Missouri's 2025 legislative session begins on Wednesday January 8 at high noon at the Statehouse in Jefferson City. Republicans will once again have supermajorities in both legislative chambers. Senate Majority Leader Tony Luetkemeyer (R-Parkville) joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri". He notes newly-elected state senators from both parties will be sworn-in in January, and that Governor-elect Mike Kehoe (R) will be sworn-in on January 13 on the Statehouse lawn. Senator Luetkemeyer is focusing on public safety, saying St. Louis and Kansas City have been among the five most dangerous cities in America in recent years. He says both cities have significant officer shortages, and supports legislation aimed at helping to boost recruitment and retention for those two police departments. Senator Luetkemeyer also supports state control over the St. Louis Police Department. Senator Luetkemeyer, a Mizzou graduate, also discussed Mizzou football's success and its victory in this week's Music City Bowl:

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:

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:

Former State Sen. Bob Onder (R) captured 47 percent of the vote in Tuesday's seven-way GOP primary to try to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-St. Elizabeth) on Capitol Hill. Mr. Onder received about 49,000 votes, defeating former State Sen. Kurt Schafer (R-Columbia) by about 10,000 votes. The district includes Columbia south of Broadway, Jefferson City, Ashland, Fulton, Boonville, California, Kingdom City, Wentzville and O'Fallon. Congressman Luetkemeyer taped a radio ad before the election saying former Senator Onder does not live in Missouri's third congressional district. That is correct; Missouri's congressional boundaries are redrawn every ten years and Onder's current home is just outside the third district in Augusta. That's in St. Charles County. Senator Onder tells listeners that he's lived in the 3rd district for 24 of the last 25 years and that he and his wife are currently working with a realtor and will move. He also says that if he defeats Democratic nominee Bethany Mann of Wentzville in November, he hopes to be able to serve on the U,S. House Ways and Means and the House Education and Workforce committees:

Missourians in all 114 counties and in St. Louis city are casting ballots in the August primary election on Missouri constitutional amendment 4. If voters statewide approve Amendment 4, it would allow the Missouri Legislature to increase minimum funding for the Kansas City Police Department. Missouri Senate Judiciary Committee chair Tony Luetkemeyer (R-Parkville), who represents 75,000 constituents in Kansas City, joined us live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri." Senator Luetkemeyer tells listeners that he's been working on the measure since 2022, saying Kansas City tried to defund the KCPD in 2021 of about $42-million. Some Democratic state lawmakers say it wasn't a defunding but was rather a reallocation of the funding. Senator Luetkemeyer disagrees, telling listeners he doesn't want Kansas City to become another Seattle or Portland. He also says a vote for Amendment Four supports the men and women in blue. Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas (D) opposes Amendment four, saying KCPD's budget has increased since he became mayor. Missourians approved Amendment Four at the polls in 2022, but there was a legal challenge involving that measure's fiscal note. Senator Luetkemeyer tells listeners that all Missourians are impacted by this measure, noting Kansas City is Missouri's largest city. Passage requires a simple majority of voters statewide:

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:

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:

Sen. Tony Luetkemeyer joins St. Louis Public Radio's Sarah Kellogg on the latest episode of Politically Speaking. The Platte County Republican is the sponsor of an omnibus bill dealing with public safety. Luetkemeyer breaks down his bill, as well as discusses other topics like sports betting, his bill last session creating a property tax freeze for seniors and how he's felt the 2024 Legislative Session has gone so far.

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:

Columbia Regional Airport (COU) manager Michael Parks travels to Arizona next week to meet with American and other airlines about additional service from COU. Mr. Parks confirms one of the issues he and Columbia Regional Economic Development Incorporated (REDI) president Stacey Button will be discussing is service from COU to Charlotte. Mr. Parks tells 939 the Eagle that he's optimistic. Jefferson City Mayor Ron Fitzwater joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri", telling listeners that he's pleased with that news. Mayor Fitzwater says COU is huge for Jefferson City. He notes while the Jefferson City Memorial airport is Missouri's sixth-busiest, it does not provide passenger air service. Mayor Fitzwater tells listeners that he has moved all of his flights to COU, rather than having to fly out of St. Louis or Kansas City. During the show, Mayor Fitzwater also recapped last night's Cole County Lincoln Days in Jefferson City, where retiring U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-St. Elizabeth) was honored. Mayor Fitzwater tells listeners that Congressman Luetkemeyer has done a great job of representing Jefferson City and mid-Missouri on Capitol Hill:

Eight-term U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-St. Elizabeth) will be retiring in December, after 16 years on Capitol Hill. Missouri's new third congressional district includes Columbia south of Broadway, Ashland, Hartsburg, Fulton, Boonville, California, Kingdom City, Holts Summit, Jefferson City, Linn and New Florence. It also includes Wentzville and O'Fallon. Former Boone County clerk Taylor Burks announced his run to try to replace Congressman Luetkemeyer, during a live interview on "Wake Up Mid-Missouri" this morning. Mr. Burks tells listeners that he's the only candidate who's looking at this race from mid-Missouri, and that the district should be represented by someone from central Missouri. State Sen. Mary Elizabeth Coleman (R-Arnold) and former State Sen. Bob Onder (R-Lake St. Louis) are also running. Mr. Burks criticized the redistricting process that drew the new boundaries, saying central Missouri "got sliced up by some jokers in Jefferson City." National security is a top priority for Mr. Burks, who's a veteran. He's also touting transportation, saying service roads along I-70 from St. Louis to Columbia literally run out and that must change:

The St. Elizabeth Republican hasn't been shy about expressing his disdain about high-profile infighting within the party but says the decision to leave Congress after 16 years is based on a desire to stop working.

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.

It was another Sunday morning of sometimes heated but always civil political debate on Hancock and Kelley for Sunday, Jan. 7, 2024. Republican consultant John Hancock and Democratic consultant Michael Kelley discussed the following topics: The City of St. Louis is reporting major drops in crime, but critics don't trust the numbers. … Missouri Governor Mike Parson issues an executive order banning foreign adversaries from owning Missouri farmland within 10 miles of military installations. Fellow Republicans say it's too little, too late. … There are growing calls for Governor Parson and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services to take action against the owner of Northview Village nursing home in St. Louis. The home was closed with little warning and without full accounting for the 175 residents. One resident with schizophrenia has been living on the street since without his medication since Dec. 15. … Longtime Republican Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer makes a surprising announcement with his party clinging to a slim majority in the House of Representatives: he is not running for reelection. He represents Missouri's 3rd Congressional District, which stretches from Jefferson and St. Charles counties to Jefferson City and the Lake of the Ozarks. … As the nation marks the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol, President Biden makes the riots the top issue of his reelection campaign, jettisoning his focus on “Bidenomics.” … The U.S. Supreme Court will review the removal of former President Donald Trump from primary election ballots in Colorado. This comes as a new effort is launched to remove Mr. Trump from the primary ballot in Illinois. … Big names turn up on unsealed court documents in a lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned accomplice of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. … Our quote of the week was from St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones, who undid a mask mandate for city employees just hours after it was issued. “Upon further review…” she said masking was recommended but no longer “mandated.” … Remember, if It's Sunday in St. Louis, it's Hancock and Kelley on FOX 2. We hope to see you next Sunday morning at 8:30.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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":

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:

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:

He tells listeners that former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson (R), who's announced a presidential run, is a quality person and a good political leader. Congressman Luetkemeyer says the key for Republicans is choosing the candidate who is most electable and who can win in 2024. Congressman Luetkemeyer also is hopeful that one of his staffers, former State Rep. Chuck Basye (R-Rocheport), will win a seat tomorrow on Columbia's school board:
