We destroy Mike Turner’s sad prosecutor cosplay as he attempted to impress Trump by fake-cross examining the most revered law enforcement figure in recent Republican history. Crimes against the English language are exposed, and will certainly be referred to the thesaurus for prosecution – wait, we mean, pursuance. We also talk about Turner’s vote against even a gradual minimum wage hike, despite evidence that it would be a tremendous boon to workers. So Dayton declares him NOT EXONERATED from keeping his foot on the neck of working families who are way past due for government to start working for them.

We cover an insanely busy week for the Mike Turner Action Figure in this extended episode, from House votes on the defense budget and election security, concentration camps and attempted changes in asylum policy, as well as the Dayton Lights for Liberty vigil where the region stood strong against the Republican's inhuman treatment of migrants. This is all topped off by Mike Turner's invaluable assistance in officially enabling the new era of open racism in the Republican Party.

Happy 4th of July! We couldn't think of a better day to launch (detonate?) our actual first episode, as we reflect on where the United States is on its birthday. Avian, Rocky and Rufus discuss Congressman Mike Turner missing at an important recent Greene County tornado relief update meeting that was attended by Senator Rob Portman among others. But we spend a lot of time talking about the recent revelations of the terrible conditions that migrants and asylum seekers on the southern are being kept in after a Congressional delegation visited two of those facilities this week.

This has made lots of national news, of course, but we discuss how important it is to put pressure on your local Congressperson and Senators to bring these people out of these conditions. For those in OH-10: call Mike Turner today and let him know that he has to speak forcefully against all of this. We can change these condition. We can close these camps if we become heard and seen. Let's celebrate the country's independence the right way.
