Primary Results and What Now to Win?

Release Date: May 23, 2026

Duration: 47:55

Host: Mark Anderson

Guests: Dr. Jerome Corsi and Ed Diehl, Oregon governor candidate

About This Episode

On Show 16-21, we start out by breaking down the high-stakes primary results across six states: Pennsylvania, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Idaho, and of course Oregon.First, national political analyst Dr. Jerome Corsi joins us to dissect the Republican landscape heading into the midterms. What does a 37-0 endorsement record say about the party’s current leadership? Plus, we dive into the upcoming Texas Senate runoff, the legal battles surrounding Oregon’s redistricting maps, and recent shocking claims regarding the 2020 election evidence file. And what about the oft-promised evidence of fraud in the 2020 election? Now acting AG Todd Blanche says they have it. Okay. So do they have it or not?

Then, we pivot to local ground zero with Ed Diehl, fresh off his second-place finish in the Oregon gubernatorial primary. Ed pulls back the curtain on his race to discuss what went wrong on election night, the impact of shadow campaigns and funding, whether Oregon should switch to a runoff model, and how the ORP handles candidate qualifications.

Show Notes

00:00 – Primary night recap – elections in six states, including Oregon. Thomas Massie is out — is he seriously considering a run for president and is anyone taking him seriously. Mitch already retired. His MAGA replacement won yugely. Is there still a lane for the establishment Republicans.
8:48 – Todd Blanche announced on Fox Business they have the evidence of 2020 voter fraud. So release it already.
16:57 – The impact of SCOTUS allowing congressional districts to be redrawn to eliminate race-based districts. What kind of impact that will really have. Can any racist redistricting survive?
24:13 – Oregon’s Republican primary race for governor with Ed Diehl. He was building momentum and might have won if the election had gone on another two weeks. Dissecting what happened.
31:22 – About those shadow campaigns and the fake Dudley poll… Fixing Oregon’s primary system. What can Republicans do – and what about adding a runoff election?
39:56 – The incredible success of the No Gas Tax referendum. New ballot initiatives. What next to win in November?

Transcript

Opener with Jerome Corsi:

It was primary night in six states Tuesday — Pennsylvania, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Idaho, and Oregon — and if you were watching the results come in, you saw something that hasn’t happened much in American political history: a sitting president going a perfect thirty-seven and zero in a single primary night. Not a lame duck. Not a party looking for a new direction. A party that has consolidated around one man and his agenda. If only people elected to congress and the senate would also consolidate around President Trump and his agenda we could actually get things done.

Dr. Jerome Corsi has a Harvard PhD in political science, he’s written about 30-some books, including multiple NYT bestsellers. He is the founder & CEO of CorsiNation.com. And be sure to go to his election integrity website, Gods Five Stones dot com. Dr Corsi it is always great to talk to you.

Opener with Ed Diehl:

Whenever elections come and go I always can’t help but think of that quote from Plato’s famous work, The Republic written some 350 years before Christ. He cites Socrates: “One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.”

Socrates argues that truly wise and virtuous individuals do not seek power for personal gain. Instead, they only accept leadership roles out of necessity—fearing that if they don’t, they will be ruled by people worse than themselves. The “penalty” is a natural consequence of civic withdrawal: the vacuum of responsible leadership is filled by those driven by ambition, rhetoric, or self-interest rather than wisdom. Or what’s best for the people who elect them.

Oregon’s Future: Forest Mismanagement and Election Integrity

Release Date: May 16, 2026

Duration: 47:55

Host: Mark Anderson

Guests: Dr. Bob Zybach, forester, National Wildfire Alliance and Eric Lee, senior attorney for Judicial Watch’s Election Integrity Team

About This Episode

On Show 16-20, this week, we dive deep into two major fights for Oregon’s future: the mismanagement of our timber landscape and the critical battle over the integrity of our voter rolls.

First, we sit down with Dr. Bob Zybach, who is running for Lane County Commissioner. For decades, Zybach has documented the federal failures that have turned Oregon’s lush forests into tinderboxes. We discuss the real cost of federal forest mismanagement, the status of the National Wildfire Alliance’s work with the Trump administration, and the startling truth about the billions spent on the spotted owl recovery. If you live in Lane County or care about our O&C lands, you need to hear what Zybach says every voter must understand before the May 19th election.

Then, Eric Lee, Senior Attorney for Judicial Watch, joins us to sound the alarm on election integrity. Following a landmark legal victory and settlement against the state of Oregon over its 800,000 inactive voters, Lee breaks down what it takes to actually clean the rolls. And he tells us what’s actually in the settlement agreement that will hold Oregon accountable. We’ll discuss how President Trump’s recent Executive Order and the SAVE Act impact mail-in voting vulnerabilities.

Tune in to hear how demanding accountability for our forests and security at the ballot box will safeguard a promising future for Oregon.

Transcript

(Opener with Bob Zybach) Oregon was once one of the most productive timber states in the nation — and in many ways it still could be. In fact Oregon was the top or “most” in a lot of thing. Forests, timber, high tech. education, etc. The forests are still there. The growing capacity is still there.

The problem is the policy. Oregon keeps saying it wants jobs — but then does nothing to take advantage of the free-money that grows in our forests at a rate of 9 billion board feet per year.

And few people in Oregon have watched that decline as closely, or fought it as long, as our next guest. Dr. Bob Zybach is a forester whose academic focus is catastrophic wildfire in Oregon, and he’s been working with the National Wildfire Alliance to push back.

(Opener with Eric Lee) Our second guest today is a man who has been working to do something Oregon’s Secretary of State refused to do: clean up Oregon’s voter rolls. Which is always weird when govt which creates the laws — doesn’t follow their own laws.

Eric Lee is a senior attorney with Judicial Watch’s election integrity team. Eric, welcome back to I Spy Radio. … So when we last talked, Judicial Watch had a lawsuit pending against Oregon to force them to remove 800,000 inactive registrations from the voter rolls…

Democrats and their policies are already burning down Oregon's economy. But now they're about to throwing gasoline on it with even more stupid decisions. The house is on fire. But this is fine.

Exposing Oregon Democrats’ Damage | The Problem Lovers

Release Date: February 28, 2026

Duration: 47:55

Host: Mark Anderson

Guests: Ed Diehl (Oregon state representative and gubernatorial candidate)

About This Episode

On Show 16-09, Oregon’s legislature has had some intense hearings along with a couple of dramatic walk outs. But then walk-back-ins. What? To give insights into what’s been happening, we welcome back Representative Ed Diehl, who’s also running for Oregon’s Governor. We get updates on what’s going on with SB 1599—the Democrat’s continuing fight against Democracy to move the No the Gas Tax ballot initiative from November to May — and the plans of what will happen if Governor Kotek signs it. It’s just more of Oregon Democrats hating democracy and destroying Oregon.

Show Notes

00:00 – Jumping right in — Oregon’s horrid economy, Portland in a doom loop, no help on the horizon. “Is Oregon’s economy bad enough to swing an election?” article and just how badly Oregon democrats have failed Oregon.
08:12 – A business owner is sick of his West Coast blue state and is wants to relocate his company — and its 1,000 employees. The shocking details of the economic hit a state like Oregon would take on just three aspects: wages, state taxes, and housing. And the incredible benefit to employees by just stepping across state lines.
16:44 – Trump and Republicans just gave Americans a bunch of tax breaks. No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, etc. But also big cuts and incentives to businesses. Except not in Oregon. Democrats are lusting for money. It will steal $300 million from Oregon businesses. But they already have plans to spend twice that. No wonder Kotek’s own “prosperity council” asks, “What the heck are you doing…?”
25:17 – Democrats hate democracy so much they are ignoring 250,000+ signatures and overwhelming opposition in public testimony (more than 95%!) and are trying to move the No Gas Tax referendum from the November’s general election to the May 2026 primary. The status of SB 1599, the bill to move it, the illegality of doing so, and how Ed plans to fight it.
33:42 – Oregon has a national reputation for some pretty crazy ideas. Initiative Petition 28 (IP 28) may just top them all. With more than 95,000 signatures already, it is well on its way to reach the 117,000 needed to qualify for the ballot. Are Democrats suddenly Islamaphobes? One of the clearest examples yet of Oregon as the Wuhan Lab of leftist policies. They experiment on it here, develop gain of function, and then infect other states.
39:32 – The gun bill that would create a two-tiered system of gun ownership. If you haven’t bought a gun yet in Oregon, you might not be able to if this passes. Don’t miss the closer!

Transcript

There’s a lot to talk about today and some of these questions are gonna take a bit of a setup so I’m going to forgo my normal opener and let’s get right to it.

I’d like to welcome back Representative Ed Diehl, from house district 17 E Marion County and parts of northern Linn County. And in case you’ve been hiding under a rock he’s also running for governor. Ed welcome back — with so much going on it’s really great to talk to you and we appreciate you taking the time in what I know is a very hectic week.

On today’s show we want to talk about the Democrats decoupling Oregon businesses from federal tax breaks in Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, SB 1599 and the walkout, Oregon’s economy IP 28 and if we can get to it the gun bill especially Jason Kropf’s behavior around that.

Because I think it will help people put things into context and make more sense of what the Democrats are doing around decoupling and the no gas tax referendum and the damage those will cause to an already damaged system

Mark Hester worked for 20 years at The Oregonian but is now a contributor to Oregon roundup. He has a really good article, titled “Is Oregon’s economy bad enough to swing an election?”

How bad is Oregon’s economy” he asks. It should be the number one question voters ask before this year’s statewide elections.

He says by just about any measure organ is nearing the pain threshold for anyone who is not a public employee. Look at Oregon’s trajectory relative to other states

Oregon’s December unemployment rate a 5.2% was better than only two states New Jersey and California. We’re the third worst.

Broader employment statistics are even more alarming. Portland ranked fourth worst among metro areas for job losses in 2025 with a decline of 8800

Oregon business bankruptcies rose 25% in 2025 — four times faster than the national average.

Companies that aren’t filing bankruptcy are struggling. Intel and Nike used to power Oregon’s economy but both are struggling. And there are no new companies on the horizon to replace them as the premiere attractions to shore up Oregon’s economy.

Over 1/3 of offices in Portland urban area were vacant last year. Portland is ranked the second worst commercial real estate market in the nation. Migration is stagnant at best. Portland has become unattractive to newcomers at exactly the time it needs them most.

After hearing what I just read… you’re running for governor — are you sure you want the job? Got to be daunting just to hear just how bad it is.

Why Republicans Winning Oregon Elections Just Got More Likely

Release Date: January 24, 2026

Duration: 47:55

Host: Mark Anderson

Guests: Rep. Ed Diehl, candidate for Oregon governor, and Eric Lee, senior attorney on Judicial Watch’s election integrity team

About This Episode

Election integrity laws are about to change — for the good. The timing could not be better. Right when a Republican candidate with a proven ability to draw independents and Democrats decided to run for Oregon’s governor. And at a time Oregon Democrats are doing their best to sabotage their own chances by punishing Oregonian to cling to power. Even more, the federal lawsuits to restore trust in our elections haven’t even really gotten started.

Show Notes

00:00 – Representative Ed Diehl announces his run for Oregon governor — what happened to change him from a no to a yes?
09:18 – The highly successful No Gas Tax referendum drew support from all political parties. So how to convert support for that issue into support for him as a governor candidate for Oregon?
16:31 – Oregon Democrats are committing political suicide more on how they are punishing Oregon businesses and the Oregonians who work at them.
24:39 – Eric Lee, senior attorney on Judicial Watch’s election integrity team discusses last week’s SCOTUS ruling and how Bost v. Illinois was so huge for election integrity. Why the rules have now changed.
31:45 – The avalanche of election integrity lawsuits about to come. Judicial Watch sued Oregon to clean up the voter rolls; Oregon surprised court watchers by suddenly announcing they would remove 800,000 inactive voters—about 20–25% of registered voters.
39:09 – Did Oregon’s Secretary of State just blab a little too much and admit Oregon is at fault? That 800,00? That’s just the start. Discovery is underway right now. And did the Secretary of State also open the door to another Judicial Watch lawsuit by violating another federal law?

Transcript

(Opener) There’s a buzz phrase in government that you probably heard. Evidence based. And they use that buzz phrase because what they really want is for you not to question their policies.

Evidence based refers, allegedly, making government policy and spending decisions based on evidence — like data and research (which govt pays someone to do), and so-called “proven results” rather than on ideology, intuition, or anecdote.

Now just to easily disprove the notion of evidence based — when’s the last time democrats push through government policy that supported (or, more to the point, funded) any ideology on the right.

There is overwhelming evidence for conservative, pro-growth economic policies — like lowering taxes and cutting government spending is good for economies and good for people. Instead, Democrats want to raise taxes and increase government spending — the exact opposite of what the evidence shows.

Instead, it’s about things like climate change, which they plan to fix through carbon credits, which fund Democrats. Or Green energy (which isn’t green — and funds Democrats). Or funding the homeless-industrial complex of non-profits, which happen to be Democrats.

Well, the real evidence is in. And it’s fraud and its government incompetence. And we’d planned to talk an awful lot about fraud on today’s show and then, well… the best-laid plans of mice and men, or politicians and radio hosts, sometimes go awry.

Because the last time we talked to representative Ed Diehl back in December, we wanted to get him on our calendar to continue our discussion about fraud, and to get some insights into legislative days at the capital, and what devious schemes those Democrats are up to now. So we threw around some dates and settled on today—we’re talking Wednesday afternoon, January 21st—and we were all set to continue that discussion but then a little something came up.

And I don’t know how we don’t start off with this huge news, even though this show won’t air until the weekend after the big reveal. So, Ed welcome back, and for those who don’t already know by now go ahead and tell ‘em.

16-04 Why Republicans Winning Oregon Elections Just Got More Likely

By Dr Mark | January 24, 2026 | Comments 1 comment

Show 16-04 Summary: This week, it’s Oregon’s all important 2026 elections — and why things will change. We start with Representative Ed Diehl (HD17) to talk about his decision to run for Oregon’s governor. Can he win? Find out why we certainly think he will not only win the primary, he will win the general. But can he really win in a state known for its lack of election integrity? Including having what Judicial Watch called “the dirtiest voter rolls in the nation.” We talk with Judicial Watch’s senior attorney, Eric Lee, about their lawsuit — and why last week’s SCOTUS ruling opens the door to fundamentally changing elections. Including right here in Oregon.

This Week – Republicans Winning Oregon’s Elections

When we last talked to Ed Diehl at the end of December, we scheduled this week to continue our discussion on fraud in Oregon (hold our beer, Minnesota) and legislative days in Salem. But the night before our interview on Wednesday, news broke he was going to run for Oregon governor.

How do we not talk about that? We have been urging Ed to run for governor for at least a couple of years. We talk about his race, what changed his mind, and his competition—both Republican and Democrat. Plus, we do get a chance to talk about fraud, including what he will do about it as governor.

Plus, we talk about that all-important No Gas tax petition drive that will not only help Ed Diehl win Oregon’s 2026 governor’s race, but help sink Democrats. Democrats might not lose their majorities in the house or senate—although they just might find themselves in the minority after November—hey will definitely lose their super majorities in both chambers.

Want to find out more about Ed Diehl, candidate for Oregon governor? Head to Ed’s website. Remember: deep pocket donors wait to see how many smaller donors are sending in money. They need to see that interest. It’s their way of judging a candidate’s chances before committing bigger money.

Then we welcome back Eric Lee, senior attorney on Judicial Watch’s election integrity team, to discuss their lawsuit against Oregon to force them to clean up their voter rolls. And there was a major admission on Oregon’s part about its dirty rolls just last week. Whoops.

But before we get there, we get Eric’s take on last week’s SCOTUS ruling in Bost v. Illinois Board of Elections. On the surface, it was about whether a candidate had standing. But dig a little (which the leftstream media did its best not to do) and it is much. much bigger. How much bigger? Enough that it could fundamentally change elections. And people might just trust them again.

15-44 How to Win (and NOT to Win) Oregon

Show 15-44 Summary: .When it comes to Republicans’ chances in Oregon for statewide races, they don’t need Democrats to defeat them. Because Republicans can, and all too often are, their own worst enemies. After Christine Drazan’s announcement this week that she is officially running once again for governor, there is already a slew of social media posts by Republicans saying they will never vote for her. Which is a great way not to win. So how do Republicans win? We talk with a long-time Republican consultant and a a recent “outsider” Oregon political activist to get their thoughts.

Air Dates: November 1st & 2nd, 2025 | Guests: Greg Leo & Chuck Wiese

This Week – Can Oregon Republicans Not Kill Their Chances?

Republicans can save Oregon but they have to save each other first. And that means stop savaging each other in the primaries.

Primaries are different than general elections. In general elections, you are voting for who wins. In primaries, you are voting for who competes. You are selecting your team while the other parties select their team.

But all too often, Republicans—more so than the sheep-like Democrats who will vote for anyone (or anything) with a “D” in front of their name—savage and tear down the other Republican candidates in favor of their choice. They announce they will never vote for “the other guy” that their Republican teammates chose. And proceed to savage the other candidates, tearing them down. And inadvertently planting seeds why no one should vote for them in the general.

Is it more important to win the election? Or that your candidate wins?

Don’t discourage. Encourage.

Republican “Insider” and “Outsider” Views

Christine Drazan officially entered the race for Oregon’s governor this week. (Which as no surprise. No serious person thought she wouldn’t.) Up until then, Danielle Bethell, a Marion County Commissioner, was the only legitimate candidate. But what immediately obvious was the hateful comments — not by Democrats. But by Republicans.

Danielle Bethell’s campaign website – daniellebethellforgovernor.com
Christine Drazan’s campaign website – christinefororegon.com

We talk first to Greg Leo, a long-time political communications expert who got his start in the Reagan White House. He also spent a lot of time working within and for in the Oregon Republican Party as their communications director. Now, he’s a political consultant. We get his take on Christine Drazan entering the race, how to stop Republicans from spoiling their fellow Republicans’ chances, and what Republicans can do to actual win. That means wooing Democrats and non-affiliated voters. Could an actual conservative Republican do that?

Then we talk with Chuck Wiese, a conservative Republican. But someone who is not involved in Republican party politics. But Chuck is becoming more and more of a political activists, having supported and been part of multiple lawsuits against Oregon, focusing especially on election integrity.

We know Chuck is no fan of Drazan, base don how she ran last time. To get his vote, what does she have to do different this time? How can she prove herself to him—one of her biggest doubters? And can Republicans put aside their differences and preferences to focus on winning the general election?

Because Oregon really and literally cannot afford another Democrat governor.

Show 15-39 Summary: It’s a shocking reality that the political Left sees violence and murder as acceptable response to speech they disagree with. The rise in far-left political violence will only get worse. This week, we reach out to a psychologist to better understand how people have been brainwashed by violent Antifa offshoot groups. But conservatives. especially Christians, sitting quietly and not getting involved is no longer an option. We talk with a trainer who helps engage conservatives to impact their communities and society.

This Week –Far-Left Political Violence: We’re Not at War, But We Are

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, many people are still shocked at how the Land of Free Speech got to the point where someone was murdered for his speech. Too many people had no idea just how dangerous Antifa really was. And how their further-left spinoffs are actively training their members to kill.

How did we get here?

That’s easy. The Right has been too tolerant. And too silent. Well, it’s time for the Right and Middle to rise up. And to stop being silent.

A Psychologist on the Left’s Manipulation and Violence

For people familiar with Far-Left, Marxist ideology, it is no surprise the Left lies, manipulates, and exploits society’s most vulnerable. But unlike years past, they have first isolated confused children, convinced them to hate who they really because they are “in the wrong body.” And then manipulate them to channel their hate and anger toward society and authority.

But it’s not just youth. The Left uses clever marketing and the media to confuse vulnerable seniors into thinking policies that are actually good for seniors are somehow bad for them. Which is why the largest demographic that hates Trump are American seniors. Democrats who shriek “disinformation” misinform seniors about Trump’s tariffs, no tax on social security, and more. And convince them Trump is cutting Medicare. He’s not. He’s removing people on Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security who legally should not be getting it. And by removing them, there is more money for those who deserve it.

Tune in to hear psychologist Dr. Angela Plowhead examine the Left’s manipulation. It is truly dangerous. And will lead to more violence and killing. But also hear her solutions to reach out to manipulated seniors and break through their mental blocks.

Keep an eye on Angela. She is running for office in Oregon’s Senate District 10. Her campaign site is Angela4Oregon.com.

Oregon desperately needs common-sense conservatives like Angela Plowhead in office. Help her get there with a donation.

Tired of sitting quietly while the Left rampages? You should be. Like any abuser, silence emboldens the Far Left. There are some trainings coming up in the Willamette Valley for conservatives and Christians to learn how to engage and impact their communities. We talk with Scott Allen, the president of the Disciple Nations Alliance who will be leading the training along with Tim Throckmorton, the National Director for Church Engagement & Community Impact for the Family Research Council.

The Far-Left sees your silence about their ideology as permission. And that can and does lead to violence. We are seeing it. And we need to find ways to stop it.

Scott talks to us about the need to get engaged, to not be silent, and also discusses Marxist ideology. The violence we’re seeing now is Neo-Marxism at its worst. (Is there a good side to Marxism?) This trainings will give conservatives, Christians, church leaders, the knowledge and tools to impact their communities.

To learn more, read the workshop flyer and about the trainers (PDFs)
The trainings will be held October 13th, in NE Portland and October 14th in Salem and Corvallis
The events are free to attend. (Donations gladly accepted!)

It’s time. Time to rise up. Not sure where to start? Getting some knowledge is always a good place to start. As long as you can use it.

Show 15-30 Summary: Finally, the real truth comes out about the Russia Collusion Hoax. Newly declassified documents from Director of Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, confirm what we have been saying. The evidence finally and truly reveals Obama’s deep involvement in the Russia hoax. But what do the documents actually say? Did he actually direct it? Or just some minions under him? We ask Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project, about things to get a reality check. And what now? The word treason is being thrown around. What would it take to get there? And if not treason, what can Obama and his co-conspirators be charged with? Or will democrats once again attack democracy and get away with it?

This Week – Russia Collusion Hoax Exposed

The Russia collusion hoax evidence was declassified. On one level, it’s not new news. We knew the Obama administration, working with the Hillary Clinton campaign, created and entirely false disinformation campaign to smear candidate Donald Trump with “Russia collusion” to steal the 2016 presidential election.That’s been known since Congressman Devin Nunes went to the White House with the evidence he had seen.And that broke the scandal wide open.

Rather than “Russia collusion” it was quite the opposite. At a White House meeting in July 2016, CIA chief, John Brennan shared what the CIA had learned from Russian sources. Hillary Clinton, in an attempt to distract from her email scandal, planned to smear Trump with “Russia collusion.” Obama, Biden, Susan Rice, and the heads of the intelligence committees leaped into action to give credibility to the smear. Despite knowing that it was a political smear and a lie, James Comey launched the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Trump three days after that meeting. And the Russia collusion hoax was born.

If you heard our previous shows on disinformation you know this is how disinformation works. There must be a a grain of truth — meaning a grounding in reality. By opening the investigation. Obama, Comey, and their minions in the intelligence community gave that grain of truth to Hillary’s smear. Without which it never would have worked. Think about it. Who in their right mind would trust anything Hillary had to say.

Learn more about disinformation. Democrats and their Desperate Disinformation Ploy (Disinformation, Part 1) and Disinformation in Action: Recognize it, Fight it (Part II)

But an FBI investigation into Trump-Russia collusion? And judges issuing FISA warrants? And multiple intelligence agencies all working hard to stop the Russians from interfering in our elections? Suddenly, the dynamics change. Maybe Hillary is on to something. Maybe she’s telling the truth. And maybe she’s a hero, trying to save democracy.All that rather than what it really was. A complete lie. And an attack on democratic elections. Led by democrats.

But what does the declassification and release of all this evidence for conspiracy mean in reality? What now? Trump and Gabbard are both throwing around the word “treason.” Does this rise to treason? If so, what then? If not, what does this conspiracy rise to?

Show 15-11 Summary: This week on I Spy Radio, we uncover the explosive next chapter in Election Consequences with Part 2: Clone Voters Exposed. Last week, attorney Peter Ticktin revealed evidence of hundreds of thousands of “clone voters” haunting Florida’s voter rolls. All tied to suspicious mail in ballots in the congressional race in FL-14. Dr. Jerome Corsi joins us to decode the hidden algorithms behind this vote-by-mail fraud. President Trump—longtime ally of both—leads a bold plan involving FBI probes and subpoenas to fix our elections. Tune in for a dive into voter roll tampering and how public support can secure fair, trustworthy outcomes.

This Week – Clone Voters Election Fraud

Last week, things started off with a bang. We welcomed first-time guest, attorney Peter Ticktin—founder of Florida’s Ticktin Law Group —who’s digging into something shady in FL-14. Republican veteran Rocky Rochford’s congressional race raised red flags, and Ticktin’s investigation uncovered evidence of hundreds of thousands of potentially “clone voters.” Duplicate entries lurking in Florida’s voter rolls. This isn’t just a local story; it’s a bombshell with national stakes.

Did you miss last week’s show? You can catch it here.

This week, we’re diving deeper. We welcome back Dr. Jerome Corsi, who’s teamed up with Ticktin to chase the data and unmask the truth behind this voter roll tampering. Hidden algorithms creating fake voters slipped into the system, and a digital fraud so slick it’s built to vanish—until the next election. And it specifically exploits vote by mail.

Clone Voters and the Algorithms that Hide Them

Dr. Corsi pulls back the curtain on how these schemes work, why they’re so tough to spot, and what kind of masterminds it takes to pull them off. Plus, he’s got theories on who might be orchestrating it all.

And here’s the kicker: Corsi and Ticktin are not in this alone. President Trump—longtime ally of both men (Trump and Ticktin went to high school together)—is stepping up and creating the plan to fix this. Tune in to hear more about the multi-pronged plan and what needs to happen.

It’s going to be a monumental effort. And if anyone can do this, President Trump can.

But if this is going to succeed, it’s going to need public support. And support from Congress. Are you on board with—finally!—getting to secure and fair elections? Where we can finally trust the outcomes because the system itself is trustworthy?

In the show notes below, you can find a funding proposal from Dr. Corsi (drafted with Ticktin’s approval) to clean up our elections and restore trust. If you can help, please do so! Because we’re talking FBI involvement, subpoenas, and a no-stone-unturned push to expose the truth—and fix the system for good. To pull this off it will take public exposure. And a lot of it. Be part of the solution!

Tune in to I Spy this week. You’ll wish you had popcorn for this one!

14-47 Oregon’s Elections: A Deeper Shade of Blue. Is Oregon Hopeless and Helpless?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Show 14-47 Summary: In 2024, Republicans won the White House, the House, and the Senate. Other states went red. And in county after county, Trump gained support. Even among practically every demographic group. But while so much of the rest of the country went red, Oregon’s elections went a deeper shade of blue—with super majorities now in the house and senate. Is Oregon destined to be California’s mini-me? Or can Republicans save Oregon from itself? And what is on the way for Oregon with democrats in charge of everything? Brace yourself.

Original Air Dates: November 23rd & 24th, 2024 | Guest: Rep. Ed Diehl

This Week – Oregon’s Elections. What Happened?

While Oregon wasn’t part of it, the rest of the nation voted for a better economy, smaller government, secure borders, free speech, protecting farms, schools that actually teach, and city streets free of crime. Already, Trump’s nominations are causing the Deep State to panic. But he seems committed to keep his promise to downsize and even eliminate agencies.

But not Oregon. For Republicans, Oregon took a disastrous turn as Democrats won all three statewide races (Secretary of State, Treasurer, and Attorney General). And they won a super majority in the state senate and nearly certainly will win a super majority in the house.

After Oregon’s Election, Is there Any Hope Left?

If you remember your Greek mythology, curious Pandora couldn’t resist opening the box and let out sickness, death, and other miseries. That feels like what Oregon just did to itself.

After Oregon’s elections, the prospects of a Democrat super majority in both the state house and senate is a grim reality. Every item on the Democrat wish list of miseries for the state is knocking on the box lid. Demanding to be let out. Taxes and more spending for sure, along with more environmental, “green” energy, and carbon scheme mandates to drive up costs on everything.

But they also have a problem. Biden’s federal cash flow spigot will soon be turned off. No more federal money rolling into Oregon’s coffers to hide the deficit budget problems like PERS’ huge debt that’s causing school districts and county agencies to feel that debt.

So what can Republicans do? Like the only thing left in Pandora’s box, Oregon has hope. That’s what we discuss with our guest, Representative Ed Diehl (HD-17). We take a hard look at Oregon’s election and what Oregonians will be facing. And we discuss the national elections, how other states made big changes, what went right in other states, and why didn’t it go right in Oregon.

See Ed Diehl’s website, EdDiehl.com for more about Ed and news and information. Follow Ed on X (formerly Twitter), @Real_EdDiehl

We also discuss the sole remaining (as of November 21) undecided house seat—Tracy Cramer’s in HD22—from Oregon’s elections. A race that will decide whether democrats get a super majority in Oregon’s house. Also, possible election fraud, and what about Oregon’s voter rolls? And what are we likely to see out of a democrat dual super majority.

And then in a future Part II, Ed will come back—likely after the holidays—to discuss changes and new directions to turn Oregon—yes, Oregon—red.
