Hour 4 opens with a heated St. Louis policy debate over proposed water rate increases tied to aging infrastructure funding and the controversial use of Rams settlement money, framed as a broader conflict over fiscal priorities, downtown decline, and whether investment or public safety should drive urban recovery. The hour then shifts to national legal and political pressure points as Shannon Bream previews a major Supreme Court docket covering executive power disputes, election law challenges, and the contested birthright citizenship case, alongside controversy surrounding a proposed anti-weaponization fund and its political implications. Griff Jenkins follows with a live Indy 500 update from Turn 1, blending race coverage with a Memorial Day tribute emphasizing military sacrifice, remembrance, and continued service through figures like Joey Jones. The hour closes with Rep. Byron Donalds delivering a sharp critique of Senate Democrats over Cuba policy and war powers, accusing them of hypocrisy in their public defense of democracy while resisting pressure campaigns against authoritarian regimes.
