On this episode we dig in deep to some of the topics in society right now. The response to hurricane Helene and Milton, was the government there for those that needed it, how many are still missing, or presumed deceased? Shaun gets heated and in depth talking about Obama and Magic Johnson addressing "Black Men" and telling them to vote for Kamala.  He breaks down his own life experiences and talks how it felt to be lectured to by the former president about how he should vote as a black man. We also talk HAARP, cloud seeding, and the creation of storms. We talk immigration, and fixing it, as well as who politicians have in mind when they make laws that govern us citizens. Welcome to the world of current events and politics from the mouths of two independents that are tired of the status quo! #politics #oklahoma #Obama #trump #kamala #black #usa #vote #president

Welcome to a new episode, today we talk Ryan Walters of course, Trump and Kamala, and where do independents like us fall in their plan to appeal to American voters. We talk school lunch program, and money for bibles in the Oklahoma State budget being requested by Walters. The last presidential debate, another assassination attempt on Trump, Taylor Swift, Chappel Roan, and others mention who they are endorsing or voting for, and the noise it seems to make in the news cycle and the political sphere... But should it, does it matter at the end of the day who these people are voting for. That and so much more on today's episode!
