Talkin' Politics is back and barely a week into this new year there's already so much to talk about, including Trump's abrupt pivot to nation building? While Trump and his surrogates decide why they bombed Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, S.E. ruminates on Trump's signature policy: America First. Since the height of that isolationist marketing pitch, something's changed. S.E. gives her hot take on it all and asks her guest, former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, is there a line in the sand for Trump's MAGA followers? Also, S.E.'s checks in with Larry Beinhart, author of the 1993 novel American Hero, which became the basis for the movie Wag the Dog, about a politically cooked-up, made-for-TV war to benefit a sitting president. Fitting?

S.E. Cupp needs a break -- from the news, from politics, from the triggering headlines and heated discussions … from the mental load of it all. Off the Cupp is just that. It’s a place to get loose and personal, to talk about what’s going on in our lives - beyond (and, yes, maybe because of) the news. Through a lens of mental health, S.E. invites her famous guests — celebrities, athletes, authors, journalists, politicians, reality stars — to share their life stories, their trials and tribulations and to talk about what it’s like living in this world, even when this world can feel like a lot.
