How you doing, buddy? Good. First off, the breakfast, I don't have many details. I'm doing the show simultaneously, but it looks like Mom Donnie was in DC to try to win over some Democrats. But yet he doesn't back off of any of his statements and beliefs except for globalize intifada, which he says that he likes the idea but won't use the term.
Is this guy just an isolated challenge for Democrats, or does it a symptom of something bigger? I think it's a symptom of something bigger It's going to be an extreme example of the drift of the Democratic Party over the last several decades. They have moved they have moved left. It's arguable that the Republican Party has moved right, but the Democratic Party has moved farther left than the Republican Party has right. And uh now we have this n this uh likely uh and winner of the Mayoral Race in New York.
Whose views are simply way out of step with the majority of Americans. But there's other disciples. For example, there's a socialist running for the vacant seat in Michigan. There's another run for Congress in Minnesota. There's another one that ran for the vacant seat in Arizona, wasn't successful.
But you see this bubbling up, and it reminds me of David Hogg, the now ousted deputy chief of the DNC. Yeah, I can understand that, Brian. I think What we're seeing here with this is there's a lot of there are certain bad ideas that won't go away. And socialism and communism are bad ideas. They don't work.
They cause no end of trouble and sorrow in the world. And yet, there are still people who adhere to them and think that they've never been properly tried. I guess so.
So we'll see what happens. They're trying to win over some people, but don't you think it's definitely An important point that Schumer, Jeffries, Governor Hochl. Any type of leadership, Dan Goldman, Jewish Democrat from New York. No one's endorsed this guy. I mean, what are they going to do?
He's likely to become the mayor. I mean, we've seen a lot of different things over the last 20 years, but do you see momentum getting behind a disgraced Cuomo or a rehab Derek Adams?
Well it's remarkable what people will do when, you know, the only alternative is is somebody you like almost as little as you like the one you're trying to beat. And in this case, um A lot of people look at this race and they say, Well As bad as Andrew Cuomo is, or as weak as Eric Adams is, I'd rather have him than this guy. Here's what President Trump said, cut six. I think this, if the three people would combine into one, they would easily win. I don't know if they're smart enough to do that.
But if you break up the vote, you know, it's going to be, I think, virtually impossible. It's actually very dangerous. The good news is I can control it from Washington because we're the ones that issue the money. And if we see somebody's destroying the city, we're not going to let that happen. He really can't control it from Washington.
He could do some stuff, but to have a constant battle in New York. It's just very interesting because these business leaders don't want any part of it. But Britt, I like to talk about what's happening with the divide in the in the Republican Party. How would you characterize what's happening with this brewing situation with Epstein and how certain elements of the Republican Party, the MAGA movement, won't let it go, and the President wants to give it to Heisman? I I my view of that is that that the Most remarkable thing about the about the uh about that story is is How unserious it is.
I mean, it's it This is the story, the Epstein story. Yeah. remarkably inconsequential. It you know, we we're in a situation where across the world are Trouble spots. Uh war is Yeah.
Some of them won, some of them trouble. Um We got major major policy enactments at home. We've got worries about the economy, we've got all of this And we got some guy who didn't matter much when he was alive and now he's been dead for what, six years now. and people are still talking about him. I agree.
And I agree with you, Britt. And Martha McCallum and I were talking about this yesterday, and I am name-dropping to impress you. And we're basically the only three. Oh, everybody else is like, wow, this is a bigger deal. You don't really understand.
My thing is, I watched Stan Bongino sit on a couch and say he killed himself, and there is no list. And then I watched. Cash Patel says the same thing. And this leading journalist in Miami that blew up the whole story was on another channel yesterday, and I'm watching it. And she said, there is no list.
There was a log book. Of phone numbers that this guy had, but there was no list.
So at one point, do you think that this is all about clicks for people that make their living in social media?
Well it is To some extent, Brian. Look, I think the way to look at it is this.
So before they got into office, Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi, and to a lesser extent, Cash Patel. We're making hay on this question and talking about Now they were suspicious, they didn't believe the official story. That he killed himself, there's got to be more to it, and his client list is being protected. And I think that they earnestly believed that there was a client list. and probably much more to it.
Then they got into office and had access to the material. and they wouldn't find anything.
Now It's a very embarrassing situation for them. having made such a to-do about it before they got into office, Uh to find when they got there that there wasn't anything to it.
So, what makes sense to me is that the reason they're saying they're right in. To it is there isn't anything to it because of the people who were involved were so out on a limit. about this. that it makes no sense at They would cover it up. And once they got into power, having been screaming about a cover-up, uh before they got into power.
So m my feeling about this is Um It just isn't plausible. that those three Uh, would lie now about what they found. It just is not plausible. Hi, everyone. It's Brian Kilmead here.

And I'll tell you personally, Dan Bongino said to me off camera what he said on camera, Oh, yeah, he killed himself and I found out. There's just no question. You know what it's like when someone's body language and you know them for a while, they just say, Brian, there's nothing there. And I just say, okay, case closed. Because I wasn't really following the case that close either.
But you know who feels like we do? President Trump. President Trump does not get it.
Well, he hates this story, and with good reason. because it's an unimportant story It's embarrassing to him that he's got these people working for him who climbed out on this limb. and the limb has now been sought off by Reality.
So I think, you know, I'm sure he'd like to go away, and I don't blame him. I mean, he makes the same point that I've been making, which is this thing doesn't matter. It doesn't matter in any large scheme of things that you can imagine. deep state cover up the That implicates all kinds of important people, and that even people who were. most suspicious.
Or now. involved in the cover-up. I'm sorry, I don't buy it.
So, Britt, I just can't wait to get your opinion on this. I mean, when I differ from the president, I think Ukraine are the good guys, and I thought it's worth giving them everything they need to be successful. President Trump didn't run on that. And I always thought that Iran can't be dealt with, and we have to take out that nuclear program on their own. President said, no Middle East wars.
But he gets behind the resolute desk. He looks at options. He has five rounds of talks, and he goes, I'm going to have to take out this. I'm going to have to take out the nuclear program myself. And then, after trying to deal with Vladimir Putin, he said I'd end it in a day.
He goes, not the same guy. I'm going to give them patriots. I'm working with NATO to get them more weapons. To me, that's great leadership. To certain elements of the party, it's a letdown.
He's not doing what he said. How do you view it? I view it as you do, Brian. I think that it's a cause that should be supported. And and and it and you know, Vladimir Putin made, in my judgment, Uh um terrible blunder when he went charging into Ukraine in the belief that he could have Ukraine in a matter of days.
It didn't work out. The Ukrainians have turned out to be vastly more resilient than he ever imagined. They've been very brave. as the president has now I think that's a good idea. The only way this can work out for him is if he just uh attack civilians Uh And and simply bludgeons his way through this war.
which I don't think he can do Yes. Ukraine is properly supported by the United States and its allies. Putin needs to be Mm. For his mistake. Um, it if it works out for him, That's bad news.
for everybody else. in my view. And we don't want another example of the United States pulling the plug Order an ally. Yeah. uh and having the bad guys win and having the signal that that would be s that would send to Beijing and elsewhere.
that the United States is weak and won't fight. Or won't at least support Allies who are fighting.
So, the president said, I'm going to give him 50 days. I might go less than 50 days. But I also thought it was interesting that Lavrob was asked about the change in tone by the president. He's a longtime serving foreign minister, CUT 29. It used to be 24 hours and it was 100 days.
We've all been through this. We already have an unprecedented number of sanctions declared against us. And we are coping. I have no doubt that we will cope. But here's the difference: we're going to hit the people that are buying their cheap oil and gas, and that's Brazil, India, and China.
That's the difference. Yeah, that's a big difference. Um No, it wouldn't. Major disruptions. in the world It might even lead to increases in the prices of fuel, gasoline and the rest.
Um, but it would punish the hell out of Russia. And I think that's you know, that's and I think the President look, I think the President really wants to make peace in the world. And I think he thought I think he was fooled. By Putin Khan. Um played.
And to believing. that Putin wanted peace. Putin doesn't want peace. Putin wants victory. Triumph, conquest.
And the President is now in a place he did not want to be. He didn't want to he didn't want to escalate this war. Um with weapons and sanctions. He didn't want to do that. And he thought and he thought Putin was somebody he could count on and do business with.
And that turns out not to be true. and it calls for a different policy and I think he's so far shown that he's willing to make a change. It's no guarantee it's going to work out. It isn't going to be easy. Putin is as evil as they come and and utterly determined.
Absolutely. And lastly, Ken Langone was not for President Trump for the second term. And he is one of the most successful businessmen in the country and one of the greatest guys you're going to meet. He's former the co-founder of Home Depot. But he's been watching what's happened over the last six months.
And I just want to share you this: this is what he said on CNBC. Let's listen. I am sold on Trump. In fact, I'll say this. I think he's got a good shot at going down in history as one of our best presidents ever.
That is a real turnaround because you didn't want to vote for him. I told you the reason. I want to tell you, I'm a believer. What I'm seeing happening is absolutely nothing short of a great thing. People are walking with more bounce.
It's all around. Knowledge implies one thing. When you made a mistake, admit it. One of the pilots on that miraculous trip to Iran that we wiped out, whatever the hell we wiped out, he said, you're the only guy that... in the presidency that would have done what you did.
One of the pilots said that. And you know what? He's probably right.
So from reporter Britt Yume to analyst Britt Yume. Do you do you understand where Ken Lang going is coming from? I absolutely do, Brian. I am rooting for this president to succeed. Yeah.
He's got a lot of irons in the fire. Uh and he's not and he seems prepared at any given moment to add more. Uh he's got a lot up in the air. Um so the question arises, you know, how will this stuff all end up? And that will determine whether the the the idea that he could be that go down as a great president But I hope it does.
And I hope it works out because he's doing a lot of things that need doing. And I love the fact that he loves the country, going to celebrate our past.
So year 250 will be like 1976 and not 1619. It'll be a celebration of America this next year. Britt, thanks so much. I appreciate it. Always good to talk to you, Brian.
