The Jennifer Bukowsky Show

Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) director Kurt Schaefer says Missouri is one of the top ten mineral possessing states in the nation. He joined hosts Jennifer Bukowsky and Stephanie Bell live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri":

Happy Mother’s Day from the mother ship. Jennifer opens the show with the strange new UAP disclosure — including federal agents reporting “orbs launching orbs” in the western United States — and asks whether the government is finally telling us something, or just deepening the mystery.

Then it’s a wild Sunday ride through Oz the Mentalist’s Karoline Leavitt prediction, Denmark’s climate guilt trip for elderly meat-eaters, JD Vance in Iowa, Marco Rubio doing yet another job, RFK Jr.’s latest animal adventure, and the Obama Presidential Center’s very expensive architectural situation.

Plus: an 86-year-old Las Vegas man tries to personally broker Greenland joining America, New York elites panic over the city’s political future, the Criminal Docket checks in on major cases, and Jennifer breaks down a big week in the redistricting wars ahead of the midterms.

And on this date in history: Churchill, Mandela, and the bizarre 2005 grenade attack near President George W. Bush in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Cheers to the Golden Age.

This week Jennifer takes listeners from the ridiculous to the profound: Trump knowingly dancing to the “Gay National Anthem,” the Golden Cabinet’s latest moves, Spirit Airlines’ collapse, and Trump’s proposed Garden of American Heroes. Then it’s time for the Criminal Docket, including new analysis of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner attack and updates on major cases Jennifer has been tracking.

In the second hour, Jennifer turns serious with a hard look at Canada’s expanding medical-assistance-in-dying regime and why it reveals something deeply dangerous about a society that starts treating vulnerable people as problems to be solved. But the show doesn’t end in despair: Jennifer closes with a reminder that America is still a country built around life, courage, heroes, family, and the belief that every person has value.

Plus: Osama bin Laden’s death anniversary, what happened on this date in history, local look-ahead items, and a toast to the Golden Age.

Shocker- that story about the JP Morgan employee claiming that his hot female boss forced him to be her sex slave was apparently all fantasy, no fact. Plus, the partial government shutdown targeting DHS is finally over after 76 days, Iran tensions are driving Missouri gas prices toward $3.60+, and the Supreme Court just delivered a major win against racial gerrymandering that directly affects our own congressional map referendum right here at home. Lt. Gov. David Wasinger joined us to talk Route 66 tourism dollars, why Missouri needs Senate livestreaming for real transparency, and putting American graduates first on H-1B visas. Fox News’ Tonya Powers reflected on the 15th anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s death and what it means for today’s threats. Plus, to Make America Healthy again, Jennifer shared the results of a new study that showed a simple “11-5-Quarter Cup Rule” that can cut your risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure by 10% with tiny daily changes you can actually do. Just add 11 more minutes of sleep, 5 more minutes of activity, ad 1/4 cup of vegetables to your day.

Missouri Lieutenant Governor David Wasinger (R) says this will be the biggest tourism season Missouri has seen, due to the World Cup in Kansas City and the Route 66 centennial celebration. Lt. Governor Wasinger joined guest host Jennifer Bukowsky live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri":

Buckle up — Jennifer Bukowsky is in the host chair delivering a fire-breathing, no-filter breakdown of today’s biggest wins and worst nonsense. We’re NOT tired of winning at the Supreme Court: the landmark Louisiana v. Callais ruling just gutted racial gerrymandering and put the colorblind Constitution back in charge. Plus, Erin Hawley scores a unanimous 9-0 victory protecting pregnancy centers from a fishing-expedition subpoena. Second Amendment victory lap time too — Michael B. Williams joins live to unpack the massive new DOJ/ATF regulatory overhaul that repeals the pistol-brace rule, the “engaged in the business” trap, and more. Missouri’s leading the way again: Patrick Tuohey explains how our sentencing reforms are now a national model, while Ron Calzone torches the latest log-rolling, subsidy-laden bills coming out of Jefferson City (including that pricey Royals stadium mess). Kevin Jackson brings the heat on the fresh Fauci aide indictment, James Comey’s cryptic “86 47” seashell post, and why the Southern Poverty Law Center just can’t stop manufacturing hate for cash. Jennifer also rips the National Review’s eye-rolling defense of Comey, reacts to Trump’s latest Truth Social posts on Iran’s collapse, and plenty more headlines you won’t hear on the legacy networks. Unapologetic, fast-paced, and 100% Missouri-common-sense.

Jennifer Bukowsky fills in for Gary today with a full lineup of interviews and sharp analysis on the day’s biggest political stories. She is joined by Erin Hawley to respond to a deceptive New York Times report on the Supreme Court, Jesse Vasquez to break down the ongoing redistricting battles ahead of the midterm elections, and James Egan, Republican candidate in Boone County’s only contested race this cycle. Jennifer also covers a range of headline topics, including continued political tensions online, the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, King Charles’ notable gift to President Trump, and the Southern Poverty Law Center’s public defense efforts. In addition, she examines a new survey suggesting that highly educated individuals are more likely to support political violence. All of this and more on today’s episode.

Chaos at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner: a gunman sprints past security with a rifle, Secret Service swarms the ballroom, Trump and Melania are rushed to safety, and the entire glittering event is locked down. Jennifer was just in that same ballroom months ago — she breaks down the terrifying scene, the security nightmares she witnessed firsthand, and why it’s finally time to BUILD THE BALLROOM on White House grounds (Missouri’s own Will Scharf is in charge of the project and a judge is currently blocking it).St. Louis legend Ray Hartmann — founder of the Riverfront Times, 40-year TV fixture, and one-of-a-kind character — was killed in a freak highway crash this week. Jennifer pays tribute and is joined by Scott Faughn to remember him.

Plus:

- The Southern Poverty Law Center is hit with an 11-count federal indictment for wire fraud, false statements to banks, and money laundering — accused of secretly paying $3M+ to informants inside the very hate groups they told donors they were fighting.

- Golden Cabinet updates from D.C. (including Acting AG Todd Blanche right after the WHCD chaos).

- Two huge immigration court wins.

- Criminal docket round-up.

- Fresh scoops from the RNLA policy conference in the nation’s capital.

Boone County’s outdoor tornado sirens were activated four times Friday night, due to the tornado warnings. The county adopted the CommanderOne automated siren system in 2025 and it was activated for the first time Friday night. The new system allows sirens to activate only in areas directly impacted by the NWS’ tornado warning. Boone County Office of Emergency Management (EOM) director Chris Kelley joined hosts Stephanie Bell and Jennifer Bukowsky on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri". He says sirens activate under TWO conditions: tornado warnings issued by the NWS for parts of Boone County and severe thunderstorm warnings with a destructive damage threat tag. The EOM also reminds you that the outdoor sirens are NOT designed to be heard indoors and that you should have multiple ways to receive warnings:

Congressman Eric Burlison joins Jennifer Bukowsky to discuss the growing mystery surrounding 11 scientists and researchers who have turned up dead or gone missing, and why the White House now says it is looking into the pattern. Jennifer also dives into greed, envy, political dirty tricks, voter-fraud absurdity in California, Trump’s “golden cabinet,” and why the Pentagon missed its UFO report deadline. Plus: the criminal docket, the murder of Caltech astrophysicist Carl Grillmair, and a quick look ahead at the week to come.
