"We're in a war with Iran that is ratcheting up our deficit and our debt, and that's going to fall on my generation. I mean, we pay $1 trillion per year just in the interest. I don't think Darlene Graham's going to be voting these wars down. You're shaking your head. Well, first of all, I think MAGA"

[0:00] We're in a war with Iran that is ratcheting up our deficit and our debt, and that's going to fall [0:04] on my generation. I mean, we pay $1 trillion per year just in the interest. I don't think [0:08] Darlene Graham's going to be voting these wars down. You're shaking your head. Well, first of [0:13] all, I think MAGA is not just loyal to President Trump. They definitely are. Well, are you MAGA? [0:19] Can you speak for MAGA? Because I absolutely can. I can say that, for instance, why I'm grateful [0:25] we have President Trump is not just Iran as a standalone issue, but when you look at the [0:31] greater threat, and we've discussed this at length of China and what China has done, what [0:36] he has done with Venezuela, what he has done with retaliatory tariffs on China and bringing [0:41] the fentanyl deaths down because he said, I will give you a 20% tariff on your country [0:45] if you continue sending manufacturing precursors, sending them over to Mexico and then over our [0:50] border. Our fentanyl deaths are down exorbitantly. Do you think the Iran war is a success? [0:54] The border is closed. I think we are in a very, very difficult set of circumstances [0:58] with Iran. Because of Donald Trump? [0:59] And I think President Trump is doing everything in his power to... [1:02] To ruin us? To have to have a letter finish. [1:04] To have to have a letter finish. To hopefully keep Iran from having a nuclear weapon. And [1:09] if it's your position that the world is safer with Iran having a nuclear weapon, I would love [1:13] to hear that argument. Why would I ever say that? [1:15] Because that is why we're there. This just in and breaking moments ago, Katie Zachariah has [1:19] been offered the role of the next White House press secretary. She would succeed. [1:23] Caroline Leavitt, who left the role in August. White House, of course... [1:28] What's up, family? So I appreciate you rocking with me today. Hit the like button. Share this [1:32] video with somebody who needs to hear the truth. Subscribe to the channel if you haven't already. [1:36] And turn on those post notifications because we got a lot to talk about. And we're going [1:39] to break this new pick for the White House press secretary, Katie Zachariah, as you just [1:43] heard. And why the media is already losing their minds about her. And I'm going to tell you [1:48] straight up, no spin, no agenda. Just facts. Why this is actually the best thing that [1:52] could happen to that briefing room. So let's get into it. Now, the media has already started [1:57] their spin machine on Katie Zachariah. They're calling her a devoted fan of Trump, a MAGA [2:03] loyalist, quote unquote, like that's some kind of insult. And right there, that tells you [2:07] everything you need to know about why she's the perfect pick. The media is scared. They're [2:11] already trying to discredit her before she even steps foot in that room. But here's what [2:15] they won't tell you. They won't tell you about her credentials. They won't tell you about [2:19] her track record and they won't tell you about the real person behind the headline. [2:23] So let me break it down for you in plain English so you understand exactly who this woman is [2:27] and why Trump picked her. So Katie Zachariah is a Pepperdine law graduate. And I want you [2:33] to sit with that for a second. She got her undergrad degree and her law degree from Pepperdine [2:38] University, which is a Christian university. She's not some Ivy League elitist who's never been [2:43] around regular people. She's grounded. She went to a school that actually teaches values, [2:48] not indoctrination, as most will say. And that matters because the person standing at that podium [2:53] is going to be the voice of the administration to the American people. And you want somebody who [2:56] understands real people, not somebody who's been in the Ivy Tower their whole life looking down at [3:01] the rest of us. She's an attorney. She's a mom of four. She's been in the arena and she's not [3:07] afraid to fight. She already served in the Trump administration earlier this year. She was the [3:12] Department of Homeland Security spokesperson and deputy assistant assistant secretary for public [3:17] affairs. And she knows how the machine works. She's been inside the building. She understands [3:21] the bureaucracy, the media dynamics, the pressure that comes with that job. And here's something [3:25] the media won't tell you. She left after six weeks, but she didn't leave because she couldn't [3:30] do the job. She left because traveling from California to Washington, D.C. with four kids was [3:36] brutal on her family. And that's a real reason. That's a human reason. That's not somebody who quit [3:41] because the work was too hard. That's a mother who made a sacrifice for her family. And now she's [3:46] coming back because the timing works for her family. That tells you a lot about her character [3:51] and integrity. As a lot of people will sell themselves out or their souls in regards when [3:56] it comes to a dollar. And I know you know what I'm talking about. And let's be real about something. [4:00] You don't get picked for that job unless you can handle the heat. She's been on Fox News and Newsmax [4:06] regularly. She's been out there defending Trump, taking the hits, going toe to toe with hostile [4:11] interviewers. She's not some staffer who's never been on camera and is going to freeze when a reporter [4:15] starts grilling her. She's been in the arena and she's done the interviews and she knows how to [4:20] handle the pressure. And that matters because the White House briefing room is a battlefield. [4:25] Those reporters aren't there to get the truth. They are there to set traps. Not all, but I'm [4:30] speaking to the majority, not the minority. And they're there to make the administration look [4:33] bad as we already know that our president has 98% coverage of negative press. And you don't need [4:37] somebody who's, you need somebody who's been in that fight before, okay? Not somebody who hasn't. [4:43] Now, here's something that really tells you about her effectiveness. Trump has publicly [4:48] credited her with helping flip Dearborn, Michigan in the 2024 election. Dearborn is home to one of [4:55] the largest Arab American populations in the country. And she helped mobilize those voters [5:00] to support Trump. That is not nothing. That is a huge deal. Michigan is a battleground state that [5:06] Trump won and she was on the ground making it happen. She delivered results. She built coalitions. [5:11] She brought people into the movement who had been written off by the Democrats. And that's [5:16] exactly the kind of person you want in that room. Somebody who can actually communicate with [5:20] different communities and bring people together, which I love because I like bringing people [5:25] together, regardless of difference of opinions or political affiliation, left or right. [5:29] But here's what's really, here's what really has the media shaken. This woman, as you'll continue [5:35] to see out the clip, throughout the clips, is a killer on TV. She's a killer. She wrote an essay [5:40] calling Trump the greatest political athlete of all time. She compared him to Muhammad Ali, [5:47] Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Alexander the Great, and Julius Caesar. And she signed a letter to him [5:52] saying she was his biggest fan in California. And the media is trying to use that against her like [5:57] it's some kind of embarrassing thing. But let me ask you something. Let me ask you something, [6:01] family. Why wouldn't you want the person defending you to actually believe in you? Let me know in the [6:06] comments. Wouldn't you want the person standing at that podium to actually believe in what they're [6:11] saying? Because for the last four years under Biden, we had a press secretary who didn't believe [6:15] a word they were saying. They were reading scripts they didn't agree with. They were defending [6:19] policies they knew were failing. Not to mention the former press secretary of the Biden administration, [6:25] she was writing a book basically shunning her own boss, her old boss, as it comes to the [6:31] vice president or former, I should say, former vice president and former president Joe Biden. [6:36] And it showed, right, defending the policies they knew were failing. The American people could see it in [6:43] their eyes. But Katie Zachariah actually believes in Trump. She actually believes in the American [6:48] first agenda. And that authenticity is going to come through every single time she steps up to that [6:53] podium. Jackie Heinrich has the news live from the White House for us. Hello, Jackie. [7:00] Hey, Sandra, we just got that confirmed from a White House official that Katie Zachariah has been [7:05] offered the job. She would succeed Caroline Levitt, who left her post in August. That we all knew she was [7:12] guilty of killing her children. And it was a discussion, a legal discussion. I'm also a lawyer [7:17] as to whether or not the prosecution could prove beyond a reasonable doubt on that Lindsay Clancy [7:23] had the capacity. Right. So that only that only looks at murder one, murder two, manslaughter. [7:29] This is not she didn't do it. And to see this hyper focus on these pink shirt women that are rallying, [7:36] not just saying Lindsay Clancy didn't do it, but the husband may have done it. And this kind of [7:41] hyperbolic and almost insane presence of the toxic feminism is to what you were just discussing is to [7:50] the point that so much of the time, if a woman is engaging in this type of discussion, you cannot be [7:56] taken seriously. A serious discussion is capacity and whether or not the 13 psychiatric drugs and their [8:03] contraindications diluted her ability to understand or appreciate the wrongfulness of her of her [8:09] conduct, which is that she murdered three of her children, that she killed three children. [8:14] Look, Clay, she sent her husband out on an errand and she intentionally took those three children down [8:20] to her basement and killed them. This is not up for discussion. And a society as a whole should be [8:26] treating this and Lindsay Clancy truly as she is not the victim. She is the perpetrator and she destroyed [8:32] three lives for it. But again, to your point, women will not be taken seriously if they start excusing [8:39] every hormonal or hormone or postpartum depression. It alleviates all responsibility from women, which [8:47] then makes them not serious candidates for positions, as you just said. Look, I think that people are being [8:52] told that they can come straight over to the United States illegally and then they don't have to [8:58] assimilate. In California, we have a mayor who has, who is Chinese, who is peddling communist Chinese propaganda [9:04] and was never forced to actually assimilate into the United States. And so the problem is not the, the problem [9:12] is not the people coming over. The problem is that we have enabled all of these people to live here, bring their [9:17] culture and not become American and literally infiltrate through with CCP propaganda to rise to the power of [9:24] America. We have that here in New York with mom Donnie, right? Like this, they're not being told that they [9:29] have to become American. They can bring anything that they want and peddle it. So I think that it's clear [9:35] that President Trump is a solution driven president. He's, you know, working with Elon Musk to bring in [9:41] Starlink so they can get access to internet. His whole family, you know, Laura's been on the ground, [9:46] Ivanka's been on the ground. I mean, they are working and he works for the American people. And there's such a [9:51] clear juxtaposition of Harris campaigning, Biden on the beach, President Trump on the ground with [9:57] the people. I mean, that speaks for itself completely for which, how the presidency is going [10:02] to go. No, I mean, well, you, you are hostile against it. And the key reason that we are there [10:06] is what he has said over and over and over again, which is Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. So if your [10:11] position is they can have a nuclear weapon or should, then I'd like to hear that. I'm hostile against [10:16] this war because I like when America wins. I don't like when America ends or enters endless [10:20] conflicts. And that's what this is. Donald Trump. So how is an America wanting to make sure that [10:26] Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon to overthrow America, to be a threat to us as a country, [10:31] as we know that we have adversaries that compete against us and wants to overall trump America, [10:36] but to continue to be the superpower and the best country in the world, we have to stand our own, [10:42] but also make sure that we protect ourselves from national security. And that may be having [10:46] the hard choices be done so that in the future, our kids and the next generation for generations [10:51] and generations to come, they can also embrace the beauty of what America is and has become [10:56] throughout history. The only way you're able to do that is by preserving the fabric of America [11:03] and having people assimilate to America, upholding out of respect for coming to this beautiful [11:07] country in which they want to come to because they want to benefit from its fruits, but they don't [11:11] want to respect the culture, just like we have to respect any other culture. You can't be American [11:16] and go to China and not assimilate to China and think you're going to bring American virus over [11:20] there. Oh, no. And China is not going to have other countries overthrowing them. They're going [11:25] to make sure they check them and divide or conquer, if anything. If anything, we're just trying to keep [11:29] the peace to strength and saying, hey, you're not able to have this, but you can still be your own [11:33] entity. So really, he's just contradicting it out of ignorance. But let me know what you think [11:38] in the comments, fam. We just have a conversation. I'm not telling you what to think or how to think. [11:41] You know, I'm just giving him a perspective that I think is reasonable and a productive [11:45] conversation. [11:46] How do you win here? Donald Trump went into this war with four different objectives. Regime change, [11:51] denuclearization, ending their funding of proxies, and ending their missile capacity. [11:54] How do you win here? Right now, right now, Donald Trump has put himself in an impossible situation. [11:59] Where is the nuclear material right now? How do you win this war? Where is the nuclear material [12:02] right now? Do you believe, so do you believe that there wasn't nuclear material? No, no, [12:06] where is it right now? Is that your position? No, do you, where is the nuclear material? [12:08] So, he doesn't have an option or alternative, but he agrees that Iran shouldn't have a nuclear [12:15] weapon. But what are you going to be like Obama, manufacturing solutions to basically get them [12:19] hush money on a private jet, and they continue to enrich themselves anyway, because you're [12:23] propping them up with money to eventually build up their regime and make them stronger and [12:27] more powerful. So how do you win this war? And Katie Zachariah has an actual point, a good [12:32] statement within a good question, because the reality is he doesn't have a solution. He just [12:37] bicker and complain into victimization and saying he wants America to win. But do you truly want [12:41] America to win, to continue to preserve what so many of our servicemen and servicewomen has fought [12:47] for and bled for this country? And thank you to my servicemen and servicewomen, and my heart goes out [12:51] to the families as well. If you are a family of a serviceman or servicewomen, thank you for your [12:55] service, and thank you for also being a courageous family member of a serviceman or servicewomen, [13:00] because that'd take much sacrifice. But you get my point, family. Hopefully you do. [13:03] How, how, how do you win this war right now? Well, I am not President Trump, and I am not [13:09] in briefed in the national security briefings and where we are. I think his blockade was absolutely [13:13] brilliant with the Strait of Port Moose. It's still close. He has leveraged, he has leveraged [13:17] the surrounding regional. And there you have, she made a point to substantiate that we are winning. [13:23] Who said we wasn't? See, the left is making you feel like America is losing, but how are we losing [13:29] when we can control the scrape? We have a blockade. They can't get no ships through because we are in [13:37] control of the scrape. So who's really losing? Their military is gone. Their country is in, well, [13:43] their little area, territories and smithers. They don't have no defense. Their leader is dead. [13:51] So what are we talking about? But they want you to think America is losing out of desperation [13:58] to scramble and scrape and be in fear and panic with fear-mongering words and sentimental words that [14:07] touch the heartstrings of your heart. So you can think they're the solution, but they can never even [14:11] offer you a solution to make it as though there's a better alternative. They have no solutions. That's [14:16] the point. They just want you frantic and panicking. So then you can basically go based off ideology, [14:23] which is feelings and emotions, but not facts, to actually get things done that's actually [14:28] important for our country to continue to win in the United States. [14:35] Which other people had not done in the past, other presidents had not done, and he has [14:39] brought in allies and even adversaries to, and as China, as they were saying that they were going to [14:46] start sending missiles, he brought China back to you. It's so fascinating, Rob, because I worked [14:51] Dearborn, Michigan for President Trump's 2024 election, and most of these people, we won Dearborn, [14:56] Michigan. They voted for President Trump, and then there's this switch to now we're going to [15:01] show our own flags rather than the American flag. So what needs to happen is really an evaluation, [15:07] and President Trump has called this out. He said he highlighted 19 countries that USCIS needs to [15:12] reevaluate the green card holders, the lawful permanent residents, and we need to ramp up the [15:17] deportation. So people... We need to ramp up deportation. I don't care what the left says, [15:23] we need to ramp up deportation. This really hasn't gone down on Republican or Democrat lines. I've had [15:29] actually a lot of women on the Republican, like conservative women, come out in support of [15:35] Lindsey Clancy, and even to my surprise, my more liberal side of the equation has, at least from my [15:44] vantage point, have come out against Lindsey Clancy. So it's not always and completely on partisan lines [15:50] right now, which I think is an even more interesting investigation that needs to be looked at. What are [15:56] these women watching? What are they looking into? And what are they reading? And who's challenging [16:01] their thought process? And from what I have seen is most women are against exonerating Lindsey Clancy [16:09] because it will not allow for women to be taken seriously on the greater scale, but also because [16:16] if you are a mother, you understand that this woman appreciated the wrongfulness of her conduct [16:22] and murdered her kids. And I have four kids. I had sleepless nights. I never thankfully had [16:28] postpartum depression, postpartum psychosis. I had what many have said, postpartum euphoria, [16:33] but there are long sleepless nights. And to, to give this woman an excuse for her behavior [16:40] will show other women that they can do whatever they want with their children and, and they won't [16:46] be held accountable. And I think to, to end here, the problem with our society right now is that we [16:52] are finding reasons to excuse a woman who killed her children. And, and it's mostly women that are [16:59] finding that a space to excuse her, but there are some men that are coming out in support of her. [17:04] And whether that juror 11 one, where you have even two men that have gone over to the non guilty, [17:10] there is, there is something happening in a society that says you can harm your kids and not be held [17:15] accountable. And that is what we need to get at. We need to get at the root of this really, really toxic [17:21] ideology. All right, family. Now, let me, let me tell you about her pro-life story, because this is where [17:28] it gets real personal. Katie Zachariah, as you see on the screen was adopted at birth. Her biological [17:33] mother was 19 years old and had an abortion scheduled. A Christian counselor talked her out [17:39] of it. That's not a talking point for her. That's something she read in a briefing book [17:45] at all. That didn't happen, right? That's not something in a briefing book. It's her life. [17:52] It's her existence. She is alive today because somebody talked her biological mother [17:58] out of having an abortion. You can't get that out of a briefing book. And when she speaks about [18:06] pro-life issues, as you just heard, she's not reading from a script. She's speaking from her [18:09] own experience. She's going to be able to talk about those issues with a conviction that not a [18:15] lot of media or media training, no media training can give you, I should say. And the media is going [18:20] to hate that because they can't argue with her lived experience. And this woman is tough. I mean, [18:25] really tough. She got told to stop wearing her Trump hat at her kickboxing gym. Most people would [18:31] have just took the hat off and move on. She wrote a New York Post op-ed about it. And she didn't back [18:36] down. She called out the gym for trying to silence her political views. And then she went on Fox News [18:41] and called out New York City Mayor Zeran Mudami for trying to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu when the Israeli [18:49] Prime Minister visited the United States. She doesn't fold. She doesn't back down. She doesn't get [18:53] intimidated. And that's exactly what you need in a briefing room because those reporters are going [18:57] to try to intimidate her. They're going to try to trip her up. They're going to try to make her [19:01] look bad. And she's not going to let them. The media reaction to her appointment tells you [19:05] everything. They're already running hit pieces. They're already calling her loyalist like that's [19:08] a bad word. They're already trying to frame her as an unqualified when she's a Pepperdine-trained [19:13] attorney who already served in the administration. They're scared. And they know what's coming. [19:16] They know she's not going to play their game. They know she's not going to let them control the [19:20] narrative. And that's exactly why Trump picked her. And let me tell you, let me tell you how [19:24] this happened because it's actually a great story. Caroline Leavitt was the previous press secretary. [19:28] She did an amazing job. And she set the bar high. And she left in August after having her second [19:32] child. And the briefing room has been basically dark for two months. And there hasn't been that [19:36] same energy, that same fight, that same presence at the podium. And Trump was watching TV. He saw [19:42] Katie Zachariah on Fox News or Newsmax defending him, making a case, handling interviews, and he liked what he [19:47] saw. So he pulled the trigger. And that's how Trump picks his people. He watches them in action. [19:51] He sees how they perform under pressure. And when he sees somebody who can fight, [19:54] he brings them on a team. And that's how he picked Caroline Leavitt. That's how he picked [19:58] Sean Spicer. That's how he picks all his people. He trusts what he sees with his own eyes more than [20:03] any resume or recommendation. Now, let me tell you why this matters for all of us. The White House press [20:08] secretary is the voice of the administration to the American people. They are the person who stands at the [20:11] podium every day and answers the tough questions. They are the person who has to push back against the [20:15] hostile media that is trying to destroy the administration every single day. And for [20:18] too long, Republicans have put people in that position who were afraid to fight. They put [20:23] people up there who were apologetic. They put people up there who were more concerned about [20:28] what the media would say about them than about defending the president and the agenda. But Trump [20:32] doesn't do that. He picks fighters and he picks people who believe. And Katie Zachariah is exactly that. [20:37] And the media is going to try to destroy her. They're going to try to run hit pieces. They're going to [20:41] take her words out of context. They're going to try to make her look foolish. But here's the thing. [20:44] She's been through it already. She's been on the front line. She's been taking the hits. [20:48] And she's been going on hostile networks and defending the president. So she's not going to [20:51] break. She's not going to fold. She's not going. If anything, she's going to get better every single [20:56] time they attack her. And that's what makes her dangerous to them. So here's the bottom line, [20:59] family. Trump picked Katie Zachariah because she's qualified. She's tough. She believes in the mission. [21:04] And she's proven she can deliver. And she's a Pepperdine-trained attorney who already served in [21:07] administration. She's a mom of four who understands real American families. And she's a TV veteran [21:12] who knows how to handle hostile interviews. And she helped flip the battleground state. She has a [21:16] powerful personal story about adoption and life. And she's not afraid to fight back when the media [21:20] comes after her. That's a problem for all the right reasons. And the media knows it. That's why [21:26] they're already panicking. Now, let me leave you with some scripture that speaks to this. I'm going to [21:29] go to Esther chapter four, verse 14. Now, for those who don't know the story, Esther was a Jewish woman [21:35] who became Queen of Persia. She was in a position where she could help her people when they were [21:41] facing destruction. And Mordecai said to her, who knows rather you have to come to the throne [21:49] for such a time as this. That's exactly what we're seeing here. Katie Zachariah has been prepared for [21:55] this moment. Every interview she's done, every fight she's been in, every sacrifice she's made for [21:58] her family, every time she stepped into the arena, it was all preparation for this moment. She has come [22:02] to that podium for such a time as this. And just like Esther, she's going to rise to the occasion [22:07] when her country needs her. And for those who aren't spiritual, here's the life wisdom for my [22:11] non-spiritual family. Preparation meets opportunity at the moment of decision. Katie Zachariah didn't [22:16] just wake up one day and get handed this job. She spent years building her skills, taking the hits, [22:21] doing the work and being in the arena when nobody was watching. And when the opportunity came, [22:25] she was ready. And that's a lesson for all of us. You don't know when your moment is coming. [22:28] You don't know when the call is going to come. But if you stay ready, if you keep showing up, [22:32] if you keep fighting, when that moment comes, you'll be prepared to seize it. That's the truth. [22:36] That's the lesson.
