As the Trump administration continues to weaponize the Justice Department and FBI, Jon is joined by former Special Counsel Jack Smith and former Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll to examine what happens when these institutions are turned against the principles they were designed to uphold. Together, they explore whether the DOJ and FBI are capable of holding power accountable, investigate how the assault on the rule of law has been used to punish and intimidate public servants, and consider what it would take to repair these institutions. Plus, Jon answers listener questions on Trump’s happiness and Democrats 2028.

Chase Iron Eyes drops everything following Renee Good's killing by ICE to join protests on the streets of Minneapolis. Chase, a resident of the Pine Ridge reservation, is a lawyer whose life and work are shaped by generations of Native American resistance.

With 3,000 federal agents deployed to the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area as part of Operation Metro Surge, Chase sees the impact of the crackdown for himself. When ICE begins targeting Native Americans in Minnesota, he works to move street-level resistance into the courtroom.

Chase, alongside other human rights lawyers, mounts a legal challenge and pursues class-action lawsuits against ICE and the Department of Homeland Security.

Native Americans Resisting ICE is a documentary film by Joi Lee and Ed Ou.

Right to repair is under attack, and it’s affecting more than just your car. Subscriptions, locked-down parts, and expensive repairs are making it impossible for people to maintain the vehicles they already own. Simple fixes that used to take minutes now cost thousands or force you back to the dealer.

At Edison Motors, we’re building trucks that are simple, repairable, and built to last. We believe in giving people control over what they own instead of forcing them into recurring payments for things they’ve already paid for.

If you support the way Edison approaches vehicle design and ownership, you can learn more about our mission and investment opportunities on our website.

Data centers are popping up all over the nation, and even the world, and they aren't really what we are being told they are. Not so much data storage facilites as they are Artificial Intelligence factories and information processing centers. And they aren't just normal buildings, they are being built like fortresses, with military guards and massive fortified walls and incredible levels of surveillance. But why? If they are just data backups like we have been told, why the need for all that security? Why do they need the weapons and defences necessary to repel an assault or endure a seige? Join me for an exploration into that why, and into what you are not being told about these places.
