It's the Ryan Killmeat Show, 1866-408-7669. We have a lot to discuss, and we're going to get to all of it, as well as your weekend. I hope it was a safe one, and of course, the coverage has been consumed by the Queen. Uh, and uh, the new king, I get it. There's a lot of interest in it.

It's gonna go on for the next two weeks. I'll cover some of it, but it's not gonna dominate the schedule. We have a lot of other things going on, and you know, this is mostly symbolic, and it's another country. I know linked to us, but for the most part, I think we gotta stick with things that are more substantial, more substantive, and have some fun.

So let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three, sponsored by Crunch Fitness. Interested in owning your own business in a growing $30 billion industry? Check out CrunchFitness at Crunch.com. Number three. It's happening with lightning speed.

Advancing Ukrainian troops in the northeast Kharkiv region are taking back lost territory. Despite casualties along the way, the gains have been rapid and dramatic. Is this amazing? Deborah Pada, reporting for CBS, making major gains. That's the only way you describe the remarkable offensive from Ukraine, forcing Russia to retreat from Kharkiv and Kherson in some places.

And Putin, his field general, fired his field general after 16 days. This all shows to me a degree of panic. Could the best be yet to come? Number two. We have very, very limited ability to see into Afghanistan right now.

I've said I think we've got certainly less than 2% or 3% of the intelligence capability that we had before we withdrew. Frank McKenzie, the general in charge of the withdrawal. That was a disaster. 9-11 Afghanistan, the war on terror that never ended, even though we pretend it has. Differing views about the threats facing America and who the real enemy is.

We'll review. Number one. What matters and what's going to matter here and what the Democrats who are so concerned about the threat to democracy, the most cynical, horrible thing I've seen is the money they're putting into Republican primaries to try to nominate Republicans who are election deniers. It is so true. Governor Chris Christie, talking about that.

2022 never seems so close. As the last primary is packing a punch in New Hampshire, as Dem cynically try again to pick the Republican to face against a very vulnerable senator Hassan, while gloves come off in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. A little bit later in this show, we're going to be speaking to Governor Sununu not this hour. If not, you can get it online or get it on the podcast because he definitely would have won. He is an extremely popular governor, very successful, very successful, well-known family.

And I've met him. He's very impressive. And I would say that he would have. Crunched her, crushed her, but he does not like General Balduck. And General Balduck is right now the front runner over Chuck Morse.

And Chuck Morse is somebody trailing by, I think, double digits. He is more in line with McConnell, more in line with Sununu. And I like Balduck. He's been a good friend to this show, and he certainly has his military point of view that rankles a lot of people. And that's fine.

I appreciate the service he's given to this country. But he's also said things about Sununu that he doesn't like. Said Sunu is a communist sympathizer, a Chinese communist sympathizer, and fanned the conspiracy theory about 2020 that Bill Gates was using COVID-19 vaccine to implant chips in Americans. I have not heard him say that, but that's what they're saying. You know, leaders in both parties believe Bullduck is going to be too far right to win.

And now they have about $25 million. They have millions of dollars put aside for whoever gets this nomination because Republicans need this seat. I don't know if they get it if Bullduck wins because they don't believe he has a shot. I think that would be wrong because the people of New Hampshire have a right to pick who they want. Republicans in New Hampshire have a right to pick who they want.

If they pick him and you have money for him, you've got to do it. But we'll see. No one can force them to do anything. What is pretty clear is Democrats have gone out of their way to put money into Bullduck's campaign. How about this?

They have spent more than $3 million to shape the outcome of this. That is more than Bullduck put in himself.

So he benefited from that as they attack Morse on his behalf, hoping that he'll win.

Now, if you are President Biden and some of the Democratic Party, you really think democracy is at stake because election deniers refuse to admit that President Biden won the election. Why are you pushing these people? They could very well win in Colorado and now. Governor of Pennsylvania and now Senate for New Hampshire. What makes you think that there's not enough good qualities that these men and women have to overcome what many people think is a minor thing about January 6th?

That people think that's a horrible incident that came and went. Here's more from Chris Christie, cut for. What matters and what's going to matter here and what the Democrats who are so concerned about the threat to democracy, the most cynical, horrible thing I've seen is the money they're putting into Republican primaries to try to nominate Republicans who are election deniers. If that's such a threat to democracy, why would you want to make one of those people the final two for the United States Senate? Then that is so true.

Christy went on, too, to talk about the attacks on MAGA. Keep in mind.

Now, If you are President Biden and you're focusing on your bipartisan infrastructure deal, your bipartisan gun deal, the mini Build Back Better, you jammed down our throats, that Joe Manchin, and I'll talk about this later, got totally duped into signing, Okay, and then you bring up, well, there's these Democratic super PACs that are putting money into these far-right-wing candidates because they think they could lose the general. That's one thing. But he is actually running that Democrats are a threat to democracy, that MAGA, ultra-MAGA, they're a semi-fascist among the Republican Party. And you are actually having super PACs on the Democratic side propel these candidates possibly to the Senate and governor seats. Here's more from Chris Christie, cut three.

The Democrats think that it's a winning argument. for them in the midterms. to do what the president did during that speech and attack personally attack. The people who have supported Donald Trump, 74 million of them who voted for him in 2020, as a politician, I say, great, go get him. Go get them, Mr.

President. Because what people don't like Donny Politics, and you know this, is people who govern against brand. He ran to be a uniter. He ran and said he was going to bring the country back together, and then he stood on that stage with a blatantly red background, surrounded by Marines, and attacked 74 million people. If you watch this, you're not a MAGA Republican.

Did you feel attacked? I did. Because I voted for Donald Trump in 2020. Yeah, and right. And he worked for him.

And immediately, when he was clear he's not going to win the primary, he jumped on board. He was never chief of staff. That was really chronicled in great detail in Jared Kushner's book. But now it looks like if it's Donald Trump's going to be the nominee, I think Governor Christie runs. He's got to create some momentum, and maybe he can.

In Pennsylvania, creating some momentum, I think, is Dr. Oz. He's going into the suburbs. He knows he's got to win there. He knows that's where he's trailing.

And he also knows what to talk about. And he doesn't have to manufacture it. And he doesn't have to use any controversy. Crime. If you talk to anybody, I'm talking about people of wealth and working class people who have to use mass transportation or want to go to a Barnes and Noble.

They're witnessing crime happening right in front of them, smashing grabs at a CVS and a right aid. You don't have to be somebody that has to go into a gang-infested community to see crime that we used to see in Chicago and certain parts of New York and Philadelphia. It is everywhere. And that's what Dr. Odz is pushing, and he's smart to do that.

He says he's pitched himself as a son of immigrants living the American dream. He doesn't talk about how many houses he got, but he shouldn't run from that statement. Fetterman comes out and says, Well, Dr. Oz doesn't know how many houses. Listen.

The guy became a surgeon. You don't do that. I don't care how much money you have, unless you're going to actually sweat it out. work countless hours, not make any money until you're like thirty three years old. And this doesn't matter what your parents do, who basically had nothing and started to emerge.

When you get a syndicated show and you're still assuring and you become internationally known, there's nothing to run from. And I don't think he should be embarrassed that he's wealthy. That's another story. Oz also told Axios that crime is emerging as a top issue along with inflation. And Fetterman is extremely weak on crime.

He wants to talk about abortion. Fetterman wants zero cash bail, and all that is true. He is an extremely weak candidate, coming off a stroke. There's no way he's got a 10-point lead in Pennsylvania. I don't think he'd have a 10-point lead in New York.

Next, Wisconsin. Ron Johnson is trailing by about two to Mandela Barnes.

Now, if you follow Ron Johnson's career, he's always trailing. And he always ends up winning. This time, they're pouring over $50 million. into a campaign to stop him. Do you believe this?

Just to stop him from getting six more years in that seat. That's what Democrats see him as such a major threat.

So a major major theme to the Johnson campaign is going to be corruption, yes. But he's also talking about crime, which is great.

Nowhere is that clearer into the negative ad blitz that he's receiving now. He's going after Mandela Barnes simply on crime. And that will definitely resonate with the people of Wisconsin. And you know what he's using too? The National Republican Senatorial Committee is doing an ad featuring the Waukershaw Christmas parade when that crazy murderer just drove through a parade of innocent people and killed them at a Christmas parade.

And that's really the types of crazies that this guy, if you look at his background, belonged in prison. He got out and he killed again. He'll probably be spending the rest of his life there. And I guess the point is, does Federman want that guy out on bail? We know the same people commit the same crime over and over again.

We know that they want to empty the prisons. They want to be able to rehab. There are certain people that are unrehabbable. And that should be the theme if Republicans are going to be successful or if Democrats want to have success. You know, you see Senator Tim Ryan, Congressman Tim Ryan, try to be Senator Tim Ryan and basically talk like a Republican, talk about being tough on crime.

Going for student loan forgiveness. If my goodness, to be successful, if you have to act like something else, isn't that bizarre? I have to forget about everything I ran on, everything I voted for, change my opinion on everything in order to dupe the people to vote for me. You should run on the fact that you passed all those things, you supported all those things that Joe Biden supported, that are so popular that Joe Biden's not asked to. Campaign anywhere.

Just raise money for people everywhere.

So the other big st story is they're starting to roll Kamala Harris out. And I just can't believe Chuck Todd gave such a soft interview to Kamala Harris. I guess he's desperately trying to make her look good, but it's almost impossible. She just is talks nonsense all the time. I talk about the courts.

She talked about the border being sealed, courts being an activist court.

Now you could talk about decisions, but to go in and attack another branch of government as a vice president I think is nuts. Listen to her, Cut Ten. I think this is an act of his court. We had. an established Right.

For almost half a century, and this court took that constitutional right away. And we are suffering as a nation. Because of it. Really, returning this to the States is suffering as a nation because of it. They had a reason to do it.

You could attack the decision, but I think it's really dangerous. Can you imagine if one of the Supreme Court justices says, Well, you got an illegitimate president?

Well, it's a big deal. That's what I think. And that's what a lot of people think. Whether it's Biden or Trump or Bush or Obama. Yeah, you got an illegitimate president.

Okay. That would be so inappropriate. But it's it's exactly what's happening. For Fetterman in particular, he is doubling down on he doesn't want to talk about crime because he's weak on crime. He doesn't want to talk about crime because he lets murderers out of prison.

But when it comes to abortion, he's talking about what Kamala Harris also talked about. She wants more Senate votes to blow up the filibuster and To do election integrity, which means she wants to nationalize the federal election laws, which is extremely dangerous. Because states want to have a shot, you got to go tell Washington State, for example, you can't do just solid mail mail and out voting anymore. You want to tell New York how many drop boxes to have? You want to change?

Take some of those drop boxes out in Georgia. Here's Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman, who wants to be the senator, and he also knows this. That if you get over fifty votes, And you nullify cinema and mansion. You could do anything, cut nine. Who wants Me to be.

The fifty-first vote.

Sounds like you sounds like you want me to be, right? But you know what I would do if I was that 51st vote? First, Rid of the filibuster. Right next. Codify row.

Good luck with that. By the way, if Democrats are really that dumb, Do they understand that there's like a 90% chance that the Senate flips if it doesn't flip in 2022 and 2024? Do they know there's an excellent chance that a Republican is going to replace any Democratic nominee? Are you want to hand over the Senate to the Republicans in two years?

Now you try to jam everything down everyone's throat and hope you get everyone on the same page. But to me, it's the ultimate short-term, short-sighted approach to this whole thing. 1-866-408-7669. We'll go over the latest. We also have a special master.

It looks like the president, the former president Donald Trump, has got to submit his criteria and some of his suggestions for a special master, even though it's being challenged in court. The Department of Justice wants to use just one of their people. That's farcical, too. We'll see if they can agree on this. It seems to be a brawl for it all, and we'll discuss that.

When we come back, too, on Afghanistan, 21 years since the 9-11 events, Fox did an incredible job covering it. I think many people are noticing it. I love that they sang the national anthem and took over from the singer in New Jersey at the jet game yesterday, where you just shut it down almost like the Islanders did in hockey, and you let the crowd take over. I mean, two years from when they were taking a knee on the national anthem, and some knuckleheads still are. I love the fact that it's totally flipped on its head now.

And the NFL televised the national anthem, which I think is great. Listen to the Brian Kill Me Chow.

It's Brian Killmeade. It's a humiliating defeat for Vladimir Putin's men, who have been forced to beat a hasty retreat and a clumsy attempt to save face from Moscow, who says it's withdrawing to reinforce troops in Donetsk.

Ukraine has been emboldened by the steady supply of Western military aid, but it needs more to keep the momentum going, says the mayor of the now-occupied Militopol, Ivan Fedorov. That's the reporter for Face of the Nation, the CBS foreign correspondent, talking about this stunning news that Moscow abandoned two major areas in the Ukraine Kharkiv region on Saturday after Ukraine forces choked out a major supply point of Russian troops. Putin, at the time, over the weekend, was at a Ferris wheel dedication. They still hold a fifth of the country, but Putin has gotten rid of a general that he put in place just 16 days ago after this crushing defeat in eastern Ukraine.

Some say that they picked up 3,000 square miles. We cannot confirm that, but we do confirm about 1,158 miles have been reclaimed. By the way, the Russians are so panicked, they are throwing off their uniforms, wearing civilian clothes, hope to not be recognized, abandoning their military vehicles as well as their tanks, and just running for their lives. I mean, they wrecked the place, no doubt about it. But they're running towards the border.

Now, listen to this. The leader of the Chechnyan Republic, this Ramzan Khartiyov, this horrible person, but he has a fighting for a lethal fighting force. He was actually put into the fray by Vladimir Putin. He says his own fighters, he sent his own fighters to Ukraine. He says if there are not immediate charges in Russia's conduct of the invasion, he would have to contact the leadership of the country to explain to them the real situation on the ground.

So they're having fights amongst themselves. They're in control of the social media, this social media thing, Telegram, and they only put pro-Russian people on there, pro-war people on there. And they can't believe the ineptness in which they're witnessing. The pro-war bloggers, somewhere in bed with Russian troops near the front line, are amplifying the Kremlin's false message that Russia is fighting Nazis. They go ahead and say everything they're supposed to.

But when it comes to actually saying what's going on, they're also saying what they're supposed to, and that is that it's going terrible. That Ukraine has moved to Crimea following its annexation in 2014. They're starting to do some cruel. Activity there. There's got 2.3 million Telegram followers, and they're starting to be honest, saying that they're calling for the President Vladimir Putin to just go ahead and call a draft and call it a war.

But Putin knows that would be a disaster for the Kremlin if they had to do that because they just called it a special action. When we come back, I'll expand on this. Also, on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, possibly getting a Plea bargain. Can you believe that? As well as his other 9-11 hijackers.

That's nuts. 9-11, what the message was from Sunday, and what the reality is 21 years later in Afghanistan. From the Fox News Podcasts Network.

This is the Brian Kill Me Show. I know you have. Since leaving, your position shared that you advised President Biden not to draw down to zero, to leave a residual force of 2,500 troops in Afghanistan. It's the right as the commander-in-chief. To keep his own counsel and reject the advice of his military commanders.

If you felt so strongly, why didn't you resign? Once a civilian leadership makes a decision, even though I might disagree with that decision, it is my moral responsibility to execute that order. To resign is not in the history, it is not something that U.S. officers have typically done, and it sends a very bad signal. It is a political act by an officer who must need and must be and remain apolitical.

Well, number one, a lot of people would leave. And number two, I know he was Secretary of Defense at the time, but when the President of the United States, President Trump said, I'm pulling all the troops out of Syria. General Mattis said, You know what, you could take my position. I'm going to quit. And they basically, the president said, good, just give it to me now.

And he switched it out, and we had a new Secretary of Defense.

So, General Frank McKenzie tells the president, you can't leave now. If you leave all the troops in Lee Pod Gram Air Base, we don't know what's going to happen.

So, the president goes, I'm doing it anyway. And he kept his job. And McKenzie famously got the call from Bardour, who was running the Taliban. They got him out of prison. They negotiated with him at Doha.

They broke every axiom and every rule agreed upon in Doha. They're on the cusp of taking Kabul and said, You want me to take the capital? Because all the Afghan troops have left, including Gahani, has left. Or are you going to take the Capitol? And we, like idiots, said we're just going to keep the airport.

And now 9-11. Crystallizes all this. Let's bring in Congressman Michael Waltz. Congressman Waltz. Is it break with tradition for a general to say I'm leaving command if you pull out all the troops?

Is that something that you that you got says traditionally you just suck it up and do what the w what the president does, wants you to? Yeah, Brian, you know, I mean, 9-11 is always difficult and painful, but I have to tell you, this one. was especially painful, seeing the Taliban Caliphate now in place, which was the realization of Osama bin Laden's dream to have an extremist caliphate with all the powers of the government and army staffed with our equipment and Al Qaeda back in Afghanistan. Your point on General McKenzie, I can't tell you how many times he's testified before us. And he makes that point that, hey, resigning would have been a political act, and I have a responsibility once the President hears my advice to just carry it out.

Well, you know what? He also has a responsibility To the 13 soldiers that are no longer in Marines that are no longer with us in Kabul. He has a responsibility for the future Americans if we ever get hit again that will no longer be with their loved ones, if we have some kind of pulse nightclub or, God forbid, a 9/11. And he has a responsibility to the soldiers that are going to have to go back. to clean up this mess.

And if we go back to uh twenty eleven When Obama yanked us out of Iraq with no plan, which oh, by the way, who was in charge then was then General Lloyd Austin, now Secretary of Defense, with no plan. We have ISIS exploding on the scene, hundreds of thousands of dead across the region, attacks across Europe and the United States, and we now have more soldiers back there cleaning up that mess in Syria and Iraq. Than we had there back in twenty eleven.

So those are also a general's responsibility, and I think the ultimate responsibility is to the troops. And to the troops under his command. And I absolutely think he should have resigned. I don't understand these four stars. I don't understand these four stars that do a kind of a legacy tour After they've retired, to kind of clean up their legacy when they could have taken the stand when it mattered the most when they were in the job.

Absolutely. And by the way, maybe if you say to the president, hey, Mr. President, this is my advice, but I will tell you that if you don't go with the advice, I'm going to have to resign. I can't be a part of something that I know will be the biggest disaster in American history. I can't, in good conscience, do that.

Obviously, you don't have any faith in my ability to analyze the situation, even though I've been doing this for 50 years, so you deserve somebody else anyway. And just also to clarify the record, I'm sure you know, Vice President Biden was in charge of Iraq, and General Mattis was there, and he tried to convince Biden that pulling in 2011 all the troops out would be a huge mistake. Not only did we have a mute, we almost lost Baghdad, and we got ISIS, and then we had to fight our way back in, convince the Kurds to fight for us. And sadly, President Trump, to a degree, abandoned the Kurds in a way in which I never agreed with, nor did you, but he didn't totally. He kept a presence there, at least.

That's right. And when Matters didn't like it, he left as Secretary of Defense.

So I'm not buying this McKenzie apology tour nor the Mark Milley, I should stay in power tour. Yeah, well, but let's just take a brief run through history. The three areas of the world that Obama. gave to Biden, charge to Biden to focus on were Ukraine, Iraq and China. And let's see, let's look at how all three of those went with China marching across the South China Sea and militarizing East Asia, Ukraine getting invaded in 2014, and the explosion of ISIS in Iraq.

But yeah, Biden believes he's the smartest man in the room. He's been a politician since his late 20s, not a speck of dirt under his fingernails. And he ignored the military's advice in this case, Brian. And you know, if we do flip the house, When we flip the house, there will be accountability. There has not been a single official that has resigned, been fired, been relieved.

for this debacle that was worse than Saigon, because at least with Saigon, I don't think there was a reasonable expectation That terrorists were going to flow from Vietnam back into our homeland. But they're absolutely that is what is going to happen in my view and in the intelligence community's view as a result of this disaster. Going forward to Congressman Michael Waltz with us.

So I just wanted to hear this.

So, one thing I do agree with that McKenzie said is when the administration says, I point to Al-Zawahiri and over the horizon, attacks do work. They did one hit. In one year. Does not show me that Over the Horizon's effective. Here's McKenzie, cut 23.

I would be careful about drawing conclusions about our ability to operate effectively in Afghanistan in a counterterrorism sense based on that single operation. I think what's most concerning about the CIA strike that you mentioned was the fact that he was living in very good accommodations in downtown Kabul. And that should give us all pause and also speak directly to the ill intent of the Taliban in negotiating with us as we worked with the Doha Agreement, which was the attempt to find an end to the war in Afghanistan. I think it's a manifest example of their inability to keep their word.

Well, yeah, fundamentally.

So he's even saying stop bragging about being able to take out al-Qaeda. It's a bad sign that he was there. Yeah, that's right. And he wasn't there alone. His lieutenants are back.

The UN is saying 10,000 to 15,000 foreign fighters are flowing. Afghanistan has become the Disneyland, the mecca of global terrorism, right? Under the umbrella of the Taliban. Al-Qaeda is absolutely back. ISIS is growing.

They fully intend to hit us again, and they're developing the capability to do so. But at least when we had to go back to Iraq, Brian, you've heard me say this before, we had the Kurds to work with. Government in Baghdad. We had bases all over the region. We've got none of that in Afghanistan.

But McKenzie has testified to us when he was. before he retired, that hey, we can take care of it.

Now after he retired, he's telling us that we have two percent to three percent. of the intelligence visibility into Afghanistan than we had before we left. And that should scare every American, and there has to be accountability for this. Uh real quick, because I want to get to Ukraine. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Ramzi bin al Shib and others getting a plea deal in order to they just want to avoid the death penalty.

Should we be cutting deals with the hijackers and the and the mastermind of the hijacking? Yeah, look. It This administration, the Obama administration, they just want to wish terrorism away and they just want Guantanamo to go away. Right. Uh but the bad guys didn't get the notice.

that Biden had decided the war on terror was over. They didn't get that email or that memo. And we have to have somewhere to put these people. The only other place we had besides Glentonamo was Bagram Air Base. We saw what happened with that.

And I mean, this is just a stick your head in the sand strategy, try to reach a plea deal and make it all go away so that they can, I don't know, focus on the Green New Deal or whatever they want to focus on. But But the enemy gets a vote, and they're coming, Brian. No question, sadly. Ukraine, unbelievable news over the weekend. They're taking thousands of miles back, pushing the Russians across the border in Kharkiv.

So we also know they as I mentioned earlier, Vladimir Putin was at a dedication for a Ferris wheel. He fired his general after just 16 days. We know his akin to Secretary of Defense has been sidelined too. The Ukrainian Army Chief says that they're advancing in the south and east and now in the north. What is exactly going on, Congressman?

Yes.

Well, I think this combination of U. S. intelligence coupled with the long range missiles that the Ukrainians have been asking for since before the war. And we're the high Mars, right, that they're finally getting. And I think we should have given them what's called the ATACMs, which even has a longer range.

How much more effective could they be if they fully had everything they've been asking for? But look, this is great news. This is exactly what Zelensky and our meeting just a few months ago when I went over there was hoping for: to shift the momentum and shift the line so that Russia couldn't dig in this winter when they start turning off all of Europe's gas.

So that's fantastic. I'm very focused, Brian, on this Z Putin. Meeting that's coming up, the first since before the Olympics last year. But also this arms deal with North Korea that Putin has brewing. We'll get a briefing on that later this week.

And the nuclear plant that's still in the middle of the fighting in the south, Europe's largest and just a nightmare scenario there.

So this is great news, but we have a long way to go. Right. But for example, I hear in Kursan it's slow moving. They're paying a price. But if you have to go s you know, sew up the other areas of the battle of the battle lines, you might have to abandon, get some of that force strength and move it elsewhere.

And if you can start some guerrilla activity in Crimea and elsewhere, that will further dispirit and concern what's happening in Russia. You could get on the offensive by getting behind enemy lines because they're stealing children, sending them into Russia, hijacking families. I mean, these guys could not be more cruel. This is no time to say to yourself, okay, let's cut a deal. They still have a fifth of the country.

Yes, that's right. And they have some of the most productive from a manufacturing, mining and the ports along the Black Sea. And those are the areas that Putin wanted the most. And to your point, I don't think we have a real picture of how brutal The Russian occupation is going, but we have received a reporting of what they call a filtration. Process.

I mean, you know, obviously, the Russians don't do conventional land warfare very well, but they do secret police. extraordinarily and brutally well. And I'm just thrilled to see these areas get liberated from that brutality. But again, we have a long way to go. I'm watching China closely and watching this North Korea deal closely that could come to the rescue for Putin.

Uh lastly Uh have you gotten briefed yet? Uh being that your your place On armed services and elsewhere about what was in President what was that, Mar-a-Lago? We have not. That will go to the intelligence communities. I know they've requested that.

Uh and I mean if this were so dire. That it right, I mean, it was reaching to the level of a crisis point. At least that's what the Department of Justice wants us to believe, that they had to raid the home. then the big eight, that the leadership of the House and the Senate and the intelligence community should be briefed. And if it was military intelligence, then I would expect our committee to be briefed.

But we've had nothing zero zilch. Uh From this Department of Justice. It's just unreal. All right, Congressman Michael Walsh, the House Armed Services Committee over in Florida. Thanks so much, Congressman.

It was great to talk to you.

Okay, thanks, Brian. All right, 1866-408-7669. I'll finish this hour. We'll crash in some calls and also go over some other things that you need to know today as we watch the ceremony as the body of the Queen is being escorted by the King through Scotland.

Okay. Expanding your knowledge base. It's the Brian Kill Meat Show. Hey, it's Will Kane, co-host of Fox and Friends Weekend. Join me as I share my thoughts on a wide range of topics from sports and pop culture to politics and business.

The Will Kane Podcast. Subscribe and listen now at FoxNewsPodcasts.com. From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmead. It's just extraordinary the bank of internal knowledge that she had in her heart, in her mind, having spent time with this entire span of United States presidents and leaders from all over the world. She spent time with Mother Teresa.

She traveled to India, South Africa, Nelson Mandela. I mean, just embodied in this one person, she had this extraordinary wealth of experience, which is just phenomenal, starting with Winston Churchill and World War II all the way through to the present day.

So I don't, there's not a comparable human being who has that kind of wealth of experience. And I think that's why you see this as such a significant moment. I mean, if you try to think to yourself, you know, the next funeral, what would be the large event that would be even comparable to this? It really is difficult to think of anyone who would even come in as a number two. Right, except for Geraldo.

Geraldo's. Don't you think Geraldo would be number two? If he was only King Geraldo, maybe. But he does have a I loved it on Friday, but he's like, my one regret is I never actually met the Queen. Like, it was up to him.

It was up to him to invite her away. I was so busy. I'm sailing. I'm going to war. Queen keeps calling.

Um but one person, if you couldn't meet The queen and wanted to see somebody almost equally accomplished. And Geralda was on a boat without a shirt on. Where do you go?

Well, if you're Hillary Clinton, you go right to the Speaker's House. Cut 42. I think Nancy Pelosi is the gutsiest woman in politics right now because she has shown through all kinds of turmoil and challenge what it means to.

Somewhat like the queen, to be drawing an analogy here. Get up every day, put on those high heels she wears, suit up. To fight for the values and ideals that she strongly believes in. Unbelievable. But that's Hillary Clinton.

She's out now because she's promoting a terrible show on, I think, Hulu.

So she's out doing things and commenting. And of course, every time she talks, people want to pay attention because it's Hillary Clinton. And sometimes you just can't believe what you're hearing. But that's exactly what you get.

So the Queen right now, the ceremony's been great. It's been classy. I think the Andrew, Prince Andrew, now King. Prince Andrew. Prince Charles, now King Charles III.

I think he's been awesome. I think he's been right on the money. I think he's very natural. Obviously, he's been thinking about his entire life. I thought he was pretty amazing.

And I'll just paraphrase: Christine Annapur, the foreign correspondent with CNN, one of the few people still there. She obviously is way to the left and pretends to be an analyst. She's extremely smart. She's extremely biased. She says I really think at some point the king has got to address And apologize.

For oppression and offer reparations to the colonies, the once colonies of the Brits. Are you kidding me? Give money to people that weren't alive to things that happened 200 years ago, when in a lot of cases there were huge upsides to the occupation by the British. But you can't go back, as we've been saying over and over again, 200 years to people that have been long dead and buried and say, I'd like to apologize for people I never met either that lived in the country or held the position that I now have. Never gonna work.

Hey, go to BrianKilme.com. We had a great time with everyone who visited us in Albany. Went to our live show at the Egg. We're going to be in Brandon, Mississippi. As well as beautiful Tulsa, Oklahoma, on November 12th and 13th.

Just go to BrianKilme.com and order your tickets. And don't forget, December 2nd in Newark, New Jersey. Brian Kilmee Cho. From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmead.

Hi everyone, welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Killmeat Show coming to you from 48th and 6th of Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, heard around the world. A big hour coming your way as we continue to monitor what's happening over in England. As they finally, it's going to take about a week to bury the queen, and the king is getting used to his new job. Very touching moments, and it seems the whole world is watching. Michael Goodwin's going to be with us shortly.

The whole world will be listening to him. And Congressman Darrell Iso will be here.

So we have a lot to discuss.

So let's get to the big three.

Now with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. It's happening with lightning speed. Advancing Ukrainian troops in the northeast Kharkiv region are taking back lost territory. Despite casualties along the way, the gains have been rapid and dramatic.

Unbelievable, major gains by the Ukrainians. The only way you describe it, a remarkable offensive from them, while Russia is humiliated. They are changing their clothes out of their uniforms, dressing like civilians in order not to get killed. They're leaving Kharkiv. They're being pushed back in Khurasan and around that country.

They could be in Donbass soon. Vladimir Putin firing his field general. Panic time for the Ruskis. Number two. We have very, very limited ability to see into Afghanistan right now.

I've said I think we've got. Certainly, less than 2% or 3% of the intelligence capability that we had before we withdrew. Pretty cool that Frank McKenzie is trying to change his reputation because he was in charge of the army that fell apart and pulled out and allowed Afghanistan to fall to the Taliban in record time with Al-Qaeda now in Kabul. Isn't that great? 9-11, Afghanistan and the war on terror never ended, even though some are pretending it has and blaming other people, domestic terrorists, as the real threat.

I doubt it. Number one. What matters and what's going to matter here and with the Democrats who are so concerned about the threat to democracy, the most cynical, horrible thing I've seen is the money they're putting into Republican primaries to try to nominate Republicans who are election deniers. Chris Christie, 2022 never seems so close as the primary season is packing a punch in New Hampshire as Dems cynically try again to pick the candidate, the Republican, so extreme they believe will have the Will most likely lead to success for Senator Hassan in that very vulnerable Senate seat. We'll also look at the latest in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Let's bring in Michael Goodwin, New York Post columnist, Fox News contributor. Michael, welcome back. Good morning. Brian, thank you. First off, when it comes to 9-11, I thought it was really classy 21 years later.

I think people are really paying attention. I love the fact that at the jet game, full voice, the singer stopped and they let the whole stadium sing. Two years ago, we were talking about who's kneeling.

Now we're talking about who's not singing. These are positive things, at least for the people that we saw, did not forget. I agree with you, Brian. It really is touching to see those things and Uh my favorite of the post had a wonderful story on the on the babies, that the the babies who were born after their fathers were killed on the at the Trade Center. They're now twenty one years old.

And it's quite a thing to see that a whole generation has come upon us since then. And yet, as you point out, and as these incidents prove at the stadium, a lot of Americans have not forgotten and never will. They never will. But you know, people are forgetting who the real threat is. As our border is wide open and people on the terror watch list have been found, people think that right-wing extremists are the biggest threat here.

We're sleepwalking through the threat that still exists. Al-Qaeda's back in Afghanistan.

Well, and it's interesting in a way, Brian, because you could say that In fact, over the 20 years when we were in Afghanistan and we were on watch at home and abroad, around the world, for any signs of this budding up again, we succeeded. I mean, the fact that there has not been the kind of major terrorist attack in America, yes, there have been a lot of individuals, small groups. But you haven't seen the big mass casualty attack that so many of us feared would become fairly routine. After 9-11. I mean, that one seemed fairly easy when we knew the details of it.

And yet, and I know myself, and I think many other journalists felt it's going to happen again. I once said that to Ray Kelly, then the police commissioner. I said, Doesn't it feel inevitable to you? We've gone through a stretch of a number of foiled plots. And he said, I don't feel that way at all.

It's my job to make sure it doesn't happen. And we're up all the time. And I really felt almost embarrassed that how. How stalwart a lot of the law enforcement and defense people were about this. And it didn't happen again.

And so now, when we take our foot off the gas, when we withdraw completely from Afghanistan, when we lose the eyes and ears On that part of the world. You can send in a drone to kill somebody from far off, but you can't necessarily hear what they're saying on the phone, or you don't get any human intelligence on the ground. And so I think we are now in a heightened danger of this kind of radical Islamists once again, as we saw that al-Qaeda with Zawahiri was back in Afghanistan. I mean, that's how it all started. That's where 9-11 was hatched in Afghanistan by al-Qaeda, and they're back again.

So, General McKenzie is trying to rewrite history. Maybe he's telling the truth, but he did not say half of what he said now that he's retired. Listen to what he said to Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation Cut 20. I know you have Since leaving, your position shared that you advised President Biden not to draw down to zero, to leave a residual force of 2,500 troops in Afghanistan. It's the right of the commander-in-chief to keep his own counsel and reject the advice of his military commanders.

If you felt so strongly, why didn't you resign? Once a civilian leadership makes a decision, even though I might disagree with that decision, it is my moral responsibility to execute that order. To resign is not and is not in the history, it is not something that U.S. officers have typically done, and it sends a very bad signal. It is a political act by an officer who must need and must be and remain apolitical.

I'm not pretending that's an easy decision, but if you tell the president you're that emphatic that this decision is so wrong that I will resign, maybe that president changes his mind. I don't know, Brian. I think the answer he gave I tend to believe that's the right one for the military. I think it's different if you're the Secretary of State or something like that. But I think if you're in the military, you follow the civilian leadership.

You may not agree, but look, nobody can be 100% certain. And so you do. I mean, that's the way our system works. If we had people resigning every time they disagree with the commander-in-chief. Knowing that you are pulling out of a country that's about to be overrun, even though you're telling the president that's not going to happen, you know differently.

Mr. President, if we leave Bargram Air Base, this whole country could fall.

Okay. It's all right. I'm going to leave it. If you let I can't let you let I think General Miller left because of that reason. When it became clear that we were going to leave that country, and even though there's NATO forces weren't even informed, he basically quit.

Well, look, I mean, and I think that will happen from time to time. But I think the import of Margaret Brennan's question was when you disagree, why don't you resign? I mean, I think I think his answer was A good general answer to most situations.

Now, there will always be exceptions, there will always be individuals who believe it's a bridge too far. But I thought his answer is the right one for the military because I think the alternative is you get this, where does it end? In other words, what how do you draw the line about an issue that's important enough to resign over for I mean, this whole thing with the woke military. You haven't had anybody resign over that, but I think there is a general sense among many of the leadership, you're weakening the military with this woke nonsense.

So I think that's a it's always a tough call for an individual on the line to resign and protest. Generally, you don't achieve anything. Generally, you wash your hands, you walk away. But it it tends to be, I think, demoralizing for the remainers. and particularly in the military, it's a it's a different code.

Kamala Harris was out and about, and she was asked to defend some of the things that President Biden has said about semi-fascists and ultra-maga. Here's what she said, cut to. Joe Biden has spent his entire career, it is on for all to see, working across the aisle. His whole career, sometimes he's been criticized for believing in bipartisanship, for believing in compromise, for believing in working across the aisle, finding common ground. His whole career has been that.

There are moments in time when we have to also agree, all good people who care about our country, that there are those who right now are vividly not defending our democracy. I think we want that our commander-in-chief of the President of the United States will speak up and raise the alarm about what this means to our strength and our future, much less our integrity. Do you feel as though the Vice President made her made sense? I do. I mean, I feel from a partisan perspective, that's the most coherent she's been in some time.

I mean, there's some very funny things on Twitter of her word salad statements over different issues. But look, obviously, the diff the issue here is the detail. When he says defending our democracy, the way it came across in Philadelphia, the way it comes across when he says it virtually every time, is anybody who disagrees with the Democrats is a threat to the democracy. And this is being used not for the good of the country, but for the good of the Democratic Party in the midterm elections. And I think that's the sinister and cynical nature of this.

And of course, Harris is going to defend it. That's her job too. But it just strikes me as a really serious misreading of the public. And I think it's going to sow ever more Seeds of discontent and of disunion when you talk about people that, if they don't agree with you, if they say something you don't like, call they are a threat to democracy. Semi-fascist.

Right. So she had to go defend that in terms of let's see how that resonates. What she had to say is defend semi-fascist and ultra-maga and also say Joe Biden spent his whole career as a unifier. That's a tough sell, while at the same time, the Democratic super PACs are putting millions of dollars into those so-called ultra-maga candidates to make sure they get the nominations. I'm not sure those two worlds can exist together.

The other problem, I think, the biggest one outside crime is the border. Kamala Harris is in charge of the border. She's been an abysmal failure, absent on the job. Here's her answering this question: some very easy questions from Chuck Todd, Cut 35. Would you call the border secure?

The border is secure. But we also have a broken immigration system, in particular over the last four years before we came in, and it needs to be fixed. We're going to have two million people cross this border for the first time ever. You're confident this border's secure? We have A secure border.

In that, that is a priority for any nation, including ours, in our administration. But there are still a lot of problems that we are trying to fix, given the deterioration that happened over the last four years. They keep saying over the last four years the border was never more secure as it was over the last four years. And I don't know why is she even using that? Do you feel as though she could say with a straight face the border's secure?

Right, right. That's the Kamala Harris we've come to ridicule so often. And it's to me, I mean, this is Chuck Todd. At his lick spittle best, which is never to confront her with the facts, never to really say, How can you say that? How can you say it's secure when more people have come than ever before?

How can you say it's secure when you have people coming from all over the world through the southern border? People are coming from around the world to come into the United States through Mexico. I mean, think of all of that. And he so he doesn't raise those things that would be contrary to her claim. I mean, that's just bad, bad reporting.

But with him, it's You know, par for the course. All right. We'll see what's going on. We'll continue to watch the Queen and King coverage while at the same time seeing a sprint towards the midterm elections. We're now 60 days in, as well as watch what's happening with the special master and Donald Trump.

Michael Goodwin, always great. Thanks so much. My pleasure, Brian. Thank you. You can follow him at M Goodwin underscore NYPost.

When we come back, we'll take your calls: 1-866-408-7669. Then, in studio, Congressman Darrell Isa, California. Don't move. Brian, Kilmeetcho. Coming to you on a need-to-know basis because Mandy, you need to know.

It's Brian Kilmead. A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Four quick points. One, tactically, this is really hurting the Russians, but also it's the loss of manpower, the loss of morale as they watch this unfold, the Russian troops.

Operationally, what the Ukrainians have showed us is they can conduct a complex dual front, if you will, offensive set of operations using combined arms very effectively. Thirdly, strategically, think how this is playing today in Beijing, where they're in preparations for the big meeting with G and Putin and how this is being portrayed there. They're going to try and make it look better than it is. And then fourth and finally, and I think most obviously, huge psychological uplift for the Ukrainians. Look at that flag flying.

Look at the faces of those people. As one would say about war, the morale is to material, the equipment as three is to one. This is a pretty good moment for the Ukrainians. Yeah, that was Admiral James Travidis, and this is a major offensive between 1,000 and 3,000 miles gained over the last three or four days. And there's no sign the Russians are looking to make a stand.

They're not making as much progress in Kherson, but they made tremendous progress in Kharkiv and elsewhere. And if they got to take some forces out of Kherson to help the other areas, that'll allow them to move through that region.

So maybe they could start doing some guerrilla warfare in the Donbass area in Crimea and start rattling to their core. We also know that Vladimir Putin goes to a Ferris wheel opening at a time in which his army's falling apart. Alex, listening on WABC. Hey, Alex. Hey, good morning, Brian.

Thanks for taking the quality. By the way, this general you're just talking about, I think it's General McKinsey. Why didn't he ask President Biden why President Biden didn't want to secure Bagram Airbase? Up until now, I didn't hear a reason for that yet. And so resigning wouldn't be just a political move.

It wouldn't even be like General McKinsey was resigning because he had a different opinion than the President. Resigning would be because it was a completely irresponsible move not to secure Bagram air base. And there was no reason behind it.

So it was absolutely careless. If the President couldn't tell this general why he doesn't want to secure Bagramir base, then he's just completely careless. And he should have resigned to show protest. And if there would have been a certain amount of protest coming from the military in this country, from people at the level of the country. Alex, yeah.

I mean, you brought up a good point because when McKenzie resigns, that's a huge move. Why is it that the man in charge of Afghanistan is leaving because he knows how bad this move is? It might sober up the president to realize: my goodness, if this guy who's not against me sees my decision so bad he'll quit, maybe I should rethink it. And maybe 13 more people are alive, and 25 wouldn't be in the hospital. A radio show like no other.

It's Brian Killmead. Would you call the border secure? The border is secure. But we also have a broken immigration system, in particular over the last four years before we came in. And it needs to be fixed.

We're gonna have two million people cross this border for the first time ever. You're confident this border's secure? We have A secure border. in that that is a priority for any nation, including ours in our administration. But there are still a lot of problems that we are trying to fix, given the deterioration that happened over the last four years.

I cannot believe she's even saying that, considering that almost any official, Border Patrol, or anybody Homeland Security, not politically compromised, would tell you the last four years they had gotten hold of the border in a very prolific way, and it would be one of the best things they could have done is just leave it alone. Instead, they broke it. With me right now is Congressman Darrell Issa. Of course, you have 88 miles of the border, your district. Exactly.

And we also have 147,000 pounds of fentanyl and meth from the last year's seizures alone sitting in our lockup for prosecution. And if you get that much, it means there's so much coming through they can afford to even lose that. Trevor Burrus, Jr.: It's probably 5% of what went over that part of the border. But it's enough fentanyl to kill everyone in the state of California, just what's in that lockup. How could she say that?

She knows different. She was a senator from your state.

Well she was also the Attorney General, but she's also a pathological liar on behalf of the Administration. And I don't use the word lie easily. This is something where down is up, up is down. They're perfectly willing to say the border is secure when it isn't. They're willing to say that we need immigration reform.

What they really want is they really want wholesale amnesty for everyone that's already here. They want to take what happened in the Obama administration, Obama Biden administration, which included Normalizing, if you will, people that were here illegally, and they want to make them citizens. That's their program to increase the Democrat Party. It's a brilliant program. The problem is it's not good for Americans.

It's not good for inner city minorities. It's not good for minorities, including Hispanics who are already here, who are looking for jobs and the opportunity to move up. Uncontrolled border is a problem for the very people they say they represent. Where are they getting off saying it was a broken system, was abused by the previous four years? It wasn't smooth.

The president went through a few Homeland Security directors. He was down at the border. No one wanted to build his wall. He found a way to repurpose money to do it, built 435 miles of it. Very interesting that her tactic is just to say it was broken when I got it.

The last time we made any major, any legal change to our immigration policy was during the Clinton administration, and before that it was the Reagan administration. There's no question at all. There are things we need to do. The problem is they're not the things they want to do. What we need to do is have a guest worker program that works.

What we need to do is make it easier and quicker if you are coming here legally to get through the process. And oh, by the way, we have to do what You know, Trump did for the first time in a generation, which is make it hard to come here illegally. Right now, coming illegally makes sense. When I have people from Afghanistan or Ukraine who are having trouble getting in here legally, I have to tell them if they fly to Mexico, show up at the border, they will get paroled, and then we can work while they're in the United States. I have to tell them, in a sense, to circumvent the law because it's a lot faster and easier.

Trevor Burrus, Jr.: Well, then you could also get a bus to Chicago or to New York or Washington, D.C. Because if you get through Texas, then of course there's a chance to do that because this Governor Abbott is absolutely fed up. This is a Texas problem being ignored. I am watching city fighting city, state fighting state, because the federal government won't even acknowledge that there's a problem here. Have you ever in your life seen this?

Texas fighting with New York, Texas fighting with the mayor of Chicago and the governor of Chicago, all because he's trying to convince them that this is not. Just a border problem, a border city-state problem? What started as something we thought was sarcastic by Governor Abbott turns out to expose the hypocrisy of the so-called sanctuary city, sanctuary states. I'm in a sanctuary state, but they don't want this unless they get federal money. Washington, D.C., the ultimate sanctuary city, is furious because if they don't get money from the federal government, they might have to take their billions of dollars of surplus they presently have and use it on some of these people.

Well, they don't want to do that. But that's what you're going to have to do. We have. Two million plus people who have been paroled into this country, and yet we don't have enough people to farm, we don't have enough people to work in a lot of areas. One of the reasons is they're not coming in as part of an immigration process where we're assigning them to meaningful work, or even for that matter.

encouraging them. If we had those 2 million people coming in in a guest worker program, we would have filled all of our shortcomings, particularly in agriculture. But that's not what we're doing. These people are coming in and, quite frankly, going into the social safety net. In some cases, they don't even know what they want to do because they simply knew that it was time to come to America.

I mean, they come in, we pay for their hotel rooms at a five-star hotel. That's what New York chooses to do. Then we put them in school systems where they don't speak the language, so they need special services. And they go over there on New York City tax dollars, Chicago tax dollars, and they're going to get involved in our school system where they're going to get a free phone. They're going to probably get closed and they get a place to stay.

That is not the situation. This is not what that situation can actually sustain. And now, in New York, do you why people leave New York is because of this reason. They're paying all this money in taxes for services they're not getting. I want you to hear what Mayor Lightfoot says.

Tell me if you think this is accurate. Cut 36. You don't treat people with this lack of respect, lack of dignity, putting them on buses to an unknown destination with very little food, very little water. They have very little that they need when they're on these multiple hour cross-country bus trips. They sign up l By their own volition, witnessed by New York delegation was sent down there.

Nobody's forced to do anything to go into an air conditioned bus and to go into a a city like Chicago.

So this is what that's an interesting thing. But Brian, if they told him the truth, who would really want to go to Chicago? Absolutely. It's crazy. I mean, it's a nut.

It's a nut house. It is the misinformation that they're coming to a place where they have no greater opportunity in most cases. But remember, what she's really saying is you should do it like the administration. They give them food tickets and they put them on an airplane to the place they say they want to go. Without telling the governors or the mayors, even if it's a Democratic state.

Absolutely. But remember, the absorption of 2 million people and counting, and it will be 4 million, 6 million, 8 million. Is a cumulative problem that the cities are just beginning to see, and it's a problem of nothing wrong with the people, for the most part, good people coming here. But right now, Brian, as we speak, I still have people who helped us in the war in Afghanistan that are still sitting in Qatar and other places trying to get here. I have people sitting in Poland who are displaced, who have family and connections here, that are hoping to come here while the war wages on and can't get here.

Why? Because our system of coming in through the front door is broken, but coming in the back door through Tijuana is completely open. Right. I remember when I was in California working at XTRAO Sports Radio. People used to go to Tijuana all the time.

Hey, I'm just going to go over there and just have a good time until you want to come back. I think people think twice about doing that now, correct? Because of the drug cartels taking over Mexico, because of the uncontrolled fentanyl passing through there, it has become more and more dangerous. It is killing the ability to have tourism in Mexico. And quite frankly, it's going to kill Mexico as an independent country because the cartels have enough money to buy off the government down there, and it's money because we're not controlling the flow of fentanyl into the U.S.

pressuring the Mexican government to put their 20,000 Marines on their southern border, letting everybody know this is not the time to come, and there'll be a situation where there will be a system that makes it somewhat easier to get Ecuadorians, Honduras, Venezuelans in here.

Okay, there'll be a system. I tell you, I had interviewed, I've talked to so many people. I don't walk into a business without asking how it's going. And they say, we want these workers. No restaurant I know has said, I have enough help.

They want the workers. Most people, they want to work, but they're afraid to hire them because they don't want to get nailed for doing, and they also patriotically don't want to do it either. And there's no system to do it. They want to fill out the paperwork and be able to pay them above board. Listen, real quick.

And because when we come back, I want to talk about the Ukrainian war, how it's changed in some of the Ukrainian refugees you need to get out. Why is the Hispanic vote? Going to Republicans at a time at a rate in which I didn't think I would see. unless there was an all-out offensive at your part to get him. What what's going on here?

What's happening is an entire group is realizing, as President Trump said. How's that working out for you, voting lockstep Democrat? They finally realized that this was not in their best interest, that the Democrat Party does not support their values, but it also doesn't support their best interest. Under the last administration, employment in their community went up. Opportunity went up.

The border being controlled meant that they had an opportunity, the ones that were already here, to move up in the chain and to prosper. All of that disappeared practically the day President Biden was sworn in. Trevor Burrus, Jr.: Which is interesting because the Hispanic vote does go to the Republicans precipitously. If you want to see a Democrat crack down on illegal immigration, let them know that they're not going to be your voters when they're eligible to vote. Sadly, that might be the reality that gets their reality real.

There's never been a question. My grandfather was a die-in-the-world Democrat because he came in that era. By the time my father got home from World War II, he was a real believer in Eisenhower and a real believer in the Republican Party. That's a maturity that's happening to this large immigrant community that has now come of age. And by the way, Hispanics have more aspiration to start small businesses than the population as a whole.

Small business is the backbone of the Republican Party. And yourself made a business success story before you got into politics and also served in the military.

So you're an expert in a lot of areas. Congressman Darrell Eisen, we come back. The major progress suddenly been made by the Ukrainians, the impatience some Americans are having right now by writing big checks to Ukraine when it could be used here, your take on that and so much more. You listen to the Brian Kilmeet Show. Want even more Brian?

It's important over the next three months to do things like this, to gain some momentum, because the feeling is this will help lock in European support. They're very worried as the Europeans go through a dark winter, the winter of our discontent, as he described it, that short of seeing military progress on the ground, they might become much more wobbly in their support of Ukraine.

So a lot of this is not just about military advance, it's about shoring up Western support for Ukraine, getting them through a very difficult winter where Mr. Putin's going to turn off the taps. That is Richard Haas, foreign policy guy on MSNBC. With me right now is Congressman Darrell Issa, all over trying to get refugees out of Afghanistan while the government was failing or not being interested. He was doing that.

Just got back from Taiwan. But a military person like you, we're in kind of a unique situation. Ukrainians are fighting. They do need to win for all of Western Europe. It's not propaganda.

This change in momentum. What do you take away from it? We've gotten they've gotten between one thousand and three thousand miles back of territory from the Russians who are leaving their tanks and military gear and some uniforms and running. You know, before they went into Ukraine, we used to think that Russia probably was the second best military in the world. We now know they're the second best in Ukraine.

Because you have a motivated people, they are reasonably well trained, but they are extremely motivated. And now they've been backed first by old Russian equipment, but now by U.S. and Western NATO equipment, and it's making a difference. But it's tactics and it's motivation that is causing it. And now that they're winning, the momentum is on their side.

Now that they're relieving people that have been under siege, it's on their side. The one thing, Brian, that we need to be aware of, though, is that we have used up a massive percentage of the available Western weapons, harpoons, stingers, you name the type of weapon. We are short all of them. As I mentioned, I just came back from Taiwan, where they have billions and billions of dollars that they pay for of American equipment that they have on order that's on back order. And one of the challenges is we've got to send it to Ukraine because they need it today.

We've got to send it to Taiwan to create, if you will, the deterrent from China going in, and we're not producing enough. Why is that? Congressman, we can make this stuff. It's sales, it's money, and we have to replenish our own coffers. What's the holdup?

We can make it. One of the problems with the defense system is it's used to getting orders years in advance, scheduled, and when you tell them that you need to surge, they're very bad at it. And we've got to get better at it. We've got to find a way to, and some of it may cost us money, but all of it has to be done. Because if we actually went to a major war, let's just assume that we were in a conflict directly with one of these other superpowers.

We do not have the ability to surge within NATO right now, and we need to have it. Afghanistan. We fought over 20 years. We scheduled over 20 years the equipment. And as time went on, we needed less and less of it.

So some of it is the kind of equipment that you think of as capital equipment, the Humvee, so to speak. But a lot of it's simply ammunition, particularly advanced, smart bombs, smart rockets, smart missiles.

So that's one of our biggest challenges is, and you mentioned the money before we went on break. If we are not willing to provide the means to the Ukrainians to save their country, then clearly we are going to have to spend far more to prepare to defend our own country. How about this, Congressman? You know Georgia goes next. If Ukraine won quickly, Georgia would be gone by now.

Moldova would be next. And then they're going to start pressuring the Baltic nations saying, hey, do you want an invasion? Start changing your leaders. I'm going to start putting my candidates. I'm going to start infiltrating their land.

And there are going to be five Baltic nations saying, for my own survival, I'm going to have to give in to Russian influence. But if you stop them here, then there's an excellent chance they're going to have to change leadership. They're going to have to think internally and then realize they're not that fighting force they were billed as. And then Georgia starts realizing they can fight back. And Poland and others.

To me, this matters so much in the Ukraine. I think people are missing that on the Republican side, too. Absolutely. And, you know, it's so easy to forget about how we got here. For 60 years, we spent a lot of money and a lot of troops in Europe standing up against the Soviet Union to where we finally A bankrupted them and B liberated all these countries right now that are back in peril.

It's a domino effect, though. It can go the opposite way. And if it goes the opposite way, it has an effect on us where we're back into a Cold war against a superpower. The reality is, Ronald Reagan called Russia, Soviet Union, an evil empire. John McCain was able to call them a gas station impersonating a country.

The difference was the size of their economy. If we can keep them from getting their economy the size of Italy, With satellites like Poland, like Ukraine, if we can keep them from getting back there, yes, they're a nuisance, but they're not a superpower. That should be our goal. Look, Sweden, Finland, Poland, these countries have money.

So let them buy our equipment. We'll provide the training. They'll pay for the training and they will be the fortress. We don't have to be there, correct? Absolutely.

Just in the last year, because of this, the NATO members' increase in orders represents tens of billions of dollars of additional U.S. sales that, quite frankly, will be profitable to the United States, but it also means we're not spending that on defense. They are. That's why it's important to arm Taiwan, too, and that's why you went. Taiwan is a cash paying every cent they pay out of their own budget.

We need to support them. No downside. And like the Ukrainians, their willingness to fight because they know the alternative is they know what freedom is. Exactly. Thanks, Congressman.

From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. Thanks so much for being here, everybody. It's the Brian Kilmeat Show coming to you from 48th and 6th in mid-Down Manhattan, heard around the country, around the world. Where we got the pleasure of having Brett Baer on the bottom of the hour, kind of set the table with 60 days left to the midterm election.

It is a sprint, and Governor Kristen Sununu is standing by. They have a primary on Tuesday.

So let's get to the big three.

Now with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. It's happening with lightning speed. Advancing Ukrainian troops in the northeast Kharkiv region are taking back lost territory. Despite casualties along the way, the gains have been rapid and dramatic.

And that's reporting on the ground in Ukraine, making major gains. That's the only way you describe with the remarkable offensive from the Ukrainians, forcing Russia to run for the hills in Kharkiv and maybe in Kherson. Vladimir Putin seems to be losing it. He was at a christening for a new Ferris wheel. No joke.

Number two. We have very, very limited ability to see into Afghanistan right now. I said I think we've got. Certainly, less than 2% or 3% of the intelligence capability that we had before we withdrew. No kidding, Frank McKenzie laying it on the line, the general who was in charge of the evacuation, which was such a disaster.

9-11, Afghanistan, and the war on terror that never ended, even though we pretend it has differing views about threats America should face and is facing.

Some say it's on the from Islamic extremists, others think it's Republicans. Number one. What matters and what's going to matter here and what the Democrats who are so concerned about the threat to democracy, the most cynical, horrible thing I've seen is the money they're putting into Republican primaries to try to nominate Republicans who are election deniers. That is Chris Christie, and he's 100% right. 2022 never seemed so close.

As the last primary is packing a punch in New Hampshire, and Demsk cynically tried again to pick the Republican to face Senator Hassan, who they think is the easiest to beat.

So, is that where you want your millions of dollars? Is that why you donated?

Now, it turns out it's General Don Buldeck, and he is against Chuck Morse. And Chuck Morse is the pick of Governor Sununu.

Now, Morse is the favorite candidate of the Republican establishment, too, and receiving over $4.5 million in reinforcement from McConnell-aligned super PAC.

So, that's supposedly keep him in. I guess contention. But if you look at the real care average, it's Bullduck by a substantial amount. He boasts conservative grassroots support. He's got, it seems as though not a blatant endorsement, but President Trump hasn't endorsed officially, but says he's a tough guy.

He praised him as a strong guy and a tough guy. Senator Hassan, unbelievably vulnerable. Governor Sununu would walk right through. He'd be up by 15 points right now. She is acting like a Republican.

She says, I'll stand up to President Biden's administration. Really? I'm going to secure the border. Really? I'm listening to frontline personnel.

I'm against the student loan forgiveness.

So Hassan will say anything to keep her job, including do something she hasn't even voted for. It looks like the governor endorsed Morris on Thursday, saying this: the stakes are very high in this election, they are very high. Former President Trump, not officially endorsed, but you know where he stands. Bulldock came out and said some things about Governor Sununu, stating essentially that they believe he was under the influence of. Communist China, which I did not know was even possible for Governor Stanudu to possibly do, especially with his family, his roots, his knowledge of foreign policy.

I think he might be the last one to do it. He also says he's fanning conspiracy theories in 2020 that Bill Gates was using COVID-19 vaccine to implant chips in Americans. I want to see if General Boulder could actually say that. That's what they're putting out there. But millions of Democratic dollars are now put into his campaign.

Here is more from Chris Christie, uh, cut three. The Democrats think that it's a winning argument. for them in the midterms. to do what the president did during that speech and attack personally attack. The people who have supported Donald Trump, 74 million of them who voted for him in 2020, as a politician, I say, great, go get him.

Go get him, Mr. President. Because what people don't like Donan politics, and you know this, is people who govern against brand. He ran to be a uniter. He ran and said he was going to bring the country back together, and then he stood on that stage with a blatantly red background, surrounded by Marines, and attacked 74 million people.

If you watch this, you're not a NATO Republican. Did you feel attacked? I did. Because I voted for Donald Trump in 2020. Governor Chris Christie, spelling out, I mean, exactly what I thought, too.

When you say MAGA Republicans, people aren't embarrassed by Donald Trump's policies. They may disagree with him personally, some of the tweets the way he took his election January 6th and whatever, the rally had. But when you look at his policies, strong on defense, build up your strong defense, but try to get in as few conflicts as possible, the trade deals that happen, building up on the border, not many Republicans had a problem with it. With me right now is Governor Chris Sununu, who continues to be a rising star on the Republican side. Governor, welcome.

I know you're busy today. Busy every day. We've got a big primary tomorrow.

So, as you know, in New Hampshire, when politics starts bubbling, it gets pretty exciting here. But we're doing well. There's no doubt we're crushing it here. But we just got to kind of sort out our primaries and drive to big wins in November, you know? I know this.

I know that there's a lot of the Pennsylvania establishment were disappointed in Mastriano getting the nomination. In Maryland, I know Governor Hogan says I'm not even going to support the Republican nominee there that's going to replace him because he's term limited out. And I know you're firmly for Morse and not for Bullduck. But according to the polls, Governor, it looks like he's trailing significantly.

Well, uh the polls haven't been done in the last couple of weeks, so I think it's I think it's a very close race. Everybody decides what they're doing kind of in the last couple weeks. And I think it's interesting we haven't had a poll in the last like 10 days or so.

So why is it towards cities? I don't know. I really don't know. I mean, back in 2016, when I had a four-way primary, there are polls like every week coming out.

So I can't tell you why the polls aren't more fast and furious, but I think everything's kind of in our first congressional, our second congressional district, and our Senate race are all up for grab.

So it'll be pretty exciting. One thing I can tell you, though, no matter who wins after that election, we are unified. And in New Hampshire, I can't speak for other states. New Hampshire, we're unified as a party. You cannot win.

And give kind of confidence to those independents. If you're coming out as a broken party, if you're coming out as extremists versus moderates for everything, to your point, we all want regulatory reform. We all want tax cuts. We all want somebody to get in there and put some band-aids on this inflation crisis that Biden has caused. These are the things that galvanize independents and Republicans together.

That's what we're going to win on in November. But, Governor, that's why I find it so odd. And you're so much more experienced in politics than I am. You grew up in it and with your dad and your brother. But when he was saying ultra-magnet, MAGA, I'm saying, does he understand what the acronym means?

Make America great again and the policies that surround it, not just sayings, but what they did for four years.

So if he wants to say, I want a weaker border, I want higher taxes, I want more foreign wars. I'm just, I'm saying to myself, what's going on here? What is your take on it? What about that strategy? I don't think there is a strategy, Brian.

Look, this guy just got up and read a speech that some 25-year-old socialist Turk out of the White House rode for him. I don't think there's any Biden strategy. I don't think he's driving the message. I don't think he's driving some sort of Democrat strategy here. They told him: look, you are now the political head.

And you're going to drive political points and put that ahead of being the leader of the United States of America and bringing folks together. And if you look at exactly what he said in that speech with those red lights and I don't know, it was like Faustian. I don't know what was going on. Hey, set design alone, the White House is failing. Let's just all accept that.

But then you look at what he was saying: that this ultra MAGA stuff is violent and da-da-da-da-da. And then we're just going to ignore all the riots, the woke riots of 2020, burning of the cities because we don't agree politically, burning of the cities because there's injustice, and all the violence and the anti-police and public safety rhetoric that was coming out of the Democrat Party. We're just going to ignore all that, right? He's not driving the boat here, man. I don't know who is.

I have some suspicions. I think we all do. But he's just getting up there and reading the speech that they told him to read.

So that's why I say all the time: I'll throw Biden exactly where he belongs under that bus because he's created the problem without a doubt. But let's not forget this is a Democrat. Democrat Party problem. Don't just pin it on one guy. The Democrats.

And he wants to make it a Trump problem. And he wants people to put Trump on the ballot there. And that's 2024.

So General Bulldock has raised $527,000 for the entire race up until the end of August. Do you know this Democratic super PAC put in $3.2 million to attack more somebody that you are backing?

So what is your take on that? I know in the past they say that General Bulldock says that you have been bought and sold by China. Uh and I did not know that. Uh bought and sold by China. And that I guess that you're not a Trump fan, even though he doesn't officially have the Trump endorsement.

Could you get behind General Balduck? Would you talk to him if he gets the nomination? Oh, yeah. Look, I'm going to get behind whoever wins. That's one of the biggest responsibilities I hold as leading the party in New Hampshire.

Do we agree on everything? No, not everything. Do we have personal differences at time? Yes, absolutely. But that doesn't mean we're going to throw a broken party into the mix to let Democrats drive first and potentially be the fifty-first vote that Joe Biden needs.

We are not going to let that happen here in New Hampshire. You know, the Trump story, I talked to our former President Trump about a week ago. We had a great conversation, a fantastic conversation. I was trying to encourage him to actually get involved in the race. It doesn't look like he's going to do it, but that's okay.

But we had a fantastic conversation.

So, look, we can have our differences here and there. We can have different styles, different approaches. But folks across this country have to remember that if you let your party be divided within your state, within your congressional district, whatever it might be, you let those personal things and look, primaries get chippy. We all know primaries can get a little chippy, but you have to put that ego aside. You got to stand above it and say, we have a responsibility to the citizens we represent, and that is bringing a win home for the Republican Party.

And that only happens when we give confidence to independents, we look solidified, and we talk about those kitchen table issues that drive people to the polls and say, yes, there's going to be a change, not just talk, but an actual change.

Someone's going to help us bring inflation down, bring these prices down, bring electricity rates down, whatever it is. You don't vote for someone just because they talk nice. Vote for someone that actually can get results and bring something home to the citizens they represent.

So here's what the Republicans evidently do. The GOP Senate Leadership Fund reserved $23 million in ads against Hassan for the general election. But if Balduk wins the nomination, there's a sense they might cancel it. What could you tell me what would you recommend that Leadership Fund do? Would you ch Would you, you know, because you want Morse, right?

Correct? You want Morse. Yes, look, you wait one week, you will see the polls with Bullduck within striking distance or even ahead of Senator Hassan. Senator Hassen has spent thirty five million dollars in the past year, and her approval number has gone from forty two percent to forty two percent. I don't care if they spend $100 million on the Democrat side.

The citizens of New Hampshire want her out.

Now, we're going to need some help from Washington in raising money. We have a very short general election. We always do. But we have a candidate, no matter who comes out of this primary, we're going to have a candidate that is within striking distance or maybe even ahead. And so it's just a matter of looking at the polls, looking at the reality, and knowing that we are very close to.

If not pushing it over the line, I feel confident the money's going to be there, the support is going to be there, the national emphasis that we need to send Senator Hassan packing. That's exactly what's going to happen. Governor, you would be up by about 20 points right now, head-to-head for that. And you probably wouldn't have any primary opponent. Have you rethought that at all?

Was that a tough decision for you? No. I mean it really Okay, okay. Yeah. Yeah, I think.

Okay. Yeah, I think the phone might have dropped. There you go. Go ahead, try that again, Governor. I kind of missed the beginning.

Have any Title Nine rules that they want to pass. All of these things, you need someone playing decent with an administration like this and governors have a lot of uh ability to do that. Remember, states come first, right? And I have to constantly remind Washington, we created you, right? The states created you, and you're beholden to the state, just like anything else here.

We defer to the locals. We defer it now to the city to make their own decisions. The most we possibly can. Yeah, Governor, I think we're losing you a little bit, but as we try to get you into a better area, real quick about you personally, when people start talking about you as successful governor, you're extremely popular. You're extremely popular right now.

At what point will you think about when you're going to run for president? I don't know. All right. We're going to try to get him back. We've got a couple of minutes left in this segment, so we'll try to get him back.

Meanwhile, there's other big races. Ed Randell joined me on One Nation yesterday, excuse me, on Saturday. And we talked about where this country is heading and how divided the country is. And my theory is: if you want to really be the Uniter-in-Chief, I know you can't be that on every issue, especially during elections. But what my point is when it comes to challenging elections.

Um when it comes to challenging elections Both sides have been doing it. It is unhealthy for the country. If you point out both sides are doing it, let's start fresh in 2022. That to me is leadership. Governor, we got you again?

Hey, we got you, sir. I was on a rambling, I was on a great rant there promoting my state. I have no doubt China got involved. They didn't like to hear the positive GDP. They don't like to hear capitalism and capitalistic success.

So they're coming after me again. I get it. It's all right. Nothing new. Two are on a roll and we are going to stay united.

That's the big message. Got it.

So that is good to know. I did not know you'd get behind Don Boldick if he does win.

So, just two more quick questions for you. Number one: fentanyl is the one or two biggest issues for the people of New Hampshire. Is that true? It was and it still is for us. Look, we used to be number two in terms of overdose deaths in the country.

We're now about number 25. The reason is I blew up, I created a whole new system, I blew up that old system, it didn't work. And we're now the only state in the country where overdose deaths didn't increase the last two years in 20 and 21.

So we still have to stay right on top of it. My message on fentanyl across this country is this. It is a whole different ballgame. It is cartel-driven because the border is wide open. It is in your kids' vape cartridges.

They are mixing it with marijuana. They're mixing it with Adderall. They're mixing it with Xanax, right? They're mixing it in very different ways.

So it is cartel-driven. Folks aren't even saying, hey, I think I'm going to take fentanyl. They say, I think I'm going to take Adderall. I'm going to give my kid Adderall. I think I'm going to take Xanax for my anxiety.

And they're getting hooked. It's a whole different ballgame.

So we're trying to stay ahead of that message and let folks know there's no safe experience and drive forward on it. But it is a big issue, and we'll keep it a big issue. 45 seconds. At what point will you decide whether you're in or out of the 2024 presidential race? I'm sorry, Brian.

Can you repeat that? I couldn't hear you. You're breaking up. You liar. No, look, man, I love New Hampshire, and I got to get through 22.

I tell everyone this, even if all those other candidates that want to run for president, you better focus on 22. As Republicans, we better close this deal in November across the country. Man, you have five. You have a lot of energy. And by the way, it's just so weird the way you break up right in the heart of my conversation with my best questions.

You're really hurting my career. The Chinese again. Thank you, Governor. Brian, kill me, Chill. We'll be back with your calls in just a moment.

If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead. The President has been very clear. that uh he intends to run again. And if he does, I will be running with him proudly.

Probably. If he asked me again, probably. I guess I don't know if I should be too presumptive. I think the president is running again. I know Ori Feiser's on the record.

Others saying this is impossible. It's not because if he keeps running, he's got that machine there. He's got people that want to stay there that won't be invited to stay if Gavin Newsom runs and wins or. Kamala Harris runs or wins, they probably want to keep their jobs. They know the influence they have.

They know the limitations of the current office holder. They know they'll have even more latitude after. I think Susan Rice is running the whole thing, especially when you see the amount of screw-ups from foreign policy ongoing. And you heard what Darryl Issa was telling us at an earlier hour, that he came out and and said that we're basically running out of weapons for ourselves because we we're selling and giving so many to Taiwan, Iran excuse me, Iran, Iran. Please, not yet.

And Ukraine. And we're giving them out, selling them, giving them got whatever it takes. These other new NATO allies want some weapons and Poland wants to be rearmed and we get it. Most of their stuff is from the Soviet U Union era. But what about us?

I mean, these got to be like Susan Rice decisions. She gave us the great evacua, the killing of Gaddafi in Libya. Basically, we turned it over to Russia. She gave us the exit. From Benghazi, where you know that, and the explanation that didn't work.

And she also gave us the let's not arm the Ukrainians. Just give them blankets. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. The Democrats think that it's a winning argument.

for them in the midterms. to do what the President did during that speech, an attack personally attack. The people who have supported Donald Trump, 74 million of them. who voted for him in 2020. As a politician, I say great, go get him.

Go get him, Mr. President. Because what people don't like Don Ain Politics, and you know this, is people who govern against brands. He ran to be a uniter. He ran and said he was going to bring the country back together, and then he stood on that stage with a blatantly red background, surrounded by Marines, and attacked 74 million people.

If you watched the state of the South, I did. Because I voted for Donald Trump in 2020. Governor Chris Christie is a great analyst. He really is. And I always thought it was, I didn't get it with ultra MAGA, semi-fascist, let's bring people together, but not all Republicans.

When most Republicans agreed with almost all Donald Trump's policies, it is really almost all of them, except the pullout of Syria and certain moves in Afghanistan. But for the most part, you're not alienating Republicans and saying that. You're trying to get Donald Trump involved in the election. Brett Baer knows all about this. Chief political anchor of Fox News hosts the special report.

You'll listen to and watch him every night at six. Hey, Brett, do you think that Governor Christie has a It does a good job analyzing the problems Biden has with that message. Yeah, I do. I actually do, Brian. I think he you know put his finger on it that that there will be some Republicans who voted for Trump, and again, we've talked about this a lot, who voted for the policies.

Maybe they didn't vote for everything about President Trump, but they voted for the policies that were affecting their lives. And they feel somehow lumped in with the president's attack. And here's what's happening: to your point: each one of these camps. candidates. Especially for the Senate.

Is taking that message and running with it as a threat to democracy. Um and sometimes in places that are fairly purple, And maybe even reddish purple, like Ohio, that message doesn't really translate very well.

So I think Tim Ryan has his hands full. The latest USA Today poll, Suffolk poll has it one point. J.D. Vance and Tim Ryan. And in a Republican leaning state, Uh that's a tough message to sell.

So also if you want to motivate Republicans to make sure they get out for the Senate and the Senate could be slipping away, there's some difficult races there. Say things like Kamala Harris said, I cannot wait to eradicate the filibuster, get rid of the filibuster, codify Roe v. Wade, and also election reform. That's going to motivate Republicans to get to the polls. And listen to what Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman said in going after, of course, he wants to beat Dr.

Oz, cut nine. Who was Yeah. Me to be. The fifty-first vote.

Sounds like you sounds like you want me to be, right? But you know what I would do if I was that 51st vote? First, Rid of the filibuster. Right next. Codify row.

What are your thoughts on that? I think that'll motivate Republicans more than they help Herschel Walker and Dr. Oz more than ever. Yeah. He needs to study up first because you can't How to thy row on 51 votes.

You can possibly get rid of the filibuster first and then do it. But you're going to have a lot of institutionalists That are going to step in the way of that. And some of them are Democrats. Yeah. Some of them are Democrats.

And So getting to that fifty-first vote uh first is is is going to be tough. You're right. It is a double edged sword on this issue. and it does fire up the base. I think they're cowed a little bit by the spending on the ProChoice ads that really are going fast and furious all around the country.

But I think over time, people realize that it's up to their state legislatures, and that's where they should be lobbying. to affect policy in each state now. Gotcha. A couple of things. The Joe Manchin deal.

So Joe Manson gets this deal about drilling oil and some coal things and some things on fossil fuels. He'll get into details.

So he said, because you gave me that for West Virginia and you do have some provisions there for fossil fuels, I will sign on to mini Bill Back Better. And he did. Turns out it's a separate sheet because it has nothing to do with budget, so it doesn't belong in reconciliation. And they get it. And it turns out about 70 Democrats in the House say, I'm not voting for this.

And Bernie Sanders says in the Senate, I'm not voting for this either.

So I'm not sure the Republicans are on board. Did Joe Manchin get duped?

Well, we'll see. They have to move it this week. And if that's the case and he doesn't get this, it's going to be an interesting thing to watch Joe Manchin deal with this publicly. Because people at the time were saying, This is like Wimpy and Popeye. I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a cheeseburger today.

And most deals are not done that way, especially when it comes to tough issues in Congress.

So if this permitting doesn't move forward, and we'll know by Tuesday, Wednesday, definitely by Thursday. Um that will be a major, major blow for Mansion. And for Chuck Schumer's integrity, for future deals that could be done down the line, to the embarrassment of Joe Manchin, I mean, all I mean, he is going to look like he's been made the fool. That's exactly right. And Schumer will have to explain it publicly because it was a public deal.

I mean, that's Manchin went out and talked about. all the things that he got out of this deal making. Um And if it doesn't come to pass, it'll be really something. Oh, it'll be so very interesting. Do you think this is significant?

It looks like John Roberts spoke over the weekend and he said this about the court in light of Roe v. Wade, cut eleven. The court has always decided controversial cases. The decisions have always been subject to uh intense criticism. Um and that is uh entirely appropriate, but I don't understand the connection between opinions that people disagree with and the legitimacy of the court.

And that's because Kamala Harris said this, cut 10. I think this is an activist court. We had. an established Right. for almost half a century, And this court turned took that constitutional right away.

And we are suffering as a nation. Because of it. I mean, obviously, she didn't stumble into that. She wasn't caught on the tarmac and got hit from left field. She wanted to say that.

Calling another branch of government government illegitimate. Not a great precedent. No, for all the talk about a threat to democracy and a threat to the Republic. and um you know how MAGA Republicans are Are that threat? When you start talking about a different branch of government, By duly appointed lifetime terms in the U.S.

Supreme Court. that goes through a process in the Senate. that Republicans and Democrats make those nominees And whoever is the president becomes the person who puts that nominee forward. When you start saying the system in some way is broken or illegitimate. And if you're the Vice President of the United States, That is a big deal.

It's a big deal. And when you start saying that they took away a constitutional right. You know, the opinion writers for the Dobbs case. would say, where do you see it? In the Constitution.

that abortion is a constitutional right. Guns. Yes.

They're in there, Article 2. everything else that doesn't fall in the Constitution by Article 10 goes back to the States to be decided closer to where people are living. And that's how the Constitution is written according to the opinion writers of Dobbs. and a lot of experts who look at it. I want to bring you back this weekend on 9-11.

When you kill Bin Laden, it changes the perspective on 9-11. When you don't rebuild the World Trade Center, it takes forever to get going. It changes your perspective on that day over the last 21 years, in my opinion. You always think about what's going on in the world and the legacy of that attack. The legacy of this attack this year is the way we left Afghanistan.

And it's such an embarrassment to our military, and so unfair to the men and women that fought there and lost their lives there and a part of their body. General Frank McKenzie was asked about that and why he didn't resign. Listen to this, cut 20. I know you have since leaving your position shared that you advise President Biden not to draw down to zero, to leave a residual force of 2,500 troops in Afghanistan. It's the right the commander in chief.

To keep his own counsel and reject the advice of his military commanders. If you felt so strongly, why didn't you resign? Once a civilian leadership makes a decision, even though I might disagree with that decision, it is my moral responsibility to execute that order. To resign is not in the history, it is not something that U.S. officers have typically done, and it sends a very bad signal.

It is a political act by an officer who must need and must be and remain apolitical.

What about his decision not to resign, that that's just not the way it's done? Yeah, I think that that's from a military perspective something that they think about a lot. They, having covered the Pentagon for almost seven years, I know that commanders think that way. They may totally disagree with someone's Decision making, they can advise on the front side, but can't really affect it on the back side. And they feel it's better to.

Mm-hmm. Answer the order than to make a political statement. That's where the purists are. But there are others who say, you know, I have. Principles, and this principle I can't cross, and it's one where I need to step aside.

And it's such a disaster, the decision. that you wonder how can I execute that? You wonder too. If General McKenzie says, listen, I'm going to have to quit, Mr. President, this is so wrong.

It's going to fall in weeks, not months, weeks, and it's so wrong. I can't be a part of this decision.

So I hope you understand I'm going to resign. Maybe President Biden changes his mind. Yeah, that's true. And and if you can affect it like that, That's one way to look at it. I agree.

I mean, there have been people who have done that. But Mackenzie obviously didn't feel like he was in the position to do it. I will say that, I mean, it affected a lot of things. You look back at that moment. and how foreign policy perhaps the trajectory of a number of other things.

change the boldness of China, the boldness of Russia with Ukraine. may have been affected by how that looked on the world stage. Uh, Brett, who do you have tonight for your panel?

So I've got Brian Moynihan, the CEO of Bank of America, talking about the economy and what's coming up. I've got Britt Hume, who has his own reflections on the Queen plus look at politics. And then I've got my panel, and I don't remember who it is. Have you met the Queen? Focus on the other two.

Have you met the Queen? I did not. I met her from afar because I covered the White House when she had a state dinner. at um at the Bush White House, George W. Bush.

So I was in the press pool for that, but I did not have a personal audience, Brian. Can I just ask you a question? How we're going to be doing this for next week? Yeah, we are. We are.

Every day there's they got something. I will say that the pop and circumstance of the moment is a spectacle. and it will only build up as you get to the funeral.

So I mean, it's a world event and one in which we'll cover, but in balance. Right. It's going to be interesting. You know, the soap opera behind it, the history that's there, the amount of prime ministers she's met. And we're going to be doing a lot of it.

So keep it, don't blow it all tonight, Brett. Spread out your knowledge, okay? Endurance. Thank you, Brett Bear. Appreciate it.

All right. So when we come back, I'll take your calls or maybe find out if there's more to know. You listen to the Brian Kill Me show.

So glad you're here. Learning something new every day on the Brian Killmead Show. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. The wealth of this empire was derived on the back of the people of their empire.

There is the generation of multicultural and diverse Britons who want this answered, who want to see their monarch finally talk about what it means and what, you know, potentially the idea of reparations. Do you believe this? It's time for the king to talk about reparations for things that happened 200 years ago. And why don't we just pull down every statue we can get a hold of as well and get rid of Wellington and your great admirals from years past? And you know, I'm sure Winston Churchill must have said something that wouldn't fly today.

So let's get rid of him. Unbelievable that you have Christina Napole so woke as their foreign policy correspondent. I'm not saying she's not smart and with great connections, but she's way to the left, like Freed Zakario, way to the left. Great knowledge, great connections. But anything that makes President Biden look bad, they're that colored.

Trump did nothing right. Reparations need to be done. The West world needs to apologize for moving the planet forward. And that same attitude, which is take down these statues, are the same attitude you heard right there. Can you imagine?

If the king comes out, King George III comes out King Charles the Third comes out and says, First off, I'd like to provide zillion dollars to all the places that we colonized through the last three hundred plus years.

Okay, great.

So take down all the structures they built, all the systems they put in place too as well. All the money that they've financed, all the aid that they've given. Let's get rid of all that too. They want to pay back.

So let's forget we did all that.

So, I think it's nuts. One thing I was getting to before when I thought I lost Governor Sununu, I wanted to finish up on.

So, if you want to be a unifier, a lot of people say, well, what do you mean unifier? Everyone's so dug in. They have their thing they want to get past, they have their issue they want to get through, they have their philosophy that's got to get verified and win at the ballot box. And I give you a perfect example. I thought I laid out a pretty easy example to understand on Saturday.

Since both elections, since both parties have been challenging every election, Outside Obama's two elections, it was so His uh win was so big against McCain and substantial against Romney, no one's really challenging it, right? But besides that, everything's so close and will be close from here on in. You're going to keep saying, Well, I really won, I got robbed. I really won, I got robbed. With the Gore people, we saw it with the Kerry people.

We saw it with Donald Trump, didn't really win illegitimate in 2020. Donald Trump acted the way he acted. All of it is wrong. Challenge legally, make sure it's on the up and up for the good of the country, but you cannot stamp your feet and say, I was cheated, I was robbed with no proof.

So I asked Ed Randell that, the former DNC chair and governor of Pennsylvania, Cut Six. It's part of the overall problem. We've become so polarized. I'll give you a perfect example. Anton Scalia was confirmed for the Supreme Court by 97 to 0.

97 to 0. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was confirmed 98 to 2. That would never happen today. Why? Why?

If the person has judicial ability and honesty, We lost the election, confirmed the person. I think the one thing that your presentation, and it was good factually, but the one thing it left out is the key factor is the Democratic candidates for president in those two elections both conceded almost immediately after the results were clear or after the Supreme Court had made its decision. Al Gore gave a magnanimous speech, I remember. I was chairman then, and he called the country to unify. And I think the same trend was true in 2016.

Hillary Clinton conceded the morning after the election. But what the governor forgets is factually. That day that they decided, the next day they decided to have this Russia hoax. a part of the Trump administration. And make that an investigation that flourished in a way that they didn't think was possible.

I'm sure expanded past their own expectations. That was in a book, a Democratic operative book, that talked about they launched this whole rush infiltrated the election right after. The candidates did concede. I'll give them credit for that. But afterwards, Al Gordon complained, but Hillary Clinton never stopped complaining.
