Summary

This week, President Biden announced that the United States decades-old partnership with Saudi Arabia would be reexamined following the OPEC+ decision to cut oil production. The relationship between the two countries has been characterized by disagreements regarding human rights and terrorism, and the latest decision has elevated tension as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are calling for a halt to arms sales to Saudi Arabia. President Biden has called the move "unnecessary," claiming it will only aid Russia. National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby joins to discuss what a reimagined relationship with Saudi Arabia could look like. The 2022 Midterm Election is only weeks away, and the control of Congress and key statehouses is at stake. The latest FOX News Power Rankings show Republicans retaining House advantage, while neither party breaks through in the Senate quite yet. Co-Anchor of America's Newsroom on the FOX News Channel Bill Hemmer gives listeners a broad view of the election and which key states to keep an eye on, how independent or libertarian candidates bring an unknown to the races and the abortion issue as a key motivator for voters.
