Bobulinski blows up Joe Biden, Hunter; Brian talks to Herschel Walker

From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. Thanks so much for being here, everybody. It's the Brian Kilmey Chow, 1866-408-7669. One of the greats, impactful senator in Washington, D.C.

Senator Bill Cassie, running for re-election, will be joining me. That'll be great. Also, we'll get to the bottom of what's going on in New Orleans. Zion's back on the court for the Pelicans, but more importantly, the mayor. Turns out she's been living rent-free, traveling around in first class while the city of New Orleans.

The city of New Orleans is a thousand cops shy. It is a mess. I was just there. It is the murder capital of every big city in the country. Nothing to be proud of.

Let's get Senator Bill Cassidy on that. Right now, let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. And I think the more that Ukrainians continue to seize ground in the east. And in the South, I think the more desperate Putin becomes, I mean, look, this has been a strategic failure in multiple ways since it began in February. Ah, there you go.

Mark Espera, Putin, time to panic. His army is being routed as reserves are called up and a hundred thousand hundreds of thousands more have moved out of the country rather than serve. Let's not get wobbly, Joe. Let Zelensky finish the job, which includes Crimea, maybe before winter even sets in. Number two.

I hope everyone can see. It's sort of like everyone is anonymous or everyone is leaking and they want you to confess to something you have no clue about, but it just shows how desperate they are right now. They they energize me. Herschel Walker, after raising $500,000 since his revelations in the Daily Beast, and now with his son coming out against him, he is not slowing down. He has just joined me on Fox and Friends.

We'll tell you what he said and play it back. Race by race, from Herschel to Fetterman to Abrams. We'll look at the breaking news around the races that matter most and emerging issues pushing both parties to rising gas prices to how to control crime. Number one. I can't find another story in the history of our country that has been actually so suppressed.

Suppressed actually isn't a complete blackout. There has not been one crime. Credible interview on refuting anything I've said. He's 100% right, and that is the voice of Tony Bobolinski. He blows up Biden in a detailed way that lays out the challenges to all media and negligent FBI to once and for all do their job.

In an hour-long interview with Tucker Carlson, we'll bring you the highlights, and that's where we'll begin. In fact, I'm going to just change the format just a little bit. I'll go with number two first. I just got off the set. Fox and Friends had a chance to talk to Herschel Walker, the first time he's been talking since his son came out against him on TikTok and, excuse me, on Twitter, where he said that basically he thinks Herschel's lying.

What is he talking about? The Daily Beast came out with a story that says in 2009 he paid for a woman's abortion.

Well, he said never happened. She produced a card, but she will not give her name and there's no check. Cost about $700, but he says I mail checks to everybody. I have no idea who this woman is. In the story, they say they are still in touch.

So we don't know who it is. We don't know what's next. We knew, though, his son opened up on him and just basically called him a liar. Here's Christian Walker. Cut 14.

I was silent. Lie after lie after lie. The abortion card drops yesterday. It's literally his handwriting in the card. They say they have receipts, whatever.

He gets on Twitter. He lies about it.

Okay, I'm done. Done. Everything has been a lie. He goes on, cut fifteen. My intention is, don't lie about your life at the expense of me, my mom, and all of the people that you've affected throughout your life.

You don't get to pretend you're some moral family guy. You don't get to pretend all these things. Talk policy, talk normal, do not lie.

So I asked him that, played that cut, and here's what he said, cut twelve. I love my son unconditionally, and that's the way I've always been. I always love him unconditionally. You know, he graduated college a couple of months ago. He's now a young man doing his own thing, but his father is always there for him, always will be for any of my kids.

And I love him. I always support them, and I always have supported them, and I always will, and I love them unconditionally. And he wouldn't answer the question. He said the son one of them is telling the truth, and he said he didn't want to talk any more about it and went back and forth. He believes that they're targeting him like they are Kavanaugh.

Um cut 13. He's doing tremendous damage to you by coming out with those statements. Do you know why he's saying this?

Well, the damage he's doing, he's letting people know that the left will do whatever they can. The wind is seat. And I told you when I got in this race, I'm going to win this seat. People see someone sitting here in front of you right now that's been redeemed. And I want America to know I'm living proof that you can make mistakes and get up and keep going forward, but you can only do it in this country right here.

And you can only do it if we get this election correct this come November. Because we vote for the people on the left, like the guy running against Senator Walnot, you're not going to have a chance to be redeemed. He's a minister and he don't believe in redemption. Right now, they're trying to destroy America. They're trying to destroy Georgia.

And I'm not going to let them happen. It ain't going to happen on my watch.

So, Christian Walker is a flamboyant, outwardly gay, conservative who is always on Twitter, big social media influencer, whether it's TikTok, Twitter, Instagram. And just in the past, this is what caught many people by surprise. He's praised his dad, Cut16. All the Democrats Have fun with an all-blue president, Congress, Senate. Did you live your best life?

Well, hope you had fun because the Senate's about to be read. Team Herschel? I think everyone's really excited that my dad Herschel Walker is taking the opportunity. And I think what's cool about it is he's already built this foundation of trust with fellow Georgians. They've watched his work ethic, his attention to detail, but even demographics that don't typically vote Republican come out in support of my father Herschel.

And we'll see. If he's going to win, he's got to get a little bit more of the black vote. He's within striking distance.

Now, with Warnock, this guy's no saint. He's got, he ran over his wife's foot allegedly. He doesn't come across with child payments. Evidently, now that he's not just a reverend, he's a senator. He's got a big increase in salary.

When it comes to child support, there's been no increase there. This guy is no saint. He's for defunding the police. He says you can't serve God and serve in our military. Not a big, he doesn't talk much about it now.

Kind of a 16-19 guy. All white people should apologize. Friends with Reverend Wright. This guy's got a background which makes him vulnerable to the people of Georgia. And that's what Herschel Walker comes out as a black and Conservative who grew up in abject poverty with two working parents who never was given anything.

Guy had to work out basically in bare feet, couldn't afford weights, and did push-ups and headstands and whatever he did to become this behemoth and great athlete, Olympic athlete as well as running back and a track star. Did that all himself? Family were athletes, but no one gave him anything.

So it's a good story. Will it be enough to win the Senate seat? Looks like Rick Scott and people are rallying behind him instead of running from him.

So I think that's pretty important. In terms of major stories in Georgia, it's Stacey Abrams trailing by about eight.

Now she's trying to rewrite history. If you're going to convict the president on denying elections and say he's killing democracy, you have to go back to 2018 when Stacey Abrams clearly lost to Brian Kemp and they said that she struck a bunch of people from the ballots. Those people were not on the ballots. They were on there not on for the right reasons. They had moved.

They were out of there. They had not answered any questionnaire. That's why they were taking those. Had constantly done to cleanse the balance of names that are no longer alive or living there.

So, listen to Stacey Abrams trying to rewrite history, CUT 17. Is there any scenario under which you would concede that you lost publicly in 2018? In 2018, on the day I made that speech, if you played the beginning of the speech, I acknowledged that I was not the governor, that Brian Kemp won the election. What I said is that the process denied access to too many voters, and that was proven by more than 3,000 voters who made their voices heard by a trial and a process that was the first full-length trial held on voting rights in more than a decade in the state of Georgia. I have never denied the outcome.

Ugh, does anyone buy that? Anybody? She denied the outcome over and over again. She used it to raise money to her credit. And what she did is change the election laws.

Brian Kemp went along with it toward the legislature and allowed Georgia to go blue. Senate seats. But it stayed red, and now Brian Kemp has done so well, according to the people of Georgia and me, especially during the pandemic when I think he led the charge. I think that's why he's out on top. I think his.

That's part of the reason, too. And I think a lot of people were turned off because she absolutely destroyed Georgia. And she also indicated in the past, maybe erroneously. That she doesn't like the state. Here's what she actually did say in not conceding the election Cut 18.

This is not a speech of concession. It was not a free and fair election. The game was rigged against the voters of Georgia. And I do have one. very affirmative statement to make.

We won. If it looks like it's rigged, it probably is. But I didn't lose. I got the votes.

Okay.

So she's still lying. And she got the All-Star game kicked out of Atlanta, where you could have the all mostly urban setting where you had all these people set to profit, well, these bar owners and hotel rooms and the stadium workers. Instead, Colorado got it because she went and started this big thing that The election was stolen, so we don't want to bring movies there, and we don't want the all-star gameplay there. She went back into USA Today and changed her editorial. That's why she's losing by eight points.

And this is a double whammy for Democrats because she was one of the up-and-coming so-called stars. You lose a governor's race twice while denying it the first time, and you lose decisively the second time. I don't think she's got a strong political future.

So, when we come back, we are going to talk to Senator Kennedy. And then, at the bottom of the yard, Kathy Lee Gifford will come in and we'll talk about whatever she wants. Also, great news. Aaron Judge is the single-season home run king in the American League, I think, in all major league history. What do you think?

It's sort of like everyone is anonymous or everyone is leaking and They want you to confess to something you have no clue about, but it just shows how desperate they are right now.

They see me as a big threat, and I know that, and I knew it when I got into this race, but they don't realize that I think they came for the wrong one. They they energize me. They energize me 'cause I know how they really want to try to keep their seat. And that is a seat that the Republicans must have if they actually more than likely want to keep the Senate. There's just no choice.

There's no way two ways about it. It's the Georgia seed, Herschel Walker coming out responding to the Daily Beast, saying that he paid for an abortion in 2009 when he's pro-life now. And then his son came out and said everything he's been saying is a lie. And it looks like Rick Scott is doubling, tripling down. Lindsey Graham, the same way, $500,000 has been raised by the campaign since the allegations came out.

Senator Bill Cassidy joins us now. Senator, do you support, still support Herschel Walker?

So, I don't know the facts of this case. I know that this is an allegation. And it's 2009. And we do not know the person's identity. We don't know any of that.

And so you don't make a decision based on hearsay. Let me just say that. Herschel does have a right. The question is: who is going to control the Senate with all that implies? But I can concede.

There are going to be people who are pro-life who are going to be incredibly troubled by this. and the people of Georgia are going to have to make a decision. Um And lastly, Herschel's right. At the end of a campaign, people are throwing all sorts of things which later on you may decide are not true, but at the moment, they're just trying to influence that last race. It's a tough call for a lot of folks.

Two on another note, so we'll see. But so far, you're in his corner because they're out, or are you not in this corner? You're waiting. No, I'm in his corner.

Okay.

Uh, just just 'cause I know that that's what happens at the end of a race. Um and so um But I can tell you, I can tell you, there's going to be some pro-life people who would like to know the answers to that. Senator Bill Cassie, our guest. Senator, it just came across now. OPEC Plus will cut production by 2 million barrels a day.

That is going to force the price up. It's been climbing for the last eight days, especially in the West Coast. What's your reaction? Yes, so this is the United States should be energy independent. And Joe Biden has made a decision to leave it in the ground.

He would argue otherwise, but the facts are on federal lands, we've got all these natural resources, and his administration is doing everything they possibly can to not develop it. And so we're paying the price literally. We're paying the price at our utility bill. We're paying the price at the gas pump. And the Europeans are going to pay the price.

We're trying to support our allies who right now are trying to wean themselves from Russian oil and gas. We could be supplying them more. Instead, they become more dependent on OPEC, OPEC's cutting by 2 million barrels a day.

So this administration's policies on energy have been a disaster for the American people and, frankly, for the people of freedom-loving countries. As complicated as Saudi Arabia is, one thing the previous President did is met with him early. He thought they then have a lot of say in energy production, and he seemed to have gotten their trust as much as Saudi Arabia will trust you, perhaps. That seems to be a different story. Do you think relationships matter?

I think it does matter, by the way. The previous president, President Trump, also called him up and said, listen, you're doing some stuff which is not right. We've got a lot of troops there protecting you. We may pull them out if you don't start kind of helping us out a little bit. But he had that relationship in which we had committed to their defense.

This administration came in, and President Biden said off the bat that we're going to change our relationship with Saudi Arabia. That's not just trust, that's destroying trust. And so there's just been a pattern here, Brian. Of if it's something that's going to work against U.S. energy independence.

Joe Biden has seemed to work the other way. And he would argue: No, we're doing renewables. We are dependent upon China for the critical minerals for all the renewables that they are talking about. This administration on energy has been a disaster. Here is the press secretary trying to explain to America that you are wrong on that, Senator Cassie.

Listen, cut 35. You've said the President was responsible for gas prices coming down. Is the President responsible for gas prices going up?

So it's a lot more nuance than that, right? Peter, you know this. There have been global challenges that we have all have dealt with. When I say all meaning other countries as well have dealt with since the pandemic. There's been pandemic and there's been Putin's war.

And Putin's war has increased gas prices at the pump. We have seen that over the past several months. And what the President was able to do, he took some historic steps.

So we feel better? No, I don't feel better. There are permits in the Gulf of Mexico that were applied for at the beginning of this year. And I've been told that if they had been issued six months after being issued, that there would be oil and gas from off the coast of Louisiana being processed for our consumers. By the way, creating American jobs along the way, not just in Louisiana across the nation.

Those permits have still not been issued. And if I told you the reason they weren't, you'd be screaming like that can't be true. But it is totally a technicality as to why they've not been. Go ahead. This administration has done what it can to make us more dependent upon others for energy, and we're paying the price.

Senator Lassley. The military is kicking out twenty thousand men and women because they won't get vaccinated and their religious exemption has been rejected. Should we be kicking out twenty thousand people who don't want to get the COVID nineteen vaccine when the pandemic is over? No, we should not, by the way. And the reason I base that as a physician Is that as a physician, is that we know that previous exposure works like a vaccine.

80% of those folks statistically have been previously exposed to COVID. 80% of those people are now immune, not because they've been vaccinated, but because they've been exposed, and probably in that age group, it may be closer to 100%. If you want to follow the science, you would say the question here is immunity, not vaccination. And if they're immune, they should be allowed to stay. No matter what else you think, they're kind of ignoring the best science.

And you're the you're a doctor, and you're not just saying that. And just real quick, when they say, well, like we tell the soldiers to get other the the men and women who fight, told them to get other vaccinations, not a problem. Why is this a problem? What do you tell them? Yes.

So in nineteen the the the measles vaccine came out roughly nineteen fifty eight. There was a point in time where they would say, either you've been vaccinated or you were born pre prior to nineteen fifty eight, because if you're born prior to nineteen fifty eight, we know that you were already exposed.

So we actually have precedent. That if you've been previously exposed to measles, you're considered to be immune. They should use that precedent here now, too. Senator Cassie, thanks so much. It's Senator Kennedy's upper election, not you.

Senator Pell Cassie, hoping to get into the majority. Don't move. Kathy Lee Gibbert's coming in next.

You're with Brian Kilmead. Who was the way? Who was this light that dawned in the darkness? His name was Jesus, Yeshua, the long-awaited Messiah. and from the people he encountered.

to the miracles he performed. Jesus forever transformed and redeemed. The very world. He came to die for her. All right, and that's Kathy Lee Gifford doing the voiceover for what is a book.

It's also, it's The Way is the name of the book, but it's also The God of the Way, which is also a movie.

Well, yeah, you got them switched up, but that's typical of you this late into your day. The movie was called the book. Oh, really? You know what? Oh, yeah.

Wait, wait, is it really? Yeah, and the book is called The God of the Way. But it doesn't matter. You're so. But you know what I'm talking about.

Yes, I know. Right. It's pro-God. Like, you're not coming out agnostic. No, you're not going to come out agnostic.

I don't know. You may come out sick of me. That's not unusual. It hit the New York Times list and first week now, and now it's available on DVD. Is that correct?

The film's available on DVD. Can you download it from YouTube or something to? Not yet. No, no. It'll be streaming pretty soon.

Because a fathom film is. You just got back from Israel. Just got back. How'd it go? It was a difficult trip this time.

I hadn't been back in three and a half years because of COVID, and I had some physical issues I didn't have when I was younger. And then we do really, really strenuous hikes. And we go to places that your average tourist who goes to Israel to get their picture taken with the camel on the Mount of Olives. That's their trip to Israel. I'm not putting it down, but that's not the way we go.

We go, and it's all day long, all day, like 6 in the morning to 6 in the morning. Are you seeing new stuff or the same stuff? Yeah, no, new stuff all the time. New stuff. It's really exciting.

I take people that have never been there before.

So you got to cover some of those things as well. But you'd find it fascinating because we study not just what the Bible says, because the Bible basically is a. For me, it's like a pen and ink painting. But when we go and we study rabbinically, it's like getting all the cut, it's like giving it to Picasso to put in all the color because you get geopolitical and cultural relativity, which just makes it all come alive. You're a historian.

I love to study history. I missed my high school graduation because I was at the first Jerusalem Conference on Biblical Prophecy in 1971. Wow. I was even then a Bible nerd. But I had a big struggle with the Bible that I studied because I didn't believe a lot of it.

And it turns out I was right. They were bad translations. The Bible was written as one book. It shouldn't have ever been divided down the middle into the Old Testament and the New Testament. And the New Testament starts after Jesus is born.

Well, right. It starts with the book of Matthew, which is, you know, Matthew is a tax collector and he was one of Jesus' disciples, one of the first original twelve. Yeah, there's the last book of the Bible, the Old Testament, I mean, is Malachi. There were 400 years of Jewish history between Malachi and Matthew. That for some reason it was divided down the middle.

That the Jews were the Old Testament, you know, the law, the law, and the New Testament was Jesus and mercy and grace.

Well, it's all one story of justice and mercy and grace, all of it. And all it's done is like so much in our life today and in our world. You guys talk about it every day. It divides us. And it was never meant to be a divisive thing.

It's a Jewish story, and that comes as a big surprise to an awful lot of people.

So, how long did it take before people, the apostles or others, started writing things down? Oh, immediately. A lot of them were not even learned people, though. They weren't Pharisees and Sadducees. They'd never been.

But the oral tradition in the Jews has been heralded by everybody since that's the way. Heralded by accurate, you mean? Yes, yes. Heralded by people that are scholars who don't particularly believe in truth of it. I mean, just their genealogies were just unbelievable.

Did you ever see the Book of Eli? No. Was it good? Yeah, but it's about that. It's about it's about that they they don't need a physical book in front of them.

They have it here. Right. They have it here in their head and they had it in their heart. What about people? The Dead Sea Scrolls.

It was all they they it was they knew it all. They had memorized. Right. The Dead Sea Scrolls, where do they fit in? They fit in because in the timeline.

Well, the Dead Sea Scrolls came from the ASEAN, and they're right there in Qumran, is a place very close to the Dead Sea, right on the Dead Sea. The ASEANs had been, well, I don't know how much you want to talk about. How many ACEs? Is it Syria? No, the Essians were students of the Bible.

They were zealots for the Word of God. That's why they cared so much that every single letter in the Hebrew had to be written down perfectly. They could have spent an entire day on one part of the papyrus. And they make one mistake at the end of the day because they're tired. Boom, throw it out.

It's got to be perfect. And the only thing that the reason why I study the way I do is because the Old Testament, you have to read it and understand it in the Hebrew, the original Greek Hebrew language. And you have to, the same with the New Testament, with the Greek.

Now, is that Aramaic? No, that's separate. But in Jesus' day, they did speak Greek and Aramaic and Hebrew in his day. Mm-hmm. Because I know Mill Gebson said that when he wanted to do um Passion of the Christ.

Passion of the Christ, he said, I had to go back and I wanted the original Aramaic. Imagine being an actor having to learn a new language and have it translated one of the things.

Some of the things Jesus said on the cross were actually Aramaic. Yeah.

Okay.

So that's what he's saying. People think that does that strike you as accurate Mel Gibson's? You know what? I know it's been a while. I know Mel, and I was actually, I had, he, he.

He asked me to host two showings of the Passion of the Christ at my house in Connecticut before it came out. He was concerned about the had the way the Jewish community in New York, the you know, the intelligentsia, the New York intelligentsia and media people were going to deal with the fact that there's been such enmity between Jews and Christians for centuries and centuries and centuries. Going back to what I talked about with break-tearing it down from one's for you guys, the Old Testament, and the other's for us. No, that just could not be more wrong. That's the biggest misconception in my mind after studying.

And again, I'm no biblical scholar, but I study the greatest, but I have a passion for it, and I put my life's work towards it now, you know, making sure that what I say is accurate. And so I don't just assume that it is. I make sure. Yeah, you get the most out of every day. And certainly you were talking about you had a chance to look at your trophy cases right before, and you noticed some of the pictures that you had, how much you've experienced in your life.

Yes.

Yes.

So, as you and knowing that so much still lies ahead, you're still driven, right? Oh my gosh, yes. But now I get to do what I people say to me all the time: How could you have given up your dream job when you left Regis once? Then you left your dream job when you were working with Hoda. And I said, You're just assuming it's my dream job.

Right. You know, my dream job when I was growing up, I wanted to be a Net Funicello. I wanted to be Haley Mills. I wanted to be in a Barbara Streisand. I wanted to be in the music industry and an actress and write stories.

So now, finally, I have my dream job. Right. I was uh played the clarinet up until seventh and eighth grade. I wanted to be in the music business. You wanted to be Benny Goodman?

I was asked to stop. It was terrible. I was asked not to sing. Yeah, were you? And I've had sixteen albums and made a living as a singer for my sister's voice teacher, Selma Gottlieb, certain things you never forget.

So she was a lovely lady, but my sister, who was a natural singer, great, just a beautiful colorator, soprano, and I I was an as you could tell, an alto. But so I I went to her teacher and sang a few scales and sang a song or something, and she looked at me very, very politely and put her hand on my hand and she said, Kathy. Stick to harmony, honey. Wow. And she did me a great favor.

So I remember because I got angry. Right. And then I said, I'm going to prove to her I can answer. Which is a great quality, which you kept your whole life.

Well, yeah. My sister lost her colon, the great singer lost her colon from stress in the same industry that fed my fantasies.

So I was. Oh, that's interesting.

So I remember I was do I was coming out of college, I wanted to do sports, and someone said, Send your tape to this guy.

So I sent my tape to this guy. I didn't get back to Mario, so I called him up. I got him on the phone. He goes, I remember your tape. It's really not very good.

He goes, If you really love sports, try coaching. Think about that. That was nice. That was encouraging. And did it do the same thing for you?

Got you. Yeah, I'll never forget it. I go, that's the most interesting thing. He's like, basically, you're terrible.

So thanks very much. No, you were just what they call green in our business. Thank you for spinning it positively. But you had the passion. I thought so.

That's just it. What do you love doing? My dad used to say to me, honey, find something you love to do and then figure out a way to get paid for it. And you've always reminded me of Regis because he did that too. He was told he had nothing going for him.

He started out, you know, and he worked in the radio station, I think, at Notre Dame. And he wanted to be one of those guys that was in the arena, you know. And he just got put down every time he turned around. But what he had was something nobody else had. The ability to be Regis.

Right. Be himself. Be yourself. Yeah.

God did not make a mistake with us, no matter what some people think. I think I told you this. My first, from my college radio station, I interviewed Regis, and it was still, it wasn't a national show yet. Oh, excuse me. It was just about the national show.

So the morning show. And I interviewed him. He greeted everybody as they left. Yeah.

And then he sat on the couch with me with my microphone. And he said, you know, my goal for the whole time was to get this network show. I had to get this network show up. But he goes, but this is what I really enjoy. I realize this is the type of show I want to do.

And things will take care of themselves. And obviously, he ends up with this syndicated show.

Well, that's when I joined him. Right. Well, we'd been together in the local show for three years before we did the syndicated. We were called the morning show in New York.

So there's a story out now. I guess Kelly Ripper's leaving. Yeah.

She's moving on. And she addressed, I think today, well, the New York Post picked it up today, about her relationship with Regis, who passed away at the age of 88, spending 10 years, ABC's Live together. I don't know, I know it was 10 years, but she replaced you when you walked away. She said the pair was plagued by persistent rumors that they secretly loathed one another. And in 2017, Philbin claimed he'd never been asked back on the program, hadn't spoken to Rippa since the exit.

Rippa did not dispute Philbin's claim at the time, something she now regrets. In an interview with Andy Cohen, she said Rippa alleged that she has been targeted and unfairly maligned due to her silence on that issue. What is do you know the reality there? Yes.

But you're not going to get me to talk about it. No. You know why? Because I loved Regis with all my heart, and he was one of the greatest friends I've ever had in my life. I we became even greater friends when I left the show.

I was with him for 15 years, and then uh he died 20 years later.

So 35 years, he was one of my dearest friends. And Uh I just feel very badly. The only thing I'll say is that I feel very badly for Joy and her daughters. How are they doing?

Well, they're they're they're This has just come out, so I don't know how I'll call it. I just found out about it, too. I heard about it last week, and I was hoping it was one of those things that wasn't true. Yeah, I know you have no problem answering. You're not going to answer something.

I'm not going to put you in a spot. No, because I don't want to get involved in something that'll just be, you know, ugly. The world makes things ugly. I'll just talk about the man that I knew was one of the greatest guys I've ever known. Right.

And I adored him. And that's all I'll say. Um, yes, she said I've I've I guess she wrote she said she wrote in the book, she wrote, I wish I had set the record straight at the time. I really trusted the people around me as a woman who are often we are often told to take the high road and that is woman speak, and that is woman speak to shut the blank up. No, the high road is the high road.

That's what I'm doing right now. Taking the high road. Yes.

It's a real thing. But I guess she is actually stepping aside, right? I don't know. You know, I never watched the show once after I left it. And you never went back to the next day.

And I never watched the Today Show since I left it. I never filled in or anything. Uh didn't fill in for for Kelly. Uh And no, I I went back, I think, t two thai two or three times. Um But but it was only to promote something.

I d I d I don't live in the past. I really believe people who live in the past are are doomed to die there. Right. You know, honestly, I'm a right now kind of girl. And what are we having for lunch?

Nobody knows more about TV than you. And think about how things have changed. When there was a late night show, the rivalry with Letterman and the rivalry with Leno, it made a movie. They did a movie about it. They did movies about it.

It was a best-selling book on it. That's fascinating to watch the ratings. Nobody cares now. I mean, Greg Gutfeld's got the highest ratings over the tonight show and Colbert report. That would be impossible.

People, I was thinking about that yesterday. Because I've known Greg forever. I go way, way, way back with him, and I absolutely adore the guy. You know, but would I have thought one day he's going to have he had that late show, the Red Eye thing. Yeah, but but but it was very, very, very different.

And uh, he's always had the talent. He just didn't, but but in the middle of the day. But you think about the landscape. The fact that the tonight shows because it stopped being funny. Just like Saturday Night Live stopped being funny.

It became just a political you know, I don't I get enough politics watching the news. I don't don't it it make me laugh. I love to laugh. James Corden is the closest. I do like James Corden.

Yeah, I've never met him, but I DVR, so I'll watch in the morning to see if there's anything I could use on a show like this. And he's the only one worth taping. You know, he's an entertainer. The man, did you ever see him on Broadway? No, just won a Tony Award on Broadway.

He's brilliant. He's an entertainer. I'm an entertainer. Regis was an entertainer. That's why I never said I was a journalist.

Back then, I had too much respect for real journalism. You know, there are very few in the world today that I mean, I get a lot of opinions, but I don't know that I'm getting the facts. Journalism is not what it used to be. That doesn't mean there aren't great people still in it. There are.

But you got to really search. Right. And hopefully you land in the right place.

Well, I'm talking to you, Cookie. And Cookie is my nickname.

So that's so unusual.

So listen, we come back. We have a few more minutes with Kathy Lee, who's kind enough to come in the radio. This is mandatory.

Now, anytime you come in the building, you have to do the radio. You always get me in trouble. That's true. But you didn't get in trouble this time, back in a moment. Educating, entertaining, enlightening.

You're with Brian Kilmead. He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Killmeid. This issue around The gender binary. has taken up way too much space.

in the public conversation. I think that people are weary of it. I think that people having to put the she's and the this and that and the pronouns on their their Zoom. All of that stuff starts to send a signal, I think, to working class voters. that these people are not concerned about the things that affect me every day.

They're not concerned about inflation. They're not concerned about, which is not to say you can't be care about everybody, but there's something that's out of balance. And so I think that when we start sending the cultural signal, that were more concerned about the the pronoun you put on your Zoom call. then we are concerned about the fact that you don't have a house or a job, I think the party's off track. And that is Van Jones, obviously key aide to President Obama.

Nobody thinks that he's a right-wing zealot, but he's saying what many logical people are saying, like Bill Maher, who will vote for any Democrat, Kathy Lee Gifford, and that is: what are you talking about? Second graders should not be told you can pick your gender. You should not be learning about sexual relations in these times. You can't be talking about binary, non-binary, and all these things that are going on. People don't even know where this came from when 60% of the country lives paycheck to paycheck.

Well, we've lost perspective completely on what is important to people. And I don't care if you're a Republican or anything. People care about their children, and they care about what their children are learning, and they care about feeding them nutritious food, and they care about being able to get to a job they're grateful to have, and they can't even afford to get to the job because of the price of gas. And I think you're just foolish on either side of the aisle for thinking that something that polls all the way down at the bottom is the least interesting, I mean, or the least important to people. Concentrate.

If you want to get people's votes, concentrate on those top three and give them real solutions to them, whether you're a Republican or Democrat on either side. That would be the smart thing to do. Right. If you actually try to solve people's problems, we used to debate different ways to solve problems.

Now we can't identify the problem. No, because you've already been labeled a racist or a bigot or something before you even begin to discuss. Kathy Lee, thanks so much. It's always fun.

Sorry. I'm in trouble again. Love you. From high atop. Fox News headquarters in New York City.

Always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmead. Yes, and that was Call Rove at the end, bringing me back down to earth. I was enjoying my life, my self-esteem was high, and suddenly I crashed. Hi, everyone, from 48th and 6th in Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, around the world.

Thanks so much for listening to the Brian Killmeat Show. Dan Hoffman at the bottom of the hour, former CIA station chief in Moscow, Iraq, Pakistan, South Asia, and Europe. I want to focus on Vladimir Putin. If anyone knows him, can figure him out. It's the former CIA guy who used to work there.

And we're lucky to have, if you're watching Fox Nation, you recognize a former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, former South Carolina governor, author of a brand new book, If You Want Something Done, Leadership Lessons from Bold Women. Nikki Haley's here. Welcome back, Governor. Thanks.

It's honestly. Great to see you. Those are moments in time.

Well, we'll see. And, Nikki, I guess, and the. The view doubts that that's your real name. You know, I mean, it's so ridiculous when they have nothing else. And they this is not the first or last time they've beat me up on something.

But when you go and you pick on something like your name and you don't do your homework, it means we're winning, right? How did you find out about it? All of a sudden my phone started blowing up and everybody started texting and then my office contacted me. But you know, it's amazing anybody still watches that show, but they can't stand, the liberals can't stand a minority conservative female not being a Democrat. They just can't because we totally ruin their narrative.

You know, they say that they're the party of minorities. They say they're the party of women. No, they're not. Because, you know, when you say you're the party of minorities, then why is it that you think that minorities are incapable of going to the DMV to get an ID so that they can vote? If you say you're for minorities, why is it that you say that parents, minority parents can't decide which school their kids should go to?

You know, if you say you're for women, then why is it that you say how women should think and feel and you don't let them have their own individual opinions?

So, you know, no, they're not the party of minority or women. And I think what we show as conservatives is Republicans have solutions that lift up everybody, not one segment of the population. I understand that. Growing up in South Carolina, It's mostly Republicans these days, right? But if you think back to the civil rights and everything, it was mostly Democrats.

And it was conservative Democrats for a long time. How did it switch? People point out to, you know, Republic obviously Lincoln was a Republican. And now if you're a Republican, you only like white people. That's where they want to label it.

What switched it? Do you remember the time in which the Democrats were mostly the segregationists of this country and the pushback was against them? And now it looks like they're the tolerant group? You know, I think the Democrats left a lot of people because when you had conservative Democrats, you know, they weren't as extreme as they are now. And, you know, so people feel like they've left family values.

They feel like they've left freedoms. They feel like they've gone into more government control and they've been the party of high taxes. And I think that's when you saw a lot of conservative Democrats become Republicans. And then, you know, I'll tell you from my parents, and I say this to the Republican Party, is they were Democrats until Reagan, not because they were actually Democrats, but because Republicans wouldn't talk to them. And so that's why it's so important that Republicans continue to go and talk to groups that don't look and act like you're traditional Republicans.

No, you're going to be really sick of me by the end of the day because we're doing outnumbered together. We're going to have so much fun. Yeah, so do we have two segments here? We have two segments?

Okay, good. Because we'll talk about you book next. I do want to talk about who I talked to today, and that's Herschel Walker. As you know, the Daily Beast has this story on Sunday that says that he paid for a woman's abortion in 2009, but she did not give her name. And their second source was the woman's friend, which is odd.

And they came out with a receipt that says this was the card he sent with the check in it. We haven't seen the check. Herschel Walker says, I don't know who this is, what you're talking about. I never did it. And then his son came out and said this: cut 14.

I was signing lie after lie after lie. The abortion card drops yesterday. It's literally his handwriting in the card. They say they have receipts, whatever. He gets on Twitter.

He lies about it.

Okay, I'm done. Done. Everything has been a lie. So he went on to basically answer that when I played that for him on Fox and Friends Cut 12. I love my son unconditionally, and that's the way I've always been.

I always love him unconditionally. You know, he graduated college a couple of months ago. He's now a young man doing his own thing, but his father is always there for him, always will be for any of my kids. And I love him. I always support them.

And I always have supported them, and I always will, and I love him unconditionally.

So That's basically how he answered and when I asked him if it's true or not, cut thirteen. He's doing tremendous damage to you by coming out with those statements. Do you know why he's saying this?

Well, the damage he's doing is letting people know that the left will do whatever they can. The wind is seat. And I told you when I got in this race, I'm going to win this seat. People see someone sitting here in front of you right now that's been redeemed. And I want America to know I'm living proof that you can make mistakes and get up and keep going forward, but you can only do it in this country right here.

And you can only do it if we get this election correct this come November. Because we vote for the people on the left, like the guy running against Senator Walnot, you're not going to have a chance to be redeemed. He's a minister and he don't believe in redemption. Right now, they're trying to destroy America. They're trying to destroy Georgia.

And I'm not going to let them happen. It ain't going to happen on my watch.

So you can't get into politics and not expect to have a crisis. This is one of them. How is he doing? You know, I mean, I think, first of all, politics. You were just with him, right?

Yeah.

I I think it's been about a month ago I was campaigning with them and you know I actually had the conversation that you know they're going to throw the kitchen sink at you. And you know, I think this is the kitchen sink. The hard part is, politics is a blood sport. And when it goes and involves your family, it really cuts deep because we don't know the background of him and his son. We don't know the background of him and his woman.

My advice to him would be tell the truth, whatever it is, tell the truth. People are very forgiving. But I'll also say You look at Warnock, and here's a guy that has no problem with open borders and wanting people to come through illegally. He just doesn't want them in his state. You know, he's for, he's been for defund the police.

You know, he hasn't wanted transparency for parents. And he is about as liberal as it gets. There are no perfect candidates. Herschel is not a perfect candidate. There are no perfect politicians.

We know that. What we do want from our politicians is. And if they're so perfect, you wonder what else they're hiding. That's exactly right. What we do want is everybody's flawed.

Just tell us the truth and tell the people of Georgia what you believe in. And I will tell you, the people of Georgia really love him, flawed and all. They really love him because they feel like he's genuine and honest with them. Right. And I've seen it out there.

For some reason, he has not been able to get the black vote. Yet his story is rural America growing up in a time in which it was not easy. And even his area will mostly go to Warnock, not him. I guess when you're a reverend in the black community, that certainly gives you. You an upside, but you know Georgia.

Well, and I'll tell you, keep in mind, it's not that he can't get the black vote. Republicans really need to look at expanding the tent. The only reason we don't get the black vote is because we don't have Republicans going and talking to them. Because when you ask them what they care about, they all care about their kids' education. They all care about family values.

They all want their kids to have a better life than they did. They all want safe streets.

So, you know, that just means we've got to do a better job helping candidates like Herschel and Dr. Oz and all those others go out and show people that we're the party of solutions for everyone.

So if you ask the Democrats who their upcoming stories were, almost every Democrat would say Stacey Abrams. But in almost every poll, the length between her and Kemp grows, it's about eight now. She says because mostly they only sample white people. I've never heard that before, but it's interesting.

Now she also wants to rewrite history and say she never denied the election results. Listen to her try to take this issue on Cut 17. Is there any scenario under which you would concede that you lost public? In 2018, on the day I made that speech, if you played the beginning of the speech, I acknowledged that I was not the governor, that Brian Kemp won the election. What I said is that the process denied access to too many voters.

And that was proven by more than 3,000 voters who made their voices heard by trial and a process that was the first full-length trial held on voting rights in more than a decade in the state of Georgia. I have never denied the outcome. The problem is we've been taping her denials. Cut 18. This is not a speech of concession.

It was not a free and fair election. The game was rigged against the voters of Georgia. And I do have one very affirmative statement to make. We won. If it looks like it's rigged, it probably is.

But I didn't lose. I got the votes.

So, I mean, does she expect us not to know this and play this? It's amazing to me. Democrats think that if they tell you something, you'll believe them. They really play everybody for fools. And first of all, for her to say that only white people answer polls, that's racist.

You have to call her out. That is a racist comment, and she shouldn't get away with that. Secondly, it's so hypocritical that she's now saying she never said that. We know she said it, but let's get to the point. I was campaigning for Brian Kemp about a month ago.

He is savage, savage. He's been a great governor, first governor in the country to open up his state, first governor in the country to make sure his schools were open. He made sure that he, even when they threw everything at him, he stood strong and fought for the people of Georgia. And you can see it in the polls. Nikki Haley's here.

Her book is now out if you want something done and basically give it to a woman. And the book's out now. It features some prominent women that I think will inspire you, yourself, and maybe your daughters if you have them or your sister, no matter what the course might be. Or anybody in America. But Nikki, in particular, we're looking at issues now that driving this country are no longer really abortion.

It's very June. Dot saying it's not important, but it seems to be crime, it seems to be inflation, it seems to be the economy. And now, thanks to Abbott and DeSantis, the border. You know, I mean, first of all, I've traveled all over the country. We've been to a dozen states, I think, recently, and they're all saying the same things.

The economy is going up. If you look at what OPEC did today, get ready, your gas prices are about to go up even higher. You've got 60% of people in credit card debt now, 30% are dipping into their savings. People are feeling a world of hurt, but the border and crime are a huge issue across this country. They want to know that their child can ride their bike down the street and not have to worry.

They want to know they're not going to get carjacked. They want to know that all these illegal immigrants, we know who they are and we know where they are. And we don't. You can't say that. And you got to give credit to Abbott when he initially said our state can't hold it anymore.

So y'all take it. And now the hypocrisy, again, of them saying, oh, wait. You know, that's so abusive that you're sending them to our state.

Well, was it not abusive when you sent them to Texas? That's crazy. No, and I think these governors are doing exactly the right thing. But instead of blaming DeSantis and Abbott, what they need to be doing is blaming Biden. At what point are you going to say to Biden?

At what point does every one of those Democrat governors say to Biden, hey, wait, can you do something about this? Because the answer is close the border. DeSantis and Biden will be together, president, governor. And they've been harsh critics of each other. What do you think it'll be like?

Did you ever have that when you were governor dealing with President Obama? Were you governor at that time? Yes.

So it's actually interesting because there were two different times that I had to deal with President Obama. One was we had Hurricane Matthew. It hit South Carolina very hard, and we needed them, and he came, but with the church shooting. He came. And look, I met him.

He nailed it. He was beautiful. He was great at this. It was his best moment. And so it was great for you, too.

That was sincere for you. Look, we all needed to come together. You know, the people of South Carolina were hurting, and there were no Republicans or Democrats at that point. It was we had to support those nine families.

So I met him at the plane. I welcomed him into my state, and there was not an issue of party. And so what I hope and what I think DeSantis is going to do is, look, he needs Biden to help make sure his people get back on their feet. And I'll tell you one thing that nobody talks about with a hurricane. You know, all of this while it's on TV, it looks real pretty.

But when it goes off TV, FEMA is not your saving grace. FEMA is bureaucratic, it's slow, and a lot of families are going to be hurting. And what Governor DeSantis is going to do, and he knows this, and every other Florida governor or governor of a hurricane state knows, is you've got to really go and build these people back up because there's nothing worse than rain and mold and all that sets in, and they lose their houses and they don't have insurance. It gets tough. In the beginning, it's adrenaline, and then it becomes very depressed.

People get depressed, and when things move slow, they look to blame.

So these governors get judged what happens weeks after, not hours after. The key is not what happens when the hurricane hits. The key is what happens two, three months after that.

So Nikki Haley is going to be here for Outnumbered. But when we come back, we're going to talk about a few of the women in your book. And we have a few more minutes after that because MSNBC was laughing at Fox for something that may surprise you. Don't move. Diving deep into today's top stories, it's Brian Kilmead.

Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. All right, so if you want something done, leadership lessons from bold women, from bold women is now out. It's put together and written by Nikki Haley, former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.

and former South Carolina governor, who's going to be here for a few more minutes. Out of all the women that stood out, the one that probably most people know is Golda Maiyear. Extraordinary every way. Can you set the scene when she emerged with this brand new nation? You know, it's amazing if you look at the story of Golda because she was, you know, born from a poor family, you know, struggled all the way through, but she became such a problem solver.

Like her parents just wanted her to go off and get married and not do anything. But when she saw what happened with the Holocaust, she very much believed that the Jewish people had to find a place that they were safe and they couldn't. Ever depend on anyone else again.

So she went and was one of the founders of Israel. But then, even when they were having war, she went and raised money so that they had the military strength to fight back. She never saw a problem she couldn't solve, and she did it with her heart all the way until the end. An amazing woman. And I remember this staunch conservative that most conservatives really worship is Jean Kirkpatrick.

She had your old job. She did. And, you know, that's one of the reasons I was. The first woman to have a job. Yes.

And she, what I loved about Jean Kirkpatrick was: one, she was an academic. She wasn't a politician. She actually would say she wasn't a personally tough person, but you'd never know it if you heard a speech at the UN or how she handled it. But she was the one that blamed Democrats for always blaming America first. And when she went to the Republican National Convention, she was a Democrat.

She switched parties because she couldn't stand the anti-American stance that Democrats continued to have. She thought they needed to love America. She thought. They needed to defend America, and she thought they needed to quit blaming America for all their problems. Right, and that's still happening today to the 10th power.

Oh, it's why it's so amazing. It's that what she was saying about Democrats then continues to be, it's like they haven't learned the lesson. I want you to hear this because most likely you weren't watching this channel, but we know fentanyl is a problem in this country, right? We know where it comes from-the border and manufactured by China. Listen to this: the drug dealers would be giving away not drug dealers, the illegals that are here.

Yeah, they just crossed because Biden has our border wide open.

Okay, so the illegals that have have houses that then the kids are coming to knock on the illegals' houses doors that and they're drug dealers that are giving the uh the children their drugs. Look at Fox News. All you gotta do is watch an episode of Fox News. And Fox News will tell you that the. It's coming across our borders, it's going into our playground.

They're gonna be giving it away during Halloween. Yes.

I just loved Rom. You're like, okay, I just got to figure out what it is you're actually telling me here. And just the point that there is this belief that drug dealers are, who knew, so giving. Right? Just giving away drugs for free.

So, the fact that it looks like Skittles or nerds or candy has everyone worried. They think it's hysterical. It's not funny. It's not funny. You ask any state, they're all dealing with deaths from fentanyl.

I mean, we had enough fentanyl cross the border that would kill every single American in July. And don't think for a second China doesn't know what they're doing. We are not over-exaggerating this. They know what they're doing that it's crossing the border. They know these cartels are getting it across there.

And this is not, you know, this is not an issue of kids who are druggies. These are kids who might just like take an Adderall. These are kids that might concentrate in the state.

So when it's pink or blue or green, you go back and you say, okay, what if a seven-year-old sees this? Then what's going to happen? It's not funny. I didn't think so. I know it's also not funny, but a great book is your book.

It's called If You Want Something Done. Nikki Haley, thanks so much. I will see you in 90 minutes.

Sounds great. Look forward to it. All right, when we come back, Dan Hoffman: is Vladimir Putin numbered? From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmead. We don't know.

I think it's unlikely, but possible. And I think the more that the Ukrainians continue to seize ground in the east and in the south, I think the more desperate Putin becomes. I mean, look, this has been a strategic failure in multiple ways since it began in February. And now, finally, the Russian people are speaking up. You have protests going on throughout the country.

Hundreds of thousands of Russians have left. Russia to avoid this draft. I think Putin continues to paint himself in a corner. Without any and limiting his options to get out of this mess he's created. That is Mark Esper, former Secretary of Defense and Secretary of the Army.

Daniel Hoffman joins us now, former CIA station chief, talking about things on the ground. The reality is the Ukrainians are picking up a massive amount of land, and now they're focusing on Kherson because the Russians don't seem in many respects being able to stop the onslaught. Dan, welcome back. What do you think? I think we've come a long way from the day that the Biden administration offered President Zelensky a flight out of Ukraine, you know, when the invasion occurred February 24th.

That was our answer. And Zelensky said, I don't need a flight out. I need ammunition. The fight is here. That's it.

And Ukraine has taken the fight to the enemy. We've seen a blistering counteroffensive through Kharkiv, Lehman, a major city with the logistical hub and a gateway to Donbas. They captured that. Kherson is a real test. And the thing that I'm looking for right now is: can Ukraine dial it up before the fighting season, which is kind of drawing short now?

Once the winter sets in, it gets much more difficult for Ukraine to move and liberate more territory. We could be looking at a kind of a stalemate there during the winter, depending upon how severe the conditions become. Right, but didn't they invade in February? And didn't they leave the troops there in the dead of winter just to sit in their tanks and wait for the orders? Yeah, so that probably didn't make a whole lot of sense to you and me.

And I'm wondering about those guys in that convoy thinking just the same thing as they were getting picked off by Ukrainian forces. Secretary Esper is 100% right. This has been a massive strategic failure for Vladimir Putin, and he's desperate. That's why he's mobilized Russian forces for the first time since the Second World War. It's why he's illegally annexing more territory.

But that's a Potemkin village. They don't even own the territory. They don't occupy it to annex it. And of course, he's making nuclear threats because the Biden administration parrots back with fears of World War III, which is exactly what Putin wants. Deter us from giving Ukraine what they need to take the fight to the finish.

So, I'll tell you what the ISW, the International Study of War, says: Russia's failures around Lyman has galvanized strong and direct criticism of the commander there. His commander is Alexander Lapin, who supposedly commanded the Lyman group that got routed. Originated from this Silkovic group, spearheaded by Chechnyan strongman Roman Kudroz and the Wagner Group financier.

So they together are critical of the standing Russian army. What does that tell you? Because both those groups can fight. Wagner Group and the Chechnyans, they know how to fight. You say nobody else knows how to command or fight.

Am I right? Yeah, they're not doing too well either. That this is Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of you know, the leader of Chechnya, and Yevgeny Prigorjin, who is the leader of the Wagner group. And they've sent their guys to go get slaughtered in Ukraine as well. These are the ultra-nationalist hawks in Russia who represent the greatest threat to Vladimir Putin's regime security, because they're saying, Hey, you told us this is a special military operation.

You would topple the Zelensky government in a matter of days. And what are we doing in the eighth month? Losing. And so they're looking for scapegoats. And the question for Vladimir Putin is what happens with his inner circles?

Are they going to be nervous that the Defense Minister Shoygu might be removed or the head of the FSB, Bortnikov, or the National Security Advisor, Patrushev? And if they see themselves being targeted by Putin, do they aim their sights on Putin first? This is extraordinarily destabilizing for a country with enough nuclear weapons to wipe us all off the planet. And that's where the Biden administration has got to mount a really effective public narrative. and then back channel discussions with with senior Russian officials.

You really think they're there There's a chance they're going to use tactical nukes when it's never been done before. And studies show for civilians like me that every time they game they war game it out. It ends up blowing back in their face and they become victims of their own attack. Here's Mark Esper cut 30. I think anywhere between one to ten kilotons.

You're right, Hiroshima. was 15 kilotons, killed 70,000 people, destroyed five square miles of territory around the city. And I think the way he would deliver it, most likely in these cases, is through a gravity bomb delivered by an aircraft or some type of Iskander cruise missile. I would argue the thing for the administration to do is to bring the Allies together now, talk about back channeling to Moscow, but publicly say, look, if we see some type of strategic indication that you're pulling tactical nuclear weapons out of the storage areas, we're going to put an air cap up above Ukraine and we're going to shoot down anything that comes toward Ukraine that might be carrying a nuclear weapon. There are things like that we can do to prevent this, to kind of calm this down and keep.

Putin contained. Your thoughts? Listen, I served in Russia for five years, and I'm going to tell you, in spite of the five years I served there, I speak like near native Russian. I never ceased to be amazed at how much worse things could be than we imagined.

So I got three concerns about Russia's nuclear weapons. One, that they might use tactical nuclear weapons. Doesn't make a lot of sense. Ukrainian forces are dispersed. It would literally blow back on Russian civilians and their forces.

But Hey, look, we can stop applying the rational actor model to Vladimir Putin. He has not been rational, at least when it comes to. from the way we would look at things. It's maybe rational for him, but not in a in a larger sense. The second concern, proliferation, where the Russians might, you know, somebody might get a hold of these weapons, the Russians might provide them to someone, you know, potentially.

That could use them, and that's of concern. And the third one is a loose nuke scenario where the Russians, the government, simply doesn't have control over their nuclear arsenal. And those are three things that are always of concern. It's the same thing for North Korea. And I'm telling you, it'd be the same thing for Iran.

God forbid we allow Iran to have a nuclear capability. That's some we ought to be thinking about that right now as we deal with Russia because that revolutionary regime with a nuclear capability would be extraordinarily an extraordinary threat to the United States. And I don't see a Biden administration plan to stop that from happening. Not to digress too much, but that's a concern as well.

So Look, these are all grave concerns, and I'll just highlight this. It really hinges on our intelligence community to collect the intelligence on Russia's plans and intentions, how their military is going to react. It's not as simple as Putin pressing a button. There's a chain of command, and how those guys react in the event they were given an order to move nuclear weapons, tactical ones or strategic ones, and then even use a tactical nuclear weapon. Those are things we've got to collect on.

And again, we've got to back channel message the Russians in private not to do this or else they will face Significant reaction from us. And I agree with Secretary Esper. Those are good things to be thinking about. I know you live in the intelligence realm, and you got to think of worst case scenario. But right now, the reality on the ground is that everything Vladimir Putin's done has been wrong.

And now that trying to mobilize 300,000 people has caused massive protests and exits in a way in which I never thought I'd see in my lifetime. And they're trying to avoid drafting certain families and trying to other ones, and the other ones are just leaving.

So if he's losing on the battlefield, if he can't mount a 300,000 man additional force, how much longer is his inner circle going to tolerate such idiotic behavior. Right. That's the key. Vladimir Putin is more desperate right now than he's ever been. His regime security is more tenuous today than it's ever been.

And that, I would argue, makes him more dangerous than he's ever been to the region. To the world, to the United States. And so this is going to require the Biden administration to paraphrase. Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, please don't go wobbly on this one. This administration needs to show message discipline when they're speaking publicly.

Stop mentioning World War III as if we're going to be deterred from giving Ukraine the artillery with the range they need. We're still not doing that, and we need to. The way this ends is for Ukraine to end it. And the Russians have killed too many Ukrainian civilians, bombed too many hospitals, maternity wards, schools. Ukraine's not going to stop until they finish the job, and we should help them do it.

All right, I want to give you an idea of what the tactics would be. Should they threaten or should they actually do nukes? And number two is some of the growing opposition to us giving them all the money we're giving them. First, David Petraeus. It can still get worse for Putin and for Russia.

And even the use of tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield won't change this at all. Jake Sullivan has publicly stated that the U.S. has communicated to Russia what would happen in response to that. And what would happen?

Well, again, I have deliberately not talked to Jake about this. I mean, just to give you a hypothetical, we would respond by leading a NATO, a collective effort, that would take out every Russian conventional force that we can see and identify on the battlefield in Ukraine and also in Crimea and every ship in the Black Sea fleet. How do you feel about? I mean, we could. NATO could blow up everything they have, kill every one of their soldiers in theater.

The ones that don't have uniforms probably don't fight anyway. Yes.

So I let me preface this by saying that I work for David Petraeus At CIA, I've served with him in Iraq. He's a friend and somebody I believe is spot on with his national security analysis. He's been through a lot of contingency planning in his life when it comes to intelligence and military. And what he's talking about is wargaming. And I would not be the least bit surprised if this is exactly what we have wargamed to prepare ourselves in the event of this sort of scenario.

It's never been beyond the realm of possibility that Russia would use a tactical nuclear weapon on European soil. And I think we've probably wargamed how we would respond. And I think we've probably told the Russians. Not just now, but years and years ago as well. Like, this is what will happen if you ever think of doing this.

Uh so I I I think uh My estimation at least is that David Petraeus is spot on, as usual. And my sense is he doesn't want to know everything, but he probably. Uh consulted. With the current administration to a degree, because he goes out of his way not to be political and not to insult anyone outside Trump. I think he's got trouble dealing with Trump, but.

Yes, I think what he he's he probably never talked to the administration about this, but it's again based on his historical knowledge. of war gaming in the past, and I'm not so sure that the tactics or the strategy have changed much at all over the past decade in terms of what we would consider doing if Russia used A tactical nuclear weapon. And in many ways, it's no different than if Russia were to attack a NATO member like Estonia or Latvia. What would we do then?

Well, we'd respond militarily. We would attack and we would destroy Russia's forces, invading forces. Yeah, there's worry that they're going to hit Poland because that seems to be where the supplies are coming out of. Here's Congressman Chris Stewart of Utah, Republican, Cut 27. But at some point, once the battle begins to settle, You have to ask yourself, okay, what is our goal in Ukraine?

Is it what President Zelensky says, and that's when he says we're going to expel every Russian from Crimea, for example?

Well, I think for many of us, we recognize that as an incredibly dangerous precedent or suggestion that we might do that. And I think it's probably something the American people wouldn't support.

So is that something I think that military people and intelligence people like you have to think about? How would Putin react? How about the American people that are experiencing some economic strife right now and wonder where the six hundred twenty seven billion dollars million dollars is going and where the fifteen billion is?

So those are a bunch of different issues that are important. First of all, we do need that's why I've always said we need people on the ground at Ukraine, embassy people to track how the money is being spent. Uh, that's obviously really important because that's our treasure and we're spending it in Ukraine. But let's make it clear. We are the arsenal for democracy.

We could appease Vladimir Putin and let him keep some of his ill-gotten gain. Let's remember that he illegally annexed Crimea and attacked the Donbas back in 2014.

So no, they don't get to keep that. I'm sorry, I don't agree with our elected representative from Utah. I'd have a respectful debate with him on that subject. But I think the American people need to understand that we're standing up for liberty, freedom, and democracy. And if you don't like Vladimir Putin and what he's doing to the world economically, blackmailing us, well, then he needs to be you know, he needs to be stopped.

And if we don't stop him here, it's only going to get worse. Just look back at what happened in the Second World War. Prime Minister Churchill had a great quote about that, where each nation thought that the crocodile would be finished eating after they lopped off a piece of Czechoslovakia or Poland or whatever else. No, the crocodile is not done. And so we have to finish with Vladimir Putin first.

And I I'll tell you, Brian, I've said these things, I've had these discussions, just offering my opinion when aft. To senior folks in the administration, too. And they weren't telling me what they were doing, but I just said: look, I don't think there's any negotiating with Vladimir Putin, he's battling down the road. Trying to destroy everything he can, and there's no off-ramp for him. And that's going to be the challenge because.

If he loses his ruthless grip on the regime in the Kremlin, the transition of power could be very, very disruptive and destabilizing. And the guy who replaces him could be one of those ultra nationalist hawks who could be even more dangerous.

So we kind of need to draw a line here. And a nuclear power doesn't just get to go annex territory illegally. Like that's got ramifications for China and Taiwan. And other places around the world.

So I'm sorry, I wouldn't let Russia keep Donbas or Crimea. I'm with you, Dan. I know it's not easy, but I just think people have to. The American people need to explain this. It's not just, hey, the Ukrainians are great people.

Explain it. I mean, if I if I as a citizen, I would love for you know, President Reagan had a way of grabbing the bull standing behind the bully pulpit there and explaining to the American people what we were doing and why. I'll never forget when we bombed Libya. And he gave that great address on television and explained why we were doing it. And We're not seeing that right now, and this is a time for President Biden to message our citizens, but also the rest of the world and Russia.

This is The most dangerous time in our history since the Cuban Missile Crisis, 60 years ago, almost exactly. And we'd kind of like to see the President get up and deliver the right kind of speech right now. Dan Hoffman, always educational and informational. Dan Hoffman, thanks so much. It's one of these times in which so much of this is unprecedented.

Not many people thought eight months ago that Putin would be in such dire straits right now, but the Ukrainians have surpassed everything. Just let them finish the job. Dan Hoffman, thank you.

Okay, thanks. 1866-408-7669. I'll take your calls when we come back. A lot to discuss. You'll listen to the Brian Kilmeat Show.

Coming to you on a need-to-know basis because Mandy, you need to know. It's Brian Kilmead. A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. High-wide ball.

Deep light. There it goes.

So it into history. He's done it. He has done it. 62. Aaron Judge is the American League single season home run leader.

BAL King. Case closed. That is Michael Kay's call on Aaron Judge's kind of a home run drought. He's hit one, I think, over the last 10 days, and then he finally got number 62 yesterday. And I just think it's really hard not to like this guy.

I mean, there's so many people who either love the Yankees or hate the Yankees. And I said during the Yankees' run in 96, it's hard to hate these guys. They came up through the minor leagues. They weren't a ball team. They're not a group of all-stars.

They're self-made stars. And now you have this era coming up who are always in contention but haven't won it all. Maybe this is the year, and maybe Judge goes out and wins the Triple Crown. I don't know. But what I find unique about this, Mantle was pushing Roger Maris.

I think he ended up with 56 homers. Maris ends up with a new record, beats Babe Ruth at 61.

So tense, his hair was falling out, prime of his life. Never really repeated. He got an injury to his forearm, I thought. And even when he went to the Cardinals, never repeated close to this type of success. Mantle went on to do more, I think, over 500 home runs.

But that would be it. And then you had these guys bust the record, like Maguire, he admitted he cheated. Sammy Sosa, we all know he cheated. And we all know that Barry Bonds cheated, although he never admitted it. But he's not in the Hall of Fame for a reason.

This should be the single-season home run record. Even though Aaron Judge says, No, I grew up on the West Coast worshiping Barry Bonds, that's the record holder. We know. He's not. And that's baseball's problem.

They hope things just go away. Pete Rose will just go away. The home run king, not in the World Series, 700. And uh 750 and guaranteed. Yep.

From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show. Brian Killmead. Thanks so much for being here, everybody. It's the Brian Kilmeet Show. 1866-408-7669.

Rich Lowry is going to be here shortly. And then we'll have a replay of my interview with Herschel Walker. First one since his son came out, kind of blowing him up as a dad. And I guess as a person, I just can't believe he would do it at this time. If whatever you have is a problem, it's amazing how he's kept it quiet this time.

But you'll hear that. And we have a lot to discuss today. We know the Governor DeSantis is going to be welcoming the President of the United States into the Fort Myers area, most heavily hit by that hurricane last week.

So these are two harsh critics of each other. Shoulder to shoulder, we'll see how that goes.

So let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three, sponsored by Crunch Fitness. Interested in owning your own business in a growing $30 billion industry? Check out CrunchFitness at Crunch.com. Number three. And I think the more that Ukrainians continue to seize ground in the east and in the south, I think the more desperate Putin becomes.

I mean, look, this has been a strategic failure in multiple ways since it began in February. Uh yeah, it has been. Mark Sper former Secretary of Defense. No one predicted this, but right now Putin's time to panic. His army is being routed.

Reserves are called up. Hundreds of thousands left the country. He's well, it's a huge brain drain. Let's not get wobbly, Joe. Let Zelensky finish the job and give him the weapons he needs.

Number two. It's sort of like everyone is anonymous, or everyone is leaking, and they want you to confess to something you have no clue about, but it just shows how desperate they are right now. Race by race. They energize me. Race by race from Herschel to Fetterman to Abrams.

We look at the breaking news around the races that matter most in emerging issues, pushing both parties to act. Like, for example, we just heard a huge OPEC production cut, 2,000 barrels a day. Amazing. Number one. I can't find another story in the history of our country that has been actually so suppressed.

Suppressed actually is in a complete blackout. There has not been one. Credible interview on refuting anything I've said. That is Tony Bobolinski speaking up with much more detail.

Now, now it's pretty clear he was being defrauded along with the rest of the country by the Biden family. He blows up Biden in a detailed way that lays out the challenges to all media and a negligent FBI to once and for all do their job in an hour-long interview. First 30 minutes, no commercials with Tucker Carlson. Rich Lowry is with us now, editor of National Review. Rich, I was pretty impressed with Bobolinski the first time around, even more now.

The guy is an extremely bright intelligence officer, backed up everything he said, and now he realizes he was being defrauded by the Bidens. Yeah, this obviously everyone would know his name if this were reversed and a Republican were in office and this allegation was being made against the Republican presidents. uh son and family in in general. And this has always been the the the potential dynamite under Biden's presidency. We know he lied when he said that he didn't know anything about Hunter's dealings.

I mean, that's been uh uh established up and down and all the circumstantial evidence points to that being false. The key thing is was he benefiting financially, right? And this is where Bobolinski has potentially explosive information and there might be more out there.

So I have friends, you know, usually I'm not of a conspiratorial point of view, but I have friends who say, you know what, if the powers that be, you know, the media decide that Biden needs to go and they don't want him to run in 2024, this would be the guarantee. Just, you know, the New York Times finally pays more attention to this than they have already and runs a 5,000-word article making the case that Joe Biden was benefiting. And that would be the end of him. But it's an explosive story. My hats off to the New York Post especially and you guys who have just been relentless on it and kept it in people's attention.

Here is Tony Bobolinski last night, cut one. I was disappointed. Angry um Because as you said, you spent, you know, the time I've served this country, my family, my credibility as a businessman. And I can't find another story in the history of our country that has been actually so suppressed. Suppressed actually is a complete blackout.

So I was angry when I watched this play out, especially when five weeks later, the DOJ announces that they're formally investigating Hunter Biden and the Biden family, and they make that public. It was five weeks too late, and the American people deserve those facts before the election. And why wouldn't you want to interview Tony Bobolinski for that grand jury? Why wouldn't the president ever be asked, do you know Tony Bobolinski? They've met many times face to face.

Why wouldn't that be an FBI follow-up since that moment? Do you know whose card he got to follow up on? It was Tim Teebold, the now retired FBI agent who they blew the whistle on.

So he was in charge of Bobolinski. He could not believe that this guy got a And he pointed out that he got elected by, I think, twenty five hundred votes. If you look at all these fifty states and look at Arizona, Wisconsin and Georgia. Do you think that it is plausible that those people might have flipped who they voted for had they known for certain that, that laptop was real and Bob Bolinsky was to be taken serious? I think it's hard in a national election when there's so much information and people are making their decisions based on so much and sort of have, you know, Really deep-seated beliefs and attitudes towards the candidates that to say one thing would have made a difference, but it certainly was profoundly.

Wrong to suppress this story. And it's something that Republicans, I mean, there are two things they need to investigate when and if they take the House. And it still seems a lot like they're going to take the House. One is Anthony Fauci and the funding for that virus research and what happened in the Wuhan Lab and Peter Dazzick and how he tried to suppress. People pointing to the lab and why he's still getting money.

I mean, that needs to be a huge focus. And then this. You know, why did these former intelligence agents and officials write a letter that, if you actually read it closely, it doesn't say it was Russian disinformation, but is meant to. To lead everyone to believe it was Russian disinformation, including the press, who took it hook, line, and sinker very willingly. And what's, you know, get Bobolinski up there, what's the deal with these various business dealings that Hunter had, and what was Joe Biden's involvement.

That's another big tranche.

So these are two huge things they need to dig into. And also, part of their financing with CEFC, which is an energy company affiliated directly with the Chinese government, they were going to invest in the Belt and Road program, which was created to reduce our influence around the world. And yet he had no problem as a former vice president investing in it. Are you insane? Here's more from Bobolinsky.

I want you to hear what his offer was, cut for. I've had people reach out to me and I've said, you know, listen, what's the you know, they just want something. They want something for a news cycle or this going. And so I have not done that. I've been laying low.

But I'm offering that now.

So you would go on CNN and speak at whatever length they'd like. I would go on Jay Tapper tonight. Yeah.

Why are you laughing?

Well, the the invitation's not forthcoming yet. Maybe it will be. I'm just curious because Jake, I'm just saying there's a and by the way, Tucker agrees with you. He doesn't believe this is going to happen. But I just think Tucker, Jake Tapper has been challenging the other side since the new management came in.

And he's at 9 o'clock. And the thing is, if you're going to go on to try to blow up Bobolinski, you are going to have a long day because this guy is an intelligence officer, smart, self-made multi-millionaire, has everything in terms of all the text messages. Anytime you doubt what he's saying, he welcomes the toughest questions. Yeah, and there are people, you know, we've been around the block, both of us, Brian, a couple of times. There are people that you can just tell, glob onto a story, and they want glory from it.

They're exaggerating, they don't have the goods, and they want a 12-hour news cycle. That's not been the case here. You know, you talked about it when it came up initially, and then went dark. And now he's saying, look, I'll speak to anyone about it. And you think if it's not Jake Tapper, everyone else would be knocking on his door, right?

It's a good interview, and if you don't believe him, it makes it even better if you can shatter his credibility. This guy, you know, the right takes really seriously.

So, one way or the other, you think it'd be a good story, but we have a media whose news judgment, to say the least, is clouded. But what about 60 minutes? You would think they'd sit down with him. Leslie Stahl would have to eat her words. Listen, Donald Trump would have been much smarter saying, hey, with all these pandemic rules, with an opponent that would not come out of his basement by getting cold.

Over the last few weeks, by the FBI not following up on this legitimate story, this close election would have gone a different way as opposed to everything else he used. This is real. Yeah, and it would be a classic sitcom of the story, again, if it didn't involve. A Democrat. I mean, they did a story about Ron DeSantis' corruption suppo supposedly in promoting vaccines, because he had a deal with a a a really prominent um grocery drugstore chain that that helped get the vaccines out that everyone knew was totally legit.

They did that. But they won't do this. Yeah, I want you to hear the other big story, and that is Herschel Walker. He came on with me today about the allegations he paid for abortion in 2009 and that his son calls him some pretty harsh things. First off, here's Christian Walker opening up.

On his dad, Cut 14. I was silent lie after lie after lie. The abortion card drops yesterday. It's literally his handwriting in the car. They say they have receipts, whatever.

He gets on Twitter, he lies about it.

Okay, I'm done. Done. Everything has been a lie. And here's Herschel's answer, cut 12. I love my son unconditionally, and that's the way I've always been.

I always love him unconditionally. You know, he graduated college a couple of months ago. He's now a young man doing his own thing, but his father is always there for him. I always will be for any of my kids. And I love him.

I always support them. And I always have supported them, and I always will, and I love them unconditionally. Uh cut thirteen. He's doing tremendous damage to you by coming out with those statements. Do you know why he's saying this?

Well, the damage he's doing is letting people know that the left will do whatever they can. The wind is seat. And I told you when I got in this race, I'm going to win this seat. People see someone.

So he went on. That's what he says. He says he's had certain things and he's been redeemed. But he says the 2009 abortion didn't happen. This unnamed source doesn't exist.

It's a painful one, and politically, what gives it an extra accelerant, I think Herschel's denial, a lot of conservatives would just tend to believe it because we've seen these 11th hour attacks before, Brett Kavanaugh, the foremost example in recent history. But having the sun kind of pile on makes it more Threatening to him. And I don't know whether what the truth of the matter is. If this did happen, the right thing for Herschel to do would have said to be to acknowledge it and say he's redeemed, and that was a different life he was living, and he realizes how wrong it is, and he's seen the light. That's a message that has great power in American life.

Um but you know if it didn't happen he's right to to deny it. I mean the the the choice as a functional matter is between someone who wants to have all of us fund abortions, basically through federal funding of abortion all through nine months, or someone who's going to be a pro life vote, whatever he did in his past. But this is This is a you know, it's a it's a a mom momentous couple of days for his campaign and a lot depends on how he handles it. Right. Uh also a lot uh a lot of pressure on certain people uh to hit certain milestones.

Like for example, this guy, when he got up to the plate, stuck at sixty one home runs. High fly ball, deep lap. There it goes, soaring into history. He's done it. He has done it.

62. Aaron Judge is the American League single season home run leader. The AL King. Case closed. Your thoughts about the wait for it, and would you rest him tonight?

I was just talking to Pete about this. Your guy, I would not rest him. I'm greedy. I think he has another home run in him. I would DH him.

Just from my very personal selfish perspective, this pursuit was a strain on my marriage. My wife was like, Can't you get away from the TV? Put the phone down. Like every ad-bat I needed to know and I needed to track it. I missed 61 because I was in a meeting, but I saw this one.

I turned it on just in time. And what an achievement. I mean, he's a true gentleman, a true Yankee. And also, as someone who does TV radio yourself, Brian, you've got to appreciate Michael Kay. He's a great play-by-play guy for the Yankee TV network.

And a lot of these games, they were on Fox, they were on Amazon Prime Plus or whatever.

So I'm really happy for him as a side story that it'll be his voice always attached to this thing. Which is the way it should be. Yeah, because, yeah, because if it was on on a Friday night, it would not be, right? I mean, and then you got the National Games on ESPN, so it didn't happen there.

So the Ranger fans got a reason to go to the ballpark again. And a vice president at a major Fisher investment firm is the one that got it.

So he's probably got a $2 million ball in his hand right now. Rich, thanks so much. Go pick up the National Review and get additional stress off Rich's marriage. Go get him. 1-866-408-7669.

By the way, if you want to see me on stage, and I hope you do, go to Brandon, Mississippi, November 12th and order tickets now. November 13th, Tulsa, Oklahoma. And December 2nd, I'll be in beautiful Newark, New Jersey.

So just go get tickets. It's going to be a night like it's a red, white, and blue night that we all need as a country. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. The more you listen, the more you'll know it's Brian Killmead. It's really a bad story here.

because we are now the US Under Biden, who turned the fossil fuel spigots off and drove up prices, we are dependent once again. On OPEC. And by the way, it's OPEC plus, so it's the Saudis plus the Russians who are now going to cut back production. At least that's what everybody expects in their meeting tomorrow. Yeah, there's a lot going on here, and it's really.

Disingenuous for the President of the United States keeps saying, I cut the deficit, I cut the deficit. You cut the deficit because we were spending incredible amounts of money for the pandemic, and we spend less money when the pandemic is over. Of course, you technically cut the deficit, but it grows to 31 trillion now at a percentage rate that's over five. Not good combination. Look, he was not the President Biden's not the only one to spend this into overdraft, but he's done nothing but accelerate it.

What bothers me most, and maybe certainly Larry. Is that we don't have to be this way. We can be control of our own destiny. That was our goal for 30, 40 years until we reached it. Then these greenies take over the White House and they try to tell us to save the planet.

We got to do these things, and it's not going to do any of that. And we're going to have to do in order to have electric cars and green energy is do the things that are going to be also different in a different way challenging to our planet and environment in which we live.

So that's what people are not discussing.

So we're going to forgive student loans, try to get the young vote. We are going to. We're going to make sure that a lot of this green technology infrastructure is financed, even though not many projects have actually been implemented yet. And when people look at our books, they're not going to be happy. And along the way, they're going to be.

Vilifying the oil and gas companies. That's the next thing. OPEC has just decided, and by the way, gas prices are going up now, especially on the West Coast. OPEC has just decided to cut down production 2 million barrels a day.

So, guess what? That's going to mean prices go up and the financing of terrorist regimes, like to a degree Iran, even though they're heavily sanctioned, and certainly. And certainly Russia are going to benefit. And we don't have the relationship there with this administration in order for them to step up and say, don't do that. We're out of war.

Ukrainians will die. Innocent people will have their lives destroyed. We have to find a way to starve them. Instead, there's no pressure put on India that I know of. I don't see any pressure put on China, even though they certainly have influence there.

And we see that Vladimir Putin is barely holding on to power. We know this: his war is a disaster financially. It's a disaster the way they fight. The Russian army has been exposed. They scare no one.

You listen to the Brian Killmee Show. When we come back, we'll take your calls, I promise, and get to your emails at BriankillMe.com. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead. human beings should not be used as political pawns.

We have been working almost hourly with the city of New York since the immigrants or the migrants started arriving. Working at the federal government as well, I've raised this with the White House, that this recalls for a federal solution. Let's look at federal facilities, federal staff to help supplement the city. That is Governor Hoko, who's been MIA through all this controversy with the moving of illegal immigrants to New York from Texas and Arizona. And she now weighs in and says it's up for the federal government to do something.

But is that leadership? Congressman Zeldin's been all over this. He's also been looking at crime, and she's always late to the event. She always reacts to him.

Now she's trying to be pro-I. Uh pre pro-law enforcement. No one buys it. Almost every law enforcement uh operation has uh voted for Lise Eldon, uh decided to support him. And you have Attorney General of the United States has almost no law enforcement support because they know they don't want their ass kissed.

They just want their family and their and their uh their They want their unit, their precinct supported. And that's what's going to be a key thing in this next election. And that's going to be it. Newt Gingrich looked at this whole. landscape and where we're at right now in terms of crime, terms of illegal immigration, inflation and the main challenges facing our country.

And think things are trending towards Republicans. And it wasn't and it wasn't there in August, cut nineteen. Politics isn't about theory. Politics is about results. And they're desperate.

They're losing on the cost of living. They're losing on the price of gasoline. They're losing on the cost of food. They're losing on crime. They're losing on open borders.

You go down and they're losing on left-wing radical ideas in schools. And so they look around and they can't win on any of these issues. And they can't. And don't tell me you're going to win on crime and say, well, I gave money with the rescue plan to states and they could have funded their cities and their law enforcement. That is not earmarking money for law and order.

That is saluting Black Lives Matter, which has been a corrupt organization. Everybody wants equality. Black Lives Matter is not the vehicle to do it. No one even wants to run it. There's a ton of money there.

People and corporations gave money there, well-meaning, and it's being wasted.

So right now, for those people who say that red wave's been thwarted, I don't think you've been paying attention. I know they got some challenges with candidates who are in tough races. There's another thing happening, which I think is important as to what's happening in Pennsylvania. You talked about this being a race-to-race fight. Did you see what's happening with Fetterman?

There's a video out here of him. I mean, this guy's had a questionable past. He never really had a job, a lieutenant governor of a mayor of a failed city, and he's also been a lieutenant governor for a while. But for the most part, the guy has been flat out out of work. What you now have is.

Coming into the only debate in which the I guess the bar has been put so low, justifiably because of the stroke and justifiably because he takes almost no questions and he talks about what a challenge it is, and things got to be translated. But now you have a situation where Fetterman has more scandal breaking out at him.

So you have A situation. In the city. where he turns out to be dealing with some type of low rate or actually defacing A Braddock Strip Club.

So get this. Fetterman once vandalized the sign of a black owned strip club while he was a mayor of Braddock. A video that's the city in Pennsylvania in which he was mayor. A video clip that resurfaced Monday shows Fetterman Changing the letters of a sign to be placed in front of the nightclub from opening soon under new management to closed, not opening soon. Following the twenty ten incident, which the nightclub caught on security cameras, Federal admitted to vandalizing the club sign, suggesting it was a way to put the new nightclub on notice.

We'll see. Also, Oz was accused of killing 300 dogs. In Pennsylvania, Jezebel reported that Republican Dr. Mehmed Oz led a research team that conducted science experiments that killed 300 dogs. When asked for a response to the report by Newsweek, an Oz campaign manager said only idiots at Newsweek believe what they read at Jezebel.

Tim Ryan, not inviting the President of the United States to join him in Ohio, is now pretending as if he's a moderate, as if he didn't vote for everything put out by Joe Biden himself. And that's the problem, his voting record, which A.D. Vance has got to do, is just make sure people are exposed to it, that he's not scary, that he could actually do it. and that uh he could actually win, and that you can't run from your president.

So here's Steph Knight from Axios. She was on a special report last night on the problem that the administration is now having because gas prices are going up, and OPEC just voted. about an hour ago that they're going to cut back production By 2 million. Steph Knight, 22. We have seen gas prices start to tick up over the past few weeks as we've seen the prices start to tick up.

It's something that Americans do pay a lot of attention to. I think it's very clear that the Biden administration knows this is something they have to figure out. We've seen it in the way they've messaged about it. As we've seen, they've been quick to tout about how great it is that gas prices are falling. And now it's not looking so good five weeks out from the midterm starting to see that trend reverse again.

Yeah.

And what I think is interesting about that is I was predicted and you might have predicted at home, but I actually said it out loud, and I'm lucky enough to have a radio show. I said, you watch, when the gas prices go up, they're going to bring up Vladimir Putin. Cut 35. You've said the President was responsible for gas prices coming down. Is the President responsible for gas prices going up?

So it's a lot more nuance than that, right? Peter, you know this. There have been global challenges that we have all have dealt with. When I say all meaning other countries as well have dealt with since the pandemic. There's been pandemic and there's been Putin's war.

And Putin's war has increased gas prices at the pump. We have seen that over the past several months. And what the President was able to do, he took some historic steps.

Yeah, nobody buys that. Vladimir Putin's price hike. We're not getting anything from him. The world's not getting anything from him. What's happening is Saudi Arabia is cutting back, and we are not producing.

So the question is: will we adjust? Like all Challenged administrations. You can't predict everything. This was predictable and has a lot to do with your actions.

So she was asked. Are you considering more uh more extraction from a strategic Petroleum Reserve. CUD 36.

So we're not considering new releases, releases from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve beyond the $180 million, which is what you're talk speaking about, about the $1 million, that the President announced months ago. We don't have anything more to share or we're not going to be considering new releases. Wow. Good.

Now I like to hear about replenishing, replenishing the strategic oil reserves. Sat there for in case there's a worldwide war, in case there's a challenges that we couldn't foresee. We're getting there. People are writing about next year being some type of global meltdown. I hope it's wrong and just to get clicks.

My fear it isn't because how much we've lived through already between what's going on with the pandemic, what happened in 2008, you used to think to yourself, it's probably not going to happen.

Well, lately, it's been happening. Larry Kudlow was on with Sean Hattery last night and looked at our $31 trillion debt, looked at the interest rates approaching $7 trillion and said this cut $37. It's really a bad story here because we are now the U.S. Under Biden, who turned the fossil fuel spigots off and drove up prices, we are dependent once again. On OPEC.

And by the way, it's OPEC plus, so it's the Saudis plus the Russians who are now going to cut back production. At least that's what everybody expects in their meeting tomorrow. And they are. two million barrels.

Okay, it's going to jack up prices.

Now as Michael Schnellenberger told you yesterday, when people come up and say, well, these oil companies making such record profits, they are gouging us Where's your patriotic fervor? They're not gouging you. It's a global market. And when you take out the supply, And the demand rises, so does the price.

So Mobile, Chevron, major oil and gas companies, always vilified and blamed. They say, Well, why are you getting such record profits?

Well, what do you want me to do? You are not allowing us to drill punch holes, extract frac at the way in which we normally do.

So the price is going up. And therefore, I'm getting paid more, but I'd much rather drill more. Julie, listening on 97.1 in St. Louis. Julie.

Hey, last night. Last night I watched the Bobolinski interview, and there was the voicemail from Joe to Hunter saying, Son, I've read the Times article. I think you're in the clear.

So then I went and I read this 2017 article, and it says Ye from the CESC. quote, turned his sights on the Biden family in twenty fifteen. And then there's a gap. The next point in the time line is twenty seventeen, conveniently after Joe is out of office. We know what was going on during that two years.

But the article skipped over it. I think somebody at the Biden family got to somebody at the Times and said, we need you to gloss over what was going on when Joe was vice president. I think you're going to be able to do that. It also makes clear that when Joe told Peter Doofy, he knew nothing about his son's business dealings overseas. He knew everything.

How would he know that his son was in the clear if he didn't know? You're 100% right because you've been following the story accurately. Hopefully, there's more Julies out there in St. Louis that clued in. If you haven't seen it, Tucker's show goes online the next night.

And also, he's got a special coming up with Tony Bobolinski and the whole recreation of the Biden fund, which is really disturbing. Brian, kill me, Joe. A radio show like no other. It's Brian Gilmade. Welcome back, everyone.

I'm going to be on outnumbered at the top of the hour.

So, I hope you like that from 12 to 1. Nikki Haley will be amongst the celebrity panelists.

So, we'll be talking about that, but I also want to give you an idea of my interview with Herschel Walker today. He was the first interview since his son came out, ripping him about this abortion claims and other things that he may or may not have done. The kid seems quite emotional. Herschel Walker. I played it for him.

Here's my interview in its entirety. Herschel Walker and me on Fox and Prince today. Herschel, it's been a tornado over the last 48 hours. I watched you with Sean the other night. According to the Daily Beast, you know this woman, even though her identity is not known.

Have you figured out who it is? Not at all, and that's what I hope everyone can see. It's sort of like everyone is anonymous, or everyone is leaking, and they want you to confess to something you have no clue about, but it just shows how desperate they are right now. They see me as a big threat, and I know that, and I knew it when I got into this race, but they don't realize that I think they came for the wrong one. They energize me.

They energize me 'cause I know how they really want to try to keep their seat. And if I let them keep this seat, that means we're going to have high taxes, that means that this border is going to stay wide open, that means we're going to have crime on the street.

Well, that's the reason I came. We can't do that. And you could honestly say, they've energized me to get out and fight. And the Republicans obviously more than likely cannot get the Senate back without winning off your seat.

So, just real quick, this is the card that this woman said that you wrote to her with the check inside to get an abortion. The reason why it's significant is because you're for your pro-wife, you're for zero. Zero weeks when it comes to abortion. And here's the card, and you signed it. You've had a chance to look at this now online and on Sean Hannity's show.

Is that you? That's what I said. Sean, that looks like my signature. First of all, I never just put an H on anything. I never have.

And I said, you know, you know how many things I've signed, but I've never signed anything just an H. And I said, that's why I said, whoever is doing this, you know, it's not true, it's a lie. And right now, that's the reason I said I'm going to fight because, you know, I've been redeemed. That's one thing about it. I've been redeemed.

And I'm going to make this statement here. It's like they're trying to bring up my past or hurt me. But they don't know, like, bringing up my past only energized me to go out and fight even harder because I've been to 400 bases to talk about my book, and I'm not trying to say a book's here because I knew the pain it had through mental health. And right now, they're trying to do anything in their power to take this seat, but they're not going to take it from Herschel Walker.

So then this came out. I love the Lord Jesus, and I got into this race because of my faith, because I see what's happening. And you do say in your book, and we did a feature with you for two days. In your book, you had mental health problems, you addressed it, and you're also an inspiration for that. Here's what your son surprised a lot of us because he's been sent, he's tweeted positive things for you.

He's an influencer, conservative. And this is what he came out and said after this revelation and your appearance with Sean. Listen. My intention is: don't lie about your life at the expense of me, my mom, and all of the people that you've affected throughout your life. You don't get to pretend you're some moral family guy.

You don't get to pretend all these things. Talk policy, talk normal. Do not lie.

So he saw that and says, You're lying, Herschel. What do you say about your son? Is he telling the truth?

Well, I love my son unconditionally, and that's the way I've always been. I always love him unconditionally. You know, he graduated college a couple of months ago. He's now a young man doing his own thing, but his father is always there for him, always will be for any of my kids. And I love him.

I always support them, and I always have supported them, and I always will, and I love him unconditionally. But he's doing tremendous damage to you by coming out with those statements. Do you know why he's saying this?

Well, the damage he's doing is letting people know that the left will do whatever they can. to win the sea. And I told you when I got in this race, I'm going to win this seat. People see someone sitting here in front of you right now that's been redeemed. And I want America to know I'm living proof that you can make mistakes and get up and keep going forward, but you can only do it in this country right here.

And you can only do it if we get this election correct this coming November. Because we vote for the people on the left, like the guy running against Senator Warnot, you're not going to have a chance to be redeemed. He's a minister and he don't believe in redemption. Right now, they're trying to destroy America. They're trying to destroy Georgia.

And I'm not going to let them happen. It ain't going to happen on my watch.

And he went on to tweet. He said, I stayed silent as the atrocities committed against my mom was downplayed. I stayed silent when it came out that my father, Herschel Walker, had all these random kids across the country, none of whom he raised. What do you say to that?

Well, what I say to that is just what I said. I love him unconditionally. I wrote about everything in my book. People can read the book. I wrote about it.

I bared my whole soul out in the book. I was forgiven. The Lord has forgiven me. Like I said, I'm a Christian. I'll always be a Christian.

That's the reason I got into this race because I see things that are going wrong that's not right in this country. They're trying to separate us. They're trying to divide us.

Well, I want to bring people together. That's the way I've always been. I don't care who you are and whether you have fallen down. I'm telling you, you can get up. I'm telling you that you can have success if you're willing to admit your problem and get up and keep going forward.

But they want to take their seat away. They need this seat here in Georgia. And I'm telling everyone out there, and I'm not trying to promote anything here. You got to go to teamherschel.com. Let's keep this seat.

I can promise you, I'm going to win this seat.

So, Herschel, you're saying that you weren't the perfect dad or the perfect spouse, but you've been redeemed. Is that what you're saying? Oh, that's exactly what I'm saying. No one is perfect. You know, I even said at a meeting, I'm a sinner.

We all sin before the glory of God. But every day I get up in the morning, I pray to God that let me do his will. And that's the reason I'm in this race right now. When I see people getting hurt on the street, the crime that's going on right now, the crime is going on because of Senator Warnott and Joe Biden. I see the crime going on that seems like nobody wants to hold anyone accountable for.

I said, not on my watch. I see the way this economy is. And they saying, but not in, it's okay.

Well, it's not. This is a new normal.

Well, it's not. And I want people out there to know it's not a new normal. And if I told them, if I had to fight alone, I'm willing to fight. I love America. I will fight for America.

I'll fight for Georgia. And that's the reason I got into this race. You had 250 people packed at church last night in support of you, and you've already raised over $500,000 since Sean Hannity's interview last night. And so you still have, it seems like your backing is still there. Thanks so much for coming on, explaining what has been going on.

Herschel Walker, thank you. Best of luck. Hey, thank you, Non. God bless. All right.

I appreciated Herschel Walker coming on, and hopefully he wants to put it behind him. Last night he had 250 people in a church, and he's raised $500,000 since Sean Hannity's interview on Monday, and then I'm sure a lot more after today. Republicans want to win that Senate seat. Rick Scott's there. Lindsey Graham's still formed.

Senator Cornyn's still there. Senator Cassie's waiting to find out a little bit more, but I think Republicans know he's their best hope, and Warnock's a flawed character. Watch me unoutnumbered in a matter of minutes. This is the Brian Killmeat Show. Keep it here.
