jason rantz. jason, tell us a little bit about what's going on here. >> it's rather absurd bill.er current law, a drive by murder, if charged with first degree could be considered aggravating incident, which would mandate a sentence of life in prison without parole. if you are just getting charged for first degree murder, it's not mandated. usually you are serving between 20 and 30 years. what they are trying to do terra simmons one of the state lawmakers herself a felon who ended up on the state legislature and david hathy another state both democrats getting rid of ago vaghts factor. drive by murderers being likely to get 20 or 30 years all about racial equity. no data to back up nothing to do with racial equities at this time. simmons claims this has been used to go after young black men. that's just not true. in fact, incredibly rare to see this as an aggravated first degree charge. and by the way she acknowledges that. she claims it's only been used once. i don't know if that's actually true. she has not given us any data as to the source of that. let's assume it is true. th

jason rantz is a radio host in the pacific northwest and i he joins us now. punishing drive-by shootings racist? >> it is not racist but they sae apparently it has been used to go after drive-by shooters as it was intended and they just happened to be black. that is the argument that they are trying to make.pe that is the only argument that they could try to make, but obviously if someone is white and is committing a drive-by shooting, they too would be subject to the exact same law, so as it stands, this bill basically says it can no longer be considered an aggravating issue concerning first-degree murder charge. the aggravating factor makes it a mandatory life sentence without parole, so instead, you would be hit with a murder one charge, and that generally is 20-30 years punishment, it could be life in prison but that generally doesn't happen. the funny thing about this is this particular aggravating murder charge isn't used very often. in fact, one of the lawmakers behind this, tara simmons, herself by the way a convicted felon who madeke it into the ste l

jason rantz, radio host in seattle. you heard from cynthia mullen there, the u.s.cial who resigned over this whole controversy. let's pick up on her words. swimming is a sport in which bodies compete against bodies. men will always be faster than women. do you think thomas should be allowed to compete? >> ultimately no. i think that we should be making sure that when we have women's sports and men's sports unless we are going to make them co-ed you should be biological with the gender that you are competing. i think it is correct to say that your identity, while it is an important part of an individual's personality and who they are, it doesn't necessarily reflect the gifts that they were given when they were born into a certain gender. the party of science, the party that tells us constantly that we have to -- doctors are telling us to ignore all of the studies, ignore all of the science that clearly indicates that generally speaking men when it comes to sports are better than women. it doesn't mean that women aren't good athletes. it doesn't mean there are some m

jason rantz from seattle radio talk show host. hello to you, sir.ut in portland. this thing has gone 180 degrees back in their face. >> look, portland is dealing with a staffing crisis that the city created. you had a mayor and council defunding the police by over $15 million. they ended up villainizing these cop. allowing antifa radicals to attack them without the ability to actually defend themselves. huge numbers of these officers quit the force. they're down 150 officers. the truth of the matter is they only have 855 cops in that police department for a city the size of portland and as you point out dealing with record high homicide rates they need several hundred more than that. the police department believes they need 1100 officers to keep the city safe. at the same time what you saw was a huge decrease in 911 call operators to the point where you are waiting up to five minutes in some cases to get an emergency call just picked up. so you are already delayed calling 911. the delay is significant and officers getting to the site of the emergenc
