President Trump has held more than two dozen political rallies since winning election. We explore the psychology and history behind these types of rallies; the trial of President Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort resumed today in Alexandria, Virginia; we hear from one of the grandmothers participating in a nationwide protest movement called “Grannies Respond”. She explains the group’s motivation for traveling down to the US-Mexico border; we speak with the co-host of a new podcast which explores the complexities of sickle-cell anemia, through the story of the late rapper, Prodigy. He was one of the founding members of the hip hop duo, Mobb Deep; and we talk with the reporter behind a forthcoming FRONTLINE and ProPublica documentary investigating the white supremacist groups involved in the fatal Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally, almost a year ago.
