John's monologue this time discusses Trump's executive order directing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to "take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education," and to do so "to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law." Experts say this will devastate low income students and rural communities. Then, he welcomes back Reverend Barry Lynn to chat about Elon and DOGE, the future of US education, and the best movies this year. And finally, Simon Moya-Smith and Julie Francella are back for their Native American segment "We're Still Here". They talk with listeners about the recent federal White-Washing of non-white history including the Navajo code talkers, Greenpeace being found liable for $667 million in damages from the Dakota Access pipeline protests, and the media's snubbing of missing indigenous women.
