Ep 405: From Window To The Walz 01/12/2026

Ep 405: From Window To The Walz In Episode 405, Ken and Dave discuss the mess in Minnesota, a real reduction in Georgia’s state income tax, 2026 legislative priorities, the Secret Service investigating Marjorie Taylor Greene, Trump’s war on capitalism, and buying Greenland. Georgia Political Landscape Stacey Abrams Will Not Run for Governor Again Stacey Abrams announced she will not run for a third term as governor. The hosts said her decision is already fueling speculation about who she may support in future statewide races, with Jason Esteves and Keisha Lance Bottoms discussed as potential beneficiaries of her backing. The hosts described Abrams as politically “toxic” after two losses to Governor Brian Kemp. Senate and State Races: Ossoff Outlook The hosts predicted Senator Jon Ossoff will win reelection in November, citing what they described as a lack of strong Republican challengers. They mentioned Mike Collins and Derek Dooley as possible GOP names to watch. Georgia General Assembly Back for 40-Day Session The Georgia General Assembly is back for its constitutionally limited 40-day legislative session. The hosts suggested lawmakers may aim to finish early (potentially by mid-March) so legislators can shift into campaign mode ahead of the May primary. Tax Reform Proposals and Property Tax Debate A Senate committee proposal discussed by the hosts would eliminate state income tax on the first $50,000 for individuals and $100,000 for joint filers by 2027. House Speaker Jon Burns’ priorities were described as improving literacy, strengthening the medical workforce, and reducing property tax burdens. The hosts debated whether Georgia can realistically reduce both income and property taxes at the same time. One idea raised by Pullin was freezing property assessments at the time of purchase. National Policy and Trump’s “War on Capitalism” Institutional Housing Ban Proposal Trump proposed barring large institutional investors from buying single-family homes. The hosts agreed institutional ownership can be a problem in places like Atlanta, but argued the President lacks the constitutional authority for such a ban. They also warned a sudden forced divestment could destabilize the housing market. Defense Industry Restrictions: Dividends, Buybacks, and Executive Pay Trump also suggested banning defense contractors from issuing dividends or conducting stock buybacks until production speeds improve, and proposed capping executive pay at $5 million. The hosts viewed these ideas as federal overreach into private company operations. Renewed Discussion of Buying Greenland The hosts also discussed renewed conversation about the U.S. purchasing Greenland from Denmark for strategic military reasons. They said Marco Rubio is reportedly planning to discuss the issue with Danish officials. Law Enforcement and Legal Issues ICE Shooting in Minneapolis Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by ICE agents after she allegedly drove her vehicle toward an agent while agents were attempting to detain her for obstructing their operations. The hosts debated whether deadly force was necessary and argued agents should avoid standing in front of moving vehicles to reduce the risk of escalations. Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) and Leak Allegations The hosts said Trump reportedly sent the Secret Service to investigate whether Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene leaked his dinner location to protesters. Greene denied the claim, but the hosts argued she is effectively “done” in politics following her resignation. Theodore Hamby Expected to Plead Guilty The suspended official Theodore Hamby is expected to enter a guilty plea this week. The hosts also remarked that his resignation letter appeared to be written with AI tools. “The Mule” of the Week The “Mule” title went to a former Hampton Inn in Lake View, Minnesota. According to the hosts, a franchisee or employee refused to house ICE agents despite Hilton having a government contract. Hilton reportedly pulled the location’s accreditation, and the Hampton Inn signage was removed within 48 hours. /episode/index/show/lmtywyw/id/39693595

A Democrat won a special election in House District 121 (Athens area), a seat that Donald Trump won by 12 points, signaling a potential struggle for Republicans in close races.

Vance, Trump’s Communist visitor, “muscle mommies”, time served for a tripping pilot, Josh McKoon’s odd choice for special advisor, a pedo gets life, and Democrats recommend insubordination. National Politics and Washington D.C. The hosts discuss Joe Biden's 83rd birthday and the ongoing debate over his mental state and potential 2024 run. Details from Dick Cheney's funeral were shared, noting the attendance of "war mongers" like the Bushes, Clintons, and Obamas.

Trump's sleep habits were noted; he reportedly operates effectively on only two hours of sleep per night. Assassination Attempt Aftermath and Mental Health The man who attempted to assassinate Trump (Crooks) had a significant digital footprint, contrary to initial reports. The individual was characterized as mentally ill and an "incel" who was addicted to seeking attention by hopping between volatile beliefs (violently pro-Trump, then anti-Trump, changing pronouns to they/them). He was noted to be involved in the furry community and obsessed with "muscle mommies" (steroided-up muscle-building women). The off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot who attempted to pull the fuel kill switches mid-flight (while on a 40-hour shroom bender) was given "time served" and ordered to stay away from aviation for five years. Congressional Conduct and Military Orders A group of Democrat members of Congress, including former astronaut Mark Kelly, were criticized for making a video that told U.S. military and clandestine service members to disobey unlawful orders, advice which the hosts argued could ruin a young soldier’s career if the order is later deemed lawful. Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett was criticized for mistakenly reading a list of politicians who had taken donations from a Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, wrongly claiming the funds came from the convicted child abuser. Georgia Politics and Corruption The hosts discuss the upcoming quick legislative session in Georgia, expected to end by mid-March. The future of eliminating state income tax and property taxes remains a major topic. Georgia GOP party chair Josh McKoon faced heavy criticism for appointing Brad Barnes—a self-identified national populist—as an adviser, given Barnes' history of xenophobic and anti-Semitic social media posts. This was called an "unforced error" that harms fundraising and voter outreach, particularly among older Republicans. The hosts suggest state-wide candidates like Bert Jones (Lt. Governor candidate) are vulnerable to runoffs due to the fracturing of the Republican base. In a local Georgia crime case, former church volunteer Kelly Ivy was convicted of plotting to abduct underage girls online and received a life sentence with a requirement to serve 50 years in confinement. Tragedy at Sea The high seas murder case of 18-year-old Anna Keaptainner was detailed.

The government shutdown concluded, but the current Continuing Resolution (CR) expires around January 30th, leading to concerns about another looming shutdown shortly after the holidays. National Politics and Infighting Donald Trump used new nicknames for Marjorie Taylor Green, including "Marjorie Taylor Brown" and "Marjorie Trader Green," labeling her a RINO (Republican In Name Only). The hosts praised the constituent services provided by Marjorie Taylor Green's office, noting the staff is super nice and very young. Michael Knowles spoke at Belmont Abbey College on the theme of the civil war within the Republican party, arguing that infighting is excessive despite Republicans controlling all three branches of government, partly fueled by podcasters seeking clicks. It was argued that Trump's petty attacks against figures like Green and Thomas Massie harm the independent vote. Georgia Local Issues Property Taxes: Discussion centered on the dangers of eliminating property taxes in Georgia, which would require rural counties to rely on state funding and beg the capital for money. The concept of paying property taxes as a one-time charge, similar to the vehicle ad valorem tax, was mentioned. Savannah Gun Law: A local judge ruled Savannah’s ordinance—which mandated securing firearms in vehicles and carried potential penalties up to a $1,000 fine or 30 days in jail—as unconstitutional and contrary to state code.

The Mega Millions winner in Newnan, GA, prompted jokes that they can now afford their property taxes.

The concern was raised that this is the first step in moving away from physical currency.

Congressional Conduct: Democrat Congressman Brad Sherman (CA) was observed looking at racy photos on a flight and blamed the incident on his iPad's algorithm. Epstein Files: Trump ordered the Justice Department and FBI to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s relationships with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, and other former officials. The hosts urged a full release of non-pornographic information, expecting the list to expose CEOs and captains of industry. Vandalism: Timothy Meyers Pool was arrested for vandalizing a Veterans Day exhibit at a Texas church after leaving his driver's license at the scene. Sports Georgia achieved a victory over Texas. Texas A&M secured a dramatic comeback win against South Carolina (31-30), after trailing 30-3. /episode/index/show/lmtywyw/id/39055965

Blaming ethanol subsidies for driving up feed costs and food prices. SCOTUS and Tariffs: The Supreme Court held a hearing on the legality of tariffs imposed by former President Trump, who cited the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

UPS DC11 Crash: A UPS DC11 cargo plane went down in Louisville following a catastrophic failure where the left engine caught fire and fell off, leading to at least 13 fatalities. The discussion focused on the airframe's age not being the issue, but potential maintenance concerns. Misc. The First Trillionaire: Discussing Elon Musk's new compensation package at Tesla, which could potentially make him the world's first individual trillionaire if the company hits aggressive financial milestones (e.g., $8 trillion valuation).

Political Backflips: The crew discusses Don Lemon, a self-described liberal, advocating for citizens—specifically black and brown people—to legally arm themselves to resist government overreach (like ICE raids), claiming this is the exact purpose of the Second Amendment. Katie Porter Rage: Democratic Representative Katie Porter is scrutinized for screaming “Get out of my effing shot” and dealing with accusations of abusive behavior toward her staff as she runs for Governor of California.

Portland Nude Bike Protest: Matt and Dave discuss the bizarre World Naked Bike Ride in Portland, held to protest pollution and raise awareness for cyclist vulnerability, but mostly serving as a shocking display against the National Guard.
