  • $20 MILLION of our tax dollars for 'Sesame Street' in Iraq?

    $20 MILLION of our tax dollars for 'Sesame Street' in Iraq?
    Feb 10 2025
    There's more to the story: If the USAID doesn't spend $20M on funding Sesame Street broadcasts in war-torn areas to teach literacy, inclusion, and critical health lessons to children, who will they learn from instead of Big Bird? Some might say, Al-Qaeda. This conversation is about the bigger picture, about how programs like the aforementioned are part of the United States showing its "Soft Power" around the world. Learn much more here in Michael's interview with the person who coined that "Soft Power" term, Joseph S. Nye Jr. He is University Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus, and former Dean of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Original air date 10 February 2025.
