0:00.0	Trump just took an axe to education and food aid with thousands of jobs getting slashed and a billion dollars meant for schools and food banks getting blocked.
0:07.2	You've got U.S. government employees being ordered to burn and shred classified documents with many asking what they're trying to hide.
0:12.5	The truth about Mr. B's business empire just came out in the situation and numbers are shocking.
0:16.5	And I've got some awesome space and cat news just to take the edge off for you.
0:19.6	We're talking about all that and much more.
0:21.4	Nine things you need to know today on today's brand new Philip DeFranco show you daily dive

1:00.3	to me clearly is to shut down the Department of Education, which we know we'll have to work with
1:05.7	Congress, you know, to get that accomplished. But what we did today was to take the first step of eliminating what I think
1:13.3	is bureaucratic bloat. And that's not to say that a lot of the folks, you know, it's a humanitarian
1:18.2	thing to a lot of the folks that are there. You know, they're out of a job. And with that,
1:22.6	as you heard of mention, Trump cannot legally abolish the Education Department without an act of
1:26.4	Congress. And Republicans would need 60 votes to bypass a filibuster.
