Summary

While the White House and Republicans spent the week touting the accomplishments of the President’s first 100 days, many of the items in Trump’s agenda have yet to be enacted. That’s where the GOP-led Congress comes in. Congressional Republicans continue to work towards passing the "one big, beautiful bill" that includes many of the President’s key priorities, including funding for border security, fossil fuel production, and the extension of the Trump tax cuts. Earlier this week, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) joined FOX News Rundown Host Dave Anthony to outline lawmakers' next steps, detail the key elements of the “big, beautiful bill," and explain why he believes its passage is critical for America’s economic health. Rep. Scalise also discussed President Trump’s first 100 days and addressed concerns about the administration’s tariff strategies. 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 House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and let you hear more about the GOP’s agenda and how they hope to turn it into law.

1:02.1	And we talked about all of this for the podcast that went out Tuesday, marking President Trump's

1:17.9	as the Senate also considers its version that Democrats do not have the votes to block since a special budget reconciliation process is being used, which prevents filibusters, and that means
