This week, a tug-of-war over the Trump administration's sweeping tariffs imposed using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977. The Court of International Trade blocked President Trump's tariffs, arguing the act did not give the President unbounded tariff authority. The White House economic team is confident the administration will defeat this legal challenge, with an appeals court already ruling that these tariffs can remain in effect pending the appeal. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to highlight this legal challenge to the President's tariffs, Elon Musk's departure from the Trump administration, and investigations being launched into the Biden administration. President Trump wants a lot more nuclear power production in the United States, signing executive orders a week ago focused on quadrupling U.S. capacity within 25 years. Nuclear power has long been associated with high-profile disasters and fears of mishaps, but nuclear advocates say it actually is cleaner and safer than fossil fuels. Jacob DeWitte is the co-founder and CEO of nuclear technology company Oklo, and he was at the executive order signing. He joins the podcast to explain the strides made in making nuclear reactors safer and more efficient. Plus, commentary from FOX News Digital columnist David Marcus.

As Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial progresses, reports indicate that several high-profile celebrities are seeking legal counsel to avoid potential subpoenas. TMZ founder Harvey Levin revealed to Fox News Digital that some celebrities are concerned about being called to testify and have "lawyered up" in an effort to prevent this. While specific names have not been disclosed, the trial has already seen testimonies from notable figures such as Cassie Ventura and Kid Cudi. Additionally, other celebrities, including Michael B. Jordan, Usher, and Jennifer Lopez, have been mentioned during proceedings, though none have been accused of wrongdoing.The apprehension among celebrities stems from the prosecution's strategy of presenting a comprehensive narrative of Combs' alleged misconduct, which includes testimonies about his behavior in various social settings. Legal experts suggest that potential witnesses may invoke their Fifth Amendment rights to avoid self-incrimination if called to the stand. The trial, which began on May 12, is expected to continue for several more weeks, with the prosecution aiming to establish a pattern of coercion and abuse. As the case unfolds, the involvement of additional celebrities, whether as witnesses or through mentions in testimonies, remains a possibility.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Celebrities reportedly fear testifying in Sean 'Diddy' Combs case | Fox News

The United States and the UK have reached a trade deal that gives the American agriculture industry far greater access to the UK markets. President Trump called the new agreement "historic," pledging it will reduce the non-tariff barriers that unfairly discriminate against American products by ensuring American farmers and ranchers can sell their goods to global markets. First, Agriculture Department Secretary Brooke Rollins joins the Rundown to discuss the expansion of U.S. farm products into the UK and what the President teased as "billions of dollars of export opportunities produced by America's great farmers." Later, farmer and author of "Land Rich, Cash Poor," Brian Reisinger, joins to discuss how the deal delivers relief to U.S. farmers after the squeeze of tariffs. Over the weekend, news broke that former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among adult men in the United States and is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Dr. Randall Lee, Assistant Professor in the Department of Urology at the FOX Chase Cancer Center at Temple Health, joins to discuss the former President's diagnosis and offers insights on how to detect and treat prostate cancer.

6:05pm- According to a report from Fox News Digital, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is taking additional steps to prevent the politicization of intelligence—in the process, she has fired National Intelligence Council acting Chair Mike Collins. 6:20pm- While promoting his new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” CNN's Jake Tapper revealed that a White House physician informed then-President Joe Biden's aides that he might require the assistance of a wheelchair in his second term if he were to continue falling. While Tapper is reporting on these stories now, why wasn't he doing so prior to Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election? 6:40pm- On Friday, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka alongside Congressmembers Bonnie Watson-Coleman, LaMonica McIver, and Rob Menendez visited the Delaney Hall Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in New Jersey—at one point trespassing which led to a confrontation with ICE officials and the eventual arrest of Mayor Baraka.

While some Liberal Americans claim they would flee the United States to escape the second Trump administration, only a small crop of the rich and famous followed through on the threat. Chief National Initiatives Officer at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, Chuck DeVore recently wrote a piece for FOX News Digital dubbing the bunch "Donald Dashers." Chuck notes that the small bunch who left the U.S. is dwarfed by those relocating from Democratic to Republican regions. Chuck and Jason also discuss the Democrat's declining popularity and their predictions for the 2026 midterms.

Killer or Convenient Outsider? The Trial of Karen Read Karen Read, accused of killing her Boston Police officer boyfriend, is eager for the day when she won't have to visit a courtroom or wear a suit. Before she returns to the courtroom next month, a new documentary series is giving her the opportunity to tell the American public her side of what happened the night her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, died in January 2022. The Massachusetts woman is speaking out in an Investigation Discovery (ID) docuseries, A Body in the Snow: The Trial of Karen Read. The series offers a behind-the-scenes look at Read and her legal team as they attempt to prove her innocence in her 2024 trial. It features a lengthy sit-down with Read and other key voices, including those skeptical of her claims. “Doing this film is my testimony,” Read says in A Body in the Snow. “I know the events of that morning, I know what I said and I didn't say, and I haven't been able to say it. It's incredibly frustrating. I want to say what happened exactly as it happened.” A gripping new docuseries, A Body in the Snow, has reignited debate over one of Massachusetts' most controversial murder cases. Released less than a month before her retrial begins in April 2025, the series examines the case against Read, who stands accused of killing Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe. Prosecutors argue Read struck O'Keefe with her SUV and left him to die in the snow, while the defense claims she was framed by law enforcement insiders protecting their own. The Night That Changed Everything The first episode lays out the night of January 28, 2022, when Read and O'Keefe were out drinking before heading to fellow officer Brian Albert's house. Read insists she dropped O'Keefe off but never hit him. “I did not drive my car into John. I didn't reverse it. Did not hit John with my car,” she states unequivocally. When asked if there was any possibility his death was an accident, she doesn't hesitate: “There is zero chance this was an accident. There was zero chance John was hit by a vehicle.” Hours later, O'Keefe's body was found outside Albert's home, covered in snow with skull fractures, bruises, and claw-like marks. The prosecution claimed she ran him over and left, playing a voicemail from that night where an intoxicated Read slurred, “John, I f--king hate you! You're a f--king pervert.” Read faces charges of second-degree murder, vehicular manslaughter, and leaving the scene of a fatal accident. If convicted, she could receive a life sentence, with additional penalties for manslaughter and fleeing the scene. A Chilling Accusation The docuseries also delves into the day after O'Keefe's death, when Read visited his family. She remembers a moment that changed everything. John's brother, Paul O'Keefe, described John's injuries to her: “My brother looked like he went five rounds with Tyson.” Then, John's mother, Peggy O'Keefe, leaned over the kitchen island and coldly stated, “I think he looks like he got hit by a car. He looks like he got hit by a car.” That moment set off alarm bells. Read's brother, Nathan, who was also present, noticed a shift. “After a couple of minutes, Paul's cell phone rang, and he left the room. The way he looked at Karen when he came back in that room, it was like time stopped,” Nathan recalls. “Oxygen left the room at that point, and there were some serious looks of guilt thrown at Karen and subsequently at my father and I.” Read immediately realized she wasn't welcome. “I could read the room, and I was not wanted there. I looked at my dad and said, ‘I gotta get out of here. They think I did this.'” The Cover-Up Theory Read's legal team alleges that O'Keefe was beaten inside the house and later dumped outside. They point to a deleted Google search from within Albert's home that read, “Ho[w] long to die in cold?” three hours before O'Keefe was found. “There is no doubt that someone at 34 Fairview Road knows exactly what happened to John O'Keefe,” said Read's attorney, David Yannetti. “But instead of investigating, they went straight for the easiest scapegoat—Karen.” Then there were the text messages from lead investigator Michael Proctor, who referred to Read as a “wack job,” said he wished she would kill herself, and joked about searching her phone for nude photos. He was later suspended, but the damage was done. A Trial That Became a Media Frenzy Director Terry Dunn Meurer, who embedded with Read's defense team for 11 weeks, told Fox News Digital that one moment stood out to her during filming. “Karen was looking at her computer,” Meurer recalled. “She's looking at the video of the last evening before John O'Keefe died. She goes, ‘Oh, poor John. He's not with us anymore. I used to feel sad when I would look at this. But now … I've got to save myself.'” Meurer insisted that Read and her legal team had no control over the final product of the series. While the series includes interviews with some of O'Keefe's friends, his family and the prosecution declined to participate. The Mistrial and What's Next After nine weeks of testimony, the jury deadlocked, leading to a mistrial in July 2024. Read's retrial is set to begin on April 1, 2025. Meanwhile, Paul O'Keefe has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against her, which has been delayed until after the retrial. In an October 2024 Vanity Fair interview, Read addressed the accusations from O'Keefe's family: “Paul and Peg, if you think I killed John, that means you misjudged me for two years and entrusted two young family members in my care. Then in the blink of an eye, you now think I'm a cold-blooded killer who took away your son?” Meurer remains doubtful that the full truth will ever come out. “We have bits and pieces and varying stories and versions of stories that have emerged,” she said. “Alcohol played a huge role that night—Karen, John, the witnesses—everyone.” Read, who never testified in her first trial, uses the series as a way to speak publicly for the first time. “I just want to go away and be alone, I don't want any more court clothes or any more experts,” she says at the beginning of the final episode. “I just want to be done.” Where to Watch Episodes 1 and 2 of A Body in the Snow: The Karen Read Trial are currently streaming on MAX. Episodes 3 and 4 premiered on Investigation Discovery and MAX on Tuesday, March 18-last night. With Read's retrial looming, the docuseries shines a new light on a case that has divided opinions across the country. Whether she's a murderer or a scapegoat remains the question that will soon be answered. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrime #Corruption Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

It's Friday, February 28th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Christian woman arrested in Iran after police raid Christian gathering Iranian authorities raided a gathering of roughly 80 Christian converts on February 6 in northern Iran, and arrested Somayeh Rajabi, reports International Christian Concern. Agents from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stormed the gathering, which occurred in Gatab, and confiscated Bibles, phones, and musical instruments. Agents reportedly ripped crosses from individuals' necks and forced the Christians to divulge the passwords to their electronic devices. According to Article 18, agents also stopped emergency medical assistance from reaching the Christians. The day after her arrest, Rajabi was allowed one phone call to inform her family that she had been imprisoned in the town of Sari. Authorities have not yet announced formal charges against her. The persecution of Christians in Iran is ongoing and severe. The Middle Eastern nation has a long and violent history of mistreating Christians. According to Open Doors, Iran is the 9th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Persecuted Christians take great comfort in Psalm 27:1 which says, “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?” Prayer at Trump's first cabinet meeting At President Donald Trump's first cabinet meeting yesterday, he asked Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner to open with prayer. TURNER: “Let's pray. Father, We thank You for this awesome privilege, Father, to be in Your presence. God, thank You that You've allowed us to see this day. The Bible says that Your mercies are new every morning. And Father God, we give You the glory and the honor. Thank You God for President Trump. Father, for appointing us. Father, God, thank You for anointing us to do this job. Father, we pray You will give the President, the Vice President, wisdom as they lead. “Father, I pray for all of my colleagues that are here around the table and in this room. Lord God, we pray that we would lead with a righteous clarity. Father God, that as we serve the people of this country in every respective agency, every job that we have, Father, we would humble ourselves before You, and we would lead in a manner You called us to lead and to serve. “Father, the Bible says ‘Blessed is a nation whose God is the Lord.' Father, we today honor You and in Your rightful place. Father, thank You for giving us this opportunity to restore faith in this country and be a blessing to the people of America. Lord God, today in our meeting, we pray that You will be glorified in our conversation. In Jesus' name, Amen.” CABINET OFFICIALS: “Amen.” TRUMP: “Scott, that was a very good job that you did.” Indeed, Scott Turner quoted Psalm 33:12 accurately. It says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He chose for His inheritance.” Delta CEO refuses to blame Trump for airplane mishap On February 25th, in an interview with Gayle King on CBS, Delta CEO Ed Bastian was given an opportunity to blame President Donald Trump for the crash in Toronto, Canada. On February 17th, a Delta plane somehow flipped upside down upon landing which thankfully did not kill any of the 80 people aboard. In response to the setup, the Delta CEO immediately shot the question down. Listen. KING: “The Trump administration recently fired many employees of the FAA Administration. Do those cuts worry you and do you think that impacts the safety? I know you just said it's the safest way to travel, but after looking at all these mishaps, a lot of people are very nervous. Do these cuts affect you?” BASTIAN: “The cuts do not affect us Gail. I've been in close communication with the Secretary of Transportation. I understand that the cuts at this time are something that are raising questions. But the reality is there's over 50,000 people that work at the FAA and the cuts, I understand, were 300 people, and they were in non-critical safety functions. “The Trump administration has committed to investing deeply in terms of improving the overall technologies that are used in the air traffic control systems and modernizing the skies. They've committed to hiring additional controllers and investigators, safety investigators. So, no, I'm not concerned with that at all.” RFK Jr. pauses $240 million contract for new "oral COVID vaccine" Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has issued a 90-day stop-work order to American biotech company Vaxart Inc., which had been contracted during the Biden administration to develop a new “oral COVID-19 vaccine,” reports LifeSiteNews.com. Kennedy's order came just as 10,000 individuals were scheduled to begin clinical trials on Monday. HHS will utilize the 90-day hiatus to review Vaxart's initial findings to determine the future of the human trials and continued drug development. Approximately $460 million had been allotted to Vaxart by HHS to develop its new COVID-19 “vaccine,” of which $240 million had been authorized for the preliminary study, according to Fox News Digital. Kennedy said, “While it is crucial that the Department [of] Health and Human Services support pandemic preparedness, four years of the Biden administration's failed oversight have made it necessary to review agreements for vaccine production, including Vaxart's.” Actor Gene Hackman, wife, and dog all found dead And finally, Gene Hackman, the prolific Oscar-winning actor whose studied portraits ranged from reluctant heroes to conniving villains and made him one of the industry's most respected and honored performers, has been found dead along with his wife and a dog at their New Mexico home, reports NewsMax.com. He was 95. Hackman, wife Betsy Arakawa, age 63, and their German shepherd were all dead when deputies entered their home to check on their welfare around 1:45 p.m. Wednesday, according to the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office spokesman Denise Avila. Hackman was found dead in the mudroom, his wife was found dead in the bathroom next to a space heater, and their German shepherd was found dead 10 feet away in the bathroom closet. There was an open prescription bottle and pills scattered on a countertop near his wife. The sheriff's office said there was no indication that any of them had been shot or had other types of wounds nor were there obvious signs of a gas leak. A worker reported that the home's front door was open when he arrived for routine maintenance and that he called police after finding the bodies.

Idaho lawmakers have taken another step toward reinstating the firing squad as the state's primary execution method, just months before accused killer Bryan Kohberger stands trial for the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students. The bill, H0037, passed the Judiciary, Rules and Administration Committee and is now advancing to the House floor. It would replace lethal injection as Idaho's main method of execution. Rep. Bruce Skaug, who previously helped restore the firing squad as a backup option, said the change is necessary due to increasing problems with lethal injection. His push comes after the botched execution attempt of convicted serial killer Thomas Eugene Creech last year. “I, along with many others, believe the firing squad is more certain, has less appellate issues, and is more humane than other forms of execution,” Skaug told Fox News Digital. Creech, one of Idaho's most notorious inmates, was first sentenced to death for the 1974 murders of John Wayne Bradford and Edward Thomas Arnold, whom he shot after they picked him up hitchhiking. His sentence was later commuted to life in prison, but after he killed fellow inmate David Dale Jensen in 1983, he was placed back on death row. He has been convicted of five murders across Idaho, Oregon, and California and has confessed to many more, though authorities only suspect him in a handful of those additional killings. Despite his violent history, Creech survived his scheduled execution after lethal injection drugs failed, highlighting the challenges states face in carrying out capital punishment. He was the fourth condemned inmate in the U.S. to survive a botched lethal injection in recent years. The primary problem, experts say, is the limited supply of the drugs used in lethal injections. After the last American manufacturer of a key drug ceased production in 2009, states have struggled to obtain the necessary chemicals. The leading remaining supplier, an Italian company, has refused to sell the drugs due to opposition to the death penalty. Supporters of the firing squad argue that it provides a more reliable and efficient execution method. Fordham University professor Deborah Denno, a leading expert on capital punishment, has noted that past executions by firing squad have been swift and without complications. “We've had three modern firing squad executions, and they have gone off as intended, and the inmate has died quickly and with dignity,” Denno said following Creech's failed execution. The Idaho Capital Sun reported that the state's proposed firing squad would be mechanized and automated to further reduce potential human error. “At first when you hear firing squad, if you're not familiar with the history, you think ‘well that sounds barbaric' is what I've heard from some,” Skaug said during a recent hearing. “It is certain. It is quick. And it brings justice for the victims and their families in a more expeditious manner than other types.” The bill is advancing just as prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Kohberger, a former criminology Ph.D. student accused of stabbing four University of Idaho students to death in their off-campus home in Moscow. The victims—21-year-olds Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves and 20-year-olds Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin—were found brutally murdered on Nov. 13, 2022. Kohberger, who was arrested at his parents' home in Pennsylvania, faces four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary. His trial is scheduled for later this year. A judge entered not guilty pleas on his behalf at his arraignment. If the death penalty is imposed, and if the bill passes, Kohberger could be among the first to face execution by firing squad under Idaho's new law. #Idaho #BryanKohberger #TrueCrime #DeathPenalty #FiringSquad #Justice #CapitalPunishment Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A former defense attorney for Ted Bundy, John Henry Browne, has drawn intriguing parallels between the notorious serial killer's final actions and the charges against Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in the University of Idaho student murders. Browne, who represented Bundy during his trial, pointed out striking similarities in the actions of both men, particularly in the context of state lines, the death penalty, and their method of execution. Browne noted that Bundy, after escaping from a Colorado prison, fled to Florida where he committed more murders, ultimately landing on death row. “Here's some guy who drives 10 miles from a state where there's no death penalty, [from] a state where there's an active mental health defense, to a state where there is no mental health defense, and the death penalty is very active,” Browne told Fox News Digital. “I think it's just fascinating to me. I don't know what to imply from it, but I know the facts are the facts.” Kohberger, accused of killing four University of Idaho students in November 2022, is facing charges in a state with the death penalty, despite being a resident of Washington, where capital punishment is not enforced. He is accused of crossing state lines from Washington to Idaho, a move Browne sees as eerily reminiscent of Bundy's own actions. Both men allegedly carried out their murders in similar circumstances, with Bundy entering the Chi Omega sorority house through a back door before dawn and attacking several sleeping women, and Kohberger allegedly doing the same at a college house. “Like Bundy's Florida State University Chi Omega sorority house rampage, Kohberger is accused of attacking four college students hours before sunrise, entering through a back door while at least some of the victims were sleeping,” Browne explained. Despite the striking similarities, Browne expressed uncertainty about the prosecution's theory regarding Kohberger's motive, which remains largely unknown. “I have no idea what the state's theory is about why Kohberger chose these people in this house to go kill and leave a knife [sheath] that has DNA on it,” he remarked. Browne suggested that the lack of clarity surrounding the motive would be of significant interest to the jury. While Bundy's case eventually became clearer as a struggle for power rather than sex, Browne noted that the motives in Kohberger's case are still unclear. “As the case became clearer and we're dealing with 30, 40, 50 or more deaths, the motives became pretty clear in Ted's case – that it was a power struggle, much more so than sex,” Browne said, adding that many of Bundy's victims were not sexually assaulted. The defense team for Kohberger, led by attorneys Anne Taylor, Jay Logsdon, and Elisa Massoth, has spent over a year aggressively challenging the case against him. This includes filing motions to strike the death penalty, which was rejected by Boise Judge Steven Hippler. Browne suggested that Kohberger's defense team should continue to fight aggressively. “If I were his lawyers, I would start playing offense – a lot,” he said. Browne also weighed in on Kohberger's defense strategy, suggesting that Kohberger may want to waive his right to a jury trial, a tactic that Bundy used in Utah, although it did not work in his favor. “You could waive the jury, and try the case to the judge,” Browne noted. However, he acknowledged that while the tactic could sometimes be beneficial, it would not be an easy decision in a high-profile case like Kohberger's, where potential jurors may already have preconceived notions. Kohberger is accused of the brutal murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, who were all fatally stabbed in the early hours of Nov. 13, 2022. The suspect's trial is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2025. As Kohberger's defense continues to unfold, Browne's insights into the case offer a unique perspective, drawing on his extensive experience with high-profile criminal cases, including his time representing Bundy. #TedBundy #BryanKohberger #UniversityOfIdahoMurders #CriminalDefense #DeathPenalty #LegalStrategy #TrueCrime Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
