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 Killmead. Thanks so much for being here, everybody. It's the Brian Kilmeet Show, 1866-408-7669. Admiral James Sarvez will be on in 12 minutes, and then we'll have Senator Roger Marshall, Health and Small Business Energy Committee.
But we've got to get him to weigh in on what is breaking in terms of what's happening at our border and what's happening in Ukraine.
So let's get to the big three.
Now with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. Ukraine is an epicenter of unbearable heartache and pain. I witnessed that very vividly today around Kyiv. The senseless loss of life.
the massive destruction. the unacceptable violations of human rights and the laws of war. And that is ahead of the United Nations. And here we're looking at insanity. Russia bombs Kyiv, and the UN General Secretary is meeting with the President of Ukraine at the time.
Right after he met with Vladimir Putin in Moscow, it continues to show how heavy a price And how dumb Vladimir Putin is, how the bloodthirsty invasion of Ukraine has blown up in his face, and he doesn't, for some odd reason, want it to end the latest from the battlefield. Number two. I shudder to think about if free speech absolutists were taking over more platforms, what that would look like for the marginalized communities all around the world, which are already shouldering so much of this abuse, disproportionate amounts of this abuse. Yeah, Nina Jakowicz, the executive director of the DHS Disinformation Governance Board. That was her on April 16th, flagging concern about Elon Musk taking over Twitter.
The Musk madness continues.
Meanwhile, this disinformation czar is birthed at the same time he buys. It comes on with the job. This woman, Nina Jakowicz, has no credibility, has repeatedly spread disinformation from the Hunter laptop to who Christopher Steele is. Way to go, Joe. This woman will divide the country even more.
Number one. Secretary, have any of the 42 illegal migrants on the terrorist watch list or no-fly list encountered on our southwest border been released into the United States? I do not know the answer to your question. Do not know whether they have been released or not into the country. That's your testimony.
Ranking Member Jordan, as I've said before, I will provide you the data. Unbelievable. Showdown, throwdown. Yup, Capitol Hill over the intentional collapse of our border and the sinister HHS secretary that won't even acknowledge it. We'll bring you the fireworks and the reaction.
You just saw some of it. Jim Jordan came to play. He came because he wanted answers. Listen, you told us, the DHS said, you found 42 terrorists coming across our border. Where are they?
is the most logical follow-up to that statement. What he said is so very wrong and unacceptable. He has no answer. Why would he have no answer? Why would he not think that we would all want an answer?
Why would Democrats not be asking that question?
So it What has happened at our border with over 2 million people coming aboard since Joe Biden took over power, since he stopped building the wall, stopped enforcing remain in Mexico, even though he had other policies in place, stopped pressuring Central and South America to keep their people in their own country, stopped pressuring Mexico to enforce their southern border, and started disempowering ICE. We've had a disaster.
So when the Majorcas came up, you better believe the biggest disaster in our history needed at least an explanation, cut one. We inherit broken and dismantled system that is already under strain. It is not built to manage the current levels and types of migratory flows. Only Congress can fix this. Yet we have effectively managed an unprecedented number of noncitizens seeking to enter the United States and interdicted more drugs and disrupted more smuggling operations than ever before.
A significant increase in migrant encounters will strain our system even further, and we will address this challenge successfully. Total fiction. It was not broken. A comprehensive immigration reform has nothing to do with border security. You could do that in the big picture.
That is not a quick reaction force nor an acceptable answer.
Now, when it comes to the tarot watch list, Twenty-two sexual predators were caught. On the border.
Now, I assume. They're captured and held.
Now I can't assume that because of this cut too. Secretary, have any of the 42 illegal migrants on the terrorist watch list or no-fly list encountered on our southwest border been released into the United States? Ranking Member Jordan, as I mentioned before, I will provide that data to you with respect to the disposition of each one. I do not know the answer to your question. The Secretary of Homeland Security does not know the answer to the status of 42 individuals who came to our southern border illegally are on the no-fly list and the terrorist watch list.
You do not know whether they have been released or not into the country. That's your testimony. Ranking Member Jordan, as I've said before, I will provide you the data. How could you not have the answer to that? And if you for some reason go to this testimony And don't have that answer.
You turn around to a staffer and say, by the time we're done here, By the time maybe the next question is, we'll have that answer. Unless you don't want to give the answer because you know they're gone. Unless you know that they got an ankle bracelet or a phone and were told to report somewhere. And you know how unacceptable that is. And you know you did not inherit a broken border.
You know you had a wall that is not a Viking wall. It was a high-tech wall that would have helped you do your job. You know that this was all paid for. You don't even finish the gaps between the walls. And it's all the suing that stopped the building of this wall at a normal rate would have gotten this done before Donald Trump left, at least 500 miles done.
instead of about 200. And would have helped the Border Patrol, who were undermanned, understaffed, and certainly underappreciated.
Meanwhile, he also testified to the fact there were 389,000 known migrant gotaways that are in our country. They just got away. Title 42 is about to evaporate. One judge says, no, you'll wait on that.
Meanwhile, the progressives are pushing President Biden to repeal the racist Title 42. What could possibly be racist about Title 42? It's insane. Darrell Issa. Talked about Title 42 and what it would mean.
He knows about the border, the California end of it, cut seven. When we were at the border a week ago, We saw that on your orders orders from Washington, but I have to presume they were yours. Title 42 has already ended. Your customs people were ordered to, and they were bringing in every day as many as they could get from down in Mexico, Title 42 people that had been refused, and bringing them back in. When I asked the agent in charge, she told me that they were trying to clear the backlog completely by May 23rd.
They didn't know if they were going to be able to. That is a clandestine ending of Title 42. Why did you do it? I am not familiar with that, and that is factually incorrect. No, it isn't.
And we already know it because the Border Patrol talks to us. They talk to people that care about their jobs and care about the country. They let him have it. We have him on video being blasted. And justifiably too.
Before I move on, Miranda Devine weighed in on Majorcas. And how this is intentional. What we saw during that testimony was a hardcore ideologue. What he's doing is deliberate. This is not a normal public servant.
He is committing a crime against America on two fronts. One, allowing these illegal migrants to flood into the country. He's flying them all around the place on planes at our expense and then bussing them into cities like New York, but everywhere. There's not one state that is not a border state now. They are doing this secretly because they know the American people don't want it.
And he's got 20 the President of the United States has 27% approval when it comes to immigration. That's hideous. That's Republicans and Democrats. When we come back, the other major story Uh overseas. And that is what's happening with Ukraine and Russia.
A lot of developments.
Some are heartening and some are agonizing. The heartening ones, believe it or not, come from Europe itself. You're listening to the Brian Kilmead Show.
So glad you're here. Diving deep into today's top stories. It's Brian Kilmead. Precise, personal, powerful. Is America's weather team in the palm of your hands?

This is the Brian Killmead Show. I think we should still remind ourselves, while the fight has taken place in the south, and it's going to be a very intense fight as these forces join, that Putin, I don't believe for a minute, has given up.
completely on toppling the entire country. And certainly the continuous bombardment is part of that strategy. We've always said there's two strategies here. One is the ground forces strategy to seize terrain and destroy Ukraine ground forces. The other thing is to break the will of the people by the continuous bombardment.
Well, that's how they started bombing did the Russians Kiev out of nowhere. They were kind of quiet there. And with the UN General Secretary there, which is what a message. Guy comes in peace. Obviously, the UN is hands off.
They just met with Vladimir Putin. He does it anyway. It turns out they're listening to transmissions between Russian officers. And it turns out they were talking to each other that 25,000 Russians have been killed already. And they've lost 600 tanks, it's estimated, on the Ukrainian side.
That is just in two months. Admiral James Stravidis is with us now, the 16th Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, member of the Carlisle Group, and author of many bestsellers. Admiral, welcome back. Great to be with you, Brian. Admiral, there's a big story today about how some of the border cities in Russia are starting to get rattled because Ukraine is starting to hit them.
Do you think that's a good strategy from the Ukrainian perspective? Because it could galvanize the Russian public. against the Ukrainian operation or whatever they choose to call it. I think it is a good strategy. I do think it's a close call for exactly the reasons you articulate, but Putin has.
Such lockdown of the media at this point. The Ukrainians have got to put additional weight on what they can accomplish on the battlefield. And to do that, Brian, as we've seen, the weak part of the Russian offensive capability is logistics.
So if you can go after the logistics sites, even those just across the border, I think it's a smart strategy. That's what the Ukrainians will continue to do. What is their what is What does their shed look like? How much do they have in armaments? Are they running out of these rockets?
We know they ran out of a lot of the smart weapons. On the Russian side, they are, in fact, having problems maintaining long-range fires. And so this is why they've gone to the Chinese, for example, asking for additional military aid. They're not going to get it. That's pretty clear.
On the Ukrainian side, our logisticians are moving fast, and it's a foot race into putting weapons in the hands of both sides. We're going to win that foot race. I think the Ukrainians will continue to be well supplied, the Russians less so.
So, stunning news that China is starting to buy oil from Iran rather than Russia because of the war. That's in the Wall Street Journal today. And the Germans have made huge progress in getting off Russian oil and gas, as is Poland and Bulgaria, because they got cut off. Where is Europe at now and truly adhering to this embargo? They seem to have seen the light.
They really have, Brian. You and I have been talking about this for several years, about the need for Europe, Western Europe, to wean itself from Russian energy. But Vladimir Putin, in a couple of weeks, has accomplished what all of us trying to argue with our German friends and colleagues, for example, over a decade. Putin has woken up the Europeans, and it really is like a light going on, and it's a very bright light heading down a tunnel straight at Europe.
So they are, I think, quite serious about this. They'll do everything in the short term, including balancing their shares of gas and oil. I think the Europeans are hanging together on this. The big news, you're right, is China looking to other markets. And that, I think, is going to be very problematic for Vladimir Putin.
I came out of nowhere. It makes me wonder if I believe it because they also dropped tariffs to allow the quick purchase of coal from Russia. But Germany relied on Russia for 55% of the natural gas. Since the invasion, they got it down to 35%. And now with the threats of having cutting off from Russia, the Germans say that they can draw down even less, even another third.
Now, I thought Russia needed the German money, Germans as a customer, more than they wanted to get redemption because the Germans are doing so much more to help the Ukrainians. Are they not thinking this through? By cutting off Poland and Bulgaria, they're cutting off revenue. It is a, in my view, a huge mistake on the part of Russia. You know, there's two sides to every transaction.
So, A, they're going to lose revenue, as you point out. B, they're going to significantly anger the civilian populations, just for starters of Poland and Bulgaria, but everyone in Europe is watching this. And C, they're going to spur the Europeans forward in building new infrastructure, for example, to take liquefied natural gas from the United States.
So, this is a miscalculation on the part of the Russians, and it's part of a whole series of miscalculations by Vladimir Putin over the past couple of months. Admiral Stervidis, are we doing enough? I read a column from Bing West saying that we got to get much more serious. He says, in Vietnam, they said we gave the Russians gave Vietnam 2,000 tanks, 400 MiGs, 7,000 anti-aircraft guns. That was just.
A fact. He says that we need to give 40 billion, not 4 billion, to help out.
Now, knowing that it's now 2022 and it's not the 1970s or 60s leading into the 70s. Why d do you think we're being too cautious? I don't. If you'd asked me that question six, eight weeks ago, I would have said yes. And in fact, I think I said yes on the program with you.
But we have moved a long way in the last six to eight weeks. I think we are moving the heavy stuff into the hands of the Ukrainians. Point one. Point two, it's a very different battlefield that Bing West fought on in Vietnam. Much more important are lighter, faster, more lethal drones, for example.
Those are easier to move. We're heavily biased in that direction. And thirdly, the Congress, I think, is going to approve this latest request for $33 billion to go into aid, but principally into weapons systems for the Ukrainians.
So far, from what I can see, we're giving the Ukrainians the tools. I think they're going to finish the job.
So, in what way? Because we do notice that Kherson is now being run by a provisional government in Russia. They're making everyone give rubles. I know it's tumultuous. Mariupol doesn't think that I don't think the cavalry is coming there to help.
So, if they continue to try to surround the Donbass. Area, do you believe that since Vladimir Putin has no conscience, doesn't really care about his own men, unlike everybody else in the world, I believe, outside China? What do you think? Do you worry about this dragging on and Russia, his aspirations of still getting Kyiv a possibility? I think Kiev has long since receded from the potential grasp of Vladimir Putin.
I think the remit of his ambition at this point is to consolidate control over the Donbass and then try and negotiate a solution where he holds everything from Crimea through Mariupol, through Donbass up to Russia. What we can do at this point, and we are doing, is continuing to give the Ukrainians the tools to push him back, particularly in Donbass. And by the way, on Mariupol, the heroism, the courage we've seen there, I think is going to stand in Ukrainian memory for generations. It will certainly continue to inspire their current fight.
So I think this is still very much in a state of flux, but I wouldn't bet against the Ukrainians at this point, Brian, to push back significantly on the Russians, especially in Donbass. 15 seconds left. Are you for Sweden and Finland getting into NATO? Mm. Oh gosh, 1,000%.
When they tell us they want in on Wednesday, we need to have them in by Friday. I will talk to the Swedish ambassador this weekend and see where they stand. Thanks so much, Admiral James Travid is always educational. Thank you. My pleasure, Brian.

A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmeade. Will you testify under oath right now? Do we have operational control? Yes or no?
Yes, we do. We have operational control of the borders. Yes, we do in two weeks. This is what operational control defined. In this section, the term operational control means the prevention of all unlawful entries into the United States, including entries by terrorists, other unlawful aliens, instruments of terrorism, narcotics, and other contraband.
Do you stand behind your testimony that we have operational control in light of this definition? Congressman, I think the Secretary of Homeland Security would have said the same thing in 2020. And in 2019. The Secretary would have at least had a basis for saying that we have some sort of control of the border.
So Yeah, this was some of the I mean, it was unbelievable what I had to choose from this morning in terms of fiery exchanges with Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkis, who's just doing he's an epic failure, and he's flat out telling untruths. And first and foremost, the first words that came out of his mouth. He inherited a broken border. You may not have liked the policies. That's fine.
But you can't say it was broken. They're building the wall, a high-tech wall. There's a Remain in Mexico policy. There were deals done with all these other Central American nations to keep their population under control. There was a minute you step into one country, even if you want to apply to our country, you have to apply there or else you're automatically eliminated.
There were policies in place. They intentionally blew it up. Senator and Dr. Roger Marshall, who's got a military background as well. He's in studio from Kansas.
Senator, great to see you. Brian, glad to be here.
So you weren't part of the House exchange yesterday, but I'm sure you understand the sentiment and the frustration. Yeah, absolutely, Brian. And our sentiment, our frustration, the frustration of Kansas is the same as yours. Let's think about this. Over 3 million people have been apprehended since this president was sworn into office.
Over six tons of fentanyl have been seized crossing the border. And on my three visits to the border, they tell me that for every person that we capture, three more have crossed. For every ton of fentanyl we capture. I've captured three tons crosses.
Well, I've done humanitarian work all over the world as a physician, and this is absolutely a crisis on the border. Where do you stand with the NGOs? Because they're paid money by the government to take care of the illegal immigrants when they come here. And they're given fresh Nikes, fresh clothes, toiletries, a shower, a bed, and then a bus ride. To wherever they want to go, wherever they're predestined.
Now, a lot of it's Catholic charities and other groups. Personally, I don't think that that is showing a big heart because what you're doing is giving a signal to Central and South America: it's okay to send your kid with a human trafficker to come here because you'll be taken care of. Yeah, Brian, certainly I have worked with many of those organizations. Again, as a physician, I appreciate their passion. What I don't appreciate is the disinformation that's going down there.
And I think these NGOs are recruiting people. That's what my people on the ground say. The NGOs are recruiting people. How can you afford to spend $3,000, $7,000 a person to get them across the border? Who's paying for that?
And you can't help but think the NGOs are doing it. Certainly, the Border Patrol, very appreciative of what the NGOs are doing.
So when we talk, you know, Kansas is not a border state, why do you care? Because it's everywhere. And you mentioned, too, that with your doctor background, your medical background, you've seen the effect of fentanyl. Yeah, yeah. No longer is Kansas immune to this.
A boy that I delivered 15 years ago recently died from a fentanyl overdose. Two people on the front page of the Kansas City Star who had died recently, two students. What's happening is the fentanyl ingredients are being made in China, sent to Mexico. There's Chinese pharmacists in Mexico then mixing it, lacing it with the Percocet. I'm begging, kids, please don't take Percocets or any of these drugs.
It's laced with fentanyl. One teaspoon of fentanyl could kill 2,000 people. Is it also a marijuana too?
Well, of course, yeah. The marijuana is anything practically. But we know it's China. To Mexico, the cartels, to get it across our border. Where's the pressure on China?
Where's the pressure on the cartels? I mean, if there's ever pressure for the special forces in Mexico to get involved, we'll finance it. We've done this before with gang activity. Where is the impetus and the planning on that?
Well, I think it's even worse than I think the Chinese government blesses it. I think they end up with the. It's their opium war. Yeah, they absolutely. China is still upset about the opium war.
They're going to get even. And this is a cash crop for them. This is like us growing wheat in Kansas, is them making the fentanyl ingredients in China. I think they bless it. President Trump, you recall, stood up.
It was coming through the U.S. mail. And we got that shut down, and that's why they're going over to Mexico. The Chinese government, the Communist Party, is intimately involved with the cartel and financing all this. Are you for removing some of the tariffs that I guess Republicans are somehow joining with Democrats to revisit the tariffs that Trump put on?
Yeah, I'm sort of opening those conversations. I think there's opportunity.
So, for instance, Turkey is sitting there trying to decide: are they going to support Russia? Are they going to support America? We still have this steel and aluminum tariff on Turkey-made steel.
So, I'm ready to revisit. I'm talking about Chinese tariffs. Chinese tariffs. You know, China did not live up to their original bargains already, the phase one and agriculture purchases. With agriculture purchases, whatever.
And they had significant improvement as well. But that's the only way we can hold them accountable.
So, I'm not in favor of removing the tariffs from China. I think we, you know, the sad thing is that President Biden has not revisited the Phase II agreement.
Well, a couple of things, it's amazing. A couple of things. You're right about Turkey. Turkey's been a huge surprise with Ukraine. They provided a lot of the drones.
They've also really prevented the Russians from dominating the Black Sea because they got some rights there.
So, as brutal as they are to their own people, as they've evaporated almost all democratic power and jailed their political opponents, which we find horrific. At the same time, they've helped us out and the Ukrainians out in war. You know, it is that simple. I recently had a visit to Turkey. I visited with Ambassador Flake.
Turkey can change their politics, but they can't change their geography. They're always going to have a foot in Europe and a foot in Asia. And so much of the war goes through there, so much of history goes through there as well. They're at the bottom of the Black Sea. My big concern is about 12% of the world's wheat exports, 14% of the corn exports, about a third of the fertilizers go through the Black Sea.
And we'll be facing famine, certainly food insecurity over the next several years in the Middle East and Africa. Before we move on from China, I want to go back. They've locked down 25 million residents of Shanghai. They're beginning to do it in Beijing because they want zero COVID policies. Not only are you a lawmaker, you're a doctor.
I mean, from what we know two years later from the virus they bestowed on us, is that the way to handle it? I think we've proven that lockdowns and mandates don't work.
So I'm really confused why they're doing this. I'm confused. Do they have some type of new variant that we don't know about? I would share with you. Evidently, there's a lot of asymptomatic, it's almost all asymptomatic.
Yeah, I think that's true. Probably 90% of cases are asymptomatic.
So certainly the Communist Party love to control their people, so this is an opportunity to control. They've had a huge failure here, and that's the big problem. That we funded the research in Wuhan that led to this virus. There's a plethora of evidence that says it was made right there in a laboratory, and then Dr. Fauci led a huge cover-up.
How do you feel about Dr. Fauci saying the pandemic's over and then saying it isn't? He means a cute pandemic's over. I mean, how does a doctor make these mistakes? You know, I think it's just constant misinformation, disinformation.
This is the real disinformation coming out right that we can't understand it. And Dr. Fauci, Fauci, he wants to be so much in control of everything. Please just give myself, as a physician practicing in rural medicine, the facts, the data, and let me apply it. I've been taking care of communicable diseases for decades.
Just give us the data and let local doctors and health care workers decide what to do. Moderna is asking for emergency authorization for children under five. Would you think it's necessary to give a Moderna vaccine, if they get that authorization, to a child under five? I certainly have grandchildren. This is a very real question to me.
The advice I've been giving my parents is very different than the advice I would give to my children. I would encourage the parents to talk to their doctor. But in general, I don't see that the benefits outweigh the risk of this vaccine. The benefits to someone under the age of, say, 21, unless they have an underlying health care condition, we're having more children, more people die from drug overdose, from depression and suicides because of the lockdowns than we did from the virus itself. But in New York, they want to get the mask off their kids.
So they take the preschoolers, and they will not get the mask off the kids until the vaccine is out.
So, you understand, even if you say to yourself, what should I do? I mean, if you are a parent in New York City, and I hope that never happens to you. We are in New York City. Would you go from what you know about the mRNA vaccine? Would you feel okay with a child getting it?
So, personally, I would not. I don't think the benefits outweigh the risk. The risks are very real. I don't feel comfortable for my grandchildren. Get it, especially probably 60, 70 percent of children have already had the virus.
And I don't see that the vaccine gives them enough benefit to take on the risk. Understood. I get that. And the same thing, the administration is also not acknowledging that Johns Hopkins did a study. And when you look at these mitigating things that we've done, including putting masks on, not the N95s that you guys wear in surgery, but masks on, it almost has no benefit.
What did you think about before we thought about the mask? And being that this is an airborne virus, should we have been wearing them? Absolutely not. And this is what's so frustrating. I sat down with the FDA maybe three or four months into this process back in 2020 and said, show me the data on the mask.
They sent me 80 studies.
Now, I read them all. I reviewed every one of the 80 studies. Maybe three or four suggested masks might help. Most of them said they were not helpful, and several even said it hurts.
So they didn't even take the time to read their own data, sending me studies that actually showed masks didn't work. We knew all along that the cloth mask would offer nothing. In a perfect world, an N95 mask would work. But for children taking them on and off, eventually you're going to spread the virus. What I was told by doctors originally, and I remember it, it's only two years ago, is the N95s aren't good because they've got to be fitted.
So it's like, well, you can't have it because they need to be fitted for you. And plus, he said, you know, when you're doing surgery, you don't want these on, and they're not comfortable.
So now, even my daughter's college was told for the last two weeks of the year. We're in 95s. And what are you supposed to do? Drop out of college? Brian, isn't it just horrible though that that's what's occurring right now?
Again, this is a very low-risk group of people. I wouldn't be surprised if 80 or 90% of the students there on campus have already had the virus, and I bet 95% of them have either had the virus or the vaccine.
So, what is the benefit of the mask? What is the harm of the mask? And I think there's significant psychosocial problems created by the mask. All right, I want to ask you a couple of questions. We're going to take a break first and ask you about: do you have time for Russia in Ukraine?
Let's do it, Brian. All right, back in a moment. Senator Roger Marshall's here. More with the doctor, the military officer, and the sitting senator in just a moment. Newsmakers and newsbreakers.
Here at first on the Brian Kill Meat Show. Hey, it's Will Kane, co-host of Fox and Friends Weekend. Join me as I share my thoughts on a wide range of topics from sports and pop culture to politics and business. The Will Kane Podcast. Subscribe and listen now at FoxNewsPodcasts.com.
The more you listen, the more you'll know it's Brian Kilmead. Ukraine is an epicenter of unbearable heartache and pain. I witnessed that very vividly today around Kyiv. The senseless loss of life. the massive destruction.
the unacceptable violations of human rights and the laws of war. And that is the The General Secretary of the United Nations, after meeting in Moscow, goes to Kyiv and they start rocketing Kyiv. That's how nuts Vladimir Putin and Moscow has been for the invasion that they're exposing the whole world to their barbarity and their ineptness as a military. With me right now in studio is Senator and Dr. Roger Marshall of Kansas.
Senator, where do you stand on this war? We have the President of the United States asking you guys for $33 billion more. They clearly need it. Should we give it? Brian, I want to do everything we can to help the Ukrainians.
We've already given over $10 billion. We have 100,000 American troops right off the Ukraine border doing our part. We need to keep doing our part, but Europe needs to be leading on this as well. Europe needs to be paying their part. $30 billion more seems like a lot to ask for right now.
I guess I would say it's day 64 of this war. Where has the Biden administration doing? They've only given a fraction or done a fraction of what they could do with sanctions.
So, for instance, most of the energy sanctions on Russian banks don't go in effect until June.
So we need to double down on our sanctions, implementing the sanctions. We don't need more sanctions. We need to implement the sanctions we have. We need Europe to do more as well. We need our neighbors, our allies to do more.
Let's do our part as well. Senator, how do you feel about the Secretary of Defense coming out and saying what we'd like to do is make sure that Russia is degraded enough so they're not invading another neighbor again as an objective? I thought it was what you guys talked about behind closed doors. I was surprised to see the Secretary of Defense say that because it seems to play into a Russia propaganda line: we're really fighting NATO and America who wants to destroy us, as opposed to we're invading our neighbor. Right.
So, Brian, as I've traveled recently to those nations around the Black Sea, that's what they described to me as why is America so ambiguous? Where are they? Why are they not leading? Look, you are the leader of the free world. It's time the United States started acting like it.
So, our neighbors, our friends, our allies wonder who we are, and they know that we have a very weak president and weak policy. And also, the ground is not plowed with Saudi Arabia to make up for the oil and gas we're missing. They had a good relationship. Without them, there's no Abraham Accords. A lot of that had to do with Iran, the fact that we really were putting them under tremendous strain.
And they are rivals with Iran. And Saudi Arabia, far from a perfect country. But as they started making peace with Israel with four agreements in two years, they were answering our call for help.
Now they don't even answer Joe Biden's phone calls. Yeah, that's it, Brian. Again, just did a little trip to Israel, Jordan, Egypt, and Turkey as well. And that's the description right there, what you're describing. Are they going to wait out this administration?
Are they feeling like in four years we'll just wait for Republicans to get in there?
Well, what they're scared about is the Iran deal going through and given Iran nuclear missiles, because then if Iran gets them, then Saudi is going to have to get them, and Turkey's going to have to get them, and Egypt's going to have to get them. They can get them, too, right? They'll go right to Pakistan.
Well, I think that they've got a plan, right?
So that's just it. America has disappeared. That momentum that we had in the Middle East, we've lost all that momentum. But I tell you, a lot of Republicans don't want to be involved in the Ukraine war. They don't really want to be involved in the Middle East.
Do you get that sense that the Republicans are somewhat divided on this? I really don't. In our private conferences that we have, we have lunch together every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I don't hear that sentiment. I think it's at what level?
Certainly, we don't want American boots on the ground. We don't want Americans in the air. But I haven't heard really anybody stand up. I would say maybe two or three people say at what level are we going to be involved in it? But I think that most of us.
The super majority of us, the leadership, thinks that we have a responsibility. I don't think I have to tell you what came out yesterday. Our economy grew at a negative rate after a huge previous quarter. I think it caught this administration by surprise. Did it catch you by surprise?
It didn't. And everyone is talking about different parts of inflation, but no one's talking about the over-regulations of this government. Over-regulations kill the economy. And in less than six months, this Biden administration undid what everything President Trump got done as far as rolling back regulations.
So I think we're seeing those regulations hit the ground. We have 3 million people that still have not re-entered the workforce.
So all this is additive, and it's leading up to stagflation. We're going to keep seeing more inflation at the same time the economy is stalling.
So I guess I'm not surprised, unfortunately. You're not surprised, but when you see inflation going up, you see interest rates go up. People say traditionally, if you want to get inflation under control, you raise interest rates, and that could be coming in six months. Is there another plan, Senator, besides raising interest rates, stopping that first-time buyer, stopping that big acquisition from going place going through because it just doesn't make sense anymore? Right.
So if inflation is caused by too many dollars chasing too few goods and services, so let's cut the supply of dollars by raising inflation rates or interest rates, excuse me, along with quantitative tightening. But at the same time, we need to increase the goods and services.
So we need to get those people back to work and unclog these production lines, the supply chains as well. Really go back to the Trump policies. This is not rocket science. Right, but the supply chain may be being squelched by China, who's not letting their people out and shutting down ports, correct? Right.
So, of course, that's additive to the problem. That's not this administration's fault, but it's America's fault that we're not doing more to move those supply chains back here. But it's happening. We're moving those supply chains back. Senator Marshall, thanks so much for being here.
Exciting time to be in Washington. And maybe you'll be in the Jardic next time I talk to you. I hope so, Brian. Thanks for having me. Great show.

It's Brian Kilmead. Thanks so much for being here, everybody. It's the Brian Kilmeat Show, 1-866-408-7669.
We have a lot to discuss, a lot on our docket coming to you from 48th and 6 in Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, heard around the world. Uh uh Janastine will be here, you know what she has done as uh Her best-selling book talks about it. And now she by taking on Governor Cuomo the way she did, she'll be with us at the bottom of the hour. She's got some, there's some lawsuits going on still. And of course, you got the other big story about the gerrymandering in New York, the same thing as North Carolina, Ohio, and maybe Florida is next.
They said it's unconstitutional. They did it so severely and in such a partisan way. Janice, on that. Geraldo Rivera is standing by.
So let's get to the big three.
Now with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. Ukraine is an epicenter of unbearable heartache and pain. I witnessed that very vividly today around Kyiv. The senseless loss of life.
the massive destruction. the unacceptable violations of human rights and the laws of war. And that is the UN General Secretary after Key was rocketed, knowing he was there meeting with Zelensky. Amazing. It is insanity.
The Russia bombs Kiev, we know that. Putin shows how foolhardy and reckless he is as Russia continues to pay a heavy price for their bloodthirsty invasion, as now Europe is beginning to make major moves to get off oil and gas from Russia. Number two. I shudder to think about if free speech absolutists were taking over more platforms, what that would look like for the marginalized communities all around the world, which are already shouldering so much of this abuse, disproportionate amounts of this abuse. That is true.
That is Nina Jakowicz. She is the executive director of the DSS Disinformation. I'm not kidding. Musk Madness gives rebirth to a disinformation czar and a woman in charge, Nina Jakowicz, comes to the job with almost no credibility and sacrificing all of her integrity in an effort to make democratic causes front and center. Way to go, Joe.
Nice selection. Number Secretary, have any of the 42 illegal migrants on the terrorist watch list of no-fly list encountered on our southwest border been released into the United States? I do not know the answer to your question. Do not know whether they have been released or not into the country. That's your testimony.
Ranking Member Jordan, as I've said before, I will provide you the data. No, you won't, if you don't have it already. Showdown, throw down on Capitol Hill of the international collapse, the intentional collapse of our border, and the sinister HHS secretary that won't even acknowledge it. We will bring you the fireworks and the reaction. Let's bring in Geraldo of Air Force.
Geraldo. Am I the fireworks? You are. You have to be ticked off about the lack of candor that took place and the legitimate exasperation, not the theatrical one, that was on display over these last two days. Am I right?
Uh You know, Brian, I think that the the emphasis should be on the word theatrical because I think that uh the lack of manners, the lack of any kind of uh grace or dignity in in congressional hearings is uh is appalling. I I can't I can't stand it. I I watched for a couple of minutes and I just say these guys are are performing. This is performance art. For the re-election campaign.
It really is very distressing.
Now, let me get to the substance of it. As far as I know, there has never been, at least uh in terms of Islamic terrorism, There has never been a a penetration of the southern border by uh an Islamist Terrorist. as far as I know, ever. since uh all of the regulations were put in place following nine eleven.
Now in terms of the people on this terror watch list, I don't know who they are. I don't know where that information comes from. I would be very eager to find out. I am I join you in being in feeling dismay over the lack of candor from the Secretary. But I would like to put the politics aside and find the truth.
Is this indeed evidence of a terrorist a successful terrorist or potential terrorist penetration of the southern border? If so, it represents uh an escalation In the border crisis. I don't know that that's a fact.
Well, put it this way: I would not have gone to that hearing if I'd have an answer. What happened to those 42? That should be a hard and fast policy. They're in jail, in such and such prison. They're scattered.
All 42 are here, here, and here. Have a staffer sitting there and go, I'll get that to you in 10 minutes. Hold on. Unless you're embarrassed by what you have to say, maybe one of the 42 got one of those cell phones and got on a bus and is told to check in. Or what about the 22 sex offenders over the last two months in 20, the first three months in 2022 that have been captured at the border?
Where are they? Well, going back to the I don't want to leave the terrorism issue until we resolve it to our mutual satisfaction, but I think that the truth in terms of who They are. Is this a real thing that happened or is this political grandstanding because of what I started with with all these diatribes and all this polemics uh and all this drama you never know truth from politics.
So I really think you yet they should take that disinformation person and have her go after Majorkis and Jordan and find out who is telling the truth and what the truth is. In terms of the sex offenders, You know, horrible. The whole situation is is melancholy and disturbing on the southern border. There's no doubt. Because of the reporting from Fox News and our Bill what's his name?
Bellusion. Bellusium at the border with the drones. There's no more denying that there's a flood of humanity. And among that group, there's inevitably people who have committed some crime. I will say.
quickly because I know that uh that that it's outrageous. Uh that uh Generally speaking, Are hardworking, law-abiding, other than the fact that they're crossing without documentation. They're people who are seeking jobs. uh they they are Coming from desperately poor places where they have oppression and corruption and so forth.
Well, our place is just better. Yes, but I know the reason to come to sex offenders. My point is that generally speaking, when you have undocumented migrants, because they live in fear of being deported, generally speaking, those communities like Passaic and Patterson in New Jersey and so many others, that post-industrial towns that were dead that are now repopulated largely with undocumented people, crime is way down.
So these are the people delivering the pizzas. and uh mowing the lawns and patching the roofs and you know processing the uh the poultry and packing the uh the meat and uh and tilling the farms. These are, generally speaking, washing the dishes. You know, these are people generally speaking who want just to work. I don't know, you know, amongst them are there bad apples or bad, I'm sure.
Yes, I think this is an unprecedented flat out invasion that I find so disturbing because he started off with an untruth. He's saying I inherited a broken system. He did not inherit a broken system that we know he didn't. You may not like the policies. The minute you walk into a country, you apply for citizenship there, even if it's to ours.
They're remaining in Mexico, the Marines on the southern border, the Mexican Marines on their southern border, taking away the aid for countries that didn't control their own borders. We know all this.
So to say you inherited, and with Title 42, to say inherited a broken system is a lie.
So whatever you say after that, you've lost me. How do you feel about this new push to have a director of disinformation way overdue, Geraldo? Is that going to make America a better place? Absolutely. Not, I hate those kinds of bureaucrats that interpose themselves in what should be free speech and free communication.
But I want to go back to the border in terms of solving the border. To me, what causes great dismay is how nobody wants to fix the border. If you're in power, you're befuddled as to what to do. Democrats now in power, Republicans out of power, are they suggesting remedies? No.
They're complaining about the s situation. It was exactly the same during Trump. Were the Democrats trying to find solutions, people in cages and so forth? No, the power the party out of power in the Trump administration, the Democrats, all they wanted to do was make Trump look bad. Why don't these two parties get together and try to solve this damn problem?
For example, Now at Title 42. What Tala 42 does brilliantly is it says, we are going to interrupt the process by which you come to our country, apply for asylum, and immediately are granted some kind of temporary reprieve. What we should do is codify. Why don't we make that a law? It shouldn't be an executive order, it should be a bipartisan law that says.
For now, we are suspending asylum or we are making you remain in Mexico when you apply for asylum. This is now the law agreed to by Democrats and Republicans. Let's try to solve this problem. Make Title 42 a law, not an executive order, and have all these big mouths on both sides of the aisle get together and force Biden, President Biden, into taking action and making laws a stick. Executive orders that they come and go with the different presidency.
But, Geraldo, nothing moves forward. Especially the easy stuff without border security. As soon as you get the border control, if they had for one thing, I think that if people were true to their word, Trump should have taken the deal when they walked in and said, I'll give you the whole wall. For a pathway to citizenship. And of course, the devil's in the details.
I get that. But if both sides were dealing honestly, And you could have got that wall built, the high-tech wall built, and then within three years start making a move on other areas for work visas and down, for people to have an opportunity to stay here to keep our first-round draft picks at Stanford and elsewhere to take their knowledge that they took from us and keep it here. The other stuff would have worked out. But the minute the border fell apart, you can't even talk about comprehensive immigration reform.
Well, I think that you just sounded so reasonable, Brian, that I wish that I heard that tone from Washington, D.C. That we can do this. That's a good deal. Sean Hannity battered me for twenty years. Finally, I said, okay, I'm okay with the wall as long as it has big doors in it and take care of the dreamers and so forth.
But the Democrats. Gum that up. Because the notion of our building a wall is to Democrats an insult.
Some kind of ideological insult that I don't get because there are plenty of Democrats along the border who are asking for border security. Border security is for everybody. Everybody needs to, every nation needs to have a secure border if it's going to have sovereignty. I'm all for it. But my distress is, Brian, that it doesn't seem to me that there are people on the right side of the aisle, on the Democrat, on the Republican side of the aisle, that are in the mood for any kind of compromise.
Democrats certainly are not. It was closer years ago. when the big debate was pathway to citizenship. And I know people are upset by that. There was Pathway, and so here's the thing that I would say that might be the game changer.
If the Hispanic vote continues to shift to Republicans and they prove that they earned it, And when Democrats no longer see future voting base in illegals coming across the border, maybe they'll start dealing with this more honestly and sincerely. Because the Republicans were like, okay, they're going to get a bunch of Hispanics. You're not going to vote for us, when more and more seemed to be going across, even during Donald Trump more than ever during Donald Trump's four years. Ronald Ray. Reagan said famously that Hispanics are natural Republicans.
They may not know it yet. And it is absolutely true as a Republican Latino myself. The the Latino community is a faith-based family oriented, law abiding community. That is the natural instincts. The Republican Party is appealing to them, and they are looking at the Democratic Party and saying, what have you done for me?
What are you doing for my community? We are the largest minority group in this country right now. And I really do believe that, that trend appealing to the entrepreneurial instincts. You know, you you have a Hispanic uh uh guy on the corner selling a bottle of water. He sells it, he gets a dollar, uses the dollar, buys two bottles of water, uh you know, fifty cents each at the store, comes back to the corner, now he has two bottles of water, and he sells it and he gets four bottles of water and so forth.
I've seen it happen in my family. My family is vast. My father is one of 17 children and came from Puerto Rico. One of seventeen, all of them. got jobs that are were enterprising and they opened a bodega or they uh you know they hired uh they became the k uh the kitchen help, then the supervisors of the kitchen, then the owners of the diner.
Uh like my father did in Mas Pico Dina in your neighborhood. Yet they w they are. My dad my dad was also became a Republican. There is a bad spirit, but what you need is not this toxicity, and you don't want Republican grandstanders making demonizing the immigrant community. You want them extolling their virtue.
You know what it was, Raldo? I think it was it's so bad. And there's no attempt to fix it. And it's almost as if it's intentional. And you have a temper.
When you see Jim Jordan, go, I've seen Theater, I've seen him mad, or whatever. And you'll go from A to Z, they're like, what are you doing? You're doing this on purpose. How dare you not tell me the truth to my face in front of an actual audience?
So, what if you, what if you? Mayorkis. What if it was you? Who is the first immigrant, by the way? He's an immigrant from Cuba.
I don't know if he was legal when he came, but he's an immigrant. He's the first immigrant ever to head up that department.
So when you basically ranking the guy out the way we used to in in in high school. Uh and you're making him you know making him seem like he's a he's a a Uh you know uh You know, you're not going to get anything done. I wish that there was a lot of things. I wish Trump would speak about it. And I wish that he would present.
A three-point plan. All right, this is what we're gonna do. We're gonna finish the wall. We're gonna make remain in Mexico a law. We're going to give the dreamers a pathway to citizenship.
You know, and I want all of you Hispanics to be Republicans. I think that you could make movement, but my point is that when you have people just trying to undermine any kind of positive action or place blame, I think. But Billorkas belongs to blame. He broke it on purpose and doesn't want to fix it. That's what's so incensing.
That's what gets me crazy even talking about it. Herado, have a great weekend. Thanks so much. Crazy weekend. All right, go ahead.
We come back. Your calls. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead. You want to bet that they will not move it out of Florida.
I would be willing to bet a lot of money. You know, it probably cost a half a trillion dollars to do that. It just simply ends with them being treated the same as every other company in Florida. They're going to follow laws. They're not going to have their own government.
They're going to pay their debts, pay their taxes, and it's fine. But I am not comfortable having one company with their own government and special privileges when that company has pledged itself to attacking the parents in my state. It's wrong. Walt Disney would not want that. And so get back to the mission.
Do what you did great. That's why people love the company and you've lost your way. Maybe this will be the wake-up call that they need to get back on track. And that is Governor DeSantis with Laura Ingram last night in Florida, where he had a chance to talk to a myriad of issues he's been involved with in helping, and he's been so successful at it, arguably the most successful governor of the country, especially through the most challenging time, and that's the pandemic. And now we might be looming, have a looming recession where now he's taken on corporations that wanted to take him on.
What they blew at Disney is coming out and saying we will do everything in our power to stop this bill, which was a parental rights bill. They mischaracterize it and then decided to fight it. You don't fight DeSantis, especially when he's right. which has been most of the time he is on a streak.
So we'll see if there's something behind the scenes by June of 2023 that allows. Disney to stay as an autonomous zone. I don't see it right now. Radio that makes. What do you think?
This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Most of the disinformation that we've seen, this highly emotionally manipulative content, is coming from the right. If you look at the top 10 most engaged with posts on Facebook or Twitter on a given day, they are usually posts that are coming from the right. And that's because the right does deal in this highly emotional rhetoric. That is the new disinformation czar.
That's what I call her. She's somebody who is eight months pregnant and has taken over a position that will decide. Unilaterally, or with a small cadre of people, what's disinformation and what's not. And her judgment so far has been absolutely awful. I'll give you an example.
She thought when it came to the Laptop, it was Russian disinformation. I mean, you look at her resume. She's a specialist in Eastern European history. She knows the fingerprints of all this disinformation, what is fake and what is not. But then, if you look at what she was able to identify, she had it exactly wrong, very political.
She says, on the laptop from hell. Biden notes: 50 former national security officials and five former CIA heads believe the laptop is Russian influence and opposition research. Trump says Russia, Russia, Russia. She went on to tweet: for those who believe that tweet is key to it, all my views is simply a direct quote from the candidates through the final presidential debate. But you're the one with all the experience that should have enabled you to see through that, but you didn't because you're a political operative, and that is the key.
And just to finish this off, Uh in terms of what we could be looking at, because this is all prompted, I believe, by the acquisition, possibly, it looks like, of Elon Musk of. of Twitter, which could be happening. Officially, it's going to be a few months, but unofficially, you could start taking control. And I could do it by weeding a lot of people out. Here is the other cut that I want you to hear from Nina Jakowicz.
This is November twenty twenty. A number twelve. I shudder to think about if free speech absolutists were taking over more platforms, what that would look like for the marginalized communities all around the world, which are already shouldering so much of this abuse, disproportionate amounts of this abuse. Are you nuts? Are you disadvantaged communities are suffering because of disinformation?
Uh most of those disadvantaged communities are not looking at Russian disinformation.
So, what this committee is going to do, I don't know. I almost think it's such a stupid idea. I almost think it's a head fake. With me right now is Janistine. You know, she's a weather forecaster extraordinaire.
Has a few minutes here before you start your weekend, which is mostly partying. Of course. Always partying. Right.
A rollicking good time. And were you referring to? This morning, you used a word. Talk about disinformation. Exactly.
You used a word that I am very familiar with, rollicking. And Stephen Ainslie Thought it was a made-up word. But you proved them wrong. They said, Brian, it's frolicking. And I said, You don't say rollicking?
They said, No, you don't say rollicking. You say frolicking. You just forgot a letter. No, rollicking is better than frolicking. Because I rollick.
But the problem is, rollick and frolic usually said in the same sentence. I like to rollick and frolic. Both at the same time?
Well, that's confusing. Right.
Right.
So I was vindicated. But for a while, with this new program, I would have been under arrest for telling America that rollicking was a word. You would have been arrested. And then I would have been immediately released. Right.
Under this newest, yes, the word police. This newest I could be spreading disinformation that rollicking was a word. You're under arrest, sir. Come with me. I love the word rollicking, and I suggest that every day on Fox and Friends we have a new word that might perplex some.
Mm. You mean there might be doubtful, it might not be a word? Correct. Gotcha. Don't you think people would tune into that?
No. And we could do it before the commercial. I don't want to come into the market show to learn one new word. Can people contact you right now and tell you that they would like to have a word of the day on Fox and Friends? No, there's a security.
You're talking about just come upstairs and just. What are you talking about?
Well, they can email Allison and she can let us know that most of the audience would like to know a new word about it. Yeah. Can they call you? They can. I'm not likely to answer, but they can call you.
Okay, that's fine. That reminds me, you know how hard it is to get a human being on the phone these days? I mean worse than ever. I mean if you want to get hold of a person to talk about flight changes or flight delays, that will put you in a queue of at least two hours to get to a person. I tried to make an MRI appointment.
Which is something I do on a yearly basis. I have multiple sclerosis, people know that, and so I have to make sure that I have no new lesions on my brain. It's an important thing I have to do. I could not get in touch with a real person for a week. We were playing telephone tags.
So I finally ended up calling the number and just pressing a bunch of numbers and saying, representative, representative, representative. Finally got somebody who was mad that they had to answer the phone to make an appointment for a really important procedure. It's unbelievable. Can I recommend something? What?
You get your own MRI at home. My own MRI machine? Yes. You know that Stony Brook was the school that came up with the MRI machine here in New York? Did not know that.
Yeah, it's true. It's an affordable school located on the east end of London. Yes, maybe they have MRI machines.
Now that I've given them a shout-out. Right.
Maybe they'll have an extra. I'm sorry, I'm using this as sort of a complaining place.
So let's talk about what's happening in New York politics because so oftentimes New York sets a tone for the rest of the country. This is happening again.
So what happens is when you're the governor in power and you're a legislator in power in your state, you try to draw the lines, the gerrymander lines. Most beneficial for your party. It's always been the case. But if you do it so severely, it comes out unconstitutional. In North Carolina, they got reprimanded.
They had to go redo it again. Same thing with Ohio and one other state, but now New York was so insane the way they drew their battle lines that they have to go back to the drawing board and they got two weeks to put it all together. It says the deadline is April 30th. A lower-level court has ruled that the maps were unconstitutional, given the legislature April 30th to come up with new maps or leave the task to a court-appointed expert. And they asked Kathy Hochul yesterday, and she was just like, I have, that'll be taken care of.
No problem. It'll be okay. Everybody's fine. Yeah, so the Dems were hoping for at least the old lines now. The GOP is hoping for a better divide.
We know New York lost seats because a lot of people left the state.
Some candidates don't know if they'll even have a district to run in. That's crazy. Yeah, well, I mean, that's what happens. I mean, that's what happened to Kinzinger, Adam Kinzinger. In Illinois, they lost so many people that they basically drew out his district.
So, when he had to go run somebody else's district, he knew he wouldn't have won. The new map has to be done by May 16th, finalized by the 20th. And with the reason why this is a national story, it could decide the balance of power in the House. Of course. Right.
So there's only five seats. And if the Democrats feel as though if they could have some type of good news and redraw these states in the right way, they did. They went and drew the maps.
So that means the primaries could be on a different day in a different month. Like August. Yeah. And so if you're running for governor, you got to continue to run for the nomination through the summer. But I mean in New York, Zeldon's going to get it, right?
Well, I have no knowledge on this, but it do it does seem that he is probably going to be. He's up by like twenty, thirty points. I mean, how much more divided are you going to be? Do you think Rudy Giuliani stumping for Andrew is helping?
Well, maybe. I mean, that's why I think that all of these candidates should have a shot at it. Don't you agree? Yeah, but not a six-month shot. Kathy Hogl's got a machine supporting her, even though she's made a series of bad decisions.
Number one, threw out all these obligations to pensions that kept the budget somewhat in order. Number two, I'm all for the Buffalo Bills, but you should have consulted someone before you gave them $600 million of taxpayer money. Yeah, I think people are really mad. And she should have been on a ballot. They should have, taxpayers should have had a say in this, and she just went ahead and did it.
And it looks like her own family, her own husband, is going to benefit from this. He's like a concession side of the state. I did not know. Yeah. He works for a concession stand company, which obviously is benefited by these big stadiums.
So we'll see what happens there. But what is happening with Governor Cuomo, who's fancying some type of comeback? He keeps missing deadlines. He's got a ton of money. Is he in any legal trouble still?
Well, my friend Daniel Arbini, I've known the Arbini. Beanie family for almost two years now. They also lost their father to COVID, which he contracted in his New York nursing home, a Brooklyn nursing home. Daniel has filed a federal civil lawsuit. He did that yesterday.
Wants to sue not only Cuomo, he wants to sue the state of New York, Melissa DeRosa, who was his top aide, who admitted that they undercounted the numbers, and Howard Zucker, who was the health commissioner, who has since stepped down.
So he filed that by himself and is going to go forward to try to. I mean, this is a story of David and Goliath. He really is David against. The whole machine of Andrew Perry. And people will jump on board if he is.
I hope so. Yeah, here's what he said yesterday on WGY Radio, Cup 44. fast forward a couple of months and we hear and learn that our governor is writing a book. The week after his book went out, we hold a mock funeral for his leadership and integrity. People are coming out of the woodwork to tell us what has happened to them.
So we're learning things that nobody else knew at the time. But we met a lot of other what we call COVID offense. We met Janistine at that event. and got close to her after what her in laws went through. Our dear friend from that we grew up with around the corner lost both his parents.
to COVID in the nursing home. His mother got it in the nursing home. father was visiting the mother. He got it. They both died in a week.
So that's why he's taking on and there's no apology, there's no acknowledgment. What other states did the same thing?
Well, New Jersey, New Jersey. And by the way, New Jersey paid thirty fifty three million over COVID deaths at a veterans home. They did that. They settled that just a few months ago.
So, New Jersey, that would be Murphy. They did exactly the same thing. They put COVID-positive patients into nursing homes by the thousands. Michigan, Whitmer, Governor Whitmer did the same thing. And we found out she was covering up the numbers as well.
That has been proven by an audit. And then we also have Pennsylvania. Governor Wolf did the same thing, putting COVID-positive patients into nursing homes. And there are several other states. Wow.
And we need so we need to start with New York. And then from there, if there's a precedent set, then we go, then we need to do the same thing in every other state that put COVID-positive patients into nursing homes. And by the way, the UK High Court across the pond ruled that this type of action was illegal. They did exactly the same thing in the UK of putting COVID patients into nursing homes. Is there a financial reason why this could have happened?
Does it pay more to send people back? Yeah, it's a big hospital lobby thing. The hospitals, from what I gather, wanted paying customers to come into their their hospitals and got rid of the seniors, which they decided to put back into the nursing homes, even though they were supposed to protect the vulnerable. This is what I don't understand. They had all of us quarantined so that we couldn't go out, but yet they put COVID into the most vulnerable places where our seniors lived and did it without us knowing.
Wow, between the crime... Between uh the Budget would see Kathy Hokul looks way over her head, a ridiculous naming of a lieutenant governor who's under indictment, who ran on to fund the police.
So, between all this, do you think that there's a sense that a Republican has a shot? Because I saw one Lee Zeldon poll, he was up a point against Hoko. I think if there's ever a time. For a different party in New York State. It's now.
So one more thing for Arbini. Do you remember Trump and Cuomo were just fighting nonstop, and then they'd get along, then they wouldn't say, what do you need? Because I need ventilators and I need to make my makeshift hospitals. They ignored Good Samaritans first that opened up in Central Park. And then they converted the Javits Center to a big hospital.
Spent, I mean, millions of dollars doing that. And here's what Arbini said, Cut 45. Governor Cuomo had at his disposal, thanks to President Trump, two. 2,000 beds. Besides Samaritans purse, 135 beds extra in New York City to be used by anybody and everybody.
Did you know that our dear governor, in quotes, decided to make The Javit Center and the USS Comfort almost impossible for people to get into. That's true. He increased the health requirements such that nobody could use it.
So he purposely kept people out of the USS Comfort and the Javit Center. And he made the only option. To go into a nursing home where two weeks before this, he said it was like fire through dry grass because we learned from Washington State what happens. And that's why we need an independent bipartisan investigation to find out the why. I mean, there were nursing homes that actually asked that they could bring the patients to the USS Comfort and they were denied.
Wow. When we come back, we're going to find out there's more to know. Janice Deen's here for a little while longer. You're listening to. Are there snacks?
Hmm. I don't have that type of budget. This is radio. I mean, TV, you have someone who comes in at 8:50 when our show is just about over, two hours and 50 minutes in, and give us snacks. I might not be here after the break.
Because I need to eat. Back in a moment. Learning something new every day on the Brian Kill Meat Show. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show.
I've decided to sign for one more year. on the show and that this will be This will be my last year hosting the late age. Don't you dare. This will be my last year hosting the show. You know, when I.
When I started this. When I started this journey, It was always going to be just that. It was going to be a journey, an adventure. I never saw it as my. Final destination, you know, and I I never want this show to overstay its welcome in any way.
I always want to love making it and I really think in a year from now That would be a good time to to move on. and see what else might be out there.
So that is James Corden, the most talented guy in late night. He's gonna call quits in one year. Why? It makes you wonder if there's more to know. More.
To know. I think he's bored. Personally, I think he's bored. You think I do. What about ratings?
I think he's solid, but I think most of his stuff is streaming. Like he gets his calls YouTube and stuff. And um I guess he got some criticism because the karaoke. Did you see this story? That the karaoke stuff, the carpool karaoke that he invented.
He's on a tra he's on a uh a flatbed. He's not actually driving. No, that's not a problem. That's all fake? Is that a problem?
Yes! You think that they're driving around New York City and he's driving? That's so that's all fake news? No, well, he's on the back. They're going through the streets.
of Los Angeles, but he's on the flatbed. But he's not driving. Right.
Well, it just takes the magic completely out of it. I don't think so.
Well, I think so.
Sort of, 'cause you know, like he's driving, you think he might get into an accident here or there. All right. Hit a bicyclist. No, I'm just kidding. I don't want that to happen.
You gonna do the next one? Oh, hi. Oh, yeah, you did that one. I wanna do this one because it relates to us in Morning Show. Average American sets four different alarms to wake up.
In a poll of 2,000 adults, one-quarter typically sleep in a bit because they believe it helps their relationship with their family, friends, and coworkers. But the average American sets four different alarms to wake up on a normal day, and that's not even a morning show host. Do you have different alarms? No. One alarm.
One. That's it. I hit a snooze a few times. Is it rock music that wakes you up? What's the.
No, it's a noise. It's a beep. It's a noise, yeah. But I will say this: people can rationalize anything to get the snooze one. Like, it'll help America if I sleep more.
It'll help everyone. I'll reduce traffic in the bathroom. Or it'll be better for my day. It'll give my clothes more time to hang there alone. Whatever it is.
Next, the cost of Zoom. I oh, is it true we're done? Oh no! A new academic study shows in-person meetings generally have more ideas and are more creative compared to video conferencing. I knew that.
I mean, I love this time with you.
Well, it was good. It was better than Zooming. It really was. According to all studies. All right.
We'll see you Monday, Janice. I will be here. Don't complain about the weather. No, I won't. Side's your fault.
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 Kilmean. Here, everybody, it's the Brian Kilmean Show. At the bottom of the air, we have Brett Baer in studio. If you're watching Fox Nation, you can see Jason Chavitz is here.
We'll come to you from 48th and 6th in Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, heard around the world, especially in the Ukraine, we hope. Big weekend show, of course. We've got Saturday night at 8 o'clock. One Nation. I'm going to find out and get to the bottom of it.
Will the. Will Sweden join NATO? We have the Swedish ambassador to the United States joining us, so maybe get an answer to that question. Last week we looked at Finland. Looks like they're on the fast course too.
So before we get to Jason, let's get to the big three.
Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. Ukraine is an epicenter of unbearable heartache and pain. I witnessed that very vividly today around Kyiv. The senseless loss of life.
the massive destruction. The unacceptable violations of human rights and the laws of war. Yeah, that is the UN General Secretary. Can you believe this? Insanity.
Russia bombs Kyiv with the UN General Secretary meeting in the nation's capital, fresh off meeting in Vladimir Putin's capital in Moscow, as Russia continues to pay a heavy price for their foolhardy, bloodthirsty invasion of their neighbor, the latest from the battlefield. Number two. I shudder to think about if free speech absolutists were taking over more platforms, what that would look like for the marginalized communities all around the world, which are already shouldering so much of this abuse, disproportionate amounts of this abuse. Where do you get these people? That's Nina Jakowitz.
Musk madness gives birth to a disinformation czar and a disinformation committee. And the woman in charge, Jakowicz, comes to the job with no credibility, has repeatedly spread disinformation on Hunter's laptop and has slammed Musk Twitter takeover. Way to go, Joe. Number Secretary, have any of the 42 illegal migrants on the terrorist watch list or no-fly list encountered on our southwest border been released into the United States? I do not know the answer to your question.
Do not know whether they are being released or not into the country. That's your testimony. Ranking Member Jordan, as I've said before, I will provide you the data. Unbelievable. That's the Homeland Security Secretary.
Showdown, throwdown on Capitol Hill over the intentional collapse of our border and the sinister HHS secretary who won't even acknowledge it. We'll bring you the fireworks and the reaction. Congressman, now Jason Chaffetz, Fox, who's contributor and host, Anchor Everything. I've seen that's as fiery of two days as I have seen in a long time. What about you?
Um There is nothing that can justify the positions of Secretary Mayarkis. First of all, shame on the 56 senators who voted to confirm him, including six Republicans. Every one of them should have to answer this. Mayarkis was integrally involved with the Obama administration. He is not taking on radically new positions.
He's just regurgitating what he did in the Obama administration. Jay Johnson was much better, wasn't he? Oh, he was. He was much more competent. Mayorkis has been a political clown.
He was reprimanded by the Inspector General for giving political favors out of her visas. He is absolutely horrific. This disinformation campaign is, I think it's unconstitutional. I think they're doing it to give social media and other traditional outlets an excuse to do further suppression of conservative viewpoints. It's obviously political in its nature, but it's also that was something that was tried in the Obama administration.
They had what was called SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act. They tried to give unilateral authority through legislation to homeland. Security to take down websites, and guess what? It didn't pass.
So now they're trying to do it through an executive order. Who even knows if the president knows what's going on here? Back to the border for a moment. Here's Congressman Jordan, and I'm going to ask you the same question. But here's what he speculates: the border is so porous, it's handled so terribly.
They've defanged ICE, they've diminished the border patrol. The only thing they cared about is when those horse border patrol agents evidently were doing something inappropriate to the Haitians, which turned out not to be true. Cut five. We have a Secretary of Homeland Security who is intentionally, deliberately, in a premeditated fashion, executing a plan, his words, executing a plan to overwhelm our country with millions and millions of illegal migrants. Executing a plan that causes all kinds of harm to people who make the journey, executing a plan that results in record levels of fentanyl and other drugs entering our nation.
Executing a plan that stresses our border agents, stresses our education and health care system, stresses our nation. Any hyperbole? It's all done intentionally. It's 100% correct. It is.
Is it intentional? Like, why would someone want to fail this bed, or are they failing? It is intentional because the border was becoming increasingly secure until day one of the Biden-Harris administration. And how many times, Brian, have you interviewed and talked to people like Brian Judd, who's the head of the National Border Patrol Council? Don't take my word for it, although I've been to the border like six or seven times more than the President of the United States has in Kamala Harris.
Talk to the Border Patrol agents, the ICE officers, how overwhelmed and how the policies of this administration are not allowing them to do their job and they're doing the catch and release. The number one job of the Secretary of Homeland Security. The whole reason the agency was created was to protect the homeland from terrorists, not some Twitter. Person, but from terrorists, and he doesn't know off the top of his head how many terrorists are in the United States and how many were released. I think he actually does know that number.
He doesn't want it exposed.
So it was great questioning. Let's listen to it. Cut to. Secretary, have any of the 42 illegal migrants on the terrorist watch list or no-fly list encountered on our southwest border been released into the United States? Ranking Member Jordan, as I mentioned before, I will provide that data to you with respect to the disposition of each one.
I do not know the answer to your question. The Secretary of Homeland Security does not know the answer to the status of 42 individuals who came to our southern border illegally are on the no-fly list and the terrorist watch list. You do not know whether they have been released or not into the country. That's your testimony. Ranking Member Jordan, as I've said before, I will provide you the data.
So how hard would it have been you do this stuff? To turn around and tell you, staffer, could you just get me the answer to that? I'm going to sit here and they'll come back with the answer. There, why are we waiting? Or is there something else?
The hearing goes on for hours. There were times when I was chairman, I would actually go into recess and say, You make whatever call you need to make, come back in and tell us that answer. But the gavel is not in Jordan's hand yet. I think the other, the biggest story coming out of because he's a ranking member, if he was chairman, it would have been a different story. You could ask for it in real time.
Absolutely, and you can issue a subpoena for that information and have a due date that's that day. You could do those types of things. I think Congressman Stuby's questioning was actually the biggest story of the day, that it got zero coverage. He said that, Hey, Mr. Mayarkis or Secretary Mayarkis, you said that white supremacy is the number one threat to our country.
Can you name a single case that you have referred for prosecution on white supremacists? And the answer was zero. And then he highlighted a Department of Justice report that said that 50%, according to the congressman, 50%. Of the prosecutions going on through the federal department of justice. were aliens, and that there were over 35,000 of those were from criminal aliens.
There's a difference between aliens and criminal aliens. If half of the Department of Justice is spending their time on aliens, Don't you think the threat of the southwest border is the biggest issue? And And yet, he can't name a single case where white supremacy was the case that they referred to the DOJ. It's pretty nuts.
So, Nina Jankowicz. Came out and was named, even though she's eight and a half months pregnant, which is great. Congratulations. But if you're about to take a job, should you be taking a job eight and a half months pregnant? You're going to be out for three months.
What are you doing? You put a judge. She took a job during a substance. And nobody noticed, Paulie was gone for two months.
Well, but we didn't get anything delivered. We almost didn't have Christmas. And he didn't have a replacement to fill in.
So who's going to fill in? That's terrible management. I mean, whatever it is, you take paternity, maternity, whatever it is, I get it. But would you say, listen, You might want somebody else for the job. I'm about to give birth.
Well, no, you can take the job, but okay, who's going to be the acting person until you come back? I don't have any problem with that. But now we need to know: okay, if it's not her, who's going to fill in until she gets back for maternity leave?
So we understand, too, we don't really have any precedent for this. But now we got the fake news police.
So Mayorkas testified two days ago that a disinformation government board has recently been created days after Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter. And by the way, when he heard about this, he just tweeted discomforting. Must post it on Twitter. The board executive is Nina Jankowicz. She previously served as his disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center, which is really great in stuff that doesn't matter.
Zjankowicz told NPR that she shudders to think about more free speech on social media platforms. She said that last week. This is part of the interview process.
So here we go. Here she is. Uh on NPR talking about that, cut eleven. I shudder to think about if free speech absolutists were taking over more platforms, what that would look like for the marginalized communities all around the world, which are already shouldering so much of this abuse, disproportionate amounts of this abuse. They reach for minorities in everything they say.
What are they talking about? Disinformation's hurting the working class? And she said, around the world.
So she thinks that her job is not just a domestic one, it's a global one that she's got to protect.
Meanwhile, it's just. It is so counter look.
Social media, traditional media, they're looking for an excuse to do the further suppression. I think one of the biggest vulnerabilities for Elon Musk taking over Twitter is his actual exposure of the shadow banning and the suppression. That when he's able to get his technical support, he's going to tell us about what happened and if that is real and expose what Google, Alphabet, Facebook, Instagram, what they're doing, that I think is what they're really ultimately scared of. When you hire somebody at this level, you got to go through a thorough background check. You got to find out about their personal life.
I think you would think. And then you also, for some reason, some people feel as though they have to show their other talents. Nina evidently has another talent.
So let's listen to what she does on TikTok, CUD13. Information laundering is really quite ferocious. It's when a huckster takes some lies and makes them sound precocious by saying them in Congress or a mainstream outlet.
So disinformation's origins are slightly less atrocious. It's how you hide a little eye, little lie, it's how you hide a little eye, little lie, it's how you hide a little hide a little lie when Giuliani shared that in love in Ukraine, or when TikTok influencers say COVID can cause pain. They're laundering December when we really should take note And not support their lies with our wallet, voice or vote Oh my god. Do you believe this? Huh?
Look, we're listening to it on radio. Can you imagine how bad it is with video?
Well, no, I've seen it on video. It's pretty amazing.
So we found that TikTok. Do you think that Joe Biden says, listen, you're pretty good, but I need to. Can you sing? And did you think you can dance for me? I need to know you could do more because we have parties, we have get-togethers.
I'd like to know my disinformation director can do more than one thing, and that is to spot disinformation, which she's not good at because she missed the laptop being authentic. She also said Christopher Steele gives a great speech on fake news.
So this is unbelievable. And Mayarkis couldn't answer the question.
So if there's misinformation from the government that's put out about COVID, is that fall in the realm? And of course, Mayorkis punted on that one. Right.
So you want to hear that?
So I know you like different testimony than we've pulled, so I'm sure our show let you down, Jason. But here is Congressman Jim Jordan asking the questions.
Now that you got this fake news bureau, what are we going to do about this, CUD 14? When the head of the CDC, Ms. Walinski, said that the vaccinated can't get the virus, did that undermine trust in government? Dr. Fauci, when he said the virus didn't come from a lab, did that undermine trust in government?
How about with fifty one former Intel officials Told us that the Hunter Biden story had all the earmarks of Russian misinformation. Will that be something that this governance board that you just formed, will you be looking into that? Congressman, the Disinformation Board. addresses disinformation that imperils the safety and security of our homeland. And one of the primary areas that we are focused on is the dissemination of disinformation and its potential Oh my goodness.
Talk about saying nothing. The guys are professional at testifying. That's why Major Cas is the Secretary of Homeland Security. It isn't because of competence. I thought he looked terrible.
Oh, it's awful. But I thought he did terrible. There were people that are good. Like, whenever you think of Christopher Ray, he doesn't crack, he's like a stone.
Well, you know, we just saw William Barr. William Barr, you couldn't read him. This guy was falling apart to me. He looked like he's trying to sell something that is fundamentally false and counter to the core values of the United States of America. There's nothing worse going on than the way Homeland Security is operating.
Secret Service is the responsibility. That's falling apart. You've seen the problems that they're having there. Homeland Security, in terms of ICE and the Border Patrol, that's not working. I mean, what does he actually point to that is working well?
Perhaps the Coast Guard, but I don't know. He's got no success to point to. We have to pull some of the Coast Guard in and say, could you come to shore? How's it going? You know, that's about it because we can't get to them.
So, listen, Jason, stick around for a couple more minutes. We're going to talk a little bit about the war in Ukraine. And then, what are you promoting? Are you in and around here? You have a big speech coming up?
No, I'm just here to support. My friend Brian Kilmey. Is he really? I've actually brought my wife on this trip, so this is great. This is great, yeah.
So you're not sacrificing anything. No. You have your family on the road. Yeah. So when we uh because your your grandchildren, your all your kids don't travel with you, right?
No, not on this trip. I got four. I got four grandkids. Yes. Wow, that's unbelievable.
I'm getting older. But you still look young. When we come back, we're going to take we're going to talk Chase a little bit more. And then Brett Baer at the bottom of the yard. See if he has anything interesting to say.
Back in a moment. Educating, entertaining, enlightening. You're with Brian Kilmead. The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead.
This morning, President Biden has sent Congress his request for $33 billion in emergency funding to support the Ukrainian people. This is a big but critically necessary package. I will make sure the Senate prioritizes this important funding package so we can get help. to the Ukrainian people fast. A SAP.
$33 billion. The president asked for it. Schumer's going to push it. Will it be stopped? Congressman Jason Chaffetz in Studio Fox News contributor.
Jason, what do you think? I think we're about 90 days behind the supplies that should have been flowing into Ukraine. I think they should have been done before the invasion, once it started. Look, logistically, the United States of America is second to none. We are the best in the world if we had the political will to do things.
But boy, we are still slow. And don't blame Congress for the appropriations were there. The weapons were there. The administration has just been super slow. How unbelievable is it that China, according to the Wall Street Journal today, is going to level off their purchase of Russian oil?
But they're going to buy it from Iran. Not great, but that's unbelievable. And Germany is well on its way to getting off oil and gas from Russia. We thought that was going to take forever. We doubted their focus on doing it, but it's happening.
It's pretty amazing.
That funds the war machine. I think there was this political perception that Russia would roll in and win this thing in a matter of days or maybe a couple of weeks. But now that we're much further into it, Russia ultimately is going to be a loser. They're going to be in a per. Protracted war, and I think China and Germany are saying, ah, we got to get out of this.
Gordon Chang has a great op-ed out. I think it's in Newsweek, and he talks about China's biggest threat to them, according to President Xi, is decoupling. If they don't have relationships with other parts of the world for good solid trading partners, Then their economy collapses. And so they're decoupling and they're recognizing that Russia. They're a poor nation and they're losing this war, and it it's not worth giving up instead of the relationship with the United States.
So I want General Keene says don't give Vladimir Putin has not given up on taking Kyiv still. And then bombing and sho like sending rockets into Kiev with the UN General Secretary there, and then denying Bulgaria and Poland their natural gas. Forcing them to do what maybe they were going to slowly do, but do it right away. These are bad moves on the surface. I don't I don't see these being I don't care if you agree with Russia or not, but these are bad moves for them.
Putin's becoming increasingly irrational, and that's a scary thing. I think General Keene is right, and it's scary when you get that big a person with nuclear weapons in an irrational state. Not healthy. Not healthy. He doesn't look settled.
You saw him on Easter Sunday, or their Easter Sunday. He doesn't look good. All right, you do. Hey, thank you. All right, much better than Vitamin Putin.
I need to do some more sit-ups, but yeah, I guess. I think you're in very good shape. Jason Chavitz, thank you. Brett Baer, next. The talk show that's getting you talking.
You're with Brian Kilmead. We inherited a broken and dismantled system that is already under strain. It is not built to manage the current levels and types of migratory flows. Only Congress can fix this. We have effectively managed an unprecedented number of non-citizens.
seeking to enter the United States. That is some of the disastrous testimony of Secretary Majorkis. Joining me now in studio, Brett Baer, who had Jim Jordan in last night, who just wiped the floor with him yesterday. Brett, welcome back. Hey, how are you, bro?
So good.
Now, I know one of the questions you asked Jim Jordan was, what about theatrics? Are you not really getting things done?
Sometimes you could see right through it. What I saw from him and others is just anger and frustration because we're watching the whole southern border fall apart, correct? No, that's true. And there's a lot of passion about that because they're watching things. They're talking to Border Patrol officers.
My only point was, you know, you only have five minutes. And so some people go after yeah, some people go after substance and and trying to get Answers, others go for commercials for their reelection campaigns. But you're right, the issue itself. Is problematic, to say the least, politically more so than not just in those border states, but other states. All that you have to know is that.
Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan from New Hampshire. does a campaign commercial at Trump's border wall. in Texas. I mean, that that tells you everything you need to know about the the issue and how important it is. True.
One of the craziest things I've seen is the announcement of this so-called fake news police that's going to be coming out now with this Nina Jankowitz. She'll serve as the disinformation czar, it sounds like to me. And I don't know how it's going to be implemented. What's the penalty going to be? What's going to be the judgment?
What's going to be the focus? What could you tell me about this? I can't. I can't even tell you that I believe that it's It's a thing. I I know that that's what they're saying, but it's hard to believe that they're actually pitching this.
uh with that person Uh it's I I can't believe in a divided Congress that this is going to move forward. I just can't. I have Secretary of Myorkis on Fox News Sunday this weekend, and um obviously, this is one line of questioning that um He's gonna have to answer. I mean, he's uh I guess that she has some things she said in the past about the laptop, things she said in the past about Christopher Steele. I mean, she might be the worst, even though her resume looks fine, her actions make her look terrible.
And I think she's eight months pregnant. I congratulate her. But would you ever take a job you're not going to be able to start? That's why I say I can't believe I mean, I didn't even actually know the pregnancy part, but I can't believe that this is actually real. I kind of feel like somebody's gonna say, No, no, no, we're just kidding.
But so far they're not. And listen, you look at some of those issues, whether it's the Hunter laptop, whether it's the Wuhan lab, whether it's other things that actually were called uh conspiracies and Uh we couldn't put them out on Facebook or Twitter. And then months later turn out to be what people are talking about. Uh this doesn't seem like it uh is going to go far.
So that would be one thing I thought it was a pretty good hypothetical that Jim Jordan threw out at him, at Mayorkis. Here's an example of let's see if the crackdown will take place even against the Biden administration, CUP 14. When the head of the CDC, Ms. Walinski, said that the vaccinated can't get the virus, did that undermine trust in government? Dr.
Fauci, when he said the virus didn't come from a lab, did that undermine trust in government? How about when fifty one former Intel officials Told us that the Hunter Biden story had all the earmarks of Russian misinformation. Will that be something that this governance board that you just formed, will you be looking into that? Congressman, the Disinformation Board. addresses disinformation that imperils the safety and security of our homeland.
And one of the primary areas that we are focused on is the dissemination of disinformation and its potential Yeah, I guess the answer is yes, because the C D C did give under mis misinformation, right? I mean, what about the every time you got a c uh at a account suspended by Twitter when you uh said I believe the the virus came from a lab in China. You got suspended.
So I guess are these people going to be jailed? Mm-hmm. How about um the masks early on? Whether it was the CDC saying you didn't need a mask or later on saying, the efficacy of masks and then coming out later and saying, well, in reality, It doesn't really work. Um in essence, you know, depending on the mask you wear.
I mean, whatever. All of the different iterations of the mask issue from beginning throughout and the evolution of that, i i it's just um bizarre to think that this is the answer. And I can't believe that this is just not a shiny thing to focus on. For the right I don't know the purpose of why this is being launched right now, other than it takes attention away from something else? I don't know.
Um That could be it. We got hit with so much over the last couple of days. that maybe that could be a part of it. The President makes his announcement, I'm going to need $33 billion for Ukraine.
So there's so much coming out that maybe won't be a lot of focus. That's an interesting takeaway. This is what the Obama administration used to do. They used to throw, you know, when they had a tough week, they would throw a bunch of things at the wall, knowing that a bunch of them wouldn't stick, but that it would generate all kinds of coverage of something. And in reality, they were covering up the fact that it was a really bad week.
Right.
So, Brett, what is your take on Elon Musk and the reaction to it? I think it's telling, you know, how many heads are exploding over it. I think, you know, you guys play it on Fox and Friends and I I looked at on on social media that Ari Melberg doing his thing about someone owning Twitter could could exclude people or their views or turn something up or turn something down and it's just What where has he been? I think i it's really telling about who's having a big problem with it and who's kind of waiting to see what happens. And right now, he seems to be having a good time with it.
You surprise that he's tweeting about this? You surprised at the sketch that we woke up to today? He said, look at me in 2008 and he had a big timeline and the middle is moderate. Left is Democrat. Right is Republican.
Has himself on the left in between, way left and in between. Then he gets to the middle and now he has himself center right. He said because he believes, and I'll paraphrase, you know, the Democrats have gone way woke.
So he does kind of drop the veil a little bit in saying that, you know, there's no doubt about it. I've changed because the Democrats have changed in his view. Yeah, and I think his big thing is trolling people. I I Yeah. but for billions of dollars to troll I wonder on the business side how he's going to put all this together.
I mean, he is the richest man in the world, but it's on paper, and you've got to have. You know, the money to make it stick. I do think that the Bezos tweet about, How much investment China has in Tesla and how he's beholden to China. He kind of walked back a little bit, but I bet you start seeing some of that, like concerns about Elon Musk's ties to China and what that means for. freedom of speech from critics.
And I I think you know, it all of this talk about regulation. surprisingly is coming, not so surprisingly, after he buys Twitter. Right.
So we'll see what happens because we know Tesla lost a lot of money originally, but I don't think he's concerned about money and wealth. If you read, look back at his timeline. I mean, he almost lost everything a few times. He could be retiring on some island and own the island. But he wants to be in the arena.
Talk about in the arena. Let's talk about what's happening in Ukraine. The $33 billion that they're requesting. I imagine, unless it's tied to something the Democrat Republicans can't stomach, they're going to get it. Listen to what Jack Keene told me today, though, for those people who think Ukraine has won Cut 31.
I think we should still remind ourselves, while the fight has taken place in the south, and it's going to be a very intense fight as these forces join, that Putin, I don't believe for a minute, has given up completely on toppling the entire country. And certainly that continuous bombardment is part of that strategy. We've always said there's two strategies here: one is the ground forces strategy to seize terrain and destroy Ukraine ground forces. The other thing is to break the will of the people by the continuous bombardment.
I mean, but that seems like such a long shot. Don't you agree? Yeah, I do. And I think the more that we see the Russian military, I think the more. That is a long shot.
The Ukrainians have put up a a really stiff battle. But I do agree with General Keene that. The thought that you could just somehow cut off Donbas and the East and Crimea and then Putin will be satiated and kind of go his own way, I don't think that that's real. I think he reconstitutes and goes back at it. And at least that's the history of how Russia's operated before.
I I do think that there is pushback inside the U. S. about You know, as we're facing all kinds of economic questions and looking at a Q1 that is down 1.4%. You know, 33 billion is 33 billion. And while it means a lot in the world picture, there may be starts starting to say, you know, when do those dollar figures stop flowing into Ukraine?
So, something I'm pretty encouraged that the Europeans are doing things I never expected because of the threat of losing oil and gas, which is direct and happening to Bulgaria and Poland. Germany's made a move.
Now, up until this point, they relied on Russia for 55% of their natural gas needs. Moscow's invasion since then, they're down to 35%, and they're going to get even lower. By the end of the year, German officials said they hope to be drawing less than a third of the country's gas from Russia. When it comes to oil, they say 25% of their coal and only 35% of their oil is coming from Russia. And according to the Wall Street Journal, they're going to get down to zero this year.
I mean, that does fund the Europeans, they are their best customer, and it does fund the Moscow war machine. That could do a lot. Yeah, it really could. I mean, that's the biggest the biggest thing. If you really want to hit Russia, you would sanction in oil and gas and actually have effective sanctions.
I mean, some of the sanctions against that and and dealing with those banks don't kick in till mid-June. and others are full of holes for the Russians to continue to sell oil, which they're doing. GazProm is making more money now than it did at the beginning of the war. But if Europe does that and changes their appetite for Russian Energy, that really is a hit. Yeah, something was almost unexpected.
Brett, have you picked your panel today and have they been informed? Could I be blowing the secret? You could be blowing the secret, but it's I know this, that we are working on locking down the panel, but they will be in studio, which has been a wonderful change. Love that, right? Because you interact with people.
You've been doing it for a while on the curvy couch, but Special Reports just getting back in the game. You're lonely. I'm lonely. I need some people in there.
Okay. All right. Stay out of Florida. That's one reason why you don't get lonely. That's right.
All right. Hey, thanks so much, Brett. Have a great show. Red Bear. 1866-408-7669.
Back with your calls in a moment. This weekend, check out Brian's new show on Fox News Channel. Yeah, Brian Kilmead. He's got a new show on Saturdays because apparently he's cheaper than infomercials for non-stick fans. That is not true.
Chill out, Gutfeld. That really hurts. One Nation with Brian Kilmead. Saturdays at 8 p.m. Eastern on Fox News Channel.
More of Brian coming up. He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Kilmead. There'll be tears. There'll be so many tears.
Because this has been the hardest decision I've ever had to make it really has a I've never taken this job for granted, ever. Not once. And if you... The fact that you watch us at home Or you watch us online, wherever you are, all over the world, the fact that we get to try and entertain you and spend time with you is an absolute privilege for me and every single person who makes this show. Um Here's to the next 12 months and it's gonna be a blast.
I promise you that.
So he's got 12 more months, and James Corden's going to be out. He's going to move on. That's unbelievable. I think by far he's the most talented guy in late night, and he's moving on. Let's go.
Time out to find out if there's more to know. More. To know. So he's 43 years old. He's an actor-singer.
And James Corden said he's going to go do something else. I think he's going back to England. I don't think he likes it here. I don't know, like he has right a wife and kids, and I don't know, or does he want to do more movies? He's done acting before, he likes to sing.
I mean, the whole thing, I saw the other day, Nicholas Cage does his show. A lot of big celebrities like his show, like they found his show. Part of it is in Los Angeles.
Well, that's true, and he does different things, right? Like the carpool karaoke and the, you know, when they go into the middle of the street and sing and dance.
So I think it's sort of refreshing. Right.
He's a full-you're not going to see Jimmy Kilborne.
Well, Jimmy Fallon does a lot of that stuff, but nobody cares. And I don't think the Reigns are necessarily great, but I think he gets a lot on YouTube and gets his clicks there. And it was a prestigious job. Craig Kilbourne, I think, started the first one. And then Ferguson came in next, Craig Ferguson.
And then he takes over. When Craig Ferguson didn't get the CBS show, he's like, I might as well move on.
So that's what happened. The sad part is he's the only one in the late night, as our listeners know, who is tolerable because he'll play his cuts. I know. And you know what? He definitely is somebody who goes out of his way not to be political.
So let's find out if there's even more to know. I don't like that story. A marriage American sets four different alarms to wake up at a poll of 2,000 adults. One quarter typically, 24% sleep in a bit because they believe it helps their relationships. Six in 10 claim hitting the snooze button, getting more sleep, helps them with a better lifestyle.
Furthermore, 71% think the amount of sleep they get directly impacts their social health. Interesting. Ab on average, how many times do you hit snooze in the morning? Um I haven't hit it in a while. That's impressive.
Not since I started doing the Extra New York hits, like the extra local hits, because I gotta get up even earlier.
So I cannot.
So you're earlier than 2:20 now? Earlier than 220. No, no, I'm around 220.
So I was kind of backing off a little bit.
Okay, so you're not really, you know, not that sleeping in. Yeah, I might as well be sleeping all day.
Next, seven in seven is the magic number when it comes to sleep for middle-aged older Americans. This research from the University of Cambridge and a new study examining data from nearly half a million people in the UK and China from the age 38 to 73. Researchers asked participants about their sleeping patterns. The team found that both insufficient and excessive sleep duration had a connection to impair cognitive performance. And that's true.
If you sleep too much, don't you feel flat? A little flub, but I think seven hours for you would be sleeping too much. Oh, that would be. I'd get up in physical pain.
Next, Tropicana is unveiling a cereal meant to be eaten with orange juice. The fruit company said the followers of the Instagram page will have the chance to win a box of Tropicana crunch, described as the first cereal made from OJ. The honey almond cereal is designed to be eaten with orange juice instead of milk. Quote: Prepare your mind and cereal bowl for an unforgettable breakfast experience. Tropicana said the specifics of the giveaway will be unveiled on May 4th on Instagram.
Would you do it? One of one is genius. You think? Yes. If you could sell people on the need to have orange juice in their cereal, it's another reason to get orange juice.
There's no one's buying milk anymore unless you put it in your cereal.
Well, I mean, that is true, but I. Or if you have young kids. Yeah. But, um,. I don't know, just the thought of orange juice and cereal, like it's making my mouth, like, cringe.
Next generation LAZ, one in three adults never clean up on their lazy. I have no idea. Why did they just spell it out? More than a third of Gen Z respondents say they don't pick up their dog. That's kind of disgusting.
Next and finally, this is the first pick of the draft and how it sounded last night: Jaguars. Or not. We have music playing. There we go. With the first pick.
In the 2022 NFL draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select Trayvon Walker. Big Marine family. He's going to be great. Jaguars need it. They have a lot of talent now.
They're young talent. Once they do that, then they'll start rebuilding the city and Jacksonville will be even a better place to be.
