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.

"The Worst Day Of My Life": 25 Years Since Columbine, A Survivor Remembers
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. Former Attorney General Bill Barr was among those testifying, and he stated that he was not surprised by the committee's findings. 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.

White House Reaffirms Support To Israel After Iranian Attack
Over the weekend, Iran launched its first direct attack in history against Israel, as hundreds of drones and missiles were intercepted in Israeli airspace. The Biden administration has reaffirmed its support for Israel and is now awaiting Israel's response to Iran. The House of Representatives is changing its legislative schedule in order to put forth legislation in support of Israel. Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Mike Turner (R-OH-10) joins the Rundown to share his thoughts on the White House's response to Iranian attacks, what an aid package to Israel could look like, and what other foreign threats he is keeping his eye on around the globe.  The Declaration of Independence famously promises certain inalienable rights for Americans, "That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."--key principles the founding fathers bestowed upon the budding nation. In his new book, "The Pursuit of Happiness: How Classical Writers on Virtue Inspired the Lives of the Founders and Defined America," President and CEO of the National Constitution Center Jeffrey Rosen explores what the pursuit of happiness meant to the nation's most influential founders. He joins Rundown host Dana Perino to emphasize the importance of sharing these origin stories and how the pursuit of happiness helped forge our nation.

From Fame to Infamy: The "Undoing" Of O.J. Simpson
Former football star, actor, and accused murderer Orenthal James Simpson has died at the age of 76 after being diagnosed with prostate cancer nearly a year ago. His exploits on the football field and in the entertainment industry captivated the nation, while his alleged 1994 murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman divided the nation. FOX News Legal Analyst Gregg Jarrett, who covered the trial, joins the Rundown to discuss the legacy of O.J. Simpson, how the media covered the murder trial, and how the murders impacted the nation. Earlier this week, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled to uphold a near-total ban on abortion that dates back to 1864, giving Democrats more drive to influence voter turnout come the fall. Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to the Grand Canyon State on Friday, turning the pre-planned visit into an official campaign event to talk about reproductive rights. Former President Trump stated earlier in the week that he would not sign a federal abortion ban if elected again. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the podcast to explain why some pro-life conservatives feel conflicted by former President Trump’s abortion policy, and she previews his first criminal trial, set to begin next week.

The Sins Of The Son: Parents Of Mass Shooter Face Harsh Sentencing
Jennifer and James Crumbley were both sentenced to 10–15 years in prison on charges of involuntary manslaughter after the prosecution convinced the jury that the Crumbley's gross negligence enabled their son to commit a mass shooting at Oxford High School in 2021. Sentencing the parents of mass shooters is a relatively new concept for the courts. While the sentencing guidelines for this crime are typically seven years, the actual sentence Judge Cheryl Matthews handed down exceeded those guidelines, opting for a harsher-than-recommended punishment. Criminal defense attorney Jonna Spilbor joins the podcast to break down how this case marks a shift in standards for punishing guardians of mass shooters, why she feels that this case should not have been taken to criminal court, and shares her fears that this ruling will be a legal slippery slope. U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas is set to become the first cabinet member facing impeachment in over 100 years. The move has been met with enthusiasm from Senate Republicans. Now, it faces an unlikely path forward, with Senate Majority Leader Schumer reportedly looking at multiple procedural options to avoid or table these articles of impeachment. House Speaker Johnson revealed on Tuesday that they would plan on delivering articles to the Senate next week, showing the GOP is not done fighting for this trial. Senator Roger Marshall (R-K.S.) says not allowing the trial would be “a nuclear option for the Democrats.” He joins the podcast to explain why our border crisis can be traced back to Secretary Mayorkas and why he believes impeachment is necessary.

‘Leave It To The States’: Former President Trump’s 2024 Message On Abortion

‘Leave It To The States’: Former President Trump’s 2024 Message On Abortion
Earlier this week, former President Donald Trump announced his official stance on abortion, saying this issue “should be left to the states” instead of supporting federal regulation. Abortion access and rights remain a top issue for Democrats heading to the polls in November. Former President Trump’s statement has spurred disagreement among other pro-life Republicans, such as Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who says he prefers a federal ban at 15 weeks of pregnancy. Main Street Columnist for the Wall Street Journal and former Chief Speechwriter for President George W. Bush, William McGurn, joins the Rundown to discuss why the former President’s decision on abortion policy was a "wise one," the merit of states deciding this issue, and why he doubts it will be a winning issue for Democrats. Can someone staying in your home claim “squatter’s rights?” The issue has gotten national attention after high-profile cases of squatting went viral on Instagram and TikTok. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed a bill that he says will effectively stop squatting throughout the state, in a move that strictly limits the legal rights afforded to squatters. Florida Attorney Kevin Fabrikant joins the podcast to discuss the legal rights that squatters have under various laws, the involved process of evicting a squatter, and how the new Florida law seeks to remedy this housing issue.
