Today our question is from Kay from Lancaster PA writes: So what could have been a disastrous Whitehouse Correspondents dinner was avoided by a gunman. Of course conspiracy theorists are saying that it was all planned. But I tend to believe that this was a real incident. However, by all reports, this was not as life threatening as the right would like to have us believe. The gunman never got close to the president as was stopped before reaching the Hilton Ballroom. Although I would like to hear your thoughts on this incident what I really want to ask is, do you think this will further rally his base? Will the congress now have the excuse to approve the new ballroom that he so desperately wants? Who should bear the responsibility for what many are calling an almost incompetent security set up? And why would a president attend an open dinner with his VP, Secretary of defense, acting AG and the Speaker of the House?  You would think no one in their right mind would want this group together during a social event.

Today we hear from Heather from Lexington VA writes, King Charles III is visiting Washington in celebration of the country’s 250th anniversary. What is the real purpose of the King’s visit? Since he has no real power is there a diplomatic reason or agenda that the King can promote, or do you think this is just for show? Given the tension between the UK and US over Iran should the UK government have tried harder to get the King to cancel? 
 Regarding Iran, Iran has threatened to expand its blockade to the Sea of Oman and the Red Sea unless the U.S. lifts its naval blockade. Oil prices surged amid fears of prolonged conflict and potential infrastructure attacks. The UAE has announced it will be leaving OPEC. Does this decision have anything to do with the Iranian war? What might the global energy consequences be if OPEC was to dissolve?

Today, we answer a question from Thomas from Las Vegas, Nevada, who writes, Of course, the economy is on everyone’s mind. The conflict in Iran is helping raise the price of almost everything. I’ve been following the IMF, and my questions stem from concerns they have raised; I’d like the panel's take on them. With Brent crude climbing above $100 per barrel, how vulnerable is the global economy to a prolonged conflict in the Middle East? The IMF now projects global growth at just 3.1%, are we heading toward a recession if the conflict widens? 
How should policymakers balance rising defense spending with the risk of inflation and weakened fiscal stability?

Today we hear from Joyce from Kansas City, Missouri, who writes: " It’s hard to decide what is truth and what is fiction coming out of the Iran conflict. But it seems almost all social media and news outlets are asking the same questions. How close is the world to a broader regional war as Iran expands its blockade threats from the Strait of Hormuz to the Sea of Oman and the Red Sea? What are the long‑term implications of President Trump’s escalating rhetoric, including warnings of potential strikes on “Level 3 targets”? If U.S. negotiations with Iran continue to stall, what diplomatic off‑ramps remain, and who has the leverage now?
