Summary

In the wake of Hamas’ October 7th terror attacks on Israel, university campus protests were sparked against Israel and in favor of the Palestinian cause. Many of these college demonstrations featuring antisemitic chants or signs have been supported by some university staff, bringing many to question what exactly is being taught in America’s educational institutions. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) believes cultural Marxism is to blame for this, arguing in his new book, "Unwoke,” that much of what is being spread in U.S. institutions is a dangerous far-left ideology. He joins the Rundown to discuss his new book, how it can explain the surge in anti-Israel and antisemitic incidents in higher education, and the misinformation surrounding the effectiveness of socialism. If someone is charged with domestic violence, is taking firearms away from them responsible or unconstitutional? The Supreme Court will soon decide. A 1994 law that prohibits anyone under a domestic violence restraining order from having a gun is currently being challenged by Zackey Rahimi, a Texas man who pleaded guilty to illegally possessing firearms after his right to own guns was struck down due to his involvement in five shooting instances in 2020 and 2021. On the Rundown, FOX News Contributor and law professor at George Washington University, Jonathan Turley, explains why he believes the Supreme Court took this case on, the current precedence surrounding this issue, and the different factors that make this case complex. Plus, commentary by New York Post columnist Karol Markowicz. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
