Epstein’s Inbox; Guess Who’s Back, Back Again? Nov 12, 2025

Show notes

Jeffrey Epstein mentioned President Donald Trump in multiple emails to his associate Ghislaine Maxwell and a journalist, at one point writing Trump “knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop,” according to messages newly released by House Democrats. The House Oversight Committee made public three email chains sent between 2011 and 2019, which they say came from Epstein’s estate as part of their broader investigation into his network. Republicans on the committee later released what they say are 20,000 additional pages from Epstein's estate. Host Yasmin Vossoughian is joined by chief Capitol Hill correspondent Ryan Nobles and senior national politics reporter Jon Allen to unpack what’s in these emails, what they could mean and what might come next. Meanwhile, the House is back after more than a month away and set to vote Wednesday night on a deal to reopen the government. The plan, crafted in the Senate, skips funding for Affordable Care Act subsidies. Lawmakers will vote on that separately, but Republicans want to tie any extensions to new abortion limits, setting up the next big fight in Washington. NBC News senior national political reporter Sahil Kapur explains.

Strikes on the High Seas; A Patient’s Worst Fear Nov 11, 2025

Show notes

The U.S. military has launched another strike in the eastern Pacific, hitting two boats and killing six alleged “narco-terrorists.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the attack but offered no proof nor identities of the victims. It’s the latest in a series of U.S. operations targeting so-called terrorist-linked drug networks, drawing sharp criticism from Colombia and Venezuela. And with the Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group now in the region, signs point to a possible escalation. NBC News chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel is in Colombia and joins host Yasmin Vossoughian to break down what he’s learning on the ground. And a new lawsuit accuses an Army gynecologist of secretly recording a patient during an exam at Fort Hood. The suit names Dr. Blaine McGraw and claims the Army ignored years of sexual misconduct complaints, and a military official said at least 25 women have been contacted by Army criminal investigators. NBC News senior national security correspondent Courtney Kube joins the pod from just outside Fort Hood with the latest.

Let’s Make a Deal; Moneyball … Literally Nov 10, 2025

Show notes

Senators worked through the weekend, and for the first time in weeks, there may be light at the end of the shutdown tunnel. Lawmakers appear to have struck a preliminary deal featuring a “minibus” package: three full-year spending bills to fund key departments through next fall, plus a short-term measure to keep the rest of the government running through January. Is this the breakthrough Washington’s been waiting for or just another bump in the road? Yasmin Vossoughian breaks it down with NBC News chief Capitol Hill correspondent Ryan Nobles, who was really hoping for a quiet weekend. And another gambling scandal is rocking pro sports, this time in Major League Baseball. Federal prosecutors have charged Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Leandro Ortiz with rigging their own games by intentionally throwing balls instead of strikes. At the same time, prosecutors say co-conspirators bet on their performance, netting about $450,000 over two years. The case, brought by the office behind last month’s NBA betting indictments, charges the pair with conspiracy, fraud and bribery. Lawyers for both players denied the charges. Sports betting reporter and author Danny Funt joins the pod.

The Politics of Hunger; A Forgotten War Nov 07, 2025

Show notes

NBC News senior policy reporter Shannon Pettypiece spoke with Americans who are turning to desperate measures to feed their families and joins host Yasmin Vossoughian to tell their stories. And the civil war that has been raging in Sudan since 2023 appears to be coming to an end. Chief international correspondent Keir Simmons joins the pod to help break down how close the country really is to peace.

Madam Speaker Signing Off; Shutdown Turbulence Ahead Nov 06, 2025

Show notes

After nearly four decades in Congress, Nancy Pelosi says she’s done. The first and only woman to serve as speaker is stepping away from the House, closing a chapter that shaped modern Democratic politics. Senior politics reporter Jon Allen joins host Yasmin Vossoughian to look back at her legacy, from landmark wins to political battles and what her exit means for the next generation of leadership on Capitol Hill. And with Thanksgiving exactly three weeks away, brace yourself if you plan on flying. It’s Day 37 of the government shutdown, and the ripple effects are hitting the skies. The FAA says it’s cutting air traffic by 10% at 40 of the nation’s busiest airports to cope with staffing shortages. NBC News chief Capitol Hill Correspondent Ryan Nobles joins the pod to answer the question: Will this be the straw that breaks the camel’s back and ends the government shutdown?

“It’s the Economy, Stupid” Nov 05, 2025

Show notes

Voters just sent a loud and clear message: They’re not feeling great about the economy. Wall Street might be soaring, but Main Street is still stuck in the slow lane, squeezed by high prices, shrinking savings and slowing paychecks. Host Yasmin Vossoughian is joined by NBC News Business & Data Correspondent Brian Cheung to break down what’s really driving the frustration. And later, the Supreme Court weighs whether Trump has the authority to impose his signature economic policy: tariffs. Senior Supreme Court reporter Lawrence Hurley was inside the courtroom today for oral arguments and joins the pod to break it all down.

The Final Countdown Nov 03, 2025

Show notes

It’s the final countdown before Election Day, but the government shutdown is casting a long shadow. Now on Day 34, Washington remains gridlocked as President Trump urges Republicans to “get tougher,” even floating the “nuclear option” to pass bills without Democratic support. GOP leaders have balked, and a new NBC News poll shows most voters blame Trump and his party for the stalemate. And with as many as 40 million Americans worried about losing food aid, the administration says it will use contingency funds to cover about half of this month’s SNAP benefits. Here to break it all down with host Yasmin Vossoughian is NBC News digital political reporter Jon Allen. And voters in Pennsylvania will decide whether three Democratic justices should remain on the state Supreme Court for another 10-year term. NBC News Senior Reporter Jane Timm tells us why it matters in this critical battleground state.

Mamdani’s New York Minute; The Prince formerly known as Andrew Oct 31, 2025

Show notes

We’re one week out from Election Day, and polls are already open across the country, with key races in New Jersey, Virginia, California and here in New York City. Today, we’re zeroing in on New York, where, to many, the mayoral race isn’t just about who runs the city — it’s about who defines the Democratic Party. The contest has cracked open deep divides over crime, housing and identity, and the result could send a message far beyond the five boroughs. NBC News Politics Reporter Allan Smith, who had an interview with Mamdani yesterday, joins host Yasmin Vossoughian. And Prince Andrew’s royal downfall just hit a new low. Buckingham Palace announced that the disgraced duke has been officially stripped of his remaining royal title and told to pack his bags and move out of the Royal Lodge, the sprawling Windsor estate he’s called home for decades. It’s a dramatic move that underscores King Charles’s efforts to distance the monarchy from scandal. Emily Nash, who is a Royal Editor at HELLO! magazine, joins the pod.
