Since reports emerged that Chinese President Xi Jinping allegedly directed the People’s Liberation Army to prepare for an invasion of Taiwan by 2027, the United States has ramped up efforts to ensure Taiwan has the resources and support it needs to defend itself. On Capitol Hill, Senators Pete Ricketts (R-NE) and Chris Coons (D-DE), both members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, are leading that charge with The PORCUPINE Act, a bill designed to streamline arms sales to Taiwan and bolster its defensive capabilities.
Sen. Coons and Sen. Ricketts join Bret to discuss why arming Taiwan is one of the most effective steps the U.S. can take to deter aggression in the region. They also weigh in on former President Biden's recent diagnosis, and the U.S. decision to formally accept a jet from Qatar.

Since the start of his second term, President Trump has championed his vision for "One Big, Beautiful Bill" — a comprehensive piece of legislation that would include tax reforms, immigration enforcement, defense spending, while cutting what he describes as “waste, fraud and abuse” in social programs like Medicaid and SNAP. With just two days left before the initial deadline to get the bill to his desk, President Trump stepped up the pressure — paying Capitol Hill a visit on Tuesday morning to give House Republicans a "pep talk" in a last push for compromise before Memorial Day.
Meanwhile, outside of Washington, Democrats in former President Biden's inner circle are continuing to reveal what they knew, or didn't know, about the former President's health and competency. However, talk about these narratives took a new turn over the weekend, after President Biden announced he's been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer.
To break it all down, FOX News Contributor Katie Pavlich, FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram, and former Biden-Harris campaign surrogate Kevin Walling join Bret on this week's All-Star Panel.

President Trump has expressed the demand for shipbuilding in the United States as a major priority, as most U.S. commercial ship production is in China. Will the United States be able to build up ship production quickly enough to run a modern economy, without being economically pigeonholed by our adversaries?
Senators Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Todd Young (R-ID) discuss how their bipartisan bill, the SHIPS for America Act, seeks to revitalize the U.S. Shipbuilding industry by establishing a maritime security advisor position in the white house. The Senators explain the importance of this legislation, noting that the U.S. has become overly reliant on China for commercial ship production, posing a national security risk.

Despite bipartisan claims that Democrats are "stranded in the wilderness" after President Trump's sweeping 2024 victory, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) have been vocal about their disagreement. Though Sen. Sanders blamed the Democrats' poor performance on the party's abandonment of the working class and defending the status quo, he and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez are assuring Americans they are not lost — a message they're touting on the 'Fighting Oligarchy' tour.
Today, Sen. Sanders sits down with Bret to discuss why the tour is drawing large crowds, why he opposes cuts to healthcare and education, and his concerns with Trump’s tariff policy. He also explains why he doesn’t believe the Democrats' challenges stem from President Biden’s delayed decision to exit the 2024 race.

He also addressed the latest U.S. military operations targeting Houthi forces in Yemen—an issue tied to the recent Signal chat leak—provided updates on the administration’s trade negotiations, and emphasized the President’s renewed push to restore American manufacturing.

The Trump Administration is receiving push back from Democrats for the deportation of a Maryland man they claim was wrongfully sent to an El Salvadoran prison. This case has garnered a lot of attention in Washington, as multiple courts and political jargon have added to the complexities of the case.

Alongside this matter, there is a concern on Capital Hill that President Trump’s global tariffs may affect the economy dramatically, as well as political careers following midterms.
Meanwhile, NVIDIA has agreed to invest $500 billion in the United States over the next four years, marking a major win for the Trump economic agenda and the AI race against China.

President Trump has rolled out 'reciprocal tariffs' on dozens of countries, leading to mixed reactions on Capitol Hill. Though many lawmakers agree that this move supports the production of goods in the United States and will balance select trade relationships, there are concerns that imposing tariffs on U.S. allies could cause more harm than good.
As a result, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) and Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) are proposing a bipartisan joint resolution that blocks tariffs on Canada -- created primarily due to their belief that trade policy should be set by Congress, not emergency declarations. They also discuss their thoughts on the President's tariff plan as a whole, and the economic impacts they could have.

April 2nd is "Liberation Day," a phrase President Trump gave to the day he plans to roll out 'reciprocal tariffs' on dozens of countries, as well as a 25% tariff on all auto imports. The president remains confident that this move will reshape trade relationships and incentivize corporations to operate within the U.S. -- two productive measures he believes will far outweigh any temporary price increases Americans may see.
To discuss this, record low numbers at the southern border, and special elections in Wisconsin and Florida, Bret speaks with FOX News Senior White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, Co-founder of South & Hill Strategies Colin Reed, and FOX News Political Analyst Juan Williams on this week's All-Star Panel.
