"This Is Me" - Jake Lang in His Own Words
Something a little different for this episode of the Adult in the Room. Victoria fills everyone in on her work covering the Durham Probe for PJ Media. Then, a discussion of what inspired her to embrace conservatism, question the media, and why exactly she does everything she does.
Then, an interesting interview: Jake Lang is a young New Yorker who is currently jailed in Virginia, awaiting trial in 2023 for his role in the January 6th riot on the Capitol grounds. Is he a patriotic citizen journalist who genuinely want that day to petition his government? Or is he a bat-wielding thug, brainwashed by a diet of conspiracy theories and bad journalism? That's debateable. But is it right for a defendant to sit in prison for nearly3 years awaiting trial?

Broken Windows & Broken Trust: Seattle's Policing Problem
On this episode, we'll examine the fallout from the leaked SCOTUS decision that could overturn Roe v Wade, as well as the radical steps some pro-choice protestors have taken in response to the leak.
Then, we turn our attention to Seattle, which continues to descend into dystopia as police officers walk away from their jobs or are fired for their healthcare choices. One local business owner has seen firsthand the consequences, having been burglarized 4 times since he opened. Now, he's turning to an unlikely source of protection: neighborhood drug dealers.

DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD: America's New Ministry of Truth PLUS Kennedy v. Bremerton School District with Jeremy Dys
Elon Musk's agreement to buy Twitter has caused the leftist literati to melt down en masse, prompting the Biden Administration to appoint a "Disinformation Czar" -- ostensibly to combat internet-based "fake news" that germinates into real-world violence. But is its true purpose to push the Democrats' agenda despite Musk's promise to return Twitter to a politically-neutral free speech zone?
Plus, we take a special look at the case of Coach Joseph Kennedy, who was fired from his job with a high school in Bremerton, Washington for praying by himself on the 50-yard-line after games. Now, the case is being argued in front of the US Supreme Court and Jeremy Dys, one of the attorneys on the case, joins us to talk about its implications for religious liberty for everyone who works in public education.
