The Gender Battle On Capitol Hill

Congresswoman-elect Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender person elected to Congress, has sparked a battle on Capitol Hill as House Speaker Mike Johnson has restricted the use of single sex bathrooms to people of that biological sex. The restriction came after much debate throughout last week, including South Carolina Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace introducing a bill to prohibit transgender women from using women's bathrooms in federal buildings. Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC-1) joins the Rundown to discuss her “Protecting Women’s Private Spaces Act”, the agenda of the Republican held Congress in the new term, and what she thinks of President-elect Trump's cabinet selections.  Joan of Arc, John the Baptist, Saint Sebastian---many people know their names but not the stories behind the legendary figures. Now a new FOX Nation series seeks to do just that. Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints provides an in depth look on the humble beginnings and the lives of some of the most prominent Saints and Martyrs in the history of Catholicism. Theologian and FOX News Contributor Jonathan Morris joins the Rundown to highlight the saints that will be featured in the series, why they are so significant to the Catholic faith, and why it is important for Catholics to continue their connection to these figures.  Plus, commentary from New York Post columnist and co-author of "Stolen Youth", Karol Markowicz.
