Is the Supreme Court About To Overrule the President’s Economic Agenda? Jan 14, 2026

Show notes

President Trump is touting a strong economy while promising new measures to tackle affordability. Meanwhile, all eyes are on the Supreme Court, which could rule as early as tomorrow on a landmark case that may redefine the president’s tariff authority and determine if companies are entitled to billions in refunds. O’Leary Ventures Chairman Kevin O’Leary joins the Rundown to discuss the potential fallout of the ruling, the growing concerns over the cost of living, but why he is optimistic about the direction of the economy.

For decades, Cuba’s economy has relied on heavily subsidized Venezuelan oil shipments—a lifeline that sustained the island’s energy needs and regional alliances. Today, that lifeline is fraying amid shifting geopolitics and dwindling supplies. Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.) joins us to discuss the current state of the Cuban regime, the economic fallout of the energy crisis, and Havana's growing ties with Mexico and other leftist governments. Later, he reflects on fleeing Cuba as a child, the lasting impact of that journey, and his deep gratitude for the opportunities he found in the United States.

Plus, commentary by Jason Rantz, Host of the Jason Rantz Show and author of “What's Killing America.”

Evening Edition: SCOTUS Hears Arguments That Could Set Rules For Transgender Athletes Nationwide Jan 13, 2026

Show notes

The Supreme Court today heard arguments on whether states can bar transgender athletes from competing on girls and women’s school sports teams, a national issue that has strong opinions on both sides. In particular, they considered rulings by lower federal courts that blocked Idaho and West Virginia from enforcing their bans, rulings the two states are now seeking to overturn.

FOX’s John Saucier speaks with John Bursch, senior counsel and Vice President of appellate advocacy with Alliance Defending Freedom, who says he feels confident the highest court will ban trans athletes from competing with others.

Iran’s Regime Is On The Edge: What Happens If It Collapses? Jan 13, 2026

Show notes

Iran’s leadership is under intense pressure as nationwide protests spread across the country, driven by deep economic strain, political frustration, and anger toward Iran’s Islamic theocracy. Demonstrations that began in December have grown into one of the most serious challenges to the regime in decades, with hundreds reportedly killed amid a sweeping government crackdown. Robert Harward, former U.S. Navy SEAL vice admiral and a member of the Iran Policy Project at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America, joins the Rundown to discuss whether this unrest could mark an end for the regime, and what may come next.

Could recent developments in Venezuela spark a new era of lower gas prices in the U.S.? With Venezuela’s captured leader, Nicolás Maduro, now jailed in the United States on narco-terrorism and drug charges, the Trump administration is turning its focus to rebuilding the country’s oil industry. On Friday, President Trump met with oil executives and is reportedly seeking at least $100 billion in investment. Senior energy analyst at the Price Futures Group and FOX Business contributor, Phil Flynn joins the Rundown to discuss why reviving Venezuela’s oil production could be a boost to American consumers and deliver a financial blow to U.S. adversaries like Russia, China, and Cuba.

Plus, commentary by FOX News contributor Joe Concha.

The Associated Press has reported over 500 hundred protesters have been killed and thousands of others jailed, with those numbers expected to rise drastically. President Trump has said that the U.S. Military has many 'very strong options' to respond if the Iranian government does not stop using violence against unarmed protests.

FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Daniel Flesch, Senior Policy Analyst for Middle East and North Africa at The Heritage Foundation, who says Iran's leadership is at their weakest point in decades, and the next move by the White House could be key to how things proceed.

Business Rundown: Fed Chair On Hot Seat, As Criminal Probe Rocks the Federal Reserve Jan 12, 2026

Show notes

In a video released Sunday evening, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell announced that he is under investigation by the Justice Department over his testimony last year about the Fed’s building renovation project.

Powell says the central bank has received grand jury subpoenas. He defended the renovations at the center of the criminal probe and denied any wrongdoing. He also claimed he is being targeted for not aligning with President Trump’s preference for cutting interest rates.

The president, who has been a public critic of Powell and his policies, says he had no knowledge of the investigation. Critics say this places the administration under scrutiny.

This bombshell comes just as President Trump says he is winding down his search for the next Federal Reserve chair.

Gary Kaltbaum, the president of Kaltbaum Capital Management and a Fox Business contributor, joins FOX Business Network's Lydia to react to the news of the criminal probe and the buzz among investors as they wait to see who the next Fed chair may be.

Extra: What's Behind The Massive Vaccine Guideline Changes Jan 11, 2026

Show notes

The CDC announced Monday a major overhaul of the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule, reducing the number of routine immunizations recommended for children.

In December, President Trump directed Health and Human Services officials to examine how other developed nations schedule vaccines and to reconsider the U.S. approach.

FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary said the changes are intended to restore public trust in health institutions that was lost during the pandemic.

However, criticism has been fierce. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have pushed back, and the American Academy of Pediatrics has called the move dangerous and unnecessary.

Vaccine schedules are handled by the states, meaning states may continue to mandate certain vaccines for school attendance. The updated recommendations also do not eliminate insurance coverage for any vaccines.

The CDC changes create three categories.

The eleven vaccines that remain in the recommended category include measles, mumps, rubella, polio, pertussis, HPV, and chickenpox.

A second category recommends vaccines for individuals considered high-risk, including hepatitis A and B and RSV.

The third category includes vaccines available by personal choice after consultation with a doctor, including COVID-19, flu, rotavirus, and others.

Earlier this week, former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield joined FOX News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss the new and reduced childhood vaccine schedule recommendations.

Dr. Redfield, author of the new book Redfield’s Warning: What I Learned (But Couldn’t Tell You) Might Save Your Life, explained why he supports the changes, while also emphasizing the importance of doctors clearly explaining the benefits of vaccines.

He also discussed why public trust has eroded and why encouraging vaccine choice and transparency could ultimately lead more Americans to get the shots needed to protect themselves from disease.

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

Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we share our entire interview with former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield—and more of his perspective on vaccines.
