    All-Star Panel: Latest Epstein File Release Raises More Questions Than Answers
    Dec 23 2025
    America is known across the globe for its military might, but in terms of the number of ships in the United States Navy, it has been overtaken by China in recent years, who now holds the largest naval fleet in the world. This may not remain the case for long however, after President Trump announced on Monday that the military would begin construction on a new line of massive warships. Co-Founder of South & Hill Strategies, Colin Reed, CEO of Schoen Cooperman Research, Carly Cooperman, and FOX News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram discuss what President Trump’s announcement of a new line of warships means, the state of healthcare legislation on the hill, and whether last week’s lackluster Epstein file release could be considered Contempt of Congress.
