Summary

The results are in. Meghan hosts two conversations with guests from both sides of the aisle, analyzing the recent election results and the shifting landscape of American politics. First, Meghan and Miranda talk about their feelings regarding Vice President Harris' loss and what they think a second Trump administration might look like. Then, Meghan and Ben Ferguson explore the influence of Hispanic voters, the media’s role in shaping public perception, and the cultural changes affecting political leanings. They address underreported issues like crime and safety, the elitism seen in celebrity-driven politics, and the future of bipartisan understanding. In the second discussion, Meghan and Dan Turrentine evaluate Democratic strategies, the potential impact of a Trump administration, and the need for the party to reconnect with working-class Americans.

Megan McCain has entered the chat. Welcome back to Citizen McCain. We didn't have our usual schedule this week because obviously the election was happening. And I just want to say first and foremost to everyone that we, I always want to show grace and love and compassion to everyone on all sides.

0:45.4

Elections are hard. This one was particularly hard. A lot of my friends, including wonderful co-host, Miranda, are very upset this morning. I have other friends who are very excited, very happy.

0:55.3

I have other friends who are like me that are sort of like, you know, scared and and just sort of

1:01.8

numb. Like I'm not, I'm not petrified and I'm not happy. I'm sort of just like in the,

1:07.8

in purgatory. Because I wasn't like pulling super hard for her to win either um but

1:14.0

i just want to work through uh a little bit first i just want to say to all the people listening

1:18.3

because we know because we've done data on it i know that a lot of people listening are

1:22.9

independent center right center left we do not have a partisan audience. I am not Candace Owens. We have a

1:29.8

beautiful cornucopia of people who listen to us of all different persuasions. And I love and respect and

1:36.3

accept anyone who wants to believe anything within reason on this show. And when I say that,

Miranda, I just want to ask you how you're feeling. I was texting our text chain last night.

2:09.8

I'm in my room. I don't know what I'm feeling because I'm in shock, but in a different way than I was in 2016 when Hillary lost because I didn't know what to expect with a Donald Trump presidency.

2:32.1

Because I knew people who knew him personally who said he's a great

2:37.9

guy, give him a chance, he's a wonderful businessman. And so I was more cautiously optimistic

2:45.5

the first time around. And I just thought he was a goofball and who you know stuck his foot in his mouth

2:52.5

sometimes but um this time around it's kind of like we know he's he's dangerous and we know

2:59.8

that he's kind of like um not not the brightest guy in the world we've seen how he'll throw his own people under the bus. So I'm not hopeful for a positive four years. So I'm in a bad headspace.
