France is erupting in violent riots, historic buildings are burning, and President Emmanuel Macron is facing growing criticism over his response. On this episode of Normally, Mary Katharine Ham and Karol Markowicz break down the escalating unrest in France, the role of immigration and failed integration policies, the financial strain of Europe's welfare state, and whether Marine Le Pen could benefit from the political backlash.
Back in Washington, the ladies examine Senator Elissa Slotkin's controversial warning about working for the Trump administration, renewed scrutiny surrounding Rep. Ilhan Omar, and the growing debate over political retaliation and government weaponization. They also discuss Joe Manchin campaigning for Republican Senator Susan Collins, Maine Democrat Troy Jackson's contentious interview with CNN's Dana Bash, and Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's response to questions about the Muslim Brotherhood.
Plus, Elon Musk floats an extraordinary proposal to give American children SpaceX stock, sparking a conversation about capitalism, innovation, flying cars, and why some critics seem determined to root against the billionaire entrepreneur.
From riots in Europe to political battles in America and the future of technology, Mary Katharine and Karol bring their signature humor, sharp analysis, and common-sense perspective to another week of news gone weird.
