A son of a cop and sheet metal worker from the southside of St. Louis... Nick Kimble is the current Missouri House Rep for the 82nd District. Nick talks about his blue collar roots and his approach to Jeff City in an attempt to operate as a more pragmatic D from a city many see as dying to push it's Progressive boundaries. In a supermajority Republican state that leans to the far right side of the "Red-Team" spectrum, his beliefs and approach try to balance focusing on his constituents while dealing with a largely uncompromising majority party.

John O'Leary is simply an incredible human. Full stop... end of story. With his personal journey of tragedy, recovery, and determination now showing on the big screen - "Soul On Fire" - John's inspirational story and even greater character are on full display during our conversation. I was honored to be able to sit down and talk with John about the layers of reality that aren't super obvious, but are baked into his story, the film, and his life here in St. Louis. Our conversation is equal parts behind the scenes, family insights, south city slang, and a unique love letter to the 314. Go see the movie and "wash it down" with a cold Busch Beer!!!

Mallory Rusch is a true fighter. This south side, self-proclaimed Christian, talks about her path, her focus, her role at Empower Missouri, and so much more. We navigate through the three main pillars of Empower Missouri, those being: Housing, Food, and Community Justice. Taking on traditional conservative principles that have historically ignored real solutions to those main issues, compounded by taking up the fight in MAGA Missouri via the hyper-partisan'd #MOLEG, Mallory is the real deal.

Everyone wants a Dr. who loves the Beatles. Meet Dr. Ed Weisbart!!!

This Chicago native spent his early working days growing a family practice that helped form his viewpoint on healthcare in America, and resulted in a fight he continues to this day.

Dr. Ed Weisbart is the national board secretary and MO chapter chair of Physicians for a National Health Program, a non-profit non-partisan organization of more than 25,000 physicians and other health care advocates in support of a publicly financed, nonprofit, single-payer national health insurance program that would fully cover medical care for all Americans.

This is one of the most important conversations I have personally had on the subject. Having lost my entire childhood family to a multitude of different failures in our healthcare system, Dr. Weisbart helps present a glass-half-full outlook on what is transpiring, the wins over institutional for-profit healthcare providers, and implies we are closer than we think to a true healthcare for all landscape. #universalhealthcare #healthcare #chicago #thebeatles #edweisbart #jbanderson #singlepayer #insurance

Ryan Sheridan for Congress. Running against "Wallstreet Wagner," as he likes to refer to the Missouri 2nd District incumbent Representative Ann Wagner, Ryan talks about why he is running, why he is different than Ann, and what he is going to focus on. Ryan opens up about wanting to address the elephant in the room with his own party, that being growing wealth inequality, the wage gap, and more affordable housing that doesn't simply rely upon lower rates and market forces. We focus on a few key areas of his overall platform, touching on the economy, "America First," accountability/term-limits, and "MAHA" (which is soon going to be rebranded in order to not convolute the real focus on healthier foods and activities, vs. debatable science at best). I challenge him on the role character should play from our top leaders, the language that is currently being used in a divisive manner, the use of Meme's to rally the base, and whether or not the President and his family should be blatantly cashing in on the office and their access... especially after Nancy's portfolio, and Hunter's use of his name. Be sure to follow his pages and keep up on his run for office against a virtually absent career fundraiser at this point... and I can say that because I am a Missouri 2 resident and voter. #politics #missouri2 #republican #accountability #RyanSheridanForMO #kirkwood #economy #healthcare #taylorSwift
