    We explore EV Batteries, The President's 1 year review and CA homeless rates
    Jan 20 2026
    On this edition of the Bay Area All Local KCBS News Radio Anchor Steve Scott discusses various topics with experts Auto-makers are pouring research into creating a better way to power their electric vehicles and the answer could be the solid state battery.

It's been one year today since President Trump took office for his second term in the White House. His Administration continues leading the U.S. into uncharted economic and political territory most recently with the president's attempt to assert control over Greenland and slap allies in Europe with tariffs if they are not on board.
