May Day...

I’m starting to think there would be a lot of wisdom in cutting the West Coast off from the rest of the country. I’m all for Washington being cut in half. I would move to eastern Washington.

The madness here in Seattle; Seattle is lost. It’s going to turn into Detroit. It will. Detroit used to be the “emerald of commerce.” And look what happened. It was taken over by big labor and the left, and now it’s horrifying.

We need to keep these insane far-left policies out of our city before the same thing happens to Seattle that happened to Detroit.

We’re going to have planned riots this coming Monday for May Day. Why can’t we shut this down before it happens?

I think these violent protesters are Kshama Sawant’s foot soldiers. If they are not, Sawant should come out and distance herself from these people instead of calling for blocking freeways and shutting down airports.

Portland cancelled their Rose Parade because of the possibility of violent protesters and anarchists. Do we want these people to be running our cities, let alone our country?

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
