Dividin' Biden: President spends Labor Day calling MAGA "Trumpies"

Live from the Fox News Radio Studios in New York City, fresh off the set of Fox and Friends, it's America's receptive voice. Thanks so much for being here, everybody. It's the Brian Kill Me Chow. We are back. Summer's over.

White pants, put them away. It is time to get started and sprint towards the midterms. I'm excited about it. Lieutenant Colonel Allen Weston, a little while, but you're next. 1866-408-7669.

Of course, I'm going to be in Albany on Thursday. It's going to be an exciting week, and I'll be coming from a local diner there on Friday, so do TV and radio. From there, I'll run back to the To the station. We'll see. Go to BrianKillme.com.

This way I can see you in person at The Egg in Albany. It's always great to go where a great affiliate is. We have a lot to go over. Arizona race is tightening up. In New Hampshire, Republicans should have a candidate soon.

In Georgia, Herschel is beginning to surge. And in Pennsylvania, Dr. Oz is closing the gap. But everything is so up for grabs. You have to stay here through the entire midterm election season and dare I say beyond.

Let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. We have that laptop in the Department of Justice and FBI for months and months before anybody knows it existed. That's why total transparency is important. Yeah, that would help.

The plot thickens. The soon-to-be disgraced FBI agent Tim Timbold was Tony Bobolinski's point man in the spiked hunter laptop story, right? And the big guy, Biden, the international finance scam, we're still trying to unwind. Few knew more about President Biden's role than. Tony Bobolinski and even some CNN correspondents are now asking the questions.

Number two. That's a potentially explosive ruling if it holds. The Justice Department assumed that Trump only had attorney-client privilege, that he did not have executive privilege. But the problem is it's not 100% settled. True.

And Andy McCarthy's surprise. Trump gets his wish, and a special master is named to review what was taken from Mar-a-Lago's home as we learn what the FBI took. That includes his medical records, tax information, even rifled through his 16-year-old son's room. Does anyone think that's okay? Number one.

The definition of democracy Is you accept the will of the people when the votes are honestly counted. These guys don't do it. To this day, MAGA Republicans in Congress defend the mob that stormed the Capitol. People died later. Really?

Dividing by divider, divider-in-chief. Remarkable, divisive, angry speeches from raging Joe Biden using terms like ultra, Trumpies, and MAGA to ridicule and divide Republicans. But will it keep his party in power come November?

So let's get started.

So, this is his approach. And the word is: starting on Thursday, a lot of people on his staff said, Mr. President, I'm not sure this is a good approach. Remember, on Thursday, he goes to Liberty Hall and he has Marines behind him, which says, Okay, it's not going to be political. I thought to myself, it can't be a political speech that the Marines are there.

Well, it was pure politics, it was something that should have been said at the Democratic National Convention. It would have been appropriate, perhaps, if you wanted to be very negative, but not as a president of the United States saying this is a presidential address about saving our soul, which is bizarre. I don't really think we look to a president to save our soul, but unless you're Lincoln and it's a Civil War, I could see it. I don't really see Biden as a Lincoln, although Biden sees Biden as a Lincoln.

Well, evidently some people on his staff say, Mr. President, look at your speech. Don't really, not too sure that really you've got to be effective. Why don't you talk about your accomplishments, what you want to do? Remember, you're the guy who gave the inaugural about coming together, not hating each other.

You pretty much hate the president, former president. You never mentioned him up until, for the most part, up until yesterday. Then you mentioned his supporters. People that follow him are extremist and ultra. That's not really true.

You could be for President Trump and not for January 6th. You could be for President Trump and say, well, you know, I don't think it's voting machines or anything else. And that's the story. And now, when you see how dramatically different your policies are when it comes to the border, when it comes to tax policy, international trade deals, foreign policy, defense spending, of course, what's going on in society and gender and fluidity and what you're teaching kids in school, everything that you agree with, a lot of people aren't comfortable with. And when people agree with President Trump, they want to be called extremists.

They're going to turn you off. Worse yet, you could be turning off the party. A lot of people are turning you off. Fetterman's not appearing with you. He did appear once.

Tim Ryan, nowhere to be found. Shapiro wants to the lieutenant governor, wants to be the next governor. He wasn't there.

So, yeah, the governor of Wisconsin would show up with one appearance, but for the most part, your candidates are staying away. Here's a little of the divisiveness, and I'm wondering what he's even thinking, cut one. Not every Republican is a MAGA Republican. Not every Republican embraces that extreme ideology. I know because I've been able to work with mainstream Republicans my whole career.

But the extreme migrant Republican in Congress Have chosen to go backwards, full of anger, violence, hate, and division. The biggest contrast. from what MAGA Republicans, the extreme Right, they they The the trumpies. They want to go to Congress. These MAGA Republicans in Congress are coming for your Social Security as well.

Yeah. Uh Have you been to any speech from President Trump, any interview that President Trump has gone, and hear him talk about cutting those programs? He never does.

So the fact that he never does, does that make him extreme? What Rick Scott said is we should move some of these automatic spending programs. I think he wants to examine them to make sure that they're being worked Efficiently, because for the most part, the spending's getting out of control. What I have listed, what Rick Scott did as a party agenda, no. He didn't say I'm going to get rid of him.

He says I want to examine him and find out where the money's being spent. But if you want to say Donald Trump said that, that's just mistaken. If you want to say that MAGA Republicans are for storming the Capitol, that's just wrong. I don't know anybody that supports it. In fact, those people that are caught on video, they're dealing with that now.

We know that. But the speech was just a terrible idea. The President responded in between Biden's speeches, cut for. You know all about that. Take away our energy if you can believe it.

No fossil fuel. Destroy our Second Amendment attack. The right to life and replace America. Let me just reframe that. I'll sprint this correctly.

Donald Trump predicted all these moves by Joe Biden. He predicted everything that's happening right now between the border collapsing, fossil fuels being attacked, and being labeled a fascist because you want to make America great again, cut for it. You know all about that. Take away our energy if you can believe it. No fossil fuel.

Destroy our Second Amendment. Attack. The right to life and replace American freedom with left-wing fascism. Left wing, we're going left wing all the way. Fascists, they are fascists.

Some of them, not all of them, but some of them, but they're getting closer and closer. We have to win this election.

Well, they didn't. He got seventy four million votes more than any Republican in history, but they didn't win it. A lot of people say upset about the election. I could not care less. It is done.

The reforms that were put in, were put in by legislatures and governors, it's done.

So, Jim Crow 2.0, totally irresponsible by this president, another divider-in-chief example. What the Democrats have going for him is the Dobbs decision. Evidently, more women, suburban women, are registering to vote since the Dobb decision came down. What is that? That returned the right for an abortion to the states.

How many weeks? Are there exemptions? Are there exceptions? Things to that nature. Every state is deciding, and that's going to affect it.

Now, did Donald Trump affect that? Technically, he put conservative judges on the stand, three of them. On the Supreme Court, but Evidently, he told people this is going to be a problem come election time because most of America wants a degree of abortion, but they don't want long-term or anything past 15 weeks that they can negotiate.

Now, the amount of women who want the right to have it has gone up. I don't care where you stand on the issue. It's just fact.

So, a lot of these purple states or these blue states are saying, now I really got to register.

Now, I really got to go to the midterms because I got to make sure my governor, my senator, goes to bat for what I think, and that is pretty much the Democratic Party. That's what you think the president would be emphasizing. Instead, he's coming out and trying to label everyone. A Trump supporter.

Well, most Republicans are. There's very few Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney supporters. You know I like Adam Kinzinger, but he is not going to fill up a gymnasium. This president fills up stadiums. Still, despite January 6th, despite Mar-a-Lago, despite the Georgia investigation, despite the Attorney General looking into it, despite all these things.

And he won, I think, eighty seven percent of the people ninety three percent of the people that he put forward. But as President Biden says, he's extremist. We gotta got we gotta w vote against these extremists. We gotta make sure these Trump people don't get back in power. Larry Hogan, the moderate's moderate, governor of Maryland, said this.

If President Biden is truly serious about threats to democracy, then he would condemn the tens of billions of Democratic groups who have spent tons of money promoting extremists threatening democracy, those so-called extremists, did you say, these Trumpies, these ultra-maga. Democrats are supporting them, pushing them forward, hoping they get the nomination because they think they're beatable.

Well, if the president was truly the president for all people, concerned about the direction of the country, not his party, he would say, knock that off. I'm not for that.

Now would be a cool moment. But instead you got Democrats defending the speech, Cup Five. She called out. He called out mainstream Republicans, Democrats, Independents to come join him to help protect, to fight to protect our democracy.

So it was about a specific, particular extreme, extreme part of the party that has taken over. What I see in this speech, I see words of encouragement, I see optimism, I see a commander-in-chief who is calling out to all of us, no matter our political affiliation. Two of the hallmarks of a fascist political party are: one, they don't accept the results of elections that don't go their way, and two, they embrace political violence. And I think that's why President Biden was right to sound the alarm. There's nothing the president said on Thursday that has not been said by leading conservatives and Republicans.

I mean, Republicans and the Democrats are in large part in agreement. It's the MAGA movement that is extreme. Are you nuts? Number one, you don't get it. I mean, are you really that stupid?

The Make America Great Again movement is simple. Build strong borders, strong military, few foreign wars, rework trade deals, cut taxes for everyone, build a wall on top of that because it symbolizes reinforcing your border and immigration rules, reforming immigration as well as part of it. He wasn't able to get it done. This is pretty much what the MAGA movement is, not extreme. January 6th is an aberration.

For the most part, these rallies are all extremely peaceful, which made it so bizarre to watch it on January 6th. Number two is, what about what Jamie Raskin was saying? A hallmark of fascist political parties are ones that don't accept the results of an election. You mean like Stacey Abrams doesn't accept the results of an election in 2018 to this day? That Hillary Clinton that says, I really won had it stolen from me to this day?

That most of Al Gore supporters looked at George Bush, George W. Bush, as an illegitimate president to this day? I mean, you think that President Trump invented this? Unbelievable. To me, unbelievable they would take that tact.

Real quick, I want you to hear you. He was on with. Brett Baer last night. Just talking about the Labor Day trips. Weekend trips of the president and his approach, cut seven.

I think it's face plant after face plant, Brett. We go back to the semi-fascist slur. Then we go forward to the student loan bailout. Then we go forward to the red setting, the red wedding speech, which was a much Panned by everyone who was objective about it. And today you have the Wisconsin Democratic senator candidate not showing up with the president, like Tim Ryan in Ohio.

They don't want to be anywhere near him. He got 38% approval. It's falling. He can always get, you know, crowd. He's president of the United States.

People want to see him. Even people don't like him.

Some union guys will show up, et cetera. But I think it's been a disastrous start to the Labor Day campaign. And we'll talk later of specific races, I think. But right now, you'd rather have the Republican cards than the Democratic cards. And you'd rather be led by Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy than Joe Biden.

And Nancy Pelosi says if she happens to lose the speakership, she wants to be ambassador to Italy, already making alternative plans. But a red wave, could it be halted? We'll discuss that because a lot of Reporters and networks are reporting it as fact. But they're actually cheerleading in many respects. I'll go over that, go over the polls, good and bad, for whoever the candidate is.

But this is the place to be for politics. Don't move. We come back. Your calls 1866-408-7669. You're listening to the Brian Kilmead Show.

It's Brian Kilmead. It is really problematic when you look at the way that the Department of Justice is handling this case overall. You have the conflict of interest possibility, but also the appearance of a conflict of interest. And that's where they fail miserably with this case. And, you know, it's very important for the public to know that this case is being treated fairly.

Hunter Biden shouldn't be treated any worse because of who he is, but he shouldn't be treated any better. And the way they're handling this gives the appearance that he's being treated better and being treated with special treatment. Really? The former DHS assistant secretary, Jonathan Fahey, on Fox and Friends First today. But I find it unbelievable.

You said it seems where it appears. Of course, a four-year investigation into his tax records. You still don't have a verdict? If you don't think he's getting special treatment as he walks the earth, stays in. Malibu at some billionaire's house, and then goes back and forth from Delaware to the White House on a regular basis, free with his third family.

I don't you think there's a special The rules for him, of course, but I don't want to get caught up in him. It's all relates to the big guy, Joe Biden. This CEFC is a Chinese company that was the. Capitalist arm Of the Belt and Road Program. What's the Belt and Road Program?

The Belt and Road Program was put together by China to try to get these cash-strapped countries to allow them to build their infrastructure, charge them exorbitant amounts, and then take that infrastructure.

So you build something in Zambia, you decide to take their ports. You build a road and you build a bridge. You decide to take control of the airports. You build because they can't make the payments. They're finding that in Pakistan and elsewhere.

We quickly have tried to get an answer to this because we look to build things with developing countries in a loan situation where they're not predatory loans. We're not there to destroy an economy while really building an infrastructure. But China is. They're looking for the real estate.

So they come in and do a crappy job, they rebuild. This country's infrastructure to a degree of what they can afford. When they can make the payments, they take it. And the CEFC was leading that charge. Guess who was investing with the CEFC?

Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, along with Tony Bobolinsky, when they thought that was a firm, an international business firm, investment firm, they thought they'd invest in, which led them to Romania, led them to Kazakhstan, to Ukraine and Burisma. For people not to follow that line is nuts. For the FBI not to follow through is criminal itself.

Now it turns out. Last week we told you about Tim Teeball. Tim Tebows, 25-year FBI veteran who retired because his name was brought up at a congressional hearing. They say it's no link to that. And they said this guy, according to whistleblowers, suppressed the Hunter Biden story because it linked to Joe and they wanted to protect the Bidens.

And then they came out to the FBI and said, listen, my guy's his lawyer came out and goes, My guy's retiring because he's been 25 years. Nothing to do with this. He didn't work the case. The Baltimore Bureau worked the case.

Well, Miranda Devine writes the story that a Baltimore Bureau may have worked the case, but when Tony Bobolinski came in to meet with the FBI agents and their names are listed. They were told at the end of that interview, Tony Vobelinski, after hours of testimony, no not he was not asked to go in front of a grand jury to look at whether Hunter Biden had had have is worthy of criminal charges. After that testimony he was given a number. That number was Tim Teebold's cellphone number, it says he's the point man for your testimony. Really?

T Bold had nothing to do, nothing to do with this investigation. Really? Well, the whistleblower said he squelched it and said And now we have Bobolinsky told if he was told he was the point man. Please don't tell me this guy wasn't involved. and that the Chris Ray should not have cracked down on this.

Because he cannot be finding out about it really, really truly from Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley. You're the FBI. You don't know what's going on in your own building, let alone around the country. No excuse. I have a lot to say.

I worked 20 years on the border on both sides of the border, including Mexico, as you mentioned.

And when we see the increase in seizures of this type, it's not a good thing. That means that we are getting swamped with fentanyl, methamphetamine, heroin that is continuing to pour into this country. The seizures are good, like I mentioned, but that means that it's coming in through every porous part of our open border down the southern border. And that should be disqualifying for this president because he doesn't have a bad policy. He has no policy, which is a terrible policy.

And this is what Victor Avila is saying. He's a retired ICE special agent. And he said, people are saying, wow, look at all the drug busts we're getting at the border must be good news. He goes, no, it's just the opposite because I've Been doing this for 20 years, and when you get this much, it means the rest of the border is wide open and it's flooding through. Flooding through, maybe because our agents are distracted, or maybe because they know that the policies are just so lax, we're never going to see such irresponsibility again.

Cut 21. There's definitely not enough being done to stop it. And I'll put it to you both ways. One, we have to hold Mexico accountable. They're attached to us.

They're our neighbors. We must go in there with a different strategy to hold them accountable for what they're not doing in their country. And of course, the United States and this administration is doing absolutely nothing to stop the flow of these killer poisonings, is what I call them, because we're over 107,000. 65% of those poisonings are fentanyl poisonings. That's what's happening at the border.

And that's what's so criminal about it. And that's what this administration thinks are going to get away with. And that is why I believe that there's a panic among other networks not to cover something so terrible. But if you are in Texas, do you really think you're worried about the MAGA agenda?

Well, you mean the wall and the extra Border Patrol agents and the backing up of our border and the people who are actually applying to come here the right way? Is that so terrible? Is that so extreme? When it comes to enforcing the border and the wall, it absolutely worked. Why else do you think they're closing it in portions of Arizona?

It's ridiculous. The other big story, and I think it's genius, I thought it was a. Defiant move to get attention. I thought it was maybe a weak story. But when Governor Abbott started sending.

Illegal immigrants from his border voluntarily to Washington, D.C. I thought that was.

Okay, get attention. They said, okay, we're going to watch those buses pull in. They were about a third full. And I've seen people get out. I'm like, I guess it's not really going to be that big a deal.

Well, evidently, it was getting under the DC skin. And then New York, which gets these flights without anybody announcing it. Which gets these fights with anyone announcing it. New York. Started getting some of these, started complaining, and there wasn't anything happening.

There were no buses coming there. They were complaining about something that wasn't taking place. But Governor Armstrong said, No, I'll send them to you, Mayor Adams. I know you're tight with Joe Biden.

So if you think we have to deal with 7,000 a day, why don't you deal with maybe 70 tops? And then send a few more buses. When he started complaining, a few more buses. And then they started getting him in Chicago. Why should just Texas be dealing with it?

This is a major issue.

So now these blue cities have to wonder: are we going to send a reporter down there from the Chicago Sun-Times to cover the illegals and why they're coming here? Mayor Lightfoot could be saying idiotic things, but she's still giving heat to the story and oxygen to this story that all America should be concerned about. Our border. Why is that a Republican or Democratic thing? Cut 23 is Mayor Lightfoot.

Listen to what she says. He professes to be a Christian. This is not the Christianity and the teachings of the Bible that I know. And I think religious leaders all across the country are standing up and denouncing exactly this. Religious leadership Religious leaders, well, number one, Catholic charities is taking government money to give these illegal immigrants.

Healthcare attention, a place to sleep, maybe a Nike bag to be able to get a fresh set of clothes, put them on buses and fly them around the country if they prefer flights to land to sponsor homes.

So that's all costing us money. When it comes to religion, it has nothing to do with religious. What is religious about getting 7,000 illegal immigrants a day? You don't know who they are or where they're from. They're not all cute four-year-olds.

And even if they are, that's our responsibility now to raise them, which I'm fine with that. If you have a charitable arm, but not an immigration policy, now she's bringing up somebody's religion. Are you insane? That makes absolutely no sense. And that to me is what the administration, that's what the Republicans should be talking about.

You talk about the border, you talk about inflation, and first and foremost, you talk about crime. They're all related. Joe, listen on WRC Anna Long Island. Hey, Joe. Brian, good morning.

Yes, I'm listening to you. It's unsustainable. MAGA, I could tell you what MAGA is because I'm self-proclaimed number one in the country. MAGA is if you love America, you're MAGA. MAGA is love of God, country, and family.

MAGA is liberty, individual freedom. It's the American dream for all legal Americans, Brian. MAGA is the defenders of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights. MAGA is defenders of children, disabled, the elderly. And I want to speak about, if I can, Brian, about make another point, Joe Biden's disgraceful speech.

President, uh that could be arguable, but He divides Americans. He put the prop up there in Marines, and I was so disgusted. I couldn't even tell because it was so dark. But after what he did in Afghanistan, those 13 Marines, he killed soldiers with his incompetence, the gall to put them up there as a prop. Like we said, my father was a Marine, I was Navy, my brother was Air Force, we all served, but they killed the ch uh father and 10 children with a drone strike so he can get a talking point.

The aid worker, I thought that. They told us that was the bomber. They told us that was the bomber. What no? No, no.

The father with the drone strike two days later so he can get the talking point, the drone, the aid worker, the father with the 10 children.

So we can get a talking point. No, no, no, I know, but they told us they killed the bomber, the suicide bomber at Abbey Gate. The mastermind of the bombing.

So they instead it ends up being a guy just filling up his trunk, deliver gas to somebody. They said it was to be a terrorist, and they were totally wrong. The guy was actually an ally working for our government. But here is a little from the president, a little bit at the aftermath of the president's speech. I want you to hear, here's Jeff Mason, what he's saying about the politics of it.

Is it good politics? He's with Reuters. Cut 10. The president's message, whether it was came or arrived well with some part of the country or not, was certainly that he thinks Trump and Trump supporters are a threat to American democracy. The White House argued that that wasn't a political speech.

I think that's been a tough argument for them to make. Yeah, and he put those Marines behind him. A tough argument. Thanks so much for the call. 1866-408-7669.

And the thing is, too, if it does work, the President's going to be in good stead.

Now a lot of people are saying, and Nate Silver talked about this on Sunday. The red wave is being halted mainly by the Dobbs decision, but the President's approval ratings aren't budging. They're still around between 38% and 41 percent. Which is why so many Democratic candidates don't want anything to do with him. He's radioactive.

Now, in Pennsylvania, they say Fetterman's got an eight-point lead according to 538. The Attorney General Josh Shapiro, who wants to be the next governor, they say he's got about the same type lead, seven-point lead, over Mastriano. We will see. Mastriano is very good on the stump. You know, he was there and they're trying to link him to 9-11.

He was there that day. He's a big Trump supporter. He's a state rep. We'll see if he's got what it takes. He's not a dumb guy.

He's got a PhD in history. I've interviewed him before. He's actually quite impressive. But That is somebody that Donald Trump should go to bat for because the ultimate battleground state is Pennsylvania.

So this Tom Bagne is a Democratic strategist. He was in Axios over the weekend. He's with Target Smart. He says the row wave. Of new women voters.

fired up by the Supreme Court Road decision could swamp GOP's hopes of a red wave. He said in my twenty eight years analyzing elections, I've never seen anything like what has happened in the past two months in American politics. We will see. But that's an op ed in the New York Times. You got to look at Where it comes from.

You know what I don't see? I don't see people talking about the impact of the Hispanic vote on almost all sectors. You go to Florida, you got the Cuban vote. You go to you got the Hispanic vote in We had a lot of Cubans coming through Texas to decide to stay, but the Cubans mostly are Republicans. Democrats, for the most part, think they're getting all these triangle countries, but those people aren't voting.

The ones that were here already, evidently pretty upset by the whole thing, so they're probably not going to be voting for them. Morgan Ortegas over the weekend talked about demonizing half the country. She's actually been doing it on the ground, trying to meet as many reporters as possible. Dave McCormick is going to team with Dr. Oz this week in Pennsylvania.

I think on Thursday, Morgan's going to be there, cut nine. They made a calculated decision to divide this country, to call so many people who voted for President Trump a threat to the Republic. Listen, President Biden and his team should know, just look at the members of the military, for example. Most of the members of the military probably are registered Republicans who probably voted for Trump. Are you trying to say the people who sign up to give their lives for this country are a threat to a republic?

It was one of the most insulting and demonizing things that I've ever seen a president do to half the country. See what the president keeps saying is I'm not saying all Republicans, just the Magli, excuse me. Most Republicans are voting for Donald Trump. There are some that aren't. I get it.

The Lincoln Project and those Liz Cheney and Adam Kinziger. But for the most part, that's where almost all of them stand.

So vilify them incorrectly, anger them. holistically and do exactly what Hillary Clinton said. Demean them. With deplorables in that comment. That's what this adds up to.

And the word is that many people on his staff did not want him to deliver that tone of a speech at Independence Hall. He did it anyway. He said it was time. There's a lot of people pleased by it. I don't think the general electorate is.

But maybe I'm wrong. I'll take calls next: 1-866-408-7669. Brian Kilmey Chow. Both sides, all opinions. It's Brian Killmead.

From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmead. Quite frankly, this is not going to change the trajectory of the case. The Department of Justice is going to be able to complete its case and any prosecution. Indeed, it was unlikely that they would announce any indictment before the midterm executive elections because of the standard policy at the Department of Justice.

Now, this order does prevent them from continuing to use these documents for prosecutorial purposes. And that may be the reason that they do appeal. They have nothing to lose from an appeal except the precedent that they might create. Or the time.

So, what they said, and what Jonathan was going over, Jonathan Turley, welcome back, everybody, was the Mar-a-Lago raid. They asked for a special master, and everyone, all these legal experts, are saying, Why is the Trump team there? The B team, this is they don't know what they're doing. They should have asked for a special master right away.

Now they've had a chance to go through the FBI had a chance to go in there, and they had their vetting team go through there.

So there's nothing, no reason for a special master. And the Department of Justice argued we don't need a special master.

Well, the judge said, No, I think we do, because the president not only has attorney client privilege papers that disappeared or may have, but he also has executive privilege. And they said, wait a second. Yeah, a former president does have some executive privilege, especially some of the documents that he might have declassified when he was president.

Now, what are these documents? There's 11,000 documents that they took. 48 empty folders, 103 classified documents, it seems. 42 fold folders that said confidential on it that are also empty.

So they took also his tax records, some of his tax records, and his interaction on taxes, some of his emails. And number two, they took they took. His uh medical records. What are you talking about? I thought you had a tank team to walk in there and immediately screen it.

Of course, you need a master, a special master.

So, even I think the judge was very fair. He says, just give me five names or some names that you think I should consider as a special master. He told the Trump team, give me some names of people I should consider as a special master to go through it. You know what effectively it does, though? For the most part, there's none said rule.

Within 60 days of an election, you're supposed to keep down on investigations that affect that election. This would absolutely affect that election. We're at 63 now.

So you're going to take your time. You're going to appeal. You're going to continue to allow these headlines to get out and the investigation to emerge.

Now, you're going to use the Washington Post and New York Times leaks air quotes to get your point across. I get it. But they are deciding now. With a special master to move forward by Friday, they want some special master candidates.

So, Cannon, the judge, was a Trump appointee. It was confirmed the week after Trump's defeat in 2020. This doesn't know Tony Trump anything. I mean, with the order, not only unilaterally serve only to delay the criminal justice system, according to the Department of Justice. This will delay everything, so they're not happy.

What draw with delay? What's your big rush? You got your documents back. You didn't have to wait for the subpoena to be satisfied. You didn't want to negotiate anymore, but you took everything.

I thought you had some great intelligence that told you exactly where to go to find everything. Here's Mike McCall. I talked about the rate, cut fifteen. There's a certain distrust but verify attitude when it comes to the Department of Justice and the FBI. And it frankly saddens me because as an alumni of DOJ, I hate to see people's faith in our institutions being weakened.

I have a lot of questions. Why didn't they enforce the subpoena before they did this unprecedented search warrant on a former President of the United States? And also, why didn't they tell the committees, the Senate Select Committee, hey guys, I got a problem with the former president. He's got some items here and folders there in Mar-a-Lago that I don't think he gave me everything. I think we might have to do a raid.

Guys, what do you think, Republicans and Democrats? Tell me if this is an overreaction. And if I'm the Department of Justice, I would love to say, yeah, here's my press conference. And by the way, I briefed Republicans and Democrats on this at the highest level of our intelligence community before I did it, and they're in support. But they didn't know anything about it.

How serious can you be if you didn't brief them where you're just ignoring another branch of government again? James Comer weighed in on Fox and Friends First this morning, Cut 14. He could be the next Chairman of Intelligence should the House go Republican, Cut 14.

Well, it benefits the President a lot. I don't think the President would have been granted the Special Master had the DOJ had all their I's dotted and T's crossed. Clearly, they took way too many documents. They've already admitted that there were a certain number of documents that may have been classified. What they took significantly outnumbered what they said was classified.

So I think the FBI, the Department of Justice, they're going to have a lot of explaining to do as to why they took so many documents, in addition to so many other questions. But in the short term, this was a big victory for Donald Trump. Right. You don't want to hear what you did wrong, Department of Justice. We got this.

No, you don't got this. And why this, the Department of Justice, why this Attorney General thought he could pull this off without a major backlash is insane.

Now, do I think the president should have brought this stuff home? No. No, this should be the screening team. If I'm the president, I don't need another headache. I like some of these records.

For my own memorabilia and from my library.

Well, whatever you want to do. I need the archives to come down here and check it out. I don't need to. Be in the middle of any of this. And if I really want a document that they don't want to give me, make it a big deal.

So, I'm going to take it on this one document. I'm going to have my attorneys get involved. We're going to keep it on ice till we decide it. Mike Pence went through the normal process, but vice presidents don't have a lot of paperwork that's extremely valuable. Not like the president does, especially a hands-on president like this.

Unfortunately, we don't have any time to take any calls, but I do. We're supposed to have Alan West on. Uh, this hour, but it didn't work out. We had a miscommunication. Also, we had this thing called a flight delay.

Which is pretty much commonplace with everybody listening to me right now. It is more an exception than a rule when your flight lands on time. And I would say that that is fine. If I would say that's fine if it was in 2022, I'd say it's fine if it was 1953. They were beginning to put it in airports and understand the magnitude of passenger travel.

But that's the Secretary of Transportation, life under Pete Buddha, Judge. Yeah, he says, I'm really going to come down on people who don't fly. And I don't think it's, you know, I don't think it's right. To uh I'm gonna blame the airlines because they were given money and they didn't spend it on retaining their employees. Yeah, they incentivized a lot of them to retire, and you have this age this age cutoff.

When it comes to pilots, which I think is very dangerous, they lose the most experienced pilots. And it shouldn't be a case-by-case basis. I mean, before Boxing Commission, they make sure if you're 30 or 40. You can pass a medical exam. Make sure, if you're on top of your game, why are you making somebody retire and hurting air travel?

Brian, kill me, Cho. Keep it here. From the Fox News Radio Studios in New York City, giving you opinions and facts with a positive approach. It's Brian Kilmead. Thanks so much for being here, everybody.

It's the Brian Kilmeat Show, 1-866-408-7669.

So glad you're here. Coming to you from 48th and 6th in Middown, Manhattan. Heard around the country, heard around the world. Barney and Company, Al Samalcats, and FBN, so you get a chance to see what I look like. If you're not watching Fox Nation right now, who was kind enough to stream our show.

Dan Hoffman at 34 minutes after the hour. It's going to be fascinating. I got to talk about what's happening over in Russia. First, there's a report that they understand that they're going to be under extreme long-term economic distress, despite the fact that they are making money off their oil at this moment. I don't know if you saw over the weekend, but there was a shot of Vladimir Putin on stage, and his feet were shaking uncontrollably.

The word is cancer or some type of Parkinson's, and I only wish him the worst. I mean, I really wish he suffers and dies a terrible death of what he's doing to innocent people now. Do you know what they're actually doing? They're kidnapping Ukrainians, grabbing them out of their houses, they're shipping them to Russia, and they're taking children and adopting them into Russian families, taking away from their families, let alone the people they killed and the wars they started. I'm Michael Goodwin in a matter of moments.

So let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. We have that laptop in the Department of Justice and FBI for months and months before anybody knows it existed. That's why total transparency is important. Yeah, I would say so.

More revelations. The pot thickens.

Soon-to-be disgraced FBI agent Tim Tim Bolt was Tony Bobolinski's point man on the spiked Hunter Biden story and the big guy story on the international finance scam that were beginning to get exposed. Yeah, the guy that said he had nothing to do with the investigation had everything to do with it. Few knew more about President Biden's role than he, then mean Tony Bobolinski. And even CNN is beginning to ask questions. Number two.

That's a potentially explosive ruling if it holds. The Justice Department assumed that Trump only had attorney-client privilege, that he did not have executive privilege. But the problem is it's not 100% settled. That is, and I'll tell you, I think my opinion is that Andy McCarthy was kind of surprised by the special master ruling. Trump gets his wish.

A special master will be in place to review what was taken from his home. That includes medical records, his passport, tax information, and even tax communications with his accountants. Why would they need all that? And why do they need to rifle through? Baron's room.

Number one. Is you accept the will of the people when the votes are honestly counted. These guys don't do it. To this day, MAGA Republicans in Congress defend the mob that stormed the Capitol. People died later.

Dividing Biden. Unbelievable, divisive, angry speech. As Biden not only shocks the world on Thursday with his idiotic remarks, he does it again all throughout the weekend through Labor Day. He thinks by saying people are ultra Trumpies and MAGA, he's ridiculing a small segment of the Republican Party. It's the whole thing.

Will someone please whisper that in his ear and see if it sticks? Michael Goodwin knows all that. He wrote about it in Sundays.

Well, yeah, it's Taylor's Tuesday, Sundays, the New York Post. He joins us now, and he's a Fox News contributor. Michael, welcome back. Thank you, brother. Do you believe the reports that Joe Biden is defying his own staff and writing these re information?

In going with this tone, with these remarks?

Well, look, I I I do. I think that it was a mistake for him to give that speech. I think it it may make him feel better getting a kind of sugar high from denouncing Trump. Uh But as I've written a couple of times, Brian, Joe Biden has a lot to be afraid of. And I think this speech this speech comes out of a panic that if Republicans win either House of Congress, they are going to investigate Joe Biden's connection to Hunter Biden and all of the things that we've heard.

And so the only way Joe Biden can Exempt himself from that is by helping the Democrats keep both houses. And so they I think he has decided, perhaps along with some pollsters, that you have to mention Donald Trump's name ten times every day. And you have to say MAGA Republican. MAGA Republicans is another way of saying Trump. And that, I think, is what they're pinning all their hopes on.

Now whether the White House liked that speech, liked that setting, I mean, there have been reports that said no, they advised against it, they advised against the speech. But I think that Joe Biden has decided this to put all of his chips on this. for the next ninety days, I think this is what we're going to be hearing about. Put Donald Trump on the ballot. Put January sixth on the ballot.

Don't forget, that's been Nancy Pelosi's move all along as well. That's why they did the January sixth commission. It was designed to come out and to be kind of their hammer in this election. As it turned out, they had nothing else. But all along, I think that was the goal.

And look, Joe Biden really does, this is not a figment of his imagination for once. He may have invisible people he wants to shake hands with and all of that, but he's really got an issue here because when the Republicans take either House, Wh you you're going to have Jim Jordan and others in the House? Or you're going to have Grassley and Ron Johnson and others in the Senate going after this Hunter Biden side? I mean, Johnson and Grassley in particular in the Senate have done tremendous work in ferreting out the eleven million dollars That the one Chinese company paid the Biden family. Yeah, yeah, eleven million dollars.

And I think people, you know, don't associate this, Brian, with. What that company was about, this project that Tony Bobolinski was going to be the CEO of, and that Hunter Biden, Jim Biden, Rob Walker, I mean, the whole Biden family operation was going to be involved in. It was about the Chinese buying American infrastructure. This work was done. You remember at one point there was a On Hunter Biden's laptop, there was a list of Democratic office holders in the United States as well as foreign officials, Democratic office holders in the United States, whom the Bidens had made a list of that Joe Biden would be able to call.

and get a meeting with this group.

So the governor of New York, for example, Andrew Cuomo, was on the list. And the idea was the Chinese want to buy New York infrastructure. uh whether it's and You know, we will we, the Bidens, will make the deal. We'll bring the two sides together. The states need the money, states and cities, whether it's a bridge or water tunnel or any highway.

And the Chinese, this is part of their belt and road initiative that they've been doing all over the world. They were going to do it in America. And the Bidens were going to be the front people. That's what they got paid $11 million for, that we know just before anything was sold. This was just for being on the team, for arranging meetings, et cetera, et cetera.

I mean, this was going to be, Bobolinski has said it. This was going to be billions of dollars.

So, in your same newspaper, Miranda Devine writes that Tim T-Bold, who they now the soon-to-be-disgraced 25-year veteran of the FBI, who was brought up by whistleblowers, a dozen to Grassley and or Johnson, came forward and said, This guy squelched the story. And T-Bolt's attorney came back and said, no, he didn't. He had nothing to do with the Baltimore Bureau, squelched the Biden story, the Hunter Biden laptop story. And then it turns out in the story yesterday, was it Sunday? It's kind of blending together.

It turns out that T-Bolt was the point man who Tony Bobolinski was told, if you need anything, this is your contact. And they gave him Tim T-Bolt's cell phone number.

So if he had nothing to do with the story, why is Tony Bobolinski the most valuable witness that nobody cares about, that the FBI had to bring into their bureau through secret passageways, who was never brought in front of the grand jury, who provided all its text messages, his cell phones, his email, all this stuff too? He was never followed up with. They never did anything again in the grand jury, and T-Bolt never contacted. How could you say he was not involved in this story? See how it's all coming together?

Well, that's right. And look, the twin thing, I mean, you were talking before about the raid on Mar-a-Lago.

So all you have to do is juxtapose these two things, right? This is the same Attorney General. This is the same FBI, right, that doesn't have time or sincerely makes an effort to investigate Hunter Biden over four years But now has time to raid Mar-a-Lago, has sufficient manpower for that, does it in a hurry. I mean, this is the same Justice Department. And this is precisely why a lot of people don't trust the Justice Department.

You can line up cases like that. how they go after the parents. The Justice Department has this domestic terrorism watch on parents who complain at school board meetings. right, but never does anything about the people coming across the border Commit crimes. I mean, on and on and on.

There is this juxtaposition of what looks like a very political Justice Department that is doing the bidding of the President of the United States. And I finally, I'll just say, Brian, I believe there is a clear connection between the raid on Mar-a-Lago and Joe Biden's determination to do MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, MAGA. I think that the two have to go hand in hand. I don't think it's just a coincidence that Joe Biden turns to this claim on the campaign trail in the wake of the Mar-a-Lago raid. I think it's part of the White House political terrorist.

Then they're saying they flat-out lied. He said, I knew nothing about the raid. I knew nothing about the raid at all. He was never even briefed on the raid, which is you have to suspend logic to think the president. Can you imagine if Trump was in office and they go, we're going to raid Barack Obama's house, not even tell Trump?

Are you kidding? Or if Obama was in office and they said, we're going to raid Bush's office? When I'm going to tell Obama.

So, yet they raided Mar-a-Lago. No, we never really briefed the president. He's been busy. He's got COVID. Really?

He's got nothing to do. You can't text him a message. By the way, we're going, don't go to Mar-a-Lago today because we're raiding it. This is the same president who didn't know anything about Hunter Biden's foreign businesses.

So why does he lie about that? Why does he see the lie? Because it's such an easy lie to disprove, which it's been disproven.

So why lie? Because you can't handle the follow-up question. You can handle all of the questions about your association with your sons. business partners and paymasters. That's why he lies about the threshold question of did you ever discuss it?

So, I don't know what's going on at CNN. It's not my job. They haven't asked me to run that place. But Dana Bash has asked a few questions that were provocative and interesting. They weren't, I'm not saying that she's not, but this is definite tilt of despising Donald Trump and everything she says and does, but a little bit less than most.

Over the weekend, this Sarah Seidner tweeted this out. This is for a CNN reporter. There are serious questions that should be asked about Hunter Biden. He's not an elected official, but legitimate questions should be asked and answered about his former business dealings and how it was handled by the FBI. This shouldn't be a partisan issue.

That creates this huge uproar. What happened at CNN and other conservative organizations? Do you realize she even missed the story? We don't care about Hunter Biden. I only care about Hunter Biden as it has to do with trading on the family name and as it relates to the big guy, Joe Biden.

I care about Hunter Biden as much as I care about Billy Carter. I was only nine at the time, so maybe that's a bad example. But the Hunter Biden is also a distraction. They look at the crack. And the addicts, and they try to get sympathy.

CEFC, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, all these dealings that this president is dealing with now that could Oman. These are all places that he was doing business with getting possibly a percentage of all investment on. And that relates directly to a war in the Ukraine, directly to anything in the Middle East, and it certainly reflects it directly on what's happening with China. And why wouldn't I think that if you're trying to destroy the oil and gas business to push our country towards batteries, which all the elements of which are lived are contained in China, why wouldn't I think twice about why this president has these policies? Look uh Brian, the the New York Post did a story a couple of months ago that did not get enough attention, I believe.

It was that uh The Post got finally, through I think Freedom of Information, got Vice Presidential Mansions visitor logs when Joe Biden was vice president. And what the reporters were able to establish was a pattern of Hunter Biden and his partner Eric Schwerwin. visiting Joe Biden right before or after their foreign trips. And so the sense that they're reporting back to the big guy. about their business activities.

To me, it is highly suspect. Again, when Joe Biden says I never talked with him about the business, why is Hunter Biden's business partner visiting the Vice President with Hunter Biden? Yeah, John Levine. I've been like 25 times. Michael, I just have to say, you might be disappointed in the rest of the media, but on our show, we had John Levine in here talking about that the next day.

So please, when you indict the media, could you say except for Brian Kilmead in the next column? From now on, I will. Thank you. I am all over this. But as it relates to Joe.

But I mean, when he was vice president, this is when these things were being formed. This is when the money was being made. And then you add up to I I know I know you know this, Brian, but the idea when Hunter says pop makes me give him half my salary. When Eric Schwerwin is working with both Checking accounts of Hunters and Joe's. How do we exempt Joe from this question?

We can't. We can't, and I think you're 100% right. We've got to look into this more. We're not going to let up on it, and it will continue. Michael Goodwin, thanks so much.

My pleasure, Professor. Thank you. All right. When we come back, I'll take your calls. I'll give you a lot: 1-866-408-7669.

Also, Daniel Hoffman at the bottom of the hour. You listen to the Brian Kilmeet Show. Giving you everything you need to know. You're with Brian Kilmead. A talk show that's real.

This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Hey, welcome back. I mean, there's a, for Michael Goodwin to come out and say that, I mean, he does a lot of research too. And he's not an apologist for Donald Trump, knows Donald Trump is not playing the perfect game. It's not like talking to some people that.

They're great people, but they just don't think Donald Trump ever did anything wrong. Michael Goodwin has called him out and written about it, but for the most part, the fact that Joe Biden is able to lie his way through that he knew nothing about. Hunter Biden's business dealings, yet he was benefiting from them. No one's ever asked Joe Biden this. Do you know Tony Bobolinski?

Did you meet at the Beverly Hills Hotel? What about the correspondence that says you have to give 10%, that you got 10% to the big guy, that you were involved in the CFSAF dealings? How do you mention the fact that you met with him and his business partners right after their major meetings overseas? Look at these notes, Mr. President.

How do you explain all this? And remember, you said you don't know anything about his business partners, but yet there's a picture of you with Devin Archer and the Hamptons in New York. Devin Archer was his business partner. Almost all of them are in jail. The CEFC contact you had in China has disappeared.

I'm not saying you had anything to do with that, but China had something to do with that. He is now gone.

So, this is pretty amazing. The whole thing is heating up exponentially. Can you imagine? That the Republicans had control. My hope is that it's so obvious.

This is not a Benghazi thing where it was a fog of war. You have emails and laptops and pictures. And if you know what? And I'm going to play it naive. If I'm Barack Obama, I'm angry.

You having all these meetings about private deals when I'm asking you to work for me? A radio show like no other. It's Brian Kilmead. Russian news agencies say the chairman of the country's largest private oil company. Has died after falling from a hospital window.

Ravil Maganov is now the eighth Russian energy executive to die suddenly. This year. Luke Oil is one of the few Russian companies to publicly call for an end to Moscow's military operation in Ukraine. Russian state sponsored news outlet Innerfax and Reuters both confirmed he died from falling out of a window, but a statement from Luke Oil reads, Maganov, quote, passed away following a serious illness. Wow.

So the Russians kill everybody that disagrees, even high-ranking executives in the most powerful company in the country. Daniel Hoffman joins us now, CIA station chief in Moscow, Iraq, Pakistan, and South Asia. He joins us now. Daniel, you know Russia. Do you think these guys are just passing away suddenly?

Yeah, no, it doesn't seem like much of a coincidence to me. If you look at the chairman of Luke Oil, Ravile Maganov, who was in the same hospital where Gorbachev died, the word was he had a heart condition, but he jumped out of the balcony, and that's how he died. There were no CCTV coverage at all, no evidence. That and all of those other death murders it would look like seem to indicate, you know, that. That Russia's undergoing a real stress test domestically.

Yeah, the people are kind of acting as if there's really no war going on in the major cities. But make no mistake, Putin as his armed forces have really taken a hit here. Eighty thousand dead or wounded. And real questions about his inner circle in the Ministry of Defense and in his intelligence services.

So, this is sensitive for Putin, the energy, which is where Russia gets all of its income. And so, he's delivering a message, not just to the energy sector, but his own guys, his inner circle, that he's as ruthless as he ever was. And if you cross him, he's going to make you pay for it with your life. What is your take on some of the video that showed him on stage sitting behind a desk with his legs twitching? Do you think he's sick?

I've talked to a lot of leadership analysts. There's no indication that Vladimir Putin is suffering from any serious illness. Uh we should Certainly, I think, factor in the possibility that he's under some pretty significant stress. He's seventy years old, and even if he is in pretty good shape, he swims a lot, and of course, he's known for having practiced martial arts, judo. But still, You know, no indication that he's got some sort of a debilitating disease, as much as many of his own countrymen would wish that.

He too might wind up with sort of a a heart condition and uh might uh wind up being removed from from from his uh from his perch in the Kremlin or worse. You think he looks good? I mean, I think he looks terrible. Doesn't he look all bloated?

Well, he looks you know, he's a 70-year-old Russian man and the average life expectancy for a Russian male, I'll tell you what, in the nineties it was fifty-seven, if you can think about that. It hasn't inched up a whole lot since then. And even though, again, he's lived a relatively clean lifestyle, he's probably Suffering from all sorts of ailments, but none so debilitating, I don't think, based on the leadership analyst with whom I've spoken, that would lead to him to have some sort of cognitive. Implications on its cognitive abilities to run the country or physically able to lead Russia. Unfortunately, I think we're in for the long haul in this war of attrition with Russia's just barbaric onslaught raining down hell on Ukrainian civilians.

This is on us now, the U.S. government. We're the arsenal for democracy, and we've got to give Ukraine what they need to end this war and end it as fast as possible. More than we get. Either give them everything, don't give them some of what they need because it's just the torturous way which we're doing it.

Although we're writing big checks, if we did it all at once, they could strategize from what they knew they had, but we're not doing it that way. Yes, we do need to look, we should have been given them more when Russia masked all those troops back in April of twenty twenty one is when we should have started giving Ukraine the military equipment that they needed. We've started to open the aperture now, but look at all of the civilian deaths and look at now the challenge for Ukraine to retake so much of the territory that they have lost that they will now fight over. And meanwhile, again, Russia has targeted innocent Ukrainian civilians, hospitals, a maternity ward, schools and businesses in cities. And so President Zelensky has said, look, Russia is a band of terrorists, and Ukraine is going to fight on.

But our European partners have to be concerned about an approaching winter when in the past they've relied on Russian gas. and how long can they stay in the fight to continue to assist Ukraine? They've already seen a lot of protests on the street, but I wouldn't rule out that the Russian intelligence services had some hand in kind of fomenting some of those protests against European governments. But yes, we need to do better at this, and hopefully, we'll get some congressional oversight now that the Congress is back in session. We need to find out that the weapons we're given is getting to the people that need it.

The other thing is, Dan, is that Nordstrom 1 is going to be stopped. Nordstrom 2 doesn't exist.

So, Nordstrom 1 with natural gas flowing is going to be stopped. They said this for repairs, but we all know that's not true.

So, having said that, we're not doing enough to help out Europe with natural gas. They would write the checks. We have the fracking ability. Are we doing enough? Because I hear the President Uh the President of Germany was in The Chancellor of Germany was in Canada last weekend asking for more natural gas and basically got a stiff arm.

Yes, so that's certainly one thing that the United States and our allies are going to have to work out. And I don't disagree with you at all on that. Look, Germany has turned around its policy on nuclear power. They're leaving some of their nuclear power plants running even though they had planned to shut them down as part of their Green New Deal in Germany. But you're right.

Look, it's part of increasing the supply of natural gas. If otherwise, we're going to face some real issues with European population support for the war against Russia. And Vladimir Putin is banking on just that. that we won't be able to stay in the fight, that he can win this war of attrition. He just wants to hang on through the winter, and he feels like that will give him an advantage.

Whereas obviously, Ukraine wants to keep taking the fight to the enemy. And we need this is a component of it. The economic component, as you point out, is a key one. Uh there's A couple of other things. First off, are these Putin-friendly oligarchs also meeting with some untimely deaths?

And how do you make sense of that?

So these are you talking about the Luke Oil, which came out after the war began and said it was tragic and that the war should be brought to a swift end. That's not a good way to stay alive in Russia. Vladimir Putin doesn't like it when anyone criticizes His military operations, his intelligence services. And so he's making it clear to the rest of Luke Oil: look, we're going to be a subservient junior partner to China. We're going to export our hydrocarbons there.

We're going to make deals with Iran and with North Korea. And you people are just going to have to line up and do what I tell you to do. And if you don't, Then I'm going to kill you. And I think what Vladimir Putin did, I would estimate with a high degree of confidence, you know, that these eight. These eight kind of senior business executives who were killed in the last six months.

That's all a message, you know, to Luke Oil and to Gazcom just to get in line and do Vladimir Putin's bidding, or else they're going to end up like, you know, Rafiel Maganov or some of the others. Time Magazine has this story about a growing backlash against Russian tourists in dividing Europe because of the arrogance which they've shown. We know that for some reason we let this Russian tennis player play, but they banned him in Wimbledon. We let him play here, and we ban Novak Djokovic because he's not vaccinated. How do you make sense of all these mixed messages?

No, that's U. S. foreign policy, man. I was always glad when I was at CIA that we didn't do policy. We just recruited spies and stole secrets and left the policy to the State Department and the White House because as you said, yeah, you wind up with some of those mixed messages.

And when I was at CIA, we just kind of throw up our hands and go back to hitting the streets and doing our work. But I wish I could explain it, Brian, but it's just kind of the way of the U.S. government sometimes. You know, it's I personally don't think we should be allowing Russian tourists to travel freely. The Estonians have banned them, and that's a good thing.

But there isn't a consensus in Europe on that. And when it comes to tennis players coming to the United States, I wish that Medvedev, their one of their tennis players, Daniel Medvedev, I wish he would have stood up and said something about. Russia's barbaric invasion, but he knows he'd probably end up like those loop oil executives if he did. Russia, we lost our ambassador. He is now out, John Sullivan.

Is there a story behind that? No, and I'll tell you something, he's a real hero. He was Deputy Secretary of State in the Trump administration, acting Secretary of State while Secretary Pompeo was being confirmed. And then he took the job, a thankless job, to be ambassador to Russia facing all of the harassment that he did and the drawdown. He recounted how he would walk around the embassy and there'd just be rows and rows of empty desks because we just didn't have the people there to do the work.

We should be thanking him for his exceptional service to our country. He's from my hometown of Boston, so maybe I'm a little bit biased. But he did a three-year tour in Moscow. God bless him for doing it. I hope he's able to get out front a little bit in the media and talk about what it was like in Russia.

He's a real student of Russia, and we need someone like that, I think, telling us about what it was to be there and how he sees it. Daniel Hoffman, thanks so much, former CIA station chief over in Moscow and other places. Thanks, Dan. Back in a moment, we go live on FBN.

Now, the Brian Kilmead Show joins Fox Business's Varney and Company with Stuart Varney, live on your radio and on Fox Business. Here's Brian Kilmead. Hey, welcome back, everyone. It's the Brian Kilmeet Show. It's 10 minutes before the top of the hour.

We'll do something on FBN shortly. And then it'll be, so get on board because right after I'm done with Stuart Varney show, we part ways and I'll be able to squeeze in a few calls usually.

So call 1-866-408-7669. Keep in mind, we've got a huge event coming up September 8th. That's this Thursday, 8 o'clock at the egg in Albany. There's some tickets left, not many, but I hope to see you then. But let's listen in together now.

Just coming up on, it is now exactly 10:51 Eastern Time. You know what that means? Brian Kilmead joins us. Right, Brian. I'm sure you've seen this.

I just want to show our viewers again. Armed robbers in New York City rammed their car into an SUV and took 20,000 bucks off the driver, right there, right in the middle of Manhattan. And it happened, Brian, in broad daylight on the Upper East Side. You know, it just doesn't seem to be getting any better in this city, does it? No, I mean, the numbers are staggering.

For example, this seems like a situation where they surveil the whole thing because $20,000 in a car. Do you know anyone carrying around $20,000 these days? Even if you have it, you don't carry it. There's Venmo, and there's a thing called an ATM card.

So this is something that was done with choreographed. Number two, outside murders, everything is up in the city in terms of crime.

So murders are down, shootings are down, but in terms of grand theft auto, in terms of assaults, in terms of robberies, in terms of transit crime, it is all up. And what I'm saying now is talking about New York, but I could be talking about Philadelphia or Chicago or Memphis or any other major city in America. And that's really what this election should be about. Who's going to keep you safe? How are you going to keep most of your money?

And these horrific things are playing out on camera like they never were before because of the ring doorbells, the surveillance on every street corner. That's what happens in places. Like London and New York City, where you have the money to get the cameras, to get the surveillance. Brian, this is the day, Tuesday after Labor Day weekend, when most companies are telling workers, hey, you've got to come back to work, you've got to come back to the office.

Well, are people coming back to their offices in New York City when you've got crime like that going on in the streets outside? Do we know? Are people back to the office today? I think there's three things happening. A lot of there's huge pushback.

Major firms, major investment firms, really the people that watch Fox business more than anything else, they're saying we need you back at work. No more two days, I need you back at work. And they're saying, number one, I think some are lazy. Number two, some of them are COVID, still COVID crazy. And number three, I think they're worried about crime.

So, COVID, go see a therapist. It's done. Number three, when it comes to crime, you've got some legitimate concerns where people are not going to feel comfortable getting on a subway because transit crime is up. And evidently, we're only 60% of where we were in 2019 in terms of people hopping on buses and trains.

So I know this. I go to Penn Station three days a week usually when I'm not working late, and I notice I have never, even on primetime rush hour, I'm never looking for a seat. I always find one. That never used to be the case. You were lucky to stand.

Sometimes you wait for the next train up until 2019.

So there's still, and when I go on subways here in our building, I'll notice it's never crowded like it used to. And people are citing crime. And how do you fight the stats? Right. Sometimes you're the only person on the elevator these days.

That's a difference and a real change. I was watching Fox and Friends this morning, Brian, and I heard you say that California banning the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. You say that is flat-out criminal, the way California is treating oil and gas companies. Make it flat-out criminal? It's an all-above strategy.

That's what we need. Can you imagine if I said for now on the only way we're going to fly around is jet packs. And the only way I'm going to get to the moon. If we don't get to the moon, The technology is not there for jetpacks. The technology is not there to go to the moon for everybody.

Are we on a road? Yes. That's why you need all of the above. To tell everyone making combustion engines that they're out of business. To tell everyone that you're going to get to work, you're going to get to through your life on electric cars when the technology is not there, when it's powered by coal, and when the innovation and the material needed is in China, that is anti-American.

It is not in our national interest to be relying on China for anything. That is why this chips deal is interesting because Vietnam is getting a lot of it. India is getting more of the manufacturing from Apple and from Google and other places. But now you're going to go, give me lithium, China, give me all the coal, give me cobalt, give me all the necessary elements to build a battery that's going to be more expensive that we can't get rid of. That to me is criminal.

It's against our country's best interest. I don't care about anything about the country. I don't care about industry. Gavin Newsom puts on jail every day and wants to be president when every day. Decision he makes in California is making his state worse.

This is why everyone's leaving, and we don't need it nationally. 17 states will follow in his wake, and that is criminal. I'm glad you got it off your chest there, Brian, because I entirely agree with you. Thank you. Mr.

Kilmead, I must be here. Thank you very much, Kimmy. See? Right. Still ahead.

Look what we've got.

So there you go. 1866-408-7669. And by the way, what I was talking about, Glenn Youngkin's already done. Glenn Young evidently said that when he came in, there was a plan in place to have Virginia go along with what California decided. That means 2035 banning the sale of combustion engines or anything we're looking at oil and gas.

They don't drill like they should. Do you know? And I couldn't believe this stat. The Wall Street Journal had a story yesterday that popped up on my alerts, and I thought, wow, it's interesting. On Memorial Day, excuse me, on Labor Day, something like that popped on my alerts.

And they talked about energy. and oil and gas. Do you know this administration goes, Oh, we're pumping oil and we're doing things and I'm releasing of uh I'm giving the leases away for exploration and I give these leases out, but these guys aren't uh aren't using them and I'm going to take them away if they don't use them? Do you know that Biden has okayed fewer federal oil leases than any President who has been President since World War II? Just 126,000 acres.

Offshore drilling leases are down 97% from the first 18 months of President Trump. Do you know that if you look at all leases together and what Biden has done, He's 3.2% of what Eisenhower did. Do you realize we don't even think we had offshore drilling when Eisenhower was president? This guy is bringing oil and gas to its knees. You need oil for our computers.

You need oil to make jeans. You need oil to fuel your cars. And now you're telling the one state that's going oil, going full electric, to don't plug in your cars over the weekend because of the rolling blackouts in California. I am talking about California. They want us to go, they want to go all electric, but they can't even charge their cars that make up 2% of the total car population.

That to me is irresponsible. Live from the Fox News Radio Studios in New York City, fresh off the set of Fox and Friends, it's America's receptive voice. Brian Killmeade. Thanks so much for being here. Everybody, it's the Brian Kilmeo coming to you from 48th and 6 in Midtown Manhattan.

Heard around the country, heard around the world. Where if you listen close, you could hear illegal immigrants being dropped off at Port Authority. Miranda Devine is standing by. Brett Baer at the bottom of the aisle. Brett worked on Labor Day.

Did you see that, Allison? Bret was doing a live special report on Labor Day. Does he get time and a half? Do you know? Because I would have taken that offer if they were giving me time and a half.

I would have done it. You do need the money. Right. I'm I'm basically out. Uh but okay, Eric, great job editing because even my brother thought we were live on Monday.

Nice. Right. So he was found at the moment. Was he sitting with you at the time? Uh yeah, he goes, Oh, good show today.

Did you do the show? I go, No, I didn't do the show.

So it was kind of weird. But it's good that to know people were not You know, easily duped. Ag agreed. And that your brother doesn't know your schedule.

So. Intricately that he knew that you know what you were working on. We barely keep in touch. Let's get to the big three.

Now with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. We have that laptop in the Department of Justice and FBI for months and months before anybody knows it existed. That's why total transparency is important. I would think so.

That was Chuck Grassley, the plot thickens, the soon-to-be disgraced FBI agent Tim Timbolt was Tony Bobolinski's point man of the spiked Hunter Biden story. And the big guy, you know, the international finance scam, few knew about President Biden's role, more about President Biden's role than Tony Bobolinsky. And guess what? His contact was the guy that they told us had no contact with this whole plot. Number two.

That's a potentially explosive ruling if it holds. The Justice Department assumed that Trump only had attorney-client privilege, that he did not have executive privilege. But the problem is, it's not 100% settled. Right, Andy McCarthy seems kind of stunned. Trump gets his wish and a special master his name to review what was taken from his Mar-a-Lago home as we learned the FBI took his medical records, tax information, and even rifled through Barron's room.

Does that sound okay with you? Number one. Is you accept the will of the people when the votes are honestly counted. These guys don't do it. To this day, MAGA Republicans in Congress defend the mob that stormed the Capitol.

People died later. Right. Joe Biden, of course, referring to Stacey Abrams and Hillary Clinton, who said she was robbed and had the election stolen, and Stacey Abrams, who insists she never lost the governor's race. But she did. No, I guess he was meaning.

Donald Trump. Remarkable, divisive, angry speeches one after another. Joe Biden thinks that's the way to keep the House and Senate. I'm not sure that's going to add up. Let's bring in Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, author of Laptop from Hell, Hunter Biden, Big Tech, and the Dirty Secrets of the President Tried to Hide.

Miranda, welcome back. Thanks, Brian. Good to be with you. You didn't ever stop working. I read you on Sunday.

I couldn't wait to talk to you today, on Tuesday, about what you found out about what is going on with Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, and this investigation. Do you want to expand on what you found? Yeah, sure. Look, it's quite shocking. We already knew, thanks to the whistleblowers that have very courageously come forward to Chuck Grasley and Ron Johnson, the Republican senators.

But what we now have found out, and what I reported on in Monday's paper, is that Timothy Thibault, who is the disgraced FBI agent named by the whistleblowers as having suppressed The Hunter Biden information that came to the FBI before the 2020 election. He actually was in charge of Tony Bobolinski's material. He was the point man appointed by the FBI to manage Tony Bobolinski, who was probably the most crucial whistleblower when it came to the Hunter Biden material. Nothing to do with the laptop, but Tony Bobolinski had been the business partner of Hunter Biden. And he knew that Joe Biden was involved with this deal in China, this multi-million dollar deal with China that was detrimental to America's national interest.

And Tony Bobolinski being a patriot, being a naval veteran, much decorated, having top Secret security clearances from the NSA and from the Department of Energy. He decided to stand up before the election. He gave a press conference a couple of weeks before the election. And he told what he knew. He said that the big guy was Joe Biden.

He knew that because that was the way that Hunter Biden and his business partners, including Tony Bobolinski, used to refer to Joe Biden because they didn't want to mention him by name because he was central to this corrupt influence peddling program that the Bidens had been prosecuting throughout the world during Joe Biden's vice presidency. And Joe Biden was fully aware of it. He was involved in it. Even though he lied to the American people, and I don't say the word lie lightly, there is just overwhelming evidence to show that Joe Biden lied when he said during the election campaign that he knew nothing about his son Hunter's overseas business dealings. We know that he met the days after major business meetings that he had overseas from Romania to Kazakhstan to Ukraine to China with the vice president at the time, with his business partner.

We know that his business partner also. Was talking about who gets what when it terms to Joe Biden's taxes and Hunter Biden getting paid or reimbursed for things that he did or didn't do. But you talk about Bobolinski very interestingly.

So Bobolinski has this news 10 days before the election. And when the FBI goes to see him, because they realize they can't really deny him with that type of background, he goes to see him. They want him to go to a secret entrance. And when he goes in there, he talks to two agents and they got hands off to another two agents. But when he's done, he was given the cell phone of Tim T-Bolt and said, that's be your appointment from here on in.

Now, wait a second. His lawyer told us last week, Miranda Devine, did Tim T-Bolt, that that was the Baltimore office doing the investigation of Hunter Biden. But he never denies or brings up Tony Bobolinski interaction, does he? No, I think it's very curious. Tim Tebow, who abruptly resigns from the FBI last week because he's now in the hot seat.

Chuck Grasley has named him thanks to his whistleblowers. We also had Christopher Wray go before the Senate and say that he was deeply troubled by the revelations about Tim Thibault, who not only has been alleged to bury Hunter Biden material, but also was in trouble under the Hatch Act for some very anti-Trump, very partisan political tweets that he'd made.

So Tim Tebow resigns. That means, of course, that any Inspector General investigation that might be going on ends there because the Inspector General has no jurisdiction over former agents. Of course, he'll keep his entire, very generous pension, which I'm estimating is at least $80,000. And so Tim Thibault got his lawyer, a pro bono lawyer. That means for free.

He's getting legal. assistance for free from an enormous international law firm whose attorneys charge one thousand dollars an hour, but Teebo is getting this for free. His lawyer issued this statement. saying that he had nothing to do with the supervising the investigation of Hunter Biden because that's being handled by the Baltimore Field Office. And also the statement denied that he had any did anything to do with the laptop.

But he doesn't mention anything to do with Bobolinsky. Bobolinski is separate to the laptop. He doesn't have anything to do with the laptop. His emails are on the laptop. He's CC'd into the big guy email on the laptop that allocates 10% of a big Chinese deal to Joe Biden.

But he was not involved in the laptop or anything to do with its discovery, its abandonment in Delaware.

So he's come to the FBI separately, voluntarily, with bombshell information, even worse than the laptop, really. I mean, it corroborates what's on the laptop, but here is a highly credible witness who is authenticating what's on the laptop and has extra material, including the fact he met with Joe Biden. And I know you had the laptop from Helen. I'm not going to say anything bad about that. But as you mentioned, Tony Bobolinski is one-stop shopping.

If you just had Bobolinski in all his emails and he turned over his phone and all the correspondence. And all the numbers and the text messages. You don't even need the laptop to understand Joe Biden's involvement in it. And the way he went under oath, went for five hours to the FBI, went to the Senate Intelligence Committee, went to Ron Johnson, went to Grassley, then up pops these at least 12 FBI agents that outed you.

So if you say I don't want to affect the election, but this is a real story, but instead, they not only froze the story, they said it was classic Russian disinformation, which they know is a lie. And if Tim Thibault said that, that is nothing short of a lie.

So Bob Olinski never won in front of the grand jury. How could you do a legitimate now four-year investigation and not bring in the guy that was the business partner of Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and Jim Biden and not bring him in and find out what he had to say with his background, who's given to both Democrats and Republicans, international business person who has served in the military as an officer and has the highest level of security? Clearance. Joe Biden has never been asked this question. Do you know Tony Bobolinski?

What do you think he would say to that? He'd probably lie because he lies about everything. He's lied about this story and he gets away with it. He doesn't make himself available for interviews except to friendlies and they never ask these questions. I mean, you have to realize if you search CNN for Tony Bobolinski's name, it doesn't exist.

He doesn't exist for half of the country. They don't know who he is. He is. He is a guy who is so honorable, he thought that he would take his information to the FBI and they would do something about it. They had it 11 days before the election.

He had a five and a half hour interview in Washington, D.C. at the Washington Field Office. He went there. He also handed over the contents of three of his phones. The FBI had that, just like they had the laptop from December 2019, and it just fell into the same black hole as the laptop, all of Tony Bobolinski's material.

And, you know, in the interest of national security, it was the duty of the FBI to investigate this very credible evidence from a very credible inside witness whistleblower, which suggested that Joe Biden. Candidate for president may have been compromised by China at the very least with the millions of dollars that was paid to his family. And the FBI buried this story. They have not done the investigation. You mentioned the grand jury, which has been running for four years into Hunter Biden over tax evasion money laundering.

That is the biggest joke. Can you imagine a four-year investigation when you have everything out there, including information? Where is all this money, by the way? Where is this money? Is it in that mansion or that compound that Joe Biden, a career senator, made $200,000 a year his entire life?

Is it in there? Where is this $9 million? Where is this zillion dollars? Why is he living in the spare room of a billionaire in Malibu, Hunter Biden? Did he actually spend it on crack or hookers or both?

But a lot of the money went to his family.

So I have to find the last $50 I have for my taxes. I don't understand how does he get away with it? Mm-hmm.

Well, you know, he had to pay $2.8 million in back taxes to try and get out of this grand jury investigation, this probe by the U.S. Attorney David Weiss in Delaware. And, you know, a lot of that money we know basically went up in smoke, literally, because he smoked so much crack during these years. It was very expensive. He was very wasteful with money.

He hid money, he hid diamonds from his wife. He was going through a divorce. But we also know, just a tiny bit of information from the laptop, that he was paying some of his father's maintenance bills at Joe Biden's mansion in Delaware, things like building a retaining wall or fixing shutters or fixing air conditioning. We know that he and his father had. Shared finances, they co-mingled finances, they shared bank accounts.

So, you know, that's why you need to have proper investigators with subpoena power, with the ability to look into bank accounts and follow the money trail. And that's not been happening. I mean, the FBI, whatever's going on in Delaware, the fact that that grand jury did not call the star witness, Tony Bobolinski, it says it all. Why did Tony Bobolinski not testify? We know that at least one of the witnesses before the grand jury last year was asked.

Who is the big guy? And the person who knows that is Tony Bobolinski, and he was willing to testify. It's outrageous. There is a cover-up. And I think with all these things, the cover-up.

Ends up being just as bad a story as the original story. I want you to hear Chuck Grassley, Cut 18. We have that laptop in the Department of Justice and FBI for months and months before anybody knows it existed. And we're told that there were people who said, don't touch the laptop. Are they an enforcement agency or aren't they?

Are they using political bias or not? That's why total transparency is important. And lastly, New York Post in an editorial today calling on Christopher Wray to be responsible for this. We're worthy this entire time. If it wasn't his fault, does he ever discover anything that you don't write in a book or that isn't discovered by the Senate?

If he's supposed to investigate crime and stop the next terror attack, he can't even get a hold of what's happening in his own building. Final thought?

Well, Christopher Wray is definitely culpable, but he's not interested in talking or being transparent. He ran away the last time he was called to the Senate last month, really disrespectfully, told them that he had to get somewhere on his private jet.

Well, the somewhere that he had to get to on the FBI's private jet paid for by taxpayers was going on holidays in the Adirondacks.

So he has zero credibility. All he does is stonewall. If he didn't know about this cover-up, he should be tearing the agency apart and making heads wrong. And he doesn't. If he could, no.

Miranda, we have so much to go over, but thanks for leading the charge here. I mean, you keep hitting the moving this story with facts, not opinion, and I appreciate it. Thanks, Brian. 1866-408-7669. Bottom of the hour, Brett Bear.

But next, I want to get your opinion on this. And, of course, top of the hour, I'm on outnumber. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead. Hey, welcome back, everybody.

I'll be taking your calls by Brett Baer on shortly. But Miranda Devine, I mean, to think that this one newspaper that had their Twitter account and their Facebook account and everything suspended is still moving this story forward, and that CNN has one reporter come out. And tweet something that Hunter Biden, there's legitimate questions about Hunter Biden that need to be answered. And I'm just paraphrasing it. And Sarah Seidner, and she's gotten blitzed.

What happened to CNN? I'm watching CNN whole site change. Are they going to place Anderson Cooper with Rick Santorum? I'm going, whoa, whoa, what just happened? What's going on here?

She didn't even get the story. Most people that follow the Hunter Biden story are only following Hunter Biden outside this channel. But the story is not Hunter Biden. He is at the head of a family that is cutting these deals with these countries And doing it, and we're exposed because this crack addict dropped a laptop off, and they also had a whistleblower, Tony Bobolinski, come forward and say, I've been doing these deals with these guys, and I'm coming forward because they double-crossed me in the middle of doing these deals. I realized they were double-dealing on me.

And they're trading on the country, and he's fundamentally a patriot who's been an officer in the military, Penn State wrestler. who already made enough money. He doesn't need the money. He wanted to do the right thing, and everyone ignored him.

So he's wondering: wow, did I just risk my reputation for that? Brett Bairnx, Brian Kilmicho. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Not every Republican is a MAGA Republican.

Not every Republican embraces that extreme ideology. I know because I've been able to work with mainstreaming publics in my whole career. But the extreme migrant Republican in Congress have chosen to go backwards full of anger, violence, hate and division. The biggest contrast. from what MAGA Republicans, the extreme Right, they they The the trumpets.

They want to go to Congress. These MAGA Republicans in Congress are coming for your Social Security as well. Yeah. Yep, exactly. Donald Trump ran on that.

I'm going to take away your Social Security and your Medicare. and vote for me. Who's with me? I'm pretty sure that was it. Brett Baer, Chief Political Anchor for Fox News, Anchor Special Report, joins us now.

Brett, you're working on Monday, so I know exactly what's important to you. work, and I also know your area of priorities. What about this strategy that the President's been putting forward in his bloodred speech on Thursday and then the one over the weekend, where it's about MAGA, Ultra MAGA and Trumpers? Trumpists, or whatever he calls them. Trumpies.

So is this the strategy that that's going to be effective for him? Or do you think that the st story is true, that he's pushed back on his people that think it's a bad idea? Yeah, that's what we're hearing is that he's going full in on this, and there is some skepticism about it in that. Half of America may not identify directly as MAGA Republicans, but they did identify with MAGA policies. And so you start crossing the streams here and people get confused.

And uh for a guy who said he's a uniter, um this is fairly dividing.

Now You can go all that's what the critics are saying, that's what you know, that it's not going to work. They've determined in the inner circle and President Biden that this is where they're going and that's one of the pitches they're going to make. Here's what we did legislatively, and here's the bad guys that you can't let get in office because they're a threat to democracy. I think that um You know, if you're gonna go down that road, you have to sit down for some interviews. you have to do a press conference.

This President has not had a one on one interview with a journalist in more than two hundred something days. He has not had a press conference. in a long time, here or there, a screamed out question that he answers. But if you look in the modern presidents, He is way behind. answering questions from journalists.

or in a formal or even informal press conference. Yeah, it's unbelievable. I mean, there's so many things to go over, but he hasn't done it. He's had signing ceremonies, had COVID two or three times. Then he goes on vacation more times than I think anybody else in history.

Any recent president, more times out of the White House than any recent president. Think about this. You try 40 years to become president. You finally become president. You don't want to be there.

It makes absolutely no sense. And you're going what, ten miles away in Delaware? Or a few train rides. It makes it crazy. But for the for the for Joe Biden, it's very interesting because he wants to run against Donald Trump in the midterms.

And we'll see if that works. The one thing that might not be working, he liked, you know, Michael Goodwin came out and he's a columnist. He said he firmly believes that the whole raid is reliqueed is on Mar-a-Lago is linked. To this whole MAGA push, ultra-mAGA push, and trying to isolate Donald Trump's and try to split the Republican Party. There's no proof certain of that yet, but it does seem to see Drummond coordinated, even though the president said he wasn't even briefed on it.

What I also find interesting is that on the Mar-a-Lago raid, what's developed there, and it looks as though this special master is going to be in place. I'm sure appeal will happen, but there's going to be a delay. And if the delay happens before we talk about what the judge said. Does that get inside 60 days? Does that put everything on ice?

Well, I mean, that's their Ultimate goal is to do things, you know, well before an election, or so they said, in the wake of. twenty sixteen and what happened with the FBI and that investigation, it does slow things down. And you have to find a special master who can handle the most top secret Um Documents. And that's a s fairly small pool. Of people.

I don't think that Barack Obama is on the list, but he's somebody who could do it. Um I'm joking, but he uh I I think Listen, it does probably push things back, and I do think that the DOJ is going to appeal this on a number of fronts. For all the pundits who were out there saying this is ridiculous, why are they even bothering? It's so unnecessary. There's no way a judge will approve this.

And then here we are.

Now they're lambasting the judge, saying that she's in Trump's pocket, appointed by Trump. You know, it's it's a crazy circle of punditry. Uh the bottom line is it's going to take a little bit longer. One thing is pretty came pretty clear out of the hearing, executive privilege does matter and attorney client privilege does matter.

So the significance of that is matters a lot.

Okay, this is top this is top secret or this is confidential. Yeah, but um Executive privilege does matter, according to this judge, and maybe the special master. The other thing that came to light is a permanent. I'm just going to point out one thing, Brian, and that is that the classification thing, these are still. potentially documents that the government owns.

The former president doesn't own them.

So there is this Thing about the line of classified and executive privilege. A lot of executive privilege legal theory has not been tested. And it may be tested soon. Believe it or not, in the Steve Bannon case, that may. In appeal, go all the way to the Supreme Court.

And even Justice Kavanaugh just recently suggested there are many things the Supreme Court should probably. weigh in on an executive privilege.

So that whole thing is not over but the documents themselves Really do belong to the government under the presidential. Absolutely. And to me, from now on, National Archives, two lawyers on both sides, should be meeting before one page leaves the White House from here on in. This is totally avoidable. I don't think the president should have taken him.

Maybe he's got reasons for it. They should have turned him over and cooperated right away. I'll give you all that. But having said that, do you need to go into Barron's room or Melania's closet? Do you need to take the president's medical records?

Do you need to take his passports? And do you need to take his tax documents, all of which he claims is gone?

Now, the passports, they said he lied.

Well, they both said, sorry, we took him by mistake. You're there for nine hours. You got your vetting team, and you still left with all his stuff.

So come on, guys. I agree. And it's horrible. And they have to explain that action. And that's.

you know, on the beginning, the action of uh President Trump and those aides who take this stuff out or pack it and it goes. And then on the back end, what leads to this raid and how it's conducted and the fallout from it. I agree, Brian. It's a total, total mess. Right.

Again, it's an unforced error for the president who knows he's under incredible scrutiny and wants to run again. You want to play the perfect game. That's not the way Donald Trump runs it. But if you saw the emotion and the packed crowd in Pennsylvania, he doesn't seem to have lost any followers. I don't know there's another politician who can do what he does with crowds and passion that I've ever seen in my lifetime.

I don't care if he gets, even if it's 40%, I've never seen the passion like this before in any candidate. Real quick, on one of the accusations that they're accusing Trump of, listen to Karine Jean-Pierre, Cut 24. We were in a place where, again, schools were not open. It shows you how mismanaged the pandemic was and how the impact of that mismanagement had on kids' progress and academic well-being. I was stunned when that was one of the accusations on Trump when all he asked for after the two weeks to slow the spread, or 10 days, he wanted to get these schools open, and how the pushback was so overt, and they kept saying it's irresponsible.

Now they're saying Donald Trump shut the schools down, and that's the reason why the kids' success is so curtailed. But listen to this ad that Democrats ran in 2020. Desperate to reopen schools because he thinks it will save his re-election. We have to open the schools' critical shortage of PPE. Threatening their funding.

When they don't open their schools, we're not going to fund them. Ignoring how the virus spreads, risking teachers' and parents' lives, going against the advice of experts. It's had very little impact on young people. Oh. Do you trust him?

You can't have it both ways. You can't blame him for keeping the clues closed shut and then vilify him in 2020 for trying to open up the schools. No, it's really stunning and it's um Political jiu-jitsu trying to turn the whole thing around, but they forget that we have videotape. I'm not sure. Um It is You can't go back to that time and say the Democrats were pushing to open schools.

No, they were siding with the Teachers' Union, and the Teachers' Union was steering CDC guidelines almost word for word. That came out in multiple stories. And so, if you look back at all the cliffs, and we could play it for a half an hour. Not only candidate Joe Biden, but other Democrats, Nancy Pelosi, others. uh saying how you know this was The threat that they can't go back to school, and this is what we have to deal with.

And then Fauci saying there is not irreparable harm to Neil Cavuto just recently. And then the very next week, this study comes out about the irreparable harm that's already been done. uh to students back thirty years of progress as far as Um Education I I d I just don't think people are buying that, even though uh the White House Press Secretary says it. I just don't think that that's going to sell, and that's not going to be something that any Democrat runs on on the campaign trail, I guarantee you. They will run on Roe v.

Wade, they will run on threat to democracy. But I would be very surprised if anybody takes that bone That was thrown by the White House last week. Tonight, you have Dr. Oz on. According to 538, he's trailing by eight.

I know you do your own research for this. I don't believe there's an eight-point difference between the two. They're so dramatically different. If he was dealing with a moderate candidate and not Fetterman coming off a stroke who is Bernie Sanders in a hoodie, I'm saying to myself, you know, maybe there is. But to me, the people of Pennsylvania, the ultimate purple state, How could they be siding with someone so far to the left and against a guy that's so familiar to the entire country because he's had this successful syndicated show for all this time?

Because uh the Fedman campaign spent a lot of money on the pre-Labor Day ads and they had uh outside groups bombarding, you know, the whole New Jersey theme and got snookie to do a little New Jersey thing and it took off and then the crude, you know, video that Dr. Oz did, they jumped on that and they had a lot of spending.

Well, after Labor Day, Republican spending picks up. outside groups pick up. You know, endorser step up, Senator Pat Toomey, alongside Dr. Oz today, questioning Fetterman's ability to debate. There are vulnerabilities for Oz, however, and we'll get into some of those today, but we're going to talk about the substance and what the policies are that he's pushing.

And some of the things Federman's going after him on. We asked the lieutenant governor to come on. We have not received a response. We've offered town halls and debates. We have not received a response.

uh as is coming on.

So Van Daunts. This is really a Tuesday for Brett. For me, it feels like a Monday, but you work Monday because you needed the money. Let's be honest. It's time and a half, Brett.

Somebody a day off. Brett Barrett, thanks so much. Watch it tonight.

Alright, when we come back, I'm going to see if you need to know more, and then I'm going to go scramble up to outnumber Brian Kilmicho. The more you listen, the more you'll know. It's Brian Killmead. Welcome back, everyone. It's the Brian Killmeat Show, top of the hour.

I'm going to be on outnumbered on Fox News channel. I hope you watch. I'll be sitting in the middle. We have a lot of exciting things to talk about there, but I'm just looking at my watch. I realize you need to know more.

More. To know. Luke Combs said a really cool thing. Not only is he a great new country singer, but he paid back young fans who brought their own tickets to the show.

So, this guy, Bo Fenderson, he's 12 years old, and his friend Tanner stacked five cords of wood in order to pay for their own tickets in Bangor, Maine, for a concert that Luke Combs was giving. They made a hundred bucks stacking five cords of wood, bought two Luke Combs tickets. He's our dad's, he says, Man, he sounds good. Our dad swore it was a waste of time, but they were wrong. Today's my 12th birthday, and he put up a sign that said this: Today's my 12th birthday.

Oh, Lord, when it rains, it pours. And that's these are takeoffs on Luke Luke Combs' songs. Combs spotted the sign during his Friday show, sat down on the stage, pulled out $140 out of his wallet to pay the kids back for their tickets. How much are your tickets? He said, $100, $200?

You pay $200? How about $100 a piece? Oh my God, I got $140 right here. We wait, pay yourselves back. I'll get you some more.

And he told him to come back stage after. That is so cool, isn't it? No, that's fantastic. And I'm sort of to your point that you heard earlier on the show about Varney with the car crash with 20 grand. You're like, who carries 20 grand?

If Luke Holmes only has a 140 bucks in his wallet, nobody does that. Nobody does. With Ben Moe now, especially, no one does. Ever. And now, but you feel so bad too when you come to the ballet parking or someone helps you out.

No, I don't. You have to actually carry a smaller piece. You ask me for money. Thank you. Which is why I make sure I have it.

And I never pay you back. Half the time, but it's fine. It's really all good.

Next. San Francisco school district, guess how bad it's getting, are asking parents to rent out spare rooms to teachers because the teachers get paid so little they can't afford the soaring housing cost. The average price of a one-bedroom apartment went up 11% to $3,000 a month in San Francisco. That's why no one wants to live there anymore. San Francisco has got this great history.

They've asked parents with spare rooms to consider renting out to teachers. This unified school district, which spans the edge of Silicon Valley to San Jose to Fremont, employs 941 people, but they are struggling to keep teachers because of the scarcity of affordable housing. That's pathetic. Teachers in the district earn from $67,000 to $111,000. That's really not too bad for teachers, though, right?

Because you really work nine months a year. True, but when the cost of living is so high, but if like all of these people in San Francisco are working for Silicon Valley, why don't they figure out ways to pay the teachers more? Absolutely. That's a good point, especially with inflation. Landlords require more that a tenant earns more 40 times monthly than they earn.

So when you write down and you fill out that application to get an apartment, if your rent doesn't add up, If your money doesn't add up, the apartment super can't rent to you almost. Or they want someone to co-sign. I mean, who's still moving to San Francisco at these prices, though? That's my question. If you've got trades of the 49ers, what are you going to do?

I mean, then you probably can afford an apartment. Oh, good point.

Next. NBA Superstar LeBron James and Drake and Future, the rappers, and James' business partner Maverick Carter, reportedly being sued for $10 million after allegedly stealing intellectual property rights to a film about the segregated hockey league, Black Players in Canada, entitled Black Ice. The lawsuit filed in Manhattan. It says Hunter holds the suit. This guy, Billy Hunter, used to lead the NBA Players Association.

I know him. He's sharing, he's seeking shared profits for the film as well as $10 million in damages. While the defendants, LeBron, Drake, and Maverick are internationally known and renowned in their respective fields of basketball music, it does not afford them the right to steal, they say. Hunter goes on further to say that a deal was made behind his back between the accused defendants and the authors of the book, Black Ice: The Lost History of the Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes. I don't know the backstory.

But you got to feel as though this guy's got something to go on. You don't take on LeBron and Witch being, you know, this powerful mogul if you don't think you got something. Or you just hope they're going to settle out of court and you're going to get something. Right. I don't know.

That's true. But Billy Hunter is in the middle of a bunch of strikes, so he does have a pretty good name himself.

Next, Governor Gavin Newsom signs a landmark fast. We talked about this, Fast Food Workers Bill, despite concern of a driving up cost. This bill is called AB 257, created a 10-member fast food council with equal members, numbers of workers, delegates, employees, representatives, along with two state officials empowered to set minimum standards for fast food workers. The law caps minimum wage increases for fast food workers at chains more than 100 restaurants at $22 an hour compared to a statewide minimum of $15.50 an hour with an average cost of living. Who are you to do this?

I mean, if you're fast food, you have a certain balance sheet, now you gotta go do it. What they're saying is, we're gonna stop building fast food restaurants. Or they're just gonna automate the process, so you're gonna employ fewer and fewer people. I know. You know, I told you, Ruby Tuesdays, I walked in, no one walked up to me, they said your thing is like the old jukebox.

You just touch it all, you order it all, no interaction at all, only to deliver the food. Did you get what you wanted? Yeah. So it gets okay. You still have to tip.

They still wanted me to tip. I did. Generously. Put the power of over 100 meteorologists and the worldwide resources of Fox in your hands with the Fox Weather Podcast. Precise, personal, powerful.
