Show Notes
Dan Buck fills in for Mark Cox with Kim St. Onge and Ethan, kicking off with light spring banter on weather, yard work, and dog sledding in Montana. The conversation pivots sharply to AOC’s bungled global stage performance, highlighting her lack of knowledge on Venezuela and China, questioning her readiness for a presidential run. John Lamping provides deep insight into Missouri education policy, the potential dismantling of the Department of Education, federal funding, and school choice challenges, emphasizing the power of rural districts and teachers’ unions. The hour closes with offbeat headlines, including Abraham Lincoln’s casket flag selling to a NYC steakhouse, Logan Paul’s $16.5M Pikachu card, and Silver Dollar City’s closing Thunderation coaster.
