    From Washington: The Battle of Budgets

    Last week, Senate Republicans passed a $340 billion budget resolution that could pave the way for legislation to extend tax cuts implemented during President Donald Trump's first term and add billions of dollars in Pentagon and border security spending. However, House Republicans have yet to pass their budget resolution, which is the 'big beautiful bill' that the President prefers, igniting a rivalry between the GOP members in both chambers. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins to break it all down.


    The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) was established in 1974, and since then, it has become one of the go-to sources for policy analysis considered by Congress. Although the office is supposed to be nonpartisan, Republicans have grown skeptical of its scoring. Now, some GOP members are pushing to use outside data to analyze the impacts their agenda could have on the national debt. Georgia Congressman Austin Scott (R-GA) joins to argue why using outside organizations in addition to the CBO's baseline could be beneficial and why the CBO needs to be reformed.

    Extra: The Dangers Of China Becoming The 'World's Dominant Superpower'

    While much of this past week’s attention was on the war In Ukraine and the Trump Administration’s talks with Russia, a prominent Republican Senator says America can not lose focus on another international foe.


    Senator Tom Cotton has written a book, “Seven Things You Can’t Say About China,” which aims to give an honest, unflinching assessment of China's threats.


    This past Tuesday, Sen. Cotton joined Dave Anthony of the Rundown to explain how China became America’s most dangerous enemy, the subtle ways China has infiltrated the United States, and how we must respond as a nation.


    The Arkansas Republican explained why he’s very concerned about TikTok’s links to China and the Chinese Communist Party's use of the social media platform to collect data and influence.


    The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee also discussed what it would be like if China “won” and became the globe’s leading superpower.


    We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.


    Today, on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Senator Tom Cotton, allowing you to hear more about his concerns about China and what actions Washington must take.

    Evening Edition: More Countries Join Ban On DeepSeek App

    South Korea has become the latest country to decide to ban the DeepSeek app from app stores over privacy issues. Regulators in Italy did the same not long ago and both countries say they have found evidence that DeepSeek was sharing users personal information.

    FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Eric Eggers, with the Government Accountability Institute, who says DeepSeek is based in falsehoods from their promise to keep personal information secure to the cost of development.

    President Trump took some jabs at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenkskyy calling him a 'dictator' who 'played Biden like a fiddle', and basically blamed Ukraine for the war.

Jason Crow (D-CO), represents Colorado’s 6th Congressional District and is ranking Democrat of the Intelligence and Special Operations Subcommittee, who says Ukraine needs to immediately be a part of negotiations and European countries must help to secure the region.

    The avian flu is causing massive price increases in the egg industry, with some farms being forced to cull their entire flock to avoid further spread of the disease. The rising costs have been seen in supermarkets across the country, with the average price for a dozen eggs sitting around five dollars.

Chief Operations Officer of Green Eggs Cafe Stephen Slaughter joins the Rundown to discuss the rise in cost for his company, what he has been hearing from his egg distributors, and the challenges that have faced the industry in the last five years.
