The Fox News Rundown

The power of the MAGA endorsement strikes again following Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s decisive runoff victory, signaling a significant shift in the Republican landscape as the fight for Congressional control continues. Senator Jim Banks (R-IN) joins the Rundown to discuss whether this primary momentum can be sustained through November. Plus, he breaks down his legislative push for the "Delilah Law," which would restrict commercial driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants, and a bold proposal from the DHS secretary to pull federal customs agents from sanctuary city airports as a form of jurisdictional retaliation.

The upcoming hurricane season is bringing a mix of relief and uncertainty as rare global weather patterns clash with record ocean warmth. FOX Weather Meteorologist Ian Oliver joins to discuss NOAA's recent predictions for a quieter-than-usual year, the inner workings of a massive Pacific warming trend that acts as a natural shield against storm development, and how groundbreaking AI technology is being used to better predict severe weather and protect coastal communities.

Iran has accused the U.S. of a “grave violations” of the fragile ceasefire after U.S. defensive strikes in southern Iran and near the Strait of Hormuz. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said diplomacy remains possible, but Tehran continues to signal distrust over key issues. And Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned that its forces are “lying in wait” if the President Trump orders the resumption of combat operations, with the outlook for a potential deal remaining uncertain.

FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with David Schenker, Taube Senior Fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy and former Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, who says there are multiple signs Iran's economy is faltering, but also hints that could suggest the regime is still in control of its population.

With this marking the second attempted attack in just one month, concerns are intensifying over whether current security measures are enough. New York Republican Congressman Andrew Garbarino, Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, joins the Rundown to discuss why these threats seem to be escalating and whether we have the resources needed to keep everyone in D.C. safe.

As health officials monitor a string of recent viral outbreaks across the globe, concern is growing over the threat of highly infectious diseases spreading past international borders. Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a physician at the Walter Reed Medical Center, joins to discuss the current Ebola outbreak in Africa, the deep mistrust and lack of resources hampering containment efforts, and how strict U.S. screening protocols and low transmission rates are keeping the risk to Americans low.

The U.S. State Department reached a new settlement committing to strictly enforce the Taylor Force Act, a measure Congress first passed in 2018, which bans U.S. economic aid to the Palestinian Authority until they end their "pay-for-slay" policies that compensate imprisoned terrorists or their families. The Palestinian Authority "Pay-for-Slay" policy gained wide public attention when Taylor Force, a West Point graduate who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, was savagely knifed to death by a Palestinian terrorist on March 8, 2016, while on a tour of Israel. This new settlement is to remain in effect for 10 years.

FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Stuart Force, father of Taylor Force, who says his son would be proud of the efforts to stop American taxpayer money from getting to terrorists.

Texas voters head to the polls for a high-stakes Republican Senate runoff that could test President Trump’s influence once again. Senator John Cornyn is fighting to fend off a Trump-endorsed challenge from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as both candidates argue they are best positioned to keep the seat in Republican hands ahead of November. With several recent GOP incumbents losing primaries across the country, the outcome could signal how much sway the President still holds within the party heading into the midterms. University of Texas Professor and FOX News Decision Desk member Daron Shaw joins the Rundown to break down the political stakes in Texas, and what the race could mean for Republicans nationwide.
Mental health awareness has helped reduce stigma and encouraged more people to seek support, but some experts warn the culture surrounding therapy may be creating new problems. Psychotherapist and author Jonathan Alpert joins the Rundown to discuss his new book, Therapy Nation, and why he believes Americans are becoming too quick to identify with mental health struggles instead of working through them.

Post and FOX News.
