National security was the next topic of conversation. Lahren remarked that she felt “safer than ever,” including that many of her friends are veterans, thus receiving great applause. The two women also shared their thoughts on the Middle East plight, with Handler noting her lack of confidence in President Trump’s ability to come up with a viable solution.
When discussing the issues of transgender people in the military, Lahren called it a positive step, stating that her decision was not motivated by hatred for transgender people, but by the reality that the military is not about individuals, but about neutralizing grave threats. She also mentioned the issues with transgender people not being able to go on the battlefield when they are medicated.
The Tomi Lahren v. Chelsea Handler debate was interesting and hyped up, to say the least. The audience was rambunctious, frequently cheering and booing both Handler and Lahren depending on who said what. Although both women had contrasting views on government, healthcare, national security, and military affairs, Lahren and Handler respected each other and made sure their opinions were heard.
