  • Why Florida Is So Pivotal To American Politics
    It may still be a little early to start talking about the 2022 midterm elections but a lot will be riding on it. With the Democrats only having a slim majority in both the House and Senate, Republicans are looking to flip seats and take back control. The state of Florida has some big races this year, Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is running for re-election as the incumbent and after leading his state through the coronavirus pandemic, Rep. Val Demmings (D-FL) is challenging Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) for his seat in 2022 as well. National Journal Politics Editor and FOX News Radio Political Analyst Josh Kraushaar joins to break down some of the Florida races and where the state could be leaning.
    What a difference a year makes. Last summer, the travel industry was nearly in tatters as COVID-related restrictions and fears kept most people home.

But while the travel industry booms and the overall outlook is good, there are challenges ahead. Roger Dow, President and CEO of U.S. Travel Association, explains despite vacationers spending big bucks again, the lack of business travelers, increasing gas prices, and labor shortages are stalling a full bounce back. 
    Plus, commentary from FOX News Contributor Kat Timpf.

  • FOX News Rundown Extra: An Eyewitness Account Of America's Drug Smuggling Surge
    Former President Trump and Texas Governor Greg Abbott visited the Southern border earlier this week to survey the unfinished border wall and highlight what they say are the failures of the new administration's immigration policy. 
    While President Biden has redirected funding and suspended the previous administration's efforts to construct a wall between the U.S. and Mexico, Governor Abbott recently announced that the state of Texas will provide $250 million to continue building the border wall. 
    One of the governor's motivations behind the move is drugs and how they continue to flow in to the country from Mexico. 
    Before President Trump and Gov. Abbott's trip, Fox Business Network Correspondent Grady Trimble joined host Dave Anthony on the Rundown from the border to detail the influx of migrant activity at the border, the personal accounts of border control officials who say they're not getting enough help from the federal government and the growing concerns about drug smuggling,
    The conversation was too long and we could not include all of it in our original conversation. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire conversation with FOX Business' Grady Trimble and get even an clearer understanding of the border surge and how cartels continue to traffic illegal drugs in to our country.

  • FOX News Rundown EXTRA: A Deep Dive into Race, Politics & Thomas Sowell
    Parents across the U.S. continue to speak out and protest against critical race theory (CRT) being taught in their children's' schools. 
    The controversial and complicated theory regarding racism in our country's institutions has become a political lightning rod too as some Republican-led states are even passing legislation banning CRT from the classroom and arguing it should not be studied by our military either. 
    Earlier this week, Wall Street Journal columnist and FOX News contributor Jason Riley joined host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss the theory, and why he and so many Americans object to how it is be implemented in our schools, corporations and government institutions. 
    However, our original conversation was not solely about CRT.
    Riley recently released his latest book, Maverick: A Biography of Thomas Sowell, where he looks in to the life, work and ideas of America's most influential conservative writers and thinkers. 
    Riley explained how Sowell's life experiences shaped his unique take on issues like race, economics and politics. 
    But because we did not have time to include our entire conversation with Riley, we aired very little of our discussion about Sowell and a handful of others issues related to history, race and equality.
    On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire conversation with author and Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Riley and hear our entire fascinating conversation about race, politics and Thomas Sowell.

He also discusses the honor he felt arguing before the Court...and winning.
