We are pleased to announce our first partnership with the Values Advocacy Council to bring this special speaker to San Jose where she will discuss her latest work, Don't Lie to Me: And Stop Trying to Steal Our Freedom, in which she exposes the Left's lies and distortions about all liberty-loving patriots from President Trump down.

Judge Jeanine has spent her life fighting for the "underdog" and also for our country's freedom. We invite you to hear her outlook on the current freedom crises created by our government and bureaucracies, and how to recognize the lies being told to us by the media, politicians, and others intent on exacerbating the stealthy encroachment on —and erosion of— our most precious liberties.
