Summary

Meghan and Miranda get into the messy truth behind Jake Tapper’s Biden book bombshell. What did he know, when did he know it, and why did he wait to cash in? They unpack the gross optics of journalists profiting off stories they sat on, and how it’s eroding public trust. Puck’s Chief Washington Correspondent Leigh Ann Caldwell joins to break down how this is landing in Washington and with everyday voters. Oh, and don’t worry, we’ve got a crucial update on America’s most haunted traveler: Annabelle the Demon Doll is on tour, and the vibes are cursed.
