So glad you're there. This hour I'm going to be joined by Carly Shimpkiss who is coming in and closing the door behind her. I just know how she operates. Don't ask me how. And Dennis Ross at the bottom of the hour.

We had a major press conference with Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. He gave a lot of direct answers who are moving the story forward. That's just it. I mean, he literally opened it up to the world press. And talked, would you say, Carly, for what?

25 minutes, 30? Over a half hour. Yeah, over 30 minutes.

So, and he just answered every question. And essentially, and I'll get to the bottom of it, and we'll go over it with Carly.

So, we have a lot to discuss. President United States also opened up really America 250 yesterday.

So, it was a really good speech, was right to the point. And of course, it ended with YMCA, like the founding fathers thought it would.

So, before we get to Carly, let's get to the big three. Yeah. Number three. I think it matters tremendously for the mentality, the psyche, and most importantly, the momentum for this team that has grabbed a hold of the imagination of America to continue that, to continue to bring people into the tent, to continue to prove that they are worthy of our time. Yuff, that is the great Alexei Lauis, third and final group game for Team USA.

And their next round opponent is all but set. I'll go over it. We preview and review what's going to happen tonight, and I'll be going to my second World Cup game today. Number two. I think we've been clear.

You can call it a fee, you can call it a toll, call it whatever you want. If you are charging money to use the straits, we won't support it. We won't tolerate it. We won't allow it. And I think there was unanimity in that room on that point.

Marco Rubio, as I just mentioned, Iran talks have one short-term benefit. Oil is flowing and prices are dropping. The question, at what diplomatic and military cost? Number one. I think what is the Democratic Party if not its voters?

And what we saw yesterday evening were Democrats across the city turning out and voting for a new kind of politics. You can't hide it. The Dems are in a civil war, and New York's primary results are just the latest proof. The socialists know it, and it's time for the progressives to admit it or fight for their party back.

Well, you guys do it. It's not our fight. It's not my fight. It's not Carly's fight. But you guys, we just witnessed a D.C.

mayor's race that went to the socialists. We saw a socialist go in Seattle. We saw a socialist win in New York City. We saw a socialist win in Washington State. We're watching AOC come in six.

I think it's six years ago when she beat Joe Crowley with she joins. With the squad, and they have these extremely anti-Israel points of view and pro-Islamist I guess inclusion gene in them. I don't understand how those two coincide, but let's just move on. And because of that, Mondami is becoming a kingmaker, and his godfather is Bernie Sanders.

Now, you might not want them in your party, but you allowed them in your party. Carly, there's nothing short of a civil war going on right now. If I'm a Republican, I just point to what these three that won yesterday believe and tell me why they're wrong. Yeah, just point to what they believe and then shut up. That's all you need to do is point out exactly what they're saying and use it against them.

Because I do believe that a great majority of this country is shocked at a lot of their beliefs, especially the one woman. Who said, who posted a tweet saying that she didn't have a napkin, so she wiped her hands with the American flag next to her and, you know. Bleep America and all this anti-American sentiment. And now she's going to be a sitting member of Congress. I mean, these are not at all contested races.

She is going to Congress and she's going to have a committee assignment. I think the big thing about this is a lot of people say, well, listen, it's New York City, it's blue. This is what happens in big cities. But you can make a real case that this does move the entire national conversation and the political landscape to the left. Because what happens now, because it does show that the establishment can't protect its own.

And I think a lot of the energy is always around the most extremist point of view. The most extremist thing you could say is that a lot of those establishment Democrats in purple areas get scared and then they go, okay, well, maybe I'll start to do a little bit of the socialist thing myself.

So what does that do to the country? I mean, it divides us further. It moves part of the country further to the left. Is this a lasting thing? I don't think so.

I also don't really think it has a lot to do with Zora Mamdami. Yes, he campaigned for. For these three people, I think this is just a natural reaction to President Trump winning the second election in a blue city. But I think that the impacts of this could be far-reaching. Aaron Powell, but if you look at Donald Trump, he, you know, if Rush Limbaugh in his heyday ran for office, Mr.

Conservative. You could say the inverse of conservatism is socialism. But you look at Donald Trump.

Socialism, I mean, a lot of conservatives are even the biggest supporters. Like, he's not a traditional conservative. You might not like Trump, but why is your answer somebody that couldn't? Why is it socialism? I know.

Like, Donald Trump is not a pure capitalist. He's right now, for example, what's he doing today? He's saying to the oil and gas companies, bring those prices down. That's not what a capitalist usually wants to leave markets alone. Bingo.

Well, you are a sane individual, and that's why you see it the way you do. It has to do with the media. There's a lot of media spin surrounding the president and what his goals are. I mean look at the people who are Well it doesn't have to be but here's what I'm what I would say I challenge you on. If Akeem Jeffries And Madami combined to win this, but he went against.

Hakeem Jeffries. Nancy Pelosi was for Dan Goldman, who lost by double digits. He had won three terms prior. I'm not a fan. But he's not a socialist.

And he's not anti-Israel. He's anti-Netanyahu. That wasn't good enough. If you're Jewish, forget it.

So these people are anti-Semitic. Anti-Israel obviously goes along with that. Anti-American. And they also want to abolish ICE.

Okay, join the club. I'm not joining that club, but that's what these every Democrat says. But abolish prisons? Maybe. And let everybody in the border.

I know. Let everybody in.

So if I'm a Democrat and I'm running for office in Pennsylvania, I say, by the way, I don't agree with anything they're saying, but where is that? Yeah. You have Letitia James come out and say, wait, socialists, if you hate the Democratic Party, don't blow it up. But that's after another election. Yeah, I know.

I actually agree with everything you just said. And every race is going to be individualized, but you cannot. Discredit, and of course, you're not, that there is a real movement right now. And you know, and it's interesting because it's taking yesterday, it was kind of a funny day because we spent the entire day talking about the rise of the socialist movement. I mean, that's not spin, it's really happening, and it's not just New York City, obviously, in Maine, too.

What's going on in California with the mayoral race? And then at the end of the day, we had President Trump celebrating America 250 and the democracy that we all live in. Embracing that. Oh, that was like the palate cleanser after a whole day of what is going on in terms of how far left can we go and how anti-American can we be. I mean, it's pretty amazing, but it's a gift to Republicans because you just honestly say, Do you want to abolish prisons?

Do you want to abolish the border?

Okay, why don't you take on the mayor? You kept your mouth shut before an election.

Now, I was reading the New York Post today. If I'm to believe they're polling, only 7% of the Democrats, registered Democrats, came out to vote in this primary. And for people who say, what's the big deal? It's only a primary, Republicans have no shot. Yeah.

So they won.

So these three who came out and said the most horrific things about America. You know, I wipe my face with a flag. I'm a genocidal nation. Hassan Piker is their mentor. And by the way, Roe Conna goes on with him.

He wants to run for president.

So I just think that some of the people, some of the Democrats are horrified. Like Jared Moskowitz, listen to what he said. He's in Florida, but listen, Cut 16. If they want to have a policy debate, right, we can have that policy debate. Like, I'm all for debating policies, and people don't have to.

To agree with me on policies, they can have different positions, right? And the voters get to make those choices. But for me, what's going on is the movement has embraced a lot of anti-Semites. And some of the people coming here have a history of anti-Semitism, having nothing to do with Israel.

Okay. Yeah. You know what? I think it's so true. And as you're playing the clip, I was reflecting on something that Vice President Vayant said when he said that you would think that the reaction to Donald Trump winning the election is that, okay, Democrats, you know, as we talk amongst themselves, we've gone too far to the left.

But a lot of people, I think, look at that election and go, oh, no, that wasn't it. We actually need to go further.

So there's just two different schools of thought. And what does that do to the midterms? And you know, their other goal is to put one DSA member. On the platform when it comes to the primaries, they know they're going to probably win the nomination, and AOC is the one.

So, if they can get up there and get their point of view out, you just keep throwing at people and you weaken them. Yeah. I'm used to, oh, the socialists, the socialists, first they didn't want to say, I'm not a socialist, but I have some things that I want to, I want medicine. Grand Platter's calling himself a communist, or at least he did at one time, like openly. In writing.

In writing. So, here's Mondami. And then Jeffries Scalise, and then Van Jones, cut to. It's time for working people to be back at the heart of our politics. These are the champions who will do it.

We're going to lose two good members in New York. The DSA has been increasing their power. I think there are probably going to be lessons that can be learned, but no two districts are alike in New York City, and certainly that's the case. Across the country. Takeem Jeffries got destroyed last night in elections by his own Democrat voters in his backyard of New York.

The roof is collapsing on the Democratic Party establishment tonight.

So that's Van Jones. Yes, yep, yep, yep.

So just like he has no problem. He doesn't run for office, but he has no problem calling Democrats out, call Joe Biden out. Why don't you just say, listen, I don't agree with all this stuff. We just opened up the border and we got crushed in an election.

So why would we want to do that again? And why would we elect three people that I wouldn't want to campaign with, let alone support? Mondami says, no, I agree. I am the winner. I am the leader.

I wish that, and I don't know if this has ever happened. But I wish that um Daria Lisa Avila Chevalier. She's the woman that we were talking about who said the wipe the hands thing. I probably can't say two of her three names, but go ahead. I've listened to many clips of her saying it and people saying it, so I'm pretty confident that that's how it is.

I wish that she would speak to somebody who lost a loved one to illegal immigrant crime. Because of course you I mean you always It's never been about everybody understands why people want to come to this country. It's why we're celebrating our country right now. And you can be extremely sympathetic to all the people who cross the border. It is unsafe.

It is why people have borders around their own homes and why people live in gated communities and why Mayor Momdami has a gate around his Gracie Mansion. It's the same exact thing. And I wonder what that conversation would genuinely be like. And I don't know if that's ever happened. And what if it did?

What if she engaged in that conversation? Would she walk away learning something? Would she change her opinion? I don't know, but I think it would be a productive thing to happen. But I like the fact that she has to just say, I don't feel that way anymore.

She looks at her past tweets and go, yeah, that's the way I used to feel. I know. So here's Mondami because he's Kadakeem Jeffries went for two of the three, lost. And now just keep in mind, if Jeffries becomes Speaker, And it's not a done deal. Maybe you felt a year ago it's a done deal.

It's only a handful of seats. Republicans were in disarray. They couldn't even decide. And their own speaker kicked their own McCarthy out, which was a huge mistake. As much as I like Mike Johnson, he didn't aspire.

He had nothing to do with it.

So Zora Mabdai says: I am the leader. Of the party, Akeem Jeffrey expects to be speaker.

Now, you think that John Boehner had a hard time wrestling the Freedom Caucus? And then Paul Ryan did a hard time. And I like the guys in the Freedom Caucus, people in the Freedom Caucus, because they loved America. They just had a different idea fiscally and didn't want to give in at all. I thought they could have shown more flexibility.

And that maybe is the reason. Why did Jim Jordan didn't become speaker? Because a lot of people in the mainstream thought, I remember when you wouldn't give me any votes, but he somewhat changed, be more practical. I'll give you Chip Roy's an example, so tough, but then he goes, What's possible? This is what I want, but then what's possible?

So it's over MM Donnie, cut seven. I appreciate the relationship that I have with Leader Jeffries, and it's one where we're united and looking to deliver for the people of the city. And as you heard from him, we have disagreements about endorsements. And I think you mentioned a number of those candidates that I was proud to endorse: Daria Lisa, Avila Chevalier, and Claire Valdez, and Brad Lander. And also, at the end of the day, what we're looking to do is to deliver for the working people of New York City.

And I think last night we heard from New Yorkers a hunger for exactly that kind of work being done here in our city. By 7%. Daria Lisa, I should have said that. I am hopeful that this is a moment in time and not a permanent lasting. part of our country that's going to actually turn into like a European style of socialism and as the Liberal Party.

I think this is a reaction to Donald Trump and really has very I mean, Zoran Wamdami is the biggest winner of the week. Everybody's saying, oh, it's him. He's the kingmaker. This would have happened even if he wasn't campaigning for these people. This is very little to do with him.

This is an absolute psychosis style reaction to from people who dislike Donald Trump and going to the extreme. What about Espelad? Adrian Espalade, who is the Democratic. The Democratic Hispanic caucus chair. I mean, you would think he's one of the linchpins to stop Donald Trump because he's got to get the Hispanic vote back.

He doesn't march in the Puerto Rican Day parade, does the mayor? And then he's oust a Hispanic leader.

Well, I'm going to come back. I want to talk a little around with Carly Shimpkiss because is this your exit appearance until you give birth?

Well, I have 20 more days. What's the day?

Well, 20 more days. Yeah, I got it. I got a little emotional.

So I was getting a little emotional. Back in the moment.

From his mouth to your ears is Brian Kilmead. I think we've been clear. You can call it a fee, you can call it a toll, call it whatever you want. If you are charging money to use the straits, we won't support it. We won't tolerate it.

We won't allow it. And I think there was unanimity in that room on that point. But they are setting up an infrastructure, Carly. I keep reading about it, and Oman is working with Iran to do it.

So you could say they're saying things for domestic consumption, but at one point, Our delegation has to say, you cannot toll, you cannot provide insurance for the and not the 48 hours notice, not going to happen. They want to prepare to charge tolls. This is what they're doing. After 60 days. Yeah, so the insurance thing is also interesting because I was reading about that earlier this week.

And reportedly, what's happening right now is that Iran has set up an insurance payment system, but right now it's in place, but they're not charging anybody the insurance. Do you see what I mean? Yeah. Because they said after 60 days. Right.

So I think that when President Trump. Post what he did on True Social about all this, he was right. But if these reports are accurate, they're setting the foundation for future payments, which obviously cannot happen. And Trump will not allow it to. But that's a really big deal, because that would be a really big moneymaker.

And there's all these avenues that Gulf countries are trying to explore on how to get oil out of their area by diverting it away from the strait and into pipelines. But that's going to take a couple of years to do. Here's Marco Rubio, Cut 36. The President, the United States, if we can make a deal with Iran that's good for everybody, we want to do it, we're going to give it every chance to succeed, but also to make the point that we're not going to do anything or agree to anything that they're not aware of, that are Partners in the area are not aware of, that our partners in the area are not aligned with, and that in any way could undermine their security and their stability.

So to reassure them of these points, the same points we made in the GCC meeting.

So is Oman there? Did they say we are doing it? Because I talked to somebody a couple of days ago and they said there's going to be a letter that Oman's putting out that they're not going to charge for the straight. I haven't seen that letter. I think that right now, the way that I'm viewing this is as a collective.

So you can't. I understand that there's a lot of frustration on both sides about this memorandum of understanding, but you also have to take what happened during the I've almost forgotten about the MOU. I almost like, because it doesn't really even matter anymore. Right, right, right. Yeah.

But Iran's leadership is decimated, so is their military, and that really matters as well. Right.

Supreme Leader, too. Dennis Ross is next. But Carly Shimkiss is going to be, I'll miss you. That's all I can say. I'll miss you too, Brian.

That includes sanctions and includes other things.

So I think the President's been clear. If we're going to get a deal, it has to be a real deal and it has to be a good deal. If Iran wants to make a good and real deal, the United States is open to that. If they're not, then of course the President has options. We want this to work out.

We hope it works out. But if it doesn't, the President knows what his options are. You know, that was Marco Ruby in Bahrain meeting with the Gulf, our allies. And he said, I was going to do most of the time, I want to be listening. I just want to hear what they think about what's going on right now.

Because, you know, what shows me, he's not really in the loop on purpose. when purposefully Whether it's the president's or his deal, on what with the memorandum of understanding, which I don't even think we should bring up in detail anymore because I don't think it matters. It was enough to get them to talks. And you could look at it as a reference to see where we started and where we ended. And joining us now is Ambassador Dennis Ross, William Davidson, Distinguished Fellow at the Washington Institute for Neri's Policy, author of Statecraft.

Ambassador, so I don't know if you had a chance to hear the Secretary of State this morning, but he says nobody's going to nobody, he's worried about the proxies, said it flat out. including in Iraq. And nobody's tolling the straight. What do you think about where we're at right now?

Well, I'm worried for the following reason. You can say no one's going to be imposing tolls on the straits. But the Iranians are already talking with the Qataris, the Omanis, There's already talk of a reconciliation summit between the Gulf states and Iran. uh the discussions are clearly taking into account that Iran Is going to have some kind of managerial role in the straits when this is over. the talk of a reconciliation summit.

is coming from those who feel that they there needs to be some form of accommodation with Iranians. That doesn't bode very well.

So That gives me some pause. I still am I think there's going to be some accommodation on the straits, yes. Thank you. You can say there's no tolls, but look at the I know, Brian, you said you don't want to talk about the MOU, but the MOU- No, I'm not saying I don't. I just don't know how relevant you could talk about it, but I'm just saying I almost feel like I'm talking about a preseason.

A preseason projection in week six. I feel like who cares what Street and Smith said about the upcoming football season? We're already in week six. That's what I mean. I'm not saying it doesn't matter.

Right.

Let me make two points, one related to it and one that just sort of raises a a possibility. Um On the straits, the language in the MOU says no tolls for 60 days. And then after the 60 days, Rand will be talking with Oman. of the Gulf Liberal States about administration and managerial services.

So it's already, it establishes a basis for them to have a role. And that's where I think some of these discussions are already beginning. But the second point. Here's a larger question. Let's say the Iranians are willing to reach some kind of an agreement with us on the nuclear issue and nothing else.

So We will then lift. Sanctions At least some sanctions, right? I mean, we won't get them to do at least even part of what we're asking for in the nuclear issue, unless they get some sanctions relief. By the way, that is the way the MOU is written. It basically the Iranians are saying we won't implement anything on the nuclear issue until we've seen what sanctions relief we're going to get.

So that has to be spelled out.

So let's say they do only the nuclear issue. And by the way, let's say half of it is shipped out and the other half is down blended, which of course, they could then They could purify and build back up to twenty percent or sixty percent.

So already, there's a significant relaxation of a kind of economic lifeline for them, even though we will get nothing on the issue of missiles, nothing on the issue of proxies.

So that's where we are right now.

So let's take your analogy of the preseason and say, okay, we're now in the regular season and the Iranians basically create a proposition where they give us something, not everything on nuclear issues, but it's then tied to significant sanctions relief without any movement on the other issues. That, I think, is very much a kind of replay of the JCPOA. which focused only on the nuclear issue. Yeah, I mean here's Marco Rubio Cut Thirty Five. Fees and tolls are the same thing to me.

If you're paying someone to go through, I don't care if you call it a fee or a toll or a donation, it's a toll. That's how we're going to define it. That's international waterway. There isn't a nation on earth that supports having to pay money to go through the straits. And think about it this way.

If you have, first it's not even workable. Let's suppose that we went crazy and lost our minds completely and decided to agree to have a tolling or a fee mechanism. How would that work? It's not doable. Because what's the consequence for not paying it?

Let's say a ship says, well, I'm not going to pay the fee. It's not like a toll on a road. You don't get a ticket in the mail. They get shot at. You shoot at one ship, you sink one ship, no other ship is going to move.

So that sort of system is not only unwise, it can't happen. It's not even workable.

So you might as well abandon the fantasy now.

So that's what I'm going with.

So I hear you. And if they come out with an agreement that doesn't address the proxies, that allows total sanction relief and allows them to toll the strait. And Basa, you're 100% right. That's a disaster. I think it's a disaster.

It really is. And then if they have a $300 billion fund that they can I use. And they'll say, well, they buy farm goods.

Well, they'll just use other money to buy weapons. That they would have normally bought food for. Of course.

So, if that's the situation, I have a problem with it. Look what As I listen to the Secretary of State, I really hope that's what will guide us in these negotiations. To be honest, I wish he was in the negotiators. I know. That's what I said last week.

I wish we were more competent. Yeah, so I don't know what to believe.

So, one minute I say, okay, this is how I'm trying to get the facts.

So, I go, okay, this is what the facts are. This is what I think. And then I go, wait a second. I watched that press conference today and I see the president yesterday and I go, okay, why am I getting worked up? He says everything that I say.

He says that they're going to stop funding proxies. Hezbollah has got to stand down. Israel has a right to defend themselves.

Okay, okay, now I feel better about it. But if I go back to the MOU, I read all 14 points and the vice president was not honest with us on Wednesday and Thursday because Friday, when we got the 14 points, It's it what what's in there is in there Absolutely. I mean, I heard him say that. uh the nuclear the enriched material would be destroyed. That's not there.

Uh You know, look, I think what you and I are both saying is the following. If, in fact, we're able to produce an outcome that. really does change the character of what they can do in the future on the nuclear issue, limits the ballistic missile program, limits what they can do with proxies ensures that there's no management on their part of the of the Straits of Hormuz, then I feel much better. But I'm looking at already at the Gulf states who are beginning to make some moves, which I think reflects their view that they don't have much of a choice. That's how they're reading the current situation.

What do you mean? Can you give me an example?

Well, for example, there is discussion out here right now about a reconciliation summit. With a ran. A reconciliation summit with Iran right now. That signals a certain readiness to be accommodating to the Iranians before they've changed any behaviors. They've changed no behaviors at this point.

They've linked Lebanon to to Hermos. They are announcing, by the way, you have the head of the Revolutionary Guard saying, any monies we get, we're going to use to rebuild our military capability. They're saying it explicitly.

So at this point, there's what we're hearing from the Iranians suggests no change whatsoever. What we're hearing already from some of the Gulf states is they're looking for some means to sort of work out some new understandings with the Iranians. I don't object to new understandings with the Iranians if on the Iranian side they change their behavior. They change their behavior, that's fine. What the Vice President says about them turning a leaf, I'm all for that.

But I want to see it. Right now, I see no indication of that. And by the way, I think we should take the frozen funds and rebuild our bases and replenish the families who have those to have taken hostage before and are suing the Iranian government for killing their loved ones. I also wouldn't take that. I'd take that money and get the $80 billion that we spent bombing them.

I would unfreeze those funds and do that. But about the proxies, just so you know, I'm not rooting. I'm just logging and listening. Here is Cut 33, Marco Rubio, on the proxies. If you look at the MOU, it talks for peace in the region.

It talks for no interference in the sovereignty or interest of independent countries or sovereign countries.

Well, that's what proxies are. They're interfering in the sovereignty of a country. When you're giving money, for example, to Hezbollah to act as a rival to the sovereign government of Lebanon, you're interfering in their politics. When you're sponsoring militias in Iraq, you're interfering in Iraq. When you're sponsoring Hamas or the House or whoever it may be, you're interfering in the sovereignty of these countries.

So it's covered. The MOU contemplates a conversation about these things because it's critical and it's important. Because ultimately, you're not going to have peace and stability in this region as long as there are non-state actors operating within the boundaries and borders of sovereign countries and being funded by Iran. That's our leading diplomat, and obviously feels very conversant with the issue.

So, what am I supposed to take away from that?

Okay. Everything he said is 100% right. The only thing that I don't quite agree with is I don't see that in the MOU. He made a reference. He's I think there's a kind of generalization he's taking from a line on respecting the territorial integrity.

That was actually related to Lebanon, but that was inserted by the Iranians, referring to the Israeli presence, not to the Hezbollah presence. But everything else he was saying is right. But is that going to be reflected in our negotiating position? Because it's not reflected in the MOU. I hear you.

I did not know Gulf states in this reapproachment with Iran. You're the first one telling me that. Are you in the region now? I'm in Israel right now. All right.

To be clear, Brian, I'll just look. They're talking about a reconciliation summit.

Now, maybe that's not the policy yet. Maybe it's. Maybe it's being put out, uh, you know, by Qatar and Oman and maybe doesn't speak for all the countries. But there we'll have to see. But this should be watched.

It is an indication to me that there's even such discussion that there are those in the Gulf States who feel right now a need to find a way to accommodate the Iranians. That's not what we should be seeing right now if we want to see a different Middle East. I hear you. So Scott Besson was asked about the selling oil, Cut 39. There's some people wondering about the sanctions on Iranian oil.

They haven't had that. liberty to sell oil on the open market without the sanctions for a long, long time. What do you say to people who are concerned that the Iranians are getting the benefits before they're coming due with what they're going to do? A couple of things, Brett. One, the Iranians were always selling oil.

It was going to China but at a discount. It is a carrot that we can always pull back. We want them to see what it feels like not having the sanctions on and then we can always put them back on. That's what they're saying. For 60 days, you can sell.

If you don't do what we tell you to do, they're going to go back on.

Okay. Okay, that's fine, but it's they have they haven't delivered very much yet, and this is Clearly, as he put it, it's a carrot. They were selling oil because they had to do it surreptitiously, because they had to use ghost fleets.

Now they don't have to use the ghost fleets, at least for the 60 days.

Now they can do it in dollar accounts, so they no longer it doesn't have to go, it doesn't have to be held in the country that's buying the oil. It means that when they were selling oil before, it was usually at about a $30 discount.

Well, that's a windfall for them.

Okay. The hope, as he as the Secretary of Treasury put it, was them seeing this benefit will be such that they'll want to change their behavior. By the way, that was exactly the logic. of the Obama administration. There was a presumption we will integrate them so much into the international economy, they will see how much they have to gain, they won't have an incentive to go back to those behaviors.

Look, each of these points is a legitimate hypothesis. And in a sense, the Obama administration and now this administration wants to test that hypothesis.

Okay, I don't object to testing hypotheses, but I want us to not create such a stake in the process ourselves that we come up with excuses for why we can't reverse the pathway that we're on. I'm a little uneasy about that.

So, I don't understand with the technical, and this is a legitimate question. It's not a presumptive question.

So, Witkoff does not know nuclear energy, and Jarrakushna couldn't possibly know what a scientist knows about nuclear energy.

So, they say the technical team is over there. who are these people? And what are their roles? And how much can really be done without the pressure from both sides higher ups? I mean, when you sit down I mean it's very simple.

I know one thing is simple. You can't downblend yourself and hold on to the uranium. And you shouldn't be enriching at all. That's the President said you can't enrich at all.

So it's got to be taken out of the country. I don't care what country it goes to.

So it's got to be taken out of the country, right?

So we should agree on that. I mean, that you don't need a technical team for that. But you put your finger on it. Look, some of the technical questions would relate to how would monitoring work? Where is the IAA permitted to go?

Those are legitimate questions. Other questions would relate to the downblending. How will it be done? Who will observe it? How much dilution?

If you're talking about sixty percent, are you diluting it down to three point six seven percent, or are you diluting it down to twenty percent? Those are kind of technical questions, but the decisions have to be made at the political level. And look, one thing about the JCPOA, ninety-eight percent, Iran at that time had no highly enriched uranium. But ninety-eight percent of all the enriched uranium they had was shipped out of the country to Russia. It wasn't downblended.

It was shipped out of the country. 98% of it.

So, yeah, you know, that's an interesting standard to be comparing it to. By the way, that is a political level decision. Exactly what you were saying. I wish you were in there. I hope they still call you.

Ambassador Dennis Ross, thanks so much. I know in Israel they're not thrilled with this at all, right? That's correct. Dennis Ross, thank you. I appreciate it.

Back in a moment. It's Brian Kilmade. History isn't just in textbooks. It's the story of us, the United States. 2026 marks 250 years of America.

And throughout the year, Bill Hammer takes listeners on a journey through the 250 most impactful moments in American history. From the spark of revolution to the battles for freedom. The ideas, inventions, and decisions that changed the world. The 250 most impactful moments in American history podcasts. Listen and follow now at FoxnewsPodcasts.com.

Um A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmead. Like I care obviously for this team so deeply just like we all do and I just want us to win whether I'm playing or not playing. I desperately want to win, anything I can do to help. Like I said, those guys, they don't even need my health.

It was amazing to watch how well they played and the guys just stepping up in every position. And it was just fun to be a part of. Christian Pulisik talking about his injury. I'll play that a little bit later. And not in this hour, but talking about his calf injury that got re-injured.

He's only played a half, but yet the team has never played better. And the question is: in a game against Turkey tonight at 10, which is going to be huge ratings, I mean, 16 million people watched the second game. Can you imagine what it's going to be like the third game? But for me, doing the morning show, getting up at 2:30, I can't watch.

So, I will hope that he plays. And in talking to more and more people, I really believe they got to play it like it matters. Because just there's, I mean, you play him once a week. If you were playing four times a week, three times a week, I get it. But you haven't played in a week and you're not going to play again until Wednesday.

You're going to sit four starters because they have yellow cards. And you do have a really good bench. And the one thing that you would know if you don't follow it heavily, but all the most of the bench players have been starters before.

So they're going to look to prove themselves and say, you know, maybe I'm not going to be in the starting 11 on Wednesday. But man, I want you to be able to counter me.

So that's why with 72,000 people and 20 million people watching, U.S. team has to show up. And I was just talking to How many kids, five and six-year-old, eight-year-olds, ten-year-olds, say, I think I want to play that sport? I mean, that's the sales to it. Hockey certainly benefited from the USA team winning.

And then, of course, in 1980, when it won. Uh you know, we have almost hardly any Americans now. It's as big here as in Canada. From high atop. Fox News headquarters in New York City.

Always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian. I'm Kim. Welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kill Me Show. We're at 48th and 6th in Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, around the world, where the biggest debate is, are we in a blue bubble?

Last night, I thought the president was great. He just gave a good speech about the country, kicking off the big fair in Washington, D.C. leading up to July 4th. I'll be there with this show 29th and 30th, so Monday and Tuesday. Actually, get in on Sunday night.

It's going to be great to have a chance to be on the grounds that is nothing but red, white, and blue and have a chance to go to the Smithsonian. Everyone should do it. But they have there in the American Museum. Not that the others aren't great, but the American Museum is something you got to go to. It's hard to get through in one day, but thoroughly worth it, especially if it's your family and they're old enough.

On this hour, I'm going to be joined by Jeff Lacks. He's a CUNY professor speaking up for the anti-Semitism raging in this city and got to get his take on socialism and why it's taking root. Washington State, Washington, D.C., Mayor of Seattle, of course. Then you got what's happening here in New York City, the mayor, and then you got three more joining who's ever in the squad, clearly socialist, and then El Saeed, among his many attributes, which I find disgusting, is that he's a socialist. He is a leading contender to be the Democratic nominee over in Michigan to be senator.

So don't tell me this is a movement that's not. Eating up the Democratic Party. Let's get to the big three. Number three. I think it matters tremendously for the mentality, the psyche, and most importantly, the momentum for this team that has grabbed a hold of the imagination of America to continue that, to continue to bring people into the tent, to continue to prove that they are worthy of our time.

That is the great Alexi Laus. Third and final group game for Team USA, and their next round opponent is all but set. We previewed the game and more while playing, while going over the rest of the field. Number two. I think we've been clear.

You can call it a fee, you can cut it a toll, call it whatever you want. If you are charging money to use the straights, we won't support it, we won't tolerate it, we won't allow it. I think there was unanimity in that room on that point. I hope so. Iran talks have one short-term benefit: oil is flowing, and prices are dropping.

Question: At what diplomatic and military cost? Number one. I think what is the Democratic Party if not its voters? And what we saw yesterday evening were Democrats across the city turning out and voting for a new kind of politics. That is Oram Mamdani.

You can't hide it. The Dems are in a civil war, and New York's primary results are just the latest proof. The socialists know it, and it's time for the progressives to admit it. And dare I say, fight it. Josh Trashauer joins us now.

He's a political expert, Fox News, radio political analyst. Josh, I mean, there's no doubt about it. I think Republicans might be looking at their own mini-civil war after Trump is gone. And that's a good conversation I look forward to having. But right now, This has to be a five-alarm fire.

For Democrats who watched Sakeem Jeffries go for two of the three winners yesterday and lose both times and now pretend that it's no big deal. Is it a big deal?

Okay. I think it's more than a minor civil war. I think this could define the battle For the nomination, the presidential nomination in 2028, and Democratic leaders have been asleep at the wheel in confronting the rise of the DSA, which I'm so Struck by how many media outlets use the word democratic socialist to describe these characters. The Chevalier said last night on national TV, she's basically a communist. She was asked that she was a communist and did not deny it.

I mean, these are radical beyond belief. And we've talked a lot about candidates like Hamawi in New Jersey and El Syed. We've talked about Graham Plattner. I mean, these are off-the-charts radicals. And not only have Democratic leaders, even though they don't agree with them, they've totally.

avoided the issue and now the cancer is metastasizing and it's a re you're right it's a five-alarm fire on capitol hill for the democratic party if they don't confront the issue chuck shooter's not going to be around uh the senate in in a couple years jakeem jefferies may not may have the same problem that kevin mccarthy faced if he becomes the speaker i mean these are really really big issues that are confronting the democratic party that are only getting worse because they delayed the the challenge for so long or they delayed confronting the challenge and by the way like the biggest elections are are still yet to come new york was a big one but we've got colorado next tuesday where there's a socialist another dsa socialist who's leaning against a liberal congresswoman diana de get We have a senator, John Hickenlooper, who no one talks about a lot, but he's a very well-respected moderate who is in danger of losing a Senate seat to a socialist. And then later on in August, you have these Michigan races where we've talked about this before. There was a Hezbollah supporter that got elected in a lower-level Board of Regents election, which was shocking. But you also could have El Syed winning and other very radical candidates emerging from that primary.

So this is a problem that's not just a Jake Jeffries problem. It is that the Senate candidates in these big races and swing states, many of them, are off the charts radical. And it's a big, big red flag for the Democratic Party.

So I just want you to, I mean, Jamie Harrison came out, and I'll paraphrase. Hey, socialists, if you're going to rip apart the Democratic Party, don't use its infrastructure and its resources to get elected and then destroy it. Right? He used to run the DNC. I'm not a fan of his.

Uh but he's right. They let Bernie Sanders come in and run as a Democrat, and he's not. And these people are not Democrats. Yeah, Jamie Harrison is, I mean, there are many critiques of him, but he's a team, team, a team player, partisan, first and forever. And he understands because of that, like, that these people aren't on his team.

He actually understands that they actually want to take over the party. I think Melissa DeRosa on Fox had a, you know, called them parasites on special reports, that they basically are using the institution to take it over and promote dangerous ideologies and radicalism from the party.

So they basically want to basically. End the party here or prevent it from actually doing its job and then taking it over from within, and that's what's going on in New York.

Now, I mean, look. The battle is early, and there's certainly plenty of opportunities for Democrats to spend money to attack a lot of the off-the-charts radical candidates, but they're not doing it in Maine with Grand Platinum. Like, you can see what happened in Maine, where Chuck Schumer was. Endorsing Janet Mills, the governor, was afraid because Plattner was getting momentum and leading in the polls. He didn't want to spend money.

He didn't want to go after Plattner. And now Plattner and his brand of socialism is reflective of the party all over. Same with Mamdani. Like, the Democrats did not want to go after Mamdani in the mayor's race, and they just kind of let things go by the wayside. He ends up winning the nomination, winning the general election, and now he's basically a force in New York City Democrat and beyond, New York City Democratic politics and beyond.

So this is, I mean, I do think it's like a cancer within the party. People who are party people, people who are very liberal, but they understand the importance of having a healthy party institution, are now publicly raising the red flag and saying how much of a danger this is, even to democracy. But it's pretty late in the game, and Chuck Schumer still sounds, and to some extent, Jeffries, sound oblivious to the situation that they're confronting. Hey, Josh, the other thing is anti-Semitism. I mean, anti-Israel anti-Semitism and the Islamic extremist doctrine, pro-Hamas.

I mean, this is the attitude that's permeating through, let alone the abolished prison. Abolish ICE, abolish prisons, abolish the border. Really?

Well, one thing that I we've talked about a lot on the show is that, you know, as extreme and heinous as these anti-Semitic and anti-Israel comments are, Democrats kind of excuse them by saying, well, maybe we can still we can kind of just avoid talking about it and still win these elections. Blame Bibi. And they blame Baby. Here's the problem, Brian, that the people who have this these heinous pro-terrorism, anti-Israel views also have a lot of other views like get rid of prisons, let's not give criminal penalties to murderers. I mean that that's Chevalier right there.

She she's on record in many contexts saying uh the ex those exact things. Uh open borders. People who are the most anti-Israel hold all kinds of radical, just beyond the pale political views that are going to be toxic for the party, both in their own races, but certainly beyond and how it reflects the party brand.

So, like, Democrats may say, well, Israel's not popular anymore within the Democratic Party, so we don't need to worry about that. But the problem is that almost all of these candidates, they're not just radical on Israel, they're radical on all these other important issues that affect people's daily lives. And that's going to be a rude wake-up condemned Congress and see what their views actually are. Right.

I mean, Letitia James came out on this, and B, she basically, who she endorsed Mondami. I think, if I can remember correctly, did she endorse Mondami? Yeah, I mean, uh some of them k endorsed Mamdani after he won the the nomination, but but yeah, like they they jumped on Team Mamdani uh when when they saw where the winds were blowing and instead of trying to fight Mamdani from within, they kind of were like, Well, I really don't like Cuomo, he's a little sleazy and and instead of doing what it takes to actually like they do against Republicans and then fight Republicans with that same fervor, they basically let socialists and the DSA in New York in the tent and now they're taking over the the party and their their their Creating chaos, as we can see.

So, New York Attorney General Letitia James said this on another network: Some of the candidates that Mondami has supported are individuals who don't understand the politics of New York City, the cultural differences from district to district, who have not been part of the history and the struggle of some of these districts and are relatively new to the body politic. And she went off.

So, for her to do that, and Akeem Jeffries says it's no big deal. I'm wondering if Democrats don't bring up and say, I am different than this, Republicans are going to have a field day, don't you think? Oh, yeah. I mean, look, the big tests are going to be in some of these swing New York congressional races outside of the city.

So there are races in Long Island where Democrats have had some real struggles in the past, even when Democrats have done well overall. I'm thinking of Swasey and thinking of Gillen in New York in those Long Island feats, but also Mike Waller is certainly a more moderate challenger in Westchester. But my guy, I haven't heard her give a good response, and she's going to connoe as the nominee for the Democrats. She's going to have to speak out against the socialists. And I don't know if talking points are going to be good enough.

There has to be a sort of a moral outrage to convince some of these suburban moderates that this is not the kind of Democratic Party they want to see.

So I know the line from a lot of Schumer and Jefferies and a lot of Democratic officials on record has been, well, look, we have moderates in these districts. But the problem has been that they're not willing to confront the extremists. They're not willing to speak out against the anti-Semitism. And maybe it was just about anti-Semitism. They could get away with it.

But because they want to abolish the police and because they want to end jails and incarceration, those issues are going to translate down to the party at large, especially in New York.

So, I mean, those are going to be the Lawler race, especially, I think, is going to be a big test case of whether the larger brand problems for the party are going to affect even some of their more moderate candidates. John Fetterman writes. Anti-Israel, anti-American, anti-Western civilization. Why am I the only Democrat in the U.S. Senate that refuses to excuse this or defend any of these self-identified communists?

That's a Democrat.

Now, keep him on the Wall Street Journal editorial. I won't bore you with the whole thing, but they say after Tuesday, Democrats have offered even less resistance than before Tuesday. They'll face more socialist challenges across the country. And history says they'll try to survive by accommodating the left ideas. Medicare for all, higher income taxes, a wealth tax, abolish ICE are going to be Democratic agenda.

If not, in swing districts in 2026, then in the Democratic presidential primary in 2028, the DSA is a growing force and has already captured the mayor's office. Bernie Sanders is closer to achieving the dream of capturing the Democratic Party for the left through a younger generation. Do you want to challenge anything that I just read from the Wall Street Journal editorial board? I would just underscore it by saying this is not a New York, this is not just a New York City. Pretty much every city in the country, every big city in the country, the DSA has.

As much or is threatening to have as much power as actual democratic moderate institutions from these are one-party states, cities, as you well know, Brian. Like there's no Republican Party in most competitive in most American cities.

So basically, the DSA has become that second party. In Los Angeles, for example, you've got DSA Challenging. You know, we talk a lot about Spencer Stratt, but it's the DSA candidate that actually went on to the second round against Karen Bass, who's pretty. Pretty to the left herself.

So it's not just the cities, too. We talked about Michigan.

Next week in Colorado, there's a statewide primary where John Hickenlooper is facing a socialist, Diana DeGuette in Denver facing a socialist. This is metastasizing.

So, you know, Democrats may want to comfort themselves in saying this is just these two districts and three districts in New York City. It is spreading. Mamdani allowed it to spread beyond the mayor's race, and now these congressional results are allowing it to spread well past New York City. Yeah, I can't wait to. I would just love to see Chuck Schumer just call a press conference and just say this is not my party.

You know, if you don't want me out as majority leader, go ahead. Minority leader, go ahead. Uh but I I don't recognize his party. And the thousands of people. And they have the money and they have the resources to go after these socialist candidates, but they're worried about, again, that these actually.

these radical candidates have more grassroots support than they would like to acknowledge. But they say only 7% of the Democratic Party members showed up for this election. They gave it a Mondami. 7%. Yeah, I mean, look, it it it's it's the pa it's the problem the problem in our politics these days is that the passionate crazies that are the ones that show up and the people who are normal.

Tend not to vote or just don't realize there's an election, a primary election in the middle of June or in the middle of the summer that's taking place.

So that's part of the problem. And the people that have taken over and are the most passionate on the Democratic Party side, we'd say this writ large, too, is that they're the ones who are the most extreme and they're the ones dominating the process as a result. Josh, crazy times. Remember the day with Bill Clinton and George Bush, there wasn't much difference in their economy and their approach to the military. It was personal.

It was one dodged the draft and one was a hero at 19.

Now, but with the country was making a choice. But now I feel if the country goes to any of these socialists for a major seat. I mean, that is a dramatically different country. They want to pack the court. They want to add two states.

They want to get rid of the Electoral College. You know, I mean, this is. They want to have a wealth tax. Their goal is a wealth tax federally when it's failed everywhere in Europe and in the Nordic states, in the Nordic countries.

So, I mean, this is a dramatic change. come election day in 26 and m for sure in 28. Final thought.

Well, I'm grateful that we've been talking about this for a long time. I mean, this shouldn't come as a surprise to any of your listeners. Sadly, I think the New York Times and some even the local papers in New York and some of these big cities have been asleep at the wheel. Like, Washington, D.C., barely covered the fact in the local Washington Post that there was a socialist that was about to get nominated. It really underplayed all these ideological dimensions.

So, a lot of people, it's not just the politics, but the media has totally ignored the radicalism and the threat to democracy, frankly, from these radical candidates. All right. Thanks so much, Josh. Appreciate it. Thanks, Brian.

We come back. I'm going to get a little squeeze in some calls, but I got a lot of your emails already last night.

So, BrianKilmead.com, click on comments, bottom the arrow, we expand on this and also talk about the World Cup and also the America 250. And I got some polling numbers that are both encouraging and discouraging.

So, your thoughts next. Giving you everything you need to know, you're with Brian Kilmead. Are you one of those media strategy people clicking through slides, scrolling spreadsheets? Yes? Good.

This is for you. Because on Spotify there's an audience that's different. Locked in, loyal, invested. They're called fans. Fans don't just listen to music, they feel seen by it, like it belongs to them.

So when your brand shows up on Spotify, that's who you're talking to. And you're right next to artists like me, Lizzo.

So are you ready to talk to fans? Spotify Advertising, you're among fans. The more you listen, the more you'll know it's Brian Kilmead. His book is available at Barnes and Nobody's. Host and fonts and friends at One Nation, Brian Killmead.

Brian, even before COVID, people were asking you to wear a mask. Are you just you, actually? Yeah, it was just me in the bedroom. Are you looking? And it's funny because I never see his face anyway.

Three in a row, my God. But really, what idea is more worthy of the Democrat Party than having women teach men about masculinity in a camp? That's like Brian Kilmead teaching me how to make friends. Like Brad Pitt. Yeah.

I mean... How did he get on screen? A dog. Woof, woof, Brian. Right, I don't judge men.

Yeah, you don't. And I don't think this is the way to go, but I never ran for president. You said circumcisions got cut? Right.

Yeah, no longer. All right, enough of that dirty, dirty humor. I won't have it here. Really?

Philmy, you must hear nobody cares a lot. Not really, just on this show. Just on this show and around you. If I ever worked with Craig, I'd have actually no self-esteem at all. And I just get him in small doses every once in a while.

Yeah, it's kind of a good point, Brian. I mean, you love cheese, judging by my elevator rides with you.

So, I have no idea what half those references were. It was a gut belt from two days ago. Would you cut that up, Eric? Did you, but that was kind of raunchy, didn't it? It was unbelievable.

Yeah, I'm not sure that's worthy of our show. I have no idea where that show is going, but it was actually a fun show. I think that he does a great job. I mean, look at the ratings. I mean, it just look at the ratings.

You literally take Jimmy Kimmel, double it. I don't think they reach him. I mean, he's getting in the fours over four. Jesse's raised it. I mean, everybody in prime time is through the roof.

But I mean, what he does at 10 o'clock is unbelievable. I mean, he was getting the same thing at 11. And I guess Jimmy Kim will benefit a little bit because Colbert bowed out. I don't think Jimmy Fallon has moved up at all. But he's spending, I watched some of his monologues the last few days just to get a feel for it.

80% stand ITRU. Police, isn't that Lane's fault? Jeff Blacksmith. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead.

I think what is the Democratic Party if not its voters? And what we saw yesterday evening were Democrats across the city turning out and voting for a new kind of politics. And I've been clear time and time again that I believe the only majority in our country is that of the working class. And what we saw is that a focus on the working class, whether it's from Claire, whether it's from Daria Lisa, whether it's from Brad, is the kind of focus that New Yorkers want to see. And I have a deep amount of respect for my friend Attorney General James.

And I also believe that these are the kinds of candidates that we need to see in Congress, as well as the five state legislative candidates that I endorsed that also won yesterday evening if we want to truly fulfill the affordability agenda. Mayor's sky high. He really is. Even though he got less votes than any other mayor that's been elected from Bloomberg, even If you look at the Basio, what a joke he was. He did better both elections, but he is doing more with less.

And he is finding a way to get people out. And one thing they have in common: they are all anti-Semitic and certainly anti-Israel, goes without saying. If you are take a dollar from AIPAC, that is the third rail now for any Democrat and some Republicans. Jeff Lax knows all about it, anti-Semitism raging in New York City and how it spreads. He's a professor of law at CUNY at City College here in New York City and joins us now.

Jeff, your take on what we all witnessed on Tuesday night? Yeah, I mean, he is smooth, though. That's the one concern. I think we have someone that. Had a lot of success, and he's gonna, he has an ego.

He has no shortage of an ego either.

So this wrapper That's what he really is. He's never had a real job. But he is going, I think he's going to have success in a way, believe it or not, in my opinion, that AOC has not been able to, which is to because he's been actually successful at helping colleagues, organizing, and getting them into power. That's something that AOC has not done well, actually. And if you look at these three people that won the primaries, and they're going to be obviously in Congress because New York is so dark blue in their district specifically, but Daria Liza Avila Chevalier, she is beyond crazy.

She was, I really want to remind people of the exact quote that she gave, because I don't think it's getting out there enough. She helped form QAD, that was our friend Mahmoud Khalil's group. And what she said was what they put they put this out in the tweet. That QAD's goal, so Darielise's goal was: we are Westerners fighting for the total eradication. of Western civilization.

That's what she wants. That's who these people are. And that is something we need to all come together. There are Democrats out there still that oppose this. And we have to have a coalition to oppose this.

But how about also, you know, she wants to abolish prisons, wants to abolish ICE, of course, and despise the Democratic Party. And then she says, Well, I used to think that not anymore. That's BS. We know she thinks that. And why would that attract anybody?

Normally, a background check. If you say, Wow, that's a good speaker, I wonder what she's about. You look that you do a background check and you go, she can't possibly run for office. But instead, Mondami says, That's perfect. I'd like to put all my power and prestige and the DSA number of money behind her.

It's insane to think about. But she went out and won. And where was she, Jeff? On october eighth. 2023.

celebrating. Celebrating the Italian. The attacks that were still going on. From Gaza in Israel. It's absolutely sick.

It's absolutely sick. When people were ha when the bodies were still warm. She was celebrating while vigils were going on on her campuses and other campuses. Um She was celebrating. Yeah.

The only thing I would say, Brian, is I would start. If I'm if I'm the rest of the country right now, And if I'm Republicans especially, Because the Republicans have their own little problem. I give them a lot of credit, though, because they're standing up to it. But if I'm Republicans right now, I clarify this message. It is not just anti-Semitism.

And it's not just a talking point to say that. It is factually true. These people are not coming after Jews, they're coming after Western culture. That's the truth. The Jews are the easy way in.

The Jews are very easy to get everyone to agree to hate, and definitely Israel. Very easy for that to be the Trojan horse. But that's not really what this is about. This is about coming, really coming after. Not just American culture, all of Western culture.

You look across Europe, what's happening right now, Brian, it is sick. You look at Sweden, you look at Germany, you look at the UK, you look at France. Have you seen the sexual assault numbers in these countries that they now have confirmed through studies? Are coming from increased migration from North Africa and the Middle East. And people who are not vetted, and now Europe.

Of all places, Europe is now waking up and starting to toughen their immigration laws and starting to deport criminals that were migrants. We were ahead of them. Trump was ahead of them, not Biden. Trump was ahead of them. I want you to hear more from Dara Lisa in her debate on New York One.

I was in Nablus for over almost two months and I visited many cities in the region, both in the West Bank and in Israel. And what I found in my time there was a system of apartheid. And I saw so many connections between what was happening to Palestinians there in Palestine and what was happening to so many communities across the U.S., particularly black and Latino communities, who have been priced out and pushed out of our homes. When we talk about displacement in the West Bank or in Gaza, it is a very similar, visually similar situation where people who have been in a place for generations are being displaced because of corporate interests, because of folks who are coming in, claiming the land, buying it up, and kicking the people who live there out. And I've seen a lot of similarities, not just in the way things are done, but also in the very institutions that are enacting that violence.

The tear gas that was being dropped on Palestinians in Gaza in 2014 was the same tear gas that was being dropped on black protesters in Ferguson in 2014. And that memory, that summer for me, was incredibly formative because it showed me that connection is not only one that is like, but it is the very same system.

So what do you be what about her analogy that got no pushback?

Well, I mean, this is their talking point. This is how they build their fake coalition. And that's why I think we need to form a real coal this is not a real coalition. Marx you know, Marxists and Islamists can't really coexist. Not long term.

This is all very technological. Marxists are are are secular, aren't they? They don't believe in any religion. Not just secular. They want to make a religion illegal.

Yeah. And Islamists live for the religion. Everything is based on religion. It it's ridiculous. What about women's rights?

I mean, you know, if you're an Islamist, look at Europe. Again, look at the UK. 80 Sharia law councils. God forbid this ever happens in our country. You know what happens to women?

Under Sharia law, And these law councils are handling issues of domestic issues in the UK. It's really scary. But what is she really doing here? When she talks about apartheid, It's it's it's such nonsense. Israel has two Million.

Muslims, the happiest, freest Muslims in the entire Middle East. Live in Israel. If you are in Gaza, And you are gay. And I looked this up, Brian. There are actually about 10.

Palestinians who escape to Israel every year. It doesn't sound like a lot, but think about the courage it takes to do this. They run away from Gaza, they escape Hamas and they try to get refuge in Israel because they're gay, because they don't want to get thrown off a building. And those are the ten luckiest Gazans every year. Who make it to Israel and Israel gives them refuge, which they do, by the way.

And they get saved from being thrown off a roof.

So let me ask a part time. Jeff, I want you to hear from Dan Goldman, who he's just vehemently, he's as bad at Trump as Adam Schiff is, as Jamie Raskin is.

So nobody thinks that this guy isn't liberal enough. Anti-Trump enough. But he lost this election. got trounced because he's Jewish basically and hasn't condemned Israel even though he condemns Netanyahu. Listen to this.

Something I certainly felt during this campaign and is something that the entire Democratic Party, not just Jews, are going to have to grapple with. Is he right? Yeah, absolutely. And what you said is 100% right. I mean, look.

All you have to do is look at what happened with Kamala Harris a couple of short years ago. With the with Governor Shapiro. And CNN, this famous clip, you remember the clip. Where King goes on the air and doesn't say that Shapiro wasn't selected because he's pro-Israel. doesn't say he wasn't selected because it's he's too Zionist.

Literally says on CNN. That the Democrats thought It was a problem that he was Jewish. That's what he said. Yeah. And this is two years ago.

So we're seeing a lot of this now. We're finally finally. AIPAC II, Jeff, APAC II. That is a you know, it's a lobbying group for Israel.

Now, the big question, I think the first question on stage, the CNN. A moderator will ask Democratic candidates for president. Put up your hand, he said. If you promise not to take money from APAC, and every hand will go up, and AOCs will be the highest. This is the most anti-democratic, disgusting thing I've ever had because.

These are all Americans. In the last dialect, Americans are allowed to socialize. We have freedom of association. Freedom of speech. If we love Israel because we believe in the Bible, We are allowed to do that.

So this idea that APAC is an Israeli foreign op Isn't the most disgusting anti-American. And anti-Semitic. Those things are now so combined, so intertwined. It is anti-American to tell Americans. They cannot associate.

for their in their love for anything. It could be another country. Just because you love the land of Israel because it's holy doesn't make you a subservient in any way or a dual loyalist in any way. And I'm telling you, to me, this is the the most anti American thing you do. Look at all these crazy soccer fans now.

Do we begrudge any of them here in America? Even Americans, forget the ones who are coming here and loving the ranch dressing. What about the native living Americans here Who are putting on foreign outfits and the regalia they wear for these matches, we allow them to associate and to celebrate different countries for these soccer matches. And that's America. Yeah, no doubt about it.

I can't believe it's accepting. And there is a problem on the right, too, with Israel. You know, there's certain podcasters out there that come out and say Israel is the problem. As long as the Republican Party is associated with Israel, they're always going to be, we're always going to be dragged into wars, and there's always going to be issues. We know that's taken root in Europe.

You've already went over that.

So I think that's got to be, I mean, guys like Tom Cotton, Lindsey Graham, most of the Democrats, Josh Gottheimer, people are going to come out and say, that is not me, John Fetterman. But some will.

Some will be afraid to condemn those on the extreme right with a podcast. who are basically daring you to say that Israel's our ally. Yeah, I mean it's unfortunate, it is so not true. that if America if America did not associate with Israel That we wouldn't still have a problem with all these terrorist groups. Again, I urge people to understand the truth, which is that These countries, these Sharia law countries, want a global caliphate.

Israel is a tiny little nuisance. They want to flick Israel away as soon as they can and go after the big get, which is America. It has nothing to do with American support for Israel. Again, if it did, Why would we be seeing the infiltration of these sexual assaults? By Middle Eastern men from some of these Sharia countries all across Europe today.

What does that have to do? What do the Sharia law councils have to do in the UK? with hating Israel. Nothing. This is a global movement.

For a global caliphate has nothing to do with Jews, and people need to wake up and understand that. Lastly, just real quick: do you think at one point Hakeem Jeffries or Dancy Pelosi or anybody thought to be in democratic leadership? will come out in favor of Israel, condemn the anti-Semitism amongst these three that just got elected. They just had their chance and they didn't. I mean, they just had their chan how many chances have they had and they haven't?

No, I don't think that. I think if you've ever read Malcolm Gladwell, the tipping point was reached a long time ago, Brian. The Democratic Party is a socialist party. There's no way to stop that now. The question is, what do the Republicans do about it?

Jeff Lacks, thanks so much. Keep fighting, Jeff. Appreciate it. Love it, Brian. Thank you.

All right. Back in a moment. Don't go anywhere. Brian Kilmead will be right back. Radio that makes you think.

This is the Brian Kill Me Show. In the first minute of the England game, one of the announcers got a little spicy about my homeland. Take a listen. Gotta have never beaten England. It would be a huge shock, but as we know, the English historically struggle here in Massachusetts.

It's a good joke. It's a good joke. It is. It is. You know where America has historically struggled?

The World Cup. Both true. Both true. James Corden, what a great hire. You know, it's just one of those things where he doesn't just make a joke of it because he obviously knows soccer.

But he doesn't come off as the aficionado that knows everything. He's there to lighten it up and recap at the same time. And I think he gives great respect to the U.S. team. I saw, I haven't watched a lot of it, but everything I saw has been funny.

But he's funny. And again, I've never met him. But his late night show was so cool in that it was so different. He reluctantly would have a couple of drum chokes, and then he would just move on and do skits. He's an actor.

And I think it was so cool of Fox Sports to hire him or Fox Network to hire him. And now that we're getting millions of people watching, I'm sure he's getting millions of people. I bet you he gets a late-night contract out of this because the guy's funny. I know he had this problem with some uh problem in a restaurant that Who's unable to shake some disagreement on tipping, ended up being a bigger deal? And again, I haven't met him.

But he's just having fun with these guys. He doesn't try to be Ted Coppel and find out what really is going on. He's just it's a good way to end the day and recap the night. But on the game itself, this is my take. I watched Brazil play Scotland, and Scotland was not even on the same planet.

They gave up two big goals on mistakes, and it kills me because the best thing off the field, no offense, Norway, has been the Tartan Army of Scotland. Not only do they have fun and drink cities out of beer, but they bring bagpipes, they have parades, they donate to children's hospitals and good causes. And I'm sad because if Scotland loses, which they did in Miami by 3-0, they can advance even as a third-place team.

So I hope they stick around. And if you stick around, we promise to brew more beer. Because literally it happened.

So that's kind of cool. And by the way, on a side note, I wrote this editorial, was asked to write this editorial for the New York Post today. I hope you read it. It's about 1776, what I think of the country. They asked me to just keep it broad.

And it's in there.

So hopefully everyone has a chance to read it. If you don't get the New York Post, even though it's an international newspaper, just go to nypost.com and I'm sure it'll pop up or just Google my name.

So keep in mind here, we're going to be keeping you up to date on what's happening. In the World Cup, I'm going out to a game today, keeping you up to date what's happening in Iran, and of course in New York City. Is it a blue bubble or is that bubble now spreading across the country, which would make it a different country, a country. That I don't think would be recognizable. What do you think?

If you have to run now, Briankilme.com. If you're watching on YouTube later, BrianKilme.com to get your comments. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. So glad you're there.

It's Brian Kilmey Chow. I'm still trying to make sense of the city I'm in, which is doing such a great job hosting the world. I mean, these sports bars are overflowing. I'm out of game. People wearing jerseys.

And in one hand, I'm extremely proud, but then when I see who they are elected, who they put in power, and their philosophies and policies, I'm sickened. Coming up at the bottom of the hour, Chip Roy doesn't have those problems, lives in Texas. He's going to be with me. Congressman Mike Lawler, who now has an opponent and always will be in a fight in a battleground district in New York, will be with me shortly.

So let's get to the big three. Number three. I think it matters tremendously for the mentality, the psyche, and most importantly the momentum for this team that has grabbed a hold of the imagination of America to continue that, to continue to bring people into the tent, to continue to prove that they are worthy of our time. That's Alexi Lawis, who's having a great cup. He's getting fights.

It's real. He has opinions and they contradicted. That's called a real scoreboard show. Cannot wait for the game tonight at 10 and cannot wait to go out to the World Cup today at 4. Number 10.

I think we've been clear. You can call it a fee. You can call it a toll, call it whatever you want. If you are charging money to use the straights, we won't support it. We won't tolerate it.

We won't allow it. And I think there was unanimity in that room on that point. That is Marco Rubio, had a press conference this morning, brilliantly handled every question from around the world. Iran talks have one short-term benefit. Oil is flowing, prices are dropping.

The question, at what diplomatic and military cost, we'll discuss. Number one. Taddy, what is the Democratic Party if not its voters? And what we saw yesterday evening were Democrats across the city turning out and voting for a new kind of politics. That is Mayor Mom Donnie.

Uh, you can't hide it. Dems are in a civil war, and New York's primary results are just the latest proof. The socialists know it, and it's time for the progressives to admit it. The socialists say it's their party, progressives say it's not, but why don't you say it to them? Congressman Mike Lawler joins us now.

Congressman, I never expected Akeem Jeffries to lose in those three seats, and I guess two of which he went to bat for. Nancy Pelosi went to bat for Dan Goldman. Dan Goldman is as tough on Donald Trump as Jamie Raskin and Adam Schiff.

So please don't tell me that he was too moderate. You know, he's not Tom Swazi. Who is a moderate? I think I'm a moderate. I think you do too.

So that would be different if he lost to a modern, I go the party's change. But this guy has already left. How do you interpret this, not only your opponent, I'll get to that, but as somebody who knows New York politics? Look, there's no question that the socialists had a very big night. They picked up three congressional seats and over half a dozen state legislative seats underneath.

That's not really been focused on because of the big three. But they are on the march, and Mamdani is leading the charge. And frankly, Jeffries and Schumer look pathetic and weak. And to your point, Brian, Dan Goldman and Adriano Espayat. Are hardcore progressives.

They are far left. They are not centrist, they're not moderate. Uh they never have been. But they were taken out by radical socialists, many of whom espouse anti-American viewpoints. And sadly for the Democrats and sadly for America, Uh, this is becoming the mainstream of the Democratic Party.

When you look at Graham Plattner, when you look at, you know, out in New Jersey, you know, a defense witness for the bomber in the World Trade Center in 1993. I mean, it's crazy the people that they are nominating for public office for Congress, for the United States House of Representatives, and this is what they're putting forward.

So, here is Senator Senator Lisa Blunt. Rochester, is a Delaware Center, Democrat. This is how they're trying to handle this, Cut Eleven. Where has socialism ever worked? Senator.

Is that another question or is that for the next interview? Oh, that's definitely for you. You said fish doesn't work everywhere. I just want to know one place where socialism has been beneficial. When you have me come back on, we can talk about all the racism.

That's your answer. That's CNBC. Just say, it doesn't work. It's not what I believe, right? Just say, well, I'm a capitalist and I want Medicare for all or something, but I'm not a socialist.

Just what's so hard about that? It shouldn't be that hard. I mean, frankly, one of the only people that has pushed back against this is Josh Gottheimer from New Jersey. But this is craziness. It's not that hard to say I don't support socialism and I don't agree with their perspective.

You know, listen, I had no problem calling out Thomas Massey or Marjorie Taylor Greene when I disagreed with them on a policy. You have to be willing to push back. This is a fight for the soul and the future of the country. This is almost. beyond Republican versus Democrat.

This you have crazy radical socialists that are seizing control of the Democratic Party. And Brian, they admit They're not even really Democrats. They're just using the Democratic Party as the vehicle. And so you have Hakeem Jeffries, who effectively lost control. He cut a deal with Mamdani to protect himself so that Chiosei would not run against him in a primary, but basically threw everybody under the bus as sacrificial lambs from Esfayat to Goldman.

And it's just, it's frankly, it's embarrassing what has become of the Democratic Party, especially in New York, where Zoran Mamdani and AOC are leading the charge. Yeah, so for you, I think just Jared Moskowitz, who's in Florida, but says the other thing besides socialism is anti-Semitism. Cut 16. If they want to have a policy debate, right, we can have that policy debate. Like, I'm all for debating policies, and people don't have to agree with me on policies.

They can have different positions, right? And the voters get to make those choices. But for me, what's going on is the movement has embraced a lot of anti-Semites. And some of the people coming here have a history of anti-Semitism, having nothing to do with Israel.

So that's the one other thing. You have to point that out too. Even though you guys on the Republican Party, you also have the podcast platform who tends to be right.

Some have resigned from the Republican Party. There have been anti-Israel leaning towards anti-Semitism too, Mike. Oh, no question. And Brian, I've called it out. I mean, Josh Gottheimer and I put forward a resolution condemning Hassan Piker and Candace Owens, calling out Tucker Carlson.

I have no problem calling out anti-Semitism wherever it rears its head. It's vile and it has no place in our politics, let alone society. And unfortunately, what we're seeing, though, is especially on the left. They are electing and supporting candidates that are openly anti-Semitic. You saw in the primary against Thomas Massey, he was defeated despite trying to make it all about Israel.

And Jews. And so, you know, to me, both parties need to not only police this, but really ensure that these crazy, radical, anti-Semitic Semites are not being elected to public office. But look, this is bigger than that in many respects. It's not just anti-Semitism or Jew hatred. It is a hatred of America.

It is a hatred of Western democracy. It is a hatred of capitalism. They dabble in Marxist theory and the oppressed versus the oppressor. And that's what this is rooted in. And they fundamentally are trying to reshape America and American democracy and our constitutional republic.

In a way, it's a blessing for a guy like you. In a way, it's a blessing because you're in the Battleground District. And it's so you have to be able to define people and say the difference. Because people in Battleground District know being extreme left to right is probably not going to be successful. You and Brian Fitzpatrick are examples of that.

So, but until further notice, that is the left. And your opponent is now Kate Conley on MS Now, where anyone would feel comfortable who believes what he believes, cut 27. This administration What it's done, it has been very clear it does not care about working class families. It does not care about the problems they are facing. And instead of fighting for those people, instead of fighting for families, Mike Lawler has given Donald Trump a blank check.

where you have families unable to even balance their checkbook. Have you given Donald Trump a blank check? No, and in fact, I'm the one who fought back against the president directly on the issue of salt. I'm the one that fought to pass the largest tax cut in American history, putting more money back in the pockets of hardworking New Yorkers, especially in my district. Lifting the capital on salt from $10,000 to $40,000 produced some of the largest tax refunds people have ever seen, between $5,000 and $20,000 on average, because We actually passed legislation that matters.

It's why I led the effort on housing and why we've passed a bipartisan housing bill to actually increase supply, reduce costs, and create greater access to capital. You know, Kate can't disagree with anything that these folks say. She wants to ban ICE. She wants to raise taxes and increase federal spending. She wants open borders.

She is no different than the rest of them. She just doesn't call herself a socialist. She went at ye again, cut twenty-five. Mike Lawler is a very skilled communicator because he spent the last 20 years as a political operative and political hack. where I've spent the last 20 years leading America's sons and daughters in defense of this nation.

Mike Lawler wants to get credit for doing things. You know, he's the guy who starts the fire and then wants credit for calling the fire department when really he is an arsonist. Uh are you an arsonist? No. In fact, I'm one of the most bipartisan and effective members of Congress precisely because I actually try to solve problems regardless of who started it or who created it.

Look, I respect her service, but that alone is not means by which she's qualified to be a member of Congress. And she has offered no solutions to anything. And in fact, the thing she does talk about, she says she wants to ban stock trading. I'm one of the leads on the bill to do that. Uh you know, she wants term limits.

I support that. I've been one of the leads on a bill to do that.

So, the things she's talking about that she's claiming somehow she's going to effectuate change on. We agree on it. But the reality is the stuff that matters to hardworking New Yorkers, the cost of living, she doesn't want to increase domestic production of energy. I'm calling for Indian Point to be rebuilt and reopened. I'm calling for natural gas pipelines to be built.

I'm calling for natural gas extraction in New York to be permitted. The fact is, utility rates are up 58% in New York precisely because she supports Kathy Hochul's disastrous policies of shutting down nuclear power plants and blocking natural gas.

So you look at the issue of affordability. Let's talk about affordability. Let's talk about the fact that New York has a $277 billion budget, up $20 billion in one year, and she said nothing about it.

Meanwhile, New Yorkers are leaving in droves because they can't afford to live here. You want to address the issue of affordability, start reining in the size and scope of government in New York. That's what we've been doing in Washington, right-sizing the federal budget, starting to rein in the excesses and make it easier for people to afford where they live. The stock market is hitting record highs. Interest rates are coming down.

Oil prices are dropping precipitously as the Strait of Hormuz reopens. You know, Democrats have done nothing to address any of these issues. All they do is yell and scream that they hate Donald Trump. I worry that the blue states are going to keep taxes high to keep gas high to give the perception that the gas is not going down. I mean, I went to California to watch to cover the U.S.

national team. Gas is like $7. I mean, even when it comes down, because there's so many taxes put into the gallon. That they tax people to death in California and New York. And I had this debate with Maxine Morters just a few weeks ago in the Financial Services Committee.

She was screaming about gas prices. And I pointed out that the reason California has the highest gas prices anywhere in the country is because all the excise taxes they add onto it on top of your traditional highway tax. Congressman, do you think Kathy Hogl's got to make a decision here? She's scared to death of him. I'm talking about Mom Dami.

She doesn't run as a socialist, but Bruce Blakeman's got an opportunity here to define her. She's got to decide either you leave Mondami. Or you make yourself a socialist and run as Mondami to keep your. governor's seat. Kathy Hochle is the most feckless, incompetent governor in America.

She has run the state into the ground, and she has kowtowed to the socialists in the same way Jeffries and Schumer have. I mean, they're petrified of Zoran Mamdani and AOC. They have turned over the legislative agenda to them. They refuse to negotiate in good faith on anything. They've shut the government down for months on end, all to appease these crazy radical socialists.

And, you know, unfortunately, Kathy Hochl does not have the spine nor the intelligence to actually push back against this insanity. Congressman, if you lose, If you lose your seat. Republicans have no shot at keeping the House, and I think they realize that. And you're a really good campaigner, and you are an impactful congressman. People don't have to look hard to see your record.

You're not sneaking out or disappearing for months on end like the guy in New Jersey. You're always in the fight. Always appreciate having you on. You do a consequential job. Congressman Mike Loewa, thanks so much.

Thanks, Brian. Appreciate it. Back in a moment. It's Brian Killmead. Breaking news, unique opinions.

Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. Yes, thank you, Mr. President.

So 12 120, 141 years ago, Albert Einstein, 121 years ago. Albert Einstein published a paper on the 19th century. Nobody cares. What do I I mean just cut down that is Secretary his Secretary of Energy Just cut down. He wanted to make a big distinction about how important this EU, this EO, is about to be, and the president just cut him off.

You could tell, imagine what he's like in meetings. You got to get to the point. You got to be precise. You got to be concise.

So I don't think, I think he definitely likes him. I just think that at that moment he could think of nothing else, and the whole room cracked up. It was pretty essential, pretty cool to see, but it's real. I mean, that's one thing you're never, what people don't realize, and we're going to be talking about this in 2029. Constantly.

Trump is out there every day. Reporters have a cell phone, anchors have a cell phone, friends have a cell phone, and call him. And he's giving them information every day, and then he'll bring the press in every day, and then he makes big decisions every day, and he pushes back every day, and you go ahead and berate lawmakers in front of them, and then you have your staff in front of you all the time. All these things take place on a regular basis. in the Trump administration.

You're never going to have that again. Nobody could handle it. Nobody would want it. It's too risky. Because you remember how close you have to hold your thoughts and words to your vest.

Remember, George W. Bush put an editorial out there or somebody put an editorial out there talking about three words, three words that talked about Iraqi WMD. And these three words were debated forever. You know how many words Donald Trump uses on a daily basis that people could take the wrong way, that people think is a big deal? The other thing I did is I talked to.

My Gray Pool Guy Steve Hildebrand who's been putting pools and his family's been put in pool for probably 40 years. And I asked him about the reflecting pool. And he said there's no way automatically there's algae in there. If the phosphates are high, there's an excellent chance. that people poured it in there.

And he's the best in the business. And the president says five people been arrested on the reflecting pool. And personally, he doesn't see how anybody... Could pull up spices. of the bottom of the aflario collecting pool unless it was sliced.

It doesn't just pop up. in pieces. Chip Roy's on when we get back. Brian, kill me, chill. That's all of the pool talk I have for today.

Don't worry. Um The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead. My focus is on winning the House for the Democrats. I'm focusing on making Japanese people.

We're watching closely. Two open seat races. That House Democratic leadership hasn't gotten involved in. I never said we're united as a party. The challenge for us, and I'm optimistic about our prospects, is that we get people who've been elected around the country, we come up with a coherent agenda that's totally focused on helping everyday people be able to pay their bills.

So these are just questions on Capitol Hill asking people, you know, who you for? You're for Mondami, you're Keem Jeffrey.

So I'm not saying who are you for Trump or Kamala Harris. With our reporters just asking, you can't have it both ways. Because you just got rid of Dan Goldman, a double-digit loss, who was as bad against Trump, I think. As Jamie Raskin and Adam Schiff. And that wasn't left enough, I think, because he's Jewish.

I mean that's your party. And then you have socialists who went to bed with the Islamic extremists who not only hate Israel. Kind of hate our country. Want to abolish, get this, abolish prisons. Can you believe this?

Chip Roy can't. That's why he will never move to New York. That's just my hunch. Congressman Chip Roy joins us now. Congressman, welcome back.

I mean, there's no way a Democrat can't be forced to make a decision. You got to tell me what side of the party you're on. Yeah, Brian. I mean, you know, look at a joke. I mean, I love New York City and spent a lot of time there in my youth.

A good buddy of mine had played football for the Giants, Tiki Barber, a buddy from UVA. I think to go up there all the time as an investment banker, and it's a great city, but it's just getting freaking ruined. And that's the problem. And to your point, and you saw what happened with Dan Goldman. I'm glad you brought that up.

I've been bringing it up a lot the last two days, that this guy was crazy, right? Anti-Trump, impeachment lawyer. I've smart with him in the judiciary, and that guy lost $65.35 because of where the Democrat Party is going, and in particular, where it's going in New York. And, you know, this is why we've got to keep our eye on the prize. This is why the president cares about the SAVE Act.

This is why we're trying to move things here to solidify our country, hold and freeze the immigration from countries that want to do us harm. And this is why I introduced the PAWS Act. It's why we're working on all of these things, the Momdani Act, to try to denaturalize people that are at odds with our country. But anyway, these are all things we're trying to work through. We got to get the Senate Republicans to help us finish the job here and get some stuff done.

But, you know, I couldn't agree more. Chip, no one's more determined to pass things that you believe in than you, right? But if I'm Jon Thune. What is he supposed to do? McConnell's not budging.

Murkoski's not budging. Rand Paul's not budging. I think Collins might, I forgot I'm getting differing things from her, not budging. I don't think, I'm not sure what Cassie's doing, but about four Republicans won't budge, and that's still not enough.

So it's still not enough with Fetterman, so he's still sick short.

So what Democrat have you known is in anything compliant? Outside John Fetterman with what Trump or what you want.

Well, a couple of points here. Number one, I have not I have purposely not tried to throw aspersions at the majority leader because of what you just described. He's navigating a tough climate where he's got to manage three to five to six people to try to build the coalition in the majority. That being said, a couple points. Rand, first of all, there was a vote.

Mike Lee has pointed this out. We did have a vote on the Save America Act and the version that was the House version, which is the voter ID coupled with the citizenship stuff. And I'm obviously the author of the bill. And that did get 50 votes.

So you have 50 plus the tiebreak from JD. We do have the votes on the substance.

So the core question for the majority leader is how do you force this through? And our point is just simply, look, if you have the willpower to do it, like they did in the Civil Rights Act, let's remember, I mean, Brian, you're a student of history and you know the complex here at the Capitol. The Russell Senate office building, Georgia Southern Democrat Richard Russell was opposed to the Civil Rights Act. Everett Dirksen, Republican, worked with Democrat Mike Mansfield. The Dirksen Senate Office Building is another building.

Mike Mansfield is a room in the Capitol. These are all rooms that the current senators are all part of or in their offices. Guys use the talking filibuster process. They work through through two, three months. We're forcing them to stay on the bill and burn through it all until they built a coalition to pass the bill.

So, our view is that you grind that out and that you force the vote. And look, if the majority leader doesn't want to do that, then I think it's incumbent upon the majority leader to figure out how we can accomplish the objectives in front of us when we do have 50 senators who support the substance.

So, if you got to tweak the rules, if you got to modify the rules, so be it. Because you and I both know when Democrats reclaim the House, the Senate, and the presidency, I mean, God forbid, they will nuke the filibuster to pass, you know, make D.C. a state, make Puerto Rico a state, to pack the court. And by the way, one final point: I'm a student of, look, I worked in the Senate. You know this, you and I go way back.

I was Ted Cruz's chief of staff. I was a lawyer in the Senate. I'm not interested in totally transforming the Senate. I like having cooling saucer tools. I like to slow down bad bills, but they have to earn it.

We've just defaulted to the 60-vote threshold, which is fake, and we're going to lose the country hiding behind something that's not in the Constitution, it's not in law. It's solely the tradition of the Senate, and they can change that tradition by ensuring that you have to go earn it by talking on the floor of the Senate. That's my advice to the leader.

Okay, I'm not for blowing up the filibuster because you are a guy, a law and order guy. I just think the Senate you really should be earning some type of support. I was abhorred that they tried to do it last time. I'm not saying you're wrong that they would try to do it again, but my hope is there'll always be a mansion of cinema of Fetterman to stop it. They would add two states, pack the court.

And get rid of the Electoral College. Because you know it's wrong, right? You know what's wrong, get rid of the filibuster. But just because they think they're going to do it, but I also think you're looking at a party that's so away from the mainstream Republicans, mainstream American, not Republicans, mainstream Americans. I think they're far off from getting back the White House because what they believe is a repellent, I think, for the common sense people in our country.

And I just don't want to be the one to do something that's going to give us whiplash as a country. Every executive order will now be a law. It's going to be like everything. That the the Republic Democrat president wants will be a law. Everything the Republican president wants will be a law.

And everything's going to get snapped back as soon as the election flips. I don't think that's great for the country. Couple points, because I think we're kind of agreeing and talking a little bit in a circle about it. My point is to preserve the cooling saucer of the Senate, to preserve the filibuster. It is my view that you have to move off of the default 60-vote threshold.

I'm okay with a 60-vote threshold to turn off debate. If you have 60 votes, great, turn off debate. But if you have something that a majority of the Senate wants, then over some period of time, forcing them to go to the floor of the Senate and debate, once they've burned up all of their debate time, then you should be able to move it. That's all I'm saying. Preserve the filibuster, but make them earn it.

That's literally all I'm saying. And by the way, with the presidency, I agree with you. They are back crap crazy. I hope they won't reclaim the presidency. We've got a good bench, J.D., Marco, Ted Cruz, Ronda Sanders, all these great guys.

And I think we're in good shape for 28 if we deliver. But I want to remind, I don't need to remind you, but remind your listeners, out of 100 and what, 20 million or whatever votes cast, 130, what are we, was it maybe 300,000 votes that decide the election? Whatever it is in Pennsylvania, closed state.

So we've got to. That's why the SAFE Act matters. It matters to the president for a reason.

So we're working on it. And by the way, I want to make clear: all of my anger is directed towards Democrats who are blocking doing the right thing. I'm not trying to put a crosshairs on that's a bad analogy, but a target on Jonathan or anybody else. I'm trying to focus on, yes, I want Senate Republicans to deliver. It is Democrats who failed to deliver on an 80% issue.

It is Democrats that forced us to end run them using reconciliation to fund ICE and Border Patrol. They are forcing us to find every way possible to pass things because they refuse to work with us.

So let's just, you know, I think we should all remember that.

So, Congressman Chip Ray, our guest, obviously, Congressman, has any Democrat walked up to you and said, if you just give me voter ID, I'm in? Or, you know, the mail-in ballots, for example, Oregon, I think, has never had anything but mail-in ballots.

So if we get rid of mail-in ballots, There's certain states that actually do mail and write. Florida counts on the same day. You know, could there be, could you ever go up to it? Is there any Democrats that you know of? It would be the Senate side that say, if you just give me this and get rid of trans.

Uh men and women's sports, we do that another time. I'll pass it. Does anyone say I'll work with some text?

So two things for everybody out there, because it gets confusing. There are two versions.

So there's the Save America Act that we passed out of the House, and that only focuses on voter role, citizenship, and voter ID. The president wanted those other things added, as you talked about, men and girls' bathrooms and sports, and then the issue of mail-in ballots, which, by the way, I support all those policies. But so that was added in a version that I think Eric Schmidt filed in the Senate. The president said he wants that version, and I respect that. I want all those policies too.

I don't think that version can probably move through the Senate. The one that we've got 50 votes on is the House Passed Save America Act. And to your question, yes, there are Democrats that, if you privately talk to them, will tell you that they support voter ID. They are unified in trying to thwart the President and thwart us having a successful passage of this Bill, that I think they will continue to hide behind their fake talking points that women will get disenfranchised and all of that. Because I think Hakeem has decided I'm going to throw everything I had at this and I'm going to hold Democrats together to oppose it.

If we had a clean vote on just voter ID, we probably could break the back of them. But then you don't get any of the fixes to the voter rolls and ensuring that only citizens are voting, right? Because a lot of states will give IDs to non-citizens.

So we're going to try to keep working to fight through it. But I got to be honest with you, a lot of my Democrat colleagues, look, I've worked with them on a congressional stock trading ban, a couple of other issues. But man, right now they're locked in and they're just. They're trying to stop and forth the president between now and November. But they did do the housing bill.

They did. They did now partly. I mean, look, I'm one of the ones who voted against the housing bill because they had to buy the Democrat votes. It has a whole bunch of spending on Section 8 housing and public housing.

So that, you know, I couldn't support that. There were some good people like French Hill did a great job, Republicans fighting to try to get some of the streamlined permitting and other things that are better. But, you know, to buy those Democrat votes, it was expensive.

So that's part of the problem in working with Democrats right now. Congressman, you have this guy, James Tallarico, running for Senate that people say is the golden child. For example, I like Westmore. Man, he's so impressive. Look at his background.

Turns out his biography is half fiction. And then you have Beto Rourke. Wow, what charisma? He's going to be the next president. And then we find out he's made of paper-mâché and he loses twice.

And then you have James Tallarico. Look at the talent. Look at how eloquent he is. But then we find out things about his background, how many genders, them wearing, you know, what his thought was during the pandemic. Then this emerges from 2021, Cut 28.

I always think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity. And like, I always get drawn back into it. It's very strange every time I think about it that the most popular figure in our country, particularly on the conservative right, is this, you know. Um Socialist anarchist from ancient Palestine. That's how he describes Jesus.

So is that going to help him?

Socialist anarchist. I mean, it really is astounding. And, you know, to say you hate Christianity. And, you know, he's going to say, well, you know what I mean? I love Jesus, but I really don't like the modern church or whatever.

He's going to come up with all these things, try to make excuses for his just radical ideology that is dramatically out of step with Texans, of course.

Now, having said that, Brian, like, we've got to work it to win the election. Like, you know, because the media is not going to help us. You know, Tall Rico is going to run a lot of polished commercials. And, you know, look, a lot of voters, you know, they get mail, they get commercials, and they vote based on that. They're not fully informed, right?

Your listeners, you and me, 5% of the electorate, we eat, live, read, sleep this stuff. We pay attention.

So, yes, I expect Ken Paxton and others to run ads with all of these clips of him saying crazy things, but you got to get it through and seep in. I mean, it gets into. Independents, Democrats, and all Republicans, and we got to turn people out.

So we've got to work it. We've got to raise money. We got to work it. We can't assume anything. And by the way, there are other Senate seats that we got to look at: North Carolina, Ohio, Alaska, Iowa.

You know, these are all seats we're going to have to go fight for. And, you know, it seems crazy, but we're going to have to do it. And some of them are currently showing dead heats or even behind.

So we've got a lot of work to do to retain the Senate and the House so we can deliver alongside the president. I mean, the thing is, his presidency is not going to get one person confirmed if they lose the Senate. And the House is still gettable, partly because the Democrats have put so many crazy people up. But Tallarico, in particular, I mean, this guy is just a bizarre guy. Listen to this: cut 29.

There have been attacks on your masculinity, on lies about your sexuality. Paxton has even begun to call you low T Tallarico. What's your response to that? Honestly, I had to look up what that meant. I don't think guys my age are really concerned about that kind of thing.

Is that an area that needs to be plowed? I mean, they seem to be calling Tefrico. uh all types of different nicknames for him. Is any of that landing? You're in Texas.

Well, you know, I remember there was something that caught a little bit that landed in a similar vein. Was, you know, he put out this picture of him driving a pickup truck with this non-broken in hat where he just looked so staged, where, you know, he's clearly not, you know, he's just like he's a rancher or something. And I think, you know, he's going to try to project. It's like this whole thing with barbecue. It's like, oh, I love barbecue.

He's just not. Texan, right? He's not, you know, you know, and he'll say, well, I'm seventh generation. I'll say, well, okay, whatever, but that's not, that does, that's not what makes you Texan. Like Davey Crockett and Sam Houston, they weren't born in Texas, but they are Texan because you're fighting for what you believe in and standing up for, you know, the things that my great-great-grandfather was, a Texas Ranger, Brian.

And, you know, fighting Comanches in the 1870s, I mean, you know, you got to earn it. And that's the kind of Texans that we want to have leading. And Tal Rico's not bad. I think this stuff is going to shine through. But again, you can take nothing for granted.

We've got to get it in front of voters and we've got to have turnout. Yeah, I mean, there's Iowa's going to be tough. This is going to be tough. Keeping Ohio is going to be tough.

So this is going to need a lot of money, but you guys do have a lot more money than the DNC. Thanks so much, Chip Roy. Congressman, thanks so much. Appreciate it. Thanks, Brian.

God bless you. Appreciate you, brother. Happy birthday to America next week. Absolutely. Hope to see you in Washington.

Back in a moment. Where big stories meet bigger conversations. Stay informed and energized with the Brian Kilmead Show. The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead.

Sponsored by Previgen. Previgen made for your brain. I think it matters tremendously for the mentality, the psyche, and most importantly, the momentum for this team that has grabbed a hold of the imagination of America to continue that, to continue to bring people into the tent, to continue to prove that they are worthy of our time. It's also an opportunity for a lot of these players that maybe haven't been starting to get their opportunity in the World Cup and for history. We've never won all three games in group stage.

I'm a greedy man here, Brian. I want all three wins. I want us to make a mistake. make some history and then go in with all of that momentum. And after watching Mexico play last night, they also did not need to win.

Saw how well they played in a very tight game with the Czech Republic. I think they have a new name now, but it was a really good game. I mean, it was really fun to watch. And. I just think that Watching them play as hard as they can and not worry about anything, and then score three goals in the second half, that has to be the message that Puncha Chino tells his team.

The other thing I just selfishly want to see is how deep they are because there's going to be a tomorrow, win or lose, go to the finals, whatever it is, they're going to have to change out, especially, you know, you got guys like Tim Reem, 38 years old.

So people are going to age out of this. How good are these other guys? And when else are you going to get to see them play together? And man, wouldn't it be great? You have 26 men on the roster, you play 11 at a time.

I'm not saying sub the goalie, you got to keep Matt Freest sharp. But wouldn't it be great to see these other players say, look at me, and then see how deep they are, and then the coach gets a look at what players can be counted on in the clutch.

Next game will be Wednesday against Bosnia.
