## Resource

We're two days away from July 4th, when America will celebrate its 250th anniversary. Nicole Sganga gives us the layout of how the Trump Administration will secure the perimeter around the National Mall and keep visitors cool in the hot weather. Ambassador Monica Crowley, the Administration Representative to Freedom 250, joins Major at the desk to discuss President Trump's address to the nation and respond to CBS polling showing that 41% of Americans believe the nation has already experienced its best days. Face the Nation Moderator Margaret Brennan previews her interview with Former CDC official Dr. Deb Houry on how Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s policies on vaccines led to her resignation. Plus, after winning the James Beard Award for Outstanding Pastry Chef, Moon Rabbit's Susan Bae joins "The Takeout" with her two unique desserts for Major to taste on air. You won't want to miss it!
