Summary

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. As kids head back to school, COVID-19 cases continue to rise throughout the United States, prompting many districts to implement pandemic-era precautions to get ahead of the spread. Students from kindergarten through college are now being required to mask up yet again, with COVID-related hospitalizations appearing more frequently. On the Rundown, FOX News Medical Contributor and Professor at Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Marty Makary, breaks down the latest regarding booster vaccines, why the method of tracking wastewater is a better indicator of a potential spike, and what new research suggests about the efficiency of masks as a preventative tool. Plus, commentary by columnist David Marcus. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
