SEASON 3 EPISODE 111: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: The White Supremacist Trash Trump Administration thought it had gotten away with memory-holing Baseball immortal and Civil Rights immortal Jackie Robinson. They eliminated the Pentagon web page honoring Jackie's service during WWII and re-directed you to a URL reading "DEI SPORTS." They thought they had gotten away with it so much that a Pentagon spokesman named John Ullyot boasted loudly about eliminating the DEI Robinson represented (and the Navajo Code Talkers and that one Native American at Iwo Jima and the Tuskegee Airmen). And then when all hell broke loose, within 90 minutes they actually backed off and restored the page - and made it MORE racist, insisting that they would only honor Robinson as an ex-serviceman, not as a man who may have saved this country from becoming then, what Trump is trying to make it into now. And for all the reversals, one other company's website associated with Jackie Robinson DID scrub any references to "DEI" from its mission statement and has not responded to the Robinson blowback. The other company is of course... Major League Baseball. This is hardly the most important of the daily parade of Trump Atrocities. It may, however, may the most symbolic. B-Block (23:40) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: A podcaster insists what's happening to Tesla is "worse than January 6." Life comes at you fast: Friday, Minnesota State Senator Justin Eichorn introduced a bill to make "Trump Derangement Syndrome" an actual legal thing there. Monday he was being arrested for trying to pay a 17-year old for sex. And why did Jake Tapper drink another pitcher of Kool-Aid and call it "The Gulf of America"? Well there are some people who become their salaries, nothing more. C-Block (43:00) GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK:See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

3.19.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Defense Dept. deletes Jackie Robinson info, DOGE cuts Fair Housing Grants, DOE grants reinstated The Defense Department claims it was a mistake to delete pages on the Navajo Code Talkers, black Medal of Honor recipients, Jackie Robinson, and Ira Hayes, one of the Marines who raised the flag on Iwo Jima.

Fair housing groups have filed lawsuits against HUD and DOGE regarding the cancellation of fair housing grants.

The Defense Department says “in rare cases” it has “deliberately or mistakenly” removed certain content as part of its efforts to erase diversity, equity and inclusion pages from itswebsite after a webpage dedicated to Jackie Robinson's service was suddenly gone. Robinson's webpage, along with content about the Navajo Code Talkers, the Tuskegee airmen, and the Marines at Iwo Jima, was initially removed as part of the department-wide purge of DEI content ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Robinson's page, titled ‘Sports Heroes Who Served: Baseball Great Jackie Robinson Was a World War Two Soldier,' has been restored after public outcry without any content changes. Pentagon Press Secretary John Ullyot saidthe department is “pleased by the rapid compliance” with the defense secretary's directive to remove DEI content from all platforms.

Send us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast—where we cut through the BS and break down the real stories that actually matter, instead of whatever nonsense the Pentagon is pushing today.Here's what's on deck:

On today's newscast: The U.S. Department of Defense plans to restore several removed articles about the Navajo Code Talkers, a northern Arizona senator is pitching a federal fire insurance program for homeowners, the recently-approved spending bill includes a long-awaited permanent pay raise for federal and tribal wildland firefighters, and more.

Following a statement of “strong disappointment” from the Navajo Nation Council, the U.S. Department of Defense is reportedly planning to restore information about Navajo Code Talkers it has deleted from some websites.

The Donald Trump Administration is using the full force of the federal government to compel colleges and universities to do away with scholarships, recruiting, academic programs and any other initiatives that help Native students succeed. Schools risk losing hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding in addition to defending against investigations by the Department of Justice and other agencies. At least 50 schools are facing such investigations for what the U.S. Department of Education calls “race exclusionary” practices. We'll get a look at the sweeping changes the Trump Administration is bringing about and how Native education advocates are responding. GUESTS Cheryl Crazy Bull (Sicangu Lakota), president and CEO of the American Indian College Fund Carrie Billy (Diné), education consultant and former president and CEO of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium Zonnie Gorman (Diné), historian and daughter of Dr. Carl Gorman, one of the original Navajo Code Talkers

One of the darkest periods in US history was the forcible removal of Indigenous children from their parents and confining them to "re-education" schools where they were shorn of sacred hair and beaten when speaking their natal languages. The historical fact that Navajo Code Talkers helped save allied lives during WWII is a massive up yours to the fools and evil doers insisting the children speak English only ultimately resulting in the loss of a lingual identity for many of the abused children. To say nothing of the physical and sexual abuse many suffered. One wonders, did they have mastery over the words that would have exposed their abusers? If they did, did authority care enough to see them as humans instead of mongrels? Did they put credence in the words of those with the courage to speak up?

Try putting together a guy's/girl's night when no on has a phone. Where do you meet, when, where? Imagine trying to move thousands of troops and resources around without constant communication. Well that whole thing had been figured out way before WW2. But what do you do when that life line of communication starts to work against you because your enemy is listening in and knows everything you're doing. The Pacific Theater was basically a series of islands being fought over at different times. Coded communication from ships to shore, and on the battlefield were being intercepted by the Japanese and decoded almost as fast as the codes could be created. One code went the entire war never being broken. The Navajo Code. The Navajo soldiers at the center to our episode were men that during childhood in white-run Indian schools were punished for using their native language. We pretty much did everything we could to kill their culture. Well once WW2 rolled around a man with knowledge of the Navajo Language recommended it to the U.S. Marine Corp due to its insane complexity, small number of people fluent, and the fact it didn't have written counterpart that made it indecipherable to the Japanese. Find out about the Navajo men who created the code and fought on the front lines providing the communications that helped win the war in the Pacific.  Historically High is sponsored by Flintt's Mouth Watering Mints, purveyors of delicious, drymouth destroying little miracles.

Welcome back for Season Fourteen of the Hashtag History podcast! As tradition dictates, the first episode of every season is a Leah Takeover Episode! This week on Hashtag History, we will be diving into a very specific and very niche portion of World War II History: The Navajo Code Talkers. For those of you unfamiliar with the Navajo Code Talkers, they were a group of over 400 Navajo men recruited by the United States Marine Corps during World War II to create a code for war correspondence based on their very complex native language. Despite their courage and willingness to utilize their native language for the success of the United States' war effort, their contributions would go almost thirty years without recognition due to the secrecy of the Navajo Code Talker program.

Laura is a Diné author and the Poet Laureate of the Navajo Nation.  What You'll Learn Intelligence How the Code Talking units were formed How the Navajo people used their language as a weapon Laura's father, Benson Tohe's story Did the Japanese ever break the code?  Reflections The relationship between language and the state Storytelling and the power of oral history And much, much more … Quotes of the Week “When they got into the service they were told, ‘Now you're going to use your language to develop a code.' They said, ‘But, back at home they told us not to speak Navajo, and now they want us to develop a code in Navajo?' So, they were not only astounded, they were puzzled why they would be asked to do this when they were in a school where their identity was being erased.” – Laura Tohe.

In this episode Jennie and Dianne honor Veterans Day and celebrate National Native American Heritage Month along with guests Charlie Johnson and Connie Kellwood Pitt. Connie's father, Joe Hosteen Kellwood was one of the renowned Navajo Code Talkers of WWII. Connie has made it her mission to share not only her father's personal story, but the stories of the 420 Ordinary Extraordinary Navajo men who participated in every major Marine operation in the Pacific theater. They translated hundreds of thousands of messages using the Navajo language between 1942 and the end of the conflict in 1945, and not one message was ever decoded by the Japanese. Upon returning home at the end of the war, the men were forbidden to tell of their heroic deeds until the mission was finally declassified by the military in 1968. Connie paints a vivid picture of courage and the strength and determination of true Navajo warriors who fought to protect their fellow Marines, their families and their country. To all of America's veterans, thank you.

Gallup, New Mexico, located in the northwest corner of the state, abuts the Navajo Nation. During his more than four decades of living in the area, Bob Rosebrough befriended many Navajos. While he was mayor of Gallup, he was introduced to a group of Navajo Code Talkers. These men, recruited by the U.S. Marine Corps., used their traditional language to transmit secret messages to Allies fighting in the Pacific during World War II. The men who Rosebrough met were awarded Congressional Silver Medals. Rosebrough writes about his experience in his award-winning book “A Place of Thin Veil: Life and Death in Gallup, New Mexico.”

When Laura Tohe went to school in the Navajo Nation, there were no books by Native writers for her to read. “That was an invisibility I grew up with,” she says. She knew she wanted to be a writer, she just didn't know how. In this episode of Emerging Form, we talk with Tohe about how she found support from writers such as Joy Harjo, Simon Ortiz and Rudofo Anaya who encouraged her to write about what she knew. Now as Navajo Nation Poet Laureate, she encourages younger Navajo writers to share their stories and poems. Laura Tohe is Diné and the current Navajo Nation Poet Laureate.  She is Sleepy Rock People clan and born for the Bitter Water People clan.  She published 3 books of poetry, an anthology of Native women's writing, and an oral history on the Navajo Code Talkers.  Her librettos, Enemy Slayer, A Navajo Oratorio (2008) and Nahasdzáán in the Glittering World (2021), performed in Arizona and France, respectively.  Among her awards are the 2020 Academy of American Poetry Fellowship, the 2019 American Indian Festival of Writers Award, and twice nominated for a Pushcart Prize.  She is Professor Emerita with Distinction from Arizona State University. In 2015 Laura was honored as the Navajo Nation Poet Laureate for 2015-2017, a title given to her in celebration and recognition of her work as a poet and writer.Laura ToheTseyí Deep in the RockNo Parole Today This is a public episode.

Secrecy is a huge part of military success. You want to be able to communicate with your own forces without the enemy finding out what your plans are.  As America entered World War II, they were in need of a method of communication that couldn't be cracked by Germany or Japan. They found the answer they were looking for in the languages of Native Americans.  Learn more about Navajo Code Talkers and the other Native American languages used in World War II, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In today's episode, Sharon is joined by artist, designer, and mom, Linsdsay Sherbondy. Together, they talk about the Navajo Nation's WWII Code Talkers. This elite group of men created and used a code used for relaying information between military units during World War II. The Navajo code is the only spoken military code never to have been deciphered, and the code talkers were instrumental in the victories of several battles during the war. They returned as unsung heroes because of the classified nature of their mission, living with their wartime secrets for more than 25 years before receiving official recognition by the U.S. government.
