Roundtown Revival

In this episode, Logan and Jules breakdown their thoughts on the 2024 election and what they think that the Democratic party should learn, but probably won't.

In this first episode back, The People's Himbo and Jules discuss Issue 1 in detail as early voting has begun. They cover in the episode what conservatives and pro-Issue 1 folks are saying, but they also try and counter some of these talking points with their takes.

They also briefly discuss a few other topics as well towards the beginning. Jules recently finished Destiny of the Republic, a book about James Garfield which lead to him discovering that Garfield was called "The Education President" because of his strong support for education and laying the groundwork for the Department of Education.

In this episode, we update the listeners on a few things  that we talked about in the last episode. Especially updates regarding HJR 6 and Erin's Law.  

In this episode, we talk about proposed changes to Ohio's Constitution that would make it so that a 60% threshold needs to be met in order for the ballot initiative to pass. There are a lot of groups across the political spectrum that have been opposed to this change. Since we recorded this episode, a substituted version of the bill has been put forward which also requires a 60% threshold on GA approved amendments to the constitution, not just to citizen led ballot initiatives.

Brian also mentions in the debate that we had a bipartisan commission to research this topic and they recommended a change to 55%. This is true. They also recommended that ballot initiatives be done on even years, when national and state races occur leading to bigger voter turnouts. Jules notes that he'd be willing to compromise for 55% and requiring initiatives only being placed on the ballot on even numbered years. It's also why he still objects the Ohio GOP's attempt to push this through on May 2023's ballot.

In this episode, we discuss some polling from Emerson College poll. The weird cult-like speech from Trump's rally for JD Vance in Youngstown and Christian Nationalism with the Watchman Decree.  We also briefly mention the furry panic.

In this episode, we cover a variety of topics like JD Vance coming to Pickaway County. Jules' big announcement that he's declared for write-in for Ohio District 12.  We cover the Dark Brandon speech as well as 1/6 hearings briefly.

In our fifteenth episode of Roundtown Revolt, we went through all of the amendments and discussed whether we would keep, amend, or repeal each amendment. (Starts around 40 minutes)

We also covered a few topics that were current news at the time of recording (Blame Jules for being slow at editing).

Man lit camper on fire and spray painted anarchist symbols on his garage was found guilty of insurance fraud.

Shinzo Abe was assassinated by a man because of Abe's connections to the Unification Church and his mother had made a lot of big donations to the Unification Church.

Boris Johnson resigned as Prime Minister (at the time of publication and editing Liz Truss is to replace Boris Johnson as Prime Minister).

Bring up the latest January 6th hearings. Mike Flynn pleading the fifth. What would have happened if "The Left" were to do 1/6. 

We recorded this special episode on June 24, 2022, the day that Roe V. Wade was overturned.  

In this episode, Logan and Jules took a spin on "Gods, Guns, and Country" to talk about a wide range of subjects from religion, to several gun related topics, and then they discussed several trans related issues. Especially ones related to Ohio.

Our first episode in our series of Perverts of Prominence, focuses on one of our favorite Founding Fathers, the pimp daddy himself, Benjamin Franklin.
