Today our question is from Stewart, who lives in Sioux City, Iowa, and Stuart writes I listened to the address President Trump and Secretary Hegseth gave to the military leadership the other day, and I couldn’t believe my ears. I am a 26-year veteran of the United States Marine Corps, and I’ve never heard a President address our leadership with such disregard. Trump even suggested that American Cities should be “training grounds” for the military. With Hegseth detailing new directives slamming diversity and bashing what he called "stupid rules of engagement." Hegseth also said combat troops will have to meet the "highest male standard," and if that means there are no women in combat roles, "it is what it is." President Trump followed Hegseth, telling America's military brass that "we're under an invasion from within". As a veteran, I am angry that these two men would even think to speak to our military leadership in such a way. I’m pretty sure that someone, if not all on the panel, watched or listened to the addresses. What are the panels' takes on this conference?

Today, our detailed question is from Ashleigh, who lives in Bangor, Maine. Ashleigh says, from what I understand of the proposed truce between Gaza and Israel, I’m not sure Hamas will be on board. Here is what I understand, and I’d like the panels to take.

Immediate Ceasefire

All military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardments, would be suspended.

Hostage and Prisoner Exchange within 72 hours of Israel’s acceptance:

All hostages (alive and deceased) held in Gaza would be returned.

Israel would release 250 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences and 1,700 Gazans detained since October 2023. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are returned, Israel would release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans.

Hamas Disarmament and Amnesty

Hamas members who commit to peaceful coexistence and decommission their weapons would be granted amnesty. Those wishing to leave Gaza would be offered safe passage to receiving countries.

Humanitarian Aid and Reconstruction

Aid would surge into Gaza at levels matching the January 2025 hostage deal (600 trucks/day). Infrastructure rehabilitation includes water, electricity, sewage, hospitals, bakeries, and rubble removal. Aid distribution would be managed by the UN, the Red Crescent, and neutral international organizations.

Governance and Oversight

Gaza would be governed by a temporary technocratic Palestinian committee, excluding Hamas. Oversight would be provided by an international body called the “Board of Peace,” chaired by President Trump and potentially including figures like Tony Blair.

6. Security and Long-Term Vision

An international stabilization force, led by Arab partners, would take over security. The plan gestures toward eventual Palestinian statehood, though details remain vague.

Fallback Clause

If Hamas rejects the deal, Israel would retain full backing to continue military operations and clear Hamas-controlled areas.

As I understand it Israel has already agreed to this plan.

Today we have some fun as our question comes from Angelo, who lives in the Bronx, NY, and Angelo writes, “Meet the Mets, beat the Mets, everybody come out and watch the Mets collapse.” As you might have noticed, I’m a Yankee fan. But I wanted to know from the panels 2 Met fans how you feel about the epic collapse. Who should be blamed? Who should go and who should stay? Alonzo has already opted out. Should they try to resign him? I’d love to hear what Scott and Mark, if they were the Mets GM, would do to make their astronomical payroll worth it in 2026.

Today, our question is from Sean, who lives in Bethpage, NY. Sean asks, It looked like half the UN delegates walked out in protest of Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the UN. What do you see as the consequences for Israel? Is this a sign that the rest of the world has abandoned the Israeli state? Many countries have come out recognizing the Palestinian state. Should the people of Israel be concerned?

Today, our question comes from Stephen, who lives in Detroit, MI. Stephen asks, Trump’s rambling speech at the UN was a national embarrassment. He basically called out every other country as a disaster. He did nothing but complain about open borders, teleprompters, and Biden. What do you all think will be the global fallout from this disastrous speech? And, Trump said NATO should give Ukraine what it needs to defeat Russia. Do you think he meant it? Finally, Poland has warned Russia about invading their airspace. They promise to take action and shoot down anything flying over their country unauthorized. Are they serious? Could this be a prelude to a larger conflict?

Today, our question is from Laura, who lives in Birmingham. Laura writes, 'Finally, we have someone at the Department of Health looking out for our children.' I always knew Tylenol was dangerous, and SCIENCE has now shown it’s linked to autism. This is a positive from a conservative administration. Now, I’m sure y’all will complain about this, but why can’t you support health policies that positively impact our children?

Today, our question comes from John, who lives in Broad River, WY. John asks, 'You talked about political satire and the need for late-night comedians in our social discourse.' Well, how did that work out for Jimmy Kimmel? It’s about time we, the people, took the political discussion back from these talking heads on late-night shows, who only want to promote leftist ideas. They should all be cancelled and replaced with more positive American programming.
