Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central's America's only
Speaker 2: sorts for news.
Speaker 1: This is the daily shown with your homes Jordan Clever,
Speaker 1: Welcome today.
Speaker 3: We got so much to talk about because today is
Speaker 3: a big deal. It's the one hundred day of Donald
Speaker 3: Jonestown Trump's second term. We're at cruising altitude people. The
Speaker 3: seatbelt side is off and the pilot is aiming straight
Speaker 3: for the mountain side. So let's get right into it.
Speaker 4: There'll be a little disturbance.
Speaker 3: Yes, it has been one hundred days of Trump in
Speaker 3: the oval office. I mean that figuratively. Obviously, he spent
Speaker 3: lots of those days in the steam room at marl Lago.
Speaker 3: Picture it. I'll wait, can you see him listening? Picture it?
Speaker 3: Ooh yeah, yeah, ooh.
Speaker 1: Put it in your head. Put it in your head.
Speaker 1: Don't make me put up a picture.
Speaker 3: All right, I'm doing it.
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, even hotter than your imagination. Uh, what were
Speaker 3: we talking about? Right, It's Trump's one hundredth day.
Speaker 5: I think Tuesday will mark President Trump's one hundredth day
Speaker 5: in office. President Trump's one hundredth day in office is
Speaker 5: coming up.
Speaker 6: This Wednesday.
Speaker 7: Tuesday's gonna mark President Trump's one hundredth day.
Speaker 6: Wednesday marks the one hundredth day on.
Speaker 5: Wednesday this week, it's actually Tuesday, Wednesday, April thirtieth, Tuesday Wednesday.
Speaker 5: If you count January twentieth is inauguration day is day one,
Speaker 5: then tomorrow is day one hundred.
Speaker 6: It's simple, Matthew. Just look at the calendar and countings.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, this is how divided we've become under Trump.
Speaker 3: We can't even agree on how counting works. Apparently Wednesday
Speaker 3: is now a partisan issue. I mean, it's hard to
Speaker 3: think of a better metaphor for how the first one
Speaker 3: hundred days have gone.
Speaker 1: But here's one.
Speaker 2: This morning, new questions about how a seventy million dollar
Speaker 2: US fighter jed fell off an aircraft carrier in the
Speaker 2: Red Sea, sinking to the bottom of the ocean.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, America's doing great.
Speaker 6: We're doing great.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Sure, some of our fighter jets are kamakazi and themselves
Speaker 3: instead of serving under the headset regime. But these are fine.
Speaker 3: I will say. You know, this is good for the
Speaker 3: little mermaid. You know, think of how excited she was
Speaker 3: when she found a fork. Now she's got an F
Speaker 3: eighteen fighter, Jeni Flegs, I got wings baby, who You're
Speaker 3: part of my world now, bitch? So yeah, bit of
Speaker 3: a shock. But the good news is the military says
Speaker 3: the plane can be salvaged. They just need to get
Speaker 3: it out and PLoP it into a really big bowl
Speaker 3: of rice.
Speaker 1: Goodness not okay.
Speaker 3: So that was a bit awkward, and to put it
Speaker 3: even bigger damper on Trump's one hundred day celebration, our
Speaker 3: neighbor to the north celebrated last night in a very disrespectful.
Speaker 5: Way, taking on Trump and winning at the ballot box.
Speaker 5: Last night, Canada's Prime Minister, in Mark's Parnie, his Liberal
Speaker 5: party winning re election after a stunning turnaround.
Speaker 9: Voters were swayed by US tariffs and comments from President
Speaker 9: Trump about making Canada the fifty first state.
Speaker 10: I think who I voted for would be the best
Speaker 10: to take care of Trump, because Trump is, I'm sorry
Speaker 10: to say, an asshole.
Speaker 6: What have we done.
Speaker 3: We've turned Canada's cut as nanas into foul mouth explanitive machines.
Speaker 3: And I know, I'm sorry to say he's an asshole.
Speaker 3: Doesn't sound bad to us, but in Canada, she's Cardi
Speaker 3: B Cardi b C. You know British Columbia. Yes, thanks
Speaker 3: to Trump, the Liberal Party just pulled off historic comeback,
Speaker 3: winning all the major Canadian demographics hockey moms, hockey dads,
Speaker 3: hockey non binaries, hockey seniors, hockey, hockey players, and of
Speaker 3: course hot Ryans. But the winner of all this anti
Speaker 3: Trump energy was new Prime Minister Mark Carney, and his
Speaker 3: victory is all the more impressive when you see that
Speaker 3: he is not the most traditionally electric candidate.
Speaker 7: A system that will not perfect has helped deliver prosperity
Speaker 7: for a country for decades.
Speaker 1: Is over.
Speaker 7: We are over, We are over the shock of the
Speaker 7: American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons we
Speaker 7: have to look out for ourselves.
Speaker 3: Wow, this lady was trying to be a hype man
Speaker 3: and he's like, man, please, this is a victory party.
Speaker 6: This is.
Speaker 3: No place for excitement. It was Mark Carney doing that
Speaker 3: the whole campaign. What do we do fight? No, no, no,
Speaker 3: quiet down. That was rhetorical, it's not what this is
Speaker 3: a boot hold. Look, let's step back for a minute,
Speaker 3: because here, on the one hundredth day, it might be
Speaker 3: worth taking stock of where we are because right now.
Speaker 3: All the vibes are terrifying. Trump is overreaching. He's breaking rules,
Speaker 3: he's ignoring judges, He's collecting all the infinity stones. He
Speaker 3: convinced the Pope to do the eat a hot dog
Speaker 3: without chewing challenge, resting piece, the lost fair and square Pope. Sorry,
Speaker 3: but if there's one silver lining to this dictatory one
Speaker 3: hundred days, is that when anyone pushes back, he folds
Speaker 3: like a cyber truck and a fender bender like this, Like,
Speaker 3: look at what happened with his tariff policy. He's been
Speaker 3: hyping up terriffs for decades. It was the centerpiece of
Speaker 3: his campaign last year. The most beautiful word in the
Speaker 3: entire dictionary of words is the word tariff.
Speaker 1: I love tariff.
Speaker 9: Tariff's more beautiful than love.
Speaker 1: Let's put God number one.
Speaker 3: Let's put religion number two, and then it's tariff.
Speaker 10: Tariff's tariff, tariff, My favorite word, tariff, tariff.
Speaker 3: He says tariff like I'm trying to take a bone
Speaker 3: out of his mouth.
Speaker 1: Traff.
Speaker 3: It took less than a week of market turmoil and
Speaker 3: suddenly Trump was like backxies.
Speaker 11: Tonight, the stunning about face from President Trump.
Speaker 1: People were jumping a little bit out of line. They
Speaker 1: were getting yippie, you know, hippie.
Speaker 3: I mean, what kind of autocrat bails at yippie. Putin
Speaker 3: wasn't like I was gonna annex CRIMEA, but then they
Speaker 3: gave me the stink eye, So dats danya look and
Speaker 3: tariffs are just the most famous example. He's been backtracking
Speaker 3: all over the place. Just for example, he unfired federal
Speaker 3: workers he had fired. He put back DEI web pages
Speaker 3: he had taken down. He uncanceled student visas that he canceled.
Speaker 3: He unnominated the attorney general he already nominated, and so
Speaker 3: on and so on and so on.
Speaker 6: At a certain point, you've.
Speaker 3: Got to ask, does Trump even want to be a dictator,
Speaker 3: because I've never heard a dictator called back sies this
Speaker 3: much and say what you want about Hitler, which is
Speaker 3: a which is a sentence. I immediately regret saying the
Speaker 3: guy stuck to his guns. It's mine comf not mine.
Speaker 6: Bad.
Speaker 3: But maybe maybe my favorite recent example is when he
Speaker 3: started suggesting he would illegally fire FED chairman Jerome Powell.
Speaker 5: The Trump administration is looking at possible ways to fire
Speaker 5: Jerome Powell.
Speaker 11: The President blasted Powell, calling him a major loser and
Speaker 11: saying Powell's termination cannot come fast enough.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right. Wow.
Speaker 3: Now when I first saw that, I thought, here we go,
Speaker 3: some dictator shit's about to go down. But then same
Speaker 3: old story. The markets got spooked, and then so did Trump.
Speaker 3: If you had a palettas and firewell you have any lands,
Speaker 3: you know whatsoever?
Speaker 1: Never did.
Speaker 3: Never did I love Jerome. I did say he's a
Speaker 3: major loser, but in a friendly way.
Speaker 1: Hey my loser, you know, no hard r.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's good that he backtracked, but it does
Speaker 3: make it a little awkward that he already called him
Speaker 3: an incompetent. It's like hearing someone say that guy is
Speaker 3: the worst dumbest moron I have ever had the displeasure
Speaker 3: of knowing my days are darker and sadder in their presence. Anyways,
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 8: Like the point is this?
Speaker 1: The point is?
Speaker 3: The point is Trump basically does the presidential version of
Speaker 3: posting a picture than deleting it if it doesn't get
Speaker 3: enough likes, which makes it all the more frustrating to
Speaker 3: see so many law firms and universities and companies bending
Speaker 3: the knee to Trump.
Speaker 1: They don't have to.
Speaker 3: Chances are if you push back, he'll take it back.
Speaker 3: Either that or I'll send you to El Salvador for
Speaker 3: a few years. But then you get a selfie with
Speaker 3: Christy Nomes, So it's worth it. When we come back,
Speaker 3: Desilidec prepares for the Doge apocalypse, they'll.
Speaker 7: Go away.
Speaker 3: All the back of the Daily Show. We all know
Speaker 3: how uncomfortable it is to listen to Elon Musk, But
Speaker 3: how bad is it to get fired by him? Does
Speaker 3: he lightex sat down with some people who found.
Speaker 9: Out if there's one thing Americans know about, it's waste.
Speaker 9: In fact, eighty nine percent of Americans agreed that our
Speaker 9: government is full of it. So Donald Trump empowered Elon
Speaker 9: Musk to create the Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE,
Speaker 9: and go through our government with a fine toothed chainsaw.
Speaker 1: The chaves all all of Buauquasit.
Speaker 9: To cut budgets and fire thousands of federal employees.
Speaker 3: Well, cutting down the size of government we have topload
Speaker 3: it sloppy.
Speaker 9: So I sat down with some of these fired bureaucrats
Speaker 9: to see if they felt any remorse for wasting taxpayer money.
Speaker 9: What would you say that you did for the government?
Speaker 9: Would it fall under waste, fraud, or abuse.
Speaker 10: So I was in charge of helping, essentially keep American
Speaker 10: consumers from getting ripped off by financial companies. Okay, so.
Speaker 9: All of the above or none of the above.
Speaker 11: I worked for the National Institutes of Health as an
Speaker 11: education and outreach specialist fraud, waste, or abuse.
Speaker 12: I thought I signed up to make sure that those
Speaker 12: things didn't happen, but apparently I was mistaken.
Speaker 9: I don't think I can put you down for any
Speaker 9: of those I guess fraud.
Speaker 2: My job as an Inspector General is actually to find
Speaker 2: ferret out waste, fraud, and abuse. I am a watchdog.
Speaker 9: You do have home monitor energy? I see it, little
Speaker 9: big watchdog energy. What kinds of things was your department
Speaker 9: blowing that taxpayer cheddar on yacht parties, balloon excursions. What
Speaker 9: was the caviar budget?
Speaker 11: I've never had caviar?
Speaker 6: Is that like the egg stuff?
Speaker 9: So you're saying no caviar Wednesdays? Okay? But even without
Speaker 9: bottomless caviare the salaries of these government workers must account
Speaker 9: for a large part of our bloated federal budget, right,
Speaker 9: I think the.
Speaker 1: Reality is that they're getting wealthy tax payer expense.
Speaker 9: How much of the federal budget is spent on federal
Speaker 9: employees four percent. Are you sure you don't mean ninety
Speaker 9: four percent four percent? Four percent? Yes, you're going to
Speaker 9: say a much larger number.
Speaker 12: A lot of people do.
Speaker 9: By eliminating your position, how much money was saved for
Speaker 9: the taxpayers.
Speaker 2: The taxpayers ain't save any money by eliminating mind. The
Speaker 2: money that we have under my leadership actually returned is
Speaker 2: over thirty billion dollars to the treasury.
Speaker 9: I'm no mathematician, but that sounds pretty good.
Speaker 10: If we've gotten twenty one billion dollars back in restitution
Speaker 10: and relief to Americans who are scammed by their financial companies.
Speaker 10: And it's even better because we don't cost taxpayers a
Speaker 10: single dollar.
Speaker 9: That's right, these guys. We're hunting down fraud, waste, and
Speaker 9: abuse way back when Elon still had his original personality.
Speaker 9: So you were the original Doge.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't like to call what the IG's do.
Speaker 2: What Doji is doing IG's work by standards.
Speaker 9: Is there any part of you that's a little upset
Speaker 9: because an immigrant actually did steal your job?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 9: No, why should we fund a National Institute of Health.
Speaker 11: The things that in h studies? You know, diabetes, aging,
Speaker 11: mental health, addiction, and it's literally the epicenter of biomedical
Speaker 11: research for the entire planet. I do think there are
Speaker 11: ways that we could cut back on inefficiency, but you
Speaker 11: don't use a chainsaw to do that. You use a scalpel.
Speaker 9: This might sound crazy, but is the Department of Government
Speaker 9: efficiency not that efficient? Speaking of ineffective, some of the things.
Speaker 1: That I say will be incorrect and should be corrected.
Speaker 9: Elon was quickly forced to hit control Z on many
Speaker 9: of his layoffs, which is the shortcut for undue and
Speaker 9: not the name of one of his kids.
Speaker 12: So the administration decided to put us on administrative leave,
Speaker 12: and then they just started another round of firing. But
Speaker 12: since I got fired once, I already I was not
Speaker 12: able to get back into my laptop, so I don't
Speaker 12: know if I have a letter or that.
Speaker 9: So you got fired and then they essentially sent you
Speaker 9: a text that said you up, and you responded yes,
Speaker 9: and then they.
Speaker 10: Ghosted you yep.
Speaker 9: So are you saying that this government is being run
Speaker 9: by boys? Eventually, it also doesn't help that Elon keeps
Speaker 9: revising down the amount of waste he's finding.
Speaker 1: I think we can do at least two trillion trillion
Speaker 1: dollars half a trillion dollars one hundred and fifty billion.
Speaker 9: Dollars classic boy behavior, over promising and under delivering. Do
Speaker 9: you believe that the intention behind doze is to actually
Speaker 9: cut necessary spending?
Speaker 10: If you wanted to take over all of your competitor's business,
Speaker 10: one way you could do that is you could go
Speaker 10: to every financial regulator, every government agency that is sensitive
Speaker 10: data from the private sector. You could suck that data
Speaker 10: into some sort of AI large language model, and then
Speaker 10: you could use it to undercut all of American industry.
Speaker 9: Do you think there's any chance that Elon is doing
Speaker 9: something good with all of our data, Like maybe with
Speaker 9: having access to all that data, he'll finally understand the
Speaker 9: mysteries of the human heart.
Speaker 4: No, well, they've removed the watchdogs, and the danger of
Speaker 4: that is that Congress doesn't have a transparent way of
Speaker 4: knowing what is happening within these agencies and departments.
Speaker 9: It's almost like they've set out on this journey to
Speaker 9: find fraud, waste, and abuse, when really the fraud, waste
Speaker 9: and abuse was inside them the whole time.
Speaker 5: By a turn, Elon.
Speaker 9: Returns to his day job and estimated two hundred and
Speaker 9: eighty thousand government employees could be fired. But despite all
Speaker 9: the chaos and destruction, there are some things that chainsaw
Speaker 9: can't take away. After experiencing all of this, would you
Speaker 9: trust the government again?
Speaker 12: Honestly, yes you would.
Speaker 6: I would.
Speaker 12: They need people that actually care about the American people.
Speaker 9: So you would go back. But after a healthy boundary talk.
Speaker 3: You yeah, thank you do we come back to Catherine
Speaker 3: Mar we'll be joining me on the show Don't Go Away.
Speaker 3: Welcome bout to Dallas. Now my guest today is the
Speaker 3: president and CEO of NPR. Please welcome Catherine Marr.
Speaker 1: That welcomed.
Speaker 6: Thank here, good to be here. Happy one hundred days.
Speaker 3: I know a lot has happened in the last one
Speaker 3: hundred days. As head of NPR.
Speaker 6: You were recently.
Speaker 3: Asked to testify at the Anti American Airwaves Hearing.
Speaker 6: That's right.
Speaker 3: What kind of anti American shenanigans are you getting up
Speaker 3: to over at NPR.
Speaker 8: Let's see reporting on the impact of the administration on
Speaker 8: disabled folks, reporting on veterans issues, and the revocation of
Speaker 8: a program that was designed to keep veterans in their
Speaker 8: homes following COVID nineteen. Tiny desks concert, Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 3: At some point, Americans deserve big desks, and you guys
Speaker 3: really have been pushing this tiny desk.
Speaker 6: Narrative for so so low efficiency.
Speaker 3: Efficiency, right, I mean, did you ever imagine that you
Speaker 3: would be having to defend yourself in front of Marjorie
Speaker 3: Taylor Green and trying to defend the whole purpose of NPR.
Speaker 3: Was that on your dream board?
Speaker 6: My dream yes, it was.
Speaker 8: My dream board was to advocate for NPR in any
Speaker 8: way that I can in all public media. So if
Speaker 8: I'm going to go in front of Marjorie Tayler Green,
Speaker 8: I'm going to tell her exactly why we're so so
Speaker 8: valuable and beneficial to the country.
Speaker 3: I saw a picture here, we have we have a
Speaker 3: picture here. I want to know what was going through
Speaker 3: your mind and were you were you asking for help
Speaker 3: from a higher beam? What was what was going through
Speaker 3: your head?
Speaker 6: Then? I think I was just trying to sit down.
Speaker 3: You're used to tiny desks like this is just too large.
Speaker 3: This is too large.
Speaker 6: So when you get in there, it's a little bit
Speaker 6: like Mount Olympus.
Speaker 8: They're very very far away and very high up, and
Speaker 8: you're very small and on the ground, and so you're
Speaker 8: just like that thing of looking up. It is actually
Speaker 8: kind of all inspiring. I know that people are sort
Speaker 8: of cynical about Congress at times, but I wasn't all
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm sitting there. This is the seat of
Speaker 8: our legislative branch, and it really was an honor to
Speaker 8: be able to go in.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's you know, NPR, PBS is often it's
Speaker 3: part of the conversation. I think there's been a lot
Speaker 3: of push for many many years to take funding away,
Speaker 3: But in like twenty twenty five, the criticism from the
Speaker 3: right is what do we need public funds to go
Speaker 3: towards NPR for?
Speaker 1: What is that argument?
Speaker 3: People are getting their news from all sorts of people.
Speaker 3: Most people to get their news from the TikTok feed
Speaker 3: from their neighbor, so why do they need their taxes
Speaker 3: to go to a place like NPR.
Speaker 8: Well, there's also a very big difference between disseminating the
Speaker 8: news and gathering the news, and what we do is
Speaker 8: we do news gathering. It allows for people to then
Speaker 8: be able to come in they're spending their commentary on it.
Speaker 8: So I have no problem with TikTok influencers or other
Speaker 8: people re sharing that news. I think that that's actually great,
Speaker 8: but we want them to have credible sources of news
Speaker 8: to begin with, to be able to base that work on.
Speaker 8: But more importantly, I think the big misconception is that
Speaker 8: this money goes.
Speaker 6: To NPR or to PBS. The reality is.
Speaker 8: That the vast majority of funds in public broadcasting resources
Speaker 8: go directly to local stations. So I'm talking about I
Speaker 8: did a little research. I'm talking about Wright, I get it.
Speaker 8: I think it's wm uk WKAR or the stations where
Speaker 8: you grew up exactly, and so stations like that they
Speaker 8: get a significant part of their funding comes from public funds,
Speaker 8: and that really matters, especially when you get into rural
Speaker 8: parts of the country. So I was in Asheville, North
Speaker 8: Carolina recently, as we all know, devastating damage and Hurricane Helene.
Speaker 6: They have enormous.
Speaker 8: Radio towers that broadcast across that topography because it's like this,
Speaker 8: you know, it's that Falacian Mountains, same thing's true eastern Kentucky.
Speaker 8: You get out to the Rocky Mountains, same thing is true.
Speaker 8: Huge spats of the country that's expensive to maintain. We
Speaker 8: cover ninety nine point seven percent of the country with
Speaker 8: our broadcast coverage, and that allows for Americans to have
Speaker 8: access to news even in places where news deserts are growing,
Speaker 8: where disasters happen. That's what your federal funds go to.
Speaker 8: They go to your local station, they go to your
Speaker 8: local reporter.
Speaker 3: So what does that look like? So, I mean the
Speaker 3: threat right now, the threat right now is they take
Speaker 3: a billion dollars away from NPR, PBS over the next
Speaker 3: couple of years, Correct.
Speaker 8: Corporation for Public Broadcasting, NPRPBS and all of public media.
Speaker 6: What does that look like?
Speaker 3: If that goes through, they take a billion dollars away,
Speaker 3: what happens?
Speaker 6: It's not great?
Speaker 8: I really I think that Americans need to be aware
Speaker 8: that it is going to be harmful to the system. Right, so,
Speaker 8: a lot of us probably grew up on kids television,
Speaker 8: PBS kids. It's I mean, it is a crown jewel
Speaker 8: of American public broadcasting programming. And whether you think about
Speaker 8: your history with mister Rogers, whether you're thinking about Sesame Street,
Speaker 8: whether you're thinking about more contemporary programming, that is so
Speaker 8: important and that is a threat under threat. When you
Speaker 8: think about your local radio stations, those may not be
Speaker 8: able to provide the same sorts of services. And the
Speaker 8: first thing that's going to go, I have to tell you,
Speaker 8: is going to be local reporters jobs. We have news deserts.
Speaker 8: Twenty percent of Americans live in a place where they
Speaker 8: have no local news coverage other than public radio. What
Speaker 8: that means is that when we lose public funding, we
Speaker 8: are no longer going to be able to cover things
Speaker 8: like what matters in the state house. We're not going
Speaker 8: to be able to cover natural disasters. We're not going
Speaker 8: to be able to cover issues of local politics, issues
Speaker 8: of what's happening in your local sports team. We know
Speaker 8: that the existence of local news and public radio in
Speaker 8: particular contributes to lower rates of polarization, higher rates of
Speaker 8: civic engagement, and higher rates of civic trust. This is
Speaker 8: foundational infrastructure for our country. Even when we disagree, This
Speaker 8: is the sort of thing that can start to peel
Speaker 8: some of those disagreements and bring us back together.
Speaker 3: Now, it's it's interesting, though we folks on the right
Speaker 3: are complaining there's a liberal bias in places like NPR,
Speaker 3: and we're in a politically charged time and you have
Speaker 3: to as the CEO, you have to walk what that
Speaker 3: line is and appeal to to all of America. But
Speaker 3: I also fear from the left, they feel like moving
Speaker 3: towards the right looks like capitulation. In some ways, I
Speaker 3: feel like you're between a rock and a hard place,
Speaker 3: Like how do you balance this. I don't see a
Speaker 3: situation where there's an articulation of like of fairness that
Speaker 3: both sides can agree upon the right. The right asks
Speaker 3: you to be less progressive or less liberally biased, and
Speaker 3: I think any actions towards that will be seen as
Speaker 3: strict capitulation from the left. Is that where you're at.
Speaker 6: I mean, I won't lie it is. We are always
Speaker 6: in a tough spot.
Speaker 8: But what I love about our mission and our mandate
Speaker 8: is that it's actually our responsibility to try to serve everyone.
Speaker 8: No other commercial media organization has that same mandate. They
Speaker 8: can hyper serve a particular audience, and that contributes to polarization.
Speaker 8: It's actually our job to bring folks together. What I
Speaker 8: see this as is, look, our reporting, our fact based reporting,
Speaker 8: is absolutely down the line. I stand by our journalism
Speaker 8: one thousand percent. We recognize that we have some of
Speaker 8: the best journalists in the business, and they go out
Speaker 8: there and they find stories. Whether they're reporting on Congress
Speaker 8: or whether they're reporting on issues of climate change, desertification, water.
Speaker 6: Rights, etc. They're doing great reporting.
Speaker 8: I think what we need to be able to do
Speaker 8: is to bring more voices onto our air and have
Speaker 8: folks in conversation about the policies that are being made
Speaker 8: in this country today. We need to be able to
Speaker 8: hear from policy makers from across the spectrum. So we
Speaker 8: invite people from every party onto the air, but not
Speaker 8: everyone comes. I don't think that it's a question per
Speaker 8: se of us being biased in terms of our actual reporting.
Speaker 8: What I do think is that we're missing some voices,
Speaker 8: and so I would just take this opportunity to make
Speaker 8: extend again an invitation to conservative voices who feel like
Speaker 8: they're not being heard. I also I think that we
Speaker 8: can't shirk from our responsibility to serve all Americans. And
Speaker 8: so another criticism that we see is that you know,
Speaker 8: we're too woke, but the reality is that this is
Speaker 8: a very diverse nation and our mandate under the Public
Speaker 8: Broadcasting Act is to serve everyone, including the unserved and
Speaker 8: the underserved, and we can't pull away from that either.
Speaker 8: We have to be able to represent America in all
Speaker 8: of its diversity, even when that makes us sometimes uncomfortable.
Speaker 8: That means expanding the tent to be as big a
Speaker 8: tent as possible, rather than sort of moving the tent
Speaker 8: around the country to accommodate different groups.
Speaker 3: You have you thought about, I mean, if you you
Speaker 3: really want to expand that tent, have you thought about rebranding?
Speaker 3: Like Terry Gross presents the American man cast ear hole?
Speaker 3: Like really, like let Terry lean into it, you know.
Speaker 6: Imagining Terry in a naughty pine basement, you.
Speaker 3: Know exactly just just sip and burbin, you know, push
Speaker 3: and ivermectin every now and then, Like, is Terry interested
Speaker 3: in this?
Speaker 6: Come on?
Speaker 8: I couldn't tell you what Terry's drake of choices. Maybe
Speaker 8: it is Bourbon we would have that sounds like a
Speaker 8: great interview.
Speaker 3: This is this is get to the bottom of this
Speaker 3: NPR and the people want to know. Uh, Katherine, before
Speaker 3: you leave, it seems only right for us to give
Speaker 3: you a daily show tote bag. I know this is
Speaker 3: this is currency. I believe this is a This is
Speaker 3: considered the bible in the NPR world. So I wanted
Speaker 3: to pass it along.
