Former Congressman Curt Weldon Blows Whistle That 9/11 Was An Inside Job In Explosive Tucker Carlson Interview! PLUS, Putin Ready For “Permanent Peace” After Historic Meeting With Trump Envoy

House Republicans have successfully united to set the stage for President Donald Trump's proposed 'One Big Beautiful Bill.' House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has once again navigated a significant piece of legislation with a slim majority in the House. The bill includes billions of dollars allocated for border security, national defense, and energy policy, along with trillions in spending cuts. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins to break down the latest developments from Congress. Nearly two dozen states have filed lawsuits against President Trump's executive order titled "Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections." This order includes mandatory proof of citizenship or a voter ID, as well as requirements for states to cooperate with the Department of Justice on election fraud-related cases. Former Congressman, host of Sunday Night in America, and host of the Trey Gowdy Podcast, Trey Gowdy, joined the Rundown earlier this week to discuss how the continuous legal challenges the President faces could disrupt the balance among the three branches of government.   Learn more about your ad choices.

President Donald Trump's attempt to regulate federal elections and require proof of citizenship to vote is just one of the many orders being challenged in the courts.   Republicans say Democrats and ‘radical' judges are using the legal system to block his agenda and are now trying to pass legislation that would put limits on how much power federal courts have.   Former Congressman and Federal Prosecutor recently joined host Dave Anthony to discuss the President's hope to reform elections and all the legal fights the administration has faced since taking office.   The FOX News Contributor understood Trump's desire to change our election systems and agreed that lower-level federal judges have too much power. He also called for Congress to take more action and correct what he sees as an uneven balance of power currently in Washington.   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 interview with FOX News' Trey Gowdy and let you hear even more of his unique take on the debate over elections and ‘judicial activism'.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Former Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert details the significant changes already underway in the first week of the second Trump administration, particularly concerning border security. Gohmert shares his observations from Texas, noting an increase in assets at the border and a renewed sense of encouragement among Border Patrol agents.The discussion highlights the impact of Trump's leadership style, which contrasts sharply with previous administrations. Gohmert emphasizes the importance of clarity in political language, especially regarding immigration. He points out the shift from terms like "illegal aliens" to "undocumented workers" and stresses that returning to straightforward language is crucial for addressing the real issues at hand.Also, freshman Congressman Jeff Crank of Colorado shares his perspective on the current state of Congress and the challenges ahead. Crank also discusses how Trump's executive orders on immigration are affecting people in his state. Crank emphasizes the importance of enforcing immigration laws and expresses his commitment to supporting military personnel affected by previous mandates. Finally, Paul Kamenar from the National Legal and Policy Center discusses the legality of Trump's executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship. This issue has sparked a whirlwind of lawsuits from various states and organizations, including the ACLU, challenging the constitutionality of such an action. Kamenar explains that the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to anyone born or naturalized in the United States, but Trump's order attempts to redefine who is considered 'subject to the jurisdiction' of the U.S. This has raised questions about the status of children born to undocumented immigrants and the concept of 'anchor babies.'See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
