How do you look at races like Texas and Michigan, for example?

Well, first of all, Texas should have never been at play, and the fact that it is this tight, I cannot, and I will attest, my entire family now on my dad's side lives in Texas, and I cannot for the life of me understand how any God-fearing good Texan is going to go out and vote for James Tallarico.

So that brings into my first question.

Do we believe the polling data that we're seeing out of Texas? And if so, I think what we're seeing is the president is hedging his bets and has visited Texas a number of times.

He has two stops today.

And the other thing that the president has done that no other president has done on the midterms is he's delivering for each especially tight race state, but across the country, actual measurable results.

So what he just said when he touched down was that he and Secretary Rubio would be receiving the first what do you call it, batch or delivery of Venezuelan oil, a deal that he negotiated for 65 billion barrels of oil from Venezuela, a historic deal, something that would have never happened without President Trump and what he did with Maduro and what he's also been able to do with the existing government right now.

And not only did I mention that, Katie, but, you know, I mentioned Michigan, but you've got also Abdul El-Sayed, who's up there, and he has enthusiastically supported the abolish ICE position and continues to do so, even while he's been desperately trying to paint himself as more of a moderate.

Why did you claim to be a lawyer when you never passed the bar exam?

Listen, it doesn't matter if you pass the bar and become a lawyer if you know the law.

And despite not having the title, I am 100% fluent in legal-ish.

Okay, then what is habeas corpus?

Oh, habeas corpus.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what Harry Potter yells when he kills Voldemort.

Happy birthday.

[laughs] And he, um, w- we got pregnant and we decided, "All right.

Well, we're gonna stay in the United States, and we are not gonna move back abroad," 'cause that was still an option.

We were considering maybe Singapore or somewhere.

My husband is more than fluent in, in Mandarin and very, very good with the b- business culture in Asia and in, particularly in China and Chinese-speaking countries.

So that was still an option on the table that we might move abroad, and when we got pregnant, we, in short order, he found a job.

We got health insurance, which was kind of important in having a baby, and we had four kids in six years, so 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020.

How are you gonna balance that out?

Why is that?

Well, Greg, I love the midterms, actually.

The presidentials are so fun.

I worked in the White House Office of Political Affairs in 2006 as a baby college intern.

And this was Bush and Karl Rove, okay? And watching what President Trump has done with these midterms this year.

So this is essentially the same place in 2006 as now President Trump is in 2026 in his second term.

And he has revitalized The Republican party for the last decade, we were a party that was absolutely dying on the vine and those midterms in 2006 were sleepy and boring.

And maybe they really do believe that.

But what'd you think last night, Katie? Welcome back.

Well, first of all, it's so nice to see a Republican holding a Democrat in California accountable, right? We don't get this.

The only person who's actually taken to the leadership in California has been President Trump time and time and time again.

Vice President Vance with his anti-fraud task force time and time again.

But now we have finally a gubernatorial candidate who's actually holding Javier Becerra not just accountable, but on live CNN.

I mean, that had to be so embarrassing.

For Becerra, this is just a Trump talking point.

Your thoughts on that, final one.

What do you make of these political leaders who are also slow on that space?

You know, I think slow is one way to put it.

And I also think similar to Bernie Sanders, who had floated the Green News scam, our own Gavin Newsom, who wants to who signed an executive order that's a governor of California to have a kill switch.

in California for what he also signed an executive order calling it artificial intelligence after President Trump signed one for super intelligence.

And I think that it goes to a wider problem.

And I really believe that it's not understanding or it is understanding and not wanting America to lead that China is extremely, will be extremely hostile leader in innovation if they get this lead.

And I feel for any world leader, they are either rooting for China to win, like for instance, I believe Bernie Sanders was rooting for China to win by really embracing the green new scam where you have solar panel, you have wind turbines, and we stopped building nuclear.

At a time, though, Katie, when the U.S. is at war with Iran, what do you make of this? Well,

Katie.

It, it, it is a privilege, not a right, Dan.

And listen, I, I, I love this footage because what it does is it puts the facts right on full display.

Let the facts be submitted to a candid world.

Where there is outrage, let's just roll the tape to show them where they have been outraged and where they backed their own president doing this.

And so what President Trump has done, and, and we, we must, and we cannot forget, but we must go back to Russiagate.

The New York Times and Washington Post received Pulitzer Prizes for their Russiagate reporting, which has now been completely debunked, and yet they have failed to give back their Pulitzer Prizes.

Nope.

Did you ever think we would see a Republican candidate scolding President Trump in front of the White House?

Well, it's absolutely no shock, considering she wanted to introduce the Dignidad in Spanish, not even Dignity, Dignidad Act, Matt.

And this just goes to the overall character of her, to take his endorsement, knowing that would secure her in her primary 100% in Florida, and then to almost... to immediately turn around and betray President Trump after his endorsement, after he came out to support her, is very indicative of the fact that she's really not in line with the Republican Party at all.

If the introduction of the Dignidad Act wasn't a betrayal of every person who voted for President Trump and every person who's voted Republican in America, This really solidifies it.

And I hope Florida holds her accountable, because this type of behavior, Matt, is disgusting.

And we can't have it in the Republican Party.

Republicans want deportations.

How should Republicans in close races talk about immigration and public safety and President Trump's agenda on these important matters?

What the hell is going on with women in this nation standing up for Lindsay Clancy? Now we got, I don't know if these are repeat offenders, but we got people trying to act like they're her and claim, "Oh, well, I was temporarily nuts, so don't send me away for life." What is going on?

Yeah, Dan, I've been...

This, this whole case is, is, be- reached the, and should shock the conscience, A.

And B, has reached the point of no return for the culture of the United States of America.

This is now the time where everyone must, and I mean must, turn the corner and say, "Killing your children is wrong and will not be tolerated." This is the precedent that not giving her a guilty verdict, murder in the first degree, has.

And, and all these other moms now think that they can get away with it, with some ridiculous insanity plea-

No

...

How do you think they should be talking about the economy on the campaign trail, balancing some of those wins you just talked with? also a need to show empathy for people who are are dealing with inflation

yeah look the republican party has offered some good solutions and that has been largely driven by president trump and they have delivered on that bill however matt what they really should start discussing as you just said is where are the problems and why is this democrat socialist of america party risen up What are they attempting to address that socialism and communism will never fix, that capitalism will fix? And how can we figure out a happy medium? How can we court some of those more moderate Democrats to come over to our side by offering real...

Nice policies that are actually pretty moderate, but now are crazy conservative, which are just simply discussing affordability.

And the one thing that is not being discussed, Matt, I have not seen any coverage of this or very little of it, is everyone wants to talk about the rising gas prices.

Well, President Trump has delivered for us with Venezuela $65 billion.

billion barrels of oil, which eventually, eventually will come to the United States and will heavily bring down the price of gas.

And he even said in a Truth Social post just a few days ago, these prices are going to come tumbling down and we are going to have big successes.

Are we at the front end of the wave on this?

I bet a lot.

Absolutely.

Even if you just use what they had to do in New Jersey, right? They had to show that there were illegals voting in their elections.

Why? Because they were about to be uncovered.

And the same is happening in California.

U.S. Attorney Bill Assele and the greater federal investigation through Homeland Security with HSI they are uncovering what we've known all along, is that there are illegals voting in our elections.

And the problem with this story is he's out in Winnetka, and he's driving, which is Los Angeles County, and he's driving to Ventura, which is Ventura County, to register to vote.

Katie?

What's your reaction to this?

Well, an experiment and to go further on to the list of what the DSA is proposing is ending, you know, the Senate and the presidency and the Constitution really at large.

I think that she's playing very nicely and walking a very thin line.

I have had an issue and taken issue from the very beginning with the establishment Democrats not calling out the DSA infiltration of their party.

And there have been a lot of voices, for instance, James Carville, Van Jones.

Even now we see Hakeem Jeffries and slightly Chuck Schumer starting to grow.

exceptionally concerned that their party is being taken over and that these policies are not in line with the base, with the Democrat Party.

They're absolutely obsessed.

Katie, what is it? Why is a case like this taken on political tones?

Oh, Jack, watching this case, from the very beginning, I thought everyone was on the same page, right? I thought we all knew she's guilty of murdering her children.

Now we're just, as a lawyer, now we're just discussing capacity, right? That the defense has brought up a lot of issues with capacity.

What does that mean? That that really only determines what degree of murder she can be charged for, not whether or not she committed these crimes, Jack.

And the most troubling part is the realization, Jack, That we are not dealing in reality any longer.

That people, as the host of the show pointed out, as all these women across your screen are showing, that people are defending her for murdering her children.

on capacity, not on legal grounds, on just pure, in your words, toxic feminism.

And so they're arguing, well, you know, the motivations are sacrosanct, but they don't actually take away the culpability, do they?

To me, it doesn't even sound upset.

No, of course he's not, Jack.

What he's doing, though, is what he's been told to do, which was what Gavin Newsom's doing by going out there and campaigning for al-Said.

They are just parroting what is an infiltration of our entire country.

And you've been talking about this for a lot longer than most people, Jack, that this has been a long infiltration, as they say, the long march through the institutions, right? They got first, they target education.

And then they target the media and now they're targeting civics and government.

Right.

Yes, it certainly is.

To me, to me he doesn't even sound upset

upsetNo, of course he's not, Jack.

He, he- what he is doing though is what he's been told to do, which was Ga- what Gavin Newsom's doing by going out there and campaigning for El-Sayed.

They are just parodying what is an infiltration of our entire country, and you've been talking about this, uh, for a lot longer than most people, Jack, that, that this has been a long infiltration, as they say, the long march through the institutions, right? They got...

First they target education, and then they target the media, and now they're ta- targeting civics and government, right? And, and soon we will all be wondering why we're living under what could be the equivalent of really a communist dictatorship.

Look at what happened with New York.

It starts with the school systems.

It, it certainly is terrorism.

Your reaction?

Well, it's so much bigger than just the Becerra, right? Gavin Newsom fails to honor ICE detainers.

And Kristi Noem, when she was secretary, asked Gavin Newsom in early February, all you have to do is turn over 33,000-plus... people who are being released from prison that are criminal illegal aliens, have been convicted of a crime, imprisoned, and are being released by these prisons, and we just want to apprehend them, detain them when they get released, and deport them.

Even California will not do that.

So what President Trump is alluding to with these sanctuary states, sanctuary jurisdictions, and they're protecting child traffickers, they're protecting child rapists, both by letting them in, illegally, Dan, by protecting them when they get out of prison.

So one of the cases that came out in California was a criminal, like an alien, is released from prison after child rape.

And pedophilia has one of the highest recidivism rates of any crime.

I just wanted to hear your reaction as a woman, Katie.

Do you think moments like this week when he's really called out before the United States Senate give those type of aspiring tyrants pause before taking people's rights away?

I don't know if they give the tyrants pause.

All of those tyrants had no problem, both dining at the French Laundry and then keeping children out of schools and mandating experimental vaccines and putting masks on children.

But I think the larger story with these tyrants is the propaganda, Matt, that we all faced during the COVID pandemic that People were turned against family members.

Literally, my aunt and uncle, people who held me when I was a baby, refused to talk to me over COVID.

And this is the type of...

We all talked about it.

Talk about what this means for operatives and campaigns in some of the toughest races that will determine who holds power.

What happened during that time?

Well, I was really grateful for the opportunity.

I'll rewind just slightly to give background.

I debate quite frequently on CNN, and one of my panelists is Brian Tyler Cohen.

And this particular night, I was on with BTC, as they call him, And it was also the night of Rene Good.

And I was able to handle the Rene Good situation, backing up our ICE officers, backing up DHS, backing up the president, while also delivering truth, hard truth, but in a soft manner.

so as i'm on this panel with this pretty radical left brian tyler cohen who is also a friend behind the scenes i was able to support ice support our ice officers who were all who were hit by the car by renee good who were around the scene and do so in a strong way and it but with a sense of softness because it is a delicate situation it's a tough situation And they reached out to me on X, the leadership at DHS, and asked me if I would please give them a call.

But maybe give us your take on what's going on in California post-primary and as we look toward the general in November.

Is this legal?

Well, Gavin Newsom has not cared about what's legal.

And as both of you mentioned, and as I was prepping for this, I also decided this is King Gavin Newsom.

So this is absolutely a monarchy.

It's a consolidation of power.

It is a usurpation of the will of the voters.

It's against the California Constitution, but they aren't accountable to anyone.

Katie, can you, you're an attorney, can you sue like tomorrow? Can we sue? Can we stop this?

Is there going to be enough? Because the polls aren't shifting yet.

The polls aren't shifting.

I can agree with you on that.

And President Trump understands, and every American should, and quite frankly, the Republican majority-led Senate should, that the Save America Act is the key differentiator between now and November that will ensure that our elections are safe and secure.

Why? Why is he hammering down? Why is he willing to do whatever it takes, go head to head with John Thunes, the Senate majority leader, Every single bill he's talking about, he paused even the housing bill that was up because this has to go along with the Save America Act.

He's asked to nuke the filibuster time and time again.

He has been relentless about this.

see that on Truth Social before long.

What's your reaction?

Well, he's leaving Becerra with what has been predicted potentially a $20 billion deficit rather than a surplus.

And it's saying par for the course with Gavin Newsom.

He's lying through his teeth, and he's expecting people not to hold him accountable.

And honestly, he's not going to be held accountable because he's headed off to go run for president.

So he's going to look at California and point fingers at, what, President Trump at his deathbed? abysmal deficit in California.

And look, Matt, it's bigger than this.

Do you now think there'll be a rush of states to do this and enforce it rigorously?

It's like a little spoiled kid that doesn't get candy in the candy store.

Correct.

They're banking on the ignorance of the electorate, right? If they can just blame Trump and get people's TDS rolling and roaring, then they're not going to actually have to be accountable for this.

And let's touch down on what you talked about.

Javier Becerra's account was dormant.

He is our now key leader for the governor's race of the Democrat Party, okay? He had a dormant account that Gavin Newsom's chief of staff, Dana Williamson, was funneling money into, okay? Is it dormant? Did he know about it? And this investigation started under Biden's DOJ.

Thank you.

What else are these two clowns accused of? Because we know they've been corrupt for a long, long time.

And I'm just wondering, like, do you really think all of those mail-in votes were legitimate? Or do you think part of the strategy for Democrats is allow the Election Day vote to occur, and then you know how many votes you sort of have to will into existence over the next few days and weeks?

Exactly.

This happened with Kamala Harris when she ran for Attorney General in 2010.

And this isn't the first time this has happened.

And Matt, it always favors who? The Democrat.

The Democrat is constantly favored every single time we have these late counts.

It's never a Republican, never, at least not in California and not in the history that I've been viewing this.

Do you think that there's a basis for a criminal probe into how all these ballots magically appeared?

So what are you hearing?

Right, and isn't it unusual that all of those ballot drops typically go in one singular direction? Thank you.

That every ballot drop, Democrats, Democrats, Democrats.

Right.

And Ramon right now surging up when a ballot drop happens, but not for Spencer Pratt.

So give me the math.

Tell me how this works.

Yeah, it was a crazy number.

I wondered what your reaction was.

Well, Hu Jintao, as I lived there during the change of power from Hu Jintao to Xi Jinping, and under Hu Jintao, I'm sure you're familiar with, was such a much more welcoming to Westerner approach, Western business.

As Xi Jinping came in and took over, I felt the shift literally in real time.

And this kind of closing down of China to Western influence, to Western investment and to foreigners in general.

And so what I'm really interested in, though, is the Chinese and Xi Jinping really stands at this pinnacle point.

basically backtracking all the way to Mao, they want to retake Taiwan.

And he's not mincing words any longer that the point of Xi Jinping is to continue on the imperial dynasty of China.

So I know exactly what you're talking about.
