The Fox News Rundown

It is fair to say the people of the United States take pride in their freedoms of speech and protest, laws that don't exist everywhere in the world. Those rights are on full display in the number of protests across American college campuses railing against support for Israel, but as these protests become increasingly dangerous, including a stabbing at a Yale protest and protesters at Columbia University heard shouting pro-terrorist group Hamas slogans, are they still a demonstration of free expression? Or acts of intimidation? FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with William Jacobson, Cornell Law Professor, who has seen protests on his campus and says this has been building in academia for decades.

Anti-Israel protests on college campuses have continued to escalate in the past few weeks, as demonstrators have begun occupying parts of Columbia University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Critics of these Ivy League universities have called on campus administrations to take action against what they see as clear violations of the schools’ codes of conduct. MIT graduate student and President of the MIT Israel Alliance, Talia Khan joins the Rundown to discuss the anti-Semitism she is witnessing at MIT right now, how the protests changed before and after the October 7th terror attacks in Israel, and what she believes must be done to restore the safety of Jewish students on these university campuses. Grants Pass, Oregon, took the dispute over their city’s local homelessness ordinances all the way to the Supreme Court this week. Justices argued over the constitutionality of this small city’s new anti-camping rule, which aims to stop the rising homeless population from sleeping outside with municipal laws and fines. Manhattan Institute Senior Fellow and author of “Homelessness in America,” Stephen Eide joins the podcast to explain why this anti-camping rule is meant to be just one tool of many to fix the complex problem of widespread homelessness, the issues facing someone voluntarily homeless vs. involuntarily homeless, and why he believes empowering municipalities is a crucial first step towards a solution.

In the past weeks anti-Israeli demonstrations across college campuses have spread, leading to calls for campus administrators to take action against what some are calling blatant hate speech. Campus leaders are now walking a fine line, between what is covered by the first amendment, and what speech is violating school policy. Harvard Professor Arthur Brooks joins the Rundown to discuss what is causing division between students on campuses, what can be done to promote and protect diverse ideas in colleges, and why he is hopeful that America can move forward with its founding principles. There is an international race for control of the Arctic Circle.

Bill Hemmer, the co-anchor of America’s Newsroom and the host of FOX Nation’s “Battle For The Arctic”, joins the Rundown to discuss why that Arctic Circle is so valuable, how it has already created tension, and what he witnessed when he traveled there recently.

Early Friday morning, Israel conducted a "limited" strike on Iran in retaliation for Tehran firing a barrage of missiles and drones at the country last Saturday. Reports suggest Iran doesn't have immediate plans to respond to the most recent attack. However, U.S. lawmakers fear a wider Mideast war is on the horizon, with the House proposing several bills throughout the week. One such bill passed that would redesignate Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen as a terrorist group. Senior Fellow and Military Expert at Defense Priorities Daniel Davis joins to discuss the current state of play in Iran.  House Democrats took an abnormal approach and helped Republican leaders move forward with a test vote that could advance a bill that would provide $95 billion in aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) faces pushback from some House GOP members who feel that Congress should not pass the bill without including provisions for the Southern border. Speaker Johnson's fate lies in the hands of the vote, with some Congressional Republicans threatening to oust him. The House will officially vote on the bill on Saturday afternoon. FOX News Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram speaks to FOX News White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich about the fate of the speakership and previews Saturday's vote.

Israel carried out what has been described as a 'limited' missile strike against Iran in retaliation to Tehran firing more than 300 drones and missiles at Israel just days ago.

Meanwhile, two men are arrested in Germany accused of spying for Russia and plotting a bombing to undermine German aid to Ukraine. FOX's John Saucier speaks with Dr. Rebecca Grant, president of IRIS Independent Research specializing in defense and aerospace research and consulting, who says the strike was extremely 'selective' and taught both countries much about their military capabilities.

After 25 years at National Public Radio, Senior Editor Uri Berliner resigned Wednesday following backlash from fellow journalists regarding comments he made about NPR's political agenda. Berliner published an essay in The Free Press earlier this month critiquing his former employer's liberal bias, which allegedly increased following the 2016 election. Before his departure, Berliner was suspended from NPR for failing to secure approval to speak with other news outlets. Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and former member of the Board of Directors at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Howard Husock, joins the Rundown to share why people criticize NPR's public funding and why journalists should remain open-minded. A part of the immigration debate came to an end Wednesday after both articles of impeachment against U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas were voted unconstitutional in the Senate. Illegal migrant encounters reached record levels in 2023, and released migrants are scattered throughout the U.S., with many ending up in self-proclaimed “sanctuary cities.” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has announced the city plans to spend $90 million to help migrants who come to his city for six months. Within days of the Mayor’s announcement, two counties sued, challenging the state’s sanctuary laws. Douglas County Commissioner George Teal joins the podcast to explain the lawsuit, how Denver has reached “a critical mass point” with their migrant population, and how the issue threatens to spillover and hurt surrounding communities and migrants alike.
