listener comments? Feedback? Shoot us a text!Today marks the 55th anniversary of the Chicano Moratorium March, a movement of Chicano anti-war activists that built a broad-based coalition of Mexican-American groups to organize opposition to the Vietnam War. Led by activists from local colleges and members of the Brown Berets, a group with roots in the high school student movement that staged walkouts in 1968, the coalition peaked with an August 29, 1970 march in East Los Angeles that drew 30,000 demonstrators. The march was described by scholar Lorena Oropeza as "one of the largest assemblages of Mexican Americans ever." It was the largest anti-war action taken by any single ethnic group in the USA. It was second in size only to the massive U.S. immigration reform protests of 2006.  Your Hosts:Kurly Tlapoyawa is an archaeologist, ethnohistorian, and filmmaker.

The Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine is one of the most enduring legends of the American Southwest. Said to be hidden somewhere in the Superstition Mountains east of Apache Junction, Arizona, this mythical mine is named after Jacob “Dutchman” Waltz, who supposedly discovered a rich vein of gold in the 19th century and concealed its location before his death in 1891. Over the decades, thousands of treasure hunters have searched the rugged terrain of the Superstition Wilderness in hopes of finding Waltz's fabled treasure. The legend blends fact and fiction: Waltz did exist and was known to carry gold, but geological evidence casts doubt on the existence of a true vein of precious metal in the volcanic range. Which begs the question: Does the lost mine really exist, or is it just another tall tale of the Old West?   Buy Me A Coffee – https://buymeacoffee.com/wildwest   Check out the website for more true tales from the Old West https://www.wildwestextra.com/   Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/   Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/   Join Patreon for ad-free and bonus content! https://www.patreon.com/wildwestextra Learn more about your ad choices.

Tlakatekatl argues that ICE's claims of targeting only criminals are false and that the agency is engaging in what amounts to kidnapping. Tlakatekatl also connects the rise of authoritarianism and anti-immigrant sentiment to the mainstream media's failure to hold power accountable. He concludes by exploring psychological and sociological theories, such as the Authoritarian Personality and Social Dominance Theory, to understand the rise of authoritarian figures that can contribute to the appeal of fascism.

Prolific river protector Gary Wockner gives us the straight scoop on the state of the Colorado River (and others), and the growth obsession that keeps southwest states and cities from responding rationally to increasingly scarce water resources.   TODAY, nearly half the world's population experiences severe water shortages at least part of the year. So far, fresh water issues in the American Southwest amount – mostly - to first world problems – like “I can't water my lawn whenever I want,” “it's hard to keep the golf course lush and green with less water,” or “How can I develop my next residential project if there's no water?” But the future could be grim, if we can't get the cities and states into a 12-step program to break the growth addiction habit. Our guest, Gary Wockner, works globally as an advocate and consultant for protection of rivers. He founded and directs: Save the Colorado Save the Poudre Colorado River chapter of CASSE He also cofounded Tell the Dam Truth, a nonprofit that supports river-protection groups by engaging with federal and state agencies to make sure that the greenhouse gas emissions caused by dams and reservoirs are counted, reported, and then considered during policy making, rulemaking, and legislation. He most recently led opposition to the Northern Integrated Supply Project. He filed a lawsuit to stop it, and recently settled the suit. He shares about the settlement in this episode.

From the earliest bipedal ancestors to the dawn of spiritual awareness, we delve into the archaeological, anthropological, and theological questions surrounding our shared past. Join us over two episodes as we uncover the blurred lines between ancient hominins and modern humans, and ponder the moments that shaped our anatomy, behavior, and spirit. Building on our journey through the Paleolithic, this second episode explores the profound spiritual developments that occurred as Homo sapiens became the sole surviving species in our genus. We seek to understand the emergence of uniquely human spiritual tendencies and our ongoing relationship with the Divine with some stops at ancient sites in Orkney, Scotland and the American Southwest, to examine the rise of symbolic thought, the earliest cave paintings, and the beginnings of agriculture in the Neolithic period. These sacred landscapes offer tangible glimpses into the spiritual lives of our ancient ancestors. Theme song and credits music by Breakmaster Cylinder.

Despite its presence, public reaction remains muted, and the WHO has struggled to reignite pandemic-level fear.[01:03:02:19 - 01:04:06:05] — COVID Death Stats & PCR Test ManipulationThe segment critiques how COVID deaths were reported, alleging that deaths from unrelated causes were labeled as COVID due to unreliable PCR tests. The fear was manufactured, not the illness itself.[01:06:50:17 - 01:07:40:08] — Nimbus Is Mild, But Messaging ContinuesDespite its spread, the WHO and CDC state that the Nimbus variant causes no more severe illness than previous strains. Symptoms are flu-like, but official guidance still pushes boosters and ongoing monitoring.[01:11:16:16 - 01:13:05:21] — RFK Jr. Challenges CNN on Vaccine TrialsRFK Jr. rebuts CNN's claims that childhood vaccines underwent placebo-controlled trials. He asserts that none used inert placebos and criticizes the CDC's licensing process for lacking true scientific rigor.[01:14:05:06 - 01:14:30:08] — Rise in Childhood Vaccines Since 1986Kennedy highlights that routine childhood shots have risen from 11 in 1986 to as many as 92 today. He argues this dramatic increase has occurred without sufficient safety testing, driven by profits over protection.[01:17:58:11 - 01:18:34:20] — CNN's Vaccine Trial Evidence DeconstructedRFK Jr. dissects CNN's list of 257 studies, explaining that the majority used active or post-licensure comparators, not inert placebos. He says the data actually supports his claims about inadequate safety trials.[01:28:18:00 - 01:28:42:14] — Vaccines, Chronic Illness, and AccountabilityHe argues that the explosion in autoimmune and chronic conditions among children should force a reevaluation of the vaccine schedule, especially products designed to alter the immune system without proper testing.[01:33:02:03 - 01:33:52:06] — Polio Cases Fell Before Vaccine RolloutData suggests polio mortality declined significantly before the vaccine was introduced. Kennedy and sources argue the impact of vaccines is overstated and that case definitions were changed to exaggerate success.[01:37:39:03 - 01:38:52:10] — Gardasil and the Dangers of Active PlacebosThe HPV vaccine Gardasil is cited as an example where placebo-controlled trials were misleading, as toxic aluminum adjuvants were used instead of inert substances. 90% of test subjects had adverse reactions.[01:47:08:10 - 01:48:07:20] — Clots in Children of Vaccinated MothersA disturbing case is reported of fibrous clots found in a 3-year-old born to a vaccinated mother. Additional studies suggest reduced IVF success and raise red flags about long-term generational health effects.

Despite visible symptoms, she was offered antidepressants instead of real treatment.[01:51:49:14 - 01:52:18:05] — Parents Silenced, Doctors in DenialAcross the country, parents of vaccine-injured children say they are routinely ignored or belittled by medical professionals. RFK Jr. calls it a systematic campaign of gaslighting, protecting pharma over patients.[01:52:18:07 - 01:53:02:24] — CDC Profits from the Vaccines It PromotesRFK Jr. exposes the CDC's deep financial entanglement with the pharmaceutical industry—owning patents and earning royalties on vaccines—creating an undeniable conflict of interest.[01:54:07:21 - 01:54:54:02] — Government Pharma Pipeline: Vaccines for ProfitThe CDC, FDA, and NIH hold patents on dozens of vaccines and directly profit from licensing deals. These regulatory agencies now act as business partners to Big Pharma while maintaining a public image of oversight.[01:55:33:03 - 01:56:30:05] — The Hippocratic Oath Is DeadRFK Jr. accuses the medical establishment of abandoning its ethical foundation. He says doctors today are more concerned with protecting institutions than protecting patients, calling modern medicine morally bankrupt.[01:57:31:19 - 01:58:30:17] — Alarming Trends: Fertility Drops & Infant ClotsData from IVF clinics and anecdotal reports point to falling fertility and potential reproductive harms post-vaccination. A disturbing case involves a baby born with fibrous clots—raising fears of generational damage.[01:59:58:27 - 02:01:16:17] — Censorship That Kills: The Price of Silencing DissentRFK Jr. argues that medical censorship during COVID wasn't just wrong—it was deadly. Early treatments were discredited, expert voices silenced, and lives were lost in the name of “consensus.”[02:01:30:00 - 02:02:14:00] — Gold, Silver, and the Crumbling Dollar (Tony Arterburn)Tony Arterburn gives an update on the precious metals market, warning of long-term dollar instability.

He says the data actually supports his claims about inadequate safety trials.[01:28:18:00 - 01:28:42:14] — Vaccines, Chronic Illness, and AccountabilityHe argues that the explosion in autoimmune and chronic conditions among children should force a reevaluation of the vaccine schedule, especially products designed to alter the immune system without proper testing.[01:33:02:03 - 01:33:52:06] — Polio Cases Fell Before Vaccine RolloutData suggests polio mortality declined significantly before the vaccine was introduced. Kennedy and sources argue the impact of vaccines is overstated and that case definitions were changed to exaggerate success.[01:37:39:03 - 01:38:52:10] — Gardasil and the Dangers of Active PlacebosThe HPV vaccine Gardasil is cited as an example where placebo-controlled trials were misleading, as toxic aluminum adjuvants were used instead of inert substances. 90% of test subjects had adverse reactions.[01:47:08:10 - 01:48:07:20] — Clots in Children of Vaccinated MothersA disturbing case is reported of fibrous clots found in a 3-year-old born to a vaccinated mother. Additional studies suggest reduced IVF success and raise red flags about long-term generational health effects. [01:50:22:15 - 01:51:05:27] — Medical Gaslighting of Vaccine-Injured ChildrenA mother describes how her child became severely ill after vaccination, only to be dismissed by doctors who diagnosed her daughter with a psychological condition. Despite visible symptoms, she was offered antidepressants instead of real treatment.[01:51:49:14 - 01:52:18:05] — Parents Silenced, Doctors in DenialAcross the country, parents of vaccine-injured children say they are routinely ignored or belittled by medical professionals. RFK Jr. calls it a systematic campaign of gaslighting, protecting pharma over patients.[01:52:18:07 - 01:53:02:24] — CDC Profits from the Vaccines It PromotesRFK Jr. exposes the CDC's deep financial entanglement with the pharmaceutical industry—owning patents and earning royalties on vaccines—creating an undeniable conflict of interest.[01:54:07:21 - 01:54:54:02] — Government Pharma Pipeline: Vaccines for ProfitThe CDC, FDA, and NIH hold patents on dozens of vaccines and directly profit from licensing deals. These regulatory agencies now act as business partners to Big Pharma while maintaining a public image of oversight.[01:55:33:03 - 01:56:30:05] — The Hippocratic Oath Is DeadRFK Jr. accuses the medical establishment of abandoning its ethical foundation. He says doctors today are more concerned with protecting institutions than protecting patients, calling modern medicine morally bankrupt.[01:57:31:19 - 01:58:30:17] — Alarming Trends: Fertility Drops & Infant ClotsData from IVF clinics and anecdotal reports point to falling fertility and potential reproductive harms post-vaccination. A disturbing case involves a baby born with fibrous clots—raising fears of generational damage.[01:59:58:27 - 02:01:16:17] — Censorship That Kills: The Price of Silencing DissentRFK Jr. argues that medical censorship during COVID wasn't just wrong—it was deadly. Early treatments were discredited, expert voices silenced, and lives were lost in the name of “consensus.”[02:01:30:00 - 02:02:14:00] — Gold, Silver, and the Crumbling Dollar (Tony Arterburn)Tony Arterburn gives an update on the precious metals market, warning of long-term dollar instability.

From In Borneo, the Land of the Head-Hunters to The Epic of Everest to Camping Among the Indians, the early twentieth century was the heyday of expedition filmmaking. As new technologies transformed global transportation and opened new avenues for documentation, and as imperialism and capitalism expanded their reach, Western filmmakers embarked on journeys to places they saw as exotic, seeking to capture both the monumental and the mundane. Their films portrayed far-flung locales, the hardships of travel, and the day-to-day lives of Indigenous people through a deeply colonial lens. Nomadic Cinema: A Cultural Geography of the Expedition Film (Columbia University Press, 2025) by Dr. Alison Griffiths is a groundbreaking history of these films, analyzing them as visual records of colonialism that also offer new possibilities for recognizing Indigenous histories. Dr. Griffiths examines expedition films made in Borneo, Central Asia, Tibet, Polynesia, and the American Southwest, reinterpreting them from decolonial perspectives to provide alternative accounts of exploration. She considers the individuals and institutions—including the American Museum of Natural History—responsible for creating the films, the spectators who sought them out, and the Indigenous intermediaries whose roles white explorers minimized. Ambitious and interdisciplinary, Nomadic Cinema ranges widely, from the roots of expedition films in medieval cartography and travel writing to still-emerging technologies of virtual and augmented reality. Highlighting the material conditions of filmmaking and the environmental footprint left by exploration, this book recovers Indigenous memory and sovereignty from within long-buried sources. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this episode, Jess and Megan walk us through their recent family getaways to two standout Hyatt properties in the American Southwest: the Grand Hyatt Scottsdale in Arizona and the Hyatt Regency Tamaya in New Mexico. From flights on Southwest® using Companion Passes to family-friendly resort and cultural activities, they break down exactly how they booked, what they loved, and what they'd do differently next time. Grand Hyatt Scottsdale: Renovated Luxury with Resort Vibes Fresh off a huge renovation and rebrand, the former Hyatt Regency Scottsdale is now the Grand Hyatt Scottsdale—and Jess and Megan each had three-night family stays to check it out. The resort has ten pools, including a three-story water slide, a sandy beach area for little kids, and a separate adults-only pool. There's even a rock-climbing wall, putting green, and weekly birds of prey show. The club lounge, while small, included complimentary breakfast, drinks, appetizers, and desserts, and Jess made good use of the free happy hour drinks by taking them poolside. Their biggest warning? Avoid Thursday–Saturday stays if you're sensitive to noise—live music in the lobby those nights is extremely loud and carries to guest rooms. Jess called it the biggest damper on an otherwise enjoyable trip. Hyatt Regency Tamaya: Hidden Gem Near Albuquerque Megan also shares her family's stay at Hyatt Regency Tamaya, located on the Santa Ana Pueblo in New Mexico. Recently renovated and still a Category 4 Hyatt, it offered unique Native American cultural experiences, incredible mountain views, and tons of free family activities. Megan's family enjoyed nightly s'mores by the fire pit, cultural storytelling sessions, hands-on artisan demos, and a pueblo bread tasting. There are multiple pools, bike rentals, and even a horseback riding stable on-site.  This resort is just 30 minutes from Albuquerque's airport and offers easy access to Santa Fe and Petrified Forest National Park not too far away—making it perfect for road trip loops or a more relaxing extended stay. If you're dreaming of a warm-weather escape filled with adventure, learning, and luxury—without the luxury price tag—this episode is packed with inspiration and real-world tips for traveling the Southwest on points.
