He was defending the social media app from growing bipartisan backlash over its reported potential harmful impact on teens, especially young girls. Plus, creating a haven for abortions in California. And, a new zero carbon emissions goal for the federal government. Guests: Axios' Margaret Harding McGill, Oriana Gonzalez, and Ben Geman.
