Just a few months after her much discussed departure from The View, Meghan McCain has no regrets about leaving her life in New York City behind for greener pastures.
The self-proclaimed rabble rouser is joining the Daily Mail family as a columnist, and the 36-year-old exclusively sat down with DailyMailTV host Thomas Roberts to talk about what's in store.
Meghan says she is looking for three simple things in the next chapter of her career, opportunities that are 'meaningful and impactful and make me happy.'

McCain's new opinion column with DailyMail.com was announced last week and will provide space for the political commentator and author to lay out her take on the news, no-holds-barred, twice a week.
All too aware that her often fiery POV has gotten her into heated discussions and downright feuds in the past, Meghan revealed that she's made peace with the notion that she will undoubtedly ruffle feathers no matter what she does.
'People really love fighting with me and I've come to terms with the fact that people love me and love to hate me,' Meghan admitted. 'I really have gotten to a place where I'm comfortable with that.'
She's outspoken, opinionated and has a history working as a columnist, Meghan began her career in media writing a column for The Daily Beast, making her a perfect addition to the Daily Mail brand.
'People really love fighting with me and I've come to terms with the fact that people love me and love to hate me,' Meghan admitted. 'I really have gotten to a place where I'm comfortable with that.'
'I just thought it was such an interesting opportunity to work for a news site that I know, for a fact, incredibly powerful politicians read, my girlfriends from high school read,' Meghan said.
'That's what I love about the Daily Mail [it] runs the gamut of audiences. I feel like everybody in America reads it and the traffic numbers don't lie,' she continued. 'Being able to have that kind of platform is just - I don't know - I couldn't say no. So I'm really excited.'
The column will be her first big gig back in media after a very brief hiatus at the end of the summer when she quit The View. Meghan left the long running daytime show in August, following a successful, newsmaking four-year run at the hot topics table.

'After The View, like post-View, I really want to do things that I think are meaningful and impactful and make me happy,' Meghan revealed. 'And this, working for this company, really hit all three checkmarks.'
Fireworks were frequent with her co-hosts on The View, and the show is no longer the talk of social media or dominating the headlines without her, but her departure had less to do with the goings on of the show and more to do with her family of three finding a permanent home in Washington D.C.
'When I think about where I want Liberty to take her first steps and her first words, I just have this wonderful life here that I felt ultimately like I didn't want to leave,' McCain explained. Meghan and her husband Ben Domenech welcomed their first child together in 2020.
