Miranda Wilkins fills in for Meghan McCain and dives into Joe Kent’s resignation, the growing MAGA divide over Iran, and what it says about where Trump’s coalition is headed next. She’s joined by Billy Binion of Reason and Lydia Moynihan of the New York Post to break down the messy messaging around Iran, the fractures inside the America First movement, and why some of Trump’s loudest supporters suddenly seem a whole lot less aligned. They also get into the bizarre Megyn Kelly-Mark Levin feud, the Timothée Chalamet opera uproar, DOGE’s underwhelming legacy, and why the internet keeps serving up conspiracy theories, Bigfoot sightings, and general end-of-days energy leaving Miranda asking, "are we okay?"

Miranda Wilkins is filling in while Meghan McCain is still out on maternity leave, and this week she’s joined by Ryan Girdusky and Yemisi Egbewole to break down the chaos coming out of Iran, the White House’s wildly mixed messaging, and why so many voters still have no idea what the actual endgame is. They get into the growing divide inside the MAGA coalition over military action, why Marco Rubio suddenly looks like the most visible person in the administration, and whether JD Vance is actually the heir apparent or just the guy with the title. Then they dive into Kristi Noem’s very obvious not-a-promotion, the absurd DHS spending questions that helped tank her, and why her whole tenure felt more like cosplay than governing. They also touch on the latest Epstein mess, Bill Clinton being Bill Clinton, and wrap with a little palate cleanser courtesy of Sweet Brown, because truly, ain’t nobody got time for that.

Miranda Wilkins is filling in while Meghan McCain remains out on maternity leave, and she’s joined by Mo Kelly and Daily Mail Chief Campaign Correspondent Nikki Schwab to break down a chaotic week in politics. They start with the confusing messaging around the U.S. strikes on Iran. Officials say the threat was imminent, but the administration still hasn’t clearly explained the endgame. The panel discusses the political risks if the conflict drags on, the split reaction among voters, and whether the White House is intentionally keeping its strategy vague. Next, they dig into the wild results from the Texas primaries. Dan Crenshaw is out, Tony Gonzalez heads to a runoff despite major scandal, and the Democratic race between James Tallarico and Jasmine Crockett reveals a lot about where both parties’ bases are heading as the midterms approach. Finally, they tackle the latest twists in the Epstein investigation. Newly circulating deposition clips from Bill Clinton, congressional leaks, and a chaotic rollout of documents have raised even more questions about whether the investigation will produce real accountability. And because the internet always delivers a bizarre moment of comic relief, the show wraps with the funniest corporate feud of the week: Burger King trolling McDonald’s after the company’s CEO posted a painfully awkward burger taste test video.

Okay, so President Trump spoke for basically two business days, and Miranda, Ben Ferguson, and Salena Zito are here to translate what mattered and what was just… noise. They hit the economy, tariffs, taxes, housing, healthcare, and whether any of this is going to change what you feel at the grocery store next week. Then it gets spicy: the Olympics discourse spiral, why people are over politics infecting everything, and the right's very messy civil war over Candace Owens. Also, Miranda may or may not have accidentally taken out Karen Bass with a cold. Allegedly. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This one is a ride. Miranda's joined by Billy Binion and Yemisi Egbewole and they go from missing person media frenzy to 2028 tryouts in Munich to RFK Jr. and Kid Rock in a cold plunge... in jeans, for some reason. They break down why Savannah Guthrie's mom's disappearance is getting wall-to-wall coverage, why the internet detective thing usually makes everything worse, and how certain cases get attention while others get ignored. Then they pivot to Dems basically starting 2028 early, including AOC's viral moments, her fight with the New York Times, and who actually has a shot. Finally, they react to the MAHA ad that feels like a fever dream and ask the obvious question: who is this even for? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Miranda hosts solo while Meghan remains on maternity leave, joined by Mo Kelly and Kristen “Colonel Kurtz” Lacefield for a wide ranging conversation about power, trust, and the chaos cycle dominating the news. They break down the massive Epstein document release and what millions of pages actually tell us about elite accountability, public transparency, and why powerful people rarely face consequences. The discussion turns to outrage fatigue, conspiracy spirals, and whether constant information drops are making Americans informed or simply exhausted. Then the panel tackles the escalating situation in Minneapolis, ICE enforcement tactics, civil liberties concerns, and how immigration politics collide with public perception. They also dig into new polling showing economic anxiety shaping voter attitudes ahead of the midterms and why perception often matters more than the data. To close, the mood lightens with the coming Super Bowl culture clash, from Bad Bunny and Green Day to the rival conservative halftime event and why entertainment has become inseparable from politics. It is a conversation about power, media, and the modern American attention span. Many thanks to our advertiser, QUINCE!

Miranda hosts solo while Meghan is out on maternity leave, joined by Ben Ferguson and Christine Rosen for a wide-ranging and intense breakdown of one of the most chaotic political weeks yet. The panel dives into the fallout from violent incidents involving ICE and Border Patrol in Minnesota, the leadership scramble inside DHS, Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem pointing fingers, and why Republican trust in ICE just dropped eight points in two weeks. They debate whether this is a messaging failure, a tactics failure, or both, and what it means for the administration moving forward. The conversation then turns to rising political violence after Rep. Ilhan Omar was sprayed at a town hall and other recent attacks on public officials. The group discusses security failures, online radicalization, social media outrage culture, and why politicians across parties are becoming increasingly vulnerable targets. Finally, they shift to the looming Big Tech trial, where Meta and other platforms face lawsuits over alleged harm to children. Miranda, Ben, and Christine unpack what the case could mean for social media regulation, parental responsibility, algorithm design, and whether Silicon Valley can actually be held accountable. It’s a raw, unscripted conversation about institutional trust, digital addiction, political extremism, and the growing consequences of a hyper-online culture. Learn more about your ad choices.

Miranda had a kid emergency pop up literally 12 minutes before showtime, so Ryan Girdusky slid into the host chair at the last second while Meghan is still out on maternity leave. Because if you’re a parent, you already know how this goes. Ryan and political commentator Yemisi Egbewole dive into Usha Vance’s pregnancy and the White House baby boom, then break down the Nicki Minaj versus Don Lemon feud tied to the Minneapolis church protest and DOJ investigation. They also react to Michelle Obama’s appearance on ‘Call Her Daddy,’ debate whether Democrats can win with a woman at the top of the ticket in 2028, and dig into CBS’s internal shakeup, Gayle King’s reported salary scrutiny, and what it all says about the future of legacy TV news. Plus, Josh Shapiro’s new book revelations about Kamala Harris’ VP vetting process, Brooklyn Beckham’s viral family drama, and the unexpected Trump and Zohran Mamdani texting “bromance.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Miranda Wilkins hosts ‘Citizen McCain’ while Meghan McCain stays in her maternity leave baby bliss bubble. Miranda is joined by Fox News contributor Mary Katharine Ham, with Guy Benson popping in to break down the escalating ICE flashpoint in Minneapolis, including the tragic death of Renee Good and the debate over enforcement tactics, sanctuary policies, and public safety. They dig into why Minneapolis feels like ground zero right now, how sanctuary rules change the way ICE operates, and why the temperature keeps rising when activists and officials escalate in public. Plus, what the latest polling says about trust in ICE, how Democrats and Republicans are handling the messaging, and why more Gen Z and millennials are identifying as independents, even if they are not disengaged.
