Ever since Israel launched "Operation Rising Lion" targeting Iran's nuclear and missile programs, there has been debate inside and outside the White House about how much involvement America should have in the conflict. But the split over intervention isn't just among Republicans and Democrats; it is also among President Trump's base. Social media and traditional news outlets have given this divide a lot of attention, but is the so-called unrest among MAGA overblown? Journalist and Free Press columnist Batya Ungar-Sargon joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to discuss the debate over U.S. intervention among Trump supporters and the "mainstream media's" coverage of it.

The latest FOX News poll results show 79% of Americans do believe Iran poses a serious threat, with 78% saying they are “extremely worried about Iran acquiring a nuclear bomb.” President Trump has stressed that while he is not angling for U.S. involvement and he would have preferred they just signed a fair nuclear deal, he firmly believes we cannot allow Tehran to have a nuclear weapon.

Israel has been scoring victories against Iran in what has now been five days of strikes against the Islamic Republic, with the broader goal of destroying their nuclear weapon capabilities. So far the American military has only helped Israel to defend itself from Iranian ballistic missiles, but recent moves from President Trump suggest he is weighing U.S. involvement.

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. Daniel Flesch, a Senior Analyst with the Heritage Foundation, a former IDF soldier, and former Senior Advisor at Israel's Permanent United Nations Mission, joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to discuss Israel's effort to dismantle Iran's nuclear program and whether this operation can lead to regime change.

In this episode, we dive deep into the evolving landscape of predator and wildlife management across the United States. From the reinstatement of black bear hunting in Louisiana to ongoing debates in Florida and Washington, we explore how science, legislation, and public perception shape the future of hunting, conservation, and land use. Join Fred and the crew as they examine the growing tensions between wildlife and human development, the role of hounds and trapping in sustainable management, and why the hunting community must better communicate its conservation value. We also discuss the challenges of managing emerging predators like jaguars and the controversial reintroduction of species into ecosystems. Key Takeaways: Bear Hunting Regulations Vary Widely by State: Oregon and Idaho offer spring bear seasons; Washington does not. Louisiana recently reinstated its black bear hunting season after decades, and Florida is considering reopening its black bear season. Science-Based Wildlife Management Is Essential: Predator-prey dynamics are complex and must be studied to avoid unintended consequences. Reintroduction of species, such as wolves and mountain lions, can disrupt existing ecosystems. Trapping and Hound Hunting Remain Valuable Tools: Used for selective predator control and critical data collection. Legislative efforts continue to impact their use across states. Legislation and Public Perception Drive Wildlife Policy: Conservation decisions are often shaped more by emotion than by science. The hunting community must better advocate for its role in sustainable wildlife management.
