Jake for the State Podcast

On this episode of the Jake Merrick Show I have Brad Stine join me to talk about comedy, politics and people.  He tells how he got into comedy and why it was important to him to stay true to his faith and keep his stand up routines clean in the usually very raunchy world of comedy.  

Brad is very aware and informed about the current state of the country both politically and culturally, and he speaks boldly about the urgency of the day and why people better start getting involved in the solution before we lose our country all together.  

Brad Stine will be in Oklahoma City on March 17th to help raise funds for Americans for America. Tickets are on sale now and they are going fast! Go to the link below to reserve yours today!

I sit down with Bishop Charles Martin, pastor of All Nations Champion Church in Warr Acres, OK.  He pastors a multi-cultural church and has a great pulse on where we are as a culture and what is needed for peace and prosperity in this day. 

This is a special interview on Martin Luther King day. We take look at King's message, the impact he made, and how we can apply what he preached. 

We are nearing Christmas AND the upcoming legislative session in Oklahoma. A quick look at the most popular Christmas songs and some bills that I'm excited about! 

This is a "demo" show in preparation for the official launch of the Jake Merrick Show on 96.9FM.  

In this episode, I have the opportunity to chat with Scott Hasson who is running for Deer Creek School Board. He is a true patriot with rock solid conservative values. 

I also have a great discussion with Senator David Bullard about some upcoming legislation he has authored to ban sex reassignment procedures in Oklahoma for minors. 

This is a "practice show" done in preparation for the launch of the offical Jake Merrick Show on 96.9FM. 

During this show, I interview Kyle Brown, co-founder of Ekklessia of Oklahoma and chairman of the Logan County GOP.  We discuss what is happening in the Logan county, what Ekklesia has been doing over the last year, and what their primary focus is for 2023.

I also interviewed Leslie NesSmith, former cheif of staff for the Oklahoma Republican Party and co-founder of the OKGOP Action Team. She offers great insight into the republican process in Oklahoma and how to get involved! 

Natalie and I continue our discussion about what's going on in Oklahoma. Bruno talks about her priorities: Healthcare (mental health), Education, and Criminal Justice Reform.

This was a great opportunity to sit down and chat with Natalie Bruno, libertarian candidate in the 2022 Oklahoma gubernatorial race. She discusses her positions and priorities and why she believes she is the best pick for Oklahoma governor.

Jenni White, former Mayor of Luther, scientist, school teacher, and founder of R.O.P.E. (rope2.org) sits down to talk about her deep dive into exposing "Dark Money" in Oklahoma politics

On episode 2 I take a look at some of the upcoming anti-abortion bills and resolutions I will be presenting. I also take some time to explain the abolitionist approach and why the traditional "pro-life" position simply will never work.

In this fist episode I give a brief introduction and overview of who I am what I believe. Then, I examine a recent survey sent out to people in my district.
