In a fiery appearance on Newsmax, Greene didn’t hold back when previewing the coming showdown.
“I’m looking forward to holding the hearing tomorrow at 10 a.m. where we will be shining an intense spotlight on how Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars have been used by PBS and NPR, and the type of public broadcasting programs and radio shows they have been pushing across the country for decades,” Greene said.
What’s the end result of all this government support? Drag queens instead of Big Bird. Gender theory instead of reading and math. And taxpayer-funded brainwashing disguised as entertainment for kids.
“It has leaned further and further left, so much so that they now have Drag Queen Story Time instead of good old Sesame Street. They are now part of training children, brainwashing children about gender, which proved to be one of the most important issues in the 2024 presidential election. That was a big loser for Democrats,” Greene declared.
Greene made it clear she’s not trying to silence NPR or PBS. They’re free to spew their left-wing takes if they want. But taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to bankroll it.
“We’re a big believer in the private business industry, so we support these radio stations and these TV channels to be able to carry on with business as usual. We also support the First Amendment. We support their right to be able to, you know, publish their message, put their broadcasting and their programs out, but we don’t think the American people should be taxed to pay for it,” she added.
The hearing that followed was nothing short of explosive.
Greene took aim at NPR CEO Katherine Maher, exposing past tweets where she called Donald Trump a “deranged racist sociopath” and labeled the First Amendment a “challenge.” That’s right—the head of a taxpayer-funded media outlet mocking both free speech and a former President of the United States.
Maher was also pressed on her past support for race-based reparations, her view that white people are inherently racist, and her defense of the looters who destroyed American cities during the BLM riots.

Needless to say, the hearing didn’t go well for NPR or PBS. And President Trump took notice.
In a powerful post on Truth Social, Trump backed Greene’s effort and demanded Congress pull the plug on these biased networks once and for all.
“NPR and PBS, two horrible and completely biased platforms (Networks!), should be DEFUNDED by Congress, IMMEDIATELY. Republicans, don’t miss this opportunity to rid our Country of this giant SCAM, both being arms of the Radical Left Democrat Party. JUST SAY NO AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” Trump wrote.
It’s the kind of no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners approach Americans have been waiting for—and Greene just lit the fuse.
