The latest North State and California news on our airwaves for Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026.

The latest North State and California news on our airwaves for Friday, Aug. 28, 2026.

The latest North State and California news on our airwaves for Thursday, Aug. 27, 2026.

This is the guest the audience kept demanding, and Zak Paine pushed CannCon to book. Clint Curtis, now Registrar of Voters in Shasta County, California, is the programmer who, back around 2000 in Florida, was asked to write software that could flip an election, and did, in 24 lines of code. CannCon and Ashe in America walk him through that origin story, the congressional testimony every mainstream camera mysteriously abandoned at lunch, the hanging chad "designed problem," and the eerie 51-49 pattern that haunted results for a decade. Then Clint explains his current fix: livestreaming every ballot on video before and after it touches a scanner so the machine simply cannot afford to cheat, and how that process accidentally uncovered a counterfeit ballot-stuffing problem. A rare, technical, and slightly jaw-dropping conversation with someone who has seen the guts of the system. Plus cacao, mystery toner, and a Las Vegas geography quiz.

Today Joe pulls back the curtain on an election system that keeps handing Americans excuses instead of answers. Eyewitnesses out of Shasta County reveal poll workers describing counterfeit ballots slipped into California's primary count, while another courageous county clerk begs Washington for basic help keeping noncitizens off her voter rolls — only to reveal the Secretary of State's own office is registering illegal immigrants the moment they update an address. Joe contrasts that rot with a CNN graphic even the network can't spin away: overwhelming majorities of Black, white, and Latino voters all want photo ID at the polls. Then James O'Keefe joins the fight, calling out Senator Lisa Murkowski for threatening to prosecute him over voter fraud while she personally torpedoes the SAVE Act — the legislation that would actually stop it. It's a masterclass in who's protecting the vote and who's protecting the fraud.From there, Joe welcomes America First organizer and Colorado GOP delegate James McAndrew — a man who was on the ground at the Ellipse on January 6th and has spent every day since fighting for election integrity from the inside. McAndrew breaks down what's really happening in Colorado politics, and Joe drops the truth, nine — soon revealed as ten — Democrat-held State House seats where not a single Republican even bothered to file. It's an uncontested one-party rule, playing out in real time, next door to a Denver street scene of addicts getting high in broad daylight — the predictable output of the same failed leadership. The conversation turns to a wrongly deported immigrant's CBS interview, a fresh 6-3 Supreme Court win clearing the path for Trump's mail-ballot executive order, and — because nothing is off-limits — the President's plan to rename Lake Ontario "Lake America."The back half of the show is a gut-check on what "sanctuary" really means. California just codified the "Stop Nick Shirley Act" into law, New York Governor Kathy Hochul is celebrating a statute that bans police from cooperating with ICE while accusing federal agents of "atrocities," and Minnesota is now issuing public safety warnings about Somali gang violence at the State Fair. Add in the Girl Scouts' new Islam-themed merit badges and a Clinton-appointed federal judge striking down Ohio's citizenship-verification voter law weeks before the midterms, and the pattern is impossible to ignore: institutions built to protect citizens are being repurposed to protect everyone but them. Tune in as Joe connects every thread — because if you're not watching closely, you won't see it coming until it's already at your door.

In this barn burner of an episode, Joe dives headfirst into the mounting tensions surrounding election integrity and government transparency. Opening with damning claims from investigative reporter John Solomon regarding intelligence officials withholding key election security details, the show sets a fiery tone against system vulnerabilities and institutional silence. Joe dissects the growing skepticism among the electorate, targeting controversial mechanisms like the ERIC voter roll system while taking aim at the broad apathy and dismissive narratives dominating mainstream discussion.The focus shifts to cyber-security and election operations as expert Mark Cook joins the broadcast to pull back the curtain on voting system vulnerabilities. Highlighting alarming technical capabilities like tabulator hard drive wiping utilities and sharing firsthand observations from recent field investigations in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, Cook provides a granular look at the mechanical and procedural risks threatening ballot security. The conversation builds on testimony from election officials, challenging the narrative surrounding automated tabulators and procedural transparency.Closing out the lineup, former Colorado elections clerk Tina Peters steps into the spotlight to discuss her ongoing national campaign for election reform. Fresh off high-level meetings in Washington D.C. with prominent figures like Howard Lutnick and Harmeet Dhillon, Peters shares critical updates on her political trajectory, including a potential return to public administration with an offered position in Shasta County, California. Joe brings the show home by tying together these individual battles into a broader picture of resistance, accountability, and the future of American voting systems.

Political Breakdown continues an ongoing series on election integrity in America. Shasta County has been ground zero in California's fight over election security. Election officials took control of the deep red county's Board of Supervisors and elections office. Although some of those officials lost reelection bids in June, voters also passed a ballot measure to overhaul how the county runs elections, including eliminating mail-in voting and requiring voter ID and hand-counting ballots. That measure is now tied up in court after the Secretary of State and Attorney General sued, arguing it it violates a number of state laws. Marisa discusses it all with Jefferson Public Radio reporter Roman Battaglia.  Later, Marisa is joined by Joanna Francescut, the county's newly elected Registrar of Voters, about what it's like to be an election official in Shasta. Francescut hs worked in the elections office since 2008 and takes over in January 2027 just after the consequential midterm elections.  If you missed it, you can listen to the first and second episodes of our election integrity series.

The Secretary of State has now directed that the recount begins in Shasta County no later than tomorrow, July 16, 2026 — with the other 57 counties on standby. This is not a Republican story.

When Bobbie Simpson decided to run for her local school board in Gateway Unified School District, in the far northern county of Shasta, she knew it might be difficult to win as a transgender woman. More than half the voters in Shasta County are registered Republican. A conservative Christian church that promotes LGBTQ conversion therapy and “believes in the ever-increasing government of God,” according to its website, is very influential in local politics. But Bobbie ran anyway because she cares about schools. She pledged to bring the focus back to education and preserve the district's social emotional learning programs, which had benefited her own kids. And she won, with 57 percent of the vote, becoming the first transgender person known to be elected to a California school board. For the most part, she says she's found acceptance and respect on the board and in her community.

The latest North State and California news on our airwaves for Thursday, March 26, 2026.

Season 6, Episode 281 Key U.S. News: Fire Readiness, Sky Explosions, Wildlife Impacts & Rancher Relief Spring Means Wildfire Preparations According to Wildfire Today, it's been 40 years since the United States' western region has experienced this low of snowpack near winter's end, setting the stage for what many fear will be an early and extreme peak wildfire season. Not only does low snowpack worsen environmental conditions and increase the possibility of extreme fires, but it also limits the window to safely set prescribed burns during the spring. As winter fades and temperatures rise, spring marks the beginning of wildfire season in many parts of the country—especially in areas expecting dry conditions. If forecasts point to drought, early preparation can make a critical difference in protecting your home, land, and outdoor experiences. Preparing Your Property for Wildfire Season Getting ahead of wildfire risk starts right outside your door. Spring is the ideal time to reduce fuel sources and create defensible space around your property. Clear and Maintain Defensible Space Remove dry leaves, dead grass, and fallen branches from around your home and outbuildings. Trim trees so branches are at least 6–10 feet away from structures and keep grass short. Fire spreads quickly through dry, continuous vegetation—breaking that chain is key. Plan Water Access If you're in a rural area, make sure hoses, pumps, or water tanks are functional and accessible. Clearly mark water sources for emergency responders if possible. Using Prescribed Burning Responsibly Prescribed, or controlled, burning can be a powerful tool for reducing wildfire risk when done correctly. What Is Prescribed Burning? Prescribed burning involves intentionally setting small, controlled fires under specific weather conditions to remove excess vegetation. This reduces the amount of fuel available for larger, uncontrolled wildfires. When and How to Do It Spring is often a safer window due to cooler temperatures and higher moisture levels—but only under the right conditions. Always: Check local regulations and permits Monitor wind speed and direction Have firefighting tools on hand (water, shovels, firebreaks) If you're inexperienced, consider working with local fire officials or trained professionals. Stay Alert: Fire Bans and Weather Warnings During drought conditions, fire risk can change rapidly. Staying informed is just as important as physical preparation. Monitor Local Fire Restrictions Counties and states often issue burn bans or restrictions when conditions become dangerous. These rules can change weekly—or even daily—based on weather patterns. Pay attention to: Open burn bans Equipment restrictions (like chains or welding) Campfire limitations Ignoring these rules can lead to fines—and far worse, accidental wildfires. Watch the Weather High winds, low humidity, and warm temperatures create the perfect storm for fire spread. Even routine activities like mowing or towing a trailer can spark fires under the wrong conditions. Camping During Fire Season: Staying Safe and Responsible Outdoor recreation doesn't have to stop during fire season—but it does require extra care and awareness. Understand Fire Ban Levels Not all fire bans are the same. Some allow campfires in designated rings, while others prohibit all open flames. Before heading out, check: Park or forest service websites Campground postings Local ranger stations Safe Alternatives to Campfires If campfires are restricted, you can still enjoy the camping experience: Use propane camp stoves (if allowed) Bring LED lanterns for ambiance Prepare no-cook or pre-cooked meals If Campfires Are Allowed When conditions permit fires: Use established fire rings only Keep fires small and manageable Never leave a fire unattended Fully extinguish with water—stir ashes until cool to the touch A good rule: if it's too hot to touch, it's too hot to leave. Meteor Boom Heard Across Multiple States A loud boom that startled people across parts of the Midwest and East Coast has been traced back to a small asteroid, according to NASA. The object—about 6 feet wide and weighing roughly 7 tons—entered Earth's atmosphere on the morning of March 17, 2026. As it broke apart high above the ground, it released energy equal to about 250 tons of TNT. That explosion created a pressure wave, producing the booming sounds heard across at least 10 states, including Ohio and Pennsylvania. The event was widely seen and reported, with eyewitnesses spotting a bright fireball streaking across the sky. Some of those sightings were confirmed by the National Weather Service, which used lightning-detection satellite tools to help identify the meteor. Experts say the boom was likely a sonic boom caused by the asteroid breaking apart at high speed. Despite the dramatic sight and sound, there are no reports of debris reaching the ground, suggesting the object burned up in the atmosphere. In short, it was a brief but powerful space event—visible across a wide region, but ultimately harmless.

Over the past several weeks, more than 100 whitetail deer are believed to have been killed after being drawn onto railroad tracks to feed on corn scattered along an 80–90 mile stretch from Thief River Falls to the Canadian border. Residents say a railcar carrying salted corn likely opened in transit, spilling grain along the tracks. The easy food source has attracted deer and other animals, especially during a harsh winter when food is scarce. But the tracks also pose a danger: deer tend to stay on them to avoid deep snow, making it difficult to escape oncoming trains. Local landowner Steve Porter has documented the scene, reporting widespread carcasses and heavy deer activity along the railway. He estimates the death toll could range between 100 and 200 animals. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources confirmed the spill, noting that such accidents do happen, though they rarely coincide with times when deer are most vulnerable. Officials have already euthanized at least 13 injured deer in the area and warn that more dead animals may be discovered once the snow melts. Residents continue to express concern as the situation unfolds, calling it an unusually severe wildlife loss tied to an avoidable accident. Reference: https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/railway-corn-spill-dead-deer California Sends $3.5 Million to Ranchers Coping With Gray Wolves Wildlife officials in California say more than three-and-a-half million dollars has now been distributed to livestock producers dealing with the return of gray wolves. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife says about $3.52 million has been paid out through the state's Wolf-Livestock Compensation Program, which was created by the California Legislature to help ranchers offset costs tied to wolf activity. The program offers support in three different ways. Ranchers can receive payments for confirmed livestock losses caused by wolves, “pay-for-presence” payments when wolves are documented in an area, and funding for deterrent tools aimed at preventing conflicts between wolves and livestock. Most of the money so far has gone to ranchers in Northern California, where wolf activity has been most concentrated. Counties receiving funding include Siskiyou County, Lassen County, Modoc County, Plumas County, Shasta County, Sierra County and Tulare County. According to the department's data, Siskiyou County has received the largest share, with payments topping two million dollars. Other counties, including Lassen, Modoc, and Plumas,   have received smaller amounts to help producers respond to wolf-related impacts. The compensation program was developed after the return of the Gray Wolf to California in the early 2010s. Wildlife officials say the effort is meant to support ranchers while the state continues managing the recovering wolf population. State officials say they'll keep working with eligible producers to distribute remaining funds, and application information is available through the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
