0:04.9 | So today, we're going to talk about a conservative judge ordering Trump's National Institutes of Health Cuts blocked. |
0:13.8 | And even though I'm reluctant to use this kind of descriptor, absolutely destroying Trump's policy in his order. His whole order could be |
0:24.1 | summed up with, seriously, are you joking right now? We hear that all the time in coverage and |
