As Americans settle into the new year, it seems the majority are feeling better about the economy — as spending increases and consumer sentiments become more positive, according to researchers. This, combined with a low unemployment rate and a burst of new jobs in the market, indicates high inflation could soon be a thing of the past. However, as the Federal Reserve holds interest rates at a record high, how long will it be until Americans begin to feel true relief after years of unprecedented prices? FOX Business White House Correspondent Edward Lawrence shares why Fed Chair Jerome Powell is choosing to keep interest rates the same for yet another month and how the economy is playing a role on the 2024 campaign trail. Last month, the Supreme Court lifted an order by the Court of Appeals saying that border patrol agents cannot interfere with razor wire Texas installed along the border, except in medical emergencies. Because thousands of migrants enter the United States every day, the Lieutenant Governor of Texas, Dan Patrick, said that the state would not stop putting up razor wire. Governor Greg Abbott calls the crisis an invasion, accusing the federal government of failing to protect his state. George Washington University Law School Professor Jonathan Turley describes the tense legal battle between the state and federal government.  Learn more about your ad choices.

American prosperity and military supremacy since the end of World War Two have made the U.S. "the world's policeman," many times being forced to intervene in global conflicts.

Republican presidential hopefuls spent most of 2023 campaigning across the United States. However, as many threw in the towel and withdrew by the end of the year, one thing stayed consistent: former President Donald Trump remains the GOP frontrunner. He heads into 2024 with 91 felony counts against him, legal woes that have yet to impact his broad voter support. Director of the FOX News Decision Desk, Arnon Mishkin, shares the most notable moments from the race so far and discusses the impact of Democrats’ decision to change their primary calendar. Despite President Biden touting his Bidenomics agenda throughout the year, poll numbers have consistently shown that the average American believes the economy is not doing well.

Jared Bernstein, the chair of the Biden administration's Council of Economic Advisers, joined in January to discuss the high cost of higher education and the tools Congress has available to combat the price.

However, many are afraid Hamas can't be trusted to keep the peace. On the Rundown, Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (R-NY) explains how she believes Hamas may "manipulate and abuse" the opportunity Israel has given them with this ceasefire and why this likely will not lead to a sooner end to the war. She also discusses the recent car explosion at the U.S.-Canada border and how it echoes the need for better security at our northern border, the fight over government funding in Washington, and how the migrant crisis continues impacting her state.

However, there are exceptions to America's education problem.

Special guest host Dana Perino speaks with Dan Senor, former foreign policy advisor to President Bush and author of the new book, “The Genius of Israel.” Dan recounts where he was when he learned of the October 7th Hamas terror attacks and how his book unpacks how Israeli citizens unite and project resilience in the face of great adversity.

FOX News Sunday anchor and host of the Living the Bream podcast, Shannon Bream, joins the Rundown to discuss how abortion will affect candidates in the 2024 presidential election and why Congress needs to act on Israel and Ukraine funding before the government runs out of money.

Many of these college demonstrations featuring antisemitic chants or signs have been supported by some university staff, bringing many to question what exactly is being taught in America’s educational institutions.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to meet with Saudi Arabia's foreign minister to address growing concerns that the brutal conflict in Israel could spread across the Middle East. The U.S. has been prioritizing efforts to ensure Iran stands down — carrying out two 'self-defense' air strikes in response to several attacks on U.S. bases and personnel carried out by Iran-backed militia groups in recent weeks. On the Rundown, former U.S. National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley shares his response to how the Biden administration is working to avoid escalation in Israel, Hamas' ability to launch a surprise attack without intelligence agencies' knowledge, and his disappointment regarding the 'unacceptable' antisemitic movements that have sparked across the globe following the crisis in Israel, including here in the U.S. Last Wednesday, 40-year-old Robert Card shot and killed 18 people in Lewiston, Maine. A few months earlier, he had allegedly made threats to an army base and spent two weeks in an inpatient facility. The tragedy has sparked a conversation about whether or not the shooting could have been prevented. Dozens of states across the country have red flag laws that prevent individuals who show signs of being a threat to themselves or others from owning a firearm.

As much as the motion to vacate felt abrupt, it has long been threatened by both Democrats and Republicans alike. Republican Strategist and former Deputy Communications Director for former Speaker John Boehner, Mike Ricci shares why he believes Democrats did not bail the Speaker out, speculates the reasoning behind the lack of trust between representatives, and predicts that whoever fills this vacancy will face a multitude of competing priorities. With the future of Republican leadership in the House of Representatives up in the air, what could become of future aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia? Many Republicans have voiced their opposition to further Ukraine aid in future spending bills, with the issue also driving a wedge between 2024 Presidential Candidates. Former U.S. Ambassador to NATO and Special Representative to Ukraine under former President Trump, Kurt Volker discusses why it is imperative that the U.S. continues aid to Ukraine, what European nations are doing to help with the war effort, and how America's political situation factors into Russian President Vladimir Putin's plans for the war.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg testified before The House of Representatives Transportation and Infrastructure Committee today who grilled him on a summer of air travel troubles, rail safety and the administration's push on electric vehicles. Secretary Buttigieg said that flight cancellations are down to pre-COVID days and touted thousands of infrastructure projects in all states.

To avoid a government shutdown, Congress has until the end of September to pass a new spending bill. Currently, House Republicans are unable to reach a consensus on defense spending and move forward with a proposed short-term solution. Speaker McCarthy’s proposed GOP plan included approximately 8 percent in budget cuts, allocating no money for military aid to Ukraine but did provide funds to bolster border security measures. A procedural vote on Tuesday effectively defeated the GOP plan, with Republican lawmakers fighting internally about where spending is most needed. One of the few naysayers, Republican Congressman Matt Rosendale (R-MT), joins the Rundown to share why he is not worried about the possibility of a shutdown and why he lobbied against the continuing resolution. Seventy percent of Americans say transgender athletes should only be allowed to compete in sports on teams that match their birth gender. The issue has stirred controversy across schools in the United States, with some parents of female athletes voicing opposition to what they see as an unfair advantage, while more liberal countries have had the community argue this backlash is LGBTQ+ discrimination. The debate has the Biden administration in a difficult spot, with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre telling FBN there is no "yes or no answer" for this issue. Meanwhile, 2024 GOP candidate Nikki Haley has called this the "women’s issue of our time," criticizing the Biden administration for allowing "biological men to compete in women’s sports." On the Rundown, FOX Business' Hillary Vaughn is covering this as part of FBN's weeklong series on "Education in America,'' and she breaks down the trans athlete controversy and how lawmakers are addressing these concerns.

Yesterday’s House Homeland Security Hearing on migration and the U.S. Border covered one border issue that, despite its severity, is not commonly spoken about. A startling number of migrants being brought across the southern border are being sold into human trafficking by the same cartels or illegal enterprises bringing them to the U.S. With few connections or ways to make money, this has led to many migrants being trapped, and lawmakers like New York Congressman Anthony D’Esposito are determined to find solutions to fight this tragedy. On the Rundown, Rep. D’Esposito discusses how migrants are being trafficked in every state across the U.S., not just those on the border, and why lawmakers must stop “pointing fingers” and instead focus on finding solutions to protect the border. He also speaks about how law enforcement agencies should be supported to ensure they can catch the criminals behind these heinous acts. An escaped prisoner from Chester County Prison was on the loose in Pennsylvania for nearly two weeks until he was captured by authorities on Wednesday. Convicted murderer, thirty-four-year-old, Danelo Cavalcante was taken into custody shortly after 8 a.m. when an aircraft using thermal technology finally led state police and U.S. Border agents to his location. Former DOJ and FBI Special Agent, Nicole Parker, joins the Rundown to provide details into what mindset the criminal was in when he escaped and break down the behind-the-scenes of how law enforcement finally tracked him down.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday gave the go-ahead for an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, after facing increased pressure from conservatives in the House.

A new gun suspension order has New Mexicans up in arms, as they claim the ruling is a violation of Second Amendment rights. The temporary suspension, put in place by New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham was enacted under an emergency public health order, prompted by the recent fatal shootings of a 13-year-old girl and 11-year-old boy in recent months. Democrats and Republicans have criticized the ruling, claiming the suspension of open and concealed carry laws for Bernalillo County residents will not stop criminals from committing crimes but only prohibits law-abiding citizens from protecting themselves. On the Rundown, New Mexico State Representative John Block (R-51st District) discusses why this order unjustly violates constitutional rights, what complaints he's hearing from both Republicans and Democrats regarding the ruling, and why many believe this action could set back the creation of productive gun control laws.   Plus, commentary by Jason Rantz, Host of the Jason Rantz Show and author of "What’s Killing America."

These trips come at a time when many Americans have been raising concerns about the President’s age and ability to serve a second term. After the President was interrupted by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre during a press conference in Vietnam when he appeared to be trailing off 25 minutes in, many eyebrows continued being raised about the President’s abilities.

Migrants continue flocking to major hubs like New York City despite there being little to no space left to house asylum seekers. The issue has gotten so severe that New York City Mayor Eric Adams claims the migrant surge "will destroy New York City" if they are not given proper funding and resources. As the migrant crisis leads to an estimated $12 billion budget deficit in NYC, many lawmakers are asking what it will take for President Biden to put this issue higher on his priority list. On the Rundown, New York Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis joins to discuss why she believes the mayor's actions have 'incentivized illegal immigration,' as opposed to preventing it and why allowing this is "a slap in the face" to the immigrants in New York City who did follow the legal process to live in the U.S. She also honors those who tragically lost their lives 22 years ago today on September 11th, 2001 and how the heinous attack committed on 9/11 continues impacting members of her community to this day. The COVID-19 pandemic shined a spotlight on remote education. But now that children have mostly returned to the classroom, schools are finding it increasingly difficult to staff teachers.

Federal prosecutors announced they will seek an indictment of Hunter Biden by the end of September. Many believed the President's son would put a stop to his legal woes last month as he intended to take a plea deal for his misdemeanor tax charges and enter a diversion program for a separate felony gun charge.

Plenty of focus is on the GOP presidential primary race, while President Biden has had very few campaign events for his 2024 presidential race. Only two candidates, neither holding elected office, have challenged the President for the Democratic nomination, but due to their low poll numbers, he will all but certainly remain his party’s nominee. But who is President Biden’s heir apparent in 2028? FOX News Radio political analyst Josh Kraushaar joins the Rundown to explain how 2024 is shaping up for both parties, which Democrats appear to be waiting in the wings for their shot at commander in chief in 2028, and how key political moments can make or break would-be candidates and create future stars in the political parties.   For the first time since Chinese President Xi Jinping came into power in 2012, he will not attend this year’s annual G20 Summit in India. Though reports say China still plans to send their No. 2 leader, Premier Li Qiang — Jinping’s absence has raised eyebrows across the globe. Why would he miss out on representing China at one of the most influential gatherings of the year? Some wonder if the growth of India, where the Summit will be this year, and their growing relationship with the West may have led to China “rebuffing” the host country. Others voice concerns about what this could mean for the nation’s already fragile relationship with one of our top adversaries. On the Rundown, FOX’s Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent Greg Palkot joins Alex Hogan to discuss what messages he believes the Chinese President is sending via his absence, how this reflects America’s “frosty” relations with the country, and how concerned world leaders should be that China seems to be distancing itself from the other members of the G20.   Plus, commentary from co-host of Fox & Friends Weekend and Host of ‘The Will Cain Podcast’ Will Cain.

Surges of migrants continue coming to the U.S.-Mexico border in hopes of entry, leading to what many deem an ongoing border crisis, as border patrol agents struggle to control the border with limited resources & a surplus of immigrants coming daily. This has impacted every state in America, as critics claim a loose border allows for deadly drugs like fentanyl to make their way to the U.S. while large groups of migrants overwhelm small border towns and take buses or planes to sanctuary cities that have now run out of space. One district particularly impacted is Texas’ 23rd district — which makes up 800 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border. On the Rundown, Congressman Tony Gonzales, who represents this district, joins to discuss how the border crisis continues impacting his constituents, why it’s up to Republican lawmakers in Congress to craft border legislation as the Biden administration neglects to do so, and what pathway he believes should be available to migrants wanting to enter the U.S. that is safe and efficient.

This marks one of the biggest jumps in unemployment since before the COVID-19 pandemic. Co-host of The Big Money Show on FOX Business Brian Brenberg joins the Rundown to break down the current state of the economy, explain why the rising unemployment rate can have positive impacts down the road, and explain why many companies are grappling with a hybrid-work model to save on spending.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy appeared on Fox News last week, signaling an impeachment inquiry may be coming for President Biden. This follows a months-long trend, with various Republican lawmakers calling for accountability and further investigation into the President and his family’s business and foreign business dealings.

For decades China has been purchasing portions of the United States' debt, ultimately earning the title of the largest foreign owner of U.S. Treasury securities.

Governor Ron DeSantis is the only sitting governor who has already qualified for the second Republican Primary Debate in the 2024 Presidential Election. Despite falling 37 points behind former President Donald Trump in the most recent FOX News Poll, Floridians seem to approve of his ability to manage his state during the Category 4 Hurricane Idalia. Gerald L.

President Biden and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis may be political adversaries, but they’ve spent a great deal of time on the phone in recent days coordinating the disaster response to Hurricane Idalia. For the Biden administration, they are grappling with handling this disaster after receiving mixed public opinion on their response to last month’s deadly wildfire in Hawaii. Meanwhile, in Washington, the age of politicians is under scrutiny again after Senator McConnell appeared to freeze again in a press conference. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to explain how the disaster response efforts will demonstrate leaders’ ability to lead in a crisis, how NY Governor Kathy Hochul is pressing the Biden administration for resources as migrants overwhelm them, and how the McConnell situation has furthered concerns about aging politicians' fitness for office. Federal marijuana restrictions may soon be easing. The Department of Health and Human Services signaled this on Wednesday, issuing a new recommendation to reclassify the drug in the lower-risk category of Schedule III rather than its current status as a Schedule I drug. This move follows the political and social trend of legalization we have seen throughout the country in the past decade, with 23 states legalizing the drug for recreational use. The new recommendation will be reviewed by the DEA, but advocates have long pushed for this classification shift that would bolster the growing cannabis industry. Former FBI supervisory special agent Lance Leising explains what this means from a law enforcement perspective and how it sets the stage for national cannabis decriminalization down the road.

School districts across the U.S. are debating what policies to adopt when handling students who request to change their name or gender identity at school. Should parents be informed if their children make a request of this nature, or should it stay between the teacher and student due to potential safety concerns at home?

Wednesday marks two years since the end of the Biden administration's chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, which resulted in the deaths of thirteen U.S. service members. Their deaths at the hands of a suicide bomber at Abbey Gate in Kabul marked a tragic end to the nation’s largest evacuation effort in U.S. history, officially ending two decades of war.

So how will these cities find solutions with insufficient funding, a lack of physical space, and concerns from residents?

Russian officials have confirmed that the chief of the Russian Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, was among the ten people killed in a plane crash last week. This comes two months after Prigozhin led an insurrection against Russian President Vladimir Putin, leading many to believe it was an intentional hit by Putin, despite the Kremlin claiming otherwise. This week in the U.S., Americans honor the two-year anniversary of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the attack at the airport in Kabul that led to the death of 13 service members. The Gold Star families who lost loved ones continue calling for transparency & accountability from the White House, as many never learned how their loved ones passed or why the withdrawal ended in tragedy. On the Rundown, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) explains how he is working with families to gain clarity & ensure similar disasters can be avoided. He also shares his thoughts on the fatal plane crash and why the claim that Prigozhin’s death was accidental is “laughable.” Cancer diagnoses among young Americans are on the rise. Many recent studies have found that for people under the age of 50, the rate of cancer diagnoses is going up, and despite zeroing in on this concerning trend, doctors are struggling to figure out why this is happening. One study looked at cancer diagnoses between 2010 and 2019 and found that people are approximately 15 percent more likely to be diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancers than they were a decade ago, thus making it the fastest-growing type of cancer amongst young people. FOX News Medical Contributor and Professor at NYU Langone Health, Dr. Marc Siegel, joins the Rundown to discuss possible causes for the spike, encourage Americans to start screening for cancer at a young age, and analyze the future of cancer treatment.

Over 50 years after Americans walked on the moon for the first time, the U.S. finds itself in a new modern space race.  Several countries are now eagerly trying to land on the dark side of the moon in an effort to one day tap its resources.  Just this week, India became the fourth nation on Thursday to successfully land on the moon. That was just days after Russia's first lunar mission in nearly five decades failed.  Former NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine joined Chris Foster earlier this week, just before India' historic success, to discuss why there is an urgency to land on the south pole of the moon and why the water, and minerals there matter so much. Bridenstine explained how establishing bases near and on the moon could benefit private businesses and be a launching pad to future Mars missions.

As summer winds down and America's children head back to school, Congress has a major assignment awaiting them when they return from their August recess. Washington lawmakers will have to race to pass various appropriation bills in order to avoid a government shutdown. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins to discuss the hurdles that face Congress upon their return, why House Speaker Kevin McCarthy may be reluctant to work with Democrats on the legislation, and how a potential impeachment inquiry into President Biden factors into the negotiation process.  As the United States continues to suffer from drug shortages, many Americans are struggling to fill prescriptions for antibiotics and even some cancer treatments. The reason we’re experiencing this is because many of our country's pharmaceuticals or their active ingredients are produced overseas.  There is a growing effort by some Washington lawmakers to bring production back home and help America become less reliant on countries like China. Eric Edwards, cofounder and CEO of Phlow, a pharmaceutical company based in Richmond, Virginia, joins to discuss the importance of manufacturing active pharmaceutical ingredients domestically and why Congress should push harder for reform.

Several states in America are rethinking prostitution. Or at least how to address those who are involved in it.  For example, Maine's Governor Janet Mills recently signed a bill that will no longer make it a crime - for at least the adult offering sexual services. However, It would still be illegal to buy sex or be a pimp. And in New York state, lawmakers are also weighing a bill that would decriminalize 'sex work'.   Not surprisingly, these bills have reignited the debate over how best local and state governments should address the 'world's oldest profession' and those whose lives are negatively affected by it.  Earlier this month, New York Republican State Senator Anthony Palombo and Vice President of the National Center of Sexual Exploitation Eleanor Gaetan joined the FOX News Rundown's Lisa Brady to discuss the pros and cons of legalizing, decriminalizing, or over prosecuting prostitution.  Both guests had concerns for the safety of sex trafficking victims, but had different ideas on how best to help them and address the other crimes and social problems associated with the sex trade business.  We made edits for time and thought you might like to hear our entire conversation with Congressman New York Republican State Senator Anthony Palombo and Vice President of the National Center of Sexual Exploitation Eleanor Gaetan.

With the first 2024 Republican presidential debate behind us, the question that remains is: has the political landscape shifted? The GOP contenders traded barbs in Milwaukee, and many have singled out former Governor Nikki Haley and tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy for memorable appearances, but now it is up to American voters to react with fundraising dollars and polling.

The air was tense last night in Milwaukee, following the first 2024 Republican presidential debate that set the tone for a fiery race between GOP presidential candidates that is likely to only heat up from here. While there were stand-out performances and memorable one-liners from many on the stage, particularly from some who had fallen behind in the polls like former Vice President Mike Pence and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, there were also candidates with a lot to prove that left voters unimpressed.

Policies regarding students' gender identities are a main focus this back-to-school season in New Jersey, as several districts are trying to enact new mandates requiring teachers and staff to notify parents if their child wishes to change their gender identity, pronouns, or use different bathrooms. On Friday, a New Jersey judge temporarily blocked this rule, saying it would violate discrimination laws and hurt transgender students. Some parents in the Garden State, on the other hand, are pushing for this policy to become the norm, arguing it violates parental rights.

Former President Trump has announced his intention to not appear at any of the primary debates, despite being the frontrunner in the Republican primary race.

Candidates making up the crowded 2024 GOP field have a crucial opportunity to set themselves apart and gain favor from voters during this week's debate -- but how will they do so? Will they go after former President Donald Trump, regardless of whether he makes an appearance, or focus more on convincing voters why they must get President Joe Biden out of the White House, offering a more hopeful view of the future?

To break it all down, former White House speechwriter and Fox News Contributor Marc Thiessen joins the Rundown to discuss why winning over independent & swing voters could be key to securing the nomination, how President Trump's legal battles could work both against him and in his favor simultaneously, and his predictions on which candidates could end up surprising viewers most during Wednesday's debate.

FOX News Channel hosts the first Republican Primary Debate of the 2024 election cycle on Wednesday, August 23rd, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The candidates are preparing for a stage that may or may not have the former President and leading Republican candidate, Donald Trump participating. Director of the FOX News Poll and member of the FOX News Decision Desk Daron Shaw discusses the history of Presidential primaries, how each candidate is shaping up in the Republican field, and explains why debate strategy may not change whether or not former President Trump attends.   How old is too old? Lawmakers in the United States are starting to work well beyond retirement age. With politicians like Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) recently suffering from health scares, it poses the question of when lawmakers should hang up their hats. If elected for a second term, President Joe Biden will be 82 years old on inauguration day, causing voters to become apprehensive about his cognitive abilities. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram examines why some are not eager to step down from their positions and why it is perfectly reasonable for voters to question their leaders' mental capabilities.

As Americans gear up for the first Republican Presidential primary debate, an important question remains: Will former President Donald Trump take the debate stage? As he manages four indictments, the former President has yet to signal if he’ll be making an appearance in Milwaukee alongside the other seven Republican presidential candidates vying for the nomination — but his presence, or lack thereof, could have significant impacts on how the debate plays out. Fox News Chief Political Anchor Bret Baier, who’s preparing to host the debate alongside Fox News’ Martha MacCallum, joins the Rundown to discuss where he believes former President Trump’s head may be regarding his appearance, how his attendance will likely shape what topics will be top of mind for the other GOP candidates, and what other issues are expected to come up in Milwaukee next week. Some candidates are still struggling to qualify for the first Republican primary debate, with just one week to turn things around. Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson (R-AR) has met the polling requirements, but not the fundraising criteria of 40,000 donors.

Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Friday that he was appointing a special counsel to further the investigation into Hunter Biden; however, who he chose to lead the charge left many raising eyebrows. David Weiss, a principal figure in the Hunter Biden case, will be conducting the probe, though due to his past involvement in the investigation and the role he played in negotiating Hunter's "sweetheart" plea deal, many Republicans have criticized this move. Attorney Sol Wisenberg, who served as former Deputy Independent Counsel in the Whitewater and President Clinton investigations, joins the Rundown to discuss why he does not support Weiss leading the special counsel due to his previous actions in the investigation, the likelihood of Hunter Biden facing an indictment, and why President Biden himself could also face special counsel in the future. Five Americans in custody in Iran may soon have a chance at freedom, as the United States is negotiating a tentative deal for their release, but it is not without its drawbacks. In return, Iran wants the U.S. to approve the release of nearly $6 billion in assets frozen by American sanctions. Additionally, Iran would receive some Iranians imprisoned in America as well. This deal would come at a time in which many national security experts in the nation are wary of Iran’s ambitions for nuclear power, and some warn that approving the unfreezing of assets would be akin to paying ransom to Tehran. FOX News Chief National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin has spoken to the families of those imprisoned and government sources who are negotiating for these Americans’ freedom. She joins the podcast to break down the terms of the deal and the dangerous precedent it may set. Plus, commentary by Fox Nation host Tammy Bruce. Learn more about your ad choices.

As China remains a prominent threat, families continue to face economic woes, and President Biden’s approval ratings keep dropping in the polls, it has become clear that many Americans may be ready for a change of leadership in 2024. As many Republican candidates step up to hopefully become the party’s next presidential nominee, they must first take a trip on the campaign trail to attract voters. One of their first, and most important, stops is Iowa — and as many GOP candidates make their way across the state to meet voters, it’s already becoming evident which candidates are standing out & who may be falling behind. On the Rundown, Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (R-IA) discusses the first impressions candidates have been making on her constituents & what qualities Iowans want in a President. She also discusses how the Chinese Communist Party is targeting America’s food security as they attempt to steal seeds & agricultural technology in her state and why she believes ‘Bidenomics’ is a “complete & total sham” as she continues seeing families’ struggle.   Engaging in prostitution will soon no longer be a crime in Maine, becoming the first state to partially decriminalize it with one major caveat: it will still be illegal to buy sex. Now in New York, state lawmakers are also weighing a bill that would go even further with full decriminalization, but it has reignited debate over whether this is a step in the right direction. New York Republican State Senator Anthony Palombo and Vice President of the National Center of Sexual Exploitation Eleanor Gaetan join the podcast to explain what action the government should be taking and why full decriminalization could do more harm than good for sex trafficking victims.   Plus, commentary by columnist David Marcus.

The push for electric cars, and even wind and solar energy requires critical minerals like Lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese and graphite. Rare earth elements are essential for both common items we already on, but for technology we may be reliant on in the future.  America has access to some of these key resources, but China continues to dominate the critical mineral market. After serving as the Governor of Texas, Rick Perry served as the Energy Secretary during the Trump administration.  Sec. Perry joined host Jessica Rosenthal recently on the FOX News Rundown: From Washington podcast to discuss the importance of these minerals and the need for American to be the leader in the market. He also discussed not just the need for more mining in America, but why becoming energy independent is critical to the country's success and security. Due to time limitations, we could not include our entire conversations in the FOX News Rundown: From Washington segment that ran last week. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear the complete interview with former Texas Governor and former Energy Secretary Rick Perry about why certain minerals are so critical to our country and why America must stand up to China's attempt to control them.

President Biden turns 81 this November and many pundits are raising concerns over his age and ability to govern. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson have already thrown their names in the ring as potential contenders against the sitting President, with many Democrat insiders passing around California Governor Gavin Newsom as a viable alternative. Co-Host of The Five, and Democratic Strategist Jessica Tarlov joins to discuss the possibilities she sees for a legitimate contender to rise up against President Biden, how having former President Trump as the Republican nominee would impact the 2024 Election, and why she believes it is fair for voters to question the President's abilities given his age.   While Congress continues its August recess, the Senate will have a significant hurdle to jump once they return in September when approving hundreds of military promotions. One senator has been the gatekeeper in holding up the Senate approvals, Alabama Republican Tommy Tuberville. Senator Tuberville has vehemently denied any promotions due to his opposition to a Pentagon policy of paying for a military service member's travel to get an abortion, which he believes is in direct violation of the Hyde Amendment. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins as he lays out the procedure of approving the military appointees, how the Senate may find a workaround to get the service members approved, and weighs in on why Senator Tuberville is choosing this issue to make a political stand.

Americans' confidence in the military is at its lowest level in over two decades.  Military recruitment has been suffering as well, with the Army, Air Force, and Navy each expecting to fall short of their recruitment goals this year. These troubling trends come at a time of growing tensions with China grow, as well as increased instability in multiple regions around the world.  Earlier this week, FOX News Correspondent Alex Hogan spoke with Florida Republican Congressman Michael Waltz on the FOX News Rundown about both the recruitment problem and why he says Americans are losing trust in the U.S. military.

This weekend, Republican presidential candidates made their way to the Hawkeye State for the annual Iowa State Fair. Although many candidates seized the opportunity to sit down with Governor Kim Reynolds for a 'Fairside Chat' to share their platform with voters, former President Trump declined a sit down with her.

The judge presiding over the special counsel’s case against former President Trump has a big decision looming—whether or not a protective order will be issued in this case, which will determine what evidence can be publicly shared. Special counsel Jack Smith’s prosecutorial team requested this, arguing that ‘the case must be tried in a courtroom, not in the media.’ Trump and his legal team, on the other hand, argue that this is ‘an assault on his First Amendment rights’ and would silence the former President on the 2024 campaign trail. On the Rundown, FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream explains the dispute about a potential protective order that would stop former President Trump from publicly sharing evidence, the unprecedented circumstances of the case, and why state battles over abortion rights have only just begun. Shoplifting videos have recently been going viral, displaying groups of thieves storming stores or boldfaced shoppers stealing expensive items in broad daylight. In the era of social media, it seems like shoplifting has become somewhat of a trend, leaving stores in major cities across America hurting. Despite many locking up merchandise or putting sensors on items, the problem remains one of increasing importance. So why has retail theft become so prominent in the U.S., and what can retailers do to stop it?

The House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer released a memo detailing evidence of the Biden family’s foreign business dealings, including redacted bank records which the GOP claims will reveal millions of dollars in payment to Hunter Biden from Russian and Kazakhstani oligarchs. House Oversight says they believe they can tie the folks contributing millions to Hunter’s businesses abroad to President Biden himself. Congressman Pat Fallon (R-TX) argues there is a concerning pattern with Hunter Biden’s business dealings and says he believes eventually the evidence will uncover a massive political scandal. On the Rundown, Rep. Fallon explains what Hunter Biden’s bank documents reveal, the Democrats’ response to them, and the continued search for a smoking gun in this investigation. Earlier this week, voters in an Ohio special election rejected a measure that would have made it more difficult to change the state's constitution. The current system required a simple majority to make amendments; however, the defeated GOP-backed measure had proposed raising the threshold to a 60 percent supermajority. Many pundits and pro-choice activists warned that if passed, this would severely curtail Ohioans' ability to pass the abortion rights amendment scheduled for a state ballot initiative in November. While the vote is still months away, this sets the stage for Ohio voters to codify abortion rights. On the podcast, Kyle Kondik, Managing Editor at Sabato’s Crystal Ball, breaks down why this special election was indirectly a vote on abortion rights, why this Republican-backed measure was defeated, and how this will affect Ohioans on the November ballot.

Border crossings slowed down this past spring after the United States prepared for a surge following the end of Title 42. However, the numbers are on the rise again this summer, climbing nearly 30% in July. Texas Governor Gregg Abbott (R-TX) has taken matters into his own hands by installing a floating border made up of buoys and razor wire along the Rio Grande in an effort to stop migrants from wading through the water. The Justice Department is suing Texas over this citing that it violates the Rivers and Harbors Appropriation Act of 1899. FOX News National Correspondent, Bill Melugin, takes the Rundown to the southern border to discuss cartel members caught on camera entering the U.S. and why migrant numbers are rising again, even in the excessive heat. Americans' confidence in the military is at its lowest level in over two decades. Military recruitment has been suffering as well, with the Army, Air Force, and Navy each expecting to fall short of their recruitment goals. The Afghanistan withdrawal that saw 13 U.S. service members lose their lives was an event that shook public faith in the military, and this week Congressman Darrell Issa held a congressional forum with the Gold Star families who lost loved ones in this chaotic withdrawal, where they demanded accountability from the Biden administration. Florida Congressman Michael Walz is a retired Green Beret colonel of the U.S. Special Forces, and he joins the Rundown to explain how the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal has hurt confidence in the military, why military recruitment has hit a record low in the U.S., and how America should work to combat Russian and Chinese aggression.

In poll after poll, the majority of voters say they do not want a Biden-Trump rematch in 2024; however, the beginning stages of the campaign suggest that is what Americans may be in for. Despite the deep bench of qualified Republicans, former President Trump continues to command the GOP primary race and mainstream news cycle with his latest indictment. Meanwhile, President Biden has continued touring the U.S., touting his economic accomplishments that the White House has branded ‘Bidenomics.’ Co-director of the Fox News Poll and professor at the University of Texas at Austin, Daron Shaw, joins the Rundown to explain what lanes exist for GOP primary candidates as the former President maintains strong support, how the Hunter Biden situation could threaten President Biden’s favorability advantage in the election, and how social issues are throwing a wrench in 2024 campaigns. Following the pandemic and the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Americans have been feeling pain at the pump, with gas prices reaching record highs. However, there are new factors contributing to the ever-frequent price hikes, like the summer's extreme heat waves, which caused refinery breakdowns and equipment failures. On the Rundown, Phil Flynn, an oil trader and FOX Business Network contributor, discusses why the Biden administration's release of barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve was only a short-term solution, why electric vehicles aren't a realistic option for working-class Americans, and shares why people think the rise in prices is unexpected due to the Department of Energy underreporting oil demand for the past six months.

Here is the blurb that will be posted with the FOX News Rundown podcast for AUGUST 7, 2023: The Biden family continues living in the headlines, as new developments regarding Hunter Biden’s business dealings and the unveiling of the President’s new economic philosophy, “Bidenomics,” continue being top news across the country. Though President Biden is aiming to keep Americans focused on his economic vision, many are unable to forget the record inflation, high interest rates, and unsteady housing market they’ve faced for months on end. Additionally, a new testimony from Devon Archer, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, before the House Oversight Committee has revealed evidence suggesting that President Biden was aware of and potentially involved in multiple foreign business deals his son Hunter was making. On the Rundown, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) shares why he believes “Bidenomics” is failing as it isn’t “resonating with mainstream America,” how Devon Archer’s testimony further reveals ‘corruption’ within the Biden family and his reaction to a new CNN poll that reveals the majority of Americans trust House Republicans to tackle major issues over the President. People calling 9-1-1 for urgent help are seeing massive delays in actual assistance. A new survey released by the National Emergency Number Association shows that over 80 percent of America’s dispatching centers are understaffed. This is causing record levels of employee burnout and churn, as staff feel unprepared to deal with certain high-stress situations. Nearly all of the call centers in the country provide mental health services to their employees; however, respondents are not taking advantage of the resources made available to them. CEO of the National Emergency Number Association, Biran Fontes, joins the Rundown to talk about why many respondents struggle to handle the stress of the job, how better technology could improve job performance, and the association’s efforts to work with the U.S. Labor Department to provide better resources to dispatchers.

The Hunter Biden drama continues for the White House and the Biden 2024 campaign. The president's son pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor tax evasion charges last week.  Then, days later, Biden's former business associate, Devon Archer, testified behind closed doors in front of the House Oversight Committee.  Archer told them Hunter would routinely put his father on the phone to introduce him to foreign business partners and prospective investors. While Archer claimed Hunter was there to promote the 'Biden Brand', he also said the then-Vice President never discussed business on those phone calls.  House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) attended the testimony and spoke to the FOX News Rundown's Dave Anthony about what he heard, and why he has serious problems with how the DOJ has been handling the Hunter Biden investigation.  Rep. Jordan explained why he's troubled by Joe Biden's actions and what it would it take to move forward with impeachment. The Ohio Congress also discussed how tech companies and the government not only censored information related to Hunter Biden, but also tried to silence conservatives during the pandemic who spoke out about COVID policies and theories that differed from health officials.  Due to time limitations, we could not include our entire conversations in the FOX News Rundown segment that ran this week.

The clock is ticking on a September 30th deadline for Congress to finish the appropriations process and fund the government. The House began its August recess with only passing one of 12 appropriations bills. They will only have a few weeks to fund the government after they return on September 12th. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins to explain how Congress is divided on these bills, and why there is a good chance that a government shutdown may be inevitable. Chad also touches upon the testimony of Hunter Biden business associate Devon Archer, and how House Republicans may use the power of the purse to cut funding to the Department of Justice. In an effort to expand mental health care options, last month the Biden administration enacted changes to the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. The moves include advancing access to services in Medicare, expanding the 9-8-8 suicide hotline, and adding additional mental health services in school. The White House hopes their actions will allow patients to receive specialized care without paperwork barriers and make sure there are enough insurance providers willing to pay for care. Deputy Director of the Domestic Policy Council for Health and Veterans, Christen Linke Young, joins to explain why mental health care access is essential to the overall health of the nation and would greatly benefit underserved communities.

Former President Donald Trump entered a Washington, D.C. federal court this Thursday and pleaded not guilty to four criminal charges related to January 6th and his attempt to overthrow the 2020 presidential election. Trump called it, 'a sad day for America.' A major presidential candidate has never before faced so many legal troubles. But despite being arraigned three times in the last four months, and another indictment from Georgia likely coming, Trump remains the clear GOP frontrunner in the 2024 presidential race. But the question remains if Trump can maintain his lead in the polls as he navigates court dates and could even potentially go to jail before election day. Former White House Press Secretary and FOX News Contributor Ari Fleischer joined the Rundown's Dave Anthony earlier this week to discuss former President Trump's legal problems and what he called 'uncharted territory" for America. Fleischer explained how these cases will impact the 2024 election, why the charges are only fueling Trump's supporters, and why the uncertainty of what could happen in the coming months puts our democracy in a 'perilous place'.

He later explains that if the U.S. were to completely remove fossil fuels from by 2030, it would not only be devastating to the American economy, but also countries around the world.

Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden's youngest son, has been subject to a federal investigation since 2018 for his foreign business practices. After pleading not guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges last month, Devon Archer, Biden's former business partner, told congressional investigators that Hunter would tout the Biden 'brand’ and often have then-Vice President Biden speak on business phone calls. However, Archer's testimony contradicts that of the White House, which claims the President was never involved in any of his son's business deals. On the Rundown, FOX News Sunday Anchor, Shannon Bream, talks about how Hunter Biden was able to sell his family's name and status, what former President Trump's third indictment means for the 2024 election, and why many Americans are losing confidence in President Biden.

Experts are saying the latest criminal counts are the most severe yet. Juggling several different criminal cases is a difficult task, especially for someone campaigning for a second term in the White House.

Ever since the death of George Floyd in May of 2020, policing has been in the spotlight, and there have been calls for the profession to change its practices and policies. But Republicans and Democrats remain far apart on police reform, with conservatives pushing for more police funding while Democrats have advocated for increased officer accountability.

Last year, police departments across the country reported officers resigning in unprecedented numbers, creating widespread vacancies and recruitment issues that spiraled into a major public safety concern.

House Republicans are now floating the idea of impeaching President Joe Biden over unproven claims of financial misconduct.

President Joe Biden's youngest son, Hunter Biden, is expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of tax evasion on Wednesday in Wilmington, Delaware. Hunter Biden has been the subject of a federal investigation since 2018 for his foreign business practices, and Republican lawmakers argue that the Department of Justice has given the president's son special treatment during the investigation. One example they point to is the fact that Hunter Biden has already reached a pretrial agreement for a felony gun charge for possessing a firearm while addicted to drugs. On the Rundown, Andrew McCarthy, FOX News Contributor and former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, explains why Hunter Biden wasn't charged with a felony, shares why he thinks the President's son received preferential treatment, and compares the investigation to the Hillary Clinton email scandal.   Artificial intelligence has grown increasingly popular as Americans incorporate programs like ChatGPT and facial recognition into their everyday lives. AI uses are countless, and law enforcement is using the tool as well. Police are finding new ways to utilize artificial intelligence and facial recognition for "predictive policing," which uses AI to analyze crime patterns, police body camera footage, and surveillance footage to predict and solve crimes. Though many are optimistic this could be helpful, some Americans are worried it could lead to privacy concerns or wrongful arrests. On the Rundown, Heritage Foundation Tech Policy research associate Jake Denton joins to discuss why "oversight and transparency" are key to assuring AI is used responsibly, the science behind how the technology could catch criminals, and the potential shortfalls that could come with relying on it too heavily in an investigation.     Plus, commentary from host of OutKick’s Tomi Lahren is Fearless, Tomi Lahren.

For more than a decade, the country has been intrigued by the mysterious and brutal murders known as the Gilgo Beach serial killings.  Intrigue turned to shock and relief earlier this month, when the authorities announced the arrest of a suspect. The story begins back in 2010 when human remains were found on Gilgo beach, Long Island New York. Law enforcement found the remains of Melissa Barthelemy, and then Amber Lynn Costello, Megan Waterman and Maureen Brainard-Barnes... all of them women in their 20s working as escorts.  Six other bodies were also found, but the investigation ran dry for years.  Until now.  59-year-old Rex Heuermann is now in custody linked to 3 of those killings.  One big break came when law enforcement matched his DNA from a leftover pizza crust he tossed out to a hair found on a victim.  Heuermann says he's innocent.

On the Rundown, Congressman Mike Johnson (R-LA) joins to discuss his frustration with Wray’s denial despite “explosive” evidence of bias, why he believes “institutional rot” is at the core of the FBI’s alleged wrongdoing, and how he and fellow House Republicans plan to address this issue moving forward.

Due to pandemic-related staff shortages, airlines say they are struggling to provide enough crew to get their planes off the ground in a timely manner, if at all. Critics have highlighted that the issue stems from structural failures within the Federal Aviation Administration, with many pointing their fingers at the man in charge, Transportation Secretary Buttigieg.

Defense spending and support for Ukraine were the major topics of discussion for NATO leaders. Member nations refused to admit Ukraine into the alliance now that they remain at war with Russia; however, Moscow's invasion has forced NATO to get more serious about making sure each country is spending 2 percent of its GDP on military defense. At the summit, President Biden reassured Americans that America and its Western allies will continue to support Ukraine's military, but a few U.S. lawmakers are concerned about exactly how long that may take, questioning the established bipartisan support for Ukraine in the form of funding and weapons. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) joins to explain why he is hesitant to support Ukraine with American tax dollars and where he believes that money could be better spent. Later, Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) joins to explain why security in Europe is important for the United States and what the administration could be doing to end the war faster. Last month, U.S. inflation eased to the slowest pace in more than two years. The Consumer Price Index climbed to a mere 3% in June, significantly lower than the 9.1% peak the country witnessed this time last year.

Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker joins the Rundown to explain what the FBI needs to do to prove such biases don't exist and his belief that there must be greater separation between the FBI and the Justice Department. At the NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania this week, President Biden and other NATO members came to an agreement to allow Sweden to join the alliance, yet members concurred that adding Ukraine remains out of reach while the war with Russia persists.

Democrats are gearing up for the 2024 elections, hoping they can use some recent legal losses at the Supreme Court to fire up their base and target Republicans in vulnerable seats. Last month, the High Court voted to strike down both affirmative action in college admissions and President Biden's student loan debt relief plan. Last year, the party was able to successfully use the overturning of Roe vs. Wade to rally voters and prevent a 'red wave' in the midterms. Democrats are hoping the latest Supreme Court decisions will have the same effect in 2024. Co-Director of the FOX News Poll and Professor at the University of Texas Austin Daron Shaw discusses the Democrats' strategy ahead of the next election cycle.   Last month, members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee visited Moore County, North Carolina during a field hearing on enhancing America's grid security.

America's Crime Crisis: Republicans and Democrats remain far apart on police reform, with conservatives pushing for more police funding while Democrats have advocated for increased officer accountability. Last year, police departments across the country reported officers resigning in unprecedented numbers, creating widespread vacancies and recruitment issues that spiraled into a major public safety concern.

It’s been a busy week in Washington, D.C., with the Supreme Court announcing some of the most highly anticipated rulings of the year. The Court’s decision to block President Biden’s $400 billion student loan forgiveness plan and end affirmative action in college admissions received mixed feedback across the country — as many Democrats voiced their disapproval of the decisions, while the GOP has shown support of the Court. Also in the headlines is new information on the Hunter Biden case. As IRS whistleblowers make further allegations of politicization and misconduct by the DOJ, many Republicans are calling for a freeze on the younger Biden’s plea deal until these claims are investigated. On the Rundown, California Congressman Darrell Issa joins to explain why he supports the Supreme Court’s decisions and how their ruling reflects where “liberal California has been for two decades.” He also discusses his thoughts on the Hunter Biden investigation and how he believes the U.S. government must change to restore Americans’ faith in the government and the country as a whole. America’s Crime Crisis: When crime goes viral, law enforcement across the country has reported difficulties keeping it under control. TikTok has sparked some interesting trends over the years, from viral dances to whipped coffee, but now teens are filming themselves committing crimes like in “The Kia Challenge,” where some are posting tutorials on how to steal a car. The platform claims that it does not promote such content, but thousands of videos surfaced of people participating in “rob mobs,” car theft, and other criminal activities where the perpetrators appeared unafraid of the consequences. Former FBI Special Agent John Iannarelli and Professor of Criminal Justice at the University of Central Florida Raymond Suarez joins the Rundown to discuss the ways law enforcement tries to prevent such crimes, why teens do not fear the consequences associated with crime, and why users don’t understand how their actions online can land them into trouble.

There's strong consensus among political and military officials that China is the most comprehensive threat facing the United States today.  The two nations' relationship has been deteriorating for many years, and tensions only escalated after a Chinese spy balloon was spotted flying across the U.S. earlier this year.  During his trip to Beijing last month, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Chinese representatives agreed to stabilize the ties between both countries and maintain better communication.  Retired Four-Star General, Chairman of the Institute for the Study of War, and FOX News Senior Strategic Analyst General Jack Keane recently joined host Dave Anthony to explain how China continues to try and become the dominant world power, and the tactics they're using to undermine us. Gen. Keane also discussed the likelihood China would go to war with Taiwan in the near future, how the U.S. could respond, and the national security implications of China's presence in the Indo-Pacific.

As President Biden makes the case for his re-election, one major hurdle he faces is easing voters' concerns about the economy. During a speech on Wednesday, the president touted "Bidenomics" by pointing to various projects and investments in an attempt to convince Americans that his policies are working. A FOX News Poll this week reflected the nation's skepticism, finding that 60% of Americans disapprove of President Biden's handling of the economy. Chairman and CEO of UBS Americas and Founder of 32 Advisors Robert Wolf describes how President Biden's economic messaging is resonating with voters and what challenges the administration faces. Later, he explains what more the president must do in order to execute his economic legislative wins. As the Supreme Court leaves the bench for its summer recess, major rulings have caused yet again another uproar amongst American citizens after reversing affirmative action which put an end to race-conscious college admissions. Additionally, the Justices ruled 6-3 in favor of a Christian web designer who refused to design same-sex wedding websites as well as striking down the Biden Administration's student loan forgiveness plan. Vice President of Domestic Policy and The Joseph C. and Elizabeth A.

On Friday morning, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to overturn the Biden administration's student loan debt forgiveness program, with the majority explaining that the HEROES Act did not give President Biden the authority to cancel student debt for millions of Americans.

Alan Collinge borrowed $30,000 to get his PhD in aerospace engineering and later found himself owing upwards of $100,000. Now author and founder of StudentLoanJustice.org, Allan joins the podcast to discuss his reaction to the decision, why he doubted the Biden administration was serious about this forgiveness program, and possible solutions to help borrowers with high, outstanding debt.

The Supreme Court has ruled to overturn affirmative action in college admissions, ending universities' decades-old ability to make race a deciding factor in the admissions process. Six justices voted against such programs, calling them a violation of the Equal Protection Clause in the Constitution. Conservatives have celebrated this court decision as a major victory as Democrats criticize the result, with President Biden calling the decision a "severe disappointment." FOX News Sunday Host Shannon Bream joins the Rundown live from Capitol Hill to discuss what factors led the court to make this ruling, how colleges could potentially try to circumvent the affirmative action decision, and the impact this may have on diversity in America's higher education system.

When TikTok's CEO Shou Zi Chew testified before Congress, he assured lawmakers with national security concerns that "American data is stored on American soil" and not in China. Recently, news broke revealing that some creators' personal and financial data was indeed being stored on servers in China, where the Chinese Communist Party could access it. Now, senators and representatives on Capitol Hill remain skeptical of the national security risks posed by TikTok and are weighing whether its CEO committed perjury in his hearing testimony. Eben Brown speaks to Fox Business' Grady Trimble about the contradictions in Chew's testimony, whether the company is being completely forthcoming about how they manage user data, and the feasibility of a national TikTok ban.

Earlier this week travelers were left scrambling in airports across the country as weather delays and staff shortages left many unable to make it to their destinations. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg says to expect major delays during the holiday weekend as it is projected to be the busiest day for air travel since the start of the pandemic. Michael Boyd, President & CEO of Boyd Group International Group, joins the Rundown to discuss why airlines are continuing to face major meltdowns, the technical impacts that 5G cell towers will have on airplanes, and why the government continues to ignore concerns presented by airlines and the Federal Aviation Administration. President Biden has been touting his economic accomplishments on the road, saying, "Made in America is not a slogan. It's actually happening." This is a policy priority that President Biden and former President Trump actually agree on, but they do disagree on who has had more success bringing key factories and products like semiconductor chips back to the United States. Right now, the nation's main manufacturing competitor is China--a country with whom the U.S. has had tense relations recently. Former President Trump's U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer joins the Rundown to explain how allowing China to heavily profit from U.S. business is weakening America, why we must 'strategically decouple' from China carefully to avoid negative impacts on the economy, and the reasons he's a strong supporter of the CHIPS and Science Act.

Internal Revenue Service whistleblower Gary Shapley has alleged that Hunter Biden received special treatment that allowed the investigation into his finances to be placed "on the back burner" as the 2020 election grew closer. In his recently released interview with Special Report's Bret Baier, Shapley claimed that Trump-appointed U.S. attorney David Weiss told him that he was not truly in charge of the investigation--this conflicts with what U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has repeatedly stated for months. Fox News Justice Correspondent David Spunt joins the podcast to explain the whistleblower's allegations about political influence on Hunter's case, AG Merrick Garland's steadfast assertions on the matter, and what House Republicans are likely to do with these new claims from whistleblowers.

President Joe Biden set out to tout his economic accomplishments on Wednesday in Chicago, dubbing his plan "Bidenomics." He explains that the strategy will focus on expanding the middle class by growing the economy from the middle out and bottom up in an effort to shift away from trickle-down economics. The administration claims that 13 million jobs have been created since the start of his term; however, the unemployment rate reached a high of 3.7 percent—the highest unemployment numbers since the start of the pandemic. Larry Kudlow, host of ‘Kudlow’ on FOX Business, joins the podcast to share why Biden's approach may not help him in the 2024 election as his approval rating decreases and explains what Republican candidates need to do to gain economic leverage as many voters are still feeling the squeeze of inflation.

Russia saw an attempted mutiny over the weekend when Wagner Group mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin marched an armed convoy on Moscow and seized control of the city of Rostov. The mercenary chief halted his advance, and a truce deal was formed. However, many in the U.S. are now speculating if this defiance of Putin suggests his power is weakening in Russia. As these hostilities unfold abroad, 2024 candidates are being questioned about how they would handle difficult foreign policy situations on the national stage. Former Congressman Will Hurd (R-TX) just recently announced his candidacy for president, and he joins the Rundown to discuss why this mutiny should be a catalyst for America reconsidering our Russian foreign policy strategy, his critiques of President Biden, and why education should be a major concern for parents in this country. Officials say that China is the most comprehensive threat facing the United States today. Although the two nations' relationship has been deteriorating for many years, it has recently been escalated by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan in August 2022 and the Chinese spy balloon that flew across the U.S. earlier this year. During his trip to Beijing last week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Chinese representatives agreed to stabilize the ties between both countries and maintain better communication. Retired 4-star general, Chairman of the Institute for the Study of War, and FOX News Senior Strategic Analyst General Jack Keane joins to showcase how China continues to try and become the dominant world power, how the country would be affected if China went to war with Taiwan, and the national security implications of China's presence in the Indo-Pacific.

President Vladimir Putin has condemned an apparent uprising by Russia's brutal military force, the Wagner Group, calling it an act of treason but also saying the rebellion would have been easily stopped. The military group's leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin and his men, took control of a major southern city in Russia before agreeing to a deal that has apparently sent him to neighboring Belarus and his troops a pass on criminal charges. So, was this just a two day dispute or is there much more to it? FOX's Alex Hogan speaks with Rebekah Koffler, president of ‘Doctrine & Strategy Consulting’, former DIA intelligence officer, and author of ‘Putin’s Playbook: Russia’s Secret Plan to Defeat America’, who says you cannot believe what either Putin or the paramilitary leader Prigozhin has to say about the mutiny.

Two IRS whistleblowers claim that D.C. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland both played a role in actively hampering an investigation into Hunter Biden, according to testimonies released by the House Ways and Means Committee last week. They allege that U.S. Attorney David Weiss attempted to bring charges against Hunter Biden in both Washington, D.C. and California but was denied by Justice Department officials. Though Garland has since come forward denying any allegations of political interference, House Republicans continue to investigate these claims -- with some, such as Texas Senator Ted Cruz, believing this could be grounds to impeach President Biden. On the Rundown, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) discusses the key takeaways from the whistleblowers' claims and why allegations like these continue to hinder many Americans' faith in the justice system. He also shares his thoughts on House Republicans' continued investigation into COVID origins. Political divisions in the United States continue to grow, as Democrats and Republicans in Congress experience increased tensions and Americans of differing political parties report having major difficulties engaging in civil discourse with each other. But a recent poll says that 67 percent of Americans say they are sick and tired of the division.

Higher education in the United States is notoriously expensive, prompting many to take out student loans and accumulate thousands of dollars of debt. The Biden Administration introduced its student debt relief plan last summer, aiming to forgive up to $20,000 in debt for those who qualified. Louisana Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) reintroduced the College Transparency Act in April to provide accurate reporting on student outcomes such as enrollment, completion, and post-college earnings so students can make informed decisions about higher education. Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) explains why he feels so strongly about the bill, why he disagrees with President Biden's Student loan repayment agenda, and touches upon why manufacturing jobs are leaving the United States for China.   The Supreme Court has several more opinions to release before the current term ends. The remaining rulings can impact student loan repayment, change Congressional districts in several states, and determine whether or not businesses are allowed to refuse service due to their religious beliefs. The court ruled this week that encouraging illegal immigration is not covered under free speech rights and that states do not have the right to sue the Biden administration regarding their immigration enforcement guidelines. FOX News Sunday Anchor, Shannon Bream explains the implications the two rulings have for the future of immigration, previews what could come from the Supreme Court's ruling on student loan forgiveness, and reflects upon the one-year anniversary of the overturning of Roe V. Wade. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich remains in a Russian prison after losing his appeal against the extension of his detention earlier this week. He will remain in prison ahead of his trial for espionage and is being held at the notorious Lefortovo Prison in Moscow where he now faces up to 20 years in jail.

After a five-year Justice Department investigation, Hunter Biden reached a plea agreement with federal prosecutors. On Tuesday, the President's son pleaded guilty to two tax violations, as well as a felony charge for illegal possession of a firearm as a drug user. The plea deal is expected to allow Hunter Biden to avoid any prison time for the charges, leading many critics to argue that he received preferential treatment from investigators. Former South Carolina Congressman and Federal Prosecutor Trey Gowdy explains the charges and punishment Hunter Biden faces and discusses the politicization of the Justice Department. Later, he explains how the Hunter Biden charges could impact the ongoing investigation into the Biden family business dealings. House members battled to impeach this week on the hill, as Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert (CO-03) took the stand to force a snap vote to impeach President Joe Biden, and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13) forced another vote to censure California Democrat Adam Schiff. Both of these votes present a challenge for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, as House rules allow for any member to hold these types of votes without the okay from respective parties. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram reports from Capitol Hill on the growing impatience from Republicans surrounding the capability of Democrats in power and explains how this could all affect the Halls of Congress.

For the past decade, legalizing marijuana has been a massive topic of debate, with lobbyists and advocates drilling down on the idea that state economies were actually missing out on massive tax revenue.

On Tuesday, it was announced President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, would plead guilty to federal tax offenses but would escape prosecution on a separate gun charge in an agreement with the Justice Department. He has been under investigation by the House Oversight Committee since 2018 for his family's foreign business practices, which House Republicans suspect to be international influence-peddling schemes. The deal with the DOJ will spare him a charge of illegally possessing a firearm as a drug user if he agrees to certain conditions. Law Professor at George Washington University, Jonathan Turley, joins the Rundown to break down why he may never face a true felony charge for these offenses, the accusations that this shows the nation is operating a two-tiered justice system, and touches upon former President Donald Trump's trial set for early August.   Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie announced his 2024 presidential candidacy two weeks ago in New Hampshire, making sure to take aim at the GOP primaries’ current frontrunner, former President Trump.

Last week, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez announced that he is running for president, officially joining the already crowded GOP field. Although he is considered a longshot according to recent polls, if elected he would not be the first former mayor to make it to the White House. However, he would be the first to make the jump directly from mayor to Commander in Chief. Mayor Suarez joins the Rundown to talk about why Floridians should vote for him over Governor Ron DeSantis, why a Hispanic Republican should be the one to fix the nation’s immigration system and his strategies as he works to make it to the debate stage in August. President Biden is ramping up re-election efforts, attending several campaign fundraisers during a three-day visit to California. Though it initially seemed he would be the Democratic Party’s obvious nominee choice in 2024, his two challengers, Marianne Williamson and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are gaining more traction than most Americans initially expected — specifically Kennedy, who’s touting double digits in many recent polls. Could this mean the Democrats are ready for new leadership, or will President Biden ultimately win his party’s support? Former Deputy National Press Secretary of the Democratic Party Jose Aristimuño joins the Rundown to explain why he’s confident the President will be the Democratic nominee, as there’s little to no chance the DNC will turn against the party’s incumbent. He also shares why he believes Governor Ron DeSantis would pose a bigger threat to Democrats than former President Trump in a 2024 face-off and how he thinks President Biden is sufficiently responding to worries about his age & capabilities if he were to serve a second term.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in China meeting with some of the country's key leaders this week amidst troubling tensions between the U.S. and China. Republicans have voiced differing opinions on the trip, with some saying it facilitates productive dialogue with China and others believing China should instead send someone to the U.S. if they want to pursue talks. The question also remains if Secretary Blinken will initiate conversations with other nations that China has been working closely with like Cuba, which has allegedly allowed China to establish spy bases in the country since 2019.

Senator Marco Rubio is very worried about America.  The Florida Republican fears our country has lost all common sense and can no longer solve problems. Something he feels our foes have been taking advantage of. In fact, he even says, "the 21st century will be the 'Chinese century' at our expense." Senator Rubio recently joined Jessica Rosenthal to discuss these concerns and how they inspired him to write his new book, "Decades of Decadence: How Our Spoiled Elites Blew America's Inheritance of Liberty, Security, and Prosperity." The Senator blamed misguided elitists and economic policies for sparking the decline of America's global dominance. He says another problem is that American lawmakers in both parties have for decades underestimated China's desire to overtake the U.S. as the world's dominant superpower.  Due to time limitations, we could not include the entire conversation in the FOX News Rundown segment that ran this week.

Following former President Trump's federal indictment in Florida, his fellow Republicans vying for the nomination now face a difficult balancing act of how to handle the political fallout. While some candidates in the race have echoed the former president's sentiments that this indictment is a weaponization of the Justice Department, other rival candidates have expressed that the allegations against former President Trump are very serious and reckless for U.S. national security.

America’s students struggled during the pandemic, as shown by school test scores dropping to record lows nationwide. However, U.S. schools had been struggling even before school closures. For example, in 2013, Mississippi was ranked as the second-worst state for low-income student reading scores.

As multiple reports have surfaced showing enlistment numbers growing stagnant, Army Secretary Christine Wormuth says it is unlikely that they will meet this year's projection of 65,000 new recruits.

Former President Donald Trump is in Florida to face his arraignment after he was federally indicted on 37 counts. The felonies he stands accused of involve removing highly classified documents from the White House following the end of his presidency and obstructing government efforts to retrieve them. It was just in March that the former president was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury for falsifying New York business records in order to conceal damaging information from voters during the 2016 election. George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley joins the podcast to break down the evidence in the case that could be potentially damaging for the Trump defense team. He explains what might happen if the former president is convicted and how this could become an issue in the 2024 election. Within the past week, reports surfaced that China was seeking to establish a new eavesdropping facility in Cuba. These reports were originally labeled inaccurate by the White House; however, over the weekend, additional reporting confirmed that this Chinese spy base in Cuba actually already existed and had been operating since 2019. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) joins the Rundown to discuss how the problematic relationship between China and Cuba is a top foreign policy concern and why the Biden administration must act to combat the national security threat.

The Biden administration is now admitting that China has been operating a spy base in Cuba since at least 2019.

Former President Donald Trump will appear in a Miami federal courtroom tomorrow as he faces 37 counts in a criminal indictment for 'risking national security' by possessing classified documents after leaving office. Many Americans are asking why Trump is facing these potential criminal consequences when similar documents have been found in the possession of President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, who were met with different responses from the government. For many Republicans, including New York Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis, it seems the American justice system's "double standard of justice" could be the culprit behind the Department of Justice's action. On the Rundown, Rep. Malliotakis discusses why she believes government agencies may be "being weaponized against political opponents," and why holding them accountable is crucial. She also discusses House Republicans' plans to continue cutting excess spending in Washington, and why the US should be cautious following news that China is working with Cuba on new spying operations. In 2022, Americans received 225 billion spam calls and texts, up 88 billion from the year prior.

Data security expert and the founder of Dark Box Security Systems, Andrew Sterneke, joins the podcast to discuss the warning signs people should watch out for when receiving suspicious messages, the evolution of scammers' ability to steal sensitive information, and why A.I. technology needs to be watched closely as it is becoming harder to detect fraudsters.

Massachusetts Congressman and Marine veteran Seth Moulton, like many in Washington, has concerns about artificial intelligence and sees a need for more regulation. But unlike those who are calling for pause on the technology, Moulton believes America needs to charge ahead on AI and find ways to use it on the battlefield.

Moulton joined Jessica Rosenthal to discuss the militarization of AI and why America cannot let countries like North Korea or Iran get ahead of us on this. He also discussed what sort of international norms regarding AI should be established and weighed in on the increase in military spending that was part of the debt ceiling deal recently signed by the President.

On Thursday night, former President Trump was federally indicted on seven charges in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents probe. The indictment comes at the same time as President Biden faces allegations of both bribery and corruption.

In 2 1/2 years, the parental rights group 'Moms For Liberty' has gained mass traction — from starting with two chapters in Florida to now having 300 across 45 states. Their rapid growth has garnered attention from many influential Republican presidential candidates, including former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Though, with this expansion comes an uptick in criticism from sources like the Southern Poverty Law Center, which recently included the parental rights organization in their annual "Year In Hate & Extremism" report, alleging the group to be an "anti-student inclusion movement." Moms For Liberty co-founder Tina Descovich says this couldn't be farther from the truth. Descovich joins the Rundown to discuss how her members consider themselves "joyful warriors" fighting for improved public education, not exclusion, and why she and fellow members believe there are "a number of reasons" why key Republican leaders could be vying to gain the organization's favor.   FOX News Sunday Anchor Shannon Bream is back this week discussing how a big decision out of the Supreme Court this week could have big implications for the 2024 election.

On Monday, House Oversight Chairman James Comer announced plans to move forward with holding FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress. The oversight committee has been investigating Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings since 2018 and subpoenaed the FBI for a copy of FD-1023, a document containing unverified tips and information regarding the case. The FBI claims they have already given Congress "extraordinary accommodation" on this intel; however, the House GOP says they refused to physically hand over the document. Host of the Jason in the House podcast, Jason Chaffetz joins the Rundown to discuss the need for this information to be made public, why he believes the Department of Justice won't investigate their own people, and the topics featured in his new book, "The Puppeteers." It was nearly a year ago that the Professional Golfers Association was grappling with a big problem: a Saudi-backed fund had created a new tour called LIV Golf that was offering big money to the top golfers to join their league. As some golfers accepted big money deals to leave and join LIV, many players stuck with the PGA and cited ethical concerns about Saudi Arabia’s human rights violations and ties to the 9/11 terror attacks. PGA Commissioner Jay Monahan was very vocal, saying PGA players should resist the money for moral reasons. This week, the PGA announced it would be merging with LIV Golf. New York Times best-selling author and sports writer Ian O’Connor has been following the LIV Golf saga from the beginning, and he joins the podcast to explain the PGA Commissioner’s hypocrisy in agreeing to this merger, the furious response from the PGA players who turned down million-dollar deals, and how he envisions Saudi Arabia expanding further into the world of sports.

Oklahoma Senator James Lankford (R-OK), the ranking member of the Border Management Subcommittee, joined Senator Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) in visiting Arizona's southern border last month to address policy gaps and identify lasting solutions to better secure the nation's southern border. The visit comes just weeks after Title 42, the pandemic-era policy allowing the United States to expel migrants on the basis of public health concerns, ended.

After weeks of debate between House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Joe Biden, the two leaders have reached a consensus on the debt ceiling deal — with the President officially signing it into law over the weekend. The deal left both Democrats and Republicans feeling a mix of emotions, but outside of Washington, many are asking if it will serve the American people. Though every leader on Capitol Hill may respond differently, South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace believes the answer is no. Rep. Mace joins the Rundown to explain why she believes “Republicans got nothing” in the debt ceiling deal and how it may cause higher inflation and continued excess spending out of the White House.

Lisa Brady also spoke with public health expert and Johns Hopkins University Professor Dr. Marty Makary about Dr. Redfield's warning, the current avian flu killing millions of birds, and how public health officials must rebuild the public's damaged trust after COVID-19. Due to time limitations, we could not include the entire conversations with both Dr. Redfield and Dr. Makary in the FOX News Rundown segment that ran this week. Today's FOX News Rundown Extra includes our unedited interviews with both health experts, and you'll hear everything they had to say about the bird flu outbreak, the risks posed by gain-of-function, and the world's lack of preparedness.

In a bipartisan 63-36 vote, the Senate passed a debt limit package, bringing an end to the ongoing stalemate on negotiations. The compromised legislation contains concessions from both parties, suspending the debt limit into 2025 while also setting new caps on discretionary spending. The deal comes just days before the country was expected to default on its debt, which some experts say would've yielded catastrophic economic consequences. FOX Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram explains the contents of the bill, the threats to Speaker McCarthy's leadership, and what the bipartisan compromise means for the divided government.   House members Veronica Escobar (D-TX) and Maria Salazar (R-FL) are spearheading a new bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill this year titled the Dignity Act, with the odds against them because despite many attempts, this kind of reform has fallen short over the past several decades. FOX News Correspondent Griff Jenkins weighs in on the probability that this bill could pass both the House and the Senate.   Learn more about your ad choices.

After several automakers announced plans to remove AM radios from electric cars moving forward, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) sprung into action to introduce legislation to save consumers' ability to tune into AM stations. Working alongside Senator Ed Markey (D-MA), Senator Cruz created the "AM for Every Vehicle Act," which has gained popular bipartisan support in Congress. Senator Cruz joins the podcast to share how AM radio remains an important tool for communicating during emergencies and his suspicion that the push to end AM radio was targeting conservative voices. Later, he explains how Democrats' excessive spending led to the national debt growing out of control and gives his thoughts on the 2024 election thus far.  Amid a week of debt ceiling debate in Washington, more Republican candidates like former Vice President Pence, former Governor Chris Christie, and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum have teased they will soon be entering the GOP primary race.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis kicked off his 2024 presidential campaign on Tuesday with his first public appearance in Iowa, hoping to persuade Republicans to favor him over former President Trump. The field is expected to grow bigger, as reports suggest both former Vice President Pence and former Governor Chris Christie will enter the primary race as early as next week. On the Democratic side, a recent poll found President Biden’s support lacking, with his primary challengers, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson, polling at 16 percent and 8 percent, respectively. National Political Correspondent for POLITICO, Meridith McGraw, joins the Rundown to talk about why the Republican party has shifted away from its initial support for DeSantis and what the Democratic challengers poll numbers tell us about President Biden's weaknesses heading into 2024. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the world is currently experiencing its worst outbreak of H5N1, commonly known as bird flu, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 58 million birds. After going through the COVID-19 pandemic, health officials have expressed confidence that the country could manage this virus if it began to spread from person to person. However, some scientists believe this avian influenza has the potential to become the world’s most deadly pandemic. Former CDC Director, Dr. Robert Redfield, joins the Rundown to discuss why the deadly potential of the bird flu further emphasizes the dangers posed by gain-of-function research and what the United States must be doing now to prepare for the world’s next pandemic.

The launch was quickly condemned by the United States and Japan but North Korea says they plan on attempting another launch very soon.

Affirmative action at universities and colleges across the country could be coming to an end in June if the imminent Supreme Court decision is ruled in favor of the Students for Fair Admissions group. Oral arguments were heard in October for these cases, taken up against both Harvard and the University of North Carolina, arguing that affirmative action’s race-based admissions process discriminates against Asian Americans and white applicants. Meanwhile, many recent polls show the majority of Americans think admissions should not consider race when accepting applicants to their schools. Fox News Contributor and Law Professor at George Washington University Jonathan Turley joins the Rundown to discuss the arguments in the case, the constitutionality of affirmative action, and the impact it could have on the future of race-based admissions in America. New home sales rose for the second straight month in April, marking the most robust sales pace since March 2022, hinting that the housing market is beginning to stabilize. The U.S. median home price fell to $420,800, marking the most significant decline in the last three years. Although more people are purchasing new homes and prices are starting to fall, the housing market is still grappling with one major issue: a lack of inventory. FOX Business’ Gerri Willis joins the podcast to break down what contributed to the increase in new home sales, how sellers should go about taking advantage of the current market, and what new regions of the country buyers are being drawn to.

Despite being eight months away from the presidential primaries, campaign ads started airing months ago. These various TV spots are not always funded by candidates but instead by dark money. Fox Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram explained that dark money is simply funds spent on political speech for which you don't know who the donors are. He joins the Rundown to explain the impact that dark money has in our politics as it is unregulated by the Federal Election Commission, how major past Supreme Court decisions paved the way for this kind of campaign spending to become popular in politics, and how some politicians use dark money to circumvent campaign rules while some lawmakers are working to create legislative safeguards that would curb the power of dark money. By 2030, President Joe Biden aims to make fifty percent of all new vehicle sales electric. However, many car manufacturers recently announced they are looking to remove AM radio capability from future electric models. After bipartisan backlash citing the importance of AM radio to America's emergency infrastructure, Ford and Lincoln have decided they will not move forward with this plan and will continue to preserve AM radio functionality. The higher-end car manufacturers say that this is just another update to dashboards, yet many are hesitant to phase out the technology. Publisher of TALKERS Magazine, Michael Harrison, joins the Rundown for a conversation about why the AM frequency is necessary to reach rural parts of the country, his belief that the car manufacturers did not fully think through what is lost if AM radio goes away, and why he thinks AM radio won't fade away any time soon.  Plus, commentary by former Trump economic adviser and economist at the Heritage Foundation, Steve Moore.

After months of anticipation, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis officially announced his 2024 presidential campaign from Miami, Florida this past week.  The popular Republican governor is clearly the biggest threat to former President Trump, who has a big lead in the primary polls. But like in 2016, having a viable opponent could actually prove to be a benefit to Trump. Shortly after Gov. DeSantis used Twitter to jump in to the race, host Lisa Brady spoke with Daron Shaw, Co-Director of the Fox News Poll and professor at The University of Texas at Austin, about the DeSantis impact on the GOP field, his campaign strategy so far, and how he or anyone can overcome Trump's commanding lead in the polls.  Shaw discussed how he expected the other Republican candidates to respond to Gov. DeSantis and his 'glitchy' entrance in to the race. He also explained why it was more likely the Gov. DeSantis, not Trump, would be the main target of the Republicans vying to be the nominee. Due to time limitations, we could not include the entire conversation in the FOX News Rundown segment that ran this week.

Governor Ron DeSantis made a big splash this week when he officially jumped in to the 2024 Presidential race. However, he may not be the only Florida Republican who wants to make a bid for the White House. Miami mayor Francis Suarez joined host Dave Anthony this week to discuss why he too is considering a run for the presidency and why he thinks he'd be a better pick than anyone in the field including the popular governor of his state.  In fact, the Republican even took a shot at DeSantis by criticizing his ongoing feud with Disney. Suarez also weighed in on the NAACP's recent Florida travel advisory, the ethics investigation into his work for a real estate developer, and why he thinks the Sunshine State has seen so much growth over the years.  Due to time limitations, we could not include the entire conversation in the FOX News Rundown segment that ran this week.

A deal to lift the debt limit has yet to be reached as Congress continues talks with the White House. Earlier this week, Speaker McCarthy said that some progress was made amid negotiations with President Biden, who has long claimed that he would be unwilling to make concessions to lift the deal. The U.S. is now only days away from potentially defaulting on its debt, meaning the country would no longer have the cash needed in order to meet its financial obligations. FOX Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram discusses where each party stands ahead of the looming debt ceiling deadline, as well as the timeline for Congress to strike a deal. President Joe Biden stated that the United States will support an effort to train Ukrainian fighter pilots on the F-16 aircraft during the G7 meeting last week. According to DoD officials, there is no information on where the aircraft will come from or when they will be delivered. Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Rep. Michael McCaul (TX-10) explains that this process could take months, criticizing the Biden Administration for the delay in this training and stresses how crucial it could have been in the counter-offensive that Ukraine could launch as early as the end of this month.

The leader of Russia's mercenaries known as the 'Wagner Group', Yevgeny Prigozhin, has been seriously competing for influence as of late, even going as far as saying that Russia is at risk of losing their war on Ukraine and that failure could cause a revolution against Moscow. While he continues to say he is loyal to Putin, some say he is jockeying to be Putin's replacement. FOX's Eben Brown spoke with Rebekah Koffler, president of ‘Doctrine & Strategy Consulting’, former DIA intelligence officer, and author of ‘Putin’s Playbook: Russia’s Secret Plan to Defeat America’, who says that anything is possible after Putin but explains the Wagner boss would fit the position easy.    Click Here To Follow 'The FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition' Learn more about your ad choices.

After months of anticipation, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis officially announced his 2024 presidential campaign from Miami, Florida on Wednesday evening. The state has become a hotbed for political controversy with the NAACP, Equality Florida, and the League of United Latin American Citizens all issuing travel advisories for the state, alleging to their members that the state's conservative policies showed the state "has become hostile" for minorities. Republican Mayor of Miami Francis Suarez believes this advisory is nothing more than a political stunt. Mayor Suarez joins the Rundown and shares his opinions on Governor DeSantis' 2024 campaign and discusses why he is still weighing whether or not he will join the GOP primary race as well. Despite two more candidates announcing their campaigns this week, former President Trump remains the front-runner Republican candidate in the polls. The Republican leadership has been focused on expanding their voter base ahead of the 2024 election in hopes that they can gain control of the House, Senate, and White House in the coming years. FOX News Sunday host Shannon Bream joins the podcast to discuss how former President Trump may navigate his GOP front-runner status as more candidates continue to join the field, what main policy issues will broaden the tent for Republican voters, and the latest on Supreme Court news and debt ceiling negotiations.

The Biden administration voiced public support for the HALT Fentanyl Act, first introduced by two GOP congressmen, which would permanently classify all fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I drugs and would prioritize giving law enforcement the tools to slow the trafficking of this lethal substance. In 2022, America saw over 100,000 overdoses, and 75,000 of those were estimated to be due to illegal fentanyl. Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) was one of the lawmakers who first sponsored this bill, and he joins the podcast to explain how his legislation will confront the rampant fentanyl production that is costing U.S. lives, why classifying fentanyl as a Schedule I drug will give the government more authority to crack down on traffickers, and the underlying issues driving this synthetic opioid crisis. May is mental health awareness month, and the U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, issued a warning on Tuesday, calling social media a ‘profound risk’ to America’s youth and responsible for recent years' rising rates of depression and anxiety. Some states are taking the initiative to place guardrails, like in Arkansas, where the state government passed the Social Media Safety Act, requiring social media platforms to verify users’ age and request parental permission. The minimum age listed to access many of these websites is thirteen; however, Dr. Murthy argues that is way too young. Licensed psychotherapist and the author of the new book, "Raising Healthy Teenagers," Tom Kersting, joins the podcast to talk about why social media is contributing to the youth mental health crisis in America, how legislation would address social media’s unhealthy impact, and what parents can do to prioritize their children’s mental health.

The 2024 GOP candidate field is widening this week as Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) officially launched his presidential campaign on Monday, and reports suggest Florida Governor Ron DeSantis plans to announce his candidacy this week as well. As the list of Republican candidates grows, campaigning and fundraising will be sure to heat up soon. Filings show Senator Scott has entered the race with more funds than any of his competitors, with $22 million on hand, while the current leading candidate, former President Trump, only had $14 million in his campaign’s war chest by the end of March. Former Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush and Fox News contributor Karl Rove joins the podcast to analyze the Senator’s chances of winning the nomination and how his positive message contradicts the narrative pushed by the left. A recently unsealed court filing revealed the FBI had improperly used warrantless search powers on U.S. citizens over 278,000 times, looking into Americans involved in the Capitol riot, George Floyd protests, and more. FBI Director Wray spoke on this revelation, saying the FBI's misusing Section 702 of FISA was a mistake that drove the bureau to make stricter changes to the system. Some lawmakers are not trusting these mistakes won’t happen again, saying they want to see even tighter restrictions on the bureau’s warrantless search tool, which should only be allowed to acquire intelligence on foreign targets. Retired FBI Special Agent John Iannarelli joins the Rundown to discuss how he believes this surveillance tool came to be misused by the FBI, the threat posed by politicization within the bureau, and what the intelligence organization must do to regain the trust of the American people.

The final Durham report was released this past week. Special Counsel John Durham concluded there was no justification for the FBI to even launch an investigation into whether former President Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 campaign.  Conservatives maintain the report proved bias and corruption at the agency. The mainstream media and Democrats dismissed the findings and said the years-long Durham probe was a waste of time.  After the reporter was released, Howie Kurtz, the host of "MediaBuzz," joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to not just discuss the Durham Report's findings but how the media responded. Kurtz was not surprised that many in the 'mainstream press' called it a 'dud' as many of them were obsessed with the Russian collusion story at the time and wouldn't want to acknowledge they were wrong. The host of the 'Media BUZZmeter' podcast also discussed how the media's credibility has never recovered from their coverage of the Trump-Russia investigation and why he thinks it would take a major bombshell for them to give the Hunter Biden scandal comparable coverage.  Due to time limitations, we could not include the entire conversation in the FOX News Rundown segment that ran this week.

On Wednesday, President Biden told the press that ‘the U.S. defaulting on our debt is not an option," and Speaker Kevin McCarthy told journalists on Thursday that he saw a path forward for a deal on raising the debt limit.

Congressman Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) joins the Rundown to explain why he believes the Republicans’ push to rein in spending is the winning message, how the GOP bill may become President Biden’s only choice, and he weighs in on the country’s ongoing border crisis.

Last month, Bud Light partnered with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney to promote the beer’s brand on social media. The branding move sparked a major backlash from Bud Light drinkers, who largely went on to boycott the drink nationwide. Even with weeks past the initial controversy, Bud Light saw its fifth consecutive week of plummeting sales, bringing dismay to the Anheuser-Busch executives who are brainstorming how their brand can recover. O'Leary Ventures Chairman and investor on ABC’s Shark Tank, Kevin O'Leary, joins the Rundown to talk about how brand partnerships can make or break a company, what steps Bud Light must take to recover from this mishap, and why he thinks America's small banks are on the decline. The end of Title 42 has brought increased illegal border crossings, and migrants being received by the U.S. are still being bused to sanctuary cities; however, communities in those cities are speaking up about the negative consequences of migrants taking resources from the people who live there. In New York City, migrants are staying at hotels, police stations, and even school gymnasiums, which has caused parents in those communities to protest about the safety and learning impact on their children. Counties near sanctuary cities are suffering too, says New York’s Rockland County Executive Ed Day. He joins the podcast to explain why NYC Mayor Eric Adams and President Biden are being "reckless" in their push to accommodate migrants and how he is fighting for his county's limited resources.

China's yuan has been gaining increased use globally and often does when countries like Russia are being sanctioned. With China's strict business rules and a constantly developing capital, could the dollar be overtaken by the yuan?

The final 306-page Durham report was released Monday, stating that the FBI rushed its investigation into the claims that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia. Special prosecutor John Durham concluded that the bureau failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law and the integrity of the probe suffered from confirmation bias. While this report was long-awaited by many conservatives, most of the mainstream media is dismissing the information as a minor story. Howie Kurtz, the host of "MediaBuzz," joins the podcast to break down how these findings damage the media's credibility, why this story could signal good news for former President Donald Trump's 2024 chances, and the similarities between the Trump-Russia investigation and the Hunter Biden investigation. Tuesday morning, Russia launched a major aerial assault on Ukraine's capital, which Kyiv officials say they were able to combat using the U.S.’s Patriot air defense system. U.S. military aid to Ukraine is set to run out this summer, with only $6 billion left from the $48 billion package allocated to aid them against the ongoing Russian invasion. Now the question remains: Can Ukraine expect more military aid dollars from America? Former U.S. Ambassador to NATO Kurt Volker joins the Rundown to discuss why he believes the U.S. will likely pass another aid package due to widespread bipartisan support, how the Biden administration's communications on the issue are causing Americans' support for Ukraine to falter, and the importance of prioritizing both domestic issues as well as hostility towards our allies overseas.

Now, Penny is facing second-degree manslaughter charges. Many are divided following Neely’s death, with sides torn over whether to paint Penny’s actions as those of a subway hero or dangerous vigilante. Phil Holloway, a criminal defense attorney and former police officer, joins the podcast for a conversation about what is considered "reasonable" when it comes to self-defense, his belief that Penny’s arrest was motivated in part by public opinion, and why he thinks the Neely defense attorneys may be at a disadvantage.

National security has become top of mind for many lawmakers as the expiration of Title 42 leaves border towns & sanctuary cities at risk, and the threat from foreign adversaries like China, Russia, and North Korea remains strong. In response, House Republicans have gotten to work addressing these concerns, passing the "Secure the Border Act" in the House last week, aiming to tighten border security & provide more border patrol resources. Meanwhile, House Intelligence Committee Chairman, Congressman Mike Turner, has been working to strengthen foreign relations -- leading a bipartisan congressional delegation to the Middle East to meet with key leaders and intelligence services. Rep. Turner (R-OH) joins to discuss why he believes it's "inhumane" of President Biden to allow the border to remain in its current state, what insight he gained from meeting with allies overseas, and how the U.S. should be working to deter adversarial threats. The Biden administration is reinvigorating its push for green energy reform as the Department of Energy recently proposed new limits and rules for American appliances like washers, dryers, refrigerators, and stoves. These government regulations have already had an impact on the country, with New York becoming the first state in the country to ban gas stoves in new buildings starting in 2026. Vice President of Communications and Marketing for the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, Jill Notini, joins the podcast to share how the new rules could negatively impact low-income families, why these limits may reverse the efficiency of common appliances, and why a switch to lower-energy-use appliances may cost the consumer much more than it will save them.

Title 42 had ended, and now multiple border communities have issued disaster declarations to help prepare for the surge of illegal migrants they expect to accommodate in the days following the end of the pandemic-era border policy. The Biden administration fought hard to overturn this policy, but now they've introduced a new immigration policy that would make seeking asylum stricter. The lifting of this policy, however, has caused record-high migrant detentions at the U.S.-Mexico border in recent days, worrying border communities about their capacity to handle the humanitarian crisis that may follow. The Mayor of Laredo, Texas, Dr. Victor Trevino, shared such concerns when he joined the Fox News Rundown podcast earlier this week. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the conversations in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with Mayor Trevino about how his city is preparing for a huge surge of migrants, the strain that these surges put on the Laredo community, and how he would go about beginning to fix the U.S. immigration system.

President Biden met with Speaker McCarthy and other top Congressional leaders on Tuesday to discuss raising the nation's debt limit ahead of a looming default. Although neither party was willing to change their stance surrounding the limit increase and spending cuts, a second meeting is in the works, which some believe to be a sign of progress.

The state of Oklahoma will no longer use tax dollars to fund PBS after it aired children's content highlighting sexual orientation and gender. The decision is one being debated around the country, as recent polling shows that many Americans are concerned about a number of cultural issues like transgender rights or trans athletes in sports. Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt joins the podcast to break down his decision to end state funding for PBS after seeing what he called ‘problematic content.’ Later, he discusses his state's recent legislation banning gender-affirming care for minors and what issues will be top of mind as we head closer toward the 2024 presidential election. The Biden administration is facing two issues that have Americans’ full attention and concern. The first is coming to an agreement to address the looming debt ceiling, where already strained negotiations have been delayed. The second is the expiration of Title 42, a pandemic-era border policy that has just been lifted by the Biden administration, which experts expect to bring upon a massive increase in illegal border crossings. Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream joins the podcast to discuss where the Democrats and Republicans disagree on debt ceiling negotiations, whether the Biden administration could use the 14th Amendment to resolve the issue, and the consequences of the expiration of Title 42.

Title 42 expires Thursday night, and the Biden administration is urging migrants to use legal pathways to enter the United States as border patrol agents are bracing for an unprecedented number of asylum seekers. The rule was originally put into place during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to curb migration for the sake of preserving public health in America, and after a long legal fight, the Biden administration has gotten rid of this public health order. Many fear that there might not be enough border officials to handle the surge. The Mayor of Laredo, Texas, Dr. Victor Trevino joins the Rundown for a conversation about how his city is preparing for a massive influx of migrants, the negative impact the surge will have on the Laredo community, and why sending all migrants back to Mexico could cause more problems than it aims to solve. On Wednesday, the House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer held a press conference and alleged his panel had new findings in their investigation of the Biden family’s business dealings. Chairman Comer described information that detailed how Hunter Biden and other members of the Biden family conducted alleged business dealings with foreign nationals.

For the first time since February, President Joe Biden will meet with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other top congressional leaders to discuss the debt limit crisis. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned that the country could default and face a potential 'financial collapse' as early as June 1 if a solution isn't found. Last month, House Republicans passed a bill to raise the debt limit that includes healthcare spending cuts, which both the Democratic-controlled Senate and President Biden said they won't approve. Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) joins the Rundown to discuss the standoff, why he believes the president needs to show more leadership, and why he says he will refuse to raise the debt limit unless it comes with significant spending cuts.   If you think things are bad at the border now, they're about to get worse. That's because Title 42, the Covid-related policy used to keep many migrants out, is about to end. Officials are bracing themselves for an even bigger surge as the country reverts back to old immigration law. Charles Marino, who was a Homeland Security Advisor during the Obama Administration, joins the FOX News Rundown to discuss why Title 42 ending will make the border crisis even worse and why he feels the Biden administration has been slow to prepare for this massive change.    Plus, commentary from author David Marcus.

There's a new epidemic hitting the American public hard: loneliness. U.S. surgeon general Dr. Vivek Murthy has recently declared that loneliness may be as lethal as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, as research shows that prolonged isolation can lead to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, dementia, and premature death. This declaration has left many Americans with questions. Why is this happening in the age of social media — when people across the globe can connect easier than ever? How can the American public combat this health risk if loneliness can be difficult to identify in others? On the Rundown, former U.S. surgeon general Dr. Jerome Adams answers these questions, explaining why social media is actually a leading cause of loneliness in America, what the science is behind how isolation can impact physical health, and how people can focus on doing simple acts in their communities to make a big difference.   The April jobs report showed over 250,000 jobs were created last month, showing good economic growth as unemployment numbers ease. This data comes days after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates again, lifting them to a 16-year high. This move from the Fed may tackle inflation, but economists worry it could further strain the banking system which has seen turmoil in recent months. Co-anchor of “The Big Money Show” on FOX Business, Taylor Riggs, joins the Rundown to discuss what job numbers mean for working Americans, why the nation's regional banks are so important to local communities, and the state of the Federal Reserve's fight against inflation.   Plus, commentary by former Trump Economic Adviser and economist at the Heritage Foundation Steve Moore.

“The Rise of A.I.”: Executives from Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI went to the White House this past week to discuss the risks associated with the recent rapid development of artificial intelligence technology. Concerns over the potential consequences have been voiced by many AI researchers and experts, many of whom have given dire warnings and are even predicting the end of humanity if guardrails are not put in place. However, there are still some in the scientific community who believe the technology can and will be harnessed for good. Astrophysicist, author of “Starry Messenger,” and esteemed scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson joined The FOX News Rundown’s Lisa Brady to discuss the ongoing fears surrounding AI and put them in perspective. Neil deGrasse Tyson explained that while some concerns are real, many are overblown.

Artificial intelligence may be the technology of the future, but could it bring us more harm than good? That is what some AI researchers and tech experts fear, and that is why more than 1,000 of them signed a letter earlier this year urging a ‘pause’ on some AI development. Eliezer Yudkowsky, a decision theorist at the Machine Intelligence Research Institute who has studied AI for more than 20 years, thinks that letter does not go far enough. He says AI could actually lead to the end of humanity, and we need international agreements now to prevent the technology from advancing too far. He even believes we may need a ‘shooting war’ to stop a country that refuses to comply. Yudkowsky recently spoke with FOX News Rundown’s Jessica Rosenthal about why he is trying to raise the alarm over AI and why action is needed now. He offered some blunt warnings and compared AI’s threat to that of nuclear war. Due to time limitations, we could not include the conversation in our weekday editions of the Fox News Rundown.

With a deadline to avoid a default approaching sooner than expected, President Biden has invited the four top Congressional leaders to discuss the ongoing debt ceiling standoff. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned that the nation could potentially default on its debt by June 1st, meaning the country would not have enough money to pay its bills. The President has maintained that the debt limit must be raised with no conditions, leading many to wonder whether the upcoming meeting will lead to a resolution. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram previews the President's debt limit meeting and discusses the consequences of failing to raise the debt limit. 75 years ago, President Harry Truman recognized Israel after the country declared itself an independent Jewish state. Since then, the United States has maintained a solid relationship with the country, with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (CA-20) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) both paying bipartisan visits. However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not been extended the customary invitation to the White House after his win last year, raising concerns about judicial overhaul legislation as well as the right-wing coalition. Deputy National Secretary Advisor for the Middle East and North African Affairs during the Trump Administration Victoria Coates reassures listeners that Congress will continue to support the security relationship between the two nations, but says she cannot say the same about the Biden Administration.

"The Rise of A.I.": It was last year that the Biden administration proposed a blueprint for an "A.I. Bill of Rights," which sought to protect Americans from the consequences of unchecked artificial intelligence. A recent Fox News poll shows 76% of voters want to see federal regulation on A.I. technology, as Americans worry many common jobs could be replaced by the advanced technology being developed. Fox Business Digital writer Eric Revell joins the podcast to discuss why he believes artificial intelligence won’t be replacing most professions any time soon, the need for A.I. to have human oversight, and how Americans may be interacting with artificial intelligence without realizing it. But first, the Senate Judiciary Committee conducted a hearing this week to evaluate whether Congress can require the Supreme Court to adopt a binding code of ethics. This comes after one of the nine justices failed to disclose private luxury travel and accommodations from a wealthy Republican donor. Both parties agree that the Supreme Court needs to adopt guidelines for justices to abide by but cannot agree on how to move forward. Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream joins the podcast to discuss how this will affect justices in the future, the controversy surrounding the debt ceiling, and how the end of Title 42 may worsen the strain on the southern border.

The U.S. military is embracing A.I. and using it as a tool to quickly digest data, but the Pentagon says that they plan to maintain "human control." A bipartisan group of lawmakers has introduced a bill that would prevent A.I. from making nuclear launch code decisions. Co-founder of the artificial intelligence company Straylight Systems, Sergio Rodriguera Jr., and FOX News Digital Politics Editor Pete Kasperowicz join the podcast to discuss the threat that deepfakes may pose to geopolitics, the drawbacks to the U.S. potentially deciding to pause A.I. development, and what this technology means for the country's military capabilities.

The author of 'Woke, Inc.' and 2024 GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy joins the Rundown to weigh in on tightening rules on youth gender reassignment to protect America's children and the importance of finding ‘the root causes’ of America's cultural issues to reestablish the nation's equilibrium.

"THE RISE OF A.I.": Artificial intelligence is getting smarter and being used more widely. From patient care to diagnostics, A.I. has already made its way into the medical community. Some see the advancements as positive, catching things a doctor might miss. But the increased use of AI is also raising concerns, as some fear it could deny patients the personal attention they need or even replace nurses and doctors. FOX News Medical Contributor and Professor at NYU Langone Health, Dr. Marc Siegel joins the FOX News Rundown to discuss the 'Rise Of A.I.' in health care and how the technology is already being used in hospitals, his concerns over where AI advancements could go in the future, and why he feels AI should always only be used as a tool and not a replacement for doctors. But First ... The GOP's debt ceiling bill passed in the House -- but President Biden remains unwilling to negotiate as the bill makes its way to the Senate, where a Democratic majority is likely to strike it down. Meanwhile, as new inflation and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) numbers disappoint economists who predicted quicker economic recovery in the U.S., many Americans worry that the potential inability to reach a debt ceiling consensus combined with weak economic numbers could mean trouble for America's financial well-being. On the Rundown, Chairman of the Committee on House Administration, Congressman Bryan Steil (R-WI), discusses why he believes the debt ceiling debate is primarily fueled by Democrats "having their heads in the sand," how irresponsible government spending has played a role in our weak economy, and the creation of his legislation, the 'Putting Investors First Act.'

The Biden administration recently proposed a revision to the Title IX rules, which would prevent schools and universities that receive federal funding from banning transgender students from competing in sports consistent with their gender identity.

On Wednesday, Speaker McCarthy managed to advance a GOP-led bill through the House that would raise the nation's debt limit while also limiting federal spending. Although Speaker McCarthy was able to narrowly secure the votes needed to pass the legislation, the bill is unlikely to survive the Democrat-led Senate. President Biden has maintained that he will not meet with House Republicans to negotiate whether or not the debt ceiling is extended, adding to tensions at the nation's Capitol as the default deadline fast approaches. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram unpacks the contents of the debt limit bill and explains how it was able to pass in the first place. He later looks ahead to the future of the bill amid the looming economic crisis at hand. Mayor Oscar Leeser announced that he will declare El Paso, Texas in a state of emergency once Title 42 expires, effective May 11th.

Later, he shares his thoughts on DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and the federal government's efforts to assist the city. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

President Biden has refused to discuss the debt ceiling with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy until Republicans produce a budget. However, McCarthy has now successfully passed a debt ceiling bill in the House and is urging the President to come to the table with Republicans, who have 'done their job'. Meanwhile, President Biden has announced his run for re-election in 2024, and though many polls show he's currently the lead candidate in the Democratic Party, they also conclude the majority of voters don't want the President to run again, citing his age as a primary concern. Fox News Sunday Host Shannon Bream joins to weigh in on these topics as well as the latest oversight hearing on COVID school closures and China’s diplomacy attempts with Ukraine. On May 1st, the Biden administration will roll out a new regulation from the Federal Housing Finance Agency that will impose higher mortgage fees on Americans with good credit to help subsidize low-income buyers with bad credit.

Last night, House Republicans were able to narrowly pass Speaker McCarthy’s debt ceiling plan, which would reduce government spending, cut funding for federal agencies, and block parts of the President’s agenda. The Democrats, however, want to raise the debt ceiling without conditions, so this bill is unlikely to pass the Senate or survive a likely veto from President Biden. Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick is a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus and is pushing for a bipartisan compromise on this issue. Rep. Fitzpatrick joins the podcast to discuss the need to solve two crises at once: raising the debt limit to avoid a default and creating guardrails around government spending to prevent this problem in the future. While millions of Americans will be tuned in to this week's NFL draft, FOX Sports NFL Insider Jay Glazer is focused not only on the player picks but on his mental health as well.

It's been over 80 days since President Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy have met to discuss the debt ceiling, as the President and his top advisors continue refusing to negotiate on a debt ceiling increase. Though McCarthy has not come forward with the clean proposal the President is calling for, he has introduced the new 'Limit, Save, Grow Act,' legislation that agrees to raise the debt ceiling if certain spending cuts are made. The Speaker is now looking to House Republicans this coming week, as he aims to round up at least 218 votes to pass the bill and strengthen his stance on the debt ceiling before future talks with the President. On the Rundown, Chief Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) joins to discuss what 'reckless' spending has led the U.S. economy to become $31 trillion in debt and why it's crucial that both parties put the American people before politics when coming to an agreement on the debt ceiling.

Thirty years this past week, the Waco siege--a 51-day standoff between the Branch Davidians religious group and federal agents--came to a deadly end.  In February 1993, David Koresh, the cult's leader, was accused of stockpiling illegal weapons and abusing children. An attempted raid on February 28th by the ATF failed and led to the death of four agents and six Branch Davidians. On April 19th, 1993, after the FBI attempted to use tear gas to speed up negotiations that had gone on for weeks, a fire broke out inside the compound killing 76 people, including Koresh. It is still debated by some on how that fire began. Retired ATF Senior Special Agent Blake Boteler was at the siege and joined the FOX News Rundown's Dave Anthony to discuss his experience. Boteler, who took part in the first raid, describes being shot at and how things went wrong from the start. Boteler always weighed in on how the standoff was conducted, why he thinks the group committed mass suicide, and how the events sparked an anti-government movement.

The right to 'self-defense' is a basic American right, but can be complicated. "Stand your ground" laws and the "castle doctrine" are in effect in multiple states to allow citizens to protect themselves from potential harm or deter would-be intruders from their homes.  However, self-defense laws like these have come under scrutiny recently after a string of apparent accidental shootings.  Two high-profile examples include a Black teenager in Kansas City, Missouri who was shot after ringing the doorbell at the wrong address. And in Upstate New York, a young woman was shot and killed after the car she was in mistakenly pulled into the wrong driveway.  In these cases, both of the shooters have pleaded not guilty, citing self-defense.  These tragic incidents have many asking when citizens can legally use deadly force to protect themselves. Former Assistant US Attorney for the Southern District of New York and FOX News Contributor Andy McCarthy joined The FOX News Rundown's Lisa Brady to discuss how broad the right to self-defense is in America.  McCarthy explained how these laws vary by state, and whether juries are typically sympathetic to defendants who claim self-defense.

This week, lawmakers raised concerns about a recent intelligence leak and its exposure of classified information pertaining to Russian and Ukrainian forces amid the ongoing war on Ukraine. Although Pentagon officials have claimed that the leaked documents pose a great risk to national security, President Biden downplayed the impact of its contents. While many of the documents have not yet been authenticated, the substance of the intelligence reveals contradicting information related to Ukraine's military ahead of a Spring offensive, leading many to question whether the leak will change plans as the war progresses. Former Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Policy James Anderson discusses his takeaways from the documents, the gravity of the leak, and what it reveals about the future of Russia's war on Ukraine. Many cybersecurity experts have raised serious concerns about the recent leak of classified information from the Pentagon, speaking to the gravity of the situation and its implications. Retired 4 Star General, Chairman of the Institute for the Study of War, and FOX News Senior Strategic Analyst Jack Keane assesses the level of damage this leak has imposed on cybersecurity and provides insight into the intelligence that 21-year-old National Guardsman Jack Teixeira allegedly revealed.

The House Select Subcommittee on Coronavirus held another hearing on Tuesday, trying to discern what the available intelligence tells us about China's involvement in the pandemic's origins.
