Pro-Hamas college encampments…comedy or dramady?
A few recent radio interviews have examined the issue of pro-Palestine (aka pro-Hamas) encampments on college campuses. 1) Are the majority of participants just protest puppets playing the role of useful idiots? Do the majority of these kids know why they are protesting? pic.twitter.com/cT4uHxQ0Sb — Gabby Klein (@GabbyKlein1) May 3, 2024 2) "The opposition (is) so disgusting." This college protester compares herself to civil rights leaders who were shot in the 1960s. After listening to this video, I honestly don't think our country can survive this young generation. What are your thoughts? pic.twitter.com/YDQ1nXqewB — Vince Langman (@LangmanVince) May 3, 2024 3) "This isn't ending until our demands our met...we are paying your paycheck so it's your responsibility to figure it out."

The Terry Talk: Senator Mitch McConnell one-to-one on domestic and global events
"This is the most dangerous time since the fall of the Berlin Wall." Here is my wide ranging conversation with Senator Mitch McConnell, the longest-serving Senate Party Leader in American history (4/1/24) 840WHAS audio 🗣 https://tinyurl.com/ms668czr I've appreciated Senator McConnell's annual visits for one-on-one conversations. We usually make national news for various statements he makes on my show. One guy that Senator McConnell can't be persuaded to mention is the fellow pictured below. Senator McConnell wouldn't say much in our interview when I asked why fellow Senator Rand Paul has been trashing him as an out-of-touch Liberal sympathizer. Senator Paul recently claimed on Fox News that if McConnell was up for reelection today that he would lose to Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear. #Kentucky #USsenate #globalpowers #economy

A sit down with Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell
I always enjoy a face-to-face chat with political leaders and other newsmakers. There is a comfort level in sitting across the table from an interview subject. Watching their body language, eye contact, and hand gestures adds extra dimensions that a telephone chat cannot provide. LISTEN TO TERRY MEINERS AND MITCH McCONNELL Mitch McConnell is the longest serving U.S. Senate leader and longest serving U.S. senator in Kentucky history. We've done a ton of phone interviews during his 38 years in office. Studio visits produce better content. Arriving 15 minutes early at WHAS' iHeart studios, Senator McConnell and I were able to talk about a few things off air before we opened the mics. He laughed when I asked if "Cocaine Mitch" was planning
YOU GOT CHEESED 🧀 Packers thump Vikings to hang onto playoff hopes
The Green Bay Packers were all but dead a month ago but their January 1st thumping of division leading Minnesota injected new life into Packerland. If Green Bay can beat the Detroit Lions in the final regular season game, an uncharacteristic 9-8 record will earn the Packers a playoff berth. If the Packers lose to Detroit, I don't expect that we'll see Aaron Rodgers play another NFL game. Here are his postgame comments. The most telling are his final thoughts. This boy is all about head trips and spiritual influences in his real life.
