Unorthodoxing

Witness to Horror in a Memphis Jail

In this episode of the Unorthodoxing podcast, host Mike Vick interviews Elise Ketch, a pro-life activist with a unique perspective. Elise shares her journey from a Republican upbringing to her present pro-life leftist activism, informed by her experiences and her commitment to nonviolence. Elise recounts her experiences with protests, including her arrests and the harsh realities of being in jail, where she witnessed significant human rights violations. The conversation delves into her reflections on activism, the challenges she faces, and her future goals in the pro-life movement. In the news segment, Mike shares his thoughts on the dubiously constitutional ouster of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, and what can and should be done about the Trump administration's actions in the region. He also touches on the tragic and avoidable shooting death of a Minnesota woman, killed by ICE during the Trump administration's draconian crackdown on migrants in Minneapolis.
