Katty Kay

So it's lovely to have you on the show.

I should fill in a bit.

You were also a White House correspondent for Politico for a long time and you wrote the Politico playbook.

So there are very few people who are more plugged into what is happening in the White House and in Washington than you are, which is why it's so great to have you on the program.

Today, we are going to talk about Donald Trump heading to China later this week, this huge, important summit which was delayed from the beginning of the war.

It's happening this week on Thursday, Friday.

An enormous amount is at stake in this summit, but of course, hanging over it all is the shadow of Iran.

I was speaking to a senator this morning who said, look, he is heading into this summit weaker than he would have done because of the war in Iran.

So we're going to talk about that.

In the second half of the program, we're going to talk about

Virginia and the Supreme Court ruling that overruled the vote in Virginia to redistrict the state.

It's like a million years ago.

We haven't been on air since then.

And I thought it was worth discussing because I do think it has ramifications for the midterms.

And they may not be as disastrous as the most suicidal Democrats who are texting me seem to think it is.

But let's kick off with China and Iran.

You were covering the White House in the first term and he went to China and they had, I didn't even know that such a thing existed, but the Chinese gave him a state visit plus.

I suppose no one wants a state visit minus, right?

I mean, that's...

like not something you would want.
