Today on AirTalk, from long lines to locked bathrooms, Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, run by billionaire Elon Musk, sends national parks and other federal-run agencies into chaos after a huge round of layoffs. How will your camping trips be affected and what is the lasting impact of this decision? A psychologist joins us to talk about the place nostalgia holds in our lives.
