Supremely Dangerous: Rhetoric Leads to Assassination Attempt on Justice Kavanaugh

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 Kill Me Joe. This hour going to be joined by Jason Chapitz.

Don't ask me how I know.

Okay, he's here. Carly Shimpkiss at the bottom of the hour will be a breath of fresh air after I'm done with the congressman, who happens to be a Fox News contributor. You're watching him on Fox Nation. But the music indicates I should get first announced to you today is the big show: 8 o'clock. The January 6th hearings, and it's built for television.

I'm surprised, I would not be surprised if there's a big curtain revealed and there's a warm-up comedian to come out before, because this is really built for primetime. This stuff should be due at one o'clock in the afternoon on C-SPAN, but no, they're putting their big names and their biggest hits on right away. No joke.

So let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. You go back to Watergate. You had a public that largely trusted government. The threshold here is so high.

I think it's why they've hired TV producers. It's why they're trying to keep it to 90 minutes. It's why there's been a steady stream of leaks. What they're trying to do is grab the public by the lapel and say this is a much, much bigger deal than you think it is, whether you're a Republican or a Democrat. Nice try.

You should have real Republicans on the panel, like Jim Banks, who was supposed to be there, and Liz Cheney and Adam Kinziger, who are conservative, but just aren't acting like it. The January 6th investigation has thundered into a Broadway production, and the curtain goes up tonight, primetime. We will watch and tell you what we think, but I want to know what you think the aim is. Number two. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.

And we certainly continue to encourage that outside of. judges homes and that's the president's position. Unbelievable, supremely dangerous. That's how any rational observer would describe what's happening at the homes of conservative Supreme Court justices around the country. And it would be a would-be assassin was caught in front of Justice Kavanaugh's home yesterday.

This is President Biden predicts a revolution. No joke because of Roe v. Wade. Number one. Inflation is the th is is the is the bane of our existence.

Inflation is mostly in food and in gasoline. You know, my dad used to say every every family needs a little bit of breathing room. Yeah, we love hearing that story. I can really relate to it. President Biden did his first sit-down interview in over four months, and he chose Jimmy Kimmel to do it.

Did it reassure the American public that he has a handle on inflation, gas prices, and crime? No. But it did give his communications team something to do today, and that's walk back that revolution comment and so much more. Congressman Jason Chaffetz, I just, before the show, I mean, I was struggling this morning at about four to knock it down to three things. There's so much going on.

A lot of violence, a lot of talk of violence, and then the issues that people really care about, like inflation and whatnot. But oh my goodness, there's so many things coming out. And you're number one on this list, the dog and pony show, the 25 minutes of Liz Cheney trying to weave this together. I don't think America cares, and I don't think they're going to watch. Here's what disappointed me.

We're talking about January 6th. Liz Cheney is a conservative. I don't care. She has a problem with Trump, but she is not anything but a conservative. She voted with him almost every single time, and she understood that Trump was different than any other leader, and still she was in his corner.

But this was where the rubber hit the road for her. Understood. Adam Kinzinger, pretty conservative guy.

So. I thought they'd get on that panel, and when they started bringing up a lot of these agenda items that were nothing to do with the investigation, they started pointing out where were security, where were the requests. You know, this was, he did say, walk over peacefully and patriotically. I thought there'd be a little bit of pushback because when you sit down with it, they fundamentally always fought with Democrats on things like this. Not now.

Did it surprise you? It does. I know them both. I served with both when I was in Congress. But I think the disconnect where they should have walked away from this show that is being put on by the Democrats is when Nancy Pelosi would not allow Kevin McCarthy to appoint people to be the other side, the questioners, the Jim Jordans, you know, banks and whatnot, to actually be on the panel.

That just totally delegitimizes this thing into a one-size, you know, one-party push. I recognize that Kinzinger and Cheney have taken a very different position on this. I think everybody knows where they're at. But how did they buy into the idea that Pelosi and Pelosi alone would be the one to select who actually gets to ask the questions?

Well, we never thought that would be an issue before. Yeah. We've been having a couple hundred years it hasn't. It hasn't.

So that was one thing. Here's what Jim Vandehei started to say in our open Cut Thirty Two. I think we live in a much different world today than even those Clinton hearings, and certainly than Watergate. You go back to Watergate, you had a public that largely trusted government. They took these congressional hearings on both sides more seriously.

Obviously, the Clinton stuff was pretty polarizing in and of itself. But the threshold here is so high. I think it's why they've hired TV producers. It's why they're trying to keep it to 90 minutes. It's why there's been a steady stream of leaks.

What they're trying to do is grab the public by the lapel and say this is a much, much bigger deal than you think it is, whether you're a Republican or a Democrat. And you'll hear Liz Cheney and others say it is a conspiracy that goes all the way to the top to Donald Trump to try to foment this revolution or this ransacking of the U.S. Capitol to try to overturn the election. That bar is really high. It's one thing to say something on social media and they're very fixated on what Donald Trump was doing on social media that day, whether he was signaling to the Crowdboys and others to keep it up.

Uh Couple of things. If you look at some of those text messages, the most telling was Don Junior. Don Junior was like, Can you tell him to get on television this is not good? Tell him this is bad. If anybody would know about a conspiracy, so-called conspiracy to storm the Capitol.

It would be the son of the president who is very much in lockstep on the very rally. But you saw the text messages that Liz Cheney let out. Yeah, I don't think there is some smoking gun. There's no new witness that is suddenly going to be compelling. There's no imperative to be at 8 p.m.

and prime time and all those types of things. I think it's going to be viewed as the show and the circus that they want it to be. And I don't think, quite frankly, very many people are going to be watching. And one of the reasons that I think you're right is because we're overwhelmed right now with inflation. First time since I was in grammar school.

That we're talking about inflation nonstop and gas lines. And the gas lines aren't starting yet because not many people can afford to get in line. It's going to hit $5, maybe today. $5 on average. That doesn't mean it's not going to be $9 in California.

So these things are very everyday items, and baby formula is another.

Now they're telling us about pet food is going to run out.

Soon we're going to have rolling blackouts because of our power grid. We can't get cars. We know that because of the chips. And then you add to that the food prices because that's coming next. We've been warned and warned again that this is going to affect food.

These are everything. And that plays into why we don't care as much about January 6th. Yeah, exactly. But there's, there's, look, going back to January 6th, there's no new information. They are charging appropriately the people who stormed the Capitol.

You broke the law, then charge them. The Republicans aren't opposed to favor of that. You take a cop shield and you break a window and you climb through that window. Nobody's making excuses for that. Are you kidding?

Yeah, prosecutor. And there are lots of people that have been prosecuted.

So, yeah, I think they're trying to put on the show to try to distract. But the moment you go to the gas pump, the moment you go to the grocery store, the moment you try to go online to start to purchase something, you recognize that even though you may have got a 5% pay raise last year, guess what? That's just been washed away. You're making less than you were before. And it's exacerbated by the fact that by.

Goes out on Kimmel to try to explain it about his daddy. And guess what? Nobody's buying it. It just reeks of incompetence. You have the commerce secretary saying, we're out of ideas.

There's nothing to remind you. You can't do. And she's the golden child. She's the MVP of that administration. Yeah.

And so it just reeks of incompetence. They have no new ideas. There's no way to tackle it. And their only solution that I actually do hear them out there, let's go out and spend more money on health care.

So a couple of things that you just brought up. If I'm just talking about January 6th, to leave this behind for a second. Number one, I'm horrified that people do that. I really am. I thought it was super difficult.

And I've said this before. And I said to Pete Hicksett on the air that day, who covered the rally, there were 30,000 people there. They don't show the crowd. I don't know why. Huge turnout.

A bunch of people said they were upset about the result of the election. They saw the president got more votes than any other Republican in history, and they couldn't believe this terrible campaigner who's failed twice got $82 million. I'm not sure the intricacies of where the votes went. I'm not sure if there was a great deal of corruption. I have not seen it.

Having said that, For the President to have the rally and say march to the Capitol He is on the record of requesting twenty thousand National Guard. Number two is, now we have the Secret Service who came out and said the President was insisting on going down there.

Okay.

So they said he never intended to go he shouldn't.

So, if he's insisting on going down there, use the term patriarchally, write down go down there patriotically and peacefully. If he was there, Not in a million years would he have joined George Patton go ahead and storm the gates. No way was that the intention. You factor in those texts, that was an opportunity. For Kinzinger and Cheney to get some.

I don't know. Relevance And credibility. Because she could have said, listen, there's a few things that show this was not a conspiracy, and there's a few things that show this is. But she is just as militant as Nancy Pelosi on it.

So that, to me, is the stunning part. The person who's actually in charge of Capitol Hill Police is Nancy Pelosi.

So to have a hearing without her is incomplete. Remember, they didn't want to see that police presence. They didn't like the idea of the police presence everywhere. Remember, the White House was breached and the president was put into the basement. And they said, well, we don't like the idea of these cops around.

These people should be allowed to protest. That's right. And they're not going to bring in the Capitol Hill Police. How can you not have the head of the Capitol Hill Police? And why aren't they exploring this idea of the request from the president suggesting that, you know, there should be thousands of National Guard there to protect?

They are a resource. They're available. But they're not going to even talk about that.

So that's as much talk about January 6th. I'll see what comes out of it. We are horrified by it. If Hillary Clinton was a part of it, we'd be all over it, but we wouldn't overextend it. I don't believe we'd be sitting to drag it out because I believe in the big picture, America's got so many pressing issues.

Even look at Roe v. Wade, the attempted assassination of Justice Kavanaugh. Look at what happened in our schools in Uvalde. Look at what's happening with an illegal immigrant storming our border that's 32 miles deep and getting bigger, could be 15,000 in a week. And now you say, oh, two years ago, something happened.

We have to go over it again. I think it's a misplay. But when we come back, Bill Bruin, who's a former Obama White House official now with Global Engagement, who is a Global Engagement Director, thinks there's got to be a total reset for this Democratic administration. I'll let you hear what he has to say and have Congressman Jason Chaffetz weigh in. Coming to you on a need-to-know basis, because Mandy, you need to know.

This is the Brian Kill Me Show. For God's sake. This man cannot remain. We do not have a strategy of regime change. In Russia.

Are you willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if it comes to that? Yes. The United States remains committed to our one China policy. We do not support Taiwan independence. If chemical weapons were used in Ukraine, would that trigger a military response from NATO?

It would be It would trigger a response in kind. The United States has no intention of using chemical weapons, period, under any circumstances.

So that was just some of the walkbacks. I could have gone on at least for 20 minutes about some of the walkbacks that evidently President Biden is enraged that his own staff has walked back. justifiably because it seems as though he goes against his own foreign policy or long thought to be foreign policy. Jason Chaffetz with here with us, former Congressman Fox News contributor.

So the President last night made clear over the last two days his wife And his sister went up to his staff and said, Let Joe Biden be Joe Biden. Stop coaching him so much. Let him go out with the people more. That's what we're going to get. Yeah, more Joe Biden, more Cowbell.

That's what we need. That's going to solve the problems. You have one of the worst communicators as a president we've ever had. You've got Kamala Harris, by the way, who's a word salad every time she decides to speak. But how embarrassing that you essentially need to get your wife and your daughter to say, leave them alone.

I mean, who is running that place if not the president of the United States?

So Brett Bruin writes this column in the USA Today, and Brett Bruin is a former White House Global Engagement Director, and he just can't believe the mistakes he's making on the global stage. He thinks there's got to be a total reset. He's got a bad staff. He joined Fox and Friends today. Listen to, so when he went out and wrote this column, Jason, it was something you would write.

Some of the criticisms that you've said, and it wouldn't be a big deal, a Republican congressman writing that, but for a Obama official to write it, it's outrageous. Cut 36. The weight of his words matters so much more, and he's just been careless with some of these comments. And the point that I make in the op-ed is his team knows that he has this tendency. They are ill-prepared when he's made these repeated comments, whether it was on Afghanistan, on Russia, on Taiwan.

We have got to shake up that team, not just because of the gaps that Biden's continued to make and the lack of preparedness that they've had in response to them, but just the summit this week in LA and how disastrous this is for our diplomacy. The fact that we almost lost a strong relationship with France over a lack of coordination on the submarine deal with Australia. I mean, these are just basic, fundamental elements of diplomacy 101. What about D-Day? You don't recognize D-Day for two years in a row and then with the Conference of Americas coming to our country for the first time.

No Honduras, no El Salvador, no Mexico. Yet the biggest issue is clearly illegal immigration and bringing manufacturing back to those impoverished nations. Yeah, I he never did his homework or plowed the ground to make sure we weren't embarrassed like this. And we were supposed to get the person who had been in D.C. for 50 years, who understood all this stuff, who was going to bring normalcy back, and it's not.

It is embarrassing. Look, they have kept him in a cocoon. I mean, the Jimmy Kimmel interview after. Four months. Yeah, four months in the cocoon, and they still have to cover up for his gaffes.

Again, I think he got a poorly executing staff. who continually contradicts the president. It begs the question, who's really in charge. I think it's Susan Rice. I think it's Brian Dees.

I think it's Ron Klein. These are the people that are really, I think, running the show there. But if Joe Biden has a problem, then fire somebody. Make a change. Don't just wait to get shellacked at the midterms.

But he doesn't show any gumption that way. He hired these people in the first place.

So you look at Roe v. Wade, you look at Roe v. Wade being big, guns being big, and now this, January 6th. This seems to be the trifecta of hope for Democrats. They feel like they're on the right side of these issues.

You've been debating these issues for years. What do you think? You know, you heard the Democrats at one point when they gathered together and they said, hey, why don't people like us more? It's because the policies that they did implement have caused these problems. These are self-inflicted wounds.

The border was not an issue.

Now it is. Inflation was not an issue.

Now it is. Afghanistan should have been a proud moment for this country to bring our troops home, and we lost 13 on our way out. It was just an absolute equipment. What issue do you point to as a Democrat that says, yeah, this is where America really agrees with us? Even on Roe v.

Wade. They're not getting rid of abortion. They're giving it to the states. Guess what? New York and California and all you people that are concerned about it, there's going to be more abortion than ever in your states.

Right. Might have to pick up and go to a different state if you're there to do it, correct? Yes. In Utah, we're going to probably have one of the most stringent laws. In Mississippi, probably as well.

But you know what? Abortion is not going away.

So don't try to overplay your hand and tell some like inflation that you just fundamentally have right. Or say we can do it. It's okay up until the ninth month. Jason, I'll see you on One Nation this weekend, right? This is going to be a good show.

Interestingly, current ambassadors serving overseas as well as former ambassadors have reached out, thanked me for voicing some of these concerns. Because traditionally, you know, the national security circles here in Washington are a pretty tight-knit group. And that's the problem, is that Biden's national security team is cut from the same cloth. There's nobody in the situation room saying, you know, our assumptions need to be challenged on this, because if not, we're going to continue to drive into these diplomatic ditches. And that is a guy that you would think would have the back of Joe Biden, and if they had a problem, they wouldn't come forward.

But that is not the case. This guy, Bill Bruin. I went to the USA Today two days ago and wrote an editorial on how they really have to break up the White House. Brett Bruin, I should say. He's the White House Global Engagement Director.

He just went over this with Jason Chaffetz. But now he's saying the people on his national security team are thanking him. Ambassadors around the world thanking him for speaking up because they all think the same way. There's no counter thought within the situation room at the White House. And the thought that's prevailing is terrible policy.

Carly Shimkiss is the co-host of Fox and Friends First. You see her all around the channel. Carly, it's pretty amazing that Brett Bruin came on to talk about the column that he wrote in USA Today on our network. Yeah, without a doubt, it was a great interview. And it is a good thing that he spoke out.

And I think that he is spot on, especially when it comes to national security. And I know that a lot of focus gets put on some of the gaffes that the president makes when he speaks out. To be honest, sometimes I think that the walkbacks are more damaging than the comments that he makes. Because it underlines these mistakes or because you like what the president says. No, because I think that sometimes his reaction is coming from a position of strength, and then it gets undercut by the administration who sends out a message and says, oh, no, no, no, we actually didn't mean that.

Like, you know, President Biden, when he was in Poland, and I think that this is probably a pretty unpopular opinion, but when he said that Putin cannot remain in power, good. He shouldn't. Have the president say that, don't correct him. I felt like that would the comment that he made about Taiwan, spot on, scare China. And here's one thing that would be different about what you just said: when I okay the script.

I would say I'm putting that in there. And then it'll be in there.

So we have our debate behind closed doors. I walk out that door, I say it, and the administration says, Well, you know, that's the president said what he said. Instead, you don't add a statement like that at the end. You read the script, didn't you? We know what happened, didn't you?

So don't you?

So Why do you have to ad-lib that moment? Yeah, it was definitely. I mean, all those comments are, especially the one that he made in Poland, a moment of passion. And I think that presidents can be afforded those moments. But then there are these.

Do you think the president can be afforded those moments? I'm going to oust a world superpower. He said that Putin should not remain in power. Right. And I think that a lot of people were feeling that at the time and still are.

But it has to be, but that could be fine. But if I'm the president Either it's policy, if I'm on a vent, I go to my smoking room, I put on my tennis shoes, and I sit there and I vent to my chief of staff. I don't do that in Poland. I mean, the France leader came back and said, excuse me, that's not the issue. Because what's happening in Russia is they're playing, they're saying that the West wants to oust Putin.

He wants the world against us. We helped that narrative. If you decide to make it your narrative, it can't be out of raw motion. Yeah, I completely understand you. I think that the administration could have handled it a completely different way and said, listen, what the president was expressing is that Russia just invaded a sovereign nation.

And what he wanted to express was if Putin escalates or steps one toe in a NATO nation, no, we no longer think that he should remain.

So this Chesapeaudine, who was voted out of office by a substantial margin yesterday, I think it's so much bigger. I think it's going to ripple to Gascon, and I hope it ripples to Chicago, and I hope it ripples through Philadelphia. A Republican governor could fire Alvin Breck because it's in the ARC, meaning the New York Constitution.

So, what do you think the message is the Democrats are taking from Chesa Boudin's ouster? I mean, this is a big deal, especially because it happened in San Francisco. And you know what? I was reading about the ways that the voting, did you read about who voted yes and who voted no to recall Chesa Boudin? Really, the only areas that voted yes to have him stay as the district attorney were the Rich White areas.

Why? Because this crime doesn't affect them. But yet, did Jessa Boudin say this is the right-wing conspiracy? There was this clip that was played on Fox and Friends. You may have the sound, you may not, of that leaked audio of the jailhouse recording of the prisoner who is accused of murder, and he's on the phone, I believe, with his mom, and he's saying, I better get a, you better cut a plea deal.

Is that what he wanted? He wanted a plea deal because he knows that Gascon is also facing a recall, and he wanted to cut basically a sweetheart deal before that happened.

So if the Prisoners are afraid that you, as the district attorney, are going to get recalled and your soft-on-crime policies are going to go away, you are taking the wrong position.

So I thought it was always interesting when you have this guy, Brett Bruin, stand up and write that editorial. When Bill Maher comes and says the things he does, because it upsets the apple cart. When Joe Rogan, who famously voted for Bernie Sanders, says the only people that have my back are conservatives. And then James Carville said this about what you just discussed, Cut Eight. Democratic voters have seized control of their party.

The the people of San Francisco won last night. The faculty at Berkeley, the University of California at Berkeley lost. And you know, this is not unusual. They lost in Seattle, Minneapolis, Buffalo, Cleveland, New Orleans, New York City. a lot of people in the party and a lot of people that cover the party and influencers understand that the Democrats around the country live in this country and they they want a safe country and they want people to pay attention to them.

Yeah. I know, I think that James Carville has said a lot of smart things. He's a brilliant guy. He said a lot of smart things about the state of the Democratic Party, although it just feels like there are, it's becoming increasingly radical, and he's trying to speak for the more moderate wing of it. I want the president to say that.

I wish the President said that. Yeah. And something else that Carville has, he always talks about this too. He's like, and it's so true. Have you read AOC's tweets?

It's like she speaks a different language. She uses words that. Or not in the normal vernacular. It it's bizarre. It's all this like woke speak.

It's really hard to follow. You can't follow it, and you're that age. Yeah, no, exactly. I think we're almost this the exact same age, but it's like we're different. It's like a totally different species of people.

And she was talking about Latinx recently. She. Released this video, and she was saying that Democrats who criticize the Latinx term, which is like the gender-neutral term for Latino, Latina, or Hispanic, she was criticizing Democrats for saying that you shouldn't say that. Only problem is that like only 3% of Hispanics use that term. I asked my mom recently if she knew what it meant, and she had no clue.

Right. And your mom is? Oh, my mom's my mom's Puerto Rican. She's like, Latinx, no, what is that? I was like, Well, I guess you are that.

Right. Okay, I think I'm too bad after qualifying. Not everybody knows your mom. Oh, that's right. Yes.

We should know that. Oh, this conversation's. We're on. Oh, I guess this was just you and me. Absolutely.

Yeah. By the way, Father's Day is coming up. When we come back, you got to tell us the Father's Day story.

So it's just fantastic.

So when we come back about that, but before we close the door on where Democrats are heading, I don't believe James Carville was accurate in the way he described what happened in New Orleans and New York and other places, because there are different primary wins and there are different things that happen. Evidently, Adams ran on the pro-law enforcement crime platform, but nothing's changed. In these other cities, nothing's changed. That was a recall. That was, you had an election two years ago, and you suck so much that we can't deal with you one more second, and you lost by 30 points.

Exactly. That to me convinced me. And then, when you look what happened with the LA mayor's race, when you have this billionaire, former Republican, run on a pro-law and order platform. Got more votes than Karen Bass. Karen Bass, who's loved by the party, almost the running mate, and then her statement after winning to earn the runoff, talking about it's time for us to take back our streets and law enforcement.

Yeah, I know.

Well, it's contagious because people realize that that's what a actual Americans want. And to your point about you wish James Carville or President Biden spoke more like James Carville, um, I have never heard a more Um divisive In partisan interview in my life, than the Jimmy Kimmel thing that happened. We'll play some of that when we come back. Yeah, I didn't listen to the whole thing, I read it. I was up right before your show starts.

You watched the whole thing? Yeah, I watched it in the cat cab over. It was ugh. I mean, it's at one point President Biden was trying to make an appeal to the audience. He's like, and I'm talking to Democrats and I hope Republicans in this audience, too.

And I'm like, there are absolutely no Republicans in this audience. Jimmy Kimmel made sure of that. Yeah, I know.

I don't understand that either. I mean, listen, we've had this conversation so much, but it's true. Your ratings will be higher if you are funny and nonpartisan as a comedian. Because if you are even slightly to the right, you can't listen to what happened yesterday. It is just nauseating.

It was just this. Clapfest and just so so polarizing. At a time, by the way, when there is a real bipartisan effort going on in the Senate to pass gun violence legislation, and he's Railing against Republicans, you just have to wonder if that sort of speech will affect the legislation. Because if I were a senator, I'd say, listen, the heck with this. Couple of things.

I believe when you just said that member Joe Biden wants to take more control, maybe he trumped his communications team and said. Mr. President, you haven't done an interview in four months. You're going to get ripped if you first interviews with Jimmy Kimmel. I want to do Jimmy Kimmel.

Maybe he does it. Tone deaf to the attempt on Kavanaugh's life, tone deaf to the debate in Congress and the need for bipartisanship. Exactly. Tone deaf to even January 6th.

So we'll discuss that when we come back and find out how Carly Shimpkis was told by what Carly Shimpkis was told by her dad, one of the last times she got him a Father's Day present. Which might cost him his present this year. Back in a moment. Oh boy. A radio show of the people for the people.

The more you listen, the more you'll know. It's Brian Killmead. I know on the weekend show, you use a booster seat. How tall are you? 1.10.

You're 5'10. Yeah. Apparently, it's all from her sit here. And look at, I'm a short torso guy. Right.

And Brian Kilmead, he apparently just squishes this side of the couch so you sink in. But it is like you're sitting in a hole. Brian does have his seat because he sat in that space for so long, there's a hole there. There's a den. It can't be because it's try it.

Try it. Is there a hole? It's really comfy. Oh, okay. Yeah, this is a nice bed.

This is not the middle. Ainsley, sit here.

Okay, it's much more comfortable. Indeed.

Well, I'm glad you're here.

So it is. It is, right? It's squishy. See, in my defense, it's squishy. Ha ha ha.

So that's what you, that's my surprise, Allison.

So that's what happens when I'm not there? That's what happens on the curvy couch with you. When was this? I mean, Carly was there. It was yesterday.

Carly Shimkiss is here, by the way. Carly, when was this? This was yesterday, right? Yes. So Pete was filling in for you.

But the origin of this was when I was filling in for Rachel over the weekend. When I sit in the middle between Pete and Will. I appear taller than them. Oh, no question. And Pete doesn't really care, but I love Will so much.

But he cares. He cares. He really does.

So Dave, the stage manager, put a little cushion. Under each of their seats, so it makes them look taller than me, which I don't mind. I truly don't mind. But who outed him? Lawrence over the weekend and said and said, 'Cause he goes, What are you guys doing?

He is taller than you, Lawrence. Lawrence well, both of them are also taller than me, but I but there is a divot where you and Steve sit. Oh, yeah. And I don't think You think it's because? Oh, there's no question.

How how big? Pete's like two ten, isn't he? Yeah, I don't think it has to do with you guys wearing the c couch down, do you? That you'd have to be like six hundred pounds to do that. I think it's just the way the the cushion is.

I don't know. Does she know anything about cushions, Alice? It's like you never you never worked in a furniture store? No, but no, but we did a little investigating. No, no, no.

It's the way the couches, I should say. There's like a hole there. It's just I don't know. It's just the way it is. But anyway, wait I know that you wanna get you wanna move on.

The other thing is, just so I don't wanna lose this story.

So we mentioned about Father's Day in golf. And I think it's worthy telling the story. I thought you had the best idea for Father's Day. Your dad likes to golf. Yeah, my dad's a big golf.

So you had a great idea.

So I said, Dad, let's go to the driving range. Just, you know. Just us. Father-daughter. Father-daughter.

Great moment. Let's bond.

So we went to a driving range near where my parents live, and I hit the golf ball, and he looks at me, he goes, This is the opposite of a Father's Day gift. You hit it that bad. And instead of him helping you, he wanted to leave. Actually, my mom was there too, and she was like, Oh, Carly. My mom is so supportive.

She's like, Oh, my goodness. It was like I sinned. It wasn't good. I've never really done that before. It's hard.

I'll believe it.

So I missed it a couple times. And I have video on my phone, and I will show it to you. Who you post it? But only you. Where would I post it?

We post it on my social media. Can we do that? Half a million followers. I have more than that. Thank you.

Thank you to Elon Musk. Yeah, right. Yeah, I got a lot more on Twitter. A couple of things. You brought up the, I think that your dad was kidding.

He probably loved the fact. He did. He was joking. It was a fun, fun moment. Did you still have to get him a card?

Yeah, of course. You just not have to. You want to.

So listen with my family, get this. There's a big push in my family, no more cards. Oh, they don't really? Excuse me. We got to, I mean, at what point does it, we got to mark any occasion?

I mean, you've got to look back and remember anything from the shirt you gave me or the video game you got.

So I'm going to keep you up to date on that.

So just leave your number so I can constantly text you. You thought last night was a softball interview. Here's a little of President Biden doing his first one-on-one in four months, cut one. Inflation is the th i i i is is the is the bane of our existence. Inflation is mostly in food and in gasoline.

You know, my dad used to say every f every family is a little bit of breathing room. If you take and look at all the costs that a family has on a monthly basis, it also includes health care, prescription drugs, child care, all those things, what I'm proposing we get, and I think we can get it done, I'm proposing that we in fact reduce the cost of those things. By paying out more, upping taxes. Unbelievable. Yeah, yes.

Exactly. Totally insane. Let's pump more money into the economy during a period of high inflation. And it really was so divisive. Not funny either.

It was basically just a 20-minute speech by President Biden, rambly at times. And then he would say, you know, the Republican Party today, it's not your father's Republican Party. This is mega extremism. And then Jimmy Kimmel would tell a joke about Trump, and then they would move on. And then I think that the most telling part.

Was at one point, Kimmel goes, All right, let's talk about the issues: reproductive rights for women, climate change, voter reform. Where are we on those things? I'm sorry, what? What? Those are the issues?

Those are your issues. It's me. And of course, those are Jimmy Kimmel's issues because gas prices don't affect him. Inflation doesn't affect him. Crime doesn't affect him.

And really, what happens is those are Biden's issues, too. It's like. The Biden administration is being run by Jimmy Kimmels. And that's why he feels he seems so completely out of touch sometimes. Trevor Burrus: Well, you remember that Chuck Schumer clearly was briefing Kimmel.

About healthcare and do different things when Trump first got in office, because they had a lot more pull back then, and they would brief him on healthcare and talk about this and this, and this. And I'm saying to myself, there's no way there's not some collaboration. They were using the late night host to be organs of influence for the Democratic Party. And the Daily Beast wrote up this positive story saying, Oh, I couldn't read the. It said that, well, a lot of the criticism, there was like some jokes about Fox News, start right at the top.

And the Daily Beast has a headline. It says that Jimmy Kimmel proves Fox News wrong and goes hard on Biden. I need to check to make sure that wasn't an accidental onion headline that I read. Because it's a joke. It's a joke.

Absolutely. I don't think he did himself any favors. I think he's turned his whole White House turning on each other. Carly, I will never turn on you. I will never turn on you.

If you got me a golf lesson for Father's Day, I would absolutely take you to golf. Thank you so much. The record is straight. 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 Kilmead.

Hi, everybody. Brian Kilmey. Thanks so much for being here. This hour we're going to be joined by Mark Thiessen and Senator Steve Daines, who sparred with Secretary of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, said this was predictable. This inflation, these gas prices, don't pretend like it wasn't.

Also, today, tonight will be, we have that the big 8 o'clock Eastern Time primetime show of January 6th. Also, the President of the United States is going to be out in Los Angeles, probably still there with the Conference of Americas.

So important is it not one press conference, not one joint session, no attacking the core reasons for the massive illegal immigration storming our border, the poverty, the infiltration of China in the region, nothing about what Russia is doing in Venezuela. We don't have anything like that going on because the president didn't even prepare. These nations For consequences, if they embarrass us and didn't show. And didn't show? Honduras?

El Salvador. Mexico. Let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Sponsored by Life Fact, save a life in a choking emergency. Visit lifefact.net to learn more and use code BK10 to save 10%. Number three. You go back to Watergate.

You had a public that largely trusted government. The threshold here is so high. I think it's why they've hired TV producers. It's why they're trying to keep it to 90 minutes. It's why there's been a steady stream of leaks.

What they're trying to do is grab the public by the lapel and say this is a much, much bigger deal than you think it is, whether you're a Republican or a Democrat. Right. No, it is way, you're making it way bigger than it actually is. And if you want to get stuff done, you don't make it a show. The January 6th investigation thundered into a Broadway production.

The curtain goes up tonight. We'll watch to see what the aim is. To me, it's clear. Stop Trump from running again. Number two.

I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions. And we certainly continue to encourage that outside of judges' homes, and that's the president's position. Really, supremely dangerous. That's how many any national observer would describe what's happening at the homes of conservative Supreme Court justices. And a would-be assassin was caught in front of Justice Kavanaugh's home.

This is President Biden predicts a revolution over Roe v. Wade. Number Inflation is the bane of our existence. Inflation is mostly in food and in gasoline. You know, my dad used to say every family has a little bit of breathing room.

Yeah, right. Thanks, Dad. President Biden did his first sit-down interview in four months, and he chose Jimmy Kimmel. Did it reassure the American public that he has a handle on inflation, gas prices, and crime? Nope.

But it did give his communication team something to do today, and that's walk back a series of quips. One of which talked about. Revolution.

So, when asked about Roe v. Wade, and knowing that there was a leak that shows that could be overturned thanks to the Dobbs decision that could come out any day, the president was asked about that. And what actually could happen If that came down. And I was shocked to see the President actually say this: that if, in fact, the decision comes down the way it does and these states impose the limitations they're talking about, it's going to cause a mini revolution. They're going to vote a lot of these folks out of office.

A mini revolution? You use those terms? And the same day that we find out. That a assassin dispatched himself to Supreme Court Justices Kavanaugh's home, which has been well publicized and well protested over the last month. We told you about what Schumer said.

Now let me talk about this. There's a California man who who decided to go three thousand miles. With get this. Uh he's looking about 20 years in prison. A tactical knife.

a chest rig, a Glock seventeen pistol, two magazines, ammunition, pepper spray, zip ties, a hammer, screwdriver, nail punch, crowbar, pistol like duct tape, hiking boots, and uh and padding. on the soles of his shoes to be able to move in and out quietly. This is so well thought out. You think this guy is killed before? I would do a thorough scrubbing of his background before I went any further.

But he eventually would be spotted by two marshals at one point five in the morning, but would call nine one one for some reason he was still out at one point forty five and said he had suicidal thoughts. Mark Thiessen joins us now. Mark, is it possible to overstate the magnitude of what I just said? You can't possibly overstate it. And just think about this for a second, Brian.

Imagine he succeeded. And imagine That As a result, the Supreme Court was unable to issue its decision in the Dobbs case. And then Joe Biden. Replaced and assassinated conservative justice with a liberal who would vote the opposite way. changing the Supreme Court's decision.

Can you imagine the constitutional crisis? That would ensue. As a result of that, the uproar in the streets that would happen if that were allowed to happen, and just Literally hours. After This ass would-be assassin is arrested. They're allowing protesters in front of Kavanaugh's house again in violation of federal law.

They are not enforcing the law. This is insanity. The idea that we could, you know, and by the way, you know. Mm-hmm. Everybody's running around.

We're going to have this big hearing tonight. About whose purpose is to say that Donald Trump's rhetoric on January 6th. incited The The Capitol Riot. Wi on on March twenty twenty Chuck Schumer stood on the steps of the Supreme Court and said, I quote, I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you.

if you go forward with these awful decisions, end quote. How Is Chuck Sh is Donald Trump delivering a rally, a speech at a rally? In the capital. incitement to violence. But Chuck Schumer delivering a speech on the staff rally on the steps of the Supreme Court, not.

It makes no sense. This is what you're talking about, cut thirteen. I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions. And here's how Baras, Senator Barroso answered this yesterday, CUD 15.

I believe Chuck Schumer bears some responsibility because he has contributed to this atmosphere of directly attacking. members by name of the Supreme Court. Remember, Talking about abortion, Chuck Schumer went to the steps of the Supreme Court and he called out Kavanaugh by name. And we heard that. But they just ag this as a So there's nothing going on about this today.

The Washington Post has it a lead story. The New York Times doesn't. Yeah, they don't even have it on the front page. It's insane. It's like from their perspective, it never happened, not important, not a big deal.

Democrats can hold Trump responsible for January 6th, but absolve Schumer. of responsibility for the attempted assassination of Brett Kavanaugh.

Now Republicans can't blame Schumer while absolving Trump. The problem is that we the norms in our society and our political culture have fallen apart. The the the the the you know, they and it's putting lives at risk, it's putting our democracy at risk, it has to stop. You we we've got to pull back. From the abyss that we have here in terms of how we talk about each other, how we behave, how our leaders.

Interact? It's it's it's it's just uh you know it's insanity. And and you know, again. If the constit, you know, everyone treats the January 6th like it was a constitutional crisis, like our democracy was at risk. Our democracy wasn't at risk.

Mike Pence did the right thing. And even if he hadn't done the right thing, the House would have done the right thing. That our democracy wasn't at risk. Our democracy would be at risk if a Supreme Court justice was assassinated. And that literally prevented the court from issuing a ruling and changed the ruling of the Supreme Court from one decision to another because of an assassin's bullet.

That would be a real constitutional crisis. That would really put our democracy at risk. Much more serious than what happened on January 6th. And yet it's brushed under the rug as if it's no big deal.

So, Mark, how have Matthew McConaughey came to Capitol Hill a couple of days ago? I thought he did a really good job making his case, but obviously the hard part would be drilling down on something people can agree with. But listen, President, you saw that Matthew McConaughey said, I'm a gun owner. I grew up with guns. I'm always going to keep my guns.

But I always learned the responsibility of guns.

So at least he didn't walk out and say, we got to stop using guns and just give them all up like most people in Hollywood would. And then, of course, they'd go do a crime movie. Here is President Biden yesterday on this issue with Jimmy Kimmel, Cut 24. We're halfway through this year already. There have been, what, 27 shootings at schools?

I guess, I mean, just to get into it, why haven't we done anything about this?

Well, I think a lot of us intimidation by the NRA. Look, this is not your father's Republican Party. This is a MAGA party. It's a very different a very different Republican Party. And so you find people who are worried, I believe.

That if they vote for rational gun policy, they're going to be primaried and they're going to lose in a hard right Republican primary. There's so much wrong with what he said, but Mark, go ahead.

So, this is not your father's Democratic Party. This is not the Democratic Party of Bill Clinton. This is not who worked across the aisle with Republicans on welfare reform and got things done. It's not even the Democratic Party of Barack Obama. You know, a lot of us were worried that Biden would be a third Obama term.

It's worse. the third Obama term. What I can't seem to grasp, and most Americans can't seem to grasp, is there are a number of things on which there is bipartisan agreement. Improving school security, incentivizing red flag laws. There's all sorts of things that can be done.

To improve, why don't we just take all the stuff we agree on and put it in a bill? and pass it, and then argue about the stuff we don't agree on. And it's and the reason is because the Democrats who are in charge and set the agenda on Capitol Hill do not want. to give Republicans the ability to say they did something. And so they would rather nothing happen.

And they can keep the issue. To energize their base in the election rather than actually get something done that could be a police reform. Right, I do think something. Will be done in the Senate. I get that because Murphy's been remarkably diplomatic about it, but as a President that has 35 years of political experience, maybe 45, why does he make a speech like he did that night?

He knows it makes it harder to pass anything. And why make comments about a Republican Party being MAGA when you know, whether you like it or not, the President have been fiercely protective of the Second Amendment? From Bush to Reagan to Nixon. This is not new. Nothing MAGA about it.

Some. Focus Group told him by saying MAGA he'll gain Democratic support and using Jimmy Kimmel as a mouthpiece for it. No, it's it's it's because they're not he's desperate. Look, they have a I think there was an NBC News poll show, they have a seventeen point Enthusiasm gap going into the into the November into the midterm election. The last time they had a gap that big was in 2010 and they lost 60 seats in the House.

They are desperate, not to prevent the Republican takeover, because they know that's not possible, but to limit their losses as much as they can. And so they want to use abortion to energize their base. They want to use guns to energize their base. They're desperate to energize their base and hold on to political power. And so they don't want to get anything done.

As I was mentioning, the same thing was with the police reform in 2020. Tim Scott introduced a bill that had a lot of things that Democrats agreed to, but not everything they wanted. And they wouldn't even let it come up for a vote because they did not want Republicans to be able to say, we worked with Democrats to get something done on police reform. The same is true now. There are good guys like Murphy, who, by the way, said, Joe Biden, stay out of the negotiations because he knows he's toxic and he won't help.

There's some Democrats who are trying to get something done, but the president is not concerned with getting anything done. He's concerned with the collapse of his approval rating and the collapse of his party and the catastrophic response that he's going to face from the voters in November. And by the way, the NRA would love to think that they're intimidating people, but they are a mess. They they no one listens to the NRA anymore. But here's the thing: that people, we need to have a rational conversation.

We can't have a rational conversation on this unless people acknowledge. that two things. We have to be able to do two things. One, we have to acknowledge that school shootings are a disgrace and we need to do something to protect our kids. And two, that the right to keep and bear arms is a constitutional right that cannot be infringed.

We're not going to solve this by getting rid of people's rights of millions of Americans, law-abiding Americans, to. to carry weapons. If if somebody runs over intentionally, we've had incidents where peop where madmen have taken a car and run over people. We don't take away the car rights of the uh of the of millions of law-abiding Americans who drive responsibly. I think it's a good analogy.

Pass laws making car manufacturers liable for how criminals use their products. We have to be rational and just. Try and find ways to protect kids within the Constitution and the right to keep and bear arms. And that can be done. Mark Thiessen, write about it in the Washington Post.

I can't keep helping you with all these columns. I let you thrash around and brainstorm on our show. And then I see these wonderful columns. And I'm wondering when I'm going to go in your bibliography. Do you put bibliographies in the bottom of the columns?

I mean, it would be nice. Thanks so much, Mark. Always insightful. Take care. 1-866-408-7669.

Okay.

Expanding your knowledge base. It's the Brian Kill Meet Show. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Killmead. Let me give you a story.

There's a man in Connecticut that watched his neighbor have a home invasion and watches their whole family get killed. He built his own AR-15 because Connecticut won't let you buy them, but you abide by rules that allow you to build them. And then he has one in his house to protect his family because he never wants to see that happen again. He is a black man. It's odd.

Most AR-15 owners are former military, 35-plus.

So that's all I'm saying. They're not just crazy people. Here's the thing: once black people get guns in this country, the gun laws will change. Trust me. Yeah, what a joke.

These people only know racist quotes. Plenty of everybody has guns in this country. More than one to a person. Barry in Los Angeles. Hey, Barry.

Hey Brian, so uh Every Republican should be responding to Biden this morning because he's made this comment numerous times. about um It's not your father's Republican Party anymore. The response would be: oh, you mean the Republican Party that's going to put black people back in chains? We need to start throwing his idiocy back in his face.

Well, yeah. I mean, his own staff usually does. I mean, he went out of his way just to take shots, and he's not prepared for these type of unscripted settings. It's probably the worst thing he could do if you wanted to be successful. And there's nothing unifying about him ever.

So I don't know what he thinks he's doing. James Carville, I played this in an earlier hour, sounded more presidential than him. In coming out and recognizing that this country wants somebody stronger on crime and wants reasonable gun laws. I mean, that the president talks as if. He's the only he's got the only party in the country.

Peter in Connecticut. Peter, real quick. Hey, Brian. a resident of Connecticut, it really irks me. Oh, every time you think talk positively about Christopher Murphy.

he's not to be trusted. He's a snake. I mean, it's nearly impossible to buy a gun of any type in Connecticut or to buy ammunition of any type in Connecticut without a thorough background check and special permission from the government.

Alright, we'll see.

So far the track record says you're right. Peter, I'm hoping this time is different. Give me that. Give me a couple more days to see if this time is different. When we come back.

Our special guest, Senator Steve Daines, went with Janet Yellen on the biggest issue in America: inflation. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Joe. My question is, Secretary, do you agree with the San Francisco Fed that the nearly $2 trillion March spending package was a significant causal factor? in a high, increasingly broad base and accelerating inflation.

we observed this past year. Senator, we are seeing high inflation in almost all developed countries around the world. and they have very different fiscal policies.

So it can't be the case that the bulk of the inflation that we're experiencing reflects the impact of the ARP. That was a little of the exchange between Senator Daines and Janet Yellen. I don't know if she's falling on the sword for the President or she's just out of her mind. She has apologized for misjudging. The length of the inflationary cycle.

Joining us now, Senator Daines. Senator, do you really think she's caught by surprise? Didn't you have an interaction with her a year ago about this? Brian, we were warning the administration, the American people that you can't launch these massive cash cannons of borrowed money, trillions of dollars. into the economy without creating inflation.

In fact, remember Larry Summers, who was Clinton's Treasury Secretary, he was Obama's economic advisor, Larry Summers. was with us on this saying this is going to spark inflation. He was spot on. And when you see the San Francisco Fed, which by the way, Brian, is not exactly a conservative think tank out there in San Francisco. They said it caused inflation, and so they're in complete denial.

And don't forget, these are the same administration officials who said. The beginnings of inflation we started to see last year was only transitory. It was going to go away. They were dead wrong, and we've got to hold them accountable. Trevor Burrus: Well, you know, the President is being held accountable by Jimmy Kimmel, cut one.

Inflation is the bane of our existence. Inflation is mostly in food and in gasoline. And he goes on, as if he's not running the country.

So he feels as though he can't do anything. Gina Raimondo said the same thing: I can't do anything. Senator, what could you do?

Well, first of all, I had to laugh. I mean, he says, Well, it's only food and gasoline. That's like the two most important issues for the American people. When I'm back home in Montana, Their top three issues are inflation, inflation, inflation. And it starts with the price of gas, and it's the price of groceries.

Look, this has been imposed by this administration. Remember, hours after Biden's sworn in, he kills energy infrastructure by killing the Keystone pipeline. They launched these moratoriums on new oil and gas leases for Made in America Energy. They have bureaucrats and judges around the country that have sent channels. Chilling messages to the oil and gas industry saying, We don't want you to be investing in more made American energy.

And now the chickens are coming home to roost. It is terrible. The world is looking to the United States To ramp up oil and gas production. Look what's going on in Europe at the moment. Germany's electricity prices are going to be quadrupling from 2019 to 2023 because they banked everything on windmills and solar panels.

They shut down coal plants. They shut down nuclear plants. Look what the President said just yesterday. He says, we need to lower tariffs on solar panels. That's their solution, Brian, instead of making more made-in-American energy, which starts with oil and gas.

So the other big story, January 6th tonight. First off, what do you think the point of January 6th, these hearings are? No doubt about it, an ugly part in our history. No doubt about it. Mistakes were made and people acted like idiots in some circumstances.

But what do you think the goal is of having a prime time show? This is political theater, Brian. The Democrats are scared to death of what's going to happen in November. There is a red wave coming. We've never seen such strong numbers For Republicans and what's going to happen, they're sweeping so many Democrats out of office.

So, what do they do? They hire a former ABC TV producer to basically orchestrate this made-for-TV political theater. That's what it's all about. They want to be talking about January 6th. The American people want to be talking about the price of gas.

the price of groceries, what's going on the southern border.

So this is purely a diversion tactic on the Democrats' part to try to take away what American people are talking about, and that's issues of inflation, which the Democrats are. See, Senator, I feel a little different. I really think this is about stopping Trump from running again. You know, nobody's going to stop Trump from running again. He is the one who will decide that.

It's not going to be Adam Schiff or Democrats. That will be his decision. And I tell you what, I think it's a diversion because they don't want people focusing on the real issues in this country. And the problem is, as soon as this political theater ends for the Democrats in 24, 48 hours, American people go right back to their gas pump to refill their pickups and their autos, and they're going to find out that the price of gasoline only went up since this January. I mean, I never thought I'd see $5 a gallon gas, and we're going to see that as early as today around the country.

Doesn't mean it's not more where you are. More or the issues facing the country, according to Quinn and Piak. Number one, inflation, 34%. Number two, gun violence. It's half that, 17%, followed by immigration at 7%.

So I'm going to talk about Roe v. Wade. We know that could be overturned. Then we find out that with the leak, they're doing an investigation. It could happen in the next couple of weeks.

Kavanaugh, they're allowed to protest outside his house.

Now we find out about a 20-something would-be assassin is going 3,000 miles with knives, with guns, with zip ties, with hole punchers, with cushions for his shoes so he wouldn't be detected. Picked out by marshals at 1 in the morning, not arrested until 1.55, even though the marshals saw. And now we find out that Joe Biden still felt bold enough to talk about it with Jimmy Kimmel, cut 11. It's clear that if, in fact, the decision comes down the way it does and these states impose the limitations they're talking about, it's going to cause a mini revolution. They're going to vote a lot of these folks out of office.

A mini revolution? Is that somebody that should have taken the time to say what we found out earlier today is certainly disturbing and it's really something I'm now pushing for the Marshals to push all the protesters away from all the justices' homes, which, by the way, is illegal. Instead, he uses the word revolution. Can you imagine for a moment, Brian? Let's just put the shoe on the other foot for a moment.

Let's just say, for example, that that nut, It was arrested, a 26-year-old young man who was plotting to kill Justice Kavanaugh. Just think for a moment if he was plotting to kill perhaps a left-of-center Supreme Court justice. Do you think that President Biden would have had the same response on Jimmy Kimmel last night? Not a chance. He would have had a full-throated condemnation.

And listen, Brian, I don't care whether you're a Republican, a Democrat, a liberal, or a conservative. Violence is never okay. I don't care what side of the aisle you're on. We need to fully condemn.

Somebody who's trying to murder a Supreme Court justice. Where's that message coming from the President of the United States? Instead, he almost incites it further by calling for a mini-revolution. This is frankly atrocious, and he needs to be held accountable for this. By the way, that rhetoric we heard from Chuck Schumer ways back when they were, you know, back in December when they had the oral arguments, he was talking about the whirlwinds, unleashing the whirlwinds, unleashing the fury as he's standing in front of the United States Supreme Court.

This is dangerous rhetoric that's got to stop.

So right now, the President's approval rating on the economy is 26%. This Q poll, which leans left, Has him at a 33% job approval. One thing he said, and I'll just paraphrase because I don't want to hear any more of Jimmy Kimmel. But he was saying that Jimmy Kimmel says, You know, I want you to do more on gun control. Why don't you use more executive powers?

He said, Your predecessor did. He said, Yes, I'm not one to do that. I want to make sure I don't abuse my power like Donald Trump did. He doesn't use Trump's name. Do you know that he has signed more executive orders than Trump has at this time?

You know what he did the very first day? He signed 17 of them the very first day, and he sits there on national television, and I guess has short-term memory loss, and says, I will not sign executive orders like my predecessor. I mean, the the stuff he says is so ridiculous. Yeah, Brian, we needed you to be on Jimmy Kimmel last night to be bringing truth. To the deception this president laid out last night on executive orders.

And we're feeling the pain of that. Remember, one of those immediate executive orders was killing the Keystone pipeline. It was stopping oil and gas leases. We said, you do that, you are sending a chilling message here to stop Made in America energy. This is going to create higher gas prices, higher energy prices.

He needs to be held accountable for these actions. And that's why you're seeing his approval ratings in the tank, because the American people are seeing through it. Thank God they're not using Jimmy Kimmel and Joe Biden as their source of truth. They see the reality of what's happening. You can't deny the fact that we're heading for $5 a gallon gas here this weekend across the entire country.

And many think, Brian, that we're going to see $6 a gallon gasoline by the time we get through the peak of the summer driving season here and heading towards Labor Day. This is having a devastating effect on so many families across our country.

So we see that Justice Garwin, the person that was nominated to be Supreme Court Justice Garwin, who they told us was moderate, now they're going to be able to do that Now won't even push back these protesters in front of Supreme Court justices' houses and enforce the law.

Now we find out they're having prosecutions on those people who are accused on January 6th. And then we see Janet yell and say, Yeah, I'm sorry, I misjudged inflation. There's another story out there that she didn't misjudge at all. That she knew about it. She brought it up behind closed doors and people are ignoring her.

If that is in fact true, that is very similar to what you hear from the generals in Afghanistan.

So, what are you hearing is going on behind the scenes? Because Brett Bruin, the former White House Global Engagement Director, wrote a column in the USA today that would make your criticism of this administration look tame. He says they need a total reset, that they all have groupthink. Cut 36. The weight of his words matters so much more, and he's just been careless with some of these comments.

And, you know, the point that I make in the op-ed is his team knows that he has this tendency. They are ill-prepared when he's made these repeated comments, whether it was on Afghanistan, on Russia, on Taiwan. We have got to shake up that team, not just because of the gaps that Biden's continued to make and the lack of preparedness that they've had in response to them, but just the summit this week in LA and how disastrous this is for our diplomacy. You know, the fact that we almost lost a strong relationship with France over a lack of coordination on the submarine deal with Australia. I mean, these are just basic, fundamental elements of diplomacy 101.

So are they just imploded? Are they just incompetent? They all think the same thing. No one disagrees. What could get somebody to the point where They go public with their criticism of their own party.

Listen, I I don't think it's incompetence. I think this is just their radical ideology. You have got climate crazies. In the inner circle of this administration, you have got individuals that believe that foreign policy ought to be guitars and kumbaya instead of peace through strength. Brian, it's very, very dangerous because energy security is national security.

You get energy policy wrong, you risk the security of the United States of America. You get military security wrong, you risk the safety of this country and the world.

So these are radical leftists. Who are running this operation in the White House? And I can tell you, I know they're hoping to get shaken up, shake up the Biden team. The way to shake up the Biden team is to elect a massive wave of red in November of 22 and in November of 24 to elect a Republican president, throw these people out of office.

Well, I will say this: they were supposed to bring competence and efficiency and just to disagree on policy. They're not bringing anything to the table. And this Council of the Americas, without Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico, and I believe El Salvador, when they are the problem where all their citizens are blitzing their way to our country, where they don't even show up and not even having a joint press conference to answer some of the questions and challenges of the region. I mean, it's as if they just were winging it. It popped up in their schedule, and they're getting an appearance fee.

No matter where you go in the world, this administration is leaving wreckage as it relates to foreign policy. Just think from what's going on with Iran. is they're resurrecting that terrible Iran deal, somehow thinking that the Iranians just want to have a little nuclear uh power there for nuclear energy. No, no, they want to build an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of hitting the United States of America. That's the truth.

This is why what's going on with this administration is dangerous. We need to hold them accountable. I'm grateful, Brian, we've got journalists like yourself who are getting the word out there, exposing the reality of what's happening, because it's dangerous. Brian, we're the parents of four, grandparents of three. There's a lot at stake right now for those little grandkids of ours around what kind of world they're going to live in.

And Joe Biden is destroying so much of what we stand for at this great country. All right, lastly, what do you hear is getting done in the bipartisan Zoom sessions, which are now in-person sessions led by Senator Corner and Senator Murphy? Yeah, well there's a lot of discussion going on as it relates to the response to Uvalde, Texas. But I do not believe that what is going to come out of there is necessarily going to solve the problem. I just introduced a bill with a number of Republican co-sponsors that would take $150 billion of unspent COVID dollars for schools.

And redirect that to schools to harden the targets, to make them more secure. What's not being talked about enough, and I brought this up yesterday with some of my colleagues, is why aren't we talking about the school resource officer at that school in Evalde, Texas, who was not at his post? He abandoned his post for whatever reason. He wasn't there. I mean, basic security practices were violated.

Imagine for a moment in the United States Capitol if a couple of our Capitol officers just abandoned their post and left a door and we could walk in. And somebody came into the Capitol and started shooting. The first thing we would do is go back and say, we need to fix a security issue. It wouldn't be a call for gun control. Although the left always will talk about gun guns.

They have to improve the colours. They would talk about what we need to do to secure the Capitol. Why isn't that being talked about more? What happened to Evalde, Texas? Right, no, absolutely.

And I think that'll be a part of it. That's what I hear anyway, that Senator Cornyn's insisting on. Oh, we'll see what happens. See if Senator Daines, it's something that you could sign off on, or if there anything will even be presented to you. Senator, thanks so much.

Yeah. Thanks, Brian. You got it. Listen, we'll come back with you. 1-866-408-7669.

Holding our politicians' feet to the fire, no matter who they are. That's Brian Kilmead. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. The fact of the matter is, I do have to say that the rule of law isn't different for a Republican.

The rule of law isn't different for a Democrat. The rule of law isn't different. For an independent. The rule of law is what this country has been founded on. And we, as judges, are democracy.

It mandates that we pass the Daniel Andero Bill and that we do it now. Enough is enough. And I think that members of Congress can see the escalation in the numbers of threats against judicial officers. It's just got to stop. That was Judge Esther Salas, whose son was killed because was murdered by a disgruntled lawyer, didn't like her, and she wants to stop it.

And then we see this Kavanaugh thing happen, and for some reason, Nancy Pelosi won't let it pass the House, even though it passed the Senate, to give them additional security. Carol is on KQAM in Wichita, Kansas. Hey, Carol. Hey, Brian. I love your show.

Love your energy. I just I like what the um senator had to say, but he is wrong about J six. He thinks it's just to deflect from the midterms. They are after Trump. They are totally after Trump.

And This all started long before high gas prices. High inflation. Bad border. This has been going on too long for it just to be about the midterm. It really is, Carol.

I think there's a little bit about the midterms, but most of all, is to stop Trump from running again. For some reason, they know they can't control him. I'm not saying that Trump's going to get the nomination and win, but they are convinced that he can't be stopped unless they stop him now. 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 Killmade.

Hi, everybody. Welcome to the latest moments of the final hour of this edition of the Brian Kill Me Show, depending on what hours you take in what order. We're going to be joined by John Yu in just a moment. He's a fantastic guest and perfect for this. He's an anomaly.

He's a conservative, stuck out, not okay, I can't say stuck, but at Berkeley out in the West Coast, and he's witnessing what's going on there. He is the former Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel under the federal government of the United States under the Bush years. Sandra Smith at the bottom of the hour, the outstanding co-anchor of America Reports. That's all coming your way. And we know today the President's promised some big announcement tomorrow from the Council of the Americas in Los Angeles, which just on the roster alone on Who's Not There has been an epic fail.

We'll follow that because the president is still out there.

So let's get to the big three.

Now with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. You go back to Watergate. You had a public that largely trusted government. The threshold here is so high.

I think it's why they've hired TV producers. It's why they're trying to keep it to 90 minutes. It's why there's been a steady stream of leaks. What they're trying to do is grab the public by the lapel and say this is a much, much bigger deal than you think it is, whether you're a Republican or a Democrat. January 6th investigation thunders into prime time.

It's going to be a Broadway production. The curtain goes up about 8. It'll close around 11. Will you watch? Do you think the aim is to get rid of Trump?

I do. Number two. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions. And we certainly continue to encourage that outside of judges' homes, and that's the president's position. Wow, supremely dangerous, that's what it is.

That's how any rational observer would describe what's happening at the homes of conservative Supreme Court justices. I'm talking about a protest. And then yesterday we learned in the middle of our show, the would-be assassin was caught in front of Justin Kavanaugh's home, armed to the teeth with knives and guns. Number one. Inflation is the bane of our existence.

Inflation is mostly in food and in gasoline. You know, my dad used to say every family has a little bit of breathing room. So ridiculous. President Biden did his first sit-down in four months and he chose Jimmy Kimmel. Did it reassure the American public that he has a handle on inflation, gas prices, and crime?

No, but it did give his communication team something to do today, and that's walk back a series of quips. With me right now is John Yu. We got him up early, former deputy assistant under George W. Deputy Assistant Attorney General under the Office of Legal Counsel under George Bush during his years. He's now an Emmanuel Heller Professor of Law at the University of California at Berkeley.

John, thanks so much. Great to talk to you again. Hey, Brian, I don't get up early for anybody, but I will for you. I know. You're in your pajamas.

I understand.

So I just think, and maybe it's just hope, that Chesapeaude's recall is the beginning of the end to this lack of law and order in America's big cities, or at least the attempt to make people pay for their crimes. Am I overreaching with that statement? No, not. Not at all. I've been a resident here.

I've lived here and taught here for Almost three decades now. I have never seen such a rejection. By, I think, regular people, even the few who live here in the Bay Area. I think we live in the most liberal part of America. the people here are sick and tired of these progressive efforts to lift what have been successful policing strategies, that strategies have dropped the murder rates so fast and quickly all around the country.

And then progressives In a coordinated effort, including here in San Francisco, ran these progressive candidates for DAs. They put in these extremely soft on crime policies that brought us back to the nineteen seventies, murder rates, Property crime rates shot through the roof. Fox has been very good telling the stories of what's been going on in San Francisco with Ga yeah, these uh sort of gang attacks and smash and grab. Yeah, smashing grabs and CVSs and luxury stores. And look.

Boudin, Chasa Boudin, the DA here, lost by two to one. And there's no Republicans here in San Francisco. This is Democrats who have had enough. of the other. pro-crime policies.

So I think it's not just limited to Here in San Francisco. If the people in San Francisco accept progressive policies, it's going to be something that's going to take even stronger hold in more moderate and sane places. But this guy's a defense attorney. He had no experience to be the prosecutor, but he went in there because he was handpicked by George Soros, as is Gascon, as is Fox in Chicago. And we're seeing it in Philadelphia.

And we don't know where exactly Alvin Bragg came from, but it wasn't from a right-wing think tank.

So in New York City.

So I just think the fact that the liberals have risen up, and listen to James Carville, who got Bill Clinton elected twice, cut eight. Democratic voters have seized control of their party. The the people of San Francisco won last night. The faculty at Berkeley, the University of California at Berkeley lost. And you know, this is not unusual.

They lost in Seattle, Minneapolis, Buffalo, Cleveland, New Orleans, New York City. A lot of people in the party and a lot of people that cover the party and influencers understand that the Democrats around the country live in this country and they want a safe country and they want people to pay attention to them. You want separation between this. I think the law enforcement community won't allow that much separation. But when I look, John, at like a Bill Moore, On a regular basis, James Carville, pretty regular.

They're pretty consistent. They don't even recognize some of these issues that the Democrats have embraced over the last few years. But you are also in a unique opportunity, a unique perspective, because that's who your faculty is at Berkeley, and that's who the people around you who go to the grocery stores, those are mostly Democrats. Is there a separation between the Chesapeake's, the Gascones, and them? I don't think so.

But they're going to say there is. They're going to say no, no. That's just Some extreme wing of the party, we have nothing to do with them. But I'll tell you, these ideas that Boudin and these other Progressive prosecutors in the cities you mentioned, including my sadly my home city where I grew up in Philadelphia. These are just the experimentation with the policies that my colleagues and others at other universities have been promoting for years.

They hate the kind of broke what we call broken windows policing that was first used so successfully in New York City. by Rudy Giuliani, when he was a great mayor in New York, that brought crime down and it was copied by other citizens. And simple things like having the police officer stand a run a beat on the street, being able to stop and frisk people who look like they might have guns, being tough on gun crime. in the cities and instead and being tough on every kind of crime so that you don't breed a culture of lawlessness. you know, the people at Berkeley, I I love these guys, my colleagues, but a lot of them think that they believe in this mass incarceration idea that we have been too tough on criminals, we've got too many people in prison.

Well, we've had a two year experiment now. Putting their policies into effect. And like I said, even with the lockdowns, the murder rate in San Francisco went up over 35% in just two years. Property crimes went way up. You've seen the videos of people just walking into CVSs, filling up duffel bags, and walking out.

No one can stop them. That's the product of not just one or two prosecutors. This is part of the progressive ethos, their approach to crime and their I hate to say it, this awoke ideology that looks at crime as just another form of racial oppression instead of providing Public safety for neighborhoods, particularly poor and minority neighborhoods. You know, John, I go out of my way not to do like the easy arguments: oh, one party's good and all one party is bad. I'll give you an example.

If Harold Ford was running for president, I'd have a hard time not voting for him. If Henry Queyar had a chance to put his agenda forward, this country would be an interesting debate, have an interesting debate. He's the congressman from the border community over in Texas. Interesting debate on issues, an intriguing intellectual debate on where we go and when it comes to health care and when it comes to spending. Those are the good old days.

But between the ripping apart of the foundation of our history, the 1619 Project, this sense that the criminals run the asylum and we have no right locking up. Uh anybody who breaks the law This seems to be anti Americanism, where you put your hands up in the air and go, are you even trying to make the country a better place? Do you get the sense there's people who are putting policies in place who don't like the country? Brian, that's a tough question. And I think you're putting your finger on a bigger theme, of course, than just the progressive politics.

Idea underlying critical race theory, underlying the 1619 project. It underlines a lot of progressive thought you see. out there today, which is, yeah, it's a desire to criticize the country, to uh look at the things that made America successful and that we all love, it's an effort to make it all look like it was oppression, that it was working for the rich or the wealthy or for certain races or classes, which I don't believe. But if you think that way, then of course you're going to say one of the first things you're going to say is, well, it's the police that have been oppressive, and it's jails, and the way we run our criminal justice system. It's just an arm of that oppression.

That's not to say that police never make mistakes, just like any human institution will make mistakes. But the thing that strikes me as crazy is that we have had an amazing run. Before the Black Lives Matter protest, we had an amazing run of success. with crime, where murder rates in places like New York City and Washington were lower than they've been since before 1960. It's incredibly successful.

And we turned our backs on it and now because of these Ideologies you mentioned, Brian, and described that we've unleashed a wave of crime throughout all of our inner cities, and that crime falls most heavily. on poor and minority communities.

So again, often, like I say, some of my progressive uh friends in the academy they recommend Policies that they don't really live under and that harmed the very people they're trying to help. Exactly. They're doing follow-I don't know what it's called, follow backs in Beverly Hills, and they're following these rich people back to their homes and then they're robbing them and taking their cars. And that's when people in Los Angeles started paying attention. Oh, those gangs are killing each other.

But smash and grabs are in beautiful areas in San Francisco. Friend of mine went golfing, and before he was too early, they dropped somebody at the airport and they had a few hours, so they thought they'd go to Starbucks. In 20 minutes, their rent-a-car has every window smashed, and all their stuff is gone. And they said, what's going on? And the cops walked up and goes, this happens all the time.

So that's when it hit home for them. Like, what is going on out in San Francisco? But I want to bring you to another area which I need your insight on. Yesterday, somebody was picked up, and they've been charged with attempted murder of a U.S. judge and facing 20 years in prison because they were picked up with a Glock 17 pistol, two magazines, ammunition, pepper sprays, zip ties, a hammer, a screwdriver, a nail punch, and a crowbar, and a pistol, light, duct tape.

I could go on hiking boots and pads for their shoes. They planned on going to Justice Kavanaugh's house and, according to the would-be assassin, kill him and his family because they wanted their life to matter and then turned himself in by saying he's having suicidal thoughts. Marshall spotted him outside Justice Kavanaugh's house at 1.05. Inexplicably, he was arrested at 155. This was an attempted assassination, not even making the front page of the New York Times, and yet protests were allowed to happen in front of Kavanaugh's house one hour later.

Mm-hmm. How do you process this as a student of the law? I'm sorry to see this day. But I have to say, when I saw the opinion in the Dobbs case, right, the case about Abortion. that we're all expecting the next two or three weeks.

When I saw that case leak, Oh God, a part of me thought this kind of attempted assassination. was going to be a predictable consequence of that leak. Whoever leaked that opinion Put winning Roe versus Wade above the institution of the Supreme Court. They wanted to, whoever it was, wanted to politicize, turn the court's operations into politics. And if you believe what the leaks report that the court is now split five to four, on overturning Roe versus Wade and that we might see that because of this draft opinion.

And if they're people, Radicals out there who think protecting Roe is more important than our very institutions of government, like the Supreme Court. Then I was sorry, I thought there might be a crazy person who might try to knock off one of the justices. and that would destroy the five justice majority in Roe would be preserved. That's the way some of these people think. And I hate to say it, I think our government was slow.

I think there are two things our government should have done. One, they were slow to protect the justices, they are now. But you might remember, Brian, that just initially after the leak, there were people who were demanding more security for the justices. And it took the Justice Department under Merrick Garland a long time to get going. And then, too, there's a bill pending in the House.

to expand security for the justices and other federal judges, and it's languishing there. They are not moving forward. Speaker Pelosi doesn't want to do it. John Yu, that's out on the West Coast. Real quick, you know Justice Kavanaugh.

You served with him, didn't you, with the Bush years, John Yu? Do you think on some level he wished he was never nominated? No. In fact, I like to think that a justice like Brett Kavanaugh or others would say, this is the price of doing my job, and I will do it, even though there are those out there who are going to try to use force and illegitimate means to try to influence me. This should I hope make him have a stiffer backbone, because this is why you go into the job in the first place.

Not just the Supreme Court judge, but the federal judiciary as a whole. And so I expect him not to be influenced by that. And what about Justice Thomas? You used to clerk for Justice Thomas. Do you think he's wavering?

No. In fact, I think of all the justices, he's the one who would react most strongly in the other direction from this kind of attack. Look at his career. He's been under grievous attack his whole career, and I think it's only made him a more stout conservative, the leader of the conservatives on the court. John Hugh, can't thank you enough.

Appreciate your insight. Very consequential time. Thanks, Brian. Always good to be with you. You got you.

I know you wish it was later, but you chose to live 3,000 miles away. Thank you. When we come back, I'll take your calls. I see the lines: 1-866-408-7669. Diving deep into today's top stories, it's Brian Kilmead.

The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead. What was clear yesterday, they don't have a plan. It's to hunker down and to hope the storm passes over, but to do nothing proactive. I say that because fuel prices, which you just highlighted, are a major driver of overall inflation.

Now, if you ask them what they're going to do about the high price of fuel at the pump, they talk about decreasing tariffs on solar panels made in China. That is absurd. It is nuts. And raising taxes on corporation, insane. Raising taxes on millionaires, nuts.

They think that by getting daycare for people, I don't know, get more back to work, who knows, to pay for gas prices that are astronomical or to pass prescription drug plans. I don't know. Is that going to address inflation and gas prices at the rate they're going up right now? That's not a plan. That's an agenda that was rejected by your own party.

took the fall for many more. Center Kristen Cinema, and Senator Joe Manchin. And what the President decided to do yesterday is getting a total pass, but is outrageous. And I hope people stand up and say it. The New York Times, Washington Post, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, whatever, They have not gotten the interview.

Brett Baer at Fox, Martha McCallum here with President Joe Biden. What? Four months, no interviews. The first interview he gives is with Jimmy Kimmel. And I'm just comparing to Barack Obama.

Yeah, he did between two ferns. I get it. And he did some I guess some X, you know, Generation X interviews. I understand it. But he did other interviews.

He also interviewed with Bill O'Reilly a couple of times. I think he interviewed with Brett Baer as well a couple of times.

So Joe Biden's aren't even going through George Stephanopoulos anymore. The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead. It's clear that if in fact the decision comes down the way it does and these states impose the limitations they're talking about, it's going to cause a mini revolution. They're going to vote a lot of these folks out of office.

Mini Revolution. I don't know. Is that a good choice of words? Brian Kilmey back with you with Sandra Smith talking with a total lack of discipline. Talking while I'm talking.

How dare you, Sam Smith? Is that okay when John Roberts goes with you? I mean, to me, I'm used to professionalism. I was going to warn you, I'm a little fired up this morning. But you're always fired up because you, I mean, you're one of these people.

There's a lot of people that say, okay, this is my job, but you live these issues. Like, you care about this, right? I do. I do. And I thought the interview was interesting for many reasons, a little scary at times as well.

Many what do you mean by scary? A lot of the headlines this morning are making the case that he was gaslighting on the economy, touting how great things are at the same time. The reason why he's sinking in the polls is because of the economy, little out of touch with the suffering of the American people. Mini-revolution, I don't know. We'll see.

He seems to be. But do you say that hours from when you knew the Supreme Court Justice's assassin was picked up before he could strike? Yeah. And his acknowledgement that Democrats won power of the House, the Senate, the White House, and still they're making very little progress. He was airing his frustrations.

At the same time, making a major admission that he has not been able to lead his party while having complete control of government.

So, obviously, yeah, and so fair enough.

So, obviously, you look out into November, you've seen the forecasts. It's going to get. It's gonna get interesting. Here, Eric, play number two. This is what really Sanders is referring to.

Because I read the transcript before I watched this, and I thought, what is he talking about? We have the fastest-growing economy in the world. The world. The world. We have 8.6 million new jobs just since I got into office.

Unemployment rate is down to 3.6 percent. We've reduced the deficit last year by 320 billion dollars. This year, we're going to reduce it by 1.7 trillion dollars, trillion dollars. Right. We're the strongest economy and that's allowed us at least to stay on top of and a little bit ahead of what's happening around the world.

Tell that to the respondents of the most recent YouGov poll that found a majority of Republicans, seventy percent, and a sizable share of Democrats, forty percent, think the U. S. is right now currently in a recession.

Okay? The most tangible pain for the American people is economic Hardship. Yeah. Okay.

Savings are going down. Interest rates are skyrocketing. Rents are up. Housing affordability is going down. I don't have to tell you about inflation, the cost of absolutely everything.

Gas prices sky high. Food prices sky high. And there is about to be a big change when it comes to access. For food around the globe. We're already seeing a huge impact because of what's happening in Ukraine and the closure of those ports.

Can I just say emergency meeting between Turkey and Russia to try to open up those ports to allow the grain to leave Ukraine? I'm not optimistic. Not optimistic. But what now is happening, you've got the supply chain crisis, you've got diesel prices sky high, truckers just throwing in the towels saying they're not even going to commute, not going to transport those goods to the store shelves. You've got fertilizer prices sky high.

Big story, not on everybody's radar. The higher those fertilizer prices go, the less farmers can afford to buy it. And grow their crops. What do they do? They shrink their crop share.

All of a sudden, we are no longer. We're no longer growing and exporting as much food as the globe depends on us for. You're talking about potentially, and you've seen the UN and others warn on this, you're potentially talking about a major global food shortage right around the corner, Brian. I mean, so we think it's hard now.

So for the President last night in that interview to sort of talk about this rosy picture for the economy is completely out of touch with what we're seeing. And you have this business background too, so you're able to forecast more than most because I mean, that's where you came from that world. A couple of things going on. I think the one thing you learn in sales and in life and in conflict If you're going to talk to somebody and they explain to you what's wrong and you don't acknowledge what's wrong, you will never make progress and they think that you don't respect them and you're certainly not listening. The American people are saying We can't get baby formula.

We're alarmed. You're about to lose pet formula. We never have seen in our lifetime $5 a gallon gas, and everything that we buy is more expensive from the stuff you need to the stuff you were thinking about buying. And then you say, well, we cut the deficit.

Well, that's disingenuous because we just spent and printed all this money for the pandemic, which was not our fault, and you still don't blame the origins of the virus. And then you say, we're going to continue to do this, and we have all these jobs are open.

Okay, unemployment's low. But to not open up with here's my plan for the number one issue on every poll, and that's inflation, and the one B is gasoline, to sit there and tell Jimmy Kimmel for 37 seconds how great everything is is an insult. And with never an acknowledgement that any of this administration's policies on energy led to where we are today, how about the closure of the Keystone XL pipeline day one when Biden took office? How about our ability to produce oil here at home? I keep inviting Democrats on our show, and they're always welcome.

I had Seth Moulton on yesterday, RoCon on the day before. It's all reactionary. It's tapped the strategic petroleum reserves. Why are we implementing emergency moves when we have the resources to bring prices down right here? I have in front of me because I ask our brainroom to give me this every day, Brian.

This is astounding. The national average gas price records have been, records have been reached 13 straight days now and for 30 out of the past 31 days.

So, why are we still reacting like this is an emergency? This isn't new. This has been happening. And this is the result of a candidate, Joe Biden, that promised that he would end the fossil fuel industry in this country. I keep saying this as well, and I had Lucas Tomlinson make this chart.

I tweeted it out this morning. When you look at gas prices, don't just go back to Inauguration Day. That's not when gas prices started going up. Gas prices in this country started going up the day Joe Biden was elected in anticipation of the ending of the fossil fuel industry.

So what did he tout as one of his biggest successes last night? His transition to green energy at the cost of the American people. He left that part out. Right. We're not ready.

Electric cars aren't ready. The infrastructure is not even, not only is it paid for, it's not implemented. Debbie Stabenow's got her EV, though. $51,000 car talking about driving 350 all these miles without needing to recharge.

So I was talking to somebody who's a car expert today and said, you know, on the average, these cars, maybe a used car is seven chips. It's like hundreds of chips for these electric cars. We don't have the electric cars. They're not there. There's no replacement for the batteries in the first generation of electric cars.

So there's no transition waiting. The wind and solar are not going to do it. You're seeing that in Europe. And a lot of people in Europe are going, yeah, I don't even want the windmill near me. Do not give me a solar panel, solar panel pasture.

I don't want it.

So I want you to hear what Pete Puduja's Sunday because I thought about you and Martha because you have this business background as well. When he said this, It's been very striking right now. to see these oil companies who have become almost ridiculously profitable and you hear these oil executives on the record talking about how they're not going to increase production. Why would they? They're doing great right now.

It's why the president has called for a use it or lose it policy where if you're sitting on these thousands of permits like these oil executives have been and you're not doing anything with them, then you're going to be held accountable for that.

Now so far congressional Republicans have blocked action to do something like that but we think that's another step that would make a difference among the many, many steps the president's already taken. It's hard to hear this demonization of private business in this country. It really is. I mean, it's hard for. For people that don't know oil and gas, too.

They don't know that it's not a lease like a supermarket. Cut the ribbon and let's go drill. But that's the very rhetoric that is keeping them from tapping into these leases and drilling for the oil with prices where they are today because they don't know if the rules of the game will change midway through. And that is a risk-reward calculation that every private business has to employ before they take action.

So if there was even the slightest friendliest, you know, business-friendly rhetoric or environment created by this administration to produce more oil in this country, why wouldn't those companies take advantage of sky-high oil and gas prices? You have to ask yourself that.

So for what made America great, we did the history of oil and gas in this country. I don't know anything. I'm all ears, so I'm fascinated by it. I was able to go with George P. Bush about six months ago out to these oil fields to talk about what goes into it.

Love it.

So what happens is they also did something tried up your alley. They went to Wall Street and they said, stop recommending. Investments in oil and gas and fossil fuel companies. That's right. So the Johnson's down the street, the middle-class union member no longer has in their portfolio oil and gas stocks, even if they would make more money.

And now they want them to help.

So they say, excuse me, now I can't get any investment dollars. You told all these people not to work in oil and gas, too. You told generations it's evil.

So I can't get the 20-somethings to do this great living in Midland, Texas anymore that gives us great football and great families and great livings and great pensions.

So we're seeing this ripple effect. Then you go, okay, oil's too high. Guys, start drilling. Excuse me, stop drilling. You gave me a leash, you didn't give me a permit.

I got to get a permit. How long is it going to take to get a permit? It's going to take months, it's going to take years. By the time I get that permit, who's going to be president? What's the price of gas?

You have to guarantee me I'm going to get $60, $70 worth a barrel. And that's never guaranteed. Right, never guaranteed. But if you wanted to, could you do a warp speed type deal where you told the prescription drug people, you go to Told Moderna, I'm going to buy it. Even if it doesn't work, I'm going to buy it.

Because I want the result and it worked. It was a bet worth taking. I'll back you because right now it's $120,000 a barrel. I'll back you at $60,000. Drill for me.

And you know, I'm going to cut some red tape for you. But just do it. Can you do that? There's no deal. It's like you better go punch a hole, send the mayor of South Bend out on national television to tell oil companies what they're not doing.

You know what, though? They're not just demonizing the big oil companies. When gas prices weren't coming down fast enough, when oil dropped below 100, they were demonizing the mom and pop shops that have nothing to do with how these prices work. And by the way, 120 might seem pretty cheap soon. Goldman Sachs is saying oil prices are likely going to $140 a barrel and it'll feel more like $160 a barrel to the American people when you consider the price of gasoline.

But no fear, the EV vehicle. You mentioned $50,000, just so you know, with inflation now, the average price of an EV is up over $60,000. If you can get one, and let the meat cake Debbie Stabby. In her home state of Michigan, the median household income in her state is below the price, the average price of an electric vehicle. But she says that's the solution to sky-high gas prices.

I mean, think about that for a second. It's crazy. And she does that without inhibition, without realizing what she's saying. And I don't need to plug my series too much, but I also did the history of the automobile, and I was able to talk to the CEO of Ford. Love it.

And I said to him, he goes, you know, Joe Biden came here and he drove the electric car and I drove in it. They wouldn't let me drive it. But the new Lightning and they immediately put it up and they had all these sales, but they don't have the cars.

So I said, what's the problem? He goes, my worry is the rare earth. And I said, isn't it on Jim Farley? I said, Jim, isn't it okay for you if they're going to demand you do this? Aren't you going to demand the government give you the rare earth necessary to make the cars?

Because right now, China has all of it and they're taking over the African mines that control it like Congo. We gave it up to the bottom of the business. The lithium batteries, right? Lithium batteries. That we're highly dependent on China for.

And he says, yeah, I need the government to help me there. Not to mention, 61% of the electricity to charge those electric vehicles is coming from fossil fuels.

So who really thought this through? You know who's a great voice on all this? Bjorn Lomborg. I'm having him on my show today. He often writes about this in the Wall Street Journal.

He's not a climate change denier, but he said, we're just. Just not ready. And so you've got Democrats, you've got the Greenies, you've got the administration. They're pushing something in an economy right now that cannot handle it. We're not ready for this great transition.

And so it's the American people that are paying the price. Who else do you have? Today, top of the show, we just changed it. We've got Sherry Bustos coming on with us, another Democrat from Illinois. I want to pick her brain, obviously, about the agricultural markets and beyond.

A lot of talk about what happened yesterday with Justice Kavanaugh and the threat outside of his house. We've got a bunch of economic panels coming on the show today: Tom Homan talking about the border, Daryl Issa joining us, and one of my favorites, Governor Jared Polis coming on from the great state of Colorado. The Democratic governor will be joining us. And actually, we're going to be talking about him vetoing a bill that would have required EV chargers in new and renovated buildings, warning it could further raise housing prices across his state. It's amazing how people don't understand that.

Is a great show: how the ripple effects of their policy. How no one says, Okay, Mr. President, if I do this and you demand this, the ripple effect is some of those buildings won't get built and some of those businesses won't be able to launch because the leases are going to go up. They're not going to be able to afford it, though it's going to stay empty. No one ever thinks what the reaction is going to be to a policy.

It astounds me. By the way, did you see the new average rent price in New York City? Overnight, top $4,000. Right. So, in a city nobody wants to live in because crime's sky high.

Yeah. I mean, this is a mess. More people are exiting New York City and heading going to Florida than any other city. Listen, Sandra, you still got a few more minutes with us, right? Oh, okay.

Yeah. Back in a moment. Oh, do you have to go somewhere right? No, you're not doing outnumbered, are you? Just to hair and makeup at noon.

That's all.

Okay.

I don't think you need it. But the old days was Sandra Smith on outnumbered. Those were the early days. Oh, but did you just say that? Outnumbered?

Yeah, remember you were doing outnumbered? America reports 1 to 3 p.m. Eastern Time. Sandra Smith unnumbered. I'm saying now you have no reason to blow me off because the old days you would have run outnumbered.

I had to run at noon. I'm not that detached, I promise. Back in a moment. Learning something new every day on the Brian Kill Me Show. He's so busy, he'll make your head spin.

It's Brian Kilmead. I lost my only child. My only child had four miscarriages. Daniel was a gift from God, and I lost him. 22 months and 20 days ago.

Yes, I'm counting. I'll be counting for the rest of my life. And I tell you now. That we have to do something. Our leaders have to work together.

This is an issue that we all agree on. And you're talking about s security for justices, let alone Supreme Court justices. Sandra Smith, that was your interview yesterday. Yes, and that was a judge who in 2020 Her son and her husband were shot in the doorstep of the mouse. Yes, and her son was killed.

Her husband made it through it, her only son. Just a terrifying, horrific interview to hear her story that we all know too well. Look, I don't understand. I don't get why the Supreme Court justices aren't getting more protection and more security that they. Desperately need right now.

It was stepped up back in May. They get full-time U.S. Marshal Security outside of their home and elsewhere. That is more than they were getting. But this is this bill that passed in the Senate that's in the House gathering dust is to provide more protection for their family members.

Why would we not all support this? Stopped in the House. Dancy Pelosi will put it to a vote. Senator Williams on the record, Durbin says we got to do this. What's going on here?

I don't know. I say roll a scroll on any Democrat who's getting in the way of passing more protection for Supreme Court justices and their families in the wake of this. I had Mike Davis on the top of our show yesterday. former clerk to Justice Neil Gorsuch. He is a friend to many of the justices as well.

He joined us and he said, look, this is exactly what everybody saw coming. You go back to the steps of the Capitol with the megaphone, Chuck Schumer. He called for this. He tried to walk it back in the hours and days that followed, Brian, but he called for this: that there would be an awakening. Right.

It's unbelievable. I just got some news that's going to help New Yorkers with our WABC listeners, WRCN listeners. Mayor Adams, is this made mass optional? For preschoolers, believe it or not, in this city, you had, if you were a toddler, weren't in kindergarten, you had to wear it because your vaccines weren't eligible. Do you believe this?

Can you think about that? Two, three, and four-year-old kids that were still today, while we're all living our lives, we're still having these, and those kids are learning to talk. When does this start, Allison? All right, June 13th, it starts. It's got a couple more days.

Sandra, we're going to watch you from one to three weeks with the other guy. His name is okay, John Roberts. Thanks so much. That's America Report. We love him.
