The ongoing story baby formula shortage in the U.S. has left many parents scrambling to find enough to feed their children. The shortage started after a critical manufacturing plant shut down and some products were recalled. That Abbott nutrition plant in Michigan reopened last week but the company warns it could still take nearly two more months before much of the formula is back on store shelves. 

To help explain how any of this could happen, what parents should do, and what the data shows for the decades-old debate about breastfeeding versus formula, we spoke with economist, New York Times bestselling author, and mother Emily Oster.

Time magazine recently named her one of its “100 most influential people” of the year, citing her data-driven and popular advice about parenting and pregnancy in her books “Expecting Better” “Cribsheet” and “The Family Firm.” And now, she’s sharing the latest data-driven information with us, too.

In this Saturday edition of the Daily Signal Podcast, Sam Gregg, Arthur Milikh, and Catherine Pakaluk join us to discuss the faultlines and emerging issues within American conservatism regarding culture, economics, and how the decline of important institutions continues to roil our society. As Sam Gregg observes, "We're not living in the America of the 1980s. We're living in a society which is arguably more fragmented, more divided, in which things that were unthinkable back in the 1980s, like men pretending that they're women or whatever it happens to be, were not issues, but now they are. So I think that the conservative movement, precisely because it's willing to debate these sorts of issues among themselves, but also in a public way. I think that's actually going, in the long term, to equip us better to deal with some of these very real challenges."

Custodia Bank has sued the Federal Reserve.

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io, NEAR and FTX US.  

There is a growing appetite among crypto companies to avail themselves of the legal system to fight for what they believe. This week, Custodia Bank (formerly Avanti), run by Caitlin Long, filed suit against the Federal Reserve for failing to process the bank’s master account application. Grayscale, meanwhile, has hired President Obama’s former Solicitor General, Donald B. Verrilli Jr., to have legal resources to mount a challenge depending on the results of their application to convert the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust into an exchange-traded fund.
