- Top Trump Housing Official Tells Fox News 50-Year Mortgage Scheme is Still ‘On the Table’
A White House Cabinet official told Fox News, on Sunday, that President Donald Trump’s widely-criticized 50-year mortgage plan is still under consideration. In an interview on Fox & Friends Weekend, HUD Secretary Scott Turner was quizzed about the prospect of 50-year mortgages by host Griff Jenkins — who pressed Turner for policy specifics on how the administration plans to make housing more affordable. “I think a lot of the American people are wondering will there be 50-year mortgages, longer mortgage products available?” Jenkins asked. “Will there be this push to perhaps ease zoning restrictions? Share with us some details that the American people are so hungry for of ideas you may present the president with.” Turner’s response was vague. “There’s a myriad of ideas that have been discussed, from mortgage, obviously, from interest rates, to cutting red tape,” Turner said. “I know at HUD, this… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - ‘Which Side is Trump On?’ GOP Congressman Spins His Wheels When Asked if President Supports Russ...A Republican congressman spun his wheels Sunday morning when asked whether President Donald Trump is on Russia’s side or Ukraine’s side in the war between the two. In an interview on ABC’s This Week, Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) made clear which side he believes the United States should be on — but was less clear about where he believes Trump stands. “America, when we address the issue of whose side we’re on, you can’t be America first and be pro-Russia,” Turner said. “Russia is a self-declared adversary of the United States, and here they are mercilessly killing Ukrainians and trying to take Ukrainian land.” The congressman added Ukraine is, “asking for security assurances for the future to have their sovereignty, to have a future. Obviously, we need to be on the side of what they want, which is sovereignty. They’re on the site of democracy, liberty,… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago

In this “Future in Focus” series, we’re asking industry thought leaders, executives and engineers to comment on top trends of the past year and what they expect for radio in 2026. William Harrison is chief engineer for WETA-FM in Arlington, Va., outside of Washington, D.C. Radio World: William, what do you consider the most important thing that happened in the world of radio in the past year? William Harrison: As a public broadcaster, I personally believe the most important event, which affects radio and television, is the elimination of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Politics aside, many public stations depended on money distributed by CPB for their operations, and they’ve had to scale back significantly. For some stations, that meant eliminating positions or local productions, or severing their relationship with other content providers. It’s going to be very interesting to see how this affects the industry in a few… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.9 hours ago - Questions for a New Year
Credit: Getty Images What questions about our industry are on your mind as we head into a new year? I’m curious to know. Here are some of mine. I wonder what kind of technology decisions and innovations radio organizations around the world might explore in 2026 to protect and grow their businesses. Will the U.S. radio industry provide continued employment for people who currently still work in this field? Will the growing use of tools that rely on artificial intelligence erode human employment in radio? Will iHeartMedia set a new precedent for radio with its “Guaranteed Human” initiative, which promises that it will not use AI-generated personalities or synthetic vocalists? How will the long-term trend toward using software instead of hardware-based tools in the air chain change the way radio engineers plan their facilities and infrastructure? Will more companies reduce their studio footprints and make increasing use of regional centers… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.9 hours ago - ‘They Are Not Following The Rules’: MS NOW Analyst Praises Trump’s ‘Hard-Nosed’ Foreign Po...President Donald Trump’s Administration has been using an “unconventional” foreign policy playbook since his return to office — and that has led to some unforeseen “upsides,” according to Jonathan Guyer, the program director for the Institute for Global Affairs. Guyer shared his thoughts on Trump’s foreign policy moves during an appearance on MS NOW’s The Weekend: Primetime on Saturday. “I think the establishment in Washington has something to learn from Trump’s unconventional diplomacy, totally breaking diplomatic precedent,” Guyer said. “Look at his diplomats. I call them cowboy diplomats — Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff — They have no experience. And yet sometimes they get stuff done.” He pointed to the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas as an obvious example. Guyer said that was a big deal that ex-President Joe Biden “did not achieve.” Co-host Catherine Rampell said “part of the risk” of having Kushner and Witkoff making deals is “that… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.16 hours ago
