Earlier this week, Arizona became the first state to file a lawsuit against the Biden administration over the President's latest vaccine mandates for federal workers and large companies. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich argues that President Biden's new vaccine requirements are unconstitutional and violate the Equal Protection Clause. Brnovich points out that illegal immigrants who enter the U.S. are not subject to the same federal vaccine requirements as American citizens. Brnovich joins to break down his state's lawsuit, why he says it violates the U.S. constitution and why he believes we can't have a serious conversation about COVID-19 until we start talking about what's going on at the southern border.   On Tuesday, September 14th, the Department of Justice filed an emergency order asking a federal judge in Texas for a temporary halt on the new Texas law banning abortions past six weeks of pregnancy. While President Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland expressed their belief the law is unconstitutional and in direct conflict with Roe v. Wade, Texas Governor Greg Abbott's press secretary asserted Abbott signed this law to protect "the most precious freedom...life itself." Law Professor at George Washington University and Fox News Contributor, Jonathan Turley joins to explain that while pundits are focused on the Texas law, the Supreme Court is set to hear a case on a Mississippi abortion law that could seriously weaken Roe v. Wade. Turley breaks down why Democrats' moves to codify Roe v. Wade could create issues of federal overreach, how Mississippi's law could enhance the authority of states in the pre-viability stage of abortion, and how the Supreme Court is likely to rule on this landmark case on states' rights in regard to abortion.   Plus, commentary by former White House speechwriter and FOX News contributor Marc Thiessen.

On September 14th, 2001 Congress passed an Authorization for the Use of Military Force, allowing the Armed Forces to strike back against those responsible for the 9/11 terror attacks and deter and prevent acts of international terrorism against the United States. That AUMF has been used by every President since. But with the War in Afghanistan over and no remaining troops on the ground, it may be time to re-think the broad power given to the commander in chief. Indiana Republican Senator Todd Young discusses the future of these military authorizations twenty years later. The 2021 California Gubernatorial Recall Election takes place Tuesday, September 14th, and President Biden is campaigning with Governor Gavin Newsom in an attempt to keep him from being removed from office. Former President Barack Obama released an advertisement for Newsom urging Democrats to return ballots and veto the recall.

After almost two decades since the September 11th attacks and a year-and-a-half pause due to the coronavirus pandemic, the pretrial hearing of suspected 9/11 architect Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others accused of conspiring in the attacks, continued this week at Guantanamo Bay. Former assistant U.S. attorney and Fox News Contributor Andy McCarthy weighs in on why this trial has dragged on for all these years, the challenges this case faces, and with the upcoming 20th anniversary of September 11th, if we've learned anything from past terrorism cases and the War on Terror.   The biggest trial in France's modern history is underway, with the court looking to serve justice to the victims of the November 2015 terror attacks in Paris that left hundreds of French citizens dead or injured.

As we continue to battle the ever evolving coronavirus pandemic both globally in and in the U.S. while we are making progress there is still a lot more to be done. COVID-19 vaccinations are beginning to pick up steam again across the country as many Americans try to protect themselves from the contagious Delta variant that is causing a significant wave of cases across the country. Most of the new infections are among the unvaccinated, bringing many hospitals to their breaking point in a number of states. Meanwhile, families across the country are preparing to send their children back to school for in-person learning, which is bringing up the ongoing debate over mask mandates in schools. Earlier this week, host Lisa Brady spoke with Senior Director, of New York City's System-wide Special Pathogens Program, Dr. Syra Madad where we are with the pandemic, the discouraging numbers and cases hitting high numbers close to what we saw in January and people worried there is no end in sight with this pandemic.

FOX News White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich has been following the diplomatic questions, and answers the question as to what's next for Afghanistan after a twenty-year military presence comes to an end.  In 2020, the United States underwent it's once a decade census to recount our population. Most state governments use the change in population as an opportunity to reassess how their congressional districts are drawn. FOX News Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram explains what the roadmap of this redistricting might look like, and why it is important to understand the 2022 Midterm Election.

The withdrawal from Afghanistan has been heavily criticized as a disorganized and chaotic mission. Amid this chaos, two U.S. congressmen who served in the U.S. military, Republican Rep. Peter Meijer of Michigan and Democratic Rep. Congressman Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, carried out their own secret trip to Kabul to provide oversight on the U.S. government's evacuation efforts. Earlier this week, host Alex Hogan spoke to Congressman Peter Meijer of Michigan who is also a U.S. veteran, to discuss why he made the covert expedition to Afghanistan amid the evacuation, the realities he saw on the ground in Kabul that differed from the information being provided by the Biden administration and the unfortunate situation America found itself in being forced to collaborate with the Taliban to save U.S. lives. The conversation was too long and we could not include everything Rep. Peter Meijer had to say about the chaotic evacuation of Afghanistan. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear all of his thoughts and feelings toward what he described as an embarrassing and shameful position for the country and its citizens.

The longest war in American history has come to an end this week after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan as American troops evacuated the region.

America is approaching the 20th anniversary of 9/11, one of the darkest days in U.S. history. While the story has been told and retold each September 11th, there are always new perspectives to observe and learn from regarding this tragic day. Bill Hemmer joins to discuss his new Fox Nation special airing Sunday, September 5th called “The Lost Calls of 9/11.” Following the events of that day, a man in Houston, Texas purchased used computer equipment and when he took the machine home and plugged it in he was shocked to discover it contained 103 never-heard-before calls from a trading room floor just across the street from the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11th. Bill explains how the calls tell a story of Americans seeing an attack unfold before their eyes and the emotional calls of men and women calling their families and loved ones and how the withdrawal from Afghanistan sets the stage for terror to potentially return to that same region where Al-Qaeda hatched the 9/11 terror attack.   A new Texas abortion law restricting the procedure six weeks after pregnancy has thrown the issue back into the national spotlight following the Supreme Court ruling to allow the ban to continue. The vote was 5-4. President Biden and many prominent Democrats have already spoken out against both the Texas law and the Supreme Court ruling, however, the five conservative judges who rejected the attempt to block this controversial law explained in their opinion that this decision is not an indication of whether the law itself is unconstitutional or not. The future of this Texas abortion ban is unclear as the Supreme Court will hear a Mississippi abortion case which will be the first abortion case considered by the High Court since Justice Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed. Host of Fox News Sunday Chris Wallace joins to discuss the details of the Texas abortion law and why the Supreme Court awaits the Mississippi case to make a significant decision on abortion rights. Later, Chris discusses the heavy political price President Biden can expect to pay for the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and how it relates to his new book coming out September 7th, Countdown bin Laden, in which he details the thrilling 247-day manhunt to bring to justice the man responsible for the 9/11 attacks.   Plus, commentary by former Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland.

The withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Taliban taking over the region and all the deadly events that have followed is having a major impact on many veterans, especially those who served in America's longest war. Even before the deadly terrorist attack in Kabul, the Defense Department and the Marine Corps two top commanders reached out to veterans, especially those wondering is their sacrifice was worth it; praising them for their service while urging them to take advantage of mental health resources if needed. A study released by the Cost of War Project in June estimated that more than 30,000 War on Terror veterans have died by suicide, compared to more than 7-thousan who were deployed, Earlier this week, host Lisa Brady spoke retired U.S. Marine Corps Colonel Christian Cabaniss about veterans' reaction to the Afghanistan withdrawal and the mental health struggles they currently face.

Jared speaks with FOX News Pentagon Reporter Lucas Tomlinson, who has been covering the withdrawal and evacuations out of Afghanistan since the beginning about this week's deadly attack and the President's response. Earlier this week the Food and Drug Administration granted full approval to Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine for individuals 16 years and older. While coronavirus vaccines developed by Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson have all previously been granted emergency use authorization (EUA), the FDA's full approval of the Pfizer vaccine is a huge milestone, especially for those Americans who were vaccine-hesitant and contributing to low vaccination rates in the U.S. Jared speaks with former Food and Drug Administration associate commissioner, Peter Pitts about why it's important if he thinks Moderna and Johnson and Johnson will get full FDA approval and if he thinks this will help those who are vaccine-hesitant finally get vaccinated against the virus.

The evacuations of U.S. citizens and Afghanistan allies continue in the region as the August 31 deadline looms. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday that he believes less than 1,000 American citizens are still in Afghanistan trying to leave the country and that 82,300 people have been flown out of Kabul since August 14. But as the deadline for U.S. troops to leave Afghanistan approaches, what does the future hold when it comes to America's national security and keeping an eye on terrorism? This as the Taliban secures control of Afghanistan amid reports that the nation is becoming a safe haven for terrorist groups. Fox News Contributor and former CIA Station Chief Daniel Hoffman joins to weigh in on what will happen to those who don't make it out of Afghanistan by the deadline and if the "over-the-horizon" counterterrorism capability the Biden administration keeps pushing is enough to keep terrorists at bay.   The U.S. Supreme Court has reinstated the 'Remain in Mexico' policy set by the Trump administration, ruling that asylum seekers must wait in Mexico while authorities review their claims. While President Biden attempted to cancel this Trump-era policy, the High Court ruled 6-3 refusing to block a lower court ruling that ordered the Migrant Protection Protocols program to be reinstated. Fox News National Correspondent Bill Melugin joins to explain how this decision may impact the migrant surge at the U.S.-Mexico border. Bill breaks down what exactly the reinstating of the 'Remain in Mexico' policy means for border security, the plight of border patrol agents who feel overwhelmed by the surge in illegal border crossings, and how the Biden administration must revive the MPP policy thought they plan to cancel it in the future.   Plus, commentary by Gordon Chang, author of "The Coming Collapse of China."

Two lawmakers, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) and Rep.

This as American citizens and Afghan allies who have assisted the U.S. during America's 20-year war try to evacuate the region that is now under the Taliban's control. FOX News Senior Strategic Analyst, chairman of the Institute for the Study of War and retired 4 star general, General Jack Keane weighs in on President Biden's remarks yesterday, what this means for the people still trying to flee the country and for the future of terrorism now that Afghanistan is under Taliban control.   Inflation has become a major concern for many Americans and as people search for ways to save money, an increasing number of consumers are buying their groceries and daily necessities from discount stores. Consumer prices continued to rise last month and the pandemic continues to favor the strength of the country's largest retailers while local grocery stores are less equipped to handle the supply chain disruptions, climbing costs and shortage in labor. Fox Business Correspondent Jeff Flock joins to discuss how inflation has driven the sales spike at U.S. "dollar stores," why local groceries are struggling to compete and he explains how inflation is hurting the wallets of even the poorest Americans.   Plus, commentary by FOX Nation host Tomi Lahren.

President Biden addressing the nation Tuesday did not say he was extending the Afghanistan withdrawal deadline of August 31st but did say he has asked his advisors for 'contingency plans'. This as allies, including the United Kingdom, have suggested an extension. FOX's Gurnal Scott speaks to FOX Foreign Correspondent Greg Palkot about some success stories of the evacuation efforts and what our European allies feel about our exit from Afghanistan. 

The United States military says the past twenty four hours has had the most evacuations from Afghanistan since the Taliban took control of the country with nearly thirty flights carrying over ten thousand people out of the country. But violence has continued to stop many from reaching the airport in Kabul and President Biden has said he has not ruled out staying longer than the August 31st withdrawal date. FOX's Eben Brown speaks to retired Marine Lt. Col. Jonathon Myers who is helping facilitate the evacuation of Afghans who helped our military.
