Media orgs. under pressure to give back Pulitzer Prizes won for bogus Trump/Russia reporting

From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmead. Hi, boy, Brian Kilmey here.

So glad you're with us. 1866-408-7669. It's going to be a busy day. I know Mike Pence is going to be in action. We'll talk a little bit about what's happening in 2024.

A lot to discuss today. I think we can really. This whole 2024 thing is really shaping up. Will Hurd's going to be with us as our former Texas congressman, cybersecurity expert. Also, a guy who spends a lot of time in the CIA.

Rich Lowry at the bottom of the hour bring us inside the Republican race. And does the Democrats actually have a legitimate contest?

So 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 that as a Florida resident, he didn't give an answer about would you have signed the heartbeat bill that Florida did. That had all the exceptions that people talk about. The legislature put it in.

I signed the bill. I was proud to do it. He won't answer whether he would sign it or not. And he's talking about Donald Trump, 2024. DeSantis, Scott, and Pence get closer to officially joining the GOP jungle.

But can anyone catch Trump? Number two. My worst fears are that we cause significant. We, the field, the technology, the industry, cause significant honor. Harm to the world.

If this technology goes wrong, It can go quite wrong, and we want to be vocal about that. Wow, Sam Altman, creator of the Chatbat GBT, if this technology goes wrong, it could get quote quote quite wrong. That was the warning just from we just heard from Sam Altman issued right during yesterday's Senate hearing, and is asking the government to regulate his new technology. I never saw this before. They are asking for guardrails in the artificial intelligence realm.

Number one. This was investigating a presidential campaign based on a lie. No evidence, not even dismissing all the exculpatory evidence. I invite people to look at that report. Yeah, William Barr, you're right.

It's about 306 pages, and we should all do it. Give it back. These are the calls from Washington about all the major news organizations who foolishly and carelessly and breathlessly reported on Trump and Russia collusion over the course of four years and beyond. I say return all them and ask for forgiveness. I don't think that's going to happen.

Joining me now is Congressman Will Hurd, former Texas congressman and former CIA guy. Congressman, I don't know if you had a chance. Great to see you. Good to see you, man. I don't know if you had a chance to go through the dorm report or read the summary.

I've seen the summaries and look. And you read the Horowitz report. Absolutely. And I was there. I was on the Intel Committee when all this was going down.

So this is, there was nothing in this report that shocked me because we saw it in real time. But when did you realize? Because I talked to somebody who's very tight with President Trump. Mm-hmm. Right when the Muller report got launched.

And I said, What do you think's going to find out? He goes, You know what? I don't know. And I said, You don't know. He goes, No, I don't know if there's anything there.

When did you realize there was nothing there?

Well, i I I think it was when we interviewed Carter Page. This whole thing started with Carter Page. in the fact that The FBI was investigating Carter Page when he was an informant and working on behalf of the CIA, right? Like, if this is the source or the person that you think is the indication, that to me is when I realized this was built on flimsy intelligence and not intelligence at all, to be honest. It was circular information and bad reporting.

So I'm I'm looking at some of these awards and The Washington Post. and New York Times. Got 10 awards each of Pulitzer Prizes. Two examples of their winning work. Yeah, 10 stories by the Washington Post were awarded prizes, 10 stories by the New York Times awarded prizes for the national reporting on Trump-Russia collusion, and they also the understanding of Russia interference in the 2016 election.

That also got them an award. Do you think fundamentally, if you are telling everyone about linkages that didn't exist and put things down as fact when they couldn't be substantiated? I mean, should there be a process of taking things back? Because they misled the country.

Well, they should. They should talk about that we got this wrong, right? Like, I think reasonable people don't expect everyone to be right 100% of the time. But for something this big, something that so much money and attention and focus was put on, people need to step out and say when they were wrong and that this shouldn't have happened. And what concerns me.

As a former member of the intelligence community, right? I spent 10 years overseas as a CIA officer. The intelligence community is important to me. The fact that a dozen officials. abused their positions and has eroded trust between the American people and these important institutions.

Adam Schiff, for example, is going to go for the Senate. He's a leading contender for the Democrat for the Senate seat in California. You know, I generally try to be polite and kind, but Adam Schiff to me, he probably has done more to advance disinformation in this country than anybody else. And he abused his position as the chairman of the oversight committee because he implied that he had. Access to information.

That nobody else had access to, and he never did. And the reason, like, how did all of this stuff happen? How was this able to happen? You had bad leadership in the FBI and DOJ that weren't making sure people were following their tradecraft the way they were supposed to. Then you didn't have the leader of the intelligence committee doing the oversight that's supposed to be done of the intelligence communities.

And so all so, where do we end up? We end up with a country that is suspicious of federal law enforcement and suspicious of the press. And those are not good things. And I think this is a moment when we're going to look back in history of where a lot of people got a lot of things wrong. And because he was chairperson, it might be plausible that he does know something you guys don't.

Here's a flashback of Adam Schiff cut too. There's this ample evidence of collusion of the campaign, and it's very much in the public record. Have you seen, do you have direct evidence of collusion with Russia?

Well, I think there is direct evidence. And there is significant evidence of collusion, and we've set that out time and time again. And that's where people went with Lead Guy on every Sunday show for the longest time. His profile gets risen. They actually goes out of his way to go around Devin Nunes and marginalize him and get him suspended.

As an inquiry is launched into him, everything that he found out that day was true. Look, it's so it's this is bringing back. I'm getting PTSD from watching some of these videos because I was there and I was being criticized from people being like, Will, you're a former member of the IC. Why are you criticizing and playing? Yeah, they were saying that about me.

And look, nobody's going to mistake me for a cheerleader for the former president. But these were people that were not following the law. And look, there's a. There's a there's an interesting movie uh called The Framing of John DeLorean. It's it's like a Netflix movie.

It it's it's a couple of years old, and it talks about how the FBI went through this process to frame John DeLorean, the guy that made like the DeLorean car from Back to the Future. And unfortunately, there's been a number of examples within the FBI's history of zealot officers going after something and then the organization Osapia.

Now, I will say this: Christopher Wray has taken the information from the Horror Wits report and tried to make some changes. And I just want to remind people that there are still tens and thousands of members of the FBI and the DOJ that are doing their job in protecting America every single day. But here's my point. And these dozens are not reflective of that.

Well, Congressman, if I just look at the, they say they made changes and things are better.

Okay, McCabe's gone, Struck's gone, still saying they're 100% innocent.

Okay. But then you look at the Hunter Biden investigation. Four years on an IRS and gun charge.

Well, we're still trying to find out. When the laptop is handed off to them in 2020, when the reforms are evident, Chris Ray's in charge, they hold on to it, don't say anything, and then give people defensive briefings in August. That if something comes out hypothetically, like, for example, the Hunter Biden laptop, I want you to be ready for it. Zuckerberg told Joe Rogan that.

So, how optimistic can I feel that things are better? And this is where, this is where our oversight committees, right? This is where Mike Turner needs to be working to try to repair that trust on behalf of those organizations and shine a light to make sure the right things are being done. Look, the lawyer. In the D.

O. J. That Doctored. He changed an email in email. The CIA basically said, hey, Carter Page was working for us.

And that lawyer changed it to say that he wasn't working, right? It's like, I don't even know how to do that. This joker? Got one year probation. Yeah.

Now, look, if I would have done something like that, oh, come on, man. Are you kidding me? I wouldn't be here. I'd be in prison. And so, yeah, look, the frustration and the anger, it's understandable and it makes sense.

And as someone who cares about the intelligence community, this is hard. And the organization will have to learn. They have to repair their trust with the American people. And that is showing a level of transparency that we probably have never seen from these organizations. I want to come back and do a fresh 2024, but I'm just going to leave with this.

John Brennan. Brief President Obama that Hillary Clinton was working on this Trump-Russia collusion to get everyone's attention off her email scandal.

So the CIA director, former CIA director. briefs the form the current president about the election. And I'm not saying Obama was involved, but he could have stopped it right there. Just like he did the great thing by calling up Hillary Clinton and saying, you lost. Call him up and tell him you lost.

But for four years, what did you do? Everybody knows Donald Trump is an illegitimate president, and he knows. How much did that hurt the country? This hurt the country? That hurt the country.

Just like Donald Trump saying over and over again he won the election. I believe that hurts the country. Because 25% believe him. I'm not one of them. But if you want to point out the Zuckerbucks and other things that took place in the lab, that's something.

But don't tell me about ballots and hiding and that type thing. We need ideological consistency. Do the same freaking thing whenever it's the people you like or the people you don't like that are in office. Like, that's what we need to get back to. That's why people are frustrated with these things coming out because they know if they were to do something like this, they'd be in deep trouble.

Absolutely. So, Will Hurd is here. The congressman's back in New York. We're going to talk to him about what he's doing in 2024, as everything is basically, everyone's got to decide by the end of June is conventional wisdom. Back in a moment.

Politics, current events, and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say. Stay with Brian Kilmead. From the Fox News Podcasts Network. I'm Ben Dominich, Fox News contributor and editor of the Transom.com daily newsletter.

And I'm inviting you to join a conversation every week. It's the Ben Dominich Podcast. Subscribe and listen now by going to FoxnewsPodcasts.com. He's so busy, he'll make your hat spin. It's Brian Killmeade.

It's one of my areas of greatest concern. The the the more general ability of these models to manipulate, to persuade. and to provide sort of one-on-one, you know, interactiveness information. Given the we're going to face an election next year and these models are getting better. I think this is a significant area of concern.

Sam Altman, creator of Chatbot GBT, on Capitol Hill willingly briefing both sides who flat out said, We're not experts in this area. What do you mean by guardrails? He's concerned about fakes. We already saw fake pictures of Donald Trump being arrested in the middle of the street that look legitimate from when Alvin Bragg indicted him about a month ago. With me in the studio, if you're watching Fox Nation, you know, as Will Hurd, Congressman from Texas, Congressman, you know this stuff.

You were talking about this six years ago. Sam Altman going to Capitol Hill yesterday was pretty significant along with the IBM executive. It was. And I will say this. What was even more significant was how thoughtful and bipartisan the hearing actually was.

Like, this was really Josh Harley and Senator Blumenthal working together to try to understand an issue that is probably one of the most significant issues and most important issues of this century. And so that was, they were trying to do their job. But this is a tool that is going to be incredibly powerful. It is going to affect every single industry. We have to make sure that our kids are being prepared to deal with technology like this.

And I think the step that they took and the hearing yesterday was great. And look, I held the first hearing on artificial intelligence back in 2015. And nobody would have thought that this tool would have you move so fast. But we also can't make the same mistakes that we've made in the past with technology. Knowing what we know about social media now, we Would probably have handled it from a regulatory perspective differently in the 90s.

So I think you start with: AI needs to follow the law. We already have a lot of rules on the yeah, for example, if you impersonate my voice and try to extort money from somebody in my family, just like just because you're a better crime, right? It's a crime. And yeah, and if you try to, if I am an entertainer and you put out a comedy album and you ask Chatbot GBT to put out a Jim Gaffigan album, it's not Jim Gaffigan, that's still a crime, even though it's more sophisticated, right?

So some of this stuff is on the books. It's just profligate. And look, and OpenAI supports all those things that you've just outlined. And having these conversations is important because, again, this is, you know, just like nuclear fission. Nuclear fission controlled gives you nuclear power that can power the world in a clean way.

But nuclear fission uncontrolled gives you nuclear weapons that can destroy the world. I love that analogy because everyone could understand it. Because it's used for both things.

Now, you run Meet the Press over the weekend, making it clear you're really thinking about running for President. Do you agree that that decision should be made in the next few weeks? Yeah, I think anybody who's thinking about a political office needs to make a decision. You know, early summer, there's decisions that have to be made and infrastructure that has to be put in place. And look, for me, I've been fortunate to have served my country in a number of different ways, whether it was overseas, you know, fighting terrorism or representing my hometown in Congress.

If I have the opportunity to serve my country again, I'll do it. And look, I'm lucky. I'm lucky to have been born in America. My time overseas made me realize how fortunate we are. And I think we can't wait until 2028.

We have a lot of challenges in front of us. We're in a new Cold War with the Chinese government. They're trying to surpass us as the biggest, as the sole global superpower. And if that were to ever happen, the impact. That would have on our economy, on our way of life is significant.

Between the intelligence, between what we know about cyber, between what you've witnessed at the border, also you have a history of working across the aisle. We're better together. I know that. We can solve bigger problems. We solve them for longer.

We're better together. And we're better when we're building global coalitions. The only way we're going to be an adversary that's four times our size is if we have a bigger posse than them. And what we do with our allies is important as well. And look, we are lucky to have the economy that we have, but it takes work to get at it.

And so we need to be having these serious conversations. Oh, and as a Republican, I want to win, right? I want to not just have two years of conservative thought. I want to have it for 14, 16 years. And we have an opportunity because nobody wants Joe Biden to be president again.

And that's where we have to take advantage of this initiative. But I mean, it looks like Donald Trump's got a 40-point lead, according to Morning Consult, which is different than Fox. Does that intimidate you? No, the election is not tomorrow, right? The elections is in several months.

And you know, the experience that I've always had, nobody thought a black Republican could win in a 72% Latino district. Nobody thought I had a chance back then. Nobody thought I had a chance for reelection. But how did I do it? I showed up to places that people didn't expect.

I talked about putting food on your table, roof over your head, and taking care of the people that you love. And it's called work, right? And we always kind of think that there's some one national narrative. People believe in different things. People have different reasons why they come out to vote.

And it's a matter of do you have the time and energy in order to make that happen? By June 30th. I think that makes sense. June 30th. All right, Congressman Wilveard, you got to come back.

We've got to talk more about it. It'll be exciting to have you in the race. Awesome. Thank you. All right.

And man, you have an excellent resume. You would be formidable. Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. If you're not disturbed by this, you just hate Trump too much.

I don't care what your politics are. We have a situation where the FBI ran every stop sign available. kept pushing a warrant against American citizen based on a steel dossier that was a piece of fiction. The information was supplied to the FBI by two Russian agents. It was used to get a warrant against an American citizen to turn his life upside down and to create a cloud over the Trump presidency and try to deny him the presidency.

Other than that, this is no big deal. And that is Lindsey Graham, who signed off on the Mueller Report.

So let's just find out what goes on here. And it would ended up being I think it costs $30 million and read it. There's no collusion there. You don't mi you might not have liked the meeting with Don Jr. You might not have liked what President Trump said in July of 2016, but there was no collusion.

Rich Lowry, edited National Review, does not hate Trump too much. I think he's very fair with him. Rich, What does the Dorm Report Change with you. It doesn't change anything. This this we've known this for a very long time.

And Brian, you of course have been all over it. But it puts it in black and white in a very authoritative and detailed manner. This was indeed a vast conspiracy to try to defeat Donald Trump and then hobble his presidency at the outset. And the FBI, the people we entrust with vast government powers because we think they'll at least try to handle them responsibly, was in on it. I mean, it's totally shocking.

Everything that Lindsey Graham had said was completely right.

So, can you imagine being president with most presidents would see all this stuff? They probably would have just resigned. Because there was so much pressure. And I'm reading Jared Kushner's book, and it just struck me. By this time, I already heard the Bull report, read the Horowitz report, and I'm reading Jared Kushner's book.

Do you know he basically had to pay - he thanked he has the resources. He had to go get Abby Lowell, and they told him, listen, it looks like you're going to be arrested. He thought for at least two weekends that they were going to be coming to his house and arresting him, knowing Rich, that he did nothing wrong. What he did is, when he was an advisor, he had conversation with Russia afterwards, and they link him to Alpha Bank. And he's like, What are you talking about?

And then at one point, President Trump walked up to him and said, Jerry, listen, if you need to step aside and handle this, step aside for doing what? Yeah, exactly.

Well, you know this, I'm sure, but if you actually talk to Donald Trump, I haven't talked to him in quite some time now, but the anger about this is very deep, it's very genuine, and it always comes to they tried to throw my kids and relatives in jail, you know, which doesn't get more visceral than that, and this is an enormous. Vindication of what he said about this investigation all along. And, you know, Durham, if nothing else, is a methodical guy, and that was very frustrating for a lot of people that this took so long. I think that some of the prosecutions he attempted were mistakes. But this is a really important public service.

And I think, you know, this is small comfort for the people directly involved, like Jared and others, and all they went through. But this is a very important part of the historical record. And I think over time, kind of center-right, quote-unquote, respectable opinion will come to believe that this was indeed a hoax.

So it's not all over, sadly. Uh because I watched Jay Tapper say this is bad. It's very bad to a degree, and it must have killed him to say it, but he did say it to his credit that Donald Trump is is vindicated and the FBI looks terrible. But it didn't stop this the same night on the same network. This is Andy McCabe.

John Durham is wrong. And it's not just me that says that every other entity that's investigated our activities in 2016 agrees. And that's, of course, as you mentioned, the DOJ Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, as well as the Senate Intelligence Committee, led, of course, at the time by a Republican.

Okay, and I can't even, I don't want to give any more airtime, but just wanted to give you an idea of the mindset on other channels, because you might not be watching, and maybe none of my listeners are listening. But But nobody Andy McCabe got convicted, got caught, he was caught leaking to the press. Yeah.

And Horowitz said that you had a reason to launch an investigation. Dorm says there's no reason to, but you should have stopped when you had nothing. That was what Horowitz said.

So what's he talking about? Yeah, it was clear within about a week that Mueller should have known it wasn't there and just should have stopped. Instead, it was this investigation that fed on itself because the investigation became about whether people were obstructing the investigation. And collusion gets lost and it just rumbles on for. couple of years.

And are they vindicated in the sense that they didn't commit crimes, and they're not going to go to jail? Yeah, but that shouldn't be the standard. It was still a grotesque abuse of power, even if no one violated the law. And the idea that James Comey is anyone's hero is just shocking. Obama said the other day, we live in alternate universes with different realities.

This is an instance of that. If anyone's still paying that guy any attention and not turning their backs on him as a disgrace, a guy who abused his authority. Yeah, of Annie McCabe.

So I would say this. I give Obama credit for calling up Hillary Clinton and said, Tell everyone you lost. You did lose. And he was the only one that could have done it because she would have held on forever. Number two is he gets briefed on this.

And it was not his idea. It was not his idea to put Hunter Biden on the Burisma board. They all knew it was problematic. I mean, it was not his idea for Air Force Two to go down and meet with Carlos Lim in Mexico or to put Hunter in China on Air Force Two and have him scurry off to do some type of unsavory business deal. On some level, and this is all conjecture.

I'm wondering if Obama talks to Barack Obama talks to Michelle sometimes. And everyone thinks I'm crazy for saying this and thinks, what the hell was he doing? What was Hillary doing? They never got along. And then you look at Joe Biden.

By the end of it, they clearly don't talk much. He's got to be saying to himself, reading some of this Hunter stuff. Obviously, he doesn't want to weigh in, but he's got to be saying to himself, This ticks me off. I had this guy as my number two, and instead he's doing side deals for his family. Yeah, uh, you know, Obama's daughters aren't doing that.

They they were a little young at the time, but they're not doing it now. And this was just th this has all the hallmarks to to para paraphrase that letter from the intelligent professionals about the Hunter Biden laptop of corruption when you create all these shadowy LLCs that get money from shadowy foreign sources and then for no reasons or clear services rendered dole it out to a bunch of family members, including family members who weren't lobbyists or lawyers the way Hunter or Jim Biden are.

So it's I think Comer, they've done great work so far. The question is, can they is there a smoking gun and is there a smoking gun, can they find one that Joe Biden directly profited? That's obviously the big piece here that would actually make the media take it more seriously if they can find it. They have to be forced. It's not like they're trying.

But let's talk about the debt ceiling talks. Already, the fact that President Biden is dealing with Kevin McCarthy, he's got to shock him. He went from the ultimate leverage. Yeah, I'm not touching the, I'm not touching. I want a clean debt ceiling raise to Tev McCarthy, show me what you got.

Kevin McCarthy gets it, gets his proposal to raise the debt ceiling.

So he already approved him again. And now we're sitting there with a week, let's say two weeks from a deadline. And Kevin McCarthy not only passed a debt ceiling, he also passed the idea for fixing the border. And he's got this slim majority. And now they told Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries: don't show up.

It's just me and Kevin.

So already, I got to say that Kevin Carthy's out-kicking his coverage. Yeah, no, absolutely. He's punching above his weight. It turned out the speaker fight, which was u ugly at the time, turned out to be really healthy. He got a lot of these conservatives inside the tent on the rules committee, which means they they've bought in.

And he's been able to get consensus on this stuff.

Now we'll see how it lasts, but it's absolutely true that he's wrong-footed the White House, and Biden's going to have to deal, and there's going to have to be some sort of compromise. The question is, what is that compromise? And Ken McCarthy Sell it to his conference. If he can't sell it to the entirety of his conference, which is basically what he needs, can he get some Democratic votes to pass it? If he does that, how does his conference react to that?

I think that's still the big test to come. But the border bill is the best border enforcement bill ever passed by a Chamber of Commerce. And getting that debt proposal through was a really big deal and just totally reversed. Who is on top in the debt limit fight? He's going to have to do something, right?

He's going to have to give in on repurposing the pandemic funds. Give in on maybe this China competition, China competition bill that he was trying to nix. They want to make sure that China's got tariffs when it comes to.

Some of the things they're bringing into our shore, and he's trying to make sure they're eliminated, excuse me, when it comes to solar panels. When it comes to solar panels, China is selling them back to us so cheap, they're outstripping us, and they want to put tariffs on it. And Biden's pushing back against that.

So maybe have that done.

So you have Steve Riketti, who's a counsel to the president, and Shalanda Young, Office of Management and Budget, who are going to deal with two staffers for Republicans, Louisa Terrell, Legislative Affairs Director, and Congressman Garrett Graves.

So we'll see what comes up with this. But if he gives it all, it'll show that the leverage has gone to Kevin McCarthy. Mm-hmm. Yeah, so the the the White House position doesn't make any sense.

So they say this is an existential crisis, so we need to get this done, and they're not going to talk about getting it done or cutting a deal to get it done. That makes no sense, that's not going to fly. And even though they're still maintaining ridiculously that they're not engaged in negotiations, of course they're involved in negotiations.

So they've already moved off their initial position. And just very often these kind of these debt limits have resulted in compromises between Congress and the President. You know, the last time, obviously, 2011, big fight John Boehner's House and Barack Obama. And then after that, Democrats are like, oh, this was terrible. We'll never do it again.

But they're going to have to do it again because Compromise is what happens when something has to pass, and you got a Democratic president and a Republican president. If I remember correctly, Rich Lowry, I believe John Boehner was unable to get the Freedom Caucus to go along, and they did not have any consensus on what it would take for Republicans to sign off on the Raise the Dead Ceiling. I think that was the difference, correct? Yeah, so in 2013, they did stiff. The Congress.

Because, you know, Boehner, the problem Boehner had, and this is the problem I thought McCarthy would have, but he hasn't yet, is just the relationships were so poisonous with his right flank that hated him, you know, almost more than Obama, it just made it really hard to get anything done because you need unity. That's the first thing. You're nowhere without unity, and that's what McCarthy's had so far.

Now, whether he maintains it two weeks from now and there's some sort of deal, that remains to be seen. But so far, I mean, he's done incredibly well, much better than I would have expected. And I think he's good in front of the camera. He doesn't run from the cameras. He looks comfortable.

I think that has a lot to do with it, too. A lot of times you looked at John Boehner and he looked like he was falling apart before your eyes. He was obviously an unhappy guy. Yeah.

So this morning, console poll comes out, and Donald Trump with a substantial lead over Ron DeSantis, everybody else in single digits. And I'm not saying it's going to stay that way. 43, 18, and then the rest of the field, 18 is Ron DeSantis.

So Ron DeSantis will be in this race within two weeks. What changes? Excuse me? Was it 43 or 63 for Trump?

Well, I got 43. Do you have 63?

Well, a couple what I think he was above 60. But anyway, it's a big lead, whatever it is. Yeah, so it's a big it's a here it is. You're right. DeSantis support among GOP is dwindling.

In a new poll, 61% of GOP voters back Trump. that according to yes, so that that's what that's the poll you were talking about. The same poll in January had DeSantis down by eleven points.

So it shows a trend. But you're not one to get overexcited in the spring. What do you think this means overall?

Well, obviously Trump has had a fantastic several months. The key thing was the indictment. That was the inflection point. It seemed like two weeks ago there are a couple of surveys that showed maybe he was ticking back down again, Trump, but he's gone up since then. And DeSantis is now in the teens.

You know, the vape Ramaswamy is closer to DeSantis than DeSantis is to Trump.

So that's a big deal. Trump's obviously the odds on favorite. But we need to see what happens when DeSantis actually gets in, which now that's getting pretty imminent. And Iowa and New Hampshire matter more than the national polls. And we have scant polling from Iowa, but there was one the other day showed Trump with a pretty good lead, but not like that 61-17 lead.

It was closer than that. And DeSantis obviously has a little stroke there because he got those big endorsements and the last week, 37 legislatures.

So he's just going to have to work at DeSantis and hope it happens in Iowa. If it doesn't happen in Iowa and Trump wins Iowa, it's probably over or close to over. Uh but if DeSantis or someone else wins Iowa, then we're we're in for a a month-long uh uh drag out uh knockdown drag out fight. But Iowa don't you think everybody gets to the primary? Yeah, I mean, except for unless there's somebody who's zero percent.

Don't you think we all uh we see the same field through to New Hampshire or no? I think some people run out of money. And when I say that, I'm looking at Nikki Haley. We'll see. But this is another factor working in Trump's favor.

Yeah, there's not a huge incentive for anyone to get out before Iowa. And maybe some people, if you get zero in Iowa, you drop out before New Hampshire. But it still could be a big field, and that's another factor helping Trump. I will say this. I would not diminish Nikki Haley.

I just think that she's outworking everyone. First in, great work ethic, wide swath of knowledge, very good under pressure. Not good on camera. I just think that she's got on paper, she's got it. Where people wanted to project that Klobrich could do it.

They wanted to project that Elizabeth Warner could do it. They wanted to project that Ted Cruz was perfect for the time. I look at her and I say, I would not diminish her. Yeah, my guess if we're looking for a South Carolina contender, it's going to be Tim Scott rather than Nikki Haley that will get have a moment. I wouldn't be surprised if Vivek has a Has a moment, you know, pops above 10 in national polls at some point.

But I say all this with a big dose of modesty because there's stuff that always surprises you in these races. Absolutely. I know this. I can't wait. I love every second of it.

It's a lot of fun. And that's another reason to pick up the National Review. Rich Lowry, always great. Thank you. Thanks, Brian Tucker.

And he writes about Joe Biden's view of bidenomics. When we come back, this is the Brian Killmead Show. Back with you, calls in just a moment. Don't move. It's Brian Killmead.

From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmeade. We are asking for the bare minimum. We deserve, as women, we deserve safety. We deserve privacy. We deserve equal opportunity, and we deserve respect.

And they're trying to take that away, the Biden administration, by their new proposed Title IX rewrite. It's detrimental to women's sports and the integrity of women's sports will be completely lost if this is something that goes through. It's harmful, it's it's I can't even put into words the damage this will do. Riley Gaines saying if you allow trans women Trans men to play in women's sports, it'll devastate everything. Forget about swimming.

Think about soccer. Go up for a headball with somebody who may be around the same height, but is about 40 pounds heavier. Think about basketball. How does Brittany Griner have no problem with it? Alex Morgano has no problem with it.

Well, they're at the highest point in the end of their career. But what about kids coming up?

Well, wait a second. I have a center midfielder who's an 18-year-old girl, or I could put a 21-year-old trans man in there and finally beat Brazil. We never beat Brazil in volleyball. Why don't we try to do it now with a trans man? And then all of a sudden, they're going to get a trans man.

Anyone willing to take some hormone injections for some Olympic glory? I mean, it's crazy. You know, it's just crazy. Men are ruining women's sports again.

So instead of launching it, going out of the way to do it, this whole pro-woman movement. Is getting their legs kicked out from underneath them and they don't realize it, and everyone's too afraid to speak up. I know Brett Favre over the weekend, he's got enough controversy, but he said that most athletes know what we know, but they're afraid to speak up right now because they don't want to be labeled, I don't know, anti-trans. Is that even a thing? Which no people are.

They just want to be fair to women. That's usually. A good thing. I thought it's usually a good thing. All I can say is this: even if you're not going to go pro, if you're a dad, and it's like, well, I'm not playing sports anymore.

Well, do you know anyone in your neighborhood that's played a 16-year-old girl? Do you want to see them crushed, going up for a headball tomorrow? What about your niece, nephew, your daughter? I mean, come on. Think beyond, just have a little bit of courage.

It doesn't take that much courage to say, I don't want my girl playing against a trans. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian. In Kill Mead. Hi, everyone.

Brian Kilmed here. Thanks so much for listening. Come to you from 48th and 6th in Midtown Manhattan. Heard around the country, around the world. This hour, we're going to be going out to Ukraine, Dan Bilak, instead of investments there, helping out the finance minister.

There was a big, a lot of rockets at the Kiev yesterday. Guess what? Patriot knocked them all down, including a hypersonic. One Patriot missile battery was damaged. Don't know how serious, but how great is that?

They're also making progress in Bakhmood. They were supposed to be owning Bakhmood right now, the Wagner Group, but they're not. With me right now is Jonathan Turley. We're not talking Ukraine, Jonathan. Don't worry about it.

We're talking about some explosive information that's happening here with the Durham Report. And I was just listening, just to get ready for this segment to get me hyped up. I was listening to Joe Scarborough talk about right-wing media outlets who are misinterpreting the Durham report, and there was actually nothing in it, it was a total waste of time and money. Is that how you view it? Are you blind with right-wing rage?

Yeah.

You know, I guess we had too much of an expectation. You know, the fact is that Durham reports an indictment. not just of the individuals who are responsible for this hoax, But the media. I mean, this was a plan that was hatched by the Clinton campaign. It was given to the FBI.

And then it was promulgated by the media.

So, you know, the media can't even argue that they were sort of the target of this con. They were a participant in it.

So that's reflected in a lot of this. What are they supposed to say? You know, we spent three years telling you that there was this P-tape or that Trump was insane for saying the FBI was investigating his campaign. Turns out all of that that we reported was untrue. None of them have the integrity for that.

So I'm just looking at some of these titles, all these awards. 10 stories from the Washington Post about the Russia-Trump collusion. They've gotten Pulitzer's. 10 stories by the New York Times, they got prizes, various prizes, whether it's the Peabody or Pulitzer. And they also have done PBS, also has won some awards between 2017 and 2019.

Now, the Mueller report comes out, doesn't show collusion. The Horowitz Inspector General report comes out, didn't show collusion. Were you to look at the 306 pages here? One of the things that stands out Is that Durham makes it clear this investigation never should have been launched? And the way it starts with an ambassador in the UK going to a bar and meeting Papadopoulos, right away, you just have to look at this and say, well, who's Papadopoulos to Trump?

He got hired a week before as an advisor. How many times have you met him once or twice? What was he saying?

Well, it turns out Downer wasn't even saying that he was talking about Hillary Clinton emails in Russia. They don't even confirm that. But they use it as a way to willingly dupe themselves into thinking we got something here. Carter Page, Paul Manaford, Michael Flynn. All end up under investigation.

They never briefed Donald Trump. And they brief Hillary Clinton about the Russians looking to infiltrate the election, but I guess on some level they believe Trump's a part of it. And because they want this narrative or need this narrative, they pursue it. And in case you say, well, they're just not good at their job, then you get the text message of the guy in charge of the investigation, Peter Strzok, who clearly hates Trump and Texts about that, we have a plan B. Should he get elected, it will never happen.

So you have everything right there in your first 15 pages. No, it's it's true. And what's really incredible is that this report shows that this this whole operation was run out of Mark Elias' shop, the general counsel of the Clinton campaign. They were later sanctioned. for doing that by the federal government.

And they hit it. And reporters say that they asked Elias in the campaign, are you behind the dossier? Do you have an involvement? They denied it. There's even a report that Podesta, with Alaylaya sitting next to him, denied that there was any connection between the campaign and the dossier.

Later, of course, they had to admit that when records came out that they they funded this thing.

So, this is just an incredible story, but the problem for the media is that. They just this would be such an indictment of themselves. And what's what's of course ironic is that the Washington Post, New York Times gets a pulitzer for running a false story planted by a political campaign. The New York Post runs a true story about the Hunter Biden laptop, and they will never get a Pulitzer because it was true, but it was hitting the wrong side. Absolutely.

I want to just build on what you point and then talk about what the reforms could be in place and why I'm not necessarily optimistic.

So, the Dorm investigation. Was reviewed by the Columbia Journalism Review over the course of 18 months. They said, let's look at all the coverage and let's see how the media did.

So the CJR, in-house publication of America's Most Prestigious Journalism School, 18 months digging through the media's work. The report contained criticism of the media as a whole. Jeff Girth reserved particular disdain for The Times. The investigative journalist introduced his findings by stating his belief that the newspaper had damaged its credibility outside its own bubble. Renowned journalist Bob Woodward told him the coverage of the Russia probe wasn't handled well.

Daily Mail broke down how the Trump-Russia stories flourished in the media despite a lack of credible evidence, and we can make our own decisions on how much the country was hurt. I, I think, hurt tremendously on reputation. The other thing is: how about this? The FBI sees no clear link to Russia and a story about alleged covert communication between Trump organization and criminal-linked Alpha Bank. It didn't stop a full investigation, story after story, about unnamed sources who said there was a link there.

And that's how they tried to trip up Jared, saying that he was part of that when he had nothing to do with that. Alphabank. Happened to have a branch in Trump Tower. It didn't mean to have nothing to do with Donald Trump in particular. But now you see a Russia bank.

Trump needs money. Trump always wanted to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. It would have been his most prolific and profitable tower ever. And he was Vladimir Putin, was promised the top penthouse. Remember those stories?

Yeah, no, it's and it goes on and on because You know, all of these they ran with. They had legal experts saying this evidence is absolutely bombshell and undeniable. Of course, no criminal charges occurred because no findings were ever made that these were true. And now we have findings made that they were false from the outset. The key to remember is that when the Steele dossier came out, the American intelligence quickly flagged it.

Is likely Russian disinformation. They demolished it. They told the FBI this is not reliable. And yet, people like Comey, even today, are claiming that they believe that this was corroborated. Years later, Comey was still talking about the P-tape.

He got all these accolades who were saying, I never thought these words would come out of my mouth. The President might have done this.

Well We know now from Durham that if he just simply picked up a phone, he could have found out that there was nothing there. This came out from a Clinton operative who told Steele about this story to another person. Three days later, it ended up in the Steele dossier. That's how true. Trivial this process was.

Three days after Steele heard that story, it was in the Steele dossier, and then it was all over the media. I I find it amazing too because his name is Charles Dolan. And Charles Dolan dates back to when we thought Russia had a chance of being somewhat of a representative democracy on some level when Yeltsin was there. And that's when Bill Clinton was in office. And that's when Dolan made his contacts.

And a lot of people, like Bill Browder, who's famously Putin wants to kill now, was saying, I'm going to invest over there. This might be a good place to invest and grow. I mean, these people know nothing about capitalism, but they seem open to it.

So as it starts closing down, Dolan kept his contacts.

So when Christopher Steele gets this deal and has to find out what's going on, he reaches out to Dolan to help put together the dossier and Igor Dushenko to help put it. But Dushenko doesn't go back to Russia either.

So they get all hearsay, second and third, and they put it together and they don't verify any of it, but they say, here's rough intelligence of what's over there.

Next thing you know, they staple it together, put a hardcover on it, and say, this is a dossier. And still, they go steal. Is this true? He's like, I don't know. The Sheikh who says, True, he goes, Well, that's what I heard.

And then they go, Well, can you verify it? He goes, I really can't. He goes, What if we give you a million dollars just to verify it for us? He's like, I can't. I'm not going to take your money.

But it didn't stop him from lobbying against Donald Trump physically in New York, in Washington and New York, to let people know in the media that this stuff is real and that Donald Trump is corrupt and he's a sellout and he's going to be a sellout to Vladimir Putin. It's just crazy that this all happened and it all took place.

Well, of course, there's a name for that, right? It's called disinformation.

So all these people like Adam Schiff. who's been calling for censorship to stop disinformation. This is disinformation that was used against democracy. This is the ultimate disinformation. You ended up miring a duly elected president in scandal for three years, effectively derailing a presidency based on something that his political opponent hatched up.

And fed to the media.

Now, by the way, that's a huge story. This is the most. Successful political hoax in history. Like, this truly is an amazing story. But no one wants to tell it because they're all sort of co-conspirators.

That's the reason I wrote a piece from the New York Post. saying that this is like the political version of murder on the Orient Express. Everyone did it.

So if everyone does it in Washington, nobody does it because y y no one gets charged. But they all did it.

So, Eric Wempel, who hates Fox, but he's a Washington Post media critic, repeatedly slammed his outlet and other liberal outlets that ran stories based on the dossier. The journalist columns hit out on the bit on the flimsiness of Steele's allegation that claimed that there was a long-running conspiracy between Trump and the Kremlin.

Now, if you're Donald Trump, you think, okay, the Mueller report is done, then the Ukraine call comes up, the impeachment starts again, and then when 2020, Starts. He still is a favorite to win before the pandemic, get another four years. And then out come the Zuckerbucks that flood the zone with millions of dollars in key districts. And then um comes the disinformation on the Hunter Biden laptop.

So if you want me to feel better about the FBI, why would I feel better knowing that this John Paul Isaac. who ran his computer repair store, dropped it off to the FBI, was treated in a hostile fashion and said, look, this is pre pretty bad stuff. They held on to it for eight months. When Rudy Giuliani got it, they briefed major media outlets on to prepare them for the Russian disinformation again in twenty twenty.

So if I want to feel better about the FBI, please tell me how I should when they did it again when it came to the laptop. Yes, well, Brian, the best indication of how insincere the FBI is on this comes from the statement they released almost simultaneously with the report. They said, we've made changes to deal with these missteps. Missed that.

So the FBI ran with a story planted by a political campaign based on nothing and derailed the presidency for three years. And they call it a misstep. That's the lack of seriousness that there is for serious reform. I just want you to hear before we do this, Bill Barr finally spoke about it. He's the one who hired John Durham.

And if anyone comes up to you, Jonathan, and says John Durham's a political hack, tell them to look up Eric Holder's comments. Because Eric Holder, the Attorney General for Barack Obama, says he's got great integrity and said he's untouchable. Nobody was criticizing him. But here's what he said that he found after reading 300 pages flying back from California yesterday with Brad Cutthray. I think what this has shown is that the source and there are really two sources and drivers of this whole ugly episode.

And that is Hillary Clinton's campaign, who launched a smear campaign that was based on getting Russian sources to spread false information about Donald Trump and peddle it to the press and to the government, the FBI. And both the press and the FBI abandoned any semblance of professionalism and took up the cause with a vengeance. And I think the real story here from the FBI's perspective is what an abomination this was, this so-called investigation. If it wasn't a witch hunt, it's a damn good imitation of one. And guess who called it a witch hunt?

President Trump. And guess who was told he was crazy and irrational? Donald Trump. Between this. And some other things that happened with this laptop and being verified afterwards.

This is the type of thing that does vindicate Donald Trump. It does. And look, I'm a big fan of Bill's because we go back a long time. But this is really the result of his decision to appoint John Durham. This is why I've always said that Trump was wrong about Bill Barr, that this is going to create a lasting record.

And while reporters may not report on it now, history will judge, and it will be based largely on this report. And this report is only here because of Bill Barr. I'm a fan of Bill Barr, and for the president not to understand that he's his MVP, that he came in after Jeff Sessions and landed the plane, was that knew all the players, took all the slings and arrows, got it first, disseminated it first, then fret it to the press, then they got it, then the press got it because they were just going to run with sections that they wanted to run with. But he defined it first. Everything he did was brilliant.

And I can't believe because he wouldn't do some of the things the president wanted to do in the last days he was in office, he thought he was the enemy and fired him. But that was one of his worst decisions. Yeah, it was. I went out to lunch with him the day before that happened. And I there was a certain gallows humor at the lunch.

Because the fact is, Bill, the thing I love about Bill Barr, I actually represented him once as a client in addition to being a friend. Is that Bill's the only guy I know in Washington that truly doesn't care what people think of him? I mean, he really doesn't. I mean, it's always amazed me about him. I care more about what people think about Bill Barr than Bill Barr does.

It's true. He does. And that's why when Trump went after him, he's like, okay, if I'm fired, I'll leave. And they ran out quick. It's like, no, please don't leave yet.

Jonathan Terrelli, always great. Thanks for being there every step of the way and making everything seem so digestible. Appreciate it. Thanks, Brian. All right.

That is Jonathan Turley. We come back to your calls, and then we go to Ukraine. It's a busy show.

So glad you're here. Politics, current events, and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say. Stay with Brian Kilmead. A talk show that's real.

This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Hey, welcome back everybody. Got a couple of minutes here. One of the Senator Fetterman was working again. I know it's a rarity.

And he was working, and he was asked a question because they're having a banking committee meeting. And at which time he had to ask a question of the CEO of the failed Silicon Valley Bank. And this guy who cashed in his stock right before the whole thing went belly up, made millions of dollars and just destroyed this thing. He's the utter Definition of incompetence.

So, when Senator Fetterman, Mr. Working Class, had a shot at him, here's his question. Try to make sense of it. I'll give you an example. The Republicans want to give a work requirement for SNAP.

you know, for a a a a a hungry family has to to have these this kind of pen penalties, or these some kinds of word working requirement shouldn't you have a working requirement after we sale your bank with billions of your bank? Because they seem to be more pre preoccupied uh when than Snap. And requirements for works for hungry people, but not about protecting the the tax papers, you know, that will bail no matter whatever. does about a bank to crash it. Sure.

Thank you, Senator Fetterman. I didn't see an eagerness on the panel to answer your questions. Thank you. What what's the question? And no one even knows has any idea what the question is.

You want the CEO to have a work requirement? What are you saying? You don't like that Republicans are negotiating the debt ceiling rise and have a work requirement when it comes to food stamps? That's been on the books for a while, then it got undone.

Now they want to put it back in. That's not the question. You have a problem with mid-sized banks. I mean, clearly, nobody's happy that he's suffering, but he clearly can't do the job. I don't who knows if he's thinking clearly and can't talk or they're both as foggy as that.

My goodness. Hi, good night, everybody. A radio show like no other. It's Brian Kilmeade. With friends like Yevgeny Pregozin, you really don't need enemies.

And I think that Pregozin's days are numbered at this level. What he is doing is in a mafia context, he's ratting out. He's going to find himself at the bad end of a bomb or a cup of poison tea before too much longer. And that's good news for Ukraine and good news for the West. And Joe, if you look at how the spring offensive is going to go, I think it'll start in the days or weeks ahead, certainly.

Weather looks good. The tanks are flowing in. The training, the morale. I think the Ukrainians are going to have a very good spring.

So that was Admiral James Travetis. You know, he's been on the ground in Ukraine quite often, and he was former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, one of his many positions. And he talked about what the rumor is, and I don't know how true it is, that the head of the Wagner Group was dealing with the Ukrainians. He said, Listen, I'll tell you where the Russians are if you just let us take Bakhmood. I never heard anything quite like this, but we don't usually deal with mercenary forces in today's war.

Daniel Bilak is with us now, a member of the Territorial Defense Forces of Ukraine. He's not in Ukraine. He's actually in the studio with us today. He's back. He's an attorney based in Kyiv with the Kinesteller International Law Firm and former chief investment advisor to the Prime Minister of Ukraine.

Daniel, welcome back. Thanks, Brian. Great to be back.

So, first off, on that story of the Wagner Group selling out the Russians that Vladimir Putin says, I don't think this happened. Is any of this true? Have you heard this? Yeah, I who knows? I mean, this is this is like a well, we're fighting yeah, we're fighting at least two armies because Gazprom apparently has their own private army now as well.

Is that true? Yeah.

And but, you know, it it doesn't really matter because the what what the what the takeaway should be is that they are they are they are completely disorganized. They're poorly led. They don't have a plan. You know, they're farming out major battles to mercenaries. You know, this should be telling our our allies and the American people that this war is absolutely winnable and by the Ukrainians and that the Russians are in complete disarray and on the back foot.

They wanted to take Bakhmood by their May Day, their celebration of their win in World War II, stopping the Nazis. They did not take it. They were desperate to do it. In fact, you guys are being to take land back from there.

Some questioned why you were fighting for something that was strategically not significant. And the answer was, because we're killing so many Russians, it is just too opportunistic. Opportunistic force. They were literally throwing people at you guys. Yeah, I mean, this is the way Russia has fought every war.

You know, they just throw bodies and try to overwhelm you. They don't care how many people of their own side die. I mean, they wanted to take Bakhmut by the end of the new year. They wanted to take it by March 8th, International Women's Day. And they wanted to take it by May 9th, the celebration of the victory in World War II.

And they haven't taken any of those dates. And, you know, Bakhmut for them was some sort of sacred rite to show that they could actually take a city and they could win something after a year. For us, it was also the degradation of their forces, the attrition that we put on them. But also, Withdrawing from Bakhmut would have been very difficult for us because Bakhmut is a fortress. It's geographically on high ground, and by controlling that ground, it means that we can control that area, and it means we prevent them then from going through Karmatorsk and Slovyansk.

And so it was it w it wasn't like the end of the year.

So there was necessary strategic advantage. There was very strategic advantage to holding it. And our military just does not want to fight to reclaim even more land later on.

So last night, evidently 18 Russian missiles, all knocked down by the Patriot defenses of Kiev.

So they were aiming for Kyiv, all unsuccessfully, including another hypersonic was knocked down.

So Admiral Stravita said we must have been lucky because our Patriots are not capable. Of knocking down a hypersonic. But this is the second time this has since happened. What does it tell you? Are the Russians do they not have a true hypersonic missile?

Are the Patriots better than we thought? I think the story is a little different, Brian. I think that it just goes to the ingenuity of Ukrainians. We have proven time and time again that you give us the weapons and we will make them work for us the way we need them to work in this war. And that's why the narrative that it takes so long to train the Ukrainians, et cetera, et cetera, has been put paid to so many times.

Our guys in six weeks learned how to use the Patriots. Normally, it's six months. Because they know how to use. They're not high school graduates or college graduates going in with no training. They're people who know how to use artillery systems.

Well, the other thing that's key is that they're aiming for our Patriots. They are aiming for the Patriots. They want to take this. This time they actually have those missiles have a missiles. Apparently.

Apparently, Information is different, whether this has been crucial or has been knocked out or not. It doesn't look like it has been. But really, the important part is that our people are soldiers. They take all this zoo of weapons of different sorts and we string them together and we make them interoperable, which is something that NATO nations have struggled to do.

So, how important was the Zelensky trip to the Vatican? France To the UK. in Germany. He just did that I think ten days. Less.

Yeah.

Look, the president is a force of nature, really. You're a Prushenko guy, right? No, I'm not. I've always served the country and served the Ukrainian people. And I was an advisor to Prime Minister Groisman.

And Groisman and Poroshenko didn't have a great relationship. But I knew President Poroshenko. I respected him as well. But what President Zelensky is doing is exactly what he should be doing. He doesn't meddle with his generals.

He goes out and he builds alliances. And really, what the message is now is that, guys, let's not pull our punches. We are close to victory, and it has to be total victory. And President Zelensky said, our freedom is your freedom. Our victory is your victory.

And there is no upside to leaving, to negotiating with the Russians, as some people want us to do, to leave them on some of our territory. All that means is you're basically condemning those people to slavery and slaughter. And leaving them in Crimea is like having an aircraft carry. Barrier pointed at the heart of the country. I mean, it'll destroy our economy.

And it's not in NATO's or America's interest either. You'll never have peace and stability in Europe so long as Putin is in Ukraine. And I think that's the message that's really being driven home by the President now. And I think it's being heard by our allies. And then you have to wonder, too, okay.

Iran, how many more drones do you want to give these guys? If it becomes clear that they're beginning to lose massive real estate, China has got to say to themselves, you know, how much do I want to dig in here? There was a report in the Wall Street Journal today that China is paying the price on their economy because of the war in Ukraine. This is the other part of the equation: is that aside from Ukraine is the epicenter right now, Brian, of global change. And what happens in Ukraine will determine what's going to happen in the world for a generation.

Everybody's watching this. And if America backs down, if it's seen to be weak in its resolve to help Ukraine, China will take that and factor that into its equation of what to do with Taiwan. But in the other global South, we've seen South Africa, India, Brazil sitting on the fence.

Now they're wondering, should we really be back in the Russians? And they've really moderated some of their rhetoric. What about South Africa providing a lot of the parts and chips for Russia? I don't get it. It comes back to the same thing as I didn't get why Israel was on the fence before as well.

I mean, I don't know why you know why because the Russians are allowing them to hit targets inside Syria and providing them. But that's very self-serving because you guys represent so much what Israel fights for. Because they're fighting invasion every day. Yeah.

Yeah, and I was actually talking to a former Israeli commando yesterday. He now has a different job. But he said, you know, we we we live what you got. We we the people of Israel feel what you what you're going through because we live this every day, as you say. Right.

And the only way to stop the invasion is to be uh military superior to everybody and and make them pay the price for every time rockets come in. You know, there was a saying I heard somebody say that s never again. means you have to stand up and fight. Because if you're not prepared to stand up and defend your freedom, then somebody's going to try to take it away from you.

Now think about this. If Ukraine is not able to push back and get the 17% of their land back that the Russians have taken, that's roughly they was at 25% and you guys pushed back and got this much. What would it say? Because NATO, everybody's pitched in to some degree, the U.S. more than everybody else.

You know, the UK just gave you long-range rockets. If Russia is able to prevail, and NATO was who put everything behind the Ukraine, they're able to prevail. It is a terrible message for the next 50 years. I think there's two assumptions in there, Brian. One of them is that we're getting everything that we've been promised and we're not there yet.

It's coming in. It's still coming in. It could be faster and it could be more. Yeah, the UK has given us some long-range rockets, but until we get American attack'ems, we can't take Crimea or how politics works. Does this clear the way for the ATAC'ems?

I really hope so. I really hope so. The Brits have been brilliant over the course of this war. Three prime ministers.

Well, but they gave us tanks first. They gave us other the anti-aircraft first when everybody was worried about escalation, escalation. Putin has been very, very astute at weaponizing fear, especially in the administration, and weaponizing fear among the European allies. The only country that has not allowed itself to be drawn into that has been the UK and the Polish and obviously the Nordic states.

So they're pushing, and I'm really hopeful that this is a precursor to us getting the ATACMs because we really, really need them. Daniel Billak is here from Freshoff, Ukraine, where every inch is really a battlefield. You live in Kyiv? Yes.

So you said you could hear the difference with the Patriot as opposed to your other missile districts. Yeah, the other night when they launched the big rocket attack, and I was woken up. Normally, it sounds like what's going on. With our S-300 anti-aircraft, anti-missile systems. This one was and I thought, oh, wow, that's music to my ears.

And does it also mean a lot of rockets are coming? Because you had 18 last time. A lot of rockets.

So, I mean, my kids were telling me that they were up, you know, they're young ki children. How old are they? They're 11. How is this affecting them? They um you know, in different ways.

Uh their kids are resilient. Obviously, they're they're aware of this. They were saying they were w was saying in the middle of the night watching uh uh missile parts, flaming missile parts falling uh on uh from the sky. Um you know, it's kind of a a different kind of a fireworks display. Growing up quick, huh?

But you know, I I've had conversations with them where they say, you know, Daddy, explain to us what the difference is between tactical nuclear weapons and strategic ballistic nuclear weapons. I mean, I couldn't string those words together when I was 11, let alone, you know, even try to conceptualize what that was.

So so you have that conversation. You know, they have they need to understand what's going on in the world. They certainly understand good and evil. This is a very black and white situation, and they understand the need that we have to win. We have no choice but to win.

You know, the people that want us to get into negotiations don't understand that when you're fighting with somebody who wants to exterminate you and you want to live, it's like Gold of Mair said: when you want to live and they want you to die, there's not a lot of room to compromise. I understand. Also, some good news. It looks like the grain deal that Turkey brokered is going to continue. You'll be able to ship grain.

Is that the reality you know it? It is for the moment. The Russians will yank that chain any time that they feel it's necessary, especially as things expect a lot more of these kinds of shenanigans and disruptive behavior and cyber attacks and other things in the West as a way to try to deter our allies or try to convince our allies to pull us back when our counteroffensive becomes successful. The one thing that people are waiting for is for you guys to start making some gains. That will help politically everybody.

Republicans that want to support, and some that are getting worried, because the American worry is we're depleting a lot of our stock. And we see a very belligerent China overseas, who, to a degree, are upset about how it's affected their economy. The other thing says: hey, America, without all its rockets, without their coffers full, kind of helps us. I'm sure you see that from their perspective, too. Yeah, listen, there isn't anybody more vested in gains on the ground than the Ukrainian people.

So we totally get it. But your point about the depletion of stocks and ammunition and things like that, really point to the fact that when you listen to the military brass in the United States, in the UK, and even in Europe, they're all saying we need to move to more of a wartime economy where we're starting to produce these things again. And they need to be produced at scale. Call. This is a wake-up call.

And to go to, not that it involves you, but they say these five-year deals or these four-year deals don't work. If you are some of these major weapons manufacturers, you need a 10-year contract. Look, and especially if you're in the camp that says, let's leave Russia the way it is because that's more convenient for us.

Well, Russia the way it is is going to be a continued threat to peace stability in Europe and globally, and you've got to be ready for a war because he's going to come back. You'll never have peace, you'll have a pause. Yes.

Listen, there's the spring offensive or summer offensive. When's it going to start? Are things really thawing out over there? After all, many people feared no power, no gas, no oil from Russia in the winter. What's Europe going to do?

They did more than survive. We'll get the details on the man who heard who knows everything about dollars and cents, Daniel Billek, fresh off Keefe. Don't move. Coming to you on a need-to-know basis because Mandy, you need to know. It's Brian Kilmead.

The more you listen, the more you'll know it's Brian Killmead. It was nice of him to stop by before he has to go back to the war zone, which sadly is his country. Daniel Bilak is here, a member of the Territorial Defense Forces of Ukraine, and used to be the chief investment advisor to the prime minister of Ukraine, but him and his family are still living there now, hoping for a big spring. How did the winter go? with uh them with russia targeting uh all of your power zones Yeah, it was uh it was a it was a tough winter, uh I have to say.

Uh mercifully, uh the weather was warm. Russia always counts on General Winter to fight on their side, and this year he went the other way. But, you know, it was it's eerie when you all you have no power. I have a I have a generator, so I was able to keep the lights on more or less, but still, you know, a lot of things don't work. And, you know, we j but you know, we just Pardon the pun, powered through.

Europe also did. They did a good job collecting natural gas from other sources. I hope they're all learning their lesson. No matter how when this ends. You can never go back to depending on Russia for energy.

100%, Brian. Do you think they learned their lesson? I think they learned a lot of lessons. First of all, I think they've started to found they found their own mojo, and we helped them do that. That they got the confidence that, hey, you know, we can do this without Russia.

And Germany, especially, did a brilliant job in filling its reservoirs before the war. They allow the Nordstrom 2 to be bent around you guys, avoiding you guys. And they already had a Nordstrom 1 by the time Trump came in. Trump came in and said, Really? You guys have no you're going to do this pipeline while I'm watching your back against Russia?

You're going to be addicted to their free gas. All of the Eastern Europe, Ukraine, Poland, were all screaming that this is not a commercial deal. This is totally political. And they're going to take you by a certain body part and make sure that they squeeze. And they did.

And Trump did give you weapons during your time, right? Oh, we had tremendous support from the Trump administration. during uh b before the war. And for the minute we have left, tell people what we can expect this spring and summer. When do you think roughly the surge will start, the counteroffensive will start?

Well, actually, Brian, I think it started now. We're doing what the military calls shaping operations, where we're bombing out. You hear about what's going on, and we're taking out ammunition dumps and fuel in Sevastopol and in other places.

So I think that if we get everything that we're promised and our allies stick with us to the extent we get everything that we need to get, this will be done by the end of the year. Right. And then the bigger question is, take Crimea. You say yes. Oh, yeah.

I say the Russian army collapses and we take Crimea. Absolutely. Daniel Bilak, stay safe. God bless. God bless the people of the United States.

From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City. Always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kelmead. Hi everyone, Brian Kilme here. Welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kilme show.

So glad you're here. The great Sid Rosenberg, the number one morning show in New York City, which is really the epicenter of what's happening at the border. I can't believe I'm talking about this, but you know it's true. In Arizona, in California, in Texas. Obviously, you guys have it worse, but in New York City, 60,000 people know where to put them.

Constant debate, fights between cities and counties, and the governor. All about people that don't even belong here, limited dollar trying to stretch it out. And they get priority over people that are here living paycheck to paycheck. They can't afford daycare. And now you say, well, the taxes are going up, the rent is so high.

Oh, where's it going? It's going to illegals in 141 separate facilities. And now 10 different gyms in New York City are being looked at with school kids in them. Big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. I think that as a Florida resident, he didn't give an answer about would you have signed the heartbeat bill that Florida did. That had all the exceptions that people talk about. The legislature put it in.

I signed the bill. I was proud to do it. He won't answer whether he would sign it or not. 2024, DeSantis, Scott, Pence, get closer to officially joining the GOP jungle. And Will Hurd just told us this show that he'll probably decide in the next couple of weeks.

But can anyone catch Trump? Number two. My worst fears are that we cause significant harm. We, the field, the technology, the industry, cause significant harm. Harm to the world.

If this technology goes wrong, it can go quite wrong. And we want to be vocal about that. Yep, Sam Altman, Mr. AI, if this technology goes wrong, it can go very wrong. Wow, that was the warning that we just heard from Chat GPT's Sam Altman issued during yesterday's Senate hearing, which was fascinating.

We'll break down what AI means to you. Number One. This was investigating a presidential campaign based on a lie. No evidence, not even dismissing all the exculpatory evidence. I invite people to look at that report.

Yeah, there you go, William Barr. Give it back. These are the calls from Washington and around the country for these major news organizations who foolishly and carelessly and breathlessly reported on the Trump-Russia collusion scam. It's not true. It never happened.

But they got 30, 40, 50 separate awards from Peabody's Topuliters. And I say, give it back. In fact, Lindsey Graham. I went over this yesterday, and the way I did it, I don't know if I told you this, Allison and Eric, but yesterday I asked Chatbot GPT to name all the awards. Major news organizations won with the Russian collusion scam, and I got the whole listing.

That prompted the talking point on Fox and Friends today. But it was the artificial intelligence that brought it all to fray. Thank God for AI. I guess so. But I mean, I guess someone said they could have Googled it, but I never would have gotten it all together.

Google would have been like listing Washington Post, listing New York Times, listing PBS. I think this put it all together and actually had it uh gave me the number. Know what you could have also done? What? Asked our amazing brain room.

Right. But this way I didn't have to. We do have an amazing. That was one of the smartest things Roger Ailes did: have a brain room as a resource and a backup.

So, when you say, Where'd you get it, brain room? Where'd they get it? They source it to everything you get.

So, that's pretty clear. But as I mentioned, I I had it right here. How many Oh, where is it? I had this great list because I did a walkie. Here it is.

Right to my immediate right. Why didn't I look right?

So it turns out 10 stories by the Washington Post won awards in national reporting. 10 stories by the New York Times won national reporting awards with the Russia collusion, some form of that, let alone the Peabody's, let alone the Polk Awards, which was pioneered by my school, Long Island University.

So, little things like this: this won them award. Headline: The FBI once planned to pay former British spy who authored the controversial Trump dossier. That's called Christopher Steele. The reporting there got an award. How about this?

How the Rush inquiry began, a campaign aid, drinks, and talk of political dirt. And that great research.

Now we know it's an ambassador. The Australian ambassador in the UK having drinks with George Papadopoulos. Launch this whole probe. And guess who was behind it? Hillary Clinton.

Now, if you say Hillary Clinton's campaign was behind the launching of the Durham the launching of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, and it was briefed by John Brennan briefed President Obama on it, and President Obama didn't do anything to stop it, and Hillary Clinton was behind it, and the DNC supplied it and financed it, that would have been an award. There you go. then you would have undone. Four years of hell our country's been through because no matter where you were on Trump. It was a huge distraction for our country, and we put took our eye off the ball, including the buildup of China.

We stopped maybe trade deals from being executed and maybe some type of diplomatic relations that might have been able to avoid this war. Also, don't forget the Edward R. Morrow Award went to the Washington Post. They should be embarrassed.

So. I went over some of this stuff. I'm not sure they're going to give it all back. Lindsey Graham weighed in. Lindsey Graham weighed in yesterday and also pointed out, and maybe it was my idea, pointed out that this Durham report gave all these people all these awards, all these raises, all these promotions, all this fame, and they should just undo it.

Here is Lindsey Graham talking about that cut eight. Three things should happen. Garland should pick up the phone and call all those that were harmed by this and say, even though it didn't happen on my watch, I apologize to you. This is not the Department of Justice that I want you to believe in. I would like the FBI director Ray to get on the phone and apologize to the people that had their lives ruined by the FBI.

And I think the pullet surprise given to the Washington Post and New York Times should be taken back because the entire episode was politically motivated crap. That's not something you should get a Pullet Surprise for. It's true. I don't know if they ever give it back, though. That's pretty clear.

But it's amazing with the way other outlets are playing this. They're saying there's no big deal. What a waste of six million dollars. I don't think so. You think John Duran's a political animal?

I don't think so. Look at look just Google John Durham. And reviews. You get praise for both sides of the aisle. People want to see you rest.

Okay, everybody will want that. But look at the report. You say, well, this is not criminal. This is unethical. And this is just idiocy.

And this is agenda-driven. And it's embarrassing that Andy McCabe has a job in television. It's embarrassing that Peter Skrzok has a job in television. I think Lisa Page has got a job on television, although I never see her. What's the ramification to this?

Well, the FBI has got to get their credibility back, and they're not rushing to get it back when you see what they did with the Hunter Biden laptop a year and a half after the Mueller report's been out, and they should have been embarrassed. And do you see anything changing when it comes to the Hunter Biden investigation? KD Pavlich cut nine. This 306-page report is full of things that the FBI did to break protocol to get to where they wanted to go. But it's really simple.

In August of 2016, Peter Strzok, who was in charge of this investigation, was texting with Lisa Page about stopping Donald Trump from becoming president, and they used the FBI to do that.

Now, the White House has been asked about this. Jake Sullivan is now the National Security Advisor who started pushing this narrative on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign. And what the Durham report also said is: yes, these reforms have been implemented, but unless the FBI gets back to an ethos of protecting the American people away from politics and back to the Constitution, then it will be, quote, fruitless for the efforts to change the trust that the American people no longer have in the institution. That's a problem. And that to me is: if you just look at this, if you want to ignore it and say it's no big deal, it's a waste of money, I just ask you this.

Did Donald Trump collude with Russia? If I don't care if you're hosting the view. Or if you're Rachel Maddow. You said the exact opposite. You were going with reports from Mother Jones to Washington Post.

Now that you've seen the Mueller report, you read the Horowitz investigation, the IG report, and now that you read the Dorham report. Tell me you still believe he colluded with Russia. Because he didn't. And when you realize all those reports can't be wrong.

Now you know why. People are angry and want to see people arrested and feel like we've wasted a lot of political capital and our lives. And if you're Donald Trump, you're watching your family be threatened. They're targeting your son. They're targeting your son-in-law.

They're targeting your daughter. They're harassing you and your private business that Eric Trump was in charge of as vice president. They're still being harassed today, and he's a fighter. Look, I don't think Donald Trump is playing a perfect game by a long shot, but these two, this revelation. is significant in the Durham Report.

Now, if you want to know how paranoid the administration is, listen to KJP yesterday, Cut One. What is the White House reaction to Special Counsel Durham's report on how the FBI handled the Trump-Russia probe? I would leave it to the Department of Justice to speak to. Does he agree with Special Counsel Durham that there needs to be wholesale changes at the FBI? Again, that is with the Department of Justice.

That's not something that I'm going to speak from the podium. As you just stated in your question, we believe an independent Department of Justice. That's what the President said when he was running, and that's what the President has said the last two years. Thank you so much. I'll see you guys in Japan.

Hmm. President was briefed, I believe the Vice President was briefed too, about what Hillary Clinton was up to. They didn't stop it. I don't think they were behind it, but at the same time, in the last year, he was trying to enrich himself, it seems, with Hunter Biden taking the lead. Antonio Bobolinski told the story, and still no one carried it outside Fox and a few other outlets.

About what the Biden family was up to.

So, for people to say, well, that was then, this is now, I made reforms. I don't blame you for saying I'm not buying it.

So when we come back, we're going to talk to Sid Rosenberg and others. We're going to talk to him about what's happening in New York City, how we have veterans being kicked out of hotel rooms, homeless veterans. We have weddings that were paid for, contracts signed that were broken, and these weddings will have to take place elsewhere because all of illegal aliens are spread all across New York City. Finally, a judge stopped the moving, the busing of them into Rockland, Orange County. How many more will stand up?

I understand they're going to be shipping them over to Riverhead. They might be the best people in the world. I'm not talking about them. They don't belong here. They came here illegally.

They shouldn't be here. And the reason why I think Joe Biden's going to pay the price is because these cities are overrun and run by Democrats. They have only one person to blame, 1-800 Joe Biden. In fact, Eric Adams has done so much blaming and pointing that he is now off the President's Reelection Committee. This is the Brian Kill Mead Show.

Don't move. Want even more, Brian? Download the podcast at BrianKillMeadShow.com. Every episode, exclusive interviews on demand. More of Kill Mead coming up.

If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead. But we're not getting the support that we deserve here in New York City. People are coming through the bordering states, but they're ending up in New York and New York City, Chicago, and other northern cities. It's clear that the blueprint has become that send migrants to these big cities in the north, particularly to New York City, and it has overwhelmed our services.

Every service in our city is going to be impacted by this action. And Eric Adams made it clear when he was on our Fox affiliate, local Fox affiliate, that he says, Joe Biden, this is really on you. And that has created a lot of friction. But don't worry, Alice Sharfton says he's going to broker a peace between Biden and Eric Adams. With me in the studio, Sid Rosenberg, host of Sid and Friends on our great affiliate 77 WABC.

I brought him uptown on a day he's nursing a series of injuries. And he's going to look to put that behind him and try to sold you through. Usually, when I walk over here from WABC, the radio studios are pretty close. It takes me about 10 minutes. This was a 25-minute walk due to the severity of my hamstring injury.

But I wouldn't miss being with you for the world.

So I'm here. I'm kind of like Willis Reed, game seven against the Lakers. People are comparing that. Yes.

A lot of people. I'll hit a couple of shots early, then I'm getting out. Right. Right. And Walfrasi will never get the credit he deserves.

Well, what a game he had. 36 points and 19 assists.

So you're comparing you, the six-foot. 10-inch center walking out of the Madison Square Garden to you walking into a building and pressing the button on an elevator. Eerily similar. Very, it's so similar. By the way, when I come to this building, whether it's to do your radio show, your TV show, or Jesse's TV show, I get in downstairs and then I get to a certain floor and I can't get in the building at that point.

I know. I stand outside for 15 minutes till somebody goes, hey, that's it, let him in. Right. Which, by the way, you'd hope we'd have a better security system than that. You know, hey, that's Sid, let him in.

Hey, it's every bit as bad as the border. You know, my orchestra was bad? How about this? This is true. That's the Majorca, it's the Majorca's method.

Hey, there's Sid, let him in. And that's pretty much how we decide who gets in our country. That is true. Your paper pass doesn't work? It does not work at the door.

It works downstairs, then you get to the actual floor, and then you're locked out. And you know whose fault that is? Donald Trump. Allison. Oh, okay.

Allison. She's the best. I refuse to blame her. Right. I blame you.

Dan, what about Eric? You can blame Eric. Eric, yeah.

So, um, so just so you heard Eric Adams, he's getting ticked. And this is a man-made, Joe Biden-made disaster. Listen, he does not call out Joe Biden. Stop with that. He says, federal government.

I've never heard the mayor say Joe Biden's name once, not once. He goes, This is a federal government problem. Here's the next thing, and I got to give my buddy Curtis Sleever, who's listening now, a ton of credit. He works tirelessly at this, okay? All these hotels, the newest one is the Q Motor in Queens.

All these hotels, the Roosevelt Hotels owned by a Pakistani, they're all owned by LLC. When you do a deep dive into these LLCs, what you find out is their names, who they really are, and most of them, if not all of them, are Democrat donors. And they give money to campaigns like Kathy Hochl and Eric Adams.

So don't you think for a second he's not making money here? That is so interesting. I never thought about who owns the hotels. Yeah.

Because the hotels get totally paid out. Right. You're kicking out wedding parties. Yes, and veterans, good, good American veterans are getting kicked out.

So Democrats can get paid. And also. They're dropping off a lot of these folks in Republican towns, including mine.

So let's not be sympathetic to Eric Hadam. He's doing okay these days. You just educated me big time. Gary Moretti is one of the people who called the hotel. He's supposed to be getting married at this hotel.

He rented the whole thing, COT 27. Got a phone call from my sister. that she turned around and to check out the news, look at your hotel. No phone call, no text message, no email from them about any cancellations. I Yeah.

Their first things out of their mouth are I asked them about the migrants going in there. Is it going to be safe for my guests and ourselves to be there? They said, no, you have nothing to worry about. And in my heart, I'm thinking, okay, cool. They're like, your reservation then.

your contract's been canceled. And I go, hook, excuse me. Please repeat that for me, please. And so basically, they said, no, there's nothing we can do. Everything's been taken care of.

It's a complete madhouse in here, and there's nothing I can do. Unbelievable. Can you imagine that? No. No.

They don't even call him. They don't even call him. It's so disgusting.

Now, later on tonight, The cousin of Rudy Giuliani, Rudy Giuliani, he's having a fundraiser for the aforementioned Mayor Eric Adams at his house in Flushing, Queens. And a lot of these. LLCs and real estate guys, don't be surprised. Don't be surprised if they show up at the Adams fundraiser later on tonight. Just saying.

So, what happens is it helps these hotels when you walk in with one check. Every room is instantly sold out. It doesn't even matter. This more than covers the damage that might be done from people you don't know. I spoke to a Queen's Councilwoman this morning, Vicki Palladino.

She said there was a hotel in her neighborhood they were broke, didn't make money since COVID. They just reopened. $300,000 in a week. Brian, they're making millions. That's tax dollars.

Correct. It's not Eric Adams' fortune. No. This is all your money. Correct.

This is why people are leaving. And this is why $60,000 are coming. Unbelievable. Sid Rosenberg here. We're going to go inside the border problem, which is in New York.

Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Hey, we're back. And guess who's in the studio? Sid Rosenberg, host of Sid and Friends of the Morning on 77 WABC, number one in the morning in the number one market.

Sid, I know we don't normally talk about this, but I wanted to expand our relationship in a way that we haven't done before. Oh my God. I'm nervous. Let's talk a little AI. AI.

So it was the only thing that I can remember that both sides were questioning in a legitimate inquiry hearing, almost like a think tank, what is it? What worries you? How do we you want us to regulate, but I don't even know enough to regulate. I would I use that chatbot GBT thing. Do you?

Yes, I use it. And what's funny is the last time I did your really great Folks, really great TV show One Nation. Saturday, eight o'clock. Saturday, eight o'clock. I was there with DeAngelis, Jockey DeAngelis, and we did three topics, and one of them was AI.

That's the first time I started to delve into it. And it is a scary, scary thing. They basically steal your identity in three seconds. Right. And they've already had it where people say, Give me your credit card number.

It's an emergency. I'm being held hostage. Yes.

So yesterday. I hung up with my wife yesterday. Right. I thought it was somebody else. I did not believe it was you.

Because you give me so many compliments. I go, who is stolen?

Something's happening here. There's no way.

So listen to a senator, Richard Blumenthal, who's used to saying things that aren't true, came out and had this statement. And before I tell you what of the background, let's listen. Cut 18. If you were listening from home, you might have thought that voice was mine and the words. Right.

Now, if I could do this again and we weren't live, I'd go cut 17.

So let's pretend we're not live. I'm in a huge delay. This is Senator Blumenthal cut 17. Too often. We have seen what happens when technology outpaces regulation.

The unbridled exploitation of personal data. the proliferation of disinformation. And the deepening of this, and then he says this, cut 18. If you were listening from home, you might have thought that voice was mine and the words. From me, but in fact That voice.

Was not mine. The words were not mine. And the audio was an AI voice cloning software. Trained on my floor speeches. What do you think about that?

I think if I was Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and Bayorkis, I blame AI. Based on me. Wasn't me. I had a much better border policy. Border Secure wasn't me.

So. Do you think that people are going to laugh at us in twenty twenty three the way we're probably laughing in nineteen ninety three when the Internet started coming out and people started making comments like this thing can look up everything and they know everything. We laugh at that now. Are we going to be laughing at what we thought about AI? I don't think people are laughing.

I think this is a genuine concern. People are nervous. You know, look, we had the thing with TikTok not that long ago with the Chinese basically take every bit of our information from our kids.

Now you've got AI. I don't think it's a laughable matter. I think people on both sides, it's bipartisan, like you talked about, are really nervous, really nervous that this is going to pave the way, make 1984 look like Mr. Rogers. Right.

So I don't think it's a laughable matter. I think it's a very serious matter, and I think it does need to be looked at in Congress.

So, this is what worries me. Sam Altman, the founder and creator of Chatbot GBT, he says this. He's the AI CEO. Cut 14. My worst fears are that we cause significant we, the field, the technology, the industry, cause significant harm to the world.

If this technology goes wrong, It can go quite wrong and we want to be vocal about that. We want to work with the government to prevent that from happening. Wow. You invented it. And he's like, I'm afraid it could destroy the world.

Has that ever happened to you? Did you invent something and then not release it because it could destroy the world? Yeah, every day. That's what I do. Oh, I do go to chat by TG.

How do you say it again? GBT. Yeah, and I put in, I said, I swear to God, this is true. I go, tell me why Sid Rosenberg right now is the most popular and best radio host in the country. And literally, it put together like a three-paragraph whole thesis as to why that is exactly the case.

You didn't argue with me. Were you satisfied? I was the person who was going to say, who? Who told you that? But they gave me a legitimate three-paragraph reason why what I said was exactly right.

Allison, you think my ego's out of control? I mean, can you imagine the first thing you ask AI is why am I so great? I mean, come on. He's got to be worse than anything you witnessed me do. To be fair, that was the second thing you asked.

That is so wrong. I mean, what an ego.

Well, listen, I did get a 7-5 last book, so it doesn't come without numbers to back it up, you know. Those are real numbers. Those are real numbers. 7-1 and April, these are legitimate real radio numbers. All right.

Now, back to the real world, if we can. We're talking about what's happening in New York. I think that when you talk about what's happening at the border, I could not get people interested. I used to see it, and we have these great teams, got the drone team up there. You know, Fox is doing an incredible job, Bill Meluji and Griff Jenkins.

What is it done? That Chicago is overwhelmed with maybe 600. And they were overwhelmed with 60,000.

Now, Sid, you don't have to reach for this topic anymore, right? No, no, no. It's on everybody's mind. It's everywhere. I just told you, actually, that my friend, the actor Scott Bale, left Los Angeles, moved to Miami.

They've got the combination, like we do here in New York, of homeless and illegals. Not migrants, illegals. In Los Angeles, yes, Brad Pitt left, and Keddy Perry left. And, you know, now Billy Joel left New York and he went down to Palm Beach. Everybody's talking about it.

Everybody is. And the truth is, Eric Adams comes out a couple of weeks ago, made it a racial issue here in New York. He talked about, well, this is only happening to black mayors. And I say this to Eric Adams: if Bill de Blasio was still the mayor of New York City, and last night checked, Bill de Blasio was very white, they'd still be coming. It's not black, it's blue.

Blue for Democrat mayors, blue for Democrat governors, blue for the states. This is where the problems are. It's not Florida. Texas has their issues, but Abbott does a decent job of dealing with it. Could you imagine if the mayors in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles had to deal with El Paso in Texas?

It would be a worse disaster. It's a matter of politics, not race. And mayors like Eric Adams need to stop that nonsense.

Well, they have to. But now I heard yesterday, and I got you, because I was with our St. Louis affiliate, and they say, well, Eric Adams has petitioned to get rid of Sanctuary City status. One of the governors in the area, excuse me, one of the county executives in the area, I think it was Rockland, said that, yeah, he mentioned he's going to try to get rid of it. Do you believe it?

Well, I heard he was actually in court a couple of days ago, Brian, so there is some truth to that story. I can't confirm that. I do believe, at the very least, he's looking into it, but you can't have it both ways, right? You can't be a sanctuary city, welcome these people in, and then complain, stop giving me people. I mean, I had this discussion today.

Again, just stop it. We can't do it anymore. Like you talk about 60,000. We're out of gyms. We're out of hotels.

I'm sick of kicking out veterans. I'm sick of little kids going to gymnasiums they can't go to anymore. We just. Can't do it. You can't have it both ways, be a sanctuary city, and at the same time complain they're sending folks our way.

So, what does bother me is the reaction from the families? They're obviously worried about their kids, so they're boycotting school. These kids have been missing so much school already to keep them home for another week is crazy. One of the schools, to your point, Brian, in Brooklyn today, I believe Sunset Park, one-third, that is a lot of kids, Brian. One-third of the kids stayed home.

We just went through COVID where the teachers' union did the best they could to destroy our kids, and they did a good job, Randy Weingarten, Michael Mulgrew, destroying our kids.

Now we've got this. When in this country are going to worry about the kids, the veterans, those type of people, these political leaders, they just don't care. Right. When we come back, Sid Rosenberg will comment on was it a good move or not? In the Saudi Back Live Golf League, they're in a dramatic finish.

It was preempted by the Penn and Teller Skincare Infomercial. Was that a good move? Stop. Don't answer. Think about it because I know you know the business.

You got to pay the bill somehow. Stopping the last round of the live tournament so Penn and Teller can sell skincare. Is that a move that Sid would back? Think about it. Play this game at home.

What would Sid do? Which everyone has. And then try to anticipate his reaction. Don't move. Educating, entertaining, enlightening.

You're with Brian Kilmead. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. We are back, so sit, everyone's wondering. The question I asked you on the way out.

Do you remember that question? I do. Why would Penn and Teller be on in the middle of nail-by-time during the LV Golf Championship?

Now, in the Live, yeah, in the Live tournament, they're trying to establish themselves. Do you think this is a good move?

Well, let me tell you this, Brian Kilmead. Every decision I make these days, I think about one man and one man only. Not you, I'm sorry. That's President Donald Trump. Was on my radio show just Thursday for 18 minutes.

We had a great conversation. I know he would be furious if I want the truth social, which I haven't. I'm sure he wrote something.

So if Donald Trump. doesn't like it. Then Sid Rosenberg doesn't like it. That's my answer. All right, before we do that, a couple of things.

You know that they did something the PGA won't do? They play at Donald Trump courses. I know that. Right. And that's where the that's all political.

That's a political move to move out of the course.

So that hurt him. This helps him. It does. And look, he has made it very, very clear whether it's Dana White, right, with the MMA, UFC, or the Live Golf Tour, he's going to support those folks. And they've got some great names.

You know that. They stole almost all the big names outside of Tiger, who can't play anymore anyway. Greg Norman's done a pretty good job there.

So it seems weird that the CW would, in Brooklyn, especially, would go away from nail bite time during a big golf tournament to go to Penn and Tattoo. That's awful. Awful. When you think of Penn and Tattoo, do you think skincare? Every time.

You do. Again, that's a little different. Weight loss way back when. Before we get into more to know, which you didn't know we were doing that, right? I had no idea.

Actually, it doesn't matter. It's not that you're going to do it. You're not going to do well anyway in it because these are cold reads. And that you have nothing to do with the topics. Nothing.

Right. So about Donald Trump, do you believe it's his nomination to lose, or do you think it's so early? Almost, remember, we thought the Mets were going to run away with the East? And spring training?

So do you believe it's over? Stop. He's on forty-four points. Stop. In the morning consult.

I don't care what poll it is. Ron DeSantis, great guy, great governor. He has not a little bit of charisma. He's got none. We need that tough, charismatic guy.

That is Donald Trump. Again, Ron DeSantis, good policies. Why? They're Trump's policies. I love the paternal lockdown in Florida, don't get me wrong.

He's done some great things there, but Ron DeSantis is not Donald Trump, and this country is in such bad shape, such dire straits. We can't take our chances with a rookie. We need the guy that's actually won already and done it. That's Donald Trump, not Ron DeSantis. He's going to murder the field.

I don't want to hear about Nikki Haley Tim. Stop, stop. He wins the nomination easily. The question is: does he win the GE? Hey, Eric, I know this is a last-minute request, but are you recording this?

We do.

Okay, because I think this is something that Sid Rosenberg has been around the block so many times. You worn out two pairs of loafers.

So you know we can't pick out things before they start. Not true. You know that. Oh, that is it President Scott Walker? Is it President Rudy Giuliani?

Is it President Hillary Clinton? Mm-hmm. I mean, this is how early, Sid, you've brought up the momentum. These are momentum. This is a momentum choice.

Except none of those people you just mentioned were president. He's already done it. Remember Grover Cleveland? No, not really. Did he pit for the Indians?

He wasn't that good, so he became president.

So he became president, lost it, and came back. That was it. Right. So Trump will do the same thing 45 and 47, even though, according to Donald, of course, he won all three. Two things are taking place to back you up.

This Durham report, even if you don't like it and want to ignore it, it says that he was right. Of course. Jay Tapper came out and said he was right. Of all people. And Jay Tapper was the first to malign Donald Trump after Caitlin Collins embarrassed herself on CNN.

Right. So it wasn't easy for him to do. No. So those type of things are happening. And then you're watching all the Biden policies, which are the inverse of Trump.

Correct. The thing that I differ from Trump is on Ukraine, they have a chance to win this thing big. They have to send a message. I agree with Trump. On everything.

No matter what he says, that's it. But I really do agree with Trump. I think this Ukraine thing has become a disaster for this country. Enough is enough. We'll get to that later.

Right. But you're right. I'm totally wrong about that. No, I'm 100% right. But Biden.

That's right. Let the West lose to every belligerent dictator. Please. We can't win every war. They've been doing that for a long time.

Russia and Ukraine. No, they haven't. Long time. Long time. No, no.

They've hated each other for thousands of years. Right. And just watch. You just, well, what is this? This is May.

This is May, yeah. June fifteenth, are you available? Uh no. June 15th, we're going to watch the biggest surge you've ever seen. We are.

All right. By the way, he changed all the time. But Ronda Sanders does have. Don't get caught up with the lack of charisma. Zero chance.

Because he has charisma. Zero chance. He's very deliberate. He's very direct. He's what?

He's very direct. He is? Yes.

Okay, great. He ain't going to win. Right. And all the things that Biden changed, he only did it to be spiteful for Donald Trump. Think about that.

He knows they're good. If he had to remain in Mexico policy right now. Come on.

So that that's the best thing for Trump is that Biden is failing miserably. Correct. So that's that's the best thing that goes on outside of as I told you. But the number two the number two thing that Trump has going for him Is the fact that he is the only person to get crowds. All right, crowds.

Number two is the thing that he doesn't have going for him is the sponsors, the donors. Evidently down dramatically. Not that he needs the money, but he needs the support. Yeah, but since the book ban and the six-week abortion, some of the big donors have left DeSantis too. They're not book bans.

He's just saying pornography should not be with toddlers. I agree with him. I agree with almost everything DeSantis does. He's great, and he'll be a great president at 48. All right, let's find out if there's more to know, Sid.

Let's listen. I don't get cancelled because I do stage shows. The lovely thing about doing stage shows is that people think to themselves, I like him, so I'll buy a ticket. The audience is preselected to like me. Isn't it great?

Go on stage. You can't be canceled, just like Dave Chappelle. No one's canceling Dave Chappelle when he sells that arenas. Just like my mother, Naomi Rosenberg, 88 years old, on my radio show every two weeks. She refers to Joe Biden as the creature in the White House.

And you can't cancel him. Nope, not Naomi.

Next. Intoxicated intruder enters Washington home of Biden's national security advisor. Do you believe this? In the dead of the night. Jake Sullivan.

They walked in. He's got Secret Service. The guy walks in drunk. Unbelievable. What's our Secret Service doing?

Well, this happens all the time, though, right? They get into the White House, they get into people's houses. Our Secret Service, not its best right now. All right, I've mentioned the Saudi story. We move on.

Memphis Grizzly star Jean Morant responds after a second video appearing to show him holding a gun. He says he's got to continue to work on himself. Forgive him. First of all, the NBA needs to step up big here. David Silver, suspend this kid for six months, maybe the whole season.

This kid is beyond stupid to show a gun twice on Instagram and blow millions. Millions and millions of dollars. It's not just stupidity. He's got a real issue, Mr. Tough Guy issue.

The NBA David Silver, step up, be tougher once in your life, and suspend this kid for the season. He says, I know I've disappointed a lot of people who have supported me. This is a journey, and I recognize there's more work to do. No kidding. Put down the gun and stop smoking pot.

When you go back to the top three picks, it's Zion. It is Morant and it is R.J. Barrett. Did the Knicks make the right pick? They did.

Tyon never plays. He's always hurt. Morant's a criminal. Right. Good job by the Knicks.

Good job. Good job. Even though they picked third. Dave Chappelle slams San Francisco during surprise comedy show report. He says it's a mess.

Right? I mean, we don't have any stamp for this, so I'll fill in the gap that you're not. 49-year-old goes into San Francisco and says, what is going on with this city? Exactly. We're going to end the segment like we started.

What is going on in these major cities Democrat run? They're all a mess. New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco. I would tell you not long ago, San Francisco was my second favorite city in America. That's how much I love it there.

It's gorgeous. It's absolutely ruined. And now you love Jacksonville. I love it. I'm moving to Jacksonville.

W-O-K-V, Sid, get ready. I appreciate it. Sid, great job. Congratulations on everything. Thank you.
