David Holt

The Oklahoma City Council unanimously approved a resolution designating every second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples Day.

Since 2018, Mayor David Holt, an Osage citizen, has formally proclaimed Indigenous Peoples Day on that date, but this resolution makes it mayor-proof.

Sarah Adams is a citizen of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and has worked with other community members for over a decade to make this happen.

It is significant because it is on Columbus Day.

I've got good news for you.

Mayor David Holt put out today that he can finally confirm that they are in very active conversations with Buc-ee's about their first location in Oklahoma City and the state of Oklahoma, which will be located at I-40 in Cimarron Road in West OKC.

So Buc-ee's, sounds like it's close to coming to West OKC.

Interesting.

And, um, and then also, uh, um, You know, Congress people, Joe Manchin came on the show, Senator Joe Manchin.

And then, you know, guys like David Holt, who is the mayor of Oklahoma City, past president of the Conference of Mayors.

And I had I got to tell you about one person.

Her name is Becca Bixler.

This is where they work.

This is what they care about.

You know, I mentioned him before, David Holt is the mayor of Oklahoma City.

You know, he wants to make Oklahoma City great.

The monuments, artistic homages to original Route 66 signage, are 16 feet tall and lit from within.

Mayor David Holt described the artwork as striking, impossible to miss, and fitting landmarks for the Mother Road as it passes through OKC.

32 similar monuments can be found across Route 66 landmarks from California to Illinois, all designed by OKC-based studio Vox Audiovisual and Oklahoma artist Stan Carroll.

Funding for the monuments comes from MAPS IV beautification funds, costing the city $132,000 from its tax-funded improvement program.

Consumer advocates say consumers are already being squeezed by higher prices caused by other factors like inflation before diesel prices started spiking this year.

Since early 2021, American consumers have seen their family budgets getting squeezed more and more, David Holt, president of the Houston, Texas-based Consumer Energy Alliance, which lobbies for energy policies that benefit customers, said in a statement.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, well.

Okay.

David Holt.

Yeah.

He's a really good friend of mine.

in the, in the, in the primaries.

So, um, but he's done some work there being in, specifically in Oklahoma City.

David Holt is incredible.

Yeah.

Well, we're gonna get into a lot of that, but first let's go through some of these Republicans who are sounding the alarm.

Per Politico, Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt says, "What Trump is doing inside the border seems to be not working." New Jersey Republican Jose Arango from a heavily Latino area says, "We're losing in the public relations campaign." House Republican Glenn Grothman suggests that the latest ICE shooting is murder.

And Texas Governor Greg Abbott, of all people, says it's time to recalibrate.

Jen, Republicans are violating Trump's first commandment, which is that you always portray Trump as formidable and dominant, and never admit Trump is on the losing side of anything.
