S10:E6 - The Oklahoma Freedumb Caucus

This week on Across the Desk, Kit talks about the new Oklahoma Freedom Caucus and all of it's three members Senator Sean Jett, Senator Dusty Deevers, and Representative Jim Olsen. They are the right of the right, all are unabashed Christian Nationalist, and will even go after other Republican lawmakers if they do not toe their lines... It's a cabal of Republicans so extreme that can't seem to work well with others as two of the three members can't even seem to build a political coalition enough is a really red state to even get bills out of committee... The Oklahoma Freedumb® Caucus, this week on Across the Desk...

S10:E3 - The Investigation of Ryan Walters & Creeping Christian Nationalism

This week on Across the Desk, Kit talks more about the latest drama with Ryan Walters and the Oklahoma House of Representatives as the House has called for an investigation into the spending habits of the OSDE and Ryan Walters, as well as slow walking freedom of information request and violating the Open Meetings Act. While Ryan Walters comes out and says he wants an impeachment hearing now! But no one is talking impeachment. There is no political will on the side of Republicans to do such a thing. The investigation by LOFT will probably come in the form of more legislation and oversight.. Not impeachment.. Kit also talks about a curious school assignment for world history at Skiatook High school where the questions are about if God is real. If Satan is real and 'who' was it that created the world.. And the teacher? His emergency certificate expired in June! And it was for English!! Not world history...
