In Other News: Hulk Hogan Rumors, Terrifying Ride Collapse, Caitlin Clark Effect, and Timberlake’s Health Scare

Jeffrey Epstein associate, partner and pimp Ghislaine Maxwell sat down for two days with the Justice Department as the mystery deepens about Epstein's so-called client list, and then she was mysteriously transferred to a low-security federal prison camp. What did she say, and what's about to happen next?

Hour 4 kicks off with a hard look at political double standards, highlighting a fan kicked out of a soccer game for wearing a MAGA hat while pride flags go unchallenged, paired with a sharp critique of Kamala Harris’ fumbling media appearances. The conversation deepens with updates on the Guns and Hoses Queen of Hearts raffle and explosive insights from the Durham report, exposing deep state interference in the 2016 election. A major local political shakeup unfolds as Saint Louis County Executive Sam Page faces indictment for misuse of public funds, with analysis from whistleblower Tom Sullivan on the consequences for local governance. Finally, the hour ends on a hopeful note with Rabbi Heim Landau previewing the Saint Charles Jewish Festival—a celebration of culture and unity amid growing antisemitism.

This segment highlights the upcoming 5th Annual Saint Charles Jewish Festival set for August 10. Rabbi Chaim Landa joins the show to share details about the festival’s mission to spread positivity and celebrate Jewish life and culture. The event has grown each year, drawing thousands, and especially in recent months, it has become a beacon of community support amid rising antisemitism. Rabbi Landa describes the festival’s family-friendly activities, including an open-air marketplace modeled after Israeli “shooks,” cultural crafts, live Jewish music, kosher food, and a petting zoo. The conversation touches on the broader climate of support for the Jewish community locally and nationally, emphasizing the power of love and unity against hate. The segment closes with light-hearted personal notes from the hosts about family milestones and upcoming schedule changes.

This segment dives into the indictment of St. Louis County Executive Sam Page over allegations of misusing public funds for a political flyer—an action clearly prohibited by Missouri law. Tom Sullivan, the whistleblower who initially filed the complaint, explains the process and legal details behind the case, including the involvement of the secretary of state, attorney general, and grand jury. Sullivan describes how this indictment marks a rare shift in accountability for local politicians, highlighting the seriousness of the charges, which include misdemeanors and felonies that could force Page to resign. The conversation explores the likelihood of a plea deal, potential consequences, and the broader pattern of corruption that has frustrated many locals. The segment closes by previewing upcoming news on a state audit of Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell and teases a local event in Saint Charles.

Hour 3 kicks off with a recap of the outrageous removal of a fan at a St. Louis soccer game for wearing a MAGA hat, highlighting left-wing intolerance. The conversation shifts to a deep legal dive on Missouri’s controversial stadium subsidy bill with attorney Beavis Schock, who explains why the bill likely violates the state constitution’s single-subject rule. The stadium deal effectively means taxpayers are footing Patrick Mahomes’ massive salary, sparking serious pushback. Next, senior Heritage Foundation expert Jim Carafano weighs in on Middle East tensions, critiquing misguided Palestinian state recognition moves by Canada and the UK, and explaining the geopolitical reality that only the U.S. and Israel hold true influence over the Gaza conflict. Carafano predicts Hamas’ irrelevance and urges focusing on a stable future. Congressman Eric Burleson joins to discuss insider trading concerns around Nancy Pelosi, calling for a serious investigation while acknowledging the complexity of broad legislative attempts to curb stock trading by members of Congress. Burleson also weighs in on the ongoing deep-state scandal, calling it treasonous and insisting the corrupt actors must be prosecuted. Kim closes the hour with “Kim on a Whim,” sounding alarms over a new Illinois law mandating annual mental health screenings in public schools from grades 3–12. She questions the lack of parental transparency and consent, potential privacy violations, and the risk of bureaucratic overreach in politically hostile environments.

Summary: In Hour 3 Segment 3, Congressman Eric Burleson joins the show to discuss the controversial insider trading allegations against Nancy Pelosi. Burleson emphasizes the need for transparency and investigation but pushes back against broad-brush accusations targeting all members of Congress, noting Pelosi’s unique access as part of the "gang of eight." He explains why many members avoid stock trading due to disclosure burdens and potential criticism. The conversation shifts to the broader "deep state" and intelligence community abuses during the Obama era, including the weaponization of intelligence against Trump and recent revelations like the discovery of classified documents in "burn bags." Burleson calls for prosecutions of those responsible, calling the political weaponization treasonous. Lastly, Burleson predicts Congress will likely pass a continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown, acknowledging the difficulty in passing full appropriations due to competing interests and earmarks.

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.

Hour 2 opens with a heated follow-up on the MAGA hat controversy at St. Louis City SC. Marc breaks news that a listener—booted from the stadium for wearing the hat—had worn it before without issue, revealing the real trigger: a liberal fan’s complaint. The show draws a clear contrast to other accepted political expressions at the venue—like Pride flags and “No Kings” shirts—proving the policy is being selectively enforced. Marc, Kim, and Ethan hammer the ideological double standard, warning it’s part of a broader leftist push to silence conservative visibility. Nicole Murray jumps in with a spirited market update and shares bachelorette party plans in Philly—Marc and Kim tease her about yoga, hangovers, and zero sleep weekends. In Segment 4’s “In Other News,” the crew tackles viral headlines: The Hulk Hogan cause of death Saudi amusement ride collapse injures 23 in a terrifying near-tragedy. WNBA viewership is up 21%—but Marc makes it clear: it’s all Caitlin Clark. Justin Timberlake announces he has Lyme disease, raising eyebrows over his “mailed-in” concerts. And a study shows 35% of Americans now use AI for health and wellness tracking—Marc and Kim warn: don’t give up common sense for convenience.

Marc and Kim run through a rapid-fire “In Other News” segment packed with headlines and hot takes. First up: confusion around Hulk Hogan’s “death” is cleared up—he's not dead. (It was likely a mistake, as Hogan is still alive.) Still, the crew discusses what would've been his cause of death if true: a heart attack complicated by AFib and leukemia, with a nod to his iconic moment in Rocky III (not II) against Stallone. Next, the group reacts to jaw-dropping footage from Saudi Arabia, where an amusement park ride snapped in half, injuring 23 but miraculously killing no one. Marc blasts lax safety and carnival rides, vowing to keep his kids off them forever. Then it’s back to sports as WNBA viewership jumps 21%, even with Caitlin Clark sidelined. Marc isn’t buying the media’s spin that it's “not all about Caitlin.” He says flat out: She’s the reason people tuned in. Kim compares it to a binge-worthy show—you come for Caitlin, but stay to see what wild thing Angel Reese says next. Elsewhere, Justin Timberlake reveals he’s battling Lyme disease, explaining his lackluster stage performances and growing fan frustration. Kim sympathizes but says the videos make it look like he’s just mailing it in. The segment wraps with a jab at how AI is taking over health management, with 35% of Americans now using it to track meals, fitness, and wellness—Marc and Kim warn, don’t turn your brain off just because a bot tells you to run into a wall.

Marc interviews Mike Weitzel, the St. Louis City SC season ticket holder who was ejected from the stadium last Saturday for wearing a Make America Great Again hat. Mike details how he was quietly watching the game when he was approached by security and then police—after someone filed an email complaint claiming his hat was “offensive and dangerous.” He refused to remove the hat, stayed calm, and documented the encounter, exposing the blatant double standard: Pride flags and left-wing slogans are welcome, but support for Trump gets you tossed. Marc and Kim praise Mike for standing his ground and highlight the stadium’s vague MLS “code of conduct” that’s weaponized against conservatives while ignoring leftist messaging. Despite investing thousands as a loyal fan, Mike now questions if the team deserves his support.
