On Memorial Day, we honor the men and women who served the U.S. military and tragically sacrificed their lives on behalf of the nation's freedom. America has a long history of celebrating our fallen heroes and recounting their courageous battles. In "The Lost Victory: Tet 1968!" streaming now on FOX Nation, Pete Hegseth walks the audience through the surprise attack that laid siege against American forces in Vietnam and why it became such a momentous event during the Vietnam War. Fox & Friends Weekend co-host and Army National Guard veteran Pete Hegseth joins the podcast to explain how the Tet offensive changed Americans' perception of the Vietnam War and the unkind treatment Vietnam War veterans received when they returned to the country. He later explains the importance of remembering our history, valuing what Memorial Day parades are really for, and what inspired him to serve his country. Retired Marine Cole Lyle has experienced the nightmares, PTSD, and anxiety attacks that plague many veterans every day, leading many to take their own lives. After losing friends and battling suicidal thoughts himself, Lyle is now committed to providing veterans with the resources and support they need to recover their self-worth, serving as the President of the Working Warrior Foundation. In honor of Memorial Day, Lyle joins the Rundown to discuss different ways Americans can take meaningful action to help veterans, what steps he takes to help veterans in crisis, and the story of how his service dog Kaya inspired him to create 'Kaya's K9s,' which seeks to help veterans in need of veterinary assistance for service dogs.

After months of anticipation, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis officially announced his 2024 presidential campaign from Miami, Florida this past week.  The popular Republican governor is clearly the biggest threat to former President Trump, who has a big lead in the primary polls. But like in 2016, having a viable opponent could actually prove to be a benefit to Trump. Shortly after Gov. DeSantis used Twitter to jump in to the race, host Lisa Brady spoke with Daron Shaw, Co-Director of the Fox News Poll and professor at The University of Texas at Austin, about the DeSantis impact on the GOP field, his campaign strategy so far, and how he or anyone can overcome Trump's commanding lead in the polls.  Shaw discussed how he expected the other Republican candidates to respond to Gov. DeSantis and his 'glitchy' entrance in to the race. He also explained why it was more likely the Gov. DeSantis, not Trump, would be the main target of the Republicans vying to be the nominee. Due to time limitations, we could not include the entire conversation in the FOX News Rundown segment that ran this week. In a FOX News Rundown Extra exclusive, you will hear our entire unedited interview with Co-Director of the Fox News poll Daron Shaw and get his complete breakdown of how the 2024 race so far.

Governor Ron DeSantis made a big splash this week when he officially jumped in to the 2024 Presidential race. However, he may not be the only Florida Republican who wants to make a bid for the White House. Miami mayor Francis Suarez joined host Dave Anthony this week to discuss why he too is considering a run for the presidency and why he thinks he'd be a better pick than anyone in the field including the popular governor of his state.  In fact, the Republican even took a shot at DeSantis by criticizing his ongoing feud with Disney. Suarez also weighed in on the NAACP's recent Florida travel advisory, the ethics investigation into his work for a real estate developer, and why he thinks the Sunshine State has seen so much growth over the years.  Due to time limitations, we could not include the entire conversation in the FOX News Rundown segment that ran this week.

A deal to lift the debt limit has yet to be reached as Congress continues talks with the White House. Earlier this week, Speaker McCarthy said that some progress was made amid negotiations with President Biden, who has long claimed that he would be unwilling to make concessions to lift the deal. The U.S. is now only days away from potentially defaulting on its debt, meaning the country would no longer have the cash needed in order to meet its financial obligations. FOX Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram discusses where each party stands ahead of the looming debt ceiling deadline, as well as the timeline for Congress to strike a deal. President Joe Biden stated that the United States will support an effort to train Ukrainian fighter pilots on the F-16 aircraft during the G7 meeting last week. According to DoD officials, there is no information on where the aircraft will come from or when they will be delivered. Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Rep. Michael McCaul (TX-10) explains that this process could take months, criticizing the Biden Administration for the delay in this training and stresses how crucial it could have been in the counter-offensive that Ukraine could launch as early as the end of this month.

The leader of Russia's mercenaries known as the 'Wagner Group', Yevgeny Prigozhin, has been seriously competing for influence as of late, even going as far as saying that Russia is at risk of losing their war on Ukraine and that failure could cause a revolution against Moscow. While he continues to say he is loyal to Putin, some say he is jockeying to be Putin's replacement. FOX's Eben Brown spoke with Rebekah Koffler, president of ‘Doctrine & Strategy Consulting’, former DIA intelligence officer, and author of ‘Putin’s Playbook: Russia’s Secret Plan to Defeat America’, who says that anything is possible after Putin but explains the Wagner boss would fit the position easy.    Click Here To Follow 'The FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition' Learn more about your ad choices.

After months of anticipation, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis officially announced his 2024 presidential campaign from Miami, Florida on Wednesday evening. The state has become a hotbed for political controversy with the NAACP, Equality Florida, and the League of United Latin American Citizens all issuing travel advisories for the state, alleging to their members that the state's conservative policies showed the state "has become hostile" for minorities. Republican Mayor of Miami Francis Suarez believes this advisory is nothing more than a political stunt. Mayor Suarez joins the Rundown and shares his opinions on Governor DeSantis' 2024 campaign and discusses why he is still weighing whether or not he will join the GOP primary race as well. Despite two more candidates announcing their campaigns this week, former President Trump remains the front-runner Republican candidate in the polls. The Republican leadership has been focused on expanding their voter base ahead of the 2024 election in hopes that they can gain control of the House, Senate, and White House in the coming years. FOX News Sunday host Shannon Bream joins the podcast to discuss how former President Trump may navigate his GOP front-runner status as more candidates continue to join the field, what main policy issues will broaden the tent for Republican voters, and the latest on Supreme Court news and debt ceiling negotiations.

Governor Ron DeSantis launched his 2024 presidential campaign Wednesday night, but not without issue. His first announcement, hosted by Elon Musk on Twitter Spaces, was preceded by technical difficulties – prompting confusion & criticism from many before his initial kick-off. The long-anticipated campaign announcement makes the Florida governor the ninth Republican candidate in the race, making for a crowded GOP primary fight come February. The new candidate will likely impact which way voters are leaning in the polls, and here to break it all down is co-Director of the Fox News Poll and professor at the University of Texas at Austin, Daron Shaw. He explains how his rocky campaign kick-off could have a lasting impact on DeSantis’ campaign, if any, how his entry impacts other major candidates like President Biden and former President Trump, and what the current polling tells us about voters’ preferences for 2024.

Both President Biden and Speaker McCarthy still seem very apart on agreeing to raise the debt limit but what really happens if the United States hits the debt ceiling? Some negative possibilities are: the Treasury can't pay its bills, markets could decline rapidly and retirement funds wouldn't reach millions of Americans. FOX's Eben Brown spoke with Chad Pergram, FOX News' Senior Congressional Correspondent, about where we stand and what consequences could the country face if the U.S. hits the debt ceiling.   Click Here To Follow 'The FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition' Learn more about your ad choices.

The Biden administration voiced public support for the HALT Fentanyl Act, first introduced by two GOP congressmen, which would permanently classify all fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I drugs and would prioritize giving law enforcement the tools to slow the trafficking of this lethal substance. In 2022, America saw over 100,000 overdoses, and 75,000 of those were estimated to be due to illegal fentanyl. Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) was one of the lawmakers who first sponsored this bill, and he joins the podcast to explain how his legislation will confront the rampant fentanyl production that is costing U.S. lives, why classifying fentanyl as a Schedule I drug will give the government more authority to crack down on traffickers, and the underlying issues driving this synthetic opioid crisis. May is mental health awareness month, and the U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, issued a warning on Tuesday, calling social media a ‘profound risk’ to America’s youth and responsible for recent years' rising rates of depression and anxiety. Some states are taking the initiative to place guardrails, like in Arkansas, where the state government passed the Social Media Safety Act, requiring social media platforms to verify users’ age and request parental permission. The minimum age listed to access many of these websites is thirteen; however, Dr. Murthy argues that is way too young. Licensed psychotherapist and the author of the new book, "Raising Healthy Teenagers," Tom Kersting, joins the podcast to talk about why social media is contributing to the youth mental health crisis in America, how legislation would address social media’s unhealthy impact, and what parents can do to prioritize their children’s mental health.

The 2024 GOP candidate field is widening this week as Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) officially launched his presidential campaign on Monday, and reports suggest Florida Governor Ron DeSantis plans to announce his candidacy this week as well. As the list of Republican candidates grows, campaigning and fundraising will be sure to heat up soon. Filings show Senator Scott has entered the race with more funds than any of his competitors, with $22 million on hand, while the current leading candidate, former President Trump, only had $14 million in his campaign’s war chest by the end of March. Former Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush and Fox News contributor Karl Rove joins the podcast to analyze the Senator’s chances of winning the nomination and how his positive message contradicts the narrative pushed by the left. A recently unsealed court filing revealed the FBI had improperly used warrantless search powers on U.S. citizens over 278,000 times, looking into Americans involved in the Capitol riot, George Floyd protests, and more. FBI Director Wray spoke on this revelation, saying the FBI's misusing Section 702 of FISA was a mistake that drove the bureau to make stricter changes to the system. Some lawmakers are not trusting these mistakes won’t happen again, saying they want to see even tighter restrictions on the bureau’s warrantless search tool, which should only be allowed to acquire intelligence on foreign targets. Retired FBI Special Agent John Iannarelli joins the Rundown to discuss how he believes this surveillance tool came to be misused by the FBI, the threat posed by politicization within the bureau, and what the intelligence organization must do to regain the trust of the American people.

The final Durham report was released this past week. Special Counsel John Durham concluded there was no justification for the FBI to even launch an investigation into whether former President Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 campaign.  Conservatives maintain the report proved bias and corruption at the agency. The mainstream media and Democrats dismissed the findings and said the years-long Durham probe was a waste of time.  After the reporter was released, Howie Kurtz, the host of "MediaBuzz,"joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to not just discuss the Durham Report's findings but how the media responded. Kurtz was not surprised that many in the 'mainstream press' called it a 'dud' as many of them were obsessed with the Russian collusion story at the time and wouldn't want to acknowledge they were wrong. The host of the 'Media BUZZmeter' podcast also discussed how the media's credibility has never recovered from their coverage of the Trump-Russia investigation and why he thinks it would take a major bombshell for them to give the Hunter Biden scandal comparable coverage.  Due to time limitations, we could not include the entire conversation in the FOX News Rundown segment that ran this week.

Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary made a name for himself cutting deals and making businesses wildly successful. But what would "Mr. Wonderful" do to save a company that appears to be stuck in a weeks-long tailspin? Bud Light is still paying the price over its partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. While intended to promote the beer's brand on social media, the branding move outraged conservatives and resulted in a nationwide boycott that continues to hurt the beer companies' sales.  O'Leary Ventures Chairman Kevin O'Leary recently joined host Dave Anthony on The FOX News Rundown to discuss the crisis Bud Light created for itself and what Anheuser-Busch executives must do now to address the ongoing backlash.  O'Leary explained why he felt so many Americans were put off by Bud Light's Mulvaney deal and what key things they overlooked when they decided to pay the trans TikTok star to endorse their beer.

Negotiators reached an impasse Friday amid talks surrounding the debt limit.

The deadline to fund the government stands just weeks away, which, if unaddressed, would cause major economic turmoil for Americans. On Wednesday, President Biden told the press that ‘the U.S. defaulting on our debt is not an option," and Speaker Kevin McCarthy told journalists on Thursday that he saw a path forward for a deal on raising the debt limit. The latest optimistic words from the President and the Speaker mark a stark shift in the previously stalled negotiations, where now it seems the Biden administration is willing to compromise on some spending cuts and work requirements. Congressman Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) joins the Rundown to explain why he believes the Republicans’ push to rein in spending is the winning message, how the GOP bill may become President Biden’s only choice, and he weighs in on the country’s ongoing border crisis. On Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled that tech companies are not liable for what their users post.

Last month, Bud Light partnered with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney to promote the beer’s brand on social media. The branding move sparked a major backlash from Bud Light drinkers, who largely went on to boycott the drink nationwide. Even with weeks past the initial controversy, Bud Light saw its fifth consecutive week of plummeting sales, bringing dismay to the Anheuser-Busch executives who are brainstorming how their brand can recover. O'Leary Ventures Chairman and investor on ABC’s Shark Tank, Kevin O'Leary, joins the Rundown to talk about how brand partnerships can make or break a company, what steps Bud Light must take to recover from this mishap, and why he thinks America's small banks are on the decline. The end of Title 42 has brought increased illegal border crossings, and migrants being received by the U.S. are still being bused to sanctuary cities; however, communities in those cities are speaking up about the negative consequences of migrants taking resources from the people who live there. In New York City, migrants are staying at hotels, police stations, and even school gymnasiums, which has caused parents in those communities to protest about the safety and learning impact on their children. Counties near sanctuary cities are suffering too, says New York’s Rockland County Executive Ed Day. He joins the podcast to explain why NYC Mayor Eric Adams and President Biden are being "reckless" in their push to accommodate migrants and how he is fighting for his county's limited resources.

The final 306-page Durham report was released Monday, stating that the FBI rushed its investigation into the claims that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia. Special prosecutor John Durham concluded that the bureau failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law and the integrity of the probe suffered from confirmation bias. While this report was long-awaited by many conservatives, most of the mainstream media is dismissing the information as a minor story. Howie Kurtz, the host of "MediaBuzz," joins the podcast to break down how these findings damage the media's credibility, why this story could signal good news for former President Donald Trump's 2024 chances, and the similarities between the Trump-Russia investigation and the Hunter Biden investigation. Tuesday morning, Russia launched a major aerial assault on Ukraine's capital, which Kyiv officials say they were able to combat using the U.S.’s Patriot air defense system. U.S. military aid to Ukraine is set to run out this summer, with only $6 billion left from the $48 billion package allocated to aid them against the ongoing Russian invasion. Now the question remains: Can Ukraine expect more military aid dollars from America? Former U.S. Ambassador to NATO Kurt Volker joins the Rundown to discuss why he believes the U.S. will likely pass another aid package due to widespread bipartisan support, how the Biden administration's communications on the issue are causing Americans' support for Ukraine to falter, and the importance of prioritizing both domestic issues as well as hostility towards our allies overseas.

National security has become top of mind for many lawmakers as the expiration of Title 42 leaves border towns & sanctuary cities at risk, and the threat from foreign adversaries like China, Russia, and North Korea remains strong. In response, House Republicans have gotten to work addressing these concerns, passing the "Secure the Border Act" in the House last week, aiming to tighten border security & provide more border patrol resources. Meanwhile, House Intelligence Committee Chairman, Congressman Mike Turner, has been working to strengthen foreign relations -- leading a bipartisan congressional delegation to the Middle East to meet with key leaders and intelligence services. Rep. Turner (R-OH) joins to discuss why he believes it's "inhumane" of President Biden to allow the border to remain in its current state, what insight he gained from meeting with allies overseas, and how the U.S. should be working to deter adversarial threats. The Biden administration is reinvigorating its push for green energy reform as the Department of Energy recently proposed new limits and rules for American appliances like washers, dryers, refrigerators, and stoves. These government regulations have already had an impact on the country, with New York becoming the first state in the country to ban gas stoves in new buildings starting in 2026. Vice President of Communications and Marketing for the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, Jill Notini, joins the podcast to share how the new rules could negatively impact low-income families, why these limits may reverse the efficiency of common appliances, and why a switch to lower-energy-use appliances may cost the consumer much more than it will save them.

Title 42 had ended, and now multiple border communities have issued disaster declarations to help prepare for the surge of illegal migrants they expect to accommodate in the days following the end of the pandemic-era border policy. The Biden administration fought hard to overturn this policy, but now they've introduced a new immigration policy that would make seeking asylum stricter. The lifting of this policy, however, has caused record-high migrant detentions at the U.S.-Mexico border in recent days, worrying border communities about their capacity to handle the humanitarian crisis that may follow. The Mayor of Laredo, Texas, Dr. Victor Trevino, shared such concerns when he joined the Fox News Rundown podcast earlier this week. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the conversations in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with Mayor Trevino about how his city is preparing for a huge surge of migrants, the strain that these surges put on the Laredo community, and how he would go about beginning to fix the U.S. immigration system.

Some of the most prominent tech figures and AI researchers signed an open letter calling for a 6-month pause on AI technology development while we collectively agree on necessary safeguards and regulations. Tristan Harris, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology and former Google ethicist, signed this letter and has long been warning about the 'existential threat' posed by unrestricted AI. Last week, Tristan Harris joined the Rundown and host Jessica Rosenthal to explain what kind of danger unregulated AI poses and how exactly it could harm humanity in the long run. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the conversations in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with Tristan Harris and learn about what artificial intelligence can do and why leaders must take action against the dangers it presents.

Title 42 expires Thursday night, and the Biden administration is urging migrants to use legal pathways to enter the United States as border patrol agents are bracing for an unprecedented number of asylum seekers. The rule was originally put into place during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to curb migration for the sake of preserving public health in America, and after a long legal fight, the Biden administration has gotten rid of this public health order. Many fear that there might not be enough border officials to handle the surge. The Mayor of Laredo, Texas, Dr. Victor Trevino joins the Rundown for a conversation about how his city is preparing for a massive influx of migrants, the negative impact the surge will have on the Laredo community, and why sending all migrants back to Mexico could cause more problems than it aims to solve.

For the first time since February, President Joe Biden will meet with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other top congressional leaders to discuss the debt limit crisis. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned that the country could default and face a potential 'financial collapse' as early as June 1 if a solution isn't found. Last month, House Republicans passed a bill to raise the debt limit that includes healthcare spending cuts, which both the Democratic-controlled Senate and President Biden said they won't approve. Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) joins the Rundown to discuss the standoff, why he believes the president needs to show more leadership, and why he says he will refuse to raise the debt limit unless it comes with significant spending cuts.   If you think things are bad at the border now, they're about to get worse. That's because Title 42, the Covid-related policy used to keep many migrants out, is about to end. Officials are bracing themselves for an even bigger surge as the country reverts back to old immigration law. Charles Marino, who was a Homeland Security Advisor during the Obama Administration, joins the FOX News Rundown to discuss why Title 42 ending will make the border crisis even worse and why he feels the Biden administration has been slow to prepare for this massive change.    Plus, commentary from author David Marcus.

There's a new epidemic hitting the American public hard: loneliness. U.S. surgeon general Dr. Vivek Murthy has recently declared that loneliness may be as lethal as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, as research shows that prolonged isolation can lead to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, dementia, and premature death. This declaration has left many Americans with questions. Why is this happening in the age of social media — when people across the globe can connect easier than ever? How can the American public combat this health risk if loneliness can be difficult to identify in others? On the Rundown, former U.S. surgeon general Dr. Jerome Adams answers these questions, explaining why social media is actually a leading cause of loneliness in America, what the science is behind how isolation can impact physical health, and how people can focus on doing simple acts in their communities to make a big difference.   The April jobs report showed over 250,000 jobs were created last month, showing good economic growth as unemployment numbers ease. This data comes days after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates again, lifting them to a 16-year high. This move from the Fed may tackle inflation, but economists worry it could further strain the banking system which has seen turmoil in recent months. Co-anchor of “The Big Money Show” on FOX Business, Taylor Riggs, joins the Rundown to discuss what job numbers mean for working Americans, why the nation's regional banks are so important to local communities, and the state of the Federal Reserve's fight against inflation.   Plus, commentary by former Trump Economic Adviser and economist at the Heritage Foundation Steve Moore.

Artificial intelligence may be the technology of the future, but could it bring us more harm than good? That is what some AI researchers and tech experts fear, and that is why more than 1,000 of them signed a letter earlier this year urging a ‘pause’ on some AI development. Eliezer Yudkowsky, a decision theorist at the Machine Intelligence Research Institute who has studied AI for more than 20 years, thinks that letter does not go far enough. He says AI could actually lead to the end of humanity, and we need international agreements now to prevent the technology from advancing too far. He even believes we may need a ‘shooting war’ to stop a country that refuses to comply. Yudkowsky recently spoke with FOX News Rundown’s Jessica Rosenthal about why he is trying to raise the alarm over AI and why action is needed now. He offered some blunt warnings and compared AI’s threat to that of nuclear war. Due to time limitations, we could not include the conversation in our weekday editions of the Fox News Rundown.

With a deadline to avoid a default approaching sooner than expected, President Biden has invited the four top Congressional leaders to discuss the ongoing debt ceiling standoff. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned that the nation could potentially default on its debt by June 1st, meaning the country would not have enough money to pay its bills. The President has maintained that the debt limit must be raised with no conditions, leading many to wonder whether the upcoming meeting will lead to a resolution. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram previews the President's debt limit meeting and discusses the consequences of failing to raise the debt limit. 75 years ago, President Harry Truman recognized Israel after the country declared itself an independent Jewish state. Since then, the United States has maintained a solid relationship with the country, with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (CA-20) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) both paying bipartisan visits. However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not been extended the customary invitation to the White House after his win last year, raising concerns about judicial overhaul legislation as well as the right-wing coalition. Deputy National Secretary Advisor for the Middle East and North African Affairs during the Trump Administration Victoria Coates reassures listeners that Congress will continue to support the security relationship between the two nations, but says she cannot say the same about the Biden Administration.

"The Rise of A.I.": It was last year that the Biden administration proposed a blueprint for an "A.I. Bill of Rights," which sought to protect Americans from the consequences of unchecked artificial intelligence. A recent Fox News poll shows 76% of voters want to see federal regulation on A.I. technology, as Americans worry many common jobs could be replaced by the advanced technology being developed. Fox Business Digital writer Eric Revell joins the podcast to discuss why he believes artificial intelligence won’t be replacing most professions any time soon, the need for A.I. to have human oversight, and how Americans may be interacting with artificial intelligence without realizing it. But first, the Senate Judiciary Committee conducted a hearing this week to evaluate whether Congress can require the Supreme Court to adopt a binding code of ethics. This comes after one of the nine justices failed to disclose private luxury travel and accommodations from a wealthy Republican donor. Both parties agree that the Supreme Court needs to adopt guidelines for justices to abide by but cannot agree on how to move forward. Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream joins the podcast to discuss how this will affect justices in the future, the controversy surrounding the debt ceiling, and how the end of Title 42 may worsen the strain on the southern border.

"THE RISE OF A.I.": Artificial intelligence is getting smarter and being used more widely. From patient care to diagnostics, A.I. has already made its way into the medical community. Some see the advancements as positive, catching things a doctor might miss. But the increased use of AI is also raising concerns, as some fear it could deny patients the personal attention they need or even replace nurses and doctors. FOX News Medical Contributor and Professor at NYU Langone Health, Dr. Marc Siegel joins the FOX News Rundown to discuss the 'Rise Of A.I.' in health care and how the technology is already being used in hospitals, his concerns over where AI advancements could go in the future, and why he feels AI should always only be used as a tool and not a replacement for doctors. But First ... The GOP's debt ceiling bill passed in the House -- but President Biden remains unwilling to negotiate as the bill makes its way to the Senate, where a Democratic majority is likely to strike it down. Meanwhile, as new inflation and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) numbers disappoint economists who predicted quicker economic recovery in the U.S., many Americans worry that the potential inability to reach a debt ceiling consensus combined with weak economic numbers could mean trouble for America's financial well-being. On the Rundown, Chairman of the Committee on House Administration, Congressman Bryan Steil (R-WI), discusses why he believes the debt ceiling debate is primarily fueled by Democrats "having their heads in the sand," how irresponsible government spending has played a role in our weak economy, and the creation of his legislation, the 'Putting Investors First Act.'

On Wednesday, Speaker McCarthy managed to advance a GOP-led bill through the House that would raise the nation's debt limit while also limiting federal spending. Although Speaker McCarthy was able to narrowly secure the votes needed to pass the legislation, the bill is unlikely to survive the Democrat-led Senate. President Biden has maintained that he will not meet with House Republicans to negotiate whether or not the debt ceiling is extended, adding to tensions at the nation's Capitol as the default deadline fast approaches. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram unpacks the contents of the debt limit bill and explains how it was able to pass in the first place.

President Biden has refused to discuss the debt ceiling with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy until Republicans produce a budget. However, McCarthy has now successfully passed a debt ceiling bill in the House and is urging the President to come to the table with Republicans, who have 'done their job'. Meanwhile, President Biden has announced his run for re-election in 2024, and though many polls show he's currently the lead candidate in the Democratic Party, they also conclude the majority of voters don't want the President to run again, citing his age as a primary concern. Fox News Sunday Host Shannon Bream joins to weigh in on these topics as well as the latest oversight hearing on COVID school closures and China’s diplomacy attempts with Ukraine. On May 1st, the Biden administration will roll out a new regulation from the Federal Housing Finance Agency that will impose higher mortgage fees on Americans with good credit to help subsidize low-income buyers with bad credit. The move aimed at housing equity has lawmakers concerned about the impact it will have on homebuyers and the middle class. FOX Business' Gerri Willis joins the podcast to explain how the change was designed to give more Americans the ability to purchase homes, how this change will cause those with good credit scores to soon pay even more on their mortgage payments, and the struggles occurring within the housing market.   Plus, commentary from the author of "Feminism Against Progress," Mary Harrington.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Last night, House Republicans were able to narrowly pass Speaker McCarthy’s debt ceiling plan, which would reduce government spending, cut funding for federal agencies, and block parts of the President’s agenda. The Democrats, however, want to raise the debt ceiling without conditions, so this bill is unlikely to pass the Senate or survive a likely veto from President Biden. Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick is a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus and is pushing for a bipartisan compromise on this issue. Rep. Fitzpatrick joins the podcast to discuss the need to solve two crises at once: raising the debt limit to avoid a default and creating guardrails around government spending to prevent this problem in the future.

In August 2021, President Joe Biden removed U.S. troops from Afghanistan, saying he felt the country had accomplished its mission and that the war had "unclear objectives." The withdrawal was characterized as chaotic as America rushed to evacuate over 120,000 Americans and Afghan citizens. Now, some lawmakers in Congress fear that the Middle Eastern country is once again becoming a safe haven for terrorist organizations. Democratic Congressman Seth Moulton joins the podcast to discuss the consequences of the Afghan withdrawal, the threat of terror organizations rebuilding in the region and why the United States continues providing Afghanistan with aid. The Biden administration recently proposed a revision to the Title IX rules, which would prevent schools and universities that receive federal funding from banning transgender students from competing in sports consistent with their gender identity. The Department of Education floated this proposal, angering both conservatives who believe this decision should be decided by the state and liberals who believe the rule does not go far enough in protecting trans rights. 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer and Independent Women's Forum spokeswoman, Riley Gaines joins the Rundown to discuss why the proposed changes to Title IX threaten equal opportunities for biological women in sports and the illuminating conversations she has been having with the LGBTQ community.

Many recent polls show a majority of voters don't want President Biden to run for office in 2024. However, Republicans seem to feel the same way about former President Trump, with a similar percentage of Americans reporting they don't want the former President to run either. As President Biden rolls out his campaign, will Democrats end up backing him in the long run? And will Republicans choose to stand behind Trump or cast their vote for another party favorite like candidate Nikki Haley or potential candidate Governor Ron DeSantis? Former Biden campaign surrogate Kevin Walling joins to discuss why he believes President Biden's performance on the campaign trail may convince voters he has the energy & competency to stay in the White House for another term. Later, Republican Strategist Colin Reed explains why he believes the competition amongst Republican candidates for the GOP nomination is likely to be stiff — but why he's confident many of them would have "a clear advantage" going head-to-head with the former President.   Chain retailer Bed Bath and Beyond filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy over the weekend with plans to liquidate its remaining inventory, unless a last-minute buyer steps in.

It's been over 80 days since President Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy have met to discuss the debt ceiling, as the President and his top advisors continue refusing to negotiate on a debt ceiling increase. Though McCarthy has not come forward with the clean proposal the President is calling for, he has introduced the new 'Limit, Save, Grow Act,' legislation that agrees to raise the debt ceiling if certain spending cuts are made. The Speaker is now looking to House Republicans this coming week, as he aims to round up at least 218 votes to pass the bill and strengthen his stance on the debt ceiling before future talks with the President. On the Rundown, Chief Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) joins to discuss what 'reckless' spending has led the U.S. economy to become $31 trillion in debt and why it's crucial that both parties put the American people before politics when coming to an agreement on the debt ceiling.

Thirty years this past week, the Waco siege--a 51-day standoff between the Branch Davidians religious group and federal agents--came to a deadly end.  In February 1993, David Koresh, the cult's leader, was accused of stockpiling illegal weapons and abusing children. An attempted raid on February 28th by the ATF failed and led to the death of four agents and six Branch Davidians. On April 19th, 1993, after the FBI attempted to use tear gas to speed up negotiations that had gone on for weeks, a fire broke out inside the compound killing 76 people, including Koresh. It is still debated by some on how that fire began. Retired ATF Senior Special Agent Blake Boteler was at the siege and joined the FOX News Rundown's Dave Anthony to discuss his experience. Boteler, who took part in the first raid, describes being shot at and how things went wrong from the start. Boteler always weighed in on how the standoff was conducted, why he thinks the group committed mass suicide, and how the events sparked an anti-government movement. Due to time limitations, we had to air the entire interview in two separate segments. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear the entire incredible conversation with retired ATF Senior Special Agent Blake Boteler and hear things about the Waco Siege you've probably never heard before.

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy revealed his plan to raise the debt ceiling this week, with a proposal that seeks to cut government spending by targeting domestic and military budgets. The proposal was greeted with criticism from the White House, with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre saying the plan was a "blueprint to devastate hard-working American families". Indiana Republican Senator Mike Braun joins to share his reaction to Speaker McCarthy's proposal, why some lawmakers in his party have been reluctant to cut government spending in the past, and responds to the criticism coming from the White House. Senate Republicans blocked Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's proposal to replace California Senator Dianne Feinstein's role on the Senate Judiciary Committee this week, a request that would temporarily fill her position with an alternative senator in lieu of her medical absence.

The right to 'self-defense' is a basic American right, but can be complicated. "Stand your ground" laws and the "castle doctrine" are in effect in multiple states to allow citizens to protect themselves from potential harm or deter would-be intruders from their homes.  However, self-defense laws like these have come under scrutiny recently after a string of apparent accidental shootings.  Two high-profile examples include a Black teenager in Kansas City, Missouri who was shot after ringing the doorbell at the wrong address. And in Upstate New York, a young woman was shot and killed after the car she was in mistakenly pulled into the wrong driveway.  In these cases, both of the shooters have pleaded not guilty, citing self-defense.  These tragic incidents have many asking when citizens can legally use deadly force to protect themselves. Former Assistant US Attorney for the Southern District of New York and FOX News Contributor Andy McCarthy joined The FOX News Rundown's Lisa Brady to discuss how broad the right to self-defense is in America.  McCarthy explained how these laws vary by state, and whether juries are typically sympathetic to defendants who claim self-defense. He also weighed in on some early facts of the recent cases that sparked this debate.  Due to time limitations, we had to air the entire interview in two separate segments. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear the entire conversation with former Prosecutor Andy McCarthy and learn even more about how complex self-defense cases are and how frequently tragedies like the ones we have in Missouri and New York occur.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, lawmakers raised concerns about a recent intelligence leak and its exposure of classified information pertaining to Russian and Ukrainian forces amid the ongoing war on Ukraine. Although Pentagon officials have claimed that the leaked documents pose a great risk to national security, President Biden downplayed the impact of its contents. While many of the documents have not yet been authenticated, the substance of the intelligence reveals contradicting information related to Ukraine's military ahead of a Spring offensive, leading many to question whether the leak will change plans as the war progresses. Former Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Policy James Anderson discusses his takeaways from the documents, the gravity of the leak, and what it reveals about the future of Russia's war on Ukraine. Many cybersecurity experts have raised serious concerns about the recent leak of classified information from the Pentagon, speaking to the gravity of the situation and its implications. Retired 4 Star General, Chairman of the Institute for the Study of War, and FOX News Senior Strategic Analyst Jack Keane assesses the level of damage this leak has imposed on cybersecurity and provides insight into the intelligence that 21-year-old National Guardsman Jack Teixeira allegedly revealed. General Keane later details what the leak exposes about United States' allies and espionage through Chinese spy balloons, and outlines the next steps surrounding the issue of access control.

The House Select Subcommittee on Coronavirus held another hearing on Tuesday, trying to discern what the available intelligence tells us about China's involvement in the pandemic's origins. While some government agencies like the FBI and Department of Energy maintain that COVID-19 likely resulted from a lab leak in Wuhan, this week's hearing featured testimony from the former Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, who said the lab leak theory is the "only explanation" for the origins of the pandemic. Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) joins the podcast to discuss the latest committee reports, why he believes there is a 'preponderance of evidence' supporting the lab leak theory, and how we can come to conclusion on COVID origins with China actively withholding information.
