Many parodied the 2018 radio commercials advertising U.S. Senate candidate Mike Braun, who went on to win after shouting I'M MIKE BRAUN in every ad. Today I had a wide-ranging conversation with Senator Mike Braun, elected last fall in Indiana over Democrat incumbent Joe Donnelly. The Jasper native walked me through his early struggles and eventual professional success selling truck parts like Chris Farley's character in the film Tommy Boy. Once we segued into political issues, Senator Braun was quite candid in our WHAS Radio interview. We talked about evolving attitudes in the usually untouchable area of gun rights. Braun is staunchly 2A but not blind to America's demands for extended background checks and red flag laws. Braun also claims that

Matt Jones bounced from TV until he decides whether he’ll run for senate
Lexington's WLEX-TV pulled Ky Sports Radio founder Matt Jones from his nightly TV show called Hey Kentucky. Jones suggested in an interview with me that political foes pushed the TV station to bench Jones or risk the loss of commercial revenue from PACs aiming to support other Democrats in the 2020 senate race. I did an interview with @terrymeiners about the @hey_kentucky situation.

I got Moxie Talked!
Terry Minors Ver 16 -Legacy Master- 6-4-2019 TRT105 from MOXIETALK with KIRT JACOBS on Vimeo. Thanks to Kirt Jacobs for a comfortable chat about me, my life, and my career. I prefer asking questions of others but Kirt made this a pleasant experience. We taped it 7 months ago so I have very little memory of what was said but whatever it was...I said it with 100% sincerity. Thanks for watching. The fact that my last name is misspelled on the Vimeo makes me even happier. That's my life. Never get caught up in the little things, baby.

Mitch McConnell on Bevin’s tight primary win, impeachment value for GOP, Trump vs Pelosi, and vaping teens
After a surprisingly close primary win for Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin, I asked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell if he would offer support for Bevin's re-election in the November general election. McConnell and Bevin have a complicated relationship stemming back to Bevin's campaign to unseat McConnell in 2014. The McConnell team labeled their opponent Bailout Bevin, calling him a con man and liar. Today on WHAS Radio, Senator McConnell promised to fully support Bevin's re-election. Kentucky's senior senator also touted attorney general candidate Daniel Cameron, a former McConnell staffer. Kentucky has not had a Republican attorney general since the 1940s. đź“» @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell on helping @GovMattBevin win in November, acrimony between @realDonaldTrump & @SpeakerPelosi, value of impeachment for @GOP, and raising cigs
