Sean Spicer and the panel break down a massive week in politics — from President Trump’s high-stakes AI summit to a $200M panic to save Texas. Sean and the panel discuss President Trump's high-profile meeting with the heads of the A.I. companies and the launch of America.gov — and debate whether AI companies should be policing themselves or regulated by the government. Plus: Trump announces he's hitting the campaign trail for the final 32 days, targeting new swing states like Texas, Ohio and Nebraska. Sean and the panel react to leaked New York Times audio of Ken Paxton admitting the midterm convention hurt his numbers — and ask if $150-million to $200-million is worth it to keep the Texas Senate seat from James Talarico and the Democrats. Also: Troy Jackson's cringey new ad in Maine, and the panel's Winners and Losers of the week.

The battle for the House runs through TWO seats — PA-7 and MI-7. 

On Episode 810 of The Sean Spicer Show, Sean sits down with the two Republicans defending America's closest swing districts.  First, Rep. Ryan Mackenzie (PA-7) on defending the "swingiest" seat in the country. Mackenzie won in 2024 by just 4,000 votes in a district with identical Republican and Democrat voter registrations and a large Latino population. He breaks down the balance of power, what it takes to hold PA-7, and his opponent Bob Brooks — caught trashing volunteer firefighters and facing allegations of defrauding his own family.

Then, Rep. Tom Barrett (MI-7) on defending the seat he flipped from Elissa Slotkin after Slotkin left for the Senate. Barrett  is an Army veteran whose district includes the state capital of Lansing and Michigan State University.  He now faces DSA insurgent candidate William Lawrence. Barrett talks razor-thin margins to win and keep the seat, delivering for the district, and the Michigan top-of-the-ticket with John James and Mike Rogers and their chances of winning.

Two seats. Two razor-thin margins. Control of Congress on the line.
