Welcome back to Slightly Offensive here on Blaze TV.
We are here at the beginnings, of course, of the rally against the shutdown here in the state of Washington, specifically in Olympia.
Anyway, we're going to hear why citizens, they want to get back to work, they want to continue on with their lives, and they don't want tyranny to survive any longer.
Please make sure that you like, share, and subscribe, and always check that you are still subscribed as you don't get magically unchecked, like as many of you report every day.
Anyway, we hope you enjoy the show.
With still about 20 minutes for the actual rally to begin, there's already hundreds of people, if not thousands, as we don't have an actual count, of patriots all around, of different political affiliations, yelling for what they love the most.
This country, but not the country that they're seeing at the moment, but a country that stands for freedom and against tyranny.

I got bills to pay and I want to go back to work.
I was in beauty school and now they canceled that.
So it's just, it's affected my whole school year.
I don't know if I'm going to have to go to another school.
So it's just really altered my future and I had big plans.
Man, it sucks because I want to go back to work.
That pride that you feel when you go home every day from work, that's like nothing that can take away from be taken.
And Jay Ansley has taken away a lot of jobs from people.
So your sign says my fishing pole identifies as an essential worker.
Obviously that comes down to the point of who gets to decide what's an essential worker and who isn't.
Why did you choose this object specifically?
unidentified
I mean, hey, I've been an essential worker since it started.
You know, I just feel that it's an essential activity really, that we can go out and, you know, they say go out and do what you need to do, exercise, whatever, but they close public land, they close fishing.
Why can't I go out and fish when you can't fish?
Can't fish in Washington State, the only state in the country that has closed fishing.
It's always funny that the people keeping other people out of work still have their jobs, right?
The media and the people in the government are still getting paid.
They're still able to go to work.
They're still able to do their daily tasks.
And they don't have to worry about anything.
Meanwhile, someone like you has your entire life put on hold, but no one seems to care.
Why?
Well, because you're not in the media, because you're not. the governor, right?
You're not part of their elite class of people.
unidentified
He shut down construction, which is going to cost the state $100 million a day in revenue.
Buddy, except if you're building low-income housing, sound transit projects, key arena projects, some school projects, it starts adding that little bit of, you know, hey, is this really a political thing or what?
Do you feel like the government restrictions of the shutdown and the tyranny is more dangerous long term than the virus?
unidentified
Yes, definitely.
They're taking away a lot of rights with this and they're using the virus as an excuse for that.
Well, I think it's important that we all realize that our liberties and our natural rights are exactly that, our natural rights.
And a lot of people misunderstand our rights to be something that is created and granted by government, but it's actually ours naturally, by natural law.
I think it's about control.
I mean, I don't think they care about us and our rights.
They just care about serving themselves.
I think it's just a big old political tool to see how far they can take away our freedoms before we push back.
They've basically been caught lying over and over again.
Let's look at the Cold War situation.
They said that the Russians were going to bomb us.
That never happened, you know.
Let's look at Vietnam veterans.
They sprayed them with Agent Orange.
And my father died from the lies of the government.
And so definitely, I'm trying to make a statement.
I'm trying to laugh and mock everyone else that I see that wears the mask because what I see is when I see people wearing a mask, it's like, you must watch TV.
We have to remember that all, any infringement on our rights never stays limited.
And we're headed towards a centralized, authoritarian style government here.
And people think, oh, everything's just temporary.
Everything's going to pass.
And it's really an illusion.
So if you let government take one inch, they will take one mile.
Less than five miles away from us is a private golf club, Tacoma Golf and Country Club.
Very similar.
It's a private club.
Members out there on acres golfing by themselves.
And two days ago, Angela sent armed agent from the Alcohol and Cannabis Board to tell the golfers to get off the golf course and go back to their homes.
What I fear the most for the future is, you know, every time we have a new infectious disease, it's just going to lay the platform for how we deal with it from now on.
You know, I think that's scary because viruses aren't going to go away and they're going to mutate.
We'll have different ones resurface.
And, you know, I think it's kind of a dangerous thing to just start treating things differently.
The media is not telling us facts.
They're just promoting fear.
Fear lowers your IQ and then you look to authority for to feel better.
Yeah, we're questioning the mainstream narrative and I think the people that get called conspiracy theorists are the people that don't agree with the mainstream narrative.
And so I think it's an easy way to label all those people that are questioning what we're told and kind of poo-poo them aside and say they're crazy.
Where do you get your information from?
Online, I get a lot of information on YouTube.
I've watched Blaze Media.
I was raised this way.
My mom was always a questioner and kind of like challenging the narratives and so I was just always raised kind of questioning.
She always told me if everyone agrees on it, then you should question it and do your own research.
In addition to the thousands of people that are in attendance at the rally, hundreds, if not thousands more are gridlocking the streets around the Capitol building, driving around with signs, honking their horns in support at a safer social distance, I guess.
But anyway, whether you prefer to be inside of the protest here or you prefer to drive around the streets, the message is quite clear.
The people want their state back open.
And maybe not just this state, maybe all of them.
Let the people work.
unidentified
It's time to open it up.
We understood for a couple weeks.
You know, it's something that had to be beaten, but this is getting ridiculous.
He tells us May 4th, and now he tells us it's not going to be May 4th, or it probably won't be May 4th.
So I think the governor just needs to grab his balls and f ⁇ ing reopen.
I just think that there's a lot of different other things to focus on right now.
And I don't think this is being handled well at all.
I think the healthy people need to go back to work.
I think we need to get the economy back up and going.
You know, what do they say?
The cure can't be worse than the, you know, the disease.
We're taking our state back in two weeks, if not today.
I'm going out and I'm yelling from the rooftops.
We're starting a rebellion in Washington.
We're not listening to this, governor.
We're taking our state back, and we're not going to be Soviets any longer.
Are you subjects?
Are you citizens?
Yeah!
We the citizens gave them limited power to do the tasks that we didn't want to do because we're too busy following life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We're opening up May 1st.
Everybody's opening up May 1st.
That's probably a patriot here involved.
It's already going around social media everywhere.
