Without objection. Mr. President. Cutting funding the corporation Public Broadcasting would devastate local public media, especially in rural and tribal areas where CBP funds make up the majority of their budgets. In Arizona, stations like White River and Tuba City rely on [Corporation for Public Broadcasting] for about three quarters of their funding. That's especially important since nearly 80% of children in Arizona don't have access to formal preschool. Meaning that for many families, public television is one of their only early childhood education tools. (00:20–00:25)
