Extra: The Challenger's Legacy ... 40 Years Later Jan 31, 2026

Show notes

Forty years ago this past week, Americans watched in horror as the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded on live television just 73 seconds after liftoff, killing all seven crew members.

An investigation later found that during the coldest-ever shuttle launch, a failure in the O-ring seals—caused in part by the weather—led to the disaster. Hours after the tragedy, President Reagan addressed the nation, calling the crew heroes and vowing that the disaster would not end America’s space program.

Earlier this week, retired NASA astronauts Bonnie Dunbar and Clayton Anderson joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to reflect on the lives of the seven heroes lost, the evolution of safety protocols following the investigation, and the unwavering spirit of discovery required to reach for the Moon and Mars.

We often must 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 entire interview with retired NASA astronauts Bonnie Dunbar and Clayton Anderson.

Show notes

After months of anticipation, President Trump has finally announced who he’d like to see lead the Federal Reserve, nominating Kevin Warsh to replace Chairman Jerome Powell.

Warsh—a former Fed Governor and current business professor at Stanford University—was frequently cited by Fox Business as a leading potential replacement. He has also previously called for "regime change" at the Fed.

Doug Holtz Eakin, the former director of the Congressional Budget Office and is now the president of the American Action Forum, joins FOX Business Network's Gerri Willis to discuss lingering questions about whether Warsh can be confirmed and what his nomination will mean for the Fed's future.

Show notes

The clock is ticking on another government shut down as Democrats are refusing to fund nearly 80% of the government because it includes DHS funding.

Republicans are citing splitting DHS funding bill as reason to reject the latest funding package.
