LEILA FADEL, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Leila Fadel. Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was caught on camera filling in a pothole. In a video on Twitter, a driver stops to thank the 75-year-old actor, and here's Schwarzenegger's response.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER: You have to do it yourself. I mean, this is crazy. For three weeks, I've been waiting for this hole to be closed.

FADEL: If he runs for office again, his slogan can be, come with me if you want to live on smoother streets. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
