Hollywood’s New Power Couple; GOOOOOAL! The Groups Are In!
It’s a Hollywood shake-up for the ages. Netflix’s merger with Warner Bros. Discovery is officially a go.

Plus: It’s the day soccer fans have been waiting for nearly four years. It’s the FIFA World Cup draw.

The GOP holds on in the Volunteer State; A Lawsuit That’s Anything But Sugarcoated
A potential warning sign for Republicans in Tennessee. Matt Van Epps, the party's nominee, won the special election in the 7th District and thanked President Trump for a boost. Both parties poured money into the race, but Van Epps' single-digit margin of victory is a far cry from Trump’s 22-point win there in 2024. So, what does the result signal nationally? Chief Data Analyst Steve Kornacki joins host Ryan Nobles to break it down. Plus, San Francisco is taking on big food, in a first-of-its-kind lawsuit. The city is suing 10 of the country’s biggest ultraprocessed food makers, accusing them of knowingly selling products designed to be addictive and harmful to Americans’ health. The defendants include household names like Kraft Heinz, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and Nestlé USA. NBC News Legal Analyst Danny Cevallos joins us to break down the case, what’s at stake and why legal experts are watching this one closely. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When Does a Strike Cross the Line?; Mr. Witkoff goes to Moscow
President Trump met with his Cabinet this morning as questions continue to intensify over a U.S. strike on a shipping boat allegedly carrying drugs in the Caribbean. The White House now confirms that in a September anti-smuggling operation, the military launched a second strike that killed survivors of the first attack, a move some lawmakers and legal experts say could be a war crime. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt has said the operation was legal and Adm. Frank M. Bradley acted within his authority. NBC News senior national security correspondent Courtney Kube joins host Anne Thompson to break it all down. And amid ongoing bloodshed in Ukraine and fragile cease-fire negotiations, Russian President Vladimir Putin is meeting today in Moscow with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Witkoff is expected to brief Putin on the newly updated peace plan hammered out in recent days by U.S. and Ukrainian and European negotiators. As these high-stakes talks unfold, we’re checking in with our team on the ground: NBC News chief international correspondent Keir Simmons is in Moscow, and chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel is in Ukraine.
