Seattle radio host Jason Rantz joins us on Episode 16 of the Safe Space Podcast for a no-holds-barred conversation about Washington’s changing political climate, the rise in crime, and what it’s like being a conservative voice in a deep blue state. We dig into everything from voter turnout and gun laws to juvenile justice reform and the growing importance of owning a safe — plus, the now-legendary 17 minutes of magazine freedom.

Agree or not, this episode brings sharp insights, candid takes, and even a few laughs. You won’t want to miss it.
