Summary

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer spent the weekend in Tel Aviv, meeting with Israeli officials as he crafts a bipartisan resolution that aims to financially support Israel and condemn Hamas for their brutal attacks. The White House is also making plans to send flights to the region to rescue Americans, as at least 14 remain unaccounted for. However, as the conflict between Hamas and Israel intensifies and innocent civilians continue to die, what else can the U.S. do to put a stop to this catastrophic violence? On the Rundown, Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) discusses how involved he believes the United States will get in this conflict and why ensuring Iran stays out of it is crucial to deter "a broadening" of this war across the Middle East. He also explains why the Biden Administration diminishing America's energy independence has put us in a vulnerable situation in the midst of violent chaos overseas. As social media evolves, lawmakers are developing new measures to keep users' data safe. New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) proposed legislation last week that limits what minors can view online. The bill prevents those under eighteen from viewing "addictive feeds" without parental consent. Research associate in the Tech Policy Center at the Heritage Foundation, Jake Denton, joins the Rundown to explain how social media companies target user data, how their algorithms work, and why parents need to regain control of what their children do online. Plus, commentary from James Carafano, Heritage Foundation's Vice President for Foreign & Security policy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
