Summary

Congressman George Santos (R-NY) faces a 23-count federal indictment for identity theft of his campaign donors and covertly stealing their money. The House Ethics Committee issued a report saying they found "overwhelming evidence" of Santos breaking the law and that "he can't be trusted." Congress plans to vote to expel Santos from the House on Friday. FOX News Sunday Anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to discuss why GOP lawmakers fear they will lose the majority if Santos is ousted, how Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-LA) spending bill became just a "band-aid," and why nearly three dozen lawmakers are leaving Congress. Credit card debt is growing out of control in America, with a recent report showing Americans now have over 1 trillion dollars in credit card debt. How did it get to this point? Ted Rossman is a senior industry analyst at Bankrate, and he joins the podcast to explain what’s behind this historic rise in credit card debt, what this may mean for holiday spending, and the likely consequences for American debt in the future. Don't miss the good news with Tonya J. Powers. Plus, commentary by former Congressman Jason Chaffetz, host of the Jason in the House podcast. Learn more about your ad choices.
