LISTEN: Witness, now in hiding, claims proof of Hunter business dealings

From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. Hi, well, welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kilmy Show.

So glad you're here. Charlie Hurton Studio, if you're smart enough to get Fox Nation, you see him. David Nation from the Washington Post at the bottom of the hour. We're all going to make heads or tails of what's happening in Ukraine as well as what's happening in Israel as they go deep into the West Bank to find out what's happening there. I know it's kind of a blur.

Fascinating things happening in Russia, one of which is Pergozhin, famed, who founded Wagner Group and almost took the country, it seems. might be in St. Petersburg. Not dead with a Trotsky hatchet in his head, but back in St. Petersburg, really?

Why is this happening?

Well and what is happening in actually in the war.

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

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three: this kind of incident rattles old ghosts in the Arabian Gulf. 35 years ago, the U.S. Navy sunk a number of Iranian warships. First time we'd sunk warships since the Second World War, after Iran tried to close the Strait of Hormuz with mines.

This will not end well for Iran. Admiral Stabridis, smelling weakness. Iran harassing ships. We have to come to their rescue. Why are they suddenly so emboldened?

China bans coveted access to metals needed for just about everything. Russia buzzing our planes again and our drones as we send our Treasury Secretary to talk compromise with China. This is why Trump is stronger than ever. Number two. A lot of people go through there.

Staff goes through there. The press does not, so you can rule out the press at this point. Guests of staff go through there. But it is a heavily trafficked area. There are cubbies there.

I've got to believe this was discovered rather quickly because there's a Secret Service officer sitting right there.

So it couldn't have been there for days and days. It had to have been there for, I would say, minutes before someone took notice. Yeah, we're talking cocaine. Hunter is a suspect, maybe, when it comes to that mysterious bag of Coke in the White House. Why would he not be as evidence of the former Crackheads international business dealing become unearthed by a mysterious Israeli witness hiding for his safety as whistleblowers fight for theirs?

And lastly. Manipulating, no more. A judge rules Fauci, the FBI, and clueless Joe can threaten social media outlets to repress free speech, and the battle lines have been drawn. We will review the arguments. As the administration says, they will appeal.

Great to see you, Charlie Hurt. Great to see you.

So I love that this court ruling came out on July 4th. And the July 4th ruling that basically said, I saw what you did with the Twitter files. I've seen what's been going on here over the last few years. It's going to stop. How they enforce it, that's another story.

What's really scary about this is there was a time when the media would have been playing this role years ago. You know, the press would have said, wait a minute, wait a minute, this is our purview. We're the fourth estate here. You can't, the, the administration can't collude with social media outlets and force them to say things or ban them from saying things or get into cahoots with them to force other people to shut down free speech of other people. There was a time when the press would argue for this sort of stuff, but they completely checked out for an entire throughout the entire pandemic, and they never sort of stood up for any of it.

Two things I think about with Twitter, it was exposed. We didn't never get Facebook. We never got Instagram, obviously owned by Facebook. We'll never get TikTok. But just in Twitter, it was revealed that the FBI was working with former FBI agents who had higher positions within Twitter to suppress, not ban, suppress in many situations, things like what Charlie Kirk was putting out with the Young Americans Foundation, things that Donald Trump Jr.

started coming out and saying, why am I not getting traction like I used to?

So it was almost diabolical. They wouldn't silence you to create outrage. They would slowly squelch a lot of your bullhorn. Yeah.

So this is the sort of thing that we've seen out of Congress for decades, where you have people who work on bills, who write bills in Congress, who then go into the industries that are being regulated by those bills in order so that they can sort of the hand-in-glove situation where you have them getting favorable treatment. And we saw the exact same thing with the social media companies and the FBI, where you had them working together in a public-private partnership, and the only person, the only entity that wasn't represented was the constitutional rights of 350 million Americans. They don't care about that stuff. And it's really terrifying. To the pandemic was one where the hand was on the scale heavily, and they think it was absolutism.

This is the way it is, and people are saying it's wrong. No. A lot of what they were putting out there turned out to be wrong and to push forth. on their agenda and has created to this day more distrust Than any other single thing. Oh, they've done more to undermine the legitimacy of good vaccine shots, good vaccines that have saved millions of lives.

They themselves have done more to undermine that credibility. But that's exactly what they're saying. They took the YouTube channel. RFK put out something on vaccines with Joe Rogan. They shut everything.

Everything he does gets shut down, which is why I think he's such a potential huge force on the Democrat side. But also in a general election, he would be a really sort of complicated, you know, if you wound up with a Trump-JFK matchup, that would be really interesting. I know Trump actually praised him. Yeah.

So that'll show up. Or what if they got together? That would be. But no, but it really is. I think it's such an important point.

You know, I bet there's no doubt in my mind that at least some of the people working in the administration, working in the NIH, thought they were doing the right thing. And that's what's so scary about this. Many of them thought they were doing the right thing. But that's the whole point of free speech. That's the whole point of our government: it doesn't matter whether you think you're doing the right thing, you still get free speech.

If free speech isn't to protect only the stuff that's certified and guaranteed to be correct, it's because we believe that through free speech, all of the speech together, people are generally, it's like crowdsourcing. Generally speaking, people kind of figure out what the truth is and what the right thing is. And when you start squatching free speech, you destroy all that. Yeah, we'll see. And I'll go over this just for people that missed me yesterday.

Here's Jonathan Turley commented last night about what this 155-page judge ruling actually means. And it's going to be appealed by the administration. That's how this story is moved. They're going to appeal it to the fifth court, which is known as conservative court. Keep in mind, this judge approved.

Uh Eighty-eight to zero. Uh in the Senate. Number two, he was originally nominated by Barack Obama, and he never got a vote. Cut six. And six months ago I testified on that system before the House and all of us that testified for the further investigation of that system were attacked by the Democratic members.

And they insisted, well, that's just your opinion. There's no facts to support it. And even though we would point to the Twitter files, they'd say, well, those aren't facts either.

Well, here's a fact. You know, a judge just issued a 155-page opinion. And by the way, those 155 pages only deal with a fraction of the censorship system.

So that and go over in detail. It's outrageous what they chronicle and what they reveal. This is what bothers me: that no one's talking about it, I don't think. Jeff, Mark Zuckerberg is coming out with a thing called Threads today. It's got 10 million viewers already.

Now what is threads to compete with Twitter?

Now, do we ever find out what Facebook was doing behind the scenes? No. So if threads threatens Twitter or takes some of the part, what has Elon Musk done? He's not a conservative bulwark. What he's doing is just exposing.

So Mark Zuckerberg is going to try to go in there and suppress again. I'll grab the users and I'll keep it all a secret and hit you with Zuckerbox and all not going to even feel it.

So we don't know what Facebook was doing behind the scenes, but we do know what Zuckerberg was doing out in the open. He was running a half billion dollar get-out-the-vote operation for the Democrats. In crucial districts. Yeah, in crucial districts that ended up making the difference. And Yeah, so, and I think it's kind of interesting, the pylon of all these people who are so excited, all of these companies in particular, who are suddenly very excited about threads.

We haven't even seen threads. We don't even know how it works, we don't know anything about it, but they're so excited about it. I think going right to what you were just saying, they're so excited about it because they know that they can work with Zuckerberg. Musk is. Is not a conservative, but he's also sort of uncontrollable, and that freaks them out.

But they know they can work with. Zuckerberg and get what they want. No question. Charlie Hurd is here. Charlie.

The cocaine thing, I think, is a sideline story for a crack addict living in the White House with his dad, breaking all the rules, and then for cocaine to show up. That's one thing. But what just exposed by Miranda Devine in the New York Post today that she, and we're evidently going to expand on this story, but Dr. Gail Luft, now missing. As he was about to testify about the money the Bidens made in China, Had he recorded a fourteen minute video.

Israeli by birth, working with Jim Woolsey, former CIA director under Bill Clinton. He was a former Israeli officer, details family payments from Chinese officials with ties to the Chinese government to help the most evil program out there today, distortion, the Belt and Road program. That's what this energy company did. And that's what Jim and Hunter and maybe Joe Biden, certainly the granddaughter, were benefiting from. Joe, it looks like.

Hunter was making up to one hundred thousand dollars a month, Jim Biden sixty five thousand dollars a month, nowhere are their taxes being paid. Rob Walker, he said, is the bagman. They're trying to get a subpoena to him, and he has an FBI mole, and this sounds comical, but it's not, called One Eye.

So I was half joking on Guttfeld last night about how I think the cocaine in the it sounds like a game of clue in the library of the White House is an intentional distraction because they really do the media is in on this too. They want this whole thing to be about crack whores and Joe Biden speeding and being a wreck of a person. They want it but the reason everybody's trying to make it you know these people are trying to make it about just that is because they don't want to look at the real stuff that's going on here. And we're talking about profound, incredible, we're talking about the most corrupt administration, the most corrupt White House we have ever seen where you have members of the entire family for sale selling the White House, selling foreign policy selling out the country to foreign adversaries. And And they just want to boil it down to oh, it's just a crackhead thing.

And and there is so much at play here. And when you have situations where you have this much money involved, this much power involved, Really bad things happen to people. David Weiss was supposed to do the investigation on Hunter Biden and handed out that sweetheart deal when the whistleblower came forward, Shapley, Gary Shapley, and said he was told his hands were tied. And I was in the meeting, we got FBI agents there to memorialize it. And agree with it.

You'll see my email trafficking. They're going after the whistleblower. Yeah.

And they're trying to go after him. And he's fighting back aggressively, saying that Shapley was the one who leaked the story about David Weiss not having the power he had. He said, Really? I had nothing to do with that. And in fact, any reporter, I'm releasing you for the unnamed source.

I'm releasing you now from any responsibility. If I was your source, you can now come out.

Now, what I think is interesting is Weiss came out last Friday, six days ago, and said, I had freedom to charge in Delaware, but not in other districts. Contradicting what Merrick Garland said. He had total freedom, no reason to give him special counsel status. He's contradicting himself. He's not just contradicted by the whistleblowers.

He's contradicted by himself and what he said compared to what Merrick Garland said. There's no question that his hands were tied in this investigation and that Merrick Garland, I mean, it'll be really interesting to see when Merrick Garland finally gets pinned down on this. But it I don't see how he wasn't lying. about this. And what what will happen?

I don't know. But I think that the smoke screen that you know that the all of the the confusion here is designed to just Have everybody confused about all of it and not able to put a fine point on just how corrupt the state is. And I said to myself, I want to limit how many times I say this, but can you imagine if a Trump family member got a woman pregnant and then sued not to have the Trump last name and then said, here's some old Donald Trump memorabilia to resell to finance your kids' education and doesn't. And when Donald Trump was asked, he would never acknowledge even the number of grandchildren he had. If that ever happened.

Or a bag of cocaine had been found in the Trump White House. Or someone takes off their top of the White House lawn. It would be over with. We would have impeachment hearings. And most Americans, like, he would have lost that impeachment.

He would have been impeached and convicted. And most Americans have been like, yeah, you know, even people who like Trump would be like, yeah, we liked it, but he can't have cocaine in the White House, man. Charlie Hurt is going to stick around. And then we're going to have at the bottom of the hour David Nation from Washington Post. We'll talk about all that.

You listen to the Brian Kill Me Show. Don't move. Politics, current events, and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say. Stay with Brian Kilmead.

He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Killmead.

So Charlie Hurd is here, so Charlie, no doubt about it. As we get closer and closer to the debate, if Trump keeps his double-digit lead, he's not going to debate. I don't see any way he's going to debate. unless he somehow sinks. And then he got 35 million last quarter.

He looks strong. I really believe that the best thing to happen to Trump is Biden. Biden thinks the best thing to happen to him is Trump. Right. I think the performance of Joe Biden is is more keen than anything else.

But because if you look at the field, the field seems to be waiting to see what happens legally with Trump. What do you pick up from it? Yeah, so I and I also think that if you do wind up with a rematch between Biden and Trump, I think Trump wins that. How many people believe that? Nobody.

How many what do you mean? Voters? Yeah.

Oh, um, experts. I wouldn't say voters. Oh, experts? Oh, experts are wrong about everything.

So they're the ones that say Trump would never get together. They never get out to Arizona, Pennsylvania. Georgia, Michigan. Yeah, no, that's the great thing. Experts also are the ones who said when Kamala Harris got in the race in 2019 that, oh, she's the one to beat.

This is going to be it. And she not only did she fail to get one single delegate, she now stands as the most unpopular vice president to ever sit in the Naval Observatory. But so I know I know all the experts are. Think that Trump will lose. But I don't agree with that.

I think that just on a couple of points, I think that a big reason why a lot of people voted for Biden was because they had been lied to by the press about how corrupt the family was. That's a really big deal. The reason Trump won in 2016 is because he has an airplane with his name on it. And he could go around and say, Look, I'm already rich. I'm not doing this for the money.

And people really like that. And they said that they were sick of these corrupt politicians in both parties. And they sort of thought that was, you know.

So there's that. I think also the fact that a lot of the things that the media said about Donald Trump have turned out not to be true. And that's a big deal. And then the third thing is that the election is going to be run. Very differently this time than it was in the pandemic, the crazed pandemic, you know, never-ending full mail-ballot election.

You're still worried about Arizona.

Okay, yeah. I'm no, I mean, uh, you can worry about but if you're still worried about Arizona, uh, then it's probably not going to work out for Trump. But I think the whole thing shifts dramatically in his favor. And nobody can even doubt anymore that Joe Biden's failing. I don't even think it's debatable.

Right. I'm watching Charlemagne the God just say he's the problem, can't get a sentence out, people mocking him. And I think. You're stealing laundry detergent. Right.

And they don't look like big clothes washing people. Good point. Listen, Charlie Hurt, thanks so much. David Danx is next. Brian Kilmeat Show.

Don't move. Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Hey, welcome back, everyone. It's the Brian Kilmeat Show.

Dave Ignatius joins us now. The Washington Post columnist has written 11 spy novels, including a new one. The Paladin and the Quantum Spy. And of course, if you want to know anything going on in foreign relations, it is One-Stop Shopping. David, welcome back.

Thank you, Brian. Good to be with you. Same here. First off, on what's happening in Russia, we understand that. Put uh It looks like the founder of the Wagner Group is in St.

Petersburg, according to the Belarus president. What does that say to you?

So that was today's big surprise. You always have to be careful in accepting these things at face value. But the leader of Belarus, Lukashenko, said today that a Prigoshin who had been sent to Belarus in a kind of exile by Putin after his armed mutiny, using Putin's words, is back now in Russia, back in St. Petersburg. There's evidence that planes associated with Prigoshin flew into Russia.

today, what could this mean? Either he's been being brought back To be stand on trial, be arrested by Putin, or he's coming back to continue his rebellion. Either way, it's a fascinating development.

So do you believe that are you shocked that he isn't doesn't have a Trotsky axe in his head? That is somebody that is you know, he never called out Putin directly. It doesn't seem like Putin's called him out. They seem to have raided his offices. Uh we don't really know where the Wagner Group is, so there's a lot of questions.

So frankly, Brian, I would not have sold a life insurance policy for this man. He seemed to me to be a goner. He had directly challenged Putin. Putin in his speech on the day, that Saturday, two weeks ago, when the revolt came, called it an armed mutiny, said that Progozhin would be subject to legal charges, really seemed to lay down the law, and then backed off. By mid-afternoon, the compromise had been reached that was to send Progozhin into exile in Belarus.

But I've always thought that Progozhin would end up dead one way or the other. This latest wrinkle is hard to read. There's a lot of turmoil inside Russia. The people who are fought by Putin, who have been working with Progozhin, we believe, have been... Arrested, subject to interrogation themselves.

A prominent general in the Russian military, for example.

So it's a very unstable situation, and I think plays directly into Russia's ability to hold its lines in Ukraine. For us, watching here in the West, we can't affect the future of Russia much. But we do want to see I want to see Ukraine prevail in this conflict. And we'll have to see whether Russian disorientation, military confusion leads to some fallback in their lines.

So David, the one thing is pretty clear, the UK intelligence official came out, I think, a couple of days ago and said Russia's lost basically 50% of their army, I mean of their fighting force, whether they're 200,000 plus casualties and thousands of deaths.

So what does it tell you if they've already used 50% but they've lost 50% of their capacity?

So their their uh approach has has been primitive. We liken it to World War One, just Throw in troops, throw in human bodies. We say cannon fodder, we literally mean feed the cannons, it's a meat grinder. And it can't continue without eventually causing public protests. Russia.

Has as its great reserve its people. And in World War II, that was what led the Russians through to victory against the Nazis, their ability to keep on fighting. even one that they seem to be. surrounded and vanquished. I think this is becoming a political question.

The thing that Progozhin did, Brian, when he was in open revolt against the Russian military, was to tell the truth about this invasion. He said Russia has gotten nothing from this. We weren't threatened by Ukraine. Our national security wasn't at stake. And that's out there now, and every Russian knows it.

So, as more bodies come back, as this fight continues, the level of casualties continues at this enormous rate. I think Putin's got a problem. How does he explain that to the Russian people? What's this war for? What's it what's why are these people coming back in coffins?

So, David, why are we not just selling the F-15s? Why are we not getting the ATACMs? What could Russia do?

So there is a danger in a period, as you well know, Brian, when an adversary is backed into a corner, that is a period when you do have.

Some danger of just kind of crazy wild swings, and Russia is heading to that point. Estimate of most Analysts I talked to is is that if Russia felt its very existence as a country, its ability to hold its military bases in the Crimea were threatened, it might consider escalating to the use of nuclear weapons. Nobody wants that. I mean, that would really cross a red line. It would be terrible for the world.

So I think this issue of escalation is still one to take seriously. We are now beginning to train F 616 pilots. Thank goodness. I mean, those F 16s ought to be in the air next year. I don't think they can make a big difference in the fight this year, but I think they can make a huge difference.

This war is not going to stop from what I see.

So next year, Ukraine needs to have new capabilities. to push the Russians back, to deter them. It's not going to be a member of NATO. It's not going to happen.

So it has to have the military power, the the NATO weapons, even if it doesn't have the NATO membership, to be able to prevail. We understand that there our drones are being harassed by fi uh Russian fighter jets in Syria. How long do we tolerate that?

So we walk a narrow line in Syria. Syria has been a place where there'd been good deconfliction, as they say, between US and Russian generals. I've been uh on the sidelines of that in my the many trips I've made to Syria with our Special Forces. And they deconflict every day. Where are you?

Where are your planes? Where are your helicopters? That's broken down to some extent, but I'm told it continues. I'm sure people have been on those deconfliction lines with the shots at the drones. The larger question, I think, Brian, is we need to think about where our policy in Syria is going.

How do we help the people who've been so loyal to us there have a stake in a future Syrian state that's put back together? That's not just a piece of scattered remnants, but a whole country. That's what we need to begin thinking about. I just don't know how you do that with Assad in power backed by Russia. I mean, do you just section off a country and say this is where the Kurds belong, and this is where Syrian forces allied to us are?

I mean, that's a major step. You know, this is one of those questions where everybody knows that the eventual answer. The eventual answer for Syria, as for Iraq, a lot of these countries, is a kind of federal state, like our United States. We have different regions of our country. We have state governments that are well adapted to their local areas.

Syria is the same way. As you travel in Syria, you sometimes feel you're going from country to country.

So eventually, it will be a federal state. We need to do everything we can to help that process. It's not going to be easy. But I just hope our diplomats keep that in mind. We're sometimes worth those poor old Kurds are just sitting in the northeast corner of the country getting pounded, and we don't have a strategy for them to eventually become part of a full state.

All right. And just real quick, what do you expect to emerge from Secretary of Treasury Yellen's trip to China, knowing they've already banned certain metals from being exported, and we've banned the use of our cloud technology unless gotten permission by Microsoft and Amazon for them.

So what do you expect Secretary Yellen to accomplish?

So I'd be surprised if they're big deliverables, as the diplomats say, after this meeting. I think Yellen's trip symbolizes her belief and that of this administration that a full decoupling of the of the Chinese and US economies would be bad for both. We just do so much trade with each other. There's some trade that's strategic, some things that we produce that are absolutely vital for our national security. And we said China's not going to get those, and that's understood by the Chinese.

That's not going to be changed. My understanding is that the Chinese wanted Diella to come because they know she believes in continued U. S. China economic trade, and they see that as in their interest. China's don't forget, Brian, China's growth is slowing.

China is growing much slower now than India. That China dream, that they'll be that super, superpower, totally dominant. It's not happening.

So they need our markets as much as we need trade with them. And I think that's really fundamentally the reason they all are there.

So, Dave, your Washington Post is taking advantage of your novel and your writing. What kind of series are they putting together with you?

So we had a great experience last week, and I'd love it if your listeners checked it out. I published a short serialized I think it's a very good idea. Basic war between U.S. and Chinese intelligence that's been going on for 30 years. We had Our network of assets agents in China wiped out just over 10 years ago.

a terrible uh takedown of that network. And this short novel tells the story in fiction of how of how that happened. It's just a wonderful experiment. Once upon a time, a hundred years ago, Charles Dickens, lots of writers that are well known to us, uh serialize their their books. in magazines, sometimes in newspapers.

And we decided let's experiment with that and see if we can, in the middle of summer, when people want something different to read, offer them. And so it's called The Tau of Deception. And I hope your Fox listeners will have fun with it. How do we get it? You just go to WashingtonPost.

com, and it's there. I believe it's all available. We'd like you to cross our paywall, but I think you probably you can get it, I believe at least the initial installments for free. Understood. Dave Ignatius, host, great to have you on.

Washington Post Columnist, extremely successful best-selling author. Dave, thank you. Stay well. Thank you, Brian. Great to talk to you.

You got it. 1-866-408-7669. I'll take you calls when we get back. But before we do, there's also something else that happened in the. Humuz straight yesterday.

And that is, the Iranians thought it would be a great idea to try to take a few tankers. And good news that we had ships there to stop them. But where did this boldness come from? What are they actually up to? Besides raising the price of oil because of the insecurity.

Here's Jennifer Griffin, Cut 35. The quick reaction of the USS McFall, a guided missile destroyer, prevented the Iranian Navy from seizing not one but two commercial oil tankers. Iranian personnel on board the Iranian vessel fired multiple shots at the Richard Voyager, trying to get it to halt, leaving these bullet holes in the hull not far from where the crew slept. Earlier, the USS McFall intervened when a second Iranian naval vessel tried to overtake and seize a Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker, TRF Moss, off the coast of Oman. The first incident occurred at 1 a.m.

local time. Three hours later, the USS McFall responded to the second call for help, steaming at maximum speed to the Bahamian oil tanker 20 miles off the coast of Muscat.

So, where's this boldness come from? Remember the fast boats that were going up to our big ships and harassing them, shooting at them. They took our guys hostage one time because they thought they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Perhaps they were, but they were not a threat, but they did it anyway with the Secretary Kerry. That just stopped under Trump.

And overall, when I really think about it, why is Trump surging and so strong? Why head to head is he dead, even or slightly ahead of Joe Biden? It's Joe Biden. and the weakness he's showing everywhere. He's claiming the economy is strong, but people don't believe it, thirty three percent approval rating.

And then on foreign policy, please tell me where the strength is. Please tell me how things got better and the world became less dangerous. I can't find any place. And neither can most Americans, and I think even some undecided and independent.

So, when we come back, I'll take your calls. What do you think about that? Brian Kilmicho. I mean Expanding your knowledge base. It's the Brian Kill Meat Show.

From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Gilmead.

Well, I've long believed, I think a lot of us have believed, that the Biden administration's been blowing it on a lot of fronts, but I guess it's a little bit more literal than even I had thought. I can tell you, in Florida, my wife and I, we have a 6'5 and a 3-year-old running around the governor's mansion.

So that's not something that we see. We do have to occasionally get slime out of the carpet and get marker off the wallpaper, but that's the extent of our adventures at the governor's mansion. And then you find out, too, this cocaine that was found at the White House. I don't know where it is, and some people say it's impossible to be hunters, but there's only one crackhead living there, former, and it would lead you to think it was him. I don't know who left it there, but hard to believe they don't have cameras.

But the other thing you see is Robert De Niro's grandson. And he died of fentanyl poisoning. The person that sold it to him, according to his mom, and I guess her daughter, was that the person who sold it to him knew there was fentanyl in it one time and done.

Now, can you imagine if that was around with a little kid around? Can you imagine if that was done and there was fentanyl in it instead of getting high, you get dead real quick? Kind of important. It just outlines the fact that you have somebody who is now attached to the president's side. On a daily basis, And they the Revelations about what he was up to and what he is up to, perhaps.

Are getting stronger by the day, and yet the president keeps him closer to him than ever before. And then there's this revelation from a guy that his name is Dr. Gal Luft. He put together a 14-minute tape to talk about how he came in touch with the Bidens, saw what they were up to, contacted law enforcement, and ends up they basically threatened him, don't ever bring up the Biden name again. And now he feels they're threat they there's a threat on his life.

And he has disappeared from being on the witness list for Republicans in the House to disappeared.

Well, he did this tape. Let's listen to what he said about the Chinese business deals with the Biden's Cut nineteen. My ordeal goes back to uh a fatal decision. I made in March of 2019 to share with the US government my knowledge. about the Biden family's relations with CFC.

I insisted that the meeting take place in March because at the time there were rumors that Joe Biden was planning to run for President. I saw it as my civic duty to alert the government beforehand and give it enough time to probe the issue.

So he went on. By the way, he's for Israeli, works with James Woolsey, one of his partners in Washington D C, and well known in intelligent circles.

So he thought he'd pick up the phone and call law enforcement, Cut twenty. I want to be clear. I'm not a Republican, I'm not a Democrat, I have no political motive or agenda. I did it out of deep concern. That if the Bidens were to come to power, the country would be facing the same traumatic Russia collusion scandal.

Only this time it was China. Sadly. Because of the DOJ's uh cover-up. This is exactly what happened. Right.

More. Cut 21. The DOJ sent to Brussels. A delegation of Six um people. Two prosecutors from the Southern District of New York.

by the names of Daniel Reichental and Catherine Gauche. And four FBI agents. One of them was Special Agent Joshua Wilson from the Baltimore Field Office, which also happens to cover the state of Delaware.

Now you want to ask yourself, why did the government dispatch to Europe so many people. The answer is that they knew very well that I'm a credible Uh witness. And that I have insider knowledge about the group and the individuals that enriched the Biden family. And he he had revelations about a deal that would get Hunter $100,000 a month, Jim Biden $65,000 a month, and CEFC and in with the vice president And with the FBI. And he had a mole in the FBI to tip off because CEFC was doing some illegal foreign relations dealing in order to get some access.

to US markets and money, to finance the Belt and Road program that was constructed specifically to undermine US influence around the world from Pakistan to Ghana. To Congo. to Central and South America. How could a vice president, now president, allow his family to do things like that? Usually when you have somebody in your family, they're doing deals with drug dealers, not with other countries and their energy sector.

How does that Gel. It doesn't. But it's real. And when you come out and have credibility, they come after you. But not this guy, he's speaking.

From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Killmead.

Hi, everyone. Welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kilmy Show.

So glad you're here. 1866-408-7669. Busy hour coming your way. Liz Peak's going to be here. Give us some insight on what's going on in the economy.

And we're also going to be joined and do a simulcast with Stuart Varney.

So you'll get to see what I look like on FBN. It'll be very exciting for sure. And don't forget, One Nation coming up in just two days, 8 o'clock on Saturdays on Fox News.

So let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. This kind of incident rattles old ghosts in the Arabian Gulf. 35 years ago, the U.S. Navy sunk a number of Iranian warships.

First time we'd sunk warships since the Second World War, after Iran tried to close the Strait of Hormuz with mines. This will not end well for Iran. I hope not. I never want it to end well for Iran, but somehow they seem to always keep coming back, smelling weakness. Iran harasses our ships.

China bans coveted access to our metals. Russia is buzzing our planes. And we send our Treasury Secretary to talk compromise with China. This is why Trump looks stronger than ever. Number two.

A lot of people go through there. Staff goes through there. The press does not, so you can rule out the press at this point. Guests of staff go through there. But it is a heavily trafficked area.

There are cubbies there. I've got to believe this was discovered rather quickly because there's a Secret Service officer sitting right there.

So it couldn't have been there for days and days. It had to have been there for, I would say, minutes before someone took notice. And we're talking cocaine. Hunter a suspect when it comes to the mysterious bag of Coke in the White House. Why would he not be a suspect?

More evidence of the former Crackheads' international business dealings becoming unearthed by a mysterious Israeli witness with a lot of credibility, but who's really hiding out for his own safety and whistleblowers fighting back against the pushback. We'll talk about it. Number one. What the ruling by the judge does, he explains very clearly that the White House was directly threatening the existence of social media companies if the social media companies didn't censor true information. Yeah, that's true.

Michael Schellenberger exposed it over the Twitter files. Manipulating no more. A judge rules that voucher. The FBI, clueless Joe, can't be threatened.

Social media outlets to repress their free speech. And the battle lines have been drawn. We'll review the arguments as the administration says it's official. They'll appeal the ruling to the fifth district.

Now, think about it. Why would they even want to appeal the ruling? It's just to keep government, in this case, them, and maybe in the future, somebody else, from manipulating social media for their own gains. Why would that be not their best interest? Because you're used to having your finger on the scale.

Liz Peake joins us now, Fox's Contributor Commerce for FoxNews.com and joins us. Liz, were you surprised by this ruling on July 4th?

Well, I'm always surprised when someone does the right thing, I guess, Brian. But no, I mean, I think a lot of us have looked at the information and the evidence coming out of the White House putting their thumb on the scale of what information is available to Americans. And I have to say, I've written about this in the past. I think this censorship during COVID cost people's lives. I mean, among other things, they shut down was any conversation about therapies, remedies that might have actually worked because they weren't in line with official doctrine.

That to me is probably the most heinous thing that's happened in our country ever. I mean, here we have a brand new pandemic. People admittedly and admitted that they didn't know much about it. They didn't know how to cure it. We had tens of thousands of people dying.

And yet, as somebody talked about ivermectin or other possible therapies that were not. Subscribed to by Anthony Fauci, they were deemed misinformation and not allowed. How in the world can a scientific community possibly agree to that? How can we agree to that?

So, look, there are a lot of things that the government has lied about, continues to lie about. Obviously, the Hunter Biden laptop story is probably the most egregious political lie of the century. But I think when you're talking about the health of our country in the midst of COVID, holy crow, I am so happy that this judge. And by the way, yeah, as you say, it's going to be appealed, it's going to be tied up in the courts, and sadly now. A lot of the description of the legal battle will be: this is a Trump-appointed judge, this is a Obama-appointed judge, whatever.

It shouldn't be that way, of course. There's right and wrong, and this guy basically stood up for what was right. Yeah, but this judge was originally appointed by Obama, didn't get a vote. Trump puts him up, and he gets all but two votes in two no-shows.

So he got 88 or 98 votes, 98 to zero.

So, and then he comes out and says, listen, I'll give you 155 reasons, pages of reasons, why this needs to be done. And I just go back to when Mike Schellen, Michael Schellenberger, who is out on the left coast with Matt Taibbi, came out and told us what was in the Twitter files, and they were told called so-called journalists and ripped. Here's what he said yesterday, though: cut three. It's an amazing ruling. I think the key thing to understand about it is that there is a long way to go.

I think it's inevitable the Supreme Court will hear, will take a hearing on this and may end up making a ruling about it. But what the document does, what the ruling by the judge does, he explains very clearly that the White House was directly threatening the existence of social media companies, particularly this thing known as Section 230, which is their license to exist. They were threatening that and threatening to take it away if the social media companies didn't censor true information, including about vaccine side effects.

So it was true and accurate information that's in the public interest.

So that's pretty amazing. I think everyone should have a breath of fresh air. But I go back to this. Today, Mark Zuckerberg released Threads, a direct competitor to Twitter. We lose if thread gets bigger than Twitter because we don't know anything about what Facebook was up to.

Because Zuckerberger just took his Zuckerbucks and put them into key Democratic districts to get Trump out.

Now, what do you actually think was going on behind the scenes with the FBI and others to squelch or shadow ban certain voices of the last election and certain voices that might have had a counter-narrative on the vaccine or a counter-narrative on how to treat and stop this pandemic or the origins of the virus?

Now he's going to go get a competitor for Trump. Twitter that America loses when Zuckerberg gets involved. Yeah, but again, I'm not surprised by this. After all, Elon Musk has provided our country with the first. Clear channel for conservative voices not being suppressed.

And that is a gift which is going to keep on giving whether or not Meta launches this new platform. Unfortunately, what we might see is a real kind of herding of political thought to the right on Twitter and to the left on thread. Although, look, Meta hasn't really launched something internally organized in quite a long time.

So we don't know if this will be successful. But, you know, think about, I was thinking about this today, reading the reviews of this Meta launch. Think how much people hate Elon Musk now. They hate him because he has. kind of broken through this stone wall of censorship.

And one thing, the group think, that has dominated America for a long time.

So, good for Elon Musk. If Zuckerberg wants to compete with that, fine. Unfortunately, it means probably less actual debate, which is, by the way, what we lack sorely in this country is the kind of debate that would put RFK Jr. talking about vaccines with someone from the administration who's pro-vaccine. Let's have it talked out.

People are afraid to do it because they don't always have the right answers. You know, the American public is the loser in this for sure. And I think if these two platforms just sort of become political holding cells, that's a loss for the American people as well.

So you write about bidenomics, and I don't get it because the president might think that his economy is going well, and it's true we're not in a recession, and it's true inflation is going down, and it's true the jobless numbers, the unemployment numbers are really strong. But when asked on almost every poll, including the latest one, how is President Biden doing on the economy? He's had 38% approval rating, 32% last week. Why is he running on something like this? Just beca out of spite?

I really think it's because he has nothing else. And he has enough data points. I mean, he can go out and talk about job additions and pretend that he's created quote unquote Tens of millions of jobs. Most of us know that's just not true. But for the average person, they're looking at the unemployment rate, and that's traditionally been a pretty big thing for presidents to crow about.

So he can crow about that. But then he makes up all this stuff, Brian. He talks about how he's cut the deficit in half. The deficit is right now, literally right now, it is twice what it was a year ago. The deficit is in terrible shape.

He has absolutely no impulse to cut spending. And Americans, you know, at the end of the day, I go back to when Obama was president and we had the rise of the Tea Party. Americans are worried about spending too much money. We don't like the fact that our country owes $31 trillion, and particularly when we owe so much of it to foreign adversaries, including China. We don't like the fact that our purse is not being protected by Congress.

And we really don't like it when a president just starts spewing hundreds of billions of dollars, which he has done for missions. And ambitions that a lot of the country is not enthusiastic about.

So, when people talk about, when they say, I'm not happy with the economy, by the way, I think one thing that influences those readings is the stock market.

Well, the stock market's rebounded a little bit now, and Biden's. Approval ratings on the economy have similarly moved a little bit higher. But for most of his time in the Oval Office, it has not been a good time to own stocks or bonds. Our national Uh, wealth has gone down, so guess what? People don't feel good about that, and Liz, finally.

When you look at what we're seeing now economically, the president wants to run on it, but Bolsa, most of all, he wants to raise money and get people excited. He's not a great campaigner, but this is the moment where even Barack Obama was behind the scenes going to private fundraisers. What is your take on Trump's numbers? He pulled in $35 million in the second quarter. That's going to blow away the field, although DeSantis has got a big release coming shortly.

What is your take on a guy that we know so well who has so much money that's still getting that much money?

Well, I think people are across the nation Outraged by the harassment of Donald Trump. You don't have to like Donald Trump to think that the miscarriage of justice, the tilting of the justice scales, has been so absurdly political in the last couple of years, not just anti-Trump, but pro-Biden. I think a lot of people are angry about that. And the size of these dollars suggests that it's a lot of average people chipping in something just to say, hey, I disagree with what this government is doing, and I support the way our government was functioning under Donald Trump. Look, I think with every month that passes, people look back and say, wow, things were pretty good under Donald Trump.

Yes, we had COVID, and Biden lies about the impact. It acts like that's Donald Trump's fault that we lost jobs under COVID. The truth is, we were coming back strong. It was the sharpest, shortest downturn in our country's history. Donald Trump did a good job, and that's what people remember.

Right. We know this: the regulations underappreciated. And I know that they just did a study, and they said, how much has the increase in regulations cost the average American family? And it's $10,000. $10,000 since President Biden took over, and that's when people look at that and say, I want that in my pocket.

Liz, thanks so much. Liz Peak, Fox News contributor, columnist with FoxNews.com. Appreciate it, Liz. Oh, thanks for having me. Take care.

She has a b uh column out on the Supreme Court, affirmative action, and as we just discussed, the Bidenomics. You listen to the Brian Kilmeat Show. I see your calls up there. I'll take them next. Actually, I'll have a call I'll have a segment and a half to do it, but I'm going to play some.

Of this revelation of this Israeli who was up close and personal, a witness. Hunter Biden, Jim Biden in action, along with Uh Silver Rob uh Rob Walker maybe Tony Pobolinski, and talked about exactly what Bide was up to. And he said in 2019. And then he quickly had to run for his welfare and disappear.

Well, he is speaking out now. You're going to hear from Dr. Luft next and your calls. You'll listen to the Brian Killmeat Show. Newsmakers and newsbreakers, hear it first on the Brian Killmeat Show.

A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Perhaps the most alarming information I revealed was of a mall within the DOJ who shared classified information with Hunter Biden and his Chinese partners. I told the DOJ that Hunter was closely associated with a very senior retired FBI official. who had distinct physical characteristic.

He had one eye. One of the FBI agents at the time. even told me You know, that would be very easy for us to find. There aren't that many one-eyed people in the Bureau.

Now think about this. The mole helping Hunter Biden, who helped his international business clients. We imagine the Ro the Romanian billionaire Uh the Ukrainian official and most of all the CEE CEFC Chinese executives. He said he could help with the FBI. And this guy, his name is Doctor Gal Loft.

Thought Naively in retrospect, that I'm just going to call up the national security officials and tell them about these deals that Hunter Biden was doing. After all, I care about the country. I'm not a Democrat. I'm not a Republican. And I think this former vice president is going to run for president.

They should know the deals he's doing and his family's doing. And when they do that, they come in and they basically say, You better not bring up the Biden family name, and this stops here.

So instead of coming in to testify about this, he disappears, but he caught a 14-minute video, and that's we're showing you clips of. He's an Israeli uh officer. uh who has a big uh contacts in Washington DC has done It's part of a nonprofit. Intelligence business, we believe, with James Woolsey, who's been a guest on our show. And he talked about Chairman Yee and Dr.

Patrick Ho, two people all over the laptop. Who Hunter Biden did business with. How could this not be relevant? How could this ask to be the biggest story that you've heard? It started the business dealing started in twenty seventeen.

And he came out in 2019. And he felt the wrath and the pressure the minute he spoke out. doing the right thing. Here's more, cut twenty-four. The information I provided the FBI in March of twenty nineteen was fully corroborated nine months later.

When the famous laptop belonging to Hunter Biden, which contained all the emails and receipts, was handed to the FBI. And guess who seized the laptop from the computer repair shop? It was Special Agent Joshua Wilson. who was with me In Brussels earlier. How unbelievable is that?

Gives the name out. And we also know the names of the people that Johnny Mac Isaac, who had the repair shop, brought it in. He said, Hey, by the way, my dad's a big-time better, and my whole family's very patriotic. I got this laptop, and you want to take a look at it. And he was treated like a criminal, and no one heard anything of it.

And we knew through the reports and the verification that the last two weeks ago, that the laptop was known to be authentic back in the fall of 2019. Think about how we've been lied to along the way. Why was it necessary to not tell the truth about any of this at any time? And why should we even believe anything except for the facts as we unearth them, not as it's told to us, to get to the bottom of this?

So I want to see doctor Galuft, if possible, I want to see David Weiss, the prosecutor, if possible. I want to hear Christopher Wray answer this story about his FBI agent.

Now we know his exact name. Joshua Wilson. And guess what? Christopher A is coming July 15th. Coming to, excuse me, July 12th at 10 o'clock, Christopher Ray.

Was that relayed to you, Mr. Wright? After you had these very extensive, impactful meetings over in Brussels with this Israeli agent who checks out pretty strongly. Who is good enough to work with the former director of the CIA? A lot of calls next.

We'll get to them. A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmead.

If it wasn't for your vote We would not have Joe Biden in the White House. That was a constitutional right that you had to send those votes back to the states. States conduct our elections. You never want to let Washington, D.C. run elections.

The Constitution affords no authority. For the Vice President or anyone else to reject votes or return votes to the state. Never been done before, should never be done in the future. I'm sorry, ma'am, but that's actually what the Constitution says. President Trump was wrong about my authority that day, and he's still wrong.

So that's Mike Pence's fight he's going to have with voters as well as with Trump officials and obviously with Trump supporters. He had one there, and I think he handled it fine. And I think it's 100% true. You just can't overturn an election because you don't like the result. And every one of Trump's attorneys was able to prove anything substantial.

And believe me, Mike Pence is as loyal as a day is long. You'll never get somebody more loyal. And I think he did a great job. He was a perfect match as vice president. But it is amazing how many vice presidents don't get along with presidents.

I mean, for the most part, Dick Cheney and George W. Bush did not end strong. Al Gore. And I don't even think Gal Gore and Bill Clinton talk at all. And let's think, Barack Obama.

I do think he's tight with Joe Biden. I know he visited the other day. I think it's just because Barack Obama's in his political prime and Joe Biden shot and he knows it. I don't think they necessarily respect each other. I think maybe Obama, I don't think he has any respect for Joe.

You just could tell. Not many people push back and say what great friends they are. Think about it. I don't think Reagan's and Bush's were that close. I think they were respectful of each other.

So it's very hard to, I guess, be tight with your Vice President. And you're going to tell me that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are tight? Don listing on WHLO in Ohio. Hey, Don. Yes, I have a question on Social Security and the college loans.

I want you to be the President of the United States. Mr. President, The college loans that you tell the people that we're going to pay them off You're not paying them off. You are transferring the debt to the American people. And you're not telling us the interest, and it's going to cost us how much to do this, even if it takes five years to pay it off.

Don, it's a great point. You listen to WHIO. Couple of things. Why not pay off car loans? Why are you paying off student loans?

Because you want the young vote. That's the only reason. And you took you took a responsibility and two years you haven't had to make one payment. Two years, no payments. That is helping people out.

And number two, number three, if you do want to help those loans, the parental loans and college loans, the interest rates are way too high. If you are giving those loans out, then go in there and cut the interest rate. People would understand that more than they can just going ahead and d evaporating debt. The thirty seven-year-old that paid theirs, the the trade school graduate that had no problem paying his uh his trade school off, now they gotta go pay it for everybody else. It's just to me, it's just really idiotic thinking.

Eric, Lucy NW, DBO in Orlando. Hey, Eric. Fine. Great show today. I'm the same age as you, and I've never seen America like this.

That caller you just had talking about the economy and Biden's claims. He says that inflation is stopping. After it went up, how much? It should be going. I would like it to go backwards.

I just bought a box of Cheerios for my granddaughter. It used to be $350, now it's $7. And that's here in Florida. I can't imagine what Cheerios cost up by you in New York. And unemployment is up after almost half this country lost its job due to a pandemic.

The numbers are just staggering, and uh, you brought up Barack Obama. I bet he's pooping himself what he's going to get tied to with Joe Biden's actions while. Did Barack Obama not know what was going on? Your thoughts on all that?

Well, he was briefed, but he's not in the middle. And remember, I I'm going to just go go out on a limb here. I can imagine Obama was not telling John Brennan to go out here and create a distraction by going to finance a dossier of false information in Russia and go out and talk about business ties that Donald Trump doesn't have with Russia. He got briefed on it. And if he was a man of extreme integrity, he would have said.

Hillary, call this back. I can't I can't do it. But what is the CIA director doing except fomenting it and briefing everybody on it? Why is he not stopping it?

So it's been nonpartisan. He was chief of staff. That goes to show you. How did James Comey not know? Number two.

And then And when you think about Barack Obama, he was the one who called Hillary Clinton and says, you got to concede, you lost the election. And then she proceeded over the next five years to say he was illegitimate president. I really won the presidency.

So I fault him for not stopping it, but I have not seen anybody that said he was plotting it. And I just think on some level, you're right. I think that it makes them look bad to know it, but you know how long it's been out there that he got briefed on this? It's in the Durham Report. It's in the David Horowitz Inspector General report.

I'm not sure it's in the Mueller report. I read the whole thing, but it is about three and a half years ago now, two years ago.

So I don't really remember exactly. But it's it's really hard to Uh it's really r h hard to not understand Why Donald Trump was beside himself. And you know the way he profiles, like nobody you've ever met in your life. When he feels his credibility is being threatened, he comes out like a caged lion every single day. But so far it's working.

He's up about 20 plus points. He's got his hands full of these investigations. And I'm sure the other indictments are going to come soon. And that'll be the election cycle again. And then 11 people in the field will just stand in place and watch.

The news cycle being dominated by Donald Trump.

So here's what Britt Hume said last night about the state of the race. And about how to maybe go after Trump, cut 44. Those losses in the midterms and eventually the presidency are not disappointing performances and losses. They're real. They happened.

There's no doubt about it. There's no way around it. And the case can be made that he's a loser because since he got elected in 2016, he's compiled a string of them. Either he or his supported candidates have lost too many races. But the history of primaries suggests.

That people don't cast strategic votes in favor of the candidate they think most likely will win. By and large, they don't. And right right now, people are voting their hearts and they're voting for they tend to vote in primaries for the candidates that they feel closest to or that they you know they they they'd like to see president. They're not voting about who's they think could get elected. Yeah, I haven't seen that s that micro study.

But so far, they just said he's the most electable. What I would like to see is focusing on areas and people that he hasn't gotten before, going into Pennsylvania, not to big Trump areas, but maybe even Philadelphia. Remember, he contended the election results in Philadelphia, but how often was he there? Not often. Is there a place in Philadelphia you can go?

And maybe go into some John McCain-like town halls. Remember when John McCain used to go into these town halls, and half the people would be critical of him? And half wouldn't. I I would love to see Trump do that. I mean, that would be something brand new.

And I'm not saying he's great at it. I don't think anybody was better than McCain at that. I think Bill Clinton was great at that, too. But overall, at the race, I think more pressure right now, more attention is actually on Joe Biden and whether he's going to continue to race and raise money and how long you can keep Gavin Newsom and And all these others on the sideline. Here's Harold Ford last night on special report and about.

What's going on in these wars and some of the economy and what this administration is running on? Cut 45. You know, unemployment is down. The economy has proven more resilient. He's invested in infrastructure and chips.

And I think he's been right on Ukraine and lower prescription drugs. But we can't ignore the fact that we have a big national debt. When I was in Congress, both parties began to talk a lot about it. I hope both parties come back to it because if we don't prioritize, we're going to find ourselves in a much, much worse position for our kids and grandkids going forward. It'll be good, but no one's touching it during this election cycle because nobody wants to touch entitlements, including President Trump, who said flat out.

I'm not touching these.

So don't say I'm going to touch Medicaid. Don't say I'm going to touch Social Security. But any responsible president, next president, would do exactly that. Because our automatic withdrawals are too much from our deposits. And that's just the way it is.

And there's no doubt about it. I think the President will At one point, we'll get back on Facebook. At one point, we'll get back on Twitter. I think Truth Social, I think, is contractually obligated to. to to he has to I think he can go on one and not the other.

But I wouldn't doubt that he's going to go on there and reclaim some of that momentum. And now that you can go on Twitter and you can honestly say that it's a new playing field, That might be interesting. And also, if he sees that Zuckerberg is starting to lose to Elon Musk and Musk doesn't go out of his way to alienate Trump, even though I think he made it clear he wants to go with DeSantis. That would really help that business model that he has.

So I think that's important too.

So when we come back, I'm going to be joined to Stuart Varney. And I'm going to go on talking about what's happening in twenty twenty four race and everything like that. Also, talk about another major issue, and that is the freedom on these social media platforms. It could be coming down the pike. Right now, there's an immediate injunction, which means if the FBI today didn't like what was posted on Twitter, They are good.

Not allowed. to call up and say, take this down. Could be dangerous if bin Laden decides to get a Twitter handle, he's one of his million kids, and says, I want everybody to kill an American today. Can you take that down?

Well, I I think it'd be an argument there. To take it down, but when it comes to political speech and things about the pandemic, I think you got yourself in legal jeopardy if you try to do it. All right, when we come back, we do a simulcast, and then I close the arrow with your calls. Brian, kill me, too.

Now, the Brian Kilmead Show joins Fox Business's Varney and Company with Stuart Varney live on your radio and on Fox Business. Here's Brian Kilmead. Yeah, in just a little while, we're going to talk to Ashley Webster filling in for Stuart Varney. Gonna talk a little bit about what's happening in 2024. And also, Joe Biden's got seven grandkids.

He only admits to six. Can you imagine briefing your staff? On two things. Stop telling me not to hang out with Hunter Biden. My.

Uh crackhead horror-loving son. Also, they got my family knee deep in trouble by exposing his laptop and leading business deals he had no business in. And number two is I have six grandkids, not seven. The other one's out of wedlock. And I paid for her not to have my name.

That means it's time for you. Great to see you, Brian. I want to get into this story if we can. The New York Times reports that New Hampshire could, quote, publicly embarrass President Biden by holding the first primary election without Biden's name on the ballot.

Sounds ridiculous, but it's true. I think Biden wants to go first in South Carolina, but how bad does this look for a sitting president, Brian, not to appear on a primary ballot? It's weird. It's bizarre. Because he wants the, he wanted, I guess, in the perfect world, he wanted to open up in South Carolina where he turned his 2020 campaign around.

Fine. In New Hampshire, Ashley, he did so poorly. I don't know if you remember because the pandemic hit right after. He pulled out before the votes were tallied. He was horrible in New Hampshire.

He was invisible in Iowa.

So when you have trouble, instead of going back there and trying to win those people over, he tries to give them the Heisman.

Now, a lot of people look at New Hampshire and say that's winnable for a good Democratic candidate. Why would you do anything to make them dig in against you? Do you really have that many electoral votes to give?

So if he does not show up, New Hampshire still runs their primary. And right now, if it was today, RFK would come in first, Williamson would come in second and grab all those electoral votes.

So he'd be trailing as a sitting president and not competing, which is a bad message. I think that he's shooting himself in the foot, but I want to get on to this issue, Brian. White House Press Secretary Corrine Jean-Pierre refusing to answer a reporter question on Biden's estranged grandchild. Listen to this. There's a story in the New York Times over the weekend about Hunter Biden's daughter in Arkansas.

Does the President acknowledge this little girl as his granddaughter? I don't have anything to share from here. Yep, nothing to see here. Move along. I think it's despicable that the administration is pretending that this little girl does not exist.

What say you? What about a bad example? What about fathers out there who are in a dicey situation with women? And find themselves in court and say, listen, if it's good enough for the president, I'll make my payment. I'll walk away.

We just got to cut off total relations with them. Why should I feel bad? President of the United States just did it. Same thing when Bill Clinton was doing all those kinds of antics in the White House. People said, Well, what are you getting mad at me for?

Look at what the President of the United States was doing, for better or for worse. And whatever you want to say about Donald Trump, they always want to compare it to his family. If they had anything close to this, cocaine in the White House, really, with this family around, and now you have kids out of wedlock, paid not to have the family last name. On top of that, you also make sure that you tell everybody in your staff I have six grandchildren, not seven, when you know he's. Guy's 80 years old.

How much longer is he waiting to do the right thing? This would this girl has nothing to do with any problems he has his son's had. Seems like an ideal girl. Evidently, the good news is she's from a family of wealth. She says this girl will get everything that she wants.

And evidently, she is aware who her father is and what the family does. Yeah, I find the whole thing very sad. But last one, Brian. A new IG report says that the Border Patrol's vetting process is ineffective because so many migrants with ties to terrorism, can you believe, keep getting let into our country. It is a huge national security problem.

What do you make of it?

Well, I mean, if you look at what's happening in France right now, where are these people coming from that are not only upset, they seem to be systematically burning down buildings. They almost seem like operators. And I'm just wondering, what are these other people coming through for? At the very least, when you're President of the United States, isn't our national security your primary interest? How dare you drop the wall and drop the door on the southern border?

Tally up the number of people on the most wanted list and on the terror watch list and then let them in. is that we've never seen anything like this. The numbers are stunning, and that's on Joe Biden's baseball card. But he thinks he's going to get away with it because actually in the midterms, he didn't pay the political price. I hope the American people have higher standards than that in twenty twenty four.

We'll have to leave it there, Brian. Great stuff as always. Thanks so much for joining us. Thank you, sir. Let's move on.

All right. So we'll talk about that. It's always interesting that we're not talking much about what's happening at the border, but the border numbers are going up again, even this in extreme heat. But lastly, when I was talking about Uh the present son Hunter. and the business deals that were done.

I want to go back to where we started, and this, doctor Gal Luft. You wanted people that directly were involved with business dealings that are not on board with With Hunter Biden, it's this guy, Dr. Gail Luft, who's in Brussels and now went down under to keep his profile low, but cut this tape about what he knows about CEFC, the Chinese company and the Biden family. Cut nineteen. My ordeal was goes back to uh a fatal decision.

I made in March of 2019 to share with the US government my knowledge. about the Biden family's relations with CFC. I insisted that the meeting take place in March because at the time there were rumors that Joe Biden was planning to run for President. I saw it as my civic duty to alert the government beforehand and give it enough time to probe the issue.

Yeah.

And he did. And they sent in all their agents because they knew he was credible. And he's Israeli. And he's got great DC connections. And then he told his story.

And they didn't want to hear it. Cut twenty. I want to be clear, I'm not a Republican, I'm not a Democrat, I have no political motive or agenda. I did it out of deep concern. That if the Bidens were to come to power, the country would be facing the same traumatic Russia collusion scandal.

Only this time was China. Sadly. Because of the DOJ's uh cover-up. This is exactly what happened. Wow, think about this.

He has this information. He has to show up in court. I can't believe that Republicans wouldn't be able to provide him the Secret Service or the security necessary to get him in there to testify, especially when he's doing the right thing and he checks out. I should get James Woolsey on, too. If he's that credible and he's a partner, James Woolsey is a friend of the show.

We should get him back on. Remember, One Nation, Saturday 8. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show. Brian Gilmead. Hi everyone, welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kilming Show.

So glad you're here. Bottom of the aisle, Bill Courtney will be with us. His story is one you're going to love. A football coach in the inner city, a bunch of kids who definitely needed some leadership. He is the subject of an undefeated.

It's called Undefeated, the football documentary, one of the best ever. It's on Netflix and Prime. Esquire Neighbor, one of the top 20 sports films of all time. And he's the coach that's based around in Memphis, in the neighborhood of Memphis, where young men are three times more likely to be dead in jail or have a job or be in college than to have a job or be in college. He decided to pick up the football team in high school and they won and thirty one of the thirty two seniors went on to college in their final two seasons.

So I think that you're going to love that message a little different than pure politics. Ben Dominich, Has not led a high school football team under impossible circumstances to a championship, but is important anyway. That sounds like a much more interesting guest than I am, bro. Yeah, you don't mind if I get him on early, Ben, and maybe call you back some other time. I'd be fine with that, but I definitely sounds like a story that I'll be interested in.

I'll check. Yeah, I mean, I saw the trailer and I saw a piece of the documentary, and it looks awesome. I'm going to get through it tonight. But the coach is just doing something that's what sports is really about, not making people pro, but changing people's lives.

So, I want to talk about a couple of things going on. And first and foremost, if I was to tell you in the first week of July, in February, Ben, we probably did speak in February, by the first week in July, everyone will be in the race about 13 deep. including all the high profile names outside Yunkin, And maybe Pompeo. That Donald Trump would have between a 20 and 30-point lead, what would you have told me? I probably I probably would have.

If you specified that Pompeo and Yunken were out, I probably would have said that seems believable to me. I think that a twenty to thirty point lead at this stage. was very realistic for what we were seeing at the time back in February. And the other thing is that just in terms of the calendar, I think that you haven't really had an opportunity to break through. If you are viewing this as a situation where your opportunity to break through comes once people start debating, and I think that the critical question is going to be how many people are able to make that stage, then that, I think, is going to be something that really starts people really paying attention as they do traditionally around the end of August, beginning of September.

And that flows into the dynamics of the way that these presidential decisions are made. We got to remember at this point, you know, that That Hillary Clinton was still very much in the lead over Barack Obama back in the day, you know, and you s and you had everything that stirred up back in 2016 that led to this point.

So I think that one of the things that we have to keep in mind is that hasn't happened yet. And when it does, I don't know if you've been paying attention to this, Brian, but there's really a lot of stuff is up in the air given these debate rules. concerning how many different donors you have to have of a certain amount. That's something that people can get by spending money online. But also registering in these polls and with a number of these candidates, just given that they are not prominent politicians.

They're not people who have a ton of name ID necessarily. They're diluting this field in a way that I think is going to be a challenge for some people. I think that Chris Christie can make it. But that, you know, other than that top five, you know, that's probably the one, you know, sort of name you can definitely say could do it. Everybody else, it's still up in the air, and that makes for a very different debate than one that has, you know, 10 people on stage.

So you need 40,000 donors. I know that. I think you need a polling of about 1% and some prominent polls overall. But the other thing you need is to sign a pledge that you'll support the nominee. Will Hurst says, I'm not signing it.

Chris Chrissy says, I'm not going to sign it because Donald Trump's not going to sign it. And Trump says, I'm not going to debate.

So that'll change things. Yeah, I think it really would. And obviously, if Donald Trump doesn't debate, Ron DeSantis has suggested that he won't either. I think that would be silly. I think that you should always take the opportunity to debate.

And I think that when it came to the last time that Trump ditched a debate in Iowa, he ended up losing that. And so it was one of the situations where I think you do want to get on stage. You want people to see your best stuff. And that really lends itself to a lot of momentum in an era in which you don't have the traditional approach to campaigning as it was in the past. And so, with that said, these kind of pledges, I think we have to appreciate they're not really worth the paper that they're written on.

It's just been it's something that you can. Toss aside or find some justification to not go along with it. And I think that that certainly happened with a lot of people who pledged their support or endorsed. Donald Trump and then wavered, or certainly thought about wavering in the wake of the release of the Access Hollywood tape back in the day. And I think that there were a number of moments that people could have used to sort of justify going back on their word.

I think that in this case, the more interesting thing is this requirement from the Florida Republican Party that wants to make a pledge essential to appearing on the ballot in the state. And they're using the justification that that's consistent with the debate guidelines. Obviously, that sets up a tough situation in a race in which there are actually three Floridians running.

So that's something that I think is going to be a major factor in terms of just an indication of how much people are willing to kind of swallow that and accept that. But the real question all along with all of these things is whether Donald Trump shows up. If he shows up to this debate, I think it takes on a very different flavor than it does if he doesn't. And personally, I I don't think that he's going to be able to resist. The pull, especially if he has this type of dominant lead, to just shove people around a bit, make clear that he's the biggest guy in the room and that he's not going to take any of this crap.

Well, that's true, except for he did miss a Fox debate before. He is mad at Fox always, it seems.

So he might just say, Hey, who needs this? I don't want to give them ratings. Even though I thought he did a great job with Brett, you know, good job with Brett Baer. Brett Baer did a great job as usual. It was a real conversation.

I find that a couple of things are happening right now that were not foreseen. When Joe Biden avoids every single moment to talk to the press, when his press secretary doesn't answer any single question, when things come up and he dismisses him and is not available, he doesn't do all one-on-ones outside some easy ones on one easy one on MSNBC, and then you have the other guy on the other side, the middle of three court cases, taking every question imaginable and knowing what he was like as president, available every single day, sometimes twice a day. And then you see the weakness that we're showing overseas. And you see, only 33% of the people think our economy is going well. I think more and more people just turn around without seeing a campaign ad for Trump and saying, I kinda like it the way it was.

Yeah.

Well, I think that what I think you're right on all those scores. One thing I think in particular, though, that we have to mention is that this past week, Really was, I believe, the week that the Hunter Biden story, meaning not just the one that we've been talking about for years here, but the actual story about the depth of what has gone on in his situation and the idea that we live in a two-tiered system that is divided by partisanship when it comes to justice and law and order. I think this past week is when that broke through. When you have Jen Saki going on air, as she did a week ago, and saying the optics of having Hunter at that state dinner for India right after that plea deal was announced were very bad, she's admitting that. She's hearing that from all the different communications folks on the Democratic side who understand that you have reports like cocaine in the White House, you have the questions about how this deal got made, you have plenty of stuff in terms of real news developments on the whistleblower front, that other non-Fox media folks Folks are finally paying attention to that, they should have been paying attention to all along.

And I think that there really is this feeling that, you know, Joe can't run on the thing that's central to his brand anymore. The idea that he's this empathetic, grandfatherly, return to normalcy guy, that he's going to be able to restore quote-unquote, you know, decency to the White House or heal the soul of the nation. He can't run on that because people know that that's not who he is because they've had the opportunity to see who he is and who the rest of the people around him are. And now you have, you know, people openly saying, gosh, what are we going to do? How can we have a situation where maybe Joe Biden and Cono Harris are the people who could actually lose to Donald Trump, which is something that I know Democrats are openly talking about.

Certainly the Democratic friends that I have are very concerned about it. They see that as a real possibility. And so that's why you're seeing the increased coverage, not just of Gavin Newsom, but of Gretchen Whitmer, and just sort of saying, hey, can we get somebody else to come in here and do RFK Jr. is raising a lot of money, and he's actually going to be on the ballot in New Hampshire in a moment when Joe Biden isn't and could come out on top. Yeah, it's so true.

And I will say this: you have transgenders taking their top off on the White House lawn. Then you have cocaine found outside the White House library. Don't tell me there's class being restored to the White House.

Meanwhile, the Hunter Biden story is hitting warp speed. And Dr. Gail Luft, who people might not have heard of, but I've been talking about it today in Miranda Devine's comment in the New York Post. But he is somebody that knows intimately the international business dealings of. Hunter Biden, and he foolishly in twenty nineteen met with the FBI and intelligence agents to tell them all about it before the vice former vice president was running for president.

He thought he was doing the right thing. Instead, he ends up having to hide because he feels as though his life is being threatened. He put a recording out there, and here's a piece of it: cut twenty-four. The information I provided the FBI in March of twenty nineteen was fully corroborated nine months later. When the famous laptop belonging to Hunter Biden, which contained all the emails and receipts, was handed to the FBI.

And guess who seized the laptop from the computer repair shop? It was Special Agent Joshua Wilson. who was with me in Brussels earlier. He also pointed out that there was a mole for Hunter Bite in the FBI, and the guy was missing an eye. And that was his nickname.

So he's like, I'm giving you all these clues. About what went on, and listen to this. Cut twenty. I want to be clear, I'm not a Republican, I'm not a Democrat, I have no political motive or agenda. I did it out of deep concern.

That if the Bidens were to come to power, the country would be facing the same traumatic Russia collusion scandal. Only this time was China. Sadly, Because of the DOJ's uh cover-up. This is exactly what happened. And you could argue that if you look at the international scene, it's never been more perilous since the Cold War ended.

I don't think there's any doubt about it. And now you have a situation where the President, who is supposed to be Mr. Foreign Relations, brings stability there from China to Iran to Russia. You see it all within forty eight hours. They're challenging us everywhere.

And now this guy can't even come forward. He says he's worried about his own welfare. Look, I think that one of the things that we have in America in a very sad way in this moment is we don't have any faith in the kind of leadership that is on offer from the very same people who espouse themselves repeatedly and are framed by the media as the top experts in their fields. And I would apply that to everything, but I would particularly apply it to the realm of foreign policy. I feel like we have had such a disservice in terms of America's foreign policy, quote-unquote, elite over the past several decades who've led us down very wrong paths and often have been, unfortunately, compromised in one way or another.

They've certainly done a terrible job in terms of American leadership around the world. And I think that, you know, when you saw, I think there are a lot of Americans who feel like, even if they don't like Donald Trump, even if they dislike him personally, they felt like when he was in charge that things didn't happen that they're used to having happen under this quote unquote expert leadership class. Namely, that people did actually fear American might, that they were worried that the president would respond forcefully if they tried to test us. And I think that that's something that a lot of Americans want back. And they're actually kind of saying, wait a minute, we were told that this was The guy who was the agent of chaos, and yet we didn't see Russia crossing into Ukraine on his watch.

We didn't see the kind of saber rattling that we're seeing around the world, and we certainly didn't see the kind of treatment that we're getting from China in the current way under this administration.

So, I don't know if you've been following things in Russia. I find it fascinating what's happening there. But yesterday, the U.S. Navy stopped Iran from seizing two oil tankers over the Gulf of Oman. This happened in full view.

They still felt impervious. They're going to do it anyway. They almost pulled it off. They didn't, thankfully. Then we find out that the Iran-backed militia group in Iraq in March kidnapped.

Kidnapped an American. We also find out that in China, the Treasury Secretary is going to visit on the heels of China announcing they're not going to be selling us some of the precious metals that we need for the batteries that have been jammed down our throats, while we pull back on some cloud services that might be offered their direction.

So please tell me where the stability is. And in Russia, Progozian, we understand, has now shown up in St. Petersburg, according to Lushenko of Belarus.

So are we witnessing some type of civil war there? We have a handle on what's happening? I don't think we have a handle on any of this, Brian. I think that things are really sliding out of control in a lot of different ways. Just one of the things that is an aspect of what you mentioned going on in Iran, of course, is that the UAE, which is one of our partners in the region, has been really pressuring Washington to react to all the things that they've been seeing coming out of Iran to be engaged in activities of deterrence after their seizure of tankers back in April and May.

And that's something that is another just aspect of this Biden White House, which I just don't get. They seem to think that sending messages of weakness or dovishness will result in somehow people being nicer to us. When in reality, the opposite is true. When you send that message, it sends a message of weakness. It says, you know, oh, you know, just going back to sort of the idea when there were the nuclear fears were rising up, the idea that there would not be a response in kind from the West.

uh as a back channel message to Moscow, that that was something that was going to uh in some way make them treat us nicer. Uh it's absurd. You know, that's it's it's like, did any of these people actually understand how deterrence works? And that, I think, is a fundamental aspect of the debate that needs to be happening. But just to circle back to the beginning point.

I really wish that that was something that could be debated among the potential Republican candidates. You know, we deserve to see a new rocker of response. Hey, look at we didn't get a foreign policy debate for the presidency last time. That was missed because of the pandemic. Uh and some other problems.

Ben Dominich, thanks so much. The more you listen, the more you'll know. It's Brian Killmead.

President Xi is playing the ball right down the middle of the fairway here. He is leaning a little bit toward Ukraine, but he's not sending serious weapons. He's not engaging in a full-throated defense. And look no further than the Pregozhan revolution. Where was President Xi?

He was silent. It was third-tier Chinese officials who had pretty limp words of support for the best friend forever over in Moscow. I think Putin has. begun to really play out his string with President Xi. That will be great on so many levels as he's lost fifty percent of his military firepower, maybe some of his power, period, and his best fighting force is now in Belarus at a makeshift base.

And then we find out from Lushenko, the president of Belarus, he's not here. And I'm talking about Perrosion. Um Perot, the head of the Wagner Group. And he is gone. They say he's in St.

Petersburg. So, wait a second. Not only is he not dead, not only is there not a warrant out for his arrest, he's back in Russia. I know he was tight with Putin. But this makes Putin look unbelievably weak.

Unless it's all a trick, we're not to believe it. Bottom line, chaos in leadership, and their answer to chaos is to hit Ukraine with more rockets because they can't beat them on the ground yet. Hopefully they'll get the attacker's to push the Russians way back. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead.

Anybody can be a champ. It takes a man to stand up when this thing hits you in the mouth because it hurts. Everybody says when you get these inner city kids down, they'll lay over and you'll beat them by 40. You're down, 20-0. You come back from that, now you're talking about something.

103 to go. Season comes to a close for somebody here tonight. You think football builds character? It does not. He's gonna throw it.

He pulls the trigger. Football reveals character. Big difference, and that's all part of a great new documentary that's out, one of the best around. Undefeated, it's called. The CEO of Classic America Horowitz and subject to the Oscar-winning documentary joins us now, Bill Courtney.

uh who volunteered to coach The Manassas Tigers over in Shelby County in Tennessee, and the rest is chronicled in the movie. Bill, what made you jump on the sideline there? Yeah.

I'm a Memphis guy and I coached football my entire life for a living and got married and had four kids. and couldn't afford to do it for a profession. And um started a business and the school was close to my business and the opportunity came up to coach over there and so We went over there and found 17 kids. on a team that won four games in ten years and seven years later, when the movie was made, we had seventy five kids on the team and had a record of eighteen and two and It's just uh Really a uh A life-changing event for me and Uh And um when the guys came to chronicle it and make that that movie we thought nobody would ever see. life changed for all of us a little bit.

So what you did is you did you find talent and no leadership? I mean, a program not well financed, obviously, inner city, not much with the tax base there.

So you were really up against it. You know, in my book, I say one of my fundamentals is the greatest measure of the effectiveness of the leader is the actions of the followers. And I think that's uh I think my entire time at Manassas is metaphorical of that one tenant, which is Yeah, there's talent. Kids are kids. It doesn't matter what the zip code is at the time of your birth.

There's talented kids everywhere and untalented kids everywhere. And but Kids want to be held accountable. They want to be inspired. They want to go to work. They want to be cared about.

They want to have a level playing field and just an opportunity. I mean, kids have. uh an innocence that hadn't eroded by the end of high school and We just went in and Started coaching football and started coaching things like character and commitment, integrity. Allowed the human spirit and the natural goodness of those kids to take over. And so the The thing is, unfortunately, in our world, you see a kid from a certain area with tats up his arm and in an impoverished area and you think you know what you're looking at.

And when you break down those societal preconceived notions about one another and just go to work and allow humanity to take over, amazing things can happen. Right. So here's another cut. And I want to get into what you're doing now, how you're building on it. This is summing up your first two weeks, Cup 48.

Starting right guard shot, no longer in school. Shark Will I'm back or shot, no longer in school. Two players fighting right in front of the coach. Start and center arrested. Most.

Coaches That would be pretty much a career's worth of crap to deal with. I think that sums up the last two weeks for me.

So that was your first two weeks, right? Yeah.

That's right. Years later.

So, yes. That is, look, movies, the press, even this conversation. tends to sensationalize the most disadvantaged. Advantaged among us and people from uh the most disenfranchised communities, and I I don't want to do that. Um all of those things are true and the demographics are sad.

And all of the things you read and hear, but Those are human beings and those are kids and if you level the playing field and you give them an illustration of what life looks like when you adhere to certain fundamentals and tenets in your life. and then you enable them to be successful, amazing things can happen and it does not matter where you're from. True. Here's another cut, and then we'll get to what you're working on now, Cut 49. This is your first day of practice.

Everybody imagine the state of Tennessee on a map. Way over in the corner, you got Knoxville and Chattanooga. Toward the middle, you got Nashville, and you come on down here. Everybody outside of Memphis, do you know what they say the biggest city in Mississippi is? Memphis.

The rest of the state doesn't even claim us when it comes to football. We're viewed by people outside of the West Tennessee area who've played us, undisciplined. Not very well coached, run around acting a fool before the game. about everything other than football. and about ourselves rather than about the team.

You have responsibility this year, guys, just like the teams that came before you. You have responsibility to play hard, you have responsibility to take care of yourself in the classroom, and you have responsibility to show Memphis what Manassas football is about. And what was their response? Was it was it like bucking a wild bronco in the beginning? Yeah.

I mean, again, Just give people the tools. to be successful, level the playing field. Illustrate to them fundamentals and tenets that can work in your life well after the days of playing football are over, and then enable them. to respond to it. And what I said there was true.

You know, uh Memphis is One of the highest crime rate cities in the country. There's all kinds of poverty and despair here. Um you know, the the best way to change minds Is not through a bunch of banners and fancy sayings and everything else. It is Do better, work harder. And change minds through your actions, not your words.

And that's what I challenge the kids to do. And they answered the call and did it. You mentioned this was years ago. Do you still in touch with these kids today? Oh, yeah, sure.

In fact, I was just talking to your producer before we came on in the last episode of our podcast that's Doing really well was one of those players on that team. He was a guest on the show, and now. 10 years later. He is now doing philanthropic work in the exact same neighborhood that Manassas is in. Yeah, I think this is This is an army of normal folks, is the name of the podcast, right?

That's right. This is it Chavez Daniels? Yeah, that's right. Chavez Daniels, who. spent some time in jail as a sophomore in high school.

Um gangs, all of it. you see a transformation of his life as a young man in the in the film.

Now what you find out eight, nine years later is He's a grown man with kids and he started a Program called the North Memphis Steelers in North Memphis, where he is mentoring and teaching. All kinds of second grader through eighth grader kids, both boys and girls. And their motto is go first And he holds them accountable and teaches them and He also has a thing called We Not Me, and he goes around all over Memphis recording good things happening in the inner city and trying to show the world that yes, we have problems, but it's not all bad. And yes, it's an amazing story that a kid that was in jail one time is now a community leader in a very impoverished, difficult place in Memphis. Hurry is Cup fifty one.

Recently at Monance's one of our autistic players wanted to uh run the football. We talked to the other team and they they was with it the last play of the game. They won the game actually and they um allowed him to run a touchdown man. He was so happy. He felt like he just won the lottery.

So, would you handle the ball and y'all arranged it so that he could run and everybody kind of cheered him off trying to play with him? It was a crazy moment. Like, when I say even the other fans were like cheering for him. We had, I know, at least over 200 people in the stands going crazy. About him getting the opportunity, and I thought that was pretty cool.

What did he say afterwards? Man, he was dancing, just like. And our video went crazy. Like, it was just, he was happy the kids picked him up. you know, made him just feel like he was um like he was the champion, like like we wanted him to.

So, I mean, it's not only you're helping that kid, he's helping other kids, so it's being passed down. Is that what you hope to do with this podcast? An army of normal folks is exactly what it sounds like. We are trying obviously it's it's a podcast and it's a national podcast. You know, when we first have only been on there for five weeks, we've been as high as number 10 in the country on Apple.

people are listening and and here's why they're listening. I don't care if you're black, white, Asian, Latino, gay, straight, Christian, Muslim, Jewish. Right, left, Republican, Democrat, all of these things we tend to separate ourselves in. The one thing we all are as humans. And regardless of who you are, the way you believe or worship or think.

We can always celebrate together in community. when common humanity does something well. And so instead of interviewing A listers and politicians and all of this, I'm using my platform to interview normal folks who are doing extraordinary things. And their corner of the world. And we're telling their story because I fully believe that that is something that, regardless of who we are, where we come from, or how we think, we can all celebrate together in community.

And there's just very few things right now in our country that we can do that in. And so an army of normal folks is meant to be inspirational and interesting. And you'll laugh and you'll cry and you'll hear stories you've never heard. But more importantly, it's meant to inspire folks to think about Their talents and their passions and the things that they can do in their community. And then you can go to normalfolks.us and join the army.

And I know that sounds kind of hokey, but join a community where when you have an idea You have a group of people to bounce an idea off of and people who've done it who can help usher your idea and your community into a reality.

So that that's great. And you're going to still coach, though, right? Yeah, I mean, I've got a business to run, I've got a wife to keep up with, I've got this podcast I'm driving all over the place to interview people on, and during COVID. I took uh for the first time in thirty one years, I took a couple of years off and I'm off this year and I plan on going back next for sure. I miss it.

Going back to coach football. And do you find that now they said, well, for the inner cities, it's more challenging than ever?
