Manhattan. It's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. Hi, everyone. Thanks so much for being here.

Hope your weekend was great. We are back in action today. This hour, we're going to be joined by Lawrence Jones, Fresh Off Fox and Friends. I pretty much roped him into it. He had nowhere to go.

I took his pass away. He had to come right from the first floor to the 15th floor. Molly Hemingway, by her own volition, will join us at the bottom of the hour, Fox News contributor, editor-in-chief of the Federalist. Of course, if you watched the ceremony yesterday, five, six hours, thanks so much for watching One Nation After. And then we have the other breaking news.

And there's so much going on today because the UN is in town and 150 world leaders are here and they need to be protected and they got to gum up all the roads.

So before we get to Lawrence, let's get to the big three. Number three. Father, forgive them. for they not know what they do. That man.

That young man. I forgive him. Memorial like no other, the life of Charlie Kirk, investigation of the assassination, and where turning point turns from here, we'll discuss it all. Number 10. I wasn't in control.

It wasn't my fault. It was somebody else. I'm like, then who's in control? If you want to step into the political arena, you stand on your own two feet, you make tough decisions, and you own them, and you have a vision and a strategy. And I don't think it came through in this case.

That is a former Bernie Sanders. operative who is now a democratic Operative who says this about Kamala Harris. Blast her party, blast her after she blasts her party. The mayor's race divides the Democratic Party too. Why do the Dems seem so divided while being out of power?

Number one. Fox News has learned from a senior Trump administration official that Hamas has drafted a personal letter to President Trump asking him to guarantee a 60-day pause in the fighting in exchange for immediately releasing half of the hostages. That was Trey Yinks in his original reporting right from Israel. Israel is in the crosshairs, though, as the world comes to town. The U.S.

firmly on their side. Everyone seems to be, including our allies, recognizing a Palestinian state But where and what does it mean? Since when do you abandon the only democracy in the Middle East? And Lawrence, let's start from there. I mean, first off, immediately people say, well, who cares if France, the UK, Australia, Portugal, other Western countries join about another 140 in recognizing a Palestinian state?

It's a non-starter. But it does complicate things internationally, diplomatically for Israel. in the UN as well as when you look at um The president and the deals, the peace treaties that he's trying to accomplish all over the world is caving. And Brian, I continue to make the point: who is the government then? If we're going to acknowledge them as a state, then who is the government?

Hamas.

So we watched Prime Minister Starmer answer Peter Doocy. He said, Why do you recognize the Palestinian state? He goes, First off, we don't recognize Hamas.

Well, do you understand what we're dealing with here? Do you have been paying attention at all? Can you get out of your think tank into the real world?

So, this is what they're saying. Here are the consequences. That if it provides a basis for a complete revision of bilateral relations with Israel. A country that recognizes Palestine has to review agreements with Israel to make sure they do not violate its obligations to the Palestinian state. This would include political, territorial integrity, as well as economic, cultural, social, and civil relations.

So now, all of a sudden, you're going to be dealing with them like they're a true state when it was pretty clear they're not a state. They were created really in the 1950s. Yeah, but also, Brian, who's going to manage the death and destruction there? I mean, you gotta ask yourself a question. Why don't any of the neighbors want to take their people?

It's because they're chaotic. There's a lot of radicals there, and they don't want them staring up trouble. Jordan doesn't want it, Saudi Arabia doesn't want it, Egypt doesn't want it.

So, I mean, if you guys are going to acknowledge them, are you going to be there to make sure that they don't invade the border again and we have another October 7th?

Well, no, they want to keep that border closed in Egypt, and they don't want to let anyone into Jordan.

So, here's the letter. And you tell me if this deal is a non-starter or a starter. Trey says. That they are going past Benetanyahu to Qatar in order to get a direct letter to Trump. Listen to his story, Cut 25.

Fox News has learned from a senior Trump administration official and a second source directly involved in the negotiations that Hamas has drafted a personal letter to President Trump asking him to guarantee a 60-day pause in the fighting in exchange for immediately releasing half of the hostages being held inside Gaza. We understand this letter is currently with the Qataris and is expected to be delivered to the president this week. Remember, there are still 48 hostages being held by the terror group inside the Gaza Strip. It's estimated around 20 are believed to be alive. And the negotiations were moving forward, but earlier this month, the Israelis launched airstrikes against Hamas inside the Qatari capital of Doha.

They have been stalled ever since. But officials hope this letter will help to jump-start the conversations and ultimately get President Trump directly involved to try and reach an agreement to get the hostages home and end this war. Your thoughts? First of all, the president is already directly involved. I think the deal is a non-starter.

When what I see first of all The second of all Hamas hasn't honored the past deals. They haven't done what they were supposed to do with the past deals. Why would we give them another way to regroup and reshape again? I think it starts where the president said the last time: release all of the hostages first. No more these one-offs, half here, a quarter of the hostages.

You have to release them all. Then we can talk about other things.

So we'll talk about that as it progresses because at the UN, that's going to be the story today. Of course. Lawrence, I also want to talk about the great coverage yesterday with Kaylee McEniny on the memorial that lasted between five and six hours. I was amazed. It just went perfectly from the size of the crowds, the behavior, no violence.

The overflow went to a nearby arena. The others just stand on the outside with the big screens. They estimate the New York Post, 200,000 people showed up. I mean, this is free. I got it.

But no one had any guaranteed seats.

So he showed up anyway and noticed no violence. Before we get into some of the sound, your thoughts.

Well, thanks, Brad. But I I am uh more impressed how uplifting it was. I mean Conservatives have every reason to be upset right now. And the spirituality that was there, the return to God, to faith, the continuation of the movement, it was not depressing at all. It was very uplifting.

And I think that says a lot about the movement. As Erica Kirk said, there was no violence. Right. But yet, some people are not in support. Tone deaf, and I think just unbelievably ignorant about who he was and what were they doing.

I mean, think about the squad in particular. All of them sounded off, it seems, against Charlie Kirk, cut 10. We don't have to agree with every single word. Um but I do believe he was a reprehensible, hateful man. Like, that is my view of the words that he has said about every single.

identity that I belong to. He didn't believe that we should have equal access to anything. He also just didn't even believe I could be smart enough. I could have thoughts that could be equal to a white man. I Where are we missing this conversation about who this man was and the things that he said?

That's not true. That's not true. No, he did he did not say that and and you heard it yesterday. With all of the tales and the stories of Charlie. And I just think it's very evil and disgusting to say that when the man was assassinated for what he believed in and he's not alive to defend himself.

And he would have definitely engaged on that. He would have welcomed that approach. But AOC was even worse, cut 11. We should be clear. about who Charlie Kirk was.

A man who believed that the Civil Rights Act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake. Who, after the violent attack on Paul, claimed that, quote, some amazing patriot. Unquote, should bail out. His brutal assailant. And accused Jews of controlling, quote, not just the colleges.

It's the nonprofits, it's the movies, it's Hollywood, it's all of it. Unquote. His rhetoric. I mean, this is at this point. Defamation.

Right. Defamation. He was close. Netanyahu, the Jewish state. Do you think Netanyahu would be supporting Charlie Kirk if he was anti-Jewish?

But there's a sense on the podcast world with certain people pointing out that he was threatened by Ken Ackman. Out in the Hamptons saying if you don't change your tune, you're going to basically regret it. And he changed his tune on Israel. That's what people are saying, but it's just not true. There's people that were at those meetings to that point because, Brian, you're right, the conspiracies that are going on, even before he was even put into the ground, were just not true.

The people who were at those meetings said that that didn't take place. And Erica Kirk. Apparently, he is going to have to respond to some of these conspiracies on his show today. Yeah. And by the way, this one you picked up too.

Jonathan Carl on ABC was in the crosshairs of Donald Trump this week. He hosted, pointed out some things I thought were positive and very. level-headed about Charlie Kirk, but he also added this, cut twelve. The 31-year-old activist murder shocked the nation, and it was condemned by sensible and compassionate people in and out of politics. and across the political spectrum.

It has also been senselessly celebrated by some, a small minority, who didn't like what Kirk stood for and thought it was somehow therefore justified. Celebrating or excusing violence is abhorrent. The murder of Charlie Kirk was not a political act, it was a gruesome crime. His alleged killer now faces the death penalty. Our thoughts this morning are with the Kirk family of especially as two young children who will now grow up without their father.

Not a political act. Excuse me, sir. It was both. It was a gruesome murder and a political assassination. He was doing so well, but he couldn't just state the obvious.

We have gotten an investigation. We knew what the assassin's inspirations were. His parents have been vocal about the radicalization and things that were taking place. His cousins, people at the dinner table with him. We've seen text messages as well.

He said why he did it. We don't have to speculate about this anymore. Yeah, I mean, he said that it was hates at something that can't be discussed. I'm glad to kill him instead. We're going to come back and talk a little bit more.

We have to talk about Kamala Harris's book. I thought it was going to be In N-Out Done just as something to launch her political, relaunch her political career. I think it's something different. But I do think she still wants to run. I want to get Lawrence Jones' perception on that and yours after that.

1866-408-7669. I'll be able to take calls at 15 to the top of the hour, and Molly Hemingway will be at the bottom of the hour. Lawrence Jones, a few more minutes, don't move. Giving you everything you need to know. You're 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. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show.

Charlie and I were united in purpose. His passion was my passion. And now his mission is my mission. Everything that Turning Point USA built through Charlie's vision and hard work. We will make ten times greater through the power of his memory.

So that was Erica yesterday. She's going to maybe be on the podcast today, and then she's probably going to be in the University of Minnesota tonight. Lawrence said, we were just playing some of the cuts, the ridiculous way that they're characterizing Charlie Kirk with the squad and others. I just think they ought to be embarrassed. At some point, they have to have a staffer that goes, there were 200,000 people that showed up.

People don't show up for racists, sexists. They don't show up for people that are good at being politicians. In fact, you didn't hear Democrat or Republican at all. No, it was about values, and it was a return to faith. I I just wish people would do me a favor.

And this is not just for Charlie, but all the people in the public sphere. Don't just watch the clips. Watch the full context. A lot of the things that they're saying that Charlie said. are being completely taken out of proportion, not in the full context of what he's saying.

And when you do that, you manipulate certain words. It's straight up defamation. He enjoyed the back and forth. Right. I want to talk about Kamala Harris.

She has this book coming out, and I'm sure it's going to sell now. But the question is: did she write it just to set the record straight the way she saw it? Or did she write it to help launch a presidential campaign? Because a lot of experts just can't figure it out. I'm watching everybody over the weekend because she blows up everybody.

She tells Governor Whitmer, earns a mention for her caution and hesitancy to step out on her behalf. Mark Kelly, yeah, he praises him as magnetic, but frets that he had not yet had an O-blank moment in his political career. She feared his military service could be weaponized. People to judge, I would have named him my pick if he wasn't gay. Governor Josh Shapiro wanted to know how many bedrooms were in the vice presidential residence and seemed too ambitious.

Does this seem like something for somebody who is looking to take on a debate stage full of potential rivals? No. I will say this: I think this is her hope. It's quite delusional. I'm not saying I believe this, Brian.

But I think her hope is to burn down the Democratic Party. and burned down her opponents as well. And she thinks that she's gonna rise with the ashes when it's all done. I don't think it's going to go that way. I think her political career is over.

I thought it was over anyway, and she does not have any juice around her. We've seen it before. She didn't have them before. I mean, like, did you say to yourself, oh, Tim Kaine, I can't wait for him to run after Hillary Clinton lost? Right?

Of course, John Edwards, did you go after John Kerry lost? You go, oh, if you only can't wait for John Edwards, of course, they ran. It was a non-starter. David Oxarod, kind of like Kaul Rove on the right. He'll call it like he sees it.

He says, if there is a political strategy here, it's a bad one. There's an awful lot of grievance and finger pointing that really doesn't serve a political agenda. Right. Well, it doesn't serve a political agenda. She takes no accountability as well.

She never says, I made a terrible decision when I did this. And She blames the whole campaign.

Well, she's in charge of the campaign.

So, if you can't run a political operation. Then, how can you be the president of the United States?

Now, think about this.

So, you got Kama Harris trying to be the standard, blowing everything up. Then you have. On the Democratic side, the leadership doesn't know what to do with the New York City mayor candidate. Schumer goes, I'm still studying. What are you studying?

Don't ask me again. Keem Jeffries, I'm in talks. What are you talking about? Just name it. I have a Democratic Party leader.

I'm not endorsing him. Really? You're not endorsing him.

Okay. That's fine. Gillibrand, I'm not endorsing him. But who is? You know, I don't know.

I mean, you just have some leaders like Elizabeth Warren goes to endorse them. Bernie Sanders loves him. AOC sponsors them. That's a divide by definition of what I just said. Did I even mention a Republican?

They lack courage. Courage. Say whatever you want to say about the never Trumpers and everything. And I think they're wrong a lot the Liz Cheney. But at least they were willing to blow up their political career for what they believed in.

I disagree with them. But at least they took the gamble and said, How do it? The Democrats don't have that. Is there any leader? That will speak with mor moral clarity.

Sarah Fetterman. I mean. Exactly. But he's in a moderate state and he's willing to do it from that standpoint. Chuck Truman has the biggest out.

He can say, look. I'm a Jewish American. What he said, he's against my people. I can't stand with that. That's all he has to say.

On that issue alone. People can say, okay, I get it. He wrote a book about anti-Semitism, but yet he still doesn't know if he should endorse an anti-Semitic candidate. Right. Why can't Dana Bash ask him that?

I mean, that's just it. Why can't you ask him? You just sort of believe about anti-Semitism. Look at this quote: what he said about Jews. Look at what he said about globalizing Tifada.

They are afraid of. The mob. And the mob are the young people, the socialists, the people that are screaming in the middle of the street like little jihadis from the river to the sea, globalized to Antifada. And Mandami, those are his people. And those are the people that host all the parties, that show up to all of the rallies, and the anchors.

And the establishment are afraid of. But Shapiro, Bashir, and others that want to be moderates are not going to subscribe to that, and they think they'll be successful. I'm not sure. Lawrence, thanks so much. Great job last night.

I appreciate you. Yesterday, I should say. Back in a moment with Molly Hemingway. You'll see the Brian Kill Meet Show. 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. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. And I want all of you to know.

While Charlie died far too early, He was also ready to die. There was nothing. Nothing he was putting off. There was nothing that was too hard or too painful or nothing that he just felt like he didn't want to do it. He left this world without regrets.

He did 100% of what he could every day. But I want you to know something. Charlie died with incomplete work. But not with unfinished business. That is a fantastic line, and it's so it's so accurate.

Molly Hemingway in studio fresh off taking a red eye from the Memorial, Fox News contributor, editor over the Federalist Molly. Your takeaway from being there. It was just a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It was just amazing too. To be there with so many people.

I hadn't really ever been in that size of a crowd before. And to have just hour after hour of all sorts of different people, whether they were pastors or politicians, testifying to what they were saying was the most important thing in the world, which was their faith in Jesus Christ. It was a really healing event. I mean, it just even didn't see a single squabble or scuffle. Everyone was so nice and generous with everything, and it was.

an unbelievable feeling to be there in that in that stadium. It's interesting. You didn't hear like Republican or votes. You didn't hear anything about elections. You know, hey, he did this, and he played a big role.

You just talked about what type of person he was and what he tried to do. He tried to persuade people. And I also thought in the end, They put together this event, which how many people would you say? I mean, I'm not a crowd counter, but there were so many people outside by the time I got in. And when I got in, it was pretty full.

So I don't know.

So you say 70,000 on the inside. Yeah. And then you had another 8,000 in arena. Yeah, but probably a lot of people just didn't get in and went home, too. Yeah.

And so, yeah, if you traveled, you'd probably try to stay somewhere in the vicinity.

So you have all these people show up. They didn't know what exactly to expect.

Now, if you're a turning point in USA, you got to do the impossible. You got to say to yourself, okay. These horrific these last 10 days have been horrific. But our program is now quite quadrupled or Or grown ten times the size. You have seventy thousand plus applications for chapters.

The business part, the management part comes in. How do you harness this momentum? I don't know how they did this in such a short period of time. I mean, a massive event, a level one security event. Dignitaries and people coming in from all over, and it went so well, and it was so well done.

It was a testament to that turning point team. And I mean, if you know them, Charlie wasn't the only one there who was doing really good work. But I also liked that they didn't you know, this is an organization that's a nonprofit that's focused on civics education. They've got a political action side also that was doing so much work in recent elections in terms of ballot chase. But it's just the thing that came through more than anything is, yes, Charlie was assassinated for his political views.

But he was also martyred for being a Christian. And that martyrdom was front and center. Of the whole event. And so I don't know how they dealt with their grieving and putting on that event, but they did, and it's a real testament to that organization.

So I asked Andrew Colvet last night on my show, One Nation, about what has to happen now, cut eight. Everybody has to play their own role the way that they are wired, right? And so Erica is going to be her own type of CEO. But I will tell you Brian, she is an amazing, amazing human. I mean, everybody already knows this from watching her speak and the strength that she gathered.

You know, in the most incredible of circumstances and with tragedy all around us, she found the strength to address a grieving nation that really needed to hear from her. And I will just say that that same strength that she exhibited on that stage tonight and on the Friday after Charlie was assassinated. She has that innately in her.

So, and you'll have to do that. Tonight's going to be the University of Minnesota. They're going to keep moving, you know.

Well, it was interesting. I was sitting right behind the TPUSA staff, and while they were happy about it, yeah, they were happy about everyone. Being there, but when Erica spoke, I mean, they were on their feet, they were cheering, they clearly love her and are willing to follow her wherever she leads, but also. The board seems very impressed with her. And you can just see, I mean, that speech, the strength emanating from that woman.

at that time was You know, her d uh during the memorial was just amazing to witness. And also that moment where President Trump hugs her and she burrows into his shoulder was also another, you know, just a visual that was, that lingers with you.

So I thought about Hulk Hogan. Do you remember Hulk Hogan came out and said, you know, I've been friends with Trump for a while. I stay out of the political process. I didn't want to alienate people that didn't want it, didn't like Trump. And then after Trump almost got killed, he called him up and he goes, I'm out.

Do you need me? And he said, yeah, I need you. Start campaigning for him. He goes to Madison Square Garden, goes to the RNC, becomes an outward Trump supporter. How many people do you think?

or on college campuses right now who are leaning conservative, thought this is my values. I don't like some of this wokeness all around me. I'm going to keep my mouth shut and just graduate. How many people do you think saw that and said, I'm gonna come out. I'm gonna go out and start speaking my mind.

So, as it is said, courage is contagious. If you see someone being courageous, and with Charlie to the point of assassination. He knew he was under constant security threat. That was one of the interesting things. I thought Don Trump Jr.'s speech was really interesting, really well done.

And he talks about how when he started doing events with Charlie, they'd be on campuses and they would face very serious threats and Charlie would say, we're still going forward. When you see someone else do that, you think, you know what, I have been cowering. In silence, while my friends and family say things I know not to be true. And look at what that's gotten us in this country.

So many normal people who just want to live in a place where truth is spoken, such as men can't become women, or America is a great country and you shouldn't hate it. These basic truths that people have been bullied into silence over, I think what you're seeing in this moment is a lot of people saying, I was wrong to be cowardly in that moment. I'm not going to do it anymore. A lot of discussion yesterday about courage is a choice, and all you have to do is just choose. Choose to do it.

It doesn't require skill or talent. As Charlie said, you just do it. And so I do. You can hear it in the zeitgeist, but people are definitely saying they want to push back against some of this leftist totalitarian insanity that the country has been suffering. And now I'm not sure who the mainstream Democrat is, besides guys like Harold Ford and Senator Fetterman, but the one who gets most of the heat is the squad and Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett.

She did not stop yesterday. I'm sure you were traveling or you were at the memorial. Here's a little of what she said when they said, you know, basically, is it time to turn back the rhetoric a little bit? Here's Cut 16. I think that my responsibility is to be transparent and to be honest.

And the reality is that we are living in a time in which this administration and this regime is not interested in making sure that people understand history. We need to understand why they are so problematic. And so I am using that language because it is accurate language. When we see the consolidation of power, when we see them trying to chill speech of jokester, when we're seeing all of this, that is a playbook out of Hitler, and I won't deny it. Like, these are the facts.

He thinks she's helping. I think most normal people say. when someone is assassinated in part because they believed some pretty crazed left wing rhetoric about Charlie that was a lie, and and they see this type of response, it's just gross. It's horrific. Most normal people are going to react negatively to that.

I think Democrats the Democrats who were smarter were, as you mentioned, Senator Fetterman, who just had nice things to say about Charlie. Probably did not agree with him on much, if anything, but was able to be a decent human being in a moment when the entire country except for that fringe on the left that's celebrating. the vast majority of people are mourning. Everyone knows an assassination of a political opponent is a breakdown of society that is you know, President Trump had a line about how the bullet was aimed at Charlie, but it it was against everyone in America. And that's because we do believe We should reason together.

We should come to, you know, we should make decisions based on debate. And this was an attack on that fundamental principle we have.

So, do you know that Elvis' death in 1977 drew an estimated 80,000, 14,000 for Muhammad Ali in Louisville? 1968, two massive services were held for Martin Luther King Jr., one in Atlanta and the other at Morehouse College. Total, 150,000 people, which is impressive. But this front likely surpassed it. And this guy's 31 years old.

I mean, it didn't, this guy, it was a national figure to people who are really astute or happened to be coming up in college. I just noticed that every 18-year-old or 20-year-old I talked to and go, oh, yeah, we heard of Charlie Kirk. This was like a quiet fame. I think you know among young people in particular just having someone Bold enough to speak back against some of this insanity that college students are subjected to, or even high school students. I was struck that it was the member of my family who is the least political.

who was most devastated. By Charlie's assassination. Because she liked to watch his videos about how he would try to reason with people with different Beliefs and she would watch them and try to follow them so that she could speak that way to her friends. And she's not very political. And so you think about how many people were learning from that.

from that. I mean that's why it's what was done in assassinating Charlie really was a major major blow against the conservative movement. I mean, it's it's irreplaceable. It's really bad. But also.

If you know hundreds of thousands or even millions of people respond By deciding to Then Fight for America in their vocations. It will not be for naught. I mean, just think about it, on a much lesser note. Remember after Trump wins the election in twenty sixteen. They go, well, how do you do it?

Well, Drudge was a conservative publication, number one website.

Somehow Drudge got bought by people that make it look like the Huffington Post now. And then the NP uh NRA. Unbelievably strong organization that President Trump totally was embraced by Trump and vice versa. One of the first things that was done is they went after and sued the NRA and just totally destabilized it. Just like after the Tea Party was so strong against Obama in destroying him in the midterm elections, by the time he runs for reelection, the Tea Party has been sued into oblivion.

So this is their web.

Now this is much bigger. But how do you stop him? Is this the o this is the only way to stop him to kill him? Not just sued into oblivion in the case of the Tea Party, you had a concerted effort by the IRS under Barack Obama to To not certify any of the political groups that were coming up out of the Tea Party just for political gain. I mean, that's something that happened.

We've seen lawfare, we've seen attacks, we've now seen assassination, but a lot of that was allowed by. You know, so many people in the media decided to make it seem like if you were Republican or voted Republican, you were not fit for polite society. You had members of Congress saying, If you know a Republican, don't let them eat dinner in peace. And this type of fight against what they called normalization. You know, there's a straight line from that into political violence.

And people Did not do enough to fight back, including in the conservative establishment or the Republican establishment. They kind of just acted like it was okay to treat their voters like second-class citizens. And that cannot happen in the future if you want to have a country. And I think a lot of people realize that. And look, look at what they went after Trump.

They go, We're going to destroy this guy. We might even put him in jail or house arrest. And then we're going to take all his assets. Remember, Letitia James thought she'd be selling off Trump Tower, sitting in Trump Tower, selling it off. If it wasn't for Trump walking through fire, They took a battle to remove him from the ballot to the Supreme Court.

I mean, that's just...

So un-American. And that's, oh, actually, that was kind of what was interesting. You were pointing out how many people were there and how just what a large crowd. It didn't, it wasn't an overtly political. Thing, which is funny because you had cabinet secretaries, the vice president, the president himself.

But there was this theme of Americans are coming together. And this small fringe minority on the left has had way too much power, and they cannot destroy the country.

So it was kind of like Americans, even if not everybody agrees politically, versus the people who want to destroy America. And I noticed I flipped channels just to have a perspective helps me with this show and everything else.

So I flipped. They did very few cutaways in CNN, but at least they covered it. Fox was brilliant. Yeah, you always had somebody in the other box, along with the podium, who was fantastically produced. Do you know what MSNBC had?

One single shot didn't even look like it was white balanced. And it looked off-key, you know. It looked so like, why bother? The audio wasn't that good. And then they quickly went back to a panel, they talked about it for two minutes, and then they just changed gears.

I just think that that's terrible. If I'm a news director there, I don't care what the message is. Like, what's going on when you're actually trying to get people to actively turn away from your channel because you're not producing it right? But it was interesting. There were so many media there.

I mean, it was a massive area for media. And I met someone who was with Norwegian television, and he was saying that they streamed the rally. on their television station channel in Norway. I mean, this is a global event.

So if Nor if Norwegian television is broadcasting the rally in real time. MSNBC could do it. I want to get you before you go real quick, weigh in on Kama Harris. What if you know of the book on the excerpts? Is she looking to launch her political relaunch her political career or destroy it?

Hmm. I don't know if she, I mean, it's so funny. She's one of those people who makes a really good impression at first blush, and then almost immediately it kind of goes away. And so she made a big flash when she was in the Senate. She had that initial run for president where she ended up not getting a single primary vote.

I don't know if she has the best instincts. But also, what I keep on picking up in all of the excerpts they've released thus far is she's unwilling to accept personal responsibility for how bad she is at running for office or refusing to do interviews and for the whole thing. It's always everybody else's fault. Joe Biden did this. And I mean, of all people in the world, she should have been the leader to stand up and say the president actually is not fit to serve right now.

David Oxelrod said, if there's a political strategy here, it's a bad one. You said there's an awful lot of grievances and finger-pointing that really doesn't serve a political agenda. I do believe that she thinks this will help her. Because she's going to be competing against Shapiro. She's going to be competing against who knows, Governor Waltz, but I not real.

Mark Kelly, Governor Whitmer, Gavin Newsome. And she took little shots of them right there. And I think that she knows she's going to have to brawl before she gets to the finals. And I think that I'm not saying I agree with it, but there's no way she has nothing else to do. Yeah, she may be trying to preserve her options.

Also, she might be looking for, you know, she doesn't have the work ethic that's required to be a political campaigner.

So maybe she's just trying to have a role, an elder stateswoman role in the party or something where she can make money speeches, doing speeches or other stuff. And that's actually what I was just thinking. Joe Biden was out recently saying he, you know, he's frustrated that nobody's paying him half a million dollars per speech, like happens for a lot of Democrat politicians. And I'm like, I think the reason why is because nobody is confident he could make it through a speech. Exactly.

Much less how unfavorable he is to many people right now. Molly Hemingway, thanks so much for your perspective on the event. And where are we going to see you again? Are you going to be unoutnumbered? Outnumbered here in a little bit.

That's all you can ask at noon Eastern here on the Fox News channel. Don't move. Newsmakers and newsbreakers. Hear it first on the Brian Kill Meat Show. Recently, we asked some people about sharing their New York Times accounts.

My name is Dana. I am a subscriber to the New York Times, but my husband isn't. And it would be really nice to be able to share a recipe or an article or compete with him in Wordle or Connections. Thank you. Dana, we heard you.

Brian Kilmead. Hey, we are back just a few more minutes. Yesterday, the president, in giving his great speech in honor of Charlie Kirk, came out. And he said something about a big announcement when it comes to autism, Cut 31. Tomorrow we're gonna have one of the biggest Announcement really medically, I think, in the history of our country.

We're going to be doing it with Bobby and Oz and all of the professionals. I think you're going to find it To be amazing. I think we found an answer. To autism. How about that?

Autism. All right, and he talked about the role that Tylenol might be playing for the pregnant mom. They talked about, I hope I say this right, Lavoricorin. Lavoracorin is typically prescribed to counteract some medications and side effects to treat vitamin B9 deficiency, which they think. also helps lead to autism.

Early double blind placebo control trials administered that to children and autism have shown that some science describes a remarkable improvement in their ability to speak and understand.

So they're trying everything. They're trying to change everything at once. The Maha Movement front and center today. From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmead.

Arbul and Brian Kilmead here. Thanks so much for listening. Appreciate you. We got Michael Goodman at the top of the hour. And we're gonna be allowing the breaking news.

We know the UN's gotten into town, so you got 150 world leaders here. There's gonna be news being made, and today it's all about Israel, and we'll get into that shortly. About Israel and the recognition of a Palestinian state which will never exist.

Okay? Never exist. Maybe it'll be somewhere else in the Middle East, but not the way we've been talking about it for the last 40 years. It's not going to happen. They had their chance, they walked away from it.

Never gonna happen.

So these Western leaders who are just kissing up to their Arab audience that is growing by the truckloads because they have let their borders be overwhelmed and their country. Just be destroyed. If you see what's happening in the UK, you will see what's happening in France. We'll talk about that in a moment with Michael Goodwin. And keep in mind, too, as we come to you from 48th and 6th in Midtown, Manhattan, if you are in the area, expect to get nowhere quickly.

The speed limit is ten miles an hour. Big three. Number three. Father, forgive them. For they not know what they do.

That man. That young man, I forgive him. Uh Eric Eric. Uh Kirk. Memorial like no other.

The life of Charlie Kirk's investigation of the assassination and where turning point turns from here. We'll talk about it. Number two. I wasn't in control. It wasn't my fault.

It was somebody else. I'm like, ooh, then who's in control? You want to step into the political arena? You stand on your own two feet, you make tough decisions, and you own them, and you have a vision and a strategy. And I don't think it came through in this.

That is a Democratic strategist talking about what appears to be in Kamala Harris's book released this week. She blasts her whole party. Oh, by the way, the mayor's race in New York divides the Democratic Party. Why are the Dems in such disarray? Number one.

Fox News has learned from a senior Trump administration official that Hamas has drafted a personal letter to President Trump. Asking him to guarantee a 60-day pause in the fighting in exchange for immediately releasing half of the hostages.

So we'll see where that goes. That was Trey Yinks' original reporting. Israel in the crosshairs of the world, but it has the U.S. firmly on its side as they try once and for all to finish off Hamas in Gaza City. We'll talk about the damage our allies are doing to the lone democracy in the Middle East.

Michael, does it surprise you? We got France, the UK, we got Portugal, Australia among our so-called allies joining the 130 plus, now up to 140, that say we're going to recognize a Palestinian state. Yeah, good morning. Brian, look, I think there are two elements at work here. I think you were absolutely right that it was.

to appease their domestic audiences when it comes to the Europeans. uh nations doing this. It's it's so crazy because They're not talking about borders. They're not talking about any kind of viability It's just i it's almost like on paper. We recognize a Palestinian state.

Oh, where is it?

Well, we'll get back to you on that. And what and what about uh Israel's security? Yeah, we'll work that out later too.

So This seems to be like a a gesture. uh meant to uh suggest uh goodwill. But what good is That when you have Hamas still the strongest Palestinian power. Where where are the Palestinians? I think that's a good idea.

Where are those who want to live in peace with Israel? Right now, the loudest voice. among the Palestinian people. is is a mosque. It is the man with the gun.

And that It it So it's not like you're setting up a viable situation. But if you were even to attempt to draw borders for such a state, You would be creating a new war.

So, by the way, put Canada in that category, too.

So, and Prime Minister Starmer, who says, We do categorically Hamas a terror group and they will not be in charge. Really? Have you noticed what's going on? The only reason they're not still in charge at the moment and fighting for their lives is because Israel has ignored everybody and knows that Hamas, if allowed to stay in any way, shape, or form, will be a threat again to kill another 1,200 innocent people. Listen to President Trump when asked about this, Cut 24.

You know a lot of my opinions and Remember this, you can't forget October 7th either. People are forgetting October 7th. They forget it too quickly. That was one of the worst days in world history. It was the most.

evil attack that I think you could really say babies were involved, little babies were involved. Having their heads chopped off and all of the things that took place. You can't forget that. I don't forget that. A lot of people do, but I don't.

Yeah, we're coming up in another year on October 7th, and he doesn't.

So, if you kill 1,200 innocent people, you'll get your statehood. That's the message. By the way, they were zeroing in on a deal on hostages. As soon as France was the first to come out and say, We're going to recognize a Palestinian state because they were frustrated how long the Gaza war is going on, that stopped Hamas from talking. They walked away because they said, We're getting what we want.

So, in 1933, they said, What is the deal? What does it take to be a country? They set out four elements. Let's look at them: number one: a permanent population. You could say they have a population, defined territorial boundaries.

They do not have that. A government and an ability to conduct international affairs. They do not have that. So, right away, two of the four they do not have. A recognition is official acknowledgement that a would-be state broadly meets those conditions.

It can occur even if the element, such as territorial boundaries, is disputable. Then, why even have the criteria? But this is what it does: here's a major consequence of it: it provides a basis for a complete revision of bylaws. Relations with Israel, and they say now they can look at them as a state in violation of a state.

So they're going to say that a country that recognizes Palestine has to review agreements with Israel to make sure they do not violate any obligations. Do you see how complicated this could get?

Well, and you're absolutely right, Brian. It takes no heed of the real world. That as President Trump has said other times. This is rewarding Hamas. And your point about You know, countries do this, Hamas withdrawals from any ceasefire.

Uh, I mean, what they're beast. To do what they do did on October 7th, but to be holding hostages to be keeping corpses. of dead hostages.

So the families are continuing to suffer. I mean, who does this? These are animals, these are not human beings. and the idea that you're going to reward them Uh in any way and that you can approach them. Uh as you would normal human beings.

and ask some kind of reciprocity or Or expect that they would abide by any agreement is ridiculous. The leaders of the West, this just shows the weakness of the West more than it does. Any viability of a Palestinian state which again without borders without security for Israel. cannot happen and cannot last.

So a couple of things. You realize when Joe Biden took office He immediately said the Houthis are no longer terrorist organizations and milified Saudi Arabia. What do you think that did with Israel?

Well, you realize when Joe Biden was in office, they said don't go into Lebanon. They've really eradicated Hezbollah to a degree no one thought possible. They're now not going to be a part of a government, might be able to establish relations. But by ignoring them, now everyone's taking credit for it. And then by Trump coming out and saying, Listen, Syria says I'm going to be open to joining the Abraham Accords.

We don't look at Israel as the enemy. Trump takes a tremendous leap.

So now they're no longer Iran takes a hit. Don't you bomb Iran? You're going to make everything worse. We're going to have a global war. Those podcast geniuses said that too.

They did it anyway because their future's at risk. And guess what? The menace of the Middle East has been neutralized, at least for now.

So every time they ignored, they acted on their own behalf, but it helped others in the region. The Houthis have been hit hard. They've lost a lot of their leaders because of the intelligence, the accuracy, and the execution of the Israelis. Why should they? They must be saying, why should we stop now?

You've never given me advice to help our country.

Well, that's right. Only because used its military and with the United States help, particularly in Iran, that you even have any kind of kind of progress, any kind of stability whatsoever. Israel was surrounded. Um People have called it a seven front war. and it has defeated each and every one of those enemies.

And you have some progress in Lebanon with the Lebanese government reasserting some authority. Uh oh and along the border with Israel. But elsewhere, you the Houthis you mentioned, I mean, it just get wor it just gets worse.

So this idea, I mean, I and you think of Armor, or in France, or Canada, or Australia, even, and you say, What would you do? if you were surrounded by your enemies and they threatened to destroy you and vowed to eliminate you, would you make peace? Would you give them what they want if they took s some of your citizens hostages? Yeah. just it's a dumb idea and it makes To me, it makes the West look so craven, and people like Putin.

Yeah. They look at that and say, look at these turkeys. I mean they're they're they're getting fat for the slow. I mean, they're easy. threats, they don't stand up for their values.

They don't.

So the France, the UK Portugal, they're concerned about Russia's expansion because they're going after an ally. Not even going after France, not going after the UK. No one's been a bomb. You know, this is not Hitler going after the Brits. But they're worried about that, and they want the world to react.

Now, Israel is fighting for their utter survival, being attacked by multiple sides. And they're like, you guys got to take it easy. You know, meanwhile, we have more reports in Israeli newspapers today, or websites, or whatever you want to call them today, but newspaper operations, that as where UN is trying to open up different pathways to get aid in, Hamas is firing on them.

So, I mean, do they not get these reports? Do they not understand?

Well, that's, I mean, there have been UN reports before that even. Yeah. Vast, the vast number of Aid truck. get hijacked once they're in Gaza. Um and only uh Maybe 10%.

Yeah. actually reach their destinations. Who do they think is stealing the food? It's Hamas. I mean it's It just boggles the mind, Brian.

So Charlie Kirk's memorial yesterday, five plus hours, your thoughts. I sat riveted to Uh It was an extraordinary moment, I think, in American history. And the mixing of uh religion and Christianity especially. uh with the government Um alarmed some people who who who hate Christianity. Um I found it extraordinary.

I thought. What uh Erica Uh with her forgiveness of the assassin was mind blowing. I mean, an extraordinary example Yeah. Christianity. Um Of the tenets of Christianity to forgive your enemies, to hate no one.

Uh I thought it was simply powerful, I mean just Just be I have never seen anything like it. I agree. And I think none of us have. I mean, this was a day to remember. Yeah, and I mean, I've never seen it, it was perfect.

Almost everybody was right on message, have a different perspective. They kept it moving. And I think there was no violence. There was no call to action except for to grow a youth organization that trumpets conservatism to empower people to push back against a concerted effort that's been lasting at least 40 years to make college campuses a place where wokeism thrives and DEI existed. But among the people that you write about that don't get it is Congresswoman Elon Omar, cut 10.

We don't have to agree with every single word, but I do believe he was a reprehensible, hateful man. Like, that is my view of the words that he has said about every single identity that I belong to. He didn't believe that we should have equal access to anything. He also just didn't even believe I could be smart enough. I could have thoughts that could be equal to a white man.

I I Where are we missing this conversation about who this man was and the things that he said? She knows nothing about him. It's a nice contrast, isn't it? Who who do Americans uh side with Charlie Kirk or Elan Omar? Who Which which would you have represent our country, represent its ideals, its hopes, its aspirations?

I think it's a pretty easy decision to make. And I think that's one of the things about yesterday, Brian, that really struck me is that This this call for a revival Of not only of Christianity in America, but a revival of American spirit. It really, I think, was something that none of us have seen in. you know, I mean, we've heard individuals say these things, but to see it and to see the government participate in it. I think it was a real line in the sand, in a way, in terms of.

This is who we are as a nation. And obviously, not everyone will agree with that. But I do think the Trump administration is now set up I think, in a way to rejuvenate the conservative viewpoint, the traditional American. Patriotism, I think it's there now, and it's embedded in this administration. And I think that the Table is set.

For a new revival. I hear you. Michael, thanks so much. You write about that in the New York Post, as usual. Michael Goodwin, thank you.

My pleasure. Brian, thank you.

Meanwhile, we're going to have a patriotic, inspirational, and motivational night on Saturday night, WRVA listeners, especially. Go to BrianKilme.com. Saturday night, it's going to be History, Liberty, and Laugh, streamed on Fox Nation. Hope to see you in person. We'll have VIP opportunities for a more intimate setting, about 80 people, 90 people.

Could get up to 110 people, is the biggest VIP we ever had was last time. And then we talk a little bit about what's going on in the news and give you a big, exclusive preview of what's going to be happening on the show. Don't move. Diving deep into today's top stories, it's Brian Kilmead. The talk show that's getting you talking.

You're with Brian Kilmead. Hey, welcome back. We'll be able to take some calls around the bend, but I want to take some now, too. I mean, we're talking about, we have not yet talked about it this hour, but Kamala Harris has a book coming out tomorrow. She goes after to a degree, Josh Shapiro to a degree, Governor Whitmer to a degree.

Senator Mark Kelly kind of says, Pete Buttigieg, great guy. Too bad he's gay.

Okay. So I'm not sure what the plan is. But to me, she absolutely is going to run. She's got nothing else to do. I know Stephen A.

Smith and David Oxarago, I don't see a political way you write this book and stay in politics. I think differently. She thinks it's not a good strategy, but it's a strategy. Russ, you're in Virginia. Hey, Russ.

Yes, good morning, Brian. I hope you're doing well this morning. What's on your mind? All go good. All right, sure, um I want to make a couple of important points.

Number one, I think the political speechifying should have been left out of it. It kind of reminded me of the Wellstone Memorial. I thought there was very little political stuff in there. When you go for five and a half hours. Yeah, I mean Mostly Donald Trump.

I just think that, you know, talking about, you know, how how good Chicago was going to be and how good Washington was going to be. you know, with his plans and stuff.

So I just think that should have been kind of left out of it. But the most important thing I would like to say this morning, Brian, is that I believe in the very near future that Charlie Cook will become beatified and then a saint.

Well, did you see Cardinal Doen on our couch on Friday? He says he just started reading and watching everything about him, and he compared him to St. Paul. And he didn't even see all of that. Think about this, Dalton.

Forces of evil have lined up so hard against this man. and all of the good people of the country and around the world have come Come to memorialize him. And I just think that it could possibly happen. Russ, I'll tell you what, I like to explore it. I don't know enough about it.

I don't know what it takes to be a saint. It's kind of the human being Hall of Fame, but it takes forever to study, it takes generations.

Well, we'll see. In a lot of times, generations. For Russ, I'd like to see it. I'd love to enter it. I'd like to see the whole thing examine.

I wish everybody would watch longer clips, not quick bites, of his exchanges with these students. He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Kill Me. When you had an opportunity as the Democratic nominee for the presidency of the United States of America. To address so many different issues.

And instead, what you did was go into protective mode. You wanted to show your loyalty or what have you, and then you lose the election. And what you want to do is point out all the reasons that you didn't win and point the finger of blame, it seems, in everybody else's direction instead of yourself. I don't think that she's going to have any support from the Democratic Party. I can tell you that much.

And then you have to take into consideration the level of support that she had coming in. This is an individual that was used to bypass what some would say the Democratic process is. There was no primary. You know, Stephen A. Smith is on his game on this.

I mean, he, a lot of times, he has broad stroke opinions about what goes on, and that's valuable. But I think he really got into detail on this. I think surprised many people that she looked at Kamala Harris's book, she looked at it as a candidate and thinks that this destroyed her. I don't. I don't feel like this destroyed her.

This is a tactical move to make her more bold and take more risks. If she really wanted to be honest, I'd like to know the people that told her: don't do any interviews, don't do any hostile interviews, make sure you do the interviews with your vice presidential nominee or nothing at all. Who told you to take forever to do your podcast and negotiate so long to do Joe Rogan? He basically walked away and said, screw it. I'm not going to go to you and go by and not bring up X, Y, and Z topics.

But she didn't do any of that. She did Alex Cooper, who's a very strong podcaster on the left, but she had so many demands, even the twenty four year old was taken aback by it.

So instead of acknowledging that, She goes out and writes a book that I think is going to sell. Judging by the stuff is in there, I think it's going to sell. But now it's put all her would-be opponents or allies. Against her. Doesn't matter.

Here is Faez Chukir. He used to work for Bernie Sanders, a Democratic strategist. Cut twenty one. And does she have a future or does she? I doubt it.

No, I mean, you gotta be somebody with people looking for people with conviction and integrity. In a time of corruption, economic corruption, political corruption, who's gonna have the honesty and integrity to stand up to power? And, you know, some of the decisions she's making, she says, I know, I wasn't in control. It wasn't my fault or somebody else. I'm like, who?

Then who's in control? You know, you don't listen to consultants and the donor class. If you want to step into the political arena, you stand on your own two feet, you make tough decisions, and you own them, and you have a vision and a strategy. And I don't think it came through in this. It doesn't.

It doesn't. It doesn't. She couldn't do anything ad-lib, nothing unscripted. Didn't want to distance herself from Joe Biden. I saw Hubert Humphrey the other day from the 1960s was asked, he was running for president.

He was LBJ's vice president. And they said, They said, you know, what would you do different from LBJ? And he goes, look. As a vice president, you have to support the president. It has a lot of responsibility, but absolutely no power.

And that's what I did, and I'm proud of that. Would there be some difference? Yeah. And that's why I'm running on my new campaign. Listen to what I'll do.

This is what I'm going to do. But when I'm Vice President, my job is to support the President. That's it. Ladies and gentlemen, that's your answer on the View. I mean, is there anybody on our staff with any sense of perspective about a vice president runs for president?

I mean, look up what George H.W. Bush said when he was forty one, before he was forty one, when Reagan was forty, and he's number two. Would there be anything different that you do from Ronald Reagan?

Well, I'm a vice president. I'm proud of what I did. As president, I'll be different, but there's going to be a different set of challenges four years ahead. It's not going to go back, and I'm not going to undo this board I did as vice president. And I love the line.

It has a lot of responsibility, but almost no power. She could not handle that, and nobody does really think that.

Now, David Axerrod came out and says: this has political benefit, he doesn't see it. Governor Josh Shapiro was called out basically when he was being screened to be a number two. We wanted to know how many bedrooms, and he was making demands about responsibilities and asking more questions, and he was actually taking in, so she decided he couldn't do the job.

Now he's getting confronted everywhere about this cut twenty. Here's what I can tell you, is that I made a point to speak to the people around the president repeatedly about what I saw were worrying signs here in Pennsylvania. And when I felt that they were not sharing that information directly with the president, I went directly to the president, to the former president, and shared that with him when we met at a coffee shop in Harrisburg. I was very direct and very blunt about what I saw were worrying signs electorally about his prospects to be able to win again.

So I believe in speaking directly to people when I've got something to say, and that's exactly what I did. Right. And then when you saw that and you saw that he could barely get a word out, did you say anything to anyone? You absolutely did not because you didn't have the courage to do it. Fetterman's the only one with courage.

Number two is the problem is you stopped fracking in Pennsylvania. You made a speech on that. I imagine you brought it up to him again. He told Speaker Johnson, he's just studying it, and they said, no, Mr. President, you signed a direct order to stop fracking in Pennsylvania.

What are you thinking? Alton in North Carolina. Hey, Alton. Brian. How you doing, Brian?

Great. What's your mind? Bye. Man, I'm just, you know, listening, you know, and just everything going on, man, I'm just, I just don't get how the Democrats can just sit and lie and lie and lie. Even when you see things with your own eyes, you know, that you know.

that they're lying about, you're like How are they doing this, young? Uh I know, I know, I hear ya. No, I hear ya. Uh but I'm going to make you make your Blood boil even more. I pulled this cut today because this is typical CNN.

You'll sit there and you'll maybe ask a tough question, too, but there's never any follow-up.

So they're asking about Jasmine Crockett. To you know, talk about everybody wants you to tone it down. We should tone it down in Washington. It's getting very violent, getting very scary. In fact, Trump just asked for $51 million more dollars to be able to protect his staff.

Listen to her just rant, Cut 19, and listen to what Dana Bash says after Cut 19. There is someone that is evidencing themselves, such as the president, who is going out and says, Yes, I will take a $400 million plane from a foreign government or is engaged in receiving crypto that we cannot track in exchange for, say, giving away Saudi Arabia.

So you could stop right there and say, Well, number one, it's a $400 million plane. You might not like it, but it's not his. It goes to the country and it was built by Boeing. They're basically giving it back. When it comes to crypto, they didn't profit at all.

The sons profit, they're in private business. That's something that's worth discussing, but he does not profit off that. Let's go. Such as the president who is going out and says, Yes, I will take a $400 million plane from a foreign government or is engaged in receiving crypto that we cannot track in exchange for, say, giving away chips to Saudi Arabia. No, we absolutely need to understand.

Let's pause. He's not giving away chips to Saudi Arabia. They want access to NVIDIA chips. They're doing it under a secure agreement. They've got to be able to build factories in Saudi Arabia.

That was what they're saying. That's a company that's going to benefit America. And Saudi Arabia, as problematic as it can be, it's certainly not a democracy, but it's making strides, is an ally in the region. We can continue. Things could cause us harm, or when he's cozying up to somebody like Vladimir Putin, it's not only a problem for us, but it's a problem for our allies when you have somebody like Poland that is like, yeah, this is what Russia's up to.

And the president is like, oh, that may have just been a mistake. We need to understand what all his business dealings are, even with Russia, because that has the potential of putting us in harm's way. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, thank you much for being here. Nice to see you. Do you believe, Alton?

She didn't even dispute one thing. Thanks for being here with Vladimir Putin, the sanctions it put on him, the meeting that they had was an opportunity for peace. Even our biggest critic, it's unbelievable. Yeah, she just talks to hear herself talk. But she gets ratings.

She's booked on the talk shows. She represents the Democratic Party. Just lies. People need to be challenged. Yeah.

You know, the cops ain't there to prevent crimes, or they're just there to solve them, right? Thanks for the call. Danny, you're over in Israel. Hey, Danny. Ryan, how are you doing?

Good. Brian, first, I totally agree with Michaels and your thoughts about the recognition of our quote unquote Palestinian state by the UK and France. Brian, today, Macron and Starmer joined the club of jihadist terror supporters, actually together with Iran and Turkey and others. They may be denied, Brian. But they actually approve what Hamas leaders said: that the recognition of a Palestinian state.

are the fruits of october seventh. Absolutely. Hamas is not me, Hamas.

So they know what they're saying. As for Israel Brown, The response to this meaningless piece of paper should be a massive and immediate building. Of residential houses and industrial zones in Jerusalem and the West Bank. See, I'm not for that.

Well, you're you're talking about on in New York, in New York City? You're talking about the UN building in New York City, or you're talking about the West Bank? No, I am I'm in Judea and Samaria and in Jerusalem. Build and build and build. This is the response to the So this Stupid recognition of the Palestinian state.

Well, yeah, Portugal Canada, Australia, the UK, France, All going out of their way to recognize a Palestinian state because they don't like the way Israel is conducting operations in Gaza. But they would never live near an enemy that rocketed them on a daily basis and executed 1,200 of their people. No one judged them about how they fought back against World War II. They didn't have smart bombs back then. A lot of people got killed.

Israel's dropping flyers first, providing pathways to exit, and not one civilian is targeted. Not one civilian is targeted, but sadly they do get in the way. Because Hamas insists on living amongst civilians in places like hospital schools and mosques. That's so true. Here is Benjamin Netanyahu on cut 30 on the chances of this Palestinian state actually coming to fruition.

You are giving a huge reward to terrorism. And I have another message for you. It will not happen. A Palestinian State will not be established west of the Jordan River. For years I have prevented the establishment of this terrorist state despite tremendous pressure, both domestically and internationally.

We did this with determination and we did it with diplomatic wisdom. Yeah. So he's not going to budge. Danny, you're in Israel. How much support is for Netanyahu right now if he would do a poll?

Uh You know, we can't know because it's very ambiguous the situation right now, Brian, until we will not clarify what happened with the hostages. it's going to be very hard to measure the support for Netanyahu. But for your comment about all other leaders, That approved the Palestinian state. Look, Brian, what's the common denominator between them?

Socialist, weak regimes. This is the common denominator between all of them. No Germany, no Hungary, no Italy. They do not recognize the Palestinian state. Only weak.

That have to placade the Islamic groups in their country. They do it for internal political interests. placate the Palestinian community in their country that they just let wild illegal immigration happen. Everyone, come one, come all. And now they have to deal with the after effects of that.

Uh Mike in New York. Hey, Mike. Brian. From Nassau County. Love your shows everywhere.

I'm from Long Beach. Relocated up State. retired NYPD boss worked for the U. S. Marshals.

Brian, let me tell you, this is so out of control with the immigrants. I mean We are so we're working sixteen hours now. And I'm retired from NYPD. I mean, you can't get a a cap on this. I don't know.

At least we slowed it down, people coming. But we watched the thousands. I saw it walking to Penn Station every day. You see them outside Roosevelt Field, or if I were going to Grand Central especially.

So you see it and that with the scooters and with everything that they were doing, the Randalls Island taking over the kids' fields.

So you're saying that we're not getting the true numbers that the NYPD knows how to skew those numbers? Yep, and and let me tell you, Brian, the numbers are not accurate. They are so overwhelming. Like I said, I'm with the Marshalls. We're working sixteen hours.

to just try to cap this. Amazing. That story's got to get out. Thanks so much for what you're doing, Mike. Appreciate it and stay safe.

Listen and follow the podcast five days a week at Foxnewspodcasts.com or wherever you download your favorite podcasts. Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Hey, we are back. And of course, it's UN week and we're going to have 150 world leaders coming into town, one of which Maduro wants to meet with Trump.

Trump's not going to meet with him. Why? Because he's got informants from the Cinodella. Um Cartel, who is basically pointed right, gave them all the information of how Maduro is behind almost all the drug use flowing into our country. Hence, three ships have been blown up full of drugs.

These guys are dead. I don't want them on trial. I don't want to see guys jump down in a zip line off a helicopter and put themselves in jeopardy. But what is behind that? Thor Halverson was on the fifth column podcast, and he talked about what led to this TDA deal where they flood the border and create chaos in our country.

Cut 36. Maluro saw what Joe Biden did and said, excellent opportunity. Let's empty out our prisons. It's exactly what the Cubans did. And so he emptied out.

No, no, no, no. The Cubans emptied out their prisons because they wanted to get rid of these criminals. Maluro emptied out the trendaragua because he wanted to make a deal with them and send them into the United States to be part of his machinery of selling Venezuelan drugs in the United States. And so that's that. Trendaragua is an app, he is the head of the trendaragua.

Trendaragua is an absolute set of, it's a machinery that exists. In the United States, then they collect the cash. The cache is put together. In containers, and it's shipped out of the United States ports in the state of Louisiana and in the state of Texas, and it goes to the Caribbean, and then it's repatriated to Venezuela. Note well, the United States does not look at containers, does not look at stuff that's leaving the United States, they look at stuff that's entering the United States.

The amount of bundles of cash, pallets of cash, that have left the United States from the illegal drug trade, put together by the Teneragua as their thanks so much for Maduro is a lot. That's incredible, and that is what Trump knows, and that's why it's so important. If you could dislodge Maduro and get that government, the government in exile in, that would be a major foothold for China, Russia, and Iran, all lost. And we might have an ally back in the region, which will be a profit engine for themselves mostly and great for the oil and gas overall. The price of oil and gas in the region.

Barry in Los Angeles. Hey, Barry. Yeah, Brian, uh we need to get Control these Europeans. The fact that The uh The Europeans and Australians were recognizing Palestine before they we saw the hostages. It's just Completely out tonight.

It is crazy, Barry. I'm going to add one other thing. They did stop buying. They said they have pledged to stop buying all oil and gas from Russia.

Well they better. And why and why is it three and a half years into the war that they've done this? They sit there and they can play. It's ridiculous.

So I know I'm sorry, but They had they have a lot more at stake in Russia, Ukraine than the US does. And the fact that, you know, I understand the first year in. not doing it, you know, trying to be easy on your people. But After that, they have no excuse. I hear you.

I'm watching it, Barry. But among the Democrat Party, I think Israel is about 30% approval. Its Republicans are the ones still going to bat for them. But we'll see. They got to get the Gaza war over quickly.

But yet, I hear if they go into Gaza City and there's no Hamas deal, that if they go in there, it's still going to take over to January to take over all of Gaza City. And then you got to see who's left. And there is a sense that the hostages have been already fanned out, which is really bad for the families and for them.

in Midtown Manhattan. It's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. Hi, everyone, from 48th and 6th in Midtown Manhattan. Heard around the country, around the world.

This is the Brian Kill Me Show. So glad you're here. We have a lot on tap today. Michael LaRosa standing by, and Seth Barron at the bottom of the hour. I know we're going to talk about New York with him, but he also was talking about.

some other things going on with the truth being Um ignored in Gaza. And I want to get his perspective on that and also bring in the mayor's race. There's a huge problem. The frontrunner, up by 20 points, nobody wants to endorse in leadership. And the people that do are calling out the people that haven't.

So, before we get to Michael LaRosa, former special assistant to Joe Biden, chief spokesperson for former First Lady Joe Biden, let's get to the big three. Number three. Father, forgive them. For they not know what they do. That man.

That young man, I forgive him. Yeah, that's pretty amazing. Can you imagine forgiving? Uh the assassin of your husband. Memorial like no other.

Life of Charlie Kirk. Investigation of his assassination and where turning point turns from here. Number two. I wasn't in control. It wasn't my fault.

It was somebody else. I'm like, then who's in control? If you want to step into the political arena, you stand on your own two feet, you make tough decisions, and you own them, and you have a vision and a strategy. And I don't think it came through in this case. And that is Pasir Shakur, who is a former Bernie Sanders strategist, now Democratic strategist, ripping Kamoa Harris as she blasts her party, it seems, and the mayor's race that divides the Democratic Party.

Why does it seem like they're in such disarray? Number one. Fox News has learned from a senior Trump administration official that Hamas has drafted a personal letter to President Trump asking him to guarantee a 60-day pause in the fighting in exchange for immediately releasing half of the hostages. That is what Trey Yanks reported this morning, a letter directly to the President to get the hostages out and the talks back on track. Will the President respond?

Trey Yanks is getting a lot of traction on that story. We're also going to talk about the damage, the damage our allies are doing by recognizing a Palestinian state. That's how you reward the behavior. That took place two years ago. To me, it's an absolute disaster.

That's going to be going on at the UN. Tomorrow, the President's going to speak there, and that'll be interesting. Let's bring in Michael LaRosa now. He's a former Biden official and Democratic insider. Michael, welcome back.

Hey, thanks for having me, Brian. Hey, Michael, I saw that Kamala Harris book, they just said, forget the embargo. Just let everybody start taking excerpts and let's go with it. It's probably going to sell us number twelve on Amazon right now, so it's selling. Your reaction to what you know already.

My reaction has been Uh look, this is somebody who was just. Burdened by indecision. and uh avoiding risk. And all Unable to sort of communicate direct opinions for the entire campaign.

So One of the smart things about politicians who lose is when they acknowledge and confront their mistakes. She's clearly doing that with her own style by just ripping the band-aid off and just letting it rip. I wrote a piece this morning, but I hope she continues. To speak that way, to just give her opinion. If they made mistakes by not taking risks, which she's clearly said about the whole Pete thing, say that.

Say I was risk adverse and I was wrong. That's her first way back to political redemption if she ever wants to be in the arena again. But I don't know if she does. You don't. That's interesting.

I can't tell. I wouldn't think that, yeah, I just can't tell.

So I want you to hear do you know uh Fayez Shakir? Yeah. So so here's what he said to Jonathan Carl yesterday, cut twenty one. What do you think all the scores settling here? And does she have a future?

I doubt it. No. I mean, you got to be somebody with... People are looking for people with conviction and integrity. In a time of corruption, economic corruption, political corruption, who's going to have the honesty and integrity to stand up to power?

And, you know, some of the decisions she's making, she says, I wasn't in control. It wasn't my fault. It was somebody else. I'm like, then who's in control? You know, you don't listen to consultants and the donor class.

If you want to step into the political arena, you stand on your own two feet, you make tough decisions, and you own them, and you have a vision and a strategy. And I don't think it came through in this case. So David Acherod goes on to say, he said, if there's a political strategy here, it's a bad one. There's an awful lot of grievance and finger pointing that really doesn't serve a political agenda. So That's why I don't know if she's going to run again because she's not serving a political agenda here.

So who knows? First of all, if you want to sell a book, and she owes it to history, just to be honest with everybody, first of all. And going back to Faz's point, look. The vice president's job isn't to make news. The vice president's job isn't to get ahead of the president.

The vice president's job is to be a good number two. For the most part, she, from what I remember, she did that. And she was extremely loyal to being a number two.

Now, when she had control of the campaign, when he bungled it and sort of passed the torch, so to speak, with 107 days left, I would say she erred by being so risk-adverse. And she talks about that openly in the book.

So I don't know what else you would want from her. Why would you want her to just give bullshit the whole time? Look, I haven't read the whole thing. But I'm glad she's at least being candid. That's That's a good first step.

And I like I said, I hope she doesn't walk things back because she's has a tendency to do that in the past. In her own biography. I mean, Charles Barkley did that years ago, denied, but was in his own biography. You can't do that. You have to just double down.

So she had he has she. The way I understand it is two critical times. She says that she got a call from President Biden the day of the debate. She's about to go on stage, at which time he says, I heard from my brother that you've been badmouthing me. Is it true?

And I, you know, I beat Joe Biden, and I beat Donald Trump every single time. And, you know, one time I had a bad debate, I should still be out there. And she was wondering, why is he calling me right before the debate? What's he up to to ask me this stuff that's going to upset me? No.

Do you have any Do you doubt her veracity on that? How do you feel if it is true? How do you feel from the Biden perspective if that's a revelation? Yeah, it's tough because I've been hearing so many of these stories. I heard that something before the 4th of July, that Jill reamed out Doug Emhoff before they went and did that whole, you know, raise their hands and fists in unity thing on the South Lawn a couple of weeks before he dropped out.

that she Reamed him out for trashing the campaign or something, or accusing him of doing that. I'm bothered by it all. Uh, I'm bothered by it. I mean, as a former athlete, uh, a college swimmer, if he had. If somebody had done that to me before I was about to go compete, I'd probably be a little.

Distracted. And quite odd timing. But look, I know a lot of the people around them that can be vindictive. I never thought Biden himself was.

So you know he was bitter, right? I mean, he'd you know he was angry. Sure, sure he sure he was. And I don't know if he had the right to be, to be honest with you. Had the sort of blind loyalty of Democrats, even though they really didn't want to endorse another second term, but they did anyway.

And when he wasn't campaigning, when he wasn't doing town halls, when he wasn't doing interviews, People were kind of fed up. And the debate was just the the end of the conversation for the rest of the party.

So a couple of things. I'm just going to flip on the other side. I do think that she thinks this book helps her become a more legitimate candidate for 2028. But you know her better because she's young. Nobody thinks she's too old to do anything.

So what would be next for her? Try it again. Say it was 107 days, man. Nobody could have done it, but here's what I. And I don't think that she anticipated this type of blowback, where maybe she's listening to a strategist who says, You're going to be on the stage with Whitmer, you're going to be on the stage with Shapiro, you're going to be on the stage with Butta Judge, Mark Kelly, and others.

Why not take the first shot? And that's if that's what I'm thinking that she might be thinking with a strategist because she knows she's polling poorly and there's not a clamor to support another run. What do you think about that theory? I do think there's probably some sort of. intention about Like I said earlier, sort of ripping the band-aid off.

going all in on some of my potential you know, future opponents, if she were to do that. Look, I I've kind of always thought she She would run again because of how young she is. It's hard to get that bug out of your system. Um But so far, it just strikes me as some of the color that she is giving, while I give her credit for being honest, some of the color. It's not helpful.

It's not helpful. Some of the color probably won't be helpful to her.

So, you know, maybe. Maybe she's not going to do it in the end.

However, what I would say is these news cycles move so fast that I don't think that. Most politicians will be boxed into anything. I mean, look at Trump. He engages so much. And people.

Really give him the benefit of the doubt when he does change his mind because it's thoughtful and because he comes out and explains it. I wish more Democrats would do that, but they don't. And I gotta be honest: look, she. Demonstrated.

Some poor qualities as a candidate. She has a long way to go before she can fix them. Look, you can't teach. Candidates to be authentic. It's just something.

you are comfortable with. Showing a part of yourself. She's just not that person. She doesn't want to share. Herself with us, and look, it's going to be instructive tonight on Mad Al.

Like, does she come up? Does she come across stiff? And is she wearing another suit, or is she going to show some color? Um, is she going to? You know, show like she's having fun and wants to be there.

And most importantly, is she going to answer the questions? Like, is she going to answer? And then elaborate. Michael, you know we're in a in a casual setting. Yeah.

Is she direct? Is she totally different in person? She's different in person. Look, I don't know her that well. She was always.

Very sweet to me, and I know her husband very well. But She is direct and she asks tough questions and she asks a lot of her staff. And I don't begrudge her for that. She wants. Uh Not perfection, but she expects people to have answers when she's being prepped because she knows it's her line going it's her butt on the line going out there.

So that's why she's considered tougher. Um But Oh. There are a lot of politicians. I've watched her career. She's just She's not comfortable on her own skin.

If you can't go on Brian Killmead's show and you can't go on Morning Joe and you can't go on Brett Baer and you can't talk to the New York Times. If you people, Democrats have it wrong. They think it's all about like attention. Yeah, you don't get attention and you don't get a perception of authenticity, and you don't get the attention. unless you make yourself accessible.

And if you have principle, if you have confidence in your beliefs, you can go anywhere and talk to anybody.

So you know what they said about Josh Shapiro and we heard that and And I know it was reported in a few places that when Josh Shapiro sat down one-on-one, he had a few demands. He was asking more questions than he was taking in. And one of the questions, I guess, is in the book: how many rooms are in the vice president's residence? And what else can I be doing? Tell me more responsibility, and this is what I want.

And that wasn't a good mix.

So when it turns out that she writes in a disparaging way about their interaction, here's his response: cut 20. Here's what I can tell you is that I made a point to speak to the people around the president repeatedly about what I saw were worrying signs here in Pennsylvania. And when I felt that they were not sharing that information directly with the president, I went directly to the president, to the former president, and shared that with him when we met at a coffee shop in Harrisburg. I was very direct and very blunt about what I saw were worrying signs electorally about his prospects to be able to win again.

So I believe in speaking directly to people when I've got something to say, and that's exactly what I did. And what he said to the original question was, basically, I haven't read the book. Uh but I I made a decision, she had to make a decision, we ultimately made the best decision. I personally would lose that as an opportunity to say, Look, I didn't enjoy a one-on-one session, I was going to keep that to myself, but if she's going to write disparagingly about it, let me just tell you that at that point I didn't think she could win and I didn't want to be part of a losing ticket and I had a state to run. You know, something like that.

I wanted to see some bluntness back and forth at some point. Mm-hmm.

Well, I appreciate that. I think it seems like he's taking your tack that he was going to keep something private. But since she's going out and writing about it, fine, I'll tell you how I felt. It didn't seem like a really good mix. I know everybody, there was a really big push for Josh Shapiro.

And I like Josh Shiro. He's always known to be particularly ambitious. I think a lot of the Democratic bench will have a similar problem if they can't show. Um, you know, Trump Trump kind of changed the way voters have Expectations of their leaders now to be a little bit more candid and. Plain spoken and direct, and a conversation style that democratic culture just doesn't allow us to do.

It's too evasive and scared of their own shadow. Democrats treat the media like a hazard, not an opportunity. And Trump does something different. And I don't know of a politician who on the Democratic side who's been able to really Um you know sort of demonstrate that yet. Yeah, I know what I really look forward to right after the midterms.

I love the primary process when the stages are big and then people are candid about each other's weaknesses in their own party. And both sides are going to be wide open, Michael.

So it's going to be, you know, you're going to think that Ron DeSantis is the worst and J.D. Vance is terrible from other Republicans, you know, and then you're going to get the Democrats, Josh Shapiro, and Bashir is overrated, and AOC is a socialist, and it's going to be coming from the left.

So at that moment and then soon everyone will get to their sides again. I like what it's jumbled. Yeah, me too. I mean, as a political junkie, me too. I mean, I saw a lot of it firsthand in that 2020 primary.

And you're seeing. You're seeing sort of a macro version of that with the Mandani, the New York mayoral race, you know? I hope Jeffries and Schumer. I hope they keep it up. I hope they don't bend to the will for their own good, for the good of the country.

Yeah, you know, and they had, look, I'm I'm a I'm a Hakeem fan. I'm a I'm a Democrat. But the time to endorse that guy was right when he won. And so. I don't want to hear any of that stuff either.

It's because now it will just look like they're bending to the will of the progressives. And I got to tell you, if he wants to be speaker, Those those people that they're gonna that they potentially could bend to. Are not the ones who decide majorities. Majorities are made in places like Allentown and Scranton, not in New York City. Right.

I don't see a need for him to join Dorothy. Michael Rosa, I want to hear more about the swimming career next time we're on. All right. You just snuck that in. Thanks so much.

Appreciate it. Yeah, no problem. And that's the perspective on the book that comes out tomorrow. Listen, I'm going to come back and I'm going to take some of your calls, but I'm also going to have Seth Barron at the bottom of the arrow: the truth, which is really happening in Gaza and also what's happening with the race that Michael just intimated on. Brian, kill me, Joe.

From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Killmead.

So, the other thing that's just totally typical of the Trump era, while he's giving this address to salute. Charlie Kirk's life and put it into perspective, and he, of course, is the last speaker. He says, Oh, don't miss tomorrow. We're going to announce a cure for autism. There's RFK.

It's going to be big. It's going to be big, and we're going to announce a drug that could help people with autism. That's just so typical of the Trump era. There's not a day that goes by where something significant. Doesn't happen.

whether he decides that Venezuela is putting drugs into our country and we have a plan in place to take them out or whether we're going to buy Greenland one day or the Panama Canal to kick off what we're going on, what we're going to focus on. And now you have a President of the United States who is dealing with trade deals and TikTok. You got presidents and presidents talking about an app. But that's how powerful it is. I'm not sure that this is the deal we need for security basis.

I don't care that another country owns it. I care that another country can't own a news source. And for the most part, when it was network television, they weren't allowed. Not only do I want to make sure that TikTok's not controlled by China, I want to make sure the next one's not controlled by another country. 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. A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Fox News has learned from a senior Trump administration official and a second source directly involved in the negotiations that Hamas has drafted a personal letter to President Trump asking him to guarantee a 60-day pause in the fighting in exchange for immediately releasing half of the hostages being held inside Gaza.

We understand this letter is currently with the Qataris and is expected to be delivered to the president this week. Remember, there are still 48 hostages being held by the terror group inside the Gaza Strip. It's estimated around 20 are believed to be alive. And the negotiations were moving forward, but earlier this month, the Israelis launched airstrikes against Hamas inside the Qatari capital of Doha. They have been stalled ever since.

But officials hope this letter will help to jump-start the conversations and ultimately get President Trump directly involved to try and reach an agreement to get the hostages home and end this war. And that is Chase. Yanks with an original reporting talking about a letter coming from Gaza, the rubble, into Cutter's hands. And I hope President Trump will read it because they feel as though in that NYU they're not going to get anywhere and they're a terrorist organization. But I think they understand how much the president has been dealing with and working with the hostage families, American and Israelis.

Seth Baron, our guest, New York Post editorial board member, author of Last Days of New York. And we'll get to New York, but Seth, I'm just struck by your great column about the reality of what people are going through in Gaza. First off, your reaction to this letter. Do you see it from what we know and been looking at for the last two years getting some traction with the President? Look, uh everybody wants this war to end.

And Hamas knows what they have to do. They've got to let go of the hostages and Honestly, they have to step down. I mean, they've got to surrender like anybody else. Yeah, leave anybody else in the world. would, uh, you know, give up at this point.

Um I hope this letter does something. I don't know, promising to give up half the hostages. Seems like, you know. Not like good enough, honestly. I mean, at this point.

I don't know what they're doing. Just like trying to drag this out, stay in power. They don't have that. They don't have something to fall back on.

So dying as a mortar. I mean, that seems to be what they want. And they also have no regard for the lives of their own people. Which makes it hard to fight a war against them because they're willing to let a million Gazans die. I mean, do you watch when Hani, I think it was, found out that two of his sons were dead and they were celebrating?

Sure. Did you see that with his wife? Like, can you believe it? Our kids became martyrs. Isn't that great?

It makes it hard when you're fighting a death cult. And they are. I would add a couple of other things. See, Hamas also, they want to, if they survive, they win.

So they know the longer they hold out, the more things happen like other countries recognize a Palestinian state. Word was they're on the doorstep of another deal when France says we will recognize a Palestinian state, followed by the UK, Portugal, Canada, now Australia.

So that gives them hope that they did the right thing. Sure. I mean, it rewards them. They they're celebrating. They see this they see October 7th as like Independence Day.

You know, I think Netanyahu should say I recognize a free Quebec. I recognize Catalunya as a free country within Spain. I recognize Corsican independence. You know, a Kurdish state. Sure, why not?

Let's get a Kurdish state. Seth, that's a great move. That's very Trumpian of you. Yeah, you've been in New York too long.

So, Seth, you wrote a column today, yesterday, about what's really going on in Gaza. We've got a huge problem with inaccuracy. Yes, are civilians dying? Yes. Are they ever targeted?

I would say no. Are flyers dropped to make sure that civilians don't die? Is life there terrible? Yes. Are they trying to get aid in?

Yes. There was a report this morning that they were shooting at, the UN is trying to open different pathways to deliver more food, and they start shooting at the UN trucks coming in. Not surprising. I mean, Hamas wants complete control, and they also want to sow as much chaos and uncertainty as possible. I mean, people call this a genocide, but Brian.

Okay, what kind of genocide? In the first year, 45,000 people die. In the second year, 20,000 people die. Die. Most genocides go the other way.

Exactly. Not like tapering off. Great point.

So now we have a situation where now they're proclaiming over 200 journalists have been killed. And you question that. I question that. Look, a lot of these people, it's hard to say if they're really journalists. I mean, one of them, That was lauded as a murder journalist.

He had three hostages in his house, and that's when he got killed. Another one. It's a great way to set up exclusives, by the way. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Another one takes selfies with.

With Yahya Sinwar. Yeah, these guys are very much embedded with Hamas. Uh so whether they're journalists or soldiers, I think becomes uh and they want it that way. They want to blur those lines. And it's important for people not just to accept things blindly.

Israelis are killing journalists, and they're kill they're preventing aid from getting in. That is the narrative that echoes around the globe that makes the Israelis an unpopular nation instead of the only democracy in the region. It's um yeah, they're they're in a tough spot. They're in a very tough spot. Uh, Hamas propaganda backed up by you know, the UN by by liberal leftists in all the Western nations.

Uh they're they're very much devoted to this narrative. I want you to hear what Ben Shapiro said. Yesterday, about all these countries like the UK and Canada recognizing. Uh recognizing a Palestinian state, Cut 28. Not even remotely.

It's exactly the right question. The President of the United States has had absolute moral clarity on this issue. Kier Starmer, Mark Carney, Albanese in Australia have anything but. And you can hear from Kier Starmer there exactly why, because there is no way to quote unquote recognize a state of Palestine, a country that has no borders, no government, and apparently no responsibility for the health and well-being of its own citizens, without actually rewarding Hamas, which is currently holding at least 40 hostages, possibly 20 of them alive, and could end the war at any minute simply by surrendering those hostages.

So they're handing a giant reward to terrorists in the middle of a war that Israel is fighting against, a terror group that Starmer himself says has to be extirpated. Yeah, I mean, he's totally right. It's a complete mixed message. It's just confusing the issue. They're playing to.

their uh You know, leftist, Islamist factions within their own country. which are growing. And it it's nonsense. There's no there's right, there's no borders. There's no government.

So let's take a look at the mayor's race in New York. Akeem Jeffries in talks, still talking to Mandami about endorsing him. We're talking with the Democratic Socialists when pressed on it. He gets so angry when people ask. First off, Hakeem Jeffries and Senator Schumer was asked again.

We're still talking, I've known him for a while. You've talked, what are they listening for? And just by delaying, what is that showing you?

Well, it's showing that there's a major rift in the Democrat Party. Look, we talked about this last time. The Democrat Party is a multi-trillion dollar franchise. They're not just gonna Roll over. And give up to To a faction, this hard left faction, that doesn't even consider themselves Democrats, the Democratic Socialists.

They have a totally different agenda. And It's, you know, I mean, Hockel. Yes, she bent the knee. She she she bowed down. To um I'm Don.

Because she thinks that this way he won't, that they won't primary her next year. But Lieutenant Governor is primary Delgado, I think his name is. He is to the left of her, and he is primary, and he did not return the endorsement. No, he didn't. No, look, they see themselves as completely in the catbird seat.

They're running the show.

So they see no reason why should they make any concessions. You know, he already said that he won't defund the police, you know, wink, wink. But they're not going to go any further than that.

So if you are Akeem Jeffries and you're a leader of your party, let alone a New York Congressman, and you're Senator Schumer, the leader of your party, let alone a New York Senator, and Gillibrand, a New York Senator, and you don't endorse the sitting mayor, what do you say, being labeled a socialist? And that your Republicans are already running ads about what Democrats stand for. Look, you've got the Republicans, you've got the National Republicans, and you have the National Democrats. Not every Democrat in the country wants. Wants to be ruled by a socialist.

Uh they you know Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, they're the leaders of the party. They can't just give up. And tell all the National Democrats this is what we're doing now. It'll kill them in fundraising. What do you think?

Does it scare them to see Cuomo and Adams struggle so much and thinking, wait, these are establishment candidates? They're establishment candidates. They have no control of the process. They didn't have the power to do this. They didn't start Mom Dami.

They didn't groom Mom Dami. He came up organically, got his own voters, didn't ask for their money. Most of the money comes from outside the city. And does it scare them, do you think? They're scared stiff.

I mean, this guy, and you got to hand it to him. He came in, the DSA, with their organizing, they. They seized control uh of this sclerotic, decayed system. And sure, it could happen. If it happened to th to to to them, it could happen to you.

So AOC is the big story last week was he's either running for a Senate seat or for President of the United States. He's appearing in places. where she wouldn't normally be welcome, like Plattsburgh, New York, to see How they resonate by Canada. Why would a Queens girl want to go to Plattsburgh? People in Plattsburgh don't want to be in Plattsburgh, no offense, but it's very tough, rugged living.

For sure.

So it's really cold.

So, my feeling is she's absolutely running. What do you think she's going to run for? I you know what? I think that she sees uh a national profile for herself. Maybe she'll run per Senate, but you know, if she runs for President, Who can blame her?

The Democrats have nobody. Their bench is is Paper thin. Why shouldn't she? I'm not saying that she would be a good president. But as far as the Democrats go, she seems like one of the best things they've got.

I mean, she's charismatic. Prison said she's spunky, I'll give her that, but nobody wants. that she's got she's got the wrong philosophy for the country.

So, very different from Bashir, let's say, of Kentucky, very different from Shapiro of Pennsylvania. Fetterman's not going to run for president, but very different from him, from Senator Kelly. I mean, not that they make strong stands and seem like moderates, but people are hoping that they would be moderates because it would appeal to a wider audience.

So, when they get on the stage together, There'll be gloves will be off, correct? Oh, absolutely. Look, the Democrat, the leftists think. We've got to stop moderating ourselves. That's why we lose.

They say that's why Kamala lost, because she didn't run hard to the left. That's why Hillary lost. Uh so their attitude is The party needs to go far left, like Mom Donnie, but New York City is not the country. But when you look at the country, DEI is not resonating with the country. It might resonate with DEI, but it might resonate in New York City.

The woke stuff is not flying at all. They're even trying to straighten out their colleges now. They're under pressure to open up the school of thought. People like the country again. The 1619 project doesn't roll off the lips of any Democrat that I know of.

How different is that, Seth, than we're used to? And if a candidate rolls out and wants to pretend like the 1619 project, America Was Built on Stolen Land on the Backs of Slaves, if that's going to be their opening line, that might get him a primary win, but it's not going to resonate nationally. It's going to help a J.D. Vance. It'll be very hard.

I think that they're going to push this affordability line and pretend that they are the ones who care about everybody's pocketbook. But I don't know if that's gonna work. And you got Rahm Emmanuel, who thinks that he'll be the middle road. The problem with him, he was a below average mayor in a very blue city that caters to Democrats. Same thing with Gavin Newsome.

Terrible governor. Yeah. He's done the impossible. He's made California unlivable. And he wants a promotion.

That's why I'm saying AOC is as good a shot as anybody. Seth Barron, thanks so much. I look forward to your columns in the New York Post, you're on the editorial board. I appreciate you. Thanks a lot, Brian.

Back in a moment. Giving you everything you need to know. You're with Brian Kilmead. I'm Janistine. 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 radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmead. But one of the things that I've never done that the president has done consistently is called specifically for violence. He has said, oh, beat that one up.

He has said those types of things. We know that Charlie Kirk was saying things about who should live and who should die. I have never said those kinds of things. And I think that those things are the ones that are going to be. Just pause for a second.

So this is the crazy thing. She goes from one crazy statement to the next. It's Jasmine Crockett.

Someone's just got to jump and go, what are you talking about? One time, a couple of times in 2015, when people were disrupting Trump's rallies, he said, yeah, we used to be rougher when you were acting like that. They used to rough him up, take him in. That is one or two comments over the maybe 40,000 public appearances Donald Trump has done over the course of nine years. What about Joe Biden?

Take him out in the back. I'd love to take him out in the back of the building and beat him up. What about that? Is he responsible for that? Number two, what is he even talking about with his...

What's she even talking about when she talks about Charlie Kirk saying who should live and who should die? The guy's pro-life. Who should live and who should die? What are you talking about? Yeah, he's pro-gun, and he got killed by uh by a gun, by a criminal, not by a hunter, not by responsible people, by irresponsible people that are going to use anything in order to Act the way they act, including graving their grandfather's gun, which he got for who knows, but it's 40 years old, and took Charlie's life.

So she goes from one stupid statement to another, and nobody stops her. Let's continue.

Some of that will still be protected. We know that we still have laws that are on the book, that certain speech is not protected, that it does cross over when you are inciting violence, such as what we saw on January 6th, when you are doing what we consider to be a terroristic threat of some sort, where it's a matter of I'm not just saying it, but I have the apparent ability to carry that out. That, I mean, January 6th again, what else is new? Your whole January 6th investigation a terrible day. Everybody knows it.

January 6th, do you need any more? We had four and a half years of January 6th, and then we had a fallacious report that was released. When they had contradictory information, they destroyed it. It still doesn't exist to this day.

So she wants to lean on that. And those last two statements, I wish I could refute, but they made absolutely no sense. People book this woman. She says nine inaccurate things and they thank her for appearing. It is tragic.

And if I'm a Democrat, I'm saying to myself, excuse me. Can you interview Senator Kelly once in a while? Can you find Harold Ford on another channel? I'm sure he could do guest spots. Can you get Senator Fetterman, the guy is available?

There are some Democrats that will speak honestly about what they think Trump does wrong. and obviously if you are being honest, what he did right. About the border, about clamping down an illegal immigrant criminal, scooping him up. You might think he's too aggressive with some. Gavin Newsome's trying to make his name on that.

He doesn't understand that the bus has left the station. Because you let people in, people took their jobs, you drove down wages. You know who's really mad about that? The unions. And you know who's voting with the Republicans more and more?

The unions. You know who's gone ahead and said this unequal trade is killing American jobs for years? The unions in the 90s. They said what Bill Clinton did and what George H.W. Bush started was well-intentioned, but it was wiping out manufacturing because it all moved to countries where they had to pay less for the labor, they can lower the price and then sell it back to Americans.

But those Americans no longer had middle-class jobs. That's the math that worked out. It was an honest attempt, I think, not one that was unsavory in its approach. But guess who is upset about that? The unions.

Guess who s working to bring manufacturing back here, not with government subsidies, but by tariffs and trade deals? The President.

So, while she can rant on and on about maybe the president's saying, after a bunch of people disrupted his appearances in 2015, And said, you know, rough them up. And the president says, you spit in the face, you spit in the face of a cop, you hit. That's not really violent. That's called be responsible for a behavior and empower law enforcement.

So, when asked to be responsible and stop with the Hitler and the fascists. Vetterman says yes. Dave McCormick says yes. You just heard no. History, Liberty, and Laughs coming up this Saturday.

Can't wait to see you in person in Richmond, Virginia. BrianKillme.com for tickets. And then on the first, November 1st, in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. That is going exceedingly well, too, in sales. Hope to see everybody there now.

The VIPs in Potts Town is already over 100. We set a record last time. Uh over in Dallas, Brain Kill meeting.
