The Golden State Stakes: A California Representative Dissects the Fight for a Congressional Majority

As California and five other states prepare for highly anticipated primary elections, political observers are closely watching the shifting dynamics of the state's unique top two open primary system. Rep. Kevin Kiley (I-CA), running for the first time as an independent, joins to discuss the top issues facing voters, including a skyrocketing cost of living, homelessness, and economic challenges. He also weighs in on why he proposed a bill to ban mid-decade congressional redistricting in an effort to combat partisan gerrymandering and stop the growing polarization of American politics. Military service is different for each member and the lessons learned are equally as unique. Many share similar themes, however, such as leadership and empathy as they answer the call to serve. Marine Veteran AJ Pasciuti joins the Rundown to discuss what he learned during his time in the military and how it applies to everyday life. That’s all part of his new book, “Darkhorse: Harnessing Hidden Potential in War and Life.”   Plus, commentary from FOX News Legal Analyst, Gregg Jarrett  Photo Credit: Adobe Stock Learn more about your ad choices.

Extra: 'Therapy Nation' and America's Addiction to Treatment

It's not your imagination: a lot of people are in therapy right now and talking about it. Mental health awareness has come a long way in recent decades, reducing stigma and encouraging more people to seek care. But now, with therapy available on demand, there is growing concern about patients following advice they find online or on social media. People sometimes misdiagnose themselves or wrongly attach clinical labels to others. Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert calls it "therapy culture," and he recently joined FOX News Rundown host Lisa Brady to discuss this troubling trend. He talks about his new book, 'Therapy Nation: How America Got Hooked on Therapy and Why It's Left Us More Anxious and Divided,' warning against people falling into a cycle of never-ending treatment in which they only feel better in the moment rather than actually getting better. Alpert also explains how this culture is reshaping the way we view ourselves and one another, creating ripple effects across the country. We often have to cut our interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear this conversation in its entirety. Today on the FOX News Rundown Extra, we share our full interview with psychotherapist and author Jonathan Alpert Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

From Washington: Trump Currency & Economic Uncertainty

Since 1866, inking a living person’s likeness on legal U.S. tender has been strictly forbidden, but a bill introduced back in February aims to change that, and the Treasury has a $250 note featuring President Trump’s face ready to go if it passes into law. FOX Business White House Correspondent Edward Lawrence joins the Rundown to explain what’s going on with the bill and pull back the curtain on the Treasury’s economic outlook amid rising energy costs and inflation.

Business Rundown: From Courtroom to Kitchen ... How CPK Changed the Way America Eats

Today, the barbecue chicken pizza is a menu staple found in restaurants everywhere. But when California Pizza Kitchen introduced it four decades ago, it changed the way America thought about pizza and reshaped the restaurant industry. The "CPK" brand quickly became a household name with its modern, casual dining concept. What started as a single restaurant in Beverly Hills soon grew into a global footprint. The founders were prosecutors-turned-entrepreneurs who took a major risk with their revolutionary restaurant idea. Co-founder of California Pizza Kitchen, Rick Rosenfield, joins FBN’s Lydia Hu to pull back the curtain on the triumphs, shortcomings, and defining risks behind the beloved brand. Rosenfield also discusses his upcoming book, “The California Pizza Kitchen Story: How Two Federal Prosecutors Changed The Way America Eats Pizza.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Upcoming Supreme Court Rulings That Could Reshape The Midterms—and America

As the Supreme Court prepares for a flurry of major opinions in June, legal experts are closely watching high-stakes cases that could reshape executive power, civil rights, and constitutional law. Shannon Bream, FOX News chief legal analyst and Fox News Sunday anchor, joins to discuss upcoming decisions on birthright citizenship, the President's authority to fire federal agency officials, and state bans on transgender athletes. Later, she unpacks the ongoing legal battle over Alabama's congressional maps and why conservative justices are signaling they have no plans to retire. President Trump has pledged broader transparency, even when it comes to declassifying UAP files—or as many of us know them, UFOs. Twice this month, the Trump administration began unsealing United States UFO files officially known as the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters or PURSUE. The files reveal images and other documents related to investigations into unidentified anomalous phenomena. However, the unprecedented release still has many believers questioning the data, creating more questions than answers. Ryan Graves is a former Navy F-18 pilot and co-founder of Americans for Safe Aerospace, who testified before Congress back in 2023 about his encounters with UAPs. Graves joins FOX News’ Peter Doocy to discuss the recent release of "UFO documents," what he has learned from them, and what can be done by the government to shed more light on the mystery.
