Muslim Ban is a Bad Idea, Clean Water Rule, Music in Prison

Why a Muslim Ban is a Bad Idea Guest: Frederick Gedicks, Professor of Law, BYU President Trump’s latest travel ban is scheduled to take effect Thursday, barring a court ruling. The president’s order temporarily blocks new visas for travelers from six countries that are majority-Muslim: Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. The measure also suspends refugee admissions for the next several months.  The President’s first attempt to do this was blocked by the court and criticized as a thinly-veiled ban on Muslims, which Trump called for during his campaign. The White House rejects that criticism, noting that both versions of the travel ban focus on nationality, not religion.  Farmers’ Concerns with EPA Water Rule Guest: Reagan Waskom, PhD, Director of the Colorado Water Institute and Water Center, Colorado State University Ranchers and farmers, particularly in the West, have been chafing under the Clean Water Rule, but they got some promised relief a couple weeks ago when President Donald Trump issued an executive order to urging the EPA to rescind or revise the rule.  How Technology Can Ruin Your Love Life Guest: Brandon McDaniel, PhD, Professor of Human Development and Family Science, Illinois State University How long has it been since you checked your phone?
