Summary

The Republican-led Congress continues to try to find a consensus on the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ and what should and should not be in it. Many people on Capitol Hill have been concerned about what they call America’s national debt crisis. Texas Republican Congressman Jodey Arrington is one of them, and he recently joined Fox News Rundown host Gurnal Scott to discuss why the budget bill being negotiated must include significant spending reductions and entitlement reforms. The chairman of the House Budget Committee argues that our country’s debt is unsustainable and that drastic action is required. 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 Rep. Jodey Arrington and let you hear more about his concerns over America's debt and what he says needs to be done to address it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
