CNN Michael Smerconish argues the biggest problem in the labor market is not a shortage of manufacturing jobs, but the unwillingness for young men to fill them. NYU Professor Scott Galloway & Anthony Scaramucci, a former White House Communications Director, discuss their new podcast called "Lost Boys." The limited series dives into the mental health struggles and social disconnect young men are facing. Salena Zito, a national political reporter for the Washington Examiner, reports on the impact tariffs on U.S. Steel mills near Pittsburgh and what union workers expect from Trump's administration. Scientists have successfully engineered dire wolves, the world's first de-extincted animal, through gene-editing and cloning. Dr. Robert Klitzman, a psychiatry professor and director of the bioethics master's program at Columbia University, warns about the alarming consequences this could have.
