President Trump has opened the door to faster research on psychedelics and potential treatment approvals with an executive order focused, in part, on one substance in particular: ibogaine, which has helped some people overcome opioid addiction and treat mental health issues.

However, U.S. research on several psychedelics—including psilocybin, derived from so-called "magic mushrooms"—has faced strict limitations because they are currently in the same federal drug classification as heroin.

While opponents call these substances dangerous, some veterans say these treatments have already saved lives, including Matthew “Whiz” Buckley. A decorated Navy fighter pilot and TOPGUN graduate, Buckley is the founder of the No Fallen Heroes Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping veterans heal through psychedelic therapies.

He recently joined the FOX News Rundown to tell host Lisa Brady about his own experience with ibogaine treatment in Mexico, where it is legal, and what it was like to be in the Oval Office for the recent signing of the President’s executive order.

In this extended conversation, Buckley discusses his hopes for the new policy, the personal impact of his treatment, and his response to those who oppose the use of psychedelics.

We often have to edit our weekday interviews for time, but we wanted you to hear the full conversation. Today, on the FOX News Rundown: Extra, we bring you the complete interview with Matthew “Whiz” Buckley.

For years, it has been an open secret that insider trading is common practice among members of Congress. For over a decade, there have been various efforts to stop it. Now, driven by plummeting approval ratings and a systemic loss of faith in the institution, a growing number of lawmakers are taking a stand. Senator Todd Young (R-IN) joins The Rundown to explain why ending this practice is so difficult and how the perception of rampant insider trading has eroded public trust in our democracy.

Later, Missouri Congressman and member of the House UAP Caucus, Eric Burlison, weighs in on the mystery surrounding the deaths and disappearances of at least 11 researchers and individuals with ties to top-level nuclear propulsion research.

This past week, futurist and bestselling author Jamie Metzl joined Jessica Rosenthal on the FOX News Rundown to discuss the latest advancements in AI, as well as where the technology’s rapid growth collides with ethics and morality.

For example, just because a company can do more with fewer people, should that justify mass layoffs?

Metzl gave his take on the changing job market and addressed the violent reactions from those fearful of AI—including the recent arrest of a man accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail at the home of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The suspect was reportedly found with a manifesto detailing his anger toward the growing influence of artificial intelligence.

Metzl also discussed his new book, The AI 10 Commandments, in which he makes a compelling case for a new moral compass and the urgent need for a collective ethical agreement as we advance our use of artificial intelligence.
