Summary

President Trump delivered a prime-time address to the nation, giving an update on the military conflict in Iran one month since Operation Epic Fury began. FOX News Audio Correspondents Jared Halpern and Jonathan Savage join Gurnal Scott to analyze the administration's 15-point peace plan to end the conflict, the true state of the Iranian regime after recent strikes on leadership, and why the Strait of Hormuz remains the ultimate wild card for the global economy. Plus, why European leaders are breathing a sigh of relief—for now. Perfecting proper etiquette is difficult, but help is on the way. Guest host Dana Perino speaks with Alison Cheperdak, founder of Elevate Etiquette and author of the new book, 'Was It Something I Said? Everyday Etiquette to Avoid Awkward Moments in Relationships, Work, and Life,' about navigating social missteps with grace and—most importantly—how to stop annoying the people around you. Plus, commentary by Riley Gaines, 12-time NCAA All-American and host of "The Riley Gaines Show" podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
