Episode description

This week at the White House, President Trump imposed 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum, announcing reciprocal trade measures to counter foreign taxes. He also hosted Jordan’s King Abdullah and India's Prime Minister Modi, as he continued floating the idea of a U.S. takeover of Gaza. Meanwhile, Elon Musk joined President Trump with his son beside the Resolute desk to push for cuts in government waste, fueling a battle over spending transparency. Chief Washington Correspondent at the Washington Examiner Byron York joins to break it all down. This week, the House and Senate budget committees advanced competing budget plans that include President Trump’s top priorities, such as making his 2017 tax cuts permanent and reducing overall federal spending. However, both proposals still face an uphill battle as Republicans are divided on how best to enact the Trump agenda. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram breaks down the hurdles ahead for Republicans, the potential for a government shutdown, and the ongoing confirmation process for President Trump's remaining cabinet nominees.
