Republicans Aim For Change With Historically Slim House Majority
House Republicans will enter the new Congressional term with a
historically low majority, controlling only 220 seats. The party is hopeful
that it will be able to pass bold new legislation that President-elect Trump
proposed on the campaign trail such as tax cuts, immigration reform, and a cut
to government waste. Overseas, the Syrian government has been overthrown as
rebel forces took over the capitol city of Damascus, with President Bashar al
Assad reportedly fleeing the nation. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) joins
the Rundown to discuss why he is hopeful Republicans can achieve their policy
priorities with a slim majority, what issues they will tackle first, and what
he thinks of the developing situation in the Middle East.
Over the weekend the United States marked 83 years since the
attack on Pearl Harbor, an assault on the country that left over 3,000
Americans killed or wounded. While December is a time of giving, it is also a
time of faith and reflection. In her new book Under His Wings, FOX News’ Emily
Compagno shares first-hand accounts of how faith impacted those on the
frontlines. Co-host of Outnumbered, and host of The FOX True Crime Podcast with
Emily Compagno, Emily Compagno joins the Rundown to discuss her new book, and what
inspired her to share these stories.
Plus, commentary from the author of You Will Own Nothing, Carol
Roth.
