  • Congressman-Elect Expresses Excitement, Concerns As He Enters Washington
    Dec 23 2024
    Congress avoided a government shutdown over the weekend as the House passed a continuing resolution to fund the government through the new year. Dozens of Republicans opposed the bill brought to the floor by Speaker Mike Johnson, with disagreements over how to handle the debt ceiling. President-elect Trump will start his term looking for policy achievements on securing the border and delivering on tax cut promises. Congressman-elect Mike Haridopolos (R-FL-8) joins the Rundown to discuss his goals as a new member of the House, the concerns he has as China continues building their military, and he weighs in on the recently passed spending bill in Congress.

Feeding America CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot joins the Rundown to share why food insecurity is at an all-time recorded high, why it's important to invest in American farmers and Feeding America's partnership with the Department of Health and Human Services.

  • From Washington: The Expectations of DOGE

Kennedy Jr. spent much of this week on Capitol Hill trying to convince Senators that he is worthy enough to head the Department of Health and Human Services.

  • Extra: Why China May Be Behind Those Mystery Drones
    Dec 21 2024
    The country spent much of this past week fixated on those mysterious drones flying over New Jersey and other parts of the country. But one story that was under the radar for many was the Pentagon's release of a report on China warning of the nation’s rapid military buildup and expansion of its nuclear program. Earlier this week, I spoke with New Jersey Republican Congressman Chris Smith, Chair of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China. We discussed his concerns about our adversaries' growth, and he explained how bad decisions made by the US policymakers over the last several decades have ‘aided and abetted' China’s human rights violations and their continued aggression on the world stage. The New Jersey congressman, of course, also weighed in on those drones… and laid out why he does not believe the Biden administration’s statements regarding the matter and believes many are nefarious--perhaps even being operated by our foreign foes. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire with Representative Chris Smith, allowing you to learn even more about his concerns with China, including allegations of child labor and human organ harvesting.
