Citizen McCain with Meghan McCain

Why do elite media outlets keep fumbling the moment? From CNN to MSNBC to The View, legacy newsrooms are bleeding credibility—and audiences. Meghan and Miranda are joined by Breaker Media’s Lachlan Cartwright, whose reporting on Jake Tapper’s behind-the-scenes Hunter Biden drama is shaking up the Beltway. They dig into: – The media’s role in covering for Biden – Democrats’ awkward attempts to win back men – Rachel Maddow’s $25M one-day-a-week deal – The View’s political pivot (and legal headaches) – And France’s First Lady delivers a headline-making slap Also: Are MSNBC hosts just Resistance LARPers now? Is Ari Melber heading for the exit? And yes… the Annabelle doll is still wreaking havoc on her national tour.

Meghan and Miranda get into the messy truth behind Jake Tapper’s Biden book bombshell. What did he know, when did he know it, and why did he wait to cash in? They unpack the gross optics of journalists profiting off stories they sat on, and how it’s eroding public trust. Puck’s Chief Washington Correspondent Leigh Ann Caldwell joins to break down how this is landing in Washington and with everyday voters. Oh, and don’t worry, we’ve got a crucial update on America’s most haunted traveler: Annabelle the Demon Doll is on tour, and the vibes are cursed.

This week, Meghan and Miranda are joined by POLITICO’s Rachel Bade to unpack the breaking news of former President Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis... and what this means for the already-chaotic Democratic primary.

Edelman joins the show to break down Trump’s headline-grabbing Middle East tour. Is it a legacy move… or just another gold-plated photo op?

Meghan and Miranda are joined by Michael Knowles of The Daily Wire to break down the juiciest scoops from Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's Biden tell-all — including what Team Biden really thinks about Kamala, and why the DNC may be secretly regretting their support of activist-turned-poster-child David Hogg. Spoiler: they’re eating their own. Also: is Mayor Pete quietly plotting a 2028 comeback? We read between the lines of his recent not-so-subtle teases.

Is America finally over the Kardashians?

Meghan is joined by Mary Katharine Ham to dig into the latest on the China tariff easement deal—will it actually cool down the trade wars or is it just smoke and mirrors?
