About this episode
President Trump has been working at a swift pace in order to lay out all his policy initiatives in his first 100 days in office. One of those was his cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, headed up by SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Critics are calling for more oversight as the unofficial DOGE department makes budget cuts across the government. President Trump also raised questions across the globe when he suggested that the United States might take control of the Gaza Strip at the conclusion of its conflict with Israel. Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer (R) joins the Rundown to discuss the future of Gaza, respond to critiques of the DOGE department, and what comes next in the process to extend the federal budget. The U.S. has sent the first group of migrants to Guantanamo Bay, as the Trump administration follows through on plans to expand this prison for terrorists to include space to house deported migrants. As President Trump’s first wave of mass deportations have targeted illegal immigrants, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says this demonstrates the President “is not messing around.” Former federal prosecutor and criminal defense lawyer joins the podcast to explain the legality of sending deported migrants to Guantanamo. Plus, commentary from radio host and author of What's Killing America, Jason Rantz. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
