Podcasts about national public radio npr

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.

What do National Public Radio (NPR), Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), Planned Parenthood (PP) and Transportation Security Administration (TSA)? They all receive millions in taxpayer funded dollars which are used wastefully or to promote ideologies that divide and poison Americans! But thankfully, a time of reckoning is here.

National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) are actively defending their federal funding following an audit by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The audit, part of a broader initiative by the Trump administration to scrutinize government expenditures, has intensified debates over the allocation of taxpayer dollars to public media.With Dan Bongino now joining the Trump administration, we have a unique opportunity to expand this program and potentially step into some of the radio slots he's leaving behind.

He goes on to make the case as to why FEMA should be decentralized in order to enhance disaster response. The Congressman sounds the alarm on China's land purchases near sensitive U.S. sites, including a Bitcoin mining operation near a nuclear missile facility.The Keystone Republican also pushes for transparency in government investigations, slams media bias, and discusses legislation that he has reintroduced in the U.S. House that defunds National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) due to their left-wing propaganda. Furthermore, the retired Brigadier General who served in our military for nearly four decades highlights United States military advancements, including the F-47.You can follow the Congressman on social media by searching for his handle: @RepScottPerry.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if I told you that you can cultivate an engaged, supportive community of fans around your business where people clamor to buy anything you offer and never leave because your community is such an important part of their lives and identities? My guest, Mark Schaefer is the author of Belonging to the Brand, Why Community is the Last Great Marketing Strategy.  In an age of AI and automation where even many global brands are losing market share and relevance, Mark believes that community is the last refuge for preserving our humanity and ensuring brands, businesses, and non-profits stand out. As Mark explains in his book, and as we discussed in this episode, building a community goes way beyond simply amassing a following. Social media followers and casual readers or viewers are a weak relational link. According to Mark Schaefer, the real magic happens when you're able to bring people together so they connect to one another and find a sense of belonging within your brand community. Once you create a community, your organization becomes a home for your audience – a place where they find meaning. And, a sense of meaning is often what is missing from many people's lives today. For all of our technological advancements and social progress, many people feel lonely or socially isolated. As Mark says in his book, we humans are “wired for community,” which can be hard to find in a world that is so virtual and where remote work is common. The demand for community has, perhaps, never been greater than at any time in human history. If you can help fulfill your audience's need for belonging and community, then you will acquire a tribe of loyal supporters and repeat customers. According to Mark's thesis, which I believe is correct, building a community is how organizations can make the greatest impact and drive the biggest outcomes if they're willing to put in the time and work into making their community grow. Creating a community requires long-term thinking and an investment of time and energy, but it will pay off for those who commit to it, as Mark explains on the podcast and in his book.  In this conversation, Mark and I spoke about the importance of community from both a marketing and a sociological perspective. He also shared interesting case studies of people who found success by building communities around their brands. From a business and marketing standpoint, having your own community on an owned channel also strengthens your brand long-term, dramatically increases customer loyalty and retention, and lessens your reliance on the whims of social media algorithms and changing markets.  In this episode, we discussed his “Belonging to the Brand,” published in 2022, but you should also check out his new book that just came out, "Audacious: How Humans Win in an AI Marketing World."

In this episode, Eric Deggans, NPR's TV critic and media analyst, delves into the complexities of modern media. The conversation explores the fractured media landscape, the rise of niche platforms and the responsibilities of media creators and consumers in combating misinformation. Joe and Eric discuss the evolution of local news, the role of algorithms and the impact of tribalism on media consumption as well as unpacking the forces that shape how we engage with information today.

In this episode, Eric sits down with civil rights activist and award-winning journalist Charlayne Hunter-Gault. They discuss her childhood - from being born  in South Carolina during segregation, moving frequently as her father was an army chaplain but spending most of her time in Atlanta. Her early education and the values that were instilled in her at a young age that lent to inspiring her to have high aspirations, self-belief and providing “armor” to shield her throughout her life… and how she gravitated to and was inspired to become a journalist. They discuss the Brown v. Board of Education landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, how Hunter, along with Hamilton Holmes were the two students selected by a committee to integrate white universities in Atlanta… A successful legal challenge that culminated in her admission to the University of Georgia in January 1961—making her one of the first two Black students to integrate the institution. Her illustrious career in journalism, from beginning at the New Yorker magazine, to joining The New York Times  as a metropolitan reporter specializing in coverage of the urban black community, becoming a foreign correspondent for National Public Radio, CNN and the Public Broadcasting…  She reflects on covering Apartheid in South Africa and interviewing nelson Nelson Mandela! To eventually authoring five books —  her most recent one being “My People: Five Decades of Writing about Black Lives”. Her passion for writing about Black Lives and History in a way that shows the full, honest picture and her mission of creating a coalition across generations, in order to preserve and honor the path that was paved by her ancestors… and continue to work together, to strive toward a more perfect union in the United States of America…! Guest Bio: Award-winning journalist, author, and school desegregation pioneer Charlayne Hunter-Gault was born on February 27, 1942, in Due West, South Carolina. In 1961, Hunter became the first African American woman to enroll in the University of Georgia; she was also among the first African American women to graduate from the university, earning a degree in journalism in 1963.After completing college, Hunter moved to New York City, where she worked for The New Yorker magazine in an administrative job and contributed pieces to the “Talk of the Town” section.

This episode, Part 2 in our series with Orthodox Christian scholar Frederica Mathewes-Green, discusses Augustine's concept of a 'god-shaped hole' in our hearts and explores the idea of 'energy' (energeia) in the New Testament. Our conversation delves into the challenges of translating biblical texts from Greek to Latin and Hebrew, the historical context of these translations, and how different translations can impact theological understanding. It also touches on the use of hyperbole and imagery in ancient Hebrew scripture and discusses why seminary students are required to learn Hebrew and Greek to gain a deeper understanding of the biblical worldview.Episode highlights:00:15 The God-Shaped Hole: Exploring Our Innate Desire for Worship00:45 The Concept of 'Energia' in the New Testament01:50 Translation Challenges: From Greek to Latin and Beyond04:15 The Impact of Language on Biblical Interpretation05:30 The Septuagint and the Evolution of the Hebrew Bible07:50 Controversies in Biblical Translations12:10 The Importance of Learning Biblical LanguagesResources mentioned:Two Views of the Cross: Orthodoxy and the West by Frederica Mathewes-GreenMen and Marriage by George GilderAbout the guest:Frederica's website"I write and speak on a wide range of topics.

The labyrinth of democracy has once again witnessed an uncommon twist with the recent legal fracas surrounding the Voting Rights Act. According to a report by National Public Radio (NPR), civil rights groups have opted not to petition the Supreme Court to review a significant ruling, with massive potential repercussions for the enforcement of the Voting Rights Act.The court case in question centers on Donald Trump and Jack Smith. While the specifics of their involvement have not been made entirely clear, the stakes tied to their actions are substantial. The precedent set by this pivotal court ruling could notably impact the fundamental method currently employed to uphold the Voting Rights Act.The Voting Rights Act, enacted in 1965, is a landmark piece of legislation in the United States that prohibits racial discrimination in voting. It has played an essential role in ensuring the sanctity of the democratic process by making it unlawful for any voting procedure to deny or abridge a United States citizen's right to vote on account of race or color.However, the path to justice is often turbulent and fraught with complication and contradiction. The decision by civil rights groups not to seek Supreme Court review of this controversial ruling has thrown an unusual curveball into the already complex landscape of U.S. electoral law.Donald Trump, the consequential figure in American politics, is no stranger to controversy, and this development adds a new dimension to his already multifaceted public persona. The implications for both him and Jack Smith, in the event of this ruling being allowed to stand, could be significant and could have ripple effects throughout the American political system.As we look ahead, the non-appeal in the Voting Rights Act lawsuit underscores a crucial development in an ongoing legal and societal discourse on voting rights. How this story unfolds from here could set new precedents that either strengthen or diminish the essence of the Voting Rights Act.Moreover, this latest development reaffirms the recurrent complexities between legislation and enforcement, particularly where societal issues such as voting rights are concerned. As the legal journey of Donald Trump and Jack Smith continues to intersect with the possible rewriting of long-standing voting rights rules, only time will reveal the ultimate implications for American democracy.While many questions remain unanswered, one thing is clear: This not-to-be-overlooked development in the Voting Rights Act case promises to keep the nation riveted, as the balance of American democracy potentially hangs in the balance.

This spring, NBC News, The New York Times, and National Public Radio (NPR) have each dealt with turmoil for essentially the same reason: journalists taking the critical gaze they deploy to cover the world and turning it inward at their own employers. Journalism as a profession attracts people who are anti-authoritarian, and who see themselves as truth-tellers. Many believe the way to make an organization better is by criticizing it, said Tom Rosenstiel, co-author of “The Elements of Journalism” and a professor at the University of Maryland. NPR editor Uri Berliner didn't receive much internal support for his complaints, but that actually reinforced his point. He said NPR had become too one-sided in promoting a liberal point of view, and that he went public with an essay in another news outlet when his concerns went unanswered by his superiors. NPR management says he is wrong. But Berliner quickly became a hero among conservatives who held the same belief. There are several reasons why many journalists are more apt now to go public with complaints they may once have kept sharing with colleagues down at the corner bar. Among them is the likelihood that their outlet is owned by a faraway hedge fund instead of a local family, said Joel Kaplan, associate dean for graduate studies at Syracuse University's Newhouse communications school and a former Chicago Tribune reporter. A generational change also has emboldened many young journalists. In his own classroom, Kaplan sees more young journalists questioning traditional notions of objectivity that keep them from expressing opinions. Many believe they have the right to state their beliefs and support causes, he said. “Now you have journalists that are advocates,” Rosenstiel said. “That reflects something of a culture war that is happening inside of journalism.” Some traditionalists, like former Washington Post editor Marty Baron, have despaired over some of these changes. Battles with young staff members over how they express their opinions over social media left him despondent, a factor in his eventual retirement. “Never have I felt more distant from my fellow journalists,” he wrote about a staff meeting on the topic in his 2023 book “Collision of Power.” This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Join Jim and Greg as they sound off on some good news out of the House of Representatives and some really crazy news about taxpayer-funded media and President Biden's latest whoppers. First, they're glad to see a big bipartisan majority in the House of Representatives vote to declare the Iran-backed Houthis to be a "Foreign Terrorist Organization" again. If the Senate also passes it, Jim and Greg hope Biden will the sign the bill and not stubbornly stick to his decision to reverse President Trump designation of the Houthis as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Then, they wince as National Public Radio (NPR) basically forces longtime editor Uri Berliner out after he publicly scolded NPR for engaging in partisan politics by stifling stories like the Hunter Biden laptop and the origins of COVID while reporting Rep. Adam Schiff's version of the Trump-Russia investigation as the truth. Instead, leaders there are proving most of Berliner's accusations true and embracing leftist narratives. They also recoil at a TED Talk that new NPR CEO Katherine Maher delivered about how we all have our own truths and that building consensus is more important than pursuing truth. Finally, they groan as President Biden repeatedly tells the thoroughly disproven story of his uncle allegedly getting by cannibals in New Guinea during World War II. And Biden also claims he told Israel not to go into Haifa - which is an Israeli city. But Jim says the statement is also very  problematic on another level. Please visit our great sponsors: 4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniGet the Deluxe 3-Month Survival Food Kit and the peace of mind your family deserves.  Free shipping on orders over $97.  Fast Growing Treeshttps://fastgrowingtrees.com/martiniUse code Martini to save an additional 15% off on your first order.

Discover how Ivy League schools might be shortchanging taxpayers to the tune of billions! Today, we're peeling back the layers of an issue that hits our wallets and our values: the billion-dollar taxpayer support of Ivy League institutions.Host John Tomasi is joined by Adam Andrzejewski, founder and CEO of "Open the Books," an advocate for transparency in public finances. Adam brings to light a staggering reality: Over a recent five-year period, Ivy League schools amassed fortunes at the taxpayers' expense—a whopping $45 billion tab that's got some scratching their heads and policy-makers wielding the legislative pen.Adam is not afraid to discuss how taxpayers are burdened with the cost of what seems more like a federal contractor than an educator. We discuss questions of accountability, such as whether universities should receive federal money without oversight and whether state-level standards boards could improve the management of public funds.Join us on Heterodox Out Loud as we explore the billion-dollar taxpayer tab for Ivy League schools and its implications for the future of higher education, government oversight, and our society's appreciation for knowledge.In This Episode:Elite schools' heavy reliance on taxpayer fundsProposed tax reforms for excessive university endowmentsThe debate over universities' federal funding accountabilityTension in bipartisan university public policyThe Rising costs and transparency in higher education Follow Adam on X here: https://x.com/everydimeonlineFollow OpenTheBooks on X here: https:/x.com/open_the_books About Adam:Adam Andrzejewski is the CEO/founder of OpenTheBooks.com.

Recently, Public Media Consultant Tom Davidson wrote an op-ed published in “Current,” the industry's quarterly trade magazine, “decrying the lack of awareness in public media about Press Forward, the $500 million foundation effort to reinvigorate local news.” Since then, National Public Radio (NPR) published its own white paper to support public media, and the Public Media Content Collective (formally the Public Radio Program Directors Association) added a panel to their fall conference that addresses the same issues. However, Davidson still sees a major disconnect within public media on how the industry itself sees its place within the local news media ecosystem, which can impact accessing the ever-increasing national philanthropic support of local journalism. Davidson believes: “It starts with understanding that serving a tiny portion of your market (and the wealthiest, whitest portion of your market) isn't going to work” when it comes to proving the value you provide within a society being impacted by “news deserts” and “ghost papers.” However, Davidson sees hope for a change within the public media world, as some broadcast outlets are acquiring local newspapers and others are expanding their news operations to serve a broader, more cumulative audience within their local markets. In this episode of “E&P Reports,” we go one-on-one with well-known digital media consultant, Knight fellow, professor of journalism, Gannett's past director of new product development and past senior director of public broadcasting, Tom Davidson, who “pulls no punches” during this frank discussion on the challenges that public media faces today and how it can continue to be a viable, self-sustaining part of local journalism.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: On Tuesday, the House of Representatives voted to fill the speakership position left vacant following the removal of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). The Republican nominee for speaker, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), received 200 votes—well short of the 217 votes he needed to win a majority of the House. In total, twenty Republicans voted for candidates other than Jordan. Russell Dye, Communications Director for Jordan, suggested that another round of voting is expected to occur today. Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), an ally of Jordan, echoed a similar sentiment—saying he thinks at least one more round of voting will occur on Tuesday.

Restoring the SALT deduction, safeguarding 9/11 victim support funding, and investing in critical infrastructure are our priorities. I look forward to discussions with candidates.” Several Republican holdouts are now suggesting that it's an impossibility for any candidate within their caucus to receive the 217 votes needed to become speaker and, consequently, the House should move to expand the powers of Speaker pro tempore Patrick McHenry (R-NC).

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (10/17/2023): 3:05pm: On Tuesday, the House of Representatives voted to fill the speakership position left vacant following the removal of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). The Republican nominee for speaker, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), received 200 votes—well short of the 217 votes he needed to win a majority of the House. In total, twenty Republicans voted for candidates other than Jordan. Russell Dye, Communications Director for Jordan, suggested that another round of voting is expected to occur today. Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), an ally of Jordan, echoed a similar sentiment—saying he thinks at least one more round of voting will occur on Tuesday.

The final score was 5-3. 4:10pm- According to Luke Broadwater of The New York Times, “Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise met after Jordan lost on the first ballot. Jordan asked Scalise for help but did not receive a pledge to do so, according to a person familiar with the conversation. Scalise and his allies are smarting from the way Jordan supporters undercut Scalise after he won a conference election but they refused to support him.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/10/17/us/house-speaker-jim-jordan-vote 4:15pm- On Monday, Judge Tanya S. Chutkan imposed a limited gag order on Donald Trump—in a case that alleges Trump conspired to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Judge Chutkan's gag order prevents the former president from verbally attacking witnesses and prosecutors publicly. Alarmingly, it may also restrict Trump's ability to criticize specific elements of the Biden Administration's Department of Justice. Could this gag order impact Trump's ability to campaign—and is it a violation of his First Amendment right to free speech and petition? Trump is expected to appeal the order. While speaking at a rally in Clive, Iowa, Trump announced he is “willing to go to jail” as part of a principled stance against Churkan's “unconstitutional” gag order. 4:20pm- During a campaign rally in Iowa, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump jokingly compared himself to Al Capone, saying he has been indicted more times than the 1920s Chicago mobster. 4:30pm- According to Israel Defense Forces (IDF), a misfired Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) rocket struck a hospital in Gaza leaving an estimated 500 people dead. Ari Blaff of National Review writes: “The Palestinian Ministry of Health, a government body under the control of Hamas, previously claimed that an Israeli air strike was responsible for the hospital explosion.” You can read more here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/misfired-palestinian-islamic-jihad-rocket-responsible-for-hospital-explosion-idf-says/ 4:40pm- Judge Carolyn Carluccio of the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas in Pennsylvania joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her candidacy for the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

Equally problematic are professors on campuses like Columbia University and Cornell University that have openly excused the actions of Hamas terrorists. Why was leadership at these elite universities so reluctant to condemn these actions and statements? You can find Wolfe's work here: https://reason.com/people/liz-wolfe/ 6:30pm- Max Marin of The Philadelphia Inquirer writes: “Police have arrested a suspect in the killing of Officer Richard Mendez and the wounding of Officer Raul Ortiz, who were shot on Thursday while responding to a car theft in a parking garage at Philadelphia International Airport.” During an afternoon press conference on Monday, the Philadelphia Police Department identified the suspect as Yobranny Martínez Fernández—though, they are still actively searching for two other suspects.

“The way to be most impactful at work requires us to use skills that many of us were, including myself, were not taught growing up…Many of us were not taught to understand how we're feeling. And how we're feeling impacts our behavior and how our judgments and biases impact our behavio.” - Tonya Ladipo   Tonya Ladipo, LCSW is the visionary behind The Ladipo Group, a premier provider for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion consulting and psychotherapy services. The company works with individuals and organizations to elevate the Black experience at home, at work,and in the world. Using her unique perspective as a clinician, Tonya understands the complexities of human behavior and what motivates people and organizations to change. She has a particular passion for understanding the influence of gender, race, sexuality, and intersectionality as it relates to creating psychologically safe and inclusive workspaces where people of all backgrounds can thrive and succeed. Tonya Ladipo worked for many years in community mental health agencies, and soon realized that a one-size-fits-all approach often ignored the needs of Black and African-American people. Institutionalized racism, a lack of diversity, and a failure of cultural awareness all conspired to mean that people of color often received poor treatment. Tonya is on a mission to change that. She works with an incredible team of skilled counselors, therapists, and psychologists who have an expertise in working with Black and African-American communities. What's more, she leads an ED&I team that consults with companies and organizations to recognize and address unconscious bias and retain diverse talent by creating a truly welcoming and inclusive workplace for everyone.

Antoni—Research Fellow for Regional Economics in the Center for Data Analysis at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and House Republicans passing a bill that would raise the nation's debt ceiling while concurrently cutting long-term federal spending. However, President Joe Biden has already pledged to veto the bill. So, what will happen next? Ben Zeisloft of The Daily Wire writes, “American economic growth slowed to a 1.1% annualized rate in the first quarter of 2023, marking a significant slowdown from previous quarters as various headwinds continue to slow recovery from the lockdown-induced recession.” You can read Zeisloft's full article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/american-economic-growth-slows-to-1-1-in-first-quarter Last Thursday, SpaceX's unmanned Starship rocket exploded several minutes after taking off from its South Padre Island, Texas launchpad.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (04/28/2023): 3:05pm- On Wednesday, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten testified during a House Oversight and Accountability Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis. During the hearing, Weingarten claimed she attempted to reopen schools during the pandemic as quickly as possible—but since there wasn't “clear scientific guidance” her union had to “do it themselves.” While appearing on CNN following her Congressional testimony, Weingarten continued to deny having ever advocated for prolonged school shutdowns—CNN Senior Political Commentator Scott Jennings called Weingarten out for attempting to rewrite history. 3:20pm- At a campaign rally in New Hampshire on Thursday, former President Donald Trump hilariously announced he would be retiring the name “crooked” for Hillary Clinton and would be bestowing it upon Joe Biden—referring to Biden as the most crooked politician in the country. 3:30pm- While appearing on Fox News, former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) official Dan Hoffman revealed that in October of 2020 he declined to sign a letter proclaiming that The New York Post's Hunter Biden laptop story was likely Russian misinformation—explaining there was no evidence indicating the story was false or in any way connected to the Kremlin. More than 50 intelligence officers did end up signing the letter—including John Brennan, Leon Panetta, and Gen. Michael Hayden. Many of the signees had publicly endorsed Joe Biden's candidacy for President prior to the letter's creation. 3:40pm- Christopher Tremoglie—Commentary Writer for The Washington Examiner—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to talk about his most recent article, “The Fictional World of Karine Jean-Pierre.” Tremoglie writes: “White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and her cohorts in the Biden administration have routinely stated their dedication to stopping the spread of disinformation. Yet any legitimate, objective analysis of what Jean-Pierre says on a routine basis will show that she willfully engages in the very thing she claims to detest—spreading lies.” You can read the full article here: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/the-fictional-world-of-karine-jean-pierre 4:05pm- In an interview with James Taranto and David B. Rivkin Jr. of The Wall Street Journal, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito addressed the leaked draft of his opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization—which upended Roe v. Wade. Alito told the WSJ: “I personally have a pretty good idea who is responsible, but that's different from the level of proof that is needed to name somebody…It was a part of an effort to prevent the Dobbs draft…from becoming the decision of the court. And that's how it was used for those six weeks by people on the outside—as part of the campaign to try to intimidate the court.” You can read the full interview here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/justice-samuel-alito-this-made-us-targets-of-assassination-dobbs-leak-abortion-court-74624ef9?mod=hp_opin_pos_2#cxrecs_s 4:10pm- In a report from Anna Phillips of The Washington Post, Governor Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers are prepared to make New York the first state to ban the installation of gas stoves in new construction projects.

National Public Radio (NPR) announced it's quitting Twitter after the social media platform labeled NPR's main account as “state-affiliated media.” Twitter changed the label to “government-funded media,” but NPR says it's still misleading.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (03/27/2023): 3:05pm- On Friday, an estimated 8,000 gallons of water-soluble latex finishing solution spilled into Otter Creek in Bucks County, PA—near the Delaware River, where an estimated 58% of Philadelphia gets its water. According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia officials said tap water is safe to drink in the city through at least 11:59 p.m. Monday.” Read more here: https://www.inquirer.com/news/philadelphia/live/philadelphia-water-delaware-river-chemical-spill-20230327.html 3:40pm- With city officials concerned about the quality of water throughout Philadelphia, some are concerned about “price-gouging” by grocery stores—charging higher than usual prices for bottled water. In his famous 2004 essay, Stanford Economist Dr. Thomas Sowell writes: “Price controls will not cause new supplies to be rushed in nearly as fast as higher prices will.” Momentary increases in prices will encourage producers, and entrepreneurs in neighboring areas, to rush supplies to the impacted area. You can read Dr. Sowell's essay here: https://www.capitalismmagazine.com/2004/09/price-gouging-in-florida/ 4:05pm- Will abandoning free market principles result in a more egalitarian distribution of a scarce resource? No—it simply devolves into a “first-come-first-served” scenario. Contrarily, modest increases in prices during an emergency result in profit-seeking manufacturers and individuals to rush products to the impacted area. 4:15pm- With wind turbines estimated to be a $31.2 billion industry, no wonder government officials are disinterested in halting construction on a project that may have caused the deaths of over a dozen whales and at least one pod of dolphins along New Jersey beaches. 4:20pm- During his Senate confirmation hearing to become the next head of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Phil Washington was unable to answer any of Senator Ted Budd's (R-NC) basic aviation questions. The Biden nominee withdrew his candidacy on Sunday. 4:30pm- Rich takes your calls: one listener points out that in the absence of increased prices, problematic hoarding will take place. PLUS another listener says he would like to be nominated to be next head of the FAA—he has never flown a plane or worked in an airport, but he's nearly as qualified as Phil Washington. 4:45pm- On Monday, “[a] heavily armed woman entered a Christian school in Nashville...and fatally shot three children and three staff members before she was shot and killed by the police”, according to reporting from The New York Times. While speaking with the press, President Joe Biden said that the shooter had two AK-47 rifles—though, that information has not been verified by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.

News, Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry denied ever “flying private” since working for the Biden Administration—but then immediately explained how he had flown on private planes “one or two” times since 2021. 5:10pm- Speaking with Fox Business, Steve Forbes predicted that President Joe Biden will not run for reelection 2024—citing economic turmoil on the horizon. 5:15pm- “Tiger King” Joe Exotic spoke with Fox News' Lawrence Jones over the weekend—declaring his candidacy for United States President of the United States. He has Henry's vote! 5:35pm- Nashville Police Chief John Drake spoke to reporters about the Monday shooting that occurred at Covenant School which left six people dead, including three children. Chief Drake confirmed that the alleged shooter, who is now deceased, was 28 years old, identified as transgender, and was a former student at the school. 5:50pm- In a story published Friday, National Public Radio (NPR) argued that there is “limited scientific evidence that men have a physical advantage over women in sports.” You can read more about the story here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/npr-claims-limited-scientific-evidence-men-have-physical-advantage-over-women-in-sports/?utm_source=recirc-desktop&utm_medium=blog-post&utm_campaign=river&utm_content=top-bar-latest&utm_term=fourth 6:05pm- Following Nashville Police Chief John Drake's press briefing, ABC anchor Terry Moran hypothesized that the alleged Covenant School shooter's motivation may be linked to Tennessee legislation banning “gender affirmation” surgeries. Chief Drake suggested that police have unearthed a manifesto created by the shooter. 6:15pm- During her Monday press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated: “How many more children have to be murdered before Republicans in Congress step up and act to pass the assault weapons ban?” 6:35pm- Political grandstanding: progressive district attorneys throughout the country are not prosecuting criminals. 6:50pm- While speaking with Congressman Mark Amodei (R-NV) during a recent House Appropriations Committee hearing, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen claimed that the reason people don't like the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) is because the governmental organization is too small.

Violent crime and the epidemic of gun-related violence has been indiscriminate, and is no longer an inner-city problem, it has touched all neighborhoods in our city as a public health crisis of massive proportions. This is a result of the benign neglect of some leaders who were inattentive to its cause, an inattention to those chronic offenders in areas of the city where higher rates of crime have historically been high…” Learn more about Rep.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the culture of the ruling class puts blame on 'the system' instead of individuals taking responsibility for their own actions. Congress just passed a law preventing 18-21-year-olds from buying certain weapons and it didn't matter in the case of the Highland Park, IL shooting on July 4th because the real issue is cultural decay. The Highland shooter had run-ins with police including a suicide threat yet he purchased the rifle anyway to go on a killing spree. The media and gun critics stand up as if they have some sort of moral superiority and they blame law-abiding citizens and firearms for the actions of sick, hateful, mentally ill individuals. The ruling class has failed this nation but demands more power instead of less. Then, for the past 33 years National Public Radio (NPR) has read the Bill of Rights in honor of America's birthday, but this year they scrapped that tradition for an 11-minute conversation on 'equality.' Later, Nancy Pelosi continues to abuse her authority as Speaker of the House. Pelosi and the Democrats have no intention of publicly accepting testimony from the five witnesses that know that Donald Trump authorized 20,000 National Guard troops. The entire purpose of this committee is to criminalize Trump and his politics - this is not Constitutional. Pelosi, Liz Cheney, and the whole circus should be questioned under oath as to what they know about all of this. We already know what actions Trump took and none of them were crimes. Finally, President Martin Van Buren has been considered the real founder of the modern democrat party and there are similarities between then and now.
