It's a question that I've asked, and it's one where I've said I don't see a reason why the federal government should be forcing American families to reach into their pockets and take money out and use it to subsidize NPR and PBS.

I think separately, if you step back, it wasn't that long ago that if you looked for the cross section of your typical NPR or PBS listener. It was a fair representation of a

cross-section of the country. But over the last couple of years, it has really started to skew

to a very sort of narrow political perspective. And if you're going to be asking the American

public to reach into their pocketbooks and subsidize it, I think it, you know, only makes sense

for PBS and NPR to be responsive to that broad

cross-section of the country. So where we are right now is the federal government has a what's

called a recisions package before it. It's in the Senate. They have a deadline to act, I think,

within the next couple of weeks to make a decision about whether they're going to agree with

that rescissions package and ultimately defund NPR and PBS. A couple months ago, I remember Cheryl Crow famously on Twitter posted that she was selling her Tesla, I guess in protest of Elon Musk at the time. That was the thing to protest at the time. And she was selling the proceeds, taking the proceeds and giving it to NPR in PBS. And I was like, great. That's a perfect example.

If you care so much about it, you know, let the market work and let it be funded by those people that

really that really care about it. But let's not put that burden on everybody.

Well, we're hearing from FCC Chairman Brennan Carr today. Do you ever wonder what the FCC does?

It touches your life every day.

In fact, I would say every hour of every day, something the FCC does impacts you, whether

it's your cell service, your satellite service, your internet, competition for cheaper prices

of cell phone packages.

All of this is really basic. It's not as,

you know, it's not as complicated as it sounds. So we're going to talk to the chairman of the FCC

Brennan Carr today about this. First, can I encourage you to click that subscribe button?
