[0:00] It was the first day of kindergarten [0:02] for the new White House press secretary, Katie Zachariah. [0:06] This is the new press secretary, former Newsmax commentator [0:10] Katie Zachariah, seen here thinking. [0:15] Katie met a number of qualifications for the job. [0:18] She has blonde hair. [0:19] She can do a thumbs up. [0:22] End of list. [0:23] Really, what else do you need? [0:24] Where do they all get that same face? [0:26] Is that makeup or do they have a machine that stamps it on? [0:30] Things did not get off to a great start [0:32] for Malibu Katie today. [0:33] I'm not really sure, Wolf, that I've ever been to a press briefing [0:36] where there were only three questions in the briefing. [0:37] It was quite unusual, especially for the first press briefing, [0:41] which, you know, was widely touted by the White House [0:43] and announced by the president. [0:45] I want to thank President Trump. [0:47] I have wanted to work for him for a very long time. [0:52] You wanted to work for him for a very long time. [0:55] And really, that's all it takes nowadays. [0:57] I get to do what I was doing on the outside already, [1:01] which was hoping to amplify, multiply, and expand upon [1:05] President Trump's incredible agenda for the American people. [1:08] Oh, Katie, Katie, Katie. [1:10] I do think you violated the Hatch Act at least four times at this point, [1:14] and we're not even that far into the briefing. [1:15] But honestly, you work for a man who ran campaign ads for weeks [1:19] using taxpayer dollars. [1:20] So don't spend too much time worrying about that part of the feedback. [1:24] With energy and excitement never seen before in the history of midterms, [1:30] just look no further than last night in Youngstown, Ohio. [1:33] Good job there. [1:35] Read all those words all by yourself without having to sound anything out. [1:38] Where President Trump delivered another blockbuster rally out on the trail. [1:44] Her reading is good for an 11-year-old. [1:49] He hired a fourth grader to be press secretary. [1:52] I can't say you get a gold star for accuracy, though. [1:55] I mean, this was Trump's Ohio rally last night. [1:57] Not exactly record attendance, I wouldn't call it that. [2:00] I'm just, I'm a little surprised. [2:02] You're speechless. [2:03] I've never really seen a briefing where there was only three questions [2:07] taken during an entire press briefing. [2:09] So that was unusual. [2:11] So I'm not really sure. [2:12] I'm sure, I mean, it started 15 minutes ago, [2:14] so I don't really know what to say. [2:16] You're still processing it, Caitlin. [2:18] This, um, Katie Zachariah is a real piece of work. [2:22] She charmed the president from afar [2:24] with a wide variety of piping hot takes like these. [2:27] The abortion pill has the same chemicals [2:30] that they used in the exterminate, you know, [2:32] exterminate camps in Nazi Germany. [2:36] When he lost to Biden, you know, like... [2:38] Well, he didn't lose. [2:38] Right. [2:39] Jimmy Kimmel is a, is a laughing stock. [2:41] This is the type of Nazi-style propaganda. [2:44] They want to quietly rewrite history and tell us all that, uh, [2:47] actually that a biological female is, uh, is Achilles. [2:50] And, and we're all supposed to accept it. [2:52] No, nobody's going to go see this woke movie [2:54] and it's going to be a box office bust [2:56] and they're going to make zero money on it. [2:58] No. [2:59] Well, that woke movie went on to make $1.8 billion. [3:03] We got a smart one here. [3:09] The idea of not spending evenings with my kid, [3:11] kids are, is completely, uh, unacceptable. [3:14] So my president, uh, excuse me, my husband, uh... [3:18] Oops, somebody's going to wake up in the middle of the night tonight, [3:22] eye to eye with Natalie Harp clutching a kitchen knife. [3:25] One more note for your briefing book, Katie. [3:29] Try not to confuse your husband with the president. [3:32] Just ask Natalie Harp. [3:33] Make sure you can tell those two guys apart. [3:36] Draw yourself a little diagram if you have to. [3:38] And this is pretty funny. [3:40] Trump's been saying that she's a lawyer. [3:42] He said she's an attorney. [3:44] Where did she pass the bar exam? [3:45] Which state? [3:46] Where did she tell us? [3:48] He's like, yeah, boy. [3:51] Even my press secretary is made in China. [3:54] Now, come on now. [3:57] I'm a lawyer. [4:00] I went to Pepperdine, Pepperdine Law. [4:02] I practiced corporate law. [4:03] I was a corporate lawyer. [4:04] Um, I practiced corporate law. [4:06] And practiced law as a corporate lawyer. [4:09] Practiced corporate law, [4:10] especially as a, uh, as a lawyer and a former corporate lawyer. [4:14] I mean, I am a lawyer and I'm a rigorous researcher. [4:17] Hmm. [4:19] Rigorous researcher. [4:20] I don't know. [4:20] But anyway, Katie Zachariah [4:23] is not listed as a member of the State Bar of California, [4:25] the state where she lives, [4:26] nor is she listed as a member of the State Bar of Texas, [4:29] or as a member of the D.C. Bar, [4:31] the two other places where she worked. [4:32] I have a feeling the only bar she passed is from Dry Bar, okay? [4:37] The Washington Post followed up with their own investigation [4:40] into Katie Zachariah's legal credentials, [4:42] and could not find any active or expired [4:44] bar emissions under her married or maiden name. [4:47] The White House was asked for clarification later in the day, [4:51] and would not say where or even whether she passed the bar. [4:55] Say what you like about the Trump administration. [4:57] They do such a good job of vetting people. [5:00] They didn't.
