S6:E15 (Sen. James Lankford - Drug Prices are too Low)

This week on Across the Desk, Kit talks about the radical conservative extremist, Sen. James Lankford, and his push to dismantle any policy signed into law by President Biden including parts of the Inflation Reduction Act where Medicare recipients will be capped at a maximum expense for the year and Medicare can negotiate drug prices. Yeah, he's really against that. And Sen. Lankford likes it so much he's made it a prominent piece on his own website... Taking it to grandma so he can 'take it to the libs' is not only his political strategy, but a great show case of those 'Crappy Conservative Values'...

Okla. governor mocks Democratic challenger for accurately noting state's crime rate

“So let’s talk about facts: The fact is, the rates of violent crime are higher in Oklahoma under your watch than in New York or California,” said Hofmeister, who is Oklahoma’s superintendent of public instruction. “That’s a fact.”

Stitt interrupted twice to protest that it wasn’t true.

“We’ll have that fact-checked by the Frontier,” said the moderator, Tres Savage of the nonprofit news outlet NonDoc, referring to the routine fact checks conducted by another independent media site.

What was not shown at the debate was that Hofmeister was correct. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Oklahoma has a homicide rate of 9 deaths per 100,000, compared with California’s rate of 6.1 and New York’s rate of 4.7.
