    Ep.66 Europe on Fire; Becerra's Black Voter Problem

    Live show 10/19 Follow Kira on X @kiradavis IG @justkiradavis Orange Report on YT and IG @orangereportoc Enjoy this AI summary #europe #france #rights #xavierbecerra #blackvoters #elections # Everything's Coming to a Head: Insights from Kira Davis > A deep dive into societal issues and upcoming elections. Kira Davis opens her latest episode with a candid reflection on the current social climate, emphasizing that everything feels like it's coming to a head. She touches on significant global events while drawing parallels to the contentious midterm elections in the U.S. ## Global Tensions and Local Consequences Davis highlights the unrest in France and Italy, referencing President Trump's earlier warnings about the chaos in Europe. "Your countries are all going to hell," he said, and it seems those words ring truer by the day. The current midterm elections, described by Davis as potentially the most critical in her two decades of journalism, add to the urgency of the situation. ## A Personal Encounter During a recent gala for the Pacific Justice Institute, Davis faced a confrontational moment that encapsulates the rising tensions in society. A young man approached her, accusing her of being ashamed of herself due to the event's decorations. She recounts, "You don't know me like that. Get the F out." This moment serves as a microcosm of the larger societal issues at play, where civility seems to be diminishing. Davis reflects on the importance of standing up against disrespect and the need for individuals to defend their dignity. ## Societal Decline As Davis continues her monologue, she identifies a troubling trend: the decline of polite society. "We are developing a third world mentality about manners in public," she argues. This decline, she believes, is not just physical but moral and spiritual as well. It's a complex issue rooted in cultural values that, according to Davis, stem from Christianity. ## A Call for Revival In a compelling conclusion, Kira Davis calls for a Christian revival, emphasizing that the values derived from Christianity are essential for restoring a high-trust society. She asserts, "If we want to win this war, we also need to focus on our families, focus on our relationships with God, and focus on evangelizing the gospel." As we navigate these turbulent times, Kira Davis urges her listeners to reflect on the societal changes happening around us and the crucial role we all play in shaping the future. For more of Kira's insights, tune in to the full episode.

She contrasts this with the traditional Columbus Day, expressing her views on the historical narratives that are often contested and the motivations behind land acknowledgments. > "Today, I’d like to give a land acknowledgment to the people who came before us." ## The Controversy of Recognition Davis dives into the ongoing debates about identity and recognition. She poses a provocative question: can we truly unwind the narratives that have been shaped over centuries? She reflects on the misalignment of intentions behind land acknowledgments and how they often serve to soothe the oppressors rather than genuinely support Indigenous communities. ## The Role of Activism Kira shares her views on the role of activism in shaping these discussions, emphasizing the need for individuals to engage locally, particularly in areas like library boards, where decisions that impact community narratives are made. > "Look up who is on your library board.

    Ep.63 The creeping threat of Ranked Choice Voting with Jason Snead

    # Understanding the Controversy of Ranked Choice Voting From our August 31 broadcast with Honest Elections director Jason Snead honestlections.org X@jasonwsnead Enjoy this totally organic AI summary: #rankedchoicevoting #rcv #honestelections #jasonsnead In a candid conversation, Kira Davis welcomes Jason Snead, the executive director of the Honest Elections Project, to discuss pressing issues surrounding election integrity, particularly focusing on ranked choice voting and the legislative landscape in California. ## The Fight for Election Integrity Jason highlights his journey from the Heritage Foundation to leading the Honest Elections Project, driven by a deep concern for election integrity. He notes that before the 2020 election, it became evident that many common-sense reforms like voter ID and clean voter rolls were under attack from the left, who aimed to undermine the electoral process. > "They were using the courts to try to level down our nation's election integrity and really create a system where all of the rules were designed to fit hand in glove with the political machine that they wanted to use to win elections." — Jason Snead ## California's Election Landscape Kira and Jason dissect the challenges faced in California, where voting laws seem to favor a specific political agenda. Jason points out how laws that ban voter ID and allow unrestricted ballot harvesting create a landscape where election integrity is compromised. > "It's making the cheating legal, right? And if you can do that then it's not cheating anymore." — Jason Snead They emphasize that these rules not only disadvantage law-abiding candidates but also contribute to a perception of corruption in the electoral process. ## The Jungle Primary System The conversation shifts to California's jungle primary system, which Jason argues was created to favor left-leaning candidates. He reflects on how these electoral changes are designed to ensure that only certain candidates make it to the general election, often sidelining alternatives. "Those rules are not there for the benefit of voters. They are there to favor one party over the other." — Jason Snead ## The Case Against Ranked Choice Voting Kira raises a crucial topic that is gaining traction across the U.S.: ranked choice voting. Jason explains that this system fundamentally changes how votes are cast and counted, often leading to confusion among voters. > "A vote doesn't mean the same thing as you're going down that order of preference." — Jason Snead He warns that ranked choice voting can dilute individual votes and favor fringe candidates, ultimately skewing the electoral process. ## A Path Forward Despite the challenges, Jason encourages engagement with measures like the upcoming voter ID initiative in California, which aims to restore some common-sense safeguards in the election process. He believes that these efforts can empower voters to reclaim their rights. Reflecting on the conversation, it's clear that the integrity of our elections is paramount. The discussion serves as a reminder that understanding the electoral landscape is crucial, especially as new voting systems are introduced. For those interested in exploring these topics further, the full episode provides deeper insights into the complexities of election laws and their implications for democratic processes.

    Ep.62 I'll stop the payments to high speed rail boondoggle IMMEDIATELY with Herb Morgan

    My interview with candidate for California State Controller Herb Morgan on how to stop the fraud in California and what a State Controller actually does. Herbmorgan.com X and IG @Herb4controller Enjoy this totally organic AI summary: # Understanding the Role of California's State Controller > A deep dive into the often-overlooked office and its significance. In a recent conversation, Kira Davis and Herb Morgan shed light on a pivotal yet frequently misunderstood governmental position: the State Controller of California. This episode dives into why this role is crucial for preventing fraud and ensuring the proper management of taxpayer funds. ## What is a State Controller? Herb Morgan, who is running for the State Controller position, explained that many people are unaware of its importance. Unlike the state auditor, an employee who audits each agency, the State Controller has unlimited audit authority. This role is designed to safeguard taxpayer resources against fraud. > "The primary function of the state controller is to prevent fraud. It's not just a job; it's the reason the position was created." — Herb Morgan Morgan elaborated that the State Controller must pre-audit all state spending to verify its legality and compliance with the law. However, he argues that the current controller is failing in this duty, allowing entities to self-certify their spending without proper oversight. ## The Current Situation The conversation took a concerning turn as Morgan revealed that the current state controller, Malia Cohen, is accused of not conducting necessary pre-audits. He cited a video featuring a spokesperson for Cohen, who admitted that fraud is prevalent within the agencies and that audits are not being performed as required. > "Every day I see story after story about fraud in California government spending. It's not just the governor's job to stop it; it's the controller's job." — Herb Morgan Morgan highlighted that California has a history of fraud in government spending and emphasized that voters need to pay attention to this office on their ballots, as it directly impacts how taxpayer money is managed. ## A Call to Action As Kira pointed out, this office is often overlooked by voters, yet its impact is significant. The conversation encourages listeners to educate themselves about the State Controller's role and to consider the implications of electing someone who will effectively safeguard taxpayer funds. In closing, this episode serves as a reminder that understanding our government, down to its most obscure offices, is crucial for holding leaders accountable. For those interested in learning more, this episode provides a deep dive into the realities of California's fiscal management and the vital importance of the State Controller role.

    Ep.61 Jennifer Newsom's Creepy 'Social Health Council' with Katy Grimes

    From our Sept.8 broadcast with California Globe reporter Katy Grimes X @KatySACcitizen californiaglobe.com Enjoy this AI show description: #katygrimes #jennifersiebelnewsom #gavinnewsom #californiafraud Welcome back to a fresh exploration of California politics with Kira Davis and journalist Katy Grimes. Today, they tackle a surprisingly contentious issue: the newly established Social Health Council aimed at addressing loneliness in the state. ## The Council of Eggheads Katy Grimes, editor-in-chief of the California Globe, sheds light on this initiative led by the governor's wife, dubbed the "first partner." The council, set up to combat a loneliness epidemic exacerbated by the pandemic, has sparked skepticism. As Katy notes, this council is filled with state leaders and bureaucrats who may lack the real-world experience needed to tackle such a personal issue. > "The social health council brings together leaders across sectors... to develop recommendations to strengthen opportunities for California to build meaningful connections." But what about the loneliness felt by the schoolchildren who were locked down for years during the pandemic? Katy critiques the hypocrisy of a council formed by those who have lived insulated lives while the rest suffered. ## A Question of Motives The conversation dives deeper into the motives behind this council. Katy questions whether this initiative is a genuine attempt to address social issues or simply another governmental overreach. With the World Health Organization's involvement, the council seems to replicate a model already discredited by many. Kira Davis emphasizes the absurdity of government creating problems just to address them later, highlighting the irony of launching a program to solve the loneliness epidemic that many believe was intensified by restrictive policies. ## The Bigger Picture As they discuss, Katy shares insights on how this council might just serve as a funding pass-through for NGOs and nonprofits tied to political allies. The alarming trend of taxpayer money disappearing into black holes raises red flags for both journalists and citizens. Kira and Katy also touch on the recent scandal known as "Diapergate," where state funds were directed to a nonprofit with questionable impact, further illustrating the concerning relationship between funding and political favoritism. > "Every time California state taxpayer money goes to these nonprofits, it's a black hole. We can't trace it after that." - Katy Grimes ## Conclusion This episode highlights the urgent need for accountability in California's political landscape. As Kira and Katy unearth these layers of bureaucracy, they remind us that transparency and active engagement are essential in addressing not just loneliness, but the broader issues impacting our communities. Join Kira and Katy for a lively discussion that challenges the status quo and demands answers. If you’re curious about the details of this council and what it means for California, listen to the full episode for an in-depth analysis.

    Ep.59 Dire warnings about Ranked Choice Voting with Jason Snead

    TOR live show 8/31 Jason Snead - Executive Director of Honest Elections - joins Kira to talk about a new tactic to make an end run around voters...Ranked Choice Voting Ranked choice voting (RCV), also called instant-runoff voting (IRV) in single-winner races, lets voters rank candidates by preference instead of picking only one. Voters list candidates in order (1st choice, 2nd choice, 3rd choice, etc.). They can rank as many or as few as they want; they do not have to rank everyone.First-choice votes are counted first. If one candidate has more than 50% of first-choice votes, they win immediately.If no one has a majority, the candidate with the fewest first-choice votes is eliminated. Ballots that ranked the eliminated candidate first are then transferred to those voters’ next-ranked remaining candidate.The process repeats in rounds until one candidate has a majority of the remaining active ballots.Ranking additional candidates does not hurt a voter’s first choice. A vote only moves to a later preference after the higher-ranked candidate is eliminated. Each ballot still counts as only one vote.There is also a multi-winner version (proportional RCV or single transferable vote) used to elect several seats at once so representation more closely matches voter support.RCV is used in places such as Alaska (statewide general elections), Maine (certain federal and primary races), New York City, San Francisco, Minneapolis, and dozens of other U.S. cities.
