Ep.54 Los Angeles is falling apart...literally · The Orange Report with Kira Davis

• Kira Davis: Welcome back to the show. It's Monday. It is August 10th, and the summer is almost over. A lot of people are going back to school today. I know we're getting ready to send my daughter back to school ⁓ across the country. And a lot of people are getting ready for school here. And here in Orange County, as you guys know, I'm in LaDera Ranch and Even as our kids are getting ready to go back to school, we are still preparing or we're still concerned about ⁓ this cancer cluster and we're still preparing for our meeting on September 15th. But this is really what I was talking about. I I've been talking about we had John Gresko, excuse me, let me adjust this mic here. So I'm comfortable. We had John Gresko, ⁓ on the show. You guys remember him. He is the vice chair of the LaDera Ranch Civic Council. And he was talking about how, you know, all of this stuff should be easily solvable. It shouldn't be that big of a deal. and here we are. We're going back to school. We still don't know should our kids be playing on the playgrounds? Now the CUSD, which is our school district, they have they have performed a, I think a 90-day pause on certain pesticides and herbicides. They're saying they're just gonna go to manual. I don't know why we don't use manual pesticide or manual herbicide control. You know what I mean? In residential areas, I can understand if you're a farmer and I want to make clear that this is a separate issue from what farmers do. We don't, you know, we're not trying to tell the the farming community what to do. We just we don't think you should use a lot of that powerful stuff that you use in industrial farming here on our own fields and in residential areas. So it's not, it doesn't have anything to do with the farming community. I just want to make that clear. But it does, it causes me a little bit of concern. And I'm glad I don't have kids going back to public school this week. ⁓ because we still don't really know what's in the ground. So COSD has said that they're going to pause this. Again, this is all stuff you can do with maintenance. We have a really big maintenance crew in Ladera Ranch. And a lot of people don't always understand what they do. A lot of times you can see most of them just standing around on a Monday or Tuesday afternoon. Monday is when they come through my area of the neighborhood. And, you know, there might be two or three guys working. A lot of them are mostly standing around. They're almost all Mexicans. So, ⁓ like at lunchtime, they flood the gas stations and flood the convenience stores and they buy their lotto tickets and their beer, and then they go back and sit in the shade somewhere. It's like a lot of people wonder what our landscape. crew does. They often take out they take out landscape and you put it back in. It's almost like it's just busy work. So we'll have perfectly fine plants, but then at the end of the year the maintenance crew will just take them all out. It's like we need to give ⁓ something to do. And I just think if we need to give them something to do, how about we just make them manually remove the weeds and deal with the pests? ⁓ I don't know. Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe that's crazy. Follow me everywhere, you guys. Follow me on X. We we broadcast live to X three days a week, right here. We love X. We love broadcasting live on X. ⁓ you can follow me here at Kira Davis on X or follow us at the Orange Report. That's Orange Report O C on X, or anywhere on YouTube, Facebook. You guys know how to find me. I've just not really that hard to find people these days, unfortunately. I went for a walk without my phone today, you guys. I d I I went for a walk without my phone. And I told my husband I was leaving the house. He's working from home today. And I saw him going for a walk. ⁓ and I'm not taking my phone in his eyes immediately, like And so I told him the path that I was gonna take. Look, I wasn't going anywhere. I wasn't even walking on a trail. I was really was just walking in the streets. And like I said, I live in this idyllic suburb. So I'm fine. It was that minimal risk, but I do I do find it weird that we're in this phase now where ⁓ like the idea of going somewhere without your phone is just completely antithetical. It be it ⁓ people feel like you're vulnerable without your phone and they forget that we lived our entire lives without these things in our pockets and went places just fine. So I believe it's still the same and I don't ⁓ there's plot cameras, there's street cameras, there's ring cameras, like we're just monitored everywhere. I don't feel like I need to carry my own monitoring device every time. And sometimes it's a good, it's a it's good to have a reason to just enjoy your own thoughts. And I mean I pray while I'm while I'm walking. If I don't have my phone, I pray. And that's another thing too. Like go pray because you know what your phone's always listening to you. When you're praying around your phone, you're not praying in private. That's going into the ether and it's getting processed as information and God only knows what happens to it after that. Some of it comes back as advertising. Some of it might be used for more nefarious purposes. But even when you're praying, if you have your phone by you, it's listening to you. So if I want to pray while I'm walking, I don't want my phone or I don't want my phone hearing. I just want it to be between me and God and the flock cameras. ⁓ all right. Anyways. It's bad news to start off the show today. ⁓ Jackie the big bear bald eagle has passed. it's really sad. Jackie is a is a beloved California fixture. If you're from California, at some point you've probably watched the Eagle Cam. They have Eagle Cams watching this particular Eagle's nest in Big Bear. And it's become a bit of a drama. You know, Jackie was sick for a while, and so ⁓ the ecologists or the the National Park Observer, I don't know, the science people, the animal science people came and and and got her out to to ⁓ treat her. And then Jackie's partner eagle, the male eagle, was left to take care of the kids. And then some other chick moved in. Literal chick. Some other bald eagle chick moved in. And ⁓ so we were all sort of wondering, you know, was he gonna ⁓ you know, put up with that. So Unfortunately, Jackie has passed after a long illness. And it's it's deeply sad. You know, you get a lot of people watch, especially when it starts to snow. It's so fascinating to watch that cam. And you feel like there are so you feel like there are pets. So this is like a sad day for California. And honest my condolences go out to Jackie's family, really. And ⁓ but thanks for all the memories. And you know what? It's it's ⁓ it's unfortunate, but I just want to say. Thank you, Jackie, for everything. And I hope your chicks will go on. And I hope the new lady that moved in treats them well. Right. Because we know we have step parent issues. We talk about that a lot on and off. I also want to direct you guys to my substack, just kiradavis.com. If you go over there today, you're going to see a story that I posted. I cross posted it to my Christmas Land podcast, which you should also be subscribed to. We do Christmas all year round. Yeah, we review cheesy Christmas movies. You those Hallmark movies you make fun of? We live we make fun of them too, but with love because we genuinely love them. So we have a podcast we have a show. It's not really a podcast, it's a show. It's called ⁓ Journey to Christmas L. Amelia and I do that do that and we review cheesy Christmas movies. And it's so fun. We do it all year. And ⁓ we ⁓ today I posted a story over there and I shared it on my sub stack about Dine en Blanc in Los Angeles. I I mentioned it a couple of times last week, but it's a giant white party and you You have to lug in all your stuff. Gotta lug in your table decor, your meal, everything. ⁓ this year we rented tables and chairs. Usually you have to bring those, and that's a whole other ⁓ thing. But ⁓ we rented them this year, and then you go to a secret location, a top secret location in Los Angeles, and it's just for you and a thousand other people. And you set up your dinner, and then there's entertainment, and it's just a great night. So I wrote a full. Review of that. I hope you'll go check that out. It was magical. And I hope they'll join us next year. Wouldn't it be fun if we had like a, you know, a show table, like a Kira Davis table or something? I usually crib off my friend's table, who's one of the table leaders. But, you know, if enough of us want to go, we can maybe organize our own table. it's a great experience. And this year, we ended up in front of Beverly Hills City Hall. They block off the whole street for us. So it's not weird. There's no homeless people. There's not a lot of homeless people wandering around Beverly Hills anyway. There's a few. But ⁓ yeah, they block it off. And we just had a great time. And before I get started, because today's episode is about Los Angeles. So before I get started, I want to tell you about a young man that I ran into at the end of Dine and Blanc. And you we're about, I don't know, it was about like a 10 minute walk, 15 minute walk to where we were parked. And when we were leaving, we were a couple blocks away and there's a young man on a bike, maybe in his twenties or thirties. I'm 52. So, you know, a lot of people are young to me these days. Clearly getting off work, just getting off work out of some kitchen somewhere in Los Angeles. And he's sitting there just watching these waves of people in white, you know, exiting the party up the street and lugging their stuff out. And I said, ⁓ our Are you wondering what was going on? He said, No, I asked. I stopped up there to ask somebody what was going on. And it seems really cool. And I said, Well, I hope you'll join us next year. And he said, ⁓ I'm already making plans. And he was so ⁓ wide-eyed and excited. And I wrote this in my in my review today. One of the things I said was the look on his face felt so old LA to me, not old person. But it felt like old LA, OG LA. It was hope and awe and potential. You know, like that was the smile of a man who felt like Los Angeles is a place where dreams come true and people do dreamy things. And it it it's this magical place, like the kind that you and I remember from when we were kids. That was the smile that was on his face, the look that he had. And it It felt so good to be a part of that and it felt good to experience that old type of LA once again. And then it made me sad because that's not the Los Angeles that exists today. Now I don't live in Los Angeles. I live in Orange County, but I do a lot of business, a lot of socializing Los Angeles. In the southern part of California, it's all one anyways. You know, what we do affect affects each other. We call it the Southland because it's basically all one area. ⁓ But I'm not from LA, but still the LA I remember is was so much more hopeful than we've seen. And so it was really good to see the look of hope on a man's face. Like that's what it was supposed to be. Like, ⁓ I can make my dreams come true in this town. That's what Los Angeles used to be. And it is so different now. It's literally falling apart. It's literally falling apart. And ⁓ It's sad. It is sad to see. But Spencer Pratt warned us about this. No, when Spencer Pratt lost the ⁓ primaries a couple months ago, he gave a bit of a dark warning. He said, You're gonna see, you're gonna see w what what happens to LA after this, and it's not good. The worst is coming. That's what he said. And he made it sound like he actually knew something and he he has actually alluded. To documents that he has, conversations that he's reported. He alluded to some type of evidence that it's a lot more than just the typical degradation of an American city. He hasn't come forward with all of that yet. I don't know if maybe the DOJ stepped in and said, hey, don't blow the wad yet or what? I have no idea. But I think about what Spencer said a lot. And when you look around Los Angeles right now, it feels like he was very prophetic. ⁓ there's just been a lot. Let's go down some of the stuff that's going on in Los Angeles. ⁓ well, here's the big story. Number one, Scott. ⁓ AutoZone, an auto zone in East LA has been looted as a part of one of those street takeovers. Isn't that a quaint little name for these things? For criminal roving bands of criminal, these these street takeovers. And ⁓ yeah, there we go. So the aut an auto zone in Lo east Los Angeles was ransacked for the second time in twenty four hours. Let me tell you what happened. There was a street a street takeover event around that auto zone and those upstanding citizens, future doctors and lawyers, ⁓ broke into the auto zone and immediately started looting it. They called the police, police got there pretty quickly, I heard. Arrested four people, but obviously there's a lot more than four people going in and out of there. They smashed things. They didn't just take things, they smashed things, they destroyed things. And then the manager and the employees swept up, cleaned up, boarded up, and restocked all the shelves. And those people came back the next day. This is this is round two, right here. They came back the next day and looted it again. So w so far no words. On any arrests. Looters ransacking an auto zone store in East LA. This is one of two auto zones hit by burglars overnight. This one is at Olympic Boulevard and Atlantic After. Windows and doors were already boarded up from another break in the night before. That how also happened during a street takeover. ⁓ The manager says the store will be closed at least two to three days while wiring and electrical systems will have to be repaired. Employees won't be paid while the store is closed. So work so far no word on any arrests. We're announcing new video tonight of looters. Employees don't get paid during the close store closing. The franchise doesn't get paid. Whoever owns that franchise, I don't know if AutoZone does franchise or but that the store doesn't get paid. And then the store is out all of the repair, yada yada yada, you get it. We are watching the disintegration of American cities right before our our very eyes. And there are a lot of people to blame. I'm of course gonna blame Democrats. I'm gonna blame the left. This is a one party state. Los Angeles is a one party city. And people are getting what they ostensibly voted for. I don't believe people are voting for this anymore. Do you think people are voting for this? This is why I when I had Roxanne Hogue, the the ⁓ chairwoman and my friend. of the Los Angeles ⁓ Republican Party, because she was very adamant. Look, we don't have the turnout. Republicans, we do have the numbers to win elections, but y'all aren't turning out. And she was right about that. She spouted off the numbers and she was absolutely right. And of course we don't have the turnout. But what can the Republican Party offer us for the turnout? Because it's it just seems like we if we turn out, we get a Spencer Pratt situation. We get a prop. 36 situation or a prop 47 situation. We get that prop six with the gas tax situation, you know, where we vote for the things that we're told to vote for, and then we're overwhelmed by the illegalities in the system. And so people are discouraged. I I do blame Republican voters, but I don't blame Republican voters. You know what I mean? I always vote, but there I understand when people say I don't see the point. And when you look around, you don't really see the state party fighting for you. And it's not that there aren't people in the state party, like at the top level up in Sacramento, who understand this is an issue and and don't like it. That's not it. But the culture of the party is not of a fighting party right now. It's not. So people don't feel like they're gonna have the backup, the support when they go out there to the ballot box. It feels hopeless. The that's that scene that you just saw, that's hopelessness. That's hopelessness where they know they can come back the next day. Now recall what happened in Newport Beach last month during the Fourth of July. And I wrote a viral article about that. And I said, look, that's war. That is not just some street takeover. That's not a bunch of rabble rousing teams, that teens, that's war. Cause the you know, if you look, Newport's an orderly area, orange it's Orange County, we don't do that stuff here. Newport's an orderly area. The police came out, they did their darndest, they arrested who they could, and they made sure that they were gonna be monitoring situations in the future like that. So far, nothing like that has happened again. And the police warned, don't bring that here. But here's my point. Again, and no shade on the police. They did their job. They they did great. But the police aren't a military force. It's just law enforcement. It's local law enforcement. Yes, they can repel a hundred criminals who break into your local ⁓ grocery store. What can they do with a thousand? Do you know what I mean? And these things are happening all over the place. We need to really get serious about it. Those people in the auto zone, they there was nothing they could do. They had to just stand there and let those people take their property. And then it happened again. We don't have to live like this. We really don't. And we didn't used to live like this. And I used to think that this is just a natural degradation of a one party state, but I no longer believe this. I think this is all on purpose and it's all connected. All of the degradation, all of the crime, the two tier justice system, you know, where somebody gets a fine or even jail time for defending their business or even putting planters in front of their business. Yes, you can get fined for that in Los Angeles. If you want to keep the homeless people out from in front of your business, you can't just put like a nice planter or something. It's obstructing the homeless. They don't get arrested or fined or anything for obstructing the sidewalks with their tents and their pee and their poop and their needles. But you will as a business owner. So it's a two-tiered justice system. It's all designed to degrade and to discourage. It's all it all of it is. The city is literally falling apart. When people can just walk into stores and take out whatever they want. And let's get controversial here. Okay? If you're not gonna say it, if you don't feel like you can say it, then I'll say it for you. That wasn't a group of white kids, white suburban kids, right? Rushing into those stores, taking all that's not we have a problem with our minority communities here in America. I hate to say that as a minority. I'm embarrassed to say that as a minority, but I've spent the majority of my career advocating for black America. And I know a lot of you lefties are like, ⁓ you're just a sellout. You're just tap dancing for the white man. No, you're not. No, yes, I am. I'm a conservative because I'm black. That's why I'm a conservative. It's what made me a conservative, serving my community and realizing the damage that the left had done to us. And I s have spent the majority of my career. advocating for for the betterment of our community, not only for us making better choices for ourselves, but for our government being accountable for the choices they make for us or offer us. You know? But at this point, I don't I don't know what's left to defend. There's a real problem here. That's a mix of kids. That's kids, that's kids, black kids, kids from the hood, black American kids, but it's also sort of the those anchor baby kids, the anchor baby class. Some of them don't even have parents because their parents didn't even get here with them. They belong to gangs. And they're just allowed to take over our streets. Again, I am not worried when I'm walking through Newport Beach or my own community in Southern California, San Clemene or San Juan Cabistrano. I am not worrying about a ⁓ a group of Minority gangbangers or lack of a better term to bum rush a store and take over. Now, maybe I should be because it did happen in Newport and that was a test, by the way. That's what I keep telling people. That was a balloon. They floated it. Because the point is to make you miserable in your safe communities. The point is to make you scared. The point is to make you think twice. The point is to make you feel vulnerable. Flav, welcome. Hey Flav, good to see you. If you're on YouTube, you can chat in there and I'll I'll see it. ⁓ and I think on Facebook too. ⁓ but that is the point. That is the point. And I and I just I think we have to talk about what we're looking at when we see that. And every time I if I say something that like that, somebody goes, ⁓ well, here's a video, a rare video of a group of white kids causing problems or let's go to Appalachia, where we're like we're always like l using Appalachia as the greatest example of why white people are part of the problem. They're just, they're just as bad. No, they're not. No, they're not. And if they were, believe me, I would tell you the truth. But we're to the point now where if you are a law abiding citizen in the state of California and you see a large group of minority youth coming towards you, you're gonna be scared. You're gonna be nervous. And that's nobody's fault but our own. That's nobody's fault but our own. I know a lot of you like, where are the parents? Where are ⁓ again, some of these are the anchor babies, they don't have parents. They're The gangs that they belong to are their parents. A lot of this is the other thing we're not allowed to talk about. A lot of these are gangbangers. These are coordinated gang efforts. And so that and then a lot of the American kids, they have parents who basically were raised themselves and they don't know how to raise people and they don't care. As long as they're not home with them, they don't care. We when I tell you all of this is connected, this is a parenting crisis. Right? We have we have effectively taken the teeth out of parenting in the state of California. We have we have blocked and oppressed parental rights at every corner. We have said that the state is the best parent and the state and state policies support that. We have removed the ability to discipline kids. You can't spank your kids in public here in California. I'm sure people do it somewhere. But I was just talking to my daughter the other night about whoopins. And she was saying, ⁓ she's eighteen, she'll be nineteen this week. And she was saying, ⁓ yeah, I was telling my friends the other day that when I was a kid I used to get whooped and they were like, they couldn't believe it. They were like, Your mom spanked you. ⁓ my gosh. When I got here, I was talking to a teacher friend of mine about my daughter. She did something, she was five. She ran off when she wasn't supposed to, and it was in public and I grabbed her and I just gave her a SWAT. You know, we moved here from the hood. So that would have been celebrated. Where we came from. And instead, people were shocked. And I was telling my friend that, like, ⁓ I can't believe people were shocked, but my daughter just about killed herself running off. What was I supposed to do? And she said, Well, listen, you just be careful because that's actually a reportable offense here in California. You can get reported to CP CPS for whooping your kid or spanking your kid. She don't know what what means spanking spanking your kids. And then so then we that's when we had to move behind closed doors. We didn't stop. We just moved it behind closed doors. So we can't discipline kids anymore. Teachers in schools can't discipline kids. Right? The teachers unions have negotiated all of that away for teachers. We pass kids no matter what. So there's no standards in school. We're passing kids out of school that can't read. There's no accountability. We have shortened jail times. You Don't rarely even get jailed. There's a case of a of a young man here who murdered somebody. A young black man murdered somebody. And he's gonna be out in three years because he did it when he was 17. We're all of this is connected. So now you have released a population of young military age men and some women on the on the general population, no parenting, no ability to be disciplined. No jail time, no consequences, and thank you, defund police, not enough police presence on the street to repel them. Meanwhile, borders are wide open. It's ⁓ it's all on purpose. It's they're armies. Do you get it? These are army that's an army. That's an army. So we have two choices. We either become a militarized nation, which some cities are trying to do. I think that's the other impetus here, is surveillance, right? Because the the s more scared we are, the more surveillance we're gonna agree to. Those flock cams, security cams, we're gonna be like, well, this is how we have to do it to keep ourselves safe. So that's one option. The other option is returning ourselves to a high trust society. And that means cr that means punishing crime and deporting people who don't belong here. And along with punishing crime, we're probably gonna have to punish some parents, along with that. Because I I don't know how you do that. I know we've been talking a lot about this within the law. But it seems like some of these parents are creating their own weapons of mass destruction in their children. These are armies that have been created. If every street takeover group decided in Southern California, let's just do Southern California, if at the same time every group that we've seen at these different places, if they all, and maybe some of them are overlapping, but not all of them, certainly, if they all decided to To ⁓ congregate at the same time. And if they all decided to just bum rush all of our homes and businesses at the same time, what would we do? How would you repel that? I am so serious. First of all, Californians, you should be armed. Every American should be armed. I think every every good American should be armed. You should you should be trained. To use your firearms and you don't need a whole lot. Basic training, just keep it away from people, keep it somewhere where it's hidden, where no one really knows where it is. Learn how to shoot. You learn what the tool does. Obviously, I don't feel like I should have to qualify it, but some of you are so brain dead out there. You require it. but you should be armed because who will come to protect your family when these people decide to break through the great? the gates of your gated community. And we can't all move. We can't all move. I saw my friend Rob Carson, he's got a radio show on Newsmax. ⁓ he used to do Rush Limbaugh's ⁓ sketches. If you're old, if you're old had like me, you remember Rush Limbaugh used to have these great sketches and ⁓ and like intro little intro bits on his show. Well Rob Carson was the guy that recorded those. Got a great voice for radio. And ⁓ but he was showing some crazy story out of Maryland and he was like, I think basically if you're a good person in Maryland, you're gonna have to pack up and leave these people to their own devices. And I just don't think that's good advice. I I'm not telling you to stay where you are if you feel in danger and you need to get your family out of there. I'm not judging you for leaving, trust me. ⁓ you have my full support to do whatever you feel is best for your family. But what I'm saying is we should not be saying that we should not be telling people that this is a solution. Because do you see what's happening? Especially as we see the Muslims expanding, that giant Muslim Sharia facility in McKinney that's gonna open, despite the entire community saying we don't want it, the city council's still voting for it. That's only gonna spread and spread and spread and expand and expand, and everyone's gonna go, I'm moving out of here, I'm moving out of there, I'm moving out of this place. At what point do we have no place left to go? If you don't hold the line right where you are, if you don't stand there and defend your country. and your property, this infection will spread and it will kill us all. That's what it's meant to do. That's what it's meant to do. I think we do need to start talking legitimately about the race and culture of the people who are perpetrating these types of street takeovers. And then we need to address this. That's another insidious thing that we do, right? We we use these terms, teen takeovers, street takeovers. Where did those terms come from? Who invented those? Because it's a very sanitized version of what's happening. It's not, it's an attack. It's a mob. These are the way it's a riot. These are the the ways that these things should be described. The way that the mainstream news makes it sound like it's just like a group of teenagers who are out partying and having a good time and things got out of hand. No, that's not what it is. When I was a kid, when I was a teenager, I seen a couple of those, maybe even been a part of a couple of those, where, you know, group group of teenagers get together. You know, someone stole beer out of their dad's fridge. And you know, maybe a fight breaks out or someone breaks a s a street light or some a sign on the street, and you know, people get in trouble. That's old America. New America is this street takeovers, teen takeovers. And they act like, ⁓ it's just a bunch of kids. No, it's lawlessness, and it's lawlessness on purpose. They have released the lawlessness to punish the lawful. You understand? They have released the lawless to punish the lawful. And then that way they don't have to do it themselves. These are just replacement voters for them. They don't the the I'm talking about the elitist, especially here in California, the one-party state. These are just future voters for them, and they don't really care about the havoc that they wreak in our streets. What they want is for us to give up and go away, and then they can scoop up all our property. Scoop up our family plots, scoop up the the land that we saved so hard to to purchase and work so hard to maintain. They can scoop it all up and just make it into government, whatever, 15 minute cities, whatever their AI data centers, like whatever their vision is. I have no idea. They're doing it on purpose. I keep telling y'all the misery is the point. That's not just a clever Turn of phrase. The misery is the point. You are supposed to be miserable. You're supposed to give up. Because you know what is one of the hardest things to kill? The human will to live. That's straight from God. We're very powerful beings, and it is very difficult to suppress and kill the human spirit. It's very difficult. And so it's a steady march. It's a slow drip, Chinese torture. Literally and figuratively in some cases. These are not just accidental, like, ⁓ this is high crime. This is on purpose. It's happening everywhere. It's just like the immigration issue where if you go anywhere, if you go to France, if you go to Portugal, if you go to ⁓ if you go to any like westernized country, if you go to Canada, if you come here, you you're gonna see mass groups. groups, massive groups of illegal immigrants. And most of them are dangerous, most of them are violent, and most of them are made up of Muslim women and men, Muslim or otherwise, of a fighting age. We have a problem. We have a problem and we're not allowed to dress this address this properly. But we do have a problem. And you know, I we talk about this a lot, my father and a lot and I talk about this a lot, the idea of what the black family is now, what the black community is now. And I've seen a lot of black content creators online lately, and ⁓ yeah, I ⁓ some of it's due to my algorithm, but ⁓ just talking about a divorce in the black community, you know, the people who want better and the people who just seem to act like animals. And there's a difference between us somehow. It doesn't have to be like that. It wasn't always like that. And I've spent the bulk of my career, ⁓ Advocating for black Americans to have all of the great opportunities that this country provides and have a way to lift themselves out of that ghetto mentality and and do what my family and I have been able to do over the years. ⁓ but I don't know if it's worth it anymore because some of these people are just dangerous and some and the people who are excusing it are even more dangerous. And I say traitorous. The Newport Beach thing should really scare you though, because that is they're they're fanning out. That's the point. The point is to get to where you are and say, It doesn't matter. You can have your gates, you can do whatever you want. We're still coming for you. And we can move further and further and further behind gates or we can stand where we are and defend. In I'm not advocating for violence. I but I just feel that that is where we're that's where we're going. I feel like that's where we're getting to. If you're serious, there's no way to me that the people of McKinney, Texas should have to tolerate this Sharia law city right in the middle of their town. They shouldn't have to tolerate it. They should be able to repel this by all means necessary as Americans. Are we are we really are we all going to just sit back and be like, well, the law will take care of this or another election will take care of it when clearly neither is doing that. At some point, decisions are gonna have to be made. I'm worried. I'm not advocating for this, by the way. It might sound like I'm excited about it. I am not. I am not. I am worried. What I want is for our electoral system to take care of this. I do feel here in California we have one more to go. We have one more election. If we hand this state over to Javier Piserra, that is it. I don't know how anyone survives here after that. And the Republicans are fools to give this state up. Fools. This is a very important state. Imagine if it flipped red again. It would change everything. Imagine if we stop exporting our filth and our degradation to the rest of the country. It would change everything. So Republicans should not give up on the state or act like, well, those people are just getting what they deserve or getting what they vote for. I don't think so. I don't think we are. Not anymore. There was a case to be made. Whoa, there's a lot of idiot liberal sheeple there, and they just get all excited about. VEI and social justice, but I don't even think there's enough of them out there anymore to be winning the elections in ⁓ look, there's a city in Arcad it was it is it in Arcadia? ⁓ I was just on Newsmax talking about this. I should write about this. But they that city council complete so they elected that city council, right? They did it ⁓ legally. It's a city council of immigrants. It's a city council of immigrants. And when and the first thing they did was they just sold out everything. They sold out. They I think they're gonna put an AI data center in somewhere. And they, you know, there's all kinds of criminal activity going on. ⁓ and they're planning on ⁓ and then they had some kind of shady situation with the fire department. They dis they ⁓ detached. excuse me, themselves from the county fire because they wanted their own fire department, but that's going to cost them hundreds of millions of dollars that the city doesn't have. But apparently, you know, that's money. Basically, that's money for local coffers. And that's what the city council is doing. So the town held a recall and recalled four of the seven sitting city council members. And they won't leave, including the mayor who actually designated himself mayor. Again, I ask you, Why should a city, why should a population put up with that? Why should they say, ⁓ well, we voted and they won't accept the vote? So, ⁓ well, isn't this crazy? Like what? No, that's a that's a coup. That's a that that is a an invading force. I don't know where we're going from here, but if we don't turn this around really soon, it is gonna be civil war. I've been saying it for a year now. I don't feel like anyone's taking me seriously. I feel like everyone's just acting like I'm just some hyperbolic like podcaster mom. But ⁓ no one's taking me seriously, but I can see the writing on the wall. I do feel like this is prophetic. We're heading for civil war. If we don't put our foot down Right now. Where you are, where I am, we need strong men. We need strong men to stand up. You know, women are, you know, we're the mouthpieces. That's a lot w of what we do. And we guard the home front. That's where you get mama bears. But mama bears, we need men on the wall. And and there's some of y'all are out there thinking, but not enough. Not nearly enough. I'm concerned about this. I do wanna say that ⁓ I do wanna say that I think this is a multi pronged solution. The deportations must continue until morale improves. So we need to we need more ICE agents. The government needs to be hiring more and more and more and they are. I would I would encourage every young man Any young man, I mean, their bonuses are good right now. The pay structure is good right now. You can train on the job right now. I would suggest any young American male join ICE right now, at least for a few years. It's a good opportunity. And they need the help. But ICE is gonna have to continue with their deportations. We're gonna have to kick out some of these ⁓ corrupted elected officials, either through elections or other means. And we are going to have to start reestablishing normal behavior in this country. ⁓ and I hate it because it means we're gonna have to become a bunch of Karen's, but that is what it is, you know? The left has gone too far. But the last piece of this, and the most important piece of this, and I've been saying this too for over a year, since Charlie died really, is revival. We need revival. We need a Christian revival in this country. Because when the Holy Spirit moves in, And fills in every empty space. The enemy will not have room to stand, right? Islam will be conquered by Christianity. That's what will conquer Islam. Not laws, not even guns. You know, Christianity is what will conquer Islam. And so I want to encourage all of the Christians out there watching to stand up for your faith and be loud and proud about it and go out there and evangelize and tell people about the hope and the glory of Jesus Christ and the plan. of our God for their lives and introduce them to the savior. Because when we have revival in this country, we will be able to push out the last of these terrible elements. But it is, it's time to close ranks. It is. If you look at what's going on around in the rest of the world, it's time to close ranks. We're in great danger here in the United States. I want to continue on with this conversation about Los Angeles is literally falling apart. Let's pull up number one, Scott. Or I mean excuse me, number two. ⁓ July 16th. There's a water main break in Los Angeles. Okay, Los Angeles is the the water pipes in the city have not been repaired or replaced in a hundred or more years. If I'm honest with you, I don't even know how they got there, to be honest. I don't know who built them. I don't I don't yeah, I don't know how they got there. But now they're disintegrating because they're water pipes. Okay, so here's one. That's on July 16th. I think that was in Hollywood. You can see, look at all that water. Now, all we do is get lectured about using too much water in this state. Half of us are on drought restrictions. Half of us get notices when we wash our cars in our driveways. The governor, whenever he is, you know, in California, whenever that it's rare, but whenever he is running around California, he's talking about drought and water restrictions and this and that and the other. Want to change our appliances, change our dishwashers hardly wash, our our our laundry machines hardly wash, because we have these stupid ⁓ ecological, you know, water saving machines that we have to do by law here in California. And meanwhile, this in places like Los Angeles is water just running freely, just being wasted, running out into the street, destroying things, destroying places. All right, let's do the next one. Let's do number three. Let's do the water main break from August seventh. Another one. Here it is. Mandeville Canyon now it was around three fifty when the fire department got that call. When they arrived, they found this geyser going up into the air here quite a quite a distance now. I can tell you that ⁓ Brentwood is not a poor area, everyone. The fire department has just left. ⁓ it doesn't appear that the water's getting into any of the homes in the area here, but ⁓ I can tell you that Westridge Road is open, one lane only in both directions. Here ⁓ for the the time being, but for now they're trying to shut down this water line to try to make this stop, but in the meantime that water is running downhill. ⁓ hopefully it doesn't get all the way down to sunset, but it is still putting out quite a bit of water here as DW officials ⁓ try to put this out. That's the latest overhead up in Sky Five. I'll send it back to you in the studio. Let's go to number four. This is a July twenty sixth water main water main. I think this is in the same Hollywood location if I'm not ⁓ because that one broke twice. So another water main break yes, reported in Los Angeles neighborhood. There's another one. Look at all that water there. Cars driving through. This is Los Angeles. Do we have is this video or no? This just And okay, fine. Well, we're not done yet. We're not done yet. Scott, let's go to number five. Fourth water moon break. This is fourth water main break in Los Angeles City in as many weeks. Look at that. Look at that. And it hasn't rained all summer. We haven't had an area drop of rain this summer, maybe one or two. So to see water just flooding the streets of Los Angeles, it's bizarre. Something's going on. These are not this is not just This is not just the regular disrepair. This is a city in trouble. Now are is this is this happening on purpose? You okay, ⁓ they have audio. Go ahead and play that. Look at that. So is this happening on purpose? I don't know. Spencer Pratt seems to think that some of it's on purpose. I hear a lot of consp ⁓ I don't want to call it conspiracy, but I for what else, for lack of a better term, there are a lot of conspiracy theorists out there who say, Yeah, no, this is on purpose. The idea is to drive people out of to drive the good people out of Los Angeles. These buildings go into arrears and then the government snatches them up. Let's go to Number six, Scott, let's go to this lovely picture of ⁓ homeless quote health care. This is homeless health care in Los Angeles. A ⁓ DOJ attorney for the ⁓ Western Division, Billisale, says this is what's wrong with homeless spending in Los Angeles. Taxpayers pay for drug paraphernalia. ⁓ handed out by city contracted NGOs while also paying the fire department to respond to drug ODs. If you don't think that's deliberate, because guess nobody's that stupid. I know we believe Democrats are stupid, but they're actually not not all of them. Maybe the voting class is, but the ruling class is not stupid. They know exactly what they're doing. And again, I will go back to Elon Musk when he was running Doge and those first few heady weeks when we were really discovering the the depth of corruption in our ⁓ taxation system. And somebody asked him in an interview. What's one of the things you think Americans are going to be most surprised to learn? And he said they're going to be surprised to learn that they've been living in the Truman Show and nothing is real. And I didn't know what it meant, but I noted it. And it could mean something deeper than that. But at the very least, what it means is that we have been funding our own demise. We're we're giving billions and we're working our asses off in California to give billions and billions and billions of our dollars to the homeless industrial complex. And that's what they do with it. They hand out needles to help drug addicts stay drug addicts and help drug addicts get more drugs. And then the fire department has to respond. Fire department can't come to your house when it's burning down because a homeless person lit a fire in front of it. They can't get the they're too busy responding to ODs in the streets. And guess what? It demoralizes the fire department too. Because that's not what you get into firefighting for. You want to fight fires, right? You're not trying to ⁓ save the lives of homeless people who are going to be OD'd again the very next day. And some of these people that you're saving might be the very people who are raping dogs on Skid Row. Ri raping dogs is there's something truly horrific about that. E almost more so than humans, although that's horrible as well. But dogs Animals, you know, that's evil to that evil. It I think it falls in the same category as children, as babies. It falls in that same category because you have to be a certain type of evil to do that. So they don't know who they're saving. Most of these these people are probably cussing at them, calling them everything but a child of God. That's not what firefighters get into the the ⁓ profession for. Then you demoralize the firefighters and then they leave and you can't staff the fire department. It's all on purpose. And Spencer Pratt warned about this. And it makes me think that he knows a lot more than he's letting on right now. Got a comment here from Solace. Hello, thank you for being a part of the show. Sabotage perhaps could even be immigrants digging tunnels from Canada to Mexico. I think those are two very good, very good suggestions. I do. I think, yeah. You're right. And I hadn't really given a lot of thought to the tunnel building, and I know that's a big deal. And haven't we seen some mysterious people coming out of tunnels in New York City as well? We had cities under cities, y'all. You know that, right? Like every city is built on top of another city, almost. Our major cities are. Some people will tell you it's it's the bones of the cities that were burned down. But again, I ask you why is it that every major city in America has had a apocalyptic fire in the past that has burned down the whole city? Why is that? Isn't that strange? It's one thing to say, ⁓ the Chicago fire, Mary kicked over a bucket and or the cow kicked over a a lamp and it burned the entire city down. Well isn't that a crazy time in history? But then you look at our history of all the cities across America and you're like, okay, New York had a big fire, ⁓ Washing ⁓ Seattle had a big fire, San Francisco had a big fire, LA had a big fire. And you start to go, that's weird, isn't it? That's a weird coincidence. And what happened after those fires? Well, we built an entire civilization then on top of the remains. It didn't look like the way it looked before. Right? It didn't look like it. And isn't it interesting that that's happening again? So maybe, yeah, maybe it is sabotage. Maybe it is just the tunnels that are being built underneath in and you know I these aren't engineers digging these tunnels. Maybe it's that. It's all related, I guess, is my point that I've been making this entire show. Which is this the the street takeovers The mobs bussing in the stores and taking wherever they want, tunnels under the ground, mysterious fires being lit, destroying entire communities. It's all connected. And guess what we're finding out? The government's not here to help you. The government's doing it in a lot of cases. And we can't seem to vote our way out of it in California. So I don't know what's next. I don't but Spencer. Pratt was absolutely right. Something weird's going on in LA. And I don't think it is the typical just degradation of city. And even if it were, by the way, even if it were, Los Angeles has the highest taxes in the nation. There should be no reason why that though that city is not running smoothly and efficiently and has all the amenities that you could ever need. I don't like where any of this is going. Now, as a Christian, I am always reminded, and I I filled in for Stacey Washington the other night on Sirius XM, ⁓ the Patriot channel 125, where I am an official guest host over there. I filled in for her the other night. And Stacey likes to open all of her shows with a verse of the evening. So I text her, I said, G what is your verse for the evening? And she gave me ⁓ Philippians, ⁓ I think it's four, six through seven, which is do not be anxious for anything, but in all things. ⁓ pray to God with thanksgiving and praise. And ⁓ I take that very seriously to not be anxious about anything. That's really hard to do when your job is monitoring the bad news all day, every day. But I want to extend that to you. It helped me. And I think it should help you. ultimately this is our home. We belong here. Okay. We human beings, we belong here. And so we have every right to protect it and we have every right to defend it. And and not only do we have every right, we have every responsibility. This has been given to us. And we are have not been good stewards. Voters, we we're all guilty. We have not been good stewards and now the bad people are in charge and we don't know how to get them out. Let's see what Solace says. Yeah, the last thing I thought of was the most frightening terrorism, and these are test runs. Man. I think some of those forest fires are terrorism. Forest fires are a form of terrorism. I think some of those forest fires are terrorism. I'd love to get into the woods of Canada. I mean, not really. I don't want to go into the woods of Canada, but I don't even want to go to Canada. And I'm from Canada. I don't even want to go to Canada. ⁓ but I'd love to get into the woods up there and see what's in there. Remember last year when they in eastern Canada where I'm from. They actually banned people walking in the woods. You couldn't go for a walk in the woods, couldn't go hunting. You just couldn't go out into the woods that you own as a taxpayer. You weren't allowed. I don't know how they enforce that, but you weren't allowed. And they make at that time I remember saying they're probably putting something in the woods. That's why they don't want you to go in there. They said it was because, well, we keep people out to prevent the fires. And my Canadian friends who almost all of them, there are a couple of exceptions, almost all of them are completely captured. By the hive mine. It is bizarre. They ne like I have actually unfriended some lifelong Canadian friends after Charlie died. I was I watched them talk about how he deserved it. And I was like, Yeah, I know we went to high school together, but don't talk to me anymore. You're not safe. But a lot of Canadians aren't safe. Like they're not safe people because they are a part of the hive mind. So I had a lot of Canadian friends say, ⁓ well, that's to keep us safe. That's to keep us safe because people keep starting forest fires. Okay, why is then your idea to keep people safe is to keep people good people locked up or locked in their homes or to keep them out of certain places rather than prosecuting actual crime. Rather than you, you as the government going into the woods and making sure no one's starting fires. Clearing the brush, doing all the things that you do to prevent forest fires. Why is that onus not on the government? The onus is on the law abiding citizens. Do you understand? I've already said this once today. This is the lawless being unleashed on the lawful. To do to us what the electeds can't do. It's on purpose. So I don't know what's in the woods up in Canada, but I think it's some kind of system, device, but it is directing the ⁓ the smoke into I mean, and that wouldn't be very hard to do. That's not a crazy thing. You can you can find you can find ⁓ Pro programs or event spaces, or you can find businesses that offer like ⁓ indoor skydiving, right? Where they have so much fan pressure coming from beneath you that it gives you buoyancy and you can pretend like you're flying. They're all over the United States. I mean, if you can and you can do it for multiple people. So I mean, come on. If they can make a wind machine that can help you fly, they can make a wind machine big enough to just blow some smoke. into the United States. So some of it might be terrorism. Yeah. And we thought that actually, Solace, it was an in that's an interesting interesting comment you made because we were saying that during the ⁓ fires, during the January fires last year in 25, ⁓ that some of these people, some of these firebugs aren't just random homeless people, that they're being unleashed on us on purpose. And if you think about if you put that together with what Karen Bass got caught saying on that phone call Right where she's I'm out yeah, I'm out of the country, but and I know I'm supposed to come back, but just all will be be clear in a few days. She's just getting out of town. She she didn't want to be in danger while they burned everybody else out of house and home. California's a bigger mess than we think, but it's not a mess that should be abandoned. I do not believe that. I'm not again, I'm not judging anyone for leaving. And I'm not even saying that my family and I won't be in that boat one day. I pray to God we're not. This is our home. We love the state. We believe it's worth fighting for. But I will tell you that we I was just telling my son this earlier today. We are entering the time of the strong man. We are so w we say good times make weak men and weak men make bad times and bad times make strong men. We're in the strong men portion of that. And I don't know that it's gonna look that We're in the strong men and strong woman portion. A strong woman looks different from from a strong man, but you get my ⁓ you get my drift here. So in that aspect, I feel a little hope. I feel like ⁓ I think the strong men are beginning to step up, they're beginning to set boundaries, they're beginning to draw their lines. ⁓ I just hope it's not too late. I hope it's not too late. And that might be another reason why the left is so attracted to like terrible men, terrible human beings, like Glen Graham ⁓ Graham Platner, may we forget his soon his name very soon, or ⁓ Abdul What's his face in Michigan. ⁓ they have a ⁓ masculine presentation, and because the left has Destroyed masculinity. They don't know what it looks like when they see it. They can only see caricatures. So if Abdul What's his face is always out there talking like a tough guy, right? I mean, I believe he would fold in five seconds if he actually met a real man. And he actually had to go fist to fist with a real man. He would fold in five seconds, but he talks like a tough guy, and they like that. ⁓ Graham Platiner talked like a tough guy, talked like ⁓ you know, in Burley, he had a mustache, everybody. He had a mustache. And he wore flannel. And so because they don't understand men and men are only caricatures in their universe, they thought, ⁓ these guys are real men. So their version of strong men is scary, but they're also very soft. And so if when we find real strong men to step in and lead this country, it's not going to be fun and it's not going to be funny, but it is going to be necessary in a good way. And I believe we're there. I believe these men and and I we ⁓ if you listen, I'm gonna end this podcast, but i if you think, if you think I'm talking to my Democrat and liberal friends now, and well progressive friends, if you think that Donald Trump is bad, if you think that Donald Trump is the is the Nazi, that Donald Trump is, you know, the extreme right winger, you have not seen one damn thing yet. You ain't seen nothing yet. He's trying to give y'all a way out of this. Trump's actually the good guy. Trump's actually the nice guy. The guy that comes after Trump, that's the guy you should be worried about. Y'all think that, y'all think and and by the way, if these assassination attempts, God forbid, ever become successful, and you think that, okay, the head's been cut off of this monster, and that's it. We can get back to business as usual as progressives, think again. That's gonna make it worse. That's gonna make it worse. This we are creeping into the time of strong men. Maybe they tell them to stay inside because they don't want people seeing them starting fires for land grabs or climate change. Right. Another great comment. Follows another great, another great idea. Could be that too. I said that I thought they were putting some in the Chinese own Canada, by the way. I'm from that area of Canada. My family and I visited a few years ago after having been gone for many, many years. And I was shocked. I was shocked. I couldn't believe it. I And from a small island, and that island's been taken over by the Chinese. And all the good, you know, left-wing, progressive, pro-green party Canadians voted for it. They all voted for it because they were like, we're not going to be like Americans. That's the Canadian identity. We're not like America. That's all that being a Canadian is these days. We're not American. We're better than Americans. So to prove they're better than Americans, they welcomed all of these people in. And now they can't get them out. Furthermore, all of these people have taken. the positions that once belonged to Canadians. Canadians have become second class citizens in their own country. And I could not believe it when I went there and saw it with my own eyes. And so that's why I said I thought like it was China or something putting something dastardly in the woods. But it could be as simple as I just didn't want people to to discover that they were the ones setting the fire. Either way, it's deliberate and it's evil. And Americans, you don't have to you don't have to accept You have you live in a representative government. You don't have to accept what your local city council, like the ones in McKinney, Texas, thrust upon you if it goes against the American way of life. You don't have to accept it. And you don't just have to say, ⁓ well, that's the law. I guess we can't do anything about this Sharia city going up in the middle of our neighborhood. You don't have to accept it. But it's going to take strong men to repel it. So who out there is strong? Who is strong enough to do it? Los Angeles is falling apart and I think it's on purpose. Does it have time to be saved? I don't know because I really don't know what the end game is there. I'm not quite sure what the end game is. I mean I'm guessing, I'm giving you a lot of guesses and and educated in opinions, but I don't really know what the end game is, so I don't know how close they are to it. ⁓ Is it too late? I just We'll see what the DOJ does. We'll see what the DOJ can dig up. And we'll see what happens to us here in November. Can we get Steve Hilton into office? That'll be a big game changer. Can we get Michael Gates as attorney general? That will help a lot. But we're still a one party state, even if they win. And I don't have any it's gotta be too big to rig. I actually think Michael Gates can beat that beat the spread. I really do. Not so sure about Steve. Because not because Steve can't do it, but because of the machine that he'll be up against for governor. That's a that's a very public position. and it will say a lot if the governor of California flips to red. So Steve's got the biggest uphill battle. If anyone can do it, it is Steve Hilton. I've known him for a decade now. And ⁓ you know, Charlie believed in Steve. He endorsed Steve right from the beginning before he passed, he endorsed Steve. And ⁓ President Trump believes in Steve. And I do too. So We'll see how it goes. ⁓ but yeah, Los Angeles is falling apart and it is so sad. It is so sad to see. So good luck, LA. Listen, I'm here in California. My family's here in California. We're not going anywhere for now. We're gonna be here in this fight, and we invite you to join the fight with us right where you are. Do what you can where you are.
