Military enlistment among Gen Z has reached a 15-year high as young recruits seek to avoid rising college debt and find "purpose offline." Recruits cite financial benefits and the desire for a "brotherhood" as primary motivators. Dana Brunetti reflects on his own four-year service in the Coast Guard, which he credits for his professional discipline as a producer.

The segment notes that the U.S. Coast Guard previously adopted the name "Gulf of America" following an executive order, though other nations did not recognize the change. The hosts discuss Mark Carney's role in the "rules-based world order" and the political motivations behind the current trade tensions.
