jason rantz, radio show host joins me. >> thanks for having me.: the mayor of your city referred to violence, vandalism, rioting, as summer of love. homicides surging and police budget cuts can we imagine a winter of love. >> think about the tragic irony of this. as seattle city council was debating how much more they defund the seattle police there was two stabbings. up with was a person walking in downtown seattle, stabbed in the neck. the good news he is okay. the bass news, the second stabbing was a caseworker working in a essentially a place facility for formerly homeless people who are getting help to get their lives back in order. she was stabbed to death. this was happening while we were talking about cutting more funds from the police. we have 55 homicides this year. that is up for context, from 28 last year. this is the highest we've had in at least 12 years. things are not going well in seattle but i can't say that i'm surprised by these statistics. gerry: what's the political reaction, jason? we just had an election where a lot of demo

jason rantz, radio host and not city, has joined us tonight. jason, what is this? a group out in edmond, about 20 minutes north of seattle. it's a group of people who were essentially squatters that believe that the laws of the land do not apply to them. and they've decided to go into neighborhoods, waterfront properties, very nice homes saying that they actually own the land and they should take it over. the homeowner is usually like "what are you talking about, please leave." it's very bizarre. it's not just have been in puget sound, it's happening all across the country. a man decided to literally take ownership to decide he's not going to pay rent on property that he doesn't actually own. it's part of, i think, this nationwide trend of laws thatly really don't apply to certain folks. in this case, they are not activists. they are just kind of nullity. >> this is illegal. once you see that, that means hate, you wanted, it is yours. i want it. it's mine. i'm about to start the process on reclaiming the land. you k can keep paying rent, you can think this is a gam

jason rantz, thanks for expanding that. it was worse even than i imagine. >> it is.tucker: this country has some of the most beautiful cities in the world. washington, d.c., strip away the nonsense, is a beautiful place. there are many others. but the federal government has, for decades, intentionally desecrated our cities with that architecture. not architecture that is in bad taste come architecture that is designed to offend and alienate you. it is ugly on purpose, for ideological reasons. it is an attack on beauty, which, in the end, is one of the most important things, beauty, it matters. no one says that, but it's true. in washington, the j. edgar hoover at the building pennsylvania avenue. it wrecks the day of everyone who walks past. in cincinnati, there is something called the john wells passed federal building. it houses the internal revenue service. for johns while peck, it doesn't matter what he did on this earth, he did not deserve a building like that. the new bureau of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms building in two built in 2008, it's horrifying. who i

joining me now seattle-based radio show host jason rantz. jason thank you for joining me.or having me. heard the mayor of your fair city referred to is going on there, the violence, vandalism, the writing jenn love. is the summer of no seat homicide rising with the budget being cut. to be expected winter of love to? ut i would imagine so pray think of the tragic of desperate they were debating how much more there going to deep on the seattle police. there were two stabbings brewed by the stabbings was a random person walking in downtown seattle, stabbed in the neck. the good news is he's going to be okay. the badges is that second stabbing was a caseworker who was working on essentially a facility for formerly homeless people who were getting help to get their lives back in order. she was stabbed to death. this was happening while we were talking about cutting more funds from the police. we have 55 homicides this year. that is up for context from 28 lastth year. things are not going wellin seattle. i can't sam surprised by these statistics. we just had an election here whe

let's bring in market guy jason rantz, jason let's talk about what happens if democrats win back theased on what's happened in georgia. if they do, we know they will raise taxes particularly on capital gains. exactly how will they target capital gains and how will it affect the markets? >> good morning, david. it's truly a binary events and while that trip wire is fairly low and we don't think democrats will sweep, anything can happen and stranger things have happened and with respect to capital gains , think about how it would drain liquidity from the capital market, how it would hamper innovation. i manage money for a living for ultra high net worth people and they would be dis- and that it-- deuce incentivized for risk taking and that risk-taking that fuels that ipos and innovation , so it's a slippery slope here with respect to this taxing not to mention corporate earnings that would get hit by 5%. david: and there was actually one proposal, i don't know if biden signed off on this, probably hasn't yet because he's been holding his cards close to the chest, but where you could be

they didn't explain, so we invited jason rantz to do so. he is a radio host in seattle. hey, jason.jason. you all you have to do is say you are homeless or mentally ill. what this bill essentially does is carve out a legal loophole f that allows for crimes to address "basic needs" beers or what that means is you go ahead and break into a car, you steala radio, you sell it, that gives you a pass, as long as you say i was stealing it and selling it because i need to buy food. proponents will tell you, like lisa herbold, the council member behind this, this is about stopping the criminalization of the poor, which is of course absolutelyly absurd. i defy anyone, literally anyone, to find me the case of the mother who is stealing baby formula for her starving kid, or the guy who just can't get by because he doesn't have food. we are not prosecuting those people. what we are talking about here are the ones who take a piece of cement, throw it into a storefront, steel bicycles, go into stores in the middle of broad daylight and steal a whole bunch of stuff. that's what we are talking about

jason rantz is a radio host of expert on the dying cities of the west coast. th this racially targeted reimbursements for these patios? >> it's kind of what we've been seeing across the country. slap the term equity in front of it and basically it gets you a pass to say we were going to choose who to help on the basis of race. of course if you were to same we are only going to help white people, there would be outraged. there should be outrage. that would be outrageous. this is social engineering. this is "we have too many successful businesses that are not diverse enough in san francisco," what we're going to help the ones that are struggling. the problem is literally every business in san francisco, like much of this country is struggling, at least if your restaurant. this is the perfect intersection of thoughtless covid policy and progressive incompetence when it comes to homelessness. first you essentially force restaurants to pay out of their own pocket. it's the only way they can stay open and survive but using no data to justify your position you end up

jason rantz, good to see you. and with that, we are out of time and sean hannity takes over.e a great night. >> sean: i don't want to jump the gun here. todatoday just hear what you sa? i think i heard it right. you get what you put up with. that's the truth. you let your kids smoke weed at the breakfast table, guess what, they will. so how's that? >> sean: listen to tucker, mom and dad. welcome to "hannity." we start tonight's foss mike fox news alert. this is important and it is now getting beyond interesting. requesting to join what is becoming a major texas lawsuit contesting the election results, specifically about g

wallace, congressional committee communications director macro men, and seattle radio talk show host jason rantzseattle, who is not part of the initial discussion last month was the exception that allows for the reselling of stolen goods to raise money for a basic needs. if somebody stole a bunch of cell phones and intended to resell them to repay their rent that would apply to that defense according to a staff member and the council there. jason? >> yeah, they're way they're talking about it is absurd and it's insane. if 1% going to lead to more crime and it's not merely saying or giving a pass, they're codifying a policy that's already in place and they basically don't go after crime in the city of seattle. they're codifying this which means once we get somebody in the position to actually change things in the attorney's offense, it will be that much harder to change a policy because the council is trying to for future generations to just completely change the scope of the law here. it will not end well. >> shannon: one of the reports i saw set up to 10 100 misdemeanors, not felonies, but the

let's bring in jason rantz, host of the jason rantz show in seattle.to commit crimes against local businesses and then city council is telling the businesses suck it up, we don't really care about you? >> pretty much. they're basically saying you have a legal excuse if you are trying to go after a basic need, which simply means you are excusing yourself saying there were no legal alternatives for you to have. but it has been so lopsided in this conversation. even the seattle city attorney's office is saying can we at least not have the individual who is homeless or dealing with some sort of mental illness have to at least acknowledge on the record they believe they had no legal alternative? and they are saying no, that's a little too far. what that means for practicality sake if they rob a grocery store on the same block as a food center that's literally handing out food for free to the homeless, they can still get away for going after that grocery store. it is pretty maddening. >> trace: the definition of what's a crime and what's not is so wide that

one is jason rantz host of the jason rantz show in seattle. jason welcome.screen the oregon measure, the drug decriminalization and addiction treatment initiative. folks know what it is that you are so passionately writing about. a yes vote supported making personal non-commercial possession of a controlled substance no more than a class e violation, max fine of $100 and establishing a drug addiction treatment and recovery program funded by the state's marijuana tax revenue and state prison savings. you are writing about how this is effectively legalizing drugs, jason. >> it does effectively legalize drugs. they do it under the idea that they are going towards a harm reduction model. they are moving away from criminalizing addiction but unfortunately it is causing more harm than good. we've seen in the pacific northwest more generally a permissive attitude toward illicit hard drugs, heroin, meth, opioids that are actually killing people. what we end up doing by saying hey, you are not going to see any jail time whatsoever if you are caught with heroin or met

jason rantz joining us now, host of the jason rantz show on the radio in seattle.plain why do you think that this would eventually push the city even further to the left? >> because there is no way with the political environment that we have going in seattle that any semblance of a moderate democrat can actually step up and withstand the pressure of the activist crowd. jenny durkin was not a shoe in but as an incumbent you have an edge and relatively well liked. maybe not well respected but well liked by some of the silent majority of seattle. i can't imagine there will be any moderate democrat who will want to step up and withstand the pressure coming from the activist community that has been willing to literally go to your home and bully you into submission. what we've been seeing on the ground is a bunch of politicians likely going to announce they're running for mayor trying to play indicate the activist class. even making absurd promises to defund the police by 50% or simply saying i'm going to hand over my political agenda to the people who have been rioting/

let's pretend to be curious and go to jason rantz. fire and pouring gasoline on it. how could they possibly rationalize cutting the police budget? >> they rationalize it because in seattle the counsel and mayor's office driven by. so radical activists in the community. right now they have the ear of the black lives matter movement and various antifa organizations or antifa activists who have been rioting or excuse me peacefully protesting for the last several months. so they have been putting on the pressure. they have been leaning on this counsel. they got the council to agree to 50% glass half full they didn't get to the full 50. they are committed to 50% long term they cut 18 right now. brian: jason, i'm not sure i have to tell you that they wanted 50% cut. and they plan on cutting funding for police training. the exact opposite from george floyd they wanted to modernize police training. maybe extend it. got rid of overtime and eliminated dozen of positions of people who just walked off the job. in the last week or so we hear from j

jason rand, host of the jason rantz show in seattle. crime is up, watch, hundred and 16%?ic shift. >> yeah, and its pacific. we are talking about shootings, homicides and you know, it doesn't take a lot of serious brainpower to understand why. there is a connection between ending the violence reduction team and the gun violence we have seen in the city of portland. i don't mean to be dismissive, but simple cause and effect. you can extend the same logic. one we slow our internet speed down because we don't want to pay for it, guess what, it takes longer to download stuff. when you go after the team of police officers that are going after the problems concerning gun violence, guess what, more gun violence happens. we are talking about gang violence that's driving these numbers. the politicians they are decided to give into the mob of people, asking them to defund the police. over the summer they got rid of this team and now they're suffering the consequences. the chief of police can talk about asking for the community to step up, that's not going to do the job that trained
