Latest / The Orange Report with Kira Davis / Ep.38: CA is a mess...what is our recourse as Americans?
Transcript
- Kira Davis: Hello, everybody. Welcome to another post, another post-election Orange Report OC. I'm Kira Davis. And you know what? I almost said I'm Kira Davis filling in for, because usually that's like what comes after me introducing myself. I do so much fill-in work. It's kind of my main gig. By the way, if you're a radio host in any other part of the country or a podcast host and you need a fill-in host and you don't know where to find that person, I am available. I do professional fill-in work. I have plenty of recommendations. And I'm good at my job, so give me a call. I don't do it for free, obviously. All right, I'm just pinning this to my profile here. Okay, so I I don't wanna I don't wanna talk too long. This is still a weird June's just a weird month for the show and for me. My dear mother-in-law passed away. We're gonna have two services for her because she's from two different places and you know, my whole family's reeling. My producer's been out of town, so I really was gonna take this week off, but you know, California news keeps rolling on. And so since, you know, I don't really care what any of this looks like, and I don't think the people who listen to me care about what it looks like. I just decided to turn on the mic and talk because I think it is time to talk about what is coming next. Look, as I record this today, Spencer Pratt has dropped to third place. Steve Hilton is still holding on to second, even though he wasn't first, still holding on to second. But listen, we have, you know, ostensibly another three weeks. of counting left for in in voting. So you know, anything can happen. Tom Tom Steyer has picked up, he's he's broken the teens. He's in the twenties. I think he's at twenty one percent. He started out at I think on election night at seventeen percent. So obviously the fix is in. I mean, if if in the next three weeks Steve Hilton manages to drop below Tom Steyer, that really will be that really will be ridiculous. Look, the fix is in here. We've known it. We we and Cal it's not I I would like to also ask everybody to stop lecturing me in my comments section on X. Well, what did you think was gonna happen? I've never said anything different. I've never said that anything different was gonna happen. What I said was We have to make it too big to rig, because the rig's gonna be on. So we have to make it too big to rig. And what I have again, this is why it's important, even if there is not election fraud fraud going on, you have to have elections you can trust. Because the point it it's not that ⁓ you know, I'm not saying that there's no ballot fraud or but you even to tell people that. Look, you know, you're just don't believe your lion eyes. In other words, that's what I'm trying to say. When you tell people, don't believe l your lion eyes or you know, this it just is what it is. It erodes trust in the system. But even to tell people ahead of time, look, you know there's gonna be cheating, why even bother? I don't even know why you bothered to try. That's what a lot of people say. I don't even know why you bothered to try. Cause that's the American way, my friend. What do you mean? Like, what is the other thing to do? I have a I have a friend on Facebook, Salty, talking to you. And, you know, he was like, I made a comment about the cheating and he's like, Well, we know that Republicans are not going to do anything about it anyway, so what's the difference? And my response to him is, ⁓ okay. ⁓ I guess, you know, they don't need to do anything since all of your amazing efforts out there. ⁓ are leading the way. You know, it's always people who have the most complaints that that want to tell you to give up. I don't want to hear more any more complaints from people who aren't in the fight and aren't willing to do anything. You get out, right? You should get out. If you've given up, you should get out. Don't tell me to leave because I'm, you know, trying and what I'm doing isn't working. You're not even trying. So I'm I just don't want to hear anymore from people who have. completely eliminated themselves from the equation and completely eliminated themselves from the battle. I think you're cowards and I don't think what you have to say counts. And I get it. It's frustrating. I'm frustrated too. I'm not but don't take my frustration as naivete. I'm not stupid. I'm not silly. I understand. But what I am saying here is I can only go on on what information I have in front of me and what history tells me. And I Through 2024. I can't believe how many Republicans lived through 2024 and now want to tell me that it's hopeless to do anything in California. I lived through 2024 and I saw what it means when the American people stand up and say no more and they do that together in unison. We can do that here in California. I believe that we did just do that. The system is so rigged though, it's difficult to get on the board. experienced a little bit of disconnection there. I'm just gonna keep going and we'll see. This records anyway and I'll release the recording later. But it's difficult to get on the board just because of all of the tricks that Democrats and left wingers play here. But I I just I wanna ask this question. This is why I actually I got in this mic today. What are our options here? What are the options in California? What do we do when the entire system has been corrupted and the entire country knows it's been corrupted? I don't understand. I I mean, I don't it forget trying to understand them. I'm no longer going to entertain anybody, anybody anywhere on the left who says there's no evidence of cheating or that's just how long it takes in California. There should be no American in this country who is satisfied with the idea of taking a month. To count ballots. There should be no American in this country who thinks that it is okay to accept ballots up to seven days after the election closes. How on earth could anyone think that that is okay? Anyone who if President Trump made that law, the left would be screaming bloody murder. Screaming. We would never hear the end of it. looking at checking out some of these comments here. We know that these elections are corrupt. President Trump, that's why he walked out of that interview with Kristen Walker. She knows elections are corrupt. We know elections are corrupt. He knows elections are corrupt. Democrats know elections are corrupt. They know it because they won't even let the government audit our voter rolls. They won't even let us audit our voter rolls. Forget about Donald Trump. If they want to be like Trump, Trump, Trump. They won't even let us, the citizens of California. Collect an audit. If they what are they hiding, right? If if everything is fine and this is fine and there's nothing to see here, then what are they hiding? Of course of course things are corrupt here. But I'm no longer satisfied with the solution that so many progressives and way too many conservatives keep lead leaving us or keep telling us we need to accept, which is to just pack up and leave. What can you do? Leave it to its own devices. Forget about some of us just simply not being able to do that. That is, forget about it's not even oftentimes it's not even about not wanting to leave your family. Do you know how much? In a state where you have where almost everyone lives paycheck to paycheck, even the wealthy, how much money do you have to save to leave? Do you know what I mean? A lot of people can't even afford to leave. And where would you go? And for why? You know? My husband and I have had the conversation often, every Californian has at this point, we have had the conversation. Where do we go? Where would we go if we left here? Because we moved here from a home. We moved here from Indiana. And in that time, a lot of people left, a lot of our family left there too, because we moved from a place where there was no opportunity. We moved from Gary, Indiana. We moved from a place where there was no opportunity. And then a lot of the family that we left behind joined us. They did the same thing. They moved not to California, but to other states. So our home is no longer there. I don't really have a home. I've been a nomad my whole life, divorced parents, traumatic childhood. Like I've been a mo nomad my entire life. California really is the only place I've ever called home. It really is. So where do we go? Where do we put down roots? Wh who you know, who who do we go to? It's really I just you can't ask people to make that their only solution. Some people have taken that solution and it's been heartbreaking and heart wrenching for them. And I don't have any judgment for those people. Some people have taken that. But some of us can't. And some of us aren't called to. That is the main thing. You know, my husband and I moved here from a different place and we didn't know anybody. And we could go somewhere else where we don't know anybody, but this is where we're called to be. I can't leave just because you think I should leave, just because you think I'm stupid for staying. I can't. God has not called me to. How many people told Noah that he was an idiot for building the ark? That he was ridiculous. What are you doing? This is a ridiculous project. What are you even what is a flood? What's a flood? You know? What are you even preparing for? So many people. How many people? How many? We don't know, but I'm sure many. People ridiculed Noah and told him, Move on from this, go build a house, or or you know, how many homes could you build for poor people while you're building this ark for you and your family for an event that's never gonna happen? How many people told Noah that? I can't leave. It's not time for me to leave California. And it's not time for a lot of others to leave California. Again, people have left. No judgment for them. Save yourselves, you know? If God has directed you out of this state, then by all means, take that direction. But for those of us who have been called to stay and fight, What kind of Christian are you? What kind of American are you? Let me not put it on you. Let me direct this at myself. What kind of Christian am I? What kind of American am I? If I believe that I have a calling from God, if I believe in the liberties and the victories of God, if I believe in the calling of God to say, Lord, and then just say, Lord, I it's hopeless. I just don't see how this works out. I have to go. Kind of American am I? What kind of a Christian am I? I was just reading ⁓ in the Word this morning. I'm in Genesis and I was reading the story of Joseph, who was sold into captivity by his brothers. By the way, brothers who had previous previously gone and slain an entire city of men over their sister who was raped and kidnapped by. The king of Shemek's son, also named Shemek, who raped Dinah, Dinah who had decided she had to leave, but she had to leave her father's camp. Such an interesting story if you just follow the trajectory of this. Jacob goes, he he heads to the land, heads towards the land. God tells him, calls, calls him Israel, tells him, Go head to the promised land and take that land. And he stops. Stops to see his brother Esau. And he stops and and breaks camp for a while, probably years, when God told him to move on to the promised land. But for some reason, for reasons, Jacob felt moved to stop and water his flock and grow his territory again. And his daughter, Tyna, gets it into her head, she's gonna go check on the women of Shemek. She wants to see what go what goes on with the women there. I don't know why, but I think it's it's sort of implied in the Bible that she just wasn't satisfied with her life in the father's camp and she wanted to see what life was like for a woman in the big city. Not the first woman who's fallen to that. And what happened, she was so beautiful and she really had God's marking on her. And evil men will notice that about you ladies. Evil men will see good in you and they'll want that for themselves. They're vampires. That's why you have to protect that. And so he took it from her, defiled her, and then fell in love with her, decided he wanted to marry her, so kept Her. And Jacob said, you know, and Jacob's and ⁓ excuse me, Jacob's sons said, Well, how we can't let this stand. We've got to go get her back and kill her. And Jacob said, No, no, no, that's not how these things work. I'm gonna have to negotiate for this. As a father, you know, I feel it was his duty to go in and raise hell. But Jacob had already once been disobedient to God by stopping when where he shouldn't have stopped. And so I think this is another I believe, now there are other interpretations of this, but I believe that this is another instance of Jacob lagging on God's will or not trusting in God's will, not trusting God also in this case. And so his sons wanted to to do one thing, he wanted to do another. Perhaps there was something in the middle that should have been worked out. The solution is pretty brutal and I think kind of cool in a way, but in the end. The brothers went and negotiated as Jacob told them to do on his behalf for their sister. And they said, Look, we can't give you our sister to we can't give our sister to uncircumcised men. But we will if you'll just go get yourselves circumcised. And Shemek said, Okay, that sounds like a good deal. We'll get all the men circumcised, and then I can just have this beautiful woman as my wife. And they went, they went, got circumcised, and as they were recovering from their very painful circumcision, the men of Jacob's house murdered. All of them. S slew, slain, slaughtered, I guess. Slaughtered all of the warring age men in Shibek. Took their sister back. ⁓ no, I don't think it was what Jacob wanted. I'm not sure w it's what God wanted. But I think it's kind of a cool response just to go in and be like, Yeah, we're gonna slit your throats and take our sister back. Anyway, that's what I as a woman wanted Jacob to do in the first place. Anyways. Wouldn't call that a godly reconciliation, right? Like the situation was not rectified, I think, the way God would have ordained it to be given the type of leader Jacob was. I think that was a moment of disobedience. So fast forward however many years, 40 years down the road, or whatever, and Jacob's favorite son is Joseph. The other sons don't like that. They they sell Jacob into slavery. Or Joseph into slavery slavery, into Egyptian slavery. And ⁓ Jacob thinks his son has been killed, taken from him forever. A bit of consequence for Jacob, for his own lack of leadership. Right. And then he failed to protect his son. He failed to raise sons who would watch out for their younger brother, right? So another moment of failed leadership that came to bite him. Anyways, all this to say. That all of this story is connected. Joseph go suffers. He did not choose to be in slavery, but he did choose to serve to the best of his ability. And that was recognized by the Pharaoh. And the Pharaoh put him in charge of all of Egypt. And then he put him in jail because of a lie of his wife. But Joseph did not lose hope there. He he he represented God faithfully and honestly and became a leader in prison. Just like Paul did later on, and then was brought back to the land of Egypt and to lead again because of Pharaoh. And then he be he was appointed the leader over even his own brothers who sold him into slavery. And then later on, God reconciled that relationship between Joseph and his father Jacob, between Jacob and all of his sons, between Jacob and the nation, right? That was rectified. It took a long time to get justice. Because of the poor decision making of God's own people and the terrible decision making of God's enemies. But in the end, the situation was rectified and glory was brought to God and God's prophecy came true. All that to say, I just I don't think it is good enough to say I'm suffering under Pharaoh, and so I'm going to leave. Especially when you know God has placed you in a place to be a leader. If you're in that place and you're a Christian, you are a leader. That's that. Christians must be leaders in their communities. Not the leader, but leaders. So if I'm here in California and yes, we are suffering, yes, there is great injustice here. But is it my place to say I am going to greener pastures? Again, no judgment for those who have none of my business where God calls you. All I'm saying is, for me, I have been called here and I cannot be hopeless. I don't have the ability. I don't have the ability as someone who has lived through ⁓ many hopeless hopeless things. I just don't see how you can be a child of the king and feel hopeless. And maybe it is saying maybe I I I it does feel like I'm saying, well all we have right now in California is faith. Yeah, all we have right now is faith. But faith is not hopeless. Faith is the promise of hope yet to be delivered. It's belief in the promises of the things that are yet to come. So what is our recourse here in California? Okay, for one thing, we should be praying. We should be praying for our state. We should be praying for God's sovereignty in our state. But I do think that we do have to ask the question. If we've if we've gone to the absolute extent we can go with voting, and we've used the system in front of it as in front of us, as corrupt as it is, if we've used that system to the best of our abil ability, we have engaged in it. with honesty and passion. And it is still working against the American people and it is still rife with corruption. What are our options then? Do you keep voting in a system that is completely corrupted? I know a lot of Republicans has are have already given up. Listen, voter ID isn't going anywhere if we don't win at least one of these offices, big offices on the ballot. We need if Republic We need Republicans to have a reason to get out in November. And I know a lot of you have already said, ⁓ I give up. It's worthless. If it's worthless, what's our recourse? What is the next thing we can do? What do the what does the American people do when their elections aren't working or working for them? The federal government has some responsibility here. How can we as a as an American state remain under the auspices of the Constitution if we allow such explicitly anti-constitutional behavior here? If the state of California cannot guarantee the human rights of the citizens of California, and we are also the citizens of the United States, what responsibility does the federal government have to come in and protect us? I don't know all the answers to these questions, actually. I'm just I'm just asking them and maybe someone can answer them. What responsibility do we have as citizens to overwhelm our government and overtake our government? Are we just to wait for election cycle to election cycle and then start the process all over again? I don't think we can keep doing this. The more entr I d I think that Democrats are fully entrenched here. If we can't do it this year, then I think we need to look at other options. What are other options? I don't know. I think armed rebellion is an option. I have a hate to be, you know, hyperbolic here and I don't want to be inciting revolution. This is not what I'm doing because I'm not prepared for it. I want to tell you I am not prepared. I am not prepared for an armed revolution. I am not prepared to lead an armed revolution. I do not want an armed revolution of any kind. I do not want that. What I'm saying and I'm not advocating for it. Do not revolt. What I'm saying though is what are the other options? At what point do Americans revolt or do we have that in us anymore? I think that that's what COVID was, a bit of a stress test to see how salty we would get when we have our civil rights pulled from us. And guess what? We failed. In the moment we failed. Now we got our act together and in twenty twenty-four. Well, you know what happened in 2024. We got it together. That's that. We're still adjudicating election night of 2024. We're still figuring out how to make that work for America, but we are on our way. And to anybody, anybody who thought that that was going to happen overnight, shame on you. You're foolish. And you're part of the problem. I hear from so many people who excitedly voted for Donald Trump on election night and now here in June of 2026, they're ⁓ well, he didn't do this. I expected X to be done right away. I expected Y to be done right away. Okay, then I don't think you understand how the president's office works or how government works. But none of this happened overnight and none of it can change overnight. And if your loyalties are changing overnight because you didn't get what you wanted overnight, I think you're part of the problem. Serious Americans only, please. Suffering is part of the package here. If our founding fathers our founding fathers took almost a decade to do what they did. If our founding fathers had come in and said, Well, okay, we've done the you know, how long was it before we ratified the constitution and then we had a president? You know, like a lot of BS happened, a lot of bullshit happened while our founding fathers were working this whole thing out. It took time, it takes time, and what has been done to us has taken time. So I I very much question the patriotism of somebody who was excited to vote for President Trump. on election night in twenty twenty four, and then eighteen months later is going, Well, the whole world didn't change and my pet issue especially didn't change. And gosh, that would have been so easy for him to do. Like literally that's what everybody is saying about their pet issue. Well, it would only take one second to sign an executive order. Why didn't no. If you don't understand how government works, maybe you're part of the problem. If you think that everything was supposed to change overnight, maybe you're part of the problem. And I think maybe it's not your fault, but we have a lack of civics education in this country. You know, when people say Congress takes so long to get anything done, you know, if only they could that get things done. No, it's supposed to take a long time to get things done. It's supposed to be that way. That's how it's supposed to be normally. You don't want a Congress that can just do whatever they want, whenever they want. You want them to have to deliberate for a long time to change everything in America. That's why what President Trump is demanding they do is so ostentatious and is so novel, which is like, get off your asses and in you know, in a matter of months, pass the Save Act. You we need you. That's why the big beautiful bill was so amazing to get Congress to work together to get that thing passed in that amount of time. Yeah, that's a big deal. Congress is not supposed to work quickly. We don't want that. If you had civic education, you would know that too. But we don't, we're not offered civic education in this country anymore. So a lot of people I I feel this way about Christians too. I feel like Christians do this a lot too. Christians who aren't rooted in the in scripture properly, you know, the first strong wind that comes along or the first seed of doubt that gets sowed in your mind, it knocks you over. Because you haven't been properly educated or properly Prepared for prepared in scripture. Properly prepared in what it means to live the Christian life, you know, which is not an easy life to live. I wanna read to you ⁓ I'll do this since this is a willy nilly episode anyway. I wanna read to you this story that I wrote ⁓ 'cause I think this is w armed rebellion is is is it's allowable. What does the first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence say? When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with one another and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature's god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We are we have the legal and moral right to separate ourselves from the corrupt government that seeks to enslave us. All right, now let me read this article. I'm re-upping it. I'm I'm just working on doing another ⁓ publication just with a little bit of more commentary, but I'm re-upping this article today. I wrote it last year. In 1946, Angry GIs led an armed rebellion against their pol corrupt politicians. And one, we shouldn't forget who we are and we should teach it to our children. Okay. Let's read this. There are a lot of things we have resigned ourselves to politically in this country. I think many of us were surprised to discover just how resigned we were to political corruption and gridlock. Gridlock when we watched the shocking speed with which Trump hit the ground. He hasn't let up since. I wrote this in August of 2025. From tariff parity to closing the border, it turns out with the right leadership, it is really possible to do the impossible. Like the president said during his joint session speech, the media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation. We must have legislation to secure the border, but it turned out all we needed was a new president. As I watch our hallowed cities crumble under the weight of years of Democrat corruption, I think about the impossible things Trump has already accomplished and the many formerly impossible things that now seem possible. Could it be possible for portions of our American electorate to rise up and oust their corrupt leaders, taking back their towns and cities with force? It has happened before. I recently came across an interesting article from military.com published back in 2020 by author Blake Stilwell. The title is The Time World War II Veterans Overthrew a Corrupt Local Government in Tennessee. I know I'm not breaking new ground here, but I'd never heard of it. And as I read it, I realized it is a symbolic story about the few fury of the American spirit and the power of a revolutionary root. I thought some of you out there who hadn't heard it might enjoy it too. So here we go. In the nineteen forties, McMinn County in Tennessee was run by an entrenched political machine that had controlled much of Tennessee politics since the early 1930s. The head of that machine was the elected sheriff Paul Cantrell, who ruled the county with an iron fist for a decade. One of the laws the sheriff endorsed and enforced was was particularly nasty, aimed at unfairly targeting citizens for harassment and fines. One of the most, and I'm quoting here, one of the most dastardly laws in the country at that time gave the sheriff's office a fee for every person it arrested, incarcerated, and released, whether they were guilty or not. Local bar owners pointed out prominent patrons patrons for the cops to avoid, but everyone else was likely to get to get hassled. No one was safe. So here we have this town in Tennessee that enacted its own laws to give more power to law enforcement and to give more money to law enforcement. And that is voter intimidation, basically. And we have the same thing in Los Angeles and across California, where there are laws that ⁓ empower the government to find business owners for. Failing ⁓ health inspections or even for removing tent encampments, homeless encampments from in front of their businesses. They get fined for doing that. ⁓ but then reward people for sleeping in front of those businesses by giving them more needles or just leaving them alone, and ⁓ rewards illegal street vendors by letting them operate in front of the businesses. That are getting fined for having people. So already there, the the taxpaying citizen, the taxpaying voter is punished, and the non-packed taxpayer is elevated, or there's an elevated status. So that's this type of corruption, very familiar. Okay. Athens, the county seat, was h home to a large number of men who had gone off to the war. As the sheriff became more and more cruel, the local population began to crumble. excuse me, began to rumble about what the returning GIs would think about the situation when they returned. According to the American Heritage magazine's Loans Seber, they would tell themselves, wait until the GIs get back. Things will be different. Well, the veterans returned home with money in their pockets and a desperate need to celebrate and or drown their trauma. This made them a particularly ripe target for the sheriff and his harassment squad. By the elections of nineteen forty six, everyone had had just about enough. The veterans formed and out excuse me. So sorry. By the elections of nineteen forty six, everyone had had just about enough. The veterans formed an outsider political party and launched a campaign to unseat the sheriff and other political and other corrupt politicians. So they did constitutionally and peacefully what they were supposed to do. They died they dove into politics and they decided to use the system to win. Veterans from across Tennessee traveled to the county to observe and protect ballot counting. The sheriff, now Pat Mansfield, who was working closely with former Sheriff Cantrell, posted his own armed deputies at polling places in response. Reports of voter intimidation by the sheriff were coming in at an alarming pace. Government officials even went so far as to attack a black farmer as he attempted to vote. I another quote, a local representative for the GI Party was arrested for protesting voting irregularities soon after an elderly black farmer was beaten and shot by a deputy for trying to vote in one of the precincts. The GIs descended on the location, forcing the offending deputy to almost fight his way to his cruiser with a loaded pistol and the ballot box. Deputies arrived at the GI Party headquarters to make arrests for the incident, but were beaten and taken captive. They beat and detained the deputies. Fistfights and other physical altercations were reported across many county precincts. Despite the fierce battle for the safety of the ballot boxes, the sheriff's office absconded with a number and barricaded themselves inside the local jail. And this is where it gets really good. So just to recap, the GIs, the the the revolutionaries, the GIs. were trying to protect the ballot boxes, understanding that the sheriffs had placed armed guards there. They were intimidating voters and perhaps adding voters, ⁓ adding votes themselves. But ⁓ when the sheriff saw that these GIs were serious and they were, you know, they were going to protect the ballot box, they stole the ballot box and took them to the jailhouse and barricaded themselves inside the jailhouse. The corrupt sheriffs. Okay. Quoting the story again. Instead of letting the corrupt government win, the hardcore veterans seized, listen to this, seized the local National Guard armory, taking a two-ton truck, arms and ammunition with them to the local jail. An hours-long gunfight took place, but failed to oust the sheriff and his men. So they they battled it out in a gun battle for hours, but the sheriff and his men did not leave the sheriff's department. They wanted to hang on to those ballots. But these GIs were fresh from the battle and not deterred. They dynamited the jail in the wee hours of the morning, forcing the deputies to surrender themselves and the ballot boxes. Unfortunately, the sheriff and his cohort had escaped. Sheriff Mansfield eventually relinquished his office to the GI opponent and the rifle winner, and the newly elected officials set about righting the wrongs. Mansfield eventually resigned and conceded the election to the GI candidate Knox Henry. All fees in excess of five thousand dollars were returned to the townspeople, and the corruption that ran rampant in Tennessee was soon turned out at every level of government. A year later, the incident, remembered as the Battle of Athens, was just a memory. Reading this story, I started thinking how would America change if this type of story, if this were the type of story every child in America had to. Memorize. And I'll stop it right there. If this were what every kid had to memorize, if we were if we grew up with this in our heads with the same regularity as y you know, we're told, I don't know, you know, who set foot on first set foot on the moon, how would that change us? I'm a I'm asking a qu you know, because you know what the left does when they when when they don't like when they want to resist and they don't like what they see, what are they doing? They're showing up with weapons in front of government institutions and they're battling. They're creating a revolution. And I'm just wondering when we do, when do we do that? I'm I again I just want to be clear, I am not advocating for violence. I'm just wondering when Americans decide. Some of us have already decided, but the but they are but we, those Americans, are taking up arms against their fellow Americans, against freely and and fairly elected politicians. I'm saying here in California, just like in that town in Tennessee, if you know the system's corrupt. You know they're lying and working against you. You know that they are taking advantage of a people who are unprotected, just like those people, their men had gone off to war. Our men have been taken from us. Our men have been taken from us by crime. Many have fallen to crime, or many have become the victims of crime. Or our men have been taken from us by the cult of gender ideology, and they've been turned into women or weak. Leaders. And where men are so weak that they can't lead, you know what that does? It causes women to step up. And then that's how you get or overly feminized government, which is what we have. Our men are gone in California. And we're waiting for them to come back. We're waiting for them. You know, just like in that story, I said, the GIs, you know, they that's what the people said, the GIs aren't gonna like it when they get home. You know, we're waiting for our men to come home and say, We don't like this, we're gonna do something. At what point at what point do you surround the government in Los Angeles? The way that those protesters surrounded ice and threw things at them and bottles at them? I'm asking and when do conservatives do that? When do Republicans do that? When do Americans do that? Real Americans. I am asking, what is what are the options here? I'm so dead serious. What are the options here? If it is this corrupt, let's go through our options. I'll go with I'll go with number one, which is what so many of you out there say, and I think this is despicable as a fair fellow American to say this. And I wish she would stop. But ⁓ just leave. There's nothing there's nothing you can do. Just leave, just leave them through their own devices. Okay, that's one option. The results of that option are California's problems just get bigger and bigger and bigger, and then it becomes so successful here. They spread it to Arizona, Washington, Oregon. I mean, it's already happening. Hello, New Mexico, Idaho, Ohio, Florida, Texas. It comes to all of those ⁓ other areas ⁓ that you think are red states. It comes to you because it was such a successful model here. They're already trying to do that. They're already trying to give you jungle primaries, trying to give you a top two primary. That's how it starts. I just think that's stupid to say that. Just leave. Okay, leave and don't fight. Again, some people have to leave. It's not my place to judge people for when and where they go. But I'm just saying, if you're saying that's the only solution, then it's coming to you. At some point, it will come to you. There has to be a stop gap here or it will come to you. So I don't find that to be a viable option. I think that's a cowardly piece of advice to give people and stop. It's very un American. Second of all, okay, what's the second option? Okay, vote. Get Republicans excited, get out and vote. We do have the numbers here in California to win elections, but Republican vote is so depressed. Okay. Well, we're doing that. We did that. I've never seen Republicans work harder. We we we We had Prop 50, we fought that battle. We knew we were gonna lose, but we fought it anyway. It galvanized a lot of Republicans, though. We fought really hard and we did mobilize in these elections, both in Los Angeles and across the state, and we're still seeing cheating. Spencer Pratt is probably gonna lose. Steve Hilton is probably gonna come razor thin. They're gonna make they're gonna make ⁓ work for it until the last day of month long counting. So we try to vote, we try to use the system. That's an option. We're using, we've been using that option over and over again. It's not working. What's the third option? We sue, we take legal option. Okay, we have seen members of our own community sue over election fraud. I mean, on every level, there's tons of stuff going on. Harmie Dillon is prosecuting some cases. Phyllisale has already covered some voter fraud. There are people who are facing trial right now for voter fraud on smaller levels. The federal government has asked for the voter rolls from state of from the state of California. They want to audit the voter rolls. The Supreme Court agrees with them on most of these issues and there's another big case in front of the Supreme Court that could affect mail and balloting. Okay. Well, we've done that. You know, you ⁓ there's a DOJ, like they're say they're doing all of this stuff, but the state of California is going, No, we're not gonna give you our voter rolls. If they say no, what is our recourse? And they've said no. Hey Flape, what's up? Welcome. I was just doing a little informal just breakdown because I'm not back to doing formal shows this week, but I, you know, gotta talk about this. But, you know, what do we do? We have we have taken all of these avenues, just like the people Of Athens in Tennessee did, where they said, okay, we we've done it the right way. We've complied with the law. We've tried to use the law to change the law. We've used the electoral system. We did the right thing. We started our own party. We went out there and campaigned and we still got taken advantage of. What is next? I'm saying, like, if the left gets to go and blow things up and burn things down. When they feel government isn't working for them, even though government is working and doing their constitutional duties, then when do we get to do the same? When do we do the same? This is why I think COVID was so dangerous. It was a stress test. It it it tested us to see how far we could be pushed. Like I cannot believe that any American, especially any conservative American, is suggesting that perhaps what we do is leave California to her own devices and just go find a red state. Like I can't believe anyone is suggesting that. Do you not think that this is very dangerous for America? Period. I'm asking what comes next? I don't know. I don't know. I it I I mean I I can say armed rebellion, but like do the people of Los Angeles have the willpower to rebel? No, I don't I don't think so. But I don't know because honestly, if you look at what rebellions are and where they start, it's always a small group of people. It's not the majority that starts the rebellion. There's evidence to suggest that at the time that the American Revolution officially popped off. Only something like thirty percent or thirty-two of the population was ⁓ on board with it. Most of the population didn't want anything to do with it and some were just purely on the side of the crown. But a lot of the population really, they weren't passionate. They weren't they weren't willing to pick up pitchforks and hunting rifles and go fight and die on the battlefield for America. They weren't. That's how most revolutions go. It's a small majority, it's a small majority, a small portion of the people who carry the most courage. So out you know, it doesn't have to be. Everyone in LA. It doesn't have to be everyone in LA or in California. And I'm not suggesting it should be. Again, I just want to reiterate I am not advocating for armed revolution. I'm just wondering at what point Americans do engage in it. And I want to remind people that it's happened before and not just in our revolution. So I think it is an option for Americans. Armed revolution against their local government. It's an option. Again, I just what what do you do? If if nothing you can do, if you operate within the bounds of the law and the law still changes and the law's so malleable they can just change it, what do you do? I don't know, you guys. I am more and more of the mind that the typical avenues of relief for California are narrowing. And again, I want to make my case for just telling people to leave and leave California to our own devices is not acceptable. If you wanna leave, that's acceptable because it's crazy here. And if you have school children, honestly, you should you ⁓ if you can't educate them yourselves, you should not put your children in California public school. You should absolutely not do it. You should leave. Yeah, you should definitely leave. Like if you have small children. So that's not I don't mean to I again I just want to be clear. I'm not judging you. I'm not judging anyone for leaving. What I am saying is it is not an acceptable solution or suggestion to tell people, well, just leave. Just leave them to their own devices again, because what happens here happens in America. We're an American state. If it happens to us, it's gonna happen to you. If it's successful here, then they're gonna just export the formula. And do it where you California used to be a red state, my friends. If you think we're gonna pack up and move to a red state, leave California to and leave the Gavanusons of the world to say, look, we did it. We locked up an entire state. And we can now come to your state and replicate that there, red, red state, Florida. Here's how we did it. Here's our 25 year plan. I'm telling you, that is unacceptable. If you don't stop it here, it's coming to you. Don't tell us to leave. We just can't. Because we're leaving you vulnerable if we leave. We have to fix this. And I am of the mind that the that the normal channels are no longer going to work. I don't know what has to happen. I don't know what has to happen. Again, I don't want guys, look at me. Again, I just I want to be careful to say this. Look at me. I'm an Orange County housewife. Do I look like I want to go to war? No. Do I look like I'm about to pick up a weapon and go, you know, fight my local government at the jail? For the ballot boxes? No. No. I'm not saying I hope this happens. What I'm saying is, what are the options if we get to the point we're at now where there really is simply no way to trust these elections, to verify these elections, or to win these elections? At what point do the American people say? Other options are on the table. Like flipping tables is an option too. Cause I'll tell you what, I think that's where we were in twenty-four. If Trump had not won in twenty-four, I had said I had said over and over again, and I still think this might be the case if we don't win midterms. I have said we're that that's civil war. We're because the plans that Democrats have for America, we've already seen the the the The genesis of those plans. Look at what they tried to do with J Six and how they tried to make us all into J Six, you know, revolters and ⁓ wanna ill, you know, they basically want to criminalize ideas. They want to criminalize ideas from the right. They want to criminalize right wing Americans. That's what they tried to do. They have already said they plan to complete the process when they get back into par power. They are broadcasting their intentions to us. And I just think after coming through COVID, after coming through the twenty twenty-four election, and after coming through Charlie Kirk, I just think there are far too many, not they're not the majority of Americans, but it again, I have proven to you that it doesn't matter. It just needs to be a minority, a passionate minority. There are far too many Americans who are willing to sit back and just let the the system turn into like a normal corrupt system and then that's just how it is. I I don't I don't think I don't think enough people are there. I think it's it's violent revolution if that happens. I do. And I I thought in 2024 that's where we were if Trump didn't win, we would have known that it was cheating and then that would have been violence in some respect or another. And I still think that that might happen after midterms because if Democrats get back in charge It's just gonna be impeachment after impeachment. It's gonna be trouble. If you're sitting here thinking I'm ready to give up and I don't like, you know, I don't like Trump's warning run or like whatever, you're nitpicking at the things that Trump didn't solve my pet cause, which is the only reason I voted for him, or I am nervous about the length of the Iranian war. I don't want to dismiss that. I don't want to make it sound like I think you're dumb for that. I don't. I feel the same way. I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is, even though I feel the same way, I understand that I don't understand. a lot of stuff and it's still early too early to be worrying about an endless war. But I need everyone needs to take the thirty thousand foot view here. I'm not saying compromise, I'm saying use good sense and like how long does it take to fix something that's been bro broken for so long? How long does it take? To clean out an infested wound. It takes it takes careful deliberation, right? It takes somebody who knows how to clean a wound, who's willing to work slowly and do the task thoroughly, and who's willing to look into an open, disgusting, gaping wound and sew it up. That takes a special kind of person too. It's gonna take all these types of people. And yes, it's frustrating. We're Again, I'm not surprised at anything that's going on here in California. I was hopeful that it was big enough that we would squeak past here. At the moment, what's happening is exactly what I and everyone else thought it would happen. So again, we don't need your insults like, what did you think was gonna happen? This. We thought this was gonna happen. And we weren't even saying that November could be one. What we were saying is it's possible to get past the June primaries. And then we'll move to November. But nobody no, I just you can't have a like a common sense look at what's been going on and then say to yourself, Well, it's just how it is. It's not that crazy like Kristen Welker telling Trump, well, that's just how they do it in California. Yeah, it is. That's just how we do it in California. That doesn't make it right. It doesn't make it good. Like it's not good that that's just how we do it here. It's not good that that's just normal. Yes, it's normal. That's not good. That's not good. Have you ever worked in a dysfunctional workplace? And someone out from the outside has come in and be like, holy cow. How do you guys work like this? And you've gone, well, that's just how it is. It's just normal here. Does that make it right? Does your friend go away saying, well, you know what? That works for them. No, your friend goes away going, that company is crazy. And when I asked about it, they said, Well, that's just normal here. Normal does not equal rights. But somehow idiot progressives have been convinced, and probably because they haven't had any real education, they've been convinced that normal equals right. What do we do from here? Listen, I'm not intelligent enough to tell you what we can do from here. You need to be pressing your representatives to pass the SAVE Act. You need to be doing that. You need to be talking about the fraud. You need to be sharing the stories about the fraud with people because you heard Kristen Walker. Sh she yeah, she does know. Trump was absolutely right to storm out of there. She absolutely does know there's fraud. She knows there is because these are reporters. They have looked at the stories. They have looked at the facts. The reason why they say there's no evidence is because they've seen the evidence and they have chosen not to promote the evidence. And they know that their listeners will believe what they say and will not look further. Trump was right. Trump was right about that. So Kristen Walker can stare our president in the eye and lie to him and and say, ⁓ well there's no evidence of of voter fraud Because on the left, that that is they have just been totally given over to the ⁓ pursuit of power and not the pursuit of happiness. That was good. I'm gonna say that again. The progressive left in America the progressive left in America has completely given themselves over to the pursuit of power, and they have completely abandoned the pursuit of happiness. These people do not deserve to lead. We've been trying every legal recourse to give our voters an option for change. It feels like a woman cry talking about sexual assault. You know, and every woman has had this experience. Almost every woman, where you have been harassed, maybe not, you know, anything horrible, but you've definitely been harassed or made to feel uncomfortable. I can remember when I was a young intern and my boss was very you know, I'm twenty one years old and I don't know, I don't have parents. No, I don't have parents. I I mean I had parents, people who made me, but I didn't have parents who like cared about me or were supporting me or anything. I literally was 21 on my own, just figuring out day to day how to pay bills, how to get to the next step, how to keep a roop roof over my head, living in a strange country, living in a strange state. And I was an intern and living in a different country from Canada. Not a strange country. A different country. Canada's a strange country. Living in the country, living in a strange state, and literally being on my own with no support. And my boss, you know, telling me things like, Look, I can keep you employed if you come to my house this weekend or if you come spend I remember when he wanted me to spend Thanksgiving with him, you know, and what do I do? This man pay signs my checks, pays my bills. And I know what a lot of you are saying. Well, go tell somebody. Well, who do you tell if that's your boss? You go tell the other boss. So I went and told the other boss, who was a woman. And I said, Look, I'm very uncomfortable and I don't know what to do. And it's getting to the point where I feel threatened, you know, like I think, you know, I'm trying to just be polite and laugh things off and you know, I did all that stuff. ⁓ no, you know, ⁓ I have a boyfriend or you know, one time I was propositioned, Hey, there's an apartment over the theater across the street and I I own it and I'll let you stay there. You just have to agree to let me come by, you know, a couple of times a week. I wanna get away from my partner. And let me come by and you know, we can be friends. And you can stay there for free and I'll even lease a car from you. That's an offer I got as twenty one years old, an intern. So I went to the other women who were in charge and I said, Yeah, and you know what their response was? I don't believe you. Well, he's just a little flirty. Maybe you're a little flirty too. You know, you are very nice to him. You know, why don't you tell him to just F off? Yeah, as if you could tell as if a twenty or one year old could tell her fifty year old boss that. Yeah, he's fifty. You know? So we're not we're not believed. And that's what it feels like. You can say, Well, you know, why don't you go why don't you say something? Why don't you do something? We're not believed. And even people on our own side will say, Well, maybe you're blowing it out of proportion. He was just flirting with you. Why don't you say well when you don't when you depend on this person, anyways, doesn't matter. That's what's happening here in California. We tell people this has been going on. We're trying to tell people, we're trying to alert people. And for all these years, people just, you know, we're we're not believed. You go to our government representatives, we're not believed. We tell people in the rest of the country this is how crazy it is, and we're not believed. What do you do? What are your options? I'm genuinely, genuinely asking. And no one has given me an answer except leave. What are our options? Harmie Dillon, Billisale, Steve Hilton, anybody, anybody, President Trump, Steven Miller? Anybody tell me, somebody tell me, what are our options if we cannot even use the law, which is ostensibly here to protect us, to protect us. What are our options? I'm genuinely asking. I have come up with no answers. I don't see anyone else providing answers except Lee. And I've already made the case for why you shouldn't want us to leave and why we can't leave anyway. But I question any American, I question your your your patriotism if your answer to a tough battle is leave. Leave the battlefield. Again, especially after coming through twenty twenty four. You know, thank God our president didn't leave the battlefield, didn't give up, sitting in court twelve hours a day, all these ridiculous lawsuits. They tried to destroy his family, they tried to take everything he owned. They tried to they dug through his wife's underwear drawer. Thank God he didn't say, you know what? It's not worth the fight. Patriotism, my friends. Patriots wanted. Tell me what you think. Write to me. Drop it in the comments. Drop a comment on my article. Like really, tell me what you think. Tell me what our options are. And I would like you to leave moving off the table. And not because not just because I don't want to hear it anymore, which I don't want to hear it anymore, but not because I don't want to hear it anymore, but just because that's that's the basic bitch option. And so I would like you to get creative, get more creative for me, okay? That's the basic bitch off option. We get it. Let's pretend we're a brainstorming team, you know, we're we got a big whiteboard and we're brainstorming ideas and there's no bad ideas. We're just doing yes and. Yes and let's pretend that. Okay. Do that. Give me options. Drop ⁓ in the comments. Flav, always good to see you. Thanks for tuning in, ⁓ my friend. And everybody else. Look, we whenever you see me go on line live, tune in. And if you don't catch me live, watch the replay. Follow the Orange Report everywhere. We talk California and Orange County news because California news is America news and I live in Orange County. But shoot, it's all the same, isn't it, these days. We are under durass, replied. When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth and the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's god entitle them a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to separate. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, my friends. So get out there and shine.
