Podcast appearances and mentions of Meghan McCain

Meghan McCain is holding down the fort while Miranda Wilkins continues recovering from shingles, and there is A LOT to get into. Ryan Girdusky joins Meghan to break down Republicans' increasingly ugly midterm picture, rising gas and grocery prices, what's going wrong in Texas, Mitch McConnell's return to Washington after 93 days out of public view, and the bizarre sight of Gavin Newsom and Jake Tapper attempting to convince America they know how to fly fish. Then Sarah Fraser joins for a very different kind of chaos. Meghan and Sarah get candid about motherhood, miscarriages, fertility, egg donation and why neither of them has any interest in becoming a sourdough-making trad wife. Then they dive into the disturbing scandal surrounding Kim Zolciak's family and the questions it raises for Bravo, the latest on Perez Hilton's recovery, and, because we apparently can't quit them, Harry and Meghan's messy new life back in the UK. Plus, why the “girlboss” era may have sold women a lie, what really matters when the career highs stop feeling so high, and Sarah commits the ultimate Citizen McCain sin: defending Meghan Markle.

Miranda Wilkins makes a shingles “proof of life” appearance before Meghan McCain dives into a packed show with Anang Mittal and Elisha Krauss. First, Meghan and Anang react to the racist backlash over Indian-American students celebrating a University of Texas football win and ask what the growing rhetoric on the right could mean for Republicans, JD Vance and Usha Vance. Then they tackle the AI panic: are the robots actually coming for us, or do Silicon Valley companies have their own reasons for warning that their technology is becoming dangerously powerful? Elisha Krauss joins to break down the Republican midterm convention, which Meghan compares to a “fake Gucci bag,” the “48” chants for JD Vance, Trump's $5,000 check proposal and whether Republicans are trying to crown their 2028 nominee years before voters have their say. Plus, the vandalized Charlie Kirk statue, Republicans' problems in Arizona, Harry and Meghan's new life back in the UK, and the one thing everyone can agree on: ‘Widow's Bay' deserves some Emmy love. Editor's Note: This episode was recorded Monday, September 14 at approximately noon ET, before the Emmy Awards and before Sen. Mitch McConnell returned to public view and the U.S. Senate later that day after a three-month absence. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Miranda Wilkins is out with shingles, Producer Ashley has the flu and COVID, and somehow Citizen McCain is still standing. With Miranda under strict orders to rest, Meghan McCain is joined by guest co-host Kristen "Colonel Kurtz" Lacefield, who's back after a six-month hiatus from YouTube and ready to sound off. Meghan and Kristen take on "Trump-a-palooza," MAGA's midterm strategy and a growing problem for Republicans: are they driving women away? From trad-wife culture and homeschooling to slut-shaming, "childless cat ladies" and the online right's increasingly hostile rhetoric toward women, they ask whether conservatives are making the same mistake with young women that Democrats made with young men. Then, Meghan and Kristen go head-to-head over the Lindsay Clancy case, the insanity defense, the divided jury and why the case has become such a cultural flashpoint. Plus, why Kristen disappeared from YouTube, why she's coming back, and why disagreeing with your friends shouldn't mean destroying the friendship. Learn more about your ad choices.

Meghan McCain and Miranda Wilkins are joined by longtime friend, conservative radio host and Verdict with Ted Cruz co-host Ben Ferguson for an episode that goes from true crime to Texas politics to midlife crisis cars faster than you can say "halfway to 90." First, the Lindsay Clancy case is back in the headlines, and the conversation gets heated. Meghan and Ben fiercely push back on the online movement defending Clancy and question whether the insanity defense has become a way to excuse the most horrific crimes. Miranda, who experienced medicated postpartum depression after the birth of her second daughter, offers a different perspective on mental illness, psychosis and why the three children at the center of the case cannot get lost in the debate. That leads to a larger conversation about crime, mental illness and public safety following the shocking random stabbing of a young mother in New York City. Plus, Meghan admits she's changed her mind about marijuana legalization after watching weed become virtually inescapable in cities like New York. Then it's off to Texas. Ben breaks down why Democrats continue pouring money into the state, whether James Talarico could actually pose a threat, why Meghan is nervous about Ken Paxton, and what turning Texas blue would mean for Republicans nationally. A Citizen McCain viewer even jumps in to challenge Ben's prediction and make the case that Republicans should be much more worried. And because this is Citizen McCain, there's also Ben's new midlife crisis dream car, Meghan's desperate desire for an Evel Knievel-inspired Bronco, Miranda's declaration that she's officially done with pants, spooky season excitement and a preview of some new Citizen McCain YouTube exclusives. Politics, crime, culture and chaos. Just another Wednesday at Citizen McCain. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Citizen McCain is going full pop culture. Meghan McCain and Miranda Wilkins are joined by No Filter host Zack Peter for a wild ride through the stories taking over the internet, from Britney Spears and the Lindsay Clancy trial to Bravo politics, Jax Taylor, the Kardashians, and the increasingly strange state of reality TV. First, Meghan and Miranda react to the ultimate immigration plot twist: Milo Yiannopoulos, after years of demanding aggressive immigration enforcement, was arrested by ICE and deported to the United Kingdom. Then Zack joins the show to weigh in on John Galliano's canceled Met Gala tribute and the latest deeply troubling developments surrounding Britney Spears. The conversation gets more serious as Zack breaks down the Lindsay Clancy trial, what the jury is actually being asked to decide, and why true crime culture has turned a horrific case into an online conspiracy factory. Can you acknowledge a mental health crisis while still holding someone responsible for an unthinkable crime? Then it's time for Bravo. Zack and Meghan take on Andy Cohen's response to fans complaining about "too many MAGA women" on The Real Housewives, debate whether conservative Housewives are held to a different standard, and ask a very important question: why isn't reality TV fun anymore? Plus, the disturbing allegations in Brittany Cartwright's restraining order against Jax Taylor, why the Kardashians may finally have run out of story, and much more. It's politics, pop culture, true crime, reality TV, and absolutely no filter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Senator Ted Cruz joins Meghan and Miranda for a wide-ranging conversation about his new book, Going Further: The Incomparable Clarence Thomas. Cruz shares stories from his decades-long friendship with Justice Thomas, his remarkable political evolution, and the experiences that shaped one of the most influential conservative figures in America. Cruz also gets personal about sending his daughter off to college and becoming an almost empty nester. Then, Citizen McCain's resident royal expert Lady Sarah Elliott breaks down why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may suddenly be looking back toward Britain. Have the Sussexes run out of cultural capital in America? Do their titles simply mean more in the UK? Could money, status, and their children's royal connections be pulling them back into the fold? And what happens to Harry and Meghan when Prince William eventually becomes king? Plus, Meghan and Miranda react to South Carolina's wild Senate race, Darline Graham's viral national security stumble, and plenty more after nearly three weeks away.

The MOU commits the United States to ensuring a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran, lifting all sanctions regardless of type, releasing all frozen Iranian assets, and allowing immediate oil sales upon signing. Iran's nuclear program and enriched uranium stockpile are left entirely unaddressed. Israel was excluded from the negotiations and is not a party to the agreement. The signing ceremony is scheduled for Friday. Critics cited in this video span the political spectrum, from Hudson Institute fellow Josh Block to Fox News contributor Andy McCarthy, who compared the deal to Neville Chamberlain's capitulation before World War II, to National Review editor Philip Klein, who called it money for nothing. Even Ben Domenech, husband of Meghan McCain, acknowledged the deal failed to achieve any of the stated objectives before spinning it as a win. The second story covers federal prosecutors in Minneapolis announcing a 94-page indictment against 15 individuals allegedly affiliated with Antifa. Hawk notes that Antifa is not a formal organization, that 75 percent of the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office staff quit earlier this year, and that the marquee piece of evidence presented at the press conference was a Facebook post reading "we need to become ungovernable." Half of similar cases brought by this DOJ have already been dismissed.

It's News Day Tuesday on The Majority Report. On today's program: Donald Trump has secured an illegal $1.7B slush fund from the Treasury that can be used however the president chooses and comes with ZERO oversight. At a Senate Budget Hearing for the DOJ, Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) gets under acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's skin simply by pointing out that he was Donald Trump's personal lawyer less than two years ago. Adam Serwer, author and staff writer at The Atlantic, joins the program to discuss the dismantling of the Voting Rights Act. In the Fun Half: More from Senator Chris Van Hollen's exchange with acting AG Todd Blanche at the Senate Budget Hearing. Carl Quintanilla mentions that Donald Trump has been day trading which sends Jim Cramer in to an apoplectic shock, I guess out of fear of reprimand from his Supreme Leader. Donald Trump claims the requested $1B for his ballroom is actually not for the ballroom, it's for the security around the ballroom. The ballroom is of course at no expense to the taxpayer, unless you count the $1B of tax dollars that are being used to build the ballroom. Zohran Mamdani takes a jab at Ronald Reagan during his speech announcing the construction of a city-run grocery store in the south Bronx. It appears that Artificial Intelligence is really doing a number on Jim Breuer's brain. Meghan McCain proves again that she is an awful person as she attacks Nicholas Kristoff's piece in the New York Times on the horrible abuse that Palestinian prisoners were subjected to at the hands of Israeli guards.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 82: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (3:00) SPECIAL COMMENT: Call me a cynic but I am beginning to get a sense that you may have some doubts about this Not-An-Assassination Attempt at The White House Correspondents Dinner. Well - that's what it was. Or in this case, what it wasn't. The acting attorney general says the alleged perp quote “was stopped before he got anywhere near the President.” So, NOT an assassination attempt, per the attorney general. But of course the White House is still trying to sell it as one (its 'protocol director' insists it was "the hand of God" again; its deputy chief of staff tried to start another 'USA!' chant after the incident). Even though proximity is the definition of such a nightmare scenario. Saturday Night? Obama had 15 of those. Still, among my fellow Americans who are NOT in the Trump Mass Hypnosis Cult, I may be in the minority because I DON’T think it was staged. Why are you so cynical? Just because an hour beforehand Karoline Leavitt told Fox quote “There will be some shots fired tonight!” That’s a coincidence. Just because Trump has gone insane about his quote “militarily top secret ballroom” and the next thing you know he’s GOING to a ballroom and after that the Secret Service screws up security AT the ballroom and after THAT he’s holding a press conference saying this is WHY he needs that ballroom and all his sock puppets are tweeting about the ballroom. Coincidence! Just because Trump and his filth have lied to you about every THING, every DAY, for 11 years… that’s no reason for you to think that was STAGED. It’s a coincidence! It’s all a coincidence. ALSO: for God's sake stop saying there's no room for violence in American politics and we don't resolve our differences this way! Certainly we all wish that were true. But in point of fact there's room for almost nothing BUT violence in American politics! Ask JFK, Reagan, Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Garfield, Lincoln, McKinley, dozens of others! What was the Civil War if not political violence? B-Block (28:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Staten Island cop who has reportedly amassed more than 500 speeding tickets, and last year averaged one every other day. Jeff Bezos' Washington Post will only print a letter to the editor responding to its editorial if the authors take out the references TO Jeff Bezos. And Tom Cotton makes a hilarious mistake: Iran will meet its match not on the battlefield but at the bargaining table because it's never faced the author of "Art Of The Deal." Who's gonna tell him? C-Block (41:00) MONDAYS WITH THURBER: We need a break from media people talking about themselves so let's drop "Things I Promised Not To Tell" and instead read you his wonderful, weird, slightly spooky "The Black Magic Of Barney Haller."

Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss a Wisconsin sheriff who recently held a press conference to falsely imply that a man was arrested for posting a satirical meme of the sheriff with Star of David symbols on his forehead—a clear attempt to conflate mockery with anti-Semitism and criminalize protected speech.  Jimmy points out that a community note corrected the record: the man was actually arrested on an unrelated outstanding felony stalking warrant, not for the meme. He ridicules the sheriff's claim that he "signed up for this" while whining about drawings, and notes the absurdity of threatening legal action over satire while the First Amendment explicitly protects political mockery.  The segment concludes that this story reflects a broader effort to normalize censorship of Israel criticism under the guise of fighting anti-Semitism. Plus segments on Jon Stewart pressing former State Department official Jake Sullivan on the U.S.'s involvement in the Syrian dirty war, the New York Times acknowledging that the Iranian protests last January were fomented by Mossad, Candace Owens sharing texts from Charlie Kirk revealing what he really thought of Meghan McCain and Dan Bongino being publicly confronted about protecting pedophiles. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! Plus a phone call from Kash Patel!
