Okay, so last month we kicked off a challenge. If we could get 500 listeners to step up and

support on the media with a donation by the end of October, we'd unlock $15,000 from George Hanby,

a retired seventh grade world geography teacher who listens to the show from his home in Castagnero, Italy. Well, to date,

400 of you decided to help. Fabulous. So now we only need the last hundred, you know,

the proud, the strong, the procrastinating. Then we'll meet the challenge, which is a real thing

in case you were wondering, and get the extra 15 grand, which is actually a lot.

Maybe we can buy some stories or pay for travel out of New York, which we used to do some years back,

or most likely and certainly most important, support the show while offering on the media free of charge to the public radio stations hit hardest

by the closure of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. And to give you an extra incentive,

when you give $12 a month, we'll send you an On the Media hat, a light blue baseball style cap

with the On the Media logo stitched on the front.

So, please go to OnThemedia.org slash donate.

From all of us here at OTP to all of you.

Thank you so much.

Now on with the show.

You look at Portland, and you see fires all over the place. It's so bad. It's so crazy.

A federal judge in Oregon has called Trump's spin on Portland, quote, untethered to the

facts. From WNYC in New York, this is on the media. I'm Michael Lohinger. And I'm Brooke Gladstone. Amid

ice raids, a journalist recalls the Nazis' dual justice system, where there was a compelling

illusion of lawfulness, for some. However, if you were part of a disfavored group, such as

the Jews, you found yourself in a zone of lawlessness.

Plus, meet TikTok investor Larry Ellison and his son David, who just bought Paramount.
