9:05 – 9:22 (17mins)   David Stokes, Director of Municipal Policy at the Show-Me Institute, @DavidCStokes @ShowMeShowMeInstitute.org to discuss:  1. Route for bus rapid transit line gets key approval: You guys have discussed this story a lot with David in the past. [https://www.google.com/url?q=https://showmeinstitute.org/article/transportation/green-means-stop/&sa=D&source=calendar&ust=1782883525252122&usg=AOvVaw04w7BNK4dE2uc97vEEiMjm] The city's first dedicated bus lanes are a step closer to reality with a key endorsement on Wednesday. The board of the East-West Gateway Council of Governments unanimously approved the 11.5-mile route. That allows the city and the Bi-State Development Agency — which runs Metro Transit — to continue planning and begin engineering for the so-called bus rapid transit line. The route, called the Green Line, would link south St. Louis via Jefferson Avenue to downtown, then take Tucker Boulevard and North Florissant Avenue to the north side. Whether the line will ever be built will depend on winning federal grants needed to pay for the bulk of the cost, estimated at $360 million to $590 million. [https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/article_9560b9a8-0fcb-4584-aeb3-d81d40f1147f.html&sa=D&source=calendar&ust=1782883525252122&usg=AOvVaw2Ltj4ojHuazx_1Mx4Q72J1] 2. What if you eliminated personal property taxes and nobody noticed? [https://www.google.com/url?q=https://showmeinstitute.org/article/economy/what-if-you-eliminated-personal-property-taxes-and-nobody-noticed/&sa=D&source=calendar&ust=1782883525252122&usg=AOvVaw3v2V0XzqpNtnq9NNLqQl32]There's been a lot of talk about eliminating personal property taxes, but the reality is that doing so would likely be revenue-neutral. Local governments could raise real property taxes to offset the loss, and even if a county acted unilaterally, it controls only about 5% of a typical tax bill, making the savings minimal without school district participation.     9:25 – 9:37 (12mins) Larry Conners   Weekly: "Mr. Conner's Neighborhood  @LarryConnersUSA   See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Founder, President, and CEO of In-Vest USA, a national grassroots non-profit organization that is helping hundreds of communities provide thousands of bullet-proof vests for their police forces through educational, public relations, sponsorship, and fundraising programs. Michael to discuss: As Congress reopens the CIA's controversial MKULTRA files and hears testimony from witnesses seeking long-overdue answers, renewed questions are emerging about government secrecy, intelligence oversight, and whether Americans can trust that abuses of the past won't happen again. Michael is available to discuss: * Why Congress is reopening the MKULTRA investigation now—and what lawmakers hope to uncover. * What MKULTRA reveals about the dangers of unchecked intelligence agencies. * How intelligence oversight has changed since the Cold War—and where vulnerabilities still exist. * Whether similar covert research programs could exist today under different names or authorities. * Why transparency and accountability are essential for maintaining public trust in America's intelligence community. * What today's intelligence and security professionals can learn from one of the CIA's most controversial chapters.   10:25 – 10:37 (17mins)   10:41 – 10:56 (15mins)  Weekly: Drew Thomas Allen @DrewThomasAllen Author: “For Christ and Country: the Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk”   "Clinton Hoax, Obama Coup: The Declassified Story of the Trump–Russia Delusion” Host of ‘The Drew Allen Show’ podcast  VP of client development at Publius PR & Editor of the Publius National Post. columnist See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

10:05 – 10:22 (17mins) Weekly: Karen Kataline  Host of “Spouting Off”- karenkataline.com [https://www.google.com/url?q=http://karenkataline.com&sa=D&source=calendar&ust=1781320753779878&usg=AOvVaw3L5on9CaU86bn7zRHgziHx]  @KarenKataline     10:41 – 10:56 (15mins)  Mark Mix / National Right to Work   Last week, President Trump nominated [https://www.google.com/url?q=https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116835841525431179&sa=D&source=calendar&ust=1783728226651506&usg=AOvVaw1ec_AylYwN5oedeAnMa0hg] Keith Sonderling as Secretary of Labor. Sonderling has served as Acting Secretary since the departure of Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who exited under a cloud [https://www.google.com/url?q=https://nypost.com/2026/04/20/us-news/labor-secretary-lori-chavez-deremer-resigns-from-trump-admin-after-misconduct-investigation-first-exposed-by-the-post/&sa=D&source=calendar&ust=1783728226651506&usg=AOvVaw3L6hspNkVwuI7peY9pk28W] of professional misconduct allegations. The selection comes as the Senate is expected to soon take up Trump’s nomination of James Macy to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The committee meeting is scheduled for July 15 [https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.help.senate.gov/hearings/the-following-agenda-to-be-considered-06-24-2026&sa=D&source=calendar&ust=1783728226651506&usg=AOvVaw3k6qK8UILXgHX5n009V4kE]. That confirmation is critical, as Macy could provide the third vote needed to begin overturning radical Biden-era NLRB rulings.
