He also weighs in on the fallout from U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites and the sharp partisan divide over their impact. Later, Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) shares what she learned about the challenging and often dangerous duties ICE agents possess after experiencing it first-hand, and why she remains optimistic about the potential impact the "Big Beautiful Bill" could have if it passes.

It happens in Washington D.C. all the time but also in state legislatures, political decisions are often made down the party lines with members voting with the official policy or opinion of one's political party.

That challenge could not be showcased better than in Washington State, which ranks second in the nation for agricultural production but also has cities like Seattle and Spokane to care for. FOX's Tonya J. Powers speaks with Washington State Senator Drew MacEwen (R) who says there is a balancing act in meeting the needs and interests of rural areas in a state and its cities, and he also shares plenty of reasons to visit his beautiful state.

It's been less than a week since direct hostilities ignited between Israel and Iran. Israel's government claimed Iran was too close to achieving nuclear weapons and that it needed to commence a plan to stop them since negotiations with the U.S. seemed to go nowhere. Since the fighting began late last week, we've seen Israel, using both air strikes and commandos on the ground, eliminate key leaders in Iran's government, military, and domestic police forces, as well as their top nuclear scientists. And then came the destruction of government buildings, military bases, air force assets, and then attacks on Iran's infamous nuclear development sites. Some are rendered destroyed or inoperable. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says they've set back Iran's nuclear ambitions for a long time. But Iran has struck some blows, firing ballistic guided missiles at Israeli population centers. They've damaged or destroyed homes, killing people inside.

There have been days of anger and unrest in Los Angeles over illegal immigration raids and arrests. The ICE operations that sparked the protests began on Friday, the same day that perhaps the most infamous deportee, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, was brought back to the U.S. after spending weeks in El Salvador. Although he's back in America, thanks to a Supreme Court order, he will now face federal human trafficking charges. Texas Republican Michael McCaul joins the FOX News Rundown to discuss Abrego Garcia's case, the unrest in Los Angeles, and why he believes there was a need for President Trump's tough immigration policies following four years of the Biden administration. It is primary day in the New Jersey gubernatorial race. While it's an off-year election, voter turnout and the extent to which President Trump's agenda is on voters' minds will draw significant attention. In recent elections, Republicans have made progress flipping blue districts red and attempting to turn the state purple. The Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael Whatley, joins the Rundown to discuss whether his party's momentum in states like New Jersey will continue into 2026, what the race in the Garden State may tell us about the national trends, and the importance of Congress passing that 'one big, beautiful bill'.  Plus, commentary from AEI Senior Fellow and former CPB board member, Howard Husock.
