The Brian Kilmeade Show

How many years have we spent listening to politicians in Washington argue about how to make healthcare insurance more affordable? Obamacare was supposed to fix it. Then we needed bigger government subsidies to make Obamacare affordable. Those subsidies expired. And guess what?

People are paying more again at some point. Maybe the question isn't, how do we keep fixing the same system? Maybe the question is, what else is out there? That's why I want you to take a look at WeShare Health. WeShare isn't health insurance.

It's a nonprofit, Christian healthcare sharing organization. And their members pay up to 60% less than they would for Obamacare. You still get access to a nationwide PPO network and over a million physicians plus unlimited telehealth.

So stop waiting for Washington or the insurance companies to make healthcare affordable for you. Do your own research. See what your options are. Call 188-WESHARE for a free quote. That's 1-888-WESHARE.

From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show.

Brian Kilmead. All right, from 48106 in Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, around the world, Brian Killmeat Show. Friend, we got that great YouTube channel. Everybody's talking about youtube.com/slash at the Brian Killmeat Show. We begin with good news.

Susie Wiles is now cancer-free. That's great news. It's amazing that she was able to work through it. You know, it's a very thin staff, the president has intentionally. Susie Wiles plays a vital role.

And after going through her breast cancer, she is cancer-free, so she's ready to go.

So that is great news. This hour, I got Alan Dershowitz joining me now, and he has quit the Democratic team. He's now a Republican. There's so many other people just disillusioned from what they're seeing on the left. Senator John used to standing by.

So before we get to Senator from Ohio, let's get to the big three. Number three. You watch what's gonna happen around. It's gonna be a really good Conclusion is going to, and it's going to happen. It's going to, I say it's going to be a little bit after the election, but maybe not.

Maybe it's before the election. That is President Donald Trump. U.S. not talking to Iran, but is talking to everyone else. How that fact could bring this to a head soon.

Number two. It's clear that Abdul has wind in his sails right now. I think now it's just a question of how strong that wind is. Here's a man. He talks every day about the high costs that American families are facing.

He's a great candidate. He's going to win. And we are all united. That is Senator Gary Peters, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and Christian Gillibrand, who believe that El Saeed is the greatest gift ever to Michigan. Midterm polls are in and GOP not happy.

Dems can't be content either, as El Saed stakes his Michigan Muslim swagger to DC and gets the same praise that Graham Plattner got. Number one. How much time do lawmakers actually have to get ahead of this before this is a big problem? Doom? Very little.

And what is a little? A few weeks? A month? Maybe a year, but not much more than a year. Dr.

Jeffrey Hinton, weighing in, one of the godfathers of AI. All debate heats up. AI debate heats up. And it's as usual, divides on party lines like everything else. We look at the fears and the politics behind it all.

And let's bring in Senator Hajusted now. Senator, welcome back. Great to be with you. Senator, first off, on this AI debate, Where do you stand? Are you aware of that?

I've leaned in early on tech, particularly as it relates to kids, whether it's social media, AI chatbots, you should have regulations around them to protect people. I've likened AI to fire. It can keep your house warm or it can burn it down. And so what do we have? We have fire codes.

We have some rules and regulations around it to make sure that it's used safely, prepared safely. Same principle applies to AI. It can be used for good or evil. Let's do the good things, stop the bad things. But we're still exploring what it can do, right?

Of course. All technologies evolve, but we need to protect people from rogue AI. We can do that. This doesn't have to be all or nothing. We can build guardrails around this just like we do every other consumer product.

We have a lot to talk about, but just on this, I understand Wall Street Journal reporting in April, the President had an executive order ready to go that said they would subject AI models to oversight from the government as they were developing. Besant was for it, Susie Wiles was for it, David Sachs wasn't, and the president went with David Sachs.

So, I don't really want government overlooking something as cutting edge that they know little about, unless you're one of the few, and it's hard to be an AI expert and be a lawmaker. You know, you can't be good at everything. It's not possible, especially when you talk about something as unique as artificial intelligence. But where do you stand on that?

Well, first of all, it's not just an American conversation. It has to be an international conversation. If we put rules around it that China isn't willing to live by, then there aren't really any rules around it because people just go around and use tools that are built in other countries.

So this has to be a framework where we protect against harmful aspects of it. It has to be at an international agreement. And I hope when President Xi comes to the United States, that that's something that he and President Trump can talk about. Senator Houston, by the way, we can't talk about politics because you're in your Senate office as a sitting center room, but we know you're in a tough race right now.

Now, the other thing is, which is red hot in Ohio, is data centers. And You need data centers, we know it. But there's certain tha and you're pro data center, but you also have some some stipulations that come with that, correct? Yeah, we want to make sure that the data centers are building their own power, building their own infrastructure, and being responsible for any costs associated with that, so that the costs are not passed along to local consumers and electric ratepayers. We have legislation to do that.

I'm leading it in the Senate. It passed the House of Representatives 417 to 3 yesterday. Think about that. Talk about overwhelming bipartisan support. And so that any new data center should be a local decision and that the data center should assume 100% of any cost of the electric generation or distribution.

How do you do that? How do you provide your own energy source? if you have something as massive as a data center. Look, there are many ways you can do this. You can build gas-fire power plants.

That's what we're very good at doing in Ohio. You can build nuclear. You can keep a coal plant that maybe was designated for closure. You can keep that open. There are a number of ways that they can do this.

But the private sector will do it faster and more innovative than the government will. That's why putting the onus on the data center company in the end will get you the lowest cost, most innovative solution. All right.

So I want to talk to some other things you're working on. I just had Patrick McEnroe on. I know he testified yesterday, talking about the foreign influence when it comes to sports in colleges. Uh and it would be great to have an American be able to get a scholarship while not telling international athletes, they can't play. Where do you stand on that when it comes to tennis and soccer and other sports?

A lot of Americans don't have a shot because some twenty three year old comes over here and they have their country pay full freight. Yeah, I've been leading on this issue. I've introduced legislation in the Senate to cap the number of roster spots from foreign athletes in American colleges and universities. I, my wife, two of my children have all played college sports. It's been an essential part of our character building.

I wouldn't be a U.S. Senator if I hadn't played college football. It developed character and toughness. And I don't want those opportunities to be denied to American citizens, American student athletes, because of all of foreign influence. Remember, we're trying to, Congress is being asked by colleges to protect college sports with the NIL and the transfer portal and all of those things.

I want to protect it for American student athletes. Here's a great stat. In the Paris Olympics, 63% of the NCAA-affiliated athletes participated for other countries. They were on other countries' Olympic teams because they weren't American citizens. I just, I'm not talking about banning the opportunity.

We welcome foreign athletes, but we just don't. Want him to take all the roster spots. We need to cap it at a reasonable level. We've picked 20%. Yeah, I know how to pay of the roster spots for American athletes.

I think that would be great. I went to, I played Division II soccer. 80% of my team was international.

So I mean you got a handful of Americans on the team.

So, and now they want Division I? I don't even think they're looking at U.S. kids. They're all coming from other countries. This is Patrick McEnroe and I complete agreement on this because this is what's going to happen.

When you start putting more and more money into college sports, which is going to happen for even the non-revenue sports, you're going to see more and more. Professional athletes from Europe want to play American college sports.

So, Senator, where do you stand on what Senator Cruz was offering? That was actually a bipartisan offer. I forgot who the Democrat was. That's Cantwell. Excuse me, Senator Cantwell.

They're offering on the Reform College Sports Act. How do you feel about that? I know you had a vote of 70-plus votes for, right? It's a good bill, but it could be better if we would put this limit on the number of foreigners. Yeah, and it should be part of the bill.

Is there pushback on that? Yeah, there's some pushback on that.

Okay. Anytime you bring up the sort of the idea of looking out for American student athletes, you get, or American citizens, you get pushback from Democrats. I expect the Chinese government to look out for Chinese student athletes, the French government to look out for French student athletes. I expect the American government to look out for American student athletes, particularly in NCA sports, because there's nothing like it in the world. They don't have this system in other countries like we have it here.

And Senator, through the flip side, if I'm a coach and I want to keep my job. I might have to get that German center back. Right? Because if I don't win, I don't keep my job. And unless you rein me in.

I have to get the best players available, even if I bleed red, white, and blue, correct? Yeah, if you're coaches are being forced because of the rules to recruit some of these athletes outside of America.

So if you set the ceiling at 20% of rockers, they'll all have the same rules. It will work out just fine. Senator, you're also working with Bernie Moreno to lead an effort to stop illegal immigrants from obtaining driver's licenses. That's been a passion of HHS, of transportation, I should say, with Sean Duffy. How are you approaching this?

Yeah, in Ohio, we've had in a nine-day period, three Ohioans get killed on our roads because of illegal aliens driving. And we found out that there are 19 states in the District of Columbia who issue drive-only licenses to people who are illegally in this country. Illegal aliens getting driver's licenses. In this case, in Ohio, it was Connecticut that got the driver's license.

So we want to stop. We want to stop funding Any sanctuary state that is giving out these driver's licenses for illegal aliens, stop their highway funding and force them to come into compliance with sanity that we don't issue driver's licenses to people who are not legally in this country. Ha ha ha. How many Democrats are pushing back on this or at least not supporting this? Do you have any Democrats this seems logical, not controversial.

So are Democrats saying, no, I want illegals to drive? We've sent letters to all the governors, and any response we have is in complete defense of their position. And they think it's a good thing. But look, this is why the border policy that Joe Biden and people like Sharon Brown from Ohio, the open border policy, we're still dealing with it today. Even though President Trump has closed off the border and we haven't had any border incursions in 16 months, you still have millions of people that are in this country illegally doing things like getting driver's licenses in blue states and killing people on American highways.

Senator Lastley, Uh, the Canadian deal that didn't happen, and I've been talking to a lot of people, they blew it up. And we know the President can be volatile, and we know the Commerce Secretary Howard Luttnick can be volatile, but it really looks like the Canadians blew it up. And they might be playing politics in doing so. What's your reaction? Because I imagine Ohio is affected.

Uh look, Ohio and Canada, America benefit when we have a fair trade deal. But the Prime Minister of Canada seems to have Trump derangement syndrome too. He dislikes Donald Trump so much he's not willing to do things that are even in his best interest. And the bottom line is, I want this to all come to an end. I want a fair trade arrangement with Canada and Mexico.

But one thing Canada and Mexico have to stop doing is allowing China to backdoor our trade deals. Moving products into Canada, into Mexico, and then bringing them into America tariff-free. That's one of the things that I know the President cares about. That's what I hear from Ohio businesses. They're tired of China under this is what happens.

They undercut American business, they put Americans out of business in certain sectors, and then they raise prices and have a monopoly on it. We have to get a fair trade deal that protects us against China's backdoor attempts to get products into America through Canada. And Senator, how is Ohio affected? Look, we trade with, we have a strong trading alliance with China. A lot of things are covered under the existing trade deals.

These are issues that are outside of that trade deal. I hope that we can bring this to a conclusion as soon as possible. Senator John Usted, by the way, I talked about your sports career. It's going to be in a book I have coming out next year. Just know he's not just talking about it.

Sports played a vital role in your life. Senator John Usted, thanks so much. I'm glad you're doing this. Great. Thanks, Brian.

Back in a moment. Where big stories meet bigger conversations. Stay informed and energized with the Brian Kilmead Show. How many years have we spent listening to politicians in Washington argue about how to make healthcare insurance more affordable? Obamacare was supposed to fix it.

Then we needed bigger government subsidies to make Obamacare affordable. Those subsidies expired, and guess what? People are paying more again at some point. Maybe the question isn't, how do we keep fixing the same system? Maybe the question is, what else is out there?

Or visit weShareHealth.org and take a look for yourself. Oh no. A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. scientists are telling us.

that if we don't act incredibly boldly, Within the next six, seven years, There will be irreparable damage done not just to Nevada, not just to Vermont or Massachusetts, but to the entire world. Joe said it right. This is an existential threat. Remember, that is. Ha ha, you thought I we you thought that Eric was playing a clip.

From Bernie Sanders' speech yesterday or two days ago when he talked about the end of the world because of AI. No, it's climate change, and the world should have been ended by now. Remember, he was on stage in 2015 saying the world's going to end. AOC, the world's got 12 years left. Al Gore, if we didn't change everything that we were doing, getting rid of the combustion engine, I think by 2020, it would be over.

Glaciers will be overflowing your backyard. Barack Obama said the same thing when he signed the Paris Accord, and then he buys beachfront property. Right. We all know that was a ruse.

Now, I am not saying that fears about AI, because there's so many smart people that have legitimate concerns, are a ruse, but just know. You don't just change like this in four days. Just please, when Barack Obama spent a weekend telling Hakeem Jeffries and anyone at his fundraisers that we should make the we meaning Democrats should make it their number one issue. If he cared about the country and not just about the party, he would make a speech. And it wouldn't say Democrats or Republicans.

He says, listen, I talk to the biggest and most important scientists in the world. I'm a global figure. And I'm really concerned about the future of AI. But instead, he tells it to Democrats, and you go run on it. That's not a guy that wants to improve things.

That's a guy that wants to win the midterms, if you ask me. Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of Palantir, one of the PayPal guys too. Was on with Will Kane yesterday. And he talked about what this really means. and what he sees behind it.

Cut seven. The woke ones are the worst, but you got Steve Bannon pairing with Bernie at that same conference. I call it the BBC. It's Bannon, Bernie, and the CCP. It's crazy guys on both sides.

And you got Josh Hawley proposing regulation here. This is a really interesting time, Will, because you have. Dozens of NGOs that are trying to astroturf this AI panic. We had lots of people call me and my friends this weekend. There's a panic going on because they're trying to scare people, because they want people scared, because they want to put new rules in place to capture things.

And the same way they want to scare us with climate change or scare us with God knows what killer bees in the past, they're now trying to scare us with this, and they're trying to use it to push communism, push globalism, and push a lot of regulatory capture. And we're not going to allow it. We shouldn't let them do it. I thought it was murder. Was it like the murder bee?

I feel like there was a murder wasp or something. I I d do you remember, Eric? Wasn't it I feel like a murder hornets? Yeah, the murder hornets. Yes.

Did we did that? That ended up killing us? Did you know? That do you know anybody that's not? The Myrtle Hornets.

That by the way, best name ever. Best name ever. And that should be if I was to pick up an intramural team in any sport, That would be the name of my team, my nine-year-olds. Murder Hornets. Who would want to play us?

We're going for the jugular.

So we'll talk about this because as I mentioned, you heard me with Senator Usted. President Trump was concerned enough, so was Susie Wiles, and so was the Treasury Secretary, to say, hey, why don't we just set up some oversight on?

Some of these models. And it was all about mythos. And mythos scared a lot of people. And got everybody's attention. But then in the end, David's text goes, no, let them govern themselves.

So if you know, if this was February. I'd be more open to an honest debate. But we're in September. We're 47 days into the midterms. Everyone's looking for an edge.

Al Dershowitz next. How many years have we spent listening to politicians in Washington argue about how to make health care insurance more affordable? Obamacare was supposed to fix it. Then we needed bigger government subsidies to make Obamacare affordable. Those subsidies expired, and guess what?

People are paying more again at some point. Maybe the question isn't, how do we keep fixing the same system? Maybe the question is, what else is out there?

and take a look for yourself. A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmead. Free. Palestine.

I said free. Palestine to all of my Jewish brothers and sisters. Criticism of Israel. Criticism of apartheid being against genocide in no way is a criticism of you.

So I say, free Palestine. I say free Lebanon, I say free Cuba, I say free Congo, free Sudan, free all people in America living in fear over this terrorist organization ICE. I mean, is there one word of that? Did you agree with? Not me.

So uneducated, such an idiot, but speaks for so many, it's scary. And that is Mac Lamore opening up for Ed Sheeran at the Meadowlands and alienating most of the country, but not enough of the country.

Now people are mad at Ed Sheeran for not standing by him and Bob Kraft for canceling him at Foxborough and talking to other stadiums about canceling him as long as Mac Lamore opened up for Ed Sheeran. Ed Sheeran now says, Hey, Bob Kraft, would you donate money to to the Middle East for people who are oppressed or in need. And he said, Yeah, I'll give two million dollars. McLemore said, I want you to match my one million. To what?

To the to the Palestinians? Alan Dershowitz, a professor of former professor over at Harvard University, author of a brand new book, Why I Quit the Dems, and So Should You, Confessions of a Reluctant Republican, joins us now. Professor, welcome back. I just want you to respond to those statements which are sadly not rare. And the sentiment from McLemore.

What are your thoughts about this?

Well, they're pure anti-Semitism. They're just attempting to To destroy Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people. They're singling out Israel. For the only country at fault in the Middle East. They failed to acknowledge October 7th and what happened, and yet.

Today, the world is turning against Israel. Look, anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism is the greatest threat to civil liberties and civil rights in the world today. Far more than racism, sexism, homophobia, why? All those are in the right trajectory, in the right direction. But the fight against anti-Semitism is in the wrong direction.

More people are becoming anti-Semites. The world is turning against Jews. The world is turning against Israel. We're in 1932, Germany, today, not 1935 or 6, but 1932. We're seeing the beginning of worldwide hatred of Jews and the Jewish state.

And I'm going to devote my life fighting against that, fighting for America, fighting for Israel, fighting for Judeo-Christian values that we all, most of us at least, stand for and support. I'm going to take on these two issues. Let's just knock this out of the park. Is Israel an apartheid state? No, it's the most diverse non-apartheid state in the whole Middle East and among the top 10 in the world.

Most Israelis come from ethnic backgrounds. They come from the Middle East. They come from Russia. They come from Asia. They come from all over the world.

And everybody has equal rights in Israel. Every other country in the Middle East, every single one is an apartheid state. Every single one discriminates based on religion, based on gender. I mean, my God, if you're a woman, you can't drive a car in half of the Middle East countries.

So Israel is the only non-apartheid state in the Middle East. And what's happened is Israel's enemies transpose everything. Everything that Israel isn't, they blame on Israel. And everything that they are, those countries that make the accusation, they focus on Israel. No, Israel is not an apartheid state.

It hasn't committed genocide. It isn't even close to genocide. If they wanted to kill the Palestinians, they could easily do so. Palestinian population has increased. Aid to the Palestinians has increased.

Israel has vaccinated and given medical aid to Palestinians. The ratio of civilian to combatant deaths is lower in the Middle East and in Israel than in any other army in the world.

So everything that they say about Israel is the opposite. And you can point to Israel's enemies as it being true about them, but not about Israel.

So it's the Goebbels notion. If you repeat lies often enough, people will believe it. I just wanted to bring you to the New York Times because they talked about this and they had a massive correction. And I thought about you. I was so glad you booked today, and you have your book out on now, Why I Quit the Dems.

They put it they have an article talking about what's going on over in Gaza. They say Israelis are deeply divided about how to appropriation blame for the policy, military and intelligence failures that preceded the attacks on october seventh, but the Israelis still largely view themselves As the victims of October 7th, really? Largely view themselves? They quickly made a correction the next day in the New York Times, and they said, because of an editing error, an earlier version of the article included a statement that was intended to convey Israeli's perception of the government's military response to October 7th, terror attack in relation to the attack.

So they fixed it. But why would the New York Times, a global newspaper, Write that. Is that really an editor's mistake? No, of course not. I challenge the New York Times to find any editors' mistakes that favor Israel.

Every editor's mistake that they admit to is against Israel because the New York Times has been biased against Israel since before it was established. Remember, the New York Times was opposed to the establishment of Israel. The New York Times refused to report on the Holocaust. The New York Times praised Stalin. They got a Pulitzer Prize.

And the New York Times is not a responsible newspaper when it comes to reporting on the Middle East. And so no, read the New York Times with great skepticism because understand that tomorrow there'll be corrections. Fortunately, they do make corrections. That's good. but they make corrections only in one direction because they make mistakes only in one direction.

Alan Dershowitz, our guest. Hassan Piker, who is the spiritual leader of this rise of the left, is certainly of Abdul El-Saeed of Michigan. He's been on the show, of his show, four or five times. They campaigned together at least seven times, two of which are on college campuses. Listen to what he said.

We enrolled the second one, Eric, on Hamas over Israel. I think it connects to another comment of yours that's been circulating. This is one from January. Hamas is a thousand times better than the fascist settler colonial apartheid state. I stand by that.

Do you actually? Mean that, or is that a rhetorical move, or like a solidarity signal? Like, what? I mean, it's all of the above. I do mean it.

I think it's a rhetorical move because it frustrates a lot of people. I've also said I'm a harm reduction voter, I'm a lesser evil voter, and therefore I would vote for Hamas over Israel every single time. Your thoughts on this guy that's had the whole squad on, Bernie Sanders on his show, Roe Conna on his show.

Well, he also said that America deserved 9-11 and that Israel deserved October 7th. Tell that to the young babies, the orphans, the widows who lost people in the World Towers and who lost people on October 7th. This is a vicious, anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-Semitic person, and anybody who campaigns with him should be disqualified from holding office. I mean, this is not guilt by association. This is guilt by Directly and incorporating him into your campaign.

When you campaigned for Hassan Piker and with him, you're supporting him and he's supporting you. And no self-respecting person should vote for El Said. And yet, a lot of Jews are voting for El Said. Remember, 7,000 Jews voted for Adolf Hitler in 1932. Jews could be some of the stupidest people on the face of the earth when it comes to their unwillingness to protect themselves and put other people and radicalism before they put their protection of Judaism.

So, you know, Jews are part of the problem here, self-hating Jews. And there are many of them out there. Bernie Sanders, of course, is the leader. Didn't the Jewish community in New York City help put Mondami in office? There's no question that many Jews voted for Mondami, just like many Jews voted for Hitler.

And I think some have come to regret it, others have not come to regret it. They will come to regret it over time. And I'm going to be seeing B.B. Netanyahu when he comes to New York next week. And I will be walking with him to protect him, to make sure that Mondami doesn't foolishly try to arrest him.

I don't think he will, but he made that threat as part of an effort to try to increase anti-Semitism and divide New Yorkers about Netanyahu and about Israel. That's what he tries to do. Professor Dershowitz, I think that the NYPD wouldn't answer that call if they were told to go to a hotel room and arrest the Prime Minister of Israel. I can't see one NYPD officer that would do that. But I want you to hear this.

Abdul El-Syed was asked about Piker yesterday, Cut seventeen. Do you need to shift more to the middle? Do you think if you're in the general election even disavowing Hassan Pike or shifting to the middle Japanese people? You know what I mean? This conversation is so far removed.

from what people are talking about every day in Michigan. People sit at their kitchen tables and ask, How am I going to make this work next month? That's not a middle. Right, left issue. That's a basic affordability issue.

So care about. Standing up to corporations, taking on the power of those corporations to pick your pocket, to buy off politicians, those are issues everybody cares about. And that's what I'm talking about. He wouldn't entertain it, and he wouldn't disavow it.

Well, that's what Hitler said in 1932. Don't listen to what people are saying about my anti-Semitism. I'm going to help the economy. I'm going to give jobs to people. I'm going to restore German dignity.

Change the subject. No, you can't change the subject. Israel anti-Semitism has become a core issue. That's why anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism are the most fundamental hates in the world today, and why every civil libertarian and civil rights activist should prioritize the fight against anti-Semitism if you really believe in universal civil rights and civil liberties. You don't have to be Jewish or a supporter of Israel to see hate when it's out there.

So, when you decide to help President Trump, I think in his second impeachment, you got a lot of people that. First impeachment, excuse me. You got a lot of people that got very mad at you. You never left the Democratic Party. You just said, I'm a lawyer.

I'm going to defend President Trump. He asked me to help out. Could you describe how you view what many people think is Trump derangement syndrome?

Well, Trump derangement syndrome is very similar to BV derangement syndrome. That is, you can talk about any subject rationally, but when you mention Trump, people lose their minds. They forget about the ability to analyze issues. And, you know, Trump and Natanu both have that in common. They bring out the worst in people, they also bring out the best in people, but they bring out the derangement syndrome.

And you can't have a conversation with people who take that view. When I defended Donald Trump, look, I've defended. Everybody. I defended O.J. Simpson, I defended Laus von Bulo.

And people criticize me, yes, but they didn't disassociate themselves. They didn't censor me. They didn't ban me. But once I defended Donald Trump, they banned me and didn't allow me to speak at libraries, at various venues, including public government places.

So I'm fighting back. And, you know, my major form of fighting back now is leaving the Democratic Party. That's why I wrote the book, Why I Quit the Dems and So Should You. I got the first copies of the book yesterday, and I'm so pleased that the back cover is just Donald Trump praising the book and welcoming me to the Republican Party and urging everybody to read the book as a way of sending a message to the Democrats that they are no longer pro-American and no longer a party that can be supported by mainstream people. Many people who used to be Democrats are now joining the Republican Party, and I'm going to help them do that.

I want to make sure the Democrats don't get control. Of the House and the Senate, and have people like El Saeed as chairman of committees. That would be a disaster for America.

So, you know, in one way, some people might say, hey, why don't you try to reform the Democratic Party? You've been there your whole life. But then you look at Senator Fetterman. Senator Fetterman is ostracized. He can't even hang out in the cloakroom with Democrats at the Senate.

And in Pennsylvania, among Democrats, he's got 19% approval. He votes most of the time with the Democratic Party. He just stands up for Israel consistently. And he stands up against people like El Syed and some of the people that are allowed in the big tent. He doesn't buy that.

So There's an intolerance to a so-called moderate. But he's not really moderate. He's only moderate when it comes to foreign policy in Israel. And that's not even moderate. That's just doing the right thing.

I had dinner with Fetterman on Martha's Vineyard a couple of weeks ago. He's a wonderful man, a man of great principle, a man who stands up. Against opposition, a man who stands for the right things. And if everybody in the Democratic Party were Fetimans, I'd have remained a Democrat. I have a shirt that somebody sent me says, Fetterman, the last sane Democrat.

Yeah, but Fetterman is not the Democratic Party. He probably will lose the primary and will have to run as an independent. The same thing happened to Joe Lieberman. He was too pro-Israel for the Democrats, and he lost the primary. Fortunately, he was able to win the election.

I think Fetterman would win again, but he'd win with the support of Republicans. He's bipartisan, and the last thing America wants today is bipartisan. Do you think that Senator Fetterman will follow your lead, Professor Dershowitz, and leave the Democratic Party? I hope he doesn't have to. I hope he can succeed in reforming.

I tried to reform the Democratic Party. When I initially left, I didn't become a Republican. I became an independent, like my wife. But then I realized I want to make sure the Democrats do not gain control of the House and Senate. They probably will gain control of the House, and that will be terrible for America.

And we will see the chairmanship of departments go to AOC and go to very, very anti-American people who will hurt America. And I think we'll see that. And I think that would have the opposite impact on the next presidential election.

So let's see what happens. I'm hoping the Democrats lose control of both houses, but I think they will gain control of the House of Representatives. Alan Dershowitz, his book is just out. It's this week, right? Yes.

Why I quit the Democratic Party? And so should you. Always love talking to you, Professor. Thanks so much for joining us today. My pleasure to have here.

Thank you. He took the bold move. Back in a moment, Brian Kilmeicho. Both sides. All opinions.

It's Brian Killmeat. How many years have we spent listening to politicians in Washington argue about how to make healthcare insurance more affordable? Obamacare was supposed to fix it. Then we needed bigger government subsidies to make Obamacare affordable. Those subsidies expired, and guess what?

People are paying more again at some point. Maybe the question isn't, how do we keep fixing the same system? Maybe the question is, what else is out there? That's why I want you to take a look at WeShare Health. WeShare isn't health insurance, it's a nonprofit, Christian healthcare sharing organization, and their members pay up to 60% less than they would for Obamacare.

You still get access to a nationwide PPO network and over a million physicians plus unlimited telehealth.

So stop waiting for Washington or the insurance companies to make healthcare affordable for you. Do your own research. See what your options are. Call 188-WESHARE for a free quote. That's 1-888-WESHARE.

Or visit weSharehealth.org and take a look for yourself. Mm-hmm. The more you listen, the more you'll know. It's Brian Kilmead. We need to see how we can stop super intelligence, how we can stop self-improving AI, and what we need to do to have federal regulation.

It's a huge safety risk. And as a representative from Silicon Valley, I'm very concerned. The rapid avastment of AI sped up this conversation where now you have actual harm happening to companies and to people. I think the president needs to change his mind about being willing to put up AI safety and AI guardrails. This is a potential national emergency.

So that is three Democrats, Chris Taluzzo of Pennsylvania, Ted Liu, and Roe Conna, California and California, was speaking out, demanding guardrails. Roe Conna might know a lot more, a little bit more than most because his constituents is, and his district is Silicon Valley, so you imagine he absorbs a lot of that. But when Bernie Sanders is leading the alarmist charge, I'm just out. There's no way that I will be backing Bernie Sanders. His instincts are terrible, and he's got an anti-American, anti-Israel bent.

But yesterday I thought it was pretty cool. Senator Kennedy came out and says, can we agree on this? If you're so concerned about AI being out of control, can we demand a kill switch on all these models?

So for some reason, Senator Thune said, no, I'm not going to do that.

So he had to go out there and put a and go out and pitch it and ask for unanimous consent, and he got it, except for one guy. Rand Paul blocked it. It would have been required tech companies to build an emergency AI shutdown mechanism, a so called kill switch. It makes no sense to stop it. But Rand Paul just has to stand in the way of anything And everything.

What I think is going to be interesting, and because Trump loves to do this stuff. Trump officials are considering a separate AI summit next week because, you know, the whole world's coming here because of the United Nations down the block. During President Xi's visit, Focus on AI's future and potential risks. He's talking about OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expected to at the state dinner, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Wong at the state dinner, among the other executives going to be invited. I imagine Elon Musk, too, obviously would be invited.

We've got Tesla with a huge presence over in China. And then David Sachs, and have a meeting. You know, don't give up the house. Don't say this is how Chap GPT works. Don't say, here's the combination to Grock.

But see what President Xi says about this. Is there legitimate concern on that side? Hey, my book, United States, comes out October 13th. Pre-order it now at BrianKilney.com. How many years have we spent listening to politicians in Washington argue about how to make healthcare insurance more affordable?

Obamacare was supposed to fix it. Then we needed bigger government subsidies to make Obamacare affordable. Those subsidies expired, and guess what? People are paying more again at some point. Maybe the question isn't: how do we keep fixing the same system?

All right, from 48th through 6th of Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, around the world. Brian Kilmeicho coming your way on this Thursday.

Appreciate everybody listening, watching. A lot of things are happening on Capitol Hill, the Senate's in session, so you got to think they have to get something done. Everything's about AI these days. Mark Thiessen standing by. Senator Shelley Moore Capito at the bottom of the hour.

We'll see where this goes. Also got some new polls from Fox and some good news. Susie Wiles is now cancer-free. How she was able to work this whole time while going through intensive therapy is unbelievable. But let's get to the big three.

Number three. You watch what's going to happen to RAN. It's going to be a really good conclusion. And it's going to happen. I say it's going to be a little bit after the election, but maybe not.

Maybe it's before the election. Well, see, what does Mark Thiessen think about that? U.S. not talking to Iran, but is talking to everybody else. I'm talking about the Gulf states.

Could this bring this whole thing to a head soon? Number two. It's clear that Abdul has wind in his sales right now. I think now it's just a question of how strong that wind is. Here's a man.

He talks every day about the high costs that American families are facing. He's a great candidate. He's going to win, and we are all united. Really? They talk every day about what it takes?

That's tremendous, Elizabeth Warren. Midterm polls are in, and GOP not happy, but Dems cannot be content as El Said takes his Michigan Muslim swagger to Washington, D.C. He gets the same praise Graeme Plattner got. Where did that get him? Number one.

How much time do lawmakers actually have to get ahead of this before this is a big problem? Very little. And what is a little? A few weeks? A month?

Maybe a year, but not much more than a year. The godfather of AI. The debate heats up and, as usual, divides on party lines. We look at the fears and the politics behind it all. Mark Thiessen, we talk about a lot of different things.

I want to talk about Iran in detail, but I do want to get your take on AI and what the debate is on Capitol Hill. First off, why did Rand Paul stop the vote on the kill switch yesterday? I have no idea. I have no idea. This AI debate is an existential debate, and not in the way people are presenting it.

The idea that AI could destroy humanity in 10 years. It's about as likely as a humanity-destroying asteroid hitting the Earth. Uh it's possible. But it's not likely, right? What is uh dangerous, the real and present danger is that we freak out And slow down our AI development and lose the AI arms race with China.

And that would really pose an existential threat to America because. We're in a AI arms race that's that's as consequential as the nuclear arms race in during the Cold War, but there's a major difference, which is when we had a missile gap with the Russians, To catch up, all we had to do is just increase our production. With AI, if we fall behind It's possible we could never catch up. Because AI is self-improving, right?

So if you get ahead of the AI in the AI development, then what it means is AI is creating your next generation of AI. And if your AI is smarter, it's going to create it faster and better. And so it's an accelerating development cycle. And if you fall behind, then the Chinese and the Chinese fall ahe get ahead of us. will never catch up.

They will have AI, permanent AI superiority. By contrast, if we get ahead of the AI cycle and improve and develop AI faster and better than them. then they can never catch up with us.

So the question is not whether AI is going to emerge, whether it's going to change our society in ways that we may not understand yet. It's a question of who is going to have AI superiority and technological superiority and apply that to military and apply that to economics and apply that to everything else. We cannot let totalitarian regime like Communist China, the Chinese Communist Party, develop and maintain AI superiority over us. But I just want you to hear one of the godfathers of AI, Dr. Jeffrey Hinton, is a little more concerned than you, cut too.

It's something like a little Chernobyl, this hugging face accident, where a lot of AIs escaped the bans that were put on them. These were rogue agents. And what's happening is the big companies are developing AI as fast as possible. They're in a race to develop the most intelligent AI. And we're developing a new kind of being.

And when you develop a new kind of being, intelligence isn't the only thing you should think about. You should think about how this being's going to behave, whether it's going to, for example, protect human interests, whether it's going to like us. And not nearly enough research is going into that.

So that's his analogy.

Well, his analogy of using Chernobyl, I'll turn it around on him and say, so that's like saying we should slow the development of nuclear energy because of Chernobyl. No. look at nuclear energy right now. Chernobyl happened in the eighties and look at where nuclear technology is today. It's safer and greener and more effective than ever before.

I mean, this is here's what what people don't understand. Do you think that if we slow down our AI development, That China's going to slow down their AI development too because we're all so concerned about humanity? No, that's. They're going to keep going and they're going to go faster and they're going to go harder than we are, and we're going to fall behind. We have to own this technology.

We have to control it. We have agency. We can prevent the worst case scenarios from happening. There's we have to do it responsibly, but we have to do it faster than them. We have to win the AI race because once we fall behind, there is no catching up.

Would you like to see any oversight besides these companies looking after each other? And there should be oversight in the sense that just like there's oversight of there's the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that supervises the nuclear technology. Of course we have to the Congress has to have oversight, government has to have oversight, but we don't this is what we're talking about now on the left. It's like an AI freeze, like the nuclear freeze. Right?

You know, there's a state, Bernie Sanders has a bill to pause all AI development. It's like, that's insane. You know, and what we don't want to have is. A collective freak out where we start slowing down our development. in ways that prevent us from that allow China to leapfrog us.

We have to beat we have to do it responsibly, but we have to do it fast. And I understand that it's unnerving because we don't know how it's going to transform society. And there's a big difference also between AI and the nuclear arms race, which is nuclear weapons only had one purpose, which is to kill, right? AI is going to save lives. AI is going to cure diseases.

AI is going to improve food and production, and it's going to prevent starvation, and it's going to solve all sorts of problems for us that we have not been able to solve for ourselves. It's going to unleash humans. It's also going to have, it's the double-edged sword, it's going to have some downsides, and we don't know what all of those are, and we can't anticipate what all of those are yet. But we have to be in charge of it. We have to control it.

We have to lead in it. And if we seed that leadership, we're not just letting it not happen. We're letting Communist China do it first. And that's unacceptable. All right, so let's switch over to Iran.

The Houthi rebels met with us over the weekend in Oman with our representative and said, hey, we don't have a problem with you. Our problem is with Saudi Arabia. And we're not going to hit you or Israel. Uh in the Red Sea. But I got a huge problem with them.

Because they've slowed down all traffic in the Red Sea, the the Baba Ba what is it called, the Al the Abab o Mandeb straight.

So you take those two straits and you diminish traffic and you have oil over $100 a barrel. Should we be talking to the Houthis or just souting with the Sa siding with the Saudis? We should be talking to the Hoopies and telling them that if the consequences if they hit an American ship or international traffic in the strait. And look, I got to tell you, I'm a little bit frustrated with Saudi Arabia because several times now we've been ready to go and finish the job in Iran and the Saudis have been pulling us back.

So, you know, I understand why Donald Trump is not all of the now all of a sudden the Saudis are coming to us saying we need your help with the Houthis. Um, sorry, you know, we needed your help with Iran and you wouldn't give it to us.

So, you know, my sympathies are not with the Saudis on this. And if, you know, and so if they have consequences with the Houthis, then, you know, maybe they should be a little bit more helpful to us with Iran. Axios reports that Trump will meet with Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman next Tuesday on the sidelines of the U.S. General Assembly. We know that the blockade's working.

The over-the-land Plan B that they have is not working. The Wall Street Journal writes about that today. They're not able to get through the Pakistan border. They're not able to get through the Turkmenistan border.

So that's working.

So they're definitely feeling the pressure. But they're willing to suck it up because the leadership is not feeling it as much as the everyday people. Would you wait for the Iranians to do their October surprise? Or is there something, Mark Thiessen, that we could be working on rather than be reacting to? Yeah.

I'm very worried that they husbanded some military resources.

So look, we've talked about this before, but we stopped the war on the 20-yard line, right? We had another two weeks to go to finish the job in terms of really hitting destroying them militarily. I am grateful for the 80 yards. because it's eighty yards more than any other President has given us, right? Donald Trump has done more damage to the Iranian regime than any President in American history.

We've been at war with these people for forty seven years. They've been waging war on us. We haven't been fighting back. They're fine we're finally fighting back. But those 20 yards left them with some capability.

And I'm worried that they might try and use it before the election to restart the war, to kill some Americans, to disrupt oil right before people go to vote, because they think if they, you know, we were everybody so freaking out about Russia, Russia, Russia in 2016, we should be worried about Iran, Iran, Iran right now, because the Iranians want to elect the Democrats. Because they think the Democrats will cut off funding for the war. Right. So I worry about that, but what I'm hearing between the lines, and this is nothing that Trump has said to me directly, but I'm just knowing him and listening to him, he keeps saying it'll be over right after the midterms. What does that mean?

I think it means he's going to finish the job after the midterms. And so if I was the Iranians, I'd be pretty worried. I want you to Arthur Busick is the former surface warfare officer. Joined Fox and Friends First this morning. Cut 30.

It certainly is possible. The President is a very skillful negotiator and the ability to put pressure on both sides. We have been conducting targeted strikes on Iran, and the Iranians are also showing their ability to conduct asymmetric warfare on U.S. and American shipping. as well as international affect the international global uh movement of vessels across the sea.

So he also has a feeling there's something going on. I mean, the other thing would be we're meeting. I know there's meetings going on in Israel right now. They're prepared for being attacked, but they had not been attacked in months. Do you think that there is a way where the president looks at this whole situation and says, I'm going to go back to uh Epic Fury.

The military version?

So I think it is unlikely, though not impossible, that the Iranians will attack Israel before the midterms because as part of an October surprise, because they understand that there's no hesitancy on the part of the Israelis to hit them. If they hit Israel, Israel is going to unleash the fury on Iran, and they don't want that. They think that we are hesitant. And so they think that therefore they can get away with stuff with us. I think they're going to be very shocked after the midterm elections as to what Donald Trump's response is, because I think.

There's a plan in place, and he has the capability of. Finishing the job. And so, we destroyed 85% of their defense industrial base during Operation Epic Fury. Let's destroy 95 of it. Let's eliminate their oil refineries and all the economic tools that feed the regime.

Let's take out the airports that allow them to trade by air and receive military aid from access of aggressor countries through the air. Let's cut off their land routes and their bridges so they can't trade by ground. And then let's arm the Iranian people. and help them overthrow the regime so we can get rid of them. Uh this this whole thing Will not end decisively until the regime is gone.

And I think we have a historic opportunity. President Trump has an historic opportunity. To rid this region of this regime, he's the most courageous person in the region. I think we've got a lot of frightened sisters in our alliance over there who need him to step up and just do. It because they're not going to.

If he asked them for permission or he asked them for help, a lot of them are not going to do it because they're afraid. All right.

He's got to finish it. I want to talk about Ukraine real quick. The House passed the Lindsey Graham sanctioning bill sanctioning Russia and Iran 262 to 159. They already passed through Senate 8611. This allows them to go after secondary sanctions and individuals in Russia.

So if you're India and you're going to still buy Russian oil, we're going to sanction you. If you're Europe, we'll do the same thing. Of course, that's Brazil. That's Turkey. Number one, you think the president signs it and you think he'll use it.

I think he will. I think he said that he would sign it that he supported it. He asked Congress to pass it.

So I think he's going to sign it, and I think he's going to use it. Um and I think I think that uh look I I think Putin is in a world of hurt. I think something like 45% of his refining capacity has been taken down. That the Ukrainians are delivering pain to Russia commensurate with the pain that the Russians are delivering to the Ukrainian people, except they're not targeting civilians. By the way, Ukraine could be doing.

To Russia, what exactly what Russia is doing. They could hit civilian neighborhoods, they could hit Moscow, they could take out residential areas. They just don't do it because we're not totalitarian monsters like they are. But I would think that it would be great if Ukraine started hitting the power grid in Moscow. and started taking down, you know, if if the Ukrainians have to freeze during winter, so should Muscovites.

So after this election, do you have any reports of anything changing? We only have thirty seconds left inside Russia. And I know they have ridiculous elections today, but afterwards, they might have a massive draft, and that's remarkably unpopular. Do you see anything changing there? There is zero chance that the Russian people are going to vote out Vladimir Putin in the elections that are coming up, despite and particularly now that Alex Zoveshkin has come.

I'm in favor of uh Vladimir Putin. He would know. No free elections in that country. I think they're gonna Putin is. Putin's going to win.

Putin must be a great campaigner. I'm going to go out there on a limb and say Putin's going to win the other one. Right. He must be a great campaigner. He's got like 80% of the vote.

So he must be great signs, much street signs, bumper stickers. He must be great at that. Yeah, but he's no Kim Jong-un. He gets 96% of the vote. Right.

That's true. And that's a goal for him. And Vladimir Putin's always known that. He's no Kim Kim Jong-un. Mark T said, thanks so much.

Take care. Bye. All right.

If you're interested in it, Brian's Talking About It. You're with Brian Kilmead. How is what you're doing helping people win?

So, great question. My theory is that. The anger and my beliefs are far closer to the majority position. Uh than the beliefs demonstrated by the National Democratic Party, which is how do you know that? But wait, what beliefs are you talking about?

Because I think that there are things that you and I agree on, and then I'm very sure there's many things that you and I do not agree on. But I am the base of the Democratic Party, and so for you to say that like most people agree with you, I just painting with a broad question. Yeah, well, I think you're painting with a broad show brush. Yeah, and by the way, that was the former spokesperson for Kamal Harris. Simone Sanders, and now she's on MS Dow, and she sees her party being hurt by this guy.

And that's where the aggression comes from. I'm surprised he just agreed to go on. But she goes on to say, she goes, I would tell my client, my candidate, to stay away from you. That you will hurt them. But guess what?

LCE just changed the subject and said, they don't want to talk about healthcare. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Hey, welcome back to the show. Center Shelley Moricapito from Washington, D.C.

She's on Center Appropriations, Commerce and Rules Committee, Chairman of the Center on Environmental and Public Works. And the center is kind enough to sit down with me on a book I have coming out next year about the games still count, because she was an athlete herself. And how appropriate, Senator, that you're working to fix college sports, right? Right. We've just we've reached a good agreement.

We got a good vote, seventy four twenty four.

So it's very it's on the track. I think we will pass it hopefully at the beginning of next week. Can you explain it to a non-senator like me and tell me I thought originally that it passed, and you said, well, almost. What did pass?

Well, it just passed. You know, we have all these hoops we have to go through in terms of motion to proceed and all that and cloture, da-da-da-da.

So we're on the track to do the final passage, the final vote, either probably Tuesday or Monday of next week.

So what this vote does is it, you know, the college sports is the wild, wild west. You mentioned I was a college athlete, my daughter played. I want to preserve women's and athletic Olympic sports, but I also want to see all this, you know, 25-year-olds playing, people, athletes getting taken advantage of by agents, and all these things that have developed over time because you can now pay your student athlete. And so this bill basically reigns in the portal. You know, you can't.

Transfer every year. You can transfer once, you get one free transfer, and you can transfer again, but you have to sit out a year. You also have five years for five years of eligibility. You can't get into college sports when you're 23 or 24. We've seen that recently at the LSU, where they wanted some semi-pros to come back and play in college.

That's unfair. We protect the number of slots that are at women and Olympic sports. We also. Prevent super leagues from starting, because you see that with the Big Ten, in particular the SEC. We rein in the agents, mirroring what the NFL does.

It's very encompassing, but it is protecting the student athlete. And what they get from playing, not just football, but the lower line sports or the non-revenue sports are just immeasurable in terms of leadership. Yeah. So, so a couple of things.

So, would there be somewhat of a salary cap? I know you're not going to go for the union, and I'm glad you're not, but you don't want to put the players in a union, they're students. But is there going to be a salary cap? Is there going to be a GPA that's got to be obtained? And are everyone's going to be a five-year athlete now?

Everybody? They can be. They can be. And so, no, there's no salary cap. There are some caps as to how much the schools can spend.

I think it's $22 million, and then there's another $23 million on top of that for retention of the athletes and those kinds of things.

So they should be able to do this for $45 million. It also will not preclude an athlete, let's say one of your super athletes that might get a contract from Nike or a private contract. They can still engage in that.

So there's no salary cap here, but there is some way to cap what the schools are going to spend on this.

So you'd keep preventing these underhand deals where you got the student athlete out in the back with the car dealer that's giving them money that really are one-offs and uncontrollable by coaches and parents and those kinds of things. But Center, what if I do own a dealership and I'm in Nebraska and I would like to sponsor the quarterback? Mm-hmm. Right. Right.

Can can he or can he sign with me? Yes. He can. But they have to report. You have to screen it.

Do you have to screen my company? Yeah, you'll have to get the deal looked at and show that it's in the student's best interest. But yes, you can still do that. There are some guardrails around it. Understood.

So there's other people that so just on this one nuanced issue that cropped up last time, it hasn't cropped up this time, about men playing in women's sports.

Some states have not ruled, like California allows it. New York allows it. West Virginia doesn't.

So is there anything in here that would say you have to be like the Olympics does? the the gender you're assigned to or a genetic test.

Well, in talking with Chairman Cruz and Maria Cantwell when they were negotiating this, what they basically said was leave it to the states. Whatever state the fear was that this would be a federal preemption of state law, meaning that if, say, West Virginia prevents guys from playing in girls' sports, that that would be preempted. That will stay. If West Virginia desires that, it stays.

Now, it's not going to change California's law. If they permit it, but it will not.

So that issue has been taken off the table. Understood.

So I was in, Senator, as you know, Drew Rosenhaus is an agent, and things have changed for him.

Now he can represent college athletes while they're in college and even high school athletes because you know they can get NIL deals now too.

So I asked him because he represented one of the players that wanted to go when he got cut from training camp with the Browns, wanted to go back to LSU. And LSU said okay, but the but the SEC said no. And the NCAA has almost been marginalized.

So having said that, I asked him about how he feels about college sports reform. Here's what he said. Would you like to see more rules and reform? No. As an NFL agent, I kind of like it the way it is.

You know, I'm an American. I believe in free enterprise. I like it wide open. I think players should be able to get their value. I like the system as it is.

I don't want any restraints or any more rules. We've got enough of those in the NFL and in college. This is pretty neat the way that it is, and I'd like to keep it this way. Your thoughts about his thoughts.

Well, I mean, I think if he's an agent, you know, the way it is, he even describes it as the Wild, Wild West, which means there's no. Limits on what he can, what his percentage of he can take from the student athlete. Of course, he wants him to get more money. We mirror the NFL and the agent, and the coaches ask for this so that the students aren't being taken advantage of. You can imagine a student who has no money.

Somebody comes in and says, I'll give you $100,000 to play. And the agent comes in, the agent who negotiates it says, Well, you're going to get $50,000.

Well, the student thinks that's great, but why should the agent get 50? I mean, the student's the one bearing the burden here.

So I think the people that want to have it remain the wild, wild west are probably the ones who are profiting off it the most. All right, so we have this big AI debate now. It suddenly cropped up. It's always been simmering, but now it's exploding. Here's Dr.

Jeffrey Hinton. They call him the godfather of AI. Cut two. It's something like a little Chernobyl, this hugging face accident, where a lot of AIs escaped the bans that were put on them. These were rogue agents.

And what's happening is the big companies are developing AI as fast as possible. They're in a race to develop the most intelligent AI. And we're developing a new kind of being. And when you develop a new kind of being, intelligence isn't the only thing you should think about. You should think about how this being is going to behave, whether it's going to, for example, protect human interests, whether it's going to like us.

And not nearly enough research is going into that.

Do you agree with him?

Well, I think that it's certainly moving so fast, the development of AI, that I think we should look at maybe putting some guardrails on here. But what's suspicious to me is the companies that are developing AI, they're coming to Congress and asking us to put guardrails on. Why don't they put guardrails on themselves right now? If we're in danger, Exactly. We're endangering the human race.

Why are you keep moving? I do think there's there could be a scenario, and it's been described to me by several of them that it's already happened, where the algorithms take over. And then, and obtain intelligence and start to make decisions where there's no human involved, and that's not what we want. But we are in a race here, we can't cut our innovation. And I think that is a real concern as well.

I'm not in the doomsayer group. I have to be convinced that that's really going to happen. And I think the reason that the executives are coming out is because they want handcuffs for everybody and they're willing to accept them. Because if they don't have them, if three of the companies say they're going to develop a conscience and rein it in, what happens to the one that doesn't? It's all about the money again.

So Bernie Sanders is sounding the alarm, cut for. All over this country, whether they people are conservatives, progressives, moderates, I say. Where the hell is the United States government? Where are our elected officials? We are worried.

What are you doing? And the answer, Jake, is nowhere, nowhere near enough. Anyone I'd say the president doesn't understand it. I would argue that the president understands it better than most. And he's been meeting with these executives pretty regularly.

And one of the executives he's very tight with still, and that's Elon Musk.

Well, I think too, you've got to look at what the innovations that are coming out of this: cures for cancer, personalized medicine, productivity. You know, everyday use, I mean, military's cybersecurity. I mean, these are valuable, extremely valuable assets that we want to take advantage of. And it's only, it was described to me yesterday as I was talking to somebody who knows we are at the least, we are at the lowest productive of AI. It's only going to get better, bigger, and more precise.

But, you know, you want it to always go for the sources of good. And you know what? Bernie Sanders rings the alarm on just about everything. And, you know, like Y2K, I'm sure he was flipped out on that. Oh, you want to hear Bernie Sanders?

I want to give you Bernie Sanders in 2020 on climate change. Cut six. The scientists are telling us. that if we don't act incredibly boldly, Within the next six, seven years, there will be irreparable damage done not just to Nevada, not just to Vermont or Massachusetts, but to the entire world. Joe said it right.

This is an existential threat. Of course, referring to Joe Biden. That was 2020.

So we got another two months to survive. If we do, then Bernie Sanders will be wrong. And Al Gore's been wrong for about five years. And AOC will be wrong in two years. I mean, I think, you know, the I think this in their cases, and certainly in Bernie Sanders' case, he's looking for a political advantage here.

And one way to get it is to scare people. And I don't this thing cropped up so quick with these executives coming out. I'm just a little bit suspicious of Why we've had AI for a while. I know it's moving fast. Let's get the force for good.

Let's put some guardrails or at least look at it. But I am not stopping innovation here. Senator, it looks like Senator Jim Justice might want to be Governor Justice again. What are you hearing?

Well, he made that statement at the West Virginia Business Summit, which was about two weeks ago on statewide radio, that he's interested in looking at it. Jim's a great senator. He was a great governor. He's very popular in West Virginia. I know he prefers to be home than up in Washington, D.C., so I wouldn't be surprised, but I don't have the inside scoop on that quite yet.

As you look at the Senate, how concerned are you about holding the Senate? What states worry you the most?

Well, I am concerned. I think we've got obviously Maine, Ohio, Alaska, Nebraska, Iowa. A lot of states in play, or at least within the margin area of margin, on polling, and the electorate is mad. I mean, I can see that. I'm running for reelection right now.

I can see that myself. And so that turns into an anti-incumbency argument. We do have some great pickup opportunities in New Hampshire and in Michigan.

So I'm very optimistic about that. Thankfully, the Democrats have decided that the socialist route is the way they want to go.

Well, let's start painting the picture of what that would look like for you: higher taxes, less influence in your own life, and you know. Rearranging the way we do business and employ people, all these things, free Medicare. You just couldn't go on and on as to the kinds of things that they would do if they got in charge.

So the counterargument is in our favor. Yeah, it's not Senator Joe Manchin's Democratic Party, clearly. That was the former West Virginia senator, who's a great guy. As you know. Senator Shelley Moore Capitol, thanks so much.

All right.

Thank you, Brian. You got it. How about you said you got it?

Meanwhile, Senator Mansion also said Susan Collins should win in Maine. Back in a moment. Keeping you informed, engaged, and always a step ahead. It's the Brian Kill Me Show. Breaking news, unique opinions.

Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. I used to work campaigns at Sod and I have to tell you, if I was a strategist or a consultant or the political director on one of these campaigns, I I would absolutely be telling my people to disavow you because Depending on where we are, I really would because we want to win. We want to win. And so, like, if you're not going to help people win, that's the disagreement we have. It's a significant thing.

I've elected people though, and you've never elected anybody. I know, you're right. You're absolutely right. But here's the thing: I'm not expecting these people to hug and kiss me or even defend me vociferously. I'm expecting them to tackle the form.

There are plenty of people. in the broad coalition that we have designed, the anti-Trump coalition, that will go, oh my God, finally someone is addressing the fact that they are holding a Twitch streamer, a rabble rouser, to a higher standard than the President of the United States of America. I don't know what you're talking about. The President is held to a standard every single day. Are you kidding me?

95% of the press is against him. 95. May maybe okay, maybe 92. On a daily basis, just listen to the QA that he gets in the White House, read the New York Times, read the Washington Post, watch CNN pick up USA Today.

So, what do you mean to hold accountable? What does that mean? That's just another one of the ridiculous arguments from Hassan Piker, who got a hard time on MS Now, mainly because he's hurting candidates.

Now, Abdul El-Sayed has not disavowed him, but he's trying to minimize the role he plays.

So, every time someone brings him up and says, the guy that was campaigning with you to beat. To beat Haley Stevens in the primary, now suddenly you're not acknowledging.

So he keeps getting the question, and listen to how he handles it. Such an insult. Cut 17. We need to shift more to the middle to pick as during this general election even you know disavowing Hassan Pike or shifting to the middle teacher. You know Manu, like this this conversation is so far removed.

from what people are talking about every day in Michigan. People sit at their kitchen table so that they can get away from them.

So, okay, he doesn't answer the question. And one of the main reasons why this question is relevant. It's not so much like Kavanaugh there saying in high school you drank too much and this woman who you don't remember claiming you did horrible things to her and you you rented a bus and went to a Boston Red Sock game and now you're fifty years old and that was twenty this is like three two months ago. With a guy that is radical, hates this country, loves Hamas, disavows Israel, says an apartheid state that commits genocide. The most thing possible, Harboul says k loves burning the flag.

So, instead of just saying, listen, I don't know what I was thinking hanging out with them, I'd have a problem with that explanation, but less of a problem with that's not what people are talking about. And here's why: there are problems going to crop up next year that we can't even foresee. There's going to be foreign policy challenges that are going to crop up that we don't even know and can't even foretell. And that's when you say the person I elect has got to have a certain character and fundamental beliefs. Because when these things pop up, I got to know predictably where they would stand because they're going to be representing my state one of 100 votes.

So he's asked again, cut 13. Cut eighteen. People care about care about what uh That that Pesson Piker was campaigning? They really don't care about that.

Well, they've been asked about that. They really don't. Like, I've I've been all over Michigan. You know, nobody asked me that question. Y'all like to ask me.

You people like to care, but you know, I'm in DC today and I understand that that's exciting conversation in DC, but I would encourage you to come to places like Michigan and have conversations with people. I promise you, they don't think that a streamer in California is raising the price of their gas or their groceries. You know that came up behind the scenes. They said it didn't And when I mean behind the scenes, I mean yesterday. Abdul El-Syed went to Washington, just like Graham Plattner went to Washington, and he won people over.

They couldn't believe how smart he was, down to earth he was. Then we know that Graham Plattner dropped off soon after. You know, behind closed doors, they're going to say, you know, these extremist views are a little bit out of control. I got a big tent, but I can't fit you in if you're going to keep him with you.

Now, they said Hassan Piker never came up. There is no way he didn't come up. You listen to the Brian Killme show.

So glad you're here. Go to BrianKilme.com. Pre-order my book, Uniting the States, now. 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. This is Brian Kill Me Joe coming your way. It's a busy week already, Thursday, and I knew it was going to be busy after Labor Day, but pretty intense.

Some things surprised me. The data center thing was surprising me in August, and now here we are in September. AI kind of caught me by surprise. I'm going to talk about the latest in Ukraine by going to the war zone itself. Daniel Bilak will be with us from Ukraine, and Blasey Mitzel will be with us, VP for policy at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America.

And we'll find out what is going on with this big debate now with Mac Lemore and Robert Kraft and everybody, everything that's going on here, as well as. We got some high ranking officials that are going to be coming to the United Nations, including this guy named Benjamin Netanyahu. Is he going to be arrested? We'll discuss that. Got to urge you to go to the YouTube channel.

We put great stuff on there, youtube.com slash at the Brian Killmeat Show.

So let's get to the big three. Number three. You watch what's going to happen to Iran. It's going to be a really good conclusion. And it's going to happen.

I say it's going to be a little bit after the election, but maybe not. Maybe it's before the election. Maybe U.S. not talking to Iran, but we are talking to everybody else in the region. Could we bring all this conflict to a head soon?

I hope. Number two. It's clear that Abdul has wind in his sails right now. I think now it's just a question of how strong that wind is. Here's a man who talks every day about the high costs that American families are facing.

He's a great candidate. He's going to win, and we are all united. Was Elizabeth Warren on Helium at that moment? What's going on? That's Gary Peters, Elizabeth Warren, and Gillibrand impressed with Abdul El-Assid.

Midterm polls are in and GOP not happy. Dems can't be content. El Sa-Sayed is going to D.C.

now to bring his Muslim swagger to the Capitol. He seems to have made a good impression. Number one. How much time do lawmakers actually have to get ahead of this before this is a big problem? Do very little.

And what's so little? A few weeks? A month? Maybe a year, but not much more than a year. Jeffrey Hinton, the godfather of AI, all debate heats up as usual.

We're all divided on party lines. We look at the fears and the politics behind it all, and there's a lot.

So we have people like that that are experts, Jeffrey Hinton, look out, this thing could be dangerous. And then we had politicians who say, look out, this could be my issue, issue to run on, like Bernie Sanders, as usual, trumpeting the fear, big time, cut four. All over this country, whether they people are conservatives, progressives, moderates, I say. Where the hell is the United States government? Where are our elected officials?

We are worried. What are you doing? And the answer, Jake, is nowhere, nowhere near enough. Right. Bernie Sanders knows, because he's such a great scientist, right?

Here he is criticizing the President. Why? It's been five minutes. Why not criticize the President? It is really embarrassing how little the President of the United States understands about the danger.

uh of this technology. Aw. And you know Maybe Democrats are speaking about it now.

Well, it's better late than ever. I would tell you, I've been speaking about it. For a very long time.

Well, by the way, the president thoroughly understands it. Elon Musk was by his side probably for six, seven months, at which time he was talking about AI on a regular basis. He wanted to do two things. He wasn't going to hamstring cryptocurrency. He said in the beginning he didn't understand it, said, I don't get it.

By 2020, he got it. By 2024, he was running with it. And now they're looking to get the Clarity Act to get some barriers there.

Now, hopefully, he'll get that done, although it looks like a long shot now.

So the other one. He also said, I want to AI, I want to unleash AI. I want to make sure we win AI. He understood the reasons for it. But he did have an executive order after the release of Mythos, which is a model that really scared a lot of people because of the advanced nature of it.

And that was in the spring. And he had an EO ready to go that would subject AI to some guardrails and a little bit of oversight. And the Treasury Secretary and the Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, was for this. David Sachs was against it. Ultimately, that won the day.

So the American people, where are we at? Fox News polls, sixty three percent of Americans say AI could destroy humanity in one day. And nearly half one day and nearly half of Americans favor pausing development for more of more advanced models. roughly forty eight percent, thirty one percent who favor continued development.

So people are a little concerned about it. They're not running it. But for me, I'm not fearing change. I'm pretty amazed if this is the first time I can remember twenty somethings are the ones who are booing change. When those are the ones who usually say, hey, give me your phone.

You guys don't know how to work it. You know, we're always handing this off. How do you work this? How do you do that? How do you download this?

But when it comes to AI, you got the 20-something said, no, count me out. Not all of them. But a lot of them But I go back to what Mark Cuban said. And when people ask me for advice about what to do with my career at the twenties, say do everything I can to learn about AI and then offer your services to a company and say, how can that company get better? You may have ideas because you can see what AI can do.

Joe Lonsdale. Talenteer co-founder. Managing Director of eight VC and one of the PayPal guys. Is all over this. He's all over the pushback.

Now, there are Republicans pushing back. One is Josh Hawley, and he is concerned about how fast AI is going. And Lonsdale was ready for that. Cut eight. Josh has been attacking tech for a long time.

He thinks it's his ticket to be popular on the right. Listen, listen, well this this is this is and but we should hold big tech accountable, but we should do it in a way that's American based on how the American founders wanted things. Woodrow Wilson, when he created this massive regulatory state, he was recreating the star chamber that we fought against in England. If you go back in our civilization, we don't need star chambers. We don't need cronies.

We don't need these regulators harassing people. Yeah, and that's how he feels. And he also says this: there should be regulation, but let these guys regulate themselves. Because They're the ones who know best.

Now Can you possibly set up a A I would say some type of bureau. With AI representatives from there.

So you get the guy from. You know, you get Claude and you get ChatGPT and you get Grok and you form a panel. That's able to look at these models, including the younger ones coming up and saying, okay, let's make sure this doesn't get out of control. And we know the technology you're working on, and this is where the danger could be. Can we do something like that?

And with the government, of course, reporting to the government on a regular basis. But we can't pretend as if there's anybody in the government because there isn't. Senator Warner says he is, but I'm sure he's not. Anymore. Maybe he was a tech guy before he got in.

Roe Connor represents tech people. I don't know that he is. But I always like a military general in armed services because they've seen it from a different angle. They've seen it a lot of times they go to West Point or Annapolis and they get it. The same thing I would love to see that David Sachs is doing, volunteering on the board to be a czar when it comes to Cryptocurrency and when it comes to AI.

So I thought Joe Lonsell says, Look, watch it why don't I try this? Cut ten. There's an important point here because there's big tech and there's little tech. When you're trying to start companies, I'm involved in hundreds of new companies we're building. The big tech tries to smash us.

Big tech tries to catch our government to smash the new innovators because there's always new innovators. America wins because of new innovations. What you have to do is you have to stop the big guys from smashing the little guys by keeping things free, but then hold them accountable. The right way, not the way that lets them capture it. And what Mark Zuckerberg said two days ago, Joe Lonsdale said too, says, you know, they can get sued.

So, if they do something irresponsibly, Meta could get sued, and they're getting sued now. They're in court every day, settling out of court after they go to court. They're not winning.

So they know they're liable should they do something catastrophic, cut nine. What you need is you need liability. These companies should be held extremely liable for any damage they do. It's going to be a two trillion dollar IPO. They should lose all of that if they cause hundreds of billions of dollars of damage because they'll be liable for the damage.

We should pass laws. We should do our gosh darn job passing laws, making sure it's even more clear what they're liable for, making it easier for them to be liable. We shouldn't be putting regulators in that are just going to get captured and just going to be unaccountable. That's not how America works. The right should be against regulation, but for liability to hold companies accountable.

And the first time I realize how overmatched Oversight is from the government perspective is when you study the Bernie Madoff story. I'm not Mr. Finance. But you see how they just made a mockery of the oversight, how he kept all his illegal activity, his Ponte schemes, going on a different floor and had a whole facade going on a separate floor. And a lot of them would get in awe of who they're talking to, the CEO, multi-billionaire, is going to show me around to show me what they're doing and open up their books to me.

I can't believe what an honor it is. I'm making $110,000 to do that. My suits don't fit. I'm wearing the same one three days in a row. It's an unbalanced match.

So am I going to have a government going to visit? Mark Zuckerberg to try to unwind some of the models before they destroy man. It's not going to happen. But you know what would love to have it happen? China.

It's going to be interesting because the President of the United States says next week, when he has the President of China in. Might have the tech executive meet with him. I would love to hear what they have to say. Of course, you're not going to give up. You know, give up the farm and tell them how to operate things, but they could talk about what the capabilities are and kind of read where they stand.

Don't trust a thing. And by the way, you can't verify, so you can't trust, obviously. And he can't verify just be in the nature of this product. All right, we come back. We get the latest on Ukraine.

Daniel Bielak joined us. Politics, current events, and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say. Stay with Brian Kilmead. The fastest three hours in radio.

You're with Brian Killmee. The one that's the toughest is uh Russia. Ukraine, they hate each other. The two leaders hate each other so much, and it's a, you know, hatred is. Very interesting.

Warren's very interesting, but It's too bad and that's what's driving actually that's the war that's driving up the diesel prices. But it's all going to end very soon. That's what the President believes. He believes that they know that we have an election coming up. And we know there's an election coming up.

The handcuffs are off afterwards, and if there is a flip of the House or Senate, the President knows he's got to act in the interim period. And also, maybe they totally changed their approach after the election. I'm not sure about that. Because I'm not sure who's actually in charge of that country. But then we have Vladimir Putin who's got his own ridiculous election, and a lot of people are pointing to that because then he'll come out after the election and say, I need another draft, and that could be the tipping point.

Who knows? Daniel Bilak joins us. Daniel joins us from Ukraine, where he's playing a vital role, a member of the Territorial Defense Forces of that country, former Chief Investment Advisor to the Prime Minister. Daniel, how would you characterize this war right now? Hi, Brian.

Thanks for having me on. It's You know, we're basically under a massive terrorist attack by the Russians. They're losing on the battlefield. We're killing or taking out forty thousand of their troops per month. which they can't replace.

And so Putin's basically gone to war with the Ukrainian civilian population. Um you know, they're bombing us night and day. They're taking out they're targeting warehouses filled with food, pharmaceutical products, consumer products. even toys. Uh they're they're targeting uh gas stations.

They're shooting at trains now, passenger trains. They're basically going on safari with the Ukrainian population. It's quite dire. And we're we're really worried about the winter because they're gonna he's now going not just after energy infrastructure, he's going after water supplies. And so You know, we're hitting them back by taking out probably already 40% of their.

petroleum export capabilities. But um it's uh you know, we're we're holding our own. Um we're really Really hoping this sanctions bill that was passed yesterday in Congress, and I think it's awaiting the signature of the President, we really hope that this will really squeeze the Russians because They can't fight without China, they can't fight without Iran, and they can't fight without North Korea. And the United States. Can actually make a huge difference in ending this war.

In fact, it's all in the President's hands, really. Isn't India also buying energy? Isn't Turkey too? Isn't Brazil? Sure, sure.

And you know, all every country that is buying Russian, illegal Russian petroleum products. should be subject to the secondary sanctions. They're quite draconian from my understanding under the sanctions bill. It's a question whether the President wants to implement them or not. I want you to hear what Mark Thiessen just told us he thinks you guys should be doing.

Ukraine could be doing to Russia what exactly what Russia is doing. They could hit civilian neighborhoods. They could hit Moscow. They could take out residential areas. They just don't do it because we're not totalitarian monsters like they are.

But I would think that it would be great if Ukraine started hitting the power grid in Moscow and started taking down. If the Ukrainians have to freeze during winter, so should Muscovites. How do you feel about that? 100%. I subscribe to every single word.

You know, we aren't terrorists. But much of that, first of all, much of the critical infrastructure that Mark was talking about is used for military purposes. The entire Russian population basically is behind Putin. This isn't just a frolic of Putin's own. And again, I come back to we can fight this, but this isn't just our fight, Brian.

You and I have talked about this before. You know, we are the Eastern shield of Western democracy right now. This is all of our fight, and including the United States. I mean, the United States has vital security interests in Europe. And we can see that what's happening in Iran, what's happening in Ukraine, it's all linked.

It's what I call the cranks, you know, the China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. These are the four horsemen of the apocalypse. And they are all united in wanting to bring down the United States. And you look at what they're doing inside the United States, let alone to where the United States has interests in the Gulf and other places. You know, the I just was reading that the the Department of Justice and the FBI unveiled a global assassination network operating in the United States.

It was basically funded and supported by Russian intelligence. You know, they're going the you've got cyber attacks. in the United States. And it's only a matter of time before they start going after your electricity grids, your airport security, your transportation networks. Which is what they're doing in Europe already.

You know, they want the United States destroyed. And American people, I think, understand that we are a crucial ally. Ukraine is a crucial ally of the United States. We're with you in Afghanistan. We've been supporting shoulder to shoulder with American troops and other places around the world.

We're helping with train American troops in drone warfare and asymmetrical warfare. This is all a new way of fighting, as you know. And we are a crucial ally, both militarily, but as well as diplomatically. We're a democracy, maybe a flawed democracy. I'm sure yours isn't perfect either.

But democracies need to stick together right now because we're under attack. By really evil forces.

So, Daniel could not fight this war without China. I agree with every word you said. You have a true global perspective while in the middle of a war. It's amazing. But do you think something's going to happen in Miami?

They're talking about Zelensky and Putin in Miami. Do you think that'll happen? Brian, I just don't know. I have not seen I think there's a lot of performative diplomacy going on by the Russians. You know, Putin thinks he's winning.

He thinks he can bomb us into the before we have to do it. Yeah, I think he does. I think he does. I think that he thinks he has the upper hand because we don't yet have the answer to the jet-powered chickheads and his ballistic missiles. We will have them, and hopefully in the next month or two.

But if we don't have we can't we don't we don't have enough Patriot missiles. We're not the United States has cut its aid to Ukraine by 99%. We're buying everything we get from the US with our European allies. But even still, the US is expending a huge amount of missiles on Iran. And so we have to develop alternatives.

Thanks so much, Daniel Bilak. Stay safe. You guys are fighting gallantly. The best army in Europe, right there in Ukraine, doing amazing things. When we come back, we talk about the challenges over in Israel.

Don't move. The talk show that's getting you talking. With Brian Kilmead. We're talking about the outlet that the kingdom relied on after the Strait of Hormuz was impaired. And without that outlet, without the East-West pipeline conveying those barrels to Yanbu on the Red Sea coast, there's no way to get down through Babel-Mandeb, as Trey was talking about, or for that matter, around the Horn going through the Suez Canal.

So the challenge is really a quite big one, but there is still cargo moving through the Strait of Hormuz, just not all that there once was. Right. And you know, it was over a hundred tankers a day. And now we're at 30, which is considerably less, but it shows you they're not shutting it down, but we're not letting anything out. That's Kevin Book.

Clearview energy partners. But it's an overstating to say we're in control of this trade, I believe. Let's bring in Blaise Mistau. Blaise Mistau is an extremely important person to talk to right now. He's the VP for policy at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America.

First off, Blaise, how do you feel about where things are at right now? It seems like the Houthis are complicating things up big time while trying to say we are not an enemy of America. Yeah, it's good to be with you, and I think that's exactly right. Look, we knew that when President Trump shifted to this economic pressure campaign on Iran, trying to strangle their exports through his blockade, trying to put sanctions on them to strangle their ability to get oil or other goods out by other means to earn revenue in any other way, we knew that Iran wasn't going to take that lying down. And I think we're seeing that response now.

And I think it's important to note that it's actually not just the Houthis. We have seen the Houthis advance in Yemen. We have seen them be able to now control the Babel Mandeb, that critical waterway that goes out of the Red Sea. But it's also other Iranian proxies that are standing up, including the Iraqi militias who are the ones that have fired on that east-west pipeline that we just heard about and have shut that down. And so we're seeing Iran shift from direct Iranian attacks.

Now activating its proxies, trying to show we may be down, but we're not out. We still have our terror network. We still have ways to hurt you. And they've taken what was a battle for the Strait of Hormuz and they shifted that center of gravity to say, well, now we have two critical choke points that we can try to restrict, both in the Strait of Hormuz and in the Red Sea.

So this is definitely them looking for a way to break out from the U.S. stranglehold on their economy. And I think what we're looking at is really two economic games of chicken happening on critical waterways. Who can inflict the most economic pain on whom? Who's going to make the other side back down and flinch first?

So Iran is trying to use land passages and having almost no success, according to the Wall Street Journal. Hundreds of trucks are stuck at the Pakistan border, Turkmenistan border, the Turkey border, Afghanistan.

So that's not working.

So the blockade is working. Yeah, dozens of shits have been turned back, and there's no doubt about it. It's still dangerous, but we're making the moves. It's costing us money to do it.

Now I understand too, the so called Shia Coordination Framework in Iraq is now combining to try to disarm the militias, the Iranian militias in Iraq. Interesting. Also, the fact that the Houthis are trying to keep us at bay. Why are they even interested in that when there was clearly we're an enemy and they're an enemy of Israel? They're trying to say Israel can pass through and you can pass through.

I looked at that as a tactic that should be ignored. Do you? Yeah, that's absolutely right. The issue is not American ships. The issue is not Israeli ships passing through the Red Sea.

It's Saudi ships carrying Saudi oil. And that's precisely who the Houthis say are going to target. And so if they're targeting the most valuable cargo going through that waterway, it doesn't matter who else they can say will pass. They are targeting what causes the most pain. And so what I say to that is let's test that proposition.

If they say they're not going to fire on U.S. ships, let's reflag tankers. Let's put American flags on those tankers and try to get the oil out on American ships. And see, are they going to fire then? Are they going to try to mess around with the United States?

Are they going to mess around with Israel? Because they've seen what we can do. We pounded them for 53 days two years ago. Israel went in last year and took out layers of their top leadership with the intelligence and precision strike that only Israel can do. And they know that, and they fear that, and we should be exploiting that to try to get oil out any way we can.

So having said that, the way to really amp this up would be get the IDF back involved. Their intelligence is without peer. They understand what's going on there. And we can start taking out more layers of the Iranian leadership. What would it take for you to support something like that, or do you are you there now?

Yeah, I think that the only way we're going to get. Through this is with a resumption of military activity against Iran. As I said, the blockade, the sanctions, they're great. They're inflicting pain on the regime, but they are going to take time to work, and Iran is going to try to escalate against us to break through those like they're doing right now. And so we have to be able to do two things simultaneously.

Or even three. We have to keep the pressure on economically. We need the blockade, we need the sanctions, but we need to buy them time to work. And to do that, we need to take away Iran's ability to escalate. We need to take away their ability to hurt.

Oil production and oil shipping throughout the Middle East, and we have to keep an eye on their nuclear program. And that means going back in and striking when we have to. And I think the United States can do that. Israel can do that just as well. And we know that Iran, it's doing a lot around the region.

It's hitting tankers, it's hitting Jordan, it's hitting Saudi. But it's not hitting Israel. Why? Because it fears Israel. How do we get Iran to back off?

We unleash what they fear most. We unleash the Israelis and show them that we're taking the gloves off and we're going to keep the pressure on and we're going to keep going at them until they relent, or better yet, until this regime collapses. Plays, Michelle, is our guest. Blaze. Uh do you believe The story the Wall Street Journal had.

That President Presky and was all excited about the MOU. Wanted he knew it was the best deal of a lifetime, I think it was a terrible deal for America. But oil was dropping. They were able to get some sanctions relief temporarily. And all of a sudden the IRGC started to opening up on some ships, some tankers.

He called up Fahidi, who's in charge of the RIGC, and said, What are you doing? And he said, It's not me. I did not give the order.

So they have this play by play of events.

Now I know about the good cop, bad cop, and I agree with you. They they one likes to seem rational and then the other one acts irrational, but yet they're on the same team. Do you believe that? Do you believe this story, being that we did kill the Ayatollah and all around them and wipe out a couple of layers of leadership? Um with the Israelis.

Look, I believe that two things can be true at the same time. I think it is entirely true that there is a coordination and command problem inside the Iranian regime. No one fully knows who is in charge. No one fully knows who has what authorities. And because everything is now wide open, you have all this jockeying for power.

Within the system, you have all these people who have been let back in, who had been fired from their positions previously, or had been ousted, or had been sidelined, who have political axes to grind, and they're all competing with one another and pursuing their own agendas and have their knives out for each other.

So there's this huge turmoil within the regime that is leading to, I think, bad decision making. And maybe that is what happened in this one case of firing on these tankers. That being said, I believe that the narrative that is being sold around that, which is that you have this moderate, reasonable diplomatic element that's fighting the hardliners. Is the same narrative that is being sold to the American people ever since the JCPOA ten years ago? And that part I do not believe at all.

Now, I hear you. And I guess we'll see where that goes. What effect is all this having on the elections in Israel that you know of? Yeah. For Israel that's still reeling from the October 7th attacks, that still feels that it's under threat.

Mm-hmm. by the Iranian regime, by its terror proxies. Security is one of the fundamental issues that everyone is voting on and everyone agrees on. that Israel will not be safe as long as this regime is in power. And I think that you're going to see whoever wins in Israel, whatever the next government looks like, continued major political and public support for taking the fight to Iran until the threat is gone.

Do you think Netanyahu the word is Netanyahu not favored to win again? Look, Netanyahu has been Israel's longest-serving prime minister. Even when he's counted out, he comes back in. Like we saw five years ago, where Israel went through four rounds of elections, couldn't pick a prime minister, elected a different government briefly. That collapsed, and Bibi came back in.

He's a political survivor, and I think counting him out is always dangerous. He's, I think, going to find a way to try to stay in power and win the election. There's a huge weapons hall that Donald Trump signed off on to go send to Israel. Do you think Congress passes it? Look, I certainly hope that it proceeds with congressional approval.

However, the way that these weapon sales work is that there is a notification to Congress as a courtesy, and the administration is able to proceed by itself unless Congress acts proactively to block the sale. That has never happened. It's a high bar, and I don't see that happening now. I think most members of Congress and most American people understand that Israel is a country that's been under attack for three years and is a country that has stood by and fought side by side with the United States against a common adversary like no other country has done since World War II. And to provide it with the weapons to do so, and not just the weapons to defend itself, but American weapons that are made in American factories by American workers and provide American jobs, that's a win-win for both the United States.

Yeah. No kidding. I just don't know what's gotten into Democrats these days. I know Congressman Meeks came out and said no. I don't know what they're talking about.

Blaise Mishtel, thanks so much. Appreciate it. Vice President for the Policy over at Jinza. When we come back, we'll be able to have final thoughts on all this and more. You'll listen to the Brian Kilmeat Show.

It's Brian Kilmade He's so busy. He'll make your head spin. It's Brian Killmade. Sponsored by Previgen. Previgen made for your brain.

Don't give power to the people who cause the problems that we're fixing. Give us another chance or give us another couple of years to continue to work on the amazing things that we've been doing for the past two years.

So that is Vance speaking out a lot lately, and he's going into Ohio where I know Vivek is trailing by about one or two points and Senator John Houston trailing by a couple of points to Sherard Brown. And Ohio has been pretty solid red. I mean, for the longest time it was if you win Ohio, if you win Florida, Republicans win. If you lose both, Democrats win. If Republicans lose both, Democrats win.

And now it's pretty much assumed every year that goes by Trump never lost Ohio. And Florida Trump never lost Florida, clearly. And I remember thinking to myself watching in 2016 when Florida went to Trump, and I go, at the very least, He's not embarrassing himself. And the first time I realized this guy can actually win, even though I thought he would, but he could actually win when the numbers came in. 'Cause Hillary Clinton's camp was so confident was when when Florida went to his column.

But Now they got to go back to places like Texas. They got to go back to places like Ohio. They got to go back to not Florida. I think that's pretty much in hand, but certainly Georgia, which was leaning red over the last cycle, despite the 2020 election results that caused so much consternation. But it just had the wrong candidates.

I like Herschel Walker, but he had no experience in huge family issues. I always thought if you get the right candidate in there, Doug Collins would have been perfect, but the president didn't annoy him. Yeah, and he didn't get it. He went a different direction. But if you had the right candidate, you would not have had.

The two Democratic centers.

So that's going to be a problem. It looks like North Carolina is going to flip. It looks like Michigan has a great plans wait a great chance of flipping to the Republican. It should. It'll be scary if it doesn't.

And New Hampshire and Maine. Maine should hold. I solely believe Collins is within two. That's all she needs. Maine should hold.

And I really think that John Sununu looks extremely confident and good and strong over Pappas. And right now, the Cook Report has it a flat-footed tie. It is legitimately from lean left to a toss-up. And you watch when Sununu gets out there, especially if Chris Kinnow helped out his brother and his name is so strong in New Hampshire got totally dissed by the Democratic Party. They were forever, so in my lifetime, maybe forever, the first primary and the second contest after the Iowa caucuses.

It was the Democrats that said, no, you're too white. Really? Okay. Now they're going to be third or fourth. That's got to take off the people of New Hampshire and maybe count for a couple of points.

But that was what J.D. Vance was saying. And he also was saying, you know, weighing in on everything from what's happening with AI to what's happening with Iran. He lets be clear to everybody else when it comes to Iran that he was not on board for that. The president yesterday was saying, put me on the ballot.

Some people think it's not going to work for him to put on the ballot. The guy that you got to see a lot from is you got to see a lot from Sununu. I would like to see more from Collins. Just campaigning for themselves. Even if they come out against the president, Canadian deal, whatever.

I wish they could have landed the plane there. Here's Mike Rogers yesterday because El Saeed was getting a lot of publicity. If I'm Rogers, I'm out every day. Cut twenty. He doesn't want you to know who he is.

He just said in a clip that all the corporate PACs are buying off politicians. He this guy went to Washington, D.C. today. slinked in the back. Luckily, we got some footage of him sneaking in the back to go meet with Chuck Schumer, who he said was a terrible guy and he was going to work against, and asked for ten million dollars in corporate PAC money.

Now that is a good con man. He cannot look you in the eye and give you a straight answer. This guy is nothing but trouble. And that you know why it's so significant that he said that? I mean, number one, Schumer did everything he could to make sure El Said didn't win, just like they wanted to make sure Graham Plattner didn't win.

So Plattner won, got left in disgrace, and now El Saeed wins. He wanted Haley Stevens, so we'll see what happens now. And then he comes, okay, that's fine with me, big tent. We just got to make sure he wins. But the other thing he's running on is get corporate interests, corporate money out of the elections.

All right.

And you also want to Say a Medicare for all. It was just pointed out to me By seniors who get Medicare, it's $300 a month. And you need a supplement because they don't carry it, it doesn't cover anything.

So you mean Medicare Plus or Plan B, whatever it is. And you have a lot of doctors that want to take it.

So you're going to get corporate interest out. You're taking corporate money. Oh, you're going to do Medicare for all. Hakeem Jeffries won't even put that up for a vote. He doesn't want it.

So he would be presumably the speaker that you said would get the endorsement, you know, your endorsement, you'll be on this other side.

So he doesn't want it.

So you're never going to get it.

So both your issues don't really exist.

So, you want to run the economy? I'd love to know something positive you're going to be doing for the economy, except for. You said be fearful that I'm going to tax billionaires more. Top 10% are paying 70% of all the taxes. I'm pretty sure that's not the problem.

I don't know. You tell me.

So the polls don't look good for Republicans right now, but I do think in the next 40, in the 40 days, a lot can change. There's no doubt about it. Overall, 63% of America say AI is a major issue. 34% of America, by far, the number one issue is the economy and inflation.

So that's not good for the party in power. It would be different, I am sure, if there was an Iran war, and foreign policy is not a big. uh a big uh concern unless there's a terror attack like nine eleven. uh something that's overwhelmingly a world war So, I don't think the president's going to get any credit for Venezuela. I don't think he's going to get credit for almost flipping Cube.

I don't think he's going to get credit for taking maybe six left-wing governments, dictatorships, and helping them go to the right and become allies, last one of which was Colombia, which is pretty impressive.
