John Yarmuth jumped on the radio with me today to discuss last night's tumultuous protest outside the home of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. We also talked about what to do with modified weapons that fire 100 rounds in a few seconds, the perils of doxxing, and the uproar over McConnell fanboys pawing all over a cardboard cutout of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Yarmuth said Republicans are fearful of acting on gun legislation because they would likely pick up primary opponents

Yarmuth reported that the housing situation was clean and lightly inhabited, a scenario he suspected had been tidied up before the arrival of the congressional delegation. Yarmuth also talked about the shocking specter of debating Democrats trashing Barack Obama for not being "woke" enough during his 8 years in the presidency. Many of the current presidential hopefuls are going to extreme measures

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. Listen if you are so inclined Also does anyone have a good Pike County dinner recommendation? https://t.co/FCpVfRtZwF— Matt Jones (@KySportsRadio) July 16, 2019 Journalist Al Cross says Matt Jones has an unfair advantage with his multiple media platforms, but that Jones "is not a journalist, he's an entertainer." In the 840WHAS Radio interview, Jones talked of
It’s been one year since John Schnatter’s n-word destroyed his legacy. He has one path to public redemption.
One year ago, "Papa John" Schnatter contacted me to interview him on the radio. Schnatter's glorious life was unraveling after intense blowback from the pizza magnate's use of the n-word on a training call.

Instead of reversing the narrative, our 28 minute chat only solidified the image that Papa John wasn't ready to sincerely apologize. He said that was coerced into saying the n-word by people who were out to get him banished. But it was Schnatter who was at fault. All he needed to do was literally say "n-word" instead of saying the actual word. But he chose to use the nuclear bomb
