Why the Superpower Race Is Now An Energy Race

As President Trump heads to Beijing to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week, the stakes for global stability are high. With the conflict in Iran reaching a critical "fork in the road," Senator Dave McCormick (R-PA), member of the Foreign Relations Committee, joins the Rundown to discuss how the U.S. can leverage its energy dominance to secure a win for the American people. Plus, he breaks down the three potential talking points of the summit: the economic strangulation of Iran, the existential race for AI leadership, and the future of global trade.  According to government data, domestic terrorism investigations have surged 350% in the last decade. As high-profile tragedies spark disturbing praise in online echo chambers, the definition of radicalization is shifting. Kevin Branzetti joins the Rundown, he's the CEO of the National Child Protection Task Force and featured expert in the FOX Nation documentary, Radicalized with Sean Hannity. Branzetti explains why young men are uniquely vulnerable to digital "hooks" of belonging and how isolation fuels extremist recruitment. He also offers a roadmap for parents, emphasizing that active engagement and shared time are more powerful than digital surveillance in preventing tragedy.
