Kentucky Politics Weekly

Jared and Abby are reporting to us live from the F1 race in Las Vegas, so it's an unusual, Saturday morning recording for KPW! We've got new KY Democratic House Leadership, Bearcat on Bearcat legal attacks, the departure of Matt Gaetz, and we ask the question, "Can an emu really escape if it's already feral?"

There's good news and bad news but KPW has it all. We've for JCPS issues, leadership elections, Trump appointments, and a fugitive wallaby.

The 2024 elections are over, DJT is back, and KPW have thoughts. Lots of lessons learned, unlearned, and relearned. So listen up for politics, asteroids, and William Wallace monkeys on the post-election KPW

The United States isn't the only country holding elections this time of year. KPW's official foreign correspondent Jason Emert joins the show to talk about his work as an election observer in Georgia (the Tbilisi one, not the Atlanta one). The crew also rounds out the election and talk about Andy Beshear's proposal to eliminate the electoral college.

It's that time again! KPW is here with your full, 19 Senate race and 100 State House race-by-race breakdown of the election. There's not as many competitive races as there were in the primary but that doesn't mean there aren't some interesting ones. Also a positive, we kept is under 2 hours!

We're a little over a week before the Presidential election and things are only getting crazier. KPW's got Arnold Palmer's manhood, Nazis, questionable science, and Tres and Jared are aggrieved by NFL refereeing.

Jared and Abby are on set, so we're remote this week but that doesn't stop the news. An organ donation scandal, a clan endorsement, a new McConnell book, and chili ice cream lead the headlines.

KPW is back from a week's hiatus and there's lots to get to. The scandal list long this week with LMPD, the Metro Council. and Juvenile Justice leading the way. Also, there's the aftermath of hurricanes and a discussion of the Kentucky Right to Life endorsement list.

Need your carpet cleaned? We've got a recommendation. Can't afford airfare to Turkey? We'll tell you how to get there. Want to make sense of dumb things politicians say? We'll try to help, but no promises.

KPW come to you this week from Bespoken Bourbon at Greyline Station in Lexington. We have a megacast of politicians behaving badly, including posing the question "How do you get banned from a strip club?" Also, praise for Rand Paul, the animal coalition of the willing, and a discussion with Bespoken CEO Scott Savage about their bourbon and the legal paperwork involved in building a distillery from the ground up.
