A lot is going on in the world. We asked you, the viewers, to ask us questions, and you did. This is a very interesting and thought-provoking conversation.

At the very least, this interview will inspire you. People in Washington State are fighting the system to keep dangerous sexual predators from being able to move into their neighborhood. You may think this rarely happens, but what you are about to learn is that it happens more than you think.

Coos Bay and North Bend are the largest metropolitan areas on the Oregon Coast. One of the big draws is fishing. A local group of women works to ensure the fleet is safe, well taken care of, and they fight to keep up with legislation that threatens the industry.

Commercial Huckleberry pickers and those who make a living off the industry are upset with the Forest Service. The agency is cutting them out of the business but allowing local tribes to harvest. It's a touchy subject, but one we think people should know and talk about.

Former Portland Trailblazer Chris Dudley is running for Governor in Oregon. He talks about why he's back for a second game, what he thinks of sanctuary status, the MODA center and most of the hotbed issues in the state.

Alex Newman is an author, journalist, and writer. He's not afraid to talk about world affairs, and he knows things because he does his research. He's been banned on YouTube and Facebook but keeps speaking out. Expect to hear what he thinks of the Iran war, Epstien and other world events.

This was one of our you-and-me series. Just you and me talking about the news of the day, politics, and on this episode...condoms.

The Springfield School Board is a mess. One board member left a few weeks ago. After getting rave reviews last year, the superintendent resigned last week, and there's a lot of secrecy and questions about the board right now. We talk with the lone board member who seems to be on the outs with the others. Plus, Oregon's death tax is horrible. There are efforts to change that, but until that happens, what do you do? An expert talks about it.
