Truth in the Barrel with Amy McGrath

This week, Amy flies solo! She talks Elon/Starlink. How much power can should one billionaire have? Are we now in Bond-villain territory? We recently learned that President Trump isn't always getting accurate information. What happens when subordinates are afraid to play it straight with the boss? And finally, Kentucky is about to vote on a proposition to limit the scope of Federal pardons. Isn't it about time we have a conversation about reforming the pardon process nationally?

One year ago, Amy joined Lisa Parker (aka "Mamaw") on her wildly popular show, Mamaw's Porch N' Politics and had a lively discussion about a host of whole host of things. One year later, Amy thought it would be fun to have Lisa on her own proverbial porch and have a catch up on what has been happening with our so-called leadership since. They talk Hegseth, Iran and even make a few key predictions for next month's midterm elections. You're not going to want to miss this one!
