When Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell joins me on WHAS Radio, people tend to notice. Millions of online impressions followed McConnell's 9 minute phone chat two days after President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech. After discussing the Chinese spy balloon incursion, we jumped into U.S. involvement in the Ukraine/Russia war. And then...the real war started. McConnell BURNS Rick Scott: ✅confirms “that was the Scott plan” to sunset SocSecurity & Medicare 🔥“I think it will be a challenge for him to deal with this in his own re-election in FL: a state with more elderly people than any other state in America” On @terrymeiners @840WHAS: pic.twitter.com/yAIhVLb6LY — Joel Lawson (@JoelLawsonDC) February 10, 2023 McConnell blasted Florida Senator Rick Scott on WHAS after I asked him about Biden's

As Justin Thomas reflects, St. Xavier receives its greatest recruiting video
Two time PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas recently returned home to Louisville for his Justin Thomas Foundation junior golf tournament at Harmony Landing. Thomas also appeared at the home of Valhalla co-owner Jimmy Kirchdorfer to preview the 2024 PGA Championship to be held at the iconic Louisville course. In a freewheeling interview in front of about 100 guests, Justin and Jimmy touched on the professional golfer's ongoing dedication to Saint Xavier High School. Thomas is a 2011 graduate of the highly acclaimed Catholic high school. School officials had to be thrilled with the words Thomas rolled out in praise of his alma mater. “I’d do anything to have a week back at St. X…it got me prepared for a great place in life.”

Focused on restoring city safety, David Nicholson jumps into the race for Louisville mayor
The race for Louisville mayor just took a major swerve with the addition of David Nicholson, the Jefferson County Circuit Court Clerk. Sound familiar? His signature in on your driver's license. Nicholson is well-connected to the judicial and law enforcement systems with over 40 years of public service. A grieving family spoke at today's campaign launch, asking Nicholson to end the scourge of gun violence that has taken their 19-year-old son. Nicholson's campaign is based on the restoration of safety on Louisville's streets as the city suffers from the worst homicide rates in its history. Current Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer was elected as an outsider with no government experience but success in business funded by his family. He seems to have few answers as

After another police officer is assassinated, Mayor Fischer proclaims Louisville safe
26-year-old Brandon Shirley, a Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy, was shot to death while working security at a Shively car lot. Deputy Shirley's assailant has not been apprehended although Louisville Metro Police Chief Erika Shields says they have identified potential suspects. Chief Shields said the victim was targeted. “If someone is really determined to kill you, they will kill you. And that was the case here,” she said during the news briefing. “We will make an arrest,” Shields said. Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer joined me on 840WHAS radio today to discuss the decorated officer's death and answer questions about protection of law enforcement and the overall safety of the city. The interview became a bit contentious as I pressed the mayor on the perception that
