20 Days, One Historic Move, An Unbelievable Journey. Melania from the Amazon MGM Studios captures the one-of-a-kind transition into the White House, showcasing the planning, the pressure, and personal moments that come with stepping into the role of the first lady for a second time. From logistical complexities, decisions made behind closed doors. The film brings you closer to Mrs. Trump and her family as they return to the nation's capital.
See what history looks like before the doors officially open. Melania arrives exclusively in theaters January 30th, 2026. A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmead. Real uniformity here.
That's what I really think you see. You see real uniformity. Deported all immigrants who are here illegally, 55% of the New York Times. Marquette, 64%. CBS News, 57%.
ABC News with a slightly different question, 56%.
So what you're seeing essentially here is a very clear indication that a majority of Americans, in fact, when they're asked this blunt question, which I believe gets at the underlying feelings, do in fact want to deport all immigrants who are here illegally. There's no arguing with these different numbers because they're all essentially the same across four different pollsters. Yeah, so this is Harry Enton over on CNN. And Harry Anton is one of the bright lights over there because I just love the way he does the polls. He's so animated.
I just, even when he's giving me bad news, I do like the way in which he delivers it.
So, according to polls, People want to deport all illegals, not just the criminal illegals, they want them all out. And it's a majority, all of them out.
So that's why I think the the left Is panicking. They need those people for the census, right? They need that because in states across this country, the blue states, I know New Jersey does it, the People's Socialist Republic of New Jersey, in which I am an inmate. When you go to renew your license, even online, you can click the box if you want to register them, if they want to have them register you to vote. All you have to do is just say, I am an American American citizen, legal.
And you click that box and then they put you through. No, like that's it. That's all you have to do. You could do it from the comfort of your home.
So, think of the number of people in these states that should not be voting, that are.
Some of them, maybe it was very. And was done purposefully. But in others, maybe not people just. Click the box not realizing what they're clicking, they register to vote accidentally. I'm sure it's happened.
People don't read.
So it's a very scary thing, and this is why. This is why the left is fighting this and going against what the American people want so, so fully.

So we try to have a lot of fun, and you can join in, ask questions, and leave comments as well. Let's talk to JP DeGance. JP is the founder of Communio and also has a piece in Town Hall titled Sunday Morning Worship Should Not Require an Escape Plan. And I thought this was super interesting and obviously very timely. JP, thank you for joining me here on the Brian Kilmead Show.
Hi. Hey, Mary. Thanks for watching. Much for having me. Great to see you.
Absolutely great. This is such an incredible piece because, you know, when I saw what happened in St. Paul, I thought it was very, very frightening. And I think there's been a heightened awareness when people go to church, go to worship. You know, like if, especially if I'm in like a new church, I'm like, where are the exits?
Which is weird. And I shouldn't have to feel that way. Our little church in town, I don't think anything's going to happen in my little church for 3,500 people. I don't think we're a big target. But I'm sure these people who went to church in that Baptist church on a Sunday morning didn't think anything was going to happen there.
And when you have people who are saying, well, the churches are welcome. The doors are open. Anybody can come in, it makes you wonder. But so I want to start out asking you that question first. These protesters are like, well, anyone can come in.
It says all people are welcome and we have the right to free speech. We didn't do anything wrong. What's your answer to that? What's your response? No, well, first off, the Supreme Court.
Established Supreme Court law would say that's not the case, that you're not allowed to. to enter a place of worship and violate their ability to worship there and to turn that private property into your own place of agitation. I don't even like using the term protesters for this. Because they crashed this worship event. They were absolutely agitators.
But come out, since Mary is some Fairly terrifying element to this. They block. Victims have said in court filing. that they blocked the they blocked the stairwell. That would have allowed parents to get to the nursery and to the Sunday school.
And so parents were prevented from getting to their own children. Those agitators in the stairwell screamed in the face of even the young children, calling their parents Nazis. Saying to those little ones who are crying, that do you know, quote, your parents are gonna, quote, burn in hell? This was not a just rolling in and with a couple signs. Interrupting for about 10 seconds.
No, it was a much, it was much, much worse than that. You had the guests. flee the sanctuary and then in in in some cases Victims said that the agitators surrounded their car, prevented them from leaving. And there was even a group of about 50 in the church who became trapped. Because while many got to the exits, some couldn't.
And they were confronted, camera thrown in face, screamed and shouted at. Uh all with the intent really to provoke to provoke a uh uh a violent reaction. To embarrass. To shame, it was fundamentally a violation of the most basic of our constitutional rights, that's the freedom of religion.
So, do you think this should be prosecuted as a hate crime? I hate the concept of hate crimes. Thank you. And I think it should be prosecuted because, one, this is a clear violation of the First Amendment rights of these worshipers. The first clause of the First Amendment comes before speech is religion, and the freedom of religion is established right there before we get to speech.
So, I'd like. Uh to see the use of the FACE Act. You've got the KKK Klan Act. I'd like to see, certainly, we've seen some initial arrests, but and for that, I'm grateful. I want to, you know, it's great that the administration, the Department of Justice has already done that.
I want to encourage them to do more. I feel like those are rookie numbers, and we could get a lot more arrests there. And yeah, go ahead, sorry, Mary. No, no, no. I'm glad you brought that up because I was going to ask you, I'm very troubled by only two people being arrested.
There were 30 to 40 of them, and Don Lemon, the judge, chooses, says, nah, you know, he could do what he did. He was totally fine with what he did. He was not totally fine with what he did. He was not acting as a journalist. I'm just a journalist.
He was not acting like a journalist. He coordinated with these people ahead of time. He admitted it on camera that he coordinated with these people ahead of time.
So, you know, when you've got these leftist activist judges, how do you get any kind of preservation of your rights if you're a Christian? Yeah, look, and this is important for anybody listening to this. You're a Christian, you're not a Christian. Regardless of where you stand on the question of enforcement of immigration law, this is a fundamental right to be able to worship. To be able to show up and worship God.
And these folks have decided that there's nothing sacred and that they can come in and destroy your ability to do that. When you think about the arrests that they've already made, which as you noted, it isn't a lot, it exposes this concept of what's called anarcho-tyranny. And I think this is important for us to understand. The concept there is you've got. Anarchy that exists, and then law is only enforced against frequently those.
Who are in the political class that is considered outsiders.
So, in this case, anarchy is engaged in by these agitators. The lawmakers and the law enforcement officers in the jurisdiction of Minneapolis don't protect and don't enforce the law, so allowing the anarchy to happen. And then, the law is then frequently only enforced against those who frequently are Christian and law-abiding. And in that sense, it is an anarcho-tyranny. And this, I think, it needs to be talked about and named.
And then, because if we can't do that, then we can't start to solve the problem. Obviously, you've got these jurisdictions where entire populations are apparently above the law and are unable to be prosecuted because of this. Alignment. between radical judges And local, the local magistrates, so to speak. Trevor Burrus, Jr.: And I think it's also very telling that they did not go into any, they didn't go into a Jewish temple because they are renowned for having security.
And they didn't go into a mosque. They never target Muslims, which I think is so interesting. They're hands off. They always go after the Christians. And to me, that is very, very telling.
Yeah, and it's both telling and reinforces that concept of anarcho-tyranny oftentimes. You know, the perception of a religious community who's politically perhaps more likely to be aligned with them and their worldview receives all of the protection and full force of law. And those who are perceived to be politically not aligned.
Okay, they are not protected. And that's You know, that's at the very root of this concept of anarcho-tyran. You can't have. a a concept of a rule of law That governs our country when this is these norms are proliferating. One more quick question before we run out of time.
While all of this is happening, I also see come across my feed on social media a lot of young people who are converting to Catholicism, who are going back to church, going back to what they grew up with. And I know there's a church in New York and in Greenwich Village, and Sunday night 5 o'clock Mass is packed with 25 to 35-year-olds, and they're out the door. What is happening in this country? Do you see this across all religions, or is this something that is unique to Christianity in this country? I am seeing this.
We work with more than 400 churches around the country, Protestant and Catholic. We're seeing it across the board. Particularly with churches, you know, on the evangelical and Protestant side, there's interest in more interest in sound doctrine, expository scripture teaching on the Catholic side, where there's fidelity to the liturgy and good preaching. You're seeing this across the country where young people, young people in church, Are now more likely, if you're under the age of 30, you're more likely to be showing up more frequently if you are going to church than those who are older. What that doesn't mean is that on that there's more young people in church.
It does mean those young people who are going are more fervent and more frequently going.
So we're seeing a lot of evidence. Of some initial elements of revival. We're seeing Sunday church attendance now in my area in Northern Virginia exceed pre-pandemic levels. And a lot of our churches, overall, over the last 12 to 20, Four months are up. We're seeing 24, 30 percent increases in Sunday attendance across the board with our partner churches.
So, yeah, I think there's something there. I come short of calling it a full-blown revival. I think it's the seeds are there for a revival. You know, religious non-affiliation had grown, Mary, for about 40 consecutive years from the late 80s, but something's happened in the last four years. The Pew data has leveled off, and that's no longer growing.
And so, I think. Which is, of course, itself noteworthy.
So I think there's something real going on, and we should be encouraged by it. And when there's big, you know, my ministry works, and you know, we support churches to help them share the gospel by renewing marriage and family health. I was just so outraged. We work with a lot of Southern Baptist churches and just outraged by what had happened out there at Cities Church, and just felt like it's incredibly important for those in the church community who don't usually engage in areas of. advocacy.
We need to make our voices heard and let folks know that this is unacceptable, and we expect justice. Yeah, I expect justice too. I would hope we get it, but with only two people being arrested, I don't have a lot of high hopes for that. And listen, more and more churches are now saying, hey, if you're in a state where you can conceal carry, please feel free to do so in our house of worship so that they do have some kind of protection. If you're not in a state like that, like the People's Socialist Republic of New Jersey, then good luck.
So, JP DeGance, thank you so much for joining me. You can find him at X, as I said, at JP DeGance. And his piece, if you want to read more about it, is on town hall at Sunday morning worship. Should not require an escape plan. Thank you so much.
Have a great week and God bless. Thank you, Mary. God bless. Thank you. More coming up, we've got Taylor Riggs, co-host of the big money show, coming up here on the Brian Kilmeet Show.
Learning something new every day on the Brian Killmeat Show. The more you listen, the more you'll know. It's Brian Killmead. The message is out. Tom Homan is in.
Commander Bovino is supposedly leaving Minneapolis along with some CBP agents. Is this a pullback? I don't think it's a pullback, it's a little bit of a change. Everybody in this room that has a business, you know, you make little changes. You know, Bovino is very good, but he's a pretty out there kind of a guy, and in some cases that's good.
Maybe it wasn't good here. But you have to understand, when I watch some of the people that I've been watching over the last few weeks, these are paid insurrectionists, these are paid agitators. These people aren't normal, like OG that, you know, they're incensed about anything.
So that was President Trump with Will Cain talking about, as you heard, Commander Bovino supposedly leaving. And we initially heard, oh my gosh, he's fired. He's being, you know, he's going to step down. He's going to go retired. Trump's getting rid of him.
And that's not what is happening at all. But I love Trump at the end there. These people are normal. Like, oh, gee, they're incensed about, you know, they're incensed about anything. I think he meant to say these people aren't normal, is what I think he was going to say there.
And so. Let's go to cut one because here is the president talking about how Tom Holman is different than Greg Bovino. You know, we have Tom Holman there now. We put him in there, he's great. And they met with the governor, the mayor, everybody else, and we're going to de-escalate a little bit.
But I will tell you: you look at the numbers, they're doing better than they've done in many years because we took. thousands of criminals out of Minnesota. And that's what I want to know. See, this is where I think the Republicans could be a little bit better with messaging. And I know that President Trump will stand up there and say, we got this guy and we got this guy.
I almost think like they have to up their social media game. I really do. I think they do have some young people who do some great social media, but since the mainstream media is not going to carry the message of look at the people we're getting off the streets in Minneapolis and St. Paul, look at the criminals that won't be living in a neighborhood near you. Because where are most of these people living?
They're living amongst other immigrants who are probably illegal, but maybe haven't committed a crime.
So they're not the worst of the worst. We'll get to them later. And so you're taking those people out, but they also live in the poorer neighborhoods with people who are citizens, but maybe aren't making a ton of money. They live in minority neighborhoods. That's where these people live because they blend in, especially in minority Hispanic neighborhoods.
And these people don't want them there. Why should they have to put up with your, you know, because you have a fetish about saving your neighbors, even if they're criminals? But because they don't. Live in your neighborhood, but they live in these neighborhoods with poorer Americans, who often are minority neighborhoods. And they don't want them in their neighborhoods.
This is why, when you watch these protests, do you see one black person out there? You don't. Do not. You never see black people out there. It's always white people.
And it depends on the mix, and I guess whoever the word went out to that day or whoever was available. A lot of them, white over 60. You see a lot of that. Or it's these young people who I'm sure this is their sole job is. Protesting.
This is what they do. I quickly want to go to cut two talking about Christy Noam to get to the triumphant. The three of them here, we'll get to the big three and whether she is going to go because the left wants her impeached, and there's some Democrat Republicans, believe it or not, on board for impeaching Christy Noam. Here we go. With the shift in Minneapolis and Tom Homan going to Minnesota, do you still have confidence in DHS Secretary Christy Noam?
You brought up the success of the border, you do. She was there with the border. Who closed up the border? She did with Tom Holman, with the whole group. I mean, they closed up the border.
The border is a tremendous success, one of the most secure borders in the entire world. And it is. She did a great job. That was not an easy job. I mean, it was so hard.
Kamala Harris did absolutely nothing as the border czar. She didn't even go there. She's like, and what do we hear from Joe Biden the whole time? I can't do anything. I can't do anything with the border.
Congress has to fix it. Congress has to fix the border, which obviously is not true. We know that that's not true.
So I think that Christine Holmes done a wonderful job. She did a really, really hard task. But should she be impeached over any of this before we even know the details? of any of these uh shootings? And notice we don't talk about the ICE agents who have a finger bitten off or get hit in the face with a shovel or get hit by a car and dragged.
That we don't investigate. That we don't investigate. All right, coming up, Taylor Riggs from the Big Money Show will be joining us here on the Brian Kilmead Show. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead.
And welcome to the Brian Kill Mead Show. I'm Mary Walter sitting in the seat for Brian today and tomorrow. Joining us now, co-host of the big money show, Taylor Riggs is with us. You can find her on Exit Riggs. Report to G's in that.
Taylor, thank you so much for joining me today. My pleasure.
So let's talk a little bit about a possible government shutdown. It seems to be something that the Democrats love to do, and when they do it, the Republicans still get blamed for it, even when they're the ones who are doing it. But I suspect that this is going to happen every time for the next three years. We're going to constantly be on the brink of a government shutdown. What is it this time?
I thought we just went through this, so why are we doing this again? We did.
So look, you know, the last government shutdown, we ended exactly where we started, which shows that the government shutdown actually did absolutely nothing in order to bring the far left and the far right to the table and to come to an agreement.
So the left did not want to vote with the Republicans, and so the government shut down. And it looks like we might be doing it again, and here's why. The previous shutdown was due to some of the expiring super subsidies within the ACA healthcare premiums. This government shutdown actually looks like it's going to be a little bit more political and less economic. You have a lot of people on the left saying that they're going to hold up the government and not reopen it or force it to shut down if they don't withhold ICE funding from DHS.
And so it's becoming gosh, just more political. And that is not what the American people want. I think, first and foremost, the American people want a government that works for them. Second of all, priorities. This is about we are still very much focused on our pocketbook and our wallets.
That's why Trump is in Iowa and he's going to. Different cities in each week up until the midterms. People want to feel like cash coming in is more than cash going out. At the end of the month, when I balance my paycheck, balance my household budget, what does that look like? And unfortunately, it just hasn't improved enough.
And so I just don't think a government shutdown is what any American wants, especially when it's not focused on economic issues that's really important to people. Yeah, but here's the thing that puzzles me. The Big Beautiful bill funded ICE through 2029.
So what does this accomplish? probably political grandstanding and trying to put pressure on what's happening in Minnesota to hold up the rest of the country and to see it what how far the left can go. I think what's interesting is In the previous shutdown, The polls were showing that it was hitting Republicans, but it was really then also starting to hit. Um Democrats, the longer it went on.
So it'll be interesting to see this time around. Who's impacted? Because we are in a midterm year, so to say that the government shutdown doesn't matter. I think it does, especially in midterm years.
So I want to see who it starts to impact because a lot of the Republicans would say that they came out unscathed. in the last shutdown because They ended exactly where they started. The Democrats didn't. get any compromises and they were the ones that were holding it up.
So I'm not really sure what this achieves. But on a day like today when the Federal Reserve is meeting, when they're thinking about are they going to cut interest rates or not, their thoughts on inflation, that's what Americans want our government to be focusing on. come up with a deal, stay open and help focus on Um Further increasing real wages, right? My wages after inflation. That's the things that America, it's really important to Americans right now.
Exactly. But yet we know that Americans don't think the economy is doing great, even though they're seeing more money in their wallets, right? They're saving money, they're spending less at the grocery store, they're spending less when they go get gas, right? And our troops got a check. There's more money floating around, and we saw that over the holidays with people buying more stuff, purchasing more things.
So why does that not translate to wow, the economy's going pretty well compared to it was two years ago? Yes.
So I have two points on this. The first is we are still very much digging ourselves out of a hole that was created in the last four or five years.
So if prices are up twenty four percent in the last five years, seeing a couple percent movement, I'm still in the hole relative to where I was five years ago. Does that make sense?
So I'm in a big hole.
So any gain I'm getting feels good, but it's not good enough. I'm still down. The second point of this is We've been tracking some of these consumer sentiment surveys that have been pretty negative.
Now typically, historically, they've tracked unemployment. Unemployment is pretty low. If you're at four point five percent, that's really low relative to where we've been in previous decades. But that correlation has broken down. Consumer sentiment is now tracking how people feel about their ability to get a job.
And right now, the economy is in a low higher But the good news is also a low fire mode, a wait and see, not a lot of movement. That is what's also impacting consumers because that's hurting my. Perception on the ability to quit my job today and get a really good job tomorrow because I'm not getting fired, but I'm not confident I can get hired either.
So that's why we're seeing more of a correlation with that statistic with the way I feel and my perception of the economy.
Now, I would argue watch what I do, not what I say. I say that I don't feel good, but I am still spending. I am still out there shopping. And so that's what's been hard this past year is consumers say that they don't feel good about the economy, but their behavior is telling me something different. I think let's see how The first half of this year goes.
You talked about the one big beautiful bill. There are a lot of provisions in there that consumers will start to feel relief from, whether it's the way the withholdings have been changing, so I get more money in my tax refund, the way that businesses, let's say maybe the tariff drama is behind us. And so I'm able to spend and invest and build for the future. That's a leading indicator for hiring.
So we've seen really positive data this week in terms of capital equipment orders and investment, which means hiring comes a couple months after that. Those are all sort of things that I think we're watching in the first half of this year to see if Scott Besson and Trump are right in that this could be a really, really big boom year. And then eventually that'll filter into my feelings on the economy and how Trump is pulling on the economy. How much do you think tax season is going to play into how much people, how people feel about the economy? Because first of all, If they shut down the government, parts of the IRS are going to be shut down, which I think is phenomenal, which you can't shut that thing down fast enough.
I think that's a gift. That's gifts to all of us.
So how much is that going to play in? We've got the Trump accounts, right? We've got those are those going to factor in by with my taxes that I'm going to be preparing in a couple of months? Yeah, so look, adding more money in your pocket, less money from the government's pocket is a good thing. I'm a much better steward of my money than the government is.
The government wastes my money. I don't. I'm a much better steward of it.
So I'm optimistic that tax refund season, a big boost, makes me feel better. My only sort of caution is that's a one-time cash inflow in March or April. That doesn't really move the needle when I'm thinking of every month money coming in versus money going out. Right. And by November, when I'm going to the polls, I'm not really remembering what happened in March with my tax refund, right?
And so I'm really excited about the extra money that will be in Americans' pockets, all of the really good things for small businesses and that one big, beautiful bill. But I'm not thinking that we can just hang our hat on tax refund season as carrying us through the rest of the year. It is a one-time hit boost, which is great, but that's not changing how I'm. looking every month at my budget.
So things like gas prices coming down. Certain items at the grocery store coming down. I think those are much more tangible things than Americans feel like every morning when I go to the grocery store, what does my bill and my receipt look like at the end of that trip? What does it look like after I fill up my car at the gas station every morning on my way to work? And when I go to work, is the wage on an inflation-adjusted basis finally positive when in the last five years it's been negative?
I think those are much more like tangible things on an everyday basis Americans will start to feel hopeful about. And I wonder how much of this plays into, you know, you talked about people are still spending, even though consumer confidence is down, people are still spending, right?
So consumer confidence is down, which I thought was odd. It fell sharply in January to the lowest level since 2014.
So this, again, flies counter. But I wonder if people are still spending because the people who are in the spending mode right now is Gen Z and then, you know, a little bit into their 30s and 40s, especially with kids and that kind of thing. I think that's a very consumer-driven age group. You know, no matter how much money they have, they're still going to go out and spend $8 on their Starbucks latte that they get every day.
So I wonder if that's where the disconnect is: is that you say, I'm a better steward of my money than the government is. For some people, maybe that's not true. But how much does that consumer-driven generation play into this people still spending thing? Yeah, you know what? I think there's some truth to that.
I have a girlfriend of mine who complains that she's living paycheck to paycheck. She voted for Mom Donnie here in New York City because she thinks the capitalism isn't working for her. And yet she's missing my book club meeting because she's flying home to Seattle to see the Super Bowl at a local bar in for the Seahawks. There you go. That's kind of like where, okay, so she's telling me she doesn't feel good, but yet she's still sending and has enough to buy a flight to go home to watch the Super Bowl with her family and friends in Seattle.
So I think you're spot on in that disconnect. We've also talked about sort of this K-shaped economy, but I caution, and I don't want to Make light of the lower K-shaped of the economy because I want everyone to feel like they're growing in this economy. We've been a K-shaped economy forever. That's just the way things work sometimes. And so they've said, well, oh my gosh, the top are income, the top half of that K is bailing out everyone on the bottom because the top half of that K is the one spending and driving this economy.
The lower half of the K is getting worse and worse. And I'm not sure I buy that because the best anecdote. Um To help the lower portion of that K see a real wage increase. is real GDP growth. And the Atlanta Fed GDP yesterday says GDP in the fourth quarter is a 5.4%.
Now that's a very volatile number. And it changes every other day. But north of five percent GDP growth on the twenty eight to thirty trillion dollar economy is huge. And so if that growth continues, that's the best way to help the bottom half of that K. spend and feel like they are climbing up the socioeconomic ladder.
Um growth.
Solves all of our problems. And so I think that's what the administration, I think, rightfully is focusing on. If you focus on growth and helping companies reinvest in their employees and in America, everything else can take care of itself from there. Yeah. One more quick question about the two minutes that I have here.
It just came out from Redfin that more than 40,000 Americans signed home purchase agreements to buy their houses, and they canceled them in December. That's over 16% of all homes that went under contract were then canceled. And there's about 47% more home sellers than buyers in the market, which is so now it's turning into a buyer's market from a seller's market that it's been for so long and people have been complaining about.
So why so many people canceling purchase agreements that had just signed them? I think it's how. Is turning a little bit, and I think this is a good thing. You need more supply to come online. And so, if that means you're canceling the contract because you think there's going to be a better deal in the future, or if home price growth starts to slow a little bit so the real wages can catch up and make that home feel more affordable, I think that's a good thing.
The housing market, as you know, has been in this standstill. I'm a seller, I don't want to cut prices. the buyer can afford what I'm trying to list it at.
So when we get more close to that even supply and demand match, people feel more confident that this slowing has The slowing in the home price growth has sort of come to an end. I think that buyers would be more comfortable jumping in there. We're also waiting to see if interest rates continue to fall. And so I think all of those dynamics are good, and I know we have to go, but I would think that the administration continues to need to focus on the supply side, cutting local regulation, the demand side stuff that they're proposing. I'm not 100% in favor of.
Like very quickly, what like for instance, give me an example of what you're not imposing. The Fannie and Freddie buying two hundred billion dollars in mortgage-backed securities, that just spurs more demand. Pulling out more money from your 401k for a down payment, that just spurs more demand. We need to be focusing on cutting regulations to incentivize builders to build so we boost supply.
Okay.
Okay, yeah, I don't agree. Like I said, I don't agree with everything that President Trump does, but I do think that he has a very good business head on his shoulders, obviously.
So I do think, especially when it comes to real estate, that he's the guy for the job when it comes to that. And I think it's good. I think young people need to get into the market. But to be fair, we bought our first home. I was almost 40 years old.
It's the only home we've ever owned because we saved and we wanted to buy what we wanted because I don't like moving.
So I didn't want to go from house to house to house.
So we saved and that was a choice. But our home needed a lot of work. We've put in a ton of sweat equity and a ton of money into making this house what we want it to be. And I think that that idea has to come back as far as I'm concerned. Taylor Riggs, great to meet you.
Thank you so much for joining me here. My pleasure.
Thanks for having me. Absolutely. Have a great rest of your week. Don't go away. More coming up on the Brian Kilmead Show.
From breaking news to big-name guests, Brian brings you insight you won't hear anywhere else. You're listening to the Brian Kill Meet Show. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. I do not believe state and local governments have the right to interfere with federal officers in the pursuit of legal.
policies and these are all legal. I think that they may well need more training. A little more restraint. I used to talk with British officers and soldiers who've been patrolling Northern Ireland. where you really had a difficult problem.
Because you've been totally nice neighborhood, and 30 seconds later, somebody fired a shot at you. How do you respond responsibly? And I think we may need a greater training program at ICE But I absolutely believe that the federal government has the obligation to enforce the law. and that anybody who tries to stop it is engaged in insurrection. There you go.
Newt Gingrich there, Ahmed Larry. Khalo. And you heard him. I think maybe we need some retraining, we need a little ICE reform. But I think.
What they're going through now, they have the patience of Job. I would not have the patience to deal with what these men and women are dealing with. No way. We all saw the video of a lone soldier in front of a Hotel that these insurrectionists are trying to break into, destroying this property because they these people committed the crime of allegedly allowing ICE to stay there and get some sleep. And I saw it all over social media.
Well, they should know better. These people don't deserve sleep. These people shouldn't have sleep. I was just like, have you heard yourself? Like you, you're nuts.
You're absolutely nuts.
So. And this guy was having things thrown at him. His face is bleeding, his hands are bleeding, and they're just throwing stuff at him, and he's got to stand there by himself because the police were told to stand down.
So, um, I don't think he needs retraining. I think this person did a fantastic job. But let me ask you. If Trump does withdraw some ice from Minneapolis and from St. Paul, from Minnesota.
Does he risk losing his base? Do you think the base says, nope, not what I voted for? And they say not having it. I am not doing this. I'm going to sit out the midterms, which we can't have.
So, does Trump risk Republicans and MAGA? Sitting out the midterms if he appears to be caving to Walls and Fry. I'll get your calls. Think about that. I'm Mary Walter, in for Brian Kilmead.
From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. Welcome to the Brian Killmead Show. I'm Mary Walter, sitting in for Brian. I'll be with you tomorrow as well.
If you'd like to join me, 866-408-7669, 866-408-7669 is my number. You can also reach out to me on X at MaryWalter Radio. There's no S, just Mary Walter Radio. Tag me in a tweet, and I will. Try to get to it during the show while I'm multitasking here.
Also, my live cast is on Tuesday, 7:15 p.m. Eastern Time. It is live on Rumble, YouTube, and Getter. Just look for Mary Walter Radio. You can participate, ask questions, leave comments, and sometimes it's political, sometimes it's not.
Try to cover a have like a whole host of different types of people: directors, artists, photographers, and then, of course, politicians and reporters and all that kind of thing.
So I try to make it very diverse. You can get the audio on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Spreaker. Again, Mary Walter Radio.
So let's talk about President Trump speaking with Governor Walsh. All right. And President Trump was asked about his call with Governor Walsh, and here's what he had to say about that. It couldn't have been a nicer conversation. And in fact, I said to my people, I said, It's hard to believe that's the same guy I watch on television or I watch in a debate not doing so well or because we had a very reasonable conversation, very good conversation.
If you believe the conversation, he'd like to get this thing over with.
So This is what President Trump does. Oh, he's a very nice guy. He did it to Mom Donnie. He just takes a little dig, just like he did with Wall Stair. He takes a little bit of a dig.
I'm not doing so well during the bait. I feel sorry for the guy. He's a nice guy. I do trust President Trump's negotiation skills. I do.
But I want to ask you: if President Trump is seen as backing down, taking agents out of Minneapolis, and it gives the opportunity a left to crow that they won, we won, we beat ice, does that hurt? Republicans going into the midterms. Because I don't think that the base Republican MAGA, whatever it happens to be, or any of the Democrats or Independents who want to see criminal illegals taken out of our country, heck, they want to see all illegals out. I think that will prevent them from voting a Republican as well. They will sit home and not vote, and Democrats will go out in droves because we beat Trump.
Yeah, we got to beat him. Their rallying cry is: gotta be Trump. And if they're seen, in my humble opinion, of getting any kind of victory. against Trump when it comes to immigration. I think you see support collapse.
Uh Republicans lose the midterms. And the game's over. That's done. Nothing will happen. They're going to impeach Trump.
The next final two years of his presidency will be like the four years of 45, right? His first term. Nothing gets done. No progress is made. And then if they win the presidency in 28, you see impeachments.
You see a mass prosecution of anyone who worked with the Trump administration, anyone associated with it. You're going to see Puerto Rico and D.C. become states. You're going to see them pack the Supreme Court. They'll expand it to 13, put all liberals in there.
And I will never see another Republican president or Republican-controlled government in my lifetime. I am absolutely 100% convinced of that.
So I think that President Trump needs as many wins as he can possibly get between now and the midterms to kind of shore up the Republican Party. And I'm not a registered Republican. I'm MAGA, but I'm not a registered Republican. I think the Republicans don't fight and they don't want to win, so therefore I'm not part of it.
Now, in light of all that, and then I'll take your calls, 866-408-7669. I just want to go to Cut 22. This is Representative Mike Lawler. He is a Republican. And he's talking about the non-criminal.
Immigrants. And I'm sorry, but you broke the law when you came across the border illegally. I know it's a misdemeanor, but that's still a law. It's still a crime. You still can get charged with a misdemeanor, right?
So, in my book, there, the word illegal is in the name for a reason. But here he is talking about the non-criminal. Immigrants. Where I think most Americans also agree is that if you have been in this country 5, 10, 15, 20 years, you've been working, you've not committed crimes, you have children or grandchildren that are American citizens, we want a legal path forward, not citizenship, not amnesty, but a legal process forward that those people can come out of the shadows and go through. I don't know.
Maybe that legal process would be: take the money that we're going to offer you to self-deport, go back home, and apply legally to come back into the country. Have your children or grandchildren sponsor you. Although, I do think that the chain migration thing has to stop as well. Because the next thing you know, you've got 25 aunties and cousins and uncles and grandparents, they've got their grandparents and everybody, galore from wherever you're from, is suddenly an American citizen around the pathway and you're sponsoring every single one of them. I think that has to end as well.
All right, let's go to the phones: 866-408-7669. Martin in New Mexico, welcome. You are on the Brian Kilmut Show. Hi. Hi, good morning.
I'll try to be brief. I have so many thoughts on this. I think you and I have a fundamental different understanding of what's going on. This radicalism is. being provoked and funded and orchestrated, and it is I think largely to cover up All of the cats out of the bag, the uh the massive amount of fraud and the fact that that Minnesota had become the centerpiece of Them using illegal immigration to increase their electoral representation.
And I also believe that. Most of the activists have the attention span of a goldfish. And they're going to move on to the next issue immediately.
So I would say give them a timeout, walk away from the situation, let them burn themselves out. and they won't have anybody to blame but themselves. And I don't think it'll cost People like you and I, who aren't registered Republicans but who are MAGA because we see a populist outsider for the first time in our lives. it's a different understanding. And the thing about I'll give you your time back, obviously, but the thing about prosecuting Trump again, like they did.
Before, I don't think you understand sociopaths. They're not as vindictive as people, normal people.
So they didn't go after Trump because they were vindictive. They went after Trump to prevent him from getting back into office. And so I don't see the same mechanism going into force. Because he won't be able to run again. Yeah, so here's the thing: I see them going after him just because you've got, like Eric Swalwell saying, well, former ICE won't be hireable in California.
They already want to impeach Christy Noam. I think that they won't go after him, maybe they won't go after Trump, but they're going to go after Vance. They're going to go after Cash Patel. They're going to go after Bongino. They're going to go after Christy Noam.
They're going to go after Tom Homan. They're going to go after Greg. Anyone who served in this administration, I think that they will go into to ruin them as a warning, you know, kind of like putting the hat on the spike as you enter the village to warn anyone who would even think about going against them in the future. that they can r have the power to ruin you. I can see that, but I believe that the Trump the administration that Trump built the second time.
had a lot had a lot thicker skin. than the first time. I don't think he realized How The corruption was, and then he got blindsided by people he trusted. I don't think that's true this time. I think they're all ready to stand on the wall.
Yeah, it's going to be interesting. It's going to be very interesting, Martin. Thank you so much for kicking it off. I really appreciate that. Let's take one more quick call before we go to break.
Jim in Springfield, Ohio. Jim, welcome to the Brian Kilmead Show. Hi. Hey, Mary. Lovely you're on there.
Hey, Minnesota is just going to be the shiny object starting next week. Don't worry about MAGA. Trevis came out and said Fry's playing with Sire if he's not going to uh enforce immigration. a federal immigration law. But all this is going to shift to Springfield in central Ohio next week.
DeWine confirmed there's going to be a thirty day ice surge. Through Springfield and into the Columbus, Cincinnati Lime and Finlay area, specifically Springfield, in regards to the CPS program, which is expiring February 3rd. There's approximately 30,000 Haitians in Springfield, and Trump's got his eye on ending that fraudulent program. The Haitians come in, they build these enclaves like the Somalians. There's been a lot of fraud with Haitians.
You hear that they're working.
Some of them are working. They've overloaded all the services with the hospitals and the EBT and the medical services and the schools. 1,200 children have been born, and they're leaving them behind, needing foster children. But Trump, this will be. Ground Central beginning next week, and the national media is already moving in.
Um a guy named Carl Ruby, a minister there that was at Cedarville University, is actually the civil d disobedience and violence, they're going to try to lock these people in churches. And um but DeWine confirmed. Everything he's confirmed is 30-day surge beginning February 3rd and 4th.
So we won't even be talking about Minnesota next week. This is the next epicenter in Springfield next weekend. Trump's got his eyes on this TPS. He knows there's a separation between the TPS program and the Hispanic population that assimilate based on values and religion and work and everything else. But the Haitian population is no different than the Somalian population.
Yeah, you got it. You got to assimilate, and that's part of the problem. Jim, thanks for the heads up. This is going to be very interesting. I'm going to think of you if this happens next week.
Jim, thank you so much. I appreciate you listening to the Brian Kilby Show. All right, quick break. We'll come back with more of your calls: 866-40-87669. Or you can tag me in a post on X at Mary Walter Radio, and I'll try to get to your comments there as well.
All right, more coming up. Both sides, all opinions. It's Brian Killmead. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show.
The reality is we're not going to be able to round everybody up and kick them out. And what you see in sanctuary cities like Minneapolis, where they have refused to cooperate with immigration and customs officials, you see chaos, you see lawlessness, you see these types of protests that are spiraling. We don't want that. And I think it was a good sign yesterday that the president and the governor finally spoke and that you saw last night Minneapolis police were assisting ICE with respect to crowd control. That should have happened from the start.
So that was Congressman Mike Lawler again out of New York. He's a Republican.
So you see this chaos. You see the lawlessness. This is what they want. They want to create chaos. They want lawlessness.
And I'll go so far as to say that the far left doesn't care if there are human casualties because it furthers their cause and it gives them another reason to defund ICE, get rid of borders. They don't want borders. They want as many people in. We saw that under the Biden administration. That's their nirvana.
There were no protests under Biden, that millions and millions of people were coming into the country illegally. No idea who they were. Terrorists from all over the world, some from countries that harbor terrorist organizations. We have no clue, and they're here. For all we know, that we know.
We've even said there are sleeper cells in this country that are just being waited to call up to attack American citizens. But they don't care. They want the numbers, in my humble opinion, for the census. And if a few of these useful idiots on the left are dumb enough to put their lives on the line for them, they don't care. They're heroes on the left.
And that to me is a problem.
So I want to go to cut nine. This is Britt Hume. And this is a problem that I've been saying over and over again: that the Republicans have. about the what's going on in Minnesota. The extravagant statements by these uh DHS officials, ICE officials, uh and the DHS secretary over the weekend um didn't play well.
And such polling as there is, Brett, Suggests that people think ICE and DHS have gone too far and they're not winning the PR war in Minnesota. I love every time I hear Britt Hume talk, I just hear Greg Gutfeld doing it on the strategy room. On strategy room, dear lord, on the five and on Gutfeld. I just hear he imitates Britt Hume and I just hear that.
So you hear people on the right now saying, you know what, Trump's not winning the strategy, the messaging war. Trump's not winning. You know, we're seeing the lawlessness and this, and we need to make that stop. And that's what they do. They push and push and push, hoping that the right will give up and stop.
And to me, Trump doesn't do that. But if he does, if he says, okay, we'll pull out, we'll do a compromise, does he risk losing the midterms? Because that's not what the majority of people who voted for Trump want to see. 866-408-7669, Jeff in North Carolina. Welcome.
You're on the Brian Kilmead Show. Hi. Yeah. Yes, ma'am. I just wanted to talk briefly about deporting the people who haven't committed a crime in fifteen, twenty years.
The only question I have is like some of those people might not have a home to go back to. And I think it would be a win for the Conservative Party. I'm neither Republican nor Democrat myself. a lot of blue collar America has had interactions with these people throughout their lifetimes. I wish this would never happen, but get rid of the lazy lazy Americans, you know, to make room for the good people who have been working their butts off.
I hear you.
However, what message does that send to the rest of the world? Just walk into it in any way. Yeah, they get here, get a job, and what do those people who are working under the table do? They undercut salaries for Americans. Right?
Because they don't get health care. They show up in our hospitals.
So now working Americans have to pay more for health insurance. We have to pay for all those people who don't pay. Texas, they say that the cost to Texas hospitals is over a billion dollars a year to take care of these. And that's what I was saying.
Something that would never happen, but get rid of the freeloaders as much as we love them that are our American citizens. I know that's not going to happen. But that would clear the room for the people now that the border's closed. Hey, the ones that are actually going to work, hey, hey, here's your health care. Get back to work.
Right, but realize the cost of that, though. Realize the cost of that. There are plenty of Americans who would love to work construction, would love to do some of these jobs, but because the presence of the illegals undercut them, now you're saying, oh, well, we'll have to pay them. We're going to have to pay for health care. They're going to have to pay into taxes.
So now we've got to make them citizens because they're going to have to pay into taxes and they're going to have to pay into the system.
So now we've got all these more millions of citizens.
Now we make them all millions of citizens, make them all citizens. cost that it's going to be to you and me is astronomical. No, I get that. One final comment, because I know you got more calls to get to. Talking about coming across the border, sleeper cells, all that.
I'm a twenty year veteran on seven combat tours. A lot of those people were caught with biometrics. And it's crazy that this was under the news for during even during the Biden administration, pre Obama administration. When we started using biometrics on their faces, We were catching them at the border and their passport said Javier, but their actual name was Ahmed. And those people have been here for years, and it's scary as hell.
Like I don't think people understand the total threat of why this needs to happen. it's much more catastrophic. And when you're fighting a Islamic jihad, that's basically what they've waged on us, it's quite frightening. It is. It really is.
And this is why I don't think we need to give any more incentives for people to come here. Temporary protected status is just that. Temporary protected status. You may not have a home to go to in your homeland, but you're only supposed to be here temporarily.
So the United States screwed up by letting you stay here for 20 years, and now you're going to have to go back home and go live with your family. And reconnect with your family, and you're gonna. That's just the way it has to be. We can't take everyone in who wants to live here. But thank you so much.
I appreciate the conversation.
Now, over on X, this is interesting, Scott says. Either both should be a protest, frankly. He goes, stop attacking people who aren't armed. He's talking about the quote-unquote protesters, which a lot of these people aren't protesters. They're not peacefully assembling.
They're rioting. Stop attacking people who aren't armed and supposed to be in customs. I'm not quite, meaning, I guess, the illegals. You keep defending this, and it's not working out.
So it's just cruel. And I think some people do feel that way. The left is winning that messaging war. We have a lot to get to, so much to get to.
So we're going to do that. It's going to switch a little bit. I've got a little bit of something else for you to talk about coming up on the Brian Kilmedy Show. The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead.
Welcome back to the Brian Killmead Show. Mary Walter sitting in for Brian Killmead. I'll be with you tomorrow as well. 866-40-8766-9 is my number.
Now, what I want to ask you plays in with the whole immigration thing because we saw in St. Paul last Sunday, we saw that group of about 30 to 40 rioters, agitators, or not protesters, walk in to a Baptist church and blocked doors, blocked stairwells, escape routes, were yelling at the kids, were trying to frighten everyone, cow them into it. We know that they purposely chose a white Christian church and they were talking about, oh, watch the white people run and things like that. And only two of them have been arrested so far. But I wanted to ask you, so it's along, it's in the kind of the same lines here.
I wanted to ask you, do you, when you go to church or temple or mosque, wherever you happen to go to your house of worship, do you have security? Does your house of worship have security? Number one. And number two, if it does not, do you carry? I mean, is that something you can do?
But lastly, do you worry? Do you worry?
Now, I. Go to a church, the only house of worship in a town of 3,500 people. Like they're very small. But I will every now and then. I'm like, you know what?
We are sitting ducks. There is no one here.
Now, sometimes the cops do sit outside because they cross people before and after Mass.
So there's that.
So, and we only have two police officers on duty at any given time. And one of them will just sit out there because they have no other calls.
So they'll sit and they'll wait.
So that makes me feel good. But in the back of my head, I ain't gonna lie, in the back of my head, sometimes it's like, you know. What would I do? Where would I go? Although I have to say that part of me believes if I die in a church, it's probably a faster route to heaven, right, than getting hit by a bus in Newark.
So there's that part of it to me as well.
So I just wanted to throw that out there and ask you. 866-408-7669, or you can reach out to me on X at Mary Walter Radio, no S, if you want to leave a comment there. Let's go to Matt in Howell, New Jersey, listening on WABC. Hello, Matt. Welcome to the Brian Kilmead Show.
Yeah, Mary, thanks for taking my call. I appreciate it, and you're doing a great job. I enjoy listening to you. Just a couple of quick things. If ICE pulls out of Minnesota, I'm less worried about losing the midterms.
I'm more worried about it's going to embolden these agitators. And then they're going to know, hey, all we have to do is harapp the crap out of these ICE agents, and they'll leave. They'll leave. We can just bully them. and we definitely shouldn't be pulling out.
The other thing I think that's going to help us lose the midterms is the fact that there's no accountability. You know, you got Walls and the Mayor of Minnesota and you have that excuse of AG Out of Philly, making threats against ICE and being seditious and traitorous, and nothing's happening to these guys. And I think that's got to. Put a big damper on our turnout and also our chances of winning the midterms. That's a good point.
That is a great point. Didn't think of it. I think you are absolutely right. We are so sick and tired of this double standard, a two-tiered system of justice. And it's probably even more than two-tiers.
The left loves to make a pyramid. You know, they have their pyramid of victimhood and who goes on top. Right. So we have we have the ruling elite, right? We have the ruling elite.
We have the the you know, the politicians and them. Wai we have anyone who has a D after their name is part of it. You have uh the liberal elite because like Hollywood, people with money. The upper class elite. And, you know, anyone with a D after their name, regardless of whether they're part of the establishment or not, is at the very bottom of the pyramid of justice.
We feel like there is none.
So that's a really good point.
So how does real quick about the churches? Yeah, yeah. The church I attend, we have an arms security team. We're all either current or former law enforcement and/or military. We actually train together and we all carry concealed.
So we're ready for any situation. As far as you mentioned, your church, even though it's small, you might have some form of military and or law enforcement that could put together, even if the small security team, one or two people, one or two good guys with a gun can stop a lot of tragedy from happening. Yeah, our priest is kind of liberal, so I don't see that happening. You know what I mean? It's a problem with the Catholic Church in some places.
We have some very illiberal priests, so I don't see that happening. Very interesting, especially in New Jersey, that you have that. Matt, thank you so much for joining me. Great point. I really appreciate you joining me here on the Brian Kilmead show.
Let's go to Tim in Maryland. Tim, welcome. How are you? Hey, Mary, how are you? I'm doing great.
Go ahead. What do you want to say? You're doing a great job. A number of things. Real quick talking points.
This all goes back to the Manchurian candidate, Obama. This all started He gets his third term with Biden.
Okay, then we go ahead with this illegal immigrant thing. And I've told people before, what does illegal mean? They'll be like, oh, they're not supposed to be here. No, Webster's dictionary, illegal against the law.
So they are against the law. Immigrants, okay? The big picture: we're losing the cities one by one. New York. Minneapolis, Seattle, LA.
these we need to use common sense And these rioters need to start getting sued and civil lawsuits tie them up, number one. And number two, I've been saying this for a long time, You just touched on the point. Where's Bill and Hillary Clinton? They are not honoring a congressional. subpoena since August of last year.
August of last year. They should have been arrested. Yep. This is going to hurt our midterms. People are sick.
of these elitist having one set of lols Mary, if you denied a summons to appear as jury duty You have the sheriff at your door or me, hey, you didn't appear for jury duty. We're going to arrest you. It's right on. when you get jury duty. These are people that denied and has not honored a congressional federal subpoena.
I mean, come on, why have they not been taken to task? The same way. with these other idiots. in these positions to keep saying terrible things against the government. We need to stick together.
Or we're going to lose the midterms, and Trump's going to be impeached every week. Yep. Every week they're going to impeach him. Yep. Exactly.
He won't have to leave the White House, but then you know what's going to happen. What? Yeah, I agree. I'm agreeing with you, Tim. But here's the thing: I think there are quite a few rhinos, quite a few old school Republicans who are not on board with MAGA, not on board with Trump, who will be more than happy to see that happen.
And they will sacrifice the midterms as long as they keep getting reelected. They don't care. They're part of the bigger picture. They're part of the swamp. And so they want that.
It's like the two Republicans who are on the side of the Democrats who want to impeach Christy Nell. We've got that as well, and I've got their names here. I'll pull them up in a hot second as to who the two Republicans are who are on the same page. And it's just like, are you kidding me? The Republicans cannot stick together.
At all, and I think part of it is by design. Gotta run, Tim. Thank you so much. I appreciate your analysis. All right, I'll get more of your calls coming up.
866-408-7669. Both of those topics, we kind of combine them together since they both have something to do with immigration and what's going on in Minnesota. With ICE, and how that's going to be moving. We hear from someone who's going to be moving to Ohio next. They're just going to keep moving the circus.
It's going to be traveling like Ringling Brothers, bringing chaos to your city to try to ramp up this fervor for these people to go out and vote in the midterms and suppress. any kind of enthusiasm for the midterms on the right. Is it going to work? Guess we'll find out. 866-408-7669, you're listening to the Brian Kilmead Show.
Keeping you informed, engaged, and always a step ahead. It's the Brian Kill Me Show. The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead. And welcome to the Brian Kilmead Show.
If you're just joining me, Mary Walter sitting it for Brian, I will be back with you tomorrow as well.
So, we've got some conversation going on here. If you'd like to join us, 866-40-87669. And we're talking about, in general, immigration, what we're seeing in Minnesota, you know, going to spread to other states. Does the look, do the optics, and the left's ability to control the message hurt? Republicans, Republican voters, whether you're MAGA, Republican, you could be independent, conservative, but you just want.
illegals out of the country, majority of Americans do. The way the Trump administration is going about it, does it hurt or help them when it comes to the midterms, the optics of this? Everybody says they want illegals out, they want all of them out, yet Okay. People are saying that this is going to hurt the administration. You have some, you've got Tom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski who are siding with Democrats on impeaching Christine Ohm.
Republicans always impeach themselves. They never impeach a Democrat. They always impeach themselves. It's ridiculous. You've got that going on.
And also talking about... These rioters, these insurrectionists just saying it's okay to walk into a church, 30 or 40 of them, shut down the service, block exits, block stairwells so parents can't get their kids out of there, start screaming at the congregation. Don Lemon on the altar harassing the pastor doesn't even get charged because of the robed resistance. And I ask the question, whether you have any kind of security in your house of worship, whether it's just people who can conceal carry, whether you have paid security, or you've got nothing. 8664087669.
Wendy, Reached out to me on exit Mary Walter Radio and said, My church in central Pennsylvania has volunteer security and many retired and current police in the congregation. Many people are carrying, including the pastor. Does that make you feel safer, by the way? Would you feel safer if you had that in your house of worship? Would you?
I know I would. I would feel safer. I really don't think we have anything to worry about. Again, cops often will sit outside just because they have to cross people. And I don't know why they have to cross people because it's a teeny, tiny intersection, but it's one of the biggest ones we have in town.
So they do that.
So a lot of times, if they have nowhere else to go, they just sit there. But that makes me feel good. Let's go to Texas. I'm sure they had everybody's armed church in Texas. Aaron, welcome.
You're on the Brian Kill Meat Show. Hello. Hey, Mary, how are you doing today? Doing great.
So, what's the situation in Texas? Texas is great. You know, we we've been uh dealing with some ice and snow, but uh things are getting better. But uh I I attend uh for the last eight and a half years uh a cowboy church. in Toledo, Texas.
And You know, we've got several teams. uh at the church and we've got a security team. And I'm I'm part of that security team because I'm a retired family physician, so I'm I'm the medical part. of that team. But we've got you know Retired uh Leos.
uh who are carrying we got anybody who wants to carry uh either you know concealed or open. Um You know, it's it's fine. And I I feel comfortable when I'm around people who are carrying and You know, I think uh, you know, anybody who would want to bring mayhem to Our church, when you know, three or four hundred people are there, and many of them are carrying, they're going to have a bad day.
So let me ask you, though, do the optics of all of this help or hurt the Republicans in the midterms? Because seeing the people walk into that church, I think really hurt Democrats, right? I think that that helps Republicans. But overall, this uproar over ICE, the left is very good with fatiguing us and saying, okay, enough, stop. And we get tired of it, and somehow Republicans get the blame.
I don't think it hurts Republicans. I mean, look at that nurse who was shot in Minneapolis. He was carrying. And I don't want to deny his right. I'm a big Second Amendment advocate.
But if he's going to get in the face. of ice and try to disrupt what they're doing. You know, that's that's a dumb idea. Yeah, with that right comes responsibility. And it also comes with knowing that if you're carrying and an officer of the law tells you to get off the street and go stand on the sidewalk, you have to get off the street and go stand on the sidewalk just because you're carrying doesn't make you Superman.
And that's part of it. I was driving back from Livingston, Texas a few nights ago with my girlfriend. Um And we were at our ranch and we were using our twenty two rifles to do a little pew-pew. on on some targets and she's got a lead foot, okay?
So we're we're driving through all these little small Texas towns where the speed limit goes from 75 to 35. And uh We got a pulled over 'cause she was doing seventy five in a sixty zone. And so, you know, the the the lady trooper comes up and you know, my girlfriend said, uh I got, I got. Two rifles in the back seat, and then I leaned over and I said, They're 22 rifles, and they are unloaded. S She was extremely nice to us.
My girlfriend got a warning. You're responsible and you did the right thing. Aaron Gotta Run, thank you so much for joining us here on the Brian Kilmead Show. You got to do the right thing. Yes, he was legally carrying.
And we'll get a breakdown of exactly what happened.
Some reports are out, but a full report is not out. And I don't think we can judge until a full report comes out with any of this. It's just a responsible thing to do. Let's get one more call in here. Let's go to Charlie listening on WABC in New Jersey.
Hello, Charlie. Welcome to the Brian Kilmead Show. It's a pleasure, and thank you for letting me go on. I was telling the other fellow about these immigrants. they're illegal and everything.
The sad part about it is if you go near any Home Depot or Lowe's, you see them all waiting for, you know, work to do construction people, and it's sad because they really want to work. You know, and if they, you know, if there's somebody here that's been here, because, you know, both all my. All of my um grandparents are from Italy. I don't know how they came over, but they worked And, you know, I would say, God forbid if, you know, they're gone now, you know, God rest them, but I would hate to see them go. And the sad part about it is we're even we're even talking about how you got to protect the church, you you got to conceal and carry in the church.
That that would never happen when I was growing up. I grew up I went to St. Benedict's um In Newark, New Jersey, you would never even think of the only ones that would have any kind of firearms were police, and that was it. Exactly. Exactly.
Yeah, that you're 100% right. But here's the thing, and I know these people want to work, and we got to run here, Charlie. But thank you so much for joining me. Have a great week. I'm with you tomorrow, by the way, on the Brian Kill Me Show.
So here's the thing: you know, we say, Oh, but these people want to work. We should keep the ones who want to work. It's great. How much of the money that they take in are they sending back to their family in another country? And then showing up in our emergency rooms for free health care that we pay for.
They're not paying taxes. We're educating their children while they're supporting family in another country.
So, I think if that's what you guys want to do, if we should always keep the ones that we're working, first of all, you're opening the floodgates. It's going to just be an incentive for more people to come here. But we have to start taxing remittances to foreign countries. And if you're sending money to a foreign country and you got a hospital bill, guess what? You're going to have to pay that.
Right? You got kids, you're gonna have to start paying for some taxes to put them in school. We're gonna have to start doing that because if you have enough money to send back, and say your kid's an American citizen or you're a citizen, you don't get snap, you don't get any, you don't get welfare, you don't get these benefits if you have enough money to send back to a foreign country. That's just me, and I think this is something we should look at. Sure, you want to come here, that's fine, but it's not a free-for-all.
But again, that's just me. I'm Mary Walter, and you're listening to the Brian Kilmead Show.
