Simon and Julie join John for their weekly show "We’re Still Here" with special guest Rae Fancher. She's Simon’s partner and as an Alaska Native she talks about the devastating flooding happening in Alaska, where Typhoon Halong has led to evacuations, one confirmed death, and dozens of rescues. Rae shares on-the-ground perspectives from impacted communities. They also discuss the Trump’s administration’s plan to turn Alcatraz back into a prison, Detroit’s new Native land purchase policy, and a Pennsylvania lawmaker’s push to ban Native mascots in public schools. And of course, they have great calls from listeners!

John's monologue focuses on Trump's revenge tour part 3 - this time former National Security Advisor John Bolton has been indicted by the DOJ on charges he allegedly mishandled classified information. He also talks about Republicans amping up the rhetoric on Saturday’s NO KINGS protests scheduled to take place at hundreds of locations nationwide, trying to label the purest, simplest exercise of our democracy as something that is UNAMERICAN. Next, he welcomes back award-winning investigative journalist Bob Hennelly to discuss the impact on federal workers during this government shutdown. Then finally, John interviews Sen. Graciela Guzman from Illinois on Trump's attempt to deploy the military to Chicago. She discusses how state leaders are responding to the deployment, what oversight is needed, and how communities can prioritize safety over surveillance.

John this time discusses Politico releasing to the public a Young Republican group chat that included racist language, jokes about rape and flippant commentary on gas chambers - which then prompted bipartisan calls for those involved to be removed from or resign their positions. He also talks about Trump, who is once again back at it with extrajudicial killings of brown people he claims are "narcoterrorists". There is no credible factual or legal argument that we're engaged in an armed conflict with any drug cartel under international law... so Trump and Hegseth's excuses don't hold water. Next, he speaks with writer, theologian, and permaculture enthusiast Dillon Naber Cruz on the evils of Christian Nationalism which is at the heart of the rude and racist Young Republican group chat. And lastly, John welcomes back legal analyst Dr. Tracy Pearson to answer questions from listeners.
