Manage episode 311498653 series 3132199
Welcome in to Lucky Episode Number 13 of the Behind the Curtain podcast. I’m your host, Jeff Reynolds. This week I talk to two very involved activists who focus a lot of their energy on local politics, while maintaining a national perspective.
My first guest is mom, activist, writer, and podcaster extraordinaire, Kira Davis. My buddy Kira and I go way back to the early days of the Tea Party, blogging, and surviving the Kruiser Kabana days. She recently earned a position as roving editor of RedState, along with co-hosting the Smart Girls Politics podcast with April Gregory. Kira and I talk about her new position at RedState, the state of conservative media – a favorite topic of mine – and her deep dive into the comprehensive sex education curriculum in California, and her organizing efforts to fight back. We also poke fun at the 2020 field of Democratic presidential hopefuls, just for fun. You can find Kira on Twitter at twitter.com/realkiradavis. Also, be sure to follow her on RedState.com, and subscribe to the Smart Girls Politics podcast.
Quick note: again no bonus segment this week for Patreon, but you really should go check out previous recordings. There’s tons of extra info available exclusively for our patrons, which you can find at patreon.com/BehindTheCurtainWithJeffReynolds.
My local guest this week is John Ley, who lives just over the Columbia River in Southwest Washington. John has been following local transportation issues in Oregon and Washington for years, and ran for the Washington legislature in 2014. We chat about how insane the transportation policies of our respective states are, how destructive tolling will be for the average commuter, and what they should be doing but refuse to do to solve our regional transportation problems. This was a fun talk that really got into a lot of important detail. You can read more of John’s stuff at www.johnley.us.

Quick note about my book. I’m currently planning an east coast trip in the fall to speak at my alma mater, Connecticut College, and their college republican club. I’m excited to return after many years and confront the liberal campus culture with real facts about who owns the Professional Left in America. If you know of any conservative clubs, Republican groups, Tea Party or 912 clubs, or anyone else who would get something out of following the dark money on the Left, please email me at info@5440fight.com.
