Congressman Brecheen - Healthcare Reform, SNAP Reform, Mail Order Abortion, and Cattle Prices 12/03/2025

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!

Roberta Lewis - Medical Kidnapping in Oklahoma - A first hand account 10/09/2025

Roberta Lewis - Medical Kidnapping in Oklahoma - A first hand account Dana Mooney, a mother of a 17-year-old autistic son, Preston, who has leukemia, stopped his chemotherapy treatment after eight months due to his declining health. She sought alternative treatments, finding a doctor who offered a plan based on genetic testing, which revealed a mutation preventing chemo absorption. Despite Preston’s improvement on the alternative treatment, a referral was made against Dana, accusing her of mistreatment, and Preston was placed in state custody, requiring him to resume chemotherapy. A mother was pressured by DHS and a caseworker to admit her autistic son to OU Children’s Hospital, despite her concerns about the treatment plan and the hospital’s financial incentives. The mother felt intimidated and coerced into signing paperwork, fearing separation from her son. The situation highlights the concerning power dynamics between state agencies, hospitals, and parents in medical decision-making. Preston, a 17-year-old with autism, was taken into state custody after a caseworker, with a signed court order, tricked his mother, Dana, into handing him over. Despite Dana’s objections and Preston’s own wishes, the state administered chemotherapy and a blood transfusion, disregarding his preference for alternative medicine. The situation raises concerns about the lack of transparency and the power dynamics involved in such decisions. Roberta Lewis observed a DHS-contracted sitter, hired through the company Synergy, who was unaware of the family’s situation and only there to “sit.” The sitter’s role was to observe the family, creating an intimidating environment and hindering open communication. Lewis questioned the purpose of these sitters, noting their lack of training, reporting responsibilities, and the potential misuse of taxpayer funds. The state of Oklahoma is currently footing the bill for medical treatment for Preston, a child in DHS custody. This situation highlights the violation of parental authority and bodily autonomy, as well as the need for transparency in the court system and a new model for the DHS. The case is gaining national attention and may be the catalyst for change in the system. Check out my sponsors! Motus Health Stevens Trucking /episode/index/show/jakeforthestate/id/38527275

July 2 2025 - Oklahoma vs Tribes 07/02/2025

July 2 2025 - Oklahoma vs Tribes The Oklahoma Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled against a tribal citizen seeking to avoid paying state income tax, restricting the impact of the nation's highest court's controversial 2020 McGirt decision. Gov. Kevin Stitt said, “This is a big win for the future of Oklahoma. From day one, I’ve fought to make sure every Oklahoman is treated equally," Stitt said in a statement. "Tribal governments, liberal groups, and some elected officials have pushed for special tax exemptions that would create a two-tiered system — one set of rules for tribal citizens and another for everyone else. That’s wrong. It would divide our state and weaken the public services every family relies on. This ruling makes it clear that attempts to expand McGirt into civil and tax matters have no basis in the law. We are one Oklahoma. And as long as I’m Governor, we aren’t going backwards.” A review of McGirt... McGirt v. Oklahoma: A Summary of the Case and Its Historical Context Background and Historical Context The McGirt v. Oklahoma case, decided by the U.S. Supreme Court on July 9, 2020, is a landmark decision in federal Indian law, addressing tribal sovereignty and criminal jurisdiction in Oklahoma. The case centers on the Muscogee (Creek) Nation’s reservation and its implications for state versus federal/tribal authority over criminal prosecutions. Its roots trace back to the 19th century, when the U.S. government forcibly relocated the Five Civilized Tribes (Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole) from their southeastern homelands to Indian Territory (modern-day Oklahoma) via the Trail of Tears. The 1833 treaty with the Creek Nation promised a “permanent home” for the tribe, with assurances that no state would govern their lands, allowing self-governance. When Oklahoma became a state in 1907, it assumed criminal jurisdiction over much of the former Indian Territory, including lands reserved for the tribes, despite treaties suggesting otherwise. This practice went largely unchallenged until the McGirt case, which questioned whether the Creek Nation’s reservation was ever legally disestablished by Congress. The Case Jimcy McGirt, a Seminole Nation citizen, was convicted in 1997 by an Oklahoma state court in Wagoner County (within the historic Muscogee (Creek) Nation boundaries) for serious sex crimes against a minor, receiving a 500-year sentence and life without parole. McGirt later sought post-conviction relief, arguing that Oklahoma lacked jurisdiction to prosecute him because, as a Native American, his crimes occurred on the Creek Nation’s reservation, which he claimed was “Indian country” under the Major Crimes Act (MCA). The MCA (18 U.S.C. §1153) grants exclusive federal jurisdiction over certain major crimes committed by Native Americans in Indian country, defined to include reservation lands (18 U.S.C. §1151). Finally... Tulsa Mayor Monroe comes to an agreement with the Muskogee Nation. How will this impact Oklahomans? What does Tulsa Police Department think of it? The settlement reads: “In the best interest of public safety and inter-governmental cooperation, and to settle this matter in lieu of litigating disputes over jurisdiction, the city agrees that it will not exercise criminal jurisdiction over Indian defendants on the (Muscogee) Nation’s reservation... This agreement does not preclude the city from exercising criminal jurisdiction pursuant to any lawful, valid and duly authorized delegation of authority from the nation to the city, including law enforcement activities undertaken by the Tulsa Police Department pursuant to the parties’ cross-deputization agreement.” /episode/index/show/jakeforthestate/id/37257680

Linda Murphy - Data Collection and Fears Relieved with Changes to SB224 04/23/2025

Linda Murphy - Data Collection and Fears Relieved with Changes to SB224 Linda Murphy discusses the controversial statewide longitudinal data system bill in Oklahoma, highlighting its origins in the Obama administration’s stimulus money and its connection to the Common Core State Standards. She explains how the system, initially designed for aggregate reporting, was transformed to collect student-level data, raising privacy concerns. Murphy also touches on the influence of the Hope Foundation and the Oklahoma Prevention Needs Analysis survey, emphasizing the need for transparency regarding funding and the potential misuse of data. Linda Murphy discusses the Oklahoma Prevention Needs Assessment, a survey given to sixth graders that includes questions about gender identity and sexual orientation. She highlights the controversial nature of these questions and the potential for long-term data collection on students’ attitudes, values, and beliefs. Murphy also mentions a federal labor report from the Clinton administration that included a student data profile with subjective evaluations, such as honesty ratings, and warns about the dangers of subjective judgments in data collection and potential misuse of this information. Linda Murphy discusses the approval of an AI platform from Carnegie and concerns about data collection in education. She highlights the need to dismantle the federal data system and emphasizes the importance of aligning data collection with state law and values. Murphy also mentions the role of Megan Offedil, hired to run the Office of Education Quality and Accountability, and her vision for transforming it into a P20 data hub. A Senate bill, amended before voting, prohibits the state’s new data system from serving the same purpose as the state student identification system or directly reporting data to federal agencies. The bill also prohibits the collection of personal data, including religion, political affiliation, health insurance status, and medical information. The goal is to prevent top-down control of student programs and curriculum, emphasizing local school board and parent involvement. Linda Murphy discusses transparency and regulations regarding student privacy data, highlighting the 2013 student privacy data bill. She offers to send additional documents and encourages listeners to like, share, and subscribe. _______________________________________________________________ Visit my Patreon Page to access all the links mentioned in the show.
