About this episode
President Trump’s call for military assistance from other countries at the Strait of Hormuz has met with a mostly cool reception. NBC News reports on why. A federal judge tossed out subpoenas issued to the Federal Reserve in a probe over whether Jerome Powell gave false testimony. The Wall Street Journal’s Nick Timiraos breaks down the case. A cash-only market for GLP-1s is bringing down prices for the drugs across the industry. Christopher Rowland of the Washington Post joins to discuss why low prices for a new class of drugs is unusual. Plus, Cuba’s energy grid collapsed leaving millions without power, a judge tossed out much of RFK Jr.’s new vaccine policies, the face of Trump’s immigration crackdown is retiring, and the world record set by Mexico City ahead of the World Cup. Today’s episode was hosted by Cecilia Lei.
