Resistance Radio with John and Regan

My friend, partner and co-producer Ross John joins me in studio!

Ross was the co-producer and he funded the production of THE LONG HOPE, our full length documentary. We discuss the film and its growing relevance in these trying times.

Wow! THIS is the New Year? Is America Great Yet?

We are literally only one week into the New Year and the news cycle is INSANE. Trump hasn't even logged in a full year yet!

It's the New Year! Let's make it new!

My emphasis in 2026 will be regarding Native identity; defending it, promoting it, defining it and protecting it.

December is NOT joyous for everyone. Some of the worst atrocities of the US against Native people occurred in the month of December.

I did separate shows for NYC and DC this week. Here is my Resistance Radio show for WPFW!

I can't believe i have to explain who and what Archie Bunker was!

If you take a racist bigot who abuses his wife, is angry and feels like his white privilege is under constant assault and make him rich and evil, you just turned Archie Bunker into Donald Trump. The trouble is that MANY Americans are fine with that.

As we look back, let's not romanticize military violence; not Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima/Nagasaki or the violence against Venezuela.

We live in troubling times but much of it is history repeating itself. There is NOTHING happening now that hasn't been going on for a very long time. We must remember that.

Four shows left for 2025! So let's go out strong by supporting the program and the stations carrying it.

2025 has proven to be an incredible year by almost any measure. 2026 may be an even bigger run off the cliff or a tipping point. This show is more important than ever in the world we are now living in.

We need to have the courage to reject being held as a subclass of human beings. We are NOT wards of the US government!

The effort to dismantle the illegal doctrines of the US legal and legislative system is quite simply about rejecting being singled out simply for being Native people and cast as wards of the government. We are NOT incompetent! We are NOT inferior! We will NOT beheld in some twisted state of perpetual political and legal purgatory! But some are scared of taking such a bold stance. Some believe the current status somehow protects us. This isn't protection! It's a protection racket designed to oppress us.

Peter d'Errico author of FEDERAL ANTI-INDIAN LAW joins me to discuss recent challenges to the Plenary Powers Doctrine

Sam Alito has questioned this power and now Thomas and Gorsuch are challenging its constitutionality and general legality. To be clear the UN has called doctrines, policies and practices like this, racist, scientifically false, legally invalid, morally condemnable and socially unjust. So where are Kagan, Jackson and Sotomayor?
