A quick note before we start today's show,
you may have heard that President Trump has issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR.
This is the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country.
The executive order is a slide to the First Amendment rights of public media organizations and the American people.
NPR remains committed to serving the public.
That's you.
We lay out the facts and then you can decide how you want to feel about them.
And you really won't find that kind of reporting really anywhere else.
This is a pivotal moment.
It's more important than ever that every supporter who can contribute comes together to pitch in as much
as they can.
