are obviously core to npr's identity.that with smart -- with smartphones and people getting more of their information from podcasting that threatens that? >> well, it's interesting, if you look at broadcasting, distribution of web and podcast which are all digital products you see fairly balanced sort of political spectrum of listeners. folks tuning in for planet money or life kit or short way which are podcast adults, finance, that's a broad spectrum in range, right, and that is true too. we see that in traffic in npr, they come from every sort of different affiliation in terms of ideology. i don't worry much about it but i think it's an opportunity for us to lean in. >> so it doesn't apply to big podcast, you know, up first which is one of the top news podcasts, you know, in the country which you see it in all of the charts. as the government tries to go after npr, does it make you kind of feel, maybe we should become podcast company and regulatory eye? >> i would never, ever give up broadcast network. we have reached m

i'm sorry, npr. love npr in the morning and i'm a foxed person at night, and i read sputnik international, which sputnik international is a russian-based media company, but they have broadband licensing out of washington, d.c. there's some really interesting news reporting. mostly they report on military awards, etc. and one more quick thing about npr, they are being investigated right now by the federal communications commission. they are funded by the taxpayer, but their news reporting sounds more like advertising, which is kind of interesting. i listen to npr a lot, there is another one, a financial one in the evening. in any event, it is quite interesting. and one more fact, thank you for giving me so much time, that 22% approval rating in the media is not written in stone. one of the guests last night said it is 8% that people believe that the media is honest. so that is 92% of our citizens. host: juliet in massachusetts. she was talking about semaphore summit, the trust in media summit that we

they are all leaving and getting fired as we've been paying tax money to fund places like msnbc and nprow that well has run dry so it's all fake. >> greg: all manufactured and fake. >> greatly accept this great. >> greg: he is bigger than me. asthma. does it have you missing out on what you love, with who you love? get back to better breathing with fasenra, an add-on treatment for eosinophilic asthma taken once every 8 weeks. fasenra is not for sudden breathing problems. serious allergic reactions may occur. get help for swelling of your face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. don't stop your asthma treatments without talking with your doctor. tell your doctor if your asthma worsens or you have a parasitic infection. headache and sore throat may occur. ask your doctor if fasenra is right for you. ok, noah's going to make a fire. our job is to let him do it...by himself. what kind of wood you got there? gregggg! it is important to challenge young homeowners turning into their parents. -mm... -oh! -not a great start. -you got to turn it. you got to turn it. doesn't look structurally so

check out this interview that she had with npr. >> to what extent is immigration as an issue part oflem with working class vote centers >> i guess my question is what does the word problem mean? [laughter] >> people voting for the other side and not for you. >> we have a problem on immigration because of the lack of progress. that we've had on this issue. and as we know republicans weaponize that lack of progress. >> that is amazing i've been down to her district interviewed her constituents and they get it i wonder if she's been down there lately aoc urge citizens to resist deportation. and idaho state senators introducing a bill that would require cursive lessons at public schools under the legislation students would have to start lessons by third grade and temples must test their writing with bench marks and assessments bit ends of the fifth grade they have to be proficient in cursive this idea reminding us a scene from the adam sangtd her movie billy madison. >> bunt in perfect cursive anymore brain busters? at least 24 states require cursive writing in public schools. so you guy

on the right is an npr headline.s israel's request to extend phase one of the gaza ceasefire. how can americans know what is happening in the world when most of our mainstream publications are so slanted in one direction? >> and by the way, it's so basic. if there are two states, there's peace. if israel tries to dominate 8 million palestinians, there's war. it's simple. so everybody should understand that we could have peace tomorrow. honestly, this is not so complicated, but it's a matter of saying no to the extremists in israel that say they want to dominate or ethnically cleanse the region or do other, even more horrific things, because what the voices of extremism are so rife in israel right now. but if there are two states living side by side, there will be peace. >> all right. >> professor jeffrey sachs, greatly appreciate your time and insights this evening, sir. thank you so much for coming on. >> absolutely. great to be with you. thank you. >> coming up, the trump administration's new attack on the freedom

they've already started to try to punish pbs and npr. there are some real concrete ways that they've tried to to go after this. elon musk, who is a huge voice now in this administration, repeatedly accuses news outlets like the new york times of committing crimes for reporting the names of government workers who are carrying out huge policies. >> yeah, and i think that they were on the doge part of the doge team or something. i saw something recently about that. i don't think that that is maga idiots. if you actually look on just twitter alone across the board, even on the left, this idea of the epstein. were you talking about epstein? were you talking about the diddy files? people do have an interest in it. i do believe that concern. i do. >> believe because i think democrats are going to be on the list, that people that's why. >> they're idiots. this is not in the pursuit of truth. >> but i don't think that it is to embarrass people they think are going to be on this list. >> i think there are people on the left who have been asking fo

npr. question was specifically about the economy. the total question that he's moving it for the better, 42%. worse 46%. so that's a bit more split. but this is the, um, the ball that we have to keep our eye on. >> yeah. i mean, in that same cnn poll said that a majority of voters did not believe that trump had his eye on the ball on the right priority. the main pressing problem for the country. and trump got elected to lower prices. so this starts to increase prices, which pretty much every economist believes that it would will trump back off. which is why perhaps he howard lutnick was a little cagey about what exactly trump will do, because. >> maybe he doesn't know. >> maybe he generally doesn't know. maybe trump will delay it. i will be interested to see tomorrow at the speech how republicans will react if trump starts boasting about tariffs. you know, one person who has not said a whole lot about it is john thune, the senate majority leader, whose state of south dakota could get hit pretty hard. >> egg tariffs are hard. i am gla

it tends to be left-wing pet projects, left-wing media like npr and pbs, who always routinely run cover for democrats while attacking republicans. it is left-wing advocacy groups and ngos that are taking our tax dollars and promoting d.e.i. programs and transgender surgeries and girl power climate action, whatever that means. these are all left-wing movements that are being funded by our tax dollars. it raises the question of, how successful with the leftist political movement be in america if it were not for the fact that their whole movement is subsidized by taxpayers? that is what corruption is. we are finding out recently that stacey abrams is part of the graft as well. apparently the a ppa gave $2 billion to a group called power forward communities that was funded in late 2023 and had only reported $100 in total revenue. power forward communities had no business managing a grant that large, of course. but they were appealing for democrats. the co-chair of power forward communities is shaun donovan, who previously served as barack obama's director of hud and omb. we also know stacey
