Bill Radke reviews the week’s news with Essex Porter, reporter for KIRO TV, Melissa Santos, reporter for Crosscut, and Bill Finkbeiner, former state legislator.

The legislative session wrapped up Sunday night. We talk about some of the bills, including affirmative action and human composting.

We also discuss the crane collapse over the weekend. The state is investigating five companies involved. We ask: Do we need more regulations?

And King County's latest point-in -time count of the homeless population in the region is out. The survey shows an 8% decrease, but some are skeptical.

Plus, Gov. Jay Inslee says Beto O'Rourke stole his signature line on climate change. Should he be mad? Or excited that his message is spreading?

Finally, we look at the man winning "Jeopardy!" by huge margins, and the denial by Amazon that it fires workers by robot.
