Strait of Hormuz tensions spike gas prices by 50% as the U.S. blockade against Iran enters another phase. The White House ramping up efforts to secure global energy supplies with the 'Project Freedom' initiative, a plan that has the United States Military escorting commercial ships through the Strait. FOX News Chief Political Anchor and Host of Special Report, Bret Baier joins the Rundown to discuss "Project Freedom," the race against the clock for the Trump administration ahead of the midterms, and his new book, The Case for America. Meta is playing hardball in a landmark legal battle that could redefine social media access in America. As New Mexico seeks to declare the company a "public nuisance" and demands safety overhauls—Meta has threatened to pull its platforms from the state entirely. Tech expert Kurt "The CyberGuy" Knutsson joins the Rundown to discuss whether this option is a legitimate technical move or just something that's aimed at rattling lawmakers.   PLUS, commentary by Jonathan Alpert, psychotherapist in New York City and Washington, D.C.
