The threat of military conflict between the U.S. and Iran is escalating as tense diplomatic talks remain at a stalemate.

New York City's Democratic socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani is threatening a 9.5% property tax increase and 5k officer reduction in the New York City Police Department's ranks if state lawmakers do not raise taxes on wealthy residents and corporations.

Kathy Hochul opposes raising property taxes and completely rejects the idea of raising income taxes, said the state would give the city an additional $1.5 billion in funding. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Pierre Debbas, partner and founding member of the 'Romer Debbas' LLP, who says finding budget cuts rather than raising taxes is the route that should be taken because the middle-class will suffer.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has released an updated statement recommending against gender surgeries for anyone under the age of 18. While the American Medical Association has issued a similar stance, other organizations—including the American Academy of Pediatrics—argue that healthcare decisions should remain between families and doctors, and that surgical options should stay on the table for minors. Earlier this week, plastic surgeon and star of Netflix's Skin Decision: Before and After, Dr. Sheila Nazarian, joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to explain why many in her field believe minors should not "go under the knife" for transition procedures. Dr. Nazarian raised alarms over the lack of long-term data regarding the effectiveness of these treatments, emphasizing her belief that evidence-based medicine must be the sole guide for treating gender dysphoria in children. She also discussed the professional risks of speaking out, noting that many in the medical community fear political backlash for questioning current standards of care.

President Donald Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, announced Thursday that Operation Metro Surge is coming to an end in Minnesota. Homan told reporters the operation successfully reduced threats to public safety by detaining undocumented immigrants with criminal records. He cited "unprecedented levels of coordination" between state officials and local law enforcement as a key factor in the decision. The conclusion of this controversial surge comes after weeks of protests in Minneapolis and other cities over ICE's tactics, as well as tense congressional negotiations over funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Jonathan Fahey, an attorney and former acting ICE director, joins us to explain what led to Homan's decision, why he views the operation as a success, and why he believes Democratic demands to reform ICE are impractical.

In the latest episode of Clause 8, recorded in December 2025, Eli Mazour sits down with Peter-Anthony Pappas, Director of Intellectual Property Policy for the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary under Senator Thom Tillis, at a moment when the USPTO's direction is in significant alignment with what Senator Tillis and Senator Chris Coons have been working toward since reviving the Senate IP Subcommittee in 2019. Under new USPTO leadership, the agency has taken meaningful steps to strengthen patent rights over the last year—from significantly reining in the role of the PTAB in invalidating patents to bringing greater clarity to how Section 101 is applied within the USPTO. But as Peter-Anthony explains, while the steps taken by the agency are promising agency action alone is prone to change and limited to what happens at the USPTO.That's where Senator Tillis comes in. Peter-Anthony walks through how PREVAIL and PERA will lock in much of the what the USPTO is doing and provide long-term certainty for innovators. The conversation explores the progress made last Congress, where the sticking points remain, and what it will take for the legislation to finally pass during Senator Tillis final term.Peter-Anthony is candid about the reality of iterative progress – the coalition building, education, and compromise required - as well as the entrenched interests who have resisted all legislative efforts. At the same time, he describes the slow but meaningful momentum he's seeing, and why this moment presents an opportunity for the USPTO, Congress, and stakeholders to work together. Before being chosen as USPTO's acting Director, Coke Morgan Stewart sounded a similar note of optimism about a second Trump administration supporting bi-partisan patent bills.Peter-Anthony brings a rare vantage point to that assessment. Before coming to Capitol Hill, he served as a frontline Patent Examiner, a Supervisory Patent Examiner, PTAB Branch Chief, and Special Advisor to former USPTO Director Andrei Iancu. He shares the story of following that path and provides insights into how that experience gives him a unique understanding of how patent policy works in practice and what it takes to make meaningful, long-term changes.The episode also touches on other IP issues at the top of Senator Tillis' agenda, including copyright and AI, commercial piracy, and performance rights — including Peter-Anthony's role in planning a recent IP Subcommittee hearing that drew attention for testimony from Gene Simmons.Eli and Peter-Anthony also discuss their shared North Jersey roots, and how they first met while Peter-Anthony was at the USPTO.

The Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Acting Director of ICE, and the Director of USCIS are all expected to testify today before the House Homeland Security Committee.

Representative Brad Knott (R-NC) joins the Rundown to discuss the standoff over Democratic demands for ICE reform. Florida is now mandating that all driving tests be conducted in English only. While critics argue the rule is rooted in bias rather than safety data, Governor Ron DeSantis and other proponents defend the change as a common-sense measure to ensure drivers can comprehend road signs and laws. Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins joins the Rundown to discuss the policy—catalyzed by a fatal 2025 crash involving a non-English proficient commercial driver—and why he hopes the rest of the country follows the Sunshine State's lead.

The legislature kicked off today with the usual pomp and circumstance.  The only remarkable thing about Gordon's speech was what he didn't talk about--climate change.  He probably thought that'd be unpopular so instead he lectured legislators how they should do things his way.  He also promised that he would always defend Wyoming's right to export our resources.   Too bad, the legislature gave him the money to do that in 2019 and he vetoed the bill. Also, you know you've made it when the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court refers to your show in the State of the Judiciary speech.  All I can say is I'm not the one full of misinformation.

As the 2026 midterm season kicks off with primaries in Arkansas, North Carolina, and Texas, the political landscape is being shaped by President Trump's push for increased federal involvement in election oversight.

The world's biggest tech companies are facing their greatest legal and political challenges since their inception. Opening statements are expected to start early next week in a Los Angeles courtroom for what is being called a landmark social media trial. Meta and Google are being sued by a 19-year-old plaintiff, known as K.G.M., who alleges that Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and others are intentionally designed to be addictive. She claims the use of these platforms caused her profound harm—including anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. TikTok and Snapchat were also sued but have since settled the claims against them. Google and Meta deny these allegations. They argue there is no connection between their technology and addiction. There is a lot at stake; this is just the first case that could eventually affect more than a thousand other claims. A class action involving approximately 1,600 plaintiffs with similar claims is pending. Meanwhile, in Washington, a bipartisan push is growing to reform Section 230 protections for Big Tech. The law currently shields social media companies from liability regarding user-generated content. John Yoo—former Deputy Assistant Attorney General and current law professor at UC Berkeley—joins FOX Business Network's Lydia Hu to discuss the high stakes for Big Tech as they are caught in the legal crosshairs and face increasing political pressure.

Today marked the expiration of the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty between Washington and Moscow: the 'New START' treaty. It was an agreement, signed under President Obama, between the United States and Russia which limited the number of weapons each country could deploy on their missiles, bombers and submarines.

FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Andrea Stricker, deputy director of the Foundation of the Defense of Democracies' Nonproliferation Program and a FDD research fellow, who says the key to a new arms deal must include more nuclear armed countries like China.

Today, Taylor Riggs sits down with Mike Murphy, Founder and Managing Partner at Rosecliff, to discuss whether these tariffs are a long-term win for U.S. security or a house of cards waiting for a judicial ruling.

Earlier this week, we took a deep dive into systemic fraud with former police officer and Minnesota fraud investigator Scott Dexter. Dexter recently took his findings to Congress, testifying about the rampant misuse of taxpayer funds he uncovered between 2014 and 2019. While his investigations predate the high-profile COVID-era scandals, Dexter argues that the patterns he found established a troubling "blueprint" for the "rampant" fraud we see today. Dexter spoke with FOX News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal about how certain scams were carried out and why he is confident that the fraud causing so much outrage in Minnesota right now is just the tip of the iceberg—a much bigger nationwide problem affecting various government programs. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full conversation. Today on The FOX News Rundown Extra, we share our full interview with Scott Dexter to explore fraud in Minnesota, the challenges of addressing it, and why the problem extends far beyond the North Star State.
