Latest Episodes

Nick and James welcome Director Andrea Bell, director of Oregon Housing and Community Services to talk housing and good government.

I'll be honest, this was one of my favorite podcasts in a while. Elizabeth is super smart and we could have kept the conversation going for hours, but were limited by other activities at Dorchester.

Christian Honl is running for State Representative in HD32 on the northern Oregon coast. He is seeking to unseat the incumbent turncoat who ran as a Republican but re registered as a Democrat after voting for the controversial Transpiration Tax.

  • Disappointing

    As a republican in Oregon I was pretty enthusiastic about finding this podcast. I learned of this podcast by listening to Ally and Pasero. What a disappoinment. Lots of fluff talk. No real conservative concepts or new ideas on how to take back Oregon from the loony left. Waste of a good opportunity.

  • Love this podcast! I am a Democrat teacher who lives in Utah so I totally get thinking from the moderate minority in an extreme state. ( Just wanted to let you know that at least one Democrat is listening to your show )

    The Trump guy just explained WHY ORP candidates will continue to lose statewide. Good grief. Nothing will change. Sad.

  • Republicans got immunity

    I just heard this great news from a nurse friend of mine who is deeply religious. She said that Trump is like Jesus, and when he got COVID and passed it on to all of his people, he really really weakened the virus itself! So not only can we take our masks off, we can go to rallies, and visit friends & family, Evangelical Christian Churches are so excited! Trump was right and dems were wrong. I love it!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

OHCS Director Andrea Bell
Q: Urban growth boundary. To me, in my naive estimation, you constrain the supply of land by drawing a boundary around your city, and that as long as demand stays the same, you constrain supply, your prices are going to go up. Is the urban growth boundary something that can be reformed?
Andrea Bell argues that reform is possible through flexibility and targeted exceptions, recognizing that some land outside the boundary can be suitable for development while balancing values of existing communities, infrastructure, and environmental considerations.
Jerry Cummings for ORP Chair
Q: What are the characteristics you're looking for in candidates?
The three basic characteristics are character, electability, and vision, focusing on candidates who take principled stands.
Jerry Cummings for ORP Chair
Q: If you do end up getting the chairmanship of the ORP, what does success look like for you?
Success would be to have leaders with experience and vision, and to unify Republicans and independents against government corruption.
Aimee Reiner for HD39
Q: What are some of the things that you're hoping to do specifically in relation to your district?
Reiner aims to focus on the economy, addressing high grocery prices, transportation issues, and advocating for small to medium-sized businesses in Oregon.
EOU Live pt2
Q: What are your thoughts on Turning Point USA in terms of where it would fall with values in terms of the Republican Party and how that speaks to younger people?
Turning Point USA provides representation for different political viewpoints on college campuses and engages with students directly.
