Missouri House Majority Leader and Speaker Designee Alex Riley joins the show to explain Amendment 4, who is funding initiative petition campaigns, why some groups oppose reform, and whether the current process gives outside interests too much influence over Missouri’s Constitution.

We also cover major Missouri headlines, including devastating flooding, new state laws, public safety debates and Governor Mike Kehoe’s recent budget cuts. Finally, we discuss Dr. Anthony Fauci’s continued presence in public conversations and reflect on the lasting impact the COVID era had on millions of Americans.
