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

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

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

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

Or visit weShareHealth.org and take a look for yourself. Make stronger communities happen?

I'm Brian Kilmead. This is One Nation. You're going to love this show. We've got Congressman Mike Lawler in another tough fight in New York. What else is new?

He's also going to talk about another fight that happened at the General Assembly at the United Nations. Kev McCarthy, there's nobody better to break down the midterms than the former Speaker of the House. And John Nixon, he was the guy, the CIA guy, who helped find Saddam Hussein. Yes, and he has some Saddam Hussein conversations to relay as it relates to Iran. But first, The fastest, most impactful monologue in America.

And we begin thinking long term. Not midterm. You know, we got five weeks from an election. We know that. Control of Congress is on the line.

You understand that. Every politician in Washington knows it. Every pollster is talking about it. This week, President Trump made clear his vision goes beyond November because he's trying to get things done in two years, which normally take two terms. As President of the most extraordinary nation in history, I have no interest in leaving dangers to grow for another day.

I do not believe in letting problems fester. They only become harder to solve.

So while others have talked, I have acted. We are solving decades of intractable challenges and we are settling years of unfinished business and we're doing it well. And I know it's driving some Republicans nuts, but that's his vision. Look at Haz's approach at the border, for example. He's not waiting for comprehensive immigration reform.

The guy has sealed the border. He's actually almost done with the wall. He's finding those people who broke the law, came here illegally. He is rounding them up and it's giving some people heartburn. But that's what he promised to do.

Come here illegally and you're going to get scooped up. It shouldn't be okay because Washington failed to fix the systems. That's what he ran on. That's what he talks about. And he's taking the same approach to the Capitol itself.

I don't know if you've been to Washington lately, but he's building that new ballroom. Every president talked about needing an event center. He's doing it. He's fixed 48 monuments in D.C., 22 fountains, 1,000-plus graffiti sites, and the reflecting pool, I understand, is finally getting fixed the right way. Is clear.

For problems big and small, he's going to identify it. He's going to fix it. He's going to do it fast. He's going to do it in a way to make it last. When it comes to trade, remember Liberation Day?

The rollout was rocky, no question. The markets reacted. The critics, well, they pounced. But the bigger idea was more important. Restructure a trading system that Trump believes has short-changed America since World War II.

Not one tariff, not one country, the entire system. Since then, the administration has secured 20 new trade deals, 20. You know, some derailed like Canada. I think it'll get back on track. One is about to be done.

Believe it or not, it's going to be Mexico. And the one front and center this week is China. It's obviously the most important. Has every negotiation gone smoothly? No.

But the aim isn't the headline for tomorrow or a quick fix today. It's sh it's changing the terms of trade for years to come, a restructuring while bringing manufacturing back. Then there's the biggest example of all. Iran. With the war dragging on, the pressure is building.

Voters are worried about the cost than they should be. The price of oil, diesel, fertilizer, it's all going up. The midterms are right around the corner. And even some Republicans are saying it's time to bring the war to an end. The war with Iran needs to end and end quickly.

War is terrible and no one likes war. War should end yesterday. Yep, Trump knows it. But as I told you, the election isn't driving this decision. They're waiting to see how I do in the midterm election.

I gave absolutely no credence and will not give credence to the election. when it comes to Iran. It doesn't even enter my mind. The only thing that does is that Iran will never have A nuclear weapon. His position is that whether a deal comes before November or after November, the objective does not change.

No nuclear weapon. No ability to fund terror proxies and intimidate neighbors. Trump is not looking to make this better for now. And I know it's driving Republicans crazy. He knows peace in the Middle East is a pipe dream with this Iran team empowered and emboldened.

He's not managing Iran. He is squeezing them. He's trying to fix not for now, but forever. And what about munitions? We've got to win wars with munitions.

We keep seeing the headlines warning about the capacity of America's defense industrial base. But Trump is the one building up our arsenal. The cowards and traders would love to say the United States is low on munitions, but that's not true. We have more munitions than we could ever possibly even think of using, and we're building them at levels that we have never done before. In the very near future, massive munition plants will be opening.

There are 18 of them being built by the greatest defense companies in the world right now, 18 under construction. Yes, he's spreading them out. There used to be a big four.

Now there's 18. Not just for more missiles next month, the capacity to make more missiles for years, new systems. And that brings us to maybe the biggest long-term challenge of all, AI. The United States is racing China for this technology to transform our economy. It's also fueling our economy now.

It's going to transform our military. America, well, we're in the lead, about nine to twelve months in the lead. The question is whether we keep that lead. And at the same time, figuring out how to keep a technology this powerful from becoming a threat itself. And that can't be answered by a November poll.

That's a debate that will outlive this election and this presidency. But when he hands off the Oval Office, you can be sure we will still be leading the world on artificial intelligence, or as he calls it, superintelligence. These aren't six-week problems, more like 60-year issues. And the president appears determined not to hand them to somebody else, Democrat or Republican, because this isn't just a midterm plan, it's not a re-election plan. It's an American plan.

And joining us now is Fox Street Contributor from the Wall Street Journal, Kim Strossel.

So Kim, I know you wrote a lot about this. You've been in a lot of personal briefings with the President of the United States. Do you see him thinking big picture like I just outlined? Oh, yeah, and Brian, by the way, this is why Americans voted for the guy, right? After decades of feeling as though they had politicians that said, oh, I'll solve this, I'll solve this, then nothing happens.

They wanted someone who was going to go in and break China. And by the way, just to add a couple of more things to the list that you laid out there, you know, just this week you had Vice President J.D. Vance come out and say they're taking more than 750,000 phantom accounts off of Obamacare. I mean, this is the fraud that's been sitting there in the United States government for decades. Nobody's done anything about it.

So it causes some disruption. I think it leaves some voters feeling unsettled, but stuff is getting done. The other thing is rare earth. He's on a two-year plan to get another rare earth. He's going to mine in this country.

We never should have stopped. But environmentalists had a lot to do with that. But now he's cutting deals with Australia and the Far East and Central and South America. And I'll add something else: he's cleaning up our own hemisphere for the first time, really, in my lifetime. China and Russia are being pushed out.

So is communism. Cuba's next. Yeah, it is remarkable. On the rare earth things also think they just netted that Greenland deal, which is one of the biggest sources of rare earths everywhere. And part of that deal says, hey, you can sell it to us, but you can't sell it to our adversaries.

That was a big question mark, and that's done. Yeah, I mean, this is one of those things that you've done this before. We're in the middle of the play-by-play, and you think you understand a presidency. I think we're going to understand his presidency a lot better two or three years out, but we're in the middle of it now. But let me just do something I just told you I wasn't going to do.

Let's drill down on November and midterms, and let's talk about Alaska. Mary Peltola, nine separate former staffers, came out and says this woman's got a huge attitude problem, a rage issue, correct? Right, and this is a problem for her. Look, I don't know how many committed Peltola voters are going to care that much, but these are the kind of stories come out and it says complete mayhem among their staff, people quitting or being fired. It suggests a politician that has a lot of problems, and that matters a lot.

You get some of these middle-of-the-road voters, they either decide they don't want that or they just decide they're not interested in going out to vote that day for her.

So that's a real depressor when it comes to turnout for her. And I think it is a boon for Dan S. Sullivan, the actual Dan S. Sullivan, the incumbent in the race. I got to read this to you.

You're not going to believe it. It's in your rival newspaper. It says, She is part of, this is what she said about Planned Parenthood. One of her angry outbursts, slurs, and firings, tumult rocks a key senate campaign is the headline. Peltola also disparaged Planned Parenthood, particularly one of its regional board members.

Running for re-election for the 2024 House seat. Peltola was frustrated about the organization's scrutiny of her deliberations over how to vote on a defense bill. She said, I hope Planned Parenthood knows that if we don't win, it's more their loss than ours. F those Bs, she later wrote in a text message to her staff in January 2024 that was viewed by the New York Times. She also went on to say, Peltola, I hope she dies of a botched abortion.

She also had a gay slur and made fun of people who have mental issues. Yeah, no, look, Mary Peltola has already had some issues up here. Remember, she briefly served as a House member representing Alaska, and that was because she won essentially because of Alaska's goofy rank choice system.

So she essentially won by default.

Now, this year, there is a nasty trick going on in Alaska, Brian, where there's this decoy Dan Sullivan candidate who has purely been put, clearly been put on the ballot with help from Democrats to try to confuse voters and get them to draw votes away from the incumbent Dan Sullivan. But I think all of this adds up to show the desperation a bit of this campaign and the problem she has when she's trashing on kind of loyal Democratic outside groups. It shows the frustration and the problems there. Kim, I want to get to Texas real quick because James Tallarico is leading. If I look at the latest poll, he's up by six.

Mayor's survey, real clear average up by three over Ken Paxson. But what Taurico is doing a little bit different, he's changing all his views. He now says, I'm going to work with Donald Trump on the border. I am for oil and gas. I want to debate Ken Paxson on Fox News with Brett Baer as the moderator.

And he's telling all his Democrats, don't come. I want to act like a Republican. Is that a strategy that could be successful in Texas when the others have failed Democrats?

Well, look, I think what's adding up here in Texas is, remember, this is a red state, by the way. And a lot of people who have moved to Texas, too, because they want that kind of politics.

So he's already facing an uphill thing. And I always question this. Democrats ran out and they recruited all these people. Oh, you know, here's a seminarian in Texas, and we'll roll him out. Then people find out what his actual views are.

So now he's trying to cloak those actual past views. Are Texans going to buy it? I don't know. But one of the problems here, too, is, you know, Patson's having trouble. There was a very messy primary down there, and a lot of Republicans are still pretty bitter about that.

So he's got to motivate his base as well, too. He's getting like $200 million. He's going to flood the system, see what happens. See what kind of debate that would be. Kim Strassel.

Always great to have you on. Thanks so much. Thanks, Brian. Whether they sit in this hall or in the office of the anti-Semitic mayor of New York, I say this. 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. Mr.

Mamdani. You try to stop me from coming here. Uh You tried to silence me.

Well, you can't silence me. You can't silence the truth. It was a fantastic speech. If you missed it, try to find it online. Tensions flaring in New York this week as New York City Mayor Mondani and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu locked in a high-profile feud.

Bibi's comments coming on the heels of Mohamdani labeling him a war criminal while renewing calls to have him arrested. The truth, when it comes to the Prime Minister, is that he is the subject of an international criminal court arrest warrant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. And as the Prime Minister, he is the architect of a horrific genocide against Palestinians. You've called for the federal government to honor the ICC's ward. Was this brought up with the President?

I've made very clear where I stand on that. Yeah, that means it wasn't. Joining us now, a very vocal critic of Mondami, New York Congressman Mike Lawler, who knew him when he was in the State House. Congressman, I know you're in a tough race yourself, but it was hard not to take your eyes off what's happening at the General Assembly. Who won that sparring session?

Oh, Bibi did, of course. I mean, the fact is, Mamdani campaigned on arresting Beebe and then ultimately, you know. kneeled over because he didn't have any standing to do so. Uh and the fact is uh you know Mamdani saying that he's a war criminal, that he's committed genocide, is disgraceful. It is wrong.

Israel has not committed a genocide. But this is the same Mamdani that called for Nicholas Maduro to be released after he was detained and arrested and brought to the United States based on multiple indictments by the Southern District of New York.

So Mamdani then calls for him to be released. He doesn't recognize our own courts, but he wants to recognize the ICC, of which the United States is not party to. It just speaks to the vile anti-Semitism and Jew hatred coursing through his veins. And you know, Delariza's Chevalier, who's likely to be in Congress, was there too protesting against Bibi, like she was October 8th, the day after the October 7th brutal attacks over in Gaza, over in Israel, that came from Gaza. And Bibi, I thought, made an incredible speech, but all those people that showed up there had everything to do with it.

Do with the mayor ginning them up since the day he was elected because he got there, got most of New York City against Netanyahu, fueling the anti-Semitism. He says Jews in New York don't feel safe. Is he right? Yeah, unfortunately, and I see it in my own district. People do not feel safe.

They don't feel safe to go into New York City. They don't feel safe to send their children into New York City. The fact that people are afraid during this Jewish holiday to be able to go to synagogue and pray or to openly wear a Star of David in the city of New York is shameful. It is honestly hard to fathom that this is where we are in 2026, that to be a Jew in America means that you have to be silent, that you cannot defend your beliefs in a strong U.S.-Israel relationship. Remember, Hassan Piker said that you should expect violence against you as a Jewish American if you stand up for the state of Israel.

These people, Hassan Piker, Zoran Mamdani, and every radical anti-Semite socialist running for office want nothing more than to abolish the State of Israel. Uh and in fact You talk about a genocide, they want to eradicate the Jewish people. It's that clear.

So you got some good news. You're always going to be in a tight race as long as you're running in the 17th district. And you have a Democrat from Maine, who's no longer going to be in Congress, Jared Golden, crossed the lines to say, I endorse Mike Lawler. What does that mean for your race against Kate Connolly?

Well, first of all, I'm immensely grateful to Jared for his endorsement. Jared has routinely been one of the most bipartisan members of Congress, putting his district and our country above party politics. And frankly, that's why so many Democrats in his conference want him gone. But he is a class act. He has served this nation in both the military and in Congress exceptionally well.

This is good news for me in this district. I've routinely been rated the most bipartisan and effective members of Congress. There's 80,000 more Democrats than Republicans. I've had local Democrats like Ali Chemtob, Newcastle, Town Councilman, Brendell Logan Charles, Ramapo, Deputy Town Supervisor, endorse me. We are going to win on November 3rd because I've delivered for my district.

I've followed through on every promise I made and we have fought tirelessly. Tirelessly to represent this district. You know. I'm proud of where we are and the work that I've done. I know it drives the administration crazy, but you are known as one of the most bipartisan congressmen.

That's why it's laughable when Akeem Jeffries says you're a partisan hack. Excuse me, have you seen the rankings? Congressman Mike Lower, thanks so much. Appreciate it. This is Kettle.

Yeah, absolutely. All right. Thanks so much. Great to see you, Congressman. Hey, by the way, I'm pretty excited.

Be sure to catch me on tour. I'm doing my United States tour. It's going to be streamed on Fox Nation. I'll be in Red Bank, New Jersey on the 16th, and Westbury, New York on the 17th. Then in Clearwater, back-to-back days over in Clearwater, Florida, then over to Jacksonville on the 8th, and Chesterfield, Missouri.

It's going to be inspirational, patriotic, and of course motivational. Go to BrianKilme.com. I'll see you there.

Next on this show, though, Congressman Kevin McCarthy. He was speaker. He breaks down the GOP's midterm chances amid the dangerous rise of socialism and this, why the capture of Saddam Hussein matters more today than ever with the man that helped bring him. Down John Nixon. I'm about to interrogate the man.

who invaded Kuwait, fought against Iran, terrorized Iraq for 23 years. Saddam Hussein. High value target number one. Where is our key? How many years have we spent listening to politicians in Washington argue about how to make health care insurance more affordable?

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

Maybe the question is, what else is out there? That's why I want you to take a look at WeShare Health. WeShare isn't health insurance. It's a non-profit, Christian healthcare sharing organization. And their members pay up to 60% less than they would for Obamacare.

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

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

Or visit weShareHealth.org and take a look for yourself. So here we go. 37 days into the midterm elections, and Democrats hold a seven-point generic ballot lead in the recent national poll. The map is getting tighter, too. The Cook political report now calls for the fight for the Senate, a true toss-up.

And House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, well, he sounds pretty confident. It's about six weeks until Judgment Day. Democrats are running toward the finish line, Republicans are running scared. all across the country. But here's a potential opening for Republicans.

You've got a Quinn Payak poll. 70% of voters disapprove of the job Democrats in Congress are doing, and Republicans remain more popular than Democrats. And even Donald Trump is more popular than Democrats overall. Republicans turn their frustration, can they do that, turn their frustration into votes? And what does President Trump need to do in the final weeks?

Can he help besides making appearances and throwing a whole lot of money at these races? Joining us now, former Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy. Mr. Speaker, who would you rather be right now, a Democrat or Republican?

Well, I'd rather be the Republican out there because think about what Hakeem just said. He said they're running, but they're running on what? Are they running on their They're candidates who use the American flag as a napkin. Are they running on the socialist views? They lay nothing out before the public.

Now, the other thing you have here, too, is I would have loved, as the leader or the speaker, have somebody give me more than $200 million, which President Trump has already done. I mean, when we won the majority, our super PAC only had $240 million, so put that in perspective. The other thing, too, is if you're in the majority and the voters have trusted you for 24 months to control Congress, the thing I would have done different is not recessed all the time. I would have put more bills up that showed where the Democrats actually stood, do the 80-20 votes, what Republicans stand for and what Democrats stand for. It would make you stronger in these last weeks in the messaging of what you would be able to accomplish if you had more seats.

Speaker Johnson made a mistake by saying go on recess and go campaign in your districts?

Well, the challenge that I had was when Democrats shut the government down and you're in the majority. And you stop running the floor. Democrats are winning. They did that for two months. That's two months out of 24 months that you have control of being the majority.

Use the majority for the greater strength of the country. That's what's very important.

So I want to bring it up. On average, when it's a seven, go ahead. When you have a generic ballot, 7%, that's an advantage to the Democrats. We have a money advantage. Utilize that.

You wanted to have a policy advantage when you had those 24 months to be able to lay out against these Democrats on those bad votes.

So I want to bring you to a couple of a few Senate races that are changing just a little bit. For example, I'm stunned to see in Kansas Senator Roger Marshall trailing the last poll to Adam Hamilton, 45-43, and Darlene Graham won from a likely to a lean when it comes to the Senate seat in South Carolina. That's about a five-point race. Your thoughts on both those? I think both of these, at the end of the day, Republicans can win.

The challenge is we're only talking about being competitive in seats that are normally safe.

So if you're spending Republican money in Texas, if you're spending it in Ohio, if you're spending it in South Carolina, and South Carolina is a unique situation, whereas Lindsey Graham passed away after the primary.

So that's unique. I'd put that aside. Roger Marshall, we need to straighten that campaign out. I think that's the important part. But when you're spending money in safe seats, that means you're not going to spend that money in Georgia and North Carolina.

And also, we have a challenge in Iowa. And something that's different here is in some of these governor races, Republicans are not as strong.

So I'm worried about Iowa, Pennsylvania, and in Arizona. If you just look on the paper, Arizona would be the best pickup for Republicans to flip a governor seat. Unfortunately, we have a really weak nominee that is now costing us, could cost us. Us congressional races and could cost us the majority in Congress. If he underperforms like he is, not running a very good campaign.

He never worked well with Republicans let known across the aisle. And when it comes to a governorship, you've got to be able to have common ground and common sense. All right, I want to bring you to California, even though you moved to Florida. I cannot believe this mayor's race. It looks like we might be having another socialist in the mayor's house.

Karen Bass, who's just a terrible leader, who looked up to Fidel Castro, is now trailing Nynthia Rahman significantly by 11 points, 33% undecided. It's hard to believe that Spencer Pratt doesn't figure in this race. But what does that tell you about where Los Angeles is going? She's come out of nowhere, and she believes in more extreme views than even Karen Bass. She is a true socialist, and she has been elected longer than Karen Bass.

She has a long record on the city council and no one would be there. I think what is happening here, people are just voting against what has happened in LA. They don't understand what they would be putting into office. Because if you go back and you look in 1993, we had two races in New York and in L.A., and they elected Giuliani and Reardon. They elected Republicans and you watched a wave come in 94.

What you're seeing is the socialist wave overtaking the Democratic Party. First, Mendani, and then you watch what's happening in Colorado and these other seats. You watch Michigan. That is a real fear what could happen in Los Angeles. And that would be detrimental to the entire state and to the nation because how important Los Angeles is.

But you're watching it just spiral downward. They don't know much about this candidate, but I will tell you. See as the socialist and communist in the campaign. You know, they say when you have an addiction, You have to hit rock bottom. Nynthia Raman would be rock bottom.

And I don't know if Jelly Roll can write a song about that, but maybe he has already. Kevin McCarthy, thanks so much. It's going to be an interesting 30 days. We'll be calling on you a lot. I hope that's okay.

Anytime. But remember what Winston Churchill said: you could always count on Americans to do what's right at the exhausted every other option. And I think we're there.

So let's do what's right in November and put us back on the right track. Thanks, Mr. Speaker. Hey, I'm pretty excited about my YouTube page.

So should you. Check it out: youtube.com/slash at the Brian KillMe Joe. We got great stuff, especially from radio. And don't move.

Next, only on One Nation, Lydia Moynihan from the New York Post is here with the media moments that matter most to her, which means they'll matter to you. Lydia, great to see you. Have a seat. 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.

Visit weSharehealth.org and take a look for yourself. Welcome to Fox News Live. I'm Christina Coleman in Los Angeles. President Trump says he expects talks with Iran to resume this week. This is a day after he rejected Tehran's latest peace proposal.

In it, in part, would have reopened the vital Strait of Hormuz, ended fighting, and resumed nuclear talks. That in exchange for the U.S. lifting its naval blockade and sanctions. Trump also says he's not rolling out more strikes on Iran before November's midterm elections. Iran claims it remains ready for diplomacy, but is also prepared if fighting resumes.

Atlanta Zoo has two new giant pandas. They arrived earlier today from China. It follows Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to the U.S. last week, where we called the giant panda a quote envoy of friendship between China and the U.S. Ping Ping and Fu Shang will be quarantined for about a month before visitors will be able to see them.

I'm Christina Coleman, now back to One Nation. Yeah. Media moments that matter. Pretty excited. Time for everyone's favorite segment.

I mean, everyone. I took a survey. This week I gave my VCR, my TV guide, not my hope subscription, just this week's. All my chords are my tape stock, too. New York Post columnist Lydia Moynihan.

Lydia, you got to return it, but I knew you did a lot of taping. Yeah. And you came up with three substantial segments. There are some of your favorites here this week, including Kamala Harris. Oh, really?

We haven't heard from in a while.

So we'll get to that, but we're going to start with the ladies of The View.

So, Patrick Lancy did his first interview this week and revealed some pretty astonishing facts, including the fact that his wife, Lindsay, never apologized for killing their three children. Sarah Haynes, who's supposed to be the moderate co-host there on The View, had this to say. about the Patrick and Lindsay Clancy marriage. What bothers me is he talks about forgiving her, which I love, but he focuses on that and never jumps to what so many people struggle with. How did the marital love end so quickly when you admit openly your wife got sick?

She got sick. It doesn't mean you can be with them and it doesn't mean it doesn't remind you of the worst day of your life. But I would hope, and like in sickness and in health, I would hope that my husband wouldn't sit there and just move right along and like not. Wow. I will say Everyone's got their different threshold, but strangling your three children might be the breaking point that goes beyond any good marriage therapist.

How judgmental of her! I can't believe he would leave his wife and strangled their children. Maybe the worst take I've heard on the Clancy trial, and I had to look up, I thought, okay, well, what else have the Ladies of the View said about divorce? And they actually did a segment earlier this year celebrating the fact that a growing number of women were leaving their husbands because they weren't satisfied and feeling fulfilled and how empowering it was for them to file for divorce. But evidently, if you're a man and you leave your wife because she murdered your children.

That's a bridge too far. And by the way, I was totally disappointed in the 16-minutes interview. I didn't think they did a good job at all with Clancy. But that's a trial that's going to live on. Of course, we're going to find out the future of it.

But you didn't stop there.

So many anchors are no longer with their networks and now speaking out publicly. Yeah, so Terry Moran this week chimed in about his attempted report on Biden's declining health. He'd gone on a trip with him. And here's what the ABC News executive said when he pitched that story about the Biden cognitive decline. I tried to do the story of Biden's health.

Before anybody else did in networks,'cause I'd seen it. And I got shut down. Very hard. I wrote an email to everybody as gently and as respectfully as I could. I think I still have it.

And it and it was like, you know, this is a legit, legit issue for Americans to be interested in. I'm not a doctor, I'm not diagnosing, but we all know what we know when we see people fading. This is a legitimate concern for the voters of America. I would say, this is the medical unit's business, it's not yours, basically. And that was that was that.

Now he's saying it, right? What we all saw and they said it was bias.

Now he's for the medical doctors. You know how many people have said things about Donald Trump? They don't like the way he walks, or they say that his legs are swollen or he falls asleep. They're quick to make a medical diagnosis there. How do you feel about him coming out now?

The people who complain about the fact they can't keep up with Donald Trump also say that he's old and tired. Look, I think it's good that we're learning this, right? I think sunlight's the best disinfectant. But why are we only hearing this now? And why isn't he naming names?

Because presumably the kind of executive to censor this story is also going to censor a lot of other stories.

So we'd like to know who are they? Are they continuing to squelch important stories that we as a public need to hear? And remember, he got fired.

So what's he holding back for? What's more to lose? Speaking of somebody that didn't get hired as president but might be trying to do it again, Kamala Harris is at it. Has she gotten better at elocution? I think you'll be the judge.

She had quite a few moments this week on her little tour there trying to push El Syed's candidacy in Michigan. Let's listen. Charlie Chisholm talked about it. If you're not at the table... Bring a folding chair, otherwise you might be on the menu.

They're cheating with all this redistricting that they are doing. They are cheating by purging voter rolls. An attack on DEI. To recognize diversity, equity, and inclusion is an attack by definition on maternal care. What?

I don't even know what it means. But you see, even El Saeed goes, did I make a mistake asking her to come with me?

Well, the good news is we're not alone.

So, one amazing thing about Kamala Harris is the more that people see of her, the less they like her. If you remember, she had a little bit of momentum when she came on the scene running for president back in 2019. 15-ish percent, and then that dip she had to drop out. Luda Mohan, great to see you. Great to be here.

Meanwhile, this straight ahead: Trump is taking on Iran, the number one sponsor of terror. Joining me next, the man that helped bring Saddam Hussein and what Saddam, John Nixon, and what Saddam Hussein said to him about Iran. Don't move. Hmm. Father, look at the money.

Sit. Like he's the boss. How many years have we spent listening to politicians in Washington argue about how to make health care insurance more affordable? Obamacare was supposed to fix it. Then we needed bigger government subsidies to make Obamacare affordable.

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

WeShare isn't health insurance, it's a non-profit, Christian healthcare sharing organization, and their members pay up to 60% less than they would for Obamacare. You still get access to a nationwide PPO network and over a million physicians, plus unlimited telehealth.

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

Or visit weSharehealth.org and take a look for yourself. Why is it you have to go? Nobody knows this guy better than you. I should be there. You have no field training, John.

We're the WMDs. Who are you? You? Are nothing. Everybody's watching.

I know the stakes. Pine and angle. Those rocks out there. fighting no Nobody's fighting for you. It's because you don't have any power anymore.

You think the game's over when you take the king? Wow, more than two decades after the fall of Saddam Hussein and his capture, and 25 years after 9-11, one of America's most consequential manhunts is back in the spotlight as the Middle East once again takes center stage with Iran. My next guest played a crucial role in the hunt for Saddam Hussein, who was finally found hiding in a hole in the ground in December of 2003, mainly because of John Nixon. He's a former CIA analyst, who was one of the agency's top experts on Saddam, and after his capture, he became the first CIA officer to interrogate the Iraqi dictator. And his experience may be more relevant than ever.

President Trump this week called Iran the number one sponsor of terror, raising a bigger question: how could the war with Iran reshape the terror landscape across the Middle East? And what can we learn from the man who helped bring Saddam Hussein down? Mr. President, you're a prisoner of the Coalition Provisional Authority and uh You need to answer my questions. Lo Channel.

Or what? We're not interested in threats.

So, who are you? You can call me Steve. His name wasn't Steve.

Now that remarkable story has been brought to life in TNT's new series, High Value Target, The Hunt for Saddam, inspired by Nixon's book, Debriefing the President. Joining us now, John Nixon. John, thanks so much for joining us. I guess the biggest question you must get every day. one on one with Saddam Hussein.

What was he like? Oh, it was an intense experience. Every time that I was with him, and this is one of the things that's brought out in the show, every time I was with him, it was sort of like matching wits with the Iraqi dictator. And it was exhilarating, it was exhausting, it was exciting, and it was very frustrating. It was all of those things.

He could be, and he was somebody who had many facets to his character. He could be very charming, he could be very funny at times, but he could also be very Chilling and a little bit scary, also. What did you get from him in those times that you were with him one-on-one? Because you did mention to me he wasn't trying to save himself. He knew he was going to be killed, he was going to be executed.

So, what did you learn from him, knowing how much you knew to find him? Because your expertise was able to track him down. Right. You know, it was very difficult talking to him because I don't know if you've ever experienced this, but you know, when you're dealing with somebody who you think is lying to you, and that for some reason he just exuded this sense that he was telling lies, and yet most of the time he was actually telling the truth.

So it was very hard to believe what he was saying. But the thing is, we learned a great deal of how he ruled his regime and how he saw the world, and it was very different from what we had analyzed back at headquarters. What did he tell you about Iran? He had a very caustic view of Iran. He did not trust them at all.

And at one point, I had brought up this idea of how the Iranians had had a vigil after 9-11 to show support for America. It was just the Iranian citizens of Tehran. And he just looked at me like, and he just laughed. And he said, oh, go be friends with them. See how that works out for you.

He did not trust them at all. He hated their regime. And he was a vowed enemy of the Islamic Republic. What role did Iran have? Because you were there during the insurgency when things went sideways in the whole insurgency.

They say they killed 603 Americans. What role did Iran have? Iran had a huge role starting infiltrating into Iraq shortly after the fall of the regime. And with the explosion of, sorry to use that express, but the influx of IEDs, the arming of the Shia militias, and even in some instances providing support to al-Qaeda and Iraq. These weren't many, but we did see elements at times where the IEDs and various munitions were falling into the hands of al-Qaeda and Iraq and being used against American soldiers.

John, in your estimation from your years of experience and your conversations with Saddam Hussein, is there any dealing with Iran? We're talking about doing a deal with Iran and coming to an agreement. Is that possible? Uh you know uh In the show itself, you know, they addressed this issue and it's really, really fascinating because he in Saddam was definitely thought that you cannot trust them at all. And I have a feeling that he was right.

The problem is, is that there is no negotiation with a regime that does not want to negotiate with you and does not want to talk to you and does not want to have relations with you and who sees their power as opposing you and resisting you. That is a very difficult situation and you're never really going to get anywhere. I used to think that negotiations were the answer. I don't believe that anymore. John, after watching the series, I learned so much.

And I was covering this on a daily basis, hourly basis, and still you enlightened us so much with the series and what you did. And using your expertise in the field, from now on, the CIA is out there, not just in the office, but now you're actually involved more than ever, thanks to the great work that you did. John Nixon, thanks so much. Oh, thank you. All right.

Meanwhile, now time for your sneak peek of the week. What to expect this week? And here we go. President Trump's going to hit the campaign trail. He's going to have some fun over the weekend, as he did at the football game, but now he's going to be helping out in states that he never thought he'd had to.

I look for him to see a lot in Ohio, a lot over in Texas. But that's not going to be all. Trump and Speaker Johnson are expected to meet with tech execs, AI execs. They're going to come up with some type of plan or guardrails, what have you. Also, guess who's back in the news?

Former special counsel Jack Smith in the hot seat for a Senate hearing on his investigation into President Trump that was a little extensive. I don't know if you noticed. And guess what? The Major League Baseball playoffs are upon us, and football is in full stride. It's a good time to be an American.
