Weekend Interviews: Simon and Julie - Brad Meltzer

Our weekend podcast again features the popular "We're Still Here" Native American segment with Simon Moya-Smith and Julie Francella. Simon is an Oglala Lakota and Chicano journalist. He’s a contributing writer at NBC News and TheNation.com. Julie is a mental health professional with over 30 years of experience handling complex trauma with Indigenous youth and families. She is a member of the Ojibway of Batchewana First Nation Reserve. This time they discuss Trump's recent crackdown on protesters and the illegal ICE detention of activist Mahmoud Khalil, Bill Maher's recent insulting rant about indigenous people, and the history of the U.S. stealing native land and breaking the treaties they agreed to. And then John welcomes back author Brad Meltzer to joke about Trump and talk about his new book "Make Magic: The Book of Inspiration You Didn't Know You Needed".
