    Trump LASHES OUT After Gag Order as Criminal Case GETS REAL

    Trump LASHES OUT After Gag Order as Criminal Case GETS REAL
    Defense attorney Michael Popok & former prosecutor Karen Friedman Agnifilo are back with a new episode of the midweek edition of the Legal AF pod. On this episode, they debate: developments in the Manhattan DA prosecution of Trump as the Judge prepares for the April 15th trial and reprimands Trump’s lawyers while gagging Trump; whether the appellate court lowering the bond amount 62 PERCENT that Trump has to put up to stop enforcement of the $465 million civil fraud judgment means that they are concerned about certain aspects of the trial judge’s rulings; whether Fulton County DA Fani Willis will move for a new indictment of Trump as the trial court considers new motions to dismiss, whether the US Supreme Court will rule that a woman does not have a right to access medicated abortion pills, and so much more at the intersection of law, politics and justice.

    Jordan Klepper on Trump's Bible Grift and the GOP Reaction to the Baltimore Bridge Collapse | Jim Sciutto

    Jordan Klepper on Trump's Bible Grift and the GOP Reaction to the Baltimore Bridge Collapse | Jim Sciutto

    Jordan Klepper tackles Trump’s new branded Bibles and how right-wing media is rushing to blame the Baltimore bridge collapse on Democratic policy. Plus, Josh Johnson weighs in on Florida’s social media ban for children under 14, and what this means for the rising generation of schoolyard bullies. The Supreme Court’s latest abortion pill ruling exposes the Republican’s struggle to secure female voters while taking their rights away. Jordan Klepper dives into the GOP’s woman problem, and how they plan to win them back. Also, CNN anchor, chief national security analyst, and bestselling author, Jim Sciutto, joins Jordan Klepper to discuss his new book “The Return of Great Powers.” They discuss the importance of communication with Russia and China, the crisis of education on supporting NATO, and how we can learn from history to avoid a nuclear world war.

    Ivanka’s TERRIBLE DAY in Court, Trump COMPLETELY LOSES IT
    Michael Popok & Karen Friedman Agnifilo are back with a new episode of the midweek edition of the Legal AF pod. On this episode, they discuss: developments in the NY Civil Fraud case against Trump and others, with Ivanka taking the stand and her confessions and concessions; developments in the DC Election Interference case, with the Special Counsel telling the Court that Donald Trump can’t hide behind his purported belief that he won the election to commit criminal conspiracies, and the Court ordering Trump to put up or shut up about his “reliance on advice of counsel” defense, the US Supreme Court’s oral argument as to whether violent domestic violence abusers can be disarmed under the 2nd Amendment, what the recent wins for a woman’s right to choose in Virginia and Ohio mean for the presidential election, and more from the intersection of law, politics and justice.

    What Happens After The Protests In Iran?

    What Happens After The Protests In Iran?
    "This kind of dissent? It doesn't go away." That's what NPR heard from a 20-year-old woman on the street in Tehran.

    Mary Louise Kelly and a team of producers traveled there last week to see what life looks like, and what remains of the protests that shook the country for months, sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini.

    Amini died in police custody after being detained, reportedly for improperly wearing a headscarf, part of Iran's strict dress code for women. Human rights groups say the regime cracked down on those protests with killings, arrests and executions.

    In Iran, NPR found people frightened of the regime, but who felt nevertheless compelled to air their grievances.

    We speak with Ali Vaez, an Iran expert with the International Crisis Group, about the lingering discontent behind the protests and what could happen next.

    Find more of NPR's reporting from Iran.

    An Abortion Rights Champion of the 1970s on Life Before and After Roe

    An Abortion Rights Champion of the 1970s on Life Before and After Roe

    A little over 50 years ago, Nancy Stearns, a young lawyer, was presenting a case in New York with a bold legal assertion: that the right to abortion was fundamental to equal rights for women.

    She never got to conclude her argument — first New York changed the law, then came Roe v. Wade. Now, with Roe overturned, she describes how it feels to watch the right to terminate a pregnancy fall away.

    Guest: Nancy Stearns, a lawyer who used an argument of equal rights to challenge the constitutionality of abortion bans.

    The Short Life of Qandeel Baloch

    The Short Life of Qandeel Baloch
    Qandeel Baloch grew up in a conservative village in Pakistan called Shah Sadar Din, a place where it was shocking to see a woman swimming outdoors. She ran away from home, changed her name from Fouzia Azeem, auditioned for Pakistan Idol, and eventually became “Pakistan’s first social media star.” By 2015, she was reported to be one of the 10 most Googled people in Pakistan. As she became more famous, Qandeel Baloch also became more controversial. She received intense criticism when she posed for photos with a famous cleric named Mufti Abdul Qavi in his Karachi hotel room and later tweeted that he had behaved inappropriately, in June 2016. The next month, she was dead. Her brother, Waseem Azeem, confessed to her murder. He said, “She was bringing disrepute to our family’s honour and I could not tolerate it any further.” Because of a loophole in Pakistan’s laws regarding honor killings, he believed he would not be punished.
