Next up, the guys discuss the situation at Arlington National Cemetery with Trumps security detail (secret service) and a story about an altercation and Trump's people showing a woman. And Mark explains that it sums up the campaign in 2024 so far for Trump...."pushed a woman". Everything republicans do makes them look weak and inefficient constantly.

Man oh man was the state fair a fun watch. Lucas Kunce and Josh Hawley decided to face off in the most absurd wanna be debate of any senators career! It was amazing to watch and Jenna Roberson is here to discuss it!
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. The guys discuss these aspects and try to figure out if there's any value to getting rid of the Department of Education.

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!

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.
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.
Susan Shumway joins the show to talk about running for state congress in Missouri's 108th district!
First up, state politics always baffles the minds of our stalwart national politico's such as Jason Kull and Mark Bland.

Susan also puts forth her positions and stances for Heatlhcare, Abortion and Education...along with many other things she wants to focus on once she wins in November.
Finally it was Hunter Bidens day in court, but to what extent did it help his family??? Well it did not. It made Trump look more guilty and like the system was still working good...and...it helped the democrats moving forward with their arguments against Trump. But Hunter didn't want to spend 25 yrs in prison and this was not some false flag black op BS thiing the republicans made up to try and downplay Biden's issues. The team discusses the impact moving forward toward November!
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.

We discuss what happened and other aspects of this attempt at helping those who do not have access.

On this episode of the show, Missouri Politico and state news man John Combest joins to discuss Missouri Politics and National politics.
First up, it's a sad day in St. Louis as their hometown entertainment paper called The Riverfront Times has been sold and people were laid off.

Next up John Combest is a multi-talented individual, but he cut his teeth in the early days of the internet creating a Missouri version of the Drudge Report.

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.

This goes a whole bunch of directions nobody expected!

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.

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.
