Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe joins Marc Cox to discuss key legislative priorities, including his support for a bill restructuring the St. Louis Police Board and a proposed ban on cell phones in classrooms to improve student learning. They also cover an agriculture labeling bill aimed at protecting Missouri farmers, the potential for a St. Louis City-County merger, and upcoming Missouri Republican Party events like the Lincoln Days dinner.
Unity is a top priority for new Missouri Republican Party chairman Peter Kinder of Cape Girardeau. He joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri" to discuss his priorities and the party's future. He has pledged to revitalize the state party starting with fundraising, noting the party's budget last year was $560,000. Kinder says that's not a lot during an election year. Republicans won every statewide race in November 2024 and maintained veto-proof majorities in both legislative chambers. While he's excited about the idea of eliminating the state income tax, he indicates it's going to take more than a year to get that done. Chairman Kinder says states like Tennessee and Florida that have no state income tax are booming, noting Ford is building a $3-billion plant in Tennessee, not far from the Mississippi River and not far from Missouri. Chairman Kinder is also pledging to work to pass Governor Mike Kehoe's legislative priorities, especially public safety and crime. He also says the Missouri Republican Party is working to update its website and will also increase its social media presence:

Jean Evans is a former elected official in Missouri and former Executive Director of the Missouri Republican Party. She explains what candidates do to fill the time on election day.
Republicans currently hold both of Missouri's U-S Senate seats, the governor's office and every statewide elected office. They also currently hold supermajorities in the Missouri Senate and House. Missouri Republican Party executive director Miles Ross joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri" to discuss Monday's statewide fly-around and Tuesday's election. Mr. Ross tells listeners that he's optimistic that Lt. Governor Mike Kehoe (R) will be elected governor on Tuesday and that U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) will be re-elected. Mr. Ross also says former State Rep. David Gregory (R-St. Louis County) will win the open seat being vacated by term-limited State Sen. Andrew Koenig (R-Manchester). Mr. Ross also blasted Amendment 3 during the live interview:
Missouri's lieutenant governor and the House Democratic leader will face off in November's gubernatorial election. Lieutenant Governor Mike Kehoe captured 39 percent of the vote in a bruising nine-way GOP primary Tuesday, getting more than 274,000 votes. State Sen. William Eigel (R-Weldon Spring) finished second in the GOP gubernatorial primary, getting 227,000 votes. Kehoe served as Missouri Senate Majority leader from a Jefferson City-area district before being appointed lieutenant governor by Governor Parson in 2018. Kehoe won a full four-year term in 2020. House Minority Leader Crystal Quade (D-Springfield) received almost 189,000 votes on Tuesday, getting 50 percent of the vote in a five-way Democratic primary. She beat Springfield businessman Mike Hamra, who captured 119,000 votes. Leader Quade was first elected in 2016 and is finishing her fourth and final term in the House, due to term limits. She represents Springfield, which has traditionally been a Republican area. She has helped Democrats win seats in the Missouri House, which has a GOP supermajority. Libertarian nominee Bill Slantz is also on your November ballot. Lt. Governor Kehoe joined us live this morning on "Wake Up Mid-Missouri", telling listeners that a working kid from north St. Louis has just captured the GOP nomination for Missouri governor. Kehoe tells listeners that the Missouri Republican Party is more hooked to working men and women than ever before. He also credits his volunteers for his primary win, along with support from Missouri's commodity groups like Farm Bureau, as well as support from police officers and firefighters:
Nine Republicans are seeking Missouri's GOP gubernatorial nomination next week. Incumbent Governor Mike Parson (R) is not running again. One of the nine is state Sen. Bill Eigel (R-Weldon Spring), who joined us live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri." Senator Eigel tells listeners that Missouri should eliminate personal property taxes and the state income tax, and must cut the tax burden. Senator Eigel also tells listeners that he will unite the Missouri Republican Party, if he's elected. The "Missouri Independent" is reporting that a political action committee connected to Missouri Senate Majority Leader Cindy O'Laughlin (R-Shelbina) is working to stop Senator Eigel from becoming governor. The "Independent" says the NEMO Leadership PAC, which was created to support O'Laughlin, contributed $100,000 on July 5 to the Great Northwest PAC, which supports state Sen. Rusty Black (R-Chillicothe). The newspaper says that four days later, Great Northwest PAC purchased six direct mail pieces targeting Senator Eigel, at a cost of $100,000. Senator Eigel tells "Wake Up Mid-Missouri" that that money should have been used to help GOP state senate candidates in the general election. Senator Eigel also criticized his two main GOP rivals, Lt. Governor Mike Kehoe and Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, during the live interview:
On today's special bonus episode, recorded live from the Road to Majority Conference in Washington, D.C., put on by the Faith and Freedom Coalition, I was able to sit down with Ed Martin, President of Phyllis Schlafly Eagles. Ed was nominated by Phyllis Schlafly on January 31, 2015 to succeed her as the President of both Eagle Forum organizations. Phyllis Schlafly, whom the Board elevated to Chairman of the Board and CEO, said, “Ed Martin is uniquely qualified and prepared to carry on the essential educational and political leadership of Eagle Forum that has made it the premier organization of grassroots volunteers in the conservative movement. He is fully committed to all the values and principles that Eagle Forum has always espoused.” Ed is a lawyer who holds advanced degrees in medical ethics and philosophy and was awarded post-graduate fellowships in Italy and in Indonesia. Ed has served as Chairman of the Missouri Republican Party and as a member of the Republican National Committee. He was chief of staff for Missouri Governor Matt Blunt, where he helped Missouri to pass pro-life and school-choice legislation. Having run for office, Ed is well versed in political strategy and tactics, how candidates win and lose, and how legislation is passed and defeated. In 2016, Ed coauthored with Phyllis Schlafly and Brett Decker the New York Times bestseller The Conservative Case for Trump. He is also a frequent consultant on various media outlets.

In the recent caucus staged by the Missouri Republican Party, projections show that the earlier U.S. President, Donald Trump, overwhelmingly outshone Nikki Haley, the former Ambassador to the U.N. This caucus outcome was shared by the Associated Press, as validated by full tallying processes reaching their conclusion. In an outright show of political might, Trump garnered an impressive 924 statewide delegates against Haley, who unfortunately did not secure any. This announcement came less than two hours after the caucus commenced, a striking testament to the dominance of the previous President in this showdown. The Missouri GOP's caucus does not publicize raw vote counts. Rather, it reveals the number of statewide delegates each contender has amassed. Given that there were over 900 delegates at stake, Trump's comprehensive victory holds significant weight within the party's structure and probably external perception. The New York Times provides a clearer understanding of the caucus's function, which kickstarts the delegate awarding process. These chosen delegates represent a significant portion of the Republican party on a national level, with a clear role to play in determining the party's nomination for the presidency. Out of a total 54 delegates from the state who hold the power to influence the Republican nomination, 51 are up for scrutiny in this caucus. These delegates get distributed at the statewide level and within Missouri's eight congressional districts, adding another layer of importance to the outcome of the caucus. Diving deeper into the allocation process, there will be eleven delegates awarded to contenders at the statewide level. On top of that, each congressional district of Missouri will be granting five delegates. This results in the sum of 51 delegates on the line in what's commonly known as a 'caucus-convention' system. The remaining trio of delegates? They are the Missouri state party's chairman, committee-man, and committee-woman from the national Republican forum. The choices these three individuals make are not tethered to caucus outcomes, thus allowing them to back any candidate according to their personal preference. Trump's significant victory over Haley, according to these projections, paints a vivid picture of where the support of the Missouri Republican party lies. Such an outcome serves as a strong indicator of the political climate within the state, and it may have broader national implications. Considering the caucus' role in the nomination process, this near-wholesale support for Trump throws into sharp relief his continuing influence within the Republican party in Missouri. His role as a past President seems to do nothing but augment his power within this political faction. Nikki Haley's failure to secure any statewide delegates in this contest underscores the challenges she faces in rallying support within the party's Missouri faction. The results may prompt introspection regarding her future strategies and the direction she intends to take within the Grand Old Party. From a broader perspective, the caucus outcome might influence the strategies of other candidates vying for influence within the Republican party. This overwhelming endorsement for Trump indicates that echoes of his administration continue to resonate with Missouri's Republican constituency. The way the caucus functions gives us food for thought. It does not merely prioritize a simple vote tally but highlights the importance of capturing delegates. Such a system places an emphasis on a candidate's capacity to influence party operations and strategize effectively to gain their support. Although the total delegate count for Missouri is 54, this caucus only awards 51. The remaining three delegates might play the role of wild cards, as they are free to support any candidate. It will be worth watching how this additional layer of complexity unfolds across the state's Republican dynamics. The results of this recent caucus are still fresh, and the potential significance of Trump's victory in particular is awaiting further analysis. So continue to check back into this coverage as we dissect this developing story. Lastly, this Missouri Republican Party caucus paints a significant portrait of the current power dynamics within the party. With more than 900 delegates at stake, this event has placed a considerable spotlight on the strength Donald Trump continues to command, and the challenges that Nikki Haley and other contenders face in their political journeys.

"Missouri Times" publisher Scott Faughn has long said that the Missouri Republican Party's base is in rural outstate Missouri, or as he calls it, Missourah. Mr. Faughn will speak at next Monday's Cole County Lincoln Days event in Jefferson City, which starts at 5 pm at the Capital Plaza Hotel. Mr. Faughn joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri", telling listeners that he'll be emphasizing rural Missouri GOP values during his speech. Faughn also addressed a "Missouri Times" article this morning which says two House Republicans who had called for Missouri House Speaker Dean Plocher (R-Des Deres) to resign were until last week the only Republicans without any of their bills referred to committee. Faughn tells listeners that it's not surprising to him and that former House Speaker Bob Griffin (D-Cameron) wouldn't have referred bills to committee, if a House member had called for his resignation. Faughn also discussed the importance of the federal reimbursement allowance (FRA) extension this year. FRA is a key funding mechanism for Missouri Medicaid:

Missouri water way gets needed recognition, but for horrible reasonshttps://missouriindependent.com/2024/01/08/coldwater-creek-to-finally-have-warning-signs-after-decades-of-nuclear-contamination/Nuclear waste stored outside St. Louis was found to pose a risk to nearby Coldwater Creek as early as 1949. The contaminated creek will finally have warning signs almost 75 years later.From articleThe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said in a statement Monday that it was working with the Environmental Protection Agency to add signs along the creek to help it monitor areas “that may pose a risk if disturbed.”Coldwater Creek has been contaminated for decades with radioactive waste left over from the World War II-era effort to build an atomic bomb. But though the creek winds through some of St. Louis' busiest suburbs and past public parks and schools, the federal government had resisted calls to post signs warning visitors of the contamination.“This is decades of potential exposure that could have been prevented that they drug their feet on,” said Dawn Chapman, co-founder of Just Moms STL, an organization formed to advocate for communities affected by St. Louis-area radioactive waste.Despite the delays, Chapman said she's thankful that the signs are finally going to be installed. The St. Louis area has long struggled with a radioactive waste problem. Uranium for the Manhattan Project, the name given to the effort to develop the first atomic bomb, was refined in downtown St. Louis.After World War II, radioactive waste left over from those efforts was trucked to the St. Louis airport and dumped — some on the open ground and some in barrels — next to Coldwater Creek. As early as 1949, Mallinckrodt Chemical Works, the company that refined uranium for the federal government, was aware the waste could escape the barrels it was stored in and contaminate the nearby creekThe Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry concluded in 2019 that children and adults who played in or near Coldwater Creek or lived in its floodplain between the 1960s and 1990s may have been exposed to radioactive materials that raise the risk of certain cancers. The agency — part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — recommended signs be placed along the creek to warn residents of the potential exposure risk.The Army Corps said there was nothing specific that caused the agency to change its mind on installing the signs. The decision was “driven by our commitment to continuous improvement,” George Stringham, a spokesman for the Army Corps, said in an email. Stringham said the Army Corps would “continue to prioritize the health and safety of the community.”Iowa - Gov. proposed budget is a major cut for higher edhttps://iowacapitaldispatch.com/2024/01/10/gov-kim-reynolds-budget-for-state-universities-falls-30m-short-of-regents-request/From article: Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has proposed allocating about $30 million less than what the Iowa Board of Regents requested for itself and the universities next year, though each of the universities would receive some increase in state funding.Reynolds' budget proposal, released Monday, included recommendations for administering money from the state's general fund and other sources to the regents, the University of Iowa, University of Northern Iowa and Iowa State University. The regents requested just over $609 million from the state's general fund and about $40 million from other state sources. Reynolds recommended allocating almost $619 million.Colorado - Congresswoman Diana DeGette introduces discharge petition to ban high-capacity magazines:https://coloradonewsline.com/briefs/degette-house-vote-high-capacity-magazine-ban/From article:U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette used a mechanism in the House of Representatives that would force a vote on a bill without leadership's approval to bring forward a vote on a gun safety bill. DeGette, who represents Denver in Congress, alongside House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force Chair Mike Thompson, a California Democrat, filed a discharge petition to force a vote on the Keep Americans Safe Act. The bill would ban large capacity magazines - those that can hold 30-100 rounds - with a few exceptions and will likely struggle to get through the Republican-controlled House.DeGette said high-capacity magazines were used in all of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in the country. She said the only purpose of these magazines is to kill a lot of people in a short amount of time. “These events continue to re-traumatize our community and our nation, because no community has been untouched by this deadly epidemic,” DeGette said. “In mass shootings with four or more people killed between 2015 and 2022, high-capacity magazines led to more than twice as many people being killed and nearly 10 times as many people being wounded per incident on average.”The petition requires 218 signatures to force a vote on the floor, and with 213 Democrats in the House, at least five Republicans would need to sign. DeGette said she thinks some Republicans in the House represent districts impacted by mass shootings and may be under pressure from their constituents to ban high-capacity magazines. U.S. Rep. Jason Crow, a Centennial Democrat, joined DeGette and members of the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force at a press conference outside the U.S. Capitol after DeGette filed the petition and applauded Colorado leadership for its gun safety measures, particularly banning high-capacity magazines. “In Colorado, we are fortunate to have a state legislature focused on gun reform when Congress fails to make significant change due to Republican stonewalling over and over again,” Crow said. Crow highlighted several high-profile mass shootings in Colorado where the perpetrator used high capacity magazines: the 1999 Columbine High School shooting in Littleton, the 2012 Aurora movie theater shooting, the 2021 Boulder King Soopers shooting, and the 2022 Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs.
