And for all those who came out in Henderson, Nevada, thank you. It was great to see all of you in person and meet so many who care so much about the country. Appreciate that.

Next stop being Indianapolis in June and then one in July over in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. This hour going to be joined by Nicolae Ambrose, Maryland National Committee Woman, prominent member of the RNC. We're also going to be following all the breaking news that's happening throughout this show. But for now, let's get to the big three.

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

Now, the question becomes defining where does the line get drawn when it comes to what is an official act. I think A, that's going to take a long time for the court to decide, and B, after they decide it, they're going to probably send it back, and that will be additional delay. Trump trials, week number three. What to expect this week, what has been accomplished for the prosecution and the defense. As you can imagine, opinions vary widely.

I'm stuck on the question: what exactly is the charge? Number two. Because Biden's folks don't want him to debate. They don't want to give Trump that platform and risk exposing Biden like that on national TV. You also don't want him to say no because no is weak and no is fear.

So you have to say yes. They both have to say yes. Yep, we're talking about what Joe Biden said to that hard-hitting interview with Howard Stern. When asked, would you debate? He goes, yeah, I'll debate them.

We just don't know where. Oops, that's not what they were planning. 2024 newest polls are in and it's not good for Joe. Hey, Joe, don't blame me. James blames CNN.

They're the culprit, so no one else is to blame. We have the latest on Trump's VP stakes. Reconciliation with Ron DeSantis and plans to campaign. Number Genocidal speech, there hasn't been any. On the Columbia campus.

And the things that are brought forward as evidence for genocidal speech, like From the River to the Sea or Intifada, they are not genocidal. Exactly. Good point. Professor Robbins, who's been at Columbia for 27 years, anti-Israeli campus chaos and Gaza hostage talks have the Israeli Hamas fight front and center around the world, and we have the latest.

So this is, I was just astounded by this.

So Bruce Robbins, he's a professor, deep thinker, much smarter than everybody we know, and especially me. He's sitting in Columbia and he's debating with Brett Stevens, a conservative columnist who's gone vehemently anti-Trump.

So just factor that in. That's why he gets in the New York Times. But I always like Brett Stevens. He was great with the show. But I think he's signed with somebody else now.

But Bruce Robbins was on, and I just couldn't believe he is all for the encampment. He's for empowering all the students. He is for divesting from Israel. He thinks Israel is the problem. He's an American Jew who's been at Columbia, probably a staple there, deep thinking enough to get booked by Fareed Zakaria, who's smarter than all of us as well.

So listen to him reason why the kids are all right. Cut one. Most of the faculty, and I think the student body think that what's gone wrong is calling in the police. that the protest was calm.

Well organized, not violent. There was little, if any, intimidation of anyone. And there are people who don't agree with the protesters. Who absolutely don't agree with bringing in the police. I think that's the single biggest thing.

Number one, I just talked to a student who's a junior, who's Jewish, a girl, a young woman. And she says, uh Absolutely, Amin screamed at. Absolutely, I feel unsafe. It's absolutely not okay to walk by the encampments. They are not peaceful encampments.

More from The Ridiculous Professor, cut two. People in the encampment, what we call the encampment, that's the protesters at Columbia. They have not Shouted out slogans, chanted slogans in support of Hamas or the wanton destruction of civilian lives on October 7th. That is simply not the fact. It's a little upsetting I think to everybody at Columbia.

That the mainstream media, I mean, as well as the politicians, have confused things that are chanted outside Colombia's gates with things that the Colombia protesters are saying.

So if one thing he's flat out wrong, why else would you give a clarion call to the Jewish community that school could be taken in on Zoom? And then later you have a choice if they said that your safety could be jeopardized. They have made no accommodations for the Jewish population there. I think there's four thousand of them. Number one.

And number two is it is just not true. Maybe when prof the professor says he spends all that time in the encampments, who knows, maybe he even got one of those rubber headed mallets and helped him put up the pup tents. He is flat out wrong. Listen, cut three. Tell the founders in a million ocean and sick kit.

So that's genocide. Oh, well. Yeah. Andrew's a b F is real. Every other f.

There is only one fellusay. There is only one fellusay. So they want a radical Muslim revolution in upstate uh in uptown New York City, okay, Upper West Side. And then they want one downtown at NYU, and they want one at the FIT, which is interesting, the fashion police. And then you look at all these others.

I mean, I have my own printout here. There are so many. riots who believe these 18 to 22 year olds who believe that Israel is the bad guy. The democracy in the area that was attacked brutally on October 7th, that has given the Palestinians throughout history plenty of time to form their own state. You asked Bill Clinton how many opportunities he gave them to form a new state, to have part of the West Bank and part of Gaza and have a huge thoroughfare to connect the both.

And there was going to be peace between them and recognition of both. But it didn't happen because, as Yasser Arafat said, as I paraphrase, if I was to come back with this deal, I'll be dead the next day. That's the fact.

So you understand something. Nobody wants a two state solution except for people on the outside because they want the situation to go away. The people there, the Palestinians want one state, and Israel probably now knows she can't have two states. Why would they put a terror regime right next to them? Cut for more from the genius of 73-year-old Bruce Robbins.

on a university campus. I also think there hasn't been any. On the Columbia campus. And the things that are brought forward as evidence for genocidal speech, like From the River to the Sea or Intifada, they are not genocidal. Would you please tell everybody in Israel that?

And Hamas? Because they think it is. And River to the sea means wiping out everything in between, and that includes old use. Bret Stevens City name, by the way, it's kind of interesting to see a collegial debate, but they wouldn't even look at each other. Cut five.

From the river to the sea is genocidal speech. And if we were talking about another minority group that told you, when you say this phrase, It has this set of implications. You would take them seriously. And I'm just amazed by the dismissiveness with which so many people view this phrase, which is essentially a call for the elimination of an entire state, okay, as it has been constituted, as it has been a member of the United Nations for 75 years, so cavalierly. To call for the destruction of a state, particularly in light of the way Hamas acted on October 7th, is genocidal speech and should be recognized that way.

There's been about 900 arrests, 275 on Saturday alone. You see some violence on UCLA, the Jewish community standing up with their assemblies as opposed to the anti-American, anti-Semitic assemblies across the way. And just about, I see all these guys.

So this is no flash in the pan. This is no crazy students. These are elite colleges and average colleges. George Washington University, interesting take there.

Well, Columbia thinks the big mistake was bringing cops in to begin with. At George Washington George Washington University, they called for the police. You know the police said? It's not going to be a good look for us. We're not doing it.

Can you believe that? I can't believe it. It's just nuts. The ignorance of the so-called smartest among us. You know those people that went to Ivy Leagues in your school.

They usually got a near perfect SAT mark if they didn't have a legacy, and they got really almost 101 average. And still, if they're all white, it's going to be almost impossible to get in. But still, the ones that got in, you know how bright they are. But sadly, they're also being manipulated and soft-minded. They got Play-Doh for brains, and they're allowed to be manipulated by people like this guy, Professor Bruce Robbins, who lets them know if you want the bad guys, they are the Jews, which is absolutely insane.

Never thought I'd be talking about this if I wasn't in a history class talking about what led up to World War II. But here is Bill Maher. Who influenced? Factored that into his monologue over the weekend, Cut Six. Maybe the question that today's protester needs to ask themselves more than any other is: why do I care so much about this particular cause?

North Korea stars its people. China puts them in concentration camps. Myanmar brutalizes the Rohingya. Boko Haram kidnaps whole villages of women. The president of Burundi.

says gays should be stoned to death because they quote deserve it Nothing? Genocide, by the way. Is when you want to wipe out an entire people. That's the stated goal of Hamas. That's what from the river to the sea means.

Hamas would do that to Israel, but can't. Israel could do that to them, but doesn't. And yet, people are upset. They say that there have been too wonton with the dropping of bombs. I think when the numbers come up and we don't have to deal with Hamas for these numbers, they're going to be a lot closer to minimal civilian casualties.

Evidently, if there's 33,000 casualties, and yeah, that is a lot, but it's a very dense area, and that's why the Israelis never wanted to go in there despite constantly being rocketed, 18,000 are militants. And they got a few thousand more in Rafah. Sadly, I think some of them are probably getting out, but they do not want to do a deal. They've been showing proof of life for some of the hostages. Who are absolutely being tortured, feel bad for them every day, 206 days now.

Three hostages show proof of life. Couldn't Keith Siegel, father of five, who's an American? Grandfather, too?

So, to do that, they're now cutting a deal, it looks like six months, six weeks, no fighting. They get 40 hostages out, and they probably have to release maybe 900 prisoners. At least 100 have blood on their hands. Moss is walking away from that deal. For the record, walking away.

This guy, Sinwar, Sinwar, who's running it, so they're bin Laden. Colvin is shots deep in a cave in Rafah while all these other Palestinian people, the infants, they're the ones in the line of fire. They're the ones responsible, Hamas. And that used to be a no-brainer, not even worth saying. But evidently, it's worth saying now because no one thinks so who's 18 to 22.

Insane. And there's organizations and the money flowing in there to go to Yasser Arafat's gift shop and picked up his headdresses. It should be ashamed of themselves. We're going to take a timeout. I've got much more to talk about, including unbelievable poll numbers for President Trump, considering it's his third week on trial in New York City.

You'll listen to the Brian Kill Me Show. Hope you had a fantastic weekend. We're back in action now. Politics, current events, and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say.

Stay with Brian Kilmead. The Fox News Rundown, a contrast of perspectives you won't hear anywhere else. Your daily dose of news twice a day. Featuring insight from top newsmakers, reporters, and Fox News contributors. Listen and subscribe now by going to FoxNewsPodcasts.com.

A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmead. I'm curious for what Jen Saki's reaction would have been like if she was still in the White House when she heard President Biden blurt out during a live interview that he was going to debate. Because Biden's folks don't want him to debate. They don't want to give Trump that platform and risk exposing Biden like that on national TV.

Except, I was thinking if I was in my old job from two years ago, you also don't want him to say no because no is weak and no is fear.

So you have to say yes. They both have to say yes. Wow, so Jensaki's saying they should debate or find a way to get out of it. And other people say, well, he's going to be so unorthodox, not going to follow the rules. Tough.

That's what it is.

Some follow the rules.

Some it's not Kennedy-Nixon anymore. We're both sit on calm chairs and wait for the question to come out. We'll have to see it. Also, I sense that Donald Trump. Even though he had COVID at the time, he knows that being too aggressive didn't work for him.

And now Joe Biden can't just say things that he would have done or can do.

Now we have his record to defend. And I think the president will be a little bit more thought-out about it because the more Biden talks, the less sense he makes.

So I think he might let up. But we'll have a long way to go. We've got six months until that moment. But listen to this. First, the news is not much of a surprise.

CBS looked at seven battleground states, but they got three in particular they have results from. It looks like Biden by two in Pennsylvania, 51-49. In Michigan, he trails by one. And in Wisconsin, he trails by one.

So obviously, too close to call. But in terms of In terms of issues, the economy under Trump in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, 61% approve the economy under Biden. Um 43%, 32 and 36.

So in Michigan, 43% approve under Biden, 32% approve under Pennsylvania, and 36% approve of Joe Biden's economy.

So Trump beats them there. Were you financially better off? This is a Pennsylvania question. 4721, people say they were financially better off under Trump. Worse under Trump.

Um worse off. Uh as we mentioned 36. For for uh worse off for uh for Biden Only forty eight percent said they're worse off, thirty six percent they aren't.

So about the same thirty one percent seventeen. In terms of oil and gas, how you doing? They said forty nine, thirty three Trump was better on both.

Now the devastating news. Not devastating, but I would say jarring. Uh when asked Registered voters, head-to-head matchup, Trump v. Biden. Trump wins by six now, 49-43.

Really? Since the state of the union, Biden's been on a roll. In some polls, sure. Not anymore. Five-way race.

Look at this. forty two thirty three. Trump widens from six percent to nine. That's with RFK taking sixteen percent, West taking three, Stein taking three. Looking back in general, would you say the Presidency was a success or a failure?

Trump, fifty five percent say success. Failure forty four. For Biden, success of success thirty-nine. People 39% say Joe Biden was a failure. Sixty one percent say success, sixty one percent say it's failure.

Do you approve or disapprove of the way Biden is handling the economy? 34%. Approve, 66% disapprove. I mean, that's just a fact. That is an ugly fact about a CNN poll, which, by the way, they're barely even mentioning.

Barely comes up in other channels. Here's the other big story that happened over the weekend. Evidently, Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump met. They had brunch.

So this is how it came together. Former White House.

So news of the meeting was first reported by the Washington Post. They had this meeting. It was orchestrated by Steve Witkoff, a foreign real estate broker, a big time donor of Governor DeSantis.

Well, sources familiar confirmed to Fox that the meeting was set up nearly ten days ago after DeSantis approached Witkoff. DeSantis was playing golf at the Shell Bay Club, a private club in Hollywood, Florida, and agreed to have breakfast with Trump, that according to a source familiar with it.

So what does that do? It brings some money. brings additional unity. What I think you really got to do is find a way to get Nikki Haley involved. Why?

Voters are much different than the DeSantis and Trump voters. DeSantis was trying to win over Trump voters. They weren't ready to let go. He wasn't trying to win over moderates, at least he wasn't with his message. He eventually would have had to.

And he probably would have pivoted just to a degree. He did in a one way he has because he backed off the Disney story.

So that's pretty big. The other big story is the ascension of Doug. Burnham as a Bergram as a VP candidate. Evidently, people are noticing that he's been closer to Trump before. He can raise money.

He's got money and he's not running for reelection. I think that if Trump wins, he's absolutely in. Here's JD Vance. about why he's changed his tune on Trump and why he's on the VP list, CUT 23. I talk to President Trump a lot.

We're very close. I've never spoken to him about being vice president, so I assume that a lot of this is media speculation. Of course, if he asked me, I'd have to think seriously about it, because I think it's really important that he win. The world is on fire, and I can sort of see Donald Trump as a bit of a fireman. And David Frum is the one reporting that he's moving up the list, but David Frum despises Donald Trump.

He was the one who came up with the Axis of Evil for a speechwriter for George W. Bush, but he hates Trump. He said he used to be great friends and admirer of J.D. Vance, who basically feels as though my words, but the way I read it, he just sold his soul.

So, what happens is, people don't sell their soul. What they say is, I buy into the rhetoric. I watch other people talk about Donald Trump. I see how different he is. I say, oh, he's bad for the country.

Then they get him one-on-one and they see some of his big picture items and approaches, and they feel differently. Yeah, some of them it's self-serving because they realize the power of Trump. And others just get one over. That's what happened with JD Vance. And to the president's credit, I mean he will forget.

Grudges. I mean, not with William Barr. Bill Barr came out over the weekend, endorsed Trump, and Trump still was sarcastic. But I do think that if you go to war with Trump, and when it's over, if you think it's over, he thinks it's over. And we just saw that the latest example.

The latest example is Ron DeSantis, Frank Jolicho. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead. This particular debate over Gaza and Israel is a big political peril for Joe Biden. You know, there's a new CNN poll out this morning that shows eight in ten voters under 35 disapprove of the job Biden is doing in handling this issue.

A majority of Democratic voters disapprove of what he's doing, and it raises the prospect of the protest we saw last night at the White House correspondence dinner. Think what we're going to see. How serious was that protest last night?

Well, it was hundreds of people chanting. There wasn't any violence.

So in that way, it's just the kind of protests that we're accustomed to in Washington. But watch out for the Chicago Convention and what happens there on this issue. Right. I think the DNC is going to have a series of riots. And it's not because they support Republicans, because it turns out that.

That party is not left enough, not left enough to be not anti-Israel enough, and that's one of the reasons. Also, there's a sense of a banana of African American community, and we've seen a lot of the people just protest. Uh followed Joe Biden all around. We even saw people come out against Binomics, although that probably wouldn't overwhelm the DNC. Uh with me uh right now in studio to discuss this and so much more.

is um Nicoli, it's great to see you. Brian, great to be here with you. Let me give you a proper introduction. You were the Maryland National Committeewoman. Nicoli Ambrose was somebody that was not all in, would you say, for the big quick switch at the head of the RNC.

Would you say that? I wish it had happened in January when we had a meeting. I really wish it had happened in 2023 when we had a meeting. Because you felt like there should have been a change? Absolutely.

Absolutely. And I told Ronna she shouldn't run again. And I appreciate what she did. She did do a lot of good stuff, but, you know. She's been the longest serving chairwoman.

of the RNC, certainly in this century, and give someone else a chance, especially when we should have performed better in the previous three election cycles.

So things are going well. We have a quick turnaround now. Chairman Michael Watley is doing a great job. He's the one who really got North Carolina on track. To really kind of fight the Democrats at their own game at the field level, and all especially with that lawfare argument that.

People play at the polls or at little local boards of elections, all the way up to the state board of elections. And it's really important to kind of fight those legal battles before you get to Election Day, not after. And Michael did a great job of that. David Drucker writes in the dispatch: he says, the Republican National Committee was poised to open up 40 satellite campaign offices across key battleground states. When there was a change at the top, that might not happen.

Is there a legitimate fear that it's all going to be about Trump and they're just going to give up winning the House? And is there a sense that maybe these senators will be on their own?

So I was actually just talking to Chairman Watley about my state and other states because there does seem to be a very strong recognition from the top, including from President Trump, he needs a Republican Senate. He needs a Republican House if he's going to get basic policy through. He's got to win, too. He has to win, of course. But a lot of these states that he's.

looks like he's going to clean up an are also going to be Senate pickup seats for Republicans. And this is the best map we have this year in 2024 for the U.S. Senate. Because in two years you don't. Exactly.

And four years after that, we don't either.

So we have to, as a party, perform well in 24 because the map is not so favorable in the next two cycles. All right.

So do you think that they understand that? Because originally Lara came out and said it's all about getting my father-in-law elected. And she corrected that statement and added to, yes, and we have to focus on the House and the Senate. And that is the right answer. Let's be clear.

Because what's the use in being president if you're hauled up in front of Investigatory committees every single day. It completely stops all progress. I think that this president understands the former president understands that better than anybody. Yes. But right now, if you look at Montana, that's a possibility, but it looks like Jon Test is really outraising Sheehi.

He is very strong in that state. You have to just realize that he is just perfect. Personally strong there. How can he? That's a red state and he does nothing Republican.

I hear you. And I mean, how hard is it to just get back and forth to D.C. and represent those states? He's just personally very popular. He's been there forever.

I think we have much stronger pickup opportunities. Larry Hogan in your state. Larry Hogan in Maryland. But it's still a one or two point race. Actually, well, Polling shows he's either winning by 12 or 14 points right now if the election were today.

However, let's just say Maryland does not have the cleanest voter rolls, and anyone can vote by mail and take my ballot with no proof of ID.

So I would, if I were Larry, pretend like I was five points behind and run that like that. And I think he is. He's a good campaigner and he knows he has to work really hard. And then you have the pickup in West Virginia, which is a done deal with Jim Justice. It seems Alex Mooney could win that one too.

You think that Alex Mooney's got a shot in the primary? He's coming up. And Maryland and West Virginia have primaries both on May 14th.

So let's see. It's getting close. That would be shocking. Jim Justice is the most similar to Donald Trump. I mean, he's got they got the same personality.

And I think that they get along great. He'd be a huge ally. See, here's the thing. I think justice, I mean, God bless him, he's a Republican governor. He's not exactly been the best fiscal steward of his own companies, companies that have gone under, et cetera.

Alex Mooney has been a strong conservative.

So I've seen polling that it's getting close. Justice has not really raised any money. He's just kind of counted on this. He hasn't been out in the field. He has not been working it.

Alex is both a great fundraiser and a great field campaigner.

So we'll see. That would be crazy. The other thing, the other area to pick up that people are optimistic on would be Ohio. But Jared Brown is popular, and we don't know much about Bernie Moreno, except for he's got Trump in his corner. Exactly.

I'm going to count that Ohio has been really well organized in recent years. Former RNC coacher Bob Paduchek has run Trump's ground game there. He is just a fierce operative and a great guy.

So, you know, think about this. Back in 2016. Republicans did not count on the state of Ohio, right? We didn't think it was a sure thing.

Now, Ohio is a sure thing for president. And I think it's been because of some just outstanding GOP organizing in that state.

So I'm going to hope that same. Operation that can do it for Trump can get the Republican senator over the line in Ohio. And then when you look at it over in Michigan, there's a lot of hope there that something could be breaking. I sure hope. You know, when you look at these numbers in Wisconsin.

Michigan, Pennsylvania, if we kind of consider this, you know, Great Lakes region over into the East Coast. When is the last time a Republican candidate for president this far out? Has been leading or even a point ahead in states like this, right? The only chance we've ever had has been a sneak attack. But every single other Republican candidate have eyed those states, have wanted those states, and haven't gotten it.

Trump is the only candidate we have seen in modern history who can seemingly bring those states home. And where else are you hopeful? Are you worried about Ted Cruz in Texas, or is he just trying to raise money by putting up scary polls? Here's the thing: if Texas were not so well run, it would have been a blue state years ago. But between.

Republicans being on top of the legal game, activist attorney general, and really smart Republicans in their legislature. They have batted off every single effort to kind of chip away at voters' rights. Yeah, let's talk about what's happening at college campuses and the price that Democrats might be able to pay. You know, Donald Trump would obviously be more pro-Israel than any even Joe Biden by far be tighter with Netanyahu, clearly, even though they've had some friction of late.

So the alternative is not what they're looking for. They want a change in Joe Biden's policies.

So you have dozens of schools now with major protests. having constant contacts with law enforcement, USC, UCLA. We saw it on in Blackburn, Virginia. And we're seeing all across the country, Emerson over in over in Massachusetts. What's your reaction to what could be happening at the DNC?

So, can I just take a step back here and say I am a mother of a son in college and a daughter about to go off to college. And these kids, the ones who will be graduating this year, missed their high school graduation, and now they might miss their college graduation. And it is all because of absurd policy and people coddling in this case wannabe terrorists, or perhaps actual terrorists. These kids have been shafted. It is terrible what has happened to these kids.

I think you're going to have a generation of possibly not. Just right-leaning and right-voting, but actual conservative kids come out of this. And if you look at polling, you're seeing the under-30 demographic is now sharply swinging towards Donald Trump. My favorite was the political article, Politico article this month saying, This polling must be wrong. We must be reading it incorrectly.

It can't be true. No, it absolutely can be true because when these kids have had their lives, everything they hoped for and dreamed about when they were growing up ruined and all these, all the fun things, all the fun of life taken away from them, I think that can lead to a major shift in how the vote thinks long-term.

So, Sarah Isker was on this week with George Savanopoulos. She's a Department of Justice spokesperson during Trump years. Since she's had a fallout with him, she notices what's going on, Cut 11. Look, I I am uh Upset. I'm horrified that Joe Biden, who said he ran because of the Unite the Right rally, won't say the same things about what's going on now that he did then.

Because what we're seeing is the right and the left, a large minority of both of those political movements, rejecting liberal values like free speech, like persuasion. They now think that those aren't necessary, that in fact they should just be in charge in this authoritarian manner. That's what these campus protests are about. They're not about persuasion. They're not trying to convince anyone, and they're not for peace.

They're fine if there's violence, as long as it's against Jews, as long as it's against Israel. It's so outside the bounds of what we should be seeing in the United States of America. And where are the people on the political left saying the same things that us on the political right were saying about the Unite the Right rally, about the anti-liberal values on the right? Where are they now?

Okay. Do you have an answer to that? Afraid? You know, she's absolutely right. And a great other example of this is Columbia's president this morning saying, Oh, we're going to divest from Israel.

And oh, we'll run it past you, our student body. Absolutely not. Where are the grown-ups in the room?

Well, they didn't say they were going to divest from Israel. Consider it. Right, they were saying we will look at our portfolio, we will share it with you, we will discuss this with you. Absolutely not. Long story short, she's absolutely right.

We have this growing progressive movement that is authoritarian, who is not for free speech, who's not for basic American values. And it's really about time that people say, sorry, you live in America. We have a Constitution, we have a First Amendment and beyond. And If you don't value them, I'm so sorry. Yes, so what do you do if you're a Republican?

You keep your head down. Mike Lawler didn't. We know that Speaker Johnson did not. We have a lot of Republicans speaking out, Tom Cotton speaking out. But if you're trying to win in a blue state, Nicoli, what do you do?

I think you do need to speak up, and I think you absolutely need to stand firm for the future. You have to do the right thing. This is where politics is not hard, and people make it hard by second-guessing the most basic values. This is not a question. You stand with our allies, and you stand for free speech.

And when people behave badly, you treat them as though they behave badly. When we have people calling to wipe Israel from the map, which is what you are doing when you're saying you are Hamas, or you are saying, you know, to the sea, et cetera, and you are talking about genocide, and you need to be treated like a terrorist calling for genocide. This is not the protest of the 1960s that called for peace. These protesters are calling to kill people because of their religion or cultural background. Absolutely wrong.

So here is a professor at Columbia saying you're wrong, cut forward. Genocidal speech should not be acceptable. It might be acceptable in the United States constitutionally. I don't think there's any place for it. on a university campus.

I also think there hasn't been any. on the Columbia campus. And the things that are brought forward as evidence for genocidal speech, like From the River to the Sea or Intifada, they are not genocidal. I mean, he he is. Arrogant?

Condescending. And wrong. Exactly. What more do you say? And has he not seen the lovely TikTok videos that, you know, one of their student protest leaders have projected?

Posted about how it's okay to kill Jews if he really had to, he would do so. Unacceptable. Like, what is the discussion? Where is your DEI? Where are your inclusive values when you're talking about killing people because of their race or religion?

Were you surprised? See the Battleground States on CBS, as I mentioned before, seven states, one or two points. The former president leads Joe Biden in Michigan and Wisconsin, trailing by two in Pennsylvania. Economy, he kills. Financially better off, he does much better.

Oil and gas, he beats Biden by 18 points. But the CNN poll I found stunning. Number one, they don't want to run it. Trump's up six nationally. I know we don't have run national races, but what do you see when you see registered voters give him a six-point lead, nine points when RFK is in it?

What do you take from that? That I would love to see a Republican president win by that or more, right? I think the country needs a clear, decisive victory that Americans. Feel confident. About and don't just sit there and fight it every single day.

So I think it would be incredible. This is his third week on trial. Because the Democrats have completely overplayed their lawfare game. They think if it can happen to the President of the United States, it can happen to me. It can happen to anyone.

And, you know, they see President Trump. There was a picture of him on the cover of the Wall Street Journal last week where he just looked tired. You know, and he's saying how the courtroom is cold and miserable. And I think people their hearts breaks for him because they're like, This man has been persecuted. Right.

I mean, I hate to say, if you're a progressive woman, apparently not Howard Stern was coddling Biden and passing him formula during his radio interview. But anyway. I think America and when you the Marquette poll that also came out that showed if you include unlikely or unregistered voter, just Trump wins by like twenty points amongst them. That is an amazing thing. I mean, last time, you know, it and you have the youth vote going for Trump now.

So I think we're looking at a very decisive victory. I I hate to see President Trump have to go through this lawfare game, but the more the Democrats are pressing it, the higher his political statement. The thing that Republicans are worried about is what happens if there's a conviction, even though, as ridiculous as I feel it would be if it happens, what changes with independence and undecided? We'll have you back, Nicoli, to talk about that. Nicoli Ambrose, thanks so much.

Hey, when we come back, we'll be able to take some calls: 1-866-408-7669, and also talk about the Trump trials, what we're set up for beginning on Tuesday. Don't move. Coming to you on a need-to-know basis, because Mandy, you need to know. It's Brian Kilmead. Radio that makes you think.

This is the Brian Kill Me Show. And I am honored to be here hosting what is, according to Swing State Polls, the final White House Correspondent Center. I hope That tonight will be a night to remember. For most of us. I was excited to be up here on stage with President Biden tonight, mostly to see if I could figure out where Obama was pulling the strings from.

I have to admit, it's not easy following President Biden. I mean, it's not always easy following what he's saying.

So that's kind of, I guess, I heard he was. This is how it was reviewed in the New York Times. He said he was nervous. His eyes were darting side to side in order to get approval. It's a tough thing to deliver from.

You're an elector in the middle of a day, as I understand it. Also, Fundamentally, I think it's a good night. I don't have a problem with the night, except for this time. You might, uh, Donald Trump says, Listen, the media's not treating me fair. Everybody's running with this Russia investigation.

Now they have this impeachment investigation. Uh, I deal with you all the time, and all I get is negative stories. I'm not coming. All right.

Well, and by the way, 97% of the stories, 92% when he was president, 97% of stories on Donald Trump are negative. But Joe Biden Actually, gives every Washington correspondent the Heisman. He's not talking to anybody the rest of the way. What makes it worse, he's talking to Jason Bateman. Conan O'Brien.

Howard Stern. And some local people. And yet they're going to sit there and laugh about it. That's what the New York Times is having a brawl with them about. Notice, I'm not saying to you, not to interview Fox, that would be self-serving.

I'm talking about not doing interviews, period. And he's kidding about it? You put it in a tux and laugh about it? From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kelmead.

Hi everyone, welcome. This is the Brian Killmeat Show.

So glad you're here. Thanks to everyone who came out in Henderson, Nevada. Great crowd, capacity crowd. It was great to see everyone in person and find out what's on your mind and see what a great American city, a great American town that is just outside Las Vegas. Had no idea how much pride they had and how bustling it is and how much they're into the Golden Knights, which happened to be on the same night as me.

Uh but keep in mind too, if you ever missed this show. You can always get it on the podcast. Wherever you get your podcast platform, you go to Fox News app too. It'll also be there, the Brian Kill Me Show. If you ever want to listen on the app because you'll leave your local affiliate, you click on watch and you just swipe until you get to Fox News Radio, or you just click on the headsets, you can listen to us live or on tape anytime.

So we have. Two great guests this hour. We have Mae Melman, who's the director of Independent Women's Law Center and a former legal advisor to President Trump. She tackles the issue of letting men who declare their women playing in girls' sports and men's sports when it comes to college nuts. She tackles that and with the Title IX revelations, with the Biden administration's actually bringing, and Jessica Schwab will be with us, a Columbia Junior, Columbia University student junior, who wants to take on Bruce Bobbins, who came out and said as a professor of 25 years at Columbia, there's no danger to Jews on campus.

So let's get to the big three.

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

Now the question becomes defining where does the line get drawn when it comes to what is an official act. I think A, that's going to take a long time for the court to decide, and B, after they decide it, they're going to probably send it back, and that will be additional delay. Dan Abrams coming in saying, I just don't think this is a strong case, and he thinks it's going to be a hung jury on ABC. Not everyone agrees. Trump trials week three, what to expect this week.

It gets started again on Tuesday. What's been accomplished for both the defense and prosecution? And you can imagine, opinions vary widely. I'm stuck on the question: what's the charge? Number two.

Because Biden's folks don't want him to debate. They don't want to give Trump that platform and risk exposing Biden like that on national TV. You also don't want him to say no, because no is weak. And no is fear.

So you have to say yes. They both have to say yes. 2024's newest polls are in. And Joe, it's not good news for you. We also have the latest on Trump's VP stakes.

Reconciliation with Ron DeSantis. Could Nikki Haley be next? Number Genocidal speech. There hasn't been any. On the Columbia campus.

And the things that are brought forward as evidence for genocidal speech, like From the River to the Sea or Intifada, they are not genocidal. That is Bruce Bobbins. That's the professor I was referring to. Anti-Israeli campus chaos in Gaza hostage talks. Have the Israeli Hamas fight front and center around the world.

We have the latest. Kind of interesting in Germany. In Germany, they had protests. You know what they're calling for? I hold on to something.

The construction of a caliphate. Where the Palestinians can be part of it and Israel could be wiped out. Isn't that an interesting thing? Did you ever dream of that? As the caliphate takes root and Syria goes into total tumult and everybody heads to Europe for some peace, now they're saying in Europe, let's make a caliphate.

Good luck with that.

So, where did it all start?

Now, first off, just to tell you what's going on, I mean, there are 900 arrests. I think 250 were arrested just on Saturday alone.

So, this is around the country. You're talking about Columbia, you're talking about MIT, you're talking about Emerson, you're talking about UCLA, USC, violent unrest in Arizona State where the students came up and took the campus back. Isn't that interesting? In Texas, they didn't take it. They just came up to the University of Texas, Austin, said pull up all those tents.

In Columbia, they think the problem is that they called the cops to begin with, and they censored the president of Columbia for calling the cops in. He thinks that's what they think is the problem. All these professors that are in on this campus disruption. Should be fired. Just like the 26 people who protested the investments of Google, Google fired them.

Same thing happens to all of them. And figure out the tenure in court. Listen to this Bruce Bobbins. You know, I always say to myself, what are these professors thinking? And I always picture some radicals who somehow slipped through the cracks of political correctness and teaching this class.

But then I see this guy, Bruce Bobbins, who looks about 75 years old. He said he's been teaching for 25 years. Really, you know, one of these guys who knows he's smarter than all of us. Sitting down with Freed Zakaria, who knows he's smarter than all of us, and they wanted to have a debate on both sides. On one side's Brett Stevens, a Trump hater, but a conservative.

Good guy, but Brett Stevens, New York Times columnist, and Bruce Bobbins, totally different. Takes on what's going on right now. First off, this Columbia professor tells us what's really happening at Columbia. Cut one. Most of the faculty and I think the student body think that what's gone wrong.

is calling in the police. that the protest was calm.

Well organized, not violent. There was little, if any, intimidation of anyone. And there are people who don't agree with the protesters. who absolutely don't agree with bringing in the police. I think that's the single biggest thing.

Do you believe that?

So we're saying, why didn't the police come back? You gave them 48 hours to evacuate. The tents went back up after the police ripped them out. And that said the big problem is the police. I wanted to hear it from them.

And this guy's not a radical. He's I think he's Jewish. He is Jewish. He's grown up in Upper East Side, New York City. He works there for 25 years.

Then he went on to continue to astound me with his statements, cut too. People in the encampment, what we call the encampment, that's the protesters at Columbia. They have not Um Shouted out slogans, chanted slogans in support of Hamas or the wanton destruction of civilian lives on October 7th. That is simply not the fact. It's a little upsetting I think to everybody at Columbia.

that the mainstream media I mean for As well as the politicians, have confused things that are chanted outside Columbia's gates with things that the Columbia protesters are saying. Not confused. Talk to personally, you're going to hear from one a little bit later, a student at Columbia. He's absolutely wrong. His Jewish students feel absolutely threatened.

Some have been hit. They've all been shattered at. They feel threatened. They're told not to wear anything outwardly Jewish. You believe that?

I also heard that they exchanged the same thing in the UK, where it's even worse.

So, this is from inside the campus. You tell me who's right, Professor Bruce Robbins? Or your ears cut three. Tell the finger to the mountain ocean and sink it.

So that's genocide. Oh, well. Okay, for real. Israel's a f. Here's the L.

Here's the Lafayette. There is only one soul who said there is only one soul who said. Defend our revolution! Defend our revolution! Can you believe that's happening in Colombia?

But that's not a threat if you're Jewish? That's actually as anti-American as it gets. That's what's taking place. But I'm talking about at Washington University over in St. Louis, University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Arizona State, arrested 69 people.

University of Illinois, Urbana, Champaign, they showed police officers detaining at least one person. Smaller campuses, a school I've never heard of. In Denver, Oriara campus, 40 people were arrested. University of Connecticut, police removed at least one tent from a rally on Thursday. Princeton, two graduate students were arrested.

Indiana University, 23 arrested. Emory, really horrific, 20 there.

Some were zip tied. But this was, I thought, the most telling. Then I want to get to another topic, Cut Four. More from the professor, Cut Four. Genocidal speech should not be acceptable.

It might be acceptable in the United States, constitutionally. I don't think there's any place for it. on a university campus. I also think there hasn't been any. On the Columbia campus.

And the things that are brought forward as evidence for genocidal speech, like From the River to the Sea or Intifada, they are not genocidal. Oh yeah? Uh, that's totally inaccurate. When you talk about from the river to the sea, that means you wipe everything out, they're dead. They're dead or they're gone.

And that's Israel, and then it becomes Palestine, which was not what the Balfour Declaration called for right after World War II that we backed 70 plus years ago. Here's Brett Stevens on debating him. It's kind of interesting to see the tabape because they wouldn't look at each other. Got five. From the river to the sea is genocidal speech.

And if we were talking about another minority group that told you when you say this phrase, it has this set of implications, you would take them seriously. And I'm just amazed by the dismissiveness with which so many people view this phrase, which is essentially a call for the elimination of an entire state, okay, as it has been constituted, as it has been a member of the United Nations for 75 years, so cavalierly. To call for the destruction of a state, particularly in light of the way Hamas acted on October 7th, is genocidal speech and should be recognized that way. Let's move over to the Trump show. I mean, obviously, Brett Stevens is 100% right.

And this professor, I hope this gets some traction besides our show, and people start calling this guy out. I'd fire him right away. And if I'm the president, I'll go down flying, I'd go down swinging. I'd say, no, this is the right thing to do. I'm calling the cops again.

Senate, you want to oust me? I'll go get another job. Plenty of people would hire you and respect you. You know what they were mad at? Bruce Robbins said.

That she, this president of Columbia, sold out the university when she went to Capitol Hill. Not. But it does show you how difficult that job is, which is why I never take it. Uh nor would it be offered. Let's talk about the Trump trials.

They're off today. They're going to work Tuesday, then Thursday, Friday. And we're going to hear more from A series of witnesses, including Karen McDougal, eventually going to get to Michael Cohen, possibly get the Hope's. Ronna, the Rona Graff, which is his longtime assistant, testified the other day and talked about that. Stormy Daniels in the building.

The question is: what is a crime and what's not a crime, and how's it going? It depends on what legal experts you listen to.

So I wanted to bring you somebody different, Dan Abrams. the ABC's chief legal an uh analyst. This did not please George Stephanopoulos, cut 28. Look, I'm still a skeptic of the fact that he brought the case, right? Two separate questions.

Should he have brought the case? And the second question is. Is there a possibility for a conviction? Meaning, is there enough evidence? I think you have to view this through the prism of a technical violation.

I think this is a souped-up misdemeanor. With all that said, they have certainly presented evidence of falsified records, right? And now you've got these first witnesses demonstrating, in particular in David Pecker, that it does seem that there's an argument that this was done to impact the campaign. And that will be the legal question that the jurors will be deciding, not the question of should the case have been brought. That's for us to decide out here, right?

Inside that courtroom, that's not really the question they should be assessing. The only question is going to be, is there enough evidence? And the prosecution is now presenting evidence that I think could in the end become a technical violation, although as you and I have talked about, I'm convinced there'll be a hung jury. Wow, and they didn't like that. And then you got this guy, Isen, Who writes a column and says not only is the president on the way to be convicted, he's going to do jail time.

Really? You're going to put the leading candidate for president on ridiculous charges that no one can understand in jail? For the last, what, three months of this trial, six months? I don't know when are you going to do it?

Meanwhile, Chump hater John Dean says this. We don't know if they do or if they have information or witnesses, documents that directly link Donald Trump to the falsification of the documents or whether that's going to be something that has to be inferred by really overwhelming evidence. And there is no other way it would have have happened other than from him allowing it to happen. That's a thinner case. If they have direct witnesses or they have direct evidence, that's a powerful case.

So, Michael Cohen comes out and says, Yeah, this is the check and this is he signed it.

Well, he's signing everything put in front of him. He thinks it's going someplace, doesn't go another. This happened after the election when Michael Cohen says he got reimbursed. And are they using campaign funds? And fundamentally, overarching theme, ladies and gentlemen, if people have damaging information for you and you decide to work out a settlement to keep that damaging information out, that is called campaigning.

This is bringing up opposition research, that's campaigning. Bringing up positive bio stuff, that's campaigning. Making stuff up about your bio, that's a risk because it's called campaigning. It's up to you to find it out. Case in point, George Santos.

That is part of it. Would I hope people don't convict him because he's guilty of having an affair or making bad choices when it comes to relationships prior to him being married? Just don't know, that's not a crime. And that's what's driving people nuts. But you have other people on the other side that must drive all of us non-lawyers crazy who have a totally different take on what we've seen so far.

All right, so we have a big hour coming your way. We're going to talk about women's sports, May Malman. Listen, if you don't play athlete sports directly, if you're a grandparent or a parent, this will affect you because your kid's going to be lining up playing soccer or volleyball, field hockey, and the person across the way is going to be male. And that could only not only damage your chances of playing, but if it's an opponent, it could actually get you hurt. That's what this administration wants to do.

And then back to Columbia for more. Don't move. Most of the faculty and I think the student body think that what's gone wrong is calling in the police. that the protest was calm.

Well organized, not violent. There is little if any intimidation of anyone. Really? That's interesting. Jessica Schwab is a student at Columbia and she joins us now.

Jessica, do you echo is the professor right? I would disagree. I've heard many things that are very anti-Semitic, and also my friends and I, when we simply walked onto the lawn, I think I talk about this story all the time, but when we walked onto a lawn we've walked onto a thousand times, we were corralled by a mob of over 200 people. Trying to push the Zionists off the camp. And then later on, the person who led that chant turned out to be someone who actually wanted to go out and murder Zionists.

And that was known to the university in January. Yet he was still on campus and still trying to indoctrinate all of the other protesters who clearly followed in his lead.

So those things are very threatening. There's plenty of Jewish students, Israeli students, who won't even come onto campus. And so it's not. Only a peaceful protest. There are certainly people, people who are peaceful on the lawn, but there's a lot of this growing, like threatening culture that's taking place on campus and especially off campus, right outside the gates.

Which is amazing because this professor says I've been with them. He says there is no intimidation of anyone. There's people who don't agree with the protesters, but there's no chanting and there's no threats.

Meanwhile, didn't your college also tell you that you're to go stay home and Zoom for your class because they were worried about your welfare? Perfect. Yeah, they did. And you know when slogans like um Al Qassam's next target comes out where you might have seen the picture of the one protester holding a a cardboard sign with that slogan on there pointing to Jewish students who are simply waving peacefully a flag, Israeli flags, and just listening to music on a handheld speaker. Those sorts of things are truly disgusting and the university needs to do something to to tame this unruly crowd that that's only spreading.

When you see the encampment on your campus and you see video of encampments on other campuses, not just NYU, not just FIT for goodness sakes, not just City College, but places like in Emerson and in Texas and in California. What are your thoughts? It's very scary. I mean, I also saw footage from Cal Poly Humboldt where a building was just completely vandalized, and I feel like these protests are sort of like coming in waves of severity. And right now, we're at the encampment wave, and we're just waiting on the Cal Poly Humboldt wave to sort of arrive on campus.

And, you know, I sat in on a General Assembly meeting the other night until I was also booed out because I was a Zionist. And they were talking about splitting up into platoons with yellow zones, red zones, and dark red zones. Dark red zones being you'll probably do whatever to defend the encampment with your comrades, as they like to use that word.

So I think it's only going to get more and more aggressive and potentially physical with law enforcement. Jessica, what about you? Do you have a you're a junior, right?

So are you going back next year? Yeah. I I will because, you know, if we leave then they win. We reward their scare tactics. And we have to stay strong even when it's uh scarier to be on campus.

We have to be here. That's the point. I agree. That is awesome. I'm so glad you're doing that.

But the university should be providing security for all of you while you still go to class.

So I'm glad to hear that. Jessica, thanks so much. Thank you.

So I just hope that put it to rest. I want to keep those sound bites all week long, and I want to bring on other students just to tell them how wrong he is, and he's flat-out lying, and we know it.

Meanwhile, coming up next, Mae Melman, who's the director of the Independent Women's Law Center and a former legal advisor to President Donald Trump, on this whole rise of people declaring they're their women and playing in women's sports. It's got to stop, but their changes to Title IX with the Biden administration only foment it and fuel it. May Mailman, next, you'll listen to the Brian Kill Me Show on a great Monday. He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Killmeade.

Florida rejects Joe Biden's attempt to rewrite Title IX. We will not comply and we will fight back. We are not going to let Joe Biden. Try to inject men into women's activities. We are not going to let Joe Biden.

Undermine the rights of parents, and we are not going to let Joe Biden abuse his constitutional authority to try to impose these policies on us here in Florida. We stand with opportunities. We are not going to let Biden get away with it. We will not comply.

So, that is one thing. Obviously, Governor Ron DeSantis is making it clear when it comes to women's sports. He believes women, biological women, should play against biological women. I know it's an earth-shattering statement, but not one the administration agrees with. In a sweeping new Title IX rule, the Biden administration has usurped Congress to undermine free speech, dissolve due process, and redefine sex to include gender identity.

So, if you're in ninth grade and find out you want to be a woman, go compete in women's soccer and go crush people. Is that okay? Take their positions, send women to the bench, and just legislated in unfairness. That is unfair. And I have to tell that to Mae Melman.

She is director of Independent Women's Law Center and a former legal advisor to President Trump. May, welcome to Brian Kilmeet Show. Hey, Brian, thanks for having me. May, tell us exactly how do you think this sweeping rule by this administration will affect women's and girls' sports?

Well, I hope it affects nobody because Governor DeSantis and others, including IWS, Through the Biden administration, and we win, because this is completely illegal. But if they are allowed to rewrite Title Nine, which of course is designed to prevent discrimination against women, Then it will have endless implications.

So, the Biden administration says out loud that women can no longer have women's locker rooms or women's bathrooms. All you need to do is self-identify to get into those spaces. It will also affect women's sports because now there is no such thing as sex. Sex now means gender identity. And so, if you say that you're a woman, you can join women's sports.

They'll say, Oh, yeah, you can have women's sports. But when the Biden administration says that, what they mean is you can have people who identify as women's sports. Then also you will have a whole pronoun police in every school, every college, preschool, everywhere, because you cannot discriminate on the basis of gender identity. And if somebody misgenders you, then that is discrimination.

So huge implications for free speech. And then the final thing that I will say is this also has huge implications for due process. They added into this that if you are accused of some sort of sexual harassment, of course, that includes now misgendering, then you don't even get access to the evidence against you. You don't get to cross-examine. In fact, there doesn't even need to be a written complaint against you.

There can be an oral complaint and someone can try and revoke that complaint, but the school has to move forward with it anyway, if the school thinks that they should.

So huge changes. Absolutely. And among the people upset, West Virginia's Attorney General and Governor, here's Patrick Morrissey on what he's going to do, cut through it. Right now we have 25 states in the country where a lot of these laws are going to get tested. That's one of the reasons why today we announced that we're going to take this case all the way up to the U.S.

Supreme Court, because we have to win not only to protect women's sports, but to protect women's privacy, to protect safe spaces, to have just a sense of basic fairness and decency, and that people, once again, know that it's not up to debate, there are significant differences between men and women, and it's right for legislatures to separate sports and other functions on the basis of biology. Or I mean this is it if I if I queued up that sound by ten years ago. I'd say, what is the point? What is that? What is he talking about?

Men and women, men playing at women's sports? How could this even be an issue? And now, all of a sudden, it's now the minority feeling, according to this administration. If you're enlightened, you let people who wake up and declare to be women, or vice versa, play with the other gender. How hard is it to get it right like the NAIA did, like the Olympics did?

It takes real bravery, apparently. Not because it's unpopular. It is very popular to know the difference between a man and a man. A woman.

So in polling, it shows that it's a 70% issue that people think that women's sports should be for women. And I know 70%, oh my gosh, what's wrong with the 30%? But you know what? There's always going to be something wrong with the 30%.

So this is a popular, popular issue. And the fact that the Biden administration Can't recognize that and thinks that men can become women. Just shows how dangerous this administration is. They are not accountable to the people. They're not accountable to democracy.

They don't care about science. They don't care about reality. They care about liberal elitism, and that liberal elitism is going to run this country to the ground.

So these types of lawsuits are very important. This is why President Trump putting good constitutional judges across this country was super important because we need people who know what a woman is. Of course, that does not include Biden's pick to the Supreme Court, Kantanja Brown Jackson. It just also shows you the impact of the Senate races and who has the majority and the impact of the presidential race. This isn't, well, one person's going to look to raise the tax rate on the upper class.

You have a whole philosophy. And a whole moralistic code that's going to be imprinted on people where you have to get pronouned if you have a mispronunciation of a pronoun or you don't know how someone wants to be identified, that's going to be the norm because they're going to look to institute this. This has never been what Joe Biden's about, but this is the new Joe Biden. Riley gains the voice of reason weighed in, cut four. People are waking up.

They're understanding the severity. They're understanding the threat. They understand how the gender ideology movement harms, of course, women's rights, but it harms parental rights. It harms the safeguarding of children.

So people are waking up. That's what we need. We need more courage to be shown. That's for sure. I think we're governed by weak-need, spineless, morally bankrupt cowards across academia, across corporate America, of course, within our government, what have you.

So we need more leaders is what we need. How about parents, Democrats and Republicans, that have daughters? Does that matter? Yes, it absolutely does.

So not to Joe Biden, apparently. His kids are grown. They're not going to have to deal with this. I think there is a generational issue. If you are not a parent who has to deal with it, you're like Joe Biden, you don't even know how old you are, then Who cares what happens in the schools?

But for people like me who have daughters who are going to have to go into these schools, it matters whether they have privacy. You know, I've heard, oh, well, there are stalls. You know, it's going to be okay. What are you talking about? If you think that stalls are important, then you think that privacy is important.

If you think privacy is important, then how about let's just use the male and female locker rooms that we already have? Women should not have to be forced to undress in front of men. I thought that was a basic position for all people, but especially feminists on the left. It's it's sad to see what's happening. It it really is, but here's the thing.

You have people like Martina Navitalova who say the right thing and say, listen, she was the first lesbian superstar athlete that I know that came out. And she's like, of course, shouldn't play against men. You have Billie Jean King on the other side of that. You have Megan Rapino, who feels as though whatever gender you are, you should play.

Meanwhile, she would never have seen the field if men were allowed to play. Then you also have people on the other side who are pushing elite athletes who don't think they should do it. Then you have Dawn Staley, the coach of the undefeated South Carolina National Championship team, and said, Yeah, if you declare yourself a woman, you should be able to play women's sports.

Well, what if it cost her a championship? What if it caught some injuries, people with head injuries, who are no longer on teams because of this? When it's personally affecting them, I'd love to see their moral stand. That's exactly right.

So, this is the thing I hear a lot from people who are in the middle, which is they know the difference between men and women, and they kind of know that men shouldn't play against women. But the argument is it's just not happening a lot.

So, why are we focused on it? Let's just kind of not talk about it, not think about it. And, you know, it's just not a big problem. But the thing is, it is a big problem.

So, the transgender movement, if you look at it from the past five years to now, the amount of change that there has been now on TikTok, there are more than 7 billion views for hashtag trans.

So, the more we push transgender ideology in the schools, the more transgender ideology has.

So, it's going to continue to grow. But also, even if you only have, let's just say, one male who wants to participate against women, that one male doesn't harm one woman. That one male harms every woman who can't have a spot on the team, every woman who competes against him. Him, every woman who has to change in front of him.

So, one male actually does a tremendous amount of harm. And so, I think, you know, Riley Gaines is right. People are waking up, but people need to wake up faster because this is not some crazy issue that's happening at UC Berkeley. This is happening across the country, you know, all the way down to the smallest rural school.

So, what is your take on the reversal? In the middle of the Me Too movement, Harvey Weinstein, a despicable human being by all accounts, who is a bully and seems to be a pervert.

Now, all of a sudden, they find out he did not get a fair trial.

So, they're going to reverse it and give him another trial. What does that do? How do you feel about this? Yeah, well, on one hand, everyone deserves a a fair trial.

So tell that to President Trump, who has to go stand in front of a Manhattan jury. And on the other hand, If we're only giving Hollywood superstars like Harvey Weinstein fair trials and Meanwhile, the justice system is weaponized against conservatives. Then I really can't get excited about somebody saying that someone else is entitled to due process. But I will say that if this is the precedent now, very recently that New York courts are saying that we need fair trials, I do think that that bodes well for not just Trump, but all the conservatives who are sitting in January 6th prisons right now. Yeah, people should reevaluate.

There's almost momentum and emotion that takes place, and it's not fair no matter how who that character is. And lastly, when people are listening to us right now around the country, they're not politically oriented, they don't have a lawyer in their family, and they see these boys declare themselves women coming out for your soccer team, your volleyball team, your field hockey team. What would you recommend they do?

Well, first of all, you've got to live in one of the twenty-five states that protects women and women's sports. If you are lingering in California, that's going to be very difficult for you. But if you are in one of those twenty five states or if you're in another state that is considering protecting women's sports, you need to pick up the phone and you need to call your state officials because the states Can and will fight back. Also, alongside the state's Independent Women's Forum, we are launching a major national lawsuit. You can come check us out on our website.

We have resources, we've got things to talk to. you know, local officials, but this is going to take Every local official saying, we will not comply. We are going to fight this. And it doesn't go into effect until August 1st.

So we do have some time to turn this ship around before the next school year starts. Go do it. Mae Melman, thanks so much. I appreciate what you're doing. It's crazy that you have to do it, but unfortunately, you got the wrong philosophy in Washington.

Thank you.

Hey, thanks, Brian. All right, mate. We come back. Mork, take some of your calls: 1-866-408-7669. Brian, Kilmeetcho.

Expanding your knowledge base. It's the Brian Kilmead Show. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. We've already had Chuck Schumer come out and say he wants regime change in Israel.

I mean think about that. He wants to Israel to get rid of Bibi Netanyahu, the elected leader, 12 years as prime minister or longer, a giant on the world stage. His country was attacked in a terrorist attack that's the worst we've ever seen. The brutality of it made ISIS look moderate. I mean, Hamas is worse than ISIS, they're worse than al-Qaeda.

And what did we do, Mark, when ISIS was running rampant and killed the Americans Foley and Salof and Kasich and Mueller, we tracked him down, we got Baghdadi, we took out the physical caliphate and eliminated ISIS. We should be doing the same thing with Hamas. We should be helping the Israelis, not restraining them. Just amazing. It's amazing.

I just obviously, this stuff was a no-brainer. No brain. Hamas, Hezbollah. Hezbollah was the gold standard. Hamas was the was the nemesis.

Of the Israelis. He was the birth child of the Iranians. We knew that for a fact. And now, all of a sudden, you've got thousands of college students who think they're the next coming. Who don't understand even the culture?

If they really cared about what happened in Gaza, you go over to Gaza and you make your pup tent there. There's issues there, but there's plenty of pestilence around the world. I thought Bill Maher pointed out a great point on Friday night. No one has a problem with China? We're the people who know that Uyghurs are being tortured on a daily basis, the repression that takes place around the world.

You see the Russians just destroying civilian towns in Ukraine. You watch people being cut up, children being kidnapped. Nope, no reason to sit in there. It's Hamas. And Palestinians where the rubber hits the road.

And that they want in return? They want divestment. They do not want Uh you're you the university that they go to and many of which don't, to invest in Israel or Israel to invest in them. Is that up to you? Pick another score.

Dave in Florida, you were talking before about another hot issue. We were talking before another hot issue. And that is men who think they're women playing in women in women's sports. And suddenly, this administration is going to make amendments to Title IX, allowing it to happen. The NIA says, no, it's not going to work.

Dave, what's on your mind?

Well, I'm a WTA coach. I've been coaching on the Women's Tour for thirty years and spent some time with Venus and Serena. And I tell you, if the men were allowed to play on the women's tennis tour, it would ruin the women's tennis tour. And you notice something else. You don't see women knocking down the doors to play in men's sports.

No. And even Venus and Serena tried that when they first came on tour. And there's a funny story. They challenged the 200th-ranked men's player in the world. And He was smoking cigarettes on changeovers and he played around the golf that day and he beat him 0-0, and it wasn't even close.

And why aren't they knocking down the door on men's sports? Because every man out there who wants to play women's sport is making a conscious decision to take advantage of that sport. Exactly it.

So let's say you're somebody who's gender confused. Whatever that's like, I don't envy it. But at the most part, why are you going to try to ruin somebody else's time? Why are you trying to take their spot in high school or their scholarship in college? And if you're going to try yourself in pros, it's a meritocracy.

But if you're that swim coach at the University of Pennsylvania and you see yourself maybe able to win an Ivy Championship when somebody decides to change genders and put on a different type of bathing suit, these coaches are like, yeah, what can I do about it? I might as well win it. I mean, I personally couldn't sleep at night. I agree. I agree.

And every I think they're all making a conscious decision because they know they have the advantage to step into that sport and take advantage of those records and break those records that all these women work so hard to set. You know, the last thing Dave will bring up is what happened in women's rights. I mean, everyone's like, let's give women a chance, let's give the WNBA equal salaries, let's give them the equal airtime. Oh, well, when it comes to a man who wants to be a woman, let's let them have carte blanche, whatever it is. And I think it's a joke, and I think people are going to get really hurt.

In your sport, they just lose. In a sport like soccer, you get your face broken. We've seen it over and over again. We saw it in lacrosse.

Somebody winds up and takes a shot and hits somebody right in the face through the eyeglasses, through the mask.

So, thanks so much for the call, Dave. It's a fact, and people know it. And that's why there's an LPGA tour. And if you go hop on an LPGA tour as a man that decides to want to be a woman, let's see how that goes. It's too bad this administration doesn't have the courage to speak out about this.

And Martina Tilova is getting some blowback because of it. She should be as strong as she was when she came out as a lesbian. Come out even stronger now. You have even more credibility. Brian Kill Mitchell.

From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian. In Kill Mead. Hi, everyone. Welcome.

It's the latest minutes of the Brian Killmeat Show.

So many fast-moving things happening. Last week, I thought it was busy. This week's off to a blitzing Blitzkrieg start. First off, I appreciate everybody's support. Call Rove at the bottom of the hour.

Thanks, everyone, for coming out and seeing us in Henderson, Nevada. It was great seeing all of you in person and the people that came back and talked afterwards. It was great. And Dean Kane to come out and join us, and everyone at K-Dawn for supporting. Just a quick note: so, we've been telling you about what's happening at Columbia University.

This is where it all started.

Now it's in dozens of schools around the country. First, just IVs, Harvard, the worst now. Looks like Harvard's got the new title. They have just let all anarchy break loose, and they're now flying a Palestinian flag where the American flag was at Harvard. Believe me, if you are not Jewish, do not hire anyone from Harvard.

I mean, this is the type of heretics. They got to prove that they weren't involved in this.

Now at Columbia University. Last Thursday, I think it was last Thursday the administration just decided I'm calling the cops. You guys will move out of the center of the square. Jewish kids are saying they feel threatened. You're stopped.

That's exactly what they're going to do. Graduation, you're out of here.

So they pulled up stakes. They put them right back. And then the president got censured for calling the cops, believe it or not.

Now they had days of negotiation, no progress. They wanted the university to divest from Israel. That's not going to happen. and vice versa. Israel divests from work in them.

And now this just came out. Columbia is committed to the well being and safety of all students. It follows two principles, managing public speech on campus and the right of members of the community to engage in protests. As you're probably aware, the dialogue between the university and students of the encampment is regrettably at an impasse, so you have until 2 o'clock today. to pull up all encampments, or you find yourself suspended, The current unauthorized encampment and disruption of Columbia is creating an unwelcoming environment for members of our community.

No joke. What about what's happening outside?

So now Please promptly gather your belongings and leave the encampment. If you voluntarily leave by two, identify yourself to a university official and sign the provided form where you commit to abide by all university policies through june thirtieth. of twenty twenty five, or the date of the conferral of your degree.

Okay, no cops are coming. But a deadline, a hard deadline is coming. Michael Goodwin's here, right in the heart of it for the New York Post, writes about everything. Great column this weekend, but I got to give first on the breaking news. Michael, what's your reaction?

Hi, good morning Brian. Yes, that is interesting. I hadn't heard that statement. I know there had been this sense that the President was stuck between the public demands and then privately the faculty, as you say, was already angry at her merely for calling the cops the first time. The unseen hand here, the unseen power is the Board of Trustees.

We don't know what advice they've been giving her or what they required of her. Recall that she took two members of the board when she testified to Congress with her. And I think that was a pretty smart move because she was basically making the board responsible for not only the testimony, but what has happened since.

So I do believe that this is a smart decision if they're really going to stick to it. And if if the kids If the protesters don't agree, then I think there has to be consequences. And that is the issue, Brian. When you look across the landscape of all of this, Kids want to protest, fine. It's spring.

The sap is running, right? Most protests in college campuses happen in the spring. And that's all fine if you are willing to accept the consequences. That's the definition. That's the compact.

for civil disobedience. Yes, you're entitled to do it, but if and when there are consequences, that's part of the deal too. And that there have been no consequences other than that one radar blip of sending in the police, but they came back the next day. And since then, there have been no efforts to move them off campus other than conversations.

So that's the key to me, and we're seeing it in some other campuses. Certainly in Texas. We saw it over the weekend in Cal some California campuses.

So this is the the important point, I think. Let them demonstrate, let them say whatever they want, but when they break the rules, when they infringe on other people's rights, Then there have to be consequences. And I'm happy to see it looks like Columbia is finally coming to that conclusion. Listen to this Columbia professor, Bruce Robinson. I don't know if you saw him on Sunday on CNN.

He's now on MSNBC. He sees nothing wrong with us. He sides with the students. Picture this: he's a gray-haired white guy, I think he's Jewish, and he's done with Israel. Cut one.

Most of the faculty and I think the student body think that what's gone wrong. is calling in the police. that the protest was calm.

Well organized, not violent. There was little, if any, intimidation of anyone. Um and there are people who don't agree with the protesters. Who absolutely don't agree with bringing in the police. I think that's the single biggest thing.

He went on to say this: cut to. People in the encampment, what we call the encampment, that's the protesters at Columbia. They have not. Shouted out slogans, chanted slogans in support of Hamas or. The wanton destruction of civilian lives on October 7th.

That is simply not the fact. It's a little upsetting I think to everybody at Columbia. That the mainstream media, I mean, as well as the politicians, have confused things that are chanted outside Colombia's gates with things that the Colombia protesters are saying.

That's a flat-out lie. He's not that stupid. He's a very proud, intelligent guy. You talk to these students, these Jewish students, they've been on a lot. At Fox, I talked to about seven of them.

They all feel threatened to go into class, walking past their encampment. It is anti-Semitic and it is pro-Hamas. And we have the proof for him to say that.

Now he's trying to push back on this. That was before the announcement. Go ahead. Yeah, look. We've seen videos of it, right?

There have been videos of students going into into buildings, university buildings, and shouting and banging drums. I mean, this this is not made up.

So the idea that somehow this is perfectly peaceful, respectful, no harm done, that's simply not the case. uh uh of any of these. And look, I think there's also just the idea that the the university told them they couldn't do the encampment. Leave aside the f the fact of the police in that earlier raid. It's clear the university told them not to do it.

So they're breaking the university's rules on that alone. You can't just set up a tent in the middle of the campus and say, well, it's my right because what, Gaza? I mean, that's not how it works, or people would be living out there 365 days of a year. He's wrong that there's no harm here. There is a harm.

And then when you put on top of that all the things we're talking about, the anti-Semitism, the disruptions, the threats, the harassment, that's clearly over the top. But even at minimum, the fact of an encampment on the campus is against the university's rules, and there have to be consequences. You write in your column that the media is playing into this, almost siding with Hamas by the language they're using. Hamas was called a militant group instead of a terrorist group. Netanyahu was hardlined for rejecting a Palestinian state.

Talk about the language being used.

Well, Brian, I think the point I was trying to make in this column was. Was focused on using, as an example, an Associated Press story about an interview one of its freelancers did with a Hamas official in Turkey. And the headline they put on it was: Hamas official says they will lay down its arms in resp in if there's a two-state solution, right? A Palestinian state is created. And it is such a misleading headline and article because it doesn't.

Feature the fact that the conditions attached to it. are so onerous It it's essentially a s uh a suicide pact for Israel. It says, for example, it would have to go back to its pre war 1967 borders, which would mean the West Bank and Gaza, which it took but which it gave back, of course, and East Jerusalem. excepting somewhere along the lines of six million Arabs who consider themselves refugees, they would have to come into the Israel proper, not into those other territories.

So you're talking about the end of Israel. Oh, and the Hamas terrorists who are still alive would become part of a Palestinian National Army. Yeah, no worries there. They can just kill some more Jews. I mean, and yet the AP fell for this, just as many, many, many People in the media are falling for even these campus uprisings that they just want to help poor Gaza.

I mean, why does the Gazan Health Ministry keep lying about the numbers? Why does the media keep reporting those numbers without at least reporting that Israel says roughly 40% of those who are said to have died were terrorists? Why do we never hear the word terrorist? We only hear fighters and militants. But I just I think the AP piece, which is shameful in and of itself, is just part of a larger trend of the media not understanding or not taking at face value or not having a single standard by which to view these events.

Who started this war? I mean you know, you cannot overlook october seventh as somehow as though it's old, well, that's back then, but it's now as now. No, Hamas is using civilians as human shields. And it continues to do that. It's holding hostages.

You might say it's holding all of Gaza hostage, because if it only surrendered, the war would end tomorrow. Absolutely. And some other things going on. You also have some of the hostage families going to bat, I mean or relatives of the hostages. You see those proof of life, thankfully, you got three of them out there.

They're still we're still missing 130 plus hostages. They think there could be as little as 20 left.

So listen to Hannah Siegel seems to be spouting the phrases of, I guess, Chuck Schumer, Cut 14. She's the niece of a U.S.-held hostage. Ultimately, this is a negotiation between Hamas and Prime Minister Netanyahu in Israel. And one of the things that really worries my family and worries me is that it's arguably not in Prime Minister Netanyahu's political interest to close a deal. I mean, this is the attitude that you think that somebody would not get hostages back or end a war and wipe out Hamas so he could stay Prime Minister?

I mean, that's one of the most evil. They say that stuff about Trump all the time. But I mean, here's this woman just making this statement. It's not in his interest to get the hostages back. Look, I'm willing to overlook something that a member of a hostage family says, but I agree with you that this is sort of what Schumer has created, is this attitude that somehow Netanyahu is responsible for failing to get the hostages back, when everybody recognizes, Brian, that the reality is that once Hamas gives up the hostages, there's nothing to save their lives.

that the the the Hamas leaders and terrorists. will all be killed. the minute they don't have the hostages to protect them. That's why they took the hostages in the first place. They knew this was going to happen.

They knew that Israel was going to hit back. And they brought the hostages back to Gaza. Think about that. They went there with the intent not only of killing as many Jews as they could, but of bringing back hostages. In some cases, they brought back corpses.

just so they would have something to negotiate with. Otherwise, they would be flattened, and they knew it. And so for Schumer and for those Students again out there banging on Israel. I think you need to take a tougher look. At what the other side did and what it's doing.

I'm sure Netanyahu. Um is concerned about his cor his personal career and freedom. But I really doubt that he has not done everything he could to get the hostages back because, in fact, if he did, he would be a hero. Finally, I just want to get you on this. Ron DeSantis had brunch with a former President.

Looks like they're mending their ways. Is that important? And would you think that getting with Nikki Haley should also be a priority? Yeah. I was somewhat surprised at the DeSantis Trump meeting, but don't forget.

DeSantis, unlike Nikki Haley, when he dropped out of the race, he endorsed Trump. Haley has never endorsed Trump. And so I think at some point yes, it would be good for the Republican Party if Donald Trump could mend his fences at least superficially with Nikki Haley. But I think that's as much on her as it is him. And she left left without endorsing him.

And uh has basically just disappeared. Um So I'm not sure what she's up to, but look Trump is going to need to unite the Republican Party. If you go by the latest primaries, he's got somewhere around 75 or so percent of Republican voters who are coming out in the primaries are voting for him. He needs to have conversations. Closer to 90, 95 percent as he goes into the general election.

So he and Haley, I think, both are going to have to swallow a little pride to make a deal. It would be good for that. It would be good for the Republican Party to know that about it. The President's got to go back on trial. And lastly, just comment on the fact that the President in a national poll up six now in Joe Biden on CNN.

Yeah, look, I mean, I'm not surprised. I mean, I think, Brian, every time I see a poll, I'm thinking that we have this such an unusual situation here where the former President is now running against the current President. And voters are able to compare the two results very clearly. And Joe Biden is the least successful, most unpopular president in modern times. And so when people say, well, look, I don't like Trump, blah, blah, blah, blah, but things were better.

And things were better. That's a fact. I mean, you w y you look at the economy, you you know, particularly inflation issues, you look at the border and you just look at the world stage. things were better. And there's no I know the New York Times and the others keep trying to say, well, that wasn't perfectly true and blah, blah, blah.

No, it was true. It was true. People remember it that way, and there's nothing you can do to change their memories.

So I think every time I see these polls with Trump up, I'm not surprised. In fact, I think if he would get his act together and he has actually been better, but what I think he has a chance for a Big, big victory, not just a tight one. That would be interesting in spending on this court trial.

Well, if he gets off, he's going to have rocket fuel. Michael Goodwin, and even though we know it shouldn't even be a case, Michael Goodwin, thanks so much. Back in a moment. Don't move. It's Brian Killmead.

The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead. Hey, welcome back. Danny, real quick, you're in Michigan. What's on your mind?

Uh Yes, I have a comment that I'd like to share with the Americans. It's the wake up call. Yep. Our voters are counting on the elections to fix all of our problems.

However, they don't understand the big problem. And what I mean by that is Every day, Americans are facing the seven or eight problems that are in the news all the time. They're in their face.

So they stay focused on those, but the big problem is democracy. And new politicians in Washington are not going to remove the causes of those problems. they won't prevent future problems, and they don't eliminate the reasons for the problems not being solved.

So the elections will never fix what I call the thirteen systemic political process problems which Congress hides behind those agendas. I don't know, Danny. That's a that's a deep thought. I know there's some things that I think a lot can be solved with a new election with people that want to solve them. Crime, punishment, border, there's three.

The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead. New rule, someone needs to tell the people who block traffic in the name of a cause, no one likes you. You have to be pretty dumb to think that the way to bring people around to your point of view is to make them late to pick up their kids from daycare. I have a job, and yes, I'm sure there are injustices on both sides in the Middle East, as there are injustices all over the world, but I'm going to be late for work.

something you protesters on the bridge seem to have the luxury of not having to worry about which seems kind of privilegy. You can glue your hands to the street because your hands don't have to do any work today. And that is Bill Maher speaking out like John Fetterman on people that just are logical, a lot of times over political. And some of the things that are going right now just boggle the mind. And it is the Democratic Party fighting with the Democratic Party.

What's going to happen in Chicago when the DNC starts is not going to be because the Republicans are more popular. It's because they're not happy with Joe Biden's policies on oil, on gas and on his support for Israel.

So you think you're angry at Joe Biden, perhaps? If you're conservative, because he's not drilling, he put a suspension on natural gas drilling in places like Pennsylvania, leases all across the country. The green movement says he's not green enough. Is that crazy to you?

So, this is an in-family fight that Republicans aren't dealt into. Here, to put it in perspective, is Carl Rowe, former deputy chief of staff for George W. Bush, Fox News contributor. Carl, interesting times with these protests. No one's saying the Republicans are right by setting up pup tents.

They're saying Joe Biden's wrong by why? For why is he wrong? For on some level, supporting Israel? Oh, yeah. I mean, look, this is they they insist that he give in, and they want him to join with them in supporting the efforts of Hamas to wipe out the State of Israel.

And I mean, to think about it, these people are chanting things like We are Hamas. And Palestine will be free from the river to the sea, which calls, which is a direct call for the extinction of the Jewish state of Israel. Yeah, and these university presidents who are not standing up and saying our universities will not be cowed and we will not be occupied, we will not be disrupted. The ones that are failing to say that are letting their students and their communities down. What's crazy is within Gaza, there's reports now that people of the Palestinian people are fed up with Hamas saying so if you wanted to start a war, they should have secured the people first, secure a place of refuge, not thrown them into suffering with no one else to bear, and they go to hide.

No kidding. These guys hide in tunnels under hospitals and schools, and then they wonder why civilians get killed. They have absolutely no protection, and they basically steal most of the aid that goes in there. And the Israelis are the bad guys. But the thing is, we used to talk logically, but do you realize there's thousands of 19 to 21-year-olds who vehemently disagree with my last statement?

Well, look, this is an ideological struggle, and we have. Throughout history, moments where a hateful ideology like that of Hamas. Has grabbed the imagination of young people. I mean, what about all those people who joined the Hitler youth? What about all the people who?

sort of waved around Mao's little red book. I mean, all the all the people who fell in line behind Lenin and Stalin. I mean, that's that's what a hateful ideology like that of the terrorists in the Middle East can do to warp the personality of ordinary people.

So, here is, let's go over to politics now. I do have some announcement if you're just tuning in. Columbia University has said that all encampments have to be up by 2 o'clock or you are suspended. And when you pull up your encampment, you have to report yourself and say where you're going. If not, you immediately are kicked off campus, not allowed back on campus.

They're not calling the police, but they're calling for an end to this. My sense is they're not going to leave, Carl, even though graduation's in, I think, a week or two.

So, this standoff is coming to a head. In Harvard, I just saw an email from a seminary professor telling the Jewish kids, you don't come here. The inmates are running the asylum. Harvard is the wild west now, as the students have now taken down the American flag and put up the Palestinian flag. Yeah.

Well I think somebody said the as the divinity professor said the lunatics are running the asylum and yes they are. Look, you're right. I mean let's let's not hold our breath that at 2 o'clock all of those all of those extremists who are Who are putting up their camp at Columbia are going to pack up their tents and go home. They're probably going to need the police to come in and remove those people. The police were more than willing to break up an effort to shut down the city streets.

We had it here in Texas. All it took was a university president who said, We are approaching final. Students are trying to graduate, finish their courses, pass their final exams. And I'm not going to allow the campus to be disrupted and occupied by a small group of both students and off-campus agitators. And we're allowing the state police to come in and remove them by force, if need be.

So let's talk about politics. Joe Biden is too he's got to get away with not talking to any main media outlets. I'm not talking Fox, CNN, ABC, CBS, New York Times. He's going to get away without doing it, it seems. He does Conan O'Brien, Jason Bateman, and then Howard Stern.

At which time on Howard Stern, he made up a bunch of tales that are absolutely unconfirmable. I guarantee you they never happened about five saving five people's lives, being arrested on the porch of a black family who are going to be arrested for something. That never happened. I mean, the amount of tales that came out of that are mind-boggling. But one thing he did say is he wants to debate.

Here's what his former chief of staff Ron Klain said: cut 21. But I think there will be debates. I think what we have to see is something different than we saw in 2016 and 2020, where The debate commission lost control of the debates. Trump didn't follow the rules at all. He talked over his opponents.

There wasn't a fair division of time. It was more of a spectacle than a debate. And it's always going to be true to simply when Donald Trump's on the stage. But we need to have debates where the candidates get equal time. where there's an orderly way of proceeding, where they can be heard, where it's not a shouting match.

Where American people could compare the two people who are the leading candidates for president. His guy did a lot of shouting. Your thoughts? Um I I I I must admit, I was amazed that he said, Yes, I'm going to debate, and I would be very surprised if he did. It almost would be malpractice to let him go into the debate.

I mean, the guy cannot put together two sentences. He did well four years ago, but that's in part because the expectations were so low. Maybe the expectations will be low this time around, and he can go in and muzzle his way through a debate. I doubt we'll have three if we have debates. I doubt that we'll have the three that are now scheduled.

The first one is supposed to be at Texas State University down the road here from Austin and San Marcos. I know the university is getting ready for it, but I'd be shocked if. If there were debates, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were debates, that there ended up being only one like we had in 1980. Your thoughts about Ron DeSantis reaching out and now setting up and having brunch with the former president? Looks like they're going to try to work together.

Your thoughts? Well, I hope President Trump did reach out to him. If he did, that was smart. Because it's been too long. He's the Republican nominee.

He needs to unite the party. And the best way to do that is to be gracious and to ask for a chance to meet with Governor DeSantis and with Governor/slash Ambassador Haley and smoke the peace pipe. And that's what leaders who want to win do. And it's been too long. DeSantis basically exited the race.

uh after uh after New Hampshire. And it's about time. It's way past time.

Now the question is going to be how much hard feelings is there? And what do each man say when asked about the comments by the Trump campaign of that mocked DeSantis in a very personal way. But, you know, if the former president asked for the meeting, smart on him and gracious for Governor DeSantis to agree to it. It looks like DeSantis reached out through some rich guy, Steve Wetkoff, a Florida real estate broker. It looks like DeSantis then got a call from the president at a private club, at Shell Bay Club, a private club over in Hollywood, Florida, and they agreed to have breakfast with Trump.

So we'll see what comes out of this, at the very least, fundraising. Do you think that makes him a does it make it possible that he could be a running mate?

Well, first of all, we got a Twelfth Amendment problem. Both men are registered to vote in Florida, President Trump at Mar a Lago and Governor DeSantis at his home up on the I think it's called the Space Coast.

So you got a problem. President Trump would need to re-register either in New York, which I don't think he'd be particularly inclined to do, or at his place in New Jersey, because the 12th Amendment says you cannot cast the electoral votes of a state for a presidential and vice presidential candidate from the same state.

So Florida has a bunch of electoral votes, and I'm sure they'd won them both for the president and the vice presidential contest. When you look at running mates, Governor Bergham's stock has come up lately. You know Trump. You know what he needs. Uh but you know what he likes.

Do you look at the governor of North Dakota who says I'm not running again and has been by the President's side a lot? And I talked to him last Thursday. He was in studio again. He says their families have hit it off. Do you see synergy there?

Does he help Trump? Look, I think what helps Trump is if somebody says when they look at his running mate, that person could be president. Because it makes Trump look bigger. It also reminds people of one of the big concerns that they have, which is. Joe Biden has a running mate who nobody believes could be president.

So yes, Bergham, look, Doug Bergum is a friend of mine. I like him a lot. He is a wildly successful business guy and has been a terrific governor of North Dakota, dealing with lots of different challenges. I think it'd be interesting because while he doesn't have the profile of, let's say, a Tom Cotton or a Tim Scott or a Glenn Youngkin, what will happen is people will get to know him. And my suspicion is they'll say, wow, that guy in a little state like North Dakota started a software company that became so successful that it was bought for a large amount of money by Microsoft.

And then he became a major executive with Microsoft. What an accomplished guy that is. And then he devotes himself to public service and is the governor of a state dealing with issues like energy and agriculture and national security. And he'd been a very effective governor.

So that could be interesting. But think about it. Tom Cotton. Brian Kemp, Glenn Younken, Tim Scott. These are some of the other names that have been mentioned, all of which I think would cause people to say, you know what, that is a good choice.

They can be president if something bad happened. And oh, it reminds me that, you know, I don't want that other person over there on the other side who's vice president who might become president because that guy's too old. I mean, it just could have a very subtle influence on this that could be helpful to President Trump's efforts. And I've thought of you when I saw Mitch McConnell doing interviews this weekend, and I think we both are on the same page about the need to push back on the Russians and Chinese everywhere they look to expand. Here's what Mitch McConnell said: cut 33.

What is your message to the isolationists in the Republican Party? that Ronald Reagan had it right. You get peace, there is strength. And I would say to the Democrats, They've got a problem. on the left.

So it's not just us having kind of an isolationist discussion. You've got Visible. Anti-Semitism. On the left.

So We've all got to get serious about the challenges ahead of us. engaging in Anti-Semitic behavior in the United States needs to be stood up to by the So I know you he was doing his interviews. I don't think I'm being reactionary in saying we still got to go with that same game plan. You agree that a forward looking a forward looking foreign policy still has pushback everywhere? Look, we live in a world more dangerous than probably any moment since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

We don't face just one enemy like we did for most of the Cold War. We faced a Soviet Union. Today we face Russia, which is aggressively attempting to destable Europe. We have Iran, which is attempting to destable the Middle East. The Ayatollah's.

We've got China, which is more aggressive than it has been in our lifetimes, attempting to grab control of the South China Sea and to threaten Japan and to take Taiwan and to threaten the Philippines and Vietnam. We've got North Korea, which has now said we no longer believe in peaceful coexistence with the South. We believe in reunification with the South by whatever means are necessary. We need to do remember what Ronald Reagan said, which is the way to peace is by being strong enough that our adversaries and our allies don't want to threaten us and our allies in our interests. Anybody who thinks the world will be better if we withdraw and allow the North Koreans and the Chinese and the Ayatollah and the Russians to do what they will.

Is beyond idiocy. It puts America and our future and our prosperity and our peace much at risk. But I do think it's an oversimplification to say when people say Trump's an isolationist, he wasn't like that with Iran. He wasn't like that with Venezuela. He wasn't like that with Cuba.

He was willing to cut trade agreements internationally with our allies and one we were beginning with our enemy.

So he just had a different approach. Let's give him credit, too. Like every other president, the last four presidents before him, he made the point: NATO needs to meet its commitments. And he did it a little bit more rambunctiously than others. But look at the countries between what he did when he was president and what Putin has done to frighten the Europeans.

I never thought I'd live to see the day when Finland and Sweden would join the United Nations. I actually mean to join NATO. I never thought I'd see the day that Poland would be one of several countries in Europe spending a greater percentage of its GDP on defense than is the United States of America. It is, it is true. And that's one thing about President Biden.

He has gone below inflation on defense spending increases at a time of all the challenges you outlined. Carl, always great to talk to you. Thank you.

All the best. All right.

All right, we're going to finish up with some of your calls and some more insight. We're also following the story in Columbia. Time is ticking. They got two hours to pull up the tents. My sense, nothing's changing, which means bring in the NYPD.

And if I'm them, I'm thinking to myself, maybe not. I'll tell you why, don't move. Covering this election year like no other. It's Brian Kilmead. He's so busy, he'll make your head spin.

It's Brian Kilmead. Nothing really affects comedy. People always need it. They need it uh so badly. And they don't get it.

It used to be you would go home at the end of the day, most people would go, Oh, Cheers is on, oh, MASH is on, oh, Mary Tyler Moore is on, all in the family's on. You just expected there'll be some funny stuff we can watch on TV tonight.

Well, guess what? Where is it? This is the result of the extreme left and PC crap and people worrying so much about offending other people. When you write a script and it goes into four or five different hands. Hands, committees, groups, here's our thought about this joke.

Well, that's the end of your comedy. They move the gates like in skiing. Culture, the gates are moving. Your job is to be agile and clever enough that wherever they put the gates, I'm gonna make the gate. Such a great point.

And for me, if you have a script and you have a writer like Seinfeld or these guys who write these scripts, you don't give them to executives to write, but you have to worry about who you're offending. Then you got to worry about how to cast it. And it's got to not be the funniest, but it's got to be the most diverse cast. And they say that today, friends could never get cast again. As much as you might like the show, I'm not the hugest fan, but I'm one of the few.

They say five white people in New York City would never fly again. Is that crazy? Instead of who the five funniest people are. Uh Mike in Amarillo. Hey, Mike.

Hey, how are you doing, Brian? What's on your mind? You're talking about these student protests. What's bothering me is we're looking at all these universities, and of course, I live in the great state of Texas that said that, hey, you want to graduate. knock this off and we just won't put up with that here.

But where are all these people getting these identical tents? I know. If you look at every one of these things, all those tents are the same brand, same model, all across the country. You know what bothers me, Mike? What bothers me is it's happening in smaller schools across the country, places like Emerson and others I never even heard of.

And I'm seeing it happen. I mean, you're talking about dozens of schools now. I'm worried that this, having said the funding and the manipulation's there. But I'm wondering who is I'm wondering why why they think it's okay. They think it's a big party.

Are they that uneducated? Or do they think they know? They think they know better than our State Department, our government. It's crazy. But the funding is something we have to look into too.
