As Democrats push their green energy policy goals, there has been a push for Americans to switch to electric vehicles. A new concern from Washington about electric vehicles is that many car manufacturers are contemplating removing AM radios from their electric cars and trucks. Republican Senator Ted Cruz and Democratic Senator Ed Markey are urging lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to join them in supporting 'The AM for Every Vehicle Act,' to ensure that over 80 million American users still have access to this technology. Senator Cruz (R-TX) joins the Rundown to discuss where Republicans and Democrats differ and align on electric vehicles and why he believes it's essential that AM radio remains a reliable source in natural disasters. He also shares why growing alliances among U.S. adversaries pose a serious threat that the Biden administration must confront.

First, there were spy balloons flying over the United States. Now, Chinese citizens posing as tourists are spying on American military bases. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Defense have reportedly tracked over 100 incidents of this in recent years, raising red flags that Beijing is using non-traditional means to gather intelligence on U.S. soil. However, many spies walk away with trespassing charges rather than espionage. As threats continue to rise, Congress is looking to enact legislation on the issue, but the Chinese Embassy in Washington, DC, says the allegations are ill-intentioned. Former CIA Chief of Station Dan Hoffman joins the Rundown to explain "the new Cold War" with China, why Xi Jinping is trying to control battlespace across the world, and the national security risks of American military intelligence falling into the wrong hands.

Plenty of focus is on the GOP presidential primary race, while President Biden has had very few campaign events for his 2024 presidential race. Only two candidates, neither holding elected office, have challenged the President for the Democratic nomination, but due to their low poll numbers, he will all but certainly remain his party’s nominee. But who is President Biden’s heir apparent in 2028? FOX News Radio political analyst Josh Kraushaar joins the Rundown to explain how 2024 is shaping up for both parties, which Democrats appear to be waiting in the wings for their shot at commander in chief in 2028, and how key political moments can make or break would-be candidates and create future stars in the political parties.

For the first time since Chinese President Xi Jinping came into power in 2012, he will not attend this year’s annual G20 Summit in India. Though reports say China still plans to send their No. 2 leader, Premier Li Qiang — Jinping’s absence has raised eyebrows across the globe. Why would he miss out on representing China at one of the most influential gatherings of the year? Some wonder if the growth of India, where the Summit will be this year, and their growing relationship with the West may have led to China “rebuffing” the host country. Others voice concerns about what this could mean for the nation’s already fragile relationship with one of our top adversaries. On the Rundown, FOX’s Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent Greg Palkot joins Alex Hogan to discuss what messages he believes the Chinese President is sending via his absence, how this reflects America’s “frosty” relations with the country, and how concerned world leaders should be that China seems to be distancing itself from the other members of the G20.

Surges of migrants continue coming to the U.S.-Mexico border in hopes of entry, leading to what many deem an ongoing border crisis, as border patrol agents struggle to control the border with limited resources & a surplus of immigrants coming daily. This has impacted every state in America, as critics claim a loose border allows for deadly drugs like fentanyl to make their way to the U.S. while large groups of migrants overwhelm small border towns and take buses or planes to sanctuary cities that have now run out of space. One district particularly impacted is Texas’ 23rd district — which makes up 800 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border. On the Rundown, Congressman Tony Gonzales, who represents this district, joins to discuss how the border crisis continues impacting his constituents, why it’s up to Republican lawmakers in Congress to craft border legislation as the Biden administration neglects to do so, and what pathway he believes should be available to migrants wanting to enter the U.S. that is safe and efficient.
