Will Mitch, Massie and Comer Crash the Economy? w/former GOP Rep. Bob Heleringer #ColonelsOfTruth

This week Aaron, Willie and Kimberly check in on the debt ceiling crisis (and whether we can depend on Mitch to help or hurt efforts to avert global economic chaos), then we use the final Governor primary debate to compare and contrast the GOP’s field to our man Andy - Willie shares some thoughts about effective LGBTQ+ advocacy in Appalachia. The Colonels then bring on former state representative, Bob Heleringer - a Republican who previously represented the 33rd district in Frankfort - he has been a vocal critic of SB 150 - we check in with him about the state of the KY GOP, before we close out with a call to action. Super-full, super-fun episode for you this week!
