News You Missed 7-18-2025 ...Congress will cut Billions of Dollars from NPR Funding

In a week packed with political upheaval, conservative voices celebrate sweeping victories they attribute to Donald Trump's growing influence: Congress passes a historic $9.4B rollback targeting NPR, USAID, and unspent Biden-era funds; two major transgender clinics close; and California's high-speed rail project faces major defunding. Critics of USAID accuse it of fueling global chaos and terrorism, while advocates frame the budget cuts as the beginning of a larger crusade to dismantle the deep state. This episode captures the rising momentum behind America First policies and the backlash to progressive institutions.

Could the Government be taking a step back from helping homeowners after the elements make their homes unliveable? Recent extreme weather events have prompted a rethink of government housing protections. Billions of dollars have been spent over the years on buying out homes after natural disasters. But, in a changing world, and climate, where these events are happening harder and faster, is the idea of the Crown stepping in with unlimited cash unsustainable? Today on The Front Page, Insurance Council chief executive Kris Faafoi joins us to explain what the future looks like for homeowners.

In this fiery discussion, the hosts celebrate Congress passing a $9 billion spending cut targeting programs like USAID, NPR, and PBS. They claim USAID has long operated as a rogue agency, funneling taxpayer money to the Taliban, Hamas, and other U.S. adversaries, funding terror training camps and opioid production. The speakers also accuse USAID's Global Engagement Center of using federal dollars to censor conservative media and suppress Trump's message online. They criticize politicians from Mitch McConnell to Barack Obama for defending the agency and predict more rescission bills are coming to rein in what they call a bastion of anti-American activism and corruption.

In this broadcast, Tara breaks down a historic $9 billion Senate-approved funding cut targeting controversial programs like USAID, NPR, and PBS—calling it a first step toward deeper cuts that could reach hundreds of billions. She argues that USAID has long functioned as a “power center” for the CIA, funneling taxpayer money to enemies like the Taliban and Hamas. The segment details how USAID allegedly propped up terror groups and opium production, contributing to American casualties abroad. Tara then shifts to a New York Times op-ed urging readers to stop ostracizing conservative relatives over COVID and Trump, reflecting on her own painful experiences of political shunning. She questions whether apologies will ever come and whether the country can heal its divisions. Listener texts pour in, sharing stories of fractured families and unexpected reconciliations.

Listen to today's podcast... Don't worry. It's all natural. Herbal medicine is expanding in popularity. According to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition, 70% of adults 60 years and older take at least one supplement daily, and 29% take four or more each day. Billions of dollars are spent annually on herbal products and billions more on vitamins, minerals and other dietary supplements. Herbal supplements have been credited with aiding everything from digestion to depression, but it's important to understand that “all natural” doesn't always translate to safe. Herbal supplements are not regulated like other drugs or foods, so being aware and staying safe and healthy is vital. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!  So Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Herbal Prescription Awareness Month: Follow these Safety Tips: Always talk to your healthcare provider or pharmacist first before taking an herbal medication or supplement to avoid negative impacts with certain foods or other medication. One common herbal medication is St. John's Wort. St. John's Wort can be effective on mild to moderate depression, however it can interact with a large number of medications, including antidepressants, allergy drugs, birth control, and warfarin. Ginkgo, most commonly taken to improve memory, has been shown to interact with aspirin, diuretics, anticonvulsants, antidepressants, and blood thinners. Finally, follow supplement instructions, in the same way that you would follow a prescription from your healthcare provider   If you like today's wellness tips, let me know.

Somewhere around the mid-1970s, Hollywood studios realized that the summer months were the perfect launching point for their most-expensive, highest-profile projects. With kids out of school, families needed something to do. The prestigious Oscar-bait timeframe was half a year away. And people welcomed an opportunity to get out of the sun and into a dark, air-conditioned room to watch grown men get eaten by dinosaurs whilst using the toilet, and countless cars exploding for no discernible reason. Billions of dollars have been made by summer blockbusters, and even a few awards have ben won by them. So for the first of our 2025 Summer Specials, we want to look back at those mega-grossing pictures and try to determine the best Summer Blockbuster Film of all time. Movies discussed: Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Ghostbusters, Grease, Shrek, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, The Dark Knight, The Lion King, Twister, Barbie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jaws, Independence Day, Iron Man, Back to the Future.

Federal agents descended on a park in the middle of Los Angeles midday Monday, showing up on horseback, in armored tanks, and carrying rifles. While it's still not at all clear if the agents made any arrests, a regional Customs and Border Protection chief told a local FOX News reporter, “Better get used to us now, because this is gonna be normal very soon.” He may not be wrong. President Donald Trump's new spending and tax law explodes the budget for immigration and border enforcement, setting aside around $170 billion extra dollars for Trump's mass deportation agenda. Around $75 billion of that money is earmarked specifically for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. California Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla joins us to talk about ICE's aggressive tactics, how immigrants in California are feeling right now, and what Democrats — and all of us — can do to respond.And in headlines: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spent Wednesday waltzing around Capitol Hill meeting with lawmakers, Trump sent out threatening tariffs letters to more countries, and the CEO of the platform formerly known as Twitter coincidentally quit just a day after Elon Musk's AI chatbot went full antisemite.Show Notes:Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

In this episode, we sit down with Johnny Ayers, founder and CEO of Socure, to uncover why government fraud rates remain stubbornly high compared to the private sector—and what it will take to fix them. Johnny shares lessons from working with 17 of the nation's 20 largest banks, state and federal agencies, and over 600 fintechs. Together, we explore the flaws in identity infrastructure, the challenges of updating records like the Death Master File, and the cultural and incentive misalignments that allow billions in fraud to persist. The conversation dives into the realities of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and unemployment insurance fraud, the evolution of scams during the pandemic, and the urgent need for better data sharing, technology, and legislation. If you're interested in the intersection of technology, policy, and the future of fraud prevention, this episode is for you.Johnny Ayers: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnnyayers/00:00:00 - Why Is Government Fraud So Persistent?00:01:05 - Introducing Johnny Ayers & Socure's Mission00:01:20 - The Biggest Problems at Federal Agencies00:02:15 - Death Master File: Flaws and Opportunities00:04:43 - How Big Is Government Fraud?

Today's Headlines: President Trump signed his sweeping budget bill into law. The law eliminates taxes on silencers and some firearms, adds new taxes on remittances, and includes bizarre provisions like $40 million for a MAGA statue garden and Trump-branded savings accounts for babies. It extends Trump's 2017 tax cuts, slashes Medicaid (projected to leave 12 million uninsured), defunds Planned Parenthood reimbursements, and guts food assistance while ballooning ICE's budget to over $100 billion. Elon Musk, furious over the bill's impact on his business, announced a vague new “America Party” as his teen protégé “Big Balls” was hired by the Social Security Administration. Meanwhile, 79 people died in sudden Texas floods, FEMA grant programs are quietly being withdrawn, and Kristi Noem is under scrutiny for accepting undisclosed payments from a nonprofit promoting her political ambitions. On the global stage, Trump's trade war deadline looms with only 3 of 90 deals finalized, and up to 70% tariffs threatened for non-compliant countries. Proximity talks between Israel and Hamas resume this week in Qatar, as Netanyahu visits the White House following Israel's rejection of Hamas's latest ceasefire demands.

With the U.S.' northern neighbor at bay, for now, Americans should turn their attention to the south, where Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum continues to criticize proposed remittance taxes while defending illegal immigration and even weighing in on U.S. civil unrest. Why the hostility?   On today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson asks the question: Why are our supposed “partners” adding fuel to the fire in a time of instability?   “  This is the killer. They're going to enforce the law all the way back to 2022. … There's $9 trillion of market capitalization in Silicon Valley. But the idea that they're going to be gouged for $2 or $3 billion right in the middle of these heated discussions.   “ They are playing with fire. I have a solution.

Suvi Sharma is the CEO and Co-Founder at SOLARCYCLE. SOLARCYCLE is an emerging leader in the nascent category of solar panel recycling. The astounding ramp of solar panels deployed across the world rivals almost any technology adoption curve in history, and it's far from over. There were only five gigawatts of solar deployed globally between 2000 and 2005. By the end of 2025, a mere 20 years later, there will be around 2,000 gigawatts of solar deployed globally, and the growth is expected to continue to be exponential. That's billions and billions of panels that collectively make up a few hundred thousand square miles of space. And given the rate of installation, most of these panels are early in their expected lifespans. So, what happens when they do hit the end of life? Surely they aren't going to just be landfilled, right? Right? That's what Suvi's here to about. In this episode, we cover: ⁠ [01:16]⁠ Solar panel deployment vs. end-of-life lag⁠[03:40]⁠ Billions of panels, billions of square feet⁠[05:11]⁠ 1.2B panels produced annually—set to triple⁠[07:06]⁠ Why is now the time to build recycling⁠[08:36]⁠ Who's responsible for end-of-life?
