Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is in the middle of another scandal over using Signal, again, for the same sensitive or classified information he exposed last time. Just like last time, he's fighting back, but is more out of control than he was before. Grant talks about this latest scandal and what's been happening behind the scenes at the White House. 

Then, Trump calls his own bluff again. This time, after weeks of calling for Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to resign or working to find ways to fire him, he says he won't do that. Grant breaks down how that happens and what it means for the economy. 

Finally, Elon Musk says he's on his way out, but not for good. After Tesla's stock dropped this week and Musk is getting increasingly more sensitive about the things his critics are saying, he's going to take a back seat for the rest of the administration. 

All of it comes together under the new White House mantra, No Scalps. Grant breaks it all down.
