## Resource

Adam Johnson, known online as the "Lectern Guy" from January 6, joins Josie the Redheaded Libertarian for a candid conversation about political prosecutions, double standards in the justice system, media narratives, and the future of grassroots activism in America. Adam opens up about his own January 6 case, the sentencing that followed, corrupt prosecutors, and the political retaliation he endured. He also discusses his upcoming book, why he decided to run for local office, and why grassroots politics matters now more than ever. The conversation then broadens into media bias, censorship, lessons from revolutionary history, and practical ways everyday Americans can push back, starting right in their own communities.
