What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
It's our turn. Elisa Brady, Fox News.
What updates did President Trump give about potential strikes on Iran and recent missile activity?
That warning from President Trump who says Iran knows it's coming after missiles were fired at U.S. forces in Jordan overnight. All of them intercepted. This followed a pause in U.S. strikes on Iran for several days, allowing time for talks.
And we'll see if we get there with an agreement at some point, but we're going to hit them very hard.
This after the U.S. and Saudi Arabia targeted Iran-backed militias in Iraq over drones fired towards Saudi oil facilities.
But so far, U.S.
How are the U.S. and Saudi responses to Iran-backed militias shaping the regional conflict?
officials are not saying if another drone attack today in Egypt on a U.S.-owned LNG tanker is Iran-related or indicates that the war is expanding. The president said he's been briefed and it's a little more of the same and it's going to be straightened out before revisiting his plans to hit Iran.
Fox's Jackie Heinrich at the White House. The president also telling reporters it would be surprising if China was sending rocket launchers to Iran after reassurances from China's president about not helping Iran.
He told me very strongly he wouldn't partake, but he knows I'd be quite disappointed. And he's coming here, I think, on September 24th.
There's a report the rocket launchers are going from China to Iran through Pakistan, which has been one of the mediators in talks between the U.S. and Iran. A man already convicted on state charges in an attack on author Salman Rushdie has just been convicted again in a federal terrorism case. A federal jury in New York State finding Hadi Mattar guilty on all counts. Rushdie was stabbed on stage during an event in 2022, slashed 15 times and gravely wounded. He lost sight in his right eye. Mattar did not testify. Reassurance from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh as the central bank leaves interest rates alone again, despite persistent inflation above their 2% target.
This Fed will not waver. Our credibility rests on performing our duties and delivering on our responsibilities.
America is listening to Fox News.
A lot of laughter and tears in South Carolina. This family, friends and colleagues say a final goodbye to Senator Lindsey Graham in his home state.
After being taken to the South Carolina State House, the casket carrying Lindsey Graham was taken to the First Baptist Church in Columbia, where former Congressman Trey Gowdy told everyone they'd been wrong about Lindsey Graham.
Was the recent drone attack on a U.S.-owned tanker in Egypt linked to Iran and does it signal escalation?
Blessed are the peacemakers. He was on a trip, what turned out to be his last trip, trying to broker peace in a war where hundreds of thousands of people had lost their lives.
But Gowdy had story after story as well, highlighting Graham's sense of humor.
Tim and I looked at polls and we see that we're like double digit disapproval and we're on the phone with our therapist. Lindsay sees 55-45 and he thinks he's got five points to play with.
Graham is being buried in his hometown of Central South Carolina.
Fox's Jessica Rosenthal.
What were the outcomes of the federal terrorism trial for the attacker of Salman Rushdie?
Oscar winner Glenn Hansard has died. The Irish singer-songwriter best known for starring in the 2007 film Once. Falling slowly. And its Academy Award-winning song, Falling Slowly, also for his role in The Commitments, in addition to his music career.
Why did the American Red Cross declare a national blood supply crisis and what other major news followed?
He died in a motorcycle crash in Ireland early today, leaving behind a wife and three-year-old son. Glenn Hansard was 56. The American Red Cross declares a national blood supply crisis, only the second time they've ever done that, appealing for the public's help as blood donations this summer hit a four-year low.
According to the Red Cross, extreme heat across the country has made it more difficult to hold blood drives and that many donors are out of town right now. Plus, there's been an uptick in patients at hospitals needing blood, a trend which typically happens during the summer months when people are more active.
Fox's Matt Gordon, Max Gordon, they have less than a one-day national supply of the most common blood for transfusions, type O positive. Worst day in months for the Dow, dropping more than 1,100 points. I'm Lisa Brady, Fox News.
