Megan McCain has entered the chat.

Welcome back to Megan McCain has entered the chat. So I'm here, like I am every day with my executive producer,

Miranda Wilkins. So Miranda, when we started this podcast, we had a list of people we want to

interview. And crazily enough, quite a few of them are coming on. And one of those people was

Congressman George Santos because he is a very controversial household name in politics. And we just asked

our producer Kara to reach out to his team. And he said yes. As I mentioned in the

announcement of my podcast, my goal here is to offer a safe environment for people of all backgrounds.

While I may not agree with everything they say here or have done, I believe that they should have the opportunity to share their side of the story.

Plenty of reputable reporters and publications have interviewed controversial elected officials and even those

with charges against them. I plan to do the same. So we as listeners have the chance to make our

own choices on how we view them. Thank you. Welcome back. I'm just going to get into it. Congressman George Santos, when I was launching this podcast with Miranda, who you've met, we made a list of gets of people we really wanted to have on the show just because we thought they were really fascinating people in politics and culture. And you were on the list because we're all just so interested in your career,

and you have really fascinating viral moments, like one that just happened recently.

So I just want to thank you for coming today.

Absolutely.

I mean, the invitation came, and we were excited.

I was like, wait, Megan McCain is doing something.

And Gabrielle from my team goes like, yeah.

I'm like, do you know who Megan McCain is? She's

like, maybe. I said, that's John McCain's daughter. And she's like, oh, the one that was on the

view. And then we had that moment. She's like, oh, my God. I'm like, yeah, no, she's, is she doing this

alone or is there an element of whoopee and joy here? Because I wouldn't come if there was that element. It's just me. Have you been asked on the view?

Multiple times.
