The Fox News Rundown

On Monday, President Biden unveiled his $5.8 trillion budget proposal for 2023, which featured boosts to social spending and defense but most notably included a wealth tax on billionaires. The Biden administration has explained this tax would target the top 0.01 percent of American households to include the accruing value of unrealized capital gains. This billionaire tax proposal is already facing a difficult path forward, with GOP lawmakers against the proposal altogether and moderate Democratic lawmakers wavering on their support. Former Economic Adviser during the Obama Administration and CEO of 32Advisers Robert Wolf and Professor of Business and Economics at The King’s College Brian Brenberg join to break down what a billionaire tax would look like and the kind of economic impact it could have.

FOX Across America's Jimmy Failla, FOX Nation's Tyrus, and comedian Alli Breen join the Rundown to talk about the controversial slap and what it means for discussions about race, masculinity, and the state of comedy in America today.

Millions have been displaced by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and while Ukrainian forces continue to defend areas such as Kyiv, civilians in cities such as Mariupol are now trapped in its ruins struggling to survive. Congressman Mark Green (R-TN) just returned from a trip to the Ukrainian border. He joins the Rundown to discuss the stories of refugees he met there, the possibility of a no-fly zone over Ukraine, and why he's troubled by President Biden's recent words stating Russian President Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.”

March 30th will mark the two-year anniversary of the U.S. enacting the public health policy of Title 42, which gave U.S. border agents the power to remove anyone entering the country illegally to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

As the Biden administration faces pressure to end this order, both Democrat senators from Arizona Krysten Sinema and Mark Kelly have cautioned the President against ending Title 42 without a comprehensive plan to prevent border communities from being overwhelmed. Fox News Senior National Correspondent William La Jeunesse joins to explain how Title 42 has functioned under the Trump and Biden administrations, how the removal of the policy could impact U.S. Border Patrol and why Congressional lawmakers are divided on the continued use of Title 42.
