Summary

With control of both the White House and Congress, Democrats feel the time if right to push their bold agenda items. That was evident earlier this week when they called for the addition of four justices to the U.S. Supreme Court. Bringing the total number up to 13. The Republican Party quickly responded by calling the proposal a "power grab" and an attempted High Court takeover. Earlier this week, host Dave Anthony spoke Georgia Republican Congressman Drew Ferguson about the Democrats' effort to 'pack' the Supreme Court and how Republicans plan to respond to the Democrats. The House chief deputy whip also weighed on President Biden's ambitions to pass a major infrastructure bill and the pushback his state of Georgia is receiving over its controversial voting bill. The interview was too long and we could not include it all in our original segment. On the FOX NEWS Rundown, you will hear our unedited interview with Rep. Drew Ferguson.
