On this episode of As The World Churns, Andy and Danielle discuss the GOP’s 2AM vote to gut $9 billion from NPR and PBS, and how Trump’s dream of a personal paramilitary is already reshaping American policing. LaFontaine Oliver, President and CEO of New York Public Radio, joins Danielle to explain what these cuts mean for democracy and why public media matters now more than ever. Then! Radley Balko, journalist and author of Rise of the Warrior Cop, talks to Andy about the death of the police reform debate and how law enforcement became a weapon of the far right.
