Legacy, Loss & Laughter: The McCains Look Back

Meghan and Miranda kick off with breaking horror news: Annabelle is reportedly on the loose in Maine, just as 'The Conjuring: Last Rites' tops the box office. Chaos? Check. Then they welcome Fox News’ Guy Benson to unpack the horrific murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, and the stunning silence from the mainstream media. Was the lack of coverage racially motivated? They don’t hold back. From there, it’s a full dive into the soft-on-crime policies fueling voter outrage, and how the rise of Zohran Mamdani is reshaping the New York mayoral race, and the future of the Democratic Party. Plus, they couldn’t skip the viral moment of the week: “Phillies Karen” has entered the meltdown hall of fame. And yes, the trad-family movement is having a moment, and it’s not just online.

Meghan and Miranda open the show with comedian and commentator Seena Ghaznavi, diving headfirst into the real headline of the week: President Trump is very much alive, despite a holiday weekend filled with Blue-Anon conspiracies hoping otherwise. So… who was more disappointed? Progressives or JD Vance? They also get into: Gavin Newsom’s meteoric rise in 2028 polling and what it means for the Democrats The Capitol press conference led by Epstein survivors, who announced they’ll release information themselves after years of stonewalling Plus, a little dark humor and a lot of spicy debate over the media's silence, spin, and selective outrage It’s Citizen McCain at its most unfiltered... taking on conspiracy culture, political opportunism, and the narratives no one else wants to touch.

Meghan and Miranda are back at the desk and ready to close out summer with a bang—even if it means Miranda’s entering her annual cold-and-flu season (yay, school germs!). They’re catching up on the wildest headlines of the week, including: Cracker Barrel’s logo drama: The internet revolted, the brand backpedaled, and Trump had thoughts. Taylor Swift gets Trump's blessing: Kind of. He weighs in on Swift and Travis Kelce... with a classic Trump twist. The student double life: A new study says college students are pretending to be more progressive than they are to appease professors and boost their grades. Meghan and Miranda bring in Citizen McCain’s College Associate, Russell, to give us the real scoop on campus culture. It’s political whiplash, internet chaos, and hot takes galore—post-summer break energy fully activated.

It’s a family affair on today’s episode of Citizen McCain! Meghan and Miranda are back from summer break and diving into everything from grief and growing up McCain, to K-pop singalongs and the strange world of Disney adults. They’re joined by a very special guest, Meghan’s brother, Jimmy McCain. They open up about life in a legendary political family, navigating loss in the public eye, and the childhood moments that shaped them both. Plus: Summer recaps, sibling laughs, and a slow roll back into the chaos of today’s news cycle, with a little more heart and fun family stories.

Meghan and Miranda are heading out on a quick summer break, but not before getting ahead of everyone's favorite rumor. No, they didn’t have a falling out. And if they ever do? Miranda promises a live couples therapy episode with all the messy details (you’re welcome). Before they pack their bags, they dive into the viral debate over Gentle Parenting vs. FAFO Parenting, joined by columnist and mom-of-three Karol Markowicz for her unfiltered take. Also on the docket: Elizabeth Warren’s eyebrow-raising endorsement of Zohran Mamdani Jim Acosta interviewing an AI-generated Parkland victim (yes, that really happened) Rumors swirling around Gayle King and Howard Stern’s possible “retirements” And of course, they couldn’t leave you without a little dose of Annabelle. Is the spirit of Lorraine Warren now haunting Matt Rife and Elton Castee? Meghan and Miranda absolutely think so. This one’s a sendoff filled with hot takes, ghost gossip, and promises of chaos to come. See you in two weeks!

Meghan and Miranda kick off with one of the wildest headlines yet: comedian Matt Rife has officially bought the Warren Occult Museum. Yes, the one that houses Annabelle the haunted doll. They’ve got thoughts (and maybe a few warnings). Then, the legendary Dr. Drew Pinsky joins for a deep dive into the psychological state of America post-2020. From the lingering effects of Covid-era fear to the unsettling surge in AI porn and hyper-potent marijuana use among young people, Dr. Drew brings sharp insight and serious perspective. It’s part horror story, part health wake-up call... and 100% can’t-miss.

Meghan and Miranda kick off the show relieved that Miranda didn’t get swept away by the tsunami warnings on the West Coast, but the internet drama? That’s another story. They dive into Sydney Sweeney’s viral American Eagle ad and the online obsession with her “good jeans.” Then, Daily Mail’s Nikki Schwab joins to unpack Trump’s latest twist on the Epstein fallout... including a wild claim that he “stole” women from Mar-a-Lago. Also on deck: Cory Booker’s Senate floor meltdown where he takes aim at his own party, and that chaotic, candid, and kinda confusing Hunter Biden interview. It’s a wave of politics, pop culture, and everything in between.

Meghan and Miranda kick off this supersized episode with a rant we can all get behind: enough with the superhero movies already! They share their love for original films like 'Eddington' and their frustration that no one’s seeing them (seriously, why is it only playing at 10pm?). Then, Ethan Strauss, host of Random Offense and writer of House of Strauss, joins to talk sports, culture, and why we may never see larger-than-life legends like Barkley, Shaq, or Rodman again. His takes are sharp, unfiltered, and full of surprises. Later, journalist and bestselling author Vicky Ward stops by for an exclusive look at the Idaho Four case. She shares details from her new book, emotional moments from the courtroom, and what the media keeps missing. Plus: fresh Epstein reporting, what’s next for Ghislaine Maxwell, and whether a pardon might actually be in play. Movies, media, legends, and legal drama... it’s a packed episode you don’t want to miss.

In this rare long-form interview, Gisele Fetterman sits down with Meghan for an unfiltered conversation about her remarkable journey, from undocumented immigrant to community leader and outspoken advocate. She shares what it’s really like being married to a U.S. Senator, raising kids in the public eye, and why she’s never had political ambitions of her own. Gisele opens up about her work as a volunteer firefighter, the intense media attention she’s faced, and the growing speculation about whether her husband, Senator John Fetterman, could be eyeing a 2028 presidential run. It’s thoughtful, unexpected, and deeply personal. Don’t miss this one.

Meghan and Miranda kick off the show reacting to the bombshell news: The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is coming to an end. Miranda’s not shocked... she’s been calling it for weeks and breaks down exactly how she saw it coming. Then journalist and friend of the show Salena Zito joins to talk about her gripping new book, Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America’s Heartland. She shares how that moment changed the country, the media, and possibly Trump himself, and why the press still refuses to face the truth. Finally, the girls serve up a fresh Annabelle update (because of course the demon doll is still causing chaos), and side-eye RFK Jr. for hiking Camelback Mountain during a brutal Arizona heatwave. From late-night exits to high-stakes political shifts, it’s a jam-packed episode you don’t want to miss.
