"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

⛳️ Bipartisan Charity Golf Match ⛳️ Yarmuth & Meiners prevail as $15,000 goes to charities
⛳️ The Bipartisan Charity Golf Match at Valhalla generated $15,000, split evenly between the WHAS Crusade for Children and Louisville's West End School. Thanks to Senator Rand Paul and Representative John Yarmuth for illustrating that those with nearly polar opposite political views can work together for charity. Businessman/philanthropist Junior Bridgeman leveled the donations so that each charity picked up $7,500. Congratulations to Team Yarmuth/Meiners for closing out the match on #16 with a Yarmuth birdie. 🏆 Peace is possible! 💯 #BipartisanCharityGolf FINAL ⛳️ After a @RepJohnYarmuth birdie on 16, Team Yarmuth/Meiners closes out Team Paul/Bridgeman ⛳️‼️ $7,500 to @CrusadeChildren $2,500 to West End School@RepJohnYarmuth @RandPaul @840WHAS @WHAS11 pic.twitter.com/HaECQL4FKb — Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) July 23, 2021 #Kentucky #charities #Republican #Democrat #bipartisanship If you asked the average person, would a Republican and
Divided America enjoys Trump’s “Blue Collar Boom” – Senator Rand Paul and Rep. John Yarmuth both joined me on 840WHAS to talk Trump
The Roaring 20s are busting out all across the United States. President Donald Trump gave his third State of the Union Address on February 4, 2020 and touted "The Great American Comeback." He touched on incredibly strong economic numbers, historically low unemployment rates, stronger international trade deals, and claims that America is once again respected around the world. Democrats sighed. Republicans cheered. Trump announced that he had promoted 100 year old Charles McGee, a former Tuskegee Airman, as America's latest general in the U.S. Air Force. He also asked Melania Trump to pin the Presidential Medal of Freedom on radio host Rush Limbaugh who was just diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.

Trump rallies for Bevin on election eve 2019
President Donald Trump rallied in Lexington's Rupp Arena on behalf of Governor Matt Bevin on the night before his re-election bid. Trump talked about Bevin's many achievements, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's successes in getting federal judges confirmed, Kentucky's overall progress, University of Kentucky basketball, and many random quips about various national Democrat stars. "Matt Bevin is pro-worker, pro-life, and 100% pro-Second Amendment," Trump said to a rousing response from the audience. As for the chance that Democrat attorney general Andy Beshear could take the governor's seat from Bevin, Trump stated emphatically "You can't let that happen to me." President Trump has made a last-minute rally push Monday night for Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, a strong ally who is facing a tough
Bill Stokes, my brother from another mother
William Albert "Bill" Stokes died last week. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. Seven years ago, he taught me one of the most enlightening, compassionate lessons of my life at a moment when I was way out of my comfort zone. The day after he and I co-hosted a mostly improvisational show in front of an African American audience, I wrote this blog post. It was truly one of the greatest experiences of my life. ----------------- BACK IN BLACK I have always had an affinity for African American people. Their music always moved me more than the bland songs sung by white performers. Their distinctly different clothing choices made me want to be colorful like them instead of rigid and uniform
McConnell confirms his intention to use the nuclear option to confirm SCOTUS nominee Neil Grouch
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell confirms that he is prepared to use the so-called nuclear option, changing traditional rules of the Senate to allow for a simple majority vote to confirm U.S. Supreme Court nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch. In a WHAS radio interview with me, McConnell noted that the longstanding tradition of requiring a supermajority of 60 aye votes was overrun in 2013 by then-majority leader Sen. Harry Reid. Democrats point out that Reid's use of the nuclear option was to advance lower court appointments, not Supreme Court nominees. Here is the entire WHAS interview, which also covers whether superpowers should intervene following Syrian chemical attacks, if GOP in-fighting will wither 2018 election hopes, health care upgrades, tax reform, and
Kellyanne Conway and Terry Meiners: the love is real
On the launch day of the Republican healthcare plan to replace Obamacare, the White House communications office offered me an interview with Kellyanne Conway, Counselor to President Donald Trump. -----Original Message----- From: REDACTED Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2017 10:04 AM To: MEINERS, TERRY A Cc: Vertrees, Ian Subject: Kellyanne on today Hi Terry, We'd like to schedule an interview with Kellyanne Conway on the show this afternoon to discuss Obamacare repeal/place. Please advise if this is possible. Thank you, REDACTED Director of Radio White House Communications 202-REDACTED ----------------- I suppose our show was chosen to counter Kentucky Senator Rand Paul's negative response to the plan his party was trying to advance. It was a spirited conversation to put it mildly. But it wasn't mild. Conway, after being combative toward Meiners: "I don't feel

Girls Just Wanna Have Guns, Puns, and Nuns
Ready for a presidential race? The women of 2016 are firing broadsides now. While Hillary Clinton was speaking to Methodists in Louisville, Sarah Palin spoke to NRA convention delegates in Indianapolis on April 26, 2014 and she was armed with one-liners. The newsmaker was her declaration that if she were president "waterboarding is how we would baptize terrorists." Palin's critics pounced before she completed her remarks. Hillary Clinton's tame remarks in Louisville drew notice only because she had been virtually silent on personal religion identification since her presidential run in 2008. ABC US News | ABC Business News Populist middle class champion and corporation hate machine Sen. Elizabeth Warren continues to deny that she's running for president. So it's obvious that she is.
