00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to another episode of the Chicks on the Right podcast. Today,

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,200
we have a very special guest. It's Brandy Cruz. She's

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:12,279
host of the Undivided podcast. She is a recovered TEDS sufferer.

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,919
Recently she participated in the roundtable at the White House

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,160
about Antifa violence. And we'll get to that roundtable in

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,800
just a second, but first we want to hear what

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,879
cured you of your self described TDS.

8
00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 2: Gosh, time, a lot of time. Apparently it took maybe

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,679
almost ten years. I didn't come around to President Trump

10
00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:38,280
until about two weeks before the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

11
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,679
And I'd been slowly being red pilled, but not like

12
00:00:41,799 --> 00:00:43,399
quite to the extent that I could let go of

13
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:45,359
my TDS. I mean, I live in Seattle, and I've

14
00:00:45,679 --> 00:00:48,679
I had been a mainstream journalist in Seattle for ten years,

15
00:00:48,759 --> 00:00:51,679
almost ten twelve years, and so I think getting out

16
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:53,799
of that environment, I decided to quit that job in

17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,799
TV news in November of twenty twenty one to launch

18
00:00:56,799 --> 00:00:59,159
my independent show. And I think you don't realize the

19
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,759
extent to which you're in this really toxic echo chamber

20
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,880
until you're out of it, and you can start to

21
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,359
sort of think for yourself a little bit. So I

22
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,439
think that helped quite a bit. But there were also

23
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,400
some really pivotal moments for me where I realized how

24
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:15,519
deeply dishonest the media ecosystem was. The coverage of the

25
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:17,959
twenty twenty riots and what we saw in Seattle was

26
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,359
pretty bad. To see it downplayed was mind boggling to me. Also,

27
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,959
the coverage of the pandemic, the real inability or lack

28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,040
of desire to question anything that the government was doing

29
00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:30,799
despite the profound impact it was having on people's lives.

30
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,879
I thought, that's not what our role is supposed to be.

31
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,480
And so as I started to lose faith and trust

32
00:01:36,599 --> 00:01:40,040
in the media, I was able to see through a

33
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:42,840
lot of what they said about President Trump and it

34
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,519
was like this veil was just ripped off, and I

35
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,640
was like, wow, this is so much more pleasant. I mean,

36
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,079
I'm still critical of him in some areas. I was

37
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,159
critical of him on the show yesterday, but I don't

38
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,400
take him literally anymore. And that was the key. I

39
00:01:56,439 --> 00:01:59,040
had to stop taking the media seriously, and then I

40
00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:02,480
had to stop taking the president literally everything he said,

41
00:02:03,519 --> 00:02:08,560
and life just became a lot better, easier, and really

42
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,680
just more productive for me to not spend so much

43
00:02:10,719 --> 00:02:13,319
time dwelling on the occupant of the White House.

44
00:02:13,479 --> 00:02:15,199
Speaker 3: Did people turn on you, like, did you have a

45
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,599
lot of friends that were kind of in the same

46
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,439
camp as you, and then when you decided to start thinking,

47
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:26,840
you know, just on your own terms, did they reject that?

48
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,599
Speaker 2: I mean, I had family members and really clear, I

49
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,479
was never far left. I was never I would I

50
00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:35,800
would never have considered myself a Democratic mad I voted

51
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,439
for Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen, I voted for Joe Jorgensen,

52
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,319
the Libertarian candidate for president in twenty twenty because I

53
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,080
just wanted my freedoms back during the pandemic, and then

54
00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:47,879
voted for Trump in twenty twenty four. So I've always

55
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,400
been right of Seattle Center that might be a cuckoo

56
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,000
liberal and another area. So I was always independent. Mind,

57
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,400
I've always considered myself an independent. But when I went

58
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,400
to the White House, specifically, I mean when I decided

59
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,520
to vote for Donald Trump, certainly I had people who

60
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,599
cancel their subscriptions to our show. Yeah, I wouldn't watch

61
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,919
it anymore, wouldn't pay for it. Nothing. And then after

62
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,719
I went to the White House. I actually had a

63
00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:18,680
pretty significant falling out with family members who questioned my integrity,

64
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,840
questioned you know, thought I was doing it for money

65
00:03:22,199 --> 00:03:26,199
or it was just wild to see, and didn't like

66
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,280
the assertion that if I said I was cured from TDS,

67
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,360
that must mean they still have TDS. And of course

68
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,439
they think that they're absolutely on the right side of

69
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,439
history and Donald Trump can do nothing right. So it's actually,

70
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,759
I mean, between us and your viewers, obviously. I mean,

71
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,199
I spend quite a bit of time after my White

72
00:03:43,199 --> 00:03:47,240
House trip in tears over a fallout with a family

73
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,240
member who I've you know, obviously known for thirty seven

74
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,240
years of my life, and it was really really hard

75
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,879
for me. But I'll also say in this period of time,

76
00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:59,520
the last year, I've learned a lot about how do

77
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,639
I say that, I've learned a lot about how difficult

78
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,680
it probably was to be a Trump supporter all those

79
00:04:04,759 --> 00:04:07,560
years for people. And I think at times I was

80
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,199
very sanctimonious about Donald Trump and probably a little condescending

81
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,039
toward people who supported him, and a little alienating. And

82
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,800
so now I'm getting a little bit of a taste

83
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,920
of my own medicine, and it makes me feel very

84
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:21,120
bad for how I probably acted all those years.

85
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: That's some interesting self reflections though. Yeah, and you know,

86
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,040
we're excited to hear about how you and other citizen

87
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,839
journalists were received in that roundtable and what you think

88
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,639
is going to come of it, Like, were there specific

89
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,360
actions that were outlined that they said, thank you for

90
00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:42,199
what you've said, and here's what's going to happen next.

91
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I will say antifa in left wing violence

92
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,319
is an issue that is incredibly important to me to

93
00:04:49,399 --> 00:04:51,240
raise awareness for. And it was even when I was

94
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,480
in mainstream news Seattle. I always told people, I joked

95
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,920
that my full time job was covering protests and riots.

96
00:04:57,879 --> 00:05:01,399
It's just a thing in Seattle, and and leadership in

97
00:05:01,439 --> 00:05:04,959
the Pacific Northwest, Seattle, Portland, they just accept some level

98
00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:09,279
of left wing violence as just a regular course of life.

99
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,160
It's so strange. And this goes back to when I

100
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:13,839
first came to Seattle as a really young journalist. I

101
00:05:13,879 --> 00:05:16,199
was covering crime and justice and that was around the

102
00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:18,879
time the Occupy movement was taking off. It was pretty

103
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,480
bad here and then that rolled into we had annual

104
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,399
May Day riots along with marches for worker and immigrant rights,

105
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,279
and then of course, the BLM movement, the takeover of

106
00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:31,199
six blocks of the city. I had been assaulted personally

107
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,759
on numerous occasions, watched my crew assaulted. We were mobbed

108
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,600
the night that the Autonomous Zone CHOP as it's been

109
00:05:37,639 --> 00:05:40,160
called in Seattle was formed. Had to seek refuge in

110
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:43,560
a fire station. More recently, in June, I was attacked.

111
00:05:43,639 --> 00:05:46,120
Somebody tried to blind me with wasp killer outside the

112
00:05:46,439 --> 00:05:50,319
DHS facility in Tequila, south of Seattle. So I've had

113
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:52,639
a lot of over fifteen years. I was sort of

114
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,120
public enemy number one for ANTIFA in the Pacific Northwest

115
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,519
for a long time. So to be able to go

116
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,079
to the White House and just at the very base level,

117
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:04,040
have someone as powerful as the President and the head

118
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,600
of the FBI and the head of DHS and dj

119
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,199
cares so much about raising awareness for that issue that

120
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,439
they'll have us there to talk about it was deeply

121
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,000
meaningful to me, and so I appreciate that. Beyond words,

122
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,800
the message I wanted to get across to those gathered

123
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,879
at the White House was basically like, we got three

124
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,800
and a half years. I don't I'm not we weren't there.

125
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,879
I wasn't there to get the media to believe that

126
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,399
Antifa is a real thing. That is a fool's Errand

127
00:06:33,079 --> 00:06:36,000
I wasn't there to convince the American people. Don't care anymore.

128
00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:39,160
I've tried fifteen years to convince, like Seattle people that

129
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:41,480
this is a real problem. I don't care to do

130
00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:43,600
it anymore. I just want them to come down with

131
00:06:43,639 --> 00:06:45,720
the full weight of the federal government and do anything

132
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,279
we can in three and a half years to fix it.

133
00:06:47,519 --> 00:06:51,920
Have they done that. No. I think that me and

134
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,639
some other participants of the White House panel have been

135
00:06:54,639 --> 00:07:00,800
outspoken Nick Sorder, Julio rosis Andy No, that we'd like

136
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,160
to see a little bit more bite. You know, certainly

137
00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:06,360
there's a base in Texas that they're trying to build

138
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,959
that I think is significant. But I mean Portland continues,

139
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,360
you know, maybe not to the extent it was, but

140
00:07:12,399 --> 00:07:15,360
we still have these factions. You know, I haven't seen

141
00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:18,279
any significant uptick in arrest they have. One of the

142
00:07:18,279 --> 00:07:20,279
things that was requested during the panel that they just

143
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:28,439
did was declare Antifa a terror organization globally. They should yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,

144
00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:30,639
that's something a lot to be done, And you know,

145
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,079
the panel was what more than a half ago.

146
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: So maybe right, you know, you say, like you're the

147
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,800
most important thing was wasn't getting people to just recognize

148
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,240
that it's a thing that there are so many people

149
00:07:41,279 --> 00:07:43,480
on the left, like a lot of our leaders that

150
00:07:43,519 --> 00:07:45,800
were saying, oh, no, they don't even exist. You know,

151
00:07:45,879 --> 00:07:48,560
we could show a compilation of those people. But if

152
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,480
you are we know they exist. But if you are

153
00:07:51,519 --> 00:07:55,560
talking to you know, just regular people out there in America,

154
00:07:56,199 --> 00:07:59,879
and what would be the most surprising thing to the

155
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:05,199
people to like Jane and Joq America about Antifa and

156
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,240
what they're doing and what they continue to do.

157
00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: Well, it's not spontaneous. It's not spontaneous in terms of surprising.

158
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,399
I mean the ties to the unions. I mean, I

159
00:08:17,439 --> 00:08:19,800
really believe and I've tried to tread lightly because I

160
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,240
don't want to be sued by by the big unions,

161
00:08:22,759 --> 00:08:26,920
but I really have been consistently shocked by the number

162
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,319
of people who are arrested for riot adjacent crimes who

163
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,440
are members of the teachers' union, the Washington Education Union. Yeah.

164
00:08:34,639 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 3: I was going to ask, like who's behind it, Like

165
00:08:36,519 --> 00:08:40,639
who's where's the money coming from, Who's behind it, Who's teacher?

166
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,279
Speaker 2: I'm not saying they're funding it directly. But you know,

167
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,480
for instance, one of their favorite things to do here

168
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:49,720
is blockade things, right, And they've slowly elevated and escalated

169
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,120
that kind of activity over the years because there's no consequence,

170
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,320
Like they're like, Wow, we can block a city street,

171
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,480
none of us get arrested. Okay, great, what's next, Oh,

172
00:08:57,639 --> 00:09:01,879
let's block a bridge that worked. Fine's let's block Interstate

173
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,440
five in downtown Seattle during rush hour for five hours,

174
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,879
no consequences. Let's block the entrance to Seattle Tacoma International

175
00:09:09,919 --> 00:09:13,600
Airport with very few consequences as well. And it always

176
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,120
surprised me the number of people who are unmasked as

177
00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:19,399
public school teachers. And I'm like, that's not a coincidence. Okay,

178
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,440
that's not a coincidence. Yea. Then how do.

179
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,399
Speaker 1: People there not get sick of that when they're obviously

180
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:25,799
personally impacted.

181
00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 2: Why do they tolerate it? Gosh, that is the million

182
00:09:30,159 --> 00:09:33,799
dollar question. In the moment, they don't. In the moment

183
00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:36,279
they're angry about it. You know, for instance, when I

184
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:37,960
five was blocked, I want to say it was for

185
00:09:38,039 --> 00:09:40,120
five hours, could have been more or less, but it

186
00:09:40,159 --> 00:09:42,679
was around there and people were angry about it, and

187
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,200
there were ambulances that couldn't get through. They were blocking

188
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,879
the area right before the off ramp to the region's

189
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,200
most prominent trauma center where people are brought in life

190
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,240
or death emergencies. God, and you know, I think the

191
00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:01,279
thing is there's twofold citizens usually only know what they hear, right,

192
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,480
and so the media's treatment of these these incidents is

193
00:10:05,799 --> 00:10:10,159
paramount towards shaping the public's understanding of what happened, and

194
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,559
the media just downplays them. I mean, you would never

195
00:10:12,759 --> 00:10:15,639
see them treat these instances in the way they do

196
00:10:15,759 --> 00:10:17,559
if it was right wing. If it were right wing,

197
00:10:17,759 --> 00:10:19,559
like if the Proud Boys showed up and took over

198
00:10:19,639 --> 00:10:22,240
six square blocks of the city of Seattle, patrolled the

199
00:10:22,279 --> 00:10:24,519
area with aar fifteen rifles that were handed to them

200
00:10:24,519 --> 00:10:25,879
out of the trunk of a car by a guy

201
00:10:25,879 --> 00:10:29,679
who dibbed himself the Chop Warlord, and surrounded a police

202
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,639
precinct that it had to be abandoned. How many how

203
00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:33,159
many freaking days do you think that would have been

204
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,639
allowed to? My gosh, one hour and our governor and

205
00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:41,039
the mayor and every member of Congress and the Democratic

206
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,720
side would have had a press conference, they would have

207
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,279
sent in the National Guard in the state police. No here,

208
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,480
because it's left wingers. They let it happen for a

209
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:52,720
month until people were killed there. Maybe it's maybe it's done.

210
00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:54,840
I mean our mayor called it the summer of love,

211
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,720
like get a grip if anyone can. And this is

212
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,480
the kind of stuff I'm talking about that made my

213
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:03,720
red pillow is like we had been through six months

214
00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:07,840
in twenty twenty a violent left wing extremism, cop cars

215
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,559
on fire, and downtown Seattle. People might remember this scene

216
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,240
of a guy who turned out to be a security

217
00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:16,720
guard a marine disarming two Antifa riders of stolen police

218
00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:18,360
rifles that they'd taken out of a cop car. That

219
00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:21,519
was my security guard, who like people mind a potted plant.

220
00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:23,799
It was like, stay here, and then comes back with

221
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,480
these two police rifles that he disarmed of these riders,

222
00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:29,879
and they're even downplaying that kind of activity. It was

223
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,639
crazy to me. And then January sixth happened and I

224
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,679
was like, yeah, that's embarrassing. But then the media treated

225
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,360
it so significantly different yeah than what happens Sattle. I'm like,

226
00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:42,240
wait a second, why is that so much different? That

227
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,720
everything that you down even had city council members up

228
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,679
on the front lines in the lead up to Chop

229
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,559
encouraging the violence, and I'm like, now you want me

230
00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:56,200
to be angry about January sixth? It just is crazy.

231
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:56,919
It was crazy.

232
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 3: I remember living through all the like the Chaz and

233
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,720
the Chop been making fun of them when we were

234
00:12:01,759 --> 00:12:05,240
on the radio. It was just nuts. So like, is

235
00:12:05,279 --> 00:12:07,360
that do you think that's the most unhinged, Like what

236
00:12:07,399 --> 00:12:10,919
would be the most unhinged Antifa story that you could

237
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,159
tell thus far?

238
00:12:13,159 --> 00:12:14,759
Speaker 2: Oh, it has to be chesstop. I don't know how

239
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,840
U is it that one is? Yeah, I mean it has

240
00:12:16,879 --> 00:12:19,120
to be Chaz Chop And there's so many elements of

241
00:12:19,159 --> 00:12:23,320
that that are so you know, hypocritical, from the characterization

242
00:12:23,399 --> 00:12:25,600
from our mayor Jenny Dirk at the time, who went

243
00:12:25,639 --> 00:12:27,279
on CNN and said, who knows, it might be a

244
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:31,039
summer of love. As they're evacuating a police precinct literally,

245
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,559
you know, I was on Fox thirteen, which is the

246
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,039
local Fox affiliate at the time. I was our political reporter,

247
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,960
and I had sources telling me that police were about

248
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,960
to abandon the East Police Precinct, which is in an

249
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,879
area of the city known as Capitol Hill, very dense

250
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,480
needs a police precinct there because of the crime issues,

251
00:12:49,159 --> 00:12:51,440
and the police department. The mayor's office denied it. No

252
00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:53,399
we're not, No, we're not. An hour later, I get

253
00:12:53,399 --> 00:12:55,240
a call I stand by my reporting. Hour later, I

254
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,600
get a call from my photographer who was on scene

255
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,120
sort of staged in an area. He said, hey, Brandy,

256
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,360
just backed U haul trucks up to the garage of

257
00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:06,399
the East Precinct. They're moving out a bunch of stuff,

258
00:13:06,399 --> 00:13:10,960
including plaques off the wall. They are reporting, and then

259
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,039
they're literally taking out you know, Gonzama, all these things.

260
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,360
They're taking plaques off the wall. An hour off. I mean,

261
00:13:17,399 --> 00:13:19,639
it was it's just insane. I mean. And then they

262
00:13:19,639 --> 00:13:22,080
abandoned the area. They're nowhere to be found, and they

263
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,879
leave this core area of the city completely at the

264
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,480
at the up to the wheel of these far left extremists.

265
00:13:30,519 --> 00:13:34,080
And I mentioned the there was a guy named God

266
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,080
I can't remember his name. He was the Chaz Warlord,

267
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,919
chop Chazz they called it one. I can't remember what

268
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,879
he's like. He pulls up, they pull up this vehicle,

269
00:13:43,919 --> 00:13:46,960
pop the trunk and they're recording this and streaming it

270
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,080
out live. They're proud of it. And he's got all

271
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,159
these air fifteen rifles and keeping mind, our state had

272
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,320
just banned the sale of these, so this had there

273
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,519
had just been along. So you have these democrats who

274
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,879
for years, including at the time our attorney general who's

275
00:13:59,879 --> 00:14:03,320
now our governor, Bob Ferguson, very anti weapon of war,

276
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:08,279
right and loan the chop warlord, handing them to just strangers.

277
00:14:08,279 --> 00:14:10,440
He'd wave people over, some of them didn't even look eighteen,

278
00:14:10,759 --> 00:14:13,559
and he'd hand them a gun and they'd go around

279
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,600
the Chop and they'd set up barricades with just crap.

280
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,320
They stole bikes and all sorts of stuff, and they'd

281
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,080
sit there with their guns and they'd dictate who could

282
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,879
come and go, Oh my gosh, which is crazy because

283
00:14:25,879 --> 00:14:28,039
you think about what they were there protesting against, you know,

284
00:14:28,039 --> 00:14:31,799
a police state, right, yeah, police use the force. Those

285
00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:36,759
same chop security guards like shot and killed a teenager

286
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,320
and so it's just like, wait a second, you think

287
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,240
police used two force too quickly, yet you murdered someone,

288
00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:43,960
and that it's never been solved.

289
00:14:44,039 --> 00:14:45,679
Speaker 3: But it just makes it makes sense.

290
00:14:45,879 --> 00:14:48,919
Speaker 2: Make it makes sense. You can't, does it? Just make

291
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,120
your head explode.

292
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,519
Speaker 1: Then when you hear prominent democrats, I mean I can

293
00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:54,639
think of one off the top of my head.

294
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:54,879
Speaker 2: JB.

295
00:14:55,039 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: Pritzker just completely denying the existence of Antifa writ large,

296
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,960
like they just won't even acknowledge what we all see

297
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,799
and hear with our own eyes and ears.

298
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, and to a point, I'm like, I don't even

299
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,440
care if you call them antifa, Like, Okay, is that

300
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,840
tripping you up? You know, is that is that a

301
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,080
problem for you that we gave them a name. Okay,

302
00:15:17,159 --> 00:15:19,480
let's not give them a name. Then, let's just call

303
00:15:19,559 --> 00:15:23,240
them left wing extremists, because now they're focusing on that

304
00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:27,000
little thing like, oh, antifa just stands for anti fascists,

305
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,840
Like antifa is just a figment of our imagination. Okay,

306
00:15:29,879 --> 00:15:33,120
let's just set a decide. Okay, let's just call them.

307
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,480
Let's judge them and arrest them and prosecute them, not

308
00:15:36,559 --> 00:15:39,519
based on a label, but based off of their actions.

309
00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:42,600
And I think that's appropriate, right. But you know, even

310
00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:44,879
when we were doing that, they still will find a

311
00:15:44,879 --> 00:15:47,159
way to excuse it in some way and to downplay

312
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,480
in some way. So they just look for whatever convenient

313
00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:53,159
angle they can to deflect in this case, it's oh Antifa,

314
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,200
that's not even a real thing, and so you just

315
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,320
got to keep bringing the issue back to their actual

316
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,919
behavior and their actions. But you know, in Seattle, I

317
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,639
witness firsthand many of these are the same people, and

318
00:16:03,679 --> 00:16:06,480
they're anarchists at their core, right, and maybe we call

319
00:16:06,559 --> 00:16:10,960
them anarchists, and they just want the total like takedown

320
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,279
of the government of any sort of structure. They want anarchy,

321
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,240
and they're at everything, it doesn't matter what it is,

322
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,639
bashing and windows of the Amazon ghost stores because down

323
00:16:20,679 --> 00:16:26,559
to capitalism, like they're there, they're there, they're there. They

324
00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:30,159
just want anarchy and so they're going to show up

325
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,279
whenever there's an opportunity to carry that out. Yeah, and

326
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,720
they travel right like there.

327
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: It's the same people that are going from city to

328
00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:38,519
city just causing chaos.

329
00:16:38,679 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I asked That's one of the specific things I

330
00:16:40,879 --> 00:16:43,440
asked the White House at the Antifa roundtable is I

331
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,320
want you to take as many of these cases as possible,

332
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,519
but also to look into the interstate travel aspect of this,

333
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,440
because we have Antifa that they make calls online on

334
00:16:51,519 --> 00:16:54,399
discord channels to come back and forth between Seattle and

335
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,559
Portland and provide basically mutual aid to Antifa, like, hey,

336
00:16:58,639 --> 00:17:00,960
let's go down to Portland, let's come up to Seattle.

337
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,840
And so we've seen an awful lot of that, and

338
00:17:02,919 --> 00:17:05,960
I think it puts their activities squarely in the purview

339
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,240
then of the federal government. But I also think, you know,

340
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:11,319
one of the things, for instance, and I'm selfish in

341
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:14,039
this regard, but I want the FEDS to take my

342
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,400
case from the Tequila police department involving a masked individual

343
00:17:18,519 --> 00:17:21,480
who use wasp killer to try to blind me have

344
00:17:21,559 --> 00:17:25,039
an anti ice protest. I don't think local police have

345
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:30,160
the tools and the frankly the resources to be able

346
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,480
to try to track and identify that individual who cover

347
00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:35,559
their identity so well. But one of the reasons I

348
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,400
want them to do cases like that, we need to

349
00:17:38,519 --> 00:17:42,119
show that putting a mask on is not going to

350
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,680
is not going to guarantee that you don't end up

351
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,160
in prison. And I think, yeah, Central Department, I mean,

352
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,799
look at what they did with January six, right, not

353
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,960
that I you know, look, I think January six was

354
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,839
an embarrassment, and for any conservatives who tried to downplay it,

355
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,519
like if this had been BLM they did the exact

356
00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:00,480
same thing, you would also still be talking about it.

357
00:18:00,519 --> 00:18:03,400
Okally so, but I do believe that those people were

358
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,119
politically prosecuted in the sense that like I've watched left

359
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,319
wing extremists get off the hook with all sorts of

360
00:18:08,319 --> 00:18:09,880
things with maybe a slap on the wrist, and you're

361
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,519
talking to as and so I agree with that. But

362
00:18:12,519 --> 00:18:14,119
if you assaulted a police officer, I don't think you

363
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,440
should have been pardon But when you look at how

364
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,960
they track those people down, they've basically used federal resources,

365
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,960
you know, FBI, DJ and they found who was all

366
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,960
on a cell phone in this vicinity during this time.

367
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,880
They literally years later were tracking down those people, showing

368
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,400
up at their doors, including in Washington State saying, hey,

369
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,400
your cell phone is being used in the vicinity of

370
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,960
the capitol on January six, twenty twenty one. What were

371
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,640
you doing there? And so you're telling me the same

372
00:18:38,759 --> 00:18:41,000
FBI and DOJ can't do that with the people who

373
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,039
were outside the ice facility a t quilla. You're telling

374
00:18:44,039 --> 00:18:46,759
me the FBIDJ can't do that. With what's happening in Portland.

375
00:18:47,079 --> 00:18:50,119
You have the same technology, probably even better now five

376
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,599
years later, you're the same DOJ, the same FBI. So

377
00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:55,279
if you could use those tools to track down years

378
00:18:55,319 --> 00:18:57,759
later every single person in the vicinity of the US capital,

379
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,839
certainly you can do it for the anti ice terrorists.

380
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's just a matter of do they want

381
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,319
do they want to do that? You know what I mean? Yeah,

382
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,440
So a last thing for me, I don't know. You

383
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,920
may have another questions. Okay, and if at the round table,

384
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,440
I know, you get to meet a lot of really

385
00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:18,759
cool people. Did you meet Trump? And if you did,

386
00:19:18,839 --> 00:19:21,720
what was the most surprising thing about him in your opinion?

387
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 2: Well, he was in rare form. He was you know.

388
00:19:26,799 --> 00:19:29,000
One of the coolest things about that moment for me

389
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,039
wasn't even being there for Antitha to talk about it.

390
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,240
That was the day that they had a piece deal

391
00:19:34,279 --> 00:19:37,359
in the Middle East. And so I'm sitting we're in

392
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,680
this U form right. Yeah, cameras are on the President,

393
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,599
but off to my left, I'm on the very end

394
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,359
of the you. So there's these double doors that are open.

395
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,079
If you're not familiar with the White House, Like right

396
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,640
when you come in the main entrance and there's this

397
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,039
long hallway, these double doors are open, and I glance

398
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,559
over and I see Marco Rubio in the double doors,

399
00:19:53,599 --> 00:19:55,480
you know, maybe twenty thirty minutes in, and I'm like,

400
00:19:55,519 --> 00:19:57,440
that's weird. And he looked like he's trying to look

401
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,160
at the President, like trying to get his attention. Go

402
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,680
to the Andy No next to me. I'm like, something

403
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,240
is going on and Andy, oh my gosh. And then

404
00:20:04,279 --> 00:20:06,359
we look back and the vice president has joined him

405
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,640
and they're pacing, and the Vice president's on the phone

406
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,519
and they're pacing, and then all of a sudden, Trump

407
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:13,839
calls in Marco Rubio and he goes, oh, Marco's here,

408
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,640
come on in Marco. And Mark's like, oh, good god,

409
00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:20,559
this is not not the moment. And so then he

410
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,480
sits down and he whispers. You have that picture where

411
00:20:23,519 --> 00:20:25,640
he's whispering to the president kind of very similar like

412
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,839
George Bush nine to eleven. Yes, right, And I'm like,

413
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,519
what is happening? And they announced basically they got peace deal.

414
00:20:31,599 --> 00:20:33,559
So I shared that just to say that. The President

415
00:20:33,599 --> 00:20:36,119
had to leave the room pretty quickly. We didn't get

416
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,160
time to really mingle with him afterwards, but I did

417
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,200
get and this is, you know, one of the coolest

418
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,279
experiences of my life. People made a lot. The left

419
00:20:44,279 --> 00:20:46,240
wing media made a lot of him calling me very

420
00:20:46,279 --> 00:20:49,680
attractive because I said that I made a joke that

421
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,960
I'm the one who brought up my looks. I made

422
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,119
the joke that getting rid of life is better without tds.

423
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,599
I said something to the fact. Up I'm you know, happier, healthier,

424
00:20:58,759 --> 00:21:01,640
more successful, and I'm might even be a little more attractive.

425
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,559
So he was playing off of you very attractive, and

426
00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:12,920
the left wing media characterized that as creepy or whatever. Okay,

427
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,880
my husbands, like the president of the United States thinks

428
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:22,440
my wife's very attractive. So he's leaving, right, and I'll

429
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,279
just always remember this. He's leaving and he comes across

430
00:21:25,319 --> 00:21:27,759
our side and he's shaking hands really quick going down,

431
00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:30,519
and he stops and he does the you know how

432
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,680
sometimes with world leaders. He'll pull him in. Yes, takes

433
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,119
my hand. He pulls me in, and then he gives

434
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,799
me one of his shoulder taps. He says, good job,

435
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,440
very good job. I felt like he was a proud

436
00:21:43,599 --> 00:21:47,160
father and sort of you know, creepy vibes that they

437
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,799
were saying. I was like, no, he was proud of me,

438
00:21:50,079 --> 00:21:51,960
you know, And it was a very nice moment, and

439
00:21:52,039 --> 00:21:55,160
so no, just a very And again I think a

440
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,880
year ago I would have been I would have been offended.

441
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,799
You know, I wouldn't have laughed, And that just shows

442
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,640
the sort of change is you really enjoy his personality.

443
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,680
I will also say that, gosh, being a member of

444
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,880
the White House press pool must be just awful, because

445
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,480
if you watch that round table, man, they got it

446
00:22:13,519 --> 00:22:17,400
from all sides. They're doing like a battered group of humans,

447
00:22:17,519 --> 00:22:19,519
and I kind of felt bad for them, but.

448
00:22:21,319 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 3: Kind of not.

449
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's interesting. The whole story about him calling

450
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,119
you attractive is interesting because it does lead to my

451
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,880
last question, which is totally frivolous.

452
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 2: And has nothing to do with Antifa. I just want

453
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,160
to know your hair regimen. That's right. It's gorgeous. I know.

454
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,279
I get to meet Scott Presler on Thursday, and I'm

455
00:22:42,319 --> 00:22:45,680
so excited to have a hair off with him so

456
00:22:45,839 --> 00:22:48,480
known for his hair and I'm very known for my hair,

457
00:22:48,519 --> 00:22:50,680
and he's in town and I'm like, we need to

458
00:22:50,839 --> 00:22:53,319
sort this out once and for all. Whose hair is better.

459
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,599
I'm gonna have a hair off. It's amazing, gorgeous. I

460
00:22:56,759 --> 00:22:59,960
always tell people I love my little This is a commercial. Yes,

461
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:06,039
my my shark curling thing my daughter has that. My

462
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,839
daughter has a shark. Yeah, always always pin it. I

463
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,680
pin my curl until it cools, and then I take

464
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,200
it out. If you don't pin it, the curl's not.

465
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: Gonna last get interesting.

466
00:23:19,079 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 2: Heir advice that I have.

467
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 3: My daughter has hair like a lot like yours, and

468
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,880
it is that this must be the key and the

469
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:25,920
shark is the tool.

470
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 2: It is. Yeah, And I just was in TV for

471
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,680
ten years and they made me cut my hair into

472
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,279
a bob and it was long and blonde when I came,

473
00:23:33,319 --> 00:23:35,759
and then they cut up to here. So for my wedding,

474
00:23:35,799 --> 00:23:37,480
I started to grow it out and my husband was

475
00:23:37,519 --> 00:23:40,200
just ecstatic. And I just know and I'm like, I

476
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,519
have no one telling me what to do. I can

477
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,039
cut it again, and so I just let it grow.

478
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,599
But yes, thank you, it's gorgeous. It's gorgeous.

479
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,519
Speaker 1: And so you you're very very attractive, Brandy.

480
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, we know that because the President said so.

481
00:23:53,559 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: Not at all creepy, not at all creepy. Now, we

482
00:23:57,039 --> 00:23:58,599
so appreciate you being with us.

483
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. No oh, I really enjoyed this.

484
00:24:01,079 --> 00:24:03,400
I really enjoyed it. And look at US three blondes

485
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:03,759
just

486
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: Totally thank you, Brandy, thank you,
