WEBVTT - Antifa: Lessons From Seattle 0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:06.360 My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro 0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:09.960 American student organization in the country, fighting for the future 0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:13.360 of our republic. My call is to fight evil and 0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:16.520 to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.919 is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:23.200 if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.400 up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.600 stop sending your kids to college. You should get married 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:31.160 as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:33.280 Go start at turning point, you would say, college chapter. 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:35.599 Go start attny point, you say high school chapter. Go 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:37.839 find out how your church can get involved. Sign up 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:39.839 and become an activist. I gave my life to the 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:43.200 Lord in fifth grade, most important decision I ever made 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:45.080 in my life, and I encourage you to do the same. 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:46.000 Here I am. 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:47.120 Lord, Use me. 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:57.400 Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:01.400 is proudly sponsored by Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:05.480 experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:07.000 my family, friends and viewers. 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:11.280 All right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. Hour 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.160 two is underway. We are joined by Jason Rants, a 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:18.560 Seattle survivor, longtime Seattle resident, and he's got a website 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:24.319 Seattlered dot com Seattle red dot com. Jason, welcome back 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:25.840 to the Charlie Kirk Show. It's good to see you. 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:27.720 Good to see you. Thanks for having me. 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.920 You know, we were on a show last night together 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:35.240 with Katie Pavlich and NewsNation arguing about the virtues of 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.360 sanctuary cities, and we had the what is that guy's name? 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.000 Chris Hahn, the aggressive Progressive, and. 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.840 I couldn't hear you half the time because he kept 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:46.840 interrupting us. So I was like, Jason, we have to 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:50.080 have you back on the show. So explain to us 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.160 what is going on in Seattle, then relate it to Minnesota. 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.320 You have been around these communist front groups longer than 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.320 just about anybody in the country. You see it up 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.480 close and personal in the Pacific north West. How big 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:05.080 is this movement? How militarized are they, how organized are they? 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.600 Explain it for our audience, please, Jason Rants. 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.200 So, it is very organized, but it's not nearly as 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.160 large as it once was. And I was thinking about 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.880 it this morning for Kalum I'm doing I mean, go 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:19.520 back to Black Lives Matter in twenty twenty, and this 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.760 was right at the start really of the pandemic, before 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:24.960 a lot of people came to their senses and they 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.400 were terrified to go outside because we were told not to. 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.959 And yet there were millions of people nationwide who actually did, 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:33.440 in fact take to the streets, and that was all 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.520 based on a lie. Cut to what's been going on 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.240 for the last few months, the organizing has arguably gotten 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.640 even more favorable press coverage. There's still a lot of 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:47.079 misinformation and just flat out lies happening, and yet we're 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:49.760 not seeing the same number of people out on the ground. 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.760 It's the same folks over and over and over again 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.760 who are showing up in shorts. It's grown a little bit, 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:55.960 there's no doubt about that. And not everyone who shows 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.520 up to these protests are sort of that professional activist class. 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:04.000 But the same level of organizing, the same level of 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:08.240 strategy is at play, and it's this progressive protest industrial 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.320 complex where you've got a bunch of folks in this case, 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.600 either activists within the community who are part of the organization, 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:19.120 or it's Democrat lawmakers far left lawmakers who are encouraging 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:22.640 you in this case, to interfere with ICE operations, go 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:24.919 out there, get in their faces, put your bodies on 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.960 the line. That's a quote from some of these lawmakers 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.440 and activists, And they end up creating a situation in 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.000 which someone likes Alex pretty ends up getting killed. Then 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:39.200 they use that death to create more outrage. That then 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:43.200 just creates that vicious circle to get more people to 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.520 then go out and interfere with ICE and put their 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.160 bodies on the line and then lead to this next 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.680 confrontation that ends up taking someone's life. 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.360 And it just makes folks a whole bunch of money. 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.760 It gets people more follows on social media, and it 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.840 gets them more favorable coverage, and we see this happening 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.080 over and over and over again. It's not going to stop, 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.000 but it's certainly not growing at the same level that 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.680 the BLM movement grew. And that's obviously a good thing 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:14.800 because it means at least some of the American voters, 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.640 the average person who's looking at this, are saying, Okay, 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:22.479 we want sensible immigration reform, we want some semblance of 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:26.719 immigration law being enforced, and they're not falling for the 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.760 far left position that underlines everything that they're doing here. 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.159 They are against, on the radical left all enforcement of 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:36.080 immigration laws. That is a radical position that is not 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.680 shared by the vast majority of this country, and I 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:43.120 think that explains why we're not seeing this movement grow 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.440 at the same level as we saw during the DLM movement. 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:51.680 So, Jason, you've seen this unfold over a pretty long 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:52.440 period of time. 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:53.200 In Seattle. 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:57.159 They've had Antifa type stuff for ages, they had the 0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:00.840 explosion of homelessness there. It felt like Seattle was in 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.479 a really severe crisis about five years ago. I remember 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:06.520 Seattle is dying and all of that, And it seems 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.440 to me, obviously it's still a blue city. Obviously it 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.560 still has a lot of problems, but it does seem 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:14.960 to have pulled back from the autonomous zone level crisis 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.320 they were in. Are there any lessons from that for 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:22.160 how the whole country might regard this national Antifa as 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:26.320 they how do people how do you defeat this process 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:28.960 that they enact on us to use the kind of 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:30.800 weaponize weakness against the system. 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.080 Well, it's interesting because had we had this conversation a 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.480 few months ago, my answer would have been a little 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:38.839 bit more clear as it's going to be because Unfortunately, 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:42.120 the voters just took a giant step backwards, or took 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:45.520 a mile backwards, because after all that nonsense with the 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.560 autonomous zone, the voters put in place someone who is 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.480 least perceived to be a little bit more moderate. Now 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.240 I didn't view our last mayor as moderate, but he 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.839 was booted out of office for a socialist, an open socialist, 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.960 who has already instituted a bunch of plans. That's sending 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.400 us back in the wrong direction. So I don't know 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:06.800 if Seattle voters learn their lesson. Now, if you look 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.159 back and you're just kind of dweeby like me, and 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:13.279 you look at the general I don't know algorithm of voters. 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:17.680 Here is the Seattle base of radicals. They push us 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:21.240 very very very far to the left. Then the voters say, okay, 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.640 let's dial it back a notch. Then you see some results. 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.159 But then they go and say, okay, well, now that 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.240 we saw some of course correction, let's go back in 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.080 the crazy direction. And so that's where we're at right now. 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:34.560 We're headed back in that crazy direction. And you know, 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.600 this whole idea of the protesters and how organized they are, 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:41.000 Like yesterday, there was yet another march in downtown Seattle, 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.960 you know, ruining all the traffic again, and they were 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.680 doing this because they wanted to speak in solidarity with 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.599 what's going on in Minneapolis. Again, it's the same people 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.400 who show up every single time who are engaged in this, 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:56.880 and they're allowed to do whatever it is they want 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.200 to do because they're doing it for some quote unquote 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:00.720 righteous position. 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.520 And that's how it's going to unfold. 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:05.919 I imagine there's gonna be another one today and another 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:07.520 one tomorrow, and it's going to be the same people 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.600 showing up. So I don't know if we've actually truly 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.120 learned a lesson, because we never seem to learn our 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:13.760 lesson for more than four years at a time. 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:16.440 Yeah, and you're talking Katie Wilson. She's a real peach, 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:16.960 by the way. 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.480 And you guys are gonna have a massive problem with 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.160 Somali fraud rings as well. In the state of Washington. 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:26.160 They are rampant their Jonathan Choe, who's with Tbosa front Lines, 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:30.160 has been doing investigations on that. It's this is an 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.240 emerging story that you guys are gonna have to confront. 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:36.080 I'm worried that if we don't squash this right now, Jason, 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:38.240 with a massive show of force, which seems like we're 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.600 going in the opposite direction. We're gonna have an even 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:45.040 tougher problem in cities like Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.559 come the spring and summer months when the weather's better. 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.680 So are you worried about seeing that as well? I mean, 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:52.640 because you could let this stuff peter out and then 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.800 it flares up again, peter out, flares up again, or 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.760 you could squash it definitively. And I don't like seeing 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.560 guys like Bovino be left out on you know, to 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:03.400 take you know, take the rap for everybody here. I 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:04.800 want to see us squash this. 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:06.960 Yeah, he should not take the rap. 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.720 However, I do think it's reasonable to say or a 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:11.720 criticism is that I don't think he handled this over 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.160 the weekend particularly well, and I think the President is 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.760 trying to clean that all up. The President has been 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.880 really good about putting competent people in positions of power 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.200 and just sort of letting them take the lead and 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.640 he'll come in when he needs to, and he obviously 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:25.080 needed to. 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:26.160 Immediately. 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:31.600 Calling Alex Pretty a domestic terrorist was a unwise decision. 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.160 It was not going to play in the context of 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.600 even the video that we had at the time. To 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:40.360 just merely jump to that that quickly, knowing that the 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:42.640 left wing media is never ever, ever going to be 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.840 sympathetic to any messaging coming from ICE or coming from 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:50.000 CBP or from this administration just seemed like an unforced error. 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.120 I think the President is making the right move and 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:55.360 putting Tom Homean in charge for now. I don't think 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.559 Bovino again, to your point, he shouldn't be just thrown 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.480 under the bus for any of this now. There should 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.000 be should we do that to Christy. 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:01.200 No. 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.040 However, I don't think that they handled the messaging well 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.080 in this case, and it seemed to be put out 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.520 there in a way that I completely understand. 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:11.360 Right, wanting to. 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:16.920 Immediately back your staff, whether again it's Border patrol, ice 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.199 or any law enforcement makes sense because the context has 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.680 been no matter what it is they do, they're going 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:24.480 to be thrown under the bus by left wing media. 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.320 They're going to be relentlessly attacked, and so the natural 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:31.000 instinct is to protect them. But the way you protect 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:36.600 them does matter, And the initial messaging went a little 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:40.679 bit too far. They did it without the evidence on 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.160 their side, And look, there were conservatives who called out 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.400 some of the messaging around one's right to bare arms 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.120 and have a concealed carry. You know, it's obviously not 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:54.559 illegal in Minnesota to have concealed carry while going into 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.400 a protest. It doesn't mean that what he did was wise. 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.079 It very clearly wasn't. And had they focused on I 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.880 think they would have won that messaging, or at least 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:04.680 had a little bit more of an upper hand. 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:05.800 No, I agree with you. 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.559 I think the Renee Good case is a clear cut 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.840 self defense case, right. The pretty case is a little 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:16.160 bit different. If you were omniscient, omnipotent, you would probably 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.160 looking back, say you didn't have to fire, all right, 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.680 And the messaging after would, I would agree, was not 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:26.800 helpful based on the video evidence that we had. If 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.800 you knew Charlie Kirk, you knew this. He was a connector. 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.680 Charlie believed in finding good people and connecting them with 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.320 other good people that he cared about. When someone truly 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.080 took care of him, Charlie would never hesitate to recommend them. 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.200 Andrew Delray and Todd of Akin were two of those people. 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.800 They personally helped. Charlie and Erica with their mortgage needs, 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.720 and Charlie trusted them completely. Whether it was a home 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.800 buyer trying to qualify or someone needing to consolidate debt 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.280 or see if they could get a lower rate and payments. 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.440 These were the guys Charlie sent people to and right now, 0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:00.000 timing matters. The market has shifted and rates have come down. 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.760 There's more inventory, bidding wars have cooled, and buyers finally 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.400 have more control. But that window won't stay open forever. 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:10.120 As rates come down, competition will return. That's why being 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.760 prepared now is so important.

Jason, you live in a very liberal city, Seattle. 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.400 I don't know why you're still up in Seattle, by 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.719 the way, but God bless you for braving up there. 0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:00.640 I went to University of Washington. I appreciate Seattle. Utiful city, 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:05.440 very crazy city. So these people are crazy, They are 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:09.360 dangerous people. These are provocateurs, right, they are agitators, they're 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:12.160 communists often three h two, this is an Antifa member. 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:13.960 Get your reaction on the other side. 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:19.120 Show up, ready to go. Okay, No, not talking about 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:24.600 peaceful protests anymore. We're not talking about having polite conversations anymore. Sorry, 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:28.199 but welcome to America twenty twenty six, where Second Amendment 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.480 is the only thing that's going to keep you protected 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:35.800 from literal Tazi gunmen that are killing innocent people in 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:40.839 the street with impunity. This is not a joke. There's 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:45.840 nothing fun to chant about it. Get your guns and 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:47.760 stop these people. 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:53.079 That's probably your neighbor, Jason. How am I supposed to 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:55.160 do with this? This is radical stuff. 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.360 What we're supposed to do with it is, call it 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:01.160 out and ensure that this kind of mess isn't normalized. 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.200 And that's been the reality, I think for the last 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:06.520 several years, is that kind of messaging was completely normalized, 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:10.720 where you've got these sad people, lonely people, dangerous people 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:14.439 who have convinced themselves that they're actual heroes, that they're 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:19.199 freedom fighters, and if not for their violence and activism, 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:23.199 we would be headed towards a fascist country. They believe 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:27.160 we're already in that space. And that's the sad part, 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.880 and that's why so many people, yourself included, myself included, 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.360 we've talked about this for the last several years of 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:37.160 when you've got radical leftists who are in positions of power, 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.640 who are out there as recently as yesterday and over 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:44.840 the weekend talking about how you know, they're fighting Nazis, 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:49.120 the Gestapo, they're fighting Adolf Hitler and Karnate. We know 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:52.200 that that's incredibly dangerous. It's not just hyperbole, and they 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.040 know it's not just hyperbole, and that it's inspiring their 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.360 base to commit these kinds of violent acts or at 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:01.360 least threatened them. And you know, so the attention has 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:06.080 to be on unnormalizing and stigmatizing again this kind of language. 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:07.920 The reality is there's always going to be crazy people 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:11.520 out there, and people get inspired by all sorts of things. 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.440 The question is whether or not the messaging inspiring some 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.160 of these people are delivered in good faith or not. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.840 And when you've got and frank references by Tim Wilson, 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:22.480 that's not delivered in good faith. When you've got Gavin 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.920 Newsom out there, it's not delivered in good faith. It's 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:28.600 intended to create this kind of violence, and at least 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:30.760 at a bare minimum, this kind of violent rhetoric. And 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:32.920 they believe that they benefit from it because they keep 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:37.120 getting rewarded by left wing press for these kinds of statements. 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.400 And you know the good news is you know that 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.840 individual that you just played is Venmo was taken down. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:44.720 I believe his Instagram has been taken down. He now 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.000 says he's on the run, trying to now flip this 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.120 into him being some kind of victim. 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:50.760 He's not the victim. He is the bad guy in 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:51.280 the story. 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:55.000 That's right, speaking of bad guys and not normalizing bad behavior. 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:56.800 You are in Seattle, so I have to ask you 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:57.640 about the Super Bowl. 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.800 Bad Bunny will dress to impress us at the super Bowl, 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:03.240 but won't wear a dress. 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:04.120 So this is new. 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:10.080 This is breaking, breaking, re dress breaking, no dress, Jason, So. 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:14.920 This is cowardice. He's just backing down. He blinked, he blinked. 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.040 What so yeah, give us your respect. 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.840 He should be wearing a dress, or he shouldn't be performing. 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:22.760 If you're gonna go all in, you might as well 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:24.400 just go I want it all in Spanish and I 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:25.280 want it in a dress. 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:27.160 Yeah, and so bad bunny. 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.840 He did not include US and concert tours for fear 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:33.640 in his tour. So he didn't, in clear us include 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.760 US tour stops in his tour because of fear of 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:37.600 ice raids. 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.960 And you know, now we're hearing. 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.600 Super Bowl twenty twenty six ice agents to conduct enforcement 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:45.680 as Trump boycotts the game. 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:47.880 There's a lot of layers here to the Super Bowl. 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.440 You are a Seattle resident, give us your POV on 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:54.280 this Super Bowl and in the much much discussed halftime show. 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.080 Yeah, I will say this season has felt a little 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:00.320 bit different, that we've kind of gotten away from a 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:01.240 lot of the wokeness. 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:04.520 There's no doubt it's become less woke as a league. 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:09.560 I enjoy watching hometown teams in whether it's a Super 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:12.360 Bowl or World Series fingers crossed next year. So I'm 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:15.000 not going to boycott something that I might actually enjoy 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:18.840 because of a bunch of lunatics. I don't particularly care 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:22.240 about the halftime show. I didn't really know who Bad 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:24.600 Bunny was when he became all controversial. I kind of 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:28.120 heard of him, but not really followed anything. I will 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:30.200 do what I normally do during the halftime, which is 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:33.480 just not watch. I focus on the game. And you know, 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.400 to the extent that anyone enjoys. 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:36.960 The super Bowl, watch the super Bowl. That's what you enjoy. 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:38.640 Not allow wokes goold. 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:42.080 I have to I have to interject here, Jason, we 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:46.520 do have a All American halftime show that we would 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.120 we would gladly welcome you to watch you. It'll be 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.320 all over X, all over YouTube, all over, all over rumble. 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:56.000 So yep, there it is the All American Halftime Show. 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:58.120 We do not say the other word in that in 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:01.960 that sentence for fear of legal reprisal, but do eight. 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:04.400 To twenty five All American Halftime Show. 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:08.560 We're gonna have more details on that next week, so 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:10.080 please do stay tuned. 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:12.920 But yeah, I mean, I think this is a really interesting. 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:15.119 Touch point actually just as a culture, because you know, 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.199 we have a guy that seems to not really like 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:21.840 America performing at the biggest stage that we have, and 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.280 that's a that's a really unfortunate reality. 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:25.800 Go ahead, Jason, it is. 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:27.840 I just don't want to see that kind of power 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:33.240 to these people to take away something that other people enjoy. 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:34.280 It's the same thing, you know. 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.600 I don't go out of my way to support people 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.520 who don't support this country, but I also don't allow 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.400 them to ruin something for me. And the super Bowl 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:46.040 is not about the halftime show. And to your point, 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:50.520 there's some counter programming that's way better to consume. That's 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:53.320 for about fifteen to twenty minutes, and that's what people 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:55.119 should do. But I'm not going to say I'm going 0:17:55.160 --> 0:18:00.000 to boycott an entire league or a championship game because 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:03.640 of some people on the radical left demanding it. If 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.480 we seed over football or baseball or any sports to 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:10.040 the left, and we're going to run out of things 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:10.520 to enjoy. 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.800 Seattle Red check it out, Jason Rant, Thank you so much. 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:14.720 Thanks guys. 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:21.240 Every day Americans make choices that shape our country's future, 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:23.879 right down to which cell phone provider we support.
