From Washington: Iran And The Risks Of A Broader War

Evening Edition: MAGA and the Debate Over US Intervention with Iran

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 Politics Surrounding U.S. Involvement In Iran

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. In two weeks' time, his administration will make a decision on U.S. involvement. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins to discuss the political repercussions of the President’s decision in the Middle East. The stock market has recovered from April’s big tariff-related plunge, but now there is new uncertainty for Wall Street to focus on when it comes to the Iran-Israel conflict in the Middle East. President of Kaltbaum Capital Management and FOX Business contributor Gary Kaltbaum joins to break down the miraculous recovery made by American businesses in the wake of “Liberation Day” tariffs and the market’s resiliency so far in the face of escalations in the Middle East.

The 'Big, Beautiful Bill' May Be Hitting A Snag

On Monday, the Senate Finance Committee released their revisions to the "Big Beautiful Bill," pushing for deeper tax cuts and lowering the State and Local Tax (SALT) cap back to $10,000. These changes have sparked some friction between Senate and House Republicans, as President Trump warned that failure to pass his bill could lead to "the highest tax increase in history instead of the greatest tax cut in history." Congressman Mike Lawler (R-NY) joins the Rundown to defend raising the SALT cap to $40,000, and he explains the stakes for the U.S. in the Israel-Iran conflict. Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team members come from diverse backgrounds. Some start their careers in the military, while others are civilians who often find themselves in high-stakes situations. Tommy Wehrle, a SWAT officer, sniper, and former Baltimore County police officer, joins the Rundown to discuss his career and how he joined the SWAT ranks as an elite sniper.

Hostage Families Remain Hopeful As Israel Fights Multiple Wars

On October 7th, 2023, Edan Alexander became one of the many Israelis kidnapped by the terror organization Hamas. Originally born in New Jersey, Edan was serving in the Israeli Defense Force when Hamas terrorists ambushed and captured him. For 584 days, Edan was a hostage in the Gaza tunnels until May 12th, 2025. Edan was freed, and his family says their "nightmare came to an end." Edan's father, Adi Alexander, joins the Rundown to describe the terror he and his family experienced while expressing the importance of hope in Israel. Despite the efforts of DOGE and President Trump, America’s debt has continued to grow, and with it, the anxiety over paying it off.

Former Director of the Congressional Budget Office and President of the American Action Forum Doug Holtz-Eakin joins to explain how everyday Americans are impacted when our government takes out loans in the trillions and what realistic options are on the table if we want to lower the deficit.

Evening Edition: President Trump Weighs US Involvement in Iran

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. Vice President at the Lexington Institute and national security expert Dr. Rebecca Grant joins FOX's John Saucier to explain the focus on Iran's nuclear facilities, President Trump's threat against Iran's leader, and the U.S. demanding "unconditional surrender."

The President Ramps Up Immigration Raids In Big Cities

As anti-ICE protests persist in Los Angeles, California Governor Gavin Newsom is working to regain control of the thousands of National Guard and Marine Corps troops deployed in the city.

Meanwhile, President Trump argues that he has saved the City of Angels from being destroyed. Florida Senator Ashley Moody (R-FL) joins the Rundown to discuss the crackdown on illegal immigration and border security. The shocking execution of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband has left politicians across the nation scrambling for answers and assurances about their own personal security details. While authorities have the suspected gunman in custody, this act of political violence strikes an uncomfortably familiar tone to political assassination attempts in previous months. Former federal prosecutor and four-term congressman Trey Gowdy joins the Rundown to analyze the psychological motivations of the suspected killer and addresses the rise in inflammatory rhetoric that may be fueling these acts.
