This week Matt Lehman joined us for an interview. He is running as a Democrat in the 4th U.S. Congressional District, which stretches from the area east of Jefferson County to Greenup County in Eastern Kentucky, along the Ohio river. He talked about what it takes to run for an office like this, the issues that motivate him, and talked earnestly about the danger of continuously electing Thomas Massie to the U.S. House. Jazmin also explained the Temporary Injunction in the abortion ban lawsuit, which keeps the medical procedure legal in Kentucky while the lawsuit is ongoing. Robert talked about the end of Unity Aluminum's (Braidy Industries') attempts to build an aluminum plant in Ashland, and we brought back the COVID update.

This bonus episode features the entire interview WDRB's Travis Ragsdale conducted Tuesday with Braidy Industries founder Craig Bouchard. Bouchard spoke out shortly after news broke that he had filed a lawsuit seeking to replace the board of directors who fired him as the company's CEO on Jan. 28. The battle for control of the company comes as its ambitious vision to "rebuild Appalachia" by constructing a $1.8 billion aluminum plant remains just that -- a vision. Bouchard claims his ouster disrupts the progress he was making to secure funding for the mill. The board claims he wasn't making progress.  Craig Bouchard sues to remove Braidy Industries board members Braidy Industries CEO Craig Bouchard says Kentucky's most-anticipated aluminum plant will be built

Kentucky spends a lot, compared to border states, on 'incentives' for businesses to create jobs in the state. Is the money worth it?

Bevin's tweets which could appear before the ethics commission, Josie's Raymond's request for guidance to KREF, Christian Motley's appeal, and the dueling rallies of VP Joe Biden and President Donald Trump.
