The Adult in the Room

Walk through how a licensed California investigator began pulling public records—only to uncover daycare centers with dozens of children “enrolled” and zero kids present during inspections. You’ll hear why state access to records suddenly vanished, how nonprofit pass-throughs may be shielding taxpayer money, and why investigators believe this problem reaches far beyond one state.Also, hear how attempts to expose the truth are being dismissed as “conspiracy” instead of investigated—and why that reaction raises even more questions.#GhostDaycares#CaliforniaFraud#TaxpayerMoney#NGOCorruption#AdultInTheRoom

A raw, no-spin breakdown of the Minneapolis-area ICE shooting that’s lighting up the internet — and you’re seeing why context matters. You walk through the video sequence, the crowd dynamics, and the split-second decision point where a vehicle accelerates toward officers on icy streets. You also connect the dots to a troubling pattern: activists coordinating “ICE-blocking” tactics, doxxing agents, and politicians fueling the temperature — then acting shocked when things go sideways. You’ll hear pointed commentary on accountability, the legal standards around use of force, and why the simplest way to avoid tragedy is also the most obvious.#ICEShooting#Minneapolis#BreakingNews#LawEnforcement#UseOfForce#Bodycam

A behind-the-scenes explanation of what a high-risk operation would require—intel, rehearsals, timing, air-defense countermeasures, and the kind of “boring details” that decide whether people live or die. You’ll hear a former CIA voice walk you through why human sources still matter, why leadership authorization changes everything, and why “Maduro gone” doesn’t automatically mean “Venezuela free.”Then you shift gears with comedian/radio host Kevin Downey Jr., who shares his account of January 6—what he says he witnessed, how he describes the crowd’s behavior, and what it felt like to get pulled into the media/DOJ narrative machine. Along the way, you’ll hear commentary on information ops, public trust, and why certain stories stay hot long after the facts are disputed.

Hear Mike Strickland walk you, frame by frame, through the night he says a crowd surrounded him, why he drew his firearm for seven seconds, and how a misdemeanor arrest turned into a multi-count felony case. Then, go on-scene with independent journalist “Honey Badger Mom”  as she explains what’s really happening outside Portland’s ICE headquarters.#Antifa #Portland #ICE #IndependentJournalism #HoneyBadgerMom

Hear how government funding, nonprofits, and media outlets intersect to create what Bruner calls “Riot Inc.” — a well-oiled system of activism, propaganda, and legal shielding. Then, go behind enemy lines with journalist Jonathan Choe, who infiltrated Antifa’s anarchist book fairs in Seattle and Oakland.#antifa, #jonathonchoe, #seattle, #portland, #anarchistbookfair, #investigativejournalism, #victoriataft, #freepress, #domesticterrorism, #lawenforcement

Ryan Mauro of the Capital Research Center explains how Antifa has embedded itself within Portland’s homeless industrial complex, using ideology and nonprofits to maintain chaos and control. You’ll also meet Ty King, a former Antifa member who escaped the chaos, drugs, and spiritual darkness of radical activism to find redemption through Christ. Ty opens up about his childhood trauma, years in Eugene’s Antifa scene, and how cult manipulation and occult practices kept him trapped in violence and despair.#Antifa #RyanMauro #HomelessCrisis #Portland #VictoriaTaft #AdultIntheRoomPodcast

A story so unbelievable you might think it was fiction. Victoria sits down with Douglas Mackey, the man the federal government prosecuted over a political meme. You’ll hear how a joke image from 2016 turned into a four-and-a-half-year legal battle, an FBI raid at dawn, a federal trial, a conviction, and—finally—a full acquittal from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.Douglas takes you inside everything: the morning agents knocked on his door, what the prosecution claimed he did, how the media amplified a false narrative, and the emotional toll his case took on his family. You’ll hear how he fought back with the help of major legal teams, how his appeal succeeded, and what he’s doing now to hold the government accountable. ⁠#FirstAmendment⁠ ⁠#DOJ⁠ ⁠#FreeSpeech⁠#DouglasMackey #FreeSpeech #DOJ #ElectionSpeech #FirstAmendment #VictoriaTaftPodcast

Walk through the Tyler Robinson death penalty case in Provo, Utah, the push to sequester the jury, and why cameras in the courtroom matter if you care about truth—not spin. Plus, is Candace Owens a disruptive opportunist? Controlled opposition? The truth behind TPUSA, Erika Kirk, and Candace Owens.Then, look straight at one of the most unsettling trends in the modern church: pastors using AI to write sermons and believers turning to chatbot “Jesus” apps instead of the real Christ.Victoria Taft sits down with Pastor Dave Scarlett, founder of His Glory, to unpack why that’s not just a tech issue—it’s a spiritual crisis.#CandaceOwens#CharlieKirk#TurningPointUSA#ConservativeMedia#InformationWar#VictoriaTaft#TylerRobinson

Cut through the chaos and learn how to see the signal behind the noise. Victoria walks you through the latest revelations from congressional documents showing the FBI likely knew the identity of the J6 pipe bomber within months—but didn’t disclose it. You’ll explore what that means, why the information was buried, and why it matters now.Then you’ll head to California, where political analyst Mike Netter joins Victoria to break down the state’s ballooning budget, the proposed “wealth tax,” union pressure campaigns, Gavin Newsom’s political theater, and why so many Californians are fleeing. You’ll hear firsthand how wildfires, homelessness, crime spikes, and corruption are affecting residents—and what you can do to stay informed and engaged.#AdultInTheRoom #VictoriaTaft #J6BombCase #CaliforniaPolitics #LawAndOrder

Hear from two expert guests who see the situation from very different but equally informed angles. Author and retired Army officer Kurt Schlichter breaks down why the current “information operation” feels sloppy and rushed, and law enforcement veteran Michael Letts explains why so many pieces of the pipe bomber story simply don’t add up—and what he believes investigators still aren’t telling you.#J6PipeBomber #VictoriaTaft #KurtSchlichter #MichaelLetts #AdultInTheRoomPodcast
