The race for Maryland’s 3rd Congressional District is underway, and Republican nominee ⁠Berney Flowers⁠ joins host ⁠Todd M. Schoenberger⁠ on Campaign Trail: The Road to Congress for a wide-ranging discussion about the issues he wants to put at the center of his campaign against Democratic nominee Sarah Elfreth.

Flowers discusses his recent door-to-door campaigning and explains why affordability, electricity costs, taxes and public safety are central to his message. He outlines his views on federal energy policy and argues that Washington should examine what can be done through agencies including FERC and NERC to address pressure on household electricity bills. In a pre-primary voter guide, Flowers similarly identified affordability and domestic energy production among his priorities.

The conversation also turns to national security, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. Flowers discusses his military and government background and how he believes that experience would shape his approach to emerging cyber threats and AI policy if elected.

Schoenberger and Flowers also discuss Maryland redistricting, federal spending and the national debt, as well as Flowers’ campaign strategy and efforts to reach voters throughout the district. Flowers describes recent campaigning in Brooklyn Park and previews appearances at the Anne Arundel County Fair.

The episode presents Flowers’ arguments and campaign positions as Maryland voters prepare to choose between him and Elfreth in the general election. Official primary results show Flowers carried 48.92% of Republican primary votes districtwide, including 47.09% in Anne Arundel County and 52.76% in Howard County.

Wall Street heads into a pivotal Federal Reserve decision with investors confronting a powerful combination of $100-plus oil, a 10-year Treasury yield near 5% and renewed pressure on technology and crypto.

On the Tuesday, September 15 Closing Bell edition of Biz Talk Today TV’s Street Brief, host Todd M. Schoenberger breaks down the day’s market decline, including the Dow’s 331-point drop and the S&P 500’s nearly half-percent retreat.

Todd examines the surge in crude oil, concerns surrounding Saudi energy supplies, and why higher energy prices could ripple through transportation, manufacturing and consumer inflation. He also looks ahead to the Federal Reserve’s Wednesday decision and what Chair Kevin Warsh’s comments could signal about the path of interest rates.

Plus: renewed anxiety surrounding the AI trade, September’s reputation on Wall Street, and the setback for crypto legislation in Washington that added pressure to Bitcoin and crypto-linked stocks.

The closing bell has rung. Now the focus shifts to the Fed.

Tax season may be over, but some of the most important tax decisions of the year are happening right now.

On this episode of ⁠The Money Path⁠, host ⁠Todd M. Schoenberger⁠ sits down with Ricky Lavina, CPA, Co-Founder and CEO of ⁠Taxfyle⁠, to explain why September can be a critical planning window for taxpayers, investors and financial advisors.

Lavina breaks down year-end strategies involving tax-loss and capital-gains harvesting, Roth IRAs, rental properties, retirement planning and business income. He also explains why paperwork-heavy strategies should be addressed early—and why taxpayers who have missed filings shouldn't wait for the IRS to come looking for them.

The conversation also explores how artificial intelligence is transforming tax planning. Taxfyle's technology can analyze prior returns against dozens of potential strategies, but Lavina cautions that AI can still make mistakes—making professional judgment and validation essential.

Plus, Lavina explains why we're entering what he calls a “golden age of the advisor,” where financial advisors can combine investments, taxes and AI-powered planning to provide clients with a more complete financial picture.

And what happens if you haven't filed taxes in years? Lavina explains why there are paths forward—and why proactively addressing the IRS can be far better than waiting for the government to contact you.

Miami Beach is confronting a question cities across America are increasingly facing: How do you use technology to fight crime without sacrificing personal privacy?

On this episode of ⁠Power Hour⁠, host ⁠Todd M. Schoenberger⁠ sits down with ⁠Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner⁠ for a wide-ranging conversation about public safety, automated license-plate readers, tourism, housing, flooding and the future of one of America’s most recognizable destinations.

Meiner explains why Miami Beach is exploring moving some license-plate readers onto voluntarily participating private properties following Florida’s directive affecting readers on state roads. He argues that the technology remains an important law-enforcement tool while describing the access controls and oversight he says Miami Beach uses to protect residents’ privacy.

The conversation goes well beyond cameras. Meiner discusses the city’s Spring Break strategy, reports a 16% decline in major crime, and says Miami Beach has reached its lowest homeless population on record. He also points to nine consecutive months of increased resort-tax collections and strong hotel rates as signs of the city’s economic momentum.

The Mayor addresses affordability and workforce housing, Miami Beach’s efforts to prepare for flooding and sea-level rise, privately owned seawalls, beach nourishment and the coming 800-room Grand Hyatt, which he believes could transform the economics of the Miami Beach Convention Center.

And with businesses, professionals and young families continuing to move into the region, Schoenberger asks the bigger question: Can Miami Beach continue growing while preserving the quality of life that made people want to live there in the first place?

Plus, Meiner previews another project he wants to discuss further: free water-taxi service connecting Miami Beach and Miami.

NFL Week 1 delivered chaos—and the biggest lesson wasn't simply that favorites lost. It was that the price mattered.

On this episode of Madden On The Line, host Jo Madden, Vice President of Sports Gaming Media at CrossCheck Media Inc., welcomes George Kurtz of SportsGrid to separate legitimate Week 1 warning signs from the overreactions that could cost bettors money in Week 2.

Arizona, the Giants and Jets delivered outright wins as underdogs, while Detroit, Philadelphia and Seattle won their games but failed to cover their respective spreads. As Madden explains, bettors could correctly predict which team would win and still make the wrong bet.

Kurtz joins the show to examine what went wrong for the Los Angeles Chargers, why he's more concerned about their offense than one poor defensive performance, and what an 0-2 start could mean if they fail to rebound. The conversation then turns to his Dallas Cowboys, Dak Prescott's Week 1 performance and why Dallas' upcoming schedule makes its next game particularly important.

Madden also goes Buy, Sell or Overreact, examining Baltimore's explosive start, Chicago's offense, Cincinnati's defense and a Minnesota final score she believes doesn't tell the complete story. Green Bay led Minnesota 22-10 late in the third quarter before the game flipped dramatically—exactly the kind of result that can distort how bettors approach the following week's lines.

Then it's on to the early NFL Week 2 betting board: Lions-Bills, Bengals-Texans, Packers-Jets and 49ers-Dolphins. Which numbers deserve attention? Which teams could offer buy-low opportunities? And which spreads may already be too expensive?

The message after one wild Sunday is simple: don't handicap the scoreboard—handicap the game.

Copper is hitting historic levels, oil remains a major inflation threat, retail stocks are struggling—and Mish Schneider says the divergence across markets may be telling investors something important.

On this episode of ⁠Financial Compass⁠, host ⁠Todd M. Schoenberger⁠ sits down with ⁠Mish Schneider⁠, Founder of the ⁠Economic Modern Family⁠ and Chief Strategist for ⁠MarketGauge.com⁠, to break down what commodities, consumers and key market sectors are signaling about the economy.

Mish explains why the weakness in retail deserves attention even as biotech and semiconductors show relative strength. With consumers becoming increasingly selective about where they spend, could retail be an early warning that the broader economy isn't as strong beneath the surface as the headline numbers suggest?

The conversation turns to commodities, where Mish discusses record copper prices, her outlook for oil potentially reaching $104–$105 per barrel, and one surprising inflation indicator investors rarely watch: sugar. Mish explains why sugar's move toward $0.21 per pound could provide another clue about where inflation is headed.

Todd and Mish also examine the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting, the possibility of another shift in interest-rate policy, the proposed $5,000 payment to Americans, and whether additional government spending could ultimately influence inflation and financial markets.

The episode closes on a deeply personal note as Mish recalls September 11, 2001, and how a last-minute change of plans kept her husband, Keith Schneider, from attending a conference at Windows on the World that morning.

Copper. Oil. Inflation. The consumer. The Fed. Mish Schneider connects the signals Wall Street may be overlooking.

AI fears, inflation, interest rates and Washington are colliding—and ⁠Wayve Capital⁠ CEO Joe Besecker and CIO Rhys Williams join host ⁠Todd M. Schoenberger⁠ to separate the market risks from the noise.

The conversation tackles warnings about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence and why Besecker and Williams believe the answer isn’t slowing U.S. AI development—but maintaining American leadership while building stronger guardrails and oversight.

The discussion then turns to the proposed $5,000 payments to Americans, the potential inflationary consequences of another massive fiscal injection, and whether some of that money could instead be directed toward wealth-building investments and critical infrastructure.

Plus, the Wayve Capital team examines sticky inflation, rising energy costs, the possibility of a Fed rate hike, AI spending, Oracle, data centers and the outlook for technology stocks. Besecker explains why he still sees strength in the AI trade despite near-term volatility, while Williams examines whether enormous capital spending is ultimately translating into sustainable earnings.

And because it’s ⁠Wayve Wire⁠, the conversation eventually reaches football—with an impromptu fantasy draft and a look at the rapidly changing economics of college sports.
