What powerful moments occurred during the hearings?

0.189 - 23.477 Ben Meiselas

some more powerful cross-examination by Democratic senators at the various hearings. I want to talk about a particularly powerful moment where Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin was questioning RFK Jr., who leads Donald Trump's Health and Human Services. But as you remember from last week, he said, don't take my advice on anything medical related. I shouldn't be asked questions about this.

And you're funding $3 billion less in biomedical research than you did a year prior.

We're spending less on administration of those programs.

58.072 - 59.292 Unknown Speaker

3,200 fewer grants.

Many of the grants were terminated because they were grants that were not advanced.

These aren't grants terminated. These are grants not awarded because the panels weren't convened.
