The Fox News Rundown

The Artemis II mission is nearing its conclusion as the crew coasts back to Earth following a historic lunar flyby that broke distance records previously held by Apollo 13. FOX News senior correspondent Jonathan Serrie joins from the Johnson Space Center to discuss how the crew leveraged the moon's gravity for a high-speed return journey aiming for a Friday splashdown off the coast of San Diego. The mission serves as a critical stepping stone for a permanent human presence on the lunar south pole, with plans to test new landers before an attempted moon landing and eventual human travel to Mars.

The Department of Justice has launched a new National Fraud Enforcement Division, escalating the Trump administration’s crackdown on fraud. The move follows Vice President J.D. Vance’s anti-fraud task force and efforts by CMS to halt suspicious Medicaid payments. Haywood Talcove, CEO of LexisNexis Risk Solutions, joins us to break down the reports of waste and abuse that he says are costing taxpayers an estimated $1 trillion a year—driven largely by foreign criminal networks. Plus, how data analytics can help to expose shell companies and why experts say the current “pay and chase” system must shift to front-end identity verification to end fraudulent behavior.

Plus, commentary by Brilyn Hollyhand, 19-year-old political commentator, bestselling author of "One Generation Away: Why Now is the Time to Restore American Freedom," and host of "The Brilyn Hollyhand Show."

President Trump has set an 8 p.m. ET deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or else the U.S. will begin targeting the nation's power plants and bridges. It would be a major escalation with critics saying targeting those sites amounts to 'war crimes.' President Trump wrote on Truth Social, warning, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.”

FOX’s John Saucier speaks with Florida Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins, retired U.S. Army Green Beret, who says whatever happens when the deadline expires, he is confident our military will not be committing crimes against humanity.

President Trump is making his frustration with European allies clear as military operations in Iran continue, labeling NATO a "paper tiger" as several countries restrict airspace and decline to assist in securing the Strait of Hormuz. With NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte headed to the White House, is there a deepening rift within the alliance? Retired Army Colonel Jon Sweet joins the Rundown to discuss the readiness of our allies, as well as Iran's strategy of outlasting U.S. interest.

A pair of rescue missions inside Iranian territory ensued to find the airmen of a downed F-15E fighter jet. In separate instances, both aviators were found alive. Steve Nisbet is a retired U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant, and Pararescueman, as well as Executive Director and Founder of Shields and Stripes. He joins the Rundown to discuss the preparation and courage it took to make these rescue missions possible.
