Summary

President Trump and Republicans are putting a major focus on election integrity. The Justice Department has sued multiple states demanding their voter rolls, while Republican members of Congress are pushing for passage of the SAVE Act, which includes voter ID requirements. Democrats are pushing back, accusing the GOP of attempting voter suppression. Shannon Bream, anchor of FOX News Sunday and host of the Livin' the Bream podcast, joins the Rundown to break down why polling shows broad support for these measures despite "Jim Crow 2.0" labels from critics. She also discusses the President’s controversial call for a federal takeover of election management. Plus, Shannon dives into the effort to reshape the Federal Reserve with the nomination of Kevin Warsh and the high-stakes political implications of the upcoming testimony from Bill and Hillary Clinton. It’s almost Super Bowl Sunday! As the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks prepare for what many experts say is an unexpected showdown in America’s biggest sporting event, we look at the strategies both teams are focusing on as they hope to make history this weekend. Longtime FOX Sports analyst Daryl "Moose" Johnston—a three-time Super Bowl champion with the Dallas Cowboys—joins us to preview Sunday’s big game, discuss how both teams are preparing, and share what it’s like to perform on the NFL’s biggest stage. Plus, commentary by Jimmy Failla, host of FOX News Saturday Night and FOX News Radio’s "FOX Across America" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
