I'm Josie Duffy Rice, in for Jane Koston, and this is What a Day,
the show that didn't know that President Donald Trump is joining the liberal war on Christmas.
Somebody said, oh, the shelves are going to be open.
Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, you know?
And maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally.
Daddy Warbucks says only two dolls for America's children.
And you know what?
As someone who lives in a house with so many dolls everywhere all of the time with a four-year-old,
I'm kind of for this two-doll thing.
On today's show,
Ukraine signs a minerals deal with the U.S. as Treasury Secretary Scott Besant criticizes Russia's war.
And the economy shows more signs of decline with first-quarter GDP numbers.
But first, let's start with Trump's war on college campuses.
Many institutions find themselves copped up in an unwinnable fight.
You either capitulate to the president's authoritarian-esque demands,
or you lose millions or even billions in federal funding,
including critical medical research dollars.
Some schools like Columbia have already caved.
Others have been more defiant.
