Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter addresses ROTC members regarding the criteria for defeating ISIS in Raqqa and Mosul. Carter describes the extremist ideology as a "cancer" that requires constant military intervention even after territorial defeat. The hosts criticize Carter's suggestion that the military may need to address Americans who have "lost their way" and are inspired by ISIS domestically.

ABC News and David Muir reported on discrepancies in Dr. Ben Carson's claim that he was offered a full scholarship to West Point. Carson's campaign clarified that while he was encouraged to apply by military officials, he never formally applied or was admitted. The hosts analyze the media's "firestorm" surrounding Carson's personal history and his status as a top Republican candidate.

Barack Obama discussed the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy during his address, though the hosts argue the repeal is not yet fully certified by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The speech included a specific sequence linking race, religion, and sexuality in military service. Observations of the Joint Chiefs during the speech noted a lack of applause, while Hillary Clinton was seen wearing a prominent blue outfit.
