Professor of media studies at Georgetown University, lawyer, and International Fellow at International Conflict Resolution Center, Chris Chambers is a man of many talents but it is in his work as a crime novelist where you can see his true creativity and hard hitting social commentary shine.

It’s in his melding of classic detective fiction with modern day street level scandal that Chambers crafts and truly unique and compelling sequel to his best selling book “Scavenger” and in the process creates a truly unique brand of storytelling that makes him the perfect addition for this edition of the Independent Streak Podcast.

Gov. Jesse “The Body” Ventura is once again joined by his son, Tyrel Ventura, for a quick discussion on some of the events of the past week. Jesse shares his thoughts on everything from Airline Travel to Presidential Debates.

In January of 2022, California Gov. Gavin Newsom rejected and denied the parole of Sirhan Sirhan, the man accused and convicted of assassinating Robert F. Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles back in 1968. Gov. Newsom’s decision directly contradicts a California parole panel’s official recommendation that Sirhan, now 77 years old, be granted freedom after spending more than 50 years behind bars.

In his official denial of parole, the California Governor explained his decision writing…

“Mr. Sirhan’s assassination of Senator Kennedy is among the most notorious crimes in American history … I have concluded that he is unsuitable for parole because he poses a current threat to public safety. After decades in prison, Mr. Sirhan has failed to address the deficiencies that led him to assassinate Senator Kennedy. Mr. Sirhan lacks the insight that would prevent him from making the same types of dangerous decisions he made in the past.”

In response to Gov. Newsom’s decision, Angela Berry, a lawyer for Mr. Sirhan, said in a statement…

“Not an iota of evidence exists to suggest Mr. Sirhan is still a danger to society,”

One of the many people fighting on behalf of Sirhan Sirhan is Jen Abreu, the Executive Director of Redemption Row California. She recently joined Gov. Jesse Ventura to delve into the bizarre and often tragic case of Sirhan Sirhan. A man who many researches and historians now believe was not the “lone nut” gunman the U.S. Government and Mainstream Media declared he was.

In this podcast, Gov. Ventura and Ms. Abreu discuss Gov. Gavin Newsom’s denying of Sirhan’s parole, the conspiracies surrounding the assassination and whether Sirhan represents a current threat to society.

There, Tabetha educated and entertained audiences around the world with her quick wit, incisive commentary, and brilliant investigative spotlights on topics ranging from the plight of farmers in the flyover states to the fight for indigenous rights in Australia.

Now, Tabetha Wallace sits down with her former Hawks co-host Tyrel Ventura to discuss their almost decade long career together in front of the cameras, as well as the trials and tribulations both in front of and behind the cameras at RT America.

With gas prices bullying us into submission and inflation deflating our bank accounts, U.S. President Joe Biden travelled to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in July to make his case before the Saudi King. Hopes were held high that not only would Biden get the Kingdom to produce more oil in order to lower prices but that he would also hold Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman accountable for the brutal murder of Washington Post journalist, Jamal Khashoggi. Those hopes were very quickly dashed.

Former CIA Officer, whistleblower, and now journalist John Kiriakou was there on the ground covering the event for the Scheer Report and he witnessed firsthand how Biden turned a fist bump into a face plant. Recently, Kiriakou sat down with Gov. Jesse Ventura to discuss Biden’s trip, U.S. Foreign Policy in the region and the latest news on the persecution of Julian Assange. Enjoy.

As the summer movie season rages on, one unique and original film is this years diamond in the rough. In what is now a rarity in cinema, director Jordan Peele’s new film Nope isn’t based on a pre-existing property, it’s not a sequel, and its not the beginning of a brand new franchise. It is instead a wholly original summer blockbuster that dares to make audiences think for their entertainment. A truly daring concept in the age of spoon-fed plots and mass appeal corporate cinema.

So how did this daring film make it onto summer movie screens? Tyrel Ventura sits down with author and Georgetown Professor, Chris Chambers to discuss Nope and its maverick director, Jordan Peele.

Christopher Chambers is a professor at Georgetown University in Washington DC and Chair of the International Conflict Resolution Center. He is also an avid film buff, and the author of best selling crime novels, a graphic novel, and numerous award-winning short stories, including “I, Shuri,” in Marvel’s Tales of Wakanda. His latest book, Scavenger, features a homeless addict turned a private investigator; that character returns in Standalone, coming in October.
