  “Meghan Markle, she wants to talk about racial justice. She didn’t even want to admit she was black until she had to.” [09:50]

4. Kamala 2028? Senator Mark Kelly Weighs In

[21:45 – 22:45]

• Lauren becomes a tongue-in-cheek “Katie Porter stan”:

• Relishes her villain persona, compares her to a Batman antagonist.

• Plays and critiques a viral video of Dylan Mulvaney promoting a show while dressed as Jesus.
