Summary

On Monday, China ended three days of military drills around Taiwan. The war games began following House Speaker McCarthy's meeting with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen. Although Taiwan is a self-governing island, China maintains its claims that the nation is a territory that belongs to them. The military exercises have sparked international concerns about a potential invasion of Taiwan. Congressman Dusty Johnson (R-SD) is a member of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party. He joins the Rundown to discuss the messaging behind China's latest military drills, as well as the country's reunification efforts with Taiwan. As youth mental health in America worsens, schools have begun taking action by pointing the finger at social media companies, even going so far as to file lawsuits against TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube to hold them accountable for this crisis. All across the country, lawsuits have been filed, including in California's San Mateo county, where last month a complaint was filed in federal court accusing social media companies of using AI and machine learning to intentionally make the platforms addictive and harmful to young folks. San Mateo School District Superintendent Nancy Magee and her lawyer, Anne Marie Murphy, join to discuss their case against Big Tech and the negative impacts social media is having on students’ lives. Plus, commentary by FOX News Medical Contributor Dr. Marty Makary. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
