• Business Rundown: Will The Fed Grant Investors' Christmas Wish This Week?

  You could call this an early Christmas gift. A delayed September PCE report was released last week, focusing on core inflation—a price measure closely watched by the Federal Reserve. It came in cooler than expected, which is encouraging for the Trump administration, as it has been pushing the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates. While attention is on this week’s rate decision, eyes are already on next year. You could say the current Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, is on Trump’s naughty list, and the nominee to replace him will likely be named in early 2026. What will that mean for the direction of monetary policy? Kenny Polcari, the Chief Market Strategist at Slatestone Wealth, shares insights on what investors are expecting from the Fed this week, who they think may replace Powell, and what to anticipate from the markets in the final weeks of 2025.

• Extra: "When The Badge Becomes The Target"

  A House Homeland Security Committee hearing turned tense earlier this week as lawmakers clashed over the source and impact of violent rhetoric toward law enforcement. Democrats focused on the events of January 6th and the conduct of ICE agents during raids, while Republicans and union officials warned that rising threats, including last week’s fatal shooting of two National Guard soldiers in Washington, D.C., indicate that officers are facing unprecedented danger. They also highlighted how the rhetoric and the risk of violence are impacting police recruitment and retention. Colorado Congressman and former police officer Gabe Evans joins the Rundown’s Jessica Rosenthal following Wednesday’s hearing to discuss the challenges and dangers law enforcement is currently facing. Rep. Evans explained why he believes there are consequences to this rhetoric and how it's affecting recruitment, safety, and public trust. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Colorado Congressman and former police officer Gabe Evans. Learn more about your ad choices.

• From Washington: Time Is Running Out for Lawmakers to Meet a Critical Health Care Deadline

  This week, Republicans were able to breathe a sigh of relief after winning a congressional special election in Tennessee. With an already slim majority, a loss would have been a major blow to the GOP and their ability to accomplish anything in the House of Representatives. The victory comes as members of Congress race to finalize a healthcare deal before the end of the year. However, both Republicans and Democrats remain at a standstill, despite the government reopening last month. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins us to break down whether an agreement can be reached on healthcare and why it could hurt lawmakers if they fail to get a deal done by January 1st. Later, Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) joins us to discuss the ongoing debate over health care reform in Congress and the U.S. military's recent operation targeting suspected drug trafficking boats off the coast of Venezuela.

• Extra: The Alarming Gaps in America's Immigration Vetting System

  The Trump administration is ready to roll out new limits on asylum seekers, refugee processing, and even green card reviews after a suspected radicalized Afghan national was charged in the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. President Trump and Homeland Security officials say the move is part of an effort to tighten vetting and shift the burden of proof for those already in the U.S., including refugees admitted during the Biden years. Ken Cuccinelli, former USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) director and current Senior Fellow for Homeland Security, joined host Jessica Rosenthal on the Rundown this past week to explain what these new rules mean for Afghan refugees and the other 19 travel ban countries. Cuccinelli described the vetting system as needing improvement, saying that certain migrants from certain countries cannot be effectively vetted and should not be allowed into America. And in some cases, if they’re already here, they should be deported. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Ken Cuccinelli, former USCIS director. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
