The 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson

Congress Grills NPR, a Filibuster Showdown & Behind the Tariffs Week In Review


Listen Later

  1. Congressional Hearing:

    • The CEOs of NPR and PBS faced tough questioning from Congress, reminiscent of previous hearings involving Ivy League presidents on anti-Semitism.
    • Catherine Maher, the CEO of NPR, was particularly criticized for her past tweets and statements, which were scrutinized by Brandon Gill, a freshman House member from Texas.
  2. Key Exchanges:

    • Maher was questioned about tweets related to white supremacy, reparations, and looting. She often claimed not to recall the context or denied the implications of her tweets.
    • Gill highlighted contradictions in Maher's statements, pointing out her previous calls for reparations and her views on looting.
  3. Maher's Background:

    • Maher has a history of working with various organizations, including the Council on Foreign Relations, UNICEF, the National Democratic Institute, the World Bank, Access Now, and the Wikimedia Foundation.
    • Her testimony was seen as evasive and out of touch, drawing parallels to past controversial testimonies by other leaders.
  4. Filibuster Record:

    • We also mention Senator Cory Booker's record-breaking filibuster, surpassing Strom Thurmond's previous record.
    • Senator Ted Cruz shared his experience and advice on filibustering, including practical tips like wearing comfortable shoes and drinking minimal water.
  5. Tariffs and Economic Policy:

    • We discuss President Trump's use of tariffs as leverage and economic policy, highlighting the immediate and long-term impacts on the economy.
    • The Tax Foundation's analysis predicts significant revenue from tariffs but also potential negative effects on GDP and household income.
