John Combest’s Top 3 for Thursday April 9 2026

A Block: John starts off with the top 3 local stories, two of which are from today’s johncombest.com: St. Charles election tiebreaker and the meaning of “undervotes”; hemp grower op-ed responding to recent state ban, and John baits Brad into getting a tired Tony Soprano reference out of the way; Torch Electronics pulling the plug on machines – did Torch have a come-to-Jesus with Catherine Hanaway? PLUS what Torch should do during temporary ban.

B Block: After another new AI intro, it’s Brad’s top 3: Cori Bush taking care of her health; is Wesley Bell a sex symbol? Hakeem Jeffries & Dem leadership endorse Wesley Bell; local election results fallout; John Deere and “right to repair” (note: John misspoke – Deere up 43.88 points in 5 days, not 43.88 percent.)

C Block: Artemis II; Brad on Signetics NE5532 and SpaceX going public; John on Elon “fans” and TSLA stock; Why does Brad pronounce Elon Musk’s name wrong? Brad re-re-re-re-retells Chesterfield Mall – Tesla story
