They break down the mounting scientific evidence showing how phones, tablets, and addictive apps negatively impact brain development, attention spans, and mental health in children and teenagers.  Lara and Dan examine the legal and ethical questions facing Big Tech, including whether companies like Meta and YouTube intentionally engineered addictive algorithms to keep young users engaged for as long as possible

Lara is joined by syndicated radio host Chris Plante for a wide-ranging conversation about the GOP’s strategy heading into the midterms. They discuss why President Trump must clearly and consistently highlight his administration’s accomplishments from the first year and how messaging will be critical in motivating voters.  Lara and Chris examine the debate over voter ID laws, listing the many countries around the world that require identification to vote and questioning why Democrats continue to oppose similar measures in the United States. They also dive into the state of the American education system, arguing that progressive policies have undermined standards and accountability in schools across the country.
