From Fireworks to Fallout: Musk’s Bizarre Move & Mamdani’s Mess

Meghan and Miranda are back from the Fourth... rested, recharged, and heartbroken. The tragic events at Camp Mystic and across Texas cast a shadow over the holiday weekend. Then, POLITICO’s Capitol Bureau Chief Rachael Bade joins to catch us up on everything you may have missed: the fallout from the Big Beautiful Bill, Elon Musk’s surprise third-party launch, and the growing heat on NYC mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani. Later, former UPenn swimmer Paula Scanlan joins to discuss the Supreme Court’s decision to review state bans on transgender athletes. She shares her personal experience competing alongside Lia Thomas, and what might be coming next from the Court. Politics, culture, tragedy, and tough conversations... it’s all in today’s episode.

Meghan’s riding solo today while Miranda battles a summer bug (don’t worry, she made her take the day off). But she’s got backup: political commentator Ryan Girdusky and The Hill’s Amie Parnes are here to break down the biggest stories heading into the Fourth of July weekend. From American patriotism hitting record lows, to UPenn officially scrubbing Lia Thomas’s wins, to the slow-motion meltdown of the Musk-Trump bromance... nothing’s off-limits. It’s sharp, punchy, and full of fireworks. Meghan and Miranda will be back after the holiday weekend — have a fabulous Fourth!

Meghan and Miranda kick things off by diving into the weirdest wedding of the year — Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s lavish yet totally random Venice affair. From the guest list to the décor, nothing made sense! Then, Fox News host Gianno Caldwell joins to talk rising crime in liberal-run cities and why New Yorkers (and major cities across the country) should be paying close attention to Mamdani’s wild mayoral campaign. Gianno shares his powerful personal story of losing his brother to gun violence in Chicago — and why this issue hits so close to home. Finally, the ladies close out the show finally getting to talk about 'Vanderpump Rules' star Tom Sandoval’s shockingly good 'America’s Got Talent' audition. They’re still riding hard for Team Tom — and now, maybe you will too.

Meghan sits down with our Second Lady, Usha Vance, for her first long-form interview since stepping into the national spotlight, and she’s sharing it all! Usha opens up about making the leap from Ohio to Capitol Hill, the beautiful chaos of raising kids in a two-faith household, and what it’s really like being one of the most famous women in the world. Plus, Meghan drops some personal news of her own — baby number three is on the way and is a boy — Usha shares some heartfelt parenting advice. Don’t miss Usha’s sweet story about falling in love with the Vice President back at Yale. It’s a candid, charming chat you’ll want to hear!

Meghan and Miranda open the show with huge news they’ve been teasing all week: Meghan’s scored an exclusive interview with Second Lady Usha Vance — oh, and she and Ben are expecting their third baby! Then they’re joined by Iran policy expert Alireza Jafarzadeh to break down the latest on the escalating Iran crisis. He explains why regime change must come from within — but the U.S. can’t afford to stand on the sidelines. Meghan and Miranda also debate this weekend’s strikes on Iran as Republicans like Rubio and J.D. Vance close ranks around the president, while AOC and others raise legal questions. And veteran TV producer and journalist Daniella Greenbaum joins to give her perspective on Israel and preview what’s at stake in NYC mayoral race.

Meghan and Miranda are joined by Daily Mail White House reporter Nikki Schwab to unpack the explosive Tucker Carlson interview with Ted Cruz, and what it reveals about growing fractures in the MAGA movement. They also dive into whether the escalating Israel-Iran conflict could finally split the New Right, the hush-hush White House renovations, and Nikki shares behind-the-scenes stories from Air Force One (yes, the snacks are that good).

Meghan and Miranda open up about their growing anxiety over the looming conflict between Israel and Iran... and whether it’s the spark that drags us all into World War 3. They’re joined by foreign policy analyst Noah Rothman, who breaks down what this escalation means for the region, and why it could actually be key to reshaping the Middle East. Then, comedian Daniel-Ryan Spaulding checks in live from Tel Aviv to share what it’s really like on the ground right now — the tension, the resilience, and the unexpected humor.

Meghan and Miranda open the show fired up after Pete Hegseth refuses to give a straight answer on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. MAGA’s pro-Russia leanings are getting harder to spin — and Meghan is not here for his soft approach to a very easy question. Then, radio host Mo Kelly joins with boots-on-the-ground insight from the Los Angeles ICE protests and what the media isn’t showing you.

Meghan and Miranda kick off with a fiery debate over the ICE protests in L.A.—are we getting the full story, or just another round of media-fueled drama? Then, Brent Scher from The Daily Wire joins to break down the protests, the spectacular Musk-Trump bromance breakup, and the DNC’s latest meltdown after Ken Martin’s leaked call set off a firestorm. Finally… Miranda pulls off an epic Annabelle update surprise that completely freaks out Meghan. You won’t want to miss it.

Meghan and Miranda kick things off with bombshell news: Karine Jean-Pierre says she’s done with the Democratic Party. Is it a real political shift—or a strategic move for her next media gig? They break it down and ask the question on everyone’s mind: who’s buying what she’s selling? Then, political strategist Ryan Girdusky joins to unpack the latest D.C. drama—from Elon Musk’s behind-the-scenes political power grabs to his rumored feud with Trump—and what it all means for the future of the GOP.
