• 2:01
  Speaker 1: let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go. It's a story.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: You need to hear it to believe. Then grab your
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: popcorn because there is more. I have not shed any
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: tears at all for NPR National Public Radio. There is simply,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to say this as clearly as I can,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: no need for NPR. That is different than whether or
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: not I think NPR should exist. The answer is if
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: they want to self fund and not take government money,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: our taxpayer dollars to engage in real nonsense in terms
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: of reporting, well then that's fine. Go out there and compete,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: do what it is that we do every single day.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: By the way, if the question is do we need
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to exist, well not necessarily. I think local radio matters,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and I think it matters greatly. But we have to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: prove ourselves. We have to go out there and exist
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: every day. We have to prove ourselves to sponsors, We
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: have to prove ourselves regarding ratings. We have to show
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that we provide a value, and we at WIBC most
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: definitely provide a value. NPR doesn't have to do that,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and Kathin Maher, the CEO over there, has never had
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to do that. Opposed to free speech, opposed to ensuring
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: that the stories are actually accurate, as opposed to being
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: ideologically driven. Nah, no one needs NPR. If NPR wants
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to compete, NPR is more than welcome to compete. This
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: brings us to Ken Burns, who is upset regarding what's
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: going on with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This was him.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I don't think he curses in this in this interview
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: with John Avalon. John Avalon is a noted anti trumper,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and this was their conversation. It's a big deal.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: They killed the the Corporation for Public Broadcasting incredibly short sighted.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: It'll hurt mostly rural communities. Maybe that's their intention. They'll
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: be news deserts. Nobody will be covering the school board
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: or the city council meeting. They'll miss not only the
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: children's and primetime programming, but they'll miss you home land
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: security stuff, continuing education, classrooms, of the air warning stuff
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: that comes from the PBS.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: That's a lie. It's a lie. Nobody was tuning into
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the Corporation for Public Broadcasting or NPR for their local
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: town council. They were going to local sources for that.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't you want the most controversial thing I'll ever say,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the thing that will make more people say I can't
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: believe you just said that, But it's absolutely true.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: If you wanted to.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Know what was going on in Brownsburg, Indiana, where are
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: people tuning in more NPR or Rob Kendall. My work
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: here is done. Everybody, thank you, good night.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: End of the list.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: It's not a debate. There's no question here. No one
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: is touting there's gonna be news deserts. I'm sorry, everyone's
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: without a phone and an app. This is a lie,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: This is fraudulent. This is a childlike tantrum being happening
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: here from the film director Ken Burns, who, by the way,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: has done some great work and fascinating, a unique and
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: different It really created a whole presentation. But holy hell,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: what a lie, What a fraudulent thing to say. Let
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: NPR compete. Let them compete, by the way, let them
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: all compete. There's nothing ideologically strange about what it is
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: that I'm saying here. Everything is consistent with me. Competition
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: is good, the market is good. If NBR is so good,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: go out there and win. We need it. We don't
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: corporation for public broadcasting. We need it. We don't Sesame
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Street gets tax breaks and gets to sell Big Bird
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and Elmo and profit. No no no, no, no, no no no
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: no no. And I like Sesame Street, not anti Sesame Street.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not anti electric company. I'm not anti three to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: two one contact. Am I the only person remembers three
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: two on contact? I'm not. I'm certainly opposed to the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: ideological clap trap that can happen in those places, but
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I'm opposed to that everywhere. Go out there and sell
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: it and then present it to people. That's the answer,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: The market's the answer always is the ken Burns here.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: That's news deserts, that's just garbage. And if you buy
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: into that, you're probably somebody who listens to a lot
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: of NPR
