Hypocrites! Lockdown Leaders Ruining Lives While Living How They Want

From the Fox News Radio Studios in New York City, giving you opinions and facts with a positive approach, it's Brian Kilmead. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. It's the Brian Kilming Show. We appreciate you being here at a time in which there's so much going on, whether you're dealing with a storm that's coming or the one that just left. Following what's happening overseas, or more focused on what's happening here at home and the type of oppressed.

Somebody, I mean, wherever you're listening right now, you've been affected by COVID-19 and still affected today, whether you have a three-year-old kid that's yours, or your grandson, or granddaughter, going to school with a mask on for no apparent reason, or you're in the middle of some battle. uh to in order to get your job back or to be able to go to work Or go to college.

So we have Allen West. I want to ask Kim about the criticism. That the governor of Texas is getting about the way he is implementing the Lone Star Brigade, which is essentially the National Guard, because the Border Patrol is not doing anything.

So he's going to weigh in on that as he wants to be the next governor of Texas, too.

So let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three: the threats of action if Russia's. Security demands aren't met is provocative. Diplomacy is not provocative. Your actions will speak for themselves.

There you go. U.S.-Russia clash at the U.N. as relentless diplomatic sparring continue. All Russia is doing is escalating. If Russia still invades, why I believe Biden and the Dems will not be trusted with the White House for generations.

Number two. On Fox is Janine Pirot talking about soft on prime consequences. I mean, what? What does that even mean, right?

So there's an alternate universe on some coverage. What's scary about it is a lot of people watch that. What's scary about it? It's called. The truth, not laughing.

The fraternal lawyer of police demands an apology for Saki's chuckling at the so-called soft on crime policies of the Biden administration. We are hitting her with facts behind the laughter and see who really will be laughing at the end of 2022. Number one. There is a right to protest. There is a right to make your voices heard loudly and clearly.

There is not a right to shut down our democracy, our democratic processes. There is not a right to abuse, intimidate, and harass. Your fellow citizens, No one's harassing anyone but you, Justin Trudeau, who is hiding out, pretending he has COVID-19, despite being boosted, double-vaxxed. Who knows what's wrong with him? They said they jettisoned him and his family away from the capital of Ottawa because there were a lot of truckers there.

There's a lot of outraged people who are tired of the repressive two years that the Canadian people have suffered under this yoga man.

Meanwhile, hypocrites from Gavin Newsom to Justin Trudeau to Boris Johnson lock down losers, ruining lives and like livelihoods while living theirs any way they want. I declare this over from mass to mandates. What the Canadians are demanding, what the Brits have gotten, what Denmark does, complete freedom. We deserve the same. In case you don't know, let me just give you an example of what's going on in terms of hypocrisy.

So you see Gavin Newsom, Sume of London breed, Mayor Garcia, a Garcetti. What do they have in common? All at the big football game, the NFC conference game, which is nice. All in luxury boxes, which is great. All hanging out with Magic Johnson, which I envy.

At the same time, what do they all have in common? None of them wearing masks. And what do the rules say that they implement and that they enforce, that they mobilize units just to harass? Wear masks at all big-time events when you don't have control of the outcome. What's demanded in that very stadium in two weeks at the Super Bowl?

N95 masks from everyone. But they're not wearing masks.

Now, Gavin Newsom says, well, I just took it off to be because Magic Johnson wanted to take a picture. Wrong. Fan cam video, and I can't do this on radio, shows that he is sitting there without a mask on with a guy right next to him, probably a high-powered agent, some rich billionaire, hanging out in those boxes, talking about Gavin. Newsome's bright future in the Democratic Party. I mean, how many French laundry-like scenes do we need?

London Breed was caught at a club dancing. We have Mary Lightfoot at a big event in an arena, having a good time singing. But at the same time, we have people telling us, pull that mask up. Third graders being told, or three-year-olds at preschool being forced to put a mask on. When they are showing us by their actions, they know what the science says.

It does almost no good to wear it, but it does a lot of bad after two years to keep it on. Here's Governor Newsom pretending as if he could talk his way out of it. Cut one. I was very judicious yesterday. Very judicious.

And you'll see in the photo that I did take. Where Magic was kind enough. Generous enough to ask me for a photograph. And in my left hand is the mask, and I took a photo. The rest of the time I wore it, as we all should.

Not when I had a glass of water or a thing, and I encourage everybody else to do so. And that's it. I was trying to be gracious. took the mask off for a brief second, but uh No, I encourage people to continue to wear them. Oh my goodness.

I mean, think about this. Think about all the times people walk up to you. Excuse me, sirs, can you get that mask over your nose? Excuse me, can you get your fourth grader to wear the mask? When they they're in the cave, they're in the school now, put it around your Put it around your ears.

I don't listen. If you're talking, I don't want you to drop that mask. But it's okay for the governor to hang out with rich and successful athletes and people in their luxury boxes while they put this stuff on you. It is over. 70% of the American people say, lift all the restrictions.

We have to learn to live with this. They did in the UK. Why? Because Boris Johnson's in the middle of a scandal that he brought on himself. Get this.

A preliminary report shows the UK Prime Minister. Had at least sixteen parties over the last two years. Think about this. All the bartenders, all the bar owners, all the restaurants, the catering, the weddings that didn't happen, all the things, the livelihoods that stopped, the schools that were remote.

Meanwhile, he's partying With his buddies, the rich prime ministers and the VIPs in England, and when he gets in trouble, he drops all. Restrictions. Why? Because he's in trouble and he knows we don't need them anyway. It's a source of control.

Steve Hilton weighed in on this. On Fox News at night with Shannon Bream, cut two. Not only is Gavin Newsom yet again breaking his own rules, he's not actually delivering on any of the real things that people want dealt with. And specifically, in that stadium, there's a mask mandate, an indoor mask mandate. And the thing that's really driven people crazy here today, there's been such a lot of anger expressed over it, because still in California we have masking, compulsory mask mandates for kids in schools.

My kids have to go to school, even outdoors, they're forced to wear a mask all day long. And yet here he is going along, breaking the rules, and then furthermore, compounding it when he was called out on it last night. Today, guess what he says? He says, oh, I only took my mask off. He literally says, for a brief second, to take a picture, because Magic Johnson wanted to take a picture with me because he's so great.

Gavin Newsome is so great. Magic Johnson was desperate for a picture. I took it off for a brief second. There's video and pictures been emerging all day long of Gavin Newsome throughout the game not having a mask on.

So he lied about it as well.

So I couldn't have said it better. California State Senator Melissa Melendez criticized Newsome and Garcetti in a Twitter response, said toddlers are being forced to wear masks all day long in school. Maybe one day they'll be governor or mayor of Los Angeles and they won't have to follow the rules they impose on others. They won't have to follow the rules they impose on others. It is sickening.

It is absolutely outrageous.

Meanwhile, in Canada, they are making all the truck drivers get vaccinated. They don't want to. Number one, they're independent thinkers by trade. Number two, they're isolated. They know their cabs all the time.

They don't have to get out of the cab as they pick up load after load. And guess what? In America, we're about 80,000 truck drivers short. In Canada, the same situation. They're there delivering food and goods to you, your Amazon packages, in order for you to get through the last two years of the pandemic.

And now they say give up the keys unless you're vaccinated.

So thousands showed up in Ottawa and they ringed the place. But guess what? More Canadians came out and said, we're tired of all the restrictions. We want it all to stop and I don't even drive a truck. And instead of Justin Trudeau saying, man, I hear you.

I'm a leader. I was thinking of your best interest. And, man, I made a mistake. Instead, he doubles and triples down. And now he's demanding on vaccinations if you want to go from province to province, not just leaving the country to America or Britain on the way back.

Listen to this clown speaking, which he says first in undisclosed location because he was worried about his security, labeling these truck drivers a fringe group. Cut 13. There is a right to protest, there is a right to make your voices heard loudly and clearly. There is not a right. To shut down our democracy or our democratic processes, there is not a right.

to abuse, intimidate, and harass. Your fellow citizens. Yeah, no one says they're doing that. In fact, it's not happening. In fact, Tucker showed some, Tucker Carlson showed some really revealing footage that people with abhorrent signs of Confederate flags, guys wearing a full mask, ski mask, and they desecrated a Canadian war memorial.

These people didn't show up for their freedom to get rid of a war memorial. I don't, I know pretty much the Canadian culture. We all know a lot of Canadians. There's not much difference between the Americans and Canadians. For the most part, they have extreme esteem for those who fight wars.

So I'm wondering about that. Number two, here's Justin Trudeau finally cut 16. We won't give in. to those who fly racist flags. We won't cave.

To those who engage in vandalism. Or dishonor the memory of our veterans. Just sickening that you know there are thousands there telling you you're way out of line. They want to get back to their lives, their livelihoods. They want to get the masks off kids.

They think the vaccine, just like you, if you are in fact positive, double vaxxed and boosted and still with the virus, people are fed up. Cut seven, Douglas Murray. I mean everyone does this thing these days of smearing any critic of them as you know misogynistic, racist, homophobic, believes men can't give pregnant uh birth uh uh sort of per they they they do all of that stuff at all of their critics. But Justin Trudeau is the absolute worst at that. I mean I mean all these truckers turn out and he describes them as this, what is it, something fringe of something and then the other week he said that they these are people who hold misogynistic views.

He has no idea, he di he didn't even try he just throws it out there. Might as well say that they're misogynists, might as well say they're racist. And then the uh the truckers get into town and he flees and uh security reasons because uh obviously obviously these truckers want to kill Justin Trudeau. Obviously that's their aim, rather than making a valid point that he could do with listening. When we come back, I'll take your calls 1866-408-7669.

It's just so outrageous. Please tell me if this is your breaking point. It is time to get back to normal. If you don't want to get back to normal, Don't worry about it. Keep your N ninety five mask on.

Talk to your boss about doing remote. Let he or she make the ultimate decision. You want to go to UCLA or USC or the University of Scranton with the mask on, go ahead and do it. But for those who don't, Let us have our own say. Two years in, we know more than you, and most of the stuff you told us was flat out wrong.

And you get really upset when people bring that up, and you want to ban them and silence them. It's not going to work. It's not going to work here. It's not going to work on podcasts. You can't control the message because people think with their own minds and where no is smarter than you.

No, it's not about race, it's about man's inhumanity to man. That's what it's about. Let's talk about it for what it is. It's how people treat each other. Are you nuts?

Whoopi Goldberg doesn't understand that these people were killed because they were Jewish by Nazis who wanted to wipe them off the face of the earth? Unbelievable. Unbelievable, and then she tries to apologize on Stephen Colbert, but she'll keep her job. Actually, I think she hates her job. The angriest person in television, Bob in Oregon.

Well, actually, I think the other one is Joyless Behor. Bob, what's on your mind? Brian, I just wanted to let you know, my friend, I've been a friend of yours for a long time, through all the shows.

Well thank you for completely spot on. I got COVID-1. I got my vaccine after I got COVID one, so I had immunity. And I got the vaccine because I'm in healthcare. I got the booster, and I got the booster booster.

I have had a lot of friends. Get wear their masks and the masks I don't change it, they're still getting COVID.

Now, I will say, I'm not an anti-vaxxer. I will say that the booster I got did lessen the symptoms of the second COVID I got.

So, I just wanted to let you know that you are spot on, and it's time for us to move forward. I personally believe that. I mean, why wouldn't you? Anybody else believe that? Bob, I think you know the thing, the reason I think it'll happen, not for the right reasons, because his numbers are going down on the pandemic.

He used to want to talk about this as a pandemic of the unvaccinated because his approvals were like 58 to 65 percent on the pandemic. He did not want to talk about Afghanistan, the economy, or anything, or Build Back Better or the failure of voting reform, which he says we need. But now his numbers are getting to around 40% on how he's handled the pandemic. If you read Gerard Baker's column today in the Wall Street Journal, he talked about his insistence on getting off Operation Warp Speed, where you buy the pharmaceuticals ahead of time, having faith in Pfizer and Moderna to come up with it. They didn't do that with therapeutics.

Therefore, we have therapeutics, but we don't have any. Shots. We don't have any pills because he didn't pre-order them. Tony listening in Jacksonville, W-O-K-V. Hey, Tony.

Hey Brian. Uh thanks for taking my call. I'm a uh I was just calling in about your truck driver talking about the truck truck driver. Yes, sir. Um I'm a truck driver here in the Florida, Georgia area.

And um I just wanted to let you know that uh you know us drivers, we're not very happy with the way the administration is treating us. And there is actually a march uh a a convoy that's heading to uh DC March 1st. Um, and uh, you know, if people think things are bad now, just wait until the truck drivers stop driving. You know, it's gonna get a lot worse. I would love it.

I would love it, Tony. They're insulated. They don't know what real life's like. They hop on their private planes or their shuttles. They go back and forth.

They do what they want with their families. They get paid either way, the free health care. They don't know what real life is. Absolutely.

So if you bring that real life, if these truck drivers bring real life to them, express their outrage, how are they going to look at tens of thousands of trucks ringing the nation's capital, thousands joining them and say this is a fringe group? Good luck with that. That fringe group is going to send you a big message in twenty twenty two, too. You can't just ruin people's lives, can you destroy the mental and emotional health of kids and th and go ahead and go about your life. Right, Boris Johnson, right, Gavin Newsome, right, London Breed, right, Mayor Garcetti?

We understand that you're living a double life, that you're forcing us to go through. Chris Barber is a trucker. He's with the Freedom Convoy, and he's over in Canada, and he talked about what this is all about, cut three. I've walked through this crowd for the last two days. I've spoken with multiple law enforcement agents, asked every one of them if there's been any trouble at all.

There has not been any trouble. There's been a few, we're calling them radicals, I guess, dressed up like us, try to blend in with like us to try and make us look bad. Uh my guys are all peaceful and and we're doing our job here. We're uh We're doing what we need to do to get the job done for the Canadian people. Yes, go ahead, Justin Chrudeau.

Call them terrorists. Say they're a marginal fringe group. You're getting what you deserve. These horrible leaders in times of crisis have melted and have knuckled under. They don't talk to the people.

Unfortunately, they'll look at the polls and make their decision. If they're doing that, they know 70% of the people in America want this thing over, they want to live with it. Back off, no more mask mandates, no more vax mandates. We got it from here. No, thank you.

Lieutenant Colonel Alan West is next. What would he do at the border that the current governor isn't? Precise, personal, powerful. Is America's weather team in the palm of your hands? Get Fox Weather updates throughout your busy day, every day.

I think one of the fundamental things we've got to do, in addition to some of the changes we'll make, we don't get into today. Is that If we figure out why they're leaving in the first place. It's not like people sit around and say in uh In Guadalajara, I got a great idea. Let's sell everything we have, give it to a coyote, take us across the border, leave us in the desert. Our country doesn't want us, we don't speak the language.

Won't that be fun? There's also a way to begin to deal with the reason they're leaving in the first place. Yeah, by the way, that's exactly what happens. They sell their place in Guadalajara, Guadajara, for $5. And they said this is the best chance we ever had to get into the best country in the world, the United States of America, even though a lot of Americans don't feel that way.

And they say this is our shot. Gather the kids. Let's pay off somebody that can get us in, a deplorable person. And let's go get in. I mean, it's unbelievable how clueless this president is, who still has not been down to the border himself.

Lieutenant Colonel Alan West joins us now. He's a Texas gubernatorial candidate, former Congressman from Florida, and used to run the Republican Party in Texas. Colonel, do you what do you take of the President's uh Uh confusion over why people come here.

Well, the confusion is one thing. It's good to be with you, Brian. But when you listen to him, he sounds feeble and he sounded weak. And first and foremost, he has to understand that he's the reason, as you just articulated, why people are coming across the border here in the United States of America at record numbers. I mean, we're talking about 2.63 million in just one year.

The population of Dallas is only 1.7 million.

So when you are laying out the red carpet for people to come across into the United States of America illegally, yes, they're going to come. And we saw an incredible example of that with those single military age males that Bill Malugin reported about in Brownsville. where they were taken to an undisclosed location, which was the headquarters for one of these nongovernmental organizations. And they were given the logistical means by which they could get in taxis and go to the airport and fly away. And what a great slap in the face to the American people that we have folks that are here illegally, and all they have to do to show ID to get on airplanes is to show their arrest warrant of them coming to the country illegally.

That's a huge slap in our face. And what about the fact that now we're finding Ukrainians and Russians coming in? I mean, you're absolutely right. Yeah, you're absolutely right. I mean, this is not just something from the quote-unquote Golden Triangle, Central America, or South America.

We're talking about over 100 different countries of people that have been apprehended coming into the state of Texas and across the southern border, period. But the big focus that's coming here, I mean, from the El Paso sector all the way over to the Rio Grande Valley sector, it's just porous, it's just wide open. And I was just down there last week from Laredo over to Zapata, Roma, Texas, and Rio Grande City, and McAllen. And it was interesting, you know, young people there in McAllen are saying, you know, Colonel, what can we do? Why does this have to be?

I mean, every night we're seeing these illegals walk across the streets. You validate Texas, Uvalde County. A woman comes up and says, I'm tired of people knocking on my door saying I need to charge my phone or give me water, give me food. Texans shouldn't be living like this. I hear you.

So, Operation Lone Star, because the federal government has let us down so much, Operation Lone Star went into effect from $1,000 out to $10,000. A lot of people are criticizing it, including some of the National Guard members, say the mission is boring. It's not clear. A lot of the pay is late. The equipment is inadequate.

It looks like Governor Abbott's getting criticism from the left and the right. Where do you stand?

Well, absolutely right. One of the things is that many National Guard members, to include spouses, got in contact with us because I've been in the military, I've been deployed, I've been in these situations, and they were telling me some of the deplorable conditions that they're under. They haven't to exchange body armor because they don't have enough, they don't have enough ammunition. You're right, they're not getting paid on time.

Some of them are not getting paid at all. And this is a state active duty mission. This is not a federal mission, so they don't have any type of veterans' benefits. If they are hurt or wounded in this operation, they have to file workmen's compensation. They don't get to go through the typical benefits that the military would provide them, federal military.

And sadly, we've had, I believe, five suicides since November of last year, two suicide attempts, two suicide ideations, because they don't have a clear and defined mission and task and purpose. They're basically down there as a political optic being used for campus. Campaign ads and things of this nature, they are not able to arrest, detain, and deport anyone. Basically, they're just collecting folks up or just observing. And the Border Patrol, as you saw in that clip, they're upset, they're frustrated too with their leadership because all they're doing is handing folks over to these nongovernmental organizations, Lutheran Ministries, Catholic Charities, and then they're off on airplanes.

Five to six airplanes took off out of Texas over the Christmas holiday season and landed in Wilkes-Bear, Scranton, Pennsylvania Airport. And again, you know what happened in Westchester County, New York. I do. Let's switch gears. Whoopi Goldberg on a show you don't watch said this about the Holocaust, Cut 39.

Let's be truthful about it because the Holocaust isn't about race. No. No. It's not about race. It's about man's inhumanity to man.

That's what it's about. Let's talk about it for what it is. It's how people treat each other. Really? She goes on to try to explain herself that night after the backlash got very loud and severe, some are calling for her to be fired, pretending as if just two people don't like each other, as if the Jewish being Jewish wasn't the reason they were killed.

Cut forty. I feel being black when we talk about race, it's a very different thing to me.

So I said that I felt that the Holocaust wasn't about race. People were very angry and they said, no, no, we are a race. And I understand. I understand. I felt differently.

And I guess that's her version of an apology. Is it be you you're also uh uh black? Do you do you feel the same way about the Holocaust? No, I don't. I mean, this was one of the great tragedies of human history.

And people were targeted because of their race. 6 million people were targeted. And for her to be that dismissive is very disconcerting. And ABC needs to, you know, ask themselves: is this the type of people that we want to have on air? Is this the type of people we want to have on, you know, representing our network?

You know, it's just the same as recently we had the Collyville synagogue standoff, where after everything was resolved, we had the FBI special agent in charge come out and say that this had nothing to do with the synagogue or Jewish people. Then why would a radical Islamic militant go and take hostages in a synagogue on their Sabbath day, which was a Saturday a couple of weekends ago?

So I think that we have to really ask ourselves about these leftists. they always try to make the rules bend for them. And if if someone had said what Whoopi Goldberg said on Fox News channel, uh Fox News Radio, you guys would be hauled up in front of the yard arm. I hear you.

What I think I'm struck by more than anything else of late is how many people like Joe Manchin. How many people like Kristen Sinema, Bill Moore, Democrats that you wouldn't agree for or vote well for? But just can't even recognize their party. I want you to hear a little bit of how Bill Maher sounds. He sounds like us, Cut 12.

We didn't have Omicron when we were here a couple of months ago. That's the new one. And that one's very milder, much milder. We should be celebrating this. No, it's just gone on too long.

Nobody cares anymore. Last night, the Grubhub delivery guy was eating my French fries right in front of me. People want to know when I can, when can I get back to not going to the gym? I don't want to live in your paranoid world anymore, your masked paranoid world. You know, you go out, it's silly now.

You know, you have your mask, you have to have a card, you have to have a booster. Scan your head. Like you're a cashier and I'm a bunch of bananas. And they're laughing. And they're laughing, but he's not kidding.

He says this is over, it's gone on too long. Barry Weiss, this is over, it's gone on too long, and we're ready to move on. 70% of the country are ready to move on. Are you surprised that he is getting backlash for that sentiment? No, I'm not surprised because the progressive socialist left, they are the most intolerant people that are out there.

And this goes right along with what Ron Emmanuel once said, never let a good crisis go to waste. And so they're going to continue to try to extend this crisis. And the absurdity for us here in Texas is that everyone's trying to continue with all these mandates or whatever. But yet we've had 2.5 to almost 3 million people come into the country illegally. They haven't been mandated to get a shot.

Those illegal immigrant males that we saw in Brownsville, Texas, no one stopped them, made sure they had a mask or anything on.

So this is absurd. And I think Bill Maher is starting to see it. And I think he's concerned about the damage that this is causing to the Democrat Party.

So listen to this, and I just think this is an interesting time. Listen to what else he said. Normal people read that San Francisco has basically legalized shoplifting. They think Democrats have gone nuts. They think You know, that Ted Cruz guy.

Seems like a real stiff. But at least he believes in the concept of shopping with money. Yeah. It's not. It's not my fault that the party of FDR and JFK is turning into the party of LOL and WTF.

Members of Congress. Tweeting things like cancel rent. Cancel mortgage. and no more policing or incarceration. declaring that capitalism is slavery.

Canceling Lincoln and Dr. Seuss, teaching children they're oppressors, and math is racist. making Mr. Potato Head gender neutral. I mean, is it is it I mean, this is what we say.

And it just makes me feel better that somebody who is liberal could see the lunacy that we've been dealing with. You know, I think that Bill Maher is more along the lines of a classical liberal, which, you know, John Locke, natural rights, theory, life, liberty, and property. But when you look at how far left the left has gone and the things that they're proposing, it's just nonsensical and it's absurd. And I think that he is a reasonable person and his logic is starting to come through. Look, I just think, like the drill sergeants used to say to us when we were going through our cadet training, you know, some of y'all are just stuck on stupid.

And I think that there's a contingent out there of leftists that are stuck on stupid. But yet Bill Maher does not want to be in that crowd. And they're facing a political Armageddon if they continue down this path because he's right. At least Ted Cruz believes in shopping with money while these other people and their district attorneys don't. Right.

I mean, we used to talk about state tax.

Now we just talk about you can steal up to $1,000.

So I can't even get into this debate. This is what gets people so angry. Colonel, where do people go if they want to support your run for Texas governor? Sure. They go to West, the number four, texas.com, westfordtexas.com.

I'm in Abilene right now, going to speak to some students at Abilene Christian University, and I'll head out to Odessa, Texas for a debate forum this evening in Odessa. All right. Thanks so much, Colonel Allen West. Appreciate it. Thank you.

Take care, Brian. All right, so we do have some breaking news that is not that surprising. Correct.

So it looks like Tom Brady is retiring. He's posted on Instagram and Twitter. A longer statement, but here's the essential paragraph that he's done a lot of reflecting this past week and has asked himself difficult questions. I am so proud of what we have achieved. My teammates, coaches, fellow competitors and fans deserve 100% of me.

But right now, it's best I leave the field of play to the next generation of dedicated and committed athletes.

So there he goes at 44. He's not going to play until 45. He's done. The Buccaneers need a quarterback. I think there's going to be a big exodus like Gronkowski and others from that team.

Let's hope Arians can keep it together because they're a classy organization.

So Tom Brady is done. And this is the time to do it, too, because the championship games are over. This is the dead week between the Super Bowl. People will talk about it. I'm sure Jim Gray will probably get the first interview.

So it looks like Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington were right. And I guess he is going to retire. When we come back, your thoughts on Tom Brady retiring? Is this bigger than football? And what do you think his legacy will be?

I think he goes down, no doubt about it. Not the greatest athlete, but the greatest quarterback ever. Don't move. Giving you everything you need to know. You're with Brian Kilmead.

So, like I've always said, it's you know, I'm very blessed to play as long as I had as things have gone on in the later parts of my career, whether that was five years ago or, you know, even this year, you know, there's a lot of interest in when I'm going to stop playing. And I understand that. I don't it's not that I don't recognize that. Just When I know, I'll know. And when I don't know, I don't know.

And I'm not going to race to some conclusion about that. Very interesting.

So, this just happened. That was his comment from two days ago, and now he knows for sure. Tom Brady is retiring at the age of 44. Here's a little of his official announcement. He says, I've always believed that the sport of football is an all-in proposition.

If 100% competitive commitment isn't there, you won't succeed. And success is what I love so much about the game, Brady said in a statement on Instagram. This is a physical, mental, and emotional challenge every single day that has allowed me to maximize. My highest potential, and I've tried my very best over the last 22 years. This is difficult for me to write, but here it goes.

I'm not going to make that competitive commitment anymore. I've loved my NFL career.

Now it's time to focus on my total energy of things that require my attention. I've done a lot of reflecting the past week and have asked myself difficult decisions. I'm so proud of what we have achieved. My teammates, coaches, fellow competitors, the fans deserve 100% of me. But right now, It's best to leave the field of play for the next generation of dedicated and committed athletes.

Brady has been adamant for weeks that he never wanted a farewell season.

Sources tell the SPN will now shift his focus to new endeavors. Buccaneers, executives, and coaches have been bracing for Brady's retirement in recent weeks, recognizing that it's more likely than not that he would hang it up after the season. Team sources tell the SPN. And there you go. Jason Lick, the GM, a couple of days ago, said, We haven't heard anything about this, but after seven Super Bowls, 22 seasons, five Super Bowl MVPs, three overall MVPs, he's going to be up for an MVP this year.

The votes are already in, or else you would think perhaps they had the sentiment there, but that's what he's going to do.

So that's pretty significant because wherever I go, it's easy. You know, I did sports for the longest time. Most people I know are sports fans. Most people I hang out with are sports fans. But when I talk to people that aren't involved in sports, if I told them Tom Brady, they know the greatest ever, just like Muhammad Ali, when it comes to boxing, you don't go, oh, I don't really like boxing.

I know Muhammad Ali. You know, you know Mike Tyson, but you know Muhammad Ali is the greatest. I don't think anyone even doubts that Tom Bray is the greatest. I mean, after. I mean, think about the seven Super Bowls, but when he won it with the Bucs, it was like case closed.

And you could have conceivably thought if Godwin had stayed healthy, if Antonio Brown had not lost his mind, threw off his uniform, and ran out of the stadium, you would think that maybe he came back from 27-3 in the second half and almost beat the Rams if it wasn't for an incredible play by Cooper Cup. And you could almost see him going back to the Super Bowl. Then, for sure, he was done. But then you think about it: if he was saying to himself, these players are not going to be able to keep a lot of these superstars here. They're not going to stay under the salary cap, or they're going to retire like Gronkowski.

You could see him saying, I'm not going to be part of a rebuilding team. I'm not going to be part of an 8-8 team. And by the way, he lost two healthy offensive linemen.

So when you don't have a healthy offensive lineman, not only can't you do the same things, your health is at risk. I don't think he liked the constant testing that comes with the COVID nineteen. I also don't think the fact that he needed offseason surgery last year didn't help. And you think to yourself, we did good again. You know, last year was no fluke.

This year you did really had a really good year. Top six teams in the league. You know, I think that's pretty sufficient. Don't feel bad for Tom Brady.

Now, I always thought that Peyton Manning and Derek Cheater, who lived and breathed every aspect of the game, would have the biggest problem giving it up, but neither did 'cause they know when they're done, they're done.

So I'm no longer gonna project that Tom Brady is gonna have trouble adjusting. He has his TB12 and everything else going. It'll probably take a year. He'll be back on some level of television. Uh, thanks so much for listening.

Keep in mind, I got that show on Saturday night. Uh, it's called One Nation, 8 p.m. From the Fox News Podcasts Network, in these ever-changing times, you can rely on Fox News for hourly updates for the very latest news and information on your time.

Brian Killmead. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. It's the Brian Kill Meet Show, 1866-408-7669. We'll be taking your calls in about 10 minutes. We do have Senator Marshall Blackburn, Tom Donano, here as well.

We'll do a simulcast from Varney and Company and the big news. Tom Brady made it official, which was rumored on Saturday. Denied a little bit later by members of his family. He said he was still thinking about it on Monday. On Tuesday, he made it official, put it out on Instagram.

Now, all over social media. He has retired at the age of 44. Bucks need a quarterback.

So let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three: the threats of action if Russia's. Security demands aren't met is provocative. Diplomacy is not provocative. Your actions will speak for themselves.

US-Russia clash at the UN, a relentless diplomatic sparring continue all of Russia, all NATO, EU, it doesn't matter. If Russia still invades, why I believe that Biden and the Democrats will not be trusted with the White House for generations. Number two. On Fox is Janine Pirot talking about soft on prime consequences. I mean, what?

What does that even mean, right?

So there's an alternate universe on some coverage. What's scary about it is a lot of people watch that. What's scary about it is, number one, how about triple all the other networks combined? And how about the number one issue in the country being crime? What is Gensaki talking about?

Every cop to fraternal order of police is offended by her giggling. Number one. There is a right to protest. There is a right to make your voices heard loudly and clearly. There is not a right to shut down our democracy or our democratic processes.

There is not a right to abuse, intimidate, and harass. Your fellow citizens. I would think he's 100% right. Justin Trudeau, hypocrites. From Gavin Newsom to Justin Trudeau to Boris Johnson, lockdown losers, ruining the lives and livelihoods while living theirs the way they want.

I declare this over from mass to mandates. What the Canadians are demanding and what the Brits have gotten, Denmark has achieved, complete freedom. We deserve The same March 1st, there'll be a huge trucker convoy to Washington, DC. Maybe they'll finally get the message. Tom Donano joins us now, Adjunct Fellow at the Hudson Institute, staff member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and Assistant Secretary of State of arms control and compliance from 18 to 21.

Tom, welcome. Thanks, Brian. Great to be here.

So, Tom, I've never seen such a lengthy. Diplomatic push from so many different angles. We have Macron meeting one-on-one with Vladimir Putin, the Hungarian president meeting with Vladimir Putin, Lavrov meeting with Tony Blinken today, Biden doing a one-on-one two weeks ago with Vladimir Putin, and all he does is keep adding troops now to the Belarus border, which is basically undefended by the Ukrainians. Where's this heading? Yeah, Brian, great, great questions.

Look, the the problem is that The United States, the Biden administration, has already given away some key leverage to the Russians. Their behavior has been rewarded. Right out of the gate, the administration renewed the New STAR Treaty, which is the Russian and the United States nuclear Nuclear weapons tree, nuclear arms control tree to control our strategic nuclear stockpiles. right out of the gate, they gave the Russians a clean extension. The Trump administration wanted to put conditions on that.

We've had aggressive diplomacy with the Russians. We're making progress. We gave that away. We gave away Nord Stream two.

So, what we're seeing here is that the Russians' behavior is being rewarded by the Biden administration's actions.

Now, we're starting to see some.

some cracks. In NATO and the French position, the German position about wanting to entertain certain elements. of the Russian proposal specifically to look at arms control solutions in Europe. And that's exactly what Putin wants.

So he's following a pattern of success We need to change direction, continue to help Ukrainians defend themselves and strengthen and support our NATO allies. But of course, if Ukraine's not a NATO ally, but I think we should continue to support And help them to defend themselves. The Russian ambassador to the United Nations was sparring with Linda Thomas Greenfield. She had to actually defend America for a change. Here's what the Russians said: CUP 30.

There is no threat of a planned invasion into Ukraine. The discussions about a threat of war is provocative in and of itself. You are almost calling for this. You want it to happen. You're waiting for it to happen, as if you want to make your words become a reality.

Really? Wh what do you take of that spin? Yes. Look, again, I think the Russians know that if they continue to pressure, the United States will continue to give concessions. They've already signaled it.

They've signaled it publicly. Sergei Lavrov signaled that there would be hopefully some progress on keeping additional NATO capabilities out of Eastern Europe, specifically long range strike weapons that were prohibited in the INF.

So the Russians are very cagey, they're very sophisticated, and their results are paying off diplomatically. Whether or not they pull the trigger and actually invade the Ukraine, that's anyone's guess. But the diplomacy right now has favored the Russians and they're getting what they want. They are. I want you to hear our retort, Linda Thomas Greenfeld, Cut 31.

I can't say that I am surprised by my Russian colleagues' comments, but I am disappointed. The threats of action if Russia's security demands aren't met is provocative. Diplomacy is not provocative. Your actions will speak for themselves. Is that a brushback pitch that you think will be effective?

Yes, look, I mean, the posturing at the UN is important. I think they're starting to find their footing, hopefully, with the rhetoric. But there's always a caveat in the administration's proposals, and we need to be clear eyed that there will be no exchange, there'll be no change in NATO posture, there'll be no change in NATO policy, again, on bolstering on the old Fort Trump, right, on the two percent of NATO spending. When President Trump called for two percent spending from NATO, people called him a bully. And now here we are in NATO's under threat from Russia.

So we need to continue to implement the Trump deterrence policy. It was strong, it was respected, and the Russians respect strength Um and we cannot continue to signal to them that there's Quote, room for diplomacy. When we know what that means, that the U.S. is ready to make concessions, whether it be on missile defenses or on long-range strike systems that would be based in Eastern Europe. Understood.

Tom Donano with us.

So, Tom, these emails come to light in February of 2020, where it looks as though there was a big push in the scientific community to say, hey, this leak of this virus, we don't know what it is, but we really think there's an excellent chance of it being coming from a lab.

Next thing you know, they all get on the same page, emergency call by Dr. Fauci and Francis Collins. It's really important that they don't say that, that it came from the environment. And that has been the mantra since. Even Anthony Fauci days ago just said it most likely came from natural, something with animals to humans.

Does this outrage you? Brian, I can't even tell you how furious it makes me. When I work for the government, I was trying to figure out. Why we're being stonewalled, why we're aggressively being disparaged inside the State Department, inside the interagency for looking at this mounting evidence.

Now we know, now I know, and our team knows that there was an actual conspiracy by these scientists to to spread misinformation, to send wrong information into the government. Uh look, I don't know if it's illegal. But we know that those scientists that were on that email train ended up. briefing the intelligence community and influencing their intelligence products. I mean, this is a short.

Huge, huge problem. When the top coronavirus experts in the world tell analysts at any intelligence agency, I mean, yes, they'd probably believe them, not knowing that they were not telling the whole truth. That, hey, we think it might have come from nature, but there's also signs. In the genome itself that indicated potential lab in human manipulation. They left that part out, and that omission was on purpose.

And at least for me and for our team, now I see the full picture. Again, I don't know if that behavior was illegal, but it should be. Oh, I'm telling you, it caused a tremendous amount of problem, misled the entire United States Intelligence Agency, which leads to more questions. on analytic integrity, on guardrails, on who the intelligence community brings in to advise them. Were they U.

S. citizens? Were they properly vetted, security vetted? None of these questions have been answered. Why Christian Anderson was marching around the intelligence community Sharing incomplete information, but now we know he knew.

That the virus had the hallmarks of potential genetic engineering. It didn't have to be positive. But what you need to do is put proper caveat in there. He didn't do it, and it caused. A tremendous amount of problems inside the U.S.

government. Tom Donano, an adjunct fellow with the Hudson Institute, is with us now on a staff member of the House Permanent Select Committee.

So, Tom, now I want to ask the scientists. They didn't tell the president, according to Mick Mulvaney. They had no idea about this. Of course, Senator Tom Cotton, Governor DeSantis, said, Listen, you got to shut down travel from China. We don't know what's happening, but we've got to shut down travel from China.

But we're doing this blind, and our own people are not telling us the truth.

So then, out come people like me or others who want to say, bring up things like our DeMasse work, where did this virus actually come from? Josh Rogan, who was on yesterday, writes for the Washington Post, CNN, brings it up. No, everyone's marginalizing what he's saying.

Meanwhile, his sources are great in China. This is a big deal. The Wuhan Lab is a problem. And then, even today, when you bring up certain things, people go crazy.

So, Joe Rogan, I thought, as a elite, the number one podcaster in the country. A deep thinker, but never pretends to be an expert in this field, said this, CUD 18, about his critics that don't want him speculating on things that evidently aren't scientific. The problem I have with the term misinformation, especially today, is that many of the things that we thought of as misinformation just a short while ago are now accepted as fact. Eight months ago, if you said if you get vaccinated, you can still catch COVID and you can still spread COVID. You would be removed from social media.

Now, that's accepted as a fact. If you said, I don't think cloth masks work. You would be banned from social media.

Now that's openly and repeatedly stated on CNN. If you said, I think it's possible that COVID-19 came from a lab, you'd be banned from many social media platforms.

Now that's on the cover of Newsweek. Need I say more? We're not scientists. I don't pretend to be a scientist. Joe Rogan's a UFC guy, just a very broad-based show.

And he's getting vilified by pointing out things that are now conventional wisdom that were considering irresponsible broadcasters.

Now we know that the people doing a lot of the criticizing. were in bed with social media experts like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates in order to make sure their message was top down what they want it to be, not what the truth was. Yes. Look, Brian, it is really troubling. I mean, part of the problem with the Oranges discussion is that the same people that we know lied to us and we know misled the intelligence community and misled folks like myself and my bosses all the way up to President Trump.

are the same people that are out there making public health recommendations. And you just can't have that. Once you lose faith, and I'm sure you know in your travels talking to people, and I know when I'm out here talking to real Americans and that people have stopped listening. And part of the reason is because of this double standard and because of this clear uh misleading again on the on on the lab origins Um the the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. of the scientific evidence.

That has been out there. If it even gets published, we've seen so many, it's The inconsistencies, I agree with what what Rogan's saying, is that the ball continues to move. And look, this caused real problems inside the government and. Uh um Francis Collins said it himself. He played Secretary of State of President and President.

Instead of immediately calling Mike Pompeo or Robert O'Brien or vice president. He decided that international harmony in China uh was most important and that he would perpetrate this lie. Um he was not elected. These other folks were appointed by the President, they were confirmed by the Senate to conduct foreign affairs. That was Mike Pompeo's decision, not Francis Collins.

Go get them. Tom Donano, the frustration is real, and the credibility diminishes every day. No one believes these experts anymore, but they continue to hinder our lives and our livelihoods. It's got to stop. Thanks so much, Tom.

Thank you, Brian. Hey, bottom of the hour, Senator Marcia Blackburn will be with us, and then we'll be joined by. Uh Stuart Varney. Uh we'll do a simo cast. You'll listen to the Brian Kilmeat show.

Expanding your knowledge base. It's the Brian Kill Meat Show. A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmead. I've walked through this crowd for the last two days.

I've spoke with multiple law enforcement agents, asked every one of them if there's been any trouble at all. There has not been any trouble. There's been a few. We're calling them radicals, I guess, dressed up like us, try to blend in with like us to try and make us look bad. Uh my guys are all peaceful and and we're doing our job here.

We're uh We're doing what we need to do to get the job done for the Canadian people. Yeah, and that's why they showed up in the Freedom Rally. Thousands of trucks, because they don't want to get vaccinated in many cases. They should not lose their job. There's a huge need for a year and a half before there was a vaccine, excuse me, nine months before there was a vaccine.

They were asked to work through it. Necessary workers.

Now, Canada, the U.S., back and forth with these vaccine mandates. It's impractical and it's unnecessary. They're in cabs by themselves. You could even make some ridiculous moves where keep a certain distance from the cargo when they're loading the truck. But basically, you have a solemn existence, and truckers, by nature, want to be left alone.

That's kind of the way they choose their jobs. And I think it's coming to Washington march first. Look out. It'll be a lot better weather. And they're still getting thousands, tens of thousands in Canada.

Eric, who's on WNDB in Daytona Beach. Eric. Hey, Brian, that that Tom Donato guy, he was a great guest. Uh it's like the people that believe Jussie Smollett are telling us how to think now. Um I just wanted to tip you off that it just happened yesterday in Florida legislature.

They've gone there and they drank the Kool-Aid. They actually publicly stated that people Uh We're passing we want to pass voter law. And They're calling the Republicans racist. And they actually said it, people of color can't get I people of color can't get to the polls. That's the most racist thing I've heard in a long time.

What do you think about that? I think it's a total joke. It's nothing to do with race. At this time, with communications, with transportation, the way it is, if you are in this country legally, you have a social security number. They're asking for people just to put the last four digits, that are a social security number in.

And there's free ways to, if you can go to the post office, which has got to be near where you live, you can get an automatic ID there, a federal ID there. It is insulting for somebody to say, well, I know you. You're a simpleton. You cannot get an ID. We know it's too hard for you to do that.

But most of the country, Eric, it's not even a mystery. Most of the country, to the tune of 84%, think voter IDs should be necessary because they don't want their vote canceled out by some illegal. It makes total sense. The more you listen, the more you'll know it's Brian Killmead. If you look at Fox on a daily basis, I mean, do you remember the four boxes that we had on all the TVs, right?

Which is on my TV right now?

So, right now, just to give you a sense, so CNN Pentagon, as many as 8,500 U.S. troops on heightened alert.

Okay, true. Same on MSNBC, CNBC is doing their own thing about the market. And then on Fox is Janine Pirrault talking about soft on crime consequences. I mean, what. What does that even mean, right?

So there's an alternate universe on some. uh coverage. What's scary about it is a lot of people watch that. What's scary about it is people watch us because we're the best news channel around. It's not even close.

You take the first two, take three conservative networks, Newsmax, and they still don't equal our ratings because we cover everything. And the number one issue for the American people is crime. Number two is inflation. What is she talking about? Let's bring in Senator Marsha Blackburn, member of the Senate Judiciary and Armed Services Committee.

Senator, I just wanted you to hear that because it makes absolutely no sense. I mean, she usually has the communications down, even if you disagree with her. But do you understand? Do other people feel that way that we're off base covering crime? It is just unique.

Unbelievable that they would think crime is not a topic of concern. You know, Brian, I like to say the security moms are out in full force, and they're concerned about security in their communities, in their schools, about education for their children, securing health care, jobs, securing the energy supply. And you want to say that people are not concerned about crime. What alternate universe are you living in? And who are you talking to?

You're not hearing that people are not concerned about crime. They're not concerned about gangs. They're not concerned about drugs. On the streets that are coming over the southern border. Right.

I want you.

So she went on to try to explain herself by saying because you didn't vote for the rescue package that had money for more cops. That makes you susceptible to this criticism saying you don't care about crime. Here's a little exchange yesterday, Cut 24 with Jackie Heinrich. Were you speaking in your personal opinion, or is that at all a reflection of the priorities of this administration? Because the criticism is that it would reflect that crime is not a priority of this administration.

Well, I encourage anyone to listen to the full context of the interview and the conversation. What I was speaking to was a Chiron on Fox News since you raised it, which suggested this administration is soft on crime with no basis. Given we have had many conversations and back and forth with you and your colleagues about the prioritization of the President to ensure that we are working as close partners with leaders, whether it is Mayor Adams, who he's going to spend the day with on Thursday, or others in the country. And the facts speak for themselves. This is what I was talking about in the interview for the full context.

Do the facts speak for themselves?

Well, the facts are that this administration and many members of the Biden White House the Vice President in this administration. have been a part of the defund the police Yeah. movements that you've seen across the country. And now that crime has spiked and it is a top issue with women and with independents and with many Democrats, they're trying to rewrite history. But Brian, they try to rewrite history every single day, whether it is our nation's founding, whether it is the Constitution, whether it is the rule of law.

They want to rewrite it and make it in their liberal socialist image. The problem they've got Is that the American people have figured them out? and they're no longer listening.

So when you have comments like Jim Saki is making, it makes them seem completely out of touch. I would think so. Right now, we're seeing a lot of diplomacy. Today, the Lavrov and Blinkett are meeting. Macron's talking to Putin directly.

The NATO officials who were speaking to Russia through NATO We'll speak to Zelensky. The UK Prime Minister is over in Ukraine right now. He wants to change the subject after his ridiculous party habits. But. Are you okay with all these different oars in the water?

Because I'm used to us taking the lead on this. We should be taking the lead on this, but here's what we have to realize. Joe Biden and this administration are quite content. to be America the ordinary. They are not focused on America the extraordinary, the exceptional, the superpower.

They seem to almost be embarrassed. Buy that. And so now that things are running off the rails with Russia and Ukraine, with China and their aggression, with Iran and the way they are pushing their proxies, with North Korea out here testing missiles, all of a sudden they're going, oh my gosh. We've really got a hot potato that we are tossing around and we're having to juggle because it's not one, it's not two, it's three, it's four, it's six. we've got all of these issues that are coming up, and people are paying attention and they're pushing back.

Perhaps. When it comes to paying attention and pushing back, we see what's happening. If you even go look at the game on Sunday with the Rams and 49ers, you see the mayor, the governor, two mayors, governor, all were not wearing masks. We're seeing problems. With New York, they sue, we take the mask off, the kids go to school with masks, they sue back, the kids got to put the mask back on.

Florida doesn't have those issues, Tennessee doesn't have that many issues. In Virginia, executive order is being ignored at about half the state. 70% of the American people want to start living with this virus. What's it going to take for government to let us? It is going to take a change in November.

Bear in mind, the Democrats feel like they have to have a permanent pandemic. That is why you've got doctor Fauci playing a world class game of CYA. And changing his mind. Mask work, masks don't work, double mask, N95 mask. I mean, They're all over the board.

People no longer believe them. They're not looking to them for guidance. What they are doing is talking to their physician, having those conversations. I talk to people in Tennessee every single day who are saying, look, it doesn't matter if you get double vaxed and boosted. You may still get it.

I had somebody last weekend double vaxed and boosted, and they got Omicron. And they know that we have to learn to live with this. And they're looking at what the White House and doctor Fauci are saying and they're saying, oh no, you're wrong. We don't believe you. Senator, I'm somebody who believes that when it comes to what's happening to Ukraine, it matters.

I fully understand if the Russians are able to get Ukraine and take some of their natural resources in the same fashion in which China took Hong Kong and wants to take Taiwan, they've got to become much more formidable, let alone what it'll send to other smaller nations about Russia re-emerging as the Soviet Union. What do you say to people, especially on the right, that say this is not our fight, it's not our worry enough? What I said. is an aggressive Putin matters. It matters to us on a lot of different fronts.

We remember that Ronald Reagan won the Cold War without firing a shot. That was a good thing. We know that Putin has wanted to basically, as we say in Nashville, put the band back together. And he wants to reassemble the old Soviet Union. If he feels like Biden is going to be weak and rudderless, which Biden has been, he is going to be more aggressive on the border.

It matters because that affects our allies. It matters because it sends a message that Biden is weak. It matters to Russia moving into Cuba and Venezuela with troops. which threatens our hemisphere. It matters because it sends the message that Afghanistan was not a one-off.

that cutting and running is going to be the way Biden works. And then you will see Putin China, Iran, North Korea all continue their aggression.

So it does matter what is going to happen there. Back in November, I sent Biden a letter and I said, look, Now is the time to put in place sanctions on Putin, on Russia, on the oligarchs.

Now is the time to begin sales of lethal assistance to the Ukrainian army And government, now is the time to have a coordinated diplomatic message. We know from Putin's past that he has chosen to move forward during the Olympics. He did it in 2008. With Georgia, he did it in 2014, with Crimea. We have to be very watchful of what he is going to do with these Winter Olympics and how he is going to treat Ukraine.

And for Biden not to be firm and say, you're not going to do this, we're going to back Ukraine, is something that will cause a lot more problems down the road. Senator Marshall Blackburn, thanks so much. You have a full plate. Got it. You got it.

Senator Marshall Blackburn joins us there from Tennessee. When we come back, we simulcast for the number one show in business television, Varney and Company, and the news. Tom Brady, calling it quits at the age of 44, made it official a short time ago. We'll discuss it all.

Now, the Brian Killmead Show joins Fox Businesses. Varney and Company with Stuart Varney, live on your radio and on Fox Business. Here's Brian Killmead. Hey, welcome back, everybody. Keep in mind, I'm going to do a quick hit with Stuart Varney.

We'll share audiences on FBN. You'll listen to him. He'll listen to us. And then we'll be able to take your calls on the back end, 1-866-408-7669, and he'll come to us. He's in the middle of this.

Of course, the big news about Tom Brady just came across and confirmed. It was leaked out on Saturday. It was confirmed. Here we are on Tuesday.

Okay. And then the news about in New York you might not be familiar with, but in New York we certainly are. They're going through the courts and getting rid of these stupid masks so the kids can go to school and make their own decisions.

So let's listen in together. After 22 seasons, Brady has announced his retirement. You're a sports guy, I'm not. I want to know why so many people dislike Brady, who is clearly the The best quarterback in history. I tell you, I don't really see him as disliked.

I mean, Aaron Rodgers seems to be the guy disliked because he had the audacity not to get vaccinated. But there was a time in which people really resented the New England Patriots. There was this story about the videotaping of practices in the Rams Super Bowl. We knew that. And the Jets, Eric Mangini, who was his former assistant, goes to the Jets and says, you're taping our games, our practices, our walkthroughs.

It's got to stop. That was a big scandal, Deflategate. But I feel like that really washed away, especially last year when he goes to the Bucs and then he goes and does something that he's been doing for most of his 20 years with the Patriots. And that's when, and for the seventh time, his Super Bowl championship. And then this year, it looks as though he looked around and said, I think we've got to really lose a lot of talent to the cap.

I've been doing this so long. I'm 44, 10 years past most quarterbacks. At 34, they're usually looking on the other side of things. He go had an MVP season at 44.

So he said, okay, I'm going to call quits. Does he get the $15 million? As I understood it, if he's not resigned or retired by February the 4th, he gets the $15 million.

Well, now he's retired or at least announced it.

So does he not get the $15 million? As I'd just like to confirm to you, as we always talk about in the halls, when we get our $15 million, a lot of it goes to taxes. But keep in mind, once you pay taxes, I will say this. He signed for $20. He got $5.

And what they did is, for salary cap purposes, they postponed the payment until Friday. I don't think he actually loses it because I think it's for last season.

So that's what I think the story is. If he comes back again, he gets even more than that, another $20 million. But I don't think money is really the object with him. I think he's got a kid that's 14, a daughter that's even younger, a son that's about ready for a senior year in high school, I believe. And I think that he's got three or four businesses on the side, including TB12, which if you're Listen to the book on tape, which I did.

It is really a whole way of living not to be a quarterback. And I think that's what he seems to want to get into next.

Okay. We always like to bring you issues that you're going to get fired up about. And I think we've got one now. Governor Hochul of New York has extended the statewide mask mandate to February the 10th. Frankly, I think that is utterly ridiculous.

How about you? How about the fact that cloth masks don't work? How about the fact that preschoolers, there are first graders here who have never seen their classmates' face? How about the fact that, being that we are two years into this, giving parents the choice? Does this woman want to get re-elected?

Does she understand there's this huge uproar for parents that want to stay in their kids' education, many of which are big secret Democrats?

So my town in particular said we're taking them off in a week.

So I don't know what she's doing. She's working through the court system. They already had that invalidated. And we have a Nassau County executive. And for those people around the country, Nassau County is bigger than nine.

Separate states. That's how dense it is populated. By the way, taxed higher than anywhere else in the country. They are saying enough.

So they're at war in the courts. February 10th, they're going to delay this until February 10th. It means you've got to do it for two more weeks. And it's just so unfair, Stuart. I just want to make sure that when the storm comes this weekend to the New York area, and one is coming to the New York area this weekend, I just want to make sure that you do the shoveling at your house and not your wife.

Because that futuristic shovel that you've got there, I don't believe you actually used it. I am told that it was your wife who did the shoveling. You're going to change that this weekend, aren't you? Stuart, what do you mean you're being told as if you have shovel sources? Don't act like you've got this big investigative team.

I've seen the Barney and Company budget. You do not have the budget to fan out the Long Island to see if I'm shoveling. The problem is, I was using a shovel that has a little circle thing. This way I could go lefty and righty. I could go low and I can go high.

I can adjust it. I think there's a change. Jealousy involved with you that I have not seen up until this moment that I could actually shovel it away that would be easy on my upper bottom. I'm out of time. It's 10:55.33.

I'm totally out of time. I've got to promo your One Nation show 8 o'clock Saturday nights on Fox News. And this weekend, Sunshine, you better get your wife to stay indoors. All right. Is Scott Shellardy with us?

Put Scott back on again. Sunshine. That's not Scott Shelley. That's Scott Shelledy. Hey, thanks for being with us for the hour, Scott.

We really appreciate it.

Okay, a lot of fun. Thank you. I think Stuart said goodbye to me. I think we're bleeding over to the reality. I think he missed the goodbye.

Yeah, I missed it. I don't think he really said goodbye to me. It wasn't me that was rude. I think it was Stuart that was rude. It was implied.

All right, so here's the deal on the shoveling. Dawn does it all the time. Yes. But it's not my fault. It does not snow on weekends.

And what happens is when you do news, which some people will say I've been doing since here, since 1997, they'll say, Brian, a big storm's coming.

So we need you to stay in the city. And we need you to stay overnight because if the storm hits, we need you a block away. Because if you go home, which is 30 miles away and can't get back, it's on you.

So what happens? I stay, and if it's really bad, I stay two days. And if I stay two days, that's two days of shoveling for Don Kilmead. It's not that I don't want to shovel. It's that I'm not there.

Well, you were home. And it snowed in the weekends. But there's no video view shoveling, so that's why everyone's going to be a little bit more. But I have a still. Do you need video?

Nobody trusts me? They don't. I have a still. I will post the still. In fact, Dawn took the picture.

She goes, no one's going to believe you're doing this. She took the picture, and now no one believes that she took the picture. No one believes it's me. No one believes my futuristic shovel. Did they put the shovel up during the piece?

They did, they did. But here's my question, though: not to throw your son under the bus, but where's Brian sometimes? I know he's working away. Oh, no, well, I mean, if he's there, but he's usually working away. He was with the Jacksonville Jaguars for a year.

So, his defense, and then he's working on it. But there's nobody lazy in my house. Just so happens, Dawn's the best at it. And if she's the best at it, why would I try to get ahead of her? I go, you keep up the good work.

I wish I was that good. Not a good argument. Oh. From the Fox News Radio Studios in New York City, giving you opinions and facts with a positive approach, it's Brian Kilmead. Thanks so much for listening, everybody.

It's the Brian Kilmee Chow, 1866-408-7669. We have a lot to cover. Peter Schweitzer, waiting on the sideline, at Dr. Gad Saad, professor of marketing at Concordia University, evolutionary behavioral scientist, and best-selling author of The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense. And we have lost all sense of common sense in America today, and we'll take your calls.

Peter Schweitzer's best-selling book is now out. It's called Red Handed: How American Elites Get Rich. uh helping China win Uh and it's uh kinda sad.

So let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three: The threats of action if Russia's. Security demands aren't met is provocative. Diplomacy is not provocative. Your actions will speak for themselves.

Yeah, I guess so. Lindsay Thomas Greenfield, the U.N. ambassador, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. U.S.

and Russia clash there in New York City. As relentless diplomatic sparring continues, all Russia is doing is escalating. If Russia still invades, why I believe Biden and the Dems will not be trusted with the White House for generations. Number two. On Fox is Janine Pirro talking about soft on prime consequences.

I mean, what? What does that even mean, right?

So there's an alternate universe on some coverage. What's scary about it is a lot of people watch that. Not laughing. The Fraternal Order of Police demands an apology. As Saki's chuckling at the so-called soft-armed crime policies of Fox and the Biden administration, we are bringing you the facts behind the laughter and see who really will be laughing now and in 2022.

Number There is a right to protest. There is a right to make your voices heard loudly and clearly. There is not a right to shut down our democracy or our democratic processes. There is not a right to abuse, intimidate, and harass. Your fellow citizens, And there isn't much harassing going on.

It's you that are being harassed because you will not let your thumb or your foot off the neck of Canadian citizens and many American truck drivers. Hypocrites, from Gavin Newsom to Justin Trudeau, you just heard to Boris Johnson, lockdown losers ruining lives and livelihoods while living theirs any way they want. I declare it all over from masks to mandates. What the Canadians are demanding, and the Brits have gotten complete freedom. We deserve the same, don't you think?

And I believe so. In case you do not know, Gavin Newsom, along with London Breed, mayor of San Francisco, and the governor of Los Angeles. Were they or caught? All without mass at a At the Rams San Francisco 49er game, I have no problem with it, but they have made rules and laws that they are enforcing on a regular basis, saying you got to wear masks at these events. And they're relentless.

They hire their minions out there to say, pick up your mask, sir, pick up your mask, get that over your nose. Excuse me, ma'am. You get your child, put them on the mask because they're not allowed to go. Excuse me, you're walking through the halls, get that mask, please put it on. I don't see it over.

I know you're sneezing, but as soon as you're done sneezing, put that mask back up. No, Governor Newsom, the man that apologized when he costed the French laundry at a birthday party, right at the height of the pandemic, is now sitting there with the oppressed Californians by his side in the pedestrian seats. We actually have to get up to get a snack, not get waited on in the boxes with the rich and famous and the athletic like Magic Johnson. Gavin Newsom tried to explain his maskless shot that was posted everywhere. Cut one.

I was very judicious yesterday. Very judicious. And you'll see in the photo that I did take. Where Magic was kind enough. Generous enough to ask me for a photograph.

And in my left hand's the mask, and I took a photo. The rest of the time I wore it, as we all should. Not when I had a glass of water or a thing, and encourage everybody else to do so. And that's it. I was trying to be gracious.

took the mask off for a brief second, but uh No, I urge people to continue to wear them. Not true. They were caught on the fan cam. People zeroing in. You could see it all over the place.

He's sitting there hanging out, probably with a billionaire or a big-time agent without a mask on, hanging off his ear. I have no problem with it, but I got a problem that you are ruining everybody's life by these mandates. Think about this: you're a third grader or a three-year-old. You have to wear a mask. And if it drops down, your teacher might even tape it to your face.

And they might say you're going to kill somebody if you continue to drop it. Excuse me, teacher. Why is it that the governor doesn't have to wear a mask? Do you have an answer to that? The answer is you don't have an answer because these hypocrites have to stop ruining our lives.

The governor of that state, the mayor of that city, the mayor of San Francisco, which is why people are leaving this fantastic state of California. The taxes are too high, the traffic is bad, and the oppressive conditions are ridiculous. Remember, that is the state. Los Angeles is the city with this beautiful weather, and they don't even let you eat outside. For months.

Think about that for a second. But that didn't get by Steve Hilton. He was on with Shannon last night, cut to. Not only is Gavin Newsom yet again breaking his own rules, he's not actually delivering on any of the real things that people want dealt with. And specifically, in that stadium, there's a mask mandate, an indoor mask mandate.

And the thing that's really driven people crazy here today, there's been such a lot of anger expressed over it, because still in California, we have masking compulsory mask mandates for kids in schools. My kids have to go to school, even outdoors, they're forced to wear a mask all day long. And yet, here he is going along, breaking the rules, and then furthermore, compounding it when he was called out on it last night. Today, guess what he says? He says, Oh, I only took my mask off.

He literally says, For a brief second to take a picture, because Magic Johnson wanted to take a picture with me because he's so great. Gavin Newsom is so great. Magic Johnson was desperate for. I took it off for a brief second. There's video and pictures been emerging all day long of Gavin Newsom throughout the game not having a mask on.

So he lied about it as well.

And I understand Steve's anger. I don't have little kids. I am outraged. I have kids in college that were forced to get boosters. And.

I just want to quickly expand it real quick. Boris Johnson, he is now probably going to lose his job as Prime Minister because he's an idiot. During the height of the pandemic, when he's locking down the UK, as bad as the Canadians were locked out and as bad as some states in America were, he had 16 parties, one of which he threw. He made this formal, invited all his friends 16 times. While the Queen of England is forced to have a funeral where she sits by herself with her husband, Prince Philip, dead in front of her in a casket, she is.

Have her six feet apart. She is the one taking in all the COVID rules that he put into place.

Well, he has sixteen parties. Justin Trudeau, he of Double Vaxed and Booster, tested positive. And then you have This governor here. And of course, we know that Joe Biden's been caught walking through restaurants, no mask within 100,000 miles of him. And then we see him idiotically knowing a photographer's there walking on the beach with his dog alone.

Outdoors, obviously, with a mask on.

So this has got to stop. Denmark released all regulations, all mandates, UK did the same thing. Canadians are being, they've ringed Ottawa demanding the same thing. We should do the same. You listen to the Brian Killmee show.

When we come back, the Titanic news, not that big of a surprise that Tom Brady has retired at the age of 44. Ian O'Connor, who spent about three years writing the book Belichick, one of the outstanding writers at the New York Post and around the country, has got a brand new book out about Coach Gay. It's about to come out, I should say. Joins us now with some perspective on why Brady did not thank anyone of the Patriots, if there's anything to that in his Instagram farewell. Don't move.

Educating, entertaining, enlightening. You're with Brian Kilmead. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead. Do you have a timeline?

I don't know. I know when the time's right.

So, like I've always said, it's, you know, I'm very blessed to play as long as I had. As things have gone on in the later parts of my career, whether that was five years ago or, you know, even this year, you know, there's a lot of interest in when I'm going to stop playing. I understand that. It's not that I don't recognize that. When I know, I'll know, and when I don't know, I don't know.

And I'm not going to race to some conclusion about that. And now he knows. Tom Brady is officially retired. Joining me now, Ian O'Connor, New York Post columnist, author of three straight New York Times bestsellers, including he's got one upcoming called Coach K. It comes out in two weeks, actually, February 22nd.

Coach K, The Rise and Reign of Mike Schaszewski. But the last book was Belichick, and man, he went inside that relationship big time. Ian O'Connor, welcome. I got to get your reaction to the news. You know, Brian, a lot of people.

Little surprised, obviously, not surprised given the conversation and reports of the last two weeks, but. I had a conversation with Tom Brady in 2017 where we talked about him playing into his late 40s, maybe age 50. And so he put that in play and said his wife had signed off on 45 and maybe even beyond.

So for him to stop at 44, it's not often where Tom Brady. stopped short of a stated goal, which was 45 or beyond. But He's taken a physical beating over the years. What he does in the offseason to get his body ready for an NFL season is pretty. Intense.

And after 22 years of doing that day after day, week after week, month after month, it caught up to him. I would not be surprised, Brian, if after a year he reconsiders this. But for right now, the greatest football player of all time has decided to retire. From what I can tell, this is a long statement. Nothing about The Pats.

Thank you to Bruce Arians. Nothing about to Alice Guerrero, is his trainer.

So he even brings up Don Ye and Steve Dubo. Thank you for with me every step of the way since I left the University of Michigan and to the league. Am I supposed to read into that? Do you read into that?

Well, he didn't mention the Patriots at all. I think he did sneak Alex in there, but. the Patriots in terms of Belichick, Kraft, the fans.

Now he he probably felt like I did that when I left New England. But still, if this is the end of your career and you won six or your seven Super Bowls with that franchise, It's pretty hard to believe in a nine-page Instagram post that you wouldn't have mentioned. craft bellichick and the fans at some point. And So this whole thing has been odd. He does a radio show last night where he acts like he's still going through the process of deciding whether or not to retire.

And then all of a sudden, this morning, he's retiring. And so that's why I think it is possible he could come back at some point. maybe after a year. But if this is the end of Tom Brady, not only is he the greatest quarterback ever, I certainly think you can make a very strong case, he's the greatest football player ever because That position, the quarterback position, as you know, Brian, is 80% of the sport.

So I think that it it's the enduring legacy of Brady is that he basically proved that almost anything is possible with the work ethic because he started out as Mich at Michigan as the sixth or seventh string quarterback. He was not that highly regarded. He was drafted one hundred and ninety ninth in two thousand overall.

So for him to become what he became is a pretty incredible story. It is, no doubt about it. What did it mean for him? He gets that Super Bowl last year. You know what I thought was kind of weird?

He actually took that loss better than any most losses that he has when he lost last week to the Rams. Comes back for 27-3, ties it up at 27. And then, of course, the Rams go get the victory, beat the Miners, and go to the Super Bowl. But I watched him at the end. It's almost as if, in a way, he thought, okay, that's it.

And I won last year and I'm ready to done. Did you notice that? They didn't seem as angry and distraught as we usually see him. I agree, Brian. And I would say the same thing after his playoff loss, his last playoff loss in New England when Tennessee beat them.

There was almost a resignation or a sense of relief that you could see on him in that moment and also in the moment you just talked about in Tampa when they lost to the Rams.

So yes, obviously, he had feelings. He knew he was leaving Foxborough when he did. And clearly here, he knew he was not going to play again for Tampa Bay.

So I think your read of his body language was correct and really proven today with this official statement. And so we'll see how the rest of his life plays out. If this really is the end of his life, Entire football journey. Again, I'm not completely convinced of that. Since he did talk about going to age 47, 48 with me and others in the past.

So it'll be interesting to see now if he can just be a businessman. Selling his TB12 products, his wellness products, and just making that the centerpiece of the rest of his professional life. I'm just not sure he's going to do that. From here to eternity, we'll see how it plays out.

So, Seth Wickerstrom expanded on the story that broke on Saturday with Darlington. Uh Jeff Darlington came out. And said, you know, look, he's going to retire. And then he blew, he actually added some color to it. He said that Aryans does not run as buttons-up ship as Belichick.

And he also has looked at the salary cap and saw how many roster changes there were coming down the pike and didn't necessarily think they could win again next year. What do you think? Does that play into it? That there was too much, even though it was a relief to get away from the Belichick regiment, there was a little bit too loose of a ship. And I think Seth's right.

I always thought that, Brian, he was going from one extreme to the other. You know, Bruce Arion's motto is. Uh win or lose, we booze. That's not quite the Belichick philosophy.

So I was very sort of surprised that he picked a coach who was the complete opposite of Belichick. I thought he'd find a middle ground somewhere. But Arians is the kind of guy, hey, let's get a beer after practice. Let's try to sneak in nine holes if we can of golf. And so I think Tom Brady probably really enjoyed that in year one.

And maybe in year two, that got to him a little bit, that it wasn't a little bit more like New England. And maybe that playoff defeat. He saw some things in that game where, boy, if we were in New England, that wouldn't have happened.

So I would not be surprised if that was part of his decision to walk away.

So we're talking with Ian O'Connor wrote a book, Belichick. He writes many bestsellers, another bestseller's coming out February 22nd, I'm sure, about Coach Kay. And he started writing that book before you knew Coach K was retiring this year, The Rise and Reign of Mike Schaszewski. But Ian, I got to ask you this. What role, and this is conjecture, I understand, does the fact that Belichick didn't make the playoffs last year, got eliminated and crushed and humiliated by the Buffalo Bills this year, it kind of buried the storyline of who's more important, Brady or Belichick, as he wins a Super Bowl and then wins another, you know, and does well, wins a playoff game and loses a heartbreaker in the second round?

Well, it's Brady's certainly now the leader in the clubhouse. The problem is, if he doesn't play football again, I think Belischuk is going to coach another four or five years. If he happens to win one with Mac Jones, I'm not saying he's going to, but he's got a chance to do that in the next, say, four years. Then all of a sudden, he pulls even at seven to seven. And of course, Belichick also has the two rings as the defensive coordinator with the Giants.

So that's not quite the same thing as being the head coach. I understand that. But Belichick now has the benefit of time if Tom Brady does not come back and play for somebody else. By the way, have they spoken yet? Have they spoken since he left that you know of?

Yeah, they spoke when Brady played there in October in Foxborough. They spoke after that game. Belichick went into the locker room. They had a nice conversation to try to mend some fences, and I think they did, which is a good thing. They should.

They accomplished more together than any head coach and quarterback in the history of the sport.

So I do think their relationship got better. It was not good at the end. But it was very odd that he didn't mention Belichick in this farewell. I don't really understand why that happened the way it did. And go ahead, Ian.

I cut you off before you had a statement.

Well, yeah, just about next year, if he comes back after a year off, Josh McDaniels is very close to. Tom Brady, the former offensive coordinator of the Patriots. He's now the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. They have a quarterback in the final year of his contract. If Jim Harbaugh takes the Minnesota job, he's friends with Harbaugh, and they have a quarterback in the final year of his contract.

So if people are looking for, well, if Tom Brady comes back in 2023 after a year off, those would be two spots I think to look at. Ian already tried to make some news in his retirement. Ian O'Connor, I'll have you on again for Coach K. Thanks so much. Thanks, Brian.

Appreciate it. Looking forward to it. And you can pre-order that book right now. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show.

Canadian media, which are largely controlled by the government, support these policies and Trudeau uncritically. In Nova Scotia, protests against Justin Trudeau's vaccine mandates are now banned by law. Rarely has a nation changed this quickly or more unequivocally for the worse. And last week, thousands of Canadian truckers reached their limit. A convoy of truckers converged on the capital city, Ottawa, to demand peacefully, cheerfully, but persistently, an end to Justin Trudeau's tyranny.

Justin Trudeau's response to this display of democracy, he fled the city. Trudeau evacuated his official residence and hid in an undisclosed location. He is still cowering there tonight. Will he come back? Has he abdicated?

Will Canada be ruled by a junta of truckers? Wow. That is a little of Tucker Carlson's take on what's happening in Canada and Ottawa. It's unbelievable. Thousands of truckers have shown up, and then thousands of Canadians have shown up demanding an end to all the mandates and all the restrictions, the masks in schools, and what they're doing to the kids.

Much like what you're experiencing here in America, much like the UK frustrated until their scandal-ridden prime minister realizes he's got to lift everything. Much how Denmark felt until they decided to lift everything. How soon till they do that here, and the idiocy of what's happening. Dr. Gad Saad Saad joins us now, Professor of Barking Concordia, evolutionary behavioral scientist, his specialty, best-selling author of The Parasitic Mind.

He also has, you can see him on YouTube. You can also get his podcast, Dr. Saad. Gad, welcome back. Oh, it's so good to be with you, Brian.

Thank you for having me. What is your take on what's happening in Canada? It's insane. I mean, today was the first day. I was just speaking to a producer offline.

I went to work this morning at a cafe. It's the first time that I've been able to go and work from outside my house for the past uh month. until recently, they just lifted it. All the cafes were closed, all the restaurants were closed, all the gyms were closed, you couldn't walk your dog at night. There was a curfew until they reversed that policy.

So it's insane. We really are living in a Kafkaes slash Orwellian world. It's grotesque. But why would you guys tolerate that?

Well, I mean, I guess most people are pathologically apathetic. Many people are cowardly, so they'll complain privately. But when it comes to them putting their necks on the line, they don't. I mean, that's the problem that I see in academia for the past two decades, right, Brian? I mean, I received thousands of emails from professors saying, thank you so much, Dr.

Saad, you keep me sane. But please, if you're going to read my email on your show, please don't mention my name.

So if I can't get you to be courageous enough to simply publicly stand with me, how can I get you to topple these governmental mandates? It's almost an impossible feat.

So these truckers have shown up. What's the result been s as they ringed Ottawa? It's more than truckers now, isn't it? Oh yeah. I mean I just yesterday, Brian, I had one of the spokesperson of the Freedom Convoy, his name is B.

J. Dichter, whom I've known for many years, who happens to be Jewish.

Now why am I saying this? Because Trudeau and the mainstream media is basically feather and tarring everyone who's participating in this convoy, you know, as being Nazis and extremists and science deniers and their white supremacists. The reality is that there are liberals there, conservatives, black, white, gay, straight. It really defies any demographic pigeonholing. But of course, The government relies on the fact that most people are cognitively lazy.

So if they tell you that these are just a bunch of trucker extremists, you'll nod your head and quietly believe it.

So I want you to hear this guy, Rick Wall. He plays to what you're saying. He's a trucking company owner, and he's describing what it's like on the ground in Ottawa, Cut Six. Our federal government and our Prime Minister is completely out of touch at this point. I mean, he does not have the best interests in mind, not of the general public.

There might be a small minority that may still support what he's doing, but the general. The general mass of Canadians, they're just completely done with this narrative. We're just tired of it. We just want our lives back. And most importantly, we just want.

We just want to be able to have the right to provide for our families, and that's being ripped away from us. We're not going to stand for it anymore. I mean, do you that's the sentiment that I think that I'm seeing in the sound bites that I'm seeing for coming from Ottawa. Obviously, I'm in New York, but I really believe that March first that they're going to hit Washington DC with the same thing. Yes.

I mean, look, when people speak up in unison, the solid majority can't take this anymore. This is we're entering year three. I mean, if I just tell you about some of the mandates at my own university, right? Department the departmental meetings are still being held via Zoom. but we are now forced to go back to in person teaching.

Now I'm more than happy to go back to in person teaching, but why are the departmental meetings still via Zoom? The virus doesn't spread when we are twenty professors in the room, but it spreads when I have to face one hundred students in another room.

So the amount of ad hoc and I don't think all of these mandates are due to a priori diabolical intent. It's just a measure of the ineptitude of these g governmental agencies, and we just quietly sit there and take it. It's unbelievable. And right now, he says he tested positive of the virus. He was swept away for his own safety.

I mean, I can't even look at this guy. I don't even know him. But his policies make me sick. His self-righteousness, politically correctness makes me ill. Here he is talking about the difference between the right protest and the wrong protest.

Cut fourteen. There is a right to protest. There is a right to make your voices heard loudly and clearly. There is not a right. To shut down our democracy or our democratic processes, there is not a right.

to abuse, intimidate, and harass. Your fellow citizens And that's not happening. He says there's some insidious people that have infiltrated inside, but for the most part, these people are peaceful. Thanks. I used to one of my quotes about Trudeau has become now a viral meme.

Let me just kind of try to summarize it, paraphrase it. I basically argued a few years ago that if you took all of the undergraduate students that I have taught in my now nearly twenty eight years as a professor, and you rank them according to intelligence. The dumbest Student that I've ever taught is about 100 to 1,000 times smarter than Justin Trudeau.

Now, I used to say that many of his positions were due to imbecility or his ineptitude, whereas now I truly think that he is a diabolical creature. He's been parasitized by all sorts of idea pathogens that are truly detrimental to individual dignity, to freedom. And what amazes me is that not only did we elect him once, not twice, but three times. At what point do you start thinking Canada is a lost cause when it never autocorrects from its past bad decisions? It's unbelievable.

So, people should know, I'm talking to Dr. Gadsaad. He's calling us from Canada. We called him, I should say. Just for your background, you used to live in Beirut until 1975.

In terms of the Olympics, your brother competed in the Olympics, so I got to get you on that. I also want to get you on what it means to, I guess, the Holocaust, because it means what I thought we all agreed on, it was an attempt to annihilate. The Jews, but not according to Whoopi Goldberg, Cut 39. Let's be truthful about it because the Holocaust isn't about race. No.

No. It's not about race. It's about man's inhumanity to man. That's what it's about. Let's talk about it for what it is.

It's how people treat each other. Is that what uh the Holocaust was? Oh, she is. She is just unbelievable, this woman. I mean, really, if when Jussie Smollett.

Experiences a full hoax of a crime, of a hate crime, then everybody starts crying and sending their empathetic messages to him. But the wholesale eradication of a people on an industrial scale level, that was just against humanity, had nothing to do with racism. She's unbelievable. In science, there's the concept of epistemic humility, right?

So, for example, I know what I know, and I know what I don't know. Regrettably, the people on the view know about everything, right? They have no epistemic humility.

So they can spew all kinds of nonsense and then once in a while they will claw it back and apologize. She's grotesque. Yeah, it was it's unbelievable. And she tried to apologize. Tell me if you're buying this, cut forty.

I feel being black when we talk about race, it's a very different thing to me.

So I said that I I felt that the Holocaust wasn't about race. People were very angry and they said, no, no, we are a race. And I I understand. I understand. I I felt differently.

So do you do you Do you accept the should the Jewish community accept that apology? Yeah. listen, one has to be gracious and accept when someone does something wrong.

So fine, yes, I accept it. I mean, it's not as though she's committed a capital crime. Let's be gracious about it. But you earlier you mentioned about my history in Lebanon and my brothers being an Olympian. We left Lebanon because we are Lebanese Jews who were going we were going to be executed in any moment.

My brother had to leave Lebanon prior to the war because he was visited by some Lebanese folks who said that it was time for him to retire because it wasn't really looking good for the optics for a Jew to continuously win the Lebanese championship.

So he moved to France to pursue his career, and yet he was gracious enough to represent Lebanon in the nineteen seventy six Olympics when he had left Lebanon.

So I don't need to hear about Whoopi Goldsberg whining about American racism. When someone like me, growing up as a child, didn't know whether I was going to live from second to second. But that's the problem with the West right now. Everything is judged according to an orgiastic competition of who's the greatest victim.

Well, I was a true victim, Whoopi Goldberg wasn't. Get over it, be grateful for what you have and stop whining. Understood. Very good point.

So I got to bring you to then that we have a debate in this country now. Should we really care about the Ukraine? Should we be focusing there instead of on China? What is your take? I mean, in the ranking of global threats and where we should I don't worry about my cholesterol level if my hair is on fire.

And so to use that analogy, China is currently my hair on fire.

So, we should be a lot more worried about what China is up to than whether we should intervene in Ukraine.

Now, if we are going to intervene in Ukraine, then at least be consistent and worry about your own borders. But apparently, the United States and Biden care a lot more about the territorial integrity of Ukraine than they do about that of the U.S. That doesn't sound consistent to me. I do worry about the reconstitution of the Soviet Union and the fact that they absorb the Ukraine and get those ports and get the natural resources. They turn around and try for the Baltic states.

We might have another formidable foe as opposed to the oil and gas-driven economy of Vladimir Putin. Don't you agree? I do agree.

So there's no question that those are serious concerns. But again, in sort of the hierarchy of who is our greatest foe now, I think that Russia, even if it were to reconstitute itself a greater Soviet Union, would be minuscule compared to the threat that China currently is metting on the world. Gad, two more topics. Number one is China. We're going over there.

We know the millions of Muslims, the kids that have been separated from their families. Genocide has actually taken place there. We know what they did to Hong Kong, what they're threatening to do to Taiwan. What they did to the world, essentially poison us all or try to. Should we be competing in the Olympics?

I think it's a dreadful idea. Look, the penalties for what China has unleashed on the world should be much greater than a symbolic penalty. But at the very least, we have the ability to say, you know what, there are consequences to your actions.

Now I'm not implying that whatever happened in China was willfully duplicitous, but even if it was accidental, there weren't the right measures there set up for all the type of viral research they were doing.

So the least that we should be doing is boycotting the Olympics from my view. And lastly, Joe Rogan yesterday came out and explained himself, or was it Sunday when he released it, came out and explained himself and Some of the misinformation he's been claimed to have been relaying. All he's doing, in my view, is asking questions, and they say he's spreading misinformation irresponsibly. He's got some people who are extremely high-credentialed coming in, one of which has six patents as it has to do with mRNA, Dr. Malone.

Here's what he said in a very, I think, humble address yesterday. Here's a portion of it, Cut 17. Do I get things wrong? Absolutely, I get things wrong, but I try to correct them. Whenever I get something wrong, I'm not trying to promote misinformation.

I'm not trying to be controversial. I've never tried to do anything with this podcast other than just talk to people and have interesting conversations. And that's the approach I got. You've been on there before. Do you have a different take?

No, I'm fully in agreement. Look, I've been on Joe's show many times. I just released a few days ago a clip, which I titled Joe Rogan versus Neil Young and Tom Cruise. And the reason why I included Tom Cruise in the mix is because remember that Tom Cruise is the guy who used to say, well, look, Scientology has the cure for psychiatric ailments, right? There is no such thing as psychiatric disorder.

You simply have to, you know, take vitamins and exercise, and you won't have any psychiatric ailments.

Well, we didn't cancel him, we didn't say he's not allowed to speak. In a free society, You have to allow people to state falsehoods, to be racist. Look, I'm Jewish, Brian, who escaped execution in Lebanon. I support the right of Holocaust deniers to spew their nonsense.

So in a free society, the way we adjudicate between competing ideas is by letting them all compete in the battlefield and then may the best idea win.

So it's terrible that we are seeing now the penchant where we feather and tar anyone with whom we disagree as being a promulgator of misinformation. It is grotesque and it will only lead to downstream very nefarious effects. Dr. Gadsad, thanks so much. If people want to find your podcast, where do they go?

Back in a moment. Diving deep into today's top stories, it's Brian Kilmead. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. Hey, welcome back, everybody.

Just don't forget. I know it's early in the week, but don't forget Big Saturday show at 8 o'clock and Fox and Friends tomorrow, 6 to 9, and always be back here every single day because we cover the breaking news, including the big news. Uh today and that is The big news today, and that is that Tom Brady officially retired at the age of 44. But you heard Ian O'Connor, New York Post columnist, very successful, I think, five-time New York Times best-selling author. Last three books were on the New York Times list.

He came out and he says, Listen, I did a book on Belojack. I've talked to Brady many times. We thought he was playing until he was 50.

So he could retire for a year and then come back. I don't actually see that. It's not like it's boxing where they do that all the time. The other big story. And I'm keeping an eye on this.

We're supposed to have Peter Schweitzer this hour. We'll probably have him later in the week. But the New York Times is suing the State Department. Guess why? Over the FOIA request of Hunter Biden's emails.

This one in particular to Romania. We heard he had deals in Romania. We know he had deals in the Ukraine. We know he had deals with the Moscow mayor's wife. We know he had about four separate deals in China.

We don't know the details of those deals, but now it looks like the New York Times cares.

So now that he's safely elected and a year in office, they're starting to look at what his family's actually up to. And remember, Tony Bobolinski came out, and the New York Times wouldn't even acknowledge it. He came out and said Joe Biden was getting a percentage of these international business deals, and he was listed down there as the big guy.

So that, to me, I find fascinating.

Now the New York Times is suddenly interested. We know they could do the job, and they certainly have the resources if indeed they decide. But most of all, What I want you to take from today is the outward hypocrisy of everyone putting these oppressive rules on us. We have Justin Trudeau telling us to get double vax, selling Canadians get double vax and boosted. He's pretending, I believe, that he actually has the COVID-19 virus because he's scared to death because his people are beginning to rise up against him in those oppressive ways.

Then Boris Johnson cracks down on his country massively over the course of the last two years, suddenly decides to lift all restrictions up, and has everything to do with the fact that it was discovered and an investigation revealed that he had 16 parties while everybody else was locked down. Very similar to Gavin Newsom, caught again without a mask on, demanding your three-year-old and your sixth grader do the same thing, along with the mayor of San Francisco, mask off, and Mayor Garcetti of Los Angeles. These are the people in control of our lives. This has got to end. Put the power of over 100 meteorologists and the worldwide resources of Fox in your hands with the Fox Weather Podcast.
