Summary

On Sunday, Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) revealed that he would not support President Biden’s Build Back Better bill, explaining on Fox News Sunday that he “cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation.” Without Manchin’s support, the bill has no clear path through Congress and Democrats from the Biden administration to progressives in Congress have spoken out criticizing Senator Manchin for this move. U.S. Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) joins to explain why he believes Sen. Manchin withdrew his support for the spending package and why Democrats didn’t pursue bipartisan compromise on this package. Later, they discuss the U.S. confronting China's aggressive acts from a position of strength and how the Democrats’ agenda is falling short of their goals before the midterms. This Friday night is Christmas Eve and many Italian-American families will be enjoying the annual tradition: the Feast of the Seven Fishes. A new FOX Nation documentary featuring actor, comedian, and singer Joe Piscopo looks back at the origins of the seafood-packed meal and how some of the most popular dishes are cooked. Joe Piscopo joins the Rundown to discuss the FOX Nation special and his own favorite Christmas memories. Plus, the Saturday Night Live alum discusses what he thinks of the show now. Plus, commentary by Jimmy Failla, host of "Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
