Hour 1 - There’s a lot going on in the world, including an active situation in the Middle East. And it’s severely impacting the price of gas in the US. The average price went up 40 cents within a week. So why are they blowing up oil fields? The Los Angeles basin is no longer filled with smog, despite more vehicles on the road. It’s due to technology, filtering and fuel efficiency. Why doesn’t an oil-rich state like California produce more gas and oil? Daylight Savings: Should we leave it as it is now — darker mornings and brighter evenings? Nationals like Russia, Jordan, Iran and Turkey have already done away with daylight savings — should we follow suit?  The burgers wars continue! The CEO of McDonald’s was made fun of by the Burger King CEO and he didn’t like it. That’s what you get for eating a burger publicly — yet weirdly.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 2 - Lou dives deep into his magnum opus, the great, big burger wars of 2026, following the McDonald’s CEO’s public “sissy” bite of the company’s new Big Arch burger that sparked this epic patty battle. Take a bite out of this!  Fun fact, in his heady heyday Lou worked at Burger King — and he insists not a saggy fry was sold under his whopper watch! D’you want a side order of time-and-a-half with that night shift, Sir? Next up, are the youth souring on capitalism, and is it due to lack of job prospects? Beyond Meat and Impossible Burgers are tanking, with net revenue falling around 14%. Hence, the companies are rebranding.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 3 - The jobs report for February is out — and it’s bad, with many sectors losing jobs to the tune of thousands. If Republicans are meant to be better at business and the private sector, why isn’t it working? Is bringing back manufacturing to US shores the answer? Industries were ripped apart as jobs were shipped overseas, causing factory towns to stutter into ruin. We must revise trade laws back to the favor of American workers and hence the American consumer to ensure people have jobs and quality products. We can make America watches and have Americans make them — they don’t need to be Swiss timepieces. It’s time to circulate that American money on American soil! Lou plays some TalkBacks to gauge what listeners think of Lou and the new Sunday lineup. Should the government act like a referee? In the late ’70s and ’80s, the government went to the companies’ side and disfavored the worker, screwing us all over — unless you were a corporation. And lastly — the return of “Little House on the Prairie”!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Winter Olympics in Milan wrapped up with a huge win for the US Men’s Hockey team, who took home gold against Canada in sudden-death overtime. Lou takes issue with how he thinks many Europeans do not sleep beneath the top sheet, meaning their bodies touch the top blanket. Meanwhile, travelers are advised to steer clear of Mexico tourist destination Puerto Vallarta as the cartels have taken over and turned it into a warzone. TSA announced that pre-check and global entry for travelers were set for suspension amid the partial government shutdown — but backtracked on that announcement the same day.  More than 3.4 million pounds of chicken fried rice is being recalled by Trader Joe’s after customers found pieces of glass in the frozen meals. #WinterOlympics #mensicehockey #Olympics #goldmedal #Olympicmedaltally #PuertoVallarta #Mexicocartels #TSA #TSAprecheck #governmentshutdown #governmententry #TraderJoes #chickenfriedricerecall #TraderJoesrecallSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

According to the Supreme Court, President Donald Trump doesn’t have the power to impose a global tariff of 15% that aims to bring back manufacturing to US shores. A lawsuit brought by California Gov. Gavin Newsom certainly doesn't help. Lou is opposed to crap flooding our marketplace and undermining American manufacturing, thus destroying the fabric of our society when US jobs are shipped overseas. Lou plays listener Talkbacks — and the listeners are split regarding American manufacturing and whether it boosts the economy and bolsters the cost of living. Decades ago, it was the fault of both Republicans and Democrats working across the aisle and in cahoots to change trade law to send labor overseas. In 1972, two engineers from Westinghouse designed and built a kitchen appliance that went on to become the most famous appliance in its genre. And that appliance was Mr. Coffee Coffee Maker. #DonaldTrump #Trumptariffs #GavinNewsom #manufacturing #regulations #Republican s #Democrats #supremecourtruling #Americanmanufacturing #freetrade #Westinghouse #appliances #MrCoffee See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
