    President Trump announcing the U.S. will be escorting commercial ships out of the Strait of Hormuz.

Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander, says the U.S. blockade is tightening around Iran, with nearly 50 vessels being redirected, dozens of ships being damaged by Iranian attacks, and about 20,000 sailors remain stuck in the region. FOX’s John Saucier speaks with Jennifer Griffin, Chief National Security correspondent for FOX News Channel, who lays out the details of 'Project Freedom', and the latest state of the blockade.

    Extra: Are We Still Capable of Keeping Presidents Safe?
    May 2 2026
    One week ago, the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in Washington, D.C., was cut short by a harrowing assassination attempt. President Trump, attending the annual event for the first time in his presidency, was rushed to safety by the Secret Service alongside members of his Cabinet and various lawmakers. The suspect, 31-year-old California teacher and engineer Cole Allen, faces charges of attempted assassination after allegedly rushing past a magnetometer and opening fire outside the Washington Hilton ballroom. While one Secret Service agent was struck, he was fortunately saved by his bulletproof vest and is currently recovering. In the wake of this security breach, major questions are being asked: How did this happen, and how can we protect the President at future high-profile events? Earlier this week, Charles Marino—a former Secret Service Supervisory Special Agent and DHS Advisor—joined host Dave Anthony to break down the tactical failures of that evening and the urgent changes needed to Secret Service protocols. Marino explained the challenges of keeping a President safe and what needs to be done at future, large events.

    May 2 2026
    It has been 15-years since the night al-Qaeda mastermind and chief, Osama bin Laden, was killed in a daring SEAL Team 6 raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan. While it was a great victory against terrorism and Islamic radicalism, the threat of terrorism remains high after years of porous borders and the development of new weaponry. And now, with a direct military conflict with Iran, one of the world's largest sponsors of terror groups, how vulnerable is the United States to a terror attack? FOX’s Tonya J. Powers speaks with Dr. James Robbins, Dean of the Institute of World Politics, who says Tehran would love to take revenge on the United States in some form of terror attack, and he also recounts the search for Osama bin Laden.
