    Legendary Tommy Baldwin: King of the Dads

    Hot off their team's success at the King of the Modifieds Race at South Boston, Sadler and the Senator sit down to talk about the current status of the skill games bill in the Virginia General Assembly, and debate what could happen to the bill now that it on Governor Youngkin's desk--- will it be signed? Will it be vetoed? Who Knows! But that doesn't stop Hermie and Bill from puttin' their "two cents" in on the issue, and then they detail what they think may happen in the upcoming budget battle between the Governor and the Democrats in the legislature in the next two months.

    Then the boys track down NASCAR Legend and modified race team owner TOMMY BALDWIN, to talk about what it's like now being a "racing Dad" with his son Luke Baldwin, and what it meant to him and his family having his son Luke Baldwin win the inaugural SMART Tour King of the Modifieds Race at South Boston Speedway for the Sadler/Stanley Racing team. This is a great and fun discussion that you won't want to miss.

    Behold, The Knight Rider

    Behold, The Knight Rider

    The boys had to hold this explosive episode for a week but its finally here, where Sadler and the Senator explore the national making headlines story of the exchange between the President of the Senate, Winsome Earle-Sears and Senator Danica Roem, the first transgender politician elected in the Virginia Senate, where, according to the press, Madam President Sears called her "sir" when answering a question posed by the Senator. Listen as they break down exactly what happened, and get the exclusive inside story on what happened on the Senate floor both during and after the exchange, and why when the press and Democrats tried to make a huge issue out of it in the days after, such an attempt fell flat. Then in the second segment, Hermie and Bill breakdown another significant incident involving the Skill Game nemesis, Del. Barry Knight, as he tried to bring legislation in an attempt to circumvent a pending court case to help homeowners in Virginia Beach who live on a defunct golf course. And, if you have been following this podcast, you know that he pulled the same stunt in order to shut down Hermie's lawsuit and injunction that helped small businesses, convenience stores restaurants and truck stops to be able to participate in the emerging gaming market dominated by the casinos, and the political interests that seem to want to protect them over Virginia small business owners. They go to the videotape to show what happened in the committee, and whether the "Knight Rider" was successful, or not. This is a can't miss episode...I know we say that every time, but this time we mean it!

    Going Around In Circles

    Going Around In Circles

    Hermie and his BFF Senator Stanley meet up in Virginia's Capitol to discuss what is happening at the 2024 Virginia General Assembly as it approaches the last two weeks of session, what happened with the budget proposals approved in the Senate and House of Delegates, the current state of the attempt to legalize skill games in the Commonwealth, and they also discuss the crazy state of politics in the national scene. Then in second segment, they discuss some crazy democrat proposals that would become law if not for Republican Governor Youngkin's veto pen, show where the Democrats just can't bring themselves to protect both Virginians and victims of human trafficking if "illegal immigration" is involved, and then they talk about the upcoming open-wheel modified SMART Series season with their race team, Sadler/Stanley Racing. This is yet another spectacular episode of Leaning Right and Turning Left With Sadler and The Senator that you just don't want to miss!
