A massive building collapse in Brooklyn and NVIDIA's CEO resigns. That kicks us off.

Then, President Trump is a lame duck at war — with Democrats who just swept Congress, with the Justice Department he's ordered to investigate the winners, and with his own concession that his immigration crackdown may have gone too far. And, he’s now questioning the election results while his Secretary of Defense is under fire but avoids impeachment. This week, Jon Leiberman catches you up on the fallout with four interviews you won't want to miss.

One week after Democrats swept Congress, Scripps News Political Director Andrew Rafferty breaks down what happened, what comes next, and the road to 2028. Then Emmy-winning investigative reporter Rob Rosen, author of "Crimes of Omission," takes a skeptical look at the DSA's historic night - five new House members and socialist mayors now leading America's two largest cities- and explains why the media coverage is missing the real story.

Also this week: Vani Hari, the Food Babe, on whether the MAHA movement is dead or just on life support and her new book "Food Babe Feast." Former Homeland Security special agent Eric Balliet, author of "Kingpins and Coyotes," reacts to Trump's border self-grade, with his full interview next week. Plus the Whip Around, the panel and a pineapple pizza firing you have to hear to believe.
