After shamelessly stealing the topic from Joe Beamer, we talk about the proposed expansion of the Metro Rail out to UB North Campus. The project probably wouldn't be completed until 2032 at the earliest, and would cost upwards of $1 billion, not even figuring in the inevitable cost overruns. Even if you're a fan of public transit, is this even worth it?

Shortly after 1 p.m. Tuesday, a pedestrian was injured after being struck in the head by a brick that is believed to have fallen fro around the 13th floor of the Liberty Building in downtown Buffalo. WBEn's Brayton Wilson was on the scene and joined the program to provide the latest info on that.

Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews recently said the country is moving towards President Trump, despite polls that have indicated the opposite. Do you agree with Matthews, do you even believe the polls anymore? Also discussed today, illegal immigration, do you think all illegals should be deported? Also, there was a stabbing at a Walmart in Traverse City, Michigan over the weekend, and it was brought to a stop by an armed citizen conceal carrying. Do you conceal carry? How often?

Western New York will be entrenched in some extreme heat to begin the week, with temperatures being in the 90-100 Fahrenheit range and the heat index being in that range as well lasting through Wednesday. Meteorologist And Parker joins us to discuss this and give us a general look at the forecast as well.

Today, we focus on the electrification of New York State as a judge recently backed New York State's ban on gas hookups starting in 2026 for new builds. Also, the state recently committed $200 million to fund zero emission, or electric, school buses. Clearly, the state is going all in on the electric push. What are your thoughts on this, is this a giant disaster in the making?

What better day to talk about boating than a day where temperatures reached 90 in Buffalo. Proper boating etiquette can be taken multiple ways, if you're captaining the boat, what is proper etiquette amongst boat captains sharing the seas, if you're invited on a boat, what are the do's and dont's of being a guest on a vessel. Whatever the situation, we take your calls on proper etiquette on all things seafaring.

Also, we talk about President Trump's appearance touring the Federal Reserve with Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

President Trump made the bombshell claim yesterday when asked in the Oval Office Tuesday in an appearance with Philippines leader Ferdinand Marcos Jr. accusing former President Obama of treason, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said Wednesday in the White House briefing room that Obama and his advisors 'conspired to subvert the will of the American People." This is a huge story, what are your thoughts on this, given what President Trump has had to endure over the years, do you buy this?

Shortly before the live airing of this program, we received the news that the music world lost a true giant. Iconic Black Sabbath frontman and accomplished solo act Ozzy Osbourne, the Prince of Darkness, died at age 76 today. For many, this news may have come as a gut punch. Exploring this a little further, what celebrity deaths bothered you the most?

To begin today, we pick up where we left off late last week with the fallout of the murder of Amanda Thompson. Would you support 'Amanda's Law'? No such law exists, but the proposal would be that if one person has an order of protection against another, and that order of protection is violated, the offender would automatically go to jail and remain until their trial on whatever they were initially charged with, would you support such legislation

Also, we talk about some news in the political realm, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accused former President Barack Obama of a longstanding effort to subvert President Donald Trump, going so far as to send a criminal referral to the DOJ, and we talk about Trump suing Rupert Murdoch for $10 billion over a Wall Street Journal story about a supposed birthday letter Trump wrote to Jeffrey Epstein.

We open up the show with Buffalo Attorney Paul Cambria to explain New York State's much maligned bail reform laws in the wake of the murder of 44-year-old Amanda Thompson, and whether it played a role in her murder, and we pose that question to you as well. Do you think the system failed Amanda Thompson? Given that the alleged perpetrator had an extensive criminal record, including one arrest which posted a $50,000 bail and the District Attorney's office requested he not be released, and he violated an order of protection yet was allowed to be a free man until allegedly committing the murder, did the system fail?
