The GOP's 9 Billion Dollar Take-Backsies
from Make It Make Sense with Grant Hermes · host Grant Hermes
Republicans in Congress, at President Trump's request, are calling take-backsies on $9 billion in funding for PBS, NPR, and foreign aid. Despite all three of those things remaining wildly popular, Congress is preparing to pass a bill to claw back money it has already approved. It's a move we haven't seen done successfully in 33 years. Grant breaks down why defunding public media could mean putting lives at risk and why not funding foreign aid will put lives at risk. Plus, how this bill might be cover for an illegal act by the White House, and why it could end up driving a wedge between Democrats.
