Democrats say "agile" Biden will win reelection, Trump takes commanding lead over DeSantis

From Haya. Tom Fox. News headquarters in New York City. Always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmead.

Hi everyone, welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kilmey Show. I hope you had a fantastic weekend. Ennis Cantor Freedom will be with us shortly. Ennis was featured in a great special on Fox News last night, The Price and Splendor of Freedom. He talks about coming here, what he was like growing up, the fact he's alienated from his family, and the other thing would be they're trying to kill him.

If he leaves the country, he'll be killed. And then he loses his NBA career because he put on his sneakers. Free Tibet put on his sneakers things like free the Uyghurs, they're being tortured and genocide. They banned the Celtics from being seen in China. And then they banned him from the Celtics.

And now life moves on, but he is Moving on to, he's going to tell his story with us. And we'll take your calls. He appreciates being in America, which is rare these days. Let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. I think we should pay the bills and then negotiate. And we should negotiate on deficit reduction. The last person to leave a surplus was Bill Clinton.

Let's repeal the Trump tax cuts. Let's repeal some of the Bush tax cuts for the very wealthy. Yeah. the Bush tax cuts. All right, so he a couple of things.

Corporate tax rates make us more competitive internationally. Last time, one percent came off the top with Trump. The rest of the stuff cuts were from middle and below. Rocahana, another bank collapse, debt ceiling deadlock, and radio silence from the White House. No deal, making no reinsurance, no reassurance for any of the markets.

Speaker Ken McCarthy did what Dem said was not possible. They got the whole caucus and the House to agree to pass something that would be in exchange for raising the debt ceiling.

Now your move, Mr. President. You have to do something. Number two. I am declaring a state of emergency in our community.

And the reason why we're declaring a state of emergency is to make sure that we can stand up and be prepared for May 11th, May 12th to have public shelter and public housing. Uh, that is Mayor of El Paso, Oscar Lesser. Catastrophe brewing at the border, and real concern the whole border may buckle and break as Title 42 about to evaporate and expire. 20,000 plus await right in the El Paso area to surge. The literal border might not even exist if this doesn't happen.

And the ugly story and a manhunt that's on for the illegal immigrant, five times deported, who went and killed in family that were complaining about him shooting in his backyard. Number one. I think Joe Biden is agile, is capable. His record of leadership both at home and abroad makes him eminently qualified. And we should be focusing some on the wisdom and experience he brings to the job.

Yeah, that is Senator Chris Coons. What person is he talking about? Believe it or not, he's talking about the president. Dems try and put Joe's age and reelection concerns to rest as Trump rides a commanding lead on the right. DeSantis returns home to a big war chest and a plethora of personal attacks.

Plus, it was all a subject of Joe's jokes at the White House correspondence dinner, which some of the stuff seemed pretty funny. But you just wonder if he's going to continue to joke about the fact that he doesn't really do his job or do interviews. That's the only thing that's underneath it is serious stuff. You know, I understand he was serious when it comes to uh reporters that been kept against their will. I get it.

But I don't feel assuaged at all. Neither does the American public that age doesn't matter when it comes to this president. A poll, an ABC poll. 70% of Americans don't want him to run. That includes 51% of Democrats.

And age is the reason 48%. The other is just bad policies. Still, head-to-head with Trump, on the average, he beats Trump by 1.4%. On the economy, thirty five percent approval. That's truly what I hope we focus on.

The economy, turning things around, making us more competitive, getting our fiscal house in order. That would be the key. But for Bernie Sanders, he thinks Joe's going to win in a landslide. Cut three. I think the choice is pretty clear, and that choice is Biden.

And second of all, what I do believe is the Democrats and the President have got to be stronger on working class issues. They've got to make it clear that we believe in a government that represents all, not just the few. Take on the greed of the insurance companies, the drug companies, Wall Street, all the big money interests, and start delivering for working class people. You do that. I think Biden is going to win in a landslide.

Well, he's not doing that. He's not doing anything like that. He's not doing anything, really. For the most part, he's got staff making all decisions, which kind of bothers me because you elect somebody, you think they're going to actually do the job. No one could say that Donald Trump didn't do the job.

No one could say, really, that Barack Obama wasn't doing the job. You couldn't say Bill Clinton didn't do the job. And George W. Bush, you read his book, made all those decisions in collaboration. But the people that got elected in collaboration, what do you care about?

Major problem, for example, in schools. Number one is your economy, according to every poll. Major problem with schools. Schools is three or four. Believe it or not, book banks.

Banning is the number one thing that people are most concerned about. Number two is too much focus on race, 49%. Parents, not enough safe, 48%. Transgender, 48%. But the book banning has got to be defined by Ron DeSantis.

And here's why. He's not banning books. What he's doing is saying there should be certain limitations for elementary school libraries that they shouldn't have sexually explicit material. They shouldn't be telling you you can pick your gender. That's the banning of books, focusing on the stories that have kids learning.

But there's a legitimate concern about the president. Martha Radditz went out to colleges in Pennsylvania and neighboring areas just to talk to people about Biden, and it didn't sound good. Listen to this, cut four. Voted for Biden? I did.

He announced this week, what was your reaction? Regret, disappointment. Frustration. While it's very early in the race, that disappointment and frustration was expressed again and again by young voters we talked to. I think I would go for Biden, but obviously I would prefer a fresher candidate.

He announced this week. Were you excited by that? Not particularly. I'm more interested in a progressive candidate. What do you like about Joe Biden?

Um That he's not Trump. Yeah. And that's it. I mean, if you watch this, if you watch the people poll there, that was it. It's only because he's not Trump, but it doesn't mean that Trump's not going to beat him.

Head to head now, Trump's got doing well. Take a look at this poll.

Now, over the last, I guess, three months, even though he had an indictment handed down, he got a rape trial taking place right now. He's not attending, but they're talking about it. Looks like Joe Tagapina not doing well, trying to rip apart this accuser's credibility. But Trump's was at 43% among Republicans in February. In March it went to fifty four, and April is now at fifty three.

DeSantis was at twenty-eight. It went from twenty-eight in February to twenty-four in March to twenty-one in April. Haley's between six and seven. And then Ra uh Vivek Ramaswamy moving up. But DeSantis can still very much win.

He's not even in. Comes back after an international tour, and let's see what he can put together. He has not really started fighting. The one thing people are critical of him is taking on Disney, but that's part of it, because he took on Disney. These corporate weighings in on different political issues have virtually stopped because of him.

In terms of how you beat Trump. Listen to what Carl Rove said cut eleven.

Well, first they need to articulate a vision that says, I am changing, I'm new and different. I've been a successful governor or successful senator. I've been a successful leader in the private sector. And I've got a vision for the future that causes you to say, you know what, that sounds good. Second of all, they've got to deal with President Trump.

They've got to say, you know what, you did a lot of good things, but you got baggage. You got baggage in the fact that you've been indicted for things, you may be indicted for more things, that you're a controversial figure, and that you failed to do things. You know, you said you'd build the wall.

Well, when you came into office, here's how long the wall was. When you left office, it wasn't much longer. You said you'd take on China, and you get this, you proclaimed that you got this fantastic treaty with China to buy a bunch of our American agricultural products, and it didn't happen. You did nothing to attack China on the issue of stealing our intellectual property, of stealing our ideas and manufacturing processes and science and technology. You didn't do anything about that.

So I appreciate the good things you did, but frankly, we need new leadership that's actually going to get things done, and I've got a demonstrated record in doing that. They're not going to be able to tiptoe around him. They've got to deal with them head-on, and they've got to say, you know, the American people want more than a rerun of 2020, which is exactly where the American people are. I would say this on Karl Rove, and very few times I disagree with him. I think going after Trump on the wall.

Johnny in the swamp. And on China is a dead end. Because everybody know he did everything possible to get that wall built, and then he'd end up repurposing defense fund and rebuilding, refurbishing, and getting total 450 miles. He had wa if he had one more term, he would have done it. But the Republican Congress gave him 1.4 million billion three straight times.

That's not going to do it. You need $10 billion to $15 billion. I don't know why that was the giveaway in order to finance defense. And everybody knows he was doing his best to do the swamp, but he was a one-man machine, and he was the beginning of a trade deal with China before they poisoned the world with the pandemic.

So that's a democratic argument against Trump. That doesn't work. I think with Trump you talk about the different policies you would have. I don't think you criticize much of what he did. You have a different foreign policy if you're Nikki Haley, a different foreign policy.

I thought if you're Ron DeSantis and Governor Sununu, I think you emphasize that. And I think domestically, if you think he spent too much prior to the pandemic, Then t then say where are you going to do it? But I think just saying you spent too much. I remember the four years. You know what he tried to do.

You got to get Congress's support. And when he had the House and said it, he wasn't getting it from Mitch McConnell. And Paul Ryan was not delivering more than $1.4 billion. And he says he couldn't get any more because the Democrats are so dug in that Trump will not walk away with his number one promise, and that's the wall.

So they gave in on that and they thought they'd eventually get it. Trump got tired of waiting.

So I don't think that's a strong argument. But I think you have to argue it. I think you have to say what your area is and get out there and don't be afraid. And I don't think that Ron DeSantis has a choice. Got to get in there quick.

He's got $110 million raised. Trump raised just $51.

So that's his good news. When we come back, I'll take your calls. Also, if you want to write me briankillme.com, you just click on comments and it'll come right to me. Also, 1-866-408-7669. A call.

So glad you're here. Brian, Kill Me Chill. Don't move. Politics, current events, and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say.

He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Killmead. Criminals are empowered right now. Law enforcement, we just can't do what's necessary to protect the American people. And anytime that this administration sends out the clear message that just the act of being in the country illegally is not enough to be deported from the United States, that empowers them even more.

It emboldens them. It allows them to think that they are above the law. And that's what we saw in this particular case. This is a case that never should have happened. We shouldn't have had this person in the United States in the first place.

If we would have done our jobs, if we would have done a better job, this person would not be here and these deaths would not have occurred. And what they're talking about is the shooting death that took place over the weekend. This killer, and the rewards at $80,000, was shooting his gun in the backyard. Evidently, he does it all the time.

So the people next door, the couple next door, have little kids, and they said, listen, can you shoot somewhere else? We're hearing this gunshots go on all day, and we'd like you to stop. And plus, we're getting very nervous. The kids are getting very nervous.

So he basically said, no. He said, all right, I'm going to have to call. The cops. At that time, the guy stood on his porch with a loaded rifle as if he was going to shoot the cops. Then he decides to go next door.

As they go next door, the wife walks out and says, You won't shoot me. You guys stay inside. I won't shoot a woman. He shoots the woman and shoots the kid, tries to shoot the husband, kills five people. Turns out he has been back and forth across our border five separate times.

And there's a man hunt out for this guy, Francisco Orepesa, 38 years old. Among the people dead, an eight-year-old boy in Cleveland, Texas.

So, this is a part of the story that know of the network's reporting: that he's here illegally. He doesn't belong here. No deportation. Noah is saying, guns are a problem. Guns are a problem.

So, the FBI field office is releasing pictures of the guy. He's got a definitive tattoo. My sense is he's out of the country already. Here's an example of how the rest of the media is covering this. CUD 14.

We're going to begin with that massive manhunt after yet another mass shooting in this country, another mass shooting with a semi-automatic weapon. Police say that a man in Cleveland, Texas, killed five of his neighbors Friday night after being asked to stop firing his weapon in his front yard because the baby next door was trying to sleep. They say the suspect, 38-year-old Francisco Oro Pesa, is armed and considered very dangerous. He could be anywhere. Janet Shanlian is outside the sheriff's office with the latest on all this.

Janet, I don't know what's wrong with this country. Good morning. It's happened again, Tony. Here we are again in the United States. There is a manhunt underway in Texas for a suspect accused of killing five of his neighbors.

You get it. I mean, they just don't see it. They see it's the gun. They want that story. I mean, they're not even interested in the trans shooter that shot up everybody in Nashville.

They're saying we got to ban guns and some 20-year-old decides to get a bull. And go to the state house floor, and he becomes the story. What's the story? What warped, sickle mind goes out there and plots and plans to kill children? and finds the one private school that goes in there and perpetrates it, why we've got the manifesto.

But no one even talks about that because they don't want the trans issue and the drugs and the hormones to play a role in that and the fact that this guy was able to get seven guns. Woman. John listening on WDBQ over in Dubois, Iowa. How are you doing? Yeah, it's the Buke, by the way.

Sorry about that. No problem. Hey, uh I'd I've been listening to uh what was going on what's been going on in uh in in Washington, DC. And I think right now I already know who the people that I'm not going to vote for. and one of them is the president.

Um He made a challenge in his State of the Union address to check records to see what a wonderful job he's done.

So I did that. And I checked my gas bill. From January of 2021, which is the first month of his presidency. and compared it to my january twenty twenty three gas bill. which are both on budget pay since my wife and I are both in our eighties and re you know, on a fixed income and find out that my gas bill has increased Over 150 percent.

Yeah, John, nobody talks about that. I'm so glad you brought it up. People talk about what's at the pump. What about the gas? What about the natural gas going to your house?

It's unbelievable what's happened. That affects everybody's paycheck. More people have Worked all their lives to have a home to live in, like we did as a retired people, or the low and middle income people who are out there busting their butts every day trying to make a living for their families. and have something like this happen, which just increases the the cost of their living. on stuff that's necessary, heat, food, hot water.

Thanks a lot, John. Appreciate it. And I'm going to add something else to this. You have those heating costs going up, the inflation that's still present. You have these surrogates talking about Joe Biden bringing inflation down 40%.

It was at 9%.

Now it's at 5%. It was at 1.4% when Donald Trump was president, when Barack Obama was president, when Bill Clinton and George Bush were president.

So you jack it up, you cut it in half, and you want credit for a 40% decrease? Under what country is this about? And what is really maddening is this mortgage program that he's jamming down our throats. If you worked hard to have good credit, make your payments on time or not charge a credit, overcharge a credit card because you want to make sure your credit remains sterling to get that mortgage in order to save your 15% to get that house, you're going to have to pay a fee on top of that. Those with great credit ratings and unable to put down enough down payment will be paying a fee to help those with bad credit who can't afford a down payment.

That's socialism. I all know we know about taxes, we know about fees, but you are directly punishing people for doing the right thing. If that doesn't get you unelected, I don't know what is. When we come back, we talk about freedom in America, appreciation for this nation, and his canter freedoms here, what he sacrificed, what he did, his new Fox Nation special, and we'll talk a little basketball too. Information you want, truth you demand.

This is the Brian Kill Me Show. His horizons were bigger than just being a basketball player. You know, you got to talk about him as a human being who is not afraid to tell the truth, to stand his ground, to put a line in the sand and say, I'm not caring about what I'm giving up. I'm going to do the right thing, and I'm going to be the right guy, and I'm going to say the right things, and tell you what I truly believe. That's who he is.

He's always been that. He's been through a lot of stuff now. And he's weathered all storms. And I get he's not happy with How this is ending, and I'm not happy for him either. But in the same light, I'm so proud of what he's become and who he's become.

John Calapari recruited Ennis Cantor to Kentucky because of some issues back in. Turkey with when he got paid when he was 16. They had problems with eligibility with the NCAAs, but he finished the season. They became friends. And John Calapari, one of the people speaking on the Fox News special, Fox Nation special, that was on last night on Fox News, The Price and Splendor of Freedom, longer version on Fox Nation Now, and with me in studio, Ennis Cantor Freedom.

Ennis, welcome. Thank you for having me. This is the first show you were on at Fox, wasn't it? Yes, I was. You remember?

I do remember.

Now, what do you know? You had a sucker. It's a soccer ball here. I still have it. You still have it?

I still have it. I still remember it. Because you did play soccer. I did play soccer. I love soccer.

Yeah, and they just said, you know, Ennis Cantor wants to come up and do the show. I go, that's great. And you weren't with the Knicks at the time, were you? You had been traded. Actually, yes, that's correct.

Yeah. Where were you? It was before the Celtics. You were in Portland. Portland, yep, it was in Portland.

Did you like your time over there? I actually do. I mean, it was a very peaceful, obviously, city. Not a lot of press. No, not a lot of press.

I mean, it's like nature amazing. It rains every day. That's like the only talent for it. They had talent. Yes.

Beautiful. Amazing, the best donuts in America. Donuts. Best donuts in America. How do you have no body fat?

I know, I know.

So, when I was a rookie, it was one of my rookie duties to bring my teammates' donuts everywhere I go. You know, so every road game, I was trying to find a donut shop to bring my teammates' donuts. Oh, okay. That was your hazing. That was my hazing, yes.

So, this, what did you think of your special last night? Oh, it was amazing. Oh, my God. I cannot thank the Fox family enough. You know, it was the first.

time that I actually like because I did a lot of interviews before. It was the first time that I actually sit down and told my whole story. But seeing Coach Cal, you know, seeing my American family Because you left Turkey for a better opportunity and then you get there. But how did you line up with a sponsor family? Who did that for you?

So I had a like a kind of like a life coach. He put me in touch with them. And then I went to their house for the first time. I'm like, you guys have an American flag in front of your house? They said, oh, yes.

I was like, This is not an embassy. Why do you guys have an American flag in front of your You didn't even speak good English, but no, I did not. They said, Well, because we love our country. I was like, Hmm, interesting. You know?

So I was like, Charlie gets to learn everything about you know, about them, about America. Because you grew up and they told you in school, America is as evil as it can. Oh my goodness. I mean, l like I said again, like frontal classes, they have American flags, they have Israeli flags. You have you have to step on them.

If you don't, then you're not allowed to attend any of the classes. You have to walk over them like floor mats. Exactly.

So you go in there w and you went to school in Turkey, they're supposed to be an ally. They're a NATO ally. They I mean, they are a NATO ally. I mean, they're not really a NATO ally. I mean, they're more Russian ally than American ally at this point.

So it wasn't like that your whole life or it was. I'm trying to think I mean I don't think he was, but like with since Erdogan, the pre Turkish president came to office, I mean more Russian ally than American ally.

So you end up going from uh Turkey to where? Um so Turkey, I came here for uh prep school. To Simi Valley, California. Then I went to college in Kentucky, couldn't get to play. Then I got drafted by Utah Jazz in 2011.

And you joined the jazz. How'd that go? It was amazing, actually. It was, I played it three and a half years, Mormon, amazing people, you know, very peaceful city. If you like skiing, it's a good idea.

But you had to develop as a player because you didn't have that year in college to develop.

So you had to get better. I was rusty, actually. Like very rusty. And also, when I got drafted, we had a lockout year.

So we I couldn't play like a few months.

So like I couldn't play high school because of you know, this eligibility stuff. No college because of, you know, NCAA and now I couldn't get to play basketball in NBA.

So I was so frustrated. I'm like, am I ever gonna get to play basketball in this country? But then lockout was over. I started playing basketball. It was the best time.

Yeah, um so you uh Six eleven, seven foot.

So I remember when you came to the Knicks afterwards. And everyone loved you. I mean, they just loved you because you hustle. I mean, your energy was unbelievable, but they had no talent. After a while, they just said, Ennis, you're too good.

Take a seat, which is tanking. I don't believe it. I remember Coach called me in his room one day. I was like, What did I do? He's like, Listen, this is what happens when you're a good player playing in a bad team.

You know, from now on, we're going to try to get a good draft pick.

So, we're going to sit you. And it was my contract year. I was like, I cannot believe these people literally telling me they're going to tank, you know?

So for the.

Next eight games that I was sitting on the bench and the whole fans they were chanting, We Want Cancer.

So they put so much pressure on them and then they released me that I san with Portland. And then you sound with Portland. Yeah. And then from Portland to the Celtics. Celtics, yeah.

Yeah, and then with Celtics, you you're playing every game. Every game. Until you did what? Till I started talking about China. You know, it's Until I start wearing the shoes, which has no any kind of rule against it.

Because during the bubble, all the players were wearing like Black Lives Matter, Breonna Taylor, Black Liver Black Revolution. I'm like, okay, well, I guess there's no rule against it. If that is a human right issue, this is a human rights issue too. You know, for sending out for Tibetans, Uyghurs, Hong Kongers, Taiwanese people. But they knew that it's going to hit their pocket.

So they're like, goodbye. Right.

So Adam Silver says he didn't know about it, right? But when you talked to him, he said, well, I didn't know that the Celtic, they immediately took the Celtics out of China. There's two options. He's either terrible. You know, Commissioner, or he's just lying.

I think he was just lying. He's just lying. There's no way he did just.

So when you saw wearing these, they said, listen, they didn't play you the whole game. Yep. And then we lost the game. And free Tibet. We lost the game.

And you said you wouldn't. Yeah, you lost the game, obviously.

So then they say, don't wear any of those sneakers again. You said you won't, but you wore different sneakers.

Well, I just didn't want to lie to you. I was like, you know what? I promise I'm not going to wear free Tibet shoes ever again. They said, promise. I said, promise.

So we hang up the phone.

So the next game, I wore free Uyghur shoes.

So after the game, they called me. They said, you're a liar. You lied to us. You're a cheater. I was like, first of all, I never lied to you.

I did not wear free Tibet shoes. I just wore free Uyghur shoes. Not many people know after the third or fourth game, Daryl Maury called me. He's the guy the GM actually like for the first time he tweeted and said stand with Hong Kong. Yeah, Darrell Morley was the GM at Houston, who's now the GM of Philadelphia.

And he says he didn't he retweets just said Uh he did. Yeah. That's literally what he said, and it cost NBA a hundred and fifty million dollars.

So after that, NBA put a statement out there and said, We care about free speech, we care about our employee, whatever.

So he called me, he said, Listen, NBA made me took my tweet down, they made me apologize, they made me put some, you know, false statements out there. You don't apologize, you don't put no false statements, you keep doing what you're doing because you're the only athlete who's speaking out about these issues. Wow. I was like, I cannot believe it. Have you told that story before, the Terror Morale Constance?

Not much, actually. Wow. I should. He should. Is he okay with you telling that?

I don't think so. That's what I'm like. Right.

But he told you he didn't say don't tell anybody. Exactly, yeah. Because maybe he does want you to say it because he feels bad. He didn't want to sacrifice his entire career for that. You know, maybe, I don't know.

He did a great job in Houston. They have not been the same since. Exactly.

And now Philadelphia suddenly found their spine and they're contending.

So he obviously knows what he's doing. Yeah, I mean, he's an amazing GM. I actually met him face to face in one of the events. He's actually a very brave person.

Well, you know what? It would be very good for him to say, hey, we could probably use a 6'11 guy coming off the bench. 30 years old. They do. Joel MB got hurt.

Yeah. He will be out probably the first game of the playoff series against the Celtics. Right.

So, like, that will be my dream to go against the team that I actually. That did that release me.

So it'll be, I don't know, we'll see what what happens. Yeah, here's here's this is your manager talking about what you'd sacrifice, cut forty. I'm a firm believer at the end of the day Decency prevails. This is a guy who sacrificed his life. He's fighting against governments when he doesn't need to.

He can just collect his paycheck. He was never about the money. Never. He just truly did not care, which is why he donated everything. He lives a very humble lifestyle.

So but did he try to convince you not to do this? I mean, he's he loves basketball. He's like, are you sure you want to do this? You sure this is the path that you want to go to? I was like, listen, man, this is bigger than myself, bigger than basketball, bigger than NBA.

We got to do this because while we are comfortably playing basketball in this country, on the other side of the world, You know, there's a genocide happening. Two three million Muslims are in concentration camps getting torture and rape every day. And no one talking about it. Harvesting their organs. Exactly.

And that's what you wrote on your shoes was then too. Stop organ harvest. Are you convinced that you're not going to be in training camp next year? I am like almost 100% sure. And does he still call the teams to make sure they haven't budged?

I mean, especially the ones like Philadelphia.

Well, I had an agent, so he's a manager. Right.

So in basketball, there's a m manager and there's an agent.

So my agent. We drop each other. Oh, he doesn't even represent me anymore because I don't even have an agent with working with me.

So here's Adam Silver on you wearing sneakers, Cut 41. You're not breaking any rule in terms of the shoes. There's no rule I'm aware of that you're violating that. Look, at the end of the day, we're also a business.

So that was a little bit his phone call to you? Yes. So I mean, he's even like admitted and say at the end, we are a business.

So he is saying that. But, you know, when I wore the shoes, the MBPA, the Player Association, actually, which I give thousands of dollars every month to protect my rights against NBA, called me and said, MBA is pressuring us to not wear those shoes ever again. If you do, we are going to change rules so no one can put anything on their shoes.

So they were talking about changing the whole rule just because of my shoes. Right.

That's how crazy it got. You know, a lot of people wouldn't take Black Lives Matter off their shoes. They'll say that there's more repression. That would have been uh that was a total head fake.

So those some of the things that have happened. You're how old? Thirty one? Thirty. Yeah.

So you got at least five years left. When I did that, I was twenty-nine. Right, and here's the crazy thing. Is that a lot of people say, well, go play in Europe, go play in Japan, your brother's in Japan. Yes.

But that's a problem. You traveling to Europe is an issue, security-wise.

Well um I can only stay in a country more than three days. I cannot stay in a country more than three days. Because I had a conversation after this whole bouncy news, I had a conversation with FBI, with some of my other friends. They said, When you go there, first of all, do not post anything about it. To wait till you leave.

And then after that, they said, you know, you cannot stay in a country more than three days. Wow. So I want to talk about Turkey when we come back because I was hoping Erdogan would die because he evidently had some type of breakdown on camera. There's a big election coming up. He is not a friend of the United States.

He's more of a friend of Russia. And yet he remains a member of NATO, stopping Sweden from coming on board. When we come back, more with Ennis Cantor Freedom. And can I just talk about one thing? Basketball?

It's going to be great to see the Lakers in Golden State Warriors. Oh, my God. That's going to be the best series. I cannot wait. Lower seeds who waited for the postseason to start playing.

Back in a moment. Learning something new every day on the Brian Killmead Show. From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Killmead. In many parts of the world, including parts of the world that people might think are relatively similar to the United States, the speech laws are plutonium. England is quite different.

I won't name any country. Why are we protecting them? They have no First Commandment. It's very easy to prove libel in England, whereas here it's Holocaust. I love England, but.

And you too. But I wouldn't want to say the wrong thing. You could be sued easier. In France, I think if you deny the Holocaust, which I think is abhorrent, but I also think it should be part of free speech, you can be thrown into jail. I really can't emphasize this enough.

We must protect free speech. And free speech only matters, it's only relevant when it's someone you don't like. saying something is like because Obviously, for speech that you like is easy. The thing about censorship is that for those who would advocate it, just remember, at some point, that will be turned on you. That is Elon Musk with Bill Moore.

on a show. Ennis Cantor is here. Two E's, starting that you obviously, your last name is Freedom. You agree with that? Of course.

Yeah, and the difference is even democracies a little bit different. But Elon Musk, speaking out, what he found, I don't know if you've been following the Twitter files, when he found out the role the government was playing, the FBI was doing, that Democrats were doing with that social media outlet, most likely like Facebook, that's devastating. It is very devastating. I mean, I do try to follow a little bit, obviously, because of the language. It's a little tough for me, but I think what they were doing is pretty much like censorship, right?

Right.

And it's like, I cannot believe this is happening in America. Suppressing your tweet or somebody else's tweet. The most freest country in the world is happening in America. And we keep talking about our First Amendment, freedom of speech. Right.

China, they took the Boston Celtics. off China because of that.

So now you have a situation Uh, we have uh a situation right now in this country where we're debating about who's going to be next, who's going to be the next one to lead our country. But in China in particular, they have the Uyghurs. It seems like the whole world forgot about them. Is there any representation working the refs in Congress about the Uyghurs?

So, that was the one topic, like you said, was just really blowing my mind. All the Muslim leaders out there, Middle East or anywhere in the world, was talking about all the problems were happening to all the Muslim issues. But when it comes to one specific topic, Uyghurs, they're silent because they're scared of China. But yes, I do have so many conversations with many of the brave congressmen and senators in America that we are trying to figure it out because talking about it is good, it brings awareness. And we are always like, What can we do to bring actually some concrete actions?

Right.

So, we're trying to pass some legislation, some bills to help those people over there. Turkey, Erdogan, had like a breakdown. On television, and you say the whole talk in the Middle East is this Turkish election because Erdogan is not going to step aside and he will lose. I mean, if there is fair elections, he is going to lose. I had many conversations with so many leaders, and they said fair elections, he's losing because six parties in Turkey came together to just go against one.

They're that sick of him. But I mean, he's blocking international observers, and many people believe that there is not going to be any fair elections in Turkey.

So I I'm just praying for my country at this point. Right.

When is it? May 14th. May 14th. So coming up, and that will be great for NATO, too. You got to figure the next leader is going to be a better leader.

I want you to hear tap into basketball for a second. As you know, Giannis and the button number one seed, Milwaukee Bucks lost. Yeah. And this is what he said in the post-game press conference. Do you view this season as a failure?

Do you get a promotion every year on your job? No, right?

So every year you work is a failure? Yes or no? No. Every year you work, you work towards something, towards a goal, which is to get a promotion, to be able to take care of your family, provide the house for them, or take care of your parents. You work towards a goal.

It's not a failure. It's steps to success. Marco Jordan played 15 years, won six championships. The other nine years was a failure. That's what you're telling me.

There's no failure in sports. You know, there's good days, bad days.

Some days you are able to be successful, some days you're not.

Some days it's your turn, some days it's not your turn. And that's what sports is about. You don't always win. Simple as that. You're going to come back next year, try to be better, try to build good habits.

You know, hopefully you're going to be able to do that.

So even if that came from meager means selling in the street, how do you mean you got to have good days and bad days, but you can never ever give up on your dreams. Like you said, I mean, there is no failure. But they were the number one seed. Yes. Well, that is a.

Kind of like a failure, that is one. But two, but you always learn. You always gain some kind of experience, you know, because they were the number one seed and they relaxed. They thought they were focusing on the championship. They were not focusing on that current, you know, playoff games, but and they lost.

Well, now next year, they're going to learn about, you know, focusing on the games that had a year, not the championship. 15 seconds. Lu says it's going to be Warriors, Lakers. How do you feel about that? Hall of Famers everywhere.

I'm just going I'm going with Warriors. A lot of experience, a lot of shooting. I don't think the Lakers can stop them. Nick's Heat? I think I'm going to go with.

I'm going to go with heat. All right. Annes Canter Freedom. We're going to watch your show on Fox Nation, The Price of Splendor of Freedom. Annis, thanks so much.

Thank you for having me. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. Hi everyone, welcome. Come to you from 48th and 6th in Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, heard around the world.

So glad you're here. Hope you had a fantastic weekend. If you're in the northeast, you were indoors because it was raining just hard enough where to, you stare out the, when you have three dogs like I do, you stare at the front door and go, wait a second, is it worth it to get some of these energy off my three dogs and go in the rain? Is it that hard where they're going to come out soaked and I'll be just. Cursing myself for bringing a wet dog in the house.

And that's basically, I found my openings, was able to get the puppy out. Still, the puppy, still over a year old, acts like he's six weeks old. All they do is want to play, which I appreciate the enthusiasm for life, but I do want to get on with my life, and I have other things I want to do than play. Number two is: I hope everybody had a great weekend. We're back in action.

Just know the best is yet to come because it is May 1st, so spring is more than here.

So, before we get to Michael Goodwin, let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. I think we should pay the bills and then negotiate. And we should negotiate on deficit reduction. The last person to leave a surplus was Bill Clinton.

Let's repeal the Trump tax cuts. Let's repeal some of the Bush tax cuts for the very wealthy. There you go. A Rocahana. Another bank collapse, debt ceiling, deadlock, radio silence for the White House.

No dealmaking, no reassurance, as Speaker McCarthy defies everybody's challenge and says, Yeah, I got my fractured Republican caucus to agree on a criteria for raising the debt ceiling. You're served, Mr. President. You have to hit the ball. Number two.

I am declaring a state of emergency in our community. And the reason why we're declaring a state of emergency is to make sure that we can stand up and be prepared for May 11th, May 12th to have public shelter and public housing. catastrophe brewing at the border and real concern that the whole border may buckle as Title forty two is about to expire. twenty thousand plus away to Mexico right by El Paso. And a man hunt out for an illegal alien who murdered a family simply to ask who asked him to stop shooting his gun and waking their infant.

Number one. I think Joe Biden is agile, is capable. His record of leadership both at home and abroad makes him eminently qualified. And we should be focusing some on the wisdom and experience he brings to the job. Oh my goodness.

I've never heard such ridiculous spin. That is Chris Coons. 2024. Dems try and put Joe's age and reelection concerns to rest as Trump rides a commanding lead on the right. DeSantis returns home to a big war chest and a plethora of personal attacks.

Plus, how was it all a subject? How was it all a subject of Joe's jokes at the White House Correspondence Center? You know how he doesn't really do his job and how he's old, that type of thing. Michael Goodwin joins us now for the New York Post. He talks about how basically the Democratic Party is doing to Dianne Feinstein what they might end up doing to Joe Biden as they try to showcase an inept vice president, Kamala Harris.

Welcome back, Michael. Good morning, Brian. Thank you.

Well, first off, the President is comfortable enough to mock the fact that he doesn't really work much. Yeah, look, he and he's with his base, right, the media. Um there he is. Comfortable. There are no secrets among friends like that.

They know it. They just don't want to report on it. They don't want to tell the truth about Joe Biden. You would find it hard-pressed, Brian, in the New York Times to find any example of his forgetfulness, of his stepping on his lines, nudging little girls, smelling their hair. You won't find any of that stuff in there.

You'll find almost nothing about Hunter Biden in there either. I mean, this is not the media that covers, it's the media that covers up. No question. Here's, for example, him taking a shot at Marjorie Taylor Green, cut 35. Folks, it's wonderful to be back here again, proving I haven't learned a damn thing.

I want everybody to have. Fun tonight, but please be safe. If you find yourself disoriented or confused, it's either you're drunk. Or Marjorie Taylor Greene. Nice, right?

Yeah. Look, I mean, i this is another there's a brilliance here, Brian. Everybody knows Marjy Marjorie Taylor Greene's name, right? Because the media has held her up as a symbol of the Republican Party. But is there any is there any corresponding symbol of the Democratic Party?

Are there no nut jobs in there? How about Maxine Waters, for example, right? Did is she held up as any kind of symbol of the Democratic Party? Or how about Rashida Tlaib or Elon Omar? It's only the media only picks out sort of the one far, far out Republican that it can find, the most in that breed.

And then holds them up as a symbol of the entire party.

Well, if that's fair, then Elon Omar is the classic Democrat. And we should and Maxine Waters. And we should all just think of them. When we think of the Democratic Party, think of Elon Omar or Maxine Waters.

Well, keep in mind, she was featured on 60 Minutes, their first guest. And I'm thinking to myself, why? They find her intriguing. She's going to run for president. No, they try to mock her.

That was the whole thing. And they wanted to make her the symbol or the face of the Republican Party, which she is not. She's fine for her district, I guess. But to me, I don't see her making the country better. I don't see her trying to do the best for her party.

I think people are trying to placate her as a wild card. I really don't think she makes much sense. But that's, I really don't have any use for people that try to use this position to get famous. I think a lot of people are doing that.

So yesterday, Chris Coons and Bernie Sanders are out telling everybody how competent Joe Biden is, but no one buys it. 34% of the country. Thinks his economy is good. 70% of the country doesn't want him to run again, but he is. Martha Raditz went out to Pennsylvania to talk to some younger people about Joe Biden, cut for.

And you. Voted for Biden? I did. He announced this week: what was your reaction? Regret, disappointment.

Frustration. While it's very early in the race, that disappointment and frustration was expressed again and again by young voters we talked to. I think I would go for Biden, but obviously I would prefer a fresher candidate. He announced this week. Were you excited by that?

Uh Not particularly. I'm more interested in a progressive candidate. What do you like about Joe Biden? Yeah. I mean this was on ABC.

So everybody knows if they did that for Obama Clinton, you know they would have had certain people that were passionate about him. But he doesn't do anything as a president, and all he could do is grade on results. And no matter what he tells us, it's not going to make the economy better, the Afghanistan anything less than a disaster. You know, Brian, I I think Joe Biden's um Performance as President. and the public reaction to it.

To me, there's a great divergent. And I think the public relations aspect of what the media has done. Is given Joe Biden a patina of a good and decent man. right, of a of a of a hard worker, of a serious I mean it's He is the most corrupt president we've ever had in my lifetime. I mean, he has gotten rich.

offer selling access to his positions. There's no question about that. And this good and decent image that he has I mean, talk to anybody who deals with him face to face. I mean, it is a great coup that his image of the lunch pail candidate, the guy from Scranton, all of that stuff, none of it is reality. His policies do not reflect any of that.

His policies have smash the middle class straight in the nose. Uh and yet He gets away with it. I mean, again, I am just fixated on this idea of the media has made Joe Biden into something he's not. It has distorted our politics to where it's beyond recognition. But they all celebrated each other on Saturday night, so who cares, right?

They're having their own little party. Yeah, I didn't go. And I usually love to go, but over the last few years, I just don't have the stomach for it.

So a couple of things, you know what's happening right now? His son, Hunter, is in a courtroom trying to get to lessen his alama, lessen his child support payments for a kid that he had, that he denies having, that wants to prevent from having his name, and that the father, the father and grandfather in this case, don't even acknowledge. And as Jonathan Turley wrote, they hung Stockings for the cat? and the dog and the rest of the grandchildren, but not her, this with this young four year old named Navy. And the other thing so just keep in mind, that's the type of family it is, and that's the type of guy he is.

Look, and that's the if you talk to people in Delaware. I mean, they're all afraid of the Bidens. Right? I was talking to somebody down there who said, you know, I'd love to tell you what I know, but if I do, I'm sure I'll get audited by the IRS. Uh I mean, that's that's the kind of Family, it is.

And when Joe Biden says nobody Fs with a Biden, as he said off camera to somebody that was picked up by a microphone, there's truth to that. I mean, they are that they inspire fear that they will use the power of the government to come after you. And that that is not something we would hope for in a president. And the idea that Joe Biden can ever unite this country or even cares about those who don't vote for him and those who disagree with him, it's a fiction. And it's just he's gotten away with it for so long that now it's become almost a You know, a part of his own shtick.

I mean, he's adopted it. It is what keeps his head above water. And look, I mean, you and I, we talk about the policies, we talk about the impact of the policies. You know, when he says, I came here and inflation was bad, he makes that stuff up and gets away with it because the media never holds him accountable the way it would a Republican president. You know, I watched one of the surrogates yesterday, McCaskill, say he's brought inflation down 40 percent.

Really? From the 9 percent to 5 percent, it was at 1.8 percent when he took over. What kind of spin is that? That's exactly my point. And yet, you know, more people heard Claire McCaskill say that.

then understand the truth. Or that who are that? Capture and remember how things were before Joe Biden came into office. I mean, look, there's a lot of disinformation being spread. I mean, that's a new famous word, a new favorite word of the media.

But the media is the primary spread. Of disinformation, the mainstream media, Claire McHaskell being a perfect example. All right, so there's something else going on. People want to know the Hunter Biden, how it relates to the presidency.

Well, how about some of the deals that he made with other countries affecting foreign policy? James Comer, who will be on my show later, says there's six separate things that relate directly to business dealings. And then we find out Anthony Blinken shows up in the Hunter Biden laptop with the emails, the correspondence. Anthony Blinken is tighter, it seems, by these emails with Hunter than he is with Joe. And Ron Johnson said this is a direct lie that Anthony Blinken told him in his confirmation hearing.

Listen to what he said yesterday: CUD 26. Anthony Blinken finally did come in to sit down for a voluntary transcribed interview in December of 2020 because he wanted to be Secretary of State. We know that he lied bold-faced to Congress about never emailing Hunter Biden. My guess is he told a bunch of other lies that hopefully we'll be able to bring him and his wife back in, tell them to preserve their records.

So, just to be clear, you just said you believed Anthony Blinken lied to you under oath. Yes, he did. He said he did not email Hunter Biden, and now we have those emails. Dozens of emails.

So there's a relationship here.

So is the Secretary of State allowing these international businesses? Did he help Hunter Biden set up some of these? Because he was Deputy Secretary of State under the previous administration? By the way, John McCain thought he was a total clown.

So was he using some of that influence as a State Department member?

Now that question has to be asked. It's certainly Yeah. And don't forget the the more The time before that, that Blinken was in the news had to do with the 2020 letter from the 51 intelligence officers.

So you have Anthony Blinken playing all kinds of political roles in order to get to be Secretary of State. I mean, he's got to be sort of a fact to them for the Biden family, it seems, helping the Biden family, helping Hunter with his businesses, helping Joe lie about those businesses to and the laptop to the intelligence officials who put out that phony letter. Blinken's got a lot of explaining to do. I think so, too.

So you do and you call him real quick. You believe that Senator Diane Feinstein cruelly put out the past year, even offended Nancy Pelosi. But the way Rocahana and everybody else is going after him, all they care about is the judge confirmations. And Mitch McConnell said, no, I'm standing up for her, I'm friends with her. Plus, he's in no rush to give them a 10-9 advantage in these committees.

No, you don't. I mean I thought this was a A fascinating story. a great example of the left eating its own. Uh the way they've gone after Diane Feinstein, who's uh in was in the hospital and is recovering. She's 89, she's clearly got some health issues, but there's a viciousness about the attacks on her, trying to force her out of office.

Uh because they Because of the cause, and the cause in this case is more far-left judges. She's on the Judiciary Committee. You can't replace someone easily. Without her, it's 10 to 10. Without a majority vote, you cannot advance to the full Senate.

Therefore, you've got a backlog of far-left judges, and they're trying to force her to resign from the Senate so Gavin Newsom can appoint a far-left person. He said it'll be a black woman, more racist, you know, Thinking about equality. It's got to be a black woman. That's who he's going to appoint. And therefore, the Democrats can confirm all of these far-left judges.

I mean, this is how Washington works these days. It's not about merit. It's not about anything other than race and politics and just victimization constantly. Look, I think that they're going to do this on Joe Biden, too. And I think that's a significance of what we're seeing with the attacks on Feinstein.

It is a dry run for how Democrats will drive Joe Biden out to make Kamala Harris president. Michael Goodwin, thanks so much. We're all going to be watching, and then we see what happens on the right. Don't miss a minute. Thank you, Brian.

Michael Goodwin, great. Your calls next. Brian Kilmicho, so glad you're here. A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show.

I get that age is completely reasonable issue. It's in everybody's mind and everyone. By everyone, I mean the New York Times. Headline: Biden's advanced aid is a big issue. Trump's, however, is not.

So that was the New York Times pitch spot, I apologize. What'd he say? What was that last part? That was the New York Times? Good job.

I think so I apologize, pit spot. I don't know. He slurs everything, but I mean, Eric, did you understand what he meant? And you have the audio, right? Didn't catch it.

But it's the thing that if you really want to press it. It's not your age, it's you. Because I don't have a problem with Donald Trump's age. You might have a problem with Donald Trump, but nobody thinks it's because he's old. Nobody thinks Bernie Sanders because he's old.

No one thinks the CEO of Ken Langohn, if you watch him on TV, he's older than that. No one thinks that Ken Langohn is like, they know he's old, but they think he's. The NYU Medical Center tomorrow, which is named after him. It's him. I mean, if you really want to press me on it, it's not your age, it's the way you're acting.

Who and your age is probably a factor. But my goodness You couldn't do worse and really be set to get reelected, but some think he will be. A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmead. Hey, we are back, and with me right now is Congressman James Comer, one of the busiest guys in Washington, House Oversight Committee chairperson.

There's a lot to oversee.

So, the big story today, I imagine, Congressman, is seeing when Hunter Biden goes to court to try to lessen his. Child support payments. And in return, they're going to have to expose some bank records. What are you going to be looking for to find out if he's really as broke as he says he is?

Well One thing we've not been able to dive into yet is how much money he's making on his artwork. much less who's been buying the artwork. We're We That fear That special interest groups, or even worse, the Chinese Communist Party are basically laundering money through the art world like they normally do and getting that to the Bidens. What we know from the bank records that we have on some of the LLCs. prior to Joe Biden becoming president.

Is that Hunter Biden was the ringleader in his family and you setting up all these mysterious LLCs and bank accounts everywhere and laundering millions of dollars in the Biden family bank account.

So it's pretty interesting for me as someone who has access to the Biden bank records and seeing how many millions of dollars This guy's taken from our adversaries, and then he was trying to. To cheat on his child support payments. I mean, that says a lot about the Biden family. It does. I mean, if his dad might be, for his own political career, hey, Hunter, clean this up.

This is a mess. You know, and by the way, I'd like to see my granddaughter. That might be a human reaction. Political reaction would be like, What are you doing? You're going to start exposing more financial records that somehow he's related to, according to people like Tony Bobolinski.

And many people point to BHR. He has 10% in that Chinese equity firm, and he gave it to Kevin Morris, who paid his tax bill. Can you imagine that? You have a $2 million pax bill, and he paid it or loaned it to him. And now, the question would be: when he sold his 10%, the range would be from $420,000 to $20 million.

Do you have as many questions as I do on this? Absolutely. Absolutely. And I think you're going to see very soon a lot of the things that Hunter Biden has claimed with respect to divesting interest in some of these Business interests he had with China and some of the schemes he had with China where he said he never got any money. I think you're going to see very soon that.

Hunter hasn't been truthful.

So I'm going to see. I'm anxious to see what the. what the income level is since Joe Biden's been president because what the Democrats and their friends and the media try to claim is: well, none of this money happened while Joe Biden was president or vice president, which, Brian, is not true. And you'll stay tuned for that. But that's the talking point that the White House gives the media and their defenders in Congress.

But you can argue. over the last two years since he's become an artist, since my the president, That there's a lot of fishy business taking place with just his artwork alone, much less whether or not he's still getting payments from China. I mean, put it this way: when George Bush was president, I never really saw the rest of the family, Neil Bush, Jeb Bush, and they weren't involved in controversy. I mean, we're seeing Hunter Bush is almost in your face. He's in the White House, walking around, traveling with Europe, being his caddy there, as if to say, you can't touch me.

But you point out a couple of things. Number one, more emails surfaced last week that I saw last week that shows that there's a link between Anthony Blinken and Hunter. It sounds like they are extremely tight. The couples are tight. He's writing emails to Anthony Blinken's wife.

What's the significance of those emails that stood out with you? Because it seems that he was tapping into his State Department contacts. Yeah, exactly. And remember what Blinken did prior to becoming president? He was on the payroll at the Biden Center for Diplomacy, along with Joe Biden, which we're trying to get the records from that to see who the donors were.

But we know that the Chinese Communist Party had donated at least $20 to $40 million to the University of Pennsylvania.

So the relationship with the Blinkens goes back a long time, and it goes back with the Chinese Communist Party a long time, which this should be concerning to every American in the media. But what you said about Hunter being seen with his dad in Ireland and at state dinners and all this just shows the arrogance and entitlement of this family. They believe with all their heart that they're going to get away with the perfect crime, and that is the perfect influence peddling crime, where everyone in the world knows what they've done, but yet nothing's going to happen to them. Because the Congress is on their side and the media is on their side, and that's just not the case. When I'm sitting there watching the clips from the White House Correspondence Center and reading the stories about it, They say, well, you know, the one thing that concerns Democrats are the president's age or whatever.

I mean, what about the corruption? I mean, this is the most corrupt White House in my lifetime. And we're releasing bank records and we're talking about Biden family members getting wires from China. And yet, the media just says, oh, it's no big deal. And isn't it great that his son is with him and helping him get around?

I mean, it's just mind-boggling how pitiful. The mainstream media is. It's true. And so Senator Ron Johnson was moving on this investigation when the Republicans had the majority in the Senate. As soon as they lost the Georgia election, no one was interested in pursuing this.

So that's why when you guys won, this is your lane.

So he knew about Anthony Blinken, it seems, relationship with Hunter, but evidently he denied it that he has any interaction.

So listen to what Ron Johnson said yesterday, Cut 26. Anthony Blinken finally did come in and sit down for a voluntary transcribed interview in December of 2020 because he wanted to be Secretary of State. We know that he lied boldface to Congress about never emailing Hunter Biden. My guess is he told a bunch of other lies that hopefully we'll be able to bring him and his wife back in, tell them to preserve their records.

So just to be clear, you just said you believe Anthony Blinken lied to you under oath. Yes, he did. He said he did not email Hunter Biden, and now we have those emails. Does and he wants you to subpoena him and make him answer that. Have you and will you?

I think the odds of that happening are very good. And you know, right now, You're going to see some more movement in the next seven to ten days from the Oversight Committee with respect to bank records. And with what Senator Johnson said about blinking lying to Congress under oath, you're going to see a lot of lies. uh that are going to come out from the Biden family, from their lawyers. And it's going to be interesting to see how the mainstream media covers this because it's.

There's clearly a pattern of this family, not just influence peddling, but lying about it. And the problem we have is we're spending tax dollars left and right. Our national security is at risk. Because of China, because what China's doing with Russia and Ukraine, because what China's threatening to do with Taiwan, because China's going and buying all sorts of important. Companies in Africa and all over the world that threaten our national security.

But this family is getting money from China. When they're our number one adversary, and it doesn't seem like the the media is is concerned or the Democrats in Congress are concerned. Oh, we are. And it's starting to come up a little in other channels. But you did something so important.

You said that the six business deals that concern you because it could be affecting policy for this president and his administration. I don't expect you to memorize all six, but you can have this idea which got your concern. Which one now? You said there's six different business deals that you think might be affecting the Biden policy. Right.

I think that uh Hopefully, we're going to have a memo by next Monday. We plan on having a press conference in one week and disclosing what we have thus far from the bank records and from going in and looking at the thousands of pages of bank violations from this family in the Treasury Cabinet. And there are six decisions. that Joe Biden made, which were Uh adverse To America's interest. There's no question about it.

And people would scratch their head and why would they do that? And we believe that there are. Transactions that might explain why Joe Biden would have an America last policy and a China first policy or why he would do certain things with respect to Russia or with respect to Africa. Remember, this isn't just The President's son and the President's brother in China. Or just China, Russia, and Ukraine.

This is the entire family. And just about every country that we have a sanction against. You know that it's not countries that a normal international business does commerce with. These are the worst countries on the map. The countries that That are adverse to the United States.

This is where they were taking money. And again, it's the whole family.

So I'm excited about what we've been able to obtain thus far. We should get more bank records in this week. What about the whistleblower that we heard about? There are multiple whistleblowers. They are, as I said on Fox, they fear for their lives, not just from the Biden family, from rogue intelligence people within our government, but They were dealing with some pretty shady characters on the work on the international scene.

I mean, th you know, when you're dealing with the Chinese Communist Party, when you're dealing with Russian oligarchs? When you're dealing with corrupt energy companies, in Ukraine and in Africa, In the worst countries, the worst companies. I mean, you would be. concerned too, especially when the media Is getting the backs of the President. I hear you.

But James, what about the one that came forward and his lawyer was on talking about he was worried about his safety, but he was from the IRS? Yes, I feel pretty good about that whistleblower. Just a very high ranking person at the IRS. Good story. I think that it's going to show a lot about the weaponization of the federal government, a lot about the involvement that uh that the uh that Merrick Garland has Has provided to cover up the Biden corruption.

It's not just blinking. It's also Mary Garland.

So we've got some questions about the FBI. We've got some questions about other intelligence agencies. And why they haven't done certain things. But the one benefit of the gap, the benefit of doubt, I'm going to give. to the U.

S. Attorney Weiss in Delaware is as to why he hasn't done anything yet. Maybe it's because he's like The House Oversight Committee. Every other day, we find another LLC, another bank account, and another Biden family involved in this scheme.

So maybe he's just still trying to put it together. But I can assure you, Brian, we're going to help him out a lot. And next Monday should be a big day for the truth and for the American people who are concerned about public corruption. And then we'd love to have you right back here, Congressman. Absolutely.

You got it. James Comer of Kentucky, House Oversight Committee Chair. He's got his plate full, but he's pursuing it with his hair on fire. Congressman, thanks so much. Thanks for having me.

All right, 1-866-408-7669. I'm going to come back. I'm going to take some calls. You can also write me BrianKilmey.com. And keep in mind, too, any books about American history from George Watson, Secret Six, Thomas Jefferson, Tripoli Pirates, Andrew Jackson, Miracle of New Orleans, Sam Houston, The Alamo Avengers, Frederick Douglass, and the President and Freedom Fighter.

And you could order him on BrianKilmey.com, and I could personalize it and get him out. Brian Kilmey chair. Mm-hmm. Both sides, all opinions, it's Brian Kill Me. The more you listen, the more you'll know.

It's Brian Kilmead. I don't agree with Congressman Colehana that we want unlimited FDIC insurance. I think that to me is a bit of a race to the bottom. You could pick like $2 million, $5 million, $10 million. Yeah, I mean, there's got to be some limit.

At some point, you have to limit because you don't want a total race to the bottom where, you know, the weakest bank with the weakest balance sheet in the world can offer you the highest rate of return on your deposits, and therefore you take your deposits there because guess what? They're insured by the federal government.

So that was Gary Cohen, National Security excuse me, economic adviser to President Trump and, you know, he used to he's got every important uh uh a banking job in the country He was talking about the bailout of First Republic. I guess it's not technically a bailout. What happened is they lost, I guess, forty-nine percent of their value. People are just b bailing because they thought First Republic was as bad as Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, the ones that went belly up.

So they started just bailing on it.

So they tried to get somebody to buy it. They said, I don't want to buy it. I'm going to buy all the debt. I'm not going to do that.

So the FDIC took it over over the weekend and then gave it to JP Morgan without any of the debt.

So they have eighty four branches in eight states that's taken over and sold. And now JPMorgan's stock went up. What's the risk? No, they're probably the most salvant bank of the country. We lost one more medium-range bank.

So they lost, so basically, $100 billion walked out the door in the first quarter, and they could not recover from that. They got $30 billion in terms of a lifeline, and obviously unable to pay that back.

So now, $13 billion to cover their losses. They have this thing called these insurance funds.

So the insurance fund is what every bank is first forced to contribute to and bid for situations like this.

So they got thirteen billion for that to cover their losses. In comes JPMorgan, and they simply love it.

So to me, I understand, and I got to get confirmation on this. There's no confirmation besides $250,000. That everyone, if you have less than $250,000, $250,000 or less, you're going to get all your money back. But over that They tell me you haven't really lost it. There's just no guarantee.

There's no guarantee that you're going to get it. which is nuts. Because if you're able to save money in a pension plan or a four hundred one K over a series of years and you're able to get some of that money and you put it in a bank, sometimes you're not thinking to yourself, I want to spread it out. Oops, we're over two hundred fifty. I got to put it here, I got to put it there, because banks don't usually collapse outside two thousand eight.

But now all those people are out of money and you say it's no big deal. I'm wondering why the President never speaks about this, how this will figure into the Fed's decision to raise or not raise or lower rates or leave it as it is. That must play a role. But we're also watching, and I'd like to see what the CEO did. Are we having another situation where everybody at the bank, including its board, were cashing in because they knew they were on a one way trip down the toilet?

Because that's what happened with Silicon Valley Bank. And if that is the case, I want that money back, and these guys got to go to jail. You can't just take money. You can't take a bank, take stock on it, bet that it's going to lose, cash in on it, and then let the government bail you out. or have the government force a merger.

So I don't know what who looks over these guys' shoulders. I don't know what's happening. But I mean, you gotta wonder, did they were we the only ones that knew that inflation was high and sustainable? And we're the only ones that understand that if interest rates were going up to slow down the economy, that combination should have been trouble for people that do this for a living that ascend to become executives. I just don't get it.

Meanwhile, this is part of the reason why people are losing faith in the President. He never talks about this. He never tries to soothe any feelings, just stays quiet. I don't even see Janet yelling. Does that reassure you?

Her now, top Republicans are calling for President Biden to act on the debt ceiling. Republicans said, We did what you wanted, we got your plan. You like it? Do you hate it? Let's talk about it.

He keeps saying no, I won't talk about it. Because you don't want to how because this is money that we've already uh spent. How dare you not uh um honor? the money that's already been spent, okay? But the problem is the debt ceiling was set up by all accounts to sit there and get both sides to talk and say, we're about to hit the debt ceiling.

What are we going to do to stop this from going up? How do we stop this from being forced to be raised all this time? But instead, if you talk about that You try and uh make the country fail on its debt. That's not the case. It's not been the case in the past.

Go sit down there with Kev McCarthy, look at some of these spending cuts, see what you can tolerate. Then he comes back with Joe Biden counters, and then maybe they come up with a deal that everyone can get behind because we want to get our fiscal house in order. I thought. Thanks so much for listening. Go to BrianKillme.com, click on comments.

I want to hear what you have to say, and keep it here. Brian Kilmey Chill. From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmead. Hi, everyone.

Brian Kilmead here. Thanks so much for being here. I know if you're in the Northeast, it rained all weekend, you were stuck inside, or you had to deal with the rain if you were playing like youth sports and they with turf these days, they don't cancel anything. We're gonna do a sambo cast with Harris Farkner on the Farkner Focus and Brett Baer right after that.

So much to talk about, too. As we see what this week is going to be like, I get the sense that we're going to be half election, half what's happening in the news with Joe Biden. I think his whole thing is: let him be president and let that be his campaign. Good luck with that. How's that work so far?

Let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. I think we should pay the bills and then negotiate. And we should negotiate on deficit reduction. The last person to leave a surplus was Bill Clinton.

Let's repeal the Trump tax cuts. Let's repeal some of the Bush tax cuts for the very wealthy. Oh, that's great. Let's just get rid of the tax cuts and let's jack the revenue up. That's the problem.

We don't tax people enough. That's the beauty of being Rokahana. Another bank collapse, debt ceiling deadlock and radio silence from the White House. Number two. I am declaring a state of emergency in our community.

And the reason why we're declaring a state of emergency is to make sure that we can stand up and be prepared for May 11th, May 12th to have public shelter and public housing. Yeah, that is Mayor Lesser of El Paso, Cadista Cat Catista. Catastrophe is brewing at the border. The real concern, the whole border may buckle that Title 42 goes away in a couple of weeks. There is 20,000 estimates already just outside El Paso on the Mexican side of the border, ready to surge.

We might not be able to handle it.

Meanwhile, an illegal alien, five times he was tossed from our country, murdered a family. Manhunt is on. Number Wrong. I think Joe Biden is agile, he is capable. His record of leadership both at home and abroad makes him eminently qualified.

And we should be focusing some on the wisdom and experience he brings to the job. Right.

Not many people have the guts to call Joe by Nagile, but that's Chris Coons. Dems try and put Joe's age and reelection concerns to rest as Trump rides a commanding lead to the right. DeSantis comes home with a big war chest and a plethora of personal attacks. Plus, we got some lows and highs from the White House correspondence dinner.

So, as I mentioned, we're going to get a little bit early here to be able to get to Harris Faulkner, but I wanted to go over something we have not discussed yet so far in the show, and that is what's happening at the border. And you saw Mayorkis over the weekend try to tell everyone it was no big deal what's happening at the border, that it was under control. Nobody believes that, and everybody hates him. I cannot stand looking at him anymore because I know that he knows the difference. In talking to Tom Holman, he used to work under him, he knows how to seal the border, and he's choosing not to.

So far in twenty twenty one, under May Orchids, one point seven million apprehensions. Forget about the gotaways. That's an all-time record. In 2022, record broken, 2.3 million gotaways. More migrants have crossed the southern border than any year since the 1960s, and then this actually outstrips that.

Fentanyl has become the leading cause of death for 18 to 49-year-old Americans. Where is it coming from? China's got the ingredients. They mix it in Mexico and sell it to us. What are they going to do when Title 42 ends?

Here's their ridiculous plan: open up new centers in Colombia and Guatemala where people can apply. Family reunification program.

So if you're an unaccompanied miner, you might be able to get your parents over. And assistance to counter smuggling. Oh, that is going to work. Title nine Title eight, they call it. Forget it.

Not many people think it's going to be effective. One thing is pretty clear. Even Chuck Todd could not help but ask him the question that everyone knows. The agents know you're not trying, know you broke the border, they hate you. Cut sixteen.

I want to ask you about Border Patrol because the union doesn't like you. And they make it pretty clear on social media this month And last month, the month before, these are all From the Border Patrol Union on you. The chickens are going to come home to roost because of what he's done. They call you a national disgrace. Remove Majorkis, was their most recent tweet.

How can you lead a group of people? Whose union wants you out of office? Chuck, I'm incredibly proud to work with the United States Border Patrol. I have supported them vigorously since my first day in office. I will continue to do so.

Is that nuts? Is that nuts? He goes on. He just totally ignores the question. I enjoy working with them.

They don't like you. Not because you're height or your weight or you're a Democrat or Republican. It's because of what you do and won't allow them to do. You think it's a big deal adding Border Patrol? You're doing it because so many people are quitting.

Number three, It's a terrible job when you're not supported. It's a hard job when you are. You have to live in the middle of nowhere, either by yourself or drag your family there. And now you do your job, and you're not even appreciated. When you supposedly slip up with the Haitian illegal immigrants, you'd be condemned by both the president and vice president and my orcas himself.

And then, when it proves as it was a fallacy, they did nothing wrong, there was no apology, you lost them there. And don't have a sanctuary city, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, if you're gonna complain about the number of illegals there. Don't make it a big magnet. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead.

Hey, welcome back. We're going to be joining Harris Faulkner. You're going to see us on Fox News channel on Matter of Moments, and we'll have a chance to talk to the Faulkner focus. Bottom of the hour will be Brett Baer, but I'll be able to squeeze in some calls in between in theory: 1866-408-7669. We have a lot of other things to discuss, too.

We have not really played the highlights for the Washington Correspondent, White House correspondence dinner. Way too packed, way too crowded. And I don't know if I'm ready to kid around about Joe Biden's ineffectiveness and age. It's just too real. That's the issue.

But there were some good moments. I think the comedian seemed to be pretty funny from what I heard. But we'll be able to do that. And also. Did you see the story about Brittany Greiner?

Brittany Griner, who's six foot nine inches, the first female, I believe, to be able to jam a basketball, came out for Trans Men playing in the WNBA. and is for it. It shouldn't ban anybody at any time. Among the people crushed by that, Riley Gaines. says she's heartbroken by it because she knows how much fame Griner has and how unrealistic and selfish it is to do that.

She's at the end of her career. No one's really going to touch her career. Bullies, other people trying to break in, will have to deal with trans men. of the Leah Thomas. And nothing to get them, but as we've been over before, they shouldn't be competing and destroying women's sports.

That's how I belie that's what I believe anyway. But we'll talk about that. Let's talk about the collapse of this bank. I just can't wait. I want to find out what happened with First Republic Bank.

And here's why. Is because people put their money in a bank. They just want to put it there. They're not investing it. They're putting it there to have it feel safe.

You don't really know what the board's doing. Really? Am I supposed to go find out what the First Republic board looks like, sounds like? If I have $100,000 in there, $150,000 in there, am I worried about it for my life savings up to $250,000? Or if you're lucky enough to be able to inherit some money, you have some money, let me put it in the bank.

Don't want in a high-risk account.

Next thing you know, it's belly up, and the FDIC only guarantees you $250,000.

Now, instead of me just saying this once, now we're saying it three times in seven weeks. And there's no idea where this is going to end. I don't want people to panic because it makes people act rash and it affects the whole economy.

Now, let's listen in and do the sample catch. You'll hear my long introduction. Right now, Hunter Biden is in a courtroom in Arkansas. The President's son is attending a hearing over child support he owes for his four-year-old daughter. The child's mother says the President's son is not holding up his end of the bargain.

Well, no, he's not paying. And the court says he's playing games. She wants the judge to hold Hunter Biden in contempt and put him in jail until he complies. Legal scholar and criminal defense attorney Jonathan Turley points out how this hearing could have much wider implications. The irony is that this effort could really backfire across the board.

He's under investigation in Delaware, in Washington, and he may have just tripped the wire on this one by once again trying to reduce his support for his own child. A new op-ed boils it down just this way: Hunter Biden may be held accountable for the first time in his life. The first sun is also facing seven. more scrutiny. uh even more scrutiny over his ties.

To Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. Emails between the two back and forth in 2015 were revealed just last week. Blinken was a campaign adviser to Joe Biden at the time, and he also played a role in sparking the intelligence letter that dismissed Hunter Biden's laptop story as Russian disinformation. Senator Ron Johnson says this. Anthony Blinken finally did come in to sit down for a voluntary transcribed interview in December of 2020 because he wanted to be Secretary of State.

And now, because of more information that's come out, we know that he lied bold-faced to Congress about never emailing Hunter Biden. You cannot trust Joe Biden, you cannot trust Hunter Biden, you can't trust the Biden family. Brian Kilmead, co-host of Fox and Friends and host of the Brian Kilmead Show on Fox Radio, simulcasting right now with us here on the Faulkner Focus and his show. Gave you a quick heads up this time because I didn't want to catch you in a commercial. I know.

So, Brian, you talked with experts, Jonathan Turley, legal expert, being one of them. You would think that Hunter Biden would be all buttoned up right now. They're taking a really close look. He's not paying child support? Yeah, and I could just say 20 minutes ago, I spoke to James Comer.

So I'm kind of all over this story. And what people should understand is not just about Hunter Biden. The arrogance of somebody not willing to play child support for a kid that he had that he knows is his. He wants to fight to make sure the kid doesn't get his name. Also, in doing this and telling the judge, I'm paying too much money.

You know, I don't have much money, even though I have a really nice car and I'm living in a really nice mansion. It's not mine. Even though I get to live in the White House and do certain things and sell my paintings, I'm not telling you how much they're worth, but I just like to pay less for a kid that I don't want to acknowledge, that my extended family won't acknowledge.

So one thing I think is pretty clear: this is how it could backfire, which I find astounding that his lawyers will allow this to happen. They're going to say, show me everything. Show me what you're worth. And that whole, for example, that BHR sale that you gave, that company, well, it turns out that company is worth a lot of money. You own 10% of that company, and it's estimated that you got, when you sold it, between $420,000 and $20 million.

Which one is it? Can I see the records?

So not only is Comer getting the records, but now this judge wants the records. Why? Because he does not want to pay for his own kid or is paying too much for his own child. It doesn't seem to bother him that all this stuff's going to be exposed. Think about this.

He's traveling in Ireland. He's totally front and center. You know, he's saying to everybody, it's seeming, you can't touch me. You can't touch my dad. No one's going to follow this story.

I think he's overstepping. That's my sense. I know it was already a blockbuster. Catch me if you can, but maybe he's trying to do the sequel. You know, you hit the nail on the head of something that I had not read into.

Fighting for the opportunity for his child not to get the Biden name, something that he himself has leveraged for decades, and then bragged about it on 60 Minutes. Yeah, I use the family name. I mean, it's just the opposite, for example, of the Bushes. When W was in office, you never saw Jeb, you never saw Neil, you saw his dad, but they weren't sitting there saying, you know, my dad's the president, my brother's the president. You just don't see it like that.

This is not only, he not only has a checkered past that you would think he'd want to bury, and I know Roger Clinton had some problems in the past, but he wasn't advising the president, handling Bill Clinton's things-to-do list on a daily basis on overseas trips. But Hunter really believes and really believes that he is vital to his dad and doesn't believe he's touched.

Now, the most fascinating thing that James Coleman just brought up to us is that the Hunter Biden emails that you just played from Ron Johnson. I did not know that he denied ever emailing with Hunter Biden to become Secretary of State. He flat-out lied. We have the emails. In fact, in my humble opinion, he's tighter with Hunter than he is with Joe.

So they're dealing with the Deputy Secretary of State. Let me see. Who's doing international business deals? The Bidens. Who has international business contacts?

The guy in the State Department named Anthony Blinken, the future Secretary of State. Who got a pretty good gig out of that? You would think so. And he also has a lot of contacts. I have to ask you a question, says one of the emails.

Do you have some time a little bit later? And now we know the wives and Hunter and Hunter Biden's many wives are talking back and forth.

So there's a huge connection that they told the Senate. The Senate Committee That didn't exist, we now know it exists. Is it enough to get him kicked out of Secretary of State? I don't know, but it makes me question all their foreign policy decisions. That's the bigger story.

That is the headline that you're giving us out of that chairman's interview that you just gave, Chairman of Oversight James Comer.

So much for following the science here, Brian. It made for quite the conversation with Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. Here was his take on transition surgeries for children and the recent approach to gender itself. Below the age of 18, I think it's perfectly legitimate to say that we won't allow genital mutilation or chemical castration through puberty blockers. Are you confident that you know that gender?

Uh is As binary as you're describing it? I am. Do you know this as a scientist?

Well, there's two X chromosomes if you're a woman, an X and a Y. There's a lot of scientific research out there that says gender is a spectrum. I respectfully disagree. Gender dysphoria for most of our history, all the way through the DSM-5, has been characterized as a mental health disorder. But if that is what they think could help their child pursue happiness, why take away that option?

Part of why parents now suddenly feel that way. Let's ask ourselves that. We've created a culture that teaches parents that they're being bigoted or that they're bad people if they don't actually take those steps. And there's no doubt that the cultural movement in this country, even education, is creating more gender dysphoria. If it's a condition of suffering, let's not create more of it.

That's what we're doing.

So Brian. What's really interesting about what Vivek is just saying there and has kind of spawned where several states are going now is this movement of just don't tell the parents then. If the parents are going to want to weigh in, if the parents are going to try to stop any of this, you as a child under 18 have the right to be taken wherever you need to be taken for that transition, and you don't need permission, you don't even need to tell your parents. That's where we're going in some states. By the way, I give Vivek a lot of credit because he'll go everything.

You know who had the battle plan of Vivek Ramaswamy? Donald Trump. He went on every channel at any moment. You want him on, he's going to show up. He'll take on the most difficult subjects.

He deserves a lot of credit because that was a real hostile environment. But I thought it was a fair environment. I don't think the questions were unfair. This is what other people are saying.

Now, I date back to that shooting in Nashville. We know about this. Woman who wanted to be a man, was on some type of chemical trip, was violent, obviously, suicidal as well. We don't know the manifesto, but we know the parents were not accepting of it. And he had seven, she had seven guns in her room, not telling him.

So there's all types of tension and stress that could result in people's deaths. And I would say this: as Vivek brought up brilliantly, you can't get a tattoo before you're 18, but you're supposed to change genders because you feel that way. Talk to some of the people that did it and have regrets and wish that people stood up to them and said, This is a period in your life. Let's wait till you're a little older because we can't undo what you might want me to do.

Well, in one note to the president, our children belong to us, the parents. They do not belong to this government. Thought that was a given. Absolutely not. Full stop.

Brian Kilmead, you got to hit that commercial break. Thanks for simulcasting with me. Thanks for knowing my breaks better than me. Appreciate it, Harris. It's my job.

House Republicans. All right. Up against the break, right? I'm pretty close. Yeah, about a minute.

But Vivek, I got to give him credit because he was on this morning on Fox Business. He was on with. With um with us. I think he was on at the 10 o'clock show last night. And then he was on Meet the Press in the morning.

So, I think that what he's doing is taking all questions, all topics at all times. And what this is is. Free media.

So he's taking the questions, he's helping your show. He's a legitimate presidential candidate, so it's helping your rundown. He's taking all the difficult issues, and he's actually about neck and neck. With Nikki Haley right now, which for name recognition is a long way to go. I'll tell you: one thing is pretty clear: his prediction by the fall, he'd be third.

I can't really doubt that right now. When we come back, I'm going to talk to Brett Baer about that. But I promise to expand the conversation. You're listening to the Brian Kill Me Show.

So glad you're here. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Joe Biden is operating as if Donald Trump is going to be the nominee, and his future success depends on Donald Trump being the nominee. When you have seven out of 10 Americans that doesn't want to see Joe Biden run for re-election, and six out of 10 Americans not wanting to see Donald Trump run as well, this is a potential rematch in 2024 that nobody wants to see.

And unfortunately, whether we like it or not, age is going to be a factor in this campaign, because guess what? Donald Trump's no spring chicken either. And so this is something that both candidates are going to have to deal with through their primaries and President Biden in the general election. And that is Congressman Will Hurd, a Republican CIA guy, knows the border issue, knows how to work across the aisle, and now he was serving as an ABC pundit. But I just don't think age is an issue with Trump.

Out of all the issues that he has, I don't think anyone's going to go say he's too old. I think that People say that about Joe Biden, mostly in his own party. 51% don't want to see him run again in his own party. 70% overall in the country don't want to see him run. 48% said it's because of his age.

Brett Baer is in the prime of his life by any metric. He's a chief political anchor of Fox News, anchor special report, and he is with us now. Brett, welcome back. Hey, Brian. Hey, what do you do do you think that aid's going to be a factor for Trump?

I don't think so. I I you know, I mean He doesn't portray Uh if if anything he's he's overly energetic. He bounces around all over the place. But I d I don't think it will be, but there are people out there who say, you know, of three hundred million plus Americans. Um, it's interesting that it could be these two again, uh, and you know, I do think age on the Biden side.

gets talked about a lot. They were trying to spin it differently. Here's Chris Coons, cut one. I think Joe Biden is agile, is capable. His record of leadership both at home and abroad makes him eminently qualified.

And we should be focusing some on the wisdom and experience he brings to the job. He also said that the president really was frustrated last time around that he couldn't get out and campaign because he loved it so much. I'm w wondering if that passed the laugh test. Yeah. I mean, clearly the campaign Ran everything from the basement essentially through COVID, and it was.

convenience. They could do that. I'm not sure that you can do that this time around. And if you look at how few times this president has been out in press conferences, in one-on-one interviews. Um you wonder how this campaign is going to run.

Did you go uh over the weekend, Brent? I didn't. I have been to twenty-two of these things. I asked uh the powers that be, do you mind if I missed this this one? And they uh They said it was okay.

So I heard it was fun. I saw the pictures. Um But I wasn't going to go to 23 right now. I don't think it's going to hurt your career at all. That's my personal opinion.

So, Carl Rove, rarely do I disagree with him because he's so smart and insightful. But this strategy is the same strategy that Governor Sununu and Christie are using. I just don't think it's effective. Cut 11.

Well, first, they need to articulate a vision that says, I am changing. I'm new and different. I've been a successful governor or successful senator. I've been a successful leader in the private sector. And I've got a vision for the future that causes you to say, you know what, that sounds good.

Second of all, they've got to deal with President Trump. They've got to say, you know what, you did a lot of good things, but you got baggage. You got baggage in the fact that you've been indicted for things. You may be indicted for more things. That you're a controversial figure, and that you failed to do things.

You know, you said you'd build the wall.

Well, when you came into office, here's how long the wall was. When you left office, it wasn't much longer. You said you'd take on China, and you'd get this. You proclaimed that you got this fantastic treaty with China to buy a bunch of our American agricultural products, and it didn't happen. You did nothing to attack China.

China on the issue of stealing our intellectual property, of stealing our ideas and manufacturing processes and science and technology. You didn't do anything about that.

So I appreciate the good things you did, but frankly, we need new leadership that's actually going to get things done. That Republicans are going to say they know exactly what happened with the wall. He did say he was going to drain the swamp. He tried with the. China thing was on track into the pandemic.

I think that's a democratic attack on Trump. I don't think it works. You want to bring up the indictments and behavior and ill-advised tweets. I think that's open. But maybe I'm too close to it.

What do you see? No, I agree. I agree with you. I think that the first part of that of his soundbite was something that you'll see a lot. I think you'll see new and different.

I think you'll see I don't have the baggage. I appreciate everything policy wise. But going after him on the wall or on China, it just doesn't seem like it sticks. Especially because you have is such a disparity now with how the border is dealt with under the Biden administration. And China, you know, and there are real questions about our China policy now.

So Attacking him on those substantive issues doesn't seem to stick.

So so Governor DeSantis comes back. He's got $111 million in his war chest. Trump has raised $51 million. No one else is even close. But he's under a barrage of attacks.

Do you think things change once he says he's officially in or the interim step of Exploratory Committee? I think it it does change a little bit, but You know, it's essentially a de facto campaign now, and you know, he's bouncing around, going overseas. He's obviously raised a lot of money. I do think he's had some missteps, and Republicans are watching that closely. I think they're.

You know, they want an alternative Some do to at least look at in opposition to the former President Trump, and they're wondering whether Ron DeSantis is that. It may change, though, in how much he's out there and how much he's talking. Yeah, Kevin McCarthy did what many people didn't think was possible, got his caucus together to put a criteria out that would allow him to raise the debt ceiling. If you did what I asked you to do in this form, 300-plus pages about cutting expenses, you know, it's a starting point. How long can President Biden hold out and say, I'm not talking?

With 34% of the country approving of his economy now, is this going to help it? No, and it's the onus then falls on the White House.

Okay. to sit. They're probably going to leave it up to the Senate. But there's going to have to be some negotiations because McCarthy did get that across the finish line. And um A lot of people didn't think he was going to do it, and they kept on betting that he wasn't going to do it, and he did it.

So now it's the starting point of back and forth. Lastly, on the immigration, Brett, we have a situation they said is going to make the Haitian Bridge story going to dwarf it in comparison. There's more than mostly Venezuelans welled up on the border waiting for Title 42 right now than there was the whole Haitian situation. It's going to fill up rapidly. That got everybody's attention.

This is going to get everybody's attention in two weeks. Does anything about Title VIII make you think, and the interviews over the weekend make you think, that this administration has an answer? No. I really don't see it yet. They're not talking about it.

The Homeland Security Secretary is really saying the same things. And You know what I mean I don't even think they're negotiating that well with Mexico. Uh so there's There is going to be, it'll come to a head once again. You know, we've been down there. Since the beginning, but other places are going to have to cover this because it's going to get to a really messy situation.

Benjamin Hall tonight, his interview with Tony Blinken, can you give us an idea what to expect?

Well, he's going to tape it this afternoon. He's going to talk obviously about Ukraine and Russia and his experience, but also ask some probing questions. I don't think he's going to pull back. He's covered that place for a long time before going overseas, and it should be interesting. Yeah, I'm just wondering, too, the 2050 emails that have gone back and forth between Blinken and Hunter Biden that Senator Johnson says was denied, even existed during his confirmation hearing.

I'm wondering if that's going to be something that's going to well up, if not today, but over the weeks, will a subpoena actually be next? Maybe. I think there's a lot of elements to this Hunter Biden story that we haven't. you know, it's like an onion. It keeps on getting peeled back and um And I think it's going to continue to be since the house Oversight Committee is really going after it.

And lastly, this just came across DeSantis back board will sue Disney in its latest escalation. Remember, the board, as it left, decided to make sure that it be it remained its own state within a state. They are suing now to undo that.

So DeSantis not letting up. That's the Disney subplot that Republicans are jumping on him for. I enjoyed our time, Brett. Have a great week. You too.

All right, 1-866-408-7669. Real quick on Title 42, very few people care more or know more than Congressman Tony Gonzalez. Here's what he said on Face the Nation, what it means, CUD 18. And this is honestly the fourth time that we've seen this Title 42 is going to end. And every time we come to this situation before the crisis is this uptick in illegal immigration, and we're seeing that now, whether it's Brownsville, whether it's Eagle Pass, or whether it's El Paso, now it's all three of those areas.

And so the numbers are getting worse. The agents are beyond an exhausting point. And it's not just at the border.

Now what you're seeing is places 100, 150 miles from the border are just as overwhelmed as if they were on the Rio Grande themselves. While these major cities like Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles say the same thing, they're overwhelmed. When's this president going to pay attention? Really pay attention. He was from the Brian Killmee Show.

And we come back, we find out if there's more to know. It's Brian Killmead. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. Folks, I know a lot's changed in the press.

I've had a lot of conversations with a lot of you. This is not your father's press from 20 years ago. No, I'm serious. You all know it better than I do. But still, it is absolutely Consequential and essential.

After all, I believe in the First Amendment, not just because my good friend Jimmy Madison wrote it. Yeah. Welcome back, everybody. That is some highlights from President Biden giving his remarks. At the White House Correspondence Dinner, I I watched one of these clips that said, you know, basically I'm going to come out here, do ten minutes, and then walk away while you're while you shout questions.

And everyone laughed. And I do believe that That was not anything to laugh at because if you are a Washington correspondent, you must be so frustrated because that's what these two years have been like, where you can never get a question off, you can never get your sit-down, you never get legitimate answers, you have a very bad press secretary, almost no information coming out, and you get you got to do your job. Let's find out if there's more to know. More to know. Sponsored by Spirits Capital Corporation.

Barreled whiskey is the cash cow of Industry Insiders, but now you too can invest in premium American whiskey as it ages. Go to Caskdeeds dot com, caskdeeds dot com to learn more. Paid for by Spirits Capital Corporation. Yep, get your whiskey. Bare minimum Mondays.

That's what they call a TikTok's trend. Bare minimum Monday encourages workers to get this ease in by doing just enough to get by the work week as it begins. Uh I mean By the numbers, a recent study from LinkedIn and Headspace found that 75% of working Americans say they experience Sunday scaries returning to work. What's happening is before there were minimum Mondays who were physically sick in stress, now they have a different attitude towards it. How sick do you get Sunday thinking about work with me on Monday, Allison?

I mean for the past like Over a decade. I mean, Sundays are my worst day of the week. You just shake. I have to sit with Brian for several hours. How am I going to handle it when he just berates me non-stop?

Ryan, Eric, what about you? You were off for a week. How much did you hate? Were you shaking on Sunday? Yeah, was this study about me?

Yeah, because bare minimum Monday, so we're barely getting anything. I could barely hear the music from hello. Uh next. Chatbot GBT can now show more empathy than doctors. OpenAI's chatbot can answer patient questions with more empathy.

Why it matters, apparently, even our humanity can be bested by robots. We never thought that could be the case. Then, both doctors and chat GBT answered the same upcoming question. I guess they did a few scenarios. Keep in mind, I don't know what you're comparing it to, but I do like the idea of AI being fed all the information.

About every patient that might have your same illness and talk about different treatments and be able to come up with a possible quick solution, don't you? I agree. It makes you more efficient with your time for sure. And they said basically because time isn't a constraint, which is why ChatGPT was better with this, or able to just, you know. Pump out the empathetic answer, whereas we as people might think, well, do we say that?

Does that sound right? Does it hurt their feelings? Right.

Well, I think the doctors always could use a pumped up their bedside matter, but a lot of them are ticked off because they're overworked and underpaid. And that's what I was watching 60 Minutes on last night, and they were just talking about in rural America, in Louisiana specifically, there's no OGBYNs and there's no general practitioners. Why? Because it doesn't pay because all this Obamacare and all these things have pushed down the price so much that you're taking a patient for $50 a day and they don't have the $50, you're taking him or her anyway. And after a while, you go, I don't see my family.

I'm on 24 hours a day. I take my work home with me because I care. Why did I get into this? A lot of them end up on Wall Street. And you have six figures in debt for medical school.

Yes, yeah. Unless, of course, you're. Uh, you know, you're independently wealthy. A lot of them don't want to put in that type of work if you are. I want you to get to this story: this medical student allegedly sent home, I guess, allegedly, but isn't this a fact?

Uh, for refusing to change his shirt. The shirt said this. Hold your ears. There are only two genders. Here's Liam Morrison talking about what happened in Middleborough in Massachusetts.

I was told that people were complaining about the words on my shirt. That my shirt was making some students feel unsafe. I was told that I would need to remove my shirt before I could return to class. When I nicely told them that I didn't want to do that, they called my father. Thankfully, my dad supported my decisions and came to pick me up.

What did my shirt say? Five simple words. There are only two genders. Nothing harmful, nothing threatening. Just a statement I believe to be a fact.

Yeah, and he shouldn't have to make it, but man, is that kid well spoken? His comments were picked up popular Twitter account. The student said not one person directly told him they were bothered by the words, and the other students had told him they supported his actions. Marzon told the committee he felt like the school was telling him it wasn't okay for him to have an opposing point of view, and that he didn't go to school that day to hurt feelings or cause trouble. Your reaction.

I think Vivek Ramaswamy should get him on the campaign trail with him after his performance on Meet the Press this weekend. Yeah, I thought it was, yeah, it was 100% right. I mean, can you believe that a shirt like that would be, I would say in normal times, I'd say, why are you wasting your lettering? Why are you wasting a moment? What kind of message is that?

Of course, we know that to be true.

Next, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey says it all went south for Elon Musk after buying the social media giant. He said the timing was bad. He also believes that he's the wrong person to run it, but the board never should have forced him to buy it. Keep in mind, Dorsey is the co-founder of Twitter, and he was talking about Blue Sky, which can be a competitor of Twitter as it starts marching up and being sold. I don't know.

He's trying to make it work. It only had, I didn't know this. Twitter only turned a profit one year. Before Elon Musk got it. He's trying to make it work.

He is, and people are, you know, giving him grief about, you know, having to pay for the blue check mark and other things, but. I mean he's From what I've read, the balance sheets are looking much better. It's still not profitable, but I think they're losing a lot less money. Cut two-thirds of the workforce, I'll tell you that. And the other thing about Elon Musk is what he exposed that was taking place prior really helped the country more than anything else, period.

Now the FBI is going to be under scrutiny if they're going to put pressure on those other venues.

Now Twitter is off the mark if they're going to put pressure on social media to take certain posts down that maybe make one candidate look too good. You can pretend as if he's a threat to the country.

So, real quick, finally, Jacksonville, Florida, named the most forgetful city by Uber, as the company releases nationwide lost and found lists, including unique items like. Lightsaber, Fog Machine, Pennsylvania. Pets. Fake blood. And teeth.

Did you leave any of those in an Uber when you were down there? Let me see. Yeah, I know I don't have a lightsaber, so I assume I left it in an Uber. You usually carry at least three at one time. But you know what?

I hate going out in the dark, middle of the night without my lightsaber. Or your teeth? Because I feel all my teeth. I mean, it doesn't say all the teeth, doesn't it even say they're fake teeth in there? It just is teeth.

It's a great angle for Uber. Listen to the show ad-free on Fox News Podcast Plus, on Apple Podcast, Amazon Music with your Prime Membership, or subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Mm-hmm.
