RUSH EXCERPT:
MILANO: "Well, I'm with the creative coalition and we are really just do not want trump to cut funding for the NEA. It's 54 cents a year per taxpayer, one dollar invested returns $9 to the economy. The arts generates 5 million jobs with a salary of, you know, $380 billion a year. We're the second largest export in this country. The NEA is fundamental to everything about our economy and our souls, the arts it's the soul, it's the heart and soul of this country. We went around today with the creative coalition and lobbied. I met with Mr. Kilmer, Mr. Dent, Mr. Cole and Mr. Schumer both, you know, different sides of the aisle and everyone is in support of not cutting the funding for the NEA."
