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.

A helicopter crash over the weekend has launched tensions in the Middle East to new heights, following news that the incident killed the Iranian President and Foreign Minister. Additionally, overseas, the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court claims he's seeking arrest warrants for both Israeli and Hamas leaders due to their committing 'war crimes and crimes against humanity'.

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) has long been viewed as a standout member of his party -- from his uniform of hoodies and shorts to the casual way he speaks to constituents. However, since the Israel-Hamas War began, Senator Fetterman has set himself even further apart, becoming one of few Democrats expressing full support of Israel actions to defend themselves and defeat Hamas.
In this exclusive interview, Senator Fetterman joins to discuss his thoughts on the pro-Palestinian protests breaking out on college campuses across the U.S., why he stands behind Israel going into Rafah despite President Biden’s opposition, and how Pennsylvanians are feeling about a presidential rematch between President Biden and former President Trump.

It's been a week of whiplash overseas after Hamas announced Monday they would be accepting an Egyptian-Qatari mediated ceasefire proposal. However, Israel denied any news of a ceasefire and forces seized the vital Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Southern Gaza.

FOX News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy, 'Washington Examiner' Chief Political Correspondent Byron York, and former Biden Campaign Surrogate Kevin Walling discuss how the developments in the Israel-Hamas War impact both allies overseas and the U.S. and why President Biden's attempt to please Democrats on different sides of the war is impacting voters' perception.

Pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protests continue to cause chaos on college campuses, highlighting a deepening rift among Democrats.

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.

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.

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.
