In the first part of this multi-part episode, Ben, Matt and Noel explore what happened, what evidence may or may not exist, and, perhaps most importantly: how this single event exposed a deep divide between the general public, the media, and the power structure of American society overall.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation announcement halts any progress on a $48 billion proposal to reform child welfare systems on reserves. It also stalls a First Nations clean drinking water bill. Trudeau received both praise and criticism from Indigenous leaders following his resignation announcement. We’ll look at how Trudeau delivered on Indigenous issues in Canada. Robert and Garrison are joined by Ed Zitron and Ed Ongweso Jr. to discuss the future of AI entertainment at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Roselyn Tso (Diné) spent just over two years as director of the Indian Health Service. But her career at the agency spanned more than three decades, most recently as the IHS Navajo Area Director. As her term comes to an end, we’ll hear about her call to provide health care for Native Americans, food as medicine, and the immediate and long-term hurdles for IHS.
We’ll also get an update on efforts by IHS to head off RSV infections that are putting Native children in the hospital as much as ten times more frequently than other populations.
