Pat Kreitlow fills in for Maggie today who is feeling a little under the weather. Pat dives into the fiscal chaos as Congress grapples with the expiring 2017 Trump tax cuts, which favored the wealthy and ballooned the deficit. Bobby Kogan from the Center for American Progress breaks down the GOP's plans for massive cuts to food aid and Medicaid, revealing the harsh reality behind political rhetoric about waste and fraud. On a lighter note, Pat also chats with Kurt Ravenwood, producer of 'Hundreds of Beavers,' a slapstick silent film defying Hollywood's norms and charming audiences worldwide with its indie spirit and comedic nostalgia.
