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'. 
In the U.S., a new chapter in former President Donald Trump's trial is approaching -- after the prosecution and defense have both rested their cases without having the former President take the stand. To discuss this & more, FOX News White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, Democratic Pollster Carly Cooperman, and Republican Strategist Colin Reed join Bret for this week's All-Star Panel.

All-Star Panel: Reaching the Final Chapter in the Former President's Trial

Maryland residents are still grappling with the aftermath of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse -- as the vital structure provided a key trade route for companies across America, over 15,000 jobs, and a huge income source for Baltimore's economy. The incident caught the attention of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, and now bipartisan efforts are in place to ensure the bridge is rebuilt as soon as possible. 
Maryland Governor Wes Moore (D) and Congressman Andy Harris (R-MD), two men leading the charge on repair efforts, discuss how long they believe it will take before the Francis Scott Key Bridge is back operating, how much the cost of rebuilding may impact taxpayers, and how they're working to help those who lost jobs due to the incident.

All-Star Panel: 'Campaigning In Poems & Governing In Prose'

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.

One On One: Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman

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. Now, Americans are looking to see how President Biden will respond to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ignoring his instructions to avoid a ground invasion of Rafah. 
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.
