Does NYC Mayoral Primary Show Democrats Shifting Further Left? Jun 26, 2025

Show notes

Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani has declared victory in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary, beating out moderate candidate and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. The primary results sent waves through the Democratic Party, as voters seemed energized by this candidate's radical agenda that includes free public transit fares, free childcare, and promises to oppose ICE operations in the city. Democratic consultant and former advisor to President Clinton, Doug Shoen, joins the Rundown to discuss whether Blue State voters are jumping even further left.

The call to enlist may look different to each American. Retired Staff Sgt. Johnny Joey Jones remembers he and many from his generation enlisted right after the September 11th terror attacks. In Jones’ new book, “Behind the Badge,” he spoke to retired Marine, bomb tech, and former LAPD officer Steve Hennigan about the catalyst for his becoming a Marine: the 1983 Beirut Bombings. Later, Hennigan tells Jones about his relentless pursuit to protect and serve with the Los Angeles Police Department.

President Trump Drops The “Hammer” On Iran Jun 23, 2025

Show notes

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.
