Homeownership has been the foundation of the American Dream for generations, and a key part to building wealth and stability.

Business Rundown: From Courtroom to Kitchen ... How CPK Changed the Way America Eats

Today, the barbecue chicken pizza is a menu staple found in restaurants everywhere. But when California Pizza Kitchen introduced it four decades ago, it changed the way America thought about pizza and reshaped the restaurant industry. The "CPK" brand quickly became a household name with its modern, casual dining concept. What started as a single restaurant in Beverly Hills soon grew into a global footprint. The founders were prosecutors-turned-entrepreneurs who took a major risk with their revolutionary restaurant idea. Co-founder of California Pizza Kitchen, Rick Rosenfield, joins FBN’s Lydia Hu to pull back the curtain on the triumphs, shortcomings, and defining risks behind the beloved brand. Rosenfield also discusses his upcoming book, “The California Pizza Kitchen Story: How Two Federal Prosecutors Changed The Way America Eats Pizza.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Upcoming Supreme Court Rulings That Could Reshape The Midterms—and America

As the Supreme Court prepares for a flurry of major opinions in June, legal experts are closely watching high-stakes cases that could reshape executive power, civil rights, and constitutional law. Shannon Bream, FOX News chief legal analyst and Fox News Sunday anchor, joins to discuss upcoming decisions on birthright citizenship, the President's authority to fire federal agency officials, and state bans on transgender athletes. Later, she unpacks the ongoing legal battle over Alabama's congressional maps and why conservative justices are signaling they have no plans to retire. President Trump has pledged broader transparency, even when it comes to declassifying UAP files—or as many of us know them, UFOs. Twice this month, the Trump administration began unsealing United States UFO files officially known as the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters or PURSUE. The files reveal images and other documents related to investigations into unidentified anomalous phenomena. However, the unprecedented release still has many believers questioning the data, creating more questions than answers. Ryan Graves is a former Navy F-18 pilot and co-founder of Americans for Safe Aerospace, who testified before Congress back in 2023 about his encounters with UAPs. Graves joins FOX News’ Peter Doocy to discuss the recent release of "UFO documents," what he has learned from them, and what can be done by the government to shed more light on the mystery.

Evening Edition: Possible US-Iran Deal Reached

U.S. and Iranian negotiators have possibly reached an agreement on a 60-day memorandum of understanding extending the current ceasefire and launching negotiations on Iran's nuclear program. The deal still needs President Trump's approval with the major sticking point for both sides remaining Iran's nuclear capability. President Trump has many times reiterated that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, a stance he sees as a positive for the whole world. FOX’s John Saucier speaks with Ashley Webster, FOX Business Channel correspondent reporting from Tel Aviv, who says the deal is not set in stone just yet.

Sanctuary Cities, Dalilah's Law, And The Midterm Border Fight

The power of the MAGA endorsement strikes again following Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s decisive runoff victory, signaling a significant shift in the Republican landscape as the fight for Congressional control continues. Senator Jim Banks (R-IN) joins the Rundown to discuss whether this primary momentum can be sustained through November. Plus, he breaks down his legislative push for the "Delilah Law," which would restrict commercial driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants, and a bold proposal from the DHS secretary to pull federal customs agents from sanctuary city airports as a form of jurisdictional retaliation. The upcoming hurricane season is bringing a mix of relief and uncertainty as rare global weather patterns clash with record ocean warmth. FOX Weather Meteorologist Ian Oliver joins to discuss NOAA's recent predictions for a quieter-than-usual year, the inner workings of a massive Pacific warming trend that acts as a natural shield against storm development, and how groundbreaking AI technology is being used to better predict severe weather and protect coastal communities.

Evening Edition: U.S.-Iran Talks Reach Critical Stage

Iran has accused the U.S. of a “grave violations” of the fragile ceasefire after U.S. defensive strikes in southern Iran and near the Strait of Hormuz. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said diplomacy remains possible, but Tehran continues to signal distrust over key issues. And Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned that its forces are “lying in wait” if the President Trump orders the resumption of combat operations, with the outlook for a potential deal remaining uncertain. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with David Schenker, Taube Senior Fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy and former Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, who says there are multiple signs Iran's economy is faltering, but also hints that could suggest the regime is still in control of its population.

The Unprecedented Threats to President Trump

After another violent incident near the White House over the holiday weekend, new questions are being raised about the safety of President Trump and the growing threats surrounding the presidency. With this marking the second attempted attack in just one month, concerns are intensifying over whether current security measures are enough. New York Republican Congressman Andrew Garbarino, Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, joins the Rundown to discuss why these threats seem to be escalating and whether we have the resources needed to keep everyone in D.C. safe. As health officials monitor a string of recent viral outbreaks across the globe, concern is growing over the threat of highly infectious diseases spreading past international borders. Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a physician at the Walter Reed Medical Center, joins to discuss the current Ebola outbreak in Africa, the deep mistrust and lack of resources hampering containment efforts, and how strict U.S. screening protocols and low transmission rates are keeping the risk to Americans low.

Evening Edition: 'Taylor Force Act' Reinstated, Penalizes PA's 'Pay For Slay' Program

The U.S. State Department reached a new settlement committing to strictly enforce the Taylor Force Act, a measure Congress first passed in 2018, which bans U.S. economic aid to the Palestinian Authority until they end their "pay-for-slay" policies that compensate imprisoned terrorists or their families. The Palestinian Authority "Pay-for-Slay" policy gained wide public attention when Taylor Force, a West Point graduate who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, was savagely knifed to death by a Palestinian terrorist on March 8, 2016, while on a tour of Israel. This new settlement is to remain in effect for 10 years. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Stuart Force, father of Taylor Force, who says his son would be proud of the efforts to stop American taxpayer money from getting to terrorists.

Lone Star Showdown: Cornyn vs. The MAGA Endorsement

Texas voters head to the polls for a high-stakes Republican Senate runoff that could test President Trump’s influence once again. Senator John Cornyn is fighting to fend off a Trump-endorsed challenge from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as both candidates argue they are best positioned to keep the seat in Republican hands ahead of November. With several recent GOP incumbents losing primaries across the country, the outcome could signal how much sway the President still holds within the party heading into the midterms. University of Texas Professor and FOX News Decision Desk member Daron Shaw joins the Rundown to break down the political stakes in Texas, and what the race could mean for Republicans nationwide. Mental health awareness has helped reduce stigma and encouraged more people to seek support, but some experts warn the culture surrounding therapy may be creating new problems. Psychotherapist and author Jonathan Alpert joins the Rundown to discuss his new book, Therapy Nation, and why he believes Americans are becoming too quick to identify with mental health struggles instead of working through them.
