Tonight I want to get into some of the "conservatives" in the state wanting to push data centers. They say we have to or China will lead in this technology. What technology? Are they talking about AI, or are they pushing for the surveillance state. I'll also have a video from the UK where a man is being interviewed about the state of his country and what he thinks the problems really are, and where they stem from.

It's once again time for our monthly conversation with Tom Martz with the Locke and Smith Foundation. Every month we discuss how the legislature here in Missouri constantly ignores the constitution. It's something that needs to be remedied, but how do we get there.

Tonight we're joined by Libertarian candidate Michael Murphy who's running for Cook County Board President. We don't often hear of a Libertarian candidate in his neck of the woods, so it should be a very interesting conversation.

Death Penalty Debate Hits a Wall A Missouri effort to end judge-imposed death sentences has stalled in the state Senate, highlighting deep divisions over how capital punishment should be handled and who should have the final say. Free Speech Protections Move Forward Lawmakers passed a bill targeting “meritless lawsuits” often used to silence critics — commonly known as SLAPP suits, which are designed to intimidate and shut down public participation. Where Is Kim Gardner Now? Former St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, who resigned in 2023 amid controversy and criticism over her office’s performance, has since stepped away from her role after years of legal and political pressure. Citizens Push Back on Data Centers Across Missouri, residents are packing local meetings and speaking out against proposed data centers — raising concerns about energy use, land impact, and transparency. The message is clear: communities want a say in what’s happening in their backyard. What do YOU think? Should judges have the power to impose death sentences? Are free speech protections strong enough? And should communities have veto power over large projects like data centers?

Missouri is seeing major political and social shifts—from housing struggles to local elections and education policy debates. Here’s what you need to know 👇 🏠 Renters organize across Missouri Tenants are forming unions to fight rising rents, unsafe living conditions, and a severe shortage of affordable housing. In fact, Missouri has only about 27 affordable homes for every 100 extremely low-income renters, pushing many toward collective action like tenant unions and even lawsuits to stay housed. 🗳️ Voters shake up local leadership in Festus After officials approved a controversial $6 billion data center, residents in Festus voted out multiple city council members. Many voters said the decision lacked transparency and ignored community concerns, leading to a major political backlash. 📚 Educators push back on new reading law Missouri lawmakers are considering a bill that would require struggling third-grade readers to repeat the grade. Teachers and administrators argue the policy could do more harm than good, saying retention doesn’t address root learning issues and may disrupt progress already being made through literacy programs. 💬 These stories highlight a bigger picture: Missourians organizing, voting, and speaking out on issues that directly impact their lives. 👉 What do YOU think about these changes?
