Evening Edition: Israel Retaliates Against Iran In 'Limited' Strike

Border Crisis, Anti-Israel Protests Put Pressure On Democrats

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ impeachment trial ended this week before it even began in the Senate. However, will Democrats now pay a political price for their quick dismissal of the charges? FOX News Sunday host Shannon Bream rejoins the Rundown to explain how the border crisis is still weighing on the minds of voters and how Democrats will continue to remain vulnerable over the issue. Bream also discusses the concerns about anti-Semitism on college campuses, the debate over basketball star Caitlin Clark’s WNBA salary, and the 25th anniversary of the Columbine shooting. Many stories over the years about military veterans have been written in the form of books, television shows, and movies, but rarely do we hear the story behind the heroes—the Gold Star families of fallen soldiers. Army veteran, Gold Star mother, and author Gail Dwyer joins the podcast to discuss the inspiration behind her new book, "The Roof Above," a fictionalized account of an army spouse and her family. She explains the reality behind living as a partner and parent of military members and shares her memories of her son Stephen Dwyer, who died in November during a training exercise. Don't miss the good news with Tonya J. Powers. Plus, commentary by former Trump economic adviser and economist at the Heritage Foundation, Steve Moore.

Who’s Funding NPR?: Editor Resignation, Bias Backlash Sparks Debate Over Tax Dollars

After 25 years at National Public Radio, Senior Editor Uri Berliner resigned Wednesday following backlash from fellow journalists regarding comments he made about NPR's political agenda. Berliner published an essay in The Free Press earlier this month critiquing his former employer's liberal bias, which allegedly increased following the 2016 election. Before his departure, Berliner was suspended from NPR for failing to secure approval to speak with other news outlets. Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and former member of the Board of Directors at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Howard Husock, joins the Rundown to share why people criticize NPR's public funding and why journalists should remain open-minded. A part of the immigration debate came to an end Wednesday after both articles of impeachment against U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas were voted unconstitutional in the Senate. Illegal migrant encounters reached record levels in 2023, and released migrants are scattered throughout the U.S., with many ending up in self-proclaimed “sanctuary cities.” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has announced the city plans to spend $90 million to help migrants who come to his city for six months. Within days of the Mayor’s announcement, two counties sued, challenging the state’s sanctuary laws. Douglas County Commissioner George Teal joins the podcast to explain the lawsuit, how Denver has reached “a critical mass point” with their migrant population, and how the issue threatens to spillover and hurt surrounding communities and migrants alike.

On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold gunned down twelve students and one teacher—at that time, this was the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history. Since then, there have been over 400 school shootings across the country, with 1 in 4 public school teachers saying they have been in a gun-related lockdown in the past year. Last week, the parents of Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley were sentenced to at least a decade in prison for missing opportunities to prevent the 2021 massacre. Columbine survivor and advocate Craig Scott joins the Rundown to reflect on 25 years since the infamous shooting, bring attention to his sister Rachel Scott's story, and share how to prevent future incidents. The House Select Committee on China held a hearing this past Tuesday, sharing their findings that China is creating financial incentives for companies to create precursor chemicals in the manufacturing of fentanyl.

Congressman Seth Moulton (D-MA-6) and Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (R-IA-2) join the podcast to discuss the need for bipartisan action on the fentanyl crisis, how Congress can take action against China, and explain how Mexico impacts the flow of the drug.

Is Justice Blind When It Comes To Former President Trump?

Former President Trump appeared in a New York court on Monday for jury selection in his hush money trial. Over the next six months, the former President will be facing criminal trials across multiple states, all while making his pitch on the campaign trail in the 2024 election. Former New York City prosecutor Elliot Felig joins the Rundown to explain the charges that the former President faces. Later, Professor of Government at the University of Texas at Austin and member of the FOX News Decision Desk, Daron Shaw, joins to discuss how the former President will handle the campaign trail and how these cases impact public opinion. The Supreme Court will hear arguments on Tuesday regarding the Capitol riots on January 6, 2021. Hundreds of individuals who participated in the insurrection are facing various charges. However, former police officer Joseph Fisher is appealing his conviction and arguing that the obstruction law used to charge him does not apply. If the Supreme Court decides that the prosecutors stretched the meaning of the law, it could lead to two charges against former President Trump being dropped. To explain the obstruction charge and how it could impact Trump's legal fate, Sol Wisenberg, a FOX News contributor and former deputy independent counsel in the Whitewater and President Clinton investigations, joins the podcast. Plus, commentary by columnist David Marcus. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
