France in Flames: Macron’s Blame Game

from The Wake Up America show with Austin Petersen Hosted by Austin Petersen

France's unrest puts Emmanuel Macron's response and Marine Le Pen's assimilation argument under the spotlight. Austin Petersen challenges Macron's explanation and asks what the conflict means for borders, national identity and liberty. James Delmore joins the debate over assimilation, freedom in theory versus practice, and JD Vance's argument about foreign influence online. Then The Tennessee Star's Tom Pappert analyzes Trump's Kentucky rally, the fight for the House, Michigan's Senate race and the affordability argument heading into the midterms.
