Iran's Economy Struggling Under U.S. Blockade

A National "Reset": How The Supreme Court Just Shook Up The Midterms

The Supreme Court has struck down Louisiana's redrawn congressional map in a decision that could have a massive impact on this year's midterm elections and the current nationwide redistricting fight. While a lower court previously mandated a second Black-majority district to satisfy Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the High Court’s 6-3 majority ruled that the state went too far in prioritizing race, labeling it an "unconstitutional" racial gerrymander. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill joins us to discuss why she believes the court has finally "harmonized" the law with the Constitution and how this ruling affects other states seeking to reshape their voting boundaries. Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted for a second time by the Trump administration. This time, he is accused of using seashells on a beach to communicate a threat toward the President. Criminal defense attorney Andrew Cherkasky joins to discuss the indictment related to the "86-47" post, the First Amendment questions the case raises, and the significant challenges prosecutors will face. Plus, he breaks down the case against Cole Allen—the man charged with the attempted assassination of President Trump last weekend—and why an insanity defense is unlikely to succeed.  PLUS, commentary by Karol Markowicz, columnist for the New York Post and FOX News.

Federal agents from the FBI and Homeland Security raided more than 20 Minnesota businesses this week, marking a massive escalation in the fight against rampant fraud. While Minnesota has been under the spotlight for years regarding Medicaid fraud, the Trump administration is now launching a nationwide crackdown. CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz joins the program to explain how he is working to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse.

President Trump 'Dissatisfied' With Latest Iranian Proposal

Both President Trump and Secretary Rubio are yet to respond to Iran’s latest proposal, but both have expressed that they feel it falls short saying they are 'dissatisfied'.

Meanwhile, the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz continues to damage Iran economically, which in the end could cause the greatest change in the country. FOX’s John Saucier speaks with Janatan Sayeh, research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies focused on Iranian domestic affairs and the Islamic Republic’s regional malign influence, who says the United States needs to continue its maximum pressure plan.

Extra: Why A Navy TOPGUN Pilot is Fighting for Psychedelic Therapy

President Trump has opened the door to faster research on psychedelics and potential treatment approvals with an executive order focused, in part, on one substance in particular: ibogaine, which has helped some people overcome opioid addiction and treat mental health issues. However, U.S. research on several psychedelics—including psilocybin, derived from so-called "magic mushrooms"—has faced strict limitations because they are currently in the same federal drug classification as heroin. While opponents call these substances dangerous, some veterans say these treatments have already saved lives, including Matthew “Whiz” Buckley. A decorated Navy fighter pilot and TOPGUN graduate, Buckley is the founder of the No Fallen Heroes Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping veterans heal through psychedelic therapies. He recently joined the FOX News Rundown to tell host Lisa Brady about his own experience with ibogaine treatment in Mexico, where it is legal, and what it was like to be in the Oval Office for the recent signing of the President’s executive order. In this extended conversation, Buckley discusses his hopes for the new policy, the personal impact of his treatment, and his response to those who oppose the use of psychedelics. We often have to edit our weekday interviews for time, but we wanted you to hear the full conversation. Today, on the FOX News Rundown: Extra, we bring you the complete interview with Matthew “Whiz” Buckley. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
