The Fox News Rundown

The United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres says that nowhere in Gaza is safe and urges for a ceasefire, warning that conditions in the region continue to deteriorate as a result of the fighting. Fighting paused temporarily last month, however, the conditions that allowed a ceasefire, no longer exist because Hamas refuses to release civilian women. Over 130 hostages remain trapped in Gaza, including several Americans. John Kirby, Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the White House National Security Council, shares details about the war in Gaza and the Biden administration's push for continued aid to Ukraine. Muslim Americans in swing states have been revoking their vote for President Biden next year due to his handling of the Israel-Hamas war, launching their own campaign called "Abandon Biden." While just over one percent of Americans are estimated to be Muslim, swing states such as Michigan and Georgia have a high population of Arab Americans, where the President won by a slim majority in 2020. Will Muslim American anger hurt his re-election in 2024? Democratic Strategist and Co-Host of The Five Jessica Tarlov speculates as to whether President Biden should rethink his stance on the divisive war, to save his campaign.

Should antisemitic speech be protected as free speech on college campuses in the U.S.?

Artificial intelligence is being utilized by more and more industries, with many seeing the convenient and revolutionary nature of the tool. However, some are calling out new uses of this new tech that are proving to be unethical. Last month, Sports Illustrated dealt with allegations that many of their recent articles were produced by AI, calling into question the publication's credibility.

The Supreme Court is currently deciding whether OxyContin-producer Purdue Pharma's proposed $6 billion bankruptcy settlement is just. This money, which aims to address the opioid crisis and repay families who have been personally impacted by opioids, initially sounded like a good deal to many Americans, but the payments would be stretched out over 18 years — and would allow the family behind Purdue Pharma to walk away scot-free. On the Rundown, Bill Nelson, who lost his 20-year-old stepson Brian to an opioid overdose, explains why he's against the deal and would rather the head of the company, Richard Sackler, be "locked up in a jail cell" than this settlement go through.

House Republicans have been digging into the Biden family's allegedly questionable business dealings for months, and they're now taking things a step further — working towards authorizing a formal impeachment inquiry into the President to strengthen House Republicans' legal standing in court while their investigation continues. Meanwhile, George Santos became the sixth member of the House to be expelled in Congressional history, making the GOP's already slim majority in the House even smaller — leading to some concerns that Republicans in the House may have even more trouble passing their agenda. On the Rundown, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) explains why opening an impeachment inquiry into the President is both reasonable and necessary based on the evidence revealed, and why many Republicans, including himself, voted against Santos' expulsion. He also adds why he believes House Republicans still have the power to band together and get the job done despite losing a number in their majority.
