Biden Faces Inquiry and Cries That He’s Too Old

From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the latest minutes of the Brian Kill Me Show.

So glad you're here. Douglas Murray coming up at the bottom of the hour. Brett Baer is standing by. And of course, 1866-408-7669. Brett's got a book ready to get out.

Also, good news for him. I see it everywhere. And we also have some good news for everybody in Pennsylvania. They got that escape killer who got out of prison and they just got him. It took weeks, but they finally got him.

You saw him do that crab walk up the wall and he got out.

Well, they finally lassoed him in a very wooded area full of cornfields and trees.

So let's get to the big three.

Now with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three, number three. I'm not sleeping at night thinking all is well, okay? I have nieces and nephews who say, well, why should I vote for this guy? He's a little old. I said, your papa was old too.

And look what he did to help you. I'm not sure that's a good explanation, but it shows legitimate concern, pressure building for bungling Biden not to run.

Now it comes from the Washington Post. We'll discuss. Number two. Do you believe you have the right to use that money in any way that you see fit? The Islamic Republic of Iran will decide to spend it wherever we need it.

Really? That's not the deal I thought we had. North Korea's tubby tyrant trains into Siberia to lend weapons to Russia. Iran gets 6 billion funds unfrozen by the U.S. and then snubs Joe Biden's deal.

And by the way, China snubs the President of the United States and the rest of the world in the G20. What's going on with this foreign policy now? Number one. I do not make this decision lightly. And regardless of your party or who you voted for, these facts should concern all Americans.

The American people deserve to know that the public offices are not for sale.

Well, there you go. We're doing it again. Impeachment. Inquiry, that is. It's a final attempt to unwind the unsavory business activities of the Biden family.

Let's see what changes. Let's bring in Brett Baer. Brett's the chief political anchor for Fox News, author of the brand new book about to come out October 10th, to rescue the Constitution, George Washington, and the Fragile American Experiment. Hey, Brett, what changes now that we have an inquiry without a House vote? Yeah, I I think that it changes the subpoena power.

It changes the uh Focus. But, you know, it's still an inquiry, which was happening in Chairman Comer's committee. It just has that I word in front of it, and that becomes. you know, a political football. You know, I see Andy McCarthy said it really only changes the title.

The committees still do the same thing. They might have some power because it says impeachment inquiry, but without the vote from the House, it doesn't seem that they have the votes. It would be too much of a risk to do it.

So this might be their only option right now. That's right. And listen, remember that Nancy Pelosi didn't do the vote thing either. She moved forward with impeachment. uh without taking the impeachment vote uh to launch it.

So I think that um You know, listen, Kevin McCarthy has a number of things going. Let's start with there is there there. There are elements of this story that have developed and evolved that have shown more things to find out. And the money trail is not done they're not done hunting, number one. Number two, you have whistleblowers whose testimony seems to be holding up every time we get new information.

Number three, though, is that it's also political in that Kevin McCarthy needs to get spending done, needs to get avoid a government shutdown if he can. And this may mollify some of those folks. who are pushing for that.

So the White House responded, Ian Sams, cut seven. There is no evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden because President Biden didn't do anything wrong. And the purpose of what they're doing is a politically motivated, far-right, extreme series of attacks on the President and his family that are not rooted in the truth. Whatever you listen, you can get to the thing, find the criminality. What are you going to charge him with?

Maybe it is obstruction of whistleblowers who are because of the or government officials trying to investigate this. Maybe that's what the road to go down. But you can't say there's nothing wrong. You don't put your son, who's at a Ukrainian business being paid by Burizma on a private email to tell them what you're doing with Ukraine as Vice President. You don't go to dinner and apparently just talk about the weather for an hour with Burizma officials.

That's not You can't say that that's not wrong. I hear you.

So listen to this, Brad. You talk about wrong. A draft letter. From Ian Sam, who you just heard from, two media outlets obtained by CNN. Quote, it's time for the media to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans for opening up an impeachment inquiry.

Covering impeachment is a process story. Republicans say X, but the White House says Y. It's a disservice to the American public who relies on an independent press to hold those in power accountable. He's calling out the press and giving them a call to action. Did you get that letter?

I didn't, fortunately. I mean, our request for an interview is still pending, and it has been since. Candidate Biden won South Carolina in the primary, really every week we've asked. But Listen, when you have David Ignatius of The Washington Post writing an op ed that is primary in The Washington Post saying President Biden should not run in twenty twenty four, it might not be the time to the press saying you've got our back. Yeah, Dave Ignatius says you did a great thing, right guy at the right time, but you and Harris should step aside.

You only have two months for a primary process to get underway, and that to me is noteworthy. The other thing that is noteworthy to me is this Iran deal. On September 11th, when we know that they've played a positive role with al-Qaeda, even though it's Shia and Sunni, they came together in a hatred of us.

So we're told, farcically, that this $6 billion, which is there, held in South Korea, will be held in Qatar and only used for humanitarian purposes. That's part of the deal. Listen to the Iranian president. Cut 20. Do you believe you have the right to use that money in any way that you see fit?

This money belongs to the Islamic Republic of Iran, and naturally we will decide, the Islamic Republic of Iran will decide to spend it wherever we need it. Oops, John Kirby was asked about this, CUD 21. We're going to get five people back. Five Americans that will be able to come home, be with their families where they belong, and get them out of that evil Evan prison. That's the main goal here.

And sometimes when you're going for that, and Americans need to know that we're going to continue to look out for them over there. But here's a direct response to what the Iranian president said, Cut 22. I want to go back on what Matt Miller at the State Department said. It's not just $6 billion that Iranians are just going to be able to write checks to whenever they want. Matt was right.

They can only use this money for humanitarian purposes, and we will have the ability to stop transactions if we don't think they're going in the right direction.

Well, the President of Iran said, you just heard him. He said, we'll use that money however we want. Yeah, he's wrong. I mean, I don't know how else to put it. He's just wrong.

That's not the way the deal is. How can you do this deal? when they fundamentally don't just don't agree. Who's going to win? the Iran President or the NSC spokesperson?

I Who's going to be the person that makes the decision on the money? Great point. Cutter. Cutter's got the account. And Qatar has a loyalty to Iran.

I agree with you. It's fishy. It is great always to get Americans out of horrible situations and to get Americans home. But we as a country have never or tried to not publicly pay ransom for people because it encourages more activity like that. No kidding.

Brett, have you picked your panel yet? I am in the process of picking the panel. I've got some moving pieces, but I guarantee you it will be the fair balance and I'm afraid. Do you just get in there and they give put headshots on your desk? And you just take a look and you imagine them with you.

Believe it or not, I choose them a month in advance. Oh, yeah. And sometimes they have other things that are going on. Gotcha. I'm excited about your book.

I'm excited about it. Yeah, October 10th. I was just down at Mount Vernon taping some stuff for an hour special that we'll do. It's really fun. I think that this book about the founding and the forming of our country is really important at this time, and hopefully it's readable like the other ones.

To the rescue, to rescue the Constitution, George Washington, and the fragile American experiment. Go get them, Brett. Thanks so much. Thanks. Back in a moment.

Coming to you on a need-to-know basis, because Mandy, you need to know. 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 Killmead. Despite these serious allegations, It appears that the president's family has been offered special treatment by Biden's own administration. treatment that not otherwise would have received.

but they were not remated to the present. These are allegations of abuse of power. Obstruction. and corruption. and they warrant further investigation.

by the House of Representatives. That's why today I am directing our House committee. to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. This logical next step will give our committees the full power to gather all the facts. and answers for the American public.

So every Democrat's upset by this, but just think about this. Let's talk about some of the evidence that he's discussing. All right. First he told us it's it's not my son's laptop. Classic Russian disinformation.

When Donald Trump put Rudy Giuliani to go through Ukraine, don't think it was a wise move because it looks like he's investigating a political opponent. I don't want to go through that again, but there were some legitimate issues about him firing the prosecutor, about some investments, about what was Hunter doing on the board he knew nothing about? Does he speak Ukrainian? First off, a timeline of events. Remember, the big guy, labeled an unspecified Chinese deal.

We're told by James Gillar as well as Tony Bobolinski that the big guy, 10% of the big guy, is Joe Biden. The whistleblowers that came forward. Gary Shapley talked about how they were told not to investigate the president's family. The Justice Department was tipped off before they could go into a garage that had additional information as they tried to find out about taxes and money earned. Tony Bobolinski came forward even before the election.

What about Hunter's What's App message, twenty seventeen? Quote, I am sitting here with my father trying to think who his father is. Oh, that's right, Joe Biden. And we sh would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. He is yelling in words in a What's App message to an executive in the energy company in China who's affiliated with the government.

What are you doing? You're Vice President of the United States. Are you sitting next to your son?

So, what Shapley said they wanted to geolocate the president and find vice president, find out if he was there. He told him, don't do it. What about the shocking voicemail? Joe to Hunter after the New York Times article. Hey pal, it's dad.

It's Wednesday. If you get a chance, just give me a call. Nothing urgent. I just wanted to talk to you about that article released online. It's going to be printed today at the Times.

It was good. I think you're in the clear. And anyway, if you get a chance, give me a call. This is why sixty percent of the public, according to a CNN poll, believes that Joe was doing business with Hunter. And forty-two percent think it's illegal.

This is a CNN poll. You still think, Democrats, there's nothing here? What about the DC Dinner and Devin Archer testimony? then V P attended a dinner with Hunter's Ukrainian with Hunter's Ukrainian contact, this guy Kazakh and Russian business associates in twenty fifteen at Cafe Milano. The White House at first denied Joe's attendance.

Then when photographs emerged of Joe in attendance it claimed it was only a brief stop. But Hunter's friend Devon said he stayed for over an hour. and attended another similar dinner a year earlier. I ask you, ladies and gentlemen, What logical person? Could possibly buy the story.

that Joe Biden knew nothing about the pres the son's business dealings. when he was the business. The influence was not Hunter. It was Joe Biden, the influence. The money is real.

We know about 20 million. But what if I told you? There's over a hundred and twenty-five. Suspicious SARS report. Suspicious.

So reporting. of documents and bank records. And Nancy Mace told us yesterday. that those SARS reports are classified. If you could see what she saw, you would have launched the same thing.

Devin Archer to House Oversight How many times? Would you say? That Hunter put his father on speakerphone or referenced his father being on the phone in front of others who were either foreign investors or foreign nationals who were soliciting business with or working with approximately. Archer's response. Approximately?

the differentiation between investor and normal course of day, you know, that's a very hard thing to speculate. But he they spoke every day. He acknowledged that they spoke every day. And he would, you know, sometimes make it apparent that he spoke to his dad and sometimes he put him on speaker. But as far as qualifying the number, you know, I wouldn't know.

20 times over 10 years. What? twenty times doing business. Your dad calls and you put him through? Or You told him to call.

And you need him to come through. And for those like Jamie Raskin, who pretends that Joe would have to say How much money am I getting? How much is my son getting? And can you p here's my dep here's my account number. Can you deposit it in my bank account?

That doesn't happen. We all know it doesn't happen. Why are we pretending that it happens? It doesn't happen.

So the fact is without that deposit slip. They're not going to buy it. And what I think it does is this. We don't have the there's no votes in the Senate for this. There might even be the votes in the House.

But if a guy gets elected because of his honesty and integrity to return to normalcy, and we see how chaotic the world is right now. And we see out of touch the president is right now. And then we find out that he was never on the up and up. Don't you think? The voters who didn't know that in 2020 deserve to know it all.

in 2024. And then you make your choice. I don't care who the Republican is. you should know who you're picking. It didn't stop the Democrats from slamming the inquiry cut nine.

There is zero evidence of any malfeasance on the part of President Joe Biden. There's been no evidence. And so they're using this word inquiry. There is no direct evidence, and they would be going forward with an impeachment inquiry based on lies. I think the impeachment inquiry is absurd.

The American people want us to do something that will make their lives better, not go off on these chases and SMAGA Republicans have launched an illegitimate impeachment inquiry that is a kangaroo court Fishing Expedition and Conspiracy Theater rolled into one. Oh my god, really? Oh my gosh. You know, oh, it's devastating. Ooh, don't do it.

Please don't do it. That was Senator Fetterman. I guess he put on a hundred pounds and has a small mustache now. And I, you know. He was kidding around, so sarcasm.

Maybe he's back to normal. that he hasn't been normal in about a year. I hope for himself. And he says I know the President's totally totally innocent. I don't think anybody when they go into the cloakroom or Go over to Starbucks.

look at each other and say Yeah, the president had nothing to do with that. Moscow Mayor, Kazakhstan, China Energy Company. Flying to Mexico to meet Carlos Slim and with the Vice President Chad, I guess, Air Force too. I'm going to ask Douglas Murray the big picture, also about our foreign policy. North Korean's leader goes over to Russia.

Man, so much going on.

So glad you're here. Don't forget, I'll take you calls: 1-866-408-7669. Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Killmead Show. Even if they're not directly spending this money, it'll free up other money for them to spend exactly the way they want.

And remember, this announcement kind of came to light on the anniversary of September 11th. And we know that Iran has been a supporter, a resource for al-Qaeda.

So there's salt in the wound here as well. And we know that Iran is still the world's most active sponsor of terrorism. And this is not a latent threat. This is an active threat. Iran has seized five tankers just in the last couple of years.

They're harassing ships to the point where the United States has recently, in the last few weeks, sent a warship, some fighter jets in the region to protect commercial shipping around Iran.

So Iran continues to be a direct threat to American interests. Yep, and that's why we gave them. six billion dollars. Joining us now, Douglas Murray to make sense of the world because I'm getting a little confused. Fox who's contributed to National Review Institute, fellow author of also author of The War on the West.

Douglas. First, we have so much to discuss. First off, on the Iranian deal. Little problem. Iran was going to, they're going to get your money, but leave it in Qatar, and you can only use it for humanitarian purposes.

The president, I just played the clip. The president of Iran goes, I don't know what you're talking about. We're using it the way we want. And we have Admiral Kirby say they don't know what they're talking about. Your thoughts about the swap and the billions.

First of all, it's an example of a fiction, a fiction entirely of our own creation. That entities like the Iranian Revolutionary Government have different entities within them which don't speak to each other, as if there's a separation of powers. As if if you give the Iranian government X billions of dollars. It would use them only in one part of the government. It doesn't work like that.

This is a fiction of our own creation. It's the same way in which Western countries have. Created the fiction, for instance, that there's a political wing of Hamas which is totally separate from the military wing of Hamas. Same thing with Hezbollah. None of these terrorist entities.

Actually, they regard themselves in that light. They are, all of them, one thing. There it is the Iranian revolutionary government, that's it. You give money to a part of it, you give it to all of it. Same thing with Hamas, same thing with Hezbollah.

I still am baffled after all these years by the fact that more people in America and the wider West Don't just push back every time you hear an official talking about these things as if they are these sort of carefully Segregated separation of powers entities. As Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, said this morning, not one buck. Of this money is going to go to help any Iranian civilian. Not one buck, guaranteed. What is our objective?

To get our people back? Admirable. But one thing, if you're an Iranian American, If you go to Iran. I know you have family there. You're on your own.

We can't keep doing this. These people just get captured from their living rooms of their parents' house, but if you go over there, we can't keep writing checks to get you out.

Well this goes to a sort of a deeper confusion we have about exactly what the Iranian government is all these years after the revolution. There have been repeated attempts in the last forty years to normalize the government. Treat them as a normal entity. It happened in the early 2000s. It's happened again in recent years.

But the message has to be given out again. This isn't a normal entity. We have had, as you say, Brian, repeated hostage trading of this kind, hostage stealing of this kind. The Iranians have done it with people from multiple Western countries, including America. And as you say, Part of this comes about because we're not completely clear, and we should be, about what this government is at this stage.

It remains the revolutionary government that it has been since 1979. We're clear, and we still want to do business with them. Barack Obama wanted to do business. John Kerry wanted to do business. This administration wants to do business.

And if you're clear on what they are, then of course the American people wouldn't be for this. Yes. A lot of this comes to the fact that, of course, the current administration in Washington has since the beginning wanted to go down the normalizing Iran route, most obviously by the entry back into the P five plus one nuclear arrangements, which they feel very resentful that America was pulled out from by former President Trump. Um this uh administration in Washington, sadly, is yet another Washington administration which believes that you can somehow bring Tehran in from the cold. And I'm afraid it just isn't in Washington's gift They pick sides.

As soon as those drones started arriving in Russia, the They are saying the hell with you, America. You could say whatever you want. I'm not even trying to be diplomatic. I'm not even putting them in funny boxes. I'm going to hand them to you in full display and tell you these are Iranian.

And that should have surprised nobody, because when we were in a closer theater to Iran, specifically in Iraq, for. Over a decade. The Iranians were blowing up, killing American troops. With IEDs. That had Iranian markings on them.

We knew Whenever a Humvee was attacked by an IED in Iraq, the IED in question had not been made from Fallujah. In the EFPA. It was in the FPA. Yeah, right? It had all the markings each time that this was from the Iranians.

So they've done this with us for years. It's a very strange relationship we're in. Again, we keep hoping they're going to be something, which they're not. In fact, there's a great story when General Petraeus first arrived in Iraq, you probably know it, that he was sent a letter by the.

Now, a very famous Soleimani, saying, Don't bother with all of these small jihadist groups. I'm your enemy. I, the representative of the Iranian government, I'm your enemy.

Now, they do that all the time. It's only us who say, oh, maybe sh shucks, maybe they don't mean it.

So today There's a big push with Republicans, and I'm not in that push. I don't think it's right. I don't think it should be a Republican or Democrat thing, but it's the way this Administration is slow walking a lot of the weaponry they first refuse and then think about and then eventually deliver, which has people who want to see Ukraine be successful pulling out their hair. But now we have North Korea's president, the Hermit King leader, Kim Jong-un, arrived by train into Siberia to set up a formal agreement, a no-limits agreement, with Russia. And we assume it's going to be armaments and artillery.

You told me you were in North Korea, you witnessed their military parade. What do they have to offer? I think I'm one of the very few Westerners who've actually managed to see a military parade in Pyongyang and get out. I I as you may survey a lot of their military kit. My estimate, which I sort of passed through much more expert friends afterwards, is that the with all of their kit, the North Koreans could do an awful lot of damage to Seoul, but They'd be wiped out by the time that was halfway through.

So I don't believe that the North Koreans are are a well-equipped uh military by any means. I can tell you, I've I've I've smelt the belching black smoke of their old Soviet tanks as they stagger down the highways of Pyongyang to show off to the citizenry. Uh this was uh eight years ago now.

Okay. And uh I I know that they haven't been able to get much kit, if any, since then. that they've always been reliant on They were relying back in the day on the Soviets. They were always the embarrassing younger brother. The North Koreans are always the yo embarrassing younger brother of the Russians, the Soviets, and the Chinese.

That relationship is a very strange one. It's always been like a weird family dynamic.

Sometimes the younger son is a sort of embarrassment.

Sometimes they sort of bring him into the family table. I have to say, I do not see the arrival of Kim Jong-un in Siberia. as a sign that the Russian war effort is going well. This is like. Calling on the weediest, least capable person you know to join you in a prize fight.

Uh it is not a sign of Russian strength. The North Koreans do not, so far as I think any intelligence agency knows, have the capability to create anything much more than.

Some Very low-grade uh nuclear weaponry that doesn't Work very well of a kind that the Russians don't need. I mean, Vladimir Putin doesn't need the stuff that Kim Jong-un is so desperate to be able to make deliverable. uh as nuclear weapons And what else exactly is it that they can give him? I'm baffled by this. I'm certainly not I'm certainly not scared by it.

So we see the Ukrainians have taken 50% back of the land that was taken from them on the initial invasion now over a year ago. And they are making some progress on their counterinsurgency, which I imagine could slow down, but they will not stop this winter. They made a mistake, they admitted letting them dig in. But the Russians are telling Ukrainians. That we are getting beat on the front line, but we're told we can't retreat because we'll get shot by other Russians.

Uh well that's been the case. That's that's always the Russian way of war. Um That was how they operated in World War One, it's how they operated in World War Two, it's how they're operating in Ukraine. Uh Russia's strategic advantage has always been manpower. Um it it can simply does simply regard human life as being very cheap.

uh other than the lives of the elite of the uh of the government, of course. Um it regards that its men as being extremely dispensable and it doesn't mind if now, as in World War Two, uh people have to climb over the bodies of their comrades to try to get hold of a single working rifle. That's uh that th th they don't have uh th the regard that we have in America, for instance, for every single troop. That just isn't isn't a part of the Russian thinking.

So I'm not at all surprised by that. I've heard that first hand from people I've spoken to in Ukraine who say that they've they've seen the way in which just phalanxes of of of men are sent at the lines in order that they can work out where the Ukrainians are firing from and then the offensive begins.

So after after they've seen a bunch of the Russian men moan down, then they work out where the firing positions are and then they get going. No no no other I mean no no no army in the West would behave like this, but the Russians do and it's not surprising and but it is true, Vregory, that the Ukrainians are are at a slightly perilous point here. Th th the uh the advance has been going very, very slowly. Uh speaking to a friend last night just got back from there. It's a problem with the air cover.

The r and the Ukrainians are very aware that if they don't make more progress fast, not only do they get into the winter, they get into a potentially altering political international political landscape, which slowly starts to atrophy in support. And that's that's their biggest worry. And it should be. Yeah, it should be, because these are huge checks we are writing. And the fact is, there's no strategy, and we have an administration who feels no compunction to explain to the American people to get out a map and let them know what is at stake and what happened before and what the ultimate goal is.

The Biden administration is close to approving the shipment of longer-range missiles packed with cluster bombs to Ukraine. Typical. They're close to considering. Today, announced we should have pilots trained by December. We have yet to deliver an Abrams tank.

So people are upset by the price. I get it. But what w I'm upset. by the slow walking, slow approval, lack of coordination among the administration, which is hurting a mission which I think is necessary for American security. Are you?

The best defense that anyone can make of the Biden administration is that it is very delicately trying to avoid whatever a tripwire might be. We're talking about Korea earlier, but remember in the Korean War there was a there was a certain point, a parallel in Korea, which when the American forces, in fact United Nations forces, went north of it, suddenly they tripped the Chinese army and the Red Army came flooding down in the millions and and then the the war was really in trouble. Uh I think the Biden administration has an an exaggerated fear of such a tripwire with the Kremlin at the moment. which is what exactly yes, what exactly is the thing that would be uh i insufferable uh For Putin. And so they've been going very, very slowly with each delivery, each new stage.

My own view is that they've been going far too slowly. But I do understand that caution. I mean, if you'd have said at the beginning of the conflict, and there are some sort of hawks who who wanted this, was give the Ukrainians everything they want from the get-go, I think that would have been unwise politically. it would have risked humiliating Putin straight away. And it's undoubtedly a delicate balance.

As I say, I think that the Biden administration in its supplying is going too slow for my own desire because I'm acutely aware, as you are, that you know, the the appetite for, among others, the American taxpayer is limited. I mean, it was limited in previous conflicts involving American troops.

So, goodness knows, of course, it's going to be limited in a conflict not involving American troops. Troops. But I just think that people have to, in this whole thing, remember that the first aim of Vladimir Putin failed immediately. They did not decapitate the Ukrainian regime. They didn't decapitate the Ukrainian government.

That remains strong. The Ukrainian people remain strong and unified. And the main aim that Putin professed, which of course was such a lie, that NATO was pushing into his borders, if that was his great fear, it has already backfired because the border that Russia shares with NATO has expanded enormously since. Because, of course, we now have two new members in NATO. More with Douglas Murray.

Today, significant. The Washington Post, the latest to say Joe Biden should not run. Don't move. Giving you everything you need to know. You're with Brian Kilmead.

From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmead. I think that's an absolutely legitimate concern. Presidency is not a job for someone that's 80 years old, and there's nothing wrong with being 80. Obviously, I'm the governor of Florida. I know a lot of people who are elderly, they're great people, but you're talking about a job where you need to give it 100%.

You need an energetic president. And I think that if the founders could kind of look at this again, I do think they probably would have put an age limit on some of these offices.

So that was Governor DeSantis essentially saying Joe Biden's too old, but so is Donald Trump, Douglas Murray. That's right. It's a it's a c careful message he's putting out there. Not Lisa. I like that line about the residents of Florida.

He he's aware of the electorate as well. Yes. It it does actually have to be said this, because it it's it's it's it does sound bad to some people's ears when people and sometimes it is actually cruel the way in which people talk about Biden. Um there are plenty of people who are cognitively completely capable, of course, way into their eighties and nineties. I I have a ninety eight-year-old friend who's sharp as a button.

Um but but th that's unusual. And Joe Biden is aging in a perfectly normal way. And I think most people can see it, that he's simply slower. He it's not the case that these rambling half-truth stories he tells are something new. He's been doing this for his whole career, as you know.

When everyone says, you know, look, he said he was a ground zero the day after nine eleven, this is sort of this is the sort of thing Joe Biden's done all his life. I was in Afghanistan, I went hurtling towards the Taliban who said to me, No, don't do it, Mr. Vice President. But I said, shucks. And then I mean, this is this is typical Peak Biden.

But I think everyone can see And it's obvious at every summit that He's just not operating at full whack. And we need him to. And we need him to. But there is a danger, just very quickly, there is a danger that Republicans over over talk this. I think that Donald Trump did this before the 2020 election.

You remember Trump said, you know, Joe, he's not there. He's not with us anymore. It was a funny and cruel line. But then, when Biden turned up to the debate, he did okay. I mean, he didn't do great, and unfortunately, Trump didn't allow him to speak, so he just didn't, you know, get a chance to just show how rambling he can be.

But there is a risk that Republicans over-talk this. And all it then requires is for Biden to stand on stage and, like, do one sentence, okay, and all the New York Times and Washington both will be clapping like seals. The Washington Post, Dave Ignatius, said, Hey, you did a great job. Step aside, Kamo Harris. Whatever you think of her, she's got talent, but the American people and Democratic Party won't rally around her.

We only have two months to get other nominees. How significant is it that that editorial is in the Washington Post right now? I I think it's the breaking of the dam. I I've long thought that Joe Biden wouldn't be the nominee for the next election. And I still stick by that prediction.

He's not going to make it, and this is a sign that zonicide is turning on him. Who's gonna tell Harris? Oh, I hope it's not me. Ah, Douglas Murray, thanks so much. Frank Johnson.

From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City. Always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Killmead. Hi everyone, welcome to the latest minutes of the Brian Kill Me Show. Steve Otton will be here any minute.

Senator Marsha Blackburn, too. We're still looking at the press conference. They got that escaped prisoner over in Pennsylvania. That is good news. It took weeks to find him.

The prison a mess. Can you imagine one guy escaping by doing the crab up a wall and over barbed wire? And then two weeks later, another person does the exact same thing.

So they obviously have problems with that prison. I salute everybody who worked 24-7 to get this guy. I can't wait to see the after action report. And one thing that you're not going to hear about. That he did not belong here, an illegal immigrant from Brazil.

And speaking of that, let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. I'm not sleeping at night thinking all is well, okay? I have nieces and nephews who say, Well, why should I vote for this guy? He's a little old.

I said, Your papa was old, too. And look what he did to help you. Yeah, Donna Brazil, I don't love the analogy or the allegory, but I do love the theme. For her to say what she says about the trouble the Democrats are in at Joe Biden specifically, it's a message to her party. We'll discuss it.

Number two. Do you believe you have the right to use that money in any way that you see fit? The Islamic Republic of Iran will decide to spend it wherever we need it. No kidding. North Korea, the tubby tyrant, trains into Siberia to lend weapons to Russia.

Shows desperation? Yeah, I think so. Iran gets 6 billion funds unfrozen by the U.S. and then snubs Joe Biden. China does at the G20.

Our enemies are uniting. As the U.S. up for the challenge, I smell nothing but weakness and incompetence. Number one. I do not make this decision lightly.

And regardless of your party or who you voted for, these facts should concern all Americans. The American people deserve to know that the public offices are not for sale.

Yep, that was Speaker McCarthy making it official. We have another impeachment. It's an inquiry. Joining us now, Steve Hilton. Steve, almost since you came over, we've been impeachment heavy from the UK.

We saved you from that nation and brought you to this one, and you've brought nothing but chaos. Why is that? Because I love this country so much. I want to keep the entertainment going. I want to keep conversations happening.

It's all about making it fun for you, Brian. That is the whole point of my existence ever since I set foot in this wonderful country. I did not know that, but this is good to know when you're on the record because we are live. Steve Hildon, this impeachment inquiry. Did Kevin McCarthy have a choice?

I think he didn't have a choice, but not for the reason people are saying.

So, the knock on him is that this is all just his weakness. His party insisted on it, shows that he's not a leader. I think it's exactly the opposite. The reason he had to do it was because of the facts that have already been uncovered by the investigation that's already been going on. When you see this catalogue of absolute corrupt behavior, these bank accounts, all these family members enriching themselves, the aliases, the email aliases, while he's vice president, this is clearly an episode of corruption that's been going on for years.

And the exact reason it's so important that this is raised to the level of an impeachment inquiry is because of the argument you hear from the other side.

So, they say all the time, they don't even bother denying now that there was influence peddling. Everyone admits that. But what they say is: look at the phrases: there was no wrongdoing. That reveals the problem here. They don't think any of this is wrong because this is what everyone does.

This is the swamp business model. This whole thing reveals the corruption that's actually at the heart of our system. It's incredibly important. That's why we need to really make an example of it as a deterrent to this kind of corruption going on and on forever. Yeah, I'm not sure what changes with the inquiry as opposed to the impeachment that gets voted on and ultimately would stop in the Senate, you imagine, because most of the Republican senators aren't for this.

But. Starting with the laptop, not real. Turns out it's real. Starting with I never knew anything about my son's business dealings. We never discussed it to.

I never was involved with it, but I knew about it because he was at dinner and he was calling into meetings. And now we know an alias. How many times have you been CC'd on international issues that we can't get from the National Archives? By the way, there's two other things. One which has been discussed but people have forgotten about.

And there's another thing I just want to lay out for you, which is just not in this conversation at all and should be. First of all, remember, they say, well, the defense is, but Biden didn't benefit, there's nothing, he didn't make any money from this, nothing to do with him. Wait a second. Do you remember on the laptop, one of the emails or texts that came out was, well, he was arguing with, I think it was an ex-wife or I don't know, whoever it was, Hunter was saying, well, you don't have to give half your income to pops like I do.

So that's evidence right there that the money that Hunter was making was going directly to Joe Biden. But on top of that, there's an aspect of public corruption here which has just not been discussed. At the time that all this was going on, you had Joe Biden in charge of Ukraine policy. He directed billions of dollars of taxpayer money, U. S.

taxpayer money, to go to the Ukraine energy industry While his son was on the board of a Ukrainian energy company, they then hired Burizma hired. As a lobbyist John Kerry's former chief of staff, by the way, at this time, John Kerry is Secretary of State, that guy. He's called David Leiter. He was Burisma's lobbyist, John Kerry's former chief of staff. Paid ninety thousand dollars by Burisma.

He then immediately after that Gives $60,000 in donations to two Democrat senators, Gene Shaheen. And Ed Markey was a What do they do? They write the letter. to Biden saying we need to send more money. to Ukrainian energy industries.

That's total corruption. And that's public money that was going.

Now the question we and I laid all this out there from public sources four years or so ago on my show, and I said from the public information, we can't tell how much of that US aid that went to the Ukrainian energy industry, how much of that ended up in Burisma's bank account. That's the question they need to be asking in this impeachment investigation, because that is direct corruption and it's public money. Shokin said they took Crimea without firing a shot. And he told me that wouldn't have happened if Joe Biden wasn't in charge doing what he was doing in that country. And I wanted to get to the bottom of that.

And he says, I'll be in my book if I could get a publisher. He's in desperate straits. He's on monthly income. He is not a rich guy. And he's been tried to be poisoned, mercury poisoned, twice.

And he said, I was investigating burisma, and I was concerned about Hunter and Devin Archer on that board. Yeah, I th the issue with that with that with that whole s aspect of the story is that there were other countries, not just us here in America that were pushing for his removal. And so that is not as clear-cut to me. As the as the What I call cash for gas. Taxpayer money to the energy industry.

Burisma's a leading energy company. That's the part, I think, that really hasn't been investigated enough. I really hope they focus on it. I mean, I put this all out there years ago. Every time I had coma on my shot, I said, When are you going to look into that?

Is he?

Well I hope so. That's the whole point surely of having this extra layer of investigation and presumably they'll be able to really get into where the the money flows here. And it's not just private money, it's not just Burisma funding the Biden family. This is Burisma funding Democrat senators as well as the Biden family and the Biden family, Joe, and the Senators directing taxpayer money to Burisma. That's the that's the central allegation.

I think that's what should be the focus of all of this. No one's even talking about that.

So when you look at the war right now, This is all over the war. Republicans are going, you know. That Ukraine, that got my President impeached. You know that Ukraine, Joe Biden is up to no good there. I don't really want anything to do with that country.

We're wasting too much money. Our border is broken. You've heard the Republicans make that argument.

Well, some of that is true. I agree with most of it. I mean, it's certainly true about the border. But the point is that why should that be an excuse for not digging into an absolutely clear An egregious corruption scandal. And just because everyone else does it in Washington, And that's the fact.

I mean, that's why they don't take this seriously. Like this or this? No, this is the worst. And this is what I always said about Joe Biden. that he is the worst of the worst because he's the absolute Archetype.

of the swamp. This is what his his whole career has been this, fifty years. This is what he's been doing. Totally. No, that and not just him, all the people in DC.

You watch the way the DC, the swamp reporters, those who are kind of in mail, they all go to dinner with each other, they hang out with each other, they're all in each other's lobbying firms and all the rest of it. They think this is normal. And they and in more than that, they think it's justified on one level because they say this is what they think. I'm telling you from personal experience.

Well, look, we go into public service, they call it public service. We don't get paid very much. All our friends are earning a fortune in the private sector. Why shouldn't we make a bit of money? That they think this is this is actually almost that they're entitled to do this kind of corruption because they're not paid very much through their taxpayers.

Steve Hilton, great to see you. Fantastic to be here. You enjoy yourself in California? We love it. I'm working hard to turn it around, Brian.

That is my focus. I want you to be as can you be governor? I'm working hard in whatever way I can. We're doing a ballot initiative to solve our housing crisis. You can find out more.

Golden Together, that's my new organization. I love it. A man of action. All right. Back with your calls.

1866-408-7669. Bottom of the hour. Senator Marshall Blackburn. Brian Kilmeetchia. Educating, entertaining, enlightening.

You're with Brian Kilmead. A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Politics of impeachment in the major cases, you can always find a precedent for what you're looking for. The radical Republicans started trying to impeach Andrew Johnson in December of 1865.

But the fact that that's the precedent, Reconstruction, a civil war, is. Deeply disturbing. And I think that, sure, there could be a backlash. It may be that our analogies to the 1990s are pointless at this juncture. Yeah, and I hope John Meacham was referring to not the impeachment inquiry, but.

The use of the 14th Amendment to say that Donald Trump's ineligible to run and the reference to 1875. That's what they're going back to. I hope that was it because John Meacham is a great guy, genius, and he is just so anti-Trump. He has gotten way to the left. And, you know, he was endorsing some of my history books, and he would come on for every book, and one was better than the next.

And the Bush family loved him. But something about when Trump came out, he just could not tolerate him. And if you watch him, he is now somebody who met with Joe Biden, who told Joe Biden you could be like FDR, which is crazy. Because Joe Biden believed it. Ricky, you're in South Carolina.

Hey, Ricky. Good morning, Brian. How you doing? Good. What's on your mind?

So my issue is that a lot of people are not understanding why we're sending weapons to Ukraine. Back in the 90s, Bill Clinton, as the President of the United States, Russia, and Ukraine signed a treaty. If Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons, Russia would not invade and the U.S. would defend them.

So, why are we complaining about doing something that we agreed to do? How about we didn't do it? Hey, Ricky, we didn't do it. They took Crimea without firing a shot. Exactly.

We should have defended, we should have given all they needed to defend Crimea as well. We were dealing with Yeltsin back then, too. Yeltsin, we thought, was trying to make efforts to a degree to bring some type of free market to Russia. And then comes Vladimir Putin, and he's bitter towards the collapse and Gorbachev and everything else.

So we got a totally different regime after that. But you're right. We told them to trust us. They gave us up their nuclear weapons. And look what they got in return.

They have taken back 50% of their country that they had lost after the initial invasion. And I hope they could take back more. But Russia is just going to call up another 400,000 reluctant citizens to go into this den of hell. And they will do some damage on the Ukrainians. And I just hope the West doesn't break because a defeat of Russia is a defeat of China.

Ricky, thanks so much. I appreciate it. Uh and that and that's really Uh to me, J.D. Vance.

Well I like is so vehemently against the war. We have other problems. We shouldn't be involved. And because of that, China and Russia are closer together and Russia and North Korea are closer together and Russia and Iran are closer together. Yes.

But Because they tried to take out a country We should not defend an ally. because we don't want Russia to get together with other enemies of ours. Does anyone remember World War I and World War II? If we don't stop the invading power, they take Europe? If we we save the day, Both times.

Does anyone want to see a map? I saw this thing. Yesterday, and I got to dive into it. What would the world been like if the US did not get involved in major conflicts? It would not be pretty.

And we would not be free. In my mind. And there's no doubt about it. China is building up a an arsenal to fight us and beat us. But that doesn't mean you turn around and let Russia take what they want.

Because you decided to collapse our border, it doesn't mean you can't let the Ukrainians have weapons to win a war they wanted no part of. I thought that was relatively a given. But Joe Biden is so poisoned a well that everything that he touches, he slow walks. And people that back him, like Lindsey Graham and Jack Keene and Michael McCall, are so fed up with defending the mission because they do not like how they're implementing The Tactics And next thing you know, you're defending something that's indefensible that nobody else is even talking about.

So now we have an impeachment inquiry going on, which I think is going to be an ongoing more public investigation. And I find it hard to believe, and I've already seen it changed. Other. Outlets. And broadcast.

Are not going to look and say, oh, this is bank records. Why does the president need a shell company? Why does the president need a pseudo-name? Why does he need to go on Air Force 2 to meet with Carlos Slim in Mexico? Why was he CCing Hunter on international business deals and messages to other countries?

Why did he show up at that restaurant where this business deal was going on? That's what people will say. Before They vote. I hope. It's an audition.

This is a job interview. This should be part of the job interview. Susan in St. Louis. Hey, Susan.

First of all, I agree about everything that you talk about basically. But there's one thing that I've been wanting to talk to you about is what are we going to do with all these illegal immigrants come winter? that are on the streets. Do you have a two in St. Louis?

Can you imagine this? No one talks about this. Susan, how is St. Louis? Do you have a lot?

Well, we're getting more, I can tell you that. And I think they're flooding our schools for sure. And people don't realize this is going to hurt our children on education. It is already the medical part of it. It's just disgusting what this president has done.

That's all I can say. Susan, do you have kids? No, I do not.

So do you know that kids, before they start first day of school, they got to get their vaccinations? Because I had all. Oh, I know. That's another thing I'm up in arms about. Oh, boy, am I.

They all go to school unvaccinated. We've got twenty one thousand kids. No vaccination. Polio, all the stuff that we just take for granted. There was no argument.

You know, I have a chiropractor relative who didn't want to vaccinate his kids. It was the biggest story. He's a naturalist and he had his opinions, and that's fine. But it was the biggest controversy about getting him into school, and he ultimately had to do it.

So now you have to let all these kids for thirty days before they even have to start thinking about it.

So by then, how many diseases are they spreading in our schools? That's what I want to know. Yeah, and they might be great kids. Everybody, you know, give a kid a chance. I get it.

The American dream, I understand it. But this is not the way you do it. It's not the way you do it. And there's nothing uh there's nothing wrong with prioritizing America's children Over the world, children. When they come to our country and try to take American kids' place, putting America first in America.

I thought it was a given. I thought. Not selfish. There's charities, there's immigration groups, I get it. But don't just give us 100,000 people and say, you deal with it.

Go have a tent, go convert a school, go turn over a hotel. A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmead. There is zero evidence of any male on the part of President Joe Biden. There's been no evidence, and so they're using this word inquiry.

There is no direct evidence, and they would be going forward with an impeachment inquiry based on lies. I think the impeachment inquiry is absurd. The American people want us to do something that will make their lives better, not go off on these chases and Smagger Republicans have launched an illegitimate impeachment inquiry that is a kangaroo court fishing expedition and conspiracy theater Rolled into one. Oh my God, really? Oh my gosh.

You know, oh, it's devastating. Don't do it. Please, don't do it. How bizarre is that guy? That was Senator Fetterman at the end.

And how comical is it for Senator Chuck Schumer to say, the American people want us to get things done? Really? Didn't you impeach the other president twice? Didn't you actually talk about Russia every day for two and a half years? Yes, the American people want you to get things done.

The Senate not bringing it up. But do you understand that most of the people that dealt with your antics are still alive and engaged in the political process, one of which joins me right now, Senator Marcia Blackburn, member of the Finance, Judiciary, and Transportation Committee? Senator, welcome back. I'm delighted to join you. Thanks so much for having me on.

So, Senator, first off, I know the Senate is not all in on the impeachment inquiry, and it's just an inquiry. There's no vote in the House. Are you do you find it not passing the laugh test when Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer say the American people want us to get things done? One of the things that we should applaud the House on is beginning the inquiry and preserving their ability to subpoena people. And Brian, you're so right for them to all of a sudden say, well, we need to be working on things to benefit the American people.

They have chosen not to do anything. I mean, look at what has happened with inflation. Look at what is taking place on the border. Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday, we were all about trying to get a hearing on the southern border and get Maorcas in front of us. We haven't had a hearing on that.

We're not looking at what is happening there, and it is affecting the lives of every single American, what is happening in our communities with drugs.

So you know what? They're not focused on the American people. They're focused on what they can do to scoop up power, what they can do to protect themselves in the 2024 elections and continue to hold power and control every single component of your day from daylight to dark. Yeah, they can't get them to go to work. I mean, it's amazing to me.

You only have so many business days left to avoid a shutdown. You guys have done your appropriations bills. I'm not sure what's in them, but I like that you did it in regular order. The House pledged to do the same thing. How important is it for them to do that?

It is vitally important for them to do that. We have said we wanted to return to regular order. And so the House has passed one appropriation bill out of committee. The Senate has done all 12 bills out of committee. But of course, the process has to begin in the House.

That is why you're going to see the Senate take the one bill that they have passed and put three of our appropriation bills our MILCON VA, Agriculture and Transportation Housing on that one bill and send it back over to the House for them to take action. They need to be taking up what is going to happen with the CR. continuing to fund the government and keep it open. The only person pushing for a government shutdown is Chuck Schumer, and he really wants a government shutdown because he thinks it helps him politically, and he can blame Republicans for it. Right now in the House, as you know, it's a little bit unwieldy, but for the most part, Kevin McCarthy's got his hands full.

He used to work there in particular.

Some people said he had no choice but to do this inquiry. I think James Comer's done a real good job. How much? What. How much more pressure is there now for Jordan and Comer to get the answers on how many more shell companies, to get these SAR reports out that they say are so important, and to get people like Eric Sherwin in front of them, and maybe even Hunter Biden himself?

Yes, and it is important, and that's why preserving that subpoena power and calling for that impeachment inquiry, beginning that process, continuing to gather information, tying down the last threads of some of these bank accounts. And Brian, as you know, they've got the money trail. They need to tie it back to the actions to see if indeed there was involvement from the Vice President for specific actions. If how were these payments from China, Ukraine, Russia? Tied into Biden Incorporated and the president.

So getting that subpoena power where they can pull additional documents, emails, banking records. and make these reports public, it is going to be imperative that they do that and that they answer this question and can say, here is concrete evidence, here is an action that was taken, a phone call made, an email. Instruction on talking points, and here is the payment that followed.

So you guys have done all 11. You've put the bills together on all 11 spending. Have there been the cuts that were necessary to stop us with our $1 trillion deficit? Any cuts that you know of? There have been some reductions.

It's not enough to satisfy me, you know, and I have filed my spending cut amendments for 1%, which is a penny on a dollar, 2%, 2 cents out of a dollar, and 5%, which is 5 cents out of a dollar, on the spending. I think that we should have every single agency make these reductions every year. If you did that for a period of 10 years, it is amazing what you would see. The other thing that I think is important, Brianne, and this would be an action for 2025. Is to And we're going to have a Republican President.

That Republican President needs to have somebody, whether it's the VP or someone else, that goes through. and looks at how you reshape. These federal departments and agencies, so that you're using technology, you're removing ghost employees, you're getting rid. Of positions that have outlived their usefulness and no longer have a stated purpose. That essence of government reform would be a tremendous savings.

the American taxpayer. When you saw the President overseas looking at 9-11 in Alaska, when you see him refusing to say that China is an adversary, I know there's tactics and there's diplomacy, but do you think he believes it? Does he believe that China is not doing everything possible to hurt us on a daily basis, preparing to fight us down the line and take Taiwan despite our alliance with them? It is amazing to me that he could, on a daily basis, see what is happening and not realize China is an adversary. They are not a competitor, and they have not been.

And his timidness in dealing with China has been such a source of frustration. His desire to be China's friend has been a source of frustration. And you look at how China has teamed up with what I call the new axis of evil, Russia, Iran, North Korea. Those four countries do not wish us well. And they are taking steps to make preparation for expanding their territories, for overrunning other countries.

You look at what they're doing to Taiwan and the island nations in the Indo-Pacific. You look at Russia and what they're doing to Ukraine. You look at how willing North Korea, North Korea is overmeeting in Russia with Putin right now. And then you look at Iran, who has entered into an agreement with Russia to manufacture drones. in Russia.

And they're using those to fight Ukrainians. China is, of course, the banker on a lot of this. And, Brian, you have to say, what are you looking at? What is important to you in either military strength or diplomacy that would cause you to not realize these people do not wish you well. They are adversaries.

They are trying to take you down. They are trying to diminish you without ever firing a single shot at you.

So let's talk about what you did yesterday. Probably really cool. The Senate had a hearing in front of the Commerce Committee about AI. You brought over some pretty important people to educate us on something very few know a lot about. What did you take away?

What I took away is that when you talk to some of the companies that are there, you look at the intentionality that they are approaching the issue of AI with. trying to make certain that they are identifying what can be harms or misuse. And trying to make certain that we put the right guardrails in place. And Brian, you and I have talked about the need for an online consumer privacy law so that individuals have the right to protect their virtual you, their presence online. One of the things that came up repeatedly, whether it was the Commerce Committee hearing we had yesterday or the Judiciary Committee hearing we had on AI, is the fact that step number one Has to be passing an online consumer privacy protection law so that individuals have the right to hold their information, much of it.

Personal identifying information, transactional information, they have the right to hold that out. of the open source on the internet. Because AI is trained on open source information. And of course, you know, when you look at some industries like healthcare, logistics, financial services, law enforcement, There are so many positive uses for AI. When you look at how facial recognition is used for human surveillance.

That is a problem. We know that the Chinese Communist Party is using that right now on the Uyghurs. We know the Iranians are using it against women. to make certain they're properly closed. We also know that it is important for our creators and innovators, our songwriters, our singers, our entertainers, our performers, our authors, our publishers.

to be able to protect their performance and their written works. And it is problematic when AI is trained on their name, their image, their likeness. Their works and creations, but there is no compensation back to the entertainer. Voice cloning is a problem. And we have seen several people who have been scammed or do you know what to do right now?

Like if someone had done a Senator Marshall Blackburn. uh voice with to your constituents Could it's possible Are we ready to stop it? Are there things we can do? The privacy law is step number one. And then these companies making certain that you have rogue regimes who do not have access to their technology.

That is something that we discussed yesterday that is going to be terribly important. And they're going to be in a gatekeeper position on much of this. And I'm very pleased that we have the AI Forum going on today. And we're going to hear from Zuckerberg and Elon Musk and some others who are quite involved. We actually have a panel of about 20.

That are going to be involved in this. That's going to be helpful. Sam Altman from OpenAI is going to be there. Yeah, Bill Gates will be there. Jensen Huang from NVIDIA will be there.

These are all people we need to hear from to know what they're thinking. Right. And yeah. And you got to get them in from the private sector to start helping you out, don't you think? Right.

Thanks so much. Senator Marshall Blackburn, appreciate it. Back in a moment. Honest commentary, unique opinions. No agenda.

It's Brian Kilmead. The more you listen, the more you'll know it's Brian Killmead. They're doing it because the extreme far-right members of that caucus are demanding it of Speaker McCarthy. This isn't based on anything substantive. It's based on the fact that he is being attacked from his right and he's throwing them red meat.

It shows how illegitimate this inquiry really is. And it gets to something deeper. This is yet another example of trampling on the norms and the Constitution and the stability of our democracy. The Constitution sets a standard for impeachment, and not only have they not met it, They haven't found any evidence at all to proceed to this.

So that is Ian Sams, whose job it is to be a spokesperson to push back on the investigation into Joe Biden. But it's an inquiry. without having an impeachment vote. Even if it was a full blown impeachment, both sides opposed their side. But what they're doing is on the fly investigating the work of Joe Biden dating back in the two thousands and the role Hunter had.

And it is complex, but it's out there. You could say, and I'd appreciate it if someone said, You know I saw Hunter doing deals with Burisma and being on his board. And I saw the energy deal with the Chinese company affiliated with the government. And I saw him with Kazakhstan. I saw him with the mayor's wife.

And I saw him in twenty fifteen with his father there. And I saw all this stuff. And I saw the Shell accounts. And then I saw the SARS warnings, one hundred and twenty five of them. And I don't think it's a big deal.

Okay. Bye. B'ynah who is? The voter. Other people, 60%, when asked, do you believe that Joe Biden was doing business with his son?

41%. Was it illegal? Yes. See you then, Paul. It's getting through, no matter what Eam Sam says.

Brian, WTBO in Orlando. Hey, Brian. Hey, good morning, Brian. Thank you first for your approach here. I love when we disagree because you always bring an argument that makes me have more information and ability to understand the other side.

So, thank you on that. But regarding the impeachment inquiry, I can't quite get myself comfortable because it's all stuff that's so old. And it's not stuff that that took place during his present term Now, anybody who's being intellectually honest has to accept that the Biden family is dirty, and maybe this would just bring that. Facts to more people's eyes and attention. And you voted for that they could do heck no.

Oh, no, no, no, no. I am not a Biden fan at all, and I just I'm just trying to be intellectually fair. And maybe this will will bring that Dirtiness to light, and if people want to dismiss it because oh, all politicians are dirty or politics are dirty, you know, to each their own, whatever lets them sleep at night. But I I just haven't I can't get comfortable with the impeachment inquiry because it's not anything he's done as President. Can you help me with that?

Yeah, a couple of things. Number one, 2024 matters because he's running. Number two, what he said on the stage, and I know I had nothing to do with it. Fifty-one Intel agents said it's not my son's laptop. You really?

Are you kidding me?

Now in retrospect, isn't it farcical or how easy he lied? Number two. Number three is foreign policy. Why is he letting China get away with certain things? What is really going on in Ukraine?

Could this thing have been prevented? And it makes you wonder about decisions in foreign policy. Policies. And then, when you see that Hunter is interacting with Anthony Blinken, the Secretary of State, he had a lesser position back then, and Jake Sullivan. And I'm wondering.

What are all these guys doing? Why are you with the crackhead addicted to hookers doing international business deals? Why is he going to the White House meeting with you? I'm sure it's not for drugs. But it was brought up yesterday.

Hey, it happened before you're present. I get it. Brian killed me too. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show. Brian In Kill Mead.

Hi, everyone. Brian Kilmey here. Thanks so much for listening. It's the Brian Kilmead Show. This hour we're going to be joined by the great Martha McCallum.

She's going to be in the studio getting set for her show, The Story at 3 o'clock. And Congressman Carlos Jimenez, he's on the House Armed Services Committee, Homeland Security, and China Select Committee. Man, impactful committees all around, and of course, all over this inquiry. This impeachment inquiry, which is causing everybody to weigh in and is getting a lot of attention on what Joe Biden and his family were up to.

So let's get before we get to the congressman in Florida. Let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. I'm not sleeping at night thinking all is well, okay? I have nieces and nephews who say, Well, why should I vote for this guy? He's a little old.

I said, Your papa was old too. And look what he did to help you. Right, but no one thinks down in Brazil that Joe Biden can do the job. Pressure building on the bungling Biden not to run. Not from Republican critics, they've always been there.

But from the Washington Post, David Ignatius. Why, this editorial could actually draw blood on Biden. And new polls show he's dropping like a rock in Iowa. Look out. Number two.

Do you believe you have the right to use that money in any way that you see fit? The Islamic Republic of Iran will decide to spend it wherever we need it. North Korea, tubby tyrant, trains into Siberia to lend weapons to Russia. I know, pathetic, right? Iran gets $6 billion in funds unfrozen by the U.S.

and South Korea. And then all of a sudden, China snubs Biden and the world at the G20 and beyond. Our enemies seem to be uniting against us for one reason. In my view, they smell weakness and incompetence. Number one.

I do not make this decision lightly. And regardless of your party or who you voted for, these facts should concern all Americans. The American people deserve to know that the public offices are not for sale.

Speaker McCarthy, on why he went ahead with the impeachment inquiry, but did not bring the vote to the floor.

So this is what Nancy Pelosi did. What will actually change? Let's bring in Congressman Carlos Jimenez. I imagine, Congressman, you are in support of this move. Absolutely, one hundred percent.

I think that it may be a little overdue. I think there's been so much smoke coming out of the White House So much evidence is pouring out that uh we need to have this inquiry now and and put this get as much information as we can so we can put it to the American people. It's our duty. It's our constitutional duty, Brian, as Congressman. And women to look for the, you know, to the what is this president, what is he being involved with involved in.

Uh, does it reach uh the level of uh high crimes and misdemeanours? And look, I mean, like I said, I mean I I'm a firefighter, I've seen a lot of smoke, and when there's smoke, there's fire. And I think that we owe it to the American people to find out the truth.

Okay. And I've been fascinated by this case for years. And I've talked to Shokin a couple of weeks ago, the prosecutor that was fired. He believes there wouldn't have even been an invasion of Ukraine ever, including losing Crimea without a shot, without Joe Biden. He wants to expand on that.

I'm going to talk to Prashenko this weekend to say: hey, was Shokin really your pick to be a prosecutor? Were you actually pressured by the then vice president and see if the former president will be honest about that war-torn country? But, Congressman, I think that The American voter needs to know who they're electing if Joe Biden runs. At the very least, we need somebody that would expose what he was or wasn't up to. Maybe there's voicemails that exonerate him.

Maybe Hunter was doing wildcatting with his dad's reputation. I doubt it. But we deserve to know because Joe Biden was perfectly happy lying to us last time. No, absolutely.

So look, he actually fabricated a lie. It's not that he just lied, he fabricated it. That memo that was signed by those sixty odd intelligence uh uh personnel. All of that was fabricated. I mean, hey, how can we be willing to do this?

Oh, yeah, absolutely. And so to mislead, to lie to the American people. That somehow that laptop was Russian disinformation. The only thing that was disinformation was the memo itself. And so, and that was completely fabricated by the Biden campaign to lie to the American people.

Joe Biden has a history of lying, 40 years, at least, of lying to the American people, exaggerating, plagiarizing all kinds of stuff.

So this is not something new. Oh, gee, first time that the president has lied to the American people. He's been lying for 40 years or guys. He's a pathological liar. Congressman.

Believe him now. Are you kidding me?

So listen, I'm all for it. And if he looks good in this inquiry, go ahead. Best of luck. Fight it out. They set up a war room to push back.

But I just don't know mechanically, according to Andy McCarthy's column today, and he is a conservative legal mind. He said nothing really changes because you don't really have additional powers because you didn't put this up for a vote.

Now, with only a five-point advantage, five-seat advantage, there are many. Republicans That it's not to their advantage because they represent purple areas to sign on to an impeachment, so they might not. Is that the reason the votes aren't there? That may be the reason, but I don't think that it's a valid reason. Because uh no matter wh whether you're in a a Biden uh plus ten and you're a Republican sitting in that seat, this is not a political question.

This is about the future of this country. there is a real possibility. that the President of the United States has been compromised by powers that are working against American interest. um our adversaries. And if that's the case.

you have to put your own thoughts or your own career behind. You got to put America first if, in fact, our President has been compromised. by powers that by China, by Ukraine, by other other Romania, et cetera, Iran. You have to put that first. We have to put that first.

And so, by the way, all we're asking for is an inquiry, not asking to. To right now to impeach the president. We want the inquiry in order to get the evidence to see. Look. If he's not guilty, hey, give us all the information that we want, okay, to basically clean your name.

Because right now it's not very good.

So before you left, before you left in the summer, they voted to put the wall up in the Senate.

Some Democrats voted for it, and it was going to go to the House. And the President started selling the metal pennies on the dollar. There's a race now to get this thing passed. Is that thing coming at you yet into your chamber? The wall to go ahead and fund the wall again?

No, we funding. We have HR two that I think we'll pass in that to put the wall up and put money to put the wall up again.

So yeah, I think we we see eye to eye and then the President will probably veto it because again, the President does everything against American interests around the world.

So which again to me leads more credence to the fact that this President is compromised. And so look, I don't have all the evidence and but it certainly looks that way. Everything that I've seen kind of points to the fact that this president is compromised. And so I'm asking, if there are some Republicans that are sitting on the fence about this inquiry, they need to get off the fence and and vote for the inquiry. And I'm thinking more and more of the moderates, the ones from New from New York and California are saying, yeah, the inquiry is okay.

And that would be the only folks that I would say, hey, th maybe having some some Second thoughts about having the inquiry. And so the ones that I've heard from said that the inquiry is okay. They're not there yet on impeachment. By the way, I'm not there on impeachment yet. That's what the inquiry is all about.

But all the evidence is pointing that way, you know. And it just seems to be a massive preponderance of evidence pointing to the fact that this president, his family, has been involved in influence peddling for years, especially during his years as vice president, and that if that's the case, And this money was coming from foreign adversaries. That these foreign adversaries then have something on this president. And that would be. The biggest political scandal in American history.

We've had corrupt presidents in the past, but I don't think we've ever had presidents that have been maybe. compromised by foreign interests. And foreign adversaries. I want you to know. That's what makes it so, so dangerous right now.

To have him, if in fact he has been talking about it. I just want to get another topic in. We got Martha McCalm, who talked to Admiral Kirby yesterday about this Iranian deal. We're getting six American, Iranian Americans back. We're not sure exactly.

They get six Iranians back, and then we unfreeze $6 billion of their oil money, and we give it to Qatar, and they could only withdraw this money for humanitarian purposes. The president of Iran says that is not true. We could use it any way we want. Here's John Kirby to that cut 22. I want to go back on what Matt Miller at the State Department said.

It's not just $6 billion that Iranians are just going to be able to write checks to whenever they want. Matt was right. They can only use this money for humanitarian purposes, and we will have the ability to stop transactions if we don't think they're going in the right direction.

Well, the president of Iran didn't think that you just heard him. He said, we'll use that money however we want. Yeah, he's wrong. I mean, I don't know how else to put it. He's just wrong.

That's not the way the deal has been structured, and that's not the way. Way these funds are going to get dispersed. Congressman, you're on Armed Services Committee. You're privy to a lot of information. Do you think Iran is going to be buying, I don't know, MREs for their people and putting up dormers for those in working-class neighborhoods?

What's going on?

Well, look, look, I'm sure that Iran also has humanitarian expenses, all right? And all they have to do is just substitute. What they were going to use for humanitarian expenses and say, well, I'm going to use this money for here. I'm going to buy food for this neighborhood, et cetera, et cetera. And then it fits the bill, but that means that there's $6 billion that are free that were going to go to for humanitarian purposes, right, to do whatever they want.

So all it is is a shell game, really. It's a bait and switch. And they can do that very, very easily. And so, yeah, in the end, The Iranians are right. They're going to use that six billion however they want to.

All they need to do is basically launch it. Do you like this deal? Do you like this deal? Yeah, exactly. Do you like it?

Do I like it? No, heck no. No. Are you kidding me?

You know, all you're doing is you're incentivizing more of this kind of behavior.

Okay, go ahead and kidnap a couple of Americans. Yeah, and then we're going to get paid for it. And oh, by the way, we can get some of our own assets back. From America, probably assets that are worth a lot more. And we just got to stop that.

It's horrible. And we got to stop Iranian Americans from going back home because they just got to say: if you go back home, we're not going to bail you out. You're going to go right to prison. They're going to use you as a pawn. We're not getting you out.

Because a lot of these people are visiting their family. And are they crazy?

Meanwhile, yeah, they should. They should look. Just know you're on your own if you go back.

Well, I think you're right. And then, look, we already know what they're going to do. If you go back now, you're on your own because you already know. All right, this is not something new. This is something they've been doing.

This is a risk that you're taking, and the American people shouldn't be the ones that have to pay for it. Just real quick, the President of the United States in Hanoi, Vietnam, was asked about his relations with China. Even though we're lacing up all our allies who are anti-China too, don't look into it. Nothing to see here. Listen.

Really, what this trip is about. It was less about containing China. I I I don't want to contain China. I just want to make sure we have a relationship with China that is on the up and up, squared away.

Okay, well why don't we just admit we're trying to contain China? We're stopping them from getting certain metals and items that are going to foment and push forward their high-tech industry. We understand they're trying they're buzzing our planes and cutting off our ships. They're hacking into our government officials. Why do we have this timid stance?

Because that's Joe Biden, and that's been Joe Biden for 40 years. He's been wrong on every single foreign policy measure for the last 40 years. What makes you think that he's going to be right now? What makes the American people think that just because he's president, he was going to be he's now going to turn around and be right on foreign policy? He's been wrong for 40 years.

He continues to be wrong. He shows he doesn't believe in strength. He believes in kowtowing, and he believes that, that's how you get what you want, but in fact, you get nothing. The only way that you get anything in this world is by showing strength. You don't have to be a bully, but you have to be strong in your convictions.

And yes, we have the power to back it up. He shows none of that, has never shown any of that. And by the way, you got to go back to question number one. Is this President compromised? We know that Hunter Biden got sweetheart deals from the Chinese.

Do they have something on this President? Because he talks tough. He really does sometimes, you know. But when you really look at his actions, never look, never hear, never listen to what he says. Always watch what he's doing.

And usually what he's doing is opposite of what he's saying he's doing. Uh and so yeah. Um, you know, that that by the way, in front of those those allies, I I mean, I was at the I just came back from from a trip to to the Far East, to Japan to You know, the Philippines, Taiwan, et cetera. And they've woken up to what China is and the threat that China poses. And so for now the the United States and we're there telling them, hey, this is a threat.

And so now the President of the United States says, no, it's not a big deal. They're not a big threat. I mean, it just sends mixed messages to them that kind of confuses them. But they're not confused, they know what China is. And they know the threat it poses to themselves.

All right. Congressman, thanks so much. Appreciate it. Congressman Carlos Jimenez of Florida. Thank you, sir.

No, thank you, Brian. Have a good one. You got it. When we come back, Martha McCallum be in the studio. And of course, we'll try to squeeze in some of your calls.

The good news is that escaped convict in Pennsylvania. We got him. Sadly he's alive. Back in a moment. How do you Expanding your knowledge base.

It's the Brian Killmeat Show. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead. We will get to expand our subpoena powers and also, I believe, it'll give us easier access to tackling Joe Biden's bank records. I mean, look, Joe Biden could have opened a bakery in Beijing with as much dough as he and Hunter received from Communist China.

I mean, children and grandchildren had a lot of money from Communist China. And if he did nothing wrong, if he didn't sell out his country, then he should give us the bank records and we wouldn't have to do it this way. Kellyanne Conway, obviously, talking about the impeachment inquiry. Martha McCallum here. Martha, were you surprised Kev McCarthy made it real obvious, real quick, first day back?

We're doing this.

Well, he's walking a very fine line. He has a number of his Republicans in the House who are very determined to do this. And then he's got people who are determined not to do it. I think it's a very difficult road to walk. I think he's done better than most people thought he could at navigating all of this.

And this is a big hill for him to climb. I do think that there's enough evidence certainly to open this inquiry. But I think, like a lot of people, you wonder how many times are we going to go back down this impeachment road? And at some point, does one side or the other say this is not, you know, this isn't. This isn't great for the country.

But I'm not saying there's not enough evidence to have an inquiry. I think there absolutely is. If Joe Biden wasn't running in 2024, I think it's a different conversation. I think at the very least they're saying you should know who you're voting for. And you should know what he was up to.

And you should know that that might affect his foreign policy and might have affected his foreign policy. And he looked into that camera and told you the laptop wasn't real and he knew it was his son. He told you flat out that he knew nothing about his son's overseas business dealings. And then he's involved.

Now it says he wasn't involved, but he knew about it. Then he's sitting there for two hours at a dinner with international executives, prisma executives, and then we have him. 5,000 emails going back and forth with foreign countries. with his son sees on him. With a pseudonym.

If you knew that, would you have voted the same way? Just as a quick aside here, I spoke with Sam Patton yesterday. He's one of two people, he and Rick Gates, who pled guilty in the Mueller investigation, right? He had worked overseas a lot, worked in a couple of U.S. Senate offices for Maine senators, Georgetown, came up through the whole Washington Record, worked in Russia, worked in other countries, helping countries get on their feet with their democracy, right?

Ended up caught up in the Mueller investigation, pleads guilty to a FARA violation. I said, well, what do you think about Hunter Biden's situation? He said, well, he absolutely should be investigated for FARA. He said, and the other thing I would mention, and he was very diplomatic. He's like, I don't, his case will have to be evaluated.

But he said, I'll tell you one thing, the woman in Russia that he spoke to, the Moscow mayor's wife, he said, there's no one more corrupt than that woman. I have no idea why he took millions of dollars from her. And he knows these people. Martha's sticking around. David Ignatius wrote a Washington Post column.

It is not just any column. in a moment. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. This combination of Joe Biden at the top of the ticket and the polls show people feel uneasy about somebody who's 82 serving another four-year term.

The combination of that and people's uneasiness is reflected in polls about the vice president succeeding him. Time is running out. In another month, it's going to be too late to have this conversation.

So I thought before it was locked in stone, it was worth at least raising. Dave Ignatius, foreign policy expert, very noted author, Washington Post columnist. Who has sat a long time with Joe Biden, probably known him for 50 years, said, Great job. You were there at the right prime. Donald Trump is evil and bad and dangerous.

Bottom line is, Harris is not popular. You're not popular. You're old. You gotta go. He did it much nicer?

But that was it. Martha, you came in and you said this to me. I read this alone. You know, when you get a story and it's three in the morning and we're going, whoa, wait a second. This is big.

There are sort of sea change moments in political Election cycles, right? I See this as one of them. I think this is a very significant moment, and you have to wonder. David Ignatius is very well respected. He has been around a long time.

He marches to his own drummer. He doesn't need anybody's okay to write something like this.

However, it would not surprise me if some of his voices that he listens to said. Or even potentially voices within the administration or people who are close to this whole situation on the election campaign. I don't know if this is what happened. But I think there's momentum building towards saying this, right? Look at what Jim Carville has said.

Look at what David Axelrod has said. Other people are piping up and saying that this moment needs to be considered. You have to wonder if President Biden isn't also, you know, looking for the opportunity to say, I have served. He said in the campaign, I want to be a bridge to the future. Because he was challenged on his age back then.

He said, I'm a bridge to the future.

Now, the problem is, who's the future? That's their big problem. And Ignatius, right, but it isn't.

So he's in a conundrum. And Essentially, Ignatius is saying, doesn't matter, we got to throw the chessboard up in the air. I thought it was what really made my jaw drop reading that editorial was when he got around to Harris. He said, She has to go too. I mean, he could be saying, we need to back her.

People need to support her. Uh-uh. He says, She needs to go too. They both need to move aside.

So Biden has never been good at saying no. He should have resisted the choice of Harris, who was a colleague of his beloved son, Bo, when they were both state attorney generals. He should have blocked former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, which was done considerable damage to the island's security. He should have stopped his son Hunter from joining the board of Ukraine's gas company and representing companies in China. He should certainly have resisted Hunter's attempt to impress clients by getting dad on the phone.

Now, he's looking at that as a pot. He doesn't look at it as the fact that he was going to bat for his family and he knew all about it. But at the very least, this is him saying, never should have picked Harris. He goes, she has skills, but she's not impressed anybody in the Democratic Party.

Now, we watched over the weekend with Margaret Brennan. I mean, that was that was one of the worst interviews. He cheated great. And she was prepared to get answers, and she got none. That was an opportunity for her.

to show her so show what she knew. Kamala Harris is also in a very difficult spot right now, right? I mean, she is. Can you imagine what the tension is like between these camps in the White House at this point? Because he may have to run again because she didn't step up to the plate, in his opinion, and she feels like they have stepped all over her and made her look bad and haven't done anything to elevate her.

You're right. She had a nice opportunity there with Margaret Brennan. But I think at the same time, she's thinking in her head, well, if I'm too forward about my ability to run things, I'm going to catch heat from the Oval Office when I get back after this interview.

So there's a lot of bad feeling energy around all of this. And their problem is if they don't have a clear person that they can look to. But I think Ignatius is very bold here, obviously. And when you look at the option of saying, we're going to throw this chessboard up in the air and see what happens, this is how democracy functions. And you know what?

Democracy chose Joe Biden. Democracy chose Donald Trump. You know, when people on both sides said these are not going to be the candidates the first time around, right?

So we will see what happens. It seems like everybody agrees. Chuck Todd, Margaret Brennan, they use the word threat. Do you not take the threat of Donald Trump seriously? Chuck Todd.

Can the country survive another Trump term? Wow. Can we survive another Biden? Do you think that? He would say, do you think we could survive another Biden term?

I mean, if you look at what has happened over the last two and a half years, can we survive this? And The way they say it's like the commentators have checked out. And factor that in. The letter that went out yesterday from Ian Sams in the White House. To members of the media.

To really hold the screws to the Republican Party who are trying to impeach this president and get some answers, really?

So the White House publicly writes a letter, I guess maybe it wasn't supposed to be public, and says, do your job for us, not for the country. Try to get on the Republicans.

Well, you know, from a White House communications perspective, I can understand why they would say that. That's the effort that they would make, working on behalf of the President of the United States. They're under an enormous amount of pressure. I mean, he wasn't at any site for 9/11. They had to back, you know, peddle that whole situation.

I talked to John Kirby yesterday, asking him: obviously, that's a deliberate decision. To not be at one of the sites because you're the first president who's not there.

So tell me what went into that decision, right? They're getting hit from all sides on the border. You know, you got 146 people who are on the terror watch list, who've crossed the border. They're getting hit from all sides. Ian Sampson's job is to frame the communications, but the media's job is different.

The media's job is to, you know, glance at that memo and say, okay, I got to cover this story. And there is a lot of evidence in this potential impeachment case, and it is incumbent on reporters and journalists across this country to dig into it and not be embarrassed again like they were on Russia Collusion, where they bought the narrative, hook, line, and sinker.

So let's see if they can step up. You ran through the pressure that they're under. But it's everything that they cost. If you score in your own goal, there's pressure on you to get the equalizer. I didn't score in your goal.

You scored in your own goal.

So The fact is you're desperate and have to do desperate things and go for long balls who you wouldn't have bring your goalie out to take caught to join to the corner kick offense. They broke the border. They chose not to be in country on nine eleven. They chose not to go to the previous summit. You know, you chose Kamala Harris.

So, yeah, you're under pressure. But this wasn't a natural disaster. This wasn't an earthquake. This wasn't even 9-11 where intelligence under the Clinton years was heating up. You had the job for eight months and it went down.

You could go, you know, it's unfortunate a little bit. You didn't stop it in eight months. You didn't really answer the call. But this is all decisions that you make, and now you want everyone to say, I'm great, and the economy's great. Not really.

They don't feel it. No, they do. It's just bad publicity. No, not really. It's not great.

And now he's going to run for president. With Gavin Newsome as a surrogate, Governor Pritzker as a surrogate, Governor Shapiro as a surrogate, and I I guess Granholm or other people that he likes to Mayor Pete. He's not going to be out. I wouldn't this is gonna be the um most unique So you think Biden stays in and you think he's the nominee? It changed.

I mean, when I read this, if you asked me yesterday, this weekend. If you asked me yesterday, I was thinking. Yeah, he'll he'll dig it out because I think he wants to clear his name. I think he's worried about the inquiry. I think that he wants to get in there and make sure Hunter gets his pardon and the inquiry stops and the Republicans overstep and lose the House.

I think that he tries and I think he tries for that. But then when this Dave Ignatius thing comes and you put the case forward like you just put forward, Because I read that in a vacuum. And I was bringing that up to our producers in the morning, and they said, Yeah, is that how big a deal is that? I go, I think it's big, but. to talk to you about it and you have that perspective.

And did hear Dave Dinations talk about it on MSNBC? Wow. 'Cause what he said today, David Nation said this morning, is every single person is talking about this at their dinner table across the country. Saying that he's too old. I do.

So it's not like he's coming out of, you know, pulling this out of his hat. He this is the conversation. I mean, go anywhere across the country. And the conversation a few months ago was, oh, he's not going to run again. I remember Ari Fleischer on my show months ago.

Hello? Joe Biden is not running for president again. And I have him on today, and I'm going to see what he says. Oh, yeah. But the midterms changed that.

Yes, but it you know It doesn't change his, and I don't like to focus on his age. I just like to focus on his performance because age is just a number.

Some people function incredibly well at 85, 86, 90, right?

Some people function differently. You know, he's had a lot of health challenges, he's had a lot of trauma in his life. I don't know what his, you know, telomere age is, but you know, it just varies from person to person. And I would love to know what's going on in the heart of the president today as he looks at this situation and says, What is best for the country? This is what bothers me.

We don't see people stepping aside. You could say this about Senator McConnell as well. You know, everyone has pride, everyone wants to do their job, but we don't see statesman-like decisions happening in this country lately where someone says, You know what? I love my job. I love serving.

But what is best for my country is for me to pull myself out of the situation. And we don't see that as much as we should. I think. Senator Feinstein, who has dementia, why we don't say that? You have to be willing to allow.

The cause, the country, and service to be bigger than your own ego sometimes. And yeah, some of these people are making a different choice.

So, Martha. If I'm eighty. And I'm not as good I I'm a great host now. If I'm not as good Can we make a pact? You'll come in on a break and say, It's time for you to go.

Would you tap me? Because I'll be the last to realize that I've lost my fastball. Sure, absolutely. It's a pact. Will you do it for me too?

Yes. Like Mick Jagger, right? Like, Mick, do you really want to go back out there again tonight? And he says yes. He says, you know what?

I think it's fantastic that we live in a time where people are staying healthy longer and staying in their jobs longer. I think to work is one of the most, yeah, I'm not looking forward to retirement. I love working. I know you love working, but you're right. I mean, we all, everyone at some point does have to, you know, turn to your family, turn to yourself, turn to God, whoever you speak to about these things and say, you know, what's the right thing for me to do?

Back in a moment. Diving deep into today's top stories, it's Brian Kilmead. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. Protection breaks down and time runs out.

Down goes Rogers and the sack for Leonard Floyd. The former first-round pick of the Bears, and now Rogers sits down. A loss of 10 on the play, and hopefully, the Jets are thinking that's the only loss on that play. And he's coming out of the game. And he did.

And he'll never going to go back in this season. Torn Achilles tendon. We're never going to forget this. I don't care where you are, a mild sports fan, a jet hater. Nobody wanted to see that, Martha McCallum.

Your thoughts watching it growing up a Jet fan? I just couldn't believe my eyes. I mean, I was like everybody else. My jaw was on the floor. I saw, you know, and the build-up, right?

This hard knock season, you watch the relationships building between Wilson and Aaron Rodgers, and you see him taking Zach Wilson under his arm and talking to him about technique and the nice relationship that they were able to build, which is going to be pretty important, I think, going forward. And then he runs out there with the flag. It's September 11th in New York. Incredible moment. Moving moment.

83,000. 83,000 people. I mean, usually the Jets have to pull people off the sidewalk. Would you like to go see some football? Monday night football.

Unbelievable Monday night football, right? And he goes down, and I was watching him. Then, when he went down on his butt with his knees in front of him, I'm thinking, oh no, there's something wrong here. And I remember you saying, you said, when you're Achilles tears, I hope I never understand this feeling. You said it gives out eventually, the Achilles, right?

It's got miles. And it rolls up into your heel. It's like if you break a rubber band. And I thought, if that's the case, He knew. You don't that you feel that you know when something snaps in the back of your heel calf area, you're gonna know.

So, I my heart is broken for him. I think he really wanted to build these relationships. I think he had rallied the team in such a great way. It takes that kind of leadership, but that's why we watch the sport, right? I mean, you just never know what's going to happen, but this is such a heartbreaker of such magnitude.

I was hoping he was going to become Broadway Aaron, like Broadway Joe, you know, a really fun character to have around New York. And tough, tough, tough, tough, tough. He was at the U.S. Open. Oh, yeah.

He was at the Knick Games, you know, going to the Taylor Swift concerts. I know. Here's a little Stephen A. Smith last night, cut 30. It's devastating.

This is a team that hasn't been in the playoffs in 12 years, hasn't won a division title since 2002, hasn't been in the Super Bowl since 1968 for crying out loud when Joe Namitz was wearing tight shorts. That's how far back they go. And when you consider that the biggest test of very good. That's right. When you consider that Benny Tessa Berdi got hurt first game, 1999, if I remember correctly, Chad Pennington got hurt.

I mean, this is the best chance that they've had in quite a long time. Even when they went to AFC Championship games under Rex Ryan or Bill Parcells, you didn't think they had the kind of chance that they had this year.

So it's just devastating. All their hope.

So you get an easy, he's great, Stephen A. Smith. But listen, they won. They did win. Thank you.

And the guy that ran back. The punt for the victory in overtime. Undrafted rookie who the Jets said, I'm holding on to him. And he said, The coach believes me. That coach is special, too.

He is special. And, you know, Zach Wilson didn't have the best game. But let's face facts. He had no anticipation of being on that field that night. He's rocked like everybody else is rocked by what happened.

He knows he's going to about to be put in. But, you know, I talked to Jared Max yesterday. He said people he spoke to about Zach Wilson say they're seeing a different Zach Wilson.

So I'm wondering in the world of how these things work and psyche, maybe Aaron Rodgers is brought in to sort of give Zach Wilson the confidence that he needs and maybe he will have a great season.

So I'm an eternally hopeful Jets watcher and we'll see what happens. And Martha, you just see when the surgery happens, if he can come back, some people have said that you can come back in six months. Kobe Bryant. That's right. And then you say, well, Kobe Bryant is going to be a good one.

Do you have that amazing surgeon that those two guys had? You better get it. I hope so. And the other thing is, so you say, well, Kobe Bryant's an elite athlete.

So is Aaron Rodgers? Absolutely. We'll see where that goes. Who's going to be on your show?

So, you know, obviously. We have Ari Fleischer. We're going to talk about this David Ignatius piece. Ari Fleischer is coming up. Jason Smith, Congressman Jason Smith of the Ways and Means Committee, because this is the first time we're going to hear from the White House in a press briefing about their reaction to this impeachment move, the impeachment inquiry move by Kevin McCarthy.

So we've got a lot to talk about today. Nicky Haley, also joining us today.

So listen to this story. Pete, this happened in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Obviously, Aaron Rodgers, people are bitter that he left.

Some are glad, some are bitter.

So tell us what happened.

So there was a bar in Milwaukee that was offering free drinks to all the patrons if the Jets lost.

Now, Aaron Rodgers goes down. There's apparently a whole bunch of the patrons. And they travel at halftime. This cheering, so what happens? They run up their tabs at the end of the day at the end of the evening, they're all on the hook for these extraordinarily high tabs.

That is awesome. Oh, I mean, I kind of know how they feel. I felt that way when Tom Brady left the Patriots. You know, you just feel hurt.

So, Gary Myers, who is on the Hall of Fame committee and he writes for the NFL for 30 years. Said why not Tom Brady? Why can't he come back? He maybe still would want to play in the East again. Or Kaepernick's people reached out to see if the Jets were interested.

You know what? I I think we give Zach Wilson a chance. I really do. I mean, it y apropos of our prior conversation, sometimes, you know, it's time for some new fresh blood in the game, and I would like to see Zach Wilson succeed. I would too.

After Trevor Lawrence, he was the next quarterback taken. And people said he's a can't miss, just whether you want a guy that's not as big. And all of a sudden, he was missing. And we'll see if he can come back. Martha McCallum, do you mind if I watch today after a coffee?

I hope you will. All right. Thank you, Brian. Thanks so much for listening, Brian. Kill me, Joe.
