Welcome to Uncle Jimmy’s Podcast—a space built on the legacy of love, family, and unwavering presence. I named this platform after the greatest uncles I’ve ever known—men who showed up, spread love, and lived with purpose. Aunt Margie and Uncle Joe were constants in my life, and their love for each other is the heartbeat of this show. This is a place where we honor that spirit. No hate. No division. Just truth, compassion, and community.

In today’s episode, we unpack the 2025 government shutdown—what it is, who’s responsible, and how Project 2025 is no longer a shadow plan but Trump’s declared roadmap. He says he didn’t know what it was. Now it’s his future. We’ll break down the nuclear option Republicans could use to end this shutdown, and we’ll hear Trump’s own words on who he blames. Plus: a $20 billion bailout for Argentina while our federal workers go unpaid, and a reminder of the $17 trillion tariff promise still sitting on the shelf.

We don’t do soundbites here. We do full context. So if you want real coverage, go watch C-SPAN, not the clips designed to divide. Listen to what politicians actually say—not what they’re edited to sound like.

This podcast is for everyone. Immigrant roots, working families, truth seekers, and community builders. Spread love, not hate. Love your neighbor. Love yourself. Love life.

🎙️ Podcast Summary: Interview with Jacob Trimble – Candidate for Kentucky’s 5th District

In this episode, we sat down with Jacob Trimble, a U.S. Navy veteran, healthcare professional, and proud Kentuckian, who recently announced his candidacy for Kentucky’s 5th Congressional District. Running as a Republican, Trimble brings a message of service over politics and a deep commitment to conservative values, local communities, and real-world problem-solving.

During our conversation, Trimble shared his motivation for entering the race—drawing on his military background, healthcare experience, and firsthand knowledge of the challenges facing everyday Kentuckians. “Kentucky deserves a leader who’s been in the trenches—not just on the campaign trail,” he said.

Key topics we covered:

• 🔧 Economic Relief & Inflation: Trimble's plan to combat inflation and bring stability to Kentucky families and small businesses.
• 🗣️ Constitutional Freedoms: His strong defense of the First and Second Amendments.
• ⛏️ Energy & Coal: Why he believes Kentucky’s energy industry is vital to both state identity and national security.
• 🌽 Rural America First: His advocacy for agriculture, infrastructure, and making sure rural voices aren’t drowned out in Washington.

Whether you’re a voter in Somerset, Pikeville, or anywhere in between, Jacob Trimble is making a case for a new kind of leadership—rooted in service, accountability, and putting Kentucky first.

This week, the political shakeup is real: Kraft gets absolutely blown out and pulls the plug on his campaign. We’re sizing up the final 8 contenders battling it out for the at-large city council seats—no fluff, just the facts. Meanwhile, Boston’s crime situation is spiraling—this week, a cop was shot, and it’s clear we’re nowhere near being the “safest city in America.” We break down the latest Pew Research data to get a clearer picture of the groups shaping our politics.

But it’s not just local — American politics is boiling over with violence and toxic rhetoric, and I’m calling out EVERYONE, from Donald Trump on down, to tone down the hate, stop the mudslinging, and start acting like adults. We’re way past the point of petty attacks and dangerous escalation.

And we get real about what just happened to Charlie Kirk—assassinated for exercising his right to free speech. Whether you agree with him or not, one thing’s crystal clear: free speech isn’t negotiable. It’s the cornerstone of what being American is all about. Silence or censorship is not the answer.

Buckle up — this episode cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of what’s really happening in Boston and America right now.

In this urgent episode, we take you inside the long-awaited Boston City Council hearing on Mass and Cass—a flashpoint for addiction, homelessness, and public safety. From city councilors and state reps to business owners and residents across every neighborhood, the message was clear: Boston has had enough.

This is more than a policy debate—it’s a public health emergency. We spotlight raw, unfiltered voices from the community, sharing stories the nightly news won’t touch. Whether it’s calls for compassionate care or demands for accountability, the city is unified in its push to clean up Mass and Cass and meet people where they are—whether they’re ready for help or not.

And just hours before the hearing, Mayor Michelle Wu dropped a new plan. We break it down and ask: is it bold enough, or just another political maneuver?

Tune in for the emotion, the urgency, and the truth behind Boston’s fight to reclaim its streets.

In this episode, we take a nostalgic trip back to Helena Road in Dorchester, Massachusetts—a true hotbed of hockey talent and community spirit. Growing up on this legendary street meant being surrounded by not just great families, but some of the best young hockey players in the city.

We highlight local legends like Mark Dennehy, who played college hockey at Boston College and now works with the New Jersey Devils, and Kevin O’Sullivan, who made his mark at Boston University. Just a street over on Elmer Road, we had Chris O’Sullivan, a standout at BU, and his sister Stephanie, a star at Providence College. Special thanks to Shaun O’Sullivan for always taking us to Walter Brown Arena and making us feel like part of the family.

We also look back on the careers of Kevin and Jimmy Hayes—who went from Nobles to Boston College and on to the NHL—Scotty Perry, Brendan Walsh, and Robbie Concannon. And of course, we talk about Brian and Keith Yandle: Brian made waves at UNH, while Keith reached NHL stardom, once holding the Ironman streak.

The episode is packed with funny stories from our days on the ice and a heartfelt celebration of the tight-knit neighborhood that raised us. For us, Dorchester wasn’t just home—it was the Mecca of hockey. Big shout out to the shows sponsor at fergs custom cards go follow him on Instagram and Facebook.

This week, we spotlight major developments in Boston’s fight for public safety and accountability. From zero shootings reported citywide over the past week to 91 grams of fentanyl and 10,000 fake Percocet pills seized, we break down what these numbers mean for our neighborhoods. We also dig into the city’s hiring practices, with Councilors Flynn and Murphy calling for a hearing to address systemic flaws—especially the troubling fact that not one Bostonian was deemed qualified to run Franklin Park.

Plus, I’ll be showing up and speaking out:

• Tuesday night at the Mayor’s Forum

• Thursday night at the Mass & Cass hearing (811 Mass Ave)

We close with a moment of reflection for the families affected by the tragic school shootings in Minnesota. If you’re able to support, text ACF1 to 41444.

Welcome back to the show. Today, we bring you a heartbreaking and urgent episode. We're covering the tragic school shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota — where an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old lost their lives in an act of senseless violence.

We'll hear from a survivor of the shooting, as well as powerful responses from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

But we don’t stop there. We take a hard look at the FBI’s warning signs for potential school shooters — and we ask the difficult but necessary question: what can actually be done to stop this from happening again?

This episode explores seven real solutions to this ongoing crisis in America:

1. Limit access to guns for at-risk individuals 🔫
2. Strengthen mental health support in schools
3. Intervene early with threat assessment programs
4. Create a culture of belonging and inclusion
5. Improve physical security in school buildings
6. Push for meaningful policy reform and political will
7. Empower communities—not just schools—to be part of the solution

This is not just another news story. It's a wake-up call. It's a call to action. And it's a conversation we must keep having — until the violence stops.
