UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer faced questions regarding a new chickenpox vaccine rollout and criticized political opponents for spreading "vaccine conspiracies." In international news, Israel reportedly targeted Houthi military bases in Yemen, including the "headquarters of the Houthi public relations department." The hosts find the targeting of a PR department particularly noteworthy in the context of modern warfare.

The resignation of Mike Waltz and Alex Wong is linked to "Signalgate," involving the leak of top-secret details regarding Houthi bombing missions on the Signal messaging app. Military contractors confirm that the Department of Defense requires the use of Signal for operational security (OPSEC), contradicting narratives that it is merely a commercial app. Speculation suggests Waltz and Wong may have been sacrificed as bargaining chips in trade talks with China due to their "China hawk" stances.

American B-2 bombers conducted airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, an event noted for its lack of prominent coverage in mainstream outlets like CBS News.

Kamala Harris claimed during the debate that no active-duty U.S. military personnel are currently in combat zones, a statement challenged by recent casualties and deployments. U.S. troops remain engaged in operations against ISIS in Iraq and faced fatal attacks in Jordan earlier this year.

Houthi rebels claimed to have sunk the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower in the Red Sea, a claim the ship's captain, Christopher Hill, dismissed as "comical" via social media.

Justin Logan of the Cato Institute criticizes the U.S. maritime strategy in the Red Sea, noting that the "Operation Prosperity Guardian" coalition is spending millions to intercept cheap Houthi drones. The hosts argue that the rerouting of ships around the Cape of Good Hope primarily affects European trade and suggest the U.S. might benefit from the disruption by selling more liquid petroleum gas.
