Show Summary: Cancel culture is the opposite of freedom. It is an organized attempt to create false images to mislead, dehumanize, and destroy your political opponent. And no better example of that President Trump, the target of the biggest cancel culture effort ever. We discuss cancel culture with someone who is a target of it and look deeper into what happened a year ago January 6th at the Capitol.

This week: Cancel Culture

Cancel culture is a fairly new weapon, most often employed by the political Left, to attack and destroy their opponents. In part, because their own political ideology doesn’t hold up under genuine scrutiny so the best attack is to destroy your opposition.

Cancel culture most often targets shows or public figures to get them removed from the public domain. Removed. Destroyed so only the Left’s viewpoints are allowed to be heard. They also target businesses who are themselves conservatives, or who dare to support or advertise on conservative shows.

God forbid there’s another viewpoint than the Left’s.

It is the opposite of freedom. Because rather than just changing the channel the Left wants to remove what they consider “wrong think”. Imagine being so threatened by people thinking. To the point you have to destroy people who don’t think like you.

A Cancel Culture Target: Rob Taylor

Fellow radio host, Rob Taylor, whose show airs on one of the stations that also airs I Spy Radio, has ticked off the Left to the point that they want him removed. You see, differing opinions are just not allowed. Which is an odd thing for Coos County Oregon, which is one of the more conservatives areas in the state.

cancel culture will eventually come for you if you have an opinion different than the political Left
Don’t disagree. Or cancel culture will come for you

Tune in to hear what set off the organized attempt to have Rob’s show, The Rob Taylor Report, removed from the air waves. And find out how he’s fighting back to cancel cancel culture.

What can you do to help fight cancel culture? Don’t wait. Show your support for the shows you enjoy. Contact the stations you listen to (internet search using their call letters, like, “KWRO”) and let them know you like the show. That way, when cancel culture comes calling, they already know that show has support.

The Biggest Cancel Culture Target of All: President Trump

It’s no secret that, to the Left, the mere mention of “President Trump” is like splashing holy water on a vampire. The Left has made every attempt to destroy and remove him from society.

We saw it even before he was President Trump. The Deep State worked in coordination to provide backup to Hillary Clinton’s false claim that Trump was “colluding with the Russians.” Thanks to John Brennan, the then-head of the CIA, we know this to be true. He was in the White House briefing James Comey, then-head of the FBI, President Obama, and Vice President Biden. They all knew it was a lie. But three days after that meeting, James Comey opened operation Crossfire Hurricane.

Why is this important? Because it shows the depth the Deep State and the political left will go to mislead, smear, dehumanize, and destroy their political opponents. Donald Trump stood in their way of bleeding taxpayers for billions even trillions of dollars.

Scott McEwen: January 6 was not an Insurrection

We welcome back fan favorite, bestselling author Scott McEwen, to discuss what happened a year ago on January 6 at the Capital. We talk about the obvious (which means democrats are ignoring it) reason it wasn’t an insurrection.

Remember: Just because a democrat calls it an insurrection, doesn’t make it one.

And that’s true for so much else about this cancel culture we’re in. Just because democrats say it, doesn’t make it so. It’s not build back better, it’s funding for democrats. Donald Trump and his supporters aren’t “anti-American”, terrorists, or white supremacists, or any of a thousand other names and insults. The vaccines aren’t safe and effective. And 2020 wasn’t a secure election.

In fact, judging from January 6, a good rule of thumb is that if a democrat says it, the opposite is likely true.

This week: Stories in the Making

It’s Christmas time. And that always makes us think about the Christmas story. So this week, we’re focusing on the importance of stories and storytelling. And, how this could lead to a happily ever after for Oregon.

Jim Huggins holds two doctorates, is an ordained pastor, has a master’s degree in engineering—and before that was a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Air Force. Now, he is the CEO, Producer, and Director of a successful film company, New Shepherd Films (www.newshepherdfilms.com). Could all that experience be just what Oregon needs?

Or we could just go on with reruns: keep electing the same people to office and somehow expect different results.

Original Air Dates: December 18th & 19th, 2021 | Guest: Marc Thielman

This week: Marc Thielman, superintendent of Alsea School District (the only school to stay open all through the 2020 covid lockdowns), republican candidate for Oregon governor, and chief petitioner for real school choice in, joins us to talk about why it’s so needed in Oregon

School Choice? Real School Choice? In Oregon? Wait, What…?

Yes. It’s true. Oregon just might get school choice. Thanks to on again, off again, covid lockdowns that follow whatever pops into Governor Kate Brownshirt’s head.

“Trust the science” has been one of the most persistent lies over the last two years. If you dare question the science, you’re ridiculed and labeled ‘misinformation.’ That’s not how science works. That’s not even how trust works. It is the business of science to question science. Instead, you’re told to shut up and put your mask on. Because our science says so.
– Mark Anderson

This week, we talk with Marc Thielman, who is chief petitioner on the ballot initiative to bring real school choice to Oregon. This ballot initiative would allow parents to put their children in a school of their choice. Whether that’s another public school, a charter school, home school, or a “micro school” — a modern-day version of an old-time, one-room schoolhouse.

Why Real School Choice is So Needed

Just to give people an idea of why school choice is so important, the Corvallis School District thinks math is racist. Or that teaching math is racist. Or, perhaps what they really think is people of color aren’t smart enough to get math, so they need to hold White kids back? Really? So they are dumping all kids, regardless of skill or competency, into the same class. No more advanced classes. No more slower track classes. Everyone will be forced into the same mold. Because everyone must be the same. Or at least not allowed to be different. And certainly not excel. Because that would be racist. 

Imagine being a secondary school coordinator being this woke and not realizing how incredibly racist this sounds:

“I was able to walk into classes and identify whether they were a low or high track math class just based on the color of the students’ skin.”

So. What happens if a Black kid excels at math? Is it fair to hold them back and discourage them from excelling? Gosh. The problems you create when you see racism in everything. (Psst! That makes you the racist.)

How Real School Choice in Oregon would Work

Technically, parents have school choice. Sort of. The way it works now is the State “allows” parents to take their kids elsewhere to another school. But. They are punished financially by having to pay extra expenses (in addition to the taxes they already pay) for doing so. While their current school keeps all the money. That’s not real choice. (Although, it is a bit like the government saying, “Oh, we’re not forcing you to take the vaccine. But we’ll make sure you lose your job if you don’t.”) As it is, 100% of the public funds allotted to that child stays with the public school district the child is currently assigned to that child—regardless of where the child ends up. 

The current system means only rich people get to have school choice. They’re the only ones who can afford the extra expenses.

The way Real School Choice works is a portion of the public funding dollars already attached to a child goes with that child wherever the child goes. This truly opens the door for parents to put their child in the school that is the best fit for their child.

Tune in to hear the rest of the details and why Real School Choice is SO important for Oregon parents right now.

Yes, Virginia, Oregon is promoting Critical Race Theory. And that’s not even the worst of it.

Original Air Dates: December 11th & 12th, 2021 | Guest: State Senator Dennis Linthicum

This week: Senator Dennis Linthicum (OR SD-28) joins us for our year in review as we  look back at 2021 and take a look ahead at 2022.

A Year in Review: The Good, the Bad, and the Democrats

Last week we talked with Alek Skarlatos about the democrats’ gerrymandered congressional districts. This week we look a little deeper. Yes, the democrat gerrymandering is a problem but there is another monkey wrench they threw in the elections gears in 2021.

Actually, it’s more of a sledgehammer.

Be sure to check out the resources below for more info on China’s social credit score system democrats want to bring to the U.S. If you thought CRT was bad…

We also look ahead at 2022 and the challenges ahead. There are some great Republican candidates for governor. And, yes, there is a potential monkey wrench there too. Betsy Johnson. While she would be a far better democrat candidate than the ultra far left Tina Kotek or the so-called “moderate” carpetbagger Nicholas Kristoff, she’s running as an independent. Not a democrat.

That says a lot, doesn’t it?

Because she must not believe an independent-minded blue-dog democrat can win in Oregon. At least not get the win in the democrat primary. How will a third-party candidate impact the race? Split the votes and ensure a democrat win? Or split the democrats and let a Republican slip by?

We also look ahead to 2022. What are some of the key issues for Republicans to run on and attract both non-affiliated voters. And even democrats? Here’s a hint: we talked about one of them last week.

Original Air Dates: December 4th & 5th, 2021 | Guests: Alek Skarlatos & Donna Kreitzberg

This week: Two guests this week but a common theme: silver linings. First up is candidate for Congress, Alek Skarlatos who is running again for CD4, despite the overwhelming advantage democrats gave to democrats running there—going from a +1 Republican to a +9 democrat with the redistricting.

A ten point swing? Can you be any more obvious about your gerrymandering, democrats?

But lo and behold a ray of sunshine broke through and Alek sees some real advantages for himself and Republicans running in other districts.

Alek Skarlatos: Running for Oregon’s CD4

What’s the sunshine? In case you missed it, Peter Defazio, long, long-time incumbent, decided to step down and not run in 2022.

Wait, what now?

Yes, despite being gifted a 10 point swing in Oregon’s newly drawn CD4 (going from a -1 D deficit to a +9 D advantage), DeFazio stepped down. This was a silver platter. What on earth must those internal polls have been showing?

See old vs new the redistricting maps on 538 blog

Tune into hear other silver linings Alek sees — not only his own district but other districts in Oregon. In their greed, did Dems dilute Portland’s influence?

Real School Choice on the Ballot?

Then Donna Kreitzberg who managed to get past the first hurdle to put school choice—real school choice—on the ballot as a constitutional amendment. This is a game changer. Tune in to hear the details of why this could truly transform Oregon schools for the better.

Original Air Dates: Sept 18 & 19, 2021 | Sen. Dennis Linthicum & Patti Milne

This Week: Call for Grand Jury Investigation

Last week, Senator Dennis Linthicum surprised us when he casually mentioned he was heading to a press conference to discuss his call for a grand jury into covid-19 malfeasance.

Wait. What now…?

So of course we needed to have him come right back to talk about this. Dr. Henry Ealy and Leah Wilson have both called for a grand jury investigation into public officials’ willful misconduct by manipulating — fear mongering — the data, which has driven the panic-demic.

How We Got Here

200 million Americans are vaccinated but daily cases are 300% higher than last year when there were zero people vaccinatedIt’s been just over 11 years since the democrats forced Obamacare on the nation. Or “Deemed it passed” as Nancy said. Which led to the democrats seeing massive losses in 2010. And losing both the house and the senate.

A couple years later, Oregon went through its own “Healthcare Transformation”, which put Oregon’s own version of Obamacare into place, in case Obamacare was ever tossed out.

So we thought it would be a good idea to look back at how we got here. How did we move from a free-market system for health care to one that now seems to think it can order you to inject yourself with experimental vaccines?

We talk with former county commissioner, Patti Milne, who was in the thick og the battle as democrats pushed through Oregon’s grand scheme. Except here’s the thing: they had willing (duped) allies in their republican counterparts.

    • “Cole explained that two types of cells are required for adequate immune system function: ‘Helper T-cells,’ also called ‘CD4 cells,’ and ‘killer T-cells,’ often known as ‘CD8 cells,'” the report said. “According to Cole, in patients with HIV, there is a massive suppression of ‘helper T-cells’ which cause immune system functions to plummet, and leave the patient susceptible to a variety of illnesses. Similarly, Cole describes, ‘post-vaccine, what we are seeing is a drop in your killer T-cells, in your CD8 cells,'” Those, he explained, “keep all other viruses in check.”

Original Air Dates: August 21 & 22, 2021 | Marc Thielman & Dr. Henry Ealy

This Week: Exposing the Government’s Web of Lies

This week, it’s about pushing back on the orders, and exposing the government’s complex web of lies around covid.

We welcome first-time guest, superintendent Marc Thielman. He is a governor’s candidate who would have done covid very differently. Especially since his K-12 school stayed open and had not one case traced back to it. Marc is currently pushing back after the governor tried to publicly shame him for not wanting to obey her mask orders. Even worse, he dared to possibly give parents a way out.

Don’t miss the Gathering of the Eagles – Taking Back Oregon. Sept 11, 10 am – 3:30 pm. Speakers, lunch, and fellow patriots!

Then it’s Dr Ealy. With new covid-19 “variants” and blame on the unvaccinated, what’s the truth? And a new danger for the vaccinated that we warned previously about, pathogenic priming (also called A.D.E.), could be beginning to reveal itself. Is this the reason for new cases? And what to do about it.

Political Solutions: Marc Thielman, Candidate for Governor

Thielman talks to us about the upcoming governor’s race and why he threw his hat in to take on the challenges Oregon is facing. He’ll discuss where he sees the fallacies in the governor’s approach to covid, the impacts on schools and staff, and what he’d have done differently.

He addresses how Alsea was the only school that stayed opened in the state and had zero covid cases traced to the school. And he’ll discuss the recent public attack the governor and state officials had on Mr. Thielman’s daring to question mask mandates that, in her opinion, countered state mandates.

Because, remember, in today’s “science” you’re not allowed to question the science. Or disobey.

Don’t miss this: A German newspaper apologized for its role in covid-19 fearmongering. We need to see more of this!

Covid Solutions: Dr. Henry Ealy

We welcome back Dr. Ealy who has worked tirelessly in tracking the ever-manipulated CDC data and interpret its engineered impact. He brings us up to date on what they are now counting in the weekly numbers regarding covid cases and Oregon’s and other states’ “surge” of cases. We also talk about what the news is censoring: ADE and the potential impacts for people who’ve been vaccinated — and what people, vaccinated or not, can do to protect themselves.

A New Danger — for the Vaccinated? ADE

We have previously done shows on “pathogenic priming” with Dr. James Lyons-Weiler, aka “Dr. Jack.” Essentially, this is a well-known problem with corona and respiratory vaccines where the vaccinated can

Essentially, the vaccines work – until they’re exposed to the virus “in the wild.” They saw it when they tried to develop a vax for Sars-Cov-1. The animals died in the testing phase when exposed to the natural virus, which is why it was never brought to market.

As mentioned: a 5-min video from America’s Frontline Doctors describing this ADE effect months ago

Appallingly, ADE or pathogenic priming is a well-known effect of the corona vaccines. Here’s a study about the lack of informed consent regarding ADE for the vaccines. It found people were not being told that taking the “COVID-19 vaccines could worsen [the] disease upon exposure to challenge or circulating virus.” Did any of you who got the vaccines get warned prior to taking the vaccine about ADE? That it could make things worse?

But there are solutions. For the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. We talk about these in our final segment with Dr. Ealy. We don’t want to alarm people. We want to alert people. And bring you solutions.

They Lied. People Died. Time for a Covid Grand Jury

Dr. Ealy also has news on his attempts of pulling together a grand jury that will hopefully prosecute the CDC for misleading the public through faulty and manipulated numbers. Tune in to find out how far along they are. Hint: There’s been a major development.

Show Summary: Democrats blame every environmental problem on mankind, because climate change. But if you really believe global warming is real, you should take more action, not less. It’s not that there aren’t solutions to wildfires and drought. It’s that the solutions don’t financially benefit democrat organizations. And why solve a problem if you can keep exploiting it? But they may have to change. Because the public have had enough of the democrats’ letting nature take its course.

Original Air Dates: Aug 7th & 8th, 2021 | Dr. Bob Zybach & Sen. Dennis Linthicum

This Week: Drought and Wildfires

Never let a good catastrophe go to waste. That’s been the democrat and socialist mantra for decades.

But, worse, they create the crisis and offer the solution. We’re certainly seeing that with covid, a disease that you’re virtually guaranteed to survive with a average 99.8% recovery rate. But why let math get in the way of politicized science.

And there’s no place they do this more than the environment.

Wildfires: It’s not Global Warming, Stupid

First up we talk with our go-to expert, Dr. Bob Zybach, about the so-called “historic” drought. Is it? And of course drought impacts forests, which the so-called environments refuse to manage. Why is that?

Because, of course, you can make money on a crisis. Nobody throws millions of dollars at a problem that is easily managed. But if you create fear, you create opportunity. The political and financial kind. And why solve a problem like drought if you can exploit a never-ending river of money out of it?

But are people starting to wake up to the scam? Not enough. Yet. But there are cracks in their armor. Years ago, they never would have said that the forests have been mismanaged for decades. Like Oregon’s governor did just a dew weeks ago on a national news program. Excuse me, governor? Which party has been managing Oregon’s forests for decades. Oh, yes. That would be the democrats.

If they’re admitting it, maybe, just maybe, we can start solving the problems. But it’ll cost ya. If democrats are allowed to stay in power.

The Real Drought: Taking Action on Fixable Problems

Keep in mind, drought has been part of mankind’s existence since mankind existed. It’s not that there aren’t solutions. It’s that solving a problem means you can’t exploit it. And that’s what drives democrats right now. A crisis you create and just happen to have organizations that meets the needs of that crisis — without actually solving the crisis — is a situation that you can exploit. For literally billions.

We talk with Oregon Senator Dennis Linthicum from the Klamath Falls area — the focal point of environmental exploitation for decades.

It’s not that there isn’t water, it’s that the water is allowed to flow into the ocean. Without benefiting man nor fish. Think about it. If you let water go down stream, how does that benefit the fish you’re trying to save.

But is there something sinister afoot?

Environmentalists have tried for years to drive farmers off their land. Land that without water is both useless and worthless. And if farmers can’t make it, they could be forced to sell their land for pennies on the dollar.

And, abracadabra, environmentalists who buy that land could turn around and sell it $100 acres for $10,000 per acre mitigation credits. Some areas of the country would buy them for $50,000 an acre. And here you thought Lefties were against profits.

They are. When someone else makes it.

Show Summary: You might think election fraud and wildfires have nothing in common. Except of course election fraud determines who gets into office. And those who are elected then set policies like let-it-burn forest management. This week we look at the audits uncovering election fraud in Arizona, which are spreading like wildfire to other states. And if they uncover election fraud, what then?

Original Air Dates: July 31st & Aug 1st, 2021 | Horace Cooper & Valerie Odai

This Week: Election Fraud & Relief Angels

When there are threats that surround you, and you can’t figure things out on your own, the first reaction is usually to find the experts who know how to deal with the problems. This week’s show we turn to two experts to help us understand the magnitude of what’s happening.

We start with election fraud. Because the far-left wants you to believe that by questioning results you are somehow the one who wants to destroy elections. Which is a form of intimidation by shutting down the discussion rather than examining the problem. But Arizona has stayed strong, finishing up their ballot audit and are now preparing the final report. So far, the preliminary reports have been damning.

See the election fraud list of what’s been uncovered so far in Maricopa

Even still there are those, like Biden’s administration, that will do what they can to stop the process. So we turn to a constitutional expert to help us plow through the smoke and mirrors the far-left has been instrumental in placing before us.

Election Fraud with Horace Cooper

First up, and new to our show, Horace Cooper who is a senior fellow with the National Center for Public Policy Research, Co-Chairman of the Project 21 National Advisory Board, and a legal commentator. Mr. Cooper taught constitutional law at George Mason University and has been observing elections and their results—and the fraud involved—for years. He discusses past elections and crimes by election officials, along with the current election audits. We also tackle the misconceptions that the far-left is desperately spinning to distract.

And what if there is evidence of actual fraud here? What then?

Help for Oregon Wildfire Victims: Relief Angels with Valerie Odai

Then our next guest is also a newcomer to I Spy, Executive Director, Valerie Odai, of Relief Angles at www.relief-angels.org. Right now, Oregon has the largest forest fire in the nation, the Bootleg fire in southern Oregon, which is approaching half a million acres. While the fire fighters are making headway, the relief efforts in these remote areas are only just beginning.

We asked Ms. Odai to come on, to give us updates on the relief efforts that are ongoing and what is needed for the families impacted by this devasting fire. But she gives us much more by giving us a glimpse into the efforts that volunteers are doing to keep necessary goods going to the families in need and what other regions that they are involved in. Listen to hear about the courageous work so many volunteers are willing to do and find out how to help them achieve their goal of making people less fearful and rebuild their lives.

We hope you’ll join in. With all the hurt and damage, what a great thing to know that even a little help is huge when you’ve lost everything.

Be sure to visit Relief Angels! Every bit helps. Little bits add up to big bits.

The list of voter/election fraud in Maricopa County, Arizona

In a state Biden “won” by 10,457 votes, here’s the findings so far:

  • 3,981 people were allowed to vote despite registering after the Oct 15 deadline
  • 11,326 people in the county who voted in the November 3 election were NOT on the voter rolls on November 7, but were added to the voter rolls by December 4. In other words, they registered AFTER election day but still had their votes counted.
  • Roughly 18,000 voted but were removed from voter rolls after the election
  • 74,243 mail-in ballots were counted in Maricopa even though there is no evidence of the ballots ever being sent to the “voters” in the first place
  • Thin ballot paper used for approximately 168,000 ballots led to markers “bleeding through” the paper, damaging ballots, 
  • Most Republicans vote on election day. Prior to election day, a Maricopa County official had told staff to remind people to use a ballpoint pen. But ON elections day, that same official ordered staff to hand out Sharpie markers to same-day voters even though she knew about concerns with the Sharpies
  • Signature verification disappeared. Originally they used a 20-point verification for signatures, then 10, then five. And then eventually, staff were told to not verify them at all. (Maricopa County is withholding mail-in ballot images that can be used as evidence.)
  • Thousands of ballots had no serial number or was so light as to be unreadable and unverifiable
  • failure of Maricopa to turn over the 40% machines, the passwords that Dominion still refuses to turn over, & tens of thousands of unauthorized queries demonstrating how insecure the election was
  • The election voter data base was breached. There were over 37,000 anonymous administrative queries

A History of Election Fraud

    • “Project 21 Black leadership recommends voter identification and proof of citizenship. It recommends the purging of voter rolls. Co-Chairman of Project 21 Horace Cooper states that black voters are drowned out by the voting of illegal aliens, convicts, and noncitizens.”
  • Voter Fraud Is Major Election Threat Based on Recent Cases, Analyst Says (CNS News, Feb 1 2012)
    • The legal analyst cited “ghost voting” as the biggest problem. The term “ghost voter” is used to describe dead people that remain on the voter rolls.
    • “If even 1 percent of the vote is fraudulent, he says or implies that’s something we shouldn’t be concerned about,” Cooper said. “We ought to be outraged about it. …What ghost voting is successfully able to do is change what the actual outcome was going to be, to a different outcome.”
    • In the Troy, N.Y., case, … City Councilmen John Brown and Anthony DeFiglio [plead guilty.] … The probe was into whether they forged signatures on applications for absentee ballots and on actual ballots in the 2009 primary race … The Albany Times-Union newspaper reported that most of the fraudulent names were of residents of public housing authority apartments. The paper quoted DeFiglio calling it a “normal political tactic.”
      • In other words, they routinely cheated. Boys will be boys — politicians will be politicians
    • THIS: “What we see in Colorado and in this West Virginia plea agreement is that it’s pretty sinister and there are high-level people that can participate and manipulate the process and they can get away with it,”Cooper said.
