In the very first episode of Back to Basics, host Jeff Helfrich sits down with Oregon State Senator Mike McLane for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about service, values, and leadership in today's America.
They dive into their shared small-town roots, military service, and how their lives shaped their view of government. Mike shares what it’s like being a Republican in a Democrat-majority state—and how he still finds ways to get things done.
Together, they tackle the erosion of trust during COVID, the rise of cancel culture, and why it’s time to return to the foundational principles of the rule of law and limited government. This episode sets the tone for the series: honest talk, real stories, and a focus on what matters most.
