We also preview this week’s Reporter’s Notebook, bringing listeners behind the scenes of the latest stories making headlines. Plus, a TMJ4 weather update and a conversation with CBS News’ Major Garrett on the meaning of independence, civic responsibility, and the values that continue to shape America ahead of Independence Day.
