Transcript
- riverside ep.69 midterms were a shellacking, here's your co the orange report: Well, hello everybody. Welcome back to my podcast. I'm Kira Davis. We're broadcasting live to X right now. YouTube, Facebook. Follow me everywhere. Follow me on X at Kira Davis. Follow me on Instagram at just Kira Davis. Let's break down this election. I know a lot of you are waiting to hear, you know, what I have to say. And you know, we have to start out by stating the obvious last night was a disaster for Republicans in America. And particularly here in California, it was the governor's race and that whole ticket. That was a that was a blow. That was a blow. I what happened what is going on here in California is a little different than what's going on in the nation. So I'm gonna start with national elections. Okay. And then I'm gonna Tell you a little bit about what I think is happening here in California. There's a lot of autopsies flying around today. How did this happen? Texas has flipped blue. Listen, I don't think Texas is blue. Ohio has flipped blue. I don't think Ohio is blue. I don't think they have flipped, but I do think that there's a realignment happening there for sure. When it comes to Texas, I I think that, and I said this yesterday, even before we went to the polls, that. The Texas Republicans are far too comfortable. w everyone talks about Texas it's just the greatest thing and and because they have guns, then there it needs no other defense. It's solid red. You never have to worry about Texas. And that's clearly not true. Ken Paxon has come out today and he said, Look, I think there are some election anomalies. I don't think that Tal Rico won all these things and I believe that's true too. There's a lot of conservative pundits out there who don't want to go to voter fraud. They feel uncomfortable with talking about the voter fraud. They think that it doesn't really matter because at the end of the day, if your voters aren't getting out, then what does the fraud matter? But it does matter. And I'm gonna tell you why and that's why it matters here in really this is our big problem in California too. It does matter and we should not pretend we shouldn't pretend that this is all of the other things, right? Which we'll talk about. But here in California, I believe this is the case, and I believe this is the case across the country. If voters do not feel like you are fighting for their vote, that you are fighting for their vote to to count, they're not going to turn out. So it's both. It's a turnout issue, but also it's a discouragement issue. It's a depression issue, right? The the the Republican vote is depressed and in a lot of areas they feel like there's so much cheating and we haven't seen a lot of movement on the fraud front yet. Not a lot, not a lot publicly. they don't feel like they're being fought for. And they're responding to that. the the turnout, you're not going to get people out to the polls if they feel like you're not going to fight on the right, tooth and nail, for their vote to count. So I do think it is important to talk about the fraud. And it is important to dig into it. I don't think that's sour grapes. And I would encourage every Republican to Take that very seriously and start launching investigations. And now that the elections are done, now you have the data, right? That was the other thing. And that's this that's what the DOJ was saying about California. Look, there's only so much we can do until ballots are cast, because that's the data. So now we have some data out there, and we should not leave that data on the table just because everyone's pissed at Trump today. I mean, go ahead and do that, be be mad. I'll Talk about that in a second, but this voter fraud data, this is important. This is an important battle. in Los Angeles, we still use the smartmatic ballot machines. Why? Why? It's totally corrupt. Nothing should be online. We have acquiesced to this left-wing idea of a month of elections, of early voting, of mail-in ballots. We have acquiesced and we have never fought back. We have never fought back properly against that. We've just accepted, we've rolled over time after time. Again, this is a leadership problem. We have a leadership problem and a culture problem in the Republican Party. Now, let me just get to Trump really quick, because I actually don't want to spend a lot of time on him today. I think he did crap the bet on this. I think people were were very willing to go along with whatever discomfort there would be for this Iran war. But we didn't want it to be a war. We wanted it to be an action and done. And Gen X especially is exhausted. And Gen Z has has has known little life without conflict, and they're exhausted. They don't want war. They don't want to go to war. They don't want to be conscripted for war. They are exhausted too. So Gen Z's disaffected. I don't know. I don't have any data on the millennials. And I know that Gen X has only is only now being activated. That happened in twenty four. We have a Gen X cabinet and that's been great for us so far. But Gen X has not properly stepped. We're still running boomers. We're still running a lot of boomers. And now the millennials are coming up. And Gen X is still this sandwich generation, right? I do see Gen X maybe getting a little saltier in the next few years. But we didn't want it either. We grew up with war. We're the we're the Iraq war kids and we're the Afghanistan kids and we're tired too. And now we have kids and we don't want to send our kids to war. Right. The whole point of peace through strength is peace, right? And so we showed strength in Iran, but we did not finish that job. And you saw, I don't know if you saw this today, but JD Vance let one fly, which I can only imagine what's going on behind closed doors at the White House today, to be a fly on the wall. And boy, I've never been more pleased to not work in DC politics. I would hate to be in the White House right now. But J D Vance said, Yeah, it was the war and I think he nailed it. And I know that people are feeling a little nervous about J D 'cause it it feels like maybe he's anti Israel. He's really quiet about this, quiet about his Tucker associations. I I don't know what judgment to make on that. I'll be honest with you, and I I actually don't have not cared very much. but Regardless of where he stands on Israel, he is not wrong about the Iran war. It was okay to go in and crush this. And we may not know really how valuable it was, what Trump has done in Iran for many years to come. But we needed to finish it. And we were promised that it would be finished. And everyone said you need to finish it by midterms, and we need to see these gas prices going down. If you've got to release strategic oil reserves, you gotta do that. That's the game. And I don't think Trump bel I think Trump believed more in the power of Trump than the power of prices. As a matter of fact, let's pull up Jesse Kelly's post number two, Scott. Excuse me. Okay. So Jesse Kelly, today he's d by the way, if you don't follow Jesse Kelly, you should I used to be on his show all the time. He doesn't invite me anymore. I'm not sure if he's mad at me, but it doesn't matter. go ahead and expand that, Scott, so I can just read off the screen. Thank you. So this is what Jesse Kelly says. Trump did do some things he campaigned on. The problem is he lost sight of the main reason he's now the president. Prices. That's why he's there. And if that's not why you're there, the one thing you absolutely positively and if that's not why you're there, the one thing you positively cannot do is something to raise prices. Thank you. And that is absolutely true. MAGA came out for Trump because we believe in America first. We believe in the America First agenda, right? But MAGA's only the base. The rest of America came out for Trump and gave him that mandate because they didn't like the direction of the country and they didn't like the prices and they didn't like how hard life was getting. And so if you go into a midterm and life is still hard, yeah, that that middle, that soft middle, is going to turn. They're not ideologues. They're not ideologues. Doug says, yet Donald J. Trump after after the statement went public, he said JD Vance was correct in his statements, including reducing aid to Israel. Thanks for pointing that out, Doug. He did. He did say that this morning. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that, but he did say that. And I do think JD was right. And he's not different than a lot of us out here who have been saying we need to wrap it up. And I was really sure that Trump was smart enough to wrap it up. But I do in the end, I think Trump is a pacifist. He is not a wartime president. He doesn't like war and he wants the art of the deal to run everything. And sometimes you just need that iron fist. And there are some places in our culture where Trump has dropped that iron fist on the border, you know, but in other places it's eluded him for some reason. And I just I don't know the man personally, so I can't comment on that. But There's no doubt that, we're we're tired. The American people are tired. And I don't think that last night was a mandate for the DSA or a mandate for Democrats. I think last night was an exhausted electorate who did not come out to support the MAGA agenda. And I don't think I've that's sour grapes either. I I truly believe that. And there's the soft middle And I'm not saying you have we have to move to the center. That's not what I'm saying. The sa I'll explain. I did a live on my Instagram last night, really quick before I went to bed, just to get some stuff out. Tish Hyman, who was running for mayor in Los Angeles against Spencer Pratt and the others, and she lost obviously too, but she's become a great advocate for girls and women's rights. And she hopped on there in the comments and she said, Kira, California voters are dummies. What do we do with the dummies? And I said, yes, there's a lot of dummy voters in America. But the good news about dummies is that they're easily led. We call that the soft middle, but oftentimes we respond to the soft middle by trying to move to the middle, by trying to move center. But that's not what the dummy voters want. They want leadership because they're too stupid to lead themselves, right? They are not self-starters. They're not great thinkers. And that sounds insulting. I'm salty today, so everything comes out of my mouth. It's probably gonna sound insulting. But I think it's just a harsh reality of of society in general. I'm I'm I'm reading through the Old Testament. I I probably bring it up every show. I'm reading through the Old Testament, and Israel in the Old Testament, the it was the greatest nation, came from one man, Abraham, one man of faith, launched this whole nation and through all of the battles and the different progressions into the promised land, God would raise those people up. He would give them what he needed. And then without fail, they would experience a period of time, months, years, and they would forget. They would forget what God did. They would forget what the mission was and they would fall back into idol worship and fall back into their old ways like they were when they were slaves. And then every time God would have to come in and say, Okay, I'm going to hand you over to your enemies then because you don't You don't get it. You don't trust me. But those those people, what would happen is whenever Moses would take off for a little bit, he had to go up on the mountain for 40 days, or he had to go up. Some people say there were times when he was gone, maybe for years. who's to say? We don't really have all that. But he would go up and he would leave and the people would fall back, right? Those are the dummy loaders. They're the dumb when he was there, they'd be right on target, right on program. In fact, when Moses died. And he handed over you know, the the reins to Caleb and to Joshua. You know, that was one of the things he said. You must lead. And I'm I'm installing you as the leader because the people will need a leader. And he made a big announcement. He said, These this these are the guys you're gonna follow when I'm gone. And Joshua did the same thing when he was in his final days. These are the men you will follow. But if you move into judges, you see that they did not, that sometimes God installed leaders. That would be wise and just, and the nation of Israel would live in peace for a while, and then he would allow corrupt leaders because the that they had not turned to God, they had just turned to man. And because God does not ever forget his promises, he would always offer relief and comfort, but it's always temporary if the people don't come along. So, anyway, all that to say that the dummy middle is winnable, but it's not winnable by moving to the center. And I no longer believe this. I I actually I actually spent five years on a podcast called Just Listen to Yourself, trying to persuade people, talking about issues from both sides of the fence, giving conservatives a reason to see the anger on the other side and to respond appropriately, to maybe open themselves to different kinds of solutions. After Charlie couldn't do that podcast anymore. I actually have no interest in persuasion. I want to encourage you though to become a persuader. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm just saying I personally don't have the stomach for it anymore. I guess this is my Gen X coming out. But But I do think that what the dummy middle, the soft middle needs is leadership. It's one of the things they responded to in Trump 2.0 and 1.0, right? Unapologetic, hardcore, blatantly honest, uncomfortably honest, maybe not the most verbose. You know, people liked that. Even the in it and that sheer projection of leadership and confidence was enough. To pull people over who don't even like Republicans, who don't even like conservatives. That's the soft middle, right? They responded to a hard personality. And that's where we're going here. That's where I think if that's what America is screaming for is leadership at the end of the day. And Republicans have not provided it. Trump has provided it. And let me caution you, by the way, I know you're mad at him today, and for good reason. And we'll see how it shakes out in a year from now or two. But at this moment, he's the last thing standing between us and utter chaos. So not pretty, but it is what it is. that's our guy now. It really is our guy. And so we really are gonna need him. As as strange as that sounds, I I I don't think he played this midterm correctly or the war in Iran correctly. Then the flip side of that is it's him or bust at this point, at least for the next two years. So keep that in mind as we move forward. I think America is screaming for for blatant and deliberate leadership for people who are clear about what they want and where they want to go. I talked with Tony Katz this morning and one of the things he said is I don't think the messaging was very clear on Iran and gas prices. You know, they didn't mm give give us a timeline. Be clear. Instead it was like, no, you're seeing the wrong things. And I actually believe we were. I do think that there is something to be said about the media conspiracy here and the polling conspiracy. I don't wanna I don't wanna belittle that. I I do think there's something to be said for that. But again, like if you're in the fight, then you have to take the fight for what it is. Okay. It's not gonna do any good to complain. How do you counter counter message? Memes were really fun in the days following 24, and I think they were effective in messaging, but somewhere along the way, it we decided we needed a little more than memes, right? We needed some really quality messaging. He has some good messengers out there. He has some good spokespersons, but I don't think we had the messaging apparatus under control. This is again why I keep telling you, Gen Z great for the tech. And the creativity, but they don't have the experience to lead. So if you're handing over the messaging to Gen Z, they don't have the benefit. And this is not a, they're a stupid thing. Not at all. Not at all. They don't have the experience. They don't have 20, 30, 40 years of elections behind them to know how electoral politics works, to read the tea leaves, to read the data, to just have the experience to to Feel out the ebb and the flow of the American voter. They don't have that experience. And so when you just hand over the reins of messaging to them, it can only take you so far. So we've got to figure out a way to get Gen Z hooked into normal excuse me, normal Gen Z hooked into Gen X. That's probably a powerful converse combination that could change the world, in my opinion. But we need to figure that out. Alpha's coming up behind Gen Z, and they're probably going to be the worst, actually, because I think Alpha. Pretty far to the right in a way that we might not like. but we they they didn't message it correctly. And I I agree with Tony on that. Perhaps Americans would have been more open to hanging on a little bit longer if they had messaged it properly, instead of them constantly telling us, Look, everything's going great. Look at all these metrics over here. Sure, the metrics are we had the best GDP last month that we've had since we elected Trump. I mean, it's amazing. It's an amazing GDP number. But if people aren't feeling it in their pocketbooks and really that's at the gas pump because that affects everything, then you're gonna pay the price. So I think Jesse Kelly nailed it there. And I think I I think I do agree with him. I agree that the war has cost us. And this may cost us the next six years. And I know a lot of you are asking, do we have six years? That migrant caravan is already on its way to the border. Do we have six years? I don't know. I've been saying for about a year that I think we're heading to civil war eventually, because if Democrats hold the House and then win twenty-eight, or even if they don't and win the presidency, I don't know that a lot of the right wing is gonna sit back and let another COVID era happen. I don't know that that's gonna happen. And I'm concerned about that, not overly concerned. I still think there's a lot of things to happen first before we get there. But my feeling is, and I've been saying it for a while, is we may be heading there. We may be heading there. I I'm in the middle of writing something. Go sign up for just KiraDavis dot com. I'll have a little autopsy drop today. That's some other things, appearances today. so sign up for that. I don't have I only have cold comfort for you. And I think people who aren't a people of faith are gonna feel like it's a consolation prize. And I don't know how to change that for you. But if you're a fan of my work and you have followed me for years, I have been absolutely and utterly consistent about this from day one. The battle is the Lord's, and we are the hands and feet. And yeah. The church has a lot to answer for today. The church in California especially has a lot to answer for. I left my old church during COVID, not because I didn't care for the people there, but because the leadership decided to shut down the church at the very moment the church was most needed. And I said to myself, if they're gonna bow to the government instead of serving the Lord, I cannot trust these people to have my back. When the crap really hits the fan. And I still think I've I chose right. And the church in California has utterly failed. And there is this attitude in the Christian church in America that we shouldn't be involved in politics. That is a modern lie brought to you by the enemy and the Democrat Party. Meanwhile, they're all up in churches, right? And Talo Rico's talking about how God loves trans and God's non binary, right? They're all up in it. And we're like, well, we're just gonna we'll sit back and pray. Don't get me wrong, prayer is action. You should be praying. And I and my son and I did pray yesterday. And I want to tell all of you this too, who are going, I prayed, and when nothing happened, or someone on my comments today said, Well, the Muslims and the Hindus prayed too, and who won? And I said, Their gods are dead. That's why their gods can't do anything. They may have prayed, but they would that's why they have to win by force and by sheer overwhelming numbers. That's why. They just reproduce and reproduce. Their gods are dead. So I don't care if they pray to whatever gods they pray to. But just because we pray and we don't see the answer that we doesn't mean our prayers haven't been heard and haven't been answered. Cold comfort. Cold comfort for you. But I will point and this there's a lot of reasons why today is different. But I still will point you to 2016, where the impossible happened. And again in 2024, where the impossible happened. But what happened before those impossible things, we suffered through eight years of The worst president we have ever had, Obama. And he split our culture in half. And it seemed like there was no Hillary was on the horizon and it seemed like there was no recovery. We were all everyone was writing up eds about the future of America and if we're gonna slip into communism and boom, Trump came along. Twenty twenty was a blow. Again, we did not address we have not addressed twenty twenty properly yet. So, you know, w the voter fraud is a problem and we need to talk about it. We can't run from that. Republicans, conservatives, we can't just pretend this is a turnout issue and I refuse to. I refuse to pretend. I the turnout is a problem, and absolutely let's be honest about that. But let's also be honest that there is massive voter fraud. And if we don't fix it, we can't fix anything. Without arming ourselves. Without another revolution. So we need to fix the voter fraud. But what what what was I saying? I don't even remember what I was saying now. What was I saying? Anyway, this is a culture issue. I'll get back to that. This is a culture issue. And we have been saying that forever. I know what I was saying. That things can turn around. And don't forget how quickly things can change. Don't forget that. How quickly things can change. But I don't want you to be falsely comforted today. I do think you should feel upset. I do think you should feel concerned. The DSA is on the rise. Communism is on the rise. I do think you should be nervous. but I don't think you should fear. We are commanded to not fear. In fact, here, let me. My husband shared this with me this morning and I thought it was really good. He said this was from Bible study, his church Bible study that he went to just yesterday morning. And they were in the book of Heb Hebrews, and this was their highlighted verse, Hebrews chapter twelve, verse one through three. Here's some more cold comfort for you. Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy of because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God's throne. Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people. Then you won't become weary and give up. And then he said that the pastor likes to circle the verbs, and so Some of them are or circled the verbs and adjectives, so some of them are strip off, run, do, perfect, endure, disregard and think. And my husband drilled down on the run part. Are you tired? 'Cause you're running. And that's what we've been commanded to do. We run the race. Again, it's called comfort, I know. And if you're not a Christian, you don't get it. I get that too. I understand that too. And I know Laura Loomer is raging today. She's like, You Christian nationalist, you can give give me your false comfort comfort, your your pray to God. And I get it. If you don't know God, if you don't understand how God works, it does look pretty crappy. It does look really sad and you know, and also, yeah, Democrats are gloating today. Let do it. Let do it. I'd be doing it. If we had one, I'd be doing it. Let do it and eat the bitter meal. You should watch all of that gloating and eat it right up. Let it make your stomach stomach sick because I tell you what, what we have ahead of us will require stomachs of s of steel. And it's gonna require people who aren't afraid to stand on the truth. I can't tell you what's gonna happen in twenty eight. I can't tell you what's gonna happen next year. I r I really can't. And I think everyone needs to be careful to not get too far out over your skis today. We still have some thinking to do, but not only is this a leadership problem, but this is a deep culture problem. And I have been saying that for 20 years, since the days of Andrew Breitbart. Andrew Breitbart was the first to come out and rally conservatives and say, Hey, if you don't get in this culture That's what this book is. If you don't get in this culture, the culture's gonna come for you. Politics is downstream of culture. The pol politicians are not brave people typically. They will respond to the culture. You have to change the culture. That's why I've been saying, why are you not going to your school board meetings? Because the school board is setting the agenda for what your kids learn at school, what they're being protected from at school. These kids are learning how to be little socialists. That girl that that attacked that Jewish student in Michigan the other day. We raised her. We raised her. We have raised that entire generation of soldiers. That's why they all look the same. I say this all the time. why do they have all the nose ring and the funny color hair? They're soldiers. It's a uniform. Remember when those teachers took the kids out of school to go march against ICE? They're soldiers. They're raising soldiers and you're still sending your children to those factories. Took a chance and tried to pull my kids out of the factory a couple of times. And I couldn't win that battle. But I think that, what we couldn't do in the by the way of public school, my husband and I have really tried to do by way of how how the culture in our home and how we raise our kids and w the things that we expect them to think about and to consider, you know? And first and foremost, God, and I hope. that they can look at our lives and see that. no matter what has happened, we remain faithful to God. And there is victory in that and there's comfort in that. Sometimes it's cold comfort, like today, but it is comfort. I know what you want is to come on this stream and hear me tell you how exactly how we win in 2028. You know what? I'll tell you, I actually do know. I actually do you know what, forget this. Let I let me stop trying to be humble. actually do know how we win in twenty twenty eight. It's just that you people don't want to hear it. We need revival in this country. Once this country is filled with the Holy Spirit, there won't be room for the enemy. And I think even our Jewish brothers and sisters who do not share my feelings about Christ. The Jewish vote's a problem too. I don't know what y'all are doing, but I don't want to throw stones because here we are in black America, right? I'm not trying to throw stones. We also have a a a a weird schism in our the difference between our voting and our interests. So but the the Jewish community, I know those the the people that I know and work with in the Jewish community, even though they might be uncomfortable with my with my declarations of faith. They are more comfortable with Christians in charge than anybody else. And they know they don't have the numbers to be in charge. And you can, whatever you want to say about Israel, I I have always said a and yesterday, far too late, Trump is like, We're gonna end aid to Israel, which I I'm all I'm against foreign aid, period. I don't think we should be doing it, period. all right, you could we could have used that message maybe six months ago, but all right, fine. I mean, what's right is right. But as far as Israel c is concerned, I've actually never understood the argument how Jews run the world because they do a pretty shit job if they do. You know, like they run Hollywood. I mean, even our my Jewish friends will say that. Like they run Hollywood, okay, sure. Like that's a small industry, but there's besides the low numbers of Jews across the world, they're just not doing a great job. Like What then why aren't we all Jewish? Then why aren't we, if they do run the world, then why is there a Abdul al-Saeed? Why is there a Muslim Brotherhood? Why are there any Muslim countries? why are they they are under threat constantly from their Muslim neighbors? Like they're not doing a great job of running the world. I know some of you might feel they're doing a great job with money, and that's a different thing. And there's a lot of different arguments for that that have nothing to do with the idea that, they're evil. There's a actually a lot of arguments for that, but I'm not here to litigate that. I'm just I just want to tell you that even those of you who don't share my faith, you can share my confidence in my Lord. You should share my confidence in my Lord. That's how we can win in twenty eight and that's how we'll win the culture. But it's not gonna work if you if we don't turn back to God. How can God bless us when we're sending babies to the slaughter every day? I say it over and over again. I'm going to a concert on Friday night, looking forward to it. I want I've had planned for a while. And then Saturday morning is the walk for life in Dana Point. And I'm probably gonna be hungover and I'm still gonna get up and go because how can you think that God will bless us if we are every day sending our children to the fire and pretending that it's just choice? Do you honestly expect God to honor that? Even if our us good Christians out here are fighting for life and we're going on the walks and we're praying, praying, praying, do you really expect God to bless our culture if we're doing that? Do you really expect God to bless our culture? If we are thwarting him at every turn, if we are ignoring his word and his commandments? How can we expect that? My prayer is though, is God, if you see one of us. In your culture, save us. If you see ten, will you spare us? If you see a hundred, will you spare us? That's always my that's always my prayer. 'Cause in California we're a minority, but we're here. Cold comfort. But I love what my husband said this morning about run. Run. Run. We're still running. God does not say walk. Let me read it again. Let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin. Especially the sin that trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. It doesn't say walk or crawl. Are you tired? Did you think that we were just gonna change this culture overnight? We were gonna boom snap. And twenty twenty four and we got a president that we like and then we were never gonna have any problems again. Did you think so? It doesn't work that way. And the enemy doesn't work that way. And now they're emboldened. So expect to see violence arise out there. And I don't think that the that the solution to that is gonna be shrinking back. You're gonna have to meet you're gonna have to meet their energy. And I don't like that either. 'Cause I'm an old lady and I'm not trying to get hurt out here in these streets. I can barely run anymore. Speaking about running. You're gonna have to stand up and get on your knees. This nation needs to turn back to the Lord. And the churches will be a big part of that. I'm gonna go to church with my friend tonight. get some of that cold comfort, the warmth of the spirit. But this is exactly and i it does feel like Sore loser. I know if you're not a religious person, it does feel like you're being a sore loser. you're gonna go to church because you don't want to go, you're gonna cry together. That's exactly where we're supposed to go. The church has forgotten that we are the hands and the feet of our Lord. Here in California, the church has failed. It has failed miserably. We have this weird megachurch culture. The seeker church, we call that was my last church that I left to. It was a seeker church. And I just thought there's not enough meat here. It's only milk, it's only Paplam. I like the church I'm in right now. I don't know if culturally, because every church has its own culture. And don't know if culturally it's the fit for me and my family, but I love our pastor and leadership because they're very bold about what we're supposed to do and how we're supposed to view politics. They're very, very bold. And they don't shrink back and be like, we're a secret church and we just want everyone to feel welcome. No, because you don't want everyone to feel welcome. People shouldn't always feel welcome in your church, right? If you're sinning, when you walk through the doors of the church, you should feel convicted. You should feel uncomfortable. Mark said, I just ran the d I just read the definition of endurance. Whoa. Well why don't you type that in and let tell us what in what endurance is or or copy and paste? Yes, because but we're not We are not called to be open armed and tolerant of everything. We are not called to make peace with evil. And sometimes when the church doors are so wide open that we have absolutely no standards for the people who come through the door, not saying that we stand at the door and deny them, but when we don't have standards for when they enter the church, then we're all we're inviting evil in, we're inviting an infection in. And I think that has been a major problem in the modern American church where we have just been so like throw open the doors and don't have any boundaries or guidance for people. Come as you are is great, but then in the church we've sort of we've bl bled all of the meat out of that and come as you are has turned into stay as you are. And we can't do that. So we need to be able to let's see, Lil says, Yes, you go to church to change yourself, not change the church to make yourself better. Agreed. And yes, thank you. Bing. Ding ding ding. Lil, thank you. yeah, and we are in this era where the church is saying it's feeling like we need to make people feel better about themselves. No, we need to make people feel worse about their sin. Because sin is what separates us from God. And when we are separated from God. We will be separated from our own culture and our own prosperity. There's nowhere else to go with that. There's just nowhere else to go. So You wanna know how many doors you knock on, you wanna know how many, voter fraud investigations you need to launch, you wanna know who's gonna be our savior for twenty twenty eight. It's you. It's God. I don't I know I tell I tell you, this is cold comfort. That's going to be the name of my op-et. I'm dropping on just kiradavis.com today. It's cold comfort, I know. And if you don't trust the Lord, then yeah, it is gonna feel like a cop out. But it is the best comfort I have to offer you because what is coming in the next two years is not going to be pretty. Right? And the Democrats are vengeful and they hate you, and they've let The extremists and the Muslims and the communists take over their party. And you're not gonna beat back Islam without Christianity. Hello, Crusades. You're not gonna beat back Islam without Christianity. And that's 10,000% true. You can't resist it without the Lord. You cannot. Impossible. Even Israel, who is the last standing defense against radical or Islam, period. Islam is radical in the Middle East. Even they have not been able to properly, they have big air voter problem there this election cycle. Right? BB's gonna pull it out probably with with a coalition. I don't know what it means for his influence. I'm tired of seeing his name. I'm wondering when everybody's gonna make a change over there, but it it seems to me from what I've learned from some of my Israeli friends, is that The change from him is gonna be worse. So they're really like hanging on to him because what is next they're they're fearful of. but even they have fallen in a lot of respects to the Arab influence in their own nation. The Arabs shift in a lot of voters. And so did the the liberal wing of they they do it differently over there because any if you're a Jew in anywhere in the world, you have Israeli citizenship and you can Fly in, you have to be on soil to vote. You can't send in a vote, but if you're there, you can vote. So they have a lot more ways to play shenanigans with their system. And I've heard complaints that they are not keeping up with election fraud over there, and they are not on top of it as well. So you're not gonna resist the Muslim hordes with anything but Christianity. I hate to tell ya. I know it's not gonna what you want to hear, but you give me a better idea. You're not. It's part of it. Because space abhor is a back a vacuum. And if you leave the the public faith space empty, something won't fill it. Here comes Islam. Because Christians have backed out of the public space. We've done it in the public schools. Even in Oklahoma, they a couple of years ago they put the Ten Commandments back in the schools. And there's even a lot of conservatives out there saying Well, we shouldn't have done that because we really do need a separation of church and state. First of all, for those of you out there who are new to the Constitution, there is no such thing. It doesn't exist. Everyone points to the establishment clause, but they don't point to the, words that come after it. That, we the the the state shall not establish an institution of of worship or or faith. But the second part of it no one ever reads, which says, nor prohibit the free expression thereof. So all that is is the state saying, We're not going to set up a church of England like they have over there, right? Where the church is really just political. There's never going to be a church of America. That's not to say that Christianity is not going to be our guiding principle in government. That's not that doesn't mean that at all. And there is no separation of church and state clause in the Constitution. That term comes from a letter. That Thomas Jefferson wrote one day. And he said, We need to do this. So but this is another part of our problem. We've we've We've given up the education institutions and they have used it to create soldiers. And now you got a bunch of little psychos who are medicated out of their minds, who have been programmed to hate America and to hate the Constitution, and now they're voting. And I was screaming this in 2022, and I've been saying it for years. I've been saying it for 20 years in this business, and nobody is listening, apparently. Nobody gets it, even a lot of conservatives. Again, my book. It's a battle plan. Okay, let's wind in down. Okay, let's play number one. Let's play this clip 'cause I think this is probably the greatest expression of frustration that we have seen. I can't tell you how this kid votes. It's a TikTok voter. I'm gonna warn you now there's language here. Okay. We can't bleep it. We're just playing it straight off TikTok. But I want you to listen to what this young man says. He looks Gen Z to me and I think he expresses what Gen Z is experiencing. And I want you to listen closely and I want you to hear every word. And I think he's right. Go ahead. Is this? Are we can the people running this fucking country just shut the fuck up for five minutes? I'm so fucking serious. I am 33 years old. I'm trying to enjoy my life, make some money, find some happiness, and a little fucking peace of mind. But every goddamn day it's something. Trump says this, Democrats say that, Republicans are fighting, everyone's pointing fingers. we're threatening to bomb Iran? Oil skyrockets. Time to sell. Wait a minute, a peace deal might be coming. Oil drops. Shit, time to buy. Never mind, peace talks aren't going anywhere. Oil shoots right back the fuck up. Sell that shit again. Bro, what the fuck is this? Are we running a country or a fucking day trading group chat? It's the same fucking circus. Over and fucking over again. who's stuck dealing with all this uncertainty? The people who just want to live their fucking lives. I don't give a shit about red or blue. I don't want another political celebrity. I don't want another 80-year-old arguing on television about whose fault everything fucking is. I want them to do their fucking jobs with my taxpaying dollars. Work together, fix things, be transparent, and stop treating the American people like an audience for their never ending fucking drama. Because here's something I think we've completely forgotten. Government is supposed to work for us. We are not supposed to spend our entire lives worrying about what the government is gonna do next. I don't need politics to entertain me. I don't need a new national emergency every fucking morning. I need a country where I can afford to live and actually enjoy being alive. You know what really fucking blows my mind? Does anybody else look at this shit and feel like we're living in some kind of fucking matrix? One announcement sends markets soaring, another one sends them crashing. Billions of billions of dollars moving around because someone opened their fucking mouth. And we're all sitting here watching it like it's normal. Who's making money off these swing? I have an idea. Who's buying? Who's selling? Who actually knows what's happening behind closed doors? I don't fucking know. But why aren't we asking this more often? Cause while we're all down here arguing about who's right and who's wrong, we're barely even paying attention to who's benefiting from all this chaos. We're so fucking obsessed with which side is winning that we've stopped asking whether any of this is actually making our lives better. Think about it. When did politics become a fucking team sport? When did we when did we start defending people we've never met more passionately than the people we actually live alongside? Neighbors, we're coworkers, we're families. We're all trying to make it through the same fucking life. And somehow we've convinced ourselves that half of us are the enemy. Wake the fuck up. I don't need the left to win. I don't need the right to win. I need the American people to stop fucking losing. Here's what I want everyone watching this to understand. You can replace a president, you can replace Congress, you can replace every fucking politician in Washington. But you cannot replace a single fucking second of your life. Every day we spend consumed by this circus is another day we're never getting back. So maybe the biggest problem isn't who's running the country. Maybe it's that we've let Politics take up so much of the one life we're supposed to be living. Because at the end of the day, they get another election. We don't get another fucking life. Damn. Think he nailed it. And I just want to pat myself on the back and say that I have been saying this for years now. And I I have been saying that the the the American electorate has been we've been had, we've been bamboozled, we have been conditioned to believe that there this is this existential battle between left and right. And yes, I mean, politically speaking, we have those designations for a reason. I get that. That's fine. I'm not mad about that, but We the people have been conditioned to believe that the that the most important thing is what's happening in DC, the president. I love how he talks about the circus of it and this back and forth. And we and all of us, especially with the internet and I'm just as guilty. I I am Scott, hey, while you're listening to me talk, go pull up the definition of endurance. Go to the dictionary, pull up pull that up for me. but he's right. We We wanna live our lives and that I I believe when I read that post from Jesse, right? I believe that was the promise of Trump. Yes, he was bombastic and you he was a big showman and we love the Trump show, but at the end of the day, what people were voting for was some kind of normalcy to get back to some kind of normalcy, and we have not seen that. The left has gone absolutely berserk and the right has i in response has also all right. Let's see, I need that a little bigger for me, my friend. So I can read it up. Okay, good. Endurance is the ability to keep doing something difficult, painful, or stressful for a long time without giving up. Physical endurance, here's the key aspect the capacity of your body to sustain physical effort or exercise, like running a marathon or cycling and resist fatigue. It combines cardiores, respiratory, and muscular stamina. Mental and emotional endurance, the inner strength to handle prolonged stress, hardship, or emotional pain without breaking down. Lasting quality, the ability of something to endure, last or remain permanent over time, such as the long term importance of I'm did you go down? I was just reading the rest of that. Such is the the mental here we go. Such is the long term importance of a play or a relationship. I'll read this again. Endurance is the act of ste from the Bible, endurance is the act of steadfast power to remain firm under suffering, heavy trials or temptation without giving up. The Greek root Hypomone, meaning the primary New Testament Greek word is hypermone, which means literally, which literally means to remain under or to abide under a weight. In nature, it is not passive or weak resignation. Instead, it is active, courageous choice to bear a heavy burden and keep walking in the path of faith. Metaphor, it is often compared to running a long distance race like the ancient Greece Dolikos. Requiring stamina and mental resolve to finish rather than a short sprint. And then key biblical themes, trials, test faith, and produce maturity, steadfastness, hope. There's your verses, believers took look to Jesus Christ who endured the cross, right? Remained under a heavy burden without giving up, and shame for the joy set before him. True biblical endurance does not come from human willpower. This is what I'm telling you. We can't win if we don't turn back. It is a gift and fruit supplied by God, scripture and prayer and hope in Christ. Okay. Thanks, honey. That was Mark who suggested that. That's my husband. Okay, let's go back to Hebrews and let's reread in in in light of that message about endurance. Hebrews chapter 12, verse one through three. Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that's so easily. trips us up and let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him he endured the cross disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God's throne. Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people, then you won't become weary and give up. I s I my friends on here on the chat and I called her this morning. And I just wanted to decompress with her a little bit. She's been working hard on some elections here in California. And I just wanted to tell her I was proud of her and glad that she was in the fight. I was feeling down when I called, and by the time we got off that call, we were already in battle plan mode. I don't I I was born for the race. I was born to run. I don't think I have I have had a moment in my life where I haven't been enduring. That's a little bit sad, you know, but also the the rest that I get is in the Lord. But I think of the American people are in deep need of rest. They're tired and they hoped this president would give them rest, but the president can't give you rest. A president, you know, who a twenty-eight, whoever goes to the White House in twenty-eight, they can't give you rest. The best they can do is is just give you a little water for the race. Give you a little sustenance for endurance. This whole book is about you. This whole book is about you. It is not about the politicians and what they're doing wrong and how they're failing us. It is about you and how you fit into all of this. So again, this is all more cold comfort because today belongs to Democrats and they deserve to go out there and gloat and tap dance and do all the stuff they're doing. Those of us who gotta be out in public, we gotta eat it, right? This is part of the job. This is when I'm really glad I'm not on network TV. sometimes I think I wanna be there, but now I'm glad because I don't have to sit next to all these Democrats all day and hear it. People like Katie Pavlich, Scott Jennings, they are earning their paycheck today. so I can at least retreat a little bit, but people do expect to hear from me. And so, and and I've got some media lined up too, and that's that. This is the this is the This is the game, but I don't really have the ability to retreat. Jesus went right to the cross. He carried a cross to the cross. He carried it on his back. Right? Talk about endurance under a heavy weight. He carried a carried a literal cross on his back to the cross. So he didn't stop, you know. that's where he went to suffer. And I as far as like, well, Kira, God didn't answer your prayers, didn't he? Didn't he? I don't know. I'm sitting in twenty twenty six. God sits out tide of side of time. So I would have said that to you in twenty twelve. God didn't answer my prayers. I would have said that to you. I definitely said that in twenty twenty. God didn't answer our prayers. Well didn't he? I'm sorry it doesn't always look like you want. And I'm sorry that this isn't here's all the steps you take to go in. You're gonna have to eat it for the next few months while Democrats brag and celebrate and get themselves together. You're gonna have to eat the bitter meal. But that's endurance. That's endurance. Let's see, what else do I have here that I wanna talk about. All right. Let's go down some of the let's do number three, Scott, real quickly. Let's go down some of these vote results in Orange County or in Orange County and in in California. I was at the Hilton party last night. It was I'll tell you what energy was low going in just because we could see the results from the rest of the country. But I had hoped we might have some good news. So we're still counting. This election won't be certified until the 11th, but it has been called for Bacera. It was called for Bacera. As you can see, these vote counts aren't very high. There's millions more votes to count. so Becerra's, sitting at 53.12, Hilton 46.8. and I don't buy it. I will tell you that there are a lot of other factors nationally speaking that can that, you know tear down my argument about the voter fraud and I get that. Okay, we talk about the voter fraud here, about there's other factors here. Here in California, I don't think there's other factors. I think it is a voter fraud. I think it is the communist. And I've been screaming at the top of my lungs for years. If we don't get out there and fight the fraud in this state, if we don't make a direct attack on the voter fraud in this state, there's no way we can win. And look at this. One second after the polls close, media had it called for Becerra. We hadn't counted a sick single ballot. The Republican Party should be asking how? How does that happen? And I know you can pull out all the analysts and you'd be like, Well, here's the data and here's the projections. But then are we go are we winning on data and projections or are we we winning on votes? Republican Party, you can't ask Republican voters to come out to the ballot box and expect them to come out when every time the polls open, it's a done deal and their ballots don't get counted. Now they don't even get to See if their ballot made a difference. It was already counted. It was already decided. There is a voter fraud problem here. And I've been saying in California forever now, if you cannot use the law to change the law, if you cannot use the the electoral system to change the will of our leaders, then what is next? Are we even an American state in the republic? What options do the feds have? What options do we have as citizens? I I'm very serious. I really think we need to be thinking about this. We really need to be talking about this. I'm very, very serious. We're not taking it seriously. I don't believe Bersera won and I'll go to my grave with that. And it's not just because of the vibe, but it's because of the voters. I don't I I know everyone's making fun of us. Yeah, but we're not you get what you vote for. I don't think we're voting for this. I don't. I live here. I see the degradation every day. I don't think we're voting for this. Somebody might be voting, but those somebodies are not us. So somebody might be voting and somebody might be voting a few times, right? And then we get this thing of, well, it's not necessarily illegal. we look up what's going up on up there in Alaska, it's not necessarily illegal, it's just bad. See, that's a weak position too. Why isn't it illegal? It is illegal, by the way, if you read our constitution and how elections are supposed to be conducted, we are performing illegal elections across this entire country. You need to read the constitution and what it says. But we don't. Again, that's an education problem. We're not educated in constitutional politics and values. Let's see, I got a comment here. Stay in its presence says Bless you. I can't believe the blame that's being thrown out when all you want is an encouraging word. is God still on the throne? Last I checked, he was. So yes, it's a bitter pill. God is not surprised at all. And I trust in him. And again, people who aren't of faith won't understand that. They'll feel like it's a cop out. But I'm fifty-two years old. I've been living long enough to know that it is not. And God has never let me down. Lieutenant Governor here, Fiona Ma. Over Gloria Romero. Another result, I don't believe. Gloria Romero was a great candidate. I can't she none of these people campaign, by the way. None of these Democrats campaign. That's another thing. If you it I don't tell me, it's just a blue. Yeah, I yes, I did see JD's post. We talked about it earlier on in this podcast, by the way. but not only is our, you know, do we have this voter fraud? But I'm sorry. It's not just that we're a blue state and it's blue no matter who. That's not it. I don't believe that people are gonna respond to a a candidate that doesn't campaign. There's cheating there. None of these people campaign and it should disturb everybody that they don't have to earn votes anymore. They're so confident. Karen Bass, Karen Bassura said it herself. We might as well never run another election in California. That's where we're heading, by the way. That's where we're heading. And then it will be war. Faith Forward says yes, the people need to assemble. Avengers assemble. Thirty-three people in 27 counties learning how we do the work in California through the People's Jur Jural Assembly. And she has a website here. You want to put that up there, Scott? Dejureforcali.org. All right, go ahead. Put that up. I don't know what it is. I hope it's not something weird. Fiona Ma. Do you d do you even know who Fiona Ma is? No, you don't. You don't. One handily. Secretary of State Shirley Weber, she didn't campaign a day. Look at our elections, right? She is a stupid, brainless robot Democrat. Black Democrat. I'll tell you why that matters and why I said. Her opponent's Don Wagner here in the he's from here in Or C. I'm gonna I guess I can tell you this now. Look, when I when I first approached Steve Hilton to tell him I wanted to support a run for governor, I knew he was thinking about it. I had breakfast with him. I said, I know you're thinking about running for governor. I wanna be a part of the fight. I think you can win. And he called me a couple months later. He said, Kira, will you run on my golden ticket as Secretary of State? That was our plan. That was the plan. And I said yes. And he said, I it's an uphill battle. One of the things is that, you know, Shirley Weber's a black woman, the identity polity politics thing, you know, we need someone who can who can get after it. But the other thing he said was, even if it is an uphill battle, what you will be, Kira, is a mouthpiece for election integrity and ballots, right? And that was our plan to do. He would do his campaigning and then I would act as like an unofficial spokesperson in my own campaign, fighting for ballot integrity, election integrity, taking the message to the people. You guys know I'm loud, guys know I'm proud, guys know I'm noisy, and I have a lot of passion. That's what I have. I'm not the smartest person in the room. I'm not the most experienced person in the room, but I have a lot of passion and I have ability I have the ability to persuade. So We both agreed we wanted to do that. I was really excited to run on the golden ticket with him. You're the first people hearing this story. and Don Wagner also got in the race and he got in before Steve and I could declare. And then that created some issues with the donor base in OC. And Steve and I had a pow we said, we said, Do we want to do we want to have this fight for you? And Steve told me, he was like, Kira, I'll fight for you. I'll fight for you. if you say you want this, I'll fight. But at the time we were fighting a very contentious primary battle. This is another problem with the California GOP. They did not take a pit a position in the primaries and they should have. And I think again, that's not leadership. It's not leadership and it cost both these candidates because if either one had pulled through with a mandate, right? We could have they wouldn't have had to spend so much money. So that was a fart by the California GOP candidate. But anyway, so we had that contentious battle going on. I didn't like what I was seeing out of the Bianco campaign, still don't. and I I I said, look, I think them I think you're the most important candidate here. Cause I think it was long odds period, but way longer odds for Secretary of State. So I was like, I don't want this battle. Don Wagner's established in OC politics. He's very well respected. an OC politics and he had a donor base and we just didn't want to have to battle him for that or have to, whatever. There's personalities involved. There's pride involved, which I think is disgusting. You know, when you're talking about winning, this is again part of our problem where some people are just in it for the politics of it. They're just like, well, this is what I do. And some people are in it to change the world. And I'm one of those naive people. I guess at 52, I still feel like I'm 15. Like I believe the world can change. So I declined to I declined to get on the ballot. And again, I trust God. I I totally trust God on that. It wa it probably wasn't the time for me. You can see how far behind Don is. I don't think he's gonna pick that up. he barely campaigned either, but I didn't expect him to. controller, we have Malia Cohen. She's gonna win over Herb Morgan. You've seen Herb on this show. Malia Cohen is absolutely corrupt. The controller is the entity that audits all of our spending. Treasurer, Jennifer Hawks, wonderful woman of faith. Won a a very contested primary for the GOP. had great messaging actually on the office. I think these are a lot of midterms. I really do think it comes down to educating people about these offices. Again, if we were doing civics education, We should be raising kids who the way they memorize and they don't even memorize times tables anymore, but the way they memorize how many genders there are, if we had our kids memorizing the constitution, we could free ourselves from so many weird things. Rob Bonta, we're getting another Rob Gon Bonta. The Gates campaign couldn't pull it out. I thought he might be able to go to the base. I know I was talking to Some people who worked on the campaign, they felt like the ice thing was a big problem because we've got a lot of Latino voters here. I don't accept that actually. I accept that the Latino voters have a problem with ice. we have a problem with Latino voters. That's where the problem we're not attacking it from the right angle. Again, we're we keep trying to move to the center and and the solution is some hard conversations. About who we're welcoming into the party, whose vote we're fighting for, and who's allowed to vote in the first place. Right? ICE has to do that job. So we purge some of these voters. So, but we need to have an honest conversation about who's allowed to vote in the first place. We got a problem in the Latino vote. So, yeah, was ICE causing angst among Latino voters? Yeah, but why? Why? Because half of them are really. Insurance commissioner, two Democrats, Ben Allen. I that's probably the most positive result you could have hoped for. Jane Kim is the DSA candidate. Let's move down. State Board of Equalization. There was some shenanigans in that race, I'll tell you. Two conservatives, two Republicans, excuse me, for the 38th. i no for the fortieth. Ken Calvert and young Kim. Ken Calvert's gonna pull this out. I supported Ken Calvert. It was That was one of those races that prop 50 gerrymandered into Republican versus Republican. And I figured since we had the opportunity to change without risking the seat, we should change young Kim. I just I I don't think she's a strong representative of Republican values. She's a decent candidate. She's a decent representative, and that's it. All right. Let's skip on down to the forty-fifth. Derek Tran, Chung Vo. Again, we have an issue we need to look at in the California Party with. voting blocks and how we have allowed ourselves to be pulled into the position of having to appeal to voters in voting blocks. The reason now Chung Wo is a I know this guy. He is an incredible candidate. That guy is you'd want him representing you any day of the week. But the other thing that we're always doing is Trying to find Asian candidates to run against the Asian candidates because the Asian community votes in a block. That's a problem. That's a problem too that the Republican Party does not want to address. Again, gonna require some hard conversations and maybe some long term plans. let's skip down to 47th, where Jenny Ray LaRue, who is on who is on the golden ticket. And is the head of Cal Doge. Great candidate. she's not gonna pull this out. But here's some hope right underneath. Armin Kurdean. Armin is a friend. I have supported him. my GOP club has supported him. We've been working hard for Armin out here. Mike Levin is the Democrat. He represents this very red district, my district here in Orange County. And we didn't want him that he came in on the blue trickle in 2022. We didn't want him. Shenanigans were afoot there. We have this weird primary system, and Republicans ran against each other, split the vote. Again, we never talk about how to get rid of that. We just have accepted it. Whoa, now we're a jungle primary state. What's the Republican Party doing to change that? Where are the lawsuits? Where's the leadership? Where's the media? All of that. So that's actually really good news. This is a bright spot in a dark results day. Armin winning is a big deal. Congratulations, Armin. He worked very hard and he's just a very humble man. When you meet him, he's just a very humble man. So excited about that. All right. Let's just scroll down a little bit. I'm not gonna belabor everything. Rhonda Schader, she's been on the show, she's gonna lose. Tony Strickland looks like he's gonna he's gonna pull it out. Tony Strickland is the reason why Huntington Beach flipped red. He had a strategy to flip it. it was highly successful. We sent him to the Senate, to the state Senate, and he is working on a strategy likewise. And last night in those early returns, they were not looking good. Looks like they're picking up here. And looks like they're picking up in the 38th here with Laura Bassett. Same last night it was not looking good, but those day of returns are are looking strong. So that is good. Keep in mind we don't certify until the until the 11th. I think it's when called for Tony. Not sure. okay. Scroll on down. State Assembly. Kate Sanchez, she's gonna win. All right, Gracie, she was not looking good last night. So those day of returns are looking better and better for Gracie Vandermark, Chris Cloey. Is a ridiculous Democrat and he's been hurling ridiculous insults. Gracie Vandermark is the first Latina mayor of Huntington Beach, and she is a force to be reckoned with. So Gracie, let's let's let's keep praying for her. We got a lot of ballot drops to go still. Erson Russell, a good friend. He's worked with Nick Shirley on the voting. fraud here. You've seen him on some of Nick's reports out of California. This was always an uphill battle. I can't think of a man in local politics who's worked harder. He's he's run a good race. He's done he's done he has endured and he has done what he was supposed to do. Lori Davis gonna gonna she's an incumbent, gonna pick that seat up again. Good, good, good. These are judges. I don't have much to say about that. I think Data Republicans mom said yeah you can stop right there data republicans mom said on x today that you should just vote no on all judges from now on it should be a is a rotating thing this is where i know the cheating is superintendent of public instruction richard barrera and sonia shaw they changed the governor did a last minute alley oop and changed the definition of this office Because Sonia Shaw was winning and they saw the writing on the wall. The fact that Richard Barrera, who did not campaign for one day, is winning, I don't believe it for one second. I don't believe it. I don't want the Republican Party to tell me about the cheating anymore. excuse me, to tell me about the turnout. If we have a turnout problem, because I know they keep saying there's five million plus re registered Republicans in the state of California, we need all of them to come out. I don't even know how many of those people are still here. Because we don't clear the voter rolls. So are there five million re registered Republicans in the state? I don't even know if that's true. But Richard Barrera, again, didn't campaign a day. And Sonia's been up and down the state fighting for the kids. And this is cheating. And if the Republican Party is not going to address that. How can they expect their voters to turn out for the next election? They're not gonna do it. The dog's mad about it. All right. Keep going. She'll get over it, everybody. I see, It's the it's the garbage truck, everybody. She's gotta save us from the garbage truck. Stop right there and scroll back up a little bit. John Black is leading in our community college district. I love this because this guy's a Republican, and this is one of those offices, Orange County. This is listen to me. And anybody who's in local politics, listen to me. We've got a great chairman in Will O'Neill. And when he came, he's new, and when he came in, a young guy, he said, look, we've left far too many local offices open as Republicans. And he had a whole sheet of, and it was hundreds of like dozens of almost of Of offices that we just didn't even fight for. And he said, We're not ever doing that again. We're at least finding people. John was one of those people he found at the last minute. And thank you, John, for hopping in. And it's no small feat and look it looks like he's gonna win. And so that's a bright spot too. Republicans were leaving too many local offices open, especially in Orange County. We're so easily infiltrated down here. School boards, Capistrano school boards looking good. I'm not feeling good about Marco. Marco's running for that seat to flip it red. That's the seat I ran for. We still got a lot of ballot drops, and you can see how thin those margins are. And believe me, this is how it worked in 22, where I was like super close on election day, and then every ballot drop but broke for the Republican, without exception. And excuse me, broke for the Democrat without exception. So he's close. He's a he's who we want. We want Marco and he's a dad and he's a good guy. I don't feel good because they can just go find these ballots, but I think the board is gonna stay red. So I guess that's good. Yeah, six of seven conservatives now. We have six of seven Republicans. I'm not sure I'm willing to label them all as conservatives, but yes, we have six out of seven Republicans. So it's better than twenty-four. Absolutely, absolutely. All right, let's let's stop it there because I I'm tired and I still have more beatings to take today on our behalf. So the beatings will continue until morale improves. So I I need to go do that, but I just my instinct is to, yeah, put my head in the sand, get back into bed. I might even do that a little bit today. yeah, go ahead and feel this blow, everybody. Go ahead and feel it. Go ahead. And go ahead and watch the Democrats gloating. Go ahead. Swallow the bitter pill. you gotta do it. But it doesn't mean I'll leave you this. It doesn't mean you're wrong and it doesn't mean we're wrong. But it does mean we have a failure to lead going on here, and people will respond to strong leadership, not wishy washy leadership. I'm sure the Republican Party is gonna take this as a message, we gotta move to the center. Well, then you'll become the center, and then you'll become the left, and then we'll just be the UK. And I don't know, I'm not gonna let that happen. So I people crave strong leadership and I think that's what Californians need. There's cheating here. I believe Steve Hilton won. You'll never tell me otherwise. And I believe that the Republican Party has failed here. You have not given the people the the you have not given the people a reason to come out and vote. Just like, hey, we can do it. Other people are doing it, we can do it too. Or knocking on doors, but you're not reassuring people that you're mad, you're hopping mad over how the system is. You've acquiesced to mail-in ballots, you've acquiesced to ballot harvesting, you've acquiesced to jungle primaries. we have not seen at all a Republican Party in California that is telling people, we're standing up for you, we're launching lawsuits, we're launching investigations, we're not pretending that this isn't happening and we just need to go vote harder. We haven't seen that. And the people are responding to that. So the people will respond to good and passionate leadership. This I believe. All right. And so we're not wrong, but we have been outvoted. So do whatever you need to do. I tell you what, this landscape will look a lot different come next month. I tell you what. Yeah, I know everyone's like, I'm done with MAG, I'm done with this. I hate Trump, whatever. I've been through enough of these things to know that, the dust will settle and we will all get back to battle mode. Some of us go sooner than others. I'm already there, but I just have no chill. I wish I did. I wish I did. I wish I could just be one of those pe like I have so many friends around here are like, I really care about politics. Or like, I wish I could, but I just I don't have any chill. It's like a blessing and a hearts. Sans says, I wouldn't phrase it that way. We were not outvoted. Fair enough. Fair enough. We were outmaneuvered. How about that? Endure. Run. Do disregard. Endure. Don't forget, sunlight is the best disinfectant. So go out there and shine a light. Let's go, everybody. It's still America. Let's go. Let's go.
