The Bret Baier Podcast Fox News

Following the assassination attempt on former President Trump's life, Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill immediately got to work investigating the Secret Service's failures on that nearly fatal Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania. After Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle was unable to answer many of Congress' tough questions during a House Oversight Committee hearing earlier this week, she ultimately resigned — but what more can be done to ensure the Secret Service, local law enforcement, and other federal agencies can prevent something like this from happening again in the future?

Leaders of the House Oversight Committee, Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Congressman James Comer (R-KY) discuss how they're working across the aisle to instill corrective measures in agencies like the Secret Service and ensure the safety of all presidential candidates in the future.

In recent months, Americans have witnessed a former President face criminal conviction, talks of an incumbent presidential nominee stepping down, and most recently a horrific assassination attempt on former President Trump that was nearly a success. Amidst the chaos, where do voters stand? And do they see a light at the end of the tunnel that is America's uncertain political future?
 
Bret sits down with three Wisconsin voters, Jessie Cannizzaro, Richard Gagliano, and Sarah Grooms, who he spoke with shortly before the first Republican presidential debate in August of 2023, to see where their heads are at now after all that's happened since, and what issues are currently at the front of their minds.

The Republican National Convention continues in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the midst of a very somber time for the country. Former President Trump was well received by the crowd in his first appearance in the public eye following the assassination attempt against him. Americans also got news many had been waiting months for: Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), who used to be a major critic of the former President and has since turned the tide to fiercely supporting him, has been chosen to stand beside former President Trump as the vice presidential nominee.

As the RNC carries on and speculation on whether President Biden will step down continues, Bret is joined by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, co-host of 'The Five' and Democratic strategist Jessica Tarlov, and FOX News Radio Political Analyst Josh Kraushaar to break it all down.

In the face of immense polarization, a record level of Americans are grappling with depression and anxiety – navigating life in a country they don't believe in regardless of their political stance. Luckily, there are people on Capitol Hill determined to put a stop to this.

Governor Spencer Cox (R-UT) and Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) join Bret to explain how their new initiative, 'Restoring the Common Good,' aims to address growing social and political dissatisfaction in the United States, the role they believe social media has played in society's declining mental health, and how they believe their efforts can create dialogue that addresses the growing distrust of the government.

There are growing calls within the Democratic Party for President Biden to step down, with seven House Democrats directly calling on the President to give up the nomination. However, President Biden is saying he plans on being his party's nominee despite the divided opinions Americans have about his competency.

To discuss all this and more, Bret is joined by Washington Bureau Chief of USA Today Susan Page, FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram, and former State Department Spokesperson & founder of POLARIS National Security Morgan Ortagus.
