A data center developer is attempting to build in Kentucky and is getting pretty upset that citizens in the community won’t let him rezone the land. However, he’s getting some help from members of the government who are trying to push the data center for the tax revenues.
Brian Luftman, founder and president of American Farm Investors, sent a letter to Mercer County Planning & Zoning, throwing a fit that they won’t rezone his property. After hitting a roadblock with the county, he attempted to have the property annexed into the city of Burgin to get around county zoning and planning.
The city then tried to hide what it was doing to allow the data center, but it was caught by the public anyway and canceled the meeting. I’ll go through this whole saga, which may not be over.
Also, FCPS is in quite the drama with its attempt to oust Liggins, and he is not going quietly.

A 3 a.m. email throws a Kentucky school district into chaos as the FCPS superintendent quits — but doesn’t quit, but definitely quits. I’ll read what most would call his resignation letter and point out just how ridiculous this all is. Hopefully we can all learn the dangers of emailing your employer at 3 a.m. from this.
JCPS is building some new schools despite losing students.
UK is coming under fire for a Cayman Islands trip, and I’ll update you on how else the government is wasting your money.

Beshear admits he is trying to sell the idea of data centers to Kentuckians.
I discuss exactly why politicians everywhere are giving away tax incentives and taxpayer cash in order to attract massive data centers to their areas, despite the citizens they are supposed to represent not wanting them there. Beshear gave us a huge hint as to why with his statements.

Dr. Ralph Alvarado, Republican candidate for Congress in Kentucky’s 6th District, sits down with me to break down the biggest issues facing America: Iran, Israel, Ukraine, reckless government spending, and our exploding national debt.

We also tackle the tough questions head-on — addressing the reasons some voters have hesitated to support him and what he has to say in response.

The House impeached a judge for the first time since 1916.

Then a Supreme Court Justice threatened every House member with felonies — and disbarment if they were lawyers — for daring to do it. There were 4 other impeachment petitions filed… including one against another Supreme Court Justice. So what actually happened? How did it all go down?

I sat down with Rep. Steve Doan, a member of the House Impeachment Committee, to break it all down — the drama, the threats, the court battles, and what this unprecedented session really means for Kentucky.

We also talk about the high-stakes GOP primary between Congressman Thomas Massie and challenger Ed Gallrein.

Beshear declares a state of emergency!
But it's not snowing, flooding, the wind isn't blowing, and a mass amount of people don't have the sniffles. So what is the emergency? Gas prices, he says. His orders include activating price-gouging laws, lowering the gas tax, and stopping a future hike.
I'll break down exactly what he did, and importantly, did he do the same thing under Biden?

46% Thomas Massie, 40% Ed Gallrein, 14% Undecided — that's where Kentucky political insider and constitutional attorney Chris Wiest says the Thomas Massie vs. Ed Gallrein 4th Congressional race is currently polling.
He joins me to discuss where the Senate race currently stands and whether Daniel Cameron has a lane to victory. We also break down the 4th Congressional District and what has happened — and what will happen — in the final two weeks. We took a few texts from live listeners.

Who is going to win the Kentucky Senate race?

Who is going to win in the 4th District? Thomas Massie or Ed Gallrein?

Who is going to win the 6th District congressional seat?

I had a conversation with Dr. Stephen Voss, an associate professor of political science at the University of Kentucky. We discussed these questions.

While no one has a crystal ball, you will hear insights about what happens in elections, how voters think, and what trends we have seen in the past that help us predict the future.

I really enjoyed this conversation, and I hope you will as well.

Iran war. Exploding national debt. Abortion. Immigration. AIPAC.
Nate Morris — the businessman running to replace Mitch McConnell in Kentucky’s U.S. Senate race — sat down with me and took tough questions from both me and live listeners.
We hit those issues head-on, plus much more.
No attacks. No softballs. Just direct questions wanting answers.

A $1.7 billion one-time spending bill was just signed by the Governor — and most of us had no idea it was even happening.
Over $300 million in potential waste and abuse has been identified in HB 900. It started at $800 million for unnamed projects. Then, at last minute, it grew to $1.7 billion — stuffing in spending items that nobody had time to properly review… and that were kept hidden from Kentucky citizens until after the vote.
Here’s just some of what they slipped in:
- $80 million in forgivable loans to mega-development private industry projects
- $100 million to the Economic Development Grant program
- $2.5 million to buy an off-road park
- $2.2 million in one-time extra funding to the Glendale Training Center at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College, which was built to train employees at the currently shuttered Ford battery plant.
- $3 million to the Louisville Ballet
- $4 million to Camp Landing Entertainment District, which is a for-profit private property developer renting space in a redevelopment mall to Malibu Jacks, a movie theater, and other businesses.
- $2.5 million for Kentucky to invest in Kentucky tech startups (it doesn’t specify which ones — presumably those selected by the Beshear administration)
- $3.2 million to the Louisville Orchestra, which has net revenue in the millions
- $10 million to the Kentucky Center for the Arts, which is the landlord for the Opera and hosts events like drag shows
- $450,000 to the Leadership Kentucky Foundation, a nonprofit with over $1.1 million in annual revenue, a net income of $308,000, and more than $3 million in assets
- $3 million to Goodwill Kentucky. Goodwill Kentucky brought in $138,259,072 in revenue last year, with net income of over $5 million and $184 million in net assets. It's CEO makes over $450,000 annually.
- $158 million in various unnamed or ambiguous economic development projects.
And that’s just scratching the surface.
Whether it’s handing millions to already financially strong private nonprofits, spending tens of millions on unnamed economic development projects that could end up in private bank accounts, or getting government involved in private industry where it arguably shouldn’t be — these are all expenditures that deserved real debate and discussion.
Not a last-minute, secretive passage where the citizens of Kentucky don’t get to voice their thoughts to their representatives.
Watch my latest show where I break it all down.
