President Donald Trump met with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte announcing a weapons deal that signals a sharp change in the U.S. posture toward Russia's war against Ukraine. Last week, President Trump confirmed that the U.S. will resume sending Patriot missile systems to Ukraine and now the Pentagon will start sending Ukraine offensive weaponry that could be used to target Russian forces on their own soil. The structure of the deal is that the United States will manufacture the sophisticated weapons, sell them to NATO who will then transfer them to Ukraine. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Dan Hoffman, FOX News contributor and former CIA Chief of Station in Moscow, who says the announcement should be well received with a plan that our European allies share more responsibility.

Over one week has passed since President Trump signed the "big, beautiful bill" into law, and he is now urging Republican Senators to support a package that would codify his proposed cuts via the Department of Government Efficiency. Meanwhile, House Republicans have already approved the package. This week, the House will take up several measures seeking to make the U.S. the leader in financial technology, cryptocurrency, and digital assets innovation. House Majority Whip Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-6) joins the Rundown to discuss the passage of the President's "big" bill and the upcoming "crypto week."  On July 13, 2024, an attempted assassination of President Trump took place at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. One year later, the country continues to wrestle with the question: how could such a breach have occurred? Veteran journalist Salena Zito witnessed the event firsthand, which she recounts in her new book, Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America's Heartland. She joins the podcast to examine how the Butler incident marked a turning point for America, igniting an "awakening" in Middle America and a pushback against the political status quo. Plus, commentary from FOX News contributor and host of The Jason In The House podcast, Jason Chaffetz. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

President Trump's 'Big, Beautiful, Bill' became law last week, solidifying his package of tax cuts and spending policies. Now, Senate Republicans are considering a $9.4 billion rescissions package to allow Congress to cut back on previously allocated funds. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram breaks down what's included in the rescissions package and where it stands ahead of its July 18th deadline. Later, he discusses Dr. Kevin O'Connor's testimony about President Biden's mental fitness, and the Butler, PA attempted assassination of President Trump one year later. This week, President Trump signed an Executive Order that extended a key tariff deadline and sent letters to various countries informing them of new reciprocal tariff rates. Although the new August 1st deadline allows for more time for the U.S. to form deals with trading partners, it also sparks uncertainty and concern among small businesses across the country. Executive Vice President, Chief Police Officer, and Head of Strategic Advocacy for the U.S. Chaber of Commerce Neil Bradley discusses how the Chamber is addressing the tariffs and how they're advocating for small businesses.

During the final congressional sprint on President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, a tug-of-war emerged between state and federal efforts to regulate artificial intelligence. A House version of the bill included a moratorium on state laws regulating AI. Eventually, a Senate amendment stripped the massive bill of that provision, which was welcome news for many, including Parents for Safe Online Spaces, an organization dedicated to advocating for stronger online protections for youth. Jennie Deserio, a founding member of Parents SOS, recently joined FOX News Rundown host Lisa Brady to explain why she is grateful for the actions states have taken to address AI and hold Big Tech companies accountable for their content. She also voiced her concern that Congress has failed to act at the national level. Deserio explained how she became a passionate advocate for social media reform following the tragic suicide of her 16-year-old son, Mason. Jennie shared her son's story, explaining why she blames harmful online content for his death. We often have to 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 Jennie Deserio, allowing you to hear even more of her story and her thoughts on addressing the dangers of social media.
