Last week, President Trump signed a series of executive orders to dramatically increase and accelerate the construction of nuclear power plants in the United States. One order cuts reactor approval times, another speeds up testing times for new reactor models and a third establishes a joint effort between the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense to build and operate reactors on federal sites. The sweeping orders are largely a part of efforts to meet energy demands of artificial intelligence and domestic production.

FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with John Kotek, Senior Vice-President for Policy Development and Public Affairs for The Nuclear Energy Institute, who says we need to catch up to countries like China and Russia in nuclear power development.

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.

It’s been five years since George Floyd died after he was handcuffed and pinned down by a white police officer in Minneapolis.

Video of his last minutes went viral, and nationwide anti-police protests and riots erupted across the country.

Reforms were made in some cities, and the Biden administration’s Justice Department established federal oversight agreements with police departments, including those in Louisville and Minneapolis.

Earlier this week on the FOX News Rundown, host Jessica Rosenthal spoke with former Federal Prosecutor James Trusty about how the death of George Floyd put a spotlight on police practices and created political pressure to change the way departments operate. Now, you'll hear the full interview where Trusty evaluates whether those changes have been effective and discussed the Trump administration’s recent decision to roll back some of the federal reform agreements that were made following Floyd's death.
