Evening Edition: The 'Great Tragedy' Of Pete Rose

The all-time hit king, Pete Rose, is no longer banned from Major League Baseball, seven months after his death. A new MLB policy announced this week ends permanent bans from the sport once the person dies. The change impacts Rose and 17 other former players, including "Shoeless" Joe Jackson. Ever since he was banned in 1989 for gambling on baseball while he was a player and manager of the Cincinnati Reds, the debate over whether Rose should be inducted into baseball’s Hall of Fame has been a constant subject for sports journalists and talk programs. Rose’s removal from the ineligibility list makes an induction possible. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent and diehard Cincinnati Reds fan Chad Pergram covered Rose’s banishment back in the '80s and joins the Rundown to discuss the legendary player’s complex legacy, the politics surrounding Rose, and the likelihood he will get a shrine in Cooperstown.

A Supreme Court Test For Birthright Citizenship, ‘Judicial Overreach’

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Thursday in a challenge to President Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship. This judicial battle began brewing on the President’s first day back in office, when he signed an executive order to eliminate birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents not in the country legally. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to discuss which way the Supreme Court justices appear to be leaning in this consequential case challenging Trump's executive power to rein in birthright citizenship. President Trump's return to office has been eventful, marked by sweeping executive orders, federal layoffs, and deportations. However, Mike Brown missed all of it. He, along with three others, was sequestered in a house for Greg Gutfeld's What Did I Miss, now streaming on FOX Nation. The contestants competed to determine which headlines were real and which were fake. Mike joins the Rundown with his wife, Ashley, to share his experience on the show and describe what it was like to be cut off from society for 90 days. Don't miss the good news with Tonya J. Powers.

Evening Edition: Why The President's Middle East Deals Are A Big Deal

President Trump is wrapping up his Middle East tour today with a visit to the United Arab Emirates. Along the way, he spent a whole day visiting the Gulf Arab state of Qatar. The royal house of Thani rules the tiny but oil-rich nation. While some know it for playing host to the U.S. military ever since the days after the September 11th attacks, the state is often criticized for its closeness to extremist groups. However, despite the complicated relationship, this week, President Trump said Qatar will invest tens of billions in the U.S. tech and defense sectors and will buy more than a hundred brand-new jets from Boeing.

President Biden's Dark Cloud Over The Democrats

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.

Evening Edition: New Hope, Old Fears Over Syria

During his trip to the Middle East, President Trump met with the new Syrian President, Ahmed Al-Sharaa, who took over after the fall of the Assad regime this past January. This came a day after he pledged to lift sanctions on the war-torn nation. Some, including former President Obama and members of Congress, praised Trump's decision and hoped Americans could build a possible relationship with the new government. 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.
