FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation of the Defense of Democracies, who says the Trump Administration has to get more involved between the two countries before a major conflict breaks out.

President Trump is taking a victory lap. In a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed, the President pushed back against critics who predicted an economic "meltdown" following his sweeping tariffs on foreign goods. Instead, he’s calling the current climate an "economic miracle." But is the celebration premature? While the President claims America is now the "hottest" economy in the world, investors are bracing for a looming Supreme Court decision that could dismantle the administration’s entire trade strategy. Today, Taylor Riggs sits down with Mike Murphy, Founder and Managing Partner at Rosecliff, to discuss whether these tariffs are a long-term win for U.S. security or a house of cards waiting for a judicial ruling.

As political tensions continue to rise, some experts warn the constant outrage and fixation may be taking a real toll on Americans’ mental health.

Earlier this week, we took a deep dive into systemic fraud with former police officer and Minnesota fraud investigator Scott Dexter. Dexter recently took his findings to Congress, testifying about the rampant misuse of taxpayer funds he uncovered between 2014 and 2019. While his investigations predate the high-profile COVID-era scandals, Dexter argues that the patterns he found established a troubling "blueprint" for the "rampant" fraud we see today. Dexter spoke with FOX News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal about how certain scams were carried out and why he is confident that the fraud causing so much outrage in Minnesota right now is just the tip of the iceberg—a much bigger nationwide problem affecting various government programs. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full conversation. Today on The FOX News Rundown Extra, we share our full interview with Scott Dexter to explore fraud in Minnesota, the challenges of addressing it, and why the problem extends far beyond the North Star State.
