Jed Green, head of Oklahomans for Responsible Cannabis Action, spearheaded the effort to legalize medical marijuana in Oklahoma via state question 788 in 2018. He talks with me about why he believes this was a needed initiative and why he is opposed to the upcoming state question 820 which would legalize recreational marijuana in Oklahoma. He is not opposed to recreational marijuana because, for him, it is a "freedom issue." But he disapproves of the way SQ820 attempt to achieve this as it mimics the California and Colorado model which requires grows to and dispensaries to carry a dual license - one for medical and one for recreational.
In addition, we talk about signature ballots in general in Oklahoma and why rural Oklahoma still has a voice in the process.

I also have a great discussion with Senator David Bullard about some upcoming legislation he has authored to ban sex reassignment procedures in Oklahoma for minors.
This is a "practice show" done in preparation for the launch of the offical Jake Merrick Show on 96.9FM.
During this show, I interview Kyle Brown, co-founder of Ekklessia of Oklahoma and chairman of the Logan County GOP. We discuss what is happening in the Logan county, what Ekklesia has been doing over the last year, and what their primary focus is for 2023.
I also interviewed Leslie NesSmith, former cheif of staff for the Oklahoma Republican Party and co-founder of the OKGOP Action Team. She offers great insight into the republican process in Oklahoma and how to get involved!
Natalie and I continue our discussion about what's going on in Oklahoma. Bruno talks about her priorities: Healthcare (mental health), Education, and Criminal Justice Reform.
This was a great opportunity to sit down and chat with Natalie Bruno, libertarian candidate in the 2022 Oklahoma gubernatorial race. She discusses her positions and priorities and why she believes she is the best pick for Oklahoma governor.
Jenni White, former Mayor of Luther, scientist, school teacher, and founder of R.O.P.E. (rope2.org) sits down to talk about her deep dive into exposing "Dark Money" in Oklahoma politics
Jennie White is the former mayor Luther, OK, a scientist, former public school teacher, homeschool mom, and founder of R.O.P.E. (Reclaim Oklahoma Parent Empowerment).
During the latest Republican primary race in Oklahoma, we saw a show of force by Dark Money organizations in various malicious smear campaigns, including mine. 100's of thousands of dollars were spent to demonize candidates who dared to vote their conviction rather than cave to the Republican establishment agenda. After this primary race where many true conservatives were attacked resulting in their defeat, Jenni did a deep dive investigation into where this money is coming from and how it is influencing Oklahoma elections.
We just scratch the surface in our hour long conversation here, but take a look at her work on her website at rope2.org.
On episode 2 I take a look at some of the upcoming anti-abortion bills and resolutions I will be presenting. I also take some time to explain the abolitionist approach and why the traditional "pro-life" position simply will never work.
In this fist episode I give a brief introduction and overview of who I am what I believe. Then, I examine a recent survey sent out to people in my district.
