About this episode

The gang digs into the protests and riots across France, where anger over struggling schools has broadened into frustration with living costs and public services. Are student grievances driving the unrest, or is something bigger going on? Then they turn to Mitch McConnell’s warning that Trump’s approach to Putin could prolong the war in Ukraine. Can McConnell push the administration to change course, and what leverage does he have left?
