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, can you believe it's Sunday already? Welcome to One Nation. I'm Brian Kilmead. Thanks so much for watching. On tonight's show, you're gonna love it.
Esteemed poster Mark Penn works for Democrats and Republicans. He cut his teeth and made his name with the Clintons. Yasmin Mohammed's gonna be here. She was forced to marry into Al-Qaeda. Thankfully, she got out.
She's here to tell the story and warn America. And Trace Gallagher, fantastic book, but also is going to bring us inside the madness, which is happening on the West Coast. They might be losing Paramount. They are losing American Idol. What is going on in California?
But first, the fastest, most impactful monologue in America. We begin. with the tension points. You've been hearing about escalation friction with China for years now.
So when China comes to town this week, the stakes could not even be higher. Our objectives could not be any clearer. Stop China from meddling and single-handedly sustaining two wars with our adversaries, like helping Russia keep pressure on Ukraine. Without China's support, Russia could not continue to fight. They would have to stop tomorrow.
And, as the Wall Street Journal reported, stop them from providing satellite information to Iran to bomb our bases and kill our people, and possibly helping them rearm. Although President Trump doesn't seem too worried about that. We recently reported that Chinese entities may have provided Iranians with satellite imagery of the air bases in the US. They basically do what we do. I would say this.
I think he's behaved. reasonably well and we behave reasonably well. You know when they say that China spies on us, I say, you're right, and we spy on them too. You know, we spy on them too. Yeah, but we should not allow them to provide satellite imagery to our bases.
This mini summit will require some finesse with these two. And they know each other. They do have leverage. For example, China has hacked their way inside our power grid, our water and transportation networks. There is a belief with the flip of the switch they could cause a massive crisis in our country.
When it comes to economic measures, there's pressure to cut a massive comprehensive trade deal, or at least lay the groundwork for a deal completing before the end of the Trump term. And you can see that's been speculated and analyzed. China could buy our farm goods. That's what we want. We want them to buy our planes and stop flooding the world with subsidized steel, EVs, batteries, and solar panels.
Is that possible once and for all? And can they stop stealing our IP? And Trump's tariffs might be the leverage that we need to get them to pay attention, to get them to play ball. The deficit is going down because of the tariffs. And so people who were naysayers about the tariffs said that we'd have low growth and high inflation.
Instead, we have low inflation and high growth, great job creation. And on the artificial intelligence front, which everyone's been talking about this week and we were ahead of the curve last week, despite the warnings from countless tech leaders, it's crucial that America stays ahead in the race. And we are ahead in the race. Where China leads is price and access. They do it for less money and they charge less to the consumer.
Essentially, as AI systems go, they seem to be advancing faster than humans, and we know that. It's more important than ever who has the control. We have to win the war on AI with China. That that's a fact. Any given proposal.
Has to be something that China is willing to accept. Otherwise, we're just handicapping ourselves. And we'll just find a that then China will will essentially win and and it won't really matter what we do. We are helping to ensure that America stays ahead of China, but how you keep being ahead is you make sure that you don't roll the dice on public safety, which is why you need to get some kind of policy regime in place here. That's Jack Clark, and I want him to voice over my life story at some point.
So what does China want from us? Access to our high end chips? Absolutely. A decrease in tariffs? They're open.
More access to our markets and, of course, a hands off policy when it comes to Taiwan. Not going to happen. And the newest one, a plea to stop deploying weapons in space. We're doing that right now. And I'm sorry, China, it's too late.
This meeting is perhaps the last chance, the last chance for both leaders to make it clear they don't want this relationship to go over the cliff. This is a superpower summit that matters. And break the tenuous trade truce would be the hope ahead of the November 10th deadline when all the tariffs on both sides go up.
So how both sides come to the table and when they come to the table, who does have the leverage? Like in any good matchup, you have to take a look at the weaknesses. While China can still produce more ships, batteries, drones, and solar panels than anyone and still run a giant trade surplus, it cannot get its own people to spend money. Their housing sector is a disaster. Entire cities are sitting empty.
And the country cannot give its graduates the jobs they're promised. Unemployment is near 20% among the youth. Their aging population is not being replaced thanks to their one child. Policy. They got no kids.
And the nation's debt is 300% of GDP.
Now, for us, persistent but manageable inflation, debt that surpassed $40 trillion for the first time, political division, we all know that, and an ongoing battle in Iran in the Middle East.
So that is the tale of the tape. Those are the stakes.
So what can we really expect? Let's ask two experts. Steve Boscher, Population Research Institute president, who's written nearly a dozen books on this, as well as Miles Yu, director of the China Center at the Hudson Institute. Welcome to both of you guys. Steve, I'll start with you.
What do you expect to achieve, the best scenario for us at this summit?
Well, first of all, let me say, Brian, that was a brilliant introduction, and I think you covered all the major points. I think we'll see a lot of pomp and ceremony as Trump flatters Xi's ego by treating him as the most Important visiting dignitary in the world. This will be effective because last week Xi was basically sidelined at the BRICS Summit in India. He skipped the banquet, went home a day early. He was said to be tired.
I think he was tired of being ignored.
So giving him this kind of face, I think, counts a lot for him and it counts a lot for his captive audience back in China.
Now, I don't think that a grand deal on trade is forthcoming. I hope it's not, actually. Trump tried that almost 10 years ago, and China reneged on its promises. He hasn't forgotten. I do think minor deals on beans and Boeing jets are in the open.
They usually are. And an extension, and this is important, of the current trade truce. We'll keep things in place so that we have geopolitical economic stability. China, look, wants us to stop deploying weapons in space, wants us to stop developing AI, stop building data centers, stop the tariffs, stop building for oil, stop selling defensive weapons to Taiwan, and ultimately stop America's reindustrialization. Let me summarize that for our viewers.
Wants to dominate the future. And they will handicap us, cripple us in any way they can in order to achieve that dominance. They'd like to go back to the good old days when they were able to freely cheat on trade and devalue their currency and flood our markets with cheap goods and steal our intellectual property without anybody noticing. You know, we can't forget how they carpet bombed the American industrial heartland, right? Lost thousands, tens of thousands of factories, three million American jobs.
These jobs are now coming back because of the tariffs. And I know that Trump will keep the tariffs in place. Trump has been on China's case for 30 years. He's not going to compromise on key issues. But, Miles, the Soviets wanted to dominate the world, too.
And that's how we approached every negotiation.
So do you think it'll be easier to deal with the Soviets in the 70s and 80s?
Well, you know, I agree with Steve on your monologue. That was brilliant. And you could run on that one for the governor of New York and win. Uh Thank you. Uh You know, almost exactly 67 years ago, in late September 1959.
at the height of Cold War when the Soviets and Americans tried to kill each other. We invited Nikita Khrushchev to visit the United States. We also gave him pomp and circumstance of visiting Pennsylvania and the farm in Iowa and go to Texas.
So this is not really an issue of whether we're going to surrender to communist rule or not. It's just a presidential prudence to avoid kinetic confrontation. And uh as you say I also still agree with you 100%. This nation is poised to take on China on various fronts. You know, uh, back in May, President Trump realized the problem with China is not just that China is playing hard to get refused to sign anything on paper, which they did, but also to enforcement, to enforce what the leadership have promised over there.
That's why in May, there's reached some kind of agreement. There US is going to have this uh ceasefire on tariff. In exchange for China's ease on rare earth and critical minerals. And then there's also uh agreement on various other things including purchase of extra tons of uh American soybeans. But the issue is the enforcement.
So President Trump knew This six-month ceasefire is going to expire in November, so that's why he's going to invite Xi Jim back to Washington in late September to have a progress check.
So, this is what it is. I want to get AI real quick.
So, we're going back and forth here in America. Bernie Sanders, my guiding light, wants to stop AI in his tracks. David Sachs says it's a huge mistake. And here's what he said. Let's listen.
They want a world health organization for AI. They basically want AI governance to be done by some sort of globalist body. What we believe is that responsibility starts at home. Let's look first and foremost to the AI companies that are actually developing the technology.
So, when they say we need to pace the frontier, my view is: guys, go ahead. You are the frontier. Yes, and China's not waiting. Steve, your thoughts on the American debate and how it fits with China's debate.
Well, everybody needs to know that a lot of politicians are running to their microphones right now and warning us about AI right before the election. And China itself is genning up this anger against AI and data centers. These things are being done for political and strategic gain by China largely. The bottom line is that our AI has to be able to outsmart China's AI in order to stop its cyber attacks. You talked in your monologue about the attacks on the water supply, the attacks on the electrical grid.
We have to be able to stop those by having the smartest AI in the world. That's simply the bottom line here in this whole debate. All right. And Miles, you grew up there. You know China well.
Are they at the point where they're intimidated and might slow down because they do not want to leave or lose that total control over their population? Or do you think that they are going to sprint regardless whether we put safeguards on or not? I think that President Trump is right when he says that, you know. deterrence is the ultimate way to keep America great again.
So, you know, we have been playing defense. We have kept complaining about China does this to us. We have to launch offense and to make China. understand and really internalize the possibility that we can actually do unto them what they're trying to do to us. And you know, AI is a is a is a product of of of innovation.
America invented a lot of AI technologies. It has global implications, but it must have a sovereign ownership. We have to own AI in order to prevent China from using AI to dominate the world.
So that's why I think this AI issue actually is new. And we have to play offense. Yeah, and I just like the idea. You know, we don't ask the government to regulate the NFL. We have a commissioner.
Same thing with baseball. If you are going to regulate it, I'd rather it come from the people competing. And I think that we could get moved forward in an entrepreneurial, capitalistic way. Stephen Miles, thanks so much. I want to have you back after we see what emerges from this summit.
I'm a little bit more optimistic than you two, but you're the experts.
Meanwhile, with just 44 days into the midterms, a Fox News poll is showing the cost of living remains the top issue for you. 62% say grocery prices are a major problem for their family. Yep, 61% say the same about gas prices. And majorities are also struggling with housing and health care costs.
So, when voters are asked, without being given a list, what the most important issue facing the country is: 34% say cost of living and inflation, 14% say the economy and jobs. What do these numbers tell us? And can Republicans close that gap in the Final stretch in Buck history, being that they're in power and this is a midterm. Joining us now is Mark Penn. You know, Mark is a pollster and Stagwell chairman.
Mark has spent a lot of years with the Clintons, but just calls them as he sees it. Mark, your thoughts about if the midterms were today, would it spell disaster for Republicans? This would not be a good day for the Republicans to have the midterms. I think they have 44 days left to generate some momentum, to get their message out, to get, I think, the voters agreeing that even if there are economic problems, it's better to let the stewardship of the economy stay with Trump and the Republicans than to have complete national gridlock investigations and a complete do-nothing Congress, which would result in a split Congress at this point.
So I think they've got some good, powerful messages they could get out there, but I wouldn't want to hold that election today. I'll tell you, the magic bullet would be, pun intended, Iran. If that economic stranglehold results in the overturning of that government, where the people rise up and take their country back, that would be a game changer. The other one would be if they find a way to open up both. Those straits, just dropping, seeing gas drop.
Might give people a sense of what could happen if you keep the same person behind the wheel.
Well I think that's a good idea. I tend to have a slightly counterintuitive view on the Iran conflict in that I believe that the stronger the president seems, the more actually he brings more voters out to support America versus Iran. And the more we're in a kind of fuzzy-wuzzy negotiation, halfway measure, higher energy prices, but we're not really winning or losing, the more I think that really it's not an issue that works as strongly for a leader when the leader is leading the country in a clear and definite direction and people realize, you know what, we got to go with America.
So, Mark, I want to bring you to 28. Kamala Harris, many people are waiting for her to make a decision. She thinks she's the frontrunner. She is going with El Sayed and Osoff. Two others that are looked at as, I guess, in some cases, need the help.
In Osoff's case, maybe a star. She thinks she can help them on the campaign trail. Can she?
Well, it all depends whether or not when you're running a campaign, are you trying to get swing voters or are you just trying to turn out your base? It seems to me that everybody in this election is really operating more to turn out their base. And so, could she be helpful with the Democratic base? She's pretty popular with Democrats. She is the front runner in 28.
I think she's a very vulnerable frontrunner because I don't know how many times Democrats want to put the same candidates up to watch them lose. On the other hand, I think if you're talking about bringing the base up, perfectly fine to bring her.
Now, the biggest turnout engine in the country is President Trump. He is a turnout machine, and he is on the road. Really working to turn out the Republican base, which is the job that he can do. Yeah, 28 is going to be the reason why I'm calling you almost every other day, right after November. But I want you to see Ben Shapiro talk about what Harris does to Gavin Newsom.
Watch. He looks at the electoral map like anybody else. And the opening state is South Carolina. If he runs against her in South Carolina, she'll kill him. And so I think that that puts him in a really bad position starting off.
The Democrats shifting the calendar is running against Kamala Harris or maybe Wes Moore. There's a few other candidates who might do really well there, but I don't see why he would run against her if he chose to do that. If that is true, is that why the fly fisherman with Jake Tapper would say if Kamala runs, I won't? Number one, do you believe it? Number two, should that be the answer because he can't win?
Well, look, I think here that Newsom, you know, look, never believe what people say about whether they're going to run or not. I know. Because all of the most famous presidents, from John F. Kennedy on, said that they weren't running before they ran. Yeah, and by the way, we put the poll up, and it has Harris first, Newsom second at 13, Harris at 24, Mayor Pete at 13, AOC at 11.
And it's just, it's very early, but it's very interesting still. And by the way, the last great primary the Democrats had or a real contest was Obama Clinton, and it was fantastic, and they dominated the news cycle, and President Obama ended up winning. Thanks so much, Mark Penn. Always great.
Next, a major warning to the West from a woman that was forced to marry an al-Qaeda terrorist, Yasmin Mohamed, joins us with her story and still to come. The pressure is building against Hollywood. Trace Gallagher breaks it all down, and it's scary. Be sure to catch me on fall, not scary. It's going to be interesting, entertaining, motivational, and patriotic.
I'll be in Red Bank, New Jersey, Westbury, New York. My United States tour, the book is available now at BrianKilme.com.
So are tickets. And I can see you in Clearwater, Jacksonville, and St. Louis. You're watching? One Nation.

Or visit weSharehealth.org and take a look for yourself. A warning for the West about extremism from a former Muslim who experienced it firsthand. Yasmin Mohammed was forced into an abusive marriage with an al-Qaeda operative before escaping and becoming an outspoken human rights activist.
Now she's sounding the alarm about the extremism she says too many in the West are failing or refusing to recognize. Jonah Gasao, the host of Yasmin Mohammed Podcast and author of a new book, Unveiled. Yasmin Mohammed joins us now. Yasmin, first off, tell me about your upbringing and how you ended up in this terrorist relationship. Thanks so much for having me on, Brian.
Yeah, so my mom is from Cairo, Egypt, and my dad is from Gaza. I was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada. And I You know, grew up in a, I guess, your average Canadian household, so I was about five or six years old when my mom became radicalized. And at that point, she became the second wife to an Islamist man. And that's when everything started going downhill in my life.
That's when I started being put in Islamic schools and being put in hijab. And I was resisting the whole time. And because of this resisting, my mom said that she found a man that was finally strong enough to control me. They'd chosen an al-Qaeda terrorist, that they thought this guy will probably, hopefully, finally keep her in line, but I'm. I'm happy to report that both my daughter and I were able to escape from him, and even he wasn't able to keep me in mind.
If I'm right, you had a kid with him. He's now in jail. You escaped from him, and you said you were very lucky to do it. And not only did you wear a burqa, you were, I don't know what words you used for it, but you were totally engulfed. You couldn't even see your eyes.
Yes, that's true. I was wearing a niqab. It's the black niqab that you would see in Saudi Arabia. It was delivered from Saudi Arabia. It had two pieces.
The second piece covers even my eyes. I used to wear these thick black socks, thick black gloves. Not a single piece of my flesh was showing anywhere.
So, you know, it was, people are familiar with the Afghani burqa, where you've kind of got that grate that these women have to see through. It was like that, but black, and I didn't even have a grate. Then you said the one thing that makes you feel like a non-human, no one recognizes you, you just lose your total identity. And I just thought about you when this week we watched Hassan Piker get a question and listen to his answer. And I want you to tell me what you think.
He once said that America is the top dog in terrorism. Do you think America then is worse than Al Qaeda? Pound for pound, as far as the number of deaths, yes, we have caused tremendous terror all around the world. If we want to seek out and punish those who terrorize us, like Al Qaeda, Sometimes, uh, you know, we aid and abet Al-Qaeda. we should also hold ourselves to a similar standard.
If not a higher standard, you said not all Americans are terrorists.
Well, insinuating that some are. I think if you are doing terrorism Then, yes, you are a terrorist. Really? We're worse than El Qaeda. What are your thoughts about this?
You know, Brian, it's absolutely heartbreaking to see how popular this person has become and how he's being uplifted by politicians in the United States. You know, it aggravates me, it infuriates me, but most of all, it terrifies me to see that somebody who speaks no differently than any other. You know, Western hating terrorist anywhere in the Islamic world is in America with. microphones that he can reach millions and millions of people to preach this Islamist ideology, which is so incredibly dangerous, not just to Americans, but to all of the West.
So, Yasmin, there's a difference between a Muslim and an Islamist. Islamists are extremists. They want to infiltrate and take over. You believe El Saeed is an Islamist. Why?
He is 100% an Islamist. He has said it himself. He has said we need to use ballots, not bullets, to win in America. He is speaking exactly like an Islamist would speak because he is an Islamist. An Islamist definition is a Muslim who wants to spread Islam using the political process rather than using violence.
So when he says that it is our jihad to win through ballots, not bullets, that is exactly what he is saying. He has outed himself as an Islamist, and it is absolutely terrifying that people can't tell the difference between him and your average everyday Muslim. And when you speak up against him, they say, oh, you're being Islamophobic, you're being racist, you're being bigoted. But he's hiding under that umbrella. He's hiding under that protection of religious freedom so that he can.
Spread this ideology and he can reach his aim, he called it a jihad. The only difference between an Islamist and a terrorist, both of them are using jihad, both of them are wanting to spread Islam throughout the globe, but one is using bullets and one is using ballots. And that's what you're voting for. That's going to be your choice, him or Mike Rogers. And there's been a whole bunch of others, radical Muslims who are running for office, who have very interesting things to say about the country, and it doesn't seem too positive.
You've unveiled it in your book, Unveiled. Pick it up. And also, you're the host of the Yasmin Muhammad podcast. Yasmin, thanks so much. Thank you so much for having me, Brian.
Hey, quick note: please check out my YouTube channel. Everybody's talking about it: youtube.com/slash at the Brian Kill Me Show. You will love it. And now, next on this show, Don't Move. Only on One Nation, the great Jimmy Phela is here with the media moments that matter most to him.
Jimmy, walk on over. I believe we're going to play music.
Well, we bought the rights to this song. Let's go. There you go. Forward. David.

Or visit weSharehealth.org and take a look for yourself. This is a Fox News alert on Mary Ann Rafferty. Protesters taken to the streets in Austin, Texas at this hour after an ICE officer shot a man. It happened around 1 p.m. local time after a traffic stop.
Local officials say the 28-year-old victim was shot in the torso. He was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. His wife says she's been told he's now in ICE custody. It's not clear what led to the shooting, but a DHS source telling Fox News the man is an illegal immigrant from Venezuela with final orders for removal. And the East Coast is bracing for a potentially powerful nor'easter this week.
It's expected to bring days of heavy rain, high surf, strong winds, and coastal flooding. The storm will strengthen and track north along the east coast. Meantime, dangerous heat continues to bake the south with near triple-digit temperatures. The region is expected to cool down by next week. I'm Marianne Rafferty, now back to One Nation.
Media moments that matter. All right, time for everyone's favorite segment. I mean, everyone. And this week I gave my OnlyVCR, my TV guide, all my cords of my tape stock to the great Jimmy Phala, the same one that hosts Saturday Night with Jimmy Phala. You're the guy.
That's a big damn deal. Unfortunately, I did trade in your VCR for this jacket. That's all they would give me. And I wound up owing them a few bucks, but I was important and I made sure I taped things before I left. Fantastic.
They're both classics.
So, what's the first thing you came up with here?
So, we got to start with this moon bat, Hassan Piker, and we've got a greatest hits montage for you of things he said this week, including America is worse than Al-Qaeda.
Now, Brian, I will have you know, I drove a New York City taxi. I know most of Al-Qaeda. Right.
Okay, so I have a real stake here. Let's watch it. Do you think the Middle East would be more stable if Iran had a nuclear weapon? I believe, yes. I think that the Middle East would be more stable.
Having said that, once again, I'm not advocating. I'm not trying to send Iran enriched nuclear uranium. You once said that. America is the top dog in terrorism. Do you think America, then, is worse than Al Qaeda?
Pound for pound, as far as the number of deaths, yes, we have caused tremendous terror all around the world. I mean, I've talked to AOC, yes. Have contact with AOC and her team, yes. And, you know, numerous other politicians. What goes on for her if she did run?
Oh, absolutely. Yes.
Now, what I like about that video is if you listen closely, you can hear Abdul Al-Saeed's donors shooting themselves. Absolutely. Shut this guy up for Revit. It's like Jimmy, he's pretending he doesn't know him. He calls him a streamer from California.
They were campaigning together up until 48 hours before. If they were hanging out, they must have like the best friends' t-shirts. They did 100 events. I know. Podcasts, everything else.
They would have a spin-off sitcom, which is going to happen hopefully after he loses. But I think Hassan Pike, which is really crazy, is he's had the whole squad on. He's had Bernie Sanders on. He's had Jamie Raskin on.
So they're all in on this. It is not just El Saeed. No, ma'am, but he also does have a $3 million Brentwood mansion his parents bought him. And that's my wish for America: that we all get as rich as the people pushing socialism. Right.
You know, if we could just be there, we'd have a shot. Absolutely. Are you ready for the second one? This is a banger. Where do you stop?
Okay, we head over to The View Now, which I know is considered a hate crime to a lot of your audience, and rightfully so.
Sonny hosted Love Dad at Hollywood because she writes all of these smut novels and no one. Wants to turn one into a movie.
Okay, so you got to hear Sonny whining about how they won't adopt her novel. Watch this. I've written a trilogy, and for six years, I've tried to get my films or my stories made into series and films. And the gatekeeping in Hollywood around black and brown creative content is insane. I cannot get New York Times' best-selling books onto the screen to tell diverse stories to diverse communities.
I really do wish someone would call Tyler Perry and tell him black people can't make these. Absolutely, yeah. And they get Byron Allen on the other line, too. And maybe Dental Washington's free. By the way, and it's so stupid, okay, because what she really did was write garbage content.
And unfortunately, Skinamax is no longer in business. It's not really a market. The only thing is, Jimmy, is you know more than anything else because you hustle. If I'm really, if I'm her and I want to get that done, you got an iPhone. Yeah.
You can actually do your own movie that works. I mean, that's what all these, so many of these people do. You can produce anything you want. Look at Kim Kardashian. There it is.
All right. There's a woman who literally said. Started from the bottom, bro. Hey, Kelly. 22 reports.
You ready for one more? This is my all-time. Is that a one-camera shoot? I'm pretty sure. Nobody was switching.
I have nothing to add. Fresh off his big Emmy win. Stephen Colbert took a victory lap on Jimmy Kimmel's show and talked about how drinking a cup of poison is part of the daily routine when you host a late-night show. The rigors you subject yourself to to write the same 53 Trump jokes night after night. Watch this.
Do you think about it ever? Nope. I will say about the news every day. And I took it. You took it, yeah.
You, I, you know, I, I, when I saw you last night, or what was it, yeah, last night, I felt like you, I don't know, you just seemed like a different person. You seemed happier, you seemed healthier. Like, I don't, like I don't drink a cup of poison every day? Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
Because part of the job is, you know, the old gig, as I remember it, was that, was to be lowered like carbon rods into a radioactive pool every day, and then to be pulled out and put in front of a camera and to irradiate it back at the audience at a non-lethal rad level. That's right. That's exactly the job description. And it's also why those guys are rating behind the ULOG.
Okay. Because of the disconnect. Think about him giving you this woe-is-me speech of hosting a late night show. You look so much more at peace. Tell that to the comic who's driving to Albuquerque right now to make $200 this weekend and chicken fingers if he's lucky.
That it was hard hosting a late night show ever. It's embarrassing. Jimmy, the other thing is, how much would that person give to do the last five minutes and not devote it to an activist lecture? Right.
Yeah, not do the vaccine dance. That's the only thing they don't tell you, is when they canceled Colbert's show, they euthanized it with those leftover vaccine needles. Which is, by the way, it's worth googling on YouTube because it's unbelievable to see. If you want to see Jimmy on stage, we got the dates, we got the times, we even had the headshot. Whoa.
I mean, you must have had a whole photo shoot. I've seen so many different pictures of you. There's a lot of dates. They sell out quick, so get on it. How about that airbrusher, by the way?
I'm attracted to that guy. Matt says you're just as cute a person. Am I right? Matt? All right.
All right. Thanks so much, Tim. All right, that was a great show last night.
Meanwhile, another Hollywood staple is leaving. What that means for the future of Tinteltown and all of California next, Trace Gallagher with us live.
Okay. 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? That's why I want you to take a look at WeShare Health. WeShare isn't health insurance.
It's a non-profit, 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. You're the fire. Hollywood. You're going to Hollywood. You're going to Hollywood.
You're going to Hollywood. You're going to Hollywood. Get it, get it, hot talk. Great moment, right? For 24 seasons, we've heard the American Idol Judges.
Tell contestants you're going to Hollywood. Not anymore. Why? Season 25 of the Hit Competition Show is moving its production to Georgia.
So you're gonna hear a different congratulations. You're going to Atlanta, perhaps? By the way, they have a lucrative tax incentive program, and that's why they're moving. And Paramount could be next. The studio is apparently thinking of leaving California for Nashville.
That'll be tens of thousands of jobs, by the way. It comes as President Trump pushes for a federal film and TV tax incentive, with a new industry study projecting they could more than double U.S. production spending by 2032 and support more than 143,000 jobs. The president from Washington is trying to help California. Here to expand on that is Fox News at Night, host Trace Gallagher, who, by the way, Trace, every single night you come to us from California.
When we heard American Idol is moving, I thought, man, this is really a wake-up call. Do you believe that people are beginning to understand Hollywood is going to become a relic? Yeah, I mean, listen, the whole problem here is that Hollywood has told the state of California again and again: listen, it's too expensive to do business here. We have to pay these employees too much, the taxes are too high, the housing is too high, we cannot afford to shoot in Southern California anymore. And the state of California has kind of shrugged their shoulders, like, well, you got to deal with it like everybody else.
It's not just American Idol, Brian. You're talking about the masked singer that's also leaving, and you're talking about Paramount. They're now in negotiations, but it looks very likely that Paramount is about to leave the state of California. And what happens here is you have these studios. It's not just the actors and the production thing.
You go to studios right down the street here and they are empty. I mean, you've got acres and acres of buildings and land that are empty, catering services not working. You've got all of these different facets of the entertainment industry that are not working. I had an Uber driver for me. A week ago, who was normally a stage grip, and he hasn't worked in almost two years.
So now he's driving an Uber Brian, and that's the whole thing: Hollywood is collapsing, but it's self-imposed. You know, the state of California could give the same tax breaks that Nashville is giving, and that other states are giving, and that Canada is giving, but they won't. And that's the whole thing: trying to get through this. And these are all Democrats. I mean, entertainment and the California legislature and the California government, primarily Democrats, and they still can't come together to get the terms right.
Real quick, what President Trump offered a few weeks ago about the tax incentives to keep Hollywood Hollywood that seemed to be embraced, was it? I think it has been embraced. The question is, this can't be a one-horse town. You can't just have the federal government. I mean, it's like the fraud.
You know, the state of California is doing nothing for fraud, and you have the federal government trying to end all the California fraud. It's the same thing. The president is trying to help. The president wants to give the bullet train money, give these other things money, but it's not enough, Brian.
So, Trace, you've had unbelievable success in your career. You've earned every ounce of it, especially what I've seen here at Fox. I also know you're a great athlete along the way. That's the story you tell in the book. Turns out they were right all along.
But it's the lessons that you go over and the things that you maybe perhaps got wrong that you want to help other people through their life journey. Why was that important?
Well, because you know this is the book that I wished I had when I was 25 and the bottom line is is you get a lot of advice as you're growing up Especially a guy like me who was in athletics I played college football I was a professional water skier for for quite some time and what happens is is that you run across some people that are well known that are not well known and they they kind of offer guidance and you can see that their guidance is meant for to be great but when you're young you're like ah I don't need that kind of stuff. And then you come back on it and you realize how very valuable it was. And if it's the John Wooden story where the greatest coach in college basketball tells you how to put your shoes and socks on, or whether it's your high school baseball coach who actually builds a team and builds a phenomenal program without a baseball field because there's 500 inches of snow on the baseball field every year, the whole idea behind this, Brian, is that you know, sometimes you have to listen.
Sometimes you have to fight for yourself and show up for the fight, right? The great education secretary Bill Bennett would say, it's great to win the fight, more important to show up. It shows your competitor you're willing to go toe-to-toe, face-to-face, and endure some very tough consequences, even if you win. But then again, it is good to be uncomfortable in your life and do hard things in your life. And this book is kind of going over some of those tough times and lessons that helped you out of those tough times.
Here's an excerpt from the book I think it's important to share. Every successful person you write, I know, got that way from a combination of hard work and intestinal fortitude, an innate talent, a bit of luck, and more than a dash of common sense. And that all of them have something else in common, or maybe should say someone else in common. They all have had teachers, coaches, mentors they hold dear. As I like to say, show me a coachable kid, and I will show you an employable adult.
Interesting that you would bring that up. It's my favorite phrase. Yeah, and why is that important? It's my favorite phrase, Brian, because. Because, because you know, I played youth football and youth little league, and you know, some of my favorite and best teachers were actually coaches, and vice versa.
Some of my best coaches were actually teachers. And what happens is you have to ride sometimes the shoulders of giants, and those giants can come in all shapes and sizes. But it's without teamwork, I don't care how much hard work, I don't care how much talent you have, without teamwork and without luck, you're not really going anywhere. And you know, when it comes to luck, your mentors and coaches and teachers can help you increase your luck. Faith, family, friends, fortitude, and fun.
You can't get to the fun until you get to the first four. And you've got to have a good base, you got to pick your friends wisely. Show me your friends, I'll show you your future. And you've got to have a good support system around you and people giving you guidance. That was a lot of F's, and you were able to help us with our centers, too.
A lot of lessons you got to pick it out. Turns out they were right all along. Thanks so much. And we could always tracegallegrowbooks.com to find out what you're going to appear, all right? Yeah, exactly.
I'll be in book signings across the country, and please come and we'll sign some books and we'll have some fun. Lines will be used. Thanks so much, Trace. Congratulations.
Now it's time for America's sneak peek of the week.
So let me tell you what to expect this week. You know how I started the show with President Xi and President Trump. They're going to meet in Washington, D.C., and the president is really looking forward to this. Then there'll be a big meeting right here in New York at the UN General Assembly. All the Gulf states getting together with the President, hopefully, get together with a plan against Iran that will really work.
And finally, there's a vote scheduled to the Protect the College Sports Act. Randy Levine's been here talking about it. Hopefully, this will pass at least the Senate, the Senate version, too. Also, the Senate's going to have a hearing on the controversial flock cameras, which track people that can read license plates.
Some people are freaked out about it. Law enforcement loves it. And it's the final week of the regular season, Major League Baseball season. Then we get to the good stuff. It's called the playoffs.
