Hour 3 kicks off with Marc revisiting the outrageous MAGA hat ejection story, encouraging listeners to catch last hour’s interview. Then the focus shifts to a major legal challenge: Bevis Schock, attorney and friend of the show, breaks down the lawsuit challenging Missouri’s billion-dollar taxpayer-funded stadium subsidies for the Kansas City Chiefs, Royals, and likely St. Louis Cardinals.
Bevis explains why the bill is likely unconstitutional, violating the state’s single-subject rule because it bundles unrelated provisions—stadium subsidies, property tax relief, and campaign finance law changes—into one bill to push it through. The clever use of severability clauses may not save it because the issues are procedural, not just substantive.
Marc and Bevis also discuss the absurdity of taxpayers effectively paying Patrick Mahomes’ salary, arguing that if fans don’t show up or watch on TV, government subsidies shouldn’t cover these costs. The conversation points to the larger problem of billionaire team owners offloading stadium costs onto the public while profiting immensely.
The segment closes with anticipation for Jim Carafano’s upcoming analysis on the aid debate between the U.S. President and Israel’s Netanyahu concerning Gaza.
