Alcohol and Cancer: Navigating Risks

Inauguration Day draws near with the President-elect spending time over the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago estate meeting with Republican lawmakers, discussing how to move forward with his agenda to cut taxes and secure the border. Republicans in the House are divided on whether to pass one large reconciliation bill, or two separate bills to extend tax cuts and deliver on immigration reform. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) joins the Rundown to discuss how Congress will act on the California wildfires, how he and his colleagues will work to unify around the President-elect's plans, and touches on the heightened security surrounding Inauguration Day.

Nampiaparampil joins to share how alcohol contributes to cancer, why you should be open with your doctor about how much you drink, and whether or not 'Dry January' has any health benefits.
