Marc speaks with pro-life advocate Kate Sickles, who breaks down the devastating fallout from Missouri's 2024 Amendment 3 — which enshrined abortion up to birth and gender procedures for minors into the state constitution. Sickles exposes how deception, weak voter turnout, and silence from church leaders allowed the measure to pass, citing shocking data showing only half of Christians are registered to vote and even fewer show up. She warns that chemical abortions now make up most terminations and that Missouri lawmakers are barred from passing safety restrictions under the current law. Sickles urges Missourians to unite, register, and vote “Yes” on Amendment 3 this November to overturn the radical constitutional change.

Kim dives into the absurdity of California's “jock tax,” revealing how Sam Darnold actually lost money playing in the Super Bowl after being taxed for simply spending a week in the state. The team unpacks how 21 states now squeeze visiting athletes, with California leading the pack and Illinois famously responding with “Michael Jordan's Revenge.” The discussion shifts to St. Louis's own 1% earnings tax and the city's decades-long decline under one-party rule. Marc calls out leadership for driving away businesses with high taxes and unchecked crime, arguing that until the city changes course, companies and workers will keep fleeing to the suburbs.
