Hour 3 05/11/2026: Studio C Kickoff, Iran Politics, Gas Tax Battles, Gun Rights Defense, and Recess Policy Clash

Hour 3 opens in Studio C with production updates and platform housekeeping, then quickly pivots into political and cultural firestorms, starting with previewed guests including U.S. Sen. Eric Schmidt and discussion of his recent golf outing with Bryson DeChambeau, alongside broader political analysis of Iran tensions, Middle East strategy debates, and commentary tied to figures like John Fetterman and competing tax policies between Missouri and Illinois, including detailed breakdowns of fuel tax burdens. The hour shifts into a high-energy interview with Todd Piro, who joins while battling a chest cold and reacts to national crime incidents, judicial leniency concerns, and political friction surrounding Trump-related controversies, reflecting broader frustration with the justice system and political polarization. Next, Luis Valdes of Gun Owners of America delivers a strong Second Amendment defense, arguing against disarmament, comparing global authoritarian regimes, and emphasizing constitutional rights across the First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments while promoting upcoming advocacy events in Iowa. The hour closes with “Kim on a Whim,” focused on new guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics urging restored daily recess in schools, sparking a broader discussion on student discipline, classroom behavior, and whether removing recess is harming child development more than it helps academic performance.
