All right.

All right. Welcome everybody at the Jim Acosta show where it's an embarrassment of riches in terms of guests.

Today we have the star of White Lotus and the political thriller Words of War.

Jason Isaacs. Jason, of course, played Timothy Ratliff, the spiraling, pill-popping, and occasionally pantsless dad in season three of

White Lotus. He was also, of course, Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies. He's here to

talk about Words of War, which is a completely different project. Jason, great to see it.

Thanks for coming on. No, it's a pleasure. I see that sign behind you as your audience will see,

you know, Jim Costa on a free press, and that's what this film is about. And we're talking on a day,

I don't know when people watch this, where it's never more appropriate to talk about that,

because an executive order just came from the White House to cancel all funding for public media,

for essentially for an independent free press. That's right. And I do want to talk to you about it, but since you mentioned it, you're absolutely

right. I mean, the arts are under attack here in Washington. The AP is reporting this morning.

Trump signed an executive order aiming to slash public subsidies to PBS and NPR, as he alleged

bias in their reporting. The order instructs the corporation for public broadcasting other federal agencies to,

quote, cease federal funding for NPR and PBS. I mean, Jason, you're, you can-

The only services that are telling the truth to people

free from commercial constraints.

That's right.

We do a little of that here.

But you're absolutely, I mean, you're a Britain.

We were just talking about this before we got going.

In Great Britain, you have the BBC.
