From Washington: The President's First Year 'Report Card'

Evening Edition: Former Kentucky AG Running To Replace Mitch McConnell

Former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, once considered a protégé of Sen. Mitch McConnell, is now running to replace him. Cameron served as legal counsel for McConnell, who is retiring next year after four decades in the U.S. Senate. McConnell's departure after more than 40 years in office, leaves an opening for Kentuckians to elect a more conservative, Trump-loyal candidate.

Business Rundown: The President's Plan To Make Housing Affordable Again

Good news this week as mortgage rates fell again, hitting their lowest level in more than three years. According to Freddie Mac, the average rate on the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage decreased to 6.06%, down from last week’s reading of 6.16%. While there appears to be progress in the housing market, President Trump has made it clear that his administration is working to provide direct relief to homebuyers. Part of that plan involves directing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to purchase $200 billion in mortgage-backed securities to further drive down borrowing costs. The President is also working to ban large institutional investors from buying single-family homes—and to allow potential buyers to use their 401 (k) funds for down payments. Jessica Lautz, who is the Deputy Chief Economist and Vice President of Research At The National Association of Realtors, joins the FOX Business Network’s Gerri Willis to discuss the state of the housing market, some of the President's ideas, and what can be done to make the American dream more affordable.

Why Washington Is Cracking Down On The Credit Card Industry

President Trump is proposing a one-year cap on credit card interest rates at 10% alongside the Credit Card Competition Act, a bipartisan push aimed at increasing competition in the credit card processing industry–moves supporters say could ease cost-of-living pressures for Americans. Sen. Roger Marshall joins to discuss the potential impacts and criticisms of the proposals, his push for greater competition across industries, and the bipartisan cooperation behind the credit card bill. Prediction markets like Polymarket allow users to place bets on the outcomes of real-world events like sports, elections or global conflicts. But their rapid growth is raising new questions in Washington as a U.S. version rolls out. Lawmakers are warning that government insiders could be using non-public information to profit on these platforms, following high-profile trades tied to major political and international developments. Chris Giancarlo, the former chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, joins the Rundown to talk about what exactly Polymarket is and whether it needs tighter rules to prevent insider trading.

Evening Edition: Iranians Determined To Overthrow Brutal Theocracy

Iranian security forces have escalated from pellet guns to live ammunition during the ongoing protests across the country, drastically increasing deaths that could be as high as over 10-thousand casualties. The situation for protesters seemed to shift after authorities imposed internet blackouts and cut off communication outside of the country. The protests have been fueled by anger over economic hardship, with rising prices and inflation but has expanded into a call for the end of Ayatollah Khomeini's rule and the return of exiled Crown Prince Reva Pahlavi who supports a secular-democracy. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Khosro Isfahani, Senior Research Analyst at the National Union for Democracy in Iran (NUFDI), who says the fall of this regime is just a matter of time, and explains why the exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi receives so much support.

Is the Supreme Court About To Overrule the President’s Economic Agenda?

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.

Evening Edition: SCOTUS Hears Arguments That Could Set Rules For Transgender Athletes Nationwide

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?

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.
