Abortion Isn’t The Dem’s Savior
Our coverage of the KET pre-election coverage continues. This time we will hear from mainly the Democrats on the panel and realize that they are incompetent and ignoring the polling data before them.
The Political Experts Are Not Very Bright
KET’s Pre-election night coverage shows us why the media and the political class are so caught off guard and don’t know how to explain why “Liberty” Republicans are winning despite The Establishments massive spending advantage.
What Is The Establishment To Do Next?
Two things sometimes happen after an Establishment incumbent loses. People pretend they ran a “highroad” campaign to make themselves feel better about losing, and the incumbent has a mask off moment. We are seeing both of these coming out of the Killian Timoney camp. I discuss what the Establishment may do moving forward to maintain power in Kentucky.
The Establishment Made A Bad Call On HD 91
I continue to go over election results. I spend some time talking about HD 91, and how the Establishment made a big mistake on it.
A Great Night For Conservatism
We take a birds eye view on the election results from the races last night.
Man Reportedly Yells “Allahu Akbar” After Shooting In Louisville
A shooting incident in Louisville leaves us asking a lot of questions. Questions that the media isn’t even trying to get answers to. Austin Horn writes an article going over what is a “Liberty Republican”. Finally, I give a hot take on why I don’t want high voter turnout.
Sales Tax On Your Steak?
I take a look at the PGA incident and see who really is at fault. A Democrat Rep is disqualified from ballot. A possible dangerous moment is coming where all Kentucky restaurants may have to start charging an additional 3% sales tax. Lt. Gov Coleman makes a dumb statement on school choice.

Kelcey Rock On HD 19 Race
Boone County Establishment Republicans are really mad at the County Party for sending out a mailer defending the Republican Party platform. Kelcey Rock joins me to talk about HD 19’s race. I finish up looking at races against conservative incumbents.
What A Horrible Line Up Of Candidates
We continue our discussion of the Establishment overreaching themselves by taking a look at some of the incumbents they are trying to take down. One thing seems clear though, they really had a hard time finding good people to run.
Smells Like Desperation
Sen. Meredith says he put his chairmanship on the line for prolife causes. I’ll explain how we know this is just another Senator Meredith lie. The Establishment is getting desperate to hold onto to their people. We will look at four races where they are trying to protect their people and see how it is not going very well.
What Is A “Normal Republican”
Felicia Rabourn gets called a dog killer, I’ll explain why this is a dumb take. Uniparty members Andy Barr and Michael Adams give us a preview of what their election arguments in the future might be. The Kentucky Lantern wrongly proclaims what is a “Normal Republican”. JCPS Board Member writes letter to whining staff members.
*I was little under the weather recording this show, so please forgive the low voice.*
Queer KY Gets Sponsored On Your Dime
Leftist decide JCPS can do no wrong as they defend send their HR team to Puerto Rico. Queer KY is getting sponsored by your tax dollars. Timoney makes a big mistake.
LGBTQ Mafia Eats Its Own
JCPS yell about needing more but has over 1,000 administrators with many earning over $100K a year. The LGBTQ mob is mad at the first Transgender elected person in Kentucky for not shrieking more at Republican lawmakers. The Kentucky Democrat Party and the Florida Democrat Party are teaming to become relevant in their state again.
Leftist Policies Failing In KY Cities
Tanya Fogle says the body cam footage of her acting like an idiot is doctored. Lexington residents are asking the state to step in and bail them out from the repercussions of the decision made by Lexington’s horrible leadership. JCPS responds to it’s start time problems by making life miserable for everyone. JCPS is also sending HR to Puerto Rico in order to recruit new teachers. Finally, I go over a funny campaign ad, and explain why negative campaigns are necessary.
KY Senate Leadership Needs To Go
I answer a listener question regarding the hybrid and EV vehicle tax. Senate Leadership is getting more and more desperate in their attempt to hold onto power, and its creating some disgusting behavior. I answer the question of what is worse a bear or a human.
Louisville Juneteenth Festival Too Inclusive?
I respond to a comment on my social media. A Juneteenth festival in Louisville has to apologize after putting out a event announcement that was too inclusive. UK has an anti-Israel protest where they push for the defeat of Joe Biden. Finally, I’ll go over another lying mailer we see coming out of one campaign.
Police Vs. Politicians
On today’s show we have not one, but two interactions that politicians had with police. One with council woman Tonya Fogle out of Lexington, KY who shows us how to ensure you get arrested. The other with Ed Massey out of Northern Kentucky.
Who To Vote For In HD 29?
Today I take a good hard look at the candidates running in House District 29. I’ll show you how to research who you should support in any race, as we decide who we think a person should support in House District 29. A new PAC is running ads targeting those who took money from the JCPS teacher’s union.
KY Destroys An Entire Industry
I take a look at the race in House District 29. A state House race that has 6 people running in it. Tony Florence from KY Smoke Free Association and the KY Hemp Association to talk about the effects of HB11 and the fight against it.
Taxpayer Sponsored Witchcraft?
Clark County Tourism came under scrutiny when it spread an event that many considered to be promoting witchcraft. The business in questions promises that it is not practicing witchcraft, a claim that deserves some scrutiny. Sen. Rand Paul calls out Ukraine funding.
Leftist Worry About ALPR Cameras and Abortion
I take a second to respond to arguments defending tax payer funded drag shows. I discuss why House District 2’s race is an interesting one. Finally, the Herald-Leader publishes a crazy person’s op-ed.
What’s Going On In House District 91?
Public schools across the state are announcing they need to make cuts, but something isn’t adding up. In the House District 91 race you have incumbent Bill Wesley facing off against an opponent who is enjoying an odd amount of support for democrat donor. I’ll go over what happening in that race.
You Pay For A Drag Show!
Property tax bills are increasing all over Kentucky. Taxing this way is immoral and wrong, and should be stopped. Morehead Kentucky has a drag show attended by children that your tax dollars funded. Establishment Reps admit that Kentucky may never reach a 0% income tax.
Two-Faced Timoney Sends Lying Mailer
The 2024 primaries are going to be incredibly important to the future of the Kentucky House, and I’ll go over why. Rep. Killian Timoney has resorted to just outright misrepresentation of his voting record. A viral social media post says a women was almost the victim of sex trafficking in Kentucky. I’ll go over just ho ridiculous this claim is.
A "NO" Vote For Stone
A viewer ask me how I define Establishment vs not, and how to identify the two. Andy Stone, a House candidate for district 50 gives of the perfect example of what to look for.
DEI Will Continue At KY Colleges
Beshar signs HB191, and now we will hear claims from legislatures that they have addressed DEI in KY even though it is alive and well. The Chamber of Commerce has released its endorsements. I’ll go over why you shouldn’t trust them. Cameron has a new PAC.
The CON Hearing. The Good, The Bad, The Ugly – Deuce
SB6 failed but the Legislature did do something in response to the AG’s opinion on racial admissions practices surrounding Kentucky colleges. I go into another round of talking about the good, the bad, and the ugly that occurred this legislative session.
Libs Of TikTok Covers KY
Taxation is theft, but some people don’t want to accept that. Libs of TikTok posts a video from a Kentucky mom. Finally, corrupt entities are dumping big bucks in Kentucky primaries.
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly PT.1
With session over, I go through a recap of our legislative session spelling out the good that happened, the bad that happened, and what got ugly.
Of Course Beshear Doesn’t Like The 1A
HB 509 is getting a lot of attention. What does it do? I’ll cover that today. Also, the coverage of the bill shows a lot of the issues going on with our media establishment as they act shocked that Beshear doesn’t respect the 1st Amendment.
No Bus For You
I got something wrong and I want to set the record straight. JCPS has a last minute board meeting that cuts bussing to thousands of students. Local media outlets run stories which leave me scratching my head.
The Teacher’s Unions Don’t Trust You
Politicians are horrible vehicles to push pro-life messaging. AFT makes a post that sends a clear message on why schools are failing. Beshear vetoes HB5. Westerfield pushes gun control on Old National Bank Shooting anniversary.
A Tiff on the West End TIF
The GA commits another $100 million to support the Ford Battery Plant. There is a tiff on the West End TIF. Beshear shows he doesn’t understand what emergency spending actually means. We go through a few more of the Governor’s vetoes.
Strange New Respect
I answer a listener question regarding campaign surveys. Outgoing state Senator Whitney Westerfield is getting a strange new respect from the media. HB509 is making the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Beshear vetoes a good number of bills.
Still In Court
The carrot and stick system of the Uni-party is on full display this primary. The Southern Poverty Law Center makes a hefty accusation that the Herald-Leader can not confirm but writes an article about anyway. Finally, I give an update on my court case.
The Primaries Are Heating Up
Eights years ago, Republicans in the House voted for less spending and sponsored more conservative legislation. This fact points to just why the Republican primaries matters so much. The JCPS teacher’s union is throwing big money behind liberal Republicans this cycle.
City Employee Paid Over 300k A Year
Recent storm damage makes it clear why KY needs to have a good savings policy at the state level. VisitLex is massively over paying employees, leading to the question of “What does VisitLex do anyway?”. Beshear says we are starving schools from money, but recent data suggests the opposite.
$4.3 Million To A Rap School
Beshear is buying favor with politicians across the country using his PAC. I continue looking at the one-time spending package and we discuss a few line items that raises the eyebrows.
Best Use Of Money?
I start digging into HB1, a one-time spending bill full of questionable spending. Today I focus on $50 million going to Louisville for a variety of projects and $10 million going to a housing project in Lexington.
A Session For No One
Many media outlets get a SB2 amendment wrong because of tricks played by leadership in the house that go far outside the norm. I take a look at the budget and a few other issues that point to how this legislative session made everyone mad.
Start The Veto Period
As the legislative session veto period starts, I take a quick look at a few things that made it across the line in the final days.
A Right Not To Get Sick?
A bill to ban vaccine mandates hits the Senate Floor, and all kinds of cray arguments against the bill are thrown out there. I also go over a few other bills of note that have passed so far this year.
KY House Ignores Constitution To Defend Porn
On Monday, the most significant moment so far this legislative session played out in the KY House. Republican Leadership in the house decide to ignore key parts of the Kentucky Constitution in order to stop a bill from passing. The bill in question would have required the porn industry to take greater steps to ensure their content doesn’t get delivered to minors. I go over what happened, and why it is so important.
Legislation To Pay Attention To
There is just 4 days left of this year’s legislative session, and there are a lot of bills moving. In today’s show I go over bills that have passed at least one chamber. These bills need our attention if we want to either stop, or get them over the finish line.
Shoving Rainbows Down Kid’s Throats
In today’s show I go over a few pieces of legislation and dig into some arguments surrounding HB 5. Local schools and libraries continue to use our tax dollars to shove LGBTQ ideology down kid’s throats. #Kentucky #KYGA24 #Politics
