I'm predicting in advance it will be way, way up on the New York Times bestseller list, where Brian Kilmead, everyone that he releases, becomes a New York Times best-selling book. It is my pleasure to welcome to the Brian Kilmead Show. He's on the Brian Kilmead show, Newsmaker Hotline. We'll welcome him in just a little bit. And that is Griff Jenkins, Fox News correspondent extraordinaire.

And you know, Griff. He's been doing incredible work on the border, really has distinguished himself tremendously, and also his pedigree in being able to talk about everything that's happening currently, which we're going to talk about the upcoming. Republican primary debate schedule, because obviously there's a lot going on with that. There's a great clamor, Fox News, and it's going to be a huge night. For the Fox News channel.

And really for the process, because it will be the first time. You know, this is one of those things where you never know. Uh if you were looking at where things stood. A couple of election cycles ago when President Trump became the Republican nominee, and not many people thought. That he would be the nominee when he came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower with then future.

First Lady Melania. Not many people were betting on Trump. I was. I just know his ability to do the ultimate takedown. I I've actually seen him uh in the dub what was then called the WWF.

Which they had to give up. because of the Wildlife Federation had the ownership of the name and became WWE. Trump has even been in and on the mat, the ring of a WWE match. He is very good at the art of the deal and the art of the takedown. And did he despatch Jeb with or without the exclamation mark, My goodness did did he dispatch him quickly with one slam he said Low Energy Jeb.

And he put, who was the wrestler? Eric, I know, and Pete will know this for sure. Who had the sleeper hold in the old days of the WWE? You're done. You just put you out with the sleeper hold.

He put it was the million-dollar man Ted DiViase. There you go. Ted DiViase, there he is, ladies and gentlemen. He cannot be stopped. Pete, you've got it all when it comes to these types of TV and movie trivia.

I look forward to doing a segment with you all about that.

So. You got the takedown, and then one by one, whether it was low energy Jeb or Little Marco, and one after the other. And if you played ball with him, he left you alone. You tried to lay a glove on him, he took you down. Joining us and he can talk about all of this is Fox News correspondent and my longtime great friend, Griff Jenkins.

Griff, welcome to the Brian Kilmeat Show. Hey, Harry, how are you? I am well. And, Griff, we have to keep meeting like this. This makes my day.

Yeah, listen, I just got off the air talking with Bill and Dana about it. But by the way, you're invoking wrestling as a kid that grew up in Memphis with the famous Jerry the King lawless. There you go. Back in the day, I remember the kid getting autographs from Rowdy, Roddy Piper, but it was that huge dude, the Shake, who did the sleeper. Remember that dude?

I do remember The Shake, but also Ted DiBiase had a sleeper hole, too. Not to be confused with Stan the Man Stasiak who had the heart punch.

Okay? He'd take your one arm, put it behind your head, punch you in the heart, and you'd go out and take a nap. Yes, yes, I love it. I love it. Listen, I gotta tell you, it's really it's really fascinating.

You know, the hit I just did it's uh with Fox's latest Fox business polling numbers now that our Fox business folks are getting into the thing. It's you know, look, Trump Trump's Got no competition. I mean, let's just be honest about it. I mean, he's commanding the lead. In South Carolina, he's up 48%.

Nikki Haley's a distant second at 14%. Out in Iowa, Terms got 46% of voters, with DeSantis second at 16%.

So this is a big deal. But what's really The elephant in the room question, as I told Bill and Dana, is what happens If Trump doesn't show up to the debate, and what impact is that going to have? And we really haven't been in this situation before. It's true.

Some will say, look, Reagan didn't debate. You know, this one didn't debate. Carter didn't debate Ted Kennedy. But this is different, though, because although he was the president, he now is a challenger as well. I think most people would agree it makes him like a super challenger because he has won the presidency.

Most people want him to be there. They think he should be there. Obviously, him not being there makes it a very different night. Because one thing, for example, my friend Chris Christie, who's just been brutal to President Trump, he wants to go off on him on that debate stage. It's a lot better if the person's there than talking about somebody behind their back.

Yeah, but here's what's different than Reagan and Carter and everything else is, and by the way, I'll tell you unofficially, I'm also a reporter today that's on indictment watch standby. We expect Donald Trump to be indicted yet again, this time by the special counsel in matters relating to January 6th. He's got 37 indictments in Miami from the documents case, the classified documents, and then of course New York's VA previously indicting Trump. And so in this case, I mean, look, If you don't show up on the debate stage, it's a sign of weakness. But the dynamic is so unique and historically different because every one of those candidates are going to have to support Donald Trump, the frontrunner, in what is perceived by a large majority of the country as politically motivated targeting.

Griff, let me bring up the three things that I've been hearing about that would comprise this alleged, and I agree with you, he will be indicted on January 6th criminal charges. There's no doubt about it. He will be. And it will likely be things like tampering with congressional hearings, defrauding the United States. And this is the kicker.

The KKK Act of 1871.

Now, unless there's something else, most people that I have heard have said there's no factual link to any of this stuff. And I don't know what you think, Griff, but I know what I think. I think it's very well baked in. You can indict him 1,000 more times, and probably on the Republican side, his numbers will continue to go up and his fundraising will continue to go up.

However, As a general election candidate, suburban women, independent voters, Probably will not take very kindly to what could be at the time. If he does more, there's supposed to be even more counts on the initial documents charge. If something doesn't go Jack Smith's way, he's prepared to make 30 or more charges, is what I hear. You know that Georgia is coming right behind. That'll just be on a date and time of someone's choosing.

President Trump. Will likely have more than 100 counts. A federal Indictments, charges. and be the frontrunner, maybe even the frontrunner, if you believe the latest polls and most of the polls in the general election. Is there something to this, Griff, that this just isn't sticking in any way?

Well, listen, I mean, you know, Starting At the end of the story, working backwards. And we don't know how this story ends. It's certainly. uh clear that the former President is going to have a real difficult tap dance between the legal proceedings against him with this trial indictments case now in May of next year, which is dead in the middle of the next year. But Riff, I don't think it's going to happen in May.

I think it's May right now just to shut everybody up. Got both sides mad. Jack Smith wanted it tomorrow. Donald Trump wanted it after the election. Hey guys, you're all unhappy.

It's May 24th. How do you love me now? But I think what's going to happen as it gets closer, the Trump campaign, the defense is going to be able to say, look, We're not ready for this. There's comprehensive number. Of documents.

This is very intensive. How do we even defend the defendant in terms of top secret documents? Jurors are not going to be given top security clearance, Griff.

So I think they're going to easily be able to do motions, kick the can. I don't expect any of that before the general election.

Well, I think I think there's a lot to that, and I think you're Your suggestion is a real possibility. I mean, my goodness, I'm not a lawyer, but it can be very hard to make the case and say, hey, you are putting my client, who is the leading candidate in the Republican Party for president, on trial in the midst of the throes of these campaigns, which are twenty four, seven just absolutely grueling campaigns. And of course, that case, I think you're probably right. If I had to bet, I'd bet that you got it right that it's going to be a delay.

However, But, Griff, let me comment on that because I think that's a defense. I think that would turn out before a judge to be a losing defense, because they're just going to say that's not my problem, that's not anybody's problem. The way you get this past may twenty-fourth and past the November first Tuesday of twenty twenty-four is to say you need more time to put on a proper defense. And that judges, federal judges in particular, are usually very accommodating. If you say you need more time because of the intensive, complex nature of all these documents and that you're challenging, you know, that you have five years to negotiate with the National Archives, that this should be administrative and not even criminal.

I think you get past the election by saying you need more time to put your defense on. Yeah, and you know I wonder how much consideration for the Charge public court of opinion charge against this DOJ, I wonder how much they take into consideration. I mean, it's one thing to indict The sitting president's top contender, it's another thing to convict them. That's the stuff we see in countries where democracy is a far cry. And I think that that's going to be, I've got to believe that's part of the consideration when they talk about a delay.

But we'll see. I will say this, though. And I'm bringing the conversation back a little bit to this debate stage. 30 seconds. If he's not on that debate stage, how does any Republican, even Chris Christie, separate themselves because they've all got to support being opposed to the indictments?

Although Chris Christie often says That's what Trump did is disqualifying anyhow. He's really gone the furthest of all of them. Vivek Ramaswamy has been masterclass, and that's why he's very close now to DeSantis for second place. I'll tell you what, Trump, you expected, and maybe he's winning by more than anybody thought, but Vivek Ramaswamy, he is overachieving. He is indeed, and he's got a lot.

He's young, he's charismatic, and he's got a lot of fresh ideas. We'll see where it goes. We got more than 400 days, and it's really starting to heat up. Griff, I can't wait until we talk again. Always good to be with you, my friend.

Take Carrie. Have a great one. You too, the great Griff Jenkins. And we'll be right back. Don't go away.

It's a busy news day. This is. The Brian Kilmead Show. Diving deep into today's top stories, it's Brian Kilmead from the Fox News Podcasts Network. I'm Ben Dominich, Fox News contributor and editor of the Transom.com daily newsletter.

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

What was particularly disturbing is that it turns out that people inside the Justice Department were raising what some of us were raising outside the Justice Department. That is, we were writing columns saying, isn't the special limitations about to run? Why aren't you doing anything on these crimes from like 2014, 2015? These whistleblowers said, We raised the same issue. And in fact, there was a deal on the table that would extend that statue of limitations, and Weiss allowed it to run.

The question is: why? Why would he tell these whistleblowers he didn't have this authority? Why, when prosecutors signed off on multiple felonies, did it just somehow mysteriously die? All of those are very serious questions, and why this scandal is becoming one of the most significant of my lifetime. I mean, if half of this is true, we're dealing with a major scandal in the United States.

That is Jonathan Turley, who is one of the finest and most objective. Experts in America. You're listening to the Brian Kilmead show, Alice and Pete Eric. Yours truly, Harry Hurley, filling in today for Brian. You just, he's the gold standard.

I'll tell you what, he's he doesn't always say what you want to hear. But he says what needs to be said. Whether it's popular or it's unpopular. And I've known from the beginning, and as you see, it's connecting dots, it's pieces to a puzzle. You see what's happening, and it's happening in real time to where the Democrat media, and I don't say Democratic notice, the Democrat media will not be able to ignore it very much longer.

This also is very important because President Biden has maintained since the campaign and through the presidency, almost three years now, that He never talked to his son. He's never met any of these business people. We see the photos. We heard the audio. We now know what Devin Archer is about to say.

There's a lot here. Listen to the president in his defense about knowing nothing. He's already Johnson on laugh-in. He sees nothing. He knows nothing.

Eric Hutt won. How many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings? I've never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings. Did Hunter Biden commit a crime? Have you spoken to your son for President Alike?

Are you confident nothing wrong? I'm confident. From the fall, about your son Hunter, for Ruddy discharged at his deer campaign when he said. Yes, yes, yes. God love you, man.

You you're a one-horse pony. Except, no, he's not. He's Peter Doocy, and he's anything but that. He's been the one out of the press corps in Washington that has held President Biden to account. And his questions are even more significant now.

And then there's Messrs Shapley and Ziegler under oath. Confirming 17 million. Wow. We'll be back. This is.

The Brian Kill Meat Show. Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. approximate total transfers from the Romania company. Would have been $3.1 million to everyone.

How much did Hunter Biden and his business associates receive from State Energy HK Limited through the Robinson-Walker LLC? $3 million. The total transfers from Hudson West 3 to everyone was $3.7 million. Burisma paid to everyone involved $6.5 million. Burisma also paid Blue Star Strategies and a law firm hundreds of thousands of dollars, bringing the total Burisma payments to over $7 million.

Is that correct? That is correct, $7.3 million. Between 2014 and 2019, this brings the total amount of foreign income streams received to approximately $17 million, correct? That is correct. And that is IRS whistleblower, who used to be Mr.

X. Joseph Ziegler. uh in a back and forth with Congressman James Comer, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee. You're listening to the Brian Kilmead Show with Allison Pete and Eric Harry Hurley filling in today for Brian. And on the Brian Kilmead Show, Newsmaker Hotline is John Yannarelli.

Pedigree, his books are fantastic: How to Spot a Terrorist Before It's Too Late, Disorderly Conduct, The Oddities of My 20-Year Life as a FBI Special Agent. We're going to draw on that in just a moment. And you can follow him on what used to be Twitter, right? It's now X, I think, or it's going to be X, and it's at FBI John. John is a retired FBI special agent, member of the executive staff of the FBI Cyber Division, and a member of the FBI SWAT team.

Again, his handle. At FBI John. John, welcome back to the Brian Kilmeat Show. Good morning, Harry. Thanks for having me back.

Well, it's great to be with you. And I'm going to get into these Gilgo beach murders because I'm really curious if you see any connection to the four ladies that were killed in my neck of the woods in the Atlantic City area. A lot of chatter about the crimes being similar, and perhaps, you know, what happened in Massapequa happened here in Atlantic City, and as you know, an unsolved crime after all these years. We'll get to that. But let's talk about something that I don't think a lot of people they hear.

Sometimes jargon starts to happen. The form 1023. It's the 1023. It's all in the 1023.

So, what I think is important on the Brian Kilmey Show is to help educate. And, John, you're the best person I know to do that. What is a form FD 1023 that. is used by FBI special agents.

So an FP ten twenty three is one of 2,000 forms the FBI has. There's a saying in the FBI: if it's not written down, it never happened. You have to document everything. And the 1023 is when you meet with a source. you're basically filling out the substance of that meeting of what the source told you, what information was provided.

So that way, there's a record of it, and that information can be called later on and tied to other crimes that may be investigated. You want to have it all written down for not only the agent operating that source, but that information may be helpful to other agents working other cases. John, is it established, or is it just one of those things that people think they know that the person that is behind this information that's been provided to the FBI, the human source, is this confirmed that it's a human source that has reliably been used by the FBI significant number of times? Great question, Harry.

So here's the thing about all this.

Now sources tell us all sorts of things in the FBI, and we document it all. It doesn't necessarily mean what they said is correct or true, or it's been vetted out based on that ten twenty three form. You have to do other things to make sure that it's accurate and correct. But My understanding with this source, it's been well documented that the source was considered reliable. The source had been used for a number of occasions and investigations.

And apparently, the source had been paid approximately two hundred thousand dollars over the period of time working for the FBI. I have had a number of sources in the FBI. All agents are required to have sources. I think I paid out a total of $200 to my sources over the years for the criminal information. Most of them were in trouble and looking to get themselves out of a jam.

If you've got a source earning significant money. he's probably considered fairly reliable. I think that's an important comment, John.

So I'll concede that an FD 1023 is used to record raw, unverified reporting from confidential human sources, that it's not established as fact, but it is alleged. But one thing that is unambiguous, and that Are the bank records that total millions of dollars? If you listen to what's come out of the hearings, 17 point some odd million, according to Joseph Ziegler and Mr. Shapley, a fellow that I know that's very reliable, that's been covering this, thinks it's double that. But the bank records, they aren't alleged.

That that is empirical information, isn't it? Absolutely. We seize in the FBI bank records all the time because the reality is you got to account for income. Where are those sources of money? If the government were to look at you or me, you're not going to find streams of cash coming in from various outlets It's fairly identifiable.

So if you have large amounts of income, How do you explain that? That's what the government should be looking at. John Yannarelli on the Brian Kilme show Newsmaker hotline.

Now, this is again from your wide spectrum of observation and pedigree. Devin Archer, who was supposed to testify, then he was supposed to testify again, and now he's supposed to testify yet one more time and appears to want to testify, but at the same time, he's about to be sentenced for his crime. Former Hunter Biden best friend, business partner. How would you describe The weight given to the process, someone like Devin Archer.

Well, it'd be interesting to hear more of what he has to say. I mean, there's been all of these allegations. He's obviously looking at prison time.

So there's on the one hand, you got to look at the motivation to provide information, and maybe it's going to help you at some point. Maybe you get released early. On the other hand, You have nothing to lose at this point. You want to talk and come clean.

So this person needs to be heard out, and we need to have further testimony on the topic. John Gattarelli, we're going to pivot now to these Gilgo Beach murders so we can spend some quality time because I know you know a lot about what's being alleged here. Serial murder series, twenty ten, twenty eleven circa era. What took until twenty twenty three For to be where we are now.

So technology has evolved. That's first of all. There's a lot of things that we're able to do in the law enforcement world that you couldn't do a decade ago, aside from the advancements of DNA, which what we're learning now is growing more and more exponentially every day.

So we're going to be able to do things in the future, Harry, that you can't imagine. But that's part of it. The other thing is the cell phone technology. The cell phone signals that are out there and the ability to track them back even the burner phones that this individual had allegedly used. Purchasing a phone from a store that he could use one time to make the calls to these victims, set up the meetings, and then dispose of the phones and never use them again.

However, the FBI, law enforcement, they can go in and track those signals, what towers those phones pinged off of and where did they come back to, and hopefully, even take that information and trace the actual phones to the point of purchase and by whom. And they can also show those phones were near perhaps his phone that he did use with confidence, that was not a drop phone, right? That's exactly it. We're showing those burner phones are in the vicinity. if not very close within feet of where the subject's actual permanent cell phone might have been.

I've watched you on the Fox News channel. I've listened to you on Fox News Radio discussing this. And I've heard you address what I'm about to ask you, John. And those just joining us is John Yannarelli, who is a retired, distinguished FBI special agent, pedigree, Times Infinity, and a great author as well and contributor, and does a lot in cybersecurity. John, in terms of this profile, if we have one, does this fit that Rex Huerman uh could be I mean, he I I think he should certainly be at least looked at, and I do believe the Atlanta County uh prosecutor in uh New Jersey is looking at this.

Does what happened in Atlantic City a number of years ago fit this person's profile. I think there's a number of parallels here, and it certainly warrants looking at along with any other unsolved murders that may be similar. Harry, one of the things I'll tell you, somebody who commits these type of crimes They don't do it and just say, okay, I'm good, I'm going to stop for the rest of my life. They are going to feed that desire to continue to do those sort of things.

So I would be very surprised to find that Yeah, there were no other murders subsequent. To 10 years ago. And I would look back prior to because you don't just start by going out and committing this sort of heinous act. You build up to it. I imagine law enforcement is going to find encounters with.

women that were working as prostitutes who will say, hey, I had an experience with somebody and he was very strange and I felt very threatened and might perhaps be able to identify it to the subject. to where this person was able to build up and carry out these terrible crimes. Is there a comfort level, too, that when you're looking at who is capable of doing this kind of thing, they're comfortable, whether it's in their backyard or if the Atlantic City case is similar to it, where you could see someone being comfortable with that? For those who haven't been following it as closely, Rex Huerman has been charged with killing three people. He's a suspect of a fourth, architect by profession, married, father of two, living in Massapequa Park, Long Island.

You've heard Brian Kilmie talk a lot about this. Brian knows the area very, very well. I think he's within a couple of miles of Rex Euerman. The neighbors have described him, this is fantastic, John, as, quote, a neighborhood creep, end quote.

So was this guy on the radar screen? for quite a while. There's a lot of people you meet that rub you the wrong way. You might think it's creepy. I think it's hard for the average person to take the leap and say somebody would be capable of this.

So the neighbors might not have suspected, but it looks like law enforcement started looking at this guy for some period of time, and we're waiting for. Having enough evidence to be able to get that arrest warrant. Last thing you wanna do is arrest somebody. and then find you can't go forward. And now when you build evidence down the road, you might face a double jeopardy situation.

So law enforcement was careful. I'm sure he was being monitored to make sure that he wasn't committing any other acts. Along the way, while he was under the microscope, thank goodness they have him in custody now. Again, everything is alleged at this point because he's been convicted of nothing, but all the facts seem to point that way. And I think your community is safer today because of the fact he's behind bars.

Yeah, I feel that way. John, in terms, we have, yeah, we have a couple minutes. In terms of DNA, and you were talking about how we have capabilities now that we didn't have back in 2010, 2011-ish. In terms of collecting DNA, once again, it looks like the person's own trash can is a treasure trove of evidence of DNA. Is it true that a, because I've heard this, but I know you're going to be able to either confirm it or dispel it.

Is it true that a pizza box from a long time ago? has has borne important DNA evidence in this case? If you've touched it, you've left behind DNA. And one of the things law enforcement does, it's known as a trash cover. If you're a subject of an investigation and they're looking for DNA, they might collect the trash you put out on the street.

Once you put that out for collection, it's no longer your property. Anybody can come and take it and go through it. They'll pick it up.

Now they may they're looking for other things of evidence. But if they find something on uh you with handle, there's a good probability they're gonna be Be able to get DNA off of it to match against whatever they found from the victims. And that's the important thing in the Atlantic City case as well. What they're going to be looking at is not just modus of operation and how this crime was committed. They're going to look at what DNA may have been left behind by the killer and see if it matches to the subject they have now.

John Yannarelli, in our closing minute, John spent twenty years as an FBI special agent, and the FBI trusted him to be the former FBI national spokesperson, in case you're wondering why he sounds so good and can speak so well on these things. Closing comment. This now could possibly not just Atlantic City, this could bring, and then these things sometimes when you talk to people and they either get convicted or admit to certain things to try to improve their outcome, that you find out other things, this suspect could theoretically provide other closure for things still not solved, right, John? Absolutely. And it's in his interest to cooperate.

I'm sure at some point when the evidence begins to mount, an attorney is going to whisper in his ear, let's get us the best deal possible, which it means he's never getting out, but maybe he avoids certain penalties that he would be facing otherwise. perhaps this person will decide to tell us more of what he knows. If not, law enforcement's going to do what they do best. They're going to continue to work these cases and hopefully solve some crimes, bring closure for families. The sign of a great conversation is when you feel like you just said hello and now you have to say goodbye.

John, I always appreciate the opportunity to visit with you. Thanks for all that you do and for the great work that you do in all the different aspects of your life. And good to present you today on Brian's Show. Harry, thanks for having me. A real pleasure.

We're going to be right back. Don't go away. He is John Yannarelli. I'm Harry, filling in for Brian with Allison, Pete, and Eric. This is.

The Brian Kilmead Show. Learning something new every day on the Brian Kilmead Show. From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmead. It's been a long week and I've seen a lot of stuff. I've seen a lot of stuff.

Suggesting I'm this, suggesting I'm that. Here's one thing I feel: I feel like everybody's entitled to their opinion. You can think. You can think something all you want to, it doesn't mean it's true, right?

So, I love our country. I want to see it restored to what it once was before all this bullshit started happening to us. I love my country, I love my family, and I will do anything to protect that. I can tell you that, right now. Who would ever believe?

That you would need to defend something like this. I mean, this literally is where we are. where certain people Pick out of the crowd, for whatever reason at that given moment, someone or something that they want to cancel. Try that in a small town. How anyone Got away.

With floating that it's racist and all these different things that they've had to say about it. I I have to give Jason Aldeen a lot of credit. He didn't cower, he didn't back down. I thought CMT pulling the video was weak. and the other side will never take something down.

That one or two, or even if it's a significant number of people or organizations that they know are against them every day of the week, anyhow, they will never take down something like this.

So, Jason Aldin showed that if you stay strong, you stay true to your principles and your beliefs, that they can try to cancel you. But that you can fight back. And he fought back. Very patriotically, very intellectually, honestly. Try that in a small town.

On the Brian Kilmead Show Newsmaker hotline is one of the absolute best in the business. I'm a huge fan, Michael. Michael Goodwin, New York Post columnist, extraordinaire.

You can follow him, his handle on formerly Twitter soon, soon to be X. Get ready for that, Michael. M. Goodwin, G-O-O-D-W-I-N underscore dash NY Post. Michael, welcome to the Brian Kilmead Show.

Good morning, Harry. Thank you. Great to be with you. And thanks for all the great work that you do. And it's the New York Post once again leading the way on this Devin Archer situation.

I have the sneaky suspicion, Michael, that like with Nixon, and I think there's a whole lot more there here with Biden Inc. than there was on a stupid, bungled break-in that they decided to lie about. And look what that turned into. I mean, we have bank records, we have now IRS, credible people that have done some of the most comprehensive, complex international cases. They've documented over $17 million to Biden Inc.

Others have it at even more than that. You have now Devin Archer, the former best friend of Hunter and business partner, and he appears to me to be willing to speak before this committee. I get a little concerned, Michael. It keeps getting canceled. But what can you say relative to Devin Archer?

And is this getting to the point where the walls are starting to close in on the Bidens?

Well, look, I do think there is a continuing pattern here. I mean, you've got the whistleblowers, you and don't forget, Tony Bobolinski really was the initial, the first whistleblower in all of this. True. And I think that the panel's knowledge Has continued to grow with all of the different testimony that has come in. And then, of course, their use of the subpoena power to subpoena the records of the banks, where we found that welter of what, 20 companies, LLCs, where money was being moved around and then distributed to nine members of a Biden family.

Um So I think what we're seeing is them building a case. And no doubt, there are parts of it we don't know yet that they're working on or that they're basically saving for public testimony. I mean, they're acting the way prosecutors act, which is you brick by brick, you build a case that the other side cannot demolish because it's covered from front to back, from left to right with evidence and compelling evidence and irrefutable evidence really. And that's what I think we're witnessing here, Harry, is this development of this.

solid case against the Bidens.

Now Obviously, there are the complications of the U. S. Attorney David Weiss, of Merrick Garland, whom I think is just a partisan hack who has done Joe Biden's bidding. And you're obviously going to see the Democrats not wanting any taste of this, going after the whistleblowers, going after Republicans. You've got the media Just echoing the Democrats' talking points that this is all about just smearing Joe Biden.

None of it's true. Don't you know, doesn't everybody have Pedo influence to foreign leaders. I mean, the things the Democrats are saying are so preposterous. It is. It's terrible.

Michael Goodwin on the Brian Killmeat Show, Newsmaker Hotline, regular all-star guest on Brian's program. I'm a firm believer that there's a lot of merit to sometimes the best question is the most simple question. While Americans are right now buying food on payovertime options and working a second or third job to try to make it, they start hearing about all these members, even grandchildren, having direct wire transfer, direct deposits into their accounts of large sums of money, all totaling millions of dollars. That cannot be disputed, millions of dollars.

So, Michael, the basic question is: like if you and I opened our own widget factory and we would, I would name it, I would give you top billing, Michael and Harry's widgets. We would be able to say, look, we sell widgets and we sell the best darn widgets that there are. And, you know, go to michaelandharry.com. And buy the widget.

So we would have a product, we would have something. What Do the Bidens do to earn millions of dollars from foreign countries being sent to them so faithfully?

Well, look, I think that was one of the brilliant points that James Comerly, head of oversight. made that what is what is the product? that they're selling. and where are the invoices. That say what services they performed in exchange for the money that they are demanding.

Of course, there are none. This is an influence peddling. This is not about providing a real service, except you are delivering then the Vice President of the United States to a foreign business interest or a foreign government. I mean, even Michael, even if you do a PayPal transfer to a family member or a Venmo for something, who knows for what, it asks you what is this transaction for? I'm a former vice president of a bank.

I can say that these types of wire transfers or direct deposits, they're usually, if not always, accompanied by what's it for? And I think this is a big reason why there are all these suspicious transaction activity transaction reports that so there's a lot here to always unpack with the Bidens. And of course, he says, the President, I've never even talked to my son about his business dealings.

So to me, that makes him a bad dad. Because I have three children and I know all my kids' businesses and what they do, and I'm anxious to learn how their job is going.

So we're to believe the president, who gets credit for being the greatest family man in the world, although he doesn't acknowledge one of his grandchildren, he forgets he has one more, is the greatest dad in the world and doesn't ever talk to his son. Remember, he said, Michael, that he has never, he told Peter Ducey, as you know, that. I've never talked to my son about his business dealings. What father has ever said that in history?

Well, and I think that's perhaps the most interesting lie that we've heard in a long time, because you have to ask yourself. It's so obvious. Don't forget in 2013, Hunter Biden flew with Joe Biden on Air Force two to China and came back with a $1.5 billion commitment from a Chinese bank for his hedge fund.

So you would have to say, then why would Joe Biden say he's never discussed it? And he continues to stand by that claim, despite everything on the laptop of pictures of the testimony of Devin Archer, which is coming up. He continues to stand by that claim today. I have never discussed my son's businesses with him. And my my thinking about this, Harry, is that He had to make that lie because It's as outrageous as it is.

Suppose he had said I have discussed My son's businesses with them.

Well then the door is open. Then you have to say, if you're a journalist or congressional investigator, well, what did you discuss? What did you do? Did you meet those people? Did you help him in any way?

So that first lie, as outrageous as it was, was necessary because he couldn't entertain the follow-up questions that would inevitably come. And with the cover of the Democrat media and, of course, social media that locked down anybody that was telling the truth, they got either ramped down or completely deplatformed. He got away through one election, but I would have to believe they would understand it could never get through another. And perhaps at that point, he was considering keeping his word that he was going to be a transitional type one-term president from the unacceptable Trump to bring back all this wonderfulness that he was supposed to bring. Such as Bidenomics, which is hilarious to me, Michael, because I think this is just brazen chutzpah.

President Biden admitted that he didn't even know. What Bidenomics was, that the media, and he pointed out the Wall Street Journal in particular, giving them credit for it, that he didn't even know what it meant. And then one day later, big banners flew, and Biden delivering a speech touting Bidenomics and how it's working. There, I said it. Take it away.

Yeah.

Well look I I I think this is another double-edged sword for him. Certainly, if you look at the polls, his lowest. Reading is on the economy. Most people do not feel this economy is better for them. Although there are lots of data that show different patterns and trends.

most people feel that they are further off behind. And that was largely because of the inflation which his policies helped to ignite. And so people are still behind where they were, even though they've gotten, let's say, salary increases. inflation was larger. And once you've spent that inflation money, Right, once you paid $1.50 more for a tank of gasoline per gallon, you never get that money back.

You never really catch up with that.

So if inflation was up to 9% and you got a 5% or a 6% or a 7% increase in your income, you still never catch up. You're still further behind. And I think that money is gone forever. And many people, I think, still feel that. They feel the impact of all of that spending they had to do because of inflation.

So even as it recedes, They're still more in the red than they were when he took office. Two minutes row with Michael Goodwin. Let's make it count. Let's move on to Florida and this education issue. My longtime friend and my former governor, I think he's absolutely wrong with what he said.

And I think everything that Vice President Kamala Harris said is wrong, that even CNN has said that she was wrong. Eric, let's take a listen and we'll tee it up for Michael this way: cut 18.

Well, I think two things, Margaret. First of all, I didn't do it and I'm not involved in it, are not the words of leadership. You know, look, Governor DeSantis started this fire with the bill that he signed, and now he doesn't want to take responsibility for whatever is done in the aftermath of it. And from listening and watching his comments, he's obviously uncomfortable. It's Governor Chris Christie on CBS with that nonsense.

I don't agree with him on that. I don't agree that it is racist. What is your take on all this?

Well, look, I think that DeSantis is both right and vulnerable. And he I think he's right. You know, way back when he was re-elected, it seems like ages ago now, but it was. just at the end of twenty twenty two, when he talked about Florida is where Woke goes to die. And I think he set himself and the le state legislature, which has a Republican supermajority, so that there's no question of the Democrats making any headway, really.

But that they took on a lot of these issues And some of it does feel as though it was done for for to make a statement. It wasn't necessarily legislation designed only to govern the school system. It was a statement. And I think DeSantis himself got caught up in some of this statement making that this would be his stripes for the battle ahead, which of course was running for President. And someone said to me recently, This is a DeSantis donor.

Who said to me recently, he sometimes feels as though DeSantis is running for governor of the United States. That's a good comment. Yeah, and I think there's something to that.

So he has gotten trapped in the details of things that, you know, legislation is one thing, and then you get the rollout of, say, school boards, okay, here's the legislation. We're adhering to it. Here's how we're going to implement it. Like when you're the governor, you get caught up in the implementation as well. We have a hard break in 30 seconds, and I want to get this out here.

The Fox News first debate hasn't even happened yet.

So in fairness, this is a brutal question. Has DeSantis already jumped the shark? I don't think so. You know, the situation with Donald Trump, of course, is very fluid. We haven't seen really any movement in his supporters yet.

But we're still about, what, five months away from any vote being cast in Iowa or New Hampshire. But I think these first four states are crucial for DeSantis. They're crucial always for everybody. But I think particularly for DeSantis, if he does not perform well in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, Nevada, if he doesn't win at least two, if not three of those states, I think it's going to be very hard for him to catch up after that. Michael, great to visit with you.

My pleasure. We'll be back. That was Michael Goodwin from the New York Post. This is the Brian Kilmead Show. Both sides, all opinions.

It's Brian Killmeat. A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Welcome back with Allison, Pete, and Eric. I'm Harry Hurley filling in today for Brian.

And yes, this is the Brian Killmead Show coming up after the bottom-of-the-hour break. A true patriot, a great American. And I know these descriptions are overused, but they're not in the case of Joey Jones. He is a humble, good man. And we're going to visit with him coming up in just a little bit, so don't miss that.

What I want to do in the precious time that we have now is continue this issue about the Florida education legislation. Our vice president, who always is quick. To get it wrong. Did it again? Eric cut fifteen.

to replace history with lies. Middle schools. students in Florida. to be told that enslaved people benefited from slavery.

Now they lie, and always remember that this whole Biden side, pretty much the whole Democrat hierarchy right now, everything they say. they are guilty of. Like when they said don't say gay in Florida legislation, and it never did say that, even CNN. has called out Vice President Harris Eric Cut16. Everybody involved in this says this is completely a fabricated.

issue and yet look how quickly Kamala Harris jumped on it.

So the fact that this is her best moment, a fabricated matter, is pretty ridiculous. And Governor DeSantis really didn't help himself here. This was a bad answer. I got to give Christie this much. I don't like what he's been doing in certain respects, but.

This was a bad answer. Cut 17. I didn't do it, and I wasn't involved in it. But I think what they're doing is I think that they're probably going to show some of the folks that eventually parlayed being a blacksmith into doing things later in life.

Well, I think that was a really bad answer because DeSantis took on Disney, and he didn't do that. He wasn't involved in that either. Reedy Creek existed since Walt Disney and their own sovereignty. He got involved in Board of Elections, even supported candidates, I believe, when he didn't think the right things were being done. When you're governor in your state, you can't say you didn't do it, and you can't say you weren't involved, at least.

This is the Brian Kilmeet Show. A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmead. Welcome to the Brian Kilmead Show with Allison Pete and Eric. My name is Harry Hurley, and it is an honor to fill in for Brian today, who has the day off.

This also is a true privilege for me. And let me let... Joey Jones, who's on the Brian Kilmeat Show Newsmaker hotline, knows that I did not have. the privilege or the pleasure to serve But I'm the son, Of a World War II hero who was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, two Purple Hearts. I watched my father pick shrapnel out of his fingernails, out of just any part of his body that the medal would work its way out over the course of decades.

So I am very proud of my father. And Joey, I am very proud of you. You are a great American. And I know these terms get to be almost cliché, but I absolutely mean it in your case. Thank you for your service.

Well, thank you, and thank you for your family service. Obviously, uh. The greatest generation is an important generation to us. I always try to acknowledge Vietnam veterans anytime I have a chance to be on this topic because we did a bad job of that in the 60s. And the amazing part is those past generation veterans, no matter how they were treated or what they went through, they've just kept a spirit of patriotism about them, from your dad to Vietnam veterans to even Gulf War veterans.

And so I've always looked at it as my legacy in this war on terror to do the same for my country. And I honor each era, as you just did. I can speak about my fathers in this way, Joey. The generation that saved the world, the World War II veterans, They did their job. They saved the world, and they came back home and they didn't really talk about it.

That's quite extraordinary, isn't it? You know, part of that history is they didn't talk about it when they got home because it took them a month to get back here and they had a chance to talk about it because that's all they had to do for their for most of them for that ship ride back. That's one of the things that changed the most with the wars we fought after that. When you look at the stark contrast between World War II, the Korean War, and then Vietnam, one of the biggest differences is, you know, they called it shell shock, they called it back. Flashbacks and with us, they call it PTSD, but the severity of it and how it affected them is so starkly different from World War II to Vietnam.

And part of that is the expediency at which they came back, how they came back, where they came back to, in contrast to one another. And then, with my generation, I mean, you come back on a plane and you could be back home out of the military within a month of leaving war. And that's a quick turnaround compared to what the men and women coming back from World War II experienced. Such a good point. I always hated that term, shell-shocked.

I just thought that was completely ridiculous. I also believe, and I've interviewed a lot of people on this topic, Joey, that we're very good at training our military. We're not very good at the exit interview. People just get done, and I hope we're improving in later years. But I don't think the exit interview part of things was handled very well.

And just a quick reset: it's Fox News contributor Joey Jones, the author of Unbroken Bonds of Battle, Modern Warriors Book. Book of Heroism, Patriotism, and Friendship. You can follow Johnny and obviously Johnny Joey Jones at Johnny underscore dash Joey. Johnny underscore dash Joey. And this also is part of a great Fox News piece of work as well.

And I would love to hear someone like you that served in your time, where you served, and obviously all of us who know you know you left. good portion of your body on the battlefield. You lost two limbs, two legs, and and you never, you know, boohoo or anything. You're I think you're just amazing at so many levels. What was it about the Vietnam era.

We have the World War two. They came home as conquering heroes. They saved the world. They're called the greatest generation. The Korean War, some don't even call it a war, they call it a conflict.

They say that Many that it's the forgotten war. Vietnam. Disgraceful.

Now, you you know, a country can even be against whatever, against this war or its purpose, or not believing there was a vital American interest and be against it. Why was there such visceral You know, from Jane Fonda and some of those clowns to, you know, other people that when our Vietnam Veterans came home, they were spit on, as you know, really treated very, very badly, which couldn't help but even further create problems for the Vietnam veterans. What was it about that particular war that We, the American people, gosh, I'm using the word we, I would never do this to a veteran. I thank veterans all the time for your service. We should buy veterans their lunch when we see them at a cafe or a restaurant.

What was it about the Vietnam era, Joey, that the veterans were treated so poorly? Yeah, you know, I'll let you in on secret. I'm 37 years old, so I didn't experience much of it firsthand. But I have read about it and I've had conversations.

So I don't know if I can answer that question well, but I can answer it from the perspective and lens that I've found for myself. I think that. You know, to be the most gracious in it, it was a counterculture that stems probably from the culture of the 50s. I mean, during the 50s, you know what, Leave It to Beaver, and that kind of setting looked like traditional American values coming back from literally being on the brink of our own destruction to winning a world war, second industrial revolution, the idea of going out and creating a new way of living. We had these Levitt towns and these subdivisions that are, you know, the suburbs were created.

And so, so much of American society changed in the 50s, from the 50s to the 60s. Then you roll into the abundance of drugs, the sexual revolution, and the idea that kids in college said, you know what, you don't have to be on board with the American government.

Some of that I actually am fully on board with. But it has to be consumed and processed and enacted in a mature way. And that's what didn't happen. You basically had very similar to what we had with like the Occupy Wall Street gang. You know, something's broke here, and our way of dealing with it is the people on the sidewalk and live in a tent.

You know, that doesn't make any sense. And so it was very much an extension of that expression. And I think when those men and women came home in uniform, To the minds of those protesters, mostly children and misguided to be for sure, they were a representative of the government rather than of the towns that they were plucked from during the draft. And I think that that inability to see in front of your face because you're, you know, to have your eyes crossed on it, to see what's right in front of you and not see it, to not understand that those men that were drafted into Vietnam. Were drafted.

They were plucked. They were pulled. They were forced to go. And to somehow blame them for that because they chose to not dishonor their family and their country and run away. Or, you know, what they chose to do was go to Vietnam and risk their life to bring their brothers back home.

And that's what they did. And God bless them for it. You know, the heroics of Vietnam are often overshadowed. I mean, when we tell World War II Medal of Honor stories, we talk about Iwo Jima or Normandy, we don't ever talk about Vietnam that way. Even the awards that were given during that war, we don't exemplify them.

The only true expression of Vietnam is this conversation we're having now. And I think it's a great disservice to the men that fought to save each other and to get each other home.

So well said. Instant New York Times bestseller Johnny Joey Jones on the Brian Kilmeat Show Newsmaker Hotline. How much damage does someone like Jane Fonda, who I still don't think has apologized, riding on that? North Vietnamese tank cavorting with the North Vietnamese enemy. How much damage does that do to the psychology of, remember Vietnam veterans like John McCain, Senator McCain, and thank him for his service, I do, held so harshly, beaten.

The man could never raise his arms above his head, but he would never complain because he would say, at least I have two arms.

Some people didn't come home with arms.

So amazing stuff there. But how much damage does a Jane Fonda do when they can use her for such propaganda that they go to the people they're already torturing, American soldiers, and tell them how much their country hates them and don't support them? How much damage do they do, Joey? I don't know. You know, I never miss an opportunity to say to hell with Jane Fonda.

That's an expression I enjoy saying often. It's true.

Sound good. There are a lot of folks that I would run into a burning building for. I don't know if she's one of them, and I'll just leave it at that. Listen, when you talk about how much damage it does, I like to talk about the other side of it. I mean, there is no single group category of veteran.

that has done better per capita than returning POWs. They have excelled in life coming home from what they went through. And just about every two main studies on this, and just about every measurable outcome that we consider to be successful, whether it be start a family, career, be psychologically stable, not fall into drugs and alcohol, any incarceration, any factor that we would accept as successful or positive, they have done better as a pulled-out group per capita than any other group of veteran. You can dissect by race or age, or no matter what you dissect by or job, POWs have done better. And that still stuns a lot of research, that still stuns a lot of people.

For me, it makes sense. When you are put in such a place of despair, of uncertainty, And maybe because it was one leader, maybe because it was monolithic among them, the choice is made broadly to be stoic. to be positive, to find peace within yourself, to be there for each other. To not look at years from now, but look at the day ahead. How do we get through this?

How do we help each other through it? When you've been brought down to that, And then you're rescued, and then you come home to the land of milk and honey. You have no choice. You have no choice. But to love it, appreciate it, and have an absolute burning desire to live life because you spend an exorbitant amount of time not living life.

Oh, boy. And so. We don't spend enough time talking about that. Those are the people. John McCain has a much greater influence as a POW on this country than Hanoi Jane ever will.

And so we get to choose our perspective, and we have to choose a perspective that exemplifies the good rather than simply complains about the bad. I hate that Jane Fonda did what she did, but you know what? I don't have to care about Jane Fonda. Yeah, I didn't bring her up because it's obligatory. I brought her up because she disgusts me.

Oh, me too. We're going to come right back. I'm really happy to say we're going to do another segment with Johnny Joey Jones, the author of Unbroken Bonds of Battle, a Modern Warriors book of heroism, patriotism, and friendship. And that answer was the best answer I've ever heard on that topic of a POW coming home. They had their freedom taken.

They didn't know if or when they would ever get it back. And then when they got it back, they were overachievers. It makes perfect sense. This is the Brian Killmeat Show. We'll be right back.

Educating, entertaining, enlightening. You're with Brian Kilmead. The more you listen, the more you'll know. It's Brian Killmead. Welcome back to the Brian Kilmead Show with Allison, Pete, and Eric.

My name is Harry filling in today for Brian. On the Brian Kilmead Show Newsmaker Hotline is author. And also Fox News contributor, of course. You see him all the time on the Fox News channel. Johnny Joey Jones, his book, Unbroken Bonds of Battle.

You can read it, you can watch the story. What was this like, Joey, to put this all together? You know, sometimes when you're doing television, you sit and the next person's talking, and you just got all this pent-up things you want to say, and you're waiting to say it, and you just can't wait to say it, and finally get the opportunity, it just all comes pouring out. And that's what it's like writing a book like this.

So much of what's in this book I have lived and thought about and experienced for so long. It just felt really good to get it on paper, to form it, to learn from it, to write it down, go back and read it and learn from it, and to bring in these folks that are so important to me, such as our country. Each one of them, either a military service member or one gold star wife, what they've sacrificed and what they continue to do for their country, Aaron Hill, Nate Boyer, Wesley Hunt, people that are still serving in so many ways. It just really felt great to go to my friends. And these aren't just people that I collected together for a book.

Eight out of the ten, seven out of the ten, lifelong friends I've known for decades. These are people that I have grown up with. And to tell their story, their experiences that I've seen firsthand. And to do it in a way that really exemplifies and amplifies and puts a spotlight on the necessity to be there for each other in each chapter showing how they were there for me. Man, I tell you, I can just go on and on about how proud I am.

Here's another one of these conundrums I have: you have these worthless people with big mouths that have done nothing, contribute nothing, typically don't contribute to charity, have made no real lasting contribution to America, to American society. In your case, you served and you volunteered to serve. You suffered a life-changing injury in Afghanistan. You had to then witness this Afghanistan debacle. I don't know what went through your mind when you saw everything being done backwards, that people were left last, military was taken out first, leave the Taliban back in charge, women lose all their rights, billions of dollars worth of equipment must make you scratch your head and say, you know, what was I there for?

What's going on here? But I've never heard you do that. Type of thing, but how did you handle What happened to you and your love of country and and patriotism is just it's it's so respectable and and beautiful. Uh, how did you deal with all this?

Well, you know. The question why why was I there, I I never asked that question because I know why I was there. I was there to serve my country. I was there 'cause my country asked me to. I was there because there were men and women that were going to have to go no matter what, regardless if I agreed with that decision.

And I'd rather it be me than them. Uh I'd rather somebody I became an EO detect because I'd rather be the one that walked down on the bomb than have have somebody I was standing beside have to do it.

So why was I there? Politically, sure, I live in the world of asking that question. The answer to that question is we all need to ask that question before we do it again. But personally, that question is answered when I open the pages of this book and read about my buddies I was there with. Because every single guy, Amos, Danny, Greg, the first three chapters, those are guys that if I hadn't have gone and done what I did, they might have had to go do it at that time for me.

And I don't know what would have happened to them.

So I at least took some of that pressure off of their lives and our fr in our our mutual friends' lives. I'm very proud of that fact and I have no regrets whatsoever. Sacrifice is necessary. to get through this life and I don't I don't um regret having sacrificed in any way for this country or the people around me. Joey, what was it like to tell the stories of these warriors?

Yeah, it's humbling, beyond humbling. You know, I can go on a show here on Fox and reach three million people or three million homes, and that's that's insane to me. It blows my mind. It's very humbling. But to sit next to the men I just named have a group of people five hundred strong in Destin, Florida come in to have their books signed.

Not to take a picture with Fox News guy Joey Jones, but to have their books signed by Joey. And by Amos and by Danny, and to tell each of us how important this book has been in their lives, to have a Vietnam veteran come up, a tear in his eye, and say, Thanks for helping make some of this make sense that I've lived with for four or five decades. There's no more humbling inexperience than to see my buddies. I get a lot of pats on the back. I'm a peacock, man.

I let my feathers shine. You know, I'm on TV. I lost modesty when I started wearing makeup to go to work, right? But humility is different. And to be humble in a way that says my first book is not going to be just about me and to provide that opportunity for my friends that I care so much about, man, that nothing has been more fulfilling other than being a father.

Joey, two-minute reel. That's beautiful, by the way. Two-minute drill and This question just It begs to, in fact, we're down to a minute. Begs to be asked. You said how this was just waiting to come out of you.

That doesn't necessarily mean it was easy to write. Was this hard to write? Did it come easy? Talk about that less in a minute. Yeah, one of the themes that came out in the book, I've talked a lot about my dad that passed away in my arms in 2019.

And I just realized how important he was to me and how important the lessons he taught me were to appreciating these friends and how seeing some of those same lessons in them reassured it to me. Joey, thank you for your service and continued success. You're awesome. Thank you. Honor to interview you today.

Thank you so much. You're welcome. Author Johnny Joey Jones, giving you the whole name, instant New York Times bestseller, Unbroken Bonds of Battle. Don't just buy it and put it on your bookshelf. Buy it and read it and share it.

It's a great story about warrior heroes. We'll be back. Don't go away. This is the Brian Kilmeat Show. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show.

Brian Kilmead. This is the Brian Kilmead Show with Allison Pete and Eric. My name is Harry Hurley, filling you in today. Four Brian, who as you know is on the Mount Rushmore. of talk radio hosts in America today.

Coming in at number three, up from number four a year ago, making steady uh Herculean progress. on the Talkers Magazine list of the Top 100 most important talk radio hosts in America. And again, Brian sits at lofty number three, which puts him on my Mount Rushmore of talk radio hosts and talk radio programs in America. Your Fox and Friends co-host, One Nation with Brian Kilmead host. Two websites to stay close to Brian, BrianKilmead.com and the BrianKilmead Show.com.

The best-selling New York Times author and available right now for pre-order. I'm in on it already. Teddy. and Booker T. I cannot wait for that to arrive.

Brian, I've said to him, and I've said it behind his back, he's America's historian right now. And I'm very, very pleased to report that I think I did a Neil Cavuto. I said very twice. I think that's Freudian. I really do believe that.

Madison Allworth from the Fox Business Channel joins this correspondent extraordinaire based in New York City, and we've got a lot to talk about. Madison, I did a Neil Cavuto on you. I said very, very. Yes, I noticed that. I'm hoping for a little bit of, you had so many wonderful things to say about Brian.

Anything else you want to add in about me?

Well, you're terrific. You do a great job. Thank you. And you're obviously on the Brian Kilmy Show Newsmaker hotline, so you know what Brian and Allison and the whole team thinks of you. And I'll tell you what, we have this in common.

We've both been following these wind turbines. And what I always marvel at, Madison, is the fact that, oh, oh, they were going to have them in those lofty, beautiful, the beautiful people where they live. Oh, no, no, we don't want them here. You can't have them here, but we'll go litter, for example, the entire New Jersey coast with 1,000 feet tall monstrosities that they still don't know what the heck they're going to do. What are your thoughts about all this?

For example, the Middletown issue, the wind turbines. And we have them, they're going to be right off the coast of my hometown near Atlantic City. What are your thoughts? Yes.

So I mean, there's so many different issues at play here. What we've been focusing on today is the potential for national security interruption, which should really get everyone's attention. We've been in Middletown all morning here, just outside of one of the largest naval ammunition bases and got to speak to Representative Chris Smith from New Jersey. He had a bill pass on Thursday through the House of Representatives. What this bill does would require the President to sign off on have the final signature on any offshore wind projects, assuring that they do not interfere with military radar and sonar capabilities.

Don't you find it incredible that they actually the race to do this is so ridiculous? Usually, you would have state DEPs, the federal EPA, they'd be finding ways to find a tree frog or some reason to shut down your project. The speed at which this is going is breathtaking. It really is. The speed is incredible, and it's every week there's new developments.

The same day that Representative Smith's bill passed the House of Representatives, was the day that the Biden administration announced the first sale of a leased land in the Gulf of Mexico for offshore wind.

So And then in this fall, that project off of the coast of Atlantic City will begin construction officially. That'll be the third offshore wind project that will be constructed. But there's many, many more that have been leased. It's just the the rate at which this land, this land, this ocean land is made available and how quickly it is. Turned, it's a breakneck fast.

And yeah, all the different those that are in opposition, whether it be from Marine life concern, military concern. Everyone's saying, prove to us that this is safe. Prove to us that the whales are not dying because of the offshore wind. Prove to us that our military will be able to protect our border. You think about the coast of New York, New Jersey, and all the infrastructure and the population, the access.

If adversaries can use this offshore wind as a way to sneak in That should be a huge concern to everyone. And what they say is, why are we doing it so quickly? You need to ensure that we are safe. And that we're not going green for the sake of going green and not looking at all these other factors. And usually the going green is a very dirty process, and they just say they're going green.

And who knows? Who knows what this will do, as you mentioned, to the marine life? You're going to have all of this noise. These mammals operate similarly to what you're talking about with the military by sonar and their ability to actually not get confused by sounds that they're not familiar with. There's a reason why, for the first time in our lifetime, Madison, you have never, I have never, ever witnessed this many dead whales, this many dead dolphins.

We have never witnessed anything like it. It's true.

The numbers are astonishing. I mean, there's if you've ever seen the visual of a beached whale, it's a very disturbing image. It's such a huge, majestic animal. And I think the concern that wildlife advocates have, that really maybe everyone should have, Faz. Why are these wheels dying?

Right. And so we saw a tick up start in the 2015-2016 time, which coincidentally is also when the surveying work for this offshore wind, which is done by radar and sonar, when that all started. And essentially, a deaf whale, if their eardrums are disrupted, if they're If their ability to communicate and hear is disrupted, a deaf whale is a dead whale. And so, you know, there's a lot of people out there that are saying most likely this work. I think the challenges.

When you do the necropsies, a lot of people want a more thorough necropsy that is an autopsy of a defeast animal. They want more information as to exactly what's happening. If it is a ship strike, why all of a sudden are these whales and other marine life? Dying from ships. Ships are not new, cargo ships are not new.

There's a narrative out there that there's maybe more cargo ships in the water because of the pandemic buying and how much stuff we were buying at home. But if you track ship traffic, there's not more cargo ships. They are getting larger, but it doesn't seem to account for it. But I think the big thing that I keep hearing, whether I'm looking at the military aspect, the mammal aspect, whatever it is, People want more answers. And it gets back to your speed point.

This is happening really quickly. And then once these things go in, these. 1,000 foot tall, you know, and along New York, New Jersey, we're going to have 3,400 of these things. Once they go in. The damage is done.

it's harder to get them out. It's harder to mitigate problems. If we can do the research now and you can prove this is safe and this is good and this will be energy that is clean and it's not harming our ecosystem, I think a lot of these people would be interested. I think the concern is that we're going so quick and we have so few answers. Great, great comment.

Madison Allworth from the Fox Business Channel. For folks that took time to watch the British Open, you actually could get a look at what this is going to look like here in our country. They're hideous. In my estimation, they're aesthetically ugly. They steal the beauty of looking out at the beach and the ocean.

They will be visible, not all, but many of them, the ones that are closer, will be visible. They look terrible. They're a thousand feet high, like the Empire State Building. We don't know how they, I don't even think they know exactly how they're even going to construct them in the conditions that they have. And of course, they only make power when there's wind.

There's just so many reasons. And you mentioned so many important things like the military and sonar and radar. And if we throw false flags, I mean, my goodness, what can happen? I'm also mindful of the fact that Martha. Vineyard could have had them, but they have so much clout, so much money, so much power.

They got it stopped in a country second.

So, why didn't they want them? Uh so they're aesthetically garbage. Uh nobody seems to care. How about just birds, Madison? We we see in California.

Nobody wants to talk about it because they're they're so proud of themselves for being able to say how green they are, but birds get demolished by these turbines. Yeah, the the juxtaposition of um the push for green energy and then the simultaneous um interruption and disruption of nature. It doesn't really add up. It is a confusing narrative to follow: the push for green with the simultaneous destruction of green, whether it be bird or ocean infrastructure. navigation patterns, fish navigation patterns.

Um yeah, they don't they don't line up. And I will say that I'm not going to call them all out by name, but it does seem like a lot of the groups that would normally be very, very boisterous and loud opposing this and urging for there to at least be more study. You know, my Congressman Van Drew and others that have been on top of this in New Jersey, Senators Paulistina and Testa and others, they are saying basically, like, we're not telling you you can't ever do it, but let's just slow this down a moment and let's see if there's something here that would keep us in the end from not wanting to do this. But they don't want to wait. For anything adverse, they want to rush, rush, rush.

And they're too late. They're all built. Here they are. Oh, it's going to do this and that. It might mess up sonar and radar and hurt the military and hurt the wildlife.

Too bad now. We've got to go with it now. We've got it.

So I think groups. have been paid off. that would normally be I remember a group that went bananas over a natural gas line pipeline that was going to be off of a major highway. No one would ever have seen it. Clean as it gets, natural gas as opposed to transporting bottles of propane and things like that.

They couldn't fight that enough. to stop it. But here it's all systems go. Very suspicious. Yeah, I think that you keep getting to that point, which is so important.

I think it's the speed. And when you look at coastal communities, before coming to Fox Business, I reported in Tampa and Florida, and I'm from New Jersey and I live in New York. When you're on the coast, I find a lot of people care immensely about the environment and would also advocate for green energy because a way to preserve Our natural infrastructure and our natural beauty. But those same people are saying, we want answers before this happens. And I think that's the biggest thing, the speed at which this is happening with the lack of conviction.

You talk to Bohm, the Office of Energy Oce Ocean Energy Management, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. And a lot of their answers, if you hear them testify, is We'll get back to you. We're not sure. We're looking into it.

Well, we can't be looking into it as it's happening. It needs to happen before these giant. wind farms are set up. And I think that's a thing that you hear no matter what group you talk to, that is a consistent complaint. Two-minute drill with Madison Allworth from the Fox Business Channel, and you take New Jersey, for example, the DEP.

They raced to provide public cover that there's no negative effects. How could they possibly know that at this juncture? Right, it's just too soon. And I think a lot of people in New Jersey are a little frustrated, they feel that. A lot of this movement happened during the pandemic when people were at home, and in terms of Government transparency, things were conducted over Zoom, or sessions that maybe would have been open to public were not because of the pandemic.

So I think there's a lot of frustration there. It feels like a opportunistic. And shouldn't we also, Madison, in the final minute, I want to turn it over to you on what I think is a really important point. Right now, it's New Jersey, and they're going to debase. our beautiful coastline.

But everybody listening all over America, you know, this country is mostly water. They're coming for you as well. The speed at which they are going after this, they're not going to be satisfied with one or a handful of behemoth projects. They're going to take the show on the road, Madison. Oh, yeah, I mean, the expansion of wind energy, you know, I have been focusing mostly on offshore because of the mammal and military concerns.

But yes, the development of wind energy land included is definitely a priority. And it's set up so that there are tax incentives and there's a lot of infrastructure set up there to further promote that move.

So, yes, it's not just wind, offshore winds, it's also land wind. And we see it mostly on the East Coast because of the way that our ocean bed is set up here. The West Coast drops off too quickly, so it's a bit too deep. That's why you do see so many lease sales for offshore wind, New York, New Jersey, Virginia. But I think, as I mentioned at the top of this report, it's expanding beyond that because just last Thursday, the same day that Representative Smith's bill passed the House of Representatives, is the same day that the Biden administration announced the first sale of lease land for offshore wind in the Gulf of Mexico.

So it's continuing past the East Coast as well. And there'll be more. Coastal communities around the country at some point. This is their beginning, it's not their end. Yeah, and then I think that's why it's so important, the military aspect that impacts obviously all of us.

if if we have our East Coast border essentially with blind spots, That adversaries can use to their advantage. That is a concern to anyone in this country. And they will. You know it too well. Madison Allworth, great to visit with you.

Harry, thank you so much for having me. Pleasure. And I'll tell you, that's the first in-depth. Conversation that I've heard anywhere about the military aspect. You hear a lot of people talking about aesthetics.

about the the uh the mammals and the birds and and and any type of um nature that will be disrupted uh and injured and worse by this. But this is this is at an all just Heightened different level when you're talking about if the military, if we lose the capacity, the capability. in terms of sonar and radar, and we have blind spots? This is very, very serious. And, Madison, I'm so glad that you're on it.

We'll be right back. This is the Brian Killmead Show. Giving you everything you need to know. You're with Brian Kilmead. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it.

You're with Brian Kilmead. Welcome back to the Brian Kilmead Show with Allison Pete and Eric. Harry Hurley filling in today for Brian, who has the day off.

Well earned, by the way.

So, some interesting news on the polling front. And you know about polls. If you're winning, it's out the polls. If you're not, you blame the poll. And attorneys that have the facts pound the facts.

Attorneys that don't have the facts pound the table. But look, it's early, and it's all we have.

So let's opine about it. Fox business poll. And I'm always a big fan of the Fox methodology. I always find it to be fair. And I've gone into the tabulars and seen how they do what they do.

They always have a representative margin of error. And they do a good job. Before we cite... Two very recent Fox business polls. for the states of Iowa and South Carolina.

Let's sort of take a listen to that. It's kind of the Sort of the breakdown of what I was saying about how if you're winning in the polls, you tout the polls, and if you're not, you've got to explain it. And there's an expression when you're explaining, you're losing. Here is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis explaining on Fox and Friends last week on his polling. That has not been very good.

Cut nine, Eric. What about the polls? Real clear politics. That's the average. You're 33.4 points behind Trump.

So how do you overcome that wide lead?

Well, again, we're doing state by state. I think even people that cite those acknowledge in the early states, it's much closer.

So where we are in Iowa, I wouldn't trade places with any other candidate in Iowa. I think that we're on the path to be able to win Iowa.

So that's what we're focused on. We're not chasing national polls. We're really focusing on accumulating the delegates.

Well, that was inconvenient because the Fox business poll is Iowa, and it has President Trump at 46%, Governor DeSantis at 16.

So that's 30 points, and you should care about that. And that speaks to exactly what he was talking about. That's the very state that he said he wouldn't want to be anyone else. That's just crazy talk because Trump has led Iowa throughout, and his lead has expanded. In South Carolina, President Trump leads two who hail from South Carolina: Nikki Haley and Tim Scott by a whole bunch.

President Trump at 48%, Nikki Haley at 14%, Governor DeSantis at 13, and Tim Scott at 10%. And that's in South Carolina. And the National Harvard poll, even worse news for anyone not named Trump on the Republican side, and Trump versus Biden in the general. It's the Brian Kilmeet Show. Radio that makes you think.

This is the Brian Kill Me Show. I got up last year. I want to thank everybody for making this night necessary. I don't know. It just came out that way.

You know a lot of people try to say yogi. I don't even know I saved myself. I really don't. The best one I think too is that When it comes to the fork of the road, take it. And we have.

I go out road And Montclair, if you go to the fort, you go on Highland Avenue where I live, either one take you on Highland Avenue. That's how I got that. It ain't over until it's over. I did it with the Mets. They just come out.

No, I don't know, I say 'em. I love it. This is the Brian Killmead Show with Alice and Pete and Eric and. Brian will back me up on this, so will Alice and Pete and Eric. I am a lifelong Yankees fan.

Huge Yankees fan. Lindsay doesn't know this, and she's on our Brian Kilmead show Newsmaker Hotline right now. Lindsay Bearer, who I refer to as the keeper of the Yogi Berra torch, the producer of the documentary film, Yogi's granddaughter and the documentary Is it ain't over? What other name could it possibly be?

Now, Lindsay, I want to share with you very, very briefly, but this is something I'll never forget. I had the privilege to be the senior hotel executive for one of President Trump's properties in Atlantic City. In 1991, May of 1991, I met and greeted the entire living 1961 team members who all had two amazing days at our hotel. I met your grandfather, who was one of the most beautiful people, kind, humble that you'll ever meet. But you already know all that.

I mean, modest as can be.

So I'm in the midst. I'm geeking out like I can't believe. I was 30 years old at the time, and this is the 1961 Yankee team, that special team, which, of course, Yogi was a big part of. Here in our hotel in Atlantic City for two days in May of 1991 at the 30-year anniversary of the 1961 team.

So I had the opportunity, Lindsay, to spend some real quality time. I would say over the course of two days, it had to be a couple of hours with your grandfather. And I know you'll agree that he was everything that I just described. No, absolutely. He was amazing.

First of all, thanks for having me on. And second, thanks for sharing that. That team was super fun. And obviously, getting to see Grandpa in his element with Mickey and Roger and all of his buddies, that was certainly probably a special experience, I know, just from being a fly on a wall at so many dinners and stuff with them over the years. They were a hoot to be around.

It was incredible. And I think the modesty factor of your grandfather, I will not say that it overshadows his greatness. I refuse to utter those words. But because he was so modest, I think, Lindsay, there are a lot of people that don't realize how many World Series rings he had on every finger. His stats were incredible.

And then you really have to give it to him, his offense, when you consider the beating that the catcher position takes on a daily basis. I'm reminded by my teammates about this amazing. 1950 season that I've heard you in other interviews with Brian and others speak about. How does an elite player? Strike out only twelve times in an entire season.

That I don't even think anyone's ever come close to that. No, and while hitting 322 and 28 home runs and catching 120 games, it's absolutely incredible. I think it's funny. Yes, Grandpa was an incredibly modest, humble person. Right.

I I think the stats should speak for themselves. I think his problem is more of one of like a recency bias where people remember everybody wants to tell you everybody on the Internet wants to tell me that Johnny Bench is the greatest catcher of all time. And I love Johnny Bench, I do. And I just think he's in people's heads because he caught in the seventies and it's twenty years You know, closer to now than Grandpa playing. But I think if you really look at the stats, I mean, Grandpa was just absolutely incredible, and you really can't argue with 10 World Series rings.

Oh, no, no, that's why he had one for the thumb, each thumb. 10. I mean, we tell all the kids at the Yogi Barra Museum, though, you know how Grandpa's wearing the 10 rings all at one time on the movie poster? We always tell all the kids he didn't really wear them all at once because that would be tacky. See, it's so modest.

And we're very proud, Lindsay, that the Yogi Barrel Museum is in New Jersey. Yes, it's great. It's a great place. Very, very proud. In terms of this project, and I want to give Brian's listeners a little listen to one of my favorites of all time from the announcing perspective, and that is the great Vin Scully Eric Cut27.

We lost a gem. Lawrence Yogi Berra from the Hill as they call that Italian area in St. Louis. I was asked today and it made me think about him, what is his legacy? And the legacy of Yogi Berra, I believe, as long as people talk about the game.

Whenever they mention the name Yogi Berra, they will smile because he was that kind of a human being. Yogi Berra, one of the sweetest men and one of the great players, overshadowed by some of the great names in Yankee history like Babe Ruth and Mickey Mandel, Luke Gehrig. But for instance, you know he hit only three home runs less than Joe DiMaggio. How about that? Lindsay, I think what Vin Scully just said is also a reason why, not just intergenerationally and the big red machine and all of that, but the teams that Yogi played on.

With these, and he's one of them, with these other icons. I think some people tip. I don't. There's no, and I'm not saying this because I'm interviewing you, his granddaughter. I would put Yogi as the great, he's the goat, the greatest of all time, and better than Bench.

But I know why some people default to Johnny Bench. It's just easy to do for a lot of reasons. And the media was much more prevalent in the 70s. Not that there wasn't very aggressive, you know, there was very aggressive media back then as well. But I think that was part of it.

I don't know if you agree with that. No, I do. And I think that when you're looking at the persona of the folks that they just mentioned, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Babe Ruth, Gehrig, I mean, there was like this aura of like, you know, there's a mystique around those Yankees. And Grandpa shows up, and we talk about it a lot in the movie. People said he was too ugly to be a Yankee.

He looked like a fire hydrant, a gargoyle, a Neanderthal. I mean, too ugly to be a Yankee. I don't even know what that means, right?

So maybe he didn't fit this mold that people wanted him to fit into. But on the field, you know, he was playing with those guys, but he led that team in RBI seven years in a row with Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle on the field.

So, I mean, he knew what he was doing when it came down to the actual playing of the baseball game, and he ends up winning more than all of them. And again, these guys were great friends of grandpa's. When we're making this movie, we're not trying to downplay any of their accomplishments, just point out just how good Grandpa was and how much he does belong in the conversation. As one of the greatest catchers, greatest players of all time. I'll tell you, I love that you are doing what you're doing.

Lindsey Berra, Yogi Berra, the Yankee great, number eight. His number was so special, they retired it twice on the same day. Bill Dickey. Yeah, I know. You can tell I'm a big Yankee fan.

I just decided to say it the way I said it. Lindsey Berra is the executive producer of the film and Yogi's granddaughter. And you had a lot of cooperation, including some of my favorite Yankees of all time. This was a thrill for me. I got to meet Joe Torrey, my favorite manager, and by the way, a heck of a player and a heck of a hitter in his right.

Derek Jeter, shortstop, GOAT, Don Mattingly, Mariano Rivera, only unanimous Hall of Fame recipient. That includes names like Babe Ruth and others. No one ever got in with every vote. Willie Randolph, Bobby Richardson, Tony Kubak. By the way, Bobby Richardson, Tony Kubak, they were all at the 61.

One Yankee Reunion that we were talking about.

So you had a lot of cooperation with your film, didn't you? We had a tremendous amount of cooperation. And for me, right off the get-go, it was super important to get as many people as possible who had either played with or seen Grandpa play.

So, Bobby Richardson, Tony Kubeck, Hector Lopez, Vin Scully, they were way at the top of the list. I wanted to get them first. I wanted Audrey Garagiola, the widow of his best friend Joe. I wanted Roger Angel from the New Yorker, who had been covering baseball in New York since he got out of the service in 1946, and he was 100 when we interviewed him.

So, I just wanted as many people as possible who could speak to what a great athlete Grandpa was, what he looked like on the field, and How he was able to impact and lift those around him on his team. And that was all very important to me. But then we went on to those younger guys, you know, Guidry, and you mentioned Jeter and Randolph and Nick Swisher and all these people that he served as a mentor for later on in his life who were able to learn something from Grandpa. We just wanted kind of representative of all parts of Grandpa's life and career, just as many folks as possible who could talk about what he was like. You were so smart to go get Vin Scully and what you did.

Because if you had just said, hey, you know what? We'll do this, we'll do that, we'll do this, and we'll get to Vin Scully, and you waited until August of 2022, that'd be that. No, no, no. That was the very first interview we did when we started shooting. He was the first person.

How did COVID-19 hurt your production? It couldn't have helped. Oh my god, I do not recommend making I had I'm not a filmmaker, I'm just a kid who loves her grandpa and wants people to remember him.

So I had never made a movie before. Making a movie independently is very hard. Making a movie independently with a 14-month stoppage for a pandemic in the middle of it is really, really hard. I don't recommend it. But the positives of the pandemic for us were that it gave us more time for our wonderful editor Julian Robinson to dig through more and more and more archival footage.

And some of the stuff that he found, he never would have found if he hadn't had the time that the pandemic gave him.

So there's some really great stuff in the movie. There's footage of my grandparents' wedding that I had never seen before. I don't know where Julian found half of this stuff.

So that was a blessing of the pandemic. And just that it really gave us time to kind of get things right and organize rights for the music. It was difficult to get the rights to It Ain't Over, the Lenny Kravitz song, which is in our credits. And if you watch the movie, the credits are wonderful. Everybody really recommends sitting through the credits.

We really like kind of filled them up Marvel style because we had all this extra good stuff that we wanted to put in there. But anyway, yeah, the pandemic gave us a little bit more time to sort out music and really put the finishing touches on the project. Lindsay Barra, executive producer of the Yogi Barra. Documentary, the film It Ain't Over about Lawrence Peter Yogi Berra. What you don't hear a lot about is that Yogi enlisted into the military, enlisted into the Navy.

You know, you hear over the years, oh, Ted Williams lost five years of his career during World War II, Flyer, and all this, and I honor that service. You don't hear a lot about Yogi being on the beach during D-Day at Normandy, which, as you know, Lindsay, took a lot of people out that day. Yeah, it was before his baseball career, which is, I think, why a lot of people don't mention it. And it's actually, Grandpa used to tell a story about how when he first met Bob Feller, Bob Feller wouldn't talk to him. And somebody said something about it, and Bob was like, Well, he didn't serve his country.

And Grandpa was like, What are you talking about? I was at Normandy, and it kind of changed everything, but because Grandpa didn't run around kind of mentioning that he was on a rocket boat, right? But you're right, he volunteered before he had a chance to be drafted. He was playing for the Norfolk Tars in the Piedmont League down there in Virginia, and he literally just walked up the street to the naval base and said, Here I am. What do you want me to do?

And only my Grandpa Yogi could be bored in basic training, so he volunteered for what at the time was a secret mission, and he ends up training for the rocket boats for the invasion of Normandy. He was on an LCSS, Landing Craft Support Small, and he was a machine gunner providing cover fire for our troops going ashore. And, you know, uh, when you think about perspective, I I talk a lot about this. My grandfather's known as one of the greatest clutch histor hitters in the history of baseball. And I think that those Days during the D-Day invasion really gave him some perspective.

When you've seen a real life or death situation, when you get up with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, you know that that's not actually life or death, and clearer heads prevail, and you're able to go out there and do your job and hit the ball. And I think he just approached every day of his life with such a profound sense of gratitude. He knew he got the chance to come home from World War II when so many other men did not. And he ends up playing a kid's game for a living. And how can you not but have fun knowing what you went through to get there?

So I think that really that experience in the war gave him a lot of perspective that he carried throughout his life. Lindsay, was Yogi Berra also known for not that he didn't swing at good pitches, but he, I think he was known as a prolific pitcher. I know. But it's a compliment, and I really mean this because I want to say he swung at good pitches, but he was a prolific bad ball hitter, wasn't he? He was.

He said they all looked good to him, which I also think is a commentary on how he saw the world. He was very able to make, you know, lemonade out of lemons. But he just used to say if he could see it, he could hit it. He had such a tremendous hand-eye coordination. He had this huge, like, meat hook hands.

He was super strong. He was very able to control the barrel of the bat through the strike zone, and in a lot of cases, out of the strike zone. He had no problem poking a ball the other way, going with the pitch. And it was just, you know, making contact. He loved hitting.

Making contact was important to him. Swinging through a ball was no fun.

So, like you said, he always said if he could see it, he could hit it. And he saw them all. And what he was able to do, driving balls opposite field, hitting pitches out of the strike zone for home runs, is pretty incredible. There's actually my dad and I and my uncles, we've all been stopped on numerous occasions by people who say they saw grandpa hit home runs on balls that bounced in front of the plate. Can't find any proof of it, but I also don't.

Not believe it.

So I'm going to go with the ladder. I'm going with the ladder because you're Lindsay Barra. About 45 seconds to a hard break. Sure. Do you have a favorite yogiism?

My favorite ones are the existential ones. If the world were perfect, it wouldn't be the future ain't what it used to be. But all the yogiisms are super, super practical. And if you can get past the initial silliness, they're really applicable to everyday life. I do, before your heart break, just want to tell people you can watch It Ain't Over Grandpa's documentary on Amazon Prime, on Apple TV, on demand through your cable providers.

It's still in a few theaters around the country, but definitely available to watch at home on demand. And I hope everybody gives it a watch and enjoys it. I've watched it. It's amazing. Like a real quick response to this.

What kind of thrill was this for you to be able to do this for your grandfather? Oh, I just honestly, I just wish we'd been able to do it when he was alive, but it's super important for me for people to remember who he was and just that as great as he was as a baseball player, he was an even better human being. And I think that's so important to give people role models like that to look up to. Lindsay Barra, executive producer of the film It Ain't Over from Sony Pictures Classics.

Now, remember. Kernel. Bin Min had to be believed.

So Nancy Pelosi was in a little bit of a sticky wicket. When she was asked about the whistleblowers, the IRS whistleblowers. Eric, let's take a listen. Cut six. What a ridiculous.

Clown show. I have res respect for whistleblowers, but the fact is that from the basis of that hearing, there They didn't even have a fair shot at what they came to say in light of the clown chill. I'm not confident about what the whistleblower said. Just awful, and she was awful. Awful speaker twice.

Amazing how we repeat the same mistake. Terrible once, terrible twice. That answer was ridiculous. The clown show was her fellow Democrats. The IRS whistleblowers had credibility just.

On Steroys Times Infinity, they were that good. And they had facts, not lies. This is the Brian Kilmey Show. Listen to the show ad-free on Fox News Podcast Plus, on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music with your Prime membership, or subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Mm.
