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 Tilmi Show. We have a lot to discuss today.
And this hour, I'm going to be joined by Lieutenant Colonel Alan West. Did a great event with him at WOKV Territory over in Jacksonville, Florida, over the weekend for vets. But Operation New Uniform means once they get out, what are they going to do? This whole group exists, ONU, to make that life better. And they were smart enough to have Alan West as the keynote speaker, and what a message he had too with his generations of those who serve.
And this hour, we're also going to continue to follow what's happening around the country and developing throughout the show.
So let's get to the big three.
Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. A Christmas gift that's even more alluring than lingerie? Naturally nude pajamas by Pajamagram. Sensuous and soft, they look just as seductive as they feel. Get naturally nude pajamas today at pajamagram.com.
Number three. Secretary Austin's been very clear that he appointed. The repeal of the vaccine mandate, and the president actually concurs with the Secretary of Defense. You both should be ashamed of yourself. You're military people first.
Enough already with the mandates. As Navy commanders joined Republicans and perhaps some dems to stop the vax mandate that's gutting our military. This, as Austin says it stays, something's got to give. Number two.
So there is a much, much larger story here than just what's being revealed right now with Elon Musk's revelations. Ron Johnson, Elon Musk is delivering on his promise to unearth Twitter's role, not only in this last election in America, but around the world. All is all must-read, a must-daily, it's a daily reveal, I should add. But other networks refuse to look at the secrets on the depth of the corruption emerge. Number Governor Kemp trying to carry Herschel Walker over the goal line.
He would be the first human being who ever dragged Herschel Walker over the goal line. And look, Brian Kemp, people wondered whether he would go all in or not. He has. And he's the key to victory. Election day for Herschel and Warnock.
So many election questions are coming in. Can Governor Kemp participation replicate his results while he gets four more years as governor? Can Walker get the huge turnout on voting day, even though there's rain today? And will this be two straight runoff wins for Raphael? We'll break down the game plans.
And the outcome.
So they say if Warnock wins convincingly, they're going to start talking about him if Biden doesn't win as a presidential candidate, which to me is a joke. He's not a strong speaker. He does not really know the issues. He did a terrible job in his debate, but he has a finding a way to maximize the vote because of his connections with the evangelical or religious community and the black community to do it. And to tell you the truth, I think when I read that Walker was not campaigning a lot in the last few days, there's no excuse for that.
And it just blows me away because I thought he has a great work ethic. And I hope I'm wrong on that. But Warnock did a lot of appearances in the end, and they did a teller rally with Donald Trump in the end yesterday for Herschel Walker.
So, any of those Trump people don't think that Trump walked away from him, just understand that Trump is not as popular with the Republican Party in Georgia because they side with Brian Kemp twice. When they tried to run Purdue against him, he won easily in the primary. He consolidated power and then won easily over Stacey Abrams, what they consider a star. What's stunning to me? What a colossal waste of money.
Think about everything that could have been done positive with this. $400 million, over $400 million spent on this Georgia race, much more by the Warnock campaign. You're talking about $150 million plus as compared to $58 million plus for Walker. Campaign spending, $48 million for Walker, $126 million for Warnock. But ultimately, I think after a while, how many ads are you going to put out?
How many billboards are you going to buy? The big story is this: regardless of who wins, this whole gym. Jim Crow 2.0, everyone that bought into that, Major League Baseball, Hollywood that pulled out, these celebrities that sold their homes or whatever they said they were going to do because of Jim Crow 2.0 is a total folly. We knew it then. And we know it now for sure because the turnout on early voting is 1.7 plus million in person to vote statewide.
But he adds the final number of early votes requests is actually 1.8 million when absentee and military ballots are added to that. All told, Gravitzberger says more than 26.4 percent of the registered Georgia voters have been selected their candidate to win this Senate runoff race. Anybody who says it's too hard to vote or you're hurting minorities is nuts. The facts belie what you claimed. And the President is the leading offender of all that.
But as usual, he gets a pass, and as usual, not a pass here. Here's Walker's final message: cut one. If you don't vote, you're going to get more Chubb Schumer and also President Biden because Senator Warnott has shown that he's always going to vote with them. And if you vote for Herschel Walker, you're going to get someone that's going to give you a voice in Washington. Because I'm going to be with the Georgia people.
I always will be with the Georgia people.
So you got to get out and vote. It's raining right now, but don't let that stop you. And I say this here: I play football in the rain. I play football in the snow. I play football in warm weather.
Right now, what matters is getting out to vote because that's the most important thing you can do right now: to vote, vote, vote. Yeah. Because he knows Election Day will be his votes. He's going to win Election Day by a lot. Republicans just do.
But if you're going to let a little rain stop you from controlling the Senate, don't let anyone sure change what this means. Yes, Chuck Schumer stays in power. Got it. But when you're fifty fifty, if anybody gets sick, turns an ankle, has a family emergency and can't show up for a vote, they're done. Every committee hearing has to be co chaired.
You can't have a subpoena without both signing off on it, and it'll be a huge counter to the Republican Lead House. Don't want to do that. You don't want to disempower Kirsten Sinema and Joe Manchin. And Herschel Walker is so much better than he's being perceived. Yes, he's made mistakes.
I would have run a lot of things differently. I would have admitted if I still don't know the case when it comes to these abortions and these accusations. But why give your opponent a hammer to hit you with? If you read his book in 2007, you know exactly the stuff that they're bringing out now. He talked about changing, going through it, working on mental illness, mental challenges, things he went through that still carried over, much like the military.
And yet, in the end, They would use that to bludgeon him. 88% of all the negative stories, of all the stories in Hersher Walker, were negative. 88%. How is that even possible? Joy Reid even brings up something totally ridiculous.
Cut three. There's a There is a certain, and I've heard this from a lot of black men, even if they're not in Georgia, there's a certain disrespect that a lot of black men in particular feel about particularly the way that Walker has been walked around by people like Lindsey Graham and sort of used and put forward. They don't seem to respect him, and they don't seem to respect black people. Wow. unbelievable because he has supporters walking around with him.
When Barack Obama is speaking, Raphael Warnock sits there like he's in third grade, sitting at attention. Does that mean he's disrespected? By the former president?
So, when someone sits there and gets compliments from someone sitting next to them, it's because that guy happens to be white. That is a racist thing. I just hope you guys all see through this. There's racism in this world. This is not an example of it.
This is a guy that stood up and said, I looked all around. I dealt with segregation when I was younger. I dealt with Ku Klux Klan. And I understand that most of them were Democrats, almost all of them. That's what was pushing forward with segregation.
And now that the roles seem to be reversed, I've met Republicans, and I'm not buying the whole racism thing. I like the capitalism thing, not the socialism, blame, get reparations people. But I don't think that Herschel necessarily has rung us strong in the end. I don't like that he took off over Thanksgiving. I would never have, I wouldn't have taken an hour off.
And with his great work ethic, I don't know why he did, but he's got Brian Kemp there, who gave his whole get out the vote. Machinery. And did it work brilliantly. And this is a legitimate relationship. Herschel told us on this show that he's known the Kemp family and Brian specifically specifically since he was seventeen years old.
They like each other a lot. It's mutual respect society. Governor Chris Christie weighed in like only he can, cut for. Governor Kemp trying to carry Herschel Walker over the gold line. He would be the first human being who ever dragged Herschel Walker over the goal line.
And look, Brian Kemp, and we talked about this a few weeks ago, right? Brian Kemp, people wondered whether he would go all in or not. He has with his staff. He's been out there personally campaigning for Walker.
Now it's different, as you know, George, than him being at the top of the ballot. And so some of that is transferable, but maybe not all of it. I think it's going to be very close. These Georgia elections have been very close. I think it will be close.
I think it's going to be really close. I've not seen a poll with Herschel in front, but I know internals were a lot closer and a lot more accurate in the final tally.
So Warnock worked hard in the end. He had everybody out there, but his message is still terrible and his personal background is awful. I mean, this guy basically has a tower that Ebenezer Church has, owns. He's in control over. Don't say he licensed it out.
And it's basically a slazel slumlord, kicking powd people that don't make ends meet and other people where there's drug crack use all the halls. It's an absolute mess. But yet they want to go after Herschel Walker's business background, please. And he got his butt kicked in the debate. Finally, Ronna McDaniel, who was being threatened on this if she wants to keep that spot at RNC by Hamid Dillon and others, she weighed in yesterday, cut five.
You look great. Right now. I don't want you all to look like crap.
Okay. That's your job, because between now and tomorrow, I want you to talk to every single person. Talk to your neighbor, your friend, your coworkers, the people you go to church with, your family members. If you have wronged somebody, you make it right. And you talk about Herschel Walker.
I told this phone center today, I want you to call people till they issue a restraining order. That's how important this election is, because it's going to rain tomorrow. And tell people, bring your umbrellas.
So uh there she goes, and I think they're right. If you let rain stop you, I understand flooding, but rain stop you from voting, you wait until election day for a reason, it probably matters to you, get it done. And by the way, don't let anyone tell you that Herschel is not smart and up to the job. There'll be adjustments, no question about it, just like everybody knew. You got a guy you just put in office in Pennsylvania who just had a stroke and wasn't smart before the stroke.
When we come back, I'll take your calls and I'm going to expand on what's going on with Twitter in a very simple way: 1-866-408-7669. Brian Kilmichio. Diving deep into today's top stories, it's Brian Kilmead. Precise, personal, powerful. Is America's weather team in the palm of your hands?

Subscribe and listen now by going to FoxNewsPodcasts.com. He's so busy, he'll make your hat spin. It's Brian Kilmead. What Elon Musk has been able to do, now we know why the White House wanted to fight so strongly against him owning Twitter. All he's done is put out the truth.
Now we need to start looking at Facebook, at Google. These now have become arms of the Democratic Party, arms of the Biden administration. But they also used the intel community as well to lie the American public. Should those people keep their clearances? Should those people still be allowed to have information?
If they're going to be political individuals, then no, they should not. And this is just the tip of the iceberg of what we need to investigate. And yet, through everything that Kevin McCarthy said, all that's been revealed by Matt Taibbi's Twitter address, and soon to be Barry Weiss, and soon to be maybe Greenwald, we're about to find out on Substack. We're about to pick. journalists that aren't necessarily right or left.
But they would approach this honestly. The FBI letting know these huge titans of social media that Russian disinformation is coming, just like 2016, it's going to change the election. Then look out for it, look out for it. And then when it comes in October, yeah, this is it. Everybody destroyed it, everyone shelved it, everyone diminished it.
And now, a year and a half later, everybody said it was real. The laptop was real, the emails were real, the allegations were authentic. There's nothing that was. Not 100% correct about the laptop that crackhead Hunter Biden gave to that repair shop. The repair shop gave it a year, gave it to the FBI for a year.
They didn't touch it. When it went to Miranda Devine and others, they knew it was ready to come out. They briefed the social media companies on it. And when they got it, they decided to shelve it. We heard Zuckerberg say that to Joe Rogan and others.
Other people trying to get ahead of it, like CBS, because they all look terrible.
Now they're not even covering it, which just backs up that they've learned nothing and we're all doomed unless we find a way to take some action. Here's more from Elon Musk on a radio show, Cut12. If Twitter is doing one team's bidding. before an election. shutting down dissenting voices um on a pivotal election that is the very definition of election interference.
And what the hell else would you of course it's like Mm-hmm. You know, it Different. But frankly, Twitter was acting like an arm of the Democratic National Committee. It was absurd.
So look. What do you want? When you look at this, you're like me. You think, okay, who's saying it? What are they trying to get out of it?
Elon Musk bought it. He wants Twitter to become a clean place that is unbiased. But don't think for a second that he wouldn't vote for Barack Obama if he was ready today. Don't think for a second. that he would vote for Donald Trump because he wouldn't.
Don't think for a second that he wouldn't vote for Ron DeSantis because he thinks Ron DeSantis, he said it, is the best guy right now. But it doesn't mean he's Republican or Democrat. And SpaceX exists. Because it's a cooper a cooperative movement with The federal government. It doesn't it doesn't behoove him at all to pick a side.
Tesla has subsidies from the US government. Yet he's not invited to the White House every time they talk about electric cars. He's the most successful. He did almost all of it on his own through innovation, trial, and error. I don't know what's going to work out.
You know, I don't want this whole chips and brains thing. Not good, but I like that someone's thinking about stuff like this. You know, a lot of people you know Benjamin Franklin did great things like The fire department? He did brilliant things like electricity. I'm sure he had some clunkers too.
Same with Elon Musk. He doesn't walk on water, he's still a human being. He's a lot smarter than me. And what he's doing now is a public service.
So listen to how The other networks aren't covering it or they're diminishing it. They're saying there's nothing here when there's everything here. Here's Corrine Jean-Pierre. Listen, she's just so awful, but I just want to share it with you, CUD 15. We see this as an interesting or a coincidence, if I may, that he would so haphazardly, Twitter would so haphazardly push this distraction that is a full of old news, if you think about it.
And at the same time, Twitter is facing very real and very serious questions about the rising volume of anger, hate, and anti-Semitism on their platform, and how they're letting it happen. And, you know, the president said last week, more leaders need to speak out and reject this.
So keep in mind, too, I don't want to confuse you. The easy thing to do would be to get confused. Just know this. This idiot Hunter Biden. This drug-addicted, drug-addled.
Uh immoral lunatic. Was asked to lead on most family international business deals along with Jim Biden. Tony Boblinski's experience that.
So you might say, well, the former vice president was in office then, but this stuff was going on when he was in office because there were meetings that took place on Air Force Two where he went down to Mexico with other leaders. There were lunches that he had with some of the business principles that Hunter Biden was dealing with. Why does it matter?
Well, I don't know. Should someone be trading on their office while they're in office and then after office? I don't know. Does that matter? Number two, does it matter with other countries you might have to deal with and maybe wonder if he's compromising Ukraine, Kazakhstan, or Russia?
I don't know. Does that matter? Does it matter? Mexico, too? Think it matters.
China especially shouldn't matter. And then you find out. That any time you You have even voicemails from James Gillar, who is one of the principals in this with Tony Bobolinski and Jim Biden and others. Saying that whatever you do, don't mention Joe Biden's name only if you're in person with him. You can never mention his name.
I know you know this, but they're very paranoid as a family.
So he's involved in it. They're the very least that asks a ton of questions with anybody that has any interest. But again, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, nobody's asking any questions. Tony Bobolinski actually said, Jake Tapra, call me. I will unfold and unwind all this and answer all your questions.
And now you have Twitter being exposed by Elon Musk, you have other networks admitting that it's all legitimate, everybody saying that the FBI did everything except order it to happen. The FBI directly involved Clearly when they invade when they raid Mar-a-Lago. They're just as directly involved, even though their fingerprints aren't directly on this. Would you brush and they're there? Coming up next, I'm going to talk to Lieutenant Colonel Alan West about What's happening at the border?
Some of this. As well as the From Georgia election. Spend bulk of his life there. Brian Kilmicho, so glad you're here. Hey, it's Will Kane, co-host of Fox and Friends Weekend.

Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. On any number of committees, when you have to change the allocations, that's one less voice to try and stop an economic agenda that has decimated the country, that has seen an open border policy from the Biden administration with over 4 million people crossing illegally and 1 million gotaways. This is a country that needs a serious tone and tenor within the Senate. And one more Republican vote means one more ability to stop an agenda that really has hurt the American people.
That's why you see those Georgia voters going out and saying we're voting to oppose Biden. That's what you would need. Brian Camp. People upset with Joe Biden, and people going to ignore the mass media, 88% of which was. Negative on Herschel Walker.
How's that even possible? You would think the guy's going to end up in Rikers Island. Reputable businessman, world-class athlete, known as a legend in Georgia. Yeah, he moved to Texas, got another house in Georgia, but that is not unusual to have more than two houses, especially to move to Texas. Ask somebody that did that when he was in Florida.
He decides to live in Texas. He grew up in Georgia. Lieutenant Colonel Allen West joins us now. Colonel, great to hear from you again. Thanks for calling.
What's your reaction to people that say this election doesn't really matter? Democrats are already in control of the Senate. No, it completely matters. And as you just heard the person articulate, it was great seeing you Saturday down in Pontevedra, Florida. This is all about making sure that you have a balance even in the Senate.
Because if Raphael Wardock gets to go back, then that means that Chuck Schumer will control all of the committees. Chuck Schumer will have subpoena powers there in the United States Senate. But if it stays at 50-50, that means that you have an equal share on these committees. And they're not able to ramrod a lot of the things through. And we know what that the Republicans have a seven-seat majority over in the House.
So that is a good leverage point for a constitutional conservative pushback against the buying agenda. The economy is still not in good shape. Our foreign policy, national security, not in good shape. Our energy security is definitely not in good shape. We're going to tell Chevron to drill in Venezuela instead of allowing us out here in Texas to do the drilling for oil and gas.
Yeah, I guess. How do you feel about it? I want you to hear what Joey Reed said. Because you know that Senator Lindsey Graham and yesterday, Senator John Kennedy, and in the past, there were been other senators like Ted Cruz helping out Herschel. Listen to what Joey Reed said: cut three.
There is a. Certain, and I've heard this from a lot of black men, even if they're not in Georgia, there's a certain disrespect. That's a lot of black men in particular feel about particularly the way that Walker has been walked around by. People like Lindsey Graham and sort of use and put forward, they don't seem to respect him, and they don't seem to respect black people. What does that mean?
Because a guy sits next to you and says you're great, that means they don't respect you?
Well, remember, everything is looked through the prism of of race and racism from the left, but yet Joe Biden can sit up there and say, If you don't vote for me, uh, you're not really black and you know, I'm sure Joy Reid had no problems with that. But when all of a sudden you see white conservatives or Republicans that are supporting a person running for the United States Senate, I don't give a doggone about what his skin color is. They have to reduce it to that and make it seem like he's some type of, you know, you know they're going to use the term Uncle Tom or sell out or whatever. When you think about Raphael Warnock and the things he's been voting for, he has really done more harm to the black community. Look, the black community through unemployment and better education opportunities, historical black colleges and universities, criminal justice reform, that all happened under the Trump administration.
It did not happen with Barack Obama. And where was Jory Reed when white progressive socialists were running around and propping up Barack Obama? She didn't say anything there.
So again, it's this duplicitous hypocrisy that really is offensive in nature. Yeah, so we'll see what happens. He needs a big turnout today. What do you think, Colonel? It has to be a big turnout.
And once again, what you're going to see, Brian, is what is happening in a lot of red states, to include here in Texas, is that all the major urban population centers are trending blue. The Atlanta metropolitan area, Macon, Columbus, Savannah, and also Columbus are trending blue. Augusta, along with that, if I didn't say so. And so what you really have to do is get in and fight hard to get a percentage out of those major population centers because the rest of the the state of Georgia is very dark red. And hopefully we can get a good turnout in those rural areas and non-major population center areas and enough of a turnout for Herschel in those major population centers.
What does Kemp do? I mean, in theory, Kemp ran a brilliant campaign. He's got this turnout mechanism that is effective. He has a legitimate relationship with Walker. You know politics.
Can one guy make a difference in six weeks? Absolutely, you can. And what you saw the difference is that Herschel and Brian Kemp did not campaign together in the general election, but now you see Brian Kemp doing commercials for Herschel because he understands the importance of Georgia having that conservative Senate representative instead of Raphael Warnock going back and what that means overall, not just for the state of Georgia, but for the entire country.
So Brian Kemp's help and now his support is going to mean a lot. And the other thing is that you had that Libertarian candidate that got somewhere between 80 to 82,000 votes. Let's see how those votes break. Yeah, very interesting. The other big story that I just talked to Tulsi Gabbard about.
is the VAX mandate kicking out Good men and women from every branch of government. And the president, Kemcarth, he said, listen, when they met for the first time, he said. I really think you've got to revisit the vax mandate. It's killing our military. Don't have enough people.
Recruiting goals aren't there. You got to get rid of it. We're in our fourth variant now. It doesn't, even the vaccine, the original vaccine is not effective. If people want to do it, do it.
You're not honoring any religious exemption. You got to do it. He said, all right, I'll consider it. And they said they brought it up to Austin. Austin says, no, we must do it.
Kirby says, no, we must do it. And Adam Smith even shows possibly some give in the House and Senate. How damaging is the vax mandate? It's incredibly damaging. I want you to think about the Coast Guard rescue swimmer that President Biden called in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.
That young man was going to be put out of the Coast Guard in 60 days because he had not taken the vaccine. Did that stop him from being able to go out and recover and rescue hundreds of people in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian? No. And actually this vaccine is doing more harm than danger when you look at the rate of myocarditis that is cropping up in these healthy men and women that we have in our military. And that's a fact, proof positive.
So when you talk about the degradation of our readiness, our capability and capacity, the fact that we're not meeting recruitment and retention goals, and the fact that the commander-in-chief himself on 60 Men has said that the pandemic is over, so why are we having the mandating of these shots, which we all know does not prevent anything? Right, so I want to talk about and that's so big in the military. Over the weekend, I had a chance to actually hang out with you for the first time because we talk every week and have the Operation New Uniform. This is a great organization that we watched, I guess, nine years ago, it was 15 people. And then we watched this huge hall being filled up at the Marriott in Ponte Vedra, Florida, with a bunch of local people who just want to help men and women in the military, whether it's four years or 30 years, to have that next phase in their lives.
Because on average, we have 22 military members committing suicide on a daily basis, 22 a day. A lot of it's a lack of second mission. You have a family of military members. You are the perfect keynote speaker. You're a fantastic speaker without peer, and you speak from the heart without notes because it's your life and it's your beliefs.
Could you tell everyone about the organization? Why was it important for you to be there?
Well, it's so important because we have to help those who have given an incredible amount of devotion to this great nation, willing to give the last full measure of devotion, as Abraham Lincoln said, we have to show them increased devotion. And when we continue to allow, you know, like you said, 22 of our veterans on average per day to commit their lives when they have been on battlefields, they stood on freedom's ramparts, like my dad did in World War II, my father-in-law did in Vietnam, my brother did in Vietnam, I did over 22 years, my nephew is doing it right now, both of my son-in-laws or soldiers. We cannot allow this to continue to happen.
So we need to help them to continue to serve this nation in another uniform. And that's what Operation New Uniform does: to take them and help them to transition to better opportunities, professional opportunities, build a new career based upon the skills, talents, and just incredible attitudes and sense of character that they have.
So Operation New Uniform, Michelle McNamanen, has done an incredible job. And sadly, as you articulate and I articulate, why do we have to do this from the private sector? Because the government is failing these men and women. See, what I understand is, too, with the big picture, someone just takes a step back. You know how hard people work on recruiting.
They talk about the pitch, what people offer. We offer school and we offer X and we actually Y and we Z. This is why it's a good option for you. And then if you could actually seal it off with the career services, maybe six months before retirement, buy guys like you would be better than me to figure out six months before retirement, it's mandatory you start meeting with a career counselor about next steps. And then you have this incredible military network that's out there to consult and hire.
So you go, oh, wait a second, these guys got me from A to Z from 18 years old to 28 years old. I felt like I had options. And if you show up at your career counselor and go, listen, I got this business on the site ready to go, well, you still got to show up. You got to make three or four appearances with your career counselor in order to before you leave the military, before your paperwork's going to be done, just like your health insurance. You should just factor that in.
It will help with recruiting. It absolutely would. The incredible thing is that when you look at the left in America, they talk about cradle-to-grave government entitlements.
Well, why don't we take our young men and young women that are making this commitment to this nation and make sure that we transition them? Look, you want to talk about fixing the supply chain? There are plenty of men and women in the military that have logistical supply experience. You want to talk about making sure we can move our freight all across the United States of America. We've got plenty of young men and women who have been truck drivers.
So why are we making sure that they have these continued successes and careers? I mean, flight engineers, you name it, all of these things that they can bring and offer. Security. You look at what has happened in our schools. We have veterans that can make sure that our schools are safe.
But you know what? Instead, we're giving $1,400 per person who are coming across the board illegally while we still have homeless and jobless veterans. That is upside down. Absolutely. Colonel, great to see you.
And by the way, if you ever see that the Colonel's on a bill where he's got a keynote speaker, whatever you do, make time to watch him speak. You're fantastic. Colonel Allen West, thanks so much. Appreciate it, Brian. God bless.
You got it. 1-866-408-7669. I'm going to come back and take some of your calls, expand on. We got Election Day here, December 6th, is you know, today is for Georgia. It's really going to have a lot of balance of power.
Now it looks like the Republicans secure the House. That was great news for them. They continue to file in seats. If they can get this win, they'll have momentum that they didn't have after a midterm that they thought would be a red wave. We'll talk about all that and more.
You'll listen to the Brian Kilmey Show. Giving you everything you need to know. You're with Brian Kilmead. From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmeade. Hey, welcome back, everybody.
1866-408-7669. Special thanks to everybody who came out. For that great, as you mentioned, Operation New Uniform, big event at night at Ponte Vedra, Florida. And before that, I had a chance, thanks to the great people at Tom Bush BMW, to have a great day, afternoon day.
So many people showed up, and there were food trucks on the outside with Tom Bush people did, and to get to meet that staff. And they're actually selling cars again.
So it's good to actually go to a dealership and hear, yeah, you're missing some chips. You might not have something for the heated seats, but you got yourself a car.
So things are getting back online in the car business to a degree.
So thanks to everybody who came out for the President and Freedom Fighter. I hope to see everybody else out. Especially KTFK listeners in St. Louis on Friday night. Go to BrianKilme.com, then Mount Pleasant, New Jersey next Friday, and then McCallum, Texas on Saturday.
Let's go out to Denver, where to Denver's there listening on WOKV out in Florida and Jacksonville. Hey, Denver. Hey, Brian, how are you today? Great, what's in your mind? I just wanted to first say thank you, you're a great American.
I ran into you with my daughter at the store with your. Wife, and you guys were gracious. amazing. And your comments to my daughter furthered her belief she's on the right path. I remember I met you, I think it was Target.
Yeah, Target, exactly. I didn't want to tell everyone where you shopped, but yeah, we were at Target. It was awesome. And you guys were so gracious in the time you gave us, and it was a random. encounter.
So, you know. Your words further inspired my daughter. We left, and she said, I forgot to tell him that I have four of his books.
So. Yeah. Yeah, well well that's great. Thanks. But what's on your mind today, Denver?
What's on my mind is when we talk about the whole Hunter Biden laptop, which is the same thing as the Hillary Clinton Server, these are all similar events in my view. And having been in military intelligence and health declarance, as early as twenty fourteen, friends of mine who are in the intelligence community concerned about how The government is using their social media posting to determine whether or not they're allowed to keep their clearances, your top secret SEI clearances. in their annual reviews. And if you think about that, how many people have we lost over the years through suspension of their clearances or outright being taken away and them losing their careers? Because they were posting things that weren't in line with the Obama administration or this current one, is that currently going on?
We just don't know. Um But when you talk about freedom of speech, if The government is determining who can have clearances and access. to these intelligent systems. By what's being posted, you can weed out people who you don't want. which is why you get this FBI overreach and these other issues, in my view.
There's no doubt about it. But when people say the government was not involved with this whole Twitter mess and the suspension of the New York Post as their Twitter handle as well as the shelving of that story, when they say the FBI and the government wasn't involved, what do you say to that?
Well, I know they were. you know, the the the The idea that Clapper and others and the FBI included with their agents that somehow once the DNI or other people leave government, they are no longer connected, like the chief counsel of the FBI being at Twitter, that there is no connection or control between the government. These people maintain those relationships. And they're able to influence those relationships. Even once they're out of government, what goes on within those bureaus and agencies.
So the idea that somehow the FBI wasn't involved and didn't push this for me is. is ludicrous. understanding who at the agency it was who Who pushed it? I think Congress needs to figure that out. And the other thing is, Dan Verton, you're an intelligence officer, you serve in the military.
You know, too, it's not just Twitter. Think about what Facebook is doing together with Twitter. Yeah, they compete, but now when it comes to this, it seems like when you look at the response from the rest of the media, You know, with forget about commentators. You could go in and cover the story and then have a commentator say, I don't like the story if you joy read, or I love the story if you're you, you it. And this is a very important story.
I get that. You have different commentators, different beliefs. But to not cover it, CBS NBC, all the networks, zero minutes, MSNBC, two minutes. This is a huge story. And it really is discouraging to see people not even cover it.
And or say the government wasn't involved. Nuts. Thanks so much, Denver. Great meeting you. And you must be very proud of your daughter.
I know you you should be, and you are. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. This is the Brian Kill Me Chow. If you want any of my books, sign for the holidays, just go to BriankillMe.com. It goes to my local bookstore, and I send it out to you.
You got to do it quick. Don't move. From High Atop Fox News Headquarters in New York. York City. Always seeking solutions, never sowing division.
It's Brian Kilmead. Thanks so much for being here, everybody. It's the Brian Kilmey Show. It's going to be an exciting hour. Ian Bremer coming up next.
Andrew McCarthy, right after that, breakdown what's happening with the Twitterverse, and then we'll do a SamoCast and Barney and Company. Can we get it all in? That is the challenge. I want you there with me along the way. We come out to you from 48th and 6 in midtown Manhattan.
We're about six blocks from here. I think there's going to be a casino soon. No joke. I think it's up to the Mets owner, the Yankees. Everyone's trying to buy a casino Jay-Z.
I think it's important to bring more. More people to Manhattan. I'm already walking in the middle of the street. The only thing we don't see is cops, but that's for another time. 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. Secretary Austin's been very clear that he opposes.
The repeal of the vaccine mandate, and the president actually concurs with the Secretary of Defense. What a joke. Enough already with the mandates as Navy commanders join Republicans and perhaps some Democrats to stop the vax mandates that's gutting our military. This, as Secretary of Defense Austin, says, well, I think it'll stay.
Something's got to give here. Number two.
So there is a much, much larger story here than just what's being revealed right now with Elon Musk's revelations. Wow, that is just a little bit of what Senator Ron Johnson had to say. Elon Musk, delivering on his promise, to unearth Twitter's role, not only in the last election, but in previous elections and ones around the world. It's also a must-see, daily reveal, but other networks refuse to even look at the secrets and the depth of the corruption that's emerging. Number one.
Governor Kemp trying to carry Herschel Walker over the goal line. He would be the first human being who ever dragged Herschel Walker over the goal line. And look, Brian Kemp, people wondered whether he would go all in or not. He has. He has, and that could be the key if Herschel is to win.
Election Day for Herschel and Warnock.
So many election questions are coming in. Can the Governor Kemp's participation replicate his personal results? Can Walker get the huge turnout on Game Day, which is today, and this has been, what would be two straight wins for Raphael? We'll break down the game plans and the outcomes. But first, let's go international with Ian Bremer, president of the Eurasia Group and author of The Power of Crisis: How Three Threats and Our Response Will Change the World.
Ian, welcome. Brian, good to be back with you, man. Yeah, same here.
So, there's so many important things internationally going around. First off, I would love to go around from what you see with China. It seems on the surface that for the first time in a long time, President Xi seems to have taken a backward step and eased up on the zero COVID policy, eased up on the mandatory testing, eased up on the welding you in your apartment buildings. Are we to believe what we hear? To a degree, yes.
And what's amazing about this, Brian, is it is a response to the Chinese people. This is Xi Jinping surprised. By the level of anger spilling out onto the streets, workers. Urban elites, students, not coordinated by any sense of opposition, just angry at having their lives so destroyed over the last two years and finally saying enough is enough. And when he met with Biden three weeks ago, two and a half weeks ago in Bali at the G twenty, there was no sense That there was going to be any change in zero COVID or the policy in any way wasn't working.
And suddenly, oh, the science has shown that we can focus on vaccines and we can open up. No, the people have shown that. And there is a level of change in direction, focusing now on as fast as possible getting the over 80-year-olds in China vaccinated and boosted, and focusing not on the widespreading lockdowns for everybody in an entire city when you start getting initial case spread. That's a big deal, and it's a small and rare win for the people living under a brutal dictatorship. Right.
But you do know, too, that with the facial recognition, their surveillance state, you wonder if these people are going to be slowly, without the world scrutiny, going to be somehow they've got to get some type of retribution on them. I hope not. They say nearly 530 million people, almost 40% of the population, were under some form of lockdown as of late November. That's stunning. And it's the reason why Apple, for example, one of the biggest global companies, has decided to start taking some of their production out of China, moving it to other countries, because those lockdowns were affecting their production, were affecting their workers.
It's why China's economic growth last year was about 3%. This year's likely to be 3%, underperforming considerably because of all of the disruptions that come from these lockdowns. And yeah, there's no question the surveillance is extraordinary. And this isn't all carrot. Almost every person that the Chinese government could find that was participating in a demonstration through facial recognition, through voice recognition, through following the apps on their smartphones, they got a visit from Chinese police.
They weren't arrested, but they were told, we know you were involved in this. We want you to pledge not to do it again. And by the way, if you do, you're going to lose your job. You're going to go to jail.
So, I mean, in the Chinese context, Brian, this is what you would consider to be a soft treatment. But the message is very clear. It's not as if they're suddenly saying we're going to act like a democracy. Far from it. Right.
Just some other stats. 20%. Youth unemployment is at 20% right now. You have stuff like Alibaba, we all thought was the you know, it is the Amazon of China. They reported a net loss of $3 billion last quarter.
So you have these people who are unemployed, and now they have the government in every element of their life telling us you can't leave, you can't shop, you can't go anywhere. We're taking your kids, we're putting them into a locker room. I mean, it's just nuts who they thought they can get away with. I guess we'll see what happens. We like to make China at this behemoth, this big machine, but they got their own struggles big time.
That Belt and Road program is not this runaway success. No, I mean, so much money has gone into projects around the world, many of which were advancing China's political influence, but didn't actually produce economically. They didn't produce returns. And you now see the Chinese government from the top down wanting to put much more scrutiny into where they put additional investment dollars, investment one, because they don't have as much to spend internationally. Because of 3% growth with contracting demographics, difficult productivity, they need to focus more on Chinese consumption and Chinese domestic supply chain.
So you're not going to see the trillions of dollars being spent on projects across sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia and Latin America. They're going to need to actually make returns off of those investments. Money doesn't grow on trees either in the United States or in China. And they've not been focused on China on effective sustainable growth for a long time now. See, in the big picture, this is what I didn't understand.
I don't understand how they know they're suffering economically. They know the slowdown that's happening. They know the manufacturing that's not taking place, the damage to the supply chain. I thought it would be in their interest to make people go back to work with the virus in their face, as opposed to I'm going to save you from this virus and lock you in your house where you could starve to death or burn alive.
So, I can explain that to you, Brian, because you've got to remember that at the beginning, in the first year of the virus, China was not locking down people across the country. In fact, they were the first ones to reopen. If you look back to May when the virus three, four months out, I mean, their growth was strong, their discos were open, their factories were open while we were locking down and we were complaining about it. We had hundreds of thousands and then millions of deaths across the US and Europe while the Chinese did not.
Now, of course, This was in an environment where the pandemic, where COVID was much less transmissible. And Xi Jinping personally not only implemented that policy, but trumpeted domestically and around the world that this was the right policy.
Well, over time, the Americans, the Europeans have very effective vaccines. The Chinese do not. The Americans, the Europeans are getting people increasingly exposed to COVID and therefore have more immunity. The Chinese do not. And it becomes much, much, much more transmissible.
And you know what? All of these leaders around Xi Jinping that had been telling him, oh, you're so wonderful, you're so great, this is a great policy, they're very reluctant to tell him he's wrong. And he's very reluctant to make a change.
So that's the issue is they got locked into a policy that looked like it was going to be pretty successful two years ago. A year ago, it was getting people pretty angry. And over the last six months, it's been a freaking disaster. But dictatorships. Don't get free flows of information, and you don't get leaders without any checks on their power that suddenly say, Oh, okay, I was wrong, let me try something else.
So, I was reading your newsletter, and you said that how the Biden administration decided told all their people, no more, you know, no in your face, I told you so to China, because they were mocking us for the way we handled the virus they inflicted on us. And part of the reason why so many dies because they didn't tell us exactly what was going to hit us. In fact, they told us we had nothing to worry about, and then they held back our PPE. It's just despicable they've never been forced to pay for this.
So, we said, Don't say anything. We watched the benign effort from Admiral Kirby on the microphone, in my view. And then, in return, here's what the, for us sitting on the sideline, this is what we get from China. The price of freedom in the U.S., 1 million COVID deaths, 40,000 gun deaths, 107,000 fentanyl deaths, what they're responsible for, in 2021 alone. The American people deserve something better for that.
What we want to do is protect our people's lives and ensure them a better life.
So President Biden says, hey, guys, tone it down. Don't put it in your face that their way is not the right way. And that's what we get in response. Anytime we tone it down, they look at it as weakness. You feel differently.
Well, I feel a little differently. First of all, I understand that the politics aren't going to play out as dramatically in the headlines now that midterms are over.
So Biden doesn't see as much utility in playing politics with the China relationship As he did, neither does Ron Klain, chief of staff, as they did in the months before the midterms. That's number one. They don't care if they take criticism on that point. Number two is they believe that the U.S. policy, specifically on semiconductors, the export controls, that basically tells the Chinese, we're going to stop you from catching up with the Americans, it's a policy of containment in critical areas of national security, much harder than you've seen under Obama or under Trump.
They believe that on the issues that really matter to American national security, the United States should hit the Chinese hard. In other areas, they see no point in getting involved in what they consider to be gratuitous name-calling. They don't think that's potentially useful.
So, those are the two things that are going on. And I suspect that there are a lot of people in the world. But you know what? I'm going to change. I'm going to change it.
I should not name-calling. I don't want to be like, aha, but it's just sticking up for the people that have the immense courage to stand up and hold up those white sheets of paper and tell the Chinese government, we're. Watching you. Don't wipe these people out like you've done in the past. I thought a statement like that would have been effective.
For example, I watched Canada. We're going to continue to ensure that China knows we'll stand up for human rights, we'll stand up for the people who are expressing themselves. We also need to make sure that China and places around the world are respecting journalists and their ability to do their job because you know what they did to the BBC reporter and possibly more.
So I'm going to say, why is Canada giving more stronger statements than America? No, I take your point. And I do think that this is a reasonable area of debate. I think that Biden well understood that when he gave that direction to the cabinet, that there would be a lot of people that would say, no, we should be much tougher given the fact that we support human rights, we support democracy. I think there's also a sense that the demonstrations that you saw, as dramatic as they were under Xi Jinping, reflected a few thousand people over the course of one weekend in a country of 1.4 billion, dramatically different from the two months and counting.
Oh, I thought there were 16 provinces of the millions of young Iranians, for example, that actually have the potential to make a difference.
So I think there was also a sense that this was, in the grand scheme of things, relatively small for China. Right. Let's pivot there. I thought 16 provinces had presence of some type of uprising. I thought that was significant.
They did. They were just really small.
Okay. That's true.
So, I agree with Hillary Clinton. I haven't said that often, when she says you cannot have negotiations. I've never heard you say that. Yeah, when she came out strongly and says you should not be having nuclear negotiations with Iran, especially with their crackdown of their own people, with hundreds dead and thousands jailed because of the uprising, they said that they disbanded the Morality Police. What's the reality as you know it, Ian Bramer, on the ground?
It's not true at all. And the New York Times, the BBC, and others gave these headlines that said the morality police had suddenly been disbanded. Those headlines were misleading. I publicly said they should take them down. There was one official in a press conference that said the morality police no longer existed.
He was really referring to a decision that was made months ago in who had authority and responsibility over these, over the decision over whether or not one is imprisoned for wearing a hijab. There's been no change on the ground at all. From Iran, in terms of the lack of liberties of women, that if they do not cover themselves up, if they want to go into a government building, if they want to walk on the street, they are taking their lives in their own hands. It is showing who is with the regime, who is against the regime. It is incredibly brutal and repressive, and there is absolutely no change so far.
The U.S., the Iranian supreme leader, has said that they will pay no attention to the people on the streets, and the response has only been repression.
So, let's go to Ukraine real quick. Ukraine had a drone hit on an oil depot in Russia near an airport. They hit three different airports, it looks like with drones. But there's been eight waves of attacks on the infrastructure now by the Russians into Ukraine. By any scale, this has been a disaster for Russia, but Ukraine is paying a steep price.
Where are we heading? The Russians can no longer change the fighting on the ground in Ukraine, and so they're taking it to the people. This is increasingly a war of terror, attempting to bring as much pain and hardship to the Ukrainian citizens as possible. The Russian government is embarrassed, they're humiliated, and they're not prepared in any way to negotiate or to withdraw. And so, what you see is the Americans leading the way in support militarily for Ukraine, along with the UK, Poland, and others, to try to help the Ukrainians take the territory back that has been stolen from them since February 24th.
And that fighting is going to go on through the winter. The Russian economy is going to continue to suffer. The Ukrainian people are going to continue to suffer. You know, it's amazing. The Russians never expect to get hit on their land.
They have. There have also been a terror attack. A woman got killed who is also pro-war, but it was really her husband, or excuse me, her father who was a target. And then the blowing up of that bridge, and then these hit inside Russia. This is really creeping into their border real quick.
And the American are the Russian people behind it? Ten seconds. Yeah, they're mostly behind it, but that support is going to diminish as more and more Russians come back to it. Ian Bremer, he's the best. The Eurasia Group, the insights, you're not going to be replicated anywhere.
Ian, thanks so much. Back in a moment. Be good. Your calls next. A talk show that's real.
This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Hey, welcome back. We got a few minutes here. Let's go to Alex Lewis on WABC in Brooklyn. Hey, Alex.
Hey, good morning, Brian. Thanks for taking the call. I really feel confident about today's election. I could really see Herschel Walker making it because Democratic voters in Georgia aren't so desperate to go out and vote because they know that they have the Senate no matter what happens. They have the majority.
But I hope Republicans realize that if Warnock wins, then the Democrats don't have to get Joe Manchin to be on board on the things they want to pass, like the filibuster. To abolish it and and other radical stuff.
So it's really important. But I I also think that Trump not being there is helping Herschel Walker. And some people were saying that The ballot harvesting that the Democrats are doing now before this runoff is is going to affect the election because You can't compete on the on the election day voting with the ballot harvesting. But I think it's so wrong because in Georgia, before November eighth, you had the same ballot harvesting going on. And Brian Kemp won by eight points.
Herschel Walker was really tied.
So it wasn't the ballot harvesting, it was the Trump factor. And I could see that that doesn't play in right now because Trump wasn't rallying for him. Yeah, I mean, I think there is. And you know, the thing that just kills me, Alex, all the negative publicity on Herschel when he's done so much good. He has a great personal success story.
There's been problems, no doubt about it. But he is a legend in Georgia, and they're making out to be somebody who's intellectually a midget who has no business running. And that's just not the case. A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmead.
I think this is a story of the federal government with all of its vast power and authority. Colluding with some of the biggest companies in the history of the world to censor Americans, to put their thumb on the scales, you said, of what's out there, what people can actually read and know about before an election. And it ought to scare the bejesus out of every American. I don't care what your political stripe is. I mean, this is out of some dystopian novel.
And that's what they're talking about, the Twitter exposure that we're hearing about now, thanks to Elon Musk deciding to unmask exactly what's going on in Twitter before he bought Twitter. And what I'm just stunned by, I am, I would say stunned, and I shouldn't be, that nobody else is picking it up. Even to bring it forward and say, so wad, Twitter shouldn't be doing this or they shouldn't. But no one's even entertaining it. And when the press secretary was asked about it, he says, well, we're more concerned about hate speech on Twitter.
All those stuff are old stories. Andy McCarthy here doesn't feel that way. Fox News contributor. Andy, what about the fact that people are dismissing this and other people think it's the biggest story in the world? I'm with the latter.
What about you? Oh well, I'm with you. The latter. I mean, I just It's also political, Brian. I remember years back during the Bush days, We were all whipped up because the New York Times Would Report National defense information, like the the tracking system that they had to track terrorist accounts.
which had the effect of telling people who wanted to mass murder Americans how we were tracking them and how we were mapping them. And when the Times was asked about this, they said, look, it's transparency. The public has a right So no. And it didn't matter that it was national defense information that may have hurt Investigative efforts against a terrorist organization that we were at war with. What mattered was they said that transparency is the top ideal.
Well, you know.
Now we have a window into how Twitter works. and how the government colludes with them, and it's a problem that we have that. You know, I mean, people say that, you know, they think it's uh it's either no story or it's old news, or but I don't get that, you know. That is somehow problematic. The probe How the inner workings of Twitter go and how the government, which could not suppress information on its own, heavyhandedly leans on these social media platforms to suppress political information, which under the First Amendment is supposed to be the highest form.
Of public information, and that's not a problem.
So Matt Taibbi comes out and writes at the end of all his tweets that he's putting out there, he's going to get more, and he's going to be joined by Barry Weiss, maybe Glenn Greenwald, too, to put out some of this information that Elon Musk is unveiling from his file now that he owns Twitter. And Andy, he's saying at the end of this, there's no proof of any government involved with this suppression. Do you think that's true? I don't think it's true. I don't just to be fair to Taibbi, What he said was that beyond a general warning, that there's no direct evidence.
And I just thought that was the weakest part. of what he put out. I wrote a piece in the New York Post about this over the weekend. I'm writing another piece in the National Review now. There's immense evidence.
that the FBI worked with Democrats in order to try to undermine The Biden investigation that was going on in July of 2020. in connection with the information that was being amassed by Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson in the Senate.
So they were doing that, Brian, months before we even knew that there was a Hunter Biden laptop. Number two, they knew all about the Hunter Biden laptop because they had it since the end of 2019.
So they not only knew what was on the laptop, they had every reason to know that it wasn't Russian disinformation and that it was highly likely that it was going to leak given the circumstances under which they themselves had obtained it. And then they went heavy handedly having these weekly meetings with the social media platforms. And everybody's, including I think, Taibbi to some extent, everybody's focused on the idea of did they mention Hunter Biden's name? And I just think that's preposterous. They don't need to mention Hunter Biden's name.
They go in there, and first of all, there are sophisticated actors on both sides of this, right?
So, with Twitter, for example, the Bureau is briefing Twitter. about the possibility of Russian disinformation and hacking to interfere with the election. And who's representing Twitter? One of its top lawyers is Jim Baker, who was the general counsel for the FBI during the twenty sixteen stuff, during the Russian case stuff.
So you know, they don't have to spell everything out. Um you know, they say uh they go in and they say to the social media companies, Look. The social media companies have to be held accountable For promoting this information. And we have real reason to believe that the Russians. Are trying to do what they did in 2016, where they Pact.
and released information that was derogatory to the Democrats to try to help Donald Trump. And we believe that there could be a repeat of that. And if you see information there that plausibly could be hacked, or might be perceived as disinformation, it's really your responsibility to make sure that, that doesn't get disseminated.
Now Did I have to mention Hunter Biden's name? Nope. To tell you that you you know now exactly what your marching orders are. Right. And what the this it this isn't Andy coming in and talking to them, right?
This is the FBI coming in and talking to them.
So the message is There could be a real problem for you guys if we turn around and find out that you're disseminating information you had reason to know was Russian. Intelligence that was intended to hurt our election. Yeah, it's unbelievable because look, I just want to tell you guys, in October, there's going to be a huge car barreling down the street. Just be ready for it. I don't know if a car's coming, but just I'm telling you, they they promised that.
And this car comes running down the street. They didn't cause it. They're not driving the car, but they told you. How did they know that car was coming down the street? The answer is they found out about it a year ago.
They held on to it. And Miranda Devine believes they tapped into her email and knew exactly what she was going to publish before she published it.
Well, I don't know what Miranda's basis Miranda is a great reporter, so I don't know I'm sure she wouldn't say that unless she had reason to think it. But my point is, I don't really think I think it's a mistake. And I'm not, this is not directed at Miranda. I just want to speak about coverage in general. I think it's a mistake.
To elevate the question of did they mention Hunter Biden's name specifically? And did they convey this specific piece of information? Because that is not the way. This game is played. Understood.
And that's so important about your articles. You're saying, you bring a practical sense to it.
So we're on the outside. We don't investigate, and most of us aren't lawyers.
So if I don't do an investigation for a living, I'm susceptible to how it's reported. That's why your perspective is so valuable. You're reporting, and you've done this as an investigator before. And just say, because people on MSNEC come out and goes, they didn't say anything. The FBI didn't do anything.
The FBI clearly raided Mar-a-Lago, but the FBI clearly didn't tell everyone to look out for the Hunter Biden story. But I find it very interesting that 51 so-called intelligence experts were all queued up to say this is all classic Russian disinformation. And James Baker is now part of Twitter. Yeah, but Brian, look at the way they did it too, because this tells you everything you need to know, right? If you read that letter carefully, And you got Brennan and Clapper and the rest of these guys in a room and asked them about it, what they would tell you is, uh uh uh uh, we never said it was Russian disinformation.
We said it bears all the earmarks of Russian disinformation. And we talked about Russia's motives and why they might want to do something like this. But don't accuse us Of saying that this was Russian disinformation, because we never said that. Read our letter, it says that we don't know what the evidence actually shows. We haven't seen the evidence.
We just think it's a classic example.
So, John Radcliffe, who was DNI director, I want you to get this and expand on this. We have two minutes left. You cut 19. The same James Baker that, to remind your viewers, was general counsel for Jim Comey at the FBI, who helped write an exoneration memo for Hillary Clinton before she was ever interviewed by the FBI for having hundreds of classified emails on her server. That same James Baker then met with the Clinton campaign officials to hand carry evidence, supposed evidence about Russian collusion, the steel dossier, alphabet connections with the Trump campaign into the FBI and the Department of Justice to launch an investigation that went on for years.
That's the same James Baker that ultimately at Twitter said statements from the FBI, the Department of Justice, and the Director of National Intelligence that say this is not Russian disinformation apparently aren't clear enough and we need to suppress this. And your final thought on th how this one guy is at the center of all this? Yeah, why should anyone be surprised? What I would point out to people is that. Uh Baker was Comey's top.
advisor. He was general counsel at the FBI. And when Comey looked Trump in the eye and said that you are not a suspect, in the investigation. He knew That the FBI was in the FIFA court saying under oath that the Trump campaign. was a clandestine agent of Russia.
In Pfizer applications, that Baker reviewed and Comey signed.
So You know, I mean, we've been telling the story for how many years now? It just gets extended. They're not news stories, it's the same story extended. Yep. Accept it.
And let's not give up. Let's try to keep it as simple as possible and expose as much because you know it's not just Twitter. You know, it's Facebook and Google. I just can't afford to buy those entities.
Now, the Brian Kilmead Show joins Fox Business's Varney and Company with Stuart Varney live on your radio and on Fox Business. Here's Brian Kilmead. Hey, welcome back, everyone. We'll be getting to your calls in just a moment: 1-8-6-6-408-7669. And I'll also get to your emails: BrianKilmeadShow.com.
We just click on comments and we're able to get to it.
So, I'll try to get to that after this. But we're going to do a similar cast on one of the fastest-growing. One of the fastest growing networks in all the land on cable, and that is FBN. And right now, if I'm look at the shot I see in the monitor, I have only a chin.
So hopefully we zoom out on that or we take a different camera. Because I could do a voiceover for him, trying to hide my identity. Let's say I was in the mob, and there you go. I think that looks a lot better.
So let's listen in together. Why go to a Orders. Stay and not disappoint. Order. is a more important thing going on, they're going to invest billions of dollars in a new enterprise.
Okay, Brian, there's more important things than the border, namely a chip plant in Arizona. What do you make of that? It's a joke, and it just goes to show you that he's not even fully briefed on what matters. I mean, here they are trying to pass a bipartisan deal, which no one should touch. Senator Tillis, I don't know what he's drinking, is looking to pass something with Kirsten Sinema.
It's a good thing to have a bipartisan deal, but not this one at this time. It's a joke. But number two is just to know that there's momentum behind a bipartisan deal, which he's been asking for. You think you look at Peter Ducey, who yelled the question, go, you know, I'm very hopeful about what's passing through, and, you know, unfortunately this time it won't happen, but I plan on going down there. I spoke to Kevin McCarthy about it.
Instead, he's just so dismissive on something that matters so much, that really revolves around our security. You know, God forbid, if some of those 98 known terrorists that got in on the tarot watch list, the other people that have slipped in, the gotaways at an all-time high, if they start inflicting more apparent damage and destruction on this country, you could honestly say that Biden policies are directly responsible. The trouble is, though, he got away with it. In the midterms, the border was not an issue. And the Democrats, you have to say it, they performed pretty well in the midterms.
Yeah, I mean, it's disappointing to think that. Maybe in some cases, abortion was a bigger story than the border. But, for example, Henry Quare is able to prevail. Beta O'Rourke was not. And they were both open border.
Henry Quare was a Democrat who was cracking down. They tried the primary. It didn't work. He wanted to strong border, and he ended up keeping his job. Beta O'Rourke was someone who wanted to take the fence down, he said at one point, and he didn't have a shot there in the governor's race.
So there are other signs that they did well. On the border, it doesn't seem to resonate that high, which is a shame. It is a shame because that's a crisis and a half. I've got to talk World Cup with you. Team USA is out.
Is England now your top pick? No question. I'm just looking at the brackets now. I know they have one more bracket in the quarterfinals to play, in the front of 16 to play. But right now, the game is England-France.
I think England could prevail. I look at Argentina to beat the Netherlands, and I look at Brazil, who looks like the class of this tournament so far to have a little trouble with Croatia to get to the Final Four. I'm pulling for England. They play the way the Americans play, only a little bit better. They certainly have the experience.
I like the squad. I think they play with a lot of confidence. They're likable. And I just hope they get through. And also, I look at the Netherlands, for example.
I look at the U.S. If they played a little bit stronger, if they were able to convert more of their chances, they would have won that game. I couldn't say that in years past. Did you watch any of this? Yep.
Yeah, I watched it all. I was in, actually, I was in Australia and New Zealand, where it was on in the middle of the night, and I got jet lagged, so I watched almost all the games in Australia. Australia's real good team. They did. It's the best World Cup that I can remember with some terrific teams emerging as real stars.
Like Japan? Like Japan, for example? Yeah, like Japan, for example. Yeah, plenty of it. I've got to go, but thanks very much, Brian.
We will see you again soon. Don't forget, the World Cup comes here. We'll go together, Stuart. All right, you drive. You're on.
Right, the Metropolitan. 1866-408-7669. Ezra, listening in Atlanta. All eyes on Georgia today. Hey, Ezra.
Yes, sir. I got up in the dark with my girlfriend, went and voted for Mr. Walker for the second time. I went to his rally last week, and I got to tell you, I was more impressed listening to him speak. Yes, he is country.
I grew up in Connecticut, so. I know the difference. But he's got a very deep and very broad command of the crucial topics. And people in Georgia need to understand if the vote goes 51, 41, and Democrats take the Senate. We're not going to be in charge of any of the committees and won't get any of the money.
This is the most critical election we've got. 5149 is what you mean. But, real quick, did you vote today? Yes, well, yeah, yeah, this is the one. There was no line.
There was more poll workers there, and that's what I'm worried about. It's raining.
So, you know, they stay home.
So the early voters mail them in, or whatever they do, and they're Democrats.
So the, you know, day the day of election voters, Republicans, they got to get out. They got to get out. I was number 23 on the ballot machine. That's like 7:30. That's pitiful.
I also heard that, too. Very conservative area from somebody I know in the area that says he thought there was going to be about 300 people online. There was 60.
So that does not look good for Herschel because traditionally Republicans vote day of. And he won. He needs 60% of the day of voting. And you need about a million and a half to show up today, or just over a million, I should say.
So hopefully they'll do it. I mean, come on. If you're going to vote and you're going to let some rain stop you, please. I mean, don't the American initiative and the pioneer spirit. I'm not asking you to chop down 25 trees and build a lean to or a log cabin in the middle of nowhere and fight off cougars.
All you have to do is just. Go to an area, probably mass transportation, and vote. I think he deserves that. Thanks so much for the call. And I think this, if you're looking at Mayorkas and he survives, they're already talking about him being a presidential candidate because Oluca, he's won four elections.
And he qualified for the runoff Two years ago. He actually got the nomination. He saw it, then he wins the runoff. Two years ago, that's two. And then he has more votes than Herschel, but doesn't get 50%.
So he does win it, so that's three. And if he's able to beat Herschel four in Georgia, which needs to you need to get Georgia if you want to win the election, more than likely.
So people are saying, Mayorkis. He might be the type of candidate that could go national. That's if Joe Biden doesn't run. But right now, it looks like Joe Biden runs. Why else would he be pushing so hard to make South Carolina the first primary and not Iowa?
Because he's terrible in Iowa. No one likes him in New Hampshire. They liked him in South Carolina because James Clyburn said vote for him. Hey, listen to the Brian Kilmey Show. Go to BrianKilmey.com, order any of my books.
I'll sign and personalize them, get them out by Christmas. If you do it now, if you do it today. Don't move. 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 Kilmee Show, 1-866-408-7669. Thanks so much for listening. We've got a busy hour coming your way. We've got to be joined by Daniel Bilak shortly.
He's a member of the Territorial Defense Forces of Ukraine, former Chief Investment Advisor to the Prime Minister of Ukraine. And he has a lot to say about what's going on, a lot going on on the ground. But one thing is pretty clear: the Russians have been humiliated. They've overstepped. They've been actually...
Banished by the international community. I think even China is pushing them to wrap this thing up, but they are still inflicting tremendous pain on the Ukrainian people. They seem to be able to take it. Nigel Farage will be with us, Spot of the Hour, former Brexit Party leader, Fox News contributor. Always love having him in the studio.
So, before we get to Daniel, let's get to the big three.
Now with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. Secretary Austin's been very clear that he opposes the repeal of the vaccine mandate, and the President actually concurs with the Secretary of Defense.
Well, that's good. John Kirby waves in enough already with the mandates. A Navy commander joins Republicans and perhaps some Democrats to stop the vax mandate that's gutting our military. But General Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and former General Austin says it must stay. What a joke that is.
Number two.
So there is a much, much larger story here than just what's being revealed right now with Elon Musk's revelations. Elon Musk is delivering on his promise to unearth Twitter's role in not only this election, but other elections and other elections around the world. It's all a must-see daily reveal, but other networks refuse to look at the secrets and the depth of the corruption because it all helps Democrats. That's why. Number one.
Governor Kemp trying to carry Herschel Walker over the goal line. He would be the first human being who ever dragged Herschel Walker over the goal line. And look, Brian Kemp, people wondered whether he would go all in or not. He has. He has, and he could be the key.
Election day for Herschel and Warnock.
So many election questions are coming in. Can Governor Kemp's participation replicate his own personal results? Can Walker get the huge turnout and possible rain on Election Day? Will that hurt? Because it is raining on Election Day.
Keep in mind, Warnock has won the last two runoffs.
So, with that, we'll talk about that shortly and we'll update you as we see it.
So far, we have not seen a great turnout, which is not good for Walker, but doesn't mean anything definitive. Let's bring in Daniel Bilak, a member of the Ukraine fighting force in every way, shape, or form, financially and physically. Daniel, welcome back. Hey, Brian, thanks for having me on.
So, seven massive missile attacks on infrastructure. You're doing a good job knocking them out of the air, but not knocking all of them out. But I think people are talking about the strikes inside Russia at two military bases and at an oil plant. What could you tell us?
Well, you know, Brian, our guys don't comment on anything that happens inside Russia, which probably tells you what's happening. It's interesting that if they are our drones or our missiles, they're only hitting military installations. We've had sixteen thousand rockets launched against the Ukraine since a missile since february twenty fourth, since the war started, and ninety seven percent of them have hit civilian targets.
So it gives you an idea of what who's who Putin's at war with. In the last month and one half, we've just been had this barrage. I mean, the country's just been blacked out and our entire energy system is was virtually on the on the edge of collapse. You know, he hasn't hit one single military site.
So it's clear that he's this is a terrorist act, it's a blatant terrorist act, and he's trying to get the Ukrainian people to knuckle under, to fall on their knees and force us to a negotiation. In fact, they've been absolutely blunt about this. The the Kremlin has said that we're doing this to force the Ukraine to the negotiating table. This is pure terrorism. And generally you negotiate with terrorists one way.
You defeat them on the battlefield and then if you need to talk to them, you talk to them then. Instead, we're hearing from people some people in the administration, some people in other countries, that we should be negotiating with the Russians now. I don't know what you negotiate over unless you're prepared. You're telling us to give up our territory. And it's always easy to give up somebody's land, Brian, when it when it's not yours.
You know, he's been he's just been bombing us with impunity. And I don't get why NATO is not threatening him with catastrophic consequences. like they did when he alluded to the fact that he was going to use nuclear weapons. And it got back down. Same with the grain deal.
He said he was going to pull out. He got whacked by Turkey and the US. And he backed down. Instead, everybody's reacting to his missiles against our energy. Ten million people have no lights, heat or water.
I just turned my generator on so I could do this interview. And he's got when he sees he can do things with impunity, he doubles down and he's we're just going to keep getting bombed. I don't know why they don't tell them that, look, if you continue bombing these innocent civilians. We're going to take out the cruise missile carrying ships in the Black Sea. We'll take out your bases in occupied Ukraine.
And we'll crush you with economic sanctions so that you can't wage war. I mean, if I can figure those three things out, somebody else in the Pentagon or in NATO should be able to. Right. But they would believe they're so worried about Korea starting a world war. Here's what Secretary Anthony Blinken said yesterday, CUP 34.
We've seen a massive mobilization this summer, 300,000. Not all of that has actually been. Fully mobilized, probably about a third. But what happens? You get forces that are.
barely trained. Poorly equipped. not winterized, who are thrown into this mix. And It's terrible, but they're also not. generally speaking, particularly effective units.
He went on to talk about what you just said, Cut 35. Russia tried to in effect erase Ukraine's identity as an independent country, to subsume it back into Russia. That was Putin's self-described number one objective. That's failed, and it won't succeed. Then they engaged in a land grab.
to get as much as they could in eastern and southern Ukraine. That too is now failing as we've seen the Ukrainians since the summer. push back in an increasingly effective way.
So The current objective is to take the war to the Ukrainian people. Putin is directing his his ire and his fire at Ukrainian civilians.
So That's where we're at right now. And in the winter, it seems like you guys are better equipped to be successful, but they're not doing much on the ground, correct? Uh Well I mean We are advancing, we're continuing, we've gone from success to success. You know, a lot of people have said that it's coming wintertime and both sides are going to pause. I don't know, every expert that's been talking about Ukraine and the West has got it wrong from the get-go.
I mean, I don't think our forces are going to stop, Brian. I mean, the ground is hardening. We've got them on the run. You know, all these people that Secretary Blinken was referring to, it's harder to move through them because there's a lot more of them now. But this is where we need the West to step up and give us more weapons in greater quantities and much, much faster.
And we can get this done, Brian. You and I talk about this every time.
Sometimes I feel like we're on a drip heat on life support. And we just get enough to get us to the next stage. And America is, if it goes in it to win it, good things happen. And our guys can show our men and women on the front lines have shown that they are absolutely adept. using American weapons and other countries' weapons.
But they're probably the only people that know how to use all of these weapon systems and have integrated them into a single fighting force. I don't think any NATO country can do that. And we need more long range rockets. We've been held back. We're getting bombed by rockets from being shot at us from one thousand miles away in the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.
And we're limited to shooting back at about sixty miles. And we can't even hit our our own their bases in our own country in Crimea. And it's time to unleash that. Take the leash off. We've shown you can trust us.
We've shown that we are responsible that we can be responsible. And we've shown that we know how to use this stuff. Let's get this over with, and let's get it over with as soon as possible. And that's all up to you guys.
Well, I mean, you're getting something, but not enough you need. Getting enough to win, and maybe get enough to survive and be successful, but not enough to thoroughly win. What's it going to take to win is when they get pushed back out of their territory all the way through Crimea, Vladimir Putin on a car to show that the Crimea Bridge has been fixed. But meanwhile, he got hit three times within his own country in the last 48 hours. Yeah.
Brian, I mean, this notion that somehow people in the West are getting tired of this war and we should be negotiating a peace that leaves him with part of Ukraine is just not going to sell in this country. Too many people have died, too many people have suffered. There is actually less. appetite in this country now for any compromise with the Russians over territory than there would have been at the beginning of the war when they controlled part of the Donbass in the Crimea. We want them out.
And frankly, you should want them out. Because if they don't get pushed out, if Russia is not defeated on the battlefield, they're going to come back. And they're going to come back harder and they're going to go further. They're going to go into Estonia, they're going to go into Poland. They've said it, they're not lying about this stuff.
And their appetite is just going to grow. And frankly, if he's not told to stop the bombing of civilians now, he's going to see that as a sign of weakness because civilian infrastructure is going to become fair gain in the West. You're going to see your hospitals, your railroads, your road systems, your electricity grids. All of these things are compromised by Russians and digitally and physically. And he will just feel that he is in power.
This is the way the guy thinks. He's a KGB agent. His whole life is a special military operation. But he failed. I mean, he failed to understand what he was getting into.
He failed to game plan. He's been lied to about the strength of his military. He's been lied to about the maintenance of his equipment. He's been lied to about the talent of his leaders, let alone his infantry. This guy has been exposed in front of the whole world thanks to Ukraine, along with Western weapons and some training.
So I'd just like to see you guys get the attack hims necessary, like you said, start scaring them off the infrastructure. But you know what's the most pull? It is China. China has not given any military assets, but right now they see this war dragging on, and word is that they're looking to pressure Vladimir Putin to end it. Do you see that?
You know, you raised an excellent point, Brian, because there was an article that came out in one of the media in the past week that said that the reason we didn't get the airplanes that we were promised from Poland early in the war, the mid-twenty ninths, the Soviet airplanes, was that it was kiboshed by the US. And apparently, it was a deal between the US and China that China would not give Russia weapons that it was asking for if we didn't get the airplanes.
So there is a much China starting to loom as a much bigger equation, I think, part of the equation in terms of the geopolitics of this. And that worries me. I mean, it could be a good thing, could be a bad thing, because it worries me that once again we will get sacrificed on the geopolitical table. Yesterday, Brian, was the anniversary of our signing of the Budapest Memorandum. Remember that in 1994, which was supposed to guarantee Ukraine security?
We gave up our nuclear weapons in exchange for a guarantee of our national security and our borders and our territorial sovereignty by the United States, Britain, Russia, China, and some other countries. And that turned out to be a big nothing burger. And there are a lot of people saying we should get back those nuclear weapons. Unlikely going to happen, obviously, but it means when we talk about security guarantees coming out of this. in terms of ending this war, Ukraine is not going to settle for anything anything less than NATO, I don't think.
I mean, I don't I don't I don't see anything else other than nuclear weapons and developing them ourselves. that is going to give us a security need for an aggressive imperialist genocidal neighbor.
So, I agree with you on every count. The other thing is pretty clear: China doesn't have a problem with Ukraine. You guys had good relations. And that's why China is saying, like, we don't, how do we win on this? Our key partner's been exposed as a hollow tiger.
And now Ukraine is looked at as maybe an enemy. And they don't have an axe to grind with Ukraine. You guys were never a problem. You guys had trade agreements.
So they're bystanders on this, but with an alliance towards Russia.
So that's why I think, in some respects, listen, the whole world is putting pressure on me now. You guys are terrible. You're falling apart. Vladimir Putin, evidently, I don't know if that story is true, of him falling down the stairs the other day. That he's suffering from Parkinson's and Yeah.
So, uh, you know, I I just go ahead. Chin China is all about China. Right, and right now, China sees all of this in the context of how it's going to position itself vis-à-vis the U.S. And this is why the U.S. has to remain resolute on Ukraine.
Because if it falters, if it allows a messy compromise that is going to compromise Ukraine's territorial sovereignty in any way, that's an open door for China into Taiwan and all across Southeast Asia and in the Pacific. And the United States will actually have, in my view anyway, a much bigger problem on its hands than the one it hands now. Russia is actually a sideshow for China. This is all about gauging what is the resolve of the United States of America. And the world is being brought into, is being split into a bipolar situation where you've got democracies now.
basically uh clustered around the US and dictatorships and autocracies clustered around China and Russia. And and this is going to have a huge impact on And capital flows and everything else.
So there's a lot riding on a peaceful outcome in Ukraine. And the only way you get a peaceful outcome in Ukraine is to defeat Russia on Ukraine's territory. And then let's see where the chips fall after that. Daniel, you've got to get them out. It doesn't do you any good to criticize the Biden administration.
I understand it. But just so you know, it's conventional wisdom that if we don't look so weakly in Afghanistan, the Russians don't feel as though they can go into Ukraine and some other things that have rippled from there. Daniel Bill Axe, stay safe as you continue to fight for your country and their sovereignty. We appreciate it. Thanks, Brian.
God bless the people of the United States of America. You got it, and the people of Ukraine. The more you listen, the more you'll know. It's Brian Killmead. Hey, welcome back.
We just got a couple of minutes here. 1-866-408-7669. Just keep in mind, so far, I'm not getting good reports about the turnout in Georgia just because people say it's a little bit rainy. But if Republicans are out there and think to themselves, what's the big deal? It doesn't make a difference.
You have to talk to these political experts. They just said you could not be further from the truth. Number one, Kristen Sinema and Joe Manchin came up big last year. I mean, in terms of packing the Supreme Court, not going to happen. In terms of making Puerto Rico.
Didn't happen in terms of getting rid of the filibuster, didn't happen. It was really because those guys said, Yeah, I'm more of a traditionalist. I'm not going to do that. And just like Mitch McConnell, when they had the majority, they said, I'm not going to do that. That's not what I want to do, even though President Trump was on Mitch McConnell to do just that.
So that all goes by the board if you don't have it. Plus, if you are a co-committee chairperson, you have a lot more power than if you're in the minority. You're really invisible. You're a bystander when it comes to confirmations, and you're a bystander when it comes to all these subpoenas that go out. You have to sign off on it.
You're going to see some of the political things going on. I want Donald Trump's taxes from before he was born. Why is it? Let's get Fred Trump's taxes. All that stuff is going to go by the boards if you get 51.49.
And plus, Raphael Warnock's. This guy hasn't done anything significant. He's not been a significant pastor. He's a terrible debater. And to me, Herschel Walker would be much very symbolic for the change in the Republican Party.
Nigel Freud's next. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead. Bellingham here. Beautifully done and England are ahead.
Jordan Henderson, absolutely wonderful move. And the Liverpool man strikes. And that's an easy finish for Jordan Henderson. 1-0 England. Superbly taken by the oldest player.
in the England squad and one of the most popular in the whole of England looking to set other things up against here Foden and Kane, big opportunity. And a flumping finish. Harry Keynes off the mark, and England are flying now. Clear water 2-0. Foden starting to turn it on.
And that's another goal sucker again. Delightful little dink finish and England are running away with it. An absolutely sensational from Sokka in England. 3-0. And I want to get Nigel Farage in a good mood, and that's the best way to do it.
Show the last time England played 3-0 winners over Senegal, so they advance. They're going to play a team called how do you say that, France? Yeah. Did I say that right? Yeah.
Okay, Nigel, he's a former Brexit Party leader, Fox News contributor. What do you put first? on your resume. Is it Fox's contributor or former Bre Brexit Party leader?
Well, it depends which continent I'm in, really. But although I have to say, I am very proud of the Brexit Party because it looked like Brexit was gone, it was being betrayed. I formed that party and within six weeks won the European elections. Got 50% more votes than the nearest party.
So, yeah, I'm proud of both. Right. And before we get into it, let's stick with soccer for a second. England now will play France. If you look at the other bracket, we don't know what it's going to be yet.
It's either going to be Portugal, Switzerland, Spain, or Morocco. But you've got to feel good about getting to the final four. France is going to be hard. But I mean, the way you guys are playing, you know, soccer. What do you think?
Look, you know, last year we got through to the final of the European Championships. We lost on penalties. It was agony. I was there. This is the best England football team for many, many years.
They've got two on penalties. Uh Italy. Italy. You didn't qualify for the World Cup. You couldn't invent it.
You couldn't invent it. But no, I think... I think Kane as captain is a very steadying Influence. I think our forwards are really very, very good. France have been one of the most impressive teams of the tournament, but I j do you know, I just get a feeling.
It's about momentum. And I think England now have a bit of momentum.
So I'm feeling good about it. Right. That's the team I'm pulling for now. Brazil, people say the class of the tournament, they are putting on a show. Oh, I mean, look, entertainment plus, isn't it?
You know, watching Brazil is always entertainment plus. They're the favourites to win, but, you know, it's a knockout competition. Anything can happen. And then you have on the other side, Argentina against the Netherlands. I thought the Netherlands were beatable against the U.S.
The U.S. left that far post wide open. They missed some early opportunities.
So they didn't look like that. I mean, look, they look real good, but I'm just talking about playing Argentina. I think they look beat. Yeah, and of course, Messi, you know, it's going to be his last World Cup, one of the greats of the modern season. He's going to be coming to Miami.
Well, Miami FC. I tell you what. Play for David Beckham. I'm in no doubt. You know, when you go into a bar in New York.
And there's a Premier League football game on, soccer game on. They're literally falling out onto the street pavement. And I detect. There, I think in five, ten years' time, soccer in the U.S. is going to be huge.
And I thought the way you played against us, by the way, the other night, I mean, you know, this is an impression. But they played, they didn't just hold on for a counter-attack, they seemed to just play, which was kind of a relief. Just play and see who wins. It was good to watch. Yeah, it was good to watch.
And you've got Americans now playing in the Premier League, you've got them across Europe. No, no, America. I mean, I promise you, the game in this country is going to go places.
So, and you guys are places.
So, the World Cup aside, there's one thing also is pending, too. And it's a little bit off what I was talking about, but there are some problems in Brazil. Neymar is going with Bolsonaro, who everyone says, including our government, current government, because he's like Trump, he must not be good. We are actually propping up a 78-year-old convicted criminal who worships Castro, who has no business being in office, who seems to have won a corrupt election, and there's non-stop protest in the streets. And we in America aren't covering it.
Are you guys covering it? Very little. And you say protest, millions of people protesting. I mean, this is huge. The military's with Bolsonaro.
Oh, yeah, absolutely. Here's the danger. You know, you've got to ask ourselves a big question. Why does democracy work?
Well, it works because even if the other guy wins, if the other side win, you respect the fact they've won and you say, do you know what, in four years' time, we're going to get our guys in. When you start to doubt the electoral system.
Well, if you can't change things by voting, well, you may want to pick up a weapon. This is the great danger. And I have to tell you. Changing tax slightly, but I was here for the midterms. I was in Arizona for the midterms, and I'm back here just three weeks later.
Why are you here? I'm here because I've got a few speeches to give and things to do, but I'm also here. Because I I I I I don't think the Republicans have fully got into their head that rather than talking, about what went wrong on november the third twenty twenty They need to become the party of electoral reform. They need to say, we're going to clean up American politics. And here's the kicker.
State by state. Absolutely, and with the Republican states do the job properly, in the Democrat states, embarrass them into it. And they've got one big advantage here. 50% of Democrat voters. have got concerns about the electoral system.
50% of Democrat voters think voter ID, a measure such as that, make sense.
So I'm doing my best. To talk to my friends in the Republican Party to say, stop looking backwards, start looking forwards, come up with a positive message to clean up American politics. Right, and we got to see what's going on right now with American politics.
So when you first off on your area of expertise, people have seen what's happening with the EU right now, and they're looking to expand. And we're seeing that it seems to be Britain is struggling economically. What could you tell us about the break? In political terms, the break was 100% right. Why would you want someone called Ursula von der Leyen that you can't vote for, you can't remove, making fundamental decisions about the way you live your life, about foreign policy, etc.?
So, in democratic terms, it was absolutely the right thing to do. In economic terms, Well, it makes trade with our next-door neighbours a little bit more difficult, a little bit more expensive. It's marginal, but it is. in economic terms. It doesn't make sense to do Brexit unless you put supply-side reforms in place, unless you're able to start to break down the over-regulated model to help British businesses.
And here's the truth of it: the Conservative Party haven't done any of it. But when trust's tried, What happened? When Truss tried, it was extraordinary. We had the International Monetary Fund, we had the White House, we had the German Chancellorship, we had the European Central Bank. It was as if the whole world was conspiring against a Prime Minister who wanted supply-side reform, wanted to cut tax, and wanted, crucially, to cut the size of the state.
She should have stuck in there. She should have stuck in there. She should have fought these guys to the. But the way I understand it, she didn't have the... She lost her party.
She basically told her to get out. But if I was her, she should have stuck with her chancellor because she got rid of him first to try and save her own skin. And once you've done that, you're on a downward slope with your own organization. And your finance minister, didn't she get rid of the finance minister? She got rid of him.
She got rid of him. And that was a big mistake. They should have stuck together. I mean, I have to tell you, all they were trying to do. was to reduce the size of a state by half a percent of GDP.
That's all they were trying to do. And the globalists don't want any of that.
So these are big problems, but it's been six years since the British voted to leave the European Union. We still have no trade deal with the USA. We still have not put in place any supply-side reforms. And so a lot of people are saying, well, we voted Brexit, Nigel, but. What's it delivering for us?
This is not a failure of Brexit, it's a failure of the British Conservative Party, who themselves have sell their story. They've moved so far to the left now, it's almost unbelievable. I mean, what we're doing on net zero, what we're doing on renewable energy, we're giving our consumers and our factories the most expensive electricity in the world. And we wonder why aluminum smelters leave the country, refiners leave the country. They're not conservative at all.
They are labor-light. And so there is a real crisis of conservatism within our country. Do we understand that China has all those rare earth materials? Do we understand that China makes all the solar panels? Do we absolutely?
They make the solar panels, they make many of the wind turbines as well. And so we find ourselves ever more. Rare earth for batteries? Yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, we are in a bad place with this.
The Conservatives will lose the next election. And then then hopefully there's gonna be a per be a period of soul searching.
Well, they try and find out what the party's fair.
Now I knew that when Barack Obama didn't want them to do the Brexit and he had to stick to it, and no one expected him to do a free trade deal. I expected Trump to do it. He's like, Well, they're not it would have been it would have been in the next four years. Oh, no, Trump would have done it. Right.
But why would Biden not do it? Oh, he doesn't like the British. He really, really doesn't like the British. It's something to do with his Irish ancestry. It's all a misplaced interpretation of history.
He doesn't like the Brits. And also, don't forget that the Clintons and the Bidens love the European Union because that is the model. For what the globalists want. I mean, had Hillary won in 1916, she was even talking about America aligning to European Union market rules.
So these guys are globalists, these guys see Brussels. as really the basis for some of the world government. Absolutely. the disappointment and the horrible display by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and we see that Vladimir Putin didn't have the army he thought he had or he knew he didn't have it and now it's being exposed. What are the ramifications right now in Europe?
I was just speaking to the finance minister right from Ukraine. They're just trying to destroy the infrastructure because they can't beat the army. It's looking brutal, isn't it? Because they're going for power, energy, infrastructure. And of course, it's a very, very large.
Should the world be doing speaking out, just like they did against when they said the grain will stop, the world says no, it won't. Nuclear weapons will be used. The world said no, it won't. Should they be saying you should not be terrorizing civilians? I have a fear.
that the situation in Ukra in Ukraine is going to get a lot lot worse over the course of the next few months. For Ukraine or for Russia? For Ukraine.
Well, and for Russia too, because this is after all an attritional war. You know, both sides are losing. Both sides have been losing large numbers of men, depleting their own resources, their own stockpiles. Look, we have the West have given considerable help. without pushing this into a full all-out war.
Uh my fear is it's going to be a stalemate. Uh it will go on for a very, very long time. I think we're doing quite a lot, to be honest with you. I think we're taking large numbers of refugees from Ukraine. We've provided a lot of aid, a lot of military weapons.
You mean UK or West? The UK's given. I mean, frankly. You guys are doing great. Frankly, the United Kingdom.
Because of Brexit, we're now free to make our own decisions. And we've been the world leader on this. I think the balance is about right. It's distressing to see what's going on, but I don't think we should push any further. Right.
The TACOMs, which could go into Russia, but Ukraine says we won't, but we need to get more distance to be able to start wiping out the people that are wiping out our infrastructure. Are you against that? Uh I if I was Ukrainian, I would fully understand why that position's being taken. Look, they can't just if you put yourself in Ukraine's boots, you can't just stand there and take this without fighting back. But I you know I have to say, the media are so stupid on this.
When the Russians withdrew, behind the river. This was all portrayed as massive victories. The Ukrainian army is sweeping the land. In Kyrgyzstan. Yeah, that's right.
And all they've done, actually, is they've moved back to a much stronger defensive position.
So be very careful, folks, what you listen to and what you see on media. But it is true, Nigel, they couldn't hold it. And they were being cut off. The spy lines were being cut off.
So they made a strategic move to leave. And that was the only city they took. History shows you that strategic withdrawals can be very, very effective. The Germans withdrew in 1917 to a big strategic line on the Western Front, and within six months they nearly won the First World War.
So do not, I think it's a mistake. To underestimate Russia and underestimate what they may do. And now they took over the Dnipro River and their bridge, and they're letting people get out.
So I just think it's pretty amazing. I think it's to the West's advantage to watch Russia being cut down to size. If you watch what they were doing in Syria when they went into Georgia, when they took Crimea, they weren't going to stop. If they took 50% of and put their own people into Ukraine, like their people that they had there, they were ousted and they were never the same since. They're going to go right into the Estonias, right into the Baltics and start manipulating their election.
Put my guy in and we won't invade.
Well, you know.
I have to tell you that the resolve of countries like Poland on this is absolute and total. And I don't think Putin's that stupid. Right. When we come back, we come back, Alexandra? You have the final say.
I want to talk about Trump and how Trump was all ahead of this, especially when it came to NATO. And there's quotes in his from Gordon Sundland's book where he said, forget about Nordstrom two. Why do you have Nordstrom I? Back in a moment. Expanding your knowledge base.
It's the Brian Kill Meet Show. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. So Naja Freige wants Republicans to start thinking about basically election reform and stop talking about what went wrong, start thinking positively about just basically taking action. But Naja, you're a friend of President Trump.
You know that he's declared his candidacy already. You know the critics still remain, the investigation's still thriving. What do you think? How is he viewed by you? You're inside here, and you also have a great view from the outside.
Look, he's a fighter. I mean, he's a he's a heavyweight champion. He's the biggest gorilla in the pack. I mean, that's who Trump is. He's not afraid of a brawl.
No, no, he's the ultimate alpha male in many, many ways. Uh the problem is And I've said this to his face, and I said it to CPAC conferences, and I've been screamed and shouted at by some Republicans. If the voters that you need to win elections... are a couple in their early forties. who've both got jobs.
A couple of kids. A dog. A mortgage. They're not really interested in what happened on November the 3rd, 2020. Nobody is.
They want to know. Who is going to, you know, with the cost of living crisis and everything else, they want to know who is on their side. And the genius of Trump. from the moment he walked down the escalator in Trump Tower right through November 16 and beyond, Was he said to the American people, I am on your side, I am your voice, you have been ignored, you have been looked down upon, I am your champion. It was a hell of a message.
It was a powerful Those rich people don't like it. Yeah, there's no question. It was sincere. No, no, no. I mean, you know, he he's Trump is like a blue collar Billy Lair.
I mean, he's an extraordinary guy. But you watch him with ordinary folk. He's brilliant with people. He cares about. He really does care about people.
When you fast forward to where we are to day, I'm not hearing that message. I'm hearing a message. about the establishment, about the whole thing being bent, the whole thing being corrupt.
Well, it is all of those things. And every day, Musk tells us more and more and more about what went on, and we can see how dishonestly this was done. But my urging and I repeat the point is the Republican Party have to become the party of radical reform, of cleaning up the system, of reestablishing faith and trust in election integrity in this country. And they're not grasping that nettle. They're not doing it.
And that I think would be a very positive way to say, look, we're going to sort these elections out. That won't be an issue. Henceforth. But at the minute it's almost like... the Trump camp are kind of saying Kind of not so much we're on your side, but we need you to be on our side.
Do you see what I mean? There's been a slight reversal of that position.
Now, look, don't underestimate Trump. You know, I know DeSantis, super cool, what he's done in Florida. All of it, but you know, Trump is a big heavyweight champion, and to prejudge at this stage would be a mistake.
So you know this too, because there's a lot of candidates you like, but you have to say who's going to get elected. I think the American people are getting very practical on the right. They're saying, hey, he or she might mirror exactly what I want to do, but won't get elected.
So, who is going to be able to get the moderates' independence? And to my side. And maybe, if it's not my number one, but I'll take my number two as long as I don't have to deal with Joe Biden again. Or Gavin Newsome. Yeah, quite.
I mean, look, the one good thing to say. is actually within the Conservative movement in this country there's some talent. You know, there's some people with vision, there's some people with foresight, there's some people who, in the case of DeSantis, have got a great track record in government, given what's happened in Florida. Whereas the other side, You know, but Democrats are virtually talentless. But, but, I will say this to you.
I've been involved in elections for over 30 years. I've been involved in elections in Britain, been involved in elections all over Europe, Australia, all over the world. Unless You sort this voting system out. I think it could be impossible. In 2024, the Republicans to win.
