Stereotyping regions like Missouri as uniformly conservative is unfair and inaccurate.

But then also, too, I think the really important point, even beyond that, is that it's easy to stereotype places. Like, you'd see Missouri and just be like, yeah, it's a red state. And you just write off... All of it. And that's not fair to the people in... I mean, like, Columbia is the city that I have the most exposure to, but I spend a lot of time in various cities around. Even, like, Springfield is a very conservative city, but there are a ton of really cool people who live there. And in the same way that I feel bad that I say, fuck Fresno, because my dad's family's from there and I don't like that city, there are a ton of great people there. And there's a ton of people who aren't the character of Springfield, Missouri, who live in Springfield. And I think we do a disservice to a lot of regions of the country.

The Missouri sovereignty resolution failed because it combined Tenth Amendment claims with anti-abortion language.

My home state, Missouri. This one's weird. Their version, H.R. 212, was a little bit rangy. Quote, it declares Missouri's sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment and urges the United States Congress to reject the passage of Federal Freedom of Choice Act, which prohibits regulations on abortion. So they tried to... So in a double whammy, they were like, the law is the law, but at the same time, please don't make any more laws. About abortion, please. They tried to Frankenstein's monster, the Tenth Amendment, and abortion into this H.R. 212. That sounds very Missourian to do. This bill was deemed unpassable in the Missouri House. Even Missouri was like, whoa, guys. Well, because it covered too much. It was like, we can't get a consensus on this.
