Brian Smith on the Record

Due to a family emergency on my end, I had to cut my interview with Liz Davenport for MO short. I want to thank her for being willing to sit down with me and for making the effort to connect directly with the community, sharing who she is and what she stands for.

She’s already assured me that she wants to reschedule so we can finish the conversation. I’m looking forward to picking this back up and learning more about her and her vision for the future.

An abortion abolitionist confronts two older pro-choice supporters — one a military veteran, the other willing to step in and de-escalate.

The interaction gets increasingly tense, and at one point the second woman steps between Ryan and the veteran.

How far was too far?

Watch the interaction for yourself and decide what you think.

After repeatedly pivoting during our discussion, Ryan, an abortion ...

UPDATE: I spoke with Michael today while I was at Planned Parenthood. He shared an update on the Food Not Bombs trespassing charges against him and Wolfgang, including information about the upcoming dates in the case.

I’ll be sharing that conversation on Brian Smith on the Record.

What does a Marine veteran bring to the political conversation in Jefferson City?

I sat down with Justin Geiser, Democratic candidate for Missouri House District 31, for a more personal, in-depth conversation about his background, his military service, why he decided to get into politics, and what he says he would bring to Jefferson City.

This is the first in what I hope will be a series of longer-form conversations with political candidates — getting beyond the campaign signs and talking to the people behind them.

Watch the full interview below and hear what Justin Geiser has to say.

Jordan Herrera, Anton, and a female veteran sit down for a conversation that covers their experiences, their perspectives, and what’s happening in Missouri right now.

There’s a lot here, and I’ll let you decide what you take away from it.

I went into this event expecting a memorial centered around Charlie Kirk and 9/11. After reviewing the footage, though, I found myself questioning how much 9/11 was actually discussed.

I put together a video breaking down what was said, what stood out to me, and some of the things I think are worth taking a closer look at. I’d genuinely like to hear what you think after watching.
