President Donald Trump said over the weekend that Iran is "starting to" cross U.S. red lines, with reports of civilian deaths and Tehran cutting off all internet access to the country. The Associated Press has reported over 500 hundred protesters have been killed and thousands of others jailed, with those numbers expected to rise drastically. President Trump has said that the U.S. Military has many 'very strong options' to respond if the Iranian government does not stop using violence against unarmed protests. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Daniel Flesch, Senior Policy Analyst for Middle East and North Africa at The Heritage Foundation, who says Iran's leadership is at their weakest point in decades, and the next move by the White House could be key to how things proceed.

Business Rundown: Fed Chair On Hot Seat, As Criminal Probe Rocks the Federal Reserve
1/12/2026 | 17 mins.
In a video released Sunday evening, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell announced that he is under investigation by the Justice Department over his testimony last year about the Fed’s building renovation project. Powell says the central bank has received grand jury subpoenas. He defended the renovations at the center of the criminal probe and denied any wrongdoing. He also claimed he is being targeted for not aligning with President Trump’s preference for cutting interest rates. The president, who has been a public critic of Powell and his policies, says he had no knowledge of the investigation. Critics say this places the administration under scrutiny. This bombshell comes just as President Trump says he is winding down his search for the next Federal Reserve chair. Gary Kaltbaum, the president of Kaltbaum Capital Management and a Fox Business contributor, joins FOX Business Network's Lydia to react to the news of the criminal probe and the buzz among investors as they wait to see who the next Fed chair may be.

Extra: What's Behind The Massive Vaccine Guideline Changes
1/11/2026 | 26 mins.
The CDC announced Monday a major overhaul of the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule, reducing the number of routine immunizations recommended for children. In December, President Trump directed Health and Human Services officials to examine how other developed nations schedule vaccines and to reconsider the U.S. approach. FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary said the changes are intended to restore public trust in health institutions that was lost during the pandemic. However, criticism has been fierce. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have pushed back, and the American Academy of Pediatrics has called the move dangerous and unnecessary. Vaccine schedules are handled by the states, meaning states may continue to mandate certain vaccines for school attendance. The updated recommendations also do not eliminate insurance coverage for any vaccines. The CDC changes create three categories. The eleven vaccines that remain in the recommended category include measles, mumps, rubella, polio, pertussis, HPV, and chickenpox. A second category recommends vaccines for individuals considered high-risk, including hepatitis A and B and RSV. The third category includes vaccines available by personal choice after consultation with a doctor, including COVID-19, flu, rotavirus, and others. Earlier this week, former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield joined FOX News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss the new and reduced childhood vaccine schedule recommendations. Dr. Redfield, author of the new book Redfield’s Warning: What I Learned (But Couldn’t Tell You) Might Save Your Life, explained why he supports the changes, while also emphasizing the importance of doctors clearly explaining the benefits of vaccines. He also discussed why public trust has eroded and why encouraging vaccine choice and transparency could ultimately lead more Americans to get the shots needed to protect themselves from disease. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full conversation. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we share our entire interview with former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield—and more of his perspective on vaccines. Learn more about your ad choices.
