On Tuesday night, following pleading ‘not guilty’ to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, former President Trump gave a speech from his Mar-a-Lago home claiming the indictment he faces is rooted in a “fake case” brought with the primary intent to “interfere with the upcoming 2024 election”. Many legal experts have anticipated this case against the former President will not prove effective, and political pundits expect that a Trump victory in this situation would boost his presidential candidacy. On the Rundown, FOX News Radio Political Analyst Josh Kraushaar joins to discuss how he believes the former President’s remarks following his arraignment seemed to be received by his supporters, why former President Trump’s Republican presidential opponents are defending him despite their desire to beat him in 2024, and how he predicts the former President’s legal challenges could work in his favor as he prepares to head on the campaign trail.
The United States still has one of the most powerful military forces in the world, but over the past few decades, China has been building up its military and quickly developing advanced weapon technology like hypersonic missiles. In a recent House Armed Services Committee hearing, our nation’s top defense officials acknowledged lawmakers’ concerns over the threat posed by China and pledged that the U.S. military outpacing China’s would be one of their main priorities. Vice Chair of the House Armed Services Committee, Republican Congressman Rob Wittman, joins the podcast to explain the threat of China’s rapid military expansion, their negative impact across the globe, and the state of the nation’s commitment to military aid to Ukraine.
