We give you a brief update on the situation at the People's Food Co-op (spoilers: democracy wins). Abdul El- Sayed is planning a town hall here on WMU campus at the Fetzer Center next week.

Lawrence joins us and we discuss the legacy of his father Gus Calbert.

We talk about the fallout from Ed Sheeran dropping Macklemore from his tour, our thoughts on the RNC, and reflect on the quarter century since 9/11.

We carry the flame and talk about the anniversary of Charlie Kirk's assassination, the long term health consequences years out from the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, and give you some updates about AI.
