**The Process**

There is no shortage of information. If you want to know “WHAT” is happening choose any news source, at random, and likely they will cover the same stories as any other outlet. But will they have context? Can they explain “WHY?” something is happening? Open conversation is scary. Open conversation can create odd narratives, but it also helps us all better understand our world.
The process is a show born from years of experience as both a student of politics and a trial attorney – a combined study in motivation, law, politics, policy, and society that helps focus analysis on the “why behind the what” of daily life. The process is for those who want to understand.

Rachel on Slack: The national picture will probably be shakier than these fucking twits think it will be (I honestly believe w/out Trump, you don’t HAVE a national movement like this) but could these nitwits grab house seats in OK, MO, IN, IA, AK, KS, etc? You betcha.

Kentucky Blue In 2022 Grass, A Chat with Conor Halbleib, (D-KY5th) Jul 26, 2022

Show notes

Host: Adam Sommer @Adam_Sommer85

Guest: Conor Halbleib @conor_halbleib

Picture for me a candidate for US Congress in south-eastern Kentucky.

https://conor4kentucky.com/events/

https://secure.actblue.com/donate/conorhalbleibforcongress

This part of the state is miles from what you likely know of Kentucky, hours from Louisville, Frankfort, and Lexington. Sandwiched between West Virginia to the North east and Virginia to the direct East, touching Northern Tennessee. It’s coal country. No major towns, little access to national highways, with the Cumberland plateau and Cumberland mountains as major features.

If you’re a Jason Isbell fan you’ve heard of this area - and my guest for this chat could be a protagonist in an Isbell song himself.

Do you have that candidate in your mind?

Good. Now here is my chat with Conor Halbleib - a Progressive Democrat running in the Kentucky 5th District
