As Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) stands strong on his commitment to blockade military nominees, he did state after a closed-door GOP conference meeting that he would be open to five or six options to eventually allow the nominations through. Senator Tuberville joins Ben to discuss why he is maintaining the holds and what it would take for him to change his stance.

The Senator, and former Auburn Football coach, gives his take on the University of Michigan Football cheating scandal as well as whether or not he thinks the College Football Playoff Selection Committee is biased toward teams with larger television markets.

Why The Democrats Won't Denounce Anti-Semitism

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) faces a motion to vacate from Congresswoman Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and is currently attempting to pass Ukraine funding with a razor-thin Republican majority. Opposing forces within his own party believe he has sacrificed any potential deal on border security that could have given Republicans momentum heading into the election. 

Ben ponders what lessons can be learned from the GOP's governing majority failures and how it could eventually lead to a 'Trump-Reagan' fusion on foreign policy.
