Ebro and Laura open with a Veterans Day salute and talk Grand Theft Auto VI, its soundtrack and the fans taking time off to play. After Rosenberg arrives, he shares why he took paternity leave despite pushback from some colleagues. In the Rundown, Laura covers two canceled dates on Usher and Chris Brown’s R&B Tour, and the hosts discuss whether ticket prices and repeat stops could have played a role. Laura also covers Brandy and Monica’s upcoming Las Vegas residency and the reported court order requiring Dame Dash to hand over Roc-A-Fella materials after a $550,000 sale of his life rights.

Ebony McMorris describes what it’s been like to cover the White House through two administrations and how the midterm results landed in the press corps. She discusses Stephen Miller’s appointment as chief of staff, Trump’s veto power and where Republicans could still act before January, including on judicial appointments, government funding and the debt limit.
