Podcast appearances and mentions of blaine luetkemeyer

Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer weighs in on the Biden pardon and other DC happenings from his view in the House. Plus more information on a Jefferson City explosion and potential bowl games for the Tigers.

US Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer joins us to discuss tomorrow's election and DC happenings. State Senator Ben Brown breaks down Amendment 7 which deals with rank choice voting.

You'll be casting ballots in Missouri tomorrow on constitutional amendment five, which would allow the Missouri Gaming Commission to issue one additional gambling boat license to operate on the Osage River at the Lake of the Ozarks. Amendment five spokesman John Hancock has told 939 the Eagle that the Lake of the Ozarks community desperately wants and deserves this project. Mr. Hancock says if voters approve the ballot measure, the casino would be built near the quarry on Highway 54 at the Lake of the Ozarks. He says the boat would provide about 700 good-paying, year-round jobs. Supporters say those would be union jobs, along with a new convention center and hotel. There is opposition to the measure and from some local residents who don't want the boat. U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-St. Elizabeth), who represents the Lake of the Ozarks on Capitol Hill, joined us live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri." 939 the Eagle's Brian Hauswirth asked the congressman how he feels about the ballot measure. Congressman Luetkemeyer tells listeners that while he believes Amendment 5 will pass statewide, he doesn't like it and says locals are not happy. Congressman Luetkemeyer tells listeners that the Lake of the Ozarks is a family destination for families. Congressman Luetkemeyer also discussed the presidential election during the live interview and blasted the Harris-Walz Democratic ticket, saying he served with then-Congressman Walz on Capitol Hill and that Walz didn't do his homework. Congressman Luekemeyer also blasted the national news media for its coverage of the presidential election:

Sixteen years ago, Bob Onder lost a bitterly contested congressional primary to Blaine Luetkemeyer. Since that time, Onder's political trajectory took plenty of twists and turns — including becoming a key member of Senate Republicans who openly fought with GOP leadership. But after beating his former Senate colleague Kurt Schaefer in an August primary, Onder could very well be on his way to Washington, D.C. next year as Missouri's 3rd Congressional District representative. “At the end of the day, I think our conservative message, our America First message, did break through, and the voters decided by a healthy margin to choose me as the Republican nominee,” Onder said on an episode of the Politically Speaking Podcast. “47% of the vote in a seven way race is not bad.” Onder is taking on Democrat Bethany Mann to represent the 3rd District, which takes parts of the St. Louis area and portions of central Missouri. Mann recorded an episode of Politically Speaking that will air later this week.

Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer joins us to discuss the anniversary of the 10/7/23 Hamas attacks and other things happening in DC as the election approaches. JCMO Mayor Ron Fitzwater joins us for "Mayor Monday."

The Weather Channel is reporting that Hurricane Helene's death toll is now at least 236 people in six states. That includes at least 118 deaths in North Carolina. There are currently about 70 members of Columbia-based Missouri Task Force One (MO-TF1) in North Carolina, and they searched a hurricane-damaged area and river this weekend using boats, drones and helicopters. Boone County Fire Protection District assistant chief Gale Blokenkamp says the team has had to decontaminate and clean their equipment. Retiring U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-St. Elizabeth), who represents Columbia, Ashland and Jefferson City on Capitol Hill, joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri" and praises MO-TF1, saying we're blessed to have these men and women and that they put themselves in harm's way. Congressman Luetkemeyer tells listeners that Missouri Task Force One members are doing an excellent job in North Carolina, noting they're away from their homes and families as well. Congressman Luetkemeyer also blasted President Biden's foreign policy on the show, including Afghanistan:

Missouri's third district representative discusses the briefings he's receiving, how they're related to the border and security, and why it's scaring him.  

U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-St. Elizabeth) says congressional redistricting has reduced the number of "swing districts" nationwide from 74 to 51. The retiring congressman joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri", telling listeners that while there's a good chance the U-S House will remain in GOP control after November, it will be tight. He notes the GOP currently has just a one-vote margin. Congressman Luetkemeyer tells listeners that while voters in his red GOP district think former President Donald Trump "walks on water," voters in some swing districts view the former president as toxic. Congressman Luetkemeyer's district includes much of Columbia as well as Jefferson City, Boonville and Fulton. He says the swing districts are critical to retaining GOP control in 2024. Congressman Luetkemeyer also discussed the recent verdict against former President Trump in New York, describing it as "a complete travesty that makes a mockery of our judicial system." Congressman Luetkemeyer also says "it's clear that this trial was designed to achieve a predetermined outcome," suggesting it could be overturned on appeal:

Outgoing US Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer joins us to discuss the federal budget that the House is STILL working on, and lets us know which candidate he's supporting to replace him. Terrible ways to avoid hail damage to your vehicles, and an error in the NCAA women's basketball tournament.

Retiring U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-St. Elizabeth) will leave office in December, after eight terms on Capitol Hill. Congressman Luetkemeyer joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri" and says he plans to endorse former Missouri Senate Appropriations Committee chair Kurt Schaefer (R-Columbia) to succeed him. He praises former Senator Schaefer's record and predicts he'll do an excellent job on Capitol Hill. Congressman Luetkemeyer also discussed an attempt by U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson's (R) speakership. Congressman Luetkemeyer is critical of that effort, saying there are a lot of politics in play, telling listeners that Speaker Johnson is doing what he can to "lead us out of this mess." Congressman Luetkemeyer says part of that mess he describes has been caused by the far right of his Republican Party, saying some of them don't understand how to govern:

Mike Ferguson in the Morning 03-12-24 Fontbonne University in Clayton is closing down after 101 years. They'll close after the Summer 2025 term. Washington University is planning on buying the campus. Reaction continues to the fight on Friday near Hazelwood East High School. It did not happen on school property.

Justin Hicks. He's in his first term in the State House. Fontbonne University in Clayton is closing after 101 years. It was founded in 1923. Blues beat the Bruins in Boston 5-1.

Some funny reasons members of Gen Z use as excuses for calling in sick. Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer on the House's budget, and his opinions on the CD3 race locally.

U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-St. Elizabeth) will retire in December after eight terms on Capitol Hill. Congressman Luetkemeyer was first elected to Congress in northeast Missouri's old ninth district in 2008. His new third district includes Columbia south of Broadway, Ashland, Jefferson City, Boonville, California and Fulton. Congressman Luetkemeyer joined us live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri", telling listeners that he's most proud of his constituent services in those 16 years. He says he and his office made a difference in many lives, and that no one will ever hear about it, except for the people he and his office helped. Congressman Luetkemeyer's two district offices are in Jefferson City and in eastern Missouri's Cottleville. He has a combined five employees in those two offices. He also says he's proud of his bipartisan bill to reform HUD, which passed both chambers in Congress unanimously. While he hasn't made an endorsement at this time in the race to succeed him, Congressman Luetkemeyer tells listeners that it's critical to focus on more than one issue and that congressmen and women must work to help and serve everyone in their district:

A former State Senator throws his hat into the 3rd Congressional District race to replace Blaine Luetkemeyer. What is "phoneophobia." and why do so many young people have it?

Bob Onder, former Missouri State Senator, joins Mark Reardon to discuss Missouri politics after recently announcing he is entering the GOP race for the 3rd District Congressional seat being vacated by Blaine Luetkemeyer.

Hour 3: Bob Onder, former Missouri State Senator, joins Mark Reardon to discuss Missouri politics after recently announcing he is entering the GOP race for the 3rd District Congressional seat being vacated by Blaine Luetkemeyer.

State Sen. Mary Elizabeth Coleman is the latest guest on Politically Speaking, where the Arnold Republican spoke about her decision to run for Missouri's 3rd Congressional District contest. U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer announced his retirement earlier this month. The district includes parts of Jefferson, St. Charles, Cole, Boone, Callaway and Warren counties.

U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer threw a bit of a curve to Missouri's already crowded primary season when he announced he wouldn't run for another term. The St. Elizabeth Republican hasn't been shy about expressing his disdain about high-profile infighting within his party, culminating in Kevin McCarthy's ouster as speaker and a marathon melodrama to pick his replacement. But Luetkemeyer stressed his decision to retire after 16 years is based on a legitimate desire to stop working. “I'm going to be 72 years old in May. And so people ask me about my health … is that the reason I'm retiring? I say: ‘No, my health is good. That's why I'm retiring,'” Luetkemeyer said in a wide-ranging interview.

U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer is opting to retire in 2024, bringing an end to a congressional career in which he became a major figure on financial services issues. The St. Elizabeth Republican's decision will likely prompt a sizable GOP primary to represent the state's 3rd District, which takes in portions of the St. Louis area. On this episode of the Politically Speaking Hour on St. Louis on the Air, Luetkemeyer reflects on his career and the future of the district.

 Join Mike Elam as he hosts the Annie Frey Show and engages in an insightful conversation with Blaine Luetkemeyer, the US Representative from Missouri's 3rd district. Luetkemeyer delves into critical national topics, discussing the escalating border crisis, challenges faced by Border Patrol, the influx of fentanyl into the country, and concerns regarding climate funding. The discussion touches on bipartisan viewpoints and potential solutions to these pressing issues.

U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-St. Elizabeth) represents Columbia, Jefferson City, Fulton, Boonville and much of the 939 the Eagle listening area on Capitol Hill. Congressman Luetkemeyer joined us live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri," telling listeners that new U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) will do a great job in the position. Congressman Luetkemeyer says he'd like to get Speaker Johnson to Columbia or Jefferson City, similar to getting then-House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to Jefferson City several years ago. Congressman Luetkemeyer also discussed the House spending bill being debated today on Capitol Hill, which includes a 64 percent cut in Amtrak funding compared to last year. The congressman tells listeners he'll have to study that, noting most Missourians don't use public transportation. But Congressman Luetkemeyer says many people on the two coasts use public transportation, noting he doesn't have a vehicle in Washington because it's so difficult to find a parking spot:

U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-St. Elizabeth) is slamming fellow Republican U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) for his efforts to remove Kevin McCarthy as U.S. House Speaker. Congressman Luetkemeyer joined us live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri", telling listeners that Congressman Gaetz does not have the votes to remove Speaker McCarthy. Luetkemeyer describes Congressman Gaetz as a bully. Congressman Luetkemeyer also discussed the southern border and the MU Columbia Research Reactor expansion on the program. Congressman Luetkemeyer tells listeners that the U.S. Border Patrol seized enough fentanyl in June to kill every American. He's also praising the planned $20-million expansion of the MU Research Reactor (MURR) in Columbia:

U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-St. Elizabeth) is optimistic that a federal government shutdown can be avoided. Congressman Luetkemeyer, whose sprawling district includes Columbia, Jefferson City, Boonville and Fulton, joined us live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri." Congressman Luetkemeyer tells listeners that a shutting the government down is not an option, saying it would cost billions of dollars and would empower Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-New York). Luetkemeyer describes last night's two-hour closed-door GOP caucus meeting as productive. He says a few members of his party want the government to shutdown and are trying to raise money off of it. Congressman Luetkemeyer also blasted President Joe Biden (D), saying whistleblowers have been providing information to House committees about the Biden family. Congressman Luetkemeyer accused the Biden family of abusing their power "for some time":

Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer discusses impeachment inquiry and potential government shutdown. Lincoln U president John Moseley discusses alleged HBCU underfunding.

An east-central Missouri congressman who represents Jefferson City, Fulton, Boonville and parts of Columbia on Capitol Hill doesn't expect President Joe Biden to seek re-election in 2024. U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-St. Elizabeth) tells 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri" that President Biden has virtually no ground game, and questions if he's electable in 2024. Congressman Luetkemeyer also addressed an issue that's been a big topic in Jefferson City: the aging tri-level. Congressman Luetkemeyer tells listeners that he appreciates the efforts of House Transportation Committee chair Rep. Sam Graves (R-Tarkio) to obtain federal funding for the project. Congressman Graves tells 939 the Eagle that he's had conversations with Governor Parson's office about the project:

Gender reveal party goes bad

In the third and final hour, we talk with Missouri Lt. Governor Mike Kehoe, who has also announced that he will be running for Governor. Missouri Congressman in District 3, Blaine Luetkemeyer, joins the show. We finish off by chatting with Wendy Hausman, Missouri State Representative, in District 65. 

Blaine Luetkemeyer, Missouri Congressman, joins the show to talk about the latest in District 3.

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision on Friday that struck down the Biden administration's plan to forgive student debt for more than 43-million American borrowers. U.S. Rep. Cori Bush (D-St. Louis) is blasting the ruling, calling for expanding the court. She tweeted on Friday that "Student debt cancellation is a racial justice issue — Black and brown people are disproportionately harmed by the student debt crisis. Inaction is not an option." One of Congresswoman Bush's colleagues, U-S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-St. Elizabeth), disagrees with her call to expand the court. Congressman Luetkemeyer tells 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri" that the U.S. Supreme Court made the correct decision:

Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer explains his 'yes' vote on debt ceiling, allegations of Bidens breaking the law, and the China threat. How come fewer and fewer adults are getting Covid vaccine boosters? A new twist in Joe's student loan forgiveness idea.

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   Joel Wood joins RIMScast to discuss the shared goals of RIMS and CIAB in 2023 in the way of cyber, NFIP, and other major risk management issues. Though many of these issues are non-partisan, he provides a pragmatic view of how much progress might be made with such a divided Congress. Joel shares his hopes for the House and the Senate to work together on important data security legislation. Joel expresses his appreciation for RIMS, as a pure voice for insureds, and how CIAB and RIMS come together for many objectives and goals.   We also hear about his career and some of the members of Congress and DC players who may prove to be valuable allies for RIMS and CIAB.   Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMScast. [:27] About today's episode with Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers (CIAB) President Joel Wood. [:37] All about upcoming RIMS webinars, and more! [1:10] The RIMS Canada Conference 2023 has been announced for September 11th‒14th in Ottowa! Visit RIMSCanadaConference.ca for more information. [1:27] The RIMS Legislative Summit will be held October 25th and 26th in Washington, D.C. For information, visit the link in the show notes. [1:43] The Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers is a prominent ally of RIMS. [1:57] Joel Wood became president of CIAB in January 2023 and is well-known in the risk and insurance community, having lobbied on behalf of CIAB for thirty years. [2:08] Justin recorded this interview with CIAB President Joel Wood prior to RISKWORLD. They discussed RIMS's and CIAB's common goals and visions for 2023. [2:31] Justin welcomes Joel Wood to RIMScast. [2:37] Joel Wood is President of CIAB after 30 years of lobbying for the organization. [3:07] Joel went to Washington 40 years ago to work for a member of Congress from his hometown and after five-and-a-half years, he went to an insurance trade group. Joel joined CIAB 30 years ago. CIAB has about 185 members, responsible for over 90% of premiums placed in the commercial property/casualty insurance market nationally. [4:05] CIAB members have a good chunk of premiums on the health benefits side, also, including two-thirds of all employer-sponsored group health insurance plans. [4:30] All CIAB firms do business in all 50 states; most do international business. There is a commonality of interests among them. Joel talks of the extraordinary M&A environment over the last several years. CIAB has benefitted overall from M&A. [5:35] The member of Congress Joel worked for was Don Sundquist, who later served for eight years as Governor of Tennessee. Joel talks about working for him. [6:44] CIAB goes back 115 years. They host a premier event in the international commercial business insurance marketplace, at the Broadmoor, for brokers, carriers, and reinsurers to make connections. For most CIAB members, though, the one meeting that matches or surpasses it is the annual RIMS meeting. [7:30] The relationship between CIAB and RIMS is extremely strong. Joel lists the threat of hard markets, shrinking capacity, inflation, and the rise of uninsurable events, in the eyes of the carriers. Joel comments on the chances of getting legislation passed by the divided government on Capitol Hill. [9:34] Joel sees the most room for bipartisanship this year on data privacy legislation. Everyone in the insurance ecosystem shares frustration with 50 different standards on anything to do with data privacy. Joel explains his hope for the House and Senate to work together on data privacy legislation. [11:33] A stretch goal is to reduce the cost of prescription drugs and enforce transparency for the PBM marketplace. Joel finds two-thirds of member firms spend two-thirds of their time on the benefits side, fighting existential threats, instead of on the property & casualty side, where two-thirds of their revenue is. [12:42] PBMs have declared that the 2020 legislation requiring brokers to prospectively report all of their compensation from ERISA plans does not apply to them. Joel hopes the Senate will look closely at that. [13:57] In property & casualty, Joel would like to see 2023 legislation on flood insurance. It's going to take a dedicated Senate Banking Committee to make it happen. [11:41] RIMS plug time! Sponsor a weekly or dedicated episode of RIMScast! Contact us at pd@rims.org.

They are a leader in developing standards to make the world safer and in testing, inspecting, and certifying products to make sure that the products that get into the marketplace are safe. They have global operations. [16:20] About the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Joel has never heard anyone say they were happy with it. He would like to see more private solutions and private markets in the flood arena. We went a long stretch in a soft commercial marketplace. These are difficult issues. [18:17] Justin and Joel share reminiscences about former Congress member, Dennis Ross. Joel would like to see him come back to lobby for risk retention insurance issues. [19:20] The biggest and perhaps smartest champion of the insurance industry in the Senate is Senator Tim Scott a former Allstate executive and agency owner.

A new congressional redistricting map that's been approved by a Missouri House committee is a solid 6-2 GOP map, and puts more Republican voters in U.S. Rep. Ann Wagner's (R-Ballwin) district. It also keeps U.S. Reps. Cori Bush (D-St. Louis) and Emanuel Cleaver's (D-Kansas City) districts solidly blue. There are several changes in mid-Missouri, under the proposed new map. Part of Columbia and Boone County and all of Cooper and Moniteau counties would move to U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer's (R-St. Elizabeth) district, under the map. That would impact Ashland, Boonville and California. State Rep. Chuck Basye (R-Rocheport), who serves on the House Special Committee on Redistricting, tells 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Columbia" that he's cautiously optimistic the new map will be approved by lawmakers next week. He says if the courts get involved, it will not be good for people who think like him, meaning conservative Republicans:

The Missouri Senate has approved a new congressional map that likely solidifies six GOP districts and two overwhelmingly Democratic districts.
