On October 7th, 2023, Edan Alexander became one of the many Israelis kidnapped by the terror organization Hamas. Originally born in New Jersey, Edan was serving in the Israeli Defense Force when Hamas terrorists ambushed and captured him. For 584 days, Edan was a hostage in the Gaza tunnels until May 12th, 2025. Edan was freed, and his family says their "nightmare came to an end." Edan's father, Adi Alexander, joins the Rundown to describe the terror he and his family experienced while expressing the importance of hope in Israel. Despite the efforts of DOGE and President Trump, America's debt has continued to grow, and with it, the anxiety over paying it off. The President's “Big Beautiful Bill,” while praised by his supporters, has some within the GOP worried it could strain the debt ceiling even further. Former Director of the Congressional Budget Office and President of the American Action Forum Doug Holtz-Eakin joins to explain how everyday Americans are impacted when our government takes out loans in the trillions and what realistic options are on the table if we want to lower the deficit.

This week, a tug-of-war over the Trump administration's sweeping tariffs imposed using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977. The Court of International Trade blocked President Trump's tariffs, arguing the act did not give the President unbounded tariff authority. The White House economic team is confident the administration will defeat this legal challenge, with an appeals court already ruling that these tariffs can remain in effect pending the appeal. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to highlight this legal challenge to the President's tariffs, Elon Musk's departure from the Trump administration, and investigations being launched into the Biden administration. President Trump wants a lot more nuclear power production in the United States, signing executive orders a week ago focused on quadrupling U.S. capacity within 25 years. Nuclear power has long been associated with high-profile disasters and fears of mishaps, but nuclear advocates say it actually is cleaner and safer than fossil fuels. Jacob DeWitte is the co-founder and CEO of nuclear technology company Oklo, and he was at the executive order signing. He joins the podcast to explain the strides made in making nuclear reactors safer and more efficient. Plus, commentary from FOX News Digital columnist David Marcus.

The United States and the UK have reached a trade deal that gives the American agriculture industry far greater access to the UK markets. President Trump called the new agreement "historic," pledging it will reduce the non-tariff barriers that unfairly discriminate against American products by ensuring American farmers and ranchers can sell their goods to global markets. First, Agriculture Department Secretary Brooke Rollins joins the Rundown to discuss the expansion of U.S. farm products into the UK and what the President teased as "billions of dollars of export opportunities produced by America's great farmers." Later, farmer and author of "Land Rich, Cash Poor," Brian Reisinger, joins to discuss how the deal delivers relief to U.S. farmers after the squeeze of tariffs. Over the weekend, news broke that former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among adult men in the United States and is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Dr. Randall Lee, Assistant Professor in the Department of Urology at the FOX Chase Cancer Center at Temple Health, joins to discuss the former President's diagnosis and offers insights on how to detect and treat prostate cancer.

Today is officially Tax Day, and parts of the tax code have changed significantly over the years. One significant change occurred during President Donald Trump's first term with the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Currently, Republicans hold a supermajority, and it's time to renew many of the cuts established in 2017 that are set to expire soon. While many GOP members advocate for maintaining these cuts, some are seeking modifications. FOX Business Anchor David Asman joins the Rundown to explain what these tax cuts entail, why many in the business community believe they'd be beneficial to remain in effect, and why extending them may still be a political challenge. Many police departments across the U.S. have a shared problem: not enough officers. In one survey by the International Association of Police Chiefs, nearly two-thirds of responding departments are reducing services---or specialized units--to meet patrol needs. This can also mean that police can respond to calls or solve crimes. Criminologist Alex del Carmen discusses how negative publicity about police work has made the nationwide police shortage worse, and what he thinks can be done to help recruitment.

It's Election Day in two states, where voters are prepared to cast their ballots for races that could shape the balance of power in Washington and have major ramifications for one state's judicial system. In Florida, two vacancies in Congress have sparked special elections on April 1, and polling favors the Republican Party in both races. In the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, the election could determine if the court flips into conservative control. Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer joins to explain why he is expecting positive outcomes for the GOP. President Trump's "reciprocal tariffs" are scheduled to kick in tomorrow on imports from any country that charges more than the United States. Pennsylvania Senate Republican Dave McCormick joins the Rundown to explain why he's optimistic Americans will benefit from Trump's tariff strategy in the long term. He also discusses the Trump tax cuts, his relationship with Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, and what inspired the book he co-wrote with his wife, Dina Powell McCormick, “Who Believed In You: How Purposeful Mentorship Changes The World.” Plus, commentary from FOX News Digital columnist David Marcus.

Welcome back to part two of our special 150th episode celebration. If you haven't listened to part one yet, we highly recommend that you start there. In the first episode, we explored David Marcus's early years at Mutual Shares, his experience working with the legendary Michael Price, and his journey into deep value investing in the US and Europe. In this second episode, we continue our conversation with David, diving into the second half of his remarkable career. We cover his transition from stock-picker to operator; what it's like running a family office and managing permanent capital; whether value investing works outside the US and how deep value evolved in Europe in the 1990s and early 2000s; the role of passive and active investing in today's markets, and where mutual funds fit in; and finally we cover David's reflections on managing Michael Price's family office, after his passing. Once again, a huge thanks to Stacy Havener for making this introduction. Enjoy! NEW EPISODES: We release main series episodes every two weeks on Mondays.

Last week, President Trump advocated for reinstating the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline project, emphasizing his devotion to creating more jobs and boosting the American energy output and the economy at large. President Biden halted the pipeline project when he took office in 2021, laying off thousands of workers. Former Secretary of Energy during the first Trump Administration and former Republican Governor of Texas, Rick Perry, joins the Rundown to share why he is in favor of restarting the pipeline and why he believes this administration is the most pro-energy administration he has seen in a while. President Trump addresses a joint session of Congress tonight in what pundits are characterizing as a quasi-State of the Union address. The interest in the speech was heightened after President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy got into an argument in front of the media in the Oval Office last Friday. The President is expected to highlight his border policy as well as his foreign policy goals in the Middle East and Europe. FOX News pollster Daron Shaw joins the Rundown to discuss what to expect from the address, what the keys are to a successful speech to Congress, and forecast America's reaction.

It's out 150th episode this week and we celebrate this milestone with a special two-part conversation with David Marcus, who was kindly introduced to us by Stacy Havener. David began his career in 1987 at Mutual Shares working under the legendary investors Max Heine and Michael Price. Mutual Shares was the boutique where Seth Klarman launched his career in the late 1970s. This episode is particularly meaningful as we have long wanted to pay tribute to Michael Price, following his passing a couple of years ago. David's career is one of the most impressive and dynamic that we have featured on the Value Perspective. After rising through the ranks at Mutual Shares, he stayed on when Michael Price sold the firm to Franklin Templeton in 1996. He remained at Franklin Templeton until 2000, when he launched his own hedge fund with backing from Swedish billionaire Jan Stenbeck. After Stenbeck's passing, David was asked by the family to help restructure their assets, leading him to establish one of Europe's first family offices in the early 2000s. He stayed with them until 2009 when he launched his long-only fund Evermore. Following Michael Price's passing, David was once again called upon, this time to structure and manage the Price family office, a role he held until his retirement at the end of 2024. In the first part of our conversation, we cover David's first years at Mutual Shares; what it was like to work with Michael Price; a fantastic anecdote on real-life deep value investing; a journey to discovering European deep value investing; and finally, the most important and long-lasting lesson he learnt from Michael Price.

President Biden claimed on numerous occasions he would not pardon his son, Hunter Biden. Then, news broke Sunday evening that the President would in fact issue a pardon to his son, shielding him from any consequences for federal crimes he may have committed in the past eleven years. Both Democrats and Republicans are not happy with the news, saying it sets an unwanted precedent. FOX News Contributor and GWU Law Professor Jonathan Turley breaks down what this means for the Biden family and how this impacts President-elect Trump's plan to pardon those who participated in the January 6th Capitol Insurrection. Worry grows in the Middle East as Syria, a hotbed for conflict for the past 15 years, comes to the forefront yet again as rebel groups have captured the nation's second largest city, Aleppo. The rebel groups say that they are looking to form a new government by overthrowing President Bashar al-Assad, leading neighboring states to raise the alarm as spillover becomes a possibility. FOX News Contributor and retired CIA Station Chief Dan Hoffman joins the podcast to discuss the history of rebel conflicts in the country, how the infighting impacts neighboring nations, and how US policy has impacted the region.

Tomorrow, Republican Senators will determine who will lead them when the GOP becomes the majority party in January. The three contenders are Senators John Thune from South Dakota, John Cornyn from Texas, and Rick Scott from Florida. President-elect Trump has yet to reveal his preferred candidate, with many hoping he will keep from influencing this contest. Senator John Thune (R-SD) joins the Rundown to discuss his candidacy for Senate Majority Leader and what he thinks his party can accomplish after all its success in last week's election. Last week, federal prosecutors announced charges in a thwarted plot from the Iranian government to assassinate Donald Trump before Election Day. The IRGC is denying these charges; however, many in the intelligence community can confirm that Iran's targeting of the President-elect and those in his administration has been a problem since 2020. So how will President-elect Trump deal with Iran when he takes office? Former State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus explains the Iranian government's longstanding hostilities towards Trump and how a Trump White House would come down harder on Iran by enforcing sanctions.
