The Adult in the Room

You get both sides of the battlefield in one episode. First, Corrine Clifford gives you a DC insider’s view on the government shutdown: what’s actually being debated, whether Trump’s East Wing “ballroom” construction is taxpayer-funded, and how media narratives shape public outrage while families worry about SNAP and WIC. Then Jonathan Cho takes you inside Antifa’s operations — from anarchist book fairs and recruitment tactics to safe houses, “keffiyeh block” disguise strategies, and how homeless encampments are leveraged during ICE facility actions. If you want clarity on Washington theater and street-level agitation, this conversation equips you to see through the noise.#victoriataft, #adultintheroom, #politics, #governmentshutdown, #mediabias, #washingtondc, #antifa, #portland, #seattle, #investigativejournalism, #corrineclifford, #jonathanch
