Between the attempts to tear down Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and now a Texas sheriff's attempt to conflate the charter flight of 48 detained migrants to the island vacation enclave Martha's Vineyard, KVI's John Carlson says Democrats have managed to give Republicans more positive publicity than they could have planned from this exploitation of sanctuary city/county/state policies. Meanwhile, not a peep in major news media coverage of the report that the Biden Administration has sent 78 flights carrying detained illegal aliens into Jacksonville, Florida in the last 6 months.

KVI's John Carlson listens to the long-awaited first public response by King County Executive Dow Constantine to questions about his King County Regional Homeless Authority (KCRHA) proposed homeless facility planned for the SoDo neighborhood near the Chinatown-International District. Constantine finally answers questions about the proposed homeless facility from independent reporter, Jonathan Choe. One week ago, Constantine ignored Choe's questions telling the former Seattle TV news reporter "you're not actually a journalist".

Biden who just told 60 Minutes "the pandemic is over", HBO's Bill Maher inadvertently contributes to the argument against Critical Race Theory being lopsided in educational curriculum.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis responds curtly to the political critics of his decision to fly detained migrants to the coveted island vacation spot of Martha's Vineyard. DeSantis specifically responds to the CNN interview comment of documentarian Ken Burns who characterized the charter plane flight to Martha's Vineyard as akin to the Jewish Holocaust in World War II Germany. KVI's John Carlson examines how the American political Left has tried to distort the Martha's Vineyard ploy to denigrate DeSantis.

KVI's John Carlson digs into the new "woke" term "Presentism". It's a new method of 'cancel culture' regarding past history.

KVI's John Carlson devotes two segments of his Friday show to distilling and contextualizing the political drama from Democrats who are decrying Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's decision to fly 48 detained migrants to the hallowed vacation island, Martha's Vineyard, off the coast of Massachusetts. Carlson says this strategy by DeSantis has managed to re-position the media spotlight off of news coverage that has been benefitting Democrats and Pres. Biden during the last week or two. Carlson adds that Democrats are having a "conniption fit" after the Martha's Vineyard revelation but it exposes the Democrats double-standard on 'sanctuary' policies for illegal aliens.

GUEST: independent reporter, Jonathan Choe, talks to KVI's John Carlson about the big development this week when King County Executive, Dow Constantine rebuffed Choe's homeless shelter question by telling him "you're not actually a journalist". Choe says there's "enormous pressure" building about the proposed homeless services facility planned in Seattle's SoDo neighborhood directly south of the Chinatown-International District (CID). Carlson points out that King County officials have done the "the bare minimum...to comply with the law" regarding public notification about the proposed 500 bed homeless shelter. Also, the irony that Seattle progressives love to demand 'second chances' for law breakers and community activists getting involved in politics yet these same progressives are virulently trying to shutdown Jonathan Choe's coverage of issues they don't want publicized.

In 2023 a Washington law that decriminalized drug possession is set to expire. KVI's John Carlson examines the sunset clause on the law that has essentially created de-facto drug legalization in the state--especially in Seattle. One Washington State Representative from Seattle has already indicated she wants to completely legalize hard drugs in Washington as Oregon recently did.

Ron DeSantis is a "stunt", the strategy Republicans can use, KVI's Lars Larson examines the Democratic double-talk about "welcoming" immigrants, Larson points out that there are over 200 available VRBO rentals right now on Martha's Vineyard but none of those property owners are volunteering to house the detained migrants.
