About this episode

The episode discusses the negative consequences of Seattle's socialist policies as the mayor dismisses the exodus of wealthy residents and businesses.

Seattle's progressive leadership reaches a new level of arrogance. The city's mayor was caught on camera laughing and waving 'bye' to the wave of businesses and wealthy residents abandoning the city due to her socialist policies. While she cackles from her office, the economic fallout is becoming a disaster for the everyday citizens left behind. Rising crime, rampant homelessness, and a collapsing tax base are the real consequences of these failed experiments in governance. We break down the viral moment and expose the devastating impact these policies are having on one of America's formerly great cities.
