Jason Rantz is a talk show host and author based in Seattle. His new book is, “What’s Killing America: Inside the Radical Left’s Tragic Destruction of Our Cities.”

In it he explains what’s happening in progressive cities, why it’s happening and how to reverse it.

“I’ve never been to Seattle, but I’ve always wanted to go. Then we watch the news, and it appears to be the undoing of a civil society,” began Joe Pags.

“It is a city of tremendous promise. It’s ceded a lot of power over to activists who are motivated by far-left politics. They’ve infiltrated every aspect of the local government. We’re now living the consequences of that,” explained Rantz.

“They want to dismantle systems of oppression. They believe all institutions are oppressive. So, they’ve been tearing them down and rebuilding them,” he added.
