On this episode of the Adult in the Room Podcast livestream Victoria Taft's curiosity takes her to the door of Professor Richard Epstein, the famous libertarian constitutional scholar. Professor Epstein, the Laurence A. Tisch Professor at NYU, talks about his book, "The Myth of Birthright Citizenship: What the Fourteenth Amendment Really Says," on the cusp of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on Trump v. Barbara.
As expected, after President Trump's Executive Order pausing the practice of America's open border, birth tourism ridiculousness, leftists, who favor flooding the zone with illegal aliens, immediately sued to stop him.
And here we are at the U.S. Supreme Court.
But will the John Roberts court have the guts to rule the way the Epstein believes the Founders, early American scholars, and 14th Amendment writers understood was the legal state of play at the time?
Epstein's book answers the question and he lays out the crucial case.
Remember the outrage we still hear about today over Charlottesville? It turns out, that Southern Poverty Law Center paid an informant $270,000 to transport people to the Antifa riot. That's according to a new indictment.
The Department of Justice has hit the Hate Map Hit Squad at the Southern Poverty Law Center —and, believe me nobody at the SPLC is impoverished — with multiple indictments for wire fraud, making false statements to banks, lying to donors who thought they were helping get rid of hate but instead the SPLC was PAYING HATERS TO CREATE OUTRAGE AND INCREASE DONATIONS to the group. Moreover, the organization is alleged to have set up phony companies for the purpose of laundering money to hide its intent to use donations to juice an OUTRAGE FACTORY to get more donors. But that's not all. The SPLC is accused of conspiracy to launder money and lie about its intentions.
My former PJ Media colleague, Tyler O'Neil, will talking about the case and his book "Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center."
So, my spidey senses thought something was going on today with the internet dysfunction today. If you saw my live video earlier today (which I've since deleted for a variety of reasons) you know what I'm talking about.
Here's my original message that I cut in the studio right after the internet outages began.
And then there's what happened tonight versus what I told you early this afternoon. Go Israel. I pray for our friends from Iran.

In the latest Adult in the Room Podcast, former Trump lawyer, John Eastman, was targeted by the left for representing the president after 2020. Here's a highlight (lowlight) from the program about how the incredibly absurd levels the DOJ and lawfare regime went to get a legal gotcha. It's a real head shaker.
*Eastman had skin cancer surgery which is why he's wearing a bandage.
ON THE LATEST Adult In the Room Podcast: Attorney & legal scholar John Eastman served as an advisor to Donald Trump’s campaign team during the 2020 election cycle. After questions were raised about the validity of the election results in many locations, Eastman proposed a path for the team to contest the results. Now, for submitting what many of his supporters say was merely a thought exercise at worst, Eastman is facing indictments in multiple states and a federal charge that still hangs over his head as of this episode being published, in the wake of Donald’s Trump’s historic string of Day 1 executive orders ...
Who really is pulling the strings of the Democrats?
