The Fox News Rundown

After the CDC announced plans to terminate Title 42 in early April, many Americans expressed concerns that the U.S. may be ill-prepared to welcome an influx of migrants into the country. To prevent potential chaos at the border, U.S. District Judge Robert Summerhays has issued an injunction that prohibits the Biden Administration from lifting Title 42 on May 23rd, the day the CDC initially planned to end it. Today, Florida Republican Congressman Michael Waltz joins the Rundown to discuss why the border crisis is quickly becoming a prominent national security threat, and how prematurely lifting Title 42 could do harm to every state despite its intent to regulate crossings at the southern border. He also touches on how the baby formula shortage is affecting American families from his perspective as the father of a four-month-old son. 

UFOs are not a laughing matter. That was the message last week after Congress held its first hearing on the subject since the 1960s. Both lawmakers and the Pentagon now say the videos of unidentified aerial phenomena are real and should be taken seriously. Whether the objects are from another world or a foreign adversary, there is growing urgency to identify who created them. Retired four-star general David Perkins joins the Rundown to explain what kind of aircrafts they could be and why UAPs could pose a threat to our country’s national security.

It has been nearly three months since Ukraine was invaded by Russia.

Thousands are dead, cities are destroyed and there appears to be no resolution in sight.

The two key figures in the conflict are Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladmir Putin.

Recently, on the FOX News Rundown: War on Ukraine podcast, host Eben Brown spoke to former DIA intelligence officer Rebekah Koffler to help get a better understanding of what motivates both leaders and how they rose to power.

Koffler, who is the author of "Putin's Playbook: Russia's Secret Plan To Defeat America," has also written the foreword to the new book, "Zelensky: The Unlikely Ukrainian Hero." She gave incredible insight into both men's backgrounds and why she thinks Russia's invasion has been so disastrous for Putin so far.

Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the conversation in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear the entire discussion with author Rebekah Koffler and hear more of her perspective on the Ukraine conflict and the two men at the center of it.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's rise to power in no small part was made possible by him making deals with the wealthiest of Russia's elite or, as they are commonly known as, the 'oligarchs'. Recent murders could show Putin has targeted individual oligarchs that may not have fully supported the invasion of Ukraine. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with John O'Neill and Sarah C. Wynne, authors of 'The Dancer and The Devil: Stalin, Pavlova and the Road to the Great Pandemic', about who the Russian 'oligarchy' is and how Putin uses violence to keep them under his control.

Inflation and supply chain issues continue to drive up prices for Americans and agriculture is a sector that has been particularly hard hit. U.S. farmers growing many of the grocery store staples are being hit with higher costs for fuel, fertilizer, and chemicals. All of these costs are complicating business for farmers across the country while pushing American grocery bills up nearly 10 percent since last year. Danny Hicks manages his family’s Sunnycrest Farm in Londonderry, New Hampshire. He joins the Rundown to explain how high prices for fuel, chemicals and fertilizers are making it difficult for him and fellow farmers to break even operating their business and why a recession poses an existential threat to the survival of smaller farms.

Last Saturday, an 18-year-old gunman opened fire in a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, carrying out a racially motivated attack that killed ten people and left three others injured, most of which were Black. Another mass shooting took place in Laguna Woods, California. A Chinese citizen opened fire in that attack targeting Taiwanese people, killing one and wounding five others. These attacks are the most recent forms of racially motivated violence as a rise in hate crime incidents has been recorded so far in 2022. Scott Shepherd was once a member of the Ku Klux Klan. He joins the Rundown to discuss how his abusive upbringing led him down that path, how he abandoned his hateful and racist ideology, and why he believes hate crimes are still so persistent in the U.S.
