1A - America’s Relationship With The World Health Organization
It was instrumental in coordinating global action during the pandemic. However, that meant became a target for the president of then and now.
The World Health Organization helps to protect and maintain the health of the world's population. It receives about 10 percent of its budget from the United States. President Donald Trump, however, doesn't see a lot of value in its work, signing an executive order Monday to withdraw America from the membership of the agency.
He called the organization "corrupt" and has accused it of taking more from the U.S. than it gives.
We discuss the future of global health without America at the table of one of its greatest proponents.

The Bulwark Podcast - Mona Charen: A Moment of Truth
Trump is trying to seize powers he doesn't have—like unilaterally rewriting laws and deciding on his own how he wants to spend money Congress appropriated for a particular purpose. Will the Supreme Court stop him? And if it rules against him, will he obey the court's orders? Plus, the money angle behind RFK, Jr.'s conspiracies, and Elon's attempt at a mass buyout is not about making the government leaner and meaner. He's trying to replace good, smart people with lackeys and flunkies, like Tucker Carlson's son. Mona Charen joins Tim Miller.
