Local county leaders tell lawmakers what the housing shortage looks like in their communities. Former Attorney General Daniel Cameron is set to speak on behalf of former President Donald Trump's campaign at Fancy Farm. A Lexington native is once again bringing home the gold for Team USA.

He's been called the most qualified person to run for Attorney General in Kentucky's history, and there's plenty of reasons for it. Russell Coleman, the GOP nominee's for AG, has served his country as a US Attorney, FBI agent, prosecutor and much more. Now, with early voting underway in Kentucky, Coleman hopes to head to the AG's office to take on violent crime, deadly drugs and federal overreach. With just a few days before the election, Coleman sat down in-studio with the Flyover Country crew to talk about running for office, the Fancy Farm experience and what he hopes to accomplish while serving. Hear now from the lawman himself, Russell Coleman, now on Flyover Country!

With less than 50 days until election day, Attorney General Daniel Cameron and Governor Andy Beshear faced off in the same venue for the first time since Fancy Farm as they both took part in the state chamber's forum on Wednesday night. With a focus on economic development, Cameron and Beshear offered two differing paths forward for Kentucky, talking jobs, taxes, crime and much more. Over the next month and a half the two will face off a few more times ahead of election day. Outside of Kentucky, Congress is still a mess, Trump's abortion answer is a mess and VP Harris is still saying crazy things while a local reporter in South Carolina grabs the sound bite of the year! All that and more on Flyover Country! 

In this episode, Hotline Editor Kirk A. Bado gets reporting dispatches from national correspondent Zac Weisz and gubernatorial races correspondent Mary Frances McGowan as they recap the latest happenings at the campaign trails and the polls.

Today, I cover some of the other note worthy speeches from Fancy Farm. Everyone is talking about “retire” being yelled at McConnell, but what about the Republicans chanting “lost the Senate” at him? I also talk about the Lt. Governor speeches as well as the Attorney General Speeches. Every year the Democrats bring someone who doesn't understand what Fancy Farm is and just yells at everyone, find out who it was this year.

Fancy Farm held their yearly picnic over the weekend. This Kentucky political event attracts thousands of people and each statewide candidate for office gives a speech. Traditionally, this is an opportunity for candidates to tell jokes at their opponent's expense. Today, I focus on the governor speeches by Beshear and Cameron.

Wow! Have you caught your breath yet! The Flyover Country crew headed down to the Fancy Farm picnic this weekend to bring you a LIVE reaction podcast following the speeches.
