House Probe Of Afghanistan Exit Details “Catastrophic Failures”
Extra: Inside The Pentagon's Probe Into UFOs
Luis Elizondo ran the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. Before that, he was a U.S. Army Counterintelligence Special Agent.
Elizondo resigned from the Department of Defense in 2017 and has since made headlines with claims about the government investigations into 'UFOs,' or what they call UAPs, unidentified anomalous phenomena.
In his new book called, “Imminent: Inside The Pentagon's Hunt For UFOs,” he says the government has investigated multiple crash sites and has even recovered evidence of nonhuman life.
Luis Elizondo recently joined host Chris Foster on the Fox News Rundown to discuss his career, some of his book’s most shocking claims, and why he thinks whatever some of these UAPs are, they threaten America’s national security.
We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.
This week on the FOX News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Luis Elizondo and hear even more about what he says the Pentagon knows about UAPs and what may be behind these phenomena.

From Washington: How Pivotal Is the ABC Presidential Debate?
Though Vice President Kamala Harris has been able to rally the Democratic base after replacing President Biden as the Party's presidential nominee, she's yet to go head-to-head with her opponent, former President Donald Trump. That will change on September 10th, when the two presidential candidates take the ABC presidential debate stage and potentially shake up the race again. Former debate moderator and Anchor of 'The Story,' Martha MacCallum, discusses how the dynamic between former President Trump and Vice President Harris may play out and the importance of prioritizing policy and performance on the debate stage.
As Congress returns to session this week, the battle to fund the government heats up. But tight races for the White House, Senate, and House could force Republicans to punt the issue down the road, potentially triggering a government shutdown. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram addresses how this might play out for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). Plus, Chad notes why in a razor-thin election, foreign policy could play a deciding factor.

From Washington: Is A Ceasefire Deal On The Table Anymore?
Last week, six Israeli hostages were found murdered in the underground tunnels in Gaza causing major protests across Israel. Although President Biden said this week that he was close to presenting a final ceasefire deal, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu countered the claim, stating that no such deal was in the works. Retired 4 Star General, Chairman of the Institute for the Study of War, and FOX News Senior Strategic Analyst General Jack Keane analyzes the current standing of the war in Gaza and explains why the ongoing negotiations have yet to produce a solution.
Early voting begins this month even though the country is still more than a month away from Election Day. More states will start sending out absentee ballots and kick off early voting as the weeks go on, but the rules and restrictions differ from state to state. Early voting was already supposed to begin in North Carolina but is now delayed due to a legal fight with Robert F Kennedy Jr., who is asking the state to remove his name from the ballot. Director of Elections and Redistricting at the National Conference of State Legislatures Wendy Underhill discusses the difference between early voting and absentee ballots, why timing is important, and the potential number of votes that could be cast before November.

Evening Edition: Venezuelan Gangs Infiltrating American Cities
Senior DHS officials are now saying targeting the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua (TDA) is now a “priority.” While the gang seems to have a presence in various cities across the country, in Aurora, Colorado, police have confirmed that four suspects arrested in connection to a shooting at an apartment complex are all known or suspected TDA members and city council members are saying they are taking over their city. Law enforcement officials in Dallas, Chicago and New York have also reported increased TDA gang activity in their cities.
FOX’s John Saucier speaks with Paul Mauro, FOX News legal and criminal justice analyst and an attorney at DeMarco Law, who says there needs to be a national task force to combat these gangs crossing our border.

Business Rundown: Weak Jobs Report Reveals "Underlying Weakness In The Economy"
The August jobs report is in, and the numbers tell us the labor market is cooling off. The 142,000 jobs added not only fell short of economists’ expectations for job growth, but the Labor Department had to revise its reports from June and July, lowering job estimates even further.
Even before this news, it was a rocky week for Wall Street, with tech companies taking hits, including the reliable chip stock, Nvidia. And on the campaign trail, former President Trump shared some of his economic policies, including a government efficiency commission that would be led by Elon Musk.
Fox Business’ Kelly O’Grady spoke with FOX Business White House correspondent about why the slowdown in hiring is a problem for the Fed, why recession fears and big market selloffs persist, and what role Elon Musk might play in a possible second Trump administration.

Shannon Bream On Swing Voters, Election Interference, And Tuesday's Debate Forecast
Today, the earliest mail-in ballots are sent out, allowing people in North Carolina to cast their vote nearly two months before Election Day. Meanwhile, both candidates are preparing for next week's presidential debate on ABC, where they can sway the minds of swing voters. FOX News Sunday Anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to share how each candidate is ramping up their campaigns in critical battleground states and what to expect on Tuesday night's debate stage.
The headlines say today’s job report could be pivotal, as it could decide the size of the Federal Reserve’s first expected rate cut later this month. The Fed has been raising rates since March of 2022 in response to concerns about rising inflation. The economy is a top voting issue in 2024, which is why both the Trump and Harris campaigns have been heavily discussing their plans to make the US economy stronger. The Big Money Show co-anchor Taylor Riggs joins to share why the labor market has become a top economic concern over inflation and break down the potential impact of some Harris campaign plans, such as taxing unrealized gains and raising the corporate tax rate.
Plus, commentary by founder and Senior Pastor of New Beginnings Church of Chicago and the CEO of Project H.O.O.D., Corey Brooks.

2024: The Tightest Presidential Race In Decades?
The polling keeps shifting in the 2024 presidential race, as attention focuses almost exclusively on seven swing states where the competition is further tightening.

For Vice President Harris, polling averages have her up by little over a point in Wisconsin and Michigan and just under a point in Nevada and Georgia. Both the Trump and Harris campaigns have downplayed polls or even denied that the polling will accurately reflect the reality of the race. Founding partner at Republican polling firm Echelon Insights, Patrick Ruffini, joins the Rundown to analyze the state of the race and how undecided swing voters are likely to cast their ballots in November.
