For decades, workers, disability advocates and employers have debated a program called 14(c), a section of employment law that lets companies pay certain employees with disabilities less than the federal minimum wage. Proponents say the program provides opportunities for people who might not find them elsewhere. Critics say it’s exploitative and stigmatizing. On today’s Big Take podcast, Bloomberg senior reporter Josh Eidelson joins host Sarah Holder to dig into the debate over subminimum wage and the future of the program under President Trump.

Marc & Kim dive into the ongoing legal battle surrounding Missouri's minimum wage amendment. Passed last year, the amendment set new rules on wages, sick leave, and more, but it is now being challenged before the Missouri Supreme Court. Marc is joined by attorney Beavis Shock, who explains the legal hurdles, including the single subject rule and the issue of voter misrepresentation. They discuss how the court might rule and the timeline for a decision, as well as the difference between constitutional amendments and regular propositions. Beavis also shares his take on the minimum wage's negative impact on low-income workers, arguing that raising the minimum wage often keeps people from developing job skills and can push businesses to close, as seen in places like California. Marc reflects on the importance of job experience over minimum wage hikes, warning that this policy harms those it seeks to help.

In the 2nd hour of the Marc Cox Morning Show, Marc & Kim discuss the controversy surrounding a vigil in St. Louis for Palestinian hostages, where Cori Bush is expected to attend. The event has drawn criticism for portraying Hamas fighters, responsible for the deadly October 7 attacks on Israel, as victims of Israeli aggression. Marc strongly condemns the vigil and Cori Bush's involvement, calling out local Jewish leaders for attending. Later, they talk about the ongoing legal battle over Missouri's minimum wage amendment, with Attorney Beavis Shock offering insights on the case's impact on job development and business closures. Marc highlights how raising the minimum wage often harms low-income workers by hindering job experience opportunities. Marc & Kim are also joined by sports expert Tom Ackerman for an exciting breakdown of March Madness.

They explain how the shift in border policy sent a clear message to would-be Next, they dissect Friday's tense Oval Office exchange between President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Ukrainian President Zelensky. While major issues remain before a meaningful resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war can take shape, Scot argues that Friday's visit was primarily about finalizing the minerals deal as a stepping stone toward a broader agreement—something Zelensky mishandled.

Meanwhile, Jim Geraghty, writing from overseas, strongly disagrees.Finally, they discuss a new study confirming that California's $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers has led to job losses, higher prices, and increased automation.

Governor JB Pritzker of Illinois is not your average progressive. He is a billionaire with an activist upbringing, in a family that prioritized advocating for the people who need it most. MSNBC's Jen Psaki wanted to get a sense of his approach to governing in this second Trump term and why priorities like raising the minimum wage and ending his state's grocery tax are front of mind for him. They also talk about the reality of a rigged system and the dangerous precedent set when an unelected citizen like Elon Musk is running much of our government. And the Governor is not shy about reminding Democrats to revive a core principle of making things just a little bit easier for everyday Americans.Want to listen to this show without ads?

SEASON 3 EPISODE 91: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Karoline Leavitt was already so stupid that she once on-air insisted there was a word pronounced "damaning" (as in 'the evidence is damaning') and pronounced the Nazi monster's name as "Hilter." Now with one tweet she may have topped herself. How do you publicly announce that the spending freeze struck down by a federal judge wasn't withdrawn, only its ANNOUNCEMENT was withdrawn, and only in response to the judge's ruling, and the freeze is going on as planned? That's called contempt of court. Trump's lawyers will literally have to talk their way out of spending a day behind bars. Besides which, another judge has said the conflicting statements about the freeze pause are irrelevant: it cannot proceed. This all underscores what has been evident since Trump again seized power. He is burning through the relative approval and patience of an exhausted America far more quickly this time than last, and there is a reckoning coming. His disapproval number jumped SEVEN points from last Tuesday to this past Sunday. The judges are fighting back. His hirelings are idiots. The public doesn't want this. Hopefully what follows is not unprecedented. B-Block (28:50) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Washington Post continues to trivialize and normalize the Madness of King Trump. Lauren Boebert is an actual expert on laboring with your hands, so I guess her opinion on how the minimum wage is too HIGH matters. And it's Anna Paulina Luna who finally gives in and proposes a bill to put Trump's head on Mt. Rushmore. Unfortunately she's phrased it in such a way that it could mean LITERALLY: put Trump's head ON Mt. Rushmore. C-Block (36:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Nothing like the stream of consciousness that comes as you awake from the stream of UNconsciousness. On the way back from the endoscopy I saw the building in which I met Jim Thorpe's Olympic roommate from 1912, and I rediscovered the game "Midpoint" and I remembered the Twitter game from two years ago: "Hitler Handshakes."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
