Clavicular Arrested, Patrick Clancy on 60 Minutes & Erin Ryan on Trump's Press Ban
Clavicular was arrested in Massachusetts, and Meredith and Rebecca break down why they're not surprised, what the escalating pattern of behavior looked like, and why The Bulwark broke the story. Then, Patrick Clancy and his new wife Rachel Danis went on 60 Minutes, and we dig into how 60 Minutes squeezed the juice from their interview, whether going public was a PR risk or a smart move, and why men move on so fast.
Hysteria host Erin Ryan joins to break down Trump's decision to ban MSNBC, CNN, and Politico from the White House press pool, why the press corps' decision not to send a replacement may be the media's best move yet, and what Natalie Harp's stranglehold on Trump tells us about who's really running the White House. Plus, Lauren Boebert's House Ethics Committee complaint alleging she slept with three staffers, and has anyone seen Susie Wiles?
Then, a recruiter on TikTok said Gen Z shouldn't bring iced coffee to job interviews, and the internet lost its mind. Meredith and Rebecca break down why they actually agree with her, why this is not the corporate hill to die on, and what they should actually be fighting for instead.
