About this episode

Brandi Kruse discusses the Seattle drug crisis and critiques local political leadership and media integrity.

The solution to Seattle’s drug crisis is simple – if the socialist mayor had political will. Washington state has spent $50,000 to keep conservative journalists from getting press passes. Local NPR station lies, lies, lies. Think moving to a small town will shield your kid from insanity? Think again.
