Podcast appearances and mentions of katie wilson

Amy Barden, director of the city's Community Assisted Response and Engagement (CARE) department.Barden has been on the job for just over two years, running the city's 911 operations while also setting up an unarmed team of social workers who respond to emergency calls that don't require police—the CARE Team.The CARE Team is expanding to 48 members this year, and their size will no longer be capped under the city's contract with the Seattle Police Officers' Guild (SPOG), which has historically resisted reducing the duties that legally have to be performed by police, like directing traffic and responding to 911 calls. But the contract also includes new constraints on CARE that limit where the team is allowed to go and when they have to back off and call police. CARE can't help people if there are signs that they've recently used drugs, for instance, and they aren't allowed to go inside most buildings or respond to people inside cars.We asked Barden about these constraints, along with the requirement that SPD sergeants decide who to send out on crisis calls that come in to 911—police, CARE, or community service officers, civilian SPD staffers who respond to minor issues but lack the mental health and crisis response training of the social workers who make up the CARE team.We also talked about how CARE has evolved in its first 28 months, what happens when people call 911 for a person in crisis, and Barden's hopes for the team under new mayor Katie Wilson and a more progressive City Council.Our editor is Quinn Waller.Send us a text!

Liberal losers are protesting over the ICE shooting in Minneapolis, putting their lives on the line to protect Somali fraudsters. Some are actively calling for people to take up arms against ICE. Protests in Iran have broken out, as people call for an end to the current regime. People in Iran seemingly feel emboldened by President Trump giving freedom back to Venezuela and now want the same for themselves. For years, the Democrats have called the “great replacement” a hoax, but now you have socialist mayor of Seattle, Katie Wilson, calling for illegals to vote. Ashley St. Clair was scorned by Elon Musk, and now she seems to have completely changed her mind about trans people. Musk believes she's now threatening to transition their 1-year-old child and is suing for custody. ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTexas?sub_confirmation=1 Sponsors: ► Beam Organics Go to https://www.shopbeam.com/SARAG and use code SARAG to get 40% off Beam's Dream Powder. ► Join the BlazeTV FamilyGo to https://www.blazetv.com/sara and use code SARA to save $20.

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!

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.

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!

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.

In this episode, we chat with author, graphic designer and avid savvy traveler Katie Wilson about her incredible 16th-anniversary trip to St. Martin, planned entirely using points and miles—but with a twist! Katie shares how they booked flights, hotel stays, rental cars, and excursions with points, keeping their out-of-pocket costs under $600.

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.

Jason Rantz, host of The Jason Rantz Show on Seattle Red 770AM, joined The Guy Benson Show today to break down the now-concluded Seattle mayoral race between incumbent Bruce Harrel and challenger Katie Wilson. Rantz explained why left-leaning voters were always bound to side with Wilson because of Harrel's failed promises and shortcomings, and shared why he believes Wilson is "well intentioned" but ultimately misguided. He also called out Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal's hypocrisy amid the recent government shutdown, noting how she slammed Republicans went home during the shutdown - as she headed back to Seattle during the shutdown.

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.
