How is Trump's second term going? One year into President Trump's second term, how much of the "America First" agenda has been realized? From securing the border to strengthening the U.S. economy, the administration's bold promises are being put to the test. FOX News Contributor and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove joins the Rundown to analyze the biggest successes of the past year. We dive into the looming challenges for 2026, including the legal battles over new tariffs, the national affordability concerns, and the rising anti-ICE protests across American cities.  Americans are expected to start feeling the effects of President Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill,” signed into law last summer, as a series of tax changes officially kick in. The legislation includes new relief aimed at the middle class and working Americans, from higher standard deductions to first-ever tax breaks on auto loan interest, Social Security income, tips, and overtime pay. FOX Business' Gerri Willis joins the Rundown to explain how these updates, along with an extension of earlier tax cuts, could drive consumer spending and shape the broader economic outlook. Plus, commentary by Jimmy Failla, host of "FOX Across America" and "FOX News Saturday Night." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Good news this week as mortgage rates fell again, hitting their lowest level in more than three years. According to Freddie Mac, the average rate on the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage decreased to 6.06%, down from last week's reading of 6.16%. While there appears to be progress in the housing market, President Trump has made it clear that his administration is working to provide direct relief to homebuyers. Part of that plan involves directing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to purchase $200 billion in mortgage-backed securities to further drive down borrowing costs. The President is also working to ban large institutional investors from buying single-family homes—and to allow potential buyers to use their 401 (k) funds for down payments. Jessica Lautz, who is the Deputy Chief Economist and Vice President of Research At The National Association of Realtors, joins the FOX Business Network's Gerri Willis to discuss the state of the housing market, some of the President's ideas, and what can be done to make the American dream more affordable.

December's jobs numbers are out. The weaker-than-expected report showed payrolls rose just 50,000 last month, while the jobless rate dipped to 4.4 percent — suggesting people are leaving the workforce and reinforcing the “low-hire, low-fire” labor market narrative. While today's jobs data was mixed, Republicans say relief is on the way. Ever since President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 on July 4th of last year, the party has been touting its policies and telling constituents how they stand to gain from tax cuts taking effect this year. Some of that relief includes a higher standard deduction and an expanded child tax credit. The Big Beautiful Bill also included no tax on tips, Social Security, and overtime. However, Democrats have called the legislation the “big, beautiful betrayal,” saying it only helped America's richest. FOX Business' Gerri Willis speaks with Steve Moore, the cofounder of Unlead Prosperity and a former Trump economic advisor, about what Americans expect as the policies of the Big Beautiful Bill begin to roll out.

$57 billion. That's the amount of revenue tech giant NVIDIA reported in the third quarter. At first, the news was welcomed by investors who had been leery about the evaluation of artificial intelligence and whether the AI boom was actually a bubble. However, the gains from the chip maker's record-breaking revenue were soon lost, as they proved insufficient to ease worried minds. Also this week, the delayed September jobs report surprised with better-than-expected job growth. But what will that mean for the Federal Reserve when they meet next month as they weigh the decision to cut interest rates for a third straight time?

It's a bad time to buy a house. That's what nearly 75% of consumers are saying, according to Fannie Mae's home purchase sentiment index released earlier this week. And that news comes in despite a recent drop in mortgage rates.

Douglas Holtz-Eakin, economist and the former director of the Congressional Budget Office, joins FOX Business' Gerri Willis to discuss whether it's time for an overhaul of Fannie and Freddie, how complicated it can be, and what else can help the struggling housing market.

Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani continues to hold a significant lead in the New York City mayoral polls, despite business leaders warning that his progressive policies could spark an exodus of both companies and residents. His platform includes tax hikes on top earners, rent freezes, and promises like free buses and free childcare. His popularity in our country's largest city highlights the concern that capitalism is losing popularity. A Gallup poll from last month indicates that only 54% view capitalism favorably, down from 60% in 2021. Meanwhile, 39% of Americans—in that same poll—say they have a positive perception of socialism. Despite a track record of failed experiments worldwide, voters and lawmakers appear to be warming to socialism-inspired policies; for example, up to 18 states have experimented with universal basic income programs. FOX Business Network's Dave Asman joins Gerri Willis to discuss his new four-part series, "The Socialism Threat," which examines the failures of socialism in the past and how governments are now trying to reverse the economic damage done.

For the first time this year, the Federal Reserve announced a quarter percentage point cut to its benchmark interest rate this Wednesday. This decision followed months of public pressure from President Trump and his administration, who criticized Fed Chairman Jerome Powell as "too late" and "too slow." The cut was made despite inflation being above the Fed's two-percent target and is expected to be the first of several reductions anticipated this year. Powell described the move as a "risk-management cut," citing concerns about employment. Nancy Tengler, the CEO of Laffer Tengler Investments, joins FOX Business' Gerri Willis to give her reaction to the Fed's decision, how it will impact borrowers and the economy, and why she thinks Fed Chairman Jerome Powell continues to show he is consistently ‘wrong'.

Many Americans are clueless when it comes to money because the basics of financial literacy—such as balancing a budget or understanding the pitfalls of credit card use—are rarely taught during childhood. This becomes a significant problem when young people enter the real world and sign up for student loans without realizing these debts could follow them for the rest of their lives, hindering their ability to buy a home or start a business. Kevin O'Leary, the chairman of O'Leary Ventures and the star of Shark Tank, joins FOX Business's Gerri Willis to discuss America's student debt crisis, the Trump administration forcing student loan borrowers to begin paying up again, and the economic impact of financial illiteracy.
