One — The White House is touting over one-thousand arrests since deploying Guard troops across the nation's capital earlier this month.  According to the White House, 111 firearms have been seized, six known gang members have been arrested, and 49 homeless encampments have been cleared by the multi-agency teams.  At this time, it is unclear when the federal police presence will be scaled back in the district.

 

Two ---   Gas prices are expected to remain low for Labor Day weekend travelers.  AAA says the national average for a gallon of regular should stay below last year's average of three dollars and 33 cents, and should remain low for the rest of the summer as long as Gulf Coast refineries are not hit by hurricanes. 

 
And number three ---   Plus-sized customers will soon have to deal with a new seating policy on Southwest Airlines.  According to the airline, larger passengers who cannot be accommodated in a single plane seat will be required to purchase a second seat ahead of time and can then request a refund after the flight. The changes are part of Southwest's broader shift to assigned seating.

Two ---   The Michigan Secretary of State's Office says overseas military personnel and citizens will be able to vote online this fall.  The Electronic Delivery and Return Portal will be available September 15th and was developed with the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act.  Previously, people who voted outside of the U.S. had to mail in absentee ballots.

Matt Cox, Home Title Lock Spokesman, Public Educator, and Former Home Title Thief, joins the conversation to share his firsthand experience with home title fraud. He breaks down the shocking ease with which someone with industry knowledge can exploit the system, and whether a person with no real estate background could pull off similar schemes. Using the Kelley family’s story as a cautionary tale, a decades-old Houston home allegedly stolen via forged signatures and quitclaim deeds, then demolished, Cox explains how these scams happen, why perpetrators target certain homes, and what would have prevented him from getting away with it back in the day. Looking back on his own crimes nearly two decades ago, he also reflects on how much easier or harder it might be to commit similar fraud today. Through his insights, listeners get a real-world view of the risks and, naturally, a lead-in to how Home Title Lock can help protect families from falling victim to similar schemes.
