5-11-2026: Wake Up Missouri with Randy Tobler, Stephanie Bell, John Marsh, and Producer Drake

Jaws of Justice Radio investigates how we can achieve justice from a system of laws deeply rooted in economic, social and political inequality.  We want to dispel misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system. We hope you will listen. Host Bev Livingston speaks with Maria Miller about Larry's Law.  Maria is a CURE member St Louis, Missouri.  She has spent more than a decade seeking answers after her brother died in state prison and is now advocating for legislation that would create an independent oversight agency for the Missouri Department of Corrections. Two Missouri House bills, HB 2832 and HB 1616, and a companion bill in the Missouri Senate known as “Larry's Law” would establish independent oversight of the Missouri Department of Corrections. The proposed independent agency would monitor prison conditions, track compliance, establish a reporting system to collect data, and issue annual reports about the department. The bills are currently in the House Corrections Committee, where there was a hearing in early 2026. The bills are supported by advocates for improved prison safety because they would establish a formal system to track data and issue annual reports regarding prison conditions. Maria Miller lost her brother, Larry, more than 12 years ago after he was stabbed in prison. Miller said her family received little information following his death and that the lack of transparency prompted her to advocate for systemic change. The Missouri Department of Corrections has not taken a formal position on the bill. In a statement, a department spokesperson said the agency already has oversight mechanisms in place. The Department of Corrections is one of Missouri's largest, with a $935 million 2026 budget and more than 10,000 employees. Those mechanisms include an anonymous complaints hotline known as the CLEAR line, an internal investigations unit, an Office of Professional Standards, a grievance system for incarcerated residents, contract monitors for medical and mental health providers, a Constituent Services Office for families and a Sunshine Law unit for public records requests. The department also conducts autopsies for nearly all deaths in custody and provides weekly reporting of all deaths and causes of death. In the second part of our hour, Jaws of Justice will play another talk with Chris Gilyard, resident at the Missouri Crossroads Correctional facility. On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society.  Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are. https://kkfi.org/listen/

Senator Trent tells listeners that the Senate budget funds key priorities and that it's a "leaner" budget than in previous years:

You'll likely be voting in August or November on a proposed constitutional amendment that would replace Missouri's state income tax with a sales tax in a phased approach. The Missouri Senate has approved the bill, which is a priority for Governor Mike Kehoe (R). Senate President Pro Tem Cindy O'Laughlin (R-Shelbina) appeared live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri", telling hosts Randy Tobler and Jennifer Bukowsky that a state income tax targets your earnings and is a disincentive to earn more.

Swalwell QUITS Governor Race Amid Rape Investigation | Iran War Update | Masculinity Crisis | Rand Paul 2028 | Wake Up America with Austin Petersen Eric Swalwell — the California Congressman who once threatened gun owners with nuclear weapons — dropped out of the governor's race Sunday night as a Manhattan DA criminal investigation opened into rape allegations from four women, including a former staffer. We're covering every angle, including Austin's personal history with Swalwell going back to 2018 when Swalwell called him a "troll" on Twitter during his Missouri Senate campaign. Full accountability, zero sympathy. Then — the Iran war escalated dramatically this weekend. Peace talks in Islamabad collapsed after 21 hours of negotiations. Trump announced a full naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz beginning yesterday. Gas prices are up 31% since the war began. We break down the honest challenges AND the case for why this moment may be the most consequential strategic realignment in the Middle East since 1979. American energy dominance is being proven in real time with an armada of supertankers loading US crude in the Gulf of America. Plus — Jon Miltimore from the American Institute for Economic Research (@Miltimore79) joins us to discuss the Wall Street Journal's fascinating piece on the masculinity crisis in America, what prestige television tells us about lost men, and why Jennifer Siebel Newsom's war on masculine virtue looks a little different the morning after her party's front-runner quit a governor's race over rape allegations. And — Tom Pappert from the Tennessee Star (@RealTomPappert) is here for a tough love conversation about Rand Paul's 2028 presidential flirtation. We're both fans. We both think it's a bad idea. We'll tell you exactly why — and what we'd say to him if he called. ─────────────────────────────

Missouri Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Nick Schroer (R-O'Fallon) is praises Senate passage of a bill that involves the courts. Senator Schroer tells "Wake Up Missouri" that the bill essentially means Missouri laws for Missouri courts and not things like the World Health Organization or sharia law. The bill now heads to the Missouri House and Senator Schroer tells listeners that House Speaker Pro Tem Chad Perkins (R-Bowling Green) will handle the bill:

Justice Jackson's Stolen Wallet Speech Was a Gift to Trump Trump made history walking into SCOTUS while Justice Jackson compared birthright citizenship to stealing a wallet in Japan. Mayra Flores just lost her own Republican primary in a majority-Hispanic district and then told CPAC the GOP cannot survive without Hispanic voters. And eight million people hit the streets under the No Kings banner funded by Soros and organized alongside groups calling openly for revolution. Austin Petersen breaks down the biggest constitutional case in a generation, the Hispanic voter data every Republican needs before November, and why the party that uses the 14th Amendment to protect your gun rights cannot treat that same amendment as negotiable on citizenship.

The classic film “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” portrays the fictional Jefferson Smith going to the nation's capital to speak out and block legislation from passing in the U.S. Senate. The scene showcases how one voice could stand in the way of corruption and graft. But while the “talking filibuster” was used quite often throughout the history of the U.S. Senate, it's not in place today. U.S. Rep. Eric Burlison discusses why he supports bringing back the talking filibuster in the U.S. Senate, particularly as it relates to attempts to pass legislation backed by President Trump.

On a special edition of Politically Speaking, Congressman Eric Burlison talks with STLPR's Jason Rosenbaum about why he wants the federal filibuster to resemble the Missouri Senate's filibuster. In the U.S. Senate, a filibuster doesn't require anyone to talk or exert much energy. In the Missouri Senate, a senator or senators can hold the floor as long as they want either until they stand down or until there's a forced vote.

Marc Cox and the team fire through four packed hours of sharp political insight and cutting humor. Hour 1 opens with lighter banter on Punxsutawney Phil before diving into California's shocking $3.5 billion hospice fraud and a blistering takedown of Vogue's love letter to Gavin Newsom. Hour 2 shifts to national politics — from the population boom in Trump-won swing states and Ryan Schmelz's analysis of the SAVE Act and standing filibuster to Marc's big announcement that he'll cover Trump's State of the Union live from D.C., wrapping with oddball headlines on caviar nuggets and frozen iguanas. Hour 3 blends state issues and scandals: Missouri Sen. Adam Schnelting details his plan to move school board elections and eliminate state taxes, followed by Kim's exposé on how hospice fraudsters prey on seniors. Hour 4 brings it home with Lt. Gov. David Wasinger calling for live-stream transparency in the Missouri Senate, Jeff Monasso reporting from Minnesota's ICE protest chaos, and Marc breaking down America's “red state boom” and the firing of a nurse who advocated letting ICE agents bleed out — a chilling sign of the Left's descent into madness.

In this segment, host Pete Mundo discusses the recent controversy surrounding the Missouri Supreme Court with Scott Faughn from the Missouri Times. They dive into the details of a speech given by the Chief Justice, which sparked a reaction from the Missouri Senate. Scott breaks down the context and explains why this issue matters to the average person. They discuss the Missouri Plan, a system that's been in place since the 1970s, and how it's helped preserve the state's traditions. The conversation touches on the importance of respecting institutions and the consequences of not doing so.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Missouri lawmakers are closing in on the end of one of the state's most contentious special sessions in recent memory. At stake: a Republican-backed redrawing of the state's congressional districts that would transform Rep. Emanuel Cleaver's Kansas City-area district into one that's GOP-leaning — and a push to make it harder for citizens to amend the state constitution through the initiative petition process. STLPR politics correspondent Jason Rosenbaum discusses the latest developments in the Missouri Senate, how Democrats are responding and what these changes could mean for the state's political future.

The Missouri House passes a redistricting plan that could help the GOP. AP correspondent Mike Hempen reports.

Missouri's special session in Jefferson City is underway on congressional redistricting and initiative petition reforms changes. Missouri Senate President Pro Tem Cindy O'Laughlin (R-Shelbina) was live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri".

Missouri's Senate Bill 4, now awaiting Governor Kehoe's signature, would give utility companies more power to raise rates by charging for projects that don't yet produce energy. Former Senator John Lamping discusses how this bill undermines public control over rates and benefits insiders, including high executive pay.

   We've all watched polling and read and soaked in as much as we possibly can to try to figure out who's going to win the White House next week but now there's something better to watch.  Watch the billionaires and elites.  What they are doing heading to the end of this campaign in unprecedented and under reported.  It's the best sign available of what's about to happen.  Jeff Bezos is the latest to move toward Trump.    Missouri Senate candidate Lucas Kunce' crazy shooting incident gets crazier as the man who held the event drops some whoppers on social media about what went down.    The Chiefs trade for Patriots pass rusher Josh Uche and his former coach, Bill Belichick, will tell us what the Chiefs got.    Salvador Perez wins MLB's highest award and is the first Royal to do so.  What a blessing it has been having this man in Kansas City.    KU hosts Washburn in a basketball exhibition and Bill Self makes a couple comments about a possible red shirt player that could be a sign of just how good KU is this year.

Join Jim and Greg as they return to their usual format with three crazy martinis! Today, they discuss the Missouri Democratic U.S. Senate candidate injuring a reporter, Kamala Harris's increasingly implausible defense of Biden's cognitive abilities, and her baffling response when asked about her greatest weakness.First, they are stunned by reports that Missouri Senate candidate Lucas Kunce injured a reporter at a gun event. Kunce, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran running against GOP Sen. Josh Hawley, accidentally wounded the reporter with a bullet fragment after firing an AR-15 at close range. Jim points out that if a Republican candidate injured someone while firing an AR-15, it would be national news for days.Next, they wince as Kamala Harris continues to defend President Biden's cognitive state. Harris insists that she has seen no signs of Biden being incapable of serving, despite growing concerns about his mental fitness. Jim and Greg also discuss Harris's unconvincing reaction to suggestions that Biden's poor debate performance might have ended his re-election campaign.Next, they cringe as Harris continues to defend President Biden's cognitive state and saysshe has not noticed anything to suggest he's incapable of serving. Jim and Greg also discuss Harris's feigned shock that Biden's poor debate performance led to the end of his re-election campaign.Finally, they react to Harris's weak answer during CNN's town hall when asked about her greatest weakness. Instead of a genuine response, Harris claimed her biggest weakness is surrounding herself with smart people, and you can almost hear the eyerolls from Jim and Greg.
