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.

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.

Pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protests continue to cause chaos on college campuses, highlighting a deepening rift among Democrats. As Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu states he plans to invade Rafah regardless of whether a ceasefire-deal is reached, could this move add fuel to the fire for protestors? And how can President Biden continue walking the line between backing allies in Israel and keeping the support of pro-Palestinian Democrats?
Bret is joined by anchor and executive editor of 'The Story' and host of The Untold Story podcast, Martha MacCallum, host of Fox Business' Making Money and The Unstoppable Prosperity Podcast, Charles Payne, and Fox News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram to discuss how what we're seeing in the U.S. reflects past events in America, and what it can mean for our nation’s future.
