Have you ever wondered what your last meal would be?

Well, I've got the perfect podcast for you.

Desert Island Dishes is a chart-topping podcast where every week I talk to a different guest about the seven dishes that have shaped their life.

And we find out what the last meal they'd choose to eat before being cast off to the desert island would be. This is a show

about food, guaranteed to inspire you in the kitchen, but it's also a show about people and the

stories behind the food. Listen to Desert Island dishes wherever you get your podcast, and remember

This is John Battstra, a conversation with my colleague, Selina Zito, about an interview she did simultaneously with David McCormack, the Republican senator, just elected, from Pennsylvania,

and John Fetteman, the Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania,

meeting at Braddock, Pennsylvania in Mr. Fetterman's home, which is a converted car dealership

across from a steel mill. The discussion at hand was what happens to U.S. steel after the offer

by Nippon Steel was rejected.

Selina describes the thinking, although it's not out loud yet and not written down, of both men,

seeking to preserve U.S. steel without giving over its ownership, its dominant ownership,

to a foreign power, no matter how friendly the foreign power

looks. Here's Selena to explain, a deal that may be underway. And President Trump has

mentioned as well. More of this tonight. I think they're keeping whatever's going on close to

the vest. However, Senator McCormick and Federman and President Trump are all in sort of the same position.

And that is that the USDA has to remain a majority United States-owned company.

It has to retain its name. What happens with Nippon and

US Steel as pertains to those sort of limitations for Nippon remains to be seen, but I suspect

we're going to know very, very shortly what's going to happen. Have you ever wondered what your last meal would be?
