Summary

Meghan is out on maternity leave after welcoming baby Ransom, so Miranda is in the driver’s seat with Daily Mail White House reporter Nikki Schwab and lawyer-comedian Seena Ghaznavi. They break down the stunning U.S. arrest of Venezuela’s sitting president Nicolás Maduro, what the legal and geopolitical fallout could look like, and why the story is raising serious Iraq-era warning signs. The panel digs into the wild Polymarket angle, where massive anonymous bets were placed just before the raid, and what “insider trading for war” could mean if anyone actually enforces it. Plus, Nikki shares Mar-a-Lago New Year’s Eve details and why the political optics around Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance are suddenly shifting. The group also reacts to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s appearance on ‘The View’ and her unfulfilled Epstein-files promises. Finally, they discuss Finland’s media literacy model and why AI misinformation may become the defining parenting challenge of the next decade. Learn more about your ad choices.
