The new Fox News Podcasts series “the Girls” launched with a candid, no‑holds‑barred conversation among five prominent women. Hosts Harris Faulkner, Rachel Campos‑Duffy, Kat Timpf, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo secretary Melissa DeRosa, and former ESPN anchor Samantha Ponder tackled a range of topics from true‑crime to parenting.
True‑crime focus
Samantha Ponder opened the discussion with the case of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother whose trial for the murder of her three young children ended in a mistrial last month. “If I’m a mom and this has been done to my kids, I want this woman put away forever,” Ponder said, underscoring the emotional intensity of the case.
Children’s entertainment under scrutiny
The panel then turned to the political activism of children’s entertainer Ms. Rachel. Kat Timpf defended the singer, noting she simply performs songs and that personal taste varies: “I still listen to Michael Jackson… I grew up listening to Nirvana. I love Kurt Cobain. I wore flannel. I’ve yet to shoot up heroin,” she added.
Harris Faulkner raised a parental‑rights question, asking whether parents should consider the political views of online personalities. “When she says she wants to do away with ICE, when she says she’s more for letting those people come across our border illegally, when she says those things — why do I know that about her?” Faulkner asked.
Personal reflections on loss
Kat Timpf also shared a personal story, recalling her father’s sudden death from an aortic dissection just before she became pregnant with her second child. She reflected on the fragility of health and the impact of loss, noting her mother also died before age 60 and that she battled cancer during her first pregnancy.
