Episode notes
False First Amendment Claims by NPR
- NPR and PBS claim cutting federal funding violates the First Amendment, but they have no constitutional right to government funding.
- Federal funds only make up a small direct part of NPR's budget, although indirect funding through local affiliates is significant.
Harvard Funding Cut Over Controversies
- The Trump administration is cutting all remaining federal contracts and funding to Harvard due to persistent issues like anti-Semitism and race-based policies.
- Harvard's claim that cutting funding is a First Amendment threat is baseless as no one receives government checks to preserve free speech.
Student Visa Pause for Security
- Over one million new foreign students enter U.S. universities annually, mostly from China and India, raising national security concerns.
- The Trump administration paused all new student visas to improve vetting and curb foreign interference in American universities.
