I spoke with @RepJohnYarmuth on the transition, stimulus, and, if @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris are in the driver's seat for @TheDemocrats, who's riding shotgun?

Dr. Anthony Fauci on attending the Kentucky Derby during a pandemic
Dr. Anthony Fauci joined me on @840WHAS to discuss safely attending the @KentuckyDerby, fast-tracking a vaccine, football challenges, getting business back on track, and how to maneuver in an anti-authority & anti-science culture. 🎙 audio here: https://t.co/kb2nwYFrBP #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/F3lA8g7nXr — Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) August 7, 2020 I had a nice radio chat with America's top infectious disease researcher Dr. Anthony Fauci. We discussed how to safely attend the Kentucky Derby during the coronavirus pandemic. We also dug into the challenges facing leaders during an anti-authority and anti-science period in our culture. And what about football! The White House staff gave me 7 minutes with Dr. Fauci so we crammed as much info in as we could. America's 😷 top health official Dr. Anthony
Facing heat from #BlackLivesMatter, cops, citizens, and business owners, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer joins me to talk about the city’s unprecedented upheaval
Today would have been Breonna Taylor's 27th birthday. She's dead. On March 13, LMPD officers shot her in her apartment after activating a no-knock warrant in search of someone who was not there. Breonna's boyfriend Kenneth Walker awoke from the police invasion and shot at what he thought were burglars. Police returned fire, wounding Walker and killing Taylor. Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets to honor Breonna in a movement launched following the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd. Four police officers have been arrested over Floyd's death but none of the Louisville officers have been charged in the killing of Breonna Taylor. Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer appeared on the radio with me tonight to answer questions about the protests, Breonna's
John Schnatter is the burn mark that will never go away until he drops the Papa
American pizza sales during the global pandemic have remained stronger than most other restaurant ventures. As the economy tanks, small business owners including pizza chain franchisees are hanging on for survival. Papa John's franchisees have been through a living hell the past several years after the company's founder repeatedly humiliated the brand with racist, caustic, thoughtless comments. "Papa John" Schnatter was prominently featured in the pizza company's commercials so his downfall affected sales. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Papa John's pizza has clawed back to respectability by focusing on human diversity, kindness, humility, and a sharper TV commercial focus on the actual pizza instead of the now dethroned Papa. The problem for tens of thousands of Papa John's franchisees, managers, and employees is
Meet my big brother Lou Meiners, the best of the best
MEET THE MEINERS 🚀 Lou Meiners is the generous, driven, perceptive leader of the 14 Meiners siblings. He was the 1st entrepreneur, 1st CPA, and 1st & only sib to own a jet. Lou added clarity to my claim that he saved my life. ❤️ @840WHAS🎙 https://t.co/VGTdEXWXsM #family pic.twitter.com/0c0YCqtPcu — Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) April 29, 2020 Everyone should be lucky enough to have a big brother who protects, teaches, leads, and smoothes the way for his younger siblings. All of those things happened for the 13 Meiners siblings who were born after Lou Meiners. We couldn't fail because we had a trailblazer clearing the way ahead of us.
My first WHAS Radio guest is still making sausage 35 years later
📻 Today begins my 35th year as afternoon host on @840WHAS. @OldFolksSausage king Allen Purnell Jr., my very first guest in 1985, will join me on the air so we can catch up. 📲 https://t.co/EMYwUGhNZA #loumedia #longevity #radio #localradio #localbiz #sausage pic.twitter.com/45RNs7NIeC — Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) December 2, 2019 Somewhere in the WHAS audio files is a promo that Al Purnell recorded for me on Monday, December 2, 1985 after his appearance on my radio show. In one take, the Shelby County icon barked into the microphone, "Hello friends, Allen Purnell here. Every afternoon I have my tractor radio set to Terr-uh Minur on 84 Dubya H-A-S, cuz he's gooooooooood!" It's still one of the best promos in Louisville radio history. Thanks, Mr.

Here’s Mitch McConnell on unanimous Senate passage of the stimulus bill, meanwhile Ky Rep. Thomas Massie needs some attention, UPDATE: bill passes as Massie is ignored
Let's not bury the lede. The largest stimulus bill in American history was passed by the Senate, then the House, and signed by President Donald Trump today. It was an honor to join @POTUS at the White House today for the signing of the CARES Act. The American people needed this rescue package. They needed it quickly. And the Senate delivered, 96-0. It's a proud moment for our country. pic.twitter.com/jk33y5D5lg— Leader McConnell (@senatemajldr) March 27, 2020 Now for the rocky road to get here. America is in a freefall from the spread of the deadly novel coronavirus called COVID-19. Surely every elected official will jump in to craft a plan for recovery! Not quite. But Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, and
John Yarmuth speaks from self-quarantine, America’s free money, China’s sketchy relationship with truth, what to do with factory workers
Rep. John Yarmuth joined me on the phone from his self-quarantine to discuss his recent coronavirus test, a necessary step after being in close contact with Brown Forman heir Christy Brown who had just tested positive. The radio interview spilled into whether U.S. health officials should trust health assessments released by Chinese officials, and whether American consumers should be subjected to taking medications manufactured in China. We also discussed COVID-19 challenges for workers at both Louisville area Ford plants. Over 13,000 workers are employed at Ford alone, with thousands more clustered at other factories and Amazon distribution centers. Here’s @RepJohnYarmuth on his brush with #COVID19, possible shutdowns @ford, who’d receive free govt 💰, trusting Chinese medications, & doubting that @realDonaldTrump actually took a
