Evening Edition: Examining the Democratic Socialist Surge Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

This November will see an increased number of democratic party nominees for high office either being endorsed outright by the Democratic Socialists of America, or at least being somewhat in sympathy with their views.

While it's uncertain how much of an impact the DSA’s influence will have on the outcome in November, the movement appears to be gaining momentum. FOX Business’ David Asman joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to dissect the far-left movement's growing influence and the escalating debate over free-market capitalism versus government control.

Asman breaks down the historical record of socialist policies versus free-market capitalism, explaining how past economic failures contrast sharply with modern political rhetoric targeted at younger generations. He exposes the reality behind DSA platforms—including proposal price tags ranging from $70 trillion to $200 trillion.

Plus, Asman previews his FOX Business special, "FOX Business in Depth: Socialism Threat and the Future of Capitalism," examining how mainstream politicians are shifting left to court socialist voters ahead of upcoming elections.

Extra: A Race To Recklessness? Tristan Harris Breaks Down AI’s Threat To Humanity Sep 19, 2026

Show notes

Warnings about AI's potential risks have escalated rapidly after Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon, a former OpenAI employee, resigned and accused AI companies of knowingly gambling with human lives. Coxon warned that unchecked, self-improving artificial intelligence could pose a catastrophic threat to humanity within a decade if development does not slow down.

The fallout from his departure has reignited a debate over AI regulation in Congress, where legislative discussions were recently overshadowed by controversy over AI data centers. Meanwhile, members of the Trump administration, including the President, have questioned the timing of the warnings, which came less than two months before the midterm elections.

Tristan Harris, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology and a featured voice in the Netflix documentary The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist, discussed escalating risks, recent AI safety tests that went rogue, and growing calls for industry restraint. The interview took place after Coxon's departure, but before Anthropic's CEO publicly responded by calling for a collective effort to slow the pace of development.

We often have to 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 Tristan Harris on the risks of AI and what he says we must do now to protect humans.
