Border surge raises concerns about terrorism, infiltration

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

So glad you're here at the bottom of the hour. Brett Baer will be here, best-selling author. His new book, To Rescue the Constitution, is doing extremely well. He was out at the Reagan Library, Nixon Library. But most importantly, he'll be with us.

Ronna McDaniel in studio, the RNC chairwoman. It's going to be great to talk to her in a matter of moments. Ron, great to see you. Great to see you. Great to be here.

All right, so there's so much going on right now. We're also waiting for Anthony Blinken to come out and basically answer some questions about what it was like in this war meeting with the Israelis, meeting with the Prime Minister and the President. The word is he wants a He wants a pause. I think that would be a huge mistake. Let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. Stop touching your head. James! James!

Shit! Stop touching me. Do you not stand for what you believe? Why don't you want to become? That's a Jewish Harvard student being attacked because he was trying to stop people from taking down hostage pictures.

Are these people ignorant or just idiots? You make the call after a pressler of protests yesterday, today, and tomorrow, supposed to be the biggest of all for the Palestinians/slash Hamas. What planet are we on? Number two. Do you believe the United States is safer from foreign terror threats today?

Are we safer than when Joe Biden took office? The threats are very different today than they were a number of years ago. They were very different today than they were three weeks ago. Unbelievable. Mayork is so over his head.

The border surge not only overwhelming cities and schools, but now the FBI is alarmed about the number of high-value aliens loose in the nation. Number So a pause does not help Hamas. A temporary pause that's localized, that would allow us to get aid in and to get our people out, is a good thing for the people of Gaza. It's a good thing for the Americans that are being held hostage. Admiral Kirby knows better, but he says it anyway.

Israel at war. Pressure to pause, operations grow as they now have Gaza city surrounded. I say kill the pause and kill off Hamas now, as Hezbollah is about to announce their game plan. Will there be a northern front in the southern part of Lebanon? Ronna, though, the world's on fire.

It's on fire, and it's because we have weak leadership. When we have a weak leader, the world is less safe. Biden is weak. He's projected that since Afghanistan. We saw it with Russia with taking the sanctions off of Nord Stream 2.

We've watched China emerge. We've watched our southern border explode. And now we've seen what's happening in the Middle East. And the world is watching Joe Biden, and they know we can take advantage of a very weak president. Right.

And it's Iran is the problem. People in the Middle East know this. They know it. You know, Brian, I went to Saudi Arabia this year with the Republican Jewish Coalition. I went to Bahrain and Israel to celebrate the Abraham Accords.

They were incredibly enthusiastic about the progress they were seeing with the Muslim and Israel, Muslim nations in Israel, with the Abraham Accords. And they've seen that stripped away with Biden. Not only did he get back into the Iran deal and give them $6 billion, but he pulled away the sanctions.

So they've made so much money on oil as he's killed our own energy independence. Funded Hamas essentially by taking giving Iran their money back.

So, it's so interesting today as we look at the party of politics. The Republicans, I remember back in were you a chairperson when McCain you were not chair. No, so I know it feels like I've been here forever, but I wasn't there.

So, McCain famously gets the nomination because he supported the surge. Right. But by the time he has the nomination, it becomes about the collapsing economy. Correct. Things broke in Barack Obama's way because, to his credit, he was all over Hank Paulson, calling him every day, trying to figure this out.

He looked, he actually performed better. This is coming, you know. Trump says, look at my foreign policy. I'm willing to run on that. And then Nikki Haley says, Look at my relationships.

I'm looking to run on that. I know these people. I know these players.

So both of them have pretty strong report cards. The governor, everyone's saying, Oh, you served, Governor DeSantis, you served over there, but you don't necessarily have the international experience yet. Yeah, I think, one, our bench is so much better than Biden. And you look at everything that's happening in the world. I mean, do you feel more safe?

Do you feel economically safe? Do you feel like your streets are safe? Do you feel like your kids are safe? At every single level, this country is less safe under Biden. And then you look at Trump and Haley and DeSantis.

I have to be careful, Tim Scott, all of the candidates. Tim Scott will make a lot of money. He's made the stage, by the way. I think he's going to make the stage, yeah. Because he said yesterday he's going to be on the stage, but I haven't seen confirmation.

He has submitted all the criteria, so we're going through that right now.

So, how many will be on there? I think there'll be five, but I'm going to knock on wood because Bergham hasn't submitted his criteria yet.

So They have to get what for percentage? They have to get 4% in one national poll and two state polls, or 4% in two national polls, and then they have to be at 80,000 or 70,000 for small dollar donations. And you have no idea where the governor of North Dakota is? I do not. He has not submitted his criteria to us yet.

He is up until Monday to do so, and so we'll know if he makes the debate stage then. Do you think that you're still a candidate if you don't make the debate stage? I think it's hard. I think it's hard to have that breakout moment. And that's not our goal.

You obviously can still run. Making the debate stage doesn't preclude you from getting on a ballot and running in certain states. But I do think it makes it harder to get your message out. What have uh what have the conversations with President Trump been like?

Well, he's not going to do the debates. You know, there's no way. And it hasn't hurt him. He doesn't want you to do the debates. No, he doesn't want me to do the debates.

The thing is, is if the RNC said we're going to stop debates, debates, there'd be more debates. Everybody would just negotiate directly with the networks. Yeah. There'd be part of the reason we did this is because in 2012, there were so many debates. There was a debate every other day from all these different organizations sponsoring debates, and it precluded the candidates from campaigning.

So we took control so that there weren't 30 debates heading into the primary. But if we said, oh, we're going to stop debates, there'd be five more this month or five more in December. Right. And do you have you decided on New Hampshire date yet? We have not, but we're working on it.

We've got probably an Iowa debate and a New Hampshire debate.

So it should be interesting to see.

So the story over the last 22 days prior to last week was the fracture of the Republican Party. And they looked at the House and they just said, what are you doing? Republicans were saying that, like Mike McCall. Within a matter of days, people are saying, what's going on with the Democrats? You see Josh Gottheimer almost get into it with a congressman from Indiana.

You see the squad famously condemning President Biden for taking the side of the Israelis. What has it been like for you watching this? And does it remind you of anything? It does. I mean, I do think there's a fissure in their party.

And we've watched this happen as they've allowed this anti-Semitic wing to grow within their party. They've nurtured it. They've said, we're going to have our cake and eat it too. We're going to court Jewish Americans, but we're also going to court this Hamas pro anti-Israel part of our party. The Republican Party doesn't do that.

We have been very pro-Israel. You're not seeing that division in our party. You've seen the House pass funding for Israel yesterday. with 12 Democrat votes. But I think Biden is in a pickle on this, and he's having this fissure within his party.

It's very real. The most fascinating thing, I think, for the political side and for our national security, first and foremost, is what's happening at the border.

Well, it's not Republicans saying I'd be tougher on the border, it is Democratic mayors. They went down to see the president, actually didn't meet with the president. They just went down to the White House to meet with officials about how to get more money for the illegals that are laying in their streets. I want you to hear Mayor Brandon Johnson, this mayor who's been an epic fail so far, Cut 23. 150 buses alone have showed up since the month in the month of October.

Since I've been in office, we've had over 350 buses just show up in this short period of time. And so as we continue to stand up more shelters, we're going to need the federal government to lean in to help provide the support for the people who are seeking asylum here. And he went on to say this, Cut 24.

So we have to ask ourselves what's different about those who were seeking refuge in this country from the Ukraine versus those individuals who are seeking asylum from Venezuela. What we have to keep in mind in this moment is that that the the failures of of systems of oppression for decades now. um have have helped caused and create the type of political tension that that unfortunately exists today. What does that even mean? I don't even know what that means.

I know they like to say we're an oppressive country, which is how do you explain everyone coming here? Yeah, I mean, let's just not forget. Biden on the debate stage said, I'm going to open the border. I mean, he's doing what he said he was going to do. This was part of his process, but he did say it.

And all these mayors, remember, they were sanctuary city mayors, come to our city. And what they're realizing is, and I'm in New York right now. I just saw this on the streets of New York. They don't have the resources to take care of this influx of migrants and take care of the people in their own city. They just can't do it.

You can't provide the health care. You can't provide the education, the jobs. People are suffering. And, you know, if you go to McAllen, Texas, and Hidalgo County and you talk to a border patrol agent or you talk to people from those communities, they'll say the same thing. Our hospitals are overwhelmed.

Our schools are overwhelmed. We don't have the money. The government is flooding our borders. And we can control this because we did it under President Trump.

Well, what is the political reason why he would take so many hits like this that hurt so many people that are in the Cities that are hurting Democrats. I don't understand it. I don't understand it. I know there's some who are saying, well, they're putting them in states so that they can get votes, right? It's going to take forever for them to vote.

And the Hispanic vote's been trending towards you, guys. And that's why we're opening Hispanic community centers as well. Because by the way, people who are coming to America, they love America, a lot of these people. They're fleeing communism and terrible governments. But the fentanyl that's coming, now we have Chinese people coming across.

You've got people from all these different countries coming across, terrorists coming across. Biden. Is doing, he's turning his back on this, so is Mayorkis. It's intentional. This is a problem that could be fixed, and he's choosing not to be.

Right. I want you, Governor Chris Anuna is with me, and we're talking about New Hampshire and where he's governor for now, but he's not, he's going to just stop running, I guess. Joe Biden is giving up on New Hampshire, and his whole party says basically, if you run in New Hampshire, you're a racist. Cut 30. Here's a news flaster, Joe Biden.

Nobody cares. Like, nobody really cares that Joe Biden is not on the ballot here. They've got some giant clamoring wing of the Democrat Party. I wish I could vote for you. find it in the New Hampshire primary.

They're moving on. They've given up on them. They're moving on. I think Dean Phillips has a huge opportunity here to just crack the Democrat Party wide open. You have to look at the opposition.

Do you think that this could be a bigger deal than just a congressman from Minnesota running against the sitting president? I mean, they changed their primary calendar, so New Hampshire is not going to have their delegates seated, right? Biden came in fifth in 2020 in New Hampshire. He left before the vote came. Yeah, he left.

I mean, he walked away from New Hampshire because he was weak there to begin with. And the DNC has said, okay, we're going to change the whole calendar to favor our incumbent president.

So they put South Carolina first.

So I don't think this is going to affect him getting the nomination, and I don't think it's going to hurt him in his party. We come back more around a McDaniel. Also, in Colorado, they're pushing to make the former president ineligible. Will they be successful? What would that mean for everybody?

This is Brian Kilmead Show. Don't move. Diving deep into today's top stories. It's Brian Kilmead. On October 28th, Matthew Perry, who will forever be remembered for his portrayal of the lovable and wise craft.

Chandler Bing on Friends was found dead in his Los Angeles area home. Matthew was arguably one of the biggest actors in the late 90s and early 2000s, but his rise to Hollywood stardom was not easy. From struggles with alcohol and drug addiction to feelings of loneliness and isolation. But in the days before his death Perry was in good spirits. By all accounts, the actor was the happiest he's ever been and had decided to devote his life to helping others.

So what happened? We're examining the final moments of Matthew Perry's life in the latest episode of The Last Days Podcast. Last Days Matthew Perry. Available now on Apple, Spotify, and all podcast platforms. From the Fox News Podcasts Network.

Our military should be focused on lethality, not all of the social challenges. That has been brought into the military by this president. Focusing back on lethality, eliminating the current debate over abortion, is something the president of the United States can do right this very moment on his own. No action from Congress. Just do what the law says.

All right, so you're with Tuberville? Yeah. He is right on his issue.

So, but he's causing a fracture in the Republican Party by standing up and saying no nominations, no promotions, Senator Tommy Temperville from Alabama, until you change the rule that allows people to use taxpayer money to get abortions if you're in the military. It's Lindsey Graham, Michael McCall. Many other city, Mitch McConnell, are all against what Tuberville is doing. With me right now in studio, Rhonda McDaniel, RNC chairwoman. Rhonda, is Tuberville doing the right thing?

And Joni Ernst, too. Listen, I know he's doing it from principle. He believes that. Yeah, Joni Ernst is where Mitch is. I do think in this time and place, we have to have our military leaders in place.

I think we've got to move forward. And I understand what he's saying: that the military is doing the wrong thing and creating a policy on abortion that they shouldn't be. That's fine, but maybe this isn't the right way to handle it.

So do you feel like the party's paying a political price for that? Because you're usually so strong militarily?

Well, it's hard when you have your own party divided on it.

So I wish they would resolve it behind closed doors, go caucus, figure it out, come out with a solution, and let's make sure we get our military leaders in place. Governor Ron DeSantis, people thought he was going to give a real run at the former president. What's been the problem with that campaign?

Well, I think there haven't been votes yet, so let's see what happens in Iowa. You know, I think it's hard when you're going up against President Trump. It's hard. I mean, it's a former president. We're in uncharted waters, right, with a former president running for president.

He has a huge base. But I'll say something else. If you've looked at history, people who've run before usually get the nomination because they understand the delegate game. They understand how to work with the state parties. They understand all these things.

And Trump has a very strong team on that front. And how do you, what's been the biggest surprise about how he's been performing? Up 30 points in almost every state poll, national poll. I have to be so neutral. I have to be careful here.

I think they're all great. Did the dynamics change when Alvin Bragg came out with the indictment, or do you think there was a different moment when it became pretty clear that he was going to have a lot of power? Because after 2022, Most people said a lot of his candidates did not do well. And they thought he was damaged. And that's why a lot of people got in.

I definitely think people are frustrated with the two-tiered system of justice, and they feel like President Trump, not just this, but from the beginning of his presidency with the Russia collusion, the Mueller investigation, all the things we now know were not true, things that he had to deal with that really hurt him. Remember, the Republican House started an investigation on him on Russia collusion. His own party did when he was president. It definitely thwarted his agenda. And we now, though, now that it was based on a fake dossier, that the Democrats were meddling in that campaign.

So I think there's a frustration. I hear it all the time across the country, the things he's had to deal with. And then you add the Bragg indictment on that, and they just think it's wrong. I I don't know where exactly. You come in with the fundraising, but Kev McCarthy was a monster fundraiser.

He was a monster. And there's really no track record for Mike Johnson yet. What do you do to make up for the fact that the Democrats not into their 50-50 chance of taking back the House? And you've been behind the eight ball. Yeah, I'm sad about what's happened with Kevin.

I like Mike Johnson a lot, but Kevin was a prolific fundraiser. Not only that, he recruited really great candidates that were right for the 70% of everybody in the House he put in. Yeah, and he and I worked with him. You know, after 2018, remember, Paul Ryan stepped away from the speakership before the midterm. Very damaging.

Before the midterm, right? It hurt us financially. I love Paul, but it hurt us a lot. And then Kevin came in and got right on the ball with recruitment. We picked up 15 seats in 2020 in a presidential year in California, New York.

So Mike's going to do great. I think there's a lot of appetite to keep the House, and I think I'll help him. Kevin's going to help him. I think we all want to make sure that we keep the house. Will Kevin help?

I think Kevin absolutely will help. He's a team player.

So, Rana. What role does the RNC have in raising money as opposed to the House just raising money for themselves?

Well, the House, Kevin can raise money into an arm where he can take a $10 million check. I can't. I'm capped at $400,000.

So we have different vehicles in ways that we can raise money.

So you'll pick your spots in a place like New York and say, okay, I'm going to put my money here. I'm going to put my money in California to make sure we maybe flip this seat or keep ISA where he is. Yeah, we're prohibited. We don't have the same capacity that Kevin has through CLF and Mitch has through SLF. But I will say this, this Bank Your Vote initiative that we've launched to really educate and get our voters on board with voting by mail and voting early is going to be a game changer.

And what do you think it's going to do for Virginia? Governor Junckin's really led on that. He has.

Now, money is not going to be an issue in Virginia. He's raised a ton of money. He's doing the Bank Your Vote initiative. Honestly, if you're in Virginia right now, every Democrat ad is about abortion. Every Republican ad is about crime.

I still think abortion is going to be the forefront issue in 2024 and our candidates. Candidates have to be able to address this at the end.

Well, how do you address it? You say this is a very tough issue. I understand that it's a personal issue for many voters, but we have to come to a consensus that we need to have common sense limitations: that when a baby feels pain, enough is enough, and we need to have exceptions for rape, life, and incest. That's a line that I think people have trouble countering. Yeah.

I mean, when a baby feels pain, the science has shown us there should be a limitation. Don't use the word ban, use the word limitation. What weak is that? 15.

Okay. Ronnie, get your hands full. It was great talking to you about talking about on the eve of the debate this week. How many on the stage? Five?

Five on the stage, we think. There could be six. NBC. I know it's not Fox, but yeah, NBC debate. We'll be watching.

Wednesday. Thanks. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Killmeat Show. And as you push these railies for humanitarian pauses, Are they just supposed to sit back and let Hamas attack them and attack them and attack them and not Fight back.

We have been Crystal clear that Israel has the right to defend themselves. I mean, my goodness. My goodness, Peter. We're giving them security assistance almost every day. But.

Do we advocate? Pauses by both sides here. temporary, localized, to be able to get Americans out. Be able to get aid in? You betcha we do.

That doesn't mean that we're calling for a general ceasefire. There's a difference, hang on a second, there's a difference. I don't know the difference. General Keene did not know the difference. I give him four stars.

I know he's an admiral, but I think that. What I saw yesterday, Peter did a brilliant job as usual questioning the Admiral, and he had no answers on a thing that he grew up in. He's been in the military for decades. And there's no reason for a pause. They're getting 70 trucks in a day.

And they're getting humanitarian aid in a day. They say the first thing that will happen, those hostages will move if you stop shooting. Brett Baer joins us now, chief political anchor for Fox News. He's all over this story as usual: Anchor Special Report, and his book's now bestseller, George Washington and The Fragile American Experiment. The special's on Fox Nation.

It'll probably be on Fox News, too. Brett, welcome back. Everyone. Brett, I was pretty amazed. It was like a real conversation about stuff that really mattered about the war.

Now we have Anthony Blinken speaking at this moment, so we'll take this in, they'll transcribe it. And I get the sense that he was coming over to tell Benjamin Netanyahu, I'm getting a lot of pressure. The President's losing Muslim support. Give me a pause. What do you think?

Yeah, you know, the interesting thing about what John Kirby said is a pause on both sides.

Well, there is no pause on the Hamas side. There is no pause. You have a Hamas official saying that they're going to continue their. Intifada against Israel, and it's in the charter, but they're saying it publicly, so maybe sometimes you should listen to what. their leaders are saying.

So it wouldn't be a pause on both sides. It would be a pause. On the Israeli side, going after Hamas terrorists. Yes, there is a lot of pressure on the administration because the Democratic Party is split. Uh and I think there is more and more there are more and more of these protests that are tapping into that feeling.

uh as more you know bodies are showing up on T V. I mean, I saw and you saw too, you used to work there. I think it was Durham. They were just sitting in the middle of a busy highway blocking the roads. They lined the bridges.

I watched your show last night. You guys were kind of covering that live. And of course, we had a protest that's supposed to be huge in Washington, D.C. on Saturday. All pro-Palestinian, all pro-Hamas.

Brett, were you taking it back as me? I know Britt was the first night this happened, that there's this anti-Israel hatred towards Jewish people and dislike and disorientation about who's to blame about the violence in the Middle East. Yeah, I do think it's striking. I think increasingly it's not just anti anti-Israel, it's anti-Semitic. And I think The prevalence of that and the fact that it is as big as it is is surprising to even people who.

you know, know it's out there, but it's it's a lot broader and Deeper than we thought it was. Here is this well, this NYU student. Bella uh Ingbar. She was on yesterday talking about what it's like walking around New York right now, Cut 27. Being a Jew at NYU right now is.

Is scary. We are seeing An uptick in anti-Israel protests that are turning anti-Semitic. There are signs that read, Globalize the Intifada, which is a historical call for the extermination of Jews and call for violence against Jews. These are not calls for peace, they are calls for violence, they are calls for the blood of Jews to be spilled. We are hearing chants of gas the Jews, of Hitler was right.

Um And as the granddaughter of of Holocaust survivors, These statements Being thrown around so carelessly and thoughtlessly are extremely harmful, and the spreading of misinformation as well. Contributed both by students and of faculty members. And this is what a lot of people are saying in New York City. NYU is always out of control. They're always purple hair, nose rings, find something wrong with society while getting high while paying your taking $92,000 a year from your parents.

But that I've never thought I'd just hear a random student at an elite university make those statements. Yeah, I think it's truly amazing, and I think it's Been in not just New York. I mean, you're at places that are not traditional blue wave places. that you're seeing some of these protests.

So You know, what what does that go back to uh you know the the college campuses and the tenure and the professors you know, what they're being taught, maybe, but Clearly, it's a PR battle, and the Israelis are trying to get that word out. You know, I've seen some of those images, some of those videos. We can't describe them enough, how horrific and barbaric and Um and how much depravity was in those Actions on October 7th. And some of the clips we've been running, these guys are saying we'll do it again through translation in Arabic. The political wing of Hamas, located outside Gaza, said we plan on doing this again and again.

When this is over, we're going back to do it again.

So everyone says, oh, you know, the Palestinians had a raw deal. Let's work on a two-state solution.

Someone's got to talk to the other side. They have no interest in what people want them to do. Yeah. And listen, I I think that when you say pause, People think, oh, this is a traditional soldier versus soldier thing, where you pause and you actually take a stop and you try to get people out. That's not what is being proposed here and not what the Hamas officials are agreeing to.

And I think people have to listen to what they're saying and what they are writing in their charters. uh before you go after the Israelis. That said, the Israelis are trying hard, Brian. To avoid civilian casualties, they dropped those leaflets, they tried to get people down to the south. of Gaza, they're they're kind of doing a pincher move up in the north.

Uh and You just no one stopped us after 9-11 and said, hey, you need to do a pause going after. Al-Qaeda terrorists. or you need to stop dropping drone bombs on on Al-Qaeda leaders. We did it, and there were civilians killed. But in the wake of nine eleven, we felt justified.

And um I don't know why Israel doesn't get that same nod. Right, I want you to hear what Dick Durbin said. I should say General Dick Durbin, because obviously he has great political and great military instincts. Cut five. Is a ceasefire needed now?

I think it is, at least under in the context of both sides agreeing. For example, the release of those who have been kidnapped should be part of this, immediate release. That should be the beginning of it. an effort should be made to engage in conversation between the Israelis and the Palestinians.

So, General Dick Durbin says this is time for a pause. That's what Joe Biden's dealing with now. Yeah, and I think they're they're changing what they're talking about or how they're talking about it. Clearly, you know, they're very clear moral specific clarity. at the last two, three weeks has has changed a bit.

And you wonder whether that's the political pressure or whether there's a policy shift. That's happening inside.

So you were out at the Reagan Library and Nixon Library talking about. George Washington and the Fragile American Experiment. The aim of the book is to rescue the Constitution, as part of your series. What has the interaction been like? What are people saying to you when you go to these places?

You know, it's really interesting. It fits in. right now, and your book will fit in right now when it comes out. Is it next week, Ryan? Tuesday.

But uh yeah, but you and I will both eventually have specials on the channel, we think. If the war slows down. Maybe, maybe. But um And it's on Fox Nation now, and it's it's really well done. And I'm looking forward to it to broadcast on Fox News.

But there was a lot of interaction about the founding of the country and how important it is to look back and how we almost didn't make it to the starting line. And in dark times, and this is one of those times. it's always good to look back to where we were before, and we've managed as a country to get through some pretty tough stuff. I remember one of the quotes, and I'll just paraphrase if I'm Washington. I think Hamilton was trying to convince him to run for a third term.

He said half the g if I go so if I ran again, half the country would hate me and the other half would love me. I don't know if I want to be a part of that. And party politics started after he left. Do you think that's a cra he's he made a great summation in that? Yeah, and it's in his farewell address, too.

I mean, a real concern about partisanship and political parties and the rise of them, and if you let them burn. Um they will all consume. You know, there's a lot of people who look at our today's politics and realize that the power of political parties has gone out of control. But the basic premise is that it's we the people. We the people is how our government is formed.

And we always have to remember that. It's not Them to us. It's us to them. And it's good to touch base at the beginning to remember that.

So, Brett, where do we get it? I mean, are you going to be, do you have any signings coming up? I've got uh I've got uh I did three weeks. And I'm plugging back in, and in the news world, I'll have. Signings here and there.

You can go to brettbear.com and they'll pop up there, and you can. If I'll be in your neighborhood, I don't do the Brian Kilmead like 700 cities. I don't have that operation, but I will do some signings coming up. And you can get the book anyplace. There are signed copies.

It's doing quite well. And yeah, go to Fox Nation, download it, check it out. And mine comes out, I think it'll be available Sunday on Fox Nation. Allison, maybe we should pull.

Next time you come on, Brett, we're going to have some clips from your special.

Something to look forward to. Nice. Right. And we'll see if maybe one time we could do the Brett and Bryan World Tour. I'm in.

I told you, I'm in. You've got it down to a science. I just need to plug in. That's true. We have the apparatus.

We have the infrastructure. Thanks to Joe Biden. And you have to come on special report sometime when I get on your schedule, maybe from Alaska or something. Right. Know what I was going to do?

I saw the request was for the whole hour. I can't say the whole hour. Right. So, I mean, if you don't mind getting some reporters and maybe a panel, because I can't say that the whole time, I'm so busy. I understand.

You do?

Okay. Sorry, we should have probably handled this behind the scenes.

So why? You got it. Hey, to rescue the Constitution. Pick it up. Brett, we'll watch it tonight.

Very consequential times. We'll see you. You got it. Anthony Blinken's speaking right now, but he's taking questions. I'm going to come back and we'll cue some up, see what he's saying.

Every word matters. It's not one of those boring press conferences where you say, well, they're trying to spin it. Uh people are dying. And in a w in a in a within a half hour They are head of Hezbollah. Yeah.

has an appearance, at which time he could declare war on Israel. This is Brian Kilmeicho. Coming to you on a need-to-know basis, because Mandy you need to know, it's Brian Kilmead. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show.

I don't imagine the Israelis would buy into a pause. I mean, they'll take a tactical local pause if they find hostages and are able to get them out of there. Certainly they'll do that. They've already demonstrated that. But anything much larger than that would be a detriment to them.

And you can imagine they're at the tactical level fighting. If they were to stop right there, they're going to be vulnerable themselves to ambushes by Hamas. I doubt seriously that Hamas would abide by any pause in terms of ceasefire. If they have an opportunity to kill Israeli soldiers, they're going to take advantage of that. It doesn't make a lot of sense.

So General Keene, he was with me this morning, and I don't think there's anybody more respected. And I've asked all these generals and admirals. I'll ask Admiral Chavitas. I'll ask General Petraeus. I'll talk to General McChristo.

You bring up General Keene's name. Everyone just, oh my goodness, what a great guy. What a great leader. What an unbelievable tactician. He actually heads up the Institute of Study of War.

If you want to know what's going on in all hotspots, now, of course, with Hamas.

Now, with Ukraine, you just look up the Institute of Studies for War. That's his context and his analysis.

So he said, he was telling me in the break, Brian, I don't even get it. I don't understand. You want to get humanitarian aid in?

Okay. You got like 80 trucks yesterday of humanitarian aid. Number two, you want to get people out. We got 74 people out yesterday and hundreds from other people. They're going through the gate.

Nobody's bombing the Rafa gate. And number three is you lose the hostages. The hostages move with Hamas and they regroup and they rearm. Why not let them fight their war?

Now, I heard this analysis yesterday. You know, a lot more Japanese died. After Pearl Harbor, then died out Pearl Harbor. Guess what? When you bombed us, all bets are off.

When you wanted to take Germany. I know we're at a precision weapons era. But when you took Germany, you bombed everything.

Now, they weren't all Nazis, so Some of them wanted to leave Germany. I'm sure innocent people died, and that's terrible. Nobody should do that. We care about that. Hamas targets them.

Out of the 1,400 that died, at least 790 were civilians. They put babies into ovens. And now we have people blocking roads in North Carolina. because they say they're demanding a ceasefire. We have thirty people walking out of a lecture from Hillary Clinton because she said there should be no ceasefire.

Israel has every right to wipe out Hamas, and that should be the case. They're dropping flyers to tell them to move. They're saying they're texting Millions of texts out to the 2.5 million people there saying, move south. We won't hit these roads. Go.

And if you know what he If you know where the hostages are, we'll give you a reward. Do you think Hamas dropped flyers ahead of time before they took their doom buggies through the holes in the fences and their hang gliders and just assaulted eighty four year old? Holocaust survivors? And tore people open. I mean, you do you really need to see all this video.

So for the President of the United States to casually say in a fundraiser, when some rabbi st rabbi, no, I didn't misspeak, rabbi, stood up and demanded a pause or a ceasefire, I go, yeah, there really should be. For what? Look, we're providing aid. We should have input. But they should make decisions.

We should have input because we're experts on urban fighting in the Middle East. We should start hitting back immediately for our men and women who are sitting ducks in our forty five thousand who are sitting in the region.

So I'm just outraged by it.

So, Mike Johnson spoke yesterday, the new Speaker of the House. And he talked about getting aid to Israel, $14 billion. He says, we've got billions sitting to fund new IRS agents, repurpose that. Cut ten. If Democrats in the Senate or the House or anyone else want to argue that hiring more IRS agents is more important than standing with Israel in this moment, I'm ready to have that debate.

But I did not attach that for political purposes, okay? I attached it because, again, we're trying to get back to the principle of fiscal responsibility here. And that was the easiest and largest pile of money that's sitting there for us to be able to pay for this immediate obligation.

So that's an interesting challenge, isn't it? Because he said there's $14 billion, you need it. It passed the House. Vote for it? Are you not for funding anything besides, I don't know, the wall?

So Chuck Schumer said this thing is dead on arrival, cut twelve. The Senate will not take up the House's GOP's deeply flawed proposal and instead will work on our own bipartisan emergency aid package that includes aid to Israel, Ukraine, competition with the Chinese government and humanitarian aid for Gaza. I just don't know where the negotiation point is. I think we've got to fund Ukraine, too. I want stipulations.

I want to follow the money. I want an auditor there. I also want to get them weapons in a timely fashion, in a smart fashion, in a military-first fashion, not politics-first fashion. If you don't want time together, that's okay. Mike Johnson said, this new Speaker of the House said, I still want to do Ukraine aid.

You heard what he said to Sean Hannity. It's vital that the Russians don't win in Ukraine.

So he'll get it to him. They just don't want to see it jammed together. They're tired of the omnibus thing.

So are you, and so am I. We've got some time. Break it up. We'll see if there's some compromise because everyone has the same objective, I think, get Israel money. From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division.

It's Brian Kilmead. Hi everyone, welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kill Me Show. I come to you from Midtown Manhattan, the site of, I believe, most of the pro-Palestinian Hamas demonstrations, the burning of the Israeli flags. It's just sickening and stunning. Of right here in Midtown Manhattan, also, where they just found this guy from Senegal who was on the FBI terror list, who we let go and then had to go find.

And they found him in New York City. Crazy time. We just had Anthony Blinken just wrap up his press conference. Nasarella over in Lebanon, who heads Hezbollah. Just made a statement.

That he knew nothing about Hamas's October seventh act. And that was uh an assault. Was Palestinian. I'll give you more of that in a second. A lot of breaking news, so let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. Stop touching. Shade! Save!

Shade! Stop touching. Do you not stand for what you believe? Why don't you want to be filmed? That is some of the outrageous actions taking place on college campuses.

That happened at Harvard. Ignorant or just idiots who make the call. And the plethora of protests yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Tomorrow is supposed to be huge in Washington, D.C., all for the Palestinians and Hamas. That's sickening in America.

Number two. Do you believe is the United States safer from foreign terror threats today? Are we safer than when Joe Biden took office? The threats are very different today than they were a number of years ago. They were very different today than they were three weeks ago.

Does he ever answer a question? The border surge not only overwhelming cities, schools, border communities, but now the FBI is alarmed about the number of high value aliens loose in the nation. Number one. A temporary pause that's localized that would allow us to To get aid in and to get our people out is a good thing for the people of Gaza. It's a good thing for the Americans that are being held hostage.

Israel at war. Pressure to pause. Operations grow as they now have Gaza City surrounded. I say kill the pause and kill all of Hamas and do it now. Hezbollah just made an announcement.

We get their game plan. We will see if this is a massive two-front war. Remember, the Houthi rebels have declared war on Israel. They got long-term rockets, they're also a bunch of criminals. Joel Rosenberg, the editor-in-chief of All Israeli News and All Arab News.

He'll be joining us shortly. Admiral James Javidis at the bottom of the hour. Have you got some comments? You can just write me at BrianKilme dot com.

So Nasarella is just speaking, and it's still going on, it seems now, but he runs Hezbollah, which runs Lebanon, and they are considered the gold standard of Terra Networks. They say this, making his first speech since Israel broke out, the Israel-Hamas war broke out October 7th, says the October 7th operation was planned in total secrecy. Even other Palestinian factions were not privy to it, let alone resistance movements abroad. The international community keeps bringing up Iran and its military plans. But the october seventh attack was a one hundred percent Palestinian operation planned and executed by Palestinians for the Palestinian cause.

It has no relation at all to any international regional issues.

Okay. If you believe. The Wall Street Journal story? That they were meeting in Beirut bi-weekly. Beirut in Lebanon with Hamas leaders.

El Quds force members. And Hamas. When you see the rehearsal? And the execution? Hamas doesn't do that.

And they should be saying Hamas. These are Palestinians. Their cause is not a two-state solution. There's no rationality to it. This is Hamas-led effort.

These are Hamas. They may technically be representing Palestinians. Maybe the most popular group there. But it's Hamas.

So there's something about that operation.

Now, first blush, this is my analysis. There's something about the operation that is so comprehensive and massive that Israel and the hurting they're putting on Hamas right now. I think it has Hezbollah saying. Uh we don't want this fight. Because right now it's Israel unleashed.

It's unleashed. It's not a some rockets coming from Lebanon. At some point, there'll be an incursion. At some point, they're going to go find our bombs and our rockets in between in between hospitals and suburbs. They know that Israel right now is on a war footing, and what would hit them would destroy them.

And yes, you would do damage to Israel, no question. But if Israel comes after you, judging by the military analysts I've spoken to, they're going to wipe you out. or I'll virtually destroy you. And I think on first blush, unless there's a secret left hook that nobody sees, they want to. Pull down the rhetoric in order to surprise again, like Hamas did.

They would have believed what they just said. It's got to be because of the scope of this operation right now.

So we'll see if we're gonna get in. And I'll talk to the Admiral about that.

So with right now there's no aid coming into Ukraine. There's no aid coming, extra aid coming into Israel. There's no aid going down to the border. And what really concerns me is Taiwan. I think this is an effort to string us out.

I think it's concerted. Why was Vladimir Putin meeting with a special hour and a half with just translators with President Xi three weeks ago? I mean, they looked at this and said, who's our problem? Who's stopping us? It's America.

So what could get their attention?

Well, it's shocking that they're having this much trouble in Ukraine two years ago. But having said that, America's got a lot of attention over in Ukraine, and the support for the war is waning.

Well, what else can we do?

Well, their great friend is Israel. I don't know. Maybe it's time for Hamas to put together an operation to distract our great friend and start to tear up resources. that are for that would have to be needed for both wars.

Well, that works out. Hey, let's get Iran to start rocketing their bases to the point where it no longer makes sense to be in the Middle East. We don't want peace in the Middle East. We don't want America to have allies in the Middle East, everybody allied in the Middle East. And we don't want Israel to have normalized relations, even though we don't really have an action ground with Israel.

So let's create some havoc.

Next thing you know, America has got three warships, aircraft carriers, into the Persian Gulf, away from the Pacific. I think this is scripted. I'm not saying we shouldn't act. But I'm saying we should realize that we can get ahead of this. Recognize the strategy.

Don't beg for a meeting like you're doing in San Francisco in two weeks. You begged for that. And you better not be taking off tariffs. in order to get it. President Xi coming to San Francisco for the APEC meeting.

He really wanted to do that. President Biden thinks he needs it politically. You can't tell me that things are going to be get better because of that. They got huge problems with us. They don't, we keep saying this is a competition, this isn't a robber, we're not enemies.

They think we're enemies.

So the other big challenge for this war, I just think it's a big, there's a script going on here. I'd love to just if I if he could speak and he could communicate on any level. You talk about a rotation of people. Get Anthony Blinken back. Pull back Jake Sullivan.

They hate them. And by the way, they hate Joe Biden too. You pull back another diplomatic team, you put forth another diplomatic team, you tell them, you send them out to all these areas, you go and reaffirm the Abraham Accords, you start laying the groundwork elsewhere, you get the faces that the people in Saudi Arabia despise out. And you get a fresh set of minds in, and you talk about a grand strategy, and then you tell the American people how important it is to bolster up. our armed forces because we're in the challenge of a generation.

In Israel, in particular, they have a challenge on the West Bank now, big demonstrations in support of Hamas, not of the Fatah movement that Yasser Arafat ran. Here's Richard Engel on another network, Cut nineteen. People have to understand.

So there's the Gaza Strip in the south, which is run by Hamas. Hamas is both a terrorist organization, has a military wing, but it also has a government function in that it governs the Gaza Strip. And right now, Israel is in a war to remove Hamas and destroy Hamas in Gaza. In the West Bank, which is not connected to Gaza, there is the Palestinian Authority, a far more moderate government that Israel hopes will become the government for both the West Bank and Gaza. It's unclear if that's going to happen, but that's the idea.

Within the West Bank, this separate territory, there are extremist settlers. The extremist settlers live in communities, and often, particularly in these days in this climate of rage, they are leaving their settlements and attacking the Palestinians around them. The government of Israeli Netanyahu, Prime Minister Netanyahu himself, formed a coalition with many of these settler leaders in order to keep himself in power, in order to form a government so he could continue to govern. This country and stay in power. He's been a dominant political figure for the last 20 years.

And yes, secular Israelis were saying, you are pandering to the extreme right. You are giving these people too much power. And now that government is at war, and these deep fissures in society are emerging. Very well done. That's why uh you pulled it.

That just explains it. You know, there was what Clinton was working on was a land bridge. And maybe an elevator bridge that would run from West Bank to Gaza. Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority would govern over it. And they would have aid from the West.

They weren't enemies. They certainly have enemies in the East. They don't have enemies in the East, I should say. And China would have bumped it. And it would have been could have had thriving, integrated To the degree they wanted.

Market economy. But Yasser Africa says yet if I sign this. I'm going to get assassinated because no one wants to recognize Israel.

So I'm going to walk away. And Bill Clinton never forgave him. And it probably would have been a phony piece anyway, because this terror network would have not allowed it, and this radical regime in Iran would have made sure it was undermined, much like they tried to undermine so many other governments. But that's all gone now. I just can't believe when Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken say we're thinking about a two state solution, why would you ever, if you're Israel, look at a two state solution that you have a big wall separating you But there's no way that you could live amongst the West Bank people who want to kill you.

When we come back. When you get a perspective. Uh from Israel. With the editor-in-chief of All Israel News and All Arab News, Joel Rosenberg. And then Admiral James Charvide, as former Supreme Alley Commander of NATO.

Busy hour, but following it all. Brian Kilmead show. It's Brian Kilmead. The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead.

the enemy had to retrench. They had to come down with their objectives. What is taking place in Palestine, in Gaza, my brothers and sisters, shows How arrogant and stupid and helpless the Israelis are. What are they doing? They are killing people in Gaza.

Children. Most uh of the martyrs are women and children. That is Nazarellah speaking. It's is is he done speaking or is this Oh yeah, we're just getting the translation now. And Nasarella, who heads up Hezbollah, comes from Lebanon.

He's the power base there, looked at as a hero in the region, did not declare war on Israel, said he knew nothing about the operation before it happened. Joel Rosenberg is the editor in chief of All Israel News and All Arab News and joins us now. Joel, I know it just happened, but what's your takeaway from the Nasarella remarks? Hey, Brian, good to talk to you from Jerusalem. And it has been a brutal month, and Sheikh Nasrallah.

I don't know why he gave the speech because, in many ways, there's really no new information in it. But the fact is, and he sort of confirmed it. They're already at war. This idea that he might declare war is is sort of a non-starter for him. He considers himself he has been at war with us for 30 years.

He is at war with us now. And he's been accelerating, Brian. That's the challenge. I'm not sure. uh which is funded Armed Trained and directed by the Iranian regime is vastly larger and more dangerous.

Yeah. And so the the real issue that every Israeli is Is processing right now, Brian, is when do they start shooting their 150,000 missiles, far more powerful. Than the rockets that Hamas has in Gaza.

So we're winning in Gaza, we will win in Gaza, but Nobody here believes that you can actually we can actually be safe. without defeating Kezbala And I'll add one other thing as we begin. Iran is at 84% enrichment, as you know, of uranium. They only have to get to 90%. To have fully operational nuclear warheads.

So, most Israelis are also thinking: well, if we win in Gaza and we don't defeat. Hezbollah, and we don't take out the Iran nuclear sites. We're worse off than we actually were a month ago. That's That's where we are right now. That's a great point.

And the thing is, too, Hezbollah must be looking at this and saying, wait, do I want this fight? They are totally mobilized on a war footing. They now have rationale. Instead of a probe that people would say that could be avoided, now they say, wait a second. Do we really want this fight?

Because you could obviously Israel would take a pounding, but Israel should be victorious out of this and could wipe out both terror organizations this fall. Yeah. Well, that's the thing. And we've been reporting at all Israel news. And I've got a TV show on TBN called the Rosenberg Report.

Tomorrow night, Saturday, we've got an exclusive interview with Israel's former Prime Minister and Defense Minister Naftai Bennett. And I pressed him on these issues because I said, you know, every Israeli that I'm interviewing, whether they're in the military or former intelligence now or former, or just regular citizens. They're like, we are facing literally an existential threat, worse than at any point since 1948 when seven Arab armies attacked us. But everyone here, I think, is psychologically preparing themselves, and this is what I talked to Bennett about. for the for the idea that we can't just win in Gaza.

No one in Israel is in doubt that we will, and we're doing a very, very good job right now, at a high cost, admittedly. especially in their national opinion. Lights. You know, Brian, because you've been covering this stuff for years, Prime Minister Netanyahu believes that he came back into power after being removed by Naftali Bennett. Specifically to neutralize the Iran threat.

And if you weren't gonna do it now, When would you do it? What would be the moral justification? But the cost to Israel. is high because Hezbollah's missiles and Iran's missiles are vastly more powerful And we will, you know, but for the grace and miracle of God, which you know, I believe I'm an evangelical Israeli, and I believe God can protect us, but you have to plan for the worst and pray for the best. but Israel could be devastated even though we'll win.

I hear you, but you wonder how much worse will it be in two years? How much wish will it be in four years? Exactly.

Well, th one of the things I spent a day last week for my TBN show on the northern border. And again, under rocket fire, missiles, attacks, machine gun fire. It was quite an experience. And every single person on that border said, We're never moving back here if We win in Gaza and then we de-escalate, and let's say Biden or the UN forces a ceasefire. Like it and all the tanks go home, all the troops go back to work.

all the US aircraft carrier strike groups off the coast. Go home. What are we supposed to do? Hezbollah is 50 times bigger in terms of their army, and they've already told us 10 years ago they released formally, publicly, their plan to invade and conquer. The Galilee, which is the northern area of Israel, right up to the Sea of Galilee, and kill everybody that lives here.

So we're never moving back unless we fight this war. And that's something I think most people in the West, even pro-Israel, people in the United States have not processed because they're thinking, let's help Israel win in Gaza and then contain this thing. No Israeli thinks you can. Because now we've seen the barbarism, the demonic savagery. And Brian?

I would say we there's a combination of tremendous grief here. fear, but also resolve. I understand, and you understand that it only lasts so long. The adrenaline and the feeling can only last so long, and you're worried a year from now you might have this temporary peace, but you have to look long term. It's fascinating.

And so impactful who makes these decisions. Joel, continue to do your great work. I hope we can check in with you again. Please do. I'll be your Middle East correspondent here for you.

That'd be awesome. Admiral James Chavitas. will be next. Supreme Allied Commander of NATO. Back in a moment.

The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead. We believe that. Each of these efforts would be facilitated by humanitarian clauses, by arrangements on the ground that increase security for civilians and permit. the more effective and sustained delivery of humanitarian assistance.

That was an important area of discussion today with Israeli leaders. how, when and where these can be implemented. What work needs to happen? and what understandings must be reached.

Now we recognize this would take time to prepare and coordinate as well with international partners. A number of legitimate questions were raised in our discussions today, including. How to use. any period of pause to maximize the phobia humanitarian assistance. Are we talking pause?

I thought humanitarian assistance was getting in. I see 74 Americans got out. I know more need to go. I was not able to understand what Admiral Kirby meant between pause and ceasefire. And was there a clear answer?

Should they be fired at in a pause? Can you fire back? What are the rules? Admiral James Jarvidez knows all of it. He writes the handbook for most of it.

He was the 16th Supreme Allied Commander at NATO, currently a member of the Carlisle Group, an author of several bestsellers. His latest, Risk It All, Nine Conflicts in the Crucible of Decision. Admiral, man, the world is on fire since we last talked. First, can I ask you to comment about what the Secretary of State just said about a pause? Do you think we should be recommending that?

I think we should not be recommending or pushing a ceasefire, which is simply broad across the board, everything stops and it runs until you effectively declare hostilities again. The Israelis are nowhere in position to do that.

So let's take ceasefire off the table. What I think the Secretary means by a pause is merely something we always do on a battlefield, which is Stop. Specific operations in a particular area in order to allow humanitarian activity in that area. That's my interpretation. I see no problem with doing that.

You are correct. Humanitarian aid is flowing in, but there may be some moments when you could pause military operations in a given geography. And, for example, evacuate a hospital. That would be the type of pause I would see making sense. I think the Israelis are going to do some of that, but they are certainly not going to move toward a ceasefire, nor as a military person would I recommend a ceasefire at this point.

The way we understand the fighting has been in talking to General Keene today and in talking to Danny Dannon, the former Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations. He says it's face-to-face. And the way Hamas is fighting is all ambushes. They'll even ambush tanks, but they don't want to square off anywhere. They're not dug in anywhere.

And they're most of danger when they camp, not camp out, but they stay stationary after an operation. But they are really making great progress. Can you bring me inside your thoughts about the pace in which they're doing this operation? I think they are on task. as we would say in the military.

I'm certain they laid out a very specific time line. And from everything I can see, they are moving down that time line with military efficiency. And by the way, I credit the Israeli Defense Forces for effectively allowing two weeks For civilians to evacuate the main battle effort, which is clearly in and around the city of Gaza itself, and so you. Yes, it's very dangerous work. You know, the Marines call this the three-block war, like three city blocks.

And it is the most dangerous thing infantry can do. A point to be made here, Brian, by the way, we talk a lot about precision-guided weapons, bombs typically, or missiles, and they're fairly precise. The most precision-guided weapon on a battlefield is a soldier. It's an infantry soldier, because that soldier knows and can look at women and children, not shoot, and take the shot when it is a military-age male carrying a gun.

So the Israelis are doing the right thing, moving those foot soldiers into the battle. They will take casualties. But it is a smart on task operation thus far. I'll close with this. Look back at the second battle of Fallujah in Iraq.

Maybe General Keene mentioned that to you. 10,000 U.S. Marines subdued a city, Fallujah, about 10,000. 10% of the size of Gaza. It took those Marines, the best shock troops in the world.

It took them two months to do so.

So this is not going to be over quickly. A lot of casualties ahead. I think the Israelis are where they want to be in the operation.

So they're losing, and they expected this in terms of the propaganda war. You have a huge demonstration. I don't know where it comes from, Admiral. Totally shocked by it. Huge Palestinian Hamas demonstration in Washington, D.C.

tomorrow. You see what's happening on our college campuses. California, the whole California state system. We have Columbia, Harvard, Yale, NYU, major pro-Palestinian moments, apologies from presidents that don't really cut it. How do you explain this generation that doesn't seem to understand?

who our allies are in the area and who the good guys are. Yes, and I'll just add to it that they seem unable to understand the difference between Hamas butchering innocent civilians And Israeli Defense Force is doing everything they can to avoid. Civilian casualties. It really is a terrible false equivalency. And so, where does it come from?

It comes from a culture that's baked into higher education. I spent five years, as you know, as dean of a law school, the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.

So, I witnessed this. And it is a false moral equivalency that simply denigrates what Israel has done and accomplished and seeks to do. And sure, I'm a supporter of a two-state solution. I think the Palestinians need a state that should be negotiated between Israel and the Palestinians. But this idea that Israel should be protested against for undertaking very appropriate Self-defense.

operations in Gaza is nine cents, and we need to continue to drive that home on our college campuses. Nazarella just spoke. Here's a little through a translator. Do we have that? Here's a little of what he said.

This guy runs Hezbollah, and this guy would have 150,000 rockets, obviously, and he has a more formidable force. And here's what he said: The enemy had to retrench. They had to come down with their objectives. What is taking place in Palestine, in Gaza, my brothers and sisters, shows. How arrogant and stupid and helpless the Israelis are.

What are they doing? They are killing people in Gaza. Children. Women Most uh of the martyrs are women and children. He went on to say the U.S., we have plans for your ships.

If you attack us, we'll attack you. You lost in Afghanistan, you lost in Iraq, and you're about to lose again.

So that was part of the rhetoric that he spewed out, but he did not declare war, and he said he was caught totally by surprise. We all were caught by surprise by October 7th. Uh I just wanted to get your thought your thoughts. Ton of bluster. He knows there are not one, but two U.S.

aircraft carriers less than one hundred miles from southern Lebanon. That would be USS Eisenhower, USS Gerald R. Ford, one hundred and sixty combat aircraft between them. There's 2,000 Marines in USS Bataan. There are five additional fighter squadrons in the Middle East.

He knows if he starts unloading those missiles on Israel, the U.S. will come into this and will destroy a great deal of his infrastructure.

So, what you're going to hear from him, and let's recall, Brian, his speech was not written in Lebanon. His speech was written in Tehran by the Ayatollahs, that rotten theocracy that have created this creature, Hezbollah. And at the end of the day, he's going to bluster. He's going to make a lot of false pronouncements. Including, by the way, I don't think we lost the war in Iraq.

I think we lost in Afghanistan 'cause we quit. But in Iraq, we still are operating alongside Iraqis and have a a good relationship with Iraq, and we're done with Saddam Hussein and his psychopathic sons. What part of that is a defeat exactly, I don't see. In any event, his speech is shot with falsehoods, and it's a lot of hot air.

So right now, we're looking at a situation where our guys and 2,500 in Iraq, we have 900 in Syria, 45,000 in the region have been hit. At least ten times since we hit the weapons depot in Syria, and twenty nine times. since october seventeenth. And we've done nothing but uh but we have uh protecting ourselves with some type of Uh missile shield.

So What would you do? If you if you could send a message So, number one, to protect our guys. Number two, you know these Iranian militias that are behind it. I think it is Time for the president to receive a list of options from the Pentagon for responses to these attacks. And they need to be proportional.

That means we don't flatten downtown Tehran. But I think if you start working up a ladder of options, it would probably include cybersecurity attacks that go after the Iranian economy. It would ultimately include missile strikes, Reaper drone strikes against Iranian proxies operating in the field against our troops. It might very well include going after targets with Hezbollah. It could include.

more active U. S. military response alongside Israel. And if Iran still doesn't get the message, then it's time to go after Iranian actual installations, looking at, just to throw out an idea, Iranian platforms in the Arabian Gulf, Iranian naval vessels operating at sea, Iranian naval bases. And Brian, we've already done that.

We did that in 1989, Operation Praying Manus. Iran needs to understand that there is a point where we will use military force directly against Iran. We're not there yet. We'd probably work up that ladder I just described, but it's time we got after it. Should we be on that ladder by now?

Yes, in my view, we should, particularly given the attacks on our troops. Troops are being injured. A contractor died of a medical condition. Iran needs to get a message here, and I think it's time to start moving up that ladder. President has some hard decisions ahead.

Admiral, I understand the messaging and you want to de-escalate, but when Secretary Austin came out and said, we're getting hit in the region, it has nothing to do with Israel. We've always been there, and that's the problem we're having separate from what's going on in Israel. Nobody believes that. I mean, they're saying these Iranian militias, they formed an alliance since October 7th. No disagreement here.

And Lloyd Austin is a dear friend of mine, and I think a highly competent general, and is doing an excellent job as Secretary of Defense. I just disagree with him. I think that in this case, we are seeing linkages, and all of this is being orchestrated from Tehran. You don't have to be John LeCourt writing a novel to figure that out. This is coming from Tehran, and therefore, our responses need to be headed toward the Iranians, not just against uh lower levels of their organization.

So If the fact that we haven't hit yet isn't his decision, is what you're saying. From what you know about this administration. Can you let me know what would be the decision tree? It would uh follow a continuous set Of attacks, as you point out, there have been a series of those. We have responded to those.

In proportional fashion, but they're continuing. And so the point is: as the administration looks at the continuing number of attacks, and particularly if U.S. troops are wounded or, God forbid, killed, then I think you need to be moving up that ladder. And by the way, we have plenty of back channel communication with the Iranians. And I would hope that the administration is exercising those options as well to simply say It's unacceptable to continue to come after active duty soldiers operating in the field, whether it is in Iraq, in Syria, in Bahrain, in El Udid, in Doha.

As you know, we're all over that region. Iran needs to understand we will protect our forces. Yeah, that would be great. That's the only thing they do understand. We're so worried about escalating.

We don't get the weapons to the Ukrainians in time, and we don't allow our guys to protect themselves in the region. And I know you get this all the time, but I've gotten about five separate letters. The latest one came in the mail from people who are on these bases, and they feel so helpless. And the al-Assad base, as these rockets come in, they also said that they have friends in Kuwait, and rockets have come their direction in Kuwait. I mean, that looks, I've been there.

It looks like you're on the side of the moon. It's in the middle of nowhere.

So the helpless feeling of our guys just sitting there wondering. You know, is today going to be my day? And am I going to be able to. you know, to use my training. Without question, you are correctly communicating the way in which our troops.

Feel, I think I would categorize it less of helplessness and more of want to get into the fight. And they want to see Air Force fighters overhead, they want to see missiles going back, they want to see Navy tomahawk coming off our destroyers and cruisers, they want to see. Our aircraft responding to this. They're in a fight. They're in a hard fight with the Islamic State alongside our partners, the Iraqis, where we didn't lose the war.

And that's going quite well. But Iran needs to back off because they are, we'd say in the Navy, standing into danger. I'd feel a lot better if you were in there, Admiral. If they call you, you have to go. Admiral James Sarvidis, thanks so much.

I don't think they're going to get quite that desperate to get a 60-year-old Admiral back into the fight. But I'm always game, Brian. I know you are. Thanks so much, Admiral. Have a great weekend.

Back in a moment. Learning something new every day on The Brian Killmeat Show. He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Killmead. This is when we need to have Israel's back.

Israel is not asking for U.S. troops. It's not asking for U.S. intervention. It's asking for the political support, the financial support, and where necessary, the military supply to be able to go in and restore deterrence.

I mean, I think the Biden administration's approach, this sort of slow walking away from support, you know, just as the incursion is about to start in earnest, is exactly what Israel doesn't need. And it's exactly how we shouldn't be treating an ally that's willing and able to take care of its own security. We should be demonstrating not only to Israel, but to the Indias, the Poland, the South Koreas, maybe the Taiwans of the world, that this is how we stand behind allies that are willing to really go the mile to defend themselves in what is a very just cause. Yeah, El Bridge Kolby, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense under President Trump, thinks you've got to get all behind Israel. I do too.

But here's where we're different. Bridge Kolby also does not want to support Ukraine. What he just described is the Ukrainians. The Ukrainians just say, give me the weapons we know how to fight. Give us the weapons.

Will make them more potent than they are. If you give me the attackums enough that I could really back off. The Russians We finally gave him the attack hims. 14. Not the best.

We gave him some. Gave him the high marks. Gave the Patriots.

So with the. With the Israelis, they have a lot, they know how to use a lot, they invent a lot, they co-produce a lot, especially with missile defense.

So we just got to get it to them in order for them to survive and let them be prepared for a three-front war. Also, it was brought up by Joel Rosenberg earlier: is this the time to take out Iran's nuclear facility before they fully weaponize? Evidently, they're at 85% and just need 90. Enrichment. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show.

Brian Kilmead. Hi, everyone. Welcome to one of the last hours of a very busy week. And so much going on today. Press conference from Anthony Blinken from Nasarella, who is in charge of Hezbollah.

Kind of a mixed message there, but doesn't look like an invasion is imminent. But we did cite 19 separate attacks from Hezbollah over in the north. And we have the ground war well underway, surrounding a total. I understand Gaza City is totally surrounded.

So we'll bring you the latest from the front lines and when Anthony Blinken is urging behind the scenes.

So before we get to Shannon Bream and Lady Abatia Unger Sargon of Newsweek, let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. Stop touching. See? Stop touching it.

Do you not stand for what you believe? Why don't you want to be filmed? There you go. People starting to rip down pictures of the hostages and not liking it. They're being taped, and you're seeing it all.

Ignorant or just idiots? You make the call after the plethora of protests yesterday, today, and tomorrow in D.C., all for the Palestinians/Hamas. Number two. Do you believe the United States is safer from foreign terror threats today? Are we safer than when Joe Biden took office?

The threats are very different today than they were a number of years ago. They were very different today than they were three weeks ago. Do we get the sense he doesn't want to answer any questions? The border surge not only overwhelming cities and schools, but now the FBI is alarmed about the number of high value alien high volume aliens, value aliens, in the nation. A couple of which are just loose.

We lost them. Number one: Dopause does not help Hamas. A temporary pause that's localized, that would allow us to get aid in and to get our people out, is a good thing for the people of Gaza. It's a good thing for the Americans that are being held hostage. That is Admiral Kirby not telling the truth.

Israel at war. Pressures to pause. Operations grow as they now have Gaza City surrounded. I say kill the paws and kill all of Hamas.

Now, as Hezbollah announced, they are watching everything but knew nothing of the game plan before October 7th.

Well, the problem is, Shannon Bream, as you anchor at Fox News Sunday and get set for your big show on Sunday, the problem is that Wall Street Journal report and some others that say they were all part of the planning. And Hamas has never been able to execute like this. And they think it had to come, if that Wall Street Journal story is true, from bi-weekly meetings and drills in Iran. Uh 500. As well as in Beirut, where Hezbollah is.

So. We are doing press conferences today. Nasserola didn't say I'm fighting. But he's warning Israel not to fight that and fight him. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, and saying he's not scared by U.S. warships in the region, we're not scared of you, and saying it kind of all depends on what happens in the Gaza Strip.

Well, Israel's not going to stop fighting there. They're not going to pull out. They've said the only possible even pause they'd consider is to get hostages out, but otherwise forget it.

So, you know, if Hezbollah is saying, oh, if you keep fighting in Gaza, then I'm going to have to come after Israel, that doesn't sound very promising because I don't think anybody short of the psychos wants this to extend to another front. But we're going the out of the way not to even defend ourselves when rocketed. Do you find that stunning? What I find interesting is the very belabored explanation that what we're doing with that is not connected to the Israel-Hamas war. Because listen, those Iranian proxies, the state or excuse me, the Defense Department's been very clear, they're the ones who are behind these attacks on our soldiers, our interests in Iraq and Syria.

We have fired back at one point, but again, the language that was used was saying this is wholly separate and apart, a different conflict from what's going on in Israel and Hamas. But most people see a lot of threads that involve Iran. They involve Russia. And in some places, they involve China. I mean, there are a lot of bad actors who want to go after Israel when they thought maybe that it was weak with their internal divisions, and many of them feel the same way about the U.S.

Well, we know that the president's indicating that he wants a pause. As General Keene told me this morning, and I know you know, we are getting humanitarian aid in. We are getting people. I got 74 out yesterday. We got about 400 to go or 350 to go.

Here's what Anthony Blinken said that stood out. Partners throughout the Middle East and beyond have a critical role to play in averting escalation. And that will be a major focus of my conversations throughout this trip. Second. We need to do more to protect Palestinian civilians.

We've been clear that as Israel conducts its campaign to defeat Hamas. How it does so matters. It matters because it's the right and lawful thing to do. Matters because Failure to do so plays into the hands of Hamas and other terror groups. All right, we got it.

So he's saying I'm recommending we do more for civilians. He didn't say definitely a pause, but we're going to get the reports behind the scenes that there's pressure to pause. I don't think the Israelis should pause. Hillary Clinton doesn't think the Israelis should pause. Right.

That's an interesting, when you look at who's lined up together, people have actually had to deal with this, and she was Secretary of State. She gets it, that these are not good actors who are going to give you anything helpful. We know that Hamas is still firing, you know, Trey Yangst and all of our reporters, they are doing an amazing job. They're standing there saying Hamas is still firing rockets.

So why in the world would you pause if they're still firing into Israeli territory? And, you know, like Netanyahu said, there's not even a conversation of a pause unless it's to get hostages out. Otherwise, just stop. We're not talking about this. These people have, you know, become an existential threat to us.

They want Israel gone and wiped off the map. They don't want a two-state solution. The terrorist group, Hamas, wants Israel to not exist. And so how can you tell another country, yes, you know, we've used a lot of language in all the White House press releases and everything else we've seen, abide by the laws of war. You know, in Israel, you've heard them out there.

I mean, they're talking about we try to be as precision as possible. We don't want to kill civilians because that's not our aim. But also, we know we're going to get blamed for it. And so they say that they're trying to be as precise as they can be, and that we all know that Hamas hides behind civilian targets. That's just a fact.

It is a fact.

So I asked General Keene this morning about what Nasarello was capable of and how the fight has been going. Cut 16.

Now that they have the city surrounded, They're going to clear in the city and go slow in doing that. Certainly, the focus is where Hamas is hiding, and that is in the tunnel complexes. They're not likely to go in those tunnel complexes and fight them in there. That gives an advantage to Hamas. But there's much they can do.

They can send robots in to dismantle the IEDs and the mines. You know, they can. put smoke and and gas to force them out of there. There's a number of issues. They can block some of those tunnel complexes, just seal them up, and force the fighters out.

Well, the problem is if that's where the hostages could be, that's the big challenge. Yes, there are no easy answers. Every time we talk about talk about this, we say that. I mean, I literally pray every day for wisdom for leaders around the world, ours and Israel's and everybody who's potentially drawn into this and have an interest in the region. Because there are no easy answers.

Of course, everybody who is a good person, a decent person, wants the hostages out and they want civilians protected as much as possible. And sometimes those things are going to be in conflict. As Kirby has said, war is ugly and there will be civilian casualties. And nobody wants that, but it is a byproduct of war, which is horrendous.

So, Shannon, we had Rona McDaniel in here earlier. They're set to debate again on Wednesday. If you're not on the debate stage, you're really done. No one's really bounced off after missing that. But it looks like Tim Scott qualified and you can't rule out Governor Bergham yet.

So. What's changed this time? You're going to have NBC doing it, but you do have UU it on on this.

Well, I think what's interesting is that Nikki Haley is showing real momentum. It's been gathering. She's always liked the debates. You know, we had her on Fox Week Sunday, but right before the first one, and was like, you know, she likes these. She feels very comfortable there on policy or anything else.

And she feels like it's a place that she shines.

So she was the first person to get in in a real way early in this whole race. And she's willing to go to every Elks Lodge, every town hall, everything that she can do.

So you combine that willingness to do the real groundwork in all of these different states because she's not currently holding a position. She's not governor. She can do those things with the way that she feels about the debate stage, which is completely comfortable. You know, and donors have been shifting their money. And the poll shows that she's in a very good position going into this debate.

And so I think she's got a lot of pressure on her. And her team feels like they'll be up to the expectations next week. All right.

So who's going to be on your show? We've got Speaker Mike Johnson with us exclusively to talk about this fight over Israel funding. Oh, and by the way, we're running out of government funding in 14 days. How does he navigate all this stuff? And you know, people questioning whether he's going to be able to be the fundraiser that Republicans expect out of their speaker.

He's got a lot on his plate. We've also got Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. You know, there are a lot of statewide these off-year elections next week on certain referendums. In Ohio, it's abortion and pot. But Virginia and Kentucky and Mississippi, other places have really important elected positions that are up too.

So we're going to look ahead to those elections next week. That sounds great. We're going to watch you on Fox News Sunday. First, you're going to watch One Nation at 9, right? Saturday night appointment view wing.

Yeah, there you go. The Palestinian protests will be big. And then we'll be set for Sunday. Sunday night, also, my book, Teddy and Booker T, comes out. I'm so excited.

I had my copy right here in front of me. Oh, you did. Thank you. I went into our office. Can I tell people how you signed it?

Hold on. How did I sign it? You don't even Remember, you probably didn't even actually sign it.

Well, that's me.

Well, someone who forged your signature wrote this. Tushan and the world's best person slash anchor um slash lawyer. Brian Kill Me 2023. That's what I believe. You don't believe you wrote it?

No, no, no, no, it's me, but I can't remember. I did mail out a lot of them, Shannon.

Well, listen, when you signed millions of your bestsellers, things get lost sometimes. But no one could buy it yet until Tuesday. I've got it, though. People contact me if you want.

So, Sunday, there's a special if you want to watch the book on. Yes, I'm excited about that. Yeah, so it would be good. What am I going to learn? About Teddy and Booker T, how they came together to make America a better place.

Did you interview either of them? Because otherwise. But I got close. Great-grandson and great-granddaughter. I love that.

Actually, it's going to be fantastic. I can't wait to see it. Shannon, go get him. Bye-bye. All right.

And by the way, so you can go get Teddy and Booker T and pre-order it. I'm also going to be on stage talking about everything: the patriotic, motivational, inspirational afternoon and evening, I should say, at the Vogel in Red Bank, New Jersey. And then I'll be in Pawnavidra the next day, November 10th.

So the 9th is the Vogel in Red Bank, New Jersey. Start driving now if you don't live close.

Some tickets are left. With every ticket, you get a book in Pawnavidra, W-O-K-V. Then I'm going over to the villages on the 11th, in Averro Beach on the 12th, back to work, over to Connecticut, in Madison, Connecticut, on November 12th. 14th, and then we go to the Patriot Awards. I'll be signing the Patriot Awards.

You gotta go. And then Brentonwood, Tennessee, right after. And then we're going to just pick it up from there. Just BrianKilme.com. It's all there.

Some of them you need to make reservations, and others you need to get tickets, but it's going to be fun. We need some good news, and these two guys are great men. You listen to the Brian Kilmey show. Your calls next. 1-866-408-7669 and your comments.

Don't move. You're with Brian Kilmead. Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. When it is stated that this operation is to serve Iran's.

Interests in the area. This is all a fabrication. The Al Aksa flood. by Palestinian decision. and by Palestinian execution, I tell you that The fact that we were not aware of it, that I was not aware of it, is pu it was purely Palestinian.

So that is Nasarella of the Hezbollah fame saying, no idea this thing was going to happen, not aware of it. It was a total Hambas operation, Palestinian operation.

So don't look at me. Interesting. You wonder why he did it. Maybe because there was pressure. I have no idea about Lebanese politics or terror politics.

You wonder why he felt compelled to come out since he didn't threaten anybody, really, except for saying some ridiculous things about us.

So but they've already rocketed Israel nineteen, twenty five, I think thirty times.

So they are I think they yesterday hit the Sheba farms. Also a note just came across, the Israel has stopped warning Syria about their terror strikes when they go in.

So, you know, in Syria, it's just basically a mess worse than ever.

So, Iran is able to have their militias trained there. Hezbollah has got a huge presence there. Anytime Israel feels threatened or something's consolidating, metastasizing, they'll go in and just take it out.

Now, there's one reason. One of the key reasons why they never really got involved in supporting Ukraine's effort to fight off Russia was because Russia was giving them a Winkin a nod in Syria saying, Yeah, I know, don't hit us, but we understand you want to blow up those terrorists, go ahead and do it.

Now, basically, Russia says, We broke up with you, Israel. We no longer really support you. You have no reason to fight back. You should have a ceasefire. We don't like the idea of you hitting another nation, which is a joke.

So, having said that, Israel says, okay, now I'm going to check in with anyone. I'm going to start bombing. And I think you got to get back to that mindset. Even though it's not 1945 anymore, the reason why we won that war is because we said you hit us, now we wipe you out. And don't worry about public opinion until years later.

They didn't have social media, everybody knows that, but don't worry about it. I want to give you a sense of the protest on the streets. Tomorrow's going to be a big wild scene. They're going to, on Saturday, they're going to go in there and they're going to have big demonstrations in Washington, and they're all going to be clueless and ridiculous. But here is.

Um Here's a I want you to hear this piece.

So Hamas is a brutal organization that hates gays, hates gays, will throw them off roofs. Do you think there's trans you don't think there's enough trans rights here? If they'll just kill you on the spot. Utah Master.

So listen to this exchange, Cut26. Doing a a quick petition to help Hamas free Palestine? You're all in? Oh yeah, you're in? Easily.

I just have to read terms and conditions just so you know what you're signing. By supporting Hamas freeing Palestine, you agree to the following. You agree that every Jew, Christian, and non-Muslim in the world must be slaughtered. I don't know about that one. You endorse making homosexuality punishable by jail or death?

Oh no, no, I don't. You don't agree with that? You believe Iran should use Palestinians as puppets to spread radical jihad and destroy the West? No? No.

I'm glad I read the uh terms of agreement. You support strict trivia law which bans women from showing their knees, hair, playing sports in public, not being able to travel without a man's permission. I'm sorry, I'm not sure. Not interested? Oh, okay.

That is what Hamas believes and this guy is genius.

Okay, you oh, yeah, Amas is the best. Let me just give you an idea of what they're about because people don't educate themselves at all. And if more people knew about that, do you think they'll be showing up? In Washington, D.C. Uh causing a massive unrest in Harvard, Yale, Columbia, NYU, Hunter, maybe your school.

So, listen to this Jewish student who was on America Report yesterday, give you an idea of what it's like. Being Jewish in New York right now on that campus, CUD 27. Being a Jew at NYU right now is scary. We are seeing An uptick in anti-Israel protests that are turning anti-Semitic. There are signs that read globalize the Intifada, which is a historical call for the extermination of Jews and call for violence against Jews.

These are not calls for peace, they are calls for violence, they are calls for the blood of Jews to be spilled. We are hearing chants of gas the Jews, of Hitler was right. Um And as the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, These statements Being thrown around so carelessly and thoughtlessly are extremely harmful, and the spreading of misinformation as well. contributed both by students and of faculty members. Yeah.

So that's it in my U. That's what it's like. One day it's no problem in New York, big Jewish population. Long Island, big Jewish population. The next day, you have to feel you're getting knocked around on campus.

Also, there's this video out, and I just saw it. I'll try to explain it as best I can. This Jewish kid walking across campus at this horrible place called Harvard. Do you know how Harvard's law editor assaulted a Jewish student himself one-on-one? And just because the guy was, I guess he is of Arab descent.

And he starts beating up this kid on campus, yelling, Shame, shame on you. This guy is editor of the Harvard Law. He was a stand out student at undergrad in in Stamford. And now he's beating up kids on campus who happen to be Jewish. Who would ever hire this guy?

I'll talk about that when we get back too. We come back by Unger Sargon. A lot of major law firms are saying: if I find out that you are participating in these pro-Hamas protests, you're either fired or never going to be hired. Lewis LeBron Kilmicha. From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Killmead.

Every time I see those signs, you know what I do? I rip them down. I love Hamas. I think Hamas. Oh, you love a terrorist organization.

Interesting. Half a square everywhere. Israel. I think they're all dirty, dirty animals. That's not anti-Zootism?

That's not anti-Zevitism? They should be all exterminated. Thank you. Every single one of them. And their kids, their mothers, their children.

Everybody Just like Philip. Thank you for proving our point. Have a lovely night. You know, line them up. Rexists in Harvard.

There you go, Harvard Square. Aren't you glad you didn't go? Couldn't even get in. Many of us can. But now who'd wanna go?

If you got that intellect and you got those grades and you got those SAT scores, you got those recommendations. Why would you go there? Bhatya Ongar Sargon joins us now. She's a Deputy Opinion Editor of Newsweek. She's also over our channel.

Bhati, I just wanted to bring some of the campus to light for our listeners. I know it's much more visual, but that's what's been happening Uh uh especially in this city, in New York City. Yeah, absolutely. First of all, Brian, thank you so much for having me. And thank you.

I just have to say this every time as a Jewish person. I thank you so much for your moral clarity in this moment. We all watch your show. We all watch with the honesty with which you bring to this topic. And I just cannot thank you enough.

God bless you and everybody that you care about and this great nation. You know, I don't know if you've ever met somebody who's gone to Harvard, but they do this very annoying thing, which is you ask them, like, if it comes up, like, where do you go to college? They'll say, they go like this. They'll say, oh, somewhere in Cambridge, as if like we can't handle the word Harvard, right? As if we're all supposed to be so intimidated by the word Harvard.

They really do this. Like, they all do this, as if the word Harvard is so intimidating, we won't be able to keep talking to them. But now, what I hope will happen is they will say it because they're embarrassed to admit where they went, because it's not just this random person. There was a video that came out of the editor of the Harvard. Lawrence.

I'm going to go to the next one. Physically assaulting a Jewish student who Happened to walk through their pro-Palestine rally, the editor of the Harvard Law Review. These are the people who are allegedly the elite, the cream of the crop, and they are out there pushing Hamas talk because. points they cannot tell right from wrong. This is what it means to be part of the American leftist elites.

These universities don't exist to educate anymore, Brian. They exist to perpetuate elite culture. Class. Belonging, and the way that they do that is by coming up with ways to justify terrorism. That's how you show that you're part of the leftist elites today.

And everybody can see it now. Every good American can see it. But it's not stopping. You think a lot of it's highlighting. I'm enjoying the pushback in many cases.

But tomorrow, Saturday, there's going to be a huge demonstration, protest, or show of support for the Palestinians in Washington, D.C. I find this stunning. You know, I When you see a thousand people, 2,000 people, 5,000 people, 10,000 people gathered, it looks like a lot. But honestly, Brian, in a country of 350 million, let them have their protest because the American people know what's right. I saw a poll the other day.

They asked Americans who is responsible for civilian casualties in Gaza. You will not believe the answer. Just 13. Just 13%, Brian, said Israel is responsible for civilian casualties in Gaza. Sixty three percent of Americans said Hamas is responsible, which is of course the correct answer.

And the rest said we don't know enough to say, which is also a totally reasonable answer.

So I was so heartened by that, Brian. People are following people. No, the American people side with what is good and what is right and what is just.

So, America's largest law firms penned a letter to Ivy League schools warning them that they will not hire anti-Semites when they get in the workplace. They said they won't be tolerated. It was a letter addressed to deans. About two dozen of the nation's top Wall Street firms warned that what is taking place on campus very well could have corporate consequences. And we know about donors backing out, people being upset by it.

We know at the University of Pennsylvania, especially, that's what's going to wake people up. Because you have a whole generation who thinks they understand a very complex situation, but it's so obvious. October 7th should have galvanized people for Israel, for the Jewish community. In some cases, it just brought out their enemies. But you're trying to say to everybody, don't ever emphasize the anti-Semitisms, it's only in pockets.

100%, 100%. Um for every person tearing down a sign, there are just just Thousands and thousands of people who find that absolutely disgusting, abhorrent. The truth is coming out. The woke lash is in full force right now. I find the The American people are truly uniting around Israel.

They're uniting around the Jewish people. And yes, there's some pockets of anti-Semitism, but look, we are not weak people. We have stood up. to much worse thing. Then the editor of The Harvard Law Review.

Screaming at the top of his lungs, okay? We don't have to be afraid of this. You know, I'll tell you another story. I was in an airport a couple weeks ago, right after this happened. I wear a big Jewish star, and there was a group of people that were waiting to board a flight that was going to Egypt.

There was a woman in a hijab and a group of men, and she saw my star and she started screaming at me, Palestine. Will be for you, and I sort of chucked. To myself, because I thought, you know, well, not if Egypt has anything to say about it, right? You're going to the place that actually wants dogs. I think that's a good idea.

Also, I thought to myself, you know what? This woman is leaving our country. She had a very heavy sickness. Accent, she's clearly not American. And you know what?

Let her go to you. Just let her be happy. Mm-hmm. Not You know, the American people feel about it. To scream in my face and demand that I answer for Israel, I'm happy to do that.

You know what? This is America. What makes America the greatest country on earth is it has always been good to the Jews. It has free speech protections, and those things go hand in hand, Brian. We cannot embrace the safetyism of the universities and suggest that Jewish students are quaking and can't stand up for themselves.

They can and they should. I mean, people just watch what the Army's doing now, taking on sometimes face-to-face combat and going to surrounding Gaza City, and the whole country serves for two years, men and women.

So you can't say, well, that's just the military. Everybody's the military. And then the reserves come up. You've got 600,000 people ready to fight.

So I think that's indicative. And you see the thousand people in New York alone that have decided to go back and fight for the IDF. I think that's pretty awesome. Yeah, yeah, very proud of the community right now. I think that Israel is finally united after a very divisive period, and you love to see it.

I mean, just the unity that's coming out of the country right now. I mean, it's horrific what had to happen to make that happen. I was thinking a lot about it because Yom Kippur was just a few weeks ago, and I prayed so hard that the Jewish people and America would find some kind of unity and overcome our divisions. And look what it took to make that happen. But we should really take, we should learn a lesson from Israel without having to go through what they went through, that we must unify around the values of this great nation and not allow the elites to divide us.

We are more united than we are divided. That's true. So, what column are you working on? What angle are you pushing?

Well, I have a hope I I believe I hope a piece coming out with Barry Weiss at the Free Press about all of this, about what it means to be a Jewish American today and why we need to not be afraid and why we need to be proud of being people who answer to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and not be not quake in the face of these leftist sociopaths. Right. Some of which are in the Jewish community that just don't seem to like Israel. Have you noticed that other people you've always been open, you watch all channels. Have you noticed other American Jews watching Fox more?

Because we're getting that. Oh, yes, absolutely. I think people have been extremely disappointed in CNN and MSNBC. I was saying to an Israeli friend the other day, I feel that even the BBC, which is known to be anti-Israel, is better than CNN at this point. It's very hard to watch.

I certainly take a lot of comfort in watching FODS. A lot of Jewish Americans are waking up and saying, my gosh, like I didn't realize how much. Anti-Semitism, there was on the left, although I sort of feel like were you living under a rock? I mean, like, what? And of course, there are, you know, a very tiny percentage of the Jewish community who is anti-Zionist, who are being held up as tokens by the squad so they can pretend that they're not anti-Semitic and say, Here, look, I have my Jewish friend who's also anti-Zionist, so I'm not an anti-Semite.

Of course, they are. Of course, it's still anti-Semitic. And of course, the rhetoric coming out of that caucus is deeply, deeply disturbing. Having two Jewish friends who are also anti-Zionist, sorry, that's not a a cover for you. That's tokenism and it's gross.

Yeah, and now I think it's going to be a very interesting time because we have a Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who evidently behind closed doors who is telling the Prime Minister we need a pause. I don't understand why you need a pause because people are still getting out and humanitarian aid is still getting in. Does that worry you that the Democrats will feel as though they're losing the Muslim vote when the President stands up for Israel and they'll start equivocating, get wobbly, so to speak? My read on Blinken and Biden at this moment is that they want their top priority is getting the American hostages out. That is not Israel's top priority right now.

Their top priority is decimating Hamas. And of course, those things are in tension with each other. Israel's trying to smoke Hamas out. They're stuck in those tunnels. And if they have a ceasefire, they can come out of those tunnels.

They can get air. They can get food. Right now, they're stuck down there. They're trapped like rats. And so Israel does not want to let up the pressure because they want to destroy Hamas.

Whereas I think the Biden administration thinks there's Americans there. Let's give them this pause. Let's get those Americans out.

So that's my reading of the situation. I think both are noble causes. I understand where both sides are coming from. I honestly, Brian, I think that President Biden looked at this situation and said he's willing to lose the 2024 election to do the right thing right now. And I think that was very noble of him.

I don't know if this is going to save him. I still think a lot of American Jews are looking at President Trump and saying, well, look, this was the guy who got us the Abraham Accords. And then looking at Biden and saying, this is the guy who gave the money to Iran. And that's going to play a big role. But I do think that Biden deserves a lot of credit for how he stood by Israel, despite the anti-Semitic caucus.

That he has to deal with. Right. Well, see, I never thought I saw such saw such I would see such divide in the Democratic Party. I mean, they have the squad and beyond that are just Cannot believe how pro-Israel the president is right now. But if you know that he and Netanyahu don't get along.

So they're talking multiple times a day.

So my hope is that American politics don't affect the military actions of Israel. Final thought party? Yeah, I mean, you know, Netanyahu has his own reckoning coming. The Israelis feel very, very betrayed by him, and I think rightfully so. But of course, that's not our business.

That's their business. They're a sovereign nation, and God bless them. But do you think that he's going to survive this? Is he going to finish out this campaign before he even has a chance to discuss what happened on October 7th? Historically, in Israel, they stand by their leader at a time of war.

No matter what, I don't know if he's going to make it through. A lot of people, I think, rightly blame him for the security failure. I mean, it was just so epic, and there's a lot of rage at him.

So, I mean, you know, that's the country's very united, but I think they're sort of united in their deep, deep disappointment with their leader. And so, we'll see what happens. All right, Batia. I'll talk to you soon. Pick up Newsweek.

She's the deputy opinion editor, Baty Unger Sargon. Stay safe, Batia. God bless you, Brian. All right.

Go get him. When we come back, we'll wrap up this hour. You listen to Brian Kill Me Chill. Don't move. Learning something new every day on the Brian Killmead Show.

A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Killmead Show. Tuskegee University. This is where Booker T. Washington began his quest to become a national and global figure.

He was named president of this institution. It wasn't nearly this nice. This is 3,500 students.

Now, the original building was about a mile down the road and it had a leaky roof. And he had no students, he had no teachers, and no funding. He had to change that in 10 days. And on July 4th, 1881, the 25-year-old did just that. He founded Tuskegee on the same principles he learned from Hampton, and that was on the head, the hand, and the heart.

And the head being academics, he knew that that was foremost important for these former slaves and their descendants. The heart was character strength. and service, and the hand was hard work. When he got to Tuskegee, he went into the rural districts to explore the life of the people and discover their needs. And what he saw surprised even him.

They were not only unable to read and write at the time, but some didn't even know how to use a toothbrush.

So that is the great-granddaughter of Booker T. Washington, and we'll also have the great-grandson Tweed Roosevelt. And I just wanted to talk about Teddy and Booker T. How these two American icons play the path to racial equality. And just talked about in a time in which America was very much divided in the South, separate but equal, separate schools.

Can't play baseball together. You can't go to the same school. You can't go in the same area. They were totally separate, living two separate lives. And the North was much better, but coming up together after the Civil War, you needed people to lead the way.

What about a white president born to affluence? And what about a black man born to slavery? And they both rise up through the most improbable means you can imagine, and they end up working together as they get to their highest office, only to make. The country better in Roosevelt's place. And in Booker T.

Washington, to raise the African American costs and let everybody know what the African Americans are capable of, they weren't fully aware. And to see this white president with this black guy treating him like an equal also changed the perception of a generation. Yeah, there's people that never understood it and never bought into it. But these guys changed things to the point where John McCain even mentioned the time it was controversial when Booker T. Washington came to dinner.

He said, remember it was controversial when a black man came to dinner with the white president, and now you'd have a black president now president of the United States. And if anybody who came would be guests of his. That's how far America came. That's going to be on a special that drops on Fox Nation Sunday. I'm going to talk about it a little tomorrow night on One Nation, a little bit on Jesse's show tonight.

I'm going to be hosting that. And you can see me on the road. I got a pretty cool. A book tour coming up. And at which time on the book tour, I'm going to countless cities.
