This hour examines President Trump’s executive order fast‑tracking psychedelic drugs through the FDA pipeline, a move that has ignited a national debate over science, veterans’ care, and the limits of presidential authority. The hosts frame the order as both a response to America’s escalating mental‑health crisis and a cultural turning point, raising questions about urgency, influence, and the future of psychedelic medicine. The hour closes with Justin Keener, President of Americans for Public Safety, whose work centers on public‑safety reform and evidence‑based strategies to reduce crime and strengthen community outcomes.
