Hour 3 [05/07/2026]: Iran Negotiations, School Board Election War, Pro-Life Pushback, and Gas Tax Relief Debate

Hour 3 opens with a warm weather check and show distribution reminders across social platforms before quickly pivoting into a political breakdown of Missouri’s push to move school board elections from low-turnout April dates to November, with criticism of union resistance and arguments that higher turnout would change outcomes. In Segment 2, former Senator Jim Talent weighs in on Iran negotiations, dismissing media speculation, expressing cautious confidence in the president’s bargaining strategy, and arguing Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities have been significantly degraded, leaving the regime with limited strategic options and increased pressure to accept a deal. Segment 3 features Noah Brandt of Live Action discussing the battle over Missouri’s abortion laws and Amendment 3, emphasizing pro-life campaign strategy, fetal development education, and efforts to shift voter sentiment through messaging and legal reform. The hour closes in Segment 4 with a “Kim on a Whim” discussion on rising gas prices above $4.50 nationally and the debate over a federal gas tax holiday, weighing short-term consumer relief against federal revenue loss, political feasibility, and whether states like Illinois and Missouri should lead on tax reductions first.
