Business Rundown: What the Venezuela Raid Means—and Doesn’t Mean—for Gas Prices
Venezuela’s embattled leader, Nicolás Maduro, is in a New York City courtroom today—facing charges that include narco-terrorism and conspiracy to import cocaine.
This weekend’s bold operation in Venezuela has major geopolitical implications but could also impact oil supply abroad.
While oil prices have seen some movement since news broke Saturday morning, energy stocks are rising as investors bet U.S. companies could eventually gain access to Venezuela’s massive oil reserves.
All of this comes as we kick off a new year and a new month—one that could bring a significant announcement from President Trump on his next pick for Federal Reserve chair… along with a potential Supreme Court ruling on the president’s tariffs.
Kenny Polcari, the Chief Market Strategist at SlateStone
Wealth, joins FOX Business' Lydia Hu to discuss how investors are reacting to the news out of Venezuela. Plus, he lays out his expectations for this week and 2026.

What the Arrest of Venezuela’s Maduro Means for the Region, U.S. Security
The Trump administration is defending a dramatic U.S. operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife and brought them to the United States to face criminal charges tied to narcotics trafficking and corruption. Officials say the mission was carried out as a law-enforcement action with military support, while critics raise questions about congressional notification and the long-term impact on Venezuela’s governance and regional stability. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford (R-AR), joins the Rundown to detail the legal authority behind the operation, the decision not to notify Congress in advance, and the administration’s broader strategy for securing the Western Hemisphere.
2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year as America prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary. President Trump is promising the 'most spectacular birthday party the world has ever seen' on July 4th—the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. America’s Newsroom co-anchor Bill Hemmer joins the Rundown to discuss the importance of celebrating the nation’s history, the founding principles that continue to shape America, and his role in the new FOX News Audio podcast, The 250 Most Impactful Moments in American History.
Plus, commentary by Senior Fellow at the Lexington Institute, Dr. Rebecca Grant.

Extra: Nearly a Year Later, California Wildfire Survivors Still Struggling
Thousands of Californians who lost their homes in devastating wildfires nearly a year ago are still waiting to rebuild. Insurance gaps, infrastructure delays, and red tape have slowed the process for many families trying to regain a sense of normalcy.
For many homeowners, a new deadline is approaching as mortgage forbearance periods expire—raising the prospect of making payments on homes that no longer exist, while they continue to pay rent and shoulder other costs associated with being displaced.
Rachel Jonas and Rob Fagnani, who lost their Pacific Palisades home in the fire, recently joined the Rundown’s Jessica Rosenthal to explain the challenges their community is facing and why they launched DisasterMortgageRelief.com, a website dedicated to helping victims of last year’s wildfires and other natural disasters.
They detail the urgent need for disaster mortgage relief and explain why families like theirs should not be punished for trying to rebuild their communities after fires, floods, storms, and other catastrophes.
We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full conversation.
Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we’re sharing our complete interview with DisasterMortgageRelief.com founders Rachel Jonas and Rob Fagnani, where you’ll learn more about rebuilding efforts in California—and why they hope to provide more tools and hope for disaster victims nationwide.

Evening Edition: Minnesota Rep. Stauber Says Gov. Walz Will Be Out Of Office Next November
The House Oversight Committee is intensifying their investigation into the state of Minnesota hemorrhaging funds through fraud schemes in its social benefit programs. The Department of Justice says one of the largest schemes involved 'the Feeding Our Future scheme' which resulted in a $250 million loss when fraudsters received payments from the state for services that were never fulfilled. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota, and the Small Business Administration (SBA) suspended nearly 7-thousand loans amid the mounting scrutiny over accusations of fraud involving child daycare centers across the state.
FOX's Ryan Schmelz speaks with Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN) says the scams are so numerous in his state that he calls it 'incompetence or dereliction of duty', and Governor Walz will be out of office in November.
