Summary

Meghan and Miranda kick off with breaking horror news: Annabelle is reportedly on the loose in Maine, just as 'The Conjuring: Last Rites' tops the box office. Chaos? Check. Then they welcome Fox News’ Guy Benson to unpack the horrific murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, and the stunning silence from the mainstream media. Was the lack of coverage racially motivated? They don’t hold back. From there, it’s a full dive into the soft-on-crime policies fueling voter outrage, and how the rise of Zohran Mamdani is reshaping the New York mayoral race, and the future of the Democratic Party. Plus, they couldn’t skip the viral moment of the week: “Phillies Karen” has entered the meltdown hall of fame. And yes, the trad-family movement is having a moment, and it’s not just online.
