It's Wednesday, April 23rd.
I'm Erin Ryan, in for Jane Koston, and this is What A Day, the show that says,
way to go, meanies, you're not going to have Elon Musk to kick around anymore.
Musk announced Tuesday that he'll be stepping back from Doge after Tesla reported a 71% drop in earnings during the first quarter of 2025.
We're mournfully waving our chainsaws around in solidarity.
On today's show.
Sun-poisoned Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that America's children will now be protected from the menace of artificial food dyes,
thanks to the Trump administration.
And in immigration courtrooms, unaccompanied migrant children were not given attorneys,
leaving more and more kids to represent themselves in their own deportation hearings,
also thanks to the Trump administration.
But first, MAGA is in full-on panic mode about the declining birth rate in the U.S.,
and so the doors of the West Wing are wide open to figuring out how to get more babies born around here.
That's right.
Trump administration officials want you to get pregnant and stay pregnant.
Nothing creepy about that.
That's according to a New York Times article that ran this week,
detailing some of the solutions that have been presented to the Trump administration by concerned pronatalists.
That is,
people who believe that it is important to increase the birth rate in order to assure that all of America doesn't turn into a giant episode of the Golden Girls in a generation.
