It's the Brian Lera Show on WNYC.

Good morning again, everyone.

Coming up in a little while this hour, we will have our latest citizenship quiz.

Many of you know during our membership drives,

we tend to break up all the serious stuff by having a 10-question quiz each day, and they include

prizes. If you get two in a row right, today you'll be able to choose between a Brian Lairashell baseball

cap and that new WNYC

mini tote that we've been talking about.

That's coming up a little bit later this hour.

And just like yesterday, it's going to be questions from the actual naturalization test.

And it was interesting to see how easy some of them were and how hard some of them were,

even for people who were born here and grew up here.

So citizenship quiz, 10 question quiz, number two, drawn from the actual citizenship test study

guide coming up a little bit later this hour.

But since this membership drive is somewhat

about what the president and Congress are doing with respect to public radio and television,

we thought we would have our president and CEO LaFontaine Oliver on for a few minutes today to

explain some of it and what he and other station managers are doing. Hi, LaFontaine. Always good to have you on the

show. Hi, Brian. Always great to be with you and the listeners. So the way the president's executive

order would directly affect us is tell me if I understand this correctly, that local stations like

WNYC would not be able to use federal funding that we get to help pay for the national NPR

programming like Morning Edition and All Things Considered.
