From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. Thanks so much for being here, everybody. It's the Brian Killmeat Show, fresh off Fox and Friends, where I learned to play pickleball for the first time, and it's going to take some getting used to. I'm used to a bigger racket.
But listen, it's the rage. I think it's the fast-growing sport in the country, and I might buy a franchise because LeBron brought a franchise and Tom Brady bought a franchise. I'll seem to go, just go to the ownership meeting. Imagine going to the owners' meeting and just complaining about, I don't know. Ticket prices with Tom Brady and LeBron James.
I think it might be pretty cool. And Kim Kleister's of uh tennis. Uh I might buy that. It's only $35,000.
So, you could afford several teams. Right. I could afford a league.
So, we'll see. And you need 50,000 in liquid. And I think the New York franchise is open.
So I might buy a team. It'll be another way. I will immediately give the broadcast rights to the Ryan Kilmeat Show, and every game is going to be played from 9 a.m. to noon Eastern Time. That's part of my moves.
So then you don't need to talk about the news anymore. Yeah, just pickleball. I'm going to have to work this out. There's a few bugs in it. Steve Moore is going to be with us in a matter of moments.
Carly Shimkis at the bottom of the arrow. Let's get to the big three.
Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. Did the White House ask you not to declare a state of emergency? Absolutely not. You know, one of the things I'm very thankful for the White House, the federal government, they've done a really, really good job of working with us and helping us to make sure border cities are required to do.
Yeah, wrong. We already caught you two weeks ago saying that that's exactly what the White House did, and that is the mayor of El Paso, Democrat. It's only going to get worse as a Democratic mayor gets caught lying, contending he was not pressured by Biden. Too bad we got you on tape being pressured by the Biden administration.
Meanwhile, Governor Ducey was told to take down his makeshift wall, and illegals get set to move into luxury tent cities in New York City, which means we're going to get millions more. Good job, guys. Number two. Having children, it's why you're concerned about how much food costs. You can't divorce being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy from the economic realities of having a child.
Exactly. The only reason we're hungry is because we have children. If we don't have children, there'll be no one crying in the background. Stacey Abrams, her twisted pro-abortion. Thought process, 20 days in counting, and the president heads to Pennsylvania and try to flip the seat there and save his Senate as Fetterman's donor, donor doctor, writes him a note saying he's A-OK.
No one believes it. As Doctor turned candidate, Mehmed Oz surges. We look at the other key races. Number one. Right now, the strategic controlling reserve is more than half full with about 400 million barrels of oil.
That's more than enough for any emergency drawdown. Or a picnic or whatever that means. Here we go again. President Biden looks at the problem and finds a point of focus for blame. And again, it's oil and gas companies and stunningly taps our emergency reserves to flood the world market to keep prices at the current levels.
We're going to look at the facts and the pushback.
So let's look at gas right now. Nationwide is $3.85, 60% more than it was when he took over. And now he wants to get us down to 1951 levels on the strategic oil reserve. And don't tell me it's not politics. Stephen Moore knows all about dollars and cents.
He tells me he's got a degree worth a lot. A senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation and economist with Freedom Works and also a columnist. And you have your own talk show now on 77 WABC. I do. The More Money Show on Saturday afternoons at 1 p.m.
Good to be with you, brother.
So when the president struggled. Through his announcement about how to handle oil and gas prices. What are your thoughts?
Well, first of all, it is just a blatant lie when Biden says over and over and over again, Brian, that he's, quote, doing everything he can to bring down gas prices. That's just absolutely not true. I could go through a litany of about 15 separate measures that this president has taken to stick a knife into the back of the oil and gas industry. And by the way, he's basically told the American people, I want to kill the oil and gas industry, and he's doing a good job of it.
So the reason we're paying, remember when Trump left office, $2.59 a gallon, now we're paying in most states well over $4 a gallon. I have a friend who just texted me yesterday, California, almost $7 a gallon, Brian.
So he says, well, that's always that way. No, no. I mean, we've seen that.
Now, look, here's the other thing. How would any politician get re-elected at $7 a gallon gas? Exactly. In New York, it's $3.80. On average, the nationwide, they say it's $3.85.
Yeah.
Okay, so they're paying at least $2.50 more. And the irony, by the way, is that the Democrats are now looking at Gavin Newsom, who's the California governor, as their savior for their party in 2024 when he's basically destroyed their energy market. Look, it comes down to this, Brian. If we had simply as you know, I was an economic advisor to Trump, and one of the things that I worked with them on was energy policy. And Trump's policy was all in on American energy, as you know.
And we, by the time he left office, were the number one producer of oil and gas in the world. In the world. And now today, if we just stuck with Trump's policies, we'd be producing about 3 million more barrels a day. Brian, that's ramping up. Oh, no question.
And that's five to six times more. We wouldn't have had to take one spoonful of energy out of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which, as you know, Brian, is now at its lowest level since late 1983.
So right now we have already extracted 2.5 billion barrels of oil. Last year we got 4.1, 2021. In 2020, 4.1. In 2019, it was 4.5. Oh, by the way, can I just mention one other thing?
Donald Trump refilled. Remember, he was criticized for putting oil in a reserve. Remember that? But he did refill it? Oh, yeah.
He put oil into the reserve, and all the debtors, oh, you're just doing this as a SOP to the energy companies. Look, the solution to our problem is not to deplete our emergency reserve. I call it the strategic political reserve now, not the strategic petroleum reserve, because we all know Biden is doing this in the short term to try to hold down gas prices temporarily until the beginning of November when the elections are. This is pure policy. It goes into the world market.
It doesn't go into New York. We're not selling it to Pennsylvania. It goes to China.
Some of it goes to China.
So you've got to go bid on it.
So I always said, where's the oil and gas companies pushing back? If they were vilifying me unjustly, I'd be saying something. They say, why are you raking in so much record profits?
So Mike Summers of the American Petroleum Institute said this: increasing energy demand and constrained supply, coupled with geopolitical instability and faulty policy. Policy decisions have driven fuel prices higher. At a time when American energy can be a stabilizing force at home and abroad, we urge caution in continuing to rely on short-term efforts that are no substitute for sound long-term policies and enable American energy leadership. The administration should instead focus on addressing the fundamental economic and security challenges we face by spurring more investment in American energy infrastructure and markets that enable U.S. consumers to benefit.
Right now, they're told you do not, these major banks are told, major funds do not invest in fossil fuels. Yeah, that's one of the big issues. Another one being that Biden has not allowed the permitting you need for drilling on public lands. Thank God we have private land. Most of the drilling that's done in this country, by the way, I think your audience knows this, is done on private lands.
But Biden's way even below where Obama was, Brian, in terms of allowing drilling on our federal lands. He is also, as you know, you talk about this all the time. Know what his first act as president was. Stop the key to a pipeline. We need the infrastructure.
How can we have our oil and gas and get it to the gas pumps if we don't have refineries, if we don't have LNG terminals, if we don't have the pipelines?
So Biden is trying to kill the oil and gas industry. Don't believe him when he says I'm doing everything I can to reduce gas prices. That's what But Trump did, not Biden.
Well, here's here's him actually saying it. That's why I have been doing everything in my power to reduce gas prices since Putin's invasion of Ukraine caused these prices to spike and rattle international oil markets. I focused on how we can protect American families from that spike and give folks just a little bit of breathing room, as my dad would say. Yeah, do they actually put that in the prompter, as my dad would say? He says that every single time and give people just a little bit of breathing room.
He's got more than a little breathing room. He's got a bunch of mansions to do.
So there was another lie, by the way, in that statement was when he said, oh, that since he's doing everything he can since the invasion.
Well, what he's leaving out is that before the invasion, he declared the war on American oil and gas. He said in that famous debate with Trump, Trump confronted him on this, and he said, yes, I want to, quote, close down the American oil and gas industry. Would you want to invest, Brian, in an industry that the president wants to close down?
So, no. FBN's reporter that they had there asked Karine Jean-Pierre about what is going on by vilifying and claiming that the gouging is taking place from oil and gas, which is criminal. Cut ten.
So the FTC has so far has found no signs of wrongdoing or price gouging within oil companies.
So I'm wondering why the President still continues that narrative. Because we're seeing it from the chart. And oil companies were able to do it before, as I just stated to Peter. We're seeing a 60 cent gap between where their profit are and what people are paying at the pump. And so they can bring it down.
So, did they understand about transportation? Did it just go to the barrel into your Chevy Honda, into your Honda Civic? They don't have made the effort to understand the industry. No, they don't. They hate the industry.
But we tried a windfall profits tax back in the 1970s. This is Biden's new thing. We're going to have a windfall profits tax on these energy companies. It was a catastrophe. If you tax an industry, it's not going to produce more, it's going to produce less.
Folks, we have low gas prices, low prices for electric power under Trump, and that curve went straight up as soon as Biden came in. Look, the left is completely obsessed with climate change, and they're doing this in a way that's basically saying, okay, we can get oil and gas from Venezuela, we can get it from Iran, we can get it from Russia, but we can't get it from Texas and North Dakota. I mean, does that make any sense to you?
Well, how does this make any sense? Is this the time to have Democrats, including the president, stand up and punish Saudi Arabia? You can't punish Saudi Arabia and Iran at the same time. They are rivals. You have to be smart.
Play real politics in that area.
So you don't like the fact that they pull back $2 million a day of production from OPEC Plus. But you've made it worse by sensationalizing, saying we're going to keep air defenses back from what? To allow Iran to connect this time and not block the Houthi rebels to destroy part of that country? Does he want to alienate the entire Middle East? Look, we didn't have to worry about what OPEC was doing when Trump was going to be able to do it.
They worried about us. Yeah, exactly. They were telling us to stop fracking. We were the number one oil and gas producer in the world. And you're right.
It was the shale oil and gas revolution in the United States that enabled the United States to basically kill the The cartel. And now we have to go hand in hat and lay prostrate in front of them and beg them to increase their production. I'm angry about this because it's not just an economic issue. It's not just a pain in the pump. It is a national security issue, Brian.
Where do you think this oil and gas money is going? It's going to Venezuela, Iran. China's building 35 new massive coal plants. Russia, we are putting money into the hands of our enemies, folks. This is dangerous.
And by not being the natural gas supplier to Western Europe, they're burning wood. They're burning wood and coal this summer and maybe burning part of the new wing on their house because things are going to get there's riots in France about the increase in gas and utility prices. They even told people in Germany, the German citizens, the German government told the German citizens, stock up on candles because the lights might go out this winter. I mean, what are we doing? Returning to the Stone Ages here?
Voluntarily, we have not come to the aid of our allies. They've come over here and asked already. He says, keep fracking. But if John Fetterman gets in power in Pennsylvania, we'll stop altogether. Listen, Steve Moore, stick around for a couple more minutes, okay?
Bottom of the air, Carly Shimkitz comes in and tries to make sense of everything. And we hope she does. This is the Brian Killmeat show. Don't move. This is the Brian Kill Me Show from the Fox News Podcasts Network.

Now, that doesn't mean for sure that we have a really difficult economic scenario, but in the distribution of outcomes, There's a good chance we could have a recession. You can't talk about the economy without talking about the stuff in the future. And this is serious stuff. These are very, very serious things which I think are likely to push the US uh and the world. I mean Europe is already in recession and they're likely to put US in some kind of recession.
Six, nine months from now. We will have a recession. I think it will be a a relatively mild recession.
Sort of uh But I'm just guessing here. This is total. Yeah.
speculation But I would guess it's a it's a you know mild recession for I don't know, ATM mods or something like that. That's a pretty good montage. Elon Musk, Jamie Dimon, and David Solomon of Goldman Sachs talking about what they think where the economy is going. With me right now, Stephen Moore, an esteemed economist in his own right, Stephen, your reaction to what they said. We're in a recession right now.
What are they talking about? I mean, this is what I call a cost of living recession.
So when you have Brian, the average family is losing $4,000 a year in purchasing power, you know, the average family has maybe $75,000 of income. That's a huge cut in their income. And then we just came out with this study. You reported on this on Fox and Friends the other day about what's happened with GC about the 401k plans, that they've lost $34,000 on average. Oh, yeah, we use that.
Yeah, so people are losing their savings and they're losing their incomes. I'm extremely nervous about where the economy is right now. I think it's incredibly fragile. I think Biden has driven us into a ditch. And I don't have any confidence, do you, Brian, that any of these people at the White House, not Pete Butijek, not the Energy Secretary, Brian Deese?
None of these people have any, no business. You did a study on this. How much experience do they have? The average. Biden appointee dealing with the economy and commerce and transportation and energy has zero, zero, and by energy, I mean business experience.
And I'm not saying working, I mean, running a business, they've never even run a business. These people couldn't run a, you wouldn't hire them to run a 11-8 stand.
So, with the difference between now in 2008, there's a million of it. We watched the banks almost collapse and be tarp and everything like that, but we didn't have inflation. A dollar was a dollar. We knew what our money was worth.
Now it's worth less. I think that's a unique challenge for the people on the outside. But let me ask you. When people come back and say, well, everybody's in a recession. Everyone's got inflation.
No, everyone's got inflation.
Now, but it's not true in that inflation is very low in Japan. It's very low in China. It's lower in Mexico. It's lower in Canada. The place it's above is the UK, and they just rotated out their prime minister.
Liz Trust has just resigned. Yeah.
Look, it's very simple. When Trump left office, we had a 1.5% inflation rate. 20 months later, we have an 8.5% rate.
So, how do you get it down? How do we wet? Go back. If I said Steve Moore, you have the keys.
Okay, so this is a really important question. We have to take a chainsaw to the federal budget. Federal spending and debt. Are what I call the new virus. And it's not just the United States.
Yeah, all these countries have inflation. You know why? That all of the industrialized countries since COVID hit have spent and borrowed and printed. Are you ready for this? $22 trillion.
We've never seen anything like this in the history of the world. These governments are bankrupting their countries. It's happening here in the United States, it's happening in Britain, it's happening in Germany, it's happening in the European countries. We have got to get government spending down. And if that doesn't happen, I don't care how much the Fed raises interest rates.
We're not going to see a cessation of this record high inflation. And by the way, I'm a little older than you, Brian. I lived through the 70s and I saw what happened in 1976. You left every newscast in place. Jerry Ford lost the Presidency to Jimmy Carter.
Why? Inflation. Jimmy Carter lost to Reagan. Why? Inflation were the major reasons.
Ronald Reagan won a 45-state landslide against an incumbent president because people hate inflation. It's a killer. It just kills people's incomes. It makes them angry. I'm angry.
But you have people talking about abortion. No. And if you want to make it easy on inflation, don't have an abortion. That's what Stacey Abrams' theme is. Put that on a poster.
Amazing. Steve Moore, always educational to talk to you and insightful, but you did scare the hell out of me. You know, people need to be afraid. I mean, when you go to the polls, you should be very afraid, ladies and gentlemen, about the direction of this country. From the Fox News Podcasts Network.

But while abortion is an issue, it nowhere reaches the level of interest of voters in terms of the cost of gas.
food, bread, milk, things like that. What can a governor, what could you do as governor to alleviate the concerns of Georgia voters about those livability, daily, hourly issues that they're confronted with? But let's be clear. Having children is why you're worried about your price for gas. It's why you're concerned about how much food costs.
For women, this is not a reductive issue. You can't divorce being forced to carry out an unwanted pregnancy from the economic realities of having a child. And so these are, it's important for us to have both and conversations. We don't have the luxury of reducing it or separating them out.
So that is Stacey Abrams. Who I've never ever heard this rationale. And this attempt to link abortion and inflation. And if you want to solve abortion, make sure you if you want to solve inflation, make sure you abort your baby. That's fine.
Vote for Stacey Abrams. How would that look on Oak Tag as we welcome in A very pregnant Choly Shimkiss, co-host of Fox and Friends First, and one of the news anchors of Fox and Friends. How does that I mean did you ever when you heard that sound by first I read it well do you remember Janet Yellen almost said the same thing remember how she not almost she said she was the first person to link abortion to the economy and it was disgusting back then when she said it a few months ago and it's it's disgusting right now.
So if we force poor people to have their to have their babies they're going to be poorer. Right. So what what this argument essentially is it's an argument of economic convenience.
So if you are struggling financially abort your baby because it you know a child's life could make your life harder.
So if people are getting abortions because of the economy Mm-hmm. Maybe fix the economy. Rather than promote abortions, maybe start there. Tim Scott wrote a whole op-ed about this after Janet Yellen made the same argument, and she was hammered for it. And he was linking it back to it being a racist statement because Janet Yeha.
Exactly, yeah. And when she said it, she was talking about low-income in black communities. And then Tim Scott said, This is absolutely he was talking about his mother and how much she went through as I believe a single mom, but he grew up in a low-income community. He got divorced. Yeah.
And we've done segments before, Brian, where Adults whose mothers tried to abort them and unsuccessfully did so came on, and they've talked to Ainsley, they've talked to Rachel, they've talked to me too. Those segments are so powerful. And not one of them has said, you know what? I wish that my mother was successful in that.
So then, I wish I wasn't born. Yeah.
So then Brian Kemp was on. Did you do the interview when Brian Kemp was on? Yeah.
And it was, oh, Rachel asked about abortion with him. And he said, you know what? We've done a lot with alternatives. We've done a lot to make adoption easier. There are compassionate alternatives to go through if you don't feel like you can care for your child.
But this thing that Stacey Abrams said, and said it's so far from safe, legal, and rare. What happened to that? I mean, to me, there's so much to it. It used to be, don't bring up abortion. It's so controversial.
Now, with technology and the 3D sonograms, people are realizing have a tough time rationalizing their viable fetus as a human being because we're seeing these 3D images now, younger and younger.
So people are like, you know, you're going to go back and forth with that.
Now we talk about it like looking forward. We had the Attorney General of New York say, I'm so every basically, I'm so proud I had an abortion. Yeah, I did. Really? How did that happen?
And, you know, okay, so really quickly, and maybe you want to move on. But in New York, right now, I'm 24 weeks pregnant. I could still abort my baby. And I've seen the baby yawn. It's kicking me all the time.
It has all of its organs. How many weeks are you? 24. You can abort your baby up to the 24th week. I can't imagine anybody doing that.
But the fact that that's even an option is astounding. Like when you. Are the mom, and I'm sure that there are so many mothers listening right now who know exactly what I'm talking about. When you get into your six month of pregnancy, you've gone on this journey with this baby already, and to think that that would be legal. And some people in the Democratic Party are even pushing abortion until the moment of birth.
And then when they're asked about it, they kind of skirt it. They say it's extreme. But overall, this issue of abortion, Democrats have put so much money in campaign ads to talk about how extreme Republicans are on it. And it really is dropping the stone. Give an example.
Yeah, when it comes to among likely voters, which this is a new study that's just out from Sienna. Among likely voters, which party's candidate are you more likely to vote for in this year's election for Congress? Democrat, 45%, Republican, 49%? All right, pretty close. Among likely voters, what do you think is the most important problem facing the country?
Likely voters: 26% the economy, 18% inflation, 8% the state of democracy, 5% immigration, 5% abortion. Why would Joe Biden waltz out there on Tuesday and say this is my number one issue?
So, Karine Jean-Pierre was asked by Peter Doocy, what do you think about Stacey Abrams' idea, fight inflation by getting an abortion, cut 21? In Georgia, the President's endorsed candidate for governor, Stacey Abrams, is suggesting that one way to mitigate the effects of inflation is to get an abortion. Does President Biden agree? I did not see her comments on this, so I don't know the context of this. Again, I want to be careful because this is a political debate and it's related to a midterm, an election.
So I'm not going to comment on that. Among Democrats, what do you think is the most important problem facing the country? The abortion is fourth, economy is first, second is inflation, both are tied 17%. The state of democracy is 11%, and abortion.
So, among Democrats, nothing changes. I know.
So, that's the key. Nothing changes, even among Democrats. What is he thinking? Yeah, and I think that Democrats really miscalculated about how much money they are spending, how much money and time they're spending on talking about abortion. I mean, the reason they're doing it is because they have nothing else.
What are they going to do? Talk about this stellar economy or crime.
So, what this is literally their only issue. You put a judge on Monday. We played a cut from him from Faith the Nation where he said the problem for them, they accomplished so much that it's all hard to mention all the time. No, he didn't stop it. You stop it right now.
Yes. And I watched it, and I got the verbatim because they mail him out on Sunday nights. Yeah.
And I got it. I watched it. I go, I cannot believe he just said that. Hey, did you? Do you want to hear that?
Yes, I would love to. And I do think we run the risk because there have been so many accomplishments, right? The CHIPS Act that's bringing manufacturing back to the United States, the PACT Act getting veterans the benefits they deserve, of course the Infrastructure Bill, the Inflation Reduction Act, on top of that American Rescue Plan. You know, in some ways, having achieved so much legislatively makes it hard to talk about it all at once because there are just so many accomplishments.
So much winning. That's otherwise it's just too much winning. We're winning too much. Wow. Did you see that, I think it was the Washington Post, they had an article about how the most popular The person with his dance card the most full, getting the most requests to campaign for candidates running in the midterms, is Pete Buttigieg over Kamala Harris.
I think it made a little caveat said Biden and Pete Buttigieg are somewhat neck and neck, but I don't know, man. I think that he's the next candidate, the next serious candidate. How embarrassing is it that President Biden is not asked to do any rallies? President Obama is. Yeah.
He's going to be in Atlanta, Detroit, and Las Vegas. Mandela Barnes asked him to help Mountain Wisconsin.
So it's not, I mean, it's not that crazy because when you are making decisions, you could be the best president ever. But when you're making decisions, a lot of times, a lot of those decisions don't pay off right away. They're not glossy. But for Joe Biden, he just seems incompetent. When you watched him yesterday struggle through that strategic oil, did you watch that?
Because I don't know how many hours you work in a day, but this was on 2 o'clock in the afternoon. And I he could not get a sentence out because he had no idea what he was reading.
Now Obama, for example, comes out. He could say the worst or best thing he delivers with he's got flair. Clinton's got flair. About on the campaign rally front, I mean, think about what Trump was doing in the midterm elections. He was holding these massive rallies for candidates.
Biden isn't doing any of that. He's holding small little events. He did one in Oregon amazingly. The Republican candidate could win Oregon, and she's up in the polls right now because of crime. He did some stuff in California, but Obama's really the one that's going to be holding all of these massive events because they're turning to somebody that could help them more politically.
And they're not wrong about that. Right. So one thing that Obama said on his podcast with his former staffers is that we've got to stop talking about Donald Trump and we have to stop talking about being politically correct, walking on eggshells, even though he was trying to hesitate. He's like, stop being lame, people. Do you know we have President Trump on tomorrow?
Do you? Yes, he's coming on the radio tomorrow. No, it's tomorrow. Oh, you texted us Monday. Did I text you Monday?
You did.
Well, that's just a, you know. Let me see. Yeah, it's a little different. Minor detail. It's you know a whole weekend in between.
Let me see. That's the ball in the wrong spot. Um Yeah, nine o'clock. Let me see. This is also great stuff we could do off the air, too, if you want.
But you know, I just wanted to clarify. I believe Allison, because she's the keeper of the schedule.
Well, I will say, though, some bookings Brian might do directly, but the information that was relayed was for Monday.
So it's good to confirm it, right? This one's bigger than a Monday morning detail, I would say, when the former president is going to be on the show.
So, this is a good thing that we're having this conversation. Yeah, so he's going to come on. Oh, he says I can only do 15 minutes, which is perfect. Because we have breaks, we can't boil the brakes, not like TV.
So he's like, I can do it 15 minutes. I got to go. And I said, okay.
So he said, How's 9 o'clock? He goes, What's your biggest hour? And I said, and I said, we'll do it early and we can pull it back for the rest of the show. How about that? It's pretty good booking.
Pretty good booking. Yeah, I would give yourself a pat on the back. And you know what's amazing? Yesterday, he was deposed about some accusation from 20 years ago. Are you serious?
I didn't know that. Oh, yeah. And that's why I hesitated on calling and requesting because I said, well, he probably had a bad day. He had a great day. He's like, yo, things are going good.
You see my poll numbers. I'd still be number one. I feel like his life is so complicated with all the losses. I'm kidding. How does he keep it all straight?
Yeah, I mean, but he's I think he he likes on a different level. Right. And he's got a specific staff. Right. You know what?
I've got to get a few lawsuits going and see what it's like. Maybe you get either you have one or two and it's not. Let's map this out.
Okay, what do you want to be sued for? For being too good. I've you had to choose. I want to be for being too good by accomplishing too much. That reminds me of an answer.
That reminds me of an interview answer. Like, what's your biggest flaw?
Well, I care too much. That's my biggest flaw. That's my biggest flaw. My biggest flaw is I'm good at too many things. That's my problem.
When we come back, more for Carly Shimp because we find out everything that's wrong with Carly. She tells us in just a moment. Educating, entertaining, enlightening. You're with Brian Kilmead. He's so busy, he'll make your head spin.
It's Brian Kilmeade. Our headlines. The Prime Minister fights for her job after a chaotic day in the Commons. It has been a night of astonishing scenes at Westminster with reports of jostling, manhandling, bullying and shouting outside the parliamentary lobbies in a supposed vote of confidence in the government. The Deputy Chief Whip was reported to have left the scene saying, I'm absolutely effing furious.
I just don't effing care anymore. Before he resigned, along with the Chief Whip. But we've just been told they have now officially unresigned. The Home Secretary has, however, definitely gone. In short, it is total, absolute, abject chaos.
Can you imagine having a government like this, this parliamentary system? Like, I haven't quite figured out, Carly Shimkiss, where you had a bad two weeks. She says, I want to come in. I want to reduce taxes on the rich. And she gets in there and she couldn't implement it.
There was old Bullback. She goes, I quit. She goes, I'm sorry. I fired my finance minister. That was last Friday.
And then Pierce Morgan was here yesterday and said, oh, she's gone. She can't keep it her job.
So she was the one who meeted the last one to meet the Queen. I know.
Is the quickest prime minister to ever lose her job?
So she, this is by far, Liz Truss. Yes, Liz Traus out as UK prime minister. She just resigned, shortest serving prime minister in British history by far. She started the job on September 6th. The previous holder for this record was George Canning.
He lasted 119 days in the 19th century. Guess how many days Truss served? 50. It's terrible. Yeah, but it is it is a very unique system.
I Haven't worked it out, obviously, myself either because I don't live in the country. But you know, one of the things that I think is very interesting is they still. Pound on the table. They do that like all the people. They're all screaming at each other.
Yeah.
There's going to be no ulcers in England, especially if you're in government, because you skid it all out. You just get it all. It's very raucous. But it is, it must be a wild time to be in the news in the UK right now with this turnover.
So who can be the next prime minister? What if they choose Boris Johnson again? Is that even an option? I don't know. You know, I'm watching because it's a good point you brought up because I'm trying to make sense of it.
This happened minutes ago before we started the radio show. And I'm seeing a lot of video of Boris Johnson because he's their biggest personality and also their biggest disappointment for Conservatives, too, because he came in and he just started being like a socialist.
Well, but the issue does have to do with taxation because, like you said, Liz Truss wanted to cut taxes on, I guess it would ultimately be taxes on wealthy people. And then the finance minister kind of went behind her back and was like, no, we're not doing that. And then it was just this whole huge. Huge issue. And now there's going to be a leadership contest to decide the leader of the ruling Conservative Party.
So it stays within the Conservative Party. They just pick another person. What a what a this is like a g what a wild game. I know.
What I would have wanted to do with England Is I wanted to give them a free trade deal right away and help them with our unique relationship, further intertwine with them. But yeah, and Trump was willing to do that. He was willing to do that. And this guy wants no part of it because it was President Obama who said, if you do Brexit, you go to the back of the queue. And you know what England said?
We're doing it anyway.
Well, it would really help me out in my wardrobe because there's a brand called Karen Millen. It's a British brand, and I can't get their clothes anymore because the taxes are too high, the duties are too high. I tried to get a package once of dresses, and the guy said it was going to be $119 to accept it.
So I just made this whole thing about me. Yes, I did. You know what? I'm used to that with Allison. I am not with Allison, who's producing.
I made this geopolitical relationship about my wardrobe. Right. It is. I love Karen Mill and clothes though.
So if Is it actually a woman or is it Carol well, I think a a woman named Carol Millen started the company, but I don't know. I think it's a whole company now. It's not just one woman. All right. Um you brought the shoulder shoulder we're grinding home because I I know nothing about fashion.
Uh at all.
So sorry. Can you believe that they tried to charge me $119 to accept a package from the UK? What was the I was about to throw tea into the harbor in projects? What was the theory on that? I didn't.
What do they say to you? I don't know. By the way, who sent you a package? It was the UPS guy. He was buzzing my apartment buzzer, and I was like, you could just leave it down there.
He's like, no, you owe money. And I was like, what? And I just woke up from a nap. Did you pay pay it? Yeah.
You did.
I did. You have to. I did. And you're too nice.
Well, it wasn't I just really needed the clothes because I was going on a shoot for Fox and Friends and there was a jacket in there that I needed. Yeah, but don't you have a wardrobe? I just had a defense to that. Yeah, don't you have a wardrobe too? Yeah, but you know, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
So, what is your take on this homeless thing in New York City? In case you do not know, they built these luxury tents with 500 cots, and it's got three meals a day. You have Xbox, you have a phone bank. I mean, where's this going? Carla, you realize you're going to come back next week, and there's going to be two more tents, two more tents, two more tents.
The whole world is seeing these accommodations. There's a popcorn machine. There's a popcorn. Tell me a life. I'm going to go there on weekends.
I know, right? It would be.
Well, okay, so last week, Mayor Eric Adams made this speech, and I was like, wow, I think that this whole thing with Governor Abbott shipping migrants to New York is actually working. Because he said that he declared a state of emergency and he called on the Biden administration to shut the borders down. He said it in a lot of words to try and mask what he was saying. But now he builds this thing in Randall's Island. It's an open call for so many more people to come.
And by the way, mostly men will be there.
So, those are the men that should have been turned around unless they were refugees, which they just want a better country. That's sexist, to be honest. Representation from outraged, and I'm a man. How dare he? From Hyatt.
Top Fox News headquarters in New York City. Always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmead. Thanks so much for being here, everybody. It's the Brian Kilmeat Show, 1-866-408-7669.
Big day. President of the United States is going to be doing some campaigning with John Fetterman. Good luck with that. Not many people want the president in Battleground States to show up, but he'll be in Pennsylvania today over in Pittsburgh. I always love when Dan Bilak joins us.
He's a member of the Territorial Defense Forces and an advisor, financial advisor to the Prime Minister of Ukraine. He's going to tell us what's happening on the ground and what it means as the Russians now have a new tactic, and that is destroying the energy infrastructure of the country. We'll discuss that and, of course, take your calls. Keep in mind, we've got the podcast, BrianKillmeeChow.com. If you ever miss it, can't listen live, FoxnewsPodcast.com.
Also, a great way to get it. And let's get to the big three.
Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's Big Three, sponsored by Crunch Fitness. Interested in owning your own business in a growing $30 billion industry? Check out CrunchFitness at Crunch.com. Number three. Did the White House ask you not to declare a state of emergency?
Absolutely not. You know, one of the things I'm very thankful for the White House, the federal government, they've done a really, really good job of working with us and helping us to make sure border cities are required to do it. Yeah, problem is three weeks ago, you admitted it, and others heard you say it. That is the mayor of El Paso, a Democrat, finds himself in political hot water. It's only going to get worse as we watch this mayor flip-flop, sending illegals to New York and D.C.
Meanwhile, Governor Ducey was told to take down his makeshift border wall and let illegals get to move in. Really? A tenth city in New York City set up for illegal immigrants to the terms of 20,000. Expect 50,000 if this continues. Number two, having children, it's why you're concerned about how much food costs.
You can't divorce being forced to carry out an unwanted pregnancy from the economic realities of having a child. That is Stacey Abrams, who is imploding because of statements like that. 20 days in counting, and the president heads to Pennsylvania to try and flip that seat and save his Senate as Fetterman's donor, Doctor, writes him a note saying that he's A-OK. Really? As Doctor turned candidate Mehmed Oz surges, we look at other key races, issues, and game plans.
Number one. One. Right now, the Strategic Petroleum Reser the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. is more than half full with about four hundred million barrels of oil. That's more than enough for any emergency drawdown.
Really? Don't believe it. Here we go again. President Biden looks at a problem and finds a point of focus for blame. It's oil companies, its gas companies, and stunningly taps our emergency reserves to flood world markets to keep prices at current levels, which are way too high.
We look at the facts and the pushback. Right now, gas across the country went down for the last couple of days. It's still 60% up when he took office at $3.85. If you're out on the West Coast, you haven't seen $385 in like a year. It's over around $7, and the President's tapping into an emergency fund to do it.
Can you imagine all of a sudden you want to go out to eat and you say, let me just go into my 401k? That's what the president's doing. Mark Thiessen's with us, former chief speechwriter for Bush, Fox News contributor, Washington Post columnist. Mark, that's press conference yesterday that the president obviously was totally unfamiliar with by the way he delivered it. Quickly to blame everybody, it's not political to tap strategic oil reserve.
Do you buy it? Yeah.
Don't buy. But first, may I may I compliment your mad pickleball skills that I just don't watch on national television? Listen, I never even saw Pickleball.
So I did whiff a couple of times. You you did, but it's okay, but that was very brave of you to go out on national television and show and show us your stuff.
Well, I've been told by I told I look really good in looking really bad. Yeah.
That's a pattern for you. Thank you, I think.
So Mark, what do you think about the President yesterday afternoon stumbling his way through a torturing his way through that copy? You must, as a speechwriter, you might want to shoot yourself and come out and say something so significant.
Well first of all he says You know, that, well, this is nothing new. I've been doing this for a while. The administration announced a few weeks ago that they weren't tapping into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve anymore. Then, all of a sudden, 20 days before the election, they changed their minds and do it. Why is that?
Hmm, I wonder. Maybe it's because gas prices. I mean, I don't know about the rest of the country, but I can tell you, I travel all over and I've been seeing gas over $4 everywhere I go. It's $4.11 here in Alexandria, Virginia. I'm flying to Minnesota.
I'll be interested to see what it's like over there. But, you know, they want to. Take credit when the gas prices go down, and then they don't want the blame goes on Putin and the gas companies and everything like that when it goes up. And they're manipulating the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which was created for a national security crisis. to protect us so that we wouldn't run out of gas if if there was to say a cut off of of of of oil from the from the from the Middle East or something.
And they're using that as a political tool. It's literally a no pun intended, a slush fund. for the President for to for to to to stave off the uh the Republican takeover of Congress.
So he says it's not politically motivated.
So there, there goes your theory. Why wouldn't we believe it? Oh, sorry.
So he says this about our oil production, cut five. Let's debunk some myths here. My administration is not. stopped or slowed U.S. oil production.
Quite the opposite. We're producing twelve million barrels of oil per day. And by the end of this year, we will be producing 1 million barrels a day, more than the day in which I took office.
Well, let me give you an idea of how wrong he is.
So we know that in 2019 we were putting out 4.5 billion barrels a year, 2020, 4.1, 4.1 in 2021, and this year only 2.5 billion. We know that when it comes to what he's doing on federal land, no one outside Eisenhower has drilled less or give less permits on federal land than this president. Trump gave out 4.4 million acres, Obama 7.2 million, Bush 43, 12.7, Clinton 9.6, Biden 0.13. Yeah.
So here's what they're doing.
So, first of all, you'll be shocked to hear that what the President said is factually incorrect. The reason that production is up is because prices are up. And so despite all the signals from the administration that fossil and their war on fossil fuels and his threats to say I'm going to end fossil fuel, there's an economic incentive for people to drill, so they're drilling. But what they are doing in all of these steps is they are trying to take short-term steps. to lower prices, like getting the begging the Saudis and OPEC to increase production or releasing from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, but they won't do anything that will lower gas prices in the long term and keep them low.
Because they don't care about low prices, Brian. They want prices to go up. They don't want the political blowback for high prices, but they want high prices for gasoline because that's the way they get us off of our fossil fuel habit. Just like the government artificially raised the price of cigarettes to get people to stop smoking, which worked. they they want to see gas prices high so that people will be pushed into buying these electric vehicles and getting and stop using fossil fuels, while at the same time, they're waging a war on fossil fuels that raises prices and discourages production.
This is a strategy. It's a conscious choice. They don't like the fact that it's happening in the midst of a broader inflation crisis, which has raised prices from groceries and everything else through the roof. And so people are, it's a cumulative effect that's hurting them politically. But if everything else were the same, if the economy was humming and the inflation was normally under control, they'd be thrilled with rising gas prices because that's their goal is to get us to stop using it.
They want us to not buy gas anymore. It's unbelievable that someone would become president and not do things that's in the best interest of our country. All and above strategy, which we agreed on, I thought Obama was doing that too. But you have John Kerry, who is just, I think this guy is just an evil guy. Everything he touches goes anti-American.
Thank goodness he lost his run for the presidency.
Well, he's the reason why. He's one of the reasons why home heating prices are so high right now, which gone up a lot higher than gas prices, gasoline prices have, because he went to the COP26 conference and announced. The Biden administration's policy. This is Biden administration policy. Nobody realizes this.
No coal plants in America in eight years. Zero. He's he's he's pro they haven't come up with a technology to replace coal. The wind and solar is people don't realize this. There are no batteries commercially available to store wind and solar energy.
So if you go depend on wind and solar and there's no sun or wind, you don't get any electricity. And that's why the gr why this hasn't been widely adopted except by force of the government. And so, you know, they want to get rid of the things that work before they have anything that's capable of replacing it. The way to do it, if you really want to have a clean energy economy, is to invest in and make clean energy affordable so that people naturally turn to it because it's cheaper and more reliable. But if they can't make it cheap and reliable, then they're always going to use it.
Absolutely. Mike Summers came out and said this, and he is the president of the American Petroleum Institute. Increasing energy demands and constrained supply, coupled with geopolitical instability and faulty policy decisions, have driven fuel prices higher at a time when the American energy can be stabilized, a stabilizing force at home and abroad. We urge caution in continuing to rely on short-term efforts that are no substitute for sound long-term policies. This administration should instead focus on addressing the fundamental economic and security challenges we face by spurring more investment in American energy infrastructure and markets that enable U.S.
consumers to benefit. From America's reliable energy sources. Instead, we get this from the President, cut six. Earlier today, I talked about our efforts to keep gas prices down at the pump without delaying or deferring our transition to clean energy. And electric vehicles are part of that plan.
And since I took office, electric vehicle sales have more than tripled. But we can't make enough. We don't have the cobalt, we don't have the lithium, we don't have the battery technology, we don't know where to throw them out. And the things we do have to buy, mostly from China. Yeah, well there you go.
So here we are in a situation where we can make internal combustion engines with products here at home. We don't need foreign products to do it. Under Trump, we became the largest producer of oil in the world, surpassing Russia and Saudi Arabia as oil producers.
So we have the fossil fuels here at home to fuel them. And they wanted us to get rid of that. and depend on a technology that we are dependent on Russia and China for all the elements of these batteries. right? Because Russia and Chin why is that?
Because Russia and China are willing to strip mine their countries to get those elements. But the environmentalists here in America, the NIMBY environmentalists who want us to use the they want us to use these rare earth minerals, but they don't want to produce them here at home because that will make the environment ugly.
So we're going to depend on totalitarian regimes who will who will abuse their people and stripbine their countries and who hate America and make ourselves dependent again on our adversaries for our transportation system. It's It's strategic. insanity. 2022 is upon us. We're 19 days away.
Mark Thiessen, where do you think Republicans are most likely to pick up seats in the Senate? It's tough because if you look at some of these races, like in Georgia, Kemp is running seven or eight points ahead and Walker's tight. I'm amazed at the polls in Ohio that just came out, where DeWine is up like 18 points, the Secretary of State is up like 15 or 16 points. Everybody's up in double digits except Vance, who's who's neck and neck. I think the Republican wave.
Is going to be so large.
Now that it's going to sweep up some of these weak candidates. And I think that we you could see Oz. Vance and and Walker. stumble over the finish line ahead. Yeah.
But boy, you know, and here's the other thing that's really driving me crazy.
So, like, you know, we picked a horrible candidate in Ohio, J.D. Vance, who's running behind every other Republican in the state. And so, Mitch McConnell. is spending forty million dollars in Ohio. A red state.
where we should be cruising to election. That means that's money he's not spending in New Hampshire to to help uh to help win that Senate race. It's money he's not spending uh in other states uh to to to uh to take out uh vulnerable Democrats in places like Colorado.
So, the picks of these wheat candidates, they may end up winning. I hope they do because we've got to take back the Senate, but the picks of these wheat candidates have. Have made it hard for us to pick up other seats that could be vulnerable for the Democrats and could be pickups. And wasting momentum from this red wave that's coming.
So do you think there was a better candidate than Blake Masters? Sure, absolutely. But he's tightening. I think Master could win too. I see he's a very talented guy.
I mean, self-made success story, too. I see J.D. Van. He's doing very well in the debate. He did very well in the debate.
So, I mean, that's choking up on things. And Mark Kelly's weak. He's got a great resume. He should be there forever. Instead, he's been a blatant partisan and somewhat lazy.
He cannot even articulate what he thinks. Even though you know he's got to be a genius to be able to be an astronaut and he's a military officer, you would think with being around his wife, he understands politics. But to me, this guy is a huge disappointment. He's never, he should be Mansion. Because if he wanted to survive in Arizona, that's what you would do.
What Sinema is doing. Instead, he just stays back, doesn't even stick up for her. No, that's exactly right. I think also what you're seeing in a lot of these candidates is you've heard a lot about how weak these candidates are, and so the Democrats have been underestimating them.
So I think I was super impressed with the job that Walker did in his debate with Warnock. I think Warnock wasn't ready for it. There was one point where he had that line about abortion, that there's no room, there's not enough room for the doctor, the woman, and the governor in that hospital room. And he said, there's also a baby in that room. And by the way, you're the one who wants taxpayer funding for abortion, so you want the government in there.
I was like, Whoa, where did that come from?
So, Walker is not a great debater, but he clearly did the work in preparing and he anticipated what he was going to say. There was one point, because Warnock is a pastor where he told some lie about something and he used a line from scriptures basically saying, Don't bear forward. Yeah, bear false witness. I mean, these were all great. I mean, Walker did the work.
He was prepared. He was much and so, and he had lowered expectations so much that people looked and say, hey, he's holding his own.
So I don't need a rocket scientist in the Senate. I just need him to be able to say two words, yay and nay, at the right time. Mark Thiessen. Unfortunately, when asked if we have any more time for the Mark Thiessen segment, the answer was nay.
So so you gotta be happy on some level about that. Back in a moment. Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Hey, welcome back, everybody.
I'll be in your call shortly. 1866-408-7669. We go back into the war that's really heating up as the Russians realize they can't win, but they can to try to destroy the infrastructure of Ukraine. And that's what they're trying to do. Ukraine's resilient.
Know what their hope is? Their hope is to de. Moralize the Ukrainian people. Have they noticed that's not possible? They're actually digging in more.
They've already left and come back and now they're stuck they're sucking it up. They're all making plans for a cold winter. It's not going to happen. Russians, by the way, this get this in Moscow, it's impossible to find men. because they're all hiding or have left.
Believe this, they've left the country rather than go to the stupid war that Vladimir Putin wanted to fight because he thought he could roll right in.
Now there's a draft of 300,000 people, and men go 200,000, an amazing amount. I wrote this down: how many went to Kazakhstan? Can you imagine being so concerned about life in Moscow that you're going to go to Kazakhstan? Even Borat left Kazakhstan. It's amazing.
200,000 have gone to Kazakhstan. Others have fled to Georgia, Armenia, Israel, Argentina, and most of Western Europe. They're not coming back. Because the sanctions are beginning to take a toll, and they have no Western culture at all right now. And even the rich kids are being asked to fight, and like they do, which just shows how little they care about their people.
They're putting the least experienced people in front with almost no training and very few weapons. What could go wrong? From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmead. He doesn't own the region. Martial law implies he's going to be more restrictive and controlling with the population.
I mean, we know some horrific things he's already done, John. He's moving hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians into Russia. Thousands of children into Russia. And in some isolated areas, he's actually forcing Ukrainian men. to fight against the Ukrainian military.
So Nothing is going to surprise us when it comes to this, but it's a complete sham. He doesn't own those four areas, as you've pointed out, John. As a matter of fact, Ukraine is retaking territory in two of them, Luans and the Hirshon Oblast, and they're preparing operations now and and beginning to execute it to retake territory in Saparizia.
So, yeah, and they're also bombing the infrastructure in just about everywhere they can. What's the reality on the ground? Let's go out to Dan Bilak. He's a member of the Territorial Defense Forces of Ukraine, former Chief Investment Advisor to the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Zelensky. Dan, welcome back.
Thanks, Brian. Great to be back.
So since last we spoke, it seems as though Vladimir Putin's goal is to blow up as much infrastructure as possible. And word is thirty percent of your power structure has been destroyed. Is that would you say that's accurate? Yes, it's actually as of yesterday forty percent. We took out a couple more heating plants in Western Ukraine.
Um you know, it's It's it's just uh you know i it's not even war crimes, Brian, it's just war crimes plus terrorism. This is Ronald Reagan called this the evil empire. It's a terrorist evil empire. There's this satanic desire to target civilians and infrastructure. And the fact that they're using Iranian drones is a sign of how desperate they are.
They can't win on the ground, so they gotta go after the civilian infrastructure and they gotta kill civilians. You know, it's I I just don't know what else it's going to take for the administration to label Russia a terrorist state. You know, if they're buying weapons from a state sponsor of terrorism, which is what Iran is, and Estonia, Latvia and now the the Parliamentary Assembly, the Council of Europe, have designated them as a terrorist state. I mean, and both houses of Congress have, you know, if it looks like a terrorist, walks like a terrorist, and acts like a terrorist, it's pretty much a terrorist. Let alone the 100, 200, 300 people they killed because they're protesting their horrible regime of their own.
The EU is preparing to punish Iran for providing the drones with sanctions. Wow, at the same time, negotiating a nuclear deal that'll turn the whole Middle East on its head and nuclearize the whole thing. We, idiotically, have alienated both Iran and Saudi Arabia. Really smart.
So we'll see how that goes. I'm disappointed in Israel. Israel is not providing missile defense, they're staying neutral. Brian, Brian, you really this is a trigger for me because the Israelis who went through a genocide of their people, I would have thought would have been all in in their support of Ukrainians, not to mention that half the people in Israel and in New York trace their roots to Ukraine. And you have a Jewish president in Ukraine.
It's just incomprehensible to me that Israel has taken this position, especially with the Iranian involvement. I mean, they're watching how these drones are going to be acting. Who do you think these drones were designed to attack in the first place? They weren't designed to attack Ukrainians, they were designed to attack Israelis. And this is also a direct threat to the United States.
I mean, we we got to be honest with ourselves about this. is that this is not just a Ukrainian-Russia conflict. It's now expanded and we're now fighting an axis of evil, as another Republican president called it, of Russia, Iran and Belarus and North Korea, all supported by China. We have this is clearly becoming a bifolar world where democracies that believe in freedom and the rule of law are against the totalitarian states that murder civilians.
So do you don't Do you have a I listen, I hear you, and you know I agree with you, but is there a plan in place, the resourceful Ukrainian people, to start getting temporary heating, oil, gas, some type of plan B when it comes to your heating and electric?
Well, we're all doing what we can. Everybody's been really cut back on electricity in the last few days. I'm sitting in a dark house so that we've avoided the rolling blackouts to this point in time, but they're coming. I've got seven cubic meters, which is like ten cords of wood. Uh my uh with my my Vermont casting heat stove.
Uh That I'm going to be sparking up.
So we're going to do our best. You know, we're going to win this still, Brian, and we're winning it now because we've got God, guts and good on our side. What we need is more guns. And we need attackums, we need the long-range missiles, we need the NASMs that they've been promising us. These are the anti-aircraft, anti-missile systems.
You know, they're they're they're bombing us from the skies. We're taking out, you know, seventy percent of what they're throwing at us, but thirty percent has taken out forty percent of our of our heating and our electricity.
So this is actually what's going to be happening to Europe if we don't stop this guy in Ukraine now. You know, drone attacks, pipeline destruction, internet cable destruction like he's done in Norway, taking out the terrorist act on the German railway system. We had an attack. To the Russians against U.S. airports recently.
This is all coming to a country near you. If we don't stop this guy, we need this kit, we need it now. we're getting it, but we're we're still not getting it faster. We asked to close the skies months ago. Help us close the skies.
They wouldn't give us planes. Even though we we had a swap, remember you and I were talking about the polls were going to give us twenty nine gigs from the Soviet era and the administration didn't allow it to go through. I mean, those things would have made a huge difference. But you know, it is what it is. And I'm so grateful, as always, to the people of the United States.
You know, without you, we'd be mud today. And, you know, I just hope that we can get through this winter and put this guy, destroy their army, and save democracy and preserve freedom. I mean, that's it's it's in all of our interests. It is. And Neil, Eric here, is a producer here all Swiss Portal Happy brought up a great point to me yesterday.
He said, It's so beneficial for America to watch the destruction. Of the Russian army and see their tactics and their equipment front and center without risking American lives. One thousand percent, Brian. Look, you know, people say, well, we're not sure if you should get into NATO. My gosh, we've we've taken out fifty percent of of NATO's number one enemy, which is Russia.
And it didn't cost NATO anything. You know, I hear people in the United States complain about, oh, yeah, we can't give Ukraine blank checks or it costs a lot of money. Brian, it's a rounding error in the Pentagon budget. I mean, really, and we're really grateful for it. We understand people make sacrifices, but we're dying and fighting.
And the American people get the benefit of what we're doing, this preservation of freedom, protection against terrorism in the United States by helping us and this army on our territory. But we are not doing a good job with this administration of replenishing what we're giving. And we have to do better from our own javelins on down.
So we have to pick up the pace there. I wouldn't be worried about Trump or Bush with that. I am worried about Biden and Obama with that. They just were never big on defense. You remember, if they didn't, President Obama is the one who gave you MREs and blankets when they took Crimea.
I'm sure I didn't have to remind you of that. I saw so many people who were beside themselves saying if we let them take Crime. Crimea. What are we going to do when they take more? Oh, it's not going to happen.
Crimea is historically theirs. And then we see what happened.
So I hear you. Here's more from General Jack Keene about what he's seeing, Cut 41.
Well, it is the Russian way of war. There's nothing that's particularly unique about it in Ukraine because Putin has done that since the day he took over when he moved his troops into Chechnya and really made war. On the people that lived there and killed literally thousands of people. Did the same thing in Georgia, did the same thing. The brutality in Syria was absolutely off the charts.
I mean, we're talking about hundreds of thousands of civilians killed by the bombardment raids, to include deep penetration bombs to go down into hospitals that were built underground. That is the degree and depth that they steeped to to kill civilians.
So we see it again. This is a war criminal for sure: a thug and a killer.
So uh Yeah, so I mean, he gets in and he sees what's going on. They can't win. They have evidently, I was just reporting this before: that Moscow, there's no men. All the men have left or are hiding because they don't want to be drafted. There's 200,000 Russians in Kazakhstan.
They've flooded into Georgia, Armenia, Israel, and Argentina, as well as Western Europe. People in Russia want no part of this. Oh, Brian, they're trying to surrender on the field, but they're afraid to surrender because there's an echelon behind them that will shoot them. This is exactly what the KGB used to the Check Easts did in the Second World War.
So they're still in the Second World War playbook. Look, everywhere the Russians go, they only leave behind despair, destruction and death. That's all that anybody can expect.
So I don't know how anybody expects to negotiate a peace with these guys until their army is destroyed.
So what right now, what are the chances? I think it's called, I know it's an acronym, the ATTAX missile. Whether you need the long distance. Yeah, it's got to go more miles because they're backed up. Are you going to get that?
In the last Ramstein meeting where they discussed these things, forty countries come together to talk about giving Ukraine weapons, they they were finally talking about giving these, I understand. I mean, we're waiting to see it. It'll be a g just like the HIMARS work. Took us forever to get the HIMARS. And once they came in, our guys showed that we could do it.
We know how to use American equipment. We know how to use it effectively. We know how to use it I mean, we're repairing a lot of this stuff ourselves. Even the HIMARS weren't designed for the kind of intensity of artillery battle that we use.
So we're fixing these things in real time. You give us the stuff, and we can put it in those HIMARs, and it'll go a lot further, and it'll get this done faster. People say they're tired of the war. We're tired of the war. We want to get this done as fast as possible.
Are you ready for the winter?
Well, Brian, you know, I guess we're as ready as we can be. I mean, I don't know if we're going to have electricity, I don't know if we're going to have heat. We will puff it out. And we're just going to do whatever we have to do. 90% of the people, no matter how hard they've been hit, whatever hardships that they're enduring, say that we have to win this war and we give up no territory.
Ukrainians will never surrender. We watched the refugees leave when the war started and the bombing began and we thought Kyiv is going to be invaded. Have they come back? Have most people come back or stayed away? A lot have, Brian.
A couple million actually. You see it in the streets of Kiev and other places. Obviously, you know, we're in a situation of vulnerability now with our heating and our electricity and our power systems and water. But we haven't seen a big, I don't know if we're going to see another outflux of people. But Ukrainians are resilient.
We're resilient. We're resistant. And we will We are resolute. We will not give up. And with your help and God's help, we will win this, hopefully by the spring.
Yeah, and cut Russia down to size afterwards and maybe show teach China a lesson about going into Taiwan. That would be great. You're watching this real carefully, Brian. You're watching this really carefully. Last question for you.
Are there Iranian fighters on the battlefield?
Well, according to the according to US intelligence, there are the the these reprehensible revolutionary guards. And they've come, they're in Crimea apparently, teaching the Russians how to use their drones. And they are now apparently the Iranians have sold the Russians ballistic missiles, Brian.
So we're going to have that depth rain down on us as well. And we're watching we're not done here in the north. We're watching what's happening in Belarus to our north. Um a big buildup starting there. We think that the the reports are that the Russians are going to go after the supply lines from the West.
So, you know, this is. This is this is not gonna this is gonna get a whole lot worse before it gets better. But we are advancing in Kherson, as you know. I mean, they're they're evacuating not just kidnapping Ukrainians. And I I don't know how many action they take hundreds of thousands.
They'd like to take hundreds of thousands. But there are a lot of people from our reports in the Ukrainian telegram channels that are saying that people are refusing to go.
So we'll see how that works out. But we need if we can take get to the Dnipro River and cut off the water to Crimea, it means that we're that much closer to where the Russian forces are. If we get these new systems that we've been promised, And especially the attackums, we can go a lot further. We can start taking their ships out. Um this this you know Give us the kit and we'll do the rest.
I hear you, and you've proven that. Daniel Bilak, thanks so much for bringing us to the battlefield because we're always thinking about you guys. He's a chief investment advisor.
Now, we're helping fight this war to the Prime Minister of Ukraine, calling us from Ukraine. Daniel, thank you. God bless. God bless the people of the United States. All right.
I hear you. When we come back, we'll take your calls: 1-866-408-7669. And go over where the president's going to be today. I'm you're going to be surprised. Coming to you on a need-to-know basis, because Mandy, you need to know, it's Brian Kilmead.
A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Will any of you vote specifically? based on a politician's views on abortion. No.
Strictly no. If the choice is pro-life or pro-choice, and they're only pro-life with no other circumstance, I would never vote for them.
So yes, I would I would make that decision solely on that because that's a line I'm unwilling to cross. I agree.
So that's Bucks County, Pennsylvania, speaking up and speaking out about what abortion means. And I think that is why Dr. Oz is moving up. I think that when it first came down, Roe v. Wade being kicked to the states for decisions and the Kansas decision where they went for zero and they didn't get zero weeks.
And that's a very red state. The people said, oh, we got an issue. And this Supreme Court, let's make the Supreme Court too radical for America and let's say how corrupt it is. And then blame Trump in January 6th. And of course, we got abortion.
And it peaked. If you see some of these charts, everything peaked for the Democrats in July. It capped off in August. And start leaning red again in September. And it's been an incredible three weeks for Republicans simply because they're addressing the needs.
This is how unique this year is. You'd be like, the economy is a problem, inflation is an issue. How do we address it? Republicans want to do X, Democrats want to do Y.
Now we have the economy is bad. The economy is bad. It's got economists worried. It's got inflation is way too high. It is not transitory.
Republicans admit it's a problem. The Democrats talk abortion. And January 6th.
So that's what I'm saying. I'm not giving credit to Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell. I'm not giving credit to anyone. I think the candidates, as Mark Thiessen mentioned earlier, a lot better than anyone thought. They weren't as well known, not traditional.
Dr. Oz is really conversational. Kerry Lake as governor in Arizona's candidate is fantastic. Blake Masters is incredibly competent. And J.D.
Vance, a rural guy who makes an Ivy League education, best-selling author who served in the military. I know people don't seem to rally around him. But if he gets in, and I expect him to get in in Ohio, just not by as much as traditional. I think it'll be one of the most popular, most effective centers.
So I think a lot of that downplaying the candidate quality was not smart. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kill Me Chow at 48th and 6th in Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, around the world.
Thanks for being with us all week long. Don't forget, One Nation, we're queuing up now to have a big show on Saturday night. We're going to have Herschel Walker, he's all lined up. And a few other surprises, which I know will be great. We'll be riding the news and seeing what's taking place.
Then. And of course, we'll have an interview with Benjamin Netanyahu. He's got his book out. We'll take it a little bit of a different direction. His book is fantastic, by the way.
It gives you a perspective not only of his history with his family, but also history of Israel and how it got to where it is. We'll talk about all that. And also, the big issue here is oil and gas. If you check your utility bills this month, you're going to be shocked. They basically doubled.
And if you go to get gas, it's on average $3.85. But most people tell me it's over $4. If you're in California, it's over $7. And who's to blame?
Well, if you listen to the president, Oil and gas companies. I don't listen to the president. Big three.
Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. Did the White House ask you not to declare a state of emergency? Absolutely not. You know, one of the things I'm very thankful for the White House, the federal government, they've done a really, really good job of working with us and helping us to make sure border cities are required to do.
There you go. That is. It's only going to get worse from here. And that's the Democratic Mayor Oscar Lesser, a Dem mayor, got caught lying, contending he was not pressured by the Biden administration to stop sending illegals to New York and D.C. and don't declare a state of emergency despite your city being overwhelmed by illegal immigrants.
Meanwhile, Governor Ducey was told to take down his makeshift wall because they won't finish the wall, the federal government won't, because Donald Trump was building it. Yeah, while illegals stream into this country, unbelievable. While luxury tent cities are being built at Randall's Island in New York City, unacceptable. This overall, an epic fail from this administration. Number two.
Having children, it's why you're concerned about how much food costs. You can't divorce being forced to carry out an unwanted pregnancy from the economic realities of having a child. What? Here we go again. 20 days in counting, and the President heads to Pennsylvania to try and flip a seat and save his Senate as Fetterman's donor doctor writes him a note saying he's A-O-K, as doctor turned candidate Mehmedaz surges, and we try to find out why Stacey Abrams thinks linking inflation and abortion is a good thing.
Number. Right now, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. is more than half full with about 400 million barrels of oil. That's more than enough for any emergency drawdown. Really?
President Biden, here we go again. The president looks at a problem and finds a point to focus for blame. And it's oil and gas, and stunningly taps our emergency reserves to flood world markets to keep prices at current levels. We look at the facts and push back.
So here's the you heard the President of the United States yesterday. He's warning against gouging. He's already launched an investigation into gouging by oil and gas companies, and they came up with nothing, but he still keeps at it, cut to. I'm calling on oil companies to pass the savings on to consumers. Consider this.
In the second quarter of this year, Profits at six of the largest producers of publicly traded oil companies were more than seventy billion dollars. When the cost of oil comes down, we should see the price of the gas station at the pump come down as well. That's how it's supposed to work. But that's not what's happening. How does he know how it's supposed to work?
The gas and oil industry is a mystery to him. That's pretty clear. Let's bring in Tim Stewart. He lives his life in this industry. He's the President of the U.S.
Oil and Gas Association. And I imagine, Tim, your ears perked up when the President went behind the microphone yesterday. You know, I'm a little worked up this morning, Brian, so you got to bear with me, okay? But yes, we just kind of sat there with an amazed look on our faces, the stuff we heard yesterday. You know, but it's interesting.
I don't know if you saw this, but one of the pajama boys on MSNBC last night said that keeping gas prices low is the key to preserving and strengthening democracy. That's the next argument that we're going to start hearing over the next 10 days. The reality is, is Well, nobody takes those pajama boys seriously. It's indicative of the panic that the Democrats feel right now. They realize that high gas prices that they brought on us are now threatening their hold.
And that was the result of yesterday's breathless and frankly empty announcements. The American people are smart, okay? And they they can see through this, but Boy, there's a lot to unpack from what was said yesterday. All right, first off, he says when it comes to oil and gas production, nothing they've done nothing to decrease it. He said this, cut four.
That's why I have been doing everything in my power to reduce gas prices since Putin's invasion of Ukraine caused these prices to spike and rattle international oil markets. I focused on how we can protect American families from that spike and give folks just a little bit of breathing room, as my dad would say. So, I mean, he's done everything in his power to reduce oil and gas prices. Is that correct?
Well, I can point to one hundred twenty different individual actions that the administration put in place both before and after the invasion that hobbles the domestic oil and gas production. Every single one of those actions, and I pointed this out yesterday, every single one of those actions will make it harder for industry to produce the barrels that they want to buy back to put back into the strategic petroleum reserve. And frankly, our first responsibility as an industry will be to sell to the consumers who actually need it rather than the government who wants to store it. And so I have to call BS on the administration. They know better than this, and they know it's not true.
So right now they've given up $2.5 billion. You pump $2.5 billion barrels of oil. In 2021, and that's the year is not done, obviously. But we're in October, so we've got two months left. 2021, $4.1 billion, $2020, $4.1 billion, $2019, $4.5 billion.
Were you on track to go beyond that? He says I've done exactly the amount that the previous guy did before him.
Now there's a great study that Stephen Moore put out a couple of weeks ago that shows, and the industry backs it up, is that had things remained unchanged from the Trump administration and its policies, Even with COVID, had things remained unchanged, Brian, we'd be up to around 13 to 14 million barrels a day in production. But the administration put the kibosh on that. You bet 13 million. Yes, thirteen to fourteen million a day. And that's what we were that's what we're capable of, and that was the trajectory.
Obviously, change of administration, change of plans. But the difference between the Biden administration and the oil and gas industry, Brian, is that the industry has a memory. to be honest with you, we remember when Biden said no more drilling. He said that during the campaign. We remember all those lease sales that they stopped.
We remember killing the Keystone. We remember the White House asking to be investigated like you just mentioned. to investigate us and doesn't report saying there's no no systematic or illegal actions taking place. And remember the the president badmouthing the small mom and pop gas and station owners.
So when he says it's time to produce more, honestly, we remember that he's not a very good faith partner. And frankly, his policies are I want us to produce less.
So we can kind of see through this. What about the strategic oil reserve? He says it's no big deal. I got plenty left.
Well, you got 400 million barrels. The reality is, you know, he's drawn us down to the point where. And a lot of it depends on you and I talked about this last week, I think. A lot of it depends on what type of crude you're selling out. The administration has depleted that medium sour crude that is in the reserves that's most useful to refiners.
Much of that remains is the light sweet crude, and that's harder to refine. And so it's not just do we have enough oil, do we have enough of the right oil that will actually help us absorb any price shocks or emergencies. Are you finding infrastructure still still built around that old imported crude, which we started in the seventies when those refiners were built. And so this goes to that investment issue that we talk about all the time as well. The industry is reticent to to put money in if we're hearing from the Houston administration that that oil will be sunsetted here in the next ten or fifteen years.
I understand. Ron Klain, the chief of staff, who many people think is really running the government, said this moments ago. I say, first of all, we had Republicans saying, hey, he needs to do something about gas prices, and then we did something about gas prices, and they're like, well, don't do that.
So it's hard for me to take the criticism very seriously. Yes, can I respond to that? Yes. I'll respond to that. Is that all right?
Sure. I'd say, Ron, the three steps you announced yesterday, this is what you threw at the American consumer. You're going to release fifteen million barrels of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The United States consumes twenty million barrels a day. you're going to refill that strategic petroleum reserve in the future.
That's great. When I run my car out of gas, I put gas back in the car.
So I'm not going to applaud you for basic functionality of government. And the third thing you did was call on the energy companies to reduce prices. That's it. That's all you offered up yesterday as a major announcement.
So I have to say that we need more than that. We need far more than that. Why don't you start and go back to the things you s you did starting on your very day one? and rescind those 120 different actions, and then we got a deal. The 120 different actions to hurt the oil and gas industry and start pushing towards renewables.
Correct, yeah. Yeah, I mean, he also yes, they went out of their way to say that they were pushing you guys. You are making profits, but isn't that because you cannot maximize the product? And there's it's more and more in demand? And therefore, of course, the price is going to go up.
Well, yes. I mean, and you have sort of members of Congress who say, well, gosh dang, all the inflation is due to company profits. The inflation is due to prices, which then produce those profits. And I again, I hate to be crude, but LBJ said it best. about this administration.
I think he says, look, I mean LBJ said, I may not know much, but I know chicken crap from chicken salad. And I think American consumers you know, they can see this see through the crap that the administration is trying to shovel out right now, three weeks before the election.
Well, I guess we're going to find out.
So right now, have you felt the divestment from oil and gas fossil fuels from the major banks already? Yeah, a lot of my companies are still concerned. You know, this is not as liquid as it used to be. the administration was the old man was yelling at the cloud, so to speak, on stock buybacks yesterday as well. And the reality is the shale revolution was very, very expensive and it was very risky.
And now those companies are finally returning that investment back to shareholders. And that comes in the form of dividends and stock buybacks.
So it's true we've made profits, but the reality is we have the choice between returning our money back to the investors who've waited for 10 years to get it back. Or do we do more on CapEx? And companies are making those individual decisions. The interesting thing among that is among many things that the Biden administration doesn't understand, and you said this. just a few minutes ago about our industry is they don't understand who invests in us.
You know, CalPERS, the California retirement system, has forty three billion dollars in oil and gas stocks. That's in retirement funds. Anybody who has an investment in mutual fund is investing in this. And someone nine trillion of wealth has been erased you know, from the markets. And the administration is young, the only industry that has had a positive return over the past 18 months, and we want to return that to our investors, including grandmas and grandpas and retired teachers.
You know, they clearly don't understand how the markets work. I'm talking to Tim Stewart, President of U.S. Oil and Gas.
So, the 19 states are investigating major U.S. banks for pushing ESG policies and killing American companies.
So, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Chase, Morgan, Stanley, Wells, Fargo, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Missouri, Kentucky, Arizona, Texas, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska. You get the idea. The AGs are combining to find out what is going on. And if you are, for example, in West Virginia and you are divesting from fossil fuels, they will no longer allow your bank to be in West Virginia.
Will this help? I think it will. And part of the problem is the major ESG firms, they charge a premium for their ESG fund management. And it's twenty five basis points, it's higher.
So they make more money by pushing investors into ESG funds. Even though those returns are not necessarily going to be higher or better than some of the other traditional legacy companies.
So I think there's some merit to this investigation, and I think they're going to find some things that These companies or these investment firms are not necessarily operating in the best interest of the funds that they are managing. I mean, Tim, you're not I'm not we don't book you to talk about Congress and what their abilities are, but if the Republicans do get the House and Senate and they want it to increase production and if they want it to increase fracking, will they have you ever seen it bubble up from Congress to the White House?
Well, you know, there's an interesting and I actually I worked for Congress for a long time and so I've you know I watch these guys and the reality is there's a lot that you can do primarily through the ability to restrict the administration on its rulemaking ability and a lot of that a lot of the bad actions that have taken place against our industry over the last 18 months with the administration have been primarily through the rulemaking and the regulatory process. And a Congress can basically put a prohibition on any funds or actions going forward until such and such date.
So I think if the House flips or the Senate flips, or you're going to send some clear market signals to our industry that there's going to be parity, there's going to be more balance. I think that's going to restore some of the faith from the markets back into the oil and gas industry. And do you believe that LNG plants and terminals could be set up in Europe and we could be their main supplier? Yes, absolutely. Absolutely.
And again, the U. S. is an energy superpower, Brian. We ought we have been for years and years. We're the top producer of oil and gas, we're the top producer of coal.
We can do this, and we can provide for our allies.
So long as the administration doesn't come in with some lame idea like export like limiting exports or refined product exports, that just it harms our allies when they do that.
So why do I hear from Tim Stewart and other association presidents and not hear from Chevron and major companies on a pushback like that?
Well, trade associations, that's what they hire us to do. They hire us to go out and be the cannon fodder. And I understand that because they've got to answer to investors in Wall Street and others. You know, I appreciate our conversations because you've told me that we've got to talk louder and more often, and I've done that. And I'm starting to see my fellow trades take our lead and be a little more aggressive.
So thank you. I think you have directed us in the direction we needed to go.
Okay, it's okay. I just know enough how much I don't know. I spoke in front of Mansfield Oil. A family-owned oil company, and I spent the next 18 hours learning all about the intricacies of the business. And I cannot believe how complicated it is, how hard work it is, in so many cases, how little profit there is.
And to hear somebody who doesn't understand the business, doesn't have any interest in learning, talk about it, I find it endlessly frustrating. And I can't imagine you could even. Live your life without throwing things at the T V or your flat screen. Tim Stewart. That's for sure.
I'll take that. Yeah.
Thank you. You got it. Tim Stewart, thanks so much. He's president of U.S. Oil and Gas.
Turns out the President does not have it right. Back in a moment. What do you mean? Expanding your knowledge base. It's the Brian Kill Meet Show.
A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmead. Hey, welcome back, everybody. Just a quick note: I'm going to be able to go in front of a live audience, which I love best, in Tulsa, Oklahoma on November 13th. And I'll be able to talk about the President Freedom Fighter, which comes out on paperback on Tuesday.
Sam Houston, the Alamo Avengers, Thomas Jefferson, the Triple E Pirates, Andrew Jackson, The Miracle of New Orleans, George Washington, Secret Six. And Thomas Jefferson, the Triple E Pirates, because I just shouldn't mention that, along with sports, inspirational, motivational, very patriotic night. We've been doing this all across the country. I wanted to do it in Tulsa because every time I go to Tulsa in particular, we sign books at Barnes and Noble. It's fantastic.
But I never get a chance to talk to anybody. Just kind of by the way, between the pandemic and by the way, the layout of the store. And to go to be able to go to Mississippi and Brandon, Mississippi is fantastic because I never get a chance to go there, but I know we have listeners there and I know we have viewers there at Fox. And then following up in Newark, New Jersey, and I want to pull out all those people that seem to love Fox in Newark, New Jersey on December 2nd. If you just go to BrianKillMe.com, I'd love to see you all out there.
With Newark, New Jersey, especially WABC listeners, Frank Barano says he's going to be coming down there. I think I got Sid virtually to commit. Other news: Carly Shimkis says you guys might come by. Pete Hegseth is committed. We'll talk about his brand new book, and Rachel Campo's Duffy, and more surprises.
It's going to be a great night at a beautiful theater. At least that's what Gutfeld tells me. And also, my book comes out of paperback, and we added additional information. I kind of brought news to history, sadly, because they're trying to take down Frederick Douglass's statue, trying to take Abraham Lincoln's name off schools. And what is N take his statue down?
And what's the name of the book? The President and Freedom Fighter: Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and the Battle to Save America's Soul. The more you listen, the more you'll know. It's Brian Kilmead. I had a conversation this morning this morning or yesterday with the Chief of the U.S.
Border Patrol, Chief Ortiz and the He does not support declaring a state of emergency at this point. Our congresswoman has urged for us not to do that, and our county judge does not support that at this point. We may have to do that. I mean, there's going to be a point where we may have to do that. But at this point, and the White House has asked at this point for us not to do that.
That is the mayor of El Paso. Overwhelmed. You have to see this video if you haven't yet. It is a garbage dump through nothing to do with them. It's all illegal aliens.
They come there, they live on the street. Everything's overflowing. Ten cities have cropped up. Venezuelans lately, but it's been everybody. India, Sri Lanka.
You have obviously Cuba, which has always been an issue, horrible governments. And other people just want a better life. I'm coming. And they're staying in El Paso.
So the Democratic mayor was sending these buses to two major cities, including New York, where I am. And it's overwhelming. I get it. But it was the Democrats. They have put much more in buses and sent here three times as much as Governor Abbott has of the entire border city.
So you heard the mayor admitting getting pressure from the administration not to declare a state of emergency and now pressuring not to. Do it at all. And three members of the council, city council, said, What are you doing? And they told the story. He says, Yeah, the mayor has told me this, that they're getting pressure from Joe Biden's administration not to declare a state of emergency.
And then he comes out and says this to Dana Perino yesterday. Did the White House ask you not to declare a state of emergency? Absolutely not. You know, one of the things I'm very thankful for the White House, the Federal Government, they've done a really, really good job of working with us and helping us to make sure we get funding to be able to do the job that border cities are required to do. You know, as a border city, we have responsibilities.
What a joke. This guy is so afraid or in awe of the White House. He's not doing what's best for his people. And now he's going to allow that place to be a dump. El Paso to be a dump.
They want you moved to El Paso for small town America to be left alone, that Texas attitude, that can-do attitude, and now the federal government totally lets you down and you elect a mayor that is basically subservient to this government. It's a joke.
So, Claudia Rodriguez was on with Jesse. She was on with us on Fox and Friends 2. She's on the El Paso City Council. The guy is lying now. Cut 36.
I sit on City Council in El Paso, Texas. We're supposed to be a nonpartisan governmental body. And for me to hear that, you know, I was really floored because as much as the mayor wants to say this is not a political issue, yeah, those comments would probably say otherwise. Oh yeah, I think so. It is solid politics and it's sickening.
So this is what the administration is going to be kind of sad about and hopefully get their comeuppance in nineteen days. Border security. How many of you are extremely or very concerned about border security? When f Asked registered voters 67 percent. That's October 9th to the 12th.
Registered voters, 67 percent.
So, for those of you who are ignoring it, you couldn't thanks to Abbin and DeSantis. And now you see you're going to pay for it at the ballot box. If you don't, things are going to get a whole lot worse if they don't, if voters don't back up what they say to these pollsters. Where pollsters they say are more apt to get modest answers on issues than they are on candidates. I think that's Trump-oriented.
So, the other big story that I think just shows you exactly where the administration stands. It's what's happening in Arizona. What they tried to do is pile up shipping containers on these huge gaps in the wall that wasn't able to finish because Donald Trump lost the election.
So, they got this huge gap.
So, they filled up the 4,000-foot gap with these shipping containers that, when piled on top of each other, are 22 feet high.
So, now they fill in the gap on the wall and then they put razor wire on top in case they find a way to climb it.
So, 9,000 pounds, 20. 22 feet high. We'll handle it ourselves. You guys battle it out on when the wall is going to be built, which, by the way, we paid for already.
So now the federal government says: no, get rid of it. What do you mean, get rid of it? You're not allowed to do that. You're trespassing on federal land. What are you talking about?
So Arizona fired back the myriad of federal agencies that claim jurisdiction of the southern border but do nothing to prevent public nuisance caused by illegal immigration and criminal activity that exploit the open border is quite frustrating to those that live, work and recreate on the border and in our state. They're leaving it.
So the federal government is going to come down and they are happier with the huge gap.
So, you don't even have to debate with the wall works. We don't have enough border patrol to handle the entire border.
So, they ferry and funnel, or they just repel people overall into one area where at least they could try to attempt to process them. And now, the federal government in Arizona is trying to get involved.
So, Carrie Lake, what do you think? Do you think that she'd be the type of person to stand up to the federal government, use resources in order to make sure if those containers are taken out, that wall is rebuilt? I am sure she would. She's a fighter. And I think things like this with the Republican governor, who has been in the crosshairs of President Trump at times because he wouldn't admit, he never found that there was election fraud.
And of course, he didn't want to admit something he didn't believe.
So now Carrie Lake is the one who. To me, she is the most talented politician that I've seen in quite some time. Who I've never seen somebody more sure of herself in front of hostile crowds in hostile interviews than her. Knows the issues, is a broadcaster, but understands friction and seems to embrace it. Check it out.
So, something else not brought up. It's probably brought up in your house, but not in the president's house. 12,000 fentanyl pills were found packaged in. Drumroll, please. What's coming up?
Halloween? Candy at LAX at a TSA checkpoint. What does it look like? Looks like Skittles, looks like nerds, a million different candy brands. Why wouldn't you, if you're a little kid, see that, put that in?
If you are sinister, you're a criminal, you decide, I'm going to kill as many kids as possible. The same people that allow. what's equivalent of what we lost in World War two to die. Same thing with kids. That's how crazy it is.
So we will see what happens when it comes to what's happening at the border.
Now in terms of abolishing ICE, that's exactly what What Mandela Barnes has talked about doing in almost every Democratic candidate from Elizabeth Warren on down, Jonathan Fahey is a former acting ICE director. He's seeing these Wisconsin candidates in particular now try to backtrack on defunding ICE.
Now they say they didn't ever want to do it. That's not going to apply with him. Let's listen to 37. No, it's kind of interesting how he's trying to walk this back now because he's running for election, trying to center himself to the middle. But yeah, he was, you know, I don't know that he actually ever said it, but he was associated with groups like tweets, did other stuff to show that he wanted ICE abolished.
And it's really just anti-ICE.
So, you know. He and others that have been on this crusade to just take down ICE, demonize ICE agents in every single respect by calling them racist, delegitimizing what they're doing. Treating them like they're doing something heavy-handed, unlawful, and they've been simply just doing their job, trying to keep our communities safe and our country safe. And it really is disgraceful. And it is, you know what they do?
They get criminals. They're not getting the average illegal alien. There's just not enough of them. But when you hear about a criminal and they find their way into your city, your town, You're straight. Ice shows up.
And they take him out. Tough guys. And ladies, and they go in there and they hunt them down. They're almost like bounty hunters. They'll find them.
Now people are working against ICE, and now you have politicians working against ICE.
So the fact is they need security around their own bureaus or precincts, whatever they might be called.
So open up the borders. When you go to close the border, go after the governor. Really? Allow all these illegal immigrants to be used as pawns going from city to city because all the border cities are overwhelmed and governors aren't going to take it anymore, and the President just ignores it along with the fentanyl problem. How could this not be around?
How could it not be? It makes no sense.
So that's what's happening with illegal immigration. This tent city in New York is so outrageous. Today, Rachel Campow Stuffy last night went there. They wouldn't let her through the fence on Randall's Island, which is literally an island off Manhattan that is full of sports fields.
So you hear everything from field hockey to soccer to cricket to rugby raging. 25, maybe 50 fields there.
So guess what? Mostly males are going to be put in 10 cities. All right, they're going to get three meals a day. They're going to get the Xbox, they're going to get entertainment, they're going to get phone banks all for free on our money, our taxpayer dollars. And you know they're going to sit there and say, well, I'm on a board.
It's Saturday afternoon, 67 degrees. I'm in Randall's Island. I look out. I see these turf fields. I see these.
I'm going to go watch a few games.
Now, if they have no ill intent, still problematic. I don't know who they are. But if they do have ill intent, man, you have a lot of places to go because kids running back and forth, going underneath trestles, finding their car in these parking lots. I've been there, coached games, watched games there forever for 20 years. That's going to be extremely dangerous.
You just wait. And now they have two tents built, I think, handling 500 people. You know how many illegals there are? 20,000 plus. You know what the problem is?
The hotels, which are $400 a month, now people are starting to come to New York, and the hotel operators are saying, I want them out. I don't want I don't care how much money you give me you d they're destroying the place Nobody wants a homeless shelter in the middle of an elite hotel. I have people, you gotta go. That's why they're building the Ten City renting cruise ships. And Mayor Adams thinks this is a good job?
Are you nuts? When we come back, we'll find out if there's more to know. You listen to the Brian Kill Me Show. Also, a big announcement. Tomorrow, President Trump.
Will be joining us on the show along with Herschel Walker.
So make sure you listen. Or get the podcast. But I know you're getting it already. Don't move. Learning something new every day on the Brian Killmeat Show.
If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead. I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party. I have therefore spoken to His Majesty the King, To notify him that I am resigning as leader of the Conservative Party. And we set out a vision for a low-tax.
High growth economy. that would take advantage of the freedoms of Brexit. I guess it didn't happen. What kind of system is this? She comes out, let's say she didn't pitch it right or present it correctly, and she's out after 40 plus days.
I mean, come on, sorry, fire my finance minister to get back to work. It's like getting rid of, for example, Bill Clinton after he blew gays in the military as his first issue, and it had no popularity and people thought it was terrible, and his numbers cratered, or Obamacare failing, and his party getting shellacked like Barack Obama, then kicking Barack Obama out. I mean, what kind of system is that?
So, Liz Truss is out on the UK. Inflation's higher there. She wanted to cut taxes on the rich. That's Reaganomics. It probably would have worked, but the best it can because it fuels people.
It fuels It fuels people that are the most well to do, the most successful to maybe launch new businesses, hire new people, mentor more and actually fuel the economy. But she's out. And people are saying Boris Johnson's coming back. I have no idea if that's true. But it also makes me wonder if there's indeed more to know.
More. To know. All right. Nobody wants to work 9 to 5 anymore. Businesses often think about post-pandemic flexibility as the ability to choose where we work, but being able to choose when we work.
Why this matters, work whenever has allowed many types of workers to boost their productivity, including parents who make around a third of the U.S. workforce. Stunningly, employees with flexible schedules report 29% higher productivity and 53% greater ability to focus more than other set hours. That according to some Slack future format, Slack is a workplace software. What also matters, not nearly as place also matters, but not nearly as much as time.
Workers who choose where they work were 4% more productive than their fully in-person counterparts. What's your take on that, Allison? What have you noticed in the halls? And Eric, too. In the halls.
Well, no, I mean, I think people, I will say what I noticed more at home, people do appreciate being able to like log in later, right? They can like log off at 2:30, go pick up their kids from school, go to practice, do this and that, and then log back on when the kids are in bed to get stuff done. But here's the negative part: like you text somebody, it's four o'clock in the afternoon. They've already worked, let's say, four in the morning till two. You text them at four in the afternoon, next thing you know, they're working again.
they want to answer and then if you don't answer right away because i'm officially off work Well, I think it really depends on the industry and the style of work, but I know too, like, some people put real boundaries on it. Like, okay, like, at 2:30. I'm MIA again until 8 p.m.
So, if you need me in that window, make sure you ask me before or after. Eric, what do you think? Because you have a lot of people here who work different shifts. Do you know what you people you have to be in? You can't be at home.
Right, but do you notice that it's that people are more productive? The producers, the hosts? I think it depends on the industry. Having never worked remotely, I can see the benefits of cutting out the commute, for example. You save time, you can be more productive.
But you gotta be more disciplined. Right, oh yeah, well, if it were me, you know, I would try to keep the the same schedule, get dressed. In the morning, you know, same thing I would be wearing to work. Right. You know, same with these you feel like you're I would not be dressed until like two in the afternoon.
Like say at a nighttime show, no clothes. Nothing at all. But because you wouldn't be on TV outfits dirty. But you also wouldn't be on TV to tell yourself to please get dressed. Thank you.
That is my thing. The other thing is, for example, I don't have the setup of the illegal immigrants in Randall's Island. I do not have free laundry service. They fold the laundry and give it back to you. They probably even give them the clothes.
Dawn wants to fold your laundry? She, well, actually, she does. I do have a pretty good service.
Next. Um Wow, what's this? Happy sports equinox. Today is the 27th time in history that the big four pro leagues, the NFL, NBA, and NHL, Major League Baseball, all in action at the same time. This is pretty cool.
I noticed that last night. The Knicks and Nets both played. I don't know if hockey played. I'm not a big hockey guy, but I know, of course, the Yankees were playing. Baseball's in action tonight because Thursday night football.
That makes sense. Yeah, they say it happens more frequently. What does that mean? Does that affect anybody's lifestyle? I mean, you would think, you know, as a former sports guy, it would affect yours more than anything, right?
To watch more sports.
So you have more sports to avoid, in your case. Exactly. Next. Exercise can boost memory. Why that matters, we know that moving our bodies around will be help our memory.
Between the lines of the study, the author of the study says different types of exercise affect our bodies distinctly. Think about how long distance runners can strengthen your heart and legs while the bicep curls beef up your arms. They can also affect our brains in different ways. People who just wrapped up a rigorous workout, such as high-intensity interval training, were particularly good at spatial learning, recalling where something was. For example, there are my keys.
That's my wallet. That's my car. That's my suit.
Now I forgot I left it in the car. Also, People who've done lower intensity workouts, such as a walk, were good at naturalistic recall. I remember a left from a granola bar. That's my old natural moisturizer. The DPS.
It's a good story in the natural one. But is that what happened in the intervals of pickleball today? And then you might have remembered that you left a suit in the car. Yes, I think that's good. Yeah, we played pickleball today on Fox and Friends.
I have a long way to go.
Next, third time's the charm. Kamala Harris has hired her third chief speechwriter of her tenure in the latest staff change. The VP hired a new political speechwriter. According to Politico, the new head scribe is 38-year-old David Cavell. He previously penned speeches for John Kerry, Barack Obama, as well as Maura Healy.
and Deval Patrick. She has unnecessary complex speeches. She doesn't roll off the tongue.
Someone she'd write for is simple. I'm not saying she's simple. She needs simple. But Brian, when she speaks, which hopefully she's not reading a speech, she says the same words over and over and over again. You have no proof of that.
I had no proof of that at all. I'll give it a second. You have never had proof of that. How dare you? Here's my question: Do you think this speech writer will last longer than Prime Minister Trust?
Yes. I do think so, because no one's gonna quit in the last year well This is only the midterms. Oh, I will say this. If this guy quits, who's got the track record, that's a problem. Because she is going to give her most valuable speeches because in about six months, I think Joe Biden will say, I'm not running.
At which time it's going to be audition time. And if she's good and strong, some people won't get involved. They'll rally around. But I don't think that's going to happen. Do you think she's really going to be good and strong, even with a good speech writer?
I'm trying to create intrigue and interest with the show. I don't want to be so fatalistic. Quick announcement. The President Freedom Fighter comes out on paperback, and I got some good news. The tourist is coming into shape.
If you are Long Long Island in Bay Shore at Barnes and Noble, I'll be there on the 27th. I'm going to go to Rochester, New York, longtime home of Frederick Douglass on the 29th. I'll be in Vestoc at Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. On the 14th, I got another event, the Patriot Awards. I hope to see everybody there.
And then from there, I'm going to Myrtle Beach, WRNN listeners, 99.5. I want to see you there. And of course, WOKV. December 3rd. Put the power of over 100 meteorologists and the worldwide resources of Fox in your hands with the Fox Weather Podcast.
