Always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kelmead. Hi, everyone.

So glad you're there. What a week we've had. It's been busy. I know in the middle of the summer, but nothing's slowing down. We're going to have our great intern, Emily Worthmore, on at the bottom of the hour to tell us what's really like behind the scenes because I have no idea.

And Mark Penn is the CEO and chairman of Stagwell Group. He is going to be with us in a matter of moments as we know the president of the United States is going to be heading to Scotland. He's going to visit his properties and talk a little UK trade deal. I also think it's interesting that Mike Waltz got some good news. His nomination for UN Ambassador clears committee.

Just get this guy in and give him a floor vote because he's got important work to do here with the United Nations now marking 80 years.

So let's get to the big three. Number three. Can I ask you something a tough question? You can't tell because they win a suit, but who's got a bigger upper body near you? I don't know.

You got that suit on. You look like you're going to take your shirt off again, bro. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, we're up against the brakes, team. Yep, that was me and Hulk Hogan, one of his many appearances at Fox with us.

He's been on this radio show, too. Sadly, he passed away at 71. Why does he matter so much to so many? We're going to take a look at it. Number two.

I think we're having a very good transcribed interview. Mr. Klain's being fairly responsive to our questions. There have been tidbits. We've asked specific questions, obviously.

Evidence emerges on a daily basis that would suggest Joe Biden wasn't mentally fit. There you go, James Comer weighing in. Surprisingly, Ron Klain speaks and answers questions. He's the former chief of staff for Joe Biden, and he said what he saw about Joe Biden diminishing, failing. He also said Jake Sullivan and Hillary Clinton knew it too.

They deny it. It makes you wonder why the others were not speaking at all, why they took the fifth, and is there pressure on the others coming down the pike to do what Klain did? Number one. I just want to see one thing happen. Very simple.

Interest rates have to come down. If the interest rates don't come down, we're knocking it out of the park with high interest rates. If interest rates come down, then that final little element kicks in. That is all the president wants now. He can do the other stuff himself, fighting the Fed to his face.

Donald Trump and Jay Powell really brawl it out in front of the cameras in a very, I guess, white-collar way. But what Trump does is like to bring all these issues front and center. I think it's respect to the American people more than it is the press. But he's upset with Powell. He's upset with the spending overruns as they rebuild the Fed.

He surprised him with the price tag that he thinks that the building is costing the American people. And he really doesn't like the job he's doing. He thinks he's way too slow. And he thinks it perhaps is personal because he keeps bringing up the uncertainty that comes with Trump's tariffs. The reason why he hesitates on bringing down rates.

That To me, it sounds political because Trump is the tariff machine. To cite the tariffs as the reason while inflation stays steady, I think makes it look political. We can't get inside Jay Powell's head. Mark Penn, CEO and chairman of Stagwell Group, joins us now. Mark, welcome back.

Thank you. Good morning. Mark, it's pretty remarkable. We're getting kind of used to it. But the UK president comes in, they have a disagreement, they fight it out in front of us.

We see with Jay Powell yesterday the exchange between the two, obvious disagreements. We're not used to seeing this front and center. Yeah, I'll agree. I used to say there's nothing President Clinton didn't say behind closed doors. President Trump says in front of them.

It's just, I actually think it's respect towards us.

So, the one thing he does, he's haranguing the Fed to lower rates, and eventually they will. I want people at home to hear this exchange. They're walking in hard hats, although they didn't give one to Tim Scott, maybe they were out, walking through hard hats through the restructure, the construction zone, cut one.

So, we're taking a look and. It looks like it's about 3.1 billion. It went up a little bit. Yeah. Uh so the 2.7 is now 3.1.

I'm not aware of that. Yeah, I I haven't heard that from anybody. Yeah, it just came out. I don't know who does that. You're including the Martin renovation.

You just added in a third building, is what that is. That's a third building.

Well, yeah, but it's a building that's being built.

So, if you're Jay Powell, you're not used to this. You're used to the economics accounting world, the academic world.

Well, look, you're not used to the president coming front and center. I mean, I thought it was a brilliant play that he didn't, you know, he says the interest rates. We say, well, let's take a look at how you're doing on the spending of the building.

Now, you know, two and a half to three billion dollars for a building. I mean, is there a golf course in the building? I mean, what the heck is in that building, you know, that other than some conference rooms here?

So I do think he points out that, well, what's going on with the Fed? I thought that was brilliant. And look, I think he's right. He knows that interest rates coming down a bit will reduce the interest payments on the debt, will free up investment in the economy for business. And that the economy is ready for that because inflation has been constant when you look at the numbers that the Biden campaign, the Biden, I guess the DNC managed to put on X for a short period before they realized they had to take them down.

So you got three things going on right now. The Epstein investigation. You have the Obama administration investigation. And you have the Joe Biden wasn't mentally there investigation. What's most important do you think?

Because personally, I really think it's the economic issues, the trade deals, love them or hate them, the things that Trump is doing economically will really affect people's lives. But what are your thoughts when you see these three major investigations dominating various networks?

Well, yes, I don't think that they're doing the President any particularly good. I mean, everybody knows that Biden was fading. I really do feel strongly about what happened with Russia, Russia, Russia, that it was a hoax. I had always said so from the very beginning. But I don't know that it serves the President right now, and the Epstein files is yet another diversion.

The main story and the main events here is that the big, beautiful bill contained a lot of good stuff for people if you got the message out about it. And the economy is generally, everybody acknowledges, is improving. And what I'd call the tariff scare that was perpetuated by the media, and I've always pointed out here that we only import about 10%.

So you put a tariff. On 10%, and it's only about 1% of the economy. It's a much smaller feature than people, I think, recognized, and I think that's becoming much clearer now that the economic numbers are pretty good.

So today, they have the fourth annual Voters for Tomorrow Summit, where Democrats come in and try to inspire young people to get behind their party. And amongst the people that are going to be speaking, Kamoa Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Jamie Raskin, and the outcast David Hogg, who was told to leave the Democratic National Committee. What is the message, and what should the message be to future Democrats or skeptical Democrats?

Well, I I think right now that the Democratic Party doesn't have a clear message. It was defeated in all three branches.

So it's not surprising that that's the case. Parties get in the wilderness sometimes for a long period of time. Republicans were there for a long period of time. I think the big fight within the party is anti-Semitism and socialism. are we is the Democratic Party going to allow those two elements to become a mainstream part of the party?

Or are they going to throw them out? And if they don't throw them out, I don't see how it goes back to a party that is going to be a serious electoral threat. Also, just a couple of things. It seems like the AOCs of the world, the squad, the left-wingers, the socialists, are getting the money. Forget the end the attention, but they're also getting the money.

I think she raised $15 million. And the moderates, I don't know who you would include in that. I guess maybe Governor Whitmer might be considered a moderate. I guess Westmore could be considered a moderate. But they don't seem to be getting a lot of heat.

Do you think they're biding their time or do you think the media is ignoring them? Look, I think that this online capability favors you know, it extremes and gives them the ability to kind of get their message and you know, smile their way through through socialism. But look, I think Josh Shapiro yesterday came out quite strongly and said, look, we don't really accept people who won't condemn, you know, globalized the intifada. That that's that's about murdering Jews and and any Democrat should openly condemn any phrase like that. And I think he then struck a moderate chord.

I think that was great. I want you to hear, too, Hunter Biden dominates the headlines this week, decides to just rant and rave against other Democrats. Here's a sample of people you know. Me and James Carville, who hasn't run a race in forty f ⁇ ing years, and David Axelrod, who had one success in his political life, and that was Barack Obama. And that was because of Barack Obama, not because of f ⁇ ing David Axelrod.

And David Plough, and all of these guys, and the Pod Save America guys, who were junior fing speech writers in on Barack Obama's Senate staff, who have been dining out on the on the relationship with him for years, making millions of dollars. Wow. Lighting up everybody. You also went out to George Clooney, basically an overrated actor who has got no business speaking his mind. What what is your take?

And do you believe he's speaking for Hunter or do you think he's speaking for the family? Look, I think, A, he is out there fighting for his family and for his father, but he does make my stomach churn. come on. He you know, he he got his his Dead brothers. Wife.

both in bed and into drugs. I mean, and and he had a shakedown operation of, you know, against shady foreign interest for like twenty million dollars or more. Right. And and and and I notice in the New York Times story, it doesn't even mention any of that, you know, in in the story as though as though he wasn't really running what what any reasonable person would conclude at best a shakedown operation on behalf of his Dad and his family, since he had no skills.

So I I just find it's incredible that any that he's given a stage, to be honest. A couple of things. It's really hard to put down as a Democrat Axelrod in Carville. What do you want Carville to do? Go elect another president?

That gets you to the top of your career. Number two is Axelrod is very well respected. And he also got Deval Patrick, I think, governor of Massachusetts twice.

So, I mean, I don't know. David Axelrod is paid to speak his mind as a commentator, as you are.

So, why does he not realize that? No, look, he's just he's just striking out pretty much at everybody. Would Joe Biden have, if he continued the campaign after that debate, ever have won? No, he would not have.

Now, you know, Harris didn't win. You know, Trump had an incredible comeback campaign. It was really an incredibly strong campaign with a message, with a mission. And I don't think that would have stopped that. But that doesn't stop the Biden family and Hunter Biden from believing that and attacking everybody who took him out.

When the real sin here was he never should have run in the first place. He said he wasn't going to run. He wasn't really up to it. Can you imagine if he was president now? Uh I've No, I couldn't because there'd be his entire staff running it while denying it and the press corps wouldn't be asking any legitimate questions because I don't think anything has changed, sadly.

Just back to the Democratic Party. They do an autopsy, but they say we're not going to focus on Biden, the decision not to run, what he did, or Kamala Harris, her selection, as well as her billion dollars spent and the loss of every battleground state. Mark, if you were hired to do, and by the way, they would be right to hire somebody like you, to do an autopsy of what the party did wrong in order to find out what they did right, would you leave out Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?

Well, look, the Democratic Party was off course. And Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were part of taking that party off course. The truth of the matter is that Donald Trump came in, won the working class. won really Hispanic voters for the for really the first time in history, I think he came in and converted them over to the Rep R Republican Party. But you can't look at the d at back what Biden was doing.

He wasn't a good president from Afghanistan on. People rejected what he stood for, what his leadership was. He had massive inflation that really hurt Americans in their pocketbooks. know, because he overspent and he didn't have appropriate fiscal policy. You know, there were real problems beyond, like, you know, was he dodgering and nouns or not.

The policies themselves made Americans feel they were worse off. Right. And I talked to Joe Manchin last weekend, and he said, that's not the Joe Biden I know. And he said, the reason they went left is Ron Klain. Ron Klain was listening to the squad and was perfectly comfortable bringing the country these extreme policies.

Lastly, where we started. You're concerned, like I am, that Mom Dani is going to win as mayor of New York City, yet Congresswoman Dingell, who fashions herself a moderate, has nothing but praise after meeting with him, cut 28. You know what? Donald Trump and he both get out and they talk to people and they listen to people and they understand how people feel. And he's using social media the way that Donald Trump has.

What I see is someone addressing cost of living issues, and I think if you were to run these Zoro and Mamdani commercials. Blind in front of self-identified conservatives, part of the MAGA base, I think they would find Mondami very, very appealing. Blind and with deaf, because it's what he says. I don't really care how he looks. What are your thoughts?

That was the second one was Democratic Congressman Mark Tucano of California. Yeah, I I frankly was rather surprised by Dingo's comments as well. Look. Mandami, you can run all the nice ads you want and all the TikTok videos you want. He's not a Democrat, he's a Democratic socialist.

Anybody can go onto the website of the Democratic Socialists. They stand for taking the means of production. They stand for extreme socialism.

So, say anything you want in a nice video. That's what he really stands for. And that's what people are really voting for if they vote for Mondami. Mark Penn, thanks so much. Appreciate it.

It's going to be an interesting time. This is a quiet before next year's storm. Thank you. Thank you, Brian. You got it.

Also, if you think for a second that President Trump is looking at the finish line, he kind of felt at the midterms in his first term that he stepped back too much and let the party try to win the House and Senate. This time, he is involved with everything, every battleground state, every tough county. And he also is even pushing Texas to redistrict in order to get more Republican seats out of that very red state. We'll talk about that when we get back. 1-866-408-7669.

We're also going to talk about the passing of Hulk Hogan at the age of 71. Stunning. And I think a real loss. What a personality. Back in a moment.

Politics, current events, and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say. Stay with Brian Kilmead. I'm Janice Deen. Join me every Sunday as I focus on stories of hope and people who are truly rays of sunshine in their community and across the world.

Listen and follow now at FoxnewsPodcast.com. A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. When I look out. and I see all the real Americans.

I think about How Donald Trump His family was compromised. When I look out there and I see Donald Trump, I think about how his business was compromised. But what happened last week? When Meddy took her shot Yeah, my hero. And they tried to kill.

the next president of the United States. Oh no! WAS ENOUGH!

So and what that was really referring to Was the fact that he'd been friends with him since the 80s, really good friends, and they used to go to wrestling and all these events, and Trump always loved athletes. And when he ran for president, he didn't endorse him. He just kept his mouth shut. And one of the reasons was because I got hoca mania, I got a brand, and I don't need to lose 50% of my audience. And when he said after he got shot, I go, I can't sit on the sidelines anymore.

I got to show some courage.

So I'm willing to lose 50% of my fans or maybe more because Trump is so polarizing. But he didn't care. And I don't think he had any regrets after doing it. And I know he didn't pay the price. In fact, I think he might have really helped because he rolls out this great American beer and literally he grinded it out through all 50 states to make personal calls to distributors and major manufacturers in order to get the best deal possible, make it in America, and then get it out.

And the Hulk was actually making phone calls for it. That was part of the reasons he ended up staying with the same guys and launching the real wrestling league that's going to be on Fox Nation.

So, um He doesn't have any regrets, and I think it's great for him that Trump knew how loyal he was in the end. Dead at 71. We'll talk about this throughout the Friday show. Listen to the Brian Kill Me Show. Don't move.

It is time to take the quiz. It's five questions in less than five minutes. We ask people on the streets of New York City to play along. Let's see how you do. Take the quiz every day at thequiz.box.

Then come back here to see how you did. Thank you for taking the quiz. A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmead. Enough was enough.

It has said. Let Trump Media run wild, brother. Let Trump Media rule again. Let Trumpomedia make America great again. And that had to be one of the high moments at RNC DNC of all last year, last summer.

Hulk Hogan decides to come out and really take everything over. Dana White was supposed to be the main speaker and he was good, but Hulk Hogan stole the night, in my opinion. With me right now is Emily Worthmore. Emily's been interning with us for the last few months. We've had a lot of interns.

She's amongst the best in the building. Great personal background, already been featured in a documentary in the middle of finishing up school next year.

So we want to give Emily some time. But you're passionate about politics, right? Yes. Your thought about the passing. He's 71 years old.

You're 20, but you knew who he was. He understood his impact. It's a tragedy. I mean, just watching him and the way he was able to speak, you know. Without even necessarily scripting anything, just moving speaker, and obviously had a huge impact on this past election campaign.

Does a big-time reality show and is a big hit and was coming back as an entrepreneur. But, Emily, tell us what got you here at Fox. Yeah, so I've been working in broadcast since I was in high school. I started at a Christian radio station in St. Louis and moved into politics.

I kind of work on a conservative format right now. And I was also in a documentary. It was an Apple TV documentary called Girls' State. And that followed me through the program Girls State, which is a program that every state has, and it's a mock politics program. And they made a documentary.

So that really helped propel my career, I think. All right.

So it was a documentary. It's available on Apple right now if I wanted it. Yes, I think you should watch it. And it's based on you as a student. Does it show you as a student at what school?

Yeah, so I was a student, and this is like a summer camp program, and it was hosted at Lindenwood, which at the time I did not know that's where I was going to attend college. But Girls' State was a really pivotal program for me just this one week. And now I attend Lindenwood full-time. And because you went there, they got a chance to see you and made you an offer? Yeah, they gave me a scholarship.

So I did get a full tuition scholarship to Lindenwood that week based off my application and my background in high school. And that was also the week the documentary was being filmed.

So it was a life-changing week. I didn't look back, that was one of the most pivotal points. Points in my life, I think. All right, so here's a little of that documentary, CUP 50. I have so much adrenaline that I woke up at 4:30 today and just read through the manual.

Every election that I've put myself in at my school, I've won like since fourth grade. Do you want to go through our spirit tunnel? Yeah. At my school, and kind of known as that kid. Culture Club, Keith Club, Environmental Sustainability, FCA.

Student Council, Connect, Melville Media, STEP Team, La Crosse. I'm missing things. Did I say Science Club? Oh, and I started a Bible study at my school. There we go.

So if you're a Federalist, Nationalist. Yeah, that's my lucky number. Oh my gosh, you were running for president. Emily Worthmore Worthmore for America 2040. Oh my goodness.

They asked us our freshman year to pick your top three careers, and mine says: President of the United States, broadcast journalist, rock star. I think I can do all three. People at my school don't know if I'm conservative or liberal, and I kinda like that. When people ask me what party I am, I don't want to say what I am, and then have half the room stop listening before I even get a chance to speak. Uh But I'm really hoping that coming out of Pearl State, I'm going to be just openly I'm conservative like let's talk about it And Girl State, the name of the camp?

Girl State is the name of the camp. And so you've always been passionate about running for student government. Yeah, and running for president had been a goal of mine since I was in fourth grade. I have it engraved on my class ring 2040 as my year. Because I just look at it and I'm like, somebody is going to be the president.

Somebody is going to be in the position that you want. And I still, I won't kill the bit until it's dead. You know, I'll run with it. Who knows what will happen? You're going to be president still.

Potentially. I have an interest in running for office. I think broadcasts is what I want to do for the upcoming years in my future. But then, once I kind of get to build a platform for myself, maybe eventually go into politics.

So, we're going to watch this. We're going to watch a bunch of 18 to 20-year-olds make their way through and try to stand out. And there's a vote at the end. There is a vote at the end. And we were actually all 17 at this program.

So, it was the summer after my junior year of high school.

So, it's really surreal to watch it back now at 20 years old and see how I operated. I mean, you hear in that clip, I was like a ball of energy at the time. And I think I still am, but like. I should have slept more when I was in high school, honestly. Slept more?

Yeah, I mean, did you hear that? I got up at 4:30 this morning and I was like, it was like Brian Kilmead, but back when I was in high school. You have to. I wasn't doing that in high school. And I didn't have a morning show in high school either.

Here's some of the other contestants talking about why they voted for you, COP50. You voted for Emily. I don't necessarily think she's going to win. Actually, I know she's not going to win. But I think that.

She went and talked to a lot of people. She heard a lot of people. She heard a lot of voices she didn't necessarily want to hear. She had a lot of hard conversations. That's not easy.

That takes guts. Guts I don't have. And I don't agree with the policies she would create. But I think she is a good human being. Wow, who was that?

That's my liberal friend Maddie.

So the funny thing about the documentary is, I was one of the only conservative people they followed, and I thought Missouri Girl State was going to be pretty Republican. But then when I got there, it was not because the demographic of 17-year-old girls just wasn't necessarily the popular thing to be.

So I went in thinking I was going to be fine. I ran a more conservative campaign and we all knew that wasn't gonna win at the end, but I I thought it was more important to kind of stay true to myself because at the end of the day, you know, it's not who won that week. But like, I feel like I won in the end because it's like I was myself. I made a lot of great connections. I didn't win, but I got a scholarship to college.

Like, I feel like I won. And Maddie and I are still great friends. All the girls in Girl State have very different opinions than me, but I think I'm a good listener when it comes down to it. But you got spotted also by turning point from that, correct?

Somewhat. Um Through that, I've gotten to make a lot of networks that have reached out to me. Turning Point, through like CVP, which is Campus Victory Project, they they work together kind of. And just elected student government officials as well, just like through running for student government, have gotten to work with a lot of great connections. Wow, that's pretty intu that's interesting.

So it's been a big help. And now have you done broadcasting at college? Yeah, so I work at our campus radio station. It is a music station, so it's a little different, but I'm the music director at our campus station in KCLC. And then also outside of our campus station, I work at 1019 News Talk SDL, and that's a conservative format station.

And I've loved it. Everybody there is amazing, and it's just really done a great job bringing me up and giving me opportunities to talk.

So tell everyone your personal background. You have not had an easy life. Yeah, it's been a really rough go. Um Not even all of it's covered, but My dad passed away when I was younger. He was a pastor.

I was in a single-parent household, and that was pretty rough.

So I got out when I was in high school still. I'm an independent fully. Got out of your house. Yeah. I I left home when I was it was my senior year, so I went on to graduate early.

At that time I was working seventy hours a week between three jobs, you know, because I'm fully health insurance, you know, going to college, all of that's on me. And it's really hard and really stressful, but I will say that I think it's helped me to stand apart from my peers, and it's given me a lot of respect for my peers who do know my full story. Just because it's something that you don't see a lot. And it has given me a bigger appreciation for the American dream because anybody who says it's not real I need to believe that the American dream is real, that I can come from. A mess.

I'm the first one to go to college. You know, I'm the first one, I think, to graduate high school without a from your family. Yeah. And, you know, you don't have any brothers and sisters? No brothers and sisters.

Now I'm going to go, you know, build my own family. And I'm really excited to get to do that because I believe in the power of family. And I'm I believe in the power that when you come to America and when you're born in America, you you can make a life for yourself out of nothing and you can become something big. And I think that I've made really great steps towards that. And I'm just so excited to see what the future holds for me because.

I really want to have that success story that one day I can tell somebody who's in a similar situation. You can get out and you can build the best life for yourself. And it really doesn't matter what you were born with or what you had. It's like the grit and determination to come from nothing and become something. And would um and who do you credit with inspiring you to work so hard rather than make yourself a victim?

You know I don't know if there's any one person, but I will say that God, I believe it's God, has always placed people in my life exactly when I need them. You know, I it's impossible, almost nearly impossible to survive when you're on your own at such a young age. But I've had friends, parents of friends, who have been like, stay with us. And people who have just not even known my situation and been like, hey, do you want to come over for dinner? Things like that.

You wouldn't have been able to eat that night.

Well, I mean, I could have like figured something out. I'm sure I would have like, but it just like to have that family environment and to have people come up, like, you know, invite me over, just like things like that. Scholarships to college, like, that was totally got there. I think somebody's looking out for me. Because I didn't know how.

And what's that experience been like? They knew everybody's living on their own in college, right? Yeah. And but, but to an extent, I mean, it is a little annoying when, you know, I'm trying to pay for health insurance and, you know, some people don't even work and they're just getting to go to college and have fun. But I don't I want to be happy for them and not jealous.

You know, that's the, that is the 20-year-old girl in me is like, oh, I wish I could just, you know, shop and not care and all that and just go to school and party. And, but at the same time, I think my work ethic is a lot stronger because I do have a reason to like have to work and it's brought me a passion for working. Like, I love it now. Right. So listen, we have some other news things we want to cover.

The President of the United States is now speaking before going on a five-day trip over to Scotland. As you know, he takes every question from everybody, and there's a lot of topics he is discussing.

I'm going to tell you what the stats say, and you tell me what your friends say and what your reaction is.

They picked up on a little routine, you know. The President of the United States is in a real good mood as he heads out for five days over in Scotland through the EU. He'll have some important meetings, visit some properties. He hasn't been over there in a while, and he has some comments also about Gaza. He essentially said, I knew when they went down to 10 to 20 hostages that they're going to be tougher and tougher because that's the only way they can survive by holding on to these hostages.

I said, what's going to happen? He goes, they're going to be hunted down. With us still is Emily Worthmore. According to reports, she's going to be leaving today. Is your last question?

Unfortunately, I don't want to. But that's true. But the President of the United States is speaking right now. Don't you think he gives respect to the press and to the people when he's this open about everything? You know, Caroline Levitt always says the most transparent president.

in history and I see where she's coming from because at least you know he might not always be eloquent. But at least he is out there talking to the press himself. He is talking to the press himself, and Caroline Levitt, also 27 years old, and she's press secretary, the youngest ever, and she'll probably walk right off that job into an anchor job somewhere if that's what she wants to do. Although I could see her also staying in government for a while.

So there's this new study out that I want you to comment on, Emily. And it says early smartphone ownership is associated with feelings of lower self-image and lower self-worth among boys and girls. This is the first time we're getting. Studies done that have concluded this first, second generation of smartphone children that are getting their 20s are how they're being affected by this communication. I mean we all know The kids that are around your age, young adults, can't communicate, right?

Can't look you in the eye. They don't feel comfortable meeting people, asking questions. They feel much more comfortable on their screens. We see people your age and younger, six people sitting together on their smartphones, not talking to each other, non-verbal phone time. Yeah.

So, the impact of smartphones on kids: the girls who reported suicidal thoughts: if you had a smartphone at 13, 48% said that suicidal thought. If you had a smartphone, smartphones after age 13, it's down to 28%. The conclusion is wait till at least 13. The impact on smartphones for girls, less confidence and less emotional resilience. For girl for boys, less stability, calmness, and empathy.

So, what have you noticed amongst your friends? I will say that I do notice when somebody's really good at eye contact, and that's probably why, because it's just not as common with my generation, unfortunately. I had a flip phone until I was 18, and I even had like social media on an iPad that I would use very rarely. Did you feel like you were missing out?

Sometimes, yeah, I was I did feel like I was missing out. People had apps and ways to stay connected and they'd have to work around it for me because it's integrated into schools now. In public school, you're I don't know, probably private school too. It's just like, hey, download this app. This is how we're gonna communicate.

And then I'd have to be the one that's like, oh, we'll text MOE separately or something like that.

So I did feel like I was missing out, but I at the same time kind of made it part of my personality. Everybody thought it was so funny I had a flip phone.

So I like, it was part of the bit then. And to the point where I didn't even want a smartphone until I really needed it for keeping up to date with everything. I mean, with a flip phone, you do text, but it's predictive text, right? You have to do it. No, I was sitting there at one, two, three, C.

You know, like you have to type, you have to click it multiple times. And it's just not worth it. I mean, I loved my flip phone. I highly recommend. They're like making them obsolete now, but the flip phone was great.

I have to have a smartphone now because I need to be. you know, getting my email and I get itchy without it sometimes.

So you are addicted to say Yeah, I I would say I'm a little guilty of it. Um, unfortunately, especially now that I know, oh, you can check my email, you know, you get all these notifications. You probably know more than anybody. You probably have a phone that blows up all the time, do you? Uh I'm on my phone, but I feel like it's uh I feel like it's work-related.

I think they do a pretty good job, and it's easier for me because I didn't grow up with it. A good job of saying, okay, I'm at dinner now. All right, I'm at home. You know, put the phone down, and I'm kind of on. I have a daughter your age and another daughter slightly older.

They don't really have a big problem. The younger one uses a lot more. But I feel like now that she's home, she's going to realize. I think also. Your age was abused.

They never briefed you on some of the downside of this. And all of a sudden, you look around and you read Social Dilemma. Did you watch that Social Dilemma documentary? I've heard of it. I have not watched it.

But she just talks about how Facebook and all these companies manipulated you and addicted you. Yeah, and Brian, and don't even get him started on TikTok because that that's too far. TikTok, I know you don't like it. TikTok is the rage. But it's also TikTok is everywhere though.

It's see it's that's how you reach people. You see candidates now. Right? Like they're using it and that's where the young generation is at.

So it's interesting to see how people will move forward, especially with legacy media, like making sure that we can still reach Gen Z and the generations to follow without things like that.

Well, how do you feel about their conclusion that kids should not have a smartphone until thirteen? I agree. I agree, 100%. I thirteen is too early in my opinion. I think before high school, I don't know what you're doing with the smartphone th that's No.

You know what they say that I'll simplify with anecdotal story. They say, for example, let's say you have a couple of friends. But you go online and you go to Facebook or whatever you're looking at, Instagram, TikTok, and you see what all your friends did over the weekend. And there were parties that were happening, and you were not even invited to those parties. What was that like?

I mean, that would be very upsetting. And that's what a whole generation is dealing with. Yeah, that's so sad. I feel bad. I don't think that they should be doing that before high school.

I don't think there's a reason to have a smartphone before high school. All right, so you thoroughly agree with that.

So, teens are online for an average of. Nine hours a day. In many cases, that's longer than they spend at school. or sleeping.

So they say on average, education, you're on a smartphone four hours and 32 minutes, or whatever it is, the laptop or iPad.

Socializing. What do you think? One day, kids your age. Yeah. Five hours.

One hour, 13 minutes. Really, that's actually better than a lot of my friends' screen time.

So that is good. That's good. But you would like more socializing, I would think, then you have homework, one hour. Playing sports, because so many kids don't. You get some zeros in there.

45 minutes. That is pathetic. Everyone used to be playing sports. Volunteering, 25 minutes. Reading, 25 minutes.

Eight minutes.

So that's it. Hey, Emily, you did a fantastic job. Thank you. I want you to stay in touch with everyone, and I know you're going to come by and visit here in New York. I will be.

All right, if people want to get a hold of you, how do they follow you? I'm Worthmore 2040 on all platforms. Worthmore 2040. Yep, and that's nice. Your future presidency.

That's when I'll kick it. Back in a moment. From the Fox News Podcasts Network. Hey there, it's me, Kennedy. Make sure to check out my podcast, Kennedy Saves the World.

It is five days a week, every week. Download and listen at foxnewspodcast.com or wherever you listen to your favorite podcast. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. Hi, everyone.

Brian Kilmead come to you from Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, around the world. Where, by the way, the President of the United States, the Department of Justice, I'm sure, on the urging of the President of the United States, is suing New York because it's a sanctuary city. People are getting shot and killed by illegal immigrants, the billions of dollars being spent on illegal immigrants, and the sanctuary city has so much to do with it, they're being sued. We'll see where that goes. Because then, when Trump first got in, he tried to get rid of all sanctuary cities, and the courts pushed back.

But mostly, those were Obama-appointed judges. We'll see if things are going to be different now. Yuval David's going to be Jonius Linda Wilde, a Jewish advocate, political advisor, content creator, and actor, Emmy Award-winning actor, I should say. And Steph Kai standing by with Axios.

So, before we get to Steph, let's get to the big three. Number three. Can I ask you something a tough question? You can't tell because they're wearing a suit, but who's got a bigger upper body? Near you?

I don't know. You got that suit on. You look like you're going to take your shirt off again, bro. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, we're up against the brakes.

Hulk Hogan, dead at 71. Stunning. Why does he matter so much to so many? What it meant to Trump that he became a supporter. We look at his lasting legacy.

Number two. I think we're having a very good transcribed interview. Mr. Klain's being fairly responsive to our questions. There have been tidbits.

We've asked specific questions. Obviously. Evidence emerges on a daily basis that would suggest Joe Biden wasn't mentally fit. There we go.

James Comer getting some results. Klain speaks. The former chief of staff for Biden, longtime confidant, was open and honest, evidently, about the diminishing Joe Biden. What he saw and what impresses even Republicans with his candor. It makes you wonder what others were thinking when they took the fifth.

It makes them look worse by the day. And is there pressure now on the other confidants to speak openly like Ron Klain did? Number. I just want to see one thing happen. Very simple.

Interest rates have to come down. If the interest rates don't come down, we're knocking it out of the park. with high interest rates. If interest rates come down, then that final little element kicks in. There you go.

President of the United States in a reality show with the Fed chair fighting the Fed to his face. Donald Trump and Powell fighted out in front of the cameras yesterday in a most, in a blue collar, excuse me, in a white collar way, how he thinks Powell's hurting the country and the economy. And then Powell's replacement auditions on special report and look quite impressive. Steph Kite, welcome back to the Brian Kilmeat Show. Thanks for having me.

No problem. Seth, first off, the President of the United States seemed open and honest for the last fifteen, twenty minutes before he hopped on the chopper on Marine One en route to going to Scotland. He feels really good about the economy and frustrated with the Fed chair, but it doesn't look like Jay Powell's going anywhere, right? Yeah, you know, there's been a lot of reporting that Trump has kind of flirted with this idea of pushing Powell out early. But then he's kind of come back and said that, you know, he's not necessarily planning on doing that anytime soon.

He obviously hasn't taken it off the table. But it seems like for now, Powell will see through the rest of the term. And then there will be a question of who will be Fed chair after that. But of course, it's been no secret that Trump has major issues with the Fed chair. He wants the rates to drop.

He says inflation is under control. The Fed chair has said as much. Yeah, but the tariffs bring some uncertainty. I'm going to hold off. Kevin Walsh, who many people think could be the next Fed chair, certainly the nominee, was on with Brett last night and did not run from the possibility, cut 10 on what's going on.

So the President inherited a fiscal and monetary mess. He's only been in office for six months. He's made a lot of down payments. I'm about getting that in the right direction. That's why economic growth, I think, is poised to grow.

Economic growth can do a lot. Every percentage point of economic growth that we grow above what the consensus estimate is is $5 trillion in revenue over the next 10 years. Boy, that helps pay down the debt. And he went on to say that he thought the Fed has been slow. He wants to blow up even the way they do things.

That's not unusual for the Trump term. No, it's not. And that's the kind of language that Trump seems to enjoy hearing for people who he plans to pick for his top government jobs. He wants disruptors. We've seen that again and again, the people he's placed at the head of agencies.

And it's clear that he wants interest rates to go down and he is going to be looking for someone who's open to making just such an action. But I'll tell you what, if you're Kevin Hassett or Scott Besson, you know that the president is going to be pressuring you to do what he wants.

So I think those guys should. Probably pass. Stay where they're at because they're going to be in an extremely tough spot because you're supposed to be independent as a Fed chair. That's just my career advice. And plus, I think they're doing good jobs at what they're doing.

So the Democrats have their fourth annual Voters for Tomorrow summit, and that's today. And amongst their speakers is going to be Jamie Raskin, Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris. Old faces for a new look. Yeah, it's an interesting, interesting choice. And I think it kind of, you know, again, goes to show Democrats are still trying to figure out who is kind of the face of the future of the party.

I mean, of course, these are still very influential people in Democratic politics, despite some of the controversy. But I'll be interested to see what their real message is, what we hear from them, whether there is an openness to a new direction for the party. These are, you know, all important events to be watching as Democrats already are starting to kind of. you know, make moves already for 2028 and Democrats are trying to raise their national profile. Younger Democrats are trying to kind of step up into that space.

So, Steph, how complicated does the Democratic primary for the mayoral race in New York, how complicated have they made things for the Democratic Party? I mean, it's certainly very complicated. There are a lot of Democrats who are still very nervous about Mamdani as the nominee. There are Democratic leaders who have still been hesitant to meet with him. And he continues to do well in polling.

He continues to gain traction online. It's hard to ignore that he's a talented politician and clearly speaking to a significant base of the Democratic Party, if not, you know, the majority of Democrats. It's hard to read how many people are actually in favor of some of these more progressive policies that he's touting. But Democratic leaders are very nervous about this. On one hand, they want to embrace the energy.

They don't want to turn off a part of their party that is currently energized. At the same time, they look back at the last election cycle and feel that they needed to be more moderate. And there are those who felt that the reaction to 2024 should be to embrace maybe more middle-of-the-road policy.

So I think there is certainly a divide. And this is just kind of the first instance where there. Really having to grapple with a real candidate who is kind of, you know, revealing those fractures.

So, just interesting because Hakeem Jeffries reportedly denied it, said, if this guy wins, we can't take back the house. That's how worried he is, because, as experts like you know, there's only about what? Two dozen seats that are going to make or break the house? Breathe apart. Yeah, there's only, you know, it's a very slim margin, and Democrats are obviously very hopeful to get back the majority in the House finally.

They're hoping that, you know, kind of that the historical benefits there are in coming in as a minority party in a midterm election cycle will help them. And yeah, it is interesting to hear leaders express their concern that someone like Mamdani could have impacts outside of just New York. That there could, of course, there are important New York races in particular, that Democrats will have to win, competitive races there, but also that he feels that it puts in jeopardy other races outside of New York is certainly interesting. And we'll have to see. On the other hand, there are some who think that the energy and excitement could help them in other areas.

So let's talk about the Epstein situation. It seems as though the Republicans realize they can't run from this. The president realizes it too.

So they go and interview Gawain Masquette Maxwell yesterday. And now there's going to be James Comer says, I'd like to see her.

So either we're going to. Going to go to prison, or they're going to find a way to bring her out to have her testify. And Mark Wayne Mullen wants to put something on the floor that would make all the paperwork come forward, all everything. It's calling for all information to come forward. Can you talk about the change in approach from Republicans?

Did they have a choice? I mean, I think Republicans are seeing the writing on the wall that, yeah, this isn't going to go away anytime soon. And there is a significant portion of their base, you know, Republicans, Trump supporters, you know, MAGA influencers online who are very adamant that there be more transparency on everything that's been going on with the Epstein investigation, the case. They want to see these files that they've been talking about. This is really, you know, a problem of the administration's own making when we have people close to the president who have for a long time been saying that they want to release the files, that they intend to, you know, shed more light on what's been going on with the Epstein investigation, shed more light on who is involved in that.

And so I think we've reached a point. You know, I interviewed Senator Tom Tillis and asked him about this. And he's one of those who wants to see all of the files released. And his read is that either this is a nothing burger and too much was promised and even so that should be revealed or there are really concerning things in some of these files and that needs to be released. There needs to be light shit on that for the American people.

Yeah, absolutely. And by the way, so Mark Waymullen came out and said, and he is demanding state federal courts immediately unseal all Epstein documents. Earlier he said he's not, I don't think we should do it, but now. No one's standing in the way.

So, the question is: if there was something bad about Donald Trump and Epstein, and we know they had a relationship, and Steph, my analogy is: I know there's a lot of people that thought that Bill Cosby was a great guy and the best comedian ever. He was one of the most popular people filling in for Johnny Corrison in America. And there's plenty of pictures with important people and. Bill Cosby, including presidents.

So Cosby ends up being a terrible guy who goes to prison for horrible things. Does that mean those people that were friendly with him should be condemned? O.J. Simpson had a ton of friends. I mean, the rich of the rich, the most famous of the famous, from athletes to actors to politicians.

Best friend, one of his best friends was Al Michaels. Should they be condemned because he turned out to be a double murderer? Epstein had people thought that he was a power player, financial power player, and he really was, but he ends up being a horrible person. Do you think those analogies hold up? I mean, I think that those are the questions people are asking.

I think there are Republicans who have faith that Trump will not be found to be guilty of any kind of crime or Malicious activity, but the fact that there are some connections to Trump and Epstein, I think they just want it to be clear. If there's nothing to hide, there should be no reason to show the American people what has been discovered as this investigation has been ongoing for several years.

So I think those are questions Republicans have. And that's what they're saying. You know, just because Trump's name is in the files does not necessarily mean that he was involved in some of the sex trafficking scandals, right? It doesn't necessarily mean that he is, you know, participated in any of that. But, you know, I think a lot of people want to see clarity on this because it is such disgusting behavior and horrific crimes.

You know, lawmakers and American people, voters, want to be very clear on who is and is not involved.

So, a couple of things. It's going to turn out, you know, Bill Clinton's all over it. They were best friends, flew together, paintings, famous, embarrassing painting of Clinton in a blue dress that Epstein had on his plane, all these things.

So, this is going to be Bill Gates. Name's going to be popping up. We know they were good friends. It helped, according to reports, blow up his marriage. He's a big-time Democratic donor.

Here is Roe Kahana when asked, listen. When you had the White House for four years of Joe Biden and you were going after Donald Trump, this never came up. If there was something in there, shouldn't we have seen it already? Here's how we responded yesterday, CUT 27. We, during the Biden administration, had two releases of documents.

The courts ordered the documents released in 2021, and the courts ordered them released in 2024. And I am on record having supported Elijah Cummings at Oversight, calling for more of a hearing about Epstein's death and the impact on victims.

So it's not true that there wasn't focus on that. He's then went on to say Donald Trump raised the stakes on it.

So I just think that if there was something on Trump after what we saw with all those trials and indictments and convictions, don't you think that they would have used that? I mean, it's hard to know. The reality is, what's interesting about this entire case and the way it's been playing out is the way that this investigation, you know, Epstein's death was under the first Trump administration, right? This started when Trump was in office, went through the Biden administration.

Now it's back again in the Trump administration. There have been bipartisan opportunities to reveal more about what was going on. There have been bipartisan opportunities to investigate in Congress. And there are bipartisan lists of names that may or may not end up being, you know, shown in these files. And so, you know, I don't think this is going to cut just against Republicans or just against Democrats, just against Trump or just against Bill Clinton.

I think that's why this has been such a messy case. And so, so probably. Crime for conspiracy theories on both sides of the aisle. Right, if he was a massage agent, was he working for the CIA? All these crazy situations.

What I think people are going to find out is there are people, especially on the right. that have conspiracy theories. And if you could, that's fine. But if it turns out your conspiracy was wrong, you have to admit it. And, you know, we did walk on the moon.

You know, I do think that maybe Harvey Oswald acted alone. And if it turns out he did and we did walk on the moon, you have to say, okay, at least I got to the bottom of it. I get the sense somebody's not going to be pleased unless their conspiracy ends up proving out. Lastly, you wrote about Majority Leader Thune. You got to say, what a great job he has done with somebody just coming out of the blocks with a president he didn't know too well.

I mean, he has certainly been working hard. I know the senators are exhausted. I see them on the hill, and he has been pushing to get nominations through at a really fast pace, despite the fact that Democrats have really been making it difficult, refusing any voice votes or unanimous consent on any of Trump's nominees. And Thune has been pushing through, forcing late night votes. We're expecting next week to be a pretty grueling week with late votes once again, potentially going into the weekend, beginning to cut into that August recess that lawmakers always look forward to and need for campaigning and to be home and talking to constituents.

But Thune seems ready and he's prepared his conference to be ready to work even into those first few days of August to get as many of Trump's nominees done as they can, given Trump himself has called on Thune to cancel August recess to get more nominees through. But they've certainly been pushing hard to get the president's agenda through. Right. President Swirley and Paul. Obviously, the undersecretaries, deputy secretaries really matter.

Almost everyone from Doug Collins to Sean Duffy tells you how undermanned they are because of the nomination process. I think both sides do it. And I just think it hurts the country. Mike Waltz got through on committee, and he could get a vote next week. Evidently, Janine Shanimp went across the party lines, and you write the Rand Paul pushback against it.

Do you think he'll get his vote and become UN ambassador, real quick? You know, I think he has a good chance of ultimately being confirmed. I don't think it'll be, you know, the easiest vote in the world, but you know, Thune has a few votes to work with, even if it ends up being party lines. Again, we don't expect Rand Paul to be voting in favor of Mike Waltz. He made that pretty clear in some of the committee hearings leading up to the committee vote.

Steph Kite does a great job for Axios. We always love when you come on. Steph, thank you. Have a great weekend. Thank you.

Also, we were at her on Zoom the whole time. We can go on your app and click watch. Your calls next. Brian Kilmicho. You're with Brian Kilmead Hey, I'm Trey Gowdy, host of the Trey Goutdee Podcast.

I hope you will join me every Tuesday and Thursday as we navigate life together and hopefully find ourselves a little bit better on the other side. Listen and follow now at FoxNewsPodcast.com. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead. Have you seen Hunter Biden describing?

Why crack is so good? It's the greatest crack advertisement of all time. No. If crack wasn't terrible for you, this guy makes me want to try crack. I'm not going to.

Don't do it. I'm not giving any advice, but I'm saying. This guy Like, legitimately, this might be the best advertisement for crack of all time. He's a lot smarter than people give him credit for. I'll tell you that.

Like, he's talking, and one of the things he was talking about was why smoking things are so addictive, why smoking cigarettes are so addictive, and like the psychology behind it. He's not dumb. That's the best ad for Coke ever. It's the best. Best ad for crack ever.

And he could be president. And he talked about the purity of crack and how it's actually better for you than alcohol and how they burn off the bad chemicals in crack. And it's comically ridiculous, but Joe Rogan is having fun with it. The headlines is Joe Rogan thinks Hunter Biden could be president.

So, listen to it. Obviously, he's having fun with the whole concept, while also noting that the detail in which he's talking about doing crack makes me think he's still doing crack. Not Joe Rogan, of course.

So, we go, we have some disturbing news when it comes to the hostages that just emerged from the president of the United States. Hamas, your days are numbered. Fox News Audio presents Unsolved with James Patterson. Every crime tells a story, but some stories are left unfinished.

Somebody knows. Real cases, real people. Listen and follow now at FoxtrueCrime.com. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show.

Well, the Gaza situation, and I said this was gonna happen when you get down to your last 10 or 20. We got a lot of hostages out. We took them out in numbers that nobody believed, a lot of them. And I said, when you get down to 10 or 20, I don't think Hamas is going to make a deal because that means they have no protection. And basically, that's what happened.

Amas didn't want to make a deal. I think. I think what's going to happen is they're going to be hunted down. That's what's got to happen. Also, the communication between Hamas and hotels and the Hamas actually fighting in Gaza was breaking down because no one knew where to find them.

So, the deal that was offered to them in Qatar was, they had a hard time relaying it with Steve Witkoff's team, and he came out and posted this on X. We have decided to bring our team home from Doha for consultations after the latest response from Hamas, which clearly shows a lack of desire to reach a ceasefire in Gaza. While the mediators have made great efforts, Hamas does not appear to be coordinated or acting in good faith. I think they lost total control of what's left. They have killed all the higher-ups, literally all of them.

And now they just have other lieutenants who are in there, and who knows what they're up to. Yuval David, Jewish advocate, political advisor, actor, content creator, is with us now. Yuval, this was just 20 minutes ago. What's your reaction to the president's message? The reaction to the president's message hopefully is a wake-up call to Western media and all these people who think that we have a group that we can actually negotiate with.

Hamas is a terrorist organization and cannot be trusted. They've Proven that they cannot be trusted, and they prove that they've manipulated this situation.

So, I have friends who were held hostage. I understand from their stories what they went through. It is absolutely horrific.

So, we need to figure out a different way to release the hostages. I wish that Israel and the United States were much more bold originally on October 8th to release the hostages and fight harder. There were over 200 at one point. Steve Witkoff says we are now considering alternative options to bringing them home. We'll try to create a more stable environment for the people of Gaza.

It's a shame that Hamas has acted in this selfish way. We're resolute in seeking an end to this conflict and a permanent peace in Gaza. When it comes to aid, there's no doubt there's innocent people that are starving. What's the problem with getting aid to these guys? The problem with getting aid to these guys is that Hamas takes over the aid.

All the aid that goes into Gaza is taken by Hamas, is not given to the civilians. There are even many stories and reports that Hamas then tried to sell this aid to the Gazans as opposed to. Being provided to them.

So we're dealing with a terrorist mobster organization that needs to be eradicated, not just for the sake of Israelis and Jews and people across the Middle East and the world, but for Gazans themselves, so they can have the free lives that we wish for them to have.

So what's your reaction to. President Macron of France planned today to recognize the Palestinian state. I mean, give it to France to doing what France has always done. I think what President Macron is now doing is he's catering to the massively increasing Islamic and Muslim population in France. To recognize a Palestinian state is ridiculous when a Palestinian state does not exist.

There's a state of Israel, and there are Palestinian territories. Until the Palestinians can't have a Palestinian leader who will properly represent them, how is there going to be a Palestinian state? Hamas terrorizes Gazans and does not represent all of Palestinians. Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority barely has consensus amongst all the Palestinian territories in Judea and Samaria, as the Jordanians call it the West Bank. And so there's a problem.

What Palestinian state is there? That's a great question.

So what happens with the West Bank? Have you heard a plausible Uh outcome there that says this is possible. Look, every Israeli prime minister has negotiated for a two-state solution until Benjamin Etanyao said, enough. What negotiations for a two-state solution when they don't want a two-state? They walked away from it, could have been West Bank with a bridge to Gaza.

Correct. Correct. Exactly. They walked away from it multiple times throughout the course of his life. That's what from the river to the sea actually means.

It's about land. It's about religion. It's about one religion occupying the entire region, which means no Jews, no Christians, and no non-religious Muslims.

So the president was asked about Macron's comments. He goes, well, Macron's a different guy, but the good news is it doesn't matter what he thinks. Because we're a strong country, and that's what I love hearing from the president, is reminding the world that America is a superpower, and we need to step up to create the changes around the world that we need to see.

So here's what Rubio said as Secretary of State and National Security Advisor. The United States strongly rejects Macron's plan to recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General. Assembly. This reckless decision only serves Hamas's propaganda and sets back peace. It is a slap in the face of victims of October 7th.

Absolutely. Why would Hamas want to release the hostages if they're doing so well? If they're getting leaders from around the world supporting their cause and wanting to be onto this so-called Palestinianist side, why would they release the hostages? Hamas is winning. Right.

We know they're not. We know there's almost nothing left of them. You guys have done the IDF has done an incredible job with their intelligence, with their work, to wipe out basically all the leadership. Yeah, but you have to remember: Hamas isn't just an organization, it's an ideology. Hamas is an ideology that's been taught in the schools for the vast majority of most Gazans' lives.

So we need to change Hamas as an ideology. That's how they're winning. They believe that you and I and all Jews and all Christians win. I absolutely are seeing them winning in the streets across the West. We're seeing these Palestinianist protesters claiming to be pro-Palestinian and yet not doing anything pro-Palestinian, just doing things against Western democracy.

And I think that that ideology is winning. Palestinianism is an ideology that's spreading around the world. Yeah, extremism.

So Linda McMahon has done a great job as Secretary of Education doing intense negotiations to rid anti-Semitism from some of our elite colleges across the country. They cut a deal with Colombia for guarantees for the anti-Semitism to stop, the curriculum to change, and for a cost of $200 million, they can get their billion-dollar grants. Here's what she said yesterday: cut 30. I'm really pleased, though, that we were able to come to this agreement. with Columbia.

Because uh Columbia had said they They did recognize that they had an anti-Semitism problem. Donald Trump campaigned. On that, that he was not going to stand for it. He wouldn't stand for it, and universities that receive federal dollars are going to have to comply with federal law.

So um how do you feel about this deal? I'm glad the deal is happening, but what we still aren't hearing is Colombia isn't saying that they've done massively wrong things. They created an unsafe situation for Jewish students, for Jewish professors, for Jewish staff members. And if this was about any other group, it would have been condemned and swiftly stopped. Colombia is accepting this deal in order to just appease and be able to get the money back.

But they're not course correcting. I would be stunned. If there was a demonstration that lasted more than thirty minutes because of what's at stake for Columbia, I don't care how sincere they are. Put sincerity aside. But if they go take over a library, number one, ban masks on campus, that's true.

They go take over library. September. There is going to be panic amongst the trustees and people. I don't care how sincere they are. They might be anti-Semitic, to get rid of that and stop that right away.

Don't you agree? I would love to see them stop it. I would love to see them stop it. But we also know that there's so much money being poured in from these Islamist organizations, including the Qatar Foundation. And I think that now they're struggling.

And you know what I say? Good. They should struggle because what these universities, including CUNY, including Fordham, including all these other universities, Harvard across the country, is un-American. You said Prime Ministers? I mean, Fordham?

Fordham, absolutely. Fordham, which is a Jesuit school, they had people who were completely supporting Palestinianist, anti-democracy narratives within a university that should be promoting liberalism from a Jesuit philosophy, but they went against it and allowed it to happen. I miss that. I didn't see any of that. That's stunning to me.

So Zoron Mamdani is getting more and more money pouring in, even though he goes to Uganda. Up for two weeks. He hasn't, no one's really touched him in the polls, although Cuomo thinks he's got a shot. And Eric Adams says, I'm just getting started. Curtis Sleeway, in here the other day, says he's got a path.

Here's what he said about something that really must get under your skin as much as anybody on the planet about globalizing into FADA. Cut 29. I can't speak to the media coverage of it. I can tell you that I'm looking forward to that meeting. with Congressman Jeffries and in the conversations that I've had with him.

They have come back to the very urgent issue of affordability.

So he had that meeting. And the meeting did not walk out with an endorsement. Schumer hasn't endorsed him. Goldman has an endorsement. I think Nadler might have.

I'm not sure. Then you have Jeffries not endorsing him, the governor not endorsing him. They realize how radioactive that statement is. Oh, of course, not only is the statement radioactive, Mamdani is radioactive. But the Democratic Party needs to step up and be much more bold because they're losing control of their own party.

Democratic socialists are going to break apart the Democratic Party. The fact that Mamdani is doing so well and has so much money being poured into the campaign, recognizing that the median age of New Yorkers is 38, and he's appealing to people through TikTok, through Instagram, through social media, saying, Hey, it's okay if you struggle to pay your bills. We're going to give you everything for free.

Well, they're all loving this narrative until all of a sudden they start making some money and then realize that they don't want to give all their money away.

So he is completely succeeding in manipulating the public, and I fear that he's going to win. Cuomo said that.

Somebody's going to need to drop out. Of course, from an ego standpoint, he is not dropping out himself. Adams should have much more money being poured into his campaign. I don't know why I'm not seeing much more of Adams all over the place. And Curtis, finally, you know, this iconic New Yorker is gaining some traction.

Mamdani cannot be the mayor of this city. This is the financial center of the world. He's a Marxist, which is anti-American. But what we saw, for example, it's called the marriage of the red and the black initiatives. That's according to Iranians that said the reds, the Marxists, the socialists, the communists partnering with the black movements, being black, the color that represents the Islamist movements, is what we've seen happening around the Arab world.

That's what he's bringing here. And that's why Mamdani keeps talking about Islamist causes, about Palestinian issues, about Israel. Shouldn't he be speaking more about actually making New York a better city? Oh, yeah, he's clueless. Or he knows exactly what he's up to.

But he's going to be thoroughly ineffective. The whole making five supermarkets, John Casamatidis, who runs Christides. Totally. I mean, have you ever gone to a post office or to the MVA and see how horribly they're run? Really, you want to get your food in the same way?

It would be even worse. And I'll add to that, it's not even effective. Chicago has fallen on its face in Kansas City. They've tried the same thing.

So, Makhmut Kulio, the infamous graduate student from Columbia who leads a lot of these anti-Israel, pro-Hamas protests and was detained by ICE, and now thanks to a judge, is out, but he's still under pressure. This guy has not only doesn't have any regrets, he feels empowered. He's double-double down, Brian. Listen to this. Listen to this exchange on CNN from Tuesday, Cut 33.

Do you specifically condemn Hamas, a designated terrorist organization in the United States, not just for their actions on October 7th? I condemn the killing of all civilians, full stop. But I don't want to go. I am very clear with condemning all civilians. I'm very straight in my position in that part.

But it's disingenuous to ask about condemning Hamas while Palestinians are the ones being starved now by Israel. It's not condemning October 6th, where 260 Palestinians were killed by Israel before October 7th.

So I hate this selective outrage of condemnation, because this wouldn't lead to a constructive conversation. What do you say? He's such a hypocrite. He's saying that he doesn't appreciate things that he doesn't do himself. He's not condemning Hamas.

He's incapable of being completely genuine. He's easy in the world. No, easiest question in the world. Absolutely. Now, I don't know if you saw, but he was meeting with all of these people on Capitol Hill.

He's being treated like a hero. Bernie Sanders met with him. I'm sorry. Bernie Sanders, who only uses his Jewish identity when he's able to condemn Israel, doesn't use his Jewish identity for anything else. He's one of those, as we call them, the as a Jew.

They say, as a Jew, they're against Zionism or against Israel.

Well, you know what? Any Jew who knows their Jewish identity, education, religion, understands that Israel is essential within our identity.

So the fact that Mahmoud Khalil is being touted as a hero, meanwhile, calling for the destruction of democracy, the destruction of the United States, the destruction of Israel. He also is supporting Islamist movements that are against freedom of religion, that are against democracy. This guy is as anti-American as they come.

So it was Marco Rubio's State Department that scooped him up, said he lied about his student visa, and now he lied to get a green card. And here is Yuval, by the way, Yuval David Tier, just a couple more minutes. He's Emmy Award-winning, a multi-award winning journalist, filmmaker, and actor, as well as a leading advocate, obviously, for Jewish causes.

So here is Mark Mukulil talking about Marco Rubio, Cut 34. It's Marco Rubio who's supporting these new Nazi parties in Europe. It's the Trump administration who's meeting with Holocaust deniers. It's not me. We're simply calling for the rights of the Palestinian people, for their justice and freedom.

So, Marco Rubio is the bad guy. Yeah, and he's able to manipulate the feeble minds to think Marco Rubio is the bad guy. But Marco Rubio is the good guy. I used to really enjoy watching CNN.

Some of the people who work at CNN are dear friends of mine. I can't watch their programs anymore because they're just sharing these false narratives, which are manipulating our own American public. People must realize that this Palestinianist Islamist movement is a political movement that's affecting our country. Do you have any event that you want to announce? Absolutely.

I mean, I'm a fellow with the Middle East Forum, which is very exciting. I'm getting more and more involved with the Log Cabin Republicans, an LGBT Republican organization. I'm finding myself feeling more at home within the Republican and conservative movements, even though I've been a lifelong progressive Democrat.

So it's a very interesting thing to see. By the way, I'm no longer a Democrat and I'm no longer progressive because the movement's moved. But yeah, I travel across the United States with speaking engagements, empowering Jews and allies to be better advocates for themselves. For our community.

Well, you're doing a great job. Yuval, David, thanks so much. Brian, thank you. Back in a moment. Both sides, all opinions.

Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show, sponsored by Previgen. Previgin made for your brain. The only difference between crack cocaine and cocaine is sodium hypercarbonate and water and heat, literally. That's it.

That's it. And those things are pretty much free if you go to like a science store. This is free. You can go to your neighborhood convenience store and just get... Anyway, I don't want to tell people how to make crack cocaine, but it literally is a managed jar of cocaine and baking soda.

Crack cocaine, in terms of your physical health, is not as dangerous as the situation that you put yourself in to be able to obtain it.

So it's hysterically tragic. Hysterically tragic. I mean, he was going to tell us exactly how to make a crack. Did you know that, Eric? I kind of want to try cracking.

I know. Absolutely. You actually boil all the impurities out of it.

So easy to make. It's fantastic. Why aren't we all on crack? That's the bigger question. And by the way, he was about to tell us, did you see the, I thought this was a mistake, but it wasn't.

Did you see on the actual podcast, when he talks about it, they throw up the ingredients on a full screen? I am not kidding. I thought that was done by someone else. No, that's what I thought too. They actually produced it.

You know how sometimes people say four out of five dentists surveyed and like it's up to us in post-production to put up the study. They put it up like, well, let's throw up the recipe. Put up the infographic on crack. We're here to serve our audience. Isn't it gluten-free?

That's a good point. We don't know. If you're lactose intolerant, you might as well stay with Coke because I think they might add some day. Gary. Who knows?

Go to BrianKillMe.com. We'll talk nothing about crack. August 23rd, History, Liberty, and Laughs in Dallas, Texas. This is Jimmy Phala, inviting you to join me for Fox Across America, where we'll discuss every single one of the Democrats' dumb ideas. Just kidding, it's only a three-hour show.

Listen live at Noon Eastern or get the podcast at foxacrossamerica.com. From Hia Top Fox News Headquarters in New York City. City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmead. Same thing, Kamala Harris did.

Thank you very much. Hey, it's Brian Kilmead. Welcome to the latest hour of the week. This is the Brian Kilmead Show. Tommy Laren is coming at the bottom of the hour.

She's from Outkick, of course. And don't forget, One Nation coming up Sunday at 10 o'clock. Tommy will be on. Shannon Bream, a rare treat in our studio. I thought for sure, even though you were in the building, you'd call from another office because you didn't want to be in the studio with me.

Pleasantly surprised.

Well, when the judge waived the restraining order for this 48-hour period, I thought, well, I make good use of that. I'll go see Brian in person. It's a pause, it's a judicial pause on the proceedings. That'll be fine.

So we'll see you. But you can't, this judge cannot deport me.

Well, that you know of. That we know of. We've got to let everybody know. Stranger things have happened. I know.

We'll find out. Where would you want to go if you did get deported? Like, I have some places if I get kicked out of the country, I would never want to leave America, but if they kicked me out of the country, probably Aruba. Oh, that's not a bad place. And I'd serve my time there.

And I'd go from resort to resort until I learned my lesson. You would be on resort arrest. Yes, go to the salad bar. Yeah, I like that.

So, Shannon, I was tempted to do the big three, but I don't want to.

Okay, well, it's your show. Right. You get to do what you want. Should we get your w what's on your show this weekend? We are going to have a debate from the House Intel Committee where, you know, DNI Gabbard has released this stuff about Russia gay, Russia hoax.

We've got the chair, Rick Crawford, and we've got Democrat Jason Crowe. And they don't see the documents the same way. They don't. They don't debate it. I think we need a heavy debate.

This is what I would say, and I was telling people this because I'm like you. I do hits with other affiliates across the country. And this morning they said, what do I think about this? I say this. And I thoroughly I hope people understand my sincerity.

If I find out that Donald Trump in the fourth year of his administration and his he loses to a his party loses to a Democrat, let's say it's Westmore. Westmore is the president-elect. If I found out that Donald Trump met with his inner circle and worked out a way to try to delegitimize Westmore's win and then destroy his next two years with an investigation that was based on nothing, I would be just as outraged as I feel with the revelations that have been coming forward gradually from Andy McCarthy's book four years ago to what we found out again today. Because that's really fundamentally as people get caught up in who said what, that's really what happened. Yeah, and that's what Gabbard says.

You should care whether you're a Democrat or Republican because you don't want this to happen to anybody who's duly elected legitimately by the people of this country. You should not want them to be undermined and the media being complicit and being a partner in this leaks of this, you know. Not fully legit information. I mean, you shouldn't want that for anybody. Right.

And just the key is this, and I don't think this is fully appreciated. They've done the impossible. Yes, since 2014, we've been looking into what Russia is trying to do with our elections. And through basically social media, they tried buying Facebook ads and doing things.

Okay, fine. Nobody thinks electronically, digitally, that they were able to infiltrate. That's one thing they agree on. Right. But they didn't make it clear.

They said, Vladimir Putin, nothing happens in Russia without him knowing about it. We think he was directly involved. And then they established, they wanted to establish collusion. For this entire situation.

So they go ahead and they make up a situation where Donald Trump is working with Vladimir Putin in order to win an election. Then they meet in Helsinki after long delays and all problems because how could Donald Trump appear with a summit with Vladimir Putin when he's being accused of collaborating with him? That would just reinforce the thought process.

So when they meet in Helsinki, Putin looks at him and says I may be a KGB agent. I probably lie to you all the time, but I actually did not work with you. And you know, I didn't work with you to win an election. You know, the Facebook ads is all I got. And he goes out there and he does a press conference.

And you might have been there in Helsinki. Were you trusting? I was not. I was there in spirit.

So he does a press conference and he goes, Yeah, my Intel community says he tried to manipulate the election. I believe him. He didn't. He didn't try to implement, you know, and I certainly didn't collaborate with him. Vladimir Putin was actually right.

He's like, look, I might be a bad guy, but I didn't kill everybody. You know, I might be a killer, but I didn't kill those people. Certain killing. Yes. So.

But Vladimir Putin was actually telling the truth. You took the villain of our generation and you caught him t Telling the truth. You overcharged him with innuendo that we didn't find out until from until I I guess two weeks ago.

Well, and the thing is, you go back, we've all been doing it playing the clips, where you have people saying Russia hacked the election. That's a very specific Thing that makes people think because when you talk to people now, you probably talk to people all the time, like, oh, yeah, they broke into machines and changed votes. Everybody agrees that is not what they did, that's not what they're talking about. D's and Rs agree that that is not what happened. But when you leave that impression out there for people, there are people who believe that's exactly what Putin did, right?

Uh, and the thing is, if you only watch if you watch only the other channels and only read the New York Times and Washington Post. Then, you know, the investigation happens, the Moa report is done, and he's not impeached.

So much happened. I'm even thinking, oh, yeah, they couldn't prove that he collaborated with Poom. We all know he did. But if you don't go out of your way to read a book or watch our channel, you have no idea what we're talking about. For example, did you know the whole thing with a laptop?

How many times do people outside the Fox go, well, that was Russian disinformation?

Well, this is the same vibe to me. The exact same vibe where people are saying, we shouldn't even be reporting on this. You're doing Russia's bidding. You're doing the work for them by reporting on this. No, as journalists, you should want to ask questions.

You should say, hey, is there something to this? I should care because, as you said, with a Democrat president, this could happen too. We don't want that to happen.

So, Shannon, there's three things going on right now: the Tulsi Gabbard's got merit. All right.

The Epstein investigation's got merit. And we have a situation with Joe Biden. Was he actually making any decision? Has merit? But those three things Are not affecting Americans' lives.

They're of interest. But if you take the top 10 issues that affect America's lives, Donald Trump's making big decisions, and some are great, and some you disagree with. Like the MAGA world probably agrees with 99.9% of it.

Some Republicans agree with maybe 80% of it. Democrats, 15% of it. But it's all happening. Impactful decisions. The big, beautiful bill, even the college sports EO that came down the pike.

There's no more DEI in this country. If there is, you're going to be condemned. The argument on sanctuary cities, immigration in our midst, the ceiling of the border. Those are the issues that matter that people are going to vote on and feel, let alone the economic trade deals. How much does meat cost?

How much does eggs cost? How much is that new car going to cost? How much to get a mortgage? Those are all the things that rank ahead of the three biggest stories. Yeah.

So, how do you. not cover The reality shows and cover what's important and keep people's interests. Yeah, I think you got to do all of it. I mean, you have to acknowledge that there are other stories going out there. Our polling shows us what people are worried about.

And they do a daily poll, a daily check-in every time they buy groceries and they put gas in the car and whatever they do. That's their real life. A lot of people, you bring this up up with, they have no idea who you're talking about. They don't know who Brennan or Clapper is. Like those names, that's not part of their daily routine of trying to keep a roof over their head and their kids in school and whatever else they got to do.

So I do think those are things that will show up much more in voting, in decisions. I mean, there are off-year elections. We're watching New Jersey and Virginia. I mean, there are places where you're going to get to hear from people about other things they actually care about. I want you to hear the one thing I was surprised at is that Ron Klain spoke.

Out of everyone behind closed doors, I guess Neera Tandon and one other spoke, but had very little to say. And then you had a bunch of people take the fifth in the Joe Biden investigation. But almost everyone agrees that Ron Klain came to play. And I'm just wondering why you think he did. Is he trying to save his career?

Is he trying to save, is he trying to cleanse his soul? What is he doing? I think a couple different things.

Some of these people are coming in under voluntary interviews, which I believe that's what he was yesterday. That's different than a sworn deposition where. If you're going to potentially be in trouble, you're going to take the fifth. I mean, that a sworn deposition, you're going to want more protection.

So if you, as a lawyer, when someone takes the fifth, if I say, well, that obviously you're hiding something, you go, No, no, no, that's a that's a constitutional option. Yeah, it is. Can you contrast taking the fifth to what Ron Klain did? Yeah. And they have the same stakes?

Yeah. I mean, There are different potential penalties for the way that he was testifying, but I do think that he is a guy who understands. Listen, he said, of course, the president was slowing down. That's not a big mystery. It would come with his age, that kind of thing.

What I thought was interesting is that apparently he talked about the fact that Jake Sullivan and Hillary Clinton came to him during the end of Biden's time and said he's not politically viable.

So there are a lot of people out there that are going to be thrown into this mix. More people for Hunter Biden to be mad at. Here's what Republican Congressman Andy Biggs said: cut 16. I think uh uh Mr. Clain has bi come in there and he's uh In my opinion, he's not trying to avoid answering the questions.

He's answering the questions carefully. It's going he's saying the things that I kind of expected him to say, which is reflective of the book, the Whipple book, and some of the articles written about that. But he's been answering the questions, I think. Uh forthrightly in in the way he sees the world. See, it to me, it is such, so interesting that he thought it would be.

The right thing to do to say Hillary Clinton also knew it and Jake Sullivan. We know that Jake Sullivan, who was doing all this international work, had to call back to the White House and know he was getting a dial tone.

So, and he denied it. This is the second time we heard that Jake Sullivan had a problem with Joe Biden's cognitive ability, but they both deny it.

So at this point, They do an autopsy for Democrats and they say, We're not going to talk about Harris, we're not going to talk about Biden. And behind the scenes, you only got really one or two people that are willing to talk about it. Where do you think this will go? I mean, do you think there's pressure on those who are left, at least five, to say something?

Well, and our polling does show out this week that people do think that the investigation into use of the auto pen is legit. They want answers about that. And again, that's another thing you shouldn't care about based on party. Any president that you think is not in control of making decisions, you should not want, if you're a D or an R, to know that there's a group of people, the Politburo, whatever they're calling them, who were running the show and making decisions. Like, no American should want that.

It completely devalues your vote and your ability to trust in the presidency.

So our polling shows that people do want answers on that question. I don't know how far you get with this. Klain does seem to have been the most forthcoming, but think of the big heavy hitters we have still coming. Anita Dunn. We've got Jeff Zeitz.

We've got Corine Jean-Pierre, who said as a marathon runner, she couldn't keep up with President Biden.

So we've got some more. I've got a lot of questions. I didn't know the first part. Was she a marathon runner? She had actually a distance runner.

Mm-hmm. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah. But do you know why she said absolutely nothing in those press conferences? What do you mean?

When she would go out, I know press secrets have to spin, but you didn't like her book? But if you watch Kaylee McEnany, if you watched Caroline Levitt, Ari Fleischer. Any Democrat that I could think of, they have something to say and stuff they don't want to say. But she absolutely said nothing always. And that was because, to me, there was nothing going on.

He wasn't making decisions. Right. Think about it like Caroline said yesterday or the day before, like she says all the time: I'm with the president every single day. I know what he thinks, I know what we're working on, I know what's happening around the clock. I feel like his inner circle, meaning President Biden's, really did not have much access to him at all.

And like you said, I don't know that a lot was getting done. And so she would come out, and I think her role was to be protective. That's what she was doing. A few more minutes with Shannon Bream. Oh, excuse me.

Oh, wait, yeah. With a few more minutes with Shannon Bream. You sound like maybe you don't think that's a good idea. No, you're weighing your options. No, I was looking at instead of looking at your name, I was looking at Tommy Lahren.

And you're fast forwarding past me. You're like, let's get to Tommy Larry. You don't mind. You know, I get our fantastic anchors confused sometimes, back in a moment. Politics, current events, and news that affects you.

Brian's got a lot more to say. Stay with Brian Kilmead. This is Jason Chaffetz from the Jason and the House podcast. Join me every Monday to dive deeper into the latest political headlines and chat with remarkable guests. Listen and follow now at FoxnewsPodcast.com or wherever you download podcasts.

The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead. So, Shannon, you and I have the same challenge. President of the United States spoke for like a half hour. I'm on the air.

I'm running in an elevator, yeah. But I want you to hear what he said. I was hopeful last weekend. I said it because we had the show on Sunday. I was hopeful last weekend they were going to be talking about a hostage release.

Yeah. And got really close.

So when asked, it looks like. Steve Woodcoff's crew is left cutter and evidently Hamas. The hotel stayers can't get in charge of it, can't in touch it with the warfighters. There's a total disconnect. Most of the leadership's been killed, so it has a lot to do with it.

But here's what the President said about Gaza.

Well, the Gaza situation, and I said this was going to happen when you get down to your last 10 or 20. We got a lot of hostages out. We took them out in numbers that nobody believed, a lot of them. And I said, when you get down to 10 or 20, I don't think Hamas is going to make a deal because that means they have no protection. And basically that's what happened.

Hamas didn't want to make a deal. I think uh I think what's going to happen is They're going to be hunted down. Mm. It's gonna be hard. I mean very hard to go into this the most Uh Hostile.

Clearly, they are hostile and the terrain is terrible. And they've, you know, by the way, IDF guys are still dying. Oh yeah. Absolutely. So they got to go and dig out 20 people and get them out alive, 20 plus.

Yeah, and there's enormous risk with that. And people will say, well, look at what's happened in Gaza. You've carpet bombed the place, whatever. You know what the Israelis say? We are targeting.

If Hamas hides in schools and hospitals and those kinds of things, they leave us no choice. And the people should be upset that Hamas is using them as shields. But I cannot imagine how. Difficult it will be to carry out an operation to get those 10 or 20 back.

So, Mahmoud Khalil on CNN this week, he is somebody who's just one as a foreign student just looking to make it in America, not really, organizing protests, anti-Semitic protests against Israel, pro-Palestinian, Syrian-born, and dare I say, pro-Hamash. What do I think? Listen to this exchange with Pamela Brown of CNN, Cut 33. Do you specifically condemn Hamas, a designated terrorist organization in the United States, not just for their actions on October 7th? I condemn the killing of all civilians, full stop.

But what I don't want to get into is condemning all civilians. I'm very straight in my position in that part. But it's disingenuous to ask about condemning Hamas while Palestinians are the ones being starved now by Israel. It's not condemning October 6th, where 260 Palestinians were killed by Israel before October 7th.

So I hate this selective outrage of condemnation, because this wouldn't lead to a constructive conversation. Well, one is a democracy represented by a military. The other is a terror organization who is dominating the Palestinian people.

So that's clearly not a denial. It would have helped one more question to say, finally, last time, is Hamas a terrorist organization? organization, why would you not condemn it? But you but you know why he's not. Right.

And you make the point that it is the Palestinian people who suffer under Hamas. And so that's part of the equation that you have to factor in there. But yes, you can say, yes, I condemn killing civilians. I think that's always wrong. But, you know, there is that second part of that question.

Well, yeah, what about Hamas? Right. And. This victory, I think, for the president's administration, Linda McMahon specifically in Columbia. $200 million you're going to pay in order to get your billion dollars and you're going to crack down, do certain things to stop anti-Semitism on campus.

What do you think? Yeah, they're going to be restructuring the way that they do things, and they're going to pay out complaints to Jewish students who felt like they were not safe. They were not protected. The school could have done much more to do about that. There are some payouts on that, too.

And it's in such contrast to Harvard, who's saying, nope, we're just going to fight all of this in court and the money's going to be tied up. But again, it gets to normal people, like we're talking about, everyday Americans, who look at some of these universities and say, you have multi-billion dollar endowments. Why are we paying you money? As average Americans, who could never send their kids to these schools. Like, why are we footing the bill for that?

Shannon, how about the fact is who can't get into these schools? And maybe the reason is 27% of your student body is foreign.

Now, Harvard's a little bit less than that, but I think that needs to be examined as well as foreign investment in these schools. What are they getting for? What is Texas Tech getting for all this cutter money? What do they want? Are they just feel bad that this school doesn't have a bigger library?

Or do they want to make sure certain curriculum is taught in those schools? And I'm not necessarily anti-cutter. I understand they're in a difficult neighborhood, but they are pouring a lot of this money. That's got to be exposed.

Well, and these schools know, if you get an international student in, they make a lot more money. On those students than they do domestic students. That's one of the reasons they do it. That's what's the problem with capitalism. That's why I am more of a socialist Marxist.

So you voted for Zoron, Montana. Yeah, in fact, I was going to run until I realized he feels exactly the way I do. Do you think he'll hire you into his administration? I'm sure it'll go well, but he won't pay me nearly as much as I deserve. And then, you know what?

Maybe. You're okay with that. I'm okay with that. Capitalism is so overrated. Shannon, Fox News Sunday, watch.

It is time to take the quiz. It's five questions in less than five minutes. We ask people on the streets of New York City to play along. Let's see how you do. Take the quiz every day at thequiz.box.

Then come back here to see how you did. Thank you for taking the quiz. The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead. So we're taking a look and uh.

It looks like it's about 3.1 billion. It went up a little bit. We're alive. Uh so the 2.7 is now 3.1. I'm not aware of that.

Yeah, I I don't know. I haven't heard that from anybody at the Fed. Yeah, just get around. I don't know who does that. You're including the market renovation.

You just added in a third building, is what that is. That's a third building.

For him. Between the problems they had with the flooding, I guess the water line, between problems they had with I guess some of the schemes and whether it was marble or windows, the building of the new Fed building is way overcost. It's over $2 billion. And President Trump is, in my view, using that as an opportunity to highlight how irresponsible the Fed's been run.

So he grabbed a hard hat, didn't have one for Tim Scott, not sure why. Him and Jay Fowl walked the building. Tommy Larin is here, host of Outkicks. Tommy Laron is fearless, Fox News contributor, about to go on outnumbered. But, Tommy, the reason why I wanted to play that is just so people fully understand.

There is not a boring moment in the Trump administration. Every moment is on camera. And to see Jay Powell shaking his head, that's not true. And then to see Trump goes, It is true. I got a paper here and Tim Scott in the middle of it.

It makes everything interesting and exciting. Better than really any late night show. Also, just to tie in the news of the week. I mean, you just watch Trump, you listen to him talk, and you're going to get better entertainment. And he doesn't have to have a team of writers do it for him.

He can just do it and create great moments. And it's authentic. And, you know, sometimes people don't like it. People don't like to see officials going back and forth and they kind of grasp their pearls when they see it. But I think it's great.

I think it's happening. It's more transparent. As in dealing with the Biden administration, they can't even decide if he was awake or not. They're fighting back and forth. At least with Trump, it's like, love it or hate it, but it's in front of your face.

He feels like we're losing billions of dollars paying interest. He looks at our budget as if it's his bank account. Right. And he says, all this money's going to interest. Why is this interest so high?

Why is the rest of the world so high? And let the economists out there debate what Tommy and I are talking about. But all I could tell you is he puts together a really solid argument and then he goes and takes it to the guy who's got to make a decision in a few weeks to lower or keep the race. As they are. That's pressure, Van, right?

It's pressure. And we haven't seen this kind of spotlight either. We've never seen this in my lifetime, certainly. The direct pressure, and love it or hate it, but he's making a statement and he's making his feelings known. And I think he also probably takes it a little personally.

Like, hey, you're kind of willing to help out some of the other guys, but you're not willing to help me out. Look at all I'm doing for the economy. Like, help me out, buddy. Yeah. And he's not feeling that.

So he takes it personally. Yeah. And by the way, here is the president. Just when asked directly, he got helped by a reporter with this, cut to. As a real estate developer, what would you do with a project manager who would be over budget?

Generally speaking, what would I do? I'd fire them. Mm-hmm. That's the project manager right next to you. But it would crash the markets.

Kevin Walsh could be the next Fed chair. And I think after his interview yesterday with Brett Baer, it would be.

So he's asked this question: Cut eight. Kevin Wash is a very qualified guy. He's been in government, now outside government. Cut eight.

So the big question: if you were in the role of Fed chair at the next highly anticipated July meeting. Would you cut rates?

So if the meeting is next week, I'd be voting for a rate cut. That's not news. That's been my view for quite some time. I think part of the reason why interest rates are as high as they are, why first time homebuyers are struggling to get a new mortgage, is the Fed's fighting the last war. They have lost credibility because they let inflation get out of control in 21, 22 and beyond, and now they're keeping rates higher than they need.

And he said as much when he said, Well, I got to find out what's happening with the tariffs first. Tariff uncertainty, which to me is political.

So, how'd you feel in this 34-second audition? Yeah, well, also, I would say that the whole tariff apocalypse was overhyped from the get-go, and I think it still is. And I don't think people are buying that narrative anymore. But the guy sounds reasonable. He sounds like somebody that can connect with the issues, but also he can explain it to the American people in not economic jargon, but just, hey, this is time to do it.

And I think a lot of people would rejoice if he was in that spot and he did it, especially homeowners, home buyers. You know, they did a study and they asked people: how concerned are you, and how much do you want to get to the bottom of Joe Biden's auto pen problem? People want to see what happened during the last four years, over the last two years. Before I play it.

Some of the people responses. Why do you think Ron Klain, in your opinion, why do you think Ron Klain choose to speak and, for the most part, speak? Relatively candidly, behind closed doors. Yeah, he's not going to go down without sinking ship. I think that's the easiest way to put it.

He's like, listen, I'm not going to fall on the sword for this guy. I was around for debate prep, but I wasn't really there when a lot of this decline was happening. And so I think he's going to be honest about what he saw, trying to preserve his legacy. Maybe he wants to work in the space again. I don't know why anybody.

Self-preservation? I think it has to be. Who would hire anybody in the Biden verse to do anything, even for a Democrat, in the future, with what they did with Joe Biden? I think it's so tainted. They said it was that of the people around Trump because of January 6th.

I think this is far worse. This is at least four years of cover-up. The ones that are smart are running off a sinking ship.

So here's what Andy Biggs said. He was asked afterwards about what he heard, Cut 17. Yeah, when I say credible, I think he is telling. What he knows accurately. I mean, he's trying to be accurate, okay?

So that's what I'd say. I just find it fascinating. Near attendant, probably didn't give up much, but she spoke. But I think, Tommy, it makes everybody who took the fifth. look even worse today and pressures on everybody to follow, including Jeff Zeitz, his chief of staff replacement, pressure on them to speak.

Why wouldn't you? Excuse me. He was there. They've been friends for decades, right? He was there for two and a half years.

If he can speak, Why can't you speak? I think also it calls into question what I said this morning with Maria. Are you oblivious? That's not good. Or were you lying?

There's really only two options here because you either are just so numb and you work with the guy and you couldn't see it, or you just flat out lied about it and you refuse to say anything because maybe you're preserving your job, maybe you're preserving the Democrat Party, the Biden administration. I don't know. But those are the options there. There is no gray area between the two. I hear you.

Uh the other big story this week, did you cover the Hunter Biden? Oh, yeah. Podcast. When he described crack, it was pretty noteworthy, cut 19. The only difference between crack cocaine and cocaine is sodium biblical and and uh water and heat, literally.

That's it. That's it. And those things are pretty much free if you go to like a science store. This is free. You can go to a your neighborhood convenience store and just get.

Anyway, I don't want to tell people how to make how to make crack cocaine, but it literally is a managed jar of cocaine and baking soda. Crack cocaine, in terms of your physical health, is not as dangerous as the situation that you put yourself in to be able to obtain it.

By the way, did you put that music in, Eric? No, they didn't.

So that's the Callahan podcast. Are you amazed by this? You know, I'm not amazed by it. I find it fascinating. I'm not surprised, I guess I would say.

But I would also say this: for as rank as that was with the crack cocaine and the F-bombs, every other word, I just have to say, being honest, he seems at least more authentic and more transparent than pretty much anybody else that's orbiting that Democrat sphere right now. Like listening to him talk about crack cocaine, I mean, I kind of gasp because this is a former first son talking about it. But if you listen to him talk, you at least get a shred of authenticity rather than listening to Hakeem Jeffries, Gavin Newsom, name anyone that's trying to, you know, fight for leadership right now. They all sound so phony. Maybe they could take a page out of Hunter's book.

I don't know. Just be authentic a little bit more.

Well, I say he's authentic, but sad for him, he's being authentic. I mean, his beliefs, his statements, his cursing, the way he could be totally different five days prior. And I just don't want your opinion on this. Do you believe the family is okay with it? Him doing the Podcast number one and number two, saying what he said.

Because he blew up everybody. Yeah. No, I think they're happy because he's the attack dog. I think that the whole family is thinking all of these things. I mean, there is no secret here that the Biden family is not happy with the Democrat Party, the leadership.

And I think they're happy to have Hunter go out there. I mean, what does Hunter have to lose at this point, right?

So the influence peddling alleged is probably over for them. And, you know, at this point, he's already been disgraced.

So why wouldn't he be the one to go out and say these things? Tommy Larry is going to be outnumbered in a matter of 15 minutes. Tommy, thanks so much for giving us quality time first. And according to reports, you're going to be on One Nation Sunday at 10 o'clock. I will be there.

Back in a moment. Illuminating, intriguing, inculcating. I know some of these words. It's Brian Kilmead. It's the Will Kane Show.

Watch it live at noon Eastern, Monday through Thursday on FoxNews.com or on the Fox News YouTube channel. And don't miss a show. Get the podcast five days a week at FoxnewsPodcasts.com or wherever you download your favorite podcasts. He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Kilmead.

Democratic voters are going to decide that. I don't think. I think the country wanted change in 2024. And Paris, for whatever reason, refused to say she would change the direction of Biden. I think that cost the election.

But I don't think a person's gender, I don't, we're going to nominate women going forward, as we well should. All right, I don't have anything, but what what I want, if it's a male or a female, I I want them to be able to talk about things and communicate in a a very direct Way, and we just haven't done that here for a while. No kidding, you haven't done that for a while. James Carville on with Jesse last night, he was not as flamboyant and crazy. He did write an editorial ripping his party, talking about they were nowhere.

But then the week prior, he's on with Rahm Emanuel and Anderson Cooper, and he's saying that we're in a great spot. We're going to win in Virginia, we're going to win in New Jersey. The big beautiful bill is going to be a disaster for Republicans. And When you have a guy that's been out of, you know, he doesn't have a horse in the race, you want him to be an analyst. I thought, well, which one is it?

I mean, is he just really winging it? It's how he feels.

So He feels like they got to get the right person who can speak because Kamala Harris can't speak and Joe Biden couldn't communicate even in his best day. But Ken Martin, at this new conference that they're having, they're having this. this futures conference. It's called the fourth annual Voters for Tomorrow Summit. It's happening at this moment.

Nancy Pelosi just spoke. They also have Kamal Harris speaking. Jamie Raskin, that scintillating charismatic character, and I'm being sarcastic. Ken Martin said this. There's no doubt.

That the Democratic Party, we have work to do. That's why I'm here. That's why I ran for the job. I wasn't a result of just one single election. I've seen for several years now us lose ground with many of our coalition.

But guess what? When you hit rock bottom, there's only one direction to go up.

So he's admitting he hit rock bottom. I think personally they have to get somebody who has nothing to do with Biden and nothing to do with Harris. But they're doing an autopsy on what's wrong with their party, and they refuse to look at Harris and Biden and what they did, how they ran, policies that they implemented. I mean, now they have even Bernie Sanders, John Kerry, and maybe others say they let the border break down. And then when they come up with that, well, we had a bipartisan deal and Trump walked away with it.

No. The bipartisan deal, whatever you thought the merits were, it was never going to be implemented effectively with Joe Biden, and possibly would have tied Tom Holman's hands.

So you had to wait. But the shutdown of the border is and the opening up of the border has been detrimental. They can't overcome it. What they're going to try to do is make it seem that Donald Trump just wants to throw out Hispanic people. Hopefully we're all smarter than that, I think.

Anyway. Here's more from Carville. Cut twenty cut twenty one. You guys have been asking for some real man to take this nomination and stick it to the Republicans. What about Gavin Newsome?

Is Gavin Newsome man enough to be president? I love Gretchen Whitma. I think she's tough. She's to the point. I think we, I don't care about gender, but I want somebody that can talk definitively and clearly.

I had Governor Wes Moore. on my podcast this week. I don't know how you can be much more of a real man than Governor West is. And I'm all over the party. But I don't care if it's a male or female, but I want somebody to talk in clear, definitive language and communicate with people in a simple, elegant way.

And that's what the Democratic Party needs. No doubt about it. You know the problem with Westmore. It's not his military background. It's not his personal story.

It's not his charisma, like ability through the roof. But look what he's doing as governor. First, be a good governor. And as a governor, Governor Hogan had Maryland humming the best any Republican can. It was at a surplus.

Now with all the domestic with all the spending that he's putting into these social programs, they're now in the red. And when they give explanation, he goes, well, there's a whole bunch of things that they didn't pay for that I had to go and pay for. No, it isn't. Maryland's going to be crime-ridden. It's still a sanctuary city.

Most of the cities are sanctuary cities. There has done nothing really to crack down or break the mold of come one, come all attitude that's been a magnet in a Democratic state like that.

So he hasn't shown somebody that will break the mold, break the party to do the right thing.

So, and I just think most of the things that Democrats are doing are remarkably unpopular. Look, Donald Trump's had between a 42 and 46 percent approval rating. He's not got 70 percent approval rating. But in our polarized environment, 46 is like the old 56.

So, you get independence, you do some controversial things, people are going to get ticked off, you're no longer experimental candidates, you are the president.

So, that just should not bother you at all. But when you have 19% approval, Afford Democrats? I think that's a huge problem.

So that's why they're jumping all over the Epstein story. But I think it's going to blow up in their face. Why? Because most of the people with Jeffrey Epstein. Are Democrats.

And I actually think the times in which Donald Trump knew him, he was for the most part a Democrat. These are high finance guys. Who were hanging out with somebody that thought they was cool, was in the in crowd, who has got a lot of money and a lot of powerful people. I mean, the guy's meeting with the king, he's meeting with queens, he's going around the world. He seemed like the guy.

So now that Donald Trump, some pictures emerge of Donald Trump with him and cards that Donald Trump may or may not have signed to him. He was friends with them. and then they stopped being friends about ten years before his death.

So I think it's u ultimately going to blow up. And you want to score on this?

Now they've totally changed for him. Epstein's case is closed.

Now you have Senator Mark Wayne Mullen says: I'm going to put together a resolution, and I'm going to ask for bipartisan support to expose all the paperwork.

Now they have Donald Trump's attorney, the Deputy Justice Department attorney, go down and meet with him. Uh go meet with uh Gawain. Maxwell? Mike Davis from the Article 3 project, legal expert, on with Laura last night, cut 25.

So Adam Schiff, the guy who got a pardon, is now accusing other people of misconduct. And remember this, did Merritt Garland participate in this cover-up for President Trump for four years when they brought charges for non-crimes against President Trump for four years?

Somehow, President Trump is involved with Jeffrey Epstein. Didn't President Trump toss Jeffrey Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago 15 years ago because President Trump saw that Jeffrey Epstein was a creep? I think that's the evidence. Yeah, and my analogy is if you hung out with OJ or Bill Cosby, you thought you were hanging out with a great charismatic guy, and it turns out he's just the opposite.

So why didn't you pull the Epstein files? Why didn't you search to see if Donald Trump was involved in something unsavory? Because maybe you did and you found out he wasn't. Cut 26 is Rokana. I'm very proud of Samralee for her leadership in getting a bipartisan subpoena.

That means that the DOJ will have to give the files to the Oversight Committee, and we need to make sure that we. And he goes on to say, cut 27. We, during the Biden administration, had two releases of documents. The courts ordered the documents released in 2021, and the courts ordered them released in 2024. And I am on record having supported Elijah Cummings at Oversight, calling for more of a hearing about Epstein's death and the impact on victims.

So it's not true that there wasn't focus on that. Bro, Connor, weighing in. It was true. There was no focus on it because the guy killed himself in prison. A lot of questions are out that.

It is one of those conspiracy things that I just hope people who are conspiratorial by nature understand sometimes they don't pan out. And that's what this is going to end up, in my view. I'm going to see you on One Nation Sunday at 10 p.m. Don't miss it, but I'm also hosting Will Kane Show today at 4 p.m. At Sunday at 10, Tom Cotton's going to be with us.

Speaker Johnson's going to be with us. And I'm going to teach you how to live longer right away.
