NY Mayor offers to show TX Governor around the city

From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. Welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Killmeat Show. Thanks for being with us all week long. It's been a lot of fun, very interesting, a lot of breaking news.

This hour, we're going to be joined by Senator Shelly Moore Capito. And she, of course, could have a Republican alongside her in West Virginia for the first time in her career. Joe Manchin says, I'm not going to do it again. I'm not running for president. By the way, side note.

It looks like No Label is not going to run at all. They said that they have no hero to step up and take the label. They got the money. They're probably not going to go anywhere for now, but they do not have a candidate. And sadly, with the passing of Joe Lieberman, they really have a huge gap and a vacuum in their leadership.

With me right now in the studio, he's got to do TV in a short time, is Michael Watley. Michael's got a big job on his hands, and he just got it. He is the RNC chairman along with Lara Trump. Michael, great to see you in person. It's great to be on with you.

All right, so your thoughts, when did it first occur to you that this is a position that you might be able to fill and wanted to fulfill? Look, when the president called and said, hey, talk to Rana, we're going to make a change and we want you to step up and we want you to step in. You know, I've been serving as the North Carolina Republican Party chair for five years. I've been the general counsel for the RNC.

So I felt like, yeah, we can step in and we can absolutely make an impact. How did you make an impact with the former president that he thought you were the right person? You know, I think it comes down to winning in North Carolina. We're a true battleground state, you know, 30% Republican, 33% Democrat. At 37 percent unaffiliated, and we ran the table.

You know, I had worked with his campaign senior advisor in 2016 and ran the state in 2020.

So he knew we knew how to win in a battleground state. And we had a huge push on election integrity. I built the largest election integrity program of any state in the country in 2020, and that's obviously a huge focus for him here. The way I look at it, and you could tell me if you don't like this analogy, it's like sports. You go to the team's stadium and it's up to you to adjust to the turf, adjust to the these you can't complain about it, right?

Even if the refs are hometown refs, you got to find a way to win.

Now that you're in 2024, looking back at 2020, you know the districts that gave you guys problems. You know the precincts that gave you problems. I know you just got the job for a month, but have you been looking at the top of my head places in Michigan that you still have questions about, in Arizona that took forever to count, in Philadelphia? Have you guys put a target map on how do we make those districts come into line to crown a winner in which everyone could have confidence in? Yeah, 100%.

You know, as the general counsel, I actually helped put together our election integrity program at the RNC. I've been to Philadelphia. I have been to Phoenix, Arizona. I've been to Milwaukee. I'm going to Detroit next month.

We are working all around the country right now to make sure that... All urban environments with Democratic mayors. Absolutely, right? But, you know, the thing is that when you are in the room, it makes a difference. And so we are recruiting and training tens of thousands of volunteers.

We're recruiting and training thousands of attorneys that we are going to make sure that we are in the room when votes are being cast and when they're being. Counted. The other big thing that we're doing is we're making sure that the rules of the road are in place in all of these states.

So we have filed lawsuits, we have worked with regulators, we have worked with legislators, we are changing the laws and we are filing suits. I've got 80 lawsuits right now going on around the country, 24 different states, to make sure that it is going to be very easy to vote and hard to achieve.

So off the top of your head, we heard Jim Crow 2.0 when it came to Atlanta, right, into Georgia. And the President totally mislabeled what that and totally irresponsibly, and I think even the Democrats' view, the Major League Olsar game pulls out over in Georgia. Everyone's worried about Georgia. But what he did is, I'm going to limit the number of drop boxes. I'm going to make sure people online can't be bribed with water or gifts or paraphernalia.

So now they had a good election, it's a solid election. Um What pandemic rules are in place that still bother you, that easily should have been brought back now that we're way past Look, the biggest thing that we've tried to do, especially in states like Wisconsin and Georgia, is get rid of the drop boxes, make sure that we have protections on mail-in votes, right? You have to have a signature. You have to have a witness. You have to have-cause you have that in Georgia now.

Yeah, we do, and we've got it in Wisconsin as well. And we're going to continue to fight in every state to make sure that we have those types of rules, right? It's not unreasonable for you to say that your absentee ballot has to be in on election day. It's not unreasonable to say that you have to have voter ID. These are all things that are supported by 70, 80 percent of Americans when it comes to election integrity.

They want it. Even in Wisconsin, on Tuesday night, they passed two constitutional amendments to ban Zuckerbucks and make sure that we're going to have the good rules of the road in place up there. Interesting. Uh when you S when you get money, it's not just for President Trump, the Presidency. For it to be effective at RNC, you got to make sure you have senators, you have to make sure you keep that House, even State Houses.

Democrats will probably outrage you. I think it's pretty clear they might outrage everybody. Your thoughts about how it's distributed down the line, away from the White House? Look, our main mission is to win at a federal level. We are, at the end of the day, the RNC is a federal committee, and we are working with the NRCC, the Congressional Campaign Committee.

We are working with the NRSC, the Senate Campaign Committee, to make sure that we are going to flip the Senate and expand our majority in the House. But we exist first and foremost to win the presidential race. And when we go win these battleground states, we are going to have a tide that's going to lift all boats, right?

So we can't be all things to all people. What we can do is make sure that we are going to get out the vote and we are going to protect the ballot. And when we do those two things, it's going to help Donald Trump get back to the White House. It's going to make sure that we flip the Senate and we expand our majority in the House. Michael Watley, I guess, he's co-running the RNC.

Mm-hmm. The other problem is voting early. I know it's probably going to happen if there's debates. The voting might start before the debates.

So, what is the new policy for the RNC on voting early? Rod McDaniel was all in on that. I don't know if the Republicans are responding to that. What have you found? Look, over half of the voters in America are going to vote before Election Day.

That includes Republicans, it includes Independents. We have to talk to those voters before they go vote. We have to make sure that they are informed voters. We are going to have across the country people can vote on Election Day, they can vote early, or they can vote by mail. We want to make sure that they go vote.

And so we're going to talk to them and we're going to say, here are your three options. Here's how you do it if you want to vote by mail. Here's how you do it if you're going to vote early. We're going to talk to them before they go vote so they're informed voters. There's a obviously the Democrats want to run against they want to make Trump the bad guy rather than make Joe Biden the good guy.

So a couple of things that they've done when the President says immigrants, these murderers are animals, they are saying Joe, the president, the former president is calling all immigrants animals. Not true. They're saying to the president he is going to be a dictator on the first day. He was kidding with Sean Hannity when he said the first day I'm going to be there because I'm going to build that wall and I'm going to kick out all the immigrants and then I'll relax. He was kidding, but they're still using it.

And now the new thing is bloodbath, Cut 35. We're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car. That comes across the line, and you're not going to be able to sell those guys. If I get elected, Now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole country. That's going to be the least of it.

It's going to be a bloodbath for the country. That'll be the least of it. But they're not going to sell those cars.

So what was he referring to?

Well, he was referring to there is the economic impact of having all of these cars built by Chinese manufacturers in Mexico and then coming across without tariffs.

So you're listening to that, and normal people, especially if you know Trump. Yeah, you know, exactly. Absolutely. Look, I think the bloodbath that we need to be worried about right now is on the border and the fact that we've got migrant crime. I go, I hear you.

But listen to the way they're spinning at Cut 36. Amy, what I heard was a continuation of the same rhetoric, the same endorsement of political violence that we've seen from Donald Trump. He's even predicting a bloodbath. What does that mean? He's going to exact a bloodbath?

He knew what he was doing. We're not stupid. Americans. They have a quick reaction team to do that. Do you have one?

We do. We have an absolutely fantastic communication shop. We've got a great opposition research program at the RNC, and we're building it out right now. I think the key for us is Joe Biden and what he's doing to America, what he's doing to the world through his weak foreign policy leadership, through an open border that's bringing 9.5 million illegal immigrants across the border is putting America in a much worse place. And we need to be ready to go every single day to ask the American voters, are you better off under Joe Biden or were you better off and will you be better off under Donald Trump?

Great number, 63 million last month.

Now I understand a fundraiser is coming together that you guys are projecting 30 million. Could you tell us about that? Look, we've got a dinner tomorrow night down at Mir-a-Lago. We're going to raise $40 million at this thing. The excitement for President Trump is absolutely palpable.

He has been our formal presumptive nominee for about three and a half weeks. And in that time, over the first month, Of having him in place. We're going to raise $100 million. Is that enough? No, but it's certainly a really, really strong start to make sure we have the resources that we need to get our message out to every American family because that's how they're going to.

The role of social media in that. Where's the money go? What do you need the money for? We need the money for let-on-target. We're going to win by doing two things.

We are going to get out the vote and we are going to protect the ballot. It all comes down to making sure that every Republican goes to the polls and every independent voter knows the difference between Biden and Trump. And then we've got to make sure we have election integrity in place everywhere we go. We want to make sure the rules of the road are in place and we want to make sure that we have observers and attorneys in the room when the votes are being counted and cast. Your thoughts about Ronald McDaniel losing her NBC contract because she was RNC chair?

Talk about hypocrisy. Talk about ridiculous double standards. You know, when you have the White House press secretary, Jen Saki, walk straight out of the White House to the MSNBC studio, not a single one of those NBCs. Reporters had a fit. None of them thought it was a crisis at all.

You put one Republican on stage over there, and they have a complete and total meltdown. It's a double standard that's appalling. Give my best to Bill Hammer and Dana Perino. Michael Watley, congratulations on the job. Have some fun over the next seven months.

Thank you, sir. All right. That is Michael Watley, RNC Chair. This is the Brian Killmee Show. We're back in a moment.

If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead. I'm going to offer him a stay in one of the Hercs.

So he can see what he has created. And understand how we are treating people with the dignity and respect that he should have shown as well. The invitation is nothing more than a gimmick. And what I would suggest to the mayor of New York is there are people dying on his watch. law enforcement officers who are being gunned down by people who have been arrested twenty times, and he needs to take charge and make sure they keep behind bars dangerous criminals who are killing his fellow New Yorkers.

He also needs to educate Americans and New Yorkers why he's spending their taxpayer money. To house migrants here illegally because of Joe Biden's open border policies.

So that was Governor Abbott. He was here in New York last night for a Republican event. He was a keynote speaker, and Mayor Adams found out he was here, and he said he could come by and see some of the soft-sided facilities that we put our migrants in. He could also hear about the great program we have. We now give them debit cards full of $350.

If you're a family of four with two kids or 28 days, you not only stay for free, we do your laundry, we turn down your bed, and we give you $350 a week to eat because evidently they don't like our food.

So this city that is so Angry at Texas. Don't be angry at Texas. Over 100,000 people have come here. 67,000, over 200,000. 67,000 are still here.

And yes, some are bust. 40,000 came from Texas. But the rest came from Joe Biden. They all came from Joe Biden. He let everybody know: if you come here and you want to come, you can stay.

They came to Texas, he bust them here, and now it's Adams against Abbott. Come on, Mr. Mayor. You know that Abbott is not the problem. He's making everyone understand this is an American problem.

But get this. By the summer of 2025, The New York New York City will have paid $10,600,600,000,000 for Illegal immigrants. Hokul wants $2.4 billion in the next fiscal budget. Taxes, this is one of the places, if you're listening around the country, in Indianapolis or Dayton, Ohio, this is one of the highest taxed areas.

Now, it's different if you got to keep things going and there's a very expensive to keep the MTA rolling, but it's another thing to write checks to people that don't belong here who are screwing up our whole system, not looking to excel, but take their gangster criminal attitudes and rob us, make everything unsafe.

So Adams has this new pilot program that's going to cost $600 million that is going to put money in the pockets of illegal immigrants. Why wouldn't they come? I mean, do you know in California they are giving them free health care? Why wouldn't they come? In Chicago, this idiot mayor I didn't think you could do worse than Lori Lightfoot, but you did.

People of Chicago.

Now says we could take seven hundred thousand illegal immigrants. Really? You can't handle and keep the people safe in your city right now with Americans. How dare you say that you could spend that much when it comes to Denver, migrant spending, $60 million plus, they can't afford that. $180 million allocated to food and shelter for people who don't belong here.

10% of the city's annual budgets go to migrant aid. Think about the after-school programs. Think about the schools that are heavily taxed. Think about the transit system that's not being improved. It's not being kept up.

There's only so much money you have. Also, in a time in which there's not economic expansion, You wonder what people of Denver are doing. You know what they're doing now? They're telling them. Go to New York.

It's much better. Los Angeles, $1,000 per month through Los Angeles County, guaranteed income, $1,000 a month.

Now, if you're stuck in El Salvador, or actually, El Salvador got better, or Ecuador. Why would you not make your way to Los Angeles? You can get in. You can stay. And you have free health care.

For 700,000 individuals, Under the state's Medi-Cal system.

Now they're buried in debt.

So they're cutting a lot and they're losing a lot of high earners. Hollywood's moving out. They're doing things in Chicago, excuse me, in Georgia now. Although they tried to boycott Georgia, but Stacey Ames didn't win an election. Remember that?

Remember how skewed everything was at the time? People were sobering up. People are sobering up to understanding that it is not Donald Trump who is the problem. He's not anti-immigrant. He's anti-illegal immigrant.

It's not okay to help break our borders. It's not okay to not fully fund the defense. It's not okay to continue to lose your recruiting goals. It's not okay to leave Afghanistan the way we did. It's not okay to take millions of dollars and give it to states that you want to get into your Electoral College column and give them money for green energy in underprivileged areas.

They're not going to put it to solar panels. Why would you if you had so many other needs? Here's more from Greg Abbott, Cut Five. Congress has already passed three laws on the books before Joe Biden took office. One that requires the president to deny illegal entry, another to detain anybody who does enter illegally, and three is to build border barriers.

Because Biden is doing none of those, that's why all of these people are coming in, including the terrorist, both known and unknown. And it's also why we have so many people crossing the country. And this is what I want you to understand. The people in Texas do. Every time they put up their makeshift wall in the beginning, the federal government was told, cut it down.

Every time they put up their border they come up with legislation to be able to take control of their own border, jail this is their new rule with SP four. If you come across illegally, you go to jail. If you want to not go to jail, go back to your own country. And they were going to provide money to do it. And the government, the federal government, this White House sued.

So anyone who tells you, well, that's bipartisan legislation would have fixed the whole problem. Republicans want the issue. No, you're seeing the federal government with their legal actions how much they're against it. Keep in mind, they were told by a court. To build a wall.

He promised to fix the hulse. He has done neither. They have six hundred and fifty million dollars worth of fence just laying in the desert. He won't do it. If you want to know how serious he is.

Don't listen to him when he says they got to give me the money, they got to pass the legislation. Judge it by the legal actions he's taken against the one state run by a Republican governor who wants to get control of their border, and that is a Republican governor In Abbott. And that is a state of Texas. New Mexico is feeling the pain. Man, is Arizona feeling the pain, and so is California.

They don't want to say it because they're from the Democratic Party and they don't want to make their president look bad in election year, but it's making the country look bad. It should be America first, yeah, for Americans. Shelley Moore Capital, descendant from West Virginia next. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show.

How is his support unwavering, but you're also reconsidering policy choices? Both can be true. It cannot be true. They're completely different things. No.

And he made it clear to the Prime Minister in his call. that our support for Israel's self defense remains ironclad. Uh that is Admiral Kirby, and I always say this: I feel bad for him because this guy spent his life in the military. He knows it's not true. They have totally changed their policy, but to Biden's credit, for now, they have not slowed down the weapon shipments.

I think $18 million worth of equipment that was already scheduled to go and bombs and everything. We even got details is going. The question is: they want more FC 1516s. Will that be going? And what they did yesterday in an hour phone call, evidently, if the readouts are correct, President Biden told the BB Netanyahu get to a ceasefire.

What kind of idiot is he? Do you understand? If you demand they get to a ceasefire, you've taken the leverage away from Bibi Netanyahu.

So they're going to go meet with a CIA director and work out some type of ceasefire in Qatar. Really? Okay. Hamas has been walking away because they think they have leverage. They don't care about dead Palestinians.

They don't really care that much about dead Hamas people. They want to survive. If they survive, they win. Israel loses. Senator Shelley Moore Capito joins us now, Appropriations, Transportation Ranking Member of the U.S.

Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. Senator, welcome back. Your thoughts about our change in policy after that terrible mistake of killing these charity workers, these aid workers that were en route to give the Palestinians some food and some essentials.

Well, I mean, obviously, Israel has taken responsibility for what unfortunately, very unfortunately happened with the World Central Kitchen staff. And, you know, it's tough to see and hard to read. But they did take immediate responsibility for the mistake. But I agree with what you're saying in terms of what the President said yesterday basically is kicking the legs of the stool out from under Israel in terms of being able to get their hostages back in order for them to be able to completely eliminate Hamas, who says in their own constitution loudly that they or in their verbes that they want to destroy the state of Israel. I mean, what they did on October 7th will probably pale to what they will do if they are able to stay in a strong position.

And I believe what President Biden said yesterday is damaging to our relationship with Israel, but also damaging to Israel's ability to defend itself. No doubt about it. I just want you to hear what General Jack Keene told me last hour about what it means for these negotiations, Cut 19. What's taking place here is go to a ceasefire and make concessions to achieve that ceasefire. Certainly negotiations have been going on for some time and Netanyahu has had a six-week ceasefire on the table for weeks.

But Hamas in in in those negotiations has been quite impossible to deal with.

Now What have we done? We just strengthened Hamas's hand. Rather dramatically, and leverage them in those negotiations. And we should, it's quite appalling. We should stay out of this.

You know, I remember over the last 20 years, we have the best military in the world with the best intelligence. We made some mistakes, we killed some innocent people. And the last thing we would want is one of our allies calling us out. Do you agree? I do agree.

I mean, I think last time we talked, Brian, we were talking about Senator Schumer on the floor of the United States Senate, basically telling Israel to replace their government, a free democracy. We don't like your leader. Take your leader and find another one. That, to me, just signals where this administration is. I think they're bending to the pressures that they have, particularly because it's an election year and they're getting pressures from the left.

And so you can see in what they're saying at the press conferences and what supposedly the president told the prime minister of Israel that they are losing the battle within their own party and they're willing to impinge on friendships and meddle in other people, other countries' abilities to defend themselves. The way I would do it, Senator, I would say every conversation would start with. We're only having this conversation because of October 7th. The Israelis had no interest in going in Gaza ever. They said, Are you kidding me?

We don't want any part of that. Here are the keys, Sharon said. Then he went into a coma. You start every conversation with babies being put in the oven, limbs being caught, cut off people that previously had been aiding the Palestinians, and sometimes in Gaza. And people are taking kidnapped and could from eight months old to 80-year-olds.

And then I'd say about those aid workers, terrible tragedy. I'm going to talk to Israel about this. We will aid them with their intelligence to make sure this doesn't happen again and make sure we take care of the families, especially the American families. Whatever it takes. But I just don't understand it.

Do you believe it's about Minnesota and Michigan, less about more about that than it is about anything else? It absolutely is, but I tell you what it also is about is confusion. I think this confusion confuses not just Israel and supporters here in this country of Israel, but it's confused. It's typical of President Biden's international policies of one day you say one thing, one day you say another. I mean, you know, the spokesperson said, well, we're saying both things.

You can't say both things. And not in this environment and not in these dangerous times. And so I think now you see instability supposedly brewing in Iran with some kind of retaliatory strike. We know ISIS is flaring up again. And I think a lot of that is attributable to the fact that we are not as strong as we need to be and clear in our message to our friends.

Senator Capito, I know you're going to be heavily involved as a ranking member to get Majorcas impeached. What chance does that have in the Senate where you need two-thirds of a vote? Are you even going to get a vote? Is that solely up to Chuck Schumer? It is.

It is definitely up to Chuck Schumer and the Democrats on what direction they want to go on April 10th when we receive the impeachment notice from the House. I would prefer a full Senate trial. Why don't we listen to what the charges are and how effective they would be? To think that we could get to two-thirds, I think, is probably not going to happen in a realistic. But that doesn't mean we should hear a full trial.

It should be conducted before the Senate and we should begin it right away because impeachment is a very serious charge. And he, Mayorkas, and the president have basically failed to follow the law. We see the numbers. They're up every month, more and more and more. And now I read yesterday about the Chinese nationals that are now outnumbering the Mexicans coming into the California sector.

Those numbers are staggering in and of itself. And so you see that he has no control, and Mayorkas is following his orders and not paying attention to the law. Right. And he was there on record. There's not one plan.

He took great pride on MSNBC of saying I reversed every order possible as it relates to the border that Donald Trump put in place. And now they're saying this is just a migrant surge that anyone would be experiencing a broken system that they inherited. But I just think the American people are smarter than that. I'm going to add to your Chinese story. There's a story today on Fox News from T.W.

Shannon that talks about Chinese mobsters among the illegals coming here. And they're going to states, and we have two affiliates there in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, in states like Oklahoma. And they're beginning to take over areas in drugs and drug trafficking and even murder. I mean, have you even heard about this? This caught me by surprise this morning.

I actually had not heard that. I just saw yesterday the numbers encapsulated from 2021, 2022, and then when you bounce down to 2023 and this year, the numbers are up like, I don't know, thousands of percent of Chinese nationals. We don't know who these people are. And I mean, I think if there's one thing we know, if China can infiltrate us in any way, they're going to try because they keep trying our universities and other things, our farmland, et cetera.

So this is, I think, a major red flag. It just shows the poorseness of the border, but it also shows the administration's they're just Catching these people and releasing them into the country. They're not even sending them back or sending them to another country. Just putting them right into our country and say, see you in eight years because the system's so broken when we don't even attempt to try to fix it. And that is just.

The American people can see what's going on here. And I think it's scaring people. I mean, I'm here in West Virginia. We have a huge fentanyl issue. And we know it's coming from the southern border.

We know it's going, you know, our border agents can't do everything all at once. And what's happening? More drugs are coming through because of the enormous surge of humankind coming through unabated into our country with no deterrence. And President Trump figured out deterrence. This president could figure it out too.

So as you sit down now, we're seven months out into the election. When you look at the Senate and how much easier life would be if you're in the majority, it looks like Jim Justice would be a shoe-in to replace Joe Manchin. Hogan is neck and neck over in Maryland. You have a Navy SEAL taking on John Tester over in Montana. And then in Ohio, you have Sherard Brown, who's with kind of a small...

three-point lead. Over the new Republican candidate. Where are you focusing your energy? Where are you most concerned? What do you think we should keep an eye on?

Well, certainly West Virginia, I think, we put in the win column. Governor Justice will be the next senator, and I'm very pleased and excited about that. That's a great primary. What a success story! He's fantastic.

Yeah, very successful here. Things are on the move in our state. I would say the next vulnerable one is probably Montana because of the huge support for President Trump there. Yeah, we'll help Tim Sheehee. But, you know, you see others popping up.

Ohio is getting redder. There's no doubt about it. It's going to be a challenge to make sure that our votes come out in Ohio. Sherrod Brown is not a pushover by any stretch of the imagination. He's been in for several terms.

And I think also what you see in Nevada is good. And I think we got a shot in Arizona. We've got a, if Mike Rogers wins that primary up in Michigan, which I hope that he does, he is a real dynamo. Pennsylvania. There's the playing field is very, very good.

And I'm really excited about Hogan in Maryland because he has just been awesome. He was a great governor. We get a lot of his news and everything here in West Virginia as well. And I've met him more than a few times. Really, really wonderful person.

Senator, you live this life, but do you know the moderates like Cinema and Manchin. Are gone. John Tester pretends to be a moderate, he doesn't.

So you know, if for some reason Democrats use this cycle, which is heavily weighted to Republicans, they're going to go for the jugular to get rid of the filibuster, add two more states, pack the court, because there's no moderate force to stop them.

So it was really all or nothing this term. Am I overstating it?

Well, on the filibuster, Brian, you're definitely not overstating it. If Chuck Schumer has his way, he and his members have already pledged to overturn the filibuster, which means every vote is a majority vote.

So if the Democrats have the majority, they win every vote in the Senate. And you could see how close it is in the House.

So these Senate races are absolutely key to stopping this. I pledged under President Trump that I would not remove the filibuster because I can really see both sides of it, both when you're in the majority and the minority, and how a useful tool it is to be able to prevent bad things. You know, judges and new states and more taxes. I mean, it would just go on and on. More green energy.

They just announced another $20 billion going out to eight nonprofits. to for green energy, for a green bank. I mean, the money flowing is just obviously damaging our economy, but where is it going? And I think the Supreme Court would probably be the most damaging segment of not having control of the Senate, I think, as what the Democrats want to do, enlarge the court and then pack it. I mean, you're on energy.

You're on the Committee on Environment and Public Works, and you don't know where the money is going. But you know this. Vice President Harris yesterday and EPA Administrator Michael Regan will announce selections for a $20 billion in awards to stand up a national financing network that will fund tens of thousands of climate and clean energy projects across the country in low-income disadvantaged communities. My sense is when I go into those communities that they don't need solar panels. Uh what are they talking about?

That is so general, it's ripe for corruption. Is there an Inspector General over that?

Well, certainly the EPA has an inspector general that we would be able to access. But the oversight of this is crazy. I looked through the list of the names. One of them has Appalachia in there, and I thought, well, wow, I wonder who this is. I live in Appalachia, and I don't know who these people are.

So they're going to get billions of dollars. Where is this money going to go? And I think what we would rather do is see our full energy, full, all of the above energy being utilized. And that's the key to our success as a country in the past, and that would be our concede to our key to the success in the future. And so they just can't get enough of the green.

Look, there's I think it's um seven billion dollars to go for charging stations. They've built seven in the last three years. Are you going to tell me that we're going to now give them another twenty billion to do green energy projects that really will just end up empowering certain nonprofits? Unbelievable. But we will be digging into it for sure.

All right. Thanks so much, Senator. I feel like we covered a lot. You got the impeachment. You got the Israel situation.

I didn't ask you about Ukraine aid. I know it's not in your chamber, but what do you hope Mike Johnson does next week? You know, I've been trying to read between the lines, as I'm sure you have, of what he says he's going to do, how he's going to try to pass something. I'm kind of at the point where I can't predict. I mean, I think that maybe this loan idea could possibly pass.

I think it's, I voted for it because I believe a strong Ukraine will help us push Putin. You saw, you know, Macron, who's, you know, I'm not sure what we think about him, but he's over there saying, look, we have got to stop Putin now, or the French are going to be in trouble. I mean, he's waking up to the fact that Putin wants to get into Europe and wants to invade past Ukraine if he's successful. And we can't let that happen. Senator Excel.

So I don't know what's going to happen in the House. I really don't. It's hard to predict. I mean, I agree with you. As much as I like J.D.

Vance, I don't know where he's coming from on this, but there are some Republicans that just think that we should be, I don't know, siding with Russia. It beats me. Senator Capital, thanks so much. All right, you have a good day, and thank you. You got it.

People, West Virginia, lucky to have her. We're back in a moment with your calls. If I could squeeze them in, next, don't move. Giving you everything you need to know. You're with Brian Kilmead.

Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. Are you still 100% with Israel? And what's your advice to Netanyahu Bihad? Get it over with in a hurry.

Well, that's all the advice you can give. I mean, that's the advice. You got to get it over with, and you have to get back to normalcy. And I'm not sure that I'm loving the way they're doing it because You gotta have victory. You have to have a victory.

And it's taking a long time and The other thing is I hate they put out tapes all the time. Every night they're releasing tapes of a building falling down. They shouldn't be releasing tapes like that. That's why they're losing the PR war. Israel is absolutely losing the PR war.

But Trump's going for victory, but I give him credit for this. He's saying, look, optics matter. You don't want to be killing civilians. We know that's not the objective, but that's the way it's being portrayed. Get ahead of the message and get this done.

He knows they got to go in and eradicate Hamas. The president never, the former president never signed up for a two-state solution because he knew the Palestinians didn't want it. They walked away from every deal. If you ask the Palestinians now, they don't want a two-state solution. They can't get a leadership committee that even wants a two-state solution.

They want Israel out. That's what Israel knows. That's what they're doing, what they're doing. I think this is one of the strongest public statements the president made. The most savvy, anyway.

From Hia Tom, Fox News Headquarters in New York. York City. Always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmead. Hi, everyone.

Thanks so much for being here. I come to you from Middown Manhattan, heard around the country, around the world. One of the many boroughs where, actually, not too far from here, Governor Abbott was in speaking to the Republican Club here as a keynote speaker. And it wouldn't have taken long for him to see illegal immigration just bursting at the seams here. We've got thousands costing us billions.

We will discuss that and so much more over this hour. We're also going to be joined by Josh Croshaw in a matter of moments. Allison S. Posito, who was the running mate to Lee Zeldon in their quest to be the next governor of New York. She is now running.

I got to get her take on bail reform and the pressure Democrats better be feeling about what their policies have brought. And Madison Allworth breaks down what these sanctuary cities are actually costing taxpayers. She's going to be with us, one of our fine Fox business correspondents.

So let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. How is his support unwavering? But you're also reconsidering policy choices. Both can be true.

They cannot be true. They're completely different things. No. And he made it clear to the Prime Minister in his call that our support for Israel's self-defense remains ironclad. Wow, uh, kinda.

Biden and Beebe battle it out as the Gaza war mistake has more Dems leaving Israel's side. We go over the fallout and what the Israelis need to now finish the job versus Hamas. Number two. Did they ever threaten you? Yes.

They threaten me. Of course, last time even the officer was there and they were sitting down against us and they were showing me something like this. And that, what he did is put a motion across his neck to slit his throat. Squatters, not only evil and illegal, but dangerous. As we learn more details of the Bronx basement takeover from the homeowner, from the squatters, and the cops who pried them out.

Number one. I'm going to offer him a stay in one of the Hercs so he can see what he has created. The invitation is nothing more than a gimmick. Yeah, that is the back and forth. Border war, as in Texas versus New York, as Governor Abbott of Texas comes to town and Mayor Adams seethes as New York's been forced to take in 40,000 illegals, courtesy of Texas, and overall over 100,000.

That's the price you pay for sanctuary status. We're going to debate the number one issue in America, and that's illegal immigration and all the elements behind it. Josh, you're with Fox News Radio, of course, political analyst, editor-in-chief of Jewish Insider. Welcome back. Hey, Brian, happy Friday.

Great to be back with you. What about that showdown? The governor of Texas, he's looked at as the bad guy against the mayor of New York because the mayor has got a deal and spend billions on these illegal immigrants. But he blames Texas. Don't you think that's misplaced?

Well, Brian, one of the most remarkable political dynamics over these past few months is the reaction from these deep blue city mayors, Eric Adams in New York, Brandon Johnson in Chicago. They're experiencing the strain on social services. They're experiencing the negative impact that a lot of the influx of these migrants are having in their own communities. And it's a political there's a political backlash even in deep blue parts of the country.

Now they're trying to blame Governor Abbott in Texas, but they're really just echoing a lot of the same frustrations that border state governors, that Arizona's leadership, that Texas's leadership have been saying for a long time. And you know the saying, Brian, all politics is local.

Well, now all immigration politics is really national. Because it doesn't matter where you are, you're seeing the impact that these sanctuary city policies were sort of a luxury signaling for these blue states and blue city mayors for a long time.

Now, those types of policies are unsustainable and are delivering a political backlash. This unseriously, right? This unserious mayor from Chicago says we can take up to 700,000. I mean, what's he thinking? He can't take 20,000.

They're all overflowing, bursting at the seams, angering the people of Chicago. And he's hearing it from his own Democratic base. I mean, this is not like a partisan issue. You're the fur the left wing of Granted Johnson is about as far left as you probably go in terms of elected offic officials, and he's hearing it from other Democratic city councillors in Chicago that this is an unsustainable path.

So compare this issue In 2024, to where di where how much it mattered in 20 in 2016. Oh, I think it's a bigger, a bigger issue. I mean, immigration has always been a big part of It was a big part of Donald Trump's success. It was a big, big factor in both winning the nomination in 2016 and drawing a line against Hillary Clinton back then. But I think if you look at the polls, Brian, immigration is frequently the number one issue.

I think it drives more Republican voters to the polls, but it is a bipartisan sense of frustration across the country over border security and the policies of the Biden administration. I always like to look at folks like Henry Queyar, who was a Democrat, a moderate Democrat, near a border constituency in Texas. And he is one of the biggest critics of the Biden administration's border policies because it's not about partisan politics. It's about looking on the ground and the implication of when you have open borders and you're not serious about having tough border security. By the way, and the Democrats try to primary him.

And I know the every time, and Coyar always prevails. Here's a little of the back and forth, cut one. I'm going to offer him a stay in one of the Hercs so he can see what he has created. And understand how we are treating people with the dignity and respect that he should have shown as well. The invitation is nothing more than a gimmick.

And what I would suggest to the mayor of New York is there are people dying on his watch. Law enforcement officers for being gunned down by people who have been arrested 20 times. And he needs to take charge and make sure they keep behind bars dangerous criminals who are killing his fellow New Yorkers. He also needs to educate Americans and New Yorkers why he's spending their taxpayer money. To house migrants here illegally because of Joe Biden's open border policies.

So he does not mind taking on this fight. And I tell you, Governor Abbott looks really strong as a candidate. Among Republicans, he is a hero because he forced this to be a national issue. It's not grandstanding. It's fact-finding.

And now every Democratic city and state feels the facts and the lifestyle that Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California feel. Yeah, and look, I mean, I think this also, Brian, at least in New York City, ties into the l the the lack of law and order even beyond the the issue of ille illegal immigration. Know the National Guard being dispatched by the New York governor to subway stations because the crime is not under control. You have total disorder in parts of the city that has still not really gotten under control under this leadership.

So, you know, partisan politics is sort of the last refuge of not being, you know, it's easy to play partisan politics when a lot of people in your city are really, really dissatisfied about the direction things are going in. And they don't feel safe, they don't feel secure. And they're seeing, you know, again, there's a lot more attention being paid to housing these illegal migrants than actually keeping citizens safe who ride the subways or walking down the streets of New York City. And that's a, you know, frankly, one of the areas where there was a red wave, despite a pretty tough election in 2022 for Republicans, was New York City, was Long Island, was the New York metropolitan, you know, the New York City metropolitan area. And that is largely because of those two issues, illegal immigration and crime.

And those issues still are very resonant today.

So I'm watching, I'm reading the Washington Post today. And they're talking about squatting being a Republican issue, that it's not really a problem. Really? And they kind of made it up. First off, I want to give them the numbers.

No one's making up a problem. Squatting. Dallas, Fort Worth, 475 homeowners had people just take over their house and they can't get back in. Atlanta, 1,200 people have already felt the wrath. Thousands in New York, especially those who have relatively challenged when they gave their renter forgiveness plan, but they didn't do anything for the landlords.

I want you to hear this one Bronx homeowner who's a victim of having illegal immigrants squat in his basement. Listen to Nate Foy Cut 10. Did they ever threaten you? Yeah. They threat me.

Of course, last time even the officer was there and they were sitting down against us and They were showing me something like this. And he said it was a move to go, we will slit your throat. Here's more, cut 11. These people actually They one time I was with the police, I was with the same standing by police and they showing me something like this, and I was pointing out to police officer, look what they're showing me, what that means. Yeah.

Is it? Right now he's not doing anything so we can't do anything, you know, you know, we we gotta follow the law.

So, the cops could not throw them out. It turns out there were attempted murderers, there were guns, there were drugs, there was a child in there. And then, one week after a cop was gunned down, these officers had to go in to a place where they knew there were guns, illegal guns, and illegal immigrants with nothing to lose. They had to go barnstorm in there, only to find out a judge would let them out without bail right after. Isn't this, Josh, everything that we've been discussing of criminal justice reform, Sanctuary City, illegal immigration, and squatters?

Yeah. You throw everything in the mix because it all deals with a criminal justice system that is. Not punitive enough in dealing with just basic disorder. I mean, you can't make some of this stuff up, Brian. And just hearing, and it's painful to hear some of these stories that are all too common.

And look, the politics, one of the biggest dynamics, we've talked a lot about this on the show, about how politics has shifted and how there's sort of a small realignment taking place in working-class communities of color, where you have Hispanics in the Bronx, you have a lot of African Americans in these working-class communities, and they really are the ones kind of on the front lines of these issues. And they don't like what they see, and they don't like the policies by their city or leadership and the state leadership.

So look, I think that this is it's hard to see how this will be politically sustainable for the long term. I've actually you have the Democratic National Convention this summer in Chicago, another hotbed of a lot of the illegal migrant activity and a lot of these same issues. And boy, I think that it could come to a head there when you have a lot of national democratic leaders coming to see firsthand and dealing with the backlash in a very big and important city.

So I looked at the Wall Street Journal poll, and the former President is leading everywhere except Wisconsin where it is tied. Then I looked at the Franco de Marshall poll in Pennsylvania. It has Biden up 10. Where where does what does one what does voters get from this? Yeah, well, I mean, it's it's always uh dangerous to rely on one one one individual poll.

I I think the Wall Street Journal polls are a better better brand of polls, and I think they're they're a lot closer to where things actually are in the presidential race. Look, I mean, I think number one, it's going to be a competitive race. Number two, Trump holds a small but still resilient advantage in in the head to head matchups. And look, here's the math, Brian. Biden needs to win every single one of those Midwestern or.

Kind of blue wall states up in the Midwest and Northeast, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. It's hard to see how Biden wins the presidency without sweeping those three big states.

So, look, they're all close. Wisconsin is always going to be a big, big bellwether battleground. Pennsylvania may be Biden's best battleground state, and he's down within the margin of error in the Wall Street Journal poll. Michigan is obviously one of the bigger problematic states for Biden. given the problems with Arab voters and with young voters on the left.

So, I mean, look, to me, big picture, Biden is running competitively, but he's in a very, very treacherous position for a president seeking reelection. And I think at this point, it's pretty fair to say he's a narrow underdog as he tries to get a second term. Yeah, I'm looking at all the polls. Franklin Marshall has Biden up 10. The Morning Consult has it even.

Susquehanna has Biden up 5. CNN has it even. Emerson has Trump up 4.

So it's hard to get it. We know this. It's close right now.

So we have seven months to play this out. Tell me what do you think that Donald Trump should be most worried about? And what do you think that Joe Biden should be most worried about?

Well, look, I think Trump's concerns are sort of the ones we've been talking about for years, which is that there are a lot of people that want to change from Biden, but there's still a critical mass of people who are not fans of Donald Trump either. They don't like his personal behavior. They're worried about all the legal exposure he has and will continue to have through the election year.

So I mean, the question is, do enough of those voters we saw in 2020 that people that didn't like Biden and Trump voted for Biden. Polls show that those double haters, the double dislikers, are more leaning towards Trump this time. But they're still in play, and that's a voting blog we're going to be watching very, very closely. For Biden, I think he needs the economy. There's some encouraging economic news today.

He needs that economic news to continue to be optimistic and to be encouraging. And I think he needs to get, you know, like you started the show off talking about what's going on in Israel and the relationship with the Netanyahu government. You know, I think the more he's seen as pandering to the left, pandering to the anti-Israel activists, which he's trying to find some balance, but it's looking like he's losing wars and he's abandoning allies on multiple fronts. And that's a big concern. Ukraine doesn't get aid, if Israel is abandoned or seen as able to fight Hamas in its final stronghold, that could look like the United States is weak.

America is facing a chaotic world, and that's a factor that could really cripple Biden heading into November. All right. And lastly, Josh, what do you expect Speaker Johnson to do next week when it comes to Taiwan aid, Ukraine aid, and using it to get something they want if they do a standalone for Joe Biden, what he wants?

Well, it's interesting because of all these kind of legislative machinations. Jonathan seems much more willing to kind of almost put his speakership on the line and even, you know. risk some ire from Marjorie Taylor Greene and other kind of anti-Ukraine Republicans and trying to maybe even get a a leg legislation that could actually essentially be voted on by the entire p by the entire House. But you know the problem now is on the Democratic side because there are actually twenty, twenty five anti-Israel Democrats who don't want to vote for u you know, wouldn't wouldn't necessarily support a bipartisan process in which you could have Ukraine and Taiwan and Israel aid.

So now you have an issue on the far left of the Democratic Party that makes it a lot more complicated.

So, boy, it's going to be a tricky, tricky dance for Mike Johnson. I think he's signaled that he does want to have some kind of way to get this through, get the foreign aid through. But boy, he's facing opposition in his own party, and now the Democrats are catering to their far left and their party. Yeah, I hope he gets a standalone. I believe the Ukraine needs to be funded.

They fight like warriors. All they want is the weapons. Josh, thanks so much. Appreciate it. Thanks, Brian.

All right, Allison Esposito at the bottom of the hour, and we'll get in some calls. You can also write me BriankilMe.com. Keep in mind, April 27th, I'll be in beautiful Nevada, Henderson, Nevada. Find out more at BriankilMe.com. Diving deep into today's top stories, it's Brian Kilmead.

The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmey. You running for president. People talk about it. You've talked about it.

Yes. Are you going to ever seriously run for president? As of now, no. That's not my intention. Will, I'm not a politician.

I'm not into politics. I care deeply about our country. I'm a patriot, and I believe you are too, as well. And right now my desire and my priorities are my my babies and school drop offs and pickups and things like that. That's important to me.

I also feel like in the spirit of bringing people together and bringing our country together, I don't know if that's the right move at this point. Possible. I I I don't know.

So truth is of now, you said. As of now. Our colleague Will Kane talking to the Rocky yesterday before WrestleMania on Sunday in Philadelphia, and he talked about the future in politics. He doesn't shut it down. And here's why.

When you look at the Rockets, you got two young kids. You don't want to run for office unless you're around DeSantis with two young kids. And he said, we'll see what happens. And he looked to he should just talk to Schwarzenegger, say, is it worth it? And talk to Trump when he's done if they are on speaking terms.

Is it worth it? He came out and said he made a mistake. He should never have endorsed Joe Biden. He said, I will not be endorsing this time. And he said, why?

And basically his follow-up was because it divides people. Half the people are happy I did it, the other half aren't. And I don't want to be dividing people. I don't want people thinking I'm not on their team because I am. Because what he would do, this guy could hop on a no labels ticket right away and be a factor.

Because remember, he's a physics man, not just an athlete. The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead. I'm getting all those I mean. Message from my uh Neywat.

that these people are horrible. You know that. coming with a motorcycle seven, eight motorcycle. Every night, the day and night, coming in and out through my garage, then I got tired, I put the as you see, I put the heavy gate over there to stop them because they used to go with the uh their car, motorcycle in and out, in and out.

So I try to s I I've been doing my best. And I'm communicating with the fifty two precincts and they've been helping me. All that way? Here we are now, you know. I hope they are out.

I feel so bad for this guy. This is a Bronx homeowner who was renting out the basement and the first floor of his apartment, and there were illegal immigrants just squatted. They take over the basement. Every time we went in to get them out, they had motorcycles. They made a mess of the whole place.

There were guns. There was drugs. There was loud noises. Everyone was complaining. The whole block was complaining.

They would threaten them. When they called the cops, they said, well, we have to actually see him doing this. And squatting is so complicated in New York. It leans towards the squatters.

So Um So So, a couple of things.

So, we just saw that when the cops actually did get in and they get these guys out, eight of them, including a small child and a woman. They get let out. And now, some of them, thanks to ICE, scooped up and brought some of them back. But even though they're up for murder charges and theft and burglary, they still, no cash bail, they are gone. Even though the DA in New York did recommend it, they get bailed.

Allison Esposito knows the reality, 25-year veteran, the NYPD, candidate for the New York Congressional District, 18. That Pat Ryan is a Democratic incumbent there. Allison, welcome back. Good morning, sir. Thank you so much for having me.

I always appreciate being here. No problem. But we do have to tell everybody that in New York, New Jersey, we have just had a 4.8 earthquake. I did not feel it. And did you guys feel it?

Josh, you felt it? Joshua. I can crush it a little bit too, but not by standing, but by having my arms on the desk, the desk was shaking. Really? Okay, did you feel it?

I felt it up here. Yeah, I felt it up here. I'm in my home in Goshen and it's the first time I have to be honest with you, it was a little freaky. It's the first time I've ever been in an earthquake and I honestly thought maybe I was getting an oil delivery and the truck was coming into my house out of control. And it it just felt like I had had too much coffee and somebody was kind of shaking me.

It was it was kind of a little bit of a surreal feeling, I have to admit.

So Do you know of any injuries or anybody that was rattled? I'm looking, we have a bunch of. Monitors up from different places around the state. I don't see it. Do you see anything?

No, I'm not seeing anything from up here, but I was even saying before, I mean, it's almost kind of a surreal, kind of a cool experience. And then it sets in, oh my God, somebody may have gotten hurt in this. And they could have been loading stock shelves and the legs gave out on a shelf and something happened.

So I'm praying that no one was injured. 4.8 is a pretty substantial size earthquake.

So I'm just praying that nobody was injured. Yeah, so far, so good.

So, Allison, we bumped in on a Bronx homeowner and we saw this horrendous story with them hauling eight people out of there with guns. They've had previous charges, most of them from Venezuela, all up to no good. What a squalor they were living in with a child. But the cops were saying they could not go in. Uh your thoughts.

So New York is once again on the wrong side of the issues. And it's a squatter-friendly, tenant-friendly kind of an environment, although you can't call them tenants. Uh you had a seven-year-old kid here. This is this is this is Absolutely a horrible situation. We have an extreme problem at our southern border, and New York laws are not helping anything.

Whether it's the illegal squatters that are happening over and over again in the New York area, and it's not just New York City, it's outside of the city as well. The police officers' hands are tied. A lot of times, they're told it's a civil issue. These people are holding these homes hostage. And you have serial squatters.

It's not even just illegals. I'm seeing different things being brought to light on different news channels where you have an individual that's been doing this for two years plus. We have to make sure And again, it's not rocket science. This is 101. When you're dealing with crime, you have to hold criminals accountable for their actions.

And you know, you have up and down the country and the state, whether it's Biden, whether it's Hochul, whether it's my opponent Pat Ryan, whether it's Mayor Adams, Letitia James, they're not holding criminals accountable for their actions. And they don't want us to believe our own eyes. You know, everybody wants to say crime is down. This is a perception. Kathy Hochul goes, don't believe the perception.

Crime is actually down, but it's not. It's not. And inflation is not. Maybe inflation is down, but it's from a 40-year high. You know, this is smoke and mirrors.

Inflation under Biden hit a staggering 17%. And under Trump, it was what? uh 1.4.

Now the inflation is five. And they're saying it's down, but it's from a 40-year high. It's the same thing. It adds on. Oh, gas, right?

Of course. Gas prices are down. You know, that's great, but we're down from $5 a gallon plus. In 2019, it was $2 a gallon. It's now $85 a barrel.

We're going to feel it. But you know what they've done? And I think this is so evil. They've told you can pump Venezuela. We're now going to lift some sanctions.

Hey, Iran, you could pump oil so it gets the world price down. It would be over $100.

So I want you to hear, when you talk about recidivism, that's exactly what John Schell has said. He's a police commander in New York City, Cut 16. This puts our cops in danger. We shouldn't be dealing with this a second time. We've already dealt with it once by great work.

And now some great work again, but it also could be the opposite where we get hurt and the community gets hurt. That's the other thing, too. When people walk out of jail or walk out of our release on recognizing or supervisors' release, The community suffers also. And we're seeing that takeover nonstop. We also have a situation where you have a sanctuary city, and the mayor has come out and said, I want to change that, and the governor has indicated they'd be open to that.

But how do you possibly deal with this left-wing legislature in New York City and a Democratic-dominated chamber in both the Senate and the Assembly in Albany? Again, this is all smoke and mirrors. John Schell and I were commanders together. He's a friend of mine. He's a great leader.

And he is speaking the absolute truth. But Kathy Hochl, Mayor Adams, Pat Ryan, people who have determined that we are going to be a sanctuary state or sanctuary city. Pat Ryan made Ulster County a sanctuary county when he was the Ulster County executive. You know, he has voted against border security over and over again. Kathy Hochul famously was being cute and going, Oh, give us your cold, you're tired, you're hungry.

And now all of a sudden, it's too much, we can't deal with it. It's the same thing with the crime numbers. They want to say that crime is down, but if you look from 2023 to 2019, it's up overall over 33%. Grand larceny is up over 194%. Murder's up over 23%.

This is all smoke and mirrors. And this is all. Failed. Far left Democrat policies that are just allowing the recidivism in New York City is ridiculous. You have, you catch someone, you put them before a judge, they have to atone for the crime that they have committed, and then the judge is saying no, or the bail laws are saying no, put them back out on the streets.

And John Schell is 1,000% right. All it's doing is having more police interaction with these criminals over and over and over again. Look at the homicide of hero now detective Diller. By career criminals that were let out after attempted murder, after weapons charges, after criminal sale charges, and then in possession of an illegal firearm with a defaced serial number. These aren't legal, lawful gun owners committing these crimes.

And our officers are doing a phenomenal job getting them off the street. And then they're putting them right back on.

So, Americans have to stand up. We have to let our voices be heard. We have to vote these far-left politicians out. Whether it's the New York City Council, the state legislature, the Senate, and the Assembly in Albany with their one-party super-majority rule, you have. Carl Hastings saying, you know what, it's not a deterrent.

I don't want people in jail. This is ludicrous. They want an empty Rikers. Yeah, and by the way, I'm just going to give people some updates on the earthquake. It was a 4.7, 4.8 epicenter.

The epicenter is thought to be in Lebanon, New Jersey, 50 miles west of Manhattan, but the shaking was felt all the way from Philadelphia over to Boston. We'll keep you up to date on that.

So, Greg Abbott came to town to speak to the Republicans. Were you there? No. No, I wasn't. I was actually at an event in Dutchess County.

All right, so here's what he said to New Yorkers: cut four. He also needs to educate Americans and New Yorkers why he's spending their taxpayer money to house migrants here illegally because of Joe Biden's open border policies. Four years ago, New York nor America had to do that because President Trump had in place policies that denied illegal entry. Joe Biden is directly violating the laws of the United States of America, and that's exactly why Texas has a border crisis and why New York has a border crisis. That crisis is not going to end unless and until Joe Biden enforces the laws of the United States.

What Texas is doing is actually enforcing those laws. And by the way, they're suing to stop Texas from doing that. Allison, really, New York is spending billions of dollars, and I'm going to talk more about that shortly. Best of luck in your run against Pat Ryan, Allison Esposito, 25-year veteran of the NYPD and a candidate for this New York congressional district. Allison, thanks so much.

Thank you, sir. You got it. Well, we come back. Madison Allworth joins us. She's out on the street.

Tell us not only what was rattling around in New York City, but also how much this migrants crisis is costing all these major cities in America, and ultimately you. Learning something new every day on The Brian Kilmeat Show. He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Kilmeade. This gentleman here is not Hippy American Dream.

Most of the migrants in New York City are here to work, pursue that dream. Others are not. And what we say as a city is, We're a benevolent city. We'll give you everything we have. But if you're here committing violent crimes, you're on guns.

No, you should forfeit that right and you sh you should have your day in court. And then you should remove from our country. NYPT Commander John Schell just talked about the raid on those squatters in that Bronx house, all illegal immigrants, all were previous charges, weapons charges, attempted murder charges. You saw a seven-year-old child there. With me right now is Madison Allworth, all over this story for Fox Business and Fox News.

Madison, great to see you. Great to see you too, Brian. Earthquake, we're still looking into it. I didn't feel it. Did you feel it?

I did not feel it. I know I sound disappointed. Hopefully, everyone is safe, so I think it's okay to be disappointed. Growing up in New Jersey, living in New York, we don't feel earthquakes all that often. I would have liked to experience them.

Right. They said they expect aftershocks. You wonder if it's related to Taiwan and what they experienced. Let's talk about what you were just talking about.

Okay. Here in New York City, what's the attraction to New York City? Why do they keep coming here? The number one reason is that we are a sanctuary city.

So, what that means is, if you are here and you do not have housing and you ask for it, you get it. It was started to help New Yorkers that had fallen on hard times.

So, presumably, you've paid taxes into the system, you had housing, and something happened, and now you're homeless. And then the city's going to take care of you. What it's turned into with the migrant crisis is folks show up, have obviously never contributed financially to the city, and then are immediately on the dole, if you will. They get housing, they're getting food, they're getting services like health care, and if you're young, education. Then the city adds more on top of that.

Mayor Adams is convinced it's not encouraging more folks to come, but I totally disagree. I would too. And I talk to some of these folks, these migrants, the asylum seekers, and we ask them, Why do you come to New York? And it'll be a combo of things: I have family here, or my friends are here, and they told me to come. It's like anything.

If you go to a good restaurant, you tell your friends and family, come to this restaurant. If you know someone who's come from Venezuela and they live in New York, and they're like, Yeah, I'm getting. Housing. My kids are going to school. If we get sick, we go to the hospital.

They take better care of us. Why would you not also come?

So let's look at what you've done. You've compiled these stats for the city.

So I see that by the summer of 2025, it's projected that New York will be spending $10.6 billion on illegals. Hochul is asking for $2.4 billion next year, next fixed fiscal year. You know what May Adams said? I'm still $600 million short of what I'm going to need to take care of them. And they're blaming guys like Governor Abbott of Texas.

I mean, it's clearly our border policy that is making this a problem. It absolutely is. And that's why you've kind of seen Mayor Eric Adams butt heads with the Biden administration. It seems that there is bad blood between the two because he has come out and said what many Democrat leaders will not say, which is that this is a border problem and that this will not end unless we fix the border. They're also doing this experimental program, give them debit cards.

It's going to cost us $53 million. Got a family of four, let's say, with two kids and a husband and a wife, $350 a week. Yeah. So one of the things that we hit on our report yesterday, because you hear these big numbers, billions, millions of dollars, and it's kind of hard as an everyday person to conceptualize that.

So I broke it down to what is each individual migrant or migrant family getting? And it's quite shocking because it's stuff that I would think a lot of New Yorkers would love to get.

So this $53 million debit card program, it's. Cash on a card. Every month. For an individual, around $1,000, for a family, $1,400 each and every month. And it's supposed to be used for baby supplies and food, but it's a debit card.

The city has assured reporters, folks, that. It's only going to be used for food. But how do you track cash? You can't. That's the cash, Bitcoin, all of these things.

Like you can track on credit cards, but on a debit card, it seems very unlikely that they would actually be able to crack down.

So look in Los Angeles. You think New York's an attraction. They are offering health care in Los Angeles. Full coverage health insurance. California, not even Los Angeles.

Yes, full coverage health insurance under the state's Medi-Cal system. Yeah, full health care. You say 700,000 individuals. $1,000 per month in guaranteed income. How could you have guaranteed income for illegal immigrants?

So the $1,000 in guaranteed income is interesting. Los Angeles has been piloting this, giving it to different communities.

So it's not, they're testing out universal income. And those programs, they release new ones and bring in new groups. It's immigration status blind.

So you do not need to be a legal resident to qualify for free money. In proportion, you outlined Denver is paying a huge price. Absolutely. So Denver, each migrant that comes in costs the city $1,600 to $2,000. They are also a sanctuary city.

The interesting thing is, all these leaders. They tout their sanctuary status. And then, once the population comes, they can't handle it.

So, Denver has, and this is a cold state. It's coming into spring, so it's a little bit better. But when you don't have housing in a place like Denver, it's a real problem.

So, they had to open up emergency hotels and the like. They actually shut down four hotels. Because of the cost, and they were able to make a cut to their budget. I think of about $6 million, I want to say.

So, you wrote to $60 million has been spent so far, $180 million allocated to food and shelter, 10% of the city's annual budget in migrant aid. And we've seen the Democratic mayor come out and say, please don't come. And if you're here, please go. That's the thing. Go to New York.

Yes. And then New York, you know, that another program that New York offers that we're paying for as New York City taxpayers are free flights.

So if any migrant comes to Asylum Seeker Services and says, I want to go to Denver, New York City, aka you and me will pay for their flight to anywhere in the U.S. And they'll get on a plane with that ID and they'll fly. And I saw this left-wing mayor come out of Chicago and say, we could take 700,000. We're just going to need some money. 700,000 legal immigrants, and they need to be able to work.

Madison, we're in a crazy world. We really are. And the unfortunate thing is, I don't see the way out of it just yet. And of course, you factor in the earthquake with it. We're shaking and making.

God dad, it's another typical day. Madison Or, thanks so much. Keep it to your Brian Kilman's day. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian.

In Kill Mead. Hi everyone, welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kill Me Show. We're just thinking about it. Everything's the same day, same thing, you know, the other typical day, except of course for the eclipse on Monday and the earthquake in New York that started in New Jersey. On Friday.

So it happened about 45 minutes ago. It's thankfully, there doesn't seem to be any ramifications. No one seems to be hurt. We have not heard any reports of that. And we hope obviously that stays the same way.

Matt Taibbi is a journalist, one of our favorite guests, great investigative journalists, New York Times best-selling author. Julie Benderis, too, Fox News anchor and author. She's going to be with me on One Nation on Saturday. Don't forget to tune in Saturday at 9 p.m. Amongst our great guests will be Kevin McCarthy as well as Henry Queyar.

And we'll be getting to that shortly. And before we get to Matt, let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. How is his support unwavering, but you're also reconsidering policy choices? Both can be true. They cannot be true.

They're completely different things. No. And he made it clear to the Prime Minister in his call that our support for Israel's self-defense remains ironclad. Right, John Kirby. We don't believe that.

Biden and Beebe battle it. Out as Gaza war mistake is more Dems leaving Israel's side. We go over the fallout and what the Israelis need to do now to finish the job versus Hamas. Number two. Did they ever threaten you?

Yes, they threatened me. Of course. Uh last time even the officer was there and they were sitting down against us and they were showing me something like this. And that is the homeowner who has gotten had to deal with the fact that he had squatters in his house, all illegal immigrants, many with guns, weapons charges, attempted murder, as well as illegal drugs. That is sadly something happening in major cities like Atlanta, like New York, like Dallas.

Not only is it evil, but it also have illegal immigrants. And we also have the issue of recidivism and no bail law, allowing these cops to stay in the streets and keeping everybody in danger. Number one. I'm going to offer him a stay in one of the Hercs so he can see what he has created. The invitation is nothing more than a gimmick.

That is the battle between Mayor Adams and Governor Abbott, the border war. Texas and New York battle it out when it comes to illegal immigrants. As Mayor Adams seeds, New York's been forced to take in over 40,000 illegal immigrants, courtesy of Texas, and over 100,000 nationwide. That's the price you pay for a sanctuary city and a right to shelter status. We debate the number one issue in America right now and other elements in and around that crisis.

Joining us now is Matt Taibbi. Matt, first off, as a New Jersey guy, did you feel the earthquake? I didn't. I just heard about it from your producer and uh It's crazy. I'm in Wayne, New Jersey right now.

I live a little bit farther west, but didn't feel it.

So it's wild. Yeah, it's the largest since 1890. And also, New York had said, they say it's a 4.6, 4.7.

So thankfully, you know, some of our channels were shaking. Fox business was shaking. We're in the 15th floor. We were not.

So we'll see what happens. Matt, first off, let's talk something less significant than life and death, and how about politics? When we come to it. Let's talk about what you've decided to do, first off. You've left the Rolling Stone, you've left a lot of mainstream publications.

What did you try to do with your career?

Well, I uh part of it was This is embarrassing to admit, but a little bit of a financial decision because I saw that the mainstream press was failing and losing audience in part because it was becoming more doctrinaire and politicized. This happened a lot during the twenty sixteen political campaign. And I thought the subscription based model at Substack, where a company I was familiar with, I thought it would work. I was one of the first people to go there, but I wasn't kicked out of media, my my old job. It just happened to work out that way.

But it's been great, and it's allowed me to have a lot more independence than I had before, although Rolling Stone was better than most, I would say, when I was there.

So, Matt, you're now with Racket News. You are Racket, you form Racket News, right? Did we get you on Substack? Yeah, I'm at Racket.news. All right.

So we're talking about censorship and we're talking about we're getting to this election season. I am worried about the government, the shadow banning, the Zuckerbergs. Is there any reason to believe that what you were able to expose on the Twitter files, and what's been exposed with everything I just mentioned, that maybe people will back off and let this play out without putting their hand on the scale this time? This election. Already in this election cycle, we've seen That basically everybody except Joe Biden has experienced some kind of internet censorship.

And that includes people like Vivek Ramaswamy, who was taken off LinkedIn for a while. RFK Jr. is constantly being deplatformed from various places. Donald Trump obviously still has bans in certain sites.

So there's that. And then there's the additional problem of. the Election Integrity Partnership, which is something that existed in twenty twenty. And I think they clearly want to do it again. This year, there's been a big media push on Sixty Minutes, NBC and in the New York Times just in the last week about that.

So it that tells me that they really want to do that program again. And that was that was a vir a big election year censorship effort. People always talk about what Russia tried to do in 2016. It looks like it's something that China wants to do this time. How concerned should every American be about what China wants to do, playing on our emotions, on our partisanship and maybe letting them pick the candidate that's best for them?

What? And I think you have to look at this from historical perspective. Modern America, modern Washington is the Rome of the world right now. I mean, uh everybody in the world is trying to influence the United States constantly for one reason or another. There's tons of foreign money pouring into the capital.

So there's always going to be influence and this is just something that American media consumers have to be aware of as they read the news. It you know, you have to educate yourself about why people might be saying certain things. If they work for a think tank, who funds the think tank, that That kind of thing. And yes, you know, the foreign governments will try to do that. The technology for identifying those kinds of bots, though, has gotten a lot better.

So RFK made a lot of news this week when he was sitting on CNN and on Fox, and he was trying to figure out his role and why Democrats are going so aggressively after him. And then he was asked about Joe, Donald Trump and his threat to democracy. And here's what he said: cut 31. President, President Biden has done something that no other president in history has done, which is to order media, particularly the social media, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Google, to censor his political opponents. I can say this because I just won a lawsuit in the Federal Court of Appeals now before the Supreme Court, because he began censoring me 37 hours after he took the oath of office, swearing to defend the Constitution.

White House officials were on email with Facebook saying to them, you got to take down his post. If you have a president who can censor his political opponents, he is licensed for any kind of atrocity. That is a genuine threat to our democracy. And CNN was flabbergasted by that statement repeated the next day. You weren't.

No, I mean, of course not. I I I agree with him wholeheartedly. I I actually caught a lot of the same kind of flack for making similar comments. you know, it's heretical. Uh if you grew up uh you know sort of a liberal person like myself, they consider you part of the club and they they don't believe that you should ever stray from it.

Uh but what Kennedy was saying is absolutely correct. Uh if The government has the capability and the ambition to control the flow and distribution of media and political thought. That is extraordinarily dangerous. And the reason that it's more dangerous even than the hypothetical worst case scenario with Donald Trump is that they have obviously the capability to pull off anything. They've already done it.

They've already removed a sitting president from these Internet platforms and they've expressed a willingness to do it again. That is an extraordinarily serious thing. I think people are underestimating how bad that is. And that's why I totally agree with him. And he's right.

You know, the day that Joe Biden got into office, they were trying to get one of his posts, you know, factually accurate posts off of Facebook. That's crazy. It is. Now, tell everybody why we should care about the Murphy versus Missouri case.

Well, the th this lawsuit, Murphy v. Missouri, which was originally called Missouri v. Biden, it's sort of a combination of a lawsuit filed by a bunch of uh a group of doctors and some conservative uh journalists and the material that came out of the Twitter files. And if Uh lower court judges have already said that the kinds of behaviors that we exposed in Twitter files uh violates the First Amendment and the government isn't allowed to do it. If that's overturned, if the silver Yeah.

Quashes those rulings, it will give the government explicit permission to censor. And that will be extremely dangerous. And that's why this is a very, very high stakes case. It's a historic First Amendment case, and we should all be very worried about the outcome of it. But when you heard the arguments, there's not a lot of optimism, not pessimism, not a lot of optimism.

That they're looking to rule with Missouri. Do you get that same conclusion?

Well One thing I've learned about covering courts over the years, and I haven't done a lot of Supreme Courts, but Yeah. Never you can you can never really tell what judges are thinking just by their questioning, but if you go by their questioning, they were signaling that they were going to rule against Missouri. And they were signaling that it was going to be a blowout, frankly, that it was going to be something like sixty one six of three or seven to two against.

Now you never know, but there were not a lot of questions that were helpful to the plaintiffs, and they didn't seem to have read most of the case evidence, which was Not true at the appellate level, where I and I attended that hearing, the judges read that stuff and were outraged. That wasn't true at the Supreme Court.

So we'll see what happens. Do you see yourself going back to Congress, back to the House before their majority, before the election? I mean, I would if I was called, if I have if I have something to to say. I mean, I I think those hearings on censorship did a lot of good, actually, in popularizing some of the facts about these issues.

So I'd be happy to do it. It's not a normal thing for journalists, but yeah, of course. I would love to. Famously, when you were on being testifying, IRS came knocking at your door. Have you.

Have you had a follow-up to that?

Well, actually, thanks to Jim Jordan, the Judiciary Committee Chair, they followed up with the Treasury and not only did they get a lot of information about what actually happened, but they managed to wrestle a policy change out of the Treasury Department, essentially barring home visits for all but a couple of thousand times a year. They were doing it much more more often than that.

So uh you know that out of that incident something good happened. And I'm not in trouble with the IRS anymore, not that I know of.

So that's good. It's incredible. I mean, that was insane. Matt, where do we find your columns? Yeah, just at Racket.news on Substack, and I'm at the At MTIED on Twitter.

All right. Go get him, Matt. Thanks so much. Have a great weekend. YouTube, Brian.

Skicker. All right, well, we found this earthquake story. We had a 4.6, 4.7, depending on where you are. The center part was Northern New Jersey, but New York felt it. I didn't, but on the first floor, it looks like they did.

I'm looking at Fox Business. And when Stuart Varney was on the air with General Keene, it looked like the building was shaking. I don't know. Do you think, Pete, that they might postpone the Yankee game? Isn't this a home opener today?

Yeah, I mean, I'm sure they're doing it like they're doing in this building and everywhere else. They're probably inspecting the stadium right now just to make sure structurally. I mean, we're we're we're seeing like we're doing while we have so many cameras throughout the city. We're taking as many pan shots as possible in New Jersey. I don't see any damage.

So yeah, I mean, if it was 4.8 in Jersey, by the time it got here, I'm wondering if that was the initial emails we were getting that said 2.8.

So maybe. Obviously by the time the reverberations felt here wasn't nearly as bad. All right. When we come back, I'll take some calls and welcome in Julie Benderis. A couple of things.

Coming up on April 27th, go to Briankilme.com. I want to see you at Henderson, Nevada, talking about History, Liberty, and Laughs Tour. It's going to be a motivational, inspirational afternoon on stage, and you're going to have fun. We reenact great moments in history, talk about what's happening in the world, and maybe even weave in some earthquake stories. Who knows?

VIP opportunities remain. Briankilme.com. Also, don't forget One Nation Fox News channel Saturday night at 9 o'clock. Date early. Come back and watch it together.

I've never seen it. It's the most romantic show in the history of Fox News. Back in a moment. Educating, entertaining, enlightening. You're with Brian Kilmead.

Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. There's no reason why New York should not also have a governor. Who believes not only In legal immigration, but also stands against illegal immigration into the United States of America. You can have a mayor.

Who stands for your law enforcement officers and does not allow on the streets? Criminals who are repeat criminals who go out and kill law enforcement officers like Officer Diller. You can have elected officials. who cut taxes. cut through red tape regulations and restore the luster of the economy of New York in Turn New York.

and to the land of opportunity. that Texas is right now. Right. And I tell you, Governor Abbott's got a strong story to tell. You know, had Trump not run, I'm sure he would have run.

And I'm not sure. I don't think he's term limited, but Dan Patrick would probably run, and he's done a fantastic job. But Governor Abbott's got a few things going on. Republicans want him everywhere because he has done probably the best political and rational. move overall for the country, but immediately for himself and his party.

And he said, I've been telling you about illegal immigration. Governor Rick Perry has been telling you about illegal immigration. And we told you what a problem it was. But you don't care in Washington.

So I'm sending the problem to you. New York Sanctuary City, we're calling you out. Take 'em in. They can't handle it. Chicago, New York, Denver.

Take 'em in, mayors. Come on. You think El Paso is the only one that should take 'em? Forget it. You see that border policy?

We're going to make our own wall. You don't want to build a wall? We're going to build a wall. Constantina wire, makeshift. We're going to use railroad cars, whatever we need.

We're going to build our wall. And then the federal government reveals itself by suing him. If you don't sue somebody that's trying to seal a border that you want sealed, you think Trump would have sealed a Democratic, sued a Democratic? Mayor or governor that was trying to seal their own border, not in a million years. You know why?

Because that was his goal. To seal the border.

So Governor Rapid in doing this made it a national problem. Governor DeSantis in sending him to Martha's Vineyard made it a rich person's problem. And then to see how they overreacted with it and they're still suing to find out how they ended up on that beautiful island where you need a million dollars just to get a Starbucks? That's the he made this a national issue, and I give him credit. When those buses showed up half full in front of the Vice President's House at the National Observatory, I thought, wow, forty people, middle of nowhere.

Didn't call ahead of time. Just a bit of a show. And now, a year later, two years later, he's a rock star. And now it is the number one issue in the country. And believe me.

Nobody wants the issue. People want to solve this issue. But I don't want anyone solving the issue just to get elected so they can go back to their evil policies. And that's what they are: flat-out evil. And Mayor Eric Adams, who was there to greet everyone when they first came, is now overwhelmed.

And now we can't afford it. I see it all over the city. Drugs, guns. We know the Venezuelans that beat up the two cops.

Now we know the squatters and the Bronx with the guns and weapons charges that were let out. We see the Venezuelan gang members who gave us the finger, and guess what? As they were let out and without fail. And there they're gone.

So it's a national issue. We're gonna come back and I'll take you calls on that. We'll stop at Odessa, Texas, and see how you feel about your governor being here and following the story with the earthquake. We got a 4.7 in New York. From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Killmead.

Are you still 100% with Israel? And what's your advice to Netanyahu Bihan? Get it over with in a hurry.

Well, that's all the advice you can give. I mean, that's the advice. You got to get it over with, and you have to get back to normalcy. And I'm not sure that I'm loving the way they're doing it because You gotta have victory. You have to have a victory.

And it's taking a long time and The other thing is, I hate they put out tapes all the time. Every night they're releasing tapes of a building falling down. They shouldn't be releasing tapes like that. They're doing that's why they're losing the PR war. They Israel is absolutely losing the PR war.

So, the President of the United States on with great you, you at great guy, unbelievable show, talking to him about what your policy is on Israel. You know, you moved the embassy, you created the Abraham Accords, you're the one where they want to name a block after in Tel Aviv, rather Jerusalem.

So, you did the thing where you said, Golden Heights, we're not standing in your way of taking over the West Bank.

So, you did all that. And it resulted in deals with Bahrain, by the way, orchestrated Oman, Sudan, UAE. Orchestrated by Saudi Arabia. They were next, and they still might be next because nobody likes Iran. Iran's a problem.

Everybody recognizes it. And you know who did who recognized it? Jerry Kushner. And he said, listen, this is the problem. I could game plan against this.

They laughed at him, and it worked.

So I like what he said, though. He said, you know, the optics look terrible, even though the cause is just. You have to answer and you have to demolish Hamas. You look at these images and you see these kids and you see that civilians lost their lives and you allow Hamas to get to win the PR war. And then Hamas loves when there's a fracture or a chasm between the U.S.

and Israel. They live for this. And that's their ultimate goal: to make everybody isolate, everybody leave. Everybody leave the alliance with Israel. A couple of things.

One of the aid workers that tragically was killed. Uh in that missile strike On the On the A truck that was delivering food for the Palestinians. was a Polish uh citizen. Poles are mad at them. Australian citizens they're mad at them.

Even Germany has showed an impatience with Israel. But Donald Trump said, look. Got to get done quickly. I'm sure there's a way to be more precise to show it. I actually don't believe that.

The people you talk to are war colleges. The military people say, Do you know the environment that they're in? Do you know that Hamas sets up in schools and hospitals and children's centers and nursery schools? That's what they do. And do you know the Washington Free Beacon is reporting Washington Times is reporting that Hamas is now assassinating Palestinians and make it look Either Sebastian make it look like Israelis are doing it.

So when this came down, you have Secretary of State Kirby saying this better be the last time. or else you're going to lose your raid. And Trump came out and said, yeah, I'm for the cause, but just do it quicker. Here's General Jack Keane. He said, I liked it after the tragic incident, which happens in war all the time.

He likes the investigation, Cut 20. Give Israel some credit. This is a horrible thing that happened, certainly. But within 24 hours, they admit they made a mistake, they apologized for it, and began an investigation. They've conducted a preliminary investigation, not the final one.

They've relieved two officers. They reprimanded two other officers. And the fact that they relieved someone and reprimanded someone also is a credit to them. And I think what it's going to come down to likely is certainly they misidentified the WCK vehicles as being Hamas. It'll come down to maybe what was the evidence you had that this was Hamas?

Why did you pull the trigger thinking this was Hamas? What triggered you in terms of this was an okay shoot to begin with? And then you correct it. Um if you remember We have the best military in the world, the most precision, the best intelligence, the best people. But in the uproar of Afghanistan, after the explosion at Abbey Gate.

It was America. That killed the wrong people. And we took weeks to get have General Milley come out and say what happened. Immediately they were taking a bow saying, We killed the bomber and a future bomber. And then we said, Wait a second.

Upon further review, we killed a guy and his family who were loading water jugs into his car. Did Israel come out and condemn us and say get that evacuation over with? That's what allies do. If you have a problem with the way they're conducting a war, General Biden, General Jill Biden should not be intriguing. The garage band guitarist Anthony Blinken should not be critiquing the IDF.

You get your military people around you, you discuss it, and then maybe it leaks out to a friendly news organization what went on. But instead, it comes out for everyone, use future voters in the Arab world, Muslim world, to say, They made a mistake. And our aid is going to be in the balance. It might be conditioned after this. To the President's credit, he did division to deliver 1,000 MKA 82, 500-pound bombs, 1,000 small-diameter bombs, and fuses for MK80 bombs, all authorized and granted by Congress several years before the latest hostilities jumped up between Israel and Hamas.

Good. And then you're going to need more. They're the good guys. They have to eradicate this threat. They can't leave two battalions in Rafah.

Sorry. They say he's demanding a ceasefire now. You know what, Beebe? You're almost 80 years old. This is your last stint.

Stand up to him. James, you're listening on KCRS in Odessa, Texas. Hey, James. Hi, Brian. Great listening to you, brother.

Thank you.

So, the fact that I got on tells me that the subject matter I talked with him about is good for you to go with. We're talking 2024, right?

So, what's on your mind?

So I don't think To me, it's If I'm a politician, I weigh things three ways. Does it help me? Does it hurt me? Or is it neutral? Nothing to gain, nothing to lose.

I personally think that there's nothing to gain for the Trumpster to have a debate with Biden. Nothing to gain, really. I think there's only things to lose. What would any what would what would be exposed in that debate That everyone already doesn't know. But James, I see what you're saying, but to see it dueled out.

For example, look at the Middle East policy. Look at what happened to Ukraine. One people gave him javelins and armed him up, and the other people gave him MREs. And blankets. And then you talk about domestic policies.

One had massive tax reform. The other one raised taxes on everyone. Even though drilling's high, it's not nearly capable of what it should be. He wouldn't even be able to defend his drilling, the stopping of the pipelines. All this stuff playing out together on stage.

But the problem is, to your point, James, the bar is so low for the President. That if he does anything, like just scream his way through, like he did at the State of the Union address, they'll say, okay, good enough.

Well, and another thing, Brian, that I'm thinking back to is that The debates for the twenty twenty election I think the first one which In my opinion, Trump did totally wrong and looked totally foolish. I think that cost him a lot of early votes. And Brian, that ha if I remember right, The night that, that happened in a lot of states, the next day was when early voting started. And I personally think all the polls the good critical poles you can look at Says that Trump lost a lot of the women vote in 2020 that he got in 2016. I personally think a lot of that was from the first debate.

Early voting started the very even because of the pandemic. And I would say this: he did not do well, but then it turned out he had COVID. Do you believe that?

So he was actually on stage with COVID. And I think a couple of days later he'd be in the hospital.

So th I'm not giving excuses, but that's kind of a legitimate excuse. He was extremely agitated, and that really is sign of it. He had low grade fever. And I don't know.

So That was not a strong debate for him, and Chris Wallace did not help jumping in on the side, intentional or not, jumping in on the side of Joe Biden. We'll see what happens. I don't really right now I would bet against Joe Biden agreeing to debate unless he's clearly losing and has nothing to lose by trying. Julie Benderis joins us next. Brian, kill me, Choe.

Don't move. Newsmakers and Newsbreakers Hear it first on The Brian Kilmeat Show. A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Some of the failure.

Actually I acquired a nickname I'm very proud of. I am Joe Bidenopoulos.

So the Joe Biden with uh is celebrating what is it, Greek New Year, Greek Easter or something? Do you know Pete? Is it the Orthodox? Is it Greek Orthodox Easter, or is that later? No, that might be in May, so I'm off on that.

So he feels like he sends photo most time in Greek churches that he feels Greek.

So he slurred his way through that. With me right now is Julie Ben Darris. Not only was your car late, we were in an earthquake. We had a 4.7 in New York City. And did you feel it?

I didn't. Much like you, I was oblivious to the earthquake in New York City 2024. I was in a car. There were car accidents, but I don't think they were caused by that. It was actually a car fire, so there was no movement on the highways.

But it doesn't seem like outside anything happened because nobody's actually. Yeah, we just had the governor speak, said nothing. There's been no damage. But I know. You got to check the bridges.

I get it. You know, if you just blow this off and there's some structural damage, I mean, if you have a 4.7 and it hit New Jersey, rippled through Washington, through New York City, they felt it in Long Island.

So it's a big deal. They felt it in Philadelphia and Boston, but probably significantly here. And I'm not smart enough to know as if it had anything to do with happening in Taiwan. Um no. It does not have anything to do with Taiwan.

Not it's the same planet, we know. Yeah, it is the same planet. I'm not sure we're on the same planet, but yeah, that hurts my feelings. Yeah, yeah, no. I mean, I think that we're on the same planet, just not as the same planet as everybody else.

We view it differently that is listening to us right now.

Now, are you one of the people that care about the eclipse? I don't actually, but I mean, I appreciate people that do, but I just I don't care. I really honestly don't. But, you know, if somebody hands me a pair of glasses and I happen to be outside at the right time, then I guess I'll put them on. Here's the thing, Julia.

I laugh when people just say, oh, yeah, same thing, different day. Right. Yeah, same thing, different day, except every day couldn't be more different. And the earthquake on Friday and the eclipse on Monday. Besides that, it's a humdrum life for you.

Do you remember the last earthquake in New York City? No. So you probably didn't feel that either. No. You should come.

I mean, you should come out of hiding every once in a while.

Well, I was in Los Angeles. I do not remember the last earthquake. I was covering the Bernie Madoff trial. I was down at the federal courthouse and we were in the live truck and the van started rocking.

So that's how I felt it. And you and it was from the earthquake? Yeah, it was definitely. No, the Fox fans was not rocking for any other reason other than an earthquake.

So we might have had a bigger story. Yeah, actually there is a story that I can't really go into that right now. Google it. Yeah. I have I have an old s funny story actually.

And you in a van? Uh it was me in a van and a photographer. Yeah. And uh somebody from the Daily News decided to write some scandalous article. Yeah.

Wow. Yeah, no, I'm telling you. It was called If the Fox Fans Rockin', Don't Come Knockin'.

Well, here's the thing. Nobody reads the daily news. I mean, it literally at this point is a flyer. Yeah. Because no one writes for the daily news either.

So, all they do is they try to kill Trump, too.

So, a couple of things are going on I think are pretty significant. We are going to be on One Nation this weekend. I am. Saturday at nine o'clock. I can't wait.

Are you ready? I am so excited.

Now, my advice to people is to date, but date early. Because, can you do that as an adult? Can you get, can I encourage America to date at 6 p.m. Eastern? Home by 8:30.

Right. Is there anything more romantic than watching my show on a show? Plus, eating at 8 o'clock if you're going out to dinner, that's just not healthy.

So I think I would recommend everyone to have their dinner by 4:30 to 5:30 so that you have time to get home and get seated and get comfortable before. Can I say also, you said this? Yeah. You lost how many pounds? Oh, I've lost like 40 pounds.

And how did you do it? I work out like a fiend. I highly recommend divorce for anyone out there who's looking to show you. Even if you're in a healthy relationship? Yeah, no, absolutely.

Even if you love, just divorce for fun. It's cost-effective, it's stress-free, and it's an amazing diet. No, I actually have been finally just getting into working out in the morning. I've never done that in my entire life.

So I get up every single morning and I do these like intense hit classes five days a week, and I don't eat carbs anymore. And I actually have cut down on alcohol. You're not really much of a drinker. No, I'll have a beer with you, though. You don't have to cut out unless I see a problem.

Well, I've cut down from like six bottles a night to like two glasses. All right, so good.

So you're still escaping? Yeah. Just not. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, seriously, only cocktails on the weekends, no drinking during the week, and just a much healthier lifestyle.

I was talking about the squatting situation. I was talking about Governor Eric Adams going at it. Also, what's going on with Israel? But I do want to have some fun. And I ask you about this.

How do you feel about when I think the country should do this for birthdays, especially when you get older? Can we all register for birthdays, for anniversaries? Because if you want to do something for that, you don't want to get something they need. I mean, you want to get something they need. Right.

And yet you get something just to check a box.

So they had this woman who sparks debate over a friend's insane wedding registry. The woman took to Reddit to share her thoughts. And I want to get your thoughts. On the request from her fiancé, childhood pal, who she calls Josh in the wedding registry, posted in the wedding, shaming Reddit. The woman thinks that their friend is asking too much.

Now, one Reddit. to post my fanciest friend.

Okay, what is the what it is is this? Uh the last uh the gift cards, it would be uh twenty seven thousand twenty seven thousand five hundred dollars uh I'm not actually seeing the actual registry. This is going to be interesting. I'm glad we're working this out now. Yeah.

Oh my God, this isn't live TV. Right. Thankfully, it's live radio.

So I guess we're still working on that.

So this registry basically asks for cash. Yeah, this is so weird. First of all, I'm not a big celebrator of my birthday. If you want to take me to dinner, that's enough. But gifts and people that actually, you know, what annoys me is when people go on social media and they acknowledge their own birthdays, like they make an announcement, oh, it's my birthday today.

We're not children. I think once you become an adult, birthdays are a little overblown. What do you feel about celebrating birthdays? It clearly show you're getting older. I don't like that.

I never tell people how old I am. Like when I turned 28 in September, I didn't go and announce it on social media. Right. I don't need to tell people I'm young. But also, though I found out that that's solely an American thing.

The one thing that people have told me is, like, why do you make such a big deal of birthdays? Like, why are you celebrating people so much? Actually, I'm glad that it's an American thing.

Okay, here's the post- It's an annoying thing. Hey, ready? Here's the post. Honeymoon, they want you to vend me. Contribute what you wish.

They hope to get $5,000. The honeymoon card payment, contribute where you wish, $5,000. Honeymoon Resort, they're looking to get money for that. Be $1,000. Quantity would be four flights of $3,000.

Two months of home expenses, if you wanted to help them out. Delta Airlines gifts cards listed twice at $100 each, they'd be looking for that. Hotels.com gift cards they were looking for. They were hoping for $10,000. and legal fees Uh, for marriage, just all the things getting the getting the uh getting the marriage license.

They're hoping to get $500. They're looking for five Zola gift cards at $25. That's insanity.

So that was listed to all their friends. That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. I mean, actually, it gives me an idea. I would like to start a GoFundMe to fund my divorce. Right.

So I would maybe. No, I even if I need no, who does that? I actually felt uncomfortable r um listing a registry for my marriage, for example. I mean. I don't know, when you have a party I I don't expect people to bring me gifts.

So, when you get married, I again didn't I thought it was weird to just put out a registry and here, here's what I want. I want these plates and I want these forks and paper and I want these cloth napkins. Like, that's going to be no. See, this is where we're different. I'm not a gift receiver.

I am a gift giver. I hate receiving gifts. I don't receive gifts. But here's the thing. I don't say stress, but I actually think a lot about: well, how do I get the right gift to the person?

You know, how do I get something they need? It's not the easy days when they used to play sports. You just could.

So now You were looking at something where, if someone told me, hey, listen, I know you're coming to my birthday, I got 10 things, check one off. I'm all for that. It's like a win-win. I know exactly what I'm getting. They know exactly what they want.

And let's make this efficient. Let's cut out the emotion. Let's cut out the feeling. I'm about putting any time. I'm all about cutting out the feelings and all emotion.

Feelings and emotion are overrated. Right, but I'm emotional that you have given me your Saturday night to be on Saturday night. I'm actually very happy about that. Nine o'clock. Happiness is an emotion, right?

And April 27th. As far as I know. April 27th, I'm going to be in Henderson, Nevada. I hope you can join me. BrianKillme.com.
