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.

Uh Hi everyone, so glad you're there. The Brian Killmee Show, an exciting week here in New York City, as the world really has come to the United Nations and so much on the line.

You got the Iran deal, AI, everyone talking about it. You have the situation in the entire Persian Gulf, and of course, you got presidential midterm elections. And Donald Trump's always different. I mean, the world leaders all want to meet with him. They all have opinions of him.

They all want to win him over. And the president also lands deals. He wants to make things happen. He doesn't like to do things traditionally. He never has.

And the one thing maybe we'll find out if the president's going to meet with the president of Iran. Should he? After all, does he have any power to begin with? Also, is the president going to call out, I guess, could be Russia and China for what they're doing with Iran? I doubt it.

He doesn't seem to really want to get tough with the Russians, but they man, they're playing a deleterious role in what's happening there.

So, before we get to our first guest at the bottom of the air, Lieutenant Colonel Alan West, let's get to the big three. Number three. We want to start discussing protocols for what are so both sides can agree on what the leading AI dangers are, whether it's uncontrollable agents, whether it's non-state actors. That is the Secretary of Treasury. AI regulations and agreements on the table.

Will China play ball? And if not, should we on our own examine all aspects? Number two. On Monday, Iran targeted two additional oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz as the IRGC ramps up attacks on this critical waterway. With the UN General Assembly this week, international focus remains on the conflict with Iran and the possibility of a diplomatic solution.

Iran comes to town with the war playing the dominant role at the United Nations. With our economy in the midterm straight ahead, we discuss our options. Number one, there's a series of meetings he's holding today. Each one of them could dominate a president's day. He's got to meet with the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the leader of Japan.

He's got a plan to sign a new agreement with Denmark over security in Greenland. He has to meet with the leaders of Gulf states who are concerned about the war with Iran. And later tonight, he meets for the first time with the president of Venezuela. Big speech for President Trump today at the UN after spending Monday with the Mayor Mom Donnie. The message today and what we learned from their meeting yesterday.

I was a little disappointed the president met with the mayor. I just think he's a clown. I think what he believes economically is the exact opposite of the president of the United States. I also believe that he does not understand capitalism, does not understand our country and our culture, and constantly underachieves. And everything that he's done, even though his approval rating is high in the city, because he's got a big smile and fills potholes, he wanted to get the grocery stores going.

It's going to cost us $30 million and nothing's done. Freezing rents has been a flat-out disaster. There are no free buses. You just keep naming policy. He does not pull it off.

Again, promising to arrest Netanyahu if he comes here. Netanyahu will come here. He will not get arrested.

So the President of the United States said this yesterday after going to Gracie Mansion and meeting with the President. Cut nine. I've seen it with numerous different mayors and I said some great ones and some not so great ones, so hopefully you're going to be a great one. I certainly hope he will be a great mayor. You have to understand, I want what's good for New York.

I want what's good for the country.

So if I had a choice of having him be a bad mayor or horrible mayor, I don't want that. I want him to be a great mayor, and he's certainly got potential.

Well, I mean, what he wants is money for the federal government, and what he also wants is to be able to keep his congestion cameras. And what he also wants is the temporary the TPS, the Haitians emergency temporary protective order for the Haitians to be able to be extended. And the President says no. A court ruled and you're out. This is what he asked the President.

This is what the President said in response. Cut fourteen. Are you talking about T P S which affects so many frontiers here Haitians who have their T P S removed? A lot of New Yorkers are here on protected status and it's been removed.

Well, the mayor feels very strongly about it, I can tell you, and he did bring it up. But he feels very, very strongly about it. I feel strongly about a lot of things. I feel strongly about taking care of people. And that's what we do.

We're doing a good job of it. Yeah, they're leaving. And that's temporary protective status. You see a lot with the Haitians, and he did it with the Venezuelans, and to a degree, the Afghanis. The President's cracking down on immigration, even in parts of which aren't as popular as enforcing the border.

And we'll see what happens and what it means for the midterms. But the President of the United States will put that meeting in his rearview mirror. He's going to meet with Del C. Rodriguez of Venezuela. He's also going to meet with Zelensky today of Ukraine.

And then he's going to meet, have a, I guess, a rendezvous with the foreign minister of China. But then, most importantly, he's going to give his speech this morning, and we'll be carrying some of that. And I'll bring back some highlights of that.

So the president loves being the center of attention, and he always thrives it, thrives on doing that. He's also going to meet with the UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham and the Japanese Prime Minister. Sand uh Sanjay Takachi.

So he's going to hear Japan say, we got a problem with China trying to take an island that belongs to us. And Andy Burnham is trying to say, we got that trade deal. I signed it. How else can we work together? And I think that will be important to get off on the right trip right foot because Andy Burnham, when he was a candidate, was quite negative towards President Trump.

Mike Waltz said this yesterday about what the President was going to be looking to do today at the UN. Cut four. He's always open to talks, he's always open to diplomacy, he's always open to crafting some kind of peace deal. But the Iranians have to come to the table with good faith, and we have to know that they're actually speaking for the Ayatollah. We've seen now time after time we come to an agreement, and then they go back to Tehran, and between the IRGC and the civilians and others, and the religious clerics, they end up backing away or pulling the rugs out from under us.

Yeah, uh that's just it. You talk to the President of the United States and I mean, excuse me, the president of Moran. I don't know what it means. Even if the guy let's say he is sincere. And this guy's remember, this guy's a backup.

The other president died in a helicopter crash. And no one says it was suspicious, by the way.

So that president died and and in the way that par parliamentary system is set up The supreme leader's got all the power. And the president has some power, but not that much. People can elect the guy, but for the most part, he doesn't have that much power.

So if you do meet with him, he brings a message back. And I don't know what the new system, what kind of power he has, but you do bring up his prestige if you do meet with him. But the President says I like to meet people face to face and see where they stand.

So here's what Marco Rubio told us on Fox and Friends Cut A. The one thing we are concerned about, however, is that over the last few months, on a number of occasions, American linked ships, American oil supplies have been targeted, probably not deliberately, but targeted nonetheless by Ukraine. And so that's something that needs to be addressed. We can't have that happen. But obviously, you know, look, that's why the President has always wanted to end this war and is prepared to do anything he can to bring it to an end.

It's been difficult, but we remain hopeful that something can happen there. Yeah, we would propose that. We think that would be a great idea: an energy infrastructure ceasefire in which Ukraine's infrastructure is not being targeted, Russian energy supplies are not being targeted as well. It's an ideal outcome. It's one that we're in favor of, and we would propose and see if we can achieve.

We've talked to a number of countries about that as well. But just like the war, it takes two sides to agree to that. And so that's been the challenge. Right. It's been the challenge.

And guess what? Ukraine has now stopped, it continues to target the energy sector, back to up on refineries. But the Russians made an announcement. They're not going to export any diesel. 'Cause they're going to look to up the price of diesel.

When are we going to realize the Russians have no redeeming qualities? Vladimir Putin, anyway. Maybe some of the Russian people do. I just haven't seen them yet. At one point, we have to realize that.

So he says, okay, it'll be bad for the president and his midterm elections.

So we're going to up the price of diesel. Even though the president went out of his way to condemn Ukraine for going after diesel, which I thought was a big risk and kind of weird, it didn't make much sense to me. I'll take a short time out now. When we come back, I'll talk about the midterm elections and what it all means.

Now it looks like the Senate is a toss-up, and the House, they say, is leans Democrat, but I think they're both in play, especially if the president can somehow alleviate the pressure on both the Strait of Hermuz and the Strait by the Red Sea. You're listening to the Brian Killme show. Politics, current events, and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say. Stay with Brian Kilmead.

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.

Or visit weShareHealth.org and take a look for yourself. From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian. kill me. I would be Not honest if I didn't say I was highly bullish on the Democratic chances come November, but I think they're fine. I think they're good.

I mean, I think we'll do, but history is with us, and then we go right into 28. That is James Carville feeling pretty good about where they're at in the midterm elections. Remember, he said Trump is going to not finish his presidency and Kamala Harris, I guarantee you, will win.

So he doesn't think Trump is going to finish his four years. The only person in America who feels that way. I don't think Jon Stewart, I don't think Robert De Niro thinks he's not going to finish. Guy loves being president. Why would you do that?

But just talking about the midterm elections, I mean, the polls don't look great right now. You have some people breaking from the president. You have the Congressman Salazar over in Florida saying, Mr. President, you're too tough when it comes to immigration. Mike Rogers yesterday saying the war has got to end.

But you have James Carvo continuing to weigh in. You know, he actually weighed in on 28, too. He thinks of all people, Governor Pritzker is somebody to look at. Pritzker, cut 16. I did not say that I thought Pritzker was the better sort.

What I said is I think he's undervalued. And what I said before, if I got him at 12 to 1, I would take him.

Now, if I've, you and I, we love gambling. If I said, if I bet on a 12 to 1 horse, that's not saying I think it's cost value. I think Prisk has got good value. Not in any way saying I've endorsed him, I've said he won't win. Yeah, and he also said, to his credit, he said that I'm on a GLP one shot.

And he said, I lost a lot of weight. I think I think it could be a good example to other people that want to lose weight. The guy's going to run for president. He thinks he can buy the whole thing. And that's just it.

He said he's lost 80 pounds on GLP one. And that means, I mean, we know he's running. He said his father died at a heart attack at the age of thirty nine. Governor Prisca, I decided to share my health journey with GLP One because I thought I might take make a difference with others. I don't take for granted that we now have tools to help us live healthier lifestyles.

So there you go. Certainly a help. You know, yesterday, a big setback for Hassan Piker. Did you see the battle he got in with Brandon Gill?

Social media erupted over Hassan Piker's post targeting Brandon Gill's wife. Brandon Gill said our next, Hassan Piker is the poster child for why we need to end birth tourism. He was born to Turkish nationals, was raised in Turkey to hate Western civilization, and now spends his time working to make America weaker and our enemies stronger. Hassan Piker puts out. Your wife is Indian.

Your wife is Indian. What's wrong with you? Two days later, Gil probably saw it and said, My wife's an American born, is American, born in America to American citizens. She deeply loves our nation and its culture. You, on the other hand, were born to foreign invaders and want to turn America into a third world culture you raised in while advocating for communism at your $3 million mansion in between electrocuting your dog.

So, good luck. There was no response from Hassan Piker, who is the good friend. Of El Saeed, who for some reason does have a one or two point lead in Michigan, and I can't understand it. These are tight races today. He's going to be campaigning with Kamala Harris.

He's going to try to win the black foot. He's got no black support, and he's trying to maximize it. Evidently, she's got black support. I don't know why, but she does. The first public campaign appearance since Harris endorsed him.

GOP candidate Mike Rogers called it desperation as El Sadid tries to struggle to win over black voters backed by who backed who backed Haley Stevens. Everyone, when they talk to L Said, they bring up Piker right away, and he doesn't want to talk about it. Listen to this. Cut. Yeah.

I would like to be talking about the things that matter to Michiganders, which is gas and groceries and the ability to see a doctor. I do understand that people like to make this race about a streamer in California. It's a comfortable thing for somebody like Mike Rogers to have to talk about a streamer in California because he does not want to talk about the issues that Michiganders are facing, whether that's the insane price of gas or the price of groceries because of the Iran war, or it's the fact that we're having to pay so much more to lose our jobs because of the tariffs. Right. Because of what?

The terrace? Who's he called on the terrace? Oh, for the tariffs. I thought you said tariffs. You could say that, but he's also bringing back car manufacturing with those tariffs.

He also nailed about twenty deals with those tariffs. I do know the Canadian thing would help definitely help Michigan if we could settle that for Maine, Michigan and Ohio. He went on on CNN, Cut nineteen. The reason that that keeps coming up is because it is a talking point for people who don't want to actually talk about real issues. It's a dumb comment.

He himself has called it a dumb comment. And they keep bringing it up because all they can talk about is the comment of a guy who has zero power aside from his stream, rather than talk about the guy who has a lot of power to make dumb wars that we're paying for, whether it's an actual war in Iran that everybody could have told him he wasn't going to be able to get out of, or it's a trade war with Canada, like our best neighbor, and the people who preemptively apologize for things. It's not our best tape when it comes to trade. Do a little bit of research. They don't budge when it comes to trade.

And when it came to the tariffs to get their attention, they had a retaliation and they took all the American liquor off the shelves. That's one of the Italian nations. And they hit us back with tariffs.

Now China did too. We got into an agreement, and that got us all the way to November 11th. We're having a meeting in September. President is to land this plane. The President got a call a month ago from the Canadian Trade Administrators and said, hey, we want to do a deal.

Out which time they walked away at the very last minute. But one thing that El Saeed can't walk away from is his past, his past comments, as well as association with Hassan Piker, one of which is Todd Beamer. Todd Beamer, as you know, lost his life in Fight 93. He was the one who said, let's roll. His dad is out there fighting to keep his legacy alive, and he's a little insulted that El Saeed continues to hang out with a guy that says we deserve 9-11.

Listen to some of this ad, Cut 21. When I hear. anyone suggest America deserved. Nile Lovett. My question is.

Who? Which say that? Yeah. Uh and why would you hang out with him? And he said just as bad things the other day, we're we're a bigger terrorist nation than al-Qaeda.

I mean, this guy does not like America. I'm talking about Hassan Piker, and he put El Saeed on the map, and he also has gotten every squad member on there, including Bernie Sanders. Let's talk about some other races in Texas. Ken Paxton closing the gap and getting a ton of money, flooding the scene. Here he is yesterday talking about how Tallarico looks to weaponize his religion, CUT 23.

This race is about defending Texas and our country. It's also about safeguarding our faith and our way of life. I have never seen someone so willing to weaponize faith to sell a radical agenda. He does talk a lot about it, and then says some weird things about it too. But Ken Paxson is not getting help from George W.

Bush or John Cornyn. They're both doing some fundraisers together, but they're not giving any money to Paxson. Cut twenty-five. There is so much at stake in this election. This is not just another seat on the board.

We all know this. If we lose Texas, we lose America. Right. Well, you lose Senate, no doubt about it. Ted Cruz knows that, Code 26.

We are gathered at a time of a true battleground. Because Texas Has become a battleground. The enemy has set its sights on Texas.

Now the reporters might think I mean Chuck Schumer when I say that. But there are a lot bigger enemies than that. Texas is a battleground, and I think the Senate race in the state of Texas. is the clearest and starkest choice of any race in the country. You never know when he's done or not.

There's a lot of pauses there, like Keem Jeffries, just a little bit. All right, we're going to see. We come back, Lieutenant Colonel Alan West. I'm going to talk about Texas and where we're going from here. There's also some Senate, some congressional seats that Donald Trump won big that are closing big time.

And we'll see what it all means. You're listening to the Brian Kilmey Show.

So glad you're there. 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 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.

Or visit weShareHealth.org and take a look for yourself. A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. I don't really understand this idea that parents should decide what's being taught. I'm not a professional educator.

I don't have a degree in social studies or science. We send our children to school because we want them to be taught by people who have expertise in the subject area.

So that is Nicole Hannah-Jones says parents should not decide what their kids are being taught. You should have nothing to do with that. Yet she sent her own kid into a failing school in New York City, and that kid has grown up to resent the author of the 1619 Project, which was so detrimental to America's development.

So Daniel Intrafrenzi also brought this, who is a Brooklyn Charter School graduate and opinion fellow at the Boston Globe. By the way, the charter schools do much better. The Success Academy, one of the most successful in the country, said this about the choice she made for her kid, Cut 37. Nicole Hannah Jones' arguments about school segregation in New York City does not really match a peripherality. Wealthy white parents understand that the Department of Education has many faults until they move their children because they have the means to.

Asian parents who have the means to do the same. If they don't have the means, they lobby for gifted and talented programs and for specialized high schools. Right, and that's usually what happens. Let's bring in Lieutenant Colonel Alan West. Colonel, welcome back.

It's good to be with you, Brian. Thanks so much.

So, Nicole Hannah Jones, she did so much damage to this country by saying that we're based on slavery when those were the first slaves that came here in 1619, as if we invented it, that horrendous practice. And then we find out the New York Times give her a pullet, gets her a bullets or prize, and then she's got to spend the rest of the decade just walking back some of the erroneous statements in there. And now she's even saying with her own kid, maybe I made a mistake.

Well, you know, one of the things I think about in Proverbs 22, 6, it says, train up a child in the way they should go so when they grow old, they shall not depart from it. That's a responsibility of parents. And I can tell you, going back to my parents, I grew up in the inner city of Atlanta, Georgia. They made the decision to send me to Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School, which was there in our neighborhood right across the street from Ebenezer Baptist Church instead of the public schools that were there. I ended up graduating from a public high school.

But my parents took stock into my education because they knew how important it was. And I did the exact same thing with my wife, Angela, with our two daughters, and now we're involved in our grandsons' education as well.

So for her to say that parents don't have a part in education, that goes back to when we saw parents showing up at school board meetings during the Biden administration. And the next thing you know, they're castigating and demonizing parents as domestic terrorists because they're concerned about what their children are learning.

So this is part of. that whole Marxist view that you turn our kid your kids over to the state and we'll control their education. And I don't think that's an American principle. Yeah, there's a lot to discuss with that for another time. It's just the detriment of that.

Howard Zinn, when he talks about, wrote about America. He had a whole group of generations of Americans who grow up and were taught how to hate the country. And now we're dealing with some of that now. Let's talk about the Texas race. Here's Senator Ted Cruz on what's at stake with this Senate, Paxton against Tallarico, Cut 26.

We are gathered at a time of a true battleground. Because Texas. has become a battleground. The enemy has set his sights on Texas.

Now, the reporters might think I mean Chuck Schumer when I say that. But there are a lot bigger enemies than that. Texas is a battleground, and I think the Senate race in the state of Texas. Is the clearest and starkest choice of any race in the country? Do you think so?

Yes, I do. And I think that Republicans are now getting a cold slap in the face, but they have to pay attention to a trend that's been going on, and that is the success of the the Democrats, the progressive, the left, and red states. I'm sitting here at Savannah Airport and Georgia, where I was born and raised.

Now look at the two senators that they have. And it's all because of five areas, the Atlanta, Fulton County area, Macon, Columbus, Augusta, and down here in Savannah. You're seeing the exact same thing happen in North Carolina. You're seeing it happen in Texas.

So we have to start paying attention to the major urban population centers, which the Republicans have, you know, perennially just poo-pooed away and just said we're not going to pay attention. But that's where you see the greatest amount of failure of the policies of the left. And that's coming back to the issue of education. It's coming back to the issue of safety and security.

So I think the lesson learned for Republicans now is to start. Yeah. Fighting in these inner cities, these communities, and stop just giving it over to the Democrats because they're. population centers are starting to tip the balance in red states. Yeah, we're starting to see that.

What about the Hispanic vote? And you saw Congresswoman Salazar say that the aggression with throwing out people, hunting down Hispanics that came here illegally perhaps. but having committed a crime are working against the voting base. Yeah. She's supposedly a lawmaker.

She's a member of the legislative branch. And Title VIII, United States Code 1325, Unauthorized Entry into the United States of America, is a federal offense. First time misdemeanor, subsequent times felony.

So we need to abide by the rule of law, and she needs to be supporting the rule of law. She doesn't like it, then change the law. The other thing is that to try to say that this is just about Hispanics, that's not true. I mean, I was down on the border. I saw what we've got 25 to 30,000 single Chinese military-age males that came in.

We saw the Haitian issue. We've seen all kinds of people come in. Look at what just happened there in Silver Spring, Maryland. That was not a Hispanic person. He was here illegally.

How did he get to become a rideshare driver? He raped a teenage girl.

So we have issues in this country and I wish that we had lawmakers that stood up for the rule of law and not for their own ideological agendas and the people in the Hispanic community, black community, Asian community, white community, whatever, they want to have safe communities and they don't want to see their young people. They don't want to see their sons and daughters or themselves. become victims of people that are here illegally. But we have to have a standard, and that standard is the rule of law in protecting our sovereignty. Uh, and Ken Paxon right now trailing by three, is that where you think the race is at?

You know, who can tell? I mean, you know, these pollsters have been all over the place recently. The bottom line, it comes down to turnout, and we're just, what, about 39 days away from early voting happening, and so we've got to get people out. And I think the most important thing is Kim Paxon needs to focus on those, again, Houston, Dallas, Austin, and try to get a percentage of people to come out because otherwise you're just going to see that area over. It's going to look like Tallerico is going to win early on, but then, of course, the votes from West Texas will kick in.

And we'll see if it's going to be enough. He certainly is going to have the money. The money's beginning to pour in in a bunch of places now. And we'll see if it's going to work in New Hampshire, see if it's going to work in Minnesota, see if it's going to work in reversing fortunes over in Ohio, which has been pretty reliable. Red.

J.D. Vance was in North Carolina, where Mike Watley is trailing by eight, cut 27. This November is not like the elections that most of us grew up with. You know, where the debates were about taxation or how much we should regulate this or that. This midterm election is between people who believe this country should have a future and those who would rather see it destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up.

We don't have time for politicians who want to play both sides. Who promise you that they're moderates while giving the crazies everything they want? My friends. This November is make or break.

So do you like that message? It's a good message, but I think once again, you need to further define the quote unquote crazies. These are people that say the Constitution of the United States of America is an obstacle to what they want to do. And just last week, we celebrated the 239th anniversary of our United States Constitution. When you talk about America 250, this election could set the conditions for America 300.

So I think it's very important that we articulate who these people are and again, articulate some of the failures of Governor Cooper when he was governor there, now he's running to be the senator.

So you've got to crystallize that message and not just throwing out the crazy thing.

So I want to talk about AI. Here's the Treasury Secretary Scott Besson. On CNBC, talking about what they're going to discuss in terms of guardrails and parameters, CUT 29. Our discussions yesterday, we talked about economics, we talked about AI, we had some deliverables that have not been completely fulfilled for from our meeting in Busan, Korea. Last fall, and then we started an AI dialogue, which I think is going to be very important.

And again, This is possible because of the leader's relationship.

So what do you expect to happen with President Sheen? I got to tell you, I think it's really time that we take a hard stand with President Xi. I mean, we know that China has said that America is their number one geopolitical foe, and we've got to do everything that we possibly can to isolate them economically. And we are in a race. We're in a race in space.

We're in a race with AI. We've got to stop allowing China to come in here and buy up our farmlands like we see in Texas and many other countries. I mean, many other states here in the United States of America. And again, I go back to what I originally said, 25,000 to 30,000 single military age males, Chinese, came across our border during the Biden administration. They didn't come over to work on houses or work in hotels and things of that nature.

So we've got to take a stronger position with Xi Jinping. I think so too. No doubt about it. They have some weaknesses. They have youth unemployment, got empty cities, nobody's there to work, single child policy, diminishing population.

They're having to bring people in, and yet they want to keep their secret society. And we know they are helping Iran, and they're helping the Russians.

So there's two spots that's causing us a lot of money in lives. Thanks so much, Colonel Alan West. Thank you. That was a pleasure. Take care, Brian.

Back in a moment. Diving deep into today's top stories. It's Brian Kilmead. 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 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 1-88-WESHARE for a free quote. That's 1-88-0-8-0-1.

WeShare, or visit we sharehealth.org and take a look for yourself. A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmead. The one thing we are concerned about, however, is that over the last few months, on a number of occasions, American-linked ships, American oil supplies have been targeted, probably not deliberately, but targeted nonetheless by Ukraine. And so that's something that needs to be addressed.

We can't have that happen. But obviously, you know, look, that's why the president has always wanted to end this war and is prepared to do anything he can to bring it to an end. It's been difficult, but we remain hopeful that something can happen there. Yeah, we would propose that. We think that would be a great idea.

An energy infrastructure ceasefire in which Ukraine's infrastructure is not being targeted. Russian energy supplies are not being targeted as well. It's an ideal outcome. It's one that we're in favor of, and we would propose and see if we can achieve. We've talked to a number of countries about that as well.

But just like the war, it takes two sides to agree to that. And so that's been the challenge. So here's the deal: the president said, hey, stop to Zelensky. I understand why you're doing it, but can you stop hitting the refineries? Diesel's high.

So Zelensky said, sure. If they stop hitting all Yeah.

So the President said, yeah, Russia agreed to it, but they haven't.

So let's say, I'm not going to stop.

So they just bombed the hell out of it. And then Russia said, We're not going to export any diesel.

So that's only going to up the price of diesel.

So back to what I said earlier, if anybody thinks for a second that Russia is an ally of ours or not an enemy of ours, case in point. They know the President's up for the midterm elections. They know that if the price of diesel is high, his chance of success is lessened. Even though he is a lot friendlier to Russia than Joe Biden, they go out of their way to do everything's negative about to about America. I had the Latvia foreign minister on today.

She was fantastic. And she's got Belarus on one side, a vassal state of Russia and Russia on the other side. And she is spending five percent of their GDP on Military, and they have their own missile defense, and they've been penetrated six times by Russian drones. They shot them all down. And I said, Are you worried?

He said, I'm not really worried about being invaded, but they're always trying to mess with our elections. Number one, number two is they're not gonna I'm not worried about being invaded because they have their hands full in Ukraine. And I said, So, how do you see it? He goes, They're losing 30,000 people a day, but they don't care. They want to reconstitute the Soviet Union.

Now, when I say that, you probably people on the right and left say, Oh, you're crazy. You know, not everybody, but you creo crazy. But if the head of Latvia, the foreign minister of Latvia, says it, They used to be dominated. She says, I grew up in communism. I knew it was like to have no rights, no liberty, and nobody, and going out of your way to make sure it's taken away.

Any glimmer of rights and liberty were taken away immediately. And that's why she says, I can't wrap my head around what's happening here in America with this rise of socialism. It goes to show they don't understand what it is. They fully don't understand what they have and what you guys have, that we have elections and what Ukraine is doing is fighting for everyone. I mean, how many times have I said that?

People say, oh, Zelensky, he's an actor, or Zelensky, we won't have elections, or Zelensky marginalized the church. The answer on the elections, it says in their constitution, when in war, you postpone elections. Number two, when it goes to the Orthodox, it's a Russian Orthodox church, it is basically a spying machine.

So they're not going to sit there and kowtow to it and allow it to infiltrate their society. Russian Orthodox for a reason, and they're totally controlled by Russia, the country that has invaded you. And basically, Ukraine is looking to survive and innovate their way to do it. I'm not sure what we have. But I'm not sure we have enough interceptors to get to them because we have every Arab state wants one, every Gulf state wants one.

I'm not sure what we have in terms of patriots, but it would be good if a country with patriots like Japan and South Korea, who don't need them right now, do go ahead and give that to Ukraine because they're fighting our fight. They will be, when this is all said and done, the strongest army in Europe. Anybody someone's invaded, Poland or Finland. Or France when there's a problem. You're gonna look to call Ukraine.

And they're going to speak today. And I think Zvanci is going to speak with President Trump today, and that's going to be an impactful meeting, I know.

So we'll talk about that, and we'll also talk about what's happening in Iran. I do not understand why we are not helping the Saudi Arabia against the Houthi rebels. Here is my question to Marco Rubio on that very topic, cut one. How surprised are you we have not hit the Houthi rebels who are attacking our ally, Saudi Arabia, and stopping oil from coming out of those? That's a dangerous conflict, obviously, because what it's done is the it's not just the Houthis.

Kitab Hezbollah out of Iraq, which is an Iranian proxy, also fired into Saudi Arabia and it has shut down their main pipeline. That pipeline needs to get restarted. We have a defense agreement with Saudi Arabia. That said, that is a very dangerous and complex conflict.

So the way I understand it is the President's pressuring Saudi Arabia to make amends with the UAE and start forming some type of military alliance. Because we don't have an infinite amount of interceptors ready to go. But I would like to let them know that when you have a defense alliance with us, they will be there to work with you. And we had 100 people on the ground advising them. We're not necessarily taking on the Houthi rebels who contacted us last week, two weeks ago, in Oman and said, Look, we are going to take on the Saudis, but this is from a long-time disagreement.

It has nothing to do with you guys. We won't attack Israel. We won't attack you.

So, the president's got a way. Should I attack them and defend our ally, but open up another front where our guys could get attacked by the Houthis?

So, that's what he's got to worry about. And what he thinks is if he can get these Gulf states to combine against the Houthi rebels, it'll help everyone. Houthis could be wiped out, but nobody wants to get on the ground and fight them because they've got nothing to lose. They're a bunch of gangsters, they're just brutal gangsters. We have marginalized them after 53 days of bombing, and we reopened up that straight ourselves.

That was in 2025. Haven't really had to do much since. I was wondering why they were not getting involved earlier.

Now I know why they weren't getting involved earlier. All right, real quick notice: United States, my new book is coming out October 13th. And I'm going to be not only talking about the six crucial moments that forged the American miracle, I think it's a message you'll like. I think it's a place, it's a book you need to read. But I also am going to be at a few places in Red Bank, New Jersey on the 16th, Westbury, New York on the 17th, Vero Beach on the 25th, and then doing another live United States stage show in Clearwater, Florida on November 7th, Jacksonville, November 8th, St.

Louis, November 21st. 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. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. Hi, everyone. Brian Kilmead here.

Thanks so much for listening. I come to you from 48th and 6th in Midtown Manhattan, which is locked up. Why? Because of the General Assembly. The United Nations has been here since the 50s, 40s, late 40s.

And guess what? That locks everything up. But it's kind of exciting. I got a chance to talk to the Foreign Minister of Latvia today, the Secretary of State. Tomorrow is going to be the First Lady.

Yesterday, the UN Ambassador.

So it's fun because you get to see what's going on, what everyone's thinking. This hour is going to be special, too. Scott Turner doing a fantastic job as HUD Secretary. Found a ton of fraud. He's going to be joining us.

If you talk about something that can turn the economy around, affordable housing would do it. That means at all levels, make it affordable, make the interest rates come down. That will be also an addition. Carl Rove, the former Deputy Chief of Staff for George W. Bush, columnist for the Wall Street Journal, will be with us too.

George W. Bush is putting together a fundraiser. But he's not giving to Ken Paxon. That's interesting. And then we'll do Stuart Varney and I'll do a simulcast.

So let's get to the big three. Number three. We want to start discussing protocols for what are so both sides can agree on what the leading AI dangers are, whether it's uncontrollable agents, whether it's non-state actors. Yep, we'll talk about uncontrollable agents, which we create, by the way. AI regulations and agreements are on the table.

Will China play ball? And if not, should we play on our own? Should we put our own guardrails up? We'll examine all aspects. Number two.

On Monday, Iran targeted two additional oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz as the IRGC ramps up attacks on this critical waterway. With the UN General Assembly this week, international focus remains on the conflict with Iran and the possibility of a diplomatic solution. Iran comes to town, and with war playing the dominant role at the United Nations, and with our economy and the midterms front and center, we discuss our options. Number one. There's a series of meetings he's holding today.

Each one of them could dominate a president's day. He's got to meet with the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the leader of Japan. He's got a plan to sign a new agreement with Denmark over security in Greenland. He has to meet with the leaders of Gulf states who are concerned about the war with Iran. And later tonight, he meets for the first time with the president of Venezuela.

A lot going on. Big speech for President Trump today at the UN after spending Monday with Mayor Mamdani at Gracie Mansion. The message today will be interesting and what we learned from other meetings too. I think the president's going to talk about the strength of America. He's going to talk about how Central and South America have been liberated from autocracies and hopefully from Iran and Russia without mentioning them.

But the president's going to speak about Iran. The reason why he had to act because nobody else in the world was acting when it comes to game, making sure they didn't have a nuclear weapon. He's going to bring that up for sure. He's also trumpet what I think he's going to make official. We have a deal with Greenland.

He's going to sign a new security agreement with Denmark and Greenland itself. We're going to have two military bases, access to rare earth. Any other country who wants in has to check with us first, which is huge. As Secretary of State Marco Rubio brought up today, he said, what happens with these countries, they're allies of ours, and they'll cut a deal with China, and all of a sudden China will build a port for them. Looks like a military base.

And they're wondering, how did this happen? We don't want that to happen with Greenland and Denmark, nowhere to be found. It kind of ignores Denmark, its big landmass, tens of thousands of miles away.

So the president thought, why don't we just buy it from them when they wouldn't do that?

So maybe I'll just take it. And it's led to a pretty big deal. I think a great deal for us, especially if you want the Arctic, which we do. China remains a major backdrop. Trump's upcoming meeting is going to be huge on Thursday, Friday.

So that's why this speech will be great. That's why I don't expect him to come out and call out China for helping with Iran or Russia, because I think he's looking to get a deal there. And if he calls them out, he thinks it'll poison the well for possibly getting a deal. Mike Waltz was with me yesterday. He's the ambassador to the United Nations.

He talks about. Uh the possibility of the president sitting down with the president of Iran.

Now there's downsides to that, but here's the upside cut for it. He's always open to talks. He's always open to diplomacy. He's always open to crafting some kind of peace deal. But the Iranians have to come to the table with good faith, and we have to know that they're actually speaking for the Ayatollah.

We've seen now time after time we come to an agreement, and then they go back to Tehran, and between the IRGC and the civilians and others and the religious clerics, they end up backing away or pulling the rugs out from under us. Yeah, or they just don't have any power. You know, there was one story in the Wall Street Journal that said that the president, after they signed the MOU, they knew it was a deal of the lifetime for them. They said, okay, pass through the strait in 60 days. We're going to, in those 60 days, we're going to come up with a long-term agreement between the nations.

Well, within a few days, they start shooting at the ships again and charging at tolls.

So, of course, the whole thing's off. We shoot back. We put our own blockade back. It's over. The president, Presky, and said, What are you doing?

The Supreme Leader, he called the Supreme Leader and said, I thought you said we should do this deal. He said, I did. He said, Your problem's with the IRGC.

So he called up Faheedi, who runs the IRGC. And the IRGC said, I didn't do that.

So it was just autonomy members of the IRGC deciding they wanted to shoot at these merchant ships because they didn't like the deal. That makes you think, why are we even doing this?

Now even if I am being put on That means that we shouldn't do it. Even if everything I just said was made up by the Iranians. That means we shouldn't do a deal. And if it wasn't made up, if it was 100% true, it means we shouldn't do a deal with them. We should just finish them the best we can.

And we blow up pickaxe, we monitor the other two major sites, and then we continue to restrict what goes in and out. That's what we do. And we get the IDF back involved, and we just start wiping out their leadership again. Here's Scott Besson. On what's next for Iran, CUD 6.

I can't tell you whether it's one week, one month, or six months, but I will tell you that we are pressuring them like never before. And Treasury's sanctions authorities were really emboldened after 9-11. And that's when we were given many of the authorities that we have now. We got five new authorities about a month ago that we've implemented against the Iranian regime, including on aviation, maritime, crypto, gold. On September 23rd, all the Iranian airlines, all the Iranian airlines will be shut down around the world.

Wow. That's this week. We're going to come back and we're going to talk to HUD Secretary Scott Turner in just a moment. Then we've got Carl Rove right after that. And then we do a sample cast with Stuart Varney.

Yours and the Brian Killmeat show: a busy day. We're waiting for the president's address, and I'm sure we'll have a lot of news coming out of that. Don't move. Learning.

Something new every day on the Brian Kill Meat Show. The more you listen, the more you'll know. Hello, it's Brian Killmead. Hey, we are back, 1-866-408-7669. We'll be trying to squeeze some calls in between an interview with Colrobe at 34 after, and then we'll do a SamoCast with Stuart Varney waiting for the President of the United States to speak.

Now it's my privilege to bring in one of his esteemed cabinet members, the Secretary Scott Turner. He's the HUD Secretary, doing the best he can to make housing front and center. Of course, last week he made a lot of news by cracking down on the amount of fraud that we found in and around HUD around this country. Mr. Secretary, welcome back.

Good morning, Brian. Great to be with you, sir. First off, on the fraud that you found out, why was that important for you to hunt this down? And when the President asked the Vice President to do something about it, when did you realize HUD was a place he should go?

Well, absolutely. You know, public housing has already seen through decades, you know, waste, fraud and abuse, but there was no accountability and the blind dollars being turned towards the fraud and abuse, in particular in the Biden administration. And from day one, the President told us, hey, we're going after all of the waste and the fraud through every agency and under his leadership and the vice president. From day one, man, at HUD, we found $1.9 billion of misplaced funds. You know, how do you misplace $2 billion?

And that was really just the beginning of it. And as you said last week in LA, we went after the bad guys who stole over $130 million combined, you know, from the American people. And part of my job, Brian, as the leader of HUD is to be a faithful steward over taxpayer dollars and make sure the money is going to the people it's intended to go to and accomplish those purposes. And that has not been done. But now law and order has been restored, and we're going to be faithful stewards and make sure that American taxpayer dollars are protected.

How will you work with the private sector to try to build some housing? Because it seemed we have a housing short in this country. Absolutely.

Well, you know, we're here on the National Mall today with our innovative housing showcase. And it's all private sector companies that are here, manufactured housing, modular housing, 3D printing. We even have students from local schools here to promote Trades Day to get back into the skilled labor, HVAC, mold, I mean, welding, brickmasons. And so working with the private sector is the key. The federal government is a great convener.

HUD is a great convener of people. But the private sector, that's where all the solutions are. And so I'm encouraged to be here on the National Mall to see all the innovativeness and the ingenuity from the private sector as they talk about, you know, building a manufactured home takes nine weeks, whereas stick house takes almost six months. You know, so you increase the supply, you bring the cost down. And so, yes, sir, the free market and the manufactured housing and those that are in the private sector are the ones that are bringing the great solutions.

Well, when you talk about innovative, what do you mean by innovative? What do you think about, man? We have houses that are out here, marginal houses. And manufactured houses. We have houses that are literally built in a factory and then put on the truck and brought here to the mall or to the home site and built right here on site.

So you save on construction time, you save on construction waste, you save on construction costs. And so when you see that innovation, man, and what the American people are doing, it is a brilliant display of what can be done in our country. And that's why we host this Made in America Freedom 250 showcase so the people of America can see what's being done under President Trump. To increase the housing supply. And what other things are you doing?

I know that. I I know that it was a kind of enlightening for doctor Ben Carson to do this because he grew up in that in public housing, but then he went on to become a world famous surgeon. What about your background led you to this position and actually enlighten you on how bad this problem was?

Well, you know, when I grew up, man, I grew up in a broken home. You know, we didn't have a lot of resources, and I saw the struggle, you know, every day with my mother, in particular, you know, to try to provide, you know, a home and a safe place for my sister and I, my father working two or three jobs, you know, to provide, you know, for his family when they were married. And as I grew up, man, you know, and going to the National Football League, being a pastor, working in a ministry, serving in the first Trump administration, I'm about to be incarcerated opportunity zones. And you see poverty in the ways that I've seen it, you know, not just economic poverty, but familial poverty, you know, family poverty, spiritual poverty. It really, if you have a mindset, you know, and I do as being a Christian, you know, say, man, how can I help other people to be great?

How can I help other people to fulfill their God-given potential? And I'm grateful that this chair that I sit in gives myself and my incredible team that opportunity every day, you know, to work with the public and the private sector, you know, to bring people to help them reach their American dream. Uh So there's a couple of things that I mean you do have a football background and and I see that Uh You know, we have Kaepernick out with his book now that he comes out and says that football is racist. And when you go to the Uh when you go to the the When when you have your tryouts and everybody goes to the Um To get evaluated. That's like that.

I want you to hear this. When did you truly start to have the realization that, hey, this does in this sense remind me of the slave trade?

So in the In the moment, to your point, like you're You're in the space that you like. I'm this close. to realizing my dream of playing in the NFL. He's like, whatever hoops I need to jump through, I've jumped through all of the hoops for years to get to this point. Like, I've put the work in.

Yeah. He's like, this is my interview. For the draft. In that interview That's going to have seven-figure consequences.

So you're like, all right, let me whatever I need to do, let me show up the best way possible, let me prepare. And when you get to the point that it's like Yeah, strip down to your drawers.

Sorry.

Well, why do I need to do this?

So he's talking about the combines. Yeah, he says, you know, everybody. Uh it has to go down and do all these tests. He says it's akin to the slave trade. Is that how you feel?

You know, I didn't know. Get to go to the combine, Brian.

So I haven't experienced that. in the way that he's explaining it. But what I will say Man, the National Football League is a majority of black players. And yes, there's a lot of diversity Uh, in the NFL, but a majority of the players are black. You have white coaches, you have black coaches, you have white players, black players.

And my thing is I listened to I think that was uh was that Ryan Clark and Kaepernick? As I listen to that, man, we can make excuses and use race and pull the race card. But I've always been one not to look at, you know, what has been done, you know, and what, you know, people have against me. I've always been one man, what gifts has God given me, irregardless of my color, my tongue, or my creed? And how can I use those gifts to fulfill the potential that he gave me and to be a blessing in my generation?

you know, and again to the combine. I haven't been to the combine. I haven't experienced the combine, so I can't speak to it, you know, from that manner. But what I will say, pulling the race card and anything like that to me is an excuse and it's a waste of time. Jackson Dart.

Tom Brady. The old one threw the combine. Uh I I I thought it was just one of those things where they just have to find out what their $20 million investment is going to be. But I've never thought about that until his book comes out. How do you feel about the whole wokeness and and the and the fall that Nike's had as they go for the cross dresser Dylan Mulvaney and Kaepernick and all these countercultural figures?

Do you think that's related to the valuation of their company? You know, I bet it is, you know, because people are tired of that, man. We had so much of that during the Biden administration. You know, people that went woke went broke. You know, because there's no principle in it, there's no integrity in it, it's not even realistic.

You know, man, and so yeah, I think it does have something to do with their valuation. You know, the thing about it, man, a lot of people buy Nike, a lot of people buy different kind of products. And whatever that company may be, the American people don't want to deal with propaganda and politics as it pertains to business and things they're investing in. And so, yeah, I think it probably does have a lot to do with their evaluation. Obviously, I'm not that close to the situation.

I haven't looked at the numbers, where they were, you know, where they are. But, yeah, it probably does have something to do with it. When you have your conversations with the President of the United States and when he gives you your mission statement for your job, knowing that the midterm is going to matter, housing has a lot to do with midterms. Can you afford a house? If you could answer that question positively, that's going to have a lot to do with your party staying in power.

What responsibility do you feel you have? Absolutely.

You know, I'm the Secretary of Hunt. And the President entrusted me to run this agency with our team. Number one, to provide for the most vulnerable people in our country. HUD is not a home builder. Obviously, a lot of people don't know that.

We provide vouchers for those around our country. When Section 8 vouchers, housing vouchers, work on public housing authorities. But we also have been deregulating burdensome red tape and bureaucratic red tape. To unleash, you know, builders to build and developers to develop. We just put out our regulatory best practices report for local and state governments so that they can see a culmination of research, those things that have been done around the country as it pertains to zoning, as it pertains to impact fees, as it pertains to speed to market, cut the cost down to build, make more land available, and build houses quicker so we can play a big role in that.

And the president is very, very serious about making homes affordable for the American people. Secretary Scott Turner, congratulations on the sixth annual housing showcase at the National Mall. When we come back, call Rogue. President Spinoza to UN will have to. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it.

You're with Brian Kilmead. We are back in about 15 minutes. We're going to be doing a simulcast on FBN, and right now the President of the United States is talking to Jesse, the United Nations General Assembly, at which time I thought his most poignant moment was. Look, we get here for a short period of time. A lot of people identify problems, very few act on it.

I've acted on our problems. I've tried to pursue peace instead of talking about peace. I try to go after our problems, our enemies, rather than just talk about it. And he of course went right to His peace deals that he's cut, and the confrontation he now has with Iran. We just don't know how that's going to end.

Let's bring in Carl Rowe, former deputy chief of staff for Bush. We have a Wall Street Journal columnist, Fox News contributor, and with us right now. Carl, I'm sure you're watching the address like I'm watching the address. How do you think it's going over?

Well, it's a hard audience to speak to because, you know, a lot of our adversaries are in there, and a lot of people who, you know, are not pulling for success. But so far, so good. I'd like a little bit more about what it is we want to do and less about self-congratulations, but that's just me. Right. So we are talking about confronting the issues, and it's going to be front and center.

The President's going to meet with Gulf States on the sideline, with Del C Rodriguez of Venezuela on the sideline, with the Japanese leader on the sideline, and maybe with the Iranian President on the sideline. First off, what's his message to the Gulf states? Yeah. Well, I think, first of all, he wants to hear from them. He ought to want to hear from them because they are right there on the front line.

And so their counsel is going to be important. And then, second of all, he must, I think, encourage them to be thinking about the long ball game. They're worried about their economies in the short run. He's got to be worried about and remind them that they need to be worried about the economic and political health of their region. We don't want to return to this.

We want to get this thing solved. We want the free transit of the Strait of Hormuz. And we want Iran to become a practical neighbor, not a threatening bully. Right. There is a push for the U.S.

to get Saudi Arabia and UAE together and maybe have a joint effort against the Houthi rebels. In the region. And I wonder what you thought about that.

Well We've tried this before. We bombed them for, you know, what was it, 80 or 90 days or 50 or 60 days in the past, and I'm not certain how good it was. I think our focus ought to be to constricting the sources of money and munitions and weapons to the Houthis. And then let's hear the UAE and the Saudis out and see if they have a practical plan on how to contain the Houthis. The Houthis are on the march, though, and the people who are most at risk are the Saudis.

The Houthis have moved to the east and taken over a vital port on the Red Sea and vital islands that would allow them to interdict shipping in this vital lane. What would you do? Would you just help the Saudis militarily?

Well, let's see what they want. Let's see what they do. We are helping them. We give them military aid. We sell things to them.

We're advanced fighters, for example. What do they need? What plan do they have? This has got to be one where we've got to work with them, but they've got to start by having an idea of what they think is practical. To restrict the ability of the Houthis to strike both the UAE and the Saudis.

All right.

So, with Iran's president there in attendance, knowing his role in the government, not like a typical president, would you speak to him?

Well, you know, if there's something that can, first of all, you need to have people talking to his people to see if there's anything constructive. What would be terrible is for the president to meet with them and not be able to have a deliverable. If it looks like that, you know, he's just been elevated to president of Iran and not gotten anything out of the deal, that's not helpful for the long haul. What we ought to be saying behind the scenes to the Iranians is we need to come to an agreement about concrete steps that can reduce tensions in the region and restore its economic viability. And it starts with you.

Here's what we want and see what they say and what they want. But the problem is, how much power does he have?

So even if he says, yeah, you know what? That makes sense. This looks like a good deal. Shake my hand. The Supreme Leader's in a basement somewhere.

The IRGC is running its own game. That's the challenge. Yeah. Look, I'm not adverse to saying, well, you have a good idea there, Mr. President.

Can you deliver on it? And make the Iranian President be the fall guy. If he says something that is sensible and reasonable and will help move the ball forward, accept it, announce it and hold him to it. All right, so let's talk about what's happening in Texas. I know George W.

Bush is having a fundraiser, it looks like, with John Cornyn over in Texas, but one beneficiary will not be Ken Paxson.

Well the Look, the fundraiser was Monday night, and the former president had been asked by a variety of Republican Senate candidates if he would appear at a fundraiser for him, and he agreed.

Some of them, like Dan Sullivan, served in his administration.

Some of them, like John Sununu, served in the Congress while he was there. And so, yes, he was glad to appear on their behalf. Let me just say, for the last 10 years, Ken Paxton has been saying the era of George W. Bush is over.

So he's made it clear what he thinks of the former president. And, you know, if he wanted to be included, he should have asked to be included. But I doubt that he wanted to be included because he's been saying that for a decade. And as you say, the chickens come home to roost, I guess. If you disrespect the former president, you shouldn't expect him to be the first person to volunteer to help you raise money for your campaign.

That's a good point. I look at Minnesota and I look at New Hampshire, and I say that's something that six months ago people weren't talking about. I think those two both can flip. Does Carl Rove think that? Absolutely.

I met Michelle Tafoya at the fundraiser in Dallas for the first time. Very impressive. Look, we have two different dynamics going on in these races, and it's interesting. These Senate races do tend to be more individualistic.

So in Minnesota, you have Lieutenant Governor Flanagan, who is far left and tied in intimately with all the scandals and all the fraud involved in taking government money and lining the pockets mostly of Somalia entrepreneurs. And she's tied into that.

So that's strike number one. Strike number two is she's a loon. I mean, this is a woman who opened the Democratic National Committee meeting by having a land, whatever it is, prayer where you apologize for having a meeting in a building that 600 years ago was occupied by an Indian tribe. Tefoya is outsider. She's not a politician.

She's a sports figure. She's articulate. She's smart. But she's an outsider.

So people say, you know what? I'm tired of the same old, same old. I'm the lieutenant governor. Give her a promotion. Forget it.

But that's a very interesting person out there. And the fact that she can talk, you know, sports with some farmer in outstate Minnesota is really positive.

So I think she's got a real shot. We now have four polls that show that a race. And either her tide or ahead. And I think that's a real race. Sununu in New Hampshire.

Look, he's running a terrific campaign. And people know in that state what Sununu means. His father was a terrific governor of the state. His brother was governor for six years and widely respected. He served in the House.

He was the youngest member of the U.S. Senate when he was elected in 2002. And people say, you know, Sununu, what that means is Flinty, independent, New Hampshire will do the right thing.

So both of these are races. Right. Why is El Saeed holding on to a one or two point lead? And what should Rogers be doing?

Well, I think Rogers is running a good campaign. And I think they're right. Look, Michigan has not elected a Republican senator since 1994. And I think there are a bunch of people who say, you know what, I'm a nominal Democrat, but I'm going to be going for Rogers. But I'm not going to tell that to somebody who calls me on an anonymous name, calls me on the phone and asks who I'm for.

So you have El Saeed with the black vote for a Democrat really hurting.

So that's why he has Kamala Harris out on the stump. Does she do it for the black vote? I doubt it, but also that gives Rogers a chance. Rogers can say: well, here's what he thought of her.

So, does he still think? Because he said some very harsh things about her and criticized her from the left.

So, throw those things back in there and remind people how negative he was and make them the substantive comments that go to the heart of the fact that he is a left-winger.

So, when it comes to Hassan Piker, El Saeed can't shake this guy. And last week, when he does his interviews, he comes out and says, We are worse than al-Qaeda as a terrorist state. Here's what Abdul Sayyid, how he handles it, Cut 18. I would like to be talking about the things that matter to Michiganders, which is gas and groceries and the ability to see a doctor. I do understand that people like to make this race about a streamer in California.

It's a comfortable thing for somebody like Mike Rogers to have to talk about a streamer in California because he does not want to talk about the issues that Michiganders are facing, whether that's the insane price of gas or the price of groceries because of the Iran war, or it's the fact that we're having to pay so much more to lose our jobs because of the tariffs. So y your thoughts about the the constant jog, never really addressing. Yeah, I'd say, you know what? If I were him, I'd duck too. He thought this guy, the streamer from California, was so important to his campaign.

He asked him to campaign with him on the eve of the election, the primary election. He wanted to be side by side with a guy who said America deserved 9-11. Take everything that Hassan Piker has said in the past, and even the things he said on that day before the primary, and throw it right back in Al Saeed's face and say, What a hypocrite. He thought this was the guy that, when he came down the final stretch, wanted by his side, and now he's running like a scared mule away from him. I would be too.

But he is responsible. For associating himself with this man. And once he gets elected, if he were to get elected, we know exactly what he'd do. He'd be associating with him again. Exactly.

They'd be running together. Carl Rove, thanks so much. I know that if I got elected, you and I would be hanging out, but not until then. Varney and Company, next.

Now, the Brian Kilmead Show joins Fox Business's Varney and Company with Stuart Varney live on your radio and on Fox Business. Here's Brian Kilmead. All right, I'm anxious to get started. Of course, the President of the United States is giving a pretty effective speech at the UN. He is going through some of where he thinks the America is at, also the action we've taken, going over Venezuela, Iran, the ongoing battle, and how it's going to end, but also with the same.

Pride he always brings to the red, white and blue, and you see his delegation there. You see Jameson Greer, you see Susie Wiles, you see the UN Ambassador Michael Waltz. And then you see the first lady there as well.

So let's listen in. Here's Stuart Varney. Sure. 10:51 Eastern Time, that means it's Kill Me Time, and here he is. Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Saeed claims he's a capitalist, not a socialist.

He makes the case why he supports taxing the rich. Just listen to this. I think it is time for us to realize. That our country was its most prosperous. When we were willing To tap.

Taxed folks who had won at the game of capitalism. to invest so that everybody else could play the game of capitalism. And You know, a lot of people like to call me a socialist. I'm actually not a socialist. I'm a capitalist.

We don't live in capitalism. We live in Corporate socialism.

So, if you're a corporation, you can buy a politician to get that politician to rig the system. for you so that you make more money and you exile every other market in which you compete. Medicare for Everyone is quite flat-out socialized medicine. That's socialism, it's not capitalism, he should understand that. Stuart, I would never ever, within your presence, start talking about business or capitalism because you're the expert.

But a couple of things have come to mind. He's got two programs. He wants to tax billionaires. And uh a healthcare uh Medicare for all. Medicare for all does not work.

It alienates all seniors. It'll be $4.5 trillion. We make about $7 trillion a year. Number two is Hakeem Jeffreys is not for it, Schumer is not for it. Most people are not for it, including doctors, and you have to supplement it on top of that.

So it's a dumb statement from a guy that's got a PhD and has got a medical degree. He doesn't practice, but he does have that high degree.

So, why he's allowed to get away with that? I'm not sure. No one ever calls him out on that. Do the math. Give me a second and do the math and tell me why that works because nobody's happy with Medicare for All.

Seniors have to get a supplement, and seniors don't want to go to the back of the line, so that doesn't work. His other thing about taxing billionaires, you know, the top 10% pay 70% of the entire country's taxes.

So you want to take more money away from them. They're the problem.

So they don't grow any more businesses. You don't have any more hiring practices. You can't get people into the workforce. It makes absolutely no sense. Yes, corporations do give.

And if there was some different Setups where corporations could give less, that's one thing. But number two is corporations give. They gave to Teddy Roosevelt too, they gave to Reagan too, they give to Trump. They don't get anything they want. Look at Elon Musk, for example.

Do you think that he was happy that subsidies went away on electric cars? Do you think Elon Musk was happy that almost everything that he asked for he didn't get? He stormed out of the White House, and the guy practically lived with the President of the United States and ran one of the most successful companies in the country. Yes, you have some influence, you get your seat at the table, that's the way it works. Maybe overnight with Bill Clinton in the Lincoln bedroom.

That doesn't mean capitalism isn't out there. Tell the dry cleaner working today that capitalism out there, the deli worker that the deli owner out there, that capitalism isn't out there. Tell him that corporations are the thing to fuel our country. I think he does no idea how to run a business. All right, moving on, I've got one more for you.

young voters, more young voters, now get their political news from social media instead of traditional news outlooks. Brian, is that why so many Democrats are now turning to influencers to help in the midterms?

So this is interesting.

So Democrats are going for influencers and you got this Flanagan over in Minnesota and you have other TikTokers running for governor and Senate seat for TikTok.

Okay. If you want younger people and you want to get their attention, you choose influencers. And the Democrats feel as though they're getting people's attention. But when you get their attention, do you look like a senator? Have you given away your dignity for a chance at winning over a 19-year-old?

Because people want to make this adjacent or akin to when Republicans found the podcast world of Joe Rogan and others, and they went out and they sat down for an hour and a half in non-traditional political interviews. But that's different. Hey, I'm going to reveal my personality with somebody that's not really knee-deep in politics. That's not going to say, what is my plan for what is my new medical plan? How am I going to streamline the Pentagon?

They sat down and revealed their personality on these different podcasts. And that was good if you have a good personality.

So that's different than going on pretending to be cool on a TikTok. Yes, it sure is. There's a difference there. Out of time, unfortunately. Good stuff.

We'll see you again real soon. Thanks so much.

Thanks, Ray. Still ahead on this. The president now is talking about Ukraine, and he's saying one thing about Ukraine is they fought like warriors, but he's saying go easy on the energy sector.

Well, the energy sector literally fueling the Russian machine. The machine that invaded them. And the reason, by the way, and by the way, the applause right now for the First Lady of the United States who's gone out of his way, who's gone out of her way to try to convince Vladimir Putin to release some of the Ukrainian children he kidnapped and tried to convert and give to Russian families, she's gotten some of them back, and the President's recognizing her now. She's got a big smile on her face, too.

So, but Ukraine just got word that they're off the hook because the Russians said, regardless, we're no longer exporting. We are no longer exporting. Uh diesel fuel.

So it's not great for the price of diesel. That's probably why the market's down 180 points. It was in the green all day. And also two more ships have been merchant ships have been hitting the Strait of Hormuse.

So not a great combination there overall. But the President of the United States knows it's going to be ongoing. He says in the next couple of days, we're going to decide if we're going to go all in to finish him off. I will say there's delegations and Caldwell's been all over the Middle East. He's the one running this operation.

He's been in Saudi Arabia, been over in Israel. And if we are going to go ahead and go in, we are going to go ahead and with Israel. We have to, which will open up them to getting hit.

Now, some conspiracy theorists would say that helps Netanyahu. He's got an election coming up in October. If we're back to war, it helps him. They don't want to make a change. I don't think the president could give two hoots about Netanyahu's election future.

I think they like each other to a degree, but I think that right now they're having trouble dealing with each other. I don't think the president really cares who wins the next election to the point where if it helps or hurts him, it doesn't even figure in. But people is going to have a conspiracy theory regardless. All right, you listen to the brain kill me, Choe. Keep it here.

From Hia Top Fox News Headquarters. Sit in. York City. seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmead.

Uh Hi one, Brian Kilmead here. Thanks so much for listening. This is the Brian Kilmead Show. We have the President of the United States just concluded his remarks at the UN. We'll bring back some of those cuts.

General Assembly meeting is just one of the events he's going to have today. He's got multiple meetings, all impactful. And we also have this hour Joe Gruders, the RNC chair at the bottom of the hour, and the great Harry Cole, the son editor-at-large, who decided to be used his at-large title and come from D.C. all the way to New York City. Harry, welcome.

Thanks for having me.

So what do you think of the President's speech?

Well, I mean, it's on good behavior, right? If you compare it to last year's speech, which was, you know, he was hectoring the UN, saying they were, you know, openly, you know, assisting nations open borders around the world. He was negging on the interior. He said, you know, the floor was cheap, the marble was rubbish. Compared to that, it was far more statesmanlike speech.

I think he's one eye on the midterms, I suspect, sort of rising above his usual, you know, style of sticking it to them. But, you know, so he hit home on, you know, some of the things he delivered. But that Iran question still lingering over him. Right. Look, he says, I'm somebody, he goes, I don't just name problems, I address problems.

One thing about the president, he's going to go down in history saying, okay, you got a problem in Rwanda. What's the problem? Let's try to fix it. What's the problem? You know, he kind of created a problem in Ireland.

Let's just make it one Ireland. UK probably love that. But then when it comes to Iran, you've been a problem.

So let's deal with it. You don't want to talk?

Okay, we're going to bomb out your nuclear facilities. You still don't want to talk? We're going to take another shot. And that's where we're at right now. And that's what the meeting with the Gulf states this afternoon is going to mean so much.

And I talked to Marco Rubio, and we might want to pull this cut about NATO. And you know, Marco Rubio is the statesman, not only in title, but in life. And I said, how disappointed are you on the NATO's done nothing? Nothing.

Now I know you were ticked off the way it started. You didn't get your normal briefing and there was no trumpets before it started. But since then, why is it not in your interest to play a role?

Well, I thought the point Rubio made to you this morning was spot on when she said, What is the point of being in America and being in NATO if we're not going to be able to use our aid, if you're not going to help us, if you're not going to use up, let us use these supposedly shared bases in Diego Garcia, in the Indian Ocean, on the British mainland, in Germany? If you're just going to, the one time you actually want to use them, why are we picking up the tap for this? And I thought, you know, as ever with Rubio, he made it in a very elegant way. But you're so right about Trump as well in the fact that the UN is a talking shop. What does it do?

It sends strongly worded letters, it writes reports, it wrings its hands at hours of needs. And, you know, fair play to the President standing up and going, well, you know what, I have actually done stuff. Rather than just moping and moaning and spending 47 years saying how terrible Iran is. Or that NATO's not paying their fair share.

Okay, no, now they are. Not all of them. Not all of them. Certainly not all of them. But it's better than where it was.

Look at Germany. Just take Germany, for example. They have gone on a massive rearmament after 30 years. And for obvious reasons, they were a bit cautious at the beginning, at the end of the last century, perhaps of rearmament. But look where they've gone now.

They were not pulling their weight on NATO. But then you've still got problems like the Spanish, who are just refusing to play ball on those.

So. Is it true that Europe's a little nervous about the German arms build-up? They don't have a great reputation over the last 150 years. I like it.

Well, listen, I like people playing their way. Look at Angela Merkel. She was heralded as this great stateswoman, the greatest European leader of her generation. What did she do? She let in a million Syrians.

She opened a gas pipeline with Putin, and she let the German armed forces train with broomsticks rather than weapons. And compared to where Germany, compared to where they were even 10 years ago, I welcome it.

So Harry, people think you're kidding with the broomsticks. No, no, no, no, no, there's a real thing. This is what I'm talking about. Was you just named now when Engler Merkel was the statesman, the senior statesman, Barack Obama likes him, and they get along, right? And they were in a rowing boo at one point, were they together?

But long term, look what's happening. And I say this. This is the whole thing with Trump. We're not seeing it yet because we're in the middle of it. But at some point, People are gonna go, Wow.

You know, we had Central and South America who was being heavily introduced by China and Russia. We were just letting it go, right? Cuba was the problem since I was before I was born. All I heard about the way Cuba could be, right? Fidel Castro.

Cuba's going to fall in the next year or two. It's just been strangled right now because until they can put some type of democracy in.

So the Venezuela situation, which was a real menace to go back to Bush, George W. Bush's administration, and that's now addressed.

Now you have NATO paying their fair share, and Russia's helped. Russia's helped with that because they've now alerted us to the legitimate problem. And now in the Middle East, from the Abraham Accords to addressing the one planter's wart in the middle, and that is Iran. I think that if you could take a step back, you're beginning to see somebody who will be looked at better in the rearview mirror than they are when you don't have to use a mirror. Yeah, I think the table has been flipped, right?

And it's in the air still. And it's going to land at some point. But as you say, the way the geopolitical world Yeah. All signs look that you know it is going to be better. And just in the Gulf, as you say, who would have thought even five years ago, ten years ago, you'd have Gulf states basically on the same side as Israel?

You know, you'd be laughed at if you'd said that fifteen years ago. And people don't like Donald Trump's style, right? They don't like being hectored and lectured, but sometimes someone's got to be the boy in the Emperor's new clothes who points the finger and says the unpopular thing, right? It's great for him. And he revels.

It's great for our business, yeah. He revels in that sometimes, he revels in that role. I mean, you know, there's never a day where he doesn't commit news, even if sometimes the news he commits is about the news. It is a remarkable. I don't think we realize that quite how much has shifted.

As you say, it's still in flux. And you're going to need a little bit of hindsight and you're going to need a little bit of rearview mirror to look at it. But maybe live in exciting times.

So, yeah, and how the Iran war and If something happens in the next 40 days, we see Tehran's capital being stormed. That would be one thing. I want you to hear a little of what he mentioned about the number one issue, and that is munitions when it comes to this war. The cowards and traders would love to say the United States is low on munitions, but that's not true. We have more munitions than we could ever possibly even think of using, and we're building them at levels that we have never done before.

We are adding to our stockpiles faster than we have ever been able to do before. Top of the line stuff. In addition, in the very near future, massive munition plants will be opening. There are 18 of them being built by the greatest defense companies in the world right now. Eighteen under construction.

Some of them very quickly will be completed. They're almost there. And that rapid construction will be leading to very rapid deployment of missiles of every type and ammunition of every type, and we'll be able to supply our allies at a much faster rate than we're doing right now. Your thoughts. I mean, obviously, the the the support given to Ukraine plus Iran, plus the fact is that the warfare is changing in such a remarkably rapid pace But actually this sort of debate about stocks and munitions, I think, actually sort of is actually a bit of a sideshow to the fact that actually some of the lessons we're learning from Iran and the lessons we're learning from Ukraine is actually these multi-million pound doll dollar sorry, I'm slipping into the old country there.

These multi-million pound dollar um armaments can be you know taken out by drones that cost thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of dollars. Actually, we need to have a far more broad conversation about what modern warfare really looks like in the battlefield. And we could see that in Ukraine, and the fact that actually the technology is changing and moving so fast that I think we're having a debate about the speed and speed of munitions that is completely out of date. And speaking to experts and sort of strategists and war people that do war as business, they're saying when you talk about oh, we don't have this number of X number of ship defending missiles or this X number of interceptors. In a war with China, none of that will actually matter.

This is going to be taking place on a level, on a level in the structure. On the developing space. Yeah, exactly.

So, actually, you know, we are sort of slightly stuck in the past when the speed of modern warfare has sped up so quickly that actually this debate, I think, is a bit of a sideshow.

So, let's talk about Andy Burnham, your new prime minister. Yes. Wow. They're going to meet today. I'll tell you one thing.

I was impressed with his speech. He carried it live. And the fact that he was able to, you know, Tony Boyer was a great speaker. Yeah. And, you know, and so was Cameron.

I thought Cameron was okay, but I don't know about the last guy I was totally unimpressed with. But this one, it's hard to keep up with your Prime Minister's.

Well, this is the sixth Prime Minister Donald Trump would have met as a president. But you mentioned the first thing he did is sanction Israel in the West First. Yeah, that was his first sort of big foreign policy move. Look, the problem with Kierstarma was, you know, people say he was a good guy, but he was boring, he was dull, he was uncharismatic, he was a tedious kind of left-wing lawyer who wasn't really suited to be a politician. Andy Burnham is a much more political guy, right?

He is much more presentable. But is there anything behind the TikTok account, right? He's there strumming his guitar in Ukraine, and he's kind of cool and hip, and he wears trainers and he likes soccer, and he's kind of down with the kids, and he likes music, and he's got a big following on social media. But really, what is there beyond that, beyond the presentation, is actually a bit of an enigma. Every policy he's ever had is shifted on it.

When Tony Blair was in power, he was a Blairite. He was a big old centrist.

Now he's shifting further and further to the left because he's. Thinks there's an electoral advantage there. The problem that the left have in the United Kingdom is they're deeply split between the Greens, who are essentially communists. You have an Islamist bloc vote now that is voting on single issues like Gaza. And so for a guy who's trying to shore up the left-wing position in the UK, sanctioning Israel was a no-brainer.

Does he actually believe it? We don't know. Where does he stand on immigration?

Well, he says he understands. And he cares. And he understands. He's warm. He understands that people in the north of England are concerned about it.

Is he going to do anything about it? We haven't seen that yet. He comes from a far more open borders tradition, a sort of left-wing intellectual position that finds the whole debate about immigration quite icky, if that makes sense. He doesn't want to talk about it. He wants to be the nice guy.

But actually, the British public want to talk about it, and that's going to be one of his biggest weaknesses. And I suspect Donald Trump has made very clear his views on British immigration, European immigration. I suspect that will be a flashpoint. I've got to ask you, too, about Harry. The other Harry.

Megan, not Harry you, but they come back. Yeah. They quickly pulled their kids out of school because they said they lost their privacy. What have you found out is behind this retrenchment in Britain? It's bizarre, isn't it?

It kind of came out of nowhere in the fact that they made such a big song and dance about leaving, right? And they literally burnt down the house on the way out. They tore down the royal family. They made accusations of racism. They kind of ruined, they made the last years of the late Queen's life really kind of uncomfortable by having this very public schism played out in Spotify podcasts and Netflix series and books.

And you kind of think if they come back now with their tail between their legs because they've run out of celebrity parties to go to in LA, then kind of what was the point of it all? And the British public will always remember Harry as that little boy who was walking behind his mother's funeral procession. What was he, nine, eight or nine at the time? And there'll always be a little bit of sympathy and just remembering that. But they're pushing the British public's patience.

Diana's brother wrote a book. Yeah. And it basically said to retract some of his people. And said the king, one of the things he said about the king was not happy when Diana died.

Well, yeah. And anyone that saw, you know, King Charles, you know, whatever their thoughts of their marriage, whatever mistakes were made, you saw the. grief etched on his face. He flew to Paris to reclaim his ex-wife's Body and escort it home. That wasn't a man who was cock a hoop.

And you just think it just doesn't pass the sniff test. You know, uh you sit on that for thirty years and you don't see it. And he's gone, you know, he's got a book to sell, right?

So he's uh it's gone down very badly. He he thought I think he thought his reaction, the response from the public and the and actually the you know the people who put their hands in their pocket and buy the books, I hear it hasn't gone so it hasn't been flying off the shelves. It's gone down very badly. And actually the king the king has been unpopular in a long time he was waiting for the job he he has now. But I don't think anyone thinks he's doing a bad job now.

And don't forget, he is suffering from cancer. He's still pulling a hell of a shift. And then to use that word, that C word, there's a cancer at the heart of the British establishment. You're going, yeah, there actually is. The guy's getting radiotherapy for it at the moment.

And last thing, you know, we're caught up. I know you live here now, but you you work for the sun. And I know we're all caught up in the AI race. He people talk about. China and and the US.

How does the UK feel about this? Because the President has just renamed artificial intelligence. Listen. The United States also totally rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme to control for the artificial intelligence being spoken of so much now, hereinafter officially called super intelligence, changing the name, in that the use of the word artificial makes intelligence fake. It makes it sound fake, and it is not fake.

It's actually amazing. But we have to be careful. In fact, it is exactly the opposite of what it purports. From this point forward, all of United States documents and hopefully the world's will be changed to use the much more accurate term, super, as opposed to artificial.

So it's super intelligent.

So he's uh he's changed the marketing. Luck with the uh Gulf of America, frankly, than uh super intelligent.

So what do you thought? What is what are the does Britain care about this? Yeah, they're having a similar debate that that that's kind of happening in the in the US, right? That is there genuinely there's these dangers? And I think there are, but are they being overplayed by politicians who are desperate, like the Democrats here, to latch on to a political cause that they can use to beat up the current administration or beat up the current oligarchy that they see controlling all of these tech firms?

How much of it is actually being played out? I think for countries like Britain, the far more interesting debate and the far more realistic threat is a sovereignty issue in the fact that actually a lot of these firms are either Chinese or American. And actually, we've seen it recently with Anthropic, where the president, through a direct order, can essentially cut off international action. access to these to these to these platforms, to these to these models. That's a very dangerous place for a country, once great power, now middling power that Britain is, frankly, if you admit it, is a very dangerous place to be.

So they're trying to get themselves into the debate and into the AI world. We've you know, with people basically accept that Britain is about th the third player. And so AI safety, I think, is a sort of way for Britain to sort of insert its way into this global race. And so things like the British AI Safety Institute, which was set up by the previous government, can play a really important role.

So there is a role for Britain, but I just think the all the scare stories are I hear you. Harry Coyle, always great. He's editor-at-large of the Sun, and I'm glad you landed here. Back in a moment. From breaking news to big name guests, Brian brings you insight you won't hear anywhere else.

Hey, we are back. And at the top of the album, I'm going to do our number. That'll be great. And of course, I got to remind you, United States, my brand new book is coming out, The Six Crucial Moments that Forge the American Miracle. I think I made it an understandable read.

You'll understand these six moments. After doing 58, 68, What Made America Greats, writing seven history books. It's my seventh. I really got an understanding of where we came from coming up on year 250. And I knocked it down to these great moments that made would make or break our country.

And I think you'll enjoy the reasons why I put them in there and as you see how they all laid out to form our country and how unlikely this superpower was to emerge the way we did. It's just absolutely amazing. Things had to break our way and they did. It had a lot to do with our founding fathers and their tremendous vision. But I think in many ways we've exceeded their vision about what we've been able to accomplish around the world.

I mean, not many people would ever see Britain and France marginalized like this. China emerging like they did, but for us, it's been pretty consistent now since World War II. And it's been pretty amazing. And the foundation was laid hundreds of years before at Uniting the States. You can go pre-order it now out on October 13th.

If you want to see me on stage bring history to life, just go to BrianKillme.com. You'll see all my dates there from Westbury to Red Bank, New Jersey, Westbury, Long Island, that is, from Clearwater to Jacksonville to St. Louis. The fastest three hours in radio. Your with Brian.

Kill mead. I would be Be not honest if I didn't say I was highly bullish on the Democratic chances. Uh come November, but I think they're fine. I think they're good. I mean I think we'll d uh we do, but hist history is with us and then we we go right into 28.

So that is James Carville, who thinks optimistically right now about his party and having success. Joe Gruders feels differently, RNC chair, but knows with the war going on right now and made the economic things challenging. But the President just mentioned Joe in his speech. He goes, a lot of presidents and a lot of leaders look at problems and evaluate them. I take action on them in my time here.

And he's taking action when it comes to peace and play far off places like Rwanda and war when it comes to places like Iran. Listen, what the President showed today with his speech is that he believes in America first. He's putting America front and center, and he's letting the world know exactly what we're doing. I think he's been, you know, ever since he came back into the Presidency, he's been trying to, and he said he's not taking time for granted. He's going to continue to push America first policies and make sure that we're all better off.

Don't waste the time that you have, make a difference. And that's what he's doing across the board. The fact that he got this Greenland deal done, the future of our country and the defense of it and the natural minerals that can come out of that deal is an absolute win. People should be talking about it a lot more. But I'm very thankful to have him as our president.

So, right now, do you believe both chambers are in play? I think, listen, everything's in play because it's a midterm. It's our job. This comes down to turnout. We have to rally the base.

We have to make sure the Republicans come home to the team. We have to consolidate support. I think we do that by leading off with the President of the United States. I think he is the one person that could do that. He proved he could do it three times.

And that's why we're going to do all these rallies. That's why we're going to go out and do everything else with him. He is the leader of our party. He's the leader of our country. I think the messaging is there for us to show.

And I think we can make the contrast that the other side fundamentally want to change our country. They want to have an open southern border. They want tens of millions of illegals to come back in. They want to give them all free health care. They want to tax you more for it.

And then they want to put boys and girls in locker rooms. But at the end of the day, look at these DSA candidates across the country. The reason why we're in these races is because we went out and recruited candidates that can win, candidates that are sane, and on. The left, they've nominated a lot of crazy whackadoo radical leftists. And as a result, that's what gives us the path.

And by the way, we're sitting on more money than we've ever had in the history of the country and the history of our party. And for the first time in modern politics, the Republican Party will outspend the Democrats overall. Trevor Burrus: So, as I look right now at the Senate, Sherrod Brown with the three-point lead over Senator Houston, the sitting center, appointed there when J.D. Vance became vice president.

Now, the money starts flowing in as of really this week, start running ads against Brown. And then, same thing, which is Ken Paxson on the other side. First, Tell, bring me to Ohio, a red state for the last 20 years.

Well, here's a case where it's like North Carolina, where you have a popular former elected official, Democrat, that came out. And of course, we face the midterm headwinds that you would expect in a midterm election. And Houston has been saddled with this data center, stuff that people it's easy to be against data centers. And I think the rabbit. Rouslers have basically made it so toxic that you can't be for it.

But the president's right from the standpoint, this can be a win-win for everybody. It should be local control, and certainly the public shouldn't, it should not come at the cost at the public. But at the end of the day, yes. But that's what they're running. They're saying he's data center guy.

Data center guy all the way.

Now, what we've done is, yes, we've held back a lot of our funding.

So in Ohio and Texas, the Democrats may have already spent $20, $30, $40, $50 million in each of those states.

Well, we've been waiting for this midterm convention, and now we're about to fire the absolute missiles. We are going to use our resources wisely, effectively. And now, with the coordinated campaign limits in place, we're in a phenomenal position to utilize these resources to go out there and help our candidates get their message out and really show the voters exactly who the Democrats are. Believe them when they say they want to change the way you live and they want to change the way they live. Way they want America to be.

There's no such thing as some communism utopia that Beijing or Havana or Moscow. The fact that these guys think that this is a good idea shows you how far off they are. And people are going to reject this extremism. We're going to win. Why are we having success with Bernie Moreno against the sitting Senator Brown and not having success so far with your sitting Senator?

Well, I go back and I say that Moreno is a phenomenal retail politician, basically. I mean, he's dynamic. Houstead is, you know, has not been on the ballot statewide in a long time, I would say, is more of a policy wonk. But listen, he's getting out there. I've seen him.

A dramatic improvement of his ability to communicate with the masses. And at the end of the day, Ohio is still a Republican state, and I think that they will reject the radical left agenda and they will come back home.

Well, then they do know him well.

So it's a matter of further defining. The other thing would be L Sayed with all his weaknesses in Hassan Piker, and yesterday, too, it's still trying to fend off Hassan Piker's horrible interviews last week when he said, well, America's worse than Al-Qaeda. Here's what he said, CUD 18, when asked on CNN of all places. I would like to be talking about the things that matter to Michiganders, which is gas and groceries and the ability to see a doctor. I do understand that people like to make this race about a streamer in California.

It's a comfortable thing for somebody like Mike Rogers to have to talk about a streamer in California because he does not want to talk about the issues that Michiganders are facing, whether that's the insane price of gas or the price of groceries because of the Iran war.

So more going to go on like this every time asked about the people you hang out with and your past comments have not been. Like in football and fireworks.

Well, listen, the guy's been supporting Piker for a long time, but this is who El Saeed is. He is a radical leftist, and he has no business being anywhere near D.C. I always go back to the 9-11 statement that Mike Rogers would be the guy running in and trying to save people, and El Saeed would be the guy chairing the terrorist on. I mean, we have this is the fact that he's up in the polls right now should, I mean, what is happening in Michigan? And what are people thinking?

And he's up two points. Yeah, and we have to let people know that we are doing everything humanly possible to address the affordability issue and that we are going to make things better. This president's been working around the clock on behalf of the American worker, and he wants everybody to achieve that American dream.

So, Joe Cruz, Joe, can you also give me an idea of Mike Rogers came out, and you know, he has got Select Intelligence Committee over in the House. He's FBI military. But he came out yesterday and said the President has to end this war. Kind of sounded a little bit like a Democrat.

Well, listen, I think everybody wants the war to end because they will all see gas prices go down. But what we don't see is what the President sees in his national intelligence reports. I know that the President hates war. That's why he got eight different peace deals done before this conflict started. He wants to end it.

But the problem is, Iran for 47 years basically held the world hostage. And you can imagine how bad they are now if they had a nuclear weapon. We cannot allow them to have a nuclear weapon. I trust the President. I trust Mark Aruba.

Only 36 percent of the public thinks, and by the way, I am for the president who took the courageous act, and I think his legacy will look positive on it, especially if it ends the right way. But only 36 percent of the American public is in support of it. Yeah. Well, listen, it's obviously an issue. The president knows that, and that's why you heard him say in the speech and he said it before that this won't get resolved before the primary.

He's going to be president for the next two and a half years. Years, but they're not going to let Iran use this as a political weapon. We have to win this thing. He wants to get out of it, and as soon as he does, gas prices will plummet down. And he's the economic champion of the world.

Look at the stock market. Look at the economic growth that this country is seeing. We have to get inflation under control. The President knows that. He has empathy for everyone out there that's struggling with it.

But we have to get this job done before we move on.

So, I want you to hear, as you know, Hassan Piker said that we're worse than Al-Qaeda. And that got Todd Beamer's dad exercised because El Saeed were supportive of Ozam Piker, and he also said that we deserve 9-11. Todd Beamer, as you know, said, let's roll and took back Flag 93. Here's a piece of the ad that's running now, Cut 21. When I hear.

Anyone suggest America deserves. Nile Lobin. My question is. Cool. Would say that.

Question is, and he called out Al-Saeed for that. Yeah, it's completely insane. But that's what we're facing here. Do you love America? Do you want America to continue to dominate?

Do you believe in America first policies? Or do you want to fundamentally change your country?

Some of these candidates want to get rid of July 4th and Thanksgiving. They want to get rid of all the monuments. They want to rewrite history. They want to change the way we live. We can't let.

That's why we can't lose. That's why people are stepping up and they're going to GOP.com and they're uniting, and we got to rally the troops. The number one duty of the party is to turn out the vote. We have 42 days to do it. We need everybody's help.

We cannot lose this race. We have to give the president the. Members that he needs to keep the majority. And if we do, I was with the president last night and we were talking about the Save America Act and how upset he is at the Senate for not passing it. And I just said we just need to hold on until November.

If we get these new warriors in place, that's the first thing that they're going to pass.

So when they talked about the popularity of the parties. Uh the Republicans are minus thirteen. Democrats are minus twenty-one. The DSA is minus 31.

So, whatever you want to say, the generic poll is a five NBC, it's a five-point difference. When it gets double figures, that's when it's trouble for the party in power.

So, it seems like this stuff is correctable, and the Democrats have have been Ineffective in trying to explain what they would do if they got in power.

Well, they don't even have any, they don't have a policy other than the president's bad. It's not just Trump derangement syndrome anymore, it is America derangement syndrome. These guys openly hate America. A lot of them openly hate Jews. You know, it's we're in the fight of our life.

I mean, it's a the fact that El Saeed is a credible candidate in a state like Michigan shows you that our education system has failed. And the fact that 57% of Democrats believe that communism is a positive thing. Talk about Maine for a second. It looks like Susan Collins, one or two points down. She always loses every poll and wins every election.

But what do you say? Yeah, she's going to win. I know what you want. Yeah, no, I think she's going to win. In every single poll throughout the last three cycles, it's always been a seven to eight point swing in her favor outside of the polls.

And so if that's the case, if history repeats itself, she'll be up by five. John Sununu, who's a virtual dead heat right now with Patrick in New Hampshire. I think we win Rogers. I think we win Sununu. And I think some of these other races are actually.

I think we have a better chance of winning Michigan and New Hampshire than we do some of these other races. What about Minnesota? Minnesota is an outside surprise that nobody's talking about. I think because of Minnesota is in such bad shape. And what's happening in some of these blue states, our candidates are actually doing better because I think people are closer to the communism and to the radicalism.

And so they understand what's at stake and what they have to fight for. And so Michelle Tafoya, I think, is running a great race. But we have a lot of great candidates across the board. But I think that, listen, I think we're going to defy history November 3rd. As hard as it is to believe, we have the candidates.

We have the resources. Our secret weapon is President Trump. We're about to barnstorm the country. Great job on the midterm convention, Joe. You really pulled it off and went very well.

Joe Gruz, RNC chair. Thanks so much.

Thank you, Brian. Going to see outnumber in a matter of moments. You listen to the Brian Kill Me Show. Back with more in just a moment. Radio that makes you think.

This is the Brian Kill Me Joe. Sponsored by Previgen. Previgen made for your brain.

Well, look, I'm always optimistic that we're going to make progress. I think, as the president has said, the Russia-Ukraine war has been by far the toughest of the international conflicts to solve. I believe he's meeting with President Zelensky either tomorrow or the day after.

So I'm sure there's going to be some good progress made. But look, this thing has been tough to solve, no doubt about it. But I'd rather work for a president who has energetically tried to solve the problem. We're to keep on trying to solve it. Do I think it'll get solved eventually?

Yes, it's just a question of time. Yeah, unfortunately, there's a bad guy and a good guy. I think we're trying to play it even Steven, but maybe that's the only, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe that's the only way to solve this. But it's just so obvious that Vladimir Putin's a bad guy, whatever you think of Zelensky running the country, he's not invading another country.

He's not a threat to anyone. Zero.

So that is J.D. Vance weighing in. I just think it's the most significant. battle that I've seen in the last twenty years. And really since the beginning of nine eleven and the payback on Afghanistan and Iraq.

Why? Because the Russians want to assume for some reason the Soviet Union, or Vladimir Putin does, in his own delusions, So I had a chance to talk to the foreign minister of Latvia today, Babe Braze, and she was in studio. And I asked her about the region, the Baltics. That's what she's one of the Baltics. They were totally absorbed by the Soviet Union.

Now that she has her freedom and that sense of liberty, how does she feel about being surrounded by Belarus, which is a vassal state of Russia, and Russia today? Cut thirty nine. We are very aware of what Russia is and how Belarus behaves, but we also are in NATO and we are in the EU.

So we are a very committed country for defence and security. We welcome President Trump's push For defence spending, we spend five percent of core defence spending. We make sure that we have most modern technology, that we are pro-business, so we have enough business also in terms of production of drones, self-defense drones, interceptors and so on and so forth.

So what they're doing is getting in bed with Ukrainians. Once this war ends, they're all going to be bulked up. They're all going to have interceptors. They're all going to have drone technology. And I know the Russians will build it up too.

And now the North Koreans got some knowledge of it. And they're going to combine with the Iranians. I love our innovation better. She goes on to talk about life under communism. Because here in this country, we forgot the Cold War.

We forgot we won. And we forgot what we were fighting against. It used to be so obvious what we were trying to avoid.

Now people are forgetting. And that's why we have what we have, this guy, Troy Parker, over in. Over in Maine. We got the two congresspeople, the Democratic Congress winners. She has Chevalier over here in New York, who trumpets communism.

We got the one in Colorado. We got Rab over in Pennsylvania. And we also have the former blind Shakes ally over in New Jersey. Here she's talking about really what communism is, and they remember it in Latvia, CUD40. That was what President Putin wants to build now, where people are not free, where individuals don't have a choice.

And I remember that from Soviet times. It was the state telling us what to do and how to think and what not to do. We are now all free. We have this individual liberty. We have capitalism.

We have private initiative. We want to build all of us successful countries. This democracy, this what we have in the US, what we have in Latvia, what Ukraine wants to build is something that is a threat to Russia because Russia is the opposite. Imperial, authoritarian, very, very suppressive regime. Yeah, no doubt about it.

She just talks about what she sees right front and center, what the Americans should see too. She also sees an axis of evil building, Cut 41. Russia is aligning with Iran. Not only Iran supported to build Russia's drone capacity with Shahids and everything, but also now Russia is supporting Iran in the Middle East. As you have seen, Fox News ran the story of collusion of Russia and Iran in various ways.

So this is very clear. But it's also affecting Hezbollah, it's also affecting Houthis in Yemen.

So Iran is a negative actor in that respect, that is enabled by Russia. But then also of course we have this no-limit strategic partnership of Russia with China. China providing dual use goods to Russia. The fact that Russia can build missiles is very much because of the exports that take place from China and other places. And it was so excited to meet Marco Rubio, who came into Fox and Friends today, and we were able to interview him for 20 minutes, and they stuck around for 45 just to say hello.

I mean, that's what America means on the world stage. And we'll get at these stats that say America's been diminished on the world stage with Trump. I think it's really just the opposite, and we'll see that more after he leaves. But we'll see also once as this turns out, he's addressing all our problems. And when you address problems, you make some enemies, some at home, too.
