    Nathan Dahm - Islam in Oklahoma

    I sit down with former Oklahoma state senator and current Oklahoma director of the Freedom Caucus, Nathan Dahm. We discuss the rise of Islam in Oklahoma and the controversy surrounding the Broken Arrow planning commission voting to recommend the construction of a large mosque to the city council - in spite of hundreds of local residents protesting it. As usual, Dahm anchors his argument in the the constitution to present a clear-minded explanation of why Islam is not compatible with Western society.    And check out my amazing sponsors!    Motus Health - https://motushealth.com They are currently helping people who may be suffering with: Neuropathy Frozen shoulder Degenerated & Herniated Discs TMJ & jaw pain Weight Loss Autoimmune Disorders Gut Health Fibromyalgia Headaches & Migraines Trigeminal Neuralgia Knee Pain And more!! https://motushealth.com Michael Mcguire with McGuire Capitol    https://mcguirecap.com We pride ourselves on providing retirement income strategies to Bethany, OK and the surrounding communities.

    Congressman Brecheen - Healthcare Reform, SNAP Reform, Mail Order Abortion, and Cattle Prices

    In this conversation with Congressman Josh Brecheen we discuss a range of topics including what progress (if any) we might be seeing on healthcare reform. More government subsidies? Or a massive shift in the entire industry?  Of course, we drill down on SNAP benefits. Brecheen has been vocal about the need for work requirements for a while, and it looks like there is a real opportunity post-government shutdown to make real reform happen.  Then, we dig into the effort to end chemical abortion via greater regualtion of the drug mifepristone.  Find out what Biden did that resulted in a surge of chemical abortions and how we must correct this.  Finally, a look at cattle prices and how to protect our vital cattle industry in America.  Will mandatory country of origin labeling fix it or does it require a strong focus on strict price reduction at the grocery store.  Tune in to hear Congressman Brecheen's take on it!     And check out my amazing sponsors!    Motus Health - This is where my wife and go for a reason!  They offer the best in chiropractic care and true functional medicine.   They are currently helping people who may be suffering with: Neuropathy Frozen shoulder Degenerated & Herniated Discs TMJ & jaw pain Weight Loss Autoimmune Disorders Gut Health Fibromyalgia Headaches & Migraines Trigeminal Neuralgia Knee Pain And more!! https://motushealth.com Michael Mcguire with McGuire Capitol We pride ourselves on providing retirement income strategies to Bethany, OK and the surrounding communities.

    What Will Save Oklahoma?

    A recent plan as been put forth by Representative Jim Shaw. As he has lobbied this plan as the pinnacle of conservativism and litmus test of true loyalty to the party, I must ask the question: Does this plan indeed save Oklahoma?  In this episode I walk through the 7 point plan, and explain why I have yet to sign on.

    Pulling Back the Covers in Oklahoma

    I am looking at a lot of cases here in Oklahoma involving children, and there are way too many instances of tyrannical oppression of the state violating parental rights. Then there are those where the state steps in to protect violent offenders. It seems upside down!  Now, we have an elected lawmaker going on the local news to call out - not the agencies and governmental officials accused of violating their oath of office and abusing their power - but the very ones calling for justice - like me!  So, today I'm covering more on the Dayna Mooney story, the Darrell Dougherty case, and the recent appearance of Senator Rosino who seems intent on defending agencies instead of families.

    Deborah Campbell - School Based Health Centers - Will They Challenge Parental Authority?

    Deborah Campbell, an advocate for parental rights in education, discusses the dangers of school-based healthcare centers. She argues that these centers, which provide medical services to all students, infringe on parental authority and violate the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Campbell emphasizes that while school-based services are protected under IDEA for special education students, school-based healthcare centers are not and can lead to the overreach of parental rights.   School-based health centers funded by Medicaid are raising concerns about parental rights and government overreach. These centers, which provide medical and mental health services to students, are seen as a form of socialism and a violation of parental authority. Additionally, there are concerns about the lack of informed consent and the potential for medical procedures to be performed on children without parental knowledge or approval.   School-based healthcare centers are being implemented in Oklahoma schools, but the details are not being shared with parents. Informed consent is crucial, and parents should be aware of the risks and alternatives associated with these programs. Parents are encouraged to advocate for their children by actively participating in their education and healthcare decisions.   Deborah Campbell's writing on Substack about parental rights in Oklahoma K-12 education is highlighted. The importance of sharing this information to raise awareness is emphasized.   Check out my sponsors!  Stevens Trucking www.stevenstrucking.com   Motus Health motushealth.com
