The Adam Mockler Show — 🚨I Confronted Trump's NEW Karoline. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
Alright everybody, you're in for a special video today because Donald Trump just announced his new press secretary and it happens to be somebody that I have debated very intensely on television. No, it is not Scott Jennings, but I do, however, have clips of me debating Trump's new press secretary Katie Zachariah on CNN. A little over a month ago, I visited Los Angeles with my girlfriend and we visited the CNN studio and I want to break down how this entire interaction played out because at the very end, I basically pin her down and get her to admit that she is a part of a corrupt scheme with True Social. Announcements on Twitter or on Instagram? All of his True Social posts end up on every other single platform. But you get early access. You get early access. You just beat your own argument. You can, you can subscribe like everybody else to early access. Okay, so, yeah, thanks. The communications advisor for True Social. Now, the press secretary for the White House.
Donald Trump's criteria is clearly not somebody who is very well spoken and calibrated. I mean, she gets out of breath and stutters multiple times throughout this very debate that I'm going to show you from about a month ago. I think his criteria tends to be something a little bit different when he's making these announcements and it seems to be something like this. So we add Kaylee McAnady as one press secretary. Then Caroline Levin as another press secretary. Now it's Katie Zachariah and I also want to point out Natalie Harp is one of his, it's his biggest aid at the moment. We have Ivanka Trump who he said he would date if she weren't his daughter. Look at the people that Donald Trump surrounds himself with and that can give you a lot of answers. But without further ado, I want to dive in to this entire debate segment and break down what happened behind the scenes uninterrupted because it was very interesting interaction. And now that she's about to become a central figure to the Trump administration, I am not going to pull any punches.
She is about to be the most high profile mouthpiece for a fascist administration that is taking over our country. I'm going to break down exactly what happened in the green room. And now that Donald Trump is naming her personally as the press secretary, we've got a lot to cover. He said it is my great honor to have just appointed as press secretary Katie Zachariah. Katie currently serves as senior communications advisor to truth social where she has been outstanding. A native of California Katie previously served as spokesperson and deputy assistant secretary for public affairs at the department of Homeland Security. So when I was in the green room with my girlfriend, you me, I realized that she was on the board of truth social and was the communications advisor. I very quickly put together a strategy in my head where I could confront her on her truth social corruption. On the fact that they are selling early access, I realized nobody had sufficiently confronted her to her face and this was a good opportunity.
So my girlfriend, you me began running lines with me like she was Alex Michaelson asking me, what do you say about this atom? And after a few practice runs, I was ready to walk out there and it landed perfectly. I don't know how Donald Trump is going to appoint her as the press secretary once she's so easily shaken, but as always, make sure you watch until the end of the video for this confrontation. Drop a like and the only reason these breaking news slash debate videos are possible is because of you all when you subscribe, when you drop a like, it really helps us build a community. And that allows us to get these opportunities right here. So let's watch this from the very beginning. Joining me now for more on all of this is Adam Mochler, who is the host of the Adam Mochler show on the Midas Touch Network and former Homeland Security spokesperson Katie Zachariah, who's now there's a senior communications advisor for truth social and Trump media and technology group. Welcome back both of you. All right, as the Republican here, let's let you weigh in on the Republican primary first, Senator Darleen Graham, what do you make of this?
President Trump put a lot of chips in on this. It seems like a big win for him. Absolutely. Well, the president's endorsement record is unmatched. He has about a 97% 100% in the Senate, 98% in the house and 80% with the governor's race. And I think that's going to even go higher with Darleen Graham tonight. And then also the governor's race in Oklahoma. So look, I think this was a great win for Darleen Graham. I think the president's endorsement made the difference on this race. And I'm looking forward to seeing her win the Senate. You can tell why Donald Trump chose her. She is perfectly riding that mag alive. You know, when I look at the criteria that I grade politicians by, it's not their last name or whether or not they were endorsed by Trump. It's generally the merits that they've built their career on. Darleen Graham couldn't answer simple questions about China and Taiwan. But because she has Trump's endorsement, you know, they're trying to turn us into this feudal monarchy or just because she's related to Lindsey Graham, she is unqualified for the position. Can I ask you, do you find it kind of scary that she didn't know basics about China and Taiwan?
Well, if we want to go to qualifications, I look at John Asif, who was a filmmaker investigative journalist, no buyer political experience. I look at what Rafael Warnock, who had no prior political trends and haster. Can you answer the question? I think Darleen Graham, look, I lived in China, Beijing, China, the whole situation with China is very important to me. Okay, then it should be uniquely scary to Katie Zachariah that Darleen Graham didn't know how to answer a question about China and Taiwan and said something to the effect of, you know, national security is not my thing. Yeah, national security, like the thing that protects all of us is not your thing, then you shouldn't be a senator. It's very critical for me. So I trust that Darleen Graham will absolutely know exactly what she needs. How do you trust that? She didn't know what she was saying out of the base stage. She will be a rubber stamp for all of Trump's worst impulses on going to war just like we see with Iran right now. So you seem like you know more about China and Taiwan than you want to be something. We're not looking as a rubber stamp.
I mean, for Iran. In order to be an effective politician, you need to have a base level of knowledge about what you're talking about and what you're voting on. Donald Trump has taken us to war with Iran and other countries. It feels like Congress and the war power resolution aren't acting as they should. So if Darleen Graham is a part of that Congress, she's not going to invoke the war power resolution. Is it not up to the people of South Carolina to determine whether they think she's fit? Listen, I think it is up to the people of South Carolina, but Trump and the entire media apparatus underneath him, along with all of the politicians and pundits that had relationships with Lindsey Graham, basically cut out the other candidate and acted like Darleen was the only option. She was basically appointed to this position like power resolution. Is it not up to the people of South Carolina to determine whether they think she's fit for office? Absolutely, yes. So they will be voting for her. And so why do you think she won? I think she won because number one, name recognition in South Carolina. Number two, Trump's endorsement carry a lot of weight. It was funny. It was funny. Against a congressman who'd been there for five terms before. Yeah, yeah, but Trump's made a clear point about national.
Trump's endorsement shows somebody else. Trump's endorsement carries a lot of weight and she was basically anointed as a candidate when the entire Republican apparatus got behind her. She wasn't fighting an uphill battle. She was basically just pushed into the position, right? But that president, Trump's endorsement record and his endorsement of Darleen Graham and the support of South Carolina voters who voted her. And it's the confluence of the business. No, that's right. This isn't a rubber stamp. He endorses her and she wins. They actually elected her tonight. He's a rubber stamp on her. I'm saying that Donald Trump endorsed her so strongly because he knows that when she gets into Congress, when she gets in the Senate, she is going to be a rubber stamp on everything that he does. I mean, how is she going to be able to differentiate between China and Taiwan and the good decision and the bad decision? But the Republican voters in South Carolina had a choice to pick Ralph Norman who clearly was not going to be a rubber stamp. That's the reason that Donald Trump didn't endorse it. Yeah, yeah. And they chose Darleen Graham. So maybe that in itself was democracy. Well, the Republican... That's what they wanted. No, I'm not saying it's anti-democratic.
I'm just saying that the Republican voter base is wrapped around Trump's finger. His endorsement carries a lot of weight. And it feels like she was not ready for this position yet she was pushed into it. I mean, we have to admit, not being able to answer a simple question on China and Taiwan is quite alarming, right? Yeah, and saying that national security is not my thing is not... It's a little bit alarming. It's a little bit alarming. Let's talk about what's happening in Texas. This is where it starts to really get heated and where I directly confront her. She tries to kind of squirm out of it, but it doesn't work. A new poll we can put up on the screen. The Senate race there is heating up. New poll shows that Democrat James Talleriko with a narrow lead over Republican Ken Paxton that gap appears wider among independent voters. She were pulled 48 percent. Said they had an unfavorable view of Paxton compared to just 14 percent. Now Talleriko is up even more by the way. Well, an unfavorable view of Talleriko. Adam, if Democrats were able to finally win Texas, which has been the white whale for so long,
that probably means they've won the Senate. Because that means you're probably winning in a lot of other places because this tends to go as a wave. What is the biggest difference between a Democratic Senate and a Republican Senate for the average person? We just pointed out perfectly that Iran war could have been stopped with a war power as a resolution after 60 days. And that helps the American people a lot on affordability, on gas prices, knowing that the straight-of-war moves as open again would be nice. I also think we need a massive anti-corruption push. We need to be investigating some of the corruption happening. For example, Donald Trump is selling early access to his true social for $100,000 a month, where you can get insider information about stocks in the Iran war. I mean, you're the communications advisor for True Social. How do you justify that? It's not insider information. It's what other companies are doing. This is what competitors are doing. Well, $100,000. Zero is in the legacy. They're not getting insider trading information. They're getting early access. And this happens on X.
This happens with every other competitor. I don't let her get away with it. Just watch. Adam mentioned the stakes, how he sees it, in terms of what would a Democratic Senate be. What is a Republican Senate? What's the stakes for you? Well, for me, it's continuing on President Trump's legacy. And if we are very likely going to lose the house, in my opinion, I think we have some chance to win the house, but it's looking at about a 60... By the way, she sounds very shaky. Even when she's talking about Trump's legacy, she sounds slightly out of breath, slightly shaky. I don't know how this is supposed to be the new Confident Press Secretary, but watch it unfold. I would like to continue to see deportations. I would love to see President Trump's continuation of the ability to tariff and make America great. I mean, I don't know what the legacy is that you're protecting. Is it like the Iran War that's failing, that the Epstein files? Is it the truth social that you kind of just dodged away from the reality is? $100,000 is a very high barrier of entry.
If you want to have that barrier of entry, you have to already be some sort of firm or have a lot of money. Other platforms aren't selling access to the President's early truth social post. So I don't know what legacy you're defending, but he's going to go down as one of the most corrupt presidents in America. Trump Media and Technology Group is a publicly traded company with a fiduciary duty to their shareholders. Early access, EPI, which is what you're talking about, is done by all of the competitors. This is not something that the President has done. This is something that the company has done. Which platforms of the competitors is the President on? Like, is the President making announcements on Twitter or on Instagram? All of his true social posts end up on every other single platform. But you get early access to it. You get early access. You just beat your own argument. You can subscribe like everybody else to early access. Okay, thanks. The communications advisor for true social. All right. Well, there's going to be more to talk about in the next hour. All right. So there was a next segment that I did with her, but just putting this one into the front of our focus for a second.
You can see why Donald Trump picked her sort of. She is willing to perfectly and incoherently defend the indefensible if it means that she gets some mega-cloud. In this clip, she even defeats her own argument. She says that it's not early access. Other platforms have a similar thing, which they really don't. Nothing has an early access API like this. And then we point out, okay, but Trump posts his posts on true social first. And she says, yeah, they make it their way to other platforms after, which is the argument that we're making. He is selling access to presidential information for $100,000 a month. I don't know how she's supposed to go out there without getting eaten up by the media, but Donald Trump seems to have a lot of faith in her. There are more clips of her melting down that I'm sure will be covering over the next few months. But I'm going to leave it there out of the three K's, Kaylee, Caroline, Katie, the KKK's. I think Katie might be the weakest thus far, but we will see. I love you all. If you want more videos like this, subscribe below, drop a like, drop a blue heart. I'll see you in the next one.
