Hi, everyone.

So glad you're there. It's the Brian Killmead Show, and it was just a crazy, intense, but great week. We have a lot to discuss today. We got two of the great ones to do it with us. Carl Rove is standing by.

Not only the, I want to get his perspective on a Middle East war that some people find unpopular, but he knows what that's like after being a part of the Bush administration during the Iraq war. And Britt Newman is standing by too. And of course, we'll be able to take your calls. And we got some excerpts from an interview we just did with President Trump exclusively. I did it late last night, and we're bringing it back today.

I'll have some excerpts here and the whole thing in a different hour during this Friday broadcast. But let's get to the big three. Number three. We're not putting any preconditions on funding TSA. The Republicans are.

And why? Ms. President. Because the Democrat leader will yield for a question in a minute. Is that the most ridiculous, insincere thing you ever heard?

That is Chuck Schumer denying funding for the TSA and Coast Guard because he says the ice has to be reined in. There's already been some agreements there. He does not want to pay ICE. And instead, we have people living paycheck to paycheck without a paycheck. Number two.

This guy should not have been even out on the streets and thank God for the ROTC member who was able to stop him. These are the kinds of people that the leading Democrats in their party are funding. They are electing them. That is Ben Dominic weighing in terror attacks coming fast and furious from Islamic extremists. We talk about the heroic actions taken to stop it and the need to be ready for the next one.

Number one. They're putting up a wonderful front. They're saying things, but they are devastated. When you take a look at what we know, and remember this: we could do things that would be.

So bad, they could literally never rebuild as a nation again. And we're trying to be nice about it. We're not doing it. That is the President Lee yesterday, last night with me. Don't listen to the Undermine America crowd.

Iran war is on plan, on target, and on schedule as we disassemble the terror regime. The only issue, energy, and reopening the Strait of Hermuz. And with us right now is Britt Yume, Fox News Senior Political Analyst. Britt, there's a difference between Iran and Iraq. I get it.

But you know, the big difference for me is that. I've never seen the Democrats and the media combine. While we're beginning a very consequential moment in our history, I could see with the war effort was going south. But it seems like there's a collaboration to I guess get people to think this is going to going terribly with Iran. Do you get that perspective?

Yeah, I do, Brian, and I think that it's a it's left over from previous conflicts which have gone sour and previous conflicts in which certain journalists have made their bones by spotting the the the flaws in US military planning and execution going f as far back as Vietnam.

So it has become a kind of model for coverage is that the United States undertakes a military mission. If it takes a little while, I'm talking about more than a few days or a day or two, then you look for flaws, you write the flaws, you emphasize them. You got a price spike in oil and therefore on gasoline. You you do all you can about that. You treat it as if it's insoluble and here we are.

So, with this regime in particular, Britt, how many years were you covering, even when you were on the network prior to Fox News, on ABC? And since 1979, Iran has been one of the top three issues in international affairs, whether we're in Iraq or anywhere else. Iran's always there since 79. Yeah, it has been an absolutely implacable enemy of the United States and of U.S. allies.

It has been undissuadable. from its efforts to make itself a dominant force in the world, to try to force the world to submit to Sharia law and the rest of it. And the result is what we're seeing now. And this president has decided to do something about it. Such missions are risky and difficult.

But in military terms, Brian, the casualties have been insignificant.

Now, obviously, they're very tragic for the families involved. I don't mean to minimize that in any way. But this is amazing what is being pulled off here. We're doing things that they, and Iran at this point is basically defenseless.

So all it can do is pull a stunt like trying to close the Strait of Bormuz. And let's remember this about that. And you see this almost never in any of the coverage, which is simply this. No country on earth depends on shipments of fuel and oil through the Strait of. Hormuz more than Iran does.

It is the lifeblood of its economy, is that oil exports. It cannot afford to have the Strait of Hormuz closed, and it is impossible for me at least to imagine a circumstance in which the Strait of Hormuz is somehow opened miraculously to Iran's own ships and not to anybody else's. That would never be able to be sustained, in my judgment.

So I think that's where we kind of are. And it tells you why Iran didn't do this more often if it was such so effective and so devastatingly powerful. It's because they can't afford to. And I think forever there's going to be people doing what Saudi Arabia is doing now. They're starting to get their oil out through pipelines.

I think 7 million barrels a day, not what they're used to. And we have done a great job since the 70s in being our own export, more of the number one exporter of oil and gas, especially in the advent of fracking. But how about this, Britt Yume? How about the fact that there are gas lines in China? And is that related at all to the sudden lack of flights to intimidate Taiwan, which have taken place since Nancy Pelosi decided to visit there three years ago?

What's your reaction to that?

Well, you have to think, Brian, that of all the leaders in the world looking with dismay and worry at what's happening in Iran, Xi Jinping would have to be high on the list simply because its country depends, his country depends heavily on exports of oil from Iran. And the fact that there are gas lines in China, to the extent there are, is a sign that this is affecting them over there.

So, you know, Russia would have to, I mean, Russia is being considered a big winner because petroleum prices are up. But I don't think you can say the same about, in any sense, about China. Yeah, it's a problem here. In the short term, Russia is benefiting, no doubt about it. I mean, Scott Besson made a news last night.

They got 100 million barrels of Russian oil is just sitting at sea. And he's going to let people buy it now just to hopefully bring the price down. The market's up, by the way. I asked President Trump, how does he feel about the fact that Vladimir Putin is helping with targeting with Iran? Listen to what he said, cut eight.

Do you think Putin is helping him? I think he might be helping them a little bit. Yeah, I guess. And he probably thinks we're helping Ukraine, right? And you are, right?

Yeah, we're helping them. Also, and so he says that, and China would say the same thing, you know, it's like, hey, They do it and we do it, in all fairness. They do it and we do it. Trump just lays it out. No bitterness, that's the way the game is played, I guess.

Is that acceptable? Make no mistake about it, Brian. The President has tilted toward Russia in the war with Ukraine. American people don't tilt that way. Public opinion, broadly speaking, is not in that direction.

Even to a great extent within his own party, it's not. And there's one thing about his administration that I have found inexplicable, and that is that he has been so soft on Russia, putting all the pressure, or nearly all the pressure, to settle the war on Ukraine, when Ukraine is the country that is under attack. And I keep waiting for the day when the President finally realizes that Vladimir Putin is no friend of mine. He won't be a friend of his in any meaningful way. But he has not come to that realization.

By the way, just I don't want to get sider too much, but in Ukraine, Ukraine is now making progress on the ground. Ever since Starlink was shut off to the Russians, who are basically pirating it, and now they don't have the satellite knowledge, they don't have the communication, and the Ukrainians are making some gains. Yesterday, they blew up a missile parts plant. uh with one of the uh one of the long-range British missiles. You know, it's been remarkable the extent to which Ukraine, which is, you know, we many people thought would fall on the first five days of this conflict, has been able to hold Russia off for all this time.

And now, as you point out, Brian, has begun to make some gains, which had been a purely defensive affair for some time on their end. And now they're beginning to gain ground. They've been amazingly resourceful. They've been inventive. We're now turning to them to use technology they developed for inexpensive drone interceptors.

So that is really quite one of the great and changed the nature of warfare really has changed because of what the Ukrainians have been able to develop. Remarkable story.

So, Britt, a lot of times I go to Sky News and BBC overnight, some of these international channels, you know, because I'm up at three and in the office at four, just to see how they're reporting it. And I cannot, and I'm seeing Kuwaiti officials, UAA officials, all talking. Nobody's blaming us, no one's saying this has got to stop. The outrage and anger about these high-ranking ministers. Is really directed at Iran.

It has not broke the Gulf Alliance, where if this ends the right way, Where they can't make ballistic missiles, and we find a way to get that uranium. I believe there's going to be Camp Abraham, there's going to be Abraham Accords 2.0 quickly. Yeah, and it could be a large alliance developed thereby. You know, I think w when Iran was hit. It made a decision that it really couldn't effectively fight back.

It's basically defenseless.

So, what it can do then is attack. And the only places they can attack are places they can reach. And the only places they can reach with their Gulf Arab neighbors, which they are trying to do down Israel, of course, which is what they're trying to do in the hope that those Gulf Arab neighbors will turn to the United States and say, hey, we're getting hit now. Stop this.

Well, that didn't happen. It went the other way so far. And it looks like it's going to continue to go that way.

So that was another one of their miscalculations. They're in real trouble there.

Something else that's really interesting is that, you know, remember how during Bush's years in office, he had Silicon Valley who began to be not cooperative with the Pentagon. They don't want to be part of a war machine or quotes of that nature. And that has really changed. With Palantir, Palmer Lucky's company, and others, and now Google is now all in. General Keene writes me and says: Eric Schmidt's company, Perennial Autonomy, began developing.

Developing these things called Mir-Ops, which are essentially a way of knocking down drones without using our Patriot battery or the Thad missile system. And now they're delivering them in great numbers for free to our Arab states. I mean, that's the type of all-hands on deck we need, the brilliance of our innovators helping our military. It is very hard these days to keep track of the technological advances that are changing everything, including warfare. Yeah.

And lastly, how long do you judging by how well you know President Trump, you know the operation, the complexities here, how long do you think this lasts? I think it's hard to say, but I think it's likely to be more a matter of weeks, maybe a couple of months at the outside. Certainly how the President would like to wrap it up. I think it's fair to say, based on the briefing we heard today, Brian, and I'm sure I know you were watching. We carried it.

You were carrying it on your show this morning on Production Friends, that we are proceeding methodically, not slowly. In fact, quickly but methodically through a target list which is designed to undercut Iran's ability to do anything militarily. And I think that in time they'll get around, if they haven't already to a great extent, to dealing with the problem in the Strait of Hormuz, which is a real problem in the short term, particularly. And that this war can be wrapped up. But, you know, you do face the limitations of what you can do from the air.

And if you're seeking regime change, that's very hard to do from the air. But I think we'll be looking at a change regime for sure. Yeah, when we get back, I'll play you what President Trump said about is it time for the Iranians to stand up? Brid Hume, always great. Thanks so much.

My pleasure, Brian. Thank you. You got it. 1-866-408-7669. Yeah, we come back.

I just watched Mark Halperin, who's a really tapped-in, smart guy. And they're saying, well, even MAGA's upset that the President didn't prethink the shutting down of the Strait of Hormuz. There's a lot of things to criticize the President if you want. Go ahead. But one of the first things I've always heard since Jimmy Carter was president is that Iran's linchpin was the straight of Hamuz.

The problem is that blowing up the Navy, which you need to do, stopping the mining, which really has happened. That's what two things, but the big thing that they have is over the top drones and and and missiles. Until you can take out all the launchers and the drones, it's too much of a risk to escort using our destroyers. That doesn't matter. In any plan, you could plan for that for years.

That's still going to be the case. Right now, 75% of the launches are gone, and a lot of the missile technology is blown up. The chant of the possibility about of creating more. And also, they're in the process of limiting their drone stock. But it's always always going to take time.

You listen to the brain kill me, Show. From breaking news to big name guests, Brian brings you insight you won't hear anywhere else. You're listening to the Brian Kill Meat Show. 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. Mm. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead.

Finally, we hear from the Supreme Leader in a long statement. We don't see him. He doesn't read the speech. They say he wrote the speech. First off, do you believe he's alive?

I think he probably is. I think he's damaged. But I think he's probably alive in some form. When you say he's damaged, The President knows that he's been wounded. That's a fact.

We've had people made statements to Iran to press, I think Tehran Times, about that. And we mean disfigured. He was part of the explosion when we blew up and killed his dad, his wife. I think a sibling, and he's the one standing. And he's so banged up, they still named him leader.

And he has all these statements about we're going to expand the war, keep the strait closed, demanding that we leave all our bases. And he also said this. He also said that the President of the United States basically has to stop fighting for him to even start talking. Really? You really think that's going to happen?

Many people are looking at this and writing these down as if we're going to actually rise to these demands because the war is going so bad. I have news for you. I know some people might be cheering against this country. We're winning. It's doing everything he can, but you can't do it automatically with a snap of the fingers, even with our fantastic weapons.

There's always going to be days. Like, for example, our tanker that was trying to refuel in Iraq, we lost seven guys. That uh, we lost a five. I don't actually know if it's seven, seven wounded, three have uh lost their lives, and we're going to get their names. But there wasn't from uh friendly fire and it wasn't from enemy fire, it was just some type of malfunction.

The investigation is going to take place. You're at Britum. If we lose one, we live that's too many. But in the perspective of a war where you have another war with, for example, the other superpower, Russia, losing 32,000 a month for four and a half years, I'm pretty sure this is more impressive than that in terms of these casualty numbers. We care about human life on both sides more.

But What I think is important Is that the supreme leader has been named, but he's not been seen? Where's the courage of these extremists? Walk the streets, tell us what you're going to do, get your troops rolling, let you know that your new supreme leader is going to be better than the old supreme leader. Problem is, He's not a really religious guy, so he's not going to be a religious leader. That's why he's not in Ayatollah, reportedly.

Number two, he doesn't no ch charismatic Q rating. He not many people have even heard his voice. What he is, is picked by the IRGC, so it's as if the military is running the country. They got nowhere to go. If they were to defect.

But what's happening on the ground when we come back? I do want to talk about that because. That's going to be the key. If we could get a destabilized government and find a way to get a different group in charge. Even though there's some risk with that, some of those people that stood up and spoke out, many people lost their lives.

We can get them some power, some arms, and weaken their regime enough to take their country back, that would be great. The other thing, go get the uranium. 400 kilograms, you say? We know roughly where it is, about a mile from Fordeau. Go get it.

The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead. The Texas election, you said you got to make a choice on what Democrat, what Republican should really get the nomination. Is it going to be Cornyn or is it going to be Paxson? What do you think?

Let me tell you the good news. The good news is their candidate is whacked out. With his six different forms of gender and all the things that I saw, the insult to Jesus. I mean, such an insult. This guy's binary.

Very interesting. They had no fear of her because she's a low IQ individual. But They really waited. The Republicans waited. They really wanted to run against him because they had these things.

And nobody knew they had him, and all this bad stuff came out about him. He is so woke, he's beyond woke, he's he's actually I think he's grossly incompetent. And that is he's talking about Tallarico, who's the state rep who wants to be the next senator from Texas. And they talked about his promise. Joe Rogan liked him.

That's what got him a lot of attention. But Tallarico's past statements shows that he's running in a different era. And when he's talking about her, he's talking about Crockett. And Crockett came in and said, I'm going to win. And one of the reasons that Crockett indicated that she didn't win is because Texas doesn't let illegals vote.

So she's a genius, no question. Carl Rove, you know Carl, Washington Wall Street Journal columnist, Fox News contributor, former senior advisor to President George W. Bush. Carl, is the president right about Tallarico?

Well, he's right that Tallarico has said weird things. On the other hand, Tallarico knows how to knows that Texas is not a way left of center state like Crockett. Crockett said literally that there is a progressive majority in Texas. It just doesn't vote. He's smart enough to know that he has to win Republican and Independent votes.

He knocked off an incumbent Republican state representative in his first race in Williamson County, the suburban county north of Austin.

Now, when they redistricted, he moved into a far more Democratic district. But let's not kid ourselves, he is a smart guy. And if Ken Paxton is the nominee, the Democrats will pour $100 or $200 million into the race because Paxton has a record of scandals that is going to turn off a lot of voters.

So the President, but he's very MAGA and he keeps winning. I couldn't believe he beat George P. Bush and held on to that job. But you know what's going on in Texas? I asked him, so what are you going to do?

Are you going to endorse? Because you know the word is Carl Hughes is going to say, I'm going to pick one and ask the other to drop out.

So cut 41.

So are you going to stay out of the primary then? Pax incorporated. And he doesn't want to talk any more about it. Yeah. Well, look, back to your point, George P.

Bush did run four years ago against Paxton. But since then, we've learned that Paxton has had at least two and possibly three girlfriends, and that one of his girlfriends, while married, that one of his girlfriends got a job that allowed her to move from San Antonio to Austin. And the job he got was from a corrupt real estate guy who went to jail and for whom Paxton then did favors. During COVID in 2020, he issued an opinion on it, which normally takes 180 days and has to be independently requested. But he decided he was going to issue it, and he issued it in three days saying you could not conduct.

Open air auctions on courthouse steps of foreclosed properties because of COVID. And why? Because his corrupt business guy, Nate Paul, was going to have a bunch of foreclosed properties auctioned off on the courthouse steps to satisfy his creditors the following week.

So there's a lot that we did not know. We literally know how many times he went to have sex with his girlfriend. He had a fake Uber account paid for by the corrupt business guy under the name of David P. Because as the state attorney general, his license plates, he has what are called SO license plates, state official license plates that you can easily identify. And he didn't want to see that, you know, see, get caught having his car parked outside her apartment.

So he took a fake, you know, had a fake Uber account so he could Uber to go see her. Leaves at 8.30 at night, comes back at 2 o'clock in the morning. What do we think went on? Yeah, this is all the stuff that's got to come out and give Tallarico a shot, you believe, correct? Oh, yeah, no, and look, he has rewarded law firms by giving them lavish contracts to buddies who turn around and contribute to him, paying $3,000 an hour for the attorneys and like $1,100 or $1,200 an hour for the paralegals.

And so these guys then turn around, and many of them Democratic personal injury trial lawyers and reward him with campaign contributions. There's so much that we didn't know four years ago that the Democrats do now know. I mean, look, this is a guy. Remember when President Trump said that the member of the Federal Reserve Board had lied on the mortgage application? Yes.

Well, this guy, the Attorney General, has lied on multiple mortgage applications. He literally has applied for and gotten mortgages on places that he claims are his principal residence that he doesn't live in and that he rents out, including a place in Oklahoma. And somehow or another, on a $148,000 salary, he has accumulated some. Like $6 million in real estate as Attorney General. I mean, you know, how did that happen?

Well, he supposedly got a big grant of money from somebody who met him in a Dairy Queen and said, you're a great guy, and I'm going to give you, you know, several million dollars. I mean, this is just beyond belief. It is.

So, Texas, I know where you stand, and I always love Senator Corner. I think he's a class actor, the type of guy you want to serve. Because he doesn't go out there. Listen, George W. Bush had people disagree with him that he liked.

I remember Senator Luger and others, who the president got along with, but President Bush at times they would have to do their own thing. That's what people get angry at. I mean, come on, he's not Rand Paul. He just had a few things, and when it came to that gun reform, I had no problem with that. That wasn't gun reflection.

No, what it what remember what there are two things that he did on guns. One was after the Sutherland Springs massacre, in which 20-plus people died because a guy who was kicked out of the Air Force got an AR-22 and shot him and was stopped only because one of the parishioners in the church had a gun and killed him. It turned out that guy should not have been able, the Air Force, you know, guy ejected from the Air Force should not have been able to purchase a gun, but the Air Force failed to meet the statutory requirement of sharing that data with the National Crime Information Database so that when he went to buy a gun, he could be stopped from buying a gun. And what Cornyn did was say, every state and every federal agency has to supply this data in a timely fashion or there are going to be penalties. They're required to supply it in an accurate and total fashion, but and it quickly within a certain period of time, but there were no penalties.

So everybody said, well, who cares? And the second one was there was a Uvalde where the kid, the kid, the target. Troubled teenager killed a bunch of school children and come to find out he shouldn't have been able to buy a gun because he did something as a teenager that would have kept him from purchasing a weapon. But at age 18, it was expunged from his record.

So Cornyn and others, in a bipartisan effort, said if you're a teenager and you do bad things, it doesn't go away for the purpose of purchasing a gun when you turn 18. I know the president likes him, so I hope the president, I think he's going to make that decision. He's all about winning, too. Carl, I got to ask you, too, about this Iran war. I think, and I have no idea where you stand.

I think this is his most gutsy decision yet. I think his Pentagon is functioning at an extremely high level with very competent people. And I cannot believe how the press and Democrats, you guys had that prior to the surge, right? Everybody thought, okay, the Iraq war was lost. I got it.

But not in the beginning. And Vietnam was supported in the beginning. Understood. And then when you stop performing, then people come out of the woodwork. But I think they're actually rooting against the country for this.

And I think Kimberly Strassel put it great in today's Wall Street Journal. It's the undermine America. uh choir. It's the under undermine America group. How do you feel about it?

First of all, I think I agree with you entirely. Gutsy call. And what our military and the Israeli military have done is amazing, just nothing short of amazing. And the question is, how do we bring this to resolution? And the problem that the president faces is that we're in an asymmetrical contest.

All the Iranians need to do is survive, and they have, quote, won from their perspective. We shouldn't be concerned with that. What we should be concerned with is what it is that we want to achieve and how do we achieve it. He's got tough decisions ahead. You're right.

The Democrats right from the beginning were against him. I think the administration was put in a place where it didn't go out and patiently explain. We had time in 2001 and 2002 to go out and patiently explain to the country what it is that we wanted to do and why we wanted to do it. He didn't have that luxury. But you're right.

It is a gutsy call and a recognition that for 47 years. Years, the country of Iran has been at war with the United States, and we did things, but we didn't do enough. And he is doing a lot. And I know I know the Euro balls and strikes. And the one thing he said to me.

Is I'm not leaving this for the next guy. Look, he was worried about the midterms. If he's only cared about elections and himself, he wouldn't have done this. He said, I'm not leaving it for the next guy or the next woman. And that means a Democrat or Republican.

Now, also, your feeling about this. I also asked him about rumors that a lot of his cabinet was not for this. that um that the vice president in particular was not for this. I don't think that's a dysfunctional executive branch. How do you feel about that story?

It's leading the politico today, and I have heard that before too. Look, a president needs to have people around him who have opinions and are not afraid to express those opinions whether others agree or not. You know, this idea that I mean, it'd be one thing if they were at war with each other and leaking against each other and blah, blah, but they aren't. And so I think this is what do you want? Do you want a president who's surrounded by a bunch of yes men and yes women, all of whom agree with everything that he says and does or proposes to do?

No, you want to have a robust debate.

Now, we don't really know who's saying what inside, but the idea that this is somehow a sign of weakness in this president is ridiculous. You do want to have people who have strong opinions, who come at it from different angles, because the president needs that kind of input in order to come to a decision. Yeah, that's I think. And look, the vice president's also. And I don't know, what were you doing when Bush was, when vice president, when Bush 41 was vice president?

Where were you, Carl?

Well, I was in Texas.

Okay, you weren't working for him yet.

So, Bush 41. No, I'd worked for him before and I worked for him later. But I went to work for the senior Bush when I was 22 years old. But no, I did not go to Washington. He did appointment to the Board for International Broadcasting that oversaw Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty.

Which is a tool that this president should be able to have with radio Farsi to communicate directly with the Iranian people. Evidently, Kerry Lake. Yeah, well, Kerry Lake undercut it, virtually dismantled it. Big mistake, but my understanding is they're trying to cobble things together so that they can be communicating with the people of Iran because they need to know what's happening. But my big point is: when you have a vice president that's going to be running for president, and Reagan's on his second term, kind of like Trump.

How do you run for office? And he's going to run on the fact that he's not for these foreign wars. I mean, he's gonna. I mean, how do you separate him and saying, hey, I was vice president? But this is what I would have done.

I mean, he's going to be in a very interesting area where I think Rubio is on board with the president's foreign policy. I'm pretty clear that he was not a member. It leaked out, sadly, on the signal chat that he was not for bombing the Houthis. And then he was Venezuela, he was invisible, which showed me a lot. And then we find out on Politico, not denied, that he was against this.

So it's just, and many people want that. Listening to us right now, love that J.D. Vance is not for all those things.

So, what are your thoughts about how you do that?

Well, look, if if a President, if you're Ronald Reagan, You want your legacy to be continued. You want the general thrust of your policies to be continued. But Reagan was an adult, and he understood that George H.W. Bush was a different person and couldn't run by saying, I'm going to do exactly what Reagan would do.

So he gave him the, he was not critical when the senior Bush said, you know, I'm a kinder, gentler nation, and blah, blah, blah. Didn't. And similarly, Trump, President Trump, I must say, would like to see his legacy continued and knows that whoever succeeds him is not going to do 100% of what he would have done. That's not the nature of human beings.

So, you know, the question is going to be: does President Trump say, okay, Marco Rubio might do things a little bit differently, or Tom Cotton, or J.D. Vance, or Glenn Young, or Brian Camp? But I'm not going to go out there and criticize them as they try and lay out a proper message. Think about this. Let's go back to history a little bit.

Go back to the, since the end of World War II: eight years of Harry S. Truman, Democrat, followed by eight years of Dwight D. Eisenhower, Republican, followed by eight years of Kennedy Johnson, Democrat, followed by eight years of Nixon Ford, Republican, followed by four years of Jimmy Carter, followed by 12 years of Reagan and Bush, followed by eight years of Clinton, Democrat, followed by eight years of W. Republican, followed by eight years of Obama, Democrat, followed by four years of Trump, four years of Biden, four years of Trump. What do you think is going to happen next time?

Is it going to be an automatic thing that the Republicans are going to win? No, because change is an essential element of every presidential campaign, and the Democrats will have an advantage in the next election by saying we're going to be different.

So you better have a Republican candidate who can say, I'm going to keep doing the good things. And I got a couple of new ideas a little bit different than what my predecessor did. Understood. And I just watched an interview with Hubert Humphrey of Old People, and he had to separate himself from LBJ, and he couldn't. Al Gore tried to separate himself from Bill Clinton and couldn't.

And he ch he went out of the way.

Well, he never really tried, but you're right. Hubert Humphrey did. I happened to be in school as a young student in Salt Lake in 1968 when Hubert Humphrey gave the famous speech where he broke with Lyndon Johnson over the war. And, you know, and that brought him to it. We forget Nixon narrowly won the 1968 election.

And in large measure, it was because at the end, Humphrey differentiated himself from LBJ. And also, I hear Hubert Humphrey is an extremely likable guy. And that also hit a good way about him. Carl Rove, unbelievable recall, by the way. You just went through 60 or 70 years of American history.

Very impressive.

Well, you know, I bring my best when it's Killmead. I do. Killmead, you know, is the top of the, you know, I'm honored to be on your program and I bring my A-game. You do. And my audience salutes you for it, as do I.

Carl Rove, thanks so much. Back in a moment. It's Brian Killmead. This episode is brought to you by ColerGuard. If you recorded songs off the radio for a mixtape, it might be time to screen for colon cancer.

The Cologuard test is non-invasive, requires no special prep or time off, and you start screening right from your home. It's just three simple steps: setup, sample, and ship.

The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead. Is it true that you're telling your whole cabinet to wear the same shoes, these four shim shoes? No, but it's a nice shoe. But what I do is, as somebody that for many, many years has walked around in shoes that were no good.

And, you know, would not be that comfortable.

So I have fun with it. When they tell me they have a problem I say, Let me get you a pair of shoes and it seems to work out pretty well. And now they look all spiffy and nice. I never like Cabinet members walking in in sneakers. You know, sneakers are wonderful, but I don't want my Cabinet members wearing sneakers.

So I'll get them a pair of shoes. It's a gift from Donald Trump. And it's about $140. It's all true. And the other story that I was going to follow up with, but I didn't want I know I was already over time with him.

Is Marco Rubio evidently is Fun, it's not a big deal, but he's evidently wearing huge shoes. And on camera and on you know, on the online, people are mocking them for wearing loose shoes. To be totally candid, Marco Rubio might be one of the most respected men in America. And I think they just did a study, one of those polls. And I think right now, if there was to be a presidential race, Democrats and Republicans, everybody in, he wins.

So, I mean, it's very simple. I mean, when you're Secretary of State, he's National Security Advisor too, first time since Kissinger, you kind of run your own thing. I remember Condoleezza Rice said, I said, what's the big difference? He says, you're kind of doing your own thing. You got your own plane.

You have your own building. You're kind of setting foreign policy. You create your own relationships. With National Security Advisor, you're very much just helping the President.

So he's got both. And it's going well. And they are making huge progress in Central and South America. People are focusing on Cuba. You know what happened yesterday in Chile?

Another conservative government just won an election. And when you're a conservative government, You sound like Trump. and you become an ally. The one that's sticking out is Colombia. That, ladies and gentlemen, will be a problem, but not for long.

They're going to lose more influence as Cuba, desperate to survive, has reached out to China and Russia and haven't gotten much help. From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Killmey. Hey, good air. It's the Brian Kill Me Cho coming to you from 4826 in midtown Manhattan, a place Donald Trump used to call home, where really his headquarters is, just a few blocks away from here, as Trump Tower still stands, oftentimes at the side of protest, as well as celebrations to the two-term president.

Now, I had a chance last night to sit down with the President of the United States. It was supposed to be at 6. It was at 6.20, but I was willing to make the adjustment. I credit myself for that. He's already had a long day running a war, trying to get the SAVE Act passed.

He's doing the best he can to try to get DHS reopened, as well as the other challenges that pop up along the way, like trying to save college sports. We had a lot to discuss. And this hour, you're going to hear that interview broken up. I think I go 45 minutes. That's what kind of content we had.

I'll talk about Vladimir Putin, the role in this war with Iran. I'll talk about Karg Island and what it means. He gets kind of mad at that. And the hurdles for the Iranian people as they try to take back their country. But first up, I talk about the terror attacks that took place on Thursday in America.

It is Islamic extremists. Not my words, those are the facts. I asked the President for his response to these terror attacks here at home with him in charge. Mr. President, thanks so much for joining us.

I appreciate it. A lot's going on today. I guess you knew about the looks to be a terrorist attack over at Old Dominion University. It looks to be a guy that was in jail, according to reports, for he was a naturalized citizen from Sierra Leone, convicted in 2017 of providing support for ISIS. And then he goes and commits this murder today.

Followed by one in Michigan. They attack a synagogue. They plow into a building of a preschool entrance where 140 kids are inside. Thankfully, some great security forces were able to take this guy down. It looks like he's from Dearborn, Michigan.

And it looks like his car is registered to someone in Lebanon. What are your thoughts about this?

Well, it's been going on for a long time. It's a disgrace. There are six really demented people. And uh has been going on for a long time. They come into the country, they sneak in.

You know, we have a solid border now. We have a border that's 100% nine months, nobody coming in. but they came in and they came in a lot through Biden and they came in through other Presidents, frankly, and it's a disgrace. But what we took in over the last four years, four years preceding, my take in because we had that border pretty well wrapped up Within three months, but it and he could have done the same thing. We took in 25 million people, and many of those people came from bad places.

It's uh it's a shame. When you hear about these things, it's a shame. Very sad.

So then you see the attack in in in New York City, a 17 or an 18-year-old eighteen and nineteen year old decide to make an IED and just throw it towards Gracie Mansion and write get a piece of paper and say, Yeah, um this is about ISIS. I mean, how do you get into the mindset of this? How do you stop the. They're sick people and uh A lot of them were let in here. They shouldn't have been let in.

Others are just bad. They go bad.

Something wrong. There's something wrong. Dear the genetics are not exactly.

Well they're not exactly your genetic. It's one of those problems, Brian. It's a it's a terrible thing. And it happens. It happens and it happens too often.

So bringing up to today, you know, there's a lot of Iranians, over 700, over 1,700 came to our border over the four years of President Biden. Over 700 are in. You mentioned the other day that you believe you know where the sleeper cells are, these Iranian sleeper cells. If you know where they are, can we start going offensively after them legally? Very carefully.

Gotta be a little bit careful in a lot of ways. A lot of good people too, you know, to let That's the problem. You got a lot of good people. But we're watching them very, very carefully. We have them under watch.

Now, when you say that, You say seventeen hundred could be a lot more than that came in, but nobody knows because you had so many fighting where nobody has any idea where they came from, and nobody was asking where they came from. I know, and you got the gotaways. Those are the ones who clearly didn't want to get caught, and you just get the back of their heads. Those are the ones that oftentimes are the worst. One of the big stories was the concern about Iran having one of those one-way suicide drones somewhere hitting in California.

Are you worried about that? And if so, what will we do if that does happen? I don't worry about it because if you did, you wouldn't be able to function.

Okay, so you can't worry. You have to do something. And we watch. Everything at a level that no it's never been watched. Our country has never been watched over like this ever before.

What what Joe Biden did, and it wasn't probably him, I don't think he knew Where he was. But what the people surrounding have allowed to happen to our country can never be ever forgotten again. From mental institutions they came, from drug dealers and murderers, 11,888 murderers. came into our country illegally. They came into our country and they let 'em in.

They didn't even check. What's your name? What's your serial number? Give me a card. Give me something.

No identification, which hopefully we're going to have with. the Save America Act, which The Republicans have to get it done. You know, they all say they they don't have the votes. They have to find the votes. That's what leadership's all about.

But Uh they came in with no identification, no nothing. They walk into our country. And look, that's why they lost their election in a landslide, frankly.

So but with on the drone attack in California, is that real or is that verified? Did that crush your desk? That that is a a legitimate concern?

Well, the first we heard about it was from Davin Newscomb. Uh the incompetent governor of California As he said, no, he announced it. It came out from him or his office. That's what we heard at first. He was talking about it.

But he has learning disabilities, so I don't know. Maybe as an, you know, he admitted he had learning disabilities.

Somebody said, well, Mm-hmm. What's wrong with that? I said, that's okay, but not for the president. You know, the president can't have learning disability. If you have that, It's not a good thing.

Well, he did say he couldn't read, which I found astounding.

Well, he said much beyond that, and he said other things. I won't even get into it, but he said a whole pile of things. Nobody understands what he did that day. I he committed political suicide. But that interview was not good.

On top of it, it showed he was a racist.

So, yeah. I want to get back to that. That was not a good hey, that was not a good interview. That's his book tour. I don't think it's been a banner book tour for him, but we'll see what it does for 2028 because clearly he has his eyes on that.

Can we talk about Iran for a second? Finally, we hear from the Supreme Leader in a long statement. We don't see him. He doesn't read the speech. They say he wrote the speech.

First off, do you believe he's alive? I think he probably is. I think he's damaged. But I think he's probably alive in some form. What's your takeaway?

I know he says that he's going to widen the war. He's going to continue to use this trader from whose leverage against you to end this war. He's got underwater drones to stop any of the ships going in and out. What's your message back to the new supreme leader?

Well, they've been doing a lot of talking, so he's going to have to put up. We'll have to see, because we are decimating them. We've knocked out most of their missiles. We've knocked out many of their drones. We've knocked out a lot of the manufacturing areas where they manufacture the missiles and now the drones.

Uh we're hitting them harder than Anybody's been hit since World War II.

So they are able to basically shut off the Strait of Hermuz. The word is that you are about ready to escort these oil tankers through. Is that true?

Well, we would do it if we needed to, but we would do it if we needed to. You know, hopefully uh things are gonna go very well. We're gonna see what happens. A lot's gonna be we've already damaged them so badly it would take years for them to ever rebuild. And we're going to be hitting him very hard over the next week.

So, but does it concern you that these tankers aren't getting through and the one that did get through made its way to China? I would think that maybe we'd be stopping these tankers that got through.

Well, you'll have to see what happens over the next you know, this just began. This was uh this is their new strategy.

So you're going to have to watch, Brian, what's going to be happening over the next few days, and we'll see. We'll see how successful they are. But uh they're doing this as a last last-nich effort. Their navy has been totally gone. It's uh as far as we know, it's just gone.

They maybe have one ship. We'll search in and out. It it won't be around for long. But their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their leadership is gone. Their second leadership is gone.

Now their third leadership is in trouble. And uh this is not somebody that the father even wanted, but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say, you know, you were asking whether or not he's elect. A lot of people are trying to figure that one out. But we've done uh things that no whether it's Venezuela or this. We've done things that nobody can believe.

They are in such. Look at the missile attacks. The missile attacks are down to a trickle now compared to what they were.

Now they'll go all out because they hear me make that statement, but that's all right because they'll go all out. We have it covered, we have it guarded, and they'll have That few are you know, they they're down to a very Small, relatively small number of missiles. Their drones are in a lot of trouble now because we're knocking out their manufacturing plants where they manufacture at a very fast slip.

So, do you right now the Strait is not open? I know that. And you did a couple of things. You offered insurance for these ships to go through. No one seems to have taken you up on that.

You also, I understand, you've released a strategic oil reserve to ease the oil shock that's happening right now, and so did 32 other nations, which is unprecedented. But do you believe you're going to suspend the Jones Act, too? And if so, what would that do?

Well, unless you take ships that are American-made and have them go around to different ports. Restrictive Act has got some tremendous support in Congress, support for it. not to suspend it, but support for the Jones Act. Uh but uh we we'll take a look. We'll take a look at everything.

And it's all going to work out. Look. We took an excursion. We had the greatest economy ever, we still do. And we have to do a little excursion to get rid of mad mad people, crazy people that have that want to have nuclear weapons.

If we didn't do the hit at Midnight Hammer, If we didn't have those beautiful B-2 bombers hit them so effectively, and the word is obliterate. And now everybody admits the word is open. In fact, they're not even talking about opening that site. They were talking about going to a new site, if you can believe it. But if we didn't hit them with a B-2 bomber, it could be that Israel would not be around today.

And Mr. President, would you also say it's important to get the uranium that Steve Woodkoff talked about, that they said they have over 400 kilograms of it? Is there some type of operation in place to grab it? No, not at all. And we're not focused on that, but at some point we might be.

Right now we're focused on knocking the hell out of their missiles and their drones. Sa Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain have been hit. roughly. What has been your conversations that you feel comfortable relating to our audience with the with the Gulf with our Gulf allies? We're very, very solid.

The relationship, the unity is tremendous. I spoke to most of them today. Uh they got hit and they really nobody expected it. They were sort of staying away. And I don't want to say neutral.

I think they've been very good for us, but they were more or less neutral, and all of a sudden they got hit. Which shows you, look, what they wanted to do, what Iran wanted to do, is take over the whole Middle East. And if we didn't stop it with the B-2 bombers, They would have done that. Think of it. All the things that we knocked out the first time and then the second time.

If they had that now, they had so many missiles. We knocked the hell out of them the first time, and this time it's even much more so. You know, this is a much more severe blow. Right. If they had all those missiles, they were looking to take over the entire Middle East, not just destroy Israel.

I believe they were making 200 a month rockets, and that would have protected what was going to be a reconstituted nuclear program. The Supreme Leader came out, Mr. President, and said, if you they're going to keep attacking the Gulf states until we leave our American base, the American forces leave our presence from Qatar to UAE to Saudi Arabia. Are we going to leave?

Well, the Gulf States are doing a very good job in protecting themselves. They have great Patriot missiles, which are the defensive missiles that have knocked down virtually one hundred percent of the time they're used. They knock down whatever they're aimed at. They've been unbelievable. It's been unbelievable.

Technology. Look, nobody has the technology or the weapons that we have, and the Patriots are an example of it. We have the tomahawks, we have the Patriots, we have stuff that nobody's ever been able to produce, and they can't produce it like us.

So we'll see how it all goes, Brian. I mean, it's going very well. We're way ahead of schedule, way ahead. We had no idea we'd be this far ahead. We've knocked out.

Close to 90% of their missiles. How important would it be to get out that besiege force, the the thugs that walk the streets and marble? Are we aiming for them? No, these are these are bad people. They go out shooting protesters.

You you're a protester, they shoot you right through the head. This is an evil group of people. And if we had them have a nuclear weapon, they would use it and they wouldn't lose an ounce of sleep. I am Moore coming up with the President of the United States exclusively on the Brian Killmead Show. Don't move.

It's Brian Killmead. I'm not sure. The more you listen, the more you'll know it's Brian Killmead. Hey, welcome back, everybody. My chance to talk and relate to you the interview I did late last night with the President of the United States for the radio show he thankfully really likes.

This focus on this block is going to be probably the most important feature of this war, and that is: can the Iranian people rise up and take back their country? Here's my conversation with the President, focusing on that as well as the Gulf states and what could be. Abraham Accords 2.0.

So yesterday the Prime Minister or the other day said it's soon to the Iranian people, it's time for you to soon come back and take back your country. When the time is right and that time is soon, there's also report that Israeli officials do not think the regime is ready to fall yet. What do you say to the Iranian people? Do you echo what the Prime Minister said their time is soon to take back their own country?

Well, you just mentioned to me a group of people that go around with machine guns and shoot them down and they say if y anybody protests we're going to kill you in the streets.

So I really think that's a big Hurdle to climb for people that don't have weapons. I think it's a very big hurdle. Uh that I It'll happen, but it probably will be Maybe not immediately. Who's going to do that? They literally have people in the streets.

with machine guns. machine gunning people down. if they want to protest, okay?

So, you know, that's a pretty big uh That's a pretty high standard to say I want to go and protest. And so I would understand that. And I would think Bibi would understand that too. Are you astounded? He didn't say he's doing it right now.

Time will go by. They're going to be in worse shape as time goes by. We're hitting them very hard. We have unlimited ammunition. We have of the high level and medium lev the medium and medium high level, we have virtually unlimited ammunition.

And We are using it. We are using it. We we can go forever. Mr. President, do you believe that when the fighting stops that the rest of the Gulf States will join the Abraham Accords?

More than is it closer than ever? Has Iran's action against the Gulf States made your pitch? Easier to digest for these Gulf states, knowing that it's clear now Israel's not the problem, Iran is. Yeah. It's made it much easier because they have never been in condition like they are right now.

They're putting up a wonderful front. They're saying things, but they are devastated. When you take a look at what we know and remember this. We're being nice. I could take out things within the next hour.

We could hang up within one hour, you'd be reading about taking out nuclear power plants or power plants that creates the electricity, that creates the water, they have desalinization all over the place. We could do things that would be so bad they could literally never rebuild as a nation again. And we're trying to be nice about it. We're not doing it. Now, they'll go around and shoot civilians all over the place.

Well, we don't do that. But we could take out. Elements of what they have in terms of infrastructure, they would virtually never be able, time wouldn't matter, never be able to reproduce it. And so far we've chosen not to do that. But we have hit them so hard.

I mean, they have no. They have virtually no military left. They do have the thugs walking across it, and when they're caught, they will be tried and executed. When those thugs are caught, and we have them on tape who they are, and they better turn in their guns. But, you know, we have tapes of Some of these people that go around shooting the protesters, maybe all of them, when we add it all up.

And they're going to have a big problem after this is over. Have they been targeted yet? I don't want to say that. But we have a lot of tape, and we have a lot of people. We know exactly what they look like.

And they're going out and they're shooting protesters for just literally standing, not for doing anything, for standing on the street. They're killing people. And prior to this starting, they killed thirty two thousand people.

So, hurdles remain for the Iranian people before they could rise up and speak out and maybe take control of their government like they need weapons. And we need a lot of those thugs roaming the streets who are secret police. We need them dead. Is that indeed possible? Also, what it means for the Abraham Accords.

Are we going to get more countries signing on with Israel and less signing on with Iran? I say yes. We'll discuss that with President Trump when we come back on the Brian Kill Meet Show on this Friday. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show.

Hey, welcome back. It was great to be able to catch up with the President of the United States last night and bring back the interview today. And I think it works out better. If I was to do it live, it's cool, but you don't ask the president to, hey, Mr. President, stand by.

I got to do a commercial. He's got a country to run. He's got a world to lead.

So he wouldn't be able to do it. More of my interview with President Trump.

So the year was 1988. This president, this future president, Donald Trump, was selling a book called The Art of the Deal. He gave an interview to a British newspaper, at which time you talked about Iran. You said we have to win back respect for America on the world stage. And you had stern words for the Islamic Republic.

You said they've been beating us up psychologically, making us look like a bunch of fools. One bullet shot of one of our men or ships, I do a number on Karg Island. I go in and I take it.

Now here in 2026, you are president. Are you thinking about taking Karg Island, where 90% of the Iranian oil goes through? And what do you think about it? Do you remember? School of thought.

Yeah, but Brian, I can't answer a question like that. You should and you shouldn't ask it. You shouldn't be even asking it. Uh it's one of so many different things. It's not high on the list, but it's one of so many different things.

And I can change my mind in seconds. But If you had asked a question who would answer a question like that. I mean, you're asking me a question. Carg Island, okay, everything. Who would ask a question like that?

And what fool would answer it?

Okay, let's say I was going to do it, or let's say I wasn't going to do it. What would I tell you? Oh, yes, Brian, I'm thinking about doing it. Let me let you know what time and when it'll take place. It's not, you know, it's sort of a foolish question.

A little surprising for you because you're a smart man. I am, but you were just pretty amazing that you thought about it in 1988.

Well, I did, but I thought about a lot of other things. You know what else I thought about a long time before it happened, one year before it happened, almost exactly. is Osama bin Laden. I said you have to go out and kill Osama bin Laden. He's big trouble.

Kill him. Nobody did anything. A year later, he knocked down the World Trade Act. Let's talk about China. It turns out it was in a book.

Did you know that I wrote it in a book? Yeah, I did. One of my many bestsellers, I said, go get Osama bin Laden. Then he shall be because I saw him interviewed. And I said, Wow, that guy's trouble And I said, you better go get him.

And one year before he knocked down the World Trade Center, and you know that Clinton had a chance to get him? Yep. And he thought he would be accused of doing a wag the dog thing. But hey, I want to talk about China. Do you realize, and I'm sure you do, there have been very few overflights for the first time in maybe five or six years over Taiwan.

The word is, too, there are long gas lines in China. How do, number one, do you those reports as you understand them, correct? And number two, how do you think that affects your meeting that's coming up in a couple of weeks?

Well, the reports are correct about the long lines, but you know, look look, he runs a A strong he's a strong person, a strong leader. I have a great relationship with them. I'm going over there in a very short period of time. I was invited. And I'm going.

It's good that we get along. We're getting along very well. We're doing well economically with China. They want to do business with us. And we've had a good relationship.

It's highly competitive, obviously, but He and I have had a very good relationship, and that's a good thing, not a bad thing. For all the people that are listening to your very highly rated show, which you're doing very well, I'm proud of you. But for all the people that are listening, It's good when I get along with other nations, the leaders of other nations. It's good. What do you think?

Uh powerful military. Nobody has our military. You know, I built our military in my first term. And we're using it more than I'd like to now, to be honest with you, because I like peace through strength, but uh in this case we had no choice. We had to do we had to We had to close it out.

47 years they've been killing people. For 47 years they've been blowing their legs off. They've been think of it, all that, the SS coal So many different things they were involved in, so many bad things, so many acts of terror. It had to be done. It should have been done long before Mr.

President, between 2023 and 2024, the DNI of Joe Biden said there were 190 attacks on U.S. forces or our allies by Iran. That was the department, that was the director of national intelligence for President Biden. We had 241 in 1983 killed, 603 in Iraq. Are you surprised with these stats that Democrats are so vehemently, seemingly against this mission, including some veterans like Senator Mark Kelly?

Well, Mark Alley's a very Not a smart person. I mean, he's not a smart man. He's terrible. What he said is terrible about. You know, leadership, okay, leadership, follow him.

You follow him into a grave. He's he's terrible. He's a pathetic guy. But they're they're pathetic. Look, we have A case where our country right now is respected more than it has maybe ever been.

with Venezuela, with this, with the B two's, with all of the different things we've done and all the great success we've had. And during all of this period, I've rebuilt the military into the strongest military in the world by far. We have We had great people. But the people were being led badly. And in fact, in many cases, being led through woke.

And we don't have that anymore. We have an unbelievable power. Our military is unquestionably the best and the strongest of the world. And I built it in my first service. This didn't just happen.

I built it. You know, we had trillion dollars, a trillion dollars, another trillion dollars, and I built it and made it great. I built the wall, hundreds of miles of wall. Otherwise, you'd have people, no matter how good a job I'm doing, without the wall that we built, you'd have people pouring into our country at levels Never seen before. Biden let 25 million people come into our country.

25 million people. And many of those people came they came out of jails and prisons and they came out of mental institutions and they were killers and all of the things that we just discussed. And I'm doing something about it. And I had to take an excursion. We had the greatest economy in history.

We do it and we still do. Oh, this will bounce right back. When it's over, and I don't think it's going to be long. When it's over, this is going to bounce right back so fast. When are you going to know when it's over?

When I feel it.

Okay. Will you ask anybody in particular? Would that be some of these a joint decision? I have to deal with people. I have great people.

I have General Raisin Kane. I have Pete. Pete's turned out to be a star. Marco's great, J.D. I've got all good people.

We've got a great group.

So let's talk about, if I can, looking back in history, George Schultz and Casper Weinberger, two smart guys, disagreed in front of Reagan, Rumsfeld and Colin Powell, disagreed in front of George W. Bush. In your cabinet with the Vice President, Secretary of State, what is it like? What are the dynamics when you have a big decision like Iran or Venezuela? Are people speaking up and speaking their minds?

Even if... I let them speak their mind, and they do. And we have some differences, but they never end up being much. I convince them all to let's do it my way.

So let's talk about immigration. Why is Senator John Wayne Mullen the right pick? Oh, just a fantastic guy's got it. He's got what it takes. I think he's going to do a fantastic job.

And when you talk about immigration, James Blair evidently told the caucus, Republican caucus, don't talk about mass deportation. Storian Politico today said, hey, the president's allies want mass deportation. It rates really high with the people that put you there. Then you got farmers saying, hey, I need work visas for my longtime immigrants, and meatpackers saying the same thing. Where do you stand, Mr.

President? Number one, I stand in. We're getting the bad criminals, the murderers, and all these criminals that were allowed. Number one, that's a top priority. And the rest is all going to work out, and it's working out well.

We've deported tremendous numbers of people, but we're going after the murderers. We're going after the drug dealers. We're going after the mentally insane and people from insane asylums, and we're bringing them back to where they came from because we have no choice. We won't have a country. And we're taking care of we have Really bad, really sick criminals that were allowed to come into our country under Joe Biden, Sleepy Joe, and he allowed them to come into our country, and we're getting them out.

That's number one priority. But we want people to come into our country legally. And nobody can say anything about Trump because we literally, for eight months now, have had zero people come through the border, and Biden had millions of people. Nobody checked. Totally unchecked and unvetted.

I just, and I know you got it around, but the Save America Act, you told Jon Thun get it done. Do you mean get Democrats? Or do you mean blow up the filibuster? Because you need 60 votes, right? Yeah.

So how do you get it done? This is called the Save America Act, and it's exactly that. It's voter ID, it's proof of citizenship, it's no mail-in ballots, which are horrible. They are so corrupt. Jimmy Carter years ago said you can't do mail-in ballots.

It's corrupt. We're the only country in the world that does mail-in ballots like this. We're the only country, there's no other country in the world, because it means you cheat. They cheat.

Now, it's mail-in, but for the military, it's okay. For somebody that's sick, or somebody that's disabled, or for somebody that's traveling, you're on a business trip or even a trip. We'll be very open about that. But I also added two other things and I put them in just recently. It's five points.

And very, very importantly, no men in women's sports, no transgender mutilization of our children. In Texas, those five things. How can you vote against voter ID and citizenship and the other things I said? And It should be done. And if it's not done, It's a shame.

And I think, frankly, any politician that voted against Think of it. Every place you go, you give identification. And I want picture identification, not just. We want. picture so that when when they go in to vote Somebody standing there can say, oh, that is the same person, not that it's a totally different person, which they do.

They cheat.

The reason they don't want it is because they cheat. And you saw that in 2020. They cheated at levels never seen before. And now all of that's come out. The DHS reopening is the Democrats beginning to crack.

I mean, they wanted Christine Ohm out. She's out. They wanted no more roving patrols. You stopped it. They wanted body cams.

You gave it to them. Do you feel as though you've given enough at this point? I think so. Look. They have to these are people that hate our country.

These are people that have Trump derangement syndrome. If I want the opposite, if I said let's have nothing, let's have this, let's give you everything you want, They'd say, nope, we don't want it. We want the opposite. Anything I say, they go to the opposite. If I say build the wall, they say don't build the wall.

No matter what I say, they go the opposite. Because they're sick, deranged people. They got a problem. Do you think these attacks will change their minds? Do you think these new attacks today will change their mind?

I think so, because I think there's something wrong with them. Republicans is beyond belief. Who wouldn't vote for voter ID? Who wouldn't want that? Voter identification.

Please, may I see your card, sir, or madam? May I please see your card? And they say We don't want you to do that. And yet every other you know, I wrote a list, but it was too long to go into. But I wrote a list that had 50 things that you need, voter, that you need identification for.

Everything. It's like everything. It's like... But outside Fetterman, I don't think any Democrat would do it. And even though the proposals show over 70% of Democrats want voter ID on every ethnic group.

86% of Democrats approve of Save America.

Now think of it, they're going to have to go out and say we are opposed to Save America. It's called the Save America Act. You know, they had a hard time with MAGA, Make America Great Again. Remember when Biden would get up and say, We have to stop MAGA, we will stop MAGA, we have to stop MAGA. The poor guy.

And I said, no, no, MAGA means make America great again. He wants to stop it.

Now they have the SAVE American. It's not the SAVE Act, by the way. All these people that use SAVE Act, those are people that are on the other side. It's the SAVE America. Because nobody knows what the SAVE Act was.

Nobody has any idea. The stupid name, the SAVE Act. And they used that for two years. It's called the Save America Act. You know marketing.

And they just named the three points. And lastly, the Texas election. You said you've got to make a choice on what Democrat, what Republican should really get the nomination. Is it going to be Cornyn or is it going to be Paxson? What do you think?

Let me tell you the good news. The good news is their candidate is whacked out. With his six different forms of gender and all the things that I saw, the insult to Jesus. I mean, such an insult. This guy's binary.

And you know, it's very interesting. They had no fear of her because she's a low IQ individual, but. They really waited. The Republicans waited. They really wanted to run against him because they had these things.

And nobody knew they had him, and all this bad stuff came out about him. He is so woke. He's beyond woke. He's he's actually, I think he's grossly incompetent. I think Gavin Niscombe is incompetent.

I think he's an incompetent person. And he admitted it. I mean, he admitted that he's incompetent. And you know, when a guy does that, but when you see what this guy said about gender, And about other topics. And the amazing thing, it all came out one day after he defeated.

Tallarico. Tallarico. Right. Yeah. Defeated Crockett.

So do you think that Paxon recorded it? Did you credit it all to Davey Crockett, do you think? I don't think so. I'm going to have to do a DNA. I don't know if she was due 23 and me, but we could look into it.

Paxon. Check it out. I will. I got you. Davy would be honored.

I have a lot of free time. Race Frontiers.

So you're going to stay out of the the primary then? Pax and Courtney. No, I want to do something. The main thing I have to do is find out who's going to get the Save America Act approved.

Well, uh c I guess S Senator John Thune's kind of at a log jam. Look, I think he's a wonderful person, I do, but he seems to be Not that he doesn't want to do it, he doesn't think he can do it. And that's bad. I mean, how can you not get voter ID approved? How can you not get, you know, citizenship approved?

Proof of citizenship. All right, we wrap up my interview with the 47th President of the United States. We talk about a little Ukraine and a lot about Putin. Don't move. You listen to the Brian Kill Meet Show.

Don't go anywhere. Brian Kilmead will be right back. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show.

So, just to wrap up, the interview with the President of the United States, who was nice to give us 45 minutes last night, got a lot on his mind, he had a busy day. But I did talk about Vladimir Putin helping Iran, did talk about Ukrainian drones. Are they helping us? And I believe they are, at least the Arab states. And this thing about SHUSE.

And he doesn't want any sneakers in the old office.

So here's the rest of my interview as we wrap up with President Trump. Is it true that you're t you're you're telling your whole cabinet to wear the same shoes, these Flores Sheim shoes? No, but it's a nice you, but what I do is As somebody that for many, many years has walked around in shoes that were no good. And you know, would not be that comfortable.

So I have fun with it. When they tell me they have a problem, I say, Let me get you a pair of shoes. And it seems to work out pretty well.

Now they look all spiffy and nice. I never like cabinet members walking in in sneakers. You know, sneakers are wonderful, but I don't want my cabinet members wearing sneakers.

So I'll get them a pair of shoes. It's a gift from Donald Trump. That's cool. You could write it off, too, at the end of the year with your new tax reform. I don't have to write it off.

You're right. I guess I could, but I don't have to. Go ahead. Well, Mr. President, I can't thank you enough.

Lastly, are you enjoying this with all the pressure on your shoulders? We're doing great. I had to do this excursion through a very tough kind of a thing to do, except it shows how strong I knew exactly that would be good. And what do you see tomorrow? What do you see the next day?

They're going to be hit so hard. They're going to be hit. They can talk all they want, but, you know, let's see what they do.

So they're going to maybe do something having to do with the Straits. I don't know. But they're being hit so hard. It'll take them twenty years to rebuild. You think Putin is helping them?

I think he might be helping him a little bit. Yeah, I I guess. And he probably thinks we're helping Ukraine, right? And you are, right? Yeah, we're helping him.

Also, and so he says that, and China would say the same thing, you know, it's like, hey, They do it and we do it, in all fairness. They do it and we do it. The only thing that I know that matters to the First Lady is I'll tell you one thing with Ukraine, they have to pay for everything and they pay through NATO. When they buy missiles from us, when they buy anything from us, it goes not to them, it goes to NATO, and NATO pays the bill. Are they helping us with d with drone defense too?

No, we don't need the help in drug defense. No, we do. We have we know more about drones than anybody. We have the best drones in the world actually. Mr.

President, best of luck these next few days. We'll be watching every moment, and thanks so much for your time. Good, and thank you for your support. You've been great. You've been really doing a good job, Brent.

Thanks a lot. Have a great night. Thank you, sir.

So I hope you enjoyed the interview with the President of the United States. It was really nice of the White House, Carol Ann Levitt, to make this happen along with Margaret Martin. Truly appreciate it. Thanks so much for listening. Don't forget, if you want to see me on stage and talk more about this in person, BrianKilney.com, check me out May 30th in Reno, Nevada, and more dates are coming up, including one in Florida, and a whole bunch coming up this fall.

Uh all streamed on Fox Nation. And don't forget One Nation's Sunday at 10. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. Hi, everyone.

So glad you're there. It's the Brian Killmeat show moving through. Bill Melusian's going to be with us at the bottom of the hour. We got him out of Washington, away from the border. And now that he's done, filling in for Bill Hemmer with Dana Prino, who's going to be here.

Shannon Bream is just about ready to join us.

Some say she's ready. Fox News Sunday's Fox News' chief legal correspondent. You see her on Fox News Sunday all day, and then you see her on the news channel, same show afterwards. Although I watch it again just to see if I could find a difference. That's just a little challenge I have for myself, but I have not been able to find a difference when you go into repeats.

So, Shannon, welcome back. It is great to see you, Brian, in person. And it's true, you're going to be on One Nation Sunday at 10. I'm so excited. Listen, I've asked repeatedly for the dance party, and now that I'm going to be a guest, I might be able to actually make it happen.

And being that you have a book out, and it's the same book that you had out last week, right? It is.

It's officially on the shelves. It may feel like I put a new book out every week, but that's you. Nothing is impossible with God. 11 heroes, one God. God, Endless Lessons in Overcoming.

It's officially out there. Yeah, it's out there. The subtitle is good, too.

Well, it's true. Right. I stick to truth in my reporting and my writing of books. Right. And do you discuss if Jesus is binary?

We don't because I don't feel like that's worthy of discussion. But it is in Texas for the 70s. It is in Texas, but not in this book. We stick to these settled questions. And I think that, you know, that's not something that came into nothing is impossible with God.

I needed you so much on what day was it? Kathy Lee Gifford was in. What day was that? Was that Winter? I love her so much.

Right. But. I'm in over my head. She's a biblical scholar. Oh, no, she is very deep.

So she's saying stuff about Nero and Paul. I know, but her book is fascinating. She does a deep dive.

So she said something fascinating to me.

So I said, Oh, you're religious. She goes, Don't call me religious. I go, Why? She goes, Because. I'm not really, I don't want to be associated with a church or religion.

Right. Why? Because I just go through history and go, why? And she says, this is all I have. Because you would be able to go deep with her.

This is all I could say. Why would this be? Because no one's ever brought me down this road before, knowing our relationship. How's How do you self-describe? What would you call someone that says they're not religious but is extremely?

Spiritual? I guess.

So she's like, she goes into the history of it. Yeah, she does. She says, why is there not one Bible? She says, Why is there a new and old testament? There's a gap there, but so what?

Why don't you put them together? And I said, Okay, the new, the new Bible, the new Bible. The New Testament is King James. He's a terrible person.

Okay. King James a terrible person.

So, gave us a translation of the Bible, though. And listen, there are religious leaders who came together and made decisions about which books were going to be included.

Now, Most Christians believe that the word is inspired by God Himself and that these are messages that He gave to human beings to put on paper. But there was a point at which there was prayerful You know, meditative decision making on what was going to be included in the Bible. The thing I love about history, and you know, Kathleen does this too, there's so many sources that are outside the Bible that confirm things that happen in the Bible. And I think for people that are skeptical about faith, like that's always a good thing that you can look and see. There were writings from the time that are contemporaneous telling stories about Jesus's life.

I mean, we know he walked the earth. What you believe about him is a matter of faith, but truly a star, right? When he was born. Yeah, I like that. No drummer boy.

No, and that's my least favorite Christmas song of all time. But I will say this: what person brings a drum for an infant? For a baby. For a baby. That's why I refuse to believe it happened.

And why a snare drum? Mary was furious. Right. Must have been. Easy with the drum.

I got a kid here. A triangle, maybe, but not heavy on percussion. Why did she wait to the last minute to book a hotel during the holiday season? Listen, she was called to a census. She had to go back to her homeland.

She chose that. They had to go back. It was not optional. You know when the government tells you to do stuff? And you don't want to get in trouble.

Right. You know, the audits aren't fun. Right, especially back then. Back then, it was a whole nother thing.

So, no, this was this was, you know, everybody was sent back to their home. Places their families' origin to go back through a census.

So it's not like Mary's like, hey, let me travel nine and a half months pregnant. Part of the Red Sea, they did find geographical proofs that there was a flood, right? Oh, heck yeah. And they went back to the Red Sea and they could see the part because they did do that thing, which has got a little bit hokey when. Not Burt Lancaster, who's up Charlton Heston?

Charlton Heston. He put his hands up and he was part of the Red Sea. It's not the best effects. I guess we got a little spoiler. They're a little bit better now.

Right. But that was a great thing. Yeah, and here's the thing: I have a pastor. You could not cross without it. No, you, you, you, listen, that took divine intervention.

Um, what I love is, I have a pastor who's retired now, but he, what he used to always say is that every time they dig things up and discover things across the Middle East in that region, it confirms things in scripture. Like, you have to, as a matter of faith, as a person of faith, you've probably already accepted that these things happen. But whenever they get to the archaeological stuff and it proves it, It's just an it's an added bonus to people of faith. Mm-hmm. When you can put some history in it.

So when you put this book together, which is Nothing Impossible with God, how do you know? I think my own experience of living through some really, really dark, difficult things, not that God answers the prayers the way you want him to. He does answer, but maybe it's not your plan. But what I found is his faithfulness in walking through that with me, his presence and my faith growing through really difficult things.

So I speak from my own experience, but then we go through these 11 stories in the Bible that show you how he does work even in the really difficult things. Can you give me one? Yeah, think about Joseph. If you think about him in the Old Testament, his brothers sold him into slavery. He was dad's favorite.

They did not like that. He was later thrown in jail. Like all of these injustices happened to him. Job was bad too. I mean, that was really difficult.

But with Joseph at the end of the story, you see he's in a position now of leadership in Egypt when there's famine in the land and his brothers come to him. They don't recognize him, which he loves. He kind of lets him twist in the wind for a little bit. But ultimately says, everything you did, what you meant for evil, God meant for good.

So you see redemption even in the worst things.

Okay. And those are some of the stories. Is there a TV special with this? There's not, unless you want to be one. Right.

No, I don't think I could do that. I don't think I cut. I didn't make the cut 11. I didn't make the top 11 stories. I don't know, but maybe you're number 12.

Honorable mention. Honorable mention. So, do you believe our lives are designed, fully designed? Where does choice? I believe we have total free will because God wants a relationship with us, but he's never going to force that.

So, what would it be meaningful to him if it was just we're all robots and we don't have any choice?

So, I think that he's aware of everything that happens, but he's allowing us to make our decisions, good and bad. Right. What religion are you? I grew up in a Baptist church, but I would say that I'm more of a non-denominational person. I mean, like, the Bible is the cornerstone of everything for me in Christ.

But, you know, my husband grew up Methodist, and we don't necessarily pick the church based on the denomination. Because, listen, if the key stuff is where we're at, we can quibble about some of the ways that you practice your faith. You like the Pope or? I like them. And we got an American one now.

Right. But I didn't grow up Catholic. You would say that that's your Pope. Not my Pope. I think he's, gosh, a respected scholar and leader, certainly to be somebody that we should look to for good things and good guidance about God.

But I don't see him as divine in any way. Right. Just the cardinal of the moment. Yeah, yeah. Right.

A couple of things. I don't think he likes America too much. But he's from here. I know. I'm just saying.

Well, he likes our sports teams. He's got some faves in Chicago. He likes Chicago deep-dish Panzer. Does he like Cubs or White Sox? Do you know?

I think he's a White Sox guy. Yeah. I think. There's very few of them white.

Somebody's going to fact-check us on that. But I know his brother likes us. Yeah, meaning Fox? Yes.

And America? Both. I'm just saying.

I don't know. I get the sense that he had a role in pulling Cardinal Dolan out, who is my favorite. But didn't he have forced retirement? I mean, isn't that how it works within the Catholic Church? What happens is, you know how when people say, Will you accept my resignation?

And you go. And they say no. They said, Would you accept my resignation? Yes.

Really? I'm out. Two weeks. I love Cardinal Dolan so much. I mean, he to me is one of the best.

Communicators. Absolutely. When it comes to the gospel and everything else, he's just such a good guy. He was great at his job and a great person for an ambassador of faith. I just love him.

All right.

So go out, grab this, grab this book. We're going to be talking about this weekend. And that is nothing is impossible with God. Can I ask you a question? 11 heroes, one God, endless lessons in overcoming.

Yes.

Is this what happens every time you try to resign from one of your 50 jobs at Fox? They're like, not accepted. And here's another job. They give you a new one every time you try to resign. They're waiting for me to be good at one of them.

You're great at all of them. That's why they can't let you go because you've got so much stuff to do. Yeah, there's a lot going on. We had the president yesterday. We had to be chatting up with the commander-in-chief.

Yeah, he likes doing radio, but he won't stream. Like, I tell him that everyone's streaming these days. Because you stream when you do what he says. But here's the thing. He knows about all this new stuff.

Remember how much credit he gave Baron for going into these new places, new technologies, podcasts, all these different places? Like, he gets it. He's a smart guy. I know, but we can't, Eric, we can't get him to budge on that, right? I mean, every time we ask him, right.

Right. Keep asking. He loves you.

Well, we'll see.

Well, he likes me. He did get mad at me. But I like when he gets mad at you because you guys have good conversations. Right. But I did say to him, I'm saying, what about Carg Island?

And he said, what a dumb question. I'm just asking. You don't have to tell me your strategy, but you can just say that's one of the things we're looking at. But he said it was a really dumb question. Nicole, what was the question?

I asked at Carg Island: Are you thinking about taking it? Because 90% of Iran's oil goes through Carg Island. Exactly.

So, was he saying, don't ask me that? Because more than that, why would I tell you if I was going to do it?

Well, you ought to ask. It was like asking a coach, are you going to run the ball in the third quarter? Why would I tell you that?

Well, I'm just asking. You don't get mad at it. You don't have to say. Right, you don't have to tell me. But every military expert that we have, and we're so blessed to have so many of them that are part of our Flux family, they all point to Carg Island, so we all know that's an issue.

Right. Yeah, don't give me that much credit or discredit for it.

So, one of the things I asked him, too, is when are they going to have ground forces? Like, when's it going to be okay for the Iranian people to rise up? Do you remember, Shannon? Two days ago, Prime Minister Netanyahu gave a speech, and at which time he says, get ready, your time is approaching. We're doing some things to make it possible.

And I asked him about that. about when you can we put ground forces in. And I also asked him about sleeper cells. And the one cut I'd like to have Do we have that one cut? Which one?

Did they also read your brain? No, no, but this is a really good one. I thought we were going to be able to get it. Hmm. While you're thinking about the ground forces, so he says.

Not quite yet. And he says a lot of might what might happen is after this is done, the ground forces might be ready. I just saw some video of Ali Alaranjani walking through Tehran while we're bombing it. And they're trying to say that they've survived, they're more resilient than ever. I think it's all bravado.

I think we're right on target. I mean, I do when it looks at when you look at taking out their ability to respond and to go after You know, our allies and our friends in the region, I think we've seriously degraded all of that stuff. There's the question, though, now about this enriched uranium. And there's been a lot of speculation that to get to that and effectively get our hands on it, verify, and get it out of there would require boots on the ground. That there's been such fortification of it that to take it out from the air may not be doable.

I'm no military expert. I don't know, but that's where I keep hearing the possibility of boots on the ground being mentioned.

Well, put it this way: he will never tell us, hey, special forces gonna go in. Exactly.

But about a mile from Natans, they think that's where the enriched uranium is: the 400 kilograms, 600 pounds, however it converts. And I would think if anybody knows the land as almost as well as the Iranians, it's the Israelis. And do they have great special forces? Unbelievable special forces. And then working with us, I mean, sometimes you forget.

We don't have like allies. We have a true partner in this who have equally motivated for this mission. Sign, hey, I heard you guys got hit on 9-11. I'll join you in Afghanistan. No, you're the existential threat.

To them at all times. Right. So you got an air force, you have a ground force. As good as and in intelligence, pound for pound as good as ours, working together. And I just think that we're going to make sure they're not able to make rockets.

Do the best they can to get rid of all their drones. I'm not sure we can wipe out their knowledge of drone technology, but most important, I think there's two things I think are gonna happen. I think the new Supreme Leader is going to be killed, and I think the uranium is going to be gotten. It's got to. I mean, if this is going to accomplish the goals that the administration has for this, and if it's going to free up the people to go back to the streets or take back their government, I mean, it's one thing for us to degrade the missile systems and things that we can do from the air, but without straightforward moves, without getting our hands on that enriched uranium, and really wiping out any regime leader, the people there.

We're asking them to take to the streets at a time when tens of thousands of them were killed and will be. Killed if they go out there now. My hope is we got this drone technology that can get people ground level and assassinate them on their motorcycles because they wear plain clothes, have motorcycles, and enforce the moral police. Yeah. Moral or morale?

Well no, not morale. Moral problems. And they will kill you if you don't wear something over your head or if they'll grab your phone and look at it and say anything negative against the regime, you'll be dead. I want to bring you to something else. And that is what we're doing about Tell Arico in the Senate.

I asked the President about what are you going to do with Cornyn and what are you going to do with Paxson. You said you're going to endorse one of them. He focused on Tallarico. Let's listen. The Texas election, you said you're going to make a choice on what Republican should really get the nomination.

Is it going to be Cornyn or is it going to be Paxson? What do you think? Let me tell you the good news. The good news is their candidate is whacked out. With his six different forms of gender and all the things that I saw, the insult to Jesus.

I mean, such an insult. This guy's binary. Yeah, he went on, just said this guy's a terrible candidate. He's been exposed as a woke candidate, but Democrats are still high in him. What do you think?

They are, and he is really leaning heavily into this faith thing, which you think in a place like Texas is going to work. But I would also say a lot of folks in Texas go to church, they know their Bible, and they're going to find some of the stuff completely wacky.

So the ads are already writing themselves. I mean, they're happening. But in the meantime, Republicans are wasting a lot of their own money and ad money and time on waiting for this endorsement from President Trump. And I think he was pretty close last week, but this Save Act thing seems to really be rattling everybody in Washington. And now Corning came out and said, maybe I'll vote to get rid of the filibuster.

Yeah, I've kind of evolved my thinking on that, which people in Washington do. But you saw Senator Manchin, who used to be one of the Democrats, are like, we're never getting rid of the filibuster, even though my party wants it right now. It is not a good thing to do for the health of the Senate, the health of the country. And he came out and, you know, basically sounded like Cornyn's doing election year politicking, but he needs the endorsement. I mean, whoever gets the president's endorsement in that GOP Senate.

I'm sticking. Yeah Don't get rid of the filibuster. Do not.

Well, the thing is, it's such a short-sighted thing to do, especially for the Save Act, because even folks on the right who want it note it has limits to it. And so, do you want to blow up the filibuster over something that is not the end-all-be-all?

Now, people who support it say you got to get it done. But when you're in the minority and that's the only tool you have to stop something, you got to think long and hard about whether you're willing to get rid of that. I would say. In two years, if a Democrat wins, the first thing they're going to do is get rid of it. They probably will.

1051 if they get the Senate. Yeah. And that's the argument for getting rid of it now that Republicans have. And it's my argument. And you, well, you know what?

Are you going to run for Senate? No, well, it's my argument as a civilian. Are you going to run against Chuck Schumer? Or AOC? I think AOC should run for the Senate.

I think she's pretty clear. She does not have the experience to run for president. That doesn't mean anything, though. Shannon Bream, know it means a lot. Your book is now out.

Go great. Thank you. Back in a moment. From the Oval Office to the front lines, he talks to the people making history. This is the Brian Kill Meat Show.

Uh He's so busy, he'll make your hat spin. It's Brian Kilmeade. In your cabinet with the Vice President, Secretary of State, what is it like? What are the dynamics when you have a big decision like Iran or Venezuela? Are people speaking up and speaking their minds even if...

I let them speak their mind, and they do. And we have some differences, but they never end up being much. I convince them all to let's do it my way.

Because you're the president. And what are these people going to try to talk you down? And I'm referring to this story, it came out. After That and I don't think it's been denied, the Vice President of the United States was against the military action, was against Venezuela, was against this, was against intervention, was against intervention. And that's the story that has come out, and they have differing views.

It's not unusual, as I brought up. And a little longer case, when you have administrations who are savvy, Rumsfeld, the second time he was Secretary of Defense, Colin Powell used to work with Reagan on the national security team. Then he became Secretary of State. They would fight all the time.

So it doesn't mean anything. These guys fight in front of each other. They fight in front of the president. It's up to the president to make a move. And if it becomes unworkable, the president decides to make a change.

And Rumsfeld was out and Gates was in. And the surge happened and things got a lot better. And Dick Cheney was never happy. And by the way, Dick Cheney and George W. Bush were never the same after the president fired Rumsfeld.

Boom Illusions next. Don't move. Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. The DHS reopening is the Democrats beginning to crack.

I mean, they wanted Christine Ohm out, she's out. They wanted no more roving patrols, you stopped it. They wanted body cams, you gave it to them. Do you feel as though you've given enough at this point? I think so.

Look, they have to. These are people that hate our country. These are people that have Trump derangements. And if I want the opposite, if I said, let's have nothing, let's have this, let's give you everything you want. They say, nope, we don't want it.

We want the opposite. Anything I say, they go to the opposite. If I say build the wall, they say don't build the wall. No matter what I say, they go the opposite. Because they're sick, deranged people.

They've got a problem. Do you think these attacks will change their mind? Do you think these new attacks today will change their mind? I don't think so, because I think there's something wrong with them. Republicans is beyond belief.

Who wouldn't vote for voter AD? Who wouldn't want that? Voter identification. So, nothing's changing. Senator Patty Murray, Washington, she offered the DHS funding without ICER Customs and Border Patrol.

And Republicans balked at that. Quote, it was funded already, meaning ICE, and we have told them they're not going to fund ICE until we get reforms to ICE.

So they're not going to do it the traditional way.

So the log jam happens. It's still a Border Patrol and Coast Guard, excuse me, not Border Patrol, but TSA and Coast Guard aren't getting paid with me right now. It's Bill Melusian. Bill, that's now your beat in Washington. And you said that Schumer did a savvy move.

Yeah, yesterday on the Senate floor, he was there with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, and they were kind of like going back and forth about all of this. And Chuck Schumer said to Thune, okay, well, I propose something right now. Let's do unanimous consent, basically a way to expedite everything. Let's just fund TSA right now. A clean bill.

Let's just fund TSA. Let's get over these long lines. You want to fund them. We want to fund them. Let's do one clean bill to get TSA funded.

right here, right now, will you commit to that? And Thun said no. And basically, he said that because you guys have already messed with this so many times, we're not going to defund the rest of DHS. Thun countered and said, well, I'd still like to fund the Coast Guard and FEMA and Secret Service.

So it's just this constant ping-pong back and forth of blame. And in the meantime, what's happening? We see all these videos on social media of these TSA lines, right? I mean, you're getting some that are upwards of four hours long. And Brian, I think that's where the pressure is going to build.

Because the weeks before this, not a lot of Americans really even knew there was a shutdown going on, right? But now those videos spread on TikTok, on Twitter, online. And people are wondering, is my spring break going to get messed up? It's dumb. Yeah.

The Minnesota thing's not happening. It's not live right now. No one's even talking about it. You have somebody in charge, Tom Holman. Christy Noome is now out.

Bovino is now out. I mean, come on. You got body cams. Democrats should be able to go to their base and say, look at these wins we got. Christy Noom is out.

Greg Bovino's out. Operations and Minnesota. They'd be correct. I mean, they really pulled back on what they were doing. There's been no headlines out of Minnesota.

Operation Metro surge is over. They could say that all of the backlash got Christino and pushed out and changed operations. They could take that to their base and say it's a win, but they want more. They want judicial warrants, which is insane when you're dealing with upwards of 15 to 20 million illegal immigrants, and they want masks off. And Republicans, and I think rightfully so, are saying absolutely not.

When you've got these lunatic activists out there who are threatening to kill them every single day, you want to take their masks off. They also, Brian, they want ICE to wear and display ID. ID for voters is Jim Crow 2.0. Right, right. But I mean, could compromise be numbers, like an ID number where it's possible to look it up if you're a fellow law enforcement person?

And they've had those conversations. And the other thing has been body cams. And Republicans are good with those. ICE wants body cams. They want people to be.

Officers feel that body cams protect them too. Everyone's cool with body cams. They're being rolled out right now. There is some wiggle room in terms of what they can do with IDs. As you said, there could be some register numbers that they could use that aren't as public.

One of the big sticking points, though, is the Democrats want judicial warrants, which they don't want to acknowledge the existence and use of administrative warrants. A judicial warrant means you have to go to a federal judge, and there has to be probable cause for suspicion of a federal crime, not just being in the U.S. illegally.

So, all these crimes you see when you hear about illegal immigrants, rape, murder, stabbing somebody, DUIs, those aren't federal crimes. Those are state crimes. And you can't get warrants for those state crimes from a federal judge.

So, essentially, what they would do by wanting judicial warrants is you take off more than 90% of the targets off the table immediately.

So, that's a non-starter. That's a total non-starter for Republicans. They will never go for it. Right. And still, the numbers are still high for people who say if you're here illegally, you should be deported.

Over 50% of the country feels that way. Majority of the country still believes. I think what happened, what got away from the Trump administration, was.

Some of the tactics and the videos, those roving Border Patrol patrols in Minnesota, where they're walking into a 7-Eleven with media cameras, knowing activists are going to be there. People are throwing stuff at each other. There's tear gas going off everywhere. And then all of that bubbled up and culminated with obviously the deadly shootings. I think that really soured public opinion.

I mean, you had two dead Americans, right? Right. And then I think that. You know, when you're looking at those middle independents, I think that was enough to kind of push people like, all right, maybe this is we got people Americans being killed now.

Well, Secretary Noam was not good at her job. She was in the wrong place. Yeah, well, and her messaging was, especially after those shootings, call when you call everybody a domestic terrorist, nobody's a domestic terrorist. It's kind of like how conservatives criticize liberal. When everyone's called a racist, nobody's a racist, right?

It's kind of the other side of that coin. Yeah. I want you to hear the president on that and what it means. Because as you know, Bill, when you were at the border, they said something about 700 plus Iranians crossed and stayed. Over 1,700 or something tried to get across.

Here is President Trump on that and sleeper cells, Cut 5. You mentioned the other day that you believe you know where the sleeper cells are, these Iranian sleeper cells. If you know where they are, can we start going offensively after them legally? Gotta be a little bit careful in a lot of ways. A lot of good people too.

You know, it's like That's the problem. You got a lot of good people. But we're watching them very, very carefully. What do you know about them, Bill?

So, especially in late 2023, 2024, when I was down in San Diego sector, there were a lot. Of Iranians and Middle Eastern folks crossing there. Middle, you know, single adult men, no wives or kids, just. Just crossing. Most of them were okay.

They seemed fine. They'd smile at the cameras. They'd come talk to you. The ones that worried me were the ones that like wanted nothing to do with you, hid their faces from the camera, were dressed in camouflage.

Some of them would have carpet shoes on so they wouldn't leave footprints in the sand. We will never know who those guys were. Remember, like, you've probably saw in half the live shots we did, there were no Border Patrol agents anywhere. They'd wait for hours for Border Patrol to show up because they figured they'd be caught and released. But for the ones who didn't want to be caught, And you have to ask why they didn't want to be caught, they would just walk off into the country and you'd never see them again.

And we will never know who those guys are. And that's what I always wonder now: all those years, all those live shots, all those millions of Godaways who came into the country, where are they now? Who are they now? What are they doing? You know, and I always wonder: are one of these guys I saw walk into the country going to pop up someday on one of our stories that they've committed some attack somewhere?

Am I going to recognize somebody? Am I going to go through my video and look back and recognize somebody? We genuinely had complete open borders for four years, and we have no idea who came in. And do you have a sense this was done on purpose to pay back his left wing that put Joe Biden in office? Was it incompetence?

I don't know personally. The theory that I've heard the most, which I think. makes sense to me is they knew a large majority of these illegal immigrants would flock to blue cities because of the social services. And that's what they did New York, Chicago, Boston, that sort of a thing. And how would that benefit them?

They're not going to vote, but they get counted in the census. And Congress divvies up its congressional seats based off the census.

So if you have more people in a blue city, you're going to get more blue seats in Congress. And that's a way to expand power. Can I prove that? No. But does it make sense?

Look at how hard they're fighting deportations and how hard they're fighting ICE. They didn't do any of this during Obama. And Obama deported millions of people. There was no outcry back then. Part of it's because obviously they oppose Trump, and as you heard him say in his interview with you, they oppose every little thing that he does.

But it got to a point where the border was so damaging for Biden politically, and you could argue it's part of the reason why Kamala lost the election. What's the underlying goal as to why they never reversed course? And I think that theory could hold some water.

Well, the other thing is. that you know, you think about the protests. There's a huge disconnect between the people I saw on the streets and illegal immigrants. Do you ever hear them talking about one of the illegal immigrants is my best friend? They're my neighbors.

They're really mad. No, they're out there to protest what ICE was doing, but they didn't care about the people that ICE was deporting.

Well, and did you notice all the ICE protests have ended now? Yeah. Now they've been replaced with the Iran protest. It's because all these groups are the same. I mean, they interchange their signs for the topic of the day.

But to your point, yeah, like you go out and you talk to these protesters, a lot of them are those like anarchist Antifa people. They just hate the federal government and they hate any structure. Whether ICE is their enemy or Jews are their enemy or it doesn't matter. But to your point, they'd be out there protesting and ICE could be arresting someone next to them and they could have no idea they got an Interpol Red notice out for aggravated homicide or child rape. But.

ICE's arresting someone and that's bad and we're going to interfere.

So a couple of things. March 1st, the bar shooting in Austin, Texas. Guy wearing a sweatshirt from Senegal basically says property of Allah. March 7th, attempted bombing in New York City. We saw that.

We caught it on tape. 17 and 8 or 18 and 19-year-old. Two guys, first-generation Americans whose parents are from Turkey and Afghanistan, respectively. And IED, they seem to be radicalized online. Roblox seems to be the messaging app that they were using.

And then on yesterday, the synagogue attack in Oakland County, Michigan at the earlier Old Dominion University had a big shooting at a... Uh R O T C classroom. What do we have in common with a lot of these? These guys are illegal immigrants, came here, got legal status. In the case of the old Dominion shooter, went to jail for working with ISIS in 2017, gets out.

And ends up still being a terrorist. Yeah. What are you getting now? People are saying, why are they allowed to stay here?

Well, there's a lot of sound, a lot of reaction from Republicans right now saying we got a big-time problem with our legal immigration system because we are bringing people into the country and welcoming them with open arms. And then years later, they're killing our people. And I mean, the case you just mentioned with the old Dominion shooter, absolutely insane, right? Comes in from Sierra Leone, gets naturalized in a U.S. citizen, gets convicted in 2017 of supporting ISIS.

Feds ask for a 20-year sentence. You get a soft-on-crime judge who says, no, we'll give him 11 years. And then they even let him out early from that. Seven years. Seven years for supporting ISIS, a terror organization.

And the guy praised other terror attacks, praised the Fort Hood shooter, said he was considering doing his own terror attacks, and they just let him out. And this poor guy. And this poor guy, he gets a second chance. And this poor guy who got killed in the ROTC class, he didn't get a second chance. Decorated guy, served overseas, served in the military, survives these wars, all sorts of medals, but he gets killed by a terrorist who should have never been on the street in the first place, who was allowed into this country, was embraced by this country with open arms, and at some point gets radicalized and commits a terror attack.

I mean, Brian, what the hell are we doing? I know. I mean, if crime's bad enough, accidents happen, we understand, some people go bad. But when you have, when a criminal gets arrested 20 pumps time or 40 something times and they're out in the street, that's not unfortunate. That is insanity.

Yeah. I mean, imagine being this guy's family, knowing that this guy went to federal prison, he's a known terrorist, and they still let him out and apparently weren't monitoring him, right? I mean. And on the synagogue attacks, it looks like this guy drove right into the classroom, right down the hallway with his car. Thankfully, the security guys just took FBI training and were able to execute him right on the spot.

Imagine if they weren't there. It was a preschool right next to him. And yeah, this guy was from Lebanon, naturalized into a U.S. citizen under President Obama in 2016. Same sort of thing.

Apparently got radicalized at some point and decided to ram his truck into that school, that Jewish school, had a rifle with him. Thankfully, security was there waiting for him. They lit him up. They killed him. And I'm told his body is really badly burned.

But now you see the media headlines coming out that they're. Trying to kind of justify it. They're saying, oh, his family in Lebanon was killed in Israeli airstrikes. There are reports that some of his brothers are members of Hezbollah, but they're trying to justify that. Like, well, this was a reaction to his family.

Let's say, for argument's sake, that's true, and his family was killed in an Israeli airstrike. In what way would that justify trying to slaughter little Jewish children at a school in Michigan? What do they have to do with those airstrikes? Yeah, of course. We've seen some crazy stuff from the media these last couple of weeks.

Remember CNN earlier this week with the the The teenage IED bombers here in New York. Oh, they could have just been going for a stroll on a nice day. It's been a great spring day, but they found themselves arrested for throwing bombs. It's like, what are we doing here? They're trying to whitewash everything.

And then they try to make it sound like Mamdani was the target when it was an anti-Islam protest that was the target.

So crazy couple of weeks, four terror attacks, and then two in one day yesterday alone.

Well, the other thing I get from this is these ROTC guys, one gets, the instructor gets shot.

So he says, is this an ROTC class? He turns around and shoots the instructor in cold blood. But I love the fact that people know you got to take action. I love the fact that there was security there at a synagogue. I hate the fact they need it, but they need it who knew how to act.

I love the fact that the cops went right in in that Austin bar and killed a guy from Senegal without any hesitation. Because that's what you need. We can't stop every terror attack, but we have to do the best we can to not be victims. That old Dominion shooter obviously bit off a lot more than he can shoot, right? He unfortunately was able to kill the instructor in the class.

Then the students turned on him, and reports are they pinned him down and stabbed him to death. Because he could have shot up that whole class, but they took action. They stabbed him, killed him. And imagine if the security wasn't there at the Jewish school yesterday. They would have killed the kids.

We would have been Sandy Hook all over again. Yep, something like it. Bill, when next time we see you, you're going to be on Monday? I'll be back in New York next month. I'll be back on the Hill next week.

So we'll see what happens with this government shutdown. We'll be there to shove cameras in people's faces and try to get some answers and see what we can do. How since it is in session? I believe so, yes. You got to get something done.

Yep. I know. Bill Malujian, great job. Always great to see you. Good to see you.

Thanks for watching. I have the same tie, but it looks better on you. I think I saw it yesterday. I think so too. Back in a moment.

Big guests, bold opinions, better information. This is the Brian Killmead Show. From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmead. Sponsored by Previgen. Previgen made for your brain.

The main thing I have to do is find out who's going to get the Save America Act approved.

Well, I guess Senator John Thune's kind of at a log jam. Look, I think he's a wonderful person, I do. But he seems to be uh Not that he doesn't want to do it, he doesn't think he can do it. And that's bad. I mean, how can you not get voter ID approved?

How can you not get citizenship approved? Proof of citizenship. So the President is a gas. They can't get 60 votes or can't blow up the filibuster. This is the only two things you could do.

You can't do it on reconciliation the way I understand it because there's no money involved. You can do reconciliation when it comes to budget and financing, but you can't do it Without that, you can't choose a simple up-and-down vote. And the thing is, Jon Thu not only doesn't want to blow up the filibuster, he doesn't have the votes to blow up the filibuster. How do you do that? You need a majority.

And he doesn't have a majority. Why didn't Joe Biden do it? Kristen Sinema and Joe Manchin, and I thank them for it. Or else we might have two more states. We might have uh we might have fattened the Supreme Court.

Because it couldn't get rid of the justices.

So who knows what else that they would have done? I mean, at the border, they will legalize immigration. Everybody, come one, come all. Who knows? And the thing is, even if you pass the Save America Act and you blow up the filibuster, really short-sighted.

And if there's a, when there's advice, when there is a president, Democratic president, the next day, with the Senate, as soon as he gets to Senate, or she gets the Senate. Overchain overturn everything. At least now you got to work to overturn the Trump legacy, the stuff that's on executive order. It'll be like everything that Trump passed was executive orders. Thanks so much for listening.

Don't forget to listen to One Nation or Watch One Nation. Sunday at 10, we'll have some more highlights of Donald Trump, and you'll be able to hear the Donald Trump interview on YouTube.
