[Matt Finn]

To take that action.

[Pam Puso]

Borders are Tom Homan on FOX News Sunday. Critics vehemently disagreeable as protests rage in Iran. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that President Trump will be briefed Tuesday on options of how to respond. Here's Fox's Madeleine Rivera.

Now the Wall Street Journal reports administration officials have had preliminary conversations about how to carry out an attack if the US does need to follow through.

More U.S. airstrikes against the Islamic State in Syria.

[Madeleine Rivera]

The strikes are part of Operation Hawkeye strike, which the administration launched last month as payback for an attack on two Iowa National Guard members. And American interpreter in Palmyra. Syria. Central Command, which oversees military operations in the region, says they conducted large scale strikes yesterday alongside partner forces against multiple ISIS targets across the country. They did not mention how many targets were hit. This is the second round of strikes. The US began this operation on December 19th when CENTCOM says they hit more than 70 targets, including ISIS infrastructure and weapons. Across central Syria. Jordanian forces provided support with fighter aircraft.

[Pam Puso]

Fox's Madeleine Rivera Once President Trump's second term is over, who will lead the Republican Party? Virginia's GOP Governor Glenn Youngkin joined Fox News Sunday to throw his support behind a potential presidential nominee.

[Matt Finn]

I think as people speculate on what's going to happen down the road in 2028, I agree with President Trump and Marco Rubio. I think J.D. vance would make a great, great presidential nominee.

[Pam Puso]

Vice President J.D. vance has not announced any plans for a presidential run in 2028. The deadline for another federal government shutdown is getting closer, with Congress looking to avert that possibility at the end of the month. Senate Majority Leader John Thune joined My View with Lara Trump on what he's hoping to see for an agreement.

[Matt Finn]

I'm hoping that we'll see at least some constructive engagement with them in a way that enables us to fund the government, do the basic things that we need to do.

[Pam Puso]

This comes as the government recently had a 43 day shutdown which was the longest in US history. Guy Moon, an Emmy nominated music composer, has died. Moon, best known for his work on the animated show the Fairly Oddparents, died Thursday after he suffered injuries during a car accident in Los angeles. Moon was 63 years old.
