Mohammed Soliman, the man accused of using a makeshift flamethrower to attack Jewish individuals in Boulder, Colorado, is due back in court on Thursday. Soliman, who overstayed a tourist visa that expired in 2023, faces state charges, including attempted murder, as well as a federal hate crime charge. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) joins the Rundown to condemn the attack and explain how the Biden Administration's lax immigration policies have created a climate where acts of violence similar to what we saw on Sunday are more likely. Additionally, Rep. Jordan weighs in on the debate over the "One Big, Beautiful Bill" and addresses questions surrounding former President Joe Biden's decline. A recent study on fentanyl-related deaths across the United States has shown a 30% decline from 2022 to 2024.

According to recent reports, artificial intelligence models may be exhibiting signs of resistance when instructed to shut down. In one case, an AI system even considered blackmailing the engineers who informed it that it was being replaced. Does this suggest AI could one day pose a threat to humans?

Marks, Director of the Discovery Institute's Bradley Center and Professor at Baylor University, joined host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss recent incidents and whether they suggest or prove that AI can eventually act autonomously and harm humans.

He also described his optimism about how the technology will improve and be more beneficial. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.

This week, a tug-of-war over the Trump administration’s sweeping tariffs imposed using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977. The Court of International Trade blocked President Trump’s tariffs, arguing the act did not give the President unbounded tariff authority. The White House economic team is confident the administration will defeat this legal challenge, with an appeals court already ruling that these tariffs can remain in effect pending the appeal. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to highlight this legal challenge to the President’s tariffs, Elon Musk’s departure from the Trump administration, and investigations being launched into the Biden administration.

Last week, President Trump signed a series of executive orders to dramatically increase and accelerate the construction of nuclear power plants in the United States. One order cuts reactor approval times, another speeds up testing times for new reactor models and a third establishes a joint effort between the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense to build and operate reactors on federal sites. The sweeping orders are largely a part of efforts to meet energy demands of artificial intelligence and domestic production. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with John Kotek, Senior Vice-President for Policy Development and Public Affairs for The Nuclear Energy Institute, who says we need to catch up to countries like China and Russia in nuclear power development.

Elon Musk, former DOGE head and major supporter of President Trump, says he is "disappointed" by the cost the "one big, beautiful bill" passed by Republicans in the House last week.
