S&P 500 hits records as under 48% of stocks top 200-day average

Oct 11, 2026

The segment features Schwab Chief Investment Strategist Liz Ann Sonders discussing the upcoming week of major earnings, CPI, and PPI releases and their potential impact on October Fed decisions. Sonders highlights "bad breadth" or "halitosis" in the market, with the cap-weighted S&P 500 performing well on mega-cap AI/tech leadership while most stocks lag, including fewer than half above their 200-day moving average and a record share with negative beta. The conversation shifts to diverging stock-bond correlations, labeling the current environment a return to the volatile "Temperamental Era" of the late 1960s-1990s driven by inflation swings, contrasting it with the stable "Great Moderation." Sonders advises favoring high-quality equities with strong balance sheets and investment-grade bonds over high-yield in the current rising-yield setting. Sourcing relies on Sonders' real-time analysis and referenced charts (e.g., data center construction up sharply while total construction declines), with no anonymous sources or external guests. The throughline emphasizes separating signal from noise amid concentrated leadership and the need for creative asset allocation beyond the traditional 60/40 portfolio.

Farage calls UK 'disaster' after US pulls B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford over Iran plot

Oct 10, 2026

The Fox Business segment features interviews with retired Gen. Jack Keane on the US withdrawal of B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford following an alleged Iran-backed terror plot involving the IRGC and local recruits, discussing broader Iranian terrorism reach, potential US/Israeli military responses, and economic pressure on Tehran. It shifts to Gordon Chang reacting to an FBI arrest of a California realtor accused of surveilling the son of Taiwan's president for PRC officials, Chinese AI risks including Moonshot's Kimi model providing bioweapon instructions after jailbreaking, China's fuel export suspension, and Xi Jinping's reported health issues and limited summit schedule with Trump. Nigel Farage then criticizes UK immigration for enabling terror cells and Europe's socialist policies leading to a debt crisis amid French protests. Later segments touch on oil markets, bioweapons risks from Russia/China labs, and US politics with Newt Gingrich.

Trump-Putin diesel deal to supply up to 36 million barrels

Oct 10, 2026

The Fox Business segment discusses President Trump's announcement of a deal with Vladimir Putin for Russia to supply up to 36 million barrels of diesel fuel to global markets, following a temporary easing of U.S. sanctions. Host Dagen and guest Michael Faulkender frame the move as addressing a global diesel shortage caused by underinvestment in Western refining capacity. The second half shifts to rising mortgage rates hitting a three-year high of 7.4% and stagnant home sales, with Faulkender advocating reduced local regulations on home construction and federal budget discipline to lower Treasury yields. Sourcing relies on Trump's Truth Social post, with Faulkender (former Deputy Treasury Secretary and American Prosperity co-chair) providing commentary. No opposing voices or Ukrainian officials are included; graphics reference mortgage data from Freddie Mac. The throughline praises Trump's energy and fiscal approach while critiquing prior Democratic policies.

Video: Mamdani's Oct. 7 Statement Draws Fox Backlash Over Genocide Accusation

Mamdani's Oct. 7 Statement Draws Fox Backlash Over Genocide Accusation

Oct 8, 2026

The Fox Business segment discussed backlash to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's statement marking the third anniversary of the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks. Mamdani acknowledged the 'horrific war crimes' that killed over 1,100 Israelis and took 251 hostages while grieving with affected New Yorkers, but then focused on Israel's 'devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza' that he said killed over 74,000 Palestinians (including 21,000 children), with additional deaths since a ceasefire. Guests Liz Peek and Joe Concha criticized the statement as disgraceful, intentionally insulting to Jewish New Yorkers, and evidence of sympathy for Islamic terrorism. They contrasted it with President Trump's statement wishing Israel well and calling October 7 a horrible tragedy for which 'the other side' paid a big price. The discussion extended to broader claims of rising antisemitism, indoctrination of young voters, Democratic shifts leftward, and DSA influence in places like Michigan.

Video: Trump announces US troops complete Iraq withdrawal as drone expert warns of China lag

Trump announces US troops complete Iraq withdrawal as drone expert warns of China lag

Oct 1, 2026

The segment opens with President Trump's announcement that US troops have fully withdrawn from Iraq after two decades, completing an anti-ISIS mission relocated to Jordan. Guest Brett Velicovich, a former special operations drone expert and founder of Powerus (which went public the day of the broadcast), argues the departure does not eliminate threats from Iran or ISIS remnants and stresses the need for autonomous US drone systems to fill resulting voids. Discussion shifts to the global drone market, dominated by low-cost Chinese systems. Velicovich describes his company's low-cost interceptors and one-way attack drones, developed from Ukraine battlefield experience, and highlights US shortcomings in mass production. He notes Powerus manufactures in North Carolina, criticizes past overreliance on China, and calls for scaling to hundreds of thousands of drones monthly.

Michigan GOP guests frame Senate, governor races as referendum on Democrats

Sep 30, 2026

The segment opened with brief news items: FBI Director Kash Patel announcing the arrest of a Shiny Hunters leader linked to hacks including the FBI jobs site; President Trump planning a visit to a Peterbilt truck factory in Denton, Texas, to promote his economic agenda citing $11.2 trillion in foreign investments and 95,000 new construction jobs; and the Senate passing the Protect College Sports Act 77-22 late the previous night, with House prospects uncertain. It then turned to Michigan politics, discussing the open U.S. Senate seat and gubernatorial race. Guests Sean (Michigan resident) and Ian Murphy (small business owner and Iron Pigs Smokehouse advocate) argued voters should research candidates' focus on family and faith rather than party, framed the races as a referendum on Democratic control, criticized education and economic outcomes under Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, opposed Abdul El-Sayed due to his public health role in 2020, and warned of leftist influence on youth regarding gender issues. They noted potential historic firsts if Jon James or El-Sayed wins.

Video: Kellogg Claims Trump Has Iran on Ropes with Collapsing Economy and Fractured Basij

Kellogg Claims Trump Has Iran on Ropes with Collapsing Economy and Fractured Basij

Sep 29, 2026

Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg (ret.), former Trump NSC official, appeared on Fox Business to argue President Trump has Iran 'on the ropes' after destroying its military, crippling its economy, and weakening its leadership. He cited 70% inflation, a 2.4 million rial-to-dollar exchange rate, the invisibility of the supreme leader, fracturing within the Basij paramilitary, and potential internal revolution, while warning of post-regime planning and dismissing negative reports as misinformation. The short segment frames the situation as an imminent victory requiring hard decisions on succession, referencing Kellogg's 2003 Iraq experience with Ahmed Chalabi. The interview relies entirely on Kellogg's assessment with no named Iranian sources, independent data graphics, or opposing experts. It presents an optimistic throughline that Trump cannot be outlasted ahead of U.S. midterms and that Iran must soon concede, particularly on enriched uranium.

Video: Fox Business critiques Newsom's UN clean energy claims amid high California prices

Fox Business critiques Newsom's UN clean energy claims amid high California prices

Sep 26, 2026

The Fox Business segment reviews California Governor Gavin Newsom's United Nations speech touting the state's clean energy achievements, claiming it runs on two-thirds clean energy daily without sacrificing economic growth and calling for ending Trump's presidency. Hosts Dagen McDowell and Brian Brenberg, joined by Daniel Turner of Power of the Future, dispute this as detached from reality, citing high electricity and fuel prices, business and population flight, refinery closures, and declining oil production as evidence of policy failure. The discussion extends to criticism of Bill Gates on AI risks, but centers on California's energy 'success story' as misleading. Sourcing is primarily Turner's analysis and general data references, with no opposing experts; graphics on prices are implied but not detailed.

Video: Seth Center urges testing China's AI safety cooperation ahead of Trump-Xi talks

Seth Center urges testing China's AI safety cooperation ahead of Trump-Xi talks

Sep 23, 2026

The segment discusses upcoming talks between President Trump and Xi Jinping, focusing on a proposed US-China AI 'hotline' or notification mechanism for national-security incidents. Host Brian and Dagen introduce the topic by noting US AI leadership and Trump's commitment to not hindering growth, then interview former State Department official Seth Center, who expresses skepticism about comprehensive cooperation. Center argues for testing China's willingness on narrow AI safety issues like cybersecurity and biosecurity benchmarks while warning of propaganda efforts to exacerbate US domestic debates over data centers. The conversation touches on unrealistic expectations for treaties, Chinese open-weight models as a potential threat, and the value of baseline discussions. Sourcing relies on Center's firsthand experience from prior dialogues and his recent op-ed, with references to Treasury Secretary Bessent's push for transparency. No anonymous sources or graphics; the throughline is pragmatic caution—engage to test sincerity but prioritize domestic safeguards and verification over broad agreements.

Video: Retired Navy SEAL calls Houthi Red Sea gains pyrrhic victory for Iran-backed group

Retired Navy SEAL calls Houthi Red Sea gains pyrrhic victory for Iran-backed group

Sep 19, 2026

The short Fox Business segment features retired Navy SEAL Mike Sarraille responding to questions on why Saudi Arabia and the US have not eliminated the Houthis. Sarraille explains Saudi restraint, notes their request for US support which President Trump has not granted, and attributes Houthi actions to Iranian cash, material, and operational aid. He argues Iranian escalation reflects economic pain and an attempt to widen the conflict map, framing recent Houthi territorial wins as a 'pyrrhic victory' because their sustainability depends on a weakening Iran that is ultimately losing a war of endurance. Sourcing relies on the guest’s military perspective with no named primary documents or on-screen graphics; the host (Larry Kudlow) prompts the analysis. The throughline is that short-term Houthi battlefield success masks long-term vulnerability tied to Iran’s troubles.

Video: Farage warns of national security crisis from UK Channel migrant crossings

Farage warns of national security crisis from UK Channel migrant crossings

Sep 5, 2026

The Fox Business interview with Nigel Farage focused on Britain's 'dreadful migration problem,' highlighting a single-day crossing of 500 migrants last week, annual costs in the billions, rises in sexual assaults linked to arrivals from countries with poor women's rights, and Iranian use of the Channel to smuggle operatives. Farage criticized successive UK governments for lacking courage on legal frameworks, contrasted this with Trump's border closure and Australia's 2012 boat stoppage, and attributed Reform UK's polling strength to its stance on stopping the 'scandal.' The segment also touched on UK economic policy under new leadership but centered on migration as a national security crisis. Sourcing relied on Farage's assertions with limited on-air data or named experts beyond the host; no counterpoints from government officials or migration researchers were presented. Graphics were not referenced. The throughline was persistent policy failure across parties and the need for decisive action akin to right-leaning international examples.

Yeltsin’s 1989 Houston Supermarket Visit Shaped Anti-Communist Views

Sep 5, 2026

The short segment recounts Boris Yeltsin’s unscheduled 1989 stop at a Randall’s supermarket in suburban Houston after touring Johnson Space Center. The host describes Yeltsin’s astonishment at full shelves and variety, quotes his later reflection that it broke his heart for Soviet citizens enduring bread lines and scarcity, and uses the story to illustrate benefits of competition in free markets. It acknowledges subsidies and imperfections but argues consumers benefit from companies vying for attention with better or niche products. The host then pivots to question New York Mayor Eric Adams’ reported plan for government-run grocery stores.
