Brian Killmead. All right, everyone, so glad you're there. Glad I'm here.

So much going on today as the President of the United States gets set to buckle up and go over to Italy to salute the dead pontiff, Pope's dead, and the president and he respected each other, but they did clash a little bit. Doesn't matter. President says a lot of Catholics voted for me. I'm going. And where he's going to have a lot of leaders, dozens of leaders that said, can I have a one-on-one with you?

This hour are going to be joined by New York Congresswoman Claudia Tenney. the intelligence ways and means, as well as Henry Queyar, Congressman from Texas, who is pro-life and pro-strong borders, and for the first time in his career could actually live in his border community and be proud of the security. And that's Trump. And he can't believe. That his party is jumping on the due process for MS 13.

Big three. Number three. Right now, Democrats are in the wilderness. They're not going to have a message or a leader for a while, I don't think, until the presidential primaries. And we'll see whether the party goes left, right, or center.

And that is Mark Penn. Makes a lot of sense. Dumbfounded. Dems have been fighting among themselves and going to bat for illegals more than anything else as they try to regroup after being thrashed in November. And meanwhile, they are hiding a steep decline by their president.

They lost credibility by bowing for Biden. We examine the unexpected infighting. Number two. What is your level of frustration with President Putin at this point? I wasn't happy with it.

And we're in the midst of talking peace and missiles were fired. And I was not happy with it. That's what I meant. And present being honest. And I'm frustrated from the outside.

Can you imagine being on the inside? Russia-Ukraine war coming to a head. Vladimir Putin continues to embarrass negotiators, including this president, with the brutal bombing, while the president tries to sincerely try to bring an end to the fighting and get both sides to trust each other. Yesterday's attack, which is on the cover of the New York Post today, an innocent woman, does not help. Number one.

The economy is in reasonable shape, but our economists have lowered their growth assumptions by 1% this year, 1.25%, and that's largely due to the uncertainty around how the tariffs will break. If it solves quickly, I think the U.S. economy will be fine. If it takes a year, that could be a little interesting. And that is Brian Moynihan, Bank of America.

Signs of hope with the market's steady rise this week, reflecting the progress that is made on dozens of nations on so-called trade deals.

Meanwhile, China and Trump send mixed signals at each other. What all this means for you.

So, what the market wants, and the market's down slightly right now after a pretty good week. Down one fifty-five, but Let's just see what plays out. As you know, when the President usually makes news, affects the markets by what he says, especially as it relates to trade.

So As you look at what happened, you look think about the trade deals, you think about China. China came out. and said essentially We're going to not buy pork from the U. S. For farmers, it's devastating.

Why? They're a huge consumer nation of pork.

So they came out and said we're going to cut that off. They also said that they're going to refuse to accept the Boeing jets that they paid for. I guess they want their money back. Donald Trump posted Boeing posted this. Boeing should default China for not making the beautiful finished planes that China committed to purchase.

This is just a small example of what China has done to the U. S. for years. And by the way, fentanyl continues to pour into our country from China. China answers by canceling 12,000 metric tons of U.S.

pork shipments, and China now wants to buy them from. Spain We should say, hey, Spain, you're a NATO nation. By the way, I only pay 1.2%. I don't want you buying that. From China.

There's got to be some retribution. When an ally gets in the middle here, look, I know Trump started this because we had to reconfigure this, but if Spain says I'm not going to get between you two, then they'll be forced not to hurt farmers, or else. The President's got to write a big check to farmers again, which they did last time, which in the big picture I think will help. Deals are getting caught. We saw it yesterday and we heard it from Kevin Hassett.

He's on with his good friend, former colleague, Larry Kudlow, yesterday. And here's what he's saying that he's seeing and hearing Cut Three. The President was correct in what he said, of course. And the bottom line is that everybody wants this to move forward in a positive way. And I expect that there'll be lots of positive news to break on that soon.

But the thing this weekend that I think is most interesting is that we've already had a week of meetings with virtually foreign ministers and finance ministers from every country. I've been literally lined up from morning to night with such meetings, as have Secretary Bessett, Secretary Lutnick, Jamison Greer, and so on.

So the president just told Time magazine in a huge article, not much in it, by the way. He takes it. He's also sat down with the Atlantic, which is unbelievable to me. But he says, all right, you know, we'll just sit down and do it. And they did it for the hundred days.

So He sat down with Time magazine. One of the things he said is hundreds of deals, about two hundred deals are ready to go. We're going to be announcing them in the next two weeks. I said this all along, not claiming its brilliance, but it's logical. Since we're reconfiguring, giving a blanket ten percent tariff on all while we renegotiate all, We get additional revenue coming in.

Except for China, where we got one hundred forty five percent tariffs, no one's really changing their mind on the purchases of these products to our shores and vice versa. But when you start doing the deals, the market's going to love it, especially when we heard what we heard yesterday. We had the Treasury Secretary come out and just say that we're getting that South Korea has been all over this, very aggressive, and we're about to cut a deal with them. Brian Moynihan, Bank of America, sat down with Brett last night. Guy kind of sets the pulse, gets into the fundamentals of the economy for obvious reasons.

President, not a big fan of his. He feels like some MAGA people have been debanked. But having said that, I thought he was very fair yesterday. Cut 11. An outline saying, hey, it won't get worse the next, I think that would be helpful.

If that were done with two or three countries, like the Treasury Secretary said, we think we could get that done. That would calm the market saying there's a way to a path to get there for country A, country B, country C. And I think that would be very helpful. It would be helpful because they say right now we're projected growth and he does not think we're heading towards a recession. Cut eight.

The economy is in reasonable shape, but our economists have lowered their growth assumptions by 1 percent this year, 1 and a quarter, and about a percent off of next year, and basically have put in half a percent to percent growth, which is far different than they had two months ago, three months ago, and that's largely due to uncertainty around how the tariffs will break. If it solves quickly, I think the U.S. economy will be fine. If it takes a year, that could be a little interesting. So I think it's very fair.

And the thing is, what the president does is you can get him on the phone.

So it's not these guys are oblivious. I remember Steve Jobs. Uh You know, probably the last year of his life, he wanted to help. Bring some tech and some advancement to Barack Obama. Everyone loved Obama.

He was cool. He was young. And the economy was struggling.

So Steve Jobs, also back with Apple. He helped Barack Obama, and they talked. And he said, Listen, I want to come and help you guys and try to modernize some of your systems. Couldn't get Barack Obama on the phone. Couldn't get him on the phone.

And he frustrated. He's like, this guy doesn't want any help. Not only did I donate to him, but I want to get him on the phone. And then I watched the owner of the Golden State Warriors, who was on with Andrew Schultz over the weekend. And he's a longtime Democratic donor.

And he said, you know, I was the type of donor where I would have business with the cat, I would have dinner with the candidates. And what I would do is my way of giving back would be, okay, these are my companies, but I'd offer them insight on some of the things they were doing with the economy. Not that I wanted to do to make my business better, I'd think it'd make the country better. He said, Even though I'm a high end donor. And he's telling this to three comedians.

He couldn't get Biden on the phone. He couldn't get Obama on the phone. He said, I am a supporter of this administration. I could get any single one of them, whether it's Lutnick, Besson, or the president, on the phone quickly. All I have to do is let him know that I need to talk.

And you know what? I don't ask for things. I let them know what's going on in different sectors. And we need to reconfigure Our trade relationship with all these countries, and I'm supportive of it. But he said, use one term instead of another.

And he relayed this to the administration. He said, don't say reciprocal. Because our economies, for example, are so much bigger than Vietnam. Say proportional. In proportion of what your country is worth, you should be paying this much to us and we should be paying this much to you, or we go down to zero.

I thought that was so fascinating.

So when you have a Brian Moynihan, even though Trump's not a big fan, he let him know it at one of those conferences, didn't yell at him, just said, I don't agree with some of the stuff you did, he could still get him on the phone and say, This is what worries me. I think Jamie Diamond's the same way, can get right to the president.

So here's what he said. about an interest rate cut. And the President was so smart to come out this week and say Not going to fire J-Powell. Just say it. A did, Market responded.

Got nine. JP Morgan had put the probability of a recession at 60%. You all came out and said the bank doesn't see a recession. That was April 15th. You're still in that spot, right?

Yeah, our research team, which is the Candace Browning team, they don't see a recession. They don't see the Fed cutting rates this year. They see them cutting starting mid-next year because they think inflation will be a little sticky and then the Fed will bring rates down by 100 basis points next year, not this year. And they see the economy slowing a lot. And that's where we've got to be careful.

Yeah, and we'll see. The economy's slowing. But I have an analogy that I'm going to put on television that I think is brilliant, but nobody else really does. Maybe Eric and Pete. Will placate me by saying it's brilliant.

But I will tell you why I believe this could be a banner year. Quickly, by the summer and fall, everything changed so rapidly. Why the polls don't even matter for so many reasons. But first hundred days, he's plowing the ground, he's turning over the soil, he's reconfiguring the minor leagues and getting ready to go to the major leagues. And when that's all ready to go, They're going to be ready to compete, but that's not the analogy.

I got a better one. Congressman Claudia Tenny, when we come back. It's Brian Killmead. Fox News Audio presents the Fox Nation Investigates podcast, Evil Next Door, exploring the life and crimes of five serial predators from across the United States. Listen and follow now at FoxtrueCrime.com or wherever you get your favorite podcasts.

If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead. We've been talking about strong border security for so many years. And now, you know, there are Democrats who are talking about the border, but with all due respect, when you're talking about bringing somebody, and I know there was due process questions from that was in Maryland and now in Salvador. I don't know if that's the right issue that Democrats should be focusing right now.

That was Congressman Henry Quayer, a Democrat at the border who was relentless in trying to seal the border, had great ideas. No one was listening to him in the Democratic administration, and now he sees it sealed. I'll talk to him in 10 minutes. But right now, I want to talk to Congresswoman Claudia Tenney, the Republican from New York. She's on intelligence, ways and means, and she also went to that notorious prison over in El Salvador.

Congresswoman, welcome back. How do you feel? Do you think that are you surprised Democrats are focusing on due process when it comes to would-be gang members and deportees? Yeah. Brian, thanks for having me on.

And that was a wonderful quote from Henry Quare, who is a common sense Democrat. There's not too many of them. And he knows that this is a huge issue for everyone. It doesn't matter if you're a new Citizen of the United States, or someone who's been around for most of your life, like I have. Look, this is a huge problem.

It's the reason President Trump won. It's the reason Republicans did well across the nation. You can't have a sovereign nation. You can't have self-governance based on our very fragile notion of freedom unless you have a secure border and everyone's buying in. You can't just have people coming in and taking advantage of the wealth, whether it's relative wealth of the rest of the society.

And Henry Cuir knows that. He knows a lot of new immigrants have come to this country because they're seeking exactly what we have: the freedom, the security that a government is supposed to provide us. And that's exactly what President Trump is trying to restore. The freedom that we lost under President Biden is hurting us economically and in terms of security. And we're seeing Democrats embracing.

An MS-13 gang member, someone who has received due process, by the way, through a couple of different courts, a trial-level court, an appellate-level court.

So I just think it's absurd, but that's just the effect. Of their hatred and their Trump derangement syndrome, they will embrace all kinds of things that they would never support if it were coming from someone else other than Donald Trump. What was it like seeing that prison? What were your conversations like with the people? Yeah, it was really something I'll never forget.

It was stunning in many ways. Obviously, I come from New York. Many of the prisons in New York State are in my district or near my district. I have Auburn, which is just outside my district, but was in my old district. The oldest prison in the United States, and I have Attica, both maximum security prisons.

They look like country clubs next to this prison. The prisoners are basically in many ways running the prison. As you know, Brian, this past year, because of Governor Hochl and her lack of respect for our corrections officers, we had two prisons in our state overrun by prisoners where we have to have the National Guard there right now because the conditions are unsafe for prisoners. Unsafe for our corrections officers and unsafe for our communities. That did not happen at CCOT, which is this terrorism center where they're bringing specifically MS-13 and other gang members.

Look, the conditions are stark. The prisoners do not get access to tablets. They do not get conjugal visits or visits with family. They don't have any access to the internet. They get one hour a day of calisthenics and exercise.

They get a very limited amount of food. They are gang members. They are people who are notorious for extortion, for human trafficking, drug trafficking. And they indicated to us that many of them had, it's not one murder, several. And one of the inmates that we met had 13 murders.

And a couple of them admitted that they'd murdered people. These are dangerous people involved in drug trafficking, involved in human trafficking, rape, terrorizing our businesses, especially in El Salvador. And I'll say one interesting thing about this, Brian. El Salvador. is one of the safest countries in the Americas, going from one of the most dangerous to one of the safest.

And guess what's happening now that Bucale, the president, is cracking down on exactly what the people wanted him to do? That crime, the gang crime, is moving to other countries like Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, places where Americans are going and now we have the gangs operating there.

So now businesses in El Salvador can thrive. They can have safe streets. Their children can go to school. And so while I think the conditions were fairly depressing to see, these prisoners were not being treated like they were in a country club like they are in, for example, New York State.

So, yeah, in New York State, there's still a Sanctuary City policy. How do you stand? Yesterday, Mayor Adams came out and said, please, Mr. President, restore the wind, the windmills that were going to help provide energy for Brooklyn.

Now, the windmills offshore to a Norwegian company. Obviously, there are huge studies on the marine life, the dolphins, the whales that it's killing, and people don't want to see it. Where do you stand with that? Yeah, it's absurd. First of all, on the sanctuary city policy, that's part of it.

That's technically not a law, but it's something that's being done by not just cities, but college campuses across upstate New York as well. Remember, these problems in New York are because of the state law. It's the crime. It's happening everywhere. I was one of the co-founders of the Northern Border Security Caucus.

It was to make us safer because we're seeing almost a 90% of the people on the terror watch list are coming across our northern border, easy access to places like New York City where they can get sanctuary, but also the 2019 Greenlight Law, which was put in place by Governor Cuomo, who is now leading in the polls to be the New York City mayor. A terrible situation. The Greenlight Law prohibits police from working with local ICE agents, and that was exactly what the 9-11 Commission said we needed to do. Our police need to work together to prevent this kind of crime. And Claudia, I got to stop you right there.

You're a great legal mind. Why did the sanctuary We were trying to deny, the federal government was trying to deny money to sanctuary cities, and a judge says, you're not allowed to do that, Donald Trump. Why? It's absurd. No reason.

There are people that are in New York State elected by left-wing Democrats, or in the case of Supreme Court judges, they're elected by a judicial convention in left-wing New York, or they're appointed by a Democrat who are just trying to overreach on their judicial power. And this is why we have a separation of powers, Brian. I'm a lawyer. My dad was a New York State Supreme Court judge, we think one of the longest serving over 35 years. The judges have to stay in their lane.

They have to interpret the law, not make law. It's amazing.

So frustrating. You're doing a great job, Congresswoman Claudia Tenny, the 24th District of New York. Henry Coyar, next. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show.

Right now, Democrats are in the wilderness. As I point out that in 1972 and 1984, They managed to spin the party down to a single state out of 50.

So it is possible that that could happen again if the party doesn't get back into the center and continues to take on kind of left-wing policies. It's very clear that people looked back on the Biden administration and said, you know what? He really wasn't competent to be president. I'm not even sure he was president. And Biden's numbers went into the tank.

The Democrats' numbers went into the tank. For having defended an administration that was seen as creating inflation, leaving an open border, and all of these other things that, in retrospect, the Nobody really favored outside of the left wing of the Democratic Party. That was Mark Penn, Democratic strategist who worked with the Clintons. I think he's really balanced more now, as is my next guest, Congressman Henry Crayar, a Democrat, pro-life, Texas, 28th District. The Democrats have a good time, always trying to primary and get him out.

And the people love him and they want him to stay. Congressman, welcome back. Hey, thank you so much for having me again. I hope you're doing fine and happy Friday. Hey, Congressman, I was able to go to NORAD for a feature I'm doing and talk to them and their role they're playing in securing the border.

And I thought of you, because you had all these great ideas about how to secure the border respectfully and responsibly. And Barack Obama didn't want to hear from you. Joe Biden didn't want to hear from you. I have no idea why. But now give me an idea from Henry Queir's perspective.

What is the border like?

Well, you know, certainly, you know, if you look at some of the latest CBP numbers, the crossings in March are the lowest Southwest border crossings that we've had in history.

So I got to give kudos to the administration because they're able to do several things. One, they got the countries like Mexico, Panama, and other countries to stop people before they're coming in. Then at the border, they stopped the catch and release. The policies are important. The policies are important.

And they implemented the right policies. And second of all, you got to be able to use the military not to do law enforcement, but they can certainly provide intelligence and birds, you know, aircraft to provide a lot of intelligence and so many other things.

So having that right mixtures of playing defense outside the one yard line called the U.S. border that is working with those countries, having the right policies at the borders, no catch and release. And finally, having the right mixture of the military working with Homeland Security.

So kudos to the administration on border security. Right.

So I understand the military is playing a role. They took some land that was part of the Secretary of the Interior's division, and they said, okay, military, you can use it and set up on it. And they're really concerned about the cartels and the coordinations as well as the crossing. While sending the message, don't sell your life savings. Don't give up your life savings.

Don't get rid of your house and come. This is not the time. How is the military presence working? I hear it's more than symbolism. Yeah, it's more than sybilism.

I met with the military here in Laredo. They're down here, and they're good people, good men and women. They're doing the work.

So what they're doing is, for example, that land that you're talking about, I thought it was a smart way, the way they did it. They said the military is going to take over. Once they take that over, then the military can play a role in detaining and, of course, handing the folks over to border security, to Homeland Security.

So again, it's not just having the military doing support staff, like sitting behind a joystick watching cameras. No, actually using the skills that the military has to supplement what a border patrol can do.

So I also hear at the wall. They said the wall's big, but these guys will try to get over it. And then they put Constantina wire up there, and they still try to throw a blanket over it, and they try to use it. And now, some of the 20-something-year-old engineers came out with a way of using the Constantina wire on the other side.

So they know if they get the other side, it's still waiting for them as they go to drop. And it's been unbelievably effective as a deterrent. Have you seen any of this? We don't have a wall in Laredo. Without due respect, we still feel that a wall is a 14th-century solution in this area.

But I can tell you this: I can tell you this: by having the right policies, no catch and release, by making sure we have technology, by building, we need to build river roads. Border Patrol wants those river roads so they can patrol up and down, getting rid of Carrizo Cain, which just stops the line of sight of Border Patrol. But the most important thing is do not, do not, do not do catch and release. And I can tell you, I was talking to Border Patrol yesterday. The morale is up because they feel that the administration has their back.

And when the Border Patrol's morale goes up, then that is good for border security along the border. You always tell me about messaging. Show me the video. Of people being sent back because that ripples through Central and South America, and who knows, China for a while was coming off, all these other countries. And now we're seeing, obviously, we're seeing a lot of the turnaround.

How much of that has to do with the traffic being less? And how much is it Mexico? sincerely trying to enforce their southern border.

Well, you know, certainly the President Trump put the pressure on Mexico to do more to stop fentanyl. And of course, you know, we've seen all those criminals that they sent over to the U.S. to be tried here. Fentanyl has slowed down, but again, we need to do a lot more.

So the president has gotten Mexico to engage a lot more. If you can get them to play defense on their 20-yard line instead of our one-yard line called the U.S. border, then the better it is.

So using that pressure and not doing any stop and release the right policy, but more importantly, Images. I could not get the prior administration to do that. In fact, somebody at the White House told me, No, we don't want to do that because we don't want to aggravate our advocates, the immigration advocates. I just couldn't believe they were saying that. They were putting the immigration advocates above our border communities.

And I knew at that time that we were totally on a different page.

Now, the administration, the current administration, the Trump administration, they're showing images. Those images of people going back are powerful images, powerful messages that are certainly working at this time. Can you tell me who an immigration advocate is? These groups or these people? What do you mean, immigration advocates?

Well, those are people that represent immigrants, you know, don't want detention centers and they fight for the rights of the immigrants. And again, look, my parents came in from Mexico, and I want to treat people with respect and dignity. But again, when you pay attention more to the immigration advocates and don't pay attention to border communities and the rest of the United States, then your priorities are not set correctly. How do you feel about NGOs? That's you know, you see the guys from Doge, they can't believe how much money they get, how well unaccountable it is.

You know, Catholic Charities is one of them. Do you believe that that needs to be fully examined and investigated?

Well, look, look, the reason this was set up some years ago was because when people were coming to the border, the border communities were taking the blunt of what was happening here.

So we wanted to help border communities. But I think it's been maybe stretched a little bit beyond the original intent. It was supposed to be for border communities, you know, the cities, McAllen, Laredo, El Paso, that were taking care of those migrants because the federal government was not stopping them. And the border communities, which are poor border communities, were taking the brunt of this.

So again, you know, should we look at them? Yes, but again, keep in mind that there was a purpose why this program was set up.

So what I don't understand is, you know, some of these people are dangerous. You know MS-13 was coming across. You know about TDA before anybody knew. There's a sense among this administration, by the way, that. That they were sent here intentionally to cause havoc because we have been very adversarial with Venezuela because of their sham elections and their ridiculous dictators, Maduro.

So they were here to create havoc, and they did. But when the administration would say the border is secure, We all knew it wasn't. And now, in retrospect, people are saying it wasn't. That was a mistake. What was their intent?

I mean, no one intends to be this inept unless they wanted to be this inept. What do you think, Henry Quayar?

Well, I can certainly tell you this. When they were saying that the border was secure, I live in the border. I represent a lot of counties here. It was, without due respect, it was laughable when they would say that the border was secured. It was not, you know, when you saw thousands of people coming in every day.

And what was scary was this. There are certain countries like Mexico, the Northern Triangle, Honduras, Guatemala, they share information on immigrants, but Cuba doesn't, Venezuela doesn't, Nicaragua doesn't.

So why are we going to let people in when you have no idea who these people are and then let them roam the streets of the United States while you wait four or five years for an immigration court hearing? That was wrong. Absolutely wrong. Was it intentional? Was their goal and their view to get as many Hispanics in this area because their belief, and it's wrong, look at the polls, is that Hispanics vote for Democrats.

Do you think that that was the secret closed-door meeting? I don't know. I was certainly not in the inside circle when it came to these decisions by the prior administration. I don't know what their intent was, but I can tell you what was obvious. When you're letting criminals into the United States or letting people in not knowing what their criminal history are, Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and other countries, that is negligence.

That is negligence. No ifs, no buts about it. I saw this some years ago before this last election. I could feel this. Tension, this current of what's going on with my district.

It's a Hispanic district, 80% Hispanics. And there was something wrong here. I could sense it because people were saying, Our parents came in the legal way. They came in, became legal residents, and they came in and did it right way. But when you see people jumping in, not knowing who they are, that's something wrong.

So I sensed this before this last election. And this last election with the Hispanic community in South Texas, the dam busted. I mean, they just busted. They said, we don't want this, and we're going to vote for somebody that will secure the border. And they voted for Trump.

Now, in my election, I outperformed both presidential candidates in South Texas because they knew that I had been standing for strong border security for many years. Absolutely true.

So, the last thing I want to ask you is about this MS-13. A guy that's in El Salvador that's human trafficking. We know that. We have the video. That was the.

To Sid, that was the. Conclusion made by the cop that pulled him over in 2022. We know that if you look at the police report, hanging out with MS-13, with the Buffalo, excuse me, with the Chicago Bulls paraphernalia, and even had a rank, according to the gang expert that pulled him over, beat his wife twice. Are you shocked that six different Democrats have flown down to meet with him? Look, I'm not going to criticize some of my colleagues that can do whatever they want to do, but I will tell you this about what I would do.

This is not the right issue to talk about due process. This is not the right case. This is not the right person to be saying that we need to bring him back to the United States. I understand the arguments about due process, but this is not the case to fight on. Democrats should not take this issue.

Again, when you look at immigration, is this the immigration case you want to take to fight on? In my opinion, absolutely no. I hear you. Congressman, we had the The Health and Human Services Secretary came out and said he wants to solve autism by the fall. And he thinks he's going to be able to, he has commissioned massive studies to find out what the cause of it is.

You just received the 2025 Autism Advocacy Award by the Autism Society of America. Number one, congratulations for what you do. Thank you, sir. And how do you feel about where we're heading with this investigation? Because the numbers, I think it's one in 30 kids is diagnosed with it.

Okay. Yeah, and it's something that, you know, really affects so many parents. I mean, name one of your friends, like I can name friends, or people that we know, and they have a child that has autism.

So, you know, I certainly support the Secretary to do everything to find out. I don't know about the timetable. We can do that by that timetable, but I certainly want to support them because it is something that the numbers are growing. Maybe we're doing a better job at a diagnosis of it, but I don't know. But, you know, Chris Smith, the Republican myself, we led the legislation to reauthorize the work on this.

We need to, I sit on appropriations. I certainly want to provide the funding to the Secretary. But it is something that no matter who you are, you know somebody or a family that has a child. It's just devastating. And they say there are no two cases alike.

So it's really challenging. Congressman, thanks so much for what you do. I just think that at one point, the Party has to realize you're not the problem. They seem to think you're the problem because you try to be rational and serve your community. Do you think you're going to be primarily again?

I have no idea, but the last two primaries, the lefties spent over $20 million against me. And here I am. They just don't understand when outsiders come in and think they know my district better, they're wrong. And I think most people don't want to have a purity test. They just want to be able to represent middle America, you know, in the middle.

And that's how you do it. And that's why I get a lot of independents and moderate Republicans that come out and support. You got to represent middle America. Congressman Henry Quayard of Texas. Thanks so much, Democrats.

Anytime, have a wonderful day. Go get him. Listen, I'll be able to squeeze in some calls when we get back. That was a Democrat like John Fetterman, who will say things are going good when they're going good, even if a Republican is behind it. And he's always pro-border security.

Back in a moment. Both sides, all opinions. It's Brian Killmead. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show.

I don't want to get too much into that, but I think The minute you play the Hitler card, you've lost the argument. Yes. And also, I must say, you know Come on, man. Hitler, Nazis. Nobody was been harder about And on and more prescient, I must say, about Donald Trump than me.

I don't need to be lectured on who Donald Trump is. Just the fact that I met him in person didn't change that. And the fact that I reported honestly is not a sin either. But You know, To use the Hitler thing, I first of all, I just think it's kind of insulting. To six million dead Jews, you know, like that should kind of be in its own.

Place in history. Hey, Bill, there you're talking about Larry Davids' editorial in the New York Times where he compared, he said, basically, dinner with Hitler and compared it to dinner with Bill Maher had with Donald Trump. Bill, no offense, comparing to Hitler, it is Trump that should be insulted. Not only the six million Jews that were killed by Adolf Hitler, as bad as it gets, ever. Anytime he used the analogy, and Al Gore used it.

Al Gore used it to describe Trump because in like his climate change policy. But, Bill, the main people the guy should be insulted is the guy that was compared to Hitler. It's Donald Trump. I'm going to focus on that on One Nation Sunday at 10 o'clock. I think you'll find it interesting.

It's your other guy, Larry Davids, going full De Niro. From Hayatop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Killmead. Here we go on a beautiful spring day. Here is the Brian Killmead Show coming your way from 48th and 6th in Midtown Manhattan, where scared.

I'm kind of thrilled. Evidently, the tourists are down because everyone's mad at us because of the tariffs.

So I could actually walk in the street and on the sidewalk again. Uh evidently New York Is not as attractive this spring and summer as a tourist destination. More on that later. Or is that people just trying to run down the tariff situation with Donald Trump? President of the United States has already left.

He's heading over to Italy for the funeral of the Pope. Who had some questionable things to say about the president? The president ripped right back at him in Trumpian style. We have that going on. And what else is happening today?

Of important Secretary of State Rubio hosts a Declaration of Principles signing ceremony with the Democratic Republic of Congo. Why does that matter? They have. Rare earth. And they want to do a deal.

And they don't like the deal that China gave them. And I think it's part of our reconfiguring who we have relations with. At the bottom of the hour, Kelsey Grammer, Emmy Award-winning actor and film producer, but host of a brand new Fox series, Blood on the Bridge, The Battle of Lexington and Concord. I looked at it. It's going to be available on Fox Nation.

It is phenomenal. Kelsey Grammer will join us on Zoom. And Charlie Hurt is in person. Let's get to the big three. Number three.

Right now, Democrats are in the wilderness. They're not going to have a message or a leader for a while, I don't think, until the presidential primaries. And we'll see whether the party goes left, right, or center. And they should just have real primaries. Don't put your foot on the scale or the hand on the scale.

Dumbfounded. Dems have been fighting amongst themselves and going to bat for illegals more than anything else as they try to regroup after being trashed in the last election and hiding their steep decline of their president. People have lost trust in them. How do they stop the infighting? Number two.

What is your level of frustration with President Putin at this point? I wasn't happy with it. And we're in the midst of talking peace and missiles were fired. And I was not happy with it. That's what I meant.

I don't think there's any doubt about it. And that is really, that is Donald Trump saying you're abusing the respect that I'm showing you. Brutal bombing. Time for Trump to show his characteristic toughness. It's all Putin understands, as he hopes he has the emissaries carrying, he has the same toughness he needs for his emissaries as they go into nuke talks round three with Iran.

Number one. The economy is in reasonable shape, but our economists have lowered their growth assumptions by 1% this year, one and a quarter. And that's largely due to the uncertainty about how the tariffs will break. If it solves quickly, I think the U.S. economy will be fine.

If it takes a year, that could be a little bit tricky. There we go. That is Brian Moynihan, Bank of America CEO. Signs of Hope with the market's steady rise this week, reflecting the progress on dozens of nation-to-nation trade deals as China and Trump send mixed signals on each other. What does all this mean to you?

Charlie Hurt, fresh getting set to host Fox and Friends for the next eight hours over the weekend, and fresh off Laura Ingram show, and then doing Fox and Friends. You are ready for anything. I am ready for anything. I've been tested and prepared by the one and only Brian Kilmey. And by the way, let's see.

Teach me analogy. You didn't even sleep, so you went right from news to news to news.

So I hope you don't mind. We're going to talk origami. Oh, good. That's my specialty when I'm not doing bow and arrow. Right, exactly.

Which I had a brilliant analogy with this morning. But have you let go yet, or are you still holding on to the string? Boo. Like a bow.

So this is my feeling about the economy. What's the market doing now? It's down barely, but it could reverse quickly. There's 17 screens in here. Where do you look for the market?

113. Yeah, it's to the right on Fox Business. Oh, there we are. 113. It's down.

So here's what I'm saying. President Trump has got the tariff situation. He's got literally dozens of deals set to go. He pulls the bow back a little bit more. Then he goes to the Interior Secretary and says, I want expanding of drilling.

He says, I'll do it. And I'm going to do it on federal land. I'm going to expand it in the Gulf of America. The bow goes back a little bit further. Then I'm doing massive deregulation, only in a way that's even more intelligent, more structured, and there are more targets because Joe Biden's been abusing and regulating even more than Barack Obama.

Pulled the bow back even further. And then you had the big, beautiful bill. That's going to make the tax cuts permanent and have additional spending for the Pentagon, and also go into no taxes on tips, pull the bow back even more. When you come in with the big one, hopefully it's China, and you come in with the trade deal, you let go. And I just see when people, I laugh when people say his economics are down.

It's all gonna change. He is plowing the ground now. You as a farmer, plowing the ground now. Fake farmer. Yeah, he has to.

He has to do this. He did going along to get along, using spackle to keep the holes from the water in is not going to work anymore.

So you so you're I didn't let go of the bow you're an archer using spackle, so you're like a drywall guy and an archer all in the same day. What about my imagery? Which is really remarkable. What about the imagery? You need spackle to cover up the holes made by the bow and arrow in your wall because the problem is you were shooting your bow and arrow in the house.

And you need to take it outside. Here's Donald Trump cut to. We talked about trade and uh we will Definitely we get along very well on trade. we'll do something, but uh I think the Prime Minister knows that Over the years the United States has been very good to a lot of people. And uh it's time for us to uh benefit also.

So we're going to have a good relationship on trade?

So that's the President just basically sign off on anything that Norway of Norway will sign off on anything the President wants.

So he's just saying we're rebalancing. You know who's doing this now too? Germany. Germany's saying I'm tired of carrying the EU and they're right. Even though they're struggling now for the in German terms, they're saying, Can we have to be somewhat selfish?

We don't want to be the bag man for Brussels. Yeah, so obviously, Trump likes a lot of moving parts, and that's what you see right here. He's talking to Norway, he's talking to the UK, he's talking to all these different countries. But I think at the end of the day, it really is all about China. And to him, he recognizes the importance of challenging China and trying to bring parity to the trade relationship with China.

All of this other stuff, I think, is a little bit of shiny objects. But you know, you can get some low-hanging fruit by negotiating with these other countries, with China, with Mexico, with Canada, with other trading partners, the EU, and you can actually get some favorable changes made. But I think for the Trump administration, they believe that it's all about China. And at the end of the day, they believe that the Chinese economy is more dependent on our economy than we are. on them We'll see if that's true or not.

But then, you know, you step back and you look at sort of the bigger political fight, and the bigger political fight is. A lot of people feel like we have been taken advantage of by China over the past 20, 30 years. Everybody knows we have been. Yeah, as manufacturing has been offshored to China and other places, but China especially. And so the political fight of Trump fighting with China is a very good thing on the political front.

Obviously, it doesn't calm the markets much, but.

Well, a couple of things. It looks like China wants to grind it out. They think by the president yesterday saying that he would bring the tariffs down from 145, but not equal, it shows that he is weakening. For Chinese leaders, it strengthens their resolve, according to the Wall Street Journal, that Trump will eventually cave if they wait him out, which is not good, and I don't think he will. But he'll go up and down.

One day he'll say, I'll go a little bit this way. The next way he said, no, no, we're not going to do it. For example, blistering them for canceling the planes. Nine planes delivered. They said, fly them out.

We're not paying. We should make them pay for those planes. You've got to be kidding me. That has nothing to do with the tariffs. Arifs.

Well, we should make them pay for COVID-19 as well. But no, exactly. And, you know, you think about it from China's perspective. China operates on a 50-year and 100-year scale. They're not used to dealing with American presidents who are willing to endure actual pain for any period of time whatsoever.

And say what you want to about Donald Trump, he is willing to endure pain for some kind of victory at the end of it.

So, what they say is, what they fear, and what Home Depot executives have said and big box stores have relayed, is that there's going to be some empty shelves because Chinese, the speed and velocity, the velocity and the scope of the products that they deliver to us regularly. And that moment will. will panic to Trump supporters and congressmen. We'll see. I mean and the thing that Scott Besson said a couple of weeks ago is it was a remarkable thing to hear a politician say this openly.

What he said the Treasury Secretary said was that, look, the American dream is not unlimited cheap goods from China. And, you know, that's not, you know, we kind of talk privately about that. And that is certainly sort of a, I think that he's probably right about that. But the idea that you would have an administration that comes out and says exactly that, because you know what, it is going to be hard on people who shop at Walmart, who suddenly can't buy things as cheaply as we're accustomed to buying them. But that's the point of having a trade war, is that it's painful.

So then you wind up with America, you know, having these goods created in America instead of China. There's been no retaliatory tariffs except Canada and China. And there was thought about it, but they backed off in the EU. They said they're going to wait it out, work it out. And Maloney led the charge there.

I think the president's going to have a bunch of meetings in Rome. He's going to go to the funeral, but there's a bunch of dozens of leaders that want to meet with him in Rome. See, the thing is, Charlie, I got to get a scope of what these deals look like. For example, the USMCA took two years. Robert Leidhiser had to work Nancy Pelosi and Democrats.

Karl Rove told me yesterday that he thinks it's got to be okay by Congress. Kevin Hassett said it does not have to be overked by over had to be okay by Congress.

So these must be scaled down. Scale down Agreements as opposed to trade deals.

Well, whether they you know, we could have a constitutional argument about whether they need to be approved by Congress or not. But at the end of the day, it is probably best to come up with something that is Politically popular enough and effective enough that you can get Congress. It's always better if you have two branches working in concert to do something. And that brings up the political question. And that's why I think that the idea that you have Democrats reflexively defending MS-13 or reflexively going after Trump for fighting with China is Crazy.

It's insane. And I believe that a lot of these Democrats are going to wind up backing up. You know, you've listened to for decades, you listen to Truck Schumer, you listen to Bernie Sanders, you listen to Democrats, Nancy Pelosi, talking about the evils of China and what they do to our economy. And now they've become the chief defenders of China. My point is that if you come up with something that puts the United States on a better footing against China, you can get Congress to go along with it because they're going to have to abandon these crazy news.

A couple more minutes, and I know you need some rest. You've been on too much, too long. I haven't eaten. I'm starving.

Okay, I didn't ask that. I'm just telling you, I'm I'm really hungry. I thought, you know, you said that since you bought me coffee this morning, which I need to eat. Susan Rice still sits on the executive council of the Pentagon, which has got to stop. You know, she's as distrustful as it is.

She's right at the heart of the Russia scandal under when Barack Obama was leaving and Donald Trump was coming in the first time. Listen to what she said yesterday about DEI and Pete Hakeseth, Cuff 46.

Well, if you're a white male Christian cisgender macho MAGA man, you can be as dumb as a rock and be deemed qualified to serve as Secretary of Defense. That's apparently what we've learned from this episode. But but let's also be clear, there's a serious point here. DEI has been used as a slur. to suggest that anybody who might be a woman.

Might be a person of color, might be a religious minority, anybody who fits the mold of somebody who is not. A white Christian cisgender. Male. Is by definition in this administration deemed inferior. How do you feel about her assessment?

If you're using the word cisgender, I don't even know what that means, by the way. You're losing. What does that mean? I don't have no idea either. I think it, I have no idea.

Eric, do you know? It's it's cisgender. Is that like a man's? I believe it's when you're born a biological male. Oh, or female, cisgender.

So it's an affliction? Is that a handicap? That's how they use that.

Okay. It's insane. And not only is it insane at that level, but when you, again, when you come out, when you get out of sort of the particulars of the legal arguments that we're going through with DEI or any of the, as a political matter, it's called political suicide. If you're talking about cisgender, it's political suicide. You cannot win on these things.

And this is why Democrats have lost every single lever of power in Washington because they're talking about crazy stuff like this. And the problem for Democrats is that they are so deeply invested in it. You have people like Susan Rice who have not gotten the memo that they need to stop talking about it. They're still talking about it and they keep dragging Democrats back in that direction. She is very sneaky and she cannot be trusted.

Charlie Hurt, thanks so much. Appreciate the hours and hours of intelligent conversation. Can I go get something to eat now? Can I get breakfast? You better.

You, my credit card, but they're maxed out. I bought you coffee this morning. Back in a moment, bottom of the hour, Kelsey Grammer on his brand new series. Don't move. Illuminating, intriguing, inculcating.

I know some of these words. It's Brian Kilmead. The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead. President has also chosen.

And I stress this, chosen. To tear up the values that once made America the shining light of the world. We have university students being swept up, shoved into unmarked vans, and fathers being tossed into Salvadorian gulags without a hint of due process. If you say you love freedom, But you don't believe freedom is for everybody? then the thing you love isn't freedom.

It's privilege. That is Governor Waltz. I don't know why this guy continues to be on camera and say idiotic things, but he is the standard-bearer for Democrats, mischaracterizing everything and going at Donald Trump's abundant strength, and that's the military ability to throw out criminals. They were let in, one, your guy, who you defended vociferously before you became the running mate of Kamala Harris.

So that's a little bit what the Democrats are trying to do. They're trying to find a leader. I'm not worried about a leader. What about a message? And I tell you, I didn't read the whole book, but I read the summaries and I heard them online.

The guy that really lays out what Democrats should be doing while keeping with their principles being different than Republicans, talking about how they've destroyed cities with their stupid woke policies, how they've grown homelessness and they've allowed crime to thrive by their idiotic approaches to these major issues. He writes a book about how to restructure and recalibrate with legitimate new approaches to real problems. That's not a new approach to a real problem.

So I'm just astounded that Waltz is still out there. But take a look at what some of the Democrats are saying.

Now, this guy, David Hogg, 25 years old, big-time fundraiser. They thought they'd get the young vote with him. He came out and basically said, I'm going to start primaring people that he doesn't like. On the Democratic side, here's Ken Martin on that. He is the DNC chair.

Cut 28. I have great respect for David Hogg. I understand what he's trying to do. As I've said to him, if you want to challenge incumbents, you're more than free to do that, but just not as an officer of the DNC, because our job is to be neutral arbiters. We can't be both the referee and also the player at the same time.

You have to make a decision. Yes. So Ken Martin. Who's been invisible since he got the job? David Hogg is doing this week with George Stephanopoulos, who never has George Stephanopoulos on.

Use David Hogg, Cut Twenty Seven. There certainly are some who are failing to meet the moment. And know it's time for them not to seek re-election, whether that's because they're too old, for example, or if that's because they just aren't able to meet it. Because, frankly, unfortunately, sucking is something that is not limited to age. And the way that we plan to do this is we obviously run independent expenditures as a PAC and super PAC.

And they will be pretty substantial. Good luck with that. Fight it out, guys. Close the door, fight it out. It's not going to help the country to have a party this confused, this idiotic.

This is what's going to happen. This is my prediction. This guy's not going to stop. He has got a ton of money, ton of money. and he's fueled by a lot of people with deep pockets, and he's going to end up having a left wing party.

And you remember the Tea Party with Republicans that alienated some traditional Conservatives? This will be that to the tenth power. Because I just don't see where, you know, Carville just called him a little twerp. And then they accuse him of just lining his pockets with money. Imagine what Republicans are going to say about him.

The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead. The New Hampshire militia's raid on Fort William and Mary leaves only one wounded red coat while securing 100 barrels of the king's powder, a large cache of muskets and ammunition, and 16 cannons. A perfectly executed plan. and a serious escalation.

The Boston Tea Party was a crime against private property. This is a crime against Great Britain. In other words, treason. Wow, uh this is a four-part series that you simply have to watch. Many people think, well, the 250th birthday of America starts next year.

When you think about the war, think about 1773, the Boston Tea Party, but so much happened in 1775. Kelsey Grimer knows all that. That's why he's the perfect host of the new series out on Fox Nation called Blood on the Bridge, the Battle of Lexington, and Concord. Kelsey, welcome back. I know your passion for history.

I think that anyone out there who says, you know, I never really, I don't remember how this whole, the details of the Revolutionary War, This will really give you a real sense. Of how compelling and how unlikely our victory in this war was, don't you think? Absolutely. It's funny, we don't really teach history anymore. I don't know why.

I think it has something to do with. Trying to stop people from actually identifying as Americans. Honestly, we have an extraordinary story that's been told over the last couple of centuries that is currently being neglected, I think, by our education system. Without that knowledge. it's going to be hard to have an understanding of the impact and the bravery and the courage and the extraordinary accomplishment it was to to become the United States of America.

And so I'm doing my small part to lend a little bit of information to our current situation here. And you just get a sense back. First, it's easy to say, well, the Revolutionary War started, and then we ended up losing almost every battle and coming out at the end and winning at Yorktown. But the way it started was a slow boil. The taxes, the lack of respect, the lack of understanding of what the colonists were going through, the arrogance of the British and felt as though they were superior.

And then to see these men stand up and start speaking out, then get together, come together with a battle plan, and have this guy like George Washington emerge to be the leader when he was really reluctant to get involved. I love the way you guys sense what Washington meant to the movement. It was really in the beginning, John Hancock. And Sam Adams. What was their key role?

Well, John Hancock, I think, was a pretty wealthy guy. And he had a he had a dream of freedom for the American colonies that was motivated by the fact that in America they discovered an energy or I guess I'm trying to put this in terms that I think are somewhat spiritual. There was an understanding that they had been given something extraordinary by being here in America. And this whole idea of American exceptionalism is. Yeah.

poo-pooed by some people, but um It had to do, I think, the sort of the land and the work and what was happening here for everybody. They realized that this was a place of great opportunity for the new world. And in the new world, they realized that there were going to be a different set of parameters, basically, individual freedom, and that the individual was the most important part of that freedom. Government of the people, by the people, for the people. These ideas started to resonate more and more.

Whether or not it was a relationship between what they achieved here, or what they discovered here, or what they discovered in the brotherhood of. desiring freedom, or maybe it was that The British impulse to to suppress any freedom here. was and also to discard the the the desire for freedom here was uh what what buried them in a strange way. It was actually it was just wrong. It was a crime against humanity to actually consider that these people who lived here had no right to govern themselves.

So, Kelsey, I did not know this. I didn't fully understand this. But if you want to know why the Second Amendment matters so much, think about Concord.

So as General Gage realizes the colonists are getting rowdy, they're not listening, they're starting to band together and push back on the taxes, they go, okay, well, one way one thing we could do to make sure that they don't rise up, they're neutralized is take their gunpowder.

So, stop them from firing, stop them from having weapons, therefore, well, make sure that they don't.

Well, evidently. They were able to gather some gunpowder, but they were able to gather more. And we were able to, when the war ended, let's make sure no one ever takes our guns. This way, no one will ever take our freedom. And then the unlikely result there was really something as well: Lexington and Concord, and then the siege at Boston.

What did you take away from this?

Well, the organic kind of the organic connection to this series of events. Under the Second Amendment is completely obvious when you understand the history of it. They won't The British went directly at our ability, which had been basically funded by Hancock, to defend ourselves and to have guns in everybody's hand, to have the minute men, the minute men who could respond within a minute. To any attack, to any threat. And that's what actually got them at this Lexington Concord, kind of the way it danced together into this resistance.

And then finally, what was. arguably a victory for the colonies. Was that at first it looked like they were going to be overwhelmed, and then All of a sudden, as the British were returning from this raid that they executed and killed several colonists, they faced, I think, 7,000 colonists. Colonists, who were rallied within a day. Or then less than a day.

To meet them face to face, and they I think that when the when the Brits turned the corner and came along across that britch and said, Oh oh dear. We're in serious trouble all of a sudden. It was an extraordinary thing. And that was a year before they had the sort of the unifying message of the Declaration of Independence. They were fighting a war already.

And that's what's fascinating. And also, you said something else about the sort of the ongoing abuse of the colonies, the sort of the bad stepchild thing. The English really had no interest in the colonies, except as a financial. Gambit and uh Ben Franklin, though, who was a a Loyalist at first, Went over to England and became the ambassador from the Continental Congress to England and. Realized at the end of it, at the end of his tenure there, that he.

He was a patriot. He was going to fight for liberty because the attitude of the British toward the American colonies was pretty dismissive. And uh And that superiority, that sense that we weren't worth being bothered with, was just, you know, it's. You know, it's what people in power tend to do. They tend to forget about people.

And I know everybody knows his voice as Kelsey. Yes. Yeah. Go ahead. Kelsey Grammar's here with us.

We're watching on Zoom, so with all of our stations, but you can also see us on the Fox News app. Just click on watch. His new series is Blood on the Bridge. It is awesome. Just got to warn you: when you start watching it, you're not going to want to stop.

The Battle of Lexington and Concord.

So many people who watch our channel, watch, listen to the show, are very patriotic. And because I put out seven history books, and I'm able to speak about them pretty freely. And I take questions for really smart people that just, you know, in life, you have to make decisions. I can't sit around and read history books. I have a family to raise.

You know, I'm an accountant. I mean, I'm into finance. But there's such a thirst to tell stories. I always laugh when people come up to me and say, I don't really love history. And I go, wait.

Do you like stories? Yes. Do you like true stories? Yes. Do you like stories about your country?

Oh, yeah. Oh, you like history. And this is what you were able to do. The mixing of the acting. Your appearances at the host?

And the voiceover. You have to make sure you're involved in quality. What sold you on this product that it would be to Kelsey Grammar's level? No, we've we've uh We've done several of these things now with Fox and Fox Nation and the producers that have worked with. We actually sort of.

Repurposed a little bit the legends and lies that Bill Ratti had done years before. And we sort of stepped into that and sort of redid them a little bit. And that was the first. My first foray into this historical kind of reflection series stuff. And then we started doing more of the battles for America that went pretty well.

And I've just always had this. Thirst for history myself, but you're right. The stories are compelling and fascinating. And of course, history is prologue to what we're living in right now. If you don't understand your history, you don't know where you came from, you don't know who you are, and you'll be able to be convinced that someone else will tell you what your rights are.

If you understand the history that reflects upon this country, at least, you understand what it is. To be personally involved in your own history. And that's important. And that's what we're trying to do with the shows. I love these shows.

They have great scholarship. They also have a storytelling element that is compelling and human. It makes. It makes history. Accessible to the individual at this time.

And then we find out, it really does. And then we find out what's true and what's not. And I just love the so-called unsung heroes. Anybody who watches your show knows about Dr. Joseph Warren, but probably nobody else, unless you're really passionate about history, understand it.

You might know Paul Revere, but do you know William Dawes? Tell me about Dr. Warren.

Well, Dr. Warren was It was a sort of a pivotal Freedom-loving, or at least idealist living in Boston at the time, and who was he perished at the Battle of Bunker Hill, which was really fought at Breeds Hill. But there's, it was a shame because he was, he had some inside intel and was kind of like the first. major American spy, honestly, because he he w uh Rubbed shoulders with the elitist Brits that were there at the time and some of the powers that be were that were there at the time. And also was apparently there are some rumors that he was friendly with somebody's wife.

General Gage. Yeah, it was. Who was privy to a lot of knowledge about what the English were doing.

So he was invaluable in those early years. And it's a shame that he died because he certainly would have been considered a pillar of our founding fathers. And the thing is, Kelsey, he decides to get into basically the infantry. When he could sit in the back and finance the war and provide intelligence, he says, no, give me a gun. I'm on the front lines.

And that's where he lost his life. And lastly, Paul Revere's ride lives up to the hype, right? William Dawes did it one direction, Paul Revere the next direction. Apparently, there were a lot of guys that did it. If I ever live, there were a lot of guys that, you know, like a little bit more like the old Wells Fargo, you know, or the Pony Express, but where they would hand off the mission to the next rider.

I think people got a little tired. A horse might get a little worn out. They need to stop for some feed. But they. They had this system put in place.

That was part of the the Minuteman concept that uh Would give warning, give warning to as many people as needed to get it, and for as far and wide as they needed to make the warning heard. And so there were several writers that went out, but the famous midnight writer, Paul Revere, Longfellow's poem, is. Is a great testament to that kind of bravery and that courage, and the excitement of fighting for one's freedom. I mean, It's a fascinating thing that they took this. this notion and said it's it's worthy of dying for.

It's worthy to die for this. It's something. And I think that still lives in us. I think that still exists in us. I've I've I've I've always regretted that I didn't actually serve in the military.

But of course, at that time, the war that was being fought was the Vietnam War. And so I was there were a lot of issues about that and a lot of questions about it. But I still would have served if I'd been called. It's just I just missed it. Nixon pulled us out in time for me to just miss it.

I registered for the draft. When I turned 18, I was, you know. Ready to go. Turned out I didn't have to. Right.

this extraordinary notion that an individual would give his life so that other people he didn't even know and other generations he was unaware of would foster a freedom that would last for generations and generations is an extraordinary idea. Um duh. What? Lives here. And Kelsey, think about this, and I know you do.

You leave your family when you are the sole earner, there's no Social Security, and you grab a gun and you're taking on the finest fighting force in the world, fresh off battle that was still being fought with France.

So you got experienced infantry against an inexperienced group of farmers. That's the definition. That's the American story. The people watching and listening to us right now, that's your story. And lastly, A couple of things.

He never said, here comes the British are coming, because most people he would be yelling that to are British because they, you know, loyalists. Number two, he did say, one if by land, two if by sea. Two if by sea. Yeah. I just gotta I ask you, here we are coming up on year 250.

President Trump says he's gonna make a big deal of it along the way. What could we do as a country? You got your series, it's out there. I think that when we talk about reforming education, I'm all for it, got it. But if history's gotta come back, the American story has gotta be taught, and it's gotta be taught everything.

Slavery, absolutely. Freedom, Civil War, Jim Crow, yes. But the story is a country that constantly gets better. And constantly tries to improve and emerges number one. That's a pretty good story.

Listen, you know, it's interesting. I think it was 1803 Thomas Jefferson, as President, tried to float the idea that s slavery would be abolished. And it was defeated. He was defeated in Congress, which is fascinating. He was defeated by one vote.

A vote from New Jersey didn't show up. And it's an extraordinary thing that he had the vision to write the Declaration of Independence for one thing, but then to also, as president, to insist that we actually tackle the issue of slavery. A lot of kids don't know this. A lot of people don't know this. They still think of it as a stain on our country.

Well, they were men of their time. Slavery was an active What do you call it? A phenomenon at the time that powered a lot of economy. And of course, a lot of people were resistant to losing it, but it wasn't right. It wasn't right if we saw the world as we do see it, that we're all created equal.

And uh He was ready to put his money where his mouth was. And that people should remember this. They should remember that these men actually were willing to change what they grew up with, to fight what they were told, what they were taught. And the world that they grew up in was no longer attractive to them. And they were willing to fight to change it.

And these are extraordinary people who have vision. Great vision. And that's where you're from. I mean, people should understand. You don't have to go 23 and me.

These are all, we're related to all these people. These are who our ancestors came to be a part of, the fresh start that maybe you made the choice to come, someone watching us right now, or someone, or your ancestors did. And lastly, I know we're going to talk on One Nation on Sunday night, but just for you personally, I'm not an actor, but I've hosted things before. When they say, Kelsey, we need you to host this Kelsey Grammar. Do you approach it any differently as opposed to they say go play Frazier on cheers?

Oh, sure. Listen, Fraser's one character I've played. You know, he's definitive in terms of, you know, it brought me success, it brought me some monetary comfort. But. He's also a great character.

I mean, he's a wonderful character, a gift to an actor. But. No, uh my My personal standing as an American loving actor, whatever, is. Is my privilege, and I'm very proud of being allowed to have to speak for the people of previous generations who. Many fought and died for this country.

Mike My granddad was a a member of the military and fought at Guadalcanal. He was an extraordinary example of the kind of men I respect and believe in. And so I'm doing my best to honor that, my personal connection to it, and also my understanding of. What an amazing gift it is. people have the courage to die for freedom.

Yep. Yeah, we hit the lottery. We were born in America. We just have to realize it. It's called Blood on the Bridge.

It's on Fox Nation right now: The Battle of Lexington and Concord. Kelsey Grammer, the host and producer. Kelsey, thanks so much. I'll talk to you Sunday. Good to see you.

Back in a moment. Learning something new every day on the Brian Killmead Show. He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Killmead. I've never signed a keg before.

I haven't seen a KEG since college. Yeah, that's right. There you're looking at it. I liked a keg. The only thing that kept me away from the kegs was the deposit.

How are we going to get the money back? And now we've got to defend it. You got to return the keg, and you never know. If we don't get it back, it's my money. Right.

So, like. We're gonna do a keg stand. Brian's gonna do a keg stand next hour.

Okay. I don't think that's good for my radio show.

Well, hold its legs up. The producers are always paying attention, but they particularly paid attention to that comment. That was a little the fun. We'll have it on Fox and Friends getting set for here. And the one thing Eric and Pete demand, and sometimes Allison, that I don't drink before the show.

That's the only thing they've asked.

So, if I do have a K, they'll try to get a substitute host, most likely Tyrus. Because his tolerance is better anyway if he was drinking. How great is Kelsey Grammar?

So I'm going to be talking about him on One Nation. On Sunday, 10 o'clock. Going to talk to Dana Perino, Jordan Peterson. It's going to be a huge lineup. Tammy Pescatelli.

And I hope you don't miss it. Also, we got a Warren Zeiter feature that you will simply love: a country music sensation. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian In Kill Mead. All right, everyone, thanks so much for being here.

Brian Kilmicho. We have a big hour coming your way. This is day two of the NFL draft. Brian Baldinger, an analyst extraordinaire from the NFL network. He has his own website, too.

He breaks down things like nobody else. And I want to get his take on day one of the draft. The big story: Shadur Sanders, Dean's son, did not go in the first round. He'll go in the second. Dr.

Jonathan Shanzer will be with us, Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. We got so much on the line with Iran, as well as Ukraine and Russia. While the president will have a myriad of meetings when he goes over to Rome, primarily for the Pope's funeral. But with me right now is the big star of the network, Trace Gallagher, anchor of Fox News at night, but filling in all over the channel this week in New York. Trace, welcome back.

Brian, great to be back with you. Thanks for having me on. How do you like being in New York, by the way? You know, I love, I was here for years. I spent five years here back in the early 2000s, like 2005 to 2010.

So I love being in New York because I still have friends here. I miss kind of coming in the city. You know, back in the day, we lived in Westport, Connecticut, and you'd come in the city every day and you'd go into Grand Central Station, and it was like Rome in the 21st century, right? You felt like you were in the biggest game on the planet. Everybody's got the Wall Street Journal in their hand because there was no iPads, right?

Back in 2005, I guess they had them, but there was no Wi-Fi in the trains.

So everybody reads the paper. Everybody doesn't say a word. And you get in, you come out of Grand Central, and it's like the ants marching to their respective areas.

So New York was for me always this very cool thing, you know, place to work and stuff.

So I still enjoy coming back. I mean, I come back three or four times a year, but I still enjoy coming back. What do you notice the difference? Do you notice some things have changed? Oh, yeah.

I mean, I have never stopped coming back.

So, you know, during COVID. And you realize after COVID, you have all the things that are shut down, your favorite little haunts shut down, and you know, there's so many problems with the city. You can't go anywhere in New York City now, and you probably know this without smelling pot. You can't go anywhere. It's everywhere.

You have that in LA? No, because LA is a little bit more spread out. I mean, New York is so condensed that when you get in the city, it's everywhere. I mean, it's you walk into Grand Central, it's like there's pot. Everywhere you go, it smells like marijuana.

And I think, you know, that's part of the consequences of when you make these decisions as cities and states.

So let's talk about these schools if we can.

So the anti-Israeli, anti-Semitic outrage that we're seeing on campuses is highlighting a bigger problem, and that is the anti-Americanism and certainly anti-conservatism that's taken root. But how are you going to attack it?

Well, we're just going to ignore it. We'll see what happens. We'll condemn it. 3% of most faculties in these Ivy League institutions are conservative.

Well, what are you going to do?

Well, now, sadly, I think the president's hand's been forced. The anti-Semitism is flourishing, it's raging, it is back first in Barnard, then we see it over in Columbia, back again, and then it goes in Yale two days ago, and then, of course, Harvard never went away. President pushing back on this hard. I think this issue is going to resonate with most of America as Harvard tries to take Trump to court. Yeah, and I think the truth of the matter is, is you wonder why Harvard is fighting the Trump administration a lot harder than it ever really fought anti-Semitism.

And that's the thing: you're like, what's the priorities here? What's the list? And why are you doing what you're doing? Because they really are. They're fighting back.

They're making it, you know, their cause celeb. They're going after the president. They're fighting it as much as they can. But the truth is, is that they haven't fought anti-Semitism nearly as hard, and nor have schools all over the country. I mean, UCLA made some gestures toward it.

You have Yale, you have Columbia, you have all these problems in all these schools all over the country. And you would have thought that. You know, we do these polls, and you would have thought that after October 7, in the run-up to the 2024 election, that there would have been this mandate, that the people, the Jewish population would have spoken. Not as much as I thought. It was kind of surprised because we have these Jewish panels on our show at night, and they have moved so far to the right, and yet the population as a whole, the Jewish population in the United States as a whole, doesn't seem to have moved in lockstep with them.

And I'm wondering why. Is it going to change? Are they going to get tired of this? Did they think it was a flash in the pan? Because it wasn't just, if you had said the things that were being said to Jewish people, to Muslim people, it would never have been accepted.

Or African Americans. Or African Americans or anybody else.

So this week we saw the riots at Yale. Why? Because there was an Israeli minister who was going to speak there, number two. But I'm looking at these kids. Don't say it's all foreign students.

It's really not. No, and they got masks on, cowards. And then I'm watching this Israeli, this Jewish American, try to get, he's a senior, try to walk through the lawn to study for a senior thesis. And he told his friend to tape him. And then he joined us on the show.

I mean, think about this, Trace. This is unbelievable. Yeah. I mean, it is, you think back, and if you are a history, a student of history, you think back to 1937, 32, 34, 37, and you see a lot of similarities and you see a lot of tolerance. All of a sudden, the tolerance went up and people accepted it.

And the Jewish population was like, well, it's just, you know, one, they're just trying to do this.

Well, they're just trying to do this.

Well, there's always this rationalization of it. And the truth is, is that these young people, when they're on campuses, they're doing it because their friends are doing it. They have no idea what they're talking about. They have no idea what it means from the river to the sea. They don't know what river.

They don't know what sea. They do not know what they're talking about, and yet they're talking. And that's the confusing part about it is that you have to at least have somebody at colleges go out there and educate. Educate these people who are protesting. You know, these aren't like DeFry University.

This is the most prestigious colleges in the world.

So, Yale green lighted these pro-Palestinian groups. Yale's for Palestine. And then he said, If you guys are, you guys, you guys are planning a demonstration. He goes, You better not. He goes, We're not.

He goes, If you do, we're going to revoke your charter. He says, We're not. He goes, On social media, it shows you are.

So they revoked their charter. They did it anyway. And guess who was involved in it? The faculty. Same with Columbia.

Columbia yesterday heard that there's supposed to be protests today.

Now they are so worried about losing the $400 million. They said, We've been made aware of possible plans to establish encampments at Columbia campuses. We want to make clearly communicate to you that camping out encampments of Columbia campuses are prohibited by university policy. They want to say they'll be taken down.

So they're trying to win over Trump. But that's the whole thing. Are they trying to win over Trump or are they just trying to save a few bucks? I mean, they let this thing go on. They tolerate it, they tolerate it.

And the truth is, they're just looking after the money.

So when you threaten their money, it's like anything else. Hey, how do you go after Putin? How are you going to get Putin to sign on to this?

Well, sanctions, severe sanctions on oil, severe sanctions on a lot of the things that Russia is selling now to stay alive. And so that's the thing. What do you do? How do you get Harvard to comply? You go after the money.

You go after the dollar. You said something before. You said this reminds you of the 1930s in some ways, but that was coming from the top. That was the government. This is not coming from the government.

It wasn't coming from Democrats and wasn't coming from Republicans. Certainly not coming from Trump.

So it's outside organizations that are fomenting a very unpopular premise. How would you like Sharia law? How would you like women being treated like fifth-class citizens? How would you like oppression being run by terror organizations? I think you make a great point, Brian, but you also have to remember when you talk about the 1930s in Germany, it didn't start at the top.

It came from this groundswell. That made it to the top.

So, what happened is that people accepted it, the tolerance. And so, you have these groups, these anti-Semitic groups all over the country that are now, in some cases, that are running for office, that are looking at ways to get into city councils, to get into school boards, to get into some of these places so they can bring this ideology with them.

So, you know, people say, oh, well, it was Hitler. No, it started as a groundswell, and Hitler was the epitome of it. But you look at what's happening now, and you see a lot of these groups that have been very well organized. organized and they've got money behind them because there's a lot of anti-Semitism in the billionaire world apparently. And look what happens.

Well, because anti-Semitism, that's the middle. And then I want to find out about what countries are funding pouring money into these universities from Texas Tech to Harvard. I want to find out what's the criteria for accepting a foreign student instead of that kid over in Tulsa, Oklahoma that said, I'm valedictorian. I can't get into any Ivy League school. I want to find out what your criteria is.

Because they pay full freight.

Well, what are their grades? Are they even worthy of it? You have to give remedial math to a Harvard freshman? Are you insane? But that's why you made the point earlier.

You said, well, this isn't DeVry University. This is Harvard. Yeah, but Harvard's not what Harvard was. And so Columbia is not what Columbia was. They had so many of these DEI programs and so many mandates placed upon them, they had to take kids that were not the elite kids, the kids that sometimes didn't deserve to be there.

They took them in. They became members of Harvard. And a lot of these kids created their own groups. And they fostered this. I mean, this has been going on for 25, 30 years.

And so now you have a different population than 60, 70 years ago when we had president. Residents that were all coming out of Harvard and Yale and Princeton and the rest.

So I don't, you know, let's see how the court cases come out. I know you'll have Fox News tonight, you'll have a ton of lawyers on there, but I just don't know if you can sue a government for not giving you a grant. I'm giving, you're not saying this is automatic. This is a grant to a private university. And if you're a 501c3, you can't have a political agenda and be nonprofit.

So to me, I think Trump's got a solid argument. What Sanders says as president of Harvard, Trace, is how, why deny us money for research because you're unhappy about anti-Semitism on campus? They don't understand. It goes to your college. What you decide to do, you decide to do.

Yeah, and by the way, a grant is a gift. That's what it is.

So a grant is a gift. And these are gifts from the federal government to fund different things that they're interested in. And it's been going on for so long that it's just this kind of rotation thing where you sign on and it just continues. It's perpetual. And Trump is saying, well, it's not perpetual.

It's based on you agreeing to the rules. These gifts were given to you because you, so many years ago, agreed to play by the rules. And now you're not playing by the rules and you suddenly want to change the rules and that's not fair.

So if you're going to take the money, you've got to play the game.

So I also think it's great today. I think the President of the United States asked his secretary. Secretary of Education to push back from my town of Massapequa and Wantaw and others who have American Indian names. Nicknames are chiefs and warriors and flaming arrows. They want to fight for it.

So Linda McMahon's going to have a press conference today to say, stop with the political correctness. This is a salute to Native Americans. Where do you stand? Yeah, well, we did this on our show a couple of nights. You did not.

Did very well for us. Did you mention Massapequa? We mentioned Massapequa, and I had to ask three times: how do you pronounce this Massapequa? It's Massapequa. The tribes have come out and said, listen, this is a sign of respect.

This is not derogatory at all. And the school board members and the people who live in this town say, remember, Brian, and you know this better than anybody, Massapequa is named after the tribe.

So if you're going to say you can't call your school the Chiefs, Massapequa, you've got to change the name of the town. You got to change everything. You can't call anything after them because that's derogatory. If you go by that theory, it's not just Chiefs. Do you see the Kansas City?

Chiefs thinking about changing their name? No, they keep winning, they keep getting more successful, they keep getting more notoriety, and they have no intention of changing their name in North this high school. And the tribes are now coming out saying, This is ridiculous. Braves. Blackhawks, you think they're changing their names?

Absolutely not. I don't even know why the Indians changed. I don't either. And by the way, if you do it with respect, so for example, it was brought up to me that the image that Massapequa has has more Western Indian than East Coast Indian. I said, okay, great.

Let's fix it. Let's do it.

Okay, fine. You I don't know. It's crazy. But if that really bothers you that much, then we'll you know the next generation, the next time we got to get new uniforms, next time we do the turf, Good, do it, but don't make me spend a million dollars to become the sparks. And don't be the state coming in and telling me you have to do it.

Be the tribes coming in saying, Listen, this would be more respectful if you did it this way. Do not tell me the state of New York has to come in and give me guidelines on what they think the mascot should look like. You know what? I also thought I have a great idea. I've had a lot of great ideas today.

I'm not being appreciated. I've always said that. Brian's got more great ideas than a lot of people. Trace, you have never said that, but I'm going to ride with it. I just think that if you know one thing they could do, establish relations with the local tribes that are still in the area.

Right.

And come in. Like once a year, you do the limit. They pick the fifth grade. Fifth grade, every year, there's going to be visits to all the grammar schools in the area. And then people say, yeah, I know why I'm from Masspequa.

That's the name of the tribe that was here. I saw them. They're still around. Good idea? Good idea.

It's a v look, I I've never been to the show a lot over the prior year. I don't think there there's been a bad idea. That's been tossed about. You were certainly my nicest guest. I mean, this is why I don't have Guttfeld on.

Right.

Right.

Because he does. It's a series of bad ideas, right? It's a litany of bad ideas. And he likes none of my ideas.

Well, I mean, yeah. I mean, Guttfeld doesn't like anybody's ideas because that's his whole game. Trace, anything to plug before I let you go? Fox News at night, tonight in Washington, D.C. We've been in New York for the past two or three years.

Are you going to the Warsaw Spartanists? Why are you going? Because I'm going. I'm not going. I've never been.

And I was invited. I wasn't invited. It's a lie. I had to beg. I said, hey, listen, I've never been.

Can I go? Everybody wants to go.

Well, yeah, I've never been. I've been at the network for 29 years. Can I go to the network? Absolutely. For me, yes.

And I get, oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, fine. Good. No date though, right? Just go.

My wife is coming. Get out of here.

Now you're not only in, you got a date. Like a date, and she's flying into DC tomorrow, and then she flies out the next morning. And I mean, it's going to be a whole jet set thing, but it's going to be very exciting. And there's going to be some. Is Trump going to show up?

I mean, he's got the whole Pope funeral and stuff. Any chance you think that he comes back and he's like, let me just pop in for five minutes. If there was a repeat of All in the Family on, he wouldn't go. I'm telling you, he's not going. Those are the people he has a problem with, but he talks to the press.

Yeah, well, he's talking to the Atlantic. Yeah, so he's going with the Atlantic. The Atlantic came out and said, You know, this immigration thing's working out pretty well for the president, shutting down the border. And President Trump's like, bring him in, let's talk to the Atlantic. Maybe they're back on my team.

And you're like, they're getting into doing an interview. You know, they say something like the most consequential president or something. That's all he needs. Yeah, that's it. Let's come to the office, bring him in.

Bill Maher, bring Bill. Sure. Bill, it's fine. Bring Bill. I'm going to convince them all that we're going to be great.

Right.

But it didn't work for Bob Woodward, but it works for other people. Right.

Trace, thanks so much. Thank you, Brian. I have a lot of good ideas. You heard him. Oh.

Politics, current events, and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say. Stay with Brian Kilmead. Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kill Me Show.

In the case of Ukraine, I think what's fascinating is. This is just my view, but I believe that Putin has totally misunderstood Donald Trump being patient. And I thought today, when Trump snapped at Putin for having bombed Kiev yesterday, you saw the really beginning of a turn. For a long time, the administration, the Trump administration, focused on getting Ukraine in line.

Now they're starting to discover that actually, it doesn't matter what Ukraine says, Putin wants to continue the war. He does. And for some reason, he does, even though there's a huge benefit to him not. And the big carrot for him, and it would aggravate some people on the right and left, is Trump was going to put him on the SWIFT system again. He was going to start normalizing some relations with him, economic relations with him.

He was. He's not going to say, what about human rights and your elections? That's not his speed, like it or not. And I have no problem with that because knowing Trump's Trump. But it looks like Vladimir Putin wants to make Trump look bad.

Trump has taken political risks by going out of his way to say, I just want to be an arbiter to bring peace, knowing that most people know that the enemy and the villain is clearly Vladimir Putin. I think the president knows it, but it doesn't do any good for him to keep bringing it up. For example, listen to his foreign minister after they bombed in the middle of Kyiv and killed 11 innocent people, cut 17.

Well, the President of the United States Believes, and I think rightly so, that we are moving in the right direction. The statement by the President mentions a deal, and we are ready to reach a deal, but there are still some specific Points, elements of this deal which need to be fine-tuned, and we are. busy with this exact process. You have two opportunities for a mini ceasefire. For example, don't target energy sectors.

There's no proof that you stopped. They said leave open the Black Sea. They haven't stopped, and they said no, we're not going to do that.

So You look at the deal right now, it's really tilted towards Russia, I think, too much. But if we could find some way to secure What's left of Ukraine, they've lost 19% to Russia, and we get security guarantees. Ukraine is going to be a thriving democracy. And I think that Russia will begin to wither, and who knows? Maybe it'd be vulnerable.

When we come back, Brian Boldinger analyzes day one of the draft and previews day two. It was in the Brian Killmee Show. Afterwards, Dr. Jonathan Shanzerby with his Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. Don't move.

From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Killmead. We all didn't expect this, of course, but. I feel like with God, anything possible, everything possible. I don't feel like this happened. You know, for no reason.

All this is is of course fuel to the fire. And under no circumstance, we all know this didn't happen.

So there you go. That was Shador Sanders, son of Deion Sanders, quarterback of Colorado. Thought he'd be a top five pick.

Some people think the Giants were going to take him, but it looked like they were for maybe a short time, but they didn't. He dropped all the way through the first round. He'll probably go early in the second. But let's go to the real expert and tell us: was he surprised? I'm talking about Brian Baldinger.

You can follow him on Twitter, or excuse me, at X on at Baldy NFL. He's an NFL network analyst, former guard in the NFL for 13 seasons, Cowboys, Colts, and Eagles. And most importantly, he's from Massapequa and is a lot cooler than I am. Brian Boldinger, welcome. Brian, it's about time you got into your wheelhouse and started talking about sports, football, the draft.

I mean, all that stuff that you do on the Fox News Network, Brian. I mean, it's just. It's second to what you really, really love and what you really know.

So it's good to join you. Was I surprised? I wasn't surprised. I like Shadur. I was at his pro day in Boulder three weeks ago, and I didn't think he had a great day.

But I thought he's going to get drafted, and he will. And the important thing, honestly, Brian, is that he goes to a good team and a good organization. Really? And that remains to be seen right now who takes him. But they've got to have a plan in place.

You know, I'd like to see him sit for a while. I don't think he needs to start right away. You know, I mean, the Raiders would make a lot of sense sometime today, but The important thing is he goes to a good place, in a in the right place. How about Cleveland? Cleveland could be good.

I mean, you know, Kevin Safanski is the head coach. They run a West Coast offense. That's kind of what Shador came from. The best place, honestly, is the Raiders, because Chip Kelly's the offense coordinator. He actually ran Chip Kelly's offense at Colorado this year.

So he's very fi he'll be very familiar with the language and the terminology and some of the concepts. I think that would be the best place for him. Your ball, these breakdowns is legendary. All I have to do is bring that up to anyone who doesn't even know I know you. I mean, that's how detailed and how much hard work you put into it.

The thing that stands out to me, and I know this is a little New York-centric, the Giants moves. Talk about that.

Well, I mean, look, they they could not turn down the best pass rusher. And the best playmaker in this draft than Abdul Carter. He's a Philadelphia kid, grew up loving the Eagles, was at the Eagles. Celebration in New Orleans this year. But he's a dynamic player.

And One thing the Giants know, they know what a pass rusher looks like, whether it's LT or pick any great pass rusher they've had, and they know what that looks like.

So you couldn't pass that up, but you know, to trade back in the second round with the Rams and to go get Jackson Dart, a guy that they coveted, great. I don't know. What a third quarterback is going to do in this roster. Russell Wilson is starting, he's been named the starter. Jameis Winston is there.

He's sort of an unnecessary body at this point, even though they signed him a month ago.

So it remains to be seen what his role is going to be this year. But I imagine they want him to sit for as long as possible. But if Russell Wilson isn't playing well and Jameis Winston isn't the answer, I mean, you know what Giant fans are going to do, Brian. They're going to be shouting to the heavens to put Dart in there and see what he is.

So how long can he actually hold him out? Before they insert him in the lineup to see what his talent looks like.

So, I mean, it's kind of a bold move for the Giants, right? I mean, they don't usually do things like this. They don't, but I think they really came from the ownership. It came from the Maris. John Marrow is basically saying, Look, we need a franchise quarterback.

We've got to find a guy. And they really haven't replaced Eli's last real year, it was 2018. I mean, this is six years now without really finding a guy that they can build around the way the Eagles have, the way the Commanders have, the way the Cowboys have. You're competing in a division where everybody has found their franchise player at that position, and the Giants have yet to do it.

So they had to be a little bit bold in order to do it. And this was the year to do it. The Rams typically don't like to spend their first-round picks. They usually trade him away. They found a trade partner.

The deal was fair.

Now does the player's talent and ability match the twenty-fifth pick in this draft? Interesting because Jackson Dart's a guy that I guess Eli Manning really likes, obviously. And they spent one year in this never used to happen like this, Brian, but one year at USC, they get in Caleb Williams. He's like, I better find another school to go to. And he moves.

You have a guy, the number one pick overall in Cam Ward, who spent one year as a starter, right? And he is 20, what, four years old?

So I guess Burroughs had the same thing. He had one year as a starter, phenomenal pro.

Well, this is really the state of college football, Brian. I mean, going back to Joe Burrow, you know, at Ohio State originally transfers to UC. LSU and two years later, he wins the national championship. They don't lose the game, and he's He's a star. I mean, he's a bona fide star in his business.

But, you know, Jackson Dart sees Caleb Williams coming in. I've known Caleb since, you know, Gonzaga high school days in Washington, D.C. I mean, that guy looked like he could have started in the NFL when he was in high school, to me. Like, he's just an advanced student, and he's going to be a really good player in Chicago.

So these guys move around, but, you know, Eli's familiarity with what happens at Ole Miss is real. And so he was on top of it. Lane Kiffin's a good coach. He started three years for him. Heck, he beat the Georgia Bulldogs this year on a Saturday night.

night. Probably a signature win. There's a lot of good things to like about Jackson. He can run with it. He's got a good arm.

I didn't think he had a lot of star players around him this year, and they won a lot of games.

So and he was a big reason why they won a lot of games.

So what else is your takeaway? Number one, Green Bay is the venue. What was it, 120,000 people there? This has become such a spectacle. Remember it used to be in New York at a smaller the Felt Forum, I think.

Look, Brian, we're right in the middle of the NBA basketball playoffs and NHL playoffs, and the NFL is front and center, this whole thing. I mean, they're going to beat the ratings out of. Both those sports. But you you can't compete. The fan base, they've been moving this thing around.

It was the right thing to do. I don't know how many years they've been doing this now, Brian, but you know, Philadelphia, Nashville, Chicago, I mean, it it it Dallas, like it's a winning event right now. And people could look at the draft, especially if you're a Giant fan or a Jet fan, and you know, you've been out of it like. Two months into the season, you start talking about the draft in November right now. And here it is.

And so I told this to Jimmy Haslam, the owner of the Cleveland Browns, a couple weeks ago. I said, you can turn your fortune around with one great draft. Maybe Cleveland does. Washington did it last year, Brian. Like it is, you can become relevant in one year, even despite.

whatever bad seasons you had leading up to it. And so this is what the draft does. Um good. The Jacksville Jaguars made a bold move. I thought they would do it.

They pulled the trigger, pick number five. They traded up three spots to Cleveland, and they took the best player in the draft. And Travis Hunter. I congratulate them. But it was a lot of fun last night.

It went very, very quickly. But this was a defensive line draft, Brian. You wanted a defensive lineman. 10 of them went the first 32 picks. But you could see it at the senior bowl.

You could see it at the combine this year. This was going to be a defensive line-driven draft. And that's what we saw last night. First off, how Clay Matthews started it, a Packer legend, came out with a fake quote. Listen to this: cut 56.

I just got off the phone with the president, Donald Trump. He asked me to pass a message along. to all 32 NFL franchises.

So let me tell you what it reads here, alright? It says, my fellow Americans, the bears still song! I mean, he's speaking to every Packer fan out there. You know, I mean, the Bears are, you know, Aaron Rodgers said a couple years ago, they own the Bears, and they have. over the last 15 years.

I want you to hear Cam Ward after he's picked first, Cup 57. With the first pick in the 2025 NFL draft. The Tennessee Titans select Cameron Ward, quarterback, Miami. Cam, you got a nod of number ones in your life. You started with one offer from Incarnate Word.

You are now the number one overall pick. How does this moment feel to you? It's special. You know, Gard did everything for me, him, myself, and my family. And I'm just blessed to be here.

I'm ready to get to work. The titles with my teammates, and I'm just ready to get the process going. All right, there you go. And Travis Hunter, a two-way player. This has been explained to me, but Brian Baldinger, you break it down every day.

They say Hunter is not the best wide receiver. Travis Hunter is not the best wide receiver. He's not the best cornerback. But the fact is he plays both positions makes him valuable because you can save a roster spot. Tell me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, you're wrong, Brian. He's the best wide receiver in the draft, and he's the best defensive back in the draft. Really? His skill set, yes. His skill set is, um, and he was coached by Deion Sanders now.

You know, maybe the best corner to ever play. Like his ability to bait quarterbacks to throw the ball and then take it away. His ability to adjust to a ball in the air. I mean, he's Garrett Wilson, you know, going after a football in the air. And then after the catch, he's lethal.

Like, he's an elite town. He, he. He has a chance of winning both the offensive and defensive rookies of the year. And like Michael Jordan, maybe his greatest skill, Brian, this, I mean, I know you can relate to this because you're like this every day of your life, but he's indefatigable. He doesn't tire.

You could do one show after another, Brian, not sleep, get in that limo, and go do eight, 10 hours of TV. Like, this is what this guy could do. He does, I saw him play 140 snaps. in Fort Worth in one hundred and three degree temperature in his first game at Colorado. Like the guy doesn't tire.

And he can he can play one hundred snaps a game, and he will. Jackson will find packages on both sides of the ball, and he's going to He's going to be literally the love of every ten-year-old kid's world that loves football right now. They're all going to buy his jersey. He's going to be the biggest name in the league this year. And he has a chance to be one of the really special players to come into this business.

And the Jags need it. They need an identity, and I think that'll do it. Lastly, should the Mass Speaker Chiefs be forced to change their name? No. No, they're the Chiefs.

And we've always been the Chiefs, and I understand what's out there, but I hope that they don't have to change their name. They give actually a great deal of created to the Massapequas Indians. That they were named after, and I think we wear that moniker proud. Absolutely, and you do it every day. Brian Bouldinger, Massapiqua's finest.

Thanks so much, Brian. Keep breaking it down, and good luck on day two. It's going to be fun. It sure is, Brian. Good talk to you, buddy.

Talk to you soon. Brian Bald here. Back in a moment. We're going to talk some more serious stuff. Dr.

Jonathan Shanzer, Foundation of the Defense of Democracies, on where we're going with the Iran talks as well as the ceasefire talks in London. You're with Brian Kilmead. A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. There's been a very bright line about what's acceptable and what's not acceptable.

Not acceptable is having a nuclear weapon. That is the one bright line that has been feeding all of the activity. IAEA's Plan is to send a team to Iran this week. The next round of talks will take place in Oman on Saturday, and will be the first meeting of technical teams. That was Tammy Bruce, State Department spokesperson, talking about Our good friend, by the way, talking about Iranian talks week three.

Do you expect anything to come out of this? I'll pretend not to know what Dr. Jonathan Shanzer feels about it, but I do know how he feels. He's for the Foundation for Defense of Democracy, Senior VP. Jonathan, what do you expect to happen?

Well, we're heading into technical talks here, which is, you know, I think probably a bit premature. What it means is that we're now starting to talk about what levels of enrichment would be okay from the perspective of the United States. And I think that's probably not something that we should be welcoming right now. We should be preventing the Iranian regime from enriching uranium at any level. We should be making sure that anything that they do that could contribute to to the ultimate production of a nuclear weapon should be completely off limits.

So, right now, when we start to head down these talks, it feels like we're doing this before we've even established whether there's Iranian goodwill. And I think at the end of the day, we can probably be pretty sure that there is no goodwill here. This is the world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism that still wants to retain some modicum of involvement in the nuclear enrichment process. And that is, of course, very dangerous long term, probably short term, too. But aren't they particularly vulnerable now?

Isn't this Iran that has never been this vulnerable? Yeah. I mean, that's the thing. I mean, you maybe you could say that at the end of the nineteen eighty to nineteen eighty eight Iran-Iraq war, they were this weak after getting beat up by the Iraqis. But really, when you look at what's happened here, they've lost a lot of power from their proxies, right?

They were trying to attack Israel from seven different fronts over the last year and a half. Hezbollah Hamas, now the Hoopies, thanks to Donald Trump's Strikes on the Houthis in Yemen, all of these groups are much weaker. And then you got what the Israelis did to them back in October, which is they knocked out all the air defenses of the regime.

So they're very vulnerable right now. We have a massive amount of Firepower that we've deployed to the region, two carrier strike groups off the coast of Iran and Yemen. We've got V-2 bombers on the island of Diego Garcia. There is a fair amount of missile defense that we've put throughout the region to protect our allies. In other words, when Iran looks out across the region, it is seeing the shadow of American military might.

This would be the moment, I think, for the Trump administration to say, guys, We're actually really not negotiating with you. We are telling you these are our demands, and if you don't meet them, you're going to be in a lot of trouble. And maybe we don't even need to spell out what that trouble looks like. They're still trying to assassinate the president, journalists. I mean, you've got to be kidding me.

Here's General Jack Keene this morning with me, Cut 43. Certainly, the administration wants a nuclear program that cannot even come close to weaponization. But even if you take away all the enrichment and leave the centrifuges and the ballistic missiles, they can get enriched uranium from many countries. We get it from four or five different countries to include Russia. China, Russia, and North Korea all have enriched uranium.

Why? Because they all have nuclear weapons, and they're their closest allies.

So clandestinely, they can still get enriched uranium. And they keep the centrifuges to spin that and get it to a weaponization grade, and they keep the ballistic missiles so they can deliver it. That's what we have to be very careful of. I mean, come on. I mean, wh wh why are we even pretending is that we need a scientist in there?

We should let the Israelis do their thing and then just watch their back. Let them deliver the mu deliver them the ammunitions to make it happen. Look, I tend to agree with you. I think there's one area, and you've probably heard this from multiple guests on the different programs that you host, there's one thing that the Israelis don't have, and that is the bombers, the B two bombers, to carry the significantly heavy munitions that would be necessary to take out the Iranian nuclear sites that are embedded deep in those mountains. There's two of those right now that I think the Israelis are the most concerned with.

And I think there was a conversation, at least one conversation, between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, where I think Netanyahu probably said, hey, we can't do the tough work on two of these sites. Can you help us on this? And we'll clean up from there. And I think that that may be one of the reasons why you saw Donald Trump pause and say, you know what? Let me see if we can make, you know, give peace a chance first before we start to think about a direct strike carried out by the United States.

Well, I hear you.

So let's talk about Ukraine if we can. Where we're at in these talks is Vladimir Putin two days ago had vicious attacks over in Kyiv. We got it on video. You can't tell me that he is serious. I think he's totally misjudged President Trump.

Cut 16. President Trump, sir, today you told Vladimir Putin to stop with the attack. Do you think he'll listen to you? Really? He hasn't yet.

Your thoughts? Yeah, I mean, look, Vladimir Putin's not going to change his tactics. This is a guy that I think was hoping that Donald Trump would maybe see things more the way that he did. I think that Donald Trump understands that this is not a war that America wants to keep funding and backing in perpetuity. And I think that's important.

I think that he's made that clear to Vladimir Zelensky. But I think Putin has now overplayed his hand here. And I think that it'll be really interesting to see how the president responds after watching this kind of brutal attack by Putin, his unrelenting aggression there. What does it mean when Marco Rubio says that we'll walk away? That's, I think, the question that we're all asking ourselves right now.

What does this all lead to? Better not walk away. It's our responsibility to fix it. That's what we do as a superpower. Jonathan Schoanzer, Foundation for the Defense of Democracy.
