33m · The Fox News Rundown · 20 Apr 09:00

Early Friday morning, Israel conducted a "limited" strike on Iran in retaliation for Tehran firing a barrage of missiles and drones at the country last Saturday. Reports suggest Iran doesn't have immediate plans to respond to the most recent attack. However, U.S. lawmakers fear a wider Mideast war is on the horizon, with the House proposing several bills throughout the week. One such bill passed that would redesignate Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen as a terrorist group.Senior Fellow and Military Expert at Defense Priorities Daniel Davisjoins to discuss the current state of play in Iran. House Democrats took an abnormal approach and helped Republican leaders move forward with a test vote that could advance a bill that would provide $95 billion in aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.

Evening Edition: The Attempted Marine Base Breach Few Are Talking About

The U.S. military is now confirming that two men, found to have been present illegally inside the United States, having crossed the border from Mexico, tried to gain access to the Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia. Quantico is one of the nation's most sensitive bases in the nation and is not far from Washington D.C.. While the attempted breach occurred two weeks ago, it's gotten little attention by the media and the White House has said very little about the incident. FOX News’ Griff Jenkins, who has been reporting on the problematic U.S. border with Mexico for years, discusses what happened at Quantico and other national security concerns related to our Southern border including the growing amount of Chinese migrants entering the country.

Shannon Bream on 2024 Polls, Debates About Debates, And The RFK Jr. Snub

Recent FOX News polling shows that most Americans would vote for former President Trump over President Biden if they had to cast their ballots today. Those polls show President Biden currently trailing behind by one percentage point in a two-way matchup, giving his supporters some hope that victory is still possible in November. On Wednesday, the two leading candidates agreed to not one but two debates this year, with the parameters being negotiated by the campaigns. FOX News Sunday Anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to discuss the latest polls, the suspected rules for the first debate, and why the President's latest response to the Israel-Hamas war isn't helping his campaign. A potential wake-up call for four-year colleges comes after a new report found that public universities saw a record-setting drop in revenue in 2023. Schools are making less money despite tuition costs across the country steadily rising. In fact, college tuition and fees have jumped 860% since 1983. While skyrocketing tuition costs are forcing students to make tough decisions about pursuing higher education, more affordable trade schools are seeing their enrollment numbers on the rise. FOX Business correspondent Madison Alworth joins the podcast to explain why costs have risen, struggling college enrollment, and how schools are justifying their massive price tags.
