Gov Matt Bevin on marijuana, sports betting, happy dancing Dems, and why he’s still the best person to be governor in Ky
📻 Here's Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin on the phone with me. It's our annual year-end summation interview wrapped up with a Christmas message for all. His staff promised me 20 minutes on the phone but the governor got rolling and we went a full half hour. Of course, Matt Bevin was extremely frustrated after this week's aimless special session, plus he sustained a recent unanimous rejection by the Kentucky Supreme Court on the pension issue.

Last week, Kentucky's John Calipari launched a not-very-subtle slam at Louisville's Rick Pitino, saying that coaches know about scandalous behavior when it happens on campus. Louisville is stewing in a sex scandal related to prostitutes brought into its basketball dorm. The NCAA is expected to make its final ruling soon. Calipari's notorious vacated Final Fours at UMass and Memphis were rooted in off-campus misdeeds by players. After Calipari's radio rant last week with Mike Lupica, Pitino returned fire this week on my radio show. AUDIO: Pitino also commented on Governor Matt Bevin's dismissal
