John Kennedy, Ocasio-Cortez, and Wasteful Budget Spending
Senator John Kennedy criticizes Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the "socialist wing" of the Democratic Party for threatening a government shutdown over removed budget items. Kennedy lists specific expenditures the GOP cut, including $3 million for medical procedures in Zambia and $3.6 million for pastry classes in Haiti. The hosts suggest these USAID funds often end up in private pockets rather than serving their stated purposes.
