Former President Trump has been briefed about “specific threats” from Iran to assassinate him and “sow chaos in the United States.” With less than 6 weeks remaining until the 2024 election, both campaigns find themselves on high alert for threats, after former President Trump has already seen two attempts on his life since July. Early reports from the Congressional task force handling the first assassination investigation showed that the Secret Service made several errors when protecting the former President in Butler, Pennsylvania. House Chair of the Homeland Security Committee, Congressman Mark Green, joins the Rundown to discuss the early findings from the bipartisan task force, what is being done to ensure another attempt is thwarted, and the credibility of threats coming from Iran. NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Farve announced that he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease while testifying before Congress earlier this week. With frequent concussions occurring in professional football, doctors are concerned that they cause severe brain injuries. A new Harvard University survey finds that one-third of retired NFL players are concerned they have Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). Doctor of neuroscience and retired professional wrestler Dr. Chris Nowinski joins to break down the new discoveries on the threat of CTE. Plus, commentary by the founder and senior pastor of New Beginnings Church of Chicago and the CEO of Project H.O.O.D., Corey Brooks. Photo Credit: AP
