Bill Frady analyzes Chuck Wright's sentence and Mitch McConnell's status.

What this episode covers

Bill Frady: All right, I got a question about uh Chuck Wright real quickly. Let's go to Jeff. Yes, sir. Jeff: Hey, Bill. Um, I'm not a Chuck Wright hater. I mean, I like the way he used to operate except for the obvious criminal activity. But, um, 41 months, that's that seems pretty light. If a regular citizen had done what he did, what do you have any idea what kind of time they would have been looking at? Bill Frady: Well, they they're calling this a guideline sentence, and the guideline sentence called for something between 33 and 41 months. And the prosecutors argued that the law applies equally to all and Wright should be fed from the same spoon as those without his background. So since they went with the high end of the guideline sentence, which I I don't know the details and the intricacies of what makes up the guideline sentence. Um, I would have to say that probably he got the most severe sentence because he was violating public trust in his position and they looked at that and they said, "Oh, this is the most egregious thing you could do." So I, you know... Jeff: Yeah, well, I agree with that. But I just didn't know how they they break down those. I did notice he had the silver-tongued uh Trey Gowdy as his lawyer. But if it had been you or you or me, I feel like we we probably would have gotten gotten more. But anyway, appreciate it, brother. Bill Frady: Well, uh, you know, as far as that goes, you know, Chuck was a, he was a good, he was a good sheriff for a while and he had some things happen and uh his shortcoming here was he did not recognize that this was a shortcoming, that he needed to do something other than what he was doing. And any law enforcement official that does something and gets out there and thinks, "Well, it wasn't as bad because I did it." I got, you know... I don't know what they expected. I don't know what he expected. So... Mitch McConnell, a lot of people saying the murder turtle is dead. He is not dead, but he is symbolic, right? He's symbolic of an establishment that will not give up power. Their time is done. John Thune, your time is done. McConnell, your time is done. Ask Cornyn how it's going. Mitch McConnell was found unconscious in DC in his DC home last month, might have suffered a heart attack. There was a, they were dispatched 8:36 to his home in DC on June the 14th, requesting EMS stating unconscious and needing ALS, which is Advanced Life Support. There are people saying they've, you know, they've got him hooked up to uh life support so they can say he isn't dead, but that he might even be deader than Ruhollah Khomeini, whom the Iranians still wouldn't show us. He's 84 years old, he's been hospitalized for, you know, going on three weeks. His team, which Mitch McConnell is responsible to the people that elected him in Kentucky, he's obligated. Nobody's giving any sort of update. And his office is issuing statements, uh, claiming that he's recovering and remains engaged. This is the guy that vapor-locks while on camera and just sits there biting his upper lip with his lower lip, or is it upper, his lower lip with his upper lip? I never get that straight, but he's just standing there staring at the camera, not making any noises or, you know, just, you know, which is just a little bit worse than when they used to ask Strom Thurmond questions, when he would just have his head tilted back, his mouth hanging over. "Senator Thurmond, what do you think of such and such?" And one of his staffers would, "The Senator thinks that's a good thing." Oh, and who are you? "I'm so-and-so. I'm actually in charge of licking the stamps that goes on the Senator's mail going out." So here we are in 2026, one of the Senate majority is basically, you know, a corpse, and the Mitch McConnell dead Republicans just keep hanging on and hanging on past the point where they could be replaced by the people the voters would choose. And remember this, especially about Kentucky. See, everybody would be, "Well ...
