Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer spent the weekend in Tel Aviv, meeting with Israeli officials as he crafts a bipartisan resolution that aims to financially support Israel and condemn Hamas for their brutal attacks. The White House is also making plans to send flights to the region to rescue Americans, as at least 14 remain unaccounted for. However, as the conflict between Hamas and Israel intensifies and innocent civilians continue to die, what else can the U.S. do to put a stop to this catastrophic violence? On the Rundown, Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) discusses how involved he believes the United States will get in this conflict and why ensuring Iran stays out of it is crucial to deter "a broadening" of this war across the Middle East. He also explains why the Biden Administration diminishing America's energy independence has put us in a vulnerable situation in the midst of violent chaos overseas.
