Summary

Russian officials have confirmed that the chief of the Russian Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, was among the ten people killed in a plane crash last week. This comes two months after Prigozhin led an insurrection against Russian President Vladimir Putin, leading many to believe it was an intentional hit by Putin, despite the Kremlin claiming otherwise. This week in the U.S., Americans honor the two-year anniversary of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the attack at the airport in Kabul that led to the death of 13 service members. The Gold Star families who lost loved ones continue calling for transparency & accountability from the White House, as many never learned how their loved ones passed or why the withdrawal ended in tragedy. On the Rundown, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) explains how he is working with families to gain clarity & ensure similar disasters can be avoided. He also shares his thoughts on the fatal plane crash and why the claim that Prigozhin’s death was accidental is “laughable.” Cancer diagnoses among young Americans are on the rise. Many recent studies have found that for people under the age of 50, the rate of cancer diagnoses is going up, and despite zeroing in on this concerning trend, doctors are struggling to figure out why this is happening. One study looked at cancer diagnoses between 2010 and 2019 and found that people are approximately 15 percent more likely to be diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancers than they were a decade ago, thus making it the fastest-growing type of cancer amongst young people. FOX News Medical Contributor and Professor at NYU Langone Health, Dr. Marc Siegel, joins the Rundown to discuss possible causes for the spike, encourage Americans to start screening for cancer at a young age, and analyze the future of cancer treatment.
