The Fox News Rundown

Congress faces an uphill battle to establish a national standard for Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) in college sports. FOX News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins the Rundown to break down the challenges facing lawmakers. They discuss how the weakening authority of the NCAA has created an unrestrained “free agency” environment, concerns surrounding non-revenue Olympic and women’s sports, and more.

Plus, Washington, D.C., is hosting another historic event to celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary. The Freedom 250 Grand Prix is a 1.7-mile street circuit racing past iconic landmarks like the United States Capitol and Pennsylvania Avenue. INDYCAR driver Marcus Ericsson joins the Rundown to share what it takes to navigate a high-stakes street course at high speeds, the mental and physical demands, and what it means to represent his home country of Sweden while racing on one of America’s most famous streets.

To help bring down high beef prices, President Trump announced plans to boost imports by temporarily allowing up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef into the U.S. tariff-free. Soaring costs for burgers, steaks, and other products stem from persistent inflation and a nationwide cattle shortage—pressures further compounded by major industry shifts, including Tyson Foods closing facilities in Illinois and Utah and selling a location in Washington.

Before the President’s announcement, FOX News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal spoke with Nate Rempe, President and CEO of Omaha Steaks, and Steve Lucie, a fifth-generation farmer in Illinois. They discussed the cattle shortage, pressures on the industry, and Tyson Foods—one of the "Big Four" meatpacking companies—ending operations at its Joslin, Illinois beef facility and its Eagle Mountain, Utah case-ready facility, as well as selling a facility in Pasco, Washington.

Both guests share their perspectives on the challenges facing the beef industry and what they say can be done to help consumers and producers alike.

We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear them in full. Today on the Fox News Rundown Extra, we share our complete conversations with Omaha Steaks' Nate Rempe and cattle rancher Steve Lucie as they dive deeper into why beef costs so much.
