Military Rescue in Iran, Pam Bondi, Artemis II, and Social Media Addiction Trial

US military rescues airman in Iran, Pam Bondi fired, Artemis II mission circles moon, and landmark case against Meta and Google.

Over the weekend, the US military rescues a US weapons systems officer who was shot down in enemy territory over Iran. President Trump dismisses US attorney general Pam Bondi. And the Artemis II crew gets closer to the moon than any American astronaut since 1972. Michael Reneau from The Dispatch joins to discuss these headlines with Clarissa Moll. Then, Clarissa speaks with Mark, Rachel, and Sarah Lanier, the attorneys who won the first case that held media companies responsible for creating social media apps that addict and harm children.
