The Bret Baier Podcast Fox News

Israel is weighing what their response will be to a brazen attack from Iran over the weekend -- where over 300 missiles and drones were launched toward the country. Though President Biden remains steadfast in his loyalty to Israel, he continues to dissuade Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from committing any acts that could dangerously escalate tensions in the Middle East. 
Meanwhile, here at home, former President Donald Trump's historic criminal trial begins in New York City and new aid bills pass on Capitol Hill that have Congress further divided.
To discuss all of this and more, Bret is joined by Wall Street Editorial Board Member Bill McGurn, FOX News Radio Political Analyst Josh Kraushaar, and Democratic Strategist Leslie Marshall on this episode of Bret Baier's All-Star Panel.

Earlier this week, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin told lawmakers why a $60 billion supplemental funding request to support Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan is an essential U.S. investment -- but with divided support on Ukraine aid, will it survive? And where do Democrats and Republicans stand on this issue and America's defense spending as a whole?
Bret is joined by Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) and Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) to discuss how passing this supplemental would be a step toward prioritizing our nation's defense, why there should be nothing bipartisan about ensuring our nation is secure, and the ways this money would benefit the U.S. directly as opposed to just our allies.

The week began with both President Biden and former President Trump making announcements pertaining to two important issues to voters: abortion & student loan forgiveness.
Bret is joined by Republican Strategist Colin Reed, Fox News Audio Political Anchor Jared Halpern, and Democratic Pollster Carly Cooperman to discuss how Americans responded to political headlines this week, what items are at the top of the agenda for Congress as they head back into session, and their thoughts on the Biden Administration's shifting stance on the Israel-Hamas War.

President Biden has stated his goal is to have 50% percent of all new vehicle sales be electric by 2030 -- but with electric vehicles making up less than 20% of overall car sales in 2024, how will Americans react to this push toward hybrids and EVs? And if a considerable number of Americans do go electric, how could that impact America's auto industry and the countless people employed by traditional car manufacturers?
Bret is joined by Congressman John James (R-MI) and Congressman Don Davis (D-NC) to discuss their thoughts on President Biden's ambitious goal, how their constituents feel about the emergence of electric vehicles, and the potential pros and cons of creating a society primarily dependent on hybrids and EVs.

Another active week has begun both overseas and at home in the U.S. -- as a new threat of Iranian escalation in the Israel-Hamas War could be on the horizon after an Israeli airstrike killed two Iranian generals, a Ukraine foreign aid fight amongst House Republicans continues in Washington, and President Biden sets off to Baltimore in the aftermath of the colossal Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. 
To break down a week full of complex topics, Bret is joined by former State Department Spokesperson & founder of POLARIS National Security Morgan Ortagus, Politico Congressional Reporter Olivia Beavers, and FOX News Political Analyst Juan Williams.

As lawmakers on Capitol Hill continue going back and forth over the best ways to fund the government and deal with the country's national debt, the question remains as to how Republicans and Democrats will eventually come together to productively address the issue. Bret revisits a conversation with Democratic West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, where they discussed the status of the debt crisis last year, and how Manchin believes Republicans and Democrats can come together to strike a deal on the debt limit.
