Is the bitter war in Ukraine soon to wind down now that a peace settlement is being negotiated and how should America prepare for economic and military parity with China? GoodFellows regulars Niall Ferguson, John Cochrane, H.R. McMaster, and Bill Whalen discuss those questions and more in an episode devoted solely to viewers' questions. Together, the fellows delve into matters ranging from those somber (allaying twenty-somethings' climate alarmism, "ideal" interest rates, the future of tank warfare as well as AI's redesign of future workforces) to those more lighthearted (H.R.'s service nickname, the artist behind John's wall hangings, and how the fellows would ride out a future pandemic). Finally, on the eve of America's Thanksgiving holiday, the fellows count their blessings—especially "Papa" Ferguson, who recently joined John and H.R. as a first-time grandfather.

Will New York City elect an unabashed socialist with dreams of wealth redistribution? Is Los Angeles ready for the 2028 Olympics? Rick J. Caruso—noted LA real estate developer and potential 2026 political candidate—joins GoodFellows to discuss the future of America's big cities. In a conversation moderated by Bill Whalen, Caruso speaks with Hoover Senior Fellows Niall Ferguson, John Cochrane, and H.R. McMaster about whether other major cities will follow "Gotham's" lead and how to drive change in municipalities notoriously averse to innovation. The fellows then reflect on the Ukraine-Russia war, now entering its 42nd month with no end in sight, and close with a lightning round covering: Harvard's reported desire to create a "Hoover Institution" of its own; Hunter Biden's comments on illegal immigration; the Epstein scandal's impact on the MAGA movement; and a "heated" debate over why Sir Niall and his countrymen choose to live without air conditioning.

What can we expect from this week's Putin–Trump summit in Alaska? Hoover Institution Director Condoleezza Rice—no stranger to engaging in statecraft with Russia's enigmatic president—joins GoodFellows regulars Niall Ferguson, John Cochrane, and H.R. McMaster for a spirited conversation moderated by Bill Whalen. They discuss Vladimir Putin's motives (is the summit only for domestic Russian consumption?), how to characterize the present US–Sino competition (Secretary Rice tossing cold water on "Cold War 2"), and the sensibility of the Trump administration's threats to withhold federal research funds from leading universities in order to change campus cultures. Following that, Sir Niall recounts his recent sit-down with Argentinian president Javier Milei (is that nation's "vibe shift" real or contrived?); and tariff-agnostic John Cochrane assesses the progress of the Trump administration's ever-evolving trade strategy. Finally, the three panelists discuss the recent 80th anniversary of the only wartime use of atomic weapons and the importance of its annual remembrance. Watch the full conversation on X:
