Summary

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.
