Mitch McConnell checks in from Twitter jail to talk guns and protesters

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell gave me an exclusive interview today that made news around the world. Senator McConnell finally addressed gun reform issues that have roiled America following last week’s dual mass shootings.

McConnell, homebound and healing from a fractured shoulder, also talked about protesters shouting threatening, profane chants at his home during late evening hours.

My phone started blowing up right away with links to The New York Times, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, ABC, and others who blasted out many of McConnell’s quotes about his call from President Trump that morning and how to slog forward to find bipartisan agreement on background checks, red flag laws, and more.

New York Times, August 8, 2019

According to McConnell, Trump is “anxious” to get some movement on gun legislation.

McConnell also gave his first comments on the profane protesters shouting for hours at night in front of his home. The organizer put it all on Facebook live but the McConnell “Team Mitch” twitter account was suspended with a directive to delete the protester video for its violent language and content.

The day after our radio interview, Twitter execs reopened the Team Mitch account. Multiple GOP groups threatened to pull advertising dollars for Republican candidates but Twitter claims they “reviewed this case more closely” and restored the account. Um…OK.

Team Mitch used a GIF of Mitch’s head on the body of “Shawshank Redemption” character Andy Dufresne just after he escapes the notorious prison.

McConnell told me he is not scared in his home and would “not be intimidated” by the swarm of haters outside. The senator claimed he doesn’t hear their chants while he watches baseball games.

The Courier Journal reports that state representative Attica Scott continues to suggest that protesters keep harassing McConnell at his home, where he eats, anyplace he goes.

Later, Kentucky Sports Radio’s Matt Jones came on the radio with me to discuss how his media career will continue during a (potential) senate run against McConnell. Jones and I dove into issues about guns, spirituality, raunchy protesters, and why he still chooses to receive a paper paycheck.

The Squad: Reps. Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ayanna Pressley

As “The Squad” thrills extreme left-wingers, torches traditional liberals, and irks right wingers, a prominent liberal media voice is trying to slow the roll of the Four Horsewomen of Wokeback Mountain.

READ MAUREEN DOWD

In the midst of political upheaval over The Squad, the president’s GO BACK tweets, and racist Trump crowd chants, we’ve had a very strong 840WHAS interview roster over the past 10 days. These voices of prominent Kentuckians offer perspectives from different vantage points.

Thanks to the Senate majority leader, the Governor of Kentucky, Kentucky’s 3rd district congressman, the mayor of Louisville, plus a prominent media host, former UofL basketball player, and a former football player hoping to become Kentucky’s next attorney general. Plus, there is a special guest at the end of this post. Enjoy.

Always great to hear from Russ Smith.

I get very little pushback from interviewing progressives. I receive massive pushback from progressives when I interview conservatives. Vile, vulgar, vicious intolerance of another’s opinion thwarts harmony. E pluribus unum: from many, one.

New York Times liberal columnist Maureen Dowd recently assessed the conundrum for young progressives who are trashing older progressives for not being more extreme.

“The progressives act as though anyone who dares disagree with them is bad. Not wrong, but bad, guilty of some human failing, some impurity that is a moral evil that justifies their venom.”

Let’s close with an American hero. Jimmy Green was injured in the U.S. Army decades ago. He lost the use of his legs and went into deep depression. But he found a way to fix his attitude, stop complaining, and learn to love life again.

Listen to his inspiring story hero. God Bless you, Jimmy. God Bless all of us.

Matt Jones bounced from TV until he decides whether he’ll run for senate

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

Lexington’s WLEX-TV pulled Ky Sports Radio founder Matt Jones from his nightly TV show called Hey Kentucky. Jones suggested in an interview with me that political foes pushed the TV station to bench Jones or risk the loss of commercial revenue from PACs aiming to support other Democrats in the 2020 senate race.

Journalist Al Cross says Matt Jones has an unfair advantage with his multiple media platforms, but that Jones “is not a journalist, he’s an entertainer.”

In the 840WHAS Radio interview, Jones talked of Mitch McConnell’s lack of connection with working class Kentuckians, Amy McGrath’s struggles, and state representative Charles Booker’s strengths in a potential Democrat primary next spring.

Meanwhile, as Matt Jones dawdles over his decision, another former Marine officer has jumped into the race.

AWWWWWW C-A-T-S CATS! CATS! CATS!

The Amy McGrath train wreck campaign is already off the rails

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

After months of speculation, former Marine combat pilot Amy McGrath (Lt. Col., ret) announced that she is ready to challenge Mitch McConnell for the U.S. Senate. Her launch video was impressive but her stated campaign goals made no sense. She claimed that she is the better candidate to advance the Donald Trump agenda that she claims is being stopped by McConnell. The sycophantic Morning Joe panelists did not question that ludicrous claim.

“What’s your website?” the MSNBC panelists eagerly asked to help McGrath raise money. DeadOnArrival.com seems more appropriate.

McConnell’s team immediately shut down any thought that McGrath is a conservative. Team Mitch posted a video showing McGrath telling supporters that she’s the most progressive person in Kentucky.

Rep. John Yarmuth, Kentucky’s top Democrat, was similarly confused by the McGrath strategy to hoodwink Kentuckians into thinking that she’ll advance Trump’s agenda. He joked on the radio that he was highly offended by McGrath’s claim because he is the most Liberal person in Kentucky.

DAY TWO: Amy McGrath waffles on whether she would have voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Hours later…FLIP FLOP.

Once again, the McGrath strategy to cozy up to Trump fans backfired. McGrath needs to stick to her true progressive beliefs and stop the charade of conservative fakery.

Kentucky Sports Radio founder Matt Jones, a Duke educated lawyer, has not ruled out a run against McGrath in the Democrat primary.

Jones has basked in the glow of multiple national profile pieces that have elevated his profile.

In defense of the campaign of McGrath, Kentucky state representative Attica Scott published a passionate takedown of Mitch McConnell’s record. Scott accuses McConnell, the most powerful man in politics, of strategically snaring government money for constituents who can help him while ignoring people of color.

Scott linked her comments to a recent POLITICO story highlighting McConnell’s massive procurements for various Kentucky projects, an unprecedented feat for any Kentucky officeholder. The POLITICO piece did not mention multiple other McConnell-led funding grants for the University of Kentucky, the Lexington airport, and others which total about $15 additional million.

A small, poor state with 8 electoral votes is somehow prioritized for massive government grants. That is not really seen as a problem for the majority of Kentucky residents. Therein lies the problem for anyone who challenges Senator Mitch McConnell.

Stay tuned. Just as they have been for the past 36 years, Kentucky’s Democrats are stirred up like a nest of hornets over McConnell’s muscle.

McGrath’s bizarre pandering and hazy vision is alienating supporters in droves. Matt Jones could make a strong run with his Kentucky Wildcats fan base allegiance, and don’t count out Attica Scott to consider launching an African American frame of reference into the 2020 contest.

For America at large, the journey between now and election day 2020 must eventually pass through Reparation Station after it clears ICE ICE BABY. Enjoy the ride, peeps.

Could Senator Matt Jones really whoop Snitch McConnell? It’s Beasman’s dream

Silence of the NCAA – death penalty, where is thy sting?

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

The week passes without an official notice from the NCAA on whether the University of Louisville’s appeal of sanctions will be honored. All speculation is that the NCAA will affirm the original sanctions that include nullifying the 2013 men’s basketball national championship, the 2012 Final Four appearance, and return of monies earned by the school for any games where ineligible players performed. Ineligibility was assigned to any player who had received sexual favors during a three year period where alleged prostitute Katina Powell provided women to players, recruits, and recruit chaperones.

Pro tip: that’s not how you scrub the internet

But the NCAA’s silence doesn’t keep The Beasman quiet.

Matt Jones notes his 8 year ride started in my WHAS studio

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

I appreciate the kindness and integrity of Matt Jones, founder of Kentucky Sports Radio.

The first time I heard him on the air, I thought to myself, “There’s my replacement.”

Matt took a group of smart, funny writers with shrewd youthful observations and launched a compelling, constantly updated University of Kentucky athletics fan site. Kentucky Sports Radio is a daily beacon of all things Big Blue Nation.

The statewide radio show is hilariously provocative and informative. There’s a terrific podcast. Matt’s Lexington television show HEY KENTUCKY gets strong reviews.

I’m happy for Matt, Ryan Lemond, Shannon the Dude, Drew Franklin, Mrs. Tyler Thompson, Turkey Hunter, and the entire crew. They’ve made Kentucky media sit up and notice, and they have improved the marketability of basic terrestrial radio and television broadcasting. That’s a boon to all of us.

Some fans don’t understand the challenge of hosting and creating daily media offerings that stand out in a sea of less sharpened wit. Matt out hustles almost everyone in the media business. Result? Some media people are jealous.

Never forget that jealousy is nothing more than cloaked admiration.

At his core, Matt is a good soul, passionate about life and the people in it. He’s a UK fan with a giant media platform that relates directly with everyday Kentucky Wildcats fans.

He’s Fred Astaire and the fans are Ginger Rogers. Seinfeld & Kramer. A Kardashian and any random professional athlete.

They’re partners and they need each other to feel whole. It’s great for Kentucky, great for broadcasting, and great for growth.

Congrats, Matt. In spite of your kind words on Instagram, you really were going to do it on your own whether or not you and I crossed paths.

Talent thrives on its on momentum. Looking forward to seeing the next chapters in your life.
