Summary

The deadline to fund the government stands just weeks away, which, if unaddressed, would cause major economic turmoil for Americans. On Wednesday, President Biden told the press that ‘the U.S. defaulting on our debt is not an option," and Speaker Kevin McCarthy told journalists on Thursday that he saw a path forward for a deal on raising the debt limit. The latest optimistic words from the President and the Speaker mark a stark shift in the previously stalled negotiations, where now it seems the Biden administration is willing to compromise on some spending cuts and work requirements. Congressman Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) joins the Rundown to explain why he believes the Republicans’ push to rein in spending is the winning message, how the GOP bill may become President Biden’s only choice, and he weighs in on the country’s ongoing border crisis. On Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled that tech companies are not liable for what their users post. The decision was handed down by the court when they ruled in favor of Twitter in the case of Twitter v. Taamneh, where the family of a terrorist attack victim attempted to sue Twitter for ‘aiding and abetting terrorism’ after it failed to remove content posted by ISIS to the platform. Meanwhile in the realm of politics, reports show that two major GOP candidates, Governor Ron DeSantis and Senator Tim Scott, will launch their 2024 presidential campaigns next week. FOX News Sunday Host Shannon Bream joins the podcast to discuss what the SCOTUS ruling means for internet company protections and how Governor DeSantis’ impending campaign announcement could impact former President Trump in the 2024 presidential race. Plus, commentary by FOX News contributor Deroy Murdock. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
