The Bret Baier Podcast Fox News

The West Point class of 2004 had the highest killed-in-action rate of any West Point class since Vietnam -- with three graduates losing their lives to suicide after returning from war. This is a big reason why Congressman Pat Ryan (D-NY) and Congressman John James (R-MI), two members of that West Point class, are committed to using their power in the House to ensure veterans are honored and cared for the way they deserve.

With the 80th anniversary of D-Day passing last week, Congressman James & Congressman Ryan discuss what honoring this anniversary means for them, how their bond at West Point has stayed strong despite them being on opposite sides of the aisle, and the ways their new legislation, the Veterans Entry to Apprenticeship Act, support veterans after returning from war.

According to the Society for the Study of Addiction, more Americans are using marijuana than drinking alcohol daily, marking the first time cannabis has outpaced alcohol in the U.S. One particular demographic showing a vast increase in marijuana use is seniors over the age of 65, who are using medical marijuana for pain relief. With federal hurdles preventing a great deal of seniors from accessing medical marijuana, could this growth in popularity lead to federal changes surrounding the drug?
Bret hears from medical marijuana users and officials like Robert Kent, who worked in the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, to discuss the potential reclassification of marijuana from a Schedule I substance to a Schedule III substance and how increasing medical cannabis use could help fight the opioid crisis.

When nearly 73,000 U.S. troops landed in Normandy on June 6th, 1944, there was no way to prepare for the gruesome battle that would ensue. On that day 80 years ago, more than 2,500 soldiers were killed or went missing in action -- with hundreds being left unidentified. Fortunately, new DNA technology is giving the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency the power to change that.
Director of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency Kelly McKeague sits down to discuss how new DNA matching technology has allowed the agency to positively identify at least seven soldiers who lost their lives on D-Day and what these discoveries mean to families.

Does the fact that Justice Loren Merchan, the judge in former President Trump's hush money trial, made financial contributions to President Biden's campaign in 2020 impact his ability to be impartial?

In recent years, Americans' trust in the government and federal institutions has hit an all-time low -- a trend that many lawmakers are worried is only going to worsen.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and Congresswoman Katie Porter (D-CA) discuss how they've come together to introduce the Presidential Ethics Reform Act, in order to address this concern head on.

Following closing arguments in former President Donald Trump's hush money trial, Americans could hear a verdict in the high-profile case within the week. Yet, despite the fact it's coming to a close, the Biden Administration seems to be taking a sudden interest in it -- sending two Capitol Police officers and actor Robert De Niro to the courthouse to deliver a news conference condemning the former President. 
Wall Street Editorial Board Member Bill McGurn, FOX News Radio Political Analyst Josh Kraushaar, and FOX News Political Analyst Juan Williams discuss their thoughts on the trial as it wraps up, what political impact the verdict could have, and recent polls that have President Biden trailing former President Trump despite his legal battles.
