Major is over the moon to hit our 300th episode. The next big number he's tackling: the U.S. debt reaching a record $40 trillion. Nancy Cordes is at the White House to explain how we reached this point and what the Trump Administration believes it needs to do to combat it.

The House Ethics Committee announced earlier this week that it would investigate Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA) regarding alleged sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior with a staffer.

Plus, President Trump is touting the drop in prescription drug prices for Americans.

Major interviews Colin Woodard on his 2011 book “American Nations,” where he theorizes that there is not one America, but in fact, the U.S. map is shaped by 11 regional cultures that are in constant conflict with one another. “American Nations” is the first book in a trilogy where Woodard breaks down how multiple themes of colonization, individual liberty and the role of the government has impacted where these cultures fall on the spectrum.

Today marks 25 years since the 9/11 attacks that killed thousands in New York, Shanksville, PA and the Pentagon in the nation's capital.
