independent us journalism and programing of npr and pbs. that's a better way to do it than just threatening to cut off the fraction of their funds that come technically from the corporation for public broadcasting and taxpayer money. so that's another. you might also have seen headlines about the move at the defense department to take away office space used at the pentagon by correspondents from the new york times and nbc news and other major news organizations. now, it does not mean that these news outlets are banned from covering the pentagon. it just means they can't cover the pentagon as well as they do now. i mean, they'll be allowed to attend briefings and, you know, get emails or whatever, make phone calls. but they are no longer allowed to be based there at the pentagon. so they can be there all around the clock while decisions are being made and things are happening. they can't do that anymore. that office space has been there for pentagon correspondents for decades. but in the trump administration, they're pulling it from well-est

>> npr and pbs are different.ars i think the fcc has been absent on enforcing the public interest obligation. one of the things i've said from the get go i hold broadcasters accountable to operate in the public interest. with these two in particular get taxpayer funding and not allowed to run commercials. they are non-commercial entities and some potential evidence they've been running commercials. we'll look at that and where the investigation goes from there will be led by the facts. it could expand beyond that narrow issue. >> dana: brendan carr, fcc chairman. thank you for being with us today. bret. >> bret: interesting stuff. israeli prime minister netanyahu visiting our nations capitol today and be the first foreign leader to meet with president trump since he has taken office. their plans to redraw the middle east will be talked about. plus no illegal immigration and zero americans dying from fentanyl. that's the only way president trump says china, mexico and canada can avoid new tariffs. his executive ord

npr losing its office space this year. breitbart being brought in.s is another example of the pressure campaign that's under way. it's related to the paramount story. journalists at the news outlets that are being evicted at the pentagon. they're left wondering if they were chosen to be kicked out because of their tough critical coverage of pete hegseth before hegseth was was a was a sworn in as defense secretary. now, the pentagon hasn't said how it chose these news outlets to be rotated out of the office space this year. but the change is obvious. it's replacing a big network like nbc with a small pro-trump propaganda outfit like one america news. it is what it looks like, and it's all related. just removing news outlets from the pentagon. the fcc investigating npr and cbs and pbs. this probe against cbs as well. the government deleting websites full of valuable data. the white house deriding real news stories as hoaxes. trump saying a news channel he doesn't like shouldn't be allowed to broadcast. it's all of a piece. it's all related. it's all ab

cnn's manu raju, npr's ayesha rascoe and jeff mason of reuters. happy monday to one and all. um, let's just start with where we are right now. and, jeff, you cover the white house. um, now, you covered it. you covered it for a long time, but you covered trump 1.0 and now 2.0. and, um, given what you're hearing from your sources at the white house, your extensive understanding of how trump operates, particularly on the world stage, obviously, ultimately, he didn't want to have tariffs. he doesn't want to have tariffs. he uses the well, i shouldn't say that. i think he does. maybe he does want them for china. but he he likes to use this as a weapon to get what he wants. totally. on various things, at least in the short term. on for mexico. there's a month for him to work that out. but what does it tell you that he agreed at least to that one month delay in mexico? >> well. >> it tells me that he's comfortable with whiplash, which we knew, and we're seeing that whiplash just in terms of how quickly this story has moved, but also in the markets. i mean, he referenced having some

has appeared on morning joe the voice of america the history channel, american heroes channel, espn, npr, c-span. he has spoken at the fdr presidential library the past at the f kennedy library, and also the truman presidential libraries, as well as grant's cottage state historic site, the national baseball hall of fame and museum, and various instant tuitions, universities and libraries and festivals across the. and he lives in new york state. and here to talk with us about recent book is david pietrusza david pietrusza. thank you. i think the first question i often get about the book is, which is why. first off, thanks to all the great people here for for having me this is an honor to be here everyone is so nice and it's an event i look forward to even when i'm not speaking. i show up as a spectator. that's how much i like it. but anyway, so why write a book like this? if you are like a presidential historian and and such well before, that i was doing baseball history and i the book on the gangster and all around underworld figure arnold rothstein. and a few years ago a couple of years

fired doj prosecutors who worked on january 6th, had the pentagon kick out the new york times, nbc, and nprfavor of the new york post, breitbart, and one america news, blocked federal agencies from honoring black history month, mlk day, juneteenth, pride month, and holocaust remembrance day, removed over a thousand studies from the cdc website, and took down thousands of government web pages to satisfy trump's orders to remove topics like diversity initiatives and gender ideology. "folks, america's golden age must have a browser "his"tory, not a browser they/them-story. we will also be getting rid of all of the state department's "trans"lators. we will replac them with "mans"-lators. no mom and dad wants to send their beautiful english word to school to have it come back german, okay? das ist schlecht." even more cray-cray, on friday, the entire census.gov website, with all u.s. census bureau data, went missing. do you know how many americans that affects? no, you don't! because the census data is missing! that's a bedrock of civil civilization. how many people? all of those would be huge s

walter of “the cook political report with amy walter” who is in new orleans tonight and tamara keith of nprart with you because we saw confusion at usaid as elon musk threatened to shut down the agency. concerns about firings at the fbi and doj. is all of this what trump supporters voted for? >> it depends on which trump supporters you are talking about, because some people voted for donald trump because they were concerned about the price of eggs and everything else. there are others who voted for trump because they were frustrated with president biden refusing to step aside and having harris come in in this way. there were people upset about what was happening in gaza. there were people who wanted to shake things up and felt like government was not working for them and they are looking at this and saying they are shaking things up. this is a hostile takeover and that is what some share of trump's voters signed up for. i will say that when a president takes office they are never more popular and powerful than they are in their first couple weeks and as they continue to do more things peopl

reporter: , from npr. t in your five year reviewhe, you said that the 2% inflation target will not be on the table. can you talk a bit about why? is that because you think that is the right target or because you don't want to move the goalposts? what is behind that? chair powell: i think that goal has served us well over a long periods of time. it is also a sort of global standard. i think if the central bank wanted to look at changing that, he wouldn't do it at a time when you are not meeting it anyway. i wouldn't look at changing it anyway but i certainly wouldn't look at it at a time when you are not meeting it. there is no interest at all in changing it, if i am being at all unclear. we will not change the inflation goal anytime soon. [laughter] reporter: and five years ago, if i could paraphrase what you all decided was, you are going to not raise interest rates preemptively to head off inflation until you see -- because the labor market was so beneficial. have the last few years changed your thinking

political npr and "new york times" out of the dedicated media office spaces.e room for some new organizations to stefan like "the new york post", breitbart, and "huffington post". katie has said and put out on x that this is propaganda. this is how news becomes propaganda it has begun to. >> we live under propaganda we were we were before for the last four years and even under president obama and others it was just pushing out what they believe the legacy media and people finally got it. do not represent the truth, do not present both sides and we have it in our university systems as well were both sides of the coin's don't hear about left and right. liberal and conservative this is a good thing there should be all kinds of media representing all points of view for the first time in many years we will have media that will give a different viewpoint. let americans decide to let people decide, we are tired of being spoon-fed and told things that are not true, or not accurate, it is getting old unfortunately now more of a balance. that is a good thing an american

let's look at the political stakes with amy walter of the cook political report, and tamara keith of npr see you. we saw over the weekend confusion at usaid as elon musk essentially took over the agency and threatened to shut it down, concerns about the number of firings at the fbi and doj and markets in study after confusion about whether or not terrace will go into place. is this what trump voters voted for? >> i think it depends on which trump supporters you're talking about. some people voted because they were concerned about the price of eggs and everything else. were frustrated with president biden refusing to step aside and then having vice president harris come in in a way that made it seem rate. there are people upset about what was happening in gaza. and then there were people who really just wanted to blow up the boxes, felt like government wasn't working for them and they are looking at this and saying, look at that. they are shaking things up. this is a hostile takeover of the government and that's what some share of trump's voters signed up for. what i will say is that when

one american news, breitbart, the new york post will replace nbc news, npr, the new york times. president trump routinely blasts coverage and media outlets that he disagrees with. and that can that continued at the white house briefing just this week. take a listen. >> you are blaming democrats and dei policies and air traffic control, and seemingly the member of the u.s. military who was flying that black hawk helicopter. don't you think you're getting ahead of the investigation. >> right now? >> no, i don't think so at all. i don't think where the names of the people. you mean the names of the people that are on the plane. you think that's going to make a difference? >> they come. >> for their families. they are a group of people that have lost their lives. i think that's not a very smart question. i'm surprised, coming from. >> you, the implication that this policy is new or that it stems from efforts that began under president biden or the transportation secretary, pete buttigieg, is demonstrably false. it's been on the faa's website. you know, it's on the website, the faa's

the very conservative breitbart news would serve as a radio outlet instead of npr and the huffpost, whichhe changes is to, quote, broaden access to the limited space of the correspondents corridor to outlets that have not previously enjoyed the privilege. but i think it's pretty clear what's happening here. and just remember, this should not be seen as only a punishment of news organizations who ask hard questions. it is that this should be seen as a punishment of the american people. the hard questions and the combativeness are a service to you. so they might not like it. they might do things to try and stop it. but that's even more of a reason to keep going and to keep pushing. so that's what we're going to do. that does it for me tonight. the rachel maddow show starts right now. hey, rachel. >> hey, jen. >> thank you, my friend. >> i've got something right. >> along those same lines tonight. >> can't wait to watch that story. >> absolutely. >> and thanks. >> to you at home for joining us this hour. >> happy to have you here. >> i'm also. >> very relieved. >> to. >> not be. >> leading t

end quote, and a multilingual coordinator at an elementary school in southern delaware told the local npr, students are telling us that they're afraid that their parents are going to be taken. they're scared. you can see it, and i don't know how to get them to focus on learning. when these poor babies are just so worried about what's going to happen to them. end quote. let's talk about what we do about this. joining me now, randi weingarten. she's the president of the american federation of teachers. i mean, randi, my, my, my mom used to write my name all over my clothes. it was all i could do to just not lose my gloves and coat. kids don't carry immigration papers with them. they certainly can't answer questions about their parents immigration status. so if i understand the solution, i understand people who are keeping their kids from going to school. it can't be good under any circumstances to do that. >> so first, thank you for the intro that you just did because you captured what's going on in schools across america, not just the big urban schools that people talk that that we had mem

npr reports that middendorf and daniel are still behind bars, and i doubt president trump wanted to show clemency to people accused of being pedophiles. but he did. he called the whole group hostages and patriots. and there's a reason why governing effectively, as with the pardon process, can take some time. there's a reason why there is a process and there are standards, even for effective disruption, effective shrinking of government, effective pardoning. it takes work, not just hand grenades. cnn chief white house correspondent and anchor kaitlan collins is live at the white house. caitlin. elon musk, a big role in trump's efforts. you have new reporting on musk. the white house now says he's a, quote, special government employee. what does that mean? >> yeah, for people who may be wondering what that designation entails, jake, it's basically that he's not fully in the federal government, but he's also not fully outside of the federal government. and this has been a big question that we've been asking the white house for about three weeks, given, of course, we've seen elon musk here s

and the trump administration ousted nbc news, the new york times, npr, and politico from workspaces innetwork, as well as the huffington post journalist garrett graff, pointing out that if the sheer volume of democracy threatening events from the weekend took place in any other country, the coverage would look very different than what you see. here is how he says musk's efforts to seize power would be reported if they were taking place abroad. quote what started thursday as a political purge of the internal security services accelerated friday into a full blown coup as elite technical units aligned with media oligarch elon musk moved to seize key systems at the national treasury block. outside access to federal personnel records and take offline governmental communication networks with rapidity that has stunned even longtime political observers. forces loyal to musk's junta have established him as the all but undisputed unelected head of government. in just a matter of days, unwinding the longtime democracy's constitutional system and its proud, nearly 250 year old tradition of the rul
