38 Trillion Reasons For America To Tighten It's Belt This Year Jan 01, 2026

Show notes

As we enter 2026, the national debt is quickly nearing $40 trillion and interest costs alone are near $1 trillion a year. Meanwhile, there is no clear bipartisan plan to reverse the trend. The Trump administration points to economic growth, tariffs, and efforts to cut waste and fraud as part of the solution, while critics warn that deficits remain historically high and savings so far fall short of what’s needed. Former Indiana Governor and former OMB Director Mitch Daniels joins the Rundown to break down the lack of political will to address the debt crisis, what’s politically realistic in the year ahead to rein it in.

Then, we revisit one of our most impactful interviews from the past year, when Author and Historian Walter Isaacson joined Chris Foster to discuss the United States’ upcoming 250th birthday and why America’s revolution is one of the most important events in world history.

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

Evening Edition: Are Politics Inspiring Anti-Semitic Violence? Dec 31, 2025

Show notes

Examples of anti-Semitic and terror attacks towards Jews around the world have surged in recent years, especially since October 7th and the ensuing war. Last month, a father and son duo in Australia killed fifteen people and injured more than two dozen others at a Hanukah celebration, which authorities called an ISIS-inspired terrorist attack. Following the attack, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he warned Australia that the country’s policies began festering an anti-Semitic tone after calling for the formation of a Palestinian State.

FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Rabbi Yaakov Menken, the Executive Vice President of the Coalition for Jewish Values, who says these anti-Semitic attacks should not just be viewed as hatred towards Jewish lives, but hatred towards all life.

Business Rundown: Zohran Mamdani’s Rise—and What It Could Mean for American Politics Dec 29, 2025

Show notes

In just a few days, New York City, the world's business capital, will have a new mayor, Zoran Momdani.

The self-described democratic socialist platform includes free buses, universal childcare, and city-run grocery stores.

Prominent Democrats hesitated to support Momdany in New York City's mayoral race.

Since his victory, Republicans nationwide have been raising red flags about his policies. Some of these ideas may appeal to residents of one of America's most expensive cities.

However, critics fear his use of class warfare tactics and promotion of reliance on the government may harken back to the early stages of other failed or even destructive political movements in world history.

FOX Business’ Lydia Hu speaks with Dr. Eric Patterson, the President and CEO of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation in Washington, D.C., to discuss his organization, the dangers of ‘class warfare’ rhetoric and policies, and why he fears Mamdani’s popularity could signal a shift in American politics.

There’s been a lot of focus lately on how much ‘screen time’ children have and how technology is negatively impacting them. But scrolling on a cell phone all day is also terrible for adults.

Clinical psychologist and family therapist Dr. Sheryl Ziegler explains how damaging cell phones and social media have been for people of all ages, and offers tips on unplugging and improving mental health by avoiding the traps of modern tech.

Then, we revisit one of our most impactful interviews from the past year, when Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Rick Crawford (AR-01) joined Mike Emanuel to react to President Trump’s bold decision to bomb three Iranian nuclear sites this past June.

Extra: Inflation, The Fed, And America's "Wealth Paradox" Dec 28, 2025

Show notes

The past year has been a rough one for many Americans as the Trump administration works on what it says is a recovery from the Biden-era policies that drove up the cost of living.

And while there has been improvement, especially compared to the peak inflation of 2022, a struggle continues.

Recently, we spoke with Carol Roth, a former investment banker, entrepreneur, and author of the book "You Will Own Nothing, about what she calls the “wealth paradox.”

Roth discussed what's driving inflation and why consumer spending remains strong despite higher prices.

She also offered tips on how to get more out of your money and how to avoid unnecessary costs.

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 Carol Roth.
