The Bulletin

Springtime and the Livin’ Ain’t Easy

Peru permits euthanasia, Florida frets about national security, and Kristi Noem is in the doghouse.

This week on The Bulletin, Mike Cosper and producer Clarissa Moll discuss Florida’s new laws restricting Chinese citizens from real estate transactions and employment at state universities. Conversation turns next to Peru’s first exemption for medically assisted suicide and the growth of the global right-to-die movement. Finally, we talk about dogs—our own and Gov. Kristi Noem’s, to be exact. Can the vice presidential hopeful remain a viable candidate after the release of her new book No Going Back? Special guests Skot Welch and Karen Swallow Prior join the discussion.
