Evening Edition: Searching For Answers For Unexplained Phenomena
They are called UFPs, or "Unexplained Phenomena," and they can range from unidentified flying crafts to paranormal events like telekinesis, the ability to move objects with your mind. The term UFP has replaced 'Unidentified Flying Object', or UFO, to encompass all things possibly witnessed but not explained. In the past few years, Congress has held hearings to hear witness and expert testimony to look into the sometimes unexplained.
FOX’s Chris Foster speaks with Dr. Julia Mossbridge, the executive director of The Institute for Love and Time (TILT), a fellow at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and an associated professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies and the author of 'The Calling: A 12-Week Science-Based Program to Discover, Energize, and Engage Your Soul’s Work,' who has testified before Congress and says modern day science is catching up with UFP theories for possible answers.

Republicans in Congress say they are now working to pass President Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ by the Fourth of July. The President’s request that Congress slash 20% from the 2026 budget has proved to be a challenge, yet House Speaker Mike Johnson says they are still on track to pass this reconciliation bill out of the House by Memorial Day. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) joins the Rundown to discuss the spending bill deadline, GOP plans for a federal budget that meaningfully reduces the national debt, and how eliminating the penny could save taxpayers millions.

However, FOX News Contributor and author of the new book The Affirmative Action Myth, Jason Riley, joins to discuss why racial favoritism has done more harm than good.
