Hour 1 [05/01/2026]: May Day Protests, Cori Bush Rally, and Sanders Family Backlash

Hour 1 opens with Marc Cox unloading on May Day protests planned in St. Louis and nationwide, mocking organizers pushing walkouts, anti-ICE activism, and demands for a $25 federal minimum wage while arguing the movement is rooted in socialist politics that would damage small businesses. He targets Cori Bush’s downtown rally, questions local media neutrality in covering the demonstrations, and ridicules additional anti-data-center protests as anti-job activism. The hour then shifts to lighter personal moments as Marc shares an unexpectedly painless root canal experience and congratulates a listener on retirement before joking about life after work. Kim on a Whim drives the second half of the hour with reaction to Shiloh Sanders telling veteran Browns reporter Mary Kay Cabot to “go make a sandwich,” prompting a broader conversation about arrogance in the Sanders family, women in sports journalism, locker-room access controversies, and the line between commentary and reporting. The Shortlist rounds out the hour with James Comey fallout, redistricting battles, renewed Trump impeachment talk, and tariff banter over bourbon versus scotch.
