Mike Bloomberg was boot stomped in his first presidential debate appearance. Elizabeth Warren crushed Bloomberg on his racist stop-and-frisk policies that targeted minorities, his sexist verbal blasts of women, and his refusal to release former workers from nondisclosure agreements. Bloomberg could do little more than smirk. He just stood there with a Grinch sneer, thinking of how he'd exact revenge later. A record 20 million viewers saw a cranky old billionaire who apparently had never heard a discouraging word. Rinse and repeat for future debates because stop-and-frisk is an unforgivable racist policy that a newly elected NYC Mayor Bloomberg chose to enhance instead of eradicate. Bloomberg has spent more than $460 million of his own money on campaign expenses and is expected to

The protest was led by Black Lives Matter activist Chanelle Helms who screams the f-word throughout the two-hour late evening protest. Helms is known for her screed urging white people to give up their homes to black families as a form of reparation for slavery. Mayor Fischer responded to Governor Bevin the next morning
July voices: McConnell, Bevin, Yarmuth, Matt Jones, Damion Lee, Mayor Fischer, Daniel Cameron, and American hero Jimmy Green
As "The Squad" thrills extreme left-wingers, torches traditional liberals, and irks right wingers, a prominent liberal media voice is trying to slow the roll of the Four Horsewomen of Wokeback Mountain. READ MAUREEN DOWD In the midst of political upheaval over The Squad, the president's GO BACK tweets, and racist Trump crowd chants, we've had a very strong 840WHAS interview roster over the past 10 days. These voices of prominent Kentuckians offer perspectives from different vantage points. Thanks to the Senate majority leader, the Governor of Kentucky, Kentucky's 3rd district congressman, the mayor of Louisville, plus a prominent media host, former UofL basketball player, and a former football player hoping to become Kentucky's next attorney general.

Matt Bevin on shrinking budgets, weak general assembly output, opponents, and the Jeff Walz Twitter beef
📻 Here's Governor Matt Bevin on why Republicans majorities can't snowplow state legislation, the subpoena for lists of JCPS "sickout" teachers, if an unfocused Coach Jeff Walz caused his Louisville women's team to lose to UConn, budget cutting advice for the Louisville mayor, the Adam Edelen jingle taunt, Gill Holland's MIA tax returns, and the governor's contention that retirees ❤️ higher taxes, 🎙️ LISTEN tinyurl.com/y3el2kto Naturally, Governor Bevin's comments about Jeff Walz created a firestorm, hitting most national media outlets. ZING!@GovMattBevin says if @CoachJeffWalz paid more attention to the basketball court than him the @UofLWBB would have won. Says Walz was “out coached.” #KYGov— Philmonger (@phillipmbailey) April 10, 2019 Here is @GovMattBevin's full comments about @CoachJeffWalz on @terrymeiners show
Financial experts: here’s how to save $300+ million on KFC Yum Center payments. Oh, and where is that other $29 million?
In a radio chat this week, I asked Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer about an expert's plan that could save $300 million paying off the KFC Yum Center ($10m per year). The mayor seemed underwhelmed. The Metro Council is considering tripling the local tax on insurance premiums. Taxpayers are incensed that the mayor and council aren't first considering budget cuts. Mayor Fischer and I also discussed the odd logic of paying criminals to curtail crime without LMPD guidance, JCPS sickouts, the Passport Health meltdown, and more. 🎙️ AUDIO Below are the financial plan details submitted by businessman Denis Frankenberger and affirmed by former attorney general Chris Gorman and other financial experts who wish to remain anonymous.

Larry & Terry: just shooting the breeze
Bisig Impact Group co-owner Larry Bisig invited me to his advertising/marketing company for a chat on camera. Cool. We talked about my radio history, growing up with discipline, the last days of Ron Clay, my evolving tolerance, how to interview big ego people, dealing with violent students, and drunk college buddies trying to ruin my job. Good talk, L Man. Thanks for having me.
Angela Leet launches mayoral campaign, rips Fischer, says she did not vote for Trump
Metro Louisville council member Angela Leet is running for Louisville mayor. We spoke on the radio shortly after her announcement, covering topics from Greg Fischer's current body of work, murderous 20-year-olds, city infrastructure, prayer patrols, LGBTQ rights, bike lanes, Dan Johnson's future, and rising Yum Center debt. AUDIO: This nugget helps Leet avoid the type of derision faced by Sec. of State Alison Grimes, who laughingly avoided answering the CJ's question of whether she had voted for Barack Obama. When asked directly, @CWAngelaLeet told @terrymeiners that she didn't vote for #Trump. “I won’t attack people on Twitter."cc: @AlisonForKY— Phillip M. Bailey (@phillipmbailey) October 4, 2017
The Pols Are Open
Greg Fischer, John Yarmuth, and Matt Bevin were on my radio show back-to-back-to-back today. The mayor and congressmen, both Democrats, discussed a variety of issues. The Republican governor had a significantly different strategy to solve societal problems. AUDIO: Governor Matt Bevin on attacking the pension shortfall, bourbon tariffs, the Mike Pence visit, universal health care, handling haters on Twitter, and imitating Rambo at the Kentucky Speedway. Now here is Rep. John Yarmuth on the Donald Trump Jr email chain with a Russian lawyer, Obamacare, media pursuit of Russia election interference, and renewed Democrat interest in universal health care. Finally, here's Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer on his six point plan to reduce violence.
