Summary

Miranda Wilkins hosts ‘Citizen McCain’ while Meghan McCain stays in her maternity leave baby bliss bubble. Miranda is joined by Fox News contributor Mary Katharine Ham, with Guy Benson popping in to break down the escalating ICE flashpoint in Minneapolis, including the tragic death of Renee Good and the debate over enforcement tactics, sanctuary policies, and public safety. They dig into why Minneapolis feels like ground zero right now, how sanctuary rules change the way ICE operates, and why the temperature keeps rising when activists and officials escalate in public. Plus, what the latest polling says about trust in ICE, how Democrats and Republicans are handling the messaging, and why more Gen Z and millennials are identifying as independents, even if they are not disengaged.
