| 0:00.0 | Trump administration announced a sweeping freeze on all federal grants, funds already approved by Congress. |
| 0:04.8 | Chief Washington correspondent John Carl is tracking Trump's executive action. John, the administration says this is just a temporary pause, but it could have major consequences. |
| 0:13.5 | George, look, there is a lot of confusion this morning about what exactly this directive means, but it may be the most far-reaching executive action this |
| 0:21.5 | White House has taken yet. |
| 0:23.5 | It could potentially halt hundreds of billions of dollars in federal spending on everything |
