The End Of Birthright Citizenship?

President Trump is hoping to get off to a quick start on his first 100 days in office after signing a litany of executive orders. With a small majority in the House of Representatives, it may be a challenge to pass every piece of policy that President Trump planned, including the battle over the reconciliation bill, or bills that the House must pass in the coming months. Former Chief Speechwriter for President George W. Bush and FOX News Contributor Bill McGurn joins the Rundown to discuss the importance of legislative victories in the first 100 days of a presidency, how quick a "honeymoon phase" could end for President Trump, and the challenge of governing with a small Congressional majority. Several lawsuits have already been filed challenging the Trump administration executive order to restrict birthright citizenship. The legal challenges to this early Trump 2.0 policy argue policy changes like this would actually need to rework the 14th Amendment. FOX News Contributor and Professor of Law at George Washington University Jonathan Turley joins to explain the executive order, the looming legal challenges, and what it takes to permanently alter a constitutional amendment.

A New Trump Era Begins

President Donald Trump is back in office after his inauguration, one that was marked by an "America First" theme. The President signaled that his second term will be focused on increasing energy production, securing the border, and growing the economy. The President spent the rest of the day attending celebratory events and signing executive actions in front of a crowd at Capital One Arena. FOX News Radio Political Analyst Josh Kraushaar joins the Rundown to discuss the tone of the President's inaugural speech, how Congress moves forward with a slim Republican majority, and what the first 100 days of the Trump presidency will look like. In his final moments before leaving office, then-President Biden issued a handful of last-minute pardons. Those pardoned include his siblings and their spouses, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and former Joint Chiefs of Staff and retired General Mark Milley. Biden asserts that accepting his pardon is not the same as an admission of guilt. Former lawyer for President Donald Trump and former federal prosecutor Jim Trusty joins to explain how preemptive pardons work and what precedent this sets.

Extra: The Dangers Of Dyes And Other Stuff In Your Food

This week, the Food and Drug Administration announced that it would ban the use of Red Dye No. 3 in food products like candy and cereals. The agency cited a study that found the chemical caused cancer in rats and affected hundreds of items.   The move comes ahead of President-elect Trump's inauguration. His nominee for Health Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has promised to "Make America Healthy Again” and remove chemicals and other additives from our food, which he believes are harming us.   Days after the news broke, Dr. Peter Lurie, President of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), joined host Lisa Brady on the Rundown to discuss the research that led to the decision to ban the dye and why the CSPI petitioned for the reform.   Dr. Lurie explained how this could impact food products in the country, and what chemicals might be next to go as the Trump administration takes over.   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 Dr. Peter Lurie, allowing you to hear more about why he says many food additives and dyes are dangerous, and should be banned ed as well.  Learn more about your ad choices.

A handful of President-elect Trump's cabinet nominees are facing questions from Senators on Capitol Hill.

As he returns to the White House, many Americans will watch to see which issues the incoming President will prioritize during his first weeks in office — including whether he'll reverse recent executive orders issued by President Biden. FOX News Radio Political Analyst Josh Kraushaar and FOX News Radio Washington DC Correspondent Jared Halpern weigh in on the logistics of this presidential transition, President Biden's legacy, and what to expect from a second Trump Administration.
