Summary

Sara Haines sits down with executive producer Brian Teta to explain why she believes Tucker Carlson apologizing for misleading people and speaking out against President Trump doesn’t earn him a pass. She also weighs in on the Texas law being upheld that requires the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms and shares why she strongly disagrees with it. The conversation turns personal as Sara opens up about parenting and other areas in life where she explains why she’s comfortable being “good enough” rather than striving for perfection. She also reflects on whether she considers herself a thrill seeker—and how that mentality shows up in both her personal life and career. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:51.0	You've been really outspoken about not giving people like Tucker Carlson and to
