Today's Headlines: A man threw Molotov cocktails at a Jewish community group in Boulder, Colorado, injuring six elderly people in what the FBI and DOJ are investigating as a targeted terror attack. In international news, Ukraine launched a major drone strike deep inside Russia without U.S. approval, just before announcing new ceasefire talks. Meanwhile, ceasefire efforts in Gaza stalled as Hamas rejected a U.S.-backed proposal, and over 30 people were killed at an aid site in Rafah. Tensions with China continue to rise, with Trump accusing them of violating tariff agreements, and responding to reports that China is restricting rare-earth exports. Trump also doubled tariffs on steel, days after approving a foreign acquisition of U.S. Steel. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accused China of preparing for war over Taiwan, prompting international pushback. Meanwhile, Trump reportedly gets so few intelligence briefings that Tulsi Gabbard is considering turning them into Fox News-style video packages to hold his attention. He also reposted a conspiracy claiming Biden is a clone. Lastly, Trump withdrew his NASA nominee after learning of the nominee's past donations to Democrats, further straining his alliance with Elon Musk.

What’s Inside: A woman takes a whole rotisserie chicken through airport security—and it’s totally allowed Her viral moment has the internet talking (and laughing) A new study finds Southern accents are disappearing among younger generations Linguists explain what’s causing the shift—and why it matters Episode Description:A woman has gone viral after casually bringing a full rotisserie chicken through airport security. The internet exploded with reactions to her TikTok, but the real surprise? TSA says it’s completely fine. According to People, the cooked bird passed inspection without issue, sparking an online debate about what you can and can’t fly with—and what’s just plain weird to carry through an airport. Meanwhile, AP News reports that the iconic Southern accent is slowly fading among younger people in states like Georgia, North Carolina, and Louisiana. A new study shows that generational and cultural changes are shifting how people speak, especially as cities grow and populations diversify. Linguists say the "Southern drawl" is being replaced by more neutral or blended accents, and it’s not just about language—it’s about identity and the evolution of regional culture.

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they take time to discuss all things related to the pope in light of the recent death of Pope Francis at the age of 88. He served as the head of the Catholic Church for 12 years, and his death certainly sparked a media storm. So this episode takes time to explore the history of the office of the pope, how future popes are elected through the process of the conclave, and more. Episode Links Dr. White mentioned the attention that the 2024 movie Conclave, has been getting, particularly since Pope Francis passed away. Holly Meyer wrote an article recently for Associated Press News titled, “So you saw ‘Conclave' the movie. Here's what it got right – and wrong – about real-life conclaves.” You can read that article HERE. And then, if this episode sparked an interest in learning more about the papacy, here are a number of articles we'd suggest you check out: “What are the Catholic Church's rites after the death of a pope and the election of a new one?” Los Angeles Times. Russell Moore, “A US Evangelical Considers Pope Francis,” Christianity Today. Olivia B. Waxman, “Pope Francis, the ‘World's Parish Priest' Who Led in an Era of Crisis, Dies at 88,” Time.

Thomas Reese, “Why the synod on synodality is confusing to American Catholics,” National Catholic Reporter. “Sede vacante: What happens now, and who is in charge?” The Pillar. Greta Cross, “Conclave smoke: What black and white smoke signal during election of a new pope,” USA Today. Colleen Barry, “Tens of thousands file into St. Peter's Basilica to pay final respects to Pope Francis,” AP News. Ross Douthat, “Can the Catholic Church Quit the Culture Wars?” The New York Times. Marc Ramirez, “Pope Francis was the first Jesuit pope of the Catholic Church. What is a Jesuit?” USA Today. Matthew Walther, “The Real Legacy of Pope Francis,” The Atlantic.

Today's Headlines: After a weekend in Palm Beach and what might have been a PBS movie marathon, President Trump announced plans to reopen Alcatraz as a functioning prison and to impose 100% tariffs on films produced outside the U.S. Trump also introduced a new voluntary self-deportation initiative offering $1,000 and travel expenses to undocumented immigrants who leave the country using a government app. Elsewhere, a Newark air traffic controller is warning travelers to avoid the airport entirely, citing dangerous staffing shortages that have led to major flight cancellations. The FAA is now offering $5,000 bonuses to attract new recruits. In other news, the Department of Education has resumed sending student loan borrowers in default to collections, threatening wage garnishment for millions after a five-year freeze on penalties. Abroad, Israel's government has approved a plan to reoccupy Gaza and displace its population if no hostage and ceasefire deal is reached by mid-May—timed with Trump's upcoming Middle East visit. Meanwhile, 19 state attorneys general and Washington, DC have filed a lawsuit against the Department of Health and Human Services, claiming that deep budget and staffing cuts have dismantled vital programs related to disease control, maternal health, and substance abuse, just as a measles outbreak takes hold.

How defiant do you think she will be knowing that she doesn't face a Biden DOJ, but a Trump DOJ?    Their 2024 campaign? It wasn't about helping Americans. It was one long primal scream of "Trump is coming for revenge!" — a desperate attempt to frame every future prosecution of their actual crimes as mere payback. Case in point: Letitia James, New York's disgrace of an Attorney General.The woman ran her campaign vowing (AP News) to “get Trump,” not enforce the law impartially. Now that her own office's slimy misconduct is under federal investigation, her defense is to shriek "Retribution!" louder than a drunk sorority girl being kicked out of a nightclub.

The problem with running the government like a business

The idea that the government should be run more like a business isn’t new. But with two businessmen, Donald Trump and Elon Musk, now taking a proverbial chainsaw to the federal bureaucracy all in the name “efficiency,” this theory is being put to the test. While it’s an appealing idea, Philip Joyce, professor of public policy at the University of Maryland School of Public Policy, said governments can’t afford to take risks the way businesses can. On the show today, Joyce explains the origins of the idea that the government should be run like a business, how we define “success” differently for the two entities, and how the way Trump and Musk do business is showing up in the White House. Then, we’ll break down the high stakes of today’s special elections in Wisconsin and Florida. Plus, reflections on serendipitous moments in walkable communities and what we gain by admitting we were wrong. Here’s everything we talked about today: “Why Running the Government Like a Business Would Be a Disaster” from The New York Times “The US Government Is Not a Startup” from Wired “The US Postal Service has been struggling for years. Now Trump’s talking about privatizing it” from AP News “DOGE wants businesses to run government services ‘as much as possible'” from The Washington Post “UPDATE: RECOVER Long COVID pathobiology grants restored” from The Sick Times “NIH restores some long COVID grants” from C&EN “What to Watch in Wisconsin's Supreme Court Election and Florida's Special Elections” from The New York Times “What to watch for Tuesday in Wisconsin's high-stakes Supreme Court race and special elections in Florida” from CNN Politics “Control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court is at stake in race that’s drawn powerful political interests” from AP News “Volume 52 | Issue 1 | February 2025” from the American Ethnological Society Got a question or comment for the hosts?
