Summary

While Congress is on its traditional August recess, the House Oversight Committee is still investigating the alleged cover-up of former President Biden's decline. However, the former President insists he was responsible for all decisions that came out of the White House during his time in office, and former staff members claim they saw no obvious sign of a decline. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (KY-1) joins the Rundown to discuss the Committee's investigation into whether the Biden administration covered up the cognitive deterioration of former President Biden. For decades, advocates have been trying to convince the government that psychedelic drugs could be used as medicine and help with conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. But their efforts fell short. However, there is hope with the Trump Administration as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has voiced his openness to testing their effectiveness. A few states have legalized psychedelics for therapy, and Texas has recently approved funding for research into ibogaine, a psychoactive compound found in a West African shrub. Former Texas Governor and first-term Trump Energy Secretary Rick Perry was behind the effort in Texas and hopes it leads to the development of a drug that wins approval for clinical trials and could eventually be given in a monitored hospital setting. Gov. Perry joins the Rundown to discuss the potential benefits of ibogaine and other psychedelic therapies, and how an Afghanistan veteran inspired his advocacy. Plus, commentary by Vice President of Communications for Focus on The Family, Paul Batura. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
