The Fox News Rundown

Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Hinson was speaking to constituents at a pair of town halls touting her support for President Donald Trump’s tax and spending bill while members of the audience began booing in an attempt to drown her comments out. The raucous town halls happen as House Republicans push for spending cancellations and others are demanding deeper budget cuts to a proposed spending bill. President Trump has requested lawmakers rescind $9.4 billion in spending already allocated that include foreign aid and funding to public broadcasting. FOX’s Ryan Schmelz speaks with Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (R-IA), representing Iowa's 2nd district, who says she will continue to speak at town halls and push President Trump's agenda that she very much believes in.

Soliman, who overstayed a tourist visa that expired in 2023, faces state charges, including attempted murder, as well as a federal hate crime charge.

Jordan weighs in on the debate over the "One Big, Beautiful Bill" and addresses questions surrounding former President Joe Biden's decline.   A recent study on fentanyl-related deaths across the United States has shown a 30% decline from 2022 to 2024. Part of the decline can be attributed to experienced community members, nurses, and emergency responders, who are taking action to address the crisis.

It has been determined that the 45-year-old Egyptian man accused of allegedly throwing explosives into a crowd Sunday in Boulder, Colorado as a pro-Israel group gathered to advocate for the release of Hamas hostages has been in the United States illegally for years.

None of the victims have died. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Liora Rez, the Founder and Executive Director of StopAntisemitism, who says the terror attack targeted Jews but the same extremist ideology wants the United state destroyed.

The House of Representatives' budget reconciliation plan, backed by President Trump, is headed to the Senate.

U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) joins the Rundown to discuss the Senate's work on President Trump's reconciliation bill and Republicans' efforts to cut taxes, reduce spending, and create more U.S. jobs. She also describes her own bipartisan bill, which aims to improve childcare affordability and help parents re-enter the workforce.

According to recent reports, artificial intelligence models may be exhibiting signs of resistance when instructed to shut down. In one case, an AI system even considered blackmailing the engineers who informed it that it was being replaced. Does this suggest AI could one day pose a threat to humans? Earlier this week, Dr. Robert J. Marks, Director of the Discovery Institute's Bradley Center and Professor at Baylor University, joined host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss recent incidents and whether they suggest or prove that AI can eventually act autonomously and harm humans. Dr. Marks explained the capabilities and limitations, as well as why he is skeptical about how independently nefarious AI can be. He also described his optimism about how the technology will improve and be more beneficial. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with AI Expert Dr. Robert J. Marks and get even more of his take on where AI is going. Learn more about your ad choices.
