Louisville's embarrassing saga surrounding the arrest of world #1 golfer Scottie Scheffler has reached its conclusion. Attorney Steve Romines defended Scheffler from the outset, declaring that the county attorney had better dismiss the charges or that "we will go to trial. We are not interested in any settlement." Romines joined me on WHAS Radio one day after Scottie Scheffler's legal case was dissolved by local prosecutors. NEW: Scottie Scheffler's attorney issues a fiery response to the charges being dropped against Scottie Scheffler. Listen to what Romines told @NataliaWAVE3 when she asked why Scheffler originally agreed with the claim that he dragged Det.

Pro-Hamas college encampments…comedy or dramady?
A few recent radio interviews have examined the issue of pro-Palestine (aka pro-Hamas) encampments on college campuses. 1) Are the majority of participants just protest puppets playing the role of useful idiots? Do the majority of these kids know why they are protesting? pic.twitter.com/cT4uHxQ0Sb — Gabby Klein (@GabbyKlein1) May 3, 2024 2) "The opposition (is) so disgusting." This college protester compares herself to civil rights leaders who were shot in the 1960s. After listening to this video, I honestly don't think our country can survive this young generation. What are your thoughts? pic.twitter.com/YDQ1nXqewB — Vince Langman (@LangmanVince) May 3, 2024 3) "This isn't ending until our demands our met...we are paying your paycheck so it's your responsibility to figure it out."

The Terry Talk: Senator Mitch McConnell one-to-one on domestic and global events
"This is the most dangerous time since the fall of the Berlin Wall." Here is my wide ranging conversation with Senator Mitch McConnell, the longest-serving Senate Party Leader in American history (4/1/24) 840WHAS audio 🗣 https://tinyurl.com/ms668czr I've appreciated Senator McConnell's annual visits for one-on-one conversations. We usually make national news for various statements he makes on my show. One guy that Senator McConnell can't be persuaded to mention is the fellow pictured below. Senator McConnell wouldn't say much in our interview when I asked why fellow Senator Rand Paul has been trashing him as an out-of-touch Liberal sympathizer. Senator Paul recently claimed on Fox News that if McConnell was up for reelection today that he would lose to Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear. #Kentucky #USsenate #globalpowers #economy

Leader Mitch McConnell blasts rival Florida Senator Scott on WHAS Radio 👁️
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
A sit down with Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell
I always enjoy a face-to-face chat with political leaders and other newsmakers. There is a comfort level in sitting across the table from an interview subject. Watching their body language, eye contact, and hand gestures adds extra dimensions that a telephone chat cannot provide. LISTEN TO TERRY MEINERS AND MITCH McCONNELL Mitch McConnell is the longest serving U.S. Senate leader and longest serving U.S. senator in Kentucky history. We've done a ton of phone interviews during his 38 years in office. Studio visits produce better content. Arriving 15 minutes early at WHAS' iHeart studios, Senator McConnell and I were able to talk about a few things off air before we opened the mics. He laughed when I asked if "Cocaine Mitch" was planning
