On this Episode of the QNow we welcome political candidates Liz Callahan and Amanda Taylor running in Missouri for House district 103. Also Jenna Roberson steps back in to hang out and chat. 

Joe Biden has exited the 2024 Presidential Race and Republicans are heated that he can choose not to run for president. It's because their guy looks like the old and dementia ridden candidate at this point. The guys discus all the ramifications and what the future is looking like for the USA! 

Amanda Taylor and Lizz Callahan are running for State House District 103 in the St. Charles County area! These two amazing ladies jump in to discuss their campaigns and some of the topics they are focusing on in the up coming August 6th primary election! Affordable Housing, Social Justices and many more topics are on the table as both these two join the show to get the word out! 

Finally, there are appetizers and then their are finger foods. Both seem to be in the same vein, but maybe there is slight differences. On this episode they focus on the FINGER FOODS specifically and break down if this Ranker list holds up with thousands of people voting on all these foods. Will Pizza reign supreme, what about Chocolate Strawberries...so many options...all figured out on this episode!

On this episode of the show, Andy Echle Joins to discuss the attempted assassination of Donald Trump and going out to Vegas to play in the World Series of Poker.

First up, Donald Trump was almost assassinated by a man name Thomas Crooks. Crooks was able to get on a roof of a building and take a few shots at the former President. The guys discuss the events that took place and how this bodes for the country moving forward in the 2024 election. 

Next up, is the Republican National Convention and all the stories coming out of it. Even the boring Trump speech at the end. But before all that, JD VANCE was picked as the VP candidate to go along with Trump. Mark and the guys seem to think that JD is a yes man and that he brings nothing of value to the table. The gentlemen discuss this new nominee pick! 

Finally, there are ways to tell if someone is very intelligent. How many of these things do you tick off on the list...so how intelligent are you? And Andy discusses his trip out to Las Vegas to play in the World Series of Poker tournament. Now Andy didn't win the millions of the main table, but he held his own when had to play...plus he discusses being sick while on vacation...which always sucks!

Welcome welcome welcome to another amazing episode of The Qnow with Mark Bland and Jason Kull. This weeks guest is former candidate and political advisor to the show John Scheper! 

First things first, it seems that Biden is still battling the demons from the Debate a few weeks ago. Everyone wants him to step down and/or pivot to another candidate. But are there any that could potentially handle the onslaught from the Trump supporters. The guys discuss the debate, and the options on the board for Biden moving forward.

Next up it seems that Project 2025 (we discussed on the last show) is gaining a ton of steam from the right people. It looks a like a doom and gloom novel that republicans seem to be alright with. It strips people of many services including public education? Now are they really gonna try and find a baby sitter now, when their kids were fine in school as it stands currently? 

Finally we have three so we are doing the Mid-summer classic Tournament of Pop Culture. This time we focus on baseball movies and which one is the best overall. Mark saw this bracket broke down somehwere else and couldn't believe that one movie beat all the others. The Qnow is setting out to prove what is the best overall baseball movie of all time!

Jenna Roberson is back to discuss her running for a seat with the Missouri State House of Reps and joining to help  breakdown Project 2025. 

First up, There was a presidential debate and everyone knows that Biden looked bad, but the guys and gals breakdown more of this debate and put the proper context on how things should be viewed. Yes, Biden is old, but he answered the questions. Trump is also the same old and he didn't answer any of them really. Would you rather have a focused leader or some idiot that is all over the place. They will discuss.

Trump is battling tons of issues right now, but the SCOTUS just decided that they are unwilling to hear the Trump immunity case before the election in November. Problem for everyone is that this is pretty open and shut. But with this new decision, it's making people think that the president gets unlimited power and control. Which makes Trump look dangerous and bad person. 

Finally, Project 2025 is a sycophant's fever dream of revamping the federal government into a conservative windfall. Replacing all employees with ones only loyal to the republican party and Trump (currently) as well as forcing other issues and creating a generally not useful government system. It's really a scary thing and the guys talk about all the aspects and whether this will come to pass or not.
