Live from the Fox News Radio Studios in New York City, fresh off the set of Fox and Friends, it's America's receptive voice. Brian Kilmead. Welcome to the Brian Kilmead Show. Harry Hurley filling in today. Brian has the day off.

Brian will be back tomorrow. I'm partnering today with Allison, of course. Pete and Josh. Eric also has the day off. Welcome to the Brian Kilmead Show.

Brian, not just in my esteem, Brian literally holds a place. On the Mount Rushmore of the most important talk radio programs in America today, Talkers Magazine, which is the bible of talk radio and the new talk media, rates Brian Kilmead. As the fourth most important radio talk show host in America.

Well earned, Brian. You can follow Brian Kilmead at BrianKilmead.com, thebriankilmeadshow.com. And Brian, of course, is also a New York Times best-selling author. Brian's latest bestseller is available. And if you go to Brian's store at BrianKilmead.com, he'll autograph it for you.

And do not forget, Saturday nights will never be the same, and you get two opportunities. The first version at 8 p.m. with Brian Kilmead, One Nation with Brian Kilmead.

Do not miss that. We'll talk more about that during today's program, this upcoming program, which is on at 8 o'clock on the Fox News channel. And then I believe it's on again at 11 p.m. But there is a second viewing every single Saturday. Welcome.

To the Brian Kilmead Show. We're going to be joined by Lieutenant Colonel Alan West in just a moment. Let me tell you just a little bit about the Colonel, although he's no stranger to the Brian Kilmead Show. He's a great friend to the Brian Kilmead Show. The executive director of American Constitutional Rights Union, he's a former member of what I call the People's House, the United States House of Representatives, where he represented Florida's 22nd congressional district from 2011 to 2013.

Recently, as you know, a candidate for governor of the great state of Texas and also a best-selling author. Books Hold Texas, Hold the Nation, Victory or Death, and We Can Overcome: An American Black Conservative Manifesto. He was positioned in Kandahar, Afghanistan, when he was serving our country. He was an advisor to the Afghan National Army. And not that Colonel West has to do anything to.

make news. But a couple of weeks ago, his speech attempted speech, do you say? When they try when you're trying to do free speech and your free speech is stunted, it's kind of ironic, isn't it? At the University of Buffalo's presentation that Colonel West. gave, attempted to gai to give, and yet when you talk about free speech.

And we have in this sort of bizarro world existence of the moment. It's much like the Democrats are going bananas, bonkers, over Elon Musk purchasing Twitter because they like it the way that it is. They believe in a perfect utopia. I would call it dystopian, but in their perfect utopia world, Free speech means their speech. And if you don't agree with their speech, your speech is taken down, or is called partial truth, or partly false, or some sign put over your particular attempted free speech.

Or perhaps you have a different opinion on COVID-19, or you have a different opinion on Hunter Biden, and they take your stuff down altogether, and then, just for fun and giggles, they deplatform you. And of course, all these things that were said to be false. Turn out to be true. If you have a different view on COVID-19, and look at all the data that's coming out, how wrong the so-called experts were. If you didn't go with their company line, Your truth was taken down, your opinion was taken down, you were probably either put in some kind of social media jail for hours, sometimes days, even weeks, or.

deplatformed altogether.

So a lot. To unpack this hour on the Brian Kilmeat Show. And the team is going to let me know when Colonel West arrives. Is he here? Fantastic.

I was hoping that would be the case. Colonel West is Harry, and it is a pleasure to speak with you again, my friend. And thanks so much for having me, and a great opening monologue that you gave because. You know, right now it is not about free speech, it's about accepted speech, and it's about what the left determines to be acceptable or accepted speech. And when you think about this apoplectic meltdown that they're having about uh Elon Musk, They didn't care about him starting Tesla and growing Tesla because they believe in electric vehicles and green energy and everything like that.

They didn't care about Michael Bloomberg having a huge media presence with Bloomberg News. They didn't care anything about Mark Zuckerberg and all that he has done. But now all of a sudden, when they believe that they will not be able to censor the speech of political opposition or people that have different perspectives or thoughts, that really does upset them. And I just want to remind everybody of what some Senator Daniel Patrick Monaghan once said, the liberal Democrat senator from New York, he said, you're entitled to your own opinions, but you're not entitled to your own facts. And let me add one more for that great repertoire, Colonel West.

The Democrats had no problem. All the same people celebrated when Jeff Bezos purchased the Washington Post, where evidently that was a beautiful thing. That was fantastic. The second richest man in the world bought the Washington Post, and it was fantastical. It was beautiful.

It fit the narrative. But of course, the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, purchased his Twitter, and it's the end of the republic. Let's prove further. How correct you are, Colonel West, on the Brian Kilmead show. We're going to play two audio clips that are separated in time by about two weeks.

We'll go to the first cut in just a moment. I'll set the stage at the actual event where Colonel West was speaking.

So ironic that Colonel West was speaking about the fact that America is not a racist nation and yet what then transpired thereafter. And then we're going to follow immediately with two days ago or so and the response from the University of Buffalo Student Union on Colonel West.

So if you would do the honors, Josh, cut 28. No just down just now just my man, you're cold. that the Therese is her name. She went and she said that, oh, Alan West did experience racism, but he overcame it.

So you agree that America can be racist, right? But he just overcame that.

So you know what I mean?

So they legit, they didn't do it. And then another point that she was trying to make was wanted to have a conversation and facilitate. That's not how you facilitate a conversation. You don't come up and say America is not racist and be like, I was just trying to have a dialogue. That's not how you have those dialogues, especially as a student org.

You reach out to other student orgs, especially like the BSU, other black orgs, and you try to prove your point as to why America is not racist. It was all just a show to get people riled up. And even Alan West himself stood up and said, everywhere I go to have this speech, this is exactly what happens. They're used to this happening. They want us to get rallied.

And Colonel West, I know you're used to this. It's such a double standard. It's so, you know. Indecent. You put your life on the line in the field of battle.

You served in the people's house. You've accomplished many, many things. And yet, this is almost expected, isn't it? Yeah, it's sad that when you go on a college and university campus, this is what you're met with. And I just could not understand the point that any of these young people were attempting to make.

And the fact that here I am a person born 61 years ago in a blacks-only hospital, I think I can talk about America and what I've seen happen in my lifetime and how we have progressed. And the fact that I was able to rise to the ranks to a lieutenant colonel, be a member of the United States House of Representatives, be a chairman of the Republican Party of Texas. But that's not what they wanted to hear. They only want to hear their narrative. They only want to hear their talking points.

And I guess for them, they were provoked. They found it offensive that a black man born down south would stand up and say, this is not a racist nation. You know, this is a nation that is seeking every single day to become that more perfect union, which is in the preamble of the Constitution. I've seen racism. My parents saw racism.

But when you're sitting on a college campus and you don't want to learn, you don't want to hear any different thoughts or perspectives, that's not what a campus is supposed to be about. And I guess I try. Triggered them and provoked them and everything because I didn't tell their line, and I'm not going to. On the Brian Kilmeat Show, newsmaker hotline is Lieutenant Colonel Alan West. Colonel, let's go to the news of the last couple of days with Elon Musk and his $44 billion purchase of Twitter.

And he has telegraphed that he just wants it to be fair to all. I think this is living proof. The hard left does not want a level playing field. They only want a playing field where their opinions and their alternative facts even prevail, whether it was Hunter Biden, whether it was COVID-19, or many other things that were once false and got you deplatformed.

Now they're true, and I don't hear anybody apologizing or any of that.

So Musk wants it to be a level playing field, and this has the Democrats going. Berserk your thoughts. Yeah, it does. I mean, now we see who the real fascists are because they are trying to su suppress the the thoughts and the speech and the uh the freedom of expression, all the First Amendment rights of those That don't agree with them. Look, leftism, progressivism, socialism, communism, Marxism, whatever you want to call it.

Only advance itself through fear, intimidation, threats, coercion, and ultimately violence. And we've seen all of this even from the American left happening within the last couple of years. And what is even more disturbing is when you have someone like Hillary Clinton, a former candidate for president, that is contacting the European Union and asking them to pass a law to suppress the freedom of speech of Americans and to suppress what Elon Musk would like to see happen with Twitter. Wh when did we go to the Europeans and ask them to suppress us? That to me is unconscious.

And how could a person like that have ever run for President in the United States of America? It is beyond me. Truly, truly incredible, Lieutenant Colonel West. Let's go to some additional audio to give you a chance to provide some analysis from your point of view, Colonel West. Cut twenty six.

I thought Black Lives Matter. Where are all those who stated Black lives matter. When are we going to start asking these serious questions? If black lives matter, then the thousands of people I saw on the street. When Floyd was murdered, Should be on the street right now stating that the lives of these black children that are dying every night matters.

We can't be hypocrites.

Now, New York Mayor Eric Adams, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, makes a very good point, doesn't he, Colonel West? No, he does. And that's the response that I always give is when people start shouting Black Lives Matter, I say, which Black Lives? We did not hear any celebration of the loss of life of the Texas Army National Guard soldier or specialist events who died drowned while trying to rescue two illegal immigrants in the Rio Grande River who happened to be drug smugglers.

Now where's the celebration? As a matter of fact, no one even from the White House, Jin Saki, tried to dismiss this, and they didn't talk about it for forty eight, almost seventy two hours. The black lives, 25 million almost that are murdered in the room. No one's speaking about that. The gang violence, no one's speaking about that.

The fatherlessness issue, no one's speaking about that. As a matter of fact, the kids up there in Buffalo shouted me down when I said that was one of the biggest issues in the black community right now is fatherlessness. And then the other thing is the lack of good quality education in the black community because the teachers' unions are making sure that You don't have. The quality schools in our inner city communities. And so, what about those lives?

So, I think that that's, again, part of the messaging that we have to get out there and challenge the left on because Black Lives Matter is a Marxist organization that is only being leveraged using the leftist resources of George Soros and others to talk about the black lives that fit their narrative. Lieutenant Colonel West, we're down to about a minute and a half. Hank Newsom, who I think a lot of people on the Brian Kilmey show have heard say some of the most outrageous things you'll ever hear, here's how he interprets. What Mayor Adams had to say. Josh Cut27.

Let's get back to Eric Adams, this mayor who spew who is a Democrat, but he spews conservative and Republican talking points. At the end of the day, we have a name for someone like this, and this is someone we'd call a corporate. Right? Because if he's a black man, and he's a white man in blackface, and a very conservative-minded white man at that.

So, what we have is a man with. Hundreds of people on the city's payroll, billions of dollars in budget, and 40,000 police officers. He has 10 victims in one night. The night before, he had 16 shooting victims on a train. And they say, What are you going to do about policing?

And he says, What about BLM? Is America not smart enough to see him deflecting? Colonel, 30 seconds. How about that? He just said everything you need to hear, didn't he?

Yes, he did, and that's the perspective of the talented tenth, as W.B. Du Bois would call them. Look, they called Larry Elder the blackface of white supremacists. I've been told that I am speaking about anti-black rhetoric. This is how they deflect to get away from the real issues.

And Eric Adams is not a conservative. Eric Adams is not a Republican. Eric Adams is carrying on a lot of the policies of Mayor Bill de Blasio. But we've got to stand up and push against these I call them the poppy pimps. I think you're right about that.

In fact, I know you're right about that. And thank you for appearing on the Brian Kilmey Show, Lieutenant Colonel West. My pleasure. All the best, Harry. You take good care.

Alan West is a great American. You think about the grief that he has to put up with because of a certain narrative that if you do not fit that narrative, you get trashed and you get called all these different things. Thank you for a great visit. We'll be back in just a little bit. This is the Brian Kilmead Show: Honest commentary, unique opinions, no agenda.

Please don't miss this. I feel like I'm doing you a favor. Do not miss. Brian Kilmead is the kind of person He doesn't mark time. He makes a difference.

He doesn't waste time. Every segment is important to him. Every show that he does is important to him. And at this moment, and I believe this is a demarcation line that I'll talk a little bit about after I talk about Brian. This program this Saturday night on Fox News Channel, and it's a Fox Nation special.

That's av it's available tomorrow on Fox Nation. Do not miss. Who? Brian brings with him Stuart Varney, Liz Klayman, Carol Frederick, who's a fellow at the Heritage Foundation, and Seth Dillon, the chief executive officer of the Babylon B.

Now, remember, they're in the laugh business, they're in the satire business, and even they get deplatformed because their truth, their humor is more true than the so-called straight news. Elon Musk, people look at him so many different ways: visionary, villain. Huckster, genius. I'm going with the genius category because this guy has conquered space. He has built incredible electric cars.

He has now Succeeded, I believe. There's still some things that have to take place, but I believe he succeeded in. Taking the Twitter platform, and he's already. Called out the senior attorney for Twitter for what they've had to say. about free speech and what this may do.

What this may do is actually bring about free speech. in our country. And a little bit later in the program, we're going to share some comments from Jim Jordan on the Fox News channel with Annity about this issue. I believe that the day that Elon Musk officially takes over Twitter, And you can see already. Him buying 9.2% of the company and then making this offer.

Of more than $54 a share, which was a real premium. I mean, this is a publicly traded company. They had to look at this, and they did, and they've accepted it. This can change the whole game where Democrats have dominated social media in a way that was never intended, where conservative, even moderate free speech was stunted. We'll be back.

I have the privilege. To fill in, and also the professional privilege to be partnered with Allison Pete and Josh. Eric will be back soon as well. Joining us now on the Brian Kilmeet Show on the Brian Kilmeat Show Newsmaker Hotline is Rich Lowry, a great friend of the Brian Kilmeat Show, editor-in-chief of National Review and the author of The Case for Nationalism. Rich, welcome to the Brian Kilmeat Show.

Hey, I hope you take responsibility seriously. You're sitting in an important seat. I do. My my goal my number one goal, Rich, is don't break Brian's show.

So now there's pressure on you. Yeah, I agree with that. I plan on not doing so anyhow. Rich, great to be with you. I love yesterday's column.

Rich Lowry, Let Disney Be an Example. Disney blew it here, didn't they? Yeah, well, clearly, the CEO, you look back at the stories and what he was saying prior to all this, he was scared. And this has been the story of corporate CEOs across America for years now. They get bullied by one splinter of American society, the woke left, their employees, folks on Twitter, whatever it is, and they get pressured to taking these social stances, these stances on hot button cultural issues that are totally out of touch with the American mainstream.

This is not something that Disney operating in a vacuum would ever do. They would just say, okay, we're an entertainment company. We have woke customers and we have really conservative customers.

So we're going to stay out of politics. He didn't do that. And DeSantis and Florida decided to make an example of Disney. And my hope is that this is just a sign to other Corporate executives that gives them permission. The next time something like this comes up and they get the prog uh pressure from the progressive left to say, you know what?

We're not going to do it. You saw what happened at Disney. We're just going to stay out of it. We're just going to fly airplanes. We're just going to sell soda.

Whatever it is. I agree with you completely, and it's not just to be friendly. Why would you want to get mad at you potentially half of your customers? I mean, right now, I don't know what market capitalization Disney has lost. I saw a number.

It would be reckless for me to cite a number that I just can't back up, but it was not small. This will actually affect people who are planning to vacation, who will say, whoa, I just don't want to be a part of this. The other thing that I thought was very indecent, and a lot of the people on the left that just went with this, they decided to call a parental rights bill that merely said it's not a good idea for five, six, and seven-year-olds to have this stuff told. Taught to them that they don't even understand it. I heard Brian the other day, or it was Brian's guest, might have been you, as a matter of fact, say something like, Hey, kids, they'll eat chocolate all day if you let them have a pile of chocolate in front of them.

And so it was a big mistake. But then they got on board with this don't say gay. And I like the way DeSantis forcefully pushed back at a member of the media and said, That's not in the legislation. Those words don't exist. You are making that up.

And yet, You know, the entire left media in this country, that's what they call a parental rights bill, the don't say gay. They just make this stuff up out of whole cloth, Rich. Yeah, well, this is the other thing that's really disturbing about how corporations have operated in this environment is they swallow these lies and repeat these lies. Disney did it with the Florida legislation. Major League Baseball did it with the Georgia voting bill.

And again, it's because of intimidation and fear and the cultural power of just a splinter. Yeah. are politics.

So you just you know i if A normal civil society, if You had corporations weighing in on this sort of stuff. Half of them would be for it, half of them would be against it, like the rest of the country. But that's not the way it works, because they're operating in what's basically a coercive environment. They're afraid of woke pressure. And I'm hoping that again, this signal sent by what happened at Disney just gives every corporation permission to say, nope, we're not doing it.

We're focusing on our business the way they have throughout the rest of American history and were before like ten years ago. Rich Lowery, what do you say to Brian Kilmeicho listeners with respect to Disney being willing to show such radicalism here at home in America, but not a bad word about China, for example? Yeah, I mean, it's cowardly on both counts.

So they fear the business consequences and what could be done to them if they cross China.

So China says. Censor this. Scene or this line out of this movie, they're like, okay, no problem, we'll do it. And then they're afraid of the woke left here at home. But if their standard is just supposedly, you know, human rights and human dignity the way they say, they would tell the Communist Party in China to pounce in.

Of course, they never do that. Um and the ideal scenario here, we we don't want to make uh corporations fearful in order to get them to support our agenda, we just want them to go about their business. That would be a normal thing to happen. That would lower the temperature a little bit on the cultural war. And again, I'm hoping this is a step in that direction.

Fair comment. Do you think we're sort of hitting, and I think the midterm elections are going to be very important in terms of a reset in terms of us going from Bizarro World back to something more normal? Because there was a time, look, in that last election cycle, they were yelling, defund the police, and the cities are on fire, and they're called peaceful protesters. What was it, fiery, but mostly peaceful? And all these things that were going on, the summer of love, the city of Chaz and Shop, and all of this.

And now all that madness caught up with them in the off-year election, the year after. And now, with this midterm election looking so bad for the Democrats, I hope, and I believe, I know hope is not a strategy, but I believe in what you just said that companies may start to look again and say, wow, this is not in our best interest.

So we can't just choose ideology over our survival and our being able to thrive. Because I believe Disney is hurt very bad here. You could bring the NBA into here. They won't say a bad word about China. Either.

LeBron James, nobody. But yet they'll trash anything here in America. It really is all the same thing. I believe as we make what I think will be a course correction, where the American people will say, we were never for this stuff, defunding the police and all this radical nonsense that was going on, that companies will again stay out of the business. Look, we're in the opinion in the opinion business, so we will give an opinion.

But if you're selling a product, You don't want to turn off potentially half of your customers, and that's how it is now. I'll give you a quick example. Dear friend of mine that lives in Philadelphia. Said that at the Thanksgiving table, there were about 10 people. He said to them, and they're all liberals, they're all his family, he's the only one that's not liberal, and he said, if.

We could end hunger in the world and we could end COVID-19. But you had to accept that Donald Trump would be the president of the United States. What's your answer? And Rich Lowry on the Brian Kilmeet Show to a man and woman, all Eight, nine or ten of them said the world will have to go hungry. Ha ha ha.

That's classic. What a great question. And it's shocking on the one hand, it's not surprising. On the other. And it shows the priorities.

And I think you're right about the backlash. It's been really heartening against CRT, against the disorder in the cities, and the crime we've seen, and the shoplifting. And there have been signs that Democrats are beginning to understand it. Joe Biden is in favor of funding more police funding. But the thing is, the cultural left will never give up.

This is a deep, seated, sincere conviction of theirs of how they need to change the country.

So they're going to lose. this election and then they'll they're not going away and they'll come back again. And some people have criticized what's gone down in Florida on free speech grounds. And this isn't ideally you don't want government retaliating against Companies For anything they say or do. The way to think about that, though, is: you know, you're the deputy director of Creative at Disney.

I don't care what you say, say whatever you want. Go on Facebook, go on Twitter, protest, write letters to the editor. Fine, but what we're talking about here is the distortion and corruption of institutions. You know, Disney is a huge American institution that should belong to all of us, right, but has been hijacked by. by a splinter of progressive opinion, that's what you want to stop.

That's what you want to try to deter. You are listening to Rich Lowry, the editor-in-chief of the National Review, author of The Case for Nationalism. He is on the Brian Kilmeat Show Newsmaker Hotline, and we're talking about the important issues of the day. Relative to the midterm election, I would have to believe that even in a good environment, Throughout all of history, about 25, 28 seats change from the president's party in any first president's term, midterm election. The House, I believe, is won.

I hesitate saying that because we are in a crazy environment, but I'm almost certain the House has won. The Senate is in doubt. I mean, you have to look at is Herschel Walker going to be the nominee? Can he beat Warnock? There's a couple other really tough races.

I think Mark Kelly can be beat in Arizona. I think that there is a great opportunity for Republicans to have a somewhat comfortable margin in the House. It won't be like it is now where five votes and you can't get anything done. You know how that goes. I mean, the squad can keep anything from happening now for Democrats.

The margins are so close. I think the Senate has a shot of being 52, 48-ish, 51, 49, or in a nightmare, Democrats keeping a 50-50 tie or having the majority in the Senate. What's your early crystal ball? about where we are looking going into the midterm election. Same same as you, roughly.

It'll it'll be big in the House, you know, thirty plus maybe. Maybe it'll be suppressed a little bit because Republicans actually took seats, you know, in in twenty twenty. Uh so those aren't seats those are seats that usually would be picked up, but they they already got them, and then there's redistricting that Where Democrats have secured more seats in these blue states.

So those are suppressants, but it's definitely a wave. And I just think in the Senate it's going to go Republican too. And Yeah, there's some candidates that have question marks around. I mean, Herschel Walker is obviously a hero. In Georgia, I haven't seen him in person on the stump, but people say he's really charismatic.

But there's a question, how much do you know about the substance so far? Is he going to do the studying? But I think that's that he he has a real good shot in that race, and I think that It it there's state will be r won on election night that we'll be sh shocked by. It'll be that big a wave.

So there'll be a couple that just no one expected. You know, Connecticut or something like that. It just feels like that. that kind of year. And the the only thing that's going to change it Do you think this is a bit like 1994?

Well, the Democrat media didn't see 1994 happening at all, but that was. Republicans winning the House for the first time in 40 years and winning the Senate. And of course, major network announcers, some have passed on that, I think it was Peter Jennings, one of them said, or Dan Rather, one of them said, that America has had a temper tantrum. Because when Republicans win, it's not what the American people meant. It's some kind of just mistake that will be fixed next time.

It can't be right. It can't be legitimate.

So I think this is a combination of 1994. Taking it all back. and the Obama first midterm, but it's not going to be sixty some seats for the reasons you said in the House or as many Senate seats. I think this is somewhere between nineteen ninety four and 2016 or whatever year that was. 2000 people.

Yeah, and the interesting question will be then, doing even some more speculation.

So, how does Biden react? Can he adjust? You know, Bill Clinton famously triangulates after 1994. Puts himself in a good path in 1996. Obama doesn't triangulate at all.

In fact, he doubles down on going left. And makes that work for him because he destroys Romney and motivates his base.

So, what does Biden do at this point? Point in time and given his age, he's not highly flexible, you know. And his presidency, even though the mood music of his campaign in 2020 is like I'm a Joe Mansion type. Democrat. He's obviously governed like an Elizabeth.

Warren. type Democrat. Will he get that that's a mistake and try to adjust? But even if, you know, even if he uh adjusts brilliantly, It's really hard to see him running again in 2024. And then Democrats have a huge now.

Now what problem? is a disaster. And after that, it's just it's it's hard to see what else they got. If Joe Biden, we're down to about a minute and a half, Rich, Rich Lowry on the Brian Killmee Show newsmaker line. If Joe Biden decides to run, he told Barack Obama he was going to.

I think Barack Obama got that out there on purpose because he constantly undermines Joe Biden. Biden hasn't figured that out, or maybe he doesn't have the mental acuity to even know that he got I mean, from that appearance by Obama to Biden walking around in circles, shaking the air, hands with the air, the Easter bunny waving him off the rope line. I mean, I think it's baked in that the American people understand that Joe Biden is not up for the position. And if he did run in 2024, I say he, I agree with the Rich Lowry doctrine. He will not run.

He'll have some great way of saying why he's not running. It won't be because he couldn't win. He'll say, no, if I ran, I would win. But he'll have some fantastical thing that he'll say for the reason being. But I say he won't run.

But if he did, he would face Democrat challengers, wouldn't he? That's a tough one. I haven't thought about that because the problem you have when you're a party with the incumbent President is a serious primary challenge means you lose. I think they're just like, no. No instance where it hasn't brought down.

Or you win-lose like Reagan did. You win-lose like Reagan did, because he did win when he challenged Ford. Yeah. Uh They gotta hope. you know they they all want to believe he's gonna run, but secretly they all know they know he won't and just It's going to be hard to get through the next two or three years.

believed he could do in others. Six or Seven years of this? Until he's 86 years old, it's fantastical.

Well, I believe Afghanistan went the way it did because of Biden. I believe that Ukraine, Russia wouldn't have had to go the way that it did. It's Biden. He told them, he's been wrong for 50 years, as you know, on everything. He told Ukraine 24 hours into it to quit.

He's just wrong about everything, it seems. Quick closing comment. Yeah, and he's an old dog and he's not going to learn new tricks. I've been I just Worked on a big piece on the nuclear gap and how Russia has more nukes than we do, and China and Russia are building up. And the first thing he does, literally when he gets in office, is Um reinstitute the new Stark Treaty, Uh for another five years, which doesn't include China, which um keeps us below the number of nukes we need and doesn't hurt Russia because they're building tactical nukes.

uh hand over fist. But it's 'cause he's been an arms arms controller for forty years.

So he's He's not going to adjust the circumstances. The column is Let Disney Be an Example. It's outstanding reading. Check it out. Rich Lowry, Let Disney Be an Example.

Big tech, big media, Democrat Party, all colluding to keep the Hunter Biden story from we the people just days before the most important election.

And that's why they're so apoplectic today. The left is going crazy, and as you point out, they're going crazy over an electric car maker who supports free speech. That shows you how ridiculous they are. But that's the power they had and the power they used 18 months ago in the run-up to the most important election we have to decide who's going to be president of the United States, who's going to be commander-in-chief. That is why today is so darn significant.

The left, the left, doesn't want you to speak. If you don't agree with them, you're not allowed to talk. And if you try, they're going to attack you. They're going to try to cancel you. That all changes today with Elon Musk now owning Twitter.

Congressman Jim Jordan on Hannity on the Fox News channel. Brian, your calls mean so much to Brian. Let's get a quick comment from Eric listening on Brian Kill Meet Affiliate, WDBO, in Orlando. Disney. Eric, we're real close on time.

Go. Yes. Disney's threatening to leave. Where are they going to go? There's thirty eight square miles.

They don't do anything for Florida. They give us nothing. They clog our highways. Their customer service has really gone down lately, and they just think they're the boss. They were given a deal in 1967 when nothing was here, and the deal that they got is against our Constitution.

Do you think anybody can let Madison Square Garden have their own police department and everything? More time next time, I promise.

So sorry, but we wanted you to be heard when we come back. a great American, Dinesh D'Souza. on the Brian Filming Show.

From the Fox News Radio Studios in New York City, giving you opinions and facts with a positive approach. It's Brian Kilmead. Welcome to the Ryan Killmead Show. Brian has the day off. Brian will be back tomorrow.

Harry Hurley filling in today, partnering with Allison, Pete, and Josh. Welcome to the Brian Kilmeat Show, which holds a place on the Mount Rushmore of talk radio programs in America today. Only room for four Talkers Magazine. And they are the Bible of talk radio and the new talk media. They rate Brian Kilmead as the fourth most important radio talk show host in America.

You can follow Brian at BrianKilmead.com, thebriankilmeadshow.com. And Brian is also a New York Times best-selling author. Brian's latest bestseller is available right now at the Brian Kilmead retail store at BrianKilmead.com. He'll personally autograph it for you. It's a great gift item.

His most recent book is The President and the Freedom Fighter, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and their battle to save America's soul. Don't forget, Brian, on Saturday nights at 8, and then there's a replay a few hours later on the Fox News channel, One Nation with Brian Kilmead. And available tomorrow is an incredible piece that Brian has spent a lot of time on, and you're going to know it when you see it tomorrow. Please don't miss this work of Brian. It is the story of Elon Musk.

And you know, just because someone. Is famous and they're the richest person in the world. And in some cases, we hear about people that are famous for being famous. You're going to learn who is Elon Musk. And again, that's available tomorrow on Fox Nation, hosted by Brian Kilmead.

And you'll learn it all: visionary or villain, genius or huckster. You're going to learn things you never knew. It's very, very deep dive into all things Elon Musk. And of course, with his purchase of Twitter at $44 billion, $22 billion out of his pocket financing with a few of his friends, $22 billion to make the deal. It's, I believe, a demarcation line where free speech is going to be in vogue again in America.

Stuart Varney, Liz Klayman, Carol Frederick, who's a fellow at the Heritage Foundation, and Seth Dillon, who is the chief executive officer of the duly deplatformed Babylon Bee because they, in humor, tell the truth. And I guess these serious people from the hard left. Left, they don't know humor when they see it.

So they actually deplatformed in some of the instances the Babylon Bee. I mean, that's how absurd things have become. On the Brian Kilmeat Show, Newsmaker Hotline is, I say, a great American. He's endured a lot. I'm not going to get into it in any detail, but he and I have spoken over the years on air.

And he was prosecuted for something no one's ever been prosecuted for.

So he's an American first, a totally civil matter. They somehow found a way to weaponize our system to hurt Dinesh, but really they hurt themselves and they betray themselves. Dinesh D'Souza, author, and I say world-class filmmaker and host of the Dinesh D'Souza podcast. His latest film that we're going to review this segment on the Brian Kilmeat Show is 2,000 Mules. Dinesh, it's good to be with you today.

Hey, it's a real pleasure. Thanks for having me. Tell us about, and in fact, I think this is a good way to do it. Pete, let's set the stage and let Dinesh comment after we hear a little bit about 2000. The cl the clip is cut thirty, Pete.

We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive. voter fraud organization in the history of American politics. Let me say it again. The 2020 election was the most secure election in American history. Let me begin by asking a very simple question.

Do we know the truth about what really happened in the 2020 election? I think millions of Americans know something went wrong, and they have little pieces, and no one's really put it together. I'm agnostic on this question, and I am awaiting more information. Bold. Accusations require bold evidence, and they haven't seen it.

We have been working on something big. Show me the money. Can we meet? Dinesh, there we set the tone. You are the filmmaker.

Tell us about it.

Well, there have been two rival narratives that are hinted at in that trailer. One is the claim that this was the most secure election, This is a claim coming mainly from election officials praising their own work. And on the other side, you've had conservatives, Republicans, saying, I suspect something went wrong, but I can't prove it. I can't put my finger on it. And so you've got this kind of nagging divide.

And I think the twenty twenty election continues to haunt the American mind.

So this movie comes comes in with real facts evidence Geo-tracking or technological evidence, video evidence, to really settle this matter once and for all, and to do it in a way that the ordinary person can completely understand. I mean, when you see a mule, a mule is a kind of paid political operative in the middle of the night going from one drop box to another, dropping in ballots, stuffing these ballot boxes with fraudulent votes, wearing gloves, looking around to make sure no one notices them, and then taking a photo of themselves, dropping these ballots in so they can get paid, you know you're basically peering into an organized criminal operation in all the key states where the election was decided. And Dinesh, as you know, in just the past several days, the Florida legislature and Governor DeSantis has signed it into law. This effort to To actually make felonies out of the ballot harvesting and a lot of the illegal things that went on. What I love about your work is you connect the dots, you do it in a way that you just outlined, Dinesh.

You do it in a way that people can understand it because some people do try to overcomplicate things and then it's over people's heads, not stupid, but they just don't get it. And if you don't say it in a way that's memorable and that is relatable, they're not going to get it. I think a big mistake was made, which cheated the American people out of finality of the 2020 election. And what I mean by that is people got focused on things they couldn't prove. We were going to release the Kraken, only we never released any Kraken.

They blamed voting machines. What they didn't do was blame the things that I know you go into in 2000 Mules, the ballot harvesting, the way that signature verification in key battleground states was changed so that. Instead of 3, 4, 5 percent ballot declination. And this is not about a legal vote not counting. It's about illegal votes not counting.

The old make it easier to vote but harder to cheat. I think the Florida model is something that can save the Republic. Your thoughts on that comment?

Well, yes. This Democratic Party has been the party of voter fraud, going back to the nineteenth century. And typically, it's old school fraud. In other words, finding names on voter rolls of people who haven't voted and then casting ballots in their name. Going to places like nursing homes and finding people who are comatose and don't know who they are and basically either getting them to sign a request or you sign one for them, get an absentee ballot and vote on their behalf.

Collecting votes from homeless these schemes have been going on for a while, for decades.

Now what made things different was COVID, because suddenly the mail and ballots, which were once a very small percentage of the overall vote, now become highly significant. And so sure enough, the cheaters realize, let's cheat there. But even though this is old school fraud, it is busted by new technology. And in the movie, we introduce People to geo-tracking, which is an ability to follow and track the movement of cell phones. And so if someone were to geotrack you or me, they would have me waking up in my house and then going to pick get some coffee, then going to the studio to record my podcast.

So geotracking isn't just a snapshot, it shows the movement of a cell phone. And we're able to show the movement of these mules going from one Dropbox to another, typically in the middle of the night, a single mule going to twenty, thirty and forty drop in some cases, over one hundred Dropboxes.

So we're talking about a large volume of fraudulent votes. This is right around the corner. Dinesh's latest movie is set for release the week of May 2nd.

So really just a few days away, Dinesh D'Souza on the Brian Kilmeat Show Newsmaker Hotline, and we're reviewing his new movie, his latest movie, Two Thousand Mules. How difficult was it because the the hard left, they don't accept truth when it's incontrovertible. How hard was it for you to put together incontrovertible evidence of exactly what happened in the 2020 election?

Well, I'm partnered with a research organization called True the Vote, and they are the ones that bought this geo-tracking data, which is extremely fascinating. But as a movie guy, I must say that what really thrilled me is when I realized that there was video evidence. And I'm not talking about some video that some guy took from a truck with his video camera or some video given to me in the middle of the night. I'm talking about the official surveillance video of the states themselves.

So in other words, they have this video already. And what does it show? It shows these operatives committing the crime. It's kinda like you can see them breaking into Fort Knox.

So from a movie point of view, it's fantastic because The audience can see for themselves the crime being committed. And I think that's what makes it truly undeniable. The left is going to have a lot of explaining to do. Visiting with Dinesh D'Souza on the Brian Kilmead Show Newsmaker Hotline. 2000 Mules is Dinesh's latest movie.

It's set for release next week. Dinesh, in terms of proving again, I want to ask you a question that I'm positive you know the answer to because you did the analytics and you've got the data. And I haven't seen the movie and I can't wait to see it. Was this mostly in the key battleground states, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Georgia, for example, and some of the other close races that if three or so states had changed by 40 or so thousand swing of votes? President Trump is re-elected to a second term.

Was this effort focused on the key battleground states where they knew it would be close?

Well, let me just say this. True the Vote got a two million dollar grant, and they only bought the geotracking data in five areas, and not even the whole state. They bought Atlanta, they bought Phoenix, they bought Milwaukee, Detroit and Philadelphia. And we only look at those five places. But by the way, those are the five places where the election was decided.

And we find a large number, a large coordinated network of fraud.

Now was there fraud in other places? Quite probably there was. But I'm not going to go beyond what I already know. I'm sticking with the fraud I've actually found, and it turns out that, that volume of fraud by itself is decisive. Do you believe that because I think the atmosphere is different now than it was during some of your previous movies where your truth was self-evident?

I mean, I've seen all your movies, but obviously the Democrat media either don't cover you or they try to discredit you and your truth. How much opportunity, and I think heading into the midterm election, and it's going to be here before the American people know it, and it's obviously one of the most consequential elections ever, and certainly in a long time, at the minimum. How important do you think this movie is? In terms of educating the American people, because past is prologue, I believe, if you prove it happened then, it can help keeping it from happening a second time in 2022, or at least mitigate a lot of it. And of course, when they're really going to go for all the marbles in 2024, your thoughts?

The mainstream media is going to try to prevent the ordinary guy, and particularly independents and Democrats, from seeing this movie, because they know, when they see it, they'll know that if an ordinary guy sees this movie, they will be shaken as they leave the theater or even as they watch at home. This is the most censored topic in America. In fact, I've had to develop a whole novel business plan because I can't put the trailer up on Facebook, I can't put it up on YouTube, I'll be banned immediately. I can't advertise on those platforms. This is the one topic that gets you thrown off social media, or at least most of social media, almost by mentioning the word election fraud.

So, as a result, the movie, I'm not going to put it on Apple iTunes and Amazon Prime and the normal places I do. I'm only putting it on uncancelable platforms.

So, I would actually urge people to go to the website, which is 2000mules.com, the number 2000mules.com, and you'll see the five ways you can watch the movie. You can go to a theater, you can watch it at home, you can get a D V D, you can be part of this virtual premiere that we're doing out of Las Vegas on May seventh, next not this Saturday, but next Saturday.

So it's the movie's gonna be hard to stop. But on the other hand, the left will do everything I believe they can to suppress not the disinformation, but the truth contained in the film. Dinesh, we have 30 seconds before a hard break, but I remind the Brian Kilmy show listeners that Stacey Abrams can go all over the country and say that she was cheated out of the election. She still has not conceded. Hillary Clinton has never conceded to President Trump the 2020 election.

So Stacey Abrams hasn't conceded to Kemp. She'll get to run again saying that she actually won. And of course, we have to accept as the truth self-evident that Joe Biden won the 2020 election. And anyone who doesn't believe that, you are cancelable. It's a disgrace.

It's an absolute disgrace, and I think at the end of this movie, people will see that it is not my sort of opinion that Biden didn't win, it is a fact. Dinesh D'Souza, 2000 Mules. All the best, my friend. Be well. Take care.

Thank you. You're welcome. We'll be back in just a little bit. This is the Brian Kilmead Show. Newsmakers and Newsbreakers.

Hear it first on the Brian Kilmead 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 Fox NewsPodcasts.com.

A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmead. Welcome back to the Brian Killmead Show. Brian has the day off. Brian will be back tomorrow, so that is wonderful news.

Harry Hurley filling in today, partnering with Allison, Pete, and Josh. Coming up after the bottom of the hour break, don't miss this portion of the Brian Kilmead Show because we are going to have a very listenable, very important conversation about, and I know sometimes. Words become like jargon, and what exactly does it mean? This Title 42. Is, in my estimation, the difference.

Between having five to seven thousand people a day who don't belong in our country trying to get in versus eighteen to twenty thousand or more. You do that's per day. You d that's with Title forty two and without Title forty-two. There was a poll recently done. It was credible.

It surveyed only likely voters, and it talked all about what's the American people's opinion. Is this. on purpose. This lack of protecting the border. purposely not completing the wall.

Not having the proper policies in place, not supporting the Border Patrol. the way that they should. In some cases, they're miles away from where they should be. I don't think there's any question. And 51% of the American people, likely voters, I'm surprised it should be.

A better number than that, but a full majority of the American people, and then a little bit. Say that this is on purpose. This is a strategy. I call it the permanent Democrat majority. They want to get as many people into this country.

grateful to them Immediately indoctrinate them as Democrats. As they get their cell phones and their water bottles and all their goods and services that they get, and transportation to cities and states all over the country by various means, ground, air, a lot of it done at suspicious hours. And I always believe that when things are done at odd hours, it's not an accident, it's not a coincidence. When we come back in just a few minutes, United States Congressman Jim Banks, who I believe will go from ranking member to committee chairman in several different areas. Right now, he's ranking member of the subcommittees that we'll talk about when we come back.

But we're going to have a conversation about Title 42, about Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkis, and a lot that is going on right now. A very important part of the Brian Kilmead show coming up in just a few minutes. Thank you for choosing Brian, who is, I think he's even higher, but he's the fourth most important radio talk show host in America. We'll be back with Congressman Jim Banks. of Indiana On The Brian Kilmeat Show.

The more you listen, the more you'll know. It's Brian Kilmead. Welcome back to the Brian Kill Meet Show. Brian has the day off. Brian will be back tomorrow.

Harry Hurley filling in today for Brian, partnering with Allison Pete and Josh. And we have a very important guest. Extremely relevant, important topic. It doesn't get much more important than who are we letting into our country? What intentions do they have?

And I'm a firm believer. There's everything from beautiful people that want the great opportunity that America provides, but we also have. Bad actors. We have drug traffickers, human traffickers, MS-13 gang members. We have horrifically bad people that are exploiting the weakness of the Biden administration.

It's not political with me that this is like math. This is provable that what's going on is flat out dangerous and it is outrageous. That we're in two courtrooms right now arguing that the pandemic is over, therefore end Title 42. We're in another courtroom arguing that we need to wear face masks on plane trains and automobiles because the pandemic is not over.

So, not only bad policy, but blatantly, intellectually dishonest. It's very dangerous. Joining us on the Brian Kilmead Show, Newsmaker Hotline, is a great member of the People's House. Congressman Jim Banks of the Third Congressional District of Indiana joins us on the Brian Kilmeat show. He's the ranking member of the subcommittee, and I want to hear chairman in the near future, ranking member of the subcommittee on cyber and chairman of the Republican Study Committee.

His handle is at rep. Meaning Representative Rep Jim Banks.

So follow him. He's doing very, very important work, including a letter that we're going to talk about. It's a shame this guy, Mayorkis. I mean, he's following the Biden doctrine, but he looks like he's going to pay the sins for the family. Congressman Banks, welcome to the Brian Kill Meet Show.

Hey, good to be with you. Thanks for having me. Good to be with you. Now, I made a comment that I think is rather defendable. The Biden administration is currently arguing in two different courts.

In one, the pandemic is a health emergency, and therefore we need to wear face masks on Planes and trains and buses and things like that. And then, of course, in another courtroom, the pandemic is over, the health crisis is over, therefore, end the practice of Title 42 as a public health policy. I would say this, just in civil terms, Congressman, you can't have it both ways. No, it's quite a contradiction. And first and foremost, we have to recognize that what's going on at our southern border take the pandemic aside, what's going on at the Southern Border is a public health crisis, okay?

I mean, we have we've had two point five million illegals across the border Since Joe Biden became president, we have drugs flown over the border unlike we've ever seen before. Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death of Americans aged 18 to 45 of working age. That is a public health crisis in and of itself, and we got to do whatever it takes to secure the border. to stop illegals from crossing, but also to stop All of these drugs from coming over the border. And Title forty-two right now is one of the last stopgaps.

Preventing this the largest humanitarian crisis in American history from even getting a lot worse. I mean, take take into account that when they lift Title forty two, it'll be about eighteen thousand illegals every single day coming over the border. That's the population of my entire congressional district In northeast Indiana every forty days.

So this is a crisis that is of Joe Biden's own making. And we've got to do everything we can to stop them from making it even worse. I think it's important that facts do mean things and we have to get the truth out. Is there any doubt I long ago just left no room for this not to be a true statement or reality? This, to me, is the planting of seeds for what they want to be the permanent Democrat majority in our country.

What else could this be? You don't finish the wall, not you. You do all these things that are counterintuitive to all the things that you mentioned, and yet they keep on keeping on. And we keep hearing that Title 42, even though we know now that there are good Democrats that know. And what I ask people to do, look at what people that are going to be on the ballot in a couple of months.

Look at what Mark Kelly has to say and some of these other people. That Know exactly what the truth is here, but I think this is the ultimate G-O-T-V, the get-out-the-vote campaign. They want this. To occur. This is not an accident.

This is not incompetence. This is a strategy, isn't it? All of it is completely intentional. I mean, there's no other way around it. I mean, they say we're racist for saying this, but.

All of this is intentional. And remember the statistic I just shared with you. When they lift Title forty two, eighteen thousand a day, that's my congressional district every forty days.

So how many congressional districts new congressional districts in America does that turn into if they get their way.

So always remember that on day one, Joe Biden is sworn in on january twentieth, twenty twenty one, and among his first amongst his first actions We're repealing the Remain in Mexico policy, which is a very effective policy that secured the border under Donald Trump. stop construction of the wall and then return us back to the catch and release policies from the Obama era. Those three things, that was a recipe to create the disaster that's occurring at the border currently And that's with Title 42 still in place.

So imagine. what what they will accomplish to transform America and make this crisis even worse, If they get their way by repealing Title 42, on the Brian Kilmead Show Newsmaker hotline is United States Congressman Jim Banks, a distinguished gentleman from the 3rd Congressional District of Indiana. You led the effort. 133 members sent a letter that's in my hand right now to the Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, who I just have to say is I think he's just been a nightmare. It's horrific.

His philosophy of governance is beyond scary. It's dangerous. And this letter, without even mentioning the word impeachment, I mean, I would think you could be close to 218 people with some Democrats coming on board. Could this guy get impeached? for the t for the terrible job that he's done.

Well, I'm fully for impeaching Majorkis at this point. I mean, clearly. He's illegally defied a federal court order To end the Remain in Mexico policy by ending the Remain in Mexico policy.

So he's defied the courts and the rule of law in doing that. He i illegally ignored laws that required him to construct physical barriers at the southern border.

Now when I the last couple of times I've been down to the border on Joe Biden's watch, you see piles of steel that you and I and the taxpayers of America paid for and that was that were authorized by previous Congresses to construct the wall and they've piled it up and let it to let let all of it rust. On the ground, now you have big gaps throughout the border. Remember, when I go to the border, the border patrol agents who aren't political. Tell me, they tell all of us when we go to the border: the border was secure under Donald Trump, it's wide open. with Joe Biden, and all of their resources are going to process Illegals coming across the border who don't run from the Border Patrol, they run to the Border Patrol to be processed.

So all of the resources of our Border Patrol are going to take care of that, and very little of it is going to stop illegal drugs, and that's why we have a growing drug crisis. in this country because of Majorca's And Joe Biden.

So our letter has had broad support, as you said, 133, and a lot of members have been coming to us and want to add their names. Even after the fact, after sending it. And we're demanding answers from Maorkis. He's on Capitol Hill this week testifying. And in the weeks to come, as he continues to I imagine it continued to fail unless he turns this around somehow quickly.

because of the pressure we're putting on him. I think there is a larger case here to make to impeach him, and I'm all for it. Do you believe there's 218 votes gettable before the midterm election? Or is this something where the work is being done now, the problem is being pointed out, the energy, the effort to the preamble maybe, and then it's handled by the next Congress?

Well, it's hard for me to speculate on that. I mean, I will say there are a few Democrats out there who are recognizing that This election is such a disaster for them, and one of the biggest reasons why is because of the border. Will you find a few Democrats out there? Remember, they only have a five seat majority.

So will there be a few Democrats out there who will say enough is enough? I mean, there are a few of them that are crying out and saying, Joe Biden, please don't lift Title forty two, because they understand it's going to make things a lot worse. But it but even in addition to making it worse for our country, it makes it worse for their political prospects In November.

So I imagine there might be a few Democrats who are fighting for their political life that recognize that. that there's a that the American people have had enough, and they expect us to do what we can to secure the border, and they blame the Democrats for it.

So this is their chance to do the right thing and join us in In holding Mayorkis and Joe Biden accountable for what they're doing to our country. We are visiting with Congressman Jim Banks on the Brian Kilmead Show. This is an issue that from the very beginning I thought it was just despicable. And I'm talking about the mounted horse. Border Patrol agents who got a bad rap from Second One.

Their reins were called whips. They were accused of committing crimes. They were accused of assaulting migrants. No migrant was injured. They were on, as you know, the type of terrain where a vehicle, and as you know, they've done this for many, many years, decades, and they're very good at it.

They're on uneven terrain. They're doing a tough job. They're getting no support from the administration. And then they have the President of the United States say they're going to pay for this, and other people with hideous comments, including Mayorkas.

Now we know. That they're fully vindicated, but they're not getting the fully vindicated treatment, are they, Congressman? No, no, they're not. And it's just an absolute shame. It makes me sick to my stomach every time I go to the border, talk to the border patrol agents, and See what they're going through on a daily basis.

I know a number of Republicans went to the border yesterday and the day before. I think almost every single Republican of the House GOP conference has been down to the border to talk to the Border Patrol and see. What's going on there with our own eyes?

So we have to keep up the pressure. I mean, what they're doing to our country is sickening. The border. Is a big part of it. But remember, I mean, it's their policies, Democrat policies, Joe Biden policies.

that have caused rampant inflation, It's Joe Biden, the Democrats' policies have caused your gas prices to go up on average over $4 a gallon because of their radical climate change Green New Deal policies. And it's their radical policies that have opened our border wide open and the consequences of the drugs are flooding into communities. in districts like mine in Indiana and throughout the country that are killing our family members, our neighbors that are having such a severe consequence on our communities. Every state today is a border state, and I think more Americans recognize that than ever before.

So we got to hold them accountable. That was the whole point of my letter. We have to begin to make the case that this administration and Secretary Mayorkis are committing high crimes and misdemeanors which warrant impeachment and use our oversight power and authority to do that. And while the Democrats might ignore it, We will win back the majority in November, and we have a moral duty to do something to hold these Democrats accountable for what they've done at the border and elsewhere in our country.

So important, Congress and Banks, and it's so relevant to hear you say that. I want to bring up the twenty two year old soldier who died, Bishop Evans, because again, in my estimation, because of the failure of the Biden administration, he is part of Governor Was, because he's gone, as you know, part of Governor Abbott's border security operation because the federal government is purposely failing to do its job. And he goes and Attempts to save two people, forfeits his life. For people who turn out to be suspected drug traffickers, what a human tragedy. Yeah, I I it it it's so sad.

And To think that thi this guy, an American hero, trying to save others. Bravely did his job and crickets from the president and the administration. Maybe I'm wrong, but I haven't heard a. a single word come out of the President's mouth recognizing the heroic efforts of of uh this hero or or so many others who Who have served in dangerous conditions at the border.

So I don't think you're wrong, Congressman. I don't think you're wrong. I don't think you're wrong at all. I was going to say the same thing if you didn't. I am unaware of a single empathetic thing spoken.

And I believe it's because their failure is so self-evident that they're just completely tied up like in knots as a pretzel in knots that they can't, they don't know what to say because they have failed. They know they're responsible. They have failed.

So then what they do, they just ignore it like it didn't even happen, which makes it even worse. Yeah, no that's absolutely right. I mean, Joe Biden can't stand be behind a podium and With a straight face. recognize the heroic efforts of this man without opening the door to conceding that it's his own it's his own fault. It's this administration's own fault they've created these conditions at the border that's turned into truly the greatest humanitarian crisis in our nation's history.

It's happening at our own southern border.

So It's it's their own fault and it it just it pains me to think about the the fam so many families who are who are affected, not to mention the young women and girls who are being raped and the conditions that they go through when they come over the border. They're sent over the border by the cartels, but the stuff that's happening to them in the process. I mean, this is This is a very sad Situation and it's of Joe Biden's own making. Final minute, Congressman Banks. The American people have a great track record, in my estimation.

I think this is also provable for making course corrections when one political party, you know, that was all set up, they didn't want political parties, but we've had them for a long time. And the American people have been very good at making course corrections when one party goes too far. I have no doubt that People's House is going to change. How imperative is that, in your estimation? I know that sounds like a gratuitous softball, meatball question, but I believe the Republic is on the line in this election.

I do too, and I really believe this is, we always say it, but this is the most important election of our lifetime because of that. If these. Democrats somehow keep control. If they manage to do that, then it will embolden them to continue These radical policies that are changing America from inside out. We've never seen America decline.

like it has over the last year and a half with these with these Democrats in control. Of our country.

So we got to win back the majority, but it's not just about winning it back, it's about what we do with it. And we have to be bold enough. To hold him accountable and to advance the America First policies that we know. Put America back on the right track. I mean, just in a year and a half, I mean, everyone, a large majority of Americans are better off.

Two years ago, than what we are today. We got to get back to those policies. Congressman Jim Banks, your leadership is noted, could not be more important. Thank you for appearing today on the Brian Kilmeat Show. Thank you very much.

You're welcome, sir. We'll be back. This is. The Brian Kilmeat Show. Expanding your knowledge base.

It's the Brian Kill Meet Show. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead. Welcome back to the Brian Kill Meet Show. Brian will be back tomorrow, Harry Hurley with Allison, Pete, and Josh.

Let me just follow up. On the comments of Congressman Banks, who I believe on the Brian Kilmey Show was spot on. This Title 42. Is so important. This midterm election, I know it's all politicians saying it's the most important election of our lifetime.

It truly is. Listen to someone who has one foot out the door at MSNBC and one foot in the door at the White House as the press secretary. Josh Cutt ate Gen Socks. really wanting Title 42 to go away because it was a Trump-era policy.

Well, the President has never felt that Title 42 was an effective immigration policy, and he talked about that during the campaign. But the authority has always rested in the CDC to make that determination, and he left the CDC to make that determination, unlike his predecessor about a range of decisions.

So the President has never made a secret of the fact that he thinks immigration reform is necessary and that Title 42 was never a replacement for comprehensive immigration reform. that would put in place smarter security, that would ensure there was an asylum processing system that worked. And that is something he would be eager to work with anyone on to get done. I don't agree with any of that. I don't believe any of that.

It's not true. And I don't believe it's independent decisions being made. This is a Biden strategy. This is the Biden doctrine. And this is the Brian Kilmeat Show.

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 Kill Mead. Welcome to the Brian Kilmead Show. Harry Hurley filling in today for Brian. Brian will be back tomorrow.

I'm partnering with Allison, Pete, and Josh. Welcome to the Brian Kill Meet Show. Brian holds his place firm. on the Mount Rushmore of talk radio in America today. The Talkers Magazine, the Bible of Talk Radio and the New Talk Media.

A few hours later, there's a second airing of Brian's show in an Instant Classic. And also, available tomorrow, it's incredibly relevant. Who is Elon Musk? A great cast, great content. You'll find out things you never knew.

And I believe it's a demarcation line in terms of free speech in American history. The day that Elon Musk takes full ownership of Twitter. And again, the left, they want it to be completely unlevel. They want their words to be able to go out. They want your truth.

To be shut down. And you to be Cancelled. And we're going to be talking about this wicked cancel culture with Matt Schlapp in just a second. Let me just finish this thought about Brian's work on the Fox Nation piece that you can view tomorrow. Who is Elon Musk?

You will find out by watching Brian's program. It's outstanding. Stuart Varney and a whole cast of really important people tell you. everything you didn't know about Elon Musk. And I meant what I said about the demarcation line, it's absolutely true.

Joining us on the Brian Kilme show Newsmaker hotline is Matchlap. Fantastic pedigree. Chairman of the American Conservative Union, hosts of CPAC, former political director for President George W. Bush, author of Desecrators: Defeating the Cancel Culture Mob and Reclaiming One Nation Under God, and co-writer and producer of the new documentary that we're going to review this segment: Culture Killers: The Woke Wars. His handle is at M Schlapp, S-C-H-L-A-P-P.

Matt, welcome to the Brian Kill Meet Show. Hey, great to be with you. And I know Brian somewhere still working. Oh, there's no doubt. Because as you know, he never stops.

He's the hardest working guy in our business.

So he'll be back tomorrow. But you're right. He's always working, and that's why he's such a difference maker, as you know, Matt.

Now in terms of this This documentary. The timing couldn't be better. The content could not be more relevant and so very important. Culture killers, the woke wars. This has become flat out dangerous in our country, hasn't it?

Yeah, no, it's true. And they can uh folks can go to our website at conservative.org and Download the documentary, and I hope they will because as much as many of us have been right in the middle of all this for the last couple of years, really. probably five or six years. And you could almost argue ever since Obama said I want to fundamentally transform America. And Michelle Obama famously said, for the first time, I'm proud to be an American.

Um you know, they have really tried to change everything about our society. And for establishment, Republicans They really think this election is going to be about these economic questions of inflation, of the size and scope of government. And I just think. most Americans, including a lot of Democrats, think that what's wrong with socialism isn't just economics, it's terrible economics. But Also, this idea of this fascism of trying to prevent you from being able to espouse your beliefs or have your religious beliefs.

Or raise your kids with your values. They want you to. be forced to be raising kids with the government's values, with their values of this Specular woke. strange nihilism. Hey, Matt, who would ever believe that we would need a case before the highest court in the land of a coach that after the game is over goes by himself And prays.

How in the world could we even be talking about that? And then, even I heard some of the questions. Do you feel like if you don't go over and pray with him, that you're not going to get to play? I mean, they're trying to invent a reason why someone's prayer is so offensive. It's maddening.

So this is the problem with a lot of Republicans and a lot of Americans, is that we're decent. Yeah. And so we're not really wired for this battle that we're in.

So when they took Christianity basically out of our schools, we thought, well, you know, that's right, our Constitution isn't about. Pushing one form of religion, it's about accepting all forms of religion.

So, you know, maybe schools will be secular and they'll learn how to read and write. What we didn't realize is that they just replaced it. over these couple of generations, With this crazy woke ideology, CRT. Teaching us that. Our fathers and grandfathers, who are involved in companies, are robber barons and profiteers and stealing people's money.

They've been pushing the Green New Deal ever since I was a kid. When I was a kid, it was the. Ice Age that was going to come destroy us because we were destroying the earth. You know, this pantheism was put in.

So when they took one thing out, they replaced it. We didn't think they were going to do that because we took them at their word. And we should stop taking them at their word. They mean to take this place Damn, they hate America. When you say you're going to transform America, Who the hell would want to transform the greatest country in the history of humankind?

Nobody. You might want to improve it. But you wouldn't want to transform it. Matt, we can't. No, not at all.

And I agree with that. We can't think like them. It's just impossible. I think it's why September 11th, 2001 happened because the terrorist enemy knew how we thought. We didn't know how they thought.

We didn't think there would be people that we thought they'd take a plane and take it to Cuba and, hey, you know, we want $10 million and let everybody go. We didn't think like they did that they would actually be willing to forfeit their lives in this cause. And so we learned a lot following that. They stole our innocence. We just didn't think like they did.

Now you look at these changes, and they're very good at it, Matt, as you know. For the longest time, they would do little minor departures from our civil liberties, and we would accept it. And if you said anything, you were like a kook and a bad guy and some fringe nut. But now, now it's on steroids, isn't it, Matt? Yeah, so you take the idea of like gay marriage or the acceptance of gays in society.

Uh they uh w they acted like it was about, hey, why can't you tolerate uh tolerate adults? To make their adult sexual decisions. And once again, a lot of Republicans are like, yeah, that's right. This is America. You're allowed to live your adult life.

You're allowed to make your choices. Not everybody has to agree with everybody's choices. You know, maybe a lot less kids will get married. That's their choice. They might want to live their lives single.

And everyone kind of thought, well, I guess that's kind of the way it is in the 21st century. Who would have known? that all of that was just a fake cover For telling your five-year-old boy that if he feels ever confused, it's because he's the wrong gender, and that we would pay for that with our taxpayer money in our schools, and that our elite. Private schools would lead the way, and sometimes even people who are in Christian. Sex would i Christian denominations would lead the way.

I mean, this is what I'm saying. Like, we never realize what they're really up to. And one of the things I say in my book, The Desecrators, is it's much worse than you think because any decent person, you couldn't even fathom they would do these types of things. This conversation with Matt Schlapp on the Brian Killmeat Show is reviewing Culture Killers: The Woke Wars. And really, it is important for people to check this work out.

And I know that you did an event with my former boss, President Trump, in your series of premieres. You're going to be doing. More of them, correct, Matt? Yes, we came out here to Palm Springs. We did a premiere last night in a private residence of one of our board members.

I'm heading off to New Jersey, then I'm out to Nebraska. And our view is we're just making the documentary available on our website. Everyone should go there to conservative. org. By the way, we're releasing all of our congressional ratings.

as well, and you can go and see how your member of Congress is doing. Um but Our view is that if we don't win the Woke Wars, Um it's over. We're going to lose the country. We're going to become like France or Portugal or something. not terrible places, but not places of freedom.

And uh and we gotta do it. And y you know why I know we're gonna do it? Because the reason they cheated in the elections is because they knew there was less of them than there are of us. And there are four of us. We j we just got to stand up and talk.

Match Lapp on the Brian Kilmey Show. Don't you find it interesting how Hillary Clinton has never conceded, Stacey Abrams has never conceded. But if you don't accept that Joe Biden legitimately won the presidency, they want to be able to criminally charge you. And in some cases, they are criminally charging people. It's outrageous.

You know, that's exactly right. The game plan of the Democrats is to turn their election losses into our racism. Yes. And then when we win races, but they put enough illegal ballots into the account, then it's about our domestic terrorism. Right.

When they win, they win and you're to shut up. And when we win, we didn't really win and they don't shut up. That's right. And you're and then the people on our side like myself or others Who stands up and say, wait a minute here, this isn't right. We then get destroyed.

Every corporation, every institution in society, professional sports. then comes in to say we could never contract with you, we could never hire you, we can't have anything to do with you. And that really is the disgusting nature of this collusion amongst the fascists. They make you talk. They touch everyone down.

And that's why the majority is being ruled by the minority because the majority is scared to act.

So the first thing we got to do is we got to put it on the line for the country and for our kids and our grandkids. And we got to act, and we got to speak up. If we do it, we're right at the end. If we do it this cycle, If we do it the following November, We're going to have a rebirth of freedom in the country. By the way, the whole world's going to root us on.

Anybody who lets freedom is rooting for us. Yeah. Could not agree more. Match Lap on the Brian Kilmeet Show. We're reviewing his new documentary, Culture Killers: The Woke Wars.

Congressman Banks said just a little while ago on the Brian Kilmeet Show that this is the most important election ever. And he even caught himself and said, I know people say that every single election. But Matt, it's true this time. This election, I know it was somebody else's expression, and Biden didn't really mean it. But this is for the soul of the country, isn't it, Matt?

Completely right. No, what we're what we're what's at stake here is is the whole idea of constitutional order. Does it continue? You know, you have to ask yourselves after 250 years of this. great democracy, is it over?

And if the people are so passive as to accept BLM violence and call it racial justice and accept Illegal voting and say, well, that's just a function of trying to get more people of color and immigrants, including illegal immigrants, to vote. If we're going to sit back and say, well, the Green New Deal is a fact and we it's it's indisputable and you can't talk about climate change anymore, if we're going to say, Hey, take my five and six and seven year old kids and teach them to be all confused about gender and not have a an appropriate sexual identity, um we're going to lose everything. And by the way, When America goes down Civilization is going to come down. And that's what our enemies really want, including the radical Islamic terrorists and You know, the people you talk about on 9-11 and these kind of crazy woke secularists who hate everything the country stands for. Do you think, Matchlap, that the November general election, the midterm election, which is so very important, do you think that that is going to be similar to what we saw in the Commonwealth of Virginia and almost in my home state of New Jersey, where Jack Chitterelli came very, very close, closer than any of these dishonest polls would have led you to believe?

But I believe that moms are extremely upset right now.

So are dads. And I believe America wants our country back.

So I'm heading to New Jersey today. I'm going to be at a seat at the table with.

Some wonderful conservative activists. I don't even know if they call themselves conservative. They're just people, like you say, who want to go back to sanity in New Jersey. And so I think we're living in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and I would say. You know, these were not, this was not a Republican revolution.

This wasn't a conservative revolution. revolution. Like you said, it was just moms and dads and coaches and Hey, Matt, they got told you don't have any say in your children's education. Go away. Take a step further, one of these parents, their daughter was raped by a transgender man.

during the Rainbow Pride month And he was told by his uh by his uh education uh aboard that he wasn't allowed to talk about it. And then that same Student attacked another young woman. And finally, that father went to the school board and said, You've got to stop covering all this stuff up. What you're doing, this is insanity. They tased and arrested that father.

And that was videotaped, and that was part of the insanity. Like that was a turning point. Matt, we're at a hard break, but that was a turning point. That was a huge turning point that not only did the Commonwealth of Virginia see it, but the entire country saw it, and it challenged everyone's decent sensibilities. Culture Killers, The Woke Wars, Matt Mercedes and their great team.

I know that Mercedes was a co-writer of the film. CPAC.org/slash movie. Check it out. Matt, good to visit with you on the Brian Kilmey Show. Thank you so much for having me on.

You're welcome. We will be back in just a few minutes. This is the Brian Kilmead Show. Educating, entertaining, enlightening. You're with Brian Kilmead.

Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Welcome back to the Brian Kill Meat Show. Harry Hurley filling in today for Brian. Brian will be back tomorrow.

I'm partnering with Allison, Pete, and Josh. And we know this. We know that Brian Kilmead is on Mount Rushmore in talk radio. We know he has one of the top four. I think he's higher, but he's in the top four.

That's minimum. Most important talk radio hosts in America, most important talk radio programs in America. And we know, of course, he has a vast listening audience. But listening right now, and I speak, I think I don't speak for Pete often. But I think I can speak for Pete on this occasion because we're both big-time New York Yankee fans all our lives.

The great Former Yankee pitcher Denny Nagel listening to the Brian Kilmead Show in real time. Danny, you're a great American. You were a great Yankee. And even more important than that, you're a better friend. He's my friend.

He's a really, really good guy. Danny Nagel in the Brian Kilmead universe. As we say in this business, you never know who's listening. Yankee great Denny Nagel tuning in. That proves not only a great pitcher, and he's a great family man, too.

Great guy. He was a great son. His father recently passed away. Just a beautiful man, and he's a real good friend. But he has great taste in talk radio because he's listening to the Brian Kilmead show.

When we come back. And it might be a couple of minutes after the break, but when we come back shortly thereafter, we will be joined by Griff Jenkins. Griff Jenkins and I go all the way back. My goodness, he's still young, and he has dark hair, and I still feel young, and I have dark hair, a little bit of gray, both of us, mostly dark brown. But Griffith the work he has been doing, I I don't want to be gratuitous.

And he is a friend, and he's been a long time friend of mine, going all the way back to the days of Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North. And Just the work he's been doing for the Fox News channel at the border.

some of the most incredible, relevant work, important work. Speaking the language, speaking bilingually, all kinds of things that he's been doing.

Now, the war between Russia and Ukraine, which remember, our president wanted them to fold in 24, 48 hours, and they're past two months now, 66 days or whatever. We're at incredible. Griff Jenkins, Fox News Channel, national correspondent, live from Kyiv, Ukraine. Wow, he has been doing it. This is.

The Brian Kill Meet Show and we'll be right back. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. Welcome back to the Brian Kill Meet Show. It's Harry Hurley filling in today.

Brian will be back tomorrow. I'm partnering today, of course, with executive producer Allison, Pete, and Josh. Eric has a day off. He'll be back soon as well. And I want to remind you: Brian has done some really, really great work as it relates to, if you think about it, one of the most front-of-mind, top-of-mind people in America today, and that's Elon Musk and his $44 billion purchase of Twitter.

And Brian has. And it's launching tomorrow. I'm a founding member. I've got my coin and other gifts to prove it. Fox Nation tomorrow.

Who is Elon Musk? And it is a Elon must. to see who is Elon Musk. And Brian is joined by some of his friends, including Stuart Varney from the Fox Business Channel. Griff Jenkins, who is a very good friend of mine for a long time.

I can't believe how fast the years have gone. And he is just. Growing his pedigree his portfolio. I mean, he is now a wartime reporter. He has done brave and important work at the border when people were very busy lying about what was going on or ignoring what was going on.

You know, there's acts of commission, there's acts of omission, either misstating what's going on or not reporting on it at all. You had Griff Jenkins out there from the Fox News channel doing the job at the border. He'll be joining us in the very near future. In fact, he's here now. He'll be joining us live from Kyiv, Ukraine, to talk about what's happening.

All right, Griff, I hope I didn't ruin your reputation. I expose it. We're good friends for a long time. Harry, the check is in the mail, my friend. The check is in the mail.

You're too kind indeed. And, you know, listen, I'm just fortunate that Fox gave me the opportunity to cover this story, which is no doubt continues to be not only the big story of our time right now, but certainly perhaps one for the history books. As, you know, we hear from President Zelensky, Harry, every day. And now I think the record. Rest of the world is starting to come around to it, which is there's a real fight here between an autocracy and democracy.

The fight between good and evil is how the brother of Kiev's mayor put it to me just a couple hours ago. And he said, Look, freedom is at stake here, not just for Ukraine, but for the Western world as well. Griff, describe the courage, how fierce, how admirable Ukraine and the fight that they have brought. Because we do not forget President Biden, he asked President Zelensky to surrender in like 24, 48 hours. And this is whatever it is now, day 67, or it's well more than two months now.

Describe how fierce and admirable Ukraine has fought. I got to tell you, I'm so glad you asked me that, Harry, because it's just. Unbelievable how defiant and strong and united Ukrainians are right now. And it's because President Zelensky did not take off and flee the way you've seen other leaders in other countries when sheer terror came knocking on its doorstep. And you know, having spent a lot of time in the last two decades covering the brave soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines of the U.S.

military, and I often go to the Iwo Jima Memorial where the Marine Corps Marathon ends, and I've anchored my show from there. The inscription on the Iwojima Memorial says, uncommon valor was a common virtue. It was about the brave men who fought on that island in Iwo Jima. And I think now about these Ukrainian forces who let's not forget, 63 days ago when this invasion began, everybody wrote them off. They thought Ukraine would capitulate within a matter of days.

Kyiv wouldn't last a week. I'm standing in Kyiv. There's traffic in the streets.

Now they repelled the Russians, and now the U.S. and West are actually getting these 155 millimeter howitzer artillery pieces and other heavier weapons to the front line as the second offensive starts. But let me tell you, if there was a litmus test for Ukrainians to prove their mettle and might to the rest of the world to get these weapons and get the support of the West. They have certainly more than passed that test. And it looks like if you read the British intelligence reports, They say that Ukraine, just in these first few days of this new fight in the east and down in the south, they're failing to meet any of their major objectives right now.

And people are starting to say Ukraine could win this thing possibly, particularly with the support of the U.S. and West. We are visiting with Griff Jenkins, Fox News Channel, national correspondent, now international corresponding, live on the Brian Kilmead Show. You know this. You've done it for many, many years.

You've done both radio and television very successfully. You know that radio is the theater of the mind. For Brian Kilmeat Show listeners, give us the difference between what we think we know from 5,000 miles away, which I think a lot of people don't realize how close we actually are. It seems like a world away. It's, I mean, a couple thousand more than going to California from your Fox News New York City studio.

So it's not as far away as people think, but yet it is a world away. And certainly the atmosphere between a viewer or a listener versus someone that is on the ground, give us your take, the difference. What were you struck by being on the ground versus knowing what you thought you knew versus what you now know? What struck me, Harry, and it's a great question, is the absolute I have been in war zones and I was with Ali North during the invasion of Iraq, spent countless times over there to include even in 2016, I was in Mosul when the Iraqi Special Forces were trying to did take back Mosul from ISIS. I've never seen any fighting force.

target the civilian population with such indiscriminate bombing. And when I went to Bucha, where we have now these war crimes prosecutors Pulling bodies out, the stench of death hitting you, and you realize what has happened here is just something that we don't even see in other warfare. And it's certainly both at the same time when you speak with these folks, they've been terrified and also become more hardened in their defiance and resistance to Russia. And the other thing that is tough about being on the ground is you hear all of these horror stories and you think, man, that is really tough. And then, you know, our lives continue to roll along and you do whatever you're doing in your day.

Well, just yesterday, I sat on a park bench and talked to a 20-year-old woman from Bucha who, for 30 minutes, recounted to me, Harry, what it was like to be walking in Butcha, minding her own business, past the Russians, when a round, a sniper round, rang out and shot her mother in her head. Her mother was shot in the head. And she collapsed on the ground with her mother holding her, bleeding. And then she recounted her father. Got her to run back to her grandmother's apartment, then begged the Russians to let him take his wife's body back.

They ended up interrogating him with a bag on his head and put his hands tied behind his back. They ended up, fortunately, not killing him. It seems that they didn't know what to do with him. But, you know, she showed me pictures. I have a picture, which I'm going to air at some point in my coverage, of the cross that when they were finally able to get her mother's body back, they temporarily buried it in the backyard because that's the reality of what's happening.

And that really brings home the real terror of war. And, you know, this isn't a soldier I'm talking to or the brother or sister of a soldier who's lost someone. This is an innocent 20-year-old girl. I'm the father of a 20-year-old daughter that had to describe the Russians just indiscriminately killing her mother. And the war crimes, people are obviously interviewing her, and they've they've added her to the hundreds, if not thousands, of cases they're going to ultimately try and bring, not against necessarily Vladimir Putin, but also to the Russian forces that carried out the attacks.

Heartbreaking, and it puts just a face and just a true feel of exactly the human resource loss and the consequences. Have we gotten Griff Jenkins is visiting with us on the Brian Kilmey Show Newsmaker Hotline, live from Kyiv, Ukraine, and you have all my respect, my friend, for the courage and the work that you're doing. It's extraordinary, and you're just a good man, and a good friend. the the story early on was that Ukraine wasn't getting what they needed. And it was really inexplicable because we we should have been getting it done.

It just didn't appear to be the sense of urgency. My Gut instinct tells me now, and some of the coverage that I've listened to from you, that we're doing better now in getting President Zelensky what they need in order to defend the defensive assistance that we've been given. Have we gotten Ukraine things that they need with the proper sense of urgency? Or is there a little bit of slow walking going on here?

Well, you're spot on. Remember early on, we had this debate about MiG fighters, and everybody was saying, why the hell won't we give Zelensky the MiG fighters and the things he needs to close the sky? And by the way, for Zelensky's part, he's done a masterful job of constantly asking for the very things he needs.

However, I would say, and I give real credit to General Lloyd Austin Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who just yesterday rallied, and it didn't get a lot of play, but I've certainly watched it and covered it some. In Ramstein, Germany, he rallied the defense officials from some 40 other countries. And said, we've got to get on a wartime footing. We've got to give the things that Ukraine needs to defeat Russia. And he previously had said on the trip to Kyiv that he wants to weaken Russia so they cannot carry these things out.

So I think there's been a real tide shift in terms of not only the U.S. trying to move faster, what was once described as a snail's face, to move the weapons they need and move them faster, and he's rallying all these other countries to step up and get going. I think you're going to see a considerable faster pace going to the front line. I agree with that completely. That is so well said.

Griff Jenkins, on the Brian Kilmead show for a few more minutes, live from Kyiv, Ukraine. And I believe this. And you tell me if I'm on point or if I'm wrong, I will stand corrected by the great Griff Jenkins because you would know. I think I know, but you will know the answer to this. It appears to me that the Ukrainians.

Are much more committed to their cause than these Russian soldiers, who, in some cases, don't even know what they're fighting for. And I believe early on thought they were peacekeepers and came in friendship. They didn't even, I don't think they even knew what the mission was to some extent on the other side.

So, if Ukraine had been given early on everything they needed, I think they would have already won this war. I agree with you. I think they still have a chance to win, but they were put at a big disadvantage because they were not getting what they needed. We were afraid we were going to start World War III. I get some of it.

Oh, my God.

Well, Poland said they'll bring the MiGs over. Oh, but that's still going to be, Putin's going to say we declared war on Russia.

So I get their apprehension. I think it was a bit gutless, but I get their apprehension. It's sort of defendable a little bit. But as time has gone on, these Ukrainians, this isn't like Afghan where they cut and ran in five minutes, as you know. These are fighters, and even they're civilians who are under the age of 50 or 60.

And some are even older that are coming back to fight their fierce and their real dealers. Ukraine can take Russia, in my estimation. They just don't have the air power that Russia has and a lot of those missiles. Russia wins the air war. Ukrainians have beaten them on the ground, haven't they?

Listen, I think the great Harry Hurley has nailed it. And don't take it from me, the brother of the mayor here, Vladimir Klitschko, the famous boxing champ, he and his brother Vitaly Klitschko is the mayor, and Vladimir is the brother that also advises them. And he just. two hours ago talking to me, said, listen, Griff, We are so grateful that the West is now giving us, and the U.S. particularly giving us the weapons we need because they see exactly as you say, that they are winning.

They're beating the Ukrainians at every turn. Russia is failing. And he said now, he had a big smile on his face. He said, could I say that I wish we would have had them much earlier? Maybe we wouldn't even be where we are now, suggesting that they would have already defeated the Russian invasion.

He said, but I'm just grateful, and I hope that they will continue this support and continue to escalate the weapons you're giving because we've got to finish this.

Now it's about finishing it. And that's what he says, and it's just exactly on par with your assessment. In the minute or so that we have left, we can stretch in a minute and a half, give us a closing comment on where you think we are right now. How are things going?

Well, that's a good question. And I don't have a good answer for you because we just don't know. Putin is so unpredictable, Harry, and that's what Ukrainians tell me, right? I mean, he's threatening nuclear weapons, and we certainly don't think that he's going to use them, but we don't know. We've heard he's threatened chemical weapons and we hope he doesn't use them, but we don't know.

We do Perhaps we can see, though, that this offensive in the eastern Donbas, which is where Putin is bringing so much of the heavy artillery and tanks and stuff into that area, which is familiar territory for the Russians because they've been fighting there for eight years since the annexation of Crimea in 2014, we do know that that may be setting in for a slog and going on for quite some time simply because, A, we're giving them the artillery they need to fight back, but also this is an area, it's flat, it's open, it's not urban like he was, so it's going to be more traditional warfare fighting. And from what we can see now, it doesn't look like it's going to wrap up anytime soon. Griff, final 30 seconds, and it's a loaded question for 30 seconds, but how serious should we take this nuclear threat that Sergei Leirov, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, served up to the world? That was very disconcerting. 30 seconds on that, please.

I think you got to take it with very serious concern because of the unpredictability of Vladimir Putin. That's what all of the Ukrainian officials are telling us here that you just don't know because he is truly an evil enemy in their words and could stoop to any level to carry out his evil intentions. Harry? And Griff, I know it's your intentions to stay safe, but I just want to say it to you as your friend. Stay safe.

Thank you for the tremendous coverage that you're providing for America and the world. And please be careful. Hey, Harry, thank you as always, my friend, and have a great one. Hit me up anytime, man. Good to talk to you.

Bring the stories to the American people. See you buddy. Love it. See ya. Take good care.

We'll be right back. This is the Brian Kilmead Show. Newsmakers and Newsbreakers. Here at first on the Brian Kilmead Show. The fastest three hours in radio.

You're with Brian Kilmead. I agree. My name is Harry Hurley, filling in today for Brian. Brian will be back tomorrow. I'm partnering with Allison, Pete, and Josh.

And I want to say thank you. I want to say what a privilege it is, a professional privilege, to work with this incredible team, Allison and her team. You guys are great, and ditto for Brian, who's just a great friend. I want to end on uh what I believe is a point of a real positive note, even though some of what it will take us to get from my opening words to the finish line will not sound entirely positive. But let's make it positive.

Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. Who cared? John Henry owns the Boston Globe. Anybody throw a fit? Carlos Sleem owns the New York Times, basically, bought the building and all kinds of things.

Lorraine Powell Jobs owns the Atlantic magazine. But now, and only now, suddenly now, the great American Republic, the great American experience is threatened because Elon Musk is buying Twitter. I submit to you the hypocrisy. It's dripping. With just irony, and it's disgusting, it's disgraceful.

Thanks again to Brian, Allison, Pete. And of course Josh and Eric. Thanks for the opportunity to partner with you. Brian will be back tomorrow. It's the Brian Killmead Show.
