Hour 1 opens with Marc Cox discussing a chilly 4/20 morning before sharing observations from a weekend trip to St. Genevieve, including surprising political displays and local history. The conversation shifts to escalating tensions with Iran after renewed Strait of Hormuz disruptions, with Marc arguing Donald Trump is maintaining a tougher negotiating stance than past administrations. The hour then turns to a poll showing Americans split between Israel and Palestinians, followed by criticism of Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and debate over shifting Democratic Party positions. Kim on a Whim focuses on Deloitte cutting PTO and benefits, broader corporate cost-cutting, AI job concerns, and declining workplace loyalty. The hour closes with more reflections on St. Genevieve, listener reactions, and Marc’s Wounded Warrior Project golf outing.
