The Fox News Rundown

Good news this week as mortgage rates fell again, hitting their lowest level in more than three years. According to Freddie Mac, the average rate on the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage decreased to 6.06%, down from last week’s reading of 6.16%. While there appears to be progress in the housing market, President Trump has made it clear that his administration is working to provide direct relief to homebuyers. Part of that plan involves directing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to purchase $200 billion in mortgage-backed securities to further drive down borrowing costs. The President is also working to ban large institutional investors from buying single-family homes—and to allow potential buyers to use their 401 (k) funds for down payments. Jessica Lautz, who is the Deputy Chief Economist and Vice President of Research At The National Association of Realtors, joins the FOX Business Network’s Gerri Willis to discuss the state of the housing market, some of the President's ideas, and what can be done to make the American dream more affordable.

Iranian security forces have escalated from pellet guns to live ammunition during the ongoing protests across the country, drastically increasing deaths that could be as high as over 10-thousand casualties. The situation for protesters seemed to shift after authorities imposed internet blackouts and cut off communication outside of the country.

FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Khosro Isfahani, Senior Research Analyst at the National Union for Democracy in Iran (NUFDI), who says the fall of this regime is just a matter of time, and explains why the exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi receives so much support.
