Summary

Meghan and Miranda open the show with huge news they’ve been teasing all week: Meghan’s scored an exclusive interview with Second Lady Usha Vance — oh, and she and Ben are expecting their third baby! Then they’re joined by Iran policy expert Alireza Jafarzadeh to break down the latest on the escalating Iran crisis. He explains why regime change must come from within — but the U.S. can’t afford to stand on the sidelines. Meghan and Miranda also debate this weekend’s strikes on Iran as Republicans like Rubio and J.D. Vance close ranks around the president, while AOC and others raise legal questions. And veteran TV producer and journalist Daniella Greenbaum joins to give her perspective on Israel and preview what’s at stake in NYC mayoral race.
