In a timely episode of The Roggin Report, host Tim O'Brien—filling in for Fred Roggin—delivers a vital message: Would you know what to do if a loved one collapsed at home? It's CPR & AED Awareness Week, and viewers are urged to learn these life-saving skills that can make the difference between tragedy and survival.

The episode also zooms in on a local healthcare controversy: the lease of Desert Regional Hospital to Tenet Healthcare, which includes a highly debated non-compete clause. Rancho Mirage City Councilman Steve Downs opposes the clause, claiming it targets Eisenhower Health and undermines community healthcare access. “It’s inappropriate to bar the district from funding one of the best providers in the valley,” he states. Others, like CPA Chauncey Thompson, defend the deal as a necessary economic decision that prevented costly infrastructure burdens on taxpayers.

Switching gears, the episode highlights new legislation passed by the California Senate to close a disturbing loophole in anti-stalking laws. The bill would expand protection to pets, often used as emotional leverage by stalkers. “Pets are family members,” says contributor Tammy Bleck. “They deserve protection too.”

The episode wraps with community updates—from dog grooming needs to local massage recommendations—bringing attention back to the everyday lives of desert residents.

With life-saving tips, critical healthcare debate, and social reform on the docket, The Rogan Report once again proves it's more than just a local talk show—it's a community lifeline.
