Business Rundown: The President Opens the Toolbox to Cool Energy Prices Mar 20, 2026

Show notes

The focus remains on the Strait of Hormuz and the volume of oil flowing through it, as the conflict with Iran continues to drive market volatility. Higher energy prices are fanning inflation fears among investors, and have many of them now guessing when the Fed may cut rates next.

However, the Trump administration is working to ease concerns, drawing on its toolbox of tactics to ensure gas prices don't climb too high.

This week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says they are considering “un-sanctioning” Iranian oil, which could help relieve supply worries

Meanwhile, President Trump continues to pressure allies to help secure the Strait and help stabilize global markets Phil Flynn, a Senior Market Analyst and FOX Business Contributor, joins FOX Business Network's Gerri Willis to share his outlook for oil prices in the coming weeks and how much of an impact he thinks the white house's efforts will have on pump prices and Americans' wallets.

The Epic Fury Funding Fight Mar 20, 2026

Show notes

As Operation Epic Fury enters its third week, the Pentagon is preparing to request supplemental funding from Congress—with some reports suggesting the ask will exceed $200 billion. While Speaker Mike Johnson argues that the Department of War must be adequately funded, he is facing pushback from both sides of the aisle. Shannon Bream, anchor of FOX News Sunday, joins The Rundown to discuss why the Trump administration views this funding as a strategic necessity—not only for the mission in Iran but to address munitions concerns. Plus, Shannon weighs in on the political clashes over fluctuating oil prices, Senator Markwayne Mullin's nomination to be the next Homeland Security Secretary, and the impact of the ongoing partial government shutdown.
March Madness is a busy time for sports fans—and sports gamblers. That may explain why March is also Problem Gambling Awareness Month.

She joins The Rundown to discuss her personal connection to the issue and what lawmakers are calling for to support those struggling with addiction.

GOP Pushes To Strip Citizenship From Terrorists Mar 16, 2026

Show notes

There is a new push by President Trump and GOP lawmakers to strip the citizenship of people who commit fraud, serious felonies or join or supply support to terrorist organizations. The 'Stop Citizenship Abuse and Misrepresentation (SCAM) Act', introduced by Sen. Schmitt (R-MO) and Rep. Emmer (R-MN), would facilitate the denaturalization of individuals who commit serious crimes. The call for this new legislation comes after one naturalized citizen, originally from Lebanon, allegedly rammed his vehicle into a Michigan synagogue and another naturalized citizen, originally from Sierra Leone, allegedly opened fire at Old Dominion University, killing one, in separate incidents that happened on the same day this month.

FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Gene Hamilton, the Executive Director/Vice President of America First Legal, and former Senior Counselor to the Secretary of Homeland Security and top aide to the DOJ, who explains how the naturalization process, and denaturalization process, can be reformed to better protect us.
