The Friday crew is back to react to last night's debates in Michigan with Abdul and Mike Rodgers, and in Georgia with Jon Ossoff and Mike Collins. Then class is back in session as Professor Pape returns to break down how Trump's new deployment of troops to the Middle East is a major gift to Tehran. Finally we speak to Michigan congressional candidate Will Lawrence about his continued fight against data centers, where Dem leadership is on AI, and how his Republican opponent has no answer on Tariffs.
