A White House Correspondent Trump Called a “Sick Person” Who Vance Labelled an “Imbecile” On How He Was Banned From Air Force One

We begin with a White House correspondent who on Tuesday asked questions Trump and Vance didn’t like, prompting Trump’s insult calling him a “sick person” and a “Mongoloid Moron,” followed by Vance who labeled him an “imbecile.” Now today that same reporter found himself banned from Air Force One even though he was scheduled for the print pool seat, part of the 13-member press pool that follows the president any time he leaves Washington. Joining us is Andrew Feinberg, the White House Correspondent for The Independent where his latest articles are “Trump lost control and ordered me to be ‘quiet’ in the Oval Office. Then it got personal” and “Trump won’t let me fly with him today – but he can’t silence me.”

Trump’s “Yalta” in His Quest For a Nobel Prize To Take Place at the APEC Summit in China With Putin and Xi, But No Zelensky

Then we look into Trump’s quest for a Nobel Prize and his hopes that a great power meeting like FDR, Churchill and Stalin’s meeting at Yalta will take place at the APEC summit in Shenzhen, China on November 18-19 between him, Putin and Xi. Such a meeting was first suggested by Putin during Trump’s October 9 birthday call with the Russian dictator, which was so chummy that neither side wanted to hang up the phone. Joining us is Michael Kimmage, Director of the Kennan Institute, who is a professor of history and department chair at the Catholic University of America. From 2014 to 2017, he served on the Secretary’s Policy Planning Staff at the U.S. Department of State, where he held the Russia/Ukraine portfolio. He is the author of The Abandonment of the West: The History of an Idea in American Foreign Policy and Collisions: The War in Ukraine and the Origins of the New Global Instability, and he has an article at The New York Times we discuss, “Trump Is Still Chasing His Yalta. Here’s What He Doesn’t Get.“

The Growing Bipartisan Opposition to Data Centers

Then finally, we assess the growing bipartisan opposition to data centers and speak with Stephanie Justice, Communications Manager at Americans for Responsible Innovation who previously was Press Secretary at The Alliance for Secure AI and Press Secretary for the Democratic National Committee. Over 340 anti-data center protests have taken place across at least 42 states since the beginning of 2025, with 80% since the beginning of 2026, and 430 local data center opposition groups have organized more than 525,000 Americans to join groups to resist the construction of these facilities across at least 40 states.
