It has been over two weeks since the U.S. Navy began a blockade of Iranian ports, and now millions in Iran have been pushed into poverty as the country’s economy crumbles. It also appears the blockade is causing collateral damage back home with oil prices surging to their highest levels in the past four years. over concern of renewed U.S. military strikes and an extension of the blockade. Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates is leaving OPEC, marking a major shift in global energy politics.  

 

FOX’s Jonathan Savage speaks with Max Meizlish, research fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, and previously worked at the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), who says the blockade is working, severely impacting Iran's economy, but even more can be done to freeze their oil revenue.

The Supreme Court has struck down Louisiana's redrawn congressional map in a decision that could have a massive impact on this year's midterm elections and the current nationwide redistricting fight. While a lower court previously mandated a second Black-majority district to satisfy Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the High Court’s 6-3 majority ruled that the state went too far in prioritizing race, labeling it an "unconstitutional" racial gerrymander. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill joins us to discuss why she believes the court has finally "harmonized" the law with the Constitution and how this ruling affects other states seeking to reshape their voting boundaries.

Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted for a second time by the Trump administration. This time, he is accused of using seashells on a beach to communicate a threat toward the President. Criminal defense attorney Andrew Cherkasky joins to discuss the indictment related to the "86-47" post, the First Amendment questions the case raises, and the significant challenges prosecutors will face. Plus, he breaks down the case against Cole Allen—the man charged with the attempted assassination of President Trump last weekend—and why an insanity defense is unlikely to succeed.

The Correspondents’ Dinner Shooting: A Firsthand Account

President Trump has opened the door to faster research on psychedelics and potential treatment approvals with an executive order focused, in part, on one substance in particular: ibogaine, which has helped some people overcome opioid addiction and treat mental health issues.

However, U.S. research on several psychedelics—including psilocybin, derived from so-called "magic mushrooms"—has faced strict limitations because they are currently in the same federal drug classification as heroin.

While opponents call these substances dangerous, some veterans say these treatments have already saved lives, including Matthew “Whiz” Buckley. A decorated Navy fighter pilot and TOPGUN graduate, Buckley is the founder of the No Fallen Heroes Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping veterans heal through psychedelic therapies.

He recently joined the FOX News Rundown to tell host Lisa Brady about his own experience with ibogaine treatment in Mexico, where it is legal, and what it was like to be in the Oval Office for the recent signing of the President’s executive order.

In this extended conversation, Buckley discusses his hopes for the new policy, the personal impact of his treatment, and his response to those who oppose the use of psychedelics.

We often have to edit our weekday interviews for time, but we wanted you to hear the full conversation. Today, on the FOX News Rundown: Extra, we bring you the complete interview with Matthew “Whiz” Buckley.

Extra: Why A Navy TOPGUN Pilot is Fighting for Psychedelic Therapy

For years, it has been an open secret that insider trading is common practice among members of Congress. For over a decade, there have been various efforts to stop it. Now, driven by plummeting approval ratings and a systemic loss of faith in the institution, a growing number of lawmakers are taking a stand. Senator Todd Young (R-IN) joins The Rundown to explain why ending this practice is so difficult and how the perception of rampant insider trading has eroded public trust in our democracy.

Later, Missouri Congressman and member of the House UAP Caucus, Eric Burlison, weighs in on the mystery surrounding the deaths and disappearances of at least 11 researchers and individuals with ties to top-level nuclear propulsion research.

From Washington: The Fight to End Insider Trading in Congress

This past week, futurist and bestselling author Jamie Metzl joined Jessica Rosenthal on the FOX News Rundown to discuss the latest advancements in AI, as well as where the technology’s rapid growth collides with ethics and morality.

For example, just because a company can do more with fewer people, should that justify mass layoffs? 

Metzl gave his take on the changing job market and addressed the violent reactions from those fearful of AI—including the recent arrest of a man accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail at the home of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The suspect was reportedly found with a manifesto detailing his anger toward the growing influence of artificial intelligence.

Metzl also discussed his new book, The AI 10 Commandments, in which he makes a compelling case for a new moral compass and the urgent need for a collective ethical agreement as we advance our use of artificial intelligence.

From Washington: Ethics Scandals Rock Congress

Violent conflicts like the ones currently happening in the Mideast usually have the fallout of misinformation and disinformation from many sides. Since the terror attacks of October 7th on Israel, Jews across the world have been subjected to a sharp rise in antisemitism being fueled by online information that has become increasingly harder to discern between truth and propaganda. And besides hateful untrue rhetoric, there are deadly consequences to this antisemitism with attacks on the Jewish communities in the United Sates that authorities have connected to radicalization by terror groups.

    

FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Roy Altman, lawyer and jurist who serves as a United States district judge for the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, and author of 'Israel on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence and the Law', out April 28th, who explains how online disinformation fuels antisemitism across the world, and how to evaluate modern political claims using legal reasoning.

Business Rundown: President Trump’s Move to Cushion Crude Prices

This week, the battle for House control shifts to Florida as Governor DeSantis calls a special session to counter a recent Virginia constitutional amendment that could give Democrats four additional seats.

A Confidence Crisis At The Supreme Court?

President Trump extends the ceasefire with Iran, but only for three to five days according to the White House. President Trump announced the extension as the original ceasefire was set to expire Tuesday night.

If the ceasefire ends without a deal, the President has promised to destroy Iran's energy and transportation infrastructure.  



FOX’s John Saucier speaks with Matt Finn, FOX News Correspondent reporting from Islamabad, Pakistan, who says discussions have been difficult because Iran's government is so 'fractured.'

Iran Seizes Ships In Hormuz After Ceasefire Extended

As questions mount over the mysterious disappearances and deaths among high-level researchers, national security concerns have been sparked, and the focus now shifts to whether or not these cases are directly linked to United States classified aerospace and weapons programs. Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison joins to discuss why the suspicious suicide of a former intelligence officer and the unexplained vanishing of researchers from NASA and the Los Alamos National Laboratory have prompted a formal request for an FBI investigation into the occurrences.
