Kyle Reyes on the culture of today's politics; Jonathan Lockwood and Ben West on being gay and conservative in Oregon - Ep 9

Behind the Curtain with Jeff Reynolds

This week’s episode features not two, but three conservative firebrands who take an aggressive approach to getting their message out.

My first guest is Kyle Reyes, who founded Whiskey Patriots and serves as the spokesman for Law Enforcement Today. I first came across Kyle in 2018 when I wrote about his high school alma mater refusing to let him speak at a dedication ceremony for a new memorial at the school, for the sin of being conservative. Kyle has a large national following, and the school squandered an opportunity for wide positive news coverage, because the students supposedly would be afraid of the mere presence of a conservative. Kyle and I talk about the current state of affairs in our country, what the organized Left is doing to undermine our society, and the lies that propel the movement to tear down America.

Kyle also recorded a bonus segment exclusively for our Patreon patrons. He gives us even more conservative red meat, expanding on the theme of electing more people at all levels of government who still believe in our core constitutional beliefs. Subscribers get access to this kind of exclusive material and many other features. Check it out at patreon.com/BehindTheCurtainWithJeffReynolds.

My second, Oregon centered segment this week is a bit of a departure. Yesterday I released a bonus episode with an interview with Kim Sordyl, talking about the Oregon Secretary of State’s office. If you missed it, you really should check it out. Anyway, I have two guests this week who are allies of Kim’s. My original intent with this episode was to have a roundtable discussion with two prominent gay conservatives in Oregon, Jonathan Lockwood and Ben West. Well, as John Lennon put it, life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans, and the discussion idea fell through due to scheduling problems. I recorded separate segments with Jonathan and Ben, with the idea of talking to them about being gay and conservative in Oregon, and what they face from the left and the right while taking that position. These were two fascinating conversations.
