Today, we answer a question from Robert, who lives in Seattle, WA. Robert asks, Last week we had another tragic school shooting in Minnesota. This madness just continues as lawmakers only offer thoughts and prayers. It seems obvious that the country is more interested in protecting guns than children. I guess my question to the panel is, is there anything we, the people, can do to stop these tragic shootings? Or are we as a country just incapable of solving this problem?

Today's question comes from Mark, who lives in Chicago, IL. Mark asks, A federal judge recently ruled that Trump and Hegseth violated federal law by using the US military to help carry out law enforcement activities in and around Los Angeles this summer. Yet the ruling only applies to California. Is this a good sign that Trump’s intentions to send troops to Chicago could be foiled? I think Trump has immunity for breaking federal law, according to the SCOTUS. But does Hegseth have the same immunity?

Today, we answer a question from Crystal, who lives in Rochester, MN. I serve as a medical services coordinator at a nonprofit clinic, where I work directly with individuals experiencing homelessness. From this work, I’ve seen firsthand that while housing is not a cure-all for every challenge people face, it provides the essential foundation for stability, health, employment, and recovery. In Rochester, local stakeholders are working diligently, but we continue to face roadblocks that prevent real progress. At the same time, President Trump’s rollbacks at the federal level risk undermining the strides communities have already made. My question is this: What should cities, especially wealthier ones with the resources to make meaningful change, be doing to move beyond stalled efforts and truly address the homelessness crisis in ways that are sustainable and equitable for the people who live in our communities?

Today, our question is from Christopher, who lives in Little Rock, AK. Christopher asks, Trump signed an EO to prosecute flag burning. This has sparked constitutional backlash even from Fox News analysts. Does the panel see this as overreach or just more political theater? Would a law banning flag burning stand judicial review?

Today, we answer a question from Michael, who lives in Salt Lake City, Utah. Michael asks This past week, the leaders of China, India, and Russia met at an economic forum. They appear to be creating a powerful anti-American alliance. Are the Trump policies opening the door for our enemies to form these alliances? Could the US stand up to such a powerful economic and military bloc?

Today, we answer another question from a listener. From Shelby, who lives in Baltimore, Maryland, Shelby asks, "Okay, let me first say that I voted for President Trump in 2024. Although after only a few short months, I am beginning to question that vote, I’m not sure Kamala Harris would have been any better." But I admit I’m beginning to get scared. Trump sent troops to LA and DC and is threatening to send troops to Chicago & NY. He has also mentioned sending troops to my city of Baltimore. He says it's all about immigration enforcement and crime prevention, but I’m beginning to doubt this narrative. There are competing ideas regarding the legality of sending National Guard troops into American cities. So, my first question is, do you think this is legal? Second, do you think this could escalate? Could this turn into states using military force against the federalized troops?

Today's question is from Krystal, who lives in Quebec, Canada, and Krystal asks, Iran seems to be stepping up their political prisoner executions, and the rest of the world has gone silent. What do you guys see as the international community’s accountability in protecting human rights? Should the rest of the world intervene?

Today we heard from Marcee, who lives in Pueblo, CO, and Marcee asks, former National Security Advisor Bolton’s home was raided by the FBI. Now, Trump is threatening to investigate Chris Christie. Now I’m not a fan of either, and I don’t think anyone on the podcast is either, but is this just Karma, or should we all begin to worry? Who do you all think might be next?
