Protestors all across Iran continue to take to the streets calling for the ouster of Ayatollah Khamenei in what is being called the most serious challenge to the regime in years. Tehran has cut off all internet and foreign phone calls as bonfires and debris litter the streets of the capital and other cities in the country. President Trump has warned that the United States would intervene if the Iranian security forces harmed protesters. FOX's Jonathan Savage speaks with Dr. Majid Sadeghpour, human rights activist and a board member and the political director for The Organization of Iranian-American Communities (OIAC), who says these intensifying protests are very much putting pressure on the Iranian theocracy, and they discuss how these demonstrations could possibly play out.

December's jobs numbers are out. The weaker-than-expected report showed payrolls rose just 50,000 last month, while the jobless rate dipped to 4.4 percent — suggesting people are leaving the workforce and reinforcing the “low-hire, low-fire” labor market narrative. While today’s jobs data was mixed, Republicans say relief is on the way. Ever since President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 on July 4th of last year, the party has been touting its policies and telling constituents how they stand to gain from tax cuts taking effect this year. Some of that relief includes a higher standard deduction and an expanded child tax credit. The Big Beautiful Bill also included no tax on tips, Social Security, and overtime. However, Democrats have called the legislation the “big, beautiful betrayal,” saying it only helped America’s richest. FOX Business' Gerri Willis speaks with Steve Moore, the cofounder of Unlead Prosperity and a former Trump economic advisor, about what Americans expect as the policies of the Big Beautiful Bill begin to roll out.

Blake Moore (R-UT), co-chair of the Congressional Friends of Denmark Caucus, who says such talk against a NATO ally is dangerous, and he shares his thoughts on the Minneapolis ICE shooting.

Just a day after U.S. Delta Forces captured wanted narco-terrorist and Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah will no longer be operating in the South American country. The U.S.-designated Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah lashed out at the U.S. after Maduro was captured.

Venezuela’s ousted leader, Nicolás Maduro, is now behind bars in a Brooklyn prison, facing charges that include narco-terrorism and weapons offenses. While support for the U.S. operation that led to Maduro’s capture appears to fall largely along party lines, there is broad agreement that the imprisoned dictator’s regime was brutal. United States Marine veteran Matthew Heath spent two years as one of Maduro’s political prisoners and experienced that cruelty firsthand. Heath recounts how he was kidnapped by the Venezuelan government, the torture he endured, and what he hopes lies ahead for the country following Maduro’s capture. The CDC is recommending a new, scaled-back childhood vaccine schedule, no longer broadly advising vaccines for protection against rotavirus, hepatitis A and B, certain forms of meningitis, or RSV. The Trump administration says the change will not prevent families who want the vaccines from accessing them, and that insurance coverage will remain in place. Critics, however, warn the move could create confusion for parents and potentially lead to an increase in preventable diseases. Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield joins the Rundown to explain why he believes it’s important to take a fresh look at vaccines—while still emphasizing the need to educate the public about their benefits.

On Monday, Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro pleaded "not guilty" to charges brought against him by the Trump administration following his capture over the weekend in a U.S. operation. Maduro was arraigned on narco-terrorism, drug trafficking, and weapons charges. Following his arrest, some world leaders and Democrats in Congress have questioned the legality of removing Maduro from power. Former state and federal prosecutor Jim Trusty joins the Rundown to discuss the strength of the case against Maduro and whether other witnesses will cooperate. The arrest of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro has sparked international backlash, emergency meetings at the United Nations, and condemnation from some U.S. allies. Supporters of President Trump’s decision to greenlight Operation Absolute Resolve argue the move delivers a major blow not only to the country’s drug networks, but also to American adversaries like Iran, Hezbollah, and China, which have expanded their presence in Venezuela and the region. Ian Bremmer, president and founder of the Eurasia Group, joins the Rundown to assess the challenges ahead—including the possibility of the U.S. using military force to secure offshore oil infrastructure and cut off Venezuela’s exports—and how the Trump administration is reshaping American power and influence across the Western Hemisphere.
