Hillary Clinton says white Christian men are the real problem with America. A mom strips at a school board meeting to make a point; was it a good move? The Shutdown Sombrero war rages on.Former State Auditor Mike Harmon, Constitutional Kentucky's Tony Wheatley, and activist Jacob Clark join me for another sneak peek of Late Night On The Right.I dropped one sneak peek episode a few weeks ago and asked for feedback. We have made some adjustments based on that feedback. We still have a few production issues we are working through before we do a full launch. The show has continued to air weekly on TV but will not release weekly episodes online until after the first of the year. Once again, feedback is welcomed as we try to improve the project.
People who think it is racist to pause immigration from non-English-speaking countries until English Learner programs in K-12 education stop overwhelming our schools are wrong, and I explain why.
JCPS is trying to get taxpayers to bail them out of their financial mess by passing new and higher taxes. Kentucky lawmakers are saying, 'We will change the law' to stop JCPS from increasing taxes.
Andy Barr sent a cease and desist letter to a PAC that is running an attack ad he claims is false. I'll explain what this can teach us about campaigning in general.

These stories are all 100% true, and just some of what we covered on a new show I'm working on called "Late Night on the Right".
We will not officially launch the show on social media until January, but this is actually the third episode that has aired on tv. We are still working out some issues, but I hope you enjoy this sneak peak.
Nicole Hidalgo joins the show to share a horrific story of a sex trafficking ring in Eastern Kentucky involving judges, sheriffs, preachers, jailers, and a fire chief. The story came to light last year when a Sheriff shot and killed a Judge in his chambers. However, Nicole has been following this story for years before it grabbed headlines.
This episode is truly jaw dropping and leaves me wondering, when will the Attorney General finally get involved and investigate?
Fayette County Schools placed a member of their budget team on administrative leave. Why?
According to the employee, she has been warning about FCPS financial issues for over a year. How did Superintendent Liggins respond?
She says Liggins and other higher-ups hid her recommendations for fixing the budget from the public, and told her to shut up about it.
FCPS issues have apparently been festering for a while, the question is who knew what when?
Jessamine County Schools decides to raise taxes more than 4%. An effort is underway to put the tax hike on the ballot for a referendum vote.
A former Kentucky Representative who also advocates for transitioning children is trying to distance himself from his transgender nephew who committed a school shooting. Will he realize that advocating for "gender affirming care" instead of proper mental healthcare leads to these incidents?
Kentucky's capitol building is undergoing a massive renovation that is costing the taxpayer more than 4x what they originally built it for in 1910 AFTER adjusting for inflation.
Some of the expenses include:
$52,000 per window to repair the windows currently on the building.
$18,000,000 on a temporary building to be used 60 days a year to hold the few hundred legislators and staff needed to conduct the legislative sessions.
Lee Watts joins me to discuss this and about religion's place in politics.
What is the Democrat plan to win over male voters? According to Beshear and Harry Sisson, just talk more about abortion.
Schools are raising taxes massive amounts while trying to hide it from the taxpayer, unfortunately this isn't new.
An out of control Fayette County School Board budget meeting shows us all why FCPS can't balance a budget.
Beshear has Harry Sisson on his podcast where they proceed to discuss how the Democrat party just needs to talk more about "women's issues" and then one day male voters will be won over by it.
Woodford County Schools is preparing to pull out a loan in order to make payroll, and Fayette County Public Schools admits they actually don't know how much money they have.
This leaves one to wonder why some "Republican" elected officials are choosing to target homeschoolers with extra scrutiny instead of the government schools.
I also dig into the illegal immigrant driver license scandal.
While Kentuckians waited in line for hours, illegal immigrants skipped the line and got licenses using fake documents after bribing workers with $300.
How does this mirror other illegal activities done by state workers over the past few years?
I sit down with Former Kentucky State Auditor Mike Harmon and discuss this breaking story.
We also talked about:
Mitch McConnell
Modern attack ad campaigning
If Obergefell is overturned, will Kentucky stop issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples?
What does the future have in store for Mike Harmon's political future?
There has been a lot of conversation about Daniel Cameron, Andy Barr, and Nate Morris running to replace McConnell, but there is another candidate starting to get some attention in the race. That candidate is Michael Faris.
I sat down with Faris and we had a conversation about who he is, why he is running, and what his policy goals are.
All the 6th District Congressional Candidates say they are anti-DEI and against the BLM movement, but are they really?
There is a big problem with their voting records on this issue. They all had a hand in creating the Kentucky Commission on Race. A committee that just this past month approvingly heard testimony regarding special government backed 0% apr loans only for minorities.
I also dig into what the senate candidates are doing leading up to Fancy Farm.
Kentucky's vehicle registration goes down... again. These computer issues combined with an out of control vehicle tax system that values vehicles way higher than fair market price has left many Kentuckians frustrated, including myself. Rep. Kim Holloway joins the show to discuss her first term in office.
Kentucky spends $1,000,000 in taxpayer funds on buying distillery equipment for a company that is in part ran by a major Beshear donor. The senate campaign fundraising reports are out, and it is causing many politicos to count out Cameron. I'll discuss why I think they are wrong to do so this early in the race. The 6th district congressional race is starting to heat up and get interesting.
"WINK WINK: Please sh**t republicans" a statement made by Jeffrey Miller a Kentucky school board president.
Rep. Doan joins me to tells us how a simple request to open back up the school track to the public led to the resignation of a school board president when his crazed social media post and problems with drinking and drugs came to light.
Also Rep Doan will discuss a time he thought he wasn't going to make it out of a local government meeting alive.
Daniel Cameron calls out Nate Morris over plastic straws, Nate Morris calls out Andy Barr for calling Immigration Hawks "Nativists", Andy Barr calls Nate Morris fake. This Senate Race is turning into a cat fight over social media, and while it might not be the best thing for our country, it is entertaining. I'll go over all of it. We also have some big news coming out of the 6th District Congressional Race. Finally, I'll discuss if Trump and Massie have patched things up.
This past session the KY Legislature:
Stopped Beshear's illegal taxing on gold.
Failed to stop colleges from offering in state tuition rates for illegal immigrants.
Proposed Bills that would have taken away guns for mean social media posts
Made disruptive protesting in Legislative Chambers and Committee Rooms a criminal offense.
I discuss the good and bad with Rep. TJ Roberts on today's episode of Kentucky's Voice.
Has Massie always voted this way? Does he hate Trump? Or is there something else going on? I dig into the coming primary fight in the 4th Congressional district, and go over what is really driving it. I also discuss Nate Morris jumping into the senate race.
Donors that have given hundreds of thousands of dollars to McConnell (and democrats) throw a big fundraiser for Barr. Nate Morris is seen shooting an ad for a potential senate run. I also discuss how these candidates may find a path to victory. FCPS paid $40,000 for Liggins and two others to travel to Australia. Beshear is under fire from the DOJ over illegal immigrant college tuition rule. We gave $116 million to AESC, and it is not going well.
We discuss laws set to take effect in the next few weeks such as the formation of the Kentucky Film Office, banning Medicaid paying for gender transition services, putting a stop to sexual grooming of students in Kentucky schools. We also dig into the fight over CWD regulations in the deer industry.
Senator Robin Webb switches to the Republican Party, but is she doing it to win elections or has she left democrat ideologies behind to become a conservative?
FCPS has had a rough few weeks as they have lost favor with a majority of the district. I go over how this happened.
I give an update on the Senate and 6th District Congressional races, as several potential candidates make a trip to Israel.
Kentucky is handing out decades long sales tax exemption offers worth millions in order to get data centers built in Kentucky. Is this actually a good thing, how does it benefit Kentucky, and why are they doing it?
I sit down with Senator Lindsey Tichenor to discuss these multi-billion dollar data centers and their affects on Kentucky.
Democrats say listening tours in Kentucky maybe their path back to power. I say only if they stop calling everyone who voted for Trump "Nazis", something that'll never happen.
I draw criticism for remarks on a Leftist Lexington "protest". I'll explain why I am right of course.
The Ford Plant failure is coming into clear focus as they strike deal to sublease factory to Nissan. Will the politicians who gave $410,000,000 in various benefits, paid for by the taxpayer, ever apologize for their votes?

Beshear's podcast is doing awful. He can't even break 2,000 video views with guest like Coach Calipari. That leads to the question, what is Beshear's sponsors exactly paying for?
Auditor Ball sues Beshear over failure to implement new laws.
Cameron gets charged with an ethic violation from his 2023 campaign. The timing seems odd and points to political motivations.
What is Cameron's thoughts on McConnell's political philosophy, and will he be a clean break from McConnell or more of the same?
How does Cameron respond to the people who think he mishandled the Breonna Taylor incident?
What did Cameron learn from the Governor's race?
We cover these and many other topics in today's show.
Beshear's quest for President is not going so well as he keeps running into the "nobody really cares" potholes in the road.
Barr makes some mistakes in his early start for Senate.
Scott Jennings is a rumored 3rd candidate.
Why can't we get away from Mitch McConnell in Kentucky?
What exactly is our Kentucky Legislature thinking when it hands out millions to private companies? What is going on when great bills fail, and bad bills pass? What is the Kentucky Legislature's economic philosophy?
I sit down with Rep. Steve Doan and discuss this past Legislative Session.
I endured tens of minutes of Andy Beshear's first podcast episode, and it is pretty clear he has made a show that no one will actually find entertaining.
A four year old was handing out dollar bills to drag dancers at a publicly funded drag show in Kentucky.
Nate Morris, Andy Barr, and Daniel Cameron all have senate race news surrounding Trump as the question of who (if anyone) will Trump support in the upcoming senate election.
Beshear has decided that the Legislature must give the Beshear Admin a made up amount of money per new bill passed or else Beshear possibly won't follow the new laws. It's like a second veto that takes a bribe to overcome.
Pamela Stevenson says there won't be a competitive Democrat Primary for the Senate. If she's right, and Stevenson is the best Dems in KY have, then the real race for the next Senator will be in the Republican Primary.
Planned Parenthood hands out explicit coloring books to kids. Is UK asking what animal someone is? Beshear Vetoes some bills.This episode was recorded this morning. Planned Parenthood has since come out and admitted to giving out the books, despite prior statement to the contrary.
Beshear Vetoes a bill that stops taxpayers funding the gender transition services, hormones, and surgeries for 10,000 - 15,000 Kentuckians that the Beshear Admin says is currently receiving those services and using Medicaid to pay for them.
The Media has been heavily pushing a narrative on Matt Bevin when it comes to the treatment of his son Jonah Bevin, but there is more going on with that story. They are hoping you don't read the full articles and ask questions like "What should a parent do in this situation?"
Local media shows it's bias when it comes to how it covers incidents regarding Christian and anti Christian beliefs in our schools. Is Beshear exchanging favors to give multi million dollar tax breaks to green energy projects while destroy Kentucky's coal industry? As the Legislature wraps up we see some last minute bills and last minute votes targeting small businesses, large tax break handouts, and home schoolers that leaves one wondering if the Republican Legislature is aware that they are supposed to at least pretend to be conservative.
Can we still prosecute the Bidens for their influence peddling?
How much was the Federal Government running cover for the scheme?
How is mainstream conservative media tied into the Deep State?
What was going on behind the scenes that caused the issues between McCarthy and some members of the Republican caucus?
Will Comer run for Senate or for Governor?
KY Dept for Public Health shells out over $500k fir a middle school creative writing class for only "black or brown" girls. Some horrible bills are moving through our Legislature including on that will have a huge effect on deer hunting in Kentucky.
Your calls have mattered, HB399 (felony for protesting too loudly at the Capitol) and HB96 (back door red flag law) have had some positive developments if you want to see those bills defeated. KY Democrats demonstrate their contempt for the Constitution when it comes to religious freedom and limiting the power of the Governor. The Legislature wants KY to hand out more than $100,000,000 a year in taxpayer incentives and expenditures to attract in the movie business; is it worth it?
I cover two bad bills, HB399 and HB 96, and why we need to stop them. You can call 1-800-372-7181 to leave a message for your Representative.
Daniel Cameron and Andy Barr trade jabs as McConnell announces he isn't running again. I also go over how the playing field may shift if Massie decides to run for the Senate. Digging through government contracts I started noticing millions being spent on HIV. I take a hard look at how much we are spending. KY Sen. Berg goes on another unhinged rant that is just wasting everyone's time.
KFC is leaving Kentucky, I'll go into how the mismanaged polices of Kentucky lead to companies packing up and moving. Andy Barr is desperately trying to run away from McConnell. Two new Kentucky Doge bills are filed. I also go over a few other important pieces of legislation.
The Beshear Administration admits to using taxpayer funds to pay for gender transition services for 10,000 - 15,000 people.
The 2026 Senate Race in KY is heating up as Andy Barr and Nate Morris take turns being in the headlines, and attack ads already start to roll out in the race.
I made a post on social media that ruffled some feathers. I make the case of why we should pass HB 254. Finally, JCPS had another case of an elementary school kid bringing THC gummies to school.
The Beshear Administration is asked some pretty pointed questions from legislators regarding the spending of over $6 million dollars in order to turn an existing building into 18 apartments in Jackson, KY. I also dig into how localities buying up property development rights while also spending tax funds to drive up the population in their towns creates an endless cycle of increased home costs in Kentucky.
The Scott County Attorney proves I was right while trying to say I was wrong. Beshear spending big money on an extravagant trip. TI-82 calculator training raises a few questions. Communists groups in KY are becoming more vocal.
Beshear was on a call with Chuck Schumer when he said that Americans needed to suffer in order to learn not to vote for someone like Trump again. What did Beshear mean by that? I'll take a look at his track record during that last Trump Administration when it came to issues that Democrats blamed Trump for. Scott County Jail is changing it's policy in regards to illegal immigrants. Their old policy is a perfect example of how Leftist within professional organizations and government can shape policy even when not holding an elected office. Finally, I dig through a few more bills that are being considered this legislative session in Frankfort.
Republican's lose a seat in a special election in Iowa, I go over what Kentucky Republicans can learn from that. Amy McGrath goes full TDS with an X post. Foreign flags are waved at an anti-deportation protest in Kentucky. A new communistic group is trying to get attention in Kentucky, I'll go over why they will fail.
Donald Trump potentially saves Louisville millions with an EO stopping some actions from the Biden DOJ. A Democrat in Kentucky proposes a bill I agree with. I take a look at a few bills filed by Rep. Roberts. The KY media is gunning for FCPS Superintendent Liggins, I explain why.
Trump is taking swift action to purge DEI from the Federal Government. I'll go over why he is, and why the KY GOP is failing to do so in Kentucky. Beshear attends the WEF. Spending on lobbying in KY reaches new record levels.
A group of students have decided to sue Kentucky over their lack of quality education, and they do have some points. Rep. Josh Calloway proposes a bill to undo Beshear's EO on "Conversion Therapy", and to put the 10 Commandments in the classroom. Democrat's propose bills on hate crimes, minimum wage, and free tampons.
Blue Oval is facing a union vote, and Beshear has broken his silence on the matter. FCPS says "it's not me it's you" on why they just now were able to get students back to school. Republicans put forward a bill to grant exemptions on the abortion ban.
A Democrat Representative sponsors bill to ban "Ghost Jobs". I'll explain why this is stupid. I will also go over two pieces of good legislation sponsored by Representative Savannah Maddox.
I ask the important question "when are we going to get mail again?". Republican Leadership claims a tax cut is unconstitutional, are they right? Kim Banta proposes new laws regulating balloons and guns.
The Kentucky Legislative Session has started. I give a rundown on a few bills that are being considered including bills that will cut the income tax, regulate automatic license plate readers, and allow full fledged casinos in Kentucky.
Vapes are being outlawed while medical marijuana is beginning to be sold in Kentucky. I'll discuss how this odd contradiction has happened. Kentucky approves a new solar farm and the Democrats are mad about it. Lexington goes into debt for a piece of "art". McConnell keeps talking trash about Trump.
A national spotlight on spending is a great time to take a look at just how much the Republicans have been spending in KY. A Louisville police officer is under fire for issuing a citation to pregnant homeless women going into labor. I'll explain how the media is lying to everyone, and why I believe the officer did everything he could for the benefit of the unborn child.
Joe Gerth comes up with a new ridiculous reason that Thomas Massie is a racist. I'll go over why the media still thinks these attacks have legs. The City of Lexington introduces a new communistic scheme to buy up medical debt.
Looks like the most likely major candidates in the 2026 US Senate Primary in KY is Daniel Cameron, Kelly Craft, Nate Morris, and Andy Barr.
In today's show I went through these potential candidates and how I think each one can win and lose.
Bel Cheese announces it is leaving Kentucky. The Legislature realizes that Kentucky Jails are transitioning inmates. KC Crosbie is endorsed for GOP Co-Chair by Trump.
A fight going on in Boone County over EV chargers show us exactly why Kentucky's recent "investments" by the government are leading to a loss in revenues.
JCPS is asking the Legislature to allow them to hire non-English speaking drivers. The JCPS Task Force wraps up with nothing to say. Already getting some news on the 2026 Senate Race in KY.
A Louisville Professor is extra mad that people are beginning to recognize that race baiters are bad for society. Lexington gets top marks for LGBTQ people. Pikeville tries to put on a Krampus celebration.
Louisville abortion clinic is set to be demolished. Rep. Stevenson is elected as Minority Floor Leader. New law takes effect that will make everyone's life much worse.
The KY Ford battery plant has a new problem that may ensure it never employees the 5,000 Kentuckians it has promised. Sen. Thayer says the KY GOP didn't do enough for school choice.
The Carnegie Center in Lexington has a drag story hour. I'll go over why they keep doing this. Beshear goes on Face The Nation and tells dems what they need to do in order to win. I'll go over what he is right and wrong on. A study on coyotes that makes no sense.
Outgoing Senator Westerfield once again shows his TDS syndrome. A House Rep. tells voters that they should have no opinion on Leadership in the House. Chief Diversity Officer of JCPS says something extremely racists. John Oliver decides the most important thing about Kentucky is the transgenders.
The KY House holds it's super duper secret Leadership vote. I'll go over what happened, and how we achieve change.
Accusations are flying in the Kentucky House as Leadership elections are getting underway. Including the claim that David Meade has been using his position as Speaker Pro Tempore to provide special treatment to a female legislator due to inappropriate relations. McConnell says that Trump damaged the ability of the GOP to be competitive in elections. Another company in Kentucky that has received hundreds of millions in taxpayer funds, announced that it is pushing back it's expected date of beginning operations.
I go over some good outcomes. Cover the bad ones. The we finish off with just a few races I found funny.
I give just a few last minute thoughts, and briefly speak on some Election Day controversies.
I go over a few State House and one State Senate race as I take a look at some data and make some guesses at outcomes.
Lexington Liberals make it clear that they want solar.... just not in their backyard. Another school employee misuses taxpayer funded resources and still AG Russell Coleman does nothing.
a Write-in Campaign in underway in Eastern KY that promises to at least be somewhat interesting. Russel Coleman makes some interesting statements in his Tiktok lawsuit filing. Louisville creates another law enforcement agency.
I had a Black Pill moment last night, that made me realize this all may not end as well as I thought. Adams announces he is spending $250k on an early voting campaign.
I take a look at two Herald-Leader articles on races going on in the Central KY area. The contrast between the two can give us some interesting insight into who the Establishment supports and who they don't.
I go over why Democrats are losing men. Al Cross write an anti-school choice op-ed that lacks substance. A Democrat applauds attacks on Catholics in Kentucky. RPK is driving a divide in the Republican Party and they really don't care.
I go over the Supreme Court Race between Izzo and Goodwine by going over a candidate forum that both candidates participated in.
We have had a rash of KY "Republicans" not being very conservative this past week. I'll go over who the offenders are and what they have done. In this episode I cover Kim' Banta's new gun control bill. In one part I quoted her talking about if a 15 year old shoots a cow while hunting. In the show I wasn't as clear as I wanted to be on current hunting laws. The fact Banta was referencing shooting a cow I believe she was talking about hunting big game (like a deer). In KY it is not legal for a 15 year old to hunt a deer with a rifle on their own, a fact I call her out for not knowing despite making laws on the subject. What I did not make clear is that kids twelve or older can hunt small game on their own, I did not mention this in the show because she had brought up shooting a cow and not something smaller like a cat.
The School Unions are getting heavily involved in at a State Supreme Court Race. FCPs magically fins money for more magnet schools while closing down art classes. A shocking stat tells us just how bad our public schools are.
The AG has called out another school for improper use of funds. Ethics clears Rep. Stevenson for condo purchase. The Department of Juvenile Justice strikes again. This time the abuse a mentally ill boy with a toilet.
Beshear makes Time's 100 Next list. Hadley Duvall is featured on the cover of Glamour. Mayor Greenburg is now enforcing a mask ban in Louisville.
It's time for our monthly tradition of looking at what the Government Contract Review Committee approved this past month. Including more DEI spending and ridiculous construction costs.

Ford is panicking over China and the EV market. Kamala Harris took the advice of "answer the question you wished you were asked" a little too literally.

New political ads from both sides have dropped in the Governor’s race. Beshear’s defense of himself lacks all logic.
