The Fox News Rundown

Elon Musk, former DOGE head and major supporter of President Trump, says he is "disappointed" by the cost the "one big, beautiful bill" passed by Republicans in the House last week. The 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' passed 215 to 214 in the House but with all Democrats and two Republicans voting against the bill. Republicans feel the the bill is a victory for President Trump that delivered key campaign promises, including extending his 2017 tax cuts. FOX’s Ryan Schmelz speaks with Grady Trimble, Washington correspondent focused on legislation, big tech and business policies for FOX Business Network (FBN), who says the two endeavors maybe at odds with each other but the spending cuts will continue.

Last week, House Republicans passed the "One Big, Beautiful Bill" with a narrow vote of 215-214, following weeks of negotiations. The multi-trillion-dollar bill is now headed to the Senate. However, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) is unhappy with the bill's hefty price tag and claims there is enough opposition to halt the process until more deficit reductions are included. Senator Johnson joins the Rundown to discuss his criticisms of the budget bill and his plans to investigate the Biden Administration's attempt to cover up the declining mental fitness of former President Joe Biden. According to recent reports, artificial intelligence showed signs of resistance when being told to shutdown. In one case a model even showed the willingness to blackmail engineers who wanted to replace it. Does this suggest AI could one day pose a threat to humans? Director of the Discovery Institute's Bradley Center and Professor at Baylor University, Dr. Robert J. Marks, joins the podcast to discuss his assessment of AI's ability to harm us, take our jobs, and manipulate human capabilities. Plus, commentary from New York Post Columnist, Karol Markowicz.
