This week on Rivera and Reeves, Rachel powers through “death warmed over” (her words, not ours) to join Meseidy for a jam-packed episode that tackles big headlines with sharp wit and bold commentary. Here’s what’s on the docket:

We Also Dive Into:

• California Wildfires: Mismanagement, empty fire hydrants, and why some policies might be fanning the flames.
• Conquistador Trump: His fascination with Greenland, the Panama Canal, and the idea of a "Gulf of America."
• The Lakein Riley Act: Immigration reform gets heated in Congress, with surprising bipartisan twists.
• David Muir’s Snatched Jacket: High fashion meets on-the-ground reporting during California’s crisis.
• Sonny Hostin’s Husband’s Legal Troubles: RICO charges, insurance fraud, and how it could shake her high-horse image.

From fiery debates (literally) to jaw-dropping headlines, we’ve got it all this week. Grab your headphones—it’s a ride!
