Summary

It's day 21 of the government shutdown, and Democrats and Republicans are pointing fingers at each other for the stalemate. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is stepping up his efforts to end the Ukraine-Russia war. FOX News Chief Political Anchor and Executive Editor of Special Report, Bret Baier, joins the Rundown to discuss the ongoing government shutdown, the President's relationship with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russia President Vladimir Putin, and his new book, To Rescue The American Spirit: Teddy Roosevelt And The Birth Of A Superpower, available wherever books are sold. As the global race for artificial intelligence heats up, the United States is striking new deals to secure the rare earth minerals needed to power it. President Trump met with Australia’s prime minister to finalize an agreement worth hundreds of millions of dollars, as the administration pushes to lead in AI development and data infrastructure. Fox Business host Charles Payne joins the Rundown to discuss the economic impact, the competition with China, and what this means for American workers.
