Summary

Recent national polling data brought bad news for the Biden administration, with the President’s approval rating falling to 43%, with 69% of Americans disapproving of the way the administration has handled inflation. Fox News Chief Political Anchor, host of Special Report and Bret Baier’s All-Star Panel, Bret Baier joins to discuss the root causes of the President’s recent but steady drop in the polls. He explains how Americans’ concerns over inflation will complicate passing the Build Back Better bill, how the Biden White House has responded to concerns over rising crime across the country, and the latest in the January 6th committee probe. The parents of accused school shooter Ethan Crumbley appeared in court Tuesday. They are facing involuntary manslaughter charges related to the attack at Oxford High School that killed 4 students in Michigan last month. While the case is unusual and seen as a challenge for prosecutors, polls suggest many Americans support holding parents legally responsible if their child commits a crime with a gun. Andrew McCarthy, Fox News Contributor and Former Assistant U.S. Attorney For Southern District of New York, breaks down the case and discusses whether or not it is appropriate to hold parents legally accountable for the acts of their kids. Plus, commentary by Fox News Medical Contributor and author of "Panic Attack," Dr. Nicole Saphier Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
