    You could have explained the difference between freedom 250 which is a Trump thing and America 250. There was a chunk of money allocated by Congress for America 250.. What happened to it? And why did they allow Trump to take over? he doesn’t care and probably thinks this is a “yawn.” Iykyk

  • Insufferable

    I have liked Meghan McCain for since watching her differing perspectives on The View. But every single podcast, her absolute tailspin anxiety around Israel is nauseating…and I support Israel! It’s just too much. And her cohost literally contributes nothing. Not sure why she is on the show?? Meghan McCain has perspectives to share, but this isn’t working. Unsubscribe.

    The show lost me when Miranda didn’t seem to have an issue with people burning Tesla’s because they were insured. Meghan didn’t push back.
