The Release of the Hostages
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss the release of the hostages from Gaza, President Trump’s address to the Knesset, and the global summit on the future of Gaza held in Egypt today. Then, they talk about Vice President JD Vance’s appearance on "ABC This Week with George Stephanopoulos," where they clashed over questions about Tom Homan and $50,000 in cash that he allegedly took from undercover FBI agents. They also discuss Virginia gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger’s response to questions about trans athletes in women’s locker rooms, and whether that issue will cost her in this November’s election. And, they chat about a House GOP proposal to withhold funds to jurisdictions that celebrate indigenous people’s day instead of Columbus Day, and NY Mayor Eric Adams’ plan to designate two statues of Christopher Columbus as historic monuments in order to keep Zohran Mamdani, if elected, from removing them. Finally, RealClear Defense Editor David Craig joins the guys to discuss the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy and the role of naval power in future conflicts.
