So glad you're there. The Brian Kilmey Show moving through a very, very busy week. Grip Jenkins joins me at the bottom of the hour, fresh off and getting ready to go on Fox and Friends weekend, fresh off Fox and Friends. And we have Dorren Spielman coming up in a matter of moments. He's the IDF spokesperson.

He's coming us from Israel, former vice president, former vice president of the city of David, and author of When the Stones Speak. It's a really great book. And of course, we're going to be covering all the breaking news, including the new inflation numbers are in. And I think this is really going to be affecting the markets, which are going to be, they're already up.

So I guess they're predicting a number in which the number gets closer to two than three.

So let's get to the big three. Number three. He knows a good deal when he sees one. I can't for the life of me think that we would ever put anything together that didn't fundamentally change Iran's behavior in the region. The great Jack Keene on with me on Fox and Friends 90 Minutes Ago, talking about another aircraft carrier going into the Persian Gulf, getting ready for Iran, should the talks fall apart.

And ladies and gentlemen, I agree with General Keene. They're not going to make progress and they can never be trusted. We're going to be going at it with Iran soon. Number 10. Under the process just completed by the EPA.

We are officially terminating the so-called Endangerment finding. a disastrous Obama-era policy that severely damaged The American auto industry. And that is the President of the United States. I cannot overstate. What the president has done rolling back these environmental, alarmist, green policies since 2009 that have been hamstringing our economy.

It's all been reversed as the EPA is okay as they unwind the unfounded environmental regulations hamstringing our energy and economy. This is revolutionary. You know, I know it's good. Al Gore's mad. Number one.

But even though we're drawing down resources, we still want to have hundreds of special agents here. This is ending the surge, but we're not going away. And let me say this. Over 800 flights a day land at St. Paul, Minnesota.

If we need to come back, we'll come back. Holman pulling out in Minnesota. Guess what? 4,000 arrested, 3,000 plus unaccompanied minors rounded up. Kids that they weren't even looking for, he found.

The truth is, Holman worked with the local government, mayor and governor, and 74 sheriffs to take down the temperature and get cooperation to let ICE do their job. In turn, he said I'd pull out as soon as we could.

So they were successful in Memphis. They were successful in New Orleans, successful in Washington, D.C., successful in Chicago, and eventually successful in Minneapolis. But if you're a Democrat, you could take note and just say: hey, we got to win. Got Tom Homan in, you got Greg Bavino out, Christy Noam takes a back seat. You're able to de-escalate, which indeed has happened.

And you have the gifts from 3,000 Then you got two thousand three hundred, and then the Pres and then the President and Tom Holman decide it's okay to pull everybody out, and that'll be done in a matter of days. Sadly, there's still one six hundred plus criminals, illegal immigrant criminals, who are facing deportation still in Minneapolis, but that's how they want to live. One of the most consequential things happening overseas, as usual, is happening in the Middle East. First off, the rebuild of Gaza can at least get to that phase. The problem is, Hamasa is not disarmed, and I don't think they plan to, despite the Board of Peace convening and looking to move forward.

But they have made progress. Doran Spielman joins us right now. Doran, thanks so much. Oh, I'm sorry. He's going to join us in 15 minutes.

My bad.

So. When we talk about what's happening over there, I'll get into that in detail. But just figuring out what Tom Holman did yesterday, I couldn't cut we maybe played three sound bites, but it was happening during the first hour of our show. Tom Holman brilliantly knew the networks would take his pressure.

So he didn't start and say, hey, I'm pulling out. What he said is I just want to give you an idea of what we accomplished. I'm going to give you an idea of what's happened since I got here and what happened before I got here. And he ran through it. Cut one.

And let me be clear. Mass deportations will continue, and we're not rolling back. President Trump promised mass deportations, and that's exactly what American people are going to get. We're going to enforce the immigration law without apology. If you're in this country legally, we're coming for you.

But what they're doing is putting politics ahead of the safety and security of this nation. And it's pathetic, and it's sick. And what they're saying is so Tom Homans made it clear. The mayor and governor are working with me, and they got cooperation from the local police. But instead of the governor coming out and saying, wow, it was great working with Tom Holman.

You know, it was great two weeks ago to get the call from the president, mayor saying something similar, and we could be walking back. Instead, we have this clown as governor, Waltz, saying that the federal government caused so much damage, I want money. This guy is in the middle of a massive fraud investigation, which is either complicit or ran right over him while it was happening during and before and during his tenure. It might be happening now, where millions, if not billions, of dollars left our country thanks to his corrupt population, mostly Somali, 80 of which have been jailed. And money is left and gotten in Somalia.

Now he wants more money. Go to Somalia and pick up the money there and see if that could pay a few of your bills. And all that damage is because of you. Because they weren't knocking down street signs. They weren't causing corruption.

They weren't stopping people from getting to work that hurt the local economy and damaged property. That was you. Because you told your whole population to get your camera and record everything, and you never condemned the violence. which we saw everywhere. including breaking into a car of an FBI, stealing their guns.

and their paperwork. Biting the finger off one of the agents. You know Todd Lyons was on Capitol Hill. that was televised on C-SPAN, where he made it clear What exactly have they been able to accomplish? Cut six.

What percentage of folks that actually have a detainer put on them? Nationwide, or that are in removal processes, have a final order of removal. Does anyone know that number, that percentage? No, sir, not the percentage. I can give you the, what we're tracking right now is about 1.6 million final orders in the United States, approximately 800,000 of those having criminal convictions.

So he's kicked out 630,000 or gone. 1.2 million have self-deported, and now they're looking for 800,000 who have criminal convictions, and who are seeking 1.6 million who were told to leave and aren't. Instead, the mayor of New York City is meeting and going to eventually meet, but has already had phone calls with Mayor Fry, who's bragging that they forced out ICE. Instead of saying, look, They got out, they did some good things. There's some things we disagree with.

That's what a responsible politician does. And they say the more local it gets, the less it matters about party, not in that horrible city. Do you know anybody that's going to move to Minneapolis by choice? Here is Mayor. Mum Dani talking about the upcoming meeting with Mayor Fry and what he plans on doing when ICE comes to town, Cut 7.

I look forward to getting to know him and also to speaking about the importance of protecting each one of our residents, including the immigrants who call both of our cities home. I am proud of our sanctuary city policies that we have. I believe that our values and our laws are not bargaining chips. They are not things for us to be ashamed of. And they are also policies that have sought and delivered on keeping New Yorkers safe over many years.

I'll let the mayor of Minneapolis speak to the policies there.

So it worries me that some people are going to get the wrong message here when the ICE has got to go to Boston because that's where the illegals go. That's where the criminals go because it's a sanctuary city. Sanctuary state, sanctuary cities attract. That's what we saw. You want to be a sanctuary city?

The governor of Texas, governor of Florida said, yeah, take these people. The governor of Arizona, take these people. Go ahead. And they sent him there. And what happened?

They overwhelmed their airport, overwhelmed their streets, overwhelmed the hotels. And here in New York City, we saw it everywhere. Throwing out the free food they were getting, destroying the free hotels they were staying in, causing havoc everywhere, taking over turf fields as they set up big 10 cities. That chaos is from the sanctuary status that these people welcomed.

So all these bad decisions, I worry that people are getting the wrong message.

Now, did ICE get too aggressive? Maybe, because Trump said we got to do this with a softer touch. Did they need to change their tactics? Obviously, they changed their leadership. Nothing's wrong with that.

But to think that deportation, when 66% of the country want everyone here illegally out. Even though the President, when it comes to the way the President's doing the deportations, is underwater, the objective is still the same objective. That's why the president says, I want to finish the wall. I want to get close to as many people out as possible. and then, I hope, After the midterms, we go for some type of permanent reform that helps people come here legally the right way, that doesn't bankrupt them, but at the same time, we keep our first round draft picks.

Now me saying that, by the way, Angers some people, they don't want anybody here. If you're a student from Bangladesh or you're a student from Norway, they want everybody out when you're done. when you're done with your Stanford degree. I personally want to give them the option to stay because if we train them and they're elite, they can bring us the next generation of weapons and digital content and the next great invention. When we come back, we go inside the Middle East, the threat of Iran and the chance of rebuilding Gaza and having peace in the area.

Doran Spielman, next. HAHAHA Giving you everything you need to know. You're with Brian Kilmead. This is Ainslie Earhart. Thank you for joining me for the 52-episode podcast series, The Life of Jesus.

A listening experience that will provide hope, comfort, and understanding of the greatest story ever told. Listen and follow now at FoxNewsPodcasts.com or wherever you listen to podcasts. A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. We have to make a deal, otherwise, it's going to be very traumatic.

Very traumatic. I don't want that to happen, but we have to make a deal. They should have made a deal the first time, and they got Midnight Hammer instead. And this will be very traumatic for Iran if they don't make a deal. Then it'll be a different story.

But we had a very good meeting yesterday with BB Netanyahu. And uh He understands, but It's ultimately up to me if the uh deal isn't a very fair deal and a very good deal with Iran, then it's going to be a I think a very difficult time for them in the back. Yeah. I guess over the next month. Yeah, it probably won't be a month.

The president's sending the USS Gerald R. Ford, another aircraft carrier, right into the Persian Gulf to join Abraham Lincoln. And now we know they have a lot of assets in place, a lot of jets coming in and out. And of course, Israel needs some time to fortify their defenses because an attack on Iran, they would hit Israel as hard as they possibly could. Doran Spellman Speelman knows this.

He's an IDF spokesperson. He's also in the reserves, former vice president of the city of David and author of the best-selling book, When the Stones Speak. Doran, welcome back. Your thoughts about when the Prime Minister came here and met with the President on Wednesday. What do you think his message was?

What did he walk away with? You know, Brian, I actually think that there's kind of a cover story here that President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu have put out to the public. There's always two conversations with them. On the public sphere, it's diplomacy. But on the inside, we've seen this before, Brian, going all the way back to June.

The two men are coordinated. They were coordinated before the first strike attack on Iran. And now you can hear in the words that, you know, it's as if Prime Minister Netanyahu was trying to convince President Trump to accept a good deal with the Iranians or strike. President Trump knows that.

So if you ask me what those two are really talking about, I think, Brian, they were actually talking about what is going to happen in the Middle East after the Iranian threat is eliminated. I think that was the question. I think that was the real discussion.

Well, true, and I think one thing the Prime Minister said, according to the Institute for the Study of War, which has great information coming out of the Middle East, of course, you have the best, being run in the IDF. Evidently, Netanyahu said showed him video and pictures of how the Iranians ignored his signal not to kill protesters and actually killed 10,000 to 20,000. Maybe they didn't hang them. The president said, stop hanging people, but they did kill them. One thing the President hates is to be to be showed up.

I hate to when Putin does it. Certainly when the Iranians do it. Do you think that's an effective mechanism? showing the truth that what's happening in that country. No question.

I think you hit the nail on the head, Brian. If President Trump is something, he's a man who wants to stand behind his word. He knows what it was to go back to the way America looked under the Obama presidency when President Obama promised the Syrian people that if there was a red line that was crossed, the U.S. would intervene. A red line was crossed and the U.S.

did not intervene and half a million Syrians were killed by the Assad regime. And President Trump doesn't want to be the person that says help is on its way and to leave those people to suffer and have the U.S. just take care of the nuclear problem.

So, yes, I think it is actually very important. And Dora, remember, play it out. Also, the Russians came back in the Middle East. They flew in and they knocked on the door in Iraq and said, we just want to tell you we're going to be in Syria for a while. And they were back in the Middle East first time in decades.

No one talks about the ripple effects of the lack of action. And the president knows that, too.

So I want you to hear the risk. If we have military, a military strike in Iran, what should our objective be? And what's a worst case scenario? Ari Fleischer, who was, as you know, press secretary under George W. Bush, fantastic commentator, said this.

This is exactly why the decisions presidents make are consequential and difficult. If this turns out to be if we use our military, just like when we did against Salamani, the previous Iranian military leader, or the snatching of Maduro, or the use of V-2s to take out their nuclear facilities. This can be very successful for the President and for peace in the region. If, on the other hand, American pilots get shot down, we don't accomplish the mission, the Ayatollah stays in place, we're bombing for weeks. Then it's exactly what President Trump warned he would not do.

So it comes down to success. Can we carry out the mission militarily successfully? Or will it become another quagmire for America? Very difficult call for the president. You fight wars, you're in the reserves, and you're also a spokesperson for one of the finest fighting forces.

You always have to think worst case scenario, right, Doran? Is what he's worried about.

Something that you worry about? You know, Brian, I think that every commander and every leader is always worried. What if the mission doesn't succeed? What if the optics are bad? But at the end of the day, a real leader.

A courageous leader goes and takes the risk in order to achieve the better good. And, you know, when England stood up to Hitler, there were many voices that told Churchill, what are you doing? We're going to lose. He's going to get revenge on us. And Churchill stood strong.

When Roosevelt decided to enter World War II against Japan, there were many that said, don't try to do it. And the same thing when Israel tried, you know, going after our enemies that came after us on October 7th, there were those who said, just let this boil over. We have to deal with our dead. But Israel took the step to go after our enemies and change the Middle East. And I think that President Trump has that courage.

I think Prime Minister Netanyahu has that courage. That's what they share. And I think, Brian, he's going to go for it because at the end of the day, there's no guarantee except one thing. If we leave the Iranian regime, In place today, the future is going to be bleaker when we don't have President Trump in power. True or false?

They've never been more vulnerable than they are right now. Absolutely true. That regime is teetering on the brink of disaster. Those people are willing to take over the regime. They're starving.

The rich are transferring their money out of the country. The Ayatollah is hiding underground. His son is in charge and he is not an experienced leader. This is the time to push the regime. The chances that the next, if the RAGC takes control and they become a military dictatorship, the chance they could be worse, how real?

I don't think it can be much worse than the Ayatollah. We're talking about a man who's investing everything in that country towards developing a nuclear weapon and warheads that can carry it to Israel and to the United States. The people are starving. They don't have water. They barely have electricity.

Who else is going to come in charge? It's going to be worse. We have to make a move here. And I'm sure the U.S., just like with Venezuela, has a backup plan along with Israel of what the options are. We see some of the options.

I'm sure there are others. But this is an opportunity again when you see a Hitler on the horizon before he develops that bomb, before he shoots it, now is the time for us to set the record straight. It would be great to help Phase 2 really work to cut off the funding arm of Hamas. And Hezbollah, if you really want to give Gaza a chance, and I can see how it's all connected, is really, we just and it's all, of course, with the actions in Syria now, a real chance to change things in the Middle East and focus on economics instead of terror. Doran Spielman, thanks so much, appreciate it.

Thank you for having me, Brian. It's a pleasure. All right.

Meanwhile, when we come back, Griff Jenkins will bring us to the other breaking stories. We also have word about the new number when it comes to inflation. The numbers were great on jobs. Will they also be as encouraging on inflation? Probably, arguably more important.

We'll discuss it as you listen to the Brian Kilme show on this Friday. Don't move. The more you listen. The more you'll know, it's Brian Kilmead. Welcome back, everybody.

Brian Kilmy Chow moving through a very busy week. As I mentioned, we're talking about what's happening in Minneapolis. We know the president's had success removing illegal immigrants, cracking down on crime in New Orleans over in Memphis, Chicago to a degree, Minneapolis. I would say yes, but especially in Washington, D.C. It works when people cooperate.

And when Tom Holman came in, they cooperated. And he announced that he's going to be pulling out yesterday. It didn't stop Democrats from high-fiving and thinking that they won, like Amy Klobucher and Mayor Fry, as well as Governor Waltz, which ironic is behind the scenes. They actually worked. And allowed their cops to provide backup and secure perimeters so ICE could be more effective.

700 came out last week, and the de-escalation continued to it's eventually going to wind down entirely. Griff Jenkins joins us now, getting set for Fox and Friends weekend. Tom Holman waited about 15 minutes to say the headline. And that is that he's pulling the rest of his guys out. But before that, he went through the successes that they had, Griff.

Look, it was yet again another masterclass press conference. And I would submit to you, Brian, that the actual headline as someone who's covered this for more than a decade is that he said he didn't have a single sheriff in Minnesota since he's been there. He hadn't found a single sheriff that didn't want to cooperate in having the local authorities identify violent criminal illegal aliens in local jails to transfer them over to ICE so that they wouldn't be released on the streets and be a danger to the community at large. And what's so successful about what Tom Holman did is he came in, he refocused the focus on the worst of the worst, if you will, but really put the focus on getting the local authorities to cooperate. And what's fascinating, you mentioned the Democrats, like Clobuchar and others, they're trying to take a victory lap.

Here's the bigger picture. You have here in New York, Governor. Kathy Hochul wants to push to ban 287G agreements. And that's a technical thing between the federal government and local authorities, but yet it's been around for decades and it does just what Tom Holman has done, which is to identify these illegal criminal aliens who shouldn't be here from being released onto the streets. She wants to actually get rid of it in New York.

In Maryland, they passed legislation. We expect Governor Wes Moore, a liberal Democrat, to sign that will do just that as well. And so while the media wants to report that Democrats won in the case of Minnesota, Tom Holman has laid out the common sense position that got President Trump reelected in 2024 on a mandate to get rid of illegal aliens, particularly the criminals that put the nation at greater risk.

So Tom Holman was on with Laura Ingram last night after his press conference, and I'm sure he wants to get out of Minneapolis. It's freezing. It's a terrible place. Who would ever move to Minnesota? Who looked at those people on the streets in sub-zero weather and thought, I'm so Proud of them.

But if you are proud of them, I'm sure there's plenty of room. Tom Holman talked about the ridiculous moves the Democrats have, not saluting them for getting the criminals out of their midst, and not saying a word when the borders were broken and people flooded in. Cut five. Where were they? The last four years were open borders where, you know, half a million kids died from opioid overdoses, a record number of sex trafficking on women and children.

Over 500,000 children smuggling the country, lost track of 300,000 of them. I said today, just here in this state, we found over 3,300 of them that they weren't even looking for that President Trump found. But you see, Governor Waltz came out yesterday and said they want to be reimbursed for the damage that ICE has done. Really? Yeah, well, that's ironic because most of the damage was done by agitators who were spurred on by Democrats like Walz and Fry.

But, you know, it's such a great point that Tom Holman makes because where were Democrat outrage? Where was that Democrat outrage when you had the hundreds of thousands of children being dumped on the border? I posted a picture to social media in 2023, Brian, of a child that was two years old, terrified, crying. Me and Texas TPS watched him being dumped across. The river rushed to try and assist them.

And you know what DPS does with Border Patrol? They took the child, didn't care, but the child had nothing other than an address in Louisiana and a phone number. And that was a snapshot that I posted on social media that went viral, but yet no Democrat was outraged. There was no AOC crying over a two-year-old child being dumped across the border at the hands of ruthless cartel leaders. And now this is the other part of the promise that Trump made to the country that we would find those children, some 600,000 total, that were either put into this system and they lost track of them, or they simply have no idea what happened to them.

Yesterday, the president had a press conference, and by his side was EPA Commissioner Administrator Lise Elden. Why was it important? Why is it arguably as important as anything he's done? Because it's reversing, hitting the brakes on so much environmental regulation that put into place. In 2009, by none other than Barack Obama, because they couched it as a global emergency to change the way we view and use oil, gas, and coal, or any fossil fuel.

The EPA Administrator Louise Eldon will be hitting the road explaining what they're doing, but essentially saving everybody about $2,600. Cars are going to be cheaper. I'm talking about all the American-made cars. I'm talking about that stop-and-start mechanism that you have when you had your car because it saved gas. Even though it's to start it up and put your foot on the gas, it actually gives you more emissions.

The climate emergency is a clown show. There's nothing about it that was substantiated by science, and they yet you'd be ridiculed if you brought that up. Here's the President of the United States ending the Obama-era auto regulations cut aid. I'm pleased to be joined today by EPA Administrator Lise Eldon, who you all know, and to announce the single largest deregulatory action. in American history.

That's a big statement in American history. And I think we can add the words by far. Under the process just completed by the EPA, We are officially terminating the so-called Endangerment finding. a disastrous Obama-era policy that severely damaged The American auto industry and massively drove up prices for American consumers.

So it sounds. Ho hum and boring, but Griff, it is not. No. Big deal. Big deal.

And by the way, can I just say, I hate that damn auto restart thing. I have a 2006 Toyota 4Runner, and I'm never getting rid of it because it doesn't have that feature. Whenever I travel on the road, which is often, and I get a rental car, literally, if I don't have that automatic button to turn it off, I'm not taking that car. I want to be able to turn that damn thing off. But let me just say, you know, Lee Zeldon, this is a huge deal.

And it's not just. Domestically, I reached out yesterday. I was communicating with Zeldon's team, and I wanted to get Lee Zeldon on with Rachel Charlie and I this weekend. But you know what? He's not available because he's going to the Munich Security Conference.

You're going to hear from Lee Zeldin, who's going to go over to Europe, where much of this green thing started, where the green thing started before Obama got it. They're unwinding it. And he is going to lecture to them. I submit to you, we may see what J.D. Vance did at the Munich conference last year and put Europeans on their heels over free speech.

And since Lee Zeldon is going to bring the hammer to the Munich conference, and it's going to be specifically on them. Not to be jealous, not to get you jealous, but he is joining me on One Nation Sunday night. I'm jealous. Right. Joining us now is Rachel Campo Stuffy because I'm tired.

I called her in because I'm tired of talking to you. I do. Rachel, thank you. It was desperate. I was texting you.

Please come wherever you are.

Well, I really appreciate you having you. Getting ready for the weekend, 6 to 10, Saturday and Sunday. That's right. By the way, did you notice?

So, what he was really, let me decipher this, translate this for people who aren't in TV. What this means, what you just heard before between Brian and Griff, is that Brian scooped us. And either Lee Zeldon likes Brian more or Brian called first. Right. We'll figure that out.

It looks like that. Thank you for calling that out. But good for you. That's a great get. And your show's awesome.

And we love having you talk about it on our show. We just want to take your guess. I know, absolutely. You usually beat us to the punch. But a couple of things.

Barack Obama, when he heard this, the whole. Re-energizing America move by the President of the United States. He said the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding, the ruling that served on the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we will be less healthy, less safe. And be less able to fight climate change.

Also, the fossil fuel industry can make everyone more money. And first, I want to get your response to this, and then I'll tell you what Al Gore said. Did he say that we're going to be underwater soon because of this? This is what they all told us, right? That if we had, if we if we didn't, if we didn't do this and nothing happened, we had their rules, but I mean, come on, give me a break.

This is ridiculous. What this is is an affordability move. I mean, look at how cheap, much cheaper, thousands of dollars cheaper for a car. What he's actually mad about, because he knows the climate stuff is a big hoax, and you can't solve it unless you solve China and India, right? I mean, why should we have to bear the brunt of it economically?

You think Russia is worried about the environment? They're not worried about that. And so, this is an affordability issue. And Trump has been taking, President Trump has been taking on affordability in ways that actually make a difference. I mean, how you buy your first car makes a difference.

Yeah, and you know, to your point about how much it costs. You know, as they told us back then, well, guess what? Who was leading that was Al Gore with his Earth in the Balance. And I actually bought the audio tape because we were using it at the time on radio. And you had, you know, one of his signature lines in the book was: It must be possible to eliminate the combustion engine.

Guess what? That didn't happen. And if we did that, it would wreck the economy. And Gavin Newsom got his way by 2035. They wouldn't be allowed to be sold in California.

There's no way they're going to follow through on that. All these green policies in Europe, they're blowing it up. They got rid of all fossil fuels were tried and nuclear at the same time. And now there's panic as utility bills skyrocket. But you know what they did accomplish with all this climate tyranny?

They do have a population in Europe who's just very compliant. I mean, they may blow up, they may adjust the rules because it doesn't work in the end, but it is, they just have a different mentality than we do. And if you talk to Europeans who are really open-minded and can really look at how they are just as a culture and mindset versus us, they're just a. A much more compliant. Population and these rules that come from the EU and from the WEF that they all just kind of took hook, line and sinker.

It isn't just about the rules, it's about this mentality that you can have these elites in, you know, in in in in the in the capitals of Europe telling you what to do, um, even if you're, you know, you know better. I mean, J.D. Vance was not welcomed after he eviscerated them last year. On free speech. And this year, Secretary of State Marco Rubio goes over.

They'll focus will be on Greenland, Russia. I'm not sure. But Al Gore came out and said this. Last summer, the U.S. experienced a dozen once-in-a-lifetime, a thousand-year floods in the span of just three days.

In Texas, one of those flooding events killed at least 135 people and 37 children. The Trump administration's rollback of the endangerment finding is not only a direct assault on science, knowledge, and public health, it's an insult to the people across the country who are already coping with the disastrous consequences of climate-driven and extreme weather events.

Now, though those events happen, yes. Man's role in this, Al Gore seems to have settled science. I don't think any other clear-thinking, non-agenda-driven scientist does. I think if you look at this, Brian and Griff, if you look at this really macro-wise, right? They're talking to us about climate, but what they're really talking about is that.

About at the biggest level, at the highest level, is about how do you control America, right? They are threatened by the fact in Europe, they are threatened by our economic power. They are threatened by how President Trump came in and instantly leveraged our economic power to do something better for us, whether it's on tariffs, and trade and these rules that he's doing. They have not been able to compete with us, Europe, and they've tried to harness us, stop us with these kinds of international rules. Trump's saying, I'm not taking it.

All right.

We'll take a short time out and we come back a little bit more with Griff and Rachel, who have a big show, 6 to 10 Saturday and Sunday, Fox and Friends weekend. Don't move. Keeping you informed, engaged, and always a step ahead. It's the Brian Kill Meat Show. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it.

You're with Brian Kilmead. We just find it incredulous that we have Planned Parenthood here. And women are 51% of the population. And the majority of the questions, all of these questions, have really been about other issues. And this happens over and over and over and over again.

You wonder why we have such A horrific war on women in this country, and that these guys are getting away with it because you don't seem to care.

So I just offer that. Just love.

So, Gavin Newsom's having a press conference all about Planned Parenthood.

So, abortion. They want to talk about how great abortion is. With love. Right, with love. With love.

Don't you just think abortion and love? Happy Valentine's Day. I mean, it's so gross. But do you see his face? I'm struck.

You know how he always looks very composed? Yeah. He did not look composed. He looked like, oh my goodness, what are you doing? Plus, the question was like, basically, is your husband running for president?

You know what it's like. Trump deals with that every day. He has a world leader next to him, and they're like, what's with the Epstein files?

So he's flipping out. I mean, Griff, that's so embarrassing. It is, and it's time and time again. Time and time again, you know, we keep hearing that Gavin Newsom is the most polished of the crowd, maybe Pritzker, but more so Gavin. He's handsome and he's got good hair and all this stuff.

But it is in those moments that are quite telling, and he wasn't ready for that. Right. So Gavin Newsom, I guess he's going to be running for president. Every week they'd have a different feature. Pete Buddhajudge.

Rachel, I want to get this to you. I think it was Axios. Or Punchball, whatever, that did a whole thing on Buddha Judge. And you know what his weakness is? His weakness is.

He was a bad mayor with no significant accomplishments and at the Department of Transportation. He couldn't even spend money. They gave him billions. He was so lazy and slow, he couldn't even award it anywhere else. And this is what Sean Duffy, who you've met, has mentioned as deportation.

So this guy is going to ran for president. The problem is he didn't do a good job in the preliminary game. I mean, he was like not even there. I mean, literally not even there. Half the building was, or more than half the building, was working from home, you know, still.

And, you know, I think the greatest liability that Pete Buttigieg has going into a potential run is Sean Duffy. And I say that, you know, I know I'm biased, but. It is a bipartisan acknowledgment that the Department of Transportation has never done more than under Sean. And the fact that he was there, it wasn't like, yeah, the plane crash was a wake-up call to Sean on day one.

Okay, what happened here? It took him about two weeks to figure out that our air traffic control system was antiquated. But Pete Buttigud had tons of near misses and never did anything. Instead, he said, I'm going to direct. Billions of dollars that could have gone towards an new air traffic control system, he directed it towards DEI projects.

And one of the things that Sean has had to do is take, and in order to get things done, and whether it's a road or a train or whatever it is that they're building, is pull all this DEI requirement out of it because, like, literally, there are companies that want to build that dam or want to build that, or not the dam, but build that road or build that whatever, and it can't meet all of the regulations for DEI. You know, as a construction company. And so it just didn't get done. See, what Newsom and people do judge have in common is they want to be president. But they don't understand they have to build up their resume and deserve it.

So it's like people, I want to get the Fox News.

Well, what are you doing?

Well, I'm a local station. I don't really work that hard. I take a lot of days off and I try to punch out early. You're not going to get the Fox News that way. Are you?

Is it going to be okay if you do a crappy job as secretary and governor? Can you still be president? Not just a crappy job. Is it to be president or to be nominated?

Well, what do you mean? Kamala was crappy and she was nominated. Right. She was a terrible vice president, too. But no, no, no, I just wanted to lean into what you were talking about, which is, you know, what Sean has done is deal with what we found out when I was reporting on the crash: that ATC had equipment that was 50-plus years old.

And so, Sean's like, how in the world did the last guy here or the other five guys that were there over 50 years not do anything about it? And yet, it is that record for you. Anything you want to promote before you go? Yeah, we're going to White Castle on Valentine's Day. That's watch that with Fox and Friends.

Thank you, Arthur. That's my romantic date with my coach. From high atop, Fox. News headquarters in New York City. Always seeking solutions, never sowing division.

It's Brian Killmead. Hi everyone, so glad you're here at the Brian Killmee Show coming your way. This hour, we're going to be covering all the breaking news, including the latest inflation numbers that it has and how its effect on the market as we close out this week. Big job numbers last week, but the reason why it kind of boomeranged in the world of economics is because if the job numbers look strong, there's less of a chance of the Fed dropping rates. What the market wants is for the Fed to drop rates, and they are desperate to unstick the housing market.

And one way to do that is to do something that might lower the rates and get people to give up their 3.8% mortgage and maybe take a risk on a 5% mortgage. But when it's 7% and 8%, It's very hard to make sense of that unless you have cash. Therefore, if you have a mortgage, it's a different story. This hour, you're going to hear my interview with John Harbaugh, one of the most high-profile coaches over the last 20 years in the NFL with the famous family. His brother Jim's over in San Diego, which is now the Los Angeles Charges, and he is now the coach of the New York Giants.

What it was like getting fired, and what is it like getting hired? We'll talk to him about that. But first, I think we should learn about the big three. Number three. He knows a good deal when he sees one.

I can't for the life of me think that we would ever put anything together that didn't fundamentally change Iran's behavior in the region. General Jakeem, he knows a lot of people that lost their lives or changed their lives due to the Iran militia and their insidious terrorist activities, especially in Iraq. And now he sees them as weak as ever, and they are on the clock as the aircraft carrier, the Gerald R. Ford, steams his way to the Persian Gulf to join the USS Abraham Lincoln. Are we moving?

in a war direction. Number two. Under the process just completed by the EPA. We are officially terminating the so-called Endangerment finding. A disastrous Obama-era policy that severely damaged the American auto industry.

More than that, so much of oil, gas, and fossil fuels because the world has a fever. EPA is A-OK as they unwind the unfounded environmental regulations hamstringing our energy and our economy. Ladies and gentlemen, this is revolutionary. Mm-hmm. Number one.

But even though we're drawing down resources, we still want to have hundreds of special agents here. This is ending the surge, but we're not going away. And let me say this. Over 800 flights a day land in St. Paul, Minnesota.

If we need to come back, we'll come back. Holman pulling out in Minneapolis. 4,000 arrested, over 3,000 unaccompanied minors rounded up. The truth is, Holman worked with local governor, lurked at the local mayor, worked with 74 sheriffs, and they changed the way things were working on the ground. And the spirit of cooperation was real, even though it wouldn't be backed up and confirmed by Democratic leaders.

In fact, the governor of Minnesota actually said they want to be reimbursed for the damage they say ICE has caused. You radicalize your society to make sure ICE the best they could would not be effective in rounding up the criminals amongst you, those on the deportation list, not even access to the prisons. You've altered the way we did that, and in turn, you have some damage. How unbelievable is it, and what gall. And a governor that watched billions of dollars being shoveled out of his country into Somalia, not saying a word.

Denying it he knew anything. With an A G that embarrassed himself on Capitol Hill yesterday in Ellison.

Now he says, I want the government to give me money. You've wasted more money than Minnesota could spend. Here's Tom Holman yesterday. and talked about how now Democrats are high-fiving thinking they forced them out. When the real problem was what they did the last four years, and the goal that Tom Holman is talking about is not walking away.

It's bringing down the temperature. Getting cooperation. It was only meant to be a surge. A surge goes hard and they pull back.

Now they're pulling back, cut three. But even though we're drawing down resources, we still want to have hundreds of special agents here drawn down on the fraud here from the Somalic community and others. Those fraud investigations are going to continue until they're done. We're going to hold people responsible. We've also got investigators here doing the church investigations, including Don Lemon.

We're not walking away from everything. We've achieved what we came here for. This is like any other surge operation. LA, it ended. Los Angeles, it ended.

Charlotte, it ended. New Orleans, it ended. This is ending the surge, but we're not going away. And let me say this. Over 800 flights a day land in St.

Paul, Minnesota. If we need to come back, we'll come back. Right, and it's absolutely true. And there's a few things that I want to go over. I told you about how many have been arrested, how many criminals have been taken off the street, but there is some numbers that are disturbing.

And that is. And that is how many people are still there in Minnesota. Because Todd Lyons was testifying on Capitol Hill, which is kind of tough for him because it wasn't really his policies, like it or love it, or don't like it. But he had to go defend it. And he wasn't for what Bovino was doing.

He wasn't for the way in which the Secretary of Homeland Security, Christy Noam, was portraying it. But we do leave with significant people still intact there. We've um If you look at the numbers, and by the way, there's A lot of Republicans were upset they were pulling back at all. But if you look at the numbers, there's still s over 1600 People who should be deported, who have ignored deportation orders, that need to be rounded up in Minneapolis.

So there's still going to be operations, but it's not going to be like the surge activity you see. And my hope is they set up a communication, even if it's under the wire, in order to allow the local police to provide the pro to secure the perimeter. Here's what Tim Waltz wrote. The campaign of retribution by the federal government has been more than a short-term disruption. It has inflicted long-term damage on Minnesota communities.

Recovery will not happen overnight. Families, workers, and business owners are feeling the effects, and our responsibility is clear. We will help rebuild, stabilize businesses, and protect jobs. First off, Governor Waltz, you still have not rebuilt the business sector that you helped destroy and allowed burned down during the George Floyd riots. Remember, Minneapolis took a knee.

To the rioters and allow them to take over the police station. And then we see the video of billions literally going out the door.

So, an IG report says that the President Biden, by the way, skirted rules. On a five hundred twenty nine million dollar migrant deal during the twenty twenty one unaccompanied minor surge. Remember when all those kids came across without parents? No one had a heart then. We weren't blaming Trump for that.

What are the kids doing?

Well, they were told that the kids come, they can stay, so they stayed.

So what this guy did, the President Biden. He actually bypassed federal rules to award $529 million to no-bid contracts during the 2021 unaccompanied migrant surge. The Administration for Children and Families awarded a one-year contract to Family Endeavors, a nonprofit that has recently hired, a guy that is a former Biden Obama staffer. The OAG found the ACF failed to follow requirements for full and open competition and determined the contract exceeded the agency's estimate by more than double.

So, what I'm trying to say is. You had no problem. When 9 to 11 million came here illegally, 2.5 were gotaways, which means they're up to no good. You had no problem when the illegal immigrants surged into cities, taking over your airports and your vacant hotels. You had no problem when Majorca said the border was sealed and he lied.

You had no problem when the person who was border czar vice president did nothing, said they were working on the root causes of migration. These are all incompetent idiots. And you might even think that Waltz was going to run for president. We know Kamala Harris is. This is their first example of an epic fail.

You might not like the way Trump's doing it, but you agree with the objective that 66% say they want every illegal out. That's what you guys said, not just Republicans. John Harbonners. Uh Radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmade.

Hey, welcome back, everyone. If you're looking for me on Wednesday afternoon, you probably would have to find me in New Jersey at Giants Stadium. Why? Their indoor practice facility is the place I caught up with a brand new coach, one of the most successful of the modern time of the NFL. After 18 seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, he was let go and it became a bidding war for his services.

The Giants is where he ended up. A famous franchise, yes, but has nothing but losing mostly for the last 10 years. Can he turn that thing around? Even with the president urging the Giants to hire John Harbaugh, it was anything but certain.

So I want to bring you my exclusive interview, the entire thing.

So here is part one of my interview with the New York Giants coach. With one hundred ninety three wins, he walks into that building that had just four last year.

So coach, how does it feel? I see the last time I saw you were in You're practicing Baltimore, you're living and breathing Ravens, and now I'm seeing an NY on your chest, a nice pullover sweater for this winter, and you're in this beautiful facility in New Jersey. Does it feel like you're the Giants head coach yet?

Well, it does. It does feel like the New York Football Giants. I mean, I got a big sign right over there that says New York Football Giants. We've got the four trophies up here in the indoor. It feels like the Giants.

But you didn't grow up in New York, right? This was not your area, but what does this team mean to you?

Well, I grew up as a football fan. My dad was a football guy.

So the Cleveland Browns were our team. That was one of the original teams.

So the Football Giants were pretty special.

So we had every historical football book that you could have. I mean, I read about White, and I know about Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi. I mean, all that stuff was just kind of a part of our life growing up. And of course, one was the offensive coordinator, one was the defensive coordinator on this team. That's right.

That's some talent. That's pretty powerful. I want to be the head coach of that team. Yeah, you get a lot of trophies. But so, coach, I was really struck.

I see a lot of press conferences, and with the Giants, they've had a lot of new coach press conferences. But for you, having that job days after being fired from another job, you seem extremely happy. And what did it mean to have your family there, your mom and dad there? It meant everything. I mean, to see mom and dad sitting in the front row, they were there 18 years ago.

You know, with my wife, and my daughter was there in Baltimore, and here we were for this next leg of the journey, so to speak, and they're with us still, doing great. Dad still giving me the same advice: the team, the team, the team. You know, good, rough, tough physical football. That's what we've always been about, that's what we grew up with, and then my wife being there. It's just a new journey, and then walking in and the players.

There was a bunch of players here. They didn't have to be here. They showed up and they were standing right there when I first walked in. It meant a lot. Those frantic days before you took the job.

Can you bring us inside that moment? There's certain things you have to have, right? Yeah. Well, I mean, they were great. I always kind of knew it was going to be the Giants if they wanted me.

And there were a lot of great conversations with a lot of teams. I mean, I talked to every team, and they were phenomenal. You realize how many great people there are in this league, how many great owners, GMs. It was really, really awesome to get a chance to know everybody, but I just kind of always knew it was the Giants, I guess. And then when I came here on that Wednesday, When it kind of got out that I was going to be the giant coach, we had a great day.

I mean, they roll out the red carpet and we had good conversations, and I got a chance to know the mirrors and the tissues. And I felt like, man, this is exactly what I thought it was going to be like. This is this family environment. First class operation, the New York Giants, the history, having a chance to be in New York City, you know, this fan base, that was all a really big deal. But it can't just end at that, it can't just end with a good feeling.

You know, it had to be something that we knew we could. build together the right way. And that took a couple days. They sort it all out. Bill Parcells, famously, I think he said it with New England, said, you know, if you want me to cook the meal, I gotta shop for the groceries.

They want to let me do that. They want you to cook the meal. Do they let you shop at the grocery store?

Well, yeah, you know, it's important, but it's also a team deal. I mean, every single operation in football does it the same way. They all work together.

So, really, all the stuff about who makes the final decision and all that, I think it's all overblown, at least with the teams that do it right. I mean, you got to be on the same page. And we kind of came to an agreement through this whole process. It's something that we did in Baltimore: we're going to agree. to agree.

We're going to find a way to agree. You've got to find a way to get on the same page about any player you bring in. It doesn't matter who somebody else drafts, it doesn't matter who you don't get. My dad told me this in recruiting way back when. It matters who you get.

You got to get the right guys for your team, and if we can all come to an agreement on that pick or that signing, then we're going to be in good shape.

So, we're really going to work together on it. It was that, it was other things that just we felt like I just wanted to be, you know. Going in the front door, we all believed in the same things. Two years ago, I saw you on the field, Ravens Giants. Yeah.

They had really no quarterback situation, playing out the string, and you always spin positively. You're like, well, they got a local hero here, he's going to be starting, the local guy. And the Giants didn't stay with you for a quarter. If you watch the Giants games, which you did prior to this, it was a different team with a very similar record from the football guy. What did you see?

on that tape that made you think. That this is a thing that I could turn around? That's a great question, and that's exactly what happened. I saw a football team playing to win, I saw a bunch of guys playing physical. tough football.

a bunch of guys that cared. You know, they weren't concerned about the record, they were concerned about the game, the series, the play, you know, and trying to win that play. I mean, I saw a quarterback throwing his body around trying to win football games, you know. As a rookie. As a rookie, I saw an offensive line.

I saw a running back, you know, powerful. I saw a defense flying around. They didn't make plays all the time that they needed to make to win games. I mean, we had the same issue in Baltimore. Every team does.

But they were playing the game the right way.

So I'm like, well, I think I can work with these guys.

So you saw enough there that it wouldn't be, even though the record was, they've been only 7 in 27 in the last few years.

So that's not. A type of record where you're hitting the ground and you just need one more piece. How do you feel about that?

Well, I just never thought one more piece was ever the answer. I mean, all the teams that think, hey, this will be the one piece to get us over the hump, you find out it's really all about kind of the whole and the way the parts mess together.

So no team is as far away as you think, no team is as close as you think. Every team in the National Football League is kind of in the same plane. You know, it's not like college football where you got these big swings.

So this team is good enough to do great things next year, but you got to earn it. You got to earn the right to play in big games.

So there was a big game. Super Bowl Sunday. Yeah. This guy, Mike McDonald, head coach of this now Super Bowl championship. This guy.

Yeah. Seattle Seahawks. He was your intern. Yeah. He was my intern, then he was my linebacker coach, then he was my defensive coordinator.

He couldn't say enough nice things about you. This is Mike McDonald when asked about John Harbaugh. I don't think I don't think it's possible to overstate his influ influence on me. Uh I love John Arbaugh. He's a uh He's my one of my biggest mentors.

Um was willing to take chances on me when other people weren't. And and invested in me and my career throughout. And and stretched, you know, like the things that I felt like I could do he He had a vision for me in my career that I probably didn't have for myself, and all those principles that are part of his program that he's about as a person. Uh resonated with me and uh Those are a lot of the foundational principles that we that we brought to Seattle. Um He's also he's a great friend, he's got a great family, so I uh can't tell you how much I love it.

Your thoughts? It's the first time I saw it, I read it, the first time I heard him say it. Yeah, my thoughts are it kind of makes me a little choked up, you know what I mean? It's a meaningful thing, you know, and uh And it it uh I remember, you know, you know, Mike, Mike is an introspective guy. He's a guy that thinks everything through.

I just I couldn't be more proud of him. You know, sometimes you can You know, when you come up through the ranks, you know, you kind of can doubt yourself, and you wonder if it's ever going to work for you. And I remember kind of telling them one time: it's like, you know, it's okay to dream big, it's okay to have high expectations. I mean, actually, it's okay to be a little embarrassed by what you want to accomplish. You know, people aren't laughing.

At your dream when you tell them, then your dream's not big enough. You know, it needs to be so big that people laugh at you and think it can't be done. And here he is now, Super Bowl champion, because he was willing to. To believe it was possible. But you could you saw something in him.

Oh, yeah. I mean, Mike's always been smart. He's been, he's a good person. He's got a great heart. He cares about people.

He works really hard at it. He put his players first all the time. He's a great family man. He thinks about two things. He thinks about the football team and his family.

Football team and his family. And his dog, who's part of his family.

Now he's got kids now.

So he's just the right kind of guy, but everything always mattered to him the most. He took everything personally and he wanted to be good at it and he treated people the right way. To see him be successful, man, it's just like. I don't know. It's like your own success, right?

It's like when your kids have success. It's better. It's better when the other people have success. I know what you're saying, but I know the Giants want you to have success. But just having those few moments.

We're going to beat the Seahawks now. I know. And when you play, it's going to be different. And I guess he knows your buttons and you know his. All right, part two, we're going to discuss more about what he's up against in New York.

Can he handle the press? And what his goals are personally, like finding a house. Don't miss the rest of my interview with John Harbaugh. From breaking news to big name guests, Brian brings you insight you won't hear anywhere else. You're listening to the Brian Kill Me Show.

Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Hey, welcome back. I had a chance to catch up with John Harbaugh, one of the most high-profile and sought-after coaches in the NFL who had a job for 18 years and then hooked up with the New York Giants. And there's a sense in this media market that he's going to turn this thing around right away.

So, in part one, I talked about what he has meant to Mike McDonald, the Super Bowl-winning coach of Seattle. He hired him as an intern. In part two, I look at Jackson Dart, what he learned by shaping an offense around Lamar Jackson, and what Jackson Dart did. In fact, Jackson Dart came down to our interview before just to introduce himself. That's what a humble guy he is.

Here's part two of my interview with the head coach of the New York Giants, John Harbaugh. Let's talk about something that hadn't happened. You have this incredible run with the Ravens. You have this fantastic relationship with the owner, seemingly, and you've said that in the past. What is it like that moment after 18 years in a Super Bowl playoffs and 193 wins?

193 wins. That feeling when it's like, John, I need to speak to you.

Well, I knew it was coming, you know. Eric gave me a heads up. And then I talked to Steve and it was okay. It was okay. I knew I understood it.

I understood what he was thinking. It's a move I might have done myself because I kind of think I know what he's trying to accomplish with it. And I told him that. I said, you know, because he felt bad about it. You know, he was really emotional about it.

I think he felt like. I don't know. And I just told him, I said, you know, we're going to be friends for life. You know, you don't need to apologize. You're doing what you think is best.

You're doing exactly what I would do. You've got to make a tough decision with a player or whatever. Uh is going to be okay. And then uh Then I hung up the phone and then then it sets in. You're like, ah.

It's over. It's over, you know? And then you start thinking about what's next, I guess, but all that gets messed up together in your emotions. We've all been through it, people know. Everybody watching knows.

There's that moment where you, you know, so you don't get that job or you get fired from that job. And I guess you got to learn from it. There's a belief I think some great coaches have said, yeah, you got 10 years. After a while, the players start turning you off. Do you believe that?

Well, it was 18 years.

So if they started turning me off after 18 years, I'm okay with it. But you know what? I don't really believe that. I mean, I do think that, I do think everything runs out. I mean, nobody survives life.

Nobody makes it out alive. And that's okay. It's just the way things are. But I know right down to the end, those guys were fighting. I mean, I saw the way they played.

I saw their eyes in the team meeting room. I know how they took the field. I know how they believed in each other and the coaches and everybody else. I think our guys gave their very best right to the end, and that's what I'll be proud of. I mean, you know, 18 years of football.

People watch the Ravens play. And they'll always say, that's what the Ravens look like. This is how everybody can describe the Ravens. Any football fan can tell you, hey, what are the Ravens like? They'll tell you, rough, tough, physical, disciplined, hard-nosed football.

That's a good feeling for you. That's a great feeling. That's what I take away from the thing. And they played that way to the end.

So I'm proud of those guys. I love those guys.

So let's talk about the end. You hit that field goal, Tyler Luke hits that field goal. Yeah. You rookie. You're in the playoffs.

And once you get in the playoffs, you know how to win. And if you get deep in the playoffs, maybe we're not here in New Jersey walking the giant field. But I saw a video. A view. walking through the tunnel, the back of your head and your arm was around Your kicker that just missed a 44-yard field goal, and he said he just missed it.

What did you say to him? Why was it important for you to do that? I just said to him, it's going to be okay. And you're going to be okay. And it's going to be all right.

and things are going to be fine. And that was really all I said. And he was crying, you know, because it mattered to him, because he felt like he let everybody down. Why? Because I was walking up behind him and it's like one of those God moments.

You know, it was a moment where there was no other option. Like, I didn't think about let me go find Tyler. It wasn't like in my plan. I was feeling sorry for myself and everybody else. You kind of knew it was over then, too.

I don't know, but I just didn't want to lose the game. We're right there. You have a chance to win. You get stunned. We had the same thing happen to us in New England in 2011.

You know, it's like, it's a shocking moment. And you're walking off, and there he is. I'm walking down the hallway, and there he is right in front of me. He's by himself, and I could see he was just kind of staggering almost all the cameras. And it was just like, man, I just like God told me, it's like, you gotta go walk up and put your arm around this guy.

It was just too easy to do it. And it was the right thing to do. And it just, you know. He's a good dude, you know, and he's going to be better because of it. What I noticed with you is despite the stress in the game, I've seen you have heartbreaking losses, unfortunate bad calls, and missed field goals.

But I'd never see A painful look on your face. It's almost like I gave it everything, I put him out there in the wind. I win, I feel good, I lose, I wish I didn't. And is that that grounding come because you seem to be a very spiritual guy? Like, do you seem to always have it in perspective?

Yeah. Is that because I'm on the outside, or is that an observation that's accurate? You know me. I mean, you know, we're friends, and you know me, and I see the same thing in you. It is because of that, because I really believed, and I think our team believed, that we were on this sort of the spiritual quest a little bit, whatever your beliefs might be.

We would start off one and five. And we were down at the bottom, man. We were at the bottom of the earth. Predicted to win it all. Had to swim our way all the way back to the top to the surface, just barely get our head above water.

Fighting to the end, even in that game, which was like almost a representation of the whole season, you know, the fight. The inconsistency sometimes, but found a way to fight our way back to that moment. And you thought, this is the way it's supposed to go. We're going to win this game. We're going to be in the playoffs.

We're going to have a shot. We could win the whole thing. We could be that good. You just knew that that was what the plan was, maybe, that God had for us. And boom, it goes wide right now.

That's not what I expected. Wow. I thought we were going to come out of it. I thought we were going to surface. I thought we were going to come out of it.

Boom. And then you just gotta kind of ask yourself, well, why? It's like, well, you know. We make our plans, God orders our steps, you know, and this is the way it is. This is the way it's supposed to be.

This is the purpose, somehow, some way. Interesting. Um one thing that you have You had with um The Ravens, you had a young quarterback with a lot of talent and maybe overachieved from what the draft thought. And now you got Jackson Dart, who people thought, yeah, first round draft pick, we'll see. Jackson Jackson.

And then, yeah. And then you see what he did. I haven't met anyone, Giant fan or Giant hater, that isn't thinking this guy is going to be special. How much did that have to do with your decision? And when you looked at the film, besides the toughness, what did you see?

Well, it had a lot to do with my decision. And when I looked at the film, I saw a talented quarterback. I saw the same thing I saw with Lamar Jackson. The same thing. When you watch the tape, even though everybody said Lamar wasn't a quarterback, not everybody, but too many people, said he wasn't a quarterback, you look at the tape and you say, this is a football player, he's a quarterback, we can do something with this guy, now we're gonna have to do something nobody's ever done.

We did something nobody's ever done in 2019. We built an offense that now changed the way the game is played. You see that you see those plays now. In football, all over at every level. You never saw them before.

Give me an example.

Some of the read option plays, the midline read option plays, some of the play actions off of it. Oh, the idea that you want to extend plays, that you want to have a play on top of a play, on top of a play. Lamar created all that. You know, with his natural ability, who he is as a player. I'm not saying we saw exactly what it was going to become, because Lamar made it happen, but we decided that we were going to believe that it could happen.

It could be. A quarterback could play differently than what everybody was used to seeing. Is that possible? I don't know. Let's try to create it.

So we did it in 2019. Four years later, we did it again. With a different version, different iteration.

Now they're going to do it again, a third time. That's their goal. That's what they should be doing. I root for them.

So, okay, Jackson Dart.

Well how's he gonna he's gonna play Jackson dart ball?

Okay, it's gonna be Jackson Dart football. That's what we've got to create with our offense. We've got to create an offense for this quarterback at this point in time to give him a chance to be the best he can be. And, you know, I know we can do it, and I'm looking forward to it. And you'll have his, you could do these compound plays.

Right. Well, it'll be built around. It'll be built around his skill set. You know, the things he does well. He does so many things well.

He's different than Lamar Jackson, right? But he's Jackson Dart. He's who he is. He's the way God made him, right? And I just think it's our job as coaches to bring that out.

And for any coach out there, I don't care what you're doing, teacher, you're running a business. I mean, you've got talented people around you. You got talented people working with you and for you. There's things they do well. Find those things that they do well and make the most of.

Don't try to make them somebody they're not. That's one of your coaching things. And also for you in New York, I know people have to tell you there's a whole different standard. And you know how quick, not so necessarily they turn on you, but how much they want to win and how demanding they are. They still show up in the parking lot with four wins.

It's still packed, they're still tailgating. Do you know you can handle that pressure? Oh, yeah, I can take it. I'm sure I can take it. We've seen a lot of giant coaches blowing up, and not that that's bad, it actually makes it interesting.

I got scars, man. You know, I've been a lot of it's like you've been in fights, right? I mean, if you don't have any scars, you haven't been in any fights. You know, if you got scars, you've been in fights. You're gonna get hit, you're gonna get bloodied.

I've been hit, I've been bloodied a lot, you know.

So, this, I'm ready for, I'm ready for whatever. That stadium right out there, you see it right out there, that stadium right there, that's gonna be our home. You know, it's gonna be a fun place to be. It's gonna be our arena, it's gonna be our battleground. I can't wait to go in there and start throwing punches.

I'm looking forward to it with a football team, a bunch of guys that want to throw punches together.

So I don't care about the rest of it. The rest of it's going to be fine. And what are they going to do? They're going to say bad things about you? They're going to say good things about you.

I'm more worried about when we start winning. We start winning a bunch of games in a row, what they start saying about us that we don't buy it. They start patting you on the back and telling you how great you are, Brian. You're great, you're great. I don't get that.

But so, okay, you don't want to get too ahead of yourself. But people have expectations, and I think that's important. All right, coming up next, more of my interview with John Harbaugh. We wrap things up about how he's going to handle the New York press and. Meeting Donald Trump.

You'll listen to the Brain Kill Me Show. It's Brian Killmade. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Joe. Hey, welcome back, everyone.

Finally, the last part of my interview with John Harbaugh. What a fantastic guy on handling the New York press. It's different than Baltimore. It's different than with his brothers, even dealing with Los Angeles. Also, meeting Donald Trump and the blowback he received.

But just because he met him, he pointed out he met other presidents and they said, congratulations. With Trump, they said, what are you doing? Also, what he thought with Brian Dable, the guy that was fired that he replaced, kind of recommendations that he gave in Tom Coughlin's role, the Super Bowl winning quarterback with the Scoop Bowl winning coach with the New York Giants, and why he's been a mentor to John Harbaugh even at the age of 63.

So, my interview, part three, with the coach of the New York Football Giants, John Harbaugh. Listen up. A couple of things happen. You're going to get a lot of questions about the press. From the press, a lot of people, they're going to be questioning you and you're going to be looking at them saying, did you just coach 18 years and win 193 games and you're questioning my decisions?

Are you going to get that from different angles maybe instead of two or three? Yeah, I mean, to me, that's normal. To me, what you have to understand is that the game of football is a real-life game. It's really tough. And the guys who play it are real-life warriors in an athletic kind of sense.

And so that's what the game's about. But the business of football is entertainment. That's what pays all the bills. And if you understand that, like, it is entertainment. You're in the entertainment business in that sense.

And you've got an audience out there and they're a part of it. They want to be involved in it. And it's like reality TV. That's what makes it so compelling. And you're an actor in this whole thing.

It's a drama.

So embrace it for what it is. If they want to criticize you and say you shouldn't have gone forward and forth and won, it's like, that's part of the deal. That's what you're in it for. Let's have the conversation. I'm going to back down.

I'll tell them what I think. And I'll try to be nice about it as much as I can. But we're all doing our best. Really be afraid of that. Understood.

So you had a chance to meet four presidents? I met uh I met Ronald Reagan. I met President Obama. Right. And I met President Trump.

So three. And then you meet President Trump, and I watched this video. You were getting questions, not about the game. And you guys started going, got off to a slow start. You were getting questions about Trump.

Did it surprise you? Like why you would go? It did surprise me. And was it surprising you you lose your job with the Ravens and the President of the United States puts on Truth Social? Like, if I could just paraphrase, hey, Giants, do not let this guy go.

It did surprise me. What was that like? It was crazy. I got, all of a sudden, I started getting to bing, bing, bing, my phone starts going off, and there it is. It's like, man, okay, I guess that's where he's the president.

You know, I guess that's what we're going to do. What did your parents say about that? About saying to go to the Giants, they were fired up about it. I mean, we loved it. We loved meeting President Trump.

We loved all of his group. It was awesome. It's pretty cool. And it just goes to show you how blessed we are. To do something like this.

You know, that the President of the United States even knows who you are. It's crazy to me.

Well, it makes sense to me for him to know who you are, especially at President so engaged in sports. Yeah. I mean, he's in everything, but better for better or for us. America 250 this year. You understand history, what this means, celebrating.

You're going to be on the field for that, a lot of things. What do you think people should keep in mind celebrating America's 250th birthday? Oh man, I mean, I think people should keep in mind that this is the greatest country, and this is the greatest experiment in governing, and the greatest experiment in society building that's ever been attempted in the history of the world. I mean, what this is about is never even comprehended in the history of the world until 1776 when these founding fathers came up with this idea. And then it was founded on some premises that they weren't ready to achieve and we still haven't gotten there yet, but that's okay.

We're fighting our way to accomplish all the things that this country was founded on. You know, we should try to do it together. That's what I think. And on the sidelines when the international anthem plays. Yeah.

I'm going to be proud to be standing out there. Proud American. Uh John, lastly. Prediction.

Okay. Coming season. You can be walking into a team. Four wins. What could you tell the fans?

What could you tell the observers about what you expect this year?

Well, I think the thing that you can say with certainty, because nothing is certain in life, we're not given to know the future, but what you can say with certainty is that the New York Giant football team will walk, will get off the bus and walk into every one of those stadiums this year and will expect to win the game. We'll be playing the kind of football that is winning football. We play the kind of football that's going to make the fans proud. And our plan is going to be to win every single game we play. I mean, that's the idea.

And that's what we're going to be fighting for. I keep hearing the word culture. The minute you walk to the building, we have a different culture, different demands. Can you give us an idea? What do you mean by that?

What does that mean? I mean, yeah, you know, culture is such a crazy word, but it's like it's a worldview. It's a common understanding, you know, shared understanding. It's a vision, you know, and it's a way of looking at things. And like, I think our guys are going to, we just want a bunch of guys.

I want a bunch of guys around me that love what I love, which is football. I mean, we're here for football. And if you love football and you love practice and you like meetings, you like coming out in this turf, you want to be on the grass or the plastic grass, you know, if you like meat, if you like to talk ball, if you want to hang around the office, you know, if you like going to the cafeteria and being around the guys, then you're going to like being a New York giant. You know, you're going to want to be a giant because that's what we're going to be doing. Wasn't it interesting that Brian Dable and Tom Coughlin have one thing, two things in common?

They both ended up being fired by the giants and they both thought you should take the job. And they said great things about the organizations. What did that mean to you? They did. It meant a lot to me.

Because Tom Coughlin. I mean, is a hero to me. I mean, I look up to Tom Coffin. He's one of my best friends in coaching now. And just because I, I mean, I look up to him.

And it's for him, you know, he was calling me every day, basically. He was giving me advice. He was telling me what to say. He was telling me what to think. I mean, and then Brian Dayball, like, I know Brian a little bit going in going to this operation, going to this situation, but we've probably talked about it every other day.

And he was telling me about the team and things, and he never said one thing about the Giants organization, the players, anybody that was negative. I mean, it was amazing. That kind of got me fired up. He's going to be head coach again. Oh, absolutely.

So John, one of the first times I met you, I interviewed you at the Super Bowl, and unfortunately, I think you had a great run, but you didn't make it to the Super Bowl. But they see the smile, they see the looks, and they said, we need this guy in the network. Work in the Super Bowl coverage, and you were kind enough to come on Fox and Friends first. And then you told me they had a problem. I'm heading right.

I don't know if it's NBC or CBS or ABC, but I'm heading over. And I have no belt. I didn't.

So I said. I'm a 32. What are you? He's like, I think you're a 32, right?

So I gave him my belt. Didn't hear anything from him ever since. I've been talking, I say the story on television, they're like, there's no way that's true.

Well, sure enough, The word gets back to John, and I get... A raven spelled in the mail. And of course, at the end of the season, since you're not there anymore, Do I have to hand this in? I mean, do I give it back? Do I have to give it back to you?

The purple embroidery? Right. No, no, you need to keep this belt. You need to keep this belt. You mean doesn't it belong to the Ravens until...

No, no, I had to pay for this belt. You should give it to me for free. Oh, all right.

So I owe you. I'm going to get you one with the blue embroidery next. All right.

How about that? That'll be fine, because until then, I will wear a belt. That's how much I'm counting on you. John Harbor, new coach of the New York Football Giants. Congratulations.

Thanks. I like the sweater.

So nice to the New York Giants to make the coach available. I know things are going to get very busy and very heated. I think they're going to win at least 11 games next year. And I know you're taping this. Also, I'll see you Saturday night, Valentine's Day in Fort Myers, Florida.

And you're going to listen to the stream on Fox Nation and watch. I think you're going to love the unscripted stage show with over 1,500 people in attendance on Fox Nation, 8 p.m. Eastern Time. Keep it here for the Brian Kilmey Show. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show.

Brian Kilmead. So glad you're there. It's the Brian Killmeat show coming to you from 48th and 6th in Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, around the world. Tyrus is going to be here at the bottom of the hour. Enough said.

Shannon Bream is getting ready to join us. She's getting ready for Fox News Sunday. We understand what's happening, covering all the breaking news. And first off, I'll share this with you. About an hour ago, we got the jobs report released last Wednesday.

We know the jobs report was really good. It was above estimates. They added an estimated 130,000 jobs, dropping unemployment to 4.3%. The market reacted, and then it got depressed because they realized if the jobs are good, they won't cut rates, which everyone wants to help unfreeze everything from the credit card you have in your pocket to the house you might want to move into. Also, this is pretty good news.

When it comes to inflation, this just in. It came in at a lower than expected, cooling 2.4%. That's an eight-month low. Prices went up just 0.2%. That's another low.

And meanwhile, core inflation dropped to 2.5%. What does it mean?

Well, put this in context. If that's the lowest, Since March of 2021, So let me see, the GDP's in its fours. Wages are up, inflation is down. Excuse me? At one point, people got to say the economy is doing well.

All right.

At some point, Big three. Number three. He knows a good deal when he sees one. I can't for the life of me think that we would ever put anything together that didn't fundamentally change Iran's behavior in the region. Iran on the clock.

And as the Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier steams into the Persian Gulf, we have the moving parts. Number two. Under the process just completed by the EPA. We are officially terminating the so-called Endangerment finding, a disastrous Obama-era policy that severely damaged.

The American auto industry. EPA is A-OK as they unwind the unfounded environmental regulations hamstringing our energy and economy all in one swoop undoing what Obama put in place in 2009. We'll explain. Number one. But even though we're drawing down resources, we still want to have hundreds of special agents here.

This is ending the surge for not going away. And let me say this. Over 800 flights a day land in St. Paul, Minnesota. If we need to come back, we'll come back.

Homan pulling out in Minneapolis. 4,000 arrested on his resume, over 3,000 unaccompanied minors, many of which they were not even being searched for, were scooped up. The truth is, Holman worked with local governor, worked with the local mayor, but they didn't take, and 74 sheriffs, but they didn't take that opportunity to salute him. like he showed respect to them. Instead, they're demanding a refund because they say ICE damaged some of their facilities.

Are you kidding me?

Some of their roads? It is nuts. Shannon Bream, Anchor of Fox News Sunday, Fox News chief legal analyst. No one doubts Tom Holman did a good job. Shannon, was I wrong to think?

That perhaps That Governor Waltz might take that time to say that. And say I'm glad things were were able to work out in the end. That was not ever going to happen. And this talk of now you owe us money. Governor Wallace, if you're waiting for the feds to write you a check for anything that happened there, I would not hold my breath.

You know, like you said, once Tom Homan went in, the temperature changed, the way the enforcement rolled out changed. He said, We're not going to stop enforcing. If you're in this country and you're not here legally, you are subject to deportation at any time, in any place that we find you, but we're going to work smarter. We're going to do this in a better way. And he has praised a lot of the local and state authorities that they've been able to work together on things.

But so often when he does that, you'll see one of them pop up somewhere else and say, oh, no, we're not doing that. All right, I want you to hear what Tom Holman told Laura last night. Uh cut four. President Trump made a promise to make this country safe again, and that's exactly what we're doing. We have arrested hundreds of thousands of public safety threats and not only remove them from the communities.

We've been moving from the country. You know, these politicians, I hear the majority of Democrats have been saying. Yeah, you should concentrate on the criminal ailments, forget the rest. Yes, we know we agree. The public safety threat, illegal ailings, should be targeted.

But then they lock us out of the jail. They can't square that. And this guy here, he's a mess because the men and women every day go out in the street, put their lives on the line to make this country safe again.

So it's just unbelievable where there's not an appreciation.

So Todd Lyons testified on Capitol Hill. He got blasted for ridiculous reasons. I guess he Governor Congresswoman McIver knows who's going to heaven and hell. She said Todd Lyons will go to hell. That's nice.

The director said that during the hearing, the agency is still looking for 16,840 people in Minnesota with final orders of removal.

So they said they gotta be there, but a much smaller footprint.

So what happens next, Shannon? Do you see them going in like anywhere like New Orleans, like they did in DC where you are? Mm-hmm. Well, that's the thing. They have been in a lot of other cities that did not have these very public confrontations on the streets of Minneapolis, like what they had there.

They've been doing this in San Diego and San Jose and Nashville and Charlotte and Memphis and New Orleans. They've been doing this in other places where they've worked with local leaders.

Sometimes they are Democrats, elected local leaders. And listen, they're all different operations when it comes to scope and how they're carrying them out. Minnesota was a huge operation, but they've been able to have a lot of success in a lot of different places with a lot less violence on the streets. And that's better for everybody: the agents, the suspects, the neighborhoods. And so I don't think they're going to stop enforcement, according to Tom Holman, but it is going to go to other places.

I mean, in New York, they already have the mayors collaborating because Mayor Fry is taking a bow and a victory lap.

Now he wants to coach other mayors like Mondami on how to push back on ICE. Eric Adams, who's actually cooperating with ICE, prisons as well as provisions. providing some backup.

So it looks like they're going to try to bring some of that maniacal behavior to this city. If the President surges here, do you think the President has gets a sense maybe he should back off in these cities because it's not worth it? No, I think if he does another surge in a big place like New York, he's going to send Tom home in there first. I think that this is a guy who's been doing this since the Reagan administration, whether he was in uniform or in a managerial role. He knows how to get these things done and to have honest conversations with local officials.

And so I think prior to doing something in a city like New York, I think the president would say, We're sending Tom home and you guys should have some conversations. Mom Donnie has said, We're not going to do anything to cooperate with ICE.

Well, okay, then if there is a surge operation into your city, then you're going to have a lot more people on the streets than if you would let them come on ICE detainers and take people from prison, which is safer for the suspect and safer for the agents. And again, as you said, there are thousands of people who have had due process. They are now subject to a final removal order. This is not people who have not had any chance to make their case. Why wouldn't you want those people?

Taken from your community. Right. But you know the answer. Of course you would, but they don't admit it. They say: our neighbors and our immigrant friends.

Forgetting the illegal overstate visas, convicted or charged with a crime. Here's what Katie Couric said: listen. Isn't all this talk about ridding the country of violent criminals a massive overstatement? If less than 14%, again, Of the 400,000 immigrants being arrested. Are had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses.

So, what about the 14%? Such a low percentage of 400,000 people. If your daughter gets raped by the guy that gets back out and he's one of the 14%, I don't think you're going to quibble about whether it's 14 or 64.

So y the mindset is what's the big deal? Yeah, that's the point. And listen, I think we would all agree the majority of people who come to this country illegally are economically desperate. And many of them are good, hardworking people who just want a better life for their families. But if you have to say, okay, some 14% or whatever percentage of them are convicted criminals from their own home country, they're potential terror suspects, they're gang members, we shouldn't want one of those people to come here.

And I have a good family friend whose son was nearly killed in a hit and run by somebody who was here illegally. That kid would not have almost died absent that person coming across the border. I mean, that's just the fact. I mean, somebody who's here and does harm, rapes, kills, ask Lake and Riley's family. You know what I mean?

It doesn't matter how many people, we should say we as a board, as a country, should exist with borders that are safe, that we can have asylum and refugee people come in, but we got to have some order to the chaos. And if we don't know who's here, that only makes things all the more dangerous for everybody who is here in America. What do you think about this? I'm going to tap into your legal background. U.

S. District Judge and a real pain in the neck to this administration, Judge James Boesberg, who has butted heads with the President, He said on Thursday he ordered the government to facilitate the return of 137 migrants deported to the notorious El Salvador Seacott prison. Bosberg stipulated that the ruling government pay for the migrants' airfare back to the U.S., meaning taxpayers are likely to foot the bill. Here's his quote: The situation would never have arisen had the government simply afforded plaintiffs their constitutional rights before initially deporting them. These are gang members, these are the worst of the worst.

Tricia McLaughlin came out and says nothing has changed in addition to being in our country illegally. These aliens are foreign terrorists designated as alien enemies by the president. What has to happen now? Do they have to listen to this judge or just work it up to the Supreme Court? Yeah, I will be very interested to see if DOJ goes with the formal appeals process.

We're waiting to get some kind of official notification from them if they intend to do that because, you know, the Supreme Court has touched on a lot of different things involving immigration in the last few years, but they've been very clear that it is the purview of the executive branch of the federal government to make these decisions about immigration.

So I'll be very interested to see what happens to that decision on appeal as it would work its way through the process. But, you know, there are a number of legal scholars across the spectrum who say you could do this from Venezuela. You could do remote hearings that would give them access to attorneys and a chance to make their case. I think the average American out there, if you told them, we're going to spend your money that you want to work for this morning. Morning at 7 a.m.

to bring people back to this country under this scenario, I got to think most of them would not be for that spending of their tax dollars. I hear you. Uh La so uh before you go, Shannon, who's going to be on your show?

Okay, we are going to have Senator Katie Britt because she is the lead negotiator on this ICE reform shutdown situation that kicks in tonight at midnight when DHS loses its funding.

So she's going to be with us. Other side of the aisle, we've got Senator Chris Coons from the Munich Security Conference. Talk all the foreign policy stuff with him. We've got Ken Paxton. We're talking to all of the contenders that will come on in this big Senate race out of Texas because it really is one of those seats that could impact whether Republicans hold on to the Senate.

And we're going to spend some time with the Ruthless guys, take you behind the scenes with them. Oh, what have you got on Sunday? What do I have on Sunday? Lee's Elden is going to be joining me talking about revolutionizing environmental standards. We also have an interview with John Harbaugh, the future supervising coach of the New York Giants.

We'll have part two of that. Uh we're also going to have an interview. With who else do we have, Allison, do we know?

Well, you're going to leave time for your dance party because each week you promise me that there will be time.

So don't book another guest, Allison. Whatever you do, don't do it. Leave him time for the dance party. We'll see. It depends if I can get the floor.

I only can dance on a certain type of mahogany. The floor is yours. Right. Bill Bratton's going to be joining us about the whole Guthrie case. He's a good dancer.

Emily Austin will break down what's happening in the media, including David Axelrod saying that Obamacare is too expensive. Huh? Imagine that. Yeah, I noticed that the last big shutdown that we had last fall was over the ACA subsidies, and the Senate's done nothing. The House has done nothing on those.

So that situation that was life or death is still pending. Yeah, we're over that.

Now we got to get the mask off. We got the shutdown. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we got the mask off ICE agents.

You know, the Gestapo. You must remember them. Thanks. Okay, I'll see you. Thank you Sunday everywhere.

And then, of course, on the channel right after the network, don't move. Brian Kill Michelle. Where big stories meet bigger conversations. Stay informed and energized with the Brian Kilmeat Show. Uh The fastest three hours in radio.

You're with Brian Kilmead. People say to me all the time, oh, you're, you know, Republican and right-leaning. I go, listen, I don't own a gun, I'm not religious. at all um for abortion and pot smoking and everything How right could I be? You put your finger on the thing that makes me so incensed about the woke and the far left.

We need no further credentials to let you know that we are certainly not conservatives, we're not right-wingers, we're not whatever you think, and yet it's never enough for them. It's never enough that we're just not willing to go along with your insanity. That doesn't make us conservatives.

So, Bill Moore having a great conversation with Adam Carolla, who's good friends with Jimmy Kimmel, and you cannot get more left than Jimmy Kimmel. And Adam Carolyn just running through, yeah, he's a conservative on fiscal issues. He's a guy who came from a broken home, not much money, learns to work with his hands, working his way up, was a boxing coach, was a carpenter, then started doing some radio things and started being the start of breaking through on radio. How he got into it, I used to know I kind of forgot his bio a little bit, but that's when he hired Jimmy Kimmel, I think, to do sports. And he started because he's hysterical and he's funny and he's smart and he knew the issues.

He was a staple in Los Angeles radio, works his way on stage doing stand-up, had his own man show for a while, had catch a contractor for a while. But he's extremely successful. He's one of the first podcasters, a real pioneer in the whole industry. On Club Random, he continued, Bill Maher also spoke about the left and how he is on the left, but doesn't like the way they're acting. Cut 40.

They are very exclusionary. Yes. You know, they really just don't want to breathe the same air if you're not exactly with the groupthink. Yes, which is while they're not that bright. Jimmy Kimmel, you know, he's very mad at me.

This is the difference between the the wh right and the left. It bugs me so much. My tribe is supposed to be the left, but these are the people who just can't talk to you unless you're exactly there. Yeah, and that's why his show is the most interesting. But he says, and he's right, Bill Moore.

That he's never going to get another Emmy. He's never going to be invited to all those clubs. He says guys like Jimmy Kimmel think he's a sellout. But if you listen to his show, I mean, I think it was last weekend that he just ripped Donald Trump the entire time. And Donald Trump gets so angry because why'd I invite him to the White House?

Well, that's where he's going to be. You know, he's he's just gonna uh call it as he sees it. It's kind of a big turn, but I want to get into it. In Venezuela. Del C Rodriguez, the former Vice President, now the Acting President of Venezuela, who's really worked well with President Trump, with Marco Rubio, and now Chris Wright, who is the Secretary of Energy, who was there yesterday, the highest ranking American to go visitor, sat down with Kristin Welker of Meet the Press.

And publicly, she's not saying the right things, but privately, she's acting the right way and releasing political prisoners. The hope is within a year, they get elections and she's out. 'Cause she's got a dicey track record and has no sense she wants a democracy there. Here she is talking to Christy uh Christian Welk. You'll be surprised by this answer about Maduro, Cup 36.

Do you see Nicolas Maduro as the legitimate leader of Venezuela?

So yes, I can tell you that President Nicolas Maduro is the legitimate president. They are both President Maduro and Cilia Flores, the first lady, are both innocent. Innocent of what? Are you kidding? Destroying a country?

Guilty is charged. He's sitting in a Brooklyn prison. She's in charge and evidently doing the right thing. They're trying to revamp their energy industry, and there's going to be people in charge there.

So far, so good. And the president's starting to help sell their oil at legitimate market prices while also stopping the ghost ships. Here's the big test: in Cuba, the Russians are coming with oil. Are we going to stop the Russians from delivering oil? to Cuba.

Well, you have a lot. If you want to win over, and I know the president's going to do well in Florida, but if you want to make sure the Cuban community is happy forever and maybe always voting to the right forever. You make sure you're the first president. Uh to take on the communists in the Caribbean. and oust them.

Raul Castro, what's left of him, he's going to die soon, and the current president destroyed the country. They are suffering economically. And then the president says, I could be the one to break Cuba, and he should. Tyrus next. The talk show that's getting you talking.

You're with Brian Kilmead. We are back and one thing when we booked Tyrus He will say to you, I want to talk about the economy and I want numbers. I want graphs. I want pie charts. I want numbers.

So here's, we took in, the president took in $217 billion in tariff revenue in 25. You know how much? Biden took in? 88.

So look at this, Tyrus, and tell me what it means to you. Real wages are up 0.4%. Prices went up only 0.2%. That's what people say. You feel it when wages go up faster than inflation.

We have core inflation, the lowest this just came in since March of 2021. And overall inflation dropped to 2.4% from 2.7%. That's an eight-month low. And as I mentioned, prices are up 0.2%, gases up down 7.5%. At what point do we admit?

That things are better. Like every time you see a poll, only 36% of the country think the economy is good. What is it going to take?

Well, I think at some point we have to realize that polls are. are not accurate at all. Because the people who are answering them aren't Seeing what's going on. I mean, that's obviously what's where they're so partisan, they don't know what it is. Yeah, they just know what this is.

Or it's the safe answer. Oh, I hate the economy. But of course, everyone's feeling it positively. The thing I think, the reason why we know it is because of all the extracurricular activities by the left and the media. They are taking every opportunity to talk about anything else.

But The economy. And they want to use what's the fancy new word they invented? Affordability. Affordability. We've created affordable.

America is becoming affordable ahead of schedule. President Trump, I think, modestly said it was going to take them maybe three to four years to make the correction. And now we're seeing it in less than a year that we're seeing the correction.

So the people on TV who have their talking points or whatever aren't being honest, everyone feels a little better. You don't see the tension. People are out. It's tax season. Job numbers were insane.

I mean, this is, forget partisanship, parties or whatever, regular everyday, Joe. That was a great report. Seeing the fact that we're only up 2% across the board, the cost of living is a 2% increase for us, which is an incredible number. These are numbers that probably we haven't seen, like, probably since Bill Clinton, when he got everybody a refund. We're starting to see these type of positive numbers.

And of course, it's the last thing the media wants to talk about. Yeah, well, at one point, they got to talk about something.

So here's what's interesting. That's what I think this shutdown's about. You know, you have what? 200,000 people. They're going to be told they're not getting paychecks in the Department of Homeland Security, right?

And that includes the Coast Guard, that includes the TSA, that includes the Secret Service. You guys, you're part of Homeland Security. We're going to not fund it, okay?

So you're not going to fund it. ICE, even though it's funded in 2029, everything goes on hold. No one gets paychecks. What happened in the fall with 43-day shutdown? Trump said, hey, we got through it.

Bottom line is his economy suffered. And that's why they were able to. Say, look at your numbers. You haven't turned the country around. Will you shut it down?

Exactly. But it was 50-50, equal blame, but it's the president's economy. This is his way. This is the Democrats' way of hurting the economy.

Well, it's it's all costs. Gloves are off the table. They will do anything. Legal, illegal, whatever they can to derail this presidency. And that has been the agenda.

I mean, they have been committed to this for over a decade.

So they're not going to stop. Their influence is a lot less. Than it used to be. I think people now, when they hear them, they just kind of roll their eyes. I don't think they're getting the reaction because we're seeing everyone's going on vacations again.

Everyone's excited about everyone's, you know, you see flowers, everyone's buying stuff for Valentine's. People across the board, you're not seeing this, everyone holding their wallets. I think people are feeling good. There's a lot of opportunity out there right now in this country. And unfortunately, it's not being celebrated by mainstream media, but I think everyday Americans are celebrating.

So, listen to Chris Murphy, one of the most partisan people, just everything's negative, everything's a problem, everything's criminal. They had a chance just to extend for two weeks while they continue to negotiate Cut 23. The lack of seriousness from the White House. And from Republicans, not getting language until last night has put us in the position we are in today. They had a twenty point punch list on things they wanted to change about ICE, some of which will never ever see light of day.

But if you see Minneapolis, The president, you could honestly say, Democrats, because of your pressure, Tom Holman's moving people out. You could say, you know, we have a DS Glade. You could say the roving patrols. You could say they've agreed to body cameras. You could say that they pledge a different communication with every city they go into.

There's certain things that Tom Holman wanted to do before Democrats wanted to do, that Christy Noam and Brevino wanted no part of.

So this is the easiest one for Democrats to high-five and say, we made progress. But that's the point. That means you would have to be, progress means cooperation. And then this time and here's the thing, these are not issues that they really care about. These are distracting issues.

These are what takes the focus of what's going on.

So, when the president or the administration steps in and says, okay, we're going to do this and we're going to do this and give you some concessions. And they're because they got cooperation from Minneapolis law enforcement, they're pulling out.

So they're pulling everything out.

So you would think that would bring them to the table. But that's not no, they're like, no, no, no, but you didn't do this, but you didn't do this.

So there's absolutely no pleasing because the issue, the agenda was never about what their virtuous issue was at the time. It's about derailing President Trump.

So a couple of things. You saw Keith Ellison yesterday on Capitol Hill? Yep.

Some of the sporring that went on with Josh Hawley. I love that Josh Hawley was Researched, ready to go, good lawyer, sharp thinker. But I just wish he would let these guys answer the question, especially because I want to know the answer. Listen to this exchange. See if you agree.

Cut 25. Why did you take their money? I didn't.

You took $10,000. That's a false statement. That's a false statement. $10,000 nine days after the meeting. False statement.

You took $10,000. Here's what happened. They went to your office. That's all I'm doing. They solicited money from you.

They solicited help from you. They came to your office. It was your official office. You went with them for 54 minutes. They asked you for help.

You pledged it to them. And they talked repeatedly about money. In fact, it's all they talked about. That's a lot. Money, money, money, money.

They said we will put our dollars in the right place. Money, money.

Sorry, that's an old wrestling song. But you know, Tyrus, he did. He got caught on tape. This guy's nailed to the guy's dead, dead to rights. That Feeding America plan, they came to him and they said, look, there's an investigation.

Don't you worry about the investigation. I'll take care of you. Take care. He basically said it on Type. Yes, he did.

So just say, you said this. What do you mean? You said this. What do you mean? Why?

Let him answer the question. I think the problem is is that uh On both sides, Republicans and Democrats, these These hearings have no meaning to anyone anymore because it's about making a statement and a show, opposed to actually. Because ask that question because here's the deal. If he doesn't answer, I think that's more damning. And the body language is.

Yeah, if you hit him with you said this, I'll take care of it. What does that mean, sir? And then you have the time. He would the the silence would be deafening. Yeah.

You know, but the problem is, we've got to get our shots in. Because then we're all talking about the next day. And I think across the board, he had a great line of questioning, but you are correct. Maybe pull one question out to get just to get an answer because that's what they want. They want the argument, they want the firing.

You know, I mean, then eventually it'll be all because I'm black or I'm racist or you're calling me this. He's going to find eventually, if you keep arguing, they'll find that thing, the big distractor to boom, oh, he's racist. And then the senator's now, or Congressman, is now defending whether they're racist or not.

So it's, I'm not surprised by this at all.

So Governor Westmore and Jared Polis, they said, the president said, I'll invite everyone except those two Democratic governors. You know what Westmore said? It's because I'm black. Yeah, of course he did. But if he would have said it's because I don't agree with his financial politics, we would be talking about it.

So they say it, and everyone goes, oh, and then. At this point, someone should say, How so? Please show me examples since it's so prevalent. I mean the guy's nickname's Hitler.

So it should be pretty easy to show all these situations where your blackness is the reason why he had a problem with you being governor. Right. Because, I mean, somebody needs to call Jesse Jackson and make him return the money that President Trump put up for his presidential campaign. Like, it's funny how he's so racist, but yet he has a history of being the most non-racist person.

So it's just laughable. But see, he is so non-racist, he has no problem, like, for example, you know, doing anything that in the past would you get you so-called air quotes canceled. He doesn't care. He's like, that person's attacking me. I don't care if they're Indian.

Exactly. I don't care if they're Russian. And just real quick, I want to finish this sparring. Senator Ron Johnson, another sharp guy, became a multi-millionaire in plastics, decides to do exactly what the founding fathers had in mind. When you make your money, when you do your time, do this as service.

He doesn't need the money. He just wants to make an impact. Listen to this: Cut 27.

So now you're an ICE officer. You're doing enforcement action. You've got a team behind you trying to protect you. You've got all these. Trained activists behind you, is it any wonder they're at hair trigger alert?

A tragedy was going to happen, and you encouraged it. And you ought to feel damn guilty about it. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yeah, so sit there and smirk.

Are you asking me for comment, Senator? Because everything you said was untrue. It was a nice theatrical performance, but it was all lies. Do you get anything out of that? Yeah, he got caught again.

Yeah, they wouldn't. Again, if you're going to call somebody a liar. Lay it out, you know, but uh but again, and the whole thing, you're sick, you're this. When you're this is just me. As if I'm in a leadership role.

I maintain the leadership. Mentality. I don't yell and scream at somebody because that doesn't sound like leadership. Then you become a talking point. Then you become a blip.

Your message is lost. He could have said those things and left his personal feelings out and let the people decide. And I think that's the problem. Everyone thinks their personal, like everyone wants to put their own accoutrement on their own spices on every sometimes. state what law you think they're broke or what they're accusing them of and leave the personal BS out of that.

Right. For example, Keith, Ellison, what did you mean when you said this? When you come out when you get in the streets and make some noise and do things, when you heard about that agent having his finger bitten off, Do you feel responsible for that? When you found out that these protesters stormed the hotels where these agents were saying, what was your statement of, were you upset by that? Was that a good move?

What do you think? Yes or no? And then whatever he says, if he's not going to be able to do that. He's going to answer the same question.

Well, that's untrue. That's not our true, you know, because that's all they know. He is. The arrogance that he even went. Given the fact that it ain't like he's being accused, like he's literally verbally out of his own mouth buried himself, and he's still willing to go up here because he knows.

That it's better for him. With his base on his side, to get into arguments with Republicans on the Hill, that takes away from what they're actually doing. That helps the cover-up. The fraud. I mean, their fraud is absolutely horrendous.

It's horrendous. And I think it's one of many. I think we're going to see it in pretty much every sanctuary city. We're going to see situations like this because it just doesn't make sense to me logically why you're championing. To protect People who are coming into the country illegally and are unvetted.

To me, that's just. That has nothing to do with Democrat or Republic. That's a family thing. Can I just bring up just a full circle before we take a break? Is the other thing when you talk about quality of life?

Can I buy a car? Can I buy a house? We keep hearing that. And I think those are great questions to ask. How about this?

Do I feel safe? Did you see the numbers that came out on Wednesday on crime? In every state, crime is dropped. I mean, there's in New York, rape is up, but barely. For the other thing, violent crime is dropped across the country.

Please don't say it's a coincidence that Donald Trump is president. You can't have it every other way. No, the only coincidence is the border is secure. And it's amazing when the border is secure. And when law enforcement is allowed to do their job, when the Federal Government is allowed to do their job and go out and look for these hardened criminals It's amazing the ripple effect because you have safe streets again, because it's not just.

The boots on the ground, it's the idea that they can be on the ground, that they can come from you. We have instilled a little bit of fear in the criminal element in this country because for four years they basically had a literally had a get out of jail free card.

So there's been a shakeup at HHS, Health and Human Services, as well as DHS. The White House seeks to tighten controls over HHS priorities with a bit of a shakeup, and it looks like there could be a DHS shakeup. Christy Noam's at the top, but Tom Holman's the star. And Tom Holman said, I don't want any job. I don't need the confirmations.

I don't want to go through all my background. Just let me work.

So he said, borders are. But clearly, there's nobody that could fill his shoes. He has to have an elevated position. And before we go, Tyrus, do you want to weigh in on that? You know what?

I think the one thing I do admire about this Administration is that they are always willing to make a correction. The one thing about President Trump, if the job is not going the right way or he feels it needs it, he will make the move with unabashedly, doesn't matter who it is. And I respect that.

So at this point, I'm going to trust the process. And Holman's done a phenomenal job, but I also, you know, and Gnomes has done a good job.

So, but I think we have leadership. We're in a different situation when this isn't DEI hires.

So even if there's a major shakeup or somebody steps down and moves on, I think we'll be very based. Yeah, I think we'll be very based and very fine. Bag in a moment. Real talk, real guests, real insight. Where curiosity meets conversation is the Brian Kilmeat Show.

He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Kilmead. I'm told that I'm Being flown out to Saudi Arabia to compete in a Fanatics Flag football game with you. I'm actually a little worried for you because I know for me.

Well, you're a good athlete, but you're like, No, no, no, no. These guys are another level. I am the highest level. I am the level. No, you're not the level.

I am the level. You're a good athlete, but honestly, when I'm thinking of Saquon Barkley and I'm thinking of like a little bit of a flip off the top rope, have you not wanted any moons to jump over someone's tail in? It's cute. You know, I love WWE. It's very cute.

But honestly, this is like real football. This is real competition.

So, Tom Brady and Logan Paul going at it in a fun, interesting way because they're going out to the Fnatics Flag Football Classic in Saudi Arabia in March. That was September. Brady announced he would be participating in the flag football showcase with a lot of stars. Saquon's going to be there. CeeDee Lamb, Miles Garrett, among the players that are going to, they must be paying him a lot of money.

Yeah, yeah.

So, what are your thoughts about that exchange? I mean, it's just. Just banter, you know. It's fun. Yeah, Logan, he's going after the goat, you know, talking about athleticism.

Although, you know, minus five points for Tom. Oh, the WWE. But you know what? Some of that's on the some of that's on the current guys that are there. Maybe they're not, maybe they are being too cute with more than being a little more like Gunther and just are wrecking people.

Here's more. I was an all-state linebacker. I rushed for 1,200 yards, 19 touchdowns my senior year. See what you can still bring it. I mean, look, we all had a great pass.

I had to do that. I won seven Super Bowls. Who don't get that? You know what matters? This game, March 21st in Saudi.

I'm glad you're going to be there, and I'm glad you're finally going to participate in a competition that's going to be. This guy's insane, man. The audacity of Tom Brady, I can't believe it. Wins seven Super Bowls thinks he can just go around and talk about his flag football game like it's going to be the Pro Bowl. It's going to be way better than that.

What do you think, Tyrus? I think anytime you start running off your stats and you're talking about high school with a Hall of Fame, greatest of all time, you've lost. That was a horrible L. I'm surprised he went there. I'm disappointed that Logan went there.

You're getting you a football, right? Yeah, yeah.

Best thing ever is flag football. In the beginning, I thought, oh, this is kind of an expedition to get something instead of a Pro Bowl. But now women are playing, and it's going to be an Olympic sport. And then they can convince Brady. I'm not sure they can, but that would also bring to the Olympics next year.

How great would that be? Hey, you know what? And seven-time Super Bowl champion and gold medalist Tom Brady. Yeah. I'm on it.

You know what? I will start snapping. I will start snapping. I'd be a center for that team. I mean, it's a little bit of a joke because, at least in basketball with the dream team, the world played basketball.

Right. The world doesn't play football, so this is going to be a joke. Oh, it is. Maybe they're going to be able to do it. I don't know, but they catch on.

They catch, we caught on to soccer. You caught on to it, right? They can't break the Final Four. Who knows? But I'm hoping, but they never have.

Canadians play football? That's probably the silver. I mean, that's it, right? Oh, bold statement. Yeah.

Well, I'll tell you what, Tyrus, when can we see you again? Monday. And when do we check at your live shows? At my linktree.com, Tyrus Smash. Got it.
