As two former state Attorneys General and U.S. Attorneys, the Senators discuss the principles and morals that should define this role, the importance of an independent Judiciary, and more.Follow ⁠⁠⁠Senator Whitehouse⁠⁠⁠ ⁠on⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for all the latest updates on Making the Case.

As New York voters head to the polls, a closely watched fight is underway over the future direction of the Democratic Party. Several Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates are competing in key congressional primaries, with support from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and hopes of expanding the movement's influence beyond local politics. Democratic strategist Yemisi Egbewele joins the Rundown to discuss the DSA's push to elect a new wave of progressive candidates and what their success—or failure—could mean for the party heading into the midterms. At the G7 Summit, President Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and spoke by phone with Russian Leader Vladimir Putin in hopes of brokering peace. One of the strategies he suggested was for the U.S. to increase sanctions on Russian oil as Ukraine continues its counterattacks. Dan Bilak, a volunteer soldier with Ukraine's territorial defense forces and the managing partner for the Ukraine office of the Kinstellar law firm, joins to discuss Ukraine's strategy to end the conflict and where they stand today.

Are we truly alone in the universe, and if we aren't, could humanity actually handle the truth? As public curiosity about extraterrestrial life continues to grow, every unexplained sighting fuels intense speculation about what the government might be hiding. Following President Trump's pledge for greater transparency, the Pentagon is gradually unsealing and releasing classified files on what are now officially called UAPs—Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. Recently on the FOX News Rundown, host Lisa Brady caught up with world-renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson to discuss the interest in UFOs and his new book, Take Me to Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter. The Director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York City breaks down the reality behind the Pentagon's newly released UAP data, evaluates who—or what—might be out there, and examines whether human civilization is intellectually and emotionally prepared for a real alien encounter. Tyson says Earthlings are ready for a "real-life" Disclosure Day and that the government should "just show the alien" if it has one. We often have to cut interviews short during the week due to time constraints, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on The FOX News Rundown Extra, we share our entire interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson to let you hear even more of his thoughts on aliens, artificial intelligence, and space travel.

A controversial memorandum of understanding with Iran and a sudden executive freeze on a top national security nominee have intensified debate over the direction of American foreign policy and governance. Fox News Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins to discuss the growing Republican backlash against the administration's Middle East strategy, the internal mathematical reality facing the "Save America Act" in the Senate, and how Capitol Hill is grappling with the future deployment of artificial intelligence in American classrooms. Plus, former Vice President Mike Pence joins to discuss his new book, What Conservatives Believe: Rediscovering the Conservative Conscience, detailing his concerns over modern appeasement, why he believes the Republican Party must reject the "siren song" of populism, and how the conservative movement can reclaim its core principles heading into the 2026 elections.

This week, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the US and Iran was signed by President Donald Trump after the G7 wrapped up at the Palace of Versailles. The agreement implements a 60-day ceasefire and creates a framework for further negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear ambitions and other outstanding issues. As more details emerged about the plan during the week, critics on both sides of the aisle accused the Trump administration of "appeasement" and giving Iran too much. One of those critics was a key member of the first Trump administration: former Vice President Mike Pence. The former Vice President joined the FOX News Rundown's host Dave Anthony just hours before the President put his signature on the MOU to discuss his concerns about it. While he praised the President's efforts to weaken the regime, he is worried that this deal gives Tehran the feeling that they were not defeated. Pence, who also wrote the new book, What Conservatives Believe: Rediscovering the Conservative Conscience, voiced his concerns about some in the Republican party who are straying away from the party's core values. Finally, Pence discussed the possibility of running for President in 2028.

Roosevelt's conservation legacy reshaped America's relationship with its natural resources. FOX's Tonya J. Powers speaks with Brad Meltzer, author of the book 'I am Teddy Roosevelt,' who shares why he feels teaching our children about American history is so important, and details President Roosevelt's early interest in nature.

Former Vice President Mike Pence joins to discuss his new book, "What Conservatives Believe: Rediscovering the Conservative Conscience," detailing his concerns over modern appeasement, why he believes the Republican Party must reject the "siren song" of populism, and how the conservative movement can reclaim its core principles heading into the 2026 elections.

In episode 8 of a series previewing what a constitutional convention (con-con) - a question on the November 2026 ballot - might address, hosts Guy Gordon and Eric Lupher of the Citizens Research Council of Michigan discuss Article VI - Judicial Branch. Michigan voters are asked every 16 years whether to hold a con-con. The overall takeaway: Article VI works reasonably well structurally, but judicial selection, the partisan/nonpartisan fiction, and especially court funding are issues a convention would almost certainly need to address. The 1963 Constitution Did Well Here The framers get high marks for creating a unified "one court of justice" — a clear hierarchy from district courts up through the Court of Appeals (which didn't exist before 1963) to the Supreme Court, with the Supreme Court given real administrative authority over lower courts. It was a major improvement over the previous patchwork with no clear appeals process. Key Reform Opportunities Judicial selection is broken. Supreme Court justices are nominated by party caucuses but run on a "nonpartisan" ballot — something both hosts call transparently hypocritical. Other states use bipartisan vetting committees before gubernatorial appointment, which could reduce political gamesmanship, including governors rushing to fill vacancies before leaving office. The nonpartisan/partisan contradiction also bleeds into how vacancies get filled strategically, mirroring federal Supreme Court dynamics. Age limits (currently 70) may be worth revisiting given longer lifespans, though cognitive fitness concerns remain valid. Judicial pay is underfunded and uneven — tied to a politicized compensation commission, with some Supreme Court justices earning less than circuit judges in wealthier counties. County clerks serve two masters — local government and the courts — creating administrative confusion. Courts may be better served hiring their own staff. Court funding is the most contentious issue. The state was always intended to be the primary funder of the unified court system but currently covers only 2–4% of costs, leaving local governments to fill the gap. This creates stark inequities between wealthy and poor counties, and pushes courts to raise revenue through fees and fines, which can be barriers to justice and have been ruled unconstitutional. A constitutional amendment explicitly assigning funding responsibility to the state may be necessary to force change.

The United States and Iran have negotiated a deal following a period of military conflict involving U.S. and Israeli airstrikes, leading to a 60-day ceasefire to allow for continued nuclear negotiations. Under the preliminary agreement, shipping will resume through the critical Strait of Hormuz without Iranian interference. The director of Heritage's Center for National Defense Robert Greenway joins the Rundown to discuss the nuances of the negotiations, Iran's crippled enrichment capabilities, and the role of Israel in regional security. Some of the world's most powerful artificial intelligence models have just been abruptly taken offline. Following an emergency export control directive from the Trump administration, AI pioneer Anthropic disabled its new Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models due to severe national security anxieties. The federal intervention came after Amazon officials alerted the White House that a simple "jailbreak" technique allowed users to completely bypass safety guardrails—raising alarms that rogue states or bad actors could exploit software flaws to launch catastrophic cyberattacks. Ohio Republican Senator Jon Husted joins the Rundown to dissect the federal government's high-stakes "pause" on frontier AI and the delicate needle policymakers must thread between out-innovating China and defending domestic infrastructure. Also, Sen. Husted discusses his tough reelection campaign. PLUS, commentary by Joe Abraham the father of Katie Abraham, who was killed in a drunken-driving accident by an illegal alien.

President Trump is in Geneva for the G7 summit, where Vice President Vance is expected to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Islamic Republic of Iran. While the administration touts this as the "peace deal" that ends decades of hostility, the reality is far more nuanced. In truth, it's a 60-day clock to negotiate the world's most dangerous flashpoints: Iran's nuclear ambitions, missile programs, terror proxies, and control over the crucial Strait of Hormuz. Has the U.S. secured a diplomatic breakthrough, or have we blinked first against a fanatical regime? To break down what this deal really means, Victoria Coates, Vice President of the Heritage Foundation's Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy and former Deputy National Security Advisor during the first Trump administration, joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to discuss the deal, Iran's motives, and what comes next.

A welcome silver lining in what has recently been a bleak housing market. Sales of previously owned homes jumped more than expected in May... posting an unexpected three-point-two percent increase month-over-month.

But while that is impressive... mortgage rates remain stubbornly high, even ticking up again this week according to Freddie Mac. So, what should we take away from these mixed signals... and what can we expect in the months ahead?

DOCKET ALERTS:   The Supreme Court rebuffed the Trump Administration's "emergency" request to revoke temporary protected status for half a million Haitian and Syrian nationals.

1. A “Power-Focused” Agenda Democratic proposals are primarily about gaining and preserving political control, not policy issues like the economy, crime, or border security. Examples include: Electoral College reform Supreme Court expansion Redistricting changes Statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico 2. Election System Changes Key proposals discussed: Ending or reforming the Electoral College → reducing influence of smaller states. Multi-member districts → benefiting dense urban (Democratic) areas. Expanding Supreme Court (court-packing) → a way to influence rulings. 3. Judiciary and Legal System Concerns Efforts to impose ethics rules or penalties on judicial nominees are politically motivated. These could be used to pressure or intimidate judges, especially conservatives. 4. Statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico Add additional Democratic-leaning Senate seats Shift the balance of power in Congress 5. Redistricting (Gerrymandering) Debate Historically using gerrymandering to control representation in certain states. Attempting further changes (e.g., Virginia case) to increase their advantage 6. California Political Scenario There are concerns about: A potential situation where two Republicans advance in a statewide race They are willing to intervene if the outcome is unfavorable.
