Hancock and Kelley are the odd couple of St. Louis politics. Hancock, a Republican, and Kelley, a Democrat, are political consultants who used to lob grenades at each other when they were executive directors of their political parties. But there was no animosity when they joust on-air. No yelling. No personal attacks. No name-calling.
While they disagree on most everything political, they have become friends. They counter each other calmly, often with humor. Off the air, they give each other personal advice, attend each other's office parties, go to baseball games together.
It was another Sunday morning of sometimes heated but always civil political debate on Hancock and Kelley for Sunday, Sept. 29, 2024.
Republican consultant John Hancock and Democratic consultant Michael Kelley discuss the following topics:A migrant living illegally in St. Peters and driving without a license is accused of killing a St. Louis police officer. … The embattled chief of the St. Louis City Jail has been on leave for more than 10 days, but city officials won't say why or for how long. … Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris visits the U.S. southern border in Arizona. Does it help or hurt her campaign? … A new report on the July attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump paints a wretched picture of the U.S. Secret Service. … Our quote of the week is from the former superintendent of St. Louis Public Schools, fired after just one year on the job.
