City of N.O. CAO Joe Giarrusso went before the Budget Committee to address the city’s $224 million budget crisis. Giarusso warned that the city's finances continue to be a "dire situation." Matthew Willard, New Orleans City Council At-Large, joins Newell to discuss the situation.

The January Producer Price Index was just released last Friday morning. Stephen Kates, CFP, a Bankrate Financial Analyst, says, "Producer prices in January came in hotter than expected, reinforcing concerns that inflation could reaccelerate in the first half of 2026. There is a risk that producers will attempt to pass along higher prices to consumers in order to recover costs from 2025 and offset anticipated increases in labor and service expenses this year." Stephen Kates joins Newell to talk about it.

Newell talks about how the current situation with the U.S. and Israel bombing Iran should also highlight the importance of knowing who exactly is in the country.
