Shownotes Transcript

A bill working its way through the Kentucky legislature would decriminalize the use of deadly force by homeowners against homeless people who had camped out on their land and refused to leave. The bill also includes myriad addtional punitive measures that will ensure sending more Kentuckians to prison for longer terms — all at the taxpayers’ expense, of course. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the bill and why it may be in the establishment’s best interest to require the citizenry to address the homelessness crisis themselves rather than deal with it legislatively. Plus a segment on the Biden administration’s disastrous decision to bomb the Houthis in Yemen that’s left the White House painted into a corner with few options on how to proceed to end the Red Sea blockade. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from David Axelrod and Alec Baldwin!
