On today's show, Newell shares his thoughts on the current boondoggle the Regional Transit Authority is in. Then, Newell has on Pelican Institute Senior Vice President Erin Bendily, Ph.D., to break down a controversial proposal out of Washington that could send up to $9,000 to stay-at-home parents and the debate over whether government checks or pro-growth, work-focused solutions are the better way to help Louisiana families. Louisiana Insurance Commissioner Tim Temple to tackle the biggest stress point on your monthly budget, your property insurance. WWL Saints sideline reporter & digital content producer Jeff Nowak to react to all the action from Sunday's battle against the Baltimore Ravens, breaking down the game's turning points, how the Saints performed under pressure, and what this performance means for New Orleans moving forward, and Gulf Coast Bank’s Guy Williams to discuss what shifting Canada trade policies means for your wallet, why raising interest rates is the Fed's ultimate balancing act, and the reality of what happens if we stop building data centers.
