Today we hear from Thomas from Toledo, Ohio, who asks, I do listen and rarely agree with anything your panel says. But I try to keep an open mind.  So, you were arguing over the US boycotting the G20 summit. I don’t get it.  The US has the greatest economy, and it's all down to the President’s leadership. What do we need these other countries for anyway?  You all talk about “soft power,” but you fail to mention that the cost of that power comes from our tax dollars. We have enough problems here at home. Why should we care about the rest of the world?  Let them figure out their own problems. America First!
