Episode notes
Authenticity Beats Performative Politics
- Gavin Newsom's Davos performance tries to mimic Trump style but reads as inauthentic and awkward.
- Hosts argue authentic persona matters more than performative posturing for political credibility.
FACE Act Hinges On Dual Intent
- The FACE Act criminalizes force, threats, or physical obstruction when done with intent to impede religious or reproductive activities.
- Proving dual intent (action plus purpose to interfere with rights) is the prosecution's key burden.
Frame Defense Around Intent And Conduct
- Protesters should build defenses showing lack of intent to target religious exercise if charged under FACE.
- Emphasize absence of force, threats, or physical obstruction to counter prosecution narratives.
