About this episode

Congressman Josh Burkeen discusses his recent experiences, including running across Oklahoma and attending events in Poteau. He emphasizes the need for a cultural shift in the country to honor law enforcement and highlights the improvements in border security under the current administration. Burkeen stresses the importance of completing the border wall construction and codifying it into law to prevent future administrations from dismantling it. The filibuster, an unintended rule change from 1806, should be reformed to a talking filibuster to restore the founders' intent of simple majority rule in the Senate. This would empower the majority to pass legislation, including the Secure America Act, and demonstrate to conservatives that their votes can lead to tangible results. Additionally, the Expedited Transparency Act aims to increase transparency in federal spending by requiring agencies to report allocations within three days. The original bill required a partisan approach to pass, but a bipartisan solution is needed to overcome the 60-vote threshold in the Senate.
