Hour 4 05/11/2026: Hanaway Legal Battles, Child Support Passport Crackdown, Cardinals Drama, Lochte Coaching Move & Trump Policy Fight

Hour 4 opens with Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway outlining a key legal fight over control of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Board, signaling a favorable court posture for the state while also detailing a separate aggressive push against kratom and synthetic opioid products being sold in retail outlets. The conversation expands into election integrity, with Hanaway defending efforts to audit voter rolls and align federal and state systems against fraud concerns. The “Kim on a Whim” segment shifts to a proposed federal policy revoking passports from Americans with significant child support debt, sparking debate over enforcement, personal responsibility, and whether such measures would meaningfully change behavior. Tom Ackerman then joins to break down a heartbreaking Cardinals loss to the Padres despite strong pitching and a competitive series, while also highlighting Missouri State’s major coaching hire of Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte and a positive weekend for local sports including the Battlehawks. The hour closes with a political commentary segment arguing Democrats are openly campaigning on reversing Trump-era policies, including spending cuts and welfare reform efforts, alongside criticism that media coverage is downplaying economic gains like the reopening of Granite City Steel under shifting federal policy conditions.
