This week, Ole Gerg returns after a short break with a no-holds-barred discussion about one of Lexington's most controversial topics.
After being accused online of previously attacking One Lexington and its former leadership years before becoming involved in local media, Greg lays out why he believes those claims are demonstrably false and challenges anyone to produce evidence.
The conversation expands into larger issues surrounding race, government-funded organizations, public accountability, transparency, and how political and social divisions affect Lexington.
Greg also shares personal experiences that shaped his views on policing, poverty, and race, including encounters with the Lexington Police Department dating back more than two decades.
Finally, the episode examines questions surrounding public grant funding, open records requests, and why government-funded organizations should expect public scrutiny.

Greg publicly challenges anyone to provide verifiable evidence supporting claims that he publicly attacked One Lexington or its leadership during 2021–2022. If legitimate evidence is produced, he states he will donate to One Lexington's coat drive. If not, he argues that those making the accusation should publicly correct the record.
