Hour 2 opens with guest host Dan Buck and Kim St. Onge addressing midterm campaign dynamics following leaked audio from Politico capturing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton complaining about D.C. strategists driving his campaign messaging. The hosts also review reports alleging Federal Bureau of Investigation surveillance tracking involving presidential campaign advisor Susie Wiles. On the RhinoShield Short List, Buck and St. Onge evaluate soundbites from Secretary of State Marco Rubio regarding foreign base security, Supreme Court arguments on corporate environmental tort suits, and Vice President JD Vance on government advertising.
The second segment transitions to the St. Louis Morning Brief, examining a federal lawsuit filed by the Archdiocese of St. Louis over sacramental access for detainees at the Ste. Genevieve County Detention Center, proposed 500-foot setback rules for data centers before the St. Louis County Planning Commission, a fatal copper theft attempt in Madison County, and an investigation into unpermitted bus operators in the Belleville West High School district.
In segment three, former Missouri State Senator John Lamping breaks down state congressional redistricting adjustments, ballot measures including Amendment 6, and public statements from U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt. The hour closes with In Other News, sponsored by Zerorez St. Louis, covering the passing of televangelist Jim Bakker at age 86, St. Pete/Clearwater tourism job promotions, Not the Bee records on short firefighters, and invasive northern snakehead warnings from the Missouri Department of Conservation.
