The Bret Baier Podcast

After countless Americans contracted cancer and serious illnesses following efforts to build the atomic bomb, the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act was born in 1990 -- providing payments for those impacted by toxic chemicals. Flash forward to now, and lawmakers are pushing to renew and expand on the act, as growing evidence suggests that many towns beyond the test sites have suffered consequences from the atomic bomb for decades. Bret sits down with lawmakers and Americans whose lives continue to be impacted by the Manhattan Project -- despite six decades having passed since the program's conclusion.

Though the Israel-Hamas War has been raging since Hamas' attack on October 7th, there's been a simultaneous surge of pro-Palestinian protests at major universities nationwide in the past week -- with many signs pointing to the demonstrations being connected. As hundreds of college students from top universities like Columbia, Yale, and N.Y.U face arrest at these protests, many Americans wonder what university leadership and President Biden will do to address this behavior. To discuss this and more, Bret is joined by Fox News Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram, host of 'The Ben Domenech Podcast,' Ben Domenech, and Fox News Political Analyst Juan Williams.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has unveiled plans to pass foreign aid bills in the House -- with votes on bills funding Israel, Ukraine, and the Indo-Pacific set to take place over the weekend. However, with a growing divide in Congress over how the U.S. should move forward to support allies overseas, will the bills garner enough support to move forward? Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS) & Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) discuss the importance of the Iranian attack in the Middle East, why they both support passing foreign aid bills despite being on opposite sides of the aisle, and why our next steps will impact how other countries view America on the world stage.

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.

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.

On a fiercely divided Capitol Hill, there are few things Republicans and Democrats stand closely together on -- but one fight that remains largely bipartisan is the battle against the nation’s drug crisis. With substances like fentanyl and xylazine, known as 'tranq,' claiming the lives of countless young people, there’s immense effort on both sides of the aisle to get these drugs off the streets. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) are putting their heads together in hopes of doing that. Sen. Kaine & Sen. Cruz join Bret to discuss how their bipartisan bill, the 'STOP TRANQ Act,' works to address this crisis, especially with lifesaving medications like Narcan being ineffective on substances like xylazine.
