• The Growing Fight Over Shrinking Government

  President Trump and his hand-picked leader of DOGE, Elon Musk, have set their sights on cutting funding to the U.S. Agency for International Development, known as USAID. On Monday, Trump told reporters he “loves the concept” of helping around the world “but [the organization] turns out to be all radical left lunatics.” Some Democrats have expressed outrage; however, many lawmakers say the truth is that USAID is spending federal dollars wastefully and on the wrong things. Congressman Pete Sessions (R-TX) joins the Rundown to explain why cutting USAID may be necessary and what to make of Trump’s personnel changes at the FBI. Later today, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with President Donald Trump to discuss Israel's "victory over Hamas," hostages release logistics, and dealing with Iran. Netanyahu is the first foreign leader to visit the White House since President Trump took office last month, highlighting the new administration's priorities. Despite the ceasefire, the Prime Minister is facing intense pressure to resume the war in Gaza, and the U.S. is working to extend the truce. FOX Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst joins from Tel Aviv to preview the meeting and discuss phase two of the negotiations.

• President Trump's Tariff Threats Become A Reality

  President Trump's threat to impose tariffs on foreign adversaries has become a reality. Last week, his cabinet nominees faced challenges during their confirmation hearings. Republican strategist and co-founder of South and Hill Strategies Colin Reed joins the Rundown to discuss the early actions of the Trump Administration. He implies that President Trump's deportation plan appeals to voters; however, they elected him to fix the economy and expect results. Later, Colin suggests potential challenges in the first 100 days of his presidency that could derail his goals, highlighting the importance of securing an early win for the Republican Party with tax cuts.  The National Assessment of Education Progress is given to fourth and eighth graders every two years. The results are dubbed the nation's report card, and math and reading scores trend lower than pre-pandemic levels. The Department of Education says the results are "heartbreaking," and students who are already behind won't be able to catch up. Education researcher at the American Institute for Research and the University of Washington, Dan Goldhaber, joins to discuss what states are the "bright spots," why it's hard for students to recover from pandemic learning loss, and the importance of quality teachers.   Plus, commentary from the host of “Tomi Lahren is Fearless on Outkick,” Tomi Lahren.
