Is a new conflict brewing in South America?

In this week's David Hunter Perspective, retired U.S. diplomat David Hunter joins Rhett Palmer to unpack four pressing global developments. First, the pair examine the release of the final Israeli hostages held by Hamas—celebrating their freedom but questioning how such a tragedy occurred in the first place. Then, they revisit Donald Trump's 2020 “Peace to Prosperity” plan for Gaza and explore whether his latest 2025 proposal offers anything truly new for Middle East peace.Next, the conversation turns to cutting-edge warfare as the U.S. Army debuts its first laser anti-drone system, the truck-mounted LOCUST. Does this mark a revolutionary leap in battlefield defense? Finally, David Hunter analyzes growing U.S. military posturing toward Venezuela, where accusations of narco-terrorism and troop deployments raise the question: is America preparing for another foreign intervention?It's a powerful, thought-provoking episode offering deep insights into diplomacy, defense, and America's role on the world stage.

On today's episode of The Rhett Palmer Show, we dove headfirst into some of the biggest questions shaping our world. From Trump's bold Middle East peace proposal to a pivotal election in Eastern Europe, and finally, whether the United Nations is still fit for purpose, the conversations were anything but ordinary.The show kicked off with a high-stakes topic: Can Donald Trump actually broker peace in the ongoing Gaza-Israel war? During a dramatic White House summit this week, Trump reportedly pushed Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to accept a detailed 20-point peace plan—one that includes a phased Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, Hamas disarming, and Arab states taking the lead in post-war governance. But would Hamas ever accept such terms? And what would it mean for regional stability if they did?Next, Rhett turned our attention to Moldova, a small nation with big geopolitical implications. In a significant political shift, Moldova's pro-European Party for Action and Solidarity won a majority, signaling a strong move away from Russian influence. With war raging just across the border in Ukraine, what does this election result mean for Eastern Europe, and could Moldova be the next battleground in the tug-of-war between East and West?Finally, the show took on a big-picture question: Has the United Nations outlived its usefulness? At 80 years old, the UN is seen by many as bloated and bureaucratic. While its Security Council remains powerful, it's often gridlocked. As global crises escalate—from wars to climate emergencies—is it time for a new kind of global cooperation, or can the UN still rise to meet today's challenges? Support the show

On today's edition of The Rhett Palmer Show, Congressman Mike Haridopolos joined host Rhett Palmer for a compelling and wide-ranging conversation that touched on critical national issues. The former Florida Senate President and current U.S. Representative shared candid insights into the evolving threat of domestic terrorism, the state of America's military culture, and the latest developments from Capitol Hill.Haridopolos opened the interview by addressing concerns over rising domestic threats, emphasizing the need for stronger internal security measures and bipartisan cooperation. “Terrorism is no longer just a foreign threat,” he warned. “We need to take a hard look at how we're protecting our communities from radicalization here at home.”The conversation turned to Pete Hegseth's recent comments on the military, in which the Fox News host criticized what he sees as growing politicization and weakening of traditional military values. Congressman Haridopolos echoed some of Hegseth's concerns, stating, “Our service members deserve leadership that prioritizes readiness, discipline, and a clear mission — not distractions rooted in politics.”Finally, the Congressman gave listeners a behind-the-scenes look at current debates in Washington, including ongoing budget negotiations, border security, and the challenges of navigating a divided Congress. With characteristic clarity, he offered both critique and optimism, asserting, “We've got serious problems, but we also have serious people ready to fix them.”It was a frank and informative discussion that highlighted Congressman Haridopolos's continued commitment to national security, military integrity, and responsible governance.

On today's Rhett Palmer Show — October 1st, 2025 — we're diving into three major global headlines.First, can Donald Trump actually broker peace in the Gaza-Israel conflict? At a White House summit this week, he laid out a bold 20-point plan demanding Hamas release all hostages, disarm completely, and hand Gaza's future over to Arab states following a phased Israeli troop withdrawal. Will Hamas even consider this deal?Next, we turn to Moldova, a small but strategically important European nation. In its latest election, the pro-European "Party for Action and Solidarity" led by President Maia Sandu won a strong 50% of the vote, while the pro-Russian faction only pulled 25%. What does this mean for Moldova's future—and for Russia's influence in the region?Finally, we ask a big question: Has the United Nations outlived its usefulness? Now 80 years old, the UN is full of bureaucracy, and much of the world's actual power plays happen in the Security Council—which is often paralyzed by vetoes. Is it time to rethink the UN's role and whether U.S. tax dollars should still support it?Tune in to The Rhett Palmer Show — where bold questions lead to real conversations.#RhettPalmerShow #Trump #Gaza #Moldova #UN #Politics #MiddleEast #Geopolitics Support the show
