Joining us, we are talking about Katie Zachariah,
who I guess you can say now is the former
White House press secretary.
Yes.
So she talked earlier today,
and we know that according to President Trump, you know, one
of the big things is that when she had
her press conference, she talked for like, what,
14 minutes, took three questions.
She was on Sean Hannity a little bit earlier,
and she just talked about how she thought
she did a good job.
She actually had a interview that was a few days ago.
She was asked to come down to Washington,
D.C. from California, basically laying out everything
and saying that it's not something that she wasn't prepared for.
She was prepared for it.
She thinks she did the best that she could.
And she has four children, a lot on her plate, obviously.
But when it comes to her performance,
she didn't think that she did bad.
Now, what's interesting
is obviously President Donald Trump talking about that and talking
with her just about how he thinks she should rethink her position.
And now we know what the headlines are saying,
which is that she got fired.
But it might have just really been, Anthony, a fact of President Trump
talking to her about whether or not she wants to really do this.
Because he said she was not treated fairly by the media,
which he's actually said before
for a lot of other things as well.
Yeah, I think she set herself up on the wrong path
when she came out and said that I'm an
attorney.
Right, that's another thing.
The press conference was one thing.
It was bad enough, right?
14 minutes, took three questions.
You don't see that typically from a press secretary.
But then when the reporters asked President Trump where she passed
the bar degree, she
said China, then reports came out that she
in fact did not pass the bar degree,
pass her bar exam, excuse me.
And then that was the thing Sean Hannity talked about with her last
night was like, did you pass the bar?
And she came out and said no. And I think that's a huge
thing for a lot of people. When you see something like this,
it's kind of like, okay, did we not do
an appropriate background check here?
Well, I don't even know. There was a question that was
asked from the media to President Trump about
where did she get past her bar exam from? And
And then he turns around and is like, where did you pass the bar from?
She said, I don't really know what she said,
but it was like, whatever it is, he didn't
know the information, right?
Right.
He doesn't know her background.
And obviously, Caroline Leavitt,
whatever side of the poll, Republican, Democrat, whatever,
she did a good job.
She did a great job.
She was 26 or 24, I think.
Right.
And she was on point, and she knew what she was talking about.
And obviously, then you go from her to someone like this,
and they don't seem as confident.
And then you got questions on their background,
which is a whole nother thing.
And it's like Sean Hannity brought up a good point,
why didn't you just tell the truth
from the very beginning instead of being like,
now we gotta know what an attorney and a lawyer,
there's a difference between the two, I mean.
Because that's the thing too,
because it sounds like the president is now gonna look
for another position for her.
He says a nicer position within his administration.
So you could have still,
from the looks of what it sounds like, the president is still
fond of her.
Yes.
the truth in the beginning you may not have gotten this position
but you may have been able to find
something else within the administration that you
are qualified for because clearly you know she did
not seem qualified for this position
at all yeah just don't even say just you know you went to this
school and she went to Pepperdine right Pepperdine
is a great school yeah went to Pepperdine and then
had four kids decided to do something else I mean you don't have
to go on this whole tangent about
attorney lawyer and the whole thing so we got a lot of uh texts
and uh tiktok yeah comments on that
We're going to keep going, though.
We got to talk about this Tesla flying car.
So let's roll this video.
I have seen it.
The Jetsons, if you will.
Have you guys seen it?
Please, let's watch.
If not, let's watch, right.
Okay, I feel like, just watch this.
Don't even look at me.
It just goes up.
I don't even know what it's called.
And then you're like, oh, is it going to crash down?
No, we're flying.
We are flying.
It looks like short distances, too.
I don't think it's able to.
See how it's like in the demonstrations,
it's just like jumping and levitating.
I don't think it can go long distances
at that level in the air, but this is, listen,
hey, man, that is something to behold.
So it uses air thrusters to fly off of a ramp into midair,
and Elon Musk says that it can
go from zero to 60 in less than one second,
goes as fast as 230 miles per hour, and reportedly
going into production in 2028.
I know there are people in Houston that would buy this thing.
Absolutely.
Just to say you have it.
Just to say you have it, I would be in it.
Would you go in it for a test drive?
I think that would be cool.
That would be cool.
But what if this was like an autonomous thing?
I don't know about that.
Now we're dragging it.
I think that's a little too free.
We're pushing it.
But I will say, though, in the event of a crash,
if you have a car like this, I'm interested to know if it would be able
to blunt the possible car flipping over in the cause of an accident.
Maybe the thrusters automatically come
on and kind of level you back out.
So that way you land safely
and you don't cause any further harm with barreling over.
I don't know.
It's cool, though.
Technology.
I want to fly through the traffic.
Let me know when that happens.
610, how about this?
Sorry for you guys.
I'm about to land on the Fox 26.
I mean, we got drones and everything else being delivered.
So one day, right?
All right, you guys.
We got more news coming up.
Rashi, thank you so much.
