The U.S. State Department, just a few months ago, approved $30 million in funding for the 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation', a sometimes criticized group delivering aid in war-torn Gaza. Since the GHF began its operations in May, the organization says it has partnered with local Palestinian aid workers and non-governmental organizations to deliver nearly 125 million meals to Gazans. The issue of humanitarian aid getting to Palestinians has been a building crisis and has been used politically to place blame on who is actually perpetrating violence against those seeking aid in the war-torn area.

European leaders visited the White House on Monday, where President Trump had an Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Stock index futures saw a moderate bounce this morning, recovering after last week's disappointing hiring slowdown in the jobs report and investors' knee-jerk reaction to tariff jitters. FOX Business The Big Money Show co-anchor Jackie DeAngelis speaks with Annex Wealth Management chief economist Brian Jacobsen about the surprise in the jobs report, why the Fed has waited this long to cut rates, and how missing the opportunity to cut earlier could force Powell's hand in September.

The Trump administration has a lot of irons in the fire right now, between President Trump's efforts to broker peace in the world's hot spots, tariff negotiations with many countries, and his attempt to stabilize the U.S. economy. Meanwhile, the 2026 Midterm Elections are swiftly approaching, and both parties have their eyes on key political races. Republican strategist and co-founder of South and Hill Strategies, Colin Reed, joins the Rundown to discuss the current state of the U.S. economy and how President Trump's economic policies will reflect voters' decisions in the 2026 Midterm Elections.    Tariffs, job numbers, and interest rates are all impacting the economic picture within the United States; however, American small businesses seem resilient in finding carrots, sticks, resources, and hope. Marcus Lemonis is the host of the new show, “The Fixer,” on FOX Business, and he joined the Rundown to give his perspective on the poor jobs report and why he believes the Trump administration's tariff strategy is a good one. Later, he talks about helping small businesses get back to thriving on his brand new FOX Business show airing Friday nights.   Plus, commentary from FOX News Contributor Joe Concha.

President Trump has made making America healthy again a goal of his second term. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary are leading that effort by addressing many things, including what is in our food, our dietary guidelines, and what medications are made available. Recently, Dr. Makary joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to discuss his efforts to help improve America's health. He discussed the importance of removing dyes and other chemicals from our foods, and also why our nation needs to rethink its dietary guidelines that he believes have led to America's obesity problem. Dr. Makary also discussed the dangers of popular energy drinks and gummies containing opioid-like substances that many people may not realize are harmful. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary, allowing you to hear even more of his views on how we can improve the health of Americans and why he says we're paying the price for decades of bad policy.
