Senator McConnell began our conversation discussing limiting terrorist activities in the US by limiting immigration and increasing vetting requirements after the incident in New York City yesterday. He also talked about tax reform, its goals, and the impact of over-regulating the economy. The Senator also touched on the recent judicial nomination blitz, Tom Jurich and the changes going on at the University of Louisville, the future of coal, the collapse of Obamacare, and the goals of the government for the rest of 2017.

Old Joe saved up his thoughts on Slick Rick, Coach Cal, and the win over UT for a few days and now he is unloading them all.

Congressman John Yarmuth started the conversation discussing the possible terrorist incident in New York City, soft targets, and the lack of really good options to prevent attacks like this in the future. He also talked about the opening of the enrollment period at Healthcare.gov, how the current administration has attempted to kill these health plans, and the end of Kynect.

The University of Louisville’s former Head Men’s Basketball Coach Rick Pitino talked about Greg Postel and the Board of Trustees’ lack of connection to athletics, who is really making the push to get rid of Tom Jurich, and the damage that is being done to the athletic department as a whole. He also talked about the “rush to judgement” to clean house before the facts of the FBI investigation have been revealed, his lack of support from the Board, his emphasis on compliance to his coaching staff, his message to his players, and so much more.

Dr. Ricky L. Jones discusses his “lack of respect” for the authority of the current leadership of the University of Louisville and why he feels this way, including the way the Board of Trustees was appointment and the closed search for a permanent president. He also talked about the University’s change in opinion where Tom Jurich is concerned, “draining the swamp,” and the sponsorship of the Kentucky Derby.

Old Joe called to tell us all about the good and classy Cat fans singin’ happy songs while Loserville burns. Said he can’t wait for the next big U of Smell scandal. And don’t you worry about Cal ever getting caught. He is protected by churches.

Attorney General of Kentucky Andy Beshear discussed how to avoid scams and catching scam artists, former U of L President James Ramsey’s computer and documents missing from it, a lawsuit his office filed against the federal government over healthcare in the Commonwealth, the Governor’s budget, and the pension situation in the Commonwealth and the use of expanded gaming or marijuana to help the problem.

Congressman John Yarmuth talked about the site of the new VA Hospital. He discussed how it was chosen, whether or not the VA staff will be centralized there, and how to acquire the funding that still needs to be obtained for the project.

Old Joe called and said I’m the next to get hired and he couldn’t be happier about what is going on at U of Smell. He even laughed his way through Slick Rick’s interview on ESPN.

Schoolboy Sam Frey came by to take a few shots at the Aaron Rodgers-less Packers and make a few football prognostications.
