  • Still worth listening

    but the show is becoming an echo chamber. Miss hearing two sides of the argument in terms of the issues. It is worth listening to for the news, but would definitely take what’s said with a grain of salt. RIP Ryan Kiesel

  • Love the context

    Both hosts are able to provide a lot of background into the news they discuss. That background is especially helpful if you haven’t been following oklahoma government; in the space of a few episodes you’ll be caught up to follow along with what’s going on politically in the state. Both hosts bring their own perspectives but neither are antagonistic to each other, which is refreshing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Osage budget emergency, aluminum smelter injunction, GOP gubernatorial polling and more
Q: What is driving the Inola smelter injunction and who supports or opposes it?
The injunction is framed around concerns about environmental impact and potential financial consequences, with support from the governor and some national figures, but pushback from local residents, tribes, and some lawmakers who worry about economic benefits and development timing.
Drummond on Fauci, Inola aluminum smelter, Broken Arrow mosque and more
Q: What did the Attorney General say about Fauci's potential legal exposure?
He indicated the office is examining possible violations by Fauci under Oklahoma law during the pandemic, framing it as a legal inquiry rather than a settled conclusion.
Sports betting bill fails, Hoskin banned from House floor, literacy reform law and more
Q: Jennifer, why the ban against the Cherokee leader?
The hosts explain that the ban stemmed from concerns about political messaging on the House floor, the potential disrespect to tribal sovereignty, and a belief that such advocacy belongs in other venues rather than the chamber where budgets and policy are debated.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, tribal hunting and fishing, voter information and more
Q: Andy, what do you think about the job ahead for Mullin?
He is in a tough, high-profile role that will require balancing reform, funding challenges, and practical governance, with a focus on getting the job done rather than political posturing.
Bonus: The 2026 race for Oklahoma City Mayor
Q: What made you feel like taking on the challenge of running against not only an incumbent, but one who has the goodwill of a lot of people?
Pallares wants to uplift underserved parts of the city and promote local ownership, aiming to offer representation for neglected communities.
