TOR Live Show 9/1/2026

San Diego-based independent journalist Amy Reichert joins the show to break down her experience at the rally against the Stop Nick Shirley Act in Sacramento last week. Reichert was chased and harassed by Antifa members who were there protesting Nick Shirley's presence.

Amy discusses the rally, what it's like to work with Nick Shirley, and what she uncovered when she returned to the site of a fraudulent daycare center she and Shirley busted a few months back.

Jason Snead - Executive Director of Honest Elections - joins Kira to talk about a new tactic to make an end run around voters...Ranked Choice Voting

Ranked choice voting (RCV), also called instant-runoff voting (IRV) in single-winner races, lets voters rank candidates by preference instead of picking only one.

• Voters list candidates in order (1st choice, 2nd choice, 3rd choice, etc.). They can rank as many or as few as they want; they do not have to rank everyone.
• First-choice votes are counted first. If one candidate has more than 50% of first-choice votes, they win immediately.
• If no one has a majority, the candidate with the fewest first-choice votes is eliminated. Ballots that ranked the eliminated candidate first are then transferred to those voters’ next-ranked remaining candidate.
• The process repeats in rounds until one candidate has a majority of the remaining active ballots.
• Ranking additional candidates does not hurt a voter’s first choice. A vote only moves to a later preference after the higher-ranked candidate is eliminated. Each ballot still counts as only one vote.
• There is also a multi-winner version (proportional RCV or single transferable vote) used to elect several seats at once so representation more closely matches voter support.

RCV is used in places such as Alaska (statewide general elections), Maine (certain federal and primary races), New York City, San Francisco, Minneapolis, and dozens of other U.S. cities.

‘Them Before Us’ founder and president Katy Faust joins the show to talk about the fight for the right of children to have access to their biological parents. Divorce, gay marriage, surrogacy, IVF…Katy argues these are all constructs that put the needs of children last while elevating the comfort of adults.

Was gay marriage a slippery slope? Is there a way to divorce that can actually help a child rather than harming him/her? What’s the big deal about surrogacy?

Kira and Katy have thoughtful and sometimes uncomfortable discussion about the comforts of adulthood versus the needs of children. Don’t miss this episode. It will change how you think about family from this point forward.
