The Federal Reserve will meet today to discuss whether or not to approve another rate hike in an effort to tamp down on the country's high inflation rates. The meeting comes following a hearing from the Senate Finance Committee last week, in which Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen attempted to reassure lawmakers that the country's banking system was stable following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. Meanwhile, many GOP lawmakers have criticized President Biden's lack of a plan for social security in his latest budget proposal. Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) joins the Rundown to discuss his concerns about the country's banks, inflation and interest rates, and the future of social security.

Spring break season for many Americans may typically involve a trip to Mexico. However, following prominent cases of violent crime caused by cartels in that region, U.S. authorities are issuing additional travel alerts warning about "potentially dangerous situations" that may await travelers headed south of the border. After four Americans in Matamoros, Mexico, were kidnapped by a cartel and two of them were killed, former U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Earl Anthony Wayne says Americans should look closely at the safety travel advisories issued by the State Department because it could end up saving lives. He joins the podcast to break down safety concerns for Americans traveling to Mexico and the need for collaboration between the U.S. and Mexico to effectively handle the threats posed by cartels.

Over the weekend, former President Donald Trump declared on social media that he expects to be arrested on Tuesday and issued a call for action from his supporters, encouraging them to protest this. Multiple reports suggest that law enforcement agencies have been preparing for a potential Trump indictment in New York in the case of the hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
While the criminal charges are not certain, legal experts have cast doubt on the legal precedent for indicting the former President. FOX's Eben Brown spoke with former assistant district attorney, criminal defense attorney, and founder of Holloway Law Group Phillip Holloway to break down the aspects of this potential indictment and why he believes the Manhattan D.A. pursuing this doesn't have the authority or legal precedent.

Russia's aggression toward Ukraine has persisted for over a year now, but Russian forces have recently turned their hostility toward Americans. The Pentagon has released footage of a Russian fighter jet colliding with an American drone over the Black Sea this past Tuesday. Though Russia has denied that its planes made contact with the drone, the video evidence is undeniable to most of the world -- leaving many officials like U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin suspicious of this potential "escalation." On the Rundown, Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) joins to discuss why "we need to be mindful" of the growing relationship between China & Russia as President Xi Jinping gears up to visit Moscow and how he believes the Biden Administration should ensure the U.S. military has proper funding and resources to stand against these "flagrant international criminals." He also discusses his recent trip to the Southern border and why he believes the President has failed to use American taxpayer dollars efficiently as the U.S. border remains insecure.
Today marks 20 years since the U.S. ground invasion of the Iraq War. It was on this day in March 2003 that President George W. Bush began an American military operation in Iraq based on intelligence that said Iraq's dictator Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. Eventually, coalition forces were able to defeat the Iraqi Army, but the vacuum created would cause strife in the region for years to come. Retired Major General Vinny Boles was part of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and he joins the podcast to explain the factors that made the insurgency a formidable foe, how America's strategy in the war changed, and the importance of an exit strategy when engaging in armed conflict.

Last week marked 20 years since Elizabeth Smart's rescue. In 2003, the world was shocked to learn the 14-year-old girl was alive after spending nine months being held captive by the kidnappers who abducted her from her bedroom in Salt Lake City, Utah.

He also describes the moment it was discovered that Elizabeth Smart was found alive and highlights how Elizabeth and her family continue to advocate for women, girls, and abuse victims.
