Desus Nice handles the latest in the news including Taylor Swift's secret handshake with Brittany Mahomes, leaked audio of Sheila Jackson berating staffers, the House Speaker race heating up, and a man faking 20 heart attacks to get out of paying the bill.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stops by to explain the Republican House Speaker mess, the importance of creating an easier path to citizenship for immigrants, and whether she still loves her job.
