The Fox News Rundown

America is gearing up for its landmark 250th anniversary this Fourth of July. “FOX & Friends” co-host Steve Doocy joins Peter Doocy to share his insights from his tour across multiple states, hitting small towns in Missouri, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Maryland. The father-son duo dive into polls that reveal a national decline in patriotism, as small towns embody optimism, civic pride, and historic parallels that define the American Spirit.

As the nation heads into the Fourth of July weekend and prepares to mark the "America 250" milestone , historians continue to separate fact from fiction regarding the true story of American independence. Ray Raphael, a prominent American Revolution historian and author , joins to discuss the backstory of the Declaration of Independence , John Adams’ firm conviction that July 2nd would be the true anniversary , and why the historic document was actually a group project driven by a groundswell of public rebellion rather than a few men acting alone.

America's 250th Anniversary is a chance to celebrate the traditions and rituals that have impacted out country, like - the American pub. From the nation’s earliest days, even before the official draft of 'The Constitution', taverns have been a place where ideas are exchanged, and communities and friendships have been built. Now, the American 'watering hole' has been facing some obstacles with younger generations drinking less, and having little interest in face to face interaction.

FOX’s John Saucier speaks with Jon Taffer, Executive Producer of Bar Rescue', owner of 'Taffer's Tavern', and creator of 'Taffer's Browned Butter Bourbon', about the importance of the first American pubs, and why soccer fans from around the world have fallen in love with them.

Lines at Russian gas stations are growing, fuel rationing has been put into effect in many regions of the country, and even President Putin admits the problem will get worse. This, after several months of Ukrainian attacks that have set oil refineries ablaze and started choking supplies for motorists across the country. Also, a new report says new Russian recruits have a life expectancy of just 20 on the frontlines, and an expected overall lifespan of 10 days to 3 weeks in combat, showing how quickly Putin’s troops are being taken out by Ukraine's drones.

FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Greg Palkot, London-based senior foreign affairs correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC), who says the level of anger by Russians is rising to levels which could be a problem for Putin's war on Ukraine.
