In a heated interview with FOX's Jesse Watters, Abdul El-Sayed, the far-left Michigan Senate candidate struggled to give straight answers, dodging questions about men in women’s sports and replacing the 2nd Amendment, while backing Medicare for All, and even volunteering Hasan Piker’s name. El-Sayed also sparked controversy on social media after he compared Sharia law, law based on religious texts, to Catholic Church law and governance. Will Michigan voters embrace these ideas or shun El-Sayed in November? FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Gerson Moreno-Riano, the President of Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, who says if Michigan voters could get more direct answers from El-Sayed, they won't be willing to support him.

To help bring down high beef prices, President Trump announced plans to boost imports by temporarily allowing up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef into the U.S. tariff-free. Soaring costs for burgers, steaks, and other products stem from persistent inflation and a nationwide cattle shortage—pressures further compounded by major industry shifts, including Tyson Foods closing facilities in Illinois and Utah and selling a location in Washington. Before the President’s announcement, FOX News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal spoke with Nate Rempe, President and CEO of Omaha Steaks, and Steve Lucie, a fifth-generation farmer in Illinois. They discussed the cattle shortage, pressures on the industry, and Tyson Foods—one of the "Big Four" meatpacking companies—ending operations at its Joslin, Illinois beef facility and its Eagle Mountain, Utah case-ready facility, as well as selling a facility in Pasco, Washington. Both guests share their perspectives on the challenges facing the beef industry and what they say can be done to help consumers and producers alike.
