John's monologue is about Trump taking fees from immigrants and US sponsors for services that it has no plans to provide. The government took their money, and now it won't even adjudicate their applications—in many cases, it refuses even to issue denials. The State Department is actually telling consular officers not to notify future applicants that the government has banned them. He also talks about Trump telling reporters he “isn't sending troops anywhere” in Iran, adding that even if he was, he wouldn't tell the press – whom he hates. Even as Trump denies it, national defense insiders in DC report DoD is close to deploying thousands and thousands of troops to the region to take and hold Iranian territory near the Strait of Hormuz. The Pentagon has also asked Congress for $200Billion in supplemental war funds so it can keep escalating conflict with Iran. John then interviews Hans Charles & Menelek Lumumba who are the hosts & co-creators of podcast The A Building, which was launched by Imagine Entertainment and iHeartPodcasts back in February. It is a tale of protest that will hopefully spark the fight in all of us for the next No Kings protests on March 28th. The A Building tells the story of the 1969 student protest at Morehouse College in Atlanta where students (including Samuel L. Jackson) took board of trustee members (including Martin Luther King Sr.) hostage. The event was a pivotal moment in the modern era of student protests, and the podcast explores how the climate of the 60's and 70's reverberates today.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, Simon and Julie join John to unpack a powerful mix of history, headlines, and accountability.They begin by honoring the legacy of Jesse Jackson, reflecting on how he bridged Black and Indigenous civil rights struggles — from supporting Standing Rock to advocating for Leonard Peltier — and how he used his national platform to connect movements that are too often siloed.Then they turn to Texas, where Tarrant County GOP chair Bo French is seeking higher office after publicly calling for the mass deportation of millions — including Native Americans. They examine what this rhetoric reveals about extremism inside state politics and how normalized it has become.They also discuss a Georgia lawmaker's proposal to rename Sawnee Mountain after Donald Trump. The pushback highlights deeper questions about Indigenous erasure, public memory, and who gets honored on the land.And finally, they close with a troubling but important story out of Hawaiʻi, where Mark Zuckerberg reportedly used shell companies to pressure Native Hawaiian families into selling ancestral lands while constructing a fortified compound. It's a conversation about power, land, and what happens when billionaires collide with Indigenous sovereignty.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
