Normally Podcast: Iran Uprising, Transgender Sports, Anti-Semitism & Trump’s Legacy

In this episode of Normally, hosts Mary Katharine Ham and Karol Markowicz tackle some of the most explosive political and cultural issues shaping America and the world. The conversation begins with the uprising in Iran, examining whether U.S. and international military intervention could accelerate regime change and what’s really at stake for the Middle East.

They also confront the disturbing rise in anti-Semitism across the West and what it reveals about modern progressive politics. From there, Ham and Markowicz dive into the transgender athletes in women’s sports debate, breaking down the Supreme Court’s handling of gender definitions and why it could permanently reshape Title IX and women’s athletics.

The episode also explores California’s proposed wealth tax, asking whether it would actually raise revenue or push even more businesses and taxpayers out of the state. Finally, they reflect on the mixed legacy of the Trump administration, weighing its major successes against its biggest missed opportunities.
