Catch and Kill, The Right to Protest

This week hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany Cross go to the circus: Trump’s Trials. According to the trial testimony of David Pecker, Donald Trump participated in a “catch and kill” scheme with the National Enquirer. The paid scheme prevented them from publishing negative stories about him during the 2016 election. If only we were all so rich…we still wouldn’t do it!  And at the Supreme Court, oral arguments begin to determine whether former President Trump is immune from criminal prosecution for acts committed while in office.   Protests against the war in Gaza have spread from Google to  Morehouse, NYU, Columbia, Stanford, and Yale University (among others). What is up with framing the student-led, anti-war protests as antisemitic? We unpack it on the pod!    In Politics Are Everywhere, American Airlines has made it more difficult to qualify for their frequent flier points, and Angela and Tiff are NOT happy. Andrew asks, is this first world problems y’all?    And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam listeners!
