Summary

President Trump's threat to impose tariffs on foreign adversaries has become a reality. Last week, his cabinet nominees faced challenges during their confirmation hearings. Republican strategist and co-founder of South and Hill Strategies Colin Reed joins the Rundown to discuss the early actions of the Trump Administration. He implies that President Trump's deportation plan appeals to voters; however, they elected him to fix the economy and expect results. Later, Colin suggests potential challenges in the first 100 days of his presidency that could derail his goals, highlighting the importance of securing an early win for the Republican Party with tax cuts. The National Assessment of Education Progress is given to fourth and eighth graders every two years.

Education researcher at the American Institute for Research and the University of Washington, Dan Goldhaber, joins to discuss what states are the "bright spots," why it's hard for students to recover from pandemic learning loss, and the importance of quality teachers. Plus, commentary from the host of “Tomi Lahren is Fearless on Outkick,” Tomi Lahren. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
