In one of his most audacious moves since taking office, President
Trump ordered a freeze on Tuesday on trillions of dollars in
federal money — from anti-poverty programs to foreign aid — in
order to purge the government of what he called woke ideology.

Michael D. Shear, a White House correspondent for The New York
Times, discusses the order, the chaos it prompted and whether it
is likely to survive in court.

Guests: Michael D. Shear, a White House correspondent for The New
York Times.

Background reading:

A judge stayed President Trump’s freeze, but disruption to
the Medicaid funding system caused fear.

Uncertainty around the freeze also caused chaos in education.
