U.S. finally retaliates against Iran backed militias, but is it enough?

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

Well, welcome to the Brian Kilmead Show. I'm Mary Walter sitting in for Brian Kilmead. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and that you got to spend it just the way you wanted. For some people, that's with family and friends. For others, it's peace and quiet by yourself.

So However, you wanted to spend the holiday. I hope you got to do that. We um You know, because I was working today, so the afternoon we kind of like wrapped things up and was like, I gotta go because I have to put together a radio show. And so, so we did that, and my husband was on call in the morning, so we kind of didn't have a whole lot of room there.

So, we didn't do the family thing, we didn't travel, we stayed in town. Our little bar in town was open, um, but he doesn't advertise it, so like if you know, you know. And so, we went there, and I'm sure we're all gonna wind up with the flu after that. It's the only thing I could think of the whole time I was there. We were supposed to go to our neighbor's house, but they have the flu.

So, they sent all the food to our house. Just, I mean, not all of it, but they sent us enough for us. And they're Italian, she sent over lobster tails, and mussels, and shrimp. But they didn't do the seven fishes because they were supposed to do Christmas Eve, so they did some and a calamari salad.

So, a lot of there was a lot of seafood, which was wonderful and amazing and awesome. But I felt so guilty. I was like, oh, I felt so bad they couldn't eat the food. And so we somehow, you know, we wound up with a good chunk of it. And I felt a little guilty.

And one of our neighbors had an open house, so that's always a fun thing, too.

So we did that as well.

So, whatever it was that you did, I hope you got to. celebrate the way you wanted. You know, we used to go into Manhattan. On the regular, so my husband and I don't exchange gifts. We're like, we've never really done it, it's always been like our thing.

We used to exchange for Christmas, and then when you buy a house, we exchange for Christmas, but with a $50 limit, right? And now we don't exchange at all. What we did, we started doing is like we're gonna go into Manhattan, it's gonna cost us more than the $50 limit. We're gonna go into Manhattan, we're gonna have an experience. Instead of just buying things, let's have an experience, let's make memories.

So we would go to Mass at St. Patrick's, we would go and see the windows because Manhattan, I'll tell you, when Manhattan is dressed up for Christmas, it's truly magical. And we would always go to our favorite restaurant, go to head over to Patsy's, the restaurant, not the pizzeria, but the restaurant. And we'd always have a dinner there. And we'd always do it like the week before, the week after Christmas when everything's all trimmed out.

And I have to tell you, New York is such a dump now. We have not. been back, we haven't done it in easily three years. We were in the city last summer for the Gracie Awards and. It was disgusting.

I didn't recognize it at all. I used to wander in and out of Manhattan all the time. All the time, especially when I was working full-time more frequently at Fox. And I would take the train in, have no problem, wander around. I get the 1 o'clock train.

I'm walking streets down to Penn Station at 12:30 at night, no problem, didn't worry about anything. I was afraid at 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

So, we don't do that anymore. We have to make new traditions now because we're not doing that anymore. All right, coming up later this hour, Lieutenant Colonel Alan West will be joining us. He's a brand new grandpa, so I know that's what he did yesterday, but I'm sure he spent all his time with his new little grandson. But we're going to talk about 2024, some interesting things that have happened in the Middle East regarding American troops.

And we had some servicemen who were injured, one of them critically.

So we're going to discuss that with him. And also, some conversations on the border since he does live in Texas. But I want to open up the phones to you: 866-408-7669. 866-408-7669. And I want to talk to you about, I thought this was so interesting.

They did a poll and they basically found out that Americans are tired of Joe Biden living like a retiree. That's how they view him. that Americans now view Joe Biden living like a retiree. And look, you look at Joe Biden and you see your grandpa, right? And people are like, oh, well, Trump's old too.

But there's different types. People age differently, right? A lot of it, if you want to know how you're going to age, look at your parents. You know, pick your parents well. You can you can live healthy, you can work out, those all play into it, but ultimately a lot of it is dictated by you know your parents and and and your genetics.

But Joe Biden is an old eighty one. He just is. My parents are still, my parents are probably now, well, they're in their 90s, they're in their early 90s, certainly 10 years older than Joe. But they're developmentally like they're in their aging process now in their 90s, where Joe is in his 80s. My in-laws are in their, you know, almost mid-nineties.

They're still driving and they're fine, like, because the kids will send somebody with them just to see how they're doing. And they're great. They can still, I mean, they can still function. My parents are giving up. My mother hasn't driven in years, nor should she.

And my dad is voluntarily giving up his license. And we could talk about that because that was a discussion, too, we had over the holidays. But we see Joe Biden, we look at him as a retiree. That's not a good look for a President. And Gen Z is particularly tuned into this.

Monmouth University did a poll, and they found that sixty one percent of respondents disapprove of Joe Biden's job performance. Only thirty four cent only thirty four percent approve. And one of a Gen Z who is on with Fox and Friends, her name is Kale. Ogunboar told them that it has been reported that over forty percent of Joe Biden's presidency has been spent on vacation. And I think a lot of Americans, including Gen Z, don't want a President who seems like he's more retired Then he is, you know, being president.

Like he's retired for the next four years. That's how he's looking at this whole thing. That, yeah, I'm just retired for the next few years. They see how many countless pictures do we see of Joe Biden on the beach in Delaware all summer, right? Countless pictures of that It's not a good look, but they kept putting it out there with aviator glasses.

And I think it was a miscalculation on their part that they look at Joe Biden, his people, his handlers, and look at Joe on the beach without a shirt on and he looks great and he's walking in the sand and he's wearing his aviators and isn't he cool and it didn't come off as cool. At all. It just didn't. And that's a problem. Axios reported earlier this year that Biden only works on average thirty hours a week, and again, he was spending most of his weekends on the beach in Delaware.

And that visual was put out there by his team. White House aides have reportedly said that scheduling public or private events with Biden at certain times of the day is really hard because he doesn't start his day until 10 a.m. and ends it. At 4 p.m.

So there's not a big window there.

Now, and I'm not chilling for Trump here, but in contrast to Trump, who is up early, he's on the go all the time. Again, people age differently and in different capacities. Different things go. Like my mom can't hear anything, which is one of the reasons she's not driving and hasn't driven in a while, right? She can't hear anything.

And both my parents have macular degeneration. And my mom has a kind you can't treat, so she's almost blind. And my dad has a kind you can treat, but you know, they're finally giving up the license voluntarily. They live in a community. You know, they have their own place, but if they it's a progressive, so if they have to move into some kind of assisted living, they can.

But because there's a bus that takes him everywhere, my dad's finally like, Yeah, I'm giving up the license. And we thought for sure it was going to be a fight. We're like, Oh, he's been leasing a car year to year, which is good. It's first step. But we thought for sure it was going to be a battle.

And it hasn't been a battle.

So we were pleasantly surprised. But Again, my parents in their early 90s are functioning at a level that Joe Biden is mentally, anyway, and physically in a lot of ways. I mean, my mom is still, you know, still sprite, still running around, no mobility issues at all. My dad doesn't have any mobility issues at all. They're still, you know, they're fine.

If you didn't know that my mom can't hear you, you know, you wouldn't know that just by looking at her. And those are things you can make up for, right? If you want to jump in, 866-408-7669.

So they're scheduling public or private events with Biden for only between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Another Gen Z voter, Ryan Edwards, said I think he just lacks the cognitive ability to lead the country. I feel that over the last four years we have seen a constant decline in his true ability in leading America. And I think in order to lead the free world, to lead America, you must make hard and complex decisions in the blink of an eye.

And I don't think we have that in Biden.

Now, remember, if you're on any social media, the Democrats have their paid shills out there. The paid millennials, the paid Gen Zers, I'm Gen Z and I'm voting Biden. And they're out there and they're hammering it over and over and over again, which is where the Democrats are very smart and the Republicans aren't so smart. But they're like, yeah, I'm Gen Z, I'm voting Biden. And they've got them out there doing that.

But I don't think that's necessarily the case. And I'm curious, you know, if you want to jump in, do you agree with this? Do you think this is the case? Do you agree with the Gen Z that Joe Biden is leading a retiree lifestyle while he's the President of the United States? Maybe you had some conversations.

Yesterday. The day before, you know, over the holidays, maybe over Hanukkah, Thanksgiving. With some younger people, and I'm curious to see what their take on everything. was Very curious. To see if they're souring on Biden.

Are they still Biden all the way? Or are they hoping someone else will jump in? Young men. Young man high school and college age. Becoming more conservative.

and moving over to Trump.

So, Biden has a six-hour window in his day. He barely holds any press conferences. And when he does, he calls out the name of the person. He already knows what the question is, and he reads the answer that someone wrote for him from a card. It's hardly a press conference.

He does not attend a lot of events. And when he does actually have a press conference, he sometimes strays from the card and he screws up. And then they have to backtrack and clarify what he really meant, etc. And then you have the physical issue. Instances with Biden falling off the bike, tripping across the stage, you know, they've got to use the short stairs on Air Force One because he can't walk up the big stairs.

They've got him in special, you know, comfy shoes, which I don't mind the shoe thing. I don't care. Be comfortable. I think I'm with everybody on that one. Be comfortable.

That doesn't bother me. If it makes it easy for him, God bless him. That's fine. 866-408-7669 is my number. I will get to your calls coming up.

I'm Mary Walter on the Brian Killmead Show. There's no topic he won't touch, and there's no opinion he won't engage. On the great joys of my life, call in with yours at 866-408-7669. It's the Brian Killmead Show from the Fox News Podcasts Network. I'm Ben Dominich, Fox News contributor and editor of the Transom.com daily newsletter.

And I'm inviting you to join a conversation every week. It's the Ben Dominich Podcast. Subscribe and listen now by going to FoxNewsPodcasts.com. Radio that makes you think this is the Brian Kill Me Joe. I am also concerned about that.

I wonder who thinks this is a good idea, who is trying to pass this off as believable. I hope that Gen Z doesn't fall for this trap. For example, the Biden administration tried to pass out free student loan debt cancellation just to appease our generation.

So, hopefully, people my age don't fall for this trap, pushed by Joe Biden or whoever's actually in charge. And that was Kale Ogenbor on Fox and Friends talking about Gen Z. Looking at Joe Biden and their opinions have changed a little bit with what he wa, what they thought of him last time around, what they think of him this time around, saying he's on vacation all the time. perpetual vacation.

Well, actually, well, retiree. They view him as a retiree, you know, your grandpa. And that's okay. Grandpa's lovable. But not all grandpas uh can run the country.

They just don't have the ability. 866-408-7669. Steve on Long Island wants to jump in here. Steve, you're on the Brian Kill Me Chow. Hello.

Good morning, Mary. I prefer not to give Biden the excuse of diminishing mental acuity. Rather, I look at him for his policies that have been pushed out, and I liken him to Vinny the Chin Gigante, who was the head of a New York mafia family who feigned Alzheimer's for years until he finally got convicted in court. He used to walk around in his bathrobe. Absolutely pushed in a wheelchair, make it look good.

But here's the thing, like, though, you have to admit, I think we do. I mean, I think you can agree with me that we all, everyone ages differently.

Some people they go physically, but mentally, they're still sharp as attack. My husband's great aunt, his grandmother, and his two aunts lived into their hundreds. The last one to die was 107. But those three women in their 90s and into their early hundreds were doing the New York Times crossword puzzle together.

So physically, they had deteriorated. They couldn't really move around much and they needed help. But mentally, man, they could run circles around you. Absolutely. I mean, my mother's eighty nine and sharp as a tack, but she does have medical issues as far as physical.

I just the bottom line is his policies are what they are, and I look at them as killing the United States. But don't be because the next thing you'll do is you'll try to put Trump into the same mental acuity example because of age. And it's not that. His policies Biden's policies were created, they've been pushed out, and to, I believe, our detriment. But people are trying to give him an excuse And it's just, I don't, I don't want to buy it.

I want to liken it to, hey, it's his policies. He surrounds himself with people to carry him out. And don't give him a break. I mean, it's it is what it is. Yeah, I I agree with you.

I think he has to be held accountable, and these are his policies. And I think Gen Z is just looking at it, though, age-wise. I think that's just how they're looking at it. Whereas I think if You know, if you're a little bit further along and you're paying the taxes, although they're the ones who are going to be trying to buy houses soon, you look at that, and it is, they are his policies, and he needs to be held accountable. And as far as comparing him to Trump, they've tried that, but it just doesn't fly.

There's no comparison, it just doesn't work. And I think they've kind of given up on that somewhat because, yes, Trump is old as well. I mean, he's 70, what is he, 77?

So he's not obviously as old as Biden. And I'll tell you, and thank you so much, Steve. I appreciate the conversation. And I hope you have a wonderful new year. Very blessed.

Lots of blessings in 2024 for you. There's. There's a big difference, just like there's a big difference between 17 and 23. There's a big difference between 77 and 83. There are certain times in your life where, at least for me, I look at it and they're worlds apart.

You only may only be five years apart age-wise or eight years apart, age-wise, but developmentally. You're very different physically too, right? There's a big difference between a 16-year-old boy and a 23-year-old boy, right? 'Cause he's a man at twenty three. It's it's a huge difference.

So so I think when you get older though, there's that same period of time where there's a big difference between someone who is seventy five and someone who's eighty five. Health-wise. For the most part, are there outliers? Yeah, 100%. Of course, there are.

There are people who, you know, are super agers. And there are peop and you don't you just don't know.

So I just don't want to fall into that trap of saying that age equals mental ability, because I don't think it does. But to Steve's point, we got to hold him accountable for the policies. And to Gen Z's point, perception is a reality for a lot of people. Right? And the perception is that Joe Biden is perpetually on vacation.

He's never out there. He doesn't attend events. He never gives a press conference. And what he does, he stands there and reads a card that someone else wrote the answers to, right? Right on there for him.

So there's. There's that um That perception. That's a problem for them. All right, coming up, Lieutenant Colonel Alan West will be joining us. Lots to talk about the border 2024 and what is happening in the Middle East, all coming up on the Brian Kilmey Show.

Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. And I'm Mary Walter in for Brian Kilmead. By the way, if if you do not follow me on Twitter, could you do me a favor? Could you go to Twitter and look for me just because I s I was told you can't find me in the search, like, and I don't know why.

Just look for Mary Walter, no S. Or search on Mary Walter Radio, all one word, no S. Mary Walter Radio. Just curious if you can find me or not. You can give us a call.

866-408-7669. Very upset about the whole thing. This guy, though, you can find everywhere. Lieutenant Colonel Alan West joining us. You can find him at Alan West, A-L-L-E-N-West, right on Twitter.

He pops right up. He's an American Constitutional Rights Union executive director, former congressman from Florida. And, of course, he has many, many books out. He is a prolific author. You can find them at your bookstore, your local bookstore, and also on Amazon.

Alan, Merry Christmas Welcome to the show, sir. Merry Christmas, Mary. I pray you had a great Christmas with you and your family. And Merry Christmas to everyone out there listening. Yes, and congratulations.

I'm sure you had a very special Christmas because you have a brand new grandchild. And this was the first Christmas with your brand new grandchild.

So I'm sure I was thinking about you because I'm like, oh, I get to talk to him tomorrow. And he's having the best day today. Yeah, it was a real blessing. You know, our youngest grandson, Levi Allen, was. Born premature at 29 weeks, and we were just praying that he would be able to get home in time and be able to spend Christmas with us.

And so he was. Finally, released from the hospital. He was born the twelfth of October, released from the hospital about the first week of December. And yep, he was here yesterday for his first Christmas. And we got him a little Santa Claus suit, a little creamy Santa Claus suit, and he was just a doll.

Yeah, that was so I know that was a very special, memorable Christmas for you, and I'm glad that he was home. All right, let's jump into this.

Some news that we woke up to this morning that there were terrorist strikes on U.S. servicemen, and we have three American military personnel injured in the attack by an offshoot of Hezbollah, Khatab Hezbollah, terrorists in Iraq on Christmas Day. One service member was critically wounded. This has been going on for a while, though. Iraq has been firing at service bases, at American men and women on bases.

We've had over 100 attacks so far. What is the Biden administration doing to stop this?

Well, there have been some attacks going back against warehouse facilities and storage facilities and ammunition dumps, things of this nature. But there really has not been a wholehearted and concerted attack against these Islamic terrorist groups that are backed by Iran. They are proxy groups. We know that before Christmas happened, we saw the leader of the Houthi rebels come on television and say that they would intensify attacks against Americans if we responded. And they only do this type of thing because they sense weakness.

They sense a lack of resolve from this Biden administration. And again, I want to go back and remind people that it was in October of 1983, 40 years ago. That Hezbollah was responsible for, at the time, the greatest loss of life of American troops due to Islamic terrorist attack, and that was the Beirut Barracks bombing.

So here we are 40 years later, and we're still dealing with Hezbollah, an offshoot of Hezbollah, but basically Iranian-backed proxy terrorist organizations. And so we need to make sure that we are striking back at their capability and capacity. And also look at the shipping lanes there in the Red Sea and the Suez Canal that have been shut down because of the Houthis, and that's going to cause a supply chain issue.

So if there is something that we can rally the world to, it should be able to, with U.S. leadership. against these Islamic terrorist organizations. It seems to me as if we are on the brink of just a huge war breaking out in the Middle East, and it is Iran that is trying to make this happen. I think they see a window here.

They see a weak U.S. leader. Whereas, and I could be wrong, and maybe it's because I'm a Trump fan, I just don't think this would be happening under Donald Trump. I think the first attack would have been met with some kind of response that would have put them in their place to let them know we mean business. But when that didn't happen, I think they're emboldened.

And again, I'm not a strategist, but it seems to me as if Donald Trump knew how to handle this, whereas Joe Biden just doesn't seem to have any kind of policy. Maybe it's not Joe Biden's policy. Maybe it's Lloyd Austin's policy. Maybe it's somebody else who's in charge of this. Who's supposed to be making these calls?

Oh.

Well, it's supposed to be the president, the commander-in-chief, making these calls. But unfortunately, I don't think that Joe Biden is in charge. I think that. Barack Obama still has a big hand in the foreign policy of this Biden administration. I think it's a continuation of Obama's policy in coddling organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood chummying up to Iran.

But the thing is, if you ever read The Art of War by Sun Tzu, I mean, it really talks about how you can defeat your enemy before you even fire the first shot. And if you go back to the Trump administration, remember when he said he was going to move the embassy, the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv up to Jerusalem and all of these threats came out? Nothing came of it because he had defeated that enemy before they even thought about firing the first shot because they knew that there would be retribution for any type of attacks. And so when you have a Biden administration comes in, they want to bring back the Iranian nuclear agreement, a Biden administration that sends six billion dollars over to Iran, just the same as Barack Obama sent palletized cash in unmarked planes in the middle of the night to Iran.

You know, Iran was on the brink of collapse. We had, you know, really enforced the sanctions against them very harshly. That has not been the case with the Biden administration.

So now they're flush with oral revenues, which means Hezbollah and Hamas are flushed with revenues to go out and do what they're doing.

So it's all these things, policy-wise, all these things that have enabled them to. To go and do what they did. And yes, I think that's part of what happened on October the 7th with Hamas attacking Israel because they had been rearmed and refurbished, and also they saw a sense of weakness in this current administration. And there's a wind of opportunity, Mary, because they see this as this final year. And if America were to pull their head out of their you-know-what, and maybe get a different person in the White House.

They want to make as many advances as they possibly can. Right, right. That's why I think we're seeing a lot of things happen, and we're going to get to the border with you in just a couple seconds here. But the other news that came out, and of course it comes out on a holiday weekend, of course, but according to NBC, there was a phone call on January 27th between Biden's top military advisor, General Mark Milley, we all know that name, and the NORAD chief, General Glenn Van Herck. And this apparently was regarding the Chinese spy balloon.

Now, during this phone call on January 27th, Milley called Van Herc and said the Pentagon planned to send up F-22 jets and other aircraft to gauge the characteristics of the balloon. But Biden was not briefed on the balloon until February 1st as this thing's flying across the country. And we did not hear about it until the second when NBC broke the story. But they were apparently trying to keep this quiet.

Now, a senior Biden administration official is denying this, but NBC is reporting this.

So, this is not, you know, this is not some wild right-wing conspiracy theory. This is coming from NBC that apparently the administration and the military wanted to keep this quiet from the American people. Why would they want to do that?

Well, there are two things I think. First and foremost, they maybe wanted to keep it quiet from the American people because they didn't want the American people to understand and realize how weak and exposed we were in the fact that we had a Chinese spy balloon that had entered United States airspace and was hovering over some of our strategic military installations. And I think the other thing is politically, I don't know if they trusted Joe Biden with this information to be able to make a good and proper decision. And now, why do you think NBC is releasing all this? I think this is part of the undermining of Joe Biden going forward.

They have to look at a way. Yeah, they've got to look at a way by which they say that, you know, Joe, you know, you're a good guy and everything, and you got us past Donald Trump, but you can't take us forward. And so I just think that this thing with the Democrats politically can go all the way up to their convention where they have the super delegates and they can bring someone else in and get rid of Joe Biden. They don't want to have the immediate panic attack, but they're going to do a lot of drip, drip, dripping on Joe Biden to undermine him and Kamala Harris also. Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, they got to get rid of her too.

So before we go to break here, and I know you've been so kind to say that you will stay for two breaks, and I appreciate that because I do want to get to the border. But I just want you to listen quickly to John Kirby. This is cut for Eric. This is December 21st. John Kirby was asked about Joe Biden's foreign policy.

Achievement of the year. Listen to this. What would the President say is his foreign policy achievement of the year? this answer could go on for like twenty minutes, but I mean From the Indo-Pacific and the Quad and Akka Steel to get Australia nuclear-powered submarine capability to what we've done with supporting Ukraine, pushing back. They've clawed back more than 50% of the territory that Russia took in the early months of the war.

You think they, you know, obviously they did that through courage and bravery on the field, but they certainly did that with United States support. Look at what Israel has been able to do to put pressure on Hamas in the wake of the worst terrorist attack that they've ever succumbed to. I mean, I could go on and on. There has been, I think, if I had to bucket into one thing. One of the most important things he's done on the foreign policy front is shore up and revitalize our vast network of alliances and partnerships.

Do you agree with him? That's what he's done. He's shored up our alliances. That's his biggest accomplishment. No, I got to tell you, John Kirby still is an embarrassment to us who have worn the uniform.

Him being a rear admiral in the Navy, I don't know how that happened. That was a lot of spin. First and foremost, I would have come back if I was a reporter there in the White House correspondence room. I always said, but don't you think that his weak foreign policy is the reason why Russia invaded Ukraine or what Hamas did? I mean, don't you think his foreign policy decision to ease up sanctions on Iran and send them support sounds?

So again, I think that you have to look at his policies overall, and we are in a weaker position, and this goes all the way back to Afghanistan. that Afghanistan withdrawal, that debacle, really showed people that this is an administration you could take advantage of.

So no, there are no foreign policy successes for the Biden administration. Yeah, I didn't I didn't think so. And we we knew that when he was coming in, that he was always on the worst side of every the wrong side of every policy dis uh foreign policy decision uh ever made. All right, we've got more coming up. Lieutenant Colonel Alan West lives in Texas.

We're going to talk about the border. That's next on the Brian Kilmead Show. Politics, current events, and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say. Stay with Brian Kilmead.

The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead. I'm Mary Walter sitting in for Brian Kilmead. I'll be with you tomorrow as well. And with us is Lieutenant Colonel Alan West taking some time out after the holiday to join us.

We appreciate that. Thank you so much.

So you're on the border, sir, and we now know that Joe Biden. Has realized, or somebody's told him, that the b borders problem, not having a border is apparently not a really good optic for him in a election, in an election year. And so now he is apparently conducting emergency border negotiations with the Mexican president, Andres Manuel Lopez Oberdar, also known as AMLO. I would think that he would have no problem closing the border at this point because they got in the number of people they wanted to get in. They wanted to flood the country with bodies so that they could be counted in the census as all these blue states lose population.

They flood them, you know, flood the country with other bodies so that they can get their power back. At least that's what I think it is. Why now? Is it just because of the election? Is that the only reason this is happening now?

Well, absolutely right. Everything that the Democrats do, Joe Biden, his administration that they do is a political calculation to include trying to put a little bit of pressure on Israel to ease back on Hamas because of the loss of support they see with young people, especially up in Michigan.

So I don't understand why you're going to talk to the Mexican President about protecting and securing your own sovereignty and your own border. And when I look go back and think about what Admiral Kirby just talked about, this is another of the foreign policy debacles of the Biden administration. Over 160 different countries have allowed illegals to flood into our country. Of well, millions of single military-aged males gotaways. We have no idea.

The drug trafficking crisis, the human and sex trafficking crisis, and now we hear. We have a healthcare crisis with tuberculosis and syphilis. That is coming into the United States of America. And this has all been on Joe Biden's watch. But you continue to hear Alexander Mayorkas and Corine Jean-Pierre say that the border is fine and that the Republicans are the reason why the border is falling apart because they don't want to agree to comprehensive border reform or whatever, blah, blah, blah.

So yes, Joe Biden is going to try to clean this thing up, but still, you have tens of millions now illegal immigrants in the United States of America. Look at Chicago and look at the black communities they're pushing back or some of these other communities. But this has been a political calculation, and we know that they want illegals to vote in local municipal level elections, which means that somehow they'll be voting in the 2024 national election. You mentioned Chicago. This is Cut seventeen, Eric.

This is Mayor Brandon Johnson from Chicago, which these people elected. They voted for this man, who's more to the left than Laurie Lightfoot. Here's how he's spinning it. We have a governor. A governor, an elected official in the state of Texas that is placing families on buses without shoes, cold, wet, tired, hungry, afraid, traumatized, and then they come to the city of Chicago where we have homelessness, we have mental health clinics that have been shut down and closed.

You have people who are seeking employment. The governor of Texas needs to take a look in the mirror. of the chaos that he is causing for this country. This is not just a Chicago dynamic. He is attacking our country.

So it's not the Democrats' fault for the open border. Texas should just keep all of these people there. How dare you send them to the to sanctuary cities?

Well, you know, and I will say shame on Greg Abbott because he thinks that this is a cute political stunt. But when you understand the Democrats, they're always going to turn something against you. They're never going to take responsibility. They're not never going to put the blame on Joe Biden.

So what Governor Abbott should have done from the very beginning is to say that we're going to stand up. I know that he recently just signed the three pieces of bills into law, but they don't take effect until March the first. But he should have been doing what was necessary to protect the sovereignty of the state of Texas and in turn protect the sovereignty of the United States of America and send people back across the border out of Texas. But what he is really doing is aiding and abetting human trafficking and allowing this talking point from people like Brandon Johnson and many other Eric Adams in New York and even Gavin Newsom and the folks out in California.

So the right thing to do is stand by the rule of law, Mary, and stand by the Constitution and do what it states. And if the federal government is not upholding their part of the bargain, the guarantee clause of Article 4, Section 4, then states have every right to do what is necessary to protect themselves from invasion. Article 1, Section 10, Clause No. 3. And that's what Texas and Governor Abbott should have been doing a long time ago as soon as Joe Biden came in and said he was going to institute an open borders policy.

We have less than a minute here, but the only thing I want to say is those people who were standing up in those meetings in Chicago, and there was one man who said, we need Trump to get back in here and clean this mess up. This mess isn't going to be able to be cleaned up. These people are here to stay. They're never leaving. They're going to commit crimes.

We're not going to be able to deport them. But what kills me is they keep voting for this stuff. And I kind of, at this point, just don't feel sorry for them anymore. All right, we got to run. Lieutenant Colonel Alan West, thank you so much.

Have a blessed new year and a hug on that little boy, Levi, for all of us. Thank you so much for joining us on the Brian Kill Meet Show. Thank you, Mayor. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show. Brian didn't kill mead.

And welcome to the Brian Kilmead Show. Yes, that gentleman is correct. I am Marion Walter sitting in for Brian Kilmead. I'll be with you tomorrow as well. Lots to talk about.

You know, you're always welcome to join in anytime, anywhere along the line. 866-408-7669. I'll get your calls as soon as I possibly can. Also, you can follow me on Twitter at MaryWalterRadio. There's no S in that.

Although, I have been told that if you type in my name in the search bar or you type in Mary Walter Radio in the search bar, it doesn't come up. It doesn't autofill. It doesn't come up. And if you have that experience, please give us a call. Let me know that.

Because I was told just stay off Twitter for a couple of days, so I've been staying off Twitter. I don't know, supposedly that fixes it. I have no idea because you can't get a hold of anybody at Twitter to fix anything.

So, 866-408-7669. Our next guest here, Bethany Mandel, she wrote a book with Carol Marco. It's called Stolen Youth. This is so important right now: Stolen Youth: How Radicals Are Erasing Innocence and Indoctrinating a Generation.

Something that our eyes were opened to during COVID. And I have so many questions. You can find her on Twitter at Bethany Sean Dark, S-H-O-N-D-A-R-K. Bethany, thank you for taking the time to join me this morning. I love this topic.

Thank you. I do too. I could write a whole book about it, in fact. But I'm bummed. She's here all week.

Tip your ways. I am. One of the things we were really seeing this in this indoctrination that is so shocking to me is a Harvard Caps Harris poll found that two-thirds of voters between the ages of 18 and 24, when it comes to Israel and Hamas, believe that Jews are the oppressors and should be treated that way. 73% now of all voters think that that's false. But this younger cohort, 18 to 24, believe that Hamas is the victim in all of this and that the Jews are the oppressors.

And they know nothing about the Holocaust. They know nothing about the history of the Jews in the world. And to me, this was so shocking when I saw this. What happened? Yeah.

I mean it's it's a it's a confluence of things. There is the TikTok influence, which really cannot be understated. And not just TikTok, but also Instagram. Um but we have We have a foreign state, we have China. trying to foment ignorance and anger and hatred and they're they're very successful.

I don't understand why the American government have not taken forceful action against TikTok here in the United States. It's long overdue. But we also have A generation of, I'm like, sorry to say, stupid people teaching our children. And those stupid people have decided to put all of all of human existence and all of history, everything through the lens of oppressor and oppressed. And they have decided that Jews are white and wealthy and oppressors.

And they are completely ignorant of what life is like in Israel and also in Gaza. And I would just, I would love to sponsor trips for all of these influencers to Gaza and wave your rainbow flag and see how it goes. And then do the same in Tel well, actually, do it in Tel Aviv first because you won't survive doing it in Gaza City. But I mean, it's just a level of anger and hatred and ignorance. that is really terrifying.

And this is the next generation, and they are they are going to run the State Department. A lot of them already do. And it's not going to turn out well. You know, it's interesting you say that, you know, I want to send them there. We've I've always said there should be a reality show where you send these young people to the socialist country of their choice, like Venezuela, wherever it happens to be, and give them six months and s and keep f coming back and checking in to see how they're doing.

But they don't want to know. When you come right down to it, they don't want to know because it seems to me as if the worst thing in the, there's no cure, all right, two things. There's there's no intellectual curiosity whatsoever. Zero, none. They've been taught that their feelings are facts.

So the worst thing in the world for them, in their world that they can possibly imagine, is having their feelings challenged. They melt down. They can't handle it if you challenge their feelings with facts. lose it.

So I don't think you could you could do it. Yeah, I so I was progressive in high school. I went to a high school that did sort of class trips to Cuba when there was still an embargo and they illegally broke the embargo. You could not get crazier than the high school I went to on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. And I went to City College, which is another crazy place.

And I took a class. um called the politics of protest. And the the The point of the class was to write a 35-page paper about a protest movement. And I decided to write my paper about the Intifada and about how the Intifada was a protest movement. And so I read everything I could about the conflict.

And I was shook to my core. And at the end of it, because I mean, it was a little bit of a stretch, but I had spent the entire semester researching Israel and Palestine, so I couldn't really switch gears in like May when the paper was due in June. But the end paper that I turned in was that Zionism was a protest movement. Because I had done a complete 180 over the course of that semester. And that's really, honestly, that's all it takes is to read about the conflict.

To read about the many times that Palestinians have been offered a state. You know, one of the heroes, I think, of the last two and a half months has been Hillary Clinton. And it's because she watched Bill, she watched Bill get red-pilled by Arafat. They offered the Palestinians everything they wanted. And they turned around and started the Intifada.

And when you hear all of these people screaming globalize the Intifada, what they're screaming for is the mass murder of Jews. That's what the Intifada was. And all you need to know is just the basic history for you to be red-pilled about the conflict. It it's so fright it's frightening to me because I in the last, what, two months, I've agreed with Hillary Clinton and John Fetterman. It is turning my world upside down.

I know. I know it's really, I mean, Fetterman has been kind of a hero on several things, but especially, so I was on Capitol Hill with families of hostages and also people who survived on 10-7 in Kafaraza, which was one of the hardest hit kibbutzes. And I was with a survivor from Kafaraza walking through the halls. And when she saw all of the hostage posters outside of Fetterman's office, she cried. And she stood there and she pointed to, this is my daughter's babysitter, this is my neighbor, this is my best friend's son.

She stood there doing this and one of Fetterman's employee like one of his staffers came out and stood there with her and cried with her.

So it's not just Fennerman, who I'm going to give like the kudos to, but also his staff have been incredible. And they're young. The Staffers are young people.

So there's got to be some kind of awakening, some kind of knowledge happening. Is this, though, what really drives the Democrat Party apart? And I know the book is really about the kids, but it really comes down to that because they've really counted on the young people who not it's not their fault. They have been indoctrinated from a very young age. They've been kept purposely ignorant on a lot of things so that they can be indoctrinated.

But I wonder if this is the thing, though, that really drives that wedge. There are so many Jews who live in this country, although shockingly most of them are very, very liberal. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, and I count a lot of them as my friends and my family. And I think it's been very difficult emotionally and intellectually as well to watch.

This bifurcation of their party. And it's, I mean, I understand it also. I mean, the the right isn't perfect either on this issue. It's been very disappointing seeing Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.

So I get their discomfort with it, but there is a real fundamental problem on the left. That is very disheartening for people who consider themselves to be Zionists and not just Jews, because it's very easy to see who is right and who is wrong in this conflict. The people who will go into a home and shoot a baby in its crib are the bad guys, unequivocally. And I think it's hard for folks on the left. in many different areas to say there is a fight between good versus evil, and there are clear lines.

But I think that we're witnessing a real moment for the Democratic Party because there's a lot of people who are disheartened on both sides. There's a movement of Muslim Americans who are saying, I'm not going to vote for Biden because of his pro Israel stance.

So I it's it's a pretty interesting time. It really truly is. And this book is so timely. Kudos to you and Carol Markowitz for seeing this on the horizon. And I know this had to have been written before 10.7.

Yeah. Right. And then that happened.

So you guys had the foresight to see this coming. And a lot of credit to the both of you. And I know you go into, and we're not going to have time to get to it, but there's, again, so much in this that we can talk about. It's really a must-read if you're a parent, especially if you have younger children or if your kids have been programmed. This could be a little bit of a self-help book, but homeschooling, more and more people are homeschooling, the advantages of homeschooling.

So there's a lot to talk about in here. Also, I would assume, you know, with 2024 coming up, there's a lot of parents who want to just rip their hair out with their young kids because the younger they are, the more indoctrinated they've been. And they're really tiny little warriors, and you can't talk to them. Yeah, no, it's it's terrifying. I mean, we wrote it because we saw it happening in our own families.

Carol has three children and I have six. And we felt like, you know, every time we turned around, every time we opened a book, every time we went to the library, every time we turned on the television, every time her children went to school, I'm having the issue, by the way, in homeschooling circles as well. There is awokeness. Problem within the home school community that folks aren't talking about. And it's hard to discern what is and isn't okay until you actually buy the curriculum and you get it in front of you.

So all of these issues, it's just everywhere. And it's manifest these issues are manifesting in polls like you see in Israel and Palestine. But it's truly a suffocating experience feeling like all you want to do is raise happy, resilient children who have a basic understanding of math, science, history, and can read. Because for every minute that they're spending on indoctrination, they're not spending on math, they're not spending on literacy, and you see it reflected in the test scores. Oh, 100%.

Absolutely. Bethany Mandel, she wrote the book, Stolen Youth: How Radicals Are Erasing Innocence and Indoctrinating a Generation. She wrote that with Carol Markowitz. And again, if you have kids, this is a must-read for you. I think it'll really help you out.

Thank you so much.

It's available in your local bookstores, it's available on Amazon as well. Thank you so much, Bethany. Really appreciate it. Have a wonderful 2024. Thank you.

Same to you. Absolutely. Thank you. 866-408-7669. Let's talk about it, especially you're with the kids.

You maybe have some college-age kids who have come home. Let's talk about what we're seeing in your kids because there's so much more to this that I want to bring in that we're seeing in some of the older cohort, the 30s, the mid-30s, older 30s, 38 years old, that they're waking up to some of this stuff. And it's tough for them. This is really hard. We've done our kids a disservice.

And I want to get your opinion on all of this. 866-408-7669. I'm Mary Walter, in for Brian Kilmead. Expanding your knowledge base. It's the Brian Kilmead Show.

The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead. I'm Mary Walter sitting in for Brian Killmead. The number is 866-408-7669. And I want to talk about it, we were just speaking with Bethany Mandel, who's the co-author of Stolen Youth.

She wrote it with Carol Markowitz. And it's about an entire generation that hasn't been educated. They've been indoctrinated. And that was the gift of COVID. We got to see that.

Parents started paying attention to what their kids were learning in school. And they would come home from college, and the parents would be like, wait, who are you? What happened? Right. And they didn't realize that their kids were being indoctrinated in younger grades.

And this is going all the way down to preschool. And so there's a couple of things that I want to talk to you about regarding that. And I'd love to get your thoughts on what you've seen maybe with your kids, your grandchildren. Nieces, nephews, etc. 8664087669.

866-408-7669. Because while I do think a majority of um generation, generation I have have been very indoctrinated and are very, very liberal, and their facts are feelings. And if you ever watch any of the reality shows, so I watch Married at First Sight, and every now and then I bop in and out, but not so much to um Time. But you watch these shows and they talk about, I understand you're standing in your truth, and I respect that. I'm like, who?

Who talks to each other like that? Who does that? They all sound like they're in a therapy session every time, because most of them are in therapy. when they talk to each other.

So, I'm just curious what your observations are. Because I do think that to some extent the pendulum is starting to swing back the other way. And on the other side of the break, I'll share some of that with you from a woman who was on Fox and who shared this. She's 38 years old and realized: wait a minute, a lot of what they taught us isn't true. Like, now it's hitting her.

But you have these kids, you've got kids now who. Had student loans, right? And they listen, I don't blame them for what happened with the student loan. Part of me blames you, like, look, you signed a contract and you chose a major that you could never get a job in. That was your choice, right?

That was on you.

So now that you can't get a job in underwater basket weaving, I'm really super sorry, but that was your choice.

Now it's your passion, but now you got to pay it back. They were never taught, though, that You know, you do what you have to do to pay the bills.

So, if you have more than one job, well, welcome to your 20s. Most people in their 20s have more than one job. When my husband and I first got married, I was almost 30 years old. Between the two of us, at one point in our lives, we had five jobs between two people. Five jobs!

But we did what we had to do in order to not only pay the rent, because we were renting, we were renting until I was almost 40, you know, to pay the rent, but also to pay back student loans, which I had to do, to pay car notes, which we had to do, and to also at the same time put some money away. We didn't own a couch. We didn't own a couch until we were in our mid-40s. All right. We sat on the floor to eat dinner in front of the TV.

But those are the things that we did in order to save up money so that we could have a nest egg so we could buy a house. We had our house for a long time. It didn't have a couch. But that's what we did. You know, friends came over.

We had folding chairs. We had other chairs that were all hand-me-downs from family that didn't want stuff anymore.

So we took a liking to antiques, and everybody gives you their stuff. That's a great way to furnish a house. Antiques that nobody else wants. It's fantastic. 866-408-7669.

But you have these kids who have borrowed money to go to college.

Now they've had to start repaying. They got almost three years of a reprieve because of COVID.

Now, the responsible kid, the kid who's been trained well, has been taught fiscal responsibility, would be putting money away so that when the bills come due again, when you have to start paying off your student loan, you can pay off a huge chunk of it and not be paying as much in interest. But apparently a lot of them didn't do that. We heard stories where they were buying cars and they were buying houses and they were doing all these things. Forty per cent of the twenty two million borrowers who had bills that were supposed to start repaying them at the beginning of October Haven't made a payment yet. They're just not paying it.

And the attitude is: well, who cares? I'm never going to have enough money to own a house anyway.

Well So that's why you're not going to repay your debt?

So there's a lot going on here, and I want to get your input on this and what you're seeing with your friends, your family. 866-408-7669. And is this all going to straighten itself out? What do you think? I'm Mary Walter.

Your call's next on the Brian Kilmead Show. He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Killmead.

And I'm Mary Walter sitting in for Brian Kilmead. 866-408-7669 is the number. We were just speaking with Bethany Mandel, who wrote Stolen Youth with Carol Markowitz. And it's about the indoctrination of now basically a generation and a half and how parents and Americans in general, we had no idea. We just knew our kids were coming back from college and they were really weird and, you know, we're super liberal.

And we're like, oh, it's a phase. But it turns out it's happening younger and younger and younger. Just as one example of millions of kids who have college loans that are due. And they had almost a three-year reprieve.

So I worked it out because the average loan is about $250. And they didn't pay it for three years. Had they put that money away every month, they would have $9,000 in the bank.

So paying it back wouldn't be that big of a deal. But a lot of them did go out, buy cars, buy, do other things instead of putting the money away. Because now I don't have to pay this loan. And I don't know whose job is it to teach fiscal responsibility? Is it the parents' job?

Is it the school's job? How many parents don't teach their kids that? I look at you. Right? But thanks to COVID, we finally started paying attention to what our kids were doing.

Which was a big deal. Here's, I want to go to this. Before I get to your calls, and I will get to them. ASAP, I promise. But there is a movement on TikTok with not for not to not pay your taxes, and it's among Gen Z and millennials that they're going to go on a tax strike.

So I want you, this is Curly Beauty on TikTok. And so listen to how the thinking goes. And they're going to really show us they're not going to pay their taxes. I'm not paying taxes in 2024. I have seen a lot of videos like this, and I absolutely love them.

It's typically about our taxes and the student loans. And quite a while ago, I saw a creator on here say, realistically, if we were all to stop paying our taxes, if we were all to stop paying our student loans. all of the banks across America would essentially fall. Even if it was just like Maybe like four million of us, right? Like, there are enough of us.

That could actively crash the banking system here in America.

So beyond the flawed lot logic, Doesn't make any sense because it wouldn't crash the banks. But apparently, that's a good thing. They think that crushing the banking system is a good thing. I guess total anarchy. They have no idea what the hell they're talking about.

Here's another one. This is Third Jeff Third J Firm on TikTok. This one has a little bit of sense. Racist little racist, but a little bit of sense in it. Girl, let's talk about this tax strike that's going around on TikTok channel.

Now I personally feel like the world will never get better as long as white men are running it, but that's just my personal opinion. But what I don't agree with is not paying your taxes to prove a point or to go on strike, because here's what's going to happen.

So when you choose not to pay your taxes and you owe the IRS a substantial amount of money, they will do two of two things. They're going to contact your employer and they're going to start garnishing your paychecks. They can do that. And then I'm gonna contact your bank. And they're going to seize your bank account.

So, I need y'all to be a little bit more strategic about what y'all are trying to do. I think that y'all need to find another method.

So she's racist, but at least she understands how taxes work. But people paying taxes have no idea how they work. None whatsoever. All right, so we're talking about your calls. We're going to get to your calls right now: 866-408-7669.

Talking about what you've noticed with your children, maybe your grandchildren, nieces, nephews, that kind of thing, who are in this age cohort where feelings are facts and they spout off on things like taxes, and they have no idea what the heck they're talking about. And if you challenge them, they melt down, they can't handle it. And it really has been indoctrination. And I'm curious if anybody sees it swinging the other way because I do see it somewhat swinging, starting to swing the other way. Let's start with Charles in Missouri.

Charles, you're on the Brian Kilmead show. Welcome. Hey, thank you. Appreciate you having me. Of course, go ahead.

Yes.

So I think I'm a retired school administrator. And one of the things I've seen over the years is that as we think about educators in the Midwest and the Beltway, East Coast, West Coast, Yeah, I've worked all work with uh school leaders all across the country and and we we talk a lot about the same things. But one of the things that I think that we have to be really careful of and when we when we talk about our our educators, we've got we've got some great ones out there and we do have some that uh probably need to find a different line of work. But at the same time, I think it's from a political standpoint, we have to think about the communities in which our educators come from. And what I've seen is that in more liberal communities, you'll have more liberal educators working in schools.

And you hope that they don't bring the politics to the classroom, but sometimes they do. In more conservative communities, you'll see more conservative teachers in the classrooms because they're really a reflection of their communities. And so and sometimes you'll have conservative teachers teaching politics in the classroom and bring their personal beliefs to the classroom.

So I think you see a little bit of that both ways. But but there's certainly a lot of challenges, I think, in in in terms of uh what what educators see across the country. I know I've seen over the last uh twenty, twenty five years just just be more and more Um being put on educators uh that that don't really you know things that don't really belong in the classroom Um and getting having to get away from reading, writing, math. Mandates that come down. from federal level that that you know, trickle right on down to the states and then to the local uh municipalities.

And it makes it a real challenge, I think, for educators to stay focused on the work.

So I think we've diluted our education system to a large degree simply due to federal and state policies that have come down over the years and react. To made the issue of the day. And I think it varies again from community to community, state to state, based on the politics. Um of the communities.

So, I will agree with you. First of all, teachers are like any other profession.

Some are good, some are bad, right?

Some are mediocre, some slide by, whatever it happens to be. It's the luck of the draw, the class that your kid gets into.

So, I get it. It's like doctors, some are really great, others, eh, not so much, right? The difference is you can sue doctors if you don't like them. You can't sue teachers. But I think that the whole idea of politics in school is new, and you're right, it goes both ways.

I can see that, but. I I never knew the political party of any of my teachers. I never knew if they were gay, straight, or otherwise. I never knew I never knew they had a life outside. Like, if you saw a teacher outside of school, you're like, oh.

What? I thought they just put them in a closet at school. And like the idea of them having a life never occurred to us. That has changed.

Now we have to know everything about their lives. That I think needs to be walked back. That's one thing. The other thing is, you're right. We are tasking them with too many things that they have to teach our children, things that parents should be teaching their children, like finances, right?

My parents taught us all about finances. We had to get jobs. You had to learn about it. My parents made me open a bank account. They took me to the bank, and I had to learn about putting my money in the bank and how much of my money had to go in the bank first.

And then, you know, all of that stuff, and budgeting, my money, and all that, was all taught at home. That's not something I think teachers should be doing. Teachers should be doing the basics, and then it needs to be reinforced at home. Too much, 100% agree, is being taught we want the teachers to do.

So I think that's a great point, Charles. Thank you for making it, and people have to realize it. They're your kids. Ultimately, you raise them. The teacher we send them to school for the teachers to educate them, you know, the basics.

But it's up to you as parents to then look, know what your kids are learning in school. Again, this is something that I think COVID gave us, that parents started to pay attention to what their kids are learning in school. Because you may find out, oh, I don't like what my kids are learning in school. Ah Who knew? And that's what a lot of us found out.

Let's go to Tom in Virginia Beach. Tom, you're on the Brian Kill Meet Show. Hi. Yeah, hi, Mary. Going along with what you were just talking about, maybe that's the weak point.

Maybe we attack through these teachers who are. Cowardly and allowing this to happen, who may feel like us but are protecting their job or their tenure or there. Retirement, whatever you want to call it. And maybe that's the weak point. Maybe we go with them because a lot of those teachers have to feel the same way.

They can't all be cowards. But it's, you know, I get that that's really hard to do if you're in the minority somewhere, especially if you live in a very, you know, a blue state, a blue area where the teachers' unions are super strong. I know some that have just retired. They just retire early. They're like, I'm out.

They just don't want to do it. Teaching's hard. Kids are undisciplined. Parents don't discipline their kids.

Now it's suddenly up to the schools to do that. You know, kids are bullying. It's up to the school to handle instead of the parents.

So things have changed a lot in basically a generation and a half. And it's been totally upended. I think it's hard, though, to expect them to. to do that. I don't know if you can.

I don't know. You know, some people are like, it's not worth my job. I gotta feed my family. I can't lose my job. I don't wanna be run out of a tenured position because of this.

So they're quiet, and I kind of get it. But what about we have uh Teacher meet and greet. You know, I have grandchildren now, but I have. Three kids also went to school. You know, what what They they want to tell us all about what they find out about our children.

We need to find out about them. I will say to you, the ones who are super liberal, you probably already know. They're the ones who are telling their ki telling your kids about their pronouns, right? They're the ones who and and just look for the the purple hair or the green hair or anything along those lines, and that sh that's your tell right there. That it's like how they mark themselves in the wild.

Is the different hair color? But I would think that the ones who are very liberal, you probably already know about. But I don't think there's anything wrong with asking a teacher certain questions. If they want to know everything about your kids, I kind of want to know who's teaching my kids. I think a lot of teachers would welcome that.

I think it's not a bad idea. Tom, thank you so much. Have a wonderful new year. Hope 2024 brings you a lot of good stuff. More of your calls coming up.

866-408-7669 is my number. 866-408-7669. You can find me on Twitter at Mary Walter Radio. If you have a hard time finding me on Twitter at Mary Walter Radio, if you would just give us a call and let me know that, that would be great. I'm doing a little experiment because people say they can't find me.

So if you're not following me and you go to follow me and you can't find me, I would like to know that. All right. So your call is coming up on the Brian Kilmead Show. Educating, entertaining, enlightening. You're with Brian Kilmead.

Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. And I'm Mary Walters sitting in for Brian Kimmy.

So we're talking about Gen Z and Millennials. Gen Z calling for a tax strike. because they know nothing about how the tax system works. We're gonna crash the banks! Like Okay, no, you're not.

Number one, number two, the taxes come out of your paycheck.

So, not quite sure how you're going to stop that. And if you don't pay what you owe, they're just going to come and take everything you have. But a lot of them feel like, well, I don't have anything, come and take it. Not paying back. 40% of those who owe on their student loans and were supposed to start paying them back starting in October aren't paying them back.

They're just not paying them back. I want to go to this. This is cut 20. This is a young woman. And she is 38 years old.

Her name is Melissa Pursling. And she was on with Fox News. And she wrote an article, she wrote an essay, which is what landed her on Fox. And she feels she represents the average 30-something woman in America today. And she feels that culture has failed her.

Listen to why she feels really failed by American culture. I wrote a lot of that article. Like truly scared. Like I really did think like Wow, you've missed your opportunity. Like, you are going to be alone.

You're not going to have a family like. I got all these horrible comments from men telling me I had missed my chance and that. I, you know, had been a stupid feminist who was focused on myself. which I thought was interesting, because like I said, I don't consider myself a feminist at all. I mean, for me, it's definitely started to feel hollow and meaningless.

And You know, it's taken me to this point in my life to realize. If I thought I. Would spend the rest of my life alone. I didn't think that I would get married and have. Children, I would be devastated.

She basically says that feminism, the idea of feminism, has failed her. And she wrote that for decades, our culture has failed women by spreading falsehood after falsehood about men, marriage, motherhood, and career. It's been a slowly daily drip of you-go-girl messages, specifically designed to delete men and babies from life's equation, and it has wreaked havoc on women's lives. And there are a lot of women, listen, there are a lot of women out there who are well-educated, have high-power jobs, making a ton of money, doing very well for themselves, and they can't find a boyfriend to, they can't find a mate. Because a lot of our young men on the flip side feel that they've been left behind.

We've kind of left them behind. And they don't want to marry a woman who makes more money than them. A lot of the women don't want to marry a guy who makes less money than them. And so you just have a generation where they're just not getting married. Because they don't know what their roles are.

There's such a thing as a role. You can have a role in a relationship, and they threw away the traditional roles. And I'm not saying if you get married, you have to have children or that kind of thing, but. There's, I don't know, there was a certain reason why grandma and grandpa did it in the order they did and wound up being very happy and lived long, healthy lives, right? Long lives together.

866-408-7669. So, talking about all the ways in which we have failed Gen Z millennials, and I look at their parents, we're the ones who failed them. Catherine in Galveston, you're on the Brian Kill Me Show. Catherine, welcome. Thank you very much.

It's been a very interesting show. Thank you. I have so much to say. You know, I am not a Gen Z year millennial. I'm Generation X.

And I feel like a lot of these things that the millennials and Generation Z are doing, it's about time. It's about time. You know, and I feel like every generation looks at the uh their children and thinks that they're a little crazy. I you know, I aside historically Yeah, generation of zero. But, you know, I I think that Um With the education system, you're focusing on the teachers, and I think teachers, just like anybody else, need to keep their job for their family.

And you're forgetting that they have absolutely no support, none from the administration. And you're right, we're looking into every aspect of their lives, and they're humans, you know. And I don't think the people that I work with know what my political affiliation is, and I never knew what my teacher's political affiliation is. And I don't think you should look at someone's political affiliation and decide that they can't teach your kids. You know, there's a place for your personal life and a place for your professional life.

And I don't think it's fair to say if you don't have a professional personal life that I like. You can't, you can't do your profession. But I agree. Listen, I agree with you there. I will agree with you there.

But I think, at least, I can't speak for the caller, but what I was saying, he was advocating, you know, finding out about their lives. I think, though, that if your teacher, if your kids' teachers are talking about politics in the classroom and professing their political beliefs and trying to put that onto your kids, that to me is a problem. And I think parents do have the right to know if that's happening. I agree. I agree with that absolutely.

I think that also as far as the feminism goes with women going back to work, et cetera, it's a very complicated issue. I mean, on the one hand, men have obviously, like you said, been left behind if they're not willing to marry a woman who is as successful in their career as they are. But I think we're also looking at Generations that are really being affected by their moms not being in the house. My mother did not work. But they my parents never taught me about financing and budgeting, et cetera.

Um, and uh You're right. At some point, you have to say, this is a parent's response. and this is the school's responsibility. and I'm not sure it's been well defined. No, I agree with you.

We've expected teachers to teach our kids everything, and that's not fair. They only have them for so many hours a day, and they should have the set curriculum, and that set curriculum should be reading, writing, arithmetic, the basics, science, etc. And all this other stuff, gender, sexuality, all that stuff, goes with the home. I'm sorry. We've got to take it back.

It's got to go back. Catherine, well said. Thank you so much for joining me on the Brian Kilmead Show. From High Atom, Fox News headquarters in New York City. Always seeking solutions, never sowing division.

It's Brian Kilmead. Yes, I'm Mary Walter sitting in for Brian Killmead. I get to be with you tomorrow as well. Very excited about that. All right, we're going to get to your calls coming up in the show: 866-408-7669.

I want to start this hour, though, with Yuval David. He is an Emmy Award-winning actor, host, director, filmmaker. He's won over 100 International Film Festival Awards. You can follow him on Twitter at Yuval, Y-U-V-A-L David. And right now, he is in Israel.

And we're going to go to him, but I just want to play this one piece. This is Benjamin Netanyahu talking about the war with Hamas and Israel's stance. We are not stopping. Whoever talks about stopping, there is no such thing. We are not stopping.

The war will continue until the end. Yeah, Israel is not going to stop.

So Joe Biden, anybody can say, yeah, we really need you to do a little bit of a slowdown. It's an election year. No, they made it quite clear that's not going to happen.

So let's see what's happening on the ground in Israel. Yuval, thank you for joining us. Thank you so much for having me on your show. It's great to speak with you and to hear your voice, Mary. Oh, you're so sweet.

Of course, we pray for Israel in church every week. We're always praying for you. What really bothers me in this country, and I want to start off with this, is, and I want to get the Israeli perspective on this: the split in America generation-wise, whereas our younger generation is out in full protesting against Israel and in favor of Hamas, a designated terrorist organization. How is that viewed from Israel? It is viewed oftentimes.

I hear people say chickens for KFC. It doesn't make sense. It uh anybody who's a true civil rights Social justice. and human rights activist needs to focus on the values. And what has been proven as that people are practicing a double standard when it comes to the Jewish people and to Israel.

So what I try to do, and suggesting all of these other people who are activists, including politicians and organizations, is to focus on the values. Speak to the value first. not the issue first. Frame the choice that you have on the value, seize the pro side of the argument, use your vocabulary and not theirs, and then you can talk about the actual issues.

So if somebody does believe in women's rights, LGBTQ rights, democracy, free elections, freedom of religion. then they need to be able to be on the right side of history. We're seeing people who are on the wrong side of history. It's interesting that you said you use your language, not theirs. That is something that the left is so adept at.

And I've been saying this for such a long time. They frame the argument. They take control of language. They determine which words we are allowed and not allowed to use, and which groups are allowed to use them, and which groups aren't allowed to use. And the right always falls into that, right?

Especially when you hear it when it comes to gender and other things, other areas. They're really good at controlling that. And with that, they control the message because they control the language. But I guess my question, what I don't understand is there's a disconnect. We also have an argument to that.

Do they control it? I mean, are they controlling it for themselves? Or do we have the control of our own vocabulary? We don't have to accept our opponent's underlying premise as valid. We need to focus on what we believe in and use the language the way we wish to use it.

We cannot let them occupy. And I hate doing us-them arguments. I much prefer the us-we arguments. But people have occupied the word occupation, apartheid, white supremacy. They're trying to shoehorn issues that do not fit the Arab-Israeli situation and the multiple Arab-Israeli wars that have existed.

They're trying to shoehorn issues that pertain to completely different communities, completely different histories, and then make an opinion on what is happening in Israel.

So, I hear what you're saying, but I want to empower you because you are a person who uses Strong language. You own your language. I mean, own it, girl, right? But you you that's what we have to think about and not let them feel that they have control over our freedom of speech. Yeah, no, that's an excellent point.

Excellent point.

So you're very involved in Hollywood. You are an actor. You were on the TV series Madam Secretary and so many other things. You're a director, producer.

So you're in the heart of absolute liberal America. And that's where a lot of this pollution comes from when it comes to the anti-Semitism and the rise of anti-Semitism in this country. Has this something that you've always seen being in that liberal cesspool? Or is this something that is shocking to you with what happened on January, excuse me, October 7th that just has kind of laid bare? Yeah, I mean, I even heard your flub talking about January, right?

It's. Is it a liberal cesspool? I wouldn't call it a liberal cesspool. I am part of the liberal, progressive, and LGBTQ communities. Yet there are horrible factions that, for some reason, are getting too many microphones, too many spotlights, and people are talking about them too much.

And the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I'm a true liberal, I'm a true progressive, and there are many people who I call fau gressives or regressives, because if you truly are an inclusion activist, that means you must include everybody. If you do believe in the power of the narrative and people having their own identity and the right to their identity, then that means that they need to respect that I have my own identity. We're seeing people who are being completely hypocritical. Yes.

It's existed, continues to exist and continues to proliferate within liberal, progressive, left leaning Hollywood communities, LGBTQ communities, all of which I am a proud member of, and I find it so disappointing, disheartening, disgusting. Undemocratic and un-American and un-LGBTQ and not progressive, and I will call them out. Calling out BS. when they say things that are Completely against the values that they claim to fight for. It is it is to me a split in the you see in the Democrat Party when you have people like John Fetterman who will walk right past a Hamas protest protesters draped in the Israeli flag.

That is like varsity trolling. I love it. I think it's wonderful because it breaks their little brains. It's fantastic. And you know what?

And there are many people within, like I said, the LGBTQ liberal progressive communities that find themselves confused and troubled by my sheer existence. Nobody can take my identity away. I am who I am. And I know so many other people who are LGBTQ liberal, left-leaning, progressive people who are proud Zionists because they believe in the self-actualization of the Jewish people.

Now, Zionists don't only need to be Jewish people. Zionists can be, and there are many Zionists who are Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Baha'i, Buddhist, Druze, Bedouin. There are so many people who believe that the Jews have a right to live their life. And to have socio-political representation with a connection to their ancestral homeland. Anybody who believes in indigenous rights.

should be a Zionist. The vast majority of Jewish people on the planet are Zionists because they believe that they themselves, their family, their friends have a right to life. But we're seeing language being used against us. We're seeing people try to take over and change narratives. It is up to us.

To not let that hate speech take over who we are, and we need to flood it with more speech. Agree. More speech is always better. Exchange of ideas is always better instead of shutting down ideas. Questioning and learning is always better than shutting all of that down.

Before we run out of time here, I just want to find out what it is like in Israel now. What is life like there now? I mean As an American Jew, actually I'm an Israeli Jew as well. I have dual citizenship. Since October 7th, I've been living as an American Jew in America with massive anxiety.

I feel like two-thirds of my friends are gone because they sided with just things that are so wrong, supporting Hamas, being anti-Israel, being anti-Semitic, and it's horrifying. And that is a common narrative, a common story that many Jews in America are sharing.

So, for all of your listeners, if you have not yet called your Jewish friends, your Jewish family, reach out and touch someone like whatever that ATT commercial used to be, make sure you call them because we're feeling alone and vulnerable. When I came to Israel, my anxiety was gone. I'm around people who are grieving together, mourning together. And it's this incredible feeling of belonging. Why That in America.

Jews are an essential part of the fabric of what it is to be American. And it's It's just Totally shameful that so many American Jews are struggling and feeling afraid. We have security outside of synagogues. Jewish schools, Jewish business owners are taking the signs off of their buildings to protect themselves and their employees. Jews are afraid in the U.S.

Anti-Semitism isn't on the rise, it's already risen. In Israel, Look, I was reporting live on the news and all of a sudden, there were sirens, and we all had to run into shelter. And it was just As I looked on my social medias, people were saying, oh, ceasefire now, have a ceasefire. How do you have a ceasefire with a terrorist entity that wants you dead? Are we supposed to put our guns down and our weapons down and not fight back?

It makes no sense.

So, Israel is fighting for its existence and for the existence of Israel and the Jewish people.

So, it's intense. A lot of hub. Hugs, tears, but a lot of solidarity, and it's beautiful. I'm so glad that I got to speak with you. It is such an honor that I've had this opportunity, that our listeners have this opportunity, because we're so far away.

We are so far removed from it. I can't imagine what it is like to live like that every single day with sirens going off and what that does to your psyche and what a toll it takes on your mental health. But the Israeli people are very, very strong. My money is on them. In any war, my money is always going to be on Israel, an incredible military, and they are fighting for their existence as they do so often, as they have been forced to do for so often.

Which the lack of education of our younger Americans to me is the next thing when this is over that we need to address, and we need to right that wrong. It has to be done. Yuval, David, thank you for taking the time to join us. Thank you for the work that you're doing. Keep fighting the good fight.

Your voice needs to be heard, and we really appreciate your time. I appreciate yours, and endless thanks go to you. I'm honored to be on your show, and thank you for sharing information and helping educate our people towards greater action. Absolutely. God bless you and may better times come in 2024.

You can find him on Twitter at UVAL David, Y-U-V-A-L-D-A-V-I-D. Your call's coming up. 866-408-7669. Mary Walter, in for Brian Kilmead on the Brian Kilmead Show. Coming to you on a need-to-know basis, because man, do you need to know?

It's Brian Kilmead. From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmead. Yo, I'm here in Tel Aviv, Israel. I just sat through that 47 minutes of footage. From October 7th, it is a Massacre, it's a bloodbath.

I'm glad I saw it. There's a lot of screaming, yelling terrorists saying Allah Wakbar. There's a scene where the guy's calling his father and his mom, bragging about the ten Jews that he killed with his bare hands. There's a lot of dead people. There's a lot of referring to Jewish people as dogs.

There's a lot of screaming, a lot of cheering. That is actor Michael Rappaport and You know He I think seeing that video that so many people have seen, I could not sit through it. I don't want to see it. I don't need to see it. It's the 45 minutes, 46 minutes taken from the.

The cameras that the Hamas assassins had on them after they were killed by the Israeli soldiers, they got these videos off of their body cams and they put together this video for all the people who are out there saying that none of this happened. And of course, those who don't want to believe will still deny it and say that, oh no, that was just made up. But.

Someone like Michael Rappaport, you probably didn't even know it was him because he wasn't screaming like a crazy person and frothing at the mouth the way he does on Twitter because he hates Donald Trump so much. But it is a very sobering moment. Because and not to make it all political, but you have the far left which is very pro Hamas, which is l a terrorist organization. And now you're seeing that split there. Where people who normally would be on your side in Hollywood, like a Michael Rappaport, is looking at Joe Biden, going, wait a minute.

Hold on, what's happening here? I very quickly just want to go to um Cut seven. This is Susan Sarandon. And then we'll jump to cut eight if we have time with Cynthia Nixon.

So these are, again, some of Michael Rappaport's tribe in the sense that they're all the Hollywood elites.

So here's Susan Sarandon, who, by the way, got slapped down, remember, because she was speaking pro-Hamas. She's kind of. Kind of honed her message just a little bit. You don't have to be Palestinian to stand with the Palestinian people. We do not have to be Palestinian.

to understand that the slaughter of almost five thousand children is unacceptable and a war crime. You shouldn't mention the Israeli children. And remember, there was peace. In October In Israel, between Israel and Palestine, the Palestinians, between Israel and Hamas, until Hamas decided to break. That ceasefire.

Here's one more: Cynthia Nixon. She's on the view. Cynthia Nixon with the yapping ants is on the view. And it's sad because I really, really like her in the Gilded Age, Cynthia Nixon. I may have to stop watching.

Here she goes. We have seen the deaths of over 16,000 civilians, Palestinians, in Gaza, which include over 7,000 children. And to put that in some kind of a context, that is more civilians than were killed by the U.S. and its allies in almost 20 years of war in Afghanistan. And the images coming out of Gaza, the children who have no water, who have no food, who have no homes, who have no shelter of any kind, weeping over the bodies of their slain parents.

Yeah, she's right for propaganda. Let me tell you. This generation would never have survived World War II because they're just going by numbers, by body count, and you're either an oppressor or a victim. And in their world, the Palestinians are the oppressed, and Israel is the oppressor because the Israelis appear white, they're lighter-skinned, and so therefore they're in the wrong. They know nothing about history.

They know nothing about religion, etc. They know nothing about what they're defending. They refuse to acknowledge, as our guest Juval David said, being gay and being pro-Hamas is like being chickens for Chick-fil-A. Cows for Whataburger. It's ridiculous because they would kill you in a heartbeat.

If you're gay. You're not allowed to exist. These women. Oh, it's just crazy. All right, we've got more coming up.

I'm going to get more of your calls on this: 866-408-7669. And I'll open it up to a lot of things that we've talked about here on the Brian Kilmey Show. A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. I'm Mary Walters sitting in for Brian Killmead, and I'm with you tomorrow as well.

I'm looking forward to that. If you'd like to join me, 866-408-7669 is my number. Also, I do have a podcast, it's on Tuesday nights. I don't think we're doing one tonight for obvious reasons. But I do have a podcast.

It's on Tuesday, 7:15 Eastern Time. It is live on YouTube and Getter. Just look for Mary Walter Radio. And you can participate, you can leave comments, questions, etc. And then the audio is up on Apple Podcasts and Spotify later on, about an hour after the show.

I get it up there.

So normally it would be tonight, but I think tonight and next week. Due to the timing, we probably will not have podcasts. But you can still go check the other ones out. All sorts of guests, all different guests.

Sometimes, no guests. We talk about politics. Everything.

So, Lieutenant Colonel Alan West, one of our guests recently, and he's co-hosted with me.

So, please check that out. All right. 86640-87669 is my number. We've talked about a lot, especially about Gen Z and millennials and some of the things that they're dealing with. And I think as they get older, they start to come to the realization that maybe some of the things that I was taught as even as a young child may be not so true.

We talked about young women waking up and saying, wait a minute, this feminism stuff that I was taught that I can have it all, that didn't work out. And now I'm 38 years old and I'm alone and I'm starting to realize I'm never going to have a family. And I've always wanted a family, but I was told that I don't need that. And they're unhappy, deeply unhappy. You have uh you have them the uh college age kids, or kids who were out of college just recently, so I guess that would be Gen Z, Gen Gen X, whichever.

I can't get them straight. But they've chosen just not to repay their loans, forty percent of them. And they don't think it's a big deal because I'm never going to be able to buy a house anyway, it's so expensive.

So they don't care about ruining their credit. Because I'm never going to have a house. Who cares? And you're out of college, and that's the life lesson you took out of college. That's one of the life lessons you got: you're never going to be able to own a home, so don't pay your loan back.

I don't know, things could change. The stock you know, the housing market could crash, and homes could become very affordable, and you're not going to be able to buy one. Because you wrecked your credit. This idea of you took the loan out, you have the responsibility to payment just doesn't register. We've been talking about Israel as well.

We've been talking, we touched on the 2024 race. You have the GOP drafting bills to remove Biden now from ballots in Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania. You've got Gavin Newsom saying no, we should we should beat him at the ballot box. This is wrong. Interesting to see where that goes.

I'm waiting for the Supreme Court. Surprised they have not come down with a ruling on this. I'm waiting for it. We should hear from them soon.

So far nothing. 866-408-7669. If you'd like to join us, let's go to Virginia and John. You are on the Brian Kilmead Show. Hi, John.

Good morning. How are you doing? I'm doing great.

So, which topic did you want to discuss? Israel. And well, just how things have gone in in this country. I'm a U. S.

Navy veteran. I served in the early eighties. I'm originally from New Jersey and I live in Virginia now, but When I was in eighth grade, I went on a class trip and So Three pictures. One was at the World Trade Centers. The Twin Towers, and another one was of the Statue of Liberty, and another one was of the Statue of Liberty with.

the twin towers behind it.

Something that no one will ever, ever be able to see again. Right. Uh Six years later, I'm in the Navy. Uh nineteen eighty three. This is before the Marine Barracks is blown up.

I'm on the USS Eisenhower. Guess where they're at right now? and we pull into Haifa Israel, and we take a Me and another sailor take a Train ride to Jerusalem. And on the train ride, we meet a lady and another gentleman and who are traveling separately. And ten IDF soldiers.

who are fully armed with automatic weapons, M sixteen's.

something we had never seen in this country before. And So when we got off the train in Jerusalem. This other sailor and I had a picture taken with the IDF soldiers on the Jerusalem platform, and their Jerusalem platform signs right above us.

So you can see where we're at. I always said Good. if we start seeing Believe me. Armed with automatic weapons, policemen, whatever in this country were doomed. Um In Now we have fully armed policemen Soldiers Mm-hmm.

walking around our city streets and you can't see the World Trade Centers anymore. They're gone. Right. So what Let me ask you: since you've been in the military, you have traveled around with the military. By the way, the sacrifices you have made, I'm so grateful for because I know I never had the guts to do something like that.

So I truly appreciate people who have the guts to do something like that. It's either in you or it's not. And not in me, but I'm so grateful for the people who do have it. When you see what's happening, when you see that Iran now is lobbying missiles at our soldiers. We have three service people who were hurt, one of them critically, in one of these attacks on Christmas Day.

When you see that, I fear, and I don't have the knowledge you do, but I fear that this is going to blow up. They're trying to drag us into a shooting war. And we've depleted a lot of our resources. We depleted our petroleum reserves. We depleted our ammo.

We gave so much of it to Ukraine.

So we've we're and our fighting force is at one of its lowest since what, 1940, I think something like that.

So we America is not at its strongest right now.

So is this being done purposely and at this time purposely because of America's weakened position? Um I believe yes. All of the above. My father was a veteran of World War Two. Before the war, he was in the cavalry.

He was still riding horses. My mother is a Warbride from England.

So, you know. serving is in the family. My brother was a Navy veteran. He served there in Vietnam. Um it's What's happening to our military is It's And my sister and I had a conversation about this yesterday, talking.

She lives in California. But, um, The military is not a social experiment. Right. Of the United States. Without the military, the United States would not.

D what it is today.

Now you might not like that, but It's a fact. No one Right. We saved Europe in World War I. We saved Europe. World War Two Um Okay.

For better or worse?

Well, yes, but I don't know if we could do that again. And I think that that's a conversation that we should be having because I think some people want us to have a less strong military, and others, you know, go in the other direction. And right now, I think Joe Biden doesn't want a super strong military for whatever reason. John, we got to run. It's been an interesting conversation.

Thank you so much, and all blessings in 2024. Thank you very much for joining us on the Brian Kilmead Show. Let's quickly go to Mary Lee and Tulsa. Mary, you are on the Brian Kilmead Show. Hello.

Hi. Hi, Mary. I'm calling about the student loans. I know one of my friends, I guess it's, I shouldn't say, but it's a grandson. She got in he got into dental school at BYU and it was so the loan was so lucrative, neither he or his wife worked the The whole time he was in met uh dental school.

Wow. Then after dental school, he got a job working for a dentist. I don't know. I may be in the, you know, Mormons or something. I don't know that.

But he worked for the dentist, oh, two or three years. He's been down there about ten years.

So about eight or nine years ago, he hasn't paid a dime to this day on his loan. And so he evidently didn't hurt his credit, not to bad alone, 'cause he bought the dental firm out for way over a million, close to two million dollars. And then he bought a house, had a beautiful swimming pool and I think he drives Alexis, takes Cruises all the time.

Well, under the just l uh l recently under the Biden thing, you know, they were going to have to pay something, what, two or three months ago?

Well, they lifted it and he says he's not gonna pay a penny until they get him. And uh there's people all over the place are not paying the loan that are making great salaries, but they never do a thing with 'em. It's interesting. Hey, Mary, you might know. Dentists make more than doctors now.

Yes, I know. My husband worked 13 hours on Christmas Eve, I know. And the dentist was closed.

So, yeah, so I know that. My husband also likes to tell us that our vet makes more money than he does as well.

So, you know, there's that. That's why American kids don't go into being doctors. They're all foreign-born now. Because you just don't make the money. Very interesting.

I don't know what his thought process is. I'm not going to pay until they come after me. You know, let's see. It's going to be a gamble. We'll see what happens.

But it's a very entitled attitude. That's all I can say. Thank you for sharing that, Mary Lee. I appreciate it. All the best to you in 2024.

A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmead.

I'm Mary Walter, sitting in for Brian Kilmie, getting to your calls at 866-408-7669. Talked a lot. uh in during the show about uh Kind of like a generation gap, and we're seeing it really, really come to light with the Israel-Hamas war. And so many young people out there in full regalia pro Hamas and I'm thinking to myself, okay, that's a terrorist organization you might want to think, but they've been so indoctrinated into you're either a victim or you're an oppressor. That's it.

And they have very, very nebulous, there's no thought process needed to decide which is which. Oh, you're white, you're an oppressor. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter what happened to you. You're an oppressor.

Oh, you're black, you're oppressed. It's a very racist construct that they have going on. And there's other things that come into play. They have special groups, you know, depending on where you fall. And I guess there's a whole formula as to what makes you an oppressor or a victim.

And a lot of it that goes into it is feelings and emotions.

So. You know where we wind up, where we are today. In Florida, Yuli, Florida. Roger, you're on the Brian Kilmead show. Hi.

Hey, good morning. How are you? I'm doing good. Suitably afternoon. Hey, just real quick, I'd like to, on the subject of these Gen Zs, and it seems like a lot of them, and I'm glad to see some of them, as you were talking about, are turning their back on the traditional way of believing everything that they hear in school.

But the elites and the politicians for the last 50, 60 years have started to try to indoctrinate these kids. I mean, they started with in colleges. Berkeley, for example, was a great starting point. Then they got into the high school, from the colleges to the high schools.

Now they're even into the middle schools and everything like that. Because the quicker you can get to these kids and indoctrinate them, especially when they're young, their brains are sponges, and they tend to believe a lot of what their teachers and everything tell them. And of course, with our teachers and everything in the school system now, I don't know what the percentage of them are just liberal, progressive liberals, which are quite a few, from the school board to the teaching, administration, all that stuff, as you know. And these kids are now. Becoming confused, and I don't blame it on the children, it's actually the education system, the politicians, and these elites.

And they're trying to get these kids to become submissive to what they say and do what they want to do. I mean, you got a president for the last two or three years, and these kids believe it that he's going to make them, you know, don't have to pay back their school loans. And I think that they really believe that, which you know, by well, that was just for votes. You know, they really don't care about these children and everything like that. As far as the kids and the division and what we're going through, the sexism, you know, we had the inner cities where the fathers of black communities were torn apart.

Back in the 70s and everything like that, in my opinion, I think a lot of the divorces in the suburbs with white families where a divorce went through, they always gave the children to the mother. They never gave them to the father. You see a little bit more of it now. And I think that was just a way of tearing the nuclear family apart in the white communities is by these liberal judges giving custody of the mother and taking the father out that way to keep their and you know, so where both parties or colors are being attacked, but in just different ways. Then you've got Obama came in and he allowed kids to stay in their parents' insurance through the age of 26.

Well, then he was smart to do that because it was just another angle of an attack on our society and our financial a child stays at home up to age 26, they're not going to be going out there contributing to the world economically, socially, because they're living off their parents, they're not buying houses. As early as they could, if they're staying home and living with their parents, there's just so many factors with that, you know, in the complaint. I know I'm short on time, but I'd love to listen to you if you could, you know, offer any advice, not advice, but just to your thought on what I said if there's in your directive. Yeah, I'm going to add on to it.

So thank you so much, Roger. I'll let you listen. Thank you. And as is all the best in 2024. It's not just that, what Roger was talking about.

And it's also, you have shows that, you know, parents put their kids in front of the TV, right? That's what you do. Kids have TVs in their rooms now. I don't think it's that smart. You want to make parenting a little easier.

You don't have the TV in the room. But you have things like a show on Netflix called Coco Melon Lane. And there was an episode of that called Just Be Me, and it's a little boy who's getting his picture taken with his dads, and so he's taking it to try different costumes to wear. And of course, he winds up wearing a tutu and dressing like and dancing like a ballerine, and his parents are You Just Be You.

Now, I personally, one of my brothers loved running around the house in my mother's clothes. Like he had a little, he had a teddy bear, which my father was beyond upset about. He's got the boy's got a teddy bear. And he liked to dress it and everything. My mother's like, let it play out.

And of course, it did. I was super, super tomboy. If I were a kid now, my parents would have taken me to have body parts cut off and transitioned me to being a boy because that's how badly I wanted to be a boy. Because I had brothers. All my cousins, the vast majority, except for one, were boys.

That's what I wanted to be a boy. But my parents like it'll play out. Sure enough, I grew out of it.

So parents are upset about this. There is also another show on Netflix called Ada Twist Scientist that is produced by The Obamas. It's one of their shows. And it is for preschoolers and children aged three and up. And it's supposed to be a good way to get preschoolers interested in science and offers great representation with a black scientist as the lead.

Well They're under fire now because the kids attend a sh a wedding between two gay men. The main characters in this are aged seven, eight, nine, and ten. And what the s the show is about, when a tornado touches down on the day of Sensei Dave's and Juju Jitsu Jo's wedding, the gang must think of a way for all of the guests to safely get together. I don't have a problem with necessarily that kind of representation. I just think it is such a small portion of the population that its representation should be appropriate to its percentage of the population.

I wouldn't want to raise my kids to think that it's not okay to love who you love. Like, that's okay. But I I think people are on such high alert with all of this now that any kind of mention of anything, you know, a gay wedding, a boy in a tutu, that kind of thing, they're seeing it as, oh my gosh, indoctrination. And they're flipping out, and I kinda get it. I kinda get it.

So it's not just at the upper levels, it's younger as well. I am Mary Walter. I get to be back with you tomorrow, too. I'm so excited about that. I'm Mary Walter, in for Brian Kilby on the Brian Kilby Show.
