Podcast appearances and mentions of katie wilson

Constitution to Collectivism: Mamdani and the Road to Venezuela traces the slow, deliberate transformation of the United States from a constitutional republic built on individual liberty into a society increasingly shaped by collectivist ideology. Beginning with the New Deal era, the episode examines how emergency powers, federal expansion, and welfare-state policies permanently altered the relationship between citizens and the government. What was once sold as temporary relief became a permanent structure. Over decades, dependency replaced self-reliance, bureaucracy replaced local authority, and central planning crept quietly into everyday life. The podcast then turns to the present moment, where a new generation of political figures and activists no longer conceal their ideological goals. Through public statements, policy positions, and ideological alignment, the episode argues that figures like Zohran Mamdani and Katie Wilson represent an open embrace of democratic socialism as the next phase of this long march. Finally, the episode draws a cautionary comparison to Venezuela, not as a rhetorical scare tactic, but as a documented case study of how collectivist policies dismantle free markets, collapse economies, and consolidate power in the state. The warning is clear: nations do not fall all at once. They decline by degrees, by good intentions, and by the steady normalization of government control.Email: thefacthunter@mail.comWebsite: thefacthunter.comFact Hunter Radio is now available on the App Store for iPhoneShow Notes:We can arrest a foreign leader over him allegedly owning guns. https://x.com/barnes_law/status/2007507184662278313?s=46&t=ytitK_qmWZMvJd0lLKbt- Brilliant from jamiekaler!

3pm: Video Guest – Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson // Katie Wilson, sworn in as Mayor on Friday, takes the helm of the City of Seattle after winning November’s election by 2011 votes // Seattle Police Officers Guild says city leadership directive halts open drug use arrests // Unpacking Katie Wilson’s first JCS interview as mayor // Enjoy your last look at John Curley 1.0… or is it 1.5?  JC 2.0 begins tomorrow

Seattle's new socialist mayor just called fraud investigators 'extremist influencers' while hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars disappear into ghost Somali daycares. You read that right. Katie Wilson issued a statement defending alleged fraudsters instead of demanding answers about why these 'daycares' have no children, no car seats, and luxury vehicles in the driveways. We're talking $800,000+ per facility with zero kids present. Meanwhile, YouTubers like Nick Shirley, Cam Higby, and Jonathan Cho are doing the actual journalism—knocking on doors, asking questions, and exposing what could be a multi-billion dollar fraud scheme stretching from Minnesota to Washington State. The same pattern seen in the $9 billion Medicaid fraud is now playing out in childcare subsidies, and Seattle's mayor responds with 'I stand with Somali childcare providers.' Are you kidding? When did asking 'where are the children?' become extremism? Why won't officials investigate facilities pulling in taxpayer money with zero accountability? Is this the biggest cover-up in recent Washington history? Drop your thoughts below, hit subscribe, and let's keep exposing government waste together.

Happy 2026, patriots this is the make or break year. Either we finally see arrests, fraud exposed, mail-in ballots dismantled, voting machines secured, and power returned to We the People… or America goes down in flames. Elon Musk, is calling out the Democrat voter fraud playbook he knows where the bodies are buried. Joe's latest post fires back: “I feel like Elon is heating up to finish the job of securing the nation.” The left's media cartel is in panic mode, with Denver Post smearing Joe's gubernatorial run and Kyle Clark hiding behind blocks while relentlessly attacking him and Tina Peters.Leighton Grey, KC constitutional powerhouse, King's Counsel, and host of Grey Matter Podcast joins us to break down the war on truth and liberty. From leading national class actions for the unvaccinated and vaccine-injured to authoring Laws, Lies, and Liberties, Leighton reveals how governments codify lies into law, the ongoing assault on Charter rights, and the hope (or lack thereof) for restoring justice through the courts. His insights expose the global pattern of authoritarian overreach and why Canada's fight mirrors America's.Meanwhile, NYC's new Mayor Zohran Mamdani, product of stolen elections was sworn in with foreign music, sparse crowds, and a bold promise of “expansive and audacious” big government. He's surrounded himself with grifters, BLM advocates like Jumaane Williams (who lost his home to foreclosure after $1M debt), and convicted felon Mysonne Linen overseeing public safety. Seattle's new socialist mayor Katie Wilson demands “progressive revenue” (more taxes), while San Francisco floats reparations. Democrats are pushing a vendetta, not solutions and Republicans aren't serious enough to stop them. This is the blueprint. Wake up, fight back, or lose it all.

Dare we think that the New Year holds tremendous promise for progressive change?Yes! As practically every pundit notes, Trump's White House menagerie of billionaires, grifters, haters, prima donnas, and ideological kooks has soured even many MAGA faithful. More importantly, grassroots progressives have been organizing and mobilizing across the country, and – like eager ball players looking forward to a good season – they're pumped up!So, what could go wrong?Don't look now, but the National Democratic Party's “Washington Club” of high-dollar donors, clueless consultants, corporate lobbyists, and old-line politicos are still controlling much of the Party's money, strategy, and message. Possessing all the magnetism of their go-slow leader, Chuck Schumer, their game plan is the same as always: Run a Big Money, don't-rock-the-boat, Washington-based campaign, shove-aside grassroots activists, rely on negative attack ads, and tell everyone (again) that Trump will defeat himself.As Casey Stengel wailed when he managed the comically inept 1962 New York Mets baseball team – “Can't anyone here play this game?”Luckily, though, those insider losers are no longer our real Democratic team. While they've been piddling around in Congress playing wiffle ball with the Trumpers, Bernie-style progressives have been rebuilding the Party of the People in every state with hard-hitting, slick-fielding, big-league DEMOCRATS.And voters are responding with an enthusiastic YES! From Coast to coast – already lifting Zohran Mamdani to victory in New York, Katie Wilson in Seattle, and state legislative races in Iowa, Georgia, and Mississippi.Let's keep pushing to make 2026 the year we quit moaning about the lackluster Democratic Party… and turn it into the bright new majority party.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

It’s the last week of 2025 and so much happened! Our summer was defined by a rogue rat mosaic in Cal Anderson Park. Starbucks closed its fanciest store in Seattle: the Capitol Hill Roastery. Seattle’s nude beach Denny Blaine now has a fence between the clothed and unclothed. And Seattle elected its youngest mayor ever while pushing out its more moderate incumbents. There’s a lot to reflect on, and thankfully our friends over at Week in Review took the time to look back on the year for their Year in Review event. Bill Radke hosted the panel of Libby Denkmann, Phyllis Fletcher, and Sandeep Kaushik. Mayor elect Katie Wilson and Attorney General Nick Brown were there too.

Today, we’re bringing you the best from another KUOW show, Soundside… It’s been a busy year for the Seattle Police Department. A new chief was sworn in, the longstanding federal consent decree ended and the city reached a new contract with the Seattle Police Officers Guild that changes how it can approach unarmed crisis response. Plus, a new mayor will take office in January. Mayor-elect Katie Wilson announced this week that she planned to retain Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes, despite some rumors to the contrary. Soundside's Libby Denkmann talked with Barnes last week. Listen to more Soundside interviews here.

We have no clue what 2026 holds, but that hasn't stopped us! The annual "Seattle Nice" prognostication episode returns with Publicola Co-Founder Josh Feit to offer hopes and predictions for the city's 2026. The main event: Mayor-elect Katie Wilson's looming tenure. Will she defy her critics and steer a progressive agenda with pragmatic, results-oriented grit? We're all optimistic.  The discussion also gets into Seattle's biggest flashpoints including the need for greater police accountability, and the role of the CARE Department. We also talk over ideas to tackle density and affordability, including a “sprawl tax” (or “urban pass”). Finally, the conversation shifts to the quiet crises plaguing the city: dimming transparency at city hall, the struggle for a vibrant nighttime economy, and an accountability deficit in the city's public education system. Our editor is Quinn Waller. Send us a text!

Ryan Packer, Amy Sundberg, and Doug Trumm discuss the Federal Way Link light rail opening in early December, Katie Wilson's transition team and early hires, and the Seattle City Council's vote to approve a controversial labor contract with the Seattle Police Officers Guild.

Plus, a new mayor will take office in January. Mayor-elect Katie Wilson announced this week that she planned to retain Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes, despite some rumors to the contrary. Soundside's Libby Denkmann talked with Barnes on the morning of Thursday, December 11th, about the incoming administration, the recent policing shooting in Othello, and more. Note: Starting at 7:45 in the interview, Barnes cites several statistics about a drop in crime. We asked SPD for more information about the decreased crime percentages, and they said Barnes is referencing the first 11 months of 2025 compared to 2024. But in reference to homicides, the information SPD gave us cites 2019 as the last comparable year, and the reduction is actually 36 percent, instead of 35 percent, as Barnes states.

On this four-year anniversary episode of Seattle Nice, we dissect two major policy and political battles, starting with the contentious Seattle Police Officer Guild (SPOG) contract. Passed by a narrow and unusual 6-3 City Council vote, the contract gives officers significant raises— a 42% increase overall— without requiring key accountability measures. We also discuss Mayor-elect Katie Wilson's decision to retain Police Chief Sean Barnes, and the Trump administration's erratic moves on homelessness funding. Our editor is Quinn Waller. Send us a text!

Now that the dust has settled on the November election, it's time to dig into the analysis, the issues facing our newly elected leaders, the what-does-it-all-mean conversation Seattleites are surely having right now. Political and public affairs consultant Sandeep Kaushik helps us unpack everything.  Jon and Sandeep discuss the Trump effect on our local elections; the idea of issue paralysis; the affordability agenda and contributing factors to a pricey Seattle; Mayor-elect Katie Wilson as an ‘outsider mayor'; a possible narrowing of the gap between far-left and center-left and much more. Join us for Seattle City Makers with Jon Scholes and guest Sandeep Kaushik.

The Urbanist Podcast is back after a hiatus, just in time to break down 2025 election results. Urbanist-endorsed Katie Wilson pulled off a comeback in late returns to win the Seattle Mayor race. In this episode, Urbanist publisher Doug Trumm and reporter Amy Sundberg discuss results in Seattle and other interesting races across the region, including Tacoma, Bellevue, Kirkland, and a progressive sweep in Burien.

Here we go again - while the House condemns socialism, Seattle just elected a 43-year-old socialist mayor who still needs mommy and daddy's money to pay her bills. You literally can't make this stuff up. We dive into Katie Wilson's campaign reveal that her parents give her $2,200 monthly for childcare, the House resolution passing 285-98 condemning socialist policies, and why Seattle's about to become the perfect real-time experiment in socialist failure. Meanwhile, drug addicts have taken over iconic park benches with World Cup views while Starbucks closes 11 locations thanks to progressive policies. Is anyone surprised that the same policies driving California to lose a taxpayer per minute are now being embraced by Seattle voters? What did they think would happen when you elect someone who admits she has zero experience running anything, let alone a $9.4 billion budget with 40+ departments? Subscribe for more coverage as we watch this socialist experiment crash and burn in real time - because when it fails spectacularly, we'll be here to document every painful moment.

Learn about the latest in local public affairs in about the time it takes for a coffee break! Brian Callanan of Seattle Channel and David Kroman of the Seattle Times discuss the political priorities (and future challenges) of the new city budget, a controversial piece of legislation from outgoing City Council President Sara Nelson, some insights regarding Mayor-elect Wilson's transition team, a concern regarding the transition to a new City Attorney, and a sale of two decommissioned state ferries that isn't going as planned.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano exposes the rapid rise of Democratic Socialism in the United States following the victories of Zohran Mamdani and Seattle's Katie Wilson, breaking down why this movement is gaining momentum and what it truly means for America. Professor Giordano reveals how millions of voters, especially younger Americans, are embracing socialism, only to be sold a lie that promises Scandinavian welfare but delivers Venezuelan control.  He breaks down how the Democratic Socialist platform calls for public ownership of industry, government control of major institutions, and the abolition of capitalism according to their own documents. This episode delivers a clear warning, a deep dive into the DSA and Green New Deal agenda, and why Republicans ignore this movement at their own peril. Episode Highlights A breakdown of why Democratic Socialism is rapidly expanding and why the victories of Mamdani and Wilson signal a national ideological shift. A detailed examination of the Democratic Socialist platform, including calls for government control of production, media, housing, education, and the abolition of capitalism. A compelling analysis of how America's cultural, economic, and educational decline created fertile ground for socialist ideology, and what conservatives must do to counter it.  

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Seattle Mayor-elect Katie Wilson said now that she has been elected mayor and is earning more money as a result, she no longer needs to ask her parents for help to pay the bills. The 43 year old Wilson, who recently told CNN she thought embracing the help she got from her parents made her more "relatable" to Seattle voters, quipped on social media that, "after much deliberation and a grueling interview process," she was "pleased" to announce that her higher salary as mayor will mean she no longer needs financial support from her parents. Also, audio from The View on Jasmine Crockett's "walk back" on referring to a different Jeffrey Epstein, Lee Zeldin on Jasmine Crockett's lies and President Trump's liability on affordability. Also September's jobs report shatters records and angry sports reporters.

Marjorie Taylor Greene speaks at a presser organized by Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie, alongside a group of Epstein survivors. Donald Trump's approval rating with Latinos has plummeted. I wonder why? ICE has invaded Charlotte, North Carolina, and the response has been fast and robust.

Iowa's rivers run brown, its cancer rates climb, and its politics tilt redder. Pulitzer Prize-winning editor Art Cullen joins to discuss his new book Dear Marty: We Crapped in Our Nest — Notes from the Edge of the World, Iowa, which serves as both lament and call to arms for a farm state choking on its own abundance. Cullen traces how corn and hogs became economic lifelines and environmental nooses, and explains why Democrats keep losing ground by talking culture instead of livelihood. Plus: the American Dialect Society's newly crowned Word of the Year, "6–7," and how linguistic weirdness keeps getting more political. The Spiel: Seattle's mayoral race, where Bruce Harrell's incumbency fatigue meets Katie Wilson's thrift-store populism and the post-Trump urge to loathe whoever's in charge.
