This week, Nema, Dr. Clardy and Aaron get a legislative update from Lexington’s own, Rep. Chad Aull, from LD 79 here in Fayette County - we quiz him on what was the SINGLE WORST piece of legislation that the GOP super majority foisted on the commonwealth, and what the prospects are for breaking that super-majority in the next General Assembly. Then in the news of the week, our hosts update you on Governor Beshear's new executive actions on a couple of racially-charged issues that the legislature failed to address, and then we close out with our call to action!

Aaron, Nate and Martina are back after an unintentional week long hiatus - This week's episode brings you a breakdown of the just-wrapped Kentucky primary (including Martina's personal story of being dragged into a GOP race). From Thomas Jefferson to Randy Cravens, we'll let you know about Tuesday's big winners, as well as big losers (bye bye Sen. Southworth). Then we get a labor update from new Kentucky AFL-CIO president, Dustin Reinstedler, before we wrap up with our Call to Action.
