I'm Madison Allworth. I'm Juan Williams. I'm Liz Klayman. And this is the Fox News Rundown. Friday, March 21st, 2025. I'm Jared Halpern. We have a report card for President Trump, Democrats in Congress and Doge. That group has been at the bottom of our polling is Democrats in Congress specifically. So their supporters feel very disempowered at this point. We speak with Fox News Sunday host Shannon Breen.

I'm Chris Foster. Craig Carton went from being one of the biggest sports talk hosts in the country to losing it all because of a gambling addiction he doesn't want anyone else to go through. The more and more people who now are gambling for the first time ever because of the widespread legalization by default means that there's going to be more and more people who are going to be able to

albeit a small percentage of the total, but there's going to be a lot more people that now present as compulsive and problem gamblers. And I'm Carol Markowitz. I've got the final word on the Fox News Rundown.

With a separation of powers is the fabric of our government, there is bound to be some friction that certainly is playing out this week. President Trump is calling for the impeachment of a federal judge and his press secretary, Caroline Leavitt, says there's a clear concerted effort by leftists who don't like the president.

to slow down his agenda. We have judges who are acting as partisan activists from the bench. They are trying to dictate policy from the president of the United States. They are trying to clearly slow walk this administration's agenda, and it's unacceptable. President

President Trump has singled out D.C. District Court Judge Jeb Boasberg, who is overseeing a challenge to deportation flights of accused gang members and questioning whether the administration is complying with his orders. Both President Trump and Leavitt say the administration is.

The judge in this case is essentially trying to say that the president doesn't have the executive authority to deport foreign terrorists from our American soil. That is an egregious abuse of the bench. This judge cannot, does not have that authority.

President Trump in a social media post called for the judge's impeachment, prompting a rebuke from Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, who wrote in a statement, For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose. The chief justice has occasionally said things publicly or issued a statement about something that,

that he feels like is a potential threat to the federal judiciary because he's not just responsible for the Supreme Court. Shannon Bream is the anchor of Fox News Sunday and the host of the Live in the Bream podcast. He really is overseeing the federal judiciary. So if he feels like there is some attack on the legitimacy or integrity of these courts or judges,

that's when we see him get out there and kind of poke his head up out from the Supreme Court and say, all right, I'm actually going to say something here. So pretty rare. But, you know, a lot of people think, yeah, this is a Rorschach test. If you like what the chief justice said, you agree. Listen, if you disagree with the lower court,

ruling, that's what the appeals process is about. Was he hinting like, listen, these things are going to get to me at the Supreme Court. If they're going to get here, the justices will eventually handle this. Just let it play out. I mean, and, you know, to be clear, federal judges were imposing nationwide injunctions on the Biden administration as well.

And a lot of people didn't like them then. I guess my question then is like, is that how long has that been going on? Right. I mean, federal. We hear a lot about district federal courts. Maybe it's easier if you kind of explain kind of what a district court judge is, because I had always thought that they kind of are responsible for disputes in a specific geography, like geographic area.

Is that not necessarily the case? Yeah, so a district court, that's the lowest federal court level. So they oversee, say, the Northern District of Florida, the Middle District of Florida. They have their own territories that they are the baseline, first line of defense there in the judiciary. That's where you're going to start your case.

From there it goes on to the appellate circuit courts where you have multiple judges on a panel overhearing a case. They oversee several states, those disputes that bubble up from those district courts. And then, of course, from the circuit court, you're going to the Supreme Court. So that's kind of the silo of how it all works. But the debate has been over can a single federal judge say in the Middle District of Florida say,

I don't like this executive order from President Trump. And not only do I not like it for the middle district of Florida, which is really where I have jurisdiction, I'm going to say it's bad for the country as a whole and put a nationwide injunction in place. So not only can it not be enforced in my middle district of Florida, it can't be enforced anywhere. So that's been going on for a little while, but it's really increased exponentially, I would say, over the last couple of decades. Because it would be impractical to void an executive order in just the middle district of Florida.

Right. Because then, well, how many different districts do you have weighing in on an executive order? And you may have, you know, the Northern District in California feels differently about an executive order from the Trump White House than maybe the Middle District of Florida does. So there are all those things going on. But to say that one federal judge will have the power to shut something down nationwide. This happened to President Obama. It happened to President Biden. Like you said, it's happened over multiple administrations.

Now, Justices Thomas and Gorsuch have been very vocal in saying, like, it's probably time for us to examine this and rein this in. It really gives way too much power to a single judge out there, unelected, appointed and confirmed by the Senate. But yes.

for the entire country. Even Justice Kagan a couple of years ago spoke about this. And she talked about there's this issue of forum shopping. She's saying, you know, it can't be right that during the Biden administration, somebody runs to a district in Texas and get something shut down. Or during a Trump administration, you run to the Northern District of California and you find one judge to shut this whole thing down. Well, it takes years for it to work its way through the appeal system and play out on the merits. So

You know, you've had Democratic nominees and Republican nominees to the Supreme Court say there are some problems here that we probably need to examine this question. How do they address that? Because I know, you know, this week, Caroline Leavitt, she was kind of explaining, you know, the president's views on this said that they respect the chief justice, but want the Supreme Court to rein in, in her words, these judges. How does the Supreme Court rein in judges?

I mean, to your point, it's got to go through a process, right? Cases don't start in most cases at the Supreme Court. They start at a lower level and then they go through the appeals process and eventually reach the Supreme Court.

Yeah, and you and I know that can take years, literally, for all of those stages to play out. It can also take weeks. We've seen that, too. Exactly. The Supreme Court is so motivated. Exactly. That's the point here, is that a lot of this stuff is being pinged all the way up to the Supreme Court very quickly in an emergency basis. So they can rule on something, maybe not on the merits, but they can say, this injunction goes too far, we're going to lift it for now, we're going to leave it in place for now, until the whole thing plays out on the merits. So...

There are other ways to get to the Supreme Court very quickly. And you also heard the Attorney General Pam Bondi say that this week. We're getting to the Supreme Court as quickly as we can. So they may do that on an emergency basis, which doesn't settle the entire merits of the case, but may lift or leave in place these injunctions, which.

You know, if it plays out for two years to get to the Supreme Court, all right, that's half of the Trump administration that he's got with this one final term he's got. We had this Fox News poll out this week. I think it's one of the first polls at least Fox has done on kind of

What voters think about the Department of Government Efficiency. And I don't think it's surprising that the poll finds that among voters, nearly six in 10 feel that there is an awful lot of waste and inefficiency. An awful lot of voters think that the debt situation in this country has reached either a crisis point or at least is a major problem.

But at the same time, 56 percent disapprove of the job the administration is doing, identifying and reducing spending. And another 65 percent worry not enough thought and planning is going into the cuts. That I mean, it.

It's an interesting kind of look at it like, you know, we want the government waste to be cut. But how you do it seems to be as important is that you were doing it. Is that kind of your read on these polling numbers? Yeah, it feels that way because the poll numbers will show you that people do think the government is wasting the tax dollars that they work hard and end up having to send there.

Some of it they get back, a lot of it they don't. And so this has been my question to a lot of Republicans, and you've probably done this running around the Hill and everywhere else too, saying, listen, at some point do you guys...

lose that argument where people say, yes, I want you to quit wasting my tax dollars in Washington. But when they feel it's being done in a haphazard way, and this has been the best kind of argument line of argument Democrats have had where they don't really have any power to shut this stuff down or stop it is to say Elon Musk is an unelected crazy person who is doing all these cuts and

You know, it's it's you're throwing out the baby with the bathwater. But when this starts to show up in polling that people say, like, yeah, I am with you on cuts and think there's a lot of waste. But I don't like the optics of the way that this is playing out. It makes me uncomfortable. The Republicans are going to have to start acknowledging that part of this equation at some point. Congressional Democrats in this Fox News poll are at 30 percent. Shannon, that's like not good going into a midterm election year.

It is not. And less than a year, as you and I know, is a long time. A lot of things can happen politically next year. But they've consistently that group has been at the bottom of our polling is Democrats in Congress specifically. So their supporters feel very disempowered at this point. They feel like you guys have. What can you do? I need to see more fighting up there because you don't have the numbers. Can you throw technical, logistical, procedural things in the way to stop some of this?

And so, yeah, there's a lot of frustration by their own constituency. But then, you know, you think across the aisle, other people think that they're ineffective and disapprove of them as well. Do you expect this education department, EO? It doesn't eliminate the department. Caroline made it clear that the core functions, Pell Grant, student loans, Title I funding,

A lot of that stuff will remain housed at the Department of Education, but they want to drastically reduce the scope and size of that department. What does that look like? I mean, states do have an awful lot of authority already over their own education systems, but this may be open up additional funding for states. Does it move maybe some of the department's roles to the state level?

Yeah, it looks like that's what the Trump administration is trying to do, knowing that just about everybody out there, legal scholars included,

think that you cannot, from the executive branch, completely get rid of one of these federal agencies that Congress created and they would have to, most people believe they would have to be the ones to undo it, but if you take the stuffing out of it essentially, that you leave a shell there, as you said, that will still oversee a number of critical programs, but that if you try to change authority and funding and regulatory structures so that a bunch of that stuff moves to the states,

That's been long the conservative cry the last couple of decades. That's what they want to see happen with the DOE. So you keep it in name and informant and substance. So you're not facing that legal challenge, but you take the guts of it out and give as much of that back to the states as you can. So I'll be very interested to see the technicalities of how they do that. And I'm sure it will spark legal challenges anyway.

Well, I'm sure a lot of governors will be paying attention to exactly what the nuances of all of this means as well. Too early in the week to ask you about what's ahead on Sunday?

Well, we do have a legal panel, which I think folks will find surprising. It was the first thing I said in our meeting this week. I'm like, let's go ahead and book the legal panel because... I can't imagine what you're going to be talking about. There's going to be no shortage. So we're actually trying to narrow down where we go with that. We've also got Governor Wes Moore, who's one of the rising stars in the Democrat Party. A lot of buzz around him about 2028. And my questions for him are what I'd ask any Democrat at this point is,

essentially who's running the party who are you answering to is it you know now you've got this push on chuck schumer you know trying to make him pay for voting for the c_r_ the king continue resolution that kept the government going uh... or is it kind of the new wave progressives i'm just been crockett alexander acasio-cortez those members of congress are they running the show

Where does the party go from here? It'll be an interesting conversation with Maryland governors. Well, it's more to your point, somebody who is very much viewed as a up and comer in the Democratic Party. So we will be watching on Fox News Sunday. Shannon Bream, appreciate the time and the conversation.

I'm Dana Perino. This week on Perino on Politics, I'm joined by Fox News contributor, OutKick columnist and host of the Getting Hammered podcast, Mary Catherine Hamm. Available now on FoxNewsPodcast.com or wherever you get your favorite podcasts. This is Carol Markowitz with your Fox News commentary coming up.

Craig Carton's back doing what he's been doing since the early 90s, talking about sports and sometimes other things. Now, as co-host of Breakfast Ball, weekday mornings on Fox Sports 1. I do have a problem with it, and Mike Malone's full of crap, is what it is. This is load management. This is not because he can't play or that he's hurt. I don't know if they're scared of Golden State. It would make no sense to me. I don't know.

I don't think they're scared of the Lakers. They've owned the Lakers. But this is everything wrong with basketball. It's a disgrace. There was a break from broadcasting for about three years when he was arrested, convicted, and spent a year in federal prison on fraud and conspiracy charges related to a scheme involving buying and reselling concert tickets. He also quit gambling, an addiction that got to the point where he was heading to Atlantic City casinos at midnight, taking a helicopter back to New York City to be on air in the morning.

He's been open about that addiction and wanting to help others avoid or overcome it. My mission is to inspire hope, offer support, and remind everyone that the path to a healthier relationship with gambling starts with understanding. Welcome to The Comeback. His new monthly show is called The Comeback with Craig Carton. For a full decade, I was part of the most listened to sports talk radio show in the country called Boomer and Carton on WFAN.

And while I was living out my best life career-wise, I was also living a double life and a secret life as a compulsive gambler. It's streaming on FanDuel TV Extra and FanDuel's YouTube page. The more I gambled, the more I wanted to gamble. The more I gambled, the higher the stakes got. And without bastardizing the story too much, I started making bad decisions around gambling. Those bad decisions then led to bad decisions in life and who I associated with.

And for me, what started off as a recreational hobby, something I enjoy doing, something I did since I'm literally eight years old, really took over my life and all rational thought. And I risked everything I'd worked very hard to build from a career standpoint, a family standpoint, and wound up making one bad decision after another, which ultimately led to my incarceration, losing my job, losing my house.

Losing all the money I had saved up and earned over a lifetime of work and made me restart life as a 50-year-old, literally with a couple quarters under a couch cushion and nothing more than that. I mean, and you're...

Luckily for you, you're talented enough and you're well-liked enough that you're back on TV. And so you didn't slink off completely into the sunset. You mentioned gambling early. You want to bike off a kid playing video game cards in the 80s. That Intellivision system was sick, though. I only had Atari, so you were lucky in that respect. Yeah.

Yeah, that's right. Look, my parents didn't gamble, but I loved it from the minute I was exposed to it. In television, I had a built-in casino game, had a blackjack game, had a craps game. I turned that into being a local casino in elementary school as the house.

And I've gambled my entire life from then up until about seven years ago. I haven't gambled at all in the last seven years. So for someone like me, where gambling was such a big part of their life, even before it became problematic, to now, A, not gamble at all, and be able to use my story to help other people navigate the world of gambling is a pretty unique story.

Look, I like to gamble a little bit. I've got the apps on my phone and, you know, some sports and fantasy, you know, maybe a casino every few years for some cards. But I'm fine betting $1, $5, $10, you know, maybe, maybe, maybe $100, you know, before Super Bowl. And I just don't need the escalation like the addicts do. And I, you know, I guess I'm lucky in that I can enjoy it like...

people like FanDuel would want you to do. Yeah, look, you represent the majority of people that are going to gamble, whether it's first-timers to the app or people who are seasoned gamblers at bricks-and-mortar casinos. You represent the majority. I represent the minority. But the issue with the minority is that

the more and more people who now are gambling for the first time ever because of the widespread legalization by default means that there's going to be more and more people

Albeit a small percentage of the total, but there's going to be a lot more people that now present as compulsive and problem gamblers. So, you know, what FanDuel decided to do, you know, about five years ago, which is counterintuitive to running a casino and running a sports book.

is to make sure that their customers and by proxy, anyone who's now going to gamble for the first time or now become a regular gambler, whether it's your football only or casino only or whatever the case may be, big events only, that they're at least armed with

you know, protections to put in place, the reality of what problem gambling looks like, and are more educated customers, which is really great because very few know of none of the other operators take it as seriously as FanDuel does. I mean, like you said, I mean, yeah, it's sort of a conflict of interest. You have a vested interest in

uh, financially, if not morally in, in, uh, in, in people betting over their heads a little bit. Um, but the, the line is from the industry is look, treat it like entertainment. It's like going to the movies or whatever. Enjoy winning when you win, but assume you're going to lose every time and don't bet more than you can afford. But, you know,

What are some of the tools to help people not do that? The majority of wagering becomes emotional for most people and not well thought out or well researched. So the three tools that I lean on the most when I counsel people who are maybe not problem gamblers but are concerned about it, I want to make sure that they're protected against the possibility that they might go down a bad road and might have an addiction that they never thought they would have is number one, deposit limits.

You can control how much money you can ever deposit, which protects you against yourself because if you make a certain deposit and you lose and your reaction is, well, let me make another deposit for more money to get my money back. You could be prevented from doing that. So you control potential losses. Wager limits. A guy that comes in and makes a deposit of $500 shouldn't have $500 on a single game.

So you can control the maximum amount you have at risk on any one individual game. It's almost like treating your gambling the way a hedge fund operates, where one bad loss doesn't kill you and allows you to slowly but surely continue to gamble in a responsible manner. And then the third one is time limits.

You know, if you're going to wager, go online, make your wager. Hopefully you put some thought behind it. And it's not just a blind pick where you're throwing a dart against a huge wall.

And get off the app. There's absolutely no reason to spend hours and hours a day on any of these apps. You have this new streaming show with FanDuel on FanDuel TV and it's on YouTube. The comeback of Craig Carton. It's a monthly thing, I guess. You talk to people about their gambling problems. What's Randy Livingston's story in this first episode?

Yeah. So Randy was an All-American high school basketball player, was a star in college and made it to the NBA and made millions of dollars. And all the while he's living this very public life as a Louisiana celebrity, he was hiding a terrible secret, which was that he was addicted to gambling in and out of casinos. And it wound up costing him everything.

almost in cost of his marriage. And he's blessed to have an amazing woman, Anita Smith by his side. But he threw it all away because he couldn't gamble.

responsibly, gambled beyond even his means, you know, making millions of dollars as a professional basketball player. And the reason we're going to talk to not just celebrities who may have gone down a similar path, but average everyday people, the mailman, the banker, the real estate agent, the school teacher, the truck driver, the bagel store guy is because there's nothing special about me. You know, I'm everyone.

And the reason we're doing this show is to do our best to a humanize addicts and to help addicts like myself, you'll live without the stigma of being an addict. You know, nobody wants to admit that they're addicted to anything when it comes to gambling. It's even more pervasive and worse than, you know, being a drug addict or an alcoholic because those people can't really hide when they're using drugs.

You know, if you lined up 10 people across the room and one guy's drunk, one guy's stoned, and one guy's a gambling addict, you have no way of finding out the gambling addict. One thing I wonder about gambling addiction, about maybe how it's maybe more insidious,

In addition to being less detectable with some other addictions, you get high, you get drunk, whatever the satisfaction is. And that's that with gambling. You also, there's that. And also you can come away with money and the ego boost of winning. So you get, so you get high plus other, these other tangible benefits possibly. Yeah. So it's, it's a very unique addiction in that what you said is accurate. It's the only addiction where you,

you could potentially make money. Now, anybody that goes into this thinking that gambling is now my job, I'm going to support myself with it, you could drop that idea right now. It's fool's gold. There aren't 50 human beings alive on this planet who legitimately can make a living, a positive income year after year,

based solely on gambling the animal does not exist anyone that thinks they're going to be that guy sorry to break you know burst the bubble you're not you're not going to be that guy um so from that standpoint yes you have to fight that a lot a little bit you know there's the potential upside of putting money in your bank account but that of course is short-lived for the far majority of people like it's supposed to be fun it's supposed to be you

you know, recreational, something you do in a group of people, you know, this week, especially because of March Madness is a reason March is your problem gambling awareness month, because there are going to be so many people, so many young people that are now going to gamble for the first time on the college basketball, you know, March Madness tournament.

that it's one of our biggest concerns because there will be first-time gamblers that cannot control themselves, that can't stop after a loss, chase bad money, good money with bad money, and find themselves very quickly in a hole financially that they can't get out of. But when it comes to the actual addict, when they're gambling, it's exactly the same as a drug addict getting high or an alcoholic needing a drink.

Because our brains and the endorphins in our brains process it the same way. And you can get to a point, and I did quite famously, where the amount of money you're gambling is no longer relevant. You know, I'm betting $30,000 on a hand of blackjack. And win or lose, obviously you want to win.

But didn't matter as much as playing mattered. And that's very similar to the drug addict chasing the high or the alcoholic. You're chasing the buzz. It's very similar in that regard. Well, Craig, it's good to have you back on the air. Craig Carton, again, host of Breakfast Ball, Fox Sports 1 and this new streaming show with FanDuel TV to come back with Craig Carton. Craig, thanks a lot. Good to talk to you. Enjoy the tournament. Thank you so much. You as well.

And now, some good news with Tanya J. Powers.

A Florida elementary school secretary has been given a statewide honor for her decades of service in education. Bonnie Walters has been working as the principal secretary at Tampa Palms Elementary School for nearly 30 years. She says it's a role that's brought her joy. Recently, she was recognized for her dedication to the school's students and staff, being named the 2025 Excellence in Education Instructional Support Employee of the Year.

The award is given by the Hillsborough Education Foundation and Hillsborough County Schools. Hillsborough is the county where Tampa sits.

Walters is the first person to arrive at Tampa Palms Elementary in the mornings and gets everything ready so things run smoothly when students walk through the doors. She makes time for them, listening to them read and celebrate their achievements. Her commitment to the school doesn't stop there. She also attends student performances, Eagle Scout inductions, and even weddings, maintaining the bonds with students long after they leave her office.

Walters became involved with the school when her kids attended. She was a homeroom mom, so popular that the school offered her a job and she's been there ever since. She says she's not done either. Walters says she wants to stick around for more generations of students and has no plans to leave. Tonya J. Powers, Fox News.

It's time for your Fox News commentary. Carol Markowitz. What's on your mind? Mirror, mirror on the wall. Will woke Snow White cause Disney's fall? Snow White is the opposite of highly anticipated. There have been years of coverage for this movie, but most of it has been negative for the film and unpleasant for Disney. Controversy has swirled for so long around the film, particularly around the toxic actress playing Snow White, Rachel Zegler.

It hasn't helped that Zegler has spent years talking down the film. She told Variety in 2022 that the original version of Snow White had, quote, a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird. So we didn't do that this time. I was scared of the original version. I think I watched it once and never picked it up again. End quote. She was scared of Snow White, the story of the character she's playing. That should have been a sign to Disney that she would be an ongoing problem.

The original film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, was released in 1937 and was Disney's first full-length feature film and one of the first animated feature films. Disney once inspired true devotion from their fans and Snow White continues to loom large in the imagination of Disney fans. Zegler's attack on the beloved tale were disrespectful and arrogant.

Following the election in November, Zegler took to her Instagram account to say, quote, May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace, end quote, before adding F Donald Trump. Having a controversial actress who offends half the country might not be a big deal if she were a substantial talent or someone who is a great caretaker of the Disney brand. Zegler isn't either of these things.

The movie might not be the dud that people are largely expecting. It's a dead time for movies. The film Novocaine only managed an $8.5 million opening this past weekend at the top of the pack. So it's possible Snow White will look more successful in comparison and that the controversies actually provide a bump. The forecast right now is that Snow White will have a $50 million opening weekend. But Snow White is a beloved classic and Disney's previous live action remakes did far better.

Disney might see the $50 million number as a win, but the road there has been long and difficult, and Disney needs to decide whether it wants to continue on this path to doom. It hasn't helped that Disney, the company, has had so many missteps in the last few years. From adding content warning to old films to getting rid of terms like ladies and gentlemen at their parks, Disney was swallowed whole by the leftist woke moment.

With Donald Trump's election, the country is in a new phase, moving away from the woke years of the Joe Biden administration and toward a more patriotic, optimistic future. Disney was once exactly this type of company that would be soaring at a time like this. It can be that company again. Disney has to leave behind the fear that wokeness has caused for their business.

No longer should they accept their leading actresses talking down their brand, nor making vicious political comments while promoting their movie. Disney can return to a culture of creating family content without subliminal woke messaging and start to rebuild the trust they've lost with Americans.

Disney needs to show families that they've learned from their mistakes. Their bottom line is evidence of these errors. If they correct them, they can flourish again. If they don't, Snow White won't be the last movie for which they'll need to make excuses on opening weekend. I'm Carol Markowitz, columnist for the New York Post and Fox News. ♪
