Here’s what happened this week across all your favorite 2WAY shows....
We were joined by Mary Margaret Olohan, White House correspondent at The Daily Wire, and David Carlucci, former Democratic New York state senator, for a wide-ranging conversation on “2WAY Tonight.” Together, we examined the tragedy and aftermath of the Minnesota shooting, discussed the latest developments in Venezuela and Iran, and broke down President Trump’s ambitious plan to seize oil production from the Maduro regime — and much more. Thoughtful perspectives from both sides, all in one place.  THIS WEEKWith Meghan McCain on maternity leave, Miranda Wilkins stepped in to co-host “Citizen McCain,” alongside podcast host Seena Ghaznavi and Daily Mail Chief Political Campaign Correspondent Nikki Schwab.  ****Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio stopped by “The Moynihan Report” with Michael Moynihan.  ****“The Group Chat” kicked off 2026.  ****And if you have a moment, we encourage you to rewatch Wednesday’s episode of “2WAY Tonight.” We hosted a national town hall in the wake of the tragic shooting in Minneapolis — where a U.S. citizen was fatally shot by a federal ICE agent during a highly controversial law-enforcement operation that has sparked widespread debate and protests. It’s a powerful example of what 2WAY strives to be: a space where people with different perspectives can share their viewpoints with respect, dignity, and a genuine commitment to understanding one another.  “NEXT UP”On the latest episode of “Next Up,” I open with a reported monologue on what the Minnesota shooting reveals about America’s deep Red–Blue divide — and why the national reaction tells us as much about our political culture as the violence itself. I then dig into the immigration fight, explaining why anger at ICE misses the larger forces at play, before sitting down with Democratic strategist Hyma Moore and Republican strategist Jeff Roe to unpack where the battle goes next and the limits of political messaging in moments of real consequence. Plus: their war-gamed strategy for how to win over hearts and minds among Greenlanders. I close with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin on how the Trump administration is reshaping environmental policy in real time. Please download, subscribe, and share wherever you consume podcasts. Apple:
