Bret Baier's All-Star Panel

Last Saturday the United States launched airstrikes on three key Iranian nuclear facilities. While many Americans feared the country was on the brink of full-scale war, many were surprised when the President announced Monday on Truth Social that a "Complete and Total CEASEFIRE" had been reached. Moments after this announcement, Bret sat down with Vice President JD Vance for an exclusive interview — where the Vice President reacted live to the ceasefire agreement, shared how successful he believed the strikes were, and explained why he supported America's attack on Iran despite long-standing hesitation about getting directly involved in the past.

On Saturday, the U.S. launched a successful strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, dealing a major blow to its nuclear program and hampering its ability to escalate regional conflict. Meanwhile, President Trump arrived at the NATO summit in the Netherlands today amid uncertainty over a possible ceasefire between Israel and Iran. The strike has triggered swift political reactions in Washington, with sharp divisions emerging along party lines. Today, Anchor of ‘The Story' Martha MacCallum, FOX News Senior White House Correspondent Peter Doocy, and CEO of Schoen Cooperman Research Carly Cooperman break down the political fallout, the Big Beautiful Bill, and the latest on U.S. tariff negotiations.

Tensions between Israel and Iran have simmered for decades, fueled by Iran's opposition to Israel's existence, Tehran's funding of militant proxy groups, and their quickly developing nuclear program. In an exclusive interview, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joins Bret to explain why he believes Israel's mission to eliminate Iran's nuclear and missile capabilities is a matter of national survival—and far more justified than Iran's civilian-targeted attacks.Later, Netanyahu weighs in on whether Israel can reach Iran's clandestine and fortified nuclear sites.

After years of fighting through proxies, Iran and Israel are now exchanging direct military strikes—a dramatic escalation that's unfolded over just the past five days. As tensions rise by the hour, President Trump is demanding Iran's “unconditional surrender,” telling reporters he isn't interested in a ceasefire but in bringing a “real end” to the conflict. USA TODAY White House Correspondent Francesca Chambers, host of ‘The Big Ben Show' Ben Domenech, and FOX News Senior Political Analyst Juan Williams break down what could happen next—especially if Iran chooses to escalate further.

As President Trump calls on American companies to ramp up domestic production and reduce reliance on countries like China, many lawmakers are welcoming the push — seeing it as an alignment with priorities they've been working on for years. Today, Bret revisits his conversation with Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Congressman Mike Waltz (R-FL), who have been leading the charge to bring shipbuilding back to America. They discuss how public-private partnerships and strategic incentives can jumpstart the industry, the critical role naval power plays on the global stage, and why investing in shipbuilding is not just an economic boost — but a matter of national security.  Follow Bret on X: @BretBaier Learn more about your ad choices.

Before President Trump and Elon Musk publicly cut ties last week, they were closely working together to identify government waste. The President even tapped Musk to lead the charge, appointing him as head of the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency. Months later,  Musk is now saying President Trump's "one big, beautiful bill," is undermining the work his team set out to do in the first place. Bret revisits his conversation with Elon Musk and the DOGE team from earlier this year, to take a look at what their initial goals and visions were, and how that compares with the work they've been able to do since.  Follow Bret on X: @BretBaier Learn more about your ad choices.

The FBI has faced growing calls for greater transparency and accountability—something new FBI Director Kash Patel pledged to prioritize when he first stepped into the role. Bret had the opportunity to travel to Quantico, Virginia, for a one-on-one conversation with Director Patel on his plans for the bureau. Speaking from FBI headquarters, Director Patel tells Bret why he believes the bureau has taken a positive turn since President Trump returned to office—a shift he says is evident in the surge of FBI applications they're receiving, which have more than doubled from 2,500 to 5,700 per month over the past year. He also outlines the bureau's efforts to tackle major challenges, including the fentanyl crisis and rising threats from China. Follow Bret on X: @BretBaier Learn more about your ad choices.

The Senate returned to Capitol Hill on Monday with a new mission at the top of their agenda: uniting behind President Trump's "one big, beautiful bill." It took Congress weeks to narrowly agree on the legislation, passing it with a thin 215-214 vote. Many Senate Republicans have been vocal that they will not support the bill as it currently stands. So, what will the major sticking points be for the Senate GOP? Will the modifications they make to the bill lead to it being sent back to the House? Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) breaks down the Senate's main concerns with the bill, the challenges that come with navigating the Senate's budget reconciliation rules, and why he remains confidently optimistic that the Senate will pass a bill that aligns with President Trump's priorities.

Coming out of Memorial Day Weekend, Americans across the country are reminded of just how many men and women have valiantly sacrificed their lives for the nation. In the eyes of Congressman Jake Ellzey (R-TX) and Congressman Don Davis (D-NC), the two veterans who co-chair the Four Country Caucus, the least we can do is ensure their families, and the veterans who return from war are taken care of. Today, Rep. Ellzey and Rep. Davis share how they've worked across the aisle on efforts to support veterans through meaningful legislation—efforts that have contributed to a record-low rate of veteran homelessness in the United States.

Just last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Trump were reportedly having a cordial two-hour phone call, while House Republicans were locked in a high-stakes standoff over what was being called a "big, beautiful bill." Fast forward to this week, and the political landscape has shifted: President Trump took to Truth Social to proclaim that President Putin has "gone absolutely crazy" following a blitz attack in Ukraine and House Speaker Mike Johnson is taking a victory lap after successfully rallying Republicans behind a sweeping piece of legislation. To unpack how these developments unfolded so rapidly, South & Hill Strategies co-founder Colin Reed, former State Department Spokeswoman Marie Harf, and FOX News Radio Washington D.C.

Since reports emerged that Chinese President Xi Jinping allegedly directed the People's Liberation Army to prepare for an invasion of Taiwan by 2027, the United States has ramped up efforts to ensure Taiwan has the resources and support it needs to defend itself. On Capitol Hill, Senators Pete Ricketts (R-NE) and Chris Coons (D-DE), both members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, are leading that charge with The PORCUPINE Act, a bill designed to streamline arms sales to Taiwan and bolster its defensive capabilities. Sen. Coons and Sen. Ricketts join Bret to discuss why arming Taiwan is one of the most effective steps the U.S. can take to deter aggression in the region. They also weigh in on former President Biden's recent diagnosis, and the U.S. decision to formally accept a jet from Qatar.

Since the start of his second term, President Trump has championed his vision for "One Big, Beautiful Bill" — a comprehensive piece of legislation that would include tax reforms, immigration enforcement, defense spending, while cutting what he describes as “waste, fraud and abuse” in social programs like Medicaid and SNAP. With just two days left before the initial deadline to get the bill to his desk, President Trump stepped up the pressure — paying Capitol Hill a visit on Tuesday morning to give House Republicans a "pep talk" in a last push for compromise before Memorial Day. Meanwhile, outside of Washington, Democrats in former President Biden's inner circle are continuing to reveal what they knew, or didn't know, about the former President's health and competency. However, talk about these narratives took a new turn over the weekend, after President Biden announced he's been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. To break it all down, FOX News Contributor Katie Pavlich, FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram, and former Biden-Harris campaign surrogate Kevin Walling join Bret on this week's All-Star Panel.

President Trump has expressed the demand for shipbuilding in the United States as a major priority, as most U.S. commercial ship production is in China. Will the United States be able to build up ship production quickly enough to run a modern economy, without being economically pigeonholed by our adversaries?  Senators Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Todd Young (R-ID) discuss how their bipartisan bill, the SHIPS for America Act, seeks to revitalize the U.S. Shipbuilding industry by establishing a maritime security advisor position in the white house.

Despite bipartisan claims that Democrats are "stranded in the wilderness" after President Trump's sweeping 2024 victory, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) have been vocal about their disagreement. Though Sen. Sanders blamed the Democrats' poor performance on the party's abandonment of the working class and defending the status quo, he and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez are assuring Americans they are not lost — a message they're touting on the 'Fighting Oligarchy' tour. Today, Sen. Sanders sits down with Bret to discuss why the tour is drawing large crowds, why he opposes cuts to healthcare and education, and his concerns with Trump's tariff policy. He also explains why he doesn't believe the Democrats' challenges stem from President Biden's delayed decision to exit the 2024 race. Follow Bret on X: @BretBaier Learn more about your ad choices.

To unpack these events, Bret sat down with Vice President JD Vance following a tour of Nucor Steel in South Carolina, where he was promoting President Trump's "Manufacturing Renaissance" agenda. Vice President Vance shared his perspective on Waltz's reassignment, framing it not as a demotion but as a strategic opportunity that allows him to serve in a new, impactful role.

The Trump Administration is receiving push back from Democrats for the deportation of a Maryland man they claim was wrongfully sent to an El Salvadoran prison. This case has garnered a lot of attention in Washington, as multiple courts and political jargon have added to the complexities of the case.

President Trump has rolled out 'reciprocal tariffs' on dozens of countries, leading to mixed reactions on Capitol Hill. Though many lawmakers agree that this move supports the production of goods in the United States and will balance select trade relationships, there are concerns that imposing tariffs on U.S. allies could cause more harm than good. As a result, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) and Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) are proposing a bipartisan joint resolution that blocks tariffs on Canada -- created primarily due to their belief that trade policy should be set by Congress, not emergency declarations.

April 2nd is "Liberation Day," a phrase President Trump gave to the day he plans to roll out 'reciprocal tariffs' on dozens of countries, as well as a 25% tariff on all auto imports.
