U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy has warned Americans that people who spend more than three hours a day on social media face double the risk of experiencing anxiety and depression symptoms. That's why many lawmakers are putting their political differences aside to unite on a more important agreement: we have to protect children from the harm social media can do.
Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) and Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) join Bret to discuss the story behind how they came together as parents to create the 'Stop the Scroll Act,' a new piece of bipartisan legislation that would create a mental health warning label requirement for social media platforms.

Last night, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris met for the first time on the ABC Presidential Debate stage. While former President Trump focused on the economy and border, calling out his opponent for not tackling issues while in the White House, Vice President Harris emphasized her stance on abortion and baited the former President – criticizing his rallies, bankruptcies, and other personal attributes. Now the questions remain: was there a debate 'winner,' and could there be a second debate?
FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram, 'Washington Examiner' Chief Political Correspondent Byron York, and Democratic Pollster Carly Cooperman join Bret to discuss stand-out debate moments, how much this could move the needle, and the likelihood of both candidates agreeing to another debate.

On this encore episode, Bret revisits a conversation with House
Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and Congresswoman
Katie Porter (D-CA) to discuss how they've come together to
introduce the Presidential Ethics Reform Act.
In recent years, Americans' trust in the government and
federal institutions has hit an all-time low -- a trend that many lawmakers are
worried is only going to worsen. That's why those in Congress are working
across the aisle to show the people of America they don't have to be wary when
it comes to putting their faith in government.

After weeks of speculation, Vice President Kamala Harris, who is now the Democratic Party's official presidential nominee, has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate. While this decision was met with enthusiastic support from prominent Democrats like former President Barack Obama, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and California Governor Gavin Newsom — many Republicans, on the other hand, said they were relieved by the choice after fearing Vice President Harris would choose someone like Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro or Arizona Senator Mark Kelly from key battleground states to shake up the race. So, with two presidential tickets in place, what happens now?
To discuss what's happening in politics and overseas, Bret is joined by former Senior Counselor to President Trump, Kellyanne Conway, FOX News Senior Correspondent Benjamin Hall, and co-host of 'The Five' and Democratic strategist Jessica Tarlov on this week's All-Star Panel.
