The ‘Big, Beautiful Bill' May Be Hitting A Snag
On Monday, the Senate Finance Committee released their revisions to the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' pushing for deeper tax cuts and lowering the State and Local Tax (SALT) cap back to $10,000. These changes have sparked some friction between Senate and House Republicans, as President Trump warned that failure to pass his bill could lead to 'the highest tax increase in history instead of the greatest tax cut in history.' Congressman Mike Lawler (R-NY) joins the Rundown to defend raising the SALT cap to $40,000, and he explains the stakes for the U.S. in the Israel-Iran conflict. Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team members come from diverse backgrounds. Some start their careers in the military, while others are civilians who often find themselves in high-stakes situations. Tommy Wehrle, a SWAT officer, sniper, and former Baltimore County police officer, joins the Rundown to discuss his career and how he joined the SWAT ranks as an elite sniper. Plus, commentary by neurosurgeon and former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Ben Carson. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

The Supreme Court made the right call about the wrong house
The Chicago Police Department's motto is: 'We serve and protect.' Philadelphia's is: 'Honor. Integrity. Service.' Dallas's is: 'One city, one team.' Atlanta's FBI office motto might be: 'Oops!' Last week, the Supreme Court unanimously held that the victims of a bungled predawn raid can sue members of the six-member SWAT team that was looking for drug dealers. With guns drawn, the agents used a battering ram to smash the front door of, and threw a stun grenade into, the wrong house.
