On this week's episode we're diving into the warning signs of Texas gerrymandering that Isaiah Martin highlighted in Town Hall meeting weeks prior. As concerned citizens, it's essential to stay informed about the actions of politicians like Greg Abbott and their impact on our democracy. Jolanda Jones, a Democrat, would likely agree that we need to hold our leaders accountable. In other news, the Corporation of Public Broadcasting, also known as CPB, is dealing with fallout from the Trump administration as funding for their programming has been CANCELED. And, on a lighter note, a a man claiming to be Colonel Sanders great nephew, 3 time over, has beef with KFC, the fried chicken food chain, and has released the *official* recipe on social media.

Send us a textThe Corporation for Public Broadcasting's funding has been cut by the Trump administration. This, of course, was laid out in Project 2025 by Russel Vought, one of its key architects. He's now the head of Trump's Office of Management and Budget. His office made the decision to retract already-allocated funds that were earmarked for CPB, which is why they're shutting down at the end of this year.Y'all remember when Trump said he knew nothing about Project 2025?

Here's a brief on the current status of public media. In short: it ain't good. If you're a regular listener to MMN, you probably know that over the more than 150 episodes that we've produced a sizable chunk of them involved conversations with documentary filmmakers whose work was broadcast on public media outlets like PBS and NPR. Much of the reason that these documentaries have found a home at places like PBS is because they deal with important issues—issues that impact the health of our democracy, our natural environment, the rights of marginalized groups, and often compelling human interest stories that the commercial broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox) fear won't attract a big enough audience to sell to advertisers. That's not to say that thoughtful, well-made, and illuminating documentaries can't be found on commercial broadcast networks or subscription-funded streaming platforms like Netflix, Apple TV, or Amazon Prime. But public media is often the last bastion of informational and educational programming that is (or was) available to all: free of charge and free of advertiser oversight. On August 1, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced that it would shut down after nearly 6 decades of services. In the aftermath of the announcement, I read and heard lots of concern—and no small amount of confusion—about what that means and why it matters. Lucky for me, later on that same day, I read, in the online publication Vulture, an extremely helpful overview of what CPB is and how its relationship to public media works written by journalist Nicholas Quah. So I thought I'd take some time to share excerpts from that article to help those concerned understand exactly where things stand. The article, which I've linked to in our episode notes, is titled “The Future of Public Media Looks Rocky” Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum. From providing fiscal sponsorship to presenting an array of informative and educational programs, Filmmakers Collaborative supports creatives at every step in their journey.

Episode Summary: In this landmark 99th episode of the "90 Miles from Needles: The Desert Protection Podcast," Chris Clarke sets the stage for the upcoming 100th episode celebration, inviting listeners to join a special recording featuring prominent writers and activists. The episode examines the impact of a massive budget cut to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, exploring how this decision threatens the viability of many local public media outlets, particularly in rural and tribal areas. Chris discusses the slashing of $548 million in funding from the CPB by the Trump administration, grounding the issue in a broader context of how public media serves as a lifeline for communities during emergencies and supports local culture and education. As cuts disproportionately affect stations serving communities of color and Native American tribes, public radio faces an existential threat, underscoring the podcast's commitment to amplifying voices and stories in endangered desert regions. Key Takeaways: The "90 Miles from Needles" podcast has reached its 99th episode, with plans for an interactive 100th episode featuring special guests and a live public reading. The Trump administration has enacted devastating cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, eliminating $548 million in grants that support local radio and television stations. Rural and tribal radio stations, such as those in Arizona and New Mexico, face significant funding challenges, potentially losing up to 96% of their budgets. A call to action is issued to support public media and the podcast, highlighting the critical role of listener contributions in sustaining independent journalism and storytelling. Notable Quotes: "The difference between having cuts take away 20 to 96% of your budget and having them take away 4% is public support." — Chris Clarke "We have just under 200 people who have supported 90 miles from Needles financially through the last three and a half years." — Chris Clarke "Republican cuts to local public radio and TV stations are reckless, dangerous and put New Mexicans directly in harm's way." — Quoting Senator Martin Heinrich Resources: Adopt A Station: https://adoptastation.org 90 Miles from Needles - Official Website: https://90milesfromneedles.com Support Portal: https://90milesfromneedles.com/donate Project Blue Updates: https://www.instagram.com/no_desert_data_center/?hl=en 100th Episode Zoom link: https://90milesfromneedles.com/100 Become a desert defender!: https://90milesfromneedles.com/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Kadie DiGiuseppe delivers the news on the suspect at large for the killings of 4 people in Montana, the CPB getting defunded and the backlash for Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle Outfitters campaign on 8/2/25.
Last month, public radio and television stations across the country learned Congress voted to eliminate all federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. CPB distributes federal money to more than 1,500 noncommercial TV and radio stations across the country.When we came to you to help us fill the gap of money lost – you rose to the occasion and pledged almost half the money we are expected to lose in just 6-hours. In your messages and calls, many of you also asked us how we can also support rural stations who do important work, and who face a steep climb to make up large cuts in federal funding.Today we focus on our friends at North Country Public Radio.
President Donald Trump on Friday fired the commissioner of Labor Statistics, accusing the Biden appointee of revising jobs numbers. In a social media post, the president said he was informed that Commissioner Erika McEntarfer had manipulated labor statistics to help Democratic candidate Kamala Harris win the White House.Trump announced Friday that he's ordering two nuclear submarines to be repositioned in case of Russian aggression. The move follows comments from Dmitry Medvedev—Russia's former president and current chairman of the Security Council—who spoke of a possible war with the United States.The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB)—which funds NPR and PBS—will begin to wind down its operations. This comes after an appropriations bill for fiscal year 2026 passed by Congress excludes funding for CPB for the first time in more than five decades.

Burgum, Bondi visit Alcatraz as Native activists push back on plan Some tribal stations may close after Trump claws back CPB funding NCAI opposes Trump's revival of 'racist mascots' in DC, Cleveland
There was a time when being a member of the ACLU meant defending the speech of people you despised—not because you endorsed them, but because the principle of liberty mattered more than comfort. I joined for that reason. I wasn't virtue signaling. I was pledging allegiance to the Constitution, the real one—not the cosplay version people wave when it suits them.Now? The ACLU defends speech selectively. The Human Rights Campaign operates more like a branding arm of one political party. And free speech? Somehow that's been redefined as violence. Ironically, actual violence is often written off as passion or protest.I'm not saying this in a red hat. I'm saying this as someone who remembers when progressives stood for open discourse. I grew up in Hawai‘i surrounded by every possible kind of person—different skin, different languages, different politics. They were still mine. I worked with Frank Burns, the general who wrote “Be All You Can Be.” I was close to his son, Scott. I loved Hope O'Keeffe, a brilliant constitutional lawyer. These people weren't footnotes. They shaped my beliefs.Someone once said I was trying to get myself on the SPLC watchlist. It hurt because it felt a little true. I've been next to too many counternarratives for too long—from New Media Strategies to memes.org to spelunking rabbit holes on forums nobody talks about in polite company. I don't think I'm flagged. But I'm filtered—soft-shadowbanned, algorithmically sidelined, quietly removed from the conversation without anyone needing to tell me so.And the language—God, the language. I watched “racist” morph from describing segregationists to being tossed like a beer can at people like me: 55, white, straight, Christian, gun-owning, ex-ACLU donor. “Fascist” now applies to suburban parents who speak up at school board meetings. These words used to be magic spells. Now they're wallpaper.And when every act is fascism, when every opinion is white supremacy, the terms lose meaning. The public square becomes a theater of accusation. And many of us? We quietly walked away. The left won the culture war, sure. The right didn't argue. They built something else.While the activist class raged on TikTok and MSNBC, the right unplugged. They stopped donating. They stopped attending. They didn't march. They starved the beast. Defund NPR? You don't need a vote—just stop the grants that trickle in through CPB, NEA, USAID, and other soft-funding channels. NPR says it only receives 2% of its budget from the federal government. But insiders know better—those streams run deep.Same for universities. You can't shut them down outright—it would look authoritarian. But redefine their worst excesses (and many now qualify) as violations of civil rights law—like antisemitism—and you can cut off Title VI funding. You don't need bayonets. You need bean counters.The left made everything sacred: identity, language, tone, even silence. The right made nothing sacred except autonomy. The right didn't want to control cities. They wanted to starve them—cut off food, fuel, infrastructure—and watch the bloated coastlines retreat. The right doesn't dream of invading blue cities. They plan to outlast them.And still, the same spells are being cast: bigot, fascist, hater, Hitler. But the spell is broken. Because I see the restaurant going dark. I see the check left unpaid. I see the waiter backing away. And I see the activists arguing about the pronouns on the dessert menu.I'm not here to storm anything. I'm not calling for a new party, a movement, or revolt. I'm just the watcher. I was here when speech was sacred. I was here when dissent wasn't pathology. And I'll still be here when the lights go out and the last credit card gets declined.
Another scandal erupted for Trump this week, but this time it was MAGA up in arms over the Administration's doublespeak & failure to release the promised files involving Jeffrey Epstein. He also notched successes elsewhere, notably when Judiciary Committee Republicans unanimously approved his atrocious nomination of Emil Bove, and Congressional R's eliminated public funding for NPR & CPB.

President Trump may have a huge tent of support, but his base is not the type to take anyone's word at face value, so many among the MAGA movement are not satisfied with the DOJ's 180-degree turn on the release of the Jeffrey Epstein client list. Trump, however, doubled down on not releasing the list despite the pressure from his own side.

We’re closing in on the deadline for President Trump’s rescission package. Senate Republicans have until this Friday to pass the package with a simple majority. If they don’t, they’ll face a Democratic filibuster that they’ll need 60 votes to overcome. On Tuesday, the Senate voted to advance rescissions with a 51-50 vote – Vice President JD Vance was the tie breaker. Republican Senators Collins, Murkowski, and McConnell all voted no. Today, Senators will have up to 10 hours of debate before the final floor vote – if they pass the package, it will then head back to the House for a vote, before going to the President’s desk. Again, this all needs to happen by the end of Friday. So that’s a lot of procedural details, but let’s get to the nitty gritty: If this passes, the Administration would claw back $9 billion dollars in previously approved funding – most of which is intended for global health programs and foreign aid projects. It would also rescind more than $1.1 billion dollars currently budgeted for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, or CPB. You’re listening to public radio right now - so you’re probably well aware that those dollars include funding for KUOW, as well as other local public radio and TV stations, which receive support from the CPB. What exactly would the impact of rescission be for Seattle stations? Can public media survive these cuts? And, with news becoming increasingly fragmented, should taxpayers still pay for public media? We’re putting those questions to leaders of local public media organizations. Guests: Kerry Swanson is interim CEO of KUOW Rob Dunlop is CEO and President of Cascade PBS Ethan Raup is CEO and President of KEXP Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

There have been days of anger and unrest in Los Angeles over illegal immigration raids and arrests. The ICE operations that sparked the protests began on Friday, the same day that perhaps the most infamous deportee, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, was brought back to the U.S. after spending weeks in El Salvador. Although he's back in America, thanks to a Supreme Court order, he will now face federal human trafficking charges. Texas Republican Michael McCaul joins the FOX News Rundown to discuss Abrego Garcia's case, the unrest in Los Angeles, and why he believes there was a need for President Trump's tough immigration policies following four years of the Biden administration. It is primary day in the New Jersey gubernatorial race. While it's an off-year election, voter turnout and the extent to which President Trump's agenda is on voters' minds will draw significant attention. In recent elections, Republicans have made progress flipping blue districts red and attempting to turn the state purple. The Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael Watley, joins the Rundown to discuss whether his party's momentum in states like New Jersey will continue into 2026, what the race in the Garden State may tell us about the national trends, and the importance of Congress passing that 'one big, beautiful bill'.

This Day in Legal History: Timothy McVeigh ConvictedOn June 2, 1997, Timothy McVeigh was convicted by a federal jury for his role in the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history at the time—the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The attack killed 168 people, including 19 children, and injured hundreds more. McVeigh, a Gulf War veteran, carried out the bombing using a truck packed with explosives parked in front of the building. The trial, held in Denver due to pretrial publicity concerns in Oklahoma, lasted over five weeks and featured powerful testimony from survivors and victims' families.The jury found McVeigh guilty on all 11 counts, including conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction and eight counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of federal law enforcement personnel. His conviction marked a pivotal moment in how the U.S. viewed and responded to homegrown terrorism. Eleven days later, McVeigh was sentenced to death by lethal injection, a sentence he did not appeal.McVeigh's case underscored the rise of anti-government extremism in the 1990s and prompted a reevaluation of domestic security protocols. It also led to legislative changes, including the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, which aimed to streamline federal habeas corpus appeals and enhance penalties for terrorism-related offenses. McVeigh was executed in 2001, the first federal execution in 38 years.The U.S. Supreme Court recently handed key legal victories to President Donald Trump's administration on immigration, allowing it to proceed with controversial deportation policies. The Court lifted lower court orders that had blocked the termination of humanitarian parole and temporary protected status for over 800,000 migrants, including many from Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua. Though these rulings advanced Trump's hardline agenda, the justices also expressed concern over the fairness of how deportations are being carried out, particularly regarding due process rights.In multiple rulings, the Court emphasized that even non-citizens, including alleged gang members, are entitled to proper notice and the opportunity to contest deportation. In one case, it blocked an attempt to quickly remove migrants from a Texas detention center without giving them enough time or information to respond legally. The justices also limited the administration's use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants, a law historically used only during wartime.The Court also ordered the administration to assist in returning a wrongly deported migrant, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, to the U.S.—a directive that has yet to be fulfilled. Legal experts note that while the Court has tried to rein in some of the administration's most extreme actions, it continues to show broad deference to presidential authority over immigration. This deference was evident as the justices issued high-impact rulings without written explanation, stripping legal protections from hundreds of thousands of migrants.Pending cases before the Court include challenges to Trump's attempt to limit birthright citizenship and to expand deportations to unstable third countries like South Sudan. A lower court found the administration violated migrants' rights by attempting such deportations without adequate legal process.Trump gets key wins at Supreme Court on immigration, despite some misgivings | ReutersA federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from invalidating work permits and legal status documents for approximately 5,000 Venezuelan migrants, despite the U.S. Supreme Court recently allowing broader termination of protections for hundreds of thousands under the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. U.S. District Judge Edward Chen ruled that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem likely overstepped her authority by voiding these documents in February while ending TPS for Venezuelans more generally.Although the Supreme Court lifted Chen's earlier injunction halting the broader termination of TPS on May 19, it did not preclude migrants from challenging the cancellation of individual documents tied to the program. These documents were issued after President Biden extended TPS protections for Venezuelans through October 2026. Judge Chen found that nothing in the TPS statute allowed the Secretary to retroactively invalidate permits already granted.The decision safeguards the legal status of the small subset of Venezuelans who possess these documents, allowing them to remain employed and protected from deportation. Chen emphasized that the relatively low number—around 5,000—undermines arguments that their continued presence poses economic or national security risks. The ruling comes just hours after the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to end a separate parole program affecting over half a million migrants from four countries.US judge blocks Trump from invalidating 5,000 Venezuelans' legal documents | ReutersGoogle announced it will appeal a recent antitrust ruling that found the company unlawfully maintained a monopoly in online search, even as a federal judge considers less aggressive remedies than those sought by U.S. antitrust enforcers. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta recently concluded a trial over how to address Google's dominance, with the Justice Department and a coalition of states advocating for strong structural changes—such as forcing Google to divest parts of its ad tech business and cease paying Apple and other companies to remain the default search engine.In response, Google reiterated its disagreement with the original decision, arguing that the Court erred and expressing confidence in its planned appeal. Antitrust officials have pushed for remedies that include requiring Google to share search data and end exclusive agreements they claim restrict market competition, particularly in the evolving field of AI-driven search.At the hearing, Google's attorney John Schmidtlein noted the company has already taken steps to improve competition, such as ending exclusive deals with smartphone manufacturers and wireless carriers. This, Google argues, allows for more freedom to include rival search and AI applications on devices.Google says it will appeal online search antitrust decision | ReutersPBS has filed a lawsuit against Trump over an executive order that cuts federal funding to the public broadcaster, calling the move a violation of the First Amendment. The complaint, filed in a Washington, D.C. federal court, argues that Trump's May 1 order is an act of viewpoint discrimination because it targets PBS over the content of its programming. PBS claims the funding cut is a retaliatory response to perceived political bias in its coverage, amounting to unconstitutional government interference in free speech.The order instructs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to halt financial support for both PBS and NPR. PBS stated that while CPB provides only 16% of its overall budget, the ban would also affect local member stations that rely on federal support and contribute 61% of PBS's funding through dues. PBS and Lakeland PBS, a Minnesota-based station, are plaintiffs in the case, arguing that the executive order would destabilize public television across the country.The Trump administration defended the cuts as a necessary step to prevent public funds from supporting what it labeled partisan or ideologically driven programming. NPR has also filed a separate lawsuit to block the order. The CPB, which receives congressional funding two years in advance to minimize political interference, previously sued Trump over his attempt to remove board members.PBS sues Trump to reverse funding cuts | Reuters This is a public episode.

What if your next import shipment becomes the centre of a federal enforcement action — not because of criminal intent, but because of a mistake? In today's episode, Michael Volkov breaks down the expanding power and reach of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB) and what it means for businesses navigating an increasingly aggressive trade enforcement landscape. With the Trump Administration's re-defined objective of fair trade, companies across all sectors need to brace for scrutiny, adapt to evolving risks, and rethink their compliance strategies.You'll hear him discuss:The Trump Administration's focus on fair trade and why CPB has become a central enforcement agency under this new agendaHow CPB exercises its authority to impose regulatory penalties, seize goods, and refer serious cases for civil or criminal prosecutionThe legal standards that determine the severity of violations — fraud, gross negligence, or negligence — and how each carries different penalty thresholdsWhy the materiality of a false statement or omission is a key factor in determining whether a violation has occurredThe importance of voluntary disclosure and how it can significantly reduce potential penalties and protect company reputationThe step-by-step process of CPB administrative enforcement, including investigations, pre-penalty notices, appeals, and mitigation optionsThe expanding impact of the Enforce and Protect Act (EAPA), and how companies can be held accountable for evading anti-dumping and countervailing dutiesWhy businesses must now take a closer look at their import documentation, supply chain practices, and overall trade compliance postureResourcesMichael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group
The federal government is aiming to take steps to reduce public funding to public media sources through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.On Today's Show:LaFontaine Oliver, president and CEO of New York Public Radio, talks about the executive order President Trump signed regarding federal funding for public media and what comes next for the NYPR and the broader system.
Public media funding makes up less than 0.0001% of the federal budget, and calls to defund it have existed essentially since the creation of the CBP in 1967. However, the history of public media is much longer, and more complicated, than the creation of Sesame Street or NPR. We revisit our episode from last year about how the government funds public media, through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and how that money is spent. We also talk about free press, and the firewall that prevents politicians and the government from controlling the flow of public information and educational programming. Since the episode first came out in July, 2024, President Trump has re-entered office, and has taken a number of steps to discredit and disassemble the free press, including public media. Trump has called for the FCC, the Federal Communications Commission, to investigate NPR and other public media organizations for their use of corporate support. He also recently announced that he had fired three members of the CPB's five-member board, something the CPB has said he does not have the authority to do, in a lawsuit they filed against his administration. And finally, alongside calling for Congress to defund the CPB, he issued an executive order telling the CPB to halt all funding to public media, which, as you'll learn more about in the episode, is the kind of political directive that the CPB was created to prevent in the first place.

On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and all executive departments to end federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). The order claims that the outlets fail to offer “a fair, accurate, or unbiased portrayal of current events to taxpaying citizens” and instructs the CPB to “cancel existing direct funding to the maximum extent allowed by law” and “decline to provide future funding.” Executives at NPR and PBS called the order unlawful and said they would challenge it.

The Trump administration is expected to ask Congress to rescind more than $1 billion of funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the congressionally-created body through which NPR and PBS get federal funding, including for this program. The CPB is also suing the administration saying it illegally fired three members of the board. Amna Nawaz discussed more with PBS CEO Paula Kerger.
