Hour 3 delivers a hard-hitting look at political corruption and accountability in St. Louis County, featuring David Stokes of the Show Me Institute breaking down Sam Page's indictment and the decades-long abuse of taxpayer-funded political mailers. Former Senator Jim Talent tackles the brewing feud between President Trump and Senator Josh Hawley over insider trading legislation, stressing transparency without choking public service. Former Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson exposes the real dangers of social media-fueled misinformation in policing, using the violent Cincinnati assault as a case study and warning about the woke justice system letting violent criminals loose. Finally, Kim Otto previews the Trump-backed plan to streamline medical records through opt-in tech apps, acknowledging privacy fears but emphasizing the need for modernization and patient control. A power-packed hour revealing the failures and fights shaping America today.

Hour 3, Segment 1 opens with Marc and Kim setting the stage for a heavy political discussion about St. Louis County's ongoing corruption crisis. David Stokes from the Show Me Institute dives deep into the indictment of County Executive Sam Page for allegedly misusing taxpayer funds to influence an election. Stokes contrasts this with the more serious charges against former executive Steve Stenger but emphasizes the erosion of trust in local government. They discuss the pattern of abuse in taxpayer-funded election mailers, the failure of county oversight—particularly the lack of a functioning county auditor—and the toxic political environment fueling these scandals. The segment closes with criticism of Page's defenders who blame the Attorney General and a preview of the next discussion on the Hawley-Biden insider trading bill dispute.
