| PLEASE SUPPORT KPFK! Original airdate 3-17-2025. A dark day for press freedom around the globe. For the first time since 1942, Voice Of America is silent. The Trump Administration shut down the non-partisan, government-funded, independent Voice Of America and its sister networks, which broadcast to hundreds of millions around the world in more than 60 different languages. Veteran correspondent STEVE HERMAN discusses how VOA provided a consistently reliable and authoritative source of 'accurate, objective, and comprehensive' news around the world, serving as a beacon of light, hope, and democracy to people living in autocratic regimes, how or if it can be rebuilt, and much more.

| Trump blinks on tariffs; Civil rights
|
| Top constitutional law scholars warn that a disturbing new ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court's far-right majority allows for U.S. citizens to be detained and deported to foreign prisons without due process. Trump-appointed judge in Texas blocked the Trump Administration's deportation of Venezuelan migrants. Donald Trump blinked, pausing some of his nutty global trade war tariffs after triggering a days-long, widespread crash on major markets. Some House Republicans have begun to object to Trump's massive, deficit-exploding tax cuts.

| Trump Tariff Market Meltdown; Immigration
|
| Donald Trump's trade sanctions against nearly every nation (except for Russia) triggered a stock market meltdown, sparking fears of a global recession. Trump-supporting callers try to explain the point of Trump's tariffs. Chief Justice John Roberts placed a temporary stay on a court's order to return a man that the Trump Administration admits was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. North Carolina Republican-majority state appeals court panel ruled that more than 60,000 voters should be retroactively disenfranchised, despite following all rules and laws, in last November's state's supreme court election that was narrowly won by a Democratic candidate.
