Summary

As immigration and the economy dominate headlines, new FOX News polls reveal nearly 60% of voters now view ICE as too aggressive, prompting a strategic shift toward jail-based enforcement to reduce neighborhood operations. While the White House attempts to pivot to an economic message in Iowa ahead of the midterms, other polling shows a significant amount of Americans believe the President is not focused enough on inflation and affordability. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to break down these shifting public priorities and the Trump administration's "draw down" approach to immigration enforcement. Fox News Senior Correspondent Mike Tobin has been around the world covering war, crime, and natural disasters. But last spring, he took time off for a personal assignment: taking on one of the world’s most difficult and dangerous challenges—reaching the summit of Mount Everest. The Fox Nation documentary, Everest: Journey to the Top of the World, captures Tobin’s grueling battle against extreme weather, oxygen depletion, and the physical toll of his perilous trek to the Earth's highest summit. Tobin joins The Rundown to share his harrowing experience, the training and sacrifice required, and why he wanted to honor veterans and first responders when he finally reached the top of the world. Plus, commentary by Jimmy Failla, host of FOX Across America with Jimmy Failla on Fox News Radio and FOX News Saturday Night on FOX News Channel. Learn more about your ad choices.
