Kentucky Politics Weekly

There's good news and bad news but KPW has it all. We've for JCPS issues, leadership elections, Trump appointments, and a fugitive wallaby.

The 2024 elections are over, DJT is back, and KPW have thoughts. Lots of lessons learned, unlearned, and relearned. So listen up for politics, asteroids, and William Wallace monkeys on the post-election KPW

The United States isn't the only country holding elections this time of year. KPW's official foreign correspondent Jason Emert joins the show to talk about his work as an election observer in Georgia (the Tbilisi one, not the Atlanta one). The crew also rounds out the election and talk about Andy Beshear's proposal to eliminate the electoral college.

It's that time again! KPW is here with your full, 19 Senate race and 100 State House race-by-race breakdown of the election. There's not as many competitive races as there were in the primary but that doesn't mean there aren't some interesting ones. Also a positive, we kept is under 2 hours!

We're a little over a week before the Presidential election and things are only getting crazier. KPW's got Arnold Palmer's manhood, Nazis, questionable science, and Tres and Jared are aggrieved by NFL refereeing.

Jared and Abby are on set, so we're remote this week but that doesn't stop the news. An organ donation scandal, a clan endorsement, a new McConnell book, and chili ice cream lead the headlines.

KPW is back from a week's hiatus and there's lots to get to. The scandal list long this week with LMPD, the Metro Council. and Juvenile Justice leading the way. Also, there's the aftermath of hurricanes and a discussion of the Kentucky Right to Life endorsement list.

Need your carpet cleaned? We've got a recommendation. Can't afford airfare to Turkey? We'll tell you how to get there. Want to make sense of dumb things politicians say? We'll try to help, but no promises.

KPW come to you this week from Bespoken Bourbon at Greyline Station in Lexington. We have a megacast of politicians behaving badly, including posing the question "How do you get banned from a strip club?" Also, praise for Rand Paul, the animal coalition of the willing, and a discussion with Bespoken CEO Scott Savage about their bourbon and the legal paperwork involved in building a distillery from the ground up.

It was debate week this week, and Nazi propaganda about people eating pets made it onto stage, so we've got that going for us. Also, Tres and Jared are not impressed with this week's football slate, Abby sticks her hands in other people's water (literally), and more.

Jared is out of town, which means it’s just Tres and Abby (and briefly, Linus the dog). They cover all the important news, like media errors, cinnamon bacon, and the Louisville porch pooper.

We've got a full card for KPW Night at the Political fights! Beshear v the DOJ! Beshear v Ball! Vance v Firefighters! Trump v Arlington! Boeing and SpaceX v Gravity! Sheriff (managed by Booze) V Tractor!

The Democrats are convening in Chicago and dolphins are attacking in Japan. We've got these stories and everything in between along with Tres and Jared's pre-season NFL and College Football bets.

After a massive and disappointing technical failure on the last show, KPW is back and better than ever with new recording equipment and better sound, but still with the same snark and 8-bit theme music! We've got Amendment 2 troubles in Pulaski Co, Russian restaurant yelp reviews, and the biggest politicians behaving badly segment in KPW history!

Another Fancy Farm is in the books and the KPW has a breakdown for you. Recording live from directly behind the stage, the crew is joined by State Representatives Michael Meredith, Wade Williams, and Suzanne Miles, State Senator Jason Howell, Fancy Farm Political Chair Steven Elder, and Mario Anderson of Spectrum News.

Biden out, Harris in, mems aplenty, Beshear for VP, the Olympics, and one persistent Louisville physician, this KPW hits it all and more!

It's another huge week in American politics. An assassination attempt, the RNC, and Biden potentially stepping aside. KPW has you covered as we march closer to election day.

Things keep getting worse for Joe Biden and Jake Cox loves it. KPW's got all your Democratic Despair news! Also, while Andy Beshear is running for VP, he seems to believe it’s a good idea to pick a fight nitpicking rules that could endanger children. Good idea or bad idea?

The KPW crew is back from vacation and breaks down the Presidential Debate and a week or huge SCOTUS rulings.
