Why the Left & Islam Are 'United in Hate': Jamie Glazov Exposes the Red-Green Axis
2026/10/29
Victoria Taft hosts a fiery live edition of The Adult in the Room, pulling back the curtain on the unnatural alliance between Western progressives and radical Islamists, election integrity battles in California, and municipal absurdity:
Jamie Glazov on United in Hate: The Left’s Romance with Tyranny, Terror, and Hamas: FrontPage Magazine editor and author Jamie Glazov joins Victoria to unpack the ideological roots connecting Western leftists and radical Islam. Glazov details how secular progressives, animated by a hatred of Judeo-Christian foundations and the individual, romanticize totalitarian movements. He explains why modern feminists march for the burqa, deconstructs the left's utopian death wish to "sterilize the earth" for a new order, and revisits David Horowitz's historic campus confrontation with the Muslim Students Association.
California's 20,000 Ineligible Voters (Bill Esseily vs. Alex Padilla): The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California identifies 20,000 non-citizens on California’s voter rolls who received mail-in ballots. Victoria breaks down the courtroom battle before Federal Judge David Carter, exposes Senator Alex Padilla’s evasions regarding voter roll transparency, and explains why California’s reliance on simple "attestation" without verification invites systemic election fraud.
Alex Stein Trolls Portland City Council: Comedian Alex Stein crashes the Portland City Council to sarcastically praise the city's "clean fentanyl," mocking local officials' hands-off drug policies that have devastated downtown streets.
Steve Hilton's "California Refugee" Ad: A breakdown of Steve Hilton’s satirical campaign ad urging voters to "bring California refugees home" from Texas, Idaho, and Tennessee.
Mobilizing the Christian Vote: Victoria issues an urgent call for Christians and conservative voters to overcome apathy, show up at the ballot box, and defend constitutional governance.

2026/10/22

The Fall of France (Simone Rodan): FDD Senior Envoy for Europe Simone Rodan joins live from France to break down the nationwide violence. Rodan details how high school classroom complaints were hijacked by Black Bloc anarchists, Antifa cells, and foreign state actors like Algeria, Russia, and Iran to destabilize the republic. She exposes far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s calculated strategy to stoke street chaos to force a polarization showdown against Marine Le Pen, analyzes President Emmanuel Macron’s crisis of state authority, and examines the realities of opportunistic street looting.
Rose City Antifa Founders Tracked Down in Sweden (Christian Peterson): Swedish investigative reporter Christian Peterson reveals how he located the fugitive co-founders of Portland's Rose City Antifa, Johan and Caroline Victorin. Peterson details how Johan Victorin is currently working as a children's soccer trainer while Caroline works as a hospital nurse in Varberg, despite founding one of the most violent extremist networks in the United States. Peterson also breaks down his joint undercover infiltration with James O’Keefe at "Cyklopen," Antifa’s municipal-backed headquarters in Stockholm.
The Bend School Shooting & The 764 Cult (Nils Grevilius): Private investigator Nils Grevilius (The Last Lawman) joins Victoria to analyze the horrific shooting at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon, where a 16-year-old killed four people before being neutralized by an armed parent and a courageous teacher's aide. Grevilius examines emerging investigations connecting the shooter to "764," an international nihilistic online predator cult focused on grooming, self-harm, and violence. Drawing on his prison interviews with Manson follower Bobby Beausoleil, Grevilius links the rise of youth radicalization to fatherless households and societal decay.
Portland Justice System Targets TommyBoi: Victoria reviews the legal double standard in Multnomah County, where local prosecutors refuse to indict a radical activist who carried out an on-camera drive-by pellet gun attack against conservative livestreamer TommyBoi, while aggressively weaponizing the courts against him.

Plus, a reality check on Jeffrey Epstein's files, debunking the mythical "client list," and reviewing Donald Trump's banishment of Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after he harassed a young Virginia Giuffre.

Burgard details how the Muslim Brotherhood aims to undermine American constitutional governance from within, recaps his on-camera confrontation with Islamic Association of Texas founder Aziz Badri, and breaks down the ideological alliance between Western Marxists and Islamists fueling unrest in France and across Europe.

They expose the dangerous failure of gun-free zones and make the case for training and arming willing school staff.
Riot Incorporated: Rep. Pramila Jayapal's Resistance Lab: Victoria uncovers the training apparatus behind anti-Trump and anti-Tesla street actions.

Abdul El-Sayed's Radical Network (Ed Morrissey): Hot Air managing editor Ed Morrissey joins Victoria to investigate Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Morrissey details El-Sayed’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood through his father-in-law, Dr. Tayeb Jukaku—a board member of unindicted co-conspirator groups CAIR and ISNA. They expose the mainstream media's refusal to press El-Sayed on his defund-the-police history and highlight New Jersey congressional candidate Adam Hamawi’s ties to the 1993 World Trade Center "Blind Sheikh".
Mark Halperin on the "Next Bernie Sanders": Analysis of Mark Halperin’s warning on Dan Senor's Call Me Back podcast, projecting that El-Sayed possesses Bill Clinton-level political charisma and could seize the progressive grassroots mantle to become the Democratic presidential nominee.
Girls Team Quits Rather Than Race Boy (Dr. Andrew Fox): Author and Anglican priest Dr. Andrew Fox (Truth in the Age of Applause) joins Victoria to discuss the brave walkout by the Camas High School girls cross-country team in Southwest Washington. Rather than race against a biological male who previously competed on the boys team and was forced into a hotel room bunk with a female student, multiple runners stepped off the starting line in protest. Dr. Fox applies Dietrich Bonhoeffer's "Theory of Stupidity" to explain how adults in leadership surrender moral sanity to ideological pressure.
James Talarico’s 63 Radical Statements: Victoria reviews the exhaustive list of Texas Senate candidate James Talarico’s theological and political assertions, including declaring that God is "non-binary," calling Jesus a "radical feminist" and mere prophet, and arguing the U.S. flag is an offensive symbol.

Andy Ngo on The Zizians: Inside the Trans Death Cult: Independent investigative reporter Andy Ngo joins Victoria to uncover the chilling story of the Zizians, an insular, trans-led, vegan death cult connected to at least eight violent deaths across the country. Ngo exposes how founder Jack Lasota (alias "Ziz") radicalized high-IQ Silicon Valley tech elites, using pseudo-scientific brain-hacking experiments, cross-sex hormones, and extreme vegan dogma based on the fear that super-intelligent AI will exterminate meat-eating humans.
Federal Search Warrant Executed on Rep. Ilhan Omar: Breaking down federal law enforcement executing a judicially authorized search warrant at the home of Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar. Victoria reviews early reports linking the raid to an ongoing RICO and public corruption probe investigating massive financial fraud networks in Minneapolis.

Did Trump Really Tell Iran to Bomb LA? Rabbi Michael Barclay & Hannah Puder join
2026/10/09
Victoria Taft delivers an investigative edition of The Adult in the Room, taking on media hoaxes, ideological warfare in American classrooms, and frontline military operations:
Did Trump Really Tell Iran to Bomb California? (The Fact-Check): Victoria deconstructs the latest legacy media spin orchestrated by NBC, CNN, Gavin Newsom, and Karen Bass. She plays the full, unedited audio from Donald Trump’s Grand Island, Nebraska rally, proving he was outlining the catastrophic stakes of a nuclear-armed Iran and explaining why slightly higher gas prices are a small price to pay to prevent Tehran from acquiring weapons capable of annihilating cities like Los Angeles and San Diego.
The 3rd Anniversary of October 7 (Rabbi Michael Barclay): Host of The Rabbi’s Table and Temple Ner Simcha founder Rabbi Michael Barclay joins the show to examine the unprecedented explosion of anti-Jewish hate across the United States. Rabbi Barclay details how California public schools teach that Israel is a "colonial oppressor", exposes Gavin Newsom signing legislation embedding Islamic holidays into the state school calendar, explains why Islam functions primarily as an expansionist political ideology rather than a personal faith, and draws chilling parallels between today's campus protesters and the naive student radicals purged after Iran's 1979 revolution.
Inside Israel's Daring Hostage Rescue (Director Hannah Puder): Filmmaker Hannah Puder (@Defcon_Blonde) breaks down her documentary, Operation Arnon: Inside Israel's Daring Hostage Rescue in Gaza. Puder shares behind-the-scenes insights into the June 8, 2024 Nuseirat extraction that freed four hostages, detailing the tactical execution of the elite YAMAM counter-terror unit and honoring Chief Inspector Arnon Zamora, who made the ultimate sacrifice during the raid.
Epstein Thursday & UNRWA Complicity: Victoria reviews a new civil lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein's estate alleging missing Palm Beach hard drives and CSAM evidence, covers the resignation of Bard College president Leon Botstein over Epstein ties, and highlights the United Nations OIOS report admitting nine UNRWA staff members were likely complicit in the October 7 massacre.
PI Nils Grevillius on Lindsay Clancy's Trial and Aftermath
2026/10/06
On this edition of The Adult in the Room, Victoria Taft welcomes veteran private investigator, former Pinkerton operative, and author of The Last Lawman, Nils Grevillius, for an unfiltered forensic analysis of the Lindsay Clancy murder trial and the broader collapse of criminal accountability:
Forensic Deconstruction of Lindsay Clancy: Nils Grevillius analyzes the legal boundary between clinical psychosis and psychopathic intent. Grevillius and Victoria review the prosecution's evidence establishing premeditation—including Clancy sending her husband away on an 18-minute errand, cutting her own neck and wrists without severing major arteries to stage an alibi, and using exercise bands to methodically strangle her three children.
The Toll on First Responders: Nils shares harrowing firsthand experiences from decades of working with homicide detectives and coroners. He recounts bringing a young British criminology student to the Los Angeles morgue next to a father who had murdered his three children, as well as the lasting psychological trauma endured by officers who worked the Dorothy May Hotel fire.
Lone Holdout Juror Peggy Desronville: Victoria and Nils review the courage of holdout juror Peggy Desronville, who withstood intense pressure from pro-acquittal jurors demanding a political statement on maternal mental health. They dissect documented juror misconduct, including nurses on the jury delivering unauthorized medical opinions during deliberations and reviewing phones in the jury room.
Psychiatric Malpractice & Cultural Decay: A critique of modern psychiatric medicine's lack of enforceable malpractice metrics, the over-reliance on psychotropic cocktail prescriptions over therapy, and the moral normalization of infanticide in progressive legal circles.
Global Intel Brief: Updates on Scott Bessent's enforcement chokehold on Iranian oil exports, foiled terrorist plots, and Nils's recollections patrolling the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) targeting North Korean infiltration tunnels.

2026/10/01
ictoria Taft hosts a packed edition of The Adult in the Room, taking on military readiness, political thrillers, law enforcement warfare, and West Coast gubernatorial politics:
Don Bentley on Double Tap & Military Realities: Former Army Apache helicopter pilot and FBI special agent Don Bentley returns to discuss his latest novel in the Vince Flynn universe, Double Tap. Bentley details the early-1990s prequel setting, hunting missing Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, and Scott Coleman's covert Navy SEAL backstory. He also announces his upcoming short story Flesh and Blood, set in Afghanistan's deadly Korengal Valley, and breaks down the evolution of drone warfare from early Israeli handoffs to CENTCOM's new Task Force Falcon Strike.
Pete Hegseth vs. Hasan Piker (Warrior Ethos vs. Woke Absurdity): Victoria contrasts Twitch streamer Hasan Piker wearing cat paws on stream with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s declaration that social engineering, drag shows, diversity quotas, and PowerPoint trainings are officially purged from the military in favor of lethality.
Gavin Newsom's Anti-ICE Legislation (Michael Letts): In-Vest USA founder and 30-year law enforcement veteran Michael Letts breaks down California Governor Gavin Newsom’s move to ban law enforcement and ICE from using non-lethal conductive electrical shock gloves and flashbangs. Letts explains how shock gloves offer humane, 15-minute neuromuscular de-escalation without permanent injury, warning that banning non-lethal technology forces officers into lethal firearm confrontations.
California Debate Explosion (Steve Hilton vs. Xavier Becerra): Victoria reviews the fiery California gubernatorial debate where Republican Steve Hilton dismantled former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. Hilton confronts Becerra on Susan Rice privately calling him an "idiot" and a "bitch ass," while holding him accountable for the 479,000 unaccompanied migrant children processed through HHS—over 100,000 of whom remain unaccounted for after being funneled into labor and sex trafficking networks.

2026/10/01
On this live edition of The Adult in the Room, Victoria Taft returns to break down legal double standards, high-stakes military developments in the Persian Gulf, and the fallout from the Lindsay Clancy murder trial: Portland's Two-Tiered Justice System (TommyBoi Case): Victoria reviews the latest legal targeting of conservative livestreamer Thomas Allen ("TommyBoi"). The Multnomah County District Attorney’s office swiftly filed misdemeanor assault and harassment charges against Allen for pushing back an aggressive Antifa protester who blocked him with a plastic tote lid—while seven months later, a leftist drive-by pellet gun shooter who targeted TommyBoi on camera has still never been indicted. Iran SITREP with Edmund Fitton-Brown: Former UK Ambassador to Yemen and Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) Senior Fellow Edmund Fitton-Brown joins the show to assess the escalating Middle East crisis. Fitton-Brown analyzes how the U.S. naval blockade is suffocating the Iranian economy, reports on Houthi and Iraqi militia attacks on vital Saudi oil pipelines, explains why Twelver Shia eschatology makes a nuclear-armed Tehran uniquely dangerous, and previews whether kinetic strikes will wait until after the midterm elections. Lindsay Clancy Case: Defense Attorney Destroys His Own Case: Victoria dissects defense attorney Kevin Reddington’s arguments before Judge William Sullivan. After conceding during the first trial that Clancy strangled her three children due to severe postpartum psychosis, Reddington reversed course in a motion hearing—arguing the state never proved she committed the killings at all. The Lone Holdout Juror Speaks Out: Audio surfaces from the lone holdout juror, Peggy Desronville, who explains his Catholic faith and why he refused to let political discussions about women’s healthcare distract from delivering justice for the three slain children: Cora, Dawson, and Callan. White House Arcade Satire: A look at the White House's satirical arcade games, including "Flappy Bill" and "Rio Run," mocking policy battles and open-border rhetoric.

2026/09/25
On this freewheeling, hard-hitting edition of The Adult in the Room, Victoria Taft takes on the lawless streets of Portland, high-profile true-crime psychology, and the absolute absurdity of modern subcultures: Portland's Two-Tiered "Just Us" System (TommyBoi Live): Fresh out of booking at the Multnomah County jail, conservative livestreamer Thomas Allen ("TommyBoi") joins Victoria to break down the misdemeanor assault, harassment, and disorderly conduct charges filed against him. Victoria reviews multiple camera angles showing an Antifa activist aggressively using a heavy plastic tote lid as a battering shield to block his movement outside an anti-ICE hearing. Victoria and Tommy expose the blatant double standard of the Multnomah County DA’s office: aggressively prosecuting a conservative for defending his physical space while refusing for seven months to indict a leftist drive-by pellet gun shooter who targeted Tommy on camera. Psychiatrist Dr. Carole Lieberman on Patrick Clancy's 60 Minutes Interview: Renowned forensic psychiatrist Dr. Carole Lieberman ("The Terrorist Therapist") joins Victoria to evaluate Patrick Clancy’s public television interview. Dr. Lieberman breaks down the systemic failures of Lindsay Clancy’s psychiatric treaters (including Dr. Tufts), the clinical reality of command auditory hallucinations, and a controversial theory regarding the unconscious origins of the male voice Lindsay heard. Victoria strongly pushes back against juror misconduct following the 11-1 hung jury, where jurors admitted to treating a triple-infanticide trial as a public referendum on women’s healthcare. Sen. Tommy Tuberville & The Aviation Furry Exposé: Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville delivered a Senate floor speech calling for the return of mental asylums, warning that commercial pilots and airline staff could be part of the "furry" fetish subculture. While corporate media outlets mocked Tuberville, Victoria investigates the actual existence of the Airline Furries Association International (ALPFA) and uncovers viral online communities of furry aerospace engineers, commercial pilots, and mechanics—sending Victoria into an uncontrollable on-air laughing fit. Global Moves & News Round-Up: A review of Donald Trump's address at the United Nations General Assembly putting the Iranian regime on blast, the Cuban delegation walkout, and newly unsealed details in the Jeffrey Epstein associate network.

Anatomy of an Information Op (The AI Data Center Psyop): Victoria breaks down revelations from Sean Chenoweth, National Security Council Director for Cognitive Advantage, and financial warfare expert Hamed Yousef. Declassified intelligence confirms that the nationwide pushback against AI data centers is a targeted psychological operation launched in Q1 2025 by foreign adversaries (China and Russia) through environmental front groups to freeze over $250 billion in U.S. critical infrastructure.
Trump Slaps the UN & Redraws the Map: Victoria reviews Donald Trump’s address before the United Nations General Assembly. Trump puts the Iranian regime on blast—recounting the destruction of its nuclear infrastructure in Operation Midnight Hammer and 159 naval vessels in Operation Epic Fury—prompts a walkout by the Cuban delegation, designates Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorists, and details the historic Greenland defense pact signed with Denmark.
White House Pulls Press Passes (Dennis Kneale): Veteran business journalist and Oregoners author Dennis Kneale joins Victoria to break down the White House revoking hard passes for CNN, MSNOW, and Politico. Kneale exposes the media's coordinated pool boycott, details how Trump countered by launching "Trump TV," and reviews legacy media's refusal to correct discredited hoaxes from Russiagate to COVID-19 transmission myths.
The "Marlboro Man" Monopoly Play: A look at how tech incumbents like Anthropic and OpenAI use existential doom narratives to build regulatory moats, locking out open-source competitors ahead of massive IPOs.
Portland's Downward Spiral: Dennis Kneale provides on-the-ground reality from Oregon, explaining how radical environmental spending and 880,000 inactive voter registrations created an economic exodus, setting up a potential gubernatorial upset for Republican Christine Drazan.

2026/09/17

The Lawfare Lawsuit Over "Redacted Genitalia": Ziegler recounts the bizarre California federal lawsuit brought by Hunter Biden—alleging data modification because Marco Polo covered the genitalia of Hunter and dozens of women with black boxes—and breaks down the ongoing Ninth Circuit appeal for legal fee reimbursement.
Foreign Influence & The FARA Blueprint: A forensic examination of the foreign millions funneled to the Biden family across Ukraine (Burisma), China (CEFC), Romania (Gabriel Popoviciu), Mexico (the Magnani family), and Kazakhstan (Kenneth Rakishev), including direct violations of 18 U.S.C. § 219 by public officials.

Spencer details the theological doctrine of Taqiyya (sacred deception) practiced by the regime, assesses picking fights with Saudi oil pipelines via the Houthis, and exposes how Turkey under Erdogan has quietly surpassed Saudi Arabia as the top financier of Islamic centers and mosques across America.
Miracle on an Iranian Ridgeline (Pilot "44 Bravo" Rescued): Newly declassified Pentagon and CENTCOM footage reveals the harrowing survival story of "Forty-Four Bravo," the weapons systems officer of a downed American F-15E Strike Eagle. After free-falling when his parachute failed to unfurl, Bravo hid in mountain crevasses while evading Iranian search teams hunting a bounty on his head before being extracted by elite Air Force Pararescue operators (PJs).
The Manufactured AI Panic (David Sacks & Barack Obama): Victoria exposes the political strategy behind Barack Obama urging Democrats to make "AI safety" a core midterm platform. Drawing on insights from David Sacks on the All-In Podcast, Victoria dissects how an orchestrated "whistleblower" op backed by Effective Altruism mega-donors and Neville Roy Singham-tied dark money is manufacturing regulatory panic to throttle American tech dominance.
SCOTUS Mail-In Ballot Ruling: Victoria analyzes the Supreme Court’s stay halting Trump administration postal authentication rules for mail-in ballots, breaking down Justice Samuel Alito's blistering dissent calling out lawfare groups for running out the clock.
