Former Trump official Catalina Lauf joins 'Varney & Co.' to discuss why millennials embrace socialism despite benefiting from capitalism in their daily lives.
America says "never forget" — but a growing share of Americans don't remember. Why it matters: More Americans are coming of age with no firsthand memory of 9/11 , creating emotional distance from the trauma and more room for dark humor and reinterpretation.
