Episode 362: We explore chilling events that unfolded at POW Camp 132 in Medicine Hat, Alberta, during World War II. This prisoner-of-war camp, one of many scattered across Canada, became the site of two brutal murders that shocked even hardened veterans and led to Canada's last mass execution. In the summer of 1943, August Plaszek, a former French Foreign Legion soldier forcibly integrated into the German army, met a gruesome end at the hands of Nazi hardliners within the camp. Just over a year later, in September 1944, Karl Lehmann, a university professor turned Luftwaffe interpreter, suffered a similar fate for daring to share news of Germany's failing war effort with his fellow prisoners. These murders, born from the complex dynamics of a “little piece of Germany” transplanted to the Canadian prairies, would set in motion a series of dramatic trials that tested the limits of Canadian justice and international law.

Monday was Trans Day of Visibility and Senate Democrats introduced two new bills that would expand protections for trans Coloradans — and in particular, trans kids — and no GOP Senators supported the legislation. Host Bree Davies and producer Olivia Jewell Love are joined by KUNC government and politics reporter Lucas Brady Woods to dig into how these bills could impact everything from school dress codes to gender-affirming care. Then, Olivia brings a list of the best and worst April Fools' Day pranks from politicians across the state — including Governor Polis' South Park statehouse portrait. Plus, police on ponies, dogs in the Capitol, and more wins and fails of the week! Bree mentioned the KUNC podcast The Colorado Dream and its season called “The Hate State.” She also talked about Brittany Petterson's baby in DC (again), the study of the impacts of the fentanyl criminalization bill and the fundraiser for Rainbow Dome. Olivia talked about the police horse force downtown and the Onyx, Denver's brand new women's rugby team. Lucas talked about frustrations with the vacancy process, the semi-positive ending for state budget cuts and Rep.

Hospitals' access to a federal drug discount program will be strengthened under a bill passed in the Nebraska Legislature Thursday. The 340B program requires drug companies to provide discounts to certain hospitals in exchange for their participation in Medicare and Medicaid. In recent years, some drug companies have placed data reporting requirements on hospitals and restricted which pharmacies they can use to distribute the discounted drugs. A bill from Sen. Brian Hardin prohibits these restrictions.

I. Discovery: The Cornerstone of Fact-FindingThe lecture begins by establishing discovery as a critical, foundational stage in civil litigation, going beyond a mere preliminary step.Key Ideas:Fact-Finding and Transparency: Discovery is the "fact‐finding stage where both parties exchange information to ensure that each side has access to the facts necessary for a fair trial." It aims to replace "trial by ambush" with a system emphasizing "transparency and fairness."Strategic Importance: The lecture emphasizes that "discovery is where cases are frequently won or lost, sometimes even before a judge or jury hears any argument," highlighting its strategic value.A. Mandatory Initial Disclosures (Rule 26(a))Parties are required to proactively provide essential information without a formal request.Key Ideas:Scope of Disclosure: This includes "the identities of individuals likely to possess relevant information, key documents that support claims or defenses, the basis for any computed damages, and information about any insurance agreements that might affect potential recovery."Importance of Accuracy and Completeness: Accuracy in these disclosures is "paramount" to "prevent surprises later on and ensure that both sides are working with as full a picture as possible."B. Discovery ToolsThe lecture details various tools available to parties during discovery.Key Ideas:Depositions: Formal, in-person question-and-answer sessions under oath, useful for "peel[ing] back layers of testimony" and potentially revealing critical information. The lecturer notes that "a well-conducted deposition can often break a case wide open."Interrogatories: Written questions answered under oath, valuable for establishing "the basics—identifying key individuals, understanding the timeline of events, and clarifying the positions of the parties involved." There is generally a "cap on the number of interrogatories" to encourage focused questioning.Requests for Production: Compel the production of documents, emails, and other pertinent evidence, including electronic data, leading to the realm of "e-discovery."Requests for Admission: Ask the opposing party to confirm or deny specific facts. Failure to respond within the timeframe results in the facts being "deemed admitted," which can "dramatically narrow the issues in dispute."Physical and Mental Examinations: Obtainable in cases where a party's condition is at issue, usually court-ordered to provide an "objective assessment."C. Limits and Protections in DiscoveryDiscovery is not unlimited and is subject to certain protections.Key Ideas:Privileges: The "attorney-client privilege protects communications between a lawyer and their client," and the "work product doctrine safeguards materials prepared in anticipation of litigation." However, these are not absolute and can be overcome if a "substantial need" and lack of alternative means of obtaining the information are demonstrated.Handling Discovery Disputes (Rule 37): Courts can impose sanctions for failure to comply with discovery, ranging from "monetary penalties to evidentiary preclusions," underscoring the importance of adhering to "discovery protocols."II. Summary Judgment: Resolving Cases Without TrialSummary judgment is a procedural mechanism to resolve claims when there is no genuine dispute over material facts.Key Ideas:Standard for Summary Judgment (Rule 56): The moving party must demonstrate "that there is no genuine dispute regarding any material fact," meaning "the evidence must be so unequivocal that no reasonable jury could find in favor of the opposing party." The burden then shifts to the non-moving party to show specific facts creating a genuine dispute.Relationship with Discovery: "The evidentiary record that supports or opposes summary judgment is largely built during the discovery phase." A "well-planned discovery strategy can significantly bolster your position on summary judgment."Partial Summary Judgment: The rule

Tom Netting, president of TEN Government Strategies and a trusted Washington insider, returns to provide a critical update on sweeping federal changes affecting higher education. In conversation with Drumm McNaughton, he breaks down the Trump administration's executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, a move that's already led to major staff reductions and the redistribution of responsibilities across other federal agencies. Key Discussion Points Structural Overhaul of the Department of Education: Nearly 50% of ED staff have been laid off, including in core offices such as Federal Student Aid and the Office for Civil Rights. Regional participation offices have been shut down, leaving institutions without direct support contacts. The shift of student loan collections to the Small Business Administration signals an unprecedented reorganization of oversight. Title IX and Civil Rights Rollbacks: The Supreme Court overturned Biden-era Title IX rules, reinstating Trump-era standards. Protections for transgender students and DEI-related compliance structures are being reversed or defunded. OCR layoffs jeopardize ongoing investigations and reduce institutional support. Policy Enforcement Through Funding Threats: Columbia University's $400M in federal funding was withheld and later restored after accepting federal conditions, including police authority to arrest student protesters and the appointment of an academic overseer. These enforcement tactics set a new precedent, raising concerns about academic freedom and governance. Student Loan Crisis and Risk Exposure: Delinquency rates are reportedly spiking, with internal policy discussions suggesting 70–80% of borrowers may be behind. Institutions face growing exposure as default risks rise, with potential Title IV eligibility consequences. Risk-sharing legislation and budget reconciliation proposals could place financial liability on colleges for unpaid loans. Governance, Autonomy, and Institutional Strategy: Boards must take a more active role in navigating federal restructuring and enforcement trends. The implications go beyond compliance—federal funding is increasingly tied to campus culture, policy, and speech. Strategic responses now require governance-level attention to protect institutional mission and integrity. Three Key Takeaways for Higher Education Leaders and Boards Reassure students that aid is still available and prepare them for repayment obligations now managed under new federal structures. Support compliance and financial aid staff as they navigate the loss of regional ED contacts and fast-changing guidance. Re-evaluate governance-level policies on Title IX, DEI, and civil rights to ensure legal alignment and institutional resilience.

Today, Hunter spoke with Nayna Gupta of the American Immigration Council.

Specifically, Nayna walks us through how the Alien Enemies Act, the designation of several cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, and the new Immigration Registration requirement will work in concert to grant the President nearly limitless power to detain and deport people.   Guest Nayna Gupta, Policy Director, American Immigration Council   Resources: American Immigration Council Resources https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/ https://www.instagram.com/immcouncil/ https://x.com/immcouncil https://www.facebook.com/TheAmericanImmigrationCouncil/#   ILRC Red Cards https://www.ilrc.org/red-cards-tarjetas-rojas   Invocation of the Act https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/invocation-of-the-alien-enemies-act-regarding-the-invasion-of-the-united-states-by-tren-de-aragua/   Alien Enemies Act Explained https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/alien-enemies-act-explained https://www.justsecurity.org/109168/alien-enemies-act-litigation/   Judge Blocking the Act and Trump Ignoring the Order http://axios.com/2025/03/14/trump-alien-enemies-act-deportations https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-admin-ignores-judges-order-bring-deportation-planes/story?id=119857181 https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/us/constitutional-crisis.htmlQ   Foreign Terrorist Organization Designation https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/designating-cartels-and-other-organizations-as-foreign-terrorist-organizations-and-specially-designated-global-terrorists/   Registration Requirements https://www.uscis.gov/alienregistration   Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson break down the latest ITR Foundation poll and what it reveals about Iowa voters' priorities. The results show that fiscal issues are more important than ever, with tax policy, government spending, and inflation dominating voter concerns. Surprisingly, issues like illegal immigration and abortion have dropped in importance, possibly reflecting confidence that Trump will address these issues in his second term.Chris and John analyze the overwhelming support for three major fiscal proposals: • A two-thirds majority requirement to raise taxes • Constitutional protection for Iowa's flat tax • A 2% hard cap on local government spending The hosts then shift to the new property tax bill introduced by Senator Dan Dawson and Representative Bobby Kaufmann. The bill includes a 2% cap on city and county spending, and replaces the current rollback system with a new homestead exemption. Chris and John explore how this could impact taxpayers, local governments, and Iowa's long-term fiscal health.Wrapping up, they emphasize that Iowans are demanding structural tax reforms—not just temporary fixes. The hosts praise Iowa's conservative leadership for listening to voters and pushing for meaningful, lasting change.

This week we're diving into some tough but necessary conversations. Iowa just became the first state to strip gender identity from its civil rights law, and the Pentagon is actively targeting trans service members, forcing them out of the military. But in the face of these attacks, we also have stories of resilience—like a major lawsuit challenging Trump's executive orders and my exciting new role as the newsletter coordinator for BLACKlines, keeping Black LGBTQ+ stories alive. Plus, we celebrate Black queer excellence at the Oscars and dive into a powerful queer women's history series. Let's get into it!  

Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a bill into law on Friday that will remove gender identity from the Iowa Civil Rights Act, making Iowa the first state in the U.S. to do so.

This week, Chris and Saied tackle the latest inflation print that came in hotter than a tiger del fuego—and yes, that's the official economic term now. With prices climbing for consumer staples like eggs (who knew you should've invested in chickens?), we dissect what this means for rate cuts, the Fed's next move, and whether we'll all just resort to eating cardboard to save money. And if you thought the government was on top of things, think again—because even regulators are scratching their heads over the latest CFPB drama. A federal agency created to protect consumers is basically getting ghosted by Washington, and let's just say… crypto bros are very excited about this development.➡️ But wait, there's more! We break down the absurdity of credit card interest rates, why Home Alone 2's Plaza Hotel suite now costs more than a used car, and the potential impact of Elon Musk's secret Visa deal. Plus, Saied relives a scandalous youth basketball championship game that involved bad reffing, technical fouls, and one very dramatic post-game car ride. Oh, and Chris is still bleeding money on his studio construction—send thoughts, prayers, and five-star reviews.
