Transcript
- speaker-0: Well, hello everybody. Welcome to another episode of the Orange Report with Kira Davis. I am your host Kira Davis. I am just Kira Davis on Instagram, justkiradavis and kiradavis on X. We are broadcasting live to X right now. I'm going to pin this real quick. And we can also be found on YouTube. We can be found on ⁓ Facebook. live and then we post the recorded episode all around, but you're in the right place. You found me. Well, welcome to the show. We've got a lot to talk about today, but we're pretty much only going to talk about one thing today because over the weekend we finally had a Republican debate in the California gubernatorial race, Steve Hilton versus Chappie Yonko. Thank you to the Lincoln club of Riverside County for hosting that Coachella Valley. think it was. ⁓ And we really did need this. had hoped to get that debate or some version of it in the prior Democrat debate. But of course we know what happened with that. And if you're watching this back in the future and you want a little history lesson, the Democrats chickened out. Steve Hilton cleaned them up on the first and only debate that they all had. Chad Bianco, of course, skipped that one. And I talked about that quite a bit. I thought that that was a huge mistake for him. I still think that was a huge mistake for him because I don't think he was prepared to meet Steve on the Lincoln club debate stage, not the way he should have been. I think as somebody who's been involved in politics, if I was advising his campaign, I would have advised him to come with a lot more preparation than he did. But we're going to talk about that, but that we saw that, you know, they, and I think Chad was very probably relieved that the Democrats flaked on that, but it wasn't his fault. That wasn't his doing. That was the Democrats doing for sure. They taught, they screamed and screech about race. I honestly, I haven't heard a single Californian except the idiots running for Democrat on the Democrat side. I haven't heard a single California worry about the race of the candidates. I really haven't. Even on the left, I still, I talked to a lot of people on the left. follow a lot of left-wing accounts. Most of my left-wing friends have abandoned me at this point, probably rightfully so, but I used to depend on them to get, ⁓ the skinny on what's going on in the left. But from what I can see, there are very few people on the left actually worrying about race in this race. The top candidates are white men. And you know what? It's almost always like that. I don't know why we've decided in America that we're going to force something else on people. For whatever reason, I have ideas that are probably too controversial for the, for the orange report at this moment. Maybe I'll go over to TikTok and drop them there, but for whatever reason, most Americans end up choosing a white man to lead them. Not all the time, obviously. ⁓ But you know, there's rumors that the Democrat party is saying, you know, internally they're saying we can't run another woman. We can't run another woman of color. We can't run another candidate of color. It's just not working. If we want to ⁓ really compete in this space, we're going to probably need to run a white guy. And I think, I think most Americans, most California, I'll stick to California. Most Californians are over that. ⁓ We've been doing the DEI, CRT, multiculturalism, oppressed people groups for 20 years now. We've been doing that. And all that's happened to California is we've gone straight to hell. That's all that's happened. None of these candidates of color. I talked about this when they, when they ⁓ tank the first debate or that second debate, none of the candidates of color that we have produced in this state have been productive. None of them have helped. None of them have done well for California, not a single one of them. In fact, all of them have been presiding over the worst corruption and worst fraud in America and possibly American history. As we're going to find out, people were rolling up on a trillion dollars of fraud here in the state of California, a trillion dollars. And I want you to think about every ballot that you have ever voted on and how many taxes they add to that ballot and then how they tell you. that you are cruel and a Nazi and a racist if you don't want to approve the new taxes and we're up to a trillion dollars in fraud of those very taxes. Taxes you've approved for hospice care, for daycare, for education, a trillion dollars, a trillion, that's our national budget, a trillion dollars. of your money, that's your money. there's more tax measures on the ballot this year, by the way. They're coming back to ask you for more. And are we ever gonna see it? Now, I posted the other day on X, I said, you know, this makes me sick to my stomach, because we're never gonna see a dime of it back. And we're just supposed to pretend that, ⁓ well, this is what happens. And our candidate for attorney general, Michael Gates, who is also running on Steve Hilton's golden ticket, he responded back. ⁓ This is not true, Kira. I fully intend to prosecute and get your money back. So your lips to God's ears, Michael. ⁓ We got to elect that man. No matter what happens, we have to elect that man, but that's kind of the brilliance of Hilton's platform. So anyway, we had this big, big debate, but in big news, of course, well, many of you may not have heard, but last night we were recording this on Monday, Easter Monday, and yesterday was Sunday. And Trump had a couple of interesting Easter messages. We'll talk about one later, but last night he did tweet out or post on true social and has been shared across media channels. This is verified. This is real. President Trump has endorsed Steve Hilton for governor of California. That's a big, big, big deal. I know the Hilton campaign was, ⁓ was waiting to see that you can pull that. There we go. There we go. on my glasses so I can read this. I have known and respected Steve Hilton who is running for governor of California for many years. He is a truly fine man, one who has watched as this once great state has gone to hell. Didn't I say that earlier? We've gone straight to hell. Gavin Newscombe and the Democrats, I love that he just calls him Gavin Newscombe, and the Democrats have done absolutely an absolutely horrendous job. People are fleeing, crime is increasing, and taxes are the highest in any state in the country, maybe the world. Steve can turn it around before it's too late and as president, I will help him do so. With federal help and with a great governor like Steve Hilton, California can be better than ever before. Steve Hilton has my complete and total endorsement. He will have, he will be a great governor and importantly, will never let you down, President Donald J. Trump. And you know, there's a lot of Hilton supporters in the comments and all over the place. And even in that debate, excuse me, a lot of Bianco supporters. First of all, this endorsement is important. Okay, this is really important. Now I'm writing, I'm working on a column at my website, go to justkira-davis.com to sign up for my ⁓ newsletter. I'm working on a column today, it'll drop today, about why I think the Trump endorsement is good. It's a good thing and it matters. But I based it on my friend Amy Reichardt, who is one of the top ⁓ investigative reporters here in the state of California, out of San Diego. She just finished running around with Nick Shirley. She's busted all kinds of fraud open in San Diego County. She is a certified rock star in this business. So I respect everything that she says, but she posted on X this morning that, ⁓ you know, she feels she loves Trump. She's a big Trump fan, but she's not running for office. And, and a Trump endorsement is the kiss of death in the state of California. And you know what? I think she's wrong. I think she's right. two years ago, four years ago, 10 years ago. I think she's right. Now I'm not so sure. And let me tell you why. Actually, I'm positive. I think this is a good thing. Let me tell you why. Let me make my case. First of all, Republicans have been running away from the conservative Republican brand in this state for 20 years. After we got the jungle primaries, every Republican and even the official position of the California GOP has been to move to the middle. You don't want to scare voters too much. California is a true blue state. They're only going to vote for Democrats. If we want to make our case, we basically have to be Democrat light. I have never thought that was a good idea, but I kind of bought it for a little while because I thought maybe I just don't understand how things work here. 20 years ago, I was new to the state. 20 years later, I can tell you that's been a disastrous point of view. The proof is in the pudding. don't even need, I'm right. I'm right. because you only need to look at the election system for the last 20 years. What have we won? We've won nothing. So that's been a losing strategy, right? We have 20 years of data on that to prove that. And frankly, as a former Democrat, I mean, I came over to the Republican side in what, 2004, I think that was my first election I voted for a Republican. And so as a former Democrat, you know, I can tell you Democrats, Democrats are going to vote for Democrat light. Why would you vote for a Republican when you can just vote for a Democrat? Do you know what I mean? You could just vote for a Democrat who legitimately supports what you support, even if you don't like some of the things that the party has done. Why would you cross the aisle to vote for a Republican who sounds like a Democrat? And I know that a lot of people feel like, yeah, but if you, if you go in guns a blazing and you, you know, are completely authentic as a Republican. particularly a conservative Republican in California, you're going to get rejected. You're going to lose. Well, first of all, we have been losing. We've already been losing. We've lost almost everything, almost everything except for here in Orange County, which is on its way out the door. People we flipped blue and 22 actually. We've, we've got, you know, we've been losing. We don't have much more to lose. So to my mind, a Trump endorsement can't do worse for any Republican candidate. just simply cannot, but it can do better. Number one, the point I was getting to is that Californians want a distinction. They want a distinction. I've always thought that. I ran hard when I was running for school board in 2022. I didn't couch anything and I did lose. And a lot of people in the Republican party said, you need to calm down. You can't really be talking about the transgender thing in 22. People were still kind of on the fence about it, but guess who proved to be right? I did. I was running and I was sounding those alarm bells and yeah, did make people uncomfortable. I don't think that's why I lost. I don't think I lost, actually. I don't think I lost. I think I won. But that's neither here nor there at this point. But, you know, to my mind, I was like, no, I have to be honest with the voters because people have to know what they're voting for. And so many Californians, Californian politicians have been lying to the voters. I would rather go down telling the truth than win telling a lie. Cause then you just have to live that lie and then you become a liar and liars become corrupt. So I'd rather go down telling the truth, but I don't think California needs to go down telling the truth. I don't think the Republican party needs to go down telling the truth. Not at this point. Now we should have always been telling the truth because when you stand on the truth, God will honor that no matter what. Yes, I did lose my school board race in 2022, but God has honored me. He has honored my reputation. He has honored my career. He has honored my voice. because I told the truth, even when it was hard to tell it, and even when it costs me something, I told the truth. Californians want the truth. We've been lied to so much, we left reservoirs empty when Los Angeles needed them. We let that happen. The people let that happen because we weren't paying attention. We've been lied to. So I think Californians are starving for the truth. I think they are craving ⁓ ⁓ delineation, they are craving clarity. And even the Californians who go, you know what? No, the Trump thing, that's too much for me. Fine. Like at least they know what they're not choosing. And then they know what they are choosing. But if we don't give them a distinction, then when things go to hell in this state, it's too easy for them to go, well, it's just the generic political landscape, right? We didn't have many good people to choose from. Instead of us being able to look back, we can't look back at the last gubernatorial election in the state. Brian Dolly, do you remember that name? Nobody does. Nice guy, boring milquetoast candidate who made absolutely no presence, who was no presence on the scene. Most people didn't even know we were having a gubernatorial election that year. If you don't give people a distinction and always, and and be consistent and truthful about it, then you don't have the moral high ground when it comes, when people are finally ready to make the choice. So all of you milquetoast Republicans out there, now nobody trusts you. Your base doesn't trust you. Certainly the middle is not going to trust you because you weren't honest about what you thought and what you believed would be good for this state when it counted. Now you don't even have the luxury of standing on the truth. of standing on consistency. I do. And guess what Steve Hilton does too. Let me address this too. It's no secret I'm a Hilton supporter and a Hilton friend. I've known him for over a decade now. His show is where I met Charlie Kirk. That's how I became a friend of Charlie Kirk's on Steve Hilton's show. And Charlie Kirk endorsed Steve before his death, because Charlie and I both knew the man that Steve was, but I ran into, I'm running into people still today to this very day. I ran into ⁓ a good, intelligent, know, very politically minded woman here in California a couple of months ago, and we were talking about the difference between the two candidates. And at that time, I wasn't saying anything negative about Chad, because I wanted everybody to make their own choices and make it honestly. I wasn't saying anything negative. So she was telling me all kinds of negative stuff about Steve and I was just listening. And one of the things she said was, I know that you like Steve. She didn't know that we were actually, we actually are personal friends. I know that you like Steve, but I have heard that he's a Democrat plant. And that's so crazy to me because I've known Steve for over a decade. Like if he's a Democrat plant, then he's been playing the long, long game. Do you know what I mean? The long game. I have known this man since before he even had an inkling that he might run for governor. And I've watched him grow and change. And you know how he's grown and changed over the years? His core values have not changed. His core views have not changed. He's only become more conservative because just like me, he's been sitting in this state watching it fall to one party rule. And that's where he finally said, somebody who's got to do this. And I think I have the juice to do it. And as I explained last week, that's why I'm supporting him. And if I thought Chad had the juice to do it, I would support Chad. But I'll tell you what, if I, if I had like even a small measure of thought that Chad could pull this out, I was cured of that at the debate this weekend. Cured. I. I do not think he has what it takes to face this Democrat field. He could barely face Steve. And I think he did way better than I thought he was going to do, by the way. He really did. But even then, as somebody who is politically savvy, I've worked on campaigns that I know what I'm talking about. And if I was his campaign team, I would have been real nervous about that performance. He was antsy, he was defensive, and he didn't really have good answer for the very... ⁓ combative things Hilton said, and of course he was going to be combative. That's the other strange thing that's happening today. Everybody's like, well, Hilton said mean things about Chad. Like Chad doesn't say mean things about Hilton. Chad does all the time. I only went public with my Hilton comments, with my Hilton endorsement when I sat personally, personally in a talk. ⁓ I sat right in front of Chad and I watched him look at me as he tried to spin a TP USA endorsement. He was lying. He was lying. And I couldn't believe it. Cause until then I thought we were all playing nice. And then I realized Chad's not playing nice. So the reason why you think that Steve's the only one giving negative talking points here against Chad is because Chad's not on social media. I mean, he is a lot of you follow him, but like, for instance, did you have you seen any clips from that debate? That's huge. He should have had a rapid response team putting those clips out right away. That's huge. How is Chad going to reach this middle that he was courting in that debate that he was saying, Steve can't reach them, but I can because I'm the law and order candidate and we'll get to that. How is he going to reach those people? And he doesn't have social media. Those people aren't going to your town halls, Chad. They're not going to the Republican debates, Chad. You got to find a way to meet them where they are. And you don't even have that social media game. Got a good social media following. But none of your campaigners, none of your consultants thought to clip up that debate and put some of your strong moment. I can't believe I'm giving you advice, but put your strong moment. See what I mean? Like no one can share your strong moments with the middle. Now maybe he's on blue sky and maybe I should go over and look at that. haven't seen, maybe he's on blue sky trying to court those people. I don't know. Maybe he's doing better on TikTok. I don't really do TikTok. But when I look, at, you know, we're going to talk about this debate. And when I looked at, you know, the comments on the YouTube video, great, the 13,000 views so far, that's very good for a Republican debate. There was a lot of Chad supporters in the comments, a lot, not as many Steve supporters in the comments, but Steve is consistently ahead in the polls. And I think anecdotally we can see why he's ahead. Um, but I, but that's because that's the entirety of Chad's baits. It looks like he has a lot of people, that's because they're, following him where he goes. When he pops up on social media, they're there, but that's everybody. That's all of them. So he's not really winning people from the middle right now. And, ⁓ and I just thought it was so bizarre as somebody who it's the same way I feel about all of the bizarre conspiracy theories around Charlie's death and around Charlie and his wife right now. Like the Charlie I knew was just a regular guy. Regular, he was wealthy. He was a wealthy guy and a popular guy. Okay, so in that respect he wasn't regular I get that but If you met Charlie you wouldn't be going like there's definitely something off about this guy He's definitely like involved in some deep conspiracy some deep intrigue with Israel and the CIA like you you wouldn't you would think that's as Ridiculous as someone saying that about your husband or wife who passed away, right? It's such a bizarre thing to be on the inside of all of this, to know a lot of the details and yet to still hear people that I'm close to, like friends even, talk about this like, as if I don't know Charlie and don't know more than they do about what's going on. It is bizarre. People will fill in the blanks with anything. It was the same way when Andrew Breitbart died. A lot of you might not remember him. But I'm sure there's still some of you who are going to come to my comments and say, yeah, Karen, Andrew was murdered. He wasn't, and nobody who knew him thinks that. Nobody does. Only people who don't know him think that. It's the same with Charlie and with Steve. I just found that so bizarre that someone would say that so easily. And I still hear that. It's like, it's so weird to me because I've known Steve forever. And he's a real person. He's a real human being. You know, he's not some secret plant, you know, but it's just so odd what politics does. And it's so odd that Chad has now inspired almost a cult-like following where like even a Trump endorsement for some people, like you all voted for Trump and Trump had, and you know, all of them are like, well, you know, Steve's got Gloria Romero and she's a former Democrat who yeah, came over to the Republican side many years ago, but that's still not years enough for us. You know, it's like being from a small town and someone new moves in. You're not, you're not a towner. You're not a townie for like 20 years. It's the same like in Republicans, I guess, like the base Republicans don't like people just coming over. You got to prove your metal for like 20 years or something. But that's what Trump did. That's how he won. He built a coalition and all of you voted for that coalition. And suddenly, because Trump is using his wisdom, and political savvy to endorse Houthi. He thinks he's going to win California. All of a sudden it's like, well, I don't trust Trump. It's just that's culty behavior. That's cultish. I'm seeing a lot of that today. No matter the Trump endorsement is good because it will make a delineation, but also it's going to drive voter turnout in midterms. That's going to be really important. This is a midterm election. Presidential election is different. It's easier to get people out in a presidential year because people are already concerned about the presidential election. And a lot of people start at that spot in the ballot and stop there. By the way, shame on you. She'd go down to the bottom of your ballot. That's where all of your local races are. And don't forget that it wasn't President Trump who closed your school during COVID. It was your local mayor, your local health department, your governor, all the local people. So you need to train yourself to look all the way down the ballot and don't vote for an office you don't know anything about. Cause you could end up voting the person who will close your schools down. You'll vote them in cause you were like, Oh, I I've seen that name before that happens a lot with judges. Don't do that. You're not helping anybody. A lot of you, I know as I know for a fact, cause I queried you afterwards in 24, a lot of you voted for the judges who closed your schools down. didn't know it. And they won by like four or five votes. That's how narrow it is. Sometimes you voted for the person you were bitching about during COVID. So be really, really careful. It's not a test, all right? You don't get penalized if you don't answer every question. You don't have to vote for every office, but you should scan down and vote for what you know. So in the off year, in a midterm year, it's turnout that wins, not a presidential election that brings out the whole nation. It's turnout. It's who's aware of the issues. And we've got voter ID on the ballot this year, and that's a huge issue for left and right. It's 80-20. Everyone wants it. It's going to be a huge driver. That means it's going to be a huge base driver. So what do you want? You want somebody who speaks to the base, who speaks to the base Trump. And what did Trump just say? Vote for Steve Hilton. Yeah, it's huge. So are there going to be voters in California who are like never Trump? No. Yeah, of course. But guess what? The math is there. If every person who voted for Donald Trump voted for Steve Hilton in the next gubernatorial election, he runs away. He runs away with it. So the math is there. Now Chad can help by dropping out, but I'm going to bet he's not going to do that until after the convention. I am worried that the California GOP is going to flake out on this. And I think that's cowardly. We have some county parties that do the same. My own county party does that. And I think it's cowardly. ⁓ do think that, ⁓ again, to speak to my point of Making a choice taking a risk and coming down on the side of something if you don't stand for anything you'll fall for anything right Stand for nothing fall for anything, but both work. don't stand for anything you fall for anything And I feel like that's been the California party We haven't stood for anything and so we fall for anything and then when people come along and they speak decisively and clearly Like I did in 22 we get pushed out we get pushed to the side we get insulted People in our own party work against us. I one of my favorite things to do is go back and look at old columns and old videos I've made from like a decade 15 20 years ago I like to see how much I've changed and you know what I'm proud to say not freaking much Not very much the truth doesn't change I'm stances change. What's the hot changes? What's spicy changes, but the truth doesn't change Stand on the truth now. So in the future when the truth becomes visible, you can say I stood for it the whole time California GOP can't say that So they've got a lot of catching up to do, but guess who can say that Steve? I've been there, I've seen him and you can go back. You can watch his stuff. You can watch Charlie. You can watch Charlie Kirk's endorsement. Don't tell me that you want to be like Charlie and then tell me that Charlie was some kind of Democrat plant for endorsing Steve Hilton. Charlie knew and he knew that Chad was in the race. Chad was already in the race when Charlie endorsed Steve. So if Charlie's legacy is important to you, then what he thought about him will be important to you too. And it'll at least be influential. And maybe you don't think he's the ideal guy. That's fair. That's fair. Maybe you don't think he's the ideal guy, but the idea of making him out to be some evil Democrat plant while at the same time talking about, want a TP USA chapter. I love Charlie Kirkby like Charlie. does not compute, does not compute. But some people, some people don't want to be. Some people don't want change. They just want to be right. We have those people in the Republican party too. All right. Let's go to this debate. I wanted to play what I think was the most spicy part of it. Let's pull up number four. ⁓ Okay. So let me just set this up. Pretty, pretty good debate. Both candidates I thought were pretty clear. ⁓ To start out, I did think that Chad's body language was very tight and maybe nervous. He looked really antsy that this is his first debate. You know, naturally this is Steve's second-ish, ⁓ and maybe third, you could count up. And so he's, and he's also been a commentator. And so he's had to face, ⁓ you know, ⁓ unfriendly interviewers and unfriendly questions. So he's got a lot more experience to be fair. I'm just trying to keep it fair here, keep it kosher. ⁓ but as it went on, it was clear that Chad had, to my mind, Chad had a lot of talking points. The crowd loved it. It was in held in Coachella Valley. That's Riverside County, right? So that's where Chad's from. ⁓ but Steve was very clear. Again, you know, I'm biased here. I'm going to admit that I'm biased. So I definitely was looking for the flaws in Chad's arguments for sure, but there were many. And the, the biggest issue was going to be this immigration issue. actually think that's what Trump was waiting for. I think he was waiting to see who was going to come out strong on that. Cause Trump just wants to win California. Yes, he knows Hilton and he knows a lot of the players in this race personally, but he just wants to win. And so do we, so does Steve. That's what I like. So does Steve. He just wants to win. And, ⁓ and so the immigration thing was going to be the biggest thing because Chad had that very iffy video where he supports amnesty. I'm not even going to say seemingly, seemingly supports it. I watched the video ad nauseam and could not glean any other, any other message from it. And as an opinion journalist myself, I did do my best to watch that respectfully and as objectively as possible. And I did the same with the BLM video. The BLM video is what really changed my mind about Chad because I'd only ever watch it without sound. But when I watched it with sound, it was completely different experience. You had to know Chad's team had to know that that and the immigration thing was going to come up. Now he had an argument for, but I'm not sure he was prepared for it. So I want to prepare. want to, you can go ahead and pull this up. I'm ready, Scott. So I want you to, Rick Brunel is, ⁓ moderating this great job, Rick. And he brings up the immigration question. This is a bit long, but I want to let it play out. We're going to, I'm going to have Scott play it at one and a half times or whatever. So it speeds up. But I want you to watch Chad's body language while Steve is speaking. I want you to hear Chad's response. Why don't you ask yourself, is this a satisfactory response to the very important and pressing question of illegal immigration and what it means for our state? And then I want you to watch Steve pull out the receipt. and ask yourself who was ready, who was ready to face Democrats. Go ahead and play it. speaker-1: So, Chad, same question. Would you support using California state authority to advance Trump era priorities like stricter immigration enforcement or reduced federal regulatory influence? Yeah. So for 33 years, the only thing that can guarantee me losing my job is to lie. So my 33 year existence, including eight years as the sheriff, which has speaker-0: pause for a second. Okay, so he says the only thing that could cause me to lose my job is to lie. And he did lie. He told a really big lie in the Trump ⁓ Coachella Valley rally right before election, where after Trump had been, after Trump survived that assassination attempt, RIP Corey Compertory, ⁓ He went to Coachella Valley and ⁓ Chad claimed that he stopped another assassination attempt. And that guy that he stopped is still going through litigation right now. It wasn't an assassination attempt. That guy was a ⁓ hunter coming home and he informed the cops at the blockade that he had weaponry in his trunk, hunting rifles in his trunk. He informed them and they still... And and Chad still made it seem like this guy was attempting to assassinate Donald Trump that guy's still working to clear his name And I think he's suing Chad right now So that is a very big lie that Chad told so lie number one which proves lie number two Which is that he could get fired for lying? Go ahead speaker-1: brought me to a point where I'm probably one of the most recognized and respected law enforcement leaders in this country is based on is based on honesty and leadership. And so the disagreement that Steve says we have in this is based on 100 % an absolute lie, either from you or a staffer. And so the leadership part is you don't get to pick whether it was you or the staffer because you're the one repeating it. So it's you that's lying. The reality of California and immigration is we have a sanctuary state law that I am actually suing the state to remove it. I absolutely despise the sanctuary state law. absolutely must go away. It is destroying public safety in this state and it has been a disaster from the very beginning. We fought in Sacramento telling them what was going to happen if they implemented sanctuary state. It would force ice into our community because they were no longer allowed in our jails. They didn't care. They did it on purpose. That's beside the point. The reality of now is I have never ever been on the side of illegal immigration. Steve would just like you all to believe it because it's a campaign and either he made this clip or someone one of his staffers made the tiny little clips that he's sending you to basically lie to you to believe that I don't. I am one of the most cooperative sheriffs in the entire state, turning people over to ICE. ICE will tell you, every single Border Patrol chief or every single ICE administrator or secretary will tell you that I am by far the most cooperative sheriff in the country, including California. The problem is, that when I get asked questions or when I go into groups, I don't get whisked in the back and whisked out the front. stay and answer questions until everybody's gone. Stop right there. speaker-0: True. I was there, been to Chad's events. I've watched him rush out before the event is even over. I'll write, like, I've seen it with my own eyes. I've seen it with my own eyes. That's not true. But also that's not true about Steve. Steve has been running town halls all up and down the state. Not since you announced Chad, but for almost two years he's been running through his organization, Golden Together. And then of course, when he filed to run for governor. And I've been to now dozens of Steve's events and his campaign team has to drag him out of there. They have to drag him out to the next event. Actually Steve's favorite thing to do is to talk to people and Chad doesn't like talking to people. Prove me wrong. He doesn't. That's not the kind of guy he is. That's not the of his wife, excuse me, the kind of woman his wife is. I'm sorry, Denise. That's not the kind of couple they are. They're a law enforcement couple and those people tend to be very stern and very private and they don't, they're not necessarily, you know, they're wary. They have suspicions and that's how they have to live. That's probably, you know, what made Bianco as effective as he was to be able to get to this point in his career. So no, he's not, he's not a big talker. doesn't like to talk and maybe that is not always a bad thing. I just think for him to say that about Steve is of course completely disingenuous. Steve always stays and answers to the last question unless he has answered so many questions and taken up so much time that he has to rush out to the next event because he's late. I've seen that with my own eyes. I've seen both with my own eyes and I watched Chad go negative first with my own eyes, with my own eyes. So he's lying about that. Continue. speaker-1: hours. So it gives disingenuous politicians, lifelong politicians, the ammunition to cut and paste and slice and tell you a different story of what is in context. So the reality of immigration is I am completely against any form of amnesty. I've never said that amnesty was a good idea. Only Steve has in his attacks on me. Every single person that has come across this border illegally knew that they were going to be deported at one point or another. When we arrest them in the jails, they absolutely must, absolutely must go back to the place they came from. ⁓ And that has to happen by... Stop. speaker-0: want you to notice how he's answering these questions because he has not refuted what he said in those videos. All he said is, illegals in the jails, of course I have to go. But that's not what we want. That's not what California wants. We do want the illegals in the jails to go. We would like ICE to go in and get those people instead of having to patrol the streets to pick them up and any other people that might get caught up in that. We don't want that, of course. But we don't want just that. This is a whole problem. We want them all gone because our whole system is collapsing under the weight of this illegal problem. And I want you to notice how Chad is shifting his language on this. Keep going. speaker-1: Either someone in the jail, sheriff calling immigration and having them come pick them up. End of discussion. Funny thing is that's how it worked up until 2017. 2017 it all changed. That's when sanctuary state policy happened. Here's what cannot happen. And this is what this is exactly what I said. The federal government is responsible for immigration enforcement. It cannot be local law enforcement. Local law enforcement doesn't have the jurisdiction. We may cooperate. And in some special instances, we did. But I cannot have deputies running around the streets doing immigration enforcement. And let me tell you why. Because we don't get to pick whether you're here visiting from Arizona, from another country, or whether or not you came here illegally. We don't even care. All we care about is if you are a victim or a suspect. So what I was talking about that he is just completely lying to you all about, me not cooperating with the federal government is this is what I cannot have. And if any of you disagree with me, there is something seriously wrong with you. I cannot have a 14 year old girl being repeatedly raped under the threat of deportation or the deportation of her family. I have to have that little girl know that when she sees somebody in uniform, she can run to them for help and know that we are going to help her. That is why the street level enforcement speaker-0: I know that that obviously that's a very passionate example, know who can be I mean he great job Chad, know, you can't how can you You argue against a 14 year old girl experiencing sexual assault. You're a horrible person Of course, he would use that but but he used that so that you would be emotional enough to not pay attention to what he said afterwards Which is I can't have these people being afraid of law enforcement in our communities No, I understand where he's coming from. Believe me, I have plenty of law enforcement in my family. I've had plenty of law enforcement friends. understand dealing with the local community is a lot different than dealing with, you know, federal issues. And if you're there to serve the local community, it's complicated. So I totally get that. I'm not saying I don't get that, but he's running for governor. And so when he gets to Sacramento and he, he, let's say he gets there without a team. mean, Steve's If he, if he were to win, Steve would be doing him the favor also of running this golden ticket, if any of them win too. But let's say he gets there without a team. Now he's facing the Democrat super majority and the mob that runs Sacramento. And they say, you know, you know, and they put pressure on him. He's already indicated to you that he has, ⁓ limitations. He's already indicated to you that he's putting limitations on his values around immigration. This is what he's indicating. So when a Democrat goes to him and says, look, Chad, we don't want you to cooperate with ICE even in the jails because it's making the community nervous and law enforcement is not going to be able to develop trust with that community. Is he going to say, ⁓ no, absolutely not. I stand firm on this and I'm not changing or is he going to kneel to them the way he knelt to the BLM crowd that told him to take the knee, that screamed at him to take the knee, that demanded he take the knee. And then he took a knee crotch level in front of that man. I'll never forget that image. That's not the image of a governor. So, ⁓ I want you to pay attention to how he's shifting the language around this. What he is telling you is, yeah, I'm going to cooperate with federal law enforcement. Great. Thank you, Chad. As he says that is the law, but we may not insist that local police cooperate with law, with federal law enforcement or ICE. because we don't want to make the illegals in our neighborhoods scared. And I think what would make the illegals in your neighborhood safe is if you enforce the law all the way around. Call me crazy. All right, go ahead. speaker-1: our history has never been involved in immigration enforcement. has always been in the jails when we arrest you, when we stop you for victimizing us and you're in the country illegally, you've got to go. And I am one of the most cooperative with our government in that. speaker-0: Let me make a point here. This is what I want to say about that. We don't want you to just arrest the illegals in the jails. We don't want you to just cooperate with the illegals who are in the jails. What we want to hear from you, Sheriff, is that when not that law enforcement, your law enforcement officer, you're not a sheriff anymore. You made that clear in this debate, but you're running as a sheriff. But when your local law enforcement officers are out and they run into say gangs, let's say they run into one of these e-bike cyclist gangs that take over our streets all the time. What we want to know is when they discover that some of those people are illegal, they will hand them over to authorities. They will refer them. That's the thing Chad is not saying. Do you understand? Can you hear it? That's the thing he's not saying. is that local law enforcement will also do their jobs when it comes to arresting people that they find in other criminal cases. For instance, if they go to a robbery and they discover that one of those people is here illegally, we want to know that that guy at that moment, even if he hasn't been arrested, is going to be referred to authorities. We want to know that when you suspect that When you local law enforcement suspect that in a neighborhood, in a community, when you suspect illegal alien activity, you will report that to the federal authorities who can do something about it. So I want you to pay attention to what Chad is not saying. Keep going. speaker-1: the state right this second and it's been going on for years trying to get rid of sanctuary state so the lie coming from steve or his staffers but here's the difference i know what leadership is it's coming from him the lie that i am against some type of leader enforcement of immigration is absolutely ludicrous i am the law and order person that for my entire career is based on integrity leadership and honesty so you're two minutes behind so do you want to take out this and well i agree i agree with speaker-0: Right here. ⁓ I, I cut Steve off. He's, he just said, I agree with Chad. The leadership is coming from me, but, ⁓ I, I also want to say that, ⁓ Chad is he's running as the law and order, ⁓ candidate. But he's talking about, but he's talking about amnesty. He's remember, think about what he didn't say. Think about what he's not saying. And here's the other mistake. Again, if I was running Chad's campaign, I'd be talking to him about this. You don't run over two minutes so that you let your opponent have an extra two minutes on the back end. should not, again, I'm just having my campaign hat on. Steve should not have the last word and extra time to say it, right? Like rookie move. Again, this is what I'm saying. Chad doesn't understand. Steve kept it concise. He knew exactly what his parameters were. If Chad gets on, the state stage to face Democrats and he's making those kinds of mistakes and debates, it's a death knell. This is what I'm saying. It's not just about if he's a good man or not. It's about can he face the people he needs to face and win? And this is a big rookie mistake to go two minutes over your time with defensiveness in defense of something. You're not even positing stuff. You're defending yourself for an extra two minutes. Now you've given your very intelligent and ⁓ educated opponent. An extra two minutes on the back end to have the last word, rookie move, keep going. speaker-1: He made a very serious accusation, accusing me of lying, and I thought he might do that because he's done it before. And so I just want to be clear about the words that Chad used and the words that I used to describe his positions. Here's what I said. I said that Chad has said that he supports a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, no matter how they came here. And I said that he has said that the 10 million people who came here under Biden across the open border are actually here legally. That's what I said, he said. So I brought his words with me. speaker-0: pull them right out of his pocket. speaker-1: We are the Brit Mayor Show, April the 11th, 2025 last year. What is this quote? What many people don't realize is that the 10 million individuals who came through border patrol into our country in the last few four years are here legally. That's what Chad said. And just a fact for all of you, they all are the one I'll be now, but they came across legally. How is it a lie for me to say what you've just confirmed? You said Chad, you also said the bottom line is that we absolutely must. speaker-0: mean, and then Chad confirmed it. Do you see what I'm saying here? Forget about whether or not you think Steve is a good guy or Chad's a good guy. Is this the guy who's going to face the Democrat machine, both on the candidate stage and in Sacramento, if he wins, is this the guy who's going to do it? He just said Steve was right. He just said Steve was right. He just said that. Yes, I did say. that the 10 million people who crossed our borders in the last four years came here legally. He said, they're not legal now for some reason, but they did come over legally at the time. Now I know what his reasoning is, cause I watched Chad and I've heard all of his explanations about this and his reasoning is that the Biden administration let them over and that means they're legal. Can we work with that? That's probably what did Trump in. Can you work with a candidate who says that? Well, you know, they came over, but it wasn't their fault. Biden let them in. So they're here legally now. Let's just absorb them. This is not what we want. We want them gone. And that's the point. The fact that Chad doesn't understand that and he keeps talking in circles around it. I don't understand how his base doesn't see it. Continue. speaker-1: path to citizenship for people who are here. speaker-0: No. Rude. Rude. speaker-1: What an outrageous, what an outrageous and offensive insult that Chad just made to every legal immigrant in this state and in this country. I came here legally. have a pathway to citizenship in this country. It's called legal immigration. I just took it. Here's what Chad said on November the 22nd last year. speaker-0: Right here, Scott. You'll notice, Chad, how antsy Chad is, and you probably didn't notice, but I like to pay attention to body language. And Chad's got the antsy, anxious body language and he's tight, he's closed, and he's reacting. His body is reacting to everything Steve is saying. And that is not, we can't have that guy in Sacramento. We can't. There's gonna be a lot of craziness up there. We can't have that guy. But then for him to say in a state like California, Where a lot of us here came from other countries. A lot of us came here legally from other countries, a state like California, trying to compare Steve's path to citizenship, which is also the same one I took as a Canadian many years ago when I was 18 years old, a little different, I guess, because I have an American parent. But nonetheless, we both went through the legal machinations to get here, to be here, to call ourselves American. to compare that to what Steve is and ostensibly what he's talking about, which is illegal immigration, which he just spent all that time saying, I'm not for this. I didn't do this. And then says this, that is very rude. Do you see what I mean? Steve didn't go negative first, Chad did. Y'all just didn't see it. Y'all just didn't see it. Cause Chad doesn't do social media very well. You gotta be sitting, you gotta be sitting in place. You gotta be sitting in these events like I am. Cause I have a job to do. All right, keep going. speaker-1: aiming to the country legally or illegally is irrelevant at this point because we allowed it to happen. February the 20th this year, we absolutely must have immigration into the country. It has to be controlled. We agree about that. And it has to be expanded significantly. I don't agree with that. In California, we rely on it. We depend on guest workers and they're being cut back. We have to come up with a solution. I don't know if it's amnesty, but there should be consequences. February the 6th, 2025. Let me make this perfectly clear. The Riverside County Sheriff's Office and your deputies have not, are not, and will not engage in any type of immigration enforcement. Chad, if you can't tell the truth about your own words, how can we trust you on anything you say? I think you've just proven my point. I told you exactly what I said in the context and you being a lifelong political strategist, that's all you've ever been. I'm not quite sure where the small business is other than CrowdPak, but being a lifelong political strategist, you're taking these individual words and sentences. If you were trying to make, I don't care. I don't care if they're my words, your words or you raise money for Hillary Clinton. words are that you're further left than Bernie Sanders. speaker-0: He said, I don't care. He said, I don't care. And then he brought up a bunch of dumb vague quotes from Steve, which are literally meaningless, even if you do take them out of context, literally meaningless. But he just said, I don't care. He said, I don't care. But he did, he did say those words. Steve read the words to him. And what does it, and he said, you're taking them out of context. But here's the other thing. See, I did go back, Chad. I did go back and watch that whole long form video. You're so proud of yourself for doing long form interviews, but you don't do anything to get those interviews to the people. You know, whatever. A long form interview is useless, Chad, if no one sees it. It's not like you're going, I'm freaking Joe Rogan. Give me a break. But you know, that he said, okay, so I went back and I watched the video and you know what? He was squirming. don't think he wanted to say that, to be honest. I don't think he wanted to say it. I don't know if Chad really believes this, but I do think that he feels like this is how he has to talk to get that coveted illegal alien vote that we know drives a lot of votes in this country, or at least the illegal sympathetic vote. So yeah, he was massaging his language there. speaker-1: you speaker-0: He was trying to make a point in a way that wouldn't be offensive to the particular listeners of that particular podcast. Steve is absolutely right. If you can't depend on a man to tell the truth, if you can't depend on a man to say exactly what he thinks and then own his words, how can you depend on him to stand up to the Democrat ⁓ bureaucratic complex in Sacramento? Steve is absolutely right here. Chad should be embarrassed. Steve pulled the receipts right out of his pocket and Chad was not prepared. He was not prepared at all. He is not prepared. Keep going. speaker-1: Your words are that you want reparations your words we can go on and on and on Steve Those are all your words in entirety. You're taking mine in splicing. This is this is real It's everything and what I want you to do is go research it because if you can you watch well I want you to sit through the whole hour and a half But it's it's actually great stuff if you're just gonna take a ⁓ quote from it I did one sentence of five seconds You're not gonna get anything out of the context of the entire thing our immigration system is broken I am completely against what we have if you think it's broken. I mean you're not paying attention to what we have What a pathway to citizenship here legally, here legally that it's been 20 years and they still can't get approved. So one of them is 15 and he's completely terrified now because they're saying they're going to deport him. He's got two kids. He's been here 15 years and he still can't get approved. So absolutely we have to fix this pathway to citizenship. We have to have it to where they can get it done. And that exactly what I said is that we absolutely must have a pathway to citizenship for people who are here trying to get through the system instead of it taking 10, 20 and sometimes years. speaker-0: needed. speaker-1: common sense. speaker-0: And I want again to point out, know you're hearing the crowd go wild, but they are in Riverside County. This is his shopping grounds. you know, another, to me, that's another notch in Steve's belt. He went into enemy territory and did not flinch and he didn't quit and he didn't, you know, flake. So I think that says something about him. then, you know, this is, Chad is saying, well, we, it's taking kind of, listen, no one knows better than me. I know better than Chad, how long it takes. I, definitely Steve does too. And I had an American father and it's still, it's a very deeply complicated and ridiculous process. He's not wrong about that, but why? Could it be that our immigration system is so backlogged with illegal cases that the legal cases are hard to get through? You know? Again, the problem to stop here, the thing we can stop right now immediately that will result in immediate relief is to end illegal immigration and send every single person who is illegal here home. And that's an 80-20 issue. Chad is still spinning and he's spinning so hard his body can't sit still. This is not a man who is going to perform well on a general election stage. Keep going. speaker-1: Okay, look, so we are at the point where everybody is even in terms of time. We've been very aggressive about watching time and we are also eight minutes over. What I'm going to ask everybody to do right now is take two minutes each. Keep it to two minutes. speaker-0: All right, you can stop it there. And let's come back. All right. That's, I suggest you go and watch the whole debate. Thank you to the Lincoln club of Coachella Valley for hosting that. ⁓ we needed it. Thank you to Rick Grinnell for being the moderator. thought you were a very good moderator, sir. We, we needed that. I don't think that it, well, I don't know if it changed your mind. ⁓ you know, drop it in the comments. Let me know in the comments if your mind was changed. think the people in the commenter section, think. You know, I was, I was trying to read along with the comments and pretty much everyone was already Chad's chat had a big crew in the comment section and I didn't see anybody who was like, wow, I, I never really heard Hilton say that. And now I don't like him. I didn't see any of that. I didn't see any of that on Chad's or Chad's side as well. So I don't know if we can go by the comment section. ⁓ So we'll have to see, we'll have, but I feel like we can go by Trump's endorsement. I think that's what Trump was waiting for. Cause immigration is the biggest issue. That is the biggest issue because it's informing everything else. The fraud is because of our immigration system. The crime is because of our immigration system. ⁓ The lack of medical care or difficulty in medical care, that's because of our immigration system. The traffic is because of our immigration system, right? Your crowded schools are because of our immigration system. weird guys like Mamdani getting voted in for some reason and to the capitalist capital of America, of the world, that's immigration. That's illegal. I that's a result of illegal immigration. So the illegal immigration issue is top of mind for everybody, particularly in California. So I do believe that Trump was waiting to see who was gonna come down the hardest on that because that's the person he needs to work with and for. And as far as I'm concerned, all Chad did was make it look like he could be convinced otherwise if someone made a good enough argument to him. He could be convinced to kneel for BLM. And I'm sorry, my dear friends. I'm sorry. I know that you're saying he was kneeling to pray, but I have to assume that you assume that because you did not watch the video with sound. Watch the video from beginning to end with sound. I will tell you, as a black woman, I was deeply uncomfortable with what Chad did, deeply. Because what I saw him was kneeling to the mob. I saw him kneeling in front of that black man with ⁓ a bullhorn in his hand who was basically screaming at him to oppress himself. to be down with the cause. And that's what he did. And when he knelt crotch level, I asked my husband, I was like, what does that look like to you? And he was like, I would never kneel like that in front of a man. that means something. That visual means something. But again, if you want to say, Kira, you're being unfair, he was praying, I just say go watch the video with the sound on and pretend it's not Chad. Pretended Steve. Look, I know people get emotional these times. This is why I'm not coming down too hard on y'all. And my friends were chat supporters and they're really upset with me because I'm supporting Steve and I'm being negative about Chad as if, as if we could get through, let's pretend Steve and Chad get through. Do you think they're not going to go negative on each other? Like this is politics. This is how it is. But see, I'm okay with it because at the end of the day, we're all going to be one big happy family because we have to be. At the end of the day, that's what it's going to be. We're going to get behind one guy one way. or the other, all right? And by the time the next gubernatorial election comes around, we won't even remember these arguments that we're having. Some of y'all are laying down these arguments like they're gonna decide the rest of your life. And we're not even gonna remember who was in this gubernatorial race in four to eight years. It'll be like John Carrier, Howard Dean, you know, there'll be names that... that sort of trigger a vague memory, but we're not going to be holding each other accountable for all of this right now. So some of y'all out there need to calm down. All right. We're going to come through primary season and we're all going to be one big happy family. So don't take it too seriously, but take it seriously enough to pay attention. You don't need to be throwing your fellow Republicans overboard because they're not thinking as clearly as you want them to be on this issue or vice versa. think the Trump endorsement is a good thing because it adds distinction. And like I said, the math is there. If every person who voted for Trump voted for Hilton, he wins in a landslide. And that's not even including the people who are just so sick of the Democrat BS that they have no other choice than to cross the aisle just to make a protest vote. And there's a lot of them out there, a lot of them out there. I don't think I've never thought anybody should run from the Trump endorsement ever. do not think so unless you don't like Trump personally. If you don't like Trump personally, don't take it. I get that and tell people that. But part of why I think may helped Trump to win is that he made a distinction. He made it clear and he didn't apologize. He didn't couch his words. And that was attractive to Californians. Even the ones who didn't agree with him, that was attractive to Americans. Even the ones who didn't agree with him. That's how I ran my school board race. And again, yes, I lost. you can say, well, see, Kira, you lost because you were too. And the woman who won didn't. The conservative woman who came behind me and ran the next year, the next race and won. didn't, she wasn't taking those hard line stances. She wasn't being controversial. She wasn't out there screaming at the top of her lungs about the tampons in the boys bathrooms and boys in the girls bathrooms. She didn't do any of that and she won. So you can, but I don't think I lost. actually, I honestly do not think I lost. I think I won. And my, not my opponent, my success successor, if you wouldn't, she was my successful successor. Successor the successful woman the one who won successfully she when I talked to her she was like I don't know it's so weird here I don't know. It's like I don't have half the pushback you had in your race. I'm almost wondering like I'm scared Why are they not they're so quiet like they show up at a couple of events But they're not doing what they did to you like they followed me around They were still following me around when she was running the unions were right. That's because I think it's because I was very clear and very bold about what I was gonna do is step number one, fire all the lawyers. Step number two, audit the school district. Step number three, fire the superintendent. I was very clear. People want clarity, but guess what? Guess what? And that hurt. Some of you have heard my story of that loss I took, cause I felt like I lost for my kids, cause that's why I ran was for my kids. So when I lost, I took it really hard, but I'm so glad I stood on the truth and did what I knew was right. Cause what I was saying then is the same thing all y'all are saying right now. All y'all are saying it. You're running on it. Sonia Shaw came to our central committee meeting last month. And she gave this rousing speech about the trans cult in our schools. And people were standing up cheering the very people, some of the very people who told me to be quiet, who told me that I was being too loud about these crazy issues in 2022. Stand on the truth. Even when it's unpopular, but I don't even think the truth is unpopular anymore. I think it's popular. Okay. I want, before we go, I know we're running a little long, but Scott, before we go, let's talk about Trump's Eastern message. ⁓ number five, clip five, ⁓ he sent out an Easter message yesterday and people were a bit upset about it. See this come up. Here we go. Trump's Easter message. He says Tuesday, he's talking about Iran, Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day all wrapped up in one in Iran. There will be nothing like it. Multiple explanation. Open the F-ing straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just watch. Praise me to Allah, President Donald J. Trump. And a lot of people took issue with that. mean, a lot of people on our side for a couple of different reasons, they didn't like the vulgarity of it. They thought it was kind of mean and kind of weird on Easter to talk about going to kill people on Easter. ⁓ And I responded that, look, I think it's fine. It's a perfectly fine Eastery message to me. ⁓ I don't really even care about the language at this point because... These are crazy times and Trump is pissed because this is a global caliphate against the American people. I do want my president to be pissed about that. Don't you? Don't you? So he's upset. Now people felt like, ⁓ on Easter, one of two things. Number one, they felt like he shouldn't be talking like that. I shouldn't be talking about killing people on Easter. I would like to remind everybody that Jesus came the first time to save, but he's coming back the second time to kill. I'll repeat, Jesus came the first time to save, he came in as a lamb, the sacrificial lamb. Second time he's coming in as a lion, he's coming to kill and destroy, he's coming to kill people. That's why that's the separation between Jews and Christians, right? Jews, that has always been their vision of the Messiah, the warrior. So for Jesus to come in as a man who ended up being crucified, which was very shameful, you know, who ended up being quote, killed, ⁓ that didn't jive with their version of the Messiah. They see the second Messiah. They see what we see as the second Messiah, which is the warrior who's going to come in to kill people and bring justice and slit throats. That's part of Jesus too, everybody. the left got y'all spinning around thinking like Jesus is some kind of hippie in sandals. He is not. He is a lion. He is Aslan and Aslan is on the move and you don't, lions can be very adorable and tender and seem soft looking. And when you go to try to pet them, they'll tear your face off. Don't think Jesus can't tear some faces off. He's coming to do that too. And it's the other part that Trump said. Praise be to Allah. People are like, why is he praising Allah? If you think that Trump was really praising Allah, give me a break. He was telling them that their God is nobody. Their God is nobody compared to ours. And their might is nothing compared to ours. That's what he was saying. You want to praise your fake God, your dead God? Go ahead, we're still going to kill you. So I didn't have a problem with the Easter message. I know who Trump is and I've never asked for him to be anyone else. And I've never been surprised when it turns out he's not anyone else. I've never once been surprised. You have to be pretty naive and shallow to think you're going to get a different version of Trump at some point. You haven't been paying attention. It was perfectly fine. There are enemies and they're not good people. They're not just people who just think a little differently. They're evil people. Not the people of Iran, but the government and the people who would, who would choke global prosperity and the global economy for a losing battle. We are going to win. We are winning. They're just... Buying time. The enemy is always buying time. That's all the enemy is ever doing. Because as we celebrated this past weekend, the victory is already here. The victory has already become. Christians believe this, that the victory has already come already, but not yet. It's here, but we haven't seen the linear end. Time is not linear, I don't believe, but in our present day, we haven't seen the linear yet. Already, but not yet. The victory is here. So Trump is talking like a victor. These people are just buying time and Trump is saying, no, what you do is evil. What you do to your own people is evil. What you try to do to other people is evil. Your God is evil and what you believe is evil. And if you don't get out of our way, we're going to kill you. Happy Easter. Praise be to Jesus. Flipping tables is an option too. We've watered down, we've neutered Jesus. And that version of Jesus was like good for a while, good for the hippies. It was good for me. That's the movement I came in on as a teenager, that the tail end of that Jesus movement, the hippie movement has its place because humans are over-correcting. And we made Jesus into this very stern. and got into this very stern, uncaring, distant figure. And so that was the clap back to that. But now we've gone way overboard and we've forgotten that God, you know. The sword is part of the weaponry of the faith too. All right. Now we really have to go. So tell me what you think.

I do that with my good friend, Amelia Hamilton, and we love cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies. So we do Christmas all year round. Cause why not? Like really, why not? We're grownups so we can do whatever we want. No politics at all. Not even sneaky stuff. In fact, if I get a little too saucy, Amelia will pull me right back. Like we barely do negative stuff. Cause in Christmas land, which is what we call the universe of cheesy Christmas movies and Christmas land, are no negative feelings. ⁓ we just have a good time. So journey to Christmas land. We're on sub stack acts, all those good places. ⁓ I'm Kira Davis. I will see you tomorrow right here on the Orange Report with Kira Davis.
