On #InTheDugout with Mike Stenhouse, we sit down with supporters of legislation that would restore patients’ rights to choose blood in major medical procedures. Sten gets straight to the heart of the issue: how government coercion during the COVID response shattered trust, and why some in power still refuse to learn from that tyranny. Rhode Islanders deserve the freedom to make their own healthcare decisions without interference from bureaucrats or special interests.

In the second segment, Maria Friedman, Executive Director of the RI Coalition for Israel, joins to address the disturbing attack on her group last week in Cranston. The Left and radical Islam’s backers preach tolerance and diversity, but their actions tell a different story. Friedman condemns the rising antisemitism and highlights what this means for Jewish communities and free speech in the Ocean State.

The idea that “medical freedom” and “diversity” are core leftist values is a myth. True medical freedom means respecting individual bodily autonomy and informed consent for every patient — something progressives abandoned when they cheered mandates, censorship, and the suppression of dissenting doctors and scientists. Likewise, real diversity would celebrate viewpoint diversity, religious liberty, and the protection of all communities, including Jewish Rhode Islanders. Instead, the modern Left selectively weaponizes these terms to enforce ideological conformity while turning a blind eye to rising intolerance and antisemitism in the name of “tolerance.”

This is the conversation Rhode Island needs right now. Real medical freedom, honest accountability on rising intolerance, and the stakes for families across the state. Watch now and join the discussion.
