The hour wraps with “In Other News,” covering eye-popping sorority costs, a viral Falcons quarterback name typo, China's Humanoid Robot Games, Big Ten playoff proposals, and a study showing fewer young adults pursuing traditional milestones like marriage and homeownership.

Marc and Kim's “In Other News” fires through a stack of quirky headlines. They start with the shocking cost of sorority life—where dues at schools like Alabama can run as high as $15,000 a year—sparking laughs and disbelief over paying steakhouse prices just to join. A lighter moment follows with Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr.'s unfortunate font typo going viral, which Marc relates to his own last name woes. The crew cracks up over China's first-ever “World Humanoid Robot Games,” where robots clumsily play sports and collapse mid-match like a bad alumni game.

Marc brings on Hans von Spakovsky from Heritage to cut through the media spin on Texas redistricting. While Democrats cry foul, Hans points out that Republicans are redrawing four districts only because a federal court ruled the original Democrat-pushed maps were unconstitutional racial gerrymanders. Marc and Hans torch the hypocrisy, citing states like Massachusetts and Connecticut where Republicans make up 35–40% of voters yet hold zero congressional seats thanks to Democrat gerrymandering. They also pivot to Trump's federal takeover of D.C., clarifying that while his unique authority there doesn't extend to other cities, he can still deploy ICE, FBI, and even the National Guard to crack down on lawlessness elsewhere. The two highlight how staged “anti-ICE” protests—like those inside Home Depot—expose the left's alliance with illegal hiring practices and professional protest machines.

Marc and Kim kick off the hour with lighter talk about Kim's looming maternity leave and Dan Buck stepping in as guest host, before shifting into heavy territory on COVID's lingering fallout. They revisit how Buck's kids' sports venture was crushed by Sam Page's mandates, setting the stage for a larger conversation on government overreach and medical freedom. The highlight comes from Jenny McCarthy's stunning claim that a government agency tried to pay a PR firm to discredit her after she spoke about vaccine injuries—a revelation made even stranger when her podcast interview bleeped the word “vaccine.” Marc blasts Big Tech and bureaucrats for silencing parents, stressing that St. Louis County voters can start reclaiming common sense by voting Sam Page out.

Kim breaks down the horrifying viral crash in Florida where a minivan slammed into a semi making an illegal u-turn, killing three people. The truck driver—an illegal alien who somehow obtained a CDL in California—should never have been behind the wheel. Marc and Kim rip into the failures that enabled it: employers hiring illegals, California handing out licenses, and media outlets like Channel 4 burying the fact that the driver was here illegally at all. Fox News told the truth; local outlets downplayed it. Listeners chimed in, blasting both the driver and the trucking company for reckless hiring practices. Marc makes it clear—America already has the most generous legal immigration system in the world, and tolerating people who break in and cause tragedies like this is indefensible.

The host argues that the entire "Russia collusion" narrative was a fabrication, with fabricated evidence and data created by federal contractors hired by Hillary Clinton's campaign. The host claims that these lies were used as a pretext for war and to justify devastating sanctions on Russia's energy sector, which were signed by Donald Trump despite his knowledge of the hoax. This is why, according to the host, a historic and high-stakes meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin is taking place in Alaska, where the two leaders—whom the host calls the "biggest victims of the deep state"—can speak freely without fear of surveillance or leaks. The host details the economic consequences of the sanctions, arguing they crippled Russia's economy while providing cheap energy to China, a move they link to the previous administration's ties to China. The host suggests that the summit is a trade and financial negotiation aimed at ending these sanctions and creating a new economic partnership. The host acknowledges that Putin has gone too far in the conflict but believes the President is pressuring him to de-escalate and hold his fire against future provocations. The host concludes by stating that Putin's decision to travel to U.S. soil is an incredible test of whether the President has enough control over the deep state to ensure his safety

Local police are stretched thin, prosecutors often can't hold young offenders accountable, and adults exploit these teens for criminal schemes.

In “Kim on a Whim,” Kim and Marc dissect the media frenzy over claims the Supreme Court could overturn same-sex marriage, sparked by former Kentucky clerk Kim Davis' appeal of her 2015 legal battles. They argue outlets like ABC are using the case as a political scare tactic to rally voters, tying it to Trump despite the events predating his presidency. Marc reiterates his belief in traditional marriage but doubts the Court will even take the case, let alone reverse Obergefell. They note Trump's mixed record on the issue, calling him “wishy-washy” on social issues but highly effective for conservative causes overall. Both slam the narrative that Project 2025 or Trump himself is behind this, labeling it a “nothing burger” meant to stoke protests and division before the election.
