About this episode
President Trump has signed an executive order aimed at dismantling the Department of Education. If Congress approves the dissolution, former U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings argues that states will need to make up for the data, oversight, and funds that the department currently handles for American students. Former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb discusses the spread of avian flu and its impact on America’s food supply and its egg prices. Plus, the New York Times reported that Elon Musk is headed to the Pentagon, Tesla is weathering protests and vandalism, and Home Depot CEO has weighed in on President Trump’s tariffs.
