Seattle Mayor WRECKED by her own comments as Jeffries issues DARK WARNING

Added: 2026-05-16

[00:00:00]Katie Wilson's smug attitude has landed her in some hot water to the point where she's now walking back her comments that she made against millionaires. Now, this comes as businesses continue to leave Seattle. Hakeem Jeff has offered up a new threat in regards to what they will do if they gain power again regarding our election system. Let's start with Katie Wilson and what she told a reporter the other day. Take a look.

[00:00:22]>> I mean, it's really great that Amazon's invested $3.5 million um in this project. What do you think it means in terms of relationship with your office and big business knowing we all saw the the video from a couple of weeks ago on stage at Seattle?

[00:00:35]>> Um so again I'm really excited about this partnership and uh I mean just to give another example right today we um we announced um a second large new um shelter site tiny house village that um that we're working on and that is uh with a philanthropic partnership from Challenge Seattle. So that includes money from Starbucks, from T-Mobile, from Microsoft, from John Stanton and Terry Gillespie. And so really grateful for their um partnership.

[00:01:00]>> So she's changed her tune because there is this uh shelter part partnership that is launching in Seattle. And some of the people funding it happens to come from Starbucks and other corporations. But that hasn't stopped obviously Starbucks from moving its headquarters, including Boeing as well. And guys, this is a huge indictment on her as a mayor and she's probably felt the backlash at this point. Similar to Mandani, they go in front of the camera and they alienate the people who have been providing the jobs, been improving the economy, right?

[00:01:34]And so, I guess they have to learn the hard way. In fact, let's go to the ground. This journalist continues to expose how bad it is in Seattle. Take a look.

[00:01:42]>> Shopping in Seattle is not what it used to be like. This right here used to be Old Navy. Now it is gone. This used to be Anthropology.

[00:01:51]All the shopping right here is gone.

[00:01:54]This used to be the loft.

[00:01:56]That corner right there, there used to be a big Starbucks. This used to be the van store. One of the best smelling stores in Seattle. Abberi used to be right here. Macy department store is no longer here. It used to be right here.

[00:02:13]Prime retail space right here in Seattle. Nothing's in it. One of the thriving businesses in downtown Seattle is the smoke shop. Pikes Market is directly behind me. Ross just recently closed three months ago. TJ Maxx used to be in that building up above. That's been closed for years. Walgreens is just barely holding on. And probably one of the reasons Walgreens is actually still alive in Seattle is because everything is locked up. Prime real estate for a restaurant. This used to be Hard Rock Cafe. It's not all negative in Seattle.

[00:02:47]Pike's Place is still thriving. You can still buy beautiful flowers. But I want to show you what a city can turn into when it's run by Democrats. When you have soft on crime policy, when you let homeless people roam the streets, drug addicts roam the streets, and drug dealers rule the streets. That is what is happening in Seattle. It's >> again, I think I've said this a few times, they should use cities like Seattle, Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, uh even Minneapolis as case studies at the universities to teach students how detrimental policies can be to a local economy. Just remove the partisanship out of it. Just look at basic economics and objective facts. you would find these soft on crime policies, this homelessness epidemic, uh allowing uh crime to go rampant because you are refusing to let the local police do their job essentially and you are reclassifying uh misdemeanors or even felonies and you're allowing judges to let people out of prison very early.

[00:03:48]This is what you get. Corporations, they just move. And then to make things worse, putting I to put the icing on the cake is the people in charge. They act like none of this is going to happen.

[00:03:59]This is Katie Wilson literally a month ago saying this.

[00:04:02]>> This is a chance for us to ask you just your thoughts about it and is there any concern about other businesses leaving a big Starbucks to Seattle?

[00:04:10]>> This is again not the subject of our press conference >> yet when she finally answered.

[00:04:14]>> So Starbucks expansion to Nashville has been in the works for years. Seattle will remain their North American HQ and we're confident of that.

[00:04:21]>> Thank you everybody.

[00:04:22]>> That's a great sound bite that she's confident of that that they're not going to leave. They will stick around.

[00:04:28]Doesn't that sound familiar? Isn't that exactly what Zoron Mandani's been saying? They're not going to leave. But what has Ken Griffin done recently?

[00:04:37]Well, you heard him say it on the stage publicly that they are now doubling down on real estate uh in Miami and scaling back their projects in New York City. I mean, how many more socialists in America are going to continue to alienate billionaires as they see their constituents suffer as a result of their policies? It's a great question. Let's go to Michael Schmottish here on CN C CNN where he doesn't shy away from telling the truth about these policies, particularly Mandani. Take a look.

[00:05:08]>> By now, you've probably seen what New York City Mayor Ziran Mandani did on tax day. Griffin wasn't amused. He called it a personal attack at a profound lack of judgment. And then he did something about it. More jobs going to Miami. A planned $6 billion Park Avenue development with thousands of jobs attached now in doubt. And then another big name weighed in. Vornnado realy chair Steve Roth said the phrase tax the rich when spit out with anger and contempt by politicians is just as hateful as certain racial slurs. He even put it on the same level as the pro Palestinian phrase from the river to the sea. Strong words probably too strong of an equivalence but I'm not sure that he's entirely wrong. Look, tax the rich is probably more policy position than slur. When Mandani says the city's $5 billion budget gap means wealthy New Yorkers need to pay more, that's a debate worth having, fine. But filming yourself outside one specific man's home to use his address as a campaign prop, that's not policy. That's more of a shakeddown. And Griffin himself seems to think it's something worse. Stating the video put me in harm's way, noting that CEO Brian Thompson, allegedly shot by Luigi Manion, was killed only blocks away from Griven's New York address. But mom Donnie is hardly the only modern politician who makes it personal. List we forget a few years back AOC showed up at the Met Gala in address that also said tax the rich. Sometime before then she helped force Amazon and 25,000 jobs out of New York City. See at the core of this debate is this mindset that progressives have moral superiority especially over billionaires. They are the ones who dictate what is right and what is wrong. what is of value and what is of no value. So even though we know economically the great work that Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos or any other billionaire out there has done, it doesn't matter to them. It's not of value because they believe they've made that money uh in an immoral or unethical way. And my question to them is, who are you to decide what is moral or unethical? I want you to listen to this exchange earlier on CNN because it sums up the problem in America today. Take a look.

[00:07:18]>> Elon Musk has deserved every single penny of the money he's made. Jeff Bezos, that is the most ludicrous statement you have ever made. They are making money off the American taxpayer, off the American government after deals with SpaceX. I don't know why you're shilling for these people. It's nuts. It has made our standard of living because capitalism has a moral argument that needs to be found. It has made our standard of living better than any other group of people in any other time. And I would say I want Elon living stand a trillionaire because guess what? With his money, he's literally letting blind people see. He's letting paralyzed people walk. I want him to have the money, not Elizabeth Warren, who's going to funnel it to fraud and paralyzed people. I think what are we doing? Have you heard of Nurling?

[00:08:03]Have I heard of Nurling? Does it work?

[00:08:05]Lia's point about >> I mean tell me you have Elon Musk derangement syndrome without telling me you have it right I mean anyone who says that his products don't work clearly are just being disingenuous and and really are not serious in regards to the conversations to be had. I mean, you can have conversations about particularly tax base uh how progressive should should the tax system be um you know what what percentages are fair essentially based on uh income. I think those are fine conversations to have. I think the wrong conversation to have is whether or not Elon Musk not only did he earn a billion dollars, okay? Does he deserve a billion dollar? That's the wrong conversation. And we showed you yesterday about ALC making a fool of herself, uh- which that's a whole another thing. But let me move on to this next story because as you guys know this whole voting rights act that was struck down by the Supreme Court, not all of it, just a piece of it regarding uh racially drawn congressional district maps uh is there's still a fallout from this. Okay, I want you to listen to the language of Abby Phillips last night saying this.

[00:09:13]>> So we are uh to be frank in the depths of hell now when it comes to redistricting. I don't think there's a better way to put it. like there's no bottom officially here. Um I think between the Supreme Court ruling and Virginia, we have a situation where uh pretty much every state is going to be looking at their maps and seeing whether they can box out the other political party and the result is going to be I think just terrible probably. Yeah. Chaos, terrible for our democracy. But for black voters in particular in the south, uh they're they're st they're looking to lose pretty much most if not all of their representation in southern states.

[00:09:54]>> So she starts off by saying we're in the depths of hell, which is really a hyperbole in regards to what's happening, but then ends the point by saying black representation in Congress will dwindle to literally nothing. I've gone over this number already. 39 majority white districts or majority non-black congressional districts in America are represented by black members of Congress. And only 22 majority black congressional districts in America is represented by a black member of Congress. So what does that tell a black member who decides to run uh for office in Congress? Well, they might have a better chance in running in a congressional district uh that is majority white, especially if they are Republican. And why do I say that?

[00:10:41]Because the Tennessee district that is going to be redrawn now uh was being represented by a white man, Steven Cohen. Well, as a result of this new map, it could potentially go to a black woman who is a Republican. That's that's where things logically break for people on the left. They don't support black women who are Republican. They only support black people that are Democrats.

[00:11:05]Okay, let's go to Hakee Jeff. Here he is this morning uh threatening essentially to overhaul our election system and change our judicial system to support that effort. Take a look. Now, we're going to win back the House of Representatives in November. We are only three seats short. We historically overperformed in November, and that's one of the reasons why Republicans are in panic mode. Remember Ally, when we took the House back in 2018, we were 24 seats short. We crossed over that hurdle. And in fact, in 2018, we flipped a total of 40 seats. So, we're going to take back control of the House of Representatives. We're going to continue to make clear to the American people that we will lower their high cost of living, fix a broken health care system, and clean up the corruption that we're seeing in the country, in the Congress, certainly with the Supreme Court, and deal with the most corrupt administration in American history. Now, we're going to need nationwide judicial reform. We're going to need nationwide electoral reform. We're going to need nationwide campaign finance reform, which is why we have to take the House back, take the Senate back, keep pressing forward, and then in 2028 take the presidency back as well.

[00:12:16]>> So using their logic, I mean, one could conclude that they're looking to rig the elections, change the judicial system in order to support that effort, and make sure Republicans never win again. I mean, I'm just using their logic. We know they accused the president of stealing the 2024 election uh because of Elon Musk. They they've already been accusing him of preparing to steal the election again. And this is their language, not mine. I know it's hyperbole. Let's go to Wesley Hunt out of the great state of Texas. Here's what he had to say about this mess. Take a listen.

[00:12:47]>> And at this point, they continue to double down on stupid. They are continuing this same trend of these ridiculous policies that quite frankly are not common sense. We need to continue to be the party of common sense. And black people, white people, Hispanic people, Asian people, they will continue to follow what makes the most sense. Look, Democrats are trying to say that that having an ID to vote, requiring an ID to vote is Jim Crow 2.0.

[00:13:14]And okay, last time last time that I voted, I walked in I walked into the booth. I stood in line with people, Asian people, black people, you name it, pulled out my ID, showed it to them, and I voted just like everybody else.

[00:13:27]There's nothing racist about that. In fact, the Democrats are the ones that are saying that they believe that that we are too stupid to have an ID to vote.

[00:13:36]I call it the soft bigotry of low expectations. Black men in particular are waking up to this. We must continue to appeal to common sense and I do think that opportunity is going to be right for us not just in these midterms but also in the general election in the next couple of years.

[00:13:52]>> Congressman H.

[00:13:52]>> This is why our country is starving for common sense. Starving for moderate uh politicians in a sense. Okay. Uh you don't even have to be a conservative.

[00:14:04]You don't need to think like D'Vory. By the way, if you are just a reasonable individual, you'll do more good for our country than someone who's a radical like Karen Bass, Katie Wilson, Mayor Brandon Johnson, Jacob Frey, uh Mandani, Abigail Scamberger, these individuals are implementing policies that contradict what they say they want to achieve. Affordability, that's not going to work if you're driving out these major corporations. And then when you're trying to redistrict based on skin color, what signal are you sending to voters? What you want to rig the system to keep yourself in power to implement policies that don't help these same voters? That's exactly what they've been doing. Now, I'm not saying every Republican policy out there is worth it or successful. But what I am saying is, and what we do know as a fact, these socialist policies that we're seeing pop up across America is doing more damage than the mind could comprehend. I think that's the bottom line to today's video.
