John this time discusses Politico releasing to the public a Young Republican group chat that included racist language, jokes about rape and flippant commentary on gas chambers - which then prompted bipartisan calls for those involved to be removed from or resign their positions. He also talks about Trump, who is once again back at it with extrajudicial killings of brown people he claims are "narcoterrorists". There is no credible factual or legal argument that we're engaged in an armed conflict with any drug cartel under international law... so Trump and Hegseth's excuses don't hold water. Next, he speaks with writer, theologian, and permaculture enthusiast Dillon Naber Cruz on the evils of Christian Nationalism which is at the heart of the rude and racist Young Republican group chat. And lastly, John welcomes back legal analyst Dr. Tracy Pearson to answer questions from listeners.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
