The Fox News Rundown

The U.S. military is now confirming that two men, found to have been present illegally inside the United States, having crossed the border from Mexico, tried to gain access to the Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia. Quantico is one of the nation's most sensitive bases in the nation and is not far from Washington D.C.. While the attempted breach occurred two weeks ago, it's gotten little attention by the media and the White House has said very little about the incident. FOX News’ Griff Jenkins, who has been reporting on the problematic U.S. border with Mexico for years, discusses what happened at Quantico and other national security concerns related to our Southern border including the growing amount of Chinese migrants entering the country.

Recent FOX News polling shows that most Americans would vote for former President Trump over President Biden if they had to cast their ballots today. Those polls show President Biden currently trailing behind by one percentage point in a two-way matchup, giving his supporters some hope that victory is still possible in November. On Wednesday, the two leading candidates agreed to not one but two debates this year, with the parameters being negotiated by the campaigns. FOX News Sunday Anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to discuss the latest polls, the suspected rules for the first debate, and why the President's latest response to the Israel-Hamas war isn't helping his campaign. A potential wake-up call for four-year colleges comes after a new report found that public universities saw a record-setting drop in revenue in 2023. Schools are making less money despite tuition costs across the country steadily rising. In fact, college tuition and fees have jumped 860% since 1983. While skyrocketing tuition costs are forcing students to make tough decisions about pursuing higher education, more affordable trade schools are seeing their enrollment numbers on the rise. FOX Business correspondent Madison Alworth joins the podcast to explain why costs have risen, struggling college enrollment, and how schools are justifying their massive price tags.

The recent spate of anti-Israel protests on college campuses has raised a larger question of who is running schools, institutions, and newsrooms. In many cases, university faculty have come out in support of student protesters, despite some demonstrations featuring violence and anti-Semitism.

Meanwhile, the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which's been tasked with finding safe sponsors for unaccompanied minors, has been scrutinized for their vetting process that has placed some minors with human traffickers.

Election Day is now just 27 weeks away, and many polls are giving former President Donald Trump the advantage. This is despite his multiple legal troubles. President Biden, on the other hand, is losing ground with key Democratic voting blocks, like African Americans, who are unhappy with his handling of the economy, the border and multiple foreign conflicts. Arnon Mishkin, the Director Of The News Decision Desk, joins the Rundown to explain what’s behind President Trump’s polling lead and why an acquittal in his criminal hush money trial could be a huge boost for his re-election hopes. New numbers released by the Federal Reserve are causing alarm as core inflation rose over the last month, leading to fears of "stagflation".

While spending remains strong, homebuyers face skyrocketing interest rates and low housing stock. Co-Host of the Big Money Show on FOX Business Brian Brenberg joins to discuss the impact that inflation is having on the economy, why the housing market has cooled off, and what needs to be done to slow inflation and boost investments.

Or acts of intimidation? FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with William Jacobson, Cornell Law Professor, who has seen protests on his campus and says this has been building in academia for decades.

Inflation is creeping back up, with the prices of common goods rising 0.4% in March from the previous month, according to the Labor Department. Yet, President Joe Biden continues to tout that his policies are working, saying that under his administration, inflation has fallen from its peak. However, polls suggest that his economic message is not resonating with voters. On the Rundown, co-anchor of America's Newsroom, Bill Hemmer, joins to discuss how the economy, the border, and the abortion issue will impact 2024 voters. Congress is in crunch time to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, as it is often referred to. House Republicans have worked on reforms for the act, which they say has been misused over the past two decades to unlawfully spy on American citizens, who in some cases have not committed a crime. The deadline for reauthorization is set for April 19, but it has faced heavy pushback by GOP hardliners. FOX News Contributor and retired CIA Station Chief Dan Hoffman joins the Rundown to explain what function FISA serves, the reforms that Republicans are aiming to get approved, and the national security implications if the act is not reauthorized.

Jennifer and James Crumbley were both sentenced to 10–15 years in prison on charges of involuntary manslaughter after the prosecution convinced the jury that the Crumbley's gross negligence enabled their son to commit a mass shooting at Oxford High School in 2021. Sentencing the parents of mass shooters is a relatively new concept for the courts. While the sentencing guidelines for this crime are typically seven years, the actual sentence Judge Cheryl Matthews handed down exceeded those guidelines, opting for a harsher-than-recommended punishment. Criminal defense attorney Jonna Spilbor joins the podcast to break down how this case marks a shift in standards for punishing guardians of mass shooters, why she feels that this case should not have been taken to criminal court, and shares her fears that this ruling will be a legal slippery slope. U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas is set to become the first cabinet member facing impeachment in over 100 years. The move has been met with enthusiasm from Senate Republicans. Now, it faces an unlikely path forward, with Senate Majority Leader Schumer reportedly looking at multiple procedural options to avoid or table these articles of impeachment. House Speaker Johnson revealed on Tuesday that they would plan on delivering articles to the Senate next week, showing the GOP is not done fighting for this trial. Senator Roger Marshall (R-K.S.) says not allowing the trial would be “a nuclear option for the Democrats.” He joins the podcast to explain why our border crisis can be traced back to Secretary Mayorkas and why he believes impeachment is necessary.

Earlier this week, former President Donald Trump announced his official stance on abortion, saying this issue “should be left to the states” instead of supporting federal regulation. Abortion access and rights remain a top issue for Democrats heading to the polls in November. Former President Trump’s statement has spurred disagreement among other pro-life Republicans, such as Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who says he prefers a federal ban at 15 weeks of pregnancy. Main Street Columnist for the Wall Street Journal and former Chief Speechwriter for President George W. Bush, William McGurn, joins the Rundown to discuss why the former President’s decision on abortion policy was a "wise one," the merit of states deciding this issue, and why he doubts it will be a winning issue for Democrats.
