The Fox News Rundown

A recent AI security incident is raising new questions about how much control developers really have over increasingly advanced models. Tristan Harris, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology joins the Rundown to explain how an OpenAI model under testing escaped its closed environment and hacked into another AI platform—an incident the company called unprecedented. Plus, he discusses why lawmakers are now pushing for stronger AI safety guardrails, and the growing debate over whether open-source or closed AI models are better equipped to prevent future risks. With 14 weeks remaining until the midterm elections, Republicans are making their case to keep control of Congress while Democrats push to capitalize on voter frustration with rising costs, tariffs, and President Trump's approval ratings. Meanwhile, both parties are grappling with internal ideological shifts and rising progressive voices, as the political landscape begins to shape for 2028. Founding Partner and CEO of Arc Initiatives and former battleground director for the 2024 Harris campaign, Dan Kanninen, joins the Rundown to discuss how swing district voters are responding to economic pressures, the growing impact of progressive factions within the party, and the path forward for Democrats heading into the midterms and beyond.

Britain has named its seventh Prime Minister in ten years, as self-described socialist Andy Burnham takes the helm following Keir Starmer’s exit. What does this leftward pivot mean for the UK's economy, global defense commitments, and its relationship with the United States? Earlier this week on The FOX News Rundown, host Dave Anthony spoke with FOX News Senior Correspondent Benjamin Hall about Burnham’s ambitious plans to nationalize key industries, decentralize power away from London, and revive 1970s-style economic models. Benjamin Hall discusses what’s behind the socialism’s ‘surge’ in the UK and the political challenges it faces. He also discusses how Burnham could potentially butt heads with President Trump over foreign conflicts, trade and energy policy.

Is economic pressure enough to break Iran's nuclear ambitions—or can the regime simply wait out the U.S.? As U.S. strikes against Iranian targets continue and tensions escalate across critical global shipping lanes like the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandeb, the conflict entered a pivotal phase this past week. Recently on the FOX News Rundown, host Dave Anthony sat down with Brian Hook, former U.S. Special Representative for Iran and Senior Policy Advisor during the first Trump administration, to break down the complex geopolitical conflict. They examine the economic bottleneck of the crisis and explain why Iran is leveraging asymmetric terrorism to target energy facilities and drive up global oil and gas prices. Hook provided inside context on "Pickaxe Mountain"—detailing what lies more than 350 feet beneath the ground at Iran's heavily fortified underground nuclear facility and whether U.S. bunker-busters can neutralize it. He also shared what he says is the truth behind Iran’s negotiating tactics, their history of violating MOUs, and why Tehran believes its non-democratic regime can outlast American presidential election cycles. We often have to 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 former U.S. Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook.
