The Fox News Rundown

What is really happening inside the Ivy League? This week, New York Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik joined the FOX News Rundown and Jessica Rosenthal to discuss her provocative new book, Poisoned Ivies: The Inside Account of the Academic and Moral Rot at America’s Elite Universities.

Stefanik, who dominated headlines following her viral questioning of university presidents during a 2023 congressional hearing, opens up about the fallout from that day and why she believes antisemitism has been allowed to flourish on elite campuses.

Stefanik also discussed the conflict with Iran, the high-stakes debate over DHS funding, and the personal reasoning behind her decision to leave Congress at the end of her current term.

Today on the FOX News Rundown Extra, we share our full interview with Rep. Elise Stefanik.

Is the "Medical Tourism" bargain worth the risk? Millions of Americans travel abroad every year for everything from cosmetic surgery and dental work to cancer treatments and organ transplants. While the primary draw is often the significantly lower price tag, the hidden costs can be deadly. From unapproved medical products to the harrowing "horror stories" of procedures gone wrong in destinations like Turkey and Mexico, the dangers of seeking care outside U.S. regulations are rising.

FOX News Rundown host Lisa Brady sits down with Dr. Sheila Nazarian, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and professor at USC, to pull back the curtain on this growing trend. They discuss why patients are fleeing the U.S. healthcare system, the life-threatening risks of "discount" surgery, and the essential safety questions every patient must ask before booking a flight for a procedure.

It’s been a busy week on Capitol Hill as Congress returns from a lengthy recess. Amid a record-long DHS shutdown and debate over an extension of the Foreign Intelligence and Surveillance Act, they must also contend with two scandal-ridden resignations, with another two potentially not far off. FOX News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins the Rundown to assess what Congress has been up to in their first week back on the job, the resignations of Eric Stalwell and Tony Gonzales and whether DHS stands to reopen anytime soon.

President Trump says that the Strait of Hormuz is "completely open and ready for business and full passage." Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi also commented saying the waterway is open through a "coordinated route." President Trump also added, in a phone interview, that Iran has "agreed to everything" including working with the U.S. to remove enriched uranium from Iran.



FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Christine Balling, former U.S. Defense Advisor and the Senior Vice President at the Institute of World Politics, who says President Trump must have a certain level of confidence to say the Strait of Hormuz is open, but adds the United States military will continue to apply pressure to make sure it remains open.
