October 23, 2025 U.K. Titles, U.S. Hot Takes, and One Very Cursed Doll (Annabelle Update)
Welcome to Citizen McCain! Subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/@CitizenMcCainYouTube. Today we dive into a packed lineup:
Maine Senate uproar: Democrat Graham Platner’s chest tattoo resembles the Nazi Totenkopf; he defends it as a random marine-liberty skull. We dissect the story, the Pod Save interview, and why this “drunken tattoo” defense doesn’t wash.
Heist of the year: The Louvre jewel robbery and the alleged “Pink Panther” gang... how did thieves waltz out at 9:30am?
Royal reckoning: With Lady Sarah Elliott on Prince Andrew’s titles (what “not using” actually means), Fergie’s duchess fallout, and how William may slim down the monarchy. We also talk Harry & Meghan’s rumored return and Kate’s recovery.
Guest interview: Erika Donalds (AFPI; founder, OptimaEd) on school choice, Florida’s next chapter, juvenile justice, being an interracial conservative family, and why the left’s identity attacks keep flopping.
Media & culture: Jen Psaki’s book-tour spin on Biden’s cognition, Dem messaging drift, DNC/RNC energy, Obama library aesthetics, and that eyebrow-raising Kristen Bell/Dax Shepard anniversary caption.
Annabelle update: Viewer Emily meets the infamous doll at ScareFest and tells us what the setup was like, whether anything… followed her home, and why the case is staying shut.

October 21, 2025 Diva Up: George Santos on Prison, Solitary & Second Chances (Plus NY Politics, Pop, and Sin City!)
Meghan and Miranda are joined by former Rep. George Santos, fresh out after 84 days served (including 41 days in solitary confinement) with his federal sentence commuted by President Trump. He walks us through the moment-to-moment reality of prison (moldy ceilings, expired food, the “shoe”), how he coped, who helped, and why he wants to channel the experience into prison reform and case review work (a la Alice Marie Johnson).
We also hit:
Why he says he was moved to solitary & how “protective custody” works.
Mental health, re-entry, and the very relatable first shower/La Mer/skincare binge!
NY politics: NYC mayoral race, congestion pricing, Kathy Hochul’s vulnerabilities, and whether Elise Stefanik could win statewide
Culture break: J.Lo’s historic box-office flop, Katy Perry + Trudeau rumor mill, and the “diva down/diva up” jokes.
On Kamala Harris’ book & Pete Buttigieg: do voters care about identity, or competency?
P.S. Miranda’s live from Las Vegas (yes, that Flamingo sign), and the Cheryl Hines interview is up now on YouTube — thanks for the love on that one.

Meghan opens with a family update on Cindy McCain and reacts to the return of Israeli hostages. Then former Biden White House comms chief of staff Yemisi Egbewole joins to dissect the Katie Porter viral clips, why Democrats keep losing the message war, and what a winning platform looks like (hint: focus on the monthlies - housing, food, utilities). They hit Spanberger vs. Winsome Sears, the Jay Jones text scandal, AIPAC tensions, and 2026. Plus: the pop-culture cool-down... Trudeau & Katy Perry, J.Lo’s musical misfire, and Denzel stories from the White House.

October 09, 2025 Israel, Autism & Broadway: Leland Vittert + Clay Aiken
Journalist Leland Vittert joins Meghan and Miranda to talk Israel, the post–October 7 climate, and why moral clarity still matters. He opens up about his book 'Born Lucky' - growing up autistic, bullying, tough-love parenting, and reflects on leaving Fox. They also talk about shutdown politics, and America’s reaction after the Charlie Kirk assassination, including the Roblox lawsuit over extremist content.
Then Meghan & Miranda break down Katie Porter’s viral interview walk-off, press accountability vs. thin skin, and what it signals about leadership temperament.
Finally, Clay Aiken goes behind the curtain on Broadway economics: why so many new shows aren’t recouping, when stunt-casting helps (and when it tanks a production), the Kennedy Center Honors lineup, and that viral Les Mis clip. Plus: Clay’s 17-year-old son completes his first solo flight.

October 07, 2025 Did Taylor Get Ophelia Wrong? Kennedy Weighs In + Ilya Shapiro vs. NYU
Meghan and Miranda welcome their old friend Kennedy (Fox News host, Kennedy Saves the World) for a spirited culture-and-politics rundown. They dive into Taylor Swift’s new album and why it feels more “product” than “poetry,” the Ophelia/Hamlet debate, the fan backlash over endless versions, and the Charli XCX dust-up (plus Sabrina Carpenter cameos, Lana/George Michael echoes, and more). They also hit Bad Bunny’s 'SNL' moment and Super Bowl chatter, the Riyadh Comedy Festival controversy (free speech vs. Saudi human-rights reality), and anxieties about NYC’s political direction.
Then Ilya Shapiro (Manhattan Institute; author of 'Lawless: The Miseducation of America’s Elites') joins to discuss his NYU talk being canceled... and then uncanceled. The attack of free speech on campus, antisemitism since October 7th, and which universities are actually handling protests and policy enforcement like adults.
