  • Is the Pipeline Attack a Preview of Future Cyber Warfare?
    America’s infrastructure has been attacked. Last week’s cyberattack against Colonial Pipeline Co. shut down critical fuel network supply lines and raised the possibility of gas price hikes and fuel shortages. National security experts have long worried about these attacks, and fear future ones on our critical infrastructure could get much worse. Bruce Schneier, a security technologist and lecturer at the Harvard Kennedy School, explains how the Colonial Pipeline attack took place, how similar ransomware could cause much more damage and how this is what future wars could resemble. Then, former CIA station chief and Fox News contributor Daniel Hoffman, explains what our national security services can do to prevent such attacks and fight back.
    The pandemic has revealed major weaknesses in the American supply chain system and the latest case of this can be seen in the skyrocketing price of lumber in the United States. Fox News and Fox Business Network Correspondent Grady Trimble joins to explain how the supply of lumber has been impacted by the lagging growth in the workforce, how the boom in the housing market has created an exaggerated scarcity of lumber and what other U.S. resources are experiencing shortages .
    Plus, commentary by Fox News medical contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier

  • FOX News Rundown Extra: "The Existential Threat Of Our Time": Why Rep. Waltz Says Americans Must Wake Up
    During his address to a joint session of Congress last month, President Biden called for Congress to come up with bipartisan immigration reform. This is something lawmakers in Washington have been attempting for decades, but with zero results.
    On the FOX News Rundown earlier this week, host Jessica Rosenthal spoke to Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL) about the current crisis at the border, what the Biden Administration can do differently and why Republicans and Democrats can never make a deal on immigration despite there being apparent common ground on some issues.
    The interview was too long and we could not include it all in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with Rep. Waltz.
    In this extended version, Rep. Waltz had a dire warning about China, calling the nation "the existential threat of our time."  He says China is using its access to rare and critical minerals as leverage against the U.S. and could make it harder for Americans to manufacture things as vital as ammunition. This is something the Republican congressman sees as a national security threat.

  • Evening Edition: The United States Backs Suspension Of Vaccine Intellectual Property Rights, Surprising Allies
    The White House has announced they support suspending the intellectual property rights on COVID-19 vaccine in order to increase vaccine production. This has surprised European Allies including Germany that have said they wouldn't like to cross that line. Other opponents say it won't help because ramping up production of vaccines is not based solely on the recipe but the raw materials available and the production facility capabilities. FOX's Trey Yingst speaks with Craig Singleton, of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, about the announcement and what it may mean to vaccine production and the companies that developed their own.

  • Evening Edition: Social Media Block Of Conservatives Shows Imbalance Of Bans
    The Facebook Oversight Board may have extended Donald Trump's ban but it also gives the social media company six months to decide on a permanent ban and justify its decision. The board was created to make such calls and now has sent that decision back to the company, once again calling into question how social media sites actually decide on banning content or users. FOX's Trey Yingst speaks with Kara Frederick, former NSA Analyst & Tech Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, about the ban on the former president and what goes into the judgments social media companies make.
