The GOP backlash against student loan forgiveness

22 Republican Governors sent a letter to President Biden on Monday, asking him to withdraw his student loan forgiveness plan. The governors are saying that only 16 to 17% of Americans have federal student loan debt and now the burden is being shifted to everyone, including low income taxpayers. And, inside U.S. efforts to stop human smuggling in Guatemala. Plus, beer could be in trouble. Guests: Axios' Shawna Chen, Stef Kight, and Mike Deehan.
