More than half of the average American adult’s diet consists of ultra processed foods.

And eating these foods has been linked to overeating and higher risks of all kinds of diseases, from diabetes to cancer.

Ravi welcomes Tyler Austin Harper, contributing writer at The Atlantic and assistant professor at Bates College, to the podcast to discuss the 2024 presidential race. They cover everything from the continuing series of identity-based fundraisers like White Dudes for Harris and the need for the Harris-Walz campaign to define their policy positions to whether there’s truth in JD Vance’s claims that Democrats are anti-family. They also discuss the need for the Trump-Vance campaign to stay on message and why Trump could not do so during his conversation with Elon Musk on X Spaces. Finally, it’s been just over three weeks since Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race. Ravi and Tyler reflect on his decision, how the Biden team addressed concerns about his health and mental fitness, and why the public deserves an investigation into any cover-up of his alleged decline.

New polling from the Cato Institute asks Americans to weigh their preferences for Buy American policies against the very real likelihood that protectionism will hit them in their pocketbooks. Scott Lincicome and Emily Ekins detail the results.
After years of pressure from the U.S., China is imposing new restrictions on chemicals used in the production of fentanyl. WSJ’s Brian Spegele says the move marks a small step forward after nearly a decade of sometimes-tense negotiations.
This week, the Biden administration announced it is taking on more of what it calls "everyday headaches and hassles that waste Americans' time and money."
And it's doing that by having federal agencies make new business rules.
There are actions to simplify health insurance paperwork, crack down on fake product reviews, streamline parent-teacher communications in schools and circumvent those automated customer service calls that the White House labels "doom loops."
It's all part of a wider economic mission to eliminate modern business practices that the Biden administration believes exploit Americans.
Neera Tanden, the director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, breaks down why this is happening and how it will work in reality.
