New information about the Jeffrey Epstein case may finally come to light, thanks to a multitude of subpoenas issued by the House Oversight Committee. Following a subcommittee panel vote last month, Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) released multiple subpoenas this past week targeting officials from the Biden, Obama, Trump, and Bush administrations—as well as former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. FOX News Congressional Correspondent Liz Elkind joins the Rundown to explain what to expect from the Oversight Committee's investigation and how a deeper dive into the case is receiving bipartisan support. Additionally, Liz discusses some notable upcoming midterm races and why former Biden administration officials are hesitant to discuss his mental decline. Later, Congressman Kevin Kiley (R-CA) talks about his proposed bill to ban mid-decade redistricting and California Governor Gavin Newsom's efforts to overrule an independent redistricting commission.

The Texas House failed once again on Friday to reach a quorum as some Democrats continue to hide out of state and block the Republicans' bill that would redraw congressional districts and give the GOP an even bigger advantage. That final map could have a big impact on the U.S. House, given the Republicans' slim majority. The redistricting battle in Texas has sparked a national debate over gerrymandering, and several Democrat-led states say they would redraw congressional maps, too. Meanwhile, other GOP governors say they'd respond too. FOX 7 Austin Reporter Rudy Koski joins the podcast to discuss what sparked the redistricting fight in the state, the tradition of Texas lawmakers crossing state lines during legislative battle, and the national implications a gerrymandering tit-for-tat could have on the 2026 midterm elections.Later, Senator & Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee Tim Scott (R-SC) discusses his strategy for next year's midterm election and his upcoming book, One Nation Always Under God: Profiles in Christian Courage.

The 2016 presidential election and what happened after are under scrutiny again, as the Department of Justice opens a grand jury investigation into the Obama-era probe of Russian interference. Back in July, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified intelligence about the investigation into the Trump campaign, arguing that it would expose manipulation and possible treason by Democrats and Obama White House Officials. Sunday Night in America host and former South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony this week to discuss the investigation and look back at the events during and after the 2016 election that are still in question. Gowdy explained why he never believed the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians, and why he thinks officials in the intelligence community, including former CIA Director John Brennan, lied under oath and to the American people about the “Russiagate” conspiracy. The Trey Gowdy Podcast host went as far as to say it was the Democrats and the Clinton Campaign who colluded with the Russians, and they intentionally tried to undermine President Trump's first term. 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 Trey Gowdy and get even more of his thoughts on what he thinks really happened during the 2016 election.

(The Center Square) – Right before leaving for its week-long August recess, the U.S. Senate passed a minibus Friday evening containing three out of the 12 annual government funding bills. The package allocates more than $153 billion for military construction and Veterans Affairs in fiscal year 2026 alone, $27 billion for agriculture and rural development, and $2.2 billion for the Legislative branch. More than 80 senators ultimately voted for the minibus. Appropriations bills are typically passed individually. The unorthodox move is the result of Republican leaders spending days negotiating with uncooperative Democrats, who stalled on confirming the rest of President Donald Trump's civilian nominees and by doing so prevented progress on the funding appropriations process.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_e61bb11f-68a4-4705-9ee0-61665af9eea5.html

What began in Texas with Democrat state lawmakers fleeing Austin to cities like Chicago and Boston to avoid a vote to change their redistricting map has turned into a country-wide redistricting war.

A California Congressman says he has the answer on redistricting and has proposed a bill to end the argument. FOX's Ryan Schmelz speaks with California Congressman Kevin Kiley (R) who has introduced a bill that would codify that redistricting in states only happens once every 10 years.

We welcome you to this in-depth, investigative, fact-finding episode of Light ‘Em Up.Thank you for joining us — as we march one step closer to achieving an enormous milestone, our 100th episode!In this episode we are diving into complex and impactful topics. We'll drill down on the concept of Birthright Citizenship — enshrined by the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.  The 14th Amendment does not equivocate. It states, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States.”  A president cannot change those facts with a stroke of his pen.We will introduce to you in detail the concepts of jus soli and jus sanguinis.Jus soli: The principle of law also known as birthright citizenship is the principle that a person's citizenship is determined by the place of their birth, regardless of the parents' nationality.It contrasts with jus sanguinis, which determines citizenship based on parentage.On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order trying to end birthright citizenship. Specifically, the order states that after February 19, 2025, citizenship will only be granted to babies born in the United States if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.Birthright citizenship stems from the principle of jus soli, that all children born in the United States are U.S. citizens. Birthright citizenship has remained a bedrock of our country and was enshrined in our constitution in 1868 when the states ratified the Fourteenth Amendment. The Fourteenth Amendment was ratified to repudiate the infamous Dred Scott decision that denied Black people the protections of U.S. citizenship. In 1898, the U.S. Supreme Court confirmed that children born in the U.S. to immigrant parents were entitled to U.S. citizenship in the case United States v. Wong Kim Ark.Over 250 years ago our founding fathers, in the constitution, established 3 separate branches of government: the Executive, Judicial and Legislative. The Supreme Court (and the MAGA 6 on the court) have ceded a great deal of the other 2 branches' power to the Executive Branch — doing tremendous harm to the country.Chief Justice John Marshall famously said, “It has always been the duty and responsibility of the Federal Judiciary to say what the law is, both as to constitutional and statutory law” The Federal Judiciary is not a political role, at all.  Donald Trump has sought to “weaponize” the law and the judiciary to appease his whims.  Rich people can afford their whims.We examine in depth how Trump's large-scale deportations will have devastating impact on employment across our nation.  The nativist Trump administration is waging a war against the rule of law.When all the migrant workers who pick and process the oranges in sunny Florida are arrested, detained and deported and when a glass of orange juice at your golf course county club will cost $35 — you'll clearly understand the true costs and the real human effects of Trump's campaign of xenophobic arrests, detentions and deportations will have on the economy and workforce of the U.S.Barely 2 months into his administration he has issued over 100 executive orders. More shenanigans will ensue.  Trump has declared war on the Federal Judiciary and the rule of law.America is in a crisis, and many aren't even aware of it.  The Constitution is being tested like never before.  Will it break?  Will the Supreme Court continue to help make Donald Trump a dictator?  The courts gave power to Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini.Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.Tune in for all the powerful facts and figures.Follow our sponsoWe want to hear from you!

A recent report from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) reviewed 350 organ transplant cases managed by Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, and found one hundred cases had what they called "concerning features." In some cases, donors were still showing neurological signs, indicating the organ procurement process began for patients before they were officially declared deceased. The report led to shocking headlines, a congressional hearing, and many Americans questioning whether they could trust our country's organ donation system. Recently on the FOX News Rundown, the chief of the Health Resources and Services Administration's organ transplant branch, Dr. Raymond Lynch, joined host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss the alarming report, the process of organ transplants, and what they're doing to ensure that they're done properly. Dr. Lynch discussed what went wrong in the cases where the transplant process began too early, but also emphasized how well the system works generally and how it's vital to saving lives. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.

Many products and produce shipped into the U.S. will face higher tariffs next week, as President Trump meets his self-imposed August 1st deadline to reach new trade deals or implement reciprocal tariffs on U.S. trading partners. While the President secured some major deals before Friday, most nations received letters detailing the tax rates on their imports into the U.S. The White House claims that tariffs will generate trillions and benefit American workers, but some businesses are warning consumers that prices will rise. White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai joins the podcast to discuss the President's tariff strategy, the deals they hope to make with major trading partners, and the concerns some Americans have over the policy. Then, FOX Business White House Correspondent Edward Lawrence analyzes the July jobs report and discusses how a slowing labor market, concerns over tariffs, and other factors could influence the Fed's decision to lower interest rates and the White House's economic plans.
