Summary

Meghan and Miranda are back from Thanksgiving and diving straight into the deep end. CNN’s Scott Jennings joins from the University of Virginia to talk about his new book A Revolution of Common Sense, what Trump 2.0 is really like behind the scenes, and how he survives as a lone conservative voice on CNN’s nightly debate show. They also unpack his now-viral on-air clash with Dylan Douglas (yes, the son of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas) and the gossip reports that the Hollywood power couple tried to blacklist CNN afterward. Plus: JD Vance 2028, Cory Booker’s wedding strategy theory, and Trump’s slipping approval rating. Then Meghan opens up about the National Guard shooting in DC and a massive Somali social-services fraud scandal in Minnesota, and why both have radically shifted her views on immigration and security. She calls for Governor Tim Walz to resign and explains why she refuses to let America “turn into the U.K.” In the back half, it’s the debut of “Mile High Meltdown.” The ladies react to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy scolding Americans for wearing pajamas on planes, women getting kicked off flights for booty shorts and crop tops, and passengers bounced over obscene anti-Trump and pro-Trump shirts. Why airports abide by "Vegas Rules,” whether sweatpants can be classy, and why kindness to flight attendants and TSA should be non-negotiable. Plus: Quince and Cozy Earth Cyber Monday obsessions, bougie sheets that ruin you for all other bedding, and Miranda’s rule that bare butts and airplane seats should never meet.
