The Fox News Rundown

Since the launch of Operation Epic Fury over two weeks ago, President Trump has said the U.S. has been very successful targeting Iran’s missiles and launchers, as well as its navy and its nuclear program.

However, many Democrats and even some Republicans—including some members of the MAGA movement—have pushed back against the President’s decision to strike Iran.

But one big Trump supporter in this conflict is his former Vice President, Mike Pence.

Earlier this week, Vice President Pence joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to discuss Operation Epic Fury. He explained why the President’s critics are wrong about their concerns surrounding Israel and the U.S. efforts to dismantle Iran’s regime.

Despite their falling out after the 2020 election, Pence told the Rundown why he applauds the Commander-in-Chief’s objectives and timing. He also discussed his work as the founder of Advancing American Freedom and what the GOP should focus on as the fall midterms approach.

Passing the SAVE America Act remains the President’s top legislative priority. But with Democrats largely opposed to the voter requirements bill, pressure is mounting on Senate Republicans to alter filibuster rules to secure its passage. Senate leadership, however, has warned that such a high-risk gamble may backfire on the party in the future. FOX News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins the Rundown to unpack the opposition to the SAVE Act and the debate over reforming the filibuster. He also breaks down the recent developments in the Epstein investigation and the ongoing partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security.

Later, former Vice President and founder of Advancing American Freedom, Mike Pence, joins to discuss his support for Operation Epic Fury and to address concerns raised by both Democrats and some members of the MAGA movement regarding the conflict.

This week, pro-Iranian hackers claimed responsibility for a devastating cyberattack against U.S. medical device company Stryker. They have also targeted data centers and industrial facilities in both the United States and Israel. As the war with Iran continues, experts are expecting an increase in such cyber-attacks in an effort to degrade the war effort, strain cyber security efforts and cause as much damage to American companies, and the economy as possible.

FOX’s Tonya J. Powers speaks with Michael Crean, Senior Vice President of Managed Services at SonicWall, a comprehensive, AI-driven cybersecurity solutions company that specializes in next-generation firewalls and cloud security, who says the goal is to wear down the war effort and hit Americans at home.
