The Fox News Rundown

Reports continues to surface about former President Biden’s decline, both physically and mentally, before he ended his run for re-election. Americans will remember the infamous debate last June that sparked questions about then-President Biden, and weeks later he dropped out of the race. Now, tell-all books and articles continue to emerge with direct stories from Biden insiders who openly acknowledge Biden’s frailty that they kept under wraps from the public. Democratic strategist and 2024 Biden campaign surrogate Kevin Walling joins the Rundown to discuss the fallout from those Biden decline stories now reaching America at large.  Apple has lost nearly $800 billion in market value since the emergence of President Trump’s trade war. The decline is largely attributed to the tariffs imposed on China, which have exposed the vulnerability of Apple's reliance on China for cheap manufacturing. Apple pledged to move 25% of their manufacturing to India, but is this U.S. tech titan already too dependent on the Chinese Communist Party? Patrick McGee, author of Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company, joins the podcast to explain the origins of Apple placing its manufacturing in China, and he details how and why Apple’s manufacturing center became effectively stuck in China.

However, some have raised concerns about the interim Syrian President's involvement with extremist groups. Indiana Republican Congressman Marlin Stutzman met with Al-Sharaa and members of the Syrian regime last month. He joins the Rundown to explain why he's optimistic about Syria's future yet understands why America must be vigilant and ensure that it operates in the best interests of our country.
