Meghan McCain's podcast is already filled with verbal barbs sharper than the spines on her beloved pet cactus.

The former View cohost, staunch conservative, self-proclaimed "rabble rouser," and Princess of Arizona unleashed her signature fury Thursday on the second episode of her Meghan McCain Has Entered the Chat podcast, when she took aim at the host of Late Night With Seth Meyers four years after the pair engaged in a heated exchange on the nightly talk show.

"Speaking of late-night stuff, I went on Seth Meyers and it was one of the worst experiences of my life, truly," the 38-year-old host told guest politician Ted Cruz during a conversation about media criticism, referencing the infamous interview that angered her spouse, controversial writer Ben Domenech, so much that he launched a social media attack against Meyers at the time that some deemed to be homophobic.

"My husband tweeted that the only reason he had a show was that he gargled [Late Night executive producer] Lorne Michaels' balls," McCain continued. "It was a horrific experience, and he can go to hell forever."

EW has reached out to representatives for Meyers for comment.

McCain touched on a variety of topics during her 2019 Late Night appearance, but things didn't get heated until Meyers brought up Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, whom McCain had criticized for making comments about Israel that many called anti-Semitic.

Meyers asked McCain if she thinks people need to "be more careful" while talking about Omar, and suggested that he disagreed with McCain calling Omar's views out "after she apologized for it" already.

"I stand by every single thing I've said, and if that makes me unpopular in this room or in front of you, so be it," McCain said, before growing visibly annoyed after Meyers asked her if there was a way to talk about "differences in Israeli policy" without being called anti-Semitic.

When McCain again cited Omar's words as the wrong way to go about criticizing Israeli people, Meyers stopped her. "You do keep bringing up the two tweets that she's apologized for, and I think that's a little unfair to her," Meyers said.

"Are you her publicist?" McCain replied, scoffing. "Are you her press person?"

Domenech eventually walked back his comments about Meyers in response to the interview. "I apologize for rage-tweeting about how Seth Meyers treated her," he said. "I don't like him, I think he's a hack, but I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry to anyone I offended."

Listen to McCain's thoughts on Meyers at around the 31:25 mark on her podcast above.
