Congressman Mike Lawler, joins the Rundown to discuss his stance on the subsidies, the state of the talks, and what comes next.

Dan Senor, host of the Call Me Back podcast and author of The Genius of Israel, joins the Rundown to examine the rise of antisemitism in the United States and globally, and to examine whether governments, institutions, and political leaders have tolerated a climate in which the vilification of Jews is downplayed or left unchallenged.

Extra: How China Used Theft To Become A Superpower Dec 21, 2025

Show notes

China’s theft of American intellectual property and technology — estimated to cost the U.S. roughly $600 billion annually — has allowed Beijing to accelerate its technological and economic rise without making comparable investments.

This has helped China go from one of the world's poorest nations to a global superpower in just 50 years.

Former Acting Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency David Shedd and former intelligence analyst Andrew Badger explore how China used America’s secrets to transform its economy and military in their new book, The Great Heist: China’s Epic Campaign To Steal America’s Secrets.

The two authors recently joined the Rundown’s Jessica Rosenthal to discuss cases involving U.S. companies such as Tesla and Apple losing proprietary technology to Chinese employees, how their thievery has boosted China’s military capabilities, and potential strategies for economically and technologically decoupling from China.

They also discuss the possibility of war with China and whether Beijing’s technology could eventually surpass America’s.

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 former Acting Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency David Shedd and former intelligence analyst Andrew Badger.

FOX Business Rundown: Gen Z Is Giving Capitalism — And Christmas Shopping — The Cold Shoulder Dec 19, 2025

Show notes

It has been talked about — and meme’d about — all year: Generation Z is struggling economically.

They’re being priced out of the housing market, having trouble finding stable jobs, and are saddled with significant debt.

And while President Trump performed well with young voters — winning 46% of Gen Zers last year, including 56% of young men — in 2025, there appeared to be a shift to the left.

Throughout the year, we saw more signs that Zoomers are embracing socialist-leaning views. The surge of progressive candidates, like Zohran Mamdani — who won last month’s New York City mayoral race — reflected a focus on “affordability” and policies such as free bus service.

According to a Gallup poll released this past September, young adults generally — but especially younger Democrats — are cooling on capitalism. Only 31% of Democrats under 50 now have a positive view of it, compared to 54% in 2010.

FOX News’ Kaylee McGee White joins FOX Business’ Taylor Riggs to break down why Gen Z is rallying around socialist ideas — and what can be done to help young people achieve the American Dream. Plus, they discuss why Gen Z isn’t big on buying holiday gifts, and what the best and worst presents are to receive.
