The Fox News Rundown

Earlier this week, Air Force Secretary Troy Meink acknowledged for the first time that the Space Force has deployed weapons in orbit. There was no disclosure of what the systems are, how many exist, where they are located, or when they were deployed. The announcement comes as Sec. Meink outlined a broader effort to reshape how the Air Force and Space Force fight in an era of AI-enabled warfare.

FOX’s John Saucier speaks with Dr. Rebecca Grant, national security analyst and Vice President of the Lexington Institute, who explains what sort of weapons they could be and advantages of having them.

The assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University has sparked a major wrongful death claim targeting severe event security failures. Retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent and FOX News contributor James Gagliano details the egregious lapses that allowed alleged gunman, Tyler Robinson, to carry out the attack, how campus officials left rooftops unmonitored for a 3,000-person crowd, and ignored clear warnings—drawing direct, chilling parallels to the security breakdowns in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Fears about AI capabilities are developing as quickly as the technology itself. Leaders in the industry along with lawmakers are issuing warnings about the potential risks AI poses. Congressman Jay Obernolte (R-CA) was the chairman of the bipartisan House Task Force on AI, which concluded in late 2024. He joins FOX's Aishah Hasnie to discuss the apprehensive sentiment surrounding the conversation about artificial intelligence and whether Congress can realistically pass meaningful regulation.

This all happening amid growing safety and national-security concerns with ongoing debates over the construction of data centers.

Tech leaders are warning against the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence potentially outpacing human control, and Washington is locked in a fierce debate over how to regulate the technology. Congressman Mike Lawler (R-NY) joins FOX’S Bill Melugin to break down his new bipartisan legislation designed to establish federal guardrails against rogue bots and cyber threats as officials look to implement guardrails while keeping pace with China.

As the Federal Reserve meets to weigh a potential interest rate hike under Chair Kevin Warsh, persistent inflation and rising diesel prices continue to pressure the economy. FOX Business contributor and Barron’s Investor Circle newsletter editor Josh Schafer joins to discuss why the central bank is considering this move to protect its credibility, how it could impact consumer borrowing costs and mortgage rates, and how President Trump might react to the decision.

Iran-backed Houthi rebels continue to seize territory in Yemen and now have captured strategic islands around the area of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait which connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. Commercial shipping through Hormuz remains deeply disrupted and the Houthis could cause it to completely shutdown. The rebels have also picked up attacks on Saudi Arabia causing the kingdom's East-West Pipeline to be shut off as a precaution, surging oil prices by 2%.



FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Behnam Ben Taleblu, senior director of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies' Iran Program, who says this is Tehran trying to open another front in the conflict and regain control of the Strait of Hormuz.
