In this episode - Simon Moya Smith, and Julie Francella, talk with John about the resurgence of the American Indian Movement (AIM) in Minneapolis, drawing striking parallels between historical and contemporary struggles faced by Indigenous communities.Simon and Julie emphasized the importance of understanding that the fight for Indigenous rights is not merely a relic of the past, but a living, breathing movement that continues to evolve. They pointed out that the emergence of social media has changed the landscape of activism, allowing Indigenous voices to share their stories and experiences in real-time, bypassing traditional media channels that historically marginalized their narratives.The discussion also delved into the impacts of colonization on Indigenous identity and the ongoing trauma that Indigenous people face. Julie highlighted the psychological effects of racial profiling and the necessity for Indigenous youth to constantly prove their identity to authorities that often fail to recognize their sovereignty.One of the most poignant moments in the episode came when Simon remarked, "For Indigenous people, it has been about protecting our community and life." This statement encapsulates the essence of the American Indian Movement's mission, which has always been about safeguarding not just Indigenous lives, but the entire community.As the conversation unfolded, both Simon and Julie expressed their hope for a future where understanding and respect for Indigenous history and rights are paramount. They called on listeners to recognize that "nobody's illegal on stolen land," challenging the prevailing narratives that often ignore the historical context of Indigenous peoples' presence on their ancestral lands.The episode culminated in a powerful reminder that the fight for justice is ongoing and that each generation has a role to play in advocating for the rights of Indigenous peoples. As Simon aptly put it, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." This sentiment resonates deeply in a world where the struggles of the past continue to echo into the present.For anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Indigenous issues and the complexities of identity, this episode is a must-listen. Simon and Julie's insights provide a valuable perspective on the importance of community, activism, and the enduring legacy of the American Indian Movement.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John talks about ICE Agents in Minneapolis shooting Renee Nicole Good in the face as she attempted to move her vehicle out of their way. The White House and conservative media immediately defended the murder, calling the victim a domestic terrorist who was attempting to harm federal agents. Then, he speaks with podcast rock star Bob Cesca on entertainment and politics. Next, it's Desimber Rose and Dillon Naber Cruz AKA The God Squad on the intersection of religion and government. Then rounding it out, John chats with legal analyst Dr. Tracy Pearson on the legal ins and outs of Trump's numerous courtroom battles and illegal mischief.

John talks about the expiration of the ACA tax credits. The enhanced ACA Premium Tax Credits (PTCs), which significantly lower health insurance costs, expired on New Year's Eve with no broad federal extension enacted, causing potential large premium increases for millions. He also discusses Zohran Mamdani who was sworn in as New York's first Muslim mayor and the first immigrant to lead the city in a century. In a speech, Mamdani promised to deliver the most progressive leadership the city has seen. Then, he welcomes back Allison Gill of Mueller She wrote and The Daily Beans Podcast. They talk about Trump's vindictive prosecutions and the newest revelations in the Epstein files. Then finally, John jokes with TV's Frank Conniff on what 2026 holds in store.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this special New Year episode - John shares his latest episode of his podcast with Professor Corey Brettschneider - The Oath and the Office. They start with the Supreme Court checking Trump on using the National Guard—why it matters, and whether the Insurrection Act is the next risk. That ruling is their doorway into a 2025 Year in Review: where they revisit Trump's most dangerous attacks on the Constitution, and the guardrails that barely held. Next, they break down Judge James Boasberg's escalating confrontation with the administration over deportations tied to the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. Can the government claim people sent to Venezuela have no due process rights? And can courts be told it's “too late” once they're out of the country? They explain what the Constitution requires and what's at stake for the rule of law. Finally, they turn to Florida, where Ron DeSantis's remake of New College offers a blueprint for a broader war on education—replacing what they label “woke” with enforced ideology, down to symbolic culture-war moves like honoring Charlie Kirk.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Keith's allergies caused such severe swelling that he now resembles Jeffy, while Pat plans to flee the incoming polar vortex — just like Ted Cruz did. A quick reminder: President Biden's recent visit to California wasn't to address the fires but to see family. Back at the White House, Biden struggled during a signing ceremony, forgetting what he was doing and raising questions about why he's signing anything when Trump will likely undo it. Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearing has been a spectacle, with criticism flying from the Left, particularly women. The hearing featured bizarre moments, such as questions about Trump potentially taking Greenland by force, defining “jagoff,” and addressing allegations of sexual misconduct. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) also called out his colleagues for their hypocrisy during the proceedings. Meanwhile, speculation continues over whether there will be a Biden Presidential Library, which many predict will be mocked as an uninspiring destination. Congress is locked in debates about women's health and the definition of a woman, while the dominance of trans women in female sports continues to ignite controversy. Adding to the chaos, AOC delivered a speech on the House floor that many found incoherent. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tara Dublin guest hosts for John on his holiday break. She talks about the piecemeal, haphazard, slow-trickle, fuckery release of the Epstein files. She also discusses reports that the US carried out airstrikes against targets in Venezuela over the Christmas holiday. Trump has made several contradictory statements to the press on the strikes, but it seems the target was a shipyard. Then, she interviews Alicia J. Rose who is a photographer, filmmaker and musician based in Portland. They talk about her show Menopunks which is a bold, unapologetic documentary that exposes the truth behind the science and the silence. The show is backed by a fierce lineup of iconic Portland musicians. Then, Tara welcomes the one and only Hal Sparks to talk music, Trump mayhem and other politics.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
