Welcome to hold the line. I 0:00:28.057 --> 0:00:31.057 am Rob Smith filling in for the great Buck Sexton. 0:00:31.097 --> 0:00:33.697 If you like me, check out my podcast. Can't cancel 0:00:33.777 --> 0:00:37.417 Rob Smith wherever you get your podcasts. So, look, politicians 0:00:37.497 --> 0:00:40.777 lie like they breathe. This is nothing new. It is 0:00:40.817 --> 0:00:44.377 practically a part of the job description. Look, politicians lie 0:00:44.417 --> 0:00:46.657 and lie and lie. Then they take a deep breath. 0:00:46.697 --> 0:00:48.897 Then they lie some more. Then the ones in DC 0:00:49.137 --> 0:00:51.977 go have dinner at the Diplomat. Then they go back 0:00:51.977 --> 0:00:53.537 to their office and they lie some more, and then 0:00:53.577 --> 0:00:55.817 they take a deep breath. Then they lie some more. 0:00:56.057 --> 0:00:58.417 Then they get on the phone, lie to their donors, 0:00:58.657 --> 0:01:01.057 get more money so that they can lie to you. 0:01:01.417 --> 0:01:04.617 This is what politicians do. And I am no longer 0:01:04.737 --> 0:01:08.337 shocked by this. But guys, the lies that are coming 0:01:08.417 --> 0:01:13.137 from the Biden administration our next level, precisely because these 0:01:13.177 --> 0:01:16.577 people are lying about the very things that are currently 0:01:16.617 --> 0:01:20.217 making your life and mine that much harder. Yeah, I 0:01:20.337 --> 0:01:22.537 said my life. Look you see me on the TV 0:01:22.617 --> 0:01:24.497 screen and hear me on the podcast. But I am 0:01:24.577 --> 0:01:28.737 not some multi millionaire. I am not Kim Kardashian. I'm 0:01:28.777 --> 0:01:31.657 not jumping on my yacht after this show. I am 0:01:31.777 --> 0:01:35.297 very far from it. Look, guys, gas and groceries that 0:01:35.337 --> 0:01:39.497 are more expensive hurts. It hurts me, It hurts you 0:01:39.817 --> 0:01:42.377 who it does not hurt who does not really care 0:01:42.417 --> 0:01:45.857 about all of this stuff any further than the lies 0:01:45.857 --> 0:01:48.017 that they tell you from the podium. Are the people 0:01:48.017 --> 0:01:51.657 in the Biden administration? Are these bureaucrats, These people who 0:01:51.737 --> 0:01:56.017 have been in DC screwing up for decades and decades 0:01:56.017 --> 0:02:00.057 and decades and have failed up into these positions that 0:02:00.097 --> 0:02:04.017 they are so obviously not ready for Pasin point, Joe 0:02:04.017 --> 0:02:07.057 Biden's been in DC longer than I've been a live 0:02:07.137 --> 0:02:12.137 folks here, he is messing things up, And these people 0:02:12.137 --> 0:02:14.817 will lie to you over and over again and tell 0:02:14.897 --> 0:02:19.457 you that it is someone else's fault. These people are 0:02:19.497 --> 0:02:24.657 passing the buck no pun intended, every single day. If 0:02:24.697 --> 0:02:27.537 your groceries are more expensive, it's the fault of those 0:02:27.657 --> 0:02:31.057 evil meat companies. Yeah, we're looking at you, Hormel. That's 0:02:31.057 --> 0:02:34.217 why it's your fault. Spam is more expensive, as spam 0:02:34.337 --> 0:02:37.457 is even meat. If your gas is more expensive. It's 0:02:37.497 --> 0:02:42.017 because of you guessed it, Vladimir Putin. He is the 0:02:42.217 --> 0:02:46.897 Left's favorite super villain. He is the villain. He is 0:02:46.937 --> 0:02:50.737 the person that they want you to believe is making 0:02:50.777 --> 0:02:55.457 your gas prices this high. Listen to Biden's liar in chief, 0:02:55.977 --> 0:02:59.297 White House Press Secretary Karin John Pierre, as she shuffles 0:02:59.337 --> 0:03:01.977 through her binder of lies to give a camera response 0:03:02.017 --> 0:03:06.377 when asked about these gas prices. Final question on gas prices. 0:03:06.497 --> 0:03:09.937 Americans are now spending five thousand dollars a year on gasolina, 0:03:10.177 --> 0:03:13.177 almost double what they did a year ago. Where are 0:03:13.177 --> 0:03:15.377 people supposed to go to get all that extra cash, 0:03:15.897 --> 0:03:18.657 to get the extra cash to pay for gas? Yeah? Well, 0:03:18.697 --> 0:03:20.457 I mean one of the things that we've been very 0:03:20.497 --> 0:03:23.377 clear about is to do everything in our power to 0:03:23.497 --> 0:03:27.177 make sure that we lower costs. You know, it is 0:03:27.217 --> 0:03:30.457 important we see it. The President understands what the American 0:03:30.497 --> 0:03:34.737 people is going through, and that's why we're doing everything 0:03:34.777 --> 0:03:38.057 that we can. We've made multiple announcements in the past 0:03:38.577 --> 0:03:41.177 several several months of what we're doing, whether it's the 0:03:41.177 --> 0:03:45.777 Strategic Petroleum Reserve, whether it's the Ethanol fifteen to make 0:03:45.777 --> 0:03:51.217 sure that the American people are not feeling Putin's price hike. 0:03:51.377 --> 0:03:53.697 This is where this is coming from. Sixty to seventy 0:03:53.697 --> 0:03:56.497 percent of the current price hike that we have seen 0:03:56.577 --> 0:04:01.257 has come from Pune's aggression against Ukraine. Yes, it's Putin's 0:04:01.297 --> 0:04:05.217 price hike. Punine's aggression against Ukraine. You know, don't mind 0:04:05.657 --> 0:04:08.617 your lie in eyes that will read that. According to 0:04:08.697 --> 0:04:12.257 Triple A data, gas has doubled in price since Biden 0:04:12.297 --> 0:04:15.577 took office in January twenty twenty one. While the fifty 0:04:15.577 --> 0:04:18.457 billion dollars war in Ukraine, that war that is still 0:04:18.537 --> 0:04:22.457 going on. By the way, that the DC and the Establishment, 0:04:22.977 --> 0:04:25.457 all of these people have basically printed out all of 0:04:25.457 --> 0:04:28.257 this money to send over there has only been going 0:04:28.377 --> 0:04:31.857 on for four months, by the way, DC crooks, how 0:04:31.937 --> 0:04:34.897 is that going Oh, and don't even think about mentioning 0:04:34.937 --> 0:04:37.977 the fact that one of the first things that Joe 0:04:37.977 --> 0:04:41.377 Biden did when he took office was he killed the 0:04:41.497 --> 0:04:47.697 Keystone pipeline. These policies matter, folks, and these policies are 0:04:47.777 --> 0:04:51.977 what are making your gas in mind that much more expensive. 0:04:52.657 --> 0:04:55.577 Grin Jehan Pierre is so bad it almost makes you 0:04:55.657 --> 0:04:58.377 long for the days of Jensaki, who looked at least 0:04:58.417 --> 0:05:00.457 lied to us without having to check her notes every 0:05:00.457 --> 0:05:03.297 fifteen seconds. It's almost enough to make me want to 0:05:03.297 --> 0:05:08.057 watch her upcoming MSNBC show, just playing nobody's gonna watch 0:05:08.097 --> 0:05:11.137 that show. Taxpaer dollars paid for the Jensaki Show for 0:05:11.137 --> 0:05:13.977 the past year of our lives, and only the brain 0:05:14.057 --> 0:05:18.657 dead executives at MSNBC wanted that one renewed. And of 0:05:18.657 --> 0:05:21.257 course that brings me to the media. Yes, they are 0:05:21.297 --> 0:05:24.777 to blame. And look, I know that it's low hanging fruit. 0:05:24.897 --> 0:05:28.977 As a conservative commentator, political figure, whatevery want to call me, 0:05:29.337 --> 0:05:31.897 I know that blaming the media is low hanging fruit. 0:05:31.977 --> 0:05:34.977 I know that everybody does it. But you have to 0:05:35.057 --> 0:05:38.257 understand we do this for a reason, and the reason 0:05:38.377 --> 0:05:41.457 we do this is because these people are corrupt. These 0:05:41.457 --> 0:05:46.337 people are basically the propaganda communications arm of the DNC 0:05:47.657 --> 0:05:49.897 and onto the media. Like I said, they are to 0:05:49.977 --> 0:05:53.377 blame because when Democrats are in charge in this country, 0:05:53.657 --> 0:05:56.977 it is all propaganda, all the time from these people. 0:05:57.857 --> 0:06:01.297 You're not going to get any sort of real, straight 0:06:01.337 --> 0:06:05.817 down the line analysis from your MSNBC's or your CNN's 0:06:05.937 --> 0:06:09.377 or anywhere else in the world because their jobs and 0:06:09.457 --> 0:06:13.217 the way they see this is to protect democrats in 0:06:13.297 --> 0:06:17.257 the Democrat agenda. First, that comes before facts, That comes 0:06:17.257 --> 0:06:21.177 before truth, That comes before reporting what you were seeing 0:06:21.457 --> 0:06:24.537 with your own two Wise and trust me, folks. I 0:06:24.577 --> 0:06:28.657 went to Columbia University for journalism school. I worked that, 0:06:29.257 --> 0:06:32.457 I have worked at NBC News and Yeah Who News 0:06:32.457 --> 0:06:36.057 in all of these places. I know how the propaganda 0:06:36.097 --> 0:06:39.897 works from behind the scenes. But you gotta say that 0:06:39.977 --> 0:06:42.857 the propaganda that you're seeing right now, this is vastly 0:06:42.937 --> 0:06:46.537 different from when Obama was president. And the biggest difference 0:06:46.617 --> 0:06:49.977 is this, it is equally as awful. In fact, this 0:06:50.057 --> 0:06:54.377 Biden administration is probably even worse than the Obama administration. 0:06:54.857 --> 0:06:57.057 But when Obama's president, no matter what you think of 0:06:57.097 --> 0:07:00.457 the policies, this was a young, good looking dude with 0:07:00.457 --> 0:07:03.497 a nice looking family, right, So the media and the 0:07:03.657 --> 0:07:08.697 entertainment establishment was able to sell this misery with somebody 0:07:08.977 --> 0:07:12.097 that was charismatic enough to sell it. Now, compare that 0:07:12.537 --> 0:07:16.737 to this, so yes and what's a plod because they 0:07:16.817 --> 0:07:23.417 gets somewhere they need to go, oh cackling, cammy. The 0:07:23.617 --> 0:07:27.377 media propaganda wanted you to think Kamala Harris was a 0:07:27.497 --> 0:07:31.177 female Obama. They wanted you to think she was gonna 0:07:31.217 --> 0:07:34.577 come save the day for Black America and white America, 0:07:34.657 --> 0:07:38.177 and he's gonna bring us all together. Instead we got 0:07:38.217 --> 0:07:42.457 this cackling, cringe lightweight who somehow treated like she's above 0:07:42.537 --> 0:07:46.697 any criticism because she's black and female. Now, this media 0:07:46.697 --> 0:07:49.977 propaganda is also used to spread you the lie that 0:07:50.137 --> 0:07:53.377 inflation that you were saying with just poof in the 0:07:53.417 --> 0:07:57.937 thin air. I believe it's transitory, but I don't mean 0:07:57.977 --> 0:08:02.097 to suggest that these pressures will disappear in the next 0:08:02.177 --> 0:08:06.097 month or two. This is an unprecedented shock to the 0:08:06.137 --> 0:08:10.417 global economy. It's led to a huge shift into manned 0:08:10.497 --> 0:08:16.097 away from surfaces and toward goods. These people are so old, 0:08:16.817 --> 0:08:19.817 These people have been doing this for so long. These 0:08:19.857 --> 0:08:22.657 people are so deep in the bubble that they have 0:08:22.857 --> 0:08:27.017 no idea which way is up. These people do not care. 0:08:27.897 --> 0:08:31.457 And the same media propaganda that has given you somebody 0:08:31.497 --> 0:08:35.257 like Janet Yellen, who has been wrong at every major 0:08:35.377 --> 0:08:38.057 turn and is held up as some sort of authority 0:08:38.097 --> 0:08:40.977 on what's going on, these people want you to just 0:08:41.097 --> 0:08:43.497 shut up. If you have a problem with the inflation 0:08:43.577 --> 0:08:46.297 that they told you is going to be transitory. Just 0:08:46.497 --> 0:08:50.137 listen to this Washington Post reporter on of course MSNBC 0:08:50.617 --> 0:08:53.457 telling you to shut up about inflation because hey, you 0:08:53.577 --> 0:08:56.137 still got a job and food to eat. There's a 0:08:56.177 --> 0:09:00.057 great deal of Americans where it is uncomfortable that they're 0:09:00.057 --> 0:09:02.657 spending more, but they are not going to go under. 0:09:03.057 --> 0:09:06.697 You know, you got to stop complaining when there's so 0:09:06.737 --> 0:09:10.417 many people who literally the inflation rate means they may 0:09:10.457 --> 0:09:13.497 only have two meals instead of three. There are Americans 0:09:13.577 --> 0:09:16.657 who did extremely well in the last two years in 0:09:16.697 --> 0:09:19.937 the market. You still have your job, and yeah, it's 0:09:20.017 --> 0:09:22.177 costing you more for guests, but guess what, You're still 0:09:22.217 --> 0:09:24.777 gonna take that holiday, that Fourth of July vacation. You 0:09:24.777 --> 0:09:27.017 could still eat out. So I want to need you 0:09:27.057 --> 0:09:30.217 to calm down and back off because it feeds into 0:09:30.297 --> 0:09:33.257 this fear, and then this fear feeds into people making 0:09:33.297 --> 0:09:37.017 decisions that creates the very thing that they're fearful up. 0:09:37.897 --> 0:09:41.537 These people are ridiculous, These people are liars. These people 0:09:41.657 --> 0:09:45.777 have such a disdain for anybody who's managed to build 0:09:45.817 --> 0:09:49.137 and do something for themselves. It's completely crazy. So you 0:09:49.177 --> 0:09:52.217 should just stop complaining about it. But honestly, the buck 0:09:52.257 --> 0:09:55.217 stops with Biden, who's running this country as easily as 0:09:55.257 --> 0:10:08.417 he rides a bike. But seriously, I honestly believe people 0:10:08.457 --> 0:10:11.217 who voted for Biden wanted a UNI or someone who 0:10:11.217 --> 0:10:15.177 would turn the temperature in this country down. Instead, he 0:10:15.217 --> 0:10:17.217 just kind of yells at us all the time, like 0:10:17.257 --> 0:10:20.937 the angry old man that he is. I don't want 0:10:20.937 --> 0:10:25.137 to hear anymore of these lies about reckless spending. We're 0:10:25.257 --> 0:10:31.297 changing people's lives. Biden and his flax lie and lie 0:10:31.457 --> 0:10:35.577 and lie. But America is hurting. You feel it. I 0:10:35.657 --> 0:10:41.617 feel it. Everyone feels it. And that's the truth. All right. 0:10:41.777 --> 0:10:44.937 Democrat controlled cities around the country are poised to surpass 0:10:45.017 --> 0:10:48.537 twenty twenty ones murder and violent crime rates. We'll have 0:10:48.657 --> 0:10:52.617 more on that with KTT Seattle radio host Jason Rantz 0:10:52.937 --> 0:10:56.857 when we come back. Let's talk about protecting your home 0:10:56.857 --> 0:10:58.737 for a minute. You know that I'm skeptical by nature, 0:10:58.777 --> 0:11:00.657 So when I first heard about home tattle theft and 0:11:00.697 --> 0:11:02.817 the idea that thieves can literally steal your home, I 0:11:02.857 --> 0:11:05.817 was like, really, and some cyber criminal really forged my 0:11:05.897 --> 0:11:07.697 name off the tattle of my home and takeover as 0:11:07.697 --> 0:11:10.417 the new owner. Turns out, yeah, he can as rare 0:11:10.457 --> 0:11:12.777 as you'd think. According to the FBI, This crime is 0:11:12.777 --> 0:11:15.177 growing faster than credit card fraud, and you're not covered 0:11:15.177 --> 0:11:18.657 by homeowners insurance or comment at any theft programs. Home 0:11:18.697 --> 0:11:21.937 tetlelock earned my trust. Home teedlelock puts a virtual barrier 0:11:21.977 --> 0:11:25.137 around your home's title. The instant they detect anyone tampering 0:11:25.177 --> 0:11:27.377 with their homes title, they mobilize to help shut it down. 0:11:27.697 --> 0:11:29.177 Here's what I urge you to do. Number one, go 0:11:29.217 --> 0:11:32.617 to hometetlock dot com and read the testimonials from FBI 0:11:32.697 --> 0:11:36.137 agents and government officials.

That's 0:11:43.017 --> 0:11:50.697 hometetlelock dot com. America may be heading for a summer 0:11:50.777 --> 0:11:53.617 of violence, as a number of major cities across the 0:11:53.657 --> 0:11:57.657 country are on track to surpass last year's rates of 0:11:57.777 --> 0:12:01.817 violent crime and homicide. According to a recent study from Foxnews, 0:12:01.977 --> 0:12:07.097 violent crime is up in the cities of Atlanta, Baltimore, Philadelphia, 0:12:07.217 --> 0:12:11.377 Los Angeles, Washington, DC, and in New York City, where 0:12:11.377 --> 0:12:15.777 it's up a staggering twenty five point eight percent. Wow. 0:12:16.457 --> 0:12:19.377 The city of Seattle, Washington, is also seeing a continued 0:12:19.457 --> 0:12:22.617 rising crime, a statistic made possible by the loss of 0:12:22.657 --> 0:12:25.977 about a quarter of its entire police department over the 0:12:26.017 --> 0:12:28.417 last two years. Let me bring in someone who knows 0:12:28.457 --> 0:12:31.337 a thing or two about this topic. Conservative talk show 0:12:31.377 --> 0:12:38.777 host on KTT in Seattle, Jason Rants, all right, no, absolutely, 0:12:38.817 --> 0:12:43.297 thanks for joining us. Look, Jason, Seattle looks a certain 0:12:43.337 --> 0:12:45.497 way to those of us who kind of just see 0:12:45.577 --> 0:12:47.777 the videos and stuff on Twitter, and we see kind 0:12:47.817 --> 0:12:50.537 of like all the insanity. But you know you live there. 0:12:50.577 --> 0:12:53.897 That's how you know. You've built such a national profile here, 0:12:54.097 --> 0:12:57.417 and so you would know how is Seattle coping with 0:12:57.457 --> 0:13:01.817 this police shortage. Well, so there's two separate issues. Number One, 0:13:02.217 --> 0:13:05.497 the city has gotten significantly cleaner than it has been 0:13:05.537 --> 0:13:08.697 in the past due to a mayor starting to take 0:13:08.737 --> 0:13:12.377 seriously this crisis. On the other hand, at the same 0:13:12.417 --> 0:13:16.417 exact time we have this increase in violence, we have 0:13:16.457 --> 0:13:19.017 an increase in non violent crime as well, and it's 0:13:19.097 --> 0:13:22.257 led in large part to permissive policies, some on the 0:13:22.297 --> 0:13:24.817 city level, some at the state level that basically say 0:13:24.817 --> 0:13:26.857 we're not going to put bad guys where they belong, 0:13:26.977 --> 0:13:30.457 which is in jail, and we have so few cops. 0:13:30.497 --> 0:13:33.177 We have just a little over eight hundred police officers. Now, 0:13:33.337 --> 0:13:36.897 two years ago that number should have been between fifteen 0:13:36.977 --> 0:13:40.377 hundred and sixteen hundred. They've now lowered their goal to 0:13:40.417 --> 0:13:43.937 about fourteen hundred, but we're still very long ways away 0:13:43.937 --> 0:13:46.937 from there, and we're very clearly not keeping up with 0:13:47.217 --> 0:13:50.217 the need because frankly, not only do we have a 0:13:50.257 --> 0:13:53.057 retention problem, but we have a recruitment problem, and ither 0:13:53.097 --> 0:13:56.097 thing is really being done that's working. Yeah, So I 0:13:56.137 --> 0:13:58.977 have a question. So these shortages that we're talking about 0:13:59.057 --> 0:14:01.337 right now now, are these things that have happened over 0:14:01.377 --> 0:14:03.897 the past couple of years. Are these things that have 0:14:03.897 --> 0:14:06.457 happened CENTERLA over the past decade. And what I'm trying 0:14:06.457 --> 0:14:08.577 to ask is how much of this stuff is directly 0:14:08.577 --> 0:14:11.857 related to all of the defund the police and sort 0:14:11.897 --> 0:14:14.417 of anti cop rhetoric we've been hearing from the left 0:14:14.457 --> 0:14:16.857 over the past couple of years. Yeah, over the course 0:14:16.857 --> 0:14:19.577 of the last two years, it's definitely accelerated. But this 0:14:19.737 --> 0:14:23.097 was a problem going into the defund movement, where they 0:14:23.097 --> 0:14:26.017 were still short staff, but nowhere near where they are now. 0:14:26.017 --> 0:14:29.217 We've lost somewhere around four hundred and fifty officers just 0:14:29.297 --> 0:14:32.657 in the last two years, and that really started to surge, 0:14:32.697 --> 0:14:36.697 this exodus around the time of the BLM movement and 0:14:36.777 --> 0:14:39.497 all of the riots that we were pretending are mostly peaceful. 0:14:39.817 --> 0:14:42.177 And then beyond that, you have, of course, the politicians 0:14:42.177 --> 0:14:45.417 who constantly are upping the rhetoric, almost as if it's 0:14:45.457 --> 0:14:48.657 a competition to see who can be the most anti cop. 0:14:48.977 --> 0:14:52.177 And when you're constantly calling cops racist, and then you 0:14:52.217 --> 0:14:56.057 have the national conversation and rhetoric around police officers, it's 0:14:56.097 --> 0:14:58.537 hard for a lot of folks to say, yeah, I 0:14:58.577 --> 0:15:01.697 want to get into this as a job or stay 0:15:01.817 --> 0:15:03.937 in this as a job. And so we saw so 0:15:03.977 --> 0:15:06.657 many people just deciding to either leave some of the 0:15:06.697 --> 0:15:09.417 big cities like Seattle, New York, LA. All of these 0:15:09.417 --> 0:15:12.337 cities have been having this problem, but others are just saying, yeah, 0:15:12.377 --> 0:15:14.617 I just don't want to do this anymore. It's not 0:15:14.657 --> 0:15:18.057 worth it all right. So, Washington State is one of 0:15:18.097 --> 0:15:22.017 several jurisdictions that has banned police from chasing criminals, which 0:15:22.057 --> 0:15:25.497 is crazy. Um. In a recently recorded nine one one call, 0:15:25.617 --> 0:15:28.777 a man actually calls the police on the police for 0:15:28.937 --> 0:15:34.257 chasing them. Take a listen, and my wifefended and the 0:15:34.617 --> 0:15:37.697 illegal Purswe the capital tend that people they're not plased 0:15:37.737 --> 0:15:40.097 to be able to change illegal they can have not 0:15:40.297 --> 0:15:47.537 changed if there's an illegal. You know, I don't mean 0:15:47.577 --> 0:15:51.097 to laugh, but it's all so crazy when you think 0:15:51.137 --> 0:15:53.617 about it. So I want to ask you how are 0:15:54.057 --> 0:15:57.417 cops on the streets in Seattle, UM dealing with these 0:15:57.497 --> 0:16:01.617 kind of restrictions. I mean, they're upset that they're saying, 0:16:01.657 --> 0:16:03.817 you are not allowing us to do our jobs. In 0:16:03.857 --> 0:16:05.657 the case of that audio that you just played, because 0:16:05.657 --> 0:16:07.417 I broke that story. When I heard that audio for 0:16:07.417 --> 0:16:08.937 the first time, I was like, oh my gosh, it's 0:16:08.977 --> 0:16:12.377 really in capital encapsulates what this problem is. Where you 0:16:12.897 --> 0:16:16.457 make these different changes to laws. They're not happening in 0:16:16.497 --> 0:16:19.057 a bubble. The criminals actually know that. And so what 0:16:19.137 --> 0:16:22.377 cops are saying now is that they're seeing the behaviors 0:16:22.377 --> 0:16:26.457 of criminals starting to change, which means they can't effectively 0:16:26.497 --> 0:16:29.697 do their jobs and or it's more dangerous for them 0:16:29.697 --> 0:16:31.977 to do their jobs. So in the case of that audio, 0:16:32.057 --> 0:16:36.257 this suspect's name is Isaac Sissel. He was accused of 0:16:36.337 --> 0:16:40.657 holding his girlfriend hostage in that car with a weapon. Thus, 0:16:40.777 --> 0:16:42.977 under the law, it's a little bit of a gray area. 0:16:43.057 --> 0:16:46.257 But the police said, actually, we can in fact chase 0:16:46.337 --> 0:16:49.617 you in this case because it's the probable cause for 0:16:49.737 --> 0:16:52.777 a violent crime, and there's some nuances with Washington state 0:16:52.817 --> 0:16:55.497 laws it relates to domestic violence. So they decided to 0:16:55.537 --> 0:16:58.417 go ahead and chase anyway. They ended up making the 0:16:58.497 --> 0:17:00.497 arrest and he's going to be charged it looks like 0:17:01.017 --> 0:17:02.937 officially and it's going to go through the process. But 0:17:03.217 --> 0:17:05.897 you know, there are criminals who are very clearly taking 0:17:05.897 --> 0:17:08.177 advantage of the law as is written. That's why we're 0:17:08.217 --> 0:17:12.137 seeing a ten thousand percent increase in catalytic converter theps 0:17:12.137 --> 0:17:14.657 in the state of Washington since twenty nineteen. If you 0:17:14.657 --> 0:17:17.657 can commit a crime very quickly, get in your car 0:17:17.777 --> 0:17:19.657 and just drive away, you don't even have to speed away. 0:17:19.897 --> 0:17:22.457 Police cannot chase you. The only way that they can 0:17:22.537 --> 0:17:26.657 chase you is if there is amongst a few examples 0:17:26.697 --> 0:17:29.257 of probable cause for a violent crime. So I'm gonna 0:17:29.257 --> 0:17:31.457 have to this very high bar. So I'm going to 0:17:31.537 --> 0:17:33.697 ask you this a quick one and then a little 0:17:33.737 --> 0:17:36.617 bit along one quickly. This defund the police rhetoric and 0:17:36.657 --> 0:17:38.377 all that stuff. Now we know that this is coming 0:17:38.417 --> 0:17:40.817 from the clowns on the national stage, right because it 0:17:40.817 --> 0:17:43.217 helps them get Twitter followers and raise money and all 0:17:43.257 --> 0:17:45.337 that other stuff. How much of this stuff is coming 0:17:45.377 --> 0:17:50.097 from the local politicians on the ground. Well, actually, Seattle 0:17:50.177 --> 0:17:52.617 is one of those exceptions to what you just said. 0:17:52.977 --> 0:17:55.217 There are a lot of folks on the ground, activists 0:17:55.217 --> 0:17:57.977 and and in the Seattle City Council who were pushing 0:17:58.137 --> 0:18:00.297 very hard to defund the police, and they created a 0:18:00.297 --> 0:18:02.457 whole bunch of problems along the way, as we've seen 0:18:02.457 --> 0:18:04.457 not just here but across the country. When you defund 0:18:04.457 --> 0:18:07.177 the police, Hey, gus, what crime surges? So we actually 0:18:07.297 --> 0:18:09.657 did have It's still i think a minority voice as 0:18:09.657 --> 0:18:13.897 far as the general population, but they were pushing and 0:18:13.937 --> 0:18:18.297 they saw some significant wins as far as their agenda goes. Interesting, 0:18:18.497 --> 0:18:22.017 all right, So recently San Francisco, DA, Tessa Boudine was 0:18:22.057 --> 0:18:26.817 recalled in La County, DA. George Gascon is facing a 0:18:26.897 --> 0:18:30.097 similar effort. Do you think the pendulum is swinging back 0:18:30.137 --> 0:18:32.937 toward a tougher stance on crime in the cities, Like, 0:18:33.017 --> 0:18:35.497 do you think that the people that live in these 0:18:35.497 --> 0:18:38.577 cities are just getting tired of the rhetoric because it's 0:18:38.617 --> 0:18:42.137 making their streets so much more dangerous. Yeah, the question 0:18:42.217 --> 0:18:45.377 is whether or not you're seeing this regional momentum, which 0:18:45.497 --> 0:18:49.297 very clearly is happening. I mean San Francisco, that's progressives. 0:18:49.297 --> 0:18:50.937 I know that Chessa Boudin wanted to pretend that it 0:18:50.977 --> 0:18:54.057 was all this conservatives who are doing Conservatives clearly were 0:18:54.057 --> 0:18:57.057 not responsible for what happened with the recall because there 0:18:57.097 --> 0:19:00.977 are very few in San Francisco. So from a regional 0:19:00.977 --> 0:19:03.577 perspective or a local perspective, you're seeing it, especially in 0:19:03.617 --> 0:19:08.257 San Francisco. The question is will that extend nationwide? And 0:19:08.297 --> 0:19:10.377 I don't know the answer to that yet, because there 0:19:10.377 --> 0:19:12.417 are two issues that you have to compete with. Number One, 0:19:12.497 --> 0:19:17.937 the George Gascon recall is significant. This has been the 0:19:18.097 --> 0:19:21.137 general campaign that the national media has paid the most 0:19:21.137 --> 0:19:23.337 attention to. Yeah, they talked about Jessibudine, but it was 0:19:23.377 --> 0:19:25.497 really always about George Gascon. He's got a much bigger 0:19:25.577 --> 0:19:30.217 name recognition. If that fails, I fear that the momentum, 0:19:30.257 --> 0:19:33.337 at least from the media framing of it, is going 0:19:33.377 --> 0:19:36.377 to shift towards the negative. Because we're putting so much 0:19:36.417 --> 0:19:41.577 pressure on voters delivering in Los Angeles County because George 0:19:41.577 --> 0:19:44.297 Gascon and what he stands for. Beyond that, let's say 0:19:44.337 --> 0:19:46.817 the momentum continues to stay in this direction, which I 0:19:46.857 --> 0:19:50.377 certainly hope it does. Just because you recall George Gascon 0:19:50.537 --> 0:19:53.137 doesn't mean you got rid of some of the judges 0:19:53.377 --> 0:19:56.417 who have gone very easy on criminals. Just because you 0:19:56.537 --> 0:19:59.657 win a couple of elections on a council level doesn't 0:19:59.697 --> 0:20:02.537 mean that you've shifted all of the power dynamics to 0:20:02.617 --> 0:20:04.737 the side that doesn't want to be found or doesn't 0:20:04.737 --> 0:20:06.977 want to go light on crime. So we're not going 0:20:07.057 --> 0:20:11.137 to see a shift take place overnight, at least publicly 0:20:11.217 --> 0:20:13.977 that the voters might not experience that. And I just 0:20:14.377 --> 0:20:19.097 I caution folks to understand it takes time. You Democrats 0:20:19.137 --> 0:20:22.777 talk about institutionalizing things, well, they've institutionalized all these laws 0:20:23.057 --> 0:20:26.057 and policies and that's not easy to undo. So we 0:20:26.137 --> 0:20:27.737 just got to make sure that we're sticking with the 0:20:27.777 --> 0:20:31.857 momentum even after some wins, because the change doesn't happen overnight. 0:20:32.497 --> 0:20:36.537 All right. Always always a pleasure, always very informative. Jason 0:20:36.657 --> 0:20:39.817 Rands from Seattle, thank you very much for joining us. 0:20:40.377 --> 0:20:43.977 Thank you.

Yes, it is Pride month now, the 0:22:03.217 --> 0:22:08.297 annual time that the LGBTQI AK plus plus Yes that's 0:22:08.297 --> 0:22:12.137 a real acronym sort of spreads their joy all over 0:22:12.217 --> 0:22:14.217 the world. But look over the past several years it 0:22:14.297 --> 0:22:18.337 has become especially controversial. Editor has moved away from a 0:22:18.377 --> 0:22:23.577 message of love and acceptance to now sexualizing young kids. 0:22:24.177 --> 0:22:26.857 In the past few weeks, outrage has poured out from 0:22:26.897 --> 0:22:30.577 Pride events held across the country and Dallas, an event 0:22:30.657 --> 0:22:34.857 called Dragged the Kids to Pride had young children handing 0:22:34.897 --> 0:22:39.657 money to twerking drag queens with bright neon lights, saying quote, 0:22:39.977 --> 0:22:44.457 it's not going to lick itself. And in San Francisco, 0:22:44.537 --> 0:22:46.897 a middle school held a drag show with a crowd 0:22:46.937 --> 0:22:51.057 of students cheering on for the performer. So as sexualizing 0:22:51.137 --> 0:22:55.657 young kids the right response and message Pride months should 0:22:55.657 --> 0:22:59.177
