Summary

Children have been killed and injured while attending mass at their K-8th grade Minneapolis Catholic school. The 23-year-old shooter brought multiple firearms: a pistol, a rifle, and a shotgun—all purchased legally and recently. President Trump has ordered flags lowered to half-staff, as did Minnesota’s Governor Walz. Now, the FBI director says they are investigating the shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and possibly as a hate crime. Retired FBI agent and FOX News contributor Nicole Parker joins the Rundown to share where the investigation into this mass shooting may lead in the days to come as law enforcement searches for answers. A recent Gallup poll indicates that most Americans now believe moderate drinking is harmful to their health, contributing to a steady decline in alcohol consumption in recent years. Board-certified rheumatologist Dr. Mahsa Tehrani joins the podcast to discuss the link between alcohol use and increased cancer risk, the rise of the "sober curious" movement, and how this shifting public sentiment about alcohol consumption may influence upcoming revisions to the federal dietary guidelines. Plus, commentary from “The Mom Wars” podcast and Substack creator, Bethany Mandel. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
