Talkin’ Politics - 9:45 min

  1. 14 min 30 sec – True or False: BBB passes before Christmas

  2. 18 min – Yeah, No… Chris Christie’s book tour and attempt at relevance, now blaming Trump for giving him Covid but he still says he would have voted for Trump again

    1. Reportedly sold about 3,000 copies the first week

    2. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/washington-secrets/fans-buy-out-trumps-new-book-sales-30x-chris-christies

    3. Trump fans bought Trump’s new book just to beat Christie’s, so now they are owning the libs and whatever the hell Chris Christie is these days

  3. 22 min 30 sec – Buy or Sell: Missouri will legalize recreational MJ soon?

  1. 30 min – MO 2022 senate race: Eric Schmitt threatens schools and asks parents to take nonconsensual pictures and videos of minors - with proper lighting and horizontal orientation please, to report to his office

    1. county heath shutting down on Covid tracking https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article256483746.html

    2. Many schools pushing back (Lee’s Summit letter)

  • https://lstribune.net/index.php/2021/12/10/lsr7-legal-counsel-responds-to-attorney-general/

  • Schmitt’s interpretation: It is a direct misrepresentation of the case that was decided, Elad Gross has done a good job of laying that out

  1. Case was about administrative rule making, and does NOT preclude school districts from doing as they have done

  2. On Dem side appears that Kunce is a very likely winner, he’s almost gone full Beto at this point with his national media tour

  3. Sifton still has lots of state Dem support but what does that really mean in terms of votes?

  4. Spencer Toder is doing good things but isn’t raising money, doesn’t matter how much good he can do or what policies he would champion if he can’t get coverage, did see he had a piece in the Springfield News leader which was nice

  5. The rest of the field appears to simply have not enough name ID and money to matter

    • I will say I think the Dem slate is full of really decent and well intentioned folks and I hope every one of them keeps working for Missouri


5. National: Way too early look at 2024

  • Biden’s numbers are bad, really bad if you go look at Fox reporting, but does it mean he’s already toast for 2024?
