The panel also reacted after the Supreme Court struck down most of President Trump’s global tariffs, prompting the president to rail against the ruling. Plus, Dr. Jen Ashton joins the show to announce her groundbreaking new women’s health initiative with the American Heart Association and shares what inspired her and her husband to donate $1 million to launch a new cardiology‑OB‑GYN continuing education program.
