Hour 4 opens with Eric Schmidt addressing the Arctic Frost investigation during a Capitol Hill hearing, raising concerns about whether federal law enforcement was used as a political tool rather than strictly pursuing criminal investigations. The show then moves into economic and geopolitical tension with Taylor Riggs analyzing rising instability in the Strait of Hormuz, potential oil market impacts, and how futures pricing and earnings strength are shaping investor confidence despite Middle East uncertainty. Earlier in the hour, Kurt Bahr breaks down the tied St. Charles council race decided by drawing names, explaining Missouri recount law, audit procedures, and the cost and process of a potential full recount. The hour also features a discussion on escalating teen street takeovers across multiple U.S. cities, focusing on curfews, arrests of very young offenders, and growing concerns about parental accountability and youth behavior.
