Episode 419 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! Jeremiah Morrell, Bones Harcourt, and Betsy Mills are your hosts. Zach Burcham is working as your producer. Great friend of the show Rob Kendall is back with us. Now the host of Kendall & Casey on WIBC in Indianapolis joins us. Henry County Commissioners are about to consider approval of a data center at the Knightstown interchange. Will this be the major project that Henry County says “Yes” to? We recap the crazy two years that Rob Kendall has had, getting Micah Beckwith elected Lieutenant Governor of Indiana, being very involved with the changes to the property tax system in the state, and the fallout when they passed a bill that nobody was happy with. We give him all the credit or the blame for where we are today.  Now there is a redistricting fight and Governor Braun and Beckwith are feuding with the State Senate, including Jean Leising, who represented Henry County for a decade, and still has Rushville. Betsy Mills says she is going to get Congressman Shreve booked on the program. We are getting ready for Thanksgiving. We review traditions, and is it possible to do a “Christmas with the Kranks” and skip a holiday like Thanksgiving? Perhaps Easter, but not this holiday. Finally, we fear our Colts might be in trouble. Our program is community supported on Patreon.

Jeff was joined by former senator and current Republican gubernatorial candidate Click Bishop. They discuss why he is running for governor, the crowded field, his time in the State Senate, his work background in Alaska including on the North Slope, the state budget, his thoughts on the Permanent Fund Dividend, the energy challenges in Alaska, and how his campaign for governor has been going. 

This week Mark is joined by State Senate candidate Emily Tseffos! They talk about running in a district that is primed to be flipped, but still an uphill battle. Emily shares her priorities for what she would do if elected, and they talk about how Wisconsin needs a legislature that actually represents the will of the people.  Mark then shares his thoughts on having an "attitude of gratitude" this Thanksgiving, as his mother always would say. Guest: Emily Tseffos

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for November 21st Publish Date:  November 21st    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, November 21st and Happy Birthday to Stan The Man Musial I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb targets millions in federal funds to counter drones, boost World Cup security Smyrna denies five-story apartment building Interrogation videos highlight third day of trial for man accused of killing Acworth neighbors Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on rice All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: INGLES 10 STORY 1: Cobb targets millions in federal funds to counter drones, boost World Cup security  Next summer, Cobb County will play host to international soccer teams prepping for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, one of the biggest sporting events ever. With Atlanta set to host eight matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Cobb will handle training, transportation, and fan events. But with that comes challenges—crowds, security, and logistics. To prepare, county officials are asking for Homeland Security grants to boost safety measures, including $7.5–$12 million for drone detection tech. Training sites? Atlanta United’s grounds in Marietta, KSU’s Fifth Third Stadium, and possibly Pace Academy. “The more popular the team, the bigger the crowds,” said Cobb EMA Director Cassie Mazloom. STORY 2: Smyrna denies five-story apartment building  The Smyrna City Council shot down a rezoning request for a 250-unit apartment complex this week, with a 5-2 vote against the proposal. Wood Partners South Acquisitions LLC had pitched a five-story mixed-use development on 6.7 acres along Highlands Parkway, near Technology Court. The plan included 250 apartments—mostly one- and two-bedroom units—plus retail space, a pool, and a courtyard. Councilwoman Latonia Hines acknowledged the project’s quality but questioned the location. “It’s a great development—just not here,” she said. The Planning Board and city staff had already recommended denial, citing conflicts with the area’s industrial zoning. STORY 3: Interrogation videos highlight third day of trial for man accused of killing Acworth neighbors On the third day of Matthew Lanz’s murder trial, the defense finally had its turn. Lanz, now 26, sat quietly in a green jumpsuit, his hair unkempt, his face hidden behind a scruffy beard. Prosecutors played interrogation videos from 2021, where Lanz, then 22, denied killing his neighbors, Justin and Amber Hicks. “I didn’t murder them,” he said. “Someone murdered them.” The Hicks, both 31, were found shot to death in their home, their two-year-old son unharmed nearby. Lanz is accused of breaking in through a back window and pulling the trigger. The trial, a bench trial at the defense’s request, will hinge on Judge Sonja Brown’s decision. Prosecutors rested their case Wednesday, leaving the defense to decide if Lanz will testify. In one chilling video, Lanz asked police if Amber Hicks had been pregnant. She wasn’t, but his comment left the courtroom uneasy. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: STRAND THEATRE STORY 4: State Senate election appears headed toward runoff  It looks like Democrats Jaha Howard and Roger Bruce are headed for a runoff in the special election to fill the state Senate seat vacated by Jason Esteves. Unofficial results show Howard leading with 32.6% of the vote, followed by Bruce at 25.4%. The six-candidate race was a whirlwind, with just over a month to campaign. “We had to gear up in days,” Howard said, calling the campaign a “faith journey.” Bruce, a Capitol veteran with 22 years in the Georgia House, leaned on endorsements from big names like former Gov. Roy Barnes. The runoff is set for Dec. 16. STORY 5: Smyrna limits vape shop locations, approves Tolleson Aquatic Center contract This week, Smyrna’s City Council cracked down on vape shops, unanimously passing an ordinance to define and restrict them. “Right now, they’re just lumped in with general retail,” said Community Development Director Rusty Martin. “This lets us set some boundaries.” The new rules? Vape shops—defined as retailers primarily selling alternative nicotine or vapor products—can’t open within 1,000 feet of another vape shop, schools, or daycares. In other council news, Arrow Waste got the green light (6-1) for a temporary office on Riverview Road, despite concerns about a nearby fuel tank. Also approved: a $16.23M contract for the Tolleson Aquatic Center, set to open in 2027. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on rice We’ll have closing comments after this.

Indiana Governor Mike Braun joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss the ongoing battle across the country to redistrict states mid-decade, as is going on in his home state of Indiana. Braun walked through why Republicans are pushing back against census errors driven by illegal immigration that cost the party House seats, and he detailed his ongoing battle with the Indiana State Senate as he works to advance President Trump's agenda in the state. Braun also discussed why Republicans must continue their efforts across the country, as many Democrats are looking to add Democratic House seats in their own states, Braun wrapped by comparing his time in the U.S. Senate to his experience now as governor, outlining the differences between the two roles and working in the private sector as a business owner.

Illinois is set to become the latest state to legalize medical aid in dying, after the State Senate approved Senate Bill 1950 on Friday. The legislation, championed by Senator Linda Holmes, would allow terminally ill adults with less than six months to live to request medication from a physician to end their lives if they choose. Holmes, reflecting on the pain of losing both parents to cancer, says the bill offers dignity and relief from suffering. The measure includes strict safeguards, requiring mental health assessments and barring surrogates from making the request. The bill now awaits the governor's decision.

He is also a former Assistant Attorney General, White House Fellow and Florida Senator. In 2016, Aronberg created a Sober Homes Task Force that made more than 120 arrests for patient brokering and insurance fraud in the rehab industry, and has led to several new Florida laws and regulations that have become the model for other states. Aronberg's efforts also convinced Google to restrict advertisements and improve screening for addiction treatment. The crackdown in rogue sober homes and corrupted drug treatment centers contributed to a dramatic decrease in opioid-caused deaths in Palm Beach County. Dave Aronberg was born in Miami. He attended public schools before going on to graduate with honors from Harvard College and Harvard Law School. After graduation, he worked in the litigation department of a large South Florida law firm while also working closely with Insurance Commissioner Bill Nelson to investigate European insurance companies that refused to honor World War II-era policies sold to victims of the Holocaust. In 2000, Aronberg was selected to be one of 15 White House Fellows from across the country. In this nonpartisan position, he served in two presidential administrations as a Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury Department for international money laundering, including the laundering of terrorist assets. Dave Aronberg was elected to the State Senate in 2002 as its youngest member and served until 2010. In 2010, Aronberg returned to the Florida Attorney General's Office as a Special Prosecutor for Prescription Drug Trafficking. In his role as the Attorney General's "Drug Czar," Aronberg led an anti-pill mill initiative that helped clean up the pain clinic industry and reduced the record number of people dying each day from oxycodone abuse. Aronberg is a trial skills instructor at Harvard Law School, and frequently appears on cable television as a legal commentator.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that wants you to elect more lesbians! This week, co-hosts Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Janelle Perez (@janelleperezfl), the Executive Director of LPAC (@teamlpac), the only organization in the U.S. dedicated entirely to electing LGBTQ+ women and non-binary leaders. LPAC is a nonpartisan organization born out of the realization that the majority of the financial contributions made to LGBTQ+ organizations were disproportionately going to cis white men. A group of lesbians recognized this disparity and decided to try to increase equity in politics by electing a more representative government. When LPAC was founded in 2012, there was only one queer woman running for office. Just 12 years later, in 2024 there were over 200 queer women and non-binary candidates. And not only are more candidates running, but more are winning too! LPAC had an impressive 74% win-rate in 2024.  Janelle explains what it takes to become an LPAC endorsed-candidate (main answer: BE GAY!), why queer women statistically win more candidacy races than gay men do, and how a life-altering cancer diagnosis brought her parents from homophobic to “we want you to have your wedding on our front lawn” in record-time. Although she is now 10-years cancer free, Janelle's coming out journey, decision to run for State Senate in FL, and involvement with LPAC are all interwoven with her diagnosis. At 28 years old, Janelle was diagnosed with 2 types of terminal cancer. This could've easily derailed her life, but instead it was the catalyst that brought her family together and gave her the itch to get involved in local politics. Janelle shares that queer women typically run for office for mission-driven reasons rather than a desire for power. She herself ran on the basis of expanding access to healthcare for people in her home state after receiving an egregiously large bill for a cancer treatment. After her experience running for office, she pivoted to the organization that had backed her candidacy, LPAC, eventually stepping into the role of Executive Director. We talk a lot about gay audacity on this podcast, and Janelle and LPAC have it in spades. If Janelle's story inspires you and you would like to learn what it takes to run for office in your district, be sure to reach out to LPAC for all the resources you could ever possibly need to get started.

The October 3 edition of the AgNet News Hour featured a passionate interview with Alexandra Duarte, a farmer, mother of four, and candidate for California's Fourth State Senate District. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill dug into Duarte's background, her vision for California agriculture, and her fight against policies she says are driving family farmers out of business. Duarte, who farms with her family in Stanislaus and El Dorado Counties, said her decision to run for office came from a desire to stop what she calls the “liberal policy agenda that's devastating us.” She credited her husband, Congressman John Duarte, with encouraging her to step into politics while their children continue managing the family nursery. “I can be that middle gap in Sacramento, a voice of common sense,” Duarte told listeners. At the heart of her campaign are water, regulations, and rural representation. Duarte insisted California does not have a water shortage, but a “Sacramento problem” created by policy failures. She called for dredging rivers and canals, building reservoirs, and increasing groundwater recharge to end manmade scarcity. “We live next to the tallest watershed in the world. We do not have a water issue,” she said. Duarte also blasted Proposition 50, warning that it would gerrymander rural voices out of federal representation. “If Prop 50 passes, the Valley loses its ability to fight in Washington,” she cautioned. On regulations, Duarte gave concrete examples of state overreach, including new laws requiring third-party certification for ranch gates and added costs for waste disposal in rural counties. “So many regulations seem okay, but they're not,” she said. “They pile up until it's impossible for farmers and small businesses to survive.” The conversation also touched on predators threatening livestock, the struggles of the trucking industry, and the importance of youth ag programs like FFA. Duarte said her mission is generational: “We want to hand the farm down to our children. All food grown in America is safe to eat, and American-grown food is the best thing we can do for our families.” For listeners, the message was clear: Duarte is campaigning on common sense, farm-first policies, and restoring California's agricultural strength.

In a matter of weeks, North Texas voters have the chance to flip a Texas Senate seat from red to blue, and provide another vote for sanity in a chamber dominated by the nonsense of Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick. Union president, veteran, and working class public education champion Taylor Rehmet is running against two far-right MAGA Republicans in the special election to fill a vacancy left by Republican Kelly Hancock's move to the Texas Comptroller's Office.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect the New York Times trying to confuse voters over whether Zohran Mamdani is a socialist, the online left conspiracy theory that President Trump must be dead, and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer setting a special election for a Michigan State Senate seat 18 months after she knew the seat would be vacant.First, they shred the New York Times for arguing that Democratic New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani is not a socialist. He's a "democratic socialist," which supposedly means "the closest Mr. Mamdani gets to socialism is in his belief in treating people more equitably." Jim and Greg go over Mamdani's truly radical track record and what the Times is trying to accomplish with this argument.Next, they take a blowtorch to the stupid lefty online conspiracy that President Trump must be dead since he hasn't been seen in public for a few days. Jim explains why it would be impossible to hide the death of a president and why not seeing him for a few days is actually a good thing.Finally, they rip Gov. Whitmer for taking 10 months to call a special election since she knew a key Michigan State Senate seat would be vacated and eight months since it's been empty. The previous state senator was elected to Congress in November 2024. The general election to replace her is now set for May 2026, meaning the seat will be unoccupied for 18 months since Whitmer first knew she would need to call a special election. Surely, the current 19-18 state senate split in favor of the Dems has nothing to do with the delay.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.
