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.

Common Ground: Capitol Hill Divide Over Funding Our Allies

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.

All-Star Panel: Aid Bills Divide Congress & Escalation in the Middle East

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.

All-Star Panel: How Will Abortion Impact 2024?

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.
