A Delicate Deal: Will the U.S.-Iran Agreement Reshape the Middle East? Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

The United States and Iran have negotiated a deal following a period of military conflict involving U.S. and Israeli airstrikes, leading to a 60-day ceasefire to allow for continued nuclear negotiations. Under the preliminary agreement, shipping will resume through the critical Strait of Hormuz without Iranian interference. The director of Heritage’s Center for National Defense Robert Greenway joins the Rundown to discuss the nuances of the negotiations, Iran's crippled enrichment capabilities, and the role of Israel in regional security.

Some of the world's most powerful artificial intelligence models have just been abruptly taken offline. Following an emergency export control directive from the Trump administration, AI pioneer Anthropic disabled its new Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models due to severe national security anxieties. The federal intervention came after Amazon officials alerted the White House that a simple "jailbreak" technique allowed users to completely bypass safety guardrails—raising alarms that rogue states or bad actors could exploit software flaws to launch catastrophic cyberattacks. Ohio Republican Senator Jon Husted joins the Rundown to dissect the federal government's high-stakes "pause" on frontier AI and the delicate needle policymakers must thread between out-innovating China and defending domestic infrastructure. Also, Sen. Husted discusses his tough reelection campaign.

PLUS, commentary by Joe Abraham the father of Katie Abraham, who was killed in a drunken-driving accident by an illegal alien.

Evening Edition: What President Trump's New Iran Deal Actually Means Jun 15, 2026

Show notes

President Trump is in Geneva for the G7 summit, where Vice President Vance is expected to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Islamic Republic of Iran. While the administration touts this as the "peace deal" that ends decades of hostility, the reality is far more nuanced. In truth, it’s a 60-day clock to negotiate the world's most dangerous flashpoints: Iran’s nuclear ambitions, missile programs, terror proxies, and control over the crucial Strait of Hormuz.

Has the U.S. secured a diplomatic breakthrough, or have we blinked first against a fanatical regime?

To break down what this deal really means, Victoria Coates, Vice President of the Heritage Foundation’s Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy and former Deputy National Security Advisor during the first Trump administration, joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to discuss the deal, Iran's motives, and what comes next.

Is America Less Safe After FISA Expired? Jun 15, 2026

Show notes

Major questions are swirling around U.S. national security following the expiration of FISA Section 702, a key surveillance tool used to monitor foreign threats abroad. As Capitol Hill remains divided over its future, Michigan Republican Congresswoman and House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain joins the Rundown to discuss the security risks she sees in the lapse. Plus, how Republicans are shaping their economic agenda ahead of the midterms.

With all the attention on UFOs, UAPs, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life—including a new Steven Spielberg movie on the subject —is the world ready for a real-life “Disclosure Day”? Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson joins the Rundown to discuss the Pentagon’s gradual unsealing and releasing of UFO files and whether he thinks humans can “handle” smoking gun proof of alien life. He also discusses his new book, Take Me to Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter, and how it examines why our conceptions of aliens, especially the ones we’ve seen in Hollywood movies, may be way off.

PLUS, commentary by Jason Chaffetz, FOX News contributor and the host of the Jason In The House podcast on FOX News Radio.

From Washington: A Nation Divided Ahead of America's 250th Jun 14, 2026

Show notes

As we mark the 250th anniversary of our country… it will be a time of celebration, but perhaps also a reminder of how divided we are. A recent FOX News poll takes a closer look at our national mood ahead of the Fourth of July… and it finds more Americans are holding an unfavorable view of the country. So, why are some Americans sour on the nation? Daron Shaw, a member of the FOX News Decision Desk and a Republican pollster who helps conduct FOX News surveys, breaks down a poll showing more discontent with the country and why some are letting current partisan issues impact how they feel about the nation as a whole. Shaw also looks ahead to some of the key midterm races that could decide the balance of power in Washington this fall.

Plus, FOX News Congressional Correspondent Bill Melugin speaks with House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer about their recent report on the Minnesota fraud scandal.

Extra: How the U.S. is Protecting the World Cup Jun 13, 2026

Show notes

The World Cup has begun.

From Atlanta to Seattle, Philly to Los Angeles... World Cup games will take place in eleven U-S cities through July nineteenth... as well as five other cities in Canada and Mexico.

And preparing for potential security threats has been an expansive effort.

More than a billion dollars has gone out to cities and states for security, transportation, and to help local law enforcement combat drone threats.

While many of these decisions are coordinated across various agencies... the efforts are being led by a White House task force set up to manage World Cup logistics.

On the eve of the World Cup’s first games… we spoke with the head of that task force, Andrew Giuliani.

He broke down the months of planning and coordination required to secure the 78 matches taking place in America over the next several weeks.

He discussed their efforts to protect the venues, the risks soft targets face, and the work and training that went into addressing the evolving threat of drones.

We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.

Today on the FOX News Rundown Extra, we share our entire interview with the head of the White House World Cup Task Force, Andrew Giuliani.

From Washington: Showdown on the Hill Over Warrantless Spying Jun 13, 2026

Show notes

This week, lawmakers on the Hill were working on reforms to FISA Section 702, a warrantless surveillance program that allows our intelligence agencies to spy on foreign targets. Though the program was kept alive with a short-term extension, Democrats and a small cohort of Republicans voted against a continuation after raising concerns over the president’s pick to serve as his Director of National Intelligence. FOX News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins The Rundown to go over the drama surrounding FISA and the significance of its expiration, as well as the fight over a new reconciliation bill and this past week’s congressional baseball game.

Later, Andrew Giuliani, Head of the White House World Cup Task Force, explains the planning and coordination that went into the security surrounding the 78 matches that will be taking place in the U.S. this summer.

Business Rundown: High Rates vs. Rising Home Sales Jun 12, 2026

Show notes

A welcome silver lining in what has recently been a bleak housing market.

Sales of previously owned homes jumped more than expected in May... posting an unexpected three-point-two percent increase month-over-month.

That was the highest rate of sales we’ve seen since December. And according to the National Association of Realtors, it was the best month for first-time homebuyers since June 2020... with thirty-five percent of all purchases coming from people buying their very first home.

But while that is impressive... mortgage rates remain stubbornly high, even ticking up again this week according to Freddie Mac.

So, what should we take away from these mixed signals... and what can we expect in the months ahead?

Realtor.com Chief Economist Danielle Hale joins FOX Business’ Gerri Willis to break down the housing market, letting buyers and sellers know what they need to know.
