The Brian Kilmeade Show

From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. Hi everyone, so glad you're there. Brian Kilmey Chow coming your direction this hour. We're going to be joined by Dennis Ross just standing by.

Now, keep in mind, if you ever want to catch the show, do what everyone's doing. Go to YouTube, youtube.com slash at the Brian Kilmey Chow.

So if you can't listen live or you want to review some of the stuff or you only heard two days this week ago, at the end of the day, we put the show on and we put certain clips on there of other things I do throughout the day.

So everybody's talking about the YouTube channel. And let's get to the big three. Number three. And now they've pushed an individual like El Syed that's been very proud of his very deeply anti-Israel views. He put this situation where a Michigan that could have been a more of a safe seat, we are gonna have to defend that.

Some Dems pushing back on socialists and the anti-Semitism. Why is the leadership too scared to do the same? Number two. They believe they can, time is on their side and they'll ride this thing out as best they can. Their intention number two as we get closer to the midterms is likely to increase violent and aggressive activity.

Waiting game with Iran and the U.S. as oil becomes the key weapon over bombs and region as the region waits, watches, and sweats while looming it over all of this in the U.S. The midterms. Number one. We look at our power rankings, Roger.

These are the races. There's Alaska, Iowa, Maine, and Ohio that are in the toss-up category, but we've got North Carolina and Georgia and Michigan and New Hampshire leaning blue. And that is true. We'll see what that means overall for who controls the Senate. Initial polls are in, and matchups settle in, and key states and both sides have reason for concern and hope.

The one thing that looming over the whole midterms, while we do talk about inflation and it matters, it goes right back to the war in Iran, and now we're in a holding pattern as both sides tried to outweigh the other. Who's got the advantage? Let's ask Ambassador Dennis Ross, William Davidson Distinguished Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, author of Statecraft 2.0. Ambassador, welcome back, Dennis. Great when you join us.

Who's got the advantage right now? It's such a good question because the problem is both sides think they have the advantage and obviously they both can't be right. The Iranians right now think that time is on their side because we will inevitably become impatient. And they have different ways to kind of manipulate threats.

So you're seeing it right now with the Houthis. Even though the Houthis are not what I would say. A pure instrument for the Iranians. They have their own reasons right now which the Iranians can exploit. To put as much pressure on Saudi Arabia as possible.

On the one hand, the Saudis have a blockade of their port of Hudaidah. On the other hand, they know the Saudis are not keen on being targeted by their drones and their missiles. Uh and if the Saudis are also having a problem exporting On the one hand, and don't want to see an escalation there on the other. And the Iranians can say, okay, not only is the Straits of Hormuz closed, but the Bab domain would say that another, say, 12% of the world's Transit through a global choke point, you know, that that that creates, in their mind, more pressure on us. From the s from the I think the President's standpoint right now, when he says we're going to low kid, Uh and you hear the the Secretary of the Treasury talk about how how crumbling their economy is.

The view is the Iranians can't possibly hold out longer. Their economy is literally in collapse. The problem is that You have a regime that is led by those who don't care how much their people suffer. And they have built what they see as a survivalist economy, a resistance economy. And yes, they'll make they'll squeeze their people tighter.

It in my mind, it weakens the regime over the long term. But in the near term, They can survive.

So, the question is. Who we come back to who has the advantage? My guess is We have the advantage only if only if we're really patient. And I will say this. if we're really patient and they become more and more squeezed, the Iranians will look for other ways to build the pressure.

even through military means, but most likely Against our friends, who they then count on to put friends, like Saudi, to put pressure on us.

So we have to be, if we're gonna be strategically patient, We also have to maintain a military presence that is designed to deter and to contain. If we stick to that kind of a strategy, we will have an advantage, but it requires us. to have the kind of patience which we haven't demonstrated throughout this conflict.

Well we're still there, and after briefly opening up the strait, we sealed it again.

So, and they say we have more military assets in the area than we had at the beginning of Effici Fury too.

So this is what General Jack Keem predicts will happen. Everything that you said, but he thinks Iran's going to change tactics as we get closer to the midterms, cut 20. They believe they can, time is on their side, and they'll ride this thing out as best they can. I believe that is their intention number one. Their intention number two, as we get closer to the midterms, is likely to increase violent and aggressive activity, believing that the administration will not react to it in any consequential way because it'll drive up oil prices prior to the election.

That would be a fundamental miscalculation on their part, once again, because the president has lots of tools in his hands here, and he can retaliate and likely would very aggressively retaliate regardless of the midterm election. And that was him with me just a half hour ago on Fox and Friends. But Dennis Ross, I'm not a military expert, but I did talk to the military expert. And one of the big reasons why we didn't go in two weeks ago was the Gulf states. They called up the President, they have a lot of sway with him and say, we're really concerned, we don't have enough interceptors to block, we're worried about the desalinization plants, worried about the oil, less about the bases.

And the President says, okay, I'll hold off for now.

However, there's a military plan out there that would hit them so hard, along with the IDF, that there's a chance that we won't need as many interceptors as we have over the last few months. Having said that, that's a bit of a gamble. I'm giving you those facts.

Now tell me what you think. Yeah. Look, I think there's a fundamental question I have, and we would need an answer to the question I'm about to pose. How much do the Iranians still have in terms of missiles? The drones are easier to deal with.

The ballistic missiles are harder to deal with. If I knew that we could basically destroy ninety percent Of their ballistic missiles and their inventory.

Now, this includes the short range, not just the long range. But if we were in a position where we could destroy 90% of the ballistic missiles and 90% of the launchers, then the Gulf states themselves would know you don't need so many interceptors. And they would say, under those circumstances, Go ahead and do that because you're reducing the character of the threat to something we no longer have to fear. That should have, as you know, Brian, I've said this from the beginning, that should have been our priority from the very beginning. You know, we had two different kinds of objectives.

The most important objective was to make it increasingly impossible for the Iranians to threaten their neighbors with military force. Had that been our exclusive focus, had that been what we and the Israelis were both doing, so that we were weakening their ability to use missiles, drones, cruise missiles, we would have put ourselves in a position where fundamentally the Iranian ability to threaten others would have been dissipated to the point where others didn't need to fear it. What you're describing about the phone call from the from from MBS and from others from the Gulf was We can't afford to lose desalinization plants. We can't afford to have our most important oil infrastructure destroyed, which depend on specialized parts that could take six to twelve months to repair. We can't afford that.

But if it turns out that they understand that basically the Iranian ability to threaten has been so reduced, the combination of their inability to threaten offensively, except with only with small numbers, and our ability under those circumstances for even limited numbers of interceptors to be effective, that combination would put us, basically give us a winning hand. But I come back to the question I posed. I don't know what the reality is of what they have left, how much we can over say seven to ten days, how much we could weaken it further, how much they could still get through. If it turns out that these are countries that hugely depend on desalinization plans, If those things are put out of commission, You know, you're talking about country losing their access to water. There's nothing more fundamental.

By the way, one of the most fundamental failings of the Iranian regime is their shortage of water, their mismanagement of it.

So it's, you know, there are points of leverage we have, but it really comes back to how much can we really diminish the character of what they can threaten offensively. A couple of things. They buried a lot, much more than we thought. And they pulled it out. But we've been watching everything.

We've gone to school over the last five months. This is my hunch. From talking to the people that they've been seeing, they can hear what they're talking about, they watch where they drive. And we see what they're doing militarily: what's being rebuilt, what's being taken out, what's being unveiled. And they do send out rockets.

And they have been attacking two ships yesterday, and they attack our bases a bunch of times.

So we see where those rockets and missiles come from.

So I feel like we're more equipped now. that makes some substantial damage. And I think we could both take a step back and realize, after all these years and you being in this region, studying this region, talking to the players for decades, he's the first president to take military action against them. Ever. No please.

But look, he I go back to what he did last June. He took away their sense of impunity. That every administration, including his first one, Even though he kills Suleimani. there was still a reluctance to attack them directly.

So for for basically the entirety of the Islamic Republic's life. We every single administration, Republican and Democratic alike, has been reluctant to attack them directly. They built up proxies because they don't care how many proxies get defeated or get killed. But they cared about being attacked directly.

Now, the one who cared most about that was Ali Khamenei, the former supreme leader. By taking him out, we actually reduced their sense that they had much to lose.

So again, I come back to I think we made a mistake in terms of having not having a clear objective. The question now, in my mind, is. If we have learned enough. And if we could attack what even this group of leaders and this is a group of leaders dominated by the Revolutionary Guard, those who have just been elevated, he's the Supreme Leader. I don't know much about what we're I think he's alive.

I don't know how much in control he is, but there have been new appointments that were made this week. They're all old guard. They're all Revolutionary Guard. uh that go back together to the Iran-Iraq war.

So they've been in it a long time. They include those who have not had the slightest qualm about massacring their own people.

So they we shouldn't underestimate we shouldn't underestimate them at all in terms of their ability to To see things through a revolutionary lens on the one hand, a readiness to impose on their own public on the other. A belief that they can outlast us. The only thing that might affect them is if they saw the tools that give them the means of control, the tools that give them the means to threaten, are being so weakened to the point that that in itself becomes a threat to their survival. I got to bring you to the situation in Gaza. It looks like they, Hamas, you just stopped me when you feel so you can't verify that.

But it looks like they have admitted they can't. They can't run Gaza, got it, but they have not disarmed, so Israel is not moving out. Hamas's leader, Khalid Mishau, has been sending the message to the Gazans, Hamas, that they've done their part in contributing to the Palestinian cause and paid the heaviest price and should now be allowed to recover and heal. And there is indications they're going to be giving up their weapons.

So at that time, the question comes: if they do give up their weapons, Israel's got to move out of there. Number one, do you think they will? And do you think Israel will? I think that Hamas always plays the game. They have for a long time, they have been willing to give up civilian responsibility, but not their weapons.

Now there's a fifteen point plan that has been negotiated in which they commit to a decommissioning over a period of about eight months. When I say decommissioning, it's not destruction. It's being it would be handed over to What is known as the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, which is a group of fifteen Palestinians who are technocrats, many of whom, by the way, I know. who I think are quite authentic, who I think have Palestinian interests. most prominently at heart.

They don't have a military force. They don't have a police force. There's supposed to be an international stabilization force that's going to come in, involves right now about two hundred Moroccans. I think the key here is There is a need for a step-by-step approach, but the most important thing is to have really effective monitoring. Who is going to be monitoring what they're doing?

What are the weapons that are actually being decommissioned? They're being stored under the auspices of this. National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, but with an international stabilization force that's also there to monitor this and to be protecting, for ensuring that there's no access to these weapons. Hamas will play every game you can imagine, just like the Iranians. They will try to buy time.

I mean, the question really becomes: is the monitoring effective? Do they have no access? If that's the case, if this really turns out to be something that Is not a game by them, which the Hamas specializes in, then the Israelis do have to withdraw. It's not in Israel's interest. I want to say one thing which I haven't really said before to you.

Israel is suffering from trauma. It's almost as if the country is suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome. And that has an effect it creates among the military. The IDF has a sense of profound guilt over what happened on october seventh.

So they now look at wanting to have buffer zones. You can understand the logic of it. The problem with it is When you're in a buffer zone, you're stuck there forever. if you have local partners who are committed To ensuring for their own interests that there's not going to be a threat to you, it's in your interest to empower them. That's true in Gaza.

That's true in Lebanon. This tension between wanting a buffer zone for understandable reasons given October 7th, but the fact that it ends up undermining the very partners that you need so you don't have to be in a buffer zone, how you square that circle is difficult, but this is where we come in. This is where we can play the role. This is where we can give a level of reinsurance. This is where, in a sense, we help the Israelis overcome what is that trauma over time And you merge with local partners who ultimately are the best guarantee, not because they love the Israelis, but because they love themselves.

Very well said. Ambassador Dennis Ross, and we know Jared Kushner is going to go visit this week and look to see where that plan is at. And he's one of the architects. Dennis Ross, thanks so much. Appreciate it.

Always a pleasure, Brian.

If you're interested in it, Brian's Talking About It. You're with Brian Kilmead. Hey, welcome back. I want to go along with Ambassador Ross, but man, he does know his stuff. I just can't tell you how rare it is to know somebody that knows all the leaders in the region.

You have pro-Israel, pro-Arab, you have anti-Israel, you know, who tend. They don't protest to anti-Israel, but you could tell they're not fans. And you just kind of factor that in when you get their questions. But with Dennis Ross, He knows exactly. He was there with the Oslo Agreement.

He was there when the Camp David Accords. He was there to see Bill Clinton sacrifice his whole presidency for it. He saw the tensions with Barack Obama there, and he worked with George W. Bush. You know, and that's the one thing Tony Blair I remember saying, Look, I'll help you with a rack.

But you gotta help get a lasting peace plan with Israel. And they tried, and Dennis Royce was one of the people trying. That's why when we have them on, I just try to make the questions as short as possible and get out of the way because he works his contacts to find out what's next. And he's very intrigued that the president's forcing things to come to a head. Making things happen.

So instead of saying that we have a problem, he's addressing the problem. Did you know Fox News has a wine shop? Did you also know you can get ahead and start on your Christmas shopping?

We're back.

So, this has been a very interesting primary season. I remember a time in which I've been more intrigued about primaries. And usually, I'm intrigued when the matchups happen, but I'm very, this is the first time with the rise of socialism and these wacky candidates on the left from Grand Platinum, who's, by the way, coming back to campaign. Are you crazy? Do you know how defamed he is from the problems?

He was losing by six points to Susan Collins, who always polls poorly. And then you have all his ex-girlfriends coming forward, one of which has come out already when she heard that Grant Platten was coming back again. This guy puts himself in legal jeopardy, but is there anyone in Maine who wants to see it? Or if I'm a candidate in Maine, do you want to see him by your side or introducing you or making a speech? That's how clueless he is, the fake oyster farmer.

But some polls are out in Michigan.

So we're, as you know, Abdul El-Syed has won on the Democratic side, barely.

So they just said, how would he do against Mike Rogers? Mike Rogers, very well known in Michigan, longtime congressman, FBI guy, military background, who barely lost to Elise Slotkin last time. He's got to be happy with the first polls.

Now, Mike Rogers did not really run many ads. He didn't have to. He's not primary this time. He didn't have to blow all his money. He said against Slotkin, by the time he wins his primary against all those other contenders, he had almost no money.

So now that's the problem on the left. They have almost no money. And Mike Rogers just kept they're throwing money at Rogers now because they want him to flip that seat. This is what it's in. From August 6th to August 10th, they pulled registered voters.

And these voters went with Rogers 51-47, as it also asked what the most important issues were when it comes to. What you're voting for, and number one was inflation, and you know, number three and four. Was the Iran war. It's kind of interesting. But on the governor's side, John James is trailing 5247 at Jocelyn Benson.

John James is extremely well known, very successful businessman, West Point grad, good congressman, very pro-Trump, but a real great African-American success story. Grew up poor, raised by fantastic parents, and you see everything he's accomplished. I believe this guy can close the gap. I mean, certainly within striking distance. But for Rogers to be up top early with the president's numbers not that great in a battleground state, I think is significant.

So some of the things going inside those numbers, El Said, They asked people is who's too ex yes, El Saeed is too extreme or very concerned. El Saeed being too extreme, 54% of those answering this survey said yes. Rogers too close to Trump, 51%.

So that's looked at as a negative, which is always with the Lame Duck Presidents, by the way, continuing to provide military aid to Israel. Forty four percent of Michiganders say yes, fifty five percent oppose.

So even though I'm one hundred percent you make sure that Israel gets everything they need, Mike Rogers should Basically, be street smart when it comes to that because you don't want to alienate. Um still back it when you get the job, but you just don't want to alienate people and force them. Force them to make a decision.

Now, I'm going to tell you the bad news for Republicans, and it's happening in Ohio. It's still early. I say that on both sides. But for the Senate seat in Ohio, He was J.D. Vance's final two years, and John Usted was put there by the Republican governor.

But now there's an election for his final two years. And Sherrod Brown, who lost to Bernie Moreno after staying there forever and thought to be a presidential contender, was convinced to make a comeback. And right now it looks good for him with a plus-minus ratio of margin of error of three. Brown's got a 53-45 leave over John Usted, who we've interviewed here a lot. He's very impressive.

He's just got to get his name ID up in a very red state.

Now it looks like Vivek Ramaswamy, after trailing by a few points to Amy Acton, 50-49 in June. Here we are in middle August. And Ramaswamy is up by two, which shows the race is yet to be won or lost.

So. What are they actually going on? I'm telling you about these DSA or DSA adjacent. Candidates One just lost, Hung, just lost in Wisconsin for the governorship. Has a lot to do.

The only person really supporting Hung, because she's such a whack job, was Hassan Piker. Who's the big time Twitch? Streamer, he's a stream on multiple platforms, has a three million dollar mansion in Los Angeles, but wants everyone else to live in socialism communism.

So, Hassan Piker, this is the headline in the story in the Wall Street Journal today. Essentially, Hassan Piker is driving Democrats, Democrats, up a wall. And here's a poll from that. He goes, I'm rude, Piker said matter-of-factly, and I will sometimes bully bullies, right? But I will much rather be someone who's not super well put together.

Someone who doesn't abide by civility, but is on the right side of history. My goodness. If socialism, Marxism, If China's form of government that you worship is our history, we're all doomed.

So, you gotta decide if this is what you want.

Now, you wanna know who Hassan Piker is? I could tell you. But why don't you hear it in his own words? Here are some of the things that Hassan Piker has said in the past, CUD 27. I was a Dong is one of the great leaders of.

Of this world, the fall of the USSR. Was one of the greatest catastrophes of the 20th century. We must end the American Empire. America deserved 9-11, dude. I'm saying it.

If you cared about Medicare fraud or Medicaid fraud, you would f. Rick Scott. Yeah, kill them. Kill those motherfuckers. Murder those motherfuckers in the street.

Let the streets... Let the streets soak in their fing red capitalist bloods. That's the guy that Abdul El Syed campaigned with on the last day to eke out a victory in that Senate race. Why would anyone go on that podcast? Why would anyone be associated with him?

But RoConna, AOC, both been on the podcast. I don't know if Bernie Sanders has, but he hasn't disavowed him at all. You wonder what's going on here. Senator John Fetterman. Pulls no punches.

He flat out says that Hassan Piker is a problem and that El Syed. Is a mess. Cut 29. And after Bernie Sanders and others created the disaster in Maine, and they pushed a garbage person like Plattner, and how they've pushed an individual like El Syed that's been very proud of his very deeply anti-Israel views and proud to campaign with avowed communists overall, and how he put this situation where a Michigan that could have been a more of a safe seat. And now We are going to have to defend that, and that creates more Danger of not being able to reclaim the majority.

And by the way, Fetterman comes out there, and El Syed has just said two weeks ago. That Fetterman's one guy, if he gets in, he will look to primary him and put his head on a pike. And therefore, scare off anybody else who won't be as liberal and as radical as him if he gets into the Senate.

So think about what Fetterman is saying.

Now everyone's got to pour money in for this guy that he hates and despises to get into the Senate. I mean, I think if Rodgers runs a campaign on just the ads that El Syed has and the things on El Syed has said in his ads. And he ends with He went. He wins because he's so experienced. You're not asking a businessman to make a transition.

You're not asking somebody to get credibility. Everybody knows he could do the job. Everyone knows he's not a radical. He got along with people in Congress. He gets along with people on the other side.

He's been in broadcasting for a while. He's not going to make any big mistakes.

So the big mistake to me is Democrats letting Bernie Sanders in in 2016. He has not done nothing but upend the party since. And then you got him angry because you made sure he didn't win, even though it looked like he had the momentum. And now this DSA as front and center is socialist. I don't really see Bernie Sanders saying this is not me.

He was the first avowed socialist, an independent, that I can remember. who keeps winning in Vermont because they clearly have no standards. This Megan Romer is a real treat. She's one of the co-chairs of DSA, getting millions of dollars. And I know it's outside our borders.

I'd love for people to follow up on that. But if you want to know how wacky she is, Well, I'm just going to bring you through an interview that she did with the New Yorker and some of the things that and some of the follow-up in these podcasts that she keeps doing now, because I think she thinks she's doing a good job. When asked about foreign policy, because obviously you're anti-American. What does she think, for example, on Russia invading Ukraine, CUP 55. We do not believe in pouring U.S.

money, military weapons into anything. We don't think it makes a better. Anywhere. But Obviously Russia is This oligarchic dictatorship. which is hypercapitalist, and Putin is this crazy right-wing oligarch.

Of course, he is going to make horrific human life ending decisions.

Well, this is precisely why those countries wanted to be in NATO? Yeah. Yes, but why aren't we doing Any amount of actual diplomacy? Why aren't we doing any amount of actual sending actual human beings to talk to human beings and figure out? What I don't understand what kind of diploma there's been all kinds of di diplomacy, however, failed since the beginning of the invasion.

We shouldn't send weapons to the Ukrainians. No.

So just allow Russia to overrun Ukraine entirely? We should be sending huge teams of diplomats. We should be figuring out how to negotiate, how to get Russia off Ukraine's back. We should yes, absolutely.

So, Russia would get off of Ukraine's back by us sending diplomats. I don't think that there is adequate negotiation. I don't think that there has been anywhere near adequate diplomacy.

Okay. David Remnick, and he asking great follow-up questions. Which shows you they're about a sixteenth of an inch deep in terms of understanding policy, send-in diplomacy. The President landed in Alaska with Vladimir Putin. How did that go?

How many times did he sat down with Zelensky? How did that go? How many times did he call Vladimir Putin? How did that go? By the way, Joe Biden did none of that.

He was so mad about the invasion, he wasn't going to talk to him.

So this is how crazy they are. This is the understanding. She keeps doing interviews.

So that means when she goes back to the office, they're saying exact she's saying exactly what they want her to say. This is her. This is them. She's not misspeaking. She's not untrained.

They're happy with these answers. How about what do you do about your big pro, your big anti-Israel? You know that there's no homo there's no tolerance for homosexuality amongst Arabs. Muslims, and certainly not in Palace in Gaza.

So Megan Romer was asked about that, Cut 54. Uh I would not call Hamas queer friendly. I would not say that you can get a lot of social rights when you're under siege. I think that most queer people who have been killed in Palestine have been killed by Israeli bombs.

Okay. Off the what about the ones that are tossed off buildings? I guess they were gonna die anyway.

So here she is talking about Israel and the right to defend himself after the October 7th attack. Remember, she already admitted that she would have protested with this Chavier who won the congressional seat in New York. October 8th, she was protesting Israel, even though they just lost over 1,200 people in the most brutal way possible, with 300 taken hostage, roughly, into Gaza. She said, Oh, yeah, I would have protested Israel October 8th because it would have been inevitable, that attack.

So she was asked about. What's been done in the past, Cut fifty three? Does Israel have the right to defend itself, according to DSA? What is the position that DSA is headed toward here? Is it for a two-state solution?

Is it a binational, one-state solution? What, in fact, is the position of DSA? Yeah, so our position is a free Palestine with the capital in Jerusalem. And so I think that could be safely read as a one-state solution. Accords that were being negotiated at the beginning of the century under the Clinton administration, had the Palestinians accepted it.

You that would have satisfied you. Yeah. Good question. I need to look at what the actual specifics there were. I don't know them off the top of my head.

But so when you say, does each reveal have the right to defend itself? People. Humans, peoples have the right to live in safety, absolutely. But if So she doesn't know what she's talking about. She how could you not know Camp David Accord?

She was they were going to get part of Jerusalem, they were going to get the West Bank and Gaza, and there was going to be a bridge being built to connect both of them. And Yasser Arafat said yes up until the last day and just walked away from that. You know who refuses to condemn Netanyahu, who probably doesn't like him, but every time people say the Palestinians are abused and there's genocide happening. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton's like he basically tried to ruin my presidency.

I spent all this time negotiating, and he said, Yes, where our friend basically said, yeah, if I come back, they'll end up killing me.

So I'm not allowed to give up that fight.

So I'm walking away from the Oslo deal. The best deal that Camp David Accords. Camp David Accords, of course, it said. Uh The Camp David Accords that had originally Egypt recognize Israel's right to exist. It cost Anwar Sadat its life.

And then you have the Accords with Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton was able to work out it in very great detail and a lot of time, was able to work out a deal they walked away from. But you know, our previous guest, Dennis Ross, would tell you all about it. Lastly, about Megan Romer. Here, he is talking about.

Uh more about in this interview. Uh in the New Yorker, cut fifty-six. I think what might have disturbed some people who are watching that Fox clip. There was a certain kind of you know, breezy, yeah, I'm for that, I'm for that, and there was no detail at all. And when you come to an issue like prison abolition, and you say, yep, I'm for that, or defund the police, sure, I'm for that.

It was a little startling.

Now, it might have been the form of the show.

So let's flip the switch here and dig down a little. What do you mean by prison abolition? We've had on this show Michelle Alexander, who wrote The New Jim Crow, and Plenty of people in the Democratic Party, even in the establishment, have rejected. Mass incarceration, and some things have been done to bring it down. What does prison abolition mean to you?

Yeah. So again, let's let's start from first principles, right? What do we need? We need safety. Let's not begin from first principles.

Let's begin from what is to be done, to use a Leninist phrase. No, I mean, I think you have to start from first principles, and that is the core of this. We need community safety. We need people to be safe. We need people to be able to live their lives without fear of being assaulted, without fear of being robbed, without fear of violence.

What. Communities do we know are the safest? It's not communities with cops on every corner. It's communities that have good schools, good jobs, good park systems, good recreation for their teenagers, things like that. Those are the safe communities.

So What is she talking about? She said flat out and didn't re you know, sometimes people are reluctant to be a one-word answer. We listened to it to Blasio last night with Sean Hannity. They want he wanted he wanted to expand, Sean wanted to move through quick. She was perfectly happy to give one word answers to Shannon Bream.

Abolish prisons, abolish cops, abolish ICE. And that's where they stand. I mean, the only person calling him out that's actually in politics seems to be Rahm Emanuel, outside John Fetterman. Don't worry. Oh.

Breaking news. Unique opinions. Hear it all on the Fry and Kill Me Show. You know, last weekend in Chicago, the DSA held a convention. You're not Democrats, you're a separate party.

I'll see you in November. You're living, you're literally beating Democrats. Forget about, not interested in. I am not into turning a blue district midnight blue. It doesn't do anything for a minimum wage.

It doesn't do anything for universal pre-K. It doesn't do anything to give 10 million children who didn't have health care health care.

So I'm not impressed. You are a separate party. You're the Democratic Socialist of America. I'll see you in November on the ballot. You had a party convention?

You are not a Democrat. Listen, I 100% agree. It would be a relief to me as an American. If there will be no DSA, DSA should be getting one or two percent. One or two percent, where people are like, wow, you know, imagine if that third-party candidate wasn't in a race that was too close to call.

That's what I thought they would. When I look at these policies, I just think there's no way this is going to have any residency in America. But in America right now, it does, to the point where Democrats care. By Ground Manual, they aren't too scared. Are speaking up and standing out, but besides Fetterman Van Jones and James Carville, who else?

It's Brian. Hello, Engineer. This is Brian Filmy Cho, coming to you from Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, around the world. Michael Bruckheim is going to be with us at the bottom of the hour. He's a partner at Deep33, which is recently.

closer to $200 million. Deep tech funding, investing in the infrastructure behind all AI across the US and Israel. And that's the type of combination that we need to compete against China. And everybody else that China basically is going to be dragging along. That's another reason to make sure that the fortification between these two allies stay together.

We benefit almost as much as Israel benefits from us, but a lot of people, especially on the left, don't understand that right now. Also standing by Roger Zakheim. Washington Director of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Freedom Foundation and Institute. But before we get to Roger, let's get to the big three. Number three.

And now they've pushed an individual like El Saed that's been very proud of his very deeply anti-Israel views. He put this situation where a Michigan that could have been a more of a safe seat, we are gonna have to defend that.

No question, Senator John Fetterman.

Some Dems pushing back on socialists and anti-Semitism like Fetterman. Why is the leadership like Schumer and Kim Jeffries and Pelosi too scared to do the same? Number two. They believe they can time is on their side and they'll ride this thing out as best they can. Their intention number two as we get closer to the midterms is likely to increase violent and aggressive activity That is General Jack Keene with me an hour ago on Fox and Friends, waiting game with Iran and the U.S.

as oil becomes the key weapon over bombs for now, as the region waits, watches, and sweats. While looming over it all is the midterm elections here in America. Number one. We look at our power rankings, Roger. These are the races.

There's Alaska, Iowa, Maine, and Ohio that are in the toss-up category, but we've got North Carolina and Georgia and Michigan and New Hampshire leaning blue. That is true. Brett Baer weighing in last night. Initial polls are in, and the matchups settle in in key states. And both sides have reason for concern and reason for hope.

Let's bring in Rogers Akheim now.

So, Roger, when you look at the matchups, the one thing Republicans got to feel good about flipping a seat is in Michigan, where early on Rogers on the first poll against El Said is up by four. Are you convinced? That that's a race that Republicans should win. There's no question the Republicans should win that, Brian. All the momentum, all the energy is coming from the Democratic Socialists.

And El Saeed is probably the most capable political talent democratic socialists have, regardless of how he identifies. His policies are just that. And the reason why I think Mike Rogers should win, in addition to the merits and the policies, but the politics alone, is that there's that poll that you're referencing shows that 27%. I believe of non-DSA Democrats are backing Mike Rogers.

So the more Republicans, And Republican candidates come out and hold these candidates, these Democratic candidates, accountable on where they stand vis-à-vis DSA policies. Whether or not they say they're DSA, whether or not DSA backs them, that will help the Republican candidates. No doubt about it. Keep in mind, he's still campaigning with Hassan Piker. He didn't say he's not.

Hassan Piker should be radioactive, blood in the streets of capitalists. The worst thing that ever happened was the Soviet Union collapsing. U.S. deserved 9-11. You don't say that by mistake.

You say that because you mean it. You don't say it's a dumb statement. No, for some of you, that's abhorrent, but you meant it. You don't say that by mistake. Roger Zakheim would never say that by mistake.

Brian Kilme would never say that by mistake.

So I don't believe the retraction. But you have Roe Conna, AOC, and of course, El Saeed going on that podcast.

So this guy thinks he's a power broker. Even the Wall Street Journal says Dem say that he's a problem. What do you think with this personality, this streamer? But to me, Piker and L Said are one and the same. And the party leadership Is knows they're being overturned.

Know that the socialists are steamrolling through the party, they're overtaking the infrastructure. I don't look what happened at Wisconsin, for example, right, with how as an indication that the mainstream or center-left Democrats aren't able to hold this off. I think the more sort of accurate takeaway is that she was really darn close, that it was basically one point away.

So, to me, the momentum of Democratic socialists. Is kind of pushing through, ripping across the country. Middle America, the place where you would have thought it would have been stopped. Whether you're talking about El Said or these other candidates in Minnesota, for example, it's a huge problem. It's liability, I think, ultimately when you get to general elections.

But within the Democratic infrastructure, there's a takeover.

So I want people at home to know that I'm not overstating this guy's radical nature. This is Hassan Piker, Cut 27. Ao Zedong is a is one of the great leaders of Of this world, the fall of the USSR. Was one of the greatest catastrophes of the 20th century. We must end the American Empire.

America deserved 9-11, dude. I'm saying if you cared about Medicare fraud or Medicaid fraud, you would f ⁇ . Rick Scott. Yeah, kill them. Kill those motherfuckers.

Murder those motherfuckers in the street. Let the streets... Let the streets soak in their red capitalist blood. Yep, and if you want to be president, you're going to sit down with that guy? What do you think, Roger?

I mean, he's getting endorsed left and right. I mean, they know they can't stop it. And I'm happy you pointed out The last set of quotes there because the violence, the dark underbelly of democratic socialists is real. I mean, you look at the case, Brian, of Adam Smith. Democratic congressman.

He's the senior Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee. And they are attacking his staff. They are bullying him and his team. They are. Absolutely relentless in the tactics they employ to take over the party infrastructure.

Adam Smith is not a car carrying on a center, you know, left Democrat. This is somebody who is a big Trump critic. But it's not enough for them. And so I think that the emphasis not just on this anti-American set of platforms, anti-constitutional positions, but it's also the tactics they employ, which is really dangerous. It's just like, where's a true leader?

Just say, hey, listen, they shouldn't be in our party. I'm going to work it out. The DNC is with out of money. They're buried in debt. They have to take out a loan on their building in order to support any of these programs.

They blew a lot of their money in runoff elections.

So I want you to hear Keem Jeffries, who wants to be speaker on C-SPAN, when asked, got 30. You've got the Democratic Socialists of America, DSA, with several candidates who are on the ballot headed into these midterm elections. Your thoughts on what that energy, how that represents some of the change that you are talking about that's happening in the progressive wing of your party. Yes, so I think we'll see. You know, what happens in terms of what the...

caucus looks like. on the other side of the midterm election, certainly our focus right now is making sure that we win as many seats as we can in November. Here's what I make a statement. That that's a I mean, come on, you didn't tell me Mitch McConnell wouldn't make a statement. You know that he was speaking out.

You know John Boehner was speaking out, how the the Tea Party drove him crazy and the Tea Party just wanted more fiscal responsibility. The Freedom Caucus didn't want to throw out the Constitution in the U. S. Senate. It's not even close, Brian, but here's what you're...

Getting from Democratic leadership. They think they could obfuscate this. They think they could sort of push this in sort of the shades of gray by calling for some big tent. He's got something coming to him. He's going to have a vote in the event that they win the majority in the House.

on his speakership and it's going to make speaker mccarthy's Uh, you know, vote looks simple by comparison. And he, these are people who are who absolutely do not want him to become Speaker of the House. And if he thinks he can sort of sidestep it or just, you know, say big, big tent will solve this problem, he's got something coming to him. Yeah, I just want you, some people are speaking out. James Carville, for example, cut 35.

I think that these the progressive left, the very tech people, I think they've come up with an AI random stupid idea generator. And I think the stupid idea generator can think of things that humans can't. Like canceling Thanksgiving or being against interracial dating.

So I'm just waiting to the next stupid idea, AI generator that comes out, spits out of that, and probably goes through the humanity faculty at the University of Wisconsin for it after it gets put in a candidate thing. It's crazy.

So if you're a Republican, how do you run against that?

Well, you gotta hold them accountable on each issue. Do you stand for ending blockades, embargoes, and sanctions for Cuba? Iran. That's part of the Democratic Socialist platform. Do you stand against ending the U.S.

war machine and defunding the Department of the War? That is part of their platform. Each and every one, you hold them accountable. I know the vice president is talking about, hey, we got to make sure we put something forward.

Well, I think you should stand by the policies and the outcomes of the Trump administration. I imagine that's what Republicans will want to run on, particularly we're getting some good news in terms of inflation being held at bay right now, prices getting lower, particularly drug prices. But at the end of the day, we got to hold these Democratic socialists accountable for the very platform that they stand for.

So J.D. Vance weighed in on this yesterday, and I want you to get his take on it. I have a little bit of a problem with it, but I want to see if you do. CUP 37. What I would also say is that whilst these things sometimes take a little bit of time, we are already seeing the positive results come from the President's economic policies.

We're seeing trillions of dollars of new investment into this country, which means good middle-class jobs for young people, middle-income people all across our country. We're seeing housing prices finally stabilize. They doubled during the Biden administration. They have finally kind of flatlined during the first year and a half of the Trump administration. We also want to get interest rates down, of course, so that young people can afford a home.

We want people to be able to afford the good things about this wonderful country that we all live in.

So he really went on to about socialism, Cup Thirty Eight. My warning to my fellow Republicans, Will, would be: if we don't get this right, don't blame young people for being sympathetic to socialism. We've got to blame ourselves. And I think what is so unique and refreshing about Donald Trump's economic policies is that it's not the same old economic ideas that you would have heard 30, 40 years ago. He's talking about rebuilding our industrial base, rebuilding the heartland, making our streets safer, making it possible for young people to afford to buy a home.

This is how you stop socialism. You don't stop socialism by throwing slogans at people about the free market. As much as I love the free market, you stop socialism by making people's lives better.

So, your thought about his explanation. Yeah, I mean, I like the first part where the vice president said, I mean, talking about how prices are coming down, the policies are working. He didn't reference the big beautiful bill, Reconciliation 1.0, what we did in terms of the tax reform and making those permanent. Those are all things that have driven, I think, the economy to be really strong and able to sustain the fluctuations we see from the war in Iran and elsewhere. The second part's a little confusing to me.

I kind of liked what they were 40 years ago with President Reagan. I didn't think they were just simply, you know, statements about freedom, but actually real policies behind it. Those ideas have meaning. I think they're relevant today. You know, he said at the end that certainly he loves freedom, loves a free market.

But those ideas... Actually, it can be fashioned in meaningful ways as a matter of policy impacting everyday American lives and sort of blurs the line between where Republicans are and where socialists and communists want to be in terms of the state controlling the means of the production, the state solving the problems of the American people. You and I, Brian, we focus on freedom, individual freedom, individual liberty, creating opportunity for all Americans to thrive. And that's what I would have preferred the vice president talk about. I think Republican can talk about that.

Listen, I don't know how Steve J.D. Vance is in conservative thought. He just recently became a Republican, but I will say this. Just fundamentally, I want to create the ability to give people an opportunity to pursue things. They're not artificially give them money to necessarily pursue things.

I don't think we can create a society for people to live better. We can create policies to allow them to live better. But ultimately, it's got to come from the individual. And I understand people that just because you work hard, it doesn't mean you're going to be successful, but eventually, you're going to get there somehow, some way. And if there are obstacles in there in society that we could knock out of the way to allow people to reach their goal, to make college more affordable and things of that nature, I'm for it.

But to give people an idea that we're going to be giving them money. to do things when we're forty trillion in debt I think is wrong and that's what I'm getting from him.

Well, there is this element of big government Republicans. You know, the new right has that element. Listen, I think the vice president is actually someone who is quite capable at the power of persuasion, of making an argument, of engaging. I think he's right to focus on young people and identify exactly where they're going off the field, right, to see that socialism and government is sort of going to be the answer to your problems. You know, where I come from, I know where you share this view too, is government is not the solution, as Ronald Reagan said.

Government is the problem, and we should create the conditions in our country, in our society, in our economy where people, on the basis of their work, have the opportunity to succeed. I think that's where the vice president lands ultimately. I think it's good that he wants to engage and persuade Americans, but I think he should embrace the ideas of Ronald Reagan, the ideas that economic opportunity and freedom are actually what will advance prosperity for all Americans. I just don't, I don't know how popular this could be, but something in tune of what JFK famously said in his inaugural: is that what your country can do for you, what you could do for your country? I would love to see a politician to be successful by saying I'm going to need you to show grit.

You're going to grind. Nothing's going to be perfect. Things are going to be unfair, but I'm going to need you to grind through it. Find a way to overcome it. You know, whatever the situation is, you know, whether it's being more practical.

The administration is now going to colleges and saying, I don't think we should be financing these degrees. And they're limiting the amount of student loans that people can get to stay keep them out of trouble because sometimes they want their kids to go to Michigan. Michigan costs $95,000. They're getting zero money.

So they take out a myriad of loans for four years. There's no grades now. No grades. And now they have no grades. It's a freshman year.

So everyone knows they're going to be the weakest individuals that graduate from there.

So there are things that you can do. But ultimately, I just want people to understand this is a land of opportunity, not outcomes. Yeah, 100%. And I think, listen, it's about... What President Reagan referred to often is about unleashing the entrepreneurial spirit.

The opportunity, the freedom to make your life the way you want, that government is, if anything, through our constitution, is going to create that lane of opportunity for you that's not going to create hurdles, that's not going to limit your ability to grow and succeed. That's a positive vision. You know, some people want to grind, some people don't. The ones who grind will be successful. The ones who work hard, the ones who have a vision in our country, what's so amazing about it is that if you want to get after it, if you have an idea, if you want to seek an opportunity, we will allow you to get there.

And then with AI, it's more possible than ever. And lastly, I'm up against the break, but Elon Musk is going to be the first trillionaire. You know what? He's that much smarter than me. I mean, he never created something I thought I could do that.

I don't even have his vision, but man, if I could work for one of his companies and learn something and maybe split up on my own afterwards, I'm going to go do it.

So, when you tell me Thomas Edison was rich and Henry Ford was rich, I go, yeah, of course. Look what they did. I hope Benjamin Franklin was rich in his day too. Look what they did. They're better than me.

I cannot have done what they did. And we're all going to benefit for it. I think that's the other piece of it, right? You know, the trillion dollars that Elon Musk will have, think about how much wealth he's creating for everybody else. And that's what I think the socialists clearly don't adopt that point of view.

Sort of this anti-corporatist view that you see on the far right also doesn't appreciate that. But Elon Musk, because he had the opportunity in this country to succeed, to make that wealth, to make those companies, is now benefiting all Americans, the pension holders, the people in those companies, to the industries that are now being created as a result of his innovation. I'm getting yelled at, but it was a great conversation as usual. November 17th, Rogers Atkheim's book comes out, Peace Through Strength. You can pre-order it now.

Thanks so much for listening. We're going to be taking your calls in about 15 minutes, but right now, I want to bring in. Michael Brookheim, he's partner at Deep33. We recently closed a $200 million deep tech funding investment into infrastructure behind AI across the U.S. and Israel.

And if we're going to find a way to beat China, we have to combine with Israel, whose tech center is as productive pound-for-pound as any in the world, and we know what they've already produced. Michael, welcome. What made you feel as though this is an investment you had to get behind? We're just in an absolute unique moment in time, a pleasure to be here, where we're making the largest capital deployments in technology in the history of the world. And the potential for this technology, AI, is just incredibly massive.

And we can think of it as just software researchers in a lab, but really what's underpinning this is compute, energy, physical infrastructure. And I think it's the generational opportunity to get behind that. What companies have impressed you? Where are you putting your investment in? Uh So as an early example, there's a company called Hut8, which is now a public company.

It started off as a Bitcoin miner and is one of the largest data centers in the United States. We are also investors in a company called OR, which is doing creationary chemistry, so energy on site locally by converting carbon-based biomass into chemicals and fuels.

So there's a lot of really exciting innovation out there. Wow. And so do you think that the U.S. and Israel on the business level From business to business, understand the value of this alliance, even if some leaders clash from time to time? I think so.

I mean, if you just look at the presence of some of the largest. Technology superpowers in the world, they have deep roots in Israel.

So, NVIDIA, Palantir, Amazon, Google, a lot of their foundational technologies were acquisitions of companies in Israel. A lot of their world-class engineering centers are in Israel.

So, there's really a strong tie between these two ecosystems. And I think it's absolutely critical for the U.S. to be winning in this kind of global race, especially vis-a-vis China, for it to have allies and partners to win alongside it. Has China tried to invest with you, with you in Israel? Not with me.

Not with you, but would you say with Israeli companies, have they been trying to, because you guys are an innovation nation.

Well, you know, me personally, I'm an American, and so my firm is investing along what we could describe as the U.S.-Israel corridor. I'm sure there are some Chinese funds or actors who are trying to also invest in the Israel economy, but I think Israel's ties to the United States are pretty significant, and it's something that gives the U.S. an edge in this kind of global race. And I think it's incredibly important to double down on.

So, Paulina McPadden is on Bloomberg, Bloomberg Tech. They talk about the China and the race you guys are up against with them and where they're at right now. Cut 49. I think China's been a tremendous engine for growth and disruption and innovation for a very long time. I certainly wouldn't want to bet against China.

Indeed, we have holdings in China such as BYD and Pinduoduo and Tencent, and they're tremendous companies. But I think companies like TSMC and SK Hynix and ASML are almost in a league of their own. TSMC in particular has created effectively a monopoly at the leading edge of chips and that's going to be very difficult to disrupt, not just because of access to capital, which is a limiting factor still given the amount of money it takes to build a leading node fab, but also because there's so much inherent process knowledge that TSMC has built up over decades. That is incredibly hard to replicate, even if Chinese companies had access to a lot of the equipment that they need. You do have to guard against that, right?

China always. With their espionage tendencies. Oh, absolutely. I mean, I think that the biggest edge that the United States has is kind of at the frontier of innovation. But we've seen China be very, very adept at replicating and catching up in a lot of areas.

And now, because of its essentially its capabilities in manufacturing and really being able to direct state capital and focus on certain strategic areas, it's not something to be trifled with. We have to take the competition very seriously. Michael, the way I understand it, China with their innovation with AI. As they break out, they try to give it to as many Chinese businesses as possible. They want to see how it's working almost immediately, whether you're a mechanic or in the food business, hospitality business.

They try to flood society with this innovation so they're a part of it, where we seem to be innovating at the top and letting it trickle down. How do you feel about both approaches? What China's been leading on is really on open weight models, open source models. These things, anyone can essentially take the code and deploy it. And so while in the US you have to, for the best, absolute best models coming from OpenAI and Anthropic, they're closed weight models, you have to contract directly with those companies.

Basically two weeks ago, we saw a moment where a Chinese model was really capable. frontier-like capabilities was a model called Kimi K3.

So China is known to be able to reduce prices on things. There's a lot of incentives for them to make sure that the world adopts their AI technology stack rather than the Western allied technology stack. And this is the competition of a lifetime for us to make sure that we're able to out-compete that. Do you believe we're winning? I think so.

I think the re the lead is narrow. I think we're certainly not invincible. There's nothing guaranteed in this. But I think right now, if you think of the frontier innovation and now even the depth of the capital markets, because this is quite a significant kind of capital deployment, it's several of ordered magnitudes larger than an Apollo-like effort. I think that gives us a really good A really good foundation to build on.

So Amrith Rem Kumar was on Wall Street Journal today, and he said on PBS from the Wall Street Journal, and he said this about the advantages that China has, Cut 52.

So if the Chinese models are almost as good and much cheaper, could they start to dominate the market? That's what the concern is. Exactly. And another point to mention is that leading U.S. companies are now subject to increasing scrutiny and oversight from the Trump administration and other regulatory agencies around the world, whereas Chinese models don't have to abide by those same rules and they don't have the same safeguards built in.

So some people say they're almost as powerful and they're not nearly as safe. That's a really dangerous combination if they were to fall into the wrong hands.

So, I mean, that's some of the advantage? Do you see that the Trump administration maybe coming down with additional regulation is a problem? You know, regulation in this space is difficult. There has to be some layer of it. Ideally, the industry leads.

There is some talk, for example, about banning Chinese open weight models. It would be a problem to deprive U.S. companies from using these because, in a lot of places, they're very effective, much cheaper. There's been chip controls, discussions about whether US companies should be providing Chinese companies with advanced chips, like NVIDIA's most advanced chips. Mm-hmm.

If you don't provide them, is that an extra incentive for Chinese to build its own ecosystem? China to build its own ecosystem up? Will it go there faster and then get a broader foothold worldwide?

So I think there's really complex trade-offs.

Sometimes you don't understand the full second and third order effects of regulations that you might put into place.

So we have to be super smart about it. Thankfully, I think we've had really smart, capable people, like David Sachs and others in the administration. But there's no simple answers here.

So, David, Michael Brockom is our guest. He's a partner at Deep33.

So, Michael, I'm going to just give you the civilian take on what I understand has happened. They gave this model um One of the AI models, they said we need to make a gym appointment. And they told them to make a gym appointment. There were no gym appointments available.

So this AI model went and canceled a bunch of other appointments. and inserted that person's appointment in there. And they say, well, that's a fundamental non-lethal example. of AI doing its own thing. We heard about the example of a guy they were trying to not get destroyed.

They found out about a guy who was having an affair and they theoretically blackmailed him not to destroy the AI.

So you worry about an AI going rogue. I do. There are ways in which if these systems aren't built with appropriate kind of safeguards in them, they're incredibly powerful. You kind of give them a goal, and a lot of times they can pursue that goal with unforeseen consequences. But I think the much bigger concern isn't that we build AI that That does unexpected things.

I actually think the leading labs have decent approaches to these questions. I think the much bigger concern is: if we handicap ourselves in this race, focus entirely on safety, do we get beat in by a whole value system that's fundamentally anathema to the American value system? And I think that's the bigger concern. Right. I mean, China's got concerns too.

They're famous for suppressing their people and suppressing speech. And if people are able to bypass China's controls, they're not happy about that either.

So for different reasons there's some common concern. Absolutely. I mean, there has to be some level of. You know, global cooperation, you know, to fend off the worst possible scenarios of AI. And that level of high-level dialogue is important.

But, you know, what we can't allow happen is for the U.S. to kind of tie its arms behind its back. And we're seeing that, for example, in data center builds, where there's a lot of local regulatory complexity, a lot of protests around data center builds. That is not something we want to see the U.S. fall behind on.

Arguably, our geopolitical rivals would love to see Americans argue about various regulations while they kind of zoom far ahead in these areas.

So it's something we have to be able to do. Absolutely. And don't you think our enemies and our rivals are supplying a lot of the social media momentum against the building of data centers and exercising people on it, much like they try to do with their elections? I think that the tough part about open systems is that they're open. And there's a beautiful thing about the fact that we have an incredible democracy, incredible open media systems, et cetera, but it also allows people with ideas that are adverse to our interests to infiltrate, to poison, to manipulate those environments.

And it's something we all have to be aware of, for sure. Right. I think that bipartisan push to slow it down, even in Texas, there's a push to have a memorial. But there should be standards, whether it's a water sauce or an energy source. This could be great for any city's tax base.

Let alone the actually building of these data centers. I know it's not a long-term job, but the building of the data centers is a massive opportunity for employment, right? Yeah, there's a lot of myths about what's happening with data centers that they're raising electric prices. Almost always, that's not true. These data centers have to bring their own power, contract their own power, or water, which is usually not an issue.

I think these are a lot of myths that are being exploited by fear exploitation or people who would love to see America not grow. By and large, a lot of the economic Power we're still seeing and resilience in the economy is driven by this capital expenditure.

So, incredible job creation. This, you know, I think there's estimates of one to two points of GDP purely coming from this kind of AI build out.

So, it's quite important.

So, Michael, just for you and your bio story, what got you into this form of investing? What excites you about it? Like, how did you break in initially?

So, you know, I've been an entrepreneur my whole career. I've been a builder. I built a company called FabFit Fund. We're known for our subscription boxes of all things. But along the way, I had the good fortune of investing in some incredible companies like Stripe and SpaceX and others, and eventually just got more interested in the kind of deep end of technology.

And as I spent more and more time there, it became obvious that in this moment, particularly in this kind of post-10.7 moment, we're in a sort of Cold War 2.0 type of environment. And unless we all kind of pick up our shovels and figure out what we can contribute to it, we're going to fall behind. And so I thought, how do I pick up my shovel? To me, the most important thing for the U.S. is to have its partners.

So we describe our investment thesis as investing across the U.S.-Israel deep tech corridor. Because to me, that's kind of partner number one. Alex Karp was on CNBC just a few weeks ago, and he made the statement there's basically three relevant tech centers in the entire world there's China there's the United States and there's Israel so if you put two of three on on one side of the column that gives you a much bigger chance of winning I think our value values are aligned I think we it's a better future for my kids if that relationship is really solid and it's on built on the foundation of economic and technological strength and in terms of investing and building a career is it when you start proving yourself and people say well I trust Michael then when you go into another in another investment you do have people that will follow you and that's how your career grew because of your success and your trustworthiness is that how it's done Yeah, absolutely. If you find a way to make a return for your investors, initially as an entrepreneur and then eventually started investing in other companies on behalf of the people who saw that I had judgment and access and knowledge in an increasing number of spaces, they want to get behind that.

So I feel incredibly blessed to have the support of our investors. And it's been built brick by brick, really. And when people want to know what your work week is like, how many hours are you putting in? How many how much how dedicated are you? You know, I feel incredibly lucky that I, you know.

My work is such a joy for me to work with these companies, to help them, to find them, to back them, et cetera, that there's not a moment that I feel like I'm even off. Let me clarify. I take Shabbat off. I actually take that one day off. And I think besides that, my wife will tell me maybe I'm too much looking at my phone at all moments.

Did you love what you do? Love what I do. Love building. Love investing in founders that are changing the world. Um You know, it's it's it's it's it's a true it's a true pleasure.

Right, and that's just it. I think when people listening get a goal, they want to find something with that type of passion when it when work doesn't become work. It's hard for you to even step away because you like it so much.

So I feel the same way about my job. Yeah. Yeah, it's a total blessing. Like, you know, and I think. I think there's a lot of ways to really look at the world, look at, you know, especially as an American, and think about where we are in this moment and the opportunity to build the future, make sure this country is what it was for us, for our kids.

It can be very motivating, and I take that with me in everything I do. Absolutely. And there's a smile in everything you say. Michael Brookham, congratulations on this and your partner now at Deep 33, trying to keep U.S. and Israel together to beat China and to move our country forward.

Thanks, Michael. Thanks, Brian. Thanks for having me. Have a good one. Back in a moment.

Diving deep into today's top stories, it's Brian Kilmead. He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Kilmeade. Okay, I went really long on that one, but it's just fascinating to see some people so driven in the tech center. For the longest time, I looked at the people at Google and heard about the people at Apple and saw about Microsoft and saw how much they hated Republicans and they were all pro-environment.

And if you have a gas car, you're a terrible person. And something flipped. I think it was after they tried to destroy Donald Trump and he ended up winning and they said, wow, we were wrong about that. And now you see a lot of Silicon Valley being the leading defense, not manufacturers, but innovators. And now you see these innovators and these tech centers trying to do things to help the country with our own true, our number one ally, Israel.

I'm encouraged by it. The smart people helping a great country. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. Hi everyone, so glad you're there.

It's the Brian Kilmicho making your way through this final hour of the week, or one of the final hours of the week. It's been really interesting ever since Tuesday's primary leading up and then through. Shannon Bream's going to be with us shortly. Bottom of the hour, Senator Rick Scott. Senator Rick Scott is one of these people who.

Who we found out is not a is not well someone very influential decided to call him out and said he should be killed for his stand on health care. We'll talk about that in a moment. Let's get to the big three. Number 3. And they've pushed an individual like El Saed that's been very proud of his very deeply anti-Israel views.

He put this situation where a Michigan that could have been a more of a safe seat. We are going to have to defend that. And why do you want to defend that? Because Senator John Fetterman, if El Saeed gets in, he's going to put your head on a pike. Yep.

Some Dems pushing back on socialists and anti-Semitism. Why is the leadership too scared to do the same? Number 10. They believe they can, time is on their side and they'll ride this thing out as best they can. Their intention, number two, as we get closer to the midterms, is likely to increase violent and aggressive activity.

That is General Jack Keene with me this morning, waiting game with Iran. The U.S. and us is all about oil at this point. That is the key weapon over bombs. Right now, the world watches, waits, and sweats.

We're going to talk about this and where we go from here. Number one. We look at our power rankings, Roger. These are the races. There's Alaska, Iowa, Maine, and Ohio that are in the toss-up category, but we've got North Carolina and Georgia, Michigan, and New Hampshire leaning blue.

That is Brett Baer talking about the initial polls they're in and the matchups settle in in key states. And both sides have reason for concern and hope. My concern was that Shannon Bream was not going to be able to get here in time, but my concern was alleviated when you walked in. I have special powers. Yes.

You were able to get up from another seat. I was just supported myself. How were you able to do that?

Well, I follow your example because you do 10 jobs in 10 different parts of 10 different buildings every week. And so I just follow on you.

So when I go to Washington, I still don't know my way around. I know it seems crazy. Good. We like you to be off-kilter, off-balance when you're there. But when you were in New York, do you understand your way?

You've been here so long.

Well, I will say I've been coming to this building for almost 20 years, but we have a lot of construction. Oh, that's right. I don't know about that. I did. I lived here for a little while.

But every time I come here, like a hallway that was there before has disappeared. I know. And I can't figure out how to get anywhere. And what you're referring to, Shannon, is not so much it's been a while, it's been five minutes. Every day I walk in, I don't know what elevator works.

I'm like, oh, that lobby doesn't exist anymore. Yes. Like, how do I get? You can't get there from here, if you'll remember from the famous movie Vacation. Which one?

Vacation. Which one? Chevy Chase. He gets a little in the Queen Family Truckster. He gets a little lost in a neighborhood and he's asking the local people for directions.

You don't really want to help him. And they're like, you can't get there from here. Wow, that's so interesting. For a while, Chevy Chase, I thought, was one of the top five funniest people. Oh, my gosh.

Yes. But I've never seen someone lose his sense of humor quicker. Have you seen him with his humor? But the Fletch years were good. The vacation years were, you know, Funny Farm was a good movie back in the day.

Oh. Funny Farm was great. Yeah. And I always wonder too, is I let my kids and other people Who are younger watch it and I go, does this transfer? Is this just was funny to me when it was out or now?

And for the most part, Jevi Chase, the answer is yes. Yeah. You know who doesn't? Who? Bill Murray.

Like he's got a subtle humor that I think is hysterical. But a lot of people who are in their 20s are, I don't get it.

Okay, but Stripes, Caddyshack, all that class. I know, I know. What about Bob? I mean, come on. He's got some classics out there.

But what we're supposed to take from this is to not lose our sense of humor as we get older. Yes, but I don't need you turning into a cranky old man. But, Shannon, I'm going to drill a little bit deeper because you're very shallow as a person. Thank you. I think it's like: does our humor change?

Yeah. I think, for example, do you ever, for example, people who are watching silent movies and laughing out loud? Would you ever watch a silent movie? Hello, my baby. Hello, my honey.

Hello, my ragtime gal. Oh, no, that wouldn't be good because it sounded good. Yes, this is pre-that. But that was the first hit on the soundtrack of 1928. Hello, my baby.

It's fantastic on radio when you imitate silent movies. It was. It's a little bit difficult, but we're making it happen. Right. I would not be surprised if you end your show with, let's look back at silent movies.

Yes. It just rolls. And it's just silent for the rest of the show. I have a weird sense of humor. Do you?

Do you like mainstream stuff though? Like, I think most dudes, and I'm speaking about my husband, they love things like Three Stooges and stuff. And I'm like, it's not working for me. The problem is, I'm not a, I know I'm an anomaly. I never thought the three stooges were funny.

For number one, I don't like the violence of the guy getting hit. I did not like it. That's the part I like. Like, Mozo is beating up on these guys. And then it turns out in real life, it was the other way.

Curly was the boxer. Oh, okay. All right.

So I did this book before I met you called The Games Do Count, and it was so good. They said, do a sequel. And so I said, all right. It's how you play the game. And I wanted to mix in the Joe Montanas of the world with other people that had an athletic career but didn't go pro.

And one of the people I interviewed. was Uh cro um a biographer of Curly from My Three Stooges. And it turns out he was a great boxer. And you wouldn't think the fat guy with the crew cut who was getting um slapped around a lot. Right.

But he was.

Well, I feel like I must be a bad person because my algorithm, like on Instagram Reels, is like people falling down. But I just am assuming they're okay. People aren't falling in like into wood chippers or whatever. They're just on social media. On social media, there's always a regulator to make sure you don't see things where people are end up okay.

I want people to be okay. I have fallen down and embarrassed myself, but I feel like as long as you, the life lesson is you got to get back up. Like, I will tell you something I wasn't prepared to say.

So, I have two dogs, right? I love your doggies. Wait, I had you, I thought you had three. What happened? Don't you?

We've rotated a lot.

Okay. But you got the two big fluffy Pyrenees right now.

Well, we have a lot of catching up to do. Oh, which one? We have Willow, the Great Britain. Great Willow, yes. And then we have Bear.

Bear. That's right, those two. Bernie's Mountain Dog, right? Up to the High Dog. Which was one of the big three.

So really. This is big four. We've gotten to the fourth one. Yeah, this is like the big six.

So. So, what I did is, Dawn saw this thing on Instagram where she sees most of everything. And she saw that we should not be putting things around their neck, that it hurts their neck. Right. But.

The trainer said, Make sure you use the prong collar on these guys. The big daddies, you have to.

So I said, Wait. People get very upset about it.

So I go online. And I find out the no-pole collar. I've never seen something more inaccurately labeled. Because believe me, the only people that aren't pulled are the people that make it. But the people that have to walk the dogs are getting pulled.

But do you, is it sort of like we use on our doggy, like the harness situation?

So it's not just around the throat, it's around their chest. No, it's around their throat. It's all around their chest. Yes, yeah, yeah. But it doesn't come out.

Oh, no, if you have a 500-pound dog, you're still getting dragged down the street. 120 and 130.

So that's what I'm walking.

So, but I still had no problem. When I had two 140-pound dogs, by this point, they're not even pulling. But I had the prong collar. They must have said, I don't want any piece of that. Yeah.

So at one point, they crossed. You talk about falling. And I felt slammed on my elbow, and I go, the only thing I thought to myself is, I don't know. I'm going to kill these dogs and we're eating them for sure.

Somebody I know saw it. Oh, and I know it's going to probably come back somewhere if they didn't tape it. But I did go down.

So you would have enjoyed that. I would have, but you're okay.

So then I can enjoy it fully because I know you're all right. Yeah, if I didn't survive. And I think you were worried that the three stooges weren't all right. You saw the violence and said, I'm not okay with that.

Okay, I'll go back to one comedy I do think is funny. Tell me if you think Abena Costello is funny. Mm funny er. Then the three stooges, but still, you know, like who's on first, all that stuff.

Well good, that's pretty much it. It's mildly entertaining. They had a moment. Yeah. I'm more like the nacho libre, Napoleon dynamite weirdo kind of stuff.

Yeah, I never saw that. I know. But I'll tell you, I'll give you an Avon Costello story that you didn't ask for. Buddy Hackett, who was mentored by Lou Costello. He used some adult words.

Yeah. That Buddy Hackett used. He loved Fox. And he came in until he died. Um and he's in.

And I just brought up, I'm trying to find out some interesting things about him. And I just said, hey, I did not know. That you were mentored by Lou Costello. And he gets choked up. Oh, wow.

And he starts talking about Luke Costello. But Luke Costello, to me, he had died, what, in the sixties or something?

So here we are in the probably the nineties or two or two thousands and he's talking about this guy that You know, that's what he did for him and helped them, and buddy hacking under being a great stand-up. Lou Costello, who always got hit, again was looked at as the dumb guy, was actually the smart guy. It's often like that. I wonder what people are thinking about the two of us right now. Who's the smart guy?

Oh, the Smothers brothers. Tom Smothers was the dumb guy, but was known as a smothered guy.

Okay, like those guys, Carol Burnett show. Thumbs up, thumbs down. Come on, those guys. Harvey Corman and Tim Conway. Come on.

Vicki Lawrence. Right. Tim Conway had come in here. Have you ever interviewed him? No, but I love him.

Yeah, he had passed away. Yeah. But his son is continuing on.

Okay, good. But he had Dorf. He came in to Dorf on golf. Yes. We're dating ourselves.

There are people out there listening who have no idea what we're talking about, any of these things. Right. And it's not going to help either one of our shows get viewers over the weekend. No.

But, and of course, Fox News Sunday coming up. And I wouldn't be surprised if when my book comes out, am I doing the whole hour? Which book? You have like 50 books.

Well, no, no, I haven't done one in three years. What's the new one? This one is called How to Pick Up Girls. And I just know I'm only kidding. It is called Then the Answer is No.

Yeah, Uniting the States: The Six Crucial Moments to Forge the American America. I feel like we could talk about that on Fox News Sunday. I'd be honored. But what was I going to say? But we got to talk about that.

But the last thing, I just wanted to finish up that point with something that matters to me. Tour fun golf.

Okay. I also thought a little bit sad that Because Tim Conway, in the end, was selling a Like a slapstick. guy who golfed on his niece. And I thought to myself, Should you graduate? And I don't know the answer to this, but as a comedian, should you graduate when you get to your 80s to something less goofy?

I don't know. Or do you just go for it? Because you got nothing to lose and you're just going to run out the tape of whatever goofball thing you can do. I need money. It did make me laugh.

Right? Yeah. It was a VHS tape. That's how long it was.

So I don't know if his legacy, if the Tim Conway estate can live off this. Listen, you and I are wrapping up like the Sanka Geritol demo right now. Pastebox. Everybody else out there is like, what are these idiots talking about? Right.

Okay. Let's just talk about this real quick. Mm-hmm. Can I tease my guest for Fox News Sunday? Todd Blanche.

He's now the Attorney General. Congratulations. He's going to come and join us on Sunday. We've got a lot to discuss.

So I know in the afternoon, a couple of hours now, on Long Island is going to be Todd Blanche is going to be POTUS. POTUS. And it is maybe Cache Patel? Yeah, Cash Patel, also Long Islander. They're coming out to salute the number one police force in the country with the best record, plus the whole country.

Crime is an untold story why it's going down. I know it's not just the president, but don't you think it helps when the president is about law and order and talked about backing the blue as opposed to defunding them?

Well, and I certainly hope it helps morale because these men and women do very difficult jobs and they felt pretty beat up the last few years, frankly.

So I hope that they will feel very encouraged by these remarks today. And I can only speak from personal experience. I live and work in D.C. most of the time. It feels very different there.

And I mean that in a good way. And there are people who are upset. They don't like the optics of having National Guard anywhere. I've seen them having good interactions with tourists and different people there in D.C.

So you can have your opinions on whether you think you want them on the streets or not. All I can say is that my experience is it's not. A death-defying experience to go to Union Station and catch a train anymore. It just feels very different, and I appreciate that. The homeless is cleaned up.

It's not with not crime-free, but man, it's crime down. Big improvement. When we come back. One of the women, the co leader of the DSA, brought up your was the your interview was brought up.

So I want you to hear her response about the interview as the interviewer tries to let her expand on the one word answer she gave you. And she didn't take up that opportunity. Shannon Bream is here. Fox News Sunday is coming up. When we come back, Shannon's going to ask me what's on my show.

I can't wait. She comes off selfish now, but she'll correct all that. Always. It's all about me. She'll correct all that when we come back.

Where big stories meet bigger conversations. Stay informed and energized with the Brian Kilmeat Show. Uh From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmead. Hey, we are back. Just real quick, what's happened inside the Mangioni Trail?

We were getting notes from our producer inside that the judge is talking through this with Luigi Mangioni, making sure he's sworn in now. Apparently, there's indication he will plead guilty to counts one and two. The judge has said the defendant is fully competent to plead guilty at this time. Mangioni says, quote, I have. When asked if he read the indictment, he's satisfied with his representation.

And these are all things the judge is going to ask him because he wants to make sure you fully understand that you have these other rights to a jury trial, these other things. And yet you're saying, I'm going to plead guilty. And apparently that's what's happening. All right, so let's go back to what we were talking about before, and that is your interview with Megan Romer, who's the, I think, coast co-chairs. Co-chair of DSA.

The chair of DSA. Democratic Socialists. And you just asked her flat out, yes or no? Do you want to disband the Senate? Yes or no?

Do you want to disband prisons? Yes or no? Disband ICE. Do you want to get rid of the Supreme Court? You said she said yes, yes, yes to everything.

So the New Yorker, David Remnik, I think. Yeah, Remnik, decides to ask her, do you want a second shot at that? Cut 56. I think what might have disturbed some people who are watching that Fox clip. There was a certain kind of you know, breezy, yeah, I'm for that, I'm for that, and there was no detail at all.

And when you come to uh an issue like prison abolition, And just say, yep, I'm for that. Or defund the police, sure, I'm for that. I it was a little startling.

Now it might have been the form of the show.

So let's flip the switch here and dig down a little. What do you mean by prison abolition? We've had on the show Michelle Alexander, who wrote The New Jim Crow, and Plenty of people in the Democratic Party, even in the establishment, have rejected. Mass incarceration, and some things have been done to bring it down. What does prison abolition mean to you?

So again, let's start from first principles, right? What do we need? We need safety. Let's not begin from first principles. Let's begin from what is to be done, to use a Leninist phrase.

No, I mean, I think you have to start from first principles, and that is the core of this. We need community safety. We need people to be safe. We need people to be able to live their lives without fear of being assaulted, without fear of being robbed, without fear of violence. What.

Communities do we know are the safest? It's not communities with cops on every corner. It's communities that have good schools, good jobs, good park systems, good recreation for their teenagers, things like that. Those are the safe communities.

So she did not take that opportunity. She's doubling, tripling down. What's your takeaway from that interview, the follow-up? Yeah, well, I did press her and say, What about rapists, murderers, child predators? Like, what are we talking about here?

And there was some concession at some point. There's some super bad people that do not be roaming the streets. But the DSA argument is that things have been over-criminalized and that a lot of people do things like steal because we've created capitalism has created economic conditions that force them into what is now defined as a crime. But when I said, get rid of ICE, get rid of borders, no enforcement of immigration law, that was a straight up yes. And she said, again, the U.S.

is creating conditions around the globe that force people to flee their countries and come here.

So we're always the bad guy in the DSA's book. And by the way, if you did that interview, if five years ago, six years ago, I go, Shannon, why would you put in somebody who's going to get 1% of the vote on your show? But they're not. They're putting people into Congress in New York. If you are going to have members of Congress from New York City who are fully avowed DSA, they will have a vote like everybody else in Congress.

Who do we expect to see on your show again for people that just tune in? We have got the brand new Attorney General, Todd Blanche, will be with us, and we will take it from there. What about you on your show? We're going, Senator Dan Sullivan's in a tough fight to keep his seat in the center. He's going to be joining us from Alaska.

I got Tom Holmans been called out by Gavin Newsome, saying it's your fault that 68-year-old was stabbed to death the other day. And we're also going to have somebody else important, Kevin McCarthy. How does he feel about Woke One? What about Woke Two? Shannon Breen, thanks so much.

Don't move. Shannon's got to go. Sadly. Bye. No more comedy talk.

A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Ao Z Dong is one of the great leaders of this world.

Okay, the fall of the USSR. Was one of the greatest catastrophes of the 20th century. We must end the American Empire. America deserved 9-11, dude. I'm saying it.

If you cared about Medicare fraud or Medicaid fraud, you would f. Rick Scott. Kill those motherfuckers. Murder those motherfuckers in the street. Let the streets...

Let the streets soak in their f ⁇ ing. Red capitalist bloods. That is his son Piker, and this guy is the voice of the socialist movement. A guy that has sat down with AOC, has done his podcast. Same thing with RoConna has done his podcast.

Bernie Sanders, as far as I know, is a big fan. He was the one of the few standing by that ridiculous candidate over in Wisconsin that wanted to ban Thanksgiving. He's trying to get a socialist everywhere. You know that he thinks Mao was his idol. Says he guy killed 14 million people, but he dresses like Mao and quotes Mao and loves China.

And this is the voice of the Democratic Party right now. Big story in the Wall Street Journal today saying, you know, they basically have the Democrats climbing up walls because they know he's going to be problematic. You think? Joining us now a man that he says he wants to kill, Senator Rick Scott. Senator I know you despise this guy, as do I.

But you're but he is not going away. He's ascendant in the Democratic Party. No, they they can't the Democrats all campaign with this guy. Bandami, Hassan Piker, AOC, they run the Democrat Party. The d Chuck Schumer is scared to death.

He whatever they want, he gives them. Every Democrat falls on the sword for these guys. They're anti-Semitic, they want capitalists murdered, they want me murdered.

Okay? I mean they thought we deserve 9-11. We deserve 9-11. I mean, these guys are crazy. And so anybody, like if you're a Democrat and you don't call them out, Then you're part of them.

No question. Like, we've got a guy in Florida running for governor that's anti-Semitic. I call him out. He's supposedly a Republican running for governor. He's anti-Semitic.

I call him out. Democrats need to call this guy out and they just say they are not, there is no room in the Democrat Party for this guy. But guess what? They all go campaign with him because all they care about is power. It's disgusting.

And right now, they just can't figure out what to do with him. Rokana says, Well, it doesn't mean I agree with him if I sit down with him. What is your answer to that? Yeah. I mean, do you you you do you like, I don't like seven do you think I'm gonna go sit down with somebody that wants me murdered?

So if they say it's okay to sit down with somebody that wants every capitalist in this country murdered. Oh, I just sat down with him. I just had breakfast with him. I just had lunch with him. Oh, I just campaigned with him.

I just voted with him. It's disgusting. So here's Akeem Jeffries, part of leadership that refuses to take a stand, cut 30. You've got the Democratic Socialists of America, DSA, with several candidates who are on the ballot headed into these midterm elections. Your thoughts on what that energy, how that represents some of the change that you are talking about that's happening in the progressive wing of your party?

Yeah, so I think we'll see what happens in terms of what the. caucus looks like. On the other side of the midterm election, certainly our focus right now is making sure that we win as many seats as we can in November. And by the way, they they just and Chuck Schumer says, I want a big tent party. And that he has no standard.

They don't care. As long as Jeffries, as long as Schumer are the leader, it's okay. You can be anti-Semitic. You can hate capitalists. You can hate this country.

You can say we deserve 9-11. As long as you vote for me for leader, I'm all in. That's what these guys are doing. This is disgusting.

So, I want you to hear.

So, with this rise of socialism, Republicans obviously are going to bring that up. We're going to bring that out. J.D. Vance says Republicans can't ignore why young people are going for this. Cut 38.

My warning to my fellow Republicans, Will, would be: if we don't get this right, don't blame young people for being sympathetic to socialism, we've got to blame ourselves. And I think what is so unique and refreshing about Donald Trump's economic policies is that it's not the same old economic ideas that you would have heard 30, 40 years ago. He's talking about rebuilding our industrial base, rebuilding the heartland, making our streets safer, making it possible for young people to afford to buy a home. This is how you stop socialism. You don't stop socialism by throwing slogans at people about the free market.

As much as I love the free market, you stop socialism by making people's lives better.

So, I think you're such a good person to bounce this off of because you are a self-made success story. No one said to you, life's not fair, and blame somebody. You just found a way to overcome your circumstances and became extremely successful, and then decided to serve into politics after you had that thriving career.

So what do you say to J.D. Vance, who says, you know, Republicans don't blame young people.

Well, we've got to go tell people. Look, I understand that people, look, I understand people are worried about groceries. My family did growing up. I understand people are worried about jobs. My family did growing up.

So what we've got to do is we've got to be the party that says, you know what, we're going to control spending and we're going to get inflation under control. That means we're not going to keep spending $2 trillion extra dollars a year. We're going to say we're going to figure out how to get housing prices down. That means we're going to say at the local level, this is done at the local level, we are going to figure out how we get starter homes more affordable. We're going to figure out how we are the law enforcement party.

We are the party that's going to give you the best education system. But not just an education system. We're going to have an education system that it turns into you, I don't care who you are. Rich or poor, black or white, whatever, you're going to get a great paying job. That's what our party needs to be.

When I ran for governor, I ran on, I'm going to get everybody in the state a job. That's why I ran on. And people voted for me. I think 500,000 Democrats voted for me because they said, I want a job. I tell people, I live in public housing.

How many of you want to live in public housing? How many of you want to be broke? I've not had one person raise their hand and say, yeah, I want to be broke. I want to live in that public housing. I want to be on food stamps.

No, but we've got to be the party that says, we have a plan. We're going to figure out how to get you a job, you, you a person job, you a great education, your kids a great education, and we're going to make sure your neighborhood is safe. That's what people want out of the Republican Party. We've got to do it. That means stop wasting their money.

Be honest with them. We've got to start fixing problems. We've got to save Social Security. We've got to save Medicare. We have to have safety nets that work that people can't defraud us.

So, for example, no one's against making affordable childcare. No one's saying let's make Social Security out of reach. Nobody's saying let's continue to not finance Social Security properly, which I think you're working on in a bipartisan way, which seems to be ultimately very fixable. Nobody's saying that health care should be expensive. But you got to find a way, fundamentally, to keep up the quality that we have in this country, at the same time, make it more accessible.

But when Permanent says, I want to do Medicare for all, you were in the healthcare business. What is not feasible about Medicare for all? What they've done is Obamacare, Medicare. That just means you're not going to get. If you think it's the greatest healthcare in the system when government runs something, Why is everybody flocking to Canada for their health care?

are flocking to to socialist countries. I mean, remember how Cuba is supposed to have this great health care system. I've never met one person that said, I'm flying to Cuba to get my health care because that's got a great system. When the government runs something, it becomes political.

So it means that you won't be able to afford it, you won't have access to it, and the quality will go to crap. That's exactly what's going to happen. What you want is you want the private sector to compete like hell for your money. What we need to do is give you if we're going to if we're going to help you, right, we need to give you the money and you make these providers compete for your money. Stop it and let people compete.

I mean, this is so we do it in grocery stores. Look at the quality of the the food in our country. I mean, we can go to any grocery store we want, right? And you get to buy like FoodStamps, we don't say, oh, no, we're going to give you a little box and you get exactly thus food. No, we're going to give no in FoodStamps, we say, we want to help you, so we're going to give you we're going to give you some money, and you can go to any grocery store you want to go to.

and buy what you want. But in health care, we said, no, no, you got to do this and you got to do this and you got to do that. These are all these rules. And so how does it help? It hurt maybe it helps some providers, but for the person who needs health care, it's it's redu it's reducing their access, improve increasing their costs and reducing the quality.

Senator Rick Scott, our guest.

So Senator I was stunned last weekend. You know, we've been noticing since President Trump took over, the political correctness is going out the window. The DEI is going out the window. We're getting back to a meritocracy when it comes to schools and when it comes to jobs and stop elevating people because of the colour of their skin or the religion they have and their nationality. We're getting away from that.

But now we're at the point. Where even the people that were telling us to label our pronouns that men can have babies and that women are just pregnant people, women are not no longer women, and they told us that you have to defund the police and all that craziness, and that we should be embarrassed by our past and apologize to people and pay reparations. They're now calling that woke one. That's Woke One. Yeah, we were crazy back then, AOC says, during Woke One.

What did what we was this a big ruse, this whole thing, where you were vilified for speaking up?

So it didn't work. They know that that people say, you're crazy. I mean, look, I was raised, you were raised that we are doing everything we can to give everybody the same opportunity, right? And so, what they said, no, we're not going to, no, if you're this color, you're an oppressor. Boy, you're a bad person.

That's BS. I mean, think of how many people help other people. We have the greatest country in the world. We help each other. We want people to get ahead.

We don't care the color of their skin. Right? Here's what happens. It makes it toxic. Like right now right now in Florida, I got I've got a guy, Randy Feines, he's Jewish.

He's running in a district, and we've got a guy that's basically completely anti Semitic running against him. That's wrong. We got to accept, we got to accept people who are all different and give everybody the same opportunity for success. I'm in this role I am in because I want kids like me that grew up not knowing their dad, lived in public housing, that has a mom that said you could be anything. That's what this country has to be.

That's what we have to fight for every day, and that's what the Republican Party should be standing for. We want everybody to have the same opportunity. Yeah, I mean, I guess it's happening now. And remember the new Green Deal? If we don't adopt it, the world was going to end in eight years.

Al Gore said the world should have been over by now. Do you believe they didn't even believe that? I mean, when they there were all these all the pressures on the corporations and the Paris climate change. Power. Power, power.

Look at Fauci. I mean, thank God that Rand Paul got him to have to come testify and got that diary out, and now we've got the phone. They just lied to us. He just lied to us. He had no earthy idea, or he believed the opposite, but because they wanted to control us, it's like they want to control our way of life.

Like one thing I'll tell you, I appreciate what Rand did, and I also appreciate what Trump's doing, because Trump's declassifying information, he's showing how much of a deep state there is. There's an unbelievable deep state, and they think they're so much smarter than all those dumb Americans. That's what they think. They treat us all like we're the idiots. Those people up there that have the power.

They get to make all the decision for us. We fought against that with the Soviet Union.

So we gotta fight like hell for this country.

So there's no gas cars in New York and California? Are they gonna reverse that mandate? Because by 2035, they're gonna be getting rid of all those cars. Is that still gonna stay in the books? I guess.

I mean, I mean, think about it. Mondami is, I mean, he's just destroying it. Look, I I I'm I'm a I'm a builder, right? I'm a business guy.

So I love the fact that that people are leaving New York and coming to Florida. I fought to get them to come down down here. But think about the who gets hurt. The rich can do that real easy. But people like my family that couldn't afford to move, right?

They're the ones who get hurt by Mondami. I mean, that grocery store that he opens is not going to help him. I mean, somebody's going to pay somebody's going to pay for it, so they're going to raise everybody's taxes. I hear you. Mid-government doesn't work.

That's causes most of your problems is government.

Well, Senator Rick Scott, it's going to be a very interesting sprint towards the midterm elections and see if the Republicans can buck history and be the party in power that doesn't pay the price in the midterm. Senator Rick Scott, thanks so much. All right.

See you, Brian. All right.

Listen, we'll find out when we get back more to know. And the top of the arrow will be on outnumbered. And don't forget One Nation Sunday at 10 p.m. We've got a great lineup from Dan Sullivan to Tom Holman. Uh Information you want, truth you demand.

This is the Brian Kill Me Show. More to know. Sponsored by Previgen. Previgion, made for your brain. Yeah, and first off, let me just remind everyone: United States comes out my brand new book, The Six Crucial Moments, The Forge the American Miracle that you're going to love.

Just did the book on tape. Go to November, it's coming out October 13th. I usually see them out in November, coming out early.

So, BrianKillMe.com to find out where I'm going to be live. But now, let's find out what else you need to know. Travis Kelsey opened up on his wedding, saying he exchanged vows with this woman named, how do you say it? Taylor Swift? First time I'm hearing of this.

He talked about how much he liked his wedding. Wedding was the best night of my life, and I appreciate everybody who came out and celebrated and had fun with us. It was a crazy night. It was full of a lot of celebration, but it's football, baby. MSG, man.

You know, I always told myself I'd go for a playoff game when the Knicks were rocking. And my wife went when I was stuck in a train mini-camp, so I didn't get my opportunity to go then.

So it's kind of cool to be able to, you know. live out my childhood dream of being in that venue and the mecca of all sports venues, being able to get married in there. I can thank the owners of MSG for allowing us to get the opportunity to do that, knowing that we wanted a private event and everything.

So it was perfect. And the AC was cooking, baby. That was the best part. It was 110 degrees out in the middle of the, not only the Knicks winning, but then you had the World Cup raging right in the middle of Midtown. But look.

He's having a great life. The mayor married a fantastic talent. I assume she's a great person. Travis Kelsey, the Kelsey's still on a roll. He's in his 14th season with the Chiefs.

And now let's see if he can reclaim his greatness. Pete, you know, he has not been great the last couple of years, nor have the Chiefs. Definitely looked like he could have possibly retired after last season because he had such a down sting. But did you catch what he said at the end about the AC cranking?

Now, you remember that was the time when the mayor was asking people to have the temperature set to what 75 degrees? And everybody was wondering, well, MSG follow the mayor's guidelines, but obviously they didn't. Do you think he's taking a shot at the mayor? I don't think he was taking a shot, but what I caught was the fact that he confirmed that the AC was cranking at MSG when everybody else in New York City was told keep the AC up. That's another reason why I don't like rich people, right?

Us middle-class people trying to earn a living paycheck to paycheck have to live in 75 degrees. He's not getting a rich person, gets an arena for a wedding. And it's MSG, not just any arena. I like this. I'd like to thank everyone coming out, celebrating with us.

Listen, the whole world would celebrate with you. We weren't invited. Not only that, nobody was allowed to leak anything about it. Oh, thanks for celebrating with me. Don't say a word.

Crazy.

Next, World War II Memorial on the National Mall is vandalized. This is sickening. I did a feature on this with What Made America Great is unbelievably well thought out. It's unbelievably appropriate, but someone hit it with pink spray paint. The fountain overflowing with bubbles.

First, I thought they destroyed it. It looked like snow.

So they put bubbles in the fountain. Number one, how could you not have cameras on this? This is Washington, D.C. People are looking to blow up symbolic things all the time, but they say there's only temporary cameras and they didn't catch this. You believe that?

Yeah, especially if you remember the vandalism they had a few years ago where memorials and monuments were being vandalized and destroyed. You would think, hey, let's make sure we have this covered, but they failed again. Also, we haven't seen a motive for this yet, but why the World War II Memorial? Of all monuments to deface. Why this one?

Is that polarizing? Were you disappointed the Nazis lost? I mean, really? Good point.

Next, Leono Messi, having some serious doubts about his soccer future after his dad passed away at the age of 68, he said, This is what he said in his eulogy: Dad, I still can't believe you're gone. It hasn't really sunk in, or rather, I don't want it to. It's very difficult for me to imagine that I won't see you anymore, that we won't talk anymore. I know you were suffering, and that's for the best, but you left too soon. We had so much to do together.

He became basically the GM of Miami. He also is his son's agent, and they had no money growing up.

So, you see his story in Argentina. He really had almost nothing, but he was so good so early. They played in his hometown team. They thought that would be a goal. And then they realized how good he was.

They sent him over to Barcelona, I think, at the age of 11. And he ends up starring for the team, being possibly the greatest ever. But it's one of those families that legitimately. work together and actually work and made his a i say he plays a little more Did you know Fox News has a wine shop?
