Friday, June 26th, 2026th. I'm Jared Halpern. Democratic Socialists are on the rise ahead of the midterm elections. Some of the Democrats in the party are like, yeah, that's where we're moving. It's younger, it's more progressive. Get on board or get left behind. We speak with Fox News Sunday host, Shannon Breen. I'm Jackie Heinrich. From World Series champ to congressional candidate, we talked to a former Yankee about why he's sliding headfirst into politics. It's a beautiful district, hardworking people that are unfortunately tired of seeing what's happening in Washington, D.C. And I'm Carol Markowitz. I've got the final word on the Fox News Rundown. The Senate sent a rebuke to President Trump this week, then took it back over the war in Iran. Let me explain. Tuesday, four Republican senators joined most Democrats to approve a war powers resolution to limit U.S. military strikes against Iran. That vote was met with anger from President Trump who accused Republicans who supported the resolution of weakening the U.S. negotiating position in its talks with Iran. A day later, President Trump had a closed door lunch with Senate Republicans, and one of those war power supporters, Senator Bill Cassidy, says, got into a heated exchange with the president. The American people need to know. more than we are being told. The Senate needs to know. And it does not appear, although I don't know for sure, that the course of this is going the way that we were told. And so I make no apologies for standing up to the President, if you will, trying to demand that more information be shared with the Senate and more information be shared with the American people. Bill Cassidy seemed to get what he was asking for. He was briefed later in the day at the White House by Vice President JD Vance and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, who he says addressed many of his concerns. So Wednesday night, the Senate voted again on a separate war powers measure. This time, it failed after Bill Cassidy flipped his votes and opposed the measure. But the episode highlights a rift between Republican lawmakers and the Republican president in a midterm election year. Democrats are also dealing with leadership struggles after three Democratic Socialists backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani swept congressional primaries Tuesday. Then there's the Supreme Court still silent on cases that could change election rules for the midterms and the country's long understood understanding of birthright citizenship. I feel like, I felt like we might have it by now. Shannon Bream is Chief Legal Affairs correspondent for Fox News, the anchor of Fox News Sunday, and the host of the Live in the Breem podcast. She joined me Thursday afternoon from outside the U.S. Supreme Court. Because after the arguments, I think most of us felt like, unless something drastically changed behind closed doors, that the justices, the majority of them will probably disguise against President Trump when it comes to that executive order. But clearly there's something difficult.

about them trying to get that thing nailed down. There are maybe some dissents. Maybe there are some concurrences. Maybe the chief has found a very narrow way to come to some kind of split decision. We just don't know. But we'll have opinions again on Monday. We know that's not the last day of the court. So they are definitely going into overtime. But maybe the birthright citizenship decision is turning out to be more complicated on paper than we thought it was going to be for the justices. Is that kind of how it works the longer it takes? Sometimes that signals a lot of. negotiating or trading a paper behind the scenes? Yeah, I mean, that's what it signals to me. You and I know covering the court that the first Friday after they hear the arguments on a case, they take that initial vote behind closed doors. It's private. We never know what it is. Just the justices and maybe their clerks know. But then they start about writing the opinion. And during that time, you can shift votes. I mean, nothing is final until the votes are in, the opinions are written, and they actually issue it. So there could be some horse trading. There could be. some vote swapping. If you can write an opinion in such a way that you bring more people on board, you gain their votes because you're including things that are important to them. It could really shift what happened behind closed doors, but that suggests to us there's a lot of negotiating going on about these last few opinions, still waiting on about eight of them now. I will say one thing that has been clear in the final days here, and this was certainly true on Thursday, we are growing in the number of six, three opinions, these opinions with a kind of clear, conservative, liberal bent. Is that what you would expect for the bulk of these eight remaining cases? You know what? I actually think, and this is an educated guess from the arguments, I don't think that the Trump administration will do that well on birthright citizenship. Again, unless they're working out some really, really narrow. compromise behind the scenes. I think that could be a 7-2, even an 8-1 decision. And that's just my guess. Sometimes you try to make a prediction in the courts like, nope, this is what we did. It's completely different. But I do think you could expect to see a lot of 6-3 and what's left. You know, we've got the trans athlete cases out of West Virginia and Idaho. Can those states ban biologically born males from participating in female sports? You got a couple that will potentially impact the elections. You've got how many days past election day you can count mail-in ballots. and whether or not parties can coordinate their expenditures with candidates. So a couple checks on the president's executive power potentially in dismissing a Fed board governor or an FTC commissioner. Those two cases might split. So I wouldn't be surprised if we see some more 6-3. I think you're on to something. It's going to be fascinating at the Supreme Court. Across the street from where you are now at the Supreme Court is the United States Capitol. And boy, there were some fireworks there this week between President Trump and Congressional. Oh, my goodness. And I want to talk about that Senate meeting that blew up between Bill Cassidy and President Trump. But before we even got to that meeting, was this blockbuster announcement from President Trump that he was not going to sign this housing affordability package. This is bipartisan legislation. It brought together proposals from President Trump, proposals from Elizabeth Warren. It got like 90% plus vote in the House and the Senate. And the president says he won't sign it. until he sees movement on the Save America Act. How big a shock was that to Republican leaders who I think are hoping that this legislation kind of provides them a message here heading into the midterms? Yeah, and they were really hoping that they could, as you said, campaign on that, message on that, say, look, we got something done on the affordability issue. A lot of people feel like how do you even get into the housing market here as a young person or young family in America? And this was

something that, as you said, had overwhelming bipartisan support. And Republicans I picked up, and you may have gotten the same thing. Many of them said to me, they were disgruntled, I think is a good word, because they thought that was going to be a win that day. The signing with the president, look, we can take this out there and show people are actually getting things done, and it's going to benefit them in a real world kind of way. So every time the president kind of snatches back something like the Jay Clayton nomination that they thought might resolve the issue over DNI, over FISA. Republicans felt like that was another slap in the face. prize to them from the White House. And they are trying to communicate to the president. We want to help you. Like help me help you from Jerry McGuire. We want to get your agenda across the finish line. But when you keep pulling out the football from us like Lucy and Charlie Brown, we can't get things done that will actually benefit you in the midterms. And to me also signals how central this Save America act. voter ID, proof of citizenship, those issues are to President Trump, so much so that he seems willing to prioritize that over these other legislative agenda items. How sustainable is that, given that we kind of know what the environment in the Senate is where the Save America Act has long been solved? Yeah, and I don't know when the issue of the math and the reality of what John Thune, the Senate Majority Leader is dealing with over there, whether it will get through to the White House because it has not so far. You know, the president has been very successful in business and many ways in his political career and just forcing things to bend to his will. I'm not sure he can get the Senate to do that, though. I mean, the numbers just are not there for what he wants. Now, listen. The House version of the Save America Act just gets to voter ID and it gets to proof of citizenship. Now, what the president wants and what he's added to the Senate version is, you know, prohibition on most mail-in ballots, issues that deal with trans athletes and treatment for transgender minors. That version has never gotten to 50 votes. It is going to be very difficult to ever get that to 50 votes. And you know in the Senate, absent some end runaround, you've got to get to 60 votes to even move forward. So those who are frustrated with the Senator Mike Lee. of the world who are saying we just have to do it until it works, are saying, you know, the votes just are not there. So the president says, find a way to get it done. And we're at this impasse where nothing is going to get done in the Senate until they find some way forward. There is a big, fascinating dynamic happening with Democrats as well. This ascendancy of Democratic Socialists is something that is getting a lot of attention. It is putting establishment Democrats on notice. We saw the clean sweep of Zohran Mamdani. picks on Tuesday in New York City. The question, I guess... for me is how significant those wins are. We have seen Democratic Socialists do really well in these kind of, I don't want to say smaller elections, but very geographically centered elections in big cities. Is this a clarion call that this wing of the Democratic Party is about to break out maybe in statewide races or become standard bears for the Democratic Party nationally?

Yeah, it's possible. And listen, some of the Democrats in the party are like, yeah, that's where we're moving. It's younger. It's more progressive. Get on board or get left behind. There's an interesting race coming up out of Colorado. One of the House races there that I'd watch very closely because Colorado. is not New York City. I mean, there's certainly liberal pockets of it. But for the establishment Democrats who are trying to say what happened Tuesday night, it's just New York City, they're very progressive, that's what it is. The mayoral primary here in Washington. Okay, D.C. is a big city. It's very blue. But Colorado could be a little bit of a different story if we see the self-described socialist win there. And again, in the past, it would be that socialist would be something that some of these candidates would be tagged with. They're tagging themselves. I mean, this is the... Your own chosen label. You're talking about the Diane to get race in Denver, right? Right. Out in Colorado. She's been in the house for decades. Yeah, she's an incumbent. And so if she's knocked off by somebody to her left who is, you know, embracing a lot of these democratic socialist of America ideals and platforms, then that's going to say something, I think, more broadly, about the party. You saw all the headlines on Wednesday were Zohran Mamdani is now the kingmaker. Well, that creates a lot of headaches for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in a lot of ways. First of all, he lost in some of those endorsements. And Chuck Schumer as well, yes. I mean, he's like, you know, the younger progressive Democrat party members are like, you're not the guy anymore. You're not running New York and not running New York City. You've got to get on board with the new generation. But it also is creating an issue for Hakeem Jeffries. If they do retake the House, he becomes the Speaker, he's going to have to manage those members who are like, let's get rid of vice, free Palestine, let's get rid of police. You know, he's going to have to manage that within his own caucus, too. speaker here and that's part of what he's got to do as part of his job. And those new members coming in from New York and possibly other places are going to be a little bit more radical. And you know Republicans are going to say these are a perfect foil for us. It doesn't matter if it's just New York and Washington, maybe Colorado. We're going to campaign and we're going to play all of these sound bites from the last week or so where a lot of these folks are saying things like Abolish Ice. One of those races, too, you mentioned Colorado. This is kind of playing out in that open Senate race in Michigan, too, isn't it? Exactly. Yes, you've got another situation there in Michigan, which is, you know, again, that sort of potential fracture internally for the party. Yeah, who's calling the shots? Who's actually leading the party now? And so that's something that is an interesting dynamic. Listen, parties kind of always go through these identity crises when they're out of power. But you think that on Tuesday, especially in the Denver primary, that will be a big signal as to where the Democratic Party is more nationally and maybe outside of the big blue cities.

Yeah, and it's going to be harder for Democrats to say what they were all running around here saying on Wednesday. Like New York's sort of an outlier. That's not us. They don't speak for the party. We've got a very broad tent. We want to bring people in from all different viewpoints, but they don't speak for us. Well, Zohran Mamdani, for a lot of people, was doing the speaking on Tuesday night. And I think, yeah, if Colorado goes super progressive, then Democrats are going to have to think about their messaging more broadly. So I assume no shortage of news to cover on Sunday. Where do you start? on Fox News Sunday. It's a great question. We're actually going to be live from the Great American State Fair on the mall. You know, give you a little bit of an inside peak at that 250 celebration. And the fact that we have eight huge Supreme Court decisions still awaiting and the first batch of them landing on Monday, we'll certainly recap and see where we are with those two.

That's kind of been our MO, never give up. And we had a great series. We pitched our butts off and scored just enough runs to get it done. That was Mark DeShera after the New York Yankees punched their ticket to the 2009 World Series. Six games later, he was a champion. The former All-Star played 14 seasons in the majors after he was drafted by the Texas Rangers in 2001. He also played for the Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Angels. But today, Tashara is switching his stance, this time, into politics. He is running to represent Texas's 21st Congressional District. After President Trump endorsed him, he caught more than six 61% of the primary vote. The president lauded his MLB career while speaking in Corpus Christi earlier this year. I'll tell you what, that's the end of the Democrats' chances of winning the game. When you have a top, top major league player in your team, they're in deep trouble.

That's good. We're rooting for you, big. I'm a big fan, too. What a great baseball player you are. He will face off against Democrat Dr. Kristen Hook in this November's election. He says his campaigns about delivering President Trump's agenda and not just playing in next year's congressional baseball game. There's a lot of teamwork that's needed in Washington, D.C. Republican congressional candidate for Texas's 21st District, Mark. to share up. And I think the baseball game is really a fun way to bring people together. And even work across the aisle a little bit, even if it's for three hours, there weren't any, you know, bench clearing brawls in the game a few weeks ago. So that was good to see. I got one more baseball question for you. And then on to other issues. I want to get your take on the Giants this week. You know, the league's in some hot water over there. Pride Night hats. The players who wrote Bible verses on those hats were protested by some Bay Area. GBTQ identifying fans. Some of them said those players should wear the Pride Night gear or be benched. The MLB Commissioner said that those players who violated their rules against altering their uniforms are not going to be punished, but also admitted that the Giants were not really good at communicating that wearing the hat for Pride Night was optional. What was your thought as you were watching all this playout? You must have had some opinions. Yep. Total disaster. PR disaster for the league. PR disaster for the Giants. These players were just expressing their Christianity. They were forced to do something that they didn't want to do. Why do we have pride nights anyway? I played in the major leagues for 14 years. We play 162 games a year. We don't have these conversations. We don't take political stances, two or four, anything. It's a hard job playing baseball and bringing something like a pride night and forcing players to wear a cap. Whether that was the rule or not, that's what it looked like. And like I said, total disaster for the Giants and for Major League Baseball. And I'm proud of the players for standing up for their rights, professing their faith, because at the end of the day, that's the most important. thing here is, you know, we live in a Christian culture where people are trying to silence us. And we're not going to let the San Francisco Giants or any outside group silence our faith. Your run, you have said it's really about securing the country from the border to elections. I was watching some of your recent interviews. And you'd mentioned that one of your biggest priorities if you join Congress is going to be getting the Save Act path. The president's pretty fixated on that too right now, to the point where he actually refused this week to sign the housing bill that Congress just passed, that his own administration had been touting as a major achievement, saying that he wants to get the SAVE Act passed, and he's going to basically hold it until he gets what he wants. The problem is in the Senate. They've made clear that there just are not the votes for that. And there are also not enough votes to change the filibuster to pass it along party lines, which is what he is vying for. So there's this stalemate right now. In your opinion, do you think that it's time for, you know, just looking at the reality of the situation, for Republicans to maybe try to get to something that could pass? Because you've got voter ID, which is broadly, enjoys broad support. But even Republicans are divided over some of the other provisions in that.

that bill, including the mail-in ballot stuff. What do you think they should do? Yeah, we need to figure out a way to make sure that there's voter ID in federal elections. I mean, 71% of Democrats agree that we should have secure elections, and you should be an American citizen, should have to show your ID to register to vote and vote in these elections. So that is... maybe some common ground that we can find. I don't know all the different procedures and all the different rules that go through the Senate. You know, I'm not even in the House yet. That being said, I do feel like we need to be a little bit more aggressive as a whole, as Republicans, just to make sure that we can put pressure on Democrats because this is something that voters all across the nation, 80 plus percent of the total electorate and 71 percent of Democrats believe that we need this. So we should keep fighting. until we get the SAVE Act done. The mail and ballot issue seems to be sort of a sticking point for a lot of the battles right now in Congress and also in the courts. You had yesterday a federal judge side with Democrat-led states who sued the administration over an executive order that included a lot of provisions around mail-in-balloting. signature verification, things like this. But the piece of it that's sticking out is that USPS, U.S. Postal Service, under a proposed rule, said that they would only give mail-in ballots to states that provided them with lists of who was eligible to receive them. Now, a bunch of these Democrat-led states sued the administration saying that that effectively turns USPS into a ballot verification agency. The judge sided with... those plaintiffs and now you have the government most likely appealing this. But what do you say to Republican critics who have an issue on some of this mail-in ballot stuff and argue that federalizing elections infringes on states' rights? Listen, I'm a big states rights fan because I believe states like Texas are doing it the right way. We are securing our elections, and we feel good about that in Texas and in Texas 21 in my district. That being said, there are other states that are not doing it the right way. And so from my standpoint, mail-in ballots for members of the military or people that might be in hospitals that they can't get to the voting booths, I'm okay with that, but there's a process. There is a... a structural, there's a system in place that allows you to have normal bailing. But what these Democrat states are trying to do, they are trying to harvest these ballots and make sure that they can have thousands or tens of thousands of Democrat safe ballots that they can have in their hands and then put in for their preferred candidate on the Democratic side. That's what we need to stop. And so I'm not for taking away states' rights, but states that are encouraging ballot harvesting, encouraging election fraud, signing up people that maybe don't even have the ability to vote because they're here illegally, that's a problem. And so the federal government should come in and end that practice.

Are you at all worried that because mail-in voting is legal in some states and Democrats are very effective at using it, that all of these discussions around the issue of mail-in voting and could ultimately hurt Republicans if it depresses turnout. Do you have any worry about that? I always worry about depressed turnout because if you look at my district in Texas 21, half of the district is in the Texas Hill country and it's spread out. People, you know, people are spread out. They travel a lot. It may take a little while for them to drive to the pole. Like, okay. I understand that there are cities that it's really easy to get people to the polls. We need to let rural Americans know that we want you coming to the polls. We want you, you know, snow, rain, shine, whatever it is. We want you getting to the polls. And so anything that we pass cannot depress voter turnout because the Democrats. A lot of cities, a lot of very urban populations where people are all together, they're getting them out. And we cannot let voter turn out to flip the house or cost us elections in the future. How's your race looking right now? Race is looking great. You know, we have an extremely conservative district. This is Texas 21. Chip Roy is the current representative. He's done a great job representing the people of Texas 21. We're in central Texas. And we get parts of Austin, parts of San Antonio, New Bronfell, San Marcos, Fredericksburg, Curville. It's a beautiful district, hardworking people that are that are. Unfortunately, tired of seeing what's happening in Washington, D.C., tired of seeing socialist candidates winning all over the country, and they're going to fight for America, and I'm going to be right alongside of him. Do you have any thoughts on the Talariko-Paxon race? You know, is there any concern in your mind that Democrats could turn Texas blue? Ken Paxton is going to win this race. James Talarico is... He's just creepy. I don't know a better word. He's anti-Texan. He has said so many things that makes my skin crawl. And I hope voters all over Texas, if you're not a solid red voter, maybe you're an indiponent, you look at what Ken Paxton and conservatives stand for. And you look at some of the things that James Talarico has said in the past and bills that he has pushed for in the past. They're just, they're not Texas values. And I think. that the voters are going to turn out in November and show that. Mark Tashara, thank you so much for talking to us today. It was awesome to chat with you, sir, and good luck. Thanks, Jackie.

Some good news with Tanya J. Powers. Passengers on board Southwest Airlines flight 2958 recently got more than a ride from Las Vegas to Oakland, California. They were witnessed to a very special career milestone for Captain Jim Curtis. He was celebrating his 65th birthday, and in the airline industry, the 65th birthday marks mandatory retirement for pilots. So for Captain Curtis's final flight, he was honored with a special tribute from his co-pilot prior to takeoff. Captain Curtis, he's been flying for 43 years. He spent 21 years serving in the Air Force, and he's been at Southwest for 22 years now. For the course of his career, he has over 18,000 hours of flight time. I'm really honored to be his first officer today because Captain Curtis has been a mentor for me my entire life. He inspired me to be a pilot. On top of becoming a pilot, he also helped teach me how to walk, how to talk, how to ride a bike, how to throw a baseball, how to drive a car, and probably most importantly, he taught me how to carry myself with humility. kindness and integrity both in and out of work because Kathy Curtis is also my dad. That's First Officer Julia Curtis of Southwest Airlines who posted the video of the big event on Father's Day. Southwest passengers are the best. You guys make it fun. We try to make it fun for you. So thank you very much for a great set of. Appreciate it. Tanya J. Powers, Fox News.

Chicago, Chicago, that toddling town, or it was some time ago when Frank Sinatra sang about it, now it's in the throes of something called the Transfemicide State of Emergency, according to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, with no time for a little toddling around the dance floor. Posting to his ex-account, Johnson announced in all apparent seriousness, since declaring a transfemicide state of emergency, our administration has strengthened the city's capacity to support LGBTQ plus Chicagoans. The city, he continued, is centering the voices and lived experiences of trans-Chicagoans to chart a path towards a safer, more connected city. Transfemicide is the targeted killing of a transgender woman motivated by transphobic and misogynistic hatred. Chicago implemented its state of emergency in 2024. You may think such a thing is necessary because of the many, many murders of trans-Chicagoans happening daily. In fact, only one trans person was killed in Chicago in all of last year, and that incident appears to have been a matter of domestic violence unrelated to their trans-stattice. That's sad, but it's not trans-femicide state of emergency sad. American cities are sinking, and few embody this decline more than Chicago. Last week, over the Juneteenth three-day weekend, 39 people were shot in Shytown and six killed. None of them were trans. That is not considered a state of emergency. It's just an average weekend in Chicago, a city that saw 416 murders last year, many of them, young black men.

And those 416 killings were seen as a win for the city, representing the lowest homicide rate in 60 years. But when you're still tallying more than a murder a day, perhaps a celebration should be somewhat muted, lest an SUV pulls up and starts spraying the party with bullets, as occurred at a Juneteen celebration a few days ago. Meanwhile, Chicagoans' quality of life continues to deteriorate, and people and businesses are leaving in droves. When Ken Griffin took his company Citadel and its talents to Miami, Chicago lost billions of dollars in tax revenue and spending. Right now, its NFL team, the Chicago Bears, have one foot out the door on the way to Indiana. Yet its mayor is wasting his time on all but non-existent transfemicide. Chicago has the same population, around 2.7 million, as it did 100 years ago, a lack of growth that tells the story of a city in deep trouble. So its leaders are making up nonsense crises as a smokescreen for the troubles that actually exist. It's obviously so much easier to blather about centering voices and lived experience than it is to solve their city's dire problems. So politicians do just that. They signal to the right people that everyone's on the same team and not to worry about any uncomfortable changes that could actually improve anything for the people. Who knows, Johnson could even declare victory. Maybe it's his trans-femicide state of emergency that's keeping trans people from being murdered in his city, the lived experience of non-trans Chicagoans who get murdered every weekend, notwithstanding.
