## Resource

Meghan McCain is back from maternity leave and officially returns to Citizen McCain with Miranda Wilkins and guest S.E. Cupp for a wide-ranging conversation on everything she missed and everything that somehow got even crazier while she was gone. Meghan shares what life has been like after welcoming baby Ransom, why returning from maternity leave feels like being shot out of a cannon, and why she is grateful for the time and support to be home with her family. Then the show dives into the biggest headlines, including rising anxiety over Iran, mixed messaging from the Trump administration, Lindsey Graham’s war talk, and why so many Americans still feel confused about what the actual strategy is. Also in this episode: Kristi Noem’s exit from DHS and the chaos around her firing Airport shutdown fallout, TSA line nightmares and what that means for summer travel The increasingly absurd conservative podcast wars Why Meghan, Miranda and S.E. feel politically homeless in today’s climate A quick detour into Bravo, Ryan Murphy, political sex scandals and why none of this feels normal anymore Meghan is back, the group chat energy is restored, and the chaos is very much still here.
