Summary

While tensions rise on the geopolitical front as Russia invades Ukraine, and China remains a prevalent threat to the U.S., internal affairs—such as the federal government’s handling of COVID-19 and lockdowns—are also leaving many Americans feeling anxious about what the future looks like. In the midst of this uncertainty, popular television personality and cardiac surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz is now running to become Pennsylvania’s next Republican Senator as Pat Toomey steps down. Dr. Oz joins the Rundown to discuss his thoughts on current foreign affairs, the U.S. government’s handling of the pandemic, and how he plans to serve the people of Pennsylvania. In the lead-up to its invasion of Ukraine, Russia weaponized social media. The country used multiple platforms to spread propaganda and misinformation. Sites like Facebook were intended to help users stay close with friends, but are now seen as important tools for governments. FOX Business host Maria Bartiromo joins the FOX News Rundown to discuss the phenomenon and what big tech companies should do about it. Bartiromo also discusses her new FOX Nation docuseries, "Killer Apps," which looks at the growing influence of media companies and how they are having a negative impact on many young users. Plus, commentary from Pastor Robert Jeffress of the Dallas First Baptist Church. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
