Will Iran Cheat Again? The Dangerous Reality of a 60-Day Ceasefire

From Highway. Top Fox News headquarters in New York City. Always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kill Me. Oh, I'm so glad you're there.

It's the Brian Kill Me Show closing out a busy, busy week. And I'll tell you, there's so many different things in the air. A lot of things in the ballots coming up on this Friday. The market's pretty happy. Oil, barrel oil, under $90, first time in a long time.

Why? They think peace is upon us, perhaps. I'm not buying it, sadly. Daniel Bilak's going to be on with us from Ukraine. What's happened in Ukraine is flat out changing warfare.

And I am not overstating this. The Russians are on their heels. They're getting hit in their capital. And you know how they responded this morning? They actually hit Romania because they know they basically can't take Ukraine.

It's an interesting response. A little bit later, Chad Bronstein's going to be here, co-founder and CEO of Real American Freestyle, one of the fastest growing sports in the country, about to announce a new deal with Fox Nation.

So before we get to Charlie Hurt set for, you know, him from Fox and Friends weekend, let's get to the big three. Number three. Because I had never seen Joe like that. Before Or never seen the movie. Never.

I don't know what happened. I mean, as I watched it, I thought, oh my God, he's having a stroke. Right. And it scared me to death. And it gets worse from there.

Biden's back, and there's not a Democrat who is happy about it except Jill and her book tour. Number two. What I've learned is I actually don't want celebrities to come out and endorse me. I don't want anybody to endorse me except for the moms and the animal lovers in LA. That's my entire vote.

Yeah. No. Yes, and that is Spencer Pratt, who really wowed people here at Fox News and hopefully in Los Angeles, the backstretch for California. Will it give an upset-minded Republicans, will it give the upset-minded Republicans a chance? Steve Hilton, Spencer Pratt, have to bring back that state, and the only way to do it is to get rid of those Democrats who have destroyed it.

Number one. The thing that got our attention and alarmed us is how they recommitted to all of their original goals. My point is, it's unlikely that they're going to change. No matter what deal we put together, at the end of it, they're going to want to recover everything that they're losing.

So that is General Jack with me about an hour ago. Iran's deal is done. I'll tell you what we know, and I'm still not convinced Iran can live up to any deal.

So, Charlie Hurt came in here a moment ago after filling in for Lawrence today and said, What are we talking about? And I said, You wouldn't tell me. Right. So, I'll just make it easy. Like, I had to guess this one.

Ready? Blue Origin blew up on the launcher. What went wrong? Yes, yes, let me explain to you. As a rocket scientist, let me explain to you what did wrong.

Yes. I loved what Elon Musk probably summed it up the best. He said Rockets are hard. Yep. I love the way he was trying to get to Mars.

He's trying to get to Mars. And what does he call his rocket to get to Mars? I forgot what he calls it. But what happens is he's got to get a good launch and he's got to get certain things and it blows up. And CNN and MSNBC, since he's been so close to Trump, are actually cheering for the explosion.

Yeah, he was their hero five minutes ago. But by the way, he's not disappointing in the explosion. He says it's part of the progress they have to make. He said, I prefer it didn't, but they just learned a ton each time. And don't you know the way Elon Musk works?

If you read the book by Walter Isaacson, I mean, most of his successes come after massive letdowns and failures, but they just keep learning from it. He keeps pushing his engineers and he gets there. That's why I would never, ever sell him short. That's the coolest thing about that book is the way it captures. It's almost like he learned, well, he does learn more from an explosion on the launch pad than he does something successful.

He never, ever fails to learn lessons from all of it. And it's the same mindset that he has with a manufacturing line, an assembly line. He goes, when he decides to streamline either an assembly line or a rocket ship, what does he do? He goes through and he cuts out 25% of the parts to make it lighter, to make it more efficient. And his argument always is: if I haven't cut back so much that it hurts, then I haven't cut back enough.

You can always go back and put things back in the process. But if you're not completely, if it doesn't hurt a little bit in the process, you're not completely rethinking. Before we get to a ryan, quick thing. Why is it that the most successful people... They'll never have any paperwork with them.

They never have like a shoulder bag.

So I'm always, I mean, I have a backpack. Every time I go, why is this so heavy? Right. And I don't have a space company. You know, I don't have a company.

You know, but I go, I'm carrying everything, everything, but I'm looking at the most successful people there with. Jamie Diamond walks in, not a thing in his hand. Even his people don't have anything.

So, why is that?

Well, you're asking the wrong person as a person that also has to lug around a no. And I'm only now beginning to learn that I can actually put a lot of stuff on my phone.

So the phone, this phone has a camera. I don't know if you're aware of this, but you can actually, and you can screen grab things. And I screen grab things. If you go through my photos, it is thousands of pages of screen grabs of things that I've read and then had to circle because I can't remember anything anymore. But these geniuses, and the thing I love about Elon Musk, he's somebody that like our founders would look at.

He is exactly who they wanted to succeed in the country that they were bringing in. And of all the fascinating people, the founding fathers, your mom, he reminds me of two: Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. Yeah, because I mean, when you look at Benjamin Franklin, oh, what did he do? The fire department. Oh, what did he do?

Wood-burning stove? What did he do? Electricity. What did he do? Convince the French to help us win a war?

I mean, what couldn't he do? He looked at it every day and Say, why not? Thomas Jefferson, the same thing. You know, you go into Monticello and he's got a weather system there. You know, he's got a clock that he engineered himself.

There's an archway in between rooms where he said he'd like to lay out his books, but didn't want to go to the bedroom to sleep.

So he'd sleep in between rooms, not to waste any time. And to this day, and to this day, the plants that he grew on that mountain on his farm where he was able to grow plants that could not grow anywhere within 100 miles of there, in completely different growth zones in Virginia, because of the way he used rock formations, he would build rock walls just the way like reptiles use rocks to adjust their temperatures. He could keep, he could, you have a completely different growing zone on the south side of the mountain where you had these rocks that would retain heat all win all night long, even in the winter, because just the sun was coming down. He was able to do all of this straight out of his. His brain.

He was a true Renaissance man, and they were all, not only were they interested in politics and human nature, they were very interested in science. And Elon Musk is a student of science, obviously, but he's also a student of human nature.

Well, yeah, like you look at Jefferson, not a great speaker, hated it.

So everyone has a little bit of weakness. I mean, Elon Musk clearly has some weaknesses, but got extreme successes, also had a horrific upbringing with a terrible dad. A fantastic mom, but a terrible dad.

So, and he's still trying to overcome that. All right, with something less impressive. Let's talk about Joe Biden.

So she gets a, I think it's 20 million, at least 20 million advance, right? To write a book that nobody wants. I think it's almost like a payoff. And she's coming out. And she actually thinks, Charlie, that she's got a compliant press still and a compliant Democratic Party that will back her, and he doesn't.

If you want to prove, Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper wrote a book, it looks like Alex Thompson's book that Jake Tapper put his name on personally, and they just talk about talking to 200 different staffers. Who were 200 different staffers that worked for the Bidens and talked about how he was consistently failing? Here he is.

So keep in mind, on CNN, When Jill Biden comes out and says, Well, my husband, I never saw him like he was in the debate before or after. Cut 37.

Well, she says that she's never seen him act that way before or since, but in the interviews that over 200 of which that Jake and I did, Other people did see him act like that in the months before and in the months after that, and those moments became increasingly hard to predict. And the White House was increasingly trying to manage them to keep those moments out of public view. And eventually, during the debate, they could no longer hide those moments from the public.

So what did she expect? She knew this book was out already. Jake Tab responded. What did she expect? I mean, I don't know that she cares.

I think that because she has always embarrassed. You don't think she's embarrassed taken place over time? She wasn't embarrassed by her husband, everything that her husband went through. She wasn't embarrassed enough to actually look out for his personal best interests. She was the only one calling him out.

Yeah. But talk about the opposite of. Thomas Jefferson or Elon Musk. These are people who have spent their entire lives in politics, and all they know are politics. They've spent their entire lives trying, and they've made a tidy little fortune off of politics.

And I think that when her husband left office, I think that they looked around and they got desperate and they felt like, okay, the money train is over. The gravy train is over. We're not going to, we have no further value.

So they have to squeeze every penny they can. And so they do a book like this because they view it as the only way forward in terms of making money. It was the last hope of squeezing another ounce out of the stone of politics. We went over this when Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson released the book. We thought, really?

You're saying everything we said. You were ridiculing us for doing it. And so I'm a little bit over it. But think about the Democratic Party. They want to have a situation where they don't like the Iran war.

They want to focus on illegal immigration that was. going on in Newark. They want to talk about, I don't know. They have Ken Paxton, the controversy's there. Do they want to talk about Susan Collins?

But instead, they're either talking about the autopsy that just came out.

Now they're talking about Joe Biden again and his cognitive decline. These are negative things that they're forced to digest again. They want to talk about anything but the issues because on the issues, Donald Trump has proven that they are wrong on every single major issue from the border to their weird gender stuff, all that stuff that they can't defend.

So they wind up just talking about this stuff. And to me, I'm over it too, and it's all sort of stuff that we've been talking about for a long time. But you do still have a lot of members of the Democrat Party, Chris Coons, for example, in the United States Senate, powerful people in positions of power who spent four years lying to us about all of this. To me, that is very significant. Every time we talked about history, I remember in 11th grade, Woodrow Wilson had a stroke and his wife covered up for him.

And we didn't find it to years later that she was making all the decisions and they just salted him away. That was before the era of television. Do you think we're going to be talking about this? In decades from now.

Well, that year in 2020 to 2024, when Joe Biden's wife covered for him. Do you think that we'll be talking like we do about Woodrow Wilson's wife after he had a stroke? I think that, yeah, I do think we will be, but I think we'll be doing it in the context of Donald Trump. From 2016 to 2028, all the ways that Donald Trump both defied every, he rewrote all the books on how to do politics, but also when it came to the actual issues, I've always argued that 2016, and the same is true about 2024, both of those elections were the most issue-oriented elections of our lifetime. They were actually about issues.

Donald Trump didn't win because he was a nice guy. He won because he was talking about issues that nobody else wanted to talk about. And you had that interregnum where you had Joe Biden, who the media loved and wanted to succeed, and he was an absolute, total, complete failure. And that failure, partly probably because he was losing his mind, partly because who knows who was in control, but also because the issues that the party embraced are issues that nobody, even Democrats didn't want. See, this worries me.

about the country. I looked at Spanberger ran as a moderate, and so did Mikey Sherrill, and so did Joe Biden.

So we go, well, you know what, center left as opposed to center right.

Okay. Yeah. And they lied. Totally. Mandami didn't lie.

You know, this woman, this mayor, Mandami is a socialist.

So I know that that is a disaster. I look at the so the socialist in-ept socialists in Seattle, I can't even remember her name, but never had a job before, lived with her parents, and gets this job. And I look at these people that say who they are. And that's scary enough. But the ones that are deceiving, that's the worst.

Yeah, but I would say this, though. New York City, Seattle, San Francisco, those are.

Well, San Francisco, this guy's better. The new mayor's good. But those places are kind of weird places. They're weird little petri dishes of politics. What is so important to me about New Jersey and Virginia is that these are states that are, they're not Republican states, certainly.

45%. But they're, yeah, they're within range for legitimate Republicans, as we have seen with in New Jersey, as we saw with Glenn Young in Virginia. But like you say, they ran, the New York Times called Mikey Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger national security moms. They talked about national security. They talked about enforcing laws.

They talked about everything that was mainstream. And then they govern as total radical wackos. And to me, I take some hope from that. I think that Democrats are going to learn that they have completely blown themselves up by doing that information. I just want to get you on the record.

We haven't talked about this, but I saw Spencer Bratt yesterday, and he's totally different from Trump in many ways, but not all. The one way they're alike, they're totally authentic. Totally. And of course, they're going to look at their backgrounds, say they have no experience, but they don't care. Trump didn't care.

And Spencer Pratt didn't care. Here's a little of what he said on Fox and Prince Co 20. I'm a registered Republican, but my supporters are all Democrats because Los Angeles is all Democrats. All the people financing me are Democrats. All the meetings I take every day are Democrats.

Democrats are very angry with what happened to Los Angeles. They were fed a bunch of lies by Mayor Bass, who said she was going to literally solve homelessness. She was going to do all these things she didn't do.

So they, all of the people that put her actually in office are now behind me.

So I see him in third in the latest poll, Charlie, and the minute we have left. I think he's wildly underpolled. I think that he has going to get close to 50. Yeah, just like within 2016, where you had the shy Trump voter, I think you have shy Spencer Pratt voters who just are sick and tired of it. And they're not right-wingers, they're not conservatives necessarily, but they just are sick and tired of the nonsense in L.A.

and they want things to work. And, you know, by the way, if you're a Democrat and your belief is that government is the solution to all of these problems, wouldn't you want government to be competent? Wouldn't you want government to work properly? And it takes a guy like Spencer Pratt to walk out and say, no, actually, none of these things are working properly. The mayor of San Francisco, according to almost all reports, he's a leader.

I guess he's from an heir to the Levi fortune. He's doing a really good job by doing some of the things that we talked about, no more needles, cleaning up the homelessness. Karen Bass is at 26%. To me, that is the most important number out of L.A. We're going to see you on Saturday from 6 a.m.

to 10 and Sunday from 6 a.m. And then Gutfeld tonight.

So I'm hoping after the break, you're going to give me some tips on how to make Gutfeld be really nice to me. Never gonna happen, and I'm the worst person to ask, and you know that. You're not gonna help me with that? Back in a moment. It's Brian Killmade.

This is the Brian Killmead Show. Is there a line that they would cross for you to go on the offensive again militarily?

Well, a deal that wasn't going to be good for us is the line, ultimately, because, you know, I'm playing it out and we're going to see, and that's what I do. I negotiate. They negotiate. They're very good negotiators. They're crafty.

But in the end, we have all the cards.

So I'm looking at this deal, and it's just framed out. And I think the president's just going to try to get to November and then blow their doors off because Iran is not going to live up to this. They're talking about a 60-day agreement pending Trump's approval. Strait of Hermuz unrestricted, mines removed. US blockade lifted, Iran allowed to sell oil freely.

Iran agrees not to pursue a nuclear weapon. They've never agreed not to pursue a nuclear weapon. Then talks begin on uranium disposal and enrichment. U.S. to discuss sanctions, relief, and frozen funds.

I mean, you're talking $100 billion.

Now, the Deputy Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council came out and said Iran's assets must be returned, all of them, right away.

Okay, not good. And they're. uh head of our their parliament says we are going to maintain the right to rich uranium.

So am I to believe the deal? Am I to believe the people? Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. In this moment, we can we can see that even.

during our really initiative on the battlefield. We've got it. We are in a better position than it was during the year. We even in such situ situation we have such circumstances where our people are not saved. Civilians, first of all, I'm speaking about our civilians because of the Big deficit with anti-ballistic missiles and even the program Pearl that which works doesn't help totally.

So that was President Zelensky talking about the progress they made and what they need to continue to fight off Russia, who, man, how they turned it around. When people talk about Countries that have persevered and ultimately will prevail. They're going to be talking about Ukraine for generations. They are already the strongest army in Europe. I would take them pound for pound over the Russians any single day.

And I hope France, Sweden, Norway, England, everybody understands that you better learn to defend yourself like Ukraine's been forced to. But man, fundamentally, they know how to fight and they're not going to be beat. Daniel Bilak is part of that. She is a member of the Territorial Defense Forces of Ukraine, former Chief Investment Advisor to the Prime Minister of Ukraine, and has been a great spokesperson for the fight. Daniel, how would you characterize things on the ground today in Ukraine?

Thanks. Good to be back on, Brian.

Well we're definitely Well I'm a student. But that's why you're taking the fight back to the And I'm sorry about that. You know what? Why don't I play another cut from President Zelensky and have you comment on it because I want to put once you hear the other one? Let's listen.

I think that the situation is not simple because of these attacks. We have the questions with anti-ballistic missiles and we are very thankful for the programme portal and we are thankful for our dialogue.

So he wrote a letter to Congress. He was greeting. Senator Richard Blumenthal, along with Lindsey Graham, has really stood by Ukraine. And I hope we continue to support Ukraine. The one thing I just disagree with the President on, he doesn't seem all in and just wants to broker a peace deal.

And I don't think he understands what's been innovated from that country. Daniel, it's amazing what you guys have done.

Well, Brian, we're extremely grateful to the people of the United States for the support we've had in this battle from day one. I mean, without a doubt, without your support, we would not be here today. And the nature of that support has changed over time, but I think the support of the American people hasn't. I mean, because of what you've been able to provide us with and what we're buying from you now, we're not only in this fight, but we're taking the fight back to them, as President Zelensky has said. We've captured more territory in the last few months than Russia took in the last nine months of last year at horrific cost to them.

They're losing 35,000 men a month. where our losses are some somewhere like ten times less. And that's all been it's all been tech. It's all been tech iterated. You know, as you know, I think I mentioned I'm a member of the board of something called Ukrainian Freedom Fund, and they had a big symposium in Boston recently where it was said that Ukraine is evolving as a laboratory of military adaptation and involved technology, organizational change, and battlefield innovation.

And this is constant iteration between the guys in the front line and the private sector. I mean, you know, it's not the government that's building these things. And it's small companies.

Some have become quite big companies. And we're iterating and making technological advances inside of weeks, not even months. Um You know, we're under massive attack, Brian. You know, last week we had 1,500 drones and 90 missiles shot at us. Most of those were aimed at cave.

And, you know, these are big rockets now.

So ballistic missiles, cruise missiles. And as President Zelensky said, we're running low on Patriot because it's the only thing that can shoot the big guys down. We're probably shooting down about 90% of the Shekheds, the drones that are attacking us with interceptors, cheap interceptors that have been developed by American, European, and Ukrainian companies that are highly effective. But these big ballistic missiles, there was one, a cruise missile hit two weeks before this attack. A cruise missile hit an apartment building right next to my girls' school and brought the whole building down, killed 24 people, including three children.

Yeah. So, this, but you know, I was talking to these generals, and you live it, but they said if you want to see the future of fighting. Don't look at Iran. Look at Ukraine. And what they've been able to innovate.

And now, sure enough, you guys looking to make money, I hope, but also you're helping out the Gulf states, helping out the European states. You're looking to do deals with people about what you guys have done and adapted to in real time. I mean, it's unbelievable. You took out the Russians, the Ukrainians took out the Russian Navy. Without the Navy, without a Navy.

They literally tried to shut off your access to moving grain out of your country. And you decided, well, we're just going to take action ourselves. And now you blew open those waterways. Yeah, that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger, Brian. And we're up against a terrorist state that wants to eliminate us.

As a people, as a nation, completely. And what we're seeing from Russia today is a sign of real desperation. The bombs that they're throwing at us. The missiles are these are like made a month or two ago. They're not coming out of inventory anymore.

And that's that asymmetrical warfare. I mean, the whole notion of warfare has changed dramatically. And I think the United States got a taste of that in Iran. I mean, the tactics that the Iranians were using, they learned from the Russians. And it just shows that how much Russia has been helping Iran kill American soldiers and attack American troops.

In the Gulf. This is not just some Iranian revolutionary guards. They are being backed by Russia and China. Who do you think is giving the Iranians a coordinates of where American troops are and bases? Exactly.

Absolutely. And so, you know, the United States and Ukraine are actually coming together much closer in terms of the kind of things that the American military, the most Formidable fighting force in the world, but the nature of warfare is changing. Even cheaper. A $500 drone can take out a $5 million tank. And so you, you know, the United States needs that battlefield technology and that battlefield experience.

But we need things that you have that we can't make, like the Patriot missiles. And I think there is a lot that can be done here. The the Gulf states are looking at building factories to make the kinds of drones that we've been manu b we've been manufacturing in Ukraine, cheap swarms. Things that can take down all sorts of drones coming into the country in exchange for big-ticket license agreements that's going to help continue to fund our defense industrial base.

So, Daniel, the United States is important behind that, too.

So, I was in Germany. And there's a whole drone division from Ukrainians. I met they were in their 20s. I saw a general in his 40s at a military base, obviously. And I saw a bunch of.

Drone operators, and they would just tell me how, you know, in the beginning, if you had a drone, you had a guy with a joystick, could be somewhere in Las Vegas, and they'd be controlling that operation in Afghanistan.

Now, AI is you basically give it a mission and tell them to accomplish it, and the drone makes its own decisions. And we're watching some of this adjustment in real time, but it's obvious that this goes beyond leadership. You know, it's not prime minister to president, excuse me, it's not secretary of state to president. A lot of this is military to military, and they're just dealing with each other on a lower level, but a more important level. Do you find that?

Yeah, 100%. I mean, you know, we we've got a very decentralized a process where a lot of the brigades and Army Corps are able to procure the things they need on their own. Battlefield is now really all about organizing, training and equipping. That's always been the case. But it's in a far more granular fashion.

And there was an article in the Wall Street Journal recently about Operation Hedgehog, which was War Games, that took place in Estonia last year, where 16 Ukrainian drone operators from the Nemesis battalion in the Unmanned Systems Forces basically took out two NATO battalions. 16 guys took out two NATO battalions. I know those guys. And I asked them, what was it like? And he said it was a turkey shoot.

So they just, you know, and it's not their fault. They just, they just never had to face that kind of an it's all changing in real time. It's really important. Yep. Thanks so much, Daniel.

I got to end there up against a hard break, but continue to fight. You definitely have support of almost the entire country, and it's amazing we should be doing deals together rapidly because we have to bulk up our drone technology. And we need some, we're putting about, I think, $90 billion aside just for that. We should go to Ukraine to find it out, find out how to do it. Daniel Bilak, thanks so much.

When we come back, Chad Bronstein joins us from RAF. Don't move. Diving deep into today's top stories, it's Brian Kilmead. I don't know. The fastest three hours in radio.

You're with Brian Kilmead. Hey, we are back. Let's bring in Chad Bronstein, co-founder and CEO of Real American Freestyle, that debuted on Fox Nation. And he's been loyal to the network as wrestling has really grown in a way that no one thought possible. And they've tried this in the past, it has just not worked.

They're now on their ninth event coming up in Dallas. It'll be live Saturday night, competing with me in Reno, Nevada. How dare you, Chad? I'm going to be on stage in Reno, but you think you can beat me, and you probably will over in Dallas, starting at 8 o'clock on Fox Nation.

So, Chad, as you continue to make progress, you also have a big announcement, don't you? Yeah, well, we announced a big partnership with Fox, another one. We've done six different deals with Fox in under eight months. And Brian, I always like to say this on your show. I should be one of your favorite guests now.

But you are the reason why introducing us to Gavin Haddon almost a year ago of why we're on Fox. And so it's been an unbelievable partnership for us. We just launched a 14-show extension. We're doing our first youth tournament series, which is incredible. Fox has partnered with us on that.

So now the youth will be able to compete on the main stage every Sunday after our Saturday event. And we're also released with you guys like American Edo kind of format, trying out to be the next real American freestyle superstar.

So we're going to have an open call for people to actually come out. Brian, you could come out and singlet like you've been before and try out for your chance to be on our stage.

So let me see.

So I would probably right now I'm 173. I'd have to get down to what? What would be a weight class, probably in my vicinity? I'd probably get down to 150, and I'd have to hope that somebody. I have to hope that somebody has no experience.

You versus Real Woods. It's like, you know, hey, so that's going to be interesting.

So you have a chance to do a Rocky story. Yeah, it's like I think we're going to see so many cool stories come out of that. To be honest with you, like when we first met with Fox about this idea, I was actually Fox gave us, you know, we thought about this, but they kind of pushed us to do this. But it's a really cool, it's going to, we're going to have thousands of people trying out, and you're going to uncover some really cool stories and some people that we may not have responded to because we got, obviously, we're moving about and they have their opportunity to be seen.

So what you're also doing is a next-gen program.

So I can tell you the wrestling has always been big in my town of Massapequa and certain areas, just like lacrosse.

Some areas it's hotbread, some areas it isn't. And the Midwest, obviously it thrives at the college level.

So what you're doing, trying to do is help the next generation, literally, that's the name of it. And it launches July 19th in Milwaukee. What is the approach there?

So, you know, how I started this was because of my son, right? My son's almost 10 years old, but I wrestled my whole life, kind of grew up right in the same area as you did with the big wrestling town. And, you know, this was started off of youth, right? Giving the youth the ability to meet their superstars, people they look up to. There's a big tournament series that happens all the time in youth.

And every time we host an event, kids come up to us and say, Hey, when's our shot? When's our shot to be on the big stage?

So next gen's gonna get, it's like it's a, you know, we have these long weekends. They're gonna have the opportunity to wrestle every Sunday, and they have to wrestle in three tournaments out of six if they wanna make it to our big call. Pay-per-view, right? Our longer weekend where Friday, the number one RAF belt holder for the youth will go up against the number one contender the night before the main stage.

So they'll have the same opportunity, same setup, and they get to have the Eric Bischoff show production quality on that main stage.

So if you're a wrestling family or your kids like to wrestle, instead of, you know, you got your normal tournaments that are in your town, got it, that's fine, go do it. But now you have a chance, almost like American Idol. To almost like win your region and have a chance to do this on this platform. And have a chance to wrestle in bigger and bigger events. There's no downside to that.

Well, Brian, we actually partnered with USA Wrestling on this too. And what's crazy is when we announced it we didn't announce we just announced Fox streaming deal a couple of days ago. When we announced the deal, Mexico, Puerto Rico, all these different New Zealand people are signing up to be the next RAF next-gen superstar.

So in Milwaukee, when we have this event, we got 850 registrants the day of we launched it. Under 12. Under 12?

So 8U, 10U, 12U, 15U. And so what's also great is. Fox investing in showcasing these athletes on Fox Nation is just, you know, there's never been, this has never happened before in the sport of wrestling, but we believe that youth, obviously, and that's most of our audience, is family-friendly, we're a family-friendly sport. And so it's a lot of youth that are coming to our events. You know what's great is, number one, it's great for the sport.

I love when grassroots sports grow. Like basketball and football don't need any help, right? But it's the other sports, gymnastics, you know, field hockey, wrestling. I mean, there's sports that if you expose people to it, it'll really grow. And that's your goal, not to just make money at the highest level.

Everyone can do that. Major League Baseball and the NFL. What you're doing is, let's grow the next generation. Little Lee did that a little bit too, where they name all the teams, they were the Indians and the Yankees and the Mets.

So they kind of, you get a loyalty to the Astros, whoever you played with as a kid. But you guys are going to start doing that now, breed wrestling. And what I love about it is you're not running from USA Wrestling. And this way they don't feel as though you're a rival. You're partnering with them, so you have the nonprofit element to it.

That have been the bedrock of the sport. Yeah, you know, there's never been a pro league. And USA Wrestling, you know, we have a good relationship with them. They're happy about this, right? We're showcasing the sport on the biggest stage.

And most of USA Wrestling Olympians or people that are competing are part of RAF.

So we have a symbiotic relationship. But yes, to your point, it's like the NBA has with their Olympic committees, right? We're a professional league.

So we want to work with them. We're going to work with UWW and the international regions. But it's to give, it's like you said, it's not just to make money, it's to build the sport. And we're investing a lot of money in the sport. And don't forget, Saturday night is coming up at 8 o'clock.

We start at 7, so stop watching us and then watch you guys. Undiscovered, the search for the next RAF superstar is a new original unscripted series, also on Fox Nation. Hey, Chad, congratulations on all this. You are not letting, you're not standing still on your success. You're continuing to expand.

Congratulations.

Well, Brian, the only thing I would say is you still haven't been to one yet. I know. I got to come. But thank you for everything. Thank you for everything you've done.

You're the best. Thanks so much, Chad Brunson. Thank you. Keep it here. Brian, kill me, Chair.

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. I come to you from Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, around the world. We got a great YouTube channel now, too. If you ever want to check us out there, youtube.com/slash at the Brian Killmee Show.

So many people watching everything on YouTube and tell me about it.

So it's great to have our own channel. Rebecca Heinrich's going to be with us, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute. We're going to break down with that with Iran. And Daniel Hoffman, former CIA station chief, served in Moscow, Iraq, Pakistan, South Asia, Europe, and probably did a lot of things he can't talk about. But we'll try to get it out of him.

He's got a great message this graduation season, and we got to talk about what this deal is that might be framed out to stop the war in Iran. Let's get to the big three. Number three. Because I had never seen Joe like that. Before Never seen one.

Never. I don't know what happened. I mean, as I watched it, I thought, oh my God, he's having a stroke. She's a liar. And it scared me to death.

Yeah, she's a liar. Biden's back, and there's not a Democrat who's happy about it, except Jill. We'll talk about it. Number two. What I've learned is I actually don't want celebrities to come out and endorse me.

I don't want anybody to endorse me except for the moms and the animal lovers in LA. That's my entire vote. Yeah. Backstretch for California. Will it give an upset-minded Republican Party a chance?

Steve Hilton as governor, Spencer Pratt as mayor. Let's see if they can do it. Number one. The thing that got our attention and alarmed us is how they recommitted to all of their original goals. My point is, it's unlikely that they're going to change.

No matter what deal we put together, at the end of it, they're going to want to recover everything that they're losing.

Iran deal done, question mark. I'll tell you what we know, and I'm not convinced Iran will live up to anything they say they will. And because I'm getting a lot of. different things that they're saying. Here's essentially the deal.

60-day agreement. to negotiate. In that time, the Strait of Hormuz opens unrestricted, mines removed. The U.S. blockade lifted.

Iran allowed to sell oil freely. Really? Iran agrees not to pursue a nuclear weapon. Do we possibly believe that? Talks begin on uranium disposal and enrichment.

Well, that's good. U.S. to discuss sanctions relief and frozen funds, maybe to a degree. Discuss humanitarian and aid and goods for Iran. That's okay.

But this is crazy. for Israel, the Israel Hezbollah war in Lebanon would end. Yes. If you stop funding the proxies, then we could talk about that ending. But what is Israel supposed to sit there and watch Hezbollah rearm?

Daniel Hoffman joins us now. Here's the definition of skeptical usually.

Well, Daniel, how do you feel about this memorandum of understanding? Yeah, more than skeptical, Brian. Look, the point of our military operation inside Iran was to induce Iran to negotiate in good faith on their nuclear program, on their ballistic missile and drone programs, and on proxy terrorists. These were all the things that we didn't get to with the JCPOA. And President Trump rightly withdrew from the JCPOA, and he will be judged on whether he can deliver something better.

Now we've won every single kinetic engagement with Iran, but speaking frankly, we haven't achieved our strategic objective of bringing Iran to their knees and inducing them to negotiate in a way that would suit our own national security. I'm concerned because we have three elements of our leverage. It's the sanctions, it's the blockade, and the potential for U.S. military strikes. When we enter a negotiation phase, the potential for U.S.

military strikes goes down. If we eliminate the blockade, That reduces a lot of leverage for us. And if we're talking about giving Iran money for showing up to negotiate, I don't like that either.

So there's a lot of concerns going into this alleged agreement. But the President is rightly holding, and we may yet see some changes to it. And the one thing I'd say, Daniel, could count on the Iranians to not live up to a deal and force additional action. And if we force additional action, I think we'll have additional leverage. Here's the President yesterday cut three.

Well, I think we're doing very well. I think they're starting to give us the things that they have to give us. And if they do, that's great. And if they won't, then the man on my left is going to finish them off. And that man on his left is Secretary of War Pete Hagseth.

How equipped are we to finish them off? Yeah, well, that's a real good question. You know, we've definitely expended a lot of our munitions and It's not something the Trump administration is ever going to discuss publicly, the extent to which we are prepared militarily to carry on additional strikes. I'm sure we are, but the question about whether that limits our ability to deter China in Asia or to deal with Russia's barbaric war on Ukraine, those are questions the administration will be discussing behind the scenes. I don't expect us to learn a whole lot publicly about that.

I mean, them saying come get the uranium, that's a yes or no. We have to come and get it. If they don't let us, we know. But when they say we're not enriching, we never believe that. I mean, you don't build a nuclear program into a mountain if you are not enriching to weapons grade.

And then you have the pickaxe situation, which we really have not affected because it's so effectively been buried inside that huge mountain. Look, it's the the post-war Phase that concerns me a great deal. If Iran is given sanctions relief, we know where that money is going. It's not to build girls' schools. They're going to rearm and reconstitute their weapons of mass destruction.

They're going to provide funding to proxy terrorists to carry on attacks in the region and beyond. And that that concerns me greatly. We have not We decapitated the regime, but we didn't change the regime or its behavior. We're going to have to deal with them long term unless. we go back to military strikes and take out this leadership in the hope that the next round of leaders might be more amenable to negotiating in good faith.

I want you to hear what General Jack told me this morning. Uh cut 11. Where the Iranians are, they want to stretch these negotiations out as long as possible because then they think, in their minds, it's less likely. the President will go back into military operations. But they have miscalculated about this President before, and that's dangerous on this part, and they would likely do that again here.

I mean, they just know one thing. He's totally, to them, he's totally unpredictable. Would you, isn't that you? As a CIA guy, if I told you to study President Trump. He'd be a very hard guy to study because you don't really see patterns.

Am I right, Dan? No patterns and a willingness to take great risk, like a riverboat gambler. You know, President Trump has succeeded and failed in business. And he is willing to take risks when it comes to foreign policy. No other President would have thought of doing what he did in Venezuela, or put the pressure on Cuba, or would launch an attack to kill the IRGC commander Soleimani back in 2020, or this war against Iran.

So, yes, he is very hard. indeed to predict. But the Iranians are also, it's worth remembering a junior partner in this century's axis of dictatorships, and they know if they delay US strikes, that just gives them more time to receive assistance from their allies, Russia and China.

So we hear this story. We know that China was getting around the sanctions by buying oil on this so-called shadow fleet.

Well, evidently, Iran has been getting billions of dollars from China still through this entire process. $31 billion from oil sales to China just last year. China accounts for about 90 percent of their sales. And now they talk about the shadow, the so-called teapot refineries that are getting some of this sanctioned oil and putting them into the Chinese economy. Does it surprise you that they would say one thing and do another to us?

No, that's what China does. And look, China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, they're all allied together and they share an interest. Particularly, Russia, Iran, and China, in reducing or eliminating altogether U.S. influence in the Middle East.

So it would open up opportunities for China. China operates to a great degree in the Middle East. They've got factories at Oman. They've sought closer relationships with Gulf states. They want to portray the United States as an unreliable ally.

That's the long game. For Iran, as well as with support from Russia and China. And that's something that we have to be dealing with and countering. What about leverage points? What about we tell the Gulf states, you got to make a choice.

You pressure China to stop financing Iran because Iran made it clear the Gulf states are the enemy. They've been going after Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman in the beginning, as well as Saudi Arabia.

So why don't the Gulf states use their leverage point and say, make a choice, China? Yeah. Look, it's either us or them, and that's over to Secretary Rubio. To conduct the diplomacy with our Gulf State allies and partners to ensure that they make the right choice. You're allied with us.

That means that you shouldn't be doing business with the Chinese, Oman, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and others. UAE has a lot of Russian money right now in their country. They need to deal with that as well. And that's just part of diplomacy, and it's over to Secretary Rubio to make that happen.

So, right now, Iranian officials are urging its long-suffering people to conserve water, fuel, and electricity.

Now, they already had shortages. I don't know, Dan, how in touch you are with people that might know what's going on in Iran, but what is the situation the best you know it? I mean, it's it's been awful for for years and years, but The IRGC, which is in charge of Iran, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps with the besieged paramilitary force supporting them, doesn't care. They will deny human rights to their population and suppress them. The population doesn't have the wherewithal to overthrow the regime.

The regime has a lot of weapons and a lot of guys who are willing to shoot innocent people.

So yes, there's a lot of pain being felt. But again, I can tell you that even if Iran were to receive Some sanctions relief, that money's not going into making life better for Iranians. Nor do I see the potential for um for any change in the regime by virtue of the fact that they've modernized their economy or received additional money for reconstruction. I just don't see any of that happening. They define themselves based on being at war with the United States and Israel.

And they're good at that. But who do we talk to? I'm reading quotes from. Their Deputy Secretary of National Security saying Iran's assets must be returned to in full and unconditionally. All right, all the frozen funds.

That's $100 billion, maybe more. That's not going to happen. And then their head of the Iranian Parliament's National Security Committee comes out and says, Iran's red lines include the country's right to enrich uranium.

Okay. That's a non-starter too. That's not in the deal.

So, not only are they not true to their word, we don't know whose word we're taking.

Well, this is public posturing, and they need to appear tough. For their own. Regime, for the guys in their own regime, and also because they are the leader of the resistance, as they like to call it, against Israel and the United States.

So they wanna s look sound and sound tough. To their proxy terrorists, to Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and the Shia militants, proxy militants in Iraq. That's why you're seeing all this.

Now, behind the scenes, Brian. Uh there may be discussions happening there. To which we are not privy, where Iranians are more open about deals they may be willing to make. But they could never say so publicly. That's just not going to happen.

Not with these guys.

So just talk about Ukraine real quick before we go. It looks like last night the Russians hit an apartment building in Romania. Why would a country that's losing 35,000 soldiers a week, 35,000, let's say, so they're losing this, they're actually losing ground. We just had an official on from Ukraine. They've gained more ground over the last month than the Russians have gained in the last nine months.

So they're really taking a pounding. Why would it be working to their advantage to hit a NATO ally?

So, Putin has multiple objectives going on at the same time. The reason why they would be fine with drones flying into NATO member airspace. Or hitting a population in Romania is because they want to demonstrate that NATO is feckless. To deal with any Russian threat. It's a probe.

And it's a dig at NATO and US leadership of NATO. And look, the To me at least, strategically. We should be taking the fight to Iran and supporting Ukraine. And that's how we get at Russia, Iran, and China, and North Korea. The lineup is real clear here.

It's more clear now than it's been since the 1930s when we're fighting Hitler. It's us against dictatorships. And Ukraine is very much the geopolitical fault line between dictatorship and democracy. And we can either side up with the Ukrainians, who are providing a lot of assistance to the Gulf states on counter-drone warfare. I think we should be doubling down.

As many others, General Keene, General Kellogg, have said, we need to be doubling down on our support to Ukraine. That's how we deal with Iran more effectively as well. Dan, aren't they the number one army in Europe right now? Yeah. I kind of want them on my side.

Also, the way they've integrated intelligence. Into their warfighting, along with this century's revolution in military affairs, drones. And they are the leaders, absolutely. Daniel Hopman, thanks so much. But lastly, before we go, you had a message that you wrote in your column about for high school seniors and people graduating.

What is that message?

So the message was embrace the unexpected. I didn't come up with that myself. That was a valedictorian, a kid named Seth Scott, delivered an inspiring graduation speech to his classmates at Plano Senior High School in Texas back in 2018. And he encouraged his fellow graduates to be undaunted. about the future, to take risks.

And I've just found that in my own life after retiring from CIA, those words just resonated deeply with me. Rely on education and continue to learn. Learning is a lifelong journey, and that's how we deal with whatever unexpected events might happen in our lives. For me and my kids, it was my wife being diagnosed with terminal cancer when she was 37 and passing away four years later when our kids were 11 and 8. But we embraced the unexpected.

And we dealt with it. We didn't waste time focusing on things we couldn't do anything about. We tried to find a path to philanthropy that would soothe our broken hearts by working with the Jesse Rees Foundation to support kids in the fight for their lives against pediatric cancer.

So I just thought it was a message I wanted to share with kids as they enter a new phase in their lives, whether they're moving on for more school or maybe taking a break to go into the workforce. How are you kids doing? Listen, I always say the best thing I did for them was marry their mom.

So they are excelling on the sports field and at the classroom, thanks to mom, and I'm grateful for that. Awesome. Daniel Hoffman, thanks so much. Appreciate it. And we'll be targeting you again as this deal formulates.

Thank you. Daniel Hoffman, former CIA station chief in multiple trouble areas, and he's a Fox News contributor. Back in a moment. Politics, current events, and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say.

Stay with Brian Kilmead. The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead. Other people did see him act like that in the months before and in the months after that. And those moments became increasingly hard to predict.

And I just wonder if that's not something that the Democrats are not going to have to deal with for the next two years, or at least that may come up. Conversation should be had about the. Deceptiveness that was behind this. Like, that's the conversation that I think ought to be had. The Joe Biden was not going to be a credible candidate for president because of his age and declining health.

Uh that is ridiculous, it's farcical, but true. All those Democrats weighing in, demanded, and I look at the CNN hosts as she's clearly left-wing. Want to know an explanation of what happened to Joe Biden, why his failure was covered up. It wasn't covered up. You didn't admit to it, but it wasn't covered up.

His doctor. Should be really cold on the carpet. That's a guy. that you get bipartisan ridicule. Because he would not answer the question, would not sit down for an interview, would not hold a press conference because he was basically covering up for a guy.

Now we find out massive cancer, by the way. No, everyone forgets about that. He's going through treatment. And then we find out that we see before our eyes him faltering, not being able to walk. Uh not being able to talk, not being able to think.

Understand it, mixing up names and who's dead and who's alive, and thinking of naming world leaders that haven't been in office since the 1970s or 80s. I mean, Helmut Cole. He was saying the most ridiculous things. Uh Prime Minister Metteround of France?

So We were pointing it out, nobody was saying it. When you pointed it out, you were cold, you were cruel.

Now, everyone's pointing it out. It's just so crazy that the former first lady is going to write a book and think she can still snow the majority of the media who don't need the Bidens anymore. They're going to hammer her. And the fact that she could not anticipate that blows me away. We come back to Rebecca Heinrichs on What's It Stakes in the Middle East?

Don't move. He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Kilmeade. There are a lot of details to work out, but what I mean is, I think we're making progress. We'll get to a point where we could potentially sit down and settle these issues, but that requires us to make a little bit more progress.

I can't guarantee that we're going to get there, but right now I feel pretty good about it. And as the vice president yesterday at a commencement address for Air Force Academy, with us right now, is Rebecca Heinrich, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute, just back from Ukraine. But what was harder is getting here from Washington. That's right. Right?

Because of fire at Penn Station, it backed up all trains coming from the south. Right. So they just told you: trains are canceled, can't get in. Right. I showed up.

5:30 a.m. this morning. They told me to find another way to New York. And you did? I did.

Got the last seat on a Delta flight. All right, so we appreciate it.

So, this is what we know: U.S. blockade gets lifted. Iran is allowed to sell oil freely. Iran agrees not to pursue a nuclear weapon. Talks begin on uranium disposal and enrichment.

U.S. to discuss sanctions relief and frozen funds, humanitarian aid, and Don't let Israel hit Hezbollah anymore in Lebanon. What do you think?

Well, a couple of those already crossed President Trump's red lines, so I'm still really skeptical.

So President Trump's been very clear that Israel obviously has a right to defend itself.

So as long as Hezbollah keeps firing at Israel, Israel is going to have a right to defend itself. The other thing, too, I talked to a senior White House official a few days ago who's told me that there's no way there's going to be any lifting of U.S. blockade or removal of U.S. forces until there is demonstrated Iranian behavior that lets the strait open. And so far, to my knowledge, the Iranians want the condition of the blockade lifted first before they say that they're not going to fire on ships in the strait.

So I'm still very skeptical that we've got Iranians operating in good faith. I understand the administration's goal is to get that straight open as soon as possible to get energy prices down, but I remain skeptical. They also want, does President Trump, them Saudi Arabia, anybody who has not joined, Bahrain, UAE has already joined, anyone not in the Abraham Accords to join? How do you feel about that?

Well, look, Saudis have said no, not until a power. Palestinian state is formed, really? Yeah. I mean, look, the Gulf states are the reason that the United States is being restrained in Project Freedom. Remember, like Project Freedom was this great mission, I thought.

Rubio explained it really well. The chairman of the joint staff explained it really well. Heg Seth explained it really well. Purely defensive operation, take out IRGC militia in the strait that are shooting on any ships. We've got over a thousand ships still trapped in the strait.

And so this idea was purely defensive operation to open up the strait forcibly. And it was the Gulf states that said, don't do that, because if you do that, the Iranians are going to retaliate against critical infrastructure in our countries. And so President Trump wants this coalition with the Gulf states.

So he put the brakes on Project Freedom.

So I think he's totally right to say, look, you know, we're going to go a different way to try negotiations again. But at the very least, all these Gulf states that have seen how bad the Iranians are, they owe us this: normalization with Israel. Get with the program. With not funding the proxies and limiting ballistic missiles. That is not a part of the memorandum of understanding.

We assume it's going to be in the 60-day negotiation, but you can't tell Israel, don't bomb, no more fighting in Lebanon, but at the same time, allow Iran to go fund and prop up Hezbollah again. That's right. I mean, remember. They would never agree to that. No, no.

And remember, you know, Iran is still, it has not renounced its support for these Shia militia groups outside of its borders. And Iran funds, as you said, Brian, funds, trains, and supports Hezbollah. And so it cannot make a condition that the Israelis cannot defend themselves against its main proxy group. Right. So.

Militarily. Do you think I think the military would love to be able to finish the job? Is that what you're getting? Yeah, my understanding is: you know, I keep hearing people say, look, Rebecca, there are limits to what our military can achieve. I mean, of course, in theory, that's true.

But President Trump's initiation of Epic Fury demonstrated overwhelming military competency. I mean, we have the Iranians totally, completely vulnerable right now. We know that there are Iranian surface-to-air missiles, surface-to-ship missiles all along the coastline in the Strait of Hormuz. We know that they have this ability to launch these fast boats against these ships. Our military can take those out.

We have drone defense on some of our ships, and we have the ability to offensively go after these fast boats. Through warthogs. Yeah. So I'm totally in favor, at the very least, along the coastline. We've got to get rid of these IRGC militia because even if there's some kind of deal, what I don't like is the optics and the substance of the Iranians actually giving us permission to operate in the strait.

That can never happen because it's a bad precedent for the All international waters around the world. Here's General Jack Keene on what he guarantees. Cut 9. We know they're going to cheat. Look at this.

Just this week alone, with the violation of the ceasefire and the straits of Amuz, who's doing that? The Iranians are doing that. And we had to react to it. Look what they've done in Lebanon. The ceasefire began on April the 8th.

And since April the 8th, less than two months, they have fired rockets and missiles into Northern Israel over 900 times. 1,200 plus drones have been fired into Northern Israel, all since April the 8th. And that is under the guise of a ceasefire. And the Israelis are in a defensive crouch because they're abiding by the terms of the deal, which is they can only conduct defensive operations. I point this out because it reminds us who we really are dealing with here.

You don't need a reminder, Rebecca. But I think the rest of the world understands without dealing with an equal partner that could be trusted. One thing is consistent. They never have been able to be trusted. That's right.

And I hear a lot of people say: look, you know, wars end in negotiations and diplomacy, but only after one side has its will broken and is no longer willing to fight. And the Iranians are still willing to fight, even though the United States has completely taken out their proper Navy. The IRGC still has these fast boats in the Strait. We've taken out their Air Force. We've taken out a significant ability of them to produce missiles, their defense industrial capacity, their steel industry, their plastic industry.

And now we're sitting there and they're still terrorizing the Strait of Hormuz because their will is not broken. You still see Iranian politicians on X being very provocative, mocking the United States. And so until the United States can compel the Iranians to say, look, you've lost. And now we dictate terms, you do not dictate terms. I think this thing is still going to be a major problem.

So you were over in Ukraine. Um And you were there for how many days? seven days in country and one day in Moldova.

So I want you to Senator Richard Blumenthal said some positive things, Cut 17. Let me just dispel a couple of myths. America is not leaving Ukraine. Our diplomats are here to stay. We're Standing behind Ukraine, as we have done from the outset.

We will not be cowed by Russian threats. or bullying. We're not scared and neither should the people of Ukraine. be cowed in any way by this kind of bullying.

So they need patriots right now, President Zelensky said. They're doing good drone to drone. What did you find when you were there? Yeah, a couple of things. One, the amazing resilience of Ukrainian people.

I mean, I met with political leaders, military leaders, civil society leaders, spent over an hour with President Zelensky and an hour with the First Lady. But really, the remarkable people who I met were just sort of the everyday Ukrainians, elderly ladies of Ukraine, going into these community centers and making camouflage netting for Ukrainian troops. Very pro-U.S., pro-freedom, incredible people. Yeah, the big takeaway for me is the Ukrainians are not asking for much of the United States at this point. They have got drone production capacity.

They've got more to teach us than we can give on drone fighting. But they do need patriots, and the United States is the only one that can produce these things. And they need them because the Russians are firing missiles. And the Ukrainian people need to have the confidence that they can be protected so that they can go to work and send their kids to school. And that's why they need American patriots.

Right. Do you think they'll be able to get them? They should. I mean, so far. Production's a problem.

Production is a problem only if the United States doesn't make it a priority.

So the United States has the ability to produce the necessary patriots as long as we don't do stupid things like say, look, you know, we need these for a future potential conflict with China. In theory, I get that. We've got a war right now with an ally right now. The other important point, Brian, is that the Ukrainians, when they use the patriot systems, they learn how to adapt them.

So then we learn how to adapt them.

So then the patriots that we are iterating are even better than they were before we sent them. And the Russians, you say, look at this as a fight against the U.S. Oh, totally.

So the other thing I learned in Ukraine is hearing all of these briefings is that the Russians view Ukraine as a pro-West, pro-democracy nation that stands in the way of the Russians' ability to push the United States out of Europe and break up NATO.

So ultimately, the Russians fear the United States. They don't really take the Europeans seriously. They see Ukraine as standing in the way of their biggest adversary, which is the United States. Poland understands that, right? The Baltics understand that.

And then yesterday, Romania's apartment building got hit by a Russian drone in Romania. That is a NATO ally. What should our response be?

Well, more than just a sort of bland denunciation. I mean, the United States should clearly say that it was Russia that acted aggressively against Romania, that we defend Romanian territory. Remember, the Romanians are very pro-U.S., too. Romanians have been great, even on Epic Fury. They've been one of the countries that have said, hey, whatever you need, we want to be able to help and provide help.

And so I think that the United States needs to stop trying to be like the mediator, sort of the middle person here, and needs to clearly be on the side of Ukraine, needs to bolster NATO's front, which is, you know, if we want to shift some troops from Germany, don't bring them out of Europe. Shift them to Romania and to Poland and the Baltic nations. That's a great place for them to be. And it can still encourage our European allies to step up as well. I know.

I think they got the message. I mean, Sweden and Norway, Finland, I get it. They get it. Poland gets it. The Baltic nations, the best they can, but they're tiny.

Yep. Understood. You know, who still doesn't get it is France, and England's playing like under 2%. And what did they show us? They had three ships?

Yeah, they have got major domestic problems. They got to invest in defense, absolutely. The one country we have not mentioned, though, is Germany's actually really stepping up. I was really surprised when we were in Ukraine to see the economic support and aid that the Germans are stepping up and providing. It's the wealthiest European country they should.

But the Germans, I mean, under Chancellor Mertz, I mean, he's no Anglomerkel. I mean, he really is investing in German defense industry. And so he really is headed in the right direction. That's good because I know that there's a bit of a fracture. I am shocked.

After the initial surge, and the president does things different: taking out the Ayatollah, wiping out 40, ultimately 60, maybe 80 of their leaders. They said our allies were upset.

Okay. They were upset. They said we should have been read in. Understood, but we wanted the element of surprise. You could debate that at the military level and at some war college.

But since then, they've done nothing. Meeting without us. How are they going to open up the strait? When the conflict's done. I mean, that is really, that is really.

uh arrogant And I don't think realistic. Do you really want to ally the person who's been your back, the country that's been your backstop for the last 60 years? Right. So the United States is the leader of NATO. I'm a big proponent, as I know you are, Brian, of making NATO stronger.

The United States needs these countries. We're still operating out of Germany, out of England now, somewhat out of France, a little bit out of Italy for Epic Fury. That's how we project power into the Middle East, from these European bases. And I do think if you talk to these European leaders, they'll say, look, nobody cares. Everyone's glad the Ayatollah is gone.

We know that Iran posed a major threat to Europe, but they still have these political problems with the United States.

So my recommendation is. I wish that the United States would focus our diplomacy on the Europeans and the Gulf states and not with the Iranians right now and get a coalition of the willing to open up the Strait of Hormuz and get something in place. Because if you bring the Europeans on board, one nation individually doesn't have enough firepower, but collectively they do and they can help us. They would. And they also had snapback sanctions.

They decided to put the snapback sanctions on.

So we're not alerting them to a problem. They acknowledge that problem. They do.

So we'll see what happens. Lastly, the President's still going to go to the G seven, still going to go to the NATO conference. At which time, what do you think the posture will be against him? Be aggressive like the Canadian leader? Or do you think they'll understand Like the General Secretary, that the U.S.

has to be dealt with respectfully. Yeah, I think it's the latter. I mean, look, I think interests ultimately prevail in the end. And as frustrating and as angry as you can get on some of the different things that the United States has done, you know, all of these European countries know that they cannot replace what the United States brings to the protection of the free world, the West, of which they're still included. They can't replace it, not in the near future, not in my lifetime.

And so they know, I think Secretary General Rute is really the leader to follow here. He gets it. And that is my hope that the countries follow his lead. All right, Rebecca. Thanks so much.

I hope the country follows your lead too. Anyone who has to go to New York from D.C. Because you were dexterious enough to have another mode of transportation and you didn't want to drive, correct? That's right. Didn't want to drive.

Absolutely. Rebecca Heinrich, thanks so much. Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute. Back in a moment. Where Big stories meet bigger conversations.

Stay informed and energized with the Brian Killmeat Show. Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Did you ever see signs that he was falling into cognitive decline? No.

People were saying he wasn't the same Joe Biden. What? I don't think that's true. He was the essence of the same Joe Biden, but yeah, he was slowing down. He was getting older.

I mean, we all observe that. When you you know, it's a very intense job. I think it ages you um quickly. Come on, give me a break. Ages you quickly, slowing down.

He couldn't do the job. He wasn't slowing down. He couldn't do the job. And that's the story that still has to yet come out. And it's obviously: do not buy her book.

The last thing you want is for Jill Biden to become a bestseller while she just makes up stuff and people aren't even buying it. I hope like nine people buy this book. Because name a Democrat that wants to hear Jill Biden's story. Jill Biden, an inconsequential first lady, unless, of course, she was running the entire country. Does anyone vote for Jill Biden or would have voted for her?

Are you kidding? Here are some of the other Democrats and what they said Cut 31. Other people did see him act like that in the months before and in the months after that, and those moments became increasingly hard to predict. And I just wonder if that's not something that the Democrats are not going to have to deal with for the next two years, or at least that may come up. Conversations should be had about the.

Deceptiveness that was behind this. Like, that's the conversation that I think ought to be had. The Joe Biden was not going to be a credible candidate for president because of his age and declining health. Okay. He shouldn't have been president.

And if he said that when he was president or even leaked it out to anonymous sources, it would have certainly been helpful. And by the way, it would have helped your own party. But what happened is, and I'm sure this is going to be written.

So Joe Biden thinks he's a one-term president. He said I'm a transitional figure. And it was just understood that he'd be four and done. But at the midterm elections, basically due to Roe v. Wade, that decision, it was supposed to be a red wave.

But after Roe v. Wade, so many women were motivated because they thought that their abortion was at, you know, even though abortion's gone up since Roe v. Wade was overturned, since abortion was on the ballot, they were motivated. And therefore, the House barely went. To Republicans in the Senate state.

So What happened? Joe Biden says, I'm popular. I passed three pieces of major legislation, did bipartisan gun reform, did infrastructure deal, got some buy-in from Republicans. And then I did my ridiculous new green deal. I'm popular.

Look, I'm staying. And nobody pushed him out. Nobody said, but Joe, you're not good. You're not making any sense. I mean, I've seen you, I've talked to you.

You know, you nodded off while we're talking. You know that you can't even have meetings. You know, these only cabinet meetings. The last one was led by your wife. You can't do that.

Instead, they just said, go for it. Everyone's afraid to say it.

So then everything fell apart in 2024 because they did well in 2022. And it paved the way for President Trump just to play it beautifully and becomes president, and now he's doing consequential things. The things I will not tolerate is people saying that Donald Trump is slipping. Yeah, there are times when he nods off, maybe. I don't know if he did the other day.

But it makes total sense to me. Because I do it. I don't have cognitive problems. What happens is when you sleep four and a four and a half hours, if you're in a hot location or sitting down too long, that happens. President sits down in these cabinet meetings, or has to sit down to these other things in situations, you're not off.

What he could do is get eight hours sleep. There'll be zero problems. From high atop. Fox News headquarters in New York City. Always seeking solutions, never sowing division.

It's Brian Kilmead. All right, from 48th and 6th of Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, around the world. It's going to be a big hour coming your way. Go to our YouTube channel at any time, by the way. Get the whole show, portions of the show, and other things I'm doing throughout the channel.

YouTube.com/slash at the Brian Kilmead show. And don't forget, One Nation Sunday at 10 o'clock. We've got a great lineup starting with Harvey Levins going to bring us inside this Los Angeles race for mayor and the California race for governor. And he sees it up close and personal and how Hollywood is going with. Uh Spencer Pratt.

But they're not saying it publicly. And the one guy against them, of course, is Jimmy Kimmel. Why wouldn't he? He's against everything that's not left wing and radical. Tommy Laron is warming up to come in to come on with us.

He's going to be co host of the big weekend show, goes six hours over the weekend. And Sid Rosenberg, host of Sidden Friends in the Morning on seventy seven WABC, is going to weigh in on many things, including the mayor's decision First time ever. A mayor of New York City not to march in the Israeli parade on Sunday.

So let's get to the big three. Number three. Because I had never seen Joe like that. Before Never seen it. Never.

I don't know what happened. I mean, as I watched it, I thought, oh my God, he's having a stroke. Yeah, too bad, First Lady. Then he quickly went to the Waffle House. Biden's back, and there's not a Democrat who is happy about it except Jill, because she has a book to sell.

Number two. What I've learned is I actually don't want celebrities to come out and endorse me. I don't want anybody to endorse me except for the moms and the animal lovers in LA. That's my entire vote. Yeah.

Because that's. Backstretch for California. Will it give an upset-minded Republican a chance? Steve Hilton, does he have a chance? Spencer Pratt, does he have a chance?

We'll talk about it. Number one. The thing that got our attention and alarmed us is how they recommitted to all of their original goals. My point is it's unlikely that they're going to change. No matter what deal we put together, at the end of it, they're going to want to recover everything that they're losing.

And right now, they're a meeting in the Oval Office about should they take these deal points on a memorandum of understanding and negotiate for the next 60 days. Dallas General Jack Keene with me this morning. I don't believe one word they say ever, and nobody else does either. I think this is a delay of game. And I think ideally, we'll get everything paused, open up the straight.

And then blow them away after the midterms. Tommy Laron joins us now. Hey, Tommy. Great to talk to you, Brian. And I'm so happy that we're talking about LA.

We're talking about all the big stuff. You know, I'm very, very interested in, especially that mayoral race in LA, only a few days away now.

So very excited to get to talk to you about that.

So I'm looking at the, I guess, the latest poll. And it looks like Spencer Pratt, if I'm going to believe this poll, is in very close third. But I don't really believe the poll. In fact, he says don't believe any of it. He says he thinks he's going to get over 50% because that's the type of response he's getting.

But people are afraid to speak up.

So this Berkeley poll has Bass with 26, Rahman with 25, and Pratt with 22. Used to live out there. What do you think?

I think that the polls are definitely underperforming for Spencer Pratt for exactly the reason that you outlined. There are a lot of people in Los Angeles who might not even be conservative minded, but they're so afraid of being labeled a conservative because they support somebody who happens to be a Republican but is also not running as a Republican that they don't want to answer accurately in the polls.

So I think he's definitely underperforming the reality in the polls. I think there are a lot of folks in Los Angeles who not only had their minds completely changed with the Palisades fires and all of that, but also just folks that are realizing that those homeless encampments, they're not just staying on Skid Row. And Skid Row is awful. It's horrible. There's animal abuse, drug use.

It's despicable. But those encampments, anybody who's been to LA, especially in the last five or six years, knows that those encampments are pretty much everywhere. And even the folks there that have big money, Hollywood money, you know, they live in the life of luxury, it's starting to impact. Their quality of life, and I don't know how they could possibly vote for either the current mayor, Karen Bass, or somebody who sits on the city council, Mithya Rahman. It just defies logic to vote for either of those two.

So, I talked to the president last week and I asked him about Spencer Pratt. He said, Well, what do you think? And I told him what I thought, and I thought it was very impressive. He's very comfortable with who he is. And he did his homework in order to have an opinion on the issues that matter most.

And he said, The problem is voting and the voter integrity there.

So, here's what Spencer Pratt said on Fox and Friends to me on that Cut 21. We will definitely win if everyone who's as angry as me in Los Angeles just goes and votes and they don't just share things on social media or tell their friend they're angry. They physically go vote. They don't have to wait till June 2nd. A lot of people are concerned about elections and you've got to vote in person.

No, you vote today. You put it in the mailbox. You drop it in the ballot box. We win with the most votes. And a lot of people, again, in California are concerned about, oh, election fraud.

We can always outvote cheating. Period. And we can do that. literally in the next five days with just moms alone and animal lovers because I'm also going to stop the abuse of these dogs on the streets and then and these alleged no-kill shelters that are killing thousands of dogs.

So he thinks, you know, that's a great attitude to have, by the way. I'm more for that.

Okay, do what your best you can in election integrity, then deal with what you have. Don't make excuses. Yeah, you know, none of us Conservatives necessarily love California elections and their process, their mailing votes in their drop boxes and all this. I mean, they were the first in the country, I believe, to do it before everybody else started it.

So I hate that. But Spencer understands that in the landscape that he's in, he has to push that and he has to make sure everyone's voting by any way that they prefer to do it.

So he's smart in that. I also want to talk to his point that I think has been an underreported point in mainstream media on the dogs and the animals on Skid Row and the shelter system and this no-kill, all this. I'm very invested in it. I work with a lot of the same people that Spencer does. And the animal abuse, the people feeding drugs to animals to test their drugs, breeding the dogs over and over and over again so they can get 300 bucks from another bum on the street.

It's ridiculous. And the people in power right now, turning a blind eye. A lot, a lot of animal lovers in Los Angeles. I know it seems like a niche issue, but I actually. Think that the animal lovers are going to show out for Spencer Pratt, it could make a big difference.

So I know they're taking him serious when I see Jimmy Kimmel try to rip him. You know, they're rolling out Letterman clips when Spencer Pratt was in his 20s and he was on a reality show. And then Jake Tapper found this. Uh Cut 22 with Alex Jones. Uh what about government sponsored terror?

What about nine eleven? What about governments staging terror attacks? Uh is nine eleven an inside job from your research? Uh not from my research, but from your research it one hundred percent is because uh I can't even believe that it took me seeing your film took Why did that not hit the instant media? Right.

So more of that crap. But that was 2007.

So he was at 2009.

So he was asked about it. And here's what he said, cut 23. The reality is people in charge fail us as taxpayers. And when you're listening to that audio, that's a 21, 22-year-old person. I'm now 42.

Unfortunately, you know, I was young and naive to understanding how there is people that will fail citizens across the board. And I would have to go back and look at all that. I haven't watched any of those things in 20 years or whatever. But I bet now with my fresh eyes of surviving the city's negligence that burned 12 people in my neighborhood alive, 7,000 structures, seeing how fast the internet said that was a conspiracy. And how I had to be like, no, this is how it happened, this, this, and this.

Now with new fresh eyes, I'm sure I would look at that a lot differently.

So, I mean, that's how I know they're taking them seriously, but I have no patience for people who say 9-11 was an inside job. Your thoughts?

Well, here's the deal. Ask Karen Bass what she was doing when she was 21 or 22 years old. I don't think we're going to like the answer to that. I watched the Hills. I watched Spencer Proud on the Hills.

I watched his wife Heidi on the Hills. I'm a millennial. I love that stuff. I still do. But this notion that, well, because he was on a reality show or because he might have said some controversial things when he was on a reality show or in his early 20s has nothing to do with the race he's running.

First of all, he's not running to be president of the United States, where some of those statements would be perhaps a little bit more important. He's running to fix Los Angeles, and he keeps reiterating this over and over again. I'm not running on national politics. What I want to do is I want to clean up the homeless encampments, get the drug addicts off the streets. I want to make your parks safe.

I want to make sure your kids aren't tripping over needles when they do go to the park so that moms can push throwers and feel safe. And I want to make sure that the reservoirs have water so that when inevitably we have another wildfire, we have a way to put it out. That's what he's running on. Like, he's not running on 9-11. He's not running on Iran.

Like, that is his point. And that's why for me, for Los Angeles, it's so important that they listen. Is the look around candidate? Look around. If you don't like the way things are looking and how much you're paying for it, you're going to have to vote new.

And your option is Spencer Pratt because the other two, they're currently involved in destroying your city. I just hope he wins, and we saw the trend of practical people running and trying to win in major cities because Republicans have basically thrown up their hands and said, I have no shot. That could change things. I want you to hear Jimmy Kimmel going after him yesterday, Cut 27. The difference between Donald Trump and this guy is: Donald Trump actually had a job before he was on a reality trip.

This hole now has given birth. To Spencer Pratt, who is running for mayor, another narcissist looking for attention. And I just, are we really gonna risk repeating that mistake we made with Trump in LA of all places? Mayor should not be your first job.

So he's desperate, yet he goes to work every day on Hollywood Boulevard. He sees the decline before his eyes. That's one of the worst things that could happen to get a star on that Hollywood Boulevard because he's going to be mocked and defaced on a daily basis. He watched the movie industry leave. This guy just wants to come in.

and change things. Uh and fix things. Why do you think that Jimmy Kimmel takes offense to that?

Well, because Jimmy Kimmel well, there's a lot of reasons why Jimmy Kimmel is going to he's going to take offense to anything that is remotely common sense in any way, shape or form related to conservative principles and ideas. But I would also say, I don't recall, Brian, did Jimmy Kimmel have the same analysis of Mayor Zolron Mondani? Because to my knowledge, Zoran Mondani has never had a real job before he was mayor of New York City, the financial capital of the world.

So I wonder if Jimmy Kimmel was also making that same assessment with Momdani. I didn't hear it. Maybe you did, Brian. But, you know, if not, it's a little rich that you're criticizing Spencer Pratt, who, by the way, graduated from USD with a political science degree, is very intelligent and has clearly done his research on the issues that matter to Los Angeles. And that's what this race should be about.

I love that comparison, by the way, because he had one summer camp job as an inconsequential Congress state state assemblyman, and then he gets this job as mayor.

So the market's now at 51,000 plus, at up 415 points. And it looks like Donald Trump has said. in a meeting in a situation room that he's going to lift our blockade. And they're going to lift their blockade of the strait. And I assume not the toll has got to go.

We're starting to get information, but the market's responding positively, and oil is already at $88 a barrel.

So there's going to be, I know you're going to be talking about this for six hours over the weekend, but. But your thoughts about how this How is this coming to fray? And for people who don't know, there's A mutual lifting of the blockades. Iran agrees not to pursue a nuclear weapon. Talks begin on uranium disposal.

The U.S. to discuss sanctions relief. And frozen funds and discuss humanitarian aid and goods for Iran, and Israel and Hezbollah stopped fighting.

So there's a lot of questions there. But your thoughts. Yeah, a lot of questions. All of that sounds good, and I'm always praying for that, and I'm hopeful, and I'm optimistic. I know this president's not going to enter into a bad deal, but can we trust Iran?

I feel like we've been down this road before.

So I think if there's anybody who understands that, it's President Trump. But again, we're going to be talking about this all weekend on big weekend show. All of this sounds good. I know the president's obviously facing some pressure due to the gas prices here and some of the discomfort that comes along with that. But I have faith that he's going to do what's right in the long term.

That's what he's been saying over and over. He's not looking at the midterms. He's looking at national security and he's looking at the hopes of the world.

So I'm optimistic, but the follow-through is where things get a little sticky on that end. Tommy Lahren, thanks so much. You're doing a great job over the weekend. Also, check out her show. She's host of Outkicks.

Tommy Lahren is Fearless and a Fox News contributor. You can listen to her and watch her on the big weekend show from Five Days, Saturdays and Sundays. Tommy, thanks so much. Great to see you. Almost.

Thanks, Brian. And I'll see you on our shared weekend night. Absolutely. Sunday night at 10 o'clock, One Nation, Tommy's second favorite show. Back in a moment.

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. From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmead. She thought he was having a stroke. It's inexplicable as a wife why you wouldn't have the whole thing right then and go straight to a hospital.

What's your take on what she's saying now? Frankly, my take is that as I've gone up and down the state of Delaware in the last couple of days, nobody's asked me about Joe Biden's debate performance in 2024. They've asked me about the rising price of gas. They've asked me about Trump's tariffs. They've asked me about insecurity and instability because of an unresolved war in Iran that is not going well.

As someone who cares for President Biden, I too was concerned about what that. Several second pause meant what was happening at the moment. But I was with President Biden earlier today, and he's fine. I see regular incidents where President Trump falls asleep in meetings in the middle of the day. This is so sickening to me.

Because this is Senator Chris Coons, who is labeled as a moderate, and I fall into that trap too sometimes. He covered up more than anybody else outside the family for his failure because nobody saw more of Joe Biden than the guy that replaced him in the Senate than Chris Coons. And he had would push back on everybody that said he's not ready to run. He, of course, can do four more years. Of course, he's doing a great job.

Of course, he's tapped in. Of course, he's sharp.

So he lied. And then when it went over the edge, he said, well, when he clearly fell apart at the debate and he decided to bail out, then he said, okay, it's time to move on. And now he's saying, why are you bringing this up? Hey, Senator, I agree with you. If Martha McCallum or Brian Kilmead brought up out of nowhere Joe Biden's failures in the debate, you have every right to say, what are you talking about?

But it's the first former first lady that came out and is again skewing history we all live through that even CNN is now free to report because they were too hostage to their ideology to be honest and care. Alex Thompson writes this book with Jake Tapper. And that's why. And then people book you to say: wait a second, what are you going to say about him now? And Donald Trump, yeah, when you sleep four hours a day, sometimes you sit down too long, you're not off.

You know how I know that? Because I do it. I get on a train sometimes at three o'clock. You could say you don't agree with me. Not many people say I have cognitive failure.

Okay, nobody says that. You might say I never had cognitive success. You could say whatever. Whatever I am now, I was 10 years ago, 20 years ago. I tell you, I know he's 80.

But Donald Trump works twenty hours a day, does not like to sleep, is up at six in the morning. I know directly he's up at six in the morning before Fox and Friends, talk to him sometimes in the middle of the show. And you also know that he calls people at 2 in the morning. I talked to the Secretary of Interior. He said it's not unusual to get a call at 2 in the morning.

So sometimes at 3 o'clock in the afternoon or 12 o'clock, you're in an hour meeting. It might not off. Yeah. Doesn't mean you're failing. It means maybe you need more sleep.

But it doesn't mean you're failing. And the reason why I know that It's because I have never ever and we never will again. Have a president more accessible to more people? How many times does Axio say we found out directly? How many times does Kristen Welker of Meet the Press say, I just talked to the president, here's who he reported?

How many times did Jonathan Carl say that? Do you think ABC has been good to President Trump? He sued them. Do you think NBC has been good to President Trump? I think Kristen Welker's been reasonably fair, I really do.

I think John LeCarl does a good job too, but I really think that Connie doesn't like Trump, doesn't think he should be president, just my view. But he still calls him. He's interacting with him. If this guy was failing, losing his train of thought, doing things unusual that he wasn't doing 20 years ago, they'd be reporting exclusively. But instead, they enjoy access and therefore their viewers and listeners get more access.

At some point, you'll give him credit, but Chris Coons, nice try, another fail. A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Yeah. Hey, we are back, and let me just read you this Truth Social post from President Trump.

Iran must agree that they will never have a nuclear weapon or bomb. The Strait of Hermuz must immediately open no tolls for unrestricted shipping traffic. This is 43 minutes ago in both directions. All water mine bombs, if any, will be terminated. We have removed through detonation numerous such mines and our great underwater mine sweepers.

Iran will complete the immediate removal and or detonation of any mines, which will not be many. Ships caught in the strait due to our amazing and unprecedented Oh my god, is this long? There should be restrictions. Ships called the straight dude.

So he basically says. No money will be exchanged until further notice. Other items is far less important have agreed to. I will be meeting now in the situation room to make final determinations. Thank for your attention to this matter.

So they're meeting right now. Sid Rosenberg joins me now, great friend of President Trump, host of Sidden Friends, great friend of mine. And he hosts the number one show in the morning in New York City, the number one city, until the mayor finishes it off, 77WABC. Sid Rosenberg. Sid, welcome back.

I am thrilled to be here. It's great to see you. It look very, very nice today. And you and I are, actually, to be honest, you and I are even closer than me and Trump. And that's saying a lot.

Really? A lot. No, I got to say that. Yeah, I do have to say it. But who has more power in the country?

Than you? No, than Trump. I mean, I have to give it to him on that. Oh, he's got the most power in the world. Right.

In the world. But I got to tell you, we did not choose social, which is like, it's about the length of the Iliad of the Odyssey. He didn't really say anything that we haven't heard before. Maybe the tolls back and forth, that's kind of new. But look, it's the same three things that we want from Iran.

They are not going to comply. I can promise you that on at least two of them.

So the question is, how long do we kick the soccer ball down the road before we end this thing in some fashion? And Sid is actually referring to the fact that in the break, we're going to do what we're going to do in this break too, we were kicking the ball around. I'm getting you World Cup crazy. Yes, you are. And you're such a sports guy, you'll adapt to this quick and understand the trends and have your favorite guy.

And I told you, there's a two-part series on HBO Max. They'll give you a fundamentals of the team, where they've been, the disappointment. But yet, I forgot they tied England last year. The number two team of the world. Yes, they did 1-1, I believe, right?

Yes. And they outplayed him. And I'm not really a big soccer guy. I'm not a soccer guy at all, at all. But I know you love it.

And during the World Cup, because I'm a great patriot, any opportunity to win for America, I do it.

So I've been all over it this week. And don't forget, one of my best friends, like you, is Andrew Giuliani. He's the point man for President Trump for FIFA. He comes on my show once every two or three weeks. We broke down even some of the players on this 26-man team.

I'm ready to rock. He's doing a great job. He really is. He's organizing the whole country. And we have we have eight games right in our neighborhood.

There's games in Kansas and there's games in Miami and games in Dallas. But I want to bring you to something more apropos. News. and sports.

So Jackson Dart did this with you in attendance and A couple weeks ago. I gotta start this off with a Go Big Blue. I'd love it if y'all would follow with me. Go Big Blue. Go big blue.

Go big blue. Go big blue. Without further ado. I'm grateful, I'm honored, I'm pleasured to Introduce the 45th and 47th President of the United States of America, President Donald J. Trump.

So the crowd went crazy, and here's what Trump said after.

Well first of all I wish I looked just like Jackson. There's this guy I said, is he a male model or what? He's a handsome guy, like a beautiful guy and you know conservative guy. He said I love you sir. And I didn't know he was doing that, you know, but he's potentially a great quarterback.

He's a young boy. He had just really started. But when he's in a game, he moves the team. When Jackson gets uh Harassed a little bit. He's also loved more because we have more people than they do.

Because he likes Trump. If you look at his post, he likes Trump. Sid, you were there. He called you up and he had you talk. Did you think to yourself this is going to be a problem when Dard interrupted, introduced President Trump?

I knew right away. It was a week ago today, Mike Lauder's event in the Hudson Valley, Rockland County, New York. I knew right away. I said, oh my God, they're going to make a big deal about this. And they did.

It was predictable. But, you know, my friend Jason Whitlock, he does a really good podcast. He said it best. He said, wait a second, wait a second. Lawrence Taylor, he went out there for President Trump.

Nobody said a word. L'éon Bell, he was out there for President Trump. But the white quarterback, the white quarterback out of Ole Miss, that becomes a big issue. And let me say this: the guy on the Giants who's got the big mouth, and I'm a Giant man, I hosted the Giants pregame show on WFAN here in New York for four years. I'm close with the Giants, Abdul Carter.

They took him in the first round two years ago out of Penn State. He did nothing for the football team last year, nothing. Didn't make one big play. He opened his mouth all week long about this.

So when the team had a meeting on Wednesday when Harbaugh and other players spoke to try to fix it, and the big problem was Abdul Carter, he did not even show up to the The meeting gave some kakamami excuse about some holiday in his family. Abdul Carter, you should be ashamed of yourself. But I just, I can't believe the sentiment exists. I thought in 2016, 2017, I know Belichick got some blowback and Brady got some blowback, got it. But now we're in 2020.

Six, and we're watching the team show up at the White House again. We see Saquon Barkley hanging out with the president. Saquon Barkley hung out, but don't forget the Eagles, okay, their quarterback Jalen Hurts, he didn't go.

So you're seeing teams go to the White House, Brian, but they don't all go. Most of the time, it's about half the team.

Well, I know, but sometimes there's legitimate excuses. No, there's not.

So Kevin explains. It's the president of the United States. You've got to be there. Come on.

Well, Brady didn't show up when the Patriots won. He did have a legitimate.

So Kayveon Thibodeau pulled Giants quarterback Jackson Darr to the side to have a conversation about his introduction to Trump. Thibodeau reportedly broke down emotionally during the conversation. This is a president that got more of the African-American vote than any, more than Romney, more than Bush, more than McCain, more than any other Republican president, more than Reagan.

So this guy's, Thibodeau is crying, they're saying he was crying, yeah. And look, you know, the proof is in the pudding in terms of. Athletes that still love this guy besides Jackson Dart. The New York Knicks, we're in New York City, folks. We're about 10 blocks away from the house that Walt Clyde Frazier built, or Patrick Ewing, whatever you want.

We're about to play the NBA Finals. We'll find out tomorrow if it's San Antonio, Oklahoma City, likely Oklahoma City. It all starts Wednesday night. But their two biggest stars, Jalen Brunson and Towns. Carl Anthony Towns, their two biggest stars.

They were the ones this week. They were the ones who actually came up with the idea with the rest of the team: hey, let's have President Trump at our game. And now President Trump has said, I'm probably going to come. That was not some white journalist. It wasn't some Democrat.

It wasn't some, it was Jalen Brunson and Carl Anthony Towns who said, we want the president here. I did not, seriously, I had no idea. Yeah. I thought you were going to say the opposite because we know Jim Dolan likes President. Oh, he loves Jim Dolan, too.

Trump loves him. You know what the president said? Uh Madison Square Garden stays at Penn Station. Do you know what they were saying before that? We're going to pull that out of Penn Station and redo it.

So that's another thing.

So that bothers me a lot.

So I want everyone listening right now, black, white, and in between, to a certain introduction to the greatest giant ever, the greatest linebacker ever, and someone worshiped by everyone that plays the sport and watches Lawrence Taylor introducing President Trump. I just want to say. I grew up a Democrat and I've always been a Democrat until I met this man right here. Uh He will not have to worry about Nobody in my family ever Vote for a Democrat again.

Okay. Yeah. How great was that?

Now, that was at Wildwood. If you folks that forgot, 150,000 strong showed up in New Jersey that day, and it wasn't just Lawrence. It was freezing, too, wasn't it? No, it was a nice day that day, I believe. It wasn't just Lawrence.

Sounds with him. It does sound better. It was the Super Bowl 25 MVP when the Giants beat the Bills. Otis, don't call me O.J. Anderson.

Right next to him. Right next to him. So you had Taylor and Anderson out there in Wildwood, New Jersey for the president, and everybody loved it. Do you remind me? Is O.J.

Anderson black and is Lawrence Taylor black? Last I checked, they're even darker than me. Right. And by the way, if you haven't seen Sid, you should watch on the feed. Sid's tan.

Right? That's all. And by the way, so this is what I hope is: remember Drew Brees cried? Yes, I did. Daniel Powell, because he said, I'm not going to kneel during the national anthem.

Yes. I'm not going to disrespect or said and kneel. And then he cried and apologized, which was insane.

Well, his teammates made him do it. He said, my grandfather fought in the war. I'm not going to apologize. But his teammates made him do it.

So I just. Cope Jackson Dart didn't apologize. Me too. Because he's got to lead this team. I agree.

And by the way, who I voted for, I'm going to throw people that voted for Kyamo Harris if you're open. And I'm going to give it to the ball. If you're a running back and you can get some yards, I don't care if you vote for Bernie Sanders. Right. I'm astounded.

It caught me totally by surprise, but you said you knew about it in the audience. I knew right away. And Abdul Carter, my guess is. By the way, the Giants said do it. The Giants said do it.

Of course they did. The White House and President Trump, I believe, got permission from the Giants first. They're the ones who contacted Jackson Dart. It was the Giants. It wasn't Mike Lawler or Rockland County.

It was President Trump and the White House, and he got permission.

So, a couple of things come to mind. By the way, I guess I say a couple of things a lot. Pete, have you pointed that out before? I guess. Evidently they found I have a little bit of a trend of saying that.

So, a couple of things come to mind. And he said again. I know. By the way, it seems unmatched. And by the way, it seems kind of natural to think this.

Is that if you look at LeBron James? He introduced Hillary Clinton. He had a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton, Stefan Curry. How many black players and white players love Barack Obama? I don't think anything about that.

It's President of the United States. Elvis went to visit Richard Nixon. He did do that, yes. No, I know it's gotten to the point where it's silly, but just so you folks know, this is another example of Trump derangement syndrome. It's a real disease, it's a real illness, there's no cure, and unfortunately, it's alive and well in America today.

And I just have this: I'm not going to speak for the coach. I know John Harbaugh. Really likes Trump. And do you know when he was available, Trump put on Truth Social? The Giants go hire this guy.

So, If he likes Donald Trump, is he going to alienate the locker room? No. If Harbaugh goes to the White House?

Well, if they win, he'll go to the White House. Don't forget President Trump had John and his brother Jim, who's the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers right now, the brother combination at the White House together. If the Giants win the Super Bowl, John Harbaugh will be at the White House and people are not going to care. But right now, he hasn't won a game yet for the Giants. They'll take him to task.

All right. By the way, I predict 11 wins. 11? 11 wins. 11 and 6.

That'll make the playoffs. I think... You ready for this? This is going to sound crazy. They've been bad for so many years.

Not just 11 wins. They unseat the Philadelphia Eagles. The Giants win the NFC East. Interesting. And here's what plays to that.

I think the Eagles are going to snap away from snapping. That team is on tender hooks. They are ready to. Their coach is on the edge. Everybody's on the edge.

What about the quarterback? If Saquon starts struggling again like he did last year, they're in trouble. We're going to take a short time out and come back because you're going to the Israeli Day Parade. The police commissioner is the Grand Marshal of the Israeli Day Parade. When we come back, The precedent-setting mayor is not going, we'll talk about it.

Uh The aluminum. Intriguing, inculcating. I know some of these words. It's Brian Kilmead. you A radio show like no other.

It's Brian Killmead. I. I said on the campaign trail that I wouldn't be attending the parade and I've made my views on the Israeli government abundantly clear. And I also said on that same campaign that I would have a responsibility as the mayor of the city to ensure the safety and security of each and every New Yorker. And I don't believe that my presence as the mayor should determine whether or not a New Yorker is safe or secure.

Number one, no one asked you about safety. Number two, just go and do it.

So that is the mayor of New York City not going, foremosting and underlying the fact that most people think he's anti-Semitic. Sid Rosenberg, your thoughts about him not showing up on Sunday. He's a disgrace. He's an anti-Semite. His father is an anti-Semite.

His vile, wretched wife is an anti-Semite. She's disgusting. He's a disgrace, and he can't use Israel or Bibi as an excuse because if this parade was in Tel Aviv, for example, okay, don't go. If it was in Jerusalem, don't go. It's in New York City.

Last I checked, he won this election in New York City. And there may be some Jews, as horrible as it sounds, who actually voted for this clown at this parade on Sunday. It's a New York City event. You're the mayor of New York City. It's not in Haifa.

It's not in Netanya. He should be there on Sunday. But as a proud Jew who marches every year, including this Sunday, I don't want him there. You don't want him there.

So you're kind of glad. Oh, God, he is. But it's not right. It's not right. He should be there.

His excuse is terrible. Again, it's not an Israeli parade. It's a New York parade. But as a proud Jew, I don't want this lying son of a gun there. Right.

So thank you for editing yourself. I did. Because on my radio show, I actually curse. Right, I understand. But it would drive Eric crazy.

It would be a hard way for him to end this week, Eric, right? I mean, you got to be quick.

So, Jamie Diamond was asked about his meeting with Mendami, Cut 49. I think good p the good policy is free. I feel like telling the politicians, don't try to raise more taxes or spend more money. Sit down and fix policy. And I think you can grow 1% faster.

I literally believe that. And the public knows you can't get certificates of occupancy. You can't get roads built. The bridges are the regulation. The Baltimore Bridge was supposed to be built by now.

It's another five. I go on and on and on. You've been talking about this for so long. It's frustrating. It hurts.

It's embarrassing. And it always hurts the civilians of our country.

So I had a great meeting with Madami, meaning it was pleasant. Uh you know, but I said everything I want to say. Read between the lines.

Well, I don't trust Jamie Dimon. He's the same guy that's been saying for weeks and weeks that we're heading towards a recession because of Iran. And I personally listen to guys like Larry Kudlow when it comes to that type of stuff. And I appreciate billionaires like Ken Griffin or John Katsumatidis. Even Bill Ackman annoys me too.

I find him more likable than Jamie Dimon. But reading between the lines, he wants to like Mom Dani. When Mom Dani won, Jamie was the first to kind of send out the a la branch. Way too quick for me. Way too quick the next day.

But, but he is still frustrated. He's still angry.

So he had a wonderful meeting. Everybody says that. Trump says that about Mom Dani. Katsumatidi says that about Mom Dani. Why?

Because in the end, they want it to work out. These billionaires, these millionaires, they deserve to be looked at as inspirational figures, right? Not convicts. I want to be Katsumatidis. I want to be Jamie Dimon.

Instead, this mayor makes him look badly.

So they want it to work out, but you can tell the frustration in Jamie Dimon's voice. How do you say that when Jamie Dimon came in a month ago to Fox and Friends? He uh I don't know if it was here or whether it was um He came into the radio show too. He did say his support a run had to be done.

So I do think that he's like, don't worry about it, hold tight. He was very positive. Maybe it's because the platform he was on, but he was much more positive. He may have been on CNBC. I don't know.

But, you know, me personally, I don't get invited anymore. I used to get invited on the CNNs of the world. I never changed my stance for the audience. I don't care. I like them to love me or hate me.

I'll never change my stance. Right, understood. But why would they invite Arthur Idala? A very similar stance as you? They invite him on to be frictional.

No, he's not a similar stance as me. I mean, Arthur Idala, don't forget he's friendly with Bill de Blasio. You wouldn't catch me dead. And Arthur Idala is one of my best friends. My daughter, Ava, I'm so proud of her.

She works for Arthur Idala. She's going back to take her law degree.

So I love Arthur. Him and Joe Takapina are two of my best friends, but he is much to the left that I am. Much more to the left.

So you consider yourself, who is similar to you? To me, President Trump, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, all the big stars that I enjoy at Fox News, Ingram, Maria, those are the people that are closer to me than Arthur Idala. Arthur Idala will go on CNN and he'll say nice things about Eric Adams and Bill de Blasio. You'll never hear me do that, not in a million years.

So, how do you feel about Governor Cuomo as a now he's out? He's being very critical of Joe Biden now. How do you feel he would have been a better choice? I don't know. To be honest, Andrew Cuomo destroyed this state.

When I see him, I'm nice to him. You know, he was on my show quite a bit. If you remember, Curtis Sliver dropped me like a bad habit, calls me a backstabber and a sellout because I started bringing Cuomo on because I wanted Cuomo rather than Mom Dani. Not because Cuomo was good. He destroyed this state and was still paying the price.

And the nuclear, we have no nuclear energy. Our utility bills are the same. Zero, zero. And then the ridiculous green policies he put us to. Even Governor Hokul can't have that.

And bail reform, he did that, and all of the congestion pricing was his idea as well.

So he destroyed the state. I'm not sure it'd be any better, but at this point, anybody better than Mom Dani.

So don't forget, check out Westbury Music Fair. We're going to have history at the Uniting the States tour will be there. Sid's going to be there reenacting skits. Go to BrianKilme.com. And Sunday at 10 p.m., amongst my great roster of guests, Sid Rosenberg on One Nation on Fox.
