  • Ep 379: Political Ponzi Scheme
    Jul 14 2025

    Join Dave Roberts and Ken Pullin for Episode 379 of Let Me Tell You Why You Wrong, where they blend backyard reality with political insider drama. They open with life in Pike County under blistering summer skies—Ken’s just marked his 22nd wedding anniversary while juggling his daughter's Georgia Tech orientation (an $85 registration fee!) and the sticker shock of a $700 parking pass (Uber to the rescue, maybe). From there they steer into Atlanta’s frenzy—$400-plus tickets to the MLB All-Star Game, Beyoncé’s surprise country-music stop, and a preview of Whiskey Myers in Macon—before diving headlong into Georgia’s next big showdown.

    Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones finally threw his hat into the governor’s ring after the filing deadline, self-funding a $10 million launch video that features a surprise walk-on by Donald Trump and fond memories of his days kicking around the Bulldog football field. Dave and Ken unpack Jones’s platform—abolishing the state income tax, fighting fentanyl, barring trans girls from girls’ sports, and ending movie-industry tax credits—and compare it to Attorney General Chris Carr’s $3.5 million war chest, the ever-teasing Marjorie Taylor Greene, and other potential contenders like Brad Raffensperger and Mike Collins.

    No Georgia episode would be complete without scandal, and this week the Frost family of Newnan steals the spotlight. Once major Republican donors, Brandt Frost 4 and his son Brandt Frost 5 now face an SEC civil suit accusing them of fleecing roughly 300 investors out of $140 million through their “Patriot Funds/Dollars” program, promising implausible 12–18% returns on risky loans while allegedly funneling $19 million into their own pockets (including a $320 000 rental home) and dumping $570 000 into political contributions.

    They round out the show with a look at federal policy and public-health alarms: DHS’s sudden end to the 19-year shoe-removal rule, Pam Bondi’s flip-flop on the Epstein “no list,” an “activist judge” stay blocking Planned Parenthood defunding, and the routine—but controversial—purge of 478 000 Georgia voter-registration records. On the home front, one in three U.S. teens now carries pre-diabetes, a Delta A330’s engine failure led to a 30-hour layover in the Azores, and Washington County’s DUI cover-up—where private hires of a certain public defender triggered wholesale dismissals—remains a cautionary tale. Unfiltered, unapologetic, and undeniably Georgia, it’s another roller-coaster hour with Dave and Ken.

  • Ep 378: Cool As A Cucumber On Meth
    Jul 7 2025
    Join hosts Dave Roberts and Ken Pullin for episode 378 of the "Let Me Tell You Why You Wrong Podcast." Just back from his travels, County Commissioner Ken Pullin shares his unique observations and strong opinions on policy, travel, and the latest headlines. Get ready for an unfiltered discussion on legal dramas, political maneuvers, and cultural controversies. Key Topics and Unfiltered Takes: Ken Pullin's Northeast Expedition: Ken Pullin recounts his "super nice" week in Maine, including renting a house on a lake and venturing to Ogunquit for three or four more days. He highlights the stark political contrast between Republican-leaning Kennebunkport (with its "American flags everywhere" and "Trump signs") and the more Democrat-aligned Ogunquit (where "every restaurant has the gay flag out front"). Ken also praises Boston as a "great town", noting the "pride flag" atop the Old State House, visits to Cheers, and the supposedly oldest restaurant in America, the Red Dragon Tavern. He highly recommends Acadia National Park in Maine for its "incredible" scenery and "perfect" weather, sharing a memorable encounter with a bald eagle snatching a fish while kayaking. Plus, insights into the comfort and amenities of Sky Club access during air travel. The "Policy Problem" of Traffic Stops: As a county commissioner, Ken Pullin details getting pulled over in Thomas, Georgia, for an expired car registration. He voices a significant "problem" with the policy allowing police cars to automatically scan vehicle tags and initiate stops when a driver is "not doing anything wrong". Ken argues that an expired car tag is a "civil issue" with the county government, not a "criminal issue" for law enforcement, especially when stopped in a different county. He equates this to his strong dislike for checkpoints, which he considers a "complete fourth amendment violation" if there's no probable cause to stop someone. He notes the car was his daughter's car and humorously anticipates the "walk of shame" to pay the late tag. • National Headlines & Candid Opinions: Nice Try Diddy: Discussion of Diddy being found guilty on only two "lowest charges" related to interstate prostitution, while being acquitted of racketeering (RICO) and sex trafficking. The hosts critique the defense's "victim shaming" approach and highlight the striking discrepancy in penalties between a victimless RICO charge (up to life in prison) and sex trafficking (20 years).Bryan Kohberger's Guilty Plea: An analysis of Bryan Kohberger's unexpected decision to plead guilty to all counts to avoid the death penalty, waiving all rights to appeal."Alligator Alcatraz" / "Gator Jail": Delving into the controversial facility in the Florida Everglades for deported individuals. From a fiscal conservative standpoint, the hosts defend the facility as humane and fiscally responsible, contrasting it with previous practices. They also discuss the strategic "psychological operation" aspect of publicizing such a facility to deter illegal immigration.Geoff Duncan's Democratic Consideration: Analysis of former Republican Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan mulling a run for Georgia Governor as a Democrat. The hosts express skepticism about the Democratic party's acceptance of Duncan, suggesting his anti-Trump stance is the primary reason for current consideration."No Wieners in Girls' Sports" & Lia Thomas: A deep dive into the reversal of medals and championships for men competing in women's sports, specifically referencing transgender swimmer Lia Thomas. The US Department of Education agreement requires stripping Lia Thomas of all her medals, restoring Division I records to female athletes, and sending personalized apology letters to each of those swimmers. The hosts emphasize comments from an affected swimmer asking for an "apology for making us undress in front of him".Massive Meth Seizure: The hosts discuss the seizure of "700 pounds of meth" hidden under cucumbers in Gainesville, Georgia, speculating on its Mexican origin.The "Big Expensive Bill": An in-depth look at the massive legislative bill that passed despite Republican control. Key aspects discussed include funding the border wall, cutting welfare for illegals, imposing work requirements for Medicaid recipients, and a significant increase in the deduction cap for State and Local Taxes (SALT) from $10,000 to $40,000 (a "gift to Democrat states"). The controversial "carve-out" for Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska to secure a Senate vote is also examined.Politician Antics: Comments on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' "silliest" eight-hour speech on the House floor, and Representative Nancy Mace's social media antics, including chronicling her drive to D.C. in her pajamas, leading to a discussion on politicians trying to be "social media influencers". Other Noteworthy Segments: The tragic Texas flooding and missing children from Camp Mystic, debunking "erroneous information" spread by "influencers" like Beth ...
