Verbal bloodbath as democrats struggle to defend Biden's business dealings

Crack that fire down, 19. Copy Captain, let's move! ABC Thursdays. Firefighters were family. Station 19 is back for its final and hottest season yet.

The subject has explosive chemicals with fiery romances. You're the love of my life. And Andy is finally in charge. I'm going to be the best damn captain the station has ever seen. Station 19.

All new Thursdays, 10-9 Central on ABC and stream on Hulu. From Hia Tom, Fox News Headquarters. In New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Killmey. Hey, Brian Kilmey from the beautiful studios in Richmond, Virginia of WRBA.

We're on the road today. We're lucky enough to be part of that lineup starting the month of March. Last night, politics in pints in front of 800 people right in downtown Richmond, Hopewell.

So I was able to stay here, do Fox and Friends this morning from McLean, McLean's a great restaurant. I think it's also a diner. Place was packed. Chance to talk to Governor Glenn Young. But for our show, I've got Congressman Tony Gonzalez.

If you want someone who thinks about the border first and how to fix it, not politics, he's the guy. And that's why we're so lucky to have him by almost every poll that I see and you see. The border's the number one issue.

So, we're going to get the latest, what could be happening, and why we just can't wait. We just can't wait to get something done.

So, before we, and by the way, I'll take some of your calls: 1-866-408-7669.

So, let's find out what's going on with the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. I think all of us want to do something about carbon emissions, etc. But the best way to do it is not through command and control mandates that will not work. Let the EV with electric vehicle manufacturers beat the gas-powered manufacturers.

Yeah, the EV push has turned into a shove over the cliff. It means death of the electric car, in my view. We're going to have to have it, or I guess we don't drive. Problem is, most Americans don't want it, and car companies are bailing on it. This is becoming a key election issue.

And Biden is pushing his chips to the middle. Number two. I think it's laughable. That the Democrats are asking Lev Parnish to weigh in on my credibility, a convicted felon. If you keep lying, you will end up in prison.

I'm not lying. You're the one who was lying. You're the one who went to prison for my lying. Yeah, Tony Bobolinski, not lying. Lev Parnas, don't worry about him.

Biden, the Dems versus Bolinski. That was Bobolinski. This was a verbal bloodbath, and Dems struggled mightily to shut down the eyewitness to the family scandal and the role of Joe. We re-examine the exchanges that need to be amplified and see what it means for the impeachment process. Number one.

I hope it dies on the vines. That's where it belongs. It was never a good case. It's the prosecutors who are trying to rush this case to try to get the convictions. I think this may prove fatal ultimately to the case.

And that is Alan Dershowitz, of course, talking about the Trump trials. He was referring directly to the Georgia trial.

Meanwhile, bonds and gain plans to Joe Biden, despite a push to regather his base by bribing them, his way back into their good graces.

Well, that plan is already in action. His number one plan is to make Donald Trump unelectable, no doubt about it. But his other plan is to go out to the groups he's losing, like the Hispanics that you might be looking at in Texas and Arizona and say, hey, remember me, I need you again. And look how great the economy is. And for the last time, people will make their own decisions about the economy.

The numbers that you keep throwing at people on inflation rates and unemployment and how many jobs you added That might be nice.

Some of them might be verifiable. But ultimately, people will decide how their life is compared to the first last four years. And stunningly, despite all of this, and the president knows this, in my view, when I saw the president not do as well with the Hispanic vote in the last election and then put Cesar Chavez, his bust, in the Oval Office, and then hire his daughter to be his campaign manager, even though she has almost no experience, I go, this guy is bending over backwards. He's very concerned about the Hispanic vote. And now you know why.

Because it's disappearing. And their whole plan Was get the Hispanics in here through any way possible. They're going to vote for us because we got them in, just like the Jewish vote in the 1940s. It remains a Democratic vote. They'll remember who was president at that time, and we'll take places like Texas and Arizona forever.

Well, that's not worked, and they can't really figure out why it's not working. I can. But they can't.

So, what is actually going on? Matthew Continenti weighed in last night on a special report, Cut 40. I think there is a concern, Brett. I think we saw in some of the results in the. Brief Republican primary: that there are some Republicans and some Trump-leaning independents who are wary of voting for Donald Trump in 2024.

But I will say this: they seem to be replaced by new voters, non-college-educated minority voters, primarily Hispanic voters, who are now abandoning the Democratic Party in droves and backing Trump for president.

So you can see that while the old-style Republicans may be wary of Trump or may even be exiting the party in some cases, they're being backfilled by new voters, a new Trump coalition that I think stands a pretty good chance of success in November. Isn't that pretty cool? I think so. I think that he's winning them over by action, not by a fancy campaign slogan. I know he's got the Cuban vote.

They seem to be very impressive. A couple other things on 2024 I find stunning. Get this. Baron Trump has turned eighteen. All right, it's a big deal.

He's gonna pick a college soon. Maybe he just picked one. He's gonna get it done by May. What's the big deal?

Well, you got this NBC senior executive, Mike Singleton. He said the former President Donald Trump's youngest son, Baron, was now. Fair game on his eighteenth birthday. Fair game. He's the only son of Melania and Donald Trump.

Turning eighteen on Wednesday, Baron has stayed out of the spotlight on purpose. The Bush twins were in college. People tried to keep them out of the spotlight. When they didn't make a news themselves, they said it was their fault. But if Baron is not making news, he is not fair game.

So, guess what? He got such backlash. Mike Singleton, he said, Baron Trump turns 18 today, he's fair gaming. He took down the tweet. And he said this I posted that he was fair game.

Now, meaning as an adult, he's fair game for criticism from the press. How do you feel about that? He's not fair game from criticism from the press. He's not doing anything. He's not running for office.

He wants to be a college kid.

Someone pointed out to me fair game could mean fair game to be harmed. I don't wish physical harm on anyone.

So I took down.

So I took it down. I listened to the comments and criticisms I received. Incredible. I mean incredible. I'm pretty sure the Obama kids were in college.

I still don't know one from the other. And I know whatever they were doing, you might see a few pictures in People Magazine. That was it. Did you ever think network executives are saying the Obama kids, girls, are. Women now.

or fair game.

So I I hope They're able to keep these kids out of it. It's different with Eric and Sifwiton Jr. and Ivanka. Ivanka's gonna stay out of this for the most part, so. I don't see her.

Being in the limelight at all. They say that Jared Kushner is playing a little bit more of a role. He's getting into it just a little bit. Speaking of getting into it, the president's got, what, three days now to come up with $450 million? And I don't know if he can do it.

The weird thing is, the state and the city and Letitia James goes, oh, yeah, he can do it. He's just choosing not to do it. Guys like Mark Cuban say nobody has that much money around. Says if you were in we're in a zero interest rate environment, no good investor, big time business person was keeping that much money around. It made no sense because Your cash wasn't earning anything.

You wanted earning things. New York is getting huge backlash. I think they're oblivious to it. I don't think they get it. They think they're just targeting Trump and they feel like heroes.

But the rest of the world is looking. The rest of the country is looking. And they're worried. No doubt about it. Listen to Newt Gingrich last night, cut seven.

You have a totally corrupt New York system. It's corrupt from the governor. to the state legislature. To the judges. To the prosecutors.

It is basically the sopranos. Running the government. It's totally corrupt. We were first really given a brilliant insight into this by Tom Wolf. in a novel called Bonfire of the Vanities uh forty years ago.

Where he outlined the depth of corruption between the prosecutor and the judge. Nothing has changed, it's just got worse. But this is really bad and You know, Kevin O'Leary, Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank, isn't the only one. He comes out and says, You know, the one thing about America is you always thought your money was safe.

There's a, there's a. The justice system.

So, if you put your money there, you invest it, the economy's stable, even on its worst day, your money's going to be there. You decide what to do with it. And there's so many places that you can't park your money and know what it's going to be there the next day. And uh I keep going back to this Kordakovsky Analogy that was given to me earlier this week: that this isn't about President Trump being the Valni, he's not a martyr. What he is, is a very successful person who got into politics like Karvovsky, Kelokovsky, Kurovsky, I should say.

And what happened is he said, Yeah, you know, I'm doing so well as an oligarch. I think I want to run against Vladimir Putin. Putin makes up some charges on him.

Next thing you know, he's in a cage in the courtroom, and we don't see him again for ten years. At which time he gets out, they spent all of his money, and he's in London right now, rebuilding it. Tell me Trump is not being t brought to the same ringer. Just a little bit more slowly and more publicly. And people don't like it.

I'm telling you. It is not good. Even if you're a Trump fan, this is actually making him more popular. If you go ahead and take Trump Tower, you might go, well, that's humiliation. No.

If he lost everything and went bankrupt, that would be a problem. But this is targeting. And he looks like somebody that is being targeted and makes people think to themselves: maybe there's a reason why people don't want him yet out there. And it's not for the welfare of the country. As far as the Georgie case, I'm fascinated by it.

Because now it's going to be delayed further. Judge uh The judge who ruled that Fannie Willis can stay if Nathan Wade can go, has now said you can appeal my decision. and maybe kick Fannie Wilson Willis off, you can go somewhere else. This will delay the case. Will it ultimately kill the case?

Alan Dershowitz hopes so. Cut five. I hope it dies on the vines. That's where it belongs. It was never a good case.

I would hope that his lawyers can try to bring some kind of an appellate action which will delay. You know, everybody says. Trump is trying to delay. It's the opposite. It's the prosecutors who are trying to rush this case to try to get the convictions, if they can, in jurisdictions like Fulton County and New York City and Washington, D.C., before the election, knowing that they may be overturned on appeal.

So it's a rush to judgment by the prosecutors, and of course, defense attorneys want to slow it down. I think this may. prove fatal ultimately to the case? I hope so. I'll talk more about this on One Nation on Saturday night, no doubt about it, nine o'clock.

We'll bring that to you. Alan Dershowitz makes a lot of sense. And I'll tell you, as long as the President's not convicted, I think he gains from this. As long as he's not stuck in a courtroom for a month, he gains from this. Nobody looks at these cases and says, well, this has got to go to trial.

Unless you're Jacksmith. And that's the hope. Joe Biden, don't say that Joe Biden is not involved in this when you have invoices with them meeting with White House counsel. And I'm talking about the Georgia case. And there's a former White House Justice Department official who's actually working with Alvin Bragg in his case in New York.

That is postponed at least a month. Hey, I'm in the beautiful studios of W. R V A Yeah, WRVA. And I'm loving it here.

So I was able to walk right from the diner here. When we come back, I'll be able to squeeze in some calls. I'll still be able to screen them 1-866. 408-7669. We'll be able to get some calls.

Bottom of the air, we talk about what's happening at the border. 200,000. People got through. And will stay. Guess what?

We lost their paperwork. You listen to Brain Kill Me show. It's Brian Killmeade. Wyndham Hotels and Resorts makes travel possible for all.

Restriction supply, visit website for more details. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead.

I want to be crystal clear. From my direct personal experience and what I've subsequently come to learn, it is clear to me that Joe Biden was the brand being sold by the Biden family. Joe Biden was more than a participant in and a beneficiary of his family's business. He was an active, aware enabler who met with business associates such as myself to further the business, despise being buffered by a complex scheme to maintain Plausible deniability.

So there's one sound about it after another. I'm going to play a few of them because many of you work during the day. We're not able to see it. Plus, Foxic did not take it straight, so I had to find it on C-SPAN 3. And I was watching as much roar as possible, just like I was watching the Afghanistan hearings.

I'm into it. I'm sorry. I have a myopic life, perhaps. Tony Bobolinski was direct. His credentials are impeccable.

They kept trying to challenge him. They went nowhere. Here's more for his explanation. For people who say. There is no illegal activity with Joe Biden's participation.

Just listen to him, CUD 15. In your experience, did President Biden play a more active or passive role in his son Hunter Biden's business dealings? I quantified it previously as he was the ch he acted sort of like a chairman. He showed up and shook hands. He's been called the chairman.

Yeah. He showed up, shook hands, and that's all the Chinese, Ukrainians, Romanians, Russians, whoever it was needed. It's not what the Canadians, the Australians, and Americans need, but in those parts of the world, that's what they need. They wanted to see that Joe Biden, the outgoing vice president, was going to play a role, that they'll have some say in Washington, be able to get some consultations, how to deal with Washington, maybe how to fight America, maybe how to take advantage of their Belt and Road program that was created to undermine America. And one of the companies, the CEFC, that Hunter Biden was invested in, was actually helping the Belt and Road program.

You can't get any more anti-American than that. Here's more, cut sixteen. Should I allow Hunter to give his opening statement first? It doesn't appear Mr. Biden showed up for his public hearing, so we'll recognize you, Mr.

Bobolinsko. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I know Tony a little bit. I've talked to him.

Uh that's the way he is. He's very defiant. Uh he's flabbergasted in my view, not his words. That this has not gotten greater traction up until his testimony. And he probably wasn't pleased yesterday.

I flipped around at night the best I could. We had that big event last night, but after I got back, I flipped on to the other channels. They weren't running Tony Bobolinski, they were running Lev Parnas because they can't make sense of this. Cut seventeen. I am here today because I'm a patriot and I'm a truth-teller.

We keep hearing from certain corners that our democracy is at risk and democracy is on the ballot in 24. Yet the same people preaching this mantra know better. They continue to lie directly to the American people without hesitation and remorse. Rep. Dan Goldman and Jamie Raskin, both lawyers.

And Mr. Goldman, a former prosecutor with the SDNY from New York, will continue to lie today in this hearing and then go straight to the media to tell more lies. And then they had a total meltdown after they said that, cut eighteen. Moreover, you testified that Hunter was not shy. About his ability to get his father on the phone.

And Devin Archer testified that there were multiple instances in which Hunter placed his dad on speakerphone. Mr. Bobolinski, was Hunter Biden telling the truth when he testified under oath that his father was never involved in any of his business dealings? No, he was not. Those are all blatant lies.

Right, and there's pictures and text messages. But of course, there's no proof. There can't be any proof, right? Lastly, real quick, cut nineteen. My biggest appeal to everyone in this room is I wish you would spend the time focusing on the fact that the Chinese Communist Party infiltrated the White House of the United States of America through the Biden family.

I don't say that lightly. It's not a joke. I was willing to die for this country, as was my father and both my grandfathers and my brother. This is serious, serious stuff. We should be asking how that happened.

Take the Biden name and the Biden family completely out of it. How did the Chinese Communist Party infiltrate the White House of the United States of America? Let's start there, focus on those facts. What they did, how they did it, why they used money, why they used private enterprises instead of military stuff and other stuff. That is huge to our national security.

I just hope That when some of these Democrats leave the building, they just say, Wow, this is bad. How do we keep Tony Bobolinski from talking? I mean, when they look at each other, they go, What was Joe Biden up to? Or they're up to it themselves. One of these clowns actually walked in with a Vladimir Putin mask.

Dan Goldman was on CNN with Jake Tapper. You know what he was talking about? Once again, Levpone has made it clear that the Republicans and the Russians are working together to undermine our elections. I'm not kidding. They actually said that.

I don't know if they actually believe it. I can't believe Jake, I should not, Jake Tapper didn't stop it, didn't qualify it, but he's a journalist, right? When we come back, what's really going on at the border? Encouragement Gonzales next. Radio that makes you think.

This is the Brian Kill Me Joe. One of the things Biden's been doing is he's been abusing this concept of parole, where he's actually flying in illegal aliens and dumping them in different parts of the United States.

So, for example, there was the news today of an illegal immigrant from Haiti who was now arrested or accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old. With disabilities in Massachusetts. And that was somebody that Biden flew into this country. Didn't even cross illegally. Biden flew him over the border.

So that is a unique circumstance. I don't think we've had any president that has flown in this many illegal aliens into our country.

So there's a lot of facets to this, but we are doing what we have every right to do, and that's defend the people of Florida. All right. Governor DeSantis is taking action. The Haitians are storming the border. They have the Coast Guard out there.

They have their own mini-Navy in Florida helping out.

Meanwhile, a lot of these illegal immigrants are going to get flown right to Martha's Vineyard. It is the wild west throughout America because our borders are busted and we have a region in peril in the Caribbean. By the way, keep your eye on Cuba. There are riots in Cuba. We have done nothing to support those people looking for freedom.

Congressman Tony Gonzalez joins us now, Homeland Security and Appropriations. And if you want to know what's going on at the border, reality, you just call Tony. He knows. Congressman, welcome back. Brian, thanks for having me on.

I know it's not your issue directly, but what is your take on the disintegration of Haiti? They have no government. Their people all feel in peril. They're hopping on boats, and they're beginning to come in great numbers to the border. What are we supposed to do?

You know, this is a deeper issue of how far the United States has fallen. This is something we saw this coming a mile away. And what has Biden done? I mean, they've done absolutely nothing other than fly people in directly, which is absolutely madness. This border crisis is 100% created by Joe Biden.

I'm a retired Navy Master Chief, and I think back to my time in the Navy. As a chief, you would lead, you would follow, or you would get out of the way. And it's very clear Joe Biden can't lead. He cannot follow.

So he needs to get out of the way so we can keep Americans safe. Look, it's terrible what's happening into Haiti, but we have our own problems here in the United States. Congressman, let's talk about what he just said. This parole program, maybe for everyone listening right now, you could describe it.

So if you got on an app. and you're from the right place perhaps, and you answer the questions the right way. we will fly you into a city? This is madness. It's absolute madness.

Look, I'm all about legal immigration, but this isn't that. This is illegal immigration on steroids. And the Biden administration is using taxpayer dollars in order to fuel it. And once again, what about Americans? What about us?

You know, the cost of goods, we're getting further and further behind. You're following the rules, you're paying your taxes, you're doing all the things right, and all of a sudden you can't afford to buy a house, or you can't sell a house, or your kids aren't safe in your communities. It has to stop, and it stops very simple with the Biden administration. Not more money. More money never solves a problem.

It has to be policy changes. But the secret is, they don't want to do what is happening, Brian, is exactly what they want, and they have to stand by those policies.

Well, what's right now happening at your border? We know this SB4. Are you a supporter of SB4? And essentially, if you cross the border illegally, you go. Yeah.

unless you want to go back to where you came from. How do you feel about that? I am absolutely in support of SB4 and everything Governor Abbott has done to try to keep Texans safe. This is really the federal government's job. SB4 is a lot like Title VIII that Border Patrol agents are supposed to be enforcing.

Oh, by the way, that they want to enforce, but Joe Biden has shackled them and has turned that organization into something else.

So Texas is doing everything we can to stop that. And part of it is having repercussions. There have to be repercussions for people that enter the country illegally. And right now, we have none of that.

So, yes, I'm in support of SB4.

So the $650 million just laying around is earmarked to finish the wall. the parts of the wall that six hundred fifty million dollars will do, but also fixed por portions of the wall have been broken down and are huge holes. Is that in your area where the these uh the wall needs uh repair? And what can we do to put that money to use? It absolutely is, Brian.

I represent forty two percent of the overall southern border. And House Republicans, we've been pushing this issue for three years now, where we've shown the material there just rotting away. And once again, this is absolutely intentional. The Biden administration will try to say some of the right things, but they're doing none of the right things. And I'd like to see, you know what, if you don't want to enforce the law, then use that money, give that money to Texas, and we'll enforce the law for you.

Too bad you are using your own money to do it, and you have the billions of dollars, even though you have zero State tax. I want you to hear what Congressman Joe Wilson, we thought of you while he was speaking, and it was about China, but it is also about the southern border, Cut 35. If there are People's Liberation Army personnel being trained there and then persons of Chinese military age unaccompanied are coming into the United States due to Biden open borders, every American family is at risk. And this should be a priority of the Indo-Pacific as to the deployment of troops from the Chinese Communist Party. It is that important.

He was talking with the Admiral in charge of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command. What is, I mean, we don't know why they're coming. We know their country is oppressive, and every Chinese citizen would want to come to America. But they're landing somewhere, coming across like rollerbags like they just left baggage claim.

And they're walking across the border. And they don't look desperate. What's going on? Have you seen this? I have seen it, and I've seen that numbers spike.

And look, the Chinese Americans have been a very important part of American culture, and they thrive, and they're a thriving community. What we're seeing is not that. This is just pure madness and chaos that the Biden administration is allowing. And the biggest threat to America is we do not know who these people are or what their intentions are. And we've seen it all throughout the country that these crimes that are being committed.

And it's not fair to us. It's not fair to American citizens. I visited Mexico City about a month ago, and I sat down with the current president of Mexico and the two leading candidates. Mexico is about to have a new election here in June. And one of the things that I brought up was very specifically was: look, people are coming from China into Mexico via these tourist visas and these work visas.

You know damn well they are not coming there to visit the pyramids in Mexico. They're using that documentation to legally transit through Mexico, and then when they get to our southern border, they dump all that documentation and then they come over illegally.

So, help us stop that by stop giving Mexico by stop giving out these tourist visas. Listen, I know you, for example, we have no relations with Venezuela, but you said Mexico does. We're getting Venezuelans streaming in.

So, you thought, hey, you know what? Why don't I meet with Mexico and see if I can get them to use their influence on Venezuela? Why is a congressman in Texas forced to do international relations with other countries? We have a State Department, we have a Homeland Security Division. I appreciate your hustle and innovation, but something's wrong here.

You're exactly right. Once again, where is the State Department in this equation? We beat the heck out of DHS all the time, and rightfully so. But the State Department has an equal share of blame in this equation. And once again, I'm a retired Navy Master Chief.

I see a problem. I'm going to run to the problem. And as an appropriator, the House is the power of the purse. The House has to start standing up to the administration and going, here's the deal. No more blank checks.

The status quo is no more. There has to be some repercussions to your actions. And oh, by the way, Mexico or any other country, if you don't want to help us, no problem. We're not going to pay you to not help us. What can you learn, or what do you think we should learn from El Salvador?

Tom Cotton was on with me yesterday, and basically, what they did is decide to pick up. all the gangsters, seventy percent of the gangsters that took over El Salvador were really rounded up by this President who just got reelected, and now they say it's one of the safest countries in our hemisphere. What could we learn from this? I think wherever you are from, in the United States or anywhere else, safety is one of the most important aspects of your life to make sure you feel safe. I mean, just think of where the country is now.

People do not feel safe because of this border crisis.

So, once again, it's for those countries that are trying to keep their citizens safe, we should encourage them to do that. But what is also happening is if you're a bad actor in El Salvador or anywhere else, you're getting the heck out of that country and you're coming to the United States.

So, in many ways, because of the actions of some of these other countries, it has gotten people to flee to the United States. And we're welcoming them with open arms. These are, you know, TDA, the Trande Agua, this Venezuelan gang, these are bad actors, Brian. No one's talking about them. In three years, everyone's going to be talking about TDA because they're the new MS-13.

Yeah, I heard it. They're going to be fighting our gang. Gangs, do you believe this? For the same territory, it's going to be nuts.

So, I understand that you were not for this bipartisan legislation that Senator Langford and Senator Murphy worked on. What did you like about it? What didn't you like about it? But Brian, I have nearly half of the border, and I swear, everyone calls me once a week on an idea on what we can do to come up with a package. I was against so I worked very closely with a lot of people.

I was against this package because it allowed 5,000 people to come over illegally. That number should always be zero. Always, always, always. You cannot negotiate off of that. And I think that's where they went wrong is they focus on the what was the acceptable number of people coming over illegally?

Zero. I think you start there and you work your you know, and then you come to some other conclusions. My worry was the discretion part. Even though they said there's no way you get here unless you can prove that you're under threat. My worry is the Border Patrol is going to be told by Maorcus or who's ever directly above them.

Yeah, that's good enough. That's good enough. Yeah, well, they're not proof.

Well, they look like they're in distress.

So that discretion element with the current attitude of the people in charge might have given the allure that things were getting better. I did everything I can, give you cover, but nothing's really changed because I just doubt the sincerity of it. One thing about Trump: I don't doubt his sincerity of wanting to shut down the border. I don't, you know, you can debate on what he does, you can do it. But you know he wants to shut down as bad as you do, Congressman Gonzales.

I think you're exactly right. This is about trust. I no longer trust the Biden administration. I think most of Americans do not trust the Biden administration. They may try to say the right things, but their actions do not line up with their words.

And so I don't trust them. I don't trust them to give them any money. I don't trust them to make any changes. And once again, this is where House Republicans have to push them to do the right thing. And going back to Trump, President Trump, under him, the country was safe.

The country was prosperous. And we need to get back to that. I can't wait for him to beat Joe Biden in this upcoming election. And how you know. The Hispanic community is one of the most diverse in the country.

The Cuban population, most conservative, whatever you want. You break it up, you live it.

However, how do you explain the 4640 Sienna poll in charge with the president up top? Let's say he's within two points. This is a country that once gave Mitt Romney, whose dad lived in Mexico for a while, I think 15% of the vote. And they said it was only going to go down. George Bush got the closest.

He was in 20%. What would Gib go inside the numbers for me and go inside the community. Tell me what's happening. Brian, I represent so my district is massive. It's larger than thirty states.

It's a huge part of Texas. It's predominantly Hispanic, over seventy percent Hispanic, predominantly Mexican American. And people have had enough More and more at the local level, sheriffs and commissioners and mayors are switching from Democrat to Republican in my district. And we are helping them. We are encouraging them to come over and be like, here's the deal: the Democratic Party left you their crazy socialist policies.

That's not you. And so this is a very real phenomenon that's taking place. And President Biden, I mean, President Trump is saying exactly what people want to hear. I want to be safe. I want a secure border.

I want to be prosperous.

So I think that these numbers, they're only going to grow. Yeah, it's just interesting. I think the Hispanic community says we're in play. I'm not signing up for any party, and you're going to have to earn my vote. And I just think it's great.

I don't care. Yes, that's it. Congressman, listen, if I w if I do I hope I don't bother you too much, but if I do want legitimate answers on the border, I always think of you and I think of Congressman Coyar. Yeah. Yes.

Well, thank you for having me, Brian. And I'm always up. I mean, I'm on it. I live it every day.

So whatever I can do to help. And also with a military background. Congressman, thanks so much. I appreciate it. When we come back, one eight six six, four oh eight seven six six six six six six six nine.

We'll talk about it. Also, do you think it's okay Uh to order off the kids menu if you're an adult. People are doing it, and places are cracking down on it. I can't believe that this is an issue, but it's actually a big story. I want to get your view in just a moment.

Don't move. Diving deep into today's top stories. It's Brian Kilmead. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Joe.

I think all of us want to do something about carbon emissions, etc. But the best way to do it is not through command and control mandates that will not work. And that's the problem with what I have here. If the markets move in that direction, if people's voluntary choices as consumers nudge them in that direction, absolutely appropriate. More power to them.

Let the EV, the electric vehicle manufacturers, beat the gas-powered manufacturers. But for the government to compel it, I thought the Democrats were pro-choice. And now they're taking away our choice as consumers.

So, what Ari Fleischer was referring to is the President of the United States yesterday announced. Finalized, a crackdown on gas cars nationally. Forcing more than half of new car sales to be electrified by 2030. They want 56%, their target is 56% of all new U.S. vehicles sold to be electric by 2032.

Right now, they got 7% of the market, and they say it's growing.

Okay, you made a massive push, massive subsidies, and it's growing. But do you know, if you talk to Ford, they're not making it up anymore. You know that this has been an epic fail with GM. Do you know the EV startup Fisker halted production to raise emergency funds amid a cash crunch because, drum roll please, low demand. The startup electric car Fisker said this week that it's halting production to raise $150 million in emergency funds.

The California Company says this is a mission to create the world's most emotional and sustainable electric vehicle. If you talk to these people, do you know this? If we become more and more associated with the electric car, Just think China. China is dominating the market. They have 85% of the world's Rare earth.

The lithium to make the batteries. They're making most of the batteries now. We do have a marketplace in South Korea. And we do have a marketplace in uh with Japan. But for the most part We are fueling pun intended China by doing this.

The other big story is this. This woman came out and said, I've been forbidden to buy off the kids' menu because I was older. Said, I'd rather off the kids' menu. This is the portion I want. I'm not allowed.

And they say more and more places are saying you are not allowed to order off the kids' menu. Are you okay with that? You can write me, BrianKillme.com. Just click on comments, it'll come to me. I'll go right to my email.

Are you okay with that? Quick announcement, just so you know. I'm going to be in Henderson, Nevada, April 27th. With um History, Liberty, and Laughs. We're going to be on stage bringing Americans' history to life in a fun, entertaining, informative way.

Hopefully, I'll see you there personally. VIP. This way, I can meet you before the show. Keep it here. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show.

Brian. In Kill Mead.

Well, I hate to correct my voiceover guy, but this is one time the signal is coming out of Manhattan in Midtown, New York. But I'm actually at the studios of WRVA in beautiful Richmond, Virginia. Last night we had politics and pints in front of 800, 900 people. Have a chance to see what's so passionate about in Virginia, what people of Richmond care about. And WRVA was kind enough to add me to the lineup.

We're thrilled to see everybody and meet everybody last night that put together a fantastic event. Then we did Fox and Friends this morning from McLean's, McLean's restaurant, which was fantastic, where I talked to Governor Yunkin. I'm going to read back that entire interview in 12 minutes. And the bottom of the hour will be joined by Dan Senor, just back from Israel. He wants to give us an update on the ripple effect and the ramifications of the call for elections from a New York senator.

And Selena Zito standing by. Before I get to Selena, let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you You need to know. It's Brian's big three. Number three. I think all of us want to do something about carbon emissions, etc. But the best way to do it is not through command and control mandates that will not work.

Let the EV, the electric vehicle manufacturers, beat the gas-powered manufacturers. All right, Feisha weighing in on the big EV push announced by the President of the United States that now he wants 54% of all cars sold in 10 years, excuse me, in six years to be electric. The problem is, we're not ready, and you don't seem to want them. We'll discuss it. Number two, I think it's laughable that the Democrats are asking Lev Parnas to weigh in on my credibility, a convicted felon.

If you keep lying, you will end up in prison. I'm not lying. You're the one who was lying. You're the one who went to prison for lying. Lev Parnas, yes, who is the business partner of Rudy Giuliani in Ukraine, tries to touch an intelligence officer in the U.S.

military, Tony Bobolinsky. Yep, Dems versus Bobolinski. This was a verbal bloodbath, and Dems struggling mightily to shut down the eyewitness, which is Tony Bobolinsky, who was recruited by the Bidens to help them out. We re-examined the exchanges needed to be amplified and see what it all means for the impeachment process. Number one.

I hope it dies on the vines. That's where it belongs. It was never a good case. It's the prosecutors who are trying to rush this case to try to get the convictions. I think this may prove fatal ultimately to the case.

The Trump trials, the bonds, the game plans for Joe Biden, despite a push to regather his base by essentially bribing them with student loan forgiveness and all types of grants. I'm not sure that flies, or is this ethical? Joining us now is Selena Zito, a nationally syndicated columnist located over in Pennsylvania. Selena, welcome back. Oh, thanks for having me.

By the way, I have been to McLean's diner. It's amazing. They do a great job of making an over-medium egg, which a lot of places can't do. An over-medium egg. How do you describe that?

Well, you know, here in Western Pennsylvania, we call it dippy eggs. Because we have a lot of weird colloquialisms here. But an o over-medium egg is just a little bit dip to it, not rung. Understood. And by the way, just a note.

I wouldn't even know how to order that. And I was a waiter for a while. I wouldn't know how to handle that. By the way, after this, I'm going to be heading to Charlottesville, Virginia. And I'm going to be with all the listeners at WCHV from 2 to 4.

And the name of the place is the first free coffee bar.

So I'll see everybody there.

So, Selena, you gave me, you tipped me off that when the President stopped honoring contracts for natural gas, for drilling for natural gas, for fracking. He said Pennsylvania's going to be affected. This is not a good political move, especially when we're trying to get natural gas to our Western allies who are now no longer, we think, buying natural gas from Russia.

So is the president, you just also looked at this and said it's not just the drillers that are going to be infected, the farmers are too. Yeah, you know, I found it I found it Well, first of all, all the Democrats, elected officials in the state have told Biden, no, don't do this. This is wrongheaded. And meaning Casey and Federman and Governor Josh Piro and the President has. All Democrats, all Democrat-elected officials in the state of Pennsylvania, statewide elected Democrats, they understand not just the direct impact directly with the natural gas industry, which is a billion-dollar industry in our state, but also this impacts farmers.

And you're like, wait, what does liquid natural gas have to do with a farm?

Well, there are extraction facilities, and you wouldn't even see them. They're so tiny, right? Like they're the size of maybe a golf cart and they're green. farmers across the state, over two hundred thousand landovers in tot owners in total, get nearly two hundred million dollars a year in lease checks. from the natural gas industry.

those checks have in some cases saved family farms that had been struggling. But it also the farmer uses that money to reinvest in their farm. They buy new tractors, which Like hundreds of thousands of dollars, right? They buy new equipment, they get new technology. When they are unable to do that and they have to also raise their prices because fertilizer comes from natural gas, diesel oil or propane comes from natural gas, they have to wait raise their prices.

And then who does that impact? You and me, when we go to the grocery store, restaurateers, hotels, everybody. I just found it funny. I'm just reading your column too. The thing that stood out to me.

Of the that there is an actual Mid-Atlantic manure summit. I mean, is it hard to get people to attend that? Hey, you know, sorry, I think I'll zoom. Mm. Yeah.

You know, no, no, no, it's fun. It was in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. It is fun. And not only were they giving out little like, you know, there's swag at these things, right? Not only were they giving out little propane tanks, they were giving out little sperm fee chains because of the importance of cat of bold sperms in the cattle industry.

Wow. Yeah, I know. I gave you boring baby. I never felt so unqualified to be rural.

So, but it's but when this natural guess, when these leases were stopped for the next year and a half, as long as he's in there, the next six months now, you know, you thought about the ripple effect. It just didn't make any logical sense. I don't know who we already know he's the greenest president ever. To me, it just seems so unnecessary to do it. It's just against national interests.

What about this? You're talking about the economic impact, too. Uh Of the U.S. deal being sold to Japan. President Trump came out and said, There's no way I would have allowed this.

Suddenly, Joe Biden thinks that Trump was right. Yeah. It was really interesting when when Pete, when you always sort of know there's there's this moment of clarity when you know that an elected official has looked at their polling and said, I think I got to change courses on this. And he's really struggling with working class voters, with union voters. Yes, their leadership.

gives them the endorsement, but rank and file does not. And there are three there are two facilities in Pennsylvania and one in Ohio that are about to close because of regulations and trade deals that this administration have put into place in the past three weeks. And so I think He's using U.S. steel because sort of the iconic belief of this hundred-year-old manufacturing giant or once giant would mean if it left the United States, if it left a blue-collar Western Pennsylvania. Yeah, so he's trying to stop it, but it's probably going to be too late.

A lot of these union workers are going to just ignore leadership, I think, and might be going the other way. Selena Zito, thanks so much. Appreciate your columns and your insight and your great work. Appreciate it, Selena. Thanks so much.

Have a great day. When we come back, Glenn Younkin, front and center. You're listening to Brian Kill Me Show in the beautiful Studios W RBA. The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead.

Hey, welcome back. I'm at WRVA in beautiful Richmond, Virginia. And about an hour ago, I had a chance to talk to Governor Glenn Youngkin, who came down there. The audience just loves him. He is extremely popular in this state.

And he also is a national figure.

So, I had a chance to talk to him. We thought it would be a great idea for you to hear the unedited version back.

So here's my one-on-one in front of a live audience. We begin with a soundbite from Joe Wilson. We thought it was appropriate because he talks about the worry he has of China buying up farmland, what are they doing coming through up our border? Is that a worry? And we just thought we'd bring that front and center because he also, Glenn Youngkin and his business background, dealt with China a lot.

Listen. If there are People's Liberation Army personnel being trained there and then persons of Chinese military age unaccompanied are coming into the United States due to Biden open borders, every American family is at risk. And this should be a priority of the Indo-Pacific as to the deployment of troops from the Chinese Communist Party. It's that important. Yep, Republicans sounded the alarm, especially Joe Wilson, because he's got kids serving in the military, about migrants tied to the Chinese military, reportedly, entering the U.S.

and doing it illegally with rollerbags through the southern border. What the heck is going on here? Virginia Governor Glenn Young is here. He's got great international business as well, international political experience, and he's the very popular governor from Virginia. A round of applause for your governor, Governor.

Governor, by the way. The Governor Jungian gift shop's going to need some replenishing. There's a lot here. China's real serious. And you told me just now you saw a change in China from 2010 to present.

They became somewhat from a competitor to an enemy. Yeah, well, let's just be clear. What the Chinese Communist Party wants to do is dominate the world, and they want to do it at America's expense, and they're literally using every avenue available to them. From economic coercion, which we saw change materially from 2010 to 2020, where they were inviting folks to do business in China, to once they got them in China, they were literally trying to coerce them to give them access around the world. Look what they're doing to the electric vehicle market.

Like, if you want to sell cars in China, then you have to allow them, their technology companies, to be at the heart of their manufacturing in the United States. We said no in Virginia to that. We weren't going to be part of it because I don't believe that Chinese technology should infiltrate every aspect of this country. It puts us at a national security risk. You know, the President of the United States is getting closer and closer to banning gas cars and more he pushes people to EVs.

We're going to China because China has 85% of the rare earth. Correct? It's just a fundamental either lack of understanding or blunder. And what's happening, of course, is we drive this maniacal approach to electric vehicles. It does push America deeper into the Chinese vice grip.

They control the critical minerals pipeline. They control right now the largest market share in electric vehicle battery technology. And instead of developing secure supply chains with our allies, like South Korea, like Japan, like Taiwan, what's happening with the President's philosophy is he's pushing us deeper into China. We have to recognize China is an adversary.

Now, they're an adversary that is using every possible element at their disposal in order to win. They're trying to win economically. They're trying to win militarily. They're trying to win by surveillance. And we have this huge issue with TikTok right now that we all know.

Let's talk about that. You've banned it on state devices. There are Republicans like Rand Paul and others who say, TikTok, come on, it's First Amendment. Let it happen. Go compete, America.

What are they missing?

Well, this is a national security moment. Because what TikTok is doing is manipulating people with the most advanced algorithms you can believe. And on top of that, gathering all of the data. And the Chinese Communist government's been really clear. That data has to be shared with them.

And so we've got to stop this. And that's why we banned TikTok on state devices in Virginia. And Republican governors have been on this for the last two years. And it's time for our federal government to get on it. The House bill passed with an overwhelming bipartisan majority.

The Senate needs to get moving so that we can protect Americans. You endorse President Trump. You were thinking about running yourself. At least everyone thought you were going to be in there. How hard will you work for him in Virginia?

And what do you say to people who think that he could take it like you took this state? Because you don't have the legislature, but you have the governor's manager.

Well, I've been focused on Virginia the entire last two years. And I've told everybody the first thing we have to do is deliver for Virginians. And then when we endorse President Trump, and said, listen, America needs proven leadership. We need a president who understands that we have to have a secured border. We have to project strength around the world.

And we have to build an economy that actually delivers for Americans. Look what's happening today. Joe Biden unleashed inflation on America at record levels, and it doesn't go away.

So the amazing owner of this restaurant, Donna, she was telling me earlier that the price of eggs today is three times what it was three years ago. Those prices don't go back down easily. And so this economy is still three times what they were. And everybody here feels that inflationary thief that's stealing the hard-earned money of Virginians and Americans. We need a president who knows how to build an economy, project strength, and secure a border.

Yesterday, you were busy. You're dealing with the Democratic legislature, very close, just like the federal government. But you had 22 vetoes yesterday, most around public safety. How hard is it dealing with the government? With The opposition party here?

Well, we have a legislature that has a one-seat majority in our House and our one-seat majority in the Senate. And they're sending me bills that are really representative of the progressive left. They literally want to undermine public safety. They want to make it harder for our prosecutors and our judges to hold people accountable. And so, yeah, I vetoed 22 bills yesterday to make sure that Virginians are going to be safe.

I mean, two of the bills I vetoed yesterday were also trying to protect illegal immigrants. They were going to allow non-citizens to be police chiefs in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and they were going to prohibit our criminal justice system from asking a basic question around immigration status of someone who's been arrested.

So I'm going to veto these bills. I'm going to make sure that our public safety is at the top of the list, and I'm not going to allow it to be undermined. Wow. I don't see you giving in. At some point, there's got to be some compromise.

I will say this, Governor: I haven't seen you up close in a year. It looks like you're getting younger, so this job must be really easy. I tell everybody, thank you for hiring me. Thank you for hiring me. It is an amazing privilege to go to work every single day.

Governor Juncker, thanks so much. Appreciate the quality time. Welcome to Richmond. I'm so happy you've made your way onto so many radio stations across the Commonwealth. And I think you're missing something.

I think you need a red vest. All right. Thank you very much. And it's my size.

Alright, thank you very much guys. And there you go. The crowd went wild. Huge crowd. And I'll tell you, I've been around a lot of politicians and presidential candidates.

And, you know, people are pumped up. They're always upbeat. But these people got there early and they really wanted to see him. They were all wearing their young gear, and they're not working for the campaign. He's not running again.

So they just want to see him, they want to meet him. And when he saw me, he remembers a lot of their names. He had one other story. He said, Brian, I want you to meet a guy. And he brings it over.

This guy's about 18 years old, big guy. And he said, I saw him two years ago in this very place. And I said to him, What are your goals? And the kid says, I want to be valedictorian in my class. And then he said, tell him.

He goes, I'm valedictorian in my class.

So he hit one goal, and the kid's going to be going over to some Ivy League school, I imagine. All right, so when we come back, we talk to Dan Senor. We get the latest on Israel. You're not going to believe what President Biden is pushing through the United Nations against Israel, in my view. Don't move.

The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead. On the call today, President Biden asked the Prime Minister to send the senior interagency team. composed of military, intelligence, and humanitarian officials. to Washington in the coming days.

to hear US concerns about Israel's current Rafah planning. And to lay out an alternative approach that would target key Hamas elements in Rafah and secure the Egypt-Gaza border without a major ground invasion. The Prime Minister agreed that he would send a team. And that's where we're at. The President had not spoken to the Prime Minister.

Since February. And here we are past halfway through March.

So they spoke, and They want to hear the battle plan. I don't know why they couldn't zoom it, go to the situation room, and work it out, but they want to see a battle plan that has a corridor for. Uh civilians to get out. They don't challenge the numbers put out by the Hamas Communications Division. They just say seventy percent of everybody that just died are women and children, and the world goes crazy and thinks that Israel's lost their minds.

when I think the facts are a little bit differently. Dan Senor knows everything going on here as it relates to Israeli politics and has great context there. Dan Senor joins us now, and he also had a big interview with Ron Dermer.

So Dan, welcome back. Hey. Bri, great to be with you. I literally just landed from Israel this morning. You're the first conversation I'm actually having, other than checking with my wife.

And I interviewed Ron Dermer in the Prime Minister's office last night in Jerusalem. And then flew overnight in our power. Podcast episode of my call me back. podcast just posted early, early this morning with as you're referring to, a lot of news coming out of Jerusalem on this coming What looks like a bed? Definitely a coming military operation in Rafah, regardless of what the Biden administration thinks.

So we know this. The prime minister addressed the Republicans, I believe it was in the Senate. Yeah, the Senate caucus. And then he offered to do the Democrats, and Chuck Schumer said no. First off, Chuck Schumer's decision to call for elections in Israel.

How did that go over? Uh I I I can't overstate How Um badly it landed. In Israel. And how badly it landed among the Jewish community in the United States and among the broader sort of pro-Israel, pro-strong US-Israel relationship. advocacy community in the United States.

Uh Israel is a Thriving democracy. It is not a perfect country. not the United States is not a perfect country. The United States though is like Israel a thriving democracy. Israelis choose their leaders.

U. S. Senators from the well of the Senate, do not choose Israel's leaders. And they're It's it's not uh uh a secret that Prime Minister Netanyahu right now is his polling has gone way down. The twenty twenty three was not a good year for him politically.

Obviously, the combination of the fight over judicial reforms and then october seventh.

So he's unpopular. But when you ask Israelis Should politicians from other countries be deciding who runs Israel. The reaction is hell no. And in fact, Prime Minister Netanyahu is now polling better since Schumer's speech because people just take offense to this idea that the United States would treat Israel or a U.S. Senator would treat Israel like a banana republic.

In fact, even Some of Netanyahu's fiercest political opponents, like Benny Gons, who's serving in this emergency wartime cabinet with him, but Will compete against him, no doubt, as Prime Minister for the next Prime Minister, as they've competed against each other in the past. Pretty bitter political rivals. Again, they serve together in this emergency war cabinet, but there's no love lost between them personally. Benny Gomps was one of the first people to come out with a statement saying. We're a democracy.

We choose who our leaders are. Back off. Naftali Bennett, who is Prime Minister Netanyahu's predecessor, also someone with whom. Nothing yet was a tension. Omert supported it.

Does that surprise you? Omert is, yeah. But Omert is has taken on this. I mean he he's been out of office for a while. He's at a complicated career since he left office.

He's been a sort of knee-jerk critic of everything Netanyahu does, like no matter what he does. including how he's been fighting this war, so or prosecuting this war.

So I would take Omer with a grain of salt. But if you look at the immediate characters, the ones who could replace Netanyahu, no one thinks Omer is going to replace Netanyahu. Bennett could be back in office. He's speculated to be wanting to run again. He was prime minister in 2022.

And like I said, Nathan Yahu defeated him, and he wants to Nathali Bennett wants to make a comeback, Gantz. Has been defense minister. He was a defense minister in Naptali Bennett's government. He was defense. Defense Minister and Deputy Prime Minister in Netanyahu's last government.

He's thought to be someone who could replace Netanyahu.

So these are guys who are in the game now, and even they, they're the ones if the government would fall, if the government were to fall, as Chuck Schumer and I think Joe Biden want to happen. They're the ones who would be in the mix to populate a new government. And even they are saying Uh-uh. You can't do this. It's inappropriate.

Stay out of our domestic politics. I just can't emphasize enough. I mean, what the administration, I guess, Schumer too, is trying to do to some extent is they're so frustrated. with the reality that Israel intends to finish this war A genocidal attack is waged on Israel on october seventh, and the idea that Israel is going to do everything it can to wipe out that threat, and it's getting pretty close, by the way, it's almost done. And so the idea that at the eleventh hour when they're in the heading into the final phase of this war, the U.

S. is starting to have reservations and pull back. And Israel is unfolding to those requests that Israel pull back. And so their response is, well, look, we can't do anything about Israeli policy, so we're just going to demonize The elected leader of Israel, Prime Minister Netanyahu, and hope that that scores us some points. Internationally, it scored us some points domestically with their progressive base.

That's what their calculation is. Will demonize Netanyahu and make this about Netanyahu would not make this about Israeli policy because the reality is there's not much they can do about Israeli policy.

So that's the bet they're making, and I think it's going to backfire. I think it is backfiring.

Well, they're going to have to go into Rafah. Have they established a battle plan? They just want to explain it one-on-one? Does the US want to talk them out of what they want to do?

So when I spoke to to uh uh Minister Dermer yesterday. I pressed him on that, and he made clear in our podcast conversation. In fact, you gave me the sound bite. Should I play it? Oh, yeah, go ahead.

Yeah, so here it is. Let's go to the first one. Is there a point at which Israel says We're going into Rafah even though we don't have the US's support. Sure it can happen because we we'll go into Rafach. And because we have to We have to dismantle Hamas's military capabilities.

If you leave four battalions, In Rafah, you've lost the war. And Israel's not going to lose the war. With or without the United States, we're not going to do it. We have no choice. And I think what people don't understand is that October 7th is an existential moment.

For Israel. It's the first time in my lifetime we're about the same age. where the existential nerve of the Jewish people was touched. We remember this expulsion of the Jews from Spain in the fifteenth century, but that's five hundred years ago. The Holocaust is not five hundred years ago.

It's in living memory. You still have survivors of the Holocaust who are walking amongst us. What you saw on october seventh. Was a genocidal force that wants to wipe out all the Jews. and it's the first pogrom that we've had.

since the birth of the State of Israel.

So they're going in anyway. Yeah, so that's exactly right.

So he made it clear they're going in.

Now, what the administration is saying look, I think they've given up on trying to persuade Israel not to go in. And I just want to for your listeners, Brian, just to just to take a step back. There's northern Gaza, which Israel moved through during the first phase of the war. Then there's central Gaza. You hear these terms like Han Yunis, which is a major population area in the center of the of the Gaza Strip.

And then there's Rafah, which is in the southern Gaza, which borders up against Egypt. the four to five remaining battalions of Hamas. Israel has taken down almost all of the twenty four battalions, but there are about four plus battalions still in Rafaf Rafah. They're among the most dangerous. They're the largest.

They're likely the ones protecting the most senior leadership in of Hamas. And so Israel's attitude is when I say Israel, I don't mean just Israel's military leaders. I don't just mean Israel's political leaders. I mean the Israeli public too. I just spent time there.

You talk to Israelis across the political, religious and ideological spectrum. They're all on the same page on this. Israel has to remove Hamas. They have to finish this war. And you can't do it without going into Rafa.

Benny Gantz, who we mentioned earlier, who's in the war cabinet, he said when he was in Washington a couple of weeks ago, the way he explained it to the administration, it's like calling a fire department to come put out a fire. No. And telling them when they put out 80% of the fire to go home. Do they have enough armaments to go in by themselves if we decide to cut them off? Yeah, they they they uh I I do think they are dealing with some triage decision making based on munitions, but I don't think it relates to Gaza.

I think it could there are some potential TRIAS issues if suddenly multiple fronts open up. But as but they have they have the capabilities of what they need for Rafach. The issue with Rafach is there's a little there's a humanitarian issue, which is They they they there's they need to move there's the population over half of Gaza's population, so call it one point three, one point five million people are populated right now into that southern part of Gaza, and they want to get as many of the civilians out of there. And that is one issue where the administration and Israel are totally aligned. If Israel's going to go in, they've got to get a lot of the civilian population out of there, and they're trying to figure out how to do that.

so they can prosecute the war against the Hamas military battalions. But the administration, I think, has given up on trying to persuade Israel not to do it. Israel's been adamant that they're going in. You heard Minister Dermer say it there.

So then the question is how they do it.

Now Israel has a plan to do it, but the administration is saying, okay, before you go in, let us present to you some other ideas of how to do it. And that's what this trip is Into Washington.

Now, some people I spoke to in Israel when I was just there were saying this is a stall tactic. The administration is just trying to stall the operation. Oh, come to Washington, come to Washington next week. We'll have meetings. We'll have briefings to kind of just slow things down.

That may be what's going on, but I got to tell you, every meeting I had in Israel, Brian left me with including the conversation that we have on my podcast. Every one of these conversations left me with the impression They're going in. The Israeli society will not tolerate.

Well, part of this is Egypt has hemmed them in, right? Egypt will not loosen up their border, where Turkey did and when Syria was in the middle of a civil war. They allowed refugees to come in. Egypt wants no part of it. Nobody wants the innocent Palestinians to go into a refugee camp because they've had bad experiences in the past.

There's no pressure on Egypt to do anything. Maybe we want to help. Maybe we could. Yeah, we could push. This situation is crazy.

If they were serious about humanitarian assistance and Palestinian civilians, They would figure out a way to open the border to let Palestinians Into Egypt, even in some temporary refugee camp area, something. But Egypt wants nothing to do with it. In fact, I I know friends in the U. S. government who I have friends in the U.

S government who are working on getting Palestinian Americans out of Gaza after october seventh.

So Palestinians who have American passports, I guess. who are in Gaza, and the U. S. government was trying to get them out, and they wanted to get them out through Egypt. And the restrictions Egypt would put That a U.S.

government personnel had to be with every one of these Palestinians at all times as they traveled through. Egypt, it's like From Egypt's perspective, they don't want a single Palestinian roaming around their country full stop.

So, for all their concern, About the humanitarian catastrophe of the Palestinians. Egypt could solve this problem overnight. Mm-hmm. Right. Here's another cut.

This is Ron Dermer talking about what he's going to be doing. In a fundamental way, the promise of this country, in my view, is not just that Jews return to their ancestral homeland, it's that we have the ability to defend ourselves. And in a fundamental way, that promise was broken on october seventh. And I think our job is to restore that promise, and that means utterly dismantling the terror organization. Of Hamas in Gaza.

It's going to happen, and it will happen even if Israel is forced to fight alone. Even if the entire world Turns on Israel, including the United States. We're going to fight until the battle is won. There's only one possible force that could stop Israel. And that's the Israeli people.

And go around this country and speak to them. And speak to them across the religious, across the ideological, religious, political. I've never seen anything like it.

So they're dedicated.

So what do you think the numbers are in terms of deaths? And what do you why do you think the world is just taking Hamas's numbers at face value?

So the the Hamas Run Gaza Ministry of Health, which is really a propaganda arm of Hamas, but they're saying that it's over 30,000 and like 31,000, 32,000. Yeah. Um These numbers. Brian. Look, l let me see.

Ob obviously, there's a lot of there's a lot of like there is a real human catastrophe in Gaza.

So I don't want to understate the reality that the the reality is this. There was a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel on October 6th. On October 7th, Hamas broke that ceasefire and started a war. They kicked off the war by unleashing a massacre. on an unsuspecting population in Israel.

So they started a war. Israel, of course, had to respond defensively to this war. In wars, there is violence. In wars, There are civilians who are tragically collateral damaged. Crossfire got get on the crossfire of violence of that war.

These are just normal facts of life. What makes this war exceptional is two things. One, Israel is going to extraordinary lengths. extraordinary lengths. to telegraph to civilian populations where it will be, when it will be, conducting military operations in the hope that the civilians can move out of the way.

This is quite unprecedented. There are military historians like Andrew Roberts Or this guy, John Spencer, who's the head of the urban warfare studies at West Point, who say they've never seen in history. A military go to the lengths that Israel is going to alert the civilian population. But what are the numbers? What do you think the numbers are?

So I so obviously we don't know. We don't really know because there's there's two problems with the numbers. One is the numbers of the Gaza Health Ministry releases doesn't do doesn't provide composition of civilians to fighters.

So they treat all numbers as though they're all civilians.

So they say it's over thirty thousand. They say thirty one, I think thirty one thousand plus is the latest number, but they don't specify what the fighters' numbers are. Ron Dermer is estimating somewhere between ten thousand and fifteen thousand fighters have been killed. That's the first thing. The second thing is: Dan, real quick, I'm up against break.

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to close it there. Where do we get your podcast? Call me back. You can find it on Apple, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, wherever. Search for Call Me Back or my name, Dan Senor, and you will find the podcast and the new episode.

Dan Senor, fresh shower from Israel. Called us right away. Dan, thanks so much. Fantastic. All right.

See you, Brian. Take care. Back in a moment. Giving you everything you need to know. You're with Brian Kilmead.

He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Kilmead. All right, so we're here at the beautiful WR VA Studios in Richmond, Virginia, going over to Charlotte a little bit later on today. But, Allison, I have a question for you: how many kids do you have exactly? Three less, I can't.

All right, good. Here's a question for you. Is it okay? And do you think you should be able to bring your kids to bars? How your kids are?

They are so the twins just turned four, and then Richard's six, he'll be second soon. Do you think it should be okay? I mean, for the most part, I could not bring my kids to the bar. They couldn't eat at the bar. Before they were 21.

You mean sitting at the bar? Let's bring them to a bar. Should they be sitting to a bar? Should they be able to sit at the bar? Like, sitting at the bar, no, but I will say, like, bringing them to a bar.

It depends on the establishment and the time of day, right? Like, now there's so many breweries out there that a lot of people bring their kids to the breweries and they run around and they play. And, you know, if it's in the afternoon, it's fine. If it starts getting later at night, there's going to be a little bit more situation.

So, this woman in Austin, Texas, 27 years old, right? She started yelling. She said, the heated argument broke out. In Texas, obviously, this angry woman ripped into a 27-year-old mom for bringing her child to a bar. Get your baby out of the bar.

Why would you do this to your kid? She is filmed as. How old was the kid? It said baby. If it's a baby, actually, that's a totally different scenario.

They're not even moving. They don't bother anyone. It's a bagel shot. Yeah. I guess, is that ruining their time?

Do they feel bad they don't have children? I mean, unless the kid is screaming, crying, there's no reason. From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kelmead. Hi, everyone.

Welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kilmeet Show. Normally, I'm coming from New York City, but today we're on the road in Virginia. Took a short flight right to Richmond from JFK. Getting out of Manhattan to JFK is always interesting. Got a little close, and all of a sudden, Things just stop.

And I'm thinking to myself, this is one of those times, because we're down to one lane, where there's an accident and I'm not going to be able to get to the airport. And I thought to myself, don't be too selfish because this has got to be bad. We just went to a dead stop, added a half hour to my time, and you know what it was? They were thinking about, it seems, paving one of the lanes. They just set up cones to curb traffic and they set it down.

That's why you have to. Bite your nails everywhere in New York City, and then you got to worry about the planes these days getting out of JFK. But it was like clockwork, and last night we had a great night as politics in Pinterest, beautiful theater, 800 people there, having a chance to talk about politics and what means the most to people in Virginia. Also, a little bit later on today, I'm going to be in Charlottesville, Virginia, at a place called First Free Coffee Bar from 2 to 4, and have a chance to visit all the great listeners at WCHV.

So, I hope to see you out there. Bob Cusack standing by. Robert O'Brien, former National Security Advisor to Donald Trump, and he will play a prominent role should Trump win. Will be joining us at the bottom of the hour. Busy hour.

So glad you're here. Let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. I think all of us want to do something about carbon emissions, et cetera. But the best way to do it is not through command and control mandates that will not work. Let the EV, the electric vehicle manufacturers, beat the gas-powered manufacturers.

56% by 2030. They want all cars in America electric. 56% being electric by 2030. The EV push has turned into a shove. I do not know how the public's going to react.

I know dealerships are going to react. They are not happy. And I know people at Ford are really looking to shelve the lightning.

So good luck with your mandate, Mr. President. Have you talked to anybody first? Number two. I think it's laughable that the Democrats are asking Lev Harness to weigh in on my credibility, a convicted felon.

If you keep lying, you will end up in prison. I'm not lying. You're the one who was lying. You're the one who went to prison. Yeah, that was Lev Parnas, who worked with Rue Giuliani to trape through Ukraine.

I don't know who led who, but Lev Parnas has made out to be the second coming. But Tony Bobolinski is the one with the great background, a verbal bloodbath. And Dem struggled mightily to shut down the eyewitness to the Biden family scandal. We'll re-examine the exchanges. We'll bring them back because you might have been working during the day.

Number one. I hope it dies on the vines. That's where it belongs. It was never a good case. It's the prosecutors who are trying to rush this case to try to get the convictions.

I think this may prove fatal ultimately to the case. And Alan Dershow was talking about all the Trump cases, but he was talking about Georgia there, the Trump trials, the bonds he needs, and the game plans that Joe Biden needs, despite pushing as he pushes to regather his base by essentially bribing them with student loan forgiveness. I'm talking yesterday, firefighters and cops. The Supreme Court told him not to, told him you can't unilaterally just forgive people's loans. It doesn't work like that in America.

I bet you Carloans is next. He will do anything for a vote. Bob Cusack joins us now, Editor-in-Chief of the Hill. Bob, welcome. Hey, Brian, how are you?

Bob, first off, there's two things I don't understand. I know you focus on political angle and agenda.

So now we're in a political year where everything should be about reelection, big and small seats.

So the President of the United States thinks it's a good idea to freeze all leases on natural gas, yet he still wants to win Pennsylvania. And then he knows these car dealers, these unions, are not thrilled with the boom in the electric car business, and people aren't buying them. They don't like the subsidies. How is it helping him to increase the mandate on electric cars and stop leases when it hurts Pennsylvania and it hurts them in Michigan? It's a very good question, Brian.

There's no doubt about it. I mean, if you look at the battleground states and the decision desk polling average, there are seven battlegrounds. I mean, debatable, you could say a couple more. And Trump is winning all of them, some of them quite narrowly. But also, that includes Pennsylvania and Michigan.

And that's Where Biden had some major problems. And I think Trump is going to continue to hit Biden on this because. As Trump says, it's fine if you want an electrical vehicle, that's fine, but let's not have these mandates. And as you mentioned, there's a split on the left. The unions are are not happy and that's That's a problem.

That's part of the reason why he's losing. I think it's it is energy is a huge issue on the ballot this year, and Trump has the advantage. Right, on natural gas, it helps us internationally. We're trying to tell them we're trying to tell Europe stop buying natural gas from Russia, and they're not supposed to be, but we could at least be their number one supplier. We're much more we're much more reliable.

Do a better job extracting it, it doesn't make sense because I would imagine, and you know better, that he's sewn up his extreme left. No one's done more for green energy than him. Yeah, no, he has. And obviously, there are some, like Bernie Sanders and AOC that wanted to go a lot further, but they were very happy with the Inflation Reduction Act. And that's one of the things that if Republicans have control of the House, Senate and White House next year, they're going to look to they've already voted in the House to repeal it.

So that's another thing on the agenda. But you're right. I mean, Biden does have trouble on the left regarding the Israel war. But among climate change activists, he's got them wrapped up, as you say. Michigan, right now, the latest poll, 24 percent of Michigan residents think he is doing a good job in the Israeli Gaza in in Gaza with the Israeli-Palestinian Hamas conflict, twenty-four percent.

But I think to me, and I don't run campaigns, but if you want to say if you guys aren't happy with me, this other guy is so pro-Israel, he makes me look ambivalent. Uh, so you're not gonna like this. I am doing I'm at least giving credence to both sides, but he wouldn't even bring it up. And Trump's kinda smart to lay out Not really saying much on this. Yeah, and I tell you, when you're talking about Michigan and the way laws are made now, at least sweeping laws like whether it's Obamacare or the Trump tax law, those are done when one party has full control.

And even though everything's up for grabs, the House, Senate, and White House, the chances are Republicans have a better shot to win everything than Democrats because the math of the Senate is favors Republicans, a lot of Democrats defending seats. And one of them is in Michigan. And that could real that's going to be a tight race.

So not only can Trump win uh Michigan, uh but uh Republican candidate like Mike Rogers, who's running is expected to win the primary, uh could win that open seat.

So it it's an issue across the board.

So what is your take on those hearings yesterday on the impeachment inquiry?

Well, I think where it's going to end up going is going to be criminal referrals. The House Republicans, with their small majority, They don't have the votes to impeach Biden.

So I think this is what's going to happen: that the exit ramp for investigators, including Jim Jordan and Comer is not a is not a bad one. It's not what they wanted initially. But that they would send criminal referrals to the Department of Justice. The Biden DOJ will do nothing with them, of course. And then the hope is.

Trump wins and then Republicans say, okay, now you can move forward with those criminal referrals because this the Department of Justice will have a very different look under. Under President Trump if he gets a second term. And that's going to be the big question because the thing that makes this different than everything else has to be the court cases. And the court cases right now. Uh doesn't look like any uh I'm not saying they're not going to be before election day.

But right now, if you look at what's happening in Georgia, they're in a delay. In New York's in at least a short-term delay, the Supreme Court's going to hear immunity, both sides on the immunity case for the President in April, and they're not going to decide it until June. And then you've got the documents case, and it doesn't seem like the Miami attorney, a judge, is in any rush because there's so many moving parts to it.

So, what is your take on the court cases? Yeah, I think there's going to be one or two that could start before the election. I don't think it's going to be a classified. Document case. The Georgia case is kind of a mess because of the Hawney Willis extramarital affair, et cetera, et cetera, and that has really stained that case.

And a lot of Democrats thought that was their best case against Trump.

So it remains to be seen, but I think you're going to have potentially the Atlanta case, and then you could have maybe one other. But it remains to be seen. Trump is winning as far as his strategy, of course, is to delay and appeal. And that is winning. And he was really helped by the Pony Willis controversy because that has really derailed that case and could actually take it down in the long run.

Right. I mean, yesterday was just so wild. I want you to hear this exchange with Nancy Mace, who was very organized as she moved through with Les Parnas and Jason Galanis and just basically asked them, because people keep saying, what's the crime? What's the crime?

So Bobolinski was there and Galanis was witnessing it. And what Bidens were a part of, what they believe Joe Biden knew and maybe played a major role in. Here's the exchange. Mr. Bobolinski and Mr.

Galanis, you both stated. You were told not to use Joe Biden's name in communications, correct, Mr. Bobolinski? Correct. Mr.

Galanis? Yes.

Okay. Did Joe Biden participate in phone conversations and meetings with Hunter Biden, his business associates and foreign interests? Yes or no? mister Bobolinski? He clearly did.

Okay, mister Galanis, yes or no? Yes.

Okay. In Hunter Biden's deposition, he said he did not involve his father in his business. Did Hunter Biden lie under oath, yes or no? Mr. Bobolinski?

Yes.

Mr. Galanis? That's what he said. Yes, I believe that's true. Is Joe Biden lying when he says he did not interact with Hunter Biden, Jim Biden, their business partners, or forward interest?

Yes or no? Yes.

Mr. Galanis? Yes.

Today, we've established Joe Biden lied about interacting with Hunter Biden's business associates. It is my belief Joe Biden is the closer for Hunter Biden, Jim Biden and their business associates in foreign interests. Good luck to the left proving otherwise. Is the case? Strong case, right?

Yeah, she is pretty good, and that was, I thought, a good line of questioning. And while they don't right now have that smoking gun, you do have to realize that Joe Biden has changed. The President has changed his position and his story on what he knew and when he knew it. And that is factual because a lot of details, some of it from the investigation, some in the media, That he did know and was involved and was on the phone with Hunter Biden associates. And the other thing that Hunter Biden Legal team, they're going to offense now.

Obviously, didn't show up for the hearing. I bet Parnas was. With the Democratic witness, obviously he has a shady past. But I just think it's one of those things where this is going to be in the minds of voters, and people are going to decide what they're going to decide. But the bottom line is is that whether he's impeached or not, is that he has changed his story.

And also, Hunter Biden is not a sympathetic figure.

So th they have to be careful of going too much on offense because that could backfire. Bob Cusack with us now from the Hill. Bob. When he looked into the camera on the debates and said, I knew nothing about my son's overseas business dealings. I had no business with China.

You had business with China. Both those things are lies, and he knew it. And he stared right into the camera and said it. He pretended as if the laptop, he never saw it before. 51 Intel experts say it's Russian disinformation.

He knew those were his emails and text messages. And he knew it was his son's sticker on top of it that said the Bo Biden Foundation. It was his. I mean, people should realize, people like to think the worst of Donald Trump all the time. Oh, he's a liar, he does this, and he's a showman, all this stuff.

Joe Biden, you cannot look at him the same way and think this guy's just a great guy that maybe lost a step or two. He's that comfortable lying. Yeah. Yeah, no, listen, they have not proven to be true. And really, if you look at polls, it's kind of remarkable.

It's less than half, but I can't remember the number off the top of my head. But a lot of people still, to this day, think the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation, which is kind of stunning, because that's not the case. It was his laptop. And again, Hunter Biden, a shady character, obviously has dealt with addiction. But you're right.

The president on multiple occasions. And that's the worst thing politicians can do. You should admit what you know because a lot of times the cover-up is worse than the initial crime. And Biden, I guess, assumed that people weren't going to find out. That he was.

He was involved. He was on the phone. He was talking to these people. Yeah, uh Bob lastly When it comes to these third-party candidates, I know RFK who's going to run. I just don't know how he gets on more than ten ballots right now because people have described to me what it takes to get on.

It is so tough. It is not built for you to be there. Uh and then Jill Stein, I guess, will be out there. And do you see no labels zeroing in on a ticket that would make any types of noise? Their big names seem to have balked.

Yeah. Yeah. No, that's a huge question that we're watching. No labels really have to come up with someone who's known. They came up with Jeff Duncan as a finalist, and America said, Who's Jeff Duncan?

So that they need to get someone with name ID. As far as RFK Jr., You know, he's doing well in the polls. You can look at it different ways of whether he's pulling more from Biden or Trump. He's to get, and you're right on the ballots, in order for him to potentially have a significant role and mathematically win, he's going to have to get on a libertarian ticket, which has already gone on 35 ballots.

So he's going to have to woo the libertarians because otherwise he's not going to get on enough ballots. And listen, the third party, if you get on enough ballots and you have 15% in the polls, and RFK Jr. is He's above that number. You can get in the debates if there are debates.

So whether it's no labels or RFK Jr., I don't think Jill Stein is going to get there, but there's a potential that you could have one or potentially two others in on that debate stage with Trump and Biden. But I think at most it would be one third party. But there's a real potential because a lot of people don't want Biden or Trump. Do now since they walked since the Republicans already walked away from the debate uh committee I mean, is there a chance there is no debates? Do you think it's better than fifty percent chance there are no debates?

I think there will I don't think there's gonna there's I don't think there's gonna be as many debates as we've seen in the past, where you have I believe three presidential and one VP. I do think there will be at least one debate. Trump wants to debate, and we've written stories Democrats are a little concerned about Biden getting in debate. But if Biden continues to drop in the polls and losing this race, he has to debate.

So I think there'll be an incentive For at least one debate. But beyond that, I'm not so sure. Go get him. Bob Cusack, always exciting. It's going to be a great sprint.

I look forward to talking to you again. Thanks, Brian. I did say sprint, didn't I? It's really six months. All right, you listen to the Brian Kill Me Show.

So glad you're here. 1-866-408-7669. Bottom of the hour, we talk to Robert O'Brien.

Next is you. Don't move. Hear the ins and outs of the 2024 election right here. The Brian Kill Meat Show. Information you want, truth you demand.

This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Hey, we are back. Let me try to squeeze in a couple of calls. Christy, you're in North Carolina. Hey, Christy.

Hey, how's it going, Brian? Good. You want to weigh in the kids' meals. Do you think adults should need ID to get a kid's meal? They gotta be 12 and under?

No, I think it's a bit ridiculous, honestly. I get kids' meals a lot. I'll tell you why. Number one, I try to eat healthy, right? I try to eat a lot of salads, vegetables, things like that.

But every now and then you get tired of that and you want a burger and fries.

Well, if I get the kids' meal burger and fries, I can have a taste of what I want, but I don't feel like I'm eating a half pound burger and, you know, twenty pounds of fries. I don't feel guilty about it if I get the kids' meal. But what about the portions? Yeah, so you ate the the smaller portions, but But the restaurant doesn't like it. They're thinking to myself: I got adults here.

I don't make money off kids' meals, I make money off adult meals. Right, well, you could have adults coming in and ordering a plate to share sometimes. My husband and I will go get an adult meal and share it.

So you're not making as much money there either. Or what about, you know, going out and having some appetizers and drinks? You know, maybe I'll just come in and get an appetizer then. That's about the same cost as a kids' meal.

So to me, it's kind of like, you know, apples to oranges. It seems kind of a silly argument. Right, they just don't want to do it. I mean, they don't like it. It's a principle thing.

I think this whole thing was built around room service, too. Christy says, give her a kid's meal and stop judging her. I agree. When we come back, Robert O'Brien, Brian Kilmeecho, from Richmond, Virginia. Don't forget, I'll be in Charlottesville, Virginia with WCHV listeners 2-4, the first free coffee bar.

From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmead. I'm concerned about the increasing relationship between the PRC and Russia. Um Again, I've articulated that the world is more global, it's more integrated, it's more connected. And the two authoritarian powers that are focused on delivering the same strategic objectives is. concerning.

Uh I continue to articulate that a Any win for Russia as it applies to the Ukraine is a win for Russia. China And that's not in our best interests.

So the continued support to Ukraine is critical. I agree with that, and that's Admiral John Aquilino. Aquilino, he is the U. S. Indo-Pacific Command Admiral, so he was up there testifying about the dangers of China.

It's one of these bipartisan things that people see and was as informational as it'll get. And Robert O'Brien is going to be with us in a second. I want you to hear a little bit more from the Admiral, Cut 32. There is no other adversary with the capability, capacity, means and intent to displace the United States. That's why it's the top priority.

So you would say, not to put words in your mouth, but you would say that this is an all-hands-on-deck call moment for folks across the enterprise, both in the Pentagon, in the service branches, and in the industry? That's exactly what I would say. And by the way, with a sense of urgency and in ways that can get past our slow and antiquated processes. Yeah, and we have trouble funding the government. It makes it hard for them to budget.

They have a huge budget, but we're only decreasing in the planes and ships, and the recruitment is down. It's a bad set of events, but it's all correctable. Robert Whitman was the one asking the questions there right here in Virginia, and we come to you today from Richmond. Joining us now is Robert O'Brien, now used to former National Security Advisor under President Trump. Robert, are you in California still?

I I'm out in California today, yeah.

Okay. Good to be with you, Brian. Yes, same here. It's always great to have Jan.

So real ca a real moment, enlightening moment yesterday in some of this hearing, how China has increased their defense spending seven point two percent despite having those economic struggles that they're experiencing. We know that they are combining much more with North Korea with Russia and with Iran, than when you left office Well, I know you do uh do you still get regularly brie regularly briefed? You know, I I keep up with things and have a lot of contacts, but I I don't get official breakings.

Now your thoughts on the dangers that China uh offers now as opposed to when you left?

Well, look, when we were in office, China was the existential threat to the United States of America. It's our whole way of life is at risk because of China. We've never faced a threat like China in our history of our country, going back to the Revolutionary War when we fought Britain the great power at the time. China's capable, they've got money, they've got a massive economy, they've got a national will that's They're they're very, very strong. They've they've got a nationalist communist ideology that motivates them.

and they want to displace the United States as the leader of the world. And uh They want they have a very different view of the the future than we do. They have a dist very dystopian view of the future. surveillance state uh Social credit scores, you do exactly what the government tells you to do. It's a very Owellian.

Future and they're both in the military to execute on those plans. And It's the United States is standing between them and world domination. And if we don't get our acts together soon, we're going to be in real trouble. Yeah, here's a. At the end of the first downbite, when you first dropped off the line, we got your back, he said it's vital that we continue our support to Ukraine, because if we give Russia this win, it'll be a China win and Taiwan goes down.

Do you agree with those series of events? Oh, I agree absolutely. What we need to do with the Ukrainians be the arsenal of democracy. I think what happened with the Ukrainians, the message got muddled, we started giving them money for. civil society and government pensions and that sort of thing.

The US the Europe Europe can do that. The US needs to stick with what it's good at, and that's hard power. the we the weapon systems they need, the training the military training they need. Just like we got on the javelin missiles during the anti-tank missiles during the Trump administration. We were the first administration New Guinea frame to play.

And that's what went through that three day prior armored access attack that the Russians launched in two years ago. And so President Trump gets a lot of credit for stopping that first attack. And I give the Biden folks credit for following on with that. But keep in mind when Biden when Biden was Vice President and Obama was President, They gave Ukraine no lethal aid. They gave us the Ataraid MREs and blankets, and that doesn't do very well against Russian tanks.

So we've got to win in Ukraine, we've got to win in Israel and defeat Iran. And we've got to deter China with Taiwan and maintain that democracy as well. It's a tall order. We can do it, but it's it's a tall tall order and we're not Taking the steps necessary to do it now. I know.

The problem is they slow walked everything. They eventually give them everything, but they slow walk them. And it's just so hard backing up a military operation that Joe Biden's in charge of. And that's why people are reluctant to get behind it. But the mission is correct.

Have you explained that to the President? Do you think the former President, the one man who used to work for President Trump, would possibly change his position on Ukraine and see the need to get them aid? to get the. I think the President Trump is very consistent on getting Ukraine aid. And he s started with the javelins, and I think he made the statement publicly, and I agree with this.

I don't talk about my private private conversations with President Trump then or now, but Yeah, he he said Putin would have never invaded Ukraine if I was president. And that's true because peace restrained works. These guys should spend all their time worried about provoking Putin into escalating and what the other side's going to do. I want the other side to worry about us escalating. I mean, they always talk about being concerned that Iran's going to escalate, the China's going to escalate, the Russians are going to escalate.

What about the other side worried about us escalating? Wh we're still the most powerful country in the world. And that's how you get peace, is by having the other guys worried about what we're gonna do, as opposed to us constantly wringing our hands. and worry about what the bad guys are going to do.

So this is what else the Admiral said. It was in charge of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command. Here's what he says: is what we're dealing with right now with the Armed Forces, Cut 33.

So, as it applies to the Joint Force. Uh you know With the capability and capacity that the adversary is building. Uh We need to continue our capability advantages, and we need to get to the right capacity. I don't support a smaller force in the Indo Pacific. And specifically, when you talk about half the globe, Most of it is water.

All of it is air. We need the right capacity at the maritime And the air component to be able to deliver the turn effects, and then, if the turn fails, to be able to fight and win.

So, I don't advocate for getting smaller. But we are. Air Force and ships, we are smaller, and the Army missed their recruiting goal by 24%. I mean, do you think fundamentally we just have to change the messaging to get people interested in the armed forces again? Do you think we have to have a massive buildup?

Well, we need both, Brian. And messaging is important. I bet my two daughters serve in the Armbrough. They're both officers. One's a pilot, one's a JAG officer.

Yeah, and I'm proud of them and uh but but was that fear and fear of military military families wanting their kids to serve because or a combination of things. There's the awokeness issue. Number one. Number two is this appeasement. You know, Americans want winners.

American soldiers want to win. They want to fight and win battles. They don't want to see what happened in Afghanistan and Abigail. We lost 13, you know, made 13 both star families that day tragically. They want to go out and kick button win.

And then third, You know, part of the messaging is that I love our friends at the Towns of Towers and the Wounded Warriors Foundation. But that's all American young people see of our military is people who are tragically injured or dead. And we need to Get back to some top-gun recruiting and talk about the U.S. winning and defeating our adversaries. not appease in our adversaries.

And so until we have a real seat change, we're not going to change our recruitment crisis. on the military buildup, look, this year's budget is a one percent increase. But keep in mind we're running inflation at three percent to four percent.

So It's actually a cut in military spending at the same time that Chinese are increasing dramatically. Their shipbuilding capacity is one hundred times ours.

So unless we we're going to retire twenty ships this year, only put out fixed new ones.

So that the admiral who's you know looking to to then the Pacific Is going to have to do so with the 17 fewer ships this year. I mean, it's really ridiculous.

So until you are manpower organized and and that's I think a an ideology of winning and peace with strength. And until we rebuilt the military, We're going to have a recruitment crisis and we're going to have a uh foreign policy crisis because our adversaries are going to seek to take advantage of our weakness. I hear you. Very dangerous to America. I know.

I wouldn't mind getting the swagger back. We have a great military, and we don't even talk about it. And I said the same thing. We see these great work Wounded Warriors are doing in selling the towers, but we don't see the all-you-can-be-ads. We don't see the former Navy SEAL who's now running a major company.

We don't see the men and women who are fighting and what they got out of it. My life was nowhere. I joined the military because I had no other option. It changed my life around, gave me direction, taught me leadership. And now I have three kids, and I'm changing the direction of my family.

And those type of things, half-lifestyle, half-war fighting. When I got on a bush, I'm having seen what my daughter went through with pilot training. And how amazing it is. When I get in the back of the plane, I'm on a plane a lot like you are, Brian. You know, I want to make sure that the former Navy or Air Force pilot up front, so if something goes wrong, they're going to land that plane.

So that that's what that's the message that we need to be sending out there. And God bless her wounded warriors. Absolutely. There's no bigger heroes in America, but. We also needed to show the other side that we fight and win, and talking about getting back to going 1,500 miles behind enemy lines.

and taking out that coward who killed the Americans and bringing justice to America. And I remember that night in the situation room with a commander of the task force called in on the radio. And said, tell the president we named our task force 814, which is Caleb Mueller's birthday. And the message was. America doesn't forget you kill her you kill one of our daughters.

We're gonna come looking for you. And we got 'em. And uh We need a little more of that and a little less awokeness and white rage. Absolutely. So, lastly, when it comes to Israel, Uh, the president's more than wavering.

He evidently called on the defense minister to come brief him on the plan forward in Rafa. He is pushing hard now in the UN for a resolution that would have a ceasefire and the return of the hostages. He is looking at his poll numbers in Michigan and saying, I got to change this. And he sees these demonstrations with young people and thinks I'm losing everywhere. I have to do it.

Are you concerned that this President is going to pull away from Israel the way you pulled out of Afghanistan. I'm very concerned about it, Brian. I've never seen domestic politics in 100,000 votes in Michigan. Drive a change in American policy towards our greatest ally, Israel. That we recognize we're the first country under President Truman and Democrats to recognize Israel in 1948.

They've been our steadfast ally. They were attacked in the most brutal, vicious way possible on October 7th. I mean something worse than nine eleven for them. Uh biggest Holocaust since uh The the Second World War of Jews being killed and raped and murdered and maimed and burned alive. uh by by animals and They're trying to defend themselves, and we're treating Hamas like it's some sort of NGO, but at the same time, we've got Democrats calling for regime change and a Democrat in Israel.

I mean, what happened to Ronald Reagan when they when you know the terrorists attacked us? And R Reagan said, You can run, but you can't hide. Why isn't our Delta Force and DevGru, our COTIM6? Working with the Israelis to try and free American hostages rather than building bridges to. sea bridges to supply homonics.

I mean, this is just absolutely outrageous. We need to get our head on straight here. Robert, the President the former President is winning in almost every battleground state. He's winning in most national polls. Have you thought about and spoken to him about having a role if he holds on to this lead?

Well, look, I for America, and this has nothing to do with me or my future, for America, we need to elect Donald Trump and change this administration because we we can't deal with another four years of Afghanistan, of Ukraine, those Taiwan, those And we've got Venezuela threatening the big Guyana, we've got an open southern border with Chinese nationals who look like military-age males and look like PLA soldiers with good dental work and flat stomachs flooding over the border. And we've got probably a division of PLA soldiers in America now kind of having come over our southern border. We can't do this for another four years. It's going to be, you know, it'll be very difficult for the country to recover.

So I hope President Trump is elected. I haven't talked to him about any role, but if he asked me, I grew up in a bolt hair family, and you salute and say yes to the president. I haven't been asked. I'm not I don't aspire to anything, but if he needs me, I'd be there for him. You got to get out of California and before they make you buy an electric car and give up your gas car engine.

So, one way or another. More time in Utah these days, Brian.

So is everybody else. And it's one of the best states that offers more than maybe anyone else in the country. And that's what this governor, Governor Gavin Newsom, is doing to it. Robert O'Brien, always great to talk to you. I appreciate your insight.

Good to be with you, Brian. Thank you so much. Thank you. 1-866-408-7669. Keep in mind, I'm going to be in Charlottesville.

I made a mistake before. I just got an email. I said Charlotte. My bad. Charlottesville, Virginia.

The name of the place is the first free coffee bar. I'll be there from 2 to 4. Then I'm hopping on a plane and flying home for tomorrow's show and getting ready for One Nation Saturday at 9 o'clock Eastern. I come to you one more segment here on the Brian Kill Me Show from WRVA. Expanding your knowledge base.

It's the Brian Kill Meet Show. A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. There is perjury on the witness stand, without a doubt. There are people in prison, people on death row, on lower levels of evidence than this.

What the judge tried to do was be Solomon and. Split the baby and the baby died. This is a terrible, terrible opinion. On the one hand, he says, I have a reasonable basis for wondering if the testimony is truthful. Then he proceeds to credit it and believe it.

When it comes to whether she paid the money back, whether or not they had the affair, all of that kind of thing.

So that's Alan Dershowitz talking about Judge McAfee deciding to keep Fanny Willis on the case. Why does that matter?

Well, yesterday he said you can appeal this case and my decision to leave her on it.

So it'll be another month to get both sides ready for them to petition in front of another court to delay further the president being tried at all, if at all, in Michigan, in Georgia. Here's more. Cut five. I hope it dies on the vines. That's where it belongs.

It was never a good case. I would hope that his lawyers can try to bring some kind of an appellate action which will delay. You know, everybody says. Trump is trying to delay. It's the opposite.

It's the prosecutors who are trying to rush this case to try to get the convictions, if they can, in jurisdictions like Fulton County and New York City and Washington, D.C., before the election, knowing that they may be overturned on appeal.

So it's a rush to judgment by the prosecutors, and of course, defense attorneys want to slow it down. I think this may. Prove fatal ultimately to the case.

So the other thing to talk about is it's hard to get it straight, but the Alvin Bragg case is also in a delay.

Now, the New York Attorney General, this is not delayed, Letitia James, by Monday says, I want to see that $450 million posted. And the President said, There's no bond company that's going to lend me $450 million when I can't use any real estate as collateral. And guess what? This woman, who probably never invested one thing besides her 401k in her life, or built anything perhaps by a shed that she might have got from Home Depot, she says that he could absolutely get the money. Really?

You're telling me that the former president has $450 million to go out and get a bond? He just doesn't want to? That's insane.

So he has asked the court to lower the bond rate. When I found out about this, I didn't know about this. I said, What is this the deal with this? And they said, In the past, they've definitely lowered rates when requested. And one of the reasons you put the bond up is so the guy or the woman, the defendant, doesn't escape.

That's not going to be a problem. Running for president. Number two. You have to have a sense of what they're doing with their business. Are they selling everything off to maybe undermine the decision?

He heard they already put a monitor in place to oversee all Trump transactions and all Trump properties. All this is is punishment. For a crime they said he did, and they are the sole plaintiff. They say New Yorkers need to get that $400 to $50 million, they're entitled to it. No, they're not.

So, listen, I'm going to meet you all in Charlottesville, Virginia, in a couple hours between 2 and 4 today at the first free coffee bar. See you there. Thanks, everyone, at WRBA.
