At 1:25 a.m., Donald Trump was on Truth Social raging over a C-SPAN phone call. Then there's the poll that might really set him off. In a post-midterm POLITICO poll, 62% of Americans called Trump a loser in the midterms, and nearly six in ten said the same about MAGA. Even among Trump voters who identify as MAGA, 45% said their movement lost. Just 27% said it won. Don breaks down Trump's overnight rant and what the numbers say about his grip on the Republican Party. Plus, Congressman Jackson, one of 11 Democrats who missed the vote that blocked the impeachment effort against Pete Hegseth, joins Don live. Why did he miss it, and how would he have voted?

"People are dying. People are not okay." In an emotional interview with Don, former Florida Senate candidate Angie Nixon opens up about her election defeat, the pain of falling short, and why she's determined to keep fighting for struggling Americans. Nixon makes a passionate case for Medicare for All and expanded mental health services, warning Democratic leaders not to squander the opportunity voters have given them. She admits she's hurt that she didn't make it to Washington, but delivers a powerful promise: "I'm kind of hurt that I didn't make it, but Imma fight like hell from the outside." With millions of Americans struggling to access healthcare, Nixon says political leaders can no longer afford to ignore the suffering of ordinary people.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is facing EIGHT articles of impeachment, and his furious response from the Pentagon is raising even more questions. Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has introduced impeachment charges against Hegseth over the war with Iran, alleged violations of the War Powers Resolution, and accusations of abuse of power. Hegseth has dismissed the impeachment effort as a political stunt, launching a personal attack on the Republican congressman behind it. Senator Cory Booker joins Don live to react to the impeachment push, the war with Iran, and the growing questions about accountability inside the Trump administration. What does it mean when a Republican congressman moves to impeach Trump's own defense secretary? Does Hegseth have the support to survive this challenge? And what responsibility does Congress have to hold the Pentagon accountable?

From Hollywood superstar to MAGA celebrity. British actor and comedian Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10 years and six months behind bars after being convicted of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others. But Brand's fall from grace raises another extraordinary question: How did a man facing serious sexual charges become a celebrated figure in Donald Trump's MAGA movement? Earlier this year, Brand received a standing ovation at a black-tie gala at Mar-a-Lago, where he was celebrated as a defender of freedom. He had also cultivated close ties with prominent MAGA figures, including Donald Trump Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Now, following his conviction and sentencing, conservative commentator Megyn Kelly is publicly defending Brand, calling his punishment an outrage and suggesting he was the victim of a political witch hunt. In this special report, Don, with journalist Greg McKenzie, examines Brand's extraordinary transformation from British television provocateur to MAGA personality, the criminal case that ended in his conviction, and the political figures who rallied around him.
