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.
