The Adult in the Room

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?

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.

In August of 2021, Jen Loh helped organize a conservative rally in Portland, and discovered why many on her side of the aisle consider it "enemy territory." ANTIFA militants assaulted the rally, throwing bricks, setting off explosives and attempting to mow down attendees with vehicles. And where were the police? Nowhere to be found, per the orders of mayor Ted Wheeler. Now, Jen & her fellow attendees are suing the City of Portland, the Multnomah County DA and the Mayor for their roles in putting the lives of locals & visitors alike at risk by allowing ANTIFA to turn Portland into a post-apocalyptic hellscape of riots, assault and property damage.

Justin Butterfield is Deputy General Counsel with First Liberty Institute, a legal defense organization that protects the First Amendment rights of religious liberty. One of their biggest cases to date is currently making its way through the US federal court system as a group of Navy SEALS is suing after years of their religious objections to certain medical procedures have been denied, apparently as a matter of policy. Now, many of them are facing an ultimatum: submit, or lose your rank, your benefits, and even the money you've already been paid. Justing discusses the latest on the case and what the next steps could be.
