Coming at you from the capital city of the Free State of Florida, Matt and Brett took the first half of Friday’s show to delve into the week’s most consequential news stories. From President Trump’s state visit to the U.K. to the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show, it was another big news week here in America. They also were excited to welcome Kentucky State Senator Chris McDaniel to the program to talk about all things Kentucky politics. At the beginning of the year, longtime political fixture Senator Mitch McConnell announced his retirement from the U.S. Senate, and the race to replace him is taking shape with three major candidates announcing their bids for the seat. Senator McDaniel shared insight into the dynamics of the race, provided some background on Kentucky’s current political landscape, and discussed his leadership in rolling back the commonwealth’s income tax.
