As Republicans vow policy changes and probes if the balance of power is flipped, Jake Tapper gives his analysis of what could happen if they take control of Congress. Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw hopes to become the chair of the House Homeland Security Committee in 12 day’s time. Jake pushes him on what he would prefer his party to prioritize to achieve legislative change, and their plan to raise the debt ceiling on day one, to avoid a government shutdown. Later, they discuss the GOP’s stance on border security and the opioid crisis.

Plus, CNN contributor Bob Costas explains why the Phillies playing against the Astros in the World Series is being called one of baseball's biggest mismatches in more than 100 years, and also tells Jake about how the NFL is still struggling to protect players from concussions. And, Actress Elizabeth Banks joins to talk about her new film “Call Jane”, which looks at the pre-Roe world through one woman’s abortion journey.

Hosted by Jake Tapper.
