The Brian Kilmeade Show

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.

So glad you're there. It's going to be a busy hour. I hope you're ready for it. Jonathan Turley at the bottom of the hour. Daryl Issa, the congressman from California in New York, wearing a insulated vest because you know those guys on the West Coast can't take this weather.

Kaylee McAnney, it's impossible to throw her off. We already know that. Of course, Saturdays in America anchor. I was lucky enough to be on your show on on Saturday. It's fantastic.

It's doing extremely well. One exclusive after another, and Kaylee. I know you're a little sick of me after three hours. Who would never Lawrence Jones really complains on Monday when he has to follow me upstairs and do the radio. How do you feel after filling in for Ainsley today?

Is it too much, Brian? I feel great, but it is a little too much, Brian, because I learned that you have a problem with me chewing gum or anyone chewing gum, and you threw me off my game today. I think it was a tactic. Yeah, threw me for a loop.

Well, it just we were. Over this so many times to the audience, but it's one of those things. I know it's not. I know this is like a my physical reaction. Because I remember as young as second grade, with my mom chewing gum, helping with my homework.

It actually bring, it gets me so angry. It brings tears to my eyes. I have that same relationship with paper towels. Yeah, you were saying, yeah, yeah. And your brother with with towels, with dry towels.

So I don't know if my parents like wiped our mouths with that, and we hated it. But it is weird how you have these from a young age, right? Yeah.

So a lot of people think it's rude, but I have to.

Well, I whatever.

So so Kaylee, number one. It's interesting week for the president. I think he's getting almost reflective about be this being his last campaign. He's not technically on the ballot, but it's going to affect everything he does for the next two years.

So he's been out there. I actually think, and you would know better, he's enjoying it more than ever. I'm watching him in every hit. He's always laughing, coming up with things. You know, he's got his own.

He's got his own method of doing it. But you could tell sometimes when he's angry on the stump because he's a little ticked off. Crowd, venue, heat, prompter—something throws him off, but he just seems into this. I saw him in South Carolina last night. Yeah, I mean, he he loves it.

This is—he likes being out among the people. He likes talking to the American people. He loves these rallies. And I remember, like, I said to him when he started his second term, and one of our conversations, you know, Mister President, I'd stay in the White House as much as you can because there'd just been the assassination attempt in Butler, the second one. He wants to be out there.

Like this is—it's in his DNA to be out among the. American people. While I think a lot of other presidents would clam up, stay in the Oval. It's certainly safer. He wants to be out there.

He's doing a great job. He's having fun.

So the guy that's really picking up his game. He's kind of a cerebral congressman. He's not a headline grabber. He's kind of a workhorse, and that's Mike Rogers. But he knew he had to amp it up because El Sayed is a big personality with a really troubling past.

I just want people to hear a little of the debate last night in Michigan. Cut one.

So, being bought off by the Muslim Brotherhood, having donors to his campaign from Hamas that support Hezbollah, is not a problem. If you are going to go to the United States Senate, we need to know: Are you for America, or are you for these terrorist groups overseas? Let's talk about this. He keeps raising this question about this association with an organization I've never been a part of. Because my mom, who's a nurse in Missouri, it doesn't make any sense, and it's actually really quite.

Beneath you, Mike, it's really quite beneath you.

So, there's a problem with facts. His answer and the facts. Yeah, not beneath. Mike Rogers to bring this up because Fox News Digital unearthed an op-ed from 2011 where El Sayed was advocating for Obama to endorse the Muslim Brotherhood protesters to take over Egypt.

So there's a lot there that needs to answer. By the way, the Muslim Brotherhood guy became president, El Morsi. Yes, for a while, for a while, for about a year, exactly.

So he has real questions to answer. But I think this comes back to principle. And you know, I spoke with David Beamer over the weekend. His son Todd Beamer, a hero of Flight 93, and what he has. And he is exactly right.

When I hear anyone suggest America deserves 9/11, of course he's referring to Hassan Piker, who Al Sayed campaigned with the day before his primary victory. My question is, who would say that an American would not say that? David Beamer said, "A citizen, I guess, has the free will and right to say that an American would not." He frames this as a battle for the soul of the country. His son, Todd Beamer, made sure that American lives were saved on September 11, 2001, and I do not think he is overstating it. This man chose to campaign with Hassan Piker the day before his primary victory.

And when we look at, for example, Michigan Democratic Party Chair Lon Johnson's urging Democrats just to leave the Senate ballot open in Michigan, he said, "I'm not going to. I'm not going to support Mike Rogers. I'm a Democrat, but I'm not going to vote for this guy." Same thing with David Cramer, leave it blank.

So that's fine. And what Mike Rogers did, and I can't believe a guy that could lose by a few thousand votes to Alyssa Slotnick, who pretended to be a moderate, disappointing, and the. CIA person, so CIA FBI, it was wasn't so easy. Even though the president won Michigan, of Johnson was Rogers was unable to pull it off.

So I thought he'd be up bigger, like Dave McCormick lost to Oz in the primary, but then he won and and beat a harder candidate in the general. But that's not happening yet.

So these guys are leaving out. And I thought when Rogers, they said just focused on the black vote.

So now, if if he's going to win, it's going to be because of this. He set up offices in Detroit, and they said that Haley Stevens says I've never seen a Republican so determined to win the black vote before. Absolutely, and for years, I mean, I worked at the RNC, I was on the Trump campaign. People have been begging Republicans to try to make inroads with the black community. There's an organic fit, absolutely, on the social issues.

This is you know, church-going population organically fits with the Republican party. And the views we hold on gender and the issue of life, but it took President Trump to make that inroad, and President Trump made huge gains among Black voters. And now Mike Rogers is doing the same thing, same playbook. We should be showing up at Black churches the way that Democrats have. Do not just seed this group of voters to the left, because I believe there is an organic fit with the right.

But you have to make the case. You have to be proactive. You have to go out there. I know there's just some fundamental things I can't get my head around. How could Democrats be winning on immigration?

I mean, I've never seen this before. Through all the Trump, Trump twenty twenty, Trump twenty sixteen, kills it on immigration, seals the border, stops the illegal immigration, goes and scoops up the criminals. Is it because ICE is perceived to be too aggressive to the general public? I know not to conservatives, but what do you think, Kayla? You do a great job of stepping back and analyzing.

It's because the memory of the American public is short. Two years ago, we had a wide open border. We saw victims like Lake and Riley and others, victims of the Biden era, the left wing immigration ideology. But for two years, the border's been sealed up. It's been relatively safe.

Yes, there are still lingering illegal immigrants who haven't been prosecuted who are committing crimes, but it's gone away as a headline. And when it goes away as a headline, people forget. They forget how easily we can go back to open borders. They also forget how easily we can go back to nine point one percent inflation. Which is what Biden took us to.

Now it's around about three percent more work to be done. But people forget how bad it was in the Biden era. But they should not.

So it's interesting. This overall poll, the Democrat trend, the New York Times, and it's just amazing. Every headline shows we're trying to depress Republicans, but they couldn't run from these numbers. Only twenty-eight percent of voters have only only twenty-eight percent of voters approve of the Democratic Party. Thirty-six percent are satisfied with the Republican Party.

With the generic poll, has the Dems with eleven point advantage? If I gave you these poll numbers and I said to you, work with your Republican candidate, what do you make of this? Elections aren't a referendum; they are a choice.

So the Democratic Party may be unpopular, but at the end of the day, what voters are looking at are a Democratic candidate vis-a-vis a Republican candidate, and what Democrats have done well is bringing every single Question they are asked, El Sayed does this very well in his interviews to the cost of living, to the economy. That's number one on the mind of voters.

So if Democrats succeed, and you know it's always tough historically in an off year, but if Democrats succeed, it will be because they brought the attention back to the economy, which is what every Republican candidate should be doing. It's what Mike Rogers does. It's what several candidates do, but every Republican, it should be like a script in their mind. The same way I've seen it be a script. El Sayed could be asked, "What color was your birthday cake last year?" He will turn it back to cost of living, and that's what every Republican should be doing.

Yeah, and now Rogers called him out on that last night. He really was on the defensive. You guys should check it out. But who's on your show on Saturday?

So I'm not in this Saturday. I'm going to be traveling in Florida. Yes, but next Saturday we have candidates from all across the country. Michelle Tefoya, we've got it lined up. We're ready for October 31st show.

Yeah, I mean, we're going to be live on November 1st too. It's going to feel like an election day. It's going to be an election weekend next weekend. It's going to be election weekend. We'll have live programming Sunday, so it will be great.

It's going to be an awesome, awesome weekend. She is Kaylee McEnany, and you going to want a tape of your appearance? I think it was that good. This could be a resume build. Resume tape builder.

This is certainly one for the books. My proudest achievement here at Fox News. Thank you, Brian Kilmeade. Show, I love it. And then you are going to be an out number today.

Yes, at noon. See you then. Daryl Ice is going to be next. Kaylee McAnany. Thanks so much.

Congressman Daryl Ice is with us right now on with the 46th congressional district. And Congressman, first off, I've known you for a while. Had a chance to meet the Spanoses when Alex Spanos, the owner, had his book out. I read it; thought it was great. Interviewed him a couple times.

Said, "Hey, do you want to host my birthday party?" And I hosted his birthday party. was fantastic. You know, because he was a self made success story, and you are too big business person. Here we are, the president United States trying to stop what tradition says will be a bad midterm. Where do you think we're at right now?

First off, in California, what is redistricting done? Did it knock you out? Is that the reason why you're not still running? No, my my proposed successor is in fact doing quite well. I was out in California with him.

He's in a statistical tie. He's outgunned financially, but but doing doing very very well. Jim Desmond. He's a Navy veteran, fits the district perfectly. Was mayor and county supervisor in the district, and he's running against a candidate that is a far left candidate who doesn't even live in the district.

So we think we're going to keep that one. But they did try to take us from eight, the remaining eight seats we had in California's Republicans down to four. Looks like they might take us to six, particularly because one of our folks. Doug Lamaha passed away, so there isn't an incumbent in that seat. But we we believe we're going to do better than the number, and it's part of keeping the majority.

We need to expand in Texas, hold more than they thought we were going to hold in California, and so on. Look, the president has made a decision, which is they wanted to nationalize the election. He wants to nationalize the election, and very much like Ronald Reagan, he's campaigning on stay the course. Yes, we. We still have the, if you will, the hangover in inflation, but that hangover is because even though.

Wages are going up, prosperity is going up, the GDP is growing faster than inflation. The reality is, Americans feel the the effects of the Biden years, and that's really no different than the first two years of Ronald Reagan. And it's absolutely the fallout from the Iran War, which I thought is something we have to engage in. The president does not want to leave that for the next guy. You've been in Congress for the longest time.

You served in the military. Iran has been a problem, and Democrats know they've been a perennial, perpetual problem. You will never have sustained peace in the region if Iran is this regime is in power.

Now, how we do it, how we go about it, the tactics up for debate, but the objective, I don't think, can can be contested.

Well, you're absolutely right, Brian. And 47 years ago, I was a young lieutenant when they took our embassy hostage and pretended that it was students. It wasn't the the new government. That kind of lie has gone on for those entire years. And the president finally said, "It's not going to continue on my watch.

He's bringing it to an end." Sure, it's tough. They're embedded after nearly half a century. But he's made the he's made the decision. He's made the shift. And what's reprehensible is this is the first.

Time in a war against an evil that both sides totally agree is evil. Nobody's, nobody, no Democrat, even the crazies here in New York, are actually defending Iran as somehow a place of peace and harmony. And yet they won't get behind the president when he says, "Let's do it and get it over with. Let's do it with our allies, and and we're getting it done." And there, and we, and there's only one party doing it. It's a big story right now.

When Pete Hegseth was just over meeting with. The Israelis about when November third is done, maybe finishing them off. I notice the Strait of Hormuz is now has oil going through above pre-war levels. Not advertising it for a tactical reason, but we're not getting fertilizer through, and there's still some damage to the Gulf states, hurting diesel sales and natural gas. I get it, but where do you stand on this?

Even if you do know, what do you think the next step should be? There.

Well, you're right. After October 27th, with the elections in Israel, and then November 3rd, absolutely, we've got to do the right thing, as the president's been doing. But we've got to step up the game and get it done quickly. I think Israel's committed to that. I know we're committed to that, and the president has made it clear that he's going to stay until he has a lasting peace, and a lasting peace is one that changes Iran's behavior.

And he was, he's. Always said he was willing to work with a change in the government or a change of the government. And if they they clearly made it obvious, they're not changing before November third.

So I'll be more surprised if it isn't a change of government. You believe in government and this sense of anti-Semitism, anti-Israel. It's on the right, not barely on the right, but it's there. It's all over the left. I don't think you can get elected unless you're Josh Gottheimer and certain and Moskowitz over in Florida.

If you're pro-Israel, it's unbelievable what has happened, and that ring of fire, famously Iran set up around Israel. If as long as Iran stays intact, that ring of fire is going to be reassembled, and I don't know if there's going to be a leader after Trump that's going to understand the need to keep that alliance going. Do you?

Well, I certainly hope there will be. I hope that the Trump legacy goes on for at least two more terms, and it needs. I don't know if JD Vance has it. I I don't see him saying anything really pro-Israel.

Well, look. Stepping up to the plate is something that that has to happen after the midterms by whoever wants to succeed President Trump. And President Trump, who moved the embassy to Jerusalem when everyone said it would lead to violence, took out Soleimani. Right, took out Soleimani, and has shown that you don't you can make bold moves and and be and be supportive, and it doesn't have terrible repercussions. In this case, this kind of strange two part anti semitism.

That's going on the real straightforward anti-Semitism you see, and you see it regularly in the Democrat Party, and then you see this faux anti-Semitism.

Well, we really don't hate Jews; we we simply disagree with Israel. You know, the reality is Israel is. Fighting an existential fight, we're fighting a fight of convenience. By definition, Iran is not going to take us out. But every day, those ballistic missiles and drones represent a true threat to the existence of Israel.

Right, and to Sunni states. Did I make it clear? To arbitrarily bomb all the Gulf states, they're trying to say they're showing their ugliness. It's almost as if you got someone to lose their temper and say how they really feel. You're exactly right.

And with the Abraham Accords, what President Trump has done is two parts. First of all, he made the Arab states come out and be more supportive of peace in the region. Formally, he also was part of what made it possible in Saudi Arabia for MBS to actually change his country from a country. Where women didn't drive and weren't allowed to work, to one in which today 37 percent of the workforce are women. Women are openly driving.

There is real tourism in in Saudi Arabia.

So we see hope in some of the most historically strident Sunni nations, just not in Iran. And that's that's what President Trump wants to change. Is he wants to change Iran's behavior, but he also wants to change the ability of those moderate now. Moderates states to live in peace with their neighbors. Last minute, we're getting away from the primes.

We're letting these other groups start to build, mass produce our weapons. Are you comfortable with that? Because I could not be more disappointed in our mass production of weapons and defensive and offensive weapons. I couldn't be more supportive that the entrepreneurial nature of finding new drone producers, energetic startup interceptors and interceptors, and giving them an opportunity to show us that. We can do in America everything they're doing in Ukraine.

The only difference is we're not in a war that is literally without any support. What they're doing in Ukraine is now what we're asking companies to do in America, and they're stepping up to the plate. And a lot of it was our ingenuity too.

Some of those are our companies that were absolutely. It's always great to have you in Congress. It's a sad day when you leave because you are such an effective legislator.

Well, have me back as a civilian. You got it. Always. Back in a moment, Jonathan Turley. 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. It started with the Somali blog that I don't know if it still exists, but somebody put in there that you know that he had to have been my brother or something to that effect. And right-wing conspiracy theorists in Minneapolis got a hold of it, and they just kind of went.

You are not related to him at all. Not that there's actually a kernel of truth that's true somewhere in the world. Not to my knowledge. He said, "Not to my knowledge," and that that struck Jonathan Turley, who you can't get anything by him. Fox News contributor, obviously, he's he's a Fox News contributor is really the top of his resume, but he's also got this fantastic book out that keeps on popping up because it is really in the news, best selling, of course.

It says "Rage of the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution." Jonathan Turley, welcome back. Thank you so much. And we saw you this morning. I saw you with with Lawrence, of course, because Lawrence going to law school—it's the perfect match.

So I never get a chance to interview.

So this is this is great for me. One of the best.

So I think it's so interesting the way Elon Omar was under the wire. You know, she's like all the squad—they're always in publicity in front of the camera, making themselves out to be victims. Got it? Anti-Israel, understood. Anti-Trump, every day.

Good socialist, true. But now, since that raid on her house, that simultaneously went to. Other family members. This is the first time we really heard from her. Why is that?

Well, that's a very good question, Brian. I mean, this is sort of consistent with the pattern of the last few years. You know, what is often ignored is that aspects of the current investigation began during the Biden administration. But these have been sort of recurring allegations for years with Representative Omar, and the one thing that she hasn't been is transparent. She keeps on denouncing the allegations as racist or politically motivated.

But what she doesn't do is really take. You know the offensive, and try to you know lay out the facts, including possibly giving a DNA sample, which a lot of people suggested for years that she could do that to put to rest this this allegation.

So instead, this interview is much of the same. You know, just saying that it's it's it's untrue, it's racist, it's political. There's more to this investigation that has to be answered. In what way? You know.

Well, for example, you know, just when you look at the drop of income, for example, in the last few days, we've learned that there are allegations that her husband's winery was engaged in rampant fraud.

Now, we don't know if that's true. We don't know the the clarity of that. But there is an allegation by various news organizations out there that there was no wine, essentially being claimed by this winery. That's a pretty serious form of fraud, and it's one that can be easily knocked down if it's not true by Omar and her husband. The issue about the marriage and her immigration status—there are facts there that she can also knock down.

We just saw that the search warrant may have referred to a different name for Representative Omar. That seems like a rather obvious thing that you can address. You know, the the danger for Omar, as I've said before, is that because she is a political candidate and a member of Congress, she has to file papers regularly.

So while many of us have noted that the the statute of limitations has run on some of the allegations. That really doesn't tell the whole story because every time you file something, you can create a new violation. Also, people have to keep in mind there are two tracks for denaturalization: one's criminal and one civil. The civil side doesn't have a statute limitation, and the United States government has always maintained that even innocent errors in immigration papers that led to your citizenship. Can result in your denaturalization because if those errors meant that you would not have been made a citizen, you know the government's position is we don't just shrug and walk away.

You know that, you know that you you still have to meet that criteria at the time you became a citizen.

So, can I bring you back to specifics with that? I think what people at home should realize this goes back to the father, who, according to her book, Yulon Omar's book, he was an educator, but in real life, he was a colonel. And that the Yemeni government, excuse me, the Somali government at that time had a thuggish government, really Russian-sponsored, that was known for their their their their thuggish way in which they instituted martial law.

So, if you were honest about your background. And he was saying, "Yeah, I was affiliated with the government, and I was an officer in the army." He might not have gotten refugee status, right?

Well, Brian, that's a really good point. I mean, it's not exactly the resume for a new citizen. I was a colonel in a repressive regime in Somalia. That line is pretty short in terms of people who want to claim that when they when they come to the United States.

So, if he lied, so if he lied, what does that mean? He's dead now. He died at sixty-seven from COVID, and now his kids are all here. What does it mean?

Well, that's the question because you'll notice Representative Omar is increasingly hitting this this narrative that her dad filled out the papers that she was just twelve. Which, by the way, she did not become a citizen when she was just twelve. It was when she was what people believe she was eighteen, but it said that she was seventeen, and that was a key difference because if she was seventeen, she could piggyback on her father's naturalization papers. But there's this effort now of saying, "Look, the dad did all of this, filled out all of these papers, and you know she went on the interview yesterday and said, 'You can't tell me as when I was 12, I was this mastermind.' Well, that's not the allegation, right? The allegation is that when she was 18, her father said she was 17 in order to get her through.

The allegation is that her father's papers may also have been. Fraudulent, and if she piggybacked on those papers, the question then is: you know, is is is should he have been made a citizen, and therefore should she have been made a citizen?

So you have all these problems. What's the answer, John? What do you think? Where does that go? If that is in fact the the way it comes out, does she does she lose her citizenship from what her dad did in the nineties?

I guess. You know, we have to be honest about this. We don't we don't know all these facts, but the facts turn out against her. Then yes, she could be denaturalized. The Trump administration has substantially increased denaturalization before the Omar case.

So the the administration has made it very clear that this is a priority. That a lot of people, as part of their anti fraud campaign, that a lot of people use fraud to become citizens. And they have sort of a zero tolerance policy. If they find it, then you go.

Now, for Representative Omar, that would be an extraordinary moment because if she was ever denaturalized, which takes a long time, by the way, but if she was denaturalized, she could not be a member of Congress. And yes, she could be deported, but this is a very slow process. What I don't understand is why she doesn't get ahead of this. You know, years ago, I wrote a column saying, you know, usually when people have stuff that they say is comp. Completely, absolutely untrue.

They sue someone for defamation. You know, they get out there and put facts out in the public, and as a warning to others. She hasn't done any of those things. The usual profile that you you expect just hasn't materialized. Instead, she's gone into radio silence, or she comes out and just denies the allegations.

And but the the press that she picks to interview her. Never follow up. You know they never give that follow up question. Like, okay, well, how about this name that has come out that supposedly was on the warrant? Is that you?

And is that your real name? You know, because you also are not allowed to put a false name on a passport. Those would seem to be reasonable, easy questions for her to get and easy questions for her to answer.

So I want you to hear how seriously she's taking it in her interview. I want you to hear this, Katrina. Oh, I I take it very seriously, and I'm sure my lawyers are taking it very seriously. And you know, it would be a huge undertaking to, I suppose, indict you know a 12 year old for being so cleverly. You know, conspiring to to you know to defraud immigration services to come to the United States.

It's such a I don't know. I'm sure there are a lot of smart twelve year olds, but that seems like a leap.

Well, and I understand from from the Homeland Security Secretary, since confirmed from the Homeland Security Secretary's department that. There were multiple raids happening at the same time. They went into her house, and they did take DNA. And she says she isn't. She never gave it.

So I'm wondering why would someone need DNA? There's no murder, you know. There's no weapon. I never heard of DNA being needed. Yeah, there's a couple aspects of that, Ryan.

I mean, one is, you know, she can shrug this off and laugh about it. But I can tell you, if I was her counsel, I would not find this a humorous moment because. This is part, as you've noted, a number of different subpoenas and investigations that have gone out. That would worry the heck out of me. You know, her sister has volunteered to speak to the FBI.

When she does that, she'll be subject to eighteen USC thousand one, which is a law that makes it a crime to lie to a federal official or investigator.

So that that sister better make sure that everything she says. Is verifiable. Is everything she says is absolutely accurate? Or she could be charged. And this is a very standard approach among investigators and prosecutors.

They'll they'll charge someone associated with a target as a way of of gaining leverage and also to get information. And it also gets other people to then you know cooperate.

So this can have this cascading effect. That I think that she has to be worried about, and it falls under that category of the lady doth protest too much. I mean, she has to stop protesting the allegations and answering them. There's a whole list of things here that she can knock down pretty quickly. Like, is that really your name?

Why did they have that name? What is your name? Can you say that that's completely untrue? What is your name? It may be untrue.

Yeah, it's so funny. That's where down to what is real about you. Please tell me. The other thing is on the on the DNA situation. The sister is on a book tour.

Evidently, she spends a lot of her time in Kenya, and she pulled herself off the book tour. And whatever she texted, that got the investigators to go to a judge to get the warrant.

So I know we have to just speculate to a degree, and you don't like to do that as a law person. But you've seen so many different cases. What could that text message have said to take a DC judge to tell the investigators to go for it? Yeah, you know, as a criminal defense attorney, I can tell you that that's what worries you the most are things like text messages between family members and friends; those unguarded moments. And particularly if it was done on international wires, you know those are subject to a lot of surveillance, so they're easily picked up.

And so the question is whether she actually said something that referenced the marriage or her immigration status. If they have that in the bag, then that's going to be the subject of this interview. And she now, and I am sure, attorney has said. Don't be too clever here. I mean, you know, you you can be charged if you try to say, "Oh well, I didn't mean that," and they find out that there's a there there.

And so, you know, this is she's just one of a number of family members that they are proceeding for. And once again, you know, I've said all along, and everyone has responsible said we don't know the truth of these allegations. She says it's untrue. It's just that she's done so little to put them to rest, and there's so much she can do that she hasn't done. It's so interesting.

It's not going away. They want to make it political. And was President Obama was really the only one vociferously defending our saying? It's really bad sign when you weaponize the government. Jonathan, I don't know if you could remember when Barack Obama was president.

Did he ever weaponize the government?

Well, it's always funny to hear stuff like that because, of course, Republicans remember very well being targeted, not just by Obama, but of course the. Biden administration, and you had a great deal of lawfare that that came down, and so the question now is really the merits of this thing. You know, the difference between lawfare and something that's not. Is the substance of the allegation one of the objections I had to the Trump trial in New York? Is I considered it to be absolutely absurd as charges, and the same thing with the James civil action, which was ultimately gutted on the Court of Appeals.

That's the affirmation of lawfare.

So if Omar wants to claim lawfare, the best way to do it is to put it out there. When Trump was charged. And when he was sued civilly, his people put out all this information out there. They just said, "Look at all of these documents." That's what we haven't gotten from Representative Omar.

So, if you are going to argue lawfare, then give us the law and give us the evidence so that we can judge that. I hear you, Jonathan Turley. Thanks so much. Appreciate it. My pleasure.

All right, have a great day, great Thursday. You're listening to the Brian Kilmeade Show. Back in a moment. From breaking news to big name guests, Brian brings you insight you won't hear anywhere else. You're listening to the Brian Kilmeade Show.

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. Make the green grass grow all around, all around. Make the green grass grow all around. Make momentum happen. Learn more at jpmorganchase.com/impact.

Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kilmeade Show. It's the word reflecting policy. A softening of policy is the perception. Here is Brian Kilmeade on Fox News when he heard of Wicoff praising Putin.

What an embarrassing statement that is! I mean, the Russians must be laughing their heads off. Go! Are you kidding? I cannot believe this is happening.

That just makes you look naive. A humanitarian? This guy kills his opponents. He arrests. He arrests journalists.

Tries to poison people wherever they are around the world. He's bombing innocent people on a daily basis, where the Ukrainians can honestly say they don't aim for a single civilian. Ladies and gentlemen, anyone listening, if you see Vladimir Putin, do not call me humanitarian. No one will take you seriously. No one.

I am in full agreement with this table. Yeah, and with "kill me," that was not a word that should have been used.

So I didn't. I guess they use that in all the channels. I thought it would. Steve Wirkoff working hard, volunteering for the country on his own dime, flying around. But I think you have to know the history.

I know the strategy. For example, if I go to Murderer's Row, you know the death row in prison, and I treat one of these murderers with respect, it doesn't mean I think it's okay to murder. If my goal is to unwind the gang he came from and arrest other murderers, I will show him respect. I will try to win them over as friends.

So I understand that tactic, but that's not what this is. This is a public statement. Done on camera with a microphone right in front of you that says, "You call my president a great humanitarian. You are a great humanitarian." When the very guy, the 74-year-old, is in prison because he was scooped up and tortured, he's a teacher in an area that you invaded in Ukraine and arrested everybody and just basically abducted them. When you realize he was an American, you jailed him and tortured him.

I'm glad he's out. And behind closed doors, you might say, "Hey, Vladimir Putin, I don't know how he got here, but if you could just give him to us, it would show you a great humanitarian. That would show you a humanitarian side." But saying you're a great humanitarian when you see what he's done and what I think he's still doing to our guys and our bases by aiding Iran, I got a huge problem with that. But it doesn't mean that I think when President Trump shows him respect, you have to know in the big picture the objective. You know, is President Xi, um, basically torturing Uyghurs?

Yes. Does the president of the United States have to coexist with China? Yes. By going up every single time and saying what you do with the Uyghurs is terrible is not in our national interest. That's not a good tactic.

But diplomatically, if you told Marco Rubio that, and you say get a hostage out, and you put a microphone in front of your Secretary of State, he would have called Vladimir Putin anything but a humanitarian. Just saying it. And I also think, as great as as hard as they're working, Jared Kushner is doing a great, very intelligent guy. You can't do all three. He can't do Hamas, he can't do Ukraine, and he can't do Iran.

I think that Kissinger couldn't do it in his prime. I don't know how one people, one one one group does one thing. You hear me talk about this all the time. Obamacare was supposed to make healthcare more affordable. How's that working out?

People are still getting crushed by the cost of healthcare insurance. Maybe you are. Insurance companies are making greater profits, and while everything gets more expensive for you and your family, at some point you have to ask: Is there another way?

Well, there is. More than 1.7 million Americans have already chosen an alternative to traditional health insurance called health care sharing. The company I like is called We Share Health because they're a nonprofit and they're faith based. It's a Christian organization. Their members pay up to 60 less than they would for traditional insurance and still get access to a nationwide PPO network and over a million physicians, plus unlimited telehealth.

With open enrollment around the corner, don't just renew. Blindly, do your own research. You have options. See what else is out there. Call one eight eight eight We Share to find out more and get a free quote in just minutes.

That's one eight eight eight We Share, or go to we share health dot org and take a look for yourself. From the Fox News Radio studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmeade. From 45 and six in Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, around the world. This is the Brian Kilmeade Show.

Exciting times. I mean, we've got to November third to the midterm elections. Larry Trump's got a great show on Saturday night. She's going to host My View on Saturday at nine. She's going to be with us in studio.

Josh Crasharrow, Fox News political radio analyst and editor in chief of the Jewish Insider. At the bottom of the hour, that'll be great. And of course, I always got to encourage you to go to the YouTube channel, YouTube.com/slash/atthebriankilmeadeShow. Everybody's talking about. This channel we can't get enough of, and just a quick thank you.

The book opened up, uniting the states. The six crucial moments that forged the American miracle. I think it's a one of these books that I just tried to make history accessible, so you understand how great this country is, and how resilient and resourceful we are. And I think people are buying it this weekend. I'm going to be in Palm Beach on Saturday.

Wrap this book at noon, and then I'm going to be at Vero Beach. Often this is probably my favorite book stop, and where I got a chance to meet everyone of Vero Beach. And it's a two floor, two tier book bookshop.

So I hope to see everybody. In person there, BrianKillme. dot com. Then I'm going to be in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Then hopefully you'll catch up to us for our live shows where we go to the stage in Clearwater, yes, the Tampa area, and then I'll be in Jacksonville.

So November seventh and November eighth. BrianKillme. dot com. Don't go to the side StubHub or anything else. Just go to my website and order the tickets because they're putting in all types of fees, making it way too expensive.

So let's get to the big three. Number three. For years, Representative Omar has spent more time talking about the motivations behind allegations than the allegations themselves. There's a lack of transparency here on all of these issues. What she is not mentioning is that aspects of this investigation began during the Biden administration and then were shut down.

Yep, no doubt about it. Jonathan Turley, Ilan Omar says, "Quote: I'm the I'm I'm broke and a victim of Donald Trump." No, you're a fraudster, American-hating immigrant who might just find herself deported as she speaks out for the first time since the raid on her home. We'll discuss number two. I agree with Steve Whitkoff saying something nice to a person who just released an American hostage. Whether you agree with the underlying sentiment or not, Steve Whitkoff is a diplomat.

All right, Vice President Vance covering up, and inside perhaps Vladimir Putin agrees to a bilateral Ukraine talks with the war raging on, and the world questions whether the U.S. has switched sides. They shouldn't. They're all getting together, maybe in three weeks to begin trilateral talks. Number one, Trump is the best politician of our generation.

And when he gets serious, and he's out on the stump, he moves things. He arouses people. He gets them engaged. He coins terms. Midterms, final pitch.

Of course, that was Newt Gingrich. Latest debate, latest debates dominate. We go over the polls and the friction, and of course, the stakes. As Donald Trump is on the stump every single day, and next week his schedule is coming out right through election dates in November third, and he's really enjoying himself. And after all, he's not on the ballot, but he's on the ballot.

These next two years are going to be about investigations, or they're going to be about implementation and making permanent some executive orders, and still doing. We know what he's wants to do with these trade deals. He's got twenty. He's looking to land the Canadian deal. I understand he talked to the Prime Minister of Canada yesterday.

I was talking to some people in the Trade Department over the White House. They said there's not much movement. They're eventually going to land the Canadian deal. That'll be a boost to the economy. The Mexican deal should soon find over.

I'm not sure if he wants to do the USMCA again. We'll see. But as I was telling you about the midterms, you got to November 3rd.

So how did it go last night? With both both sides are focused. Focusing on Michigan, I guess it's the second most expensive race in the country, second only to what's happening in Texas. They have spent 500 million dollars in Texas.

So Mike Rogers went after El Sayed's background. Cut one.

So being bought off by the Muslim Brotherhood. Having donors to his campaign from Hamas that support Hezbollah is not a problem. If you are going to go to the United States Senate, we need to know: Are you for America or are you for these terrorist groups overseas? Let's talk about this. He keeps raising this question about this association with an organization I've never been a part of because my mom, who's a nurse in Missouri, it doesn't make any sense, and it's actually really quite beneath you, Mike.

It's really quite beneath you.

Now let me interject. The fact is, his mother explaining to his sister what she did in the '70s and how proud she was of her work for Muslim Brotherhood. The sister tweeted out publicly, "I just heard the best. I'm just paraphrasing. Best stories about my mom worked for the Muslim Brotherhood.

So proud.

So, what are the implications? The sisters into the Muslim Brotherhood. Her his birth mother is with the Muslim Brotherhood, and then we find out a 2010 article he wrote in the Huffington Post, a pullout from that, says that he's calling on al-Morsi to be the president of Egypt." And for the U.S. to recognize him, he happens to be a proud member at the time. You probably don't remember this after the Eric Spring, a proud member of the Muslim Brotherhood, and they called on the he's calling on Egypt to disband their police force.

Now Morsi's in jail right now because he started destroying the country, and now you have Al Sisi. I can't bring you into Egyptian politics, but man, he wanted to be, didn't he? He could not come up with a dissemination between who's a closer ally or enemy, Iran or Israel. He couldn't make a dissemination. Here's Abdul El Sayed doing some damage control.

Cut three. Nobody appreciates the promise of America like somebody who understands exactly what America gave me. I got to go to great public schools, amazing public university. I love this country. I love the Constitution and what it protects for all of us.

But right now, it has gotten way too hard. Our politics have been bought off by big corporations, billionaires, special interests, buying and selling politicians in the same way that they bought and sold the person to my left his entire career. All right, first time I ever hear him talk positively about the country. I can't believe he hasn't been coached to do that. All I hear about is how bad it is.

And then when people bring up his background, he says, "Why make things affordable?" But his ideas of making things affordable are a joke. Because he has changed his position, and anyone who says Medicare for all is an absolute idiot, because it's not affordable. It's it's almost four trillion dollars, and our whole budget we we bring in five point four trillion. Really, ninety percent of our budget goes to Medicare for all, that barely pays doctors and puts seniors last. If you want to see how this guy has changed his stances.

They did a great montage, or we did a great montage here at Fox. To show you the differences, so I hope it transfers to radio. But you have him in 2018, and then his changing position in 2025, 2026, different from 2020, and then you have 2026, different from the others.

So here's El Saeed, then and now, cut six. And we, as a as a as a country, I believe, owe it to the world to open our doors, and and we're better because of it.

So let's be clear: we've got to keep the border secure, all of our borders. That's me. Sure. What Medicare for All does is, it does away with the private insurance market, right? It now has one single payer, and that is the government of the United States.

If you would like to have a private insurer above that, you're welcome to do that. I believe that we do need to defund the police, insofar as defunding the police is disinvesting in the means of incarcerating someone or killing them on the streets. I believe that we need to fund the police when it comes to retirement, retention, recruitment. What do you believe? I will say this: I know exactly what.

Would with what they're going to do, what Mike Rogers going to do? I know because he was, I think, twelve years in Congress, and then he had a podcast. You can go listen.

So Mike Rogers has not taken down one of his podcasts. He hasn't taken on one of his social media posts over the last twenty five years. He's been very public figure. This guy's taken down three hundred videos on YouTube and countless social media posts that we don't even know of to look for, and that is why. Lion Johnson, former chairman of the Michigan Democratic Party, said this to Martha yesterday.

Cut seven. This isn't an effort to to ask Democrats to vote for Mike Rogers. You know, however, there are thousands of Democrats across Michigan who don't want to vote for Abdul, but are also also you know equally disturbed by Mike Rogers and his extremism. This is an effort to show Democrats that there's you know there's dignity in leaving the ballot blank if you don't wish to to vote for Abdul. There are significant questions within the African American community and within.

Jewish community about Abdul, and you know what we're what we're attempting to do here is if you intend to vote for Mike Rogers, there's a third way here, and that to make it clear, to make to make it blank, to leave it blank.

So this pretty big, and there's another operative too said the same exact thing. They just find this guy disturbing. He's done nothing to bring the party together, and they say I'm not going to vote for him, but it doesn't mean I'm not going to vote. Just leave it blank.

So that's interesting because they don't want to. They don't want to be a Republican. They can't do that, but they can't vote for this guy.

So it shows they have standards. Barack Obama has no standards. Chuck Schumer has no standards. Poured money and time into there. If Chuck Schumer was popular, he'd be campaigning with him, but he's not, so he isn't.

AOC is popular. Doesn't care. Wants anybody elected that can be. And she went and appeared with him for two or three days. Do you really want to be associated with a Congresswoman from?

Queens, and I don't have anything against her. Just her, the things she'd vote for, the policies that she believes in, have nothing to do with Michigan. She would not get elected. She might get elected in certain districts in Michigan, but this guy's trying to go statewide and bring a be a candidate for everyone. You don't bring up a polarizing person like Hassan Piker to campaign with in your last days.

You don't bring up AOC. You don't bring up Bernie Sanders. You don't bring up Elizabeth Warren. If you want to get independence and win over some Republicans who are mad at President Trump for gas prices or some trade deals, that's not the way you seem to do it.

So that's some of the races that they're going back and forth. But the other big races I mentioned has five hundred billion dollars in it is Talarico against Paxson.

So Paxson and Talarico and are flat-footed tied in the latest poll. I think it's a Reuters poll. First time I've seen them tied.

So here is, if you want to know what bothers me most about Talarico, is not that he's liberal or deal or or or that he might be a socialist. I don't even care about his positions. Just don't be duplicitous. And he is. He said some of the most extreme things possible as a state lawmaker.

And now what he's trying to just does have us forget about all that. And he's changed his mind. Case in point, cut nineteen. There are many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six.

I've missed mark on some of my past statements. I will be the first to admit it. What I meant is that there are two sexes, and then there's a small percentage of people with genetic abnormalities. I will say what I think. Not enough Democrats have been willing to say.

Really, Joe Biden failed us. On our southern border, and I'm worried about what this senseless border wall would do to our tourism here in the region. What it would do to our local economies. There are some folks, and that would think that if you deny your child's gender identity, that that's incredibly harmful. And and whether or not we can we label it with the term abuse, I mean, it's abusive.

I believe that parental rights are sacred. And we should trust parents to raise their kids, but if there's something that's going to endanger a child or a minor, certainly something that could could cause permanent damage, then I'm always going to try to err on the side of protecting those kids.

So does that mean if I if if a kid says I'm going to commit suicide, I'm thinking in the wrong body. Nobody wants that, and your parents will do anything. But we're just trying to say protect the parents from themselves and the kids from making a decision they'll hate the rest of his life and or her. And you say nothing until eighteen. What is so hard about that?

Can't drink, you can't drive to a certain age. I know you can get a. Different type of licenses, but there's age brackets on it.

Now we're going to have ages on social media. Can you at least agree as a country to make it 18 to make some Titanic change to your body? At least get close to adulthood.

So he now he realizes that's the ridiculous statement to go against that. And now he goes, "Oh wait, I'm in Texas and I got to win over the whole state. That's why it's 49-49." And evidently in these, I can't tell you all these districts like Bill Hemmer can, and what's a Republican. And what's purple and and what's blue? But evidently the turnout is huge in these red areas of Texas because they realize they could very well lose it.

I'll take a short timeout and come back with your phone calls for the first time. I got a ton of emails already, so you go to briankilmeade dot com, click on comments. We could do that. We're one eight six six four zero eight seven six six nine. This is the Brian Kilmeade Show.

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.

The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmeade. I did not endorse actually Joe Biden. By the time Joe Biden ran, I went on the campaign trip with John Kerry. I was with Al Gore in 1999 at the in Miami, and I was I raised the Democrat, a lifelong Democrat.

My policies tend to to be sympathetic to to that particular party. Unfortunately, what happened to me was that I found myself kind of feeling like a prop, and also. What I saw was the degree to which politics really was so the disconnection between what people the mask that they put on in front and that who people really were, and that fundamentally it was about just like raising money, and that ultimately the real power was is in the money. Ben Affleck, I didn't recognize his voice either, but he's just being interviewed, and I thought to myself when I heard the question, he's going to flip out, and that's why I thought this was going. But he didn't; he embraced it because I remember him out in the stump with Al Gore, so he was at the zenith of his career.

He's still hot, I guess he's still still probably one of the most bankable stars, and he produces and writes, which is pretty incredible. But I thought he was a left wing zealot. It doesn't sound like he is. It sounds like he's a Democrat, no doubt about it. But he's not a Bruce Springsteen.

I hate all Republicans. Isn't Donald Trump terrible? Which I find somewhat refreshing, but he felt like he was being used, and I think in a way they are. I want you to hear sooner or later. People are going to say that what we all know that it's not a racist cell in Donald Trump's body.

What he says sometimes he doesn't care about being politically correct because he knows he's not racist. But how many more Black Americans have to appear with Donald Trump and and call him a friend? Whether it's Lawrence Taylor, whether it's Mike Tyson, and then last night, I think an athlete. Even though he's only slightly older than me, I think three or four years older than me, the most inspiring athlete that I remember. Any other sport, Evander Holyfield.

He was undersized for a heavyweight. He won cruiser, he won light heavyweight, one cruiserweight, and then he goes up from one ninety to two twenty five. He has some of the most epic fights ever. If you have any at all interest, if you're younger, have any at all interest, if you think boxing's entertaining or interesting, just Google Evander Holyfield, go on YouTube, and you're going to flip out at how fantastic. The fighter he was and how much punishment he could inflict and take, especially with Mike Tyson.

The reason why Tyson bit his ear because he already lost to him in thirteen rounds, and the rematch was so frustrating for him because he couldn't hurt him and he wasn't afraid of him. That's why he bit his ear.

So guess who turned up in Atlanta and South Carolina? In South Carolina, Evander Holyfield cut fifteen. I want to ask a friend of mine to come up and say a couple of words because I've I made a lot of money on Evander because he just beat everybody. He was just great, and he's a fantastic person too. Never been an athlete in the shape.

He was always in shape. He was always ready to go. Evander, come on up and say hello. First of all, I'm I'm I'm thankful to be here, and I'd like to thank Donald Trump. I had a great relationship with him in Boston, and every time my phone.

I fought to win, and he gave me the opportunity, and I'm so happy I'm to be our president.

So thank you very much. That guy was a champ. He would win and win and win. He won all the time. He was just a fantastic fighter and a great champion and a great guy.

And by the way, did you see him? Did you guys see the video? He looks like he's thirty. I did say, yeah. Evidently, boxing is a way of keeping you young.

I never saw that, but you know, I remember he was on the CNBC show. Do you know that CNBC show where A. Rod tries to help guys get into good business deals? Former athletes. Do you ever see it?

It's really good, really good. And they tried to coach Evander, and they tried to teach him to. You got to say no to certain products. You can't say yes to this. They gave him some products to pitch.

And they said, "Whatever you do, to Evander, don't say yes. We're going to work with you on the pitch that works best for your personality." The first guy gives his pitch. Evander goes, "I'll do it," because he's like, "Yeah, you seem like a nice guy. I'm in." And then A. Rod goes, "What are you doing, Evander?

You can't be doing this. You got to listen to me. We got to think about the money. We got to think about the time commitment." So funny.

Sounds a lot like you, though, Brian. No, is not in the vocabulary. Yes, I'll do three million pitches. Times. I always say how much.

Are you kidding? The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmeade. So, being bought off by the Muslim Brotherhood, having donors to his campaign from Hamas that support Hezbollah, is not a problem. If you are going to go to the United States Senate, we need to know: Are you for America, or are you for these terrorist groups overseas?

Let's talk about this. He keeps raising this question about this association with an organization I've never been a part of. Because my mom, who's a nurse in Missouri, it doesn't make any sense, and it's actually really quite beneath you, Mike. It's really quite beneath you.

It's really not beneath him. I think we need to know. I don't know any candidate ever more disturbing than this guy. I've had people that are incompetent, but and you say, how could you elect this guy or this woman? A Maxine Waters case in point.

But I've never seen. Anybody as scary as this guy, and the arrogance, and the swagger, and the smugness, and the ham-handed way in which he changes topics with Muslim Brotherhood. People care about other groceries. Josh Krasner joins us now, Fox News political analyst and editor in chief of the Jewish Insider.

So, so Josh, it looks like Mike Rogers able to score big time, much more aggressive in this debate. Yeah.

Well, look, I actually thought the debate was a little, you know, less contentious than the first one, which really. Was an important moment in the campaign because it was the first time Mike Rogers really directly to Abdul El Sayed's face leveled the charges of why he's not condemning Hamas Hezbollah, why his family members have affiliations with the Muslim Brotherhood. The media didn't want to talk about. I mean, a lot of the the local papers in in Michigan and elsewhere didn't want to bring that up, and that was the first time a lot of Michigan voters were introduced to the the baggage and the ideological extremism that El Sayed has not. Spoken forthrightly about, so that was a big moment in the first debate, and it was reinforced, I think, at the second debate.

And it's why. But look, this race is is is statistically tied. Every poll showing the same thing. And now I think El Saeed may be up by about one or two points in the average. But this, given the national environment, given that Michigan tends to vote Democrat in Senate elections, the fact that we're basically tied shows you how weak and damaged a candidate Abdul El Saeed is.

And if Mike Rogers wins, and I think he has has at least a fighting chance to, it's going to be because he wins over a number of moderate Democrats, Jewish Democrats. African Americans who are also turned off by the smug and arrogant kind of treatment they've been receiving from from Elsae since he won the nomination.

So, yeah, this is a hell of a race. It may be the race that determines which, which, you know, the balance of power in the Senate comes come next year. I think Rogers wins it. I don't know how you feel. I think he's doing things tactically that makes sense.

He's setting up really his own offices in Detroit, trying to win the black vote if he can scoop any of it because. El Sayed did so bad as Josh. You know better than anybody.

Well, against Haley Stevens when it came to the black vote, he got trounced, and now he goes into sits down in a podcaster, mostly African American audience, and says, "I am not like one of these Middle Easterns that look down and give you a hard time when you come into gas stations, and then give me some fried chicken." I am pretty sure that's insulting. It was a bizarre. I mean, I always believe, Brian. You probably heard this from me before. Actions speak louder than polls.

So the fact that El Tayyad had to record. That very awkward, essentially an apology on camera. That that you know that the black community has not had good relations with the Muslim community, and people who look like him and sound like him have treated them badly. I mean, I thought that was a stunning admission. And and by the way, it's not something he said to the Jewish community.

The Jewish community has asked a bare minimum of just condemning terrorism and speaking out loudly against a terrorist in their community that attacked a preschool at a synagogue. And he couldn't even do that, right? He's been very Half-hearted in those types of apologies and walkbacks, but he did record this. This message geared toward the black community, and and it was a you know total almost put down of himself.

So I mean, it's a bizarre. I mean, there is a lot of weird things going on with El Saeed and his campaign. Clearly, they are not hitting the marks in in a lot of key within with a lot of key Democratic voting groups, and it's. Why the race is so close, and I think you're look. If the environment wasn't as rough as it is for Republicans across the board nationally, Rogers probably runs away with this race.

The fact that the national environment is where it is is what's making this race competitive and what's keeping us ahead in the game. I mean, see the Democrats, and you're going to see this, Josh, and I know it matters to you personally, and it matters to me as an American. I think the alliance with Israel is absolutely vital to our national interest, and it's in our national interest to make sure that. Israel's, where this alliance is is strong. I don't think that's.

I think maybe twenty percent of the Democratic Party agree with that statement, and there's a small portion of the Republican Party. This is going to be the first test because he's really done nothing to win over the Jewish community. How big is it in Michigan? Number one, and number two is how disturbed are they by a statement that he says really he couldn't make a decide decision who's more of an enemy of America, Israel or Iran. Yeah, I mean, where El Sayed is taking on water, it's more than I mean.

Israel is a vulnerability for him. The fact that he can't say that Israel is an ally and Iran is an enemy is just gobsmacking. And I think it does for people who follow this stuff. It kind of raises serious questions about his his judgment and his affiliations and his foreign policy views. It goes even deeper than that, though, when it comes to the politics of this race, Brian.

Because you know, he famously, after the terrorist attack in Detroit in in Michigan, with at a preschool at a synagogue, he said, "Hurt people, hurt people." And he's, you know, he did have to apologize to privately to a Jewish group, but he's been very halfhearted and and not shown a lot of authenticity in his responses to why he would say that in the first place. And there have been a lot of ads. If you watch Michigan TV with moms who have kids at that preschool who are Democrats and are voting for for Mike Rogers, they can't vote for El Sait because he's too extreme. And they're talking face to the camera and talking about how their their their kids almost died and that terrorist attack and how they can't imagine someone voting someone for someone who's as heartless and has no empathy and no no no no any any consideration for their own family security. And those are if you look at the polling then.

This is across the board. I'll say it is underperforming among women, the suburban women that he needs, that are also usually vote Democrat in large numbers. And I think that trans, yes, foreign policy is a big part of it. Understanding Israel as an ally and Iran as an enemy, that's a part of it. But it's also the fact that women look at this guy and look at his arrogance and look at the fact that he can't just show any empathy towards Jewish voters and the people who almost suffered that horribly in a terrorist attack in their backyard.

There's something off there, and I think a lot of voters beyond just the Jewish community see that. I hope I really hope he loses more than anything else. But take a look at Kansas. Adam Hamilton saying I'm a moderate, going against Roger Marshall's. That looks very close.

Hamilton on News Nation saying this about Biden's border. Republicans, by the way, Democrats never said a word about it. I know he was a reverend at the time. Not, no Democrat said anything. Mayorkas getting a raw deal.

They stuck up for him when they tried to impeach. Worst border that I can remember in my lifetime. Cut thirteen. The Biden policies, when it came to the border, were a disaster. I believe in strong and secure borders.

I think that's very important. And Biden was it was a terrible disaster. I'm not somebody who favors the socialist party. I'm somebody who stands in the middle. I mean to try to work for all Kansans, Republicans, Independents, and Democrats.

So he sounds there moderate to to right, and people doubt that. But maybe that's the line you use. Yeah, look, I mean. This guy Hamilton is no El Sayed. He's he's trying to win over.

He needs to win over Republicans, a good number of them, to to win in a state as Republican as Kansas. This is a state, after all, that hasn't voted for a Democratic senator since 1932, since before the New Deal.

So, I mean, this would be a big streak. And you have to be someone who can appeal to Republican voters in Kansas. March the senator Roger Marshall, you know, has run a very Lackluster campaign, so that's that's another factor in what's making this race very competitive. Ultimately, I mean, why Trump and why Vice President Vance have been in Kansas is that it's close, and the thinking among Republicans is that you know all you need to do is get get Trump voters, get Republicans to show up, and that should be enough to move the needle in some of these redder states. But look, I mean, the fact that he's able to kind of portray himself as a moderate, as a candidate in the face.

I think that you're right. The record shows he's actually quite quite a bit more liberal than your typical red state Democrat. Like even even in the redder states, folks like Talerico, folks. You know that you would expect to be almost conservative Democrats are actually center left Democrats. They're they're more liberal than you would expect.

Do you think Hamilton has a good shot? You think Hamilton? I think it's a I I think it's a coin flip in Kansas right now. But um, yeah. But that's what that's how bad the environment is.

It's it's all about the the economy and Trump's job approval.

So here, as Senator Susan Collins has some company, Joe Manchin. Joe Manchin going to bat for her, saying that she needs to win. Listen to what he said to me. Listen to what he. This isn't from my interview.

This is a different one. Cut eighteen.

So when I hear all this stuff on TV. She's not bipartisan. That's a lie. She's the most bipartisan person we have in the Senate today, and I have said this publicly. She is the soul of the Senate.

When you lose Collins of the world, you lose Susan Collins, basically the United States Senator. We all lose in America, not just you and me.

So I mean, you can't be more emphatic. That's what people want—a moderate, a moderate Republican, if a Republican, a moderate Republican in Maine—and for Joe Manchin, with his moderate credentials, to show up and say that—I imagine that means something. Oh yeah, I mean, Joe Manchin is about as good a surrogate as Susan Collins can can have. And the one number that that really sticks at you when you look at that Maine Senate race is when Susan Collins won in 2020. In what people thought was a tough, tough campaign, she won over twenty percent of the Democratic vote.

Those are the voters, the people that are swing voters that that light that voted for Joe Biden, but also voted for Susan Collins. That's what allowed her to have such a big margin of victory in twenty twenty.

So, man, that message, having mentioned there, who is a A moderate Democrat, someone who worked across the aisle. She worked with Joe Manchin on a lot of major legislation, and that sends the the message that that's what Susan Collins has always been about.

Someone who is able to be independent minded and work work with Democrats across the aisle.

Now we are in a much more partisan, polarized time, and I think the environment is is a notch worse to be a Republican in a blue state in this type of environment.

So it's going to be a you know tough race. That said, I think Troy Jackson. If you watch these debates, if you watch this. Guy on the campaign trail, he is a very weak challenger, probably one of the weaker challengers she's faced on on paper.

So he's terrible. Let's be honest, guys. He's terrible. Yeah, no, he's Susan. I mean, I always say never underestimate Susan Collins.

She's one in the toughest environments for Republicans, and it's hard to imagine. I mean, Troy Jackson is probably one of the worst and weakest candidates as a politician that she's ever faced. And to see him tell her to shut up, and then on a Sunday show, not apologize when you had opportunity, just say, "Hey, I lost my temper. I never should say that to anyone." But I just want to make people know I would never tell a heckler to come and heckle Susan Collins. Could have easily walked around, got around, but had no interest.

I mean, big picture is the two worst, two of the Worst candidates matter in Senate races, and El Sayed and Jackson. The reason that you have a blue state like Maine and a purple state like Michigan that are very much winnable for Republicans is because you have some of the worst candidates running that the Democrats nominated in those races. Josh, when you look at the big picture, I'm just watching CNN trying to tell everyone the Senate's lost and the House is gone. What do you think? Where do you think?

Do you think the House is? What percentage do you think the Democrats have the House, and what percentage do you think the Republicans hold the Senate? Yeah, I've talked to a lot of Republicans. The expectation is the House is gone. They only have a narrow majority right now, and the environment is looking pretty bad.

And they're pulling money from from races that they thought they were going to be on offense in the House.

So, you know, I think the number is going to be the the bigger question in the House, but You know, this is always going to be a tough, tough slog, and it questions how big is the wave on the House of the Senate side. It's a coin flip. I think we're talking about red state races that Democrats are going to need to win. These are states that have not voted Democrat in a long time, so it's going to have to be breaking history to accomplish that. Great job, Josh.

Thanks so much. Back in a moment. Larry Trump next. It's Brian Kilmeade. He's so busy he'll make your head spin.

It's Brian Kilmeade. So, Lara Trump will be on Saturday night. She's with us now. She's going to be out number in a couple hours. My view Saturday at nine o'clock.

The show's a big hit, and you get a lot of exclusive interviews and doing a great job. Lara, first off, thanks so much for coming in. Yeah, hopefully this is your debut, but not the last time on radio. But you're first off. Tell me who's set up for Sunday.

Can you give me a preview without giving it away? Yeah.

Well, Saturday. Saturday. You're on Sunday. Everybody should tune in to Brian Kilmeade on Sunday. Listen to her.

The hardest work. Man, by the way, at Fox News, I am literally like, does Brian Kilmeade ever sleep? And the answer is, I don't think so. And you are always happy too. That's what people don't know.

This is a great job, don't you think? It's a great job. I totally, I totally agree. Um, so I was in Michigan yesterday, and I got to talk with the this group of young men who are kind of taking up the mantle that Charlie Kirk laid down. There israelis who had friends who were killed on October seventh, and they said, you know what?

Instead of just saying Like we only want to hear about one side of things. We want to go to college campuses and we want to engage people. And their their group is called "Let's Do Something." They have had a huge response. They were just at the University of Michigan. They're going all over the country.

They're going to be on the show. We also are going to have Doctor. Amen, who is a world renowned physician who's a specialist on the brain. There's a lot of studies that are coming out right now to talk about dementia and Alzheimer's. By 2050, the risk is going to be through the roof for for Americans.

You're going to see so many Americans with Alzheimer's and dementia, and he says it is all preventable.

So you have to tune in 9 p.m. on Saturday night to make sure you get all the tips from him. And then, of course, we have Miranda Devine talking about all the happenings in France, the threat of socialism that is looming very large as we head to November. Why do you think Macron is so defensive when people say rampant immigration? Because it's personal.

Because that was his mission. Because he kind of implied against President Trump. He's like, anyone who says this is about immigration. Is being stupid doesn't know what they're talking about. Any foreign leader, so he didn't use President Trump's name.

Yeah, but we we know who he meant one hundred percent because President Trump warned him. But the Polish president said that too, and so did the Hungarian president.

Well, and look at what Poland is doing. They have the strongest borders in Europe right now, and they are having very little issue now that they have really enforced border security. I think Macron knows it was a huge mistake to allow people to come into your country who have no intention of assimilating to your culture. Who in fact want to bring their culture to yours already, and how do you do that, Ryan? You have to destroy something and break it down to rebuild it.

I think he realizes what a huge mistake he made, but he can't admit that. Of course, I think and used to run the RNC. I'm sure you see the flashing lights. You got to use this on the stump because this is about immigration, and number two is socialism. I could not believe that 57 of that budget spent on education, yet they're saying education's bad.

Let's just say they're right. Classes are too big. And schools are falling apart. What does it show you? Wasted money, socialist practices, and they say free preschool.

You know, you get free daycare, and now you have obviously free school, and you provide people free healthcare.

So you tax them a lot.

Now the services have dropped, and they have the quality. They they they got all of the things that these socialists pushed for in France, and yet look what it has led to. To your point, it is a degradation of everything. The people who are pushing Pushing Medicare for all and socialized healthcare here in America are leading us down a path that will mean that we are all worse off. Talk to people from Canada about where they're going to get medical procedures.

They're coming here to the United States of America because it does not work, and everyone suffers. And UK too. And yeah, big story about the welfare state just getting bankrupting them. But they are drilling offshore in the North Sea, just like Trump told them to. Look at that.

They passed that law real quick. How do you feel about the vacs? The mother of his of his opponent, as she spoke out and called her daughter a liar. You know, I haven't really looked into this a lot. I think that what happens is as you get closer to an election, there's a lot more focus on on little things that maybe ultimately don't matter to the voters.

I haven't I haven't looked deeply into this one with Vivek. Here's what I do know: I was able to work alongside of him to a large extent. He's an amazing guy. I mean, I think that one day we may see him run for president of the United States again, and I think he would get a lot of great support. And I think people in Ohio understand that.

He's there for them. Bernie Moreno looked like he was a flat-footed tie. Wins easily. You remember the polls at this point? Yeah.

Should people know about the whole polls, especially in Ohio?

Well, I would say just generally speaking, the polling industry is broken. And two or three on the left. Yeah, I think I think people understand that. And what we're also seeing, Brian, is a lot of Republicans and a lot of rural voters are not even answering pollsters.

So whenever they're taking their samples, they're they're not even counting Republicans. In a lot of respects. Check out Larry Trump on my view Saturday at nine o'clock. Thanks so much. You got it.

Thank you. From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmeade from 48 to 6 to Midtown Manhattan or around the country, around the world. Final hour of the day, or a different hour depending on where you are around the country. Got Carl Rove standing by.

He's going to be joining me to break everything down. Carl's also going to be in my Sunday show, One Nation Sunday at 10 p.m. Hope Eastern Time. Hope everyone will be watching. Then Jennifer Say is going to be with us, CEO of X Tech XY, and she's former Levi CEO and former gymnast, Olympic gymnast.

And she's a what a fantastic guest. This is her third fantastic career. She started her own. She started her own brand, and she also is very much involved in pushing back in the WNBA's political correctness and insistence on walking. Get this: the WNBA finals, they walk out rather than stand during the national anthem.

They walk. Both teams walk off the court, and the national anthem is played. No players. It's against the rules, but as usual, this weak ass commissioner never does stands up and says anything.

So they're able to do it along with all the other incidents. She won and showed up with an X X X Y shirt, you know, meaning her message is: I don't think men should be playing in women's sports. And she got yelled at, screamed at, and then was eventually asked to leave.

So she's going to be with us with that and keep. But keep in mind too: go to YouTube.com/slash at the Brian Kill Me Joe and. Get the YouTube page everyone's talking about. Let's get to the big three. Number three.

For years, Representative Omar has spent more time talking about the motivations behind allegations than the allegations themselves. There's a lack of transparency here on all of these issues. What she is not mentioning is that aspects of this investigation began during the Biden administration, then were shut down. That is Jonathan Turley. Yes, Elon Omar, you are in trouble.

She now she says, "I have no money. I live paycheck to paycheck. I'm a victim of Donald Trump." However, the investigation is revealing that you're possibly a fraudster and might be here illegally. You might end up deported. Who knows?

Number two, I agree with Steve Whitkoff saying something nice to a person who just released an American hostage. Whether you agree with the underlying sentiment or not, Steve Whitkoff is a diplomat. And that is J.D. Vance trying to cover for Steve Witkoff, who called Vladimir Putin a humanitarian. There's nobody who has done less to be a humanitarian than Vladimir Putin.

But their goal, not to alienate him, get him to the table, and get him to agree to a peace deal that will be enforced and will be lasting.

So to do that, sometimes you have to bite your tongue, but don't say that. Number one, Trump is the best politician of our generation, and when he gets serious and he's out on the stump, he moves things. He arouses people. He gets them engaged. He coins terms.

That is Newt Gingrich. Midterms, final pitch, and latest debate dominate the headlines as we find out what can be done before November third to change anything in the House and Senate, or has the die been cast? And let's bring in on Zoom, Carl Rove. Carl, welcome. Thank you, buddy.

Good morning.

So, when I see all these races, I really think up until November third, you can make or break it. If these are truly one to three points, do you believe? Do you look at these polls and think they lean left, Carl? If these were your candidates, is that how you view it?

Well, distinguish between the national polling and the campaign polling. The campaigns have made a bet by hiring a pollster and working on the model and getting agreement on what the electorate is going to sensibly look like, and so they have confidence in their own polling. National polling is something different. You and I have had, I think, this conversation before. Patrick Raffini, echelon, here's a really smart, data-driven guy, and he he looked at the question of is there systemic.

Bias in the polls. He looked at over three thousand three hundred polls over the last four cycles and found that seventy three percent of them overestimated the Democratic strength by election day, just under three percent.

Now, remember, there are three alternatives here: they were on target, they overestimated Republicans, or they overestimated Democrats.

So, the fact that of the three options, one of them gets seventy three percent of the polls suggests there is a bias.

Now, I'm. I'm not conspiracy, not saying this was deliberate, but nonetheless, it's it's an apparent pattern. If that pattern holds, and that's a big if, if the pattern holds, then these races that are one and two and three and four points could be flipped the other way.

So, yeah, I mean, this is a very close set of elections. There's nobody who consistently gets outside the margin of error, and and one candidate in particular has a history. Susan Collins in Maine, she didn't leave. In a single poll last time around, she was down by six in the average, and she won by eight, so was only fourteen points off. One out of every six voters.

This time around, she's actually led in a couple of polls, which ought to be a good sign for her.

So she also got a big boost, and I think there's no better surrogate to have than Joe Manchin, a Democrat now independent because he's so fed up with the Democratic Party. But he went to Lewiston, Maine, to campaign with her. Cut eighteen.

So when I hear all this stuff on TV, she's not bipartisan. That's a lie. She's the most bipartisan person we have in the Senate today, and I have said this publicly. She is the soul of the Senate. When you lose the Collins of the world, you lose a Susan Collins, basically the United States Senator.

We all lose in America, not just you in Maine. You think that works in Maine? Yeah, it does. I mean, Maine are you know Flinty independent people. We've seen this before.

People have you know people have voted for her at the same time that they're voting heavily for a Democrat for president, and it's because they recognize that she puts Maine first. And Maine is Maine for a long time has had that kind of attitude towards national politics. Yeah, so we'll see where that goes. I think that she's going to prevail. I want you to hear a little of El Sayed last night here.

Mike Rogers going at it a little bit with him. Cut one.

So being bought off by the Muslim Brotherhood. Having donors to his campaign from Hamas that support Hezbollah is not a problem. If you are going to go to the United States Senate, we need to know: Are you for America or are you for these terrorist groups overseas? Let's talk about this. He keeps raising this question about this association with an organization I've never been a part of because my mom, who's a nurse in Missouri, it doesn't make any sense, and it's actually really quite beneath you, Mike.

It's really quite beneath you.

Would you have gone that? That rude if you're Mike Rogers. Yeah.

Look, this is a guy. This is a guy who campaigned with Hassan Piker, who said on the final day of his primary, a guy who said America deserved what it got on nine eleven. This is a guy who openly supported President Morsi of Egypt, the candidate of the Muslim Brother Brotherhood, and and and agonized over his removal from office by the military, which said we don't want to be governed by it. Here's a guy. Here's a guy who said who was caught saying, you know what?

I don't want to speak out about. Khamenei, the death of Khamenei, because you know there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are mourning his defeat. That is the dictator, that is the theological dictator of Iran, who said death to America and was the impetus for their nuclear program, whose goal was to have a nuclear weapon with which they could they could threaten the destruction of the state of Israel and and threaten the United States. This is a guy who is receiving contributions from people who are tied up to Muslim charities that are. Suspected of funding Hamas and other terrorist groups, and here's a guy who was with a Muslim Brotherhood-associated student group when he was at the university in 2007.

And here's a guy who went to Oxford and said, "Oh, my great mentor, whose writings are brilliant, is a guy who is an advocate for the Muslim Brotherhood and for Islamic terrorism." So, please, there are lots of questions about this guy.

So, let's talk about Tal Rico, which, amazing to me, is did a pretty good job. Putting together a montage just on his flip flops. Listen, listen to cut number nineteen. There are many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six.

I've missed the mark on some of my past statements. I will be the first to admit it. What I meant is that there are two sexes, and then there's a small percentage of people with genetic abnormalities. I will say what I think. Not enough Democrats have been willing to say Joe Biden failed us.

On our southern border, and I'm worried about what this senseless border wall would do to our tourism here in the region, what it would do to our local economies. There are some folks, and that would think that if you deny your child's gender identity, that that's incredibly harmful, and and whether or not we can we label it with the term abuse. I mean, it's abusive. I believe that parental rights are sacred, and we should trust parents to raise their kids. But if there's something that's going to endanger A child or a minor—certainly something that could could cause permanent damage.

Then I'm always going to try to err on the side of protecting those kids.

So protecting what? I don't know what do you mean by that. But you see the flip flops, right, Carl? Have you ever seen a candidate like this?

Well, there are a lot of more. I mean, here's a guy who said. Oil and gas jobs are going away, and that's a good thing because the use of fossil fuels is an existential threat to climate. And now he's saying, "Elect me, and I'll protect good-paying Texas energy jobs." I mean, it is a realization, a recognition on his part that his views expressed in the past are great in Travis County, Texas. I live in Travis County, Texas.

I live in Austin. It's a very liberal town. I mean, the Politics of that city would scare the pants off you. Yeah, they make they make parts of New York look like you know the conservative you know Arizona.

Okay, yeah, I mean, but but his his he's recognized that he he can't win statewide if if all people here are these things like there are six genders, don't you know? And so you know he's give him credit. The guy's recognizing that it's a liability and doing everything he can to walk away from them. And unfortunately. The the the Republican candidate has done had did little to prepare for this in the summer when the first shoots of this were seen.

Yeah, now it's a dead heat, forty nine forty nine, and the turnout in some of the Republican districts has been strong early. Republicans have a reputation of showing up on election day. Are there some good early signs for Paxson?

Well, recognize we only have like a couple of days, like two days of total returns, and the Democrats typically generate a lot of turnout on early voting on the first day or two.

So, and you're right, Republicans tend to come out on election day.

So, but I think it's premature. I will say that the turnout is up over what it was four years ago in the first couple of days. If that pattern continues, that's advantageous to the Democrats because early voters are typically slightly more. More Democrat than than than election day voters are.

So do you think that Paxton, who out I guess out showed, he did a better job, had better numbers after the last election than Ted Cruz, right, in his battle?

So Paxton has done well statewide. Do you think he will win, or do you think he will lose? I know neither one of us are fans of his. And I'm not, but I'm much. I know exactly how he's going to vote.

You know exactly what he's going to do. Personal problems aside. Yeah.

Look, I think it's a jump ball. The election were today, I think. Yeah, Talarico would win if the election were today, but the election's not today. And you know, I was in grocery store the other day. This has happened to me in the coffee shop, at the airport, on the street corner.

But the great one was in the grocery store. Woman comes up to me and says, "Oh, he's Paxton's a terrible human being." But but I'm so concerned about having a Democratic Senate. I think I'm going to have to vote for him. And I think that that the question is how much of that is there.

Now Paxton does have a consistent problem when he ran for re-election four years ago as Attorney General, and that's a year before all of this kerfluffle over the impeachment, which happened in twenty twenty-three. Actually, I'm sorry, twenty twenty-two. Yeah, twenty twenty-three. He ran behind the rest of the Republican ticket by an average of one hundred and fifty-five thousand votes. Four years before that, when we had a Senate race at the top of the ballot, he ran behind all the statewide candidates by an average.

One hundred seventy-five thousand votes. That's even though he's like third or fourth on the ballot, depending on whether there is a Senate race or not. And underneath him are the, you know, the comptroller, the land commissioner, the railroad commissioner, the agriculture commissioner, the comptroller. All of those races are blow him on the ballot, and yet those people ran ahead of him.

So there is something about the guy which has already created a problem. This is going to be a nail biter, I think. And could have the balance of power. Do you think Tefoya can go the rest of the way? She's within one or two points in most polls.

Well, I got to tell you, I met her about three weeks ago. I was really impressed. She's personable. She's empathetic. There's just a solidity about her when you meet her, and I can see how people relate to her and the ability to talk sports with some outstate.

Farmer is is a good thing too.

So I and look, Flanagan is is is a left wing loony, and I mean, she said some very strange things, and she is she is tied at the hip with Walls, the very unpopular Democratic governor, and she is deeply involved in all these scandals about all this government money that ended up being. Siphoned off by frauds in in the state, many of them involving you know Somalia immigrants.

So, I'd I'd be delighted. I think she'd be a great addition to the Senate because she's she'd be a fresh, you know, fresh new breath of fresh air because she's she really is. She's thoughtful, she's smart, and she clearly wants to do the best things she possibly can for the people of her state. I know President Trump's going to help out in twenty twenty. I'm sure, but this is the last time it really.

Going to affect him, and he is busy. I'm looking at today; he's in Sioux City, Iowa. Friday, Fort Myers. Saturday, Perry, Georgia. Sunday, St.

Clair County, Minnesota. Yeah, Michigan. Michigan. Excuse me. Then he's going to he is going to be Monday.

Well, that's interesting. Monday, I thought he was going to be in New York. He's going to be in Missouri, and then Tuesday is going to be in Lubbock, and then Waco, and then Wednesday is going to be in Ohio. Your thoughts? Not to correct you, but on Monday he's not going to be in Missouri.

He's going to be in Mississippi.

Now they are both M's and they've got S's in them. My bad.

So, so Carl, you wrote in your column about this. Getting the get getting the MAGA vote out is it working with him going on the stump with these crazy enthusiastic crowds? We won't know until election day. What do you think? Look, well.

I'd feel a lot better if there was a if if there was a deliberate strategy where they said, "Look, this is the message we're going to deliver, and we're going to get to deliver this message, so that nothing else gets covered." But but he goes off and starts talking about the posterior of John Senator John Houston, and I'm thinking, what kind of a message is that? And and not only that, but George Bush wouldn't have done that. No, no, I mean. What you want to have when you plan these events, you want to know what it is that you want to. The message you want to.

Sure, you want to entertain, but you want to have. What's the dominant message of the day? I'll take his side. You ready? That's an athlete.

You you are addressing an athlete. You are voting for Senator Yousted, who is an athlete. That's what he's trying to say. Yeah.

Okay. Promise me this: you're never going to comment adversely, favorably on my posterior. Because I mean, weird. It's just weird. Come on, let's.

It's the president of the United States is saying, "God, he's got a great ass." I mean, please. And my other point in my column was: I mean, you look, it is not a plus. Yeah.

It is not a plus every time to answer every question from the press. That that that photo line, that that press line, the other day, as he went to the helicopter, he said lots of things that are problematic, in my opinion. But as usual, he's unorthodox. He gets the crowds, and they seem to love him. We'll see if the mag vote gets out, and one or two percent could make the difference.

He's running through the tape. Carl Rove, thanks so much, and I can't wait to talk to you on Sunday on One Nation. Yes, sir. I'll be ready. Go get.

Just don't talk posterior. I don't or do. Don't.

Okay. Good.

Okay. Good.

I said remember that. Don't.

Back in a moment. Increasing your intelligence quotient. What the hell did you just say? It's Brian Kilmeade. From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmeade.

But I am standing over here, and I don't do this with men very often. I started examining his body because I didn't know he was a great athlete. And I looked and I watched up and down. I looked at his ass and I looked at the hole, and then I looked at his hands. Look at his hands.

He's got these. Like claws. And I got it. You are a great athlete. I didn't know that because he doesn't talk about that.

And you know why we know that, guys? Because he's going to be in my new book, "The Game Still Count Next Year." And John Eustis did a fantastic job. The senator who's trying to get that seat for himself for six full years because he took it from JD Vance. He got appointed when JD Vance became vice president.

So the president pointing out, I find that funny. You hear the audience? Traditional Republicans like Karl Rove don't, and I tell them that. I go. He doesn't get Trump.

He appreciates him, but they fight a lot. Karl Rove and Trump, and those are things that that makes Trump Trump. I have no problem with that. Do you?

I do not. It's different, right? And catches everyone's ear. And by the way, used to like turn red because he's like a humble guy. A talk show that's real.

This is the Brian Kilmeade show. Kathy Engelberg cannot clearly define what a woman is, but she's absolutely certain that I'm a man. I mean, how does that make sense? If the league is still working through these questions, how can Its commissioner be so certain about my eligibility without explaining the standards that she's applying.

So that is Ennis Cantor truly befuddled on how he can try out for the WNBA simply because he's a man when you can't define what a man is. And a woman is Jennifer. Say still thinks about this all the time. We can't believe this is an issue. And Jennifer is an author, as you know, filmmaker, about to have a documentary pop out soon.

We're going to have more on that later. A business executive, and also she's the founder of X X Y Athletics, and that's what one of the shirts. If you see Jennifer these days, she's usually wearing that type of sweatshirt or that type of apparel. Jennifer, thanks so much for joining us. Do you understand why why Anna's can't just confuse?

Used. I do the the letter he was sent by the commissioner says you can't play in the league because you're not a woman. They won't say what a woman is. The league must not know that. In you know the premise of this whole ideology is if you say you're a woman, you are.

It's a feeling.

So how can they prove he's not a woman? How do we know what he feels? I would also add to that that in 21 states plus Washington D.C., you can change the marker on any identification with. Just by saying you're a woman, like he could go and change his driver's license right now. There's nothing they can do.

So at that point, what's the league gonna do? Because he's saying he's a woman, which is what the whole movement is grounded in, and he'll have legal documents that say he's a woman.

So are they still gonna say he can't play? It's ridiculous. He's pointing out the absurdity of the whole ideology. But here's the yeah, here's the crazy thing: they have no leadership at all. It's not even bad leadership; it's non-existent.

So the WNBA just makes a statement. They run for the hills. The NBA, even through the George Floyd things, they stood for the national anthem. They came out and all that stuff when the NFL was kneeling. They stood.

They knew it was the rule.

Well, these these same players are some of them that are refusing to stand now. Stood weeks ago when they played in the FIFA Championships. Angel Reese played for Team USA in the FIFA Championships and stood for the anthem.

So why would they do it then and not now? It doesn't even make any sense. They're not even consistent. They're total hypocrites. And yes, the Lee Rule is.

You must stand.

So they're not doing it, but obviously the league is not reinforcing that rule.

So there's yeah, there's no leadership. They don't run this thing like it's a business. They run it like it's a political action committee. You know, I mean they they have a golden goose and Caitlin Clark. They don't lead with her to market the brand and the business.

It's like they don't want to make money. They want to drive this thing in the ground. They don't welcome fans from different backgrounds. You know, we were I was just at a game. First off, I want to back up just so everybody knows, because you're not watching the WNBA finals.

They have walked out on every before the before the national anthem. They literally run off the court. And they, they, whoever it is, Elana Maris, said the other night. I think it was. Sat by herself, nobody on the court.

It is the craziest anti-American move on year two fifty. By the way, just to underline it, you would think these people would feel so grateful. Professional athletes playing in front of a sold-out crowd in America, the number one league in the world. Tell me where these women can work and make the salaries they do. Fill a stadium, the Valkyries Stadium, Chase Arena is eighteen thousand people.

I was there; it was packed. Where are these women going to get this opportunity? How are they not filled with gratitude for the opportunity to play a sport they love, get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions a year, to play a game? Let's be clear: it's a game. Like this is America, and yet they can't muster.

The tiniest bit of respect to just even stay on the court, and isn't it disrespectful of women? They walked out on Alana Moore. Set. She's an iconic female singer. She's a feminist, as far as I know, and they're walking out on her.

So it's totally disrespectful, not just to the flag, but to the. Actual person performing, but the league has no leadership, and they're not running this thing like a business, and they're not welcoming all fans. How many games have you been to? You always wear the X X X Y. They very recognizable.

You're a famous gymnast, and then you're now you're a famous business executive who's founded a brand new company.

So, how many games have you gone to, and what have you experienced? I've been to five one finals game. I'm going to another one this Saturday in Atlanta. I watch all the time. I do love it now.

I'm having so much fun watching. I'll watch it home by myself. I wear the shirt every time. I usually bring some friends. Every time, let's.

I mean, this last time in San Francisco was the worst experience I've had. You know that it was absolutely vile. Tell us what happened. Yeah.

So here's what I will say.

So I was with three other women. We're we're four middle aged women. All we did was wear the shirt. That's it. And for the first half of the game, we were basically ignored, and we had fun with our seatmates.

People were talking to us on either side, but at around halftime, a woman. We were on the jumbotron. And so, a woman across the aisle saw us on the jumbotron, and that really made her angry.

So she stood up and started pointing at us, and called security over to have us removed for what. And I have no idea for wearing a shirt that really enraged her. They marched her out to talk to her quietly to find out what happened. She came back. Then they marched us out.

They did not tell us to change our shirt. They did not tell us to cover up. They just kind of reported what she'd said. But at that point, the entire. Audience was whipped up into a frenzy as we were walking up and out.

People were wishing that we kill ourselves, telling us we're disgusting, using all sorts of expletives, and it was so bad. Security said we're going to escort you out when the game is over because we're concerned about your safety. Why did they move you? Did they let you go back to your seat or no? They just moved you out as if.

Yeah.

Oh, you did.

Okay. They we went right back. We weren't kicked out. Contrary to some people, they let us stay. They didn't tell us to take our shirts off.

They didn't tell us to change our shirts. They just sort of checked the box of telling us what this woman with a mask and a beard had said. A mask and a beard. Yeah.

Nice. It's always good. As soon as I see the mask, I know we got problems. On the chip, fantastic treat.

So the mob is a crazy thing because they were we were fine for the entire first half of the game. What this woman did by pointing at us whipped. It's scary when the mob gets in a frenzy. You know.

Do you worry about now walking the streets? No, I mean maybe I'm naive, but I look Brian. I do what I do. You know, I don't have full time security. I do get threats.

Mostly, I kind of walk around unnoticed most of the time. As I'm walking around, I live in Denver. People, if they say anything to me, will tell me they agree with me and they like my shirt. Only occasionally do I have a more kind of confrontational experience.

So I'm just going to live my life. I'm not going to. What am I going to do? This is what I'm going to do. I'm going to live my life.

If somebody wants to hurt me, I guess they're going to hurt me. Yeah, you can take care of yourself too. You are you are extremely fat. I'm small though. Yeah, I'm small though.

I'm like five two, and but that's fine. I I don't. I think most of these people, the vast majority, they they they just want to yell at you. They're not going to actually do anything. No one's ever touched.

I would just love to see a a man who thinks he's a woman go into the WNBA and beat the hell out of all these guys, and then they'll realize Jennifer Say is one hundred percent right, and they'll be wearing XXXY apparel. But you had a chance to interact with Sophie Cunningham, right? Who's making a courageous stand. What's that been like? Yeah, we'll watch her.

You've been watching the whole thing. I have been watching the whole thing. The whole thing started with the WNBA because Sophie made a statement all the way back in January or February to ESPN Magazine that little girls deserve fair competition and should not have to face boys in the locker room or on the court. That's all she said. She was asked a question, she answered, and so a bunch of people show up at the games where she's playing to show her support because it can be pretty lonely to say this thing.

We know, right?

So people just wanted to know she's supported. That's what has caused all of this. Curfuffle, if you will. I did have the chance to meet her very briefly at a game after a game in Minneapolis that I attended with Riley Gaines, where we were told we had to put our sign down. Riley had a sign that said "Thank you, Sophie." That was it.

They said it violated the rules. It did not violate the rules. The rules. She came out and said hi after. She was very nice and gracious.

I think the most notable thing is she stayed and talked to every little girl that waited in line to talk to her. I mean, she just seemed so nice and affable, and to really Love the game and to really love the fans, you know. Yeah, she's in it for the right. And now people are saying one of these columnists said it's up for Indiana to cut her because she's such a distraction. She's an average player.

You don't need that distraction, and that's the thing. She's great, right? But for the WNBA, they say she's workmanlike. She comes off the bench, does her, you know, gets a double double type thing, and as a bodyguard for Caitlin Caitlin Clark, I got it. That takes so much more guts.

When you're a star, they don't. Want to? They don't want to miss your scoring and your playing, so they'll absorb a lot. When you're when you're a blue collar player, it's very easy to make a stand on them. That I even have more respect for that.

Yeah, I mean she's a sixth man, right? She's not a starter. She comes off the bench. She does her thing. She's got a high three point percentage.

Here's the thing I would say though: she puts people in seats. Like of all the games I've gone to, there are people. There are little girls that wear Caitlin Clark jerseys and wear Sophie Cunningham jerseys. I don't see any other jerseys.

So to me, that means whether she's you know a starter or not, she's bringing people into the games. The top fifteen or twenty games. Games of the year in terms of viewership were Fever Games. People watch the Fever because they like Caitlin and Sophie.

So, from a business perspective, I'd bring her back if she's putting people in seats. This is a business after all. But as I said earlier, they're not running this this thing like a business. I mean, why are the Warriors paying Steph Curry sixty three million dollars this year? Right, he's a thirty-eight-year-old, six-foot-two.

I mean, his best days are behind him. I loved watching Steph back in the day, but the reason they pay him that much is he puts butts in seats. Yep. It's business. Yeah, no, no doubt about it.

So we look at the W A coming back, the the N W S L, the the men's, the women's soccer league. It's got great. It's got prominence. It's got promotion. They certainly have the players, and they already, unlike the men, because you know they wouldn't play in a hundred years before the men be here in America.

We took it seriously, but the women have always been among the best. This league. Yeah.

Do you feel as though when you are marking, do you like the? They're marketed. Do you like their product?

Well, I don't like the fact that they don't test for sex, and I don't like the fact that they don't even test for drugs. You can play, and they don't even do drug testing. I know this from actual former pro players. They're never tested for drugs, and I think there's some pretty good evidence that there are male players in the league already. Really, Barbara?

Band of being one. There are three players. Who were banned from other leagues, other international leagues, because of testosterone levels that were way too high, and now they play in the U.S. in the NWSL.

So I think we need the same boundary drawn here in the NWSL. Possibly we need it even more than in the WNBA because the suspicion is that there are actual men playing. But let's just start with drug testing. Do we do that? I mean, they're.

The WNBA at least tests for drugs. They don't test for performance enhancing drugs, so I think the league has problems. It is growing. We have a new franchise here in Denver. I've been to a game there too, the Summit.

It was full, so I think it's super cool. Look, lots of little girls are playing sports. My daughter plays soccer. She had a great time at the game. I love it, but I just want fairness in the sport.

All right, Jennifer, you don't have a gymnast. Your daughter's not a gymnast. She's a soccer player. I wouldn't let anyone near gymnastics. Gym's not one of my kids.

It's yeah. I like the team sports thing. It's cool. Teaches cool skills. I hear you, Jennifer Say.

Thanks so much. Thank you, Brian.

Okay, we'll have her back when the documentary comes out. You'll listen to Brian Kilmeade show. We'll wrap up this hour in a moment. Real talk. Real guests, real insight, where curiosity meets conversation.

It is the Brian Kilmeade Show. A radio show like no other. It's Brian Kilmeade. We've made all the preparations. We've been in touch with the appropriate authorities.

Protests are not unusual in France, as you know, and that's something that we will be aware of and make sure that the appropriate arrangements are made. That is Commissioner of the NFL, and there is supposed to be a game in Paris this weekend. And I don't remember a game ever being played there. Maybe it was; I just don't remember it. I don't even know they can figure it out.

But there is supposed to be huge protests over the weekend. I know a lot of a lot of the Saints players are saying I am not taking their families because you know it's supposed to be a great week. You are supposed to let as much as the players rather be home when you go to an exotic location. You want to make it a family vacation, give them a chance to his family to spread out. Not going to do that this time, would you?

I know a couple of people that were supposed to go to Paris. They said, "Of course, I'm not going. I'm canceling." And the thing that I find it most disturbing: twenty four hundred arrested, over five hundred thousand protested, one hundred fifteen thousand in Paris alone. And when it's obvious that these guys are in their twenties and they're protesting this condition of school, and were supposed to think that there were evidently some teenagers arrested, but only a handful. The rest were all in their twenties and thirties.

And we found fifty one separate groups are represented, and we see all obviously people from another country running around doing. Doing this, even though many of them are covering their face, you could tell. To bring up immigration, Macron comes out and says, "You must be like stupid, or just doesn't like France." Some of these nations just don't like France. Poland doesn't like France. I didn't know that.

Really, I just think that they saw a situation totally out of control. You've ignored your borders, you let everyone in, and and what happens is nobody wants to be French. You got other problems, but nobody wants to be French.

So you let these people in. Give him the honor of citizenship, but you don't do anything with him.

So, meanwhile, there's in Ukraine they they did make some progress, and the progress is essentially this: they are going to be having in the next two weeks, three weeks, two weeks, probably over the UAE, they're going to have technical meetings towards some type of peace, but as Yesterday, I thought that Steve Woodcock. I don't know if he wants this back. It seemed pretty measured. He came out and said that for letting that hostage out at seventy-six years old, that the years of being tortured, and he did absolutely nothing. An American for letting Stephen Hudson out.

The call, the Steve Woodcock called Vladimir Putin. This cut twenty-nine. President Putin, so good to see you. I want to thank you very much. The president sends his thanks.

Our whole nation sends their thanks because of Stephen Hubbard. He's going because of you. He's going home to his family. He's a 75 year old man, and you talk so much about my president, President Trump, being humanitarian. You are you are humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that.

I commend you, and I thank you again. Put the president, vice president, big spot. I know the president's approach. Very simple, but President Xi's got huge problems. Torches the Uyghurs.

Vladimir Putin huge problems. But if I need something from them, if I think it's going to help our country, I will. Not do the things that are going to jeopardize the relationship unnecessarily. You go invade Taiwan, relationships broken. You invade Ukraine, it's broken.

So the president comes in with a fresh slate, says, "Does no good to say Vladimir Putin's a bad guy who should be heavily sanctioned." But we see what he's doing: bombing innocent people, going for going for apartment buildings and and shopping malls. He's trying to kill Ukrainians. The last thing you ever want to call him is humanitarian. There's nobody who less deserves that label. Than, than Vladimir Putin, he is the Hitler of our time, and he's still in power.

But the president United States wants to find a way to defuse things in the Europe and start working them back into the economy. And to do that, you don't say you're a mass murderer. And my analogy is this: If I'm trying to break a gang, and one and one of the gang members kills somebody and is on death row for killing somebody. I might, if I need information on that gang to further take it apart and get the other criminals off the streets, I might be nice to that guy, knowing he's killed a number of people in cold blood, maybe even tortured them. I might be nice to that guy.

Why? What's my objective to get the other guys off the street? I think that's the way the president looks at it.

However, I just think that Steve Woodcock put him in an odd spot when the president of the United States is asked this. Cut thirty-two. You mean Steve Whitcup said he was a humanitarian? Yes. Well, I guess you could say for that particular purpose, for the purpose of allowing a man who was thinking he was going to be in prison for life out, but you know, I I wouldn't say anything one way or the other.

Yeah, here's a problem. You imprisoned him illegally, irrationally. He was a teacher, and living in a place where you invaded in Ukraine. That's the problem. That's why he's not a humanitarian.

But the president is trying to help out his good buddy, who obviously put him in a bad spot. Brian Kilmeade.
