Back to EpisodesJennifer Bukowsky Show Ep 168 - Missouri Map Madness, KU’s Slave-State Smear & the RNC Midterm Convention
Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description
Jennifer is back from the first-ever RNC Midterm Convention in Dallas with behind-the-scenes observations, her favorite moments, and the clips you probably didn’t see.
Then we come home to Missouri — where things got completely insane.
KU decided to hype the Border War by portraying Missouri as the villainous slave state of Civil War history. Jennifer digs into what KU’s video got wrong, the history it conveniently left out, and Mizzou Coach Eli Drinkwitz’s response after the Tigers took care of business on the field.
Plus: Missouri Map Madness. A state Supreme Court ruling, an emergency trip to SCOTUS, a federal judge issuing the opposite order, a contempt threat against the Secretary of State — and finally the U.S. Supreme Court stepping in. Jennifer explains what happened, which congressional map Missouri will actually use in November, and what voters will decide next. Also on the show:
*RIP Charlie Kirk, one year after his assassination — including his Missouri connection and the campus visit that never happened.
*25 years after 9/11, a look back at the victims, heroes, and some questionable behavior from politicians at Ground Zero.
*The Missouri Republican state House candidate accused by federal prosecutors of plotting to plant cocaine and Adderall on his political rival.
*New calls to investigate longstanding immigration-fraud allegations involving Rep. Ilhan Omar — and why immigration consequences can operate differently from ordinary criminal statutes of limitation.
*The Golden Cabinet: who had the best week inside the Trump administration?
It’s politics, law, history, Missouri and plenty of things to argue about.
