Description

President Trump has warned Iran not to threaten the U.S. again or it will face its “official end” shortly after a rocket landed near the US Embassy in Baghdad.  Iran quickly responded with a hashtag, #NeverThreatenAnIranian.  The US has deployed bombers and an aircraft carrier to the area, as Iran has increased its uranium enrichment production.  Nahal Toosi, foreign affairs correspondent for Politico, joins us to discuss the rising tensions with Iran.

Next, is revenge porn considered free speech?  The Illinois Supreme Court has heard arguments on whether the state’s revenge porn law violates freedom of speech after a woman sent nude photos of her husband’s mistress to friends and family as an example for why the marriage went bad. Deanna Paul, former sex crimes prosecutor, joins us to discuss revenge porn laws.

Finally, now that Game of Thrones is over, has appointment TV officially ended? Will there ever be another show that you have to make time to watch when it airs… or have streaming services and social media changed the way we watch TV?  My producer Miranda joins us to discuss if we’ll ever all watch a show together again.
