42:14Now PlayingOn "Katie Pavlich Tonight": We break down the high-stakes California gubernatorial debate with Leland Vittert and Chris Stirewalt, dissecting the key moments on topics including Eric Swalwell, the evolving crisis in Israel and the state's wildfire policies. As the GOP navigates Trump’s polling challenges and the volatility of the war with Iran, we ask Reps. Jay Obernolte and Kevin Kiley if California's crushing affordability crisis, homelessness and the state's energy failures are finally creating an opening for Republicans. We also launch an urgent investigation into California’s hospice fraud scandal; after a massive exposé, the Feds have cut off payments to 450 facilities — yet not a single one has tried to get its funding reinstated.
We are joined by investigator Amy Reichert to discuss the fallout and the disturbing legislative push to criminalize independent journalism. We also demand answers on where the "Bridge to Nowhere" and high-speed rail billions have actually gone, and look at how tax dollars meant for homeless people are being squandered on luxury lifestyles while tent cities continue to define the California landscape.
Finally, we expose a bombshell report that the DOJ allegedly paid millions to hate group leaders — including a KKK Imperial Wizard — to fuel division, and investigative journalist Jennifer Van Laar reveals a similar, sinister pattern tied to California’s anti-ICE riots.
"Katie Pavlich Tonight" offers a conservative take on the day`s events while welcoming all viewpoints. The goal: cutting through left-right bias in pursuit of plain facts and honest analysis. Weeknights at 10p/9C.
