    From Window To The Walz

    In Episode 405, Ken and Dave discuss the mess in Minnesota, a real reduction in Georgia's state income tax, 2026 legislative priorities, the Secret Service investigating Marjorie Taylor Greene, Trump's war on capitalism, and buying Greenland. Georgia Political Landscape Stacey Abrams Will Not Run for Governor Again Stacey Abrams announced she will not run for a third term as governor. The hosts said her decision is already fueling speculation about who she may support in future statewide races, with Jason Esteves and Keisha Lance Bottoms discussed as potential beneficiaries of her backing. The hosts described Abrams as politically "toxic" after two losses to Governor Brian Kemp. Senate and State Races: Ossoff Outlook The hosts predicted Senator Jon Ossoff will win reelection in November, citing what they described as a lack of strong Republican challengers. They mentioned Mike Collins and Derek Dooley as possible GOP names to watch. Georgia General Assembly Back for 40-Day Session The Georgia General Assembly is back for its constitutionally limited 40-day legislative session. The hosts suggested lawmakers may aim to finish early (potentially by mid-March) so legislators can shift into campaign mode ahead of the May primary. Tax Reform Proposals and Property Tax Debate A Senate committee proposal discussed by the hosts would eliminate state income tax on the first $50,000 for individuals and $100,000 for joint filers by 2027. House Speaker Jon Burns' priorities were described as improving literacy, strengthening the medical workforce, and reducing property tax burdens. The hosts debated whether Georgia can realistically reduce both income and property taxes at the same time. One idea raised by Pullin was freezing property assessments at the time of purchase. National Policy and Trump's "War on Capitalism" Institutional Housing Ban Proposal Trump proposed barring large institutional investors from buying single-family homes. The hosts agreed institutional ownership can be a problem in places like Atlanta, but argued the President lacks the constitutional authority for such a ban. They also warned a sudden forced divestment could destabilize the housing market. Defense Industry Restrictions: Dividends, Buybacks, and Executive Pay Trump also suggested banning defense contractors from issuing dividends or conducting stock buybacks until production speeds improve, and proposed capping executive pay at $5 million. The hosts viewed these ideas as federal overreach into private company operations. Renewed Discussion of Buying Greenland The hosts also discussed renewed conversation about the U.S. purchasing Greenland from Denmark for strategic military reasons. They said Marco Rubio is reportedly planning to discuss the issue with Danish officials. Law Enforcement and Legal Issues ICE Shooting in Minneapolis Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by ICE agents after she allegedly drove her vehicle toward an agent while agents were attempting to detain her for obstructing their operations. The hosts debated whether deadly force was necessary and argued agents should avoid standing in front of moving vehicles to reduce the risk of escalations. Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) and Leak Allegations The hosts said Trump reportedly sent the Secret Service to investigate whether Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene leaked his dinner location to protesters. Greene denied the claim, but the hosts argued she is effectively "done" in politics following her resignation. Theodore Hamby Expected to Plead Guilty The suspended official Theodore Hamby is expected to enter a guilty plea this week. The hosts also remarked that his resignation letter appeared to be written with AI tools. "The Mule" of the Week The "Mule" title went to a former Hampton Inn in Lake View, Minnesota. According to the hosts, a franchisee or employee refused to house ICE agents despite Hilton having a government contract. Hilton reportedly pulled the location's accreditation, and the Hampton Inn signage was removed within 48 hours.
