Tonight we're focusing in on Zoom with Galaxy AI on the new Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Ah, a baby tiger. Check out his claws as he prepares to pounce on that frog. A close one, but not as close as they seem. We can literally count the whiskers and.

Oh look! Mum's here. Good thing I'm nowhere nearby. Go wild with Galaxy AI on the new S24 Ultra and zoom in on the epic day or night. Get yours now at Samsung.com.

From Hia Top Fox News Headquarters in New York. New York City. Always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmead. Hi everyone, welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kill Me Show.

So glad you're here on this day. This hour we're going to be joined by Admiral James Sarvitas. All he did is run NATO and Southern Command for America. Got a brand new book out, and we talked to Sam Silverman as well. Sam is friends with Evan Kurskovich, who is still being held.

Uh in Russia. For trumped-up charges. We have Sean Styx Larson here, host of Crime Cam 24-7 on Fox Nation, brand new season about to start, retired Tulsa police lieutenant. Uh you know him well, especially here on Fox. And before we get to Uh Sean, let's get to the big three.

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

So, did Bobby Kennedy think. I actually think Bobby Kennedy might hurt Trump more.

Now, what worries me is Cornell West and Jill Stein. Because they're going to get some of the F et al vote, too. I think he's wrong on that, James Carvell. I think the RFK impact is going to be really big with his left-wing vice presidential candidate. And meanwhile, it's time for the Democrats to try to take them down.

We have new polling out, and Joe Biden's not going to be happy about what the RFK does to the race. Number two. At long last, sir, have you no chip shot?

Well, look. I'd be happy to play. I told him this before when he He came into the oval when he was being, before he got sworn in. I said, I'll give you three strokes if you carry your own bag. I don't know what that means, but that is Joe Biden's been asked about Stephen Colbert in a fun way.

Would he ever play against Trump? Star stud inteniered. President Biden foregoes the wake of a slain officer, Jonathan Dillard, and attends his $26 million Celebrity Radio City fundraiser with President Obama and with President Clinton. Like Lincoln Riley, Riley's murder. It seems like he wants these tragedies to just go away.

Number What is the message to the presidents at Radio City right now? What did they miss today?

Well, they missed a very sad moment for our country, but it's a moment that They have to be a part of whether they like it or not. that they can't skip this moment. Yep, that is President Trump yesterday. I was able to speak to him at the airport after going to the wake. Beyond Saad, that's the wake of Jonathan Diller.

It took place in Matspica, Long Island, and President Trump was there. I spoke to the former president, perhaps future president, about the family, law and order in America, and much more. You're going to hear some of that extended interview throughout the show. But now it's time to talk Law and Order with Sean Sticks Larkin. Sean, great to see you again.

You as well. Thank you.

So you come in on this. This is the ninth cop dead this year, countless shootings. It's on pace to surpass last year, which is around 53. Your thoughts about what you're seeing in New York and the outpouring of support for this family. You know, first of all, we'll talk about the outpour of support.

I mean, it is. Exactly what the men and women in law enforcement need to see. These last few years have been very, very tough for the profession, as we've talked about. You know, you and I together. I mean, this is how your show got taken off the air.

You had the number one show. That's it. Yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, George Floyd happened in May of 2020, and there was already a lot of animosity building towards law enforcement. You know, in my opinion, a lot of it falsely.

And then when that incident happened, it just catapulted. It was just fuel to the fire. Television shows pulled off the air. The whole anti-police, defund the police movement just escalated, magnified at that point. How about this word?

Reimagining police. Reimagining police. Or how about the areas that want to just. Not just reimagine police, get rid of police. You know, how's that working out, right?

Um, and so you know, in Tulsa in July of 2020, we had a police officer shot and killed in the line of duty right after the George Floyd incident happened. And I saw firsthand, you know, there in our community where you do have the support of the mayor, you do have the support of the majority of your city council and the citizens that are there in that city, and how everybody showed up. And that's what we're seeing here for Officer Diller and his family.

So the Sergeant Benevolent Association president came out and said, if you do not support the cops, I don't want to see you at that wake. I don't want to see you at the funeral. I wonder your thoughts. I know, I understand your thought, how you feel about it, but what do you think? Is that the right thing to say?

I believe it is. I love it. Because if these politicians, you know, people with a blue check mark on social media that feel they're very influential for those that follow them, whether it's athletes, actors, musicians, and things like that, that are so outspoken against the police without even knowing the facts of an incident. Yeah. To have somebody like that, the president of the SBA here in New York City, stand up and say, Hey, we don't want you to show up.

If you're going to talk about policing this profession in that way, don't try to get photo cred by showing up here for these types of things. I want you to hear Bruce Blakeman as the Nassau County executive. Nassau County, if you don't know around the country, is as big as most states in terms of density of population. They do pay their police well. And if you're in the NYPD, you look to get transferred out to Long Island.

It's usually safer. This is right on the border of Nassau and Queens, where the shooting took place, where Bruce Blakeman actually grew up. Here's what he said about President Trump being out there and being by his side and what he saw cut to. I just want to say thank you to President Trump. uh for coming here To be with the Diller family.

It was very comforting for them. It was very warm inside. And people were very, very, they were very blessed. To have someone like President Trump who cared so much, spent a lot of time with the family, and was again. A tremendous comfort to the family and probably the most difficult time this family's ever had.

May God bless Stephanie. Ryan, we are going to help raise. Because he's only one years old and he's going to grow up without a dad, but he's going to have thousands of dads that are going to look after him. And to Fran, his mother, and to Jessica, Jennifer, and Jason, his brother and sister, and the whole family, Aunt Carol, Uncle Jimmy, our hearts go out to them. May God bless them and may God bless America.

And and by the way, his brother-in-law, uh, his wife's brother in the uh in the police force too, and a close cousin in the police force, just like the military, a lot of you uh a lot of the police families become generational. Yeah, absolutely. I myself, b both of my parents were, you know, active du active duty military. My father was in for 32. My mom was in for 20.

My brother was in. My sister was in. And I happen to be the only person that went into law enforcement. You know, nobody in my family knows how to dress themselves. We have all chosen careers that we have to put a uniform on and serve our country in some way.

And so. Officer Diller's death, you know, it affects his immediate family, the one-year-old that he has, the wife, and just the community, the New York Police Department. But just, as you said, these generational families that have numerous law enforcement officers in them, it hits deep. I know not everyone listening to us right now has a subway system in their city, sometimes in a small town, but in New York City was the first. And now I think it's one of the most dangerous.

And yesterday, the same day that Officer Diller was killed, they had a man just waiting, Sammy Sanchez, 50 years old. He's just waiting for a subway, and this lunatic comes down, doesn't break stride, looks at the train and times it perfectly and throws him in front, and he dies a horrific death.

So Mayor Adams talked about that, cut six. One is recidivism. You cannot continue to have thirty-eight people. assaulted Transit employees and committing over 1100 crimes in the city. Two, severe mental health illness.

It's a real problem. We see it in our system. People need the help that they deserve, and we are. Focus on doing that with the entire team that we have in place. And three, the random acts of violence.

It plays on the psyche of New Yorkers when someone is pushed to the tracks or someone shoots a gun in the subway system. Those three aspects are sending the message that our city is out of control. Our city is not out of control. You know, he was a captain. Yeah, yeah, that's correct.

You know, I'll say this. New York City is it draws people in from around the world. There's a lot of tourism here. It's a major revenue source for this city. Is it weird to see this many people in this type of city?

No, believe it or not, Tulsa is a decent-sized city. We have running water, you know, the internet. You know, we have a lot of people who are in the world. We don't like it. Yeah, KRMG.

Yeah, absolutely. No, you know, I love coming out here to New York. But I can tell you, I've seen the change just as everybody else that lives here has in the last four or five years. I mean, there's a lot of change that's happened here post-pandemic, including The the incidents of crime we're talking about, the city. To me personally, coming in on a weekly basis, it's dirtier.

But They put these guards in the subway stations. They called for extra police down there. But unless something changes and we start holding the people responsible that are committing crimes over and over again or punishing even the smaller crimes, these types of things are going to continue to happen.

So, you know what's so interesting? Carl Hastie, one of the most powerful politicians in Albany and New York, said, Well, you guys keep on doing bail reform, but there's no sense that stiffer penalties affect the number of crimes that take place or are an effective deterrent. What is he missing? He's missing that, you know, penalties holding violent offenders. In prison, that means they're not out here walking.

That's good for you and I. It's good for the citizens of New York City or whatever community they're coming back to. That's who it matters to. We shouldn't cater to these, like I said, repeat violent offenders. I keep using that word over and over again, but those are the guys that are doing it.

It's a small percentage of the population that is responsible for a large number of violent crimes.

So, Sean Stig-Larkin, I like to think he's here to see me, but it's really the main reason is his expertise in law and order. And Crime Cam 24-7 is now out, brand new season on Fox Nation. We come back more about this and how it relates to the Danny Penny story. This is the Brian Killmeat Show. Diving deep into today's top stories.

It's Brian Kilmead. I'm Emily Campano, host of the Fox True Crime Podcast. Far too often, women's lives are cut short as they fall victim to unthinkable crimes. But each week this month, I'll be joined by women who fought back, survived, and took back control. You won't want to miss this month's stories of survival, strength, and resilience.

Listen and download on Apple, Spotify, and FoxNewsPodcasts.com. The more you listen, the more you'll know. It's Brian Kilmead. Hey, we are back and we're talking to Sean Stix Larkin, host of Crime Cam 24-7 on Fox Nation, retired Tulsa Police Lieutenant. And you saw him with probably the most successful show on television.

What network was that on? That was over on AE. Yeah, so it was. Live PD was the name of it. And they just simply stopped because you and Dan Abrams had stopped because everyone didn't like the police anymore, so we can't have a successful show.

Well, there was the perception that people didn't like the police. I mean, and I think there are well-documented numbers in the television industry that shows what happened to the AE total viewership once they pulled that show off the air every Friday and Saturday night. And I think, listen, during its peak, I believe the numbers are around 2.1 million viewers per show, per an episode on a Friday or Saturday night. And if you're keeping people home in America on a Friday, Saturday night, you know, with numbers like that to watch a show is obviously a huge hit. And after George Floyd, the decision was made by executives.

you know, to pull the show off the air. I personally was still an active police officer at that time, and it was a slap in the face to me and to the profession. And Again, I'm not a TV executive. My opinion is I think you could use as actually as an opportunity and say, hey, policing is the most talked about topic in the country right now. Tune into the only show that lets you watch it live from your home.

But they just overreact it like they did throughout the entire pandemic when they told us it's okay to riot. You can't get the virus that way, so you could take over and wreck New York City. People have to blow up steam. It was just a joke.

So, Sean, good news for us. You got your shows.

So, tell me about Crime Camp 24/7. You know, it's the producers Paul Tonelli and Chris Lavelle came up with this concept and Basically, they are gathering incidents of crime that are caught on camera across the country. And I'm talking everything from home surveillance systems, cell phones that everybody has, police, body, dash cam, helicopter cam, you name it, any type of crime that's caught out there.

Some of it is very tough to watch. I mean, there's a lot of evil out there. There's also some of it that is, I hate to use the word comedy, but it's kind of comedy watching these idiots try to commit crimes. Criminals, yes, some of them are very terrible at it. All right, I want you to hear.

I don't know if this is going to transfer to radio, but this is a great clip. This is an armed woman. Where is she? She's at the police station? The police station, yes, sir.

And she's armed. And what does she want to do?

Well, you know, typically police get called out to locations for problems, and every once in a while, the problem comes to us. And this woman walks into a police precinct armed with a gun. And Right away he starts cracking off rounds inside the precinct. Officers are hoping to avoid getting in a shootout inside the police station. They remain in a defensive position and attempt to negotiate a surrender.

In a loopy, the woman continues smoking her cigarette, then fires two shots at the secure door. Yeah. The shooter drops her weapon, gets up, and alternates between slamming her fist against the wall and pacing back and forth. Officers wait for their chance to end this standoff as safely as possible.

Okay, she just went to the waiting. With the woman facing away from the secure door and her weapon on a bench, officers seize their opportunity to bring an end to the situation. Officers burst through the door and tase the woman before she can reach her firearm.

So it's crazy. Who would never do that? Absolutely crazy. And you know, here's the. One of the craziest things of this story is the woman actually, the firearm she possessed belonged to her former NYPD officer boyfriend.

So she had taken this gun from him and gone into the police station, essentially trying to do a suicide by cop. And luckily, the officers never had to use that. And what else can we expect this season? You know, kind of as I mentioned, there's things caught on camera every I think there's roughly like two billion hours of footage a day, I think, based on the number of cameras that are out there. Body cam.

Body cam, again, home surveillance systems, you know, cameras that are inside of business as cell phones and things like that. And so you're going to see, you are going to see some officer-involved incidents. You're going to see some unsolved crimes that we hope the public can help out with because there are good videos of suspects. But you're also going to see videos where citizens themselves stand up, fight back, both to refuse to be a victim, to help their fellow man, and there's even one we're going to have in this season where you see citizens helping police.

So do you think when you see some crackdown in San Francisco. When you see some pushback in Washington, D. C. The carjacking that's taking place, when you see people who seem to be fed up in New York. We see their kids being shot at a bus stop in Philadelphia.

Have all these people, these DS exposed themselves as being somebody that is not good for this country, that the delegitimized cops is not good? Do you see in 2024, Sean, a change from 2022 and above all, 2020? We need it. I can tell you that. You haven't seen enough of it.

I personally, listen, those that, in my opinion, have common sense, that's just the word that I'm going to use, common sense saw this coming. When all this stuff started happening, these big changes, you know, the funding diverted away from holding people accountable and things of that nature. This was going to happen. The bad guys are the bad guys. They're going to do what they're going to do.

And if they know there is not a punishment or a light slap on the wrist, they're going to keep doing it. I hope we see these changes, not just in the White House here in 2024, but district attorneys, prosecutors, you name it across the country.

Some changes need to be made so we can get this thing. Steer them the correct direction it needs to be, because otherwise we're in a lot of trouble.

So, can technology help? That's the question. We're trying to use technology to stop the farebeaters. I've watched people, more people scale, just jump over the tolls, which is costing the city billions. And they say, statistically, the people that just jump the tolls are the ones that are going to commit the crimes.

That's usually not the only crime they commit.

So uh the mayor is teaming with a private company To come up with a plan to scan your bags without scanning your face and using facial recognition surgery, which would be a possibly. A privacy violation, cut seven. And the companies that we're partnering with and announcing today is Evolve. They're weapons detection systems. Like the one here today, are already in use in the city at private companies as spaces where the public visit every day.

Like the Met and One Vanderbilt. Another day I was coming out of an office building and I saw it being used there. is at numerous sporting events.

So like As you hear this. Are you optimistic that maybe technology will get the National Guard out of the subways where they're looking through every bag, and we could start seeing people just walk through? Quickly? Listen, I'm a fan of technology. I was in the job or on the job for almost 25 years.

So going from the 90s up until now, there was a lot of change in technology for law enforcement. Police officers themselves were not big fans of change, so it takes a little while. But everything that came in was good. I hope that does make a difference. But listen, license plate readers, you know, there's a lot of pushback on those.

Those things are helping departments hugely. Unbridgeed too, where identifying corruption is huge. New season of Crime Camp 24-7. Another reason starts at 6 o'clock on Fox Nation. Another reason you got the Fox Nation app.

Thanks. Thanks, Sean. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead. From the beginning, when decisions are being made in a Pentagon approved by the White House, very quickly everything starts to get assembled and packaged for movement.

That is ready to go. Once the funding is there, the decision is there, the shipments will begin. That, of course, General Keem with me this morning on Friday. I just asked him when they greenlight this, and I believe. Speaker Johnson is going to go to green light Ukraine aid.

is the stuff ready to go? Or do you have to ramp it up? Or do you have to manufacture it? And he said, no, it is ready to go. Joining us now is Admiral James Davridis.

He's also concerned about the lack of funding with Ukraine, among other things, in this country, the sixteenth Supreme Allied Commander of NATO. Author of a brand new book, 2054, a novel of the next world war. Admiral, welcome back. Great to be back. And General Jack, you know, he's a former vice chairman.

of the Vice Chief of Staff, I should say, of the U. S. Army.

So he really knows the logistics and the supply and the movement of these kind of weapons systems. He is one hundred percent correct. The Pentagon is just like a dog straining on a leash, the minute it gets green lighted, that ammunition in particular will be flowing.

So hopefully, the speaker will see his way clear to doing that very soon because it's getting kind of close on the front lines in Ukraine, Brian. Vladimir Putin came out and said, I'm not going to attack NATO. Don't be ridiculous. And if you bring F-16s to the fight, we're just going to blow them up just like we've done in the past. I'm just paraphrasing what he said.

Your thoughts about both his proclamations? Yeah, they're both ridiculous. Let's recall two years ago when 200,000 Russian troops surrounded Ukraine. We were assured by Vladimir Putin, by Sergei Ivanov, their Minister of Foreign Affairs, every senior Russian lied to the world. And the next thing we knew, it was fortunately a failed attempt to take down Ukraine in a matter of days.

So I put no stock whatsoever in his assurances. And I think he will eventually attack NATO if he is allowed to achieve victory in Ukraine. On the second one, F-16s can take care of themselves, Brian. Those are really capable jets. We've spent a long time training these Ukrainian pilots.

I think it'll be the other way around. The skies of Ukraine are going to become a no-go zone for Russian aircraft, which would be easy victims to an F-16 and an air-to-air dock.

Well, that's dramatic. Admiral, that's dramatic.

So, how close are we to doing this? You know, we heard the training was going to start in the fall. Yeah, we're very close. Very close. And I will be the first to say it's taken too long.

I think you and I on air 18 months ago were talking about the need to get the F-16s there. It took over a year to make the decision.

Now it's taken, I think, too long to train the pilots. But all my sources, and you can double-check me with General Jack next time you have him, all my sources say the Ukrainians will be flying F-16s by June, which is three months from now.

So I think they could make a significant difference on the battlefield.

So, Admiral, in the middle of all this, a devastating attack on a concert hall from ISIS-K, I mean, they said they got five of the 11 that were in there. They won. They sliced the guy's ear off and made him eat it. They beat him senseless. They stick him in clear cages.

And they're probably torturing them right now. what's behind this? I believe from Tajikistan with visas that allowed them to be there. And ISIS K has got a huge problem with Russia. Is it because of the chaos they brought to Syria and the backing of Assad?

Yes, it is. You've got it exactly right. A lot of terrorist groups look at Russian activities against Muslims, and they would point particularly, as you say, to crushing the rebellion in Syria against Assad. But also, Brian, earlier than that, the Russian terrorist attacks. against Chechnya, former Republic of Russia.

It's long and complicated, but the bottom line is terrorist groups have long had Russia in their gun sights. And this is what happens when you have an incompetent Homeland security apparatus. Clearly, they do. And secondly, the United States and some people will question this, but I think correctly Provided Russia with advanced warning. And in fact, the U.S.

Embassy was telling American citizens in Moscow, don't go anywhere near a concert hall. We knew this was coming. We told Russia. Putin refused to do anything about it. It's an indication, frankly, of how incompetent and rotten that regime is.

Final thought: ISIS K. The K is for Khorazon, it's Afghanistan. These are The remnants of ISIS that are now operating pretty freely across Afghanistan. Another reason the withdrawal from Afghanistan is going to continue to haunt us. I was reading with Foreign Policy magazine that Al Qaeda is working with the Taliban to mine gold There's gold in Afghanistan?

I had no idea. There's not only gold, Brian, there's enormous rare earths, notably lithium, which goes in every single battery that goes in a car. And so Afghanistan sits on top of probably a trillion dollars in gold, rare earths, many other minerals. It could be ultimately a very rich country. They've never been able to mine it adequately because of the collapsed security situation.

But let's face it, not good news when you see the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, A, working together and B, doing so in a way that provides them a highly transferable asset like gold, which will only be used against the West. It's unbelievable. It just exactly. The reason I always believe, Admiral, if you explain that to the American people.

Soberly, by keeping 2,500 troops there, we'd be able to keep an eye, a close view of our greatest enemies, as well as be able to watch. The natural resources. Of Afghanistan, not to mine them, not to take them, but to make sure they don't end up with China. I hear China is all over Bagram Airport. I hear they're they're in Ko Kabul.

100% correct. And just look at a map. As you say, it's the location. Afghanistan sits in this strategic crossroads. There's a reason Alexander the Great passed through there 2,500 years ago en route to India.

It's the crossroads of Europe and Asia. And it's full of minerals. Unfortunately, we made a decision to pull out at a terrible moment. And on top of that, final thought, the Europeans were willing to stay there with us. By the time we pulled out, yeah, there were 2,500 U.

S. troops there. There were 5,000 European troops there. They would have stayed as well. We could have held off the Taliban, in my view, forever.

Finally, with 2054, a novel of the next world war, what remnants are happening right now to fuel your theory on our future conflict? Yes, the number one thing is something we haven't talked about, and it's artificial intelligence. Just as nations today are in a geopolitical scramble for gold and oil Mid-century, 2054, the scramble is going to be who controls artificial intelligence. That's the backdrop to the book. And I think correctly, if we look at what's happening today, you can drop a plumb line to mid-century.

And frankly, it's a foot race between the United States and China that we have to win to stay ahead in AI. That's really the message of the book. Admiral 2054. Admiral, I hope to see you on Memorial Day. I'll be out in your area of Jacksonville.

So I hope to see you. Wonderful. All right. That's a promise. And I hope you're going to be a metro diner.

Absolutely. Admiral Stervidas, thanks so much. Appreciate it. All right, we come back. We talk about Evan Kurzkovich still being held for fallacious reasons in Russia.

Sam Silverman, longtime friend, joins us in the studio. Giving you everything you need to know. You're with Brian Kilmead. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show.

Was he born to be a journalist? Yes, I think he was born to be a journalist. He, I think, had always been seeking a life of adventure and his travel, his writing, working at the Wall Street Journal as a Russia correspondent, it was his absolute dream job. I got a call from my mom, and it's just my stomach fell out. You know, your heart stops.

It's so hard to believe that something like that is actually real. And I remember my mom and I discussing the morning after, is that really Evan, that photo that came out? We didn't want to admit for a moment that that was him. Did you think it was a possibility? I mean, Russia a year ago had already become dangerous.

Other news organizations were pulling reporters out. I would say my whole family was nervous. He would always remind us he's an accredited journalist. and therefore he thought he was safe. Yeah, it's very unprecedented.

Uh well, they decided that he was a spy and it's been one year. And Evan Gerskrowitz is still being held against his winds, against his will. And that was his sister speaking on another network with me now in studio, Sam Silverman, college roommates, longtime friends, still friends, still riding him in prison. Sam, thanks so much for joining us. I guess you know Evan's whole family at this point.

What do you think everyone should know about what the last year has been like for him, Evan? It's been an incredibly tough year, as you can imagine. He's been locked in a small prison cell for 23 hours a day. The only contact with the outside world has been with his lawyers, with the U.S. Ambassador, with letters that he's able to get in and out, although those are read and censored, of course.

But yeah, this is the most difficult year that he could ever imagine and that his family and friends could imagine either. You write him letters. What do you make sure to put in there to give him the play by player and what's going on here? And what's his response been? Yeah, we just try to keep him updated with the life that he should be a part of.

You know, he's an avid sports fan, really social guy. You know, he's a die-hard Jets and Mets fan, so I love to rib him about that. Right.

Well, I'm sure this is the only good thing about he didn't witness the most disappointing season in New York Jets history. Exactly. Did you write him that to try to? Oh, of course. Yeah, I was thrilled to tell him about Aaron Rodgers.

Right, because you are not a Jets Region. I'm a Patriots fan.

So we've had a rivalry going back to our freshman year. But, you know, he's kept a remarkably good humor in the tone of his letters that he writes back. He's always joking around. He's always asking about other people what's going on. He missed seven weddings the past year, two of which he would have been the best man at.

And so just keep him up to date with the life that he should be a part of. You know, I know it doesn't help to speculate, but I remember because we did it as a talking point. I thought the expansive article he did about the reality of Russian economy, that it's not like it's been portrayed. And he said, This is what I'm witnessing. And a couple of days later, he ends up being scooped up.

And they go, He's spy. He's saying this column is so good, someone wants to give him the information. But. The fact that they would just do that and think to themselves, you're doing this to the Wall Street Journal. You would think that that would be armor around you.

100%. And that's what he thought, too. That's what we all thought. You know, he's an accredited journalist. He's a U.S.

citizen. No U.S. journalist has been. jailed by Russia since the Cold War, over forty years. And so, you know, he was reporting the facts.

He's not a spy. And the fact that they accuse him of that is is total garbage. How's the family holding up? Every day it gets a little bit harder. You know, they are remarkably resilient and strong.

His parents are Soviet immigrés. You know, they've been through a lot in their life, but they've. Managed to settle down and create this fantastic family in the United States. I think the most remarkable thing about them is they've really adopted the American optimism of every story having a happy ending, and they're pushing through with that on their faces all the time. You know, Paul Whalen is another guy that said Marine did obviously help for ridiculous reasons.

We don't have any of their guys. I mean Just tell me, you wouldn't tell me anything that's not going to work on Evans' behalf, but. How are they going about engaging with the Russians, being that we've basically broken off relations with them since they invaded Ukraine? Yeah, I honestly don't have insight into that process. I mean, I've heard that there's open communications between the U.

S. government and the Russian government. I don't know who that's between or what the discussions are, but we've been assured that the U. S. government is working on it as Daily, as much as they can, to try to secure the release of Evan and Paul and every wrongfully detained American overseas.

So Ben Hall picked up the Wall Street Journal today, as you did, and you saw a big blank white space, and that's because that's the column that Evan should be writing. And here's what Ben Hall said, who obviously went through hell by blown up by the Russians in the Ukraine war, and he's battled his way back on air and back in his life. Cut thirty. The Wall Street Journal wrote this about him today. Evan has lost twelve months of normal existence as a kinetic and curious thirty two year old, a year he should have been jetting around Europe and the US between groups of friends, his family and his reporting trips to Russia.

There has been a burst of weddings and engagements of friends from high school and college. He has missed a year of Arsenal, the Mets and the Jets, his favourite teams.

So that was a little of the tribute. Pretty accurate, right? Yeah, 100%. What did being at the Wall Street Journal mean to him? That was his dream job.

I mean, he'd been working up towards that. You know, he was raised in a household that, you know, he spoke Russian. He had a lot of Russian heritage. He still speaks Russian. I mean, nothing but Russian nowadays.

And getting a job where he could report what was happening on the ground in Russia for the Wall Street Journal was. The assignment of a lifetime. Did he like being there? He did. Yeah, he'd lived there for five years before all this.

You know, there was something that he was really He was determined to show us as friends that the Russia that we think of, the stereotypical image that we have of it, is not. what it's really like on the ground there. And he had built a great life for himself with a good Group of friends, you know, dating a lot, had a great job. You know, he really did enjoy it there, and he enjoyed his job kind of depicting what Russia was really like to the world. Can you visit?

Can you have visitors? To Russia? Uh you you you could before his parents visit his parents had visited yeah before the war in Ukraine broke out but have they visited him since he's been in prison? They have been able to see him in a in the courtroom uh during one of his you know one of the appeals they could grab them I mean, anyone who goes over, they could go go ahead and make some other charge. They it's a risky situation, and they know that, but to see their son even for a few fleeting minutes is worth the risk.

So how's Wol how's the Wall Street Journal done keeping Evans' name out there? I think they're doing a fantastic job. I mean, they are keeping him top of mind, not just at the journal, but with a lot of different media organizations. And, you know, they are doing everything in their power to make sure that everyone is aware of Evan's circumstances and knows why they should care. You know, this isn't just a situation that his friends and families.

Should care about. It's something that all Americans need to care about because this is an American citizen who's been taken hostage by a foreign government. Has he been moved from his original prison cell into more dire or better circumstances? No, he is still in the same cell in Lefortovo prison, which is the most notorious Russian prison. You know, we're actually looking forward to getting him moved into a different, less severe place, but he's still in pretrial detention.

His trial hasn't even started yet. They just extended his pretrial detention. They keep bringing him out and extending it, right? Exactly. Claiming that they're gathering more evidence.

In June. Yes, yeah. And, you know, it could be extended further beyond that. Does he have a lawyer? He does have lawyers, yes.

And is it a Wall Street Journal-appointed lawyer or is it a lo Russian lawyer? I I am actually not sure about that. 'Cause that's key. Because I don't really see the Russian lawyers doing much defending these days. Look, there's the reality of the situation, it doesn't matter what lawyer he has, it's a sham trial.

He's going to be convicted. There's almost no doubt about that. All right, Matt, thanks so much. Sam, I should say, Sam Silman, friends with Evan Griskovich. Thanks so much for coming down here, keeping his name out there, and hopefully, I'll have you on with him in this very studio.

Absolutely. Thanks so much. All right, this is the Brian Killmee 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. All right, from 48th and 6th of Midtown, Manhattan, Brian Kill Me Joe. This hour, you're going to get part one of my interview with President Trump, and then you'll get part two at about 10:50. Paul Morrow is in here right now, and then John Taffer will have some fun with the Bar Rescue creator, founder, and a great American. He's going to be with us.

Paul, great to see you. Thanks so much for coming in. We've been many TV hits. Man, do we need you now? Your thoughts, first off, about Jonathan Diller and his family as we move to day two of the wake, where Cardinal Dolan's going out, President Trump yesterday, and then there's supposed to be thousands to come for the funeral on Saturday.

And there will be. You know, I was there yesterday, and in the pouring rain, you had thousands of cops just waiting in line just to get in to pay respects. You know, much respect to tunnel to towers. They put up tents for us and everything so that we weren't getting soaked. But look, I it there couldn't be a more stark contrast to President Trump And Bruce Blakeman, Nassau County executive, showing up to pay their respects, and it meant a lot to everybody.

There, that they turned up at the same time we all know that the last three Democrat presidents were holding a pep rally in Radio City. Does that matter to the cops? Do they know that? Oh, they do. Of course, they do.

They're avid consumers of the news. And, you know, what bothers me is that why wouldn't President Biden even just make a phone call? He'd be treated respectfully. It's the sitting president. You know, it's just that, so of course they do.

And, you know, we're already down about 2,500 cops with the NYPD, depending on how you slice it. And, you know, we need this country needs all the Jonathan Dillers we can get. And what does it say when you have one of the major political parties in this country has decided that, you know what, our base won't put up. with us actually respecting this guy. To me, that really is indicative of a party going in the wrong direction.

Did you see the video? the incident. I did. I don't wanna watch it. I saw the beginning of it.

I cut it off.

So As you see, this guy, these killers, one guy whose nickname was Killer. The other guy was Guy Rivera, who was who killed police officer Diller.

So he has been charged with first and second-degree murder, first and second-degree attempted murder, four counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, third-degree criminal possession of a weapon. This guy spent the majority of the last 30, 25 years in prison. He was off probation in 2023. Do you understand the mindset of someone who was looking possibly to commit another crime in the bus lane in Queens? Seemed to be surveilling another potential place.

Yeah, I mean, that car had upwards of three dozen priors in it.

Okay. The driver was out, having already served about 10 years for attempted murder. He was out on a loaded gun charge, and you know, a um An epilogue to this story that you're not hearing much about is that when they tossed the car, you searched the car, they found another gun, including the gun that was used to kill P.O. Diller.

So, you know, look, allegedly, all right, because Rivera is innocent until proven guilty in our system. But again, how many we need all the Jonathan Dillers we can get. And Diller approaches the car. He's a third-year cop. You know, some of the tickets last night at Radio City went for $500,000.

Do you think Diller would ever see $500,000 clear in his life? That's about 10 years' salary for that guy. And yet he's willing to go with his, you know, with his team approaching that car. It looks like tactically they did everything right. But unfortunately it hit him just below the vest, perp luck, and uh you know now it's what we have here.

So, Barack Obama had a quote. It's not worth the poll moment for you to weigh in normally to bring you to politics, but here's what he says. He was talking about Joe Biden. He says, Joe volunteered for this job. We all do.

But at the end of the day, you do have to make a choice. And the question then becomes: who is it that really sees you? and cares about you, I'm pretty confident the other guy doesn't. But Actions say the story. This guy chose to be with Will Arnett.

And do a podcast and have Mindy and Stephen Colbert at Radio City for $500,000. You could take a picture with the three presidents.

Well, the other guy showed up for those people that make $45,000 a year, four men and women. Chip, they might have been more than likely going to vote for him, but he didn't do it for the votes. He had those votes already. That's right. He showed up on his own dime, with his own plane, on his own time, fully staffed, caravan here.

I think Barack Obama set his boy up for a comparison that he will lose. Yeah, I agree. And, you know, Democrats, it shouldn't be any mystery to them as to why they're losing blue-collar voters across demographics, black, white, Hispanic, whatever. There's a reason they're fleeing that party because the optic is accurate. They are the party of the coastal elites of the urban intelligentsia.

And people that work for a living in blue-collar jobs, you'll work at day five. Folks that are on the subways, that feel the menace in the commuting systems in all these blue cities, they understand that this party seems to be moving away from them in leaps and bounds. And it's just miraculous that they don't seem to see it by a simple phone call. He could have assuaged the optic here. He doesn't even seem capable of it.

I think they're afraid of gaffes. I think they're afraid of having him go into the wake because it's not entirely choreographed, and they're afraid that he may stumble and say something that they don't want him to say.

So Yeah, this is why they are losing. Look, there are 700,000 sworn law enforcement in this country. Add their spouses, their relatives who vote, retirees, etcetera. It's a big voting block, and they seem to have just decided to punt on it and they're going to stay with the glitzy and beautiful folk on the coast. I was told that the reason why some crime stats come down is because a lot of precincts don't even report to the FBI anymore.

So someone told me 31 separate states, just 31 precincts, for example, will not even report it. Got 20 homicides. What is the point? I'm not reporting it.

So the FBI numbers, according to NYPD numbers in terms of homicides, they are off about roughly 60 murders.

So there you go right there. And NYPD doesn't report to FBI.

Now, in their defense, it's because of a glitch in the law. The way the New York law works does not exactly correspond to the metrics that the FBI uses. LAPD doesn't report to the FBI either.

So there is a glitch in the total numbers. More importantly, I think in terms of non-reporting is the fact that roughly 50% of quality of life crimes don't get reported, even to the NYPD. People just eat it.

So all of this shoplifting and stuff that you see, a lot of it is heavy incentives not even to report it because the insurance goes up, people get fired, the security guards get fired, so they don't even want that. And as a result, we see the city deteriorating and it's not reflected in numbers.

So Eric Adams came out yesterday and he says, I have a new idea. I team with a private company and we're going to be having body scanning weapons. We're not going to hold on to it, body scanning weapons. What do you know about this technology, if anything?

So what they're looking to do for the subways. They're looking to do it for the subways, exactly. And they want to have body scans for that. You know, this was the initiative behind putting the National Guard in the subways. You know, as opposed to saying, hey, let's do what we know worked in the past, which is to lock people up that we catch with weapons or catch assault, especially recidivists, assaulting people on the subways.

Let's lock them up where they can't do any more damage.

Now they're putting these prophylactic things in place. But for instance, the National Guard situation, you were allowed to just walk away if you didn't want to have your bag searched, okay? I want to see how much actual enforcement comes out of this kind of scanning. I'll believe it when I see it. Right.

And the other thing, Paul, to be clear, is that the city does not feel as safe than it was.

So there's just no doubt about it. And they know it. And you see that shove incident where somebody just got shoved on the train saying that they're going to be able to get it. Women getting punched in the face all day. They let the guy out.

A textbook assault, too. They let the guy right out in Brooklyn. Gonzalez is as bad as Bragg, by the way. By the way, you said a punch to the face to a girl that did what to her, this woman? He broke bones in her face.

He knocked out a couple of her teeth. She's got nerve damage. And what happened to the guy when they caught him? They let him out. They caught him.

They waited for the police. The police came. They arrested him. The DA apparently only charged assault three, which is the DA's job, and then they let him right out. Part of the reason?

They're closing the prison. Rikers is closing. They're going down about 50% in available prisoner beds. It's going to be happening over the next couple of years. Parting gift from the de Blasio administration.

Adams knows it. He's commented on it occasionally. He knows that this is a freight train coming right at the city's safety. Nobody seems to have the political courage to move on it because the base here doesn't want it. Paul Morrow, thanks so much.

Retired NYPD inspector, Fox News contributor, also an attorney. Paul, thank you. Thank you.

Back with a Donald Trump interview in just a moment. Coming to you on a need-to-know basis because Mandy, you need to know. It's Brian Kilmead. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show.

Hey, welcome back, everyone. Thanks so much for listening.

So, yesterday, I live in Massapequa, Long Island. If you don't know, it's a pretty big town, very pro-Trump. It hasn't been very Republican. It's been 50-50, but they just love Trump. There was a Trump raid on Saturday.

You just look out, and there was maybe 50 cars going down with Trump flags. It just so happens, sadly, that's where the police officer who was killed, Diller, lived.

So he went to right by my house, but they said, Brian, if you want to interview the President, and I did, I reached out, they said you'd probably best do it at the airport.

So I went out about 20 miles away and I waited. And we waited till afterwards and And then I talk to him on his plane. And it ends up, it's supposed to be a 10-minute interview, 123 minutes. And we'll have the rest of it on One Nation on Saturday night. But here's the part that I wanted you to hear.

So Mr. President, this is what we got up to today with the New York Post. Primed his life, this officer. taken out with his family. You placed the call call earlier this week.

Why was it important for you to talk to Stephanie? Stephanie's incredible, and they wanted me to be there, and I wanted to be there, and I came in from Florida. And what a family, the Diller family. And uh they lost a A hero, really. I mean, just a hero.

They're devastated. The family is devastated. The police force is. devastated. The whole country feels this way.

And It's happening more and more, and it's really a lack of respect for law and order. And we have to have law and order back in our country, and we're going to. Because this can't happen. The man that did this were arrested, I guess, over 21 times. And uh the person in the car With him, he was likewise had this massive arrest risk, yeah, nickname killer.

They think it's great, they think it's real cool, it's not cool. And what a family I just saw. And what love in that family, just incredible to have.

somebody taken out like that and Ryan, the baby one-year-old, is never going to be the same. I mean, you know, it's. Does it know yet what What the meaning is, but it's uh certainly going to have a big impact. That whole family is just so uh I see it. I see it often.

I see it often, but usually it's for different reasons. This was a brutal murder. Especially, I'm thinking of you growing up in Queens. They're pulled off on a boulevard on the border of Nassau County. You see a guy in a bus in a bus lane just surveilling a building.

And he thinks to himself, Jonathan, I'm going to go find out what's up. And never thinks he's going to get shot in the chest because of that. Not only is he a police officer in the prime of his life, cut down, this guy had 70 collars in three years. He was a. He loved doing the job, and this is a blue blood family.

So blue blood on top of his class. And everything perfect, a beautiful record of doing his job properly. And fairly And this is what happens. It's uh Just so horrible. Jonathan was You know, they say I walk in the top.

He was the top in every respect, top of his class. And this happened to somebody, this should not have happened.

So, in that town, my town. There'll be about 100,000 police officers. They're coming from Texas, they're coming from all around. they'll stand at attention and take over towns like this. What are your thoughts when you see men and women in blue?

show up for someone's funeral they never met.

So when I was leaving, we paid our respects to the Family, most magnificent, beautiful wife, the whole, the grandmother, and the mother, and everybody. Everybody is there but Jonathan. And what a scene. But when I was leaving, we're driving down the road, and it felt like we were driving for miles. and there were men and women in blue.

They were going for such a period of this, I said, that's a lot of people. And it was, maybe you were on that journey with us, I don't know, but I tell you what, that was. Uh it's moving. That was a long blue line indeed. That's respect.

They have respect for this family. They have respect for what? Jonathan meant uh and and to me they're the most brave people. Look It's getting getting worse and worse for police because we're not When at uh taking care of them. We're not allowing them to do their job properly.

If you think about it, The man is arrested 21 times. He's a killer. His nickname, I guess, is killer, or the other one is killer. And when you think about it, this shouldn't be where you... You go up to a car and they shoot you and murder you.

This shouldn't be happening in this country and it shouldn't be happening anywhere. We're going to stop it. It's got to stop. We have to have law and order. And when you have people repeat this isn't a repeat offender, this is ridiculous.

This is far beyond that. And when and Very great violence, too. It's not just 21 times, it's great violence. These people shouldn't be allowed to be anywhere near our society. Right.

I don't know, you couldn't see, but I was watching the monitor. We have to get clear by Secret Service couldn't go to the the van I'll be going over this weekend. And the split screen was President Biden, President Obama, and President Clinton going to a fundraiser at Radio City. You know the logistics. Would it be possible for President Biden to have got to Massapequa and visited the family?

Until within a half an hour, depending on. The mode of travel.

So they have some pretty fast travel. I think that politically he can't support the police. I think he's also making a mistake. But I think politically it is His uh base won't let him support the police. And I support the police.

I would say, at the highest level of any president, by far, maybe double or triple. And they knew that. That's why when I walked into that Uh funeral power it was uh It was like love. It was just. I've seen what happens with others.

Chris James, they boo her out of the place. You saw that last week. They boo her because they know she doesn't stand for law and order. She doesn't stand for. What's good, what's proper, what's good for our country, and he's in the same category.

He's in the exact same category. They want to shy away from it. They didn't even call the family. They could have called. You don't have to.

Be a rocket scientist to know even a call would be perhaps. I'm not sure they'd take his call. All right, I'm really not sure they'll take us forward. Two police commissioners greeted you. That's true.

And I thought Commissioner Gavan said, thank you for coming. He did, and Commissioner Ryder, right there. That's important for you.

Well, it's important for the country. I think it's. It was uh almost affection in both cases because you know they they're there and they're very devastated by by that. And The one from New York City. Came out, and I've known him a little bit, and I think he's doing the best he can.

The restrictions that are put on the police are so incredible. They're protecting the criminal, they're not protecting the police. The criminal has far more protection than a police officer. Police officer Gets rough, as in some cases you have to be, because it's the only thing they understand. And he gets rough, and he ends up losing his house, his pension, his family, he ends up losing everything.

It's crazy what's going on. And that's one thing the president's running on, law and order and the border. Do I have to tell you that? And he wants to get rid of regulation and reassert ourselves, assert our Defense Department. These are things that America is coming around that maybe weren't there in 2020, they're there now.

So when we come back in 15 minutes, next will be John Taffer from Bar Rescue, one of the great guests of our show. What a personality and what a job he's done over there. Because it's a bigger story. It's about small business. And the other thing would be part two of my interview with Donald Trump.

This is the part I get beyond law and order, and I think you'll like it. I was surprised he gave us this much time. Pleased to do it on a plane. Also, I found him extremely confident, subdued. Absolutely.

Just came from awake, likes the people, feels that, feels the anguish. But I just think that he thinks to himself, I'm in a pretty good spot right now, despite the fact that he knows he's got to spend. The middle of April. possibly to the middle of May. In court.

with Alvin Bragg Circus. You listen to the Brian Kilmead Show.

So glad you're here. Make sure you catch me April 27th in Henderson, Nevada. I'll be on stage with History, Liberty, and Laughs. Tickets available on BrianKilmead.com. The great John Taffra's next.

Keep it here. The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead. Hey, we are back, and joining us now is one of the best guests you'll ever have. And we have, and he's a great friend of the show, John Taffer, host of Bar Rescue and author of The Power of Conflict.

The Bar Rescue is back with a brand new season, season nine. And I was watching a marathon over the weekend. In fact, my whole family was. I don't think we knew how to shut off the TV, and no one wanted to. It was so interesting and entertaining and emotional.

It is really small, it's Small Business America and how to fix it. John Taffer, what? Welcome back. Ah, great to be back, bro. I wish I had your energy.

I could rescue some more bars. No, no, you have more energy than me. Are you kidding me? You're hanging out in vans, surveilling small businesses, trying to get them in a candid way. And then you're not only a host, in your head, you're a producer, right?

You're always thinking, how's this going to look? How do I tell this story? Yeah, I'm executive producer of the show. And you know, you're right, Brian. Bar rescue really isn't about bars in the end.

It's about people and it's about the struggles of families. This week, I just rescued a bar. Listen to this story.

So the woman works in a bar, the wife. She has four kids and her husband. The bar becomes for sale. She buys the bar and doesn't tell her husband to surprise him. She then subs subsigns the lease with a personal guarantee, blindfolds her husband, brings him to the bar, says, look what I bought.

He freaks out. He wants nothing to do with this. You didn't want to be in a bar business. He's in the transportation business. Three years later, they're in debt $400,000.

They're about to get divorced. They have four children at home. It's destroyed their lives. And you know it's interesting, Brian, and I say this a lot this year, a failing business and whether it's governmental regulations or whatever causes it to fail, a failing business either breaks your wallet or it breaks your family. And this year in Bar Rescue Brian, I've cried two or three episodes.

I mean, our environment is breaking families. Yeah. These businesses. This is the most emotional season of bar rescue I've ever had, Brian. I've never seen families.

struggling like they are now. And you know, they got past the pandemic, but they came out of the pandemic, not strong, weak. They're behind on rent, a lot of them. They're struggling with employees. Their equipment is old.

They couldn't replace it. There's so many things that they couldn't do. They're struggling. And then look at California, how the minimum wage impact has, restaurants are going to start closing. I have friends that have cut their shifts back.

By thirty percent, forty percent. Rather than as a waitress, rather than serving four tables, you're now serving six. or seven And that's how they're trying to deal with the higher labor rate. But you know, Brian, we're getting squeezed from all sides. And even though you have revenue today, it doesn't mean you're going to be successful because it costs.

I just can't believe it. Anybody who's worked in a restaurant knows you don't wait for the paycheck, it's the tips. When you work in a bar, it's different if you're a cook. But if if when you're in a bar in a restaurant, we don't expect to make minimum wage. Right?

And you can't give them minimum wage. It does the math doesn't add up.

Well, you do like Australia does. You don't tip it all and the service decreases. Yep. You know, years ago I used to have a contract in Minneapolis at the Target Center. My company did all the super suites in the arena.

And you know, in the super suite, you sell burgers 12 at a time, and everything is six or twelve at a time. And we didn't pay our employees tip wages. We paid them at the time, this was many, many years ago, we paid them $10 an hour. And so that they didn't get tips. And then we put a service charge on the check that came back to us.

The employees loved it.

So they made $10 an hour and they still got tipped. because the people in the suite didn't know they were getting paid ten dollars an hour, so they still tipped them as normal. And I charged an eighteen percent gratuity on the check. I ran a negative four percent labor cost. And my employees were thrilled.

You can't do those things today. You know, the funds or the available dollars within the business doesn't exist anymore.

So it's a very challenging time. And I think the next year we're going to see a lot of shakeouts in family businesses. And unfortunately, too many are going to disappear. I want everyone to hear a little of what season nine brings with Bar Rescue. Let's listen to the trailer.

Taffer's back to tackle more bars than ever before.

Now we're getting somewhere. Coaching tough plays for the home team. If I was losing $10,000 a month, I wouldn't be playing pool, man. Sacking bad bar service. You guys got flies in your ball.

When do I have you say that's not gonna work? And drafting a team for when the going gets tough. I want to push us and see where we break. It's time to win big and bar bigger. You both need each other more than ever.

Now let's fix this together. My God. The regulars will love it on Sunday. Being able to carry my team does the dream come true. The team working together.

I am so proud of you guys.

So, yeah, and I'll tell you, I was just watching it again, just listening to it again.

So, you say you get in there and you try to fix some relationships. It's about relationships. But in that bar that you were talking about, that she got the bar and the husband didn't want it. She was in transportation. If you don't mind the mechanics behind it.

They reached out to you. If they gave me that description. I'd say that that's probably one I have to pass on because that doesn't seem fixable because it doesn't seem like they want to be in the business. What did you see? Where did you see hope in that?

But you know, when I see hope, I think of those four kids at home, Brian. And with every episode, I have to be fighting for something.

So in this episode, I'm fighting for a family.

So at the end of the episode, Brian, the husband and wife are hugging each other again. I mean, I made a massive impact upon their family and their future. Those are the ones I run to. And let's say the owner's a jerk. Let's say the owner's a drunken jerk.

I'm fighting for his his or or her spouse at home. I'm fighting for the kids at home. I'm trying to get those kids to college. I see this as not a bar at all. Helping people fix their lives.

And you know, Brian, we were here. You are, though, I mean, there's no doubt about it, you are. Yes. I'm in Youngstown, Ohio last year. We're driving through downtown.

Of course, downtown is decimated. Every store is vacant. And other people see empty stores. I see the families that put their lives into that business and failed. Every one of those stores has a broken and a failed family story attached to it.

And that's what inspires me, Brian. It's powerful. When you see the difference in the way they walk and the way they act and their attitude is better and they have a chance of success now, buddy, that's as good as it gets. Right.

Fellow TV star Kevin O'Leary, who also successful in business before he got into this, saw what was happening with Trump, the way they're going after him and trying to take his wealth away. And they might. And they're going up to the appellate level now after they want to tax him $450 million. He says, forget Trump, forget Biden. This is what the message is being sent.

Cut 33. What are we doing, let alone New York? You don't want to put anything here until this actually settles down. And what people are looking for in the institutional capital where I work, and we're all talking to each other every day, they're saying to each other, when are the adults coming? When will there be adult supervision in this case?

Because these kids have gone crazy at night at a party with no parents around. And they're hurting everything that makes this country great if you're an entrepreneur. I mean, it's just unprecedented. I mean, it's just crazy. And it's got to stop because.

If I were in the White House, this may sound absolutely nuts. I would intervene and say, okay, that's enough. We're telling people all around the world, don't bring your money here because we're just crazy. And it's bad. It used to be the safest place for money, but if you're a Republican or disagree with the administration, you're going to be examined.

They're going to find something on you, and they're going to take it. What do you think about that? I think it's a complete reality. It's scary. Look, you know, I'm a conservative, as you know.

And, you know, I think to myself, what if I went into town and opened up some of my restaurants there and an activist attorney says, you know what, I'm going to take him down. As they've said, you show me the man, I'll find the crime.

So we have activist district attorneys functioning on a political agenda that's destroying the credibility of investing in New York. That's powerful, Brian. And even if I was a Democrat, I would say to myself, or a liberal, I would say to myself, boy, I say the wrong thing, I do the wrong thing, and suddenly I have an activist legal system on me. Look, Elon Musk is incredibly destructive. Elon Musk is incredibly destructive.

They're going after him. Of course. Of course they are because he has a voice and power. And we're seeing now, and look, we've all read it and we've seen it, we're seeing our legal system turn into a weapon. And I'm not quite sure how we stop it, Brian, when the infiltration level is as high as it is.

You know, look, I'm hoping for better days and a more structured and safer environment for everyone. But when the infiltration within every federal department is so great, and we have activists rather than leaders in all of these departments, and activists rather than managers. In all of these departments, this is what we get. And I don't see a way of eradicating everything that's been infiltrated into the system. That's scary to me.

It makes me want to get Taffer's brown butter bourbon and just sit home all day. It's a premium bourbon whiskey with a flavor profile unlike any other. One-year anniversary launched by Bar Rescue. Thanks so much, John Taffer. Go pick up your bourbon and watch Bar Rescue.

Those are your assignments. Thanks, John. The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead. Hi, everyone.

Welcome back. I was lucky enough to go to MacArthur Airport yesterday. If you're not in the New York area, it's a small airport on Long Island. It is about 30 minutes from JFK, being that the president's got a zone 747. Uh he said, Why don't I go to the wake?

of Officer Uh Diller. And then I'll I'll meet you after on my plane. I said, well. Absolutely. Here's part two.

I'm seeing what's happening at Radio City, they expect to raise twenty five million dollars right across from where Fox is. You have three presidents showing up, and the talk is that Barack Obama is talking to Uh the The chief of staff of President Biden, talking to Biden over your day, Bill Clinton, too. Do you feel like you're running against three presidents?

Well, I'm running against uh That I don't really think have a very good understanding of what's going on in our nation. All three? Look, I I don't see anybody Coming to any other conclusion. I don't see anybody condemning the fact that 15 million people have probably that number. I believe it's that number, it might be more than that.

Have entered our country from countries all over the world, and they're coming from prisons and jails, they're coming from. Mental institutions and insane asylum, a step above. They're coming as terrorists. We have many terrorists coming into our country.

So it doesn't matter whether you have three presidents or ten presidents. They don't know what's happening if they're not mentioning it. And they don't talk about it. I can tell you, Obama doesn't talk about it. Nobody else talks about it that I see.

I talk about it. And the reason I talk about you know, we built five hundred and seventy one miles of wall. And we were going which is more than I said I was going to build. And we're going to build an additional two hundred miles of wall, and it would have stopped it even further. We had the best border in history.

Now we have the worst border in history. We have the worst border in the history of the world. There's never been a country ever. Third world, banana republic, There's never been a country that allowed people to pour in like this. I say in rallies they would have used sticks and stones to stop that.

Did you see over the weekend on Sixty Minutes the President of Mexico and says we're not going to shut down our border until you change your policy on Cuba and change your policy on Venezuela? Is it okay for the Mexican President to dictate American policy?

Well, he said much more than that. He said he wants $10 billion essentially just to talk. $10 billion to talk. And that's come out since. And no, that wouldn't happen with me.

I get along great with him. I dealt with him, and you know, he supplied us with. 28,000 soldiers, so that's why we had the best while I was building the channel. A lack of respect for the president. It's very simple: lack of respect for the president.

They would never say that to me. They would never say, before we even talk, they want $10 billion a year. Mexico just asked for $10 billion a year. They would never ask that. I wouldn't give them 10 cents.

They know that. They'll end up paying us $10 billion a year before that would happen. No, it's a lack of respect for our president, lack of respect for our country, but the country's led by a man who Can't put two sentences together. And you know, they're raising money, they always raise money, they always raise more money. We do fine.

We don't need you don't need to. Does it worry you how much money he's raising and that you're you're refiguring out the RNC at this point? No, I think we're doing great with the RNC and we have Plenty of money. We're doing very well. We're going to announce numbers that are record-setting numbers in a week or so.

Uh we have The R and C is uh reconstitute it just because we wanted to make a change. But we're doing tremendously well. We're raising a lot of money. We're going to announce, I think, the biggest numbers that we've ever raised. Speaking of big numbers, Truth Social is going through the roof.

It's worth billions of dollars, and it's not looking you're not looking to cash in, I don't think, but it's you probably got an extra five billion dollars in your checking account. What does that mean to you? How did this happen?

Well, truth has been amazing. It gave me a voice, you know, and I was feminated from. Twitter, it was vicious. I I had more than I think any other person had, and all of a sudden I didn't have a voice. And uh that happened also with uh some other people with a certain viewpoint and it shouldn't happen.

And I think we're probably in the majority actually, if you want to know the truth. But they terminated I mean, I opened I started working on something, a platform that's really great and it's true social and It's in the process of being public and now it's public. And the stock has gone through the roof, and really, this is. I I think in the true sense, this is really a It's a great sign of where the people in this country stand. It's almost like a poll.

But you see how hot it is. It's one of the hottest stocks that anybody's ever seen. And I'm very honored by that. But you know what, I view it as a poll, and I call it the voice. It's the voice of America.

It's my voice. I happen to be the leading candidate, including I don't know if you've seen the numbers with Biden, but the numbers are Way above Biden, and people aren't going to stop. What numbers are? Do you mean followers? The polls.

Oh, the polls.

Okay. Followers, too, actually. But the polls are way above Biden, we had Your Fox just came out with a good one, but we have some that are 11 and 12 points up. And you would think that frankly, it would be much more of a friend who's a Democrat. He says, I can't understand why you're not winning by forty or fifty points.

Well, it doesn't work that way because you have certain groups of people that always vote a certain way. But we're leading by a lot. And uh people want Justice in this country, they want law and order in this country, they have to have law and order in the country, they want to have. Strong borders, and they have to have, look at the taxes, they want to double and triple and quadruple the taxes. They don't want that.

And you know what we did with the military, we defeated ISIS, and then we didn't have any wars. And we were respected all over the world. We gave you the largest tax cuts in history. You're paying a lot less. But we gave you the largest tax cuts larger than the Ronald Reagan tax cuts, and we gave you the largest tax cuts.

But they evaporate in 2025.

So if you don't win, they're gone.

Well, if I don't win, that means your taxes are going to go up. Fourfold. Right.

Fourfold. RFK announced the running mate this week, 35-year-old from the tech center. seems to be very progressive. They put it mildly. To put all three of you together, it widens your lead right now.

How do you view RFK and his new running mate?

Well, I've always liked him and I've known him actually for a long time. I've liked him. He's a very liberal guy. He's probably the most liberal person in the race, including the Green Party. And uh so I think he's probably going to hurt Biden.

I don't see him hurting me. Our people are.

Solid. We have a very, very solid core, and I think that core is 60%.

So RFK hurts him more? I think so, yeah, I think so. He's very, very. He's ultra liberal. Or ultra-progressive, as they'd rather have.

They don't like the word liberal anymore. You're supposed to use. progressive, so therefore I'll probably use liberal. But he's a very uh He's a very far left person. Very, very.

I think the most. In the race, a lot of people were thinking, well, maybe he's going to hurt Trump. I don't see it. Once they see his record, they're going to understand how far left he is. He's a radical.

Left person, and again, I've known him for a long time, I understand him. I like them, I get along with them. But that's his inclination. His running mate is. makes him look like a baby in terms of being left.

His she is really left. But she also has enough money from her husband that she can help him finance a campaign.

So he's talking about that. That is part two of my interview with Donald Trump. The president, his lead grows from 5-2 to 6-0 in Arizona with RFK in the race. It goes in Georgia from 5-2 to 7-4. In Nevada, from 3-0 to 6-0.

In North Carolina, two points, 4-4 to 6-7. In Pennsylvania, 0.2 lead to a 2.0 lead. And then even in Wisconsin, from 0.8 to 2.7 on the real clear average. Michigan's a little dicey. October, excuse me, April 27th.

I want to see everyone for the History, Liberty, and Last Tour in Henderson, Nevada, BriankilMe.com, V-I-P-E-P-A opportunities, a night like no other. Who are different? From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City. Always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmead.

Hi, boy, Brian Kilmead here. Thanks so much for listening all week long. We come to you from Midtown Manhattan, where just hours ago, diagonally across the street, Radio City Music Hall, a party I was not invited to because I couldn't afford it. Minimum ticket price, $250. You want a picture.

With all three former pres Democratic former presidents, $100,000. And people altogether, when the money was counted at the end, mostly in singles, it was $26 million earned by Earned by the President of the United States for his super PAC.

Now, But I think it's just contrasting, and we did the contrasting. At the same time, there was a wake for a fallen police officer killed by a career criminal who's killed before. He I'm talking about. A Jonathan Tiller. His wake was yesterday, and you had former President Trump who went there on his own dime, took his 747 to MacArthur Airport.

And then took his SUV. to Massapequa Long Island, and then he spent his afternoon There. And went back and we had a chance to talk to him, and we'll play some clips of that. Shannon Bream joins us now, anchor of Fox News Sunday, Fox News' chief legal correspondent, author of The Love Stories of the Bible Speak and this Perfect Timing as this is Good Friday and then Easter coming up.

So I know this is well, Good Friday is the time a lot of people take off. You didn't take off. Yeah, you know what? For me, I always think about that every year, but you know, for me, my faith is an everyday thing. And Good Friday, I am busy.

I think I'll get back to D.C. in time tonight to go to Good Friday services at my church. Right.

I have agreed to an on-camera confession with the Cardinal. Let's hear it. No, no, the confession. That could take a while. When was the last time you did this?

I'm not Catholic, but I. You know what Catholics do. I do, but that's why I'm thinking you may need a Snickers because I don't know when's the last time you did this.

So Cardinal came on today. I know. I love him. Right.

Oh, he's the greatest guy. How great a Pope would he have been? I listen, I vote for that. My vote doesn't count for anything since I'm not Catholic, but he's so genuine, good with people, so just has this sweetness of faith about him, and he's funny. I love him.

This is what I think, though. And tell me if this is disparaging him. I think that he's like, listen, I'm going to advise people. I'm going to live a great life. I'm going to try to get to this position he did.

But it's up to you. You know, you want to go rob a store, you can go rob a store. I'm not going to sweat it. You don't want to go to church, you're not going to go to church. I'm not mad at you.

So he's not out looking for retribution for people that break a commandment or twist the book of Job. And I think that's how Jesus operated too. He was here to say, I'm here to redeem you, not to condemn you. You know, and he showed up to people that were unloved, that were on the fringes of society, that were caught in really bad situations. And sometimes he was their only friend.

I love that. I asked Colonel Dolan, too, off camera. Why didn't I ask him on camera? What do you think of these prayer apps? Oh yeah.

And he said, What's bad about it? I love it. And I go, the only thing some people have pointed out is, no, there's nothing bad about it, but it is money to the app store. Yeah, but if anything that's encouraging people to think about spirituality and stop in their day, my goodness, couldn't we use that? This world is a terrible place.

So to me, it's like, even if you stop for a moment to pause and pray for yourself or for other people, your family, it's a good thing. Do you think the world is a terrible place? Inherently, yeah. I do think it's fallen and it's a mess. But then I think that's why people of faith, all of us are called to like be out there, serve other people, help where you can, and live out your faith.

See, there are some complex times in Middle World World War II. I mean, I don't know how we end this war. That's so complex. All of our problems seem so fixable. They almost seem self-inflicted.

Well, I think it's a good thing. It's like, really, you got drunk and you drove and you're wondering why you went to jail. If you stop drinking, you realize you're not going to go to jail again? Yeah. If you fix that border, you realize you're going to help a lot.

Do you realize if you just enforce crime, do you realize how much normal our lives will be?

Well, when you talk about self-inflicted, though, I think that there are people and organizations who benefit from division and from problems going unsolved. And you could point that finger at wherever you want to point it, but there are people who actually gain power, they gain following, they gain money, donations, whatever it is, by focusing on problems rather than solutions. I'll give you an example. When we had the good old days, healthcare. Hmm.

We have this great system, we don't have to pay for it, and how we handle escalating prices. And I have an idea: single payer.

Well, that's not going to be good.

Well, look at Canada and England.

Well, that doesn't work.

Well, where does it work? Communist countries, everybody gets everything.

Well, okay. You want to go to Cuba?

So we had this debate. That's kind of complex to solve healthcare. But the stuff that we're blowing, we are screwing up ourselves. I mean, it just is just insane to me, some of the things that we're doing. And I get these people that don't do what we do every day saying, Where's the logic?

Where's the logic? Why would you spend all these taxpayer dollars to house now 67,000 people? Why would you give them debit cards? What does that say about what's going on here today?

So. If we start doing things in forcing the border, we get that taxpayer dollars back, give people school choice, why wouldn't you have competition in schools the way we have competition in other things? I don't know. I could I s I see fixable. I do too.

Maybe you should run for president. Hmm. I mean, it's not too late. RFK Jr. is only on the wrong time to run, right?

RFK Jr. is only on one state ballot.

So, you know, you both can run after the other 49.

So he's got Utah. He's got Utah. We start right now. We can get you on some ballots. Are you going to save your powder and keep it dry for 20 years?

We just got on in Richmond. This would be the wrong time. Hi, Richmond. Right.

So that would be, you know, I have more of a commitment unless I become president.

Well, the thing is, maybe I'll lose.

So if I lose, I'll go back to the run to 28. This will just be a name recognition ID building run for you. This first one. Before I go any, I hate when I jam in it. Who's on your show?

We have got Senator Rick Scott just back from hanging out with Netanyahu. Bibi's not real happy and, you know, with President Biden. President Biden's not really happy with him.

So we'll talk about the very frank conversations they had. Also, Congressman Roe Conna, Democrat out of California. Biden surrogate. We're going to talk about the tough new polls we have out this week and how the president plans to overcome them.

So the president yesterday went to the wake, and I tried to talk to him about the president. Meeting the former president. Sure, the form front yeah, the current no, yeah, 'cause they're both here in New York for a different reasons.

Well, what were you thinking when you saw that split screen?

Well, listen, I hate to say that campaigns are so expensive, and it's a billion dollars to run for president, so it's got to happen. But when you're that close to something that heartbreaking, you feel like you call the family, you ask if you can stop in. I mean, it's very doable. Yes, there are security issues, but if you do it for one president, you could do it for another one. Lincoln Riley, isn't the same pattern?

Had to be yelled at by Marjorie Taylor Greene inappropriately screaming out from the galley, and he goes, gets the name wrong, whatever. But why is it the Consoler in Chief is having trouble doing simple things? And I was just saying that I'm sure Bill Clinton would have served the drinks and Barack Obama would have worked the door if President Biden said, Hey, you mind? I got this thing in Massapequa. It's a big deal.

And I want to send the right message. Instead, he told the mayor to express his condolences to the family. Yeah, that that felt really, um Insensitive in a way to me, 'cause you know, like, you don't want that going third hand. Call the family.

So here, Bruce Blakeman, the Nassau County executive with the president, former president yesterday, cut three. President Trump was a source of comfort. to the family. He spent over ten minutes with Stephanie, the widow, in private. And then he went out into the main hall where the casket was laid and where Police Officer Dillard's body was laid.

And he and Stephanie prayed together. They talked about what a great guy Jonathan was. And then President Trump went to each member of the family, and offered his condolences, And the family asked him to sign a mask card. He sat down. Sign the mask card.

And then he got up And then police officer Diller's grandmother, Ask the President. for a hug. and he embraced her and held her very tightly.

So that's the play by play.

So the President says, oh, that was private. I don't think he's I don't know if he's mad at Bruce Blakeman for saying that. But when you see politic politicians, I know you might it's easy to be cynical. The fact that President Biden Trump missed Did not take that opportunity to say the grandmother asked for a hug that would have increased the compassion, but he could have. But I think it also to him is like that was private.

Yeah. What's so interesting to me, and we've all debated this for years, this is a man who truly is a billionaire. He flies around in a private humongous jet. I mean, he's got homes and estates all over the world, and yet everyday Americans feel like he sees them. He gets them.

I mean, the people that were there in uniform, they love him. It's in contrast to the FDNY a couple of weeks ago with A.G. Letitia James. She shows up. She's getting booed.

You know, these people are told they're going to be in trouble for chanting Trump and being rude to her is at the time and place. You can debate that. But for whatever reason, Trump connects with everyday Americans who feel like he's fighting for me. He gets me. And that's certainly the feeling among most of the people that I ever talked to in law enforcement.

Right.

And you know what's so interesting is Paul Morrow said, I said, you know, what's going on with law enforcement? Why isn't it to their advantage to lock these people up? And he said, there's no room. I said, what are you talking about? He goes, in the middle of building borough prisons and closing Rikers, so they have half the beds.

So I don't know if you saw one of those women that was on TikTok that got her face caved in. Do you know they found the guy and they let the guy out? Because how do you explain that to women walking these streets? How do you explain that to me? How would you feel about it?

To my coworkers, I mean, that are females that have to watch. I've seen you walking the streets in New York when you're doing your book. Remember, I saw you. Oh, yeah.

So that would be a good idea. I don't want somebody punching me in the head. Right.

I want one point of reference. It's a distraction. Don't be looking at your phone when you're walking. Exactly. And you got to think about having your earbuds in and everything else.

When I'm here, I don't do any of that stuff. And my my husband has for forbade me to ride the subway, which is my favorite way to get around. To me, it's the quickest way to get around New York. But he's just like, if I'm not with you, I don't want you to ride the subway. Right.

What about me? If I go with you? Um, I'm gonna need to see the muscles. We're gonna do a push-up contest and then we will see whether but here's the thing too, in New York, a lot of things that women would use to for self-defense, a lot of that stuff is not legal for them to have in New York.

So, you know, we are stripped away with some of the things that we could use to try to protect ourselves. I mean, you know, there are all kinds of things out there. You could go down the list, but if you're a law-abiding female, it's really tough to get your hands on some of that.

So there's no doubt about it. Trump is at a deficit when it comes to fundraising. A lot of the money is going to his cases, and a lot of people say, I'm fine with that because it's political. And he has pointed out that Mr. Colangelo, Matt Colangelo, was with the Biden Justice Department and now is heading up the case for Alvin Bragg.

And a lot of people think reinvigorated the case when he arrived.

So he looked at that and the fact that Nathan Wade had two meetings with White House counsel in Athens, Georgia. He says, These are your links. He's gotten in trouble by bringing up Matt Colangelo these days.

So having said that, The president's out of deficit. He's a one-man army. He's going against three presidents. Here's what Ari Fleischer said about that, cut 18. Get ready, Republicans.

You are going to get outfundraised all year long. The fact of the matter is: well, the Democrats have become the party of the rich. The Democrats actually defeat Republicans now among those who earn more than $100,000 a year. Those are now Democratic voters. They used to be Republican, now they're overwhelmingly Democratic voters.

And when you look at all the different labor unions, service employee unions, the infrastructure of the Democratic Party, the super PACs, not to mention the event tonight. Across the board, the Democrats, because of their rich contributors, are going to outraise Republicans. Republicans are going to have to work real hard, and it's a wake-up shot, a warning to anybody who wants Republicans to win, that they're going to have to contribute, they're going to have to work hard, because the Democrats hold the cards, they've got the advantage. I don't think there's anything that's disputable there, but. The quest is pressure on Larry Trump.

Well, Rick Trump has got to get this up thing for it's got to be a running start. Where are they at right now, and what is the buzz in Washington about how Lara Trump is doing?

Well, I mean, they're down. When you look at the numbers, the super PACs and the campaigns, what they've got head-to-head, Biden versus Trump, there's a real deficit for Trump. And like you said, many of his donors that we'll talk to, they acknowledge that the money is going to legal cases, and they are okay with that. They feel like that's part of the campaign. It's a campaign expense, essentially.

She's got a lot of pressure on her.

Now, you and I have known her over the years, whether you like President Trump or don't, she's very sharp as an individual. She's very smart. She's a very effective speaker.

So we'll see how she is on fundraising, but there's some ground to make up there.

Now, of course, the former president has talked too about I would spend some of my own money on this. I mean, he's got a new influx with Truth Social and those things being traded now.

So we'll see if he feels the need to bring in some of his own personal wealth at that point. Yeah, you know, the funny thing is, so when she marries Eric, she's like, okay, I'll be in the spotlight. Her dad's hosted The Apprentice. But sooner or later, those reality shows fade and I'll live a normal life. No, you're not.

Don't do much. No, there's no. There's no time for a nap. Right.

It's not happening.

So RFK Jr. is in the race. I think the 35-year-old who we named Miss Shanahan. Nicole. Is by all standards a left-winger, extremely progressive.

That helps Trump because no longer can you say RFK is straddling the line between the two. The old liberal environmentalist, now the guy that wants to enforce the border. This really helps the Republicans right now. How hard are they going to come at him? I think that they will, and I think that Trump is already, you know, really trying to paint him as far left, as radical, as much as he can, because people who are sort of like RFK are curious, you know, I mean, that they're willing to kind of sniff around and give him a look because maybe they like some of Trump's policies, but they don't like Jay Six and they don't know what went down.

He's trying to tell them this is not your guy. If you like me and my policies, we may line up on two or three big things, but for the majority of RFK Jr.'s record and now his VP, Nicole Shanahan, they're not in Trump territory on most things. And you saw the polls that when RFK's in, Trump's lead lengthens.

So we'll see where that goes because I don't know if you've noticed, but Republicans, Democrats tend to be kind of vicious. I haven't really picked the. If I've been reading between the lines, this Alvin Bragg case, if you were, from what you could tell, and this would be your last question. Um I promise. Then we're going to convene for lunch.

Okay, good. I call it brunch at this point. Oh, wait.

Okay. Is that okay? On the RFK question. No, no. On the Alvin Bragg case.

Yes, yeah, yeah. Coming up in April. Coming up in April. What should Trump worry about most that stands out in this case from the legal perspective that says, well, he's got to have an answer for this? I would say the jury.

I think in New York, that's his biggest problem because this is, by most accounts, the weakest case. And that's coming for people across the political and legal spectrum. They really feel like, right, that this is going to be a really, they're trying to shoehorn something in that's going to be difficult for the jury to understand. But the jury is his biggest problem. I mean, obviously, he's going to get treated differently by a New York City jury than he is in other parts of the world.

Probably Florida, Mar-a-Lago, all of that stuff will be viewed maybe differently by a jury there. Yeah. So I think that jury is his biggest problem here. But again, the theory that they're putting together is so novel and complex that regular jurors may check out and say, like, this is just too much of a leap. We'll see.

And then you he would have uh you thought it helped to get on the ballot in Colorado and Maine. This would be a a big jet propulsion for his campaign if he's able to beat it. But it'll take at least six weeks. Jen and Bream, we can't wait to watch Fox News Sunday. Is that okay?

Okay, but first Saturday night? Oh, Saturday night. You have a show, did you know that? One Nation. Saturday night.

Under God. It's divisible. Are you mocking the nation? No, no, I love it. Thank you.

I love it. Thank you.

Which, by the way, we should probably start with the National Show. You should do a pledge every night. We should. 9 o'clock Saturday, including President Trump. I'll see you there.

Back in a moment. Want even more, Brian? Download the podcast at BrianKillMeatShow.com every episode. Exclusive interviews on demand. More of Kill Mead coming up.

He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Killmead. Trump is really the worst in crisis, because in crisis, he still can't turn it off and just do that sort of like. Calming price. He's still like, I called me.

What are you doing, baby? What are you doing? It's terrible. Like, if Trump was your therapist, you know, oh, it sounds terrible. That's a lot of trauma.

A lot of trauma. I know how to treat trauma. That's terrible what happened to you. You don't want to see me? I have millions and billions of patients that love me.

You don't have to come and see me. Pop a pill, feel a little better, and call me in the morning. That is so funny. That's our guest, right? Yes, that's Ami Kozak.

He's coming up at 45 after the hour. You know, it's just good to hear a Trump impression without anger. I mean, it's factually true. He doesn't have anger. It's funny.

No, he's excellent.

So we're going to play part three of your Trump interview next segment. And then at the end of that, maybe prior to Ami coming in, he actually does a very funny one about how Trump segues so awkwardly, yep, beautifully in interviews, how he's talking about like a hamburger, and then I'll go to like Netanyahu. And he does a very good impersonation of that.

So yesterday's, how weird is this? Is there's a legendary burger place. In Massapeua, called All-American. And Danny, who's his field operations guy, says, you go into Mass Piqua. He doesn't know I'm from Mespequa.

You go into Mespequa, I got a surprise for the president. He goes, All-American burger, the best. And I see all the bags lined up on the plane. I can't wait to talk to the president about how great was it compared to the Whopper or McDonald's. But the kicker, have you had one?

Because you don't eat meat. I have the tuna. Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Hey, welcome back, everybody.

In about 15 minutes, got an outstanding comedian, Ami Kozak. He's going to be with us. But right now, here is part three of my interview with Donald Trump. He had 21 quality minutes on his plane. We're going to have more of this.

More of this on One Nation Saturday night at 9 p.m. Eastern. Let's listen. For five weeks, it looks like they say you're going to be stuck in a courtroom four days a week. Yeah, yeah.

This is all. How do you overcome that? How do you overcome not being out there and not being on the stump, the campaign trail, doing interviews like this?

Well, it's a shame that it has to take place. This is, again, third world country stuff, whether it's borders or whether it's this they've weaponized the Department of Justice, they've weaponized the FBI, they raided my house. They find nothing. Look how well I'm doing. And the people understand it.

Look at what's going on. I have Fanny, well, Fanny, or Fanny, as she likes to be called. Georgia That's a scam. We have the D.A. Bragg.

That's a scam. Everybody says you read the people that you have, Jonathan Turley. McCarthy and all the good people that you have won, they say this is a case that shouldn't be brought, it's not even a crime. And it all comes out of the White House. It all comes out.

They have a January 6th case, which is a scam. The whole thing is a terrible thing. They've never done it before in this country. It's done. In fact, it's done a lot, but it's always in third world countries.

It now has hit the United States. And I'll tell you. It's the biggest lead I've ever had in polls. I'm leading by so much. I don't believe I'd be leading by that much without it.

People see what's happening. And it's the only thing he has going. His policies are horrible. He's an incompetent man. He's the worst president in the history of our country by far.

He's a corrupt person. He's a totally corrupt person. The only thing they can do is prosecute me, and I find that Every single day I go into court, I end up doing better because there are scams, and the good thing is. through you and through Your friends at Fox and others. Uh I have a voice.

And when I explain it to people, they understand it. Oh, you have to explain it. But when I explain it to people, they understand it. When I went to Georgia and I did that mug shot, People got it right away. This whole thing is a political circus, and what it really is is election interference.

They want to disturb, just like you say, you spend time in court. But, you know, you spend time in court, but you also get the word out pretty good during intermissions and other times. But it's a very unfair situation, and I'm honored. I'll tell you what, every time they do this, In a way I'm honored because I'm doing it for the American people. You have a situation now where you have to have $175 million in eight days.

Can you do it? Sure, I can. See, they are looking to prosecute Danny Penny, the Marine. Who put that? suspect in a uh chokehold.

Uh submission hold. And he saved a lot of people on that. And also, they put your CFO at Rikers Island. I would imagine for doing nothing. Compare.

Look at the crime. You have murderers, you have killers, you have... They when I went to court with Bragg, They had eight prosecutors in court over what McCarthy, Turley, and every other legalist have virtually ever said He did nothing wrong, right? And yet you have people getting murdered on the street and nothing happens to them. What a shame.

What's going on here? What a shame. What is the message to the Presidents at Radio City right now? Before you leave New York and go back to Florida, What did they miss today?

Well, they missed a very sad moment for our country, but it's a moment that they have to be a part of, whether they like it or not. They can't skip this moment. I've never seen so many police. I've never seen so many firemen, a lot of firemen. They view it in a very similar way, and I understand that.

But they're going to have to get involved a little bit because this country is going to hell. Our country is not respected anymore. We're really I say it in my rallies and my speeches, we're a nation in decline. We are a nation unfixable. But totally fixable, but we have to do it fast.

Tell you what. The most important day in the history of our country is going to be November fifth. That's Election Day. It's going to be November fifth. That is the most important period of time.

It's the most important day in the history of our country. Our country is going bad. And it's going to be changed on November 5th. And if it's not changed, we're not going to have a country anymore. And my very last question: if both of you just represent your own parties, it's not going to be enough.

You have to get the middle, the independence, the undecided. What is the Trump plan to get the Independence Undecided? I think I have the Independence. I think it's. False stuff.

I did very well in the first election, 2016. I did even better in the second election by millions and millions of votes. And yet, I have not seen the kind of spirit. that I have right now just driving through the Streets of an area that you grew up in. The people are going wild and they want something.

You know, this is an election where you really have two. people I ran it for four, he ran it for four, and people love when I ran it for four. They have a nice, simple choice. Right now, we have a porous country, we have a country that's going to hell, we have a country that's a crime-ridden mess. And I'll tell you something: when you take a look at what the migrants are doing, we have a new category of crime, it's called migrant crime.

They call them newcomers. Yeah, they want to call them newcomers. That's true. They do want to call them newcomers. It's called migrant crime, and it's vicious, violent crime.

Add that to where it was before, and you get yourself a big mess. Uh we people want safety. They want low taxes. They want good education. They want a strong military.

They want to have a country that's respected all over the world. We're left at all over the world. We have a guy can't walk up a flight of stairs or down a flight of stairs. Literally, he can't put two sentences together. We need to be respected as a country.

When Mexico says we want ten billion dollars a year just to talk, They would never say that to me, Brian, I tell you. Best decision you made, going to All-American. You're about to have it in Massapequa, a burger place. I understand your people bought you All-American in Massapequa.

So for that, I think you're going to be happy on the exit. That's what I've heard. Great to see you. Thank you, Mr. President.

Thank you very much. Thank you so much for the time. Thank you very much. So that was President Trump, who I met with on the plane, on his plane. Then he took off afterwards.

He seemed relatively upbeat for a guy that's got three cases that are taking a lot of his time. He's got teams of lawyers around him. He has got a reelection campaign that's getting up to gear at an RNC that needs direction. Even though you might think Larry Trump's going to do a great job, I'm one of them that thinks he will. I think the other, she has respect.

She's strong. She's smart. Also, another thing. You saw what happened with Rona McDaniel and the way NBC had their talent rise up and pushed down at their management, and their management actually apologized.

Now it looks like the current RNC is looking to get back and maybe will bar NBC from their Republican National Convention. Because how unfair they are, how disrespectful they clearly were to the former chairperson. And I just think it's absolutely terrible what happened. But I actually am not in support of this. To me, if you leave NBC out, it's another reason to fracture the country and then not give it proper due.

For the conventions, let them show up. I'd rather people be disparaging than ignore, because a lot of people are going to see through it and they understand what being strong on the border is not anti-Hispanic. Being for law enforcement is not against minorities. Understand that you could be for building up defense but not be a war hawk.

So all those things and all those themes will be certainly important.

So I just think that that what they did to Rhonda McDaniel, it's so ridiculous. I also think in the big picture, it's not like there's a union organization rising up against management because steel workers are being abusive. I think you're looking at a situation with that is just platout bias. How you could not welcome her on every round table is nuts, especially after a hard interview. But where we're at right now, I think the party understands.

The Democratic Party, even though the president, they say, has got a little bit of momentum since the State of the Union address, the party. Needs Direction And they're going to try to get it from two past presidents. Here's Ben Dominich, cut seventeen. That progressive flank that you mentioned, that's a real problem for them, and it's one that they're very scared of. You can see it in the images that you see out there in the streets.

These are not people who are going to be won back easily, and it's why this White House has been tying itself in knots over the Israel issue over the past several weeks in ways that have put them in impossible situations, really, because they are saying one thing publicly, one thing behind the scenes. John Kirby is trying to spin on their behalf. And I don't think that it's actually working. I think they really are putting themselves in a bad position. It's going to be Barack Obama that's going to be on the campaign trail doing it.

They have come out and said this, and this is stunning. We will not be doing money. These are reports from inside the campaign. Joe Biden won't be doing many national interviews. He's done very few anyway, almost none.

And he does some major blunders when you talk about Afghanistan saying I'm not going to leave until everyone's out of there. No general ever told me that things could fall apart like this. The stories that he makes up that aren't verified, the way he said handles the court cases now that we know about Hunter Biden, they think they're going to get away with long-friendly podcasts. And doing local media.

However, you did see how bad local media got. When we come back, we're going to be joined by a special guest, Ami Kozak, comedian and musician, Don't Move. It's Brian Killmead. From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmead. Hey, welcome back, everybody.

Thanks so much for being here all week long, not just today. We got a special guest with us now. He's not doing comedy today, this afternoon, so we're able to book him. Ami Kozak is here. Ami, great to see you.

Great to see you, Brian. Thanks for having me.

So, if you were just telling me, you got this rich musical background, and then COVID hits, and you say, listen. It's pretty funny. Maybe I could do some videos. What what did it turn into?

Well, basically, yeah, I came from the music world. I still am an active musician and composer, producer. I play in a band called Distant Cousins, and we do original music. And the world of music sort of has a formula to it, a curriculum, so to speak. You know, you learn music, you can go to school for music, you study music.

And in the world of comedy, it was sort of like this neglected child of mine. I wasn't giving a lot of attention professionally. But people have told you how funny you are. I was always doing impressions. I come from like, you know, Orthodox Jewish family.

We used to go to the Borschpeld Cat Skills growing up, and I was always entertaining their friends. Amy, do such and such. Do Dr. Schwarzbaum. He does a great Dr.

Schwarzbaum. You know, get on the coffee table and entertain.

So I always had a passion for it. And then once I started utilizing social media as an outlet for my comedy, I was able to build an audience organically.

So, for example, with Trump, Trump amazes you in so many ways, including his transitions. Unbelievable. I got to say, people underestimate him. That's always been the downfall of the Trump detractor: they underestimate his skills. He is the master of segues.

In some ways, but yet sometimes they seem awkward. I cracked the code the other day. I realized he can take any subject, any two subjects completely unrelated, and with two magical phrases, he can connect the two. And those two phrases are, and other things too. You know you look at.

And other things too, you know you look at.

So it'll be like, Yeah, it's terrible what's going on in Israel. Terrible, terrible situation. They gotta they gotta take care of it. They gotta take care of Hamas and other things too. You know, you look at Ukraine.

And other things too, you know, Ukraine is totally it's a total disaster. It never would have happened if I was president. And other things too, you know, you look at China. And other things too, you know, I had a leak in my bathroom, it was terrible. Leaks coming down, leaks to the press, Trump's stream of consciousness, and other things too.

You know, you look at Melania, she's great. You look at so many things and other things too. You know, you look at pedophilia, it's a real problem. Hollywood, disgusting. You know, you look at other things too, and other things, too.

You know, you look at sitting at a desk, so many desks manufactured in China, the prices are terrible, and other things, too. It just keeps going. It just keeps going. And you know, it's true that you got to keep up with him. And you say yourself, you'd like to do a follow-up question, but to which part of it?

Well, you know, you look at so many things and other things too. You know, what's so funny is to hear somebody do Trump without the anger. Alec Boldhun did him angry. Yeah. We used to used to like to laugh at people.

It makes it fun. Dana Carvey, funny with push 41. Will Farrell, funny with 43. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, you know, this funny thing with Trump is there's like so many different kinds of Trump impressions. There's like everybody kind of cracks a different angle of it. And there's one impression of Trump nobody does. I think I'm the only one who does it. That's teleprompter Trump.

And teleprompter Trump is a very different Trump. It's much more sensual. You know, he gets up there in front of a big audience and he goes. We're gonna do Amazing things For America Ha ha ha. The radical left is captured.

Most of our major institutions, we're not going to let that happen. To America. Ooh ooh ooh So good So bigly so strongly So good. We are going to issue an executive order officially recognizing two genders. Biological men and biological women, beautiful biological women.

There's so many. There's so many beautiful biological women. It's much slower, much more sensual. When I become President, everybody gets a free Melania. Ooh, for America.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Teleprompt to Trump. Teleprompt to Trump. Is that how you do it on stage? I do a teleprompter Trump. I do the Trump segues.

And then I have to drive the criteria. As funny as that is, there are people that don't even want to laugh about Trump. I can't tell you. No, the haters. Especially in New York City.

Yeah, listen, the haters love to laugh at a Trump impression. The lovers love to laugh at a Trump impression.

So it's kind of foolproof for a comedy base. Right, but how do you let your positions on politics get out of the way? When you're doing stand-up, I mean, you always have a bit of an angle just for being yourself, but it's funny is the. Is the goal, funny is the agenda, you know?

So You know, to get too preachy on stage, I always find that at the end of the day, for me, it's about making everybody laugh, which is a great unifier.

So it's always fun when a room of people who hate him can still laugh, and a root of peop room of people who love him can laugh as well.

So, Ami, should I do? The great unifier in the stand-up comedy club. I have the best words. That's why it works. Right.

Stable genius. Yeah. By the way, isn't that the funniest phrase? Underappreciated. Under.

Stable genius. So underappreciated. Depreciation. Real estate. Stream of consciousness.

Fantastic. Right.

So, Ami, should I play your Netanyahu impression presentation? Whatever you want to do. Or can I have it here? You want it here? You want it in person?

Baby, Netanyahu, of course. Listen, I disagree with the premise of your question, but we're going to finish this war. And whatever President Biden is thinking, we agree that we must eliminate Hamas. And we are not going to sacrifice our children, even though our enemies are willing to sacrifice theirs. That is baby.

We need Bibi. You know why? Because he's the only Israeli politician who speaks English. That's age of America. Honestly, no, I say this to audiences all the time.

I know that BB right now is, of course, as unpopular as ever. Being responsible for the greatest security failure in Israel's history, but we're still going to need him in Israeli politics at some point, in some way, no matter what, because he speaks English. Have you lived in Israel? No. I lived there for a year after high school, yes.

Would you ever live there again? You know, I have family there. It's amazing. I think it gets this perception as a. Understandably, as this war zone, dangerous place, but if you go there, it's a thriving Western liberal democracy.

But they have backed off on the north, right? Because of Hezbollah?

Well, they've disappeared. They replaced tens of thousands. Yeah, yeah. I mean, from yes, I mean, listen, in a time of war, I think people have this notion of Israel that it's always in a state of war. Right now, it actually is.

So that's understandable. And yes, I mean, right now it has things it has to deal with, and it has existential threats on all of its borders. But in general, I think a lot of people who've never been would be surprised to find a place that's very familiar to them. And you do. You see these Palestinian protests and you're outraged, as am I, and he's pro-Hamasad.

Here is but what did you feel about this, the most powerful Jewish politician in history, Chuck Schumer, cut thirty seven? The former president's comments were utterly disgusting. And a textbook example of the kind of anti-Semitism facing Jews, pushing the dangerous anti-Semitism trope. of dual loyalty. To say you hate Israel or your religion because you have one political view over the other is sick.

It's hateful. And Trump had said this: Cut 37. I actually think they hate Israel. Yes. I don't think they hate Israel.

I think they hate Israel. And the Democrat Party hates Israel.

So that ticked off his humor. He says, you know, the Republicans are backing up Israel, hell or high water, and Democrats only 43% back Israel in retaliation for October 16th. I think they hate themselves and they hate Israel. They really just hate themselves. If you're a Jew and you support a Democrat, you should be ashamed of yourself.

I mean, yeah, he's inartful, but he speaks to something kind of resonant. I think the idea I mean, Chuck Schumer has this kind of vibe of a guy who's just told Price, he said to have an election. I mean, he he's I feel like he's not in Congress. He's like in the back of my synagogue at the kiddish, just like talking to people. It's like, you know, I call on Netanyahu to resign as Chuck Schumer.

He just has that sort of very typical, like one of my dad's friends who disagrees on everything. But I think that with. You know, I Everybody, a lot of people like to point to, like, sort of in solidarity with people who are critical of Israel. They point to Netanyahu, they point to settlements. They're like, that's a problem, too.

It's marginal compared to the actual problem. How do we find you, Amy? At AJ-Comedy at Amikozek Official on Instagram, on YouTube, and you can find me there. Your life will be better.
