Summary

Democrats say voter frustration over high prices gives them a clear opening to win back the House in 2026, while Republicans argue relief is coming as President Trump’s sweeping tax and spending package begins to take effect next year. With inflation easing but polls still showing economic unease, both parties are sharpening their messaging ahead of a looming midterm fight. FOX News Sunday anchor and host of the Livin’ the Bream podcast, Shannon Bream, joins the Rundown to discuss the upcoming political and policy battles ahead as we look to the new year. The dangers of Artificial Intelligence extend beyond online social media, as AI-powered toys are now exposing children to inappropriate content. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) joins the Rundown to discuss concerns over AI-powered toys and chatbots engaging children in inappropriate conversations, the use and storage of data by companies, and her proposed Kids Online Safety Act aimed at protecting children’s online safety. Plus, commentary by National Security Expert, Dr. Rebecca Grant. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
