Summary

Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley has been under fire after allegations included in the new unreleased book "Peril" co-authored by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa. The authors say Gen. Milley made two secret phone calls to his Chinese counterpart behind then-President Trump's back, because of fears the former President might start a war with China. Many critics, including former President Trump and the GOP are calling for Milley to resign, saying what he did was "treasonous." FOX News Senior Strategic Analyst, and retired 4 star general, General Jack Keane joins to defend General Milley and explain why his actions were not "treasonous," despite what's being reported. Following the recent chaos from the U.S. troop withdrawal in Afghanistan, the Taliban takeover in the region and the ongoing surge of the COVID delta variant, President Biden's approval rating has fallen since taking office to an average of 46-percent. So how important is his approval rating and does it matter? FOX News Sunday host Chris Wallace weighs in on if the President's low poll number could get in the way of his economic agenda as Democrats try to pass his two big spending bills. Don't miss the good news with Tonya J. Powers. Plus, commentary by Jimmy Failla, host of "Fox Across America." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
