The Fox News Rundown

Venezuela’s ousted leader, Nicolás Maduro, is now behind bars in a Brooklyn prison, facing charges that include narco-terrorism and weapons offenses.

One person applauding his capture—and the bold U.S. raid in Venezuela that made it possible last Saturday—is United States Marine veteran Matthew Heath.

Heath spent two years as one of Maduro’s political prisoners and experienced that brutality firsthand.

December's jobs numbers are out.

The weaker-than-expected report showed payrolls rose just 50,000 last month, while the jobless rate dipped to 4.4 percent — suggesting people are leaving the workforce and reinforcing the “low-hire, low-fire” labor market narrative.

While today’s jobs data was mixed, Republicans say relief is on the way.

Ever since President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 on July 4th of last year, the party has been touting its policies and telling constituents how they stand to gain from tax cuts taking effect this year.

Some of that rel...

Just a day after U.S. Delta Forces captured wanted narco-terrorist and Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah will no longer be operating in the South American country. The U.S.-designated Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah lashed out at the U.S. after Maduro was captured. Besides giving a terror group a new home, trading weapons and oil, how else has Iran and Hezbollah helped years of dictatorships in Venezuela?

Venezuela’s ousted leader, Nicolás Maduro, is now behind bars in a Brooklyn prison, facing charges that include narco-terrorism and weapons offenses. While support for the U.S. operation that led to Maduro’s capture appears to fall largely along party lines, there is broad agreement that the imprisoned dictator’s regime was brutal. United States Marine veteran Matthew Heath spent two years as one of Maduro’s political prisoners and experienced that cruelty firsthand. Heath recounts how he was kidnapped by the Venezuelan government, the torture he endured, and what he hopes lies ahead for the country following M...

Minnesota's Governor Tim Walz has announced he will not be seeking reelection this year as he continues to grapple with a fraud scandal with multiple costly alleged money laundering operations with ties to the Somali community in the Twin Cities.

Venezuela’s embattled leader, Nicolás Maduro, is in a New York City courtroom today—facing charges that include narco-terrorism and conspiracy to import cocaine.

The House Oversight Committee is intensifying their investigation into the state of Minnesota hemorrhaging funds through fraud schemes in its social benefit programs. The Department of Justice says one of the largest schemes involved 'the Feeding Our Future scheme' which resulted in a $250 million loss when fraudsters received payments from the state for services that were never fulfilled. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota, and the Small Business Administration (SBA) suspended nearly 7-thousand loans amid the mounting scrutiny over accusations of fraud involving child daycare centers across the...

After two competing healthcare plans failed to advance in the Senate on Thursday, pressure is growing for Congress to come up with an alternative solution before subsidies for the Affordable Care Act appear set to expire at the end of the year.

A company that sells non-lethal self-defense weapons has brought a lawsuit against the State of California, alleging a state heavy on gun restrictions, was violating the Second Amendment because it is making it difficult for people to buy their products. Byrna Technologies, who's weapons look like handguns but shoot powerful chemical irritants rather than lethal bullets are legal in 50 states, but California has blocked sales of Byrna's ammunition and launchers. The complaint compares Byrna's products to Tasers and other stun guns which both received Second Amendment protections by the Supreme Court.

For the third time this year, the Federal Reserve cut key interest rates by a quarter-point earlier this week—however, to the chagrin of President Trump, they also signaled this may be the last reduction for several months.

While lower rates can bring down borrowing costs for mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards, Chair Jerome Powell doubts their move on Wednesday would bring much relief to what he called the ‘struggling housing’ sector.

However, Powell also appeared optimistic about economic growth in 2026, and was encouraged by the ongoing investment in artificial intelligence

President Trump is holding campaign-style events to argue he is fixing the economy and lowering costs, as Democrats point to their recent election wins to say voters blame him for high prices.

With Affordable Care Act subsidies set to expire at the end of the month, millions of Americans could soon see their monthly health insurance premiums spike. Republicans say they have new ideas to rein in healthcare costs, while Democrats argue those proposals fall short and COVID-era subsidies should be extended. Paragon Health Institute President Brian Blase joins the Rundown to explain why he says Obamacare subsidies should expire, what could actually help bring down health care costs, and why he says the ACA has failed to help patients and only made insurance companies richer.

President Trump is heading to Pennsylvania to defend his economic record and push back on what he calls a Democratic “con job” over affordability, as new polls show voters remain deeply pessimistic about the economy.

President Donald Trump is turning up the pressure on various governors and Republican Party members to pass congressional redistricting. A lot of heat is being put on Indiana Republican state senators who are resisting the push for the red state to pass redistricting, but just last week the Supreme Court upheld the new map that was set in Texas. Illinois and Maryland, two blue states, and Virginia, where Democrats control the legislature, are also seriously considering redistricting.

You could call this an early Christmas gift. A delayed September PCE report was released last week, focusing on core inflation—a price measure closely watched by the Federal Reserve. It came in cooler than expected, which is encouraging for the Trump administration, as it has been pushing the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates.

While attention is on this week’s rate decision, eyes are already on next year. You could say the current Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, is on Trump’s naughty list, and the nominee to replace him will likely be named in early 2026. What w...

This week, Republicans were able to breathe a sigh of relief after winning a congressional special election in Tennessee.

Earlier this week, Realtor.com released its 2026 housing forecast, and there is some good news.

Mortgage rates are expected to fall to 6.3% from an average of 6.6%.

Israel's spy agencies are the stuff of legend.

From domestic intelligence gathering to rooting out terrorism in its own backyard, to disrupting and dismantling Iranian-backed terrorist armies entrenched in neighboring Arab states, Israel has led the world in both covert and overt operations.

One leader of its foreign intelligence agencies, the Mossad, had the foresight to see how gathering intelligence and using it to act quickly could benefit not only Israel but also its allies and, at times, its adversaries, and could be a political tool used to forge peace.
