Trump's truth on May 18th says: If Iran surrenders, admits their Navy is gone and resting at the bottom of the sea, and their Air Force is no longer with us, and if their entire Military walks out of Tehran, weapons dropped and hands held high, each shouting "I surrender, I surrender" while wildly waving the representative White Flag, and if their entire remaining Leadership signs all necessary "Documents of Surrender," and admit their defeat to the great power and force of the magnificent U.S.A., The Failing New York Times, The China Street Journal (WSJ!), Corrupt and now Irrelevant CNN, and all other members of the Fake News Media, will headline that Iran had a Masterful and Brilliant Victory over The United States of America, it wasn't even close.

FADEL: OK. So what happens next? NEUMAN: Well, in the statement I referenced earlier, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said the administration looks forward to, quote, "ultimate victory," which Boutrous takes as a pretty clear sign that the administration will appeal this ruling. If so, it would go next to the D.C. Circuit Court. In First Amendment cases, the D.C. Circuit has ruled in the past against government attempts to police speech. So this is two steps ahead and speculative, but it could potentially wind up before the Supreme Court.
FADEL: I mean, for me, the big question on my mind is - do NPR, PBS, their member stations, get the money back? NEUMAN: Well, the $1.1 billion that Congress took back and that the networks and their member stations had been anticipating for their operating expenses through the end of the next fiscal year isn't going to magically come back. But as it stands, it does mean that a future Congress - one that is more friendly to public broadcasting - could reinstate federal funding for public broadcasting. Here's Theodore Boutrous, the lawyer who represented NPR.
