Shift has interviewed the two national speakers as the Roanoke Board has announced their participation. University of California Law Professor John Yoo will be the featured speaker during the always entertaining Saturday evening program.  Professor Yoo has written many books on the evolution of presidential power in American history. Former Princeton and Vanderbilt professor Dr. Carol Swain is one of the nation’s leading critics of the liberal’s divisive Critical Race Theory and will help kick off the conference on Friday evening.  We have also included our interview with the president of the 2022 Roanoke Conference Jackson Maynard who provides a good overview of what attendees can expect.

Shift’s Newsmaker Interview is with John Yoo, one of the featured speakers at the 2022 Roanoke Conference. Yoo is a Professor of Law at the University of California at Berkeley. He is also a Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.   He has written 10 books and more than 100 articles on a broad array of subjects.  His most recent book, “Defender-in-Chief: Trump’s Fight for Presidential Power,” states that President Trump was aggressive in defending executive power, but well within the precedents established by previous administrations. The 13^th Annual Roanoke Conference will be held January 28-30, 2022, at the Ocean Shores Convention Center. (Click to read full Newsmaker Interview)

Shift’s latest Newsmaker Interview is with Dr. Carol M. Swain, a former Princeton and Vanderbilt University professor, respected political commentator, author, and leading critic of the liberal’s racist “Critical Race Theory” (CRT).  It was that announced today that Dr. Swain will be one of the featured speakers at the 2022 Roanoke Conference which will be gathering in-person on January 28^th – 30^th in beautiful Ocean Shores.  We speak with Dr. Swain about her new book (co-authored with Dr. Christopher J. Schorr) titled Black Eye for America in which she explains why CRT is racists, bad for America, and what we can do to counter its proliferation by liberal activists and institutions.  Dr, Swain describes to Shift readers how opposition to CRT was a leading factor in the Republican election victories two weeks ago in Virginia (her home state) and what she plans to discuss at the upcoming Roanoke Conference. (Click to read full Newsmaker Interview)

Shift’s Newsmaker Interview is with Jackson Maynard, the President of the 2022 Roanoke Conference, which is the annual fun and informative gathering of Washington State’s moderate and conservative activists, policy makers, and elected officials held in Ocean Shores in late January.  In 2021, the Roanoke Conference Board adjusted to COVID-related restrictions and held an abbreviated, online conference. This year, the Roanoke Board announced that it will again be in-person and will return to the Ocean Shores Conference Center January 28^th – 30th.  Registration for the conference is now open. Maynard is highly respected in Olympia as the General Counsel for the Building Industry Association of Washington after previously serving as an attorney for the Washington State Senate. We speak to him about the upcoming 13^th annual Roanoke Conference and talk briefly about his 2020 campaign for congress. (Click to read full Newsmaker Interview)
