As cases increase here and around the world, COVID-19 restrictions are beginning to make a comeback. Earlier this week, most visitors coming from China, where there has been a dramatic surge in recent weeks, must provide a negative test from the past 48 hours before they can enter the United States.
This policy comes at the same time as some school districts have begun to enforce mask mandates. 
On Thursday, Dr. Robert Redfield, who was the Director of the CDC under President Trump, joined the Rundown's Dave Anthony to discuss what's driving the current uptick in cases and whether or not the return of the peak-pandemic policies will be effective.
Dr. Redfield, who once endorsed similar mandates and rules in the past, explained why we should have a different approach to combatting the virus now. He also explained why our country's health policymakers have failed to properly explain the value of the vaccines that are now available.
Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the conversations in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield and get his full take on the mistakes we made fighting the pandemic and what our approach should be now as we learn to live with COVID-19.

Evening Edition: Police Called To Break Up Anti-Israel Protest At Columbia

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.

Evening Edition: 'Surviving Hamas': Stories Of The October 7th Terror Attack

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.
