Renewed Calls To Quell Political Violence
On Saturday evening, thousands congregated in Washington D.C. to celebrate 250 years of the U.S. Army; this occurred amidst an escalated military conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Iran. On Thursday night, Israel made a strike on the Iranian regime and its nuclear sites; continuing strikes between the two nations have followed. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-09) joined the Rundown to discuss attending the army parade and his concern for Americans' and politicians' safety. Earlier this month, President Donald Trump signed the 'Unleashing American Drone Dominance' executive order to enshrine American leadership in the development, commercialization, and export of drones. Drones can be used in all facets of life, and Michael Healander, founder and CEO of Airspace Link, joins to break down the executive order and share why drones are beneficial.

Israel condemns black partition walls around its pavilions at Paris Air Show
PARIS (AP) — Israel's Ministry of Defense has condemned the erection of black partition walls around its defense industry pavilions at the Paris Air Show, calling the move 'outrageous and unprecedented' and demanding an immediate reversal by French authorities and event organizers. The walls appeared overnight ahead of the air show's opening Monday, visually isolating Israeli booths from dozens of other international exhibitors. Israeli officials say the move followed a last-minute demand from organizers to remove offensive weapons systems from display — a request they rejected. 'The French are hiding behind supposedly political considerations to exclude Israeli offensive weapons from an international exhibition — weapons that compete with French industries,' the ministry said in a statement Monday, calling the action 'ugly and improper.' A French appeals court ruled Friday against activist groups who sought to block Israeli companies from participating in the show due to the war in Gaza. Despite the legal green light, Israel says it was effectively censored. Sylvain Pavillet, a lawyer working with the air show organizers, said the final decision on who is allowed to exhibit lies with the French government, not the show itself. 'The fair is not the one who decides which countries are allowed to go to the show or not,' he told The Associated Press. 'That decision belongs to the government. We are not a state. We are a commercial company.' The Paris Air Show, held at Le Bourget Airport, is one of the world's largest and most prestigious events for the aerospace and defense industry.

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures rise, oil slips with Israel-Iran strikes in focus
US stock futures climbed on Monday, eyeing a potential rebound as the shockwaves of the Israel-Iran conflict started to recede despite an exchange of missile strikes throughout the weekend. Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F) and the S&P 500 (ES=F) both rose aroung 0.4%, while contracts tied to the Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) gained 0.5%. The cautious optimism follows a bruising Friday session that saw the Dow plunge more than 700 points in a broad risk-off move. Meanwhile, oil (CL=F) prices edged lower after jumping in the wake of the weekend attacks, having surged last week to their highest levels since January. The geopolitical flare-up comes at a delicate moment for markets already buffeted by tariff insecurity. Friday's selloff dragged the major US indexes into negative territory for the week. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs Now investors are regaining some appetite for risk amid rising optimism that the conflict won't spill over into a broader regional crisis. President Trump said on Sunday there's a "good chance" of an Israel-Iran peace deal, but the hostilities may need to play out first. 'Sometimes they have to fight it out, but we're going to see what happens,' he told reporters. A measure of calm is also returning to the oil market, rattled by fears of disruption to the global energy supply. Tehran has hinted it may close the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for roughly one-fifth of the world's oil. Crude oil jumped out of the gate on Sunday evening after the dramatic weekend of retaliatory strikes targeting energy infrastructure on both sides. West Texas Intermediate (CL=F) futures spiking over 6% to top $76 a barrel, while Brent crude (BZ=F) saw a similar move to just below $78 a barrel. But futures turned lower on Monday, down almost 1% to take Brent below $74 a barrel and WTI around $72 a barrel. Gold (GC=F) prices also pulled back, having rallied alongside oil as it drew safe-haven flows amid rising volatility. The precious metal traded lower at around $3,435 an ounce. Looking ahead, investors will be parsing fresh data on Monday from the New York Fed's Empire State Manufacturing Survey for signs of economic resilience, or weakness, ahead of Wednesday's interest rate decision from the Federal Reserve. Markets overwhelmingly expect the Fed to hold rates steady. However, climbing oil prices could complicate the Fed's path forward on inflation. While President Trump has maintained pressure on Chair Jerome Powell to cut rates, current market dynamics may leave little room to budge. Greetings from Cannes Lions, where I am stationed for the week talking with top advertising execs, sports stars and CEOs. Tough assignment! I have found this event to be very useful each year in helping to understand the economy into year end. You would be surprised how forward-looking market spend trends are at the world's biggest companies. To that end, I just got off set with Disney's (DIS) president of global advertising Rita Ferro — one of the top names in the marketing industry. I asked her if a slowing US economy and general macro volatility were beginning to chip away at ad budgets. She wasn't super bullish about ad spending — more cautiously optimistic. Businesses are buying ads once they see they need them, rather than making large commitments on ad spend early, she suggested. "I think people are being very intentional where they spend money," Ferro tells me. "I would say they're [the data points she watches] not recessionary. We see much closer in buying." Gold prices rose as the conflict erupting between Israel and Iran pushed investors toward safe-haven assets in a broader risk-off move. Bloomberg reports: Read more here. Oil continues to gain as Israel and Iran enter the fourth consecutive day of missile strikes between the warring nations. Iran is the third largest oil producer in OPEC+ and controls the Strait of Hormuz, an essential supply route for oil worldwide. Bloomberg reports: Read more here.
