Mary Katharine Ham

[upbeat music] Hello, everybody, and welcome to another episode of Getting Hammered.

I am your host, Mary Katharine Ham.

I am here with my cohost, Vic Matis of the Washington Free Beacon.

We're your morning show for any hour.

We are back on Normally, the show with normal-ish takes for when the news gets weird.

I'm Mary Katharine Ham.

I'm Carol Markowitz.

How was your weekend, Mary Katharine?

We have to make sure that we show the same level of support to Black women who kill their children as we do to white women who kill their children.

I saw Mary Katharine Ham tweet that this is the kind of extreme parody that you would see made up because it's so ridiculous.

I w- if you watch the video, all of the w- it's almost all women in the crowd.

All of them are nodding their head and cheering along with the, "We have to give the same level of support to Black women who kill their kids" argument This is cra- th- you wanna talk about mass delusion, I think there's entire books that can be written about women deciding that they're going to give their empathy to moms who murder their children.

I'm Mary Katharine Ham.

I'm Carol Markowitz, and we're gonna try to not have a super depressing show today, even though we're going to be talking about the 25-year anniversary of 9/11 and the one-year anniversary of the murder of Charlie Kirk.

But we're going to be hopeful and forward-looking and, you know, light as possible.

Kicking Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait in 1991 and leaving a residual presence in Saudi Arabia at the invitation of the host government, Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.

This is the logic that she's bringing to Congress.

Adam Hamawi, who's in New Jersey, 12, is also going to be sent to Congress, most likely.

His claim to fame is serving as a character witness on behalf of the blind sheik, Abdul Rahman, the architect of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan could be headed to the Senate, and he has surrounded himself with figures like Hassan Piker, who said explicitly that America deserves 9-11.

And Hamas is the more authoritative moral party in the conflict with Israel.

On and on it goes.

We're not talking about debates over marginal tax rates here.

I am Mary Katharine Ham.

I am Kara Marcowicz.

How are you, Mary Katharine? How is your Labor Day going?

I'm good.

Football's back, so that's very fun.

One, staging costs are extraordinary, and the framing for the Republicans have to be good.

But you can always ask Ben Dominic or Matt Continetti or Hugh Hewitt to come over and join, or Mary Katherine Hamm, or someone like...

You can mix it up.

There are no rules here.

Hey guys, we are back on Normally, the show with normal-ish takes for when the news gets weird.

I'm Mary Katharine Ham.

I'm Carol Markowitz.

How are you, Mary Katharine? Is it Friday?

I've got lots of good guests.

John Podhortz is coming up.

Mary Catherine Hamm.

A lot of good people coming up today.

I'm going to start, though, with an admonition that what you think you know absolutely may not be true.

And now the primary electorate has chosen someone who is potentially so off-putting to the swing voters of Michigan, who just a couple of years ago elected Trump, that that could be a real pickup opportunity for Republicans that I just don't think anybody had on their bingo card a couple of years ago.

And I don't think Susan Collins is vulnerable.

And I think New Hampshire is in play.
