National Grid has announced it will begin installing smart meters for over 121,000 Buffalo-area customers starting this month. We've done shows of this variety in the not so distant past, but with this news, we're bringing it back, focusing on your smart meter horror stories.

John Thur of The Financial Guys joins the show to talk precious medals, as the price of both gold and silver has been skyrocketing lately, what's behind this meteoric rise?

On the show today, we talk about the continuing protests in Minnesota following the fatal I.C.E. involved shooting that killed a Minneapolis woman recently. Can you make it make sense?

On today's show, we bring back a topic discussed in a recent program, the fact that several Wegmans locations in New York City are collecting the biometric data of customers as they shop. It is not known if this has been done at any of the Buffalo Niagara locations, because those locations are not legally required to disclose if they are, but if they were hypothetically, would it bother you? Also, we continue following the fallout from the I.C.E. involved shooting of a 37 year old woman in Minneapolis. What word or words come to mind when you see what's unfolding in Minnesota, and how I.C.E. agents have been treated, not only there, but across the country?

On the show today, we take your thoughts on the I.C.E. involved shooting in Minneapolis that killed a 37 year old Minneapolis woman Wednesday. Presumably you've seen the video at this point, what did you think of that? Also, to get some perspective on the law enforcement and legal angle of it, we bring on Attorney and former trooper John Elmore and Buffalo Police Captain, now retired, Jeff Rinaldo.

Former Buffalo Police Captain Jeff Rinaldo joins the show to break down and give his take on the events that transpired Wednesday that lead to the death of a 37 year old Minneapolis woman at the hands of an I.C.E. agent.

Attorney and former trooper John Elmore joins the show to discuss some of the legal facets of the fatal I.C.E. involved shooting that took the life of a 37 year old Minneapolis woman Wednesday.

Recently, some signs popped up at several Wegmans locations in New York City, alerting shoppers of the fact their biometric identifier data would be collected while inside the store. While this has not been done at any of the Buffalo Niagara locations (or at least, it hasn't been disclosed yet), this still doesn't sit well with some area shoppers. What are your thoughts on this, would you care if the Buffalo Niagara locations began doing this? To help explore this issue, we spoke with cybersecurity expert Arun Vishwanath and Erie County Legislator Frank Todaro.

Erie County Legislator Frank Todaro joins the show to discuss several Wegmans locations in New York City tracking shopper's biometric identifier information, where he stands on it, some of the legalities surrounding it, and we take many of your phone calls in what turns into an impromptu town hall on the matter.

Recently, a few signs popped up in some New York City Wegmans alerting shoppers that their personally-identifying biometric data would be collected while they shop at those locations. Cybersecurity expert Arun Vishwanath joins the show to provide more insight on this, what exactly is biometric data, what can it be used for, and more.
