Latest / The Orange Report with Kira Davis / Ep.57 Dear California: The misery is the point...part infinity
Transcript
- Kira Davis: Hey everybody, welcome to the show. Today is Wednesday, August 19th. It is hub day. I am Kira Davis. I am the ⁓ editor in chief and host of the Orange Report with Kira Davis coming to you live from Southern California. And you can also follow me right here on X. We'd like to broadcast live to X. We love X. right here at Kira Davis, or you can head over to the Orange Report. That's Orange Report O C right here on X as well. And YouTube as well. Can and sometimes some of y'all watch me through Facebook. Now, I did get a couple of communications from some people who are wondering how can I chat with this show on Facebook? I am not quite sure about that interface and I'm not sure that it always comes through. ⁓ you know, and I'm just an old lady doing her best on this wild and wacky world called the internet. So find me where you can. And I appreciate those of you who do. ⁓ I got a lot to talk about today. It's all California today. And honestly, I mean, the show really has is about California, but we cover so much national news because you know, California news is national news, but today I'm particularly pissed off to be Californian. It's just it's one thing after the other. And if we take one step forward, we take eight thousand steps backwards in this state. And it it's it's getting absurd and I'm you know, I would have used that word six months ago, six years ago, sixteen years ago, I would have used that word, and been totally confident in using it. But I look at what's going on now and we are really past the point of absurdity, but I I'm running out of words. As a writer, I'm running out of words. One example is the Miro race in Los Angeles. I mean, you know, w the whole world cared ⁓ in the spring when Spencer Pratt was running. The you know, seemingly the whole world, at least the whole country, we really were captured by it. And if you watch my interview yesterday with Mickey Yamashita, who heads up Asians for Pratt, ⁓ and if you haven't seen that, go back and watch it. I I posted it here on X and it's on YouTube as well. ⁓ She found out some crazy stuff about voter registration while she was trying to register for ⁓ the public health exchange. Crazy. But you know, ⁓ I the mayoral race, you know, and she joined it because she was really passionate about she she was always locally politically active, but she's in the entertainment industry and she never really wanted to get that political. She stayed out a lot of stuff publicly, but you know, she really felt like the Pratt campaign was bipartisan and it was and she was really moved to join it and excited by it and then the big steal went down and everybody sort of lost their care or passion for it. And when you watch Karen Bass and Nithya Rahman campaigning, it is it does, it all feels like parody. They're both campaigning. They're both the same person. And I saw an ad from Karen Bass today and she was walking down the streets of Nithya Raman's district like Spencer did and saying, look at all the homelessness here. She heads up the homeless commission and she wasn't doing anything about it. Now, I'll g I'll tell you this. I don't think Karen Bass is really running against Nithya Raman. I think the reason why it looks so fake is because it is fake. Why it looks so absurd is because it is absurd. Nithya Raman never had any hope to be mayor. She doesn't care about being there. That was a op. They brought Nithya in to the race at the last minute so that Karen Bass wouldn't have to face Spencer Pratt. And they knew they could get the fix in, and they did. They knew that they could get the fix in. So now whenever we see Karen Bass out there and she's roaming around, she's got her little little microphone or whatever, I'm in Nithya Raman's district and look at all this homelessness. Can you believe it? I would never let this happen. I would say they think you're stupid. But I don't even think it's that anymore. It's not that they think we're stupid. I don't think they care about what we think at all. And I got a couple of stories to prove that. But they they don't care about what we think at all. It's not that we think it's not that they think we're stupid. It's just they're just it's just for the record. It's just for the record. What they think is that we're weak. That's what they think. And and they would be right about that, right? Because all the all the strength and passion in the world couldn't push Spencer past that Democrat fraud machine. They think we're weak. And so they just they they don't even have to try anymore. And that's what we're seeing. I who who was I sp speaking to the other day? It ⁓ might have been Rhonda Schader. She's running ⁓ for California Senate in in the thirty fourth district. But somebody said, you know, I just can't believe how blatant they are about there was some fraud program here in California. And my response was they're like that because they're lazy, right? Because they they are now in a position where they don't have to be held accountable for anything. They don't have to be they don't have to answer for anything. They don't pay for anything. There's, you know, the law never comes down on them. It's just a money laundering machine and they've been ruling it for so long, they're all very comfortable. Now that does put them in a weaker position because that's when you make big mistakes, right? If we have the people to take advantage of that and we have the power of a supportive federal government behind us, we maybe can fix that. But ⁓ you know, the basses and the Nithya Ramans of the world, they're e they're not trying anymore. So it all looks fake and absurd because it is fake and absurd, because they think that you're absurd. They think the taxpayer is absurd. And they resent even having to run. They resent even having to pretend. ⁓ but it is very Orwellian, the whole thing is. And I'll repeat, I said it to Mickey yesterday in our interview, and I have said it over and over again, and I'm gonna keep repeating it until somebody tells me what the answer is. But at what point can you no longer consider yourself an American state? At what point are you are if if all of the mechanisms of a so-called democracy, I know we're a republic, just spare me in the comments, but if all the if if we are violating every hallmark of a democracy of a repo of a republic, if the people, the you know, the people, The people who are in the ⁓ government by for the people by the people, you know, those people. If the people can't use the law to change the law anymore, can't use the electoral system to change course. ⁓ Scotty, can you turn the air conditioner off there? Sorry. Can't use the ⁓ the current law to change course, then at what point are we just a communist operation? And I really think we're there. I really do. I'm not quite sure how anyone can look at this state and say, well, this is just a messed up American state. Just a messed up state. I think we're a communist state. And then are you allowed to be a communist state in the United States of America? Is that allowed? I'm asking questions here. I don't see anybody else asking this question. I d I don't see anybody else trying to come up with a different solution or at least an answer, at least a thought. How do you fight a completely rigged system legally? Nobody has nobody will tell me. Nobody has the answer. Probably because the answer is very ⁓ It's very uncomfortable. It's very uncomfortable. ⁓ no matter which way you cut it, it's gonna be uncomfortable because it's gonna require some extra legal activism. I'll say that. I don't know, you know, ⁓ think of that what you will, but I I just we are under extreme duress here, and so far the only remedy is to leave. There's 40 million people in California. And I don't think do you want these 40 million people running into your states? Idaho, you're already dealing with a an elect an elections problem, welcoming all these Californians and Boise. Boise is like a liberal town now. You know, welcoming all of these wacky Californians into your state who fled what they voted for. And now they're because they're not, you know, deep thinkers. They're voting for the same where you live. You shouldn't want us to be your advice to us shouldn't be leave. Right? It's always the same people too. The same people are like, well, you just gotta leave, Kira. You should just leave. There's no point. Everybody should just leave. Okay. But then when you see how many people are leaving California, then y'all write to me and say, tell all your people when they come here, don't vote the way they voted in California to bring that here. I can't do that. First of all, you're not allowed to tell anybody how to vote. I can't tell anybody how to vote. I can tell them how I think they should vote. And I do. I've made a whole career on it. But I can't control how people vote. If you're worried about Californians coming t your way and messing things up in your beautiful red state or red community, let me tell you something. The best way to defend yourself against that is to start filling the positions in government that they're going to come and fill because those people love meetings and they love conference calls. They love government. And that's what government is it's meetings and conference calls. And they love that stuff. So if you if you don't want to hear from them, if you don't want them to come into your area and start Filling up all those positions. I got dudes for you. You got to run for those positions. You better make sure they're filled before the people from my end of the country get there. That's the only way, because they have every right to run for office, right? It's their constitutional right, and you can't tell them how to vote. The only thing you can do is to make sure that the positions are filled. Or the other thing that you can do is to help us here in California. Don't insult us, don't make fun of us. You know, do what you can. And sometimes that's just, you know, posting on social media or not being an asshole. Sometimes that's all it is. But do what you can to support those of us who still have common sense, who are still here and still fighting for this state, because we're not just fighting for this state. We're fighting for you. We're fighting for the entire country. We understand what happens when our kin, our people go out. And spread out across the rest of the country. It's bad news for everybody, almost everywhere we go. Because even honestly, goodness, like even some of the conservatives that are moving your way are moving with cow they're baked in the California mindset. That's why I'm like, I'm not into like, let's make Alberta ⁓ a another state. You know, let's welcome Alberta into the union. We love Alberta. We love Albertans and their and their capacity for liberty, but they are still Canadians. You do not want these people voting as Americans, trust me. They are baked into the Canadian mindset. They have some ideas of liberty, like all the right ideas, obviously. ⁓ and more power to them. I hope they do get to leave the union. But also they have different ideas about what free speech. Not all of them. I I know I'm I'm generalizing, obviously. ⁓ I I don't feel I should have to qualify that, but it's the internet. but They all they have been baked in the idea of Canadian governance. And so I'll give you an example and I'm telling you this is a former Canadian and you never hear me call myself Canadian. I'll always say I was born Canadian or I'm a former Canadian because I've I never really thought of myself as Canadian growing up, even though I was born there and I haven't been a Canadian for a very long time. But I also when I left Canada, that was it. That was it. America or bus. America, American or nothing. And I do believe that I have an American mindset. I think I was born with the American mindset, actually. And ⁓ if you if there's such a thing. And ⁓ I I know, listen to me, I know what I'm talking about. Even the the coolest of Canadians have a really hard time with the first and the second amendment. Some Canadians, like me, you know. come to understand it, embrace it and love it. But you will hear even conservatives ca even conservative Canadians when they talk about free speech, they'll use the word but in there. And it's not because they're communists. It really isn't. It's just they real they are baked in a different notion of what free speech is. And and that's just one example. So I don't know, I'm not I'm not I don't think we need I don't think we need any more Canadians coming here and voting. Thus you're gonna be like American or bust. That should be for every immigrant, in my estimation. I don't even think you should, I don't even think it's really proper to say, ⁓ I'm Italian or I'm Spanish or I'm Irish. If you emigrated from those countries, you should say, I came from those countries. And now you're American. I might be hardcore. I'm a pretty hardcore American. Maybe I'm hardcore. And I know a lot of Americans do that too. Like a lot of white Americans do that. And I It's also one thing I've never really understood, the idea to identify yourself by your family's and ethnicity. And ⁓ and we didn't really do that in Canada when I was growing up. So, you know, my grandmother, God rest her soul, was Scottish, literally Scottish, not of Scottish descent, but she emigrated from Scotland in the forties to Canada. And ⁓ I've never once described myself as Scottish. Never once. I don't think I ever heard my mom say she's Scottish or we're Scottish or nobody has ever said it. But when I moved to America, a lot of people would say that and I would be so confused. They'd be ⁓ I'm Italian. I'd be Really? You sound so American. It took me a while to understand that a lot of people it seems to be ⁓ more with white people. I didn't notice this in in in the black communities I lived in, but ⁓ the you know, I would be so confused and then people be like, Well yeah, my great great great grandfather came over from wherever and and I I don't like that either. I actually don't like that either. I feel like no you're not Italian. You are of an Italian descent, but you're American. Anyway, that's a pep pee. It's not a salvation issue. Neither here nor there. ⁓ my point is that these people boy this is a long way around a point. Welcome to the famous Davis sidebar, everybody. You're welcome. ⁓ my point is this, as we Californians fan out, we're gonna take our values, even the good ⁓ good ones of us, we're gonna take our values with us as we fan out. And that's going to shift your culture. So occupy those positions and help us save California so we're not sending all of our poison pills out into your neighborhoods. Don't insult us and then just tell us to leave, because if we're leaving, we're coming to you. So, I mean, you just need to look at any city center that has become, you know, a mecca for people fleeing the blue states. Look at Nashville, right? Look at what they're going through. You would never think of Nashville as as the liberal hellhole that it is now. You would never I lived in Nashville in Nashville in the nineties, the late nineties for about a year. ⁓ I was a bit of a nomad. and as a young woman and that was one of my stops and it was a lovely little town. I worked right downtown on Commerce Avenue and it was, you know, had the country vibe, had the celebrity vibe, but still the small town vibe. It was a great town. It was great. I went there a couple of years ago for the first time a after many, many years and was flabbergasted at what I saw. Totally different town. Looks like Vegas now. It's really sad. It's really sad. ⁓ I want to let's see, let's talk about I want to talk about a couple of things that are going on here in California. Let's go down to since I'm talking about LA, I was talking about the LA Mary's race, let's go down to number three, the LA encampment ordinances. ⁓ this is yet another thing that the city of Los Angeles now I'm in Orange County, but obviously it's Southern California. This is yet another thing that the city of Los Angeles is doing to reverse course. Remember, I said three steps forward, eight thousand steps back. Well, while back, ⁓ citizens got the city council to lift the camping ordinances or to esta reestablish the camping camping, excuse me, ordinances to help with the homelessness in the parks, right? The homeless people use the public encampment laws to just set up camps on the streets and in the parks. And that's why our parks look that way. And I want to take just one second, I've done this before, but I want to remind you again, because the timeline is moving so fast. And we're welcoming so many young people into the conservative media movement. A lot of them don't have a historical perspective for why this is happening. So you're listening to people who are very smart, but they don't have. historical perspective. And this isn't even that long ago, but let me tell you how we got this. We got this during the Obama administration. Do you anybody remember Occupy Wall Street? I sure do, because I was embedded in a number of those protests and they were all scary and they were the precursor to what we're seeing right now with Antifa. Antifa is just Occupy Wall Street. It's the same people. It's the same funders, the same crowd, the same tactics, only now they're more powerful and more well funded. And they have more license to be violent because we have so chipped away at the veneer of public safety in this country. So Obama and the ⁓ and mayors and city councils from across the United States ⁓ lifted encampment bans so that Occupy Wall Street people could camp in the city parks and on the streets while they were protesting. It's equivalent to Kamala Harris bailing out Antifa. members. And when the Occupy Wall Street movement faded away, the tents never left because what happened was they just moved homeless people in there. When I tell you the misery is the point, that's the point. It was never about Occupy Wall Street. It was about sticking a finger in the eye of the Tea Partiers who were getting arrested for having peaceful events and protests. And it was also because they knew this is where they were going. So let's look at this. LA votes to allow homeless camps to reopen in city parks. Here's where they'll go. Scroll down a little bit, Scott. Let me read this. Los Angeles City Council has voted to allow homeless people set up camps and live in parks after a proposal by DSA Council member Hugo Soto Martinez. There should be no party called the Democrat Socialists of America. It should be illegal. We should not be allowed to have any DSA candidates anywhere. The city council voted 10 to 3 in favor of lifting the this is a socialist, okay? This is socialism, everybody. In favor of lifting anti-camping camping restrictions at more than a dozen parks and public spaces across Hollywood, Silver Lake, and surrounding neighborhoods, which will make it a make it far easier for homeless people to live in the parks across District 13. The anti-camping laws have been put in place. for five years to prevent encampments from returning after being cleared by law enforcement. 10 to 3. Now, if you watched my interview with Mickey yesterday, and you should go back and watch it, it is pinned on this account. It's also on YouTube, and I've been releasing clips. ⁓ she talked about how one of the things that got her involved in local politics was that she has been struck, almost struck by a vehicle multiple times as a Los Angeles resident because she's had to navigate into the street. Because she can't use the sidewalks. Now imagine walking your kid to school. You can take this off, Scott. You can take this off now. Imagine walking your kid to school. Which people do. They walk their kids, they have to they have to go out into the street. So why would the LA City Council vote then to to make camping legal again just as outdoor camping, which is just legalizing homelessness, just as kids are going back to school? Listen to me, everybody. The misery is the point. It's the misery. They don't care about the homeless people. They they don't care about the homeless people. And it's o they care about the money. And if the homeless people go away, that's less money. Fewer encampments is less money in their pockets. You saw that the feds shut off the the spigot to the homeless industrial complex coming out of DC last week. That's gonna account for some, but not nearly enough of what they're they are getting billions and billions of taxpayer dollars every year. And then every ballot they put a new fee or measure on the ballot for more money for the homeless industrial complex. You just saw that the former director of the the homeless whatever homeless program in in Los Angeles she was making half a million dollars a year. She makes more than the president. You know, and and and I has homelessness been solved in Los Angeles or anywhere in California? No. But that's not the point. The point is to keep the dollars flowing. And if the streets are clean and people don't have to worry about the homeless as they're walking to school, they're not going to sign up for more taxes, more measures, more solutions. It's all a big scam and Elon was right. We're living in the Truman show and I'm I don't know what to do about this. I really don't. I we have an election coming up in November. If we can change the governor, it'll change a lot, but it won't change nearly enough quick and quickly enough. I don't know what we're supposed to do. Would any that that doesn't involve leaving? And I'm not I'm not I I say this over and over again. I am not knocking anyone who leaves or who feels like they have to or who leaves for other opportunities. I'm not saying that I my husband and I wouldn't be among those people ever. It's you know, but this is just this is where the Lord has us right now and So far we have gotten no direction or no open doors to move. And so ⁓ if the Lord says move, we'll go. We that's how we got here. That's how we'll leave. ⁓ so I'm not blaming anybody. You have to do what you have to do, but I'm just asking people to give me a different idea rather than just just leave because that's not an option for everybody, you know? And I I can't argue with the Lord. I can argue with you, but I can't argue with the Lord or I won't. There are some examples in the Bible of people arguing about with the Lord and it it never ends well. It never ends well. ⁓ I mean I think about Moses, you know, I've I just finished up Deuteronomy, and you know, Moses was God's favorite. He was favor highly favored by God, and even he got mad at God, and God, you know, got mad at him and was like, okay, if you want to play it like that, you're not gonna see the promised land. You're my favorite. I love you above all men, but you're not gonna see it. So I'm not trying to argue with God, is what I'm saying. But you need to understand that the misery is the point. The idea that the idea is for you to be miserable. It's for you. They don't care. You can go to those meetings, you can talk to them. He's a socialist. He doesn't believe in representation of the people. He doesn't believe in government by the people for the people. We have a communist problem here. The last names of most of the people in California government should concern you. Those are last names that come directly from communist South American countries and Chinese and China and Chinese countries and China. I know there was a time I was like, don't say that, Kira. That that sounds racist, but I realized after a number of years of being one of those people who was like, Well, you know, this is just how it is, and this is our multicultural society. No, all of these things have consequences. And one of the consequences remember when I told you about be careful about welcoming new Canadians, you know, a bunch of new Canadians. We like ⁓ They're kind of like us. We kind of share cultural similarities. But they're baked in in these very left wing ideas. So even if they are more conservative Canadians, there's still concepts that are hard for them to wrap their minds around. And it's the same way with a lot of these people who are first the the first generation of immigrants. They're the sons and daughters or grandkids of genera of ⁓ first generation immigrants. And ⁓ so they've been baked in these communist and socialists. systems of governance. And that's how they're ruling. And then we have the DSA it across the country, but even in New York City, giving interviews on mainstream television saying, yeah, our goal is to abolish the Senate. Our goal is to destroy the United States Constitution and replace it with something more fair. How can we possibly allow the DSA to be a legitimate political party in this country? We shouldn't ⁓ no there should be no political party who who is allowed to run on abolishing the constitution when the constitution is the one thing that allows them to run for office. Hello? Is this thing on? We're not even in Crazy Town anymore, folks. We've pretty much ridden through Crazy Town and we are about to ride right off that cliff, Velma and Louise style. The misery is the point. Los Angeles, I don't know what to tell you. I really don't know what to tell you. I really don't know what you can do. Now it's August. Election results were primary results were certified. At the beginning of July, Phyllis Saley at the Department of Justice said that that's when they would open the investigation. I haven't seen any other news reports. I haven't looked around to dig up. I'm sure I could find something. I haven't looked around, but maybe that's still going on. For sure, we'll get a new round of curiosity when it comes to November and we're seeing how the polling works out and how many the what the turnout is. I mean, Los Angeles is going to quote elect. Karen Bass again with probably two percent of tur of turnout. And why would it I keep asking this of people too? You know, there's a lot I I talk to a lot of Republican leaders who are who have a lot of criticism for Republican voters not getting out the vote. And I get that. I'm frustrated too. And I do want you to vote. But I also ⁓ always try to give the flip side of that, which is If people have no expectation of their vote really making a difference, if they see how no matter how many of us come out, they just keep finding these same amount of votes to overcome, it's it's depression. It's it's voter depression. And I don't know how the California political ⁓ the California Republican Party can expect to motivate Republican voters to get out there to the polls. When it doesn't feel like they're fighting for voter integrity. There are people who talk about it, right? I might hear Corinne Rankin, who is the chairwoman, out there on a news program, or I'll see ⁓ her on social media and she's knocking on doors and she's doing her part, you know, she's encouraging everybody to go vote. But that's one thing. That's one thing. That's not necessarily leadership, that's inspiration, I guess. But it's not necessarily leadership. Leadership would be, you know, the the California GOP being aggressive about lawsuits, about media, about advertisement programs, everything. We have not seen that type of aggression from the state party. And so people don't feel like their votes will be fought for. So you can keep telling Republicans to go out and vote. And you could win an election if all of you would just go out to vote. But we keep telling our leaders we need real leadership. We need people who give us a reason to go out to vote and give us a reason to believe that our votes will be fought for once they're cast, not just when you're campaigning, but after they're cast. We don't have that assurance. So the vote, the Republican vote is depressed. But my opinion is that I'm not sure it it would make a difference. If every Republican voter came out in the state tomorrow, we it would be a huge tuna turnout. It would be enough to win, except for you can ac we can accept ballots up to seven days after election day, and they don't need to be postmarked and they don't need to be from a certain address and they don't need proof of citizenship. They can just manufacture as many ballots as they need to overcome whatever effort we put into getting at the getting to the ballot box. So I I do want people to turn out. I I don't I'm I've never not voted. I don't believe in that. Even when my was raised in a hippie socialist liberal household, my mom hippie socialist liber ⁓ liberal, but she always told me to value your vote. She always taught me to be covetous of that and never waste it. So Personally, no, I never not vote. I don't do it. It's a privilege and ⁓ I exercise that privilege, but I am just saying I understand when people feel like no one's listening and no one cares. ⁓ let's go to excuse me. Let's go to another example of how the misery is a point. Let's do this first story. Energy Commissioner Karen regulates tires. This is my story. Over at Substat. But it is I took it from KCRA, the wonderful Ashley Zavala reported on this latest regulatory move by the California Energy Commission. and I begin this by saying California has never met an item or industry they didn't want to control, and their latest takeover is both mundane and maddening. It's tires. So wait till you hear this. I want to thank I want to say thank you to Ashley Zavala at KCRA. ⁓ California regulators on Monday approved new rules that will restrict what tires you can buy when it's time to replace them on your car. In unanimous vote in a unanimous vote. The California Energy Commission voted to adopt new rules that will phase out the sale of replacement tires that don't meet certain energy efficient standards. At the center of this is a tire's rolling resistance or how much energy a tire uses as it rolls down the road. Lower resistance means a vehicle. uses less gas or electricity. New cars come with generally efficient tires, but consumers typically replace those with higher rolling resistance tires. ⁓ 'cause they're cheaper, basically. The cheaper tires are the ones you replace on your car. You put on your car. We just got a new set of tires. Same thing. We weren't gonna go for the high end, high efficiency tires. Not when I'm paying seven hundred dollars a year to register my car every year. To register my five, six, seven, ten-year-old car every single damn year. No, thank you. I said it's a it is yet another exhausting attack on the most basic aspects of life in California. Driving. It's another exhausting attack on the taxpayers who keep these officials fat and happy. And speaking of happy, let's take a look at the commissioner of the California Energy Commission, Nancy Skinner. Look at her as she announces this incredible victory over Rubber. Let's play this. And while you're playing it, I want you to look at Nancy. I want you to look at how she licks her lips, how she bears her teeth. Now I don't want you to think of these as as signs of discomfort. Rather, I want you to look at these as animalistic, ⁓ instinctual responses that sort of bleed out of the face that you can't control. I think of Think as if you're looking at an animal, a tiger or a bear or something, okay? Not a a little old lady. All right, play it. AE H four four was passed more than twenty years ago. The California Energy Commission has never regulated tires until this moment, essentially. What happened? Was it like how how did this happen? Well, we regulate hair dryers, T Vs, refrigerators, ⁓ tea we don't like those either. Right? And tires are really not much different. So I think we've got some pretty good experience. Is your tire not different from your fridge? And the tires, you know, it's it's like if I had been on the commission those twenty years ago, maybe we wouldn't have taken so long, but at least we're doing it today. So did did you push it? You're the one who If we could bring each California's cost down just a little bit, then why wouldn't we? Okay. You why it's that's Just stop that, Scott. Thank you. ⁓ can bring me back up. ⁓ The title of my article is called The Soft Glow of Communism. It's sort of a companion piece to I'm ⁓ it's almost becoming a series now on like why do these people look this way? My first article was I included I cl include links there. My first article was on the blue haired nose pierced like the pierced liberal progressive weirdos at Starbucks. It was about that. And I I talked about what their uniform is. The second one, both of these kind of went kind of viral. The second one was about the Karen glasses, right? The like the Cracker Barrel CEO who ruined Cracker Barrel. And I talked about those glasses and why, you know, that's a uniform. That's the manager class uniform. The blue hairs are the soldier class. The Karen glasses and the and the Karen Bob are the ⁓ are the manager class. And there's a certain look that that washed over this lady. And I was trying, I was like, what is this look on her face? And I realized, you know, it's the soft. glow of communism. It is the the almost sexualized excitement about ruling single-handedly over helpless people. You recognize that face, right? When I told you, think of her as a bear or a lion or a predatory animal. Suddenly that smile, it's not a smile. It's a she's baring her teeth. That means something. She's ⁓ licking her lips like well, I it wasn't really a lick lip actually. It was she's sticking out her tongue. This is one of the involuntary you can I'm pretty much a body language expert 'cause I watch a lot on YouTube. So ⁓ but you can just practice this. I I have ⁓ when I learned it from the body language guys, which is like when you're talking to somebody and they do this, a lot of times it is not ⁓ It's a unv involuntary. A lot of what happens in our faces is involuntary, even when we think we're good at controlling it. ⁓ but the body language guys, they're trained, right? They can ignose even the micro expressions. But that's a pretty easy one. It's a good one to start at. ⁓ a lot of people might think this is like hmm thinking or no, this is sticking out your tongue in contempt. That's a that's a move of contempt. So just you know, next time you're talking to somebody and they do that, if you're having a heated conversation, that they they They have contempt for you. They're showing you contempt. And then when they d bare their teeth right after, that's a threat. Yeah, we got a chatter here. Brian says, Thanks for standing up for America. We are listening and we care. Thank you, Brian. You're welcome. I don't know how much good it is, but I think we all have to just say what we have to say. About stuff. And then people think stuff's not going on. Stuff's not happening. So, ⁓ but back to Commissioner Karen. You notice ⁓ she moved from, you know, hey, this is this if I had been Commissioner earlier, we would have instituted earlier in it earlier. ⁓ we I mean we regulate appliances, we regulate dishwashers, hair dryers. Yeah, we hate that too, Karen. You shouldn't be touching those things either, Karen. My dishwasher sucks, Karen. Because that's your nobody asked you for these regulations. This is an unelected role. This is an appointed role. As far as I know, no term limits, no accountability, no transparency. Not a single person has asked for tires to be regulated. And then she moves from that to, well, think about how high gas prices are. If we can save the California consumer even a little bit of money, this isn't saving any money. You communist Karen. I was gonna use a different cohort. You communist, this isn't saving Americans money. Amer we're gonna have to go out now and purchase more expensive tires for our cars that are already ridiculously expensive. My friend in Ohio was laughing at me one day because we both had to re we both had to register our cars at the same time, renew our registration. He paid thirty-four dollars. I paid seven hundred and thirty dollars. And that's every single year. And I don't drive a new vehicle and I don't drive a luxury vehicle. My car's a 2018. That's every single year. I think it's gonna go down this year. I think it's around the five five hundred mark this year. And then so Jin she's talking about, ⁓ we're gonna help you save money on gas. Well, what might okay, and then where will I have to put it? Into tires. I mean, also I'm not, I'm not, right? Now these regulations are supposed to they do this all the time too. They kick it down the road. It's supposed to be enacted by twenty thirty. But you know what's gonna happen in twenty thirty, folks, which is like a mere three years away. You know what's gonna happen in twenty thirty if they go through with this? I'm driving across the border to Arizona to get my tires. I'm driving to Texas to get my tires. Next time I'm driving through Texas, I'll stop for some tires and bring those back. I'll order my tires. There'll be a tire black market. The Mexicans will bring tires up from Mexico. It doesn't make sense because it's not supposed to make sense. Do you understand? This woman doesn't care about the environment. She doesn't care about the voters. She doesn't care about the taxpayer. She cares about being in control of something. I don't even think a woman at that level has any kind of real nefarious plans. Like there are some people at the top, like I'm really blackpilled now. So there's some people at the top, I think they have this a total diff totally different agenda that really has nothing to do with governing the American people. I think that they're There's a whole lot of secrets in our areas of government that we just may never know. And there are people who belong to a class of people that we probably never even see. I don't even think that she's one of those people, right? Who's just very clever and she's got her own secret agenda. I don't. I just think that she's been useless enough and evil enough to snake her way t into an appointed position like this. Maybe she knows where some bodies are buried. Maybe she's sleeping with somebody. I don't know. I don't know. But she's managed to do this and I think it's her it's a place for control and you can tell because She she has nothing but contempt for you. And she can sit there and lie in your face and say, ⁓ well, we just want to make ⁓ traveling easier and less expensive and this will be more efficient. Or no, we know you don't mean it. You know you don't mean it. The whole the point is the misery. The point is the misery. The point is every little place where you have a little bit of freedom, even the kind of flipping hairdryer you buy, they're gonna tell they're gonna remind you at every corner that they are your daddy. They're your boss. They're in control. You saw the look on that woman's face, Commissioner Karen. You saw a lot of her during COVID. You saw her. You remember her. She was the lady who was yelling at you about your mask when you were walking down the street or you were getting on the flight. ⁓ your mask. Did you know that COVID has a sound? COVID, the COVID virus is not just identifiable in a microscope. It also emits a frequency. Did you know that? The COVID virus has its own frequency. And if you are if you're smart enough, you can actually learn how to ⁓ learn how to imitate this frequency. I know, I know it. So fair warning, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you the COVID frequency right now. Here it is. This is what COVID sounds like. Ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, excuse me, ma'am, your mask is down, ma'am, ma'am, excuse me, ma'am. That's what COVID sounded like. That's what that lady is, right? She's that Karen. And that look on your her face, that is that's that is her all of her evil ⁓ fantasies have come true. ⁓ I can finally ⁓ have a little bit of control. I have no control over my own life. I have no control over my own desires. I have no control ⁓ of the people in you know in my family and I'm treated poorly. But this is And a little part of life where I can exercise some pretty big control and it just makes me feel good. They're the parking meter maids of government, right? To the max. Parking meter maid maxing. That's who she is. So she's just so excited to have some control over you. Do you think she's gonna have the more expensive tires on her car even though she can afford it? I'll bet you a hundred dollars her cars aren't even registered in California. I'll bet you a hundred more, she doesn't even live in California. I'll bet you she lives in Arizona or tax us. She lives in a state that she can fly back from easily when she needs, but she can't afford it here. She can get A mansion in Arizona as opposed to a small condo here in California. Those are just guesses, those are just my opinions, but I would not be shocked at all to find out. But again, the misery is the point. Those people want you to be miserable. They want you to be angry. A thriving population is a dangerous population. They cannot be controlled. But a miserable population can be controlled. 'Cause you know you're just scraping paycheck to paycheck, scraping to get over the next tax bill, the next tax hill. Scraping, scraping, scraping. ⁓ the misery is the point. And again, I don't know. What do you do? I don't know. And then Steve Hilton says if he wins, he'll be able to make new appointments to some of these areas like the California ⁓ Energy Commission. Another reason why I really think they are going to pull every trick in the book to make sure Steve doesn't win. And then what? It's feeling I I don't know, I just I I see a lot of these stories breaking, but I don't see anything being done about it or I don't know what can be done. We talked about that there's a council, there's a city council here in California that has the whole city council got recalled and they're just refusing to go. The voters united, they funded the recall, they executed the recall, the recall passed unanimously. They recalled four of their six members, and they're just refusing to go. And so that's that. There so then that's that. Then there's no recall. There actually was no recall. The same people are making decisions for the city. And what did the people of the city do? We're in so much trouble here. And I I just I wish there was somebody who had a satisfactory answer for me. No one has the answer for me. What do we do? And every time I talk to any of our leaders, and some of these people are my friends, whenever I talk to them, they're like, we need to get out the vote. We need to turn out the vote. And I just, I don't know how that's working for us. I'm gonna go out there and advocate to get out the vote. Don't worry about that. I'm always gonna be doing that. But it feels like a lie these days. It feels like a lie that if I just work hard enough and push hard enough, I can push that candidate over the top. It feels like we are a part of the misery. By just telling people, you just work harder, just work harder, work harder this election. No, work harder. Work harder this time. No, you don't work hard enough last time. Work harder this time. And then you can win. Work harder this time. Work harder. And if we get one little win, there's five losses coming behind it. You know, we pass prop thirty six and then what? We now we it's just not funded. We're we still we cannot help ourselves every time we try to help ourselves. So I don't know what it's frustrating. I don't know what to do. I'm gonna do this last story before we go. Let's do the number two, the Jamaican Bisa holder. This one blew my mind. We're talking a lot about the illegal migrants who come across the border and and break over, you know, break down our walls and our fences. And but here is another story that w ⁓ one of my ⁓ followers tagged me in on X. Thank you very much. Can't remember who that was, but thank you. Yosemite National Park chef. Charged with sexually abusing a 19-year-old co-worker, says the DOJ. A Jamaican national on a seasonal visa has been charged with sexually abusing his 19-year-old co-worker at Yosemite National Park, according to the Federal Department of Justice. Federal prosecutors announced Friday that 36-year-old Jamaican national Donovan Cain, who was working as a chef in Yosemite, sexually abused his 19-year-old colleague on the evening of July 17th. The incident was reported to law enforcement the next day, resulting in Cain's arrest on july thirty first. ⁓ Why is there a Jamaican working as a chef in a national park? Why is our national park hiring HB one or HB two visas to work in national parks? I know four chefs right now. I know four professional chefs right now in the Los Angeles area who would take a job like that, who would go and take a seasonal job. Who would love a job like that? Why are we still doing why are we doing this? There should be no foreigners working in our national parks. That's a national security risk. If you do not have a citizen if you do not have citizenship, you should not be working anywhere in the government. Period. Period. That doesn't even sound controversial to me. But again, this man comes from a culture where women aren't afforded the same rights and value as they are here in the United States. And I don't care what you tell me about Jamaica. No, no. We've talked to my friend Roxanne about Jamaica and how horrible it is there. He's coming from a socialist slash communist island where rape, murder, assault, these are regular occurrences. It's chaos in Jamaica unless you're on a resort. It's chaos. And a lot of people don't even want to go to those resorts anymore. It's just they they don't know how to control the chaos. So he comes from a culture where there is no punishment for treating women poorly. Or rarely there is punishment for it. And he brought that attitude into our national parks. This man is feeding families. Around children. We don't know who he is, where he really came from. He's a foreigner on a foreign seasonal visa. Now, why would the National Park Service hire somebody like that? And not an American. And I'm not believing this. We they it was a giant SIAP through the nineties and the eighties, man. When ⁓ and you know, I remember Rushton Boss saying this all the time. Well, they always tell us, ⁓ I well, Americans just won't do these jobs. Americans won't go pick pick strawberries in the fields. Americans that's bullshit. It's not true at all. Gat, can you bring me back up? The types of Americans who would take these jobs are the teenagers, the college students. So be I used to do that. I used to work ⁓ housekeeping during the summer. Actually was c sort I guess I could call myself a subcontractor when I was like twelve, thirteen, fourteen, my neighbor across the road, Windsor, she cleaned tourist cottages back home in Canada. on on our small Canadian island. She cleaned tours college cottages, but she was an older lady and tired, had a quite a few kids and did her time. And so it was really hard for her to do the bending work, you know, like w making the beds and ⁓ having to clean under things. And so she actually subcontracted me to come in with her a few hours a day and do the bending and the lifting stuff. And it worked out great. It was great. I mean for a twelve, thirteen year old self making a couple bucks an hour. Yeah. Great, loved it. Never said no to that work. And Winter never said no to that work. Now that was that's a Canadian example. But the point is this that ⁓ a lot of these jobs, you know, where younger people would do these jobs, they are they are boxed out of these jobs by seasonal workers and illegal migrants. A lot of stuff has to happen all at once to change things. I don't know if it can, but I know that we you have to start where you are. You have to start right where you are, and you probably start by reporting businesses that are using illegal labor, and that's gonna mean actually a lot of friendly fire. Because way too many people have gotten accustomed to illegal labor. But you know what? Maybe if everyone starts getting uncomfortable, we'll start having a conversation about why we use so much illegal labor in this country. Pro tip, it's related to minimum wage. Which is like every time a Democrat tells me, ⁓ if you deport a migrants, we're not gonna have anybody to change our sheets or Change our sheets or be our servants or our nannies and serve us food. We're not gonna have any of those people. And they never think about what they're saying. What you're saying is that the minimum wage that you keep shoving down our throats year after year is so expensive that it prohibits a business owner from properly staffing their own business so they have to use illegal labor. Which means they are paying less for that labor. That labor is working underneath the minimum wage that you voted for and swore to all of us was justice and necessary for people to support their families. These are the same people making this argument. So everybody, if everybody, including the business owners, have to pay the price for hiring illegal labor, then maybe those business owners will also be better advocates for lowering the minimum wage. For at least not raising it anymore. For getting the government out of the minimum wage business. Maybe they'll be on our side then. I don't know what to do. I'm tired. I'm exhausted with all of this. California, we cannot be in the we cannot stay in the situation where all we're doing is putting out fires. Week to week, month to month. We need a complete top to bottom do over. We need Steve Hilton in there. I really don't know what's gonna happen if we don't get Steve Hilton in there. I really don't. I don't think it can it will be business as usual in this state. I think we'll be in really, really big trouble. And I think a lot of people are gonna leave. A lot of people. ⁓ and again, you don't want that. You don't want you don't want us coming to you. We're coming with all our money. We're coming with it's so expensive here. Your little red state looks like, you know, heaven on earth. Where a little fifty thousand dollar paycheck. ⁓ and you know a little fifty thousand dollar a year paycheck can make you upper middle class in some areas of this country. Fifty thousand dollars is what poor people make in California. So we're gonna take our money And our dumb ideas and our boredom and our revenge in some cases. And we're gonna come to you and we're gonna visit it upon you. Like, help us, help us, Mr. President, Milla Saley, Harmeet, like the DOJ, whoever is out there, help us. This doesn't feel like democracy. This feels like slavery. And I guess that's the point. I guess we're supposed to be miserable. All right, I'm gonna leave it here. follow me everywhere, follow all the things, hit me up here on X at Cura Davis or go to just curadavis dot com to see what I'm writing and and doing and I post my meeting appearances sometimes over there too, so I'm tired, y'all. I'm tired. Listen, don't forget that sunlight is the best disinfectant. So bring on the sunshine.
