Os and Scott beak down the momentous US midterm election results. They talk about the last minute campaign twists that nearly derailed the Democrat's campaign, the huge night for progressives, and what the results mean for Donald Trump and the future of US politics.

Then they cover the broken state of Australia's economic policy debate. With the country facing a recession, rising unemployment and increasing interest rates, why is the media fixated on pressuring the government to cut spending?

In Keeping Tabs: What happened to the Helen Haines story, and why is the Melbourne Press Club rolling out the red carpet for One Nation?
