This week on the Oklahoma Memo Podcast, Ryan Welton sits down with congressional candidate John Croisant for a conversation that starts with sports and ends with a broader discussion about America's future.

The episode opens with reactions to the U.S. men's national team's World Cup performance and OU baseball's remarkable postseason run, before turning to several major policy issues affecting Oklahoma and the nation.

Topics include:

• The future of a bipartisan housing bill aimed at increasing affordable housing

• Why Oklahoma cities continue to face housing shortages

• Debate surrounding the SAVE Act and voting access

• Immigration policy and refugee protections

• Workforce concerns tied to healthcare and elder care

• The role faith, community and civic engagement play in public life

• The importance of political conversations focused on outcomes rather than ideology

• Looking ahead to America's 250th birthday and the 2026 election cycle
