Not illegal to suppress embarrassing stories; Longtime Trump aid Hope Hicks testifies

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

So glad you're here. Thanks for being with us all week long, and it's been a crazy week. It's one of those weeks where you really don't know what story is going to break within the show. And thanks for putting up with us. Congressman Joey Arrington will be here this hour, but I'll have a chance to take a lot of your calls and your reflections about the campus chaos and so much more.

The House Budget Committee Chairman will be with us too. We're also looking at this other story. Evidently, Jim Biden's in bankruptcy proceedings about a company that he was with, and one of his business partners is coming forward as they try to make heads or tails and talk about responsibility and talked about Jim Biden direct links with financing from Qatar.

So let me see. Hunter's over in China and over in Ukraine and over in Romania. No normal country. And then this guy's over in Qatar. Fantastic.

I wonder if he visited any Hamasa erupts when he's there or just watched the World Cup. I'm not sure. But that's where he's getting his financing from, but I'm sure Joe knew nothing about it. We'll talk about all that too. And we're watching the Unrested NYU that opened up this morning.

I think that what they did is the cops were invited in, but they waited for early in the morning when these idiots were sleeping and they started ripping up the encampment. That's in downtown New York City.

So let's get to the big three.

Now with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. I'm not allowed to testify because this judge, who's totally conflicted, has me under an unconstitutional gag order. Gag order has nothing to do with his testimony at trial. It only talks about statements outside of court.

Right. And we pretty much knew that. And I felt bad a little bit for his attorney in the background. The gag order, he could still testify. But I get it, Mr.

President. I know you're extremely frustrated, especially when Michael Cohn keeps posting and has a money-making live stream on that horrible site called TikTok. Horrible, not because of what it does, but because who owns it, and that is China. We'll talk about what's happening at the trial. We're going to have updates throughout the show because it is a big day.

It's not going to be a full day, but it's going to be a big day on that trial, day 11. Number two: 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. What child wrote that stupid speech yesterday? I mean, literally, he did a speech and said absolutely nothing except for, I condemn crime, I condemn anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. Stop on anti-Semitism. Islamophobia is not happening on college campuses.

And where are the college campuses down there? Everywhere. The White House reaction is definitely a learned moment. Why? Because they're losing young Democrats because they're siding with Israel.

And they're losing Israelis and Jews in America because they're not clearly siding with Israel. Let's go. We demand that youth Chicago repair the harm it has caused in Palestine, Chicago and beyond. Recognize Israel's genocide and scholasticide in Palestine. Oh my God, these idiots.

The University of Chicago encampment. They're listing demands, and I'm going to go through them. Try not to laugh because you'll miss one. But guess what? Campuses across this country, you're talking about 2,000 people arrested.

44 college campuses have some degree of unrest currently or subsided through 24 states. And that is the number one story this week. And it's just, it's a, everyone's talking about, well, the schools, Pete Hakeseth writes a book, and other people write a book.

Well, college campuses are going, right?

Well, not me, not my college campus. My kid's not going to do it. But then you look around the country and your jaws on the ground when you see these people dressed like Yasser Arafat sitting on college campuses, suddenly siding with a cause that's too complex for even Ivy Leagueers to understand. It would be not something you go, good guys, bad guys. I will give you the history and tell you why we're allied for 70 plus years with Israel.

Number one, we helped create the country. Number two, coming off the Holocaust. You understand the Balfour Agreement, the Oslo Accords. Things that worked and didn't work along the way that got us to this point. And the elections during the Bush administration that put Hamas in power.

And their one goal is not to live in a two-state solution, one state without Israel. And that's what they've been fomenting all this time, pretending as if they were going to be compliant and work to a degree and coexist with the current or any Israeli government. And they were lulled, and there'll be an investigation on this, into complacency. And the result was over 2,000 people massacred in the most horrific way possible. But yet in America, the majority of people demonstrating flat out against Israel.

Don't like Jews. President of the United States, we almost carried it live. We thought it was going to be a longer speech, but just five minutes. And then it's back to business as usual. What is it like on the campus?

How about George Washington University? Did you see this? We had a congressional delegation. Republicans go down there. It's a very short drive from.

Uh from Downtown Washington.

So they went in there and they see these protesters and they engage some of them. And to talk to them, they just want to let all these Jewish students know: do not quit, do not resign, work your way through it. We got your back. But what is it like being Jewish on campus, knowing that the George Washington statue in the middle of campus is now covered in Palestinian Hamas garb? Here's Skylar Serkazi talked about what it was like being spit on and yelled at at a place they're paying $90,000 to go to.

Cut for. I got spit at, yelled at. They were trying to take my picture. They're definitely trying to intimidate us, get us to leave. They've posted signs: we'll leave when the Israelis leave, we'll leave when the Israelis go back to their real homes, the U.S., Europe, the places that systematically have murdered us in the past.

It's very clear that we're not wanted on campus, and I personally feel like my safety has been compromised. They've yelled death to Zionists, Zionists go to hell. At the rally, they were chanting from the river to the sea, globalize the intifada. You know, those are all traditional. anti-Semitic tropes, they are calling for the elimination of Jewish people all around the world.

So, the former president, who wants to be the next president, comes out and says, clean it all up, get rid of those encampments, it's only going to get worse. This current president says, I am for free speech and for speaking out, but he got to keep it peaceful. We know that. That's the format. That format doesn't bother people.

The encampments, the intimidation, the lockdowns, the blocking of taking finals, that's the issue. And then demanding things of your administration or else you will not leave. That's the issue.

So it's going across the country, and what I think they aren't expecting is the pushback at Rutgers, where other kids stood up, sorry, speaking of the national singing the national anthem in the middle of their camp against their campus in New Jersey. And then you have in North Carolina getting a lot of getting a lot of publicity because they stood up and sang the national anthem, took down the Palestinian flag, put up the American flag. Cut six is Isaac Mahler. He told his story about his fraternity that stood up and sang out for America, Cut Six. When we talk about motivation for the flag, the primary reason I was on that quad, right, before this ever even began to become an American issue, I was on there because I'm Jewish and I'm Orthodox, and a lot of members that were holding up that flag were.

And so we were there really just kind of holding up our Israeli flags and trying to stop hate. Yeah, I think that's awesome.

Now, keep this in mind when we condemn what's going on on campuses. A lot of these people are not from the school. The breakdown of Arrested City College, this horrible university that used to have this sterling reputation because it was affordable right in downtown New York City.

So many first time immigrants went there and had a great foundation for an elite education. Not any more. Here's the arrest at City College. One hundred and seventy were arrested. Sixty eight were students, not affiliated, one hundred and two.

The breakdown of arrested Columbia, one hundred and twelve were arrested, eighty students, not affiliated, thirty two. I mean, this is pretty much the story. That is the breakdown. NYU, it's even more to that. NYU, it's even more.

In fact, I had it up there. As I mentioned, 44 college campuses in 24 states, 2,000 arrested, roughly. I'm sure that number is going to rise today. The NYPD says 282 were arrested during a raid. at NYU and one hundred and thirty four had no affiliation.

This is if you combine Columbia and NYU. It was 282 arrested, with 134 with no affiliation to either school. That's important. Number one, get them off campus.

So, if you're a gutless and you feel as though your board doesn't back you and you're a chancellor or president of a big university, you go out and say, I want the cops in there because I have no idea where my students are. I don't know who are the students, who's not the students. I don't know who stole an ID. I want them weeded out.

So, Byron Donald is one of the courageous people that went down as a Republican to George Washington University, and he engaged. He engaged a lot of the protesters. Cut 13. My reaction, Sean, is that it's time for us to stand up to this type of foolishness and not sit back and let the radical left run these institutions any further into the ground than they've already gone. What it requires is Americans to look this up straight in the eye and respond, which is what I did yesterday.

Glad that my colleagues decided to go to George Washington University to see firsthand what is going on. And it is crystal clear that you have Jewish students who are being subjected to intimidation, harassment, in some respects, assault, and it's got to stop and it's got to stop immediately. And that requires leadership. And we don't have it. And the President's paying the price for this.

If you see some of this, evidently there's a hundred thousand They represent more Democrats, college Democrats, and there's a big Democratic Party. And you know that's nothing new. There's more Democrats than Republicans on campus. Republicans are also often niche and they know exactly what they want to do and they know exactly who to hang out with. But with Democrats, there's a lot.

And they got to be worried because now they say because of the President's stance with Israel in their war on Gaza, they're reconsidering supporting him. Since the beginning of this conflict, college STEMs and students from every walk of life have had the moral clarity to see the war for what it is destructive, genocidal and unjust. As college Democrats were committed in the reelection of President Biden, but nevertheless went on to express the organization's disappointment in him. They say the White House has taken a mistaken route of a bear hug strategy with Netanyahu, a cold shoulder strategy for its own base, and all Americans who want to see an end to the war each day the Democrats fail to stand united for a permanent ceasefire. I could go on.

They tweet: finally, college STEMs' votes are not to be taken for granted by the Democratic Party.

Now, If you're a Republican, what do you think about this? They're running ads for this. It's like watching two sides of your family fight with each other and knowing at one point it's going to be your problem. And if you're Republicans, just so you know, Netanyahu should be supported. We should not get involved in his tactics.

Any civilian dies is a tragedy, but it's all on Hamas. They started October 7th. They will get an answer, and it's got to be strong, and it's got to result in the elimination of Hamas in the area as much as possible. And that includes going into Rafah. And the President of the United States needs to say exactly what I said to the country and take his whole left side on.

Come on, squad, come at me. This is the right thing to do. If I have a complaint, it'll be behind closed doors because I'm not going to embarrass my ally in the region. And if I look at the tactics and I look at the drone footage, and if I think they're being ham-handed and retributional, if that is a word, but you know what I mean, if they're doing that, I'll bring it up. But if not I understand how tough it is to fight in an urban environment.

And if not, I there's so many Navy SEALs and people I can get on the phone to talk to me about Ramadi and Fallujah and the takedown in Kabul and what you do in these uncertain environments when people know the region and you don't. And then I would find out, take a look at this footage, experts, Navy SEALs. Green Berets, Commanders, what do you think? You know what they're saying? They're saying this was a pretty impressive operation, the IDF is.

They're saying they're going out of their way to avoid civilian casualties. But you understand, the fighters are subterrarian. They're in the tunnels. They're putting the people up top. They're putting them in hospitals and daycares and schools.

I know that. The White House knows that. But they're still going public in criticism to try to get some Arab support. It's despicable. Just be s firm in where you stand and let the chips fall where they may.

And I go back to Bush 41. He has no regrets about the way he handled the fall of the Berlin Wall, the settlement, and. and the lack of gloating when it came to the collapse of the Soviet Union, how he worked elsewhere to settle things down, and when Saddam Hussein got aggressive, how he fought. And when the economy fell, he set it up for success. But he wouldn't feel that success until his fifth year.

Sadly, he only has a four-year in office. The economy was wallowing, it was struggling, but he didn't do a short-term fix. He took on Clinton head to head and he lost. And then he appeared at his Uh uh he appeared at his uh At his dedication of his portrait. And he came out and said, Dude, Bill Clinton gave a great speech.

And he said, Now I know why I lost. But you know what? George Bush 41 slept good at night. He did the things necessary the best he could, and did the things that were right. People were all over him for not finishing off Saddam Hussein.

He said, no, that wasn't my mission. But he said this is the best I can do. Good leaders do the right thing. Don't wallow for an election. And you tell the people of Dearborn, number one, are you citizens?

Number two, do you remember what country you're in? Number three, I understand you got relatives there, but you understand there was one country that was attacked. If they don't like it, they don't like it.

So be it.

So now you're splitting the baby, and you're still going to get riots and interruptions in every one of your speeches that is in closed door, and your Democratic National Convention looks to be an absolute train wreck in Chicago. Lot to discuss. I'm so glad you're here. Your calls are next. 1866-408-7669.

The President of the United States, the former President of the United States, is speaking before going in on his trial. His lawyer looks as miserable as usual, and he's talking about how he's winning so far. He's winning on the trial, and he's winning on the campaign trail. We'll bring some of that back in a moment.

So much going on. Don't move. Politics, current events, and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say. Stay with Brian Kilmead.

People smelled like chicken broth for a long time. Um Yeah, so I definitely got water thrown at me and sprayed at me. I know a couple kids had rocks and sticks thrown at them. One of my friends got hit with a water ball and it was. and has like a gash under his eye.

I didn't get hurt with anything, but I definitely had projectiles thrown at me many times. Which was Shocking and um I it definitely was a little Scary?

So that is a student at UNC talking about what it was like when they were defending the US flag and what how they were in the middle of the violence. There's violence there.

So if people say it's no big deal, it is a big deal. Uh other people Writing me too. I just want you to hear more from Haley. Cut number two. I stood on South Building holding an American flag actually as they were taking it down.

So it was the most shocking thing I think I have almost ever seen in my life. I could not believe that they were taking down the American flag and putting up a Palestinian flag. The reason why they can even hold these protests to begin with is because they're in America, because they're in a country where they allow freedom of speech, and they allow these protests to happen. And so just taking it down was just, it was shocking to me. I was so upset.

Of course. And then they took action. And I think that's going to be the pushback that these heretics are not expecting. There's going to be some organizations from Patriotic Kids standing up and speaking out. And I think that's important.

Maybe we'll see some blowback, and maybe people will tap into their patriotism a little bit. That would certainly be nice. But they're talking about craziness. See if we have enough time. University of Chicago encampment listing demands for them to pick up stakes.

Cut 10. We demand. Demand that you, Chicago, repair the harm it has caused in Palestine, Chicago. And beyond. This includes explicitly acknowledging such harm as well as.

implementing a communally accountable program of reparation. More specifically, it includes one. Recognize Israel's genocide and scholasticide in Palestine and to the Important. For Dick University's initiative to rebuild Bazin higher education. Two.

Citing the UN Principles for Responsible Investment. Three. Disbanding UCPD and directing redirecting funds to southside community-based projects? Four, allocating funds to annual rental assistance in local schools, expanding employer-assisted housing. Funding ramp for long term.

Affordable housing. And decarbonizing the endowment of emissions. Don't go to the school. Look at that stuff, it's obtainable, and pick another school. The University of Chicago's got an incredible reputation, especially in business.

Pick someplace else, they don't need you. I I can't believe someone should slap these people around. If you're interested in it, Brian's Talking About It. You're with Brian Kilmead.

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, gets two votes. And frankly, it's got people like Marjorie Taylor Green 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 that people like Marjorie Taylor Green won't actually stand up and take victories. Instead, that they Grants. That is Senator Ted Cruz.

Does anyone think he's not extremely conservative? Does anyone think that he does not want to take on tough causes? He's also a realist. He says this is what we have in terms of a majority. This is what we can do.

I'm disappointed there wasn't border stuff in there. Speaker Johnson's going to be on the Saturday night on One Nation at 9 o'clock. And I'm disappointed, but he said Chuck Schumer wasn't budging on that. And I could not wait anymore. Ukraine was dying on the vine, and Israel was desperate for our aid.

So was Taiwan. And we're in a perilous situation right now. Congressman Jody Arrington joins us now out of Texas, House Budget Committee Chairman. Congressman, welcome back. Do you echo Marjorie Taylor Greene or do you echo Ted Cruz?

Well, I would say that it's very misguided and potentially disastrous to go through a motion to vacate again. and throw our conference into chaos. This This close to the most important election of our lifetime. Mike Johnson's one of my best friends. He's a great guy, a true principled conservative.

And a very prayerful, faithful person who is. doing everything he can to take the small wins that we are allowed to take with a small majority, with one chamber in Congress and a derelict president. Look, I disagree with the notion of not using the power of the purse. To get some meaningful change at the border. As budget chairman, I disagree with not paying for foreign aid.

And I certainly, as a Texan, take exception to giving money to providing security for other sovereign countries and not our own sovereign border and the safety of our citizens. At the same time, Brian, Uh The reality is, we have a one-seat margin, and he's got to work both sides of the political spectrum within our own conference just to get something passed. And probably between now and this election, the worst thing we could do is just grind to a halt and create chaos. And that's not going to help President Trump. And by the way, ultimately, on the border, in the streets of our cities, and across the world in terms of America's leadership, what we have to do, like what we absolutely have to do and cannot fail to do, is win in November.

And I think that's. That's the perspective, and that's the laser focus of Speaker Johnson. And for that, I respect it. And I may have a different view, but I think he's trying to be responsible to that ultimate aim. We save the country in 2025 if we can get a Republican Senate, maintain the Republican House, and for the love of God and country, change out the Oval Office.

Right. And you've got to get the border under control. Everybody realizes that. Congressman Arrington, have you? They say roughly 25 seats are in play every time, maybe 27.

Would you say it's more or less? I think that's what's in play. I think realistically, if we can get a margin of ten plus, that's a good election cycle at this time. And with the redistricting around the country, which has made Uh a lot of uh districts that were one-sided more competitive. And so there's just It's harder to get beyond that thin majority on either side because of gerrymandering and redistricting.

You're being outraged by a lot. Is there a plan? I know Kev McCarthy was prolific.

So, is there a plan in place to try to catch up a cohesive plan to keep the majority? Oh yeah, absolutely. Richard Hudson's chair of our political slash campaign arm. And I know the speaker is spending a ton of time on the road rallying our supporters and freedom-loving people around the country to the fact that our country is hanging off the precipice of civilization, rule of law. You know, it's looking downward at At socialism and where we would move towards a permanent European-style socialism if we don't have a change in direction, which means we need a change in the Oval Office and in Congress.

So, no, I think we're the plan is a good plan. It's easy to contrast the lawlessness, incompetence. The infringing freedom-infringing policies of this administration. I mean, the list of self-inflicted crises is hard to cover, even in one radio interview. But the point is, we just have to continue to contrast where we are today.

I'm the budget chairman. I can tell you that the debt crisis that is looming large over our country is real. And the pocketbook issues where people are getting, you know, spending, having to spend more money every day and every month for their bills, for their gas and groceries, is going to play out in the polls. We're going to find out I guess we're going to find out shortly. But when we look at what the President's going through in this courtroom, what is the perspective from Washington and what's the perspective from Texas?

Do they even understand what he's charged with? Do they watching every day? What is the sense of how much people care about this trial? of Trump. I think they've seen enough to know that this is Not just um not just a political ploy to destroy the President's character leading up to this election and to distract the American people from the real issues Of the border chaos, the crime spree, the spending-induced inflation, et cetera.

I think that, but it's worse than that. It's worse than that, Brian. I think people are concerned that we're looking more like Castro's Cuba under the Biden administration or Putin's Russia, where they're using the levers of power To destroy a political opponent. I mean, that's. As they say, Banana Republic stuff.

And it should scare everyone. And as Trump has said, and I think he's right on, if they can do that to me, imagine what they can do to you.

So again, this is why Uh, this we've never had a more important, a more uh pivotal election than we have to uh, this November.

So, he, uh, Nikki Haley's still on the sidelines. Governor Ron DeSantis endorsed the president, they weren't quiet, but they talked a couple of days ago. Here's what Governor Ron DeSantis said about that talk: Cut 34. Back in January, um, I endorsed him. I think it's really important that we win this election, and I reiterated that to him.

Uh, you know, we're going to be uh active in a variety of capacities throughout the rest of the year for to help uh you know, not just the top of the ticket, but but all around the country and particularly in Florida with some of the key issues we have to deal with. Uh, but you know, a lot of it was just uh connecting about things. I mean, look, he's a dad, he's got a kid going to college. You know, I'm a dad, I've got three young kids in the household. Uh, he's concerned about how my wife was doing.

Obviously, she had a cancer scare a couple years ago, uh, so it was just a good meeting and a good conversation. But um, he understands the importance of this election.

So, Godfrey, it wasn't easy. For Ronda Sanders to do that. He hasn't lost in a while, and it got personal, but he immediately said, no problem. How important is it for Governor Nikki Haley and the former President to get together? Because you do have to get independence.

Winning with Republicans is not enough. Undecided independence will decide the election. I'm sure you agree, Congressman. 100%. Everybody's got to put their personal feelings and aside and their pride and say, this is about the future of this country.

And this inflection point is going to determine whether we submit to the rise of socialism or renew our faith in God and freedom. That is really the crux of where we are. And we don't have time to wallow in our self-pity or to try to fly spec. President Trump's personality and style, which, you know, I don't always agree with his style and personality. It's not my style or personality.

But let me tell you what we have to do. We have to rally. For the policies and principles that we know will make America great again. And we desperately need those. We need to stand up, not because it's President Trump, but because our values, our freedom, and our way of life is on the ballot.

And we've got to do the right thing. Ron DeSantis humbly did that, and we need Nikki Haley and everybody else to follow suit.

So I understand that there's a joint resolution that's going to be offered. An invitation is going to be signed on by Chuck Schumer to have Benjamin Netanyahu come. Speaker Johnson initiated it and speak to a joint session of Congress. Would you be in support of that? And what do you think that will do?

Number one, we can imagine the protests now that we see what we're seeing. What do you think that will do for this cause? Yeah.

Well, I think it will give the leader of our ally, Israel, a chance to address some of the things happening in this country and some of the cultural Shifts and shifts in public sentiment on Israel directly. And I think it will also highlight, Brian, that these cultural shift and this sort of anti-Israel and then sometimes anti-Semitic sentiment is coming out of the Democrat Party because that party, and there are some good people in it, there are people I work with and have Respect for, but that party has been hijacked by the left. And this is case in point. There are lots of examples, but this is case in point.

So I think it will draw a clear distinction. And as I mentioned earlier, we have to show a contrast for the American people between this Radical agenda, the socialist spending, and the leftist ideology that is a rot within our country, and the values that made America what it is today. And the normal, really, the common sense and normality that still prevails in the Republican Party. And this is an example or a good opportunity to do that. Just the job numbers just came in 45 minutes ago, and it says that we've added 175,000 jobs, 69,000 less than projected.

The unemployment is up to 3.9 percent. What do you take from that as chairman of the House Budget Committee? uh that our that our economy is uh more fragile and tenuous than the Biden administration would have you believe. The most recent GDP numbers were half of what was predicted. It was supposed to be close to three percent in the first quarter.

It was one point six percent. And inflation is supposed to be going down so that the Fed can bring interest rates down. But instead, this last month, year over year, was the highest in six months, and it was a 3.5% uptick in inflation. And the cumulative inflation since Biden has taken office has been almost 20%.

So, and we haven't even talked about the national debt and the $7 trillion that Biden has added to that and what that's doing not only to our priorities nationally, to our military and our preparedness, but to the economy and the future of America. It is the greatest threat to our future and to our children's future. And Republicans have to prioritize that like we prioritize the border and everything else when we have, God willing, the majority come 2025. Congressman Jodia Arrington, thanks so much. Have a great weekend, Congressman.

Thank you, Brian. God bless. You got it. 1-866-408-7669. I'm going to come back.

I see your calls up there from around the country. We're watching what's happening at NYU right now because we understand that the arrests are happening. The encampments are being ripped up, UCLA style. Don't move. Want even more, Brian?

Download the podcast at BrianKillMeShow.com. Every episode, exclusive interviews on demand. More of Kill Me coming up. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show.

It's absolutely orchestrated. I mean, it doesn't take a decorated New York City detective to tell that when you walk onto the campus of Columbia or other campuses throughout the country and you look at videos of tents, and all of the tents are almost identical. I mean, I even heard from some law enforcement sources that there were individuals at some of these protests that legitimately had their desks set up on a shopping cart where they were checking people in and making sure that they were getting payment, be it by cash or by Venmo.

So these are absolutely choreographed. We have seen that educational institutions across this country, specifically ones like Columbia, have become petri dishes for hate. Right, and the faculty's organizing it. I talked to Jeff Lacks today, and he'll be on a different part of this. The Friday edition.

And Jeff Lacks is a teacher as a professor at City College. And he says: not only are faculty participating, they're leading. They're absolutely leading. Other places, they go to general websites, and there's no secret why they have the same type of tents, type tents, not all of them, why they have the same type of delivery. They know the supplies they need.

They know why it's important to take buildings. It's all in their doctrine. Joel In Naples, Florida. Hey, Joel. Good morning, Brian.

I have a question. I'll make it quick. Um I'm wondering if any of the students or some of the parents that represent those students I know a lot of those students are uh uh adult age, but if they have any uh recourse on suing any of those universities or colleges or institutions for I think you can security and also for not being able to go to class. Yeah, Alan Dershowitz says there's a lot there, what you just said, and he's offered to represent any kid for free. They're setting up a whole team to do it.

So I do think they should absolutely do it. As much as I. I don't want to give money to these institutions. I'd hate to back off if I was a Jewish student. And I know Brandeis and Yeshiva are saying we'll extend our deadline to transfer until another two or three weeks into May.

I would uh wait even more and I get it, you just want four years uh and a prestigious degree, but I hate the fact that it's forcing kids to do different things because of because of their religion. I you know, it just fundamentally it just doesn't feel right. But I understand the sentiment. If I'm a parent, I can't worry every single day. Thanks so much for the call.

This is what's happening on these campuses. Right now, I can't believe that at George Washington University, it is covered with Palestinian garb, the statue. And when the cops came and surrounded it to take it down, they got surrounded and they left. Why are they leaving? Are you kidding?

The president comes out in a speech yesterday, kind of forced to, because he's losing this issue. Senator Tom Cotton has been calling on this for a while. This guy knows leadership. He understands the issues. Ivy Lee Grad fought in the infantry.

Cut 15. Democrats are always accusing Donald Trump of disobeying court orders or taking other authoritarian steps. And he didn't do any of that. But it's Joe Biden who, for instance, is disobeying Supreme Court orders, finding new ways to reward his would-be voters, trying to lock up. his chief political opponent by weaponizing the legal system.

And that means that some of these fanatics and pro-Hamas sympathizers and little gazas all across America could be eligible to get their student loans canceled. That's why I've introduced legislation with several of my colleagues in the Senate, the Nobel Hunts for Campus Criminals Act, that would say if you've been arrested and convicted of crimes related to this mob action on campus, the federal government is never going to bail you out from your student loans. That would be great, but I don't think the Biden administration has any interest in that. Why? They're afraid of alienating more Arab Americans if they are Americans.

You got to be kicked out right away if you're one of the millions-plus students studying in our colleges.

Now, I know if you're a private school and you have a country that's going to pay for your students' education, full tuition, like China, they're everywhere. I think we got 80,000 students in China, and we have over millions of Chinese students here.

So we're educating them, and they become mini spies, and they got their families back there, and they report back. They've already been caught multiple times. Talk to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo about that.

So if you want to talk about a patriotic experience, I'm talking about history, liberty, and laughs. I'm putting it together on stage. You'll see me in Indianapolis, Indiana on June 28th, and on the 27th, July 27th, East Stroudsburg, BrianKillmee.com. From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City. Always seeking solutions, never sowing division.

It's Brian Kilmead. Here we go, closing out a wild week here from 48th and 6th in Midtown Manhattan.

So much going on. I woke up today, yesterday, two days ago, was about UCLA being cleared out. And today we saw the NYPD scramble to clear out NYU at the school's request. Which Larry Krasner, of all people, the disgraceful DA or in Philadelphia, says you got to be an idiot to invite the police to clear out people that are protesting. I mean, this guy is just clueless.

I mean, how hopeless and helpless are the people of Philadelphia with crime running rampant? That's somebody there, no interest in cleaning out the criminals, and now he weighs in on what New York is doing. That's incredible.

So, before we get to Alan West and Jeff Lacks, a city college professor who is in the middle of the madness, he is a voice of sanity. City College is as left-wing and crazed as anybody.

So, let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. I'm not allowed to testify because this judge, who's totally conflicted, has me under an unconstitutional gag order. Gag order has nothing to do with his testimony at trial. It only talks about statements outside of court.

Yes, Donald Trump weighing in in between court sessions, frustrated, but we'll go over what happened in day 10, and we'll talk about what's happening right now in day 11. Number two. 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. That's the most non-substantive speech you'll ever hear. It took five minutes, and of course, the president had to condemn anti-Semitism and the next breath to cry Islamophobia. Islamophobia has nothing to do with this.

Most of these people are pro-Islam, pro-Muslim, pro-Palestinian. They're not the problem. The people spitting in the face of the Jewish students is the problem. Number one. We demand that youth Chicago repair the harms it has caused in Palestine, Chicago.

And beyond. Recognizing Israel's genocide and scholasticide in Palestine. Crazy campus. It is flat-out chaos. I'm talking about 44 separate campuses in 24 states.

That's minimum. That's been reported. There are probably small colleges dealing with a lot of this. For example, SUNY Purchase. I found out that was not included in the 44 states because New York already had it, but that's an upstate liberal college that's having their sit-ins.

Just incredible what's been going on in this country over the last few days and how sooner or later it's up to law enforcement again to clean up the mess. The same law enforcement that were told, you know what, we don't really need you. Let's reimagine the police. Let's not pay them enough. Let's clamp them down, make them wear body cams and head cameras so we can find out exactly what they're up to.

Meanwhile, four were just assassinated trying to pull off one of these fugitives over in North Carolina. Two were just killed over in Syracuse, and we know about the one that was just killed over in Queens, New York. And that was a massive funeral here in New York.

So let's bring in Lieutenant Colonel Alan West. Colonel, you haven't had much of a problem. In Texas, University of Texas, Austin, but the governor came in and cleansed it up. We're finding out a lot of these agitators are from outside the college. I mean, they should be charged, shouldn't they?

No, you're absolutely right. It's great to be with you, Brian, and wrapping up the week. You know, it was interesting that you had the wife of a gentleman that was a defendant during the Holy Land Terror Foundation terrorist trial. She was one of these agitators. And so, why is she on a college or university campus when yet you have college and university students that are being blocked from being able to go to class?

This is quite amazing to me. You just played the clip of the young lady talking about Israel committing a genocide.

Well, Hamas has in its charter a genocide. Of the state of Israel and the Jewish people. And that's what happened on October the 7th. They illegally crossed the border of a sovereign nation state. They're a terrorist organization, non-state, non-uniformed belligerents, with the intent of doing one thing: killing and murdering Israeli citizens.

And then they took them hostages. And young women that were raped. I don't know, where are all the feminist voices? Why are these young women on these college and university campuses speaking? Standing up for a terrorist organization that committed violent acts against women.

If you told me there'd be a pro-Palestinian movement. At this level, and as I mentioned, in 44 separate campuses, it's more like 88, but let's say 44 that we've reported on, big ones like Brown and Dartmouth now, too. We have to have all Ivy League schools embarrass themselves. But you saw what happened in Columbia. If you've watched the television at all, you saw that they started there, and that the encampment that was ripped up when they took a building, it changed everything around.

But the editor of Columbia Law Review, really showing that they have absolutely no courage in spine or awareness, they say the violence we witnessed last night, mean two nights ago, has irrevocably shaken many of us. We know this is to be the same for a majority of our classmates. The events left us and many of our peers unable to focus and highly emotional during this tumultuous time. The current exam policy raises concerns about equity and academic integrity. Many are unwell at this time and cannot study or concentrate while their peers are being hauled to jail.

We urge Columbia Law School to cancel exams or mandate a mandatory pass fail for all law students. Can you sell anything that just bleeds weak more than that? Weak and the whole victim mentality.

So, in other words, we should be allowed to go out there and conduct ourselves in a totally imbecilic manner. We should be able to go out there and chant things such as from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free, which means you're promoting a genocide. We should be able to go out and talk about intifada, which means a violent act against a certain ethnic group of people, and that's the Jewish people that resulted in thousands of lives being lost when it was conducted. And there should be no consequences, there should be no ramifications thereof. These Ivy League schools and any of these universities that are allowing this to happen, the administration should be just ashamed of themselves.

And I got to tell you, expel these students. Just say we don't want you on this campus. And there were students that were told they couldn't go to class. And now you're saying because you feel bad, because we held you responsible, that you can't take exams.

Well, if you get an F and you fail, then you fail the class.

So There is an opportunity for people who get tossed out, and they're supposed to be suspended at Columbia. At UCLA, they're thinking about it. They have no idea what their ambitions will be, if any. They're all out, by the way. They were all brought in on their prison bus and they came out.

And I watched their taking their masks off. They were all smiley after they pushed back and shot cops with fire extinguishers and had those flashbangs and the strobe lights. Mohammed Museini, head of the Shiraz University. He is, of course, in Tehran, Iran, has really put out his hand to students. He said, students and professors who have been expelled or threatened with expulsion can continue their studies at Shiraz University.

And I think the other university in Shiraz as well, as Fars Province, are all prepared to provide the conditions. You could get a TUG scholarship to an Iranian college. Why don't we let them take that opportunity? I would actually have a GoFundMe page to get them free flights to Tehran. And they wouldn't need a round trip because I'm sure they're not getting out.

No, they're not getting out, and I'm sure within a few days of being over there, they'd be screaming to come out. You know, when you see the young people with the signs gaze for Gaza, go over to Tehran and see how well that will work out at a place where they still execute people for their sexual orientation.

So when you look at these young people, they are completely lost. They do not understand this issue. And it's just as disturbing, you know, for me, someone who served in military uniform for twenty two years, that we have our young people that want to, you know, support a terrorist organization that killed Americans. And I'm thinking about this this year, this summer, I'm going over to Normandy and I'll be jumping into Normandy for the eightieth anniversary of D Day. Once upon a time, we had young men that were lying about their age.

So that they could go and fight evil.

Now we have young men and women that are embracing evil because that's what Habas is. Yeah, I mean, what a difference. And we got to get back to recruiting people. I want to see some great ads out there and talk about the opportunity that the military gives and the character it creates. I want to see those ads.

Do you notice we don't see any of those ads, but yet everyone agrees recruiting's off? Do you ever hear the president talking about recruiting being off? Do you ever hear our Secretary of Defense talk about recruiting being off? Where is he? Has he disappeared again?

I mean, where is this guy? We got all these active wars. Where's the Secretary of Defense?

Well, remember, Dick Durbin went into the floor of the Senate chamber and he said the way that we make up this difference in recruiting and retention is that we should allow illegal immigrants. To serve in our uniform.

So think about this. We want people who violated our Constitution to come into this country illegal, you know, these single military age males, and we expect them to take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. That's how backwards, that's how idiotic these progressive socialist leftists are. And you're right. Joe Biden is not coming out and saying as commander in chief, you know, I want you to come out and serve.

He's still talking about his uncle that got eaten by cannibals.

So, this is just absolutely insidious. And yeah, where is the Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, who served in uniform and climbed to the rank of four-star general? It was explained to me. That Where Barack Obama came out famously and they said, you know, there's a terrorist organization that's forming in Iraq and they're threatening to take Baghdad. And he said, well, just because someone has the same ideology as Bin Laden doesn't mean they're Bin Laden.

He goes, this is basically the JV team. Do you know who told him that? Lloyd Austin, who was the four-star general on the ground there. Yeah.

And how amazing it is because now we have ISIS once again reconstituting themselves in the exact same area in Syria, in northern Iraq, and we know that ISIS K, who operates out of Afghanistan, since Joe Biden turned that back into a terror sanctuary, they conducted that attack against Russia and killed the people there at that theater.

So we're watching now as the Secretary of State is forcing Netanyahu to take some type of peace deal. Hamas is considering the last one, but they want a total ceasefire. They want all the Israeli troops out of Gaza, and they want the ceasefire to be the end of this whole conflict. And they want to have all the Palestinian citizens return to northern Gaza, making an invasion of Rafah almost impossible. And I don't think Netanyahu should agree to it.

I hope he doesn't. But just to talk about this president being all over the place when it comes to his policy, that's what's being relayed in the Middle East. Margaret Brennan of CBS sat down with the Queen of Jordan, a Palestinian heritage, you know, the king. This is his queen, CUD 36. Jordan's queen was really giving a warning in the course of our conversation.

She said the war is becoming one of the largest recruitment events in recent history for terror groups. She described anger, particularly among young people who are live streaming the daily destruction in Gaza using U.S.-supplied weapons. She talked about the death of 15,000 children since October, the man-made famine-like conditions. And she said it's not just extremists, but now educated young people in her country who are openly. Questioning why the world isn't stopping it, and they see it as a selective application of humanitarian law.

She said, It's a sign our lives don't matter as much. And you know, Vlad, the Queen isn't alone in her risk assessment. The Director of National Intelligence in this country described the war in Gaza as having a generational impact on terrorism. We know a lot about terrorism now. You're actually over there yourself.

You stare down terrorists. Do you worry about this being a recruiting tool because it's taking so long?

Well you know Everything is going to be a recruiting tool. The fact that Western Civilization exists is a recruiting tool. You know, I recently had a monologue where I talked about the Muslim Brotherhood and their explanatory memorandum for North America that was written in 1991. We found it in an FBI raid in 2004. They hate us because we exist.

And I think her name is Queen Noor. She should talk to her husband and ask him how his dad, Queen Raina, asked how his dad dealt with the Yasser Arafat and the quote-unquote Palestinians who were operating out of refugee camps and conducted terrorism against the nation of Jordan. He dropped bombs on the refugee camps. And so she has no moral high ground here. And again, why is it that everyone is taking the side of a terrorist organization?

Why is it everyone saying that, you know, we need to come together and stop Islamic terrorism? We need to come together against Hamas. No, we need to go against the people who were brutally killed, raped, and attacked on October 7th. I hear you serve again. All right, Colonel Alan West, thanks so much, Colonel.

Goes great. My pleasure. Always best, Brian. All right, go get him.

Meanwhile, 1-866-408-7669. Bottom of the hour, Jeff Lacks joins us. He's a city college professor. He's also at Kingsborough Community College and a founder of Safe Campus. Which advocates for Zionist Jews discriminated against and excluded on college?

He had this before this recent unrest. What he'd have to say, you have to hear. Your call's next. Diving deep into today's top stories, it's Brian Kilmead. Uh Breaking news, unique opinions.

Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. Actor Brian Cox says the worst book ever written is the Bible.

Well, apparently he's never read any of these. Oh, that hurts. Are you crazy? I'm comparing your book to the Bible, Brian.

So on Tuesday, Judge Merchan held Donald Trump in contempt of court and fined him nine grand for violating a gag order. Trump should have reached into his wallet, grabbed the $9,000 in cash, and thrown it at the judge and said, here, go bang Stormy Daniels eight times. Yeah.

It's funny. A city that can't keep violent felons in jail wants to lock up a president for talking. Their priorities are more out of whack than a morning show hosted by people who hate each other. Thanks for coming on, B. I know.

It's going well. His book is number one at most landfills. Host of One Nation and co-host of Fox's friends, Brian Kilmead. Kilmead, always pleasant to have you on the show. I don't think so.

I'm already down three runs and I have not got up to the plate yet.

So that was his introduction. Why I do that show, you keep like saying to me, oh, you're doing gutfell tonight. Until I get there, I don't realize what a different experience it's going to be. You're making me sound like I have much more control over your schedule than I do. You agree to do it.

I know. Why do I agree to do it? It's so easy to say yes. Uh because I just think to myself, if I don't have to be anywhere that night, could I do that show? And it's also great because it has my appearances underneath.

Did they put them up last night? I didn't, I told them to do, and they always do it. I think they did, yeah. I'm sure they did. But I mean, we, and I sold a bunch of tickets last night.

So I have to do it. Indianapolis on June 29th and Strasbourg on July 27th. Those are the places. Yes. That's exactly.

BrianKilby.com. Yep. Yeah.

So.

So people could see me live, because you know what it's like. Uh, Eric, can you put into words what it's like seeing me every day? Because a lot of people don't have the abil have that privilege. And what would they be mi what are they gonna get in June and July? You can't really put it into words even.

I mean, I I say every day, it's hard to describe.

Well, that means it's kinda like you. Take an easy way out. You can describe it. I got time. We still got to know.

It'll be the best night of their lives, Brian. Best night. It's a mix of history and fun and interesting stuff that goes on. Bottom of the year, I'm going to have Jeff Lacks on. Quick thing.

I'll be on the five tonight, too, as well.

Somebody talk more about this other breaking news. Donald Trump did come out and speak before he went in. In my view, he looks a little bit more upbeat than he used to, than he has been in the past. Yesterday was interesting because Michael Cohen gave some tapes over, at which time it was Donald Trump speaking to Michael Cohen. Everyone's so excited on CNN and so excited on MSNBC.

Then they were saying the same. Saying, number one, he's ranting. That I have money for you. And he said, I have money for you for financing, for financing. What finance you'll pay you cash?

And then he comes back and he says, No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We're not going to pay cash. All right. Again, it's an example of a client taking his lawyer's advice.

Now, the lawyer turns on him after his home was raided. By the way, after his office was raided, very underrated. First of months in office, they raid Michael Cohen's office.

So they go in there, so he's following his advice. What's it for? I don't know. Then We're going to see Michael Cohen. Who swears up and down?

I never wanted to go to Washington. I was not bitter at Donald Trump. I have just seen the Lord, and I now want to do the right thing. We have somebody on the stand who said Michael Cohen was so upset about not being brought to Washington by Donald Trump, he was near suicidal. Near suicidal.

That's a little different. I don't think that really worked for the prosecution yesterday.

Somehow they got to build up Michael Cohen to make him believable. Not so much. The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead.

So, Jeff Lacks is with us now. He just freshed off Fox and Friends. He was on with Stuart Varney. But Jeff has been speaking out. He's a CUNY law professor, and he's at Kingsbury Community College, founder of Safe Campus, which advocates for Zionists and Jewish discriminated against and excluded on college campuses.

Jeff, great to see you again. Thank you for having me. We're just watching, yeah, George Washington University, a Jewish student, saying she feels threatened where she goes on campus. You were saying this a while ago, but now we're seeing it in 44 campuses, probably more. 44 campuses in 24 states.

But at City College, you felt this for how long? Many years, behind the scenes. I've seen the planning. I've seen the Marxist faculty members planning this. I've seen where the funding comes from.

And the main thing, the main message I really want to get across to people is they see the faces of students. It is not students who are organizing these rallies almost ever. I would I would I don't wanna be you know Melodramatic and say ever, but I would say I've never seen students truly organize rallies.

Well, we watched UCLA being taken over by the LAPD. They waited for two hours, they did not disband. Finally, they were told to get out by eleven o'clock Eastern time, eight o'clock their time, and I think it was three thirty-four in the morning where they finally went in. There was a huge contingent of UCLA professors holding up a sign that says UCLA faculty stands with the students.

Well, there you go. They should be fired. Absolutely. And the same thing happened at CUNY. And at CUNY, my university, it's much worse.

The faculty members, the union, which is the same thing. When I say faculty, when I say union, same thing. Marxist organization, Marxist faculty members run the show there. They are actually coordinating the encampments with students. We have emails that we receive from private sources, from embedded sources we have, that show that these encampment student protests are coordinated and planned with Marxist faculty members.

So let me tell you, I want you to hear a little bit what the president said yesterday. Tell me if this helps. He was finally urged to come out saying you haven't said anything in 12 days. You had a casual conversation on Earth Day where you answered a question arbitrarily, cut one.

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.

So guess what? He's just running through a laundry list of things. How much would it help? Forget Democrat or Republican, to have some forceful leadership up top. It's everything.

I mean, he's talking about Islamophobia.

Now, I'm against Islamophobia. He went on to say Islamophobia and anti-Semitism are both abhorrent.

Okay, no kidding. Islamophobia has nothing to do with this. Right, exactly. Exactly.

So, what is he talking about? He has these talking points that are written for votes. He's looking at Michigan. Let's be honest. He's looking at Michigan.

He's looking at Pennsylvania, but really Michigan, right? That's what he's concerned about. Minnesota, too. Minnesota and Minnesota. Yeah, you're right.

You're right. Minnesota and Michigan. That's what he's looking at. That's what all he cares about.

So what he's losing is, and maybe if you've seen this, there's about one hundred thousand members of the students, college students in the Democratic Party. They have one organization. And they say right now we're committed to Joe Biden. We don't know if he doesn't come out strongly for the Palestinians. They don't know how much longer he's going to do it.

Are you relatively entertained by the fact that the left is fighting the left? Oh, God. And I would be if the consequences weren't so scary that he might actually capitulate. Because you know what scares me, Brian, is that these schools now are sending negotiators, which is the height of lunacy, to these encampments. And I believe it was NYU.

I'm sorry if I'm making a mistake on the school, but I believe it was NYU that agreed to eight out of 10 demands made by these legal violators, the encampment, you know, harassers, you know, destroying property, destruction of property violators. They agreed to eight out of 10 demands made by the NYU student encampment protesters. That is insane. Here's the University of Chicago making their demands. Listen to this, cut ten.

We demand That you Chicago repair the harm it has caused in Palestine. and beyond. This includes explicitly acknowledging such harm as well as implementing a community. Accountable program of reparation. More specifically, it includes one.

Recognizing Israel's genocide and scholasticide in Palestine. and supporting Burzai University's initiative to rebuild Gaz and Higher Education. Two. Citing the UN principles for responsible investment. Great.

Disbanding UCPD and directing redirecting funds to Southside community-based products. Four, allocated funds to annual rental assistance in local schools. Expanding employer assistance. Yeah.

Funding ramps for long-term affordable housing and halting expansion on the south side. Five, decarbonizing the endowment Reducing emissions by 50% by 2030 in line with the university's existing sustainability plan for campus emissions.

So let's get into green energy now. We're going to do. Can you believe this? If you're a student and you don't like the investment of the University of Chicago, go to another school. But instead, they're telling the University of Chicago, you better change, and you better also, they go on to admit some Palestinian students and professors.

Yeah, I mean, what they're doing is they're throwing in the salad of the progressive. I don't even want to say progressive, and they're not progressive. They really aren't. They're way, way left of progressive. Marxist is not progressive.

It's a whole different level. And we need to start acknowledging that the enemy of the real progressives in this country, who have, I may not be, you know. In their camp fully, but they have legitimate beliefs that maybe I disagree with some of them. But their enemy is not the Republicans, their enemy is these far leftists who are not represented. The Republicans don't even come up.

I mean, I'm listening to all these arguments. I've listened to dozens and dozens of students speaking out or activists speaking out. Nobody brings up Trump. No one brings up any Republicans. It's Joe Biden, genocide, Joe, and we better, Palestinians and Israel is evil.

But you made it clear today, and you've told me this in the past. Israel is not the issue. It's a stepping stone. They hate America. These people hate America.

Yeah, and let me tell you something else that you may not have heard before, and I've heard this many times being amongst these faculty members. They hate, and I really mean hate, Democrats. They hate Democrats, which probably shocks you. What do you mean? You might think they think Democrats, they don't like they didn't support, for example, my union at CUNY did not support Bill de Blasio.

They thought he was too moderate. What? Yes. This guy is as radical as he comes. Yeah, and they didn't support Governor Cuomo either when he ran.

They supported his opponent, Teach Out. They're not, they view themselves not as Democrats. Democrat is the camp they're in to get the push and the votes they need to do what they want to really accomplish. They're just using it. They hate Democrats.

They see Democrats, honestly, I'm not exaggerating, as bad as Republicans. They say that. I've seen their emails. They think Democrats are just as bad as Republicans. In many ways, I think Black Lives Matter was an opportunity.

George Floyd, what happened there is we understand all the complexities there, led to these racial riots in 2020. It seems to be the same people.

Now, the non-stop green activists who throw themselves at international conferences years ago during George Bush years, I'm thinking, what are they doing? Laying in the middle of the road for what? These are activists who said the whole world is going to burn up unless we get off fossil fuels. Then they go to Black Lives Matter.

Now they have, let's stake war on the Israelis. What do they want? They're just trying to get a wait for something big to happen and then flood the zone with activists. Yeah, what's the common theme of all the common theme is destroying America's infrastructure. Making everything fall apart, causing chaos.

Listen, one of their demands that they've put out there now, all these groups and on CUNY too, is to demilitarize every part of the U.S. military infrastructure down to the local police. They want them demilitarized. They want the CIA removed. They want the NYPD removed completely.

They want all intelligence removed. These are actual demands that they have. They want the destruction of the United States. But they're never going to get it.

Well, I hope not. I certainly hope not. But do you think it's time for the Department of Justice to get involved? I do. I mean, who's funding this?

You got the Rockefellers. We know they say Jeff Bezos put millions of dollars into these left-wing causes. They, of course, George Soros and his fund. They also have different endowments that are part of this. Do you think it's outside money, too?

Yes, RevCom, the revolutionary communists, Westpac, and there are a bunch of other communist groups that are absolutely funding this. It's a temporary alliance between two groups that really have nothing in common ideologically. Except the downing of America.

So right now there's a sick ad at your school at City College. 400 teachers have decided to call in sick through the union because they don't like the NYPD's presence at City College. Yeah.

Your reaction. Yeah, and that's exactly what I'm talking about. They demand that the NYPD be out of the college. They don't want the NYPD to exist at all. They don't want the military to exist at all.

They don't want any type of law enforcement to exist. We know that they're anti-law enforcement.

So Hughes Senator Tom Cotton said yesterday he was one of the people that went down to George Washington University, Cut 15. Democrats are always accusing Donald Trump of disobeying court orders or taking other authoritarian steps. And he didn't do any of that. But it's Joe Biden who, for instance, is disobeying Supreme Court orders, finding new ways to reward his would-be voters, trying to lock up his chief political opponent by weaponizing the legal system. And that means that some of these fanatics and pro-Hamas sympathizers and little gazes all across America could be eligible to get their student loans canceled that's why I've been It's breaking up a little bit.

I'm not sure. Just to just to talk about this a little bit more. He's saying That this issue, the President of the United States is so all over the place. In the beginning, it was Netanyahu, we got to go over there, we got to show unanimity. that we our allies blow him off on the visit, okay?

Then we have the President of the United States go sit down with the foreign and the Secretary of State come out and tell Netanyahu you're being too aggressive, too many civilian deaths, and it's time to pull back and talk ceasefire. But how can you possibly have a ceasefire when the people who perpetrated all this death and destruction are still in power in Gaza? Don't they realize that? You can't have it both ways. This never would have ever happened before in American history with any president of either party.

This is because of this, all started with the little tiny cute squad. Remember when everyone thought it was so cute? How stupid AOC was, and how cute this squad was? It's not so cute anymore because they're having real impact on decisions being made by mainstream parties. And until the Democrats extricate themselves from the squad, this is the kind of stuff that's going to happen, especially in election years.

If this was an election year, I don't believe he would be saying this. We have a couple more minutes. You're a lawyer. You're looking at this this this trial right now with Donald Trump downtown. How much merit's in this trial?

Nothing. I think it's the most horrible thing I've ever seen in my life. I think it's despicable. I do think there are a couple of suits out there that have merit against Trump. I don't think they're all great cases.

This one is a joke, it's a disgrace, and it's an insult to the legal system that I was taught in law school. What is the charge? First of all, as we know, it's banned by the statute of limitations in New York. I mean, it's absolutely a sham. What's being allowed to happen in New York?

It really is. There's no existent crime. They're trying to attach a federal crime to a New York State crime, which is absurd. I mean, it really is. It's hard to sum it up in one sense, but it's terrible.

So the payments that they say happened in 2015 was over. And infinites that happened in 2007, and now we're in 2024, and they're saying he colluded to fix an election. Yeah.

So on what basis they're saying that if it wasn't for these spi spike stories that people might have voted differently? But even if it is, even assuming all that is true, and they can prove the basis for his reasoning, even if they can do that, what is the penalty for that? It's usually a little fine. What they're doing to him is unheard of, and the timing of it should be suspicious. And the fact that he's gagged and not Michael Cohen is unbelievable.

I've never seen anything like that. But people have said, well, you can't gag Michael Cohen. He's just a witness. Your thoughts. But what's he saying, though?

What he's saying is prejudice. There are limits to what you can do to impact the trial. What does that show you about the judge? That he's not legitimate.

So why would he do something that's so obvious when he donated to Joe Biden's campaign? His daughter is a key consultant for people like Adam Schiff and other Democratic causes and may or may not have had a website having Donald Trump depicted in jail. We're still trying to get to the bottom of that. Why would a judge put himself through that? It makes me sad.

I'm shocked. I really am. I'm shocked. Totally shocked.

So when you say that if you're Donald Trump and you know that the New York jury pool that he got, they say the majority, I think 10 of the 12 jurors read the New York Times every day. The speed in which this was done, does he have hope for a fair trial? I I you never want to predict stuff like that, but one thing I could tell you is I can't imagine how this case was not moved to a different district. Staten Island, somewhere else, anywhere else. You read it.

Yeah.

So why do you think that Alvin Bragg was able to bootstrap something together to put this out and other people weren't? Did something happen? There was something in the paperwork that pushed this forward, or was it all just agenda-driven? It's like when Comey said no reasonable prosecutor would have prosecuted Hillary. It's the same kind of thing.

No reasonable prosecutor. Alvin Bragg is not a reasonable prosecutor. Alvin Bragg is a political hack. We know how he got there. We know the financing behind all this stuff.

It's a disgrace to this country. And I'm not saying that because of any political reasons. I would say this about any political party. I think what's happening is purely political. And why would you, for people listening around the country right now, describe the New York between crime and lack of punishment and what we're seeing here?

Yeah, in general, in terms of crime in New York, no one feels safe. I mean, I know people leaving left and right, and I've never seen anything like that before. People are constantly telling me they want to leave. They're scared. I know people that don't go into the city anymore.

They're scared to go into Manhattan. Never liked that in my lifetime.

So I think it's very palpable. They can play with statistics all they want. Every other day, they make it look better than it actually is, but we know that it's not safe. Final question: There's going to be the end of the semester in a couple of weeks in most of these colleges. What changes when we come back in the fall if this war subsides by then?

Wow.

So we're coming back in September, then there's the election after that. I think the lunatics are going to keep being lunatics because they're going to want to impact the election. But it's so hard to predict. I really don't know. Why would you stay at this school?

You just want to finish out your career, your plus 20 years. You're a chairman of a department? Yeah, I mean, I'm 50. I still have a little ways to go. Listen, I love teaching.

I really do. I love teaching. I love my department. I think I run a good department. I love the people that work for me.

And 60 people report to me and depend on me. And that means a lot to me. And building a good department that doesn't discriminate, that's open to all, that is diverse, that is based on merit, that is based on doing a good job is important to me. Right. And your department is?

Is the business department. You're in the business department, but yet your political beliefs, has it hurt your career? I really try, I don't know if it comes off that way. I try not to talk about politics. I really do.

I try to keep it to common sense. But you're in the paper and you're speaking here, so people know where you stand. They they probably can figure out, but uh, you know, I try not to talk about Pol I try to say things because, listen, I've said things against Trump. I I have. When he's done something wrong, you say it.

I say it. Jeff Flax, thanks so much. Best of luck, and hope you survive this campus environment. Thanks for exposing it. Back in a moment.

Thank you. It's Brian Killmead. The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead.

You know, Charlie, congratulations, by the way. You are the first female UFC Octagon announcer. Octagon announcer. Yes, thank you. Good for you.

Can I point something out? Oh, sure. Steeler moment, Brian. I was the first. Oh.

He was. Yeah.

He was. I was the first to walk in the octagon and explain it on UFC. Wow.

Yes. You can So, this is history. On behalf of Brian Kill Me, Charlie, I would like to apologize to you for him stealing your thunder. I know, I'm feeling a little slighted, but you know, because it's you, I mean all of that. You say weird.

You didn't trash the whole show off. That's amazing. You won't let it go, will you, Brian? She couldn't just have that moment to herself. It's amazing.

So that was, why did I do that show again? But it's totally true, you know. No, I know, it's totally true. And I was laughing so hard at that because I knew exactly what you meant, but it's so unlike, you know, like, look at me. Like, that's not what you ever do.

Right. You were laughing. I thought it was ironic. I agree. I mean, the first woman, and I'm the first ever, which makes me more important.

No, she's a woman, so therefore, she's more important. No, that's true. No, I totally agree with you. It's because she was the first woman who you need to highlight it. But soon we'll have Dana White on.

Hopefully, yes. Yes, we're supposed to catch up with him in a very big event. I'm not going to give it away because I don't want any company. That means Eric. Eric cannot go.

And maybe we'll invite Charlie over, too. That'll be good. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show. Brian. In Kill Mead.

Hi, boy, welcome to the latest moments of the Brand Kill Meet Show. What a week we've had, and we're not stopping now. We're following the police dispersing all the encampments over at. NYU. George Washington University basically in a holding pattern.

We're still watching George Washington's statue being looks like it's being held hostage. The President of the United States speaking again this morning as he led up to his trial. We're at day number 11. And we'll talk about that, the White House reaction and more. John Rich at the bottom of the hour, he's got a big salute to those North Carolina students who came back, put the American flag up, took the Palestinian flag down, then sang the national anthem.

He's got a big tribute for them. By the way, that group or that fraternity, when it goes with their GoFundMe page, is over $500,000. With me now, who is in the courtroom and stepped out just to talk to us, to give us an update on day 11, is Kerry Kupak-Urban. And Kerry is our legal analyst who's been there every step of the way from the Justice Department under William Barr, Chief of Staff there. Kerry, what is day 11 showing us?

Yes, not much yet. We're hearing a lot about chain of custody issues with Michael Cohen's cell phones.

Now we're hearing from a paralegal who is talking about her job in extracting Donald Trump's social media posts and how that will play into the case. But I have to tell you, Brian, yesterday was pretty interesting hearing from Keith Davidson, who is the lawyer for Karen McSugel and Stormy Daniels. And he said a number of notable things. One, that he never had any interaction with Trump himself. Two, Michael Cohen never communicated to him whether he even had authority to pay off Stormy Daniels and it left a a big question mark whether Cohen was just operating on his own and if Trump knew anything about this at all.

Very interesting. And also, it found out, too, that he's had other people that, in my words, extort it. Charlie Sheen and Cole Cogan. Could you explain that and why that's important? Yeah, so the defense really pushed this line of questioning with Keith Davidson.

They brought up a pattern, an alleged pattern, they say, of him squeezing. high profile people, celebrities in vulnerable moments for money. They were implying he's extorted them.

Now he's never been formally charged with that. But they went through a number of people, some of whom you listed, Hulk Hogan, Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan. And they said that this is, and the implication being this is what he did with Donald Trump as well in the lead up to the election. Stormy Daniels saw an opportunity to make some money off of Trump. And they went after him for it.

Now Davidson would probably deny that.

However, interestingly, Michael Avenatti later tweeted from prison yesterday afternoon and said that's exactly what Stormy Daniels and Keith Davidson did to Donald Trump because Stormy Daniels told me yourself.

So, does that matter? I know it's interesting for our conversation. Does it matter for the case? It definitely matters because it goes to the heart of motives. Why did Donald Trump pay off Stormy Daniels.

The state is trying to argue that it was some kind of unlawful way of promoting himself as a candidate. Of course, that still is unclear as to how it's even unlawful. And my guess is they're trying to reconstruct it into some kind of illegal, unreported campaign contribution to himself. But if it's true that, in fact, Davidson has a history of squeezing people for money when he knows they're likely to give it to him, it would go less to Trump trying to help himself. win the election and more to the fact that he was a victim of extortion like a number of other celebrities.

But do you think it's also important to bring up the context, what was happening in the fall? The President is starting to recover from the access Hollywood tape. It was devastating behind the scenes. We still don't know who released it, NBC, him talking to Billy Bush. And it comes out to the point where he almost lost half his staff, Kerry.

As you know, Reince Prepas and others said, why don't you just pull out? And he's starting to rehab. He's starting to rebound. And then they say to themselves, Hey, we got to handle some other things that could be coming down the pike. Is that what the prosecution's saying?

In part, They're saying that this payment goes to the heart of this alleged crime. Again, it's unclear, but we have to go back to what the crime is they've charged them with: falsifying business records. The state says that when. Donald Trump's bookkeeper classified the payments to Michael Cohen. Who in turn paid Stormy Daniels when that was classified as a quote legal expense and retainer, that was a lie.

They would have preferred for him to say reimbursement to Michael Cohen for Stormy Daniels. And now, if it sounds like they're quibbling over words, they are, because interestingly, Keith Davidson, again, the attorney for Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels. He refused to call a hush money payment on the stand yesterday. He called it consideration, which is a fancy legal term for when something of value is exchanged in a promise to abide by a contract. Another way of putting that, Brian, is a legal expense.

So now you have the very lawyer who negotiated with Trump's personal lawyer over this compensation for an NDA for Stormy Daniels, which is not illegal. Also, effectively calling it a legal expense.

So, where's the case?

So interesting because he didn't have to say that. He could have just went and let the people go with the verbiage they gave it to him. That's right, and he refused to. Why do you think we don't know yet? We don't know anything about him, right?

Well, I think it's because, again, he has a history of doing this. You know, he doesn't want to call things hotch money. It seems sleazy. And the reality is, you know. Payment for a non-disclosure agreement is perfectly legal.

It's kind of what he does for a living.

So he's trying to keep it on the up and up and say, look, it's. You know, compensation for a contract. This happens all the time. That's all this is. Um which is why I think Even though the state, I think, was hoping that he would help their case, I think he helped Donald Trump's case more than anything else.

Kerry Krupak-Orbana is with us, Kerry.

So now, the other thing that popped up yesterday. I think that he revealed that Michael Cohen, despite his denials, was apoplectic and almost suicidal that he was not brought to Washington, D.C. That he couldn't believe. He talked to him for over an hour. I cannot believe after everything I've done for him that he would not bring me to Washington.

Why is that important for the case? Yeah, you should have been in the courtroom when we all had to listen to that recording. It was quite something. Michael Cohen was talking about himself in a third person, saying, no one cares about Michael. It was a pretty immature way of.

Talking about things for a grown man. And apparently, he was distraught that Trump was not bringing him to Washington because he wanted to be, and brace yourself, attorney general or White House chief of staff. And then when he realized that wasn't happening, he was complaining to Davidson. And the reason that's important is, again, it goes to the heart of the case, which is why was Trump doing this in the first place? Was it purely like using Cohen to help himself with the campaign?

Or was Cohen looking at Donald Trump as an opportunity, just like Davidson and Stormy Daniels were for money? Was Cohen looking at him as a way to get power and go to Washington?

So the recording, the voice recording that came out, where Donald Trump said, okay, we're going to need to take care of our friend Pete. I think he said, or David, I forgot what he said, but our friend. Yeah, David.

Okay. He said, we have to take care of our friend David.

Well, we've got to get some financing. And he said, financing, I'll pay cash. Describe what that means for the case. Right, and then he said maybe a check, but the problem with that recording, and this is something the defense went at yesterday, is that it cut off right after that.

So we don't have any more context. It seems that they were discussing the payment to either McDougal or Daniels, which again, not a legal it you know, if he p he's paying for something personally, uh, through his personal attorney, It's not illegal to suppress a bad story. It's not a crime to pay someone for a nondisclosure agreement. But the recording cut off, so we don't actually know what the discussion was after that or what happened.

So When the defense said that, I mean, what does it do for the evidence when the defense comes out? You've got to be kidding me. What happens next? How could the prosecution selectively edit? I don't know the rule.

I don't really know the answer to this. When you go selectively edit an excerpt and you're the defense, you listen to it for the first time, you say, Why did it end like that? Then what happens? Do you say, I need to see the recording? Do you get it?

Well, what they what? The defense was saying really that what the p the what they were presenting to the jury after that recording was. You know, we don't know what happened.

So it's I don't know if that if the rest of the recording even exists anymore. And you know, this is why The a per an IT person was on the stand for a long time yesterday and even this morning, where they were questioning him about chain of custody of Michael Cohen's phones and how does one record things on phones. You know, the defense is poking holes in um The possibility that this was not an entire recording, that there was stuff missing, that things could have been extracted, that Cohen himself could have deleted things. Think we'll ever know, but again, the standard, Brian, in this case is beyond a reasonable doubt.

So if they're presenting that recording to prove something illegal, I You know, these holes raise question marks, or they would normally raise question marks in a juror's mind if they're not getting that they're not getting the whole story. And that's part of the thing: if you're a defense attorney, you're taking notes the whole time. This is going to be in your summation. They didn't prove this, they didn't show that. They did they were contradictory here.

And the whole thing is, what is you know, what did he do wrong? I'm watching these twelve person panels on other channels, and I'm saying to myself, we have one there's one person who who would just look at this from a dispassionate point of view, like you, and they're saying, I'm still going back to the point, is. The fact that it's a porn star is a distraction. These are just these are stories that they wanted to go away, which happens every day in politics. Could be something less sexy, could be business, could be a could be a sibling that's angry at you.

You don't need that person going out calling you know, obviously Mary Trump is an example. Let's say Mary Trump feels as though her father didn't get any getting the inheritance he deserves.

So she's ranning on a daily basis. And before she did that, if she went up to Trump and said, listen, I know you run for President, but if you don't pay me, I'm going to be your biggest nightmare. And if he wrote a check to her, is that illegal? No, it's not. And at this point, I'm convinced the state's strategy is obscure, obscure, obscure.

What they seem to be trying to do is convince the jury that dirty equals illegal, but it doesn't. We're in a court of law. There needs to be a crime described, elements proved beyond a reasonable doubt. And thus far, the state has not presented. Evidence of a crime.

And another, and here's what's interesting, Brian. You know, they seem to. be honing in on this of uh this vague New York state law that says it is a misdemeanor. For two or more people to conspire to promote a candidate via unlawful means.

Well, If this is a conspiracy case, which In opening arguments, it seemed that that's what they were pushing. This is a big conspiracy.

Well, then, why has no one else be charged? Donald Trump can't conspire with himself. You need two or more people in order to bring a conspiracy theory. Didn't they do that? What about Michael Cohen?

He's not charged in this case as a c as a conspirator. No one charged. And so, you know, that's another question mark here. And of course, then, and then, of course, going to the other aspect of that law, which is by unlawful means. They still have not identified what those alma means.

actually were.

So there's a big story. I mean, who else can we expect today? I know you don't have a full day, right? What time do you guys stop? 3:45, just a little bit earlier than usual.

That's only that's about 45 minutes earlier than it normally goes. Are you expecting anybody besides this forensic? Cyber guy? Yeah, so right now so he's finished and right now there's this pa there's a paralegal. Anastana works for the DA's office, who's talking about her role in extracting social media posts.

The reason they have some of these people on the stand like this power legal is just to establish You know, the validity of post, how you know, how it's brought into evidence. It's just a very procedural by the book. Way of doing things that prosecutors must do. I would be surprised if she is on the stand all day today.

So I would. suspect we'll get another witness, but who that is, I don't know.

So, Kerry, you know President Trump pretty well, and you know he's got a temper. Number one, I keep hearing reports that he's unhappy with his lawyers. From what you hear, from what you know. And do you think he might make a change? And what would that mean if he did?

You know, I think Todd Lamp is doing a good job and You know, Donald Trump, I I think has hi has a record of being unhappy with his lawyers. In general, so I'm not quite sure if there's anyone that could please him. But yeah, of course it would change. You want continuity, and again, Blanche, I think, is doing the best that he can. He's making arguments.

And look, another thing that we don't know, Brian, is the client does have a say in how this is presented. And so there may be things that Todd Blanche thinks would be a better way of going about it, but Donald Trump doesn't for his own personal reasons.

So, you know, there's stuff that we don't know, and people could say, well, why isn't Todd? arguing this or doing that, and it it really could be because Trump doesn't want them to. My hope is, and some of the lawyers that have left the fray have said that Boris Epstein is somebody the President really trusts. He's close to him. He tries to run the case, but he's never tried a case.

This is not his area's expertise. Do you think his hands are in this? I don't know. But Todd Blanche is a respected lawyer from everything I've read and heard in New York City. I've talked to him myself.

I was impressed with his ability. And so again, I think he's doing the best that he can do with a Democrat judge, a mostly Democrat jury. and a case that shouldn't even be going on. I agree. And you you don't get up every day as a Trump apologist.

You're you're calling the shots. And if he has a bad day, you've been saying this is not a good day. But in the big picture, from what we know now on day eleven, how long do you expect this to go? I've heard that the state has as many as twenty witnesses. Originally, there was talk that this could wrap before Memorial Day, but given some of the scheduling questions that have come up with the judge, it seems like it could go into mid June.

I do think though that the witnesses thus far in many ways have been more helpful to Donald Trump. than to the state's case. And that makes sense, Brian, because They are searching. I think for a crime as they go along, the fact that they still have not concretely identified exactly what Donald Trump did wrong, you know, with the requisite elements, is a real concern. And so it doesn't surprise me that these witnesses are providing testimony that in fact helps Trump given that there doesn't appear to have been a crime committed.

I understand right now on the stand, because you came out to talk to us, Trump team begins cross-examining Longstreet. Yes, the paralegal. The paralegal. For what what would be the what did the paralegal bring to this case? She was the one responsible for pulling some of Donald Trump's social media posts offline as part of the case.

So they're probably just questioning her about the the various posts and her role in that. And their effort is to try to get the access Hollywood tape to be aired? Yeah, but they're not going to. The judge has been very clear about that. They're not going to it would be very prejudicial to Trump.

Plus, it has nothing to do with the actual case at hand here. And so the judge was right in ruling that that can't be aired. But they're still trying, aren't they? Yeah, you know, it it's it comes up regularly and every time the judge says no. Fascinating.

In a weird way. And I talk to people dispassionately who just love the law, and just this never should have been brought. It's a joke. It's crazy. And you know, and and think about the big picture here too.

You know, this isn't just any person. The fact that the state does not have an airtight case for the former President of the United States, with charges that carry jail time. is is disturbing. It really is. Like they're willing to put the former President of the United States in prison.

Over Yeah. Labeling a legal expense something that they wished he had said otherwise, which, I mean, think about that for a second. It's Outrageous. And by your old boss, who they're kind of at war with each other, says this case shouldn't be brought either. I'm talking about Bill Barr.

Yeah, because it's a travesty. Yeah, Kerry, thanks so much. He came out for us. We really appreciate it. Thank you.

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

He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Killmeid. Just so latest on the trial, we just have heard that Hope Hicks is going to be called to testify next after this forensic cyber guy is up there talking about how Michael Cohen got these tapes and why they were cut off when they were cut off. Carrie Kopek Urban, I want to move along with her because I couldn't believe how much information I was getting. It was my bad.

I made that block way too long, but this is going to be way too short. But just to tell you, Hope Picks will be next. And that's going to be interesting because Hope was with him when he was doing The Apprentice. And then she just was so great at her job. She stuck on as his communications director.

And when Donald Trump really had a staff of maybe four, She was doing everything. You've never seen anybody better under pressure. It's unbelievable how good she was. And I see it because I used to do sports. And when you just go down, you go to the Yankee PR person, every time the Yankees are in a scandal, the Mets have a problem, or you go out there, the Dodgers have an issue, they fire their manager, you see these PR people get all hot and bothered.

No matter what happened with Donald Trump, no matter what unorthodox thing she said, she would have no problem with it. And everything that she promised, she would do.

So I'm very curious. They think she's going to turn on him. I doubt it. Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kill Me Show.

Welcome back, everybody. Just keeping you up to date in the courts. Everyone's making a big deal of it because there's a hug profile witness going to come up. And it's going to be interesting to see if Ho picks and what she says on the stand about those days with Stormy Daniels and everything else leading up to after they won the election, leading up to the election, and the role of Michael Cohen and what the president knowing didn't know. Because my sense is: just remember, you hear it here first.

I don't think this is going to go against the president. And even after she swears on a stack of Bibles and says you ought to tell the truth. My view, it's not going to be bad. I think she's as loyal as it is, but just by telling the true story, Michael Cohen was a wild man. He was doing a lot of his own things, and that's going to come out today.

And Hope Hicks was the one who was cool, calm and collecting and was able to bridge a lot of the the craziness and was able to siphon a lot of the strain, a lot of that out, so the president didn't uh was uh didn't have to suffer idiots. Joining me now is John Ritz, singer, songwriter, and host of The Pursuit. He would do the. which is on Fox Nation, Wildly Successful, which is the the story of everyone's pursuit of happiness and pursuit of greatness and their journey to get it. But John, you knew the President, President Trump.

You got to know him really for the first time as in The Apprentice, right? You, Brian, good to be with you. That's the first time I was around him. And I remember being on an elevator with him and Melania. We were headed down to somewhere, and the elevator attendant, Trump, put his hand on his shoulder and he says, Do you like working here?

And the guy said, Yes, sir, Mr. Trump. Are people treating you nice? Yes, sir, Mr. Trump.

He goes, Well, you're doing a great job. And he stuck a $100 bill in his pocket and walked out the elevator. You know, that's what I know about him. He cares about people. what we're watching him go through right now is absolutely horrible.

It is. And if you have legal experts that don't have a horse in this race and don't talk politics, everybody thinks the case is a joke. But unfortunately, it's going to take seven, eight weeks of his time. He's trying to make the most of it. And the good news for him is the more Joe Biden campaigns, the worse he does.

John, the other thing is, just to add to your story, when we go to speak, I'm going to speak twice in Atlantic City with Harry Hurley's organization, and that Donald Trump used to own that place. And a lot of these waiters are in their 40s and 50s. And they all have stories, one interesting story after another, how Donald Trump took a personal interest in them when he owned it, before he ever thought about politics. You know, my kid had a problem. He knows about what do you follow up with him, find out what the kid did in the hospital, or a big confirmation, or a graduation, or admission.

So all those personal stories come up. They don't like to tell those stories. But those stories used to come out all the time before he became a Republican. But John, your sense of what's going on in this country right now, forty four campuses, maybe more, in twenty six states, this wild unrest, and then we'll talk about what you're doing. Yes.

Well, I think as I've been looking at it, I thought, well, how do they have how do these students have the nerve to walk out there and say death to Israel and death to the Jews? And that is what a lot of them are saying. And I thought, where did this come from? Because they've never had that nerve before. And then you think back about the Ivy League college deans that went before Congress.

And I remember the answer when Stefanik asked her. Doesn't this break the rules of harassment? And the dean said, well, not unless it's actionable.

So meaning you can say death to the Jews, that's okay, as long as you don't kill one of them.

So, I guess you got to go kill one of them, and then you're in trouble.

So, the ridiculousness of that and dangerous. Dangerous precedent that that set, I think, led to what you're seeing right now. On top of that, none of this was happening under Trump. As we all know, Trump was doing the Abraham Accords, we had peace. Rolling through the Middle East, and nobody was invading anybody over there.

And now you've got Biden in there, and the whole world knows they can get away with literally murder if they want to. You add all those things up, man, and you're seeing what's happening on these campuses. It's a horrible, horrible thing to see going on in our own country. Right. I think what they're not anticipating is the pushback because some of these students are standing up and saying, listen, this is not we know about half of them are activists.

They have no business being on those campuses. Just judging by the arrests so far, we're seeing that at Columbia. We're seeing it at NYU. We're seeing it at UCLA. I want you to hear one UNC student, Jewish, talk about what she's experienced, cut three.

Yeah, I mean, there were water bottles flying everywhere. I think they were like chicken broth balloons. People have smelled like chicken broth for a long time. Yeah, so I definitely got water thrown at me and sprayed at me. I know a couple of kids had rocks and sticks thrown at them.

One of my friends got hit with a water bottle on the face and had like a gash under his eye. I didn't get hurt with anything, but I definitely had projectiles thrown at me many times. She went on to say this: cut four. I got spit at, yelled at. They were trying to take my picture.

They're definitely trying to intimidate us, get us to leave. They've posted signs: we'll leave when the Israelis leave. We'll leave when the Israelis go back to their real homes, the U.S., Europe, the places that systematically have murdered us in the past. It's very clear that we're not wanted on campus, and I personally feel like my safety has been compromised. So that is a little of the color on UNC, but there's been massive pushback.

First off, your reaction to this.

Well, listen, I think this is going to have a very unintended consequence that these protesters never really contemplated. And that consequence will be that the young people of this country are now realizing the real threat that we have in this country and by proxy to their own futures that they're hoping to have for themselves in this great country. And I think you're going to see a tidal wave of patriotism and pro American sentiment rise up on these universities. All across America. I hate seeing what we're seeing, but Brian, sometimes people have to see it in real time to understand that it truly exists.

So we saw those students in North Carolina at Chapel Hill just the day after the cops came in and cleared out the encampment. They ended up putting the American flag back and singing the national anthem. People were so moved by this fraternity, they opened up a GoFundMe page in their name, and they've raised over $500,000 for them to go have a party. And they don't have access to it yet. They're kind of overwhelmed.

Here's one of those students, Isaac Millai, last night with Laura Kudate.

So, initially, there was no protection of the Israeli flag. We just wanted the Jewish students on campus to have their voice heard. Very much like I'm here today to have my voice heard. We wanted that to be on campus as well. When the American flag became, I guess, endangered the word you can use, when we saw that it started to be lowered and when it began to be ripped off, especially on a day where four officers were shot and killed less than two hours away from campus, right?

We have a flag that's hanging at half mass because those that commit their lives to serve our country and to serve our states are being shot down and killed. That's the flag you're going to rip down. Absolutely not, not on that day. And so I'm honestly very proud of our administration because they shut it down immediately, and I'm very thankful for that.

So you heard some of that sentiment, you watched it, and what have you decided to do?

Well, I was so proud of those guys for Standing up and not letting that flag touch the ground. I reached out to them. I just went on Twitter and said, Hey, I don't know how to find you guys, but when you have this party that you're wanting to have, I'll come play for free. And I'll bring my friends with me.

So let me know. And we've started a dialogue. We're now looking at dates to go there and we're going to call it Flagstock, which I think is the perfect name, and have just a massive celebration of freedom. For all the flag lovers and supporters of America to all get together. You know, Brian, you're a history buff, and that's one thing you and I have in common.

We love history. And when I saw the pictures of those college boys not allowing the flag to touch the ground. it reminded me of when Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner in eighteen fourteen as the British were bombing at Fort McHenry and the flag was still there, as the song says, the only reason the flag was still there, as you know, is because of the bodies of dead Americans that had been piled up against it as they were getting killed. Inside that fort. They just kept pushing the bodies up against it.

They would not let the flag fall. And I watched those young men keep that flag from touching the ground. And I thought, you know what? That is tapping into the original fire and liberty fire that our founders had and that the Patriots have always had in this country. And it gave me a lot of hope.

That's why I reached out and said, guys, whatever I can do for you, I'm on call. And you think you're going to be able to put together some bands, find a venue, and then let the patriotic students find you? One hundred percent. We're working on it right now. I had a message from the President of Bikers for Trump for North Carolina, and he said, John, you better book a big venue because we're all coming.

So I think this could turn into 20, 30,000 people potentially at the end of the day. Artists are calling me. all day yesterday and even this morning getting emails and text, hey, when you get that date, let me know. I I'd like to be there. Lee Greenwood hit me up.

He said, you think they'd want to hear God bless the USA at that event at Flagstock? I said, I'm pretty sure Lee, they would want to hear that.

So he's in. This is a moment where Americans can all come together and go, okay, we've had enough. Have your little protest with 200 of you. Here's 20,000 of us standing right over here saying quite the opposite. That is the optic that needs to happen all across this country.

And a special admission or a special placement for the students because they are upset, a lot of them, that their generation is being represented, they think inaccurately, because that's not how they feel. And that would be great if you get this next generation. I don't care if they're Democrat or Republicans who they're voting for. Are you for the country? And not just the ones in the military.

We got that. They've already shown themselves.

So listen to this arrest in Colombia out of the 112 arrested. 32 We're not 32 had nothing to do with the school. At a city college, they arrested 170. 102 had nothing to do with the school. This goes down and down.

Over half these people have nothing to do with the school. These are professional activists. Whether it's a racial situation with Black Lives Matter, or whether it's a carbon footprint with the new Green Deal, they're just picking an issue. They don't care about the Palestinians. They don't care about the earth.

You know, they don't care about race relations, and I wouldn't doubt that at the base of this is Russia and China and Iran.

Well, I think George Soros may have an Amazon account because if you look at all the tents That got set up in all these universities overnight, they're matching tents, Brian. They're all identical tents.

So I just pictured George Soros sitting in the background with his Amex card, hitting the button, going, I need to order 800 tents. Yeah, just get the same one. I mean, it's so, thank goodness it is so transparent at this point. Americans are starting to see it. And I totally agree with your point.

Whether you're a Democrat or Republican, if you love your country, this cannot allow, cannot stand any further. And I think people are starting to realize, man, that the threat to the country is real. It is not hyperbole. It is not some kind of conspiracy theory. There are people in this country that want to destroy it.

And they don't care if you're a Democrat, Republican or otherwise. And I think that's why you're seeing Trump's poll numbers go up. And I think that's why, hopefully, we have a big change come November. It's really interesting because for the longest time, Pete Hagseth writes a book and he talks about what's happening in our schools, and he's bringing his kids to Christian academies. And then Dannis Prager says things like that.

You know, we've got to guys look out. They're taking history out of the schools. You should look out for this. And people bring it up and they say, okay, those are conservatives that are concerned that they want things to go back to the 1950s, and they would almost be dismissive. That we like the conservatives are afraid to use electricity or the internet.

That's nothing to do with it. If you can start fundamentally. That we all love the country, we just have a different idea of tax forms, a different idea of health insurance, a different idea of how big the military should be. Those are the old debates. But the debate has begun to change, and it's no longer a niche, it's no longer a special guest.

Now, I think 85 to 90 percent of the country are going to have a conversation this weekend going, what the hell is going on on our campuses? I think so too. And by the way, these big these big universities that Allow these students to scream death to Israel and keep Jewish students from getting to their classrooms. What would they do, Brian, if the KKK was standing out there not letting Jewish students get to their classroom and screaming death to Israel? What would they do if a bunch of skinhead neo Nazi armband wearing thugs were standing out there doing it?

Hey, let's go a little bit further. What would they do if If just regular people showed up and you didn't know what their affiliation was and they started doing it, they would kick you out of there so fast it'd make your head spin. But because they're on the side of what Hamas has done, they're going to allow it to happen.

So what does that tell you about where the university leadership really lands? Where are their loyalties? That is a scary, scary notion. And you know what? This has been going on for generations, man.

This didn't just happen overnight. They have brainwashed. Generations of Americans. And I am glad. I hate to see it happen, but I'm glad it's happening where people can finally see it in the wide open and identify what we're dealing with.

Yeah, I think it's great, John. And every time something happens, you always get ahead of the field. And I think this is another example of that. Congratulations, they're smart. I've loved your show, The Pursuit with John Rich, returns to a Fox Business Primetime.

It'll start this Saturday at May 4th. Tune in from 8 to 10, and we'll repeat again from 10 to 12. Episodes are always available and accessible at Fox Nation. And, John, if people what should we, where should we look for to see how this is developing in terms of dates and times and things?

Okay. So you can follow me. I still call it Twitter. You can follow me on Twitter at John Rich, True Social at John Rich. The second we have a date picked out, I will be going to those platforms and announcing it to everyone.

This is going to be big. And like I said, I hope Flagstock I hope they have flag stocks all over the country. I hope every university picks that up and runs with it and does pro-America events leading all the way up to the election and beyond. I just wish I had some type of musical talent where I can contribute. But I played the clarinet until ninth grade.

Does that have any place in country music? No, but I'm all for it, man. Surely you can play da da da da da da da. You can do a little save horse ride a cowboy on the clarinet. We take it.

I'm going to try to do that, but you know, it's unforgivable, those Woodwind instruments. Once your mouth is out of shape, it's out of shape. You got to get that omboucher back. You talk plenty, man. I'm sure your embouchure is still there.

We'll work on that. Allison, I'm going to sing in the breaks, okay? And you tell me what I got. Hey, John, you're doing a great thing.

So follow John Rich on X and find out the latest. It's going to be huge. John, thank you. Congratulations. I can't wait to watch The Pursuit.

Thanks, man. Always good to talk to you. Got it. Back in a moment. Coming to you on a need-to-know basis, because man, do you need to know?

It's Brian Kilmead. From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmead. Hey, you know, you've got to row your own boat. I'm not going to teach kids. I'm not going to do it for you, and you're not going to want me to do it for you.

You've got to figure out how to find out what's wanted and needed and where that intersects with your love and passion and what you can do. And even if it doesn't, you might have to do that anyway.

So, Jeff Goldblum became a dad late in life. He's got two kids, I think, eight and nine years old. And that was him talking, you know, the famous actor. And he said, I will not ruin my kids' lives by telling them they're going to be rich and saying, I'm going to leave you my money. You have to row your own boat.

You've got to make your own way. And a lot of the things you find out along the way makes you appreciate the money you have. And he almost feels like he's ruining their lives if he tells them they're going to have money. What are your thoughts on that? I think that's a good way to go.

My mom would always love to like, you're not entitled to inheritance. Like, none of this is yours, right? Like, and it's the only person who's legally entitled to it is a spouse, FYI. But I think it's good. Kids shouldn't think they're gonna necessarily get everything or be frank with them.

Like, yes, if you work hard and do everything. you will get this house, but if you mess up, nope. That's true, too. I mean, it's not an easy answer, and there's no wrong answer. But I will say, some of the most unsavory things I have seen.

is when people are near death. and they have some money, even if it's house to, you know, house usually a million dollars, let's say. the wrestling that goes on between siblings. Especially if they're paycheck to paycheck siblings and the bitterness that comes out in death. and how people handle it and who they leave in a will.

I have seen more bitterness. trying to pick off the the what's left of the estate. There may be anything in life. Have you noticed that? No, actually, that's one of my questions to like everyone, because I've yet to get a good answer.

It's actually if you have money or you have no money. What is the right way to leave your estate? Like, do you tell your kids or whomever what they're going to get ahead of time? Do you not have to do that?

Well, you're married to an accountant.

So he has a million different scenarios probably. Does he do that? He doesn't really do the will stuff. I mean, because that's different, but it's talk to different attorneys or just talk to any friends and ask them about someone's inheritance. With me, it's who's nicest to me.

Kirsten, Caitlin O'Brien. And it's, I score it every day.

So they all say you're a score.

So, yeah, so go through my paperwork before you award my money. Will do.
