In hour 1 of The Mark Reardon Show, Mark is joined by John Reeves, appellate specialist, former Assistant Missouri Attorney General, and civil law attorney with Reeves Law LLC in Clayton, to discuss the latest dramatic developments in the legal battle over Missouri's congressional map. John details the U.S. Supreme Court's decision blocking the new GOP-drawn map and reverting the state to the 2022 district lines, the procedural interplay between state and federal court orders, and the resolution of the Missouri Supreme Court's contempt hearing involving Secretary of State Denny Hoskins. Mark is then joined by Peter Savodnik, Senior Editor for The Free Press, to reflect on the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk's assassination and examine how the event has impacted American political discourse. Peter discusses the fracturing within the American right, the rise of conspiracy theories and internal factionalism, and how the political landscape has shifted over the past year. The two also analyze the dynamics shaping the upcoming midterm elections, including the GOP Midterm Convention in Dallas, Texas, shifting voter motivations, and the broader political climate leading up to the election.
