Matt Mayer is still considering & exploring whether or not to he will run for Governor of Ohio in 2026. In this part of my conversation, we start out by discussing the Republican state central committee Ohio has in Ohio politics. Has Ohio's economy & job sector fully recovered from the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic? Matt Mayer answers that question along with what are his thoughts on how Ohio's governor and administration allow residents in Ohio to have medical freedom. What should the average American think of Senator Mitch McConnell's situation that allowed people to think he's no longer fit to serve as a Senator from Kentucky in the U.S. Senate? We discuss that question as well as other issues relating to Ohio politics & national politics.

Matt Mayer is still considering & exploring whether or not he will run for Governor of Ohio in 2026. He gives an update on the status of his possible Gubernatorial campaign in 2026'. Matt Mayer believes in Ohio, where the governor speaks so often you get tired of hearing the Governor speak about the modern day statewide political issues. Mayer explains the economic policy often referred to as the "Right to Work", and goes in detail why the Right to Work economic policy is so beneficial to Ohio's economy. Mayer also believes that on August 8th, 2023 Issue 1 in Ohio was rejected because it wasn't explained thoroughly to Ohio voters and they rushed Issue 1 to the voters.

Senator Mitch McConnell has been a United States Senator representing the people of Kentucky since 1984. McConnell is currently serving his 7th six year term as a Senator in the U.S. Senate. There are more and more questions arising about his health & ability to serve in the Senate because he has had two incidents this year where he froze up when he was speaking to reporters. Senator McConnell is 81 years old and is one of the least liked & unpopular Senators in the Senate. He is not the only member of the U.S. Senate whose health and ability to serve have been questioned this year.

Whoever wins the White House in November of 2024 will be important because that person Republican or Democrat could nominate possibly two Supreme Court Justices during their presidential term. That is if Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito were to retire in the near future after the 2024 presidential election. If Democrats and Republican registered voters hear about these rumors, then voters should be more eager and ready to vote for their preferred 2024' Presidential candidate in next years presidential primaries in their home state. If I was a Republican or Democratic Presidential candidate, I would be talking to voters about what kind of Supreme Court justice I would nominate if given the chance. The stakes in the 2024' Presidential election are high since there's older justices on the high court of the United States that could retire in the near future.

Current United States President Joe Biden announced on April 25th, 2023 that he is running for re-election seek another four year term as President of the U.S. It is likely that the 2024' U.S. Presidential election could be another re-match between Biden & Trump. However, that could change depending on if a Republican Presidential Candidate beats Trump in the Presidential Primaries next year. There have been more Democrats and Republicans who recently announced their official Democratic or GOP Presidential bids such as RFK jr, Larry Elder, and Asa Hutchinson. This is why I updated the list of Presidential candidates in today's episode. Is President Joe Biden too old to be re-elected to another four year term as President? Or is his age not a problem for voters in next year's presidential election? We will certainly decide that for sure next year.

On April 4th, 2023 Former President Trump had his arraignment in the Manhattan DA's office and a Manhattan courthouse building where he surrendered and was arrested. Trump pleaded not guilty to the 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the hush money scheme he was indicted for. He will be going to trial on December 4th, 2023 which is right before the Republican Presidential primaries start. These developments are the latest in Trump's latest legal battles after being indicted and having his arraignment on April 4th, 2023. In other political news President Biden recently told NBC News White House Correspondent Al Roker that he plans on running for re-election but says he will announce his re-election plans very soon. Why is President Biden delaying his official re-election announcement? Is it because he is trying to announce his plans for re-election for a second four year presidential term when the time is right? Or is Biden uncertain of when he should announce his re-election plans?

Georgia's Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is leading a effort by House Republicans for a visit by supposedly any member of Congress who desires to see all of the jailed January 6th 2021 Insurrection attack suspects in the Washington D.C. jail where the suspects who participated in the January 6th are being held. Since the House Republicans have full control of the House of Representatives chamber of Congress, they as in republicans should be prioritizing their time in the House with passing and enacting important pieces of legislation that will improve the lives of everyday Americans. Also, on March 6th, 2023 Tucker Carlson on Fox News Channel on his show Tucker Carlson Tonight showed never before seen surveillance footage from the January 6th, 2021 U.S. Capitol Insurrection and attack and not to anyone's surprise there's been a lot of pushback against Tucker Carlson.

Representative George Santos who is a member of the House of Representatives, and who represents New York's 3rd district is an embattled and frankly an embarrassment to the Republican Party as a brand has not resigned from Congress. Ever since he was elected to represent a New York District in the House chamber in November 2022, he has been caught lying about his personal and financial background. We have yet to see whether or not the House Ethics Committee will file a report from a investigation on Santos recommending he should or should not be charged for financial and other crimes.

On January 3rd, 2023 all of the House members-elect are brought in to the House of Representatives chamber to elect their new Speaker of the House for the newly elected 118th session of Congress. The House members-elect are not even sworn in through their oath to the constitution until after they elect a Speaker of the House chamber. No official business of the House chamber is even allowed to proceed on until a new House Speaker is chosen by a majority of the House Representatives within the Majority party. Now Kevin McCarthy has to make sure he has enough Republican members-elect to receive the 218 votes needed to become the newly elected Speaker of the House of Representatives chamber. There has been speculation going around since after the 2022 November Midterm election that some Republicans do not support Representative Kevin McCarthy's expected Speaker of the House bid. Everyone will have to find out if Kevin McCarthy receives enough votes to become the Speaker of the House of Representatives chamber on January 3rd, 2023. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nrodyunknown/message

Former United States national security advisor to Former President Donald Trump John Bolton is weighing whether he should run for President in 2024. If he were to run for the Republican Presidential nomination, would it be to stop Trump from returning to the Oval Office again? How would Bolton campaign as a new first time political candidate for President? Does Bolton have the name recognition and popularity that GOP or Republican stars like DeSantis, Youngkin, and Trump have? If he does, then how will he turn his popularity and name recognition into a well-grounded Presidential campaign? We will have to find out sometime in the next two years.

In today's episode I have a friend of mine join me to talk and discuss about today's Georgia Senate Runoff election between Herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock. This 2022 Georgia Senate Runoff election is happening because neither candidate received fifty percent or more of the vote on November 8th, 2022. Candidates in the state of Georgia have to receive fifty percent and more of the vote tally in their race in order to avoid a runoff. Herschel Walker is the Republican Senate candidate, while the Democratic incumbent Senator of Georgia is Raphael Warnock. Raphael Warnock is looking to secure his first full six year term in the Senate after he won a two year term in the Senate back in 2020. My friend and I answer some of the questions that voters might be considering about this Georgia Senate election contest. All of this and more in this podcast episode.

Today's House Speaker Nancy pelosi announced on November 17th, 2022 in a speech on the House of Representatives floor that she is not seeking re-election to a leadership role in the house chamber of Congress. She will be allowing a new generation of Democrats to lead the Democratic Representatives in the house chamber for future generations to come. Pelosi has served as House minority whip, House minority leader, and Speaker of the House in multiple non-consecutive terms when being serving as Speaker of the House. If anything, she has always been a force to wrecken with in politics metaphorically of course. She might eventually retire from Congress, therefore letting a new person represent her San Francisco House Congressional district. But that's not quite happening yet. Pelosi is a great highly respected figure of American Politics, even though she can be divisive to some in America.
