It's the Media Buzz Meter with Howard Kurtz.

This edition of Media BuzzMeter, very special guest, Mary Catherine Hamm,

and the thing that I want to start with, everybody wants to know.

How do you handle being a Fox commentator, a writer, a podcaster at Getting Hammered,

teaching in Hillsdale College, and you've got four kids? Well, a writer, a podcaster at Getting Hammered, teaching in Hillsdale College,

and you've got four kids.

Well, number one, I very much recommend having a very competent husband who can handle a lot of

things when you're off doing stuff.

So I applaud him, number one, really key in the process.

And also, I'm appreciative of all of my different employers allowing me to have a

somewhat flexible schedule, which means I can be there in the odd times that kids need you for school

productions or for, you know, picking them up early from school and that kind of thing. That has always

been a real gift of my career as I've gone through. Yeah, you've got to be there for the kids.

You can't just reschedule some of that stuff.

So let's start with Iran.

And I think I'm put it diplomatically when I say we're getting certain mixed messages from President

Trump and his team.

The latest, if you look at the last 24 hours, seems to be, well, the war will be over any time I want. You said it would be over soon. Are you thinking this week it will be over? No, but soon. I think so. Okay. And with respect to- Very soon. Look, everything they have is gone, including their leadership. He's even sort of hinting them, yeah, maybe the next 15 minutes. What's going on with that?

I think as a very unconventional president, we haven't seen the conventional Oval Office address.

I wish that we would. I understand that in the character of Donald Trump inherent to the part

where he does bomb Iran is not included necessarily the conventional Oval Office address.

But I think it's helpful to the American people and they deserve it just to have an idea of exactly what the plan is here, not operationally, but the vision.
