4.7 out of 5 stars from 11 ratings
  • Very good podcast for local issues. Unfortunately, there is no narrative other than the one the guests put forth. No one challenges them on truth.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Candidate Conversations: 4th Congressional District
Q: What is your approach to addressing national debt and spending?
Massie proposes across-the-board cuts, a modernized penny plan mindset, and greater presidential discretion to cut waste while stressing responsibility rests with Congress, tying this to overall debt reduction goals.
Candidate Conversations: 4th Congressional District
Q: What is your stance on gun rights, including permitless carry and school safety funding?
He defends permitless carry as a constitutional extension of the Second Amendment and argues that empowering law-abiding citizens and staff in schools increases safety, while acknowledging state-level authority and advocating targeted safety measures.
Candidate Conversations: 4th Congressional District
Q: Is it disingenuous to claim alignment with the president on one hand but vote against his top priority on the big bill?
Massie defends his stance by pointing to voting for several president-supported priorities while criticizing the big spending bill as bloated, arguing the need for fiscal discipline and accountability rather than blanket support.
Candidate Conversations: 4th Congressional District
Q: First question, why are you seeking an 8th term to represent the people of the 4th Congressional District?
Massie frames his run as a continuation of delivering for Kentucky, citing recent local impact like his involvement in the Farm Bill and his commitment to transparency and single-issue governance, while denying career-politician concerns and emphasizing adherence to promises.
Candidate Conversations: 6th Congressional District
Q: What unique issues should be addressed in Washington for the 6th District?
Candidates outline a mix of healthcare, energy, manufacturing, and agriculture priorities, with debates over Medicare for All versus public options, and a focus on bringing high-tech industry and manufacturing back to Kentucky.
