Summary

President Trump and New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani are set to meet at the White House, a surprising turn after weeks of heated exchanges, as both signal they want to find common ground on affordability and inflation in the nation’s largest city. FOX Business host Taylor Riggs joins the Rundown to break down what this meeting could mean for New York and why economic concerns are likely to shape their first face-to-face conversation. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,” first proclaimed in Philadelphia in 1776, has become a powerful statement now scrutinized amid political turmoil and rising skepticism as Americans reconsider its meaning approaching the nation’s 250th anniversary. Author and Historian Walter Isaacson joins to discuss his new book The Greatest Sentence Ever Written, exploring how the ideals of the Declaration of Independence have evolved over 250 years, and how their core values might help unify a politically divided nation. Plus, commentary by Former Vice President Mike Pence Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
