The Fox News Rundown

From Detroit Rock City to the top of the country charts—and now, to the bright lights of Manhattan.

With over one billion streams and counting, powerhouse songwriter J.T. Harding is the creative force behind massive number-one hits for country music’s biggest stars, including Blake Shelton, Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Darius Rucker, and Dierks Bentley. He also co-wrote the global smash hit "Smile" with Uncle Kracker.

Now, he’s bringing a taste of Nashville to the Theater District.

Special guest host Dana Perino recently sat down with J.T. Harding on the FOX News Rundown to discuss his journey to music stardom and his latest venture: Music City. Playing at St. Luke’s Theatre in Times Square, this acclaimed Off-Broadway musical tells the story of aspiring singers chasing their dreams at the "Wicked Tickle" bar.

J.T. shared with Dana what it takes to write a hit, the transition from radio to the stage, and how he's capturing the heartbeat of Nashville in the heart of New York City.

He also had some incredible stories about meeting and sometimes working with some of the biggest music stars, including Prince, Keith Urban, and Kevin Chesney.

We made some edits for time for our weekday version of the Rundown, but we know you will want to hear more from JT and Dana as the conversation was full of great advice, stories, and laughs.

Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share all of Dana Perino’s incredible interview with country songwriter JT Harding.

Happy Fourth of July!

Earlier this week, as the country prepared to mark America’s 250th anniversary, we wanted to take a deep dive into the document that all the celebration is about: The Declaration of Independence.

Adopted unanimously by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia, the document announced that the Founding Fathers saw the Thirteen Colonies as sovereign states and were no longer subject to British colonial rule.

Since then, it has become one of the most influential documents in history.

However, there is so much you probably don’t know about it.

That’s why this week on the FOX News Rundown, we spoke with Ray Raphael, a historian and author of several books about our founding, including “A People's History of the American Revolution: How Common People Shaped the Fight for Independence.”

Raphael discusses the challenges and debates the Founders faced while drafting the document, as well as some unusual facts about that period and those who signed it.

We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear this conversation in full.

Today on the Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire conversation with Ray Raphael so you can learn even more about the Declaration of Independence and the significance of celebrating America 250.

As America celebrates its 250th birthday, the House of Representatives has come to a near-total shutdown over fierce internal policy debates and a razor-thin Republican majority. Fox News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins to discuss the legislative gridlock surrounding the Save America Act, how modern partisan division mirrors the historic clashes of the Founding Fathers, and the cyclical nature of American political bargaining.

Plus, Ronald Reagan Institute Senior Fellow Tevi Troy joins to discuss how the 1976 Bicentennial celebrations compare to today's festivities and explains how studying the views and debates of America's founders could help put our shifting dynamics of power and modern political divide into perspective.

A large population of America is aging and there are not enough healthcare workers to take care of them. The worsening nurse shortage can be attributed to not only an aging workforce but overall burnout and an insufficient number of new nurses. More and more hospitals and organizations have put a focus on training up the next wave of healthcare workers, and keep them out of enormous debt while doing it.

FOX’s Tonya J. Powers speaks with Barb Clapp, CEO of Dwyer Workforce Development, a national nonprofit that trains and places healthcare workers, who says he group is excited to be expanding to more states to try and turn this health care worker shortage around.
