Summary

The Trump administration has secured another major trade deal, this time with the EU. Meanwhile, the President is still grappling with disagreements with the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell over rate cuts and with other Western nations over Palestinian statehood. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to break down the internal debate at the Federal Reserve over keeping rates steady and looks ahead to the upcoming UN General Assembly, where some nations may push forward with recognizing a Palestinian state. The fertility rate in the United States has recently fallen to an all-time low, with approximately 1.6 children born per woman. This rate has been steadily declining since 2007. While many are choosing to have fewer children, others are hindered by fertility issues. Emma Waters, a policy analyst at the Center for Technology and the Human Person at The Heritage Foundation, joins the Rundown to discuss this decline and what can be done to reverse the trend. Plus, commentary from the host of “Tomi Lahren is Fearless" on Outkick, Tomi Lahren. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
