This admission comes on the heels of Trump making up things about his debate performance and other assorted campaign mishaps. The guys discuss lying and how it seems to always come from one party and not the other. Where the republicans outright lie about fake things that son't exist. Democrats just let them down and that is what makes them liars. Dems work on big problems that fall short. That is not lying.

First up, the second debate in the presidential election happened, and well lets say Trump didn't come off as Glowing as he could have. At one point ranting about people eating their pet dogs and cats. At another time getting fact checked on the same information or one of the many other things he got stopped on. It definitely was a better look for Kamala Harris who kept the heat on and definitely got under Trumps skin.

First Up is the Hawley/Kunce debacle. Josh Hawley decided to find Lucas Kunce at the Missouri State Fair and ambush him with a camera crew trying to get him to debate him live. Hawley wanted a Lincoln Douglas style debate and Kuntz just wanted to argue with Holly about how he's not the right man for the job. In the end everybody was given a lot of funny things to watch. Mark Bland, Jason Kull and Jenna Roberson discuss.
Next up it seems that schools are a hot bed of issues in the USA. Currently the Francis Howell School Board is off it's rocker and trying to ban books like it is 1950. Trump is claiming they are going to do away with the Dept of education. And it's a major point of contention between Jenna Roberson and her November opponent.

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?

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.
The debates are upon us and everyone is chomping at the bit to find out what is going to happen.
First up, Mark and Jason Kull decide to do a little housekeeping and promote a parade walking event in the St. Louis area for multiple municipalities. But when we start talking, we start discussing. And when that happens we want news of the week. This week Trump lost a few keep battles for primaries and they were some eye opening losses. Especially since he has a favorable Republican national position. But alas, Trump lost those players because they got primaried. This leads to talk of Boebert, MTG and reckless people on the fringe of politics.
Next up It's a Tournament of Pop culture: Best 2000's Comedy movie. Oh yes, the movies that brought Rated R comedy back to the movie theaters. And we have 4 strong sections: Will Ferrell, Jud Apatow, Teen and Wildcard. Which movie will stand above the others as the best comedy of the 2000's. Well tune in and find out.
Finally, Quid Pro Quo is a bad thing. But with current SCOTUS members being chastised for accepting LAVISH GIFTS (their words) for services to help their businesses through the courts...It looks like the court is able to be bought. Only after Trump did the world even consider the court could be bought. Mark and Jason look at this new decision where they made it legal to accept gifts for services. As long as they don't say what the service is today, and wait a while to throw you a couple bones for it. Our country is literally a cheap house for sale at all times. Crazy this is 2024.
Transition is a part of life. It can be difficult. But not for the best radio duo in the STL and on FOX News KYRO!
No guest this week, so it's just Mark and Jason. But to start things off, it seems Trump is in more trouble with moves he has been making in business. This time regarding his campaign and a company that recieved 3.1 Million in donations in 6 total months. The company is not known to be in the Political game, but it's Trumps war chest that paid out the money to them. The guys discuss!
Up next might be the craziest story we have ever discussed on this St. Louis based radio program in it's history. This give the werewolf show with Jonathan a run for it's money! Cori Bush is a Congressional Rep from St. Louis City. Cori Recently went on an interview and stated that she can heal people through touch. Like jesus. She even recounted the story for PBS and their news division...which led to a viral clip of her explaining she can do it. It's wild and make Jay and Mark ask so many other questions...take a listen and enjoy this ride.
Finally a Ranker review was what was in order for this episode. And the guys deliver on this promise at all levels. This might be one of the best topics ever. Best Action Movie Duo's/Partners! There are so many great action movies...Tango and Cash...Riggs and Murtaugh...Dom and Brian. With so many options and some iconinc ones in there, it is tough to figure out if this list holds up or falls apart. Find out on this episode of the QNow.
On this episode of The QNow we welcome Missouri State Senate candidate Matt Williams to the show. Also joining us on this episode is the first lady of the Qnow, Jenna Roberson.
So Elon must decided that he was going to give the Brazilian Rainforest his Starlink internet Wi-Fi. And of course a Brazilian tribe was super excited to get access to this. The only problem was the same problem parents have with all of their children and the internet...the people couldn't handle it. We discuss what happened and other aspects of this attempt at helping those who do not have access.
Matt Williams joins to discuss his plans for if/when he is elected for the Missouri State Senate. The St. Charles native decided to throw his hat into the ring and focus on the importance of education and all it's tenets in Missouri. Plus Matt ways in on the Trump verdict and what thinks (being a lawyer also)! Plus they discuss so other focal points that Matt wants to focus on when he gets to Jeff City.

On this episode of the QNow comedian Jonathan made returns to hang out and talk about politics.
First up it seems that Donald Trump is grabbing more people from Capitol Hill than Capitol Hill actually has. A group of congressional individuals showed up at Trump's New York trial to support him. All while there is tons of American Business that needs to be handled in Washington DC and these people are gallivanting off to other cities. The gentleman discuss. Plus Biden accepts the terms to 2 debates with Trump and this is going to be a shxt show..
Next up it's the great 2024 video game draft. The guys go around in a three round draft picking the best video game characters for their team. All teams can be judged at all times and this quickly gets out of hand. But who is really the person pushing the issue here... You listen and you decide. Who had the better team? Who's got the strongest character? Did one of your favorites make the list? All of this and much more....
Finally it seems that gen Z has a problem with Gen X wearing ankle socks. And not just Gen X but anybody under the age of 30. The guys discussing things that are clear red flags that you are getting older. They also discuss a list of red flags that women search up on Google before dates... This goes a whole bunch of directions nobody expected!
On this episode of the show Moshe Kopolow joins to discuss campus protests and the war in the middle east.
Moshe Kopolow is deep on the internet into the ukrainian war with russian, but he also happens to be Jewish and living in america during the entire Gaza Solidarity protest. So needless to say his life is interesting in the first. But dealing with ramifications on both ends of your life can take a toll.
Moshe sits down and talk about his early life and growing up in St. Louis playing football which would eventually lead him to Datmouth in the Ivy Leagues. From there we find out the Moshe made the most of his life and worked in NYC for a while handling high end hedge funds and the people of that world.
Next up the guys get into Trump and these gag orders. It seems the judge is not too sure about jail time, but everyone else in the world is ready. Moshe lets the room known that he is not a Trump fan at all. Everyone discusses what needs to be done and the best way forward for the country.
Finally, the guys jump into the Middle East and the campus protesting that is going on throughout the U.S. currently. Moshe went to walk the dog the other night and weas met right with people brandishing signs that were quite anti-semetic...the gents discuss the campus protests, the war in the middle east and the best way to fix it all if there is a fix at all!
Well it's taken 14 years and 599 other shows at 2hrs a piece to get to this one, but here we are. Show #600! And Jenna Roberson jumps back in with us to celebrate and talk!
First up, Donald Trump has been hit with multiple issues during these trials and everyone finally thought the GAG orders would be the final straw. Except it wasn't and they offered him a 10th gag order and threat of arrest. 9 others weren't good enough? This is wild! Jenna, Mark and Jason Kull sit down and try to wrap their head around all this letting "trump get away with shit they woudn't let others." Plus Biden is relaxing cannabis rules and the schedule for it to be on the narcotics list. It is being reschedueled to a level 3 substance. This is going to usher in the ability to possibly see it become nationally recreational.

This week we put the focus back on politics because the whole world ACTUALLY TALKS ABOUT THAT, not nobodies... John Scheper is back to discuss all aspects of this situation with Donald Trump. Currently embroiled in a hush money trial, Trump is trying everything to make it look like he matters to the world.
