Tommy Lehren is here. She's going to be out on number. Am I correct? That is correct. I knew it.
Tommy Lehren is going to be on the big weekend show. She's co-host from five to eight Saturday and Sunday. She's in studio right now because she is pumped up. Because according to her people, they've confirmed she'll be on One Nation on Sunday at ten o'clock. I'm getting my Brian on Friday and on Sunday night.
It's a great way to kick off the weekend. It is and your weekend and end the weekend start and end.
So, how are you feeling? We're gonna do a short segment, then we got another big one at the end. How do you feel right now about the House? How do you feel right now about the Senate from the Republican perspective? I think we are very lucky that the other side is crazy and offer zero solutions.
Otherwise, I think it could be much worse. You know, I'm going to shoot it straight, Brian. I don't think it's great, but I do think the fact that the left is running just straight up communists, socialists, Looney Tunes, people who marry their cousins. I think that we're in a better spot than we would be if they ran people who were sane. Right, and even in Texas, Tejero is leading.
We're in a flat footed tie. Only because he has reversed himself on almost every major issue, so is the lesson this if. They don't like my policies. Don't run on them. But if I get the job, I'm going to implement them.
We should know this by now. There's no such thing as a moderate Democrat because all the moderates that have run as moderates have turned out to be just as radical as anybody else. Joe Biden was supposed to be a moderate, obviously not a moderate. Or whoever was controlling his puppet strings, not a moderate. Mikey Cheryl would be another.
Spanberger another. None of these people are moderates.
So let's just believe that they're all socialist communists in varying degrees. Of that, and then at least there's some honesty with the American. The scariest, the scariest candidate out there. If you're a Republican, meaning if they got elected, would do the most damage.
Well, I think Tellerico just because we can't lose Texas, right?
So I think just overall how demoralizing that would be. It would be Tellerico, but I think El Saeed is probably, in my opinion, the biggest threat. That's a senator. That's somebody from Michigan. That's a state that you know we should be winning.
So I think that those two right there are the ones that I'm most concerned about. Who has an interesting thing to say about oil and gas? He wants to stop all of it. He wants to disband oil corporations from Aramco in Saudi Arabia to Mobil Oil here. Everything, he says, we have enough with renewables.
Yeah, in Michigan. And we tried that, right? That was the big push with the Green New Deal, and so we could just push electric vehicles on everybody, and then people will just suddenly want electric vehicles. No, that's not the case. And also, when Democrats say that they're going to lower gas prices, what they really mean is what El Saeed is saying, and others who are at least honest about it.
They don't want to lower gas prices; they just want to take away your fossil fuels. Right. And you, I thought as a country, and you straightened me out on this once. We got past it. The people realized America got over it.
They realized it was all a joke and a hoax, and they weren't going to do that. You believe it just went underground, and it's about to go above ground again because you don't even get this in Europe like you used to. Right? Remember the Paris Climate Summit was the place to be, and the the new doctrine for the world. They just had a summit in Brazil.
Nobody showed up.
Well, and you notice too when some of the folks that are big players in big tech, it was climate change, climate change, climate change. Then they realized they need data centers, and so then you have Bill Gates. That's like, ah, the climate change thing, not such a big threat to us.
Now he's Mr. AI. Yes, AI is going to destroy us. Yes.
So, and by the way, isn't it amazing you don't worry about Jeffrey Epstein when Bill Gates is available to book him? Yeah. Tommy Lehren's here. Another segment. You're listening to the Brian Kilmeade Show.
Don't move.
So it was really sad news. Mike Ditka, great guy, legendary cub, great tight end with the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears, a long-time Bears coach and Saints coach, and a commentator and personality, really for 30 years, has just passed away.
So we just got that word now. Actually, the first one to say it, the son of Hall of Famer Walter Payton, Jared Payton, also confirmed on X from the Ditka family, says with a heavy. Heart. Then I'm sharing the Ditka family has announced the passing of Mike Ditka, the Hall of Famer, the heartbeat of the '85 Bears and Super Bowl champion. Chicago will not be the same.
Prayers with Diana and the family.
So Mike Ditka has passed away. He knew he was hurt, and sadly, we thought this day was going to come. But there's a lot of people that just know him and don't even know what he did. He became a personality above football, and he was great in kicking and screaming. We've lost so many legends this year.
I know. You think Dolly Parton? There's just been so many greats that we've lost, and everybody knows that you know that time comes. But it's just people that meant a lot to this country, and a lot to sports, and a lot to music. We've lost many legends.
So can can I say your husband? Would your husband us? Yeah, absolutely.
Okay, but he is still alive, by the way. Right. Yeah, I should have transitioned better. And I know on the big show you do that on weekends. Your husband's a coach with with the Mets.
Yes, so you are very ingrained in the baseball culture. I am. And how many games have you been to over the last since you met him?
Well, I've been to a lot of games, a lot of AAA games as well, sitting in very cold weather in Syracuse, and I watch every single Mets game except for when I'm on air.
Okay, so there was something happening in baseball. Set the scene because you are very ticked off about this. All right, we're in postseason right now, right?
So it's intense. You know, fans are intense right now as they should be.
So we had a matchup this week, of course, Dodgers Braves. We know how that panned out. The Dodgers probably going to the World Series, and they're going to win again. Baseball is broken. But aside from that, you have.
A Dodger fan who caught a foul ball, or you know, caught it and dropped whatever he got the foul ball. This is like a young man, right? And then you have another fan who is filming this kid, this teenager catching this ball and being so excited about it. And then this just random person pans like three rows back to a little kid who's sitting there and put as the caption or the blurb on the video, like doesn't give ball to kid. And then it caused a whole social media debate over whether you, as a fan, should have to scan the crowd and find a random child to give your foul ball to or your home run ball to.
And the kid was a kid. Yeah, he was obviously the kid that they panned to was like a toddler, right? And the kid that caught it was probably in his teens. But I don't care if the man is a grown man. I don't think it's incumbent upon you to search the crowd and be like, I wonder if there's a kid here that I could give this to.
I think that's ridiculous. It's one thing if you're taking it from the clasp of a kid. That's wrong. But you shouldn't have to automatically just forego the ball that you caught or that you got because there's a kid somewhere in your vicinity. Right.
I mean. I 100% agree, but we have seen where guys zeroing in the ball, knock a kid over in order to catch. Yes, that's wrong. Yeah, yeah, you can't you can't trample a child to catch a ball. I think that that it goes against baseball etiquette.
But there's nothing that says that you must find some random kid and be like, I know I caught this. This is important to me. But there's a kid back there who's probably four years old that doesn't even know what's going on. I must give him this. No, I'm sorry.
So Tommy, you didn't grow up with baseball. Baseball wasn't big in in South Dakota.
Well, we. Don't have a major league team, of course, in South Dakota. But I've always been a baseball fan. I love baseball. Yes.
So you watch? You would watch a major league game or a minor league game? I watched high school games. Legion. Legion baseball is big in the Dakotas because, again, we don't have like a big presence of big teams.
So Legion baseball is big in the Dakotas.
So I was big into Legion baseball, high school baseball, college baseball.
So you think the Mets are heading in the right direction? They're headed in the right direction. It was a rough year, okay. It was a building year. You shouldn't be building with the payroll that we have, but next year is going to be much better.
It's going to be great. And is it because they're going to have a soccer stadium next to the baseball stadium finally built? Doesn't it look pretty good? Did you see the stadium? I haven't seen the stadium.
I haven't seen the soccer stadium.
So, but I'm not a soccer fan.
So, I mean, I don't even like it when the U.S. Open is next. Would you be open to being a soccer fan? No. Can I try to convert you?
No, I think soccer is a communist sport, and I don't like it. What were they teaching you in school?
Soccer's American sports is what they were teaching me, Brian. American sports. All right.
So let's talk about we mentioned the midterms before, and Mayor Mom Donny, who I thought was a good point that Mark Mullin brought up. He did not say a word last week when a cop was shot and stabbed. Right, not a word. But he had to run to the microphones to quickly condemn ICE after this 28-year-old international gangster from the Dominican Republic, who doesn't belong here, was shot when he wouldn't pull over. Although we're waiting on the body cam video now.
Cut 26. For the past two hours, I have been on the phone with President Trump and Secretary Mullin, negotiating the release of the man ICE agents shot. Those negotiations were unsuccessful. Just moments ago, ICE put the man in an unmarked vehicle and whisked him away. Let me say this plainly: what happened today was an outrage.
We know that ICE is rotten to its core. Today's shooting is only further devastating confirmation of what we have long known, which is that ICE operates with impunity, that they sow chaos and terror across our country, that they have killed far more of our neighbors than they could ever have claimed to save.
So that got him exercised, and that's the guy that ran for office. Hates Israel. Yeah. Hates cops. I mean, that he said he was on the phone with the president for two hours to try to get this New Yorker free.
Yeah. What am I missing here?
Well, there's no com. This is this is the Republicans' best hope. Yeah, well, and I would also say this is also why I am ten toes down on not capitulating to the left, not Mom Donny, not Hokele, not any of them capitulating to the left on immigration enforcement. Because you hear it from them pretty loudly and pretty clearly. They want every illegal alien on the streets.
They don't care if they've raped, murdered, defrauded, drove, driven drunk. They don't care what they've done. They don't care if they're gang members. Don't care if they're murderers, robbers. They don't care.
They want every illegal alien on the streets. So then Republicans say, "Oh, okay.
Well, we don't want the bad press, so we'll just say we're going after the worst of the worst, and we'll have to justify our immigration enforcement actions by listing the rap sheet of everybody that we sweep up." You don't have to do that. You don't have to capitulate to the left because they want everybody out.
So we can't play their game. Mass deportations is what we were promised, and I've said this, and I firmly believe if we want to. Not have you know a horrible loss in the midterms. It's not about capitulating to the left. It's not even about trying to cozy up to the left leaning independents.
It's about getting the base out, and you get the base out by saying these were the promises we failed on a couple of them. Gas is high, groceries are high. We're working on it, but what we can carry out is the mass deportations you were promised, because that impacts everything else. Do you think it's happening? No, I don't think it's happening.
I don't think mass deportations are happening, and I. Give Secretary Mullen credit for standing up for his ICE agents this morning and for doing that press conference, which I thought overall was good. But he no fewer than twenty times said, "We're going after the worst of the worst. We're going after the worst of the worst." He even said, "We're not doing worksite enforcement." Why would you tell the millions of illegal aliens in this country, "Don't worry, if you haven't committed a crime yet, we're not coming for you"? Here's what he's saying.
He's looking at the polls. It says the Hispanic vote is leaving Trump in the midterms, and they say the experts say it's because of the harsh treatment of illegal immigrants. I don't understand what's harsh about carrying out a lawful deportation, and I actually disagree with that because there are many. My husband's one of them, who is a Cuban American, who's born and raised in Miami, Florida. When did you find that out?
Long before I married him, right? And his whole family are Cuban immigrants, right? They are some of the most fanatical about mass deportations because they came the right way, and they don't want people flooding their communities who shouldn't be there. They're taking their jobs, who are you know driving down. Their wages, so I disagree that the Hispanic vote is running away from the Republican Party because of the promise.
No, I don't think it is.
So you think it's stronger? You think we're going to be surprised in Texas? I think. The what we need to do, and I'm not saying we're going to win the midterms, but to lessen the damage is to get the Trump hardcore Republican voters out. They cannot stay home if they all come out and vote Republican.
We're going to be okay. But what will keep them home are high gas prices, high groceries, and the failed promise of mass deportations. If they don't feel like any of their campaign promises are panning out, they're probably going to stay home, and that's what's to me going to cause the biggest disparity. You know what's astounding to me? I don't remember a party trying to go to an election without answers to any problems.
We don't have answers to any problems. We have an answer to health care. Everybody knows Medicare for all is a folly. And they don't have any answers to inflation, oil, and gas. You kidding?
Let's drill less. Yeah. Let's have. Let's not have gas cars. Let's not buy oil.
I mean, what? What if there's not one policy they have to make people's lives better? They couldn't do it. They're the ones under them. They're spending where everything went flying up, but they're not saying, you know, the day of Newt Gingrich saying, "If you elect me, I'm going to transform, and this is how I'm going to do it." They're not.
They're not doing offering anything except for investigations are guaranteed. Rokana says we're going to have impeachment for sure. I don't understand why that is palatable. Yeah, and raise taxes. They want to raise taxes.
That's that's how they want to pay for all these things. Tax you more, people who are already taxed to death. And again, they will open the borders. They might not be able to do it right now, but in 2028, they'll be able to open the floodgates wide open. The millions that are here will get amnesty.
They will get voting rights. They will vote for Democrats. Democrats will get more seats and more apportionment because they're going to count all the illegal aliens that are here now and that they're going to let in. Republicans will never win an election again. Which is why I go back to mass.
Deportations of of all the things that we can control between now and November, ramping up deportations and not like Mark Wayne did, not apologizing. For deportations.
So, Darren, before you go, Daryl, Lisa Chevalier, she is going to be the new Elon Omar. Yeah, she is as radical as it comes. And, ladies and gentlemen, in New York, she's going to win the thirteenth district in New York. And this woman is nuts. October eight, she's protesting against Israel.
Listen to her last night, cut thirty one. This is the type of. Behavior that fascists engage in, and this is not a fascist city, and never has been, and never will be, and we're going to get them the out of our city. Classy. Yeah.
I actually think this is going to be more of a problem for Democrats, which is the only thing I think is okay about this. Because Hakeem or whoever is going to get Hakeem, they got to deal with that.
So, as much as I hate the fact that that's going to happen in these deep blue places where Democrats are going to win and the the worst Democrat is going to win, at least this is going to be a Democrat problem now, and it'll be better for Republicans in twenty twenty eight to see what the true Democrat Party is, and it's this: it's people like that. All right.
By the way, the Democratic leadership nowhere for Israel October seventh. Senator Schumer wrote a book about anti-Semitism. Not even calling it out. Tommy Lahren, your job now is to inform and entertain on outnumbered. All right, and then to keep your best stuff.
