The Will Rogers Experiment - Walters sends in a PR Person in Place of a Lawyer

This week on The Will Rogers Experiment, Kit Fairchild and Sean Cummings talk about the state of the Oklahoma Department of Education as more than 130+ employees have voluntarily resigned leaving a PR person and OCPA representative Lindsey McSparrin, to act as a lawyer in place of the legal team that left the OSDE... The whole team... As well as our take on the strategic blunder (or is it?) of Iran sending in 200 drones and missiles only to see 198 of them get shot down before they even made it to Israel.

Across the Desk - S9:E12 (Abortion - The Winning Issue for Democrats)

This week on Across the Desk, Kit Fairchild talks about how abortion has been the Republican white whale. As now that they have caught him, they seem to be going down with the ship. We have seen in the past week a Legislator's seat in deep red Alabama go to the Democrat by a margin on 25 points and all because she ran on the IVF & abortion issue. As well as the Arizona Supreme Court ruling that set abortion back to the Civil War era in that state and now Republicans can't seem to run away from abortion, as well as judges they appointed, as the polling shows a resounding favor for legal abortion and maternity care, including birth control. Combine that with the fact that Republicans have poor messaging on the subject if not out right mixed messaging as they don't seem to have a unified message, much less a plan, to address the abortion debate.

The Will Rogers Experiment w/ Sean Cummings & Kit Fairchild

The Will Rogers Experiment podcast - Conservative Values of the Childish, Crass, and Corrupt

This week on The Will Rogers Experiment Sean Cummings and Kit Fairchild discuss the current state of Conservative Values® when it comes to a County Commissioner, Kirk Painter, who was caught on a hot mic claiming to use his office to harm or do nothing for his districts citizens registered to the Democratic party. The petty display by Ryan Walters and Dan Isset as they actually tie extension cords to the doors of the Oklahoma Department of Education building to block people from the building and issue an idle threat of breaking curfew for waiting to get one of 10 speaking spots for the monthly meeting. We also talk about the decline of OCPAC as the conservative extremist PAC has to 'rebrand' as they have seemed to lose their flavor and Dusty Deevers, a.k.a. 'Dirk Diggler', as he has been pretty quite after his failed stunts on the floor of the Senate and the repercussions to not working well with others.

S9:E10 (The Corruption of Ryan Walters)

This week on Across the Desk, Kit Fairchild shift from the Oklahoma Legislature and the extreme bills that were introduced this session to Ryan Walters. It seems polling numbers came out showing that he is losing support fast.. Among Republicans!! .. And his cronies can't rebut fast enough to claim fake news, fake media, and 'mobs' of liberals.. on top of childish and petty antics before the last Oklahoma Department of Education meeting where they confiscated chairs, a memorial to Cathy Cummings, and tied the doors shut with electrical cords.. As well as the contrast between Sean Cummings raising over $70K in his late wife's name to pay off school lunch debt as compared to Ryan Walters spending $70K of taxpayer money on his own public relations and paying to get on national news instead of where it should go.. To our kid's education.. But even better yet is the contrast between Ryan having to pay our education money to get national exposure and Sean Cummings getting it for free from ABC News for giving away money he has raised to kids to pay off their lunch debt...

S9:E9 (Christian Nationalist Throwing Fits & Tantrums)

This week on Across the Desk, Kit Fairchild talks about the drama in the Oklahoma Senate that happened when Dusty Deevers and Nathan Dahm filibustered on the floor of the Oklahoma Senate. Why did they throw a fit and a tantrum upon the floor? Because none of the bills they introduced this Session made it out of committee. So since they didn't get out to the floor of the Senate, Dusty and Nathan thought it a good idea to hold up everyone else's bills by taking up the last part of the Session to filibuster and causing some of the bills before the Senate not to be heard. It's petty, it's childish, somewhat cowardly, and no way to build a coalition for the future.
