About this episode
On Saturday night, the U.S. military attacked several Iranian nuclear facilities in an attempt to eliminate their potential. Following the announcement, President Trump addressed the nation, boasting the U.S. "obliterated" Iran's nuclear capabilities. Some Americans fear this may drag the United States into an open-ended war. However, the Trump administration rejects those claims. Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Rick Crawford (AR-01) joins the Rundown to discuss what inspired the President to act in a swift, secretive manner while enabling the U.S. military to strike the Iranian nuclear facilities. He shares his hope that the strike will embolden the Iranian people to rise against their repressive regime. President Donald Trump is taking a closer look at infant formula, a topic that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hasn't thoroughly examined in decades. The last comprehensive review of infant formula was conducted in 1998, over two decades ago. Currently, a new FDA panel is seeking answers regarding childhood diseases, such as obesity and diabetes. Former FDA Commissioner Dr. David Kessler, the author of "Diet, Drugs, and Dopamine: The New Science of Achieving a Healthy Weight," joins to discuss strategies for improving health, the popularity of Ozempic-like drugs, and whether or not food companies are trying to get us addicted to junk food. Plus, commentary from senior policy analyst at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, Ben Lieberman. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
