We talked to Senate President Warren Petersen today about his lawyer experience and if he's cut out to be the next AG.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (June 18, 2026) – When Kentucky Senate President Robert Stivers first came to the University of Kentucky as a student, Lexington felt like "the big city." Growing up in southeastern Kentucky, between London and Manchester, Stivers saw UK as a place that opened his eyes to the diversity of the Commonwealth — its people, geography, industries and needs. Decades later, as one of Kentucky's most influential legislative leaders, he says his view of the university has expanded far beyond the classroom.  On this episode of Behind the Blue, UK Strategic Communications' Amy Timoney talks with Stivers about his path from Laurel County to Lexington, his time as a UK student, his journey into public service and the university's role in helping shape Kentucky's future. In the conversation, Stivers reflects on the needs he hears from constituents across his district, including access to good jobs, reliable broadband and cell service, quality health care and education. He also discusses how UK's land-grant mission reaches communities across the Commonwealth through education, extension, health care, research and service.  Stivers says his appreciation for UK's research enterprise grew through both his role in the legislature and deeply personal experiences with cancer in his own family. He shares how his mother received care at UK Markey Cancer Center, and how seeing constituents from eastern Kentucky receiving treatment there helped shape his understanding of why investing in research matters.  The episode also explores how research can drive economic development. Stivers points to examples ranging from cancer care and health research to forestry, agriculture, engineering and partnerships with industry. Research, he says, is not only about new discoveries; it also brings talent, investment and opportunity to Kentucky communities.  Looking ahead, Stivers discusses the pace of technological change, including artificial intelligence, and the role he believes UK and other universities must play in preparing students for jobs that may look very different in just a few years. He encourages students to remain adaptable, ready to train, retrain and respond to a rapidly changing world.  Throughout the conversation, Stivers returns to the idea that Kentucky's flagship university must help the state think not only about today, but about "tomorrow, next week, next month and next year." As he puts it, UK must continue to be "the tip of the spear" in helping provide ideas and direction for the future.

A state budget has passed, what did the Governor and the GOP lead legislation agree on? We talked to Senate President Petersen on the details. 

The proposal for a single six-year presidential term in Nigeria is once again dominating national conversations, sparking heated debate across political circles, governance experts, and social media platforms.At the heart of the discussion is a major question: Should Nigeria consider a six-year single term presidency as part of constitutional reform, or is it a dangerous shift that could weaken democratic accountability?The idea, which has resurfaced amid ongoing Nigeria constitutional amendment debates, touches on key issues such as electoral reform in Nigeria, presidential tenure limits, governance stability, and democratic accountability in Africa's largest democracy.Supporters say a single-term presidency in Nigeria could reduce the pressure of re-election politics, lower election costs, and allow leaders to focus fully on governance. Critics, however, warn it could reduce voter power, weaken checks and balances, and reshape Nigeria's democratic structure in ways that may not serve public interest.And so today on Nigeria Daily, we ask the big question trending across Nigerian politics, 2026 political news, constitutional reform Nigeria, and election reform discussions:

Across Nigeria's political landscape, party primaries are often described as the foundation of democracy within political parties. They determine who gets the ticket, who flies the party's flag, and ultimately who appears before voters on election day.But what happens when influential politicians lose those primaries?

I never thought I'd be glued to my screen at 6 AM on this crisp April 13th, 2026, watching the legal world swirl around President Donald Trump like a storm over Mar-a-Lago. But here we are, listeners, with the U.S. Supreme Court diving headfirst into his bold Executive Order 14160, challenging the very heart of birthright citizenship. According to Rutgers Law School's analysis of key issues to watch in 2026, this order seeks to redefine who qualifies for U.S. citizenship by birth, potentially clashing with the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Immigration and Nationality Act. Oral arguments heated up just days ago on April 1st, as reported in coverage from the Maine Supreme Judicial Court proceedings, where lawyers like Peter J. Brann for the Senate President and David M. Kallin for the League of Women Voters of Maine squared off against Timothy C. Woodcock for the Republican National Committee. The stakes? A doctrinal earthquake that could reshape immigration law for generations.Just last week, on April 7th, G37 Chambers' International Legal News roundup from March 30 to April 3 highlighted the White House defending Trump, stating he was making the entire Middle East region safer amid foreign policy firestorms. But back home, the courts are buzzing. Picture this: the Supreme Court also just rejected Colorado's ban on conversion therapy in a March 31st update noted by Rutgers Law professors, a win for broader civil rights debates that echo Trump's administration priorities on limiting judicial overreach.Meanwhile, in a twist tying sanctions to legal battles, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, issued then revoked a license for paying defense attorneys in the Southern District of New York case against former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores de Maduro, per G37 Chambers. They're on the SDN List, facing narcotics and firearm charges after a dramatic U.S. Army Operation Southern Spear rendition. Their lawyers argue it violates Sixth Amendment rights to counsel and Fifth Amendment due process—echoes of constitutional fights Trump knows all too well from his own past tussles.And don't sleep on Trump v. CASA, Inc., where the Supreme Court in June ruled that universal injunctive relief likely exceeds federal courts' equitable authority, as detailed in Goodwin's emerging issues report for 2026. This curbs sweeping injunctions, handing a victory to executive actions like Trump's. With the D.C. Circuit eyeing CFPB overhauls under acting director Russell Vought, who wants to slash 88% of staff, these rulings signal a federal retrenchment aligning with Trump's deregulatory push.As the sun rises over Washington, D.C., these battles paint Trump as the epicenter of 2026's legal drama—citizenship clashes, sanction skirmishes, and court curbs on power. It's a high-wire act, listeners, blending policy wins with constitutional showdowns.Thanks for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

Will you need to refile your taxes? What should Arizonans know about filing their taxes? We talked to House Speaker Montenegro and Senate President Warren Petersen to get all the answers.

When the Oregon legislative session kicked off last month, state lawmakers had just five weeks to tackle a slate of priorities. One of those was a plan Democratic state and local leaders championed to keep the Portland Trail Blazers’ prospective new owners from moving the beloved basketball team out of Rip City. Lawmakers in Salem moved closer to that goal with the passage of SB 1501 in the final days of the session. The bill received bipartisan support and allows the state to borrow $365 million by issuing bonds to help pay for the costly renovation of the Moda Center, the aging arena that’s home to the Blazers. The public financing plan has several conditions including: the Blazers’ sale to its new ownership group, led by Tom Dundon, gets approved by the NBA; the team agrees to a 20-year Moda Center lease; and the City of Portland and Multnomah County must also pitch in hundreds of millions of dollars for the renovation. Joining us for a discussion about the public financing plan are Oregon Senate President Rob Wagner, who sponsored the bill, and Dewayne Hankins, President of Business Operations for the Portland Trail Blazers.

The 2020 election is apparently still not over. President Donald Trump has two states that he hasn't gotten over losing, Arizona and Georgia, under his conspiratorial microscope again. Tusli Gabbard, the FBI and the US Justice Department are hunting for proof the 2020 election was stolen. And Arizona's Senate President, Warren Petersen, gave the FBI full access to voting records.

Despite repeated warnings from Senate President, Pro Tempore Rod Bray, Governor Mike Braun insisted on an up or down vote on mid-cycle redistricting. He got his wish late last week.
