PulaskiTalks! | South-Central Missouri LIVE!
Well, the plan was to bring you tonight's Pulaski County Republican Club meeting live. The plan did not survive contact with the building's WiFi. As the great philosophers of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" might put it, we were briefly and profoundly unhappy about a signal that stubbornly refused to exist.
So we did what you do when the stream's not happening: we hit record and got the whole thing the old-fashioned way. Every bit of it. Rep. Bishop Davidson on Amendment 5, the income-tax question, the room, the works.
A fair warning before you press play: the audio is rougher than we'd like. We weren't able to get a lavalier mic on the speaker, so you'll have to lean in a bit. Our apologies. The words are all there, just not in the studio quality we'd prefer to hand you.
The full, unedited recording is up now. Nothing trimmed, nothing skipped, all of it for you to watch and judge for yourself:

Take car, go to Mum's, have a nice cold pint, and give it a watch.
Thanks for your patience, and for putting up with the sound. Worth it, we think.
