Summary

Amid America's ongoing drug epidemic, lawmakers on Capitol Hill have proposed legislation to prevent drug smuggling efforts from cartels at the southern border. Now, the FDA has approved the over-the-counter sale of Narcan, a drug used to treat and reverse opioid overdoses. FOX News Medical Contributor and Professor at NYU Langone Health Dr. Marc Siegel joins the Rundown to discuss America's drug crisis, how Narcan works, and important signs to watch out for to spot an overdose. Later, Executive Vice President at Fort Wayne Recover and Allendale Treatment Nate Moellering discusses the benefits of making Narcan accessible, the effects it has on the body, and why he advocates for overdose prevention and intervention as a former addict himself. Campaign travel has begun in anticipation of a 2024 showdown for the Republican presidential nomination, and many pundits and preliminary polls are forecasting a close contest between former President Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Meanwhile, Americans’ faith in the political system has decreased, and a recent survey of U.S. citizens showed that values like patriotism and tolerance have decreased significantly from previous years. Former Congressman Will Hurd talks 2024 GOP politics and his new book, ‘American Reboot.' He breaks down a winning strategy for Republicans in a national election, how GOP candidates will appeal to voters in 2024, and the important distinction between TikTok and other social media companies. Plus, commentary by Former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Ben Carson. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
