Summary
Mary Katharine Ham, a Fox News contributor and former CNN commentator, sits down with Bridget for a frank yet fun conversation about whether or not either one of them will vote for Trump. The decision rests not on a choice between Trump and Kamala, but a choice about whether or not they can bring themselves to vote for Trump, even though they low key want him to win because the policies and principles of the Harris/Walz campaign are so distasteful to them. They cover the realignment of the political parties, whether January 6th plays a role in people’s decision making, how the erosion of public trust will affect confidence in the results of the election, and why the number of women in their demographic who are considering voting for Trump is actually larger than you might think. They also discuss Mary Katharine’s experiences with loss, faith, motherhood, resilience and navigating the constant news cycle.

| 0:35.1 | Who let you out of the kitchen, woman? |
| 0:38.1 | So I am a Fox News contributor, as I tell lay people, I'm one of those people who argues about politics and news of the day on TV and radio. |
| 0:49.0 | I have in the past been a CNN commentator for years so I've done duty at sort of two different networks. |
| 0:58.0 | A very different feel at both obviously ideologically I'm right of center, sort of |
| 1:04.2 | of libertarian-ish and was a bit of a fish out of water at CNN, definitely |
| 1:11.6 | more comfortable over at Fox, |
| 1:13.8 | although one of the ways I became a mouthy broad |
| 1:16.6 | is because I relish discussing things with people |
| 1:20.9 | who disagree with me. |
| 1:22.0 | It doesn't actually bother me and never has because I grew up in a very, very liberal town and sort of evolved in an environment where I was just sort of poking the general assumptions a lot. |
| 1:37.8 | And I didn't know that that was an ideological position. |
