The show opens in a temporary studio with technical issues and guest-heavy programming, then moves quickly into political controversy surrounding Donald Trump, including renewed claims about deep state resistance, skepticism over past assassination narratives, and criticism of intelligence officials like John Brennan. A major national security thread develops after reporting that a former California mayor pleaded guilty to acting as an illegal Chinese agent, fueling broader discussion on CCP infiltration, immigration policy, AI-generated media, and foreign interference risks inside the United States. International coverage centers on escalating Iran tensions and U.S. diplomatic positioning ahead of high-level talks with China, alongside debate over military readiness and war powers authority. Senator Eric Schmidt argues Iran's capabilities have been significantly weakened and emphasizes preventing nuclear development while avoiding long-term conflict, while also responding to criticism over U.S. defense stockpiles. Domestic political conflict intensifies as reports surface of Virginia lawmakers allegedly considering restructuring the state Supreme Court through retirement-age changes to reshape its composition and influence redistricting rulings, prompting comparisons to court-packing strategies and broader warnings about institutional manipulation. The show expands into Missouri legislative wrap-up issues, including abortion ballot measures, tax reform proposals, and initiative petition battles, while local reporting highlights St. Charles County short-term rental restrictions and MetroLink security staffing shortages. Guest segments include Rachel Campos-Duffy discussing her new book on American patriotism and cultural identity ahead of the 250th anniversary, Luis Valdes defending gun rights and constitutional protections, and Todd Piro addressing crime and judicial frustration. The final hour focuses on public safety and political accountability, including San Francisco police recruitment incentives and a developing St. Louis County Ethics Committee review involving County Executive Sam Page over alleged dual employment, closing on themes of institutional trust, political escalation, and contested control over courts, elections, and public safety policy.

And, of course, will there be an election in the year to come?We're splitting up the 2026 Over/Under Contest into two parts. Today, we're reviewing how we did in 2025 (badly) before we set our sights on the year ahead of us in federal politics.
