It has been a busy start to his second term, and the administration has already addressed issues like wasteful spending and illegal border crossings. He is also using tariffs to negotiate trade deals and boost domestic production. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins to discuss what President Trump has accomplished since taking office. The college admissions process promises a fair shot for every student, but a high-stakes scandal exposed the price some parents were willing to pay. At the center: college counselor Rick Singer, who offered wealthy families a backdoor into elite universities through bribes, faked test scores, and fabricated athletic profiles. Prosecutors uncovered the scheme thanks to a single unexpected lead, launching a national investigation that pulled in celebrities, coaches, and college officials.

Just last week Beijing retaliated against the President's tariffs by suspending the export of these minerals to the United States. Fox Business correspondent Gerri Willis speaks with President and CIO of Equinox Partners, Sean Fieler, about what these minerals are, how China has been bulding their rare earth minerals infrastructure for decades, and the need for federal action on mining and mineral deals to overcome our reliance on Beijing.

President Donald Trump's first 100 days are nearing their end, and Democrats are still divided on how best to respond to the White House's fast-paced style of government management. The party is openly feuding over whether it should go more left, move to the center, abandon identity politics, or fight even harder for groups it thinks need to be fought for. FOX News Rundown host Chris Foster discussed this with Martha MacCallum the other day. The Anchor and Executive Editor of “The Story with Martha MacCallum” and the host of the Untold Story podcast discussed how the Democrats have picked up some questionable causes since President Trump took office and weighed in on the emergence of New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a party leader. MaCallum also discussed the start of President Trump's second term, his biggest accomplishments, and what issues will be key to the Republicans' success in the 2026 and 2028 elections. 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' Martha MacCallum and get even more of her take on the Democrats' disarray and the President's first 100 days.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has become one of the most influential figures in American politics thanks to his significant role in the second Trump administration. Despite his lack of political experience, Musk has become the leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, participates in some cabinet meetings, and even spent millions on federal and state elections. And though Musk's relationship with the White House may be unusual, it's not unprecedented. Senior Fellow at the Ronald Reagan Institute and former Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services Tevi Troy looks back at other political outsiders who played key roles in influencing presidents throughout history. President Trump's top domestic priority is the “Big, Beautiful Bill,” which includes key parts of his agenda like strengthening the border, bolstering defense capabilities, and extending the Trump tax cuts. While Republicans control both the House and Senate and seem broadly united on getting many—or all—of the items done, passage is not inevitable. Florida Republican Congressman Byron Donalds discusses the “Big, Beautiful Bill” and how it will wind up on the President's desk.

The debate over President Trump's mass deportation plan erupted this past week. Much of the focus was on Kilmer Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant in Maryland, who the government admits was wrongfully deported to El Salvador last month. The Supreme Court ruled that Abrego Garcia's release and return should be “facilitated”. However, the Trump administration says it is up to the El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele if the illegal immigrant is sent back to the United States. Earlier this week, FOX News Rundown host Gurnal Scott spoke with author, law professor, and FOX News Contributor Jonathan Turley about the back-and-forth over this case and the other legal fights related to the president's deportation policies. Turley also weighed in on the white house's decision to freeze over two billion in funding to Harvard over the university's decision to reject the white house's demands regarding combating antisemitism on campus. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.

After a trans athlete won the Maine State girls' pole-vaulting championship, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the Justice Department will be suing Maine for disregarding the President's executive order banning trans athletes in women's sports. They argue Maine has violated Title IX by allowing trans athletes to compete and has “deprived women and girls of fair athletic opportunities.” Maine State Representative Laurel Libby joins the Rundown to share why she's unsurprised by the Maine Governor's liberal agenda and why she believes the people of Maine support the trans athlete ban for the sake of fairness. It has been just over five years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the unknown nature of the virus had global implications, including much of the world shutting down its schools and businesses for weeks or even months.

The deportation of El Salvadoran man living in Maryland, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, has garnered a lot of attention from both parties and the American public. Garcia has been accused of being a member of the international gang MS-13 by immigration courts but the Trump Administration still describes his deportation as an administrative mistake and has no intentions of facilitating his return. Democrats are up in arms about the deportation citing a lack of due process but Republicans are praising the move calling it a focus on the safety of Americans citizens. FOX's Ryan Schmelz speaks with Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) who says Garcia entered the country illegally and he agrees with his deportation.

The Trump administration's mass deportations remain a major focus of the President's first 100-day agenda, making headlines by sending illegal migrants and alleged gang members to a prison in El Salvador. Recently, federal judges have pushed back on President Trump's executive powers to execute these deportations. Fox News contributor and George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley joins the Rundown to discuss legal disputes surrounding President Trump's deportation powers and some Americans' concerns about due process. The United States' military advantage over China continues to shrink both in the air and the sea. The Trump administration considers China our top national security threat, and earlier this week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that the country needs to invest more in the military in the event of a war with Beijing.

Mark Meckler is the founder and President of the Convention of States.  I interviewed him at the Louisiana Capitol.  I also interviewed two locals that are involved in the Louisiana Chapter.  Before Mark's interview those two short interviews can be heard.  The first is with Julie Sandifer, Director of the Louisiana chapter, Dale Clary, the Legislative liaison for COS, and then Mark Meckler.

Former Missouri Senator John Lamping joins Marc & Kim to unpack a month of quiet corruption in the state legislature. Lamping slams the new utility bill signed by Governor Parson, calling it a stealth tax hike that allows Ameren to charge customers upfront for unbuilt energy projects. He warns of rate hikes with zero transparency and blasts the revolving door between utility companies and the Public Service Commission. Lamping also discusses Ian Mackey's merger bill and why it's likely more setup for 2026 than a real threat this year. Plus, he breaks down the 'previous question' tactic and why the GOP rarely flexes that muscle even when they should. Missouri's legislature might be winding down, but the backroom deals are just heating up.

Today is officially Tax Day, and parts of the tax code have changed significantly over the years. One significant change occurred during President Donald Trump's first term with the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Currently, Republicans hold a supermajority, and it's time to renew many of the cuts established in 2017 that are set to expire soon. While many GOP members advocate for maintaining these cuts, some are seeking modifications. FOX Business Anchor David Asman joins the Rundown to explain what these tax cuts entail, why many in the business community believe they'd be beneficial to remain in effect, and why extending them may still be a political challenge. Many police departments across the U.S. have a shared problem: not enough officers. In one survey by the International Association of Police Chiefs, nearly two-thirds of responding departments are reducing services---or specialized units--to meet patrol needs. This can also mean that police can respond to calls or solve crimes. Criminologist Alex del Carmen discusses how negative publicity about police work has made the nationwide police shortage worse, and what he thinks can be done to help recruitment.

Beijing has suspended the export of all rare-earth elements as the trade war with the United States intensifies. The demand for rare earth elements, or metals, is growing as the world uses more clean energy sources and more higher-end microchips for the next generation of processors. Rare earth magnets, made by the elements, are used in electric cars, fighter jets and other new and evolving computer technology. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Bret Manley, Executive Director of the Energy Fair Trade Coalition and former Naval Intelligence Officer, who says the United States has to expedite the search, extraction and processing of rare earth elements or we will fall too far behind China in the development of new technologies.

Let me ask you—have you ever experienced something so impactful, so personal, that it made you say, “This has to change”? That feeling is often the spark that fuels the most transformative advocacy. Today, we're talking about turning personal experience into legislative action. Some of the greatest policy changes in this country started not with politicians—but with everyday people who were moved to act. This episode is all about how to transform your passion into policy—and your personal story into public impact. Let's start with this powerful truth: Your story is your superpower. In our last episode we explored the craft of creating a completing advocacy story that captivates your audience in our podcast entitled, The Art of Storytelling in Advocacy. You may think advocacy is all about data, white papers, and legal language—but what truly moves people is human connection. It's your lived experience that lawmakers remember. Stories stick. Take, for example, Candace Lightner. Candace was a real estate agent and mother living in California when tragedy struck in 1980. Her 13-year-old daughter, Cari, was killed by a drunk driver—a repeat offender who had been arrested multiple times for driving under the influence. Candace was devastated. But she didn't just grieve—she acted. She founded MADD—Mothers Against Drunk Driving. In the beginning, it was just a mother with a mission. But through relentless storytelling, media appearances, and direct advocacy, Candace made the issue of drunk driving impossible to ignore. She built a national movement that led to sweeping reforms, from stricter DUI laws to raising the drinking age to 21. One person. One story. Nationwide change. That's the power of channeling personal pain into purpose. And Candace isn't alone. Time and again, stories like hers are what fuel policy momentum. Not charts. Not numbers. But people.

After last week's historical volatility, many investors woke up this Monday with hope as they were happy to see President Trump rolling back some tariffs for the tech industry. However, the break for companies like Apple and Dell may be short-lived, as Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick warned over the weekend that some of their products could still face levies in a month or two. That period may be enough for some on Wall Street, but there are growing concerns about how Main Street is responding to the shifting Trump tariff strategy and recession chatter. FOX Business' Lydia Hu speaks with Siebert Financial Chief Investment Officer Mark Malek about the troubling consumer sentiment numbers and why he's optimistic about the President's ability to negotiate trade deals that benefit all Americans.

The Trump administration is facing legal challenges in efforts to deport pro-Hamas and anti-Semitic protestors that have caused chaos, including violence, on college campuses around the country. A federal judge ruled on one such case last week, marking a victory for the administration, saying the government had reached their burden of deportation in the case of Mahmoud Khalil. The judge said that Khalil's involvement in anti-Semitic protests, disruptive activities on campus, and receiving citations for unlawful conduct during the protests at Columbia University as grounds for removal.

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.

Earlier this week President Donald Trump issued 145% tariffs on goods imported from China. In retaliation, Beijing issued 125% tariffs on the United States, a drastic jump from the original 84% tariffs.  That retaliatory move could have Americans feeling the impact of those tariffs here at home.
