Summary

The House of Representatives starts its new term on January 3rd, and it kicks off with the vote for a new Speaker. While most Republicans back current Speaker Mike Johnson, there are a few holdouts that could cause a delay in the certification of the 2024 election. With uncertainty in Congress, the President-elect may have trouble passing his campaign promises on the border crisis, tax reform, and cutting government waste. New York Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (R) joins the Rundown to discuss why she believes Speaker Johnson will return as Speaker in 2025, the importance of Republicans unifying to pass the Trump administration's agenda, and how illegal immigration is causing economic crises across the nation. Artificial intelligence has been a major focus of the year, with experts often vocal about the threat it poses and at odds over what role AI should have in our future. Back in June of 2024, we got the chance to speak with leading futurist and author of “Superconvergence” Jamie Metzl about where the fears about AI are coming from and just how much change the technology stands to bring to Americans and the world at large. Plus, commentary from the President of Human Rights Voices and director, Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust, Anne Bayefsky. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices.
