Dan Buck joins the segment to introduce a new format for his “Buck Stops Here” commentary, starting each appearance with a featured independent music clip, this time spotlighting rapper Tom McDonald and his track “Anti,” which he describes as a critique of Hollywood and political culture. The discussion expands into broader cultural and political themes, including criticism of progressive policies in blue states, with claims that high taxes and expanded government programs are driving a migration of people and businesses toward lower-tax states like Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. The conversation explores whether that trend reflects unintended consequences or deliberate political strategy, including concerns about long-term fiscal collapse and potential federal bailouts. The segment closes with a lighter exchange about music tastes and the surprising popularity of the band Bring Me the Horizon among younger fans, before teasing upcoming discussion on family policy and accountability in the Trump administration.

In the middle of the hour, Dan Buck introduces a new Buck Stops Here music feature centered on Tom McDonald's “Anti,” sparking a broader debate about censorship, culture wars, and political messaging in music. The hour closes with “Kim on a Whim,” reacting to a proposed policy to revoke or deny passports for individuals with unpaid child support, weighing enforcement practicality against government overreach and existing collection mechanisms.

Hour 1 opens with Mother's Day weekend recaps, including a concert featuring Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, before shifting into escalating tensions with Iran tied to the Strait of Hormuz and concerns over rising gas prices. The discussion frames Trump's Iran strategy as necessary toughness while expanding into a broader cultural critique sparked by Bill Maher's comments on entitlement, victimhood, and political anger in modern America. The hour also revisits COVID-era distrust in institutions, criticism of “trust the science” messaging, and skepticism toward pharmaceutical and healthcare systems, before closing on lighter entertainment culture talk around Bring Me the Horizon concerts and rising ticket prices. Hour 2 continues international focus with U.S.–Iran and China leverage discussions, alongside criticism of Mark Kelly's remarks on military readiness. Domestic issues dominate the middle of the hour with childcare protests framed as politically driven debates over family policy, while St. Louis topics include crime concerns, civic tech responses, and speculation around Steve Savard's media role. The hour ends with financial reporting on AI-driven market gains, retail strategy shifts, and broader economic anxiety signals in consumer behavior. Hour 3 pivots into media fear critiques over a reported hantavirus case, then moves into major legal analysis with Hans von Spakovsky on redistricting battles across multiple states and Voting Rights Act interpretations. Cultural politics take center stage with Dan Buck's “Buck Stops Here” music segment featuring Tom McDonald's “Anti,” sparking debate over censorship and political messaging in entertainment. The hour closes with “Kim on a Whim,” focused on proposed federal action revoking passports for individuals with unpaid child support and the tension between enforcement and personal rights. Hour 4 opens with Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway detailing legal battles over control of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Board, kratom enforcement actions, and ongoing election integrity efforts tied to voter roll audits. The conversation shifts into the same passport-child support policy debate before moving into sports with Tom Ackerman, who breaks down a tough Cardinals loss to the Padres, Missouri State's major hire of Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, and a strong weekend for local teams including the Battlehawks. The show closes with political commentary arguing Democrats are positioning to reverse Trump-era policies while downplaying economic developments like the Granite City Steel reopening and broader manufacturing gains.

As TIFF kicks off its 50th anniversary in Toronto, John Oakley opens the show with a look at how the city is celebrating its cinematic legacy—and how it's coping with a darker reality: rising violent crime and a shaken sense of safety. Film critic Peter Howell of the Toronto Star joins to preview this year's festival buzz, from must-watch screenings to Oscar hopefuls like The Smashing Machine. But it's not all red carpets and celebrity sightings—John also tackles the recent tragedy in Vaughan, where a father was killed in a home invasion, sparking a larger debate on self-defence, police response times, and how Toronto residents are reacting. From DIY flamethrowers to panic rooms and escape drills, listeners call in with jaw-dropping methods for protecting their homes—and Tom McDonald, the provocative rapper behind The Devil Is a Democrat, drops in to talk about fame, Trump, and the state of free speech in North America.
