From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmead. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kill Me Joe. And I mean, latest, as in things are breaking all around us.
I'll keep you up to date on all the events happening at UCLA. They started moving at 8 o'clock local time, nobody moved. Cops were there, they didn't want to break the encampment. Finally, cops broke in, and man, they were fortified. It went over the course of.
Four hours to see this takedown and see these mutants who are holding up on that campus, many of which aren't students.
Some somehow got into college and managed to get nose rings and tattoos and not shower and not miss a fried food meal. These are just despicable-looking people who despise the country. By the thousands, they have gathered. You saw Columbia offensive enough. This was even worse.
And I believe without the Israeli protest, the pro-Israeli counter-protesters yesterday, the UCLA idiots, the administration probably would have left them on campus for the rest of the semester. Brett Baer is standing by, Ted Cruz at the bottom of the hour. Let's get to right to Brett. Hey, Brett, can you believe this is America as you see some of the graffiti on the UCLA walls now and the crowd has finally been dispersed? Yeah, it's pretty amazing if you think of uh all that's transpired in the last couple of weeks um and listen, a lot of these universities, police departments, there's a lot of criticism that they waited too long.
I think in the wake of Columbia and what's going on in New York, a lot of other colleges are starting to act Quicker. I mean, the University of Florida was right away dealt with it, and others are following suit. I think, you know, this is not the end of this. And you're right to point out that there are outside agitators that are involved in this. You heard Mayor Eric Adams talk about that.
But there are students as well. And how the repercussions go and what penalty they face, I think, is a big part of the equation. I want you to hear Mayor Eric Adams. And by the way, we see the account in what a mess. You see these umbrellas and these tents and the pup tents and all the garbage that's been accumulated over the last three weeks.
And you should know, too, as they were being zip tied, they were shooting fire extinguishers at the cops. And they had flashbangs, and then they had these strobe lights to try to blind the cops and stop them from coming in. They kept their composure, they slowly moved in, they ringed the whole group. And when they took their masks off, they were smiling. They feel proud of what they did.
But Eric Adams, I think, reflects how a lot of people feel. Cut one.
Well, we're going to protect our city from those who are attempting to do what is happening globally. There is a movement to radicalize young people. And I'm not going to wait until it's done. and all of a sudden acknowledge the existence of it. This is a global problem that young people are being influenced by those who are professionals at radicalizing our children.
And I'm not going to allow that to happen as the mayor of the city of New York. I love his statement.
So he wasn't reading notes. He had a press conference yesterday, about 24 hours ago, and that was his spirit. He also says, I'm pro-American. When you take down an American flag and put up the Palestinian flag at Harvard, at City College, at Columbia, he's got a problem with that. I imagine almost everyone listening does.
Yeah, and that is something that you could imagine a President of the United States saying from the podium. You could imagine it. It's just we haven't seen it as of yet. And I think there's some questions about You know, where President Biden is verbally. Obviously, they put out paper statements and they've had.
Carring Jean-Pierre out, but the President hasn't said that, and that is kind of a presidential statement. But he's been invisible. One casual remark while walking in the woods on Earth Day. That's it. The rest is a, you know, KJP has nothing to say, goes through a book, really says almost nothing about it, and centers Schumer too.
This guy calls a press conference about Zin, talks about energy drinks, and Kunt called a press conference about anti-Semitism roiling American campuses. As a Jewish American, it is It to me it makes It defies logic. Is it pure politics? Is that all it can be? I I'm guessing it is, but I mean, he's the highest ranking A Jewish American official.
As the Senate Majority Leader, and it's happening in his backyard, a lot of these incidents. uh Senator Schumer President Biden too. I mean, there it seems like low hanging fruit. to be able to do something like that. But I I guess There is this hat tip to the far left of the party and the squad and concern about Michigan and Minnesota.
So, I want you to hear what KJP said yesterday when asked about this. Um Here here's what, uh, cut 21. The President is being kept regularly updated on what's happening. As you just stated across the country, he is monitoring the situation closely, so is his team. And I would just add that no President, no President has spoken more forcefully about combating anti-Semitism than this President.
I mean, what do you say to that? I mean, he hasn't done it recently. I mean, maybe he did it before he ran and talking about Charlottesville. But if you're going to say and Peter Ducey asked a great question about what he said back then, saying silence is complicity, And he just hasn't weighed in. And it's obvious.
And there's there's some reason why, and you can only get to the fact that it's political but Um at this point, I would think it's time for a a statement. I would think so. And an aggressive statement. Then what they said? May 7th, he's going to speak at the Holocaust Museum.
Is he really going to wait till May 7th? It is May 2nd. He's going to wait five more days, knowing what's happening at these other college campuses. I mean, I could bore you with it, but the list really goes on 10 pages. I mean, at City College, you could do it right away: Dartmouth, USF.
Uh Madison, Wisconsin. Yale, this is ongoing. Emory, Stanford, UNC has just gotten a hold of their situation. We see it at George Washington just around the block from you, Brett. Yeah, no, it's it's very prevalent and it's it's everywhere and You know, it's anti-Israel, uh but as we've seen many times I think we might have lost contact, but sometimes go ahead, Brad.
We're just losing a little.
Sorry. It it just, um, seems like low hanging fruit.
So while I was on, while we were on this morning talking to some great guests and watching this whole thing unfold in real time, Global Lee Majiness doing a great job keeping us updated. Here's what MSNBC was taking. They seem to have a different attitude now, Cut 18. These protesters are going to hand the election to Donald Trump. We are going to have fascism as a result of these protesters.
Joe Biden, you need to step up right now. What exactly, though, is he supposed to do? I mean, these need to be... Certainly come out. Call it out.
Call it out. Call it what it is. And call it what it is. We need to know what it is. These are people that are breaking the law.
That's correct. Protest peacefully. Learn about the situation. Right. They have a different tone.
They know that the president is, by the way, there was a lot of inflammatory language towards President Biden, nothing about Trump. We know about in Dearborn, the president can't even go there. He gets shouted down every time he gives a speech.
So they're not saying Trump's got it right or got it wrong. They're not even acknowledging the Republicans. They are critical of him. And at the same time, Brad, he's done the impossible. He's alienated the American Jewish community.
So he's done both. Yeah, it's pretty remarkable as a political moment. I will say that some of these channels started by saying this is a no. non-story and it's made up By conservative media, all of these college campus chaos. Pieces.
And now that they are embracing things. It's what we saw with the story of immigration along the border. It's what we saw with big city crime and the issue of crime. It was kind of blown off at first as a story, as a concern, and now it's bubbled to the forefront. And they see it not as a major, major problem, but as a political vulnerability that the president has to solve.
And by the way, the squad is mad at the president for not being stronger on Israel, while at the same time, the Secretary of State is giving Netanyahu hell and telling him he better not go into Rafah. I don't like your battle plan. I need more aid in there when. Right now, it's in the Israelis' best interest to go through Rafah and do the best they can to erase Hamas in the area. Because every time there's these protests, Iranian protests, every time there's a protest in America roiling our campuses.
Hamas's uh leverage gets greater. And it makes it harder to do a hostage deal. Yes, we should point out that Hamas has turned down three hostage deals so far. But the onus has not been on Hamas in any of these campus protests. It's not been free the hostages putting, you know, the the onus on Hamas.
It's been on Israel.
Now we can't discount all the civilian casualties and all of that has happened. But you're right. The U. S. is trying to micromanage a military plan, and I'm not sure that side's going to work either.
I'm not either.
So we'll see how this goes. The former president speaking right now before he goes into court, and he seems right now, I'm trying to look at it in real time, he seems to be talking mostly about his campaign stops and how he'd rather be on the campaign trail. It isn't interesting, Brad, and I'll leave you here: is that while Alvin Bragg sees NYU, City College, Columbia, FIT, Fordham, all overwhelming our NYPD with sit-ins and protests and some violence. And Jews, anti-Semitism that makes Jews feel unsafe on those campuses in and around those buildings. Alvin Bragg sits all day to go after a president about something that may or may not have happened in 2009 that might have affected 2016.
Here we are in 2024. How unbelievable. Come here, contrast where the real problem is in this city and where he's focused, where his focus is. Yeah, it's a little surreal. And right now, politically, it is a beneficial to the former President, who seems to be energized by it, seems to be focused more on the campaign trail when he gets out of that courtroom.
So right now, it's his benefit.
Now, a conviction, there's another question, what it means to independence and suburban women. But right now, This is going to his benefit. All right. Brett, we'll look forward to watching all day, and of course, on special report. Brett Baer, thank you.
We'll see. All right. Ted Cruz at the bottom of the hour. He's in a much tighter race than everybody thought. He wants people to understand that.
In Texas, they're putting a lot of resources to blowing him out. They know they're going to lose West Virginia. They know they could lose Ohio. They know they could lose Pennsylvania. They know they could lose Montana.
Now they know they could lose Maryland. They can only have one seat to lose to Democrats, and they think they could flip a sitting seat from Rick Scott to Senator Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz on this and so much more. We have a couple of moving targets. We'll bring you back some highlights from President Trump's remarks moments ago.
You'll listen to the Brian Kilmead show. It's Brian Kilmead. I'm Charles Payne. Listen to my Unstoppable Prosperity podcast so I can get you making money right now. Whether stocks are hitting new all-time highs or in freefall mode, opportunities abound.
So, why are so many potential investors still sitting on the sidelines? In a new season of my podcast, I'm going to get you in the game. After 38 years on Wall Street, I'm ready to impart some lessons and get you invested in the greatest wealth generation. Machine in history. Listen anytime, everywhere at Foxbusiness Podcast.com or wherever you listen to your favorite podcast.
A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Killmeat Show. Instead, they wait and wait and wait. They know it's not a good case, and now it's turned out to be they've lost every, I mean, they have no case. They have no case, but we have a very uh conflicted judge, unfortunately, and uh so you never know.
But other than that, there's no case and it should have never been brought. But if it was going to be brought, it should have been brought eight years ago. You know, we're talking about 2015-2016. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. And they wait till I announce, and then they start their faction, and then they wait till prime time, Super Tuesday.
It all started. Super Tuesday, the biggest day. Yeah, day 10. That was the president literally two minutes ago. Uh day ten of the New York Trump uh uh the New York versus Donald Trump trial.
And he's right. Uh listen.
Some of you out there may not like Trump, or you love. Liz Cheney, or something, or you think Barack Obama walks on water, whatever it is, you have to look at this case and say it's totally illogical to bring it. And you act like this is a case that's got to be solved. This is a criminal case that needs to be dealt with. This is a totally trumped-up case against Donald Trump, leaning on Michael Cohen.
There's a big story in the New York Times today.
Sometimes I get the Washington Post and the New York Times flip-flop, but talk about one thing is clear: everybody hates Michael Cohen, and this idiot is. Is told, you know what? If you continue to talk about Trump, I'm going to lift the gag order and let him talk about you again. He goes on TikTok where people have to pay to listen to him stream.
So he goes on an evil empire app. He goes on TikTok talking about this case, talking about where we're going to go. Do you know that if Donald Trump's defense is worth Anything and he's cost them a lot of money, you know, they're going to be listening. They're going to be listening for holes in his argument. One thing is pretty clear from Stormy Daniels' lawyer that is on there that talked about how horrible it was dealing with Michael Cohen, how he'd come up screaming all the time, how with David Pecker, same thing, he was unreliable, wouldn't pay, would pay, would demand instant answers on things, and when he refused to pay, he would just go apoplectic.
And the big problem he's going to have is: I did everything on behalf of Donald Trump.
Okay, fine. Prove it.
Well, I didn't have. Did you tell him? Did he say go up to $250,000? Yeah, he did.
Okay, I'll go by your word. Really? Do you have any proof of that?
Well, here's a text message saying thanks.
So that's what's going to go back and forth. And then when you do it, you say to yourself, Legal fees to kill a story, legal fees for NDA. If people have doesn't have to be a porn star, it could be a business deal, could be a family member like crazy Mary Trump. If he comes, she comes out against you and she's got a problem because her dad, Fred Trump, evidently Donald Trump, I guess, inherited the business. If Fred Trump died of alcoholism, she's a bitter, angry person, whatever.
So let's say you don't want all this stuff to come out about your family. You're running for office. You're trying to get a deal done. You're trying to be on a board. You're trying to get into a condo complex.
Whatever it is. You're allowed to have an N D A with people and pay them money.
So this whole case is built on a house of cards.
So we'll see, and the president's got to sit there. It's going to be another day. They said by Memorial Day, so let me see. We're just in May 2nd. You're talking about another 20 days.
And then defense got to go on. And it's brutal because you've got to be somewhere in places and you can't have a phone. He got reprimanded for having any type of phone. The President of the United States was going to call into Fox today. He got his message a little bit late, but he was on last night.
He has no problem answering instinctively about what should be happening on these campuses. He queued it up and he goes off. He goes, Oh, yeah, you got a problem on these campuses? You got to crack down right away. Joe Biden's invisible.
Plus, he's got no integrity when it comes here. He's so afraid of what people are going to say. Here's Donald Trump. In Waukesha, Wisconsin. On On the the new plan.
about the encampments. Here's what he said, cut nineteen. To every college president, I say remove the encampments immediately, vanquish the radicals and take back our campuses for all of the normal students who want a safe place from which to learn. But when you see that video of raging lunatics and Hamas sympathizes at Columbia And other colleges, no, but when you look at it, I say, where did these people come from? I don't know people like that.
I mean, I deal with a lot of people. Where do they come from? And they do come from other countries and they are paid. And that's just it. You have to unwind.
You put your Department of Justice not on Donald Trump's bank account or the loans he took out and paid back. You put your Department of Justice not on Donald Trump's documents. You put your Department of Justice on unwinding the groups behind this. Mayor Adram said it yesterday. We all know it.
There's groups being out there paying and radicalizing the next generation of empty headed Americans, and it's really working. I'm talking about big colleges, little colleges, the major ones we reported on, how states handle it's important. But fundamentally, when you take a step back and you clear up these encampments, What were they thinking? You're taking a $72,000 school. They say if you stay in that tent, you.
You get suspended, your credits don't count, and you stay in the tent. What were they thinking? What are they thinking? They stayed there through the tear gas and everything else. Today, with the LAPD and California Highway Patrol, they stayed the whole time.
They're in jail right now. What were they thinking? A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmead. I think it's incumbent upon the president to have an Oval Office address, not just about these protests, but about what's going on in the world against the Jewish people.
Here's a chance to rise to the occasion. He's ducking this issue. He's afraid of the Hamas wing of the Democratic Party.
So I would urge President O'Biden. To Address the nation and be clear that every Jewish student in this country attending any university will be protected by his administration. But instead, we get nothing and we say, there's going to be a big speech May 7th at the Holocaust Library. Really? Did you see what took place last night at UCLA?
Did you see what took place two nights ago at Columbia? Do you see what happened at Fordham yesterday? Do you see what's happening at the University of Southern Florida? Do you see what's happening at the University of Texas, Austin? Do you see what's taking place at Emory Northwestern and around the and this present?
What could be more important? than the major campuses in your country that you're supposed to be leading, but he doesn't want to do that. I because he clearly is worried about alienating more potential pro Palestinian, pro Hamaz voters that evidently live in Michigan. And maybe Minnesota. Senator Ted Cruz joins us now, member of Foreign Relations and the Judiciary Committee.
He's running for reelection. Right now, it's in tough fight with Colin Allred. But Senator, your reaction to what Senator Lindsey Graham requested?
Well, I think Lindsay's exactly right. I I gotta say Joe Biden and the entire Democrat Party leadership has been AWOL as we are seeing this horrific anti-Semitism erupting on college campuses across the country. The protest, the anti-Semitic protest, the anti-Israel protests we're seeing have been disgusting. They have been repulsive. These are radicals.
Whose minds have been poisoned. They have been taught to hate Israel and they've been taught to hate America. And they are chanting in support of Hamas, in tur in support of vicious. Terrorists. Yeah.
The Orthodox rabbi at Columbia Center. Advising them to stay home because they said Columbia cannot and will not protect your safety. That is utterly unacceptable, and the university administrators. They side with the radicals, they side with the protesters, and Joe Biden, and Chuck Schumer, and the Democrat leadership. Is terrified of alienating the radical anti-Israel base, and so they are silenced.
Joe Biden is basically in witness protection because he's unwilling to speak out and infuriate the radical left in the Democrat Party. And when they're leaning on the cops, not Joe Biden specifically, but most of this party, Corey Bush, still goes to fund the police. They are not pro-law enforcement, and now they're leaning on law enforcement to fix this job, to go in there, let the Columbia encampments take root for three weeks. They let UCLA encampments take root, and then they say to the cops, yeah, go fix this. Really?
Listen to the police commissioner of New York talking about trying to take back the building last night, cut five. They tried to knock us out. But the NYPD and the people of the city of New York We'll never be locked down and we will always work together to keep our students safe. Uh And they just put locks on the doors. This was an official capacity.
These people knew exactly what they were doing. They knew how to barricade these doors. You know, 11th, you know, juniors at Columbia aren't really known for their innovative blue-collar skills. But if the people that are radicalizing them are, there's something to be unwound here at the base of this, isn't there? There absolutely is.
And Brian, think how different it would be with real presidential leadership. I'll tell you, the President should have spoken out immediately, and the President should have said, this is unacceptable. We will not allow people to harass and threaten the safety of Jewish students on campus. And any radical who is protesting, who threatens another student. They will be arrested.
They will be prosecuted. They will be expelled, and if they are not from America, they will be deported. There's no reason we should allow foreigners who are chanting death to America to stay in on a discretionary visa. That's what leadership would be. You know, think back to President Dwight D.
Eisenhower when you had racist. Democrats in the South refusing to integrate schools, refusing to protect African-American students, President Eisenhower sent in the National Guard. Joe Biden is not willing to do anything, and the reason is This is a growing part of the Democrat Party. There's a growing faction in the Democrat Party that hates Israel, that is openly anti-Semitic, and it's not just the squad. You know, just a few days ago, AOC was standing next to Joe Biden.
And she explicitly expressed her concern. She spoke out in solidarity with the rabid anti-Semites at Columbia and NYU and Yale. And Biden stood next to her, just grinning with a goofy grin and unwilling to say anything to the contrary. It's unbelievable, but you know what's unbelievable too? We hear about some radical professors, but now I think they're the majority.
Listen to this city college professor talk about how he's standing with the students. And look at what they uh demand. Cut fifteen. The encampment's five demands, and I'm just going to reiterate those. The first is disclose and divest.
CUNY must divest its 8.4 million invested in tech weapons and surveillance that aid Zionist colonization and commit to financial transparency. Second, boycott. Ban all academic trips to the Zionist state encompassing birthright, Fulbright, and prospective trips. And cancel all forms of cooperation with Israeli academic institutions, including events, activities, agreements, and research collaborations or projects. Third, solidarity.
They are calling, the encampment is calling on the administration to release a statement affirming the right of the Palestinian people to resist for national liberation and the right of return and protect pro-Palestine students and workers from retaliation and repression. What is your take on Professor Karine? Look, th th these people are radicals and they're racists. And understand, this is the poison. of cultural Marxism.
As you know, I recently wrote a book called Unwoke. how to defeat cultural Marxism in America. And it is cultural Marxism that has taken over our universities, and it divides the world into oppressors and victims. And to the radical left, they have defined Jews and not just Israelis, all Jews they have defined as oppressors. And they have defined Palestinians as victims.
And Once they make that definition under the tenets of cultural Marxism, They support the violent revolution of the so-called victims. Against the so-called oppressors. Notice one of the demands from that professor: the right to resist. She is explicitly defending and embracing Hamas terrorism. On October 7th, They murdered over 1,200 civilians.
They targeted the elderly. They raped women and little girls. I've seen the videos, Brian. It is horrific. It is evil.
It is the single worst mass murder of Jews on. On one day since the Holocaust. And these radicals are celebrating it. At the University of Washington this past week, the radicals were chanting to Jewish students: go back to the gas chambers. These are bigots.
And they hate Israel and they hate America. And if it were just a radical fringe, you could dismiss it. But what is really disturbing is the Democrats are terrified to stand up to them because that is their base. And so I look, I'm less concerned about the AOCs and the Omars and the Talib, the squad They're kooks and they're bigots. I'm much more concerned about the so-called mainstream Democrats like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.
All of whom stand with the radicals. And Chuck Schumer just a few weeks ago stood on the Senate floor and demanded that the democratically elected leader of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, be thrown out of power. That has never happened in the history of the Senate. It was disgraceful. And and I'm told there's a joke in Jerusalem that that Schumer's speech was all about the two-state solution, the two-states being Michigan and Nevada.
It's domestic politics. And they're terrified of their angry left-wing base. There's no doubt about it. And Senator, I know it's not your chamber, but your party has the majority in one body. It is the House, and it has two or three seats now.
It hasn't stopped Marjorie Taylor Greene for asking for the ouster of Speaker Johnson. Listen to this. Yeah. We have. Hakeem Jeffries.
and the Democrats coming out. Embracing Mike Johnson. with a warm hug and a big wet sloppy kiss. And they are ready to they have endorsed him. They are ready to support him as speaker.
They want to keep it going, keep the band together. Why? Because Mike Johnson is giving them everything they want. And she's going to have a motion to vacate on Monday. I know the President of the United States, the former President, has said.
Leave Speaker Johnson, you know, doing a great job. What is your message? Look, I agree with. President Trump, I think Mike Johnson is a strong conservative. I think he has a virtually impossible job because he's got a tiny majority in the House, just two votes.
And frankly, he's got people like Marjorie Taylor Greene who will run off on any crazy wild tangent. I think what she's doing is ridiculous. I think it is foolish. And I think it is really counterproductive. That she's trying to throw the house into chaos and she's risking handing the speakership over to the Democrats.
Part of the reason that Johnson can't win more conservative victories is people like Marjorie Taylor Greene won't actually stand up and take victories. Instead, they grandstand I think this is hurting conservative principles and it's hurting the Republican majority that is already very fragile in the House. If you guys are going to win the Senate, you have to win your seat. You're up by, on the real queer average, up by eight points. But you have told I've listened to you with Sean.
You're worried. Brian, this is a very real fight. This is a real race. Chuck Schumer has been explicit. I'm the number one target in the country.
There is that there and it's not complicated. Look, if i if you're a left-wing Democrat, After Donald Trump. There's nobody in the country you want to beat more than me. And so Schumer and George Soros are going to spend more than $100 million. Trying to beat me in Texas.
My last race in 2018 was the most expensive Senate race in U.S. history. We were outspent 3-1. And I won by less than three points. I won by 2.6 percentage points.
And they are going to spend between $100 and $150 million in Texas.
Soros is already flooding millions into the state of Texas. And so I would encourage your listeners, go to our website. It's tedcruise.org. Go to tedcruise.org and make a contribution. Give 25 or 50 or 100 bucks or 500 or 1,000 if you can, because The radical left they want to defeat me, and they know if they flip Texas, they take the country.
We're going to win, but we're going to win because patriots across the country are going to Tedcruise.org. They're supporting our campaign. And the $25 that you give today lets us stay. Up to the $100 million that is coming from Schumer and Soros to try to defeat me and to try to flip the state of Texas. When you see the president on the stump, this is their campaign he's running.
You saw it up close and personal, 2016, 2020, now 24. I watched two speeches, a lot of two speeches yesterday, and we see him in court today. Where do you think his team is at now? And comparing to when he ran for reelection in 2020 and shocked everyone in 2016, how would you compare his place right now, six months into the election in 2024? Listen, there's no doubt his political team is more effective than in prior cycles.
They're more professional. They're doing a better job of organizing.
Now, they're facing an extraordinary challenge in that with the weaponizing of the legal system. Trump is stuck in court every day, which is a terrible way. He should be able to be out campaigning, and we've seen. Democrats really what they're doing by indicting him over and over and over again, these partisan Democrats. What they're doing is waging a war on democracy.
You know, there's an irony, there's a Freudian projection in that Democrats beat their chest and say, we're defending democracy. And what they accuse the other side of doing is what they are, in fact, doing. The reason for these indictments of these court cases. Is because they're terrified the American people are going to vote for Donald Trump, and they're trying to prevent that. But I'll tell you.
in in many ways the strongest asset That Trump has in his re-elect is the American people have seen what an absolute train wreck Joe Biden and the Democrats' agenda is. They've seen inflation, they've seen chaos at the southern border, they see two wars across the globe, they see the radical anti-Semites and Marxists on college campuses that are the base of the Democrat Party. And I think all of that. Is bringing a whole lot of people, even people who in 2020 voted for Joe Biden because maybe they didn't like a tweet or something Donald Trump said. And they're sitting there saying, Wow, my life was a lot better.
My family was a lot safer. We were doing better when Republicans were in charge than we are when these radicals in the Democrat Party are. endangering the safety of my family. Yeah, it's going to be a tough run, but I think he's leading in every battleground state. He's got a five-footed tie in some polls in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, but not trailing anywhere.
Senator, it's going to be interesting. Best of luck with your race.
So, Ted Cruz, this is not a layup just because it's Texas. They want to knock him out. And, Senator, I know you're up for the fight. Thanks so much. And one last thing.
Next week, we will launch on Dallas, K-L-I-F, and I hope you could join us for that. Great, we'd love to. All right, great. We'll be back in a moment with your calls. You listen to the Brian Killmee chair.
Newsmakers and Newsbreakers, hear it first on The Brian Kilmeat Show. The more you listen, the more you'll know. It's Brian Kilmead. There's been some people kind of coming up to you. They're still chanting here right now.
What are they saying to you? They are saying I'm a baby killer. They're saying that I am a baby killer. I have to say I've never killed one baby in my life. What's your response then?
I will have to say that I I am for peace in the Middle East, as well as all the Jewish people, and Hamas is also killing babies. Right. That's their goal. If a kid dies because of Israeli ordinance, it is a mistake. It is a collateral damage, which they regret.
Hamas says: if you're Jewish, you die. In fact, they took hostage everything from an eight-month-old to an 80-year-old.
So that proves it. I mean, that's some of the lunacy. Lunacy that's out there today, what we're witnessing at such a great rate. I mean, you're talking about thousands of people. And a lot have been arrested and I was shocked to find I shouldn't be shocked.
But in Columbia, These arrests, most of the 300 plus arrests are death warrants. It's a fine. Death warrants Gary, you're listening in Daytona, Florida. Hey, Gary. Good morning, Brian.
A few nights ago, Professor Dershowitz made a comment that rang true really last night. I was watching it for a couple of hours. And he said that it's such a straight line anymore that he's afraid of from protester. to agitator to being radicalized. And then he goes, the worst fear is having someone actually become a terrorist out of out of the out of the group.
And he said that in his experience, which he does have a lot, he listed a lot of stuff, the sixties and seventies, the people he represented in his knowledge, He said that's what scares him the most is it's just a straight line. There's no doubt about it. I mean, the Justice Department's got to get involved in this. I mean just to think, if these like it was obvious with Vietnam. I'm going to get drafted, right?
I'm in college and I'm against the war. And even those people who fought in the war, you understand why they were protesting. You'd go, yeah, you should fight. And other people would say, I get it. All right.
You know, civil rights, segregation, Jim Crow, uh, separate bathrooms, separate water fountains, these are American problems. I want to march for that, I agree with that, whatever it is, but I get it. You don't have to define it for me, I I I know exactly what I'm seeing. I don't know what I'm seeing right now. I don't know where this came from.
They have no idea about the complexity of the Middle East. Do they know about the Oslo Agreement? Do they know about the Belford Agreement Declaration? Do they know about how these two-state solutions was originally the plan? How the Palestinians picked up and left and then tried to take the whole country?
There were no Palestinians before this, and then everybody attacked the Israelis' pushback in 48, 67, and 73. Do they know how hard so many different administrations worked on a two-state solution until finally we realized it was fruitless and ridiculous when Hamas won an election? We don't deal with a terror group. And they said, good, because we don't want to deal with you. We want to kill you.
and then Iran's behind it. Does anybody know that? From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show. Brian. In Kill Mead.
Hi everyone, welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kill Me Channel. I come to him from 40 M26 in Midtown Manhattan, which was the center of all these protests and unrest from Columbia. To Fordham to City College to NYU to the FIT, for goodness sakes. But it's now all across the country, and we've got some fast-moving stories. This hour going to be joined by Bhatia Unger Sargon, author of a new book, Second Class: How the Elites Portrayed America's Working Men and Women.
It is now out. We're going to get her if she writes for Newsweek, too. And we'll be talking to her about that and where this stands. And the President of the United States is back in court today.
So let's get to the big three.
Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. But what you're witnessing in New York is not a legal proceeding, it's an unlawful exercise in very stupid and very evil politics. But here's the good news: it's driven the poll numbers higher than we've ever had before, because people get it. They do.
So far, 2024, Trump back on the trail Wednesday and back on trial today. While he enjoys a commanding lead nationally, smaller lead the battleground states it's still a fight. Number two. These protesters are going to hand the election to Donald Trump. Joe Biden, you need to step up right now.
Call it out. Call it what it is. And call it what it is. We need to know what it is. Right, that they're panicking, that That Joe Biden might lose.
My goodness, what else does he have to do to lose? Not speak, not do anything. He is invisible. He has no leadership ability, and he's got no sense that he can even act with instinct because his instincts are terrible. It's dumbfounding that he has not spoken out, though.
The campus chaos and Jew hatred spreads across the country, but as expected, President Trump lets us know exactly what he would do. Number one. We'll take over our buildings and put another flag up. My uncle died defending his country. And it's despicable that schools will allow another country flag to fly in our country.
Thank you, Mayor Adams. No notes. Took questions. Can you imagine that? And responding to a fast-moving situation.
And he was talking yesterday in a press conference, and that's we'll begin.
So Mayor Eric Adams noticed the Columbia takedown. We cleaned out the school, cleaned out the encampment. And much to the disdain of the faculty, there has to be an NYPD presence there until this semester is over on the seventeenth. Here's more from Mayor Adams. And he is on the money here.
Cut one.
But we're going to protect our city from those who are attempting to do what is happening globally. there is a movement to radicalize young people. And I'm not going to wait until it's done. and all of a sudden acknowledge the existence of it. This is a global problem that young people are being influenced by those who are professionals at radicalizing our children.
And I'm not going to allow that to happen as the mayor of the city of New York. So let me just give you an idea of how despicable these people act. They're chanting pigs, horrible things, NYPD, KKK, and other ridiculous, childlike rhymes. While the police, for maybe, I don't know, $60,000. A year, take this crap, and have to deal with college students who are paying more money in tuition than they get paid in a year.
and they got to deal with these epitats and they can't strike back. Their NYPD bus was splattered with red paint outside Fordham because Fordham now took up on Columbia and they tried to take over their buildings. 15 arrested. They put up tents, but they did it inside.
So they were quickly scooped up and kicked out. About 1,000 were arrested across the country. But again, anti-Israel, anti-NYPD, anti-American messages. NYU. They say fewer than half of the protesters arrested at Gould Plaza, which is right there, were students on the faculty, students or faculty.
So, people coming from the outside, they're training them, they're training them, they're leading them. For what cause? Who was in New York City selling the Palestinian cause? Or or the great Orthodox Muslim religion where they tell women to take a back seat, wear a burker all day, don't have a job, and don't go to school. That's what these people are defending?
Madison, Wisconsin. Police dismantled the University of Wisconsin-Madison anti-war encampment. Good job. USF, guns were confiscated from an anti-Israeli protest at the University of Southern Florida. Dartmouth, multiple people arrested at Dartmouth in a standoff between protesters and police that took place yesterday.
At Yale, President's House was surrounded by hundreds of protesters, and police were guarding it, thankfully. Stanford University submits a photo of an encampment protester wearing Hamas headbands. To the FBI, you think? And now, Emory, over in Georgia, anti-Israeli protesters enter undergraduate admissions building at Emory. They try to take it over at UNC.
We know what happened there, covered that live on television. The congressional response was strong. The House passed a bill to beef up protections against anti-Semitism. Sadly, not everybody signed on that's a Republican, including Marjorie Taylor Green. 'Cause she says it would have limited her Christiani ability to worship, I guess.
Christianity. But the biggest story that happened right now, if you were sleeping like you should have on the East Coast, I was up. At 8 o'clock at UCLA, these encampments are out of control, and they finally said: at 8 o'clock, start leaving. Said no. They waited.
So I'd roughly Five hours later, No, eight o'clock their time, so eleven o'clock.
So five hours later, yeah. Five hours later, they start moving in on the encampment. The problem is they made it so tough for the California High Patrol and NYPD LAPD is because they had Um They had uh Particle board. They had zip ties, they zip-tied them to the bike racks. There were all types of rocks.
They used fire extinguishers to push back the cops. They used flashbangs. They used strobe lights.
So, as the cops start pushing forward in an orderly fashion, not overreacting, knowing everybody's rolling the camera, they have to just slowly smother this group. And as they left and they took their masks off as they put them into the prison buses, they had a big smile on their face because they know it's only going to be a summons because it's Los Angeles, like New York. You never get punished for anything. But to see the filth and crap that they left behind, they had money. Dozens and dozens and dozens of coolers.
They had a medical station right in the middle, and they had everything you want. I'm sure they had doctors there. They had faculty proudly holding up a sign on the steps. The faculty stands with the protesters. Is that insane?
So, the thing that really rushed this is because the night before, they had pro-Israeli protesters come in and start to take down the encampment themselves because. They weren't able to do it on their own. They weren't able to get the school to do anything, so they thought they'd do it on their own.
So, Pat Ryder called in during the unrest when the cops were pushing forward in an orderly fashion. I wanted to get the tactics out. But he also recognizes the people there. Cut twelve. Total chaotic situations will take over your community.
This is not the truth of UCLA. These are maybe the front line is, but it's the hate agitators that are putting it that brings chaos to our democracy in the country. That's what's going on right now. Yeah, and that's what he was seeing. But he saw that they really were organized.
They had the radios going, they had the earpieces going. The first line went in, they took it apart, the second one made the arrests, and the third line would come in. Then they needed breaks because they say they're carrying seventy five pounds worth of equipment on them. And after they need some brakes, they'd come back and they'd already smother and smother and smother until they were all scooped up. But the mindset is what I can't get my head around.
I don't know where this came from. I know about a radical professor here and there, I didn't know they were everywhere. But the mindset of saying that this is okay. That's the mindset of AOC. She's mad at the cops.
She's mad at Columbia, uh the Columbia uh president for calling in the cops, Cuddy. And how did you feel about the police response at Columbia? Did you feel it was handled well or no? I think that um The size and the scale and the scope of what we saw mobilized in Colombia yesterday is shameful. Again, we're not just talking about sending in any enforcement.
We're talking about a mobilization of hundreds, if not thousands, of personnel to raise two separate college campuses and to pepper spray students, resulting in many injuries, resulting in just an enormous amount of fear in these communities, was wholly irresponsible and unwarranted. And we are lucky that someone was not killed last night. She's out of her mind. But, Eric, Pete, do you know of anybody that was injured during this unrest? In Colombia?
Do you know anybody? Not that I've seen. I haven't seen anything. Right? And we see the arrests, they got summonses and they were let out.
They were given multiple warnings, they took over a building, and she actually waited on the steps of Congress for someone to interview her so she could weigh in.
So, as crazy as we think the troop the troops. The the students are. You have their leaders in New York City. Who believe the same thing?
So, Joseph Flauder, a Columbia professor. was on another network, Cot9. I can understand that the building occupation is a different matter than a completely peaceful, non-violent encampment that had existed on the campus for the last 10 days or so. But the fact that the building can be occupied is due partly to the gross mismanagement of this administration. It has escalated consistently for the last seven months.
These students have been attempting to get what they understand to be a human rights message about justice for Palestine out for seven months. And at every turn, they have been met with repressive actions to shut down their ability to speak, to demonstrate, to try to make their voices heard in what they see as the greatest human rights crisis of the moment. Right. Let's forget about the Uyghurs who were in concentration camps, the Syrians. They were being barrel-bombed by their government.
Let's forget about October 7th, where innocent people were massacred and put into ovens and babies' heads were chopped off. Oh yeah, there's video of it. If you could see it, but let's go rally for the other guys. Because you don't think that they should be answered back? War is not easy.
Can you imagine if people were protesting for Nazi Germany because we were bombing Berlin indiscriminately? We were probably killing innocent people. You cannot, you cannot. Be worried about that. I mean, the thing is, too, the Western way of fighting might be impossible to be successful with.
When you try to get through and not hurt any civilians and not damage too many things in order to get your point across, we end up in a draw, and the other guys end up holding out, using your humanity against you. And that's what's taking place right now. The humanity is being used against the people that are. Siding with the Palestinians, who they probably never even met before, but they're probably being paid to do so. You want reaction?
I'll give you a reaction. No, somebody not on Prompter. But will, if he has to, will definitely answer your question if asked. And that's President Trump. Here's what he said, Cut 19.
To every college president, I say remove the encampments immediately, vanquish the radicals and take back our campuses for all of the normal students. who want a safe place. From which to learn. How hard is that? How hard is that?
So, maybe some people who are Muslims and Palestinians go, I'm not voting for Trump. Do you think he cares? This is where we stand. We've got to build a wall.
Some Hispanics might go here's like Hispanics. Moose get it. But this is what you want to do. You want somebody. It knows politics.
Understands it. He knows certain things are not going to work. That's why he put abortion to the states. He knew that going for an abortion ban is not what the American people want. He's not ridiculous when it comes to politics.
But when it comes to right and wrong and massacres on October 7th and supporting a democracy and our number one ally in the world, I'm pretty sure Trump's got it instinctively.
So if you look at President Biden, He said nothing. October twenty fifth, Biden's in New York City for a campaign fundraiser, right? Nothing. He sits down with a Jewish host in Howard Stern. What does he say?
Nothing. Next night goes a White House correspondence dinner. Nothing. Then his vice president kicks off the economic opportunity tour. Nothing.
The Secretary of Education, no message. President Biden announces. I'm going to cancel another $6 billion of student debt. How dare you stick boss with that? Nothing about what goes on.
How many of those people in those colleges around the country, and there are many, are getting their debt canceled while they protest against America? Then he attends a campaign reception in D.C. with the doors closed. Then he signs a proclamation to protect 120,000 acres of lands in Georgia. Nothing.
But he said May 7th I'm going to talk. Really? You see what's unfolding before your eyes, may seventh. Absolutely crazy. Senator John Kennedy, he was ready to explode yesterday, Cut 23.
He's not going to do that because of the raw gut politics, and you know it, and I know it. President Biden is scared to death to alienate the Hamas wing of the Democratic Party. And you should call it for what it is. Rule by mob. Rule by mob.
A belief in diversity, equity, inclusion, and the right to kill Jews. And it's wrong.
So the House yesterday passed a bill to beef up protections against anti-Semitism, and now heads to the Senate. I would imagine Chuck Schumer would embrace it. Josh Moskowicz was on today. He seemed to embrace it.
So we'll see if that's if that's going to work. Mike Laura came up with it. New York lawmaker in a tough fight to keep his seat, cut 25. Calling for death to Jews is not protected speech. It is anti-Semitic.
And the fact that we have some of the highest-ranking Jewish officials in America. Refusing to defend the Jewish community because of politics. Is a disgrace. It is shameful. And it is pathetic.
And anyone who votes against this bill because they would rather put political, expediency and electoral politics ahead of anything else additional thirty seconds has no business being a member of Congress.
So he puts up.
So the vote was 320 to 91. uh sitting a majority of Republicans and Democrats. Uh one editorial note, they may just say some people Bye. A lot of the GOP said no because quietly a lot of GOPers were disappointed in the language in this bill. They felt it infringed too much on free speech, but didn't want to vote no and be viewed as being on the wrong side of the issue of anti-Semitism.
I agree. All right. When we come back, I'll take your calls and then we'll expand on this. And also, we have a court case going on downtown. I have somebody, Carrie Kupek or Bond, says she's going to keep me up to date on what's happening.
I've got to check my text. You're with Brian Kilmead If you're interested in it, Brian's Talking About It. You're with Brian Kilmead. Yeah, I just look at it head to head. You know, Donald Trump, if you're Joe Biden, just want you to just do the right thing.
Because if you come out strong for the Israelis, like you should, you might lose some votes in Michigan.
Okay. If you come out against college campuses and just say, guys, get your act together, there might be some activists that don't vote for you. At least you know you did the right thing. You're losing them anyway, head to head. Trump versus Biden.
Voters age 18 to 34. Trump is up by 11, 5140. Here's the question. Are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the candidates you have to choose from for President of the United States? 18 to 34.
Thirty seven percent are happy with Joe Biden. Uh thirty uh forty-three percent uh with thirty-five year olds, fifty year olds forty-nine percent. 57% for 65-year-olds. Ron Lisson, WABC. Hey, Ron.
Hi, how are you? Good. What's on your mind?
So what's on my mind is this. It may not sound like it's uh Sexy or not. But the fact is Education, the education of our children, the fact that the Federal Education Board is self-policing and that Colleges, schools. Do not have to teach the Constitution, U. S.
history, normal math, and they're not afraid of losing any kind of money that comes from the feds. If they are allowed to continue that, our kids will not know how to be proper Americans that are knowing of their history. And that Although it only would take eight or 10 years, is why politicians are not interested in playing chess. They just want to play checkers. Let's get it done now.
That sounds too far off.
Well, you know, the term of President Trump, he could set everything up, not worrying about reelection. Joe Biden, too, if he wanted to, said no worry about re-election. Just do the right thing. Fix our education system. Get us ready to compete on an international level.
Understand how special this country is when we come up on our 250th birthday. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Are you regretting choosing this university? To be honest, I'm a little bit ashamed that I go to NYU.
My friends all go to Yeshiba University and they're definitely protected and they are safe. And I've been walking around feeling unsafe, hiding behind my Gandhi, searching it out for another necklace. What do you think about what happened at Columbia University? You know, there's been a lot going on at the university. There were those arrests that happened.
Do you think there's going to be arrests on campus here? I hope that the NYPD steps in even more than they already are to ensure the safety of all students on campus. That's really the tone and tenor of what's happening in New York and possibly how they feel in North Carolina, possibly how they feel at the University of Texas, Austin, MIT.
Now Dartmouth is getting in on the fun. Yale, Harvard. You talk about Berkeley. You've seen UCLA, the dismantling of an encampment. You see the look on some of these kids' faces.
They feel so proud, so proud that they sat there in their mini-city. And you saw the takeaway there.
Someone's funding all this with these brand new coolers, all this food that they had. They had a full medical center in there. We have our people going through now as hundreds who are arrested. Batia Unger Sargon is the author of Second Class, How the Elites Portrayed America's Working Men and Women. And she's also a commonweek.
Bhatia, what is your take on those two students? And they talk about how unsafe they feel in New York. Thank you so much for having me, Brian. Thank you for your incredible coverage this morning and throughout this. Entire drama.
You've been absolutely amazing. I tune in every morning to catch your take on this. You know, to me, This is less about Jews and Israel and more about America. To me, the scenes of the cops clearing these intifada revolution wannabes from campuses are the starkest image I have ever seen of the hard work and discipline of America's working class juxtaposed against the self-indulgence and narcissism and the oppression envy of the most privileged Americans, these college university students who have been given every opportunity. And what did they use their opportunities to do to sneer at America, to sneer at the working class, to talk down and to absolutely hate on America?
And then by extension, of course, they hate Israel and the anti-Semitism comes out, but it is one and the same. They hate Israel because they hate America. That is so important to keep in mind.
Well, yeah, a couple of things. I think that is absolutely right. There's no Scent of patriotism at City College is obvious. They put up the Palestinian flag at Harvard. They put it over George Washington.
John Harvard's. Statue. They put it over his face. I think it might still be there.
So, you know, about what's happened over at Yale.
So, this is popping up everywhere. Dartmouth said, Don't leave me out. And get this, Batia. Look at Northwestern and Brown. Brown agreed to put it to a vote on whether they should continue to invest with Israel.
And Northwestern said the same thing. They're going to be making their investments transparent to the student body.
So they feel like they're winning in these campuses, and that's spreading across the country. Do you feel that way? I don't. And let me just give you a poll that came out today that proves that this is a bunch of elitist nonsense that is not spreading at all.
So Morning Consult asked, do you support asking the police to protect campuses from violence? And guess what, Brian? 76% of Americans said yes. They support bringing in the cops. And even among young people, 18 to 34 year olds, 67% support bringing in the cops.
These students on college campuses do not even represent where the vast majority of American young people are at. This is about the elites and their hatred for America and their hatred for Israel versus the vast majority of Americans, 80% of Americans who have Israel's back and who would never allow anti-Semitism to take root in this great nation.
So you have professors who are supporting them. You saw that at Columbia. You saw them last night at UCLA. Big signs, faculty for the protesters. And then you have this Cooney professor.
Demands. For them to, before they disencamp at City College, listen to some of the demands she is demanding at the university, COP15. The encampment's five demands, and I'm just going to reiterate those. The first is disclose and divest. CUNY must divest its 8.4 million invested in tech weapons and surveillance that aid Zionist colonization and commit to financial transparency.
Second, boycott. Ban all academic trips to the Zionist state encompassing birthright, Fulbright, and prospective trips. And cancel all forms of cooperation with Israeli academic institutions, including events, activities, agreements, and research collaborations or projects. Third, solidarity. The encampment is calling on the administration to release a statement affirming the right of the Palestinian people to resist for national liberation and the right of return, and protect pro-Palestine students and workers from retaliation and repression.
That's a professor. She goes on to have more demands. Professor talking about what the protesters want. You believe this? The thing that makes this so despicable is not just that there is a tiny elite on university campuses who hate America and hate Israel and are willing to say absolutely racist things about Jews.
I mean, that's all bad, okay? Let's like that's bad. But the real outrage is that that professor Is 300 times more likely to become a homeowner and achieve the American dream than the cop who was trying to protect Jewish students from this nonsense because of the way that the Democrats have weighted the economy in favor of the college educated. That is the real outrage here. It's that these horrible, amoral, godless nincum poops are going to be able to achieve the American dream while hating America.
And the 80% of Americans who are good-hearted, who love the Jewish people, who love Israel, who would never allow racism to flourish here are struggling because they're working class. That is the real outrage here. We're getting word that Joe Biden should be speaking soon about this. Originally, they said he's going to speak May 7th. Then they said, well, he already spoke about he'd done programs in the past against anti-Semitism, but now he realizes how bad this was last night.
We covered this for four hours today, actually six hours, the show prior to us, live at UCLA as the cops stood, watched, and then gradually took apart this really dug-in compound with plywood and a lot of thousands of tens of thousands of dollars were poured into this. It is absolutely insane, but you can't get anybody to talk about it. Even on MSNBC, they're beginning to panic. Cut seventeen. Let's go to the split screen to the riots going on in Florida.
Await. There are no rights going on at the University of Florida because the President said we don't run a daycare center here. If you want to protest this, we respect your right to protest, but we're not going to let you break the law and destroy buildings. Right. Right for free speech is not an absolute, and it's not the only right on a campus.
There's got to be balanced against other rights, against obligations.
So I mean, they're beginning to panic. They're beginning to understand it. That is a total change when they said, you know what, the Israelis are fighting too tough. Too many civilians are dying. That's why they're doing it.
I think people are seeing that there's forces behind this. Yeah, absolutely. There was definitely a sort of sister soldier moment this morning on MSNBC. I caught it as well and was surprised. And I'm very glad to hear that.
If President Biden is going to speak today, Brian, it's because you had Josh Gottheimer on. And for the whole 20 minutes he was on, you kept saying to him, why isn't he speaking? Why isn't he speaking? Why is he? I bet you anything.
He got right off that Fox and Friends interview and called the President and said, you got to say something. You have to say something. This is a gift to the Trump campaign.
So far, I think you're 100% right. And speaking of the Trump campaign, think about this. We found out that most of the 300 people that were arrested at Columbia are getting death warrants, which means you go in, you have process, you basically get a summons.
Some people might be held, but very few, but some might be looking at it. You might have to go get a lawyer, but for the most part, there's been no held to pay. Think about all the unrest in this city, now Fordham City College, FIT, NYU, Columbia. That's just off the top of my head. At the same time, they feel they got to put all these resources to bring to justice President Trump over two nondisclosure agreements that they say were campaign violations that should get him prison time or, more importantly, pull him out of this race.
Neither of which I think will happen, but he is forced to sit in court. That's where Alvin Bragg is, not uptown trying to unwind the conspiracy behind all these campus riots. Yeah, absolutely. And then they'll go on and say, you know, Presidential, did you see that Time interview where they were trying to paint President Trump as someone who's going to, you know, weaponize the Justice Department? It's like, hello, it's already happened.
The projection is just off the hook. I totally agree with you. All right. So for you and your book, do you think it's resonating with people that they're understanding there's been a switch, even though union heads of the so-called working class have stayed with the Democratic Party, actually workers aren't? Absolutely.
I mean, the figures for rank and file union workers, I'm not talking about desk unions of like, you know, journalists who make $160,000 a year.
Okay. I'm talking about like actual working class unionized people. You know, the vast majority of them at this point are on the Trump train. And the unions are now divided between the leadership, like the Teamsters, who's recognizing that and giving money to the RNC and sitting down with President Trump, and then the unions that are sort of in denial about that. You know, there's going to be a real realignment.
We're already seeing it. President Trump yesterday in his speech in Wisconsin was talking about how the Democrats are now the party of the rich. The Republicans are the party of the working class, and they need a working class agenda. Donald Trump has really started that. And the rest of the GOP, they really need to pay attention to that because otherwise they're going to lose these voters when Trump is no longer on the scene.
Last question, Batia. If Trump gets convicted, as farcical as this court seem case is playing out. How many how much did he pay the price with independence, if at all? I really think that, you know, I've been saying this from the beginning: there's two ways to look at 91 indictments. You can say 91 indictments, surely he's done one of those things, or you can look at it and say 91 indictments.
Wow, they really are not going to stop until they get him. I think a lot of independents are in that second camp. We'll see. Batia, pick up her book: Second Class: How the Elites Portrayed America's Working Men and Women. Thanks, Batia.
Thank you. God bless you. You've got it. And by the way, read her stuff on Newsweek. When we come back your turn, 1866-408-7669.
I'm also going to talk a little bit about more about the campaign and also about the trial that President Trump's in now. They're having another They're having another gag order hearing because evidently the president talks too much. Go listen to the Brian Kilmeat show. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Breaking news, unique opinions.
Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. Welcome back everybody. Got a few more minutes and I got a few calls to get to, but Uh we have this great two great authors on. Um Earlier this week, uh Emmanuel Ochoa. Ocho and Noah Tishbe.
Together they wrote a book on comfortable conversations with a Jew. Emmanuel Ocho was also somebody who wrote the book that was a runaway bestseller, Difficult Conversation with a Black Man.
So he wants to continue that series and he just talks and it is a dialogue of these two going back and forth with each other. They gave me a half hour, gave us a half hour on the show. And I thought Noah did a great job just to run through the history of What the Jewish people have been through and how they've been tried to be marginalized and wiped out in the past. Listen. When the Jewish community is under attack, it's fine because you're using code words that are not Jewish.
I'm not saying this about the Jews, I'm saying this about the IDF. But what you have to understand is that anti-Semitism is not a simple racism, it's a shape-shifting conspiracy theory. And every few generations, it changes. One time, sometimes it's so it started out with, and I, you know, we wrote about this in the book.
So it started out before the days of Christ. There was a peoplehood. There's like the first account of anti-Semitism 200 years before the birth of Christ. And people are talking about these weird people.
So it was peoplehood. Then after the birth of Christ, it became a religious-based anti-Semitism because of the whole the Jews killed Jesus. Then later on, it became, but you can convert out of it.
So if you converted out of Christianity, you were fine, you were saved. Then it shifted again to political and racial.
So it was a racial-based anti-Semitism, and you can convert out of that. And it was used for political usage. And later on, it shifted to anti-Zionism. The new form of anti-Semitism is anti-Zionism. It became this thing that is completely acceptable.
And I think you're right. This would have been appalled. Everybody would have been appalled if it would have been any other marginalized community. But somehow, when it's about the Jews, then it's totally up. Right.
I mean, do you have any speeches Joe Biden would have given from the campus itself if there was a crackdown on Hispanics or blacks? Were women were being abused? Countless. He'd be calling press conference. He'd actually do a press conference.
Because he loves that question. But I love this question for some reason, even though it's an easy answer. Steve listening on WTBO in Orlando. Hey, Steve. Hey, Brian.
Thank you so much for everything that you do. I have a few comments and some things I want to say. It seems like we're living in a surreal time with everything going on here. It's just ridiculous. And the other thing that I want to say is President Biden, he has to step up or step aside There's no other two ways about it.
These are just things that we've never seen in this country before. We have no American dream anymore. We have everything that's up is down and down is up. And everything that's right is wrong and wrong is right. And he's got to straighten it out.
He's got to step up. He's got to say something. I mean, like I said, step up or step aside. Thanks, Steve. I appreciate it.
But you know, he's going to be stepping up, but he's not a good speaker. And you know, he's going to be glued to the prompter. He's going to just waddle out, shuffle out, and he's going to make a speech condemning the strongest world possible, anti-Semitism, but also understands the people feel who are Palestinian about what's going on in Gaza. No, I don't understand. This is called an attack back.
After you get brutally massacred and 2,200 people lose their lives in you, kidnap over 200, and there might be as few as 20 left. And you're using Hamas numbers.
So you just watch, it'll be in there. And I just hate I want to get the story of how much pressure that Blinken is putting on Netanyahu right now to not go into Rafah and to agree to a hostage deal. But you know who doesn't want to agree? Hamas. Incredible, right?
Here's Rabbi Shaim Mence. He says this whole thing of since these encampments have been broken up, they're trying to switch the narrative, cut 32. They are doing exactly the playbook. The playbook is become the victim. And what happens is.
Thousands of people cannot get onto campus because these thugs, these people, no one wants to call them terrorists, but that's what they are. They're terrorizing people. If I wanted to be a student, I can't get into the library.
So I have to be able to get through.
So all of a sudden, people are pushing away their jail that they made for themselves. Let me tell you something. They are as guilty as the murderers of any institution. They are seriously. Taking over not only UCLA, but you have to recognize America.
This is coming across the whole United States. And that's just it. People say, well, that's because Israel wants you to evolve. No, they're flat out right. WALLE, St.
Pete Beach in Florida, WALLE.
Well, um it's it's it's a little loud. I'm working a job at Aero Beach Airport and the Blue Angels just flew in. Yeah. All right, that's a good reason, but what's on your mind?
Well, I don't think anybody should expect Joe Biden to do anything for the Jews. The man has no moral compass. He's an acolyte of political power and And he's he's a Catholic that supports abortion. And so, just that alone, he's a man without a moral compass. That's That's what we have.
His whole life he's just been a nice a narcissistic Sociopathic liar. And he's in a hidden the only mistake he made was leaving Congress where his ignorance could be hidden. And he's got a lot of people covering for him now. I mean, how many people would be giving a major speech, say the. Prompter queue, pause.
And then go say, and then have people applause. He actually read Pause. Everyone covers for him all the time.
Now they don't let him walk without being surrounded by staff so they can't see him shuffle. And he looks younger. That's your plan? From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City. Always seeking solutions, never sowing division.
It's Brian. Kill me. All right, I believe in the script. I talk now. And yep, I just confirmed it.
I am talking now. Josh Crossauer is standing by, Fox News Radio Political Analyst, all around good guy and insider. Michael Watley's going to be with us at the bottom of the arrow. All he's doing is trying to revitalize the RNC along with Lara Trump.
So, Donald Trump is now in the courtroom today, and we're seeing, we're just finding out now that President Biden will be speaking shortly from the White House after the horrific events that took place last night at UCLA, the takedown of that encampment, and the pushback that they got. I mean, you got to see some of this video if you're just waking up.
Meanwhile, let's get to the big three before we get to Josh.
Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. But what you're witnessing in New York is not a legal proceeding, it's an unlawful exercise in very stupid and very evil politics. But here's the good news: it's driven the poll numbers higher than we've ever had before. Because people get it.
Yeah, President Trump, that was yesterday. He had two events yesterday. This morning, he's also addressed the press 2024. Trump back on the trail Wednesday, back on trial on Thursday, while he enjoys a commanding lead nationally and a smaller lead in the battleground states. There's a lot of fight left in this.
Number two. These protesters are going to hand the election to Donald Trump. Joe Biden, you need to step up right now. Call it out. Call it what it is.
And call it what it is. We need to know what it is. Yeah, Congress acts, President was invisible and is invisible. An absence of leadership through the night, through these last few weeks, just a casual c comment as he walked through the woods on Earth Day.
Now the White House is scrambling to say, okay, the President is going to speak. Will he take questions? Will he do the, but the Palestinians are nice too? But as expected, President Trump let everyone know how he stood. Number That's our flag, folks.
No take over our buildings and put another flag up. My uncle died defending this country. It is despicable that schools will allow another country flag to fly in our country. I loved it. One of his finest moments.
That is the mayor of New York. Anti-American, anti-Semitic riots continue from campus to campus across the country as patients is running out among law enforcement and school leadership who have been embarrassingly inept and they've been exposed. Josh Krashauer is with us now. Josh, your reaction to the fact that the President has decided to speak. Yeah, I mean, it it's about time.
I mean, uh, we we reported at at at Jewish Insider that Until last week, the President had not publicly made any comment. On anti-Semitism since February, a few weeks after the terror attacks in Israel. And then he did have to comment after Colombia and the protests there, and then things have gotten out of control. And I also think the politics have changed dramatically. There's always been a significant pro-Israel majority in the country, even though the Democratic Party has been divided on that issue increasingly.
But there was a new poll out of the morning consult today saying, Do you support the police essentially keeping calm on the college campuses? 76% said yes, only 10% said no. This is not a partisan issue. This is an American issue. And the fact that Biden has been so quiet about it, even as his deputy press secretary, as people that work for him have been commenting: you need to have, this is why you have the bully pulpit.
This is why you're a leader. This is why you're commander. But Josh, you know why. because he's afraid of Dearborn, he's afraid of Minnesota. He's if he comes out strong against anti-Semitism and the actions on campus, who are pre clearly pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas, he could further dive in Michigan.
So, Brian, they have been scared of the Ilhan Omar Rashida Tlaib faction, which I think they've been. Uh kind of it's political malpractice. I I don't think they make up a a a the big share of their party, no less the overall American electorate. But I think things have ch well, when you see what's been going on at UCLA and Columbia, I mean this is far beyond the Middle East, or even far beyond anti this is anti-Americanism in its purest form. We've heard reports even that some of these groups working on these protests have ties to Hamas directly.
I mean, there's a lot of reporting on where the money's coming from, where the organization is, and who's backing these protests. I think this is quickly becoming almost like a 95-5 issue, far beyond any disagreements on police policy. And I think the White House has been very slow to understand that. I think the politics have been shifting over the week. People watch.
The ugly scenes on campus, after campus, throughout the country. They see Hezbollah flag, they see Pro Hamas flag, they see anti-Americanism that's blatant from these protests. And I think the White House couldn't help them. I mean, it would be political malpractice that even the hard left is hard. I mean, unless you're Ilhan Omar, unless you're one of those five or six squad members, you have Democrats that are really caught between a rock and a hard place.
And I think they've been seeing polls in the last 24 hours showing that this is, even Democrats think this is enough is enough, and they need to get on the right side of history, no less politics. And Jewish, I'm sure you're going to be talking this as editor-in-chief of Jewish Insider, but the president has just wrapped up comments. Probably was not five minutes. I don't even think it was five minutes, right? Use a little of it.
So let me be clear. Peaceful protest in America. Violent protest is not protected. Peaceful protest is. It's against the law when violence occurs.
Destroying property is not a peaceful protest, it's against the law. Vandalism. trespassing, breaking windows, shutting down campuses, forcing the cancellation of classes and graduations. None of this is a peaceful protest. Threatening people, intimidating people, instilling fear in people is not a peaceful protest.
Okay, thanks for that.
So we'll see. He went on a little bit longer.
So he's just defining it.
So he said, basically, everyone wants me to speak, there I am. And I'll see you May 7th at the Holocaust Museum. But I never in my life thought I'd have to wait even 20 minutes if I thought I have people coming out saying because I'm J Jewish, I can't get on my campus at Columbia. Because I'm Jewish, I have video to show I can't get on my campus at UCLA. They are physically blocking me from doing it because I'm Jewish.
I've been recommended by my school not to attend class. They can't guarantee my safety. And then you still wait another week and a half. Brian, the the President, the second you heard these vile anti Semitic slogans being echoed from campus to campus, should have been out there using the bully pulpit, giving the speech that his own deputy press secretary put out about a week and a half ago now. That was a missed opportunity.
I mean, that was just sort of a gimme as a layup. They didn't take that. They should have been out there front and center when you had anarchists and anti-Israel, virulent anti-Israel activists break windows and glass and threaten janitors in a building and take over that Hamilton Hall. They should have heard the president condemning it unequivocally. They didn't hear it then.
I mean, look, it's a little too late. They they did schedule, as you noted, Brian, uh, next week, uh, the President's giving an address on anti-Semitism at the Holocaust Museum. But this this can't wait a week, week and a half, right? I mean, this is something that Presidents either Show leadership in the moment. That clip does seem like they're making, you know, they're going in that direction.
I'll hear the whole speech, but I don't know if he took questions or not, but no questions. Yeah, I mean, it's a really, it's a really, it's a really, I mean, look, you heard Al Sharpton this morning compare what happened at Columbia's campus. to January 6th. I mean, this that this is the issue that Democrats wanted to run on and and they think that that's one of their most effective issues.
Well, all of a sudden they have their own party not answering many at least men not everyone, but many lawmakers and and many, many, many candidates in their own party not having anything to say about not having anything to say about UCLA.
So, I mean, this all of a sudden neutralized. If there was any advantage on sort of who could handle kind of unrest in the streets, well, all of a sudden, you have a Democratic Party that's not been able to speak out of principle and condemn anti-Semitism with the full-throatedness that you would expect. Here's more from that speech. Let's be clear about this as well. There should be no place on any campus no place in America for anti Semitism, or threats of violence against Jewish students.
There is no place for hate speech. or violence of any kind, whether it's anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, or discrimination against Arab Americans or Palestinian Americans. It's simply wrong. There's no place for racism in America. How about with Department of Justice investigation on what's behind these encampments, what's by these organizers?
Talk to your mayor, Democratic mayor of New York City, who says we know some of these people, we've been tracking them, and we know they don't belong on these campuses, and they're influencing and brainwashing some of these kids. How about the Department of Justice do that instead of finding out what kind of real estate deal President Trump did 15 years ago? Right. Yeah, there's certainly things you can point to that that maybe the Government could be more aggressive. DOJ, the Department of Education, I know there are a lot of Title VI lawsuits about anti-Semitism on campus that are being brought, but they're taking place at a pretty slow pace, and you haven't seen sort of that urgency that you might see on some other issues.
I thought it was notable. I, you know, again, I'm just listening to the sound bites that you're playing, but there is this tick with the administration from the president on down to kind of pair anti-Semitism and Islamophobia and all racism. I mean, look, that that's fine and good when you're talking broadly, but when you're talking about what's happened in these past two weeks, This is about anti-Semitism. You can't solve the problem if you're not willing to identify what's really happening here and where this is coming from. And the fact that they still, even in a speech that I guess they rushed out to deal with anti-Semitism, they still have it.
It's kind of the all-lives mattering of anti-Semitism. They have to put everything else in that basket, even though the urgency of the moment is about Jewish hate, anti-Jewish hate on campus. That still shows how I think a little tone-deaf they are in addressing this issue. Absolutely. And I would say this.
The President of the United States at the same time is putting an unbelievable amount of pressure on Benjamin Etyahoo to get some deal done with Hamas. But because of these protests, Josh, I believe it's all linked. They feel as though they're winning the PR war. Why should they rush into a hostage deal with Israel? Even though they're being beaten on the battlefield, they feel like they're winning.
Do they understand the ripple effects from these knucklehead sit-ins?
Well, look, and we may learn. I mean, everything, I mean, you hear a lot about like, you know, Russians getting involved in American domestic politics. I don't think it would be surprising to learn that terrorist groups or Iran were involved in fomenting some of these nakedly anti-American, anti-Semitic protests on campus. There was actually a lawsuit, a major one, filed last night making that argument, connecting the dots to where these groups get their funding from. And it's not pretty.
So I mean I you know, I just think I'm a politic we're heading into an election year. Election season. And boy, you probably want to be as far away from those protests as possible. And Bill Clinton famously. Brian had a sister soldier moment where he distanced himself.
He didn't just say, this is wrong, but he said, I don't want to be associated with any of this garbage. I mean, that's the kind of moment Biden's losing in the polls. He's losing in almost every poll to Donald Trump in the states that matter and in the national polls. He needs to have a kind of a course correction. He needs to reset this race.
And simply just kind of reactively days behind denouncing anti-Semitism instead of challenging some of the extremes in his own party and and in the in the coalition. I I think that would do him a whole lot of good. John Fetterman has been doing that. He's a Democrat. Josh Shapiro, governor of Pennsylvania, been doing that.
There are a lot of Democrats that have been speaking up and actually seeing their polling numbers go up. For some reason, this White House has been very, very reticent to challenge radicalism and extremism from within. But you know who's not? You know, we had Josh. Gottheimer on today.
We have Moskowitz on today. 23 Democrats voted for the anti-Semitism bill yesterday. But you know who's not? Nadler's not, and Schumer's not. Even though New York has NYU, FIT, Columbia, and now Fordham and City College all overrun with these protests.
Yeah, it's a really, really great point. And look, it underscores what you've been saying, Brian, that they, whether they should be or not, they are scared of their lack. They are scared of the Ilhan Omars and the Rashida Tlaibs and especially AOC in New York. They think that they actually command a lot more support than I think the polls show they actually do. And they just don't want to piss off the.
The far left pace in the middle of an election year. I think that's bad politics. I think you saw with a lot of the votes taken on foreign policy that had. sizable Super majority support over aid to Israel, aid to Ukraine. I think these are winning issues in a general election.
It seems like Democrats are still playing to the primary. They're still in primary mode. They're not realizing we're in the middle of a general election, and you're losing the election because you're too close to some of these radicals. We're responding in real time to Joe Biden's five-minute address. And this is: you asked me, did he ask a question?
I said no, I was wrong. He did answer one question on his exit. Here it is. Mr. President, have the protest.
Forced you to reconsider any of the policies with regard to the region? No.
So the question was: Did the protest change your mind on Middle East policy? And he said, no.
So, I mean, quick exit. I mean, to me, if you're president, you got to sit there and take these questions. Forget if you don't like the press or not. The American people wrote an explanation to what you're thinking. Yeah, I mean, look, that's fine, whatever.
I mean, I think the bigger issue is that these all are interconnected.
Sometimes I think you're seeing a lot of the coverage have to be a lot of folks are rethinking how they've covered some of the protests initially because they were like, oh, these are anti-war folks or these are pro-Palestinians. And then they actually see the slogans and they see like pro-Hezbollah flags and pro-Hamas flags at so many of these protests. I think they realize now that this isn't your kind of garden variety left-wing protests. It's much, much more sinister. And I do think that should force some recalculation and recalibration in how the White House views this stuff.
And Josh, let's just be honest: 76%, it's 80%. Every single time, they support the attacks on October 7th, the Palestinians.
So forget about the region. If that is our chief ally, and they support putting children in ovens and taking hostage toddlers as well as senior citizens, 200 plus, beating them to death, torturing them, killing people in cold blood in concerts, and they support that. We somehow are supporting people that perpetuated that massacre, and the people that didn't take part fully support it. You saw how when those hostages were taken into Gaza, they were cheered as heroes as if they've come back with buckets full of gold?
So, I mean, we have to be honest about this. These are anti-American attitudes. They cheered on 9-11. And this is and yet we now have American students who think they were right. Final thought?
Yeah, well look, I think the White House had the right instincts in the weeks after october seventh. They said that Israel needs to win the war. They need it. Knock out Hamas from power. They haven't said that in a long time.
I think that that stems. When you can't tell the difference, when you need to kind of have the mealy mouth position and not actually have the black and white, this is evil, and we need to call it out. I think that's where your political problems begin. Josh, thanks so much. Busy day for you, I know.
Josh Kashauer, thank you. Thanks, Brian. You got a bottom of the hour, Michael Watley. Your call's next, and we're continuing to follow all this breaking news. Don't move.
Expanding your knowledge base. It's the Brian Kill Meat Show. The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead. I understand people have strong feelings and deep convictions.
In America, we respect the right and protect the right for them to express that. but it doesn't mean anything goes. It needs to be done without violence. without destruction. without hating.
And within the law. You know, make no mistake. As President, I will always defend free speech. and I will always be just as strong in standing up for the rule of law. That's my responsibility to you, the American people.
My obligation to the Constitution. Thank you very much. That to me was just check-in-the-box speech. Campus chaos. I don't remember ever where you could say the same thing's happening in Wisconsin, that's happening in Berkeley, that's happening in New York, that's happening in Florida, that's happening in Texas, that's happening in Indiana.
And yet, you give one speech reluctantly three weeks after it really hit warp speed. By the way, David Spunch has put this out. It's on George Washington University campus. It's the statue of George Washington, and he's got a cape. Of a Palestinian flag, and he's got one of those Palestinian colors that you saw in Yasser Arafat all those years.
And it says Shame on DC, genocidal Joe. This is insane. Why is that allowed to stand? Who is there one Patriot on GWU's campus? I mean, that school costs about I think it's the most expensive school in the country.
Is there not one person with the spine to go up there and take it off? Amazing what's going on. Michael Watley is going to be here shortly. We'll talk about the president, the ground game, chance to get in the Senate, and chaos in the House as Marjorie Taylor Green is ignoring President Trump and trying to oust Speaker Johnson. Crazy times.
I'm so glad you're here so I can try to make sense of it. We could make sense of it together. The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead. The shift away from Joe Biden, the animosity toward him among younger voters, is not just due to his age and decrepitude.
It's also due to the fact that he is just not speaking to any of their priorities, any of their issues. He doesn't have an agenda for them. His agenda is targeted at the far-left core of his base. And that's been something that's been true of this White House basically since the midterms. They're running this election as if it's a midterm election, as opposed to doing anything to shift toward what a general election audience would look like.
And this is the result. And what Ben Dominich was referring to last night. There's a brand new poll. Fox pool. It says head to head, Trump first Biden, among voters 18 to 34, Trump is up 11.
Excuse me, it's a CNN poll. And also, younger people feel less, or they were asked the same group, 18 to 34, how do you feel about your finances? Are you more or less satisfied than you were with Donald Trump? 38% said they were satisfied, 62% said they were less satisfied. Joining us now is Michael Watley, RNC chair.
Got the job a few weeks ago along with Lara Trump. Michael, welcome back. It's good to be on with you again, Brian.
So, my view, the President just spoke a short time ago, says he's against protests. He is for First Amendment protests, but not for the anarchy that's been created on campus. This has taken him two weeks to answer. And you know politics, Michael. Part of it is he does not want to further alienate voters in Dearborn and in Minneapolis.
And because of that, he's allowed 25 campus riots to heat up, overheat. And now he finally was forced to speak up in order to get the young vote, and it doesn't seem to be working. No, it's not going to work. I mean, look, when you think about what every voter across America cares about, what the families, when they sit down at the table and talk about, they care about jobs and economy, they care about education, they care about safety and they care about security. And he is failing on every single measure that we're looking at.
You can't turn on the TV without seeing all these riots and protests. And people understand these are the same people, the same groups, the same funding screens that funded all of the riots that we saw in 2020. And here we are four years later in the summer before an election, and we're going to have these things pop up again. And Joe Biden's just completely unwilling to address it. He's put his head in the sand.
You know, this election's going to come down to weakness versus strength, and he looks awfully weak right now.
Well, you got to do the job, and then we can make decisions on whether the voter can make a decision if they like it or not. But he's just been invisible through this whole thing. His press secretary has no idea where he stands. On Friday, they said, well, the president's been focusing on the peace deal and a ceasefire, hasn't been watching much of the protests. Really?
You don't have two flat screens in the White House? That's news to me. But let me ask you, do you feel as though, for what you know, this is worthy of a Department of Justice investigation to find out where the money is coming from and how these kids? got radicalized. Yeah, I do.
I think it's absolutely important for us. And when you think about we're starting to see now a number of different reports that are saying that these are coming from the same Soros-backed and progressive left-backed foundations that funded all of the riots that we saw in 2020. I'm glad that these conversations are moving faster right now than they did back in 2020. But it certainly looks to have all the same characteristics of what we saw four years before. And we need to track it down because when you think about the crimes that are being committed here, you need to have them prosecuted, you need to have them investigated, and you want to find out who's funding them.
Michael Wadley, our guest.
So, Michael, you had a conversation with Marjorie Teller Green, it's been reported, to say, listen, this is the time for unity. This is the time for the party to come together, not to challenge Speaker Johnson. But then she said this. We have Hakeem Jeffries. and the Democrats coming out.
Embracing Mike Johnson. with a warm hug and a big wet sloppy kiss. And they are ready to, they have endorsed him. They are ready to support him as speaker. They want to keep it going, keep the band together.
Why? Because Mike Johnson is giving them everything they want. Number one, is that true? And do you believe that Marjorie Taylor Greene? Uh is right.
Look, we need to win this November, right? We are sitting on a one-seat majority in the House. Democrats have a one-seat majority in the Senate. The presidential election in 2020 was decided by 44,000 votes. Over multiple states all across the country.
And we're literally a 50-50 nation. And as Republicans, for us to be able to hold that majority and expand that majority in the House, I feel very strongly we need to be unified and we need to be speaking with one voice. And unfortunately, right now, we're just not doing that. What is wrong with her? I mean, does she not understand that?
Has she ever been involved in a team sport? Look, I don't want to question Marjorie's motives on this. Can you tell me what she said to him? She basically said that she feels that this is an important conversation for us to have right now. And look, you know, she supports the President, and I understand that.
But the President has made it very clear that he feels we need to be speaking with a unified voice as well.
So, you know, we're going to have to wait and see how this pans out next week. Here's what Ted Cruz told me last hour.
Now look, I agree with President Trump. I think Mike Johnson is a strong conservative. I think he has a virtually impossible job because he's got a tiny majority in the House, just two votes. And frankly, he's got people like Marjorie Taylor Greene who will run off on any crazy wild tangent. I think what she's doing is ridiculous.
I think it is foolish. I think it is really counterproductive. that she's trying to throw the house into chaos and she's risking Handing the speakership over to the Democrats. Part of the reason that. Councillor.
Can't win more conservative victories, is people like Marjorie Taylor Greene won't actually discuss. stand up and take this instead that they grant them So, I mean, that's Ted Cruz. That is not some moderate who flip-flops. You know, he's as conservative as he gets, he's frustrated. But like I said, I think that we're staring down the barrel of this election cycle.
We are six months away. And I think if people feel like we can have these fights here without any ramifications on the election, I would disagree with that. I think the voters are watching and they need to know that as Republicans that we can manage the House. And it's very, very important for us to have a unified voice and a unified message. When I took over at the RNC with Laura and I going in, the first thing that we did was we merged our operations with President Trump's campaign because I didn't want to have two different voices going out there.
President Trump is the leader of our party, and we need to have everybody from every faction of the Republican Party unified and moving in one direction with one voice. Yeah, we'll see if that works. Tom Massey as well might be doing that next week. What do you say? Will that hurt your fundraising if Hakeem Jeffries has to save the Republican Speaker?
Uh look, I think the biggest thing that we need right now is to have a message on how Joe Biden and the Democrats are hurting America. This is an election right now where it's just about the border. It's about where we stand in the world. It's about how weak the U. S.
economy is, the fact that inflation has risen twenty percent over the four years that Joe Biden has been president and wages have not. And so it is harder for every American family. We need every Republican candidate to be focused on these issues and focused on putting solutions for American voters on the table, or we're not going to win this election.
So do you believe last week the Joe Biden sat down with Howard Stern for two hours. Fascinating to hear him make up so many stories, unverified but allowed to fly. That happens. And at what point he was asked about debate? He goes, Yeah, we're going to do a debate.
We just don't know when and where. What did you s what did you think when he said that? And what has been done since to lock to lock up a debate schedule?
Well, look, I'm sure that as surprised as I was to hear that, I was not as surprised as his staff was. But I welcome it, right? I think that it is absolutely critical for us to have these two men, President Trump and Joe Biden, on a stage. There's never been bigger contrast between two competing candidates in terms of their visions for America. And we want to have that discussion.
As President Trump has said, anywhere, anytime, any platform, we will have a debate with Joe Biden, and he is absolutely ready to go.
So the big issue that I have right now with the Commission on Presidential Debates is that they they are not proposing any debates Before voting gets started, all three of the debates that they have proposed are after votes get started. Why would they do that? We expect 10 million votes are already going to be in the door. See, why would they do that? It doesn't work to their advantage to have a scheduled debate after voting started.
Do they have are they all have summer vacations planned? I really think that it's just they are set in their ways and they're not willing to make any changes. And changing has voted. Over fifty percent of all American voters are going to vote before Election Day. We have to talk to them before they go vote.
Michael, has you ground gained? Because we hear that Ronald McDaniel was making advances in that and it's suffered since. No, look, I think we feel very comfortable about the plan that we have. The fundraising is going very, very well. We are going to have the resources that we need to talk to all of the American voters across the country.
And we feel very comfortable in our approach. What we're going to be doing is reaching out to those voters before they vote and having those conversations. When people go out there, we want to bank the vote. We want to grow the vote and we want to protect the vote. And so those are the programs We're setting up, we feel very comfortable about our path.
So I'm looking at these court cases, and they're playing such a role in this election. How much has the President been hurt? By having to sit in that court for the last four or three weeks and knowing he's got to do it for another four. Yeah, when he talks about this being election interference, he's not kidding, right? I mean, the fact that you are spending four days all day in the courts, it really truly is designed to get him off the road.
But when he's been able to travel on Wednesdays, we saw yesterday that he did a rally in Michigan, a rally in Wisconsin. Both of them had absolutely huge, fantastic crowds that were out there. And he's even taking advantage of opportunities in New York. You know, he went out after court one day and visited a bodega and then absolutely owned the media cycle for 48 hours. The other day, he went to a construction site at 6.30 in the morning when Joe Biden was still in bed and turned it into an all-day kind of news event that he was up there with a Teamster.
So, you know, he's going to take advantage of opportunities in the media cycle to be able to get his voice out. One thing that you've got to give President Trump a lot of credit for is he has an ability to communicate directly with the American people, no matter where he is or no matter what he's saying, and whether it's just an impromptu press conference at the courthouse or it's other events while he's doing his travel or even in New York, he's going to get the message out. And the message is simple. Are you better off four years ago? Are you better off today than you were four years ago?
And the answer is no. As a country, we're not. And you have a record to contrast between the four years he was president and the 40 years that we're living through with Joe Biden. And you're very happy with that comparison. Daniel Dale has been hired at CNN just to fact-check former President Trump.
Listen to what he said. When Donald Trump comes out and says Joe Biden's behind these court cases, this is what he said, CUP 41. Former President Trump said this is a Biden trial or this is a Biden indictment or Biden is the one who brought this case. I come out here and note correctly that that's not true. It's completely baseless.
Again, for the, I don't know how many times I've said this, this was a case brought by a locally elected prosecutor, Alvin Bragg. There is precisely zero evidence that President Biden has had any personal role in bringing the case. Former President Trump keeps invoking former DOJ official Matthew Colangelo, who went to work for D.A. Bragg's office. There is no basis for any suggestion that President Biden Biden personally put him there, ordered him there, etc.
Your thoughts? Look, Joe Biden and his allies have absolutely weaponized the judiciary system, both in civil cases and in criminal cases, to go after President Trump and his allies. There's absolutely no question about it. They even raised one of the key issues that we've seen. But we've also seen the Georgia prosecutors having meetings in the White House.
You know, I don't suppose that those are just visits and pictures, right? Nathan Wade, yeah, met with him in Athens, Georgia, too. Yes, you know, and so there's no question that there is absolutely a coordinated effort across the country with these activist Democrat prosecutors to try and bring all of these cases against the President and his allies. And by the way, Politico wrote a story in 2022 that Joe Biden is getting impatient with A.G. Garwin because he has not charged Trump yet.
So that's those are facts, along with the fact that Michelangelo takes a massive demotion to leave a very prominent position in the Department of Justice to go back to New York to try this case, and now is in the lead.
So that isn't just one guy looking for a lateral move. That was a huge step down to go back to a local district and work for Alvin Bragg.
So there's something up there. Michael, you got an important job. Best of luck. All right. Thank you, sir.
We appreciate it and we appreciate your listeners. All right. Thank you, too. Listen, when we come back, those listeners have a chance to talk. 1866-408-7669.
When I say there's a lot going on, I am understating it. Learning something new every day on the Brian Kilmeat Show. He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Killmead. But is it half the protesters that were from outside?
Is it a quarter? Is it just a small number who managed to have an outsized amount of influence? Pat, I don't think that matters. I gave you an analogy. One professor poisoning a classroom of students is just as dangerous if it's 50 bad professors talking to 50 students.
We don't need outside agitators on our college campuses hijacking the democratic right or democracies that we have in this country to right to protest. Protest is one thing, break of the law is another, and we're not going to accept that in this city. I just love Mayor Adams' whole tone on this. It was just so great. And it's so good to see a man who grew up on a tough situation in life.
He did not have a lot going for him. He makes his way to captain on the police force.
Now he's mayor, borough president, whatever you want. Whatever you think of Mayor Adams, you're a Democratic Republican. That's fine. But I love the fact that he loves the country. He said, this is America.
You don't take down the American flag and put up the Palestinian flag. You don't do it. And you don't talk to our cops like that. And these kids are being poisoned. by other outside agitators.
This is a Democrat saying that.
Now, he's available. Law enforcement gets all this intelligence. Believe me, you know, talking to Ray Kelly, he might as well be the CIA director. He was running his own intelligence unit because we were so concerned about another 9-11 in New York. And Bloomberg was pretty tapped in and gave him a lot of latitude.
Also, Commissioner Bratton was fantastic.
So he did a lot in LA too.
So he would be tapped into international threats. And when there was a bombing in Syria, a bombing in anywhere, Saudi Arabia, we would send officers over there.
So maybe some of that intelligence is on Adams' desk. as mayor You know, and he's so tapped into the police force. And he's saying, you know, what's going on here? You know, it's, I get it. You know, you protest because you don't like tax cuts or.
You know, you, you, uh, you know, Obamacare, or you, you know, you don't like Trump.
Okay, it's American president. You want to rally. Uh, you don't like Biden, you want to rally, that's fine. But you go into bat for the Palestinians. Really?
Something as complex as this?
Well, we just don't want bombing of innocent people.
Well, I have news for you. The IDF doesn't want to kill one single person, but they're in the most dense area in the world, Gaza, and these people are hiding underneath the ground, leaving unarmed people above the ground. And if we let them in power, they'll kill another 1,200 Israelis. What do you want them to do? From the Fox News Podcasts Network.
