So glad you're there. It's the Brian Kilmeade show. We have a big, big hour coming your way. One eight six six four zero eight seven six six nine. Fifteen days in counting.

We know into the big election. We know that for sure because I can do the math, and I also have a calendar. The other thing is easy to say: everybody's out. Bill Clinton is campaigning for David Jolly in Florida. Barack Obama is heading to Ohio and Michigan with El Sayed.

I'm trying to help out Sherrod Brown and Bernie Sanders is rallying with Angie Dixon Nixon, excuse me, over the weekend.

So, and AOC has been with Elsa Eid all weekend long. Lawrence Jones joins me now. Lawrence, great to see you again. I know it's like it's like it's his first time seeing you. No.

Big races. It looks like the Democrats have realized that the biggest race for them is going to be Michigan, and that's why all of them are surging into. But it's just crazy that all of these experienced politicians that normally have the pulse of the the community are willing to down this hill when he's such a terrible candidate. Abdul, I see. I don't understand.

And Mike Roy is getting really aggressive over the weekend and effective. And I think if. Because you know he's laid back and thoughtful, but you know when the other guy is giving bullet point statements and trying to fend off terror activities, I want you to hear you know terror accusations revolving around his family and then the people he associates with. Here's what Mike Rogers, when asked on CNN, he went on CNN. Give him credit for that.

Cut five. I've never called them terrorists. I wore the uniform of the United States of America, so people can pray any way they want. That is not the issue here. What has become the issue is his relationship and his family relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood, which is banned in five Muslim countries.

You know, he wants to play the victim. This is not about that. This is about the way you think, not the way you pray. This is about your ideology and how dangerous it is.

So that's who they tried. Dana Bash tried to get him. Didn't work. No. Can I break it down even further?

Because there's three points when it comes to the belief system and the connection, and the connection that that is at play here. First, it was the it started with the phone call. The phone call when we took out the supreme leader, and he said that there were people in his community in an address to his supporters, to his supporters, right, that would be offended.

So he didn't want to touch this issue.

Now this is the number one state sponsor of terror, and he doesn't want to take a position on it because he's afraid.

So it's like, who are those people? Are you friends with those people? And why are you afraid to to offend people that may support the supreme? Leader, so that was. Part number one.

Then it was number two, where the revelations came out about his mother, right, and her connections to the mother's brotherhood. It's alleged, but the sister confirms it on X, and those posts are shown. Then there's the sister-in-law, right, that was a part of the watch list.

Now he says that they sued the federal government and they won. That's not true. They lost in federal court with the appeal. That's the first time I heard that.

So you know, in the Court, they won, and then the federal court of appeal said, "Actually, there's nothing illegal." Who's president then? Barack Obama.

So it's like they want to make this a right versus left thing. But even the Democrats had questions about his film.

So all of that, Brian, and lastly, saying when you talk about his faith and what he thinks about Sharia law, and him saying, "Oh, it's the same thing as Christianity." I'm sorry, that worldview is just not good.

So, Dave Portnoy is Mister Everyman on bar stool, and was asked over the weekend about El Said. He's telling his nephews, "I don't want you going to Michigan University of Michigan." Me, he's him and his sister went there. That's yeah, and he said, "I no longer want you to. I don't like what's going on there." Cut seven. Everything about him makes me puke.

Same, and you know it. His entire attitude when you started asking him about his terrorist ties, his family ties—whether it's his mother, his sister-in-law, his sister—I mean, it's his whole family—and then he campaigned, obviously, with Hassan Piker, who said America deserves a 9/11, and Al Qaeda is better than the United States.

So he went out and did great booking with Peter Juicy over the weekend, but he's he's ripping about this, and because you went after Dave Portnoy too, good luck with that, Brian. We've been talking about this behind the scenes for a long time. There are candidates that I just don't like, right? That I don't like their policy position. This one scares me.

Because of his capabilities, if he is, and that he's not being totally transparent with us.

So let's talk about the other guy. No, you don't like. Let's go to Maine, Troy Jackson, the most unimpressive physically, mentally, mentally, in terms of preparation. He failed miserably to get the Democratic nomination to run for governor, and then he was going to support Platter for senator. And Platter implodes because of everything we've already discussed.

And then they have a series of debates against Susan Collins, who, if nothing else, I don't care if you agree with it, she's unbelievably competent. Here's the exchange that caused so much controversy in her debate. Try to listen close. Cut ten. I'm sorry, somebody's interrupting.

We'll have our security deal with that. AI data centers are destroying, killing, climate. They are poisoning our water.

So this is obviously one of Troy's supporters. Oh, shut up! I did not. I didn't. I don't even know that kid.

The center of console. Oh shut up! I don't care what her medical diagnosis. She is incredibly quick on her feet, and she reacts very quick. She's abreast to all the question, the the questions and the issues of the day.

And instead of combating what she had to say with something logical, he takes a cheap shot. Like that, it says something nasty too.

Well, you know what? His true personality comes a hundred percent. You know, Ainsley said one thing we had in common. I grew up in New York. She grew up in South Carolina.

You couldn't say shout about my house. No, could you? No. Yeah.

So you say, shut up! It better be a hundred percent, even to each other, like siblings. It was, it was, it was like the cardinal rule. But that was his reaction. Appropriate.

See, that's what they say about him. Yeah, he has a temper. He has a temper. Not to treat women. Not, not good to his staff.

Not to women. And then Brian, I, I can't believe. I thought you were going to highlight this today, but that interview on the Sunday show with Dana Bash of him not understanding the straight of her moves with Iran. Oh my God, Dana Bash. Was defending the administration, and he his position was that the Iranian regime would not maintain control of the Strait if we left out of the conflict right now.

I'm sorry, that's disqualifying. You're clueless. When Data Bash has to defend the administration's position, you know that you're an idiot, or just on misunderstanding. Right, but just the whole Strait moves. Yes, do you remember?

Do you remember the independent candidate Johnson? You weren't on the morning show, MSNBC. What is what is Aleppo? Where a mass murderer took place.

So what is Aleppo? Goodbye.

So he went from getting a four percent and maybe hurting Republicans to out.

So here's Troy Jackson. Dana Bash is giving him a chance to say I shouldn't have said that. Right. Cut twelve.

Some Republicans are saying that. There were stories when you were in the legislature of women who were there who said that you were—I don't know about talking down to them—but you were sort of aggressive in your tone, and that this is another example of that.

Some Republicans have been spending millions of dollars attacking me and my family, making speak to the issue untrue claims, things that they had to take off the air, and so it doesn't surprise me that some Republicans would be making claims. But but what about this claim? Speak to this claim. Yeah, I mean, it's just. I just direct people toward the interview.

He's slouchy. He's not attentive to. He doesn't seem like he wants to be there. Does this seem like a man that takes it all seriously? Within two points.

Within two points to be senator. Yes.

So it's like we see what's going on here. Yes.

Here's last chance. Danabas tries it again. Cut thirteen.

So, so again, the shut up thing. You're going to leave it as is. No apologies. Yeah, yeah. Which we know about you that we don't.

Well, I have an intense desire to deliver for people like Arbo, and that's what I've been doing for the last 20 years. You know, deliver for people.

So now you have it there, guys. She gave him that final chance. He goes, yeah. Yeah, and then she gives him one more opportunity because in the in true media fashion, they got to give you a layup, and his layup was make the final case for the people, and that was his response.

So I want to bring you to Texas, and I you know I was looking at. Meet the Press. Yeah, I think it was Meet the Press, or yeah, it was Meet the Press. Lonnie Chen, who's from the Hoover Institute, tends to be great. He's conservative, but he's not a Trumper.

He's not anti-Trumper.

So I always appreciate him. I always try to pull him for the show.

So they're asking about Texas, and you're the expert. But I want you to hear what he said. I'm going to play one long one, one short one. Here he goes. Talk about the Senate race.

Cut 14. With respect to Texas, I mean, look, you have to start with the baseline here. President Trump won the state of Texas last time around, you know, 14 points ish, and so you have to believe that there's enough sort of stuff working against gravity there to make James Tarico really, really competitive and potentially beating Ken Paxson. But cut 15. There are a lot of things about Ken Paxton's candidacy that have been troubling.

Whether it's his own personal issues, some of that background certainly is there. But I think if you look at the performance of Paxton in his last few races, 2022 when he ran for attorney general, a lot of this stuff was swirling around. And already, he actually outperformed Ted Cruz in 2018 when Ted Cruz ran in that cycle against Beto O'Rourke.

So I just think what we have to understand is that there are some parts of Texas where I think Ken Paxton is going to do really, really well. He's going to do better, in fact, probably than other Senate candidates have done.

Southeast Texas, the South Plains, the Panhandle.

Now, I get it. There's been migration into Texas. The population has changed, but I just think that the fundamentals in Texas still favor Ken Paxton, and I and I do think when all the votes are counted, Paxton is going to be the next senator from Texas. I mean, you've said that. I've been saying this from the very beginning, and and the the problem is Brian.

Is I understand why people are concerned with it because it is too close for comfort. I also understand that for people that are outside of Texas, Kim Paxton is really not a name. But I mean, he's been in office ever since I I could vote, and he's won statewide three times.

Now, is there room for some concern? You betcha! In the next couple years, it's so close with all the migration, all that. It's gonna be. It's it's gonna be.

Even more challenging, but is he really going against gravity here to win in Texas? I think so, especially with his policies, positions.

So I and I'm facing the nation. This is when Ed O'Keefe started looking at the numbers. This is when he said it's a dead. It looks like a flat-footed tie, but when they look at the numbers, it could be tilting the different direction. Cut sixteen.

If you are a partisan Democrat who has no love for the president and maybe no love for whatever Republican is on the ballot, but the challenge they're going to face, and and the the part of where our travel has taken us is to these traditional Republican states. Part of the challenge for any of these Democrats will be finding. Enough independent voters to vote for that person, and then peeling off enough Republicans. I was struck in your poll. Did you say only five percent of Republicans in Texas are willing to vote for Taylor?

I would think he needs a number bigger than that in order to help him in such a large state where Democrats haven't done well. And it's going to be the same dynamic in Kansas, in Iowa, in in the well Alaska to some extent, and then any of these other states where suddenly the Republican incumbent is on the ropes. There, there. It's 100 fair, and he's not going to get those Texans that are Republicans for three reasons. He's not going to get them because God is not binary; can't do it.

They're religious; you can't do that. That world view is not going to sit with them. When it comes to trans, trans, trans, everything, especially when it comes to children, not going to work with them. And the guy wants a state tax. Traditional Republicans, although they may be disagree with Kim Pack and some of his ethics and some of you know with his family life and all that type of stuff, if they would have just got a middle road person, if a Fetterman would have run, then yes, yeah, a Joe Manchin, they would have entertained.

But you are not going to get more than five percent. But you like to walk back all those positions with a if and a but. And they can read between the lines. That type of stuff may work in California, New York, but that's just not going if and buts. That's not gonna that that type of moderation.

You got to be definitive. You can't try to you know split the bathwater, the baby with the bathwater.

Well, he said with the non-binary, I was being provocative. State tax, I no longer want to deal with.

Well, we need to reinforce. But let me tell you something. If you're gonna run in Texas as a Democrat, don't be provocative with religion.

Sorry, you can be provocative with a lot of things, but it's the Bible Belt, and that's just not gonna work. They just started allowing alcohol to be sold on Sunday. That's how religious the state is.

So it's like. That's why you just be careful. Are you still in the habit of filling up your flask on Saturday? Right, mimosa, a mimosa, or mimosa, or sometimes I do it with some wine communion. Right, you got to have your communion.

So yeah, that's okay. That's what God wants, right? He wants you drinking on Sunday. At least, right? Maybe God can clean up the Hudson River.

Right, right. Last Texas story. Matthew McConaughey says, "Go independent." Cut twenty three. Why am I talking about this now?

Well, because the system has never been more lopsided. In 2024, 87 of the U.S. House seats were effectively decided in party primaries by just seven percent of eligible voters. Seven percent. And for most Americans, the real election is over before they ever even show up in November.

And that's not competition. That's more like a scrimmage. One team playing against itself, deciding the season for everybody else.

Now, skeptics are going to say most independents still vote partisan anyway, and they do. In most races, the parties are the only real choice on the ballot, and the few eyes we have sent to Washington have always had to pick a door—an R door or a D door.

Now that's two doors, but no third. The truth of it is, we don't know how many independents would vote for a true independent, organized, funded, owned by neither side, because no one has ever given us one. Oh, he's go ahead, Mister Taxes.

Well, first of all, that's just skill. He just demands attention with his voice. He just gravitates. Me and you kind of disagree with it. I don't think he's advocating for this big independent movement.

I think he's telling people to be independent when they go to the ballot box. See, I think he wants a candidate that is is not going to be a fake independent, like caucus, like Angus King and Bernie Sanders caucus with Democrats. Maybe they're not; they're Democrats. I just think most people realize you're never going to get the. I wore you out today between three hours on the couch, and now I just you feel no shame.

You feel no shame about it. I no shame. No shame, Lawrence Jones. Until the next time, appreciate it. Back in a moment.

Coming to you on a need-to-know basis because man, do you need to know? It's Brian Kilmeade. How can we help make stronger communities happen?

The more you listen, the more. We all know it's Brian Kilmeade. We're not far behind them. And during the Biden years, with open borders and a war on fracking and discouragement of entrepreneurialism, high taxes, we would be right where they are now. We're not very far behind.

But the problem is, there's no there's no solution because the Europeans think the medicine is worse than the disease they're suffering.

So that is Victor Davis Hanson on your favorite show, One Nation Sunday at ten o'clock. And I just I wanted to get a big, bigger perspective on what's going on in France and now it spread through Milan and Portugal, Milan, Italy, and Portugal. And that is, this isn't a bunch of people saying school is too long and the and the classes are too crowded. This is so beyond that. FoxNews.com has broke it down to all these insurgent groups that are going crazy are in there, organize five hundred thousand people.

That doesn't happen. Because, because of a social welfare system that's failed, but that's true. There's something else organized going against these Western cultures, and we have to we have to stop it. And do not think for a second that we're immune from it. I think some of this stuff is already happening here.

We're seeing with the DSA. We're seeing with the Democrats. You listen to the Brian Kilmeade show when we come back. Jillian Michaels joins us. Don't move.

So the brain has two systems: has a wanting system and a liking system. Liking is more the endorphin system, the euphoria system, the nurturing system, and we can see things on the screen or we can ingest things that we like. Wanting them is a separate thing. That's desire. That's appetite.

That's the dopamine or And we don't actually feel anything when dopamine is released, other than do that again. And in young people, that is fully active. Kids and teens don't have as much of that judgment and impulse control, and their social lives are so central at that stage.

So they're really, really susceptible to all of those social media features. And that's a cut from the second installment of Toxic Generation on the Break, available now on Fox Nation and the host of Keeping and the host. Of keeping it real podcast is the same person who hosts Toxic. It is Jillian Michaels, and Jillian is in studio. Jillian, thanks so much.

Finally, we're doing this face to face. I know. Thank you so much for having me.

So I know this series is really popular. I know you're back again for it. This is right up your alley, right? What are we eating? What how we work it out?

Well, it's a little more complicated this time because it involves kids, and essentially there's pre screens. And post screens, and we're looking at obviously with the foremost experts in every space we explore, what is toxic to our kids' health, mentally and physically. Right, and what do you find? Everything, Brian. Everything.

It's everything from chemicals and microplastics that get into the umbilical cord to the content and the algorithms in their social media. It's a bit. It's a bit dystopian. But what I will tell people is that if there are youngsters in your life, whether it's you know children or nieces and nephews, grandchildren, you're a mentor. It's something you have to watch.

It is a must-watch, and I think that just taking simple steps that are provided will make a really big impact, physically and emotionally, on the child in your life. Here is talking about something we've been talking about a lot, separate from toxic, but as part of your part of your episode about the screens. Cut sixty-nine. Earlier, someone gets a smartphone, the more likely they are to have mental health issues later in life. The more time a teenager spends on social media, the more likely that kid is to become anxious and or depressed.

Some of the best design studies: the heaviest users of social media are about twice as likely to be depressed as lighter non-users. Even in other studies, you see at least often a forty percent or a fifty percent increase in depression from not using social media to being a heavy user of social media. Have they figured out why? Has to do in large part with the algorithms and the way it's rewiring their brain. It's.

It's diabolical, and while you can say to parents, "Hey, you know, you're you're responsible. You're you're the the front line here. You're the primary role model." The reality is that we're talking about teenagers, and this is where their entire generation is living.

So when you take the phone, you're basically alienating them. All their friends are on Snapchat. All their friends are on TikTok. This is where they're consuming their content, listening to their music. Following their sports idols.

You can't just take the phone. It's not that simple, and the platform itself is designed to addict them. And unfortunately, it serves them exceptionally negative content that makes them feel less than. And that's putting it mildly. And I think these platforms need to take some responsibility.

We're making small steps in that direction, but there's certainly a lot of work to be done. You know, what's interesting is the music thing is something that I can't imagine. I don't know anybody that grew up and didn't want to buy an album. Right, or cassette tape. DVD, and now it's all streaming.

So you say, okay, give me your phone.

Well, what am I? Where am I listening to? Am I going to go to a turntable? You got it. Am I going to go to the radio?

You know, yeah, you could go to the radio. That's great, but it's not usual where they're going right now. No, and all of their friends are gaming online. Like they don't meet up to toss around the football. They're all online playing Call of Duty.

Did you find this with your kids? Oh, of course. I have two teenagers, and this is why I'm saying it's. Just not realistic to say.

Well, you don't give them the phone. You do give them the phone. There are parental controls on the phone, but the reality is, then they're going to go to a friend's house. And Dr. Drew said in the special that most boys see porn.

By the time they're 12 years old, before they even had their first kiss, and it's not like the kind of porn, you know. Oh, Dad had a Playboy in the bedside table. It is like break your brain kind of stuff. And these kids, you know, you're looking at what's happening. For example, in the Cornell Seven case, and you're wondering where we went wrong.

Without assigning blame, let's presume both sides are responsible for where that went.

Well, when boys think that women only exist on screens as commodities. And when girls are told their body is their brand, and we sell this to them as liberation, where do you think all of that messaging is coming from?

So it's a double-edged sword. Yeah, but now. That generation kind of got screwed, and the one older. Yeah.

But now they're starting to say, and I see this everywhere. You know, red states, blue states, no phone until twelve, no to phone to fifteen, and now they're having whole countries ban it up into fifteen, sixteen.

Now Australia is having limited success, but they say it's because that generation already got exposed. Can't take it away. But what if you never start? If you never start, I mean, maybe, but again, we go back to the same problems, and I experience them. Of well, where are you going to watch that music video?

How are you going to listen to your favorite artist? How are you going to follow what's going on in the news? And I can tell you, my son. Is more engaged politically, and you might think it's a bad thing, but I actually don't because of how it's teaching him to think critically. He learned about Charlie Kirk watching YouTube.

I wouldn't change that for the world. It's just take their phone. He's not going to watch it, right? He's not going to know who Charlie is. He's not going to understand these arguments.

He's not going to appreciate the things that we are facing as a nation. And as much as you might say, well, that's a lot for a fourteen-year-old. Yeah, it is, but this is the world he's living in, and understanding how to navigate it. There are good influences online as well, so it's a combination as a parent of taking as much control as you can, setting parental controls, setting time limits, taking it away at night, not allowing them to have it in the classroom. But you also need these platforms to step up and do the right thing.

There shouldn't be, you know, algorithms designed to target kids. They shouldn't have likes and. Thumbs up and all of that because kids get addicted to that engagement. These things are terrible for kids. Comments should be shut off on their posts.

None of that should be allowed right now for them. Yeah, no doubt about it. I think I do think there's a five alarm fire with that. But then you have AI is coming up right behind it. Right, and now we don't believe anything we see.

I got some people writing, so I have this book out now, United States. I've gotten three or four people wrote me directly to say, I try to get them to look at history and things, but all they do is get everything from TikTok.

So you can't get them off, and then you see so many negative things about the country on TikTok. I don't believe the Chinese are are done with it. I think they're still manipulated. Oh yeah, I just anti-Israel stuff too. I just had this conversation with Nate Friedman.

I am not sure if you are familiar. I know, yeah. Brilliant kid, citizen journalist, actually here in New York. He's had three of his documentaries taken down off of TikTok, and you know, you look at. I think Larry Ellison bought a.

Piece of it, but ByteDance still owns a huge piece of it, and if you want to destroy a nation. You you brainwash younger generations of Americans into thinking their country is the root of all evil, and the the worst is Israel. You know, pro Palestinian. Where did this come from? Where did this come?

Well, here's where I think, and you know, we're diverging a bit from from toxic. But if if you if you'll permit me, but that is some of the toxic things you get online.

Well, you're absolutely not wrong. I think it's coming from Qatar. There's a great article in the Free Press that outlines this in detail, and it's called "How Qatar Bought America." They've put, I think, ten billion into our universities. Israel's put five hundred million. Come on, come on, right?

Wake up! And it's it's not just the universities. They also have PACs that back candidates, and it. I truly believe you know the Muslim Brotherhood has a they have Al Jazeera. Like, wake up!

There's an entire media network that has been put together to brainwash our kids into thinking their country is the root of all evil. It's infiltrated higher education. Look at Abdul Al-Sayed's sister. Who went viral for talking about how much she hates the university she works at, but she only stays there because of the influence it gives her over young American minds. And this is a woman who gave October seventh blessings, you know, celebrating the rape and murder.

But if I bring it up to Abdul, I'm trying to get off subject. It's not putting food on people's tables or bringing down the price of groceries. As if he has an idea how to do that. Right? He has no idea.

None at all. None whatsoever. I was actually just talking to Mike Rogers. And I was like, Mike, talk to me about universal health care because you know you can appreciate that the healthcare system in our country is definitely messed up. What's the reality of that?

He goes, That would cost us seventy trillion dollars. I go. Hold on. the the deficit that's crippling the country is forty trillion. You're telling me universal health care for all is seventy trillion?

Yeah, I mean when they say Medicare for all, they say four point seven, four point seven trillion dollars. We have like a seven trillion dollar budget every year, whatever it is. But anyone who says Medicare for all is unserious. Yeah, I mean Bernie Sanders. These people are all unserious.

If the objective is quality health care for an affordable. Price that should be the approach, but they just say if you don't like it, it's because big farmer wants to keep you sick or big farmer wants to destroy you or charge you. How is this administration doing with the Maha movement?

Okay, you know, listen, I I like to provide some perspective here. Xavier Becerra, who's God help us. Possibly going to become the governor of California. Previously had RFK's job. I bring this up because he was lobbying to remove age restrictions.

I'm just going to say what it is on sex changes for children. Gender affirming care is a complete psyop. It's sex changes for kids, right? It's like terrorist, freedom fighters, sex changes for kids, gender affirming care. You're going, I don't know, I don't think so.

Nobody complained. Not a doctor, lobbyist, and a lawyer. Not not a peep. This is the kind of stuff that was happening before Kennedy and Trump got in there.

So not only were we not making any progress, we were Actively sliding backwards in the wrong direction.

So now, with Kennedy and Trump, we really are kind of in a situation where you get a win, you get a loss. It's neutral. You get a win, you get a loss. It's neutral, and it's like almost dealing cards, right? One for me, one for them, one for you.

Artificial colors and foods. Do people wake up that? I could do. I could go even farther than that, right? Did they pass that?

They they did pass that one, and that's going to be phased out, I think, by the end of twenty seven. I can't remember the exact date, but they've restructured the dietary guidelines, for example. And while you might think it's just an infographic, we often think of the food pyramid. It's not. It directs the subsidy flow of billions of dollars, and Brooke Rollins, who obviously runs the USDA, partnered with Kennedy.

And the idea is: okay, now we're going to take this these subsidy flows, and we're going to force anybody that takes SNAP to provide healthier options, and we're going to guide these subsidy dollars towards healthier options. And it's the dietary guidelines that feed our kids in public schools that feed our military.

So something like that is a real. Really big deal, and that started. There's been a lot of these things. Yes, a lot of wins along those lines. Removing COVID shots from the CDC schedule for kids—big deal.

Making it. Shared decision between the parent and the doctor, so they can decide if the you know oh he didn't just taking it away he didn't take it away he made it a shared decision between the parent and the doctor. There's a lot that they've done here. Operation Stork was getting chemicals out of baby formula, but if we're being honest, there were two big two big losses. And I would be irresponsible to not tell you about them.

And one is giving immunity to Bayer for glyphosate. And I appreciate what Trump said, in so much that there is a concern if you just remove the pesticides, the herbicides, the fungicides. Our entire food system is built on this. That is true, but what I would have preferred to have happened, and this was, of course, like the day after they lost a seven billion dollar lawsuit for people who had come down with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, is all right. We got to phase this out.

We're working on a solution. We're going to decrease this incrementally over the course of a decade and arrive here. That would have been. My preferred way of doing it, and vapes for kids. We should not have flavored vapes, and they are.

Honestly, they exist to attract children. Those are two big losses. Please tell me why we need that. I mean, there's absolutely no reason why we need that. It's like smoking that doesn't hurt you just as much, and and that is a heavy vape lobby that was successful.

Yeah, Jillian Michaels more with her in just a moment. Toxic Two is now out on Fox Nation. You got to check it out. More of that, more because Jillian's not allowed to leave because I tease her, and she's such a professional. She would never leave me.

Back in a moment. Politics, current events, and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say. Stay with Brian Kilmeade. 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 We Share Health. We Share Isn't health insurance? It's a nonprofit Christian healthcare sharing organization, and their members pay up to sixty percent 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 one eight eight we share for a free quote. That's one eight eight eight we share.

Or visit we share health dot org and take a look for yourself. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kilmeade Show. Hey, we are back. Jillian Michaels is here.

She's the host of Toxic: A Generation on the Brink. This is part two of the series that is now available. Jillian, today, right on Fox Nation.

So you host it. The one play I want to get bring another exchange, and we talk about being overmedicated. Kids overmedicated. Cut sixty eight. The problem these days is that the diagnosis is being made by a pediatrician.

I mean, you don't want your kids treated for a serious mental illness because a pediatrician gives you a form to fill out and that you're you're positive and you check the right boxes. You need somebody with expertise before a child gets put on on a medicine, and that person with expertise could also offer you alternative therapeutics and really talk about what the range of possibilities is for your child. What are the risks of overmedication? We don't even know. The spectrum of potential problems.

We have developing brains here, so you want to expand on that, Julian? Yeah.

Well, you know, listen, we see it with adults all the time. Your your general practitioner. Oh, you want a little Ambien? Oh, can't sleep? Oh, you're in a bad mood.

How about some Prozac? They don't. They are not psychiatrists. You know these doctors subspecialize for a reason. When you do that with kids and you don't fully comprehend it, it's catastrophic.

And as Doctor Drew mentions, in ways that we don't even fully understand yet, these are serious drugs with serious side effects. And you get a kid that's fidgety in school, and the first thing you do is drug them for ADD. And let me tell you, that is a reality. It just is. I've I've now seen it with both of my kids.

Like, oh, he's having a hard time focusing. Let's medicate him. I'm like, no. What's the traditional medication? Is it Ritalin?

Ritalin. Yep, methylphenidate, which is a version of that. Um, oh, your kid's feeling down, sad. Oh, we better put him on Prozac. I I grew up with that.

I had a friend. Sadly, I had two. Actually, they committed suicide with those medications in high school. It's, you know, I've stopped all of this with my kids because of the experiences that I've had personally, and because of the doctors that I speak to regularly. But you can see how a parent wants to do the right thing, and they're like, "Oh, you if you really love them, you'll put them on these medications." You know, you are disadvantaging your child; you are setting them up to fail.

And it's really disturbing. We just got a minute left. How do you feel about the shots for kids on Ozempic or any derivative of when these kids are out of shape? What do you think? Kids are no, and here's the reason: they have we we have GLP one receptors throughout our entire body, and very responsible, credentialed pediatricians have told me we have no idea what this could look like for kids as their bodies are developing.

With these GLP one receptors, taking these medications and then them needing to stay on these things for the rest of their lives, the results could be devastating. But we don't know yet. We just know, too, with adults, you lose it, but you got to work out, right? People listening right now, you lose it, but you lose muscle, you lose bones.

So yes, you have to work out, absolutely, and eat right. But the goal is to get off of it. Pick up Toxic. You go download it right now on Fox Nation. You got to click on it and watch it.

From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmeade. From 48 and 6 in Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, around the world. This is the Ryan Kilmeade show. Where over the weekend, another horrific stabbing over in the subway, just awful.

I worry a lot that Commissioner Tish, who was honored at the Al Smith dinner for just being great at her job, if she ever resigns, we're going to be in a lot of trouble. This hour, I'm going to be joined by Mark Tison, who just got here in studio, a rare treat. But before we get to Mark, let's get to the big three. Number three, we would be right where they are now. We're not very far behind.

But the problem is, there's no, there's no solution because the Europeans think the medicine is worse than the disease they're suffering. France on fire, and it might be spreading throughout Europe. It's hit Lisbon, and it's hit Milan. Why is this a cautionary example for us? And shows how right Trump was to seal our borders and cut down on immigration.

Number two. Last night, I'm told in Kiev it was more of a nightmare than usual, as the Russians, sensing victory, just bam, sent those missiles and drones in one after the other. It's heartbreaking, and people of conscience, but also people with sense of American security interests, need to focus on this and do something before we get too deep into this winter. Ukraine Russia conflict causing riffs everywhere as Trump does a diesel deal with Putin, and Zelensky takes aim at the White House. We go over the.

Facts in the road to peace, if there is one. Number one, this is nothing new. This is what they do when they have no actual message about the real issues in people's lives. They don't want to talk about any of those things, so instead they want to talk about my mom or my sister. Like, I just—it's not serious.

Really, fifteen days in the consequential midterms. Here we go. We have we we have what we could be the final polls and campaign pairings as Trump headlines in mostly deep red states. And Teratized might be catching up to El Saeed in Michigan. Mark Teeson.

Before we get into niche affairs, we have a lot to discuss with with Ukraine, especially. And today, I saw the Iranians. Yesterday, said I wish the Americans would take us up on opening up the Strait of Hormuz within seven days. But we know, with on the other. Side of that, yeah.

I just got to ask you about El Sayed, sister, the sister-in-law, the mother, direct ties, and one was on the terror watch list under the Obama administration. Come on, yeah. No, he's deep in the Muslim Brotherhood. He's a jihadist. Trump is right.

Look, I did a column on the Washington Post about this, and I actually dug into his own writing.

So he says, "Well, you know, why are you focused on what my mother did in the '70s?

Well, let's talk about what you did in 2011 when you wrote a, or 2010 when you wrote a column." Calling for a Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt and saying that people who think it'll be an Islamic dictatorship like Hamas were were irrational and and you know at that and then the Muslim Brotherhood takes over and they immediately shut down the press, shut down the crackdown and there's a popular uprising against the Muslim Brotherhood.

So let's talk about that. Let's talk about the fact that you in 2012 and every African American voter in Michigan ought to know this. You came out against Barack Obama's re-election, wrote a column. In which you excoriated him, and one of the things that you were complaining about was that he's droning terrorists. The the drone campaign that he was he was doing the war on terror on steroids.

So you opposed Barack Obama because he was killing Islamic radicals. You supported the Muslim Brotherhood yourself. This is not your sister. This is not your sister-in-law. This is not your mother.

This is you on the record supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, opposing the droning of terrorists. Tell me that you're not a jihadist. Of course he is. Of course he is. And the thing is, the one thing I give, I just think have more highly of Michigan.

Michiganders to think that they would put this guy in office. This is bigger than Michigan. If twenty five years after the September eleventh, two thousand one terrorist attack, I mean, it's bad enough that New Yorkers elected Momdani as mayor for the twenty fifth anniversary. But if we are going to take a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood who's not personally. Supporting of the Muslim Brotherhood on the record opposes droning terrorists who attacked America after the 9/11 attacks.

Al Laki saying, "Oh, he's killing American citizens without a warrant." You know, give me a break. The guy was a was was the biggest at the time. AQAP was the biggest threat to America in terms of external attacks. This guy, if we are going to put this guy in the United States Senate, that is a stain on Michigan. It's a stain on the United States.

This is this is this is the most important election. I am the country on on election night.

So here's Mike Tobin confronting him about his sister and the tweet and everything. Cut through. There's reporting and a lawsuit that now backs it up and documentation with a lawsuit that Miriam Jikaku, who's your sister-in-law, that she was on the terrorist watch list. Yeah.

What's your response? Basically, it's exactly the point. She did nothing wrong and was captured on that and then sued and got off. And then what happened is she was put back on because that was a district court, and then she was put back on that list. And you know how she how she sued to get off of it.

She did. She joined a lawsuit by Care, which is which is a a ally of Hamas and and Hezbollah and all these terrorist groups as well.

So she's tied up in them. His father in law is involved with a group that was caught up in the in the Holy Land Foundation suit for for that. He's spoken at their conventions. El Saeed has, which is a, which is a, it's a basically a terrorist front group, or alleged, I have to say, but they they were involved. They they they were alleged that their bank accounts were used to funnel money to Hamas during the Holy Land suit.

So this is this this guy is deeply deeply involved, and you know it's you the family is the smoke. But his own words are the fire. He he is he is he is expressed his his support for Islamic radicalism, and we cannot have an Islamic radical. And by the way, if you're a Muslim American, I know we're not going to peel away too many Muslim American voters from in Michigan from Dearborn. Do you really want the first Muslim in the United States Senate to be a jihadist?

Right. To be a Muslim Brotherhood supporter? Do you? Wouldn't you really rather have somebody who is who is a pro-American, loves this country? You know, it would be terrible for the Muslim American community.

But I'll tell you, there was there. You know, people don't realize this. There was a Pew poll, so there's not like some crazy right wing poll. Pew poll earlier this year, forty four percent of Muslims in America support Hamas. Forty four percent.

Now six. You know, almost sixty percent don't, and that's good. But we have let in into this country. You look at what's happening in France. You look at what's happening.

Directly related. It's it's that's our future. Because we're letting millions of people into this country who hate America, who don't support our values, who don't believe in what in the principles of the Declaration of Independence, and. And you know that that that is going to come bite us. Rokana wrote me after I said the most ridiculous statement ever.

He says it's income inequality. Yeah, I saw his tweet this morning. You know, the best way to to advocate for for better schools is to burn down schools. Exactly. Yeah, this has nothing to do with schools.

How many teenagers are there? Maybe it started with first minutes. But you see how old these guys are? No, it's it's a bunch of Islamic radicals and jihadists who are. Who are waging war on Europe right now?

And it's not just in France; it's in it's in Italy, it's in it's it's in Belgium. It's all over the all over the continent because they have they they are committing cultural suicide in Europe, right? And you look at the situation now. They promise. This is the other thing.

I I think it plays a role in this. You tell me if you if you agree. When you promise free daycare, free preschool, when you say a thirty five hour work week, and you retire at sixty years old, and free healthcare. What what do you these people this society when they started passing all these policies this society was eventually going to go bankrupt. The UK is the same thing; they're going to go bankrupt.

Now they're not happy with their healthcare. They're not happy with their schools. They're not happy with the quality of daycare. They're not happy with the preschools because it's it's government run and it's never incentivized. No, it's exactly right.

And by the way, also you know France just recognized the Palestinian state.

So you would think that the the the jihadists would be would be happy with France, but no. lot of lot of Palestinian flags. what you What you're what you're seeing in Europe, and it's coming here in America because this is El Sayed. This is a what you call a red-green alliance. This is an alliance between Marxists and Islamic radicals, and they are they are they are working together because they both have a shared common enemy, which is Western civilization, and they're trying to destroy Western civilization.

El Sayed is both. He's Islamic radical and he's a Marxist and he's lying about both. He says I'm a capitalist. I don't support the Muslim Brotherhood. Hell no.

You are if you if you want socialized medicine, you're a socialist. If you he supports the entire Bernie Sanders DSA agenda when it comes to policy. He's a socialist and he's an Islamic radical. He is the Red Green Alliance incarnate. We cannot allow that man to be in the United States Senate.

I hope the people of Michigan is really up to you. And believe me, you have a very good alternative. It's not like you have a flawed candidate. You have an extremely, you have extreme guy. I think is is Heritage Foundation conservative ranking was like six or out of ten or sixty out of a hundred.

So it's not saying you. It's an extreme conservative against an extreme leftist. This guy, Mike Rogers, is as level-headed as you want. A self-made success story in the military and the FBI. I do want to talk about what's happening over in Ukraine.

As the President United States says, for sixty days, I want to be able to buy. High refined diesel, diesel from Russia. How do you feel about this deal? It's a terrible idea. I don't think it's going to actually happen.

Why? Because I think this is this is a this is not driven by Ukraine policy. It's driven by the midterms. the The reality is is that diesel prices are high because of what's happening in Iran. If you look at the Institute for Study of War chart, I actually asked them to overlay the price of diesel in America with the Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, and it shows there's absolutely No correlation between between refinery strikes and the price of diesel.

It's the Gulf states, and and but what's happening is. Nebraska is in play. Iowa is in play. Kansas is in play. These are farm states where the price of diesel is really hurting farmers.

And the president, what the president should be doing, and and he's doing to some extent, is going out and saying, "Look, I know this hurts, but the but we are we are trying to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. Farmers are patriots. If they see that that that this is for a cause for our national security, and that there's a plan to win it." You know the biggest problem we have with with Iran is not the war; it's the peace or or the ceasefire. The the the most people are not. If you go out to some of these states and talk to people, they say, "Yeah, I want it to end, but I want to win." Right when when everyone's saying, "Oh, we got to have the war end," they yeah, they wanted to end, but they want us victor.

It's a victory. What did Donald Trump promise the American people? We're going to win so much you are going to be sick of winning. The critique. Of of the foreign policy of the Democrats and Republicans who came form is we never win anymore, right?

So he asked if if they see a path to victory, they're gonna they're gonna back him on this. But the idea that we're that we're gonna be buying diesel from Russia, it's it's all driven. And this is why what Zelensky is doing is so stupid. I I love Ukraine, but but he just takes the bait for every reporter who asks him a stupid question and tries to draw divisions between him and Trump, and he needs to. Understand this is not an issue of Ukraine policy.

This is the Republicans being worried about the midterms, trying to demonstrate that they're showing that they're doing something to bring down diesel prices. And once the midterms are over, all the pressure for this stuff is going to go away.

So the president put on Truth Social. My decision on Russia is very simple. I am in process of negotiating peace Russia and Ukraine, and don't want to do anything that will drive that will drive foolishly Russia away from the bargaining table. Great progress being made, and that includes current hostage negotiations. I don't know what that's about.

Signing that document at the end.

Well, time will do that, and I can sign it later or any time that I want. Perhaps most importantly, Russia is doing very little, if anything, to help the Islamic Republic of Iran compared to what they could be doing. And I want to keep it that way. Yeah, he's look. I he's using the he's using the sanctions, the Lindsey Graham sanctions bill, as leverage, right?

He can. It's a it's a sort of damacles hanging over Russia that he can bring down at any time. I think that's fine. But I guess the idea what what worries me is that the idea that we don't. There are people within the administration who don't seem to understand that Russia is the aggressor here.

If if do they not understand that really? I I don't. It's sometimes I think some I don't think the president doesn't understand it. I think that the I think that there are people around him who don't. And here's the thing, Ryan.

You said this to me off the air before we before we went on. If tomorrow you offered a deal to Zelensky, stop the war on current lines, security guarantees. And the the war ends, he'd take it in a heartbeat. Putin wouldn't, right? Putin is the aggressor.

He wants all the Donbas.

So here is the thing: he just lost in Donbas. They tried to take Donetsk, and the Ukrainians routed them and pushed them out. He's we were we were told a year ago that Donbas is going to fall in in a matter of months. It's it's a lost cause. They're losing in Donbas.

The Ukrainians aren't pushing them out of the parts that they control, but they're not making gains. They're not taking it over. It would probably take them decades of fighting to to to get to get that. Why would you get? Why would we give Putin territory that he hasn't been able to win on the battlefield?

The two things talking to somebody very close to negotiations. They said it's wrong to say that President Trump has not lost his temper with Vladimir Putin. He goes, he's extremely hard on him. But it's all behind closed doors, and the one thing about the Russians, they don't leak.

Okay, for various reasons, they have no press and very small cadre there of people to leak.

So I want you to hear what Dave Ignatius said because. I happen to know too that David Nacion has been dealt into a lot of this. Yeah, you have the Wall Street of of the Washington Post. Yep, cut forty six. I think Trump always has this idea of a you know the big beautiful bill, the big beautiful peace deal, and he imagines getting everybody around a table.

The Wall Street Journal has a very important story this morning saying that there's an idea in the White House of bringing China in, so you have Xi, Putin, and Trump all together around a table, sort of Yalta like at the end. Of World War Two, making the deal that, in some way, carves up Ukraine. That's the kind of idea I can imagine Trump celebrating. He's not wrong, Joe, to want an end to this war. This war is a nightmare.

By my count, in August, you had 1,400 Russians. Killed or wounded every single day, and the number of Ukrainians, I'm sure, was similarly large. It's it's a monstrous conflict, and it's going to get worse this winter. But the idea that the way you stop it is by giving Russia freedom from the most powerful weapon Ukraine has is crazy. It's just it defies logic.

That's what I'm hearing. As I as I talk to people in the U.S., in Europe, and in Ukraine, I'm hearing that. What on earth does he think he's doing?

So Trump is a hundred percent right. I agree with David Ignatius to try and end the war. There's no way for Ukraine to win it in the sense of getting back all of its territory. There's no way for Russia to win it. And so every every Ukrainian, every Russian that dies is a wasted life at this point.

It's he's a hundred percent right that it has to end. Donald Trump just demanded a an energy ceasefire. Ukraine agreed. Russia didn't. And they kept and they kept striking.

They are purposely striking energy targets in inside Ukraine in order to freeze and starve the Ukrainian people into submission.

Okay, and so you can't ask Ukraine to not to do a unilateral energy ceasefire.

Now, what what you can do is you can say, hold it on that. When we come back, Martise and tells us what we can do as an option. Don't move. In a world of noise, get the signal—sharp, informative, and always on point. You are listening to Brian Kilmeade.

How can we help make stronger communities happen?

Well, at JPMorgan Chase, we invest in what's working—in businesses that create more jobs, in hospitals delivering care where it's needed the most, in workers building new buildings, bridges, and roads, connecting what we need to where we live.

Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kilmeade Show. Look, got a couple minutes. We tease how this is getting. How could this end?

It's very simple. It's a long have have.

So we, if we want Ukraine to stop doing energy strikes, which is fair, then we we what we should do is give them the satellite coverage in order to take out the ballistic missile sites in exchange. There other Trump keeps saying there are other targets.

Okay, well let's help them hit those other targets. And one, if you want to stop the, if you want to have a energy ceasefire, the best way to do it right now is to let the Ukrainians hit the ballistic missile. That are attacking Ukraine's energy. That so, if they, if they, you know, the idea, the principle is, it's right now where they're trying to take arrows out of the sky. Right, take out the archer, stop them on the ground.

If you can take out the ballistic missile sites, take out the drone factories, take out the things that are attacking Ukraine, then we can completely stop Russia's ability to attack Ukraine, which would force them to the table.

So the solution is to put the military, increase the military pressure on Russia. And but we and and Ukraine stops striking diesel in exchange for that additional support, and we can end the war within a year. Mark Teason, do you think that Lindsey Graham would have talked to the president before he made? Oh my gosh, the loss of Lindsey Graham is is first of all he's such a great man and such a good person. Um, yeah, I mean he would have talked to the president about this.

He probably would have. He probably would have been calling him. And come up with another option. Yeah, because he also knows the president wants to get diesel and oil down. Yeah, he would, and he would.

He would find a way to do it. He would come up with something like this. Yeah, I mean, this is the solution. Let Ukraine stop. You can't ask Ukraine to stop striking energy while Russia is striking its energy.

So stop the Russians from being able to strike their energy.

So read the Washington Post. He Mark outlines how dangerous this senator candidate, the Democratic senator candidate, is in Michigan. The stealth candidacy of Abdul El Sayed. Mark, thanks so much. And in ten seconds, I'm going to be on your podcast.

Absolutely, it's happening. It's happening! I can't believe it. The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmeade.

It's always an extremely unique place in the Middle East. But we live in a very hostile environment. A lot of terror groups all along the borders. All with one mission: destroy Israel. This terrorist group, Hezbollah, wants to see Israel's destruction.

My country is fighting for its life, but its main enemy is the West. Hezbollah brought war. Hezbollah has thousands of advanced missiles that can target anywhere in Israel. We saw things that we'll never forget. Israel should count on Israel to defend itself.

That is a cut from a documentary that's now out called "Paging Hezbollah," and you can understand what that means. Justin Folk and Rodham Avni joins us right now. They're part of the new documentary. Justin is the director, and Rodham is an Israeli armored armored corps officer who has served under more than two hundred and fifty days of reserve service since October seventh, and nothing's been the same since then in the Middle East, especially in Israel. Welcome, guys.

I appreciate it. Thank you.

So it's one of the most. The minute it happened, it seemed so surreal. Everyone said this is going to make a heck of a movie, but it's even a better documentary.

So what could you tell us, Justin? We'll be exposed.

Well, the details are incredible of this story. I think we all felt the same way when we saw the news notification. We're like, how did they pull this off? And the real fortunate thing is our team is able to go in and get the inside story from the people that actually did the operation.

So, the film Paging Hezbollah, we basically interview people the top top of the chain that were involved in this operation. When did it start? The pager operation was about two years ago is when it started. It was on the heels of another operation called the Walkie Talkie operation.

Now that that operation had been in the works for about ten years. Ultimately, that was the second thing to go off after the pager. Ended up being the second thing. The reason that Mossad did not use the walkie-talkie operation for ten years or so is because the operatives were not carrying the walkie-talkies on them usually. It was only about five percent of the operatives had walkie-talkies.

Most of the time, these walkies walkie-talkies were put in storerooms, and so they needed to figure out another way. And so that's that gave birth to the pager operation. They said we need something that they will carry all the time, something that they will use for communication all the time. And and the the pager operation was born from the walkie-talkie operation. And Rodam, what could you tell about your role?

Well, I'm the associate producer of this movie. I'm honored to be a part of this. It came to be like very, very spontaneously. Like, well, Justin was very curious. We met at dinner.

He was very curious about how is it to live in such a way, and I just show him in. Just let him walk in my shoes and. Rotem was our boots on the ground, so we're an American filmmaking team, and we needed to get into Israel and really connect with the people there and have have some things open up for us.

So Rotem, I met Rotem at at a dinner, and I'm like, "Hey, would how would you like to work on a movie to tell this story?" And he was game for it. But Rotem was was essential for our team because in that relationship building that needed to take place with the highest level of the IDF, at the Mossad, and everything else, we we really had to build those relationships.

So Rotem was. A lot of help for that.

So was Mossad willing to talk? The director of Mossad is in the movie. He's like the star of the movie, right? David David Barnay, yes.

So and and when this when this whole project started, he probably was not the director, right? Not the walkie. He was the director for the pager operation. Yes, he was not the director when the walkie-talkie operation started ten years ago.

So I want you to hear a little bit of the documentary. Let's go to number sixty-six. We knew Isbala preferred to use pages, so I said, "You have to turn this pager into a bomb. This could be the turning point of the whole war." This was a modern-day Trojan horse. His brother began to get suspicious.

The clock was ticking. Are you sure that it's going to work? The only question that remains is the decision to push the red button. That handful of TNT changed the world.

So, we should set the scene at the time. What was what was happening at the time? October seventh had happened. Couple days later, Hezbollah decides to bomb some such, rocketing Israel from the north, basically clearing out the northern side of the country. Nasrallah still in charge.

He's looked at as a hero because he able to repel and and have some, I guess, stand up to Israel in the past after the invasion into Lebanon.

So he's a he's a formidable figure.

So he gets taken out, and then Hezbollah. Who? Anyone carrying a pager. Those pagers went off.

Now a lot of people are saying, "Why would you carry a pager in 2025, 24? Why would anyone cover a pager? Why were you guys? Why were they carrying pagers around?" Do you know? Yeah, of course.

Well, basically, there's a bit that Nasrallah is talking to his people and saying, "In saying, far away your phones, you're doing a great service for Israeli intelligence." And basically, because you could track somebody if they held their cell phone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then this movie, this woman, she says, "Like okay, let's give them what they want." And it's actually a genius marketing move what they did. Yeah.

So when you heard that they said Nashua said, "Throw away the phones," they said. They're going to go back to pagers, which is one generation prior, right? And so, Mossad had to do at that point was figure out, okay, where are they getting their pagers? And there, there happened to be a company in Taiwan, Gold Apollo, that they were buying their devices from, and Mossad was able to essentially get into that supply chain by contacting the company of licensing the Gold Apollo brand. And manufacturing their own version of these pagers.

They also hired the woman who was the main sales manager that was selling pagers directly to Hezbollah.

Now she knew Hezbollah was a terrorist organization, but they didn't have a problem with that. Taiwan, and yeah, the woman, the woman in Taiwan in this company, and so they hired her away. They started a shell company.

Now she didn't know she was working for Mossad. She just thought she was working for this other company that was producing this new brand of pager. And so the the supply chain, the the relationship between the sales manager and the Hezbollah buyer stayed intact. It never changed. And so when Nasrallah said, "Get off your phones," we're using pagers, which can only receive messages and not transmit them.

It was like there was not even a bump in the road. Everything continued as normal. And Mossad created these pagers. The the real problem there was they had to figure out a way to get the explosive into the small device. And that's hard to do, and so the the pager design became bigger, and the the initial fear was like, why are they going to buy these things?

These are big chunky things, and so that's when it became a marketing operation. They called it the rugged pager. It was like the fighters' pager. It was it was the pager that only the best of the best of Hezbollah would have, right? And so this marketing operation kicked in, and it's the rugged pager.

You could drop it in water. It had a batteries that could be recharged, and it became a status symbol. Was it a commercial? Yeah, there's a commercial. There was a commercial online, like a kind of a a low-fi commercial that Mossad created that Hezbollah saw, and they ended up buying these pages, and it became a status symbol.

You were the You were the cool fighter if you had one of these. Yeah, who are the who are the guys with the pagers, Robert? Only the top of the top. Only the you know there was when the pager operation went off. There was about five thousand pagers.

Now there's hundreds of thousands of operatives in Hezbollah, but it's only the top of the top that had these pagers, including, for example, the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon. Right, so like the highest of the highest level of people. How many died? Only a handful.

So this is something that we we discuss in the film that people don't know about. The pages were not designed to kill the person; they were just designed to hurt them and take them off the battlefield. They're tired of making martyrs out of these people because they know as soon as they kill a Hezbollah operative, they bury them, and two weeks later another one pops up.

So they wanted to keep them on their healthcare system. They wanted to keep them in, you know, as a visual reminder to the to the young young fighters. This is what happens to you when you. Does and so as a result, you know, fingers were lost, eyes were lost, but they lived. Most of them lived.

I think there was a maybe a handful that were killed. They did detonate, like you said, the walkie-talkies the next day. Those killed more people because there was more explosives in the walkie-talkies. But the pages were designed just to hurt the person and and basically be a visual reminder to the young fighters. What was it like when this went off from the Israeli perspective?

Wow. Amazing, extraordinary. You, it's a mixture between pride and like you know we're in in in a middle of existential war, so it's mixed feelings. But really, really proud and and like it it gave us hope. You know, it was a really tough time.

What what is the view of the IDF now after since October seventh? And what all the work you guys have done to neutralize and truly damage and diminish Hezbollah and Hamas?

Well, now when the seventh of October started, I think Hezbollah were at their peak, and it was. Devastating. If if if Hezbollah joined Hamas on that day, it was devastating. It could be very very devastating for me personally. If they attacked the same day, if they attacked in the same day, it will it was it's like I can't even imagine.

And my my my wife and look how far I told look how far Hamas got into Israel, right? Yeah, and Hezbollah is much more powerful and efficient and like more organized and sophisticated. Until today, until today, we're still facing Hezbollah. They're like they're in a bad shape, but they're they're still a constant threat. I live in a kibbutz near the the Lebanese border, and you still hear, you know, you still hear the fighting going on because they're still there.

It's still threatening, and. We're doing as much as we can to defend our people. They definitely had to regroup. I mean, we're talking about years and years of billions of dollars coming from Iran. I mean, it was significant.

There was hundreds of thousands of ballistic missiles. The prime minister mentions in our movie the most dense area on Earth of ballistic missiles.

Now, a lot of that's been taken out, so that threat has been pushed back. The pager operation. It was a domino effect. It was the pager operation, the airstrikes to take out the weaponry, and then ultimately, when they took out the. Sarla himself, and so the capabilities of Hezbollah has been diminished massively.

But they adapt, you know, they're like cockroaches, right?

So, you know, they're they're using drones now. They're using technology that's you know being fought and used in the Ukraine Russia war, and they're trying to to adapt to that. But the northern border in Israel is is safer than it has been in decades. And Rotsman can speak more to that. But it was really bad.

I think us Americans we don't really understand how bad it was in the north, and that's why if you really want to fix it, you got to. Fix Iran. Because Iran just going to resupply, they're going to build up, and if we're in a period of a peace, no one's really going to stop it unless you can interdict, interject the, intercept the delivery, right? Yeah, exactly. And a big piece of this was Assad in Syria, so Assad was basically a puppet for Iran, and Iran could send weapons and missiles or rockets with impunity through Syria into southern Lebanon.

Now that's been cut off because when when Assad fell, as a direct result, by the way.

Okay. Of Hezbollah being taken out by these pagers and by the by the airstrikes because Hezbollah Assad never really had a really great army. He always relied on Hezbollah to back him up in the in the in the civil war and the Russians and the Russians.

So he always had Hezbollah and the Russians to back him up.

Now Russia was busy with Ukraine, right?

So they they they had too much on their hands to intervene. And then when Hezbollah was a setback, they could not step in, and so Assad fell like way faster than I think any of us really. Realized, but that was a direct result of Israel's action against Hezbollah.

So, where do you think you're at right now? Is you have an election coming up in Israel, and Netanyahu has been very aggressive going after the enemies and Israel. It's amazing that Iran has not tried to rocket Israel in months.

So, where are you at right now? Where do you think the country's mindset is to finish up, finish this job, or they feel like the job is finished?

Well, first of all, I'm not a really politician guy.

Okay, from the military perspective, do you feel like you want to finish the job, or you feel like the job is finished?

Well, as long as I live, the military we are always on. You understand? We are always alert, and this is the job of the the army. And I don't see it really changing because we have a rough neighborhood.

Okay, and we. I guess we we will. This is our life, just living with our sword. This they're saying, and so you're willing to fight. It doesn't doesn't matter.

What do you think of Gaza right now? What condition is Gaza in right now? Do you believe Hamas is still in charge? Yeah, there's still. I guess.

I guess Hamas. I we well. We actually know Hamas is still there. It's still a problem, and until someone steps in and remove Hamas, there's going to be still a lot of suffering because no partner for to negotiate to to bring peace. Exactly, Justin Folk and Rodham Obney are here.

Their new documentary, "Paging Hezbollah," is now out. Guys, where do you get it?

Well, it's going to be theaters. Actually, October 30th is when we open in theaters nationwide, and so we we highly encourage people to go to the movie theaters to watch this movie because it's not just a normal documentary of talking people. It's this is is a very cinematic film. It's about the most incredible spy operation. It's a spy thriller, and what I hope as the filmmaker is that people will show up for this incredible spy thriller story, but they'll learn a lot in the process.

They're going to learn who the good guys are and who the bad guys are, and I think right now in America, that's that's more important. Right, I think it's also more important in Europe too. Yeah, no, I think Europe's a little confused. Have you ever thought about where this Palestinian movement came from? It was basically dead with Yasser Arafat for a while.

Hamas was looking, you know, after that election that they won, it's pretty much understood they're run as a terror organization. Why have we forgotten that? Yeah, I think. We have short memories. The Western world has short memories.

I think I think they don't realize what the intentions are. We forget what the intentions are now. Yasser Arafat, and of course now Hamas has been funded by the Qataris for a number of years, right?

So that's where they're getting their money and weapons, and also Iran too.

So even though Hamas is a Sunni Muslim group, and Hezbollah is a Shiite Muslim group, now Iran is Shiite. It does, but and usually those two groups don't like each other. Right, but in this case, it's the the enemy is your enemy is my enemy, right?

So, Iran had no problem. Getting money and weapons also to Hamas because they had this ring of fire plan where they had proxies all around Israel and at the appointed time they could collapse and what they call the noose of death. And October seventh was supposed to be coordinated. It was supposed to be an invasion from the south and the north. What happened?

Well, there is different theories on that. There is some disagreement. The prime minister says that Hamas jumped the gun. There is also the fact that. General Soleimani was taken out by Trump in 2020.

General Soleimani from Iran, head of the IRGC, was responsible for all the proxy groups.

Now, with his removal, that coordination suffered.

So you kind of credit never recovered. It never really quite recovered that communication level.

So you can kind of credit. President Trump for removing Soleimani that October seventh wasn't worse than it actually was. Guys, congratulations! I cannot wait to see. It's going to be in theaters.

Look for it. Right, October thirty. Tickets go on sale October twenty first.

Okay, and buy buy your tickets early because basically it tells the theaters, hey, this is in demand. They're going to release more screens. Yeah, but we really need a lot of Americans to see this movie. All right, it's called Paging Hezbollah. Go order it now.

Go wherever you PagingHezbollah dot com. Paging. That's where you order your tickets. That's right. That's where you find tickets.

Yeah, Justin. Rodham, thanks so much. Thank you, Brian. Back in a moment. Newsmakers and newsbreakers here at first on the Brian Kilmeade Show, the talk show that's getting you talking.

You're with Brian Kilmeade.

Hi everyone, Brian Kilme here. Thanks so much for listening. Just really excited over the weekend. I had a chance to go to Red Bank, New Jersey, and then over Long Island, Westbury, Long Island. Thanks to everyone who came out for United States tour.

The book is out; it's doing well. Thanks to you guys. The six crucial moments that forged the American miracle. If you want to appreciate this country even more, and how close we came to not existing, and why we thrived and always are resourceful and resilient, these are the examples that tell the story in Year Two Hundred and Fifty. You go to BrianKilme.com for.

For to get to get a book, obviously you can get them wherever you want. But also, I set up something with my Barnes and Noble right by me.

I'll sign them. And then we'll go out to your house, no matter where you live around the country. If I'm not coming to you, but I am coming to Palm Beach on Saturday, and I'm coming to Vero Beach on Sunday. BrianKilmead.

dot com for details. I need you to register for tickets. Don't move. You're listening to Brian Kilmeade.

So glad you're here. From the Fox News Radio studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmeade. Hi, everyone!

So glad you're there. It's the Brian Kilmeade Show. We're in 48th and Sixth in Midtown Manhattan. Heard around the country, around the world. Again, thanks so much for everyone coming out over the weekend in Red Bank, New Jersey for the United in the States tour.

Talking about my book, Six Crucial Moments that forged the American miracle. And then we're in Westbury this weekend. I'm also going to be in Palm Beach on Saturday and then Sunday in Vero Beach. Two of my favorite stops. I've never been to Palm Beach before for a book signing.

I've been there for in life, and it's unbelievable.

So hopefully, I get to see a lot of people in person. That. We're going to be in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Then it's going to be Jacksonville, Florida, and Clearwater. Those are going to be full shows in the theater.

So Brian Kilmeade dot com for Texas, streamed on Fox Nation. Standing by is Michael Goodwin, a New York Post. And we're going to get him in a moment. We're talking about a lot of things right now. The first lady in the United States talking about AI and how it relates to schools.

Big announcement, and it's she is quite much more active and involved than anyone thinks. And that'll be a story that's going to be written. She's holding a press conference right now. President's going to be busy. He's going to Kansas today a little bit later.

Barack Obama heading to Ohio and Michigan. Kamala Harris launching a multi-state blitz in Nevada, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and Georgia. AOC is campaigning. Campaigning with El Sayed over in Michigan, so and Bill Clinton is. Did I say that?

Yeah, he's campaigning with the Democratic nominee for governor, David Jolly. Let's get to the big three. Number three, we would be right where they are now. We're not very far behind. But the problem is, there's no, there's no solution because the Europeans think the medicine is worse than the disease they're suffering.

All right, that is Victor Davis Hanson. On with me on One Nation talking about France. It is on fire. Talking about five hundred thousand people protesting over the weekend. One hundred ten thousand in Paris alone.

This is a scripted, organized series of anarchists going crazy. This is not about schools and wearing down society, but it's a it's a canary in the American coal mine for us. I'll explain. Number two. Last night, I'm told in Kiev it was more of a nightmare than usual, as the Russians, sensing victory, just bam, sent those missiles and drones in one after the other.

It's heartbreaking, and people of conscience, but also people with sense of American security interests, need to focus on this and do something before we get too deep into this winter. Ukraine-Russia conflict causing rips everywhere, as Trump does a deal with Vladimir Putin for diesel, and Zelensky takes aim at the White House. We go over the facts and the road to peace, if there is one. Number one, this is nothing new. This is what they do when they have no actual message about the real issues in people's lives.

They don't want to talk about any of those things.

So instead, they want to talk about my mom or my sister. Like, I just—it's not serious. They're serious because there's connections to Islamic extremists like the Muslim Brotherhood. You clown. Fifteen days into the consequential midterms, we have we have what could be the final polls and the campaign pairings.

As Trump headlines is mostly deep red state. And terrorized might be catching up to El Sayed. That's what I think. Michael Goodwin, New York Post columnist, he's talking about the DSA is teaching Mom Dami a lesson about leftists loyalists. Believe it or not, as crazy as this mayor is, as left wing as he is, condemning condemning ICE when he can while skipping all ethnic celebrations.

The DSA is not happy. He's not extreme enough. Michael Goodwin, welcome. Good morning, Brian. Thank you.

First off, when you look at France and people want to say, "Wow, Europe's bad." Glad that's not us. I really believe that this is this is a warning signal for us. Do you? Oh, absolutely. You know, it reminds me of a phrase somebody used about the French in an earlier conflict: the cheese-eating surrender monkeys, right?

And it had to do, of course, with World War Two. I mean, France surrendered its capital without a shot. That that history, I think, weighs heavily on the French government and its reluctance to take on these criminals.

Now, I think, is a bad omen for the future of the country, not just in the short term, but in the long term. If people can get away with this, what? Will they do next?

Well, so it's an unaffordable welfare state that they promise people free preschool, free school, free healthcare, retire at thirty-five hour work week, and retire at sixty. The math doesn't add up. There's no entrepreneurs over there. Listen to Macron. Wait a couple of days to before he addressed his people, and I still think he's going on his Middle East jaunt.

Cut forty-eight. Those who destroyed must pay. Those who plundered must pay back. Those who sought to bring down the republic will have to answer for it. That's it.

That was through a translator. That's it. Can you believe that? Right. Well, go ahead.

What are you waiting for? Right. What they're doing. They're doing it now. They have done it.

It's clear. But this this refusal to fight back, to fight for your country, that I think is a. Is what's causing this. There's no pushback. There are no consequences, and so it's like a child, right?

If they can, if they can get away with it, they will. I mean that that is a weak leader, an unpopular leader, of course. But yet, I think the weakness is what stands out. And it's if you won't protect your country, you will lose it. No question.

So let's talk about what Mondami did. I saw him show up at the Al Smith dinner. He didn't show up at a Polish event. Doesn't show up at the Israeli Day event. Doesn't show up at Columbus Day parade.

And yet, when it comes to ICE, the first thing he does is condemn ICE, not the not the guy who is here illegally from the Dominican, not the guy that chased his neighbors with a machete, not the guy that reportedly tried to use his car as a weapon to get away from ICE agents. Instead, he condemns. He condemns. Ice again and says he should be disbanded, and people are mad at him, right? Right.

Well, the the left is mad at him because he will not fire Police Commissioner Jessica Tish, that she has done a terrific job. To come from you know who her two sponsors were originally, Brian Ray Kelly and Bill Bratton. That's a Pretty good lineage to come from when it comes to police commissioner. Doing a great job. She has done a heckler job, and for Mom Donnie to be pressured to fire her is a sign of how crazy the crazy left really is.

And she kidded about it, the Al Smith dinner too. But why does she do that? Because because she might be not condemning ice wasn't strong enough in doing so. I mean, they look at these crime numbers going down, and he knows that she has a lot to do with it. Also, the word is that Kathy Hochul said, and not that she's any any great leader.

She said, "You have to keep her." Yeah, that's that's probably right because Hochul doesn't want to see. Crime on her watch, so she benefits from a safer New York. And yet, the crime numbers are near miracle. And as you look back twenty, thirty years, any mayor would have given their, you know, the right arm to have this kind of statistics. I mean, crime has been an evergreen, and every mayor has had to fight it.

Donny was lucky to inherit Jessica Tisch from the previous mayor Eric Adams, and so he was wise to keep her on. But the but the fight on the left is to delegitimize. Enforcement of the border, right, and that anybody who commits a crime needs government help, not arrest, not prison. I mean that again. They would not fight for our country, for our city, and Mondani.

That's who's. That's a. That's his home team.

Now the question remains: Will he go with his home team, or will he stick? With what is keeping New Yorkers safe? Also, he's not considered pro-Palestinian enough. You know he's not. You know the fact that he he's pretending not to hate Jews, which we all know he feels differently.

When he was running around screaming, as a would be a future state politician, we all know how he feels.

So whether he truly moderated his views or he's just keeping it under wraps, it's ticking everybody off. No, it's interesting. Is this Dolorisa Chevalier? This guy, this woman, is out of her mind, and she is the she's been critical tangentially of the. Mayor and called for the commissioner to resign, right or be fired.

Yes, you know, Brian. I refer our listeners to my column because I have an an anecdote from LBJ that I've always treasured, written by one of his aides. But it's about LBJ. In the summer of '67, all the riots around the country, and he had done so much for the for black voters, for black citizens. He had done all kinds of great society programs, and yet he's getting attacked by the left wing of the Democratic Party.

And some of it is over Vietnam, of course, but the book tells a story. Him meeting with top civil rights leaders in the summer of 1967, and he says, "Liberals, what is the difference between a liberal and a cannibal? A cannibal only eats its enemies. It's amazing idea that how the left eats its own, and that's what Mumdani is is up." Against and I hope it brings some sense to him to realize the left is a destructive force. It is not a constructive force.

Well, Michael, you're saying that he's not a part of it. I think he's. I think he's just as out there as anyone. He just has a job that, if he says it's exact, in my view, if he says exactly what he's thinking, he probably wouldn't be able to keep it.

So that's right. I wish he was a guy I could judge him on his actions, and so far on this, he has kept Jesse Katisch. What? That's one of the telltale signs. Yeah, I mean, I always hope that people grow in the position.

You have your idea, then you get in there. But now, do you see that the DSA is already making it clear that making orders to Kim Jeffries? Should they get the house, that they better do X, Y, and Z. They're already making demands. I look at that direct line.

Mondami is there? Is there great? There great Ugandan hope.

So he's the one that broke through first. And now they think they're going to get a bunch of Chevaliers and others, including I got the guy Rab over in Philadelphia, and then there's other DSA people in Colorado. The ones that get through, they think will wield the power in the House.

Well, this is we should face it, Brian. This is a revolutionary movement. They're not looking for reform; they're looking for revolution. And I think that's what is at stake. And the Again, we have to fight back, not not not anyway except at the ballot box.

But look at what's happening in France when these movements get started, and nobody pushes back. Then they then they assume the path forward is open, and that's what I think. Good citizens have to keep reminding the left: stay in. Lane, right? You don't get the whole country.

You don't get the whole city. The rest of the rest of us. Have a voice too. I hear you, Michael Goodwin. Thanks so much.

The New York Post. Check out his column about a mayor that continues to astound with his ineptness. Let alone his Pierre de Tair tax, which has been a disastrous rollout and blown up. The fast buses aren't working out. The ridiculous state-run, city-run supermarkets are a joke.

Sooner or later, people realize what a joke he is too. Thanks so much, Michael. We'll be back in a moment. You. From the Brian Kilmeade Show, don't move.

Keeping you informed, engaged, and always a step ahead. It's the Brian Kilmeade Show. Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kilmeade Show. Iran was the biggest sponsor of state terror.

Had killed more Americans than than any other country in the world over decades, and they were clearly on a path to a nuclear weapon. And does anyone doubt that under? A President Harris, they would have achieved a nuclear weapon under her regime.

So under her leadership.

So this is exactly why President Trump had to act. It wasn't an easy decision politically, but it was the right decision to protect America and our kids. And I think so much. And if you think about it, I know the president doesn't want to sell it this way, but we'll talk about it in perspective. You realize after October seventh, Israel had one choice.

They had to eliminate these these the ring of fire: Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and of course, Syria. Where they were housing Hezbollah, so they did a lot. When Hezbollah ends up getting kicked out of Syria, when the Russians stop watching their back, and when Syria flips to a different government, they're no longer welcome. And then we watch Nasserella die, the Pager operation, and the incredible operation to take out to take out Hezbollah at the same time, taking out Hamas and diminishing them succinctly. But the whole problem is they're going to be rebuilt because of Iran.

So Iran was rocketing Israel too. You might not remember, but they were doing it on a regular basis. Biden really was able to coordinate their defense in many ways. Have to give him a lot of credit for that, and Lloyd Austin's Pentagon for that. For that, and and I'll discredit him on Afghanistan and everything else.

But then we get over to the situation where they're still building up their nuclear program, still fortifying all their proxies, and they're building a nuclear program.

So the president took it out in 2025, and then we get to the point where they were about to. And continue to bomb and and continue to foment unrest in the region. And the president had an opportunity to to warn them not to kill their own people. They did, and they had opportunity to take out their hierarchy, and he did kill that. The grand ayatollah was going to die anyway soon anyway, and kill the the the new supreme leader's wife and others, and wiped out a lot of the higher up of their country.

And then tried to finish them off. We were unable to finish them off because survival was all they needed. There was no insurgency to walk in. And then we find out they're going to rock at the Gulf States. But meanwhile, as long as Israel, excuse me, Iran was empowered, there's never going to be forget Israel.

There's never going to be peace in the any type of peace or semblance of economic enterprise, robust enterprise flourishing in the Middle East because of Iran. And you see it: the resentment they have to the UAE, the resentment and the anger they have towards Saudi Arabia. You see them being attacked by the Houthis. When the Houthis attack, it's really the Iranians. And then you see the disdain they have as they.

Blow up pipelines, and also go after Bahrain and Oman, and then Oman sells their soul and tries to broker some type of peace. But you know exactly who they are. Here is more from Senator McCormick. Cut sixty. If you have any doubt about the intentions of Iran or the lethality of Iran, look at what's happening with them supporting the Houthis, which is that which is another terrorist group that they're currently underwriting.

So they're the they're the the baddest actor in the world. They had explicitly said they wanted to destroy the Great Satan. They had explicitly supported a path to a nuclear weapon, and the president took action and has set that back dramatically. and And now they face a choice: they can either give up a nuclear program and have A patch of prosperity, or they can continue to be strangled by the economic sanctions and and the military price they've paid because of the president's actions. Yeah, and that's where they're going to be at.

Look, if there's no doubt about it, it ups the price of almost everything that we have because it's energy related. Core we core inflation a lot lower than actual inflation because of energy. If you listen to me and driving a truck right now, you're saying, Brian, I just spent a thousand dollars. We used to spend six fifty filling up my filling up my truck. I get it, I understand it, but just knowing the big picture, this has been our enemy forever.

We have a chance of long term. Long-term peace, the best you can ever have in the Middle East, if we can get rid of this government, who, by the way, is being suffocated in a way they didn't think was possible. And I think the Chinese are helping. We got to unwind and pressure them there. Use some leverage to do it.

The Houthis will be defanged when Iran is defanged. And when people come out like Senator Tim Kaine just ended Roe v. Wade, we're just going to walk away with the blame. And people say that they're not thinking about American security; they're just thinking about Americans at the ballot box, looking for a quick answer. Ballot box.

All right, you listen to Brian Kilmeade. I'll be able to take some calls when we get back.

So, in the order in which they receive one eight six six four zero eight seven six six nine. Don't move. You listen to Brian Kilmeade's show.

So glad you're here. From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmeade. I'm sorry, somebody's interrupting. We'll have our security deal with that. So this is obviously one of Troy's supporters.

Oh shut up! I did not. I didn't. I don't even know that kid. Oh right, the senator council.

Shut up! You believe this? Shut up! On an instinct. This guy has a reputation for being a bully, not treating women well.

And what is his answer?

Someone yelled out. Obviously, this is pro Troy Jackson stuff. He's saying data centers are ruining X, Y, and Z. Data centers is obviously he's a Troy Jackson reporter, a Troy Jackson supporter. He believes what he believes.

And you know, they were talking about having legislation that would bring certain parameters before you build a data center. That would have been the comeback. I could do the debate right now. But this guy, just slouching in his seat in an interview, had no interest in apologizing. Listen to this, cut eleven.

This week there was a protester in the debate that you had with Susan Collins. She responded by saying, "This must be a Troy Jackson supporter," and you told the senator, "Shut up." Do you regret saying that? No, you know, she said that it was Troy's order. I mean, she accused me of setting that up. I had no idea who it was.

I mean, I was surprised whenever he jumped up out of there. He didn't accuse. She never accused him of. Of setting it up, says that's a supporter of yours, and to shut up. The whole issue is shut up now.

I I don't want to be gender specific, but evidently, if you have a reputation for being abrupt and abrasive with women. Allison, does this reaffirm it? For example, is that a hot button for you? If someone says, or your husband says, "Shut up." Number one, I was never as a kid allowed to say that. That was almost like a curse word in my house.

No, I mean I would agree with that, and I would say Andy knows better than to say that as well. But it's one of it's sort of more like a curse word. To be fair, like I don't is it a sexist thing? Where if that was a guy, would it not be a big deal? I don't see it as as much sexist.

I just see it's like such a rude way to say something. Should he have apologized? Yeah, when he doubled down, saying like I don't feel bad, but he could have said I should have chosen better words. But you know, clearly it came out very naturally. It seems to be a term he would likely use often.

But yeah, no, I agree with you. Like my son said, shut up the other day. I'm like, whoa! Like it caught me off guard. Like we don't say that.

Like it's just, I don't know why it's so jarring. But it's just, there's better ways to say it. I'll put it this way: I think that the latest CBS poll had him winning by two points. And evidently, she's been notoriously underpulled. When you see this performance, this type of candidate, evidently, I haven't really studied Maine, but they had some really impressive, like lieutenant governors and controlers, people with great reputation.

She's beaten them all. This is the this is the least impressive candidate. Out of all, El Saeed, I disagree. I think he's dangerous. Everything I hear about him is linked to Muslim Brotherhood.

It's real and disturbing, but he's a competent candidate. This guy looks like a mess. But you see him on his feet, yeah. But they were on another network. I heard them say this morning.

Basically, is that what they're going for in Maine? Though, like sort of that more rugged, down to earth. I mean, the Plattenar, sort of the same thing. Lobster fisher. You know what I mean?

Just sort of like. You know the true mean.

Well, I I appreciate that, but if you saw Platten was losing already, Susan Collins.

So I mean, he was losing when he's usually up by ten, eight, six, too close to call.

Now it's she's up by two, which is I mean, it's got to be really that's got to be major league anti-Trump to begin with, because the only thing they tried to get her on was his her vote for Kavanaugh, who told her she wasn't going to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Okay. I hate to tell you, but no one's talking about Roe v. Wade this cycle. Nobody. They're not even talking about the whole thing.

Women's rights. That's just not a hot issue. But they're making it a big issue in Maine, saying like for those single issue voters, that's the only thing they care about. I was listening to a whole segment this morning about how that is the issue, which. I find hard to believe, but apparently there's a sect of voters in me that they're claiming that is their one issue.

So, Anthony Salvanto on Face the Nation talks about the Democrats what they hope to do in red states: cut seventeen. Anybody who does any kind of you know business or marketing knows that to get two hundred thousand people to change what they normally do takes a lot of money and a lot of time. Do the Democrats have that operation to do it? Remains a giant question. And that's the gamble the president continues to make by making these stops: is that if he shows up, the last ten years of electoral history shows his voters show up.

So if he can continue to visit, as he's going to again in the coming days, Texas, Georgia, he's headed to Michigan. Finally, other parts of the country. The churn they hope is that enough of those people who were sitting on their hands before get up and go. I think the number is. He's got approval of sixty plus percent with the traditional Republicans, ninety three percent with traditional, traditional, MAGA.

You know the MAGA group, right?

So they're all going to vote. Traditional Republicans only sixty three percent approval. That gives some people hope, but there is also a poll. There is also one poll in particular that I think that is really going to go Trump's direction, and that is enthusiasm. Those who say they will vote: 84 percent of Democrats, 77 percent of Republicans, 82 percent of of Independents.

They believe that Trump showing up can close the gap in enthusiasm just because who he is. GOP approval, as I mentioned, 93 percent for MAGA, Republican, 63 percent. All right, it was seventy-seven percent traditional Bush-like Republican, Mike Rogers-type Republican.

So it was seventy. He's got to get that up. Will he be able to get that up? If they contrast with the difference would be key. This is the key thing with voters.

The Dems are up twelve in turn in terms of. In terms of what voters are looking for, the Dems have the advantage by twelve. The Republicans have had an advantage of sixteen last cycle. And the big, the big challenge, the big challenge for everyone: the gas prices. Forty-four percent say that's how they'll vote.

Sixty-eight percent will say the number one reason I will vote against Republicans is is diesel, and fifty-two percent oil. And lastly, on the polls, this is an ABC poll. Fifty-two percent want the Dems to win the House. Fifty-nine percent want Congress to be a check on Trump, and will vote Democratic.

So we'll see what happens on that. When you go down to individual races, it's hard for me to believe. That Mike Rogers is not a better alternative to independents and moderates. Obviously, the Republicans' alternative than others to Jewish the community in Michigan. You got to be kidding!

Listen to what Haley Stevens said. Haley Stevens said that who lost to El Saeed by just a percentage point says that Rogers, Mike Rogers, is quote. Working the black community harder and more successfully than we have ever seen a Republican do, or at least that I can remember ever. That's cold smart.

So you might talk in a grandiose macro way of trends in the country, and then you got Mike Rogers in Michigan not looking at that, just saying, "I want you to give me a shot to vote for me." You totally you voted for Haley Stevens, and I know you don't want to vote for El Saeed. There is nothing about his socialist agenda that you find attractive, so why don't you vote for me?

So I think that that is. Pretty vital. Lastly, I like analysis. I like intelligence analysis. It's not emotional.

And when I've looked at Lonnie Chen, who is with the Hoover Institute, I think I found that pretty succinctly. He just talked about where we're heading. He knows the momentum is on, and just because of tradition, history, and and inflation. Let's just say, and let's say the economy, which normally is in Trump's lane, but believe me. If Trump did not do the Iran war and gas was two dollars and ninety cents, they would still say that Trump had no momentum and his approval ratings are down.

I know it.

So here's Lonnie Chen on the Texas race. Everyone thinks, "Oh, Paxton's done. He's never letting one." Paul, that's true. But then when you break it down and think about it, this is how you should approach it. Cut fifteen.

There are a lot of things about Ken Paxton's candidacy that have been troubling. Whether it's his own personal issues, some of that background certainly is there. But I think if you look at the performance of Paxton in his last few races, 2022, when he ran for Attorney General, a lot of this stuff was swirling around. And already, he actually outperformed Ted Cruz in 2018 when Ted Cruz ran in that cycle against Beto O'Rourke.

So I just think what we have to understand is that there are some parts of Texas where I think Ken Paxton is going to do really, really well. He's going to do better, in fact, probably than other Senate candidates have done.

Southeast Texas, the South Plains, the Panhandle.

Now, I get it. There's been migration into Texas. The population has changed, but I just think that the fundamentals in Texas still favor Ken Paxton, and I and I do think when all the votes are counted, Paxton is going to be the next senator from Texas. See that would be huge, and if this comes out, look, president wins by fourteen. Not to worry about Texas.

You have to worry this time. President wins by twenty-four in Kansas.

Now you got to worry about. It looks like Marshall's only up one. If that, if it's a margin of error, you got to wonder. President's there, okay. Then president goes to Nebraska to make sure that it's Ricketts again.

He was an effective senator, but he's running against a so-called moderate. We'll see what we'll see where that goes. All right.

So when you look at all this in the big picture. Let's say a ten-point win or two-point win. Let's say a twenty-four-point win's a one-point win. Nobody cares. But in the end, think about what Democrats were chasing.

They were chasing the Senate by going into deep-red states, wasting a ton of money and time, where they could have tried to ice up blue seats or try to get seats in other areas, House seats. I think that what do they say? 18 seats are up for grabs that will decide Senate. They said 11, excuse me, the House. They say 11 seats.

The Cook Report moved 11 seats to lean Dem, and most of those seats are in the Midwest, which wouldn't bode well for Senator Eusteed over as a Republican in Ohio.

However. Have you looked at the polls? Have you looked at what JD Vance did, and if you look at what Bernie Moreno did, they were winning. They were not winning at this point in the race. They won in the end of the race in Ohio.

Which, when we first started doing politics at Fox News when I first started, they said if you win Ohio, you win the presidency. If you don't win Ohio, you can't win the presidency because it's the ultimate bellwether state. No one says that anymore. Then they said it about Florida. Nobody says anymore.

It went firmly red. In the end, how much has really changed? In a year and a half, how many people in Ohio think that going Democrat is going to be more pro-factory, more pro-worker than Trump? These are the people that are telling you. I'm not saying Sherrod Brown is saying it, but there's other people are saying it.

Most Republicans, the hottest guy is Bernie Sanders. Still, Medicare for All. All those union members that work so hard, collectively bargaining to get the best health care, giving up salary wages for security and health care and benefits, are they going to give it up for Medicare? Are you crazy? It doesn't make any sense.

And lastly, the other thing is, you have to ask yourself, what do people? What will Democrats do when they get in? When I bring up the socialist Chevalier over in New York and Mondami as a mayor and Bernie Sanders with all his disciples, people say, "Well, Brian, they're not going to control the party." So then you go, "Okay, what about the moderates? They going to control the?" Oh yeah, they're going to control the party. Is one of those moderates a slacking?

Yeah, maybe it is. Let's listen to what Alyssa Slackton says should happen. Cut twenty-two. I am into effectiveness, and if we have the House but not the Senate, you know, I don't have a ton of faith that my Republican colleagues are going to have any more strength.

So that's what I'm saying. I want to look at these signature cases and not just focus on the president, but on the people who enabled him. I want young people coming out of school to say, "Should I go work for the Trump administration? Like that sounds fun. I might get an opportunity." I want them to be like, "Lord, that might be buying myself." A ton of problems that I don't want, and so let me avoid participating in that.

I want that deterrence message sent. Is that unbelievable? She is somebody I expect some extremists to say she wants to make sure the next 22-year-old doesn't work for Trump, or that they're going to be afraid for their freedom. They're going to go to jail. Nuts.

Good luck with that. That's an agenda, not for America. Big guests, bold opinions, better information. This is the Brian Kilmeade Show. He's so busy he'll make your head spin.

It's Brian. And Kilmeade. Hi, everyone. Welcome back. Real quick, I'm going to be outnumbered at the top of the hour, but I wanted to bring back this interview I do with Oscar Nomani, the senior investigator editor at Fox News Digital, said incredible column over those horrendous riots still raging over in Paris and what it means in the big picture.

Who are these people, and what do they want? Listen, Asra Nomani, the senior investigative editor at Fox News Digital. Asra, what makes you think this is? And I agree with you, but what makes you think this is bigger than a bunch of high school kids who want better conditions?

Well, Macron can go to Fox News Digital and see the 54 names of groups that we've identified, and they are specific to the communist, socialist, far left. Network that is in Europe and in the world, they work with the Islamist groups that are very anti-Israel, and that's why you're going to see the Palestinian flag along with these images of the hammer and sickle in all of these protests. You don't see the French flag flying in order for them to get a better France. They're trying to destroy the nation, and we can see this spreading throughout the world. I mean, what is attractive about communism?

People. Just sober up. There's nothing good about it. I thought we figured that out when the Cold War ended. These are the key groups you outlined: French Communist Party (translation: France Unbowed), the CGC Labor Union (translation: Solidaires Students), and Urgent Palestine.

Obviously, you know what that means. The translation: Muslim Students of France.

So, this fundamentally it shows the president is right with his Truth Social post last week when he said, "This is what happens when you open." Up your borders and let anybody in. Yeah, and what has happened is that they've taken very legitimate grievances that people have in society over schools and public services and exploited them. And Brian, the important point is that this is also exactly the same playbook as the far left groups are doing in the United States of America. We've seen it over the last decade, and they're amplified by a network by a man that is sitting in Shanghai named Neville Roy Singham, who is pro communist. Is A self-avowed Marxist, and these U.S.

nonprofits are amplifying the protests in Europe, in India, in South America, in order to make it look like a global revolution for ideas that, yes, we thought had long ago expired. Yes, I think we could extradite that guy. He keeps coming up. Georgia Maloney noticed what was happening in Italy. She came out right away and said, "Once again, the women and men at law enforcement have had to face the violence of criminals, even though organized and even though organized groups exploit demonstrations to seek confrontation and so chaos." Same thing in Portugal.

We're seeing this spread throughout. How big could this get? And do you think that finally these European European countries can realize the enemies there and hurting them from within, and take legitimate action instead of waiting for days and just tweeting and having a benign statement like Macron. Right, exactly, Brian. Because they knew these groups had signaled days ago that they were going to be on the streets on Saturday, and now I've now learned that on November twenty, th these same far left socialist, communist groups are going to hit the streets of Europe for a.

Protests that go across 12 countries, and they they signal exactly what they've planned. I ended up staying up through the night, putting all the names on Fox News Digital because I don't want people to just think that these are student protests. Don't believe the propaganda and don't believe the sort of euphemisms that a lot of government leaders put forward. There are specific names with signals, flags, and other signs that indicate exactly where the money is flowing. From these organizations onto the streets, and it is organized chaos.

I call it Chaos Inc. because it is a network and a business, and the goal is revolution and rebellion. And real quick, the the elections that are coming up, who do they want to win?

Well, interestingly, these are far-left organizations and parties that are trying to elect the far-left politicians. But they would be very happy with Marine Le Pen coming into office because then they would have another evil doer, right, that they can target, just like they've been doing in the United States of America with Donald Trump.

So they love the demagogue that they can try to dismantle. Because the the bottom line is, just like you were saying, communism has failed as a system. And they don't have solutions, so their only answer is chaos, and that's what we've seen unfold on the streets of Europe now. Great work, God! Check it out on Fox News Digital right now.
