Summary

Meghan and Miranda kick off the show reacting to the bombshell news: The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is coming to an end. Miranda’s not shocked... she’s been calling it for weeks and breaks down exactly how she saw it coming. Then journalist and friend of the show Salena Zito joins to talk about her gripping new book, Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America’s Heartland. She shares how that moment changed the country, the media, and possibly Trump himself, and why the press still refuses to face the truth. Finally, the girls serve up a fresh Annabelle update (because of course the demon doll is still causing chaos), and side-eye RFK Jr. for hiking Camelback Mountain during a brutal Arizona heatwave. From late-night exits to high-stakes political shifts, it’s a jam-packed episode you don’t want to miss.
