From Washington: GOP Pushback On President Trump's Rescissions Package
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.

Extra: DOGE and the Challenges of Actually Cutting the Deficit
Elon Musk's embrace of President Trump and his campaign marked a pivotal moment in the 2024 presidential election.
Musk was eventually appointed to head the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where he was tasked with cutting federal spending and reducing the national debt. DOGE moved quickly and decisively, triggering lawsuits and further enraging Trump’s critics.
Although Musk has since left the Trump administration and experienced a very public fallout with President Trump, DOGE continues to operate and make an impact.
Matthew Continetti, Director of Domestic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, joined FOX News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss DOGE, highlighting where it was effective in cutting waste, fraud, and abuse, and where it fell short of the expectations set by Musk and the administration.
Continetti, who is featured in FOX Nation's new documentary "DOGE vs. DC," also weighs in on the public spat between Musk and the President, as well as the challenges politicians face when addressing America’s debt seriously.
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 AEI’s Matthew Continetti on the legacy of DOGE.
