Summary

The state of Oklahoma will no longer use tax dollars to fund PBS after it aired children's content highlighting sexual orientation and gender. The decision is one being debated around the country, as recent polling shows that many Americans are concerned about a number of cultural issues like transgender rights or trans athletes in sports. Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt joins the podcast to break down his decision to end state funding for PBS after seeing what he called ‘problematic content.’ Later, he discusses his state's recent legislation banning gender-affirming care for minors and what issues will be top of mind as we head closer toward the 2024 presidential election. The Biden administration is facing two issues that have Americans’ full attention and concern. The first is coming to an agreement to address the looming debt ceiling, where already strained negotiations have been delayed. The second is the expiration of Title 42, a pandemic-era border policy that has just been lifted by the Biden administration, which experts expect to bring upon a massive increase in illegal border crossings. Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream joins the podcast to discuss where the Democrats and Republicans disagree on debt ceiling negotiations, whether the Biden administration could use the 14th Amendment to resolve the issue, and the consequences of the expiration of Title 42. Plus, commentary by former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
