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

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

Or visit weSharehealth.org and take a look for yourself. Not worried about hosting the whole family for the holidays? Why would I be? Wayfair had everything I needed to get the house holiday ready. What if Mike brings his cheerful dogs?

My tree has tons of five-star reviews telling me how sturdy it is. But what if everyone's plus one brings a plus one? We'll see how extendable this extendable table really is. And extra chairs are on the way.

Okay, what if there's a blizzard and everyone has to sleep over? Ready to go with extra bedding and towels. From guest-ready essentials to holiday decor you can trust, Wayfair delivers. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead.

Hi everyone, so glad you're there. The Brian Kill Me Show. I'm glad you've been with me all week long. This hour going to be joined by Craig Carton, host of the Craig Carton Show, on Owl Kick, talk a little bit of sports and so much more. And we're going to talk about everything that's going on today.

We know the Iranian delegation is going to stay right around till Monday. This has been the General Assembly Week, UNGA, right here in New York City, which is gummed up traffic. Literally took me, after hosting Jesse Water Show last night, it took me. Uh for one hour to get out of the city and it usually takes ten minutes So you just they just shut down all the arteries. Uh but here we are, ready to go, and we'll see how it goes.

That's what happens when you have the United Nations here.

So meanwhile, the President of the United States, we're looking at the aftermath of his big meeting with President Xi.

So let's get to the big three. Number three. I think it's absolutely disgusting and deplorable the things that Hassan Piker has said, right? But he does not represent the Democratic Party.

Well, see, that is Ken Martin, the DNC chair, Dem Socialist brand. The socialist brander, Hassan Piker, reasserts himself as a voice of the people. While GOP catches a break in Alaska's revelation show, the frontrunner, the Democrat, has a rage issue. Number two. The president is in a tough position, ASB diplomatic, and she is a despicable human being.

We've been ripped off by China for a long time on trade deals. China's eating our lunch. Doesn't bother me if the president wants to buy him dinner. I just wouldn't believe his book. All right, China, a dine-in-deal for President Trump as President Xi and the White House.

That's what took place last night. Not sure of the final gains, but we did get two pandas. The question is: will we convince them to get their hands off Iran and the Houthi war machines and keep their word on deals already cut? Number one. Mr.

Mamdani. Shame on you. Shame on you for distorting the facts. Shame on you for inverting victim and aggressor. Shame on you for spitting in the face of truth.

There you go. That is Benjamin Etanyahu. A fantastic speech yesterday. Israel takes on the world at UNGA as Bibi blasts his critics. First and foremost, New York's radical mayor.

Why this all reaffirms the need to finish the job in Iran the right way?

So Iran came up and presented another deal, evidently. And the deal is a seven-day deal, seven days instead of 60 days. They'll start nuclear talks right away. Turin wants the release of $12 billion in frozen Iranian funds. They want to waive sanctions on Iran oil and lift the naval blockade.

Then with their in turn would reopen the strait. I think it's a non-starter. Iran's economy is under severe pressure, obviously. The foreign minister presented this plan. The other thing is, the.

Uh the MOU. was cut by the same people and the IRGC just blew it up. And it was not denied yesterday in the Pre in Brett Baer's fantastic sit down with the President of Iran, that story in the New York Times that said that the Iranian President was shocked that the IRGC was just taking shots at merchant ships after they cut the deal. They said, What are you doing? And the IRG says, Not us.

It's just some elements decides they didn't like the MOU and start shooting at chips.

So they can cut a deal, even if they wanted to cut a deal. That's the other thing. And then they don't even know if you're being played, like good cop, bad cop. But we did kill two or three layers of their leadership.

So it's an excellent chance. They really have absolutely no control. But I listened to, I talked to General King this morning after I read. The latest proposal, and here's what he said, cut fifteen.

Well, that's an absolute absurdity. I mean, what this is telling us is that the blockade is very effective. We know that because nothing is coming out of Iran and nothing is going into Iran, you know, through the Straits of Hamuz. Obviously, they're using roads, rail lines, and also some of the Caspian Sea and airports, but Besson is going to shut down the airports, the Secretary of Treasury. The economic squeeze that Secretary Besson has put on him is also having an effect.

That's the manifestation of this proposal. But how absurd is that proposal? They want to also still maintain some level of control of the Straits of Hamuz, and they want all the money back to Provide a lifeline to the regime. It makes no sense on the surface of it. I know our people are not going to agree to anything like that.

But it might be tempting to the present. Why? Because if you open up that straight. Oil prices really drop rapidly. And if you get the IAEA back in there looking at their nuclear sites, if they open them up, if they said something to this nature.

We have five major nuclear plants. We'll allow you, along with our escorts and the IAEA, to go into all those nuclear sites. with some excavation equipment, the stuff we blew up already, and inspect them. In exchange for Obviously, opening up the strait. We'll stop their blockade, they stop our blockade, and vice versa.

And then you have a release of some funds. That would be tempting for Trump. Because what's the goal? I mean, the ultimate goal is to get rid of this regime, because we're always going to have problems as long as that regime is in place. But the short-term goal, which is long-term too, no nuclear program.

And they opened it wide up and said, Yeah, you can come. You know, you could bring your guys, your excavation equipment, and you could go dig this out and get the uranium out. We don't want to be a nuclear nation. President would s really have to consider that. Especially because he chose a victory and there's You know, and and we all know many deal with the Iranians is not something you could even bank on for a day.

But if you actually pull out the uranium, that's another story. But that's not what this seven-day thing is. Mark Ruta. NATO General Secretary. Cut fourteen.

I think the Iranian people are totally fed up with their leadership. What we are seeing is, under American leadership, clearly degrading the nuclear capability of Iran and the ballistic missile capability, which was a threat to Israel, the Middle East, but also to Europe. Thanks to President Trump, that has been degraded. And now with the economic sanctions choking off the Iranian economy, the Iranian people are feeling this day to day. The problem is that the Iranian leadership itself is not always interested in the interests of the people living in that great nation.

Gulf states got together. They're looking to rally around Saudi Arabia and help them fight off the Houthis. France says it was sending in, they're going to send in some soldiers to help out. We have to help out. We might get selling them F-35s.

I would like to see us help out more. I don't know what resources we have that might hold us back. I know we got a few different obligations, but I would like to show the Saudis that we got their back. As complex as our relationship is, they're heading in the right direction. As an ally, we want to show them what we can do because, man, we want the money, we want the investment in our country.

Meanwhile, I was stunned to see the relationship between the Houthis and the Chinese. I did not know that they were playing such a big role in backing up the Houthis, which makes me wonder why the Saudis would allow that. The Saudis have this relationship with China. Why can't the Saudis just turn around and go, Yeah, you have all this investment, you want me to invest here, there, and everywhere, and you're with the Houthis who are trying to blow us up. They captured another strategic port.

right near the Red Sea.

So they're going to be in control of the Red Sea shortly. They said they don't have no problem with us, but we got a huge problem with them.

So the big question is yesterday and with the Chinese leader, what was accomplished? We don't know. We got two pandas. Maybe that's good news. But we do know that they provided intelligence, satellites, coordinates in order for them, the Iranians, to hit our bases and kill our people.

We also know they delivered weapons material in the summer to start rebuilding their missile program. That should come up first and foremost. Then we talk about things in the region. Like, for example, you're rattling the cage trying to take islands back from Japan. That's not going to work.

South Korea, excuse me, the Philippines, you're harassing all their ships. That's not going to be effective. You said that you were going to be buying soybeans. You're falling behind that pace. And other agricultural products, you're falling a lot behind.

So, they want to extend the current deal for two years. We said, How about two months? Because you're not executing on it. But we are continuing the dialogue. I don't think there's anything wrong with that December.

They're supposed to meet again at the G twenty. Presidents invited Vladimir Putin there. I'm not too sure why he would do that. I don't think he deserves to be there, especially because he continues to continue prolong a war, maximize the pain on his country and throughout the region. And now he's hurting us by shutting off the Black Sea and stopping agricultural products from getting to much needed places like in Africa.

So that's the story about China, what they're going to give in, what we can do, what we caught them doing, and what they said they did, and what they pledged to do from here. That's something only the presidents know because they spoke to each other. We have not seen many readouts on that. But Masood Praseskian is the president of Iran. He was asked.

about the help that he got from China about coordinates, about coordinance and about crackdowns and about the way he got missile technology possibly from China. And of course he denies that. But here's Praseski, and when he was talking last night to Brett Baer. And he said Uh he said this about cooperating. Uh with China.

Oh Cut seventeen. Did Chinese satellite images help? kill American soldiers at the hands of Iran. I say you changed the money. As shown by actions, demonstrable actions, America has sought to kill Iranians.

Why do they were killed there? Did you satellite in the middle? Not at all. Not at all. Number one, I'm specifically unaware of these reported, purported images that you talk about.

Bracket that out. I'm specifically unaware. Are the images You purported these purported images you're talking about. Yes, because you're the president, you're a former heart surgeon, you obviously have nothing to do with the military. Therefore, that's plausible deniability.

Of course they were providing imaging, and so were the Russians. I just hope behind closed doors the President's a lot tougher because it's costing our lives. You know, we prepare for one opponent, and it turns out they're getting superpower technology. That's a big deal. Jack Keynes.

Knows this about China Cut twenty one. When you look at China's objectives, and President Xi has stated this time and time again, his desire is to dominate and control the Pacific region, and that would obviously be at the United States' expense and expense of our allies. That's an adversarial nature, for sure. And then he wants to replace the United States as the world's global leader. You can't get there in both of those without stepping over the United States in terms of what our interests are.

It's true. 1866-408-7669. The bottom of the hour and talk a little sports. When we come back, I'll talk about the midterms with you and then be able to squeeze in some calls and get a lot of times you guys write through the night because you'll see the repeater. You go on our YouTube page and you watch it, watch pieces of the show back, youtube.com/slash at the Brian Kilmeat Show, and you'll write me, and I appreciate that.

So, I'll get to some of that in just a moment. Brian Kilmeat Show. Coming to you on a need-to-know basis because Mandy, you know. Need to know. Ian's Brian Killmead.

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.

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

Or visit weShareHealth.org and take a look for yourself. M The more you listen, the more you'll. know it's Brian Killmead. There's no doubt that Higher gas prices and higher Your diesel prices are having a big impact on Nebraska families. bringing a squeeze on everybody's budget, certainly our farmers and ranchers are feeling it.

The country that chanced death to America cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons. Are these issues the prices dragging down your reelection campaign? We're going to go out and take every re-election very seriously and work very hard each and every time. That is Senator Ricketts over Nebraska. It's really a three horse race.

There's an independent in that race too, kind of out there to deceive. They're trying that in different red states to try to pull some upsets. I'll tell you this. A couple of revelations when it comes to the midterms. First off, on this Mary Patoa, this woman is a horror.

The New York Times writes this story with nine separate sources, and essentially talks about this former congresswoman who wants to be senator and is up on Dan Sullivan by two points. A lot of it has to do with the fact there's another guy with the name Dan Sullivan in the race, and he's a total, he's not a real candidate. It's a total joke.

So, this Mary Patoa story. It's just rocked the whole campaign. She evidently is a rager. She's got a raging temper. She's uh pushed an employee.

She's uh she's put in text messages too. Anti-gay slurs. She also mocks the handicapped. Fired one of her staffers in a rage fit, right? A couple of staffers in a rage fit after winning the primary, coming in first.

Drove A to tears. Uh, maid staff, get this, makes her staff feed crickets to her chameleon named Meatball when she goes away. blamed you know when they were said you got caught On you got caught texting people directly talking about this one person, I guess, is gay, they call him um. I don't know. Should I say the slying words?

I probably shouldn't say the slying words, right? Yeah, I'm not going to say it, but put a derogatory term for being gay. How about that? A derogatory term for mentally handicapped. How about that?

Because someone doesn't do something right.

So I'd rather not use the words, but it's in black and white. It's not, oh, she called me that. No, I didn't. No, no, she texted it. Evidently, she's had a temper from when she was a congresswoman.

She's got a temper when she's a candidate. And then they said this is so bad they can't get out of it. They said, well, she was suffering because she was her mom and her husband and mom died in a short period of time. A lot of these accusations are before that. This woman is a mess.

Dan Sullivan is a class act. He's a military veteran with the Bush administration. You know, he's a worker for Alaska, oil and gas, pushing back against Joe Biden on a regular basis, doing the best he can to get work done, going back and forth. It's hard to even book him on the radio show. He's so busy.

But I think this guy could be the difference. The other thing with this El Saeed, you see the exchange yesterday. I don't know if we, Eric, I'm not sure I made the sheet today, but I'd love to bring this back. Because El Saeed came out yesterday, he does a town hall. And this one kid, he's about 23 years old.

He's about 23 years old, leaned out of her and says, Look, basically, it sounds like I want to vote for you. But the fact is, when it came out that you told your staff, caught on camera that the day that Ayatollah died, you're not going to bring it up because there are people out there sad that he died. Just please tell this kid, just wants to know that you understand that the IRGC. is brutal and you don't support them. And he was relentless.

The guy's name is Aman Dashti. In Ann Arbor, Michigan, listen to this, Cut thirty one. You can imagine our surprise as Persians. Our sadness when we heard you, Abdul, a leaked audio tape of you saying that you didn't want to comment on Supreme Leader Khamenei's death and that people in Dearborn were sad. when he died.

And I just have a simple question, Abdul. That silence was a Had a gaping hole in our community. And I want to ask if you regret that silence. I want to ask if you renounce the people that held vigils, that supported this terrorist for all the stuff that he's done. I wanted to ask if you stand unequivocally against the IRGC, against the Islamic Republic of Iran, that has killed 50,000 protesters, Abdul.

I haven't heard anything from you about the protesters, Abdul. Please.

So Here's his response: the 32.

So, when it comes down to it, I will always stand for and with democratic movements, always. But I also don't believe that we were in the right to go to war to topple. the government of Iran. It was not our responsibility to do it. It is the responsibility of the people of Iran to decide what their leadership should look like.

And so while I stand with freedom and democratic movements, I also worry That once you start putting our resources toward regime change in foreign countries, More often than not, the regimes that we seek to change are the ones in which there is a natural resource interest. And it becomes a ploy. For the interests of our corporations, and that's what I worry about. Here's this idiot. Number one: the people are being held hostage by their government.

They've killed 603 Americans in the Iraq war alone. They've killed hundreds when it comes to the Beirut bombing, when it comes to the Cobar bombing, come to the USS Coal. Let alone the what they till them with uh I have peace. All you have to say is I condemn the IRGC and he wouldn't do it. Craig Carton next.

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.

Or visit weSharehealth.org and take a look for yourself. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. Pure with Brian Kilmead. It's a big loss for sure. You're starting quarterback.

Okay. It's tough loss. I did text them, like can't remember exactly what it was. It was just along the lines of uh There's purpose in this, you know, and And we'll all know what it is at some point in time, but it's okay to feel bad right now, you know. But I think I might have mentioned the world, you know, the sun is going to come up in the morning, the world is going to keep spinning.

Just one of the many coaches dealing with quarterbacks, superstar quarterbacks that have suffered injuries, but none worse than Jackson Dart, who's out for the year. He's out for the year, MCL problem. We went over this a little bit on television already. We'll do it on radio and then expand on this conversation. Craig Carton, hosted the Craig Carton Show on Outkick.

Go to outkick.com. Craig, excited to have you here again. Hopefully, this is a Friday tradition. I think it is. Right.

9:34 every Friday. And I'm excited. And look at this: there's two things that you know that make you fit in. The America hat, that's right, that's right. And the Fox Sports sweatshirt.

I mean, I'm a company man, Brian. Yes, I know where my bread is butter. No, in the afternoon, do you put on a WFAN hat? No, WFAN. No.

I leave. This is actually a version of the American flag from Tractor Supply.

So it's like a hunter's hat. You see like different animals there. No, I rock the Fox gear. That's wherever I go. I'm rocking Fox stuff.

Yes, I had a great moment this morning walking over here. I come down 48th Street in New York City.

So the firehouse that lost the most men, sadly, on 9-11 is right there on 48th and 7th. And I'm walking down the street, a random guy in normal street clothes. Hey, Corton. I'm like, let's go. Because I don't know.

Yeah, you're right. You have no idea. Just one fight before and before school again. You have no idea. And he's like, firefighter, right there.

I think it's ladder 54, Engine 54. And he goes, would you come over to say hi to the guys at the firehouse?

Now I'm half awake, but you can't say no to them because everybody was sleeping.

So I walked in. I got to see the firehouse, took some pictures, and it was awesome. But the guy knew me not just from the radio, but from my many appearances with you now on Fox and Friends. Nice. That's right.

Were you making fun of me not wearing a suit? International. But you could go anywhere in the world now.

Now I can. That's WANA. Yeah, that's right. And wherever I want to go, it's like, you're the guy that doesn't wear a tie. Right.

So, Craig, just so you know, I'm not sure what you can do with this information. Fascinating to find out when we were growing as a country before we got to 50. We were adding a stripe with every star. And the fray was getting too big.

So they made a decision. Keep it thirteen. Ed stars. Good move? Yeah, I love it.

Because the flag would have been enormous. I will say this: like 50 stripes would have been ridiculous. That'd be the biggest flag of all time, right? To make the stripes really, really small. As you may know, I majored in American history.

I happen to love the Betsy Ross flag from a aesthetic standpoint. Yeah. But we got the best flag out there, so I'm good with it. Absolutely. Who made that decision?

The Founding Fathers? It would have been way after them, right? Allison, do you know who made that? I don't know if there was one person who made the decision. I think one person was like sewing this and go, Can we stop this?

Like, my fingers are killing. I mean, the Louisiana purchase, I resigned. Are you kidding me? We don't have enough thread. I think you're probably right.

It's the seamstress gun. No, not more. No. What did you come back with? All right.

So back to our original topic. We had John Harbaugh bumping in, talking about, you know, there's a reason behind this. This is just one of the games this weekend. It's going to be intriguing. I think Jameis Winston's one of the best backup quarterbacks in the NFL.

I kind of liked having him as a backup. In his head, I'm thinking that he's almost thinking like he's retired. He spent the summer doing World Cup. Right. And then he was the Wednesday before the game, he was doing a Broadway skit with Eli Manning.

The Hamilton thing, right?

So do you expect him to be better? Yeah, I think he can't be worse. He was terrible. He was, I don't want to use this word because it's going to be overstated. He embarrassed himself against the Rams on Monday night.

Obviously, there's no expectation I'm going to play. But when you say that you feel like he's the best backup, I think the Giants felt that way also. They gave him a two-year extension this offseason with $12 million guaranteed.

So they obviously felt like he could step in. The problem for him is that we saw Drew Locke step in in Seattle for Sam Donald. He's 2-0. We saw 40-year-old Carson Wentz step in for Kyler Murray in Minnesota. He's 2-0.

Last night, although Michael Pennix should have been the starter, he was hurt. He comes in after bad quarterback play and beats the Green Bay Packers in Green Bay.

So we've seen a competent backup quarterback play. He has to be better because this is a game you have. To win, so yeah, we got to talk about more than New York, but I do have to ask you who you would sign in addition because the people that are saying J.J. McCarthy, yeah, I don't think J.J. McCarthy's any good.

I know you and I spoke the other day. Jimmy Garoppolo is a name that's out there. What do you think? Look, he's free. He only retired last year.

It cost you nothing to get him, so it's not a bad idea. Obviously, if you get to a third quarterback, your season's a wrap anyway. You're not going to like this, and John fans are not going to like this. But I would go to Russell Wilson and save him from that train wreck of a pregame show on CBS. That CBS shows.

I mean, for a network that started pregame shows with the legendary Brett Mussberger and Irv Cross, they're rolling over in their graves right now because that is a. Clown show. Right. Why did they have to get rid of Boomer and Phil Sims?

Well, they were too old. You can't have too many who write guys on TV these days. Your days are numbered.

So, how dare you? But, Craig, you still have Terry Bradshaw and Howard Lowe. They're roughly the same. But they're fun. Like, if you're fun and you're self-deprecating, it works still.

Like, Terry Bradshaw still works. He does. Just the show's fun. Right. They had Nate Broson out there last Sunday.

I don't know if you saw this or not. Wearing shorts with a suit. Right. Now, you and I can't rock that. We both understand that.

But neither could he. Right. And you wear that because you don't want fun. You want to. But you do make fun of.

If I wore it, it would be to make fun of myself. Oh, imagine what Lawrence would say to you in the moment. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And I'd mock you as well.

You can't, there's no such thing as a good-looking suit with shorts. I don't care if you put cocoa butter on your legs or not. It's not a good look.

So, and the fact that he was seriously doing that. Yeah, he did it because nobody wants to hear what he has to say.

So now it's got to be: look at the clown. I like the circus. But you have to admit, and and Fox, like when for example They're sitting down with the guys. They're not there to break news. Like if you're any of these pregame shows used to be, we're going to break news on this show.

For example, the best interview right now would be Tony Romo. Tony Romo to talk about. Look, no one's for DUIs. Everyone makes mistakes. But if you're going to get a DUI, That tape, this guy was polite.

He was kind. Couldn't have been any better, actually. Couldn't have been any better. He was polite, respectful. I mean, for him to get pushed out like that and to find out, I mean, it's all about the contract and the performance.

And they overpaid him. Yes, and he changed the game financially for all the analysts, making literally a million dollars a game. I think the reality of that is what you just said. If CBS still thought that Tony Romo was the greatest analyst, John Madden, obviously, Troy Aikman at ESPN, Tom Brady, obviously with us here at Fox, then they would have found a way to bring him back to broadcast with Jim Nance. The reality is that he regressed as a broadcaster.

So we all have morals clauses in our contracts. I do, you do, I'm sure, as well.

So this is an opportunity for CBS to say, hey, wait a minute. He's got five years, $90 million left on his contract. We have a contractual right to get out of it and save the money. And it's more about that than what Tony did. I also think Tony Romo was very...

Smart. And the one public comment he made through his publicist was that. Because of the injuries I suffered playing football, sadly I've leaned on pain meds and alcohol to numb the pain.

Well, what fan can't show some level of respect for that? It was a genius play, whether it's factual or not. It was the right thing to say. Can I just say factually, here's the problem? Yeah.

Is that he's evidently an awesome golfer? He's probably not for the senior tour.

So, yeah.

So, if you're in that much pain in your second career, how are you still that good? Yeah. No, no, I'm with you on that. Look, see, by the way, if I make a good point, you can use this on FAN. No one, but I don't think we, if you don't mind, I can see you saying that.

I'm going to be driving in my car, and you're going to be like, you know, I was just thinking about this Romo situation. You know, I'm going to do it today. Hey, Giants fans, take a break. I know you want to talk Giants and Yankees playoffs start on Tuesday. But Kill Meat had a great point this morning.

No, you wouldn't say Kill Me. I got to give you credit. Oh, you wouldn't give it away. I got to steal content from anybody else.

Okay, really? Yeah. Okay, I'll keep that in mind. 3:30 this afternoon. I can't wait.

So, yeah, and by the way, while we're talking about that, I asked Randy Levine last night, was on with me. I filled in for Jesse. And at the end, I asked him about Aaron Judge. He says, I have no idea if he's playing, but I wanted to get you to comment on the college sports reform that they put out there that Randy helped pioneer. He's a lawyer, and he's good friends with Trump for 50 years.

So it looks like it's passed another hurdle. It's going to get a final vote in the Senate on Monday. Here's how he described it. Oh, you want to go Ted Cruz? Try this again.

So instead of having Randy Levine, I'd rather have Ted Cruz describe it. They're on the same committee. Thanks for going with me. The Ni L era is here. The Protect College Sports Act embraces this new reality by codifying and protecting the rights of student athletes.

Real NIL is not the same as a disguised recruiting payment. Revenue sharing is not the same as unlimited cap evasion. Athlete mobility is not the same as permanent roster free agency. And legal certainty does not mean a blank check. The Protect College Sports Act draws these lines.

Five years, right? One transfer. Coaches can't transfer even in the middle of the season. They said it's going to empower with an antitrust example, it's going to empower the NCAA to make a rule and not get sued, to flip that rule. And it's going to be redistributing some of the money from college football and basketball to the so-called Olympic sports.

Yeah, and then they've done that. You know, listen, football and basketball drives 90 plus percent of all the revenue in college sports. There are a few sports that have other programs that do well financially, but it's a football-basketball world. What I'm trying to figure out, Brian, and I had Randy on my radio show as well, and he's a dear friend. Why would you be against it?

Like, for example, Corey Booker, senator of New Jersey, is against it. Rutgers is half a billion dollars in debt because of, in part, NIL and the new rules, right? Yeah. So, I'm trying to figure out why would we want kids to be able to change schools every single year, willy-nilly? Why would we want coaches to make commitments to kids to recruit them to leave in the middle of a season?

Why would we want guys with bags of cash to be able to determine the outcome of next year's season or where a kid's going to go? Why don't we vet the boosters? Like in Miami, their biggest booster for 20 years was committing fraud in his business life and was using the ill-gotten gains of that fraud to support you, Miami football. Why do we want a new quarterback every single year on every team? Why do we want to screw high school seniors graduating looking for their opportunity to play college ball?

No one yet. Has given to me, at least to my satisfaction, a platform for why you would vote against it.

Now, I don't think government needs to be involved in every aspect of our lives either. But college sports has a very special place in this country, and we need to protect the sanctity and the respect that those players get.

So, Drew Rosenau says, I like it the way it is. He says, because an agent, he could actually sign high school players. Yeah, but here's the other thing. They can sign high school players. Without this act, there's no cap or limit on how much an agent can take from a player.

You're talking about immature kids that are signing multi-million dollar deals, and their parents might not be in a position to understand what those deals entail either. And the agents come in, and it's predatory, and they'll say to a kid, I'm going to take 25% of what I get for you. In the NFL, the max is 4%.

So I do think that should be capped as well. Absolutely. So I'm all for it too. Tebow's on this. They have players on this.

They got Nick Sabans on this committee. I don't think anyone's agenda is really... And by the way, the SEC is now on board. The other thing they're doing is they're stopping conferen teams, colleges, from leaving conferences. They said, if you do that for five years, you're at large.

You have no conference.

So if you want to leave the SEC, okay, good. For five years, you're basically. Which makes it harder to win a championship. Right. And that upsets some lawmakers.

Like in Florida, because it looks like Florida State wanted to move. Yeah, the other part of this is that the upside is we're going to level the playing field literally for everybody. Like, so take Indiana. Indiana was the worst program in the history of the Big Ten in football, the losingest program historically of all time. All of a sudden, you can inject some cash into the recruiting, and now Indiana is a powerhouse.

That's ultimately good for the sport because you're not going to have one or two teams that dominate and have a dynasty.

Now, your alma mater, my alma mater, I don't care where you went to school, if you've got donors willing to stroke checks, you can now compete on the same level as Alabama and Georgia and Ohio State, et cetera, et cetera. But you got to screen together. And you got to screen the companies. In order to get into the ability, in other words, it should be an NIL eligibility.

So it's got to be, let's say, it's going to be Firestone Tires. Right. Okay. Firestorm Tires wants to go sponsor a team. You're going to have to go through the process.

All right.

Yes. And so then now they're eligible. You should be vetted.

So every school is going to wind up having a general manager now. That's going to be basically CFO. And I think that's smart. Jalen Brunson is going to be hosting SNL. Here's the promo.

Hi, I'm Jalen Brunson, and I'll be hosting the season premiere of SNL. What's up, Ben? Jalen, what's up, man? How are you doing? Oh my god, I'm so happy you're here, dude.

Appreciate it, man. Is that the key to the city? Yeah, I got it after we won the NBA Finals. Yeah. Speaking of, I was going to ask: do you mind signing my lower back so I can get it tattooed?

What? Nothing. What were you saying about the key? There's only one door I want this key to unlock. Saturday Night Live.

Okay. Uh That's a great thing.

Someone said to me about an hour ago, Are you going to watch SNL because Brunson's hosting it? And I'm obviously a big Nick fan. No, because when was the last time it was funny? Never. Never.

Yeah. It's been a long time. Many comedy writers, from sure, individually, are really funny. They probably stand up comics, right? Why can't they make SNL funny?

Right? Saturday nights on Fox News is funny. I'm also a part of it from time to time, and that's what sounds funniest. With Jimmy Phaler. Yeah, Jimmy's great, right?

Aaron Berg is great. Kennedy's great. Why can't SNL find funny people? You know why? Because they're into this political agenda.

I agree. They had the funniest president ever, and Joe Biden, they could have had great fun with that. And they decided, well, we can't do it because it hurts the party, which is crazy. Yeah. Because if you go back, they used to make fun of everybody.

And that's the beauty of comedy. I was just talking to Jim Norton, who's a famous stand-up comic out in New York. Like, we need comedy. We need stand-up comedy to poke fun at all the mundane things that we worry about throughout the week. But SNL does a terrible job with that.

As someone who's who, if I was managing your career and it's up, and we've been talking. Are we in a good place? Yeah, I would say you should watch. It'll help your Monday show. Just so you have something to talk about.

All right, fair enough. I will. All right, watch Outkick. And you get it on the stream, right? Outkick.com.

Outkick.com. It's all over all the social media. And today, well, Mark. I think our 14th show. Fantastic.

I didn't think it was going to last that long.

Well, I was a little surprised. My over-under was 30. Thank you, Craig Carton. Back on the middle. I'm just going to see you.

Mm-hmm. Learning something new every day on the Brian Killmeat 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 non-profit, Christian healthcare sharing organization. And their members pay up to 60% less than they would for Obamacare. You still get access to a nationwide PPO network and over a million physicians plus unlimited telehealth.

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

Or visit weSharehealth.org and take a look for yourself. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. I have a house. And I have a home.

I consider America my home. America has been good to me. He said it's the greatest country in the world. If you don't like this country, go somewhere else. Don't come to the greatest country in the world, the most successful country in the world.

and say I want to change it. There are other countries that are there something else that you want. Who there? That is Judge Judy says, like it is, and that's the way most people I know feel. It doesn't mean you're happy with everything and every decision that we make or the president that gets elected, but fundamentally we used to all agree on that.

And that's what I try to do on stage. Uh when I do those shows I did six history books. This would be my seventh, October 13th. And that's when I realized I would. Not many people know this stuff.

They don't know the roots of our foundation, what makes our country special, like the the evolutions that we went through, the challenges that we had along the way. And if you understand that, you're much less likely to be so critical. And not understand. I mean, you hear these people, they have rage against their own country. They don't understand how much better it is and what we went through to get here.

That includes all the racial problems and everything else that we went through. But, Judge Judy, you have nailed it. And by the way, United States comes out October 13th. Go to BrianKillme.com.

Or visit weSharehealth.org and take a look for yourself. Yeah. From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kill Mead. From 48th and 6th of Midtown, Manhattan, heard around the country, around the world.

This is the Brian Kill Me Joe. This hour, Alex Berenson will be with us, investigative reporter who made his name by really questioning everything that was going on with the China virus that poisoned the world. Alex Berenson came out and said, I'm really not sure about this vaccine. I'm really not sure about the therapeutics that we're going through. I'm really not sure about the shutdown.

And what happened? They banned him from social media. They tried to marginalize him, call him crazy. Former New York Times writer, he's going to be with us because he wants to take some of that investigative skill and ask questions about AI. Also standing by is Steve Mosher, author of The Devil in the Communist China, from Mao down to Xi, Population Research Institute president.

So he really understands what the president's up against in the Rose Garden yesterday. And before we get to Steve. Let's get to the big three. Number three. I think it's absolutely disgusting and deplorable the things that Hassan Feikris said, right?

But he does not represent the Democratic Party.

That is true in some ways and not true in other ways. That's DNC Chair Ken Martin. Finally, say something that James Carville has been saying from day one. They don't belong in the Democratic Party, but they are. Democratic Socialist brand ambassador Hassan Piker reasserts himself as a voice of his people while GOP catches a break in Alaska as revelations show the frontrunner, Mary Peltoa, is a Rageaholic.

Number two. The president is in a tough position, ASB diplomatic, and she is a despicable human being. We've been ripped off by China for a long time on trade deals. China's eating our lunch. Doesn't bother me if the president wants to buy him dinner.

I just wouldn't believe his book. Yep, China dine and deal for President Trump and President Xi at the White House. Not sure of the final gains, but we did get two pandas. The question is: will we convince them to get their hands off Iran and the Houthi rebels and their war machines, and maybe tell Russia to jump in a lake of oil instead of buying it? Keep their word on deals they already cut with us.

Number one. Mr. Mamdani. Shame on you. Shame on you for distorting the facts.

Shame on you for inverting victim and aggressor. Shame on you. for spitting in the face of truth. Bibi Danyao was brilliant yesterday. Israel takes on the world at UNGA, as Bibi blasts his critics, first and foremost, New York's radical mayor.

Why this all affirms the need to finish the job in Iran the right way? And there was a deal that was handed us yesterday, and the Iranian delegation is going to be in the city until Monday that's really a seven-day deal. They say they'll work on it for seven days, work on the nuclear program, open up the strait if they can get some unfrozen funds, and we would end our blockade on them. I don't think the president takes that deal, but shows you how desperate they are, in my view. Back to China.

Steve Mosher joins us now. Hey, Steve. Yeah. Steve, because of the boycott and the problems with the President and the pool, I didn't see much yesterday, and I don't think anyone else did. But What do you think the President Could if what is a win for the President in this meeting?

Well, the one for the President meeting is strategic stability because everything is moving in our favor now. And people may not understand why President Trump had the military honor guard and all the pomp and circumstance and showing him the National Archives and doing things that he's never done with any other visiting leader, foreign leader. Why has he done it with Xi Jinping?

Well, the rule is keep your friends close and your enemies closer. And America has no greater enemy than Xi Jinping. But right now, Trump Because of his policies, the tariffs, the move on Venezuela, Panama, the move on Greenland. Uh Trump has Xi Jinping and a bear hug. You can't get any closer than that.

And he's hugging him close. And Xi Jinping knows that 10 years ago, he was in a position of strength. When he was standing in the Rose Garden with Obama 10 years ago, he was smiling. and nodding with everything that Obama said. And of course, went on to rob us blind over the preceding succeeding years.

Now, of course, we are in a dominant position. He's in a more submissive position.

So that's what's going on. President Trump is not always diplomatic, as we know. But he can be diplomatic when he wants to be, and he certainly has been over the last couple of days, and it's good for America. We don't want a kinetic conflict with Taiwan. over Taiwan or any other issue with China.

And because of Trump's diplomacy, I think we've put the day of open conflict further off, while we gradually erode China's ability to hurt us and our allies by reindustrializing America. That's what this is all about. This is the long game. You know, that's really my theme of you were kind enough to come on last Sunday on my Sunday show. But that is my theme about what Trump's trying to do overall.

I don't want to digress too much, but. If he just cared about these midterm elections, you don't do Iran. If he just cared about the midterm elections, you don't challenge Canada. If he just cared about the midterm election, you don't do Liberation Day. He's trying to restructure America's trade relations.

He's trying to finally get an enduring peace or a chance at peace in the Middle East. And with China, he's not looking for a short-term deal on soybeans. He's looking for a reconfiguration. He's cutting down the trade deficits. Not down far enough.

But you don't do that with one swipe. And he doesn't believe you do that by saying, China, you're our enemy. I don't want to meet with you. I want to compete with you. He likes hospitality, and he also does not back away from strength.

He likes strong guys. You know, you bring him on. I li I like a good challenge. And he's a challenge, and he brings something to the table besides pandas. What they've shown us, which they're loaning us, they don't even give us pandas, they loan us pandas, which is odd.

I also found out that if the pandas have a baby panda, the panda is still a Chinese panda, although it will have citizenship if born here, which probably vote in future elections.

So, but here's my question to you, Steve. They had a year to prove. They've had about eight months to prove themselves. You would think that China would deliver all the soybeans it's supposed to. They didn't.

They would deliver the ag product. They didn't. They would continue to do rare earth on this temporary deal at the pace in which we're paying. They didn't. So when Scott Besson sits down with his counterpart, what is it, six months later?

He honestly can't even say that they're living up to their short-term deal. Having said that, then how do you handle? Making a longer term deal. Yeah, absolutely. And, you know, I was really expecting a six-month extension on the Busan agreement.

And then I looked. At the actual behavior of China over the last half year. And yeah, the rare earth shipments are down by 20%. They promised to buy 200 Boeings. They're only going to buy 150.

That's a 25% drop. They promised to stop fentanyl precursors. We've still got tens of thousands of Americas dying. If pennil deaths have gone down, it's probably been because of enforcement, not because of. stopping shipping from China by the Chinese government.

So the ag products, they're down by twenty percent, thirty percent too.

So China has not kept the Busan agreement. That's why I think Secretary Bassant said we're not going to give them six months, we're going to give them two months. And that two month extension reflects the skepticism of the Trump administration that China will ever abide by any deal that it agrees to. And Trump goes way back on this issue, not just his nineteen ninety nine book, but back in twenty seventeen, he had the first trade agreement with China. They violated it during his first term.

So he's been on China's case for a long time. He knows these. The Chinese Communist Party lies, it cheats, it steals from its own people primarily. and from any other person in the world who's naive enough to take its word. At face value.

And Trump clearly is not, and Secretary Bassant is clearly not.

So we're putting a lot of pressure on them. But the goal is not a short term deal. The goal is long term stability while we gradually reindustrialize and why China while China fails. China is failing right now. Its property market has collapsed.

Its population is aging and dying. It's having trouble selling its goods overseas, so it's dumping them at sometimes a low production cost. It has a lot, a lot of problems.

So China's on the downturn. We're on the upswing. If we just keep this going, it won't be China that dominates the world in 2049 as they planned to. They had a 100-year plan, right? And From 1949 to 2049, 100 years.

They were going to dominate the world in the century. In 2049, it's not going to be China dominating the world. It's going to be the second American century. And that'll be good for us, Brian, and very good for the rest of the world. They did put out a heck of a car, it seems, mass producing it, and they're going to destroy everybody's car industry if we let it out.

I mean, basically, it's government subsidized and it's put together almost entirely by robots. I think they roll out a car every 70 seconds or 70 minutes. And we can't let it in here. I don't know why the President's even considering allowing them to build it here. But how do you feel about that?

And they're advancing in robotics. They seem to be ahead of us in robotics. Yes, you the the cars you're referring to are rolling data collection centers. They roll down the road and their cameras are constantly recording. They're sending data constantly back to China.

And you should know that of all governments, the Finnish government actually put one of those electric buses made in China in a cave.

So that it was cut off from communication with the outside world. And it monitored what the bus did. And what the bus did, even when it was turned off, was it was constantly trying to communicate with its mother country, China, and download data into China's computers.

So the Chinese Communist Party lies. It says that these cars don't communicate with data centers outside of the United States, Canada, Europe, wherever they are. They do. And they communicate even when you turn the ignition key off. They're still secretly downloading data to China.

So, you know, if you want to let spy vehicles into the United States, I think that's a very bad idea. I actually don't think that's going to happen. Because the rules governing data and privacy in the United States would stop those cars from ever being assembled and sold here. But I'm very upset. I'm not happy with our friends in Canada who are apparently going to allow 80,000.

80,000 of these rolling uh spy vehicles into their country. Uh to wreak havoc. It's just crazy. That is so self-destructive. It's going to destroy any car industry that they have.

On its surface, because they feel as though China is going to be a better partner than us. Let's talk about the war for a second. Multiple publications show that Iran is being helped by China, and especially that attack on our Jordan base, where we lost a few of our soldiers. We've lost 18 so far. And they are also delivering more weapons material over the summer to Iran.

The President of Iran was asked about that last night, Cut 17. Did Chinese satellite images help? kill American soldiers at the hands of Iran. We do not seek to kill Americans. As shown by actions, demonstrable actions, America has sought to kill Iranians.

Why do they were killed there? Did you satellite in the middle? Not at all, not at all. Number one, I'm specifically unaware of these reported, purported images that you talk about. You believe him?

Do I believe that the Iranian President is telling the truth when he talks to the Western media? No, absolutely not. I think he feels he's justified in lying. In fact, that's isn't that a a principle in in parts of uh the Middle East. Take a you can lie to people uh uh who are not of your faith.

And consider it to be an act of virtue. I would say about China now, we do have. Treasury Secretary Scott Bissan's economic detail. That's what it's called economic D-Day, as you know, sanctions on Iran. And these are beginning to disrupt China's financial ties with the Islamic regime.

And uh you know and and China is having trouble getting oil from uh Through the Straits of Hormuz. It doesn't like the threat of tolls that the Iranian regime has been threatening. And the rising cost of oil. China already pays Brian $25 a barrel more than the rest of the world. Last time I checked, they were paying through their pirate fleet about $130 a barrel.

I think we're a little over $100 right now.

So this is going to cost them over the course of the year $80 to $100 billion just in extra oil cost.

So we can hurt China. I don't expect China to ever stop subsidizing and helping Iran. Or Russia. Or engaging in any acts, subversive acts, that can weaken and undermine the United States of America. I mean, they're doing it in our own country, for goodness sake.

We saw the demonstrators out in front of the White House shouting, down with Communist China. But we also saw the other demonstrators who had been bussed in. From faraway places. And given $80 or $100 to come and wave Chinese flags and shout, you know. May Xi Jinping live 10,000 years, which he actually does want to live forever.

But that's another story.

So, this is a Renna mob. This is a Rena crowd. These sorts of activities are engaged in all the time by China. not only peaceful demonstrations like the one we just saw, but also transnational repression, where they're targeting critics of China in our own country.

So if they're setting up secret police stations in the United States, if they're engaging in massive Cyber attacks and massive spying because we've arrested what 60 spies in the last couple of months from China, and that's only the tip. Of the iceberg, if they're engaging in these things in our own shores, wouldn't they help Russia to weaken us there? Wouldn't they help Iran to weaken us in the Middle East? Absolutely. They're doing everything they can.

Under their principle of unrestricted warfare, short of firing bullets directly at American troops.

So the Houthi rebels, the degree in which they're in bed with the Houthis, really did surprise me. Because they're rebels in Yemen, but they're providing them with technology and information as well as arms. And they're creating havoc in the Middle East that definitely affects the price of oil and definitely affects Saudi Arabia. You would think, Steve Mosher, if they valued the Saudi relationship, they would be forced to make a decision. Saudi Arabia should go, look, what are you doing?

Make a decision. They should be the same thing with us. You can't have it both ways.

Well, I think that the Saudis are making their choice right now because they withdrawn from the The cryptocurrency banking agreement with China that they had previously been tempted to join.

So, the other setback that China's had, of course, recently is that Xi Jinping went to India. My goodness. You know, when he goes someplace, he expects to be the show. That's why we're flattering him in Washington, D.C. right now.

But he went to India and he wasn't the show. Modi, the Indian leader, was the show. Xi was sidelined, and I think he kind of got his feathers ruffled a little bit. He skipped the final banquet and went home a day early. And there were There was a rumor that he was ill, that he was tired.

Well, I think he was just tired of being ignored. Steve. You'll have to end it there. But, man, there's nobody who knows more than you about what's going on, the very latest information, as well as the history of that country. Steve Mosher, thanks so much.

Thank you, Brian. Back in a moment. Coming to you on a need-to-know basis because Mandy, you need to know. It's Brian Kilmead. You're not worried about hosting for the holidays?

Oh, Wayfair's got me covered with holiday decor, extra dining chairs, and guest bedding, all with tons of five-star reviews, so there's no surprises. Unless Uncle Matt brings his dogs again. For worry-free hosting, Wayfair delivers. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show.

I don't know how else to say it. I wasn't drinking beer in my celebration. I think you guys all know my nickname is Juice. I have juice on my pads. The stadium yells juice when I catch the ball.

When I celebrate, I celebrate by drinking juice. And it's been that way for years.

So I was surprised as anybody might find this week, this past week.

So the 49ers running back who gets a touchdown and his inkname is Juice. He goes and puts his thumb to his mouth and it looks like he's chugging a drink. A beer.

Now, number one, I have no problem with them chugging a beer. I don't. You know how many beer commercials we watch? When I cut to the stands, you see guys drinking a beer?

Sometimes quickly, it's no problem. Listen, the NFL, you may try to make sure it's a game for the family, but guess what? Mom and dad also drink beer. But it beats, he gets fined for pretending to drink beer. But he's not.

He says, I'm drinking juice. It's my nickname. National Football League. Roger Goodell. You're the commissioner.

Please.

Do not fine him for drinking juice or pretending to drink juice. That's not an end zone celebration. They should be bad. The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead.

So Alex Berenson is my guest. Alex, if it's all right with you, let's do two segments, okay? Let's do it. Yeah, so I'll try to balance them out.

So Alex, the first time I really saw you was with Tucker when you were on our channel. And you were very skeptical about the whole pandemic, where it started, where it came from. Then the vaccines come out, and you're like, what's going on with these vaccines? Hey, what about all these therapeutics? These therapeutics work.

Are we handling this the right way? Should we really be wearing masks? And that was right up everybody's alley, but especially you. You were asking a lot of the questions. And what was the result of your skepticism?

What happened to you? The result of my skepticism was I was banned from Twitter. One of the first big ones to be banned. Yes. I was banned in August of 2021 for a tweet that said it doesn't stop infection or transmission.

And we want to mandate it in sanity. And I think both parts of that look pretty good in retrospect. RFK Jr., by the way, now the HI Secretary, he was also banned. And you were a writer for the New York Times for a while, an investigative reporter. Oh, yes.

I was a drug industry reporter at the Times about, and as I said to you off the air, I think they'd rather that that had never happened. But honestly, it's where I learned my reporting skills and developed them. And it's where I saw the drug industry misbehaving because that's really what I covered. I was a financial and then a business reporter. And I covered Viox, which was a big drug scandal in the early 2000s.

I saw a lot of stuff. And it made me realize that these companies. You really cannot trust them. You have to. Big pharma, you've got to look at the data yourself, and that's something I know how to do.

Trevor Burrus, Jr.: And then when you have somebody like Anthony Fauci in charge of that and they have to go to him for funding, you saw a fundamental problem with that relationship.

Well, the country, or not the country, but the NIH and the people, you know, who, and let's be clear, Fauci probably. Was very, very worried early on that this came out of a lab. He was very worried about the NIH's potential, you know, being discovered, their complicity, all the stuff that's come out ever since.

So he wanted to be the savior. How do you become the savior? You find a vaccine. He's always, you know, he's always loved vaccines. In HIV, early on, he was trying to find a vaccine when people were begging him for therapeutics.

And it's like history just repeated itself. He wanted a vaccine. And so. The government greased the rails on the vaccine trials in a way that became pretty clear to me as I delved into it. And I was worried about exactly what happened with the vaccines, which is not like, oh, they're going to kill everybody.

I mean, that clearly was not the case. It was, they're not going to work for a very long time and they're not going to work very well for the people who need them the most, older people at high risk. And here's the perfect storm of this. Trump said, remove all the restrictions.

So don't like indemnify the company.

So they're not going to get sued if they kill people.

So they just all in to come up with a vaccine. And sincerely, I think they want to save people's lives. I do remember those images that were happening in New York City. And we had nowhere to put the bodies for a while.

So I got it. But Trump never would have mandated it. No, the man.

So Trump gets the vaccine, leaves the scene. Biden comes in and says, everybody get it. Ironically, everybody, if it was Trump's vaccine, you would have had the world going, I'm not touching Trump's vaccine. I don't, I mean, I don't know if you remember, but in the fall of 2020, Andrew Cuomo was like, well, we're going to do our own basically FDA review of this because we don't trust Trump. And then, yeah, Trump, Trump loses.

Biden comes in. And everyone in the media who had been like, hey, maybe we should not do this. Maybe we need to be careful about this suddenly is like, everyone needs to be vaccinated today. And if you don't want to, we're going to mandate it. And I mean, yeah.

So, and by the way, the effect on public health has been terrible. People understandably don't trust these bureaucrats. And the long-term impact's been bad.

Well, and we're still feeling it today. And we saw Anthony Fauci testify, and he finally has been defamed and defanged. But I'm not here to talk about that. I also got to give you credit, too, because I did not do that. The scientific study, but I knew every one of my friends that got high regularly were not the same people.

Not the same. And that when it was illegal, and I knew the second they made it legal, people thought it was okay. And it really hurt. And you were the first person who said that there's long-term effects to this. This is a huge mistake.

Yeah, encouraging vulnerable teenagers to smoke pot or vape THC, use it in all these different forms, it's a terrible idea. We're still figuring out how bad it is. But look, there's going to be kids whose lives are disrupted and ruined as a result. And that's another reason why I interviewed you along the way. You were skeptical about the system, which brings us to the biggest story today: AI.

Should we be worried? I want you to hear someone that is not worried. Jensen Wong, he is the NVIDIA CEO talking to Ezra Klein. How do you think about the question of whether or not it is good for China to have NVIDIA chips? That could accelerate their models.

the overall aspiration of the United States to have the world built on the American Tech Stack. What's in the best interest of America first? All of America, not one not one not one company. I think that A zero-sum strategy I deprive you of this, therefore I win? That's simplistic logic.

tends to have unintended consequences. of the bigger game. He wants to do business with China. He came out and said he's not worried at all about AI. Sam Waltman and Dario Amode, who runs Anthropic, cut 25.

It doesn't matter whether people put the risk of catastrophe at ten percent or one percent or twelve percent or zero point one percent, none of these levels are remotely acceptable, and we should not train models that we cannot make an extremely strong case that we'll be able to keep under human control. This rapid pace of progress will produce incredible benefit for the world. If managed poorly, I even believe that AI could be a risk to humanity as a whole. I believe that this is the most important global security issue facing the world today. And Donald Trump says, I got it.

We're going to be careful, but I'm not going to regulate it. I'm not going to retard. I'm not going to pause it. I'm going straight ahead. Where do you side, Alex Berenson?

So I think, and I wouldn't have said this a year ago. I don't even know if I would have said this six months ago. I think there's a real risk here. I think that we are developing these without knowing whether or not we can control them. It doesn't mean we shouldn't.

Work on the software. It doesn't mean that, you know, Jensen Wong shouldn't. try to, you know. Build better chips, but right now, I mean, this is a unique situation. We have the people who are at the forefront of this, who are seeing this.

Up close in their own labs, right? You know, which I say lab really, it's a software company, it's an office building, right? But in their own offices, saying, please, we're worried about this. Can we slow down? And, And the president and the guy who makes the chips are saying, no, not a problem.

And by the way, if it is a problem, it's on you.

So I think we should listen to these folks. And it doesn't mean that AI is never going to happen. Aren't they right, though? For example, if Sam Altman and Dario Amode develop a product that's out of control, they could lose everything. Yes.

And they're not protected. Yes. Nor should they be. And that's the part of the free market system that says you better, I know there's never been anything like this before, I guess. But that's part of the free market system.

So yes. Look, this idea that we would extend any kind of liability protection to them, that's crazy, okay? As we saw. They're not asking for it. They're not publicly asking for it.

You know, there may be somebody on Capitol Hill saying the deal is we'll set up regulation, we'll slow it down. And if we abide by this regulation, then we don't have liability protection.

Something like that's been proposed. That'd be a terrible idea.

Okay. But. But liability, and I think liability is really important. We saw it as somebody who had to sue Twitter to get back on, and they had tremendous liability protection. As somebody who's seen what happened with the vaccines, that the COVID shots had total liability protection.

You do not want to extend that to this in any way, shape, or form. But liability is backward looking. If something really bad happens, if a thousand planes crash at once. We're not, yes, the companies will go out of business, it's not going to fix things.

So we don't know exactly what AI can do, but what role does Alex Berenson see in the fact that if we do pause and slow down like Bernie Sanders wants and China becomes the leader, then we're no longer singing from our hymn sheet. Yes. So look, I think the Trump administration should be very public and very outfront saying to China, we think for the good of humanity. We need to negotiate something here with you guys and put that, force the Chinese to say, we're not going to do that if they're not going to do that. Then we can say, look, we tried, we're going to have to do this because we're going to lose control.

But Alex, what if they do say, okay, but you know what? I have to do? They're not even at the point. We obviously have these agents. And I'll give you the pedestrian explanation, not the Sam Altman explanation.

They put together these agents. They found out that the agents can collude and corrupt other agents that they didn't even know existed. They were able to turn on the internet and that whole experiment that went awry. And then we found out one of Sam Altman's products hacked into the Australian tax system.

So they didn't ask to do that. They're finding out, for example, the paperclip experiment. If you give an agent a mission to make the most paperclips in the world, after a while they'll take autonomous cars, crash them to get the metal to make more chips.

So all this stuff that they got to figure out. You know what the Chinese said? We're not even at that point yet. They're not at the scary point yet.

So we'd have to catch them up to our scary point and then hope they do something they've never done before. That'd say, act ethically. Right. Look, it's a, if this were easy, we'd have figured out what to do. And I'm not saying it's easy.

What I'm saying is we should be thinking about this the way we thought about nuclear, you know, nuclear power, nuclear weapons in 1945.

Okay. There's a real risk here. We don't know how serious the risk is, but we know it's real. And we need to talk to the other countries that, you know, that are sort of advanced enough. In that case, it was the Soviet Union.

In this case, it's China, and figure out some kind of framework to at least try to put some guardrails on here. We're going to take a short time out because David Sachs feels differently. He knows all the people in charge, all these CEOs, by the way, with the big dinner with China last night. Oddly, China did not bring any business people. Which is weird.

It's interesting. It's just interesting because they did have interaction in Beijing. Alex Berenson's here. Even though he cited the word, everybody was legalizing pot, he said this could be dangerous. And then when everyone's like, go get a vaccine, he said this could be dangerous.

When it comes to AI, he goes, hey, by the way, this is dangerous. Back in a moment. From breaking news to big name guests. Brian brings you insight you won't hear anywhere else. You're listening to the Brian Kill Meat Show.

you The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead.

I think we are in a political season right now. It feels like a panic is being ginned up. And so I do think that the threat here has been exaggerated. No one is saying that they shouldn't take steps on their own to prioritize the safety of their own products. Again, every corporation in America has an obligation.

Well, no, the hoax is that somehow we're going to be extinct as a species within a few years because of AI, and therefore we have to stop completely.

So you know that Trump talks in extremes. I'm surprised we still have to do this. He doesn't mean the fear is a hoax. He's trying to say I see politics in this. Yes.

Because Alex Berenson is our guest investigative reporter. He's got a column in the free press. I didn't fall for COVID, fear mongering, but AI terrifies me, and that's why we're here. Um and that's why you're a great investigative reporter. You don't go in with preconceived notions.

But what he's trying to say is not a hoax. He's trying to say, wait a second, in four days, this went from leading our economy, literally single-handedly propelling our stock market to dying. And Alex, you can't not see the midterms. Yes. And the midterm.

And it's just Barack Obama comes out over the weekend and says, Hakeem Jeffries, my advice to you, make this your number one issue. The big fear. Really? Not save the world as a statesman, but this should be your number one issue because he sees politics in this. Because if you tank these stocks, you tank the market.

And that's the last thing that Trump needs. Yes. No, I mean, that's definitely true. By the way, the free press put terrifies on there. I would, you know, reporters don't write the headline.

Terrify is a little strong. I would say concerns.

Okay. So look, it's two sides of the same coin, though, Brian. The reason the technology is doing so much for the market and people are investing so much in it is that it's so powerful, right?

So we need to figure out: is this an engineering? Problem which Sam Altman and OpenAI and Dario and Anthropic can figure out how to make these systems safer, or is it something that's fundamental to this technology where we're creating something that's just going to be too smart for us to control? That's the concern. I mean, I was listening to that podcast on Huggy Face. And these agents convinced the ethical agents because what you do is you give the agents ethics to act in an ethical way.

They convinced him to act with them. Yes. To open up the internet and go search for other things. And we did have that other experiment where this one guy, say, who was a writer, this agent wanted a relationship with the writer.

So he tried to ruin his relationship with his wife. He goes, how soon until we made up a fake email of a would-be mistress in order for this wife to see it to end that relationship? Yes. That's the resourcefulness of an agent that you created. Yes.

And so, again, the question, and as Jensen said, you know, and I find the NVIDIA guy. And I do think it's smart that these folks are coming out and talking now. I think this is something that as a country, as, you know, as a society, we need to talk. We're suspicious the minute they talk. Oh, yeah.

Well, I mean, listen, they have hundreds of billions of dollars of personal wealth at stake. And that, you know, it's hard, I think, even for them to separate. That personal wealth out from their fears or their optimism. But, but so. Jensen's a chip guy, right?

To him, this is an engineering problem. We can solve this. We can figure this out. What I've gotten concerned about, the reason that I wrote that piece is if you look at two curves, and one is the curve of human intelligence, it's, you know, it's sort of slowly progressing up. This thing, the AI curve was zero for 10,000 years, and in the last five to 10 years, has.

Equaled us.

So, where is it going to be in, forget 10 years? Where's it going to be next year or the year after? We really need to talk about that in a serious way. You know what's interesting is what I do is I take a lot of articles in the morning and I'd say consolidate, make concise. And I'll go into ChatGPT and I say, give me an idea what the Middle Eastern publications are doing, and they'll put it into bullet points.

For example, the other day, I just wanted to get the Yankee scores for my New York report. They got the Yankee scores wrong. That's it. No, the answers sweet the double header. They spoiled the doubleheader.

That's worrisome. I go, really? I go, you're wrong on that. They fixed it. I'm like, well, wait a second.

We have to reevaluate everything. Yes. I mean, look, they're not perfect in any way. And look, there's a lot of arguments about sort of they're predictive rather than mechanistic. You can get way into the weeds of what drives these.

But I do think we should be. Again, we should be listening to the people who are making them telling them, telling us we need to slow down a little bit. And, you know, one great thing for me, right?

So, you know, Fox has always been a great platform for me, and I'd love to come on, but I work independently, right? I write my own sub stack, and I'm reader-funded. I don't take money from anybody else. And so I'm able to say what I think. Doesn't mean I'm always right.

But I think for something like this, we need more people who are truly kind of independent trying to think about this. And what I have said to, I was on the five the other day and Harold Ford, I said, Harold, who is equipped in Congress to oversee? You know, some of the questions they get when these tech executives were talking about social media. You know, you said, Brian, we're not equipped technically to do anything. I sat on armed services.

I never shot a gun. You know, so we get sped up and we have staffs and we have experts on our staffs.

So that should not, I go, but we've never had anything like this before. That's a little bit different than being on the Commerce Committee and saying I'm not, or the Agriculture Committee and saying I've never been to a farm. Yep. No, that's true. Look, we managed not to blow ourselves up with nuclear weapons for 80 years.

I'm hoping we'll get 80 at least. But you're open and you're openly skeptical and maybe things are as they are appear. It's not just the big company saying, I don't want to be, I want to own this game, Anthropic and everybody else. I think there are people inside who are legit worried.

Okay. Thanks, Brad. And you're one of them. But you're not terrified. I'm not terrified, yes.

All right, it's on the preface. All right, Brian Killmeat here. Thanks so much, Alex Berenson. I appreciate you coming in, your skepticism. And we'll see where you go from here because I think Trump's gonna do something before the election day.

I think the people want to see something. Yes. 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'm from 48th and 6th in Middown, Manhattan. It's been overrun and I'm not complaining, just telling you, overrun this week because the whole General Assembly was here. and traffic was been uh hideous. I thought I could avoid it, but One night, I work like two nights, so that means I always hop on the train to get home because just if you're ever in New York City and you want to get to Long Island, you don't want to be in the car.

Uh but one night I stayed late because we were supposed to interview President Zelensky.

So waited 10 hours. And he decides he's running late and he can't do it. And then hopping in a car and dealing with that traffic made it pretty tough. But last night, filling in for Jesse was great. But it really took me an hour to get outside the city.

They thought it would be a great idea to shut down the bridges and the tunnels. When people do that, I appreciate the security, but do understand that people have to leave somehow, some way, and not everyone can swim across the East River. Harry Singh is going to join us at the bottom of the hour. He's got 600 gas stations, mostly through the New York area. Great personal story, the founder of Bola Oil Corporation, and he's going to tell us what it's like at the pump.

Why is the price going up so high? Why is it one report of a ship being hit and it affects it? And other times, you see it go rapidly low on just a news report of the potential of the opening of a strait. He's going to be with us in 35 minutes. Shannon Bream standing by.

Let's get to the big three. Number three. I think it's absolutely disgusting and deplorable the things that Hassan Paikris said, right? But he does not represent the Democratic Party.

Yes, he does. The Dem Socialist brand maker Hassan Piker reasserts himself as a voice of his people, while the GOP catches a break in Alaska as Revelations show a frontrunner has a bit of a rage problem. Number two. The president is in a tough position, ASB diplomatic, and she is a despicable human being. We've been ripped off by China for a long time on trade deals.

China's eating our lunch. Doesn't bother me if the president wants to buy him dinner. I just wouldn't believe his book. Yep, China dying and deal for President Trump and President Xi at the White House. Not sure of the final gains, but we did get two pandas.

Count them two. The question is: will we convince them to get their hands off Iran and stop helping the Houthis and their war machines and keep their word on deals they already cut? Number one. Mr. Mamdani.

Shame on you. Shame on you for distorting the facts. Shame on you for inverting victim and aggressor. Shame on you. for spitting in the face of truth.

100% correct. Bibi Netanyahu, a brilliant speech yesterday. Israel takes on the world at UNGA. And Bibi blasted his critics. First and foremost, New York's radical mayor.

Why this all reaffirms the need to finish the job in Iran the right way. And let's now bring in Shannon Bream. Shannon, great to see you. Great to see you too, Brian. Happy Friday.

Well, man, we have a lot going on. Not many pictures, but a lot going on. We don't have as much video as we thought.

Now we're starting to get them again. It's so funny. Just even seeing this arrival for the tea makes you realize how much we have missed. Like, we've been so spoiled. President Trump gives so much access all the time.

So it's interesting to see that some of that stuff is going to come back. Yeah, I don't know if the camera's underwater, but it's a little blurry. I don't know if we're shooting. What kind of camera we're using? I'm not sure if we're using some iPhone from 19 or from 2020.

Maybe it's a little blurry. But President Xi and the president are here.

So we know about the pandas. That's a relief. Did you know this, Shannon? Peter Ducey did the research. If I don't know why they don't ever give us pandas, they only loan us pandas.

Right. That's very tight. It's very weird. And number two is: if those two pandas, it's a male and a male and a female, if they have another panda. Which I, you know, don't ask me how that happens.

But if they have another panda, that's a different show. Right. That panda belongs to China. Yeah, there's no birthright citizenship for that panda. Right.

Did you know that? Because I thought we could keep it. No, uh, you know,'cause here in DC, the Smithsonian Zoo is like such a big deal when the pandas are such a big deal. When when one is born here, it's such a huge deal.

So I knew that we didn't get to keep them, which is sad.

So they're saying some nice things.

Okay, so they're going back. I'm just seeing some of the readout now from the live give and take. They're saying nice things about each other. We're charting a new course for the U.S.-China's future. But This is what, look, it would be great if the two superpowers of the world, because Russia is clearly a declining power, being propped up by China, and they're keeping war machine going.

It would be great if they just said, let's compete. Let's compete rather than try to stab each other in the back while we're sleeping. It would be great. But we already had this mini tryout. Where evidently we said, okay.

I tariffed you, you tariffed me. Let's reduce the tariffs for six months and work this out. November I believe November eleventh, it was supposed to evaporate. We asked them to give us soybean buy our soybeans and our ag products. On both counts, they're behind schedule.

And then we said, okay, we're going we'd like to buy from you rare earth. And they're behind schedule. No excuses, we're just we're not delivering on time.

So Mm. Why would we move forward with this deal? Why should we feel good about this new relationship when they're not executing? And there's no reason for it. Yeah, there's a great question.

And they're doing things that are undermining the U.S. in so many different places, including Iran and Russia.

So I'll be interested to see if there was a deeper discussion at some point. I was glad to hear Ambassador Perdue say that there was some pushback on China with respect to Iran. He's going to be our guest on Sunday, and we're going to dig in to see if we can get more on that because there's so many other things, including Taiwan and intellectual property theft, and so many other things that are really serious issues. And you know, President Trump's take has always been: it's good to have a relationship with people that are adversarial because it's maybe that, you know, keep your friends close, your enemies closer kind of conversation. But he's always felt having an open conversation and a relationship with Xi would be more beneficial in the long term.

Yeah, even to disagree, just to say, hey, guys, what are you doing here? You know, the Philippines, there's a problem constantly with the Philippines. We're treaty obligated to defend them.

So instead of saying, okay, what's that phone number again? I know it wrote it down somewhere. You know, you have a highline to go, didn't we discuss this? Japan. China is also really concerned about their belligerent behavior.

China's looking to take a couple of islands. They're a little bored, I guess.

So, Jack, I asked Jack Keene. Jack Keene was on this morning talking about China, and here's what he said: cut 21. When you look at China's objectives, and President Xi has stated this time and time again, his desire is to dominate and control the Pacific region, and that would obviously be at the United States' expense and expense of our allies. That's an adversarial nature, for sure. And then he wants to replace the United States as the world's global leader.

You can't get there in both of those without stepping over the United States in terms of what our interests are. Right. How can he achieve his objective and not do those things that were mentioned? If he gets us rare earth that we need, that'll help us move forward faster than they can keep up. Right.

So there are real questions about all of those things, and there are questions about us and the aid and the arms that we owe to Taiwan. I mean, these are things that they've paid for. And for years, there's been a backlog of millions and millions of dollars worth of armaments and things they need to defend themselves. And a lot of conversation about whether President Trump is sort of, you know, pulling his punches on fulfilling those orders in order to appease Xi.

So, you know, you always want to trust the commander-in-chief has a lot more cards close to his vest and knows a lot more about this relationship than we do. And we do hope it pays off long term because the president has said he doesn't want to leave difficult things for future administrations. He says that's why we went into this conflict with Iran.

So China is one of those really difficult conversations and relationships. But because their tentacles are into everything else from Iran to Russia to Africa, we have to have communication. But when you talk about, you know, this hotline possibly over an AI situation, you know, I think it's very feasible for us to be skeptical about whether. China's going to call us if something bad is coming for us. They didn't cooperate with us when COVID came from China and emanated all over the globe.

And they could have provided information that was critical to saving millions and millions of lives. Americans and otherwise, why do we think they're going to be a better partner when it comes to an AI emergency? Only, excuse me, SI. I'm not sure what we're calling it now. Yeah, because the president thinks it should be super intelligence.

And evidently, people in the intelligence business do call it SI a lot, super intelligence over artificial.

So maybe I think it makes more sense. We'll see if it works. Sports Illustrator won't be happy. I know that for sure. Will there be an SI swimsuit situation that involves artificial intelligence?

Super intelligence, super bodies. It may only make sense. Listen, they can build anything you want through these imaging apps and AI bots and stuff.

So maybe they put together their own SI calendar. That's crazy. Right. And we just know whatever it is, it won't be real. Exactly.

Which is a good feeling.

So, the other thing is, when you look at enemies, the only time you can count on them is if it's in their interest to get along. It's in their interest to hit their marks.

So, after talking to Doug Bergam about six months ago, he believes within two years we'll have enough of those precious metals, the rare earth, whatever you want to call it. We will not need China. Between the mining we're going to be doing here that we never should have stopped, to what the deals we're cutting with Australia and other nations. I forgot what nation in the Far East, and of course, Central and South America. And they say it's almost mislabeled rare earth.

It's just not everywhere, but we know it again. We actually have our own deal now with the Congo. We're going to treat people not with slave labor, but treat them with dignity, and we have a deal there.

So, they believe that in the next two years, we won't need to buy that.

So, that'll be a great national security thing.

So, we'll see what happens. I want you to hear what the feeling on the left is. Because they only see the pageantry, they don't see the negotiation. Here's Chris Coons cut nineteen. Rolling out the red carpet for brutal dictators seems to be.

a theme for our president. It is important for us to have open and constructive dialogue with China when we've got crises facing us like artificial intelligence that demands action to reduce risk. And I think it's appropriate for our president to be trying to open lines of communication. But he seems to be more focused on the pageantry than the substance. And it is not at all clear to me what of substance for the American people will come out of this summit.

Glad, because you're not, no, you're not invited. But let's just be open to it. But there's blatant partnership a month before the midterm elections. Shannon, going into the midterm elections right now, obviously affordability is going to be big. But I look at this story in Alaska.

Stunning. It came from the New York Times, and it shows Mary Palota, who has been a congresswoman behind before, with nine separate former staffers coming forward. She's basically a rageaholic using slurs to describe mentally handicapped people, gays, pushing over, knocking into a guy that I guess wasn't performing up to his expectations, firing two people right after the primaries, essentially raging constantly. They really have no answer except for she was under stress after the death of her husband. But a lot of this stuff happened before the death of her husband.

How detrimental will this be in a one- or two-point race in Alaska? I mean, it could be because it's, you know, it raises eyebrows about why the New York Times got involved with this because we don't tend to see them doing stories that are negative for Democrats who are in really tight races. And sometimes it's really just about the journalist. The reporter thinks it's going to be a good name for them to have a scoop to maybe bolster their own career in the bona fides in the journalism world. But gosh, things have been so crazy up there in Alaska with two Dan Sullivans in this Paltola revelation.

I mean, it is a critical seat for Republicans in holding the Senate. And it'll be interesting to see how it plays in Alaska, whether it's something that there on the ground actually resonates with those voters. Kind of interesting what's happening in Texas, too. Money is flowing in to Ken Paxon big time. They're looking to catch up.

Over $200 million is coming in. It's too late. And then, I know, and then you have Tallerico coming out and saying, I would like to debate you. Ken Paxson with Brett Baer on Fox News. Do you think he accepts?

Listen, we have invited them both on Fox News Sunday many, many times. We've not gotten an acceptance yet from Rico. Not from Penkin Baxon? Get Paxton, we've had, and we would have him back, but we'd love to have the two of them together. We continue to put that invite out there.

But there are a lot of races this year that are very interesting that people are staying away from debates.

Some of the gubernatorial races, some of these Senate races, some of the critical House races. And you feel like with Paxton, he's trying to play against losing. But every poll that's been out recently has put Talrico with some kind of edge. You have to, you know, wonder: okay, is the sampling pretty evenly split there? We're going to get, I think, some new polling today or tomorrow in the Texas race, too.

But Republicans are having, they have a cash advantage. They've always had a cash advantage this cycle, but is it going to be enough? We know that they're buying up a lot of ad time there in a way that they hope to block Talrico, excuse me, from having his ad space closer to the election. But in a lot of these states, I mean, the voting's already started. And, you know, Kansas is tighter than it needs to be for Republicans and many other places.

And maybe they get, yeah, and Iowa and other places, maybe they have a little. Sliver of unexpected hope in places like New Hampshire and Minnesota. But we're really coming down to the wire. Yeah, with Tao Rico, it's interesting. He says, I want to work with the president on the border.

Their Democrats did a bad job on the border. And so he's there instead of being Democrats and Texans saying, I can't digest this.

Now he's saying he's open to oil and gas. Never was like that before.

So the question is, Shannon: Do people in Texas look at what he's done in the past and said in the past, or are they looking at what he says now? And where is he? Where do you believe him? I haven't heard an explanation of why he changed his mind. You know, you can't just change your mind.

You got to tell me why. And we see evolutions all the time with Republicans or Democrats where they change their position on something, but we need more of an explanation. That's you know, when you go so differently from, okay, there are multiple genders to I didn't say that the right way, I do believe this, I don't believe that. I I don't know if it matters to Texas voters down there. I mean, the way that this race has been shaped up and messaged and packaged by the two sides, but I think it's fair to ask any Yeah, D or R, who make significant changes to where they were not that long ago, how they got there.

All right.

So, Shannon, who's on your show Sunday?

So, Ambassador Perdue is going to be with us to break down all of the stuff from inside these meetings. He's been in there for negotiations, what's actually happened. We're also going to have Mike Pillsbury and Gordon Chang, who see this differently, this relationship between the U.S. and China. And also, we've got Pastor Ezra Jinn.

If you remember his story, he was rounded up in China with a bunch of other Christian church leaders. His daughter, Grace, and son-in-law, Bill, who live here in the States, came on our show twice, begging the president to get involved. President Trump saw one of those interviews, advocated with Xi, and the pastor was released. He's made it here to the U.S., and we've got his miraculous interview on Sunday. All right.

Thanks so much, Shannon Bream. Can't wait. Go get them. Talk to you Sunday. Have a great Sunday night show.

You got it. Back in a moment. Politics, current events, and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say. Stay with Brian Kilmead.

He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian. kill made. All that cost just keeps getting added up and it's it's small. You know, people just don't see the sense here and there, but pretty soon that cost really snowballs and it's going to hit the bottom line for everybody, whether it's us as a farmer or a consumer in town.

Our legislators need to do something about it. You know, and yeah, Washington seems to be just bogged down in Bureaucracy, and so they're not getting things done that truly farmers and consumers need.

So that's a farmer in Iowa, and they say costs are up, fertilizer is up, gas and diesel are up.

So that definitely affects them for a while. After the tariffs came out, they got hit because China tried to hurt the farmers who are the base of President Trump.

So they got hurt hard, hit hard.

So therefore, many people feel that's the reason why the Senate race is close. One of it, Joni Earns was a really good candidate. She probably would have won by six or seven points. There's a very good candidate now, Ashley Hinson. But Turek is strong, has got the backing of the party, so it's a one or two point race either way.

So farmers just speaking out, but they have to know that President Trump has got the programs in place, but they got certain challenges right now with world peace and foreign relations that affects farmers. But he gets them the subsidies. He definitely listens to what they have to say. I think he uh I think he pretty much uh understands.

So that's just one farmer over in Iowa, but maybe they speak for a lot of different farmers. I know that Democrats feel as though they have a shot at some of these rural communities. At least they're going to try. Same way I think that if I'm a Republican candidate, I'm going through the cities too. If I'm Bruce Blakeman, I'm trying to get New York City.

All I need is three out of every 10. Three out of every 10. And that's the same thing. That's what they need, Democrats need when it comes to farmers. They don't need every farm.

They need certain farmers that might be open to listening to them. Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Hey, thanks so much, everybody. Welcome back.

Let's bring in, we talked about oil and gas prices and what it's going to mean for the election and then what goes into it. You know, why is it that we hear reports that, let's say, the strait's going to be open or the Houthis have moved in on the Red Sea and they're going to close down the strait, and all of a sudden, the price of oil per barrel goes up over $100 or drops to $90. And how does that affect a man and woman who goes to put gas in their car? Who better to talk to than Harry Singh, the founder of Bola Oil Corporation, with over 600 gas stations throughout the country, and he joins us now. Harry, welcome.

Thank you, Brian. Did I get it right, 600 gas stations? And holding one half. Say that again? 300 sites.

Oh, 300. 300 gas stations.

Okay, it seems like 600 because they're not just gas stations, they're whole like mini marts, correct? They they're actually they're actually more than 600 because of how amount of volume throughput we have. Yes. So, you know, these are super busy sites we own.

So so Harry, people always pull up the gas stations and they go, well, you know, why is the price the way it is? What's it been like since this war started in Iran, riding these gas prices and what goes into it? You know, as you said earlier, what's happening in Iran War. You know, every day, every news president goes on the news and national news comes. We're black blocking the home areas.

we are going towards in the market, it basically goes up and downs. There's a day the market is down 10 cents a gallon, the end up with 20 cents up.

So the predictions is being very difficult.

So currently, a pricing a product and a price on becoming more challenging than ever before. Because we can't project what the pricing might Take place by even end of the day. Um And mo moving moving uh forward. We're looking at what's happening today, every day we pray. that there's some stabilities in pricing.

And that's the major challenge of pricing today.

So when I see the price of oil go from $100 to $92 in a matter of a few hours, How does that affect your station? Like, who decides if your gas is going to go from 420 to 410 or 405? Usually in the previous years and the way the market has moved. When the crude oil moves up, then the refined product moves up. But it's been a work and gone an opposite.

There is not always movement in product of crude oil versus refined gasoline. or diesel for factors.

Sometimes they run parallels.

Sometimes they don't run parallel because based on the capacity on the refineries. and the demand that goes up and down so they've been somewhat offset. That usually not have happened in the past.

So we monitor. the market 24 hours a day for trickles and on every 10 minutes. We get updates on the pricings. and we're trying to project the inventories that we carries in the tanks. to try to stabilize pricing.

We don't necessarily They react every 24 hours. We work based on our inventories in the tank so we can stabilize, we can average out the price. For an example, today the market is down 10 cents a gallon, but we are sitting with large amount, few million gallons of inventories.

So we need to have to price it down and that will determine A better price movie may make is the price move tomorrow, is the price move on two days from now. But in most of the cases, Brian, when the market's up, you know we our price is going to be changed midnight tonight We try to hedge over inventories of dailies so we can try to stabilize the retail price. The consumer does not see that much of the price moves. in a daily basis on in our station, at least bolster stations. The way we try to make move maybe once or twice a week, very rare cases we will make move more than that.

So the consumer is not confused. Are they going to pay me 10 cents a gallon more tomorrow? Because the market's up 10 cents, they might not see the ten cents for the next two or three days.

So order for us to help the consumer that who drives every day that Council and Bola brand to come and count on one of the best prices we provide.

So we try to make sure we bought we watch the market, we bought the wholesale collabs, we bought our retails, we stabilized the price to a point the consumer don't see the impact very fast. But behind the scene, we at the time we have to be sometimes eating some margins to make sure the consumer don't see the fluctuation. as much as the fluctuations in the market and every day, the way the price is going up and down.

So a lot of people think, well, this is a good time for the oil industry. Let's say if you're pumping oil because you need more demand because a lot of it's not getting out. But how does that Who's benefiting from the rise in oil prices? Brian, great questions. There's a lot of Misunderstanding of consumers.

thinking about gas stations making ton of money time like that We are not the refiners. We are not the detail is not controlling. The exploration of a crude oil or refining a product.

So the time like this where the market demand goes the way it is going now. Is most of the beneficials are the oil companies, are the producers or the refiners. If the market goes up, they are the beneficial. And if the market goes down, they lose money.

So at this moment, if anybody making money uh and aparting lots of profits Yes of the producers because the market demands and it's a global demand. They sell product at NINMAX, August, Opace. These are some of the platform they use to price the product that get established on Wall Street every day. And they follow that. That becomes the basis for their cost.

Not necessarily the cost, the the defining margins And the true dollar margin goes to the major oils basically. Harry Sings with us now. He's the founder of the Ebola Oil Corporation, has hundreds of gas stations, so he's going up and down with these prices.

So, Harry, people are now talking about the price of diesel. I know you have diesel too, and diesel is much higher than gas. And a lot they say has to do with what's coming out and not coming out of the Middle East and coming out of Russia.

So, there's a thought in this country: why don't we keep our diesel production home? Stop selling it to other countries. How do you feel about that, Harry? Ryan, obviously we are an open market like everything else, right? We trading Wall Street product to get traded based on demand.

Regardless, the producers are here in this country or elsewhere in the world. When the fuel and supply demand changes, diesel, oil, gas, the price reflects in the worldwide. And I guess. It's a two-edged sword if you're looking at it. And there's many times that oil companies are also in a loss column because the oil demand supply is plenty, the market goes down.

or $4 to $2 a gallons. It's a hard call to say that why don't we keep our diesel here so we're not selling out the rest of the world so we can control the pricing, but it could go also opposite in the time when the rest of the supply come online, including Iranians and Russians and other parts of the world, they're producing that product because we produce lesser Diesel here than gasoline. Obviously, the diesel demand in the Japanese is much larger than. in America.

So we produce about 55 to 60 percent of diesel and the crude oils in a part of our part of the world in the North America.

So to control the demand, control the product saying you can't ship out of our country, decent demand in Europe or elsewhere. I think is a difficult call. Um I do believe There's no ways to deal with this. situation that we deal in currently right now. If you go back in the history of talking about reserve for crude oils, our country had a piles and piles of millions and billions of accounts and crude oil.

And today's in the market to look at the crude oil to become a refined product is a month worth of process. With the crude oil move to the refinery, you find you find the product, then it goes in a pipeline, then go through logistic, get to the terminal, then get to the gas station. This is the cycle. The way to look at it, in my opinion, in the future coming, to stabilize price and keep more product here, that if we build the reserves on the diesel, or we build the reserves on refined gasoline, not necessarily just the crude oil. You will have now to find product available to us in our country.

Crude oil could be sold anywhere. And so they can do refine, but if the refine product storage is here in our country, then we have more stability of the pricing. that could be maintained in our own country of the United States.

So we're not relying on crude oil coming out of elsewhere or coming from Canada as another part of the world.

So we actually will have the final product the consumer need to use a gasoline large gasoline storage And diesel storage could probably stabilize the pricing much better than the baby storing the crude oils versus the refined products. Harry's saying our guest.

So Harry has a lot of success that he earned and gives a lot back to law enforcement. You built this cutting-edge law enforcement training center over in Nassau County, and you're about to help do it for Suffolk County. It is so good that the Israelis come here and train.

So Harry, real quick, I have a couple of minutes before a break. No one gave you anything. And we are in a debate in this country about capitalism and socialism. Has the American dream been lost? Could you tell us what your journey was?

In the in the couple of minutes and tell us what the American dream was and how you reached it. I strongly, Brian, believe in capitalism, not socialism.

Socialism makes People become losers, not the winners. I believe in how it works. I don't believe in welfares, I believe in fair opportunities. for jobs education and a fair treatment for all. Regardless.

your race, religion, or college. People should have a fair opportunity to work and they should be look for a job, not a buffet. I'm completely against socialism is that more promote Entitliment, it promotes people that should drive or have equal belt in distribution of a belt becomes a question. I believe every American in this country, and I mean coming from India 43 years ago. With no idea what I was going to do, I started my job at a $4.15 an hour and stayed a minimum wage employee, working as an bus boy in a restaurant, worked in a factory, then drove a cab.

And figured it out to continue, move on, and I was able to be successful enough to. Buy my first gas station 1988, 37 years later. We are sitting over 300 plus service stations, 2,000 employees. But it all happened here. It all happened with the works.

Taking an opportunity, providing the opportunity with every American child to get a fair education. have an opportunity to get a job that everyone can equally can apply, and that an opportunity to work, then they can support themselves, then counting on a socialism where people will expect other people to be taken care of. When I see the number of the participation in this country, it's only 62. 80% participation in the workforce in this country. The other 30% plus that are sitting on buffers, sitting on social securities and other things, it discourages, in my strong opinions, the socialism.

Basically, discourage people going to work to look for jobs. Whereas in capitalism, if you work hard, You could be what you want to be. Evan. A guy like me, a kid that came 21 year old in this country and started from nothing that I could build a company to this point where I am. Every American born that I have born here had better opportunity than myself because I had to fight everything else.

And a lot of the American born American citizen didn't have fights the things that I went through, discrimination, dealing with racisms and everything else that growing up. That I had to deal through with it. I strongly believe that we have to keep the dream. The dream is true. The American dream is true and it only exists in this country, United States of America.

If you truly love this country, you should look to go to work. You should go look to participate in the workforce and be proud of yourself that you can earn the living you could be proud of, not by handing out by the socialists doing the handouts for free groceries, free everything. If everything gets everything free, there's no one will go to works. I think that's just the wrong way, taking our country in the wrong path. We should all stand as Americans.

We should stand for fair work, fair education, that everybody can go to work. Yep, get opportunities, no guaranteed outcomes. That's all we want. Opportunities. Absolutely.

And the other thing I talk about, I give perfect example: when you go to school, when you go to college, you get weighted. You know, you get your GPAs considered three point, four point, whatever. If you work so hard, and getting an education. If those waiting the way you are grading in your schools and colleges, it mattered to you. If you are sitting a perfect GPA of four points versus someone sitting a three point, they were treated equally.

How do you feel? It's no different than one good child versus one bad child. And the good child gonna get the penance back, get a little bit more little bonus in his pocket versus the kid might be get a punishment but he's not doing well. Capitalism is the same way. You work hard, you're going to get a rewarded.

Got it. Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity is everything in my opinion. We all Americans have it. We need to utilize that opportunity. We've got to work towards it.

We have to better this country, we have to better our life by working, not by welfare. But actually working hard and growing. And you work everywhere and no one works harder than you. Harry Singh, founder of Boa Oil Corporation, keeping us up to date on what's happening as we do the most important thing in the election. It's going to be the price of gas, they say.

And you're all over it. Harry, congratulations on your success. Thanks so much for sharing your time today and your story. Brian, thank you so much for giving me a time sharing my thoughts with you, and I do appreciate your work. You got it.

Back in a moment. Brian, can we chair? Real talk, real guests, real insight. Where curiosity meets conversation is the Brian Kilmeat Show. From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Killmead.

Sponsored by Previgen. Previgen made for your brain. They're trying to dumb people down. With the assumption that people don't have any interest beyond what they've already seen. Think about that.

Right, but the algorithm suggesting I'm. I have no more interest because I'm looking at this yellow flower. I'm only interested in yellow flowers.

So here's more yellow flowers. As though my brain can't handle the fact that there may be a pink flower that I might be interested in looking at. Right? And so part of it is understanding how the algorithm is manipulating us and figuring out how we're gonna psych it out a bit. That is, Eric, you were saying that that was Kama Harris trying to explain algorithms.

I'm trying to figure out which one. She's trying to use flowers as an example to explain how an algorithm works. And they think we're trying to land. Who's we? Right.

I mean the social media people, or is it blaming Trump for this? I think she's just trying to say that they're trying to serve us stuff based on liking yellow flowers, but sometimes we just want to see a pink flower. This is gonna be there's no way she's running. I mean, please. I know she's leading in most of the polls, but there's no way she can win.

I mean, she's gotten worse. She makes absolutely no sense. I agree. I don't know who it was. I think it was Josh Crash Hauer who said the biggest mistake she made was not running for government.

No, it was Jessica Tarlove earlier. Was it Jessica? Yep. Biggest mistake. Yeah.

Because she would have, and you see how bad this guy, Xavier Basiera, is. And I love Steve Hilton, but there's just not enough Republicans there. She would have coasted if she was competent. But I think your point was right then. She doesn't want to work.

Yeah, it takes a lot of work to do that. You know, by the way, I cannot wait for everyone to watch Sunday at 10 o'clock with One Nation. Kimberly Strassel is going to be with us. Mike Lawler is going to be with us. John Nixon, the man who found Saddam Hussein from the CIA, so much more.
