The Duane Lester Show

Duane Lester is a seasoned grassroots organizer, political strategist, and communicator who’s spent nearly 20 years fighting for individual liberty, limited government, and a freer Missouri. A former U.S. Navy journalist, Duane launched All American Blogger in 2007, earning national recognition for his sharp political commentary and principled defense of free markets. In 2012, he was awarded the inaugural Breitbart Blogger Award by The Heritage Foundation and Franklin Center. He later founded The Missouri Torch, a news outlet that became a major force in Missouri politics.

Duane spent nearly a decade with Americans for Prosperity, training thousands of activists, organizing ground games across the country, and helping shape the freedom movement from the grassroots up. Today, he brings that same insight, fire, and plainspoken clarity to the airwaves — breaking down politics without the spin and giving Missourians the tools to think critically, challenge bad ideas, and protect their freedoms.

He lives in northwest Missouri with his wife and nine kids and somehow still finds time to read.
