In a recent poll released by Fox News, Americans are speaking out about their concerns regarding the Trump administration's foreign policy decisions. The results are telling, with a significant majority believing that the decision to begin conflict with Iran was the wrong one. This episode delves into the details of the poll, exploring the implications of these findings and what they might mean for the president's approval ratings.

The latest poll reveals some striking numbers, including 60% of Americans thinking it was the wrong decision to start the conflict with Iran, and nearly half believing it's made the U.S. less safe. The president's argument that this decision has made the country safer by preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon isn't resonating with many voters. In fact, 50% of respondents don't think the country is safer as a result of the conflict.

The poll also highlights a key issue for the president: trust. When it comes to dealing with issues like this, trust is crucial, and the president's argument isn't convincing many Americans. The fact that there's no clear exit strategy and disagreement over the decision to begin the conflict isn't helping the president's case.

The latest news from the Federal Reserve has the market on high alert, but is a rate hike really cause for concern? This episode Chris talks with Financial Exchange host Chuck Zodda and delves into the recent announcement and what it means for the US economy.

Yesterday's Federal Reserve meeting saw a quarter-point increase in interest rates, bringing the rate to 4%. But what's behind this move, and what does it mean for consumers? The Fed's summary of economic projections suggests that more hikes are on the horizon, with some predicting one or two more increases before the January meeting. However, the market was already pricing in a hiking cycle, so is this really a surprise? The 10-year Treasury has remained steady, and the speaker thinks that the US economy is strong enough to withstand further rate hikes.

The real concern lies elsewhere - energy prices are on the rise, with gas prices ticking up to $4.43 and diesel hitting new records. The AI boom is also driving up costs, with the new iPhone's price hike due to increased demand for memory chips and other materials. This is a trend that's not going away anytime soon, and the speaker thinks that 2% inflation is a thing of the past.

Tune in to this episode to hear Chuck's take on the recent Fed announcement and what it means for the US economy. They'll discuss the impact of rate hikes, the role of AI in driving up costs, and what consumers can expect in the coming months.

In a shocking turn of events, the United States has reportedly reached a deal with the Iran-backed Houthi terror group, leaving many questioning the implications of this sudden shift in foreign policy. The Houthis have been advancing their fight against Saudi Arabia, and the US has been caught in the middle, choosing to meet with the group separately rather than siding with their ally, Saudi Arabia.

This episode delves into the details of the reported deal, where the Houthis have agreed not to target American ships in exchange for no American strikes against them in Yemen. But what's behind this decision, and what does it mean for the region? Our guest, Jonathan Savage, Fox News Radio's foreign correspondent, joins us from London to break down the possible rationales behind this move and the potential consequences for the US and its allies.
