President Trump announces a trade deal with the UK, marking a significant step in strengthening the relationship between the two countries. The deal aims to increase market access for American exports and reduce tariffs on British goods. Meanwhile, tensions rise in the Middle East as Iran's nuclear program remains a major concern. President Trump's administration is working to address the issue, with some experts suggesting a more aggressive approach. In the US, anti-Semitism on college campuses continues to be a problem, with incidents reported at Columbia University. President Trump's administration is taking steps to address the issue, including cracking down on universities that fail to address the problem.

From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmead. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kill Meet Show. Tim Murtosh coming up at the bottom of the hour.

It's going to be a big, big morning. 10 o'clock, Senator Kram, Senator 10:30. Senator Cotton and Senator Graham are going to have a presser marking the seventh anniversary of Donald Trump making that great move and pulling out of the JCPOA. Also, at 10 o'clock, Donald Trump's going to make an announcement on his first trade deal, which is going to be huge. Secretary Duffy is holding a presser to announce an all-new traffic control system.

We need it. He's smart about this because he knows everyone's paying attention to transportation right now. He needs the money. And right now, they only gave out of the infrastructure deal, they only put $5 billion towards airports and air traffic. Come on.

I mean, how could you sit there and put all this money into this green technology and not think to yourself, we've got to modernize an air traffic control system that was last updated in the 1980s, and 92% of the budget is to keep floppy disks and copper wires. Properly maintenanced.

So he's using this opportunity. I talked to him yesterday, too. And we'll have him on as well. But it's going to be a busy day for him and for us.

So, meanwhile, the president of the United States is getting set for his first Middle East trip. Let's get to the big three. Number three. We think that there is a deal here that would reintegrate Iran into the global economy, that would be really good for the Iranian people, but would result in the complete cessation of any chance that they can get a nuclear weapon. One deal done, more to come as the first trade deal is announced by.

Hmm, that probably isn't the best sound bite for this. But turning to you today with a meeting with China 48 hours away, we have the latest on the high stakes talks and the look the progress to look to the progress of the much needed Big Beautiful bill. That's more economics. Number two. They had drums and megaphones and whatnot.

They were standing on tables. It's the same repetition as last year and most protesters and administration has apparently learned nothing. Anti-Semitic madness at Columbia's campus again as radical storms and overwhelmed security in the library and 80 zip tied out by the NYPD after five hours. The cops showed up as other IV presidents, go to non-IV presidents, go to Capitol Hill and embarrass themselves while getting exposed with their anti-Semitic behavior on their campuses. Number one.

We did hear from the president confirming that it was indeed Britain to be first in line.

Now, this agreement is the first since the president imposed then later paused stiff tariffs put in place on countries in the beginning of April. The UK is in a bit of a unique position because it did not fall under the reciprocal tariffs. There you go. That is what we were talking about. One deal is done.

It's the UK. I cannot wait for Saturday. With China, there's going to be a meeting. The other one we're talking about is J.D. Vance maps out a path for Iran to avoid a war.

I am not convinced that we are on the right target here. If I just thought this upstart country has a nuclear program, we got to get rid of it, I'd be all ears. But we all went to Iran University Terror School. The people of Iran hate their government. It's a corrupt government.

It destroys women's rights, arrests people that speak up, highly educated society who's been abused by a group of thugs. And now we are going to, the president says, I'm thinking about allowing some to. Degree of enrichment? No, zero enrichment. That's it.

They have they should not be dictating anything. They need to be this country needs to be taken down. They're holding up all peace in the Middle East. I know nothing is simple in the Middle East, but one thing is clear: Iran is the problem on the economy. The President made it clear on Truth Social today that the UK is the first deal.

What are they going to be talking about on that deal? They're going to be talking about. Restrictions on automobiles, lifting them. They're also going to be talking about agriculture trade deal there, as well as technology.

So, U.S. cars and farm goods. They're going to look to remove British taxes on U.S. tech. It also may not be, it does not clear right now how many more details that are going to emerge today in the presser, but this has been worked on for two and a half years.

Remember, when the UK split off and Brexit became official, one of the things that Trump said, you do that, we'll be first in line to do a trade deal. One thing led to another. We did South Korea, the USMCA, and some others, but that was not done. And then the president lost.

Now it could get done.

Now, for the other talks, ice breaker talks, I think one way in on Saturday in Switzerland is fentanyl. Why do I think fentanyl is the right way to start? Because it's not manufacturing, it's not cars, it's not tech, it's not AI. It's hey, How do you feel about illegal drugs? In China, death penalty.

So it's okay to export the precursors because it goes to Mexico, to the cartels, and comes across the border where we have customers here addicted to this deadly chemical. The precursors are there. Tom Cotton told me today they know exactly China knows exactly where it goes offshore and how it gets here. They could stop it in two seconds.

So when the President took office, he put twenty percent tariffs on everything Chinese because he said of the precursors to fentanyl that are coming across. If you want to get rid of twenty percent for a reason, You could say Beijing is convinced me they're going to clamp down if, of course, they come to the table and want to clamp down, because they indicated last week that they want to attack the problems with fentanyl. We'll see. They want to make sure they look tough. They want to make sure that they don't look like they're acquiescing.

But their country is really stressing. Manufacturing, people not getting paid. Wages are not being raised. The retirement is what comes out to $160. They're not having kids.

A whole generation is not working.

Meanwhile, Trump said yesterday: I'm not going, people are panicking about this. I'm not going to lower the tariffs. Cut one. Yet. China says in order to have substantive negotiations, you have to bring down your 145 percent tariffs.

Are you open to pulling back your tariffs in order to get China to the negotiating table? No.

Okay. Here's the thing. Why would you negotiate with an ABC reporter? Peop the market was affected by that. But come on, are you kidding me?

So he's not going to go ahead and give away his hand and say, yeah, I'm going to look to collapse the 145%.

Now they're charging us 125%. This is like a boycott of each other.

So here's what I said. When the president's indicating today he really cares about the fentanyl, this is not just one of those things. It means a lot to him. Cut to. Mr.

President, what are you hoping your representatives will get out of the talks in Switzerland on China? And secondly, what does China need to do on fentanyl specifically? What do you want to see that?

Well, they have to stop fentanyl from coming in. That'll be a very big part. And I had that understanding with President Xi before I left last time. And we had a a deal, and he would have honored the deal. But when Biden came in, of course, nothing ever happened with him.

Right. To me, it's perfect. And the thing is, you get away out of the trade talk, even though he's got a trade representative there, you get out of the trade talk and you get to life and death. And we're doing a great job on the border, picking up a lot of it, so stop making it. How about that?

It's all part of their many opium wars. I know that theory, you feel like the British flooded China with opium, and they became a bunch of addicts, and they were more compliant.

So they wanted to go ahead and do it to us with fentanyl. We get it. We're not buying it and we're starting to crack down on it. But I'm optimistic. You got to start talking to get started.

You already got one deal done. If India and Pakistan were in the middle of a low-impact war, I think we would have announced an Indian deal. Here's the Secretary of Treasury with the pressure on his shoulders come Saturday, cut three. Tell us. Tell the American people, tell small businesses and consumers.

Tell retirees. Specifically, which countries are you close to striking deal with? Uh I um Sorry, Congresswoman, but that would not benefit the United States. Right. He says he's very close to about seventeen.

Cut four. Do you consider These negotiations, advanced negotiations?

Some of them are quite advanced.

So you expect this deal to be more than memorandums of understanding? You expect them to be full negotiated trade deals? the uh belief that they will be the uh Agreements in principle, and then we will paper them over in the coming months. But once we reach an agreement, that I am sure that the other com countries will live up to. There you go.

I like those questions, very direct. People want direct answers, but you know, he's not doing the trade specifically. He signs off on the numbers.

So that's not really him, but he also frames it out before they go in.

So we'll talk about trade and where it goes. People don't like what Trump did, but them deciding to back off after Liberation Day, give 10% to everyone and negotiate with everyone, I think is a pretty good idea at this point. The market seems to be getting used to it, but I know that the big challenge will be we're going to begin to see things not delivered, ports not clearly as busy, shelves not as packed. That's when a little bit more pressure comes on us. But if President Trump communicates there's a reason for it.

and we're actually priming the pump for a massive reconfiguration of trade relationships with enemies and allies, I think it's going to be important. While he goes over to the Middle East and pending, he's got this huge announcement. It says bigger than everything, been a problem for years. What could it be? It's not the Iranian deal because he's talking about that separately.

Before we move on, just a little about the budget bill. We're not moving because, as we talked about, Medicaid. We talked about Medicaid and we talked about The SALTAX. Other states, they want to be able to write off their local tax.

So on Medicaid. Couple of things. We said cutting back on Medicaid and eligibility, it turns out it's a political problem. Even though it's the responsible thing to do, It's a political problem. It's probably going to have to be done separately.

If you cut Medicaid, which you define it by people who are distressed, economic hardships, or going through extreme medical challenges, it expanded to the point where the eligibility is through the roof. It's unsustainable. And the government writes 90% of the bills, so the state's under no pressure to worry about eligibility. But now, the only thing it seems they can agree on is maybe testing eligibility twice a year to cut down on fraud. But that's about it.

And having a work requirement with Medicaid. Able-bodied people who are able to get jobs should not be getting Medicaid. You should get your own insurance and find a way to do it. There's things that could happen in states, but Medicaid is not there to sustain people who are underemployed. If you're able-bodied, it kind of Cuts the knees out of the program.

Nick LaLata, Jeff Van Drew are two people who said, I won't vote for anything that has Medicaid cuts. When it comes to salt, Nick LaLata, Mike Lawler, and two people who says, if I don't get some salt tax, salt in this, Decently, I'm not paying for this. If Medicator is cut, Senator Susan Collins of Maine up for reelection, and Lisa Murkowski and Josh Holly say they're not going to vote for it. Of the other people like Chip Royce say, how the hell can you cut $1.5 trillion or $8 trillion and still fund this Obamacare eligibility? Uh Laden Fattened.

Medicaid. This is what the speaker's got to handle. This is what Jon Thune. It's got to do.

So we'll talk about that. I'm going to take a short time out and come back and talk about what What Vice President Vance said yesterday that has me a little bit worried. But yet, when he talked about Russia, it has me heartened. You listen to the Brian Kill Me show.

So much going on. We're 40 minutes away from our presser, and we don't know what else Donald Trump will say. When he does that, because the market's loving it, up 200 points already. We're up over 41,000. Don't move.

Diving deep into today's top stories. It's Brian Kilmead. Listen to the all-new Brett Baer podcast, featuring common ground, in-depth talks with lawmakers from opposite sides of the aisle, along with all your Brett Baer favorites like his all-star panel and much more. Available now at FoxnewsPodcasts.com or wherever you get your podcasts. From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmead.

We think that there is a deal here that would reintegrate Iran into the global economy, that would be really good for the Iranian people, but would result in the complete cessation of any chance that they can get a nuclear weapon. And that's what we're negotiating towards. And as the President has said, that's option A. And option B, if option A is very good for the Iranian people and even some of the folks, the leadership in Iran, option B is very bad. It's very bad for everybody, and it's not what we want, but it's better than option C, which is Iran getting a nuclear weapon.

And there's this sense among the Trump people, and not Donald Trump specifically, they don't want any Middle Eastern wars in Iran's been vilified for no reason and that Russia is really not that bad. They had no choice. NATO surrounded them. I don't subscribe to that. Maybe you do, and that's fine.

J.D. Vance leads that charge. I mean, he's always said that. But the more they get in the nitty-gritty with Russia, the more they get the nitty-gritty with Iran, they will totally see that I am right. That you cannot deal with this terroristic nation.

They have different objectives. And you would think the economic incentives to get Russia economy back on track might be enough for them to wind it down. 'Cause they can tell their population anything because they control all the media. And enough people littered in the streets, evidently these people coming back from war, deranged, looking to shoot people, and violence in Russian societies through the roof. They, you would think, need that war to stop.

But I think that those people on that side of the administration will find out that Michael Waltz and Marco Rubio, what they were like as lawmakers, legislators, and Tom Cotton is now, and Lindsey Graham is, they're 100% right. And you should just, any attack, if you have to take out Iran's nuclear program, you are helping the Iranian people. They hate their government. They love their country. They hate their government.

They've always liked the fact that America realized how bad their country is and would always stand up against it. Just when you think that they'd be nationalistic and hate us, they don't feel that way. Donald Trump. Talked about this with you, Hewitt, yesterday on his radio show, Cut 27. And I'd much rather make a deal, you know, a really verified deal.

We want total verification. We can do that. We have some very brilliant people up at MIT and various other places. We can do that very, very solidly. But I would much prefer a strong verified deal where we actually blow them up.

But, uh, blow 'em up or or just denuke 'em? But the other alter there are only two alternatives, they're blow 'em up nicely or blow 'em up viciously. Right. What scared me a little bit later, he said, I don't know about enrichment. The answer has got to be zero enrichment.

You're not allowed to enrich in the country. If you're caught enriching, there's going to be a problem. Here's the thing. I'll give you a year. Let's say they say we're not going to enrich past one percent.

Yeah, and you got to get maybe 70% for a bomb. All right, Israel goes into Gaza again to suppress. Hamas, they think it's too they think it's too strong. Or blow up Iranian assets or whatever. They think it's too strong, and they decide to keep weapons inspectors out.

No longer to allow the cameras in there. And we'll say, wait a second. What about the deal?

Well, what about the deal? You represent Israel. You're friends with Israel. Israel did, and that's what's going to happen. We did the same drill with Iraq.

Don't finish off Iraq. You know, don't, you know, let Iraq dominate the Middle East. I guess that's what a lot of the big faction on the right is. I never felt that way. I think we did the right thing.

And people got mad at George H.W. Bush believing Saddam in power. He leaves in power, and he puts the weapons inspectors on a merry-ground for the next two years.

So we'll see. J.D. Vance is weighed in. Those are the things. The JCPOA seven years ago was ripped up.

I loved it. But there's a reason. It was a terrible deal. It wasn't even voted for by the Democratic. It wasn't verified by a Democratic-led.

Senate. including Ben Cardin, Jewish, Chuck Schumer, Jewish, did not sign off on it. It was a terrible deal. New guy comes in, rips it up. Please, mister President, don't do another bad deal because it's easy now.

Maybe a controversial win unless it's the best deal ever. But in a year and a half, it's going to look bad and it's going to hurt your legacy. Here's Rebecca Grant, cut 31. President Trump is 100% right. Iran can either negotiate, give up their enriched uranium, or have their nuclear facilities blown up one way or another, cyber, bombers, whatever it takes.

And I think when he talks about whether they'll have civilian enrichment, you know, they have a power plant. You can buy fuel for that on the open global market.

So they are really into the nitty-gritty, and I think they've made big progress in getting that nuclear fuel out of Iran. And then the incentive taking off some of the sanctions or letting Iran back into the global economy. That's what's driving this. It's always been the lure with Iran, but they'd rather. Blow up Israel.

Now they have no interest. They look at the Sunnis as the enemy. They're looking to spread their influence everywhere. They've had an extremely bad run. Hezbollah Hamas have been virtually annihilated.

Basad Assad, Assad is now in Russia. the regime in Syria is hostile to them. And Saudi Arabia is getting more powerful by the day. Brian Kilmicha, Tim Orta, Inside Trump World next. A talk show that's real.

This is the Brian Kill Me Show. One trade deal. What that would do for us is it would allow companies to essentially benchmark that deal and essentially multiply that across all the other countries where we'd like to have trade deals as well.

So companies can get back to executing. They don't have to worry about planning week after week after week as the trade narrative changes. I think that's great for the economy and it's going to be great for the stock market. There you go. This is what's happening, and I think the market loves it so far, up 224 points.

President announces a trade deal with the UK. Tim Murtaud joins us now, senior advisor in 2020 and 2024, Trump campaign and author of Swing Hard. In case you hit it, Tim, welcome back. Brian, great to be with you again. Thanks very much.

Hey, Tim, my self-diagnosed thought about Trump 2 is it was not built for 100 days. When they were talking about 100 days, I mean, you have every foreign peace deal up in the air. You have his Liberation Day and all his trade deals up in the air. You have the big, beautiful bill that's just getting queued up. It's about halfway on its journey.

Of course, it's not going to be 80% approval with everything. the way it the way Trump decided to lay it out. Am I correct? I like the 200 Dave Report card and the 300.

Well, you know, a lot of administrations in the past have complained before about this one hundred day mark where it's really actually sort of arbitrary and made up. The first one hundred days, it's just a nice round number, and that's basically the only reason why anybody picks it. But a lot of the stuff that Trump has been doing is really for the long game. You know, I think he's setting up to think about how many things that he had to undo that Joe Biden and the Democrats had done that have damaged this country. You know, you're talking about these trade deal, the trade deal with the UK.

He's trying to level the playing field. America's been getting ripped off by these foreign countries for decades, right? This didn't just begin with Joe Biden, although it was bad under Joe Biden. And he tried Trump tried to do it to, I think, great excess in his first term. But it's not a simple fix.

Just look at how much prob how many problems he's had to deal with in in uh Upturning, turning over the problem with illegal immigration and then getting rid of the tens of millions, stopping the flow of the border in the first place. And then getting rid of the tens of millions of illegal aliens who are already somewhere in the interior of the country. It's a gigantic process. And changing the America's standing on the world economic stage is also a large process, and I think people just have to be patient. If you're in the stock market, you're not in the stock market with a two week or one month window.

It's a far, far longer runway than that.

So, Tim, how would you characterize the UK deal? I mean, they wanted this since they had Brexit.

Well, I mean, I think I'm just basing it on the very broad description that I see from the President this morning, and I mean, and it seems very positive. I think it's something this is, of course, the oldest and most natural relationship that we have with another country. I mean, the UK obviously is the mother country for the United States, and we've always been very close to them.

So it makes sense to have a good relationship. But even so, I mean, Donald Trump is really the king of tough love. A lot of these countries that he's dealing with are, in fact, allies. They are historical allies, and they've been allies in some cases for centuries. But that does not mean that you always see eye to eye with your allies.

And every once in a while, there has to be, forgive the phrase, a come to Jesus meeting. And I think that's what Trump has been having with all these countries and phone calls to heads of state one after another. And I think that's what he's accomplishing. The agreement with, he writes on Truth Social, the agreement with the UK is a full and comprehensive one that will cement the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom for years to come because of our history. Many other deals which are in serious stages.

Negotiation follow. They said there's as many as 17. You also said something about Jerome Powell. Believe it or not, not complimentary. Too late.

Jerome Powell is a fool who doesn't have a clue. Other than that, I like him very much. Oil and gas way down, almost all costs, groceries and eggs down, virtually no inflation, tariff money pouring into the U.S. The exact opposite of too late, enough. He's upset that he did not lower rates, but he's not the only president to ever go after the Fed.

That makes people nervous, though, doesn't it? I mean, look, if you listen to the likes of Elizabeth Warren, yeah, she gets all she starts caterwalling any time President Trump criticizes the Fed chairman, but she herself. The United States Senator has criticized the Fed chairman for this or that, and on the issue of interest rates and all of that.

So I think when people get nervous about it, it's only because, I mean, these people really, a lot of these folks really do have, I think it's overused, but it's actually true. That's why it's overused. Trump derangement syndrome. I mean, there are certain things that have been happening in Washington, D.C. for decades, and no one blinks an eye.

But as soon as Trump does exactly the same thing, everyone freaks out. You know, and I think that's why I think Congress has this incredible, you mentioned the big, beautiful bill. Congress has this incredible opportunity to really install the America First Agenda in all of its glory in this big, beautiful bill. And I know that's why President Trump is watching it so closely. I hope we can talk about that.

There's a bunch of stuff that will reflect his agenda that Congress really has to get in that bill.

So here's the problem: Medicaid and the SALT. There's a SALT caucus in those battleground districts that the president needs to retain or win, like where Mike Lowell is in New York. And there's people like Chip Roy and Tech say we should not be having giving tax breaks for state taxes. And the other one is Medicaid. People like Susan Collins and Senator Murkowski and others, excuse me, Josh Hawley's conservatives again.

Are nervous about cutting back eligibility for Medicaid, which we know that Obamacare, in my view, abused by expanding eligibility on it.

So, how do you square that circle?

Well, the President has been very clear that he's not going to touch Medicaid, he's not going to touch Social Security, and anybody who is receiving benefits through those programs is going to continue to receive those. He's been extremely clear about that. And those are all deals that Congress is going to hammer out that between the House and the Senate and also the White House. It's a complicated process, of course. But there's so much other stuff that is big picture that has to get in there as well.

There's going to be a lot of things that Congress will have to address in this big, beautiful reconciliation bill that relate to border security and enforcing the laws that we've got, enforcing, strengthening the border, enforcing the border. The President has cut illegal immigration almost to a dead stop. And now the real project is getting the tens of millions of illegal aliens who are already here out. I think the Congress has to also make permanent the Trump tax cuts of 2016. The Trump's well that would be in this bill, though.

But that's in this bill. But the thing is, though, how are you going to get the conservatives with the moderates? And President Trump has got to get, Senator Kennedy is calling in to get involved directly, but both of them are looking for their not only their themselves personally, but They feel like Susan Collins feels like she'll lose the seat if Medicaid is touched, but there's no way you save $1.8 trillion, which the president needs to save. Uh and not cut and not touch met any of the entitlements.

So It's it's a really tough thing for the math to work. You know, Brian, look, if you look at what has been happening here with Doge, and Doge is not, of course, the end-all solution, but it is a roadmap. And I think Doge has identified a lot of savings, which are cuts to programs that really should not exist, and spending that should not exist. I mean, I don't know how many times the President has to say it. But he is not going to touch these benefits that people have been receiving and expect to receive.

And for Social Security, for example, having paid into the program for their entire lives. He has said it, he said during the campaign. He's said it since the campaign. He's saying it today, probably. He's not going to touch those things, and he won't sign a bill, I believe, that contains reductions in benefits to people.

So the Susan Collins is of the world. I think they are going to be satisfied and be able to vote for it. And I think if there are conservative budget hawks, I hope that this is going to be the most fiscally responsible budget bill that a lot of these members of Congress have ever had a chance to vote on in their careers. And there's other I know we've talked about this before, but if you talk about the cost of prescription drug prices, for example, getting rid of the Biden pill penalty in this bill is enormous because it discouraged innovation in pill form medicine, which is 71% cheaper than other types of medicine. And the Biden-Pill Penalty is also Blocked the development of new cures for things like Alzheimer's and cancer.

And so going away from pills, which again are 71% cheaper, if Congress can do that, Get rid of the Biden pill penalty, it will institute a golden age of innovation in medicines and lower costs for everyone. There is a lot of different pieces to this puzzle, and all of them can fit together. Look, President Trump is making deals with foreign nations who no one ever thought would come to the table and negotiate with the United States. I bet you he can probably strike a deal with his own Congress. I hope so, because I think the whole country is expecting it.

And some people have said, why don't we wait till December and just do something with Democrats? I'm watching reading Punch Bowl today, and I said, I'm all for bipartisanship, but if you think you're going to get a great deal of December with Democrats a year out of the midterm elections, there's not a chance in hell. Especially when they turn on their own moderates like Senator Fetterman. Tim Murtod, thanks so much. Brian, as always, a pleasure to talk to you, and thank you.

You got it. 1-866-408-7669. The other big thing: the president's got to get credit for two things that are not in the headlines, but I think is going to have everything to do with what people talk about four years from now. And that is cracking down on anti-Semitism on campuses. It is so out of control.

You saw what happened in Columbia yesterday, and this was planned. They wanted to do the same thing on Friday, but somehow they stopped it.

So these students look like students, and I think they had to all give their IDs. And 80 were arrested, and they got to give IDs there. They're mostly students who went in the middle of finals and just held up and just defiled the library at Columbia, knowing the university that $400 million is being frozen right now as they examine if they're sincerely looking to make changes on their campuses, like cracking down on anti-Semitism. This happens, basically, cost them $400 million. The answer is no.

And now you stop these Jewish kids from studying. And now you stop the whole library and you say horrible things about the Jewish community? President Trump is cracking down on that. Then he brought in the other colleges yesterday to talk about that. And he brings in these other colleges other than Ives, like Haverford, who basically got an F For cracking down on anti-Semitism on campuses.

And the woman shows up, Wendy Raymond. With note cards, with what to read and say when asked about anti-Semitism and different things on campus. How could you, as President, not be conversant and natural in what you type of retribution will be for students who crack down against people who go back against people who you I guess you don't like their religion? Here is Wendy Raymond with Elise Stefanik, cut 15. Was there any disciplinary action?

Taken against that group or those individuals? Those kinds of statements are. I'm not asking you if you're repugnant. I'm asking about the disciplinary action. You were the one university president who failed to lay out if any disciplinary action has been taken, if any suspensions or expulsions.

So I am asking you, was there any disciplinary action taken? Disciplinary action can include expulsion and I'm not asking what it can include. I'm asking, was it taken? Respectfully, Representative, I will not be talking about individual cases. Respectfully, President of Haverford, many people have sat in this position who are no longer in the positions as president of universities for their failure to answer straightforward questions.

And that is a warning that should be well taken. And then they published on Elise Stefanic's site over-the-shoulder shots of her reading off note cards. You know what that means? She didn't crack down at all after the anti-Semitic behavior. You rip these kids out, you tell them they're an embarrassment, you send them back to their parents, and you give them back whatever money is left on that year's tuition, and don't embarrass the university again.

It's real simple. And if the Board of Trustees doesn't like that, then you expose that board of being anti-Semitic. It's just incredible to me that this is happening. You listen to the Brian Kilmey Show. Back in a moment.

I want to get your take on that. Also, the President's got a huge announcement that he says is going to be related to the Middle East. And it's not the Abraham Accords, and it's not an Iranian deal. What do you think it is? Weigh in.

Politics, current events, and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say. Stay with Brian Kilmead. A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmead.

And at this phase of my life, I'm in therapy right now because I'm transitioning. I'm 60 years old. I finished a really hard thing in my life with my family intact. I'm an empty nester. My girls are in, they've been launched.

And now for the first time, as I've said before, every choice that I'm making is completely mine. Wow, that does not sound like somebody who's married to Barack Obama. Does it? I mean, is that really something? Do you think President Obama's like, great, thanks.

Well, you know, do you want to go out to dinner or do you have plans already? I mean, Think about that. Why does she need therapy? I feel like there are certain bubbles in this population who feel like all of their problems are gonna be answered through therapy to try to figure it out. Yeah, I'm not judging it, but like, okay, I mean, why are they acting like I just got out of war?

I mean, she's been out for how many years she's been out of the White House for eight years. She was really traumatized. Did she did she hate it that much? I guess so. She also talks, we have another cut about her, um, with her talking about how expensive it is to live in the White House.

It's expensive to live in the White House. As many people don't know. I mean, much is not covered. You're paying for every food, every bit of food that you eat. You know, you're not paying for housing and the staff in it, but everything, even travel.

If you're not traveling with the President, if your kids are coming on a Bright Star, which is the First Lady's plane, we had to pay for their travel to be on the plane. It is an expensive proposition and you're running for two years and not earning an income. Wow, a couple of things. I did not know that because she was heavily criticized for flying to Hawaii and doing things. I didn't know she was writing her own check.

That would be an interesting retort to say, Why are you complaining? I remember that thinking because their vacation home was in Hawaii. You know, the other guy, yeah, President Trump going down to Texas, President Donald Trump going to New Jersey. And I remember going, Wow, every vacation to Hawaii. And sometimes she would go there by herself.

If that was if she was paying for that, I wish I. She would could have got a lot of lot of heat off of her.

Well, it sounds like she wasn't paying for it for herself, but like if she had her kids with her or maybe her, you know, her mother and things like that, they were paying part of it. But I do think the more interesting fact is sort of where, unless you are very. Rich, or the I guess the amount of money that you need to run for president, right? Two years not really having a job. But I mean, that's where you get the donations.

And then once you're in office, I mean, you are I think she's probably exagger you know. Exaggerating a little bit. You know, given that Obama's net worth went up exponentially when he was in office. The richest guy. I think he's going to be, he's a billionaire.

Yeah. But you just can't cash in on it when you're in the White House, but you know, the day you leave, you can accept all those speeches, the book deals, and everything else.

So it sounds as if their future was dim. I mean, look at, if you just look at her advances on her books at sell, and then you'll imagine her speeches. If she wants to do a speech, you probably get. $500,000? She could probably get $200,000, let's say, for a speech.

Meanwhile. What is going on? I mean, she was doing those stadium tours, right, with Oprah. They were making. good money on those.

Right. Uh but you know this she's being exposed now. Look, I think she's I think that if they get divorced or something. I mean, her stock plummets. It's not like Eleanor Roosevelt, who made a name for herself for this great benevolent act.

Hillary Clinton had a name for herself, whatever you think of her. Do you think Michelle Obama She became Secretary of State and was a senator and first lady. Do you really think that on her own that she's going to be marketable? I think so because I think that super left wing crowd loves her. And I think she, like to that group, 100% in Hollywood, she will always be in those circles.

I agree with that. Yeah, I mean, I guess so.

So, I mean, we'll see. And, you know, the whole thing with You know, we don't know what Barack Obama is doing, but evidently she's got some really negative things to say about him. That is bogus, right? And is wrong. Right.

Okay, we'll see. I would love, I don't know what's going on. At one point, she's a best-selling author. And she's growing a garden. Telling the kids he's right.

And now, all of a sudden, she's bitter, gone out of therapy, and looking to turn the page on her life alone. And has a mediocre podcast. Yeah, I heard no one's listening. Yeah. Even though how much you want to bet, she'll be nominated for a Golden Globe next year in the new podcast calendar.

Absolutely. Right? Yeah. This is like the best editing of the Kamala Harris interview on 60 Minutes. That is why the 60 Minutes is being sued and is settling right now.

From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show. Brian In Kill Mead. All right, I am pumped up. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Killmead Show.

We come to you from 48th and 6 in Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, around the world. Six blocks from here, we watched a bunch of teenagers, one 12-year-old, harass and beat up cops while older TDA members stole from pedestrians on Times Square. I mean, that's some of the chaos that takes place here. And sadly, because of some of the tension on trade, I don't think we're going to have as many tourists this year.

So I think we're going to have to focus. Sadly, the TDA members have to focus on robbing New Yorkers, which would be good news for us. Mark Thiessen is standing by. Griff Jenkins is also here. Big day today, announcing a first trade deal.

President of the United States is. Big day today. We're announcing that we're marking seven years since the president got out of the JCPOA, that deal, that terrible deal with Iran. Lindsey Graham and Tom Cotton have a press conference. That's going to be important.

And Sean Duffy's having a press conference, demanding money to revamp all of transportation. And who is going to say that he's exaggerating and doesn't need every cent of it? Let's get to the big three. Number three. We think that there is a deal here that would reintegrate Iran into the global economy, that would be really good for the Iranian people, but would result in the complete cessation of any chance that they can get a nuclear weapon.

Okay, easy enough. J.D. Vance, just don't see it. VP maps out a path for Iran to avoid a war with Israel and the U.S.

Sorry, I cannot trust that regime. I just don't see them ever being dependable, reliable, or want peace. Number two. They had drums and megaphones and whatnot. They were standing on tables.

It's the same repetition as last year and most protesters and administration has apparently learned nothing. Anti-Semitic madness on Columbia's campus again as radicals storm and overwhelm security at their library. Eighty zip tied and arrested by the NYPD. No one could leave unless they gave their IDs, most of which are students. They all better be suspended.

Number one. We did hear from the President confirming that it was indeed Britain to be first in line.

Now, this agreement is the first since the President imposed then later paused stiff tariffs put in place on countries at the beginning of April. The UK is in a bit of a unique position because it did not fall under the reciprocal tariffs. That is Alexandria Hoff, one deal done, more to come as the first trade deal is announced by Team Trump today with a meeting with China 48 hours away. We have the latest on the high-stakes talks and the progress many different talks are making. And I listened to Secretary of Treasury Besides, and one of the things that is so impressive about him, he's not full of hyperbole.

He tells you exactly what's going on. He says 17 deals in motion. 17 deals. And my sense is India would have been first had they not been bombed by terrorists in Pakistan and if they not responded, now we're in a low-profile war that President Trump is now being asked to get in the middle of. Let's go to Mark Thiessen, former chief speechwriter for George W.

Bush, Washington Post columnist, Fox News contributor. Mark, welcome back. Good to be with you, Brian. First off, on Pakistan and India, I mean, it looks like India is now asking after retaliating, they're saying don't retaliate back. And Pakistan is like, hell we aren't.

So this could get out of control. It could. And look, this is all the tensions that are simmering over Jammu and Kashmir, which is a region between India and Pakistan that both of them claim. I remember when I was with Secretary Rumsfeld in the Pentagon and the Jammu-Kashmir issue was coming up and President Bush was being urged to try and negotiate a settlement. He told him, if you like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, you're going to love Jammu and Kashmir.

Yeah. Yeah. It n uh never should have been made. Uh cut 43.

So terrible. My position is I get along with both. I know both very well, and I want to see him work it out. I want to see him stop. And hopefully they can stop now.

They've gotten. tit for tat.

So hopefully they can stop now. But I know both. We get along with both the countries very well. Good relationships with both and I want to see it stop. And if I can do anything to help, I will be there.

So I think he could really blitz this quick and try to de-escalate immediately because it looks like India lost between two and five planes already.

So that obviously I mean, it doesn't look like the most organized retaliation. Nope, not at all. And also good time to negotiate a trade deal with the United States. You're asking for our help to save your country from a war with Pakistan. It might not be a bad idea to sit down and send your trade negotiators too.

But look, India's a democracy. Pakistan is a quasi-democracy. It's got full terrorists, but full of terrorists. And they've got nuclear weapons. That's what everybody's afraid of.

If these were just two countries without nuclear weapons fighting it out, it would be a tragedy, but the world wouldn't be focused on this. The reason we care is because they both have nuclear weapons and we don't want this to escalate into nuclear war. Imagine Iran with a nuclear weapon. If you're worried about India and Pakistan, imagine what would be happening in the Middle East if Iran had a nuke, which is why it's so important that Trump follow through and disarm the Iranian regime. I know.

The thing is, this is what worried me about what President Trump said. Listen. And this is uh him talking about enrichment. Is it the U.S. position that Iran can have an enrichment program as long as it doesn't reach the weapons region?

We haven't made that decision yet. We will, but we haven't made that decision yet. Yes, we have. I thought it was zero in Richmond. He told everyone over the weekend it was zero in Richmond.

He everybody says zero. Yeah, except Rubio is negotiating a trying to apparently negotiating a one-two-three agreement with them, which would allow the civilian nuclear enrichment. Look, here's the there's a model for how you successfully disarm a country. It's the Bush administration disarming Libya. When we went in to Libya and they gave us complete access to their entire nuclear and chemical weapons program, we sent US planes, landed in Tripoli, loaded up all the Iranians, loaded up all the centrifuges.

Yeah, it is a great example. It is a great example. And loaded it up and took it to Oak Ridge, Tennessee. And it's been sitting there. They were completely, completely disarmed.

If anything, I don't believe that Donald Trump is going to negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran that is not as good as the nuclear deal with Libya. But if you look at the Libya example, Gaddafi ends up tortured and killed. And then you look at giving up the nukes with Ukraine, they end up invaded and people lied about their loyalty. I guess South Africa is the only place it really worked. But here's the okay, but then by that definition, no one country should give up its nukes period.

I mean, you know, I'm not talking about the final result. And look, the Iranian regime may fall one day. I think that would be a great thing for the world if the Iranian regime fell. But, you know, so that part doesn't bother me, though that was under Obama later. That wasn't the Bush administration where Gaddafi fell.

But here's the thing: the Iranians are. weak right now. They have never, they are weaker than they've been since 1979. They lost, Trump has been pummeling their Houthi allies. Israel has decimated Hamas and Hezbollah.

They've lost their only Arab ally in Syria, which means that we've cut off the pipeline of weapons going from Iran through Syria to Lebanon and the West Bank and Gaza. That's been shut down. They tried to attack Israel and they failed. And as a result, Israel has taken out their air defenses and their ballistic missile capability. They're strategically naked.

They have their terrorist proxies. Oh, and Trump is pummeling their economy. The value of their currency has dropped 90% because of the maximum pressures campaign. They're completely strategically naked, economically decimated. They have no capability of effectively responding to an attack.

We, the answer is very the message to the Iranians should be very simple. You let us in and do what we did in Libya, or we bomb the hell out of you. Those are those are your two choices. Pick one. This is not a conversation about your civilian nuclear program.

Those are the two options. Anything other than those two options, I just don't believe that Donald Trump is going to let George Bush have a better nuclear deal with Libya than he got. I don't get it. I mean, to me, I know you have to talk, have talked. Go ahead.

Try it. Make it clear. Zero nuclear program, enrichment done outside your country. And there's got to be weapons inspectors there regularly. But we all know if they're allowed to enrich it all and keep centrifuges, it's going to be the same thing.

For about a year, let's say they'll allow weapons inspectors in, and then there's going to be something that upsets them, and they're going to kick them out again, and there's going to be talks about them starting their own program, and this is a bad deal. I don't think the president wants that on his legacy. No.

And the the other thing that he needs to realize is that Ev everybody's afraid of him. Putin is afraid of Donald Trump. The Iranian regime is afraid of Donald Trump. But that is a depreciating asset over time as his presidency. He's in his final four years.

Everybody's going to be planning how do I get through these next four years so that I can emerge stronger once there's another weak American president like Obama or Biden? Because it'll happen eventually, in their view. Because the history is that we will have a weak American president again one day. Maybe not in four years, but one day. They just want to get through this Trump era.

He needs to make sure that any deal he cuts with Putin, any deal he cuts with the Iranians is irreversible. That cannot be, that cannot be, you know, give them a way out in four years when he's left office. His legacy depends on making irreversible deals. And I hope that his team understands that. I do too.

We also see that J.D. Vance came out yesterday and was speaking about Russia and said: look, they want too much. And they're basically not being realistic. We're trying to get them economically back on course. That could be some of the incentives to do it.

Does Vladimir Putin from what you know? And we also know, too, that the Ukrainians have agreed to somewhat of a demilitarized zone between the two countries, which I think is laudable for them. And they did agree to a 30-day pause, so that's laudable. They deserve credit. They have the mineral deal.

They signed off on it. Give them credit for that.

So does Vladimir Putin understand what negotiation is? And if he does want to end this violence and try to get his economy back, there is a plan there for him? Or does he just want to keep fighting? What do your sources say?

So he he wants Ukraine. And it's only a question of whether he can, again, he's trying to get through the Trump ears. Look, here's the situation. The Ukrainians, Trump has put a peace deal on the table. The Ukrainians have said yes.

to the entire peace deal. Right, and so now it's on Putin. Is he going to agree to the same peace deal that the Ukrainians have agreed to? And if he accepts it, then we figure out a way to secure it and make it work. And if he rejects it, then he's the obstacle to peace and he has to pay the price.

Donald Trump has said that if Putin rejects the deal, he will arm the Ukrainians. And he will impose secondary tariffs on their oil and natural gas exports, which means their economy is going to collapse.

So again, Donald Trump has maximum in Iran and Russia, Donald Trump has maximum leverage right now. He can force whatever deal he wants or punish them. And I give him lots of time. And lots of credit for gi for allowing the the a peaceful trying to seeking a peaceful end to all of this, but the Ukrainians have said yes.

So now it's uh it's all on Putin.

So, drones went into Moscow yesterday. They didn't do a ton of damage, but they shut down the Moscow airport. They didn't know how many more were coming.

So, they are filming it. You don't even have to bomb anything. You just send the drones in through the airport, and they shut down everything.

So I did not hear about him committing to get more arms to them, so that's interesting. I did not know that, but the Ukrainians want to buy it from us, and they could use the leverage of the rare earth deal to do some of that. And some of that, they just have money and they can buy it.

So if I'm the president of the United States, he doesn't want to instigate, but he wants to bring them to a certain area. But at one point, they should say, listen, we're going to help them if you don't stop. It's going to be worse from you. Yeah, so he said it on Maria Bartaromo's show about a year ago before he was president. I interviewed him in Mar-a-Lago and I asked him, Do you still stand by that?

And he said, absolutely.

So he's committed to arming the Ukrainians if Putin says no.

So Putin needs to understand that there's no situation now where we walk away. The only situation where we walk away would have been if the Ukrainians were saying no and he was saying no and Trump threw up his hands and said, you know, let them fight it out. But the Ukrainians have said yes. They've agreed to his peace terms. And so now the options for Russia are agree to Trump's peace terms.

Or See your economy collapse and Ukraine getting weapons like they've done from the United States, like they'd never seen, buying them, not aid. Purchasing them. And actually, Trump has already just a week ago sent the first notification to Congress of the first arms sales to Ukraine under that plan. And uh lastly The president's announcing a major deal, some type of announcement that's going to surprise everybody, working on it for years. I don't think it's the Abraham Accords.

I don't think it's the Iranian deal. He's already talked too specifically about where we're at. Do you have any idea what he's talking about?

So I don't know. I'm all ears. But I think that I think another first of all, the Abraham Accords are an achievement worthy of a Nobel Prize as they exist. And I cannot believe that at some point he's not going to build on that. And he's got the trade deal with the UK, which is terrific.

I think what you're going to see in the next few months happening is you're going to see more diplomatic progress in terms of the recognition of Israel in the Middle East. You're going to see trade deals with about seventeen countries concluded. You're going to see a big, beautiful bill passed by Congress. And we're going to see some decisive action on the Iranian nuclear program. And I think Trump's clear popularity is going to go through the roof.

Yeah, as I have said before, this administration is not built to be judged in 100 days. That's just not the way he is doing things.

So it's too many balls in the air. Mark, thanks so much. Take care. All right. Consequential times.

Mark's the best to break it down: 1-866-408-7669. Griff Jacobs at the bottom of the air. We'll talk more about these deals, this so-called due process with these legal immigrants, the numbers in New York. They're absolutely unbelievable how many criminals are staying in these shelters for free. Don't move.

Both sides, all opinions, it's Brian Killmead. The more you listen, the more you'll know. It's Brian Kilmead. And to our Jewish students.

Some of you who are here today. I wish to make it unmistakably clear that you are valued members of our community and on our campus. I am sorry that my actions and my leadership let you down. I remain committed to addressing anti-Semitism and all issues that harm our community members. I am committed to getting this right.

But they didn't. And they got an F when it comes to cracking down on anti Semitism on your campus. And that's Haverford. I know. I know you had your heart set on going to Haverford, but if you're Jewish, you probably want to keep looking.

Jerry, you're in Chicago. What's your mind, Jerry? Hi, Brian. Thanks for taking my call, buddy. No problem.

your last Uh gas. You were talking about the Gaddafi and Libya and whatnot.

Okay. Libya and Gaddafi gave up their nuclear weapons because we put a rocket right into Gaddafi's family's tent and we killed his family and we told them he was next.

Now Iran is not going to give up their nuclear weapons. I don't care. No deal is going to be made with them people. Either us or Israel are going to have to go in there and blow up those labs And that's the only way we're going to keep them from having a nuclear weapon. I can't disagree with you, Jerry.

I mean, I just we've been through this drill for 40 years. We've been watching how obstinate they've been and how this different administration's all feel. There's elements of the Iranian regime they can deal with, and every single one of them has been embarrassed and paid for politically. Barack Obama's legacy is the worst deal ever. John Kerry gets more, it gets more embarrassing by the day.

And now we have somebody that only understands direct pressure. And direct pressure, they have never been as vulnerable. Give them an off-ramp. They gotta hand over everything. or else let Iran do their thing.

We come back. Griff Jenkins joins us. We talk about this immigration system. We talk about the crackdown of the border. Also, the problems that we're having with these sanctuary cities.

They're not giving in. And it makes it so much harder for our men and women to scoop up the illegals amongst us. You listen to the Brian Killmee Show.

So glad you're here. Don't forget Briankilme.com for my Fox Nation stage shows in Dayton, Dallas, and Richmond. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead. Biden Inc.

has collapsed. All those Biden grandkids had a lavish lifestyle, which they very much like. Hunter made hundreds of thousands of dollars, millions of dollars. Joe, as a former president, is not in a position to get the same kind of paid speeches, corporate boards, book deal. Biden, Inc.

needs a source of revenue. And Hunter, even though he was pardoned and he's not going to prison, Hunter does not have great earning capacity. You think? Why not? I mean, he's so good, and he just had that drug problem caught on camera, but it's not his laptop.

Wait, it is his laptop.

So now I know what you're talking about. Mark Halpert on his two-way podcast talking about right now that Joe Biden's got to come back. I guess you would think at this point, at 80-something years old, he's got enough money, but he's got to come back and establish himself. He's on the View today. Griff Jenkins is here.

Griff, I know not a day goes by. Like everybody knows what Griff is saying: it's 11 o'clock Eastern time. Do not call him. The View is on, right? That's right.

Listen, how many times I say text him, and you go, Not available. Yeah, The View is on. Do you know it's the number one talk show? They claim that the number one talk show in America. Listen, you know, to defend the View, believe it or not, for a moment, if you remember going back for years, The View used to talk about lighthearted stuff.

They used to have really interesting discussions. It's just in recent years they seem to have learned that their shift, their bread and butter, seems to be in the political. Arena, which never really fares well for him. This interview, by the way, is the first interview since the election that he's doing. He did BBC, though, right?

He did the BBC. There's tape. This is the first live one, and it's with Jill Biden. Too bad Hunter's not going to be on the couch as well with him. That would make it very interesting.

But we'll see what he has to say. I would submit to you that I'm not sure the BBC interview tape did very much other than to remind us that, wow, it's a good thing that guy didn't get elected because he's really started to fade because that's what age does. My mother's 93, not going wood, she's in good health. Any of us that have like older parents, you watch the process. And even when there aren't flubs, you can see that he's missing more than just a stop.

Right. I mean, you see him just look down during the interview and you think did he fall asleep and he'll come back. And what he says, you know, that's his perspective, whether you agree with it or not. But the long pause makes you think that he might not finish the sentence.

So it looks terrible. Why they. I mean, is his wife just in denial that the more he's out, the more it's going to reinforce the four books that are out talking about how in various ways he was asleep at the Switch? Yeah. And, you know, listen, I've talked about this before.

And, you know, I remember the day back in last summer when Sally Quinn, right? Her husband, longtime publisher of the Washington Post, Sally Quinn wrote a piece directly titled to Jill Biden, saying she remembered, you know, her husband and going back to Watergate and he was going down and he died after a year of having Alzheimer's. And she talked about how she basically pulled him out of the Watergate 40-year reunion stuff because she saw how bad it was going and she didn't want her husband's legacy to be that. And so, you know, now we're about to watch Jill Biden sit on a live TV set with millions of people watching the view. And if he does have a flub, you've really got to wonder why she would allow him to continue.

To be in that environment. And, you know, look, hope it goes great. But, Griff, you're in Washington for how many years? I've been there for 33 years. Have you ever remembered Democrat?

And you might, I don't, in such disarray. I mean, for example, the biggest crowds are two socialists, AOC and Bernie Sanders. They say nothing new. They get big. Congratulations.

And even in Idaho, in different places, kind of interesting, but they have no new message. Their up-and-coming star seems to be unhinged in Congresswoman Crockett. Jasmine Crockett. Jasmine Crockett. And they got one moderate who they're attacking relentlessly as something physically wrong with them for being pro-Israel and being not anti-Trump.

So here's a look at those Democrats when asked about Joe Biden, Cut 36. That's good to see him engaged, but the party's moved beyond the Joe Biden era. As far as you know, the generational change, look, that's going to happen, right? And that's going to continue. There are growing pains within any party, and we're feeling that within the Democratic Party.

I am a part, as old as I am, I was a part of generational change at the local level and here also at the federal level. I think the Democratic Party welcomes everyone from all generations. People have different points of view on what we ought to be talking about now, what our agenda ought to be going forward.

So they're trying to get around it. I don't know. I don't know who's making sense now. Forget charisma. I really hadn't thought about it until you asked me that actually.

That was Jared Moskowitz who started with you. Yeah, but I've never been asked that question, you know, in all the time I've been in Washington, which dates back to the Clinton administration and even before that, George W. Bush. But I cannot remember either party that's ever been in such disarray because of their loss, not only in like the leaders or some, you know, mishap, just a complete detachment from the voters, from the country. That's why we saw the election results we did.

And at the end of the day, the Democrats have lost total connection to the working class, total loss really to young people now we're seeing. But they need the message more than they need the leaders. And the only leaders that are getting noise and traction are the Crocketts and the AOC saying, we just got to fight for fight's sake. But look at where they are. The best example of this that tells you where they are.

They're fighting for completely. Albrego Garcia. That's not going well for them. Still. And it's like they didn't learn a lesson in November.

Now they're doubling down, and you're seeing Democrats struggle going, well, no, no, I'm not actually for him. I'm just talking about the process and it's nuance and it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. And, you know, look, if we see these trade deals come together, if we see the markets shift, if we see some progress and the economy improve, what's their answer going to be to that? Because they've got, in politics, it's always two steps ahead, not two steps backwards. And they're not going to have an answer.

I'm going to bring this. I'll continue on that. ACLU is urging the court to order the return of Kilmore.

Now, in turn, the Justice Department has pursued Daniel Lozano Campargo. Who applied for asylum in 2022? He was arrested on cocaine possession, was recently deported under the Alien Enemies Act, right? But they're going off to find out more about Kilmar. ABC is reporting that Kilmar was actually hired by a guy now in jail to bring illegal immigrants back and forth and traffic them through the country.

That was his job.

So they're going to go interview an illegal alien who's in prison about that story and bring it forward.

So ABC of all people reporting it.

So how much more proof do you need that this guy's as bad as it gets? Listen, as far as the border officials go, you don't need any more because when that tape came out from the Tennessee highway stop, I was talking with people like Lieutenant Olivares of Texas DPS and his deputy, Lupe Kussere. I literally said, Hey, that's the stuff we stopped. I rode with you at three in the morning. We stopped people like that.

Does this look like a human trafficking as it appears? He said, This is textbook. Textbook, right? Textbook human trafficking. And not only that, you're seeing.

You know, the numbers with the border People are like, oh, yeah, the border is secure now. It doesn't matter. It does matter. Just today, when you guys were interviewing Tom Homan, I was in the. Green room talking with him.

I said, Hey man, how are the gotaways? He said, Griff, it's unbelievable. We're getting less than 40 every day. It was 1,800 to 2,000 a day.

Now, why does that matter? It matters because not only was the border open, we were seeing seven, eight, 9,000 coming across the board and getting released, but those gotaways were always the greatest threat, security threat. And the troublemakers, because we don't know who they are, but we know if they want to evade being apprehended, there's probably a likelihood that they have a reason for that. And now we have got that down to, I think he said yesterday it was 37 compared to 1,800. We need that Aliens Enemies Act.

And what we need that for is to be able to send these people out of the country and prove that this is an organized enemy. For example, Al-Qaeda, you could say it's an organized enemy, not a country, but they organized as an enemy force, and you could talk a battle plan, you could talk about their mission.

Now, with Venezuela to say these are aliens, they qualify under Aliens Enemies Act, I understand you have to show that Maduro, his government, send these guys in to create havoc here, kill Venezuelans who defected, and create havoc in America. And the intelligence agencies leaked out that they don't think that this is organized by Maduro. Is this another example of intelligence leaking out things to be against the administration that drove Trump and other administrations nuts in the past? The resistance continues. Yeah, it is.

And, you know, there's a chance it's just true that it isn't organized, but I don't care. It still affects us the same way. But go ahead.

Well, no, look, there is a long history between the former leader of Trinity Aragua, who is on the run, believed to be hiding in Colombia, and the leader was in that prison in Aragua, right? That's where this all started. They formed in a prison in Aragua. In Aragua, it's a central Venezuelan city where one of the biggest most violent criminal prisons. We see Sikat down in El Salvador.

But Tocoron, if you look that up, Tocoron is the prison that houses the worst criminals in Venezuela, in central Venezuela. And that gang began there. The leader got very successful, so much so that it became a political problem for Maduro. Maduro sent in a lot of guards. There was a riot.

There was a lot of bloodshed. And then all of a sudden, supposedly, the leader escapes to Colombia, which we don't know where he is. I forget his name. But there has been a lot of intelligence also that they are working in concert to profit over the human trafficking, drugs, and everything else that they're doing. There is a criminal organization set up.

And I think a lot of that is what the administration believes. But step back for a second. The American people don't see a difference between whether Maduro has a handle. On this or not, they see that Trendearagua is killing and injuring and threatening a heck of a lot more Americans in American cities than Al-Qaeda or ISIS or any other threat.

So I asked Tom Homan this today.

So just give me clarity on this because no one really can. You have 8 million illegals who came under Biden, roughly 20 million that came here under over decades here illegally.

So I catch this, I catch a guy. You he does not he does not belong here. I catch him, let's say he's a criminal. I'm going to deport you right away. What do process do they get?

Now, they say if they claim for asylum, it's one thing, and if they say they don't want to go, they want a hearing, they can get that. Is that true? Because I thought there was an expedited way to deport people that Clinton was able to send 350,000 back. You can't do that by giving them all hearings.

So, what's the fair way to do it? What's the American way to do it? It's such a great point. And you go back to even the Clinton example, it's a great one. Expedited removal.

Even under Obama, remember, he became the deporter-in-chief because he had an unaccompanied minor problem that burst up, and then everybody else came. But at the end of the day, just think of it as this, because we hear so much about due process. Remember, think of it as a one to 10 scale of your due process. You've got you and I are American citizens. We have a 10 out of 10 due process from the start, always forever, as in deportment.

Embedded in the Constitution, you and our tents. When you illegally cross that border, you have zero. You start at zero. Once you begin to claim asylum, once you begin to try and find your reasons of why you belong here to not be deported, that number fluctuates: a two, a three, a four, a five, whatever it is. And if you get a reason for asylum and you're granted the permit to stay, you become a legal permanent resident, you get on a path.

But the majority do not. And when you have the criminals that commit crimes, when they get here, you go back to a zero. You are violating any reason to have crossed, and you had zero when you got here. And the due process, when you talk to these immigration lawyers, and I've interviewed a bunch of them, they say that what's really lost in this is that not everyone is due this, you know, weeks-long, months-long trial and hearing and everything else. You can be not a foot.

It's not Can you deputize people to be the judges? Example: Can you get people that aren't judges to preside over this? That's in an illegal alien case. You're right, putting your finger on something important, which is we've heard a lot about a rocket docket, meaning there aren't enough immigration judges.

So, how could they set it up at the border so that you could increase in numbers, deputizing people, so that they can make the ruling right there, turn them around, deport them if they don't meet it? It's never been done. I don't know why, because you could do it by Zoom today. It's you know, it's easy. You can have somebody zooming from Washington, wherever you set up the largest number of people to be immigration judges and put them through a rapid-fire qualification process to become that.

It hasn't been done like marriage values. Right. Get something in the mail, mail away for it. Exactly. But, you know, this administration, and I think Steve Miller's, who's really been driving a lot of this, and he does a master class of talking to the press about it when they do it, about where they stand.

I think now they're saying this. There are a in case of the criminals that have committed these crimes here, Trenton Aragua members and 13 gang members, there's no need. That's why the AEA has been. Invoke the Alien Enemies Act because we've got to get them out of here quickly because we're dealing with such a large number. If there are questions of a case where due process is due, then you put them in that process.

But, you know, this is a fight that I think the administration believes they're going to win, and they may very well likely win. And when you go to the so that they lost in two courts already, they've lost in two courts, but it's far from over because ultimately it's going to go to the Supreme Court. And in the court of public opinion, I think the American people continue to be largely, overwhelmingly behind getting the criminals out. I know the Supreme Court needs to do everything these days. Back in a moment with Griff Jenkins.

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

In addition, the UK will reduce or eliminate numerous non-tariff barriers that. Unfairly discriminated against American products, but this is now turning out, I think, really to be a great deal for both countries because it'll be. Really great for the UK also. They're opening up the country. Their country is a little closed.

And we appreciate that. They'll also be fast-tracking American goods through their customs process so our exports go. to uh a very very quick uh form of approval and There won't be any red tape. President of the United States, this is what I've been waiting for, Griff Jenkins. I've been waiting for the trade deals to come, and now they're going to come.

I think they're going to be quick, too. I think they've got 17 in the hopper. First one is the UK. That just announces. It's not just you waiting.

It's the markets. This is what they wanted to see. And you're right. You've got likely we're going to see Japan, South Korea, potentially India coming next down the pike. And obviously, this is what the president said.

Give it some time. This is, you know, the work between Keir Starmer, the new prime minister, and Trump seem to have a good relationship. They've seen eye to eye on this. We'll see what the details are. It'll be interesting to see, Brian, in the next hour or so if Democrats jump on it right away and start to attack it.

Then what are they going to say? Oh, it's not done yet. Just framework.

Okay, don't worry about it. These things can go on. They'll be 50, 100 pages, whatever it is. They'll work out the details, but the framework's agreed on. They're going to pick on that.

Quick thing on Japan. Evidently, we're telling Japan, Japan's like, we want zero. Tariffs on our cars, and we said no. You got to make them here. And that's what really stopped it.

They make 500,000 that they sell in Japan to get here. They make 2.3 million here. They go, What about the 500,000? We said, no. I'm not going to do that to our big three.

I got to confess. Our big four with Tesla. I got to confession. I don't love that news because I have a 2006 beat-up Toyota 4Runner. Literally, it's dented.

It's got about 300,000 miles, and I'm worried it's going to die any day. And so, if I was going to replace that guy, I may have to pay a little bit more now. Tough. Come on, think about the country, Grandpa. I thought you were a patriotic guy.

Just don't worry about the border. There's more to life than just the border. I may have to buy an American patriot. When's the next time we see you on television? Outnumbered today at noon.

You're going to be the man? I'm going to be the man. All right. Well, I'll watch him at 12. Brian, kill me, Joe.

Keep it here. From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmead. So glad you're there. Brian Kilmead here, right at 48th and 6th in Midtown Manhattan, about 500,000 miles away.

Is Washington, D.C., where we're hearing details now of the first trade deal shot signed by President Trump and his British compatriot. They have framed it out, and they're talking in detail as much as they can right now with their trade rep talking. We had Howard Luttnick talk already. Robert O'Brien's coming up this hour. Josh Crash Hour is standing by to analyze.

And before we get to details, let's get to the big three. Number three. We think that there is a deal here that would reintegrate Iran into the global economy, that would be really good for the Iranian people, but would result in the complete cessation of any chance that they could get a nuclear weapon. Let's hope, JD, but I'm not optimistic. I just don't see it.

If EP Vance maps out a path for Iran to avoid war, They've never done the right thing, we'll see. Number two. They had drums and megaphones and whatnot. They were standing on tables. It's the same repetition as last year and most protesters and administration has apparently learned nothing.

Yes, apparently not. That is Columbia University anti-Semitic madness on the campus as Radical Storm and overwhelm security. Cops come four hours later. 80 are zip tied out of there, many of which are students. They all have to be suspended and then expelled.

I don't care if they're graduating in two weeks after what they did to that library, the way they harass people, and let alone their message that could cost the university $400 million, they do not get a degree. Number one. In addition, the UK will reduce or eliminate numerous non-tariff barriers that unfairly discriminated against American products. But this is now turning out, I think, really to be a great deal for both countries because it'll be really great for the UK also. Yeah, one deal is done.

The UK is officially signed on with the U.S. as the first revamp of our trade relationship begins. Remember, we have our Secretary of Treasury with... With a ton of credibility, just says 17 legitimate deals are moving very fast, and there's the first one. I'm excited about Saturday.

I think both countries have a lot at stake in Switzerland, U.S. and China, in order to make something more positive. And before we get to Josh, I just want to play a little from President Trump. He got into detail. We're talking about a change in relationship between the two countries when it comes to electronics, when it comes to seal, when it comes to cars especially, and when it comes to ag goods.

Here's President Trump on UK steel. Both countries have agreed that the economic security is national security, and we'll be working together as allies to ensure that we have a strong industrial base, appropriate export controls, and protections for key technologies and industries like steel. Steel is a big factor. Both countries will become stronger with steel and things necessary for military. You know, we used to build ships and other things literally at a level that nobody's ever seen.

And we haven't, we've eased up, and I would say that the UK certainly eased up, but now we're going to be uneasing both and we work together. We both need a lot of ships. China's building about 700. We're building five. Josh joins us now, Fox News Radio political analyst, editor-in-chief, Jewish insider.

Hey, Josh. Hey Brian, good to be with you. But your thoughts right now. The market seems happy. They went up from 20 points to 192 points.

Your sense? Yeah, look, this is what a lot of Speaking of the markets, a lot of folks on Wall Street, a lot of folks that are looking for these threats of tariffs to lead to negotiation, to lead to actually more fruitful trade between us and our allies. This is the first step. It sounds like there's some encouraging elements to this deal with the UK. It is one of our closest relationships, so this should be one of the easier countries to strike a trade deal with.

But if this can lead, this can build momentum, if this can lead to other productive conversations and deals with countries like Japan or Vietnam or other major trade partners, that is something I think Main Street and Wall Street would be looking very favorably upon.

So here's what they say. They say that. As details are released now, it said they include billions of dollars increased market access for American exports, including beef, ethanol, and other farm products, including a great deal for both countries. They both say that are the British guys talking now. The deal will be a significant win for both the United States and Britain.

Trump discussed the possibility of a trade deal with Britain in his first term. Remember that. I thought it was going to be a big win for the UK when Trump won over Hillary because Democrats did not want them to leave the EU. Trump did, but they never got the trade deal done. This is going to help them.

It's going to help really both sides. It is. I mean, the sign of a good trade deal is it's a win-win for both sides. There's interests on both sides, opening up markets for the U.S. and getting British products and helping their goods too into the United States as well.

So, you know, look, this is the kind of country that, you know, you're right, Brian, that there was a talk about a big, beautiful deal back in the first term and it never fully was done. This could be the beginning of that very promise. But I think more importantly, the prospect of other deals. Like, once you get one done, I think it makes it a lot easier for other allies, for other countries we're negotiating with, to build upon that momentum. And that would be something that the farmers in the Midwest are looking at, that business people in New York are looking at.

And I think the markets would be looking very favorably on that prospect.

So before I get your take on what's going to happen Saturday, how you think that's going to go, it says it's basically an icebreaker meeting in Switzerland. I asked Senator Tom Cotton what he thinks. First, he wanted to set the priority. Parameters cut 10. Ultimately, the worst actor in the world on trade is communist China.

For decades, they've been supporting their own companies with illegitimate means like state subsidies and giveaways and dumping products overseas in our market, while also attacking our companies, stealing their intellectual property, forcing them into joint ventures with Chinese companies that can then take all their technology.

So that's what he's looking to do. I mean, this is just the beginning. But China has been exposed this week, is really hurting manufacturing jobs. People are not getting paid. People are walking out.

People are upset about benefits. And I think that's pretty clear that they're hurting too. Yes, I think the bigger takeaway from this meeting with Chinese trade representative and Treasury Secretary Besant and Jameson Greer, our U.S. trade representative, is that China is backing down a little bit of their rhetoric in the past in the last few weeks. Saying we're not going to, we're not going to, we're not going to negotiate, right?

We're going to hold on and show how much more disciplined we are than the United States.

Well, they've blinked. I mean, that's pretty notable. They want to, I don't expect any huge developments out of these conversations, but I do think it may open up the prospect of de-escalating down the road, which I think is in both countries' interests. And then the question becomes: can you get a good deal? Can you actually deal with some of these unfair trading practices that the Chinese have engaged in?

But I think the bigger political takeaway is that China, after all the bluster of saying we're not going to talk to the United States, you're right, Brian. The factories in China were empty. I mean, they were having trouble exporting their goods. They were taking an immediate economic hit, and they couldn't, in good faith, continue to go on that course. And they had to open up their own diplomacy.

And the U.S. is also sort of backed down. Trump has backed down from some of his initial rhetoric.

So there is an opening here for negotiations. I don't expect the talks in Switzerland to lead the. You're talking about a relatively mid-level representative that the Chinese are sending. But I think it could lead to more and more productive talks in the future.

So we understand this. Lutnick indicated that one of the concessions given by the U.S. to Britain is to lower a 25% tariff on imports of chorus to 10%.

So that means the Rolls-Royce might be a little bit cheaper. I want you to hear Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister, just called. He's calling. He's on the phone.

So listen to this. Thank you, Mr. President, Donald. And this is a really fantastic, historic day in which we can announce. This deal between our two great countries.

And I think it's a real tribute to. the history that we have of working so closely together. Can I pay tribute, Donald, to your negotiating team as well, particularly Howard and Jamieson, who've done an incredible job, a very professional job and my team as well, two negotiating teams have worked at pace now for a number of weeks to bring in this deal today. Really important deal. This is going to boost trade between and across our countries.

It's going to not only protect jobs but create jobs.

So pretty cool. I mean, so far, win-win, good feeling as president gets set to go to the Middle East. Yeah, I mean, look, Trump is a master of just the theater of these events, too, having the British Prime Minister, who, by the way, like I think one of the more successful foreign leaders who came to visit the White House last month was Prime Minister Starmer, even though they're from different sort of political sides of the aisle. Starmer talked about inviting the president to visit the king and really, really was very, very praiseworthy of the president. And I think Trump returned the favor.

So not only is it no coincidence that there's a deal struck first with the UK, but this relationship, the Starmer-Trump relationship, has gotten off to quite good footing. And you could hear that from the comments by both leaders today. Yeah, and you know, the president's still working on it. I noticed the Treasury Secretary is not here. I did think it's, he does praise Lutnick and Jamison Greer, who's got his hands full.

My goodness. I mean, this guy's got to double or triple his staff because once he frames it out, they need people to get all the details out.

So it's going to be special. I got to get you on another area I know you're passionate about, and that's anti-Semitism on these schools. You got testimony on Capitol Hill for the non-Ivies and at the Ivy Leagues. Last week, we heard that Columbia dodged a bullet. They planned on having encampments back, despite that they've already gotten $400 million frozen because of anti-Semitism on the campus.

And they had to lay off about 200, about 180 different people from the campus to make ends meet. And then we find out about campus riots going on yesterday in the library.

So, I mean, this is absolutely out of control what we're witnessing here this summer. And here are some of the Columbia. Here's one of these Columbia students talking about what they saw at Cut 26. They had drums and megaphones and whatnot. They were standing on tables.

Public safety made an announcement that everyone in that room would be arrested if they didn't leave. It's the same repetition as last year and most protesters and administration has apparently learned nothing. They haven't. And I talked to one of the students yesterday. She was on the first floor.

And she's wearing a Jewish star. She said, Bring it on if you want. And they were screaming things for that Mahmoud Kahil. And they were screaming things for some slain, somebody who's evidently slain and over in Gaza and demanding divest you from the country. And they stayed there for hours.

And they hurt one of the guards and they just disrespected him entirely. And one thing they did I think was fantastic, Josh, they wouldn't let him leave until they gave their name and numbers.

So if they did leave, they're going to track them down. If you're Columbia, what happens to those students today?

Well, look, I've got to say that I think it's in large part because of the pressure from the Trump administration and cracking down on Columbia. That's sort of the stick that's really pushed Columbia's leadership back to be much more responsive. I will say, Claire Chipman, who's the new interim president, she was on the board. She's now leading the school. The encampment was cleared.

That didn't happen. That was a lot of worry that there could be continued threats to Jewish students. That was dealt with right away, and the people involved were punished. And now, it was pretty ugly yesterday in the library, but the president put out a videotape statement, put out a very thorough statement. Pledging arrests, penalties, expulsions of the people there who were students.

And got the she called the NYPD. If you remember, the former president didn't want to call in the NYPD. These people were being abused, harassed, assaulted, and yet the police weren't called in. Claire Shipman called in the NYPD the same day. Eventually took care of these these criminals, really, and that was that.

So it does seem like, I mean, it's kind of sad that it takes that degree of government pressure to get leaders to do the right thing, but it does look, at least, that Columbia is handling some of the worst cases of anti-Semitism a little more aggressively than they did throughout the year. A couple of things. Four hours before you call the cops. That's inexcusable. And they did call the cops, and that's one thing that the president got in trouble because the board got mad at the president for calling the cops last time when they had no choice to rip up those encampments.

But I want to bring it to Wendy Raymond. This embarrassment of a president for Haverford College brought no cards on her answer for her answers for this testimony and read off of them. This is supposed to be the president of a college because they got an F when it comes to rating them against anti-Semitism. Listen to this exchange with Elise Stefan. I cut 15.

Was there any disciplinary action? Taken against that group or those individuals? Those kinds of statements are. I'm not asking you if you're repugnant. I'm asking about the disciplinary action.

You were the one university president who failed to lay out if any disciplinary action has been taken, if any suspensions or expulsions.

So I am asking you, was there any disciplinary action taken? Disciplinary action can include expulsion. I'm not asking what it can include. I'm asking was it taken? Respectfully, Representative, I will not be talking about individual cases.

Respectfully, President of Haverford, many people have sat in this position who are no longer in the positions as President of Universities for their failure to answer straightforward questions. And she was reading off her cards to say that.

So Josh, what's your take? Yeah, so it's It's really interesting because the president of Haverford, you just heard, was sitting next to two other presidents at schools where anti-Semitism has been a big problem. But those other two presidents did talk about the discipline that they've sent to students who are disobeying campus rules. There's something about, I mean, Haverford's not an Ivy, but it's in that same kind of elite status. And there's something about the people that run the high-vs, that run these really uber-elite institutions.

That can't speak candidly and honestly and can't deal. Can't deal with basic issues of codes of conduct on their campuses. They can't deal with anti-Semitism. I will say, it seems like some of the schools in the South, public schools, generally have had better results in dealing with some of these issues. The most elite schools, the most expensive schools, you certainly have heard his way up there.

The leadership is just absolutely absent. And you could see that. That was one exchange. But if you watch that whole hearing, Brian, it was a lack of leadership. And you can see why these campuses have these issues.

Yeah, Josh Kaiser, thanks so much, Josh. Exciting times. We definitely need some clarity and a lot of reporting. Appreciate it. Thanks, Brian.

All right, we'll give you the latest on the President announcing details of his deal and what he expects on China with China on Saturday, and of course, his trip in the Middle East. He's taking questions from everyone. As usual, Brian Kilmeat Show. Newsmakers and newsbreakers, here at first on the Brian Kilmeat Show. Breaking news, unique opinions.

Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. By the way, we have many. meetings planned today and tomorrow and every country wants to be making deals. And we have a meeting, as you know, Scott will be going over to Switzerland on Saturday and that'll be very, very interesting. We'll find out, but I think they want to make a deal very badly too.

Yeah, I mean, there's press now meeting with the President of the United States every announce a UK deal. Starmer has weighed in.

So it's done, it's framed out. And people might poke holes in it. But you know what? The thing is, the president's already shown I don't need a knockout. I want both sides to benefit.

One was the decrease in tariffs when it comes to 25% to 10% when it comes to cars.

So he shows some give. He added this: well, one of the things is Rolls-Royce. And we don't mind knocking it down to 10 because they don't make that much. It's not like they're going to flood our market with Rolls-Royce. It's kind of an elite card and it's impossible to make here.

You really can't pick up Rolls-Royce with the intricacies and come here. It's going to take years, and that's the hallmark of that country.

So it shows a reasonableness that I think is pretty cool. And I would not doubt when the president starts getting feedback on this. I don't know what day he's actually leaving for the Middle East. But when he starts getting feedback on this and see what the market does with the deal, which is now up 400 points today, I mean, it's got, no one's talking about this. I think 10 of the last 11 days or 12 of the last 13 days, the market's been up at a record level to the point where CNN takes it down.

That's how you know it's going up.

So it's going up. We don't take it down when it goes down. I think because people have money, whether you're losing it or not, people want to know what's happening with their money. I think fundamentally, almost to anything over their health, under, you know, after their health.

So after this, The president sees how the market reacts and sees the framework and the good feelings. I think he likes that. I mean, he likes butting heads, but he also likes resolving problems. Coming up next, Robert O'Brien is going to talk about the challenges that they'll face overseas, what our people are going to face dealing directly with Iran, what the vice president said yesterday, and the frustration we all feel with Russia. The fastest three hours in radio.

You're with Brian Kilmead. And I'd much rather make a deal, a really verified deal. We want total verification. We can do that. We have some very brilliant people up at MIT and various other places.

We can do that very, very solidly. But I would much prefer a strong verified deal where we actually blow them up But uh blow 'em up or or just denuke 'em? But the other alter there are only two alternatives, they're blow 'em up nicely or blow 'em up viciously. So that is President of the United States, who in this case said, you know, we have to get rid of that nuclear program. I hope he does not allow any enrichment.

I think that's key. Seven years from when he blew up and tore up the JCOP, the thing that John Kerry wrote, Barack Obama signed off on and nobody liked except the Iranians. Robert O'Brien, who joins us now, he was part of that decision, former National Security Advisor for President Trump. Robert, welcome back.

Okay, great to be with you, Brian. Thank you. First off, your thought about what the President said about where we're at with the Iranian negotiations. J.D. Vance was much more positive, but the President said really it comes down to that choice.

And that choice should be what, in your view?

Well, the President is absolutely right. He he put it bluntly, look, you're gonna lose your nuclear program one way or the other uh the other or you'll lose it. peacefully or you lose it with military force and I don't think the Iranians have been pushing American presidents around since 1979. They've never faced a president like President Trump. And he's been brilliant.

He's gotten a lot of criticism from negotiating with the Iranians, but he's made his position very clear. Negotiate and give up your program. Finally, once and for all, not a fake deal like JCPOA. or you're gonna lose it. I I mean take it from you volunt voluntarily.

And so It's put them in a it's put the Iranians in a very difficult situation. And so they're still having talks about this. They don't want to dismantle their program, but they have to. We know this whole thing from Iraq. If they're allowed to have any pipe or program with monitors, as soon as something happens controversial, they don't like where our ships go, they don't like a policy, they don't like something Israel does, they kick out the weapons inspectors, and then we try to get back in there.

We can't go through that again. No, it's all about your you're one hundred percent right, Brian. It's it's this idea of negotiations for negotiations. We'll give them something just to get them to come to the table. I think those days are over with Iran.

And I think part of the problem is, Brian, they threatened the life of the President of the United States and his family. They threatened to kill President Trump and his family multiple times on Twitter, in videos. These are nice people. President Trump is very realistic. He knows that.

And he he's either going to get the right deal with Witkop at the table and they'll they'll dismantle the program with with real inspections and and real dismantling. Or he'll turn the B you know, with the open source intelligence is that the six B two bombers. On Diego Garcia. Those pack a huge punch. Those aren't those on F eighteens with a couple of bums on them.

those are massive global prompt strike vehicles and platforms and the he's gonna either either take 'em out or he's they're gonna get it up. And for the Iranians, it's a tough decision because they've never faced anything like this before.

Well, wha how do you think they're interpreting this statement from the Vice President, Cut 28? We think that there is a deal here that would reintegrate Iran into the global economy, that would be really good for the Iranian people, but would result in the complete cessation of any chance that they could get a nuclear weapon. And that's what we're negotiating towards. And as the President has said, that's option A. And option B, if option A is very good for the Iranian people and even some of the folks, the leadership in Iran, option B is very bad.

It's very bad for everybody, and it's not what we want, but it's better than option C, which is Iran getting a nuclear weapon. As you know, there's a huge contingent of the Conservative Party now, the Republican Party now, that thinks that Iran's not nearly as bad as we say, and Russia really has a stronger case than they've been given, and that they should be given more leeway. I think both things are wrong. I think that Russia is the problem. We're beginning to realize that.

And when Iran walks away and starts putting her wrenches in this process, they're going to feel the same frustration. What about you? No, I I agree, Brian.

Well, th th those are people that don't understand Donald Trump. He he'd always liked to have the peaceful m you know path taken. that, you know, and he did that with Putin. He he gave Putin a lot of uh you know Leeway in the negotiations. He said that Ukraine wouldn't be part of NATO.

He's recognized Crimea as part of Russia. But Putin is now walking away from that. And when you walk away from the table with Donald Trump, that's not a good place to be. And so the Russians had a really good deal offered to them. They walked away from it, at least so far.

We'll see if they come back to the table. And the Iranians are getting ready to walk away from a deal because When J.D. Band said the deal will be good for the Iranian people, The regime doesn't want things that are good for the Iranian people. If the Iranian people get wealthy, if they start making money, If they get get integrated into the world economy and they're traveling and they see what they're missing out on, you know, overseas when they come back to Iran and see this Theocratic police state, that's not going to be good for the regime, and the re you know, the regime knows that. Trump is a genius of putting people in a very difficult position, holding out the hand of peace.

But no th these guys know that the hand of pieces uh uh the affected dictators' regimes. in Russia and in Iran. And so they may end up getting a war that no one wants, but that America will win if we have to go.

So obviously, we know the president's going to the Middle East, and he's going to go to Qatar. He's going to go to Qatar. He's going to go to Saudi Arabia and UAE. Those are the Gulf states. I mean, they're pretty much dug in against Iran.

That's not a mistake, correct? There's symbolism there. Those are frontline states that, you know, you think about the Abraham Accords, which was a great achievement of the President Trump. Although Qatar is not anti-Iran, I should say.

Well, look, Cutter is in a difficult situation. They're a very small country, two hundred thousand people right across the the uh Gulf of Arabia from from uh Iran.

So they're they're in a tough position. the the American Air Force to defend them.

So they they they play kinda, you know, a little more down the middle, but uh The UAE, Saudi, they they understand the true nature of the Iranians. And I I I think the Qataris do as well, but they just need American support. But look, th th that's the front line of a against the Islamic Republic of Iran. And he's going there, he's trying support for them, and then that'll bolster their ability to. To fight back against the Iranians as well.

Robert O'Brien, our guest.

So, Robert, you know what the Israelis are doing? The IDF has called up their reserves. They're going to go into Gaza now. They're going to clear and hold, clear and hold, and they're going to take more and more land back the longer they wait to give back the hostages. And they're going to try to find a way to get some aid into there for the Palestinians some Palestinian people that are not Hamas.

This is a very aggressive move, but I don't think the Israelis have a choice. They don't have a choice, and I've been saying this from the very start, the only option for the hostages is a military rescue. or to put so much pressure on Hamas, they understand that they have to let the hostages go. And unfortunately, they've the Hamas has played the Israeli public the sympathy of the which we all have for the Hausus. I mean, these people are in terrible conditions living in tunnels like rats and.

and being treated very, very badly, sexually assaulted and abused and and starved It's a terrible thing. The Israelis are rightly sympathetic to the hostages and want them home. We we we've tried now the the peaceful route for, you know, o over a year. to get those houses at home, the losses holding them because they they know they've got leverage. And so it's now time for the Israelis to to institute a military plan that'll that'll go home a different way.

Lastly. Uh we found out that China has built up uh basically Cuba and made it basically a spy on uh outpost for them. we wouldn't allow the Soviets to have missiles there, but we've allowed Chinese to get a foothold there ninety miles from Miami. What are our options of fixing that and getting them out?

Well, the options are to continue the pressure on on Cuba, certainly. And and look, I wrote an op-ed for Fox, Brian, you know, which is we we've got to take Venezuela out of the equation.

So Maduro is a bad guy, but he I think Maduro is willing to get to King the Iranians and the Chinese and the Russians who are all in Venezuela. I think he'd be willing to kick him out if he could get a deal with the U. S. on oil. And so 'Cause I think about it, you know Maybe doing a deal with the devil or with Naduro.

which would be good for American oil independence, getting a million barrels of uh Venezuelan oil, a day to to America. Helping our energy dominance and then cutting off the Cubans from any support from Venezuela. I think that might help the Cubans come to come to G's, so so to speak, in Reconsider their alliance with the Chinese. You think it's Cuba's choice at this point? You think if they told the Chinese to go, they'd actually go?

I mean, that that their country's been held together by like chewing gum and and donkeys. Yeah, no, it's just it's duct tape and bailey mire for sure. It's uh And they they they've done a good job of it, at least in restoring the old cars, the old American cars that uh they've got driving around Havana. But I I think he was coming to the end of his rope uh very soon. But they they found a lifeline with the Chinese.

I'm sure the Chinese are paying him good money for the spy the old Russian spy stations. All right, Robert O'Brien, thanks so much. We'll see what happens. A lot at stake. Great to meet you, Brian.

You got it. You got it. When we come back, we'll take some calls. Also, give you the latest president as usual. Widespread questions from all walks of life.

And to CNN's credit, they're taking it. Oh, excuse me, they were taking, they just went to commercial. MSNBC went to some commentary and went off to a truth social post where the president ripped Jerome Powell. What could be better than listening to the president take questions from almost every member of the press right now? I mean, you'd rather have some commentator come on and say how bad Trump is rather than hear from President Trump.

Are you a news network or not? Don't move. Breaking news. The latest headlines. Exciting commentary.

People are aroused. I haven't seen people so aroused in a very, very long time. It's Brian Kilmead. The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead.

Sponsored by Previgen. Previgion made for your brain. I would say our country should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country. We should be profiling, monitoring and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men.

So I strongly disagree with Ilan Omar too in her just on a substantive level. I think that white Americans have done enormous things for our freedom. I mean, who were the people who scaled the cliffs of Normandy? Many of them were white men. And it's not just I disagree politically.

I disagree substantively. This is a great country. It is a kind country. It is a decent country. It is a country that has allowed an Indian American son of immigrants of Hindu faith to go represent the most economically prosperous place in the world.

That would not be possible anywhere else. That is the most ungrateful woman in America, Elon Omar, whose daughter is an embarrassment to any other family except hers by being an activist at Columbia, making comments about white men being the problem. The problem is she doesn't even probably know About Normandy. I'm sure she has no idea about our history. The woman's from Somalia, comes over here, ungrateful, runs for office, and just ridicules America, tries to be anti-whatever our foreign policy dictates.

Here's Susan Page. And by the way, Rokana, 100% on the money. He wants to run for president, by the way, no question. And, you know, sometimes he's reasonable, sometimes I find him really disappointing, but I always find him smart and interesting. Here's Susan Page.

Cut 41 on what's wrong with the Democratic Party, and you just heard it. The left is not in total control of the Democratic Party. No one is in control of the Democratic Party. There is the left of the party that has wants to go in the direction that Sanders is outlining, but that isn't everybody. And I think there is no consensus, at least yet, among Democrats about what it is they need to do to make the big gains they hope to make in the midterm.

So that is Susan Page of USA Today. There's no one in charge.

So, you know, the only thing they're doing, they're going after their only moderate, Senator Fetterman. They said he basically lost his mind and is mean to people. I just see Selena Zito says, I've interviewed John Fetterman. He said the only time I was critical of him was after his stroke. I just didn't think he was ready.

But now he's fine. It seems like people have a problem with him because he's being moderate. Those to the left, you just saw Rocana just call out those to the left. I appreciate him doing that. Most people don't.

It's a little odd. And now you have Joe Biden's comeback tour talking to the BBC, kind of whispering his way through it. And I just listened to one clip from The View, and he said that he would have beaten Joe Biden because, excuse me, he would have beaten Donald Trump because remember, he got 7 million fewer voters than Joe Biden got in 2020. There's a lot to be said about those 2020 voters. I think he did win the last election, but the amount of votes that he got has exceeded anything Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, or Bill Clinton.

It only got 40%, didn't even get 50% of the vote, but ever got, and this guy's not nearly as popular as a compromised candidate. I think he would have done worse than Kamala Harris. Lost every battleground state on down, but he's under the belief that he would have won. I mean, you got to be kidding me. The guy can't even walk.

He can't talk. He still thinks he would have won. Here's Britt Hume on what he's seen so far: cut 38. It's a reminder of just how enfeebled Biden had become well before he left office. And I can't believe that anybody, any sentient person, the sentient person in the Democratic Party is wanting Joe Biden to be back out there talking and seeming as decrepit as he seems.

And, you know, whatever you think about President Trump, uh com he's he is benefits from a comparison to Biden because, you know, whatever you think about what President Trump is saying or doing, he is by far a more commanding presence, which I think is what people want in a President. Right. There's one thing about Trump. He's in command. You can make up some ridiculous thing that he's not, or you don't like his decisions.

You can't say he doesn't make his decisions. Picked everybody, inside and out.

So uh today you have Joe Biden going on the view. Getting this totally wrong. Here's Sonny Hostin. She says this: Mr. President, some have argued that you, after that leaving the race and endorsing your vice president, A hundred or a hundred days before the election, before our campaign, what do you say you should have got out sooner?

And he says, I say, number one, That there were six full months. Nearly doubling the amount of time he actually provided the former primary running mate. It was three months. She says six months. He goes, she was in on every decision I made, every decision we made.

And I don't think, I hope I don't sound doesn't sound wrong. I don't think anybody thought we'd be as successful as we were. I don't think anybody thought we'd pass the Recovery Act. I don't think anyone thought we'd have a deal with chips and science. I don't think anyone thinks we will have done close race.

I'm just reading exactly. This is not the way I speak. It's the way he thinks. What he said. Think about it.

We got more major legislation passed fundamentally to change the direction of the country than any president has in a long time. All right. Let's say you did all that. It was spending out of control. Our deficit's never been greater.

Most of the money that you spent on the Recovery Act has not been spent. You have not hooked up with rural America. You have altogether 60 power stations done in four years to supposedly fuel electric cars while vilifying the only electric car maker. And America saw what you did and they hated it. You were remarkably unpopular.

Your foreign policy was awful. Wars were starting everywhere. The economy was good for you. It wasn't good for everybody. Trump is out there still trying to tame the inflation that you found transitory.

I didn't think he'd be defending himself. I guess it's natural for a president to want to defend themselves, but you should be somewhat accurate. Uh and you know he's Basically, the more he talks, the more he's going to sell books about people who write these books that say he wasn't really in charge.

So I find it pretty unbelievable. All right, there's a bunch of things that we're juggling. Whether it is new trade deals coming down the pike, whether it's previewing the President's overseas trip, whether it's previewing the China deal that could be coming, or whether it's talking about, I don't know, the President already made a switch. For some reason, Dr. Neshawat is out as Surgeon General candidate, and it looks like.

Kali means Uh Callie Means is going to be the Surgeon General, who seems to be a fine doctor, great person, wrote that great book. But I just don't know why Neshuad is not there.
