How does the Surgeon General plan to fix America's urgent youth crisis? Plus, a reality check on efforts in Washington and beyond to make social media safer for kids. Guests: U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy; Axios tech and policy reporter Ashley Gold Credits: 1 big thing is produced by Niala Boodhoo, Alexandra Botti, Fonda Mwangi and Alex Sugiura.
