    Dr. Stephen Voss on Kentucky's Senate and Congressional Races

    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.

    The Boondoggle Blowout Bill

    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.

    Beshear lied about HB1 W/ Corey DeAngelis

    Beshear lied about HB1 to further his presidential aspirations.Shocker, I know — but Governor Beshear straight-up lied about what House Bill 1 actually does for school choice in Kentucky.He vetoed it, claiming it would take money from public schools and hurt Kentucky kids. That was false.HB1 simply lets Kentucky families participate in a federal tax credit scholarship program. Kentuckians can donate up to $1,700 to approved scholarship organizations and get a dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit. Those funds help K-12 students (public or private) with tuition, fees, and education costs. Not one penny comes from Kentucky state taxes or public-school budgets.The legislature overrode his veto overwhelmingly (House 77-14, Senate 31-5), and now it’s law.I sat down with Corey DeAngelis to break it all down — what HB1 really does, how Beshear misrepresented it, and why he put special interests and his presidential ambitions ahead of Kentucky families.

    Does McConnell Deserve a Statue?

    I discuss how ridiculous the push to put a McConnell statue in the Frankfort Capitol building rotunda is when we look at who else his statue would sit by. I go through the Matt Bevin court case. Beshear responds to Ball's audit.

    UK and WKU Exposed

    Kentucky's war on woke is far from over—our public universities are openly defying the law!I talk with Adam Guillette from Accuracy In Media (AIM) to break down their recent explosive undercover investigations that have exposed Western Kentucky University and the University of Kentucky. Hidden cameras caught staff admitting DEI is still alive and embedded in curricula—rebranded, hidden, and funded by YOUR tax dollars—in direct violation of Kentucky's ban.We dive into the MOST RECENT video: AIM's undercover footage from Western Kentucky University (WKU), where an admin casually admits they're still forcing "anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion" down students' throats using an accreditation loophole. They think we're too dumb to notice. Why does stopping these DEI policies matter? Because DEI lowers standards, discriminates against qualified Kentuckians based on race or sex, wastes millions in taxpayer money, and drags down academic excellence for EVERYONE.Plus: SB 199 lets chemical manufacturers hide real risks behind EPA-approved labels.
