Biden breaks with Israel over Rafah operation, Israel vows to proceed

From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kill Meet Show. We have a lot to discuss today, a lot of moving parts already.

I'm looking at the University of Chicago rallying, trying to protect the encampments. Cops are on the scene trying to rip it up, and faculty has joined in. Incredible, what we're witnessing. By the way, if you ever missed the show, you can get the Fox News app. And listen, if you have to leave our family of affiliates, also, if you ever want to get the podcast, wherever you get the podcast, they make this show a podcast.

That's great. You don't never have to miss it. This hour going to be joined by Democrat Republican strategist Garrett Ventry. Lieutenant Colonel Alan Westad of Texas. How does he feel about the University of Texas, Austin, the encampments there?

And how would he take down Rafa?

So let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. What I can only reiterate is that. We've been consistent, and the President was consistent again this morning, that we don't support ground operations in Rafah. Incredible.

That's an American. John Kirby talking about not supporting our greatest ally, going into Rafah. That's what the Israel knows it has to do to find the hostages and wipe out the last four battalions of Hamas fighters, terrorists, and stop prolonging the pain and end the protest. We'll bring you the latest ceasefire talks and the final military operation. Number two.

Democrats are in a very tough position now. They're stuck between their dream of finally seeing Trump behind bars and now the nightmare that he's going to become some sort of civil rights martyr when he gets put in there. But it's probably the most likely chance that they'll see him behind bars based on the prosecution's presentation so far. Yeah, right, Katie Tchaikovsky. Trump trial, week four, and suddenly jail time is on the table as Trump seems to be violating the gag order that's put on him.

This has his COO takes the stand and tried and linked and they try to link Trump to payments from Daniels and McDougal and the countdown to the disgraced attorney Michael Cohen. That'll happen. But first, today it's all about Stormy Daniels. Number one. This is the way you do things.

You go in and you protest, you go and destroy whatever you want. It is, and then everybody goes, Okay, okay, okay, okay, we'll give whatever you want. Brown University said we're going to give in to the terrorism on our campus. This only empowers and emboldens the troubled ones. And Rutgers, too, and many more.

Rabbi Mence, Campus Chaos, and the Met Gala Mayhem dominate the headlines as a crackdown on encampments and decisions on college commitments are front and center. Columbia has canceled theirs. This is an overstressed NYPD, which is at the really fulcrum of all this: searches for relief, mandatory overtime, stretched out forces. Think about what New York's got to do. They got to worry about the Trump trial.

They got to follow him from the Trump Tower to the courtroom every day. You never know when some lunatic's going to light himself on fire. You saw that happen. Or somebody's going to decide: hey, I've had it with Donald Trump or I had it with the persecution of Donald Trump.

So you got to worry about that.

Now they have the Met Gala, where all the rich of the rich, the famous, go in and they listen to opera, I guess, and they dress up in extremely expensive costumes and get tickets for hundreds of thousands of dollars their sponsors pays for. At that time the protesters, as expected, centred in on them. And guess what? They were blocked by the NYPD, who tried to keep them away, while being serenaded with pigs, pigs, pig, and KKK. Why is that allowed?

That's not hate speech. It's just sickening to think you can make $45,000 to maybe $60,000 a year. You make your commute into the city, which is costly. Then you have to deal with everything else you got to deal with, with the crime and with the derision and with not being supported, and no bail laws, people you arrest get out. And then you go to break up a protest of these lunatic kids who never lifted a weight or put the Xbox down until someone probably paid them to protest.

Uh against Israel and the IDF and against anybody Jewish. And now they're big, tough guys and ladies, mostly uh I think trans f fluid people who refuse to show their face in their pride. They wear masks as if Anthony Fauci is their father, and they walk around the streets creating chaos. It is nuts. And what's crazier, the President will speak today at the Holocaust Memorial.

At the Holocaust Museum, that's fine. No kidding. You do it anyway. But you waited a week to say nothing. Last week.

Instead, you have instead of taking charge and saying what the camp what should be happening on campuses, leaning on these presidents to crack down, letting them know at the University of Chicago this is not okay, telling the faculty, if you keep this up, I'm going to make sure you're fired, you don't get that from this President. You get equivocation, splitting the difference, straddling the line. Unlike Donald Trump. When he found out graduation was canceled, even though he's going in for a trial, he said this: got one. Columbia University, they announced today they're not going to have their graduation.

They're not going to have a ceremony. And that's happening all over the country. Our country is a mess. And the most important day in the history of our country is going to be November 5th of this year. That's called Election Day.

It's going to be the most important day in the history of our country. And what does he say about the war? He says this: get it done quickly. Doesn't want the killing, got it. But after you killed 1,200 people in cold blood?

many of which was sympathetic to your cause. You have to go in and you got to rat uh uh you got to uh get rid of Hamas.

So they're down to four battalions in Rafah. But because President Biden realizes poll numbers are dropping, he's been holding the Prime Minister back. And now he's holding back offensive weapons from Israel. Does he understand that the longer you lengthen this out, the longer the protests will be? They're not going to stop.

This is Israel's existence. Yeah, we are their number one benefactor, and we get a lot out of that relationship too. But this is their survival. What doesn't he get? He this is think about this Look out.

Ukraine's going to be invaded. Ukraine's going to be invaded. Ukraine gets invaded. He didn't use that time to arm up Ukraine. He said Kyiv was going to fall in three days.

They didn't. When it looked like they have some fight, then he floods weapons in, but not all the weapons they need, just some of the weapons they need, slow walking them, lengthening this fight, causing casualties. And then, since he doesn't know how to run a war, Republicans are jumping off that bandwagon, using what's happening at the border as a legitimate excuse, saying, if you don't fix our border, we're not going to help you out with Ukraine. His delay hurts. Afghanistan, I want to get out of Afghanistan.

Doesn't think how. He embarrasses us, and because he didn't delay, it hurts. And then in Israel, I'll support you until I pay a political price, and then I will turn on you.

Now on what planet is that okay? And then you think back in Israel, what are they thinking? Wow, we really are alone. Naphtali Bennett, who was Prime Minister and might be Prime Minister again. said this about the anti-Israeli coalitions and protests in America, got five.

I would hope that it's a naivete of these college students. They are so much on the wrong side, and I guess in a few years when they grow up, some of them at least will realize how stupid it was what they're doing, because they're fighting against the only democracy, liberal democracy in the Middle East. And we're the ones surrounded by crazy, radical, Islamic regimes that want to destroy the West, want to destroy America, want to destroy Israel. America is called the big Satan. Israel is called by them the small Satan.

But we're the ones fighting. And the last thing you want to do to a friend of yours that is fighting for you and for themselves is to tie their hands or to fight them. I can only be sorry about it. I'm sure that in the future they'll realize how mistaken this approach was. I hope so, because look, you don't have to go to a military war college to understand if you leave the terrorists intact, they don't care about their people.

They win. Why would you leave Sinoir there? Why don't you understand and tell the American people the importance of Israel finishing the job quickly? They provided the corridor for humanitarian exit. Guess who bombed the corridor yesterday or two days ago?

Hamas, they don't want people to get out, they don't want uh uh aid to get in. We know that. The Israelis know that. But the world community likes to condemn things, especially anything to do with Israel. I love the way Tom Cotton just said it like it was yesterday on America Reports Cut five.

25. Again, as long as Joe Biden and the Democratic Party keeps putting pressure on Israel, it makes Hamas that much less likely to actually agree to release any of these hostages. The only reason they restarted negotiations a few weeks ago is because the invasion of Rafah appeared imminent. The only time Hamas has been willing to release hostages is when they are feeling intense military pressure. And every time Joe Biden and the Democrats say that Israel should not proceed with this war, they demand a ceasefire, then Hamas is simply emboldened.

I mean, I know he fought in the military, he's got that military experience, but I don't think anybody who studies this stuff would think any differently that wasn't a terrorist. Even the Palestinians, they say, well, we wouldn't vote for Hamas if we didn't have a choice. Palestinian authority is corrupt, and Hamas at least provided aid and protection. That's what they think.

Now, it's not the case because we know they turned on them, they took the money, they built a life underneath the world through tunnels and subways to protect them, but not protect the Palestinian people. They're up top. I thought Britt Yume nailed it last night when Britt Yume just came out and just said, Look, Do you understand what you're up against? And do you understand that your tactics of straddling the fence hurt everybody? Cut 19.

Cut 28. The Biden administration has been discouraging the final piece of this military puzzle here for Israel for some time. If it had gone ahead months ago, This might all be over with. It's even possible, one can imagine, That these Campus protests would not have reached the critical mass that they seem to have reached if the fighting had been over and done with. Uh there were going to be some civilian casualties to be sure, and perhaps some hostage casualties, such as the realities of war.

He's 100% right as usual. It's so obvious. I'm going to talk more about the military tactics. Because it looks like the IDF is moving in, but not moving in with everything, moving in and allowing a corridor for the civilians to get out. Why hasn't Egypt been forced to open up their border?

We give them over a billion dollars a year. You think you could open up your border temporarily and set up some tents? Maybe the people of Columbia can tell you how. I'm Brian Kilmead. You'll listen to the Brian Kilmead show.

Coming up next, Lieutenant Colonel Alan West, who's spent 22 years in the military and fought in the region. Don't move. It's Brian Kilmead. Listen to the all-new Brett Bear podcast, featuring Common Ground, in-depth talks with lawmakers from opposite sides of the aisle, along with all your Brett Bear favorites, like his all-star panel, and much more. Available now at FoxNewsPodcasts.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

The more you listen, the more you'll know it's Brian Killmead. I think it's all premature, Trace. I think that everybody pulled the trigger quickly, but Israel never agreed to anything. I think what you're seeing right now is the continuation of that Sir Lachat. In Hebrew, we say that pressure cooker campaign, which forced the remnants, the last five, six battalions of Hamas, into the corner of Gaza, which is Rafah.

That's exactly what Israel wants to do, and that's how you kill terrorists. And so now, what we're seeing is Israel saying enough is enough. We're going to go in there, we're going to finish the job, we're going to wipe out the last five, six, seven thousand terrorists. Israel has a lot of experience in moving the civilians around the sector.

So welcome back, everybody. That was Aaron Cohen, former Israeli Special Operations Officer, talking about why they have to go into Rafah. Why is this so hard to understand? Lieutenant Colonel Alan West is there. Colonel, do you know the Secretary of State told the Israelis under no circumstances should you go into Rafah?

Really? And since what are we doing that? And now the Prime Minister says I have to go in anyway. Where do you stand? Yeah.

Well, you have to vanquish your enemy from the battlefield, especially when your enemy is a terrorist organization whose charter is your complete annihilation and destruction and extermination. And the fact that we have Joe Biden, who has come out and said that he is going to hold up on the resupply of weapons and ammunition to Israel, even though this is something that has been signed into law, has passed both houses of Congress, that shows you once again that he is trying to walk a very, very dangerous razor's edge in saying that, you know, on one hand, you know, we support Israel, but yet he's trying to appease those pro-Hamas protesters in the streets who, Brian, it really pisses me off. These kids just defamed and defaced a World War I memorial. Absolutely. You know, it is time that we say enough of this crap.

It's just illegal. I mean, let's just be honest. It's not free speech when you're damaging things. And by the way, why is George Washington's statue at GWU allowed to be sit there with all the Palestinian crap on them? Why is that allowed to happen?

The cops got surrounded and left. Since when do the cops care? They got the guns. Half of them turned around, pulled the guns out on these people, and the other half fixed the statue. Yeah, you know, it's very simple to me.

You look at last night, there were more. NYPD officers guarding the Met Gala than going out there and confronting these pro-Hamas terrorist supporters that were out vandalizing areas in New York and defaming the memory of men and women who served in World War I. I mean, what kind of America is this? But again, it comes back to Biden and Blinken trying to walk this razor's edge of saying one thing from one side of the mouth, but really meaning another thing because they're more so concerned about the political future ahead of them. Evidently, there's a big story today in the New York Times: how China, Russia, and Iran are using the same methods of online instigation to stoke college protests as they used in previous elections.

They're already doing it. It doesn't say they're generating it. They're looking at that now, but they looked at organizations like News Guard, whose job it is to look after this. Max Lesser is a senior analyst with another investigative company. They say there's a high volume of protest-related content as a clear example of foreign adversary actively exploiting our ongoing domestic crisis.

Many of the accounts are linked to Spamophage. The Spamophage is an expert on this. Shares similar content, one on X with nearly 18,000 followers. Retweeted a post from a Chinese diplomat in Pakistan criticizing us.

So they're trying to amplify the chaos, much like with Black Lives Matter, much like with Antifa. You know, much like a lot of these protests, when things get out of hand, you find out that they're making things worse. Our enemies are using our passions against each other. Against our own country. Yeah, this is Marxism 101.

This is divide and conquer. It's a very simple tactic. And we know that we're starting to see these websites which are being produced to get these young people out there and give them these message points and talking points and data points. How interesting it is that all of a sudden, when Fox News commentators go out and try to talk to these individuals, I'm not a media specialist. I have to refer you to someone else.

They don't even want to talk about the reasons why they're out there because they're being coached, they're being trained, they're being mentored, and they're being well financed and well resourced. And I got to tell you right now, we need to be looking at who are the people that are supporting individuals to go out and protest on behalf of a terrorist organization that killed Americans and are holding Americans hostages if they're not dead already. This is a bigger story than I think a lot of people realize. I do. I think it is a much bigger story.

Why are we not hearing about the Uyghurs? Or the threats on Taiwan. Why is it that anything that China is interested in, it's always hands-off? Lastly, I want to talk about politics. Maxine Waters has a warning for the country, cut 34.

We have to be very concerned about a former president of the United States talking about attacking his own country, talking about perhaps a bloodbath. I'm going to ask the Justice Department and I'm going to ask the President to tell us what they're going to do to protect this country against violence if he loses. What is she even talking about? Read the Time Magazine story. Max, your thoughts.

Well, Maxine Waters is the embodiment of what Vladimir Lenin once called the useful idiots. You know, she's the person that stood up there on a street corner rally and told folks to get into the face of, you know, Trump administration officials and supporters. And we know what happened. Sarah Huckabee, Sanders, Ted Cruz, many others in the Trump administration. She's the one that said, you know, that President Trump was a threat because he would start a nuclear war.

Look at all the conflict and chaos across the world under the Biden administration. You know, the people that are out there in the streets right now are not Trump supporters. And you know what? There are Joe Biden haters, too. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it.

You're with Brian Kilmead. If you're in the White House, you're not thinking about am I checking the box on doing the most interviews. You're thinking about am I doing the most I can to communicate my message to the American people? That's who I represent.

So I would say more Howard Stern, come on the view. You know, more Smartless conversations where you're having conversations about policy, but they're real ones that people have at their kitchen. That is Jen Saki on The View. And she said that Howard Stern was a big benefit. Let's start doing select podcasts, but do not put him out there in a press conference situation.

And this is followed up the day before from Politico, who said that they have decided to lessen the number of appearances for the president and shorten his speeches to make them sharper. Garrett Ventrig knows to parse those words, and he also knows when they're parsing words. He's the founder and president of GRV Strategies. He used to work with a lot of Republicans. One of the ones he's working with right now is Elise Stefanik.

Garrett, your thoughts about Jen Saki's advice? Yeah, I mean, the President obviously has got to sharpen up some of these things here, which is tough, right? I mean, he's got to be able to do that. The problem with him on these speeches and these type of things is he's just a gaff-prone machine, right? It's not going to correct.

And so I think their best bet is to throw them in the basement again and hope that the chaos is too much with President Donald Trump with all the trials and things like that. The problem is, again, is now you have a comparison of two presidencies here on the economy, on immigration, on the courts, on crime, on foreign policy, on national security. We can go down the list. And people miss the policies of Donald Trump and they don't like the policies of Joe Biden. Joe Biden, it's really tough here because, again, every time he opens his mouth, he has trouble walking upstairs, all of these things.

Just going to be really tough to tighten up when he just physically seems not able to do that.

Well, I mean, what I don't understand, maybe you can do this because you look at polls all the time. We see how. It looks like Joe Biden's dropped 19 points with African Americans. He has dropped with Hispanics. He's dropped with people under 30.

But yet when you look at the polls, the national polls may be six, but the individual battleground states is very tight. How do both things be true? How could both things be true? Yeah, I think it's interesting here because you've got to look at it. There's a national scale, and then the swing states are different, right?

Because you're going to say there could be a broader gap in some of these states, right? Where Trump is stronger in Ohio, so he might have more significant lead than going additionally nationally, right? Because he's got a stronger lead in Ohio. But I think if you do look at the swing states, all these states are going to be, it's going to be a very close election. I think anyone who tells you it's going to be Biden winning Arizona by four or Trump winning Arizona by five or something like that, I think is insane.

This is going to come down to four or five very key swing states by. You know, maybe 30 or 40,000 votes in each state. All elections, as you see these, they end up tightening in these swing states. And so I think it is a warning sign for Biden, though, when you're talking about traditional support for Democrats with African-American voters, young voters, Hispanic voters, that's starting not only to fall off for him, but trending towards his opponent, which is a problem for him. Which is a problem for him.

And the one thing about Trump, he can rally. He can do these rallies. And evidently, I know people that were in, I'm sure you do too, at Mar-a-Lago in the four seasons, talk for like two hours.

So if he's 77 years old and you want to say, well, Donald Trump's losing his fastball, funny way of showing it. Yeah, I mean that plus he you know probably golfed eighteen holes before that. He's up till nine hours in the courtroom four days a week. Yeah, exactly. He sleeps two hours a night.

You know, I mean, I've uh l like others have, I mean, you know, there's been you know, times he'll call at like one in the morning to check in or whatever, right? A ton of energy for being 77.

So it's not really even an age factor. Like my former boss, Chuck Grassley, he's 90. He runs five, six times a week. I always tell people, and they're like, he's too old. I'm like, these reporters were at 29 in the hill.

I'm like, well, you're hungo on a Thursday morning and can't get up. He's running. You can't keep a schedule.

So it's more of a, I think, mental competency thing than age thing or energy thing. And I think Trump clearly has it, and Biden's lacking it.

Well, I mean, Bernie Sanders is going to run again another six years. Yep.

So. The one thing about Bernie Sanders, I think he's bad for the country. I think he's a terrible American. Everything he does is against our country, our system of government, as well as our economic focus, which is free market as opposed to socialist. But no one thinks that he's too old.

Correct. I mean, again, it comes down to like, do you have the energy? Do you have the mental competency? And you can look at this. And Biden, you know, again, we're talking about he's, you know, the New York Times criticize him.

The New York Times. Did you see that? They criticize him for not doing enough interviews. He's not made himself available to the press. But they should.

Why these guys show up at the White House correspondence dinner and laugh with him is do you have any pride at all? Correct. He has said, I'm not doing interviews. I'm not doing press conferences. Are you going to follow me around the world and I will not even talk to you?

I'll scream a line or two back.

So to me, it's so insulting. No, 100%. He's getting chauffeured around by the Easter Bunny and things like that, right? You've got the Easter Bunny handling him because he can't handle himself.

So I agree with that. It's an absolute disgrace that he's not able to talk to the press. He's not able to do these press conferences, interviews.

So we know where he stands on issues. And it's just a lack of accountability they try to hide him from Buell because he's incapable of doing it. Anytime he does something, whether it's State of the Union, speech, campaigning, it ends up turning out very poorly for him.

So, Gary, we see something else happen since last time you were here. We don't have some protests. We have 27 states between 70 and 80 different campuses showing, protesting Joe Biden's policy with Israel in Gaza.

Now, you know how I feel? I feel the Israelis should be unleashed to finish off Rafah. I know their objection is never to kill civilians. They know it doesn't work for their cause. Whether they could get more precision weapons or not, I'm not sure.

But now we stopped shipping ammo and weapons that we already committed to them. And we told them under no circumstances you go into Rafa and pushing them into a prisoner deal. And yet there's still riots in the streets chanting Genocide Joe. Lose, lose, lose, lose. No, 100%.

I mean, they want, these people don't want it. It started as a ceasefire.

Now they want essentially Israel. Gone. Right, and any Jewish person to be basically run out of town or demolished. We're seeing this is i i it's insane. I saw, you know, there's uh some of these you have like people waving on these college campuses Hezbollah flags.

Yeah.

Like literally promoting terrorism. It's not even like the Palestinian flag, which doesn't exist. It's now. Promoting literally terrorist activity. I think one of the interesting things here is seeing the frat bros kind of push back.

It's kind of been legendary, right? They're going in there, they're pushing back, they're chanting, they're mocking these protesters. I think that's an interesting but take a step back to your point here. Can I follow up on the North Carolina since the story has moved?

Now they are demanding get access to the American flag that's being guarded by the cops. They don't like having cops at Chapel Hill. Number two is the faculty say They will not give out final grades into the administration caves on some of their demands. The faculty signing off with the protesters, not with those frat guys who put up the American flag and sang the national anthem.

Well I think, and we've talked about this before, I think one of my clients, Elise Stephonic, has done a really good job on this. It's like we should not be giving federal funding to these people. We shouldn't. These people shouldn't. You're talking about billions.

Right, 100%.

So we should not be giving federal funds to universities that are safe harboring terrorists, essentially. That's what they're doing. Or people who are promoting terrorism and calling for the genocide of Jewish students on their campuses and not wanting to protect them, right? You had a Columbia down the street. Lily, a rabbi, say it's not safe for Jewish students.

You should not go to. Correct. It's absolutely insane.

So you're seeing that and then back to your question what you're saying in Israel. I mean, the Biden administration seems very interested in cozing up Iran. You know, they cozied up to the Taliban and met their demands. Art. Adversaries see this in the world.

Houston rebels off the terror watch list. 100%. Called Saudi Arabia an outlaw nation or something similar to that. That's a tactical problem because you're siding with Iran if you isolate Saudi Arabia. They're still trying to claw their way back to Saudi Arabia.

They coddle everybody but the American people, essentially. And so that's the problem here: you know, you have, you've seen this, it's chaos, right? Russia invaded Ukraine. We've been over this over and again. Israel's been invaded, you know, from the north, from the south, all over the place.

And then you've got, you know, Afghanistan toppled by the Taliban. It's completely out of control. Houthi rebels basically shutting down the Red Sea. That's insane.

So what about if you're a Columbia senior? You find out yesterday on the news your graduation is canceled, cut six. It's so disappointing, honestly. To be honest with you, even weeks ago when I saw the horrific. Terrorism unfolding on our campus.

I didn't even want to go to my graduation anymore. I worked my entire life to get into Columbia. I got straight A's my entire college career, and now I don't even want to walk in my graduation because I know that my administration has proven time and time again for the last seven months, really, not only the last three or four weeks, that it refuses to protect Jewish students and students who are just regular Americans who just want to go to class. You hear the sadness in her voice. You do.

And someone who, you know, going to an Ivy League school like Columbia, that's a great accomplishment, right? You go there, you work hard, you save for college, you do all the right things in high school throughout it, and you get to do that, and then having the. You know, seeing the final result, being able to walk across stage with your friends, with your colleagues, with your parents, that's like a big. Big deal for these folks, right? And these in these college students.

And so it just is very sad that you're talking about not being able to protect Jewish students on campus. It's absolutely insane to me, right? You're not talking about people debating about things. You're talking about actual calls for violence, for genocide. These are insane things.

If you're judging a president, how are they leading?

So what does this president do? He straddles the line on everything. Correct. Halfway into the Ukraine. Then he says, I'm not going to give you the weapons you want.

Nicks, you know, they're in a long, drawn-out pitch battle.

Now he can't rally anyone to his cause because he's presided over this war so poorly. And then you have Afghanistan, I got to get out. No idea how to get out, just gets out anyway. And then with Israel, halfway in, halfway out. That is leadership.

That's his brand of leadership. It's not working anywhere in the world right now. It's alienating those kids on college campus. They're chanting Genocide Joe.

So if you are working with a Republican candidate, You know that's your body. Your object your game plan is even more harsh. Than Jen than Joe Biden's game plan. What do you do? Yeah, with these folks on college campuses.

Right, right now. And knowing that those are the young people, most of them are going to vote for you now. Do you want to even get involved there? Do you just pull back and ignore it? No, I think there's no risk here for Republicans to lean in on the issue of Israel, right?

It's like our voters, whether you're, you know, these swing voters don't like what's happening with these calls on the college campuses, right? These gettable voters, and our base is fully with Israel. The problem that Biden has is you have this divided base. You have like some of these Democrat, you know, Jewish donors, those type of folks who hate what's going on. Right?

Traditional folks like Bill Ackman, who's voted Democrats, Robert Kraft. Exactly. And now they're leaning towards Republicans because of this issue. And then you have the most fringe part of the base, right, that you're seeing on the college. Exactly.

Rashida Talib, Milan Omar, who are siding with essentially terrorist sympathizers. And so Biden has to like. Deal with this issue here where he's trying to thread the needle. The problem is, there is no needle on this issue. This is a pick sides issue.

And for Republicans, it's very easy for us. We can just say, hey, listen, we stand with Israel. What's happening on college campuses is absolutely ridiculous. And it puts Democrats in a very tough position to have to try and straddle a line that you just can't do because, again, you have to pick sides on the issue. Yeah, by the way, Jamal Bowman, who's losing his primary right now in New York, he's the guy who pulled the fire alarm.

He was caught at a fundraiser hosted by an Islamic leader who praised Hamas's attack on Israel.

So, knowing he's under this pressure, knowing he's got Jewish people in his own district, he doesn't care. He still shows up. How do you explain that? No, I mean the guy's a lunatic. I mean again he pulled the fire alarm.

You and I have been to the Capitol many times. I worked there for many years. You know I never thought you pushed the fire alarm to exit the building. I mean it's absolutely ridiculous. And he works in a school they know how hard you scare the hell out of kids.

Correct. Exactly. So you know listen, I think that he is capitulating to like the most fringe people nationally and not focusing on his district. And that's the easiest way to lose primary, right? You do the national thing.

You know, we've seen this with other programs, 100%. And you do all the national stuff, and then, whoops, you're done, right? You saw this with AOC. That's got a colleague.

So you see this all the time here. And that's a tough thing to do.

So when you don't focus on what your constituents want, they usually vote you out of office. All right.

So how do you feel about the standoff with Johnson and? Um Mary Marjorie Taylor Greene. Listen, I think that no one has the appetite for. I think, you know, Congresswoman Taylor Greene would probably say she's trying to represent her constituents who want to get spending under control, who want to get order, who want to no funding to Ukraine. She has every right to do that.

I think most Republicans, though, do not have an appetite for another speaker battle here a few months before the election. And President Trump doesn't seem to have that same interest as well.

So I don't think anything's going to happen for this. You see even Democrats throw cold water on this. The next question is: who gets it? Who else can get 218 in the Republican Conference? Nobody.

I mean, Scalise, Jordan, they struggled last time. I like both of them, but it's tough to get to 218.

So here's what Speaker Johnson told me Saturday night, Cut 37. I haven't asked anyone to do that. There's no exchange of anything here. They're doing that spontaneously. I think there are people of good faith in both parties who want the Congress to be functioning.

Remember the last time the chair was vacated when it happened to Kevin McCarthy, we shut the Congress down for three weeks. I mean, imagine how dangerous that would be right now in the midst of hot wars around the world and all this insurrection on campuses and all the rest that's going on. We have to have a functioning Congress, and I think people see that and they don't want the chaos to ensue. Last question, Gary. Yes, sir.

How do you feel it looks if he goes through with this and Harry and Tom Massey trigger this? And Akeem Jeffries and others step up and save him. Is that an audition to be the next speaker for Jakeem Jeffries? Is that does that make it harder for Republicans to win in their district? I don't know.

I mean, the chaos certainly doesn't help. I mean, I think what it does is anytime you're dependent on. Just because we have a slim majority here, you're dependent on Democrats as the Speaker to save your job. Kind of guts you in a lot of ways, right? That you don't have the support of the majority of your caucus.

It's different when you're like, you know, you got 239 and like you lose 11 and you get, you know, somewhere 227, whatever, 228. That's different, right? You still have the support of your caucus. It's hard to. Really govern in that way when Democrats are the one who save you.

So, listen, I think it's Jeffries trying to show that Democrats can govern. And Republicans have chaos, and we're going to save the day, it's going to be fine, just like we did with government shutdown, just like we did with the McCarthy deal. Like, we're the reasonable people. These people, you gave a majority, they didn't get anything done, even though we know that's not true, but that's the message they're going to try and sell.

So, if you're Republicans, I think you've got to resist that. You've got good issues here, you've got Trump leading in the polls, we're doing well in battleground states. Keep your eye on the ball. I know, but if you have a lot of self-serving people there, they're there to get famous, not to help the country, which is just to me, it's maddening. We all know.

I think most of the squad. Are out to lunch, and I look at Marjorie Tellegreen and others, and I say, You're not helping anybody. Garrett, always great to talk to you. Give my best to Elise Stefanik. We're still trying to get around the weekend channel.

We're going to do it. All right, we're going to do it. Founder and president of GRV Strategies. Back in a moment, Brian Kilmey. You're with Brian Kilmead.

Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. This is great. We got a couple of minutes in our first call from our brand new station, our brand new affiliate, KLIF. Hey, Mary, you're in Dallas.

What's on your mind? Thanks for calling. I've been trying to call you for so many months. I just love you so much. I think you're the best old thing, mate.

And I love when you say put your clothes on.

Well, I say get dressed. Oh, I mean, I know. What else do you say? You say, um. Stay within yourself.

Within yourself, I love you so much, Brad. I got my friend. Uh, um, uh, what's your name again? My name is Carla. Carla's on the phone with me.

Long-time listener. First-time caller. And, Brad, I just love you to pieces. Wait a second. Are you guys actually calling from KLIF?

We are is our favorite radio station. We're so glad it covers the Brian Killmead Show. Yes, and I also inspired to get dressed every morning when I listen to you. And we without you, I never would. We only watch for you.

We don't know those other people. Yeah, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Everybody on the line, that was our first party line we've ever had. Am I correct?

All right, thanks so much, ladies. I appreciate it. It was Janice and Carly. We just want to say happy birthday. Yeah.

Happy birthday. To you. Happy birthday, dear Brian. Happy birthday to you.

So, why did you let them on, guys? No, you did. They gave phony names. That's a terrible Texas accent. I thought it sounded authentic.

I was trying to get them. I said to myself, I keep telling them, this is not real. We've got to get rid of them. And they wouldn't even look at me. I'm going, you've got to dump.

This is not real. Brian, are you mad? Please don't be mad. I'm not mad, but I am glad you're dressed. But America is disappointed.

It took a village. We have like 10 people that made this happen and they believed in us and knew we weren't gonna screw it up. I apologize to Dallas, Texas. I apologize to all those named Mary who don't sound like that. Hey, Carly, I know she put you up to that.

From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Killer. That one, we're following everything breaking in and around this country, including the University of Chicago.

Now they have their encampment. The cops move into riot police came in with their full regalia to rip up. But evidently, the faculty and others are resisting. You have to see this standoff that's taking place. We're following it.

New York, it was a day of rage last night, so we're following that too, as well as everything on the court cases. This hour, we're going to be joined by Marty Dolan. He wants to unseat as a Democrat AOC in her district. I think she's vulnerable. We'll see if Marty Dolan's the guy.

And then we'll do a samo cast with Varney and Company. And Dave Ignatius of the Washington Post has got a brand new book out. He's waiting in the wings. Before we do that, let me line up what's happening in the world with the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. What I can only reiterate is that. We've been consistent, and the President was consistent again this morning, that we don't support ground operations in Rafah. All right, that is John Kirby going into Rafah.

That's where Israel knows it has to go to find the hostages and wipe out the four battalions of Hamas while President Biden holds them back, prolonging the pain and lengthening the protests. We bring you the latest on the ceasefire talks and more. Democrats are in a very tough position now. They're stuck between their dream of finally seeing Trump behind bars and now the nightmare that he's going to become some sort of civil rights martyr when he gets put in there. But it's probably the most likely chance that they'll see him behind bars based on the prosecution's presentation so far.

Trump trial week number four, and suddenly jail time is on the table. Trump seems to be violating the gag order. This is the COO takes the stand to try and link Trump to payments for Daniels and McDougal, and the countdown to disgrace Michael Cohen is on. Continues, by the way, today is Stormy Daniels Day. Number one.

This is the way you do things. You go in, you protest, you go and destroy whatever you want, it is, and then everybody goes, okay, okay, okay, okay, we'll give whatever you want. Brown University said we're going to give in to the terrorism on our campus? This only empowers and boldens the troubled ones. Yeah, Factor and Rutgers there too, and other colleges.

Rabbi Mentz weighing in, Campus Chaos, and Met Gala Mayhem dominate the headlines as a crackdown on the encampments and decisions on college commencements are front and center, while an overstressed NYPD tries to handle it all. Dave Ignatius joins us now from the Washington Post. Dave, welcome back. Congratulations on your new book, Phantom Orbit: A Thriller, which we'll get to shortly. First off, your thoughts about the protest does it remind you of the 60s at all?

I know you're not that old, but from what people tell you. I ain't that old, and it does remind me of that.

So, I mean, I have two conflicting thoughts, Brian. I want universities to be places of free speech, learning. I mean, that's what a university is about. But I want them to be places where people can do their studies, where they're not disrupted, they can graduate, they can come together.

So, I do think the disruptions on some campuses have just gone way over the line. I'm glad people are dealing with them. But again, universities need to be places where you learn, you say, you're not afraid to say what you feel, whether you're conservative, liberal, whatever.

So, David, I just can't figure these out. And I talked about a lot of this last week, but the perspective of having you on board makes me want to reframe it.

So, if you told me you're against the Iraq war, I get it. America's involved. You tell me you think we've been in Afghanistan too long. You tell me that segregation's got to end in the 1960s, civil rights got to take place, now's the time. I understand it.

Vietnam War, it's American. But since when Does the Israeli-Palestinian issue come up so quickly in the minds of kids this age, many of which are not students? It makes you wonder how organic this is. Are you also curious? I am curious.

It does seem to have come up quickly. The one thing I'll tell you, Brian, from my own experience, I covered the Israeli siege of Beirut in 1982. It's a long time ago. And one thing that I noticed over the course of that summer was that it's really hard for people to watch the siege of a city on television. And the images inevitably have a kind of violence and civilian suffering that are just hard to watch.

And by the end of that summer, it was very difficult for Israel to maintain the siege. It had ended up having to settle with Arafat, the leader of the PLO then, negotiate his withdrawal from Beirut.

So I think that's part of what's happening. People see these images on social media. They don't remember. Their memories are so short. They don't remember October 7th.

They don't remember the hideous images of Israelis being slaughtered. They see the images in front of them that day, and there are little kids and their moms.

So I think that's part. Or maybe there's an attempt to organize it in a more systematic way, but I have a feeling, Brian, that the most powerful part is just the imagery. It's hard to watch. I also think, though, the anti-Semitism is also clear. I mean, how else do you explain days after the hostages are taken and pictures going up on polls in New York City, do we see them being ripped down?

I'm thinking to myself, where did that come from? That made me sick.

So I found that really shocking. These are people who are suffering, who are being held underground, or often being tortured. I found ripping down the posters of those people who've been taken hostage, something wrong with that.

So I want to bring something else to your attention. New York Times writes today, China, Russia, and Iran are using the same methods of online instigation to stoke college protests as they used in previous elections. We know after Trump won, they were actually using bots, the Russians, to actually, Michael Moore even went to one, to start these protests. And people say, who's behind this? We don't even know.

Now, they're not saying they created the unrest. But they're saying that they're amplifying it. When are we going to rise up and really start investigating this with all the powers of the government? You got it.

So every time the Russians, now the Chinese, see a wedge, see an opening, they just drive into it. You know, they exploit it. And we just have to be smarter about it. You know, I think people have to wake up. You can have legitimate grievances from whatever perspective you have, but you have to realize that people are trying to manipulate that and use it for their own ends.

But I think you're absolutely right. People need to see there are manipulators out there. They're going after you and me. You've got to stop them. I'm gonna Bring you also to college campuses.

When you talk about a bastion of anti-Americanism, let alone anti-Semitism, I don't see people standing up for the Uyghurs who are Muslim, who are being in the middle of concentration camps now for five, six, seven, eight years. That's pretty much done. Where were the rallies for the Syrians who were being barrel bombed by the Russians? I don't see that coming up. I just wonder what's behind it, and do you worry about what kids are learning on these campuses?

I do. I've been worrying about that for a while. And this brings the worries to a new level. You know, I think when you're young, it's easy, you're emotional. It's easy to be manipulated.

It's the responsibility of teachers, people who are older, to help kids make good decisions. I'll tell you one thing, Brian, that this kind of cuts the other way. I just want people to know this.

So yesterday, my newspaper, The Washington Post, won a Pulitzer Prize in the name of our columnist, whose name is Kura Murtsa. He's an incredibly brave Russian who's been writing columns to the Washington Post about freedom and dignity in Russia. He's in prison. He's in Vladimir Putin's prison. And the Pulitzer Prize Committee gave him a Pulitzer Prize, the highest award our profession has to say.

We thank you for your bravery, your toughness. We see you in prison. We remember you. We feel the same way about Evan Gershkovich, the Wall Street Journal reporter. But when we find people who are standing up against Vladimir Putin, like our columnists, we ought to celebrate that person.

I was glad to see the Poster Prize Committee do that yesterday. David Yesh, our guest, his book is now out called Phantom Orbit. And last question: No one has to tell you about the war on terror. To me, there's just no doubt that Benjamin Nyahoo and the IDF have to finish off the four battalions, Hamas battalions, and get Sinoir, who's sitting there in Gaza. If we don't, we're going to be back here in 18 months with another horrific massacre.

Why don't you think that? President Biden sees it the same way, Anthony Blinken sees it the same way.

So I think you're right that those four battalions have to be finished off. They don't have to be finished off tomorrow. And it's a simple question of cost and benefit for Israel. Israel it's important for Israel to win the war for p international public opinion, in addition to everything else. The mortal threat to Israel has essentially been taken away, thank goodness.

There is this cleanup to be done. Those four battalions are not much militarily. Do we have does Israel have to do it tomorrow? Biden minister says no, it's probably better to wait. I you know, I don't know enough about the details from a military standpoint, but but I don't think you should assume if we don't do it tomorrow, that means we'll never do it.

The Israelis will never do it, because I'm sure that won't be so. They won't they will not allow they will never allow Hamas to rebuild itself. But how long are they going to have sentiment involved to let them continue to do these strikes? And also, how much didn't they know about Gaza, this subterranean life that was built? The fact that they were bringing pianos and tracks.

Brian, you're absolutely too much they didn't know, but they've learned a lesson. Hopefully, their defenses will be better, their intel will be better. I'm just saying, you don't have to because the fact that you have to do something militarily doesn't mean you have to do it tomorrow.

Sometimes a wise commander says, taking all the factors into account, maybe better to wait a little longer. All right.

It just seems like the momentum now. Phantom Orbit is now out. What would you take the real what you now know about intelligence and operations and national international rivalries to put this together? Tell me about Phantom Orbit.

So, Brian, I'd love for your Fox listeners to take a look at Phantom Morbit because it's about the next phase of warfare. Warfare is moving to space. And the Ukraine war, in some ways, is the first space war. What's keeping the Ukrainians alive are American weapons, yeah, but also the amazing satellite communications links that Elon Musk has provided. They wouldn't have a chance, Brian, if they didn't have connections to Starlink satellites that allowed their commanders in the field to talk to home base, to get intel, to get targeting.

So, my book, Phantom Morbit, tries to explain this world that we're living in, the people who do it, the reason that this is reshaping our world. My worry sometimes is that Elon Musk is going to decide that one day, geez, I don't know, I'm not sure this forever war in Ukraine makes any sense, and pack it up and say, I've got to go sell Teslas in China, and then that's it for the Ukrainians. But it's important. It's important that people understand some of the themes in this book, Phantom War, but I hope. You have a Russian student in Beijing who discovers an unsolved puzzle in the writings of the 17th century astronomer Johann Kepler.

He takes the puzzle to a senior scientist in the Chinese space program and declares his intention to solve it. Want to give us an idea what's next?

So, what's next is that this Russian comes to realize that the Russians and Chinese have put together what he thinks of as a kill switch that can turn off GPS, that can turn off the satellite signals that allow your cell phone to work, that allow airlines to keep from crashing into each other, that allow basically every part of our life and commerce to continue.

So, he decides he's got to tell the CIA, even though he's a Russian, he's a scientist, he feels a responsibility to do that.

So, he sends a message trying to alert them. And they don't answer. Why? Why don't they want to know about this threat? And that's a lot of what we come to understand in the book.

Why are they why are they holding back? There's a reason, but you got to read the book. Gotcha. And it plays into a little bit what I wanted to ask you, too, from what your assessment is. Maybe you wrote about this, but soon you will.

Does China learn from Russia it's okay to invade another nation, or do they learn it's not okay? In the beginning, it seemed clear that the Russians were gummed up. There was so much rotten lying and grift within their military that I hear the Chinese turned around and started looking at their own military and gutting it and making sure there's not the same corruption. Do they say to themselves, put up with 18 months of ridicule after we take Taiwan and then everything's going to get okay? What do you think they're learning from the Russian invasion?

But I think they're learning first that there won't be an easy victory. Putin thought he'd be done with this in in ten days. He thought it was Cape One. He was told that he wasn't. He was told that, as Intel people said that, it was just flat wrong.

And I got to hand it to the Ukrainians for having the guts to stand up to them. And I'm glad that the United States and our NATO allies helped them in those early days to push the Russians back.

So that's the first thing Chinese learn is this isn't Taiwan wouldn't be a freebie. You know, you'd lose a lot of people. Your mainland would be vulnerable. Look, you know, today, Ukrainian drones are hitting 200 miles east of Moscow. They're all over Russia.

14% of Russia's refining capacity has been taken out by Ukrainian drones.

So Chinese look at that and say, oh.

Okay, well, this is going to be a more difficult war than we thought.

So I think it leads them to pause. I think if the United States, I just was talking to a senior Taiwanese official a couple days ago and asking, are you getting the weapons that will allow you to fight as smartly as Ukraine has and keep these invaders from seizing your capital, your essential assets? And the answer from this Taiwanese was yes, we are. We're learning. We're learning from what Ukraine is doing.

But the lesson for Chinese is be careful. You're walking into something more dangerous than you realize. When I ask senior American military commanders what would happen in a war if we got in a war with China over Taiwan, they say with confidence the Chinese would be obliterated within a day. I mean, take that for what it's like. By us.

By us. They're confident enough that we have overwhelming power. I mean, don't forget, whatever shortcomings our military has, we own the undersea domain. You know, we have submarine capabilities no one else comes even comes close to. And that's a threat that China can't really monitor and would have devastating effects in a war.

Yeah, I know General Jack Keene isn't quite so optimistic because he's worried about having to boom the aircraft carriers so far back to get out of China's range. He's right about that. He's right about that, Brian. But but we do as General Keene knows better than anybody we have submarines for, we have a lot of stuff forward that people don't think about.

Well, pick up the book. What I love is it's based on what you know. It's not just sitting there staring in the sky and imagining things happen. This could happen. Phantom Orbit, a thriller.

Dave Ignatius, always appreciate your time. Thanks so much. It's great to be on with you, Brian. Thank you so much for having me. Yeah, I really encourage my audience to pick it up.

Back in a moment, Brian, Kilmeicho. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Joe. Madam Vice President, Hamas says it accepted a ceasefire deal.

Hamas says it accepted a ceasefire deal. Your reaction.

So she talked about her groceries.

So you have a chance as vice president, you have people yelling out stuff to you. Maybe you walk over to the cameras and you just say, listen, we understand this is a moving target when it comes to the ceasefire. We all want the peace in the area, but I don't know the details yet. And I would never want to get her in front of the president to do it. But I appreciate you guys being here.

Instead, she just repeats something about the food she bought. It's nuts. That's why, instinctively, she's the worst pick ever. She's destroyed her career. If she thinks she's going to be president, not in this lifetime.

And the problem with Democrats is they don't have a stud. I mean, this guy, Governor Shapiro, seemed pretty competent, but Governor Newsom is a total sham. What he's done to California, how he doesn't step up in the time of clutch with all these riots at USC and UCLA, University of Santa Cruz, he's yours, California, Santa Cruz. This is an opportunity, if you're a leader, to step up. And she is not it.

Now I look at the Governor of Maryland, who, when it came to that bridge, was there every day. I'd like to see him hold a few press conferences and get stuff done. If he executes effectively, like Governor DeSantis did after that hurricane hit Fort Myers, he got that bridge back up. Might be a different story. That's just my opinion about what I think is going on.

So with the Vice President of the United States, there's really no help to the President. But keep in mind, if she was good, do you know how many how many problems would be solved for Democrats? Because they would say, okay, Joe Biden's 80, but you know, Kamala Harris is there. She's so active, so hands-on, she's heir apparent. You could feel rest assured.

But they picked the wrong person because she makes people feel more uncertain than Joe Biden does. Not my problem, not your problem, it's their problem. I'm Brian Killmead. Don't move, Marty Dolan next. The fastest three hours in radio.

You're with Brian Kilmead. So, not many people around the country look at AOC and think to themselves: what a productive legislator. They see somebody who's very good on camera, great social media.

Some of her questions in different hearings. When they're not scripted out for her, fall way short, like the one with Tony Bobolinski. But she gets a pass because she's in a safe district. In New York, or is she? It's New York 14.

Marty Dolan wants to change that. He's a Democrat, former banker, running against AOC and joins us right now. The primary is coming up on June 25th, which is really like the general election because Republicans have no shot. Marty, welcome. Thank you very much.

Happy to be here. Marty, I've seen a couple of your interviews. I want you to win already.

So, What is it going to take for you to win? I know in the polls she's extremely well known, but I can't imagine people are happy, especially with her stance when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. You know, it's interesting. We got seven thousand petition signatures. in sixteen days in the district.

And That's a great sign. And I got another good one for you, which is that. the uh there was a newspaper in New York who's named after New York. And they they had a guest essay this weekend, eight thousand words. talking about how AOC was going to be the future of the Democratic Party.

But not one word was said about the Bronx. or queen. And that's what it's going to take, which is we have a ground game. And it's being incredibly well received by the people in the Bronx and Queens because they never see her, and they never want to see her anymore. Which is, by the way, Marty, the way Crowley got beat, he wasn't spending enough time in the district.

He was too worried about leadership. And they say that he was just KO'd. And that same thing happened with Eric Cantor. He worried about leadership, not worried about his Virginia district. Here's what Rachel Campo's Duffy found when she went to Jackson Heights and talked to some of those residents that you're trying to win over.

There's so much immigration now. There's so many Venezuelans, Ecuadorians, Mexicans that crossed over, you know, due to biting. Are you seeing crime? More crime? More crime?

Yeah, more crime. There's more crime going on. Robberies. A lot of crackers. After 7 p.m., you cannot walk around here.

In the corner? Every like a week, you heard like somebody was killed, somebody was like beaten. I feel very unsafe, truly. Has your business suffered at all? She said, Yes, our business has been affected.

Now, everyone goes home early, closes early because of the crime situation. Rachel speaks Spanish, so she's able to do some incident analysis. Marty, what do you think about what that random poll just revealed? What does that reveal to you? I say, como eso, la vida.

I mean, that's life, you know, that's the reality on the street, which is. She has lost her support in the district. When I walk around, you talk to 20 people, 18 of them say, you know, we've had enough. Let's get New York back to normal. Let's get back to the way things used to be.

And so far, you got until June, the middle of June, to go do this. What do you do about her name and face recognition? How do you beat that? When people say, well, she raises our profile on a national stage.

Well, we're not running this race in Portland, Oregon, or, you know, in San Francisco or. or any place. We're running it in the district. We've got to get to 20 to 25,000 primary voters. You go around, shake hands with people, you go to the supermarket in Castle Hill, You go to the Macy's in Park Chester, you go down to Ditmars, and you make yourself available to the people, which is the job.

The job is not to get. six million followers from people all over the world, the job is to represent the people in the district, and they see that.

So Right now, you've got a couple of issues. How would you handle where do you stand on the Encampments at Columbia, NYU, Parsons School of Design, Hunter College, City College. They're trespassing. That's a little different from AOC. She says they need to be supported.

How do you feel about the NYPD going on campus? I I I they have to be asked to come on campus. I think the problem has been that the campus administrators Have been way too late and far too short. We love freedom of speech. That's what this radio show is about.

It's the First Amendment. But when it crosses over into hate speech, Threatening behavior. and criminal trespassing, then the c the college these are college administrators. They're supposed to be the smartest people in the world. They they should know better.

They let it get out of hand. It's on them. And I'll also point out that When I was at a fundraiser for President Joe Biden ten days ago, AOC was. in front of the cameras. at Columbia saying how special this guy Kamani James was.

Well, you know, she's keeping bad company. It's a bad habit and the voters can see it. Who's behind E. James?

Well, he's the leader of the protesters, and uh it turns out that he wants to uh You know, he wants to murder the opposition and is uh you know Anti-Semite. Oh, yeah, it starts with a K. Katami James. That's right. Kamani James.

Yeah, and he's got a bunch of pronouns next to his name and screaming up, and he's calling for the death of the Jews. I remember that guy. Yeah, I mean, voters have had enough of that. I think voters understand what made New York great, which is the classic family values. The unions, New York was built on the back of legal immigrants who went through the process, you know, four to seven-year process, like my dad did.

to come here and build a better life. And instead, you know, it's easier to get in at the border than it is to get into your classroom at Columbia University.

Something's wacky.

So let's give you a little bit of your background, Marty. You are one of nine children, grew up on Main Street in historic Irvington, one of Westchester's smallest villages. Argentinian immigrant dad and a family medical practice there for 50 years. For you, you have studied history, avid golfer, film writer. You restore home, so you're good with your hands.

Baseball and Grateful Dead fan, not bad. What about your background? What would you bring to this seat?

So right thirty years on Wall Street that was a little different than most people think. I started out on Wall Street. as a runner, you know, m getting the quotes, that was paid forty dollars a day, okay, forty dollars a day. And you know, my big breakthrough, the the thing that got me into Harvard Business School was I took down there was a glass wall that kept the guys in the processing department, who primarily were Latino, from the traders on the trading floor. And there were some mistakes because it was very fast moving and so forth.

And so I said, let's take down the glass wall between the back office and the trading desk. And let's integrate what we're doing so that people's retirement savings are being well handled.

Well, you know, that was the right move, and that's kind of what I've stood for my whole life.

So I kept work, you know, climbing on Wall Street until finally. I was a senior banker at JPMorgan. and was involved in all the work restructuring the insurance sector after the World Trade Center attacks After Hurricane Katrina and after the global financial crisis.

So I would say. I became a very good problem solver and uh we have a lot of problems to solve now. We absolutely do.

So, Marty, thanks so much. Best of luck. If people want to give to your campaign to help oust AOC before the primary on June 25th, where do they go? They go to martydolanforcongress.com, and we thank them all for our support because we're doing this from the ground up. All right, Marty, best of luck.

I hope to see you in studio soon. Thank you very much. You got it.

1-866-408-7669. We're going to come back in a couple of minutes and be able to go with Vonnie and Company and do a simulcast. And on the other side of that simulcast, we will be able to take some calls, too. We'll talk about Christy Noam. She just interviewed them.

We'll also talk about this guy, Matt Colangelo, who's leading the prosecution right now. If you want to know what's going on in the trial, here's what's happening. Stormy Daniels Day. She is on the stand. She's confirming a little bit of her background that she has been an adult film star since her 20s.

Sooner or later, they're going to get down to the interaction with Donald Trump. And after that, they're going to try to pin the fact that he used private funds to pay her off. How she would know is beyond me. Also, I'm wondering too, out loud. Does the fact that her attorney Avenatti Who Now is in jail for evidently not giving her the money she deserves from a personal payout.

I'm not sure what payout that was. Calls there a liar and says a manipulator. And even though he disagrees with Trump, he says they're absolutely being used by Stormy Daniels and her attorney. And what happened is, just keep in mind, just to set the scene, She had fired an NDA and she got money, but she fired. She I guess she signed that after the Access Hollywood tape.

Donald Trump was trying to win an election, and the question is: did he give her an NDA and pay her off in order to win that election? You can actually do that.

Someone comes out, they don't like you personally, and you got in a fight with them in a bar, or you're in a business transaction, and that business ended bad, whether it's at Delhi or. a financial deal, whatever it is. And you could say, listen, just stay out of this. Here's the deal. Here's your money.

Just leave me alone. Let me win. Stop talking about me. And they do. You're just you're saying this like the doorman The doorman said that he had a kid out of wedlock.

It was not true, but they don't want this coming out.

So he just paid the guy. Stormy Daniel says, I'm going to come out and tell my story. He goes, here's the money. Pay the guy. to win an election or to avoid personal embarrassment.

We've heard both from the stand. From Hopex, and we heard from the COO.

So what do you think? What's this case? It's really a non-case, but having said that, I'll let you know what happens. The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead.

Hey, welcome back. In a few minutes, we're going to be on with Verney and Company. In fact, a little bit quicker than that. Um we're going to be talking about We're going to be talking about what's happening with Christy Nellman, her books out. I think it's pretty clear because of the controversy involved.

uh the controversy involved in the book and the shooting of the dog and everything like that Uh that she's out of the running, but I bet you she's somehow involved in the cabinet where she could re uh remake herself. We'll see how that goes. In fact, let me go this way. might be better. I think it looks a little better that way, don't you, Gray?

I am going my earpiece.

Okay. It's 10:51 Eastern Time on the button right now. Brian Kilmeat joins us. Governor, I'm sorry, Brian, Governor Christian Noam was on the show earlier. I asked her why she decided to include the story about killing her dog, Cricket, in her book, Roll Tape.

This was a vicious, dangerous dog that was a working dog. And I had to make a choice between the safety of my children and an animal that was killing livestock and attacking people.

So it's included because a lot of politicians run from the truth. Donald Trump is the only person who will decide who his vice president is. And I will tell you one thing: he needs somebody who will help him win. And I have told him that I have supported him from the very beginning. Brian, as you know, there was a furore when this was revealed that she'd shot her dog.

Do you think she can survive politically?

Well, it was kind of interesting. She did our show yesterday too for a half hour, and I brought it up first, and Margaret Brennan was relentless on it. And this is not an excerpt they released.

Sometimes, Stuart, you get a book and they will release excerpts ahead of time. This is not when they release.

Someone read that and thought, oh, this is going to be a huge deal. Because for people who don't grow up on ranches, especially, and people who didn't watch that old Yeller, the movie, do you remember Old Yeller gets rabies or something? And I think personally, I would have brought him to the vet. But they shot him. And this is a different story.

And I think that she thought it was going to be received differently, obviously. Her other issue was Kim Jong-un. She said she met him and she didn't meet him. She said, We're going to fix it, but she did the book on tape and read it.

So, how did she not pick that up then? And then they got the dates when it comes to her argument with Nikki Haley, but she's holding to that. And this is the last thing she wanted. She wanted to tell her story, her unique background, the success she has as a rancher, taking over from her dad, becoming a congresswoman, armed services, having that foreign affairs experience, and then coming back and running a state through a pandemic. And this is not what she wanted to have out.

I think personally, it's got to be eliminated, got to eliminate her from the VP stakes, but she'll be somewhere on the cabinet, I'm sure. You think? Oh, yeah. The political furor when this was revealed was extreme. You should see the emails that we're getting.

We've got people saying, look, we're Trump supporters, but if he picks Christian Noam as the Vice President, we're not voting for Trump. We won't do it. Yeah, maybe Secretary of the Interior or something to that, to that, you know, that would make sense. Because she can execute. We know she's good.

We know she's a leader. We just don't want her. We don't want her deciding whether our dog should live or die.

So, as bad as that was, she should never have included it. Who advised her to do that? What editor is in there? They all should pay the price for this. But it's not what she wanted.

This has been a disastrous rollout. Even if people do buy the book, they're stuck on that spot. I have two dogs now. I've always had dogs my entire life. I could not have, I hated putting them down when they had to be put down when there was no choice.

I could never imagine saying, You're untrainable. I'm going to have to shoot you. Hmm.

Okay, let's move on from this. It's day 13 of Trump's criminal trial in New York. It's underway today. The prosecutor is a former Biden Department of Justice official. And now we're learning that the Democrat National Committee paid this guy for political work back in twenty eighteen, actually for political consulting.

Brian, how come he's in New York prosecuting Trump?

Well, I'll tell you what, Stuart, I don't know what it takes to be a successful lawyer and a judge and make it up in the legal profession, but evidently he had the prime job at Joe Biden's Department of Justice, and he loses that, quits that job when Mark Palmerence writes his book and leaves the state case, Alvin Bragg's office. He takes over and says, Let me lead this. And everyone thinks to himself, Why are you leading this? It's a huge step down. It's like going from the major leagues to single A, so you could be the big one on campus.

It makes no sense. You were en route to being a starter on the Yankees. Why does this make sense? Then you look in his background. Matt Calangelo was obsessed with Trump before.

Matt Calangelo worked for Letitia James. Matt Calangelo knows that Democratic operative. He seems obsessed with Trump.

So now he comes back there to revitalize this case. But in the bigger story, that's what the president's been pointing out, former president's been pointing out. Guys, this is pure politics. This goes right back to the Department of Justice, to Joe Biden. Why is Letitia James meeting with Joe Biden and his Department of Justice?

Why is Nathan Wade in Athens, Georgia meeting with his White House Justice Department? Why is this guy doing it? Don't tell me there's no relations between the White House and the guy that wants to get back there. It's invariable. Brian, we're out of time, but thanks for being with us.

We'll see you again next week. All right, goodbye. Thanks for that. All right, good. Let's go out to Ron, listen to the Fox News Radio app over in Baltimore.

Hey, Ron. Hi, thank you. And my question is this: these people who are supporting the illegal activities on campuses and elsewhere, like George Soros and so forth. Can't they be prosecuted under federal or state RICO laws to stop them? You know, can these congressmen be be stopped and prosecuted, as you're saying?

No, the people who are funding the illegal activities are to pursue them, Ron. That's why there's got to be a change. I mean, this, Merrick Garland doesn't want to pursue the Rockefeller Foundation. He doesn't want to pursue the Tides Foundation. He doesn't want to go after Bill and Melinda.

Melinda doesn't want to go after the Gates, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. I don't know why. I mean, to me, go find out who's doing this. And the other big story in the New York Times today talked about how China, Russia, and Iran are amplifying all this campus chaos. All this unrest, the Met Gala stuff.

So they're manipulating America through social media. These guys are doing it through money and infiltrating the campuses.

So we have to use the leverage of the billions of dollars we give to these institutions to say the money stops until you straighten out your faculty, submit your curriculum to us, number one, and number two, stop taking money from these foundations and no longer let the faculty decide what you invest in. If you don't like, what your count what your college is investing in, don't go to Brown, don't go to Columbia, don't go to University of California, Santa Cruz, don't ask them to change, you pick another college. But I would love to see an investigation. Listen to Brian Kilmey Show. We're giving the latest on the New York versus Donald Trump trial.

Stormy Daniels is just asked to identify Donald Trump. Believe it or not, she could. I guess it gets better than that. Don't make a move. This is the Brian Kilmeat Show.

From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan. It's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian In Kill Mead. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kill Me Joe.

So glad you're here on this Tuesday. Gonna have a big hour coming your way. Sean Hannity will be joining us. Sean, I joined Sean on the lineup with KLIF over in Dallas. I'm in a lot of his lineups, so we thought it would be a great idea to be able to talk today.

And there's so much going on. It's perfect timing. And standing by is Senator Shelley Moore Capito with Appropriations and Transportations Committee. We're watching a few things unfold right now. Stormy Daniels on the stand, the last big witness, maybe Karen McDougal.

Uh Karen McDougall. Um, is going to be taking the stand too outside hope picks, and then, of course, Michael Cohen, these are the big guests, and they like to put the big guests in with the math guests, like the accountants, and the COOs, and the lawyers, and that's exactly what they're doing. We'll see what happens. What they're trying to prove is that Trump did this for the election. What they're trying to say is Trump was directly involved in election interference, which is a misdemeanor.

Somehow, they're going to bootstrap that and make it a national case and try to put him in jail and stop him from winning the election. That's pretty much the case. The other big story, which we're watching unfolding, is a campus chaos over at the University of Chicago today, starting at about 7 a.m., cops started moving in Eastern time. Cops started moving in to clear the encampments. Faculty showed up, students showed up.

They're trying to keep them out. It's well fortified. There was chaos last night. The Met Gala, all the celebrities showed up. The cops had to show up and keep all the activists out of there.

The anti-Israel attitude is sickening. The anti-Semitism is nauseating. Never thought it would happen here. And why we're stopping Prime Minister. To Netanyahu for allowing the IDF to go into Rafah and finishing off Hamas, I don't get it.

With me right now is Senator Capitol. Senator, welcome back. Thank you. Hey, how are you doing? Hey, happy birthday.

Oh, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Yes. Big one, huh? Yeah, that's the way I understand it.

If I look at my license, and it's correct. But, Senator, looking at right now, what's going on overseas, I'm stunned. I never thought in my lifetime weapons that Congress said Israel should be getting will be held back by our President and Secretary of State because they don't like, I guess, the battle plan to take Rafah. I don't you know, the president has been so mixed and so weak in his reaction that his only strategy seems to be don't, which nobody listens to. And so now, apparently, the DOD has decided to slow walk the weapons that Congress has said can go forward in aid to Israel because they don't like the strategy.

I just am appalled at this. I saw where Lindsey Graham came out very strongly in opposition to this. I'm sure we will be talking about it a lot this week here on Capitol Hill. I mean, you guys worked so hard to pass this money in order for Israel to kill the guy that orchestrated, scripted, and is now holding the hostages, evidently right next to him, Sinwar. And in Rafah, why would you stop Israel from finishing the job?

Because the UN doesn't like it?

Well, I think it's the political atmosphere that we find ourselves in in this country. I think the voices of opposition are the voices in the Democrat Party that would normally support President Biden. And I think you see this this Supportive his politically eroding from those folks, and I think they know it's going to be a close election, so they're willing to actually waffle on national and international policies to try to bring those people back in. And I think that's the reason that this is occurring. I think that if you see what happened with the War Council in Israel, they were unanimous.

Even the opposition folks that opposed Netanyahu were in favor of going forward into Rafah. And so I hope that the legs can get cut off from Hamas and we can then go back to the Point of rebuilding. I mean, that to me seems like it's the strategy. I mean, look, the longer this drags on, the harder it is politically for everybody. And yet, that's exactly what this administration has done.

It's held them back from going into Rafah because of the humanitarian corridors. Then they go to set up one and it gets shelled, and four Israeli fighters get killed. I think on Sunday or Monday, depending on the time change.

So they said, look, this is what happens. I set up a humanitarian corridor, and Hamas tries to blow it up. Listen to Anthony Blinken last week, cut 24. There are other ways, and in our judgment, better ways, of dealing with the real ongoing challenge of Hamas that does not involve or require a major military operation in Rafah. We've been talking to the Israelis about that.

We'll continue those conversations. Explain to me where General Blinken understands how to take out Hamas without using the military.

Well, here again, it's a weak strategy because there's no strategy for us. I mean, we need to support our allies. We need to support democracies. We need to support those nations that are trying to destroy terrorism because we know sooner or later, if it's not destroyed, not only will it be there in Israel, it will be back on our country on our shores. And so this is, I think, a long and very difficult fight to not just get rid of Hamas, but to weaken Iran.

Because Iran is all these proxies everywhere in that region. And so I think if I was observing from another country, I would say the Secretary of State and the President have no policy except don't, and we might try this, and we're going to negotiate that, and nothing ever happens. And so they have hostages, they have American hostages. You know, I think Israel knows the best way to move forward in that region. And I think we should support that.

Have you heard about an invitation to Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress? We know the Speaker wants to do it. And now it looks like Senator Schumer is going to be signing on. Can you tell us anything about that? You know, actually, you're telling me something I hadn't heard.

I think that I would certainly welcome the Prime Minister here to talk. I think it will stir up some folks, so it could get very lively. But I think if we see his firm hand in front of us, we're going to learn why and how Israel needs to proceed this way. A couple of issues I want to bring up quick: the Palestinian refugees. Why would we bring over Palestinian refugees when they spend all of their lives finding out learning how bad Jews are, how bad Israel is, not even having Israel on a map.

And we're going to bring those families over here? Is that what's in the best interest of America? I mean, the timing of this is incredible because the administration announced their intentions to possibly go in this direction in the middle of watching our university and college campuses implode over these demonstrations. And yet, you're going to reward Families of Palestinians by bringing them in when we've left interpreters in Afghanistan who risk their life for us, who are hiding from the T Taliban. That's what President Biden did.

You know, and we also have, you know, in their own region, Jordan and Egypt, they're refusing to accept Gaza refugees. This is obviously another political move by the President. Honestly, I don't think his The supporters of this will even I don't think it would change their mind one way or the other. They're never going to be satisfied. Do you believe the pro do you believe the protesters are actually demanding that?

They want to see more Palestinian refugees on their campus and more professors from the Palestinian territories on their campus? Where does that come from? I don't know. I kn I saw where I can't remember what school it was that one of the reasons one of the ways they got the protesters to stand down was to offer more scholarships to Palestinian students. And then I saw something on the Internet yesterday about one of the protesters was crying because they couldn't go to graduation.

Well, you know. Uh uh Consequences are a real thing. And if you're going to destroy a campus and engage in violent speech, And say, you know, genocide to the Jews, you're going to have a consequence. And for her, I guess, it's no graduation.

So I think these schools really, I mean, obviously, our friend Ben Sasse has come down as strong as any leader at the University of Florida, and I commend him for that. I want to bring you to something else, area of expertise, and that's energy. First off, your thoughts about the capping of leases on oil wells and on natural gas that's hurting places like Pennsylvania. And West Virginia, I imagine, in Ohio. Absolutely.

I mean, we obviously have the Marcellus Shale development in West Virginia in the region, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio. It's huge. It's huge. It's one of the largest finds ever in the world. And it's been great to power, to keep our utility bills down, to power the nation for manufacturing.

Natural gas is used for a lot of manufacturing, to export for our allies in the form of liquefied natural gas. But this administration is here again listening to the more radical elements of the environmental community who's saying shut down all of coal. They've almost killed coal completely. They're putting the final death knell on it just last week. And then they're going to make sure that you can't build a new natural gas plant, which is really where our energy security would come from, is natural gas.

Yet we're all going to drive electric cars. We're going to power AI. We're going to have data centers that are just energy consumers. And we're not going to endanger the grid. No, he's going to who the next president's going to have a big mess on his hands to try to figure this out.

So, listen, Senator Capito, what you're saying is not partisan. All you're talking is logic. When are we going to get logic back into this pie in the sky attitude of environmental awareness that stops us from using natural gas and stops abandoning allies like Japan and Eastern Europe, who we told to get off Russian natural gas, but we don't want to supply it to them because of what? The squad might get mad at them? Right.

And I think also you have to look at just the simple, very objective thought of increasing demand while you're reducing supply, what's going to happen? Prices are going to skyrocket. We can't power our nation on wind and solar. We welcome wind and solar. That's great.

But you can't build a nuclear plant because you can't get them permitted. And they are going, because of their environmental rules, are going to really prevent you from building a new gas plant. And basically, coal is gone. I mean, coal will be gone, according to this, by 2039, which kills my state. But, you know, President Obama killed it once.

This will be the second, the second just drastic pulldown of a lot of jobs and a lot of practical energy production. And what about China? Are they giving up on coal, too? No, and India hasn't either.

Now the administration would say, well, we're just pushing technology.

Well, yes, carbon capture and utilization sequestration. It's not done at a large scale. It's not proven.

So it's so expensive, billions and billions of dollars, that I think aging coal plants and probably natural gas plants will decide they just can't afford it and will shut down prematurely, which then affects the grid again. And so I don't know where this electrification is going to come from. But they don't get to part two. You know, you and I are going, okay, if this happens, then that happens. They never get to the that happens part of it.

A lot of people think that Republicans are in the perfect position to take the Senate. One will be the seat that Joe Manchin's now leaving. Do you believe this is Governor Jim Justice's to lose? I think Governor Jim Justice will be the nominee. Our primary is a week from today.

He will win that. I've endorsed him, and he will win the seat, there's no question. And so that will put take us to fifty fifty. Then we have you know, some pretty tough states in Ohio and Montana and Nevada and Michigan, Pennsylvania. But I think as people in Maryland, yes, Governor Hogan is a great, great candidate.

So we've got a lot of very competitive races. I feel good about it, but I think it's going to be a struggle. But I think people are going to look at their pocketbooks. They're going to go to the grocery store. They're going to look at the weakness of the president on this international stage and they're going to say, we can't take four more years of this.

And things were better under President Trump. I was doing better. My money was going further. I had more confidence. That's what I think when people go to the ballot box, that's what they're going to think about.

I think there's no doubt about it. The other thing is, you're going to be outraged. Democrats have done a great job. Jon Tester, Sherrard Brown, they know where the troublesome seats are, the contested seats are. The money is going to flow in.

How do you plan on battling that?

Well, I think obviously you have to have money to battle a lot of money. But I can tell you in my very first race for Congress, I was outspent seven to one. Money doesn't always win. And if you have the issues and you have the candidate, if you have the message and the messenger, you can win these races as long as you have enough to sort of stay above the fray so that you can at least be in the campaign for the length that you need to be. Our candidates will be funded enough to do that.

Democrats always outraise us, but they don't always win. And I think we have to remember that. Uh interesting. And uh Senator, how do you feel about the presidential race? And You know, it's not like you're going against John F.

Kennedy. You're dealing with a guy that has trouble speaking, trouble walking, and he's equivocating on every foreign policy decision, causing torturous war over in Ukraine, the way we left Afghanistan. You see what we just discussed with happening in Israel, and with the constant challenge of China, who is rattling the cage of Japan and the Philippines at this hour, and Taiwan doesn't have many sleepless nights. Your thought about Trump's chance of winning? I think Trump has an excellent chance to win.

I mean, he's going to roll through my state. I can tell you that. But that's no surprise. I think that I think I'll go back to my statement before. I think when people begin to think and begin to focus in, and this won't be probably until the last several weeks of October for some voters will not have made up their mind, they're going to look at their own economics, their own security.

Are our cities safe? Or have the drugs stopped coming across the border? Is the border safe? I mean, there's so many things to convince people I can't do this anymore. President Trump is the only person on this ballot that can lead us the next four years successfully.

And so I think in the end, I think he wins. I think it'll be really close. All right, Senator Capito, thanks so much for your time. All right, thank you. All right, your call is next.

Then Sean Hannity, the bottom of the hour, Brian Killmeat Show. Politics, current events, and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say. Stay with Brian Kilmead. He's so busy, he'll make your head spin.

It's Brian Killmead. These kind of protests haven't been helpful, and ironically, they are actually working against peace in the Middle East as well. And it's also very strange to me that now they're not actually protesting for a ceasefire now. And there's been a very valid ceasefire that's been on the table now, and Hamas has been refused to take that on. And I don't know why we're not, if we're going to protest thing, why aren't we protesting that, demanding Hamas to take that kind of a ceasefire?

And then that would end all of the trauma and the chaotic going on there in Gaza. Believe it or not that Senator Federman Democrat will be on with Brett tonight, but Trey Yinks is here now, fresh off his ongoing mission in Israel to tell us what's really happening in the war. He's been in and out of Gaza, and single-handedly, probably emerged as one of the best foreign reporters in the world. Trey Yinks, great to see you in person, wearing a tie. No khaki.

So you're out of the war zone. Your thoughts on what Senator Fetterman said as you see how we're handling the war here that's happening over there? There are very significant threats right now in the Middle East that are developing beyond the war in Gaza. A lot of the international focus is on Rafah. Gaza's third largest city that sits along the Egyptian border, where more than 1.4 million Palestinian civilians are currently sheltering.

The Israelis point to the fact that Hamas is still firing rockets from Rafah. They killed four Israeli soldiers just two days ago in an attack along the border at the Karim Shalom crossing that was being used to transport aid to Palestinian civilians. But the real threat when you talk to Israeli defense officials is on the northern front with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah because Hamas and Islamist Jihad had around 15,000 rockets. Hezbollah has more than 100,000, and they have precision guided missiles that have been smuggled into southern Lebanon by Iran. And why is it to Hezbollah's advantage to continue to provoke Israel?

They want to put pressure on Israel because it serves two purposes. One, it allows the Iranian regime to be directly involved in this fight, to launch attacks against Israel under the guise of a foreign policy decision that doesn't directly, at least on paper, connect to them. But everyone in the region understands where Hezbollah is getting the weapons and the directions from. That's the regime in Tehran. And the second has to do with the fact that they want to show support to the factions inside Gaza, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, that are also Iranian proxies, but just much smaller.

All right, so when we come back, Trey is going to stick with us, and then we're going to welcome in Sean Hannity. We started this week on KLIF in Dallas. Sean's also in the lineup, so we're going to talk about that and so much more. We're also giving you the latest on the Trump trial.

So don't leave. It's O'Brien Kill Me Joe. Stormy Daniels actually on the stand. Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kill Me Show.

All right, welcome back, everybody. It's my privilege to bring out Sean Hannity, the anchor here of Fox News' nighttime lineup. You'll host see him at 9 o'clock Eastern Time, but most importantly, he's in a lot of the lineups I'm lucky enough to be in, but especially the newest one, KLIF, over in over in Dallas, Texas.

Now welcome in Sean Hatter. You hear him from three to six. Hey, Sean. M mister Kilmeat, sir. Welcome to K O I F.

Great station. And yes, we are on a lot of stations together. And great to be all with you. We've been friends a long time, and there's hardly a morning I don't see your smiling face, although it's not always smiling when you and Steve are going at it. But we'll put that aside.

I'm just teasing. Love the show. You guys are crushing it. Great job. Number one cable news show in the country.

It's amazing. And though, thank you very much. Sean, I know you have other reasons for watching because you like to take notes and then you replicate a lot of those things at night. You think I'm in bed taking notes? Is that what you think I'm doing at six or seven in the morning?

I like to catch the top of the hour on one of the hours because that's when if I missed anything, I know I'm gonna get the news of the day. And I actually love the fact that you guys have. You know, great chemistry, and everybody brings in an opinion, but you also get the news of the day, which I definitely want.

So, so, Sean, you have a good sense of Texas. If you're not at the border, you're in Dallas a lot. What do the people of Texas? Want to hear. Look, if you look at the primaries so far, and you know this.

almost every state, the number one issue that showed up happened to be immigration. And I think this is probably the scariest time in history in terms of letting America's guard down. And we're compromising our national security because we have over ten million Unvetted, Joe Biden, illegal immigrants. We have tens of thousands that have come in from China and Russia, our top geopolitical foes. We have all these people coming, can you believe it, from the number one state sponsor of terrorist Iran, their satellite, Syria, Egypt, home of the Muslim Brotherhood, and Afghanistan, where ISIS-K has emerged and al-Qaeda training camps are back up and running.

And, you know, I pray to God, Brian, that I'm wrong. I don't think I am. And I've been saying it a lot, but I don't even think it's a matter, a question of if at this point. America is going to be hit again. It's going to be another 9-11, maybe worse.

And October seventh, something like that. And the fact that Joe Biden has. not only not only not enforce the laws of the country, and put these policies in place and lied to the country for three years, saying the border's secure and the border's closed. But he's actually been aiding and abetting in the lawbreaking and putting this insane financial burden on the American people and hurting towns and cities all around the country. They cannot afford what Joe Biden is allowing to happen.

We're now it's the biggest national security risk we face. The last four times Director Ray of the FBI has gone before Congress, he has said it has never been this loud, meaning the intelligence, and it's never been this bad. And that should scare everybody in Dallas and everywhere, everybody in flyover country, as we call it, everybody from New York to LA, New York to San Francisco, because something horrible is going to happen and he's going to have blood on his hands. And I'll take it a step further. You know, for all the people, for all the crimes that are committed, especially violent crimes.

Against Americans by Joe Biden's unvetted illegal immigrants. I blame him. Maybe the idea that Joe Biden apologizes for using the term illegal immigrant. And didn't apologize to the family of Lake and Riley, it still irritates the hell out of me. I've spoken to that young girl's family.

I've talked to them. This family will never be the same again, and that's something that should never happen in this country.

So it's interesting, Sean. You call him up, say not for an interview, just because you care. Sean Hannity, the one advantage I have over you is I'm at the 1211 building early. And I get a chance to have great drop-in guests.

Sometimes I spot them on the screen, whether it's Fox Business, Fox News, Fox Weather, somebody. And then other times they come back from Israel and they'll know to wear a tie because I have a dress code. They'll put away the war zone. You're never getting me on your show. But how about Trey?

That ain't happening. I know, Show. I finally got rid of it after 26 years. I'm not going back. I know.

You're in Florida. But you know who isn't? Trey Yinks.

Well, no, I got rid of it long before Florida, Brian. But by the way, just because I live in Florida, my life has not changed. I work just as much as I did in New York, but I don't have to worry about the lunatics that were marching all over the streets of New York last night like you do.

So, Trey Yinks has got to worry about rockets. From Hezbollah and Hamas, he's in studio Sean Salo to the world's best foreign reporter. Trey, uh We don't get a lot of time to talk privately, but I will tell you, I really admire everything you do. You're in a war zone. You're putting your life at risk.

We saw what happened to our colleague Benjamin Hall. You know the danger. You know the risk. You do it anyway. You're great at it.

And, you know, Godspeed and thank you for all your hard work and all your risk-taking to help inform Fox viewers of what's really going on. Thank you. Thank you, Sean. I appreciate it. So, Trey, I was just asking about the biggest story right now in the world.

Is Israel going into Rafah, regardless that we're holding back their weapon, their latest weapon shipment? And Trey, you believe? Absolutely. The Israelis are going to go into Rafah, and it may be a limited operation to put new pressure on Hamas to release the remaining hostages that are still held by the group inside Gaza. And the weapon shipments, when it comes to the Americans, the decisions that have been made recently are based on politics.

They're not based on policy. Because when we look at what the Israelis need bombs and bullets for, it's not the operation in Rafah. Rafah is a relatively small city inside Gaza, and it's filled with civilians right now. There are certainly pockets of Hamas that are still operating there. But the Israelis need these weapons for what they believe is going to be a direct conflict on a broader scale with Iran's largest proxy in the region, Hezbollah.

Sean, you backed that up? Yes, look, well, my understanding is the Rafa incursion has already begun. We saw a lot of action there last night. Um what is very, very disappointing to me and it I'm disappointed with Joe Biden on a lot of issues. is, frankly, I would argue he surrendered in the war on terror.

What happened on october the seventh, nearly 1,200 Israelis were slaughtered. It was the worst terror attack in their history. Based on their population compared to our population, that would have been the equivalent of 40,000 Americans being killed in a single day, 8,000 Americans being kidnapped in a single day and taken out of the country. And the fact that the leader of the free world has capitulated to pressure from the radicals that now run his party that we see all over these college campuses, and that he's concerned about losing their votes. And his political ambition is more important than the moral clarity of standing against radical Islamic terrorism, especially after we, you know, I don't know if you saw the 49-minute tape I have, where you see the atrocities.

You see what they did. They were burning people alive. They were raping people, and it's on video. They were beheading people, including small babies. Rape, murder, torture, kidnapping.

Men, women, children, babies. And you know, the fact that the United States is not standing tall with Israel in solidarity. uh letting them win their war on terrorism. is unconscionable to me. Israel did stand with us after nine eleven.

We lost two thousand nine hundred seventy seven Americans that day, and they never abandoned America, nor did they lecture America about They've got about showing restraint in how we're going to fight our war on terror. And if America is not going to stand against radical terrorists, what what do we stand for? If America is going to abdicate its role as the leader of the free world, what does that say about us? And by the way, they're not asking for boots on the ground, nor should we be offering boots on the ground. You know, if anything, they only want to pay for the weapons, right?

That the replenishment of weapons that they're asking for. Are they surprised? Chuck Schumer's out there calling for elections. Nancy Pelosi is saying, never give them any military aid at all. This Democratic Party.

has lost its center, its conscience, and its soul. And I'm sorry, I blame the it's been taken over by the radicals in that party. Joe Lieberman recently passed away. He was a dear friend of mine. And honestly, this is not the party that he was once a part of.

He was a genuine moderate Democrat. That is an extinct species in Washington now. This is a radicalized leftist Marxist movement. And that's what is at stake in one hundred eighty one days. And I'm not that worried about Texas.

However, The people of Texas, you mentioned KLIS, They've got to be aware that hundreds of millions of dollars is being poured into that state by Democrats to turn it blue. And they're targeting Ted Cruz like they did six years ago when he was up against Beto O'Rourke, Bozo.

So, a couple of things. Senator Fetterman seems to be the old school Democrat. Who heard a thought? But, Trey, what Sean was saying, how is it playing in Israel? Are they stunned by what they're seeing?

The Israelis are certainly surprised. And based on the sources that I'm talking to in the Defense Department there and also intelligence sources that are dealing with Israel and the movement of weapons and specifically air defense as it relates to recent events, they point to the attack by Iran. Just last month, we were there on the ground in Israel watching as hundreds of ballistic missiles. and drones were launched toward Israel from Iranian territory. And Israel was under Fire from so many different directions, they had to use their most advanced weapon systems.

We talk often about the Iron Dome. That is their lowest tier system, but they had to implement David Sling and the advanced arrow system to go to the edge of the atmosphere and shoot down these ballistic missiles. And then the real question is what comes next. And anyone who's been following the developments out of the region and the actions by Israel's largest enemy, the Iranians in Tehran. They point to Iran's nuclear program.

a program that is rapidly expanding. Do you Iranians are getting closer and closer to weapons grade Uranium, and they are placing Israel in a position where they will have to prepare. A defense against a nuclear weapon. And we're very close to that. The breakout period is anywhere between one to two weeks at this point.

And they've proven just last month they have the missile capability to get a warhead to Israel if they desire. And that changes everything, Sean, right? Listen, this is now a critical moment for the world, and the world better be really paying attention here. One of the accomplishments of Donald Trump that nobody really seems to talk about is he was able to cobble together a coalition that I frankly Prior to Trump, never thought we would see in our lifetime. And it was a coalition of the US and Israel and Jordan and the Saudis and the Emirates and Egypt, all standing together, sharing intelligence.

in a relationship to to isolate and stand against Iranian hegemony in the region. Trey mentioned their breakout time. The IAEA is saying weeks at this particular point.

Now one thing that did that I found very, very revealing for the first time ever instead of using their proxies, Hezbollah in Lebanon or Hamas in Gaza or the Houthi rebels out of Yemen, Iran decided to fire their missiles directly into Israel. And what was really interesting is what 99% didn't make it there, that they were able to take them all down with some assistance, which, by the way, was minimal as far as I'm concerned. But important. But I think the bigger part of the story is when Israel did, in spite of pressure from the administration not to retaliate and, quote, take the win, as Joe Biden was telling Prime Minister Netanyahu, when they decided to retaliate against the Iranians, what really was very interesting to me is how deeply Israel was able to penetrate into Iranian territory and even Targeting right next to one of those sites. The military challenge.

going against the Iranians as the large landmass that represents the country of Iran and the fact that they have buried these nuclear facilities deep underground. In my mind, I think any effort to take out those sites would probably we'd probably need an American president that would be willing to kind of pave the way, use big bunker buster bombs so those facilities can be prepared to be taken out. I think it's going to be a big military operation, but I think Israel showed that their airspace is beyond penetrable, and that would be a good thing. It's a moment of opportunity for the world if they want to do the right thing and prevent what would be a disaster. In my opinion, if the Iranian mullahs get nuclear weapons, they'll use them.

But that's what converter die means to them. Yeah, I hear you. Sean, thanks so much, man. Honor being on in KLAF with you and across the country. And I'll watch tonight at 9.

Trey, will you watch? Absolutely, and Sean makes a great point. When you talk about the Israeli response, they were looking to send a message to the Iranians. They have the ability to strike their nuclear facilities if they decide to do so. And I'll just leave you with what one source in Israel told me.

Following the Iranian attack against Israel, That source said to me in Tel Aviv across the table. Remember when the Iranians were threatening the Americans and the Israelis in 2020? The administration then took out their top general, Qasem Soleimani, outside of Baghdad's international airport. This administration told them, don't. There's a clear difference in the way that these governments and are approaching the foreign policy.

Well, I'm worried we're not going to have another president until January 20th, and that's assuming that Donald Trump wins in 181 days. Trouble for a lot of allies in the Middle East, especially. Sean Hannity, thanks so much. Have a great show tonight. All right, I assume he said yes.

Trey, great to see you. Fantastic. Glad you're safe. A couple more minutes when we come back with Trey Yanks. Don't move.

From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmead. A couple more minutes. We're watching the President of the United States give his anti-Semitism speech at the Holocaust Museum. It's a big event to commemorate. Commemorate and stop anti-Semitism.

Sadly, it's raging in this country. Trey Yanks, your thoughts about people in Israel watching this right now, Absolutely. And when you look at more moderate voices who have observed this conflict. and the massacre on October 7. They raise one important question, and it's a question we all should be asking.

Why can two things not be true at once? We often talk about the civilian casualty rate in Gaza, and we should. It is significant continues to rise. What's real? It is thousands.

And even Israeli officials, both publicly and privately, say if the number is 30,000 being given by the Palestinian Health Ministry, that is partially run by Hamas, they believe 10,000 plus of that number. Are militants, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, some of the smaller organizations, but there are certainly tens of thousands of civilians, women, and children who have died amid this war. What's important, though, we can talk about that. We also need to talk about what's happening here in the United States, the hatred on college campuses. We need to talk about the threats that face Israel from a variety of proxies that are all backed by Iran.

That's part of our role as journalists on the ground, to talk about it all and let people understand that this is a conflict that is decades old. It's incredibly complex, and there are many people involved. And those people with masks on the streets, I don't think you're close to understanding the complexity of it. It's just not an easy issue. Take some time, study it before you come out with it.

Trey Yanks, thanks so much. Absolutely. Thank you. Hey, it's Clay Travis. Join me for Outkick the Show as we dive deep into a mix of topics, new episodes available Monday to Friday on your favorite podcast platform, and watch directly on outkick.com forward/slash watch.
