Up First from NPR Review

My seventh podcast is Up First from NPR. It is currently in the eighth spot. The title of the episode I listened to was "FBI Search Journalist's Home, U.S. Greenland Talks, Mental Health Funding." They started off talking about the FBI searching a Washington Post journalist's home as part of a leak investigation. They talked about the threat this poses to journalism. The Trump administration says it is about investigating a leak but it in reality Team Trump care nothing about such things as Trump was busted hiding a bunch of classified documents in his bathroom when he was not president and was not authorized to have the documents. Next they talked about how the U.S. talks about Greenland haven't yielded any results. It's just embarrassing that we are in a place where the U.S. is making everyone waste their time talking about how the U.S. can't just steal Greenland. The they talked about some mental health funding that had been cut off had been restored after a news story about it. I liked this podcast, it was brief information about important stories. I hadn't heard the FBI searching the journalist's home when I listened to this so it was informative. The Greenland issue, I had obviously heard of but it was an important story to hear about and a story that just shows the immorality and danger of the Trump administration. The health funding just showed more chaotic government where nothing is thought through. I give this podcast 5/5 for being an informative listen. It's just insane that we have a president right now who is threatening to take over Greenland and it doesn't make people change their mind about supporting him. The problem with our country isn't that we have Donald Trump. Having plenty of villains of course will be happening with a country this size. The problem is the people who support Donald Trump, who don't care about how awful he is, and will never condemn him. Insane that him trying to steal Greenland doesn't cause any Republicans to think he is unfit for office.
