Panic in the White House? Aids report signs of Biden "slipping"

From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmead. Welcome to the latest minutes of the Brian Kilmey Show.

So glad you're here. It's one of those weeks where, all right, keep those plates spinning. We're going to try to cover it all while giving you perspective on what is happening. Congressman John James will be with us shortly. Found interesting to talk to the Congressman because he was almost the senator from Michigan and he finally won.

It's a very tight every race is tight in Michigan. And I just talked to Mike Rogers yesterday and you know he's trailing by two or three, but this thing has yet to be fought and he doesn't officially even have the nomination yet.

So I can't, that's going to go to the very last minute. It's going to be, might even be the tipping point when it comes to the Senate.

So we'll take your calls too. In between them, we're watching the Hunter Biden trial get underway shortly, too.

So let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. The simple truth is. there is a worldwide migrant crisis. And if the United States doesn't secure our border, there's no limit to the number of people may try to come here.

Because there's no better place on the planet than the United States of America. I would love those comments if it was 2021. And I would say, good, Mr. President, you have a pretty much sealed border. But it's 2024, and you've left this thing wide open.

And now you're saying it's because of a worldwide Migration crisis? My goodness. Nice try. Joe blames Trump for the broken border and then makes a confusing effort to try and fix it. What he did, what he said, and the fallout.

Number two. We have to remember that 51 very, very senior CIA officers, former CIA officers, said this was a Russian disinformation operation, which clearly and obviously it was not. Right. What's going to stop, you know, people talking about President Trump? Who's going to get him to tell the truth?

How about President Biden's lie when it comes to the laptop? And that's what John Kirakow, the FBI, was talking about. Hunter's ugly, embarrassing past, front and center, as his ill-advised book and lost laptop combined to bury him and his family. And worst is yet to come. Why I believe he already lost, regardless of the verdict.

Number one. I mean, he appears very much as he appears on TV. He is older than when he started in office. He didn't pause when we asked him about it. He came back pretty fast.

I didn't get the sense that he was troubled by it.

Well, he was talking about age. Age and Biden. Disastrous Time magazine feature exposes President Biden's record, his recall, the horror of what a second term would look like, in my view, as Donald Trump heads west for money and his allies head to Philly for black votes. And I'm talking about Wesley Hunt, Congressman from Texas. I'm talking about the Congressman from Florida, Byron Donalds.

President, I just love it. And I think all candidates should try for everybody. Don't tell me, Republicans, I'm staying out of the city. You should not stay out of rural communities if you're a Democrat. If you're trying to represent people in all states, especially these purple states, go everywhere.

And Trump realizes that. Why? Because if he ends up with 20% of the black vote, there's almost no way that Donald Trump can win. Evidently, he's corralling a whole lot of men. Women are harder to get for the former president, and we'll see if Joe Biden's got a plan to get them back or put them back in his column.

So, where do we start? Let's start with the Time magazine article.

So after Donald Trump two weeks ago, three weeks ago did a story, What If He Wins, they talked about what he would do. And some people thought it was controversial that he's going to round up illegal immigrants into a camp and send them away in an organized fashion.

Well, for the most part, Donald Trump really didn't talk about retribution. He said, Victory will be my retribution. Everyone's trying to see if Donald Trump is going to try to get even. They want to write that story quickly. They want to broadcast that story about revenge or avenging and make Donald Trump seem small.

I think it's gonna work this time. Like I don't think it's going to work this time, even though it's going into the debate that he's going to try to sell the American people that Joe Biden's strong on the border. He broke it worse than anyone else in our history, and it's got to be intentional. No one's this incompetent. But what's happened over the last few days between the Hunter Biden story and outlining what a troubled home life he has and how troubled his son was, the rest of his family was, if you read Ashley Biden's or is he excerpts from Ashley Biden's Um Journal that was stolen.

You got some problems over there. You want to compare that family to Donald Trump's? Do it any time. Those kids know tattoos, they don't drink, they don't do drugs, all they do is work. You might not like their points of view, but that's not the point.

If you're looking for the pro-President of the United States, you know where he is. He's over in Normandy. Where a minute after he landed, which was 7 o'clock our time, which would be his time, they put a lid on it.

So he is not even available. He's not available to do any events, even to be doesn't talk to the press. But if he does, He wouldn't be available. That to me is unbelievable. You have one hundred and ten year old people who landed at D Day going back with nurses in order to re experience this moment.

Then you have a President of the United States who lands and puts a lid on it. But what did Time magazine say?

Well, and what do the Wall Street Journal say? Will Time magazine on the cover what if he wins in Joe Biden leaning over.

Well, one of the questions was. How about this? The last two years of a President's two term tenure, are you unusually focused on foreign policy? This is a question to the Foreign President. You're eighty one years old and would be eighty six by the time you left office.

Large majorities of Americans, including the Democratic Party, tell pollsters They think you are too old to lead. Could you really do this job at 85 years old? Biden's answer: I could do it better than anybody else. You're looking at me, I can take you. I assume he was kidding.

But doesn't that sound like some insane thing your crazy uncle says during Uh Easter. Did you consider not running again? They asked the President because of your age. No, I didn't. Time magazine.

And what do you say to Americans who are worried about it? Watch me. He always says that. And the thing is, Mr. President, it didn't work when you said it in 2019, and it really doesn't work now.

We watch you walk, we watch you try to leave the stage. You know, sometimes people do a knee or they got arthritis. No one holds it against you. FDR in a wheelchair. We understand that.

But Fdr doesn't say watch me. You have a guy that watches you and people say, I cannot believe this guy now uses the baby stairs leaving Air Force One. They don't even allow you to shoot, don't even allow him to walk alone across the White House lawn because he looks so old. This is what I think is most telling. When all of you wrote Time Magazine, I couldn't get it done.

This is what he says to Time Magazine. When you told me there's no p no way, no way, no way you can get a trillion-dollar bill. done in terms of to deal with infrastructure. when there's no way you can get a three hundred sixty four billion dollar deal for dealing with the environment. And there's no way I could get the legislation passed on.

I remember when I was heading to Taiwan, excuse me, in South Korea to reclaim the chips industry. We had gotten $865 billion in private sector investment, private sector investment, since I've been in. Name me a President who's done that.

Now What's telling is next? Because they ask him about inflation. And when they ask him about inflation. They say, you know, it's up 20% from when you took office.

Now I don't have to be Larry Cudlow. Or Steve Mnuchin? To understand. His bragging on the trillion-dollar bill. The $368 billion bill.

The other Inflation Reduction Act bill. That plays into inflation. When you spend money we don't have and you print it to make it happen, people start spending. And the only way to get it inflation under control is to raise interest rates.

So you got high rates, you can't buy a house. Your credit cards are now more expensive. Your monthly payments are now up if you're in an adjustable rate. Your mortgage is now up. Your student loans are now up.

And at the same time, you're bragging that you paid this money for environmental causes we don't a lot of people like me don't think is needed. The transition to electric cars, I don't want to subsidize. I actually want to use fossil fuels, I want to drill, I would like to responsibly be able to do those things to keep money down. But you're bragging about the things that are hurting America most. And when asked why that is, He says The reason why this is happening to Americans, corporations in America are ripping off the public now.

You have everything from shrinkflation, what's going on in terms of the way in which they're officially moving significantly to increase I'm reading him in verbatim. I don't talk like this. He does. Getting on in terms of the way in which they're artificially moving significantly to increase their profits. That's not the same as inflation.

That's price gouging. There is no proof of price gouging. I don't stand up for corporate America, but they usually support him to sit there and tell supermarket owners that they're responsible for the prices being high, to tell people at Costco who run the place, you're keeping prices too high in Walmart and Kmart and everything else like that, to walk into a Any type of food store and blame the guy in charge with the name tag on is insane. And there's you can't just go blaming people because we know it's not true. They they do things to make a profit, to stay in business in our society.

These are not non profits. But why would you gouge people who are already being taxed and are altering their shopping patterns? Just think about how capitalism works. Does he actually even understand that?

So meanwhile the president of the former President of the United States keep his head down. Goes out to the West Coast to raise more money. He's won the last two months. I didn't think it was possible to do that.

Now, I haven't even gotten to the Wall Street Journal article, and I'll get to that. But they talk to 45 people that have been in around the president of late, and they talk to him when he's like behind closed doors, and they paint a really ugly picture. They talk about a guy at the table during the Ukraine aid, sitting there reading note cards. And the only thing he would do when asked to contribute was pass it on to somebody else as if he was totally detached. One time, while he was answering a question, he closed his eyes so long, most everyone in the room thought he was asleep.

And he was talking so low, no one could even make out what he was saying.

Now, 45 people, including Democratic leaders and Democratic lawmakers, were in these meetings. They were called back when the White House found out who they talked to. The Wall Street Journal writer, to his credit, was cooperative and said, Yeah, I talked to Gregory Meeks and I talked to this. They called back and said, Well, other times he's really engaged. It's a disaster.

No one's talking about his ridiculous border reform. They're talking about the Time magazine story, and they're talking about the Wall Street Journal column. Mike Barnacle trying to attack those who attacked Biden on MSNBC, of course, cut six. This piece is so tilted, so off the mark. Is he 81 years old?

Yes. Is he a bit slower in terms of his reactions to some things? Probably. That I don't know. We don't know.

I do know, Richard, and you've talked to people, I'm sure, who have been with him in national security meetings. I've been with people who have been with him in this situation room where he literally goes around the globe on the chart in the situation room. I've never been in there, but electronically, and points out the weaknesses and the strengths of the United States relationships with each and every country that he's talking about with no notes. With no notes. He's an 81-year-old president of the United States who gets up every day.

He's got to deal with Bibi Netanyahu in the morning, Ukraine, about 10 minutes later. His son is on trial. His son is an addict. on his mind all the time. This piece is outrageous.

Why? Why is it outrageous? I don't think he is doing a good job of the Prime Minister of Israel. In fact, in the column they asked him, is it possible, I'll paraphrase, that B. B.

Netanyahu is extending this war for his own political fortunes because he knows when the war ends there'll be an election? He says that's quite possible. Because there were protests happening right before the October 7th attack that were threatening his leadership. I don't I just don't think there's Very few things more insulting to an ally that you can say than you want your people to die so you stay in office. Because the IDF is losing people.

It's not just Palestinians and Hamas that are dying. The hostages are being tortured.

Some aren't surviving. Most are dead. Because Benjamin Netanyahu wants to be stayed Prime Minister? Are you kidding? He tried to walk it back later, but I don't buy it.

I mean, people who say that, uh that's beyond cynical. That's almost bloodthirsty. I don't care who dies as long as I keep this job, which he's had longer than anybody else in Israel history. When we come back, I'll be able to squeeze in some calls. I'll talk a little bit more domestically, give you an idea what's happening to Hunter Biden's trial.

As I mentioned in the open, I think he lost already. I'll expand on that. And before you call Donald Trump a liar and he expands the truth, and you know, obviously there's some things he said that don't turn out to be true.

Okay, gotcha. Understood. But just understand about the big things, you got a huge problem with the President of the United States telling the truth. And the reason, one of the reasons he got the job is they were able to marginalize that laptop and all his international business dealings and his role in it. When he looked into that camera and said on debate day, and I have the tape, I'll play it next, on debate day with Donald Trump.

Fifty-one Intel experts said this is classic Russian disinformation when they know damn well it was his crack adult son. What else is he lying about?

From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmead. Today Biden is on the cover of Time magazine. I believe that it is brave for Biden to do this cover because he's side by side with his nemesis, Time. That was a great line, and it was somewhat. Damaging.

I know. Evidently the Biden people are just beside themselves because they wanted everything to be about the border, and maybe that's part of the reason why he has the lid on early. He landed at seven in the morning Eastern time, which is twelve there. Why would you not Be up. You uh you're on a five-hour ride on Air Force One, you're not resting at all.

But they always do this. This isn't atypical for Biden. I mean, they call Lids early all the time. I know, but D Day celebration in France, so many ceremonies, so many troops to meet. Such a great photo op for a president, don't you think?

I mean, yeah, a a n president with of like a normal age and might not need the extra rest. Right, does he have a full schedule for tomorrow when he's in France that he needs to rest up for? I don't know, you know, not that I know. I mean, he obviously is not giving many interviews.

So, that Time magazine story, the writer was on with Jake Tapper last night. And they talked about the biggest story, and that is his age and Challenging him to a fight, cut one. I mean, he appears very much as he appears on T V. He is older than when he started in office. It's visible if you just look side by side on the tape.

The transcript is a good place for people to go to assess that. When it came up, did you get the sense that he takes the concerns about his age from according to polls? A majority of the American people, including Democrats, seriously. Yeah, he didn't pause when we asked him about it. He came back pretty fast.

I think, you know, to some degree that may be a stock answer. I didn't get the sense that he was troubled by it.

I mean, he's got to get used to it by now, and he's keep saying the other guy is just as old. But did you see the other guy? Donald Trump may confuse Obama and Biden once in a while, and they tried to in the Wall Street Journal story, balance it out with some mistaken identities that Trump has had. Do I really have to tell you that Donald Trump's got energy? He sits through that trial like he did the next day.

He does a two hour interview with Fox and Friends. He does another interview, golfs eighteen holes, and then goes to the UFC event until twelve o'clock at night in New Jersey and then flies back to Florida. Where he does fundraisers. Come on, you can't even compare the two. Age is not a factor.

I'm telling you right now that if Donald Trump was running against somebody fifty or sixty, they wouldn't be bringing up age because it doesn't matter. And I bring up James Clyburn, they're asking him to fly around the country and be a surrogate to try to get the black vote. For Joe Biden, I think he's older than Joe Biden. And I mentioned Ben Cardin, Democrat, too. Ben Cardin is older than Joe Biden.

It's just how they act. That's the story. That that is the real story. But one thing is the Wall Street Journal story is something else I encourage everyone to look at.

So they talk to people over the course of months about what he's like behind closed doors, because we keep hearing things about what he's like behind closed doors.

So We find out, too, that behind closed doors, he's forgetting things. He broke into one story while they were talking about Ukraine. And he brought them some story about how he met the DuPonts when he was at the University of Delaware. He said it twice in the same meeting. Really?

One longtime Democratic strategist also brought up that in terms of foreign policy, it's a problem for Joe Biden. Because he loses with the American people. with his foreign policy. The quote is: foreign policy is a problem because it undermines the central tenet of his 2020 candidacy. When he said he would restore America abroad and return us to normalcy, Does anyone think we're restored abroad as he cuts the defense budget, is invisible in the South China Sea, abandons Israel?

A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Welcome back, everybody. We have a lot going on today in following the Hunter-Biden trial. We're looking at the aftermath of yesterday's Merrick Coralin hearings.

Well, following the aftermath of These two big Titanic, big bad stories for, I think, Joe Biden, the Time magazine story and the Wall Street Journal column that talked about over the course of the last few months. Talk to 45 people about what is he like behind closed doors and doesn't paint a positive picture. Congressman John James. Successful businessman, great military man. He's on the Foreign Affairs Committee, Energy and Commerce Committee.

He's a Republican study group. Congressman, welcome back. Thanks for having me, Brian. Appreciate it. First off, Congressman, your thoughts about yesterday's border bill, where the President says, thanks to my executive order, we're going to shut down the border.

There are over 2,500 people trying to enter the country separate from the ports of entry, which means shut it down right away. They've already passed that threshold. What do you think about this? Yeah. Fire-in-Chief strikes again under Biden, approximately 10 million illegal border crossings since Biden took office.

Over $13 billion in annual profits for cartels who are in control of our border, not the American government. two hundred fifty thousand dead of fentanyl poisoning Americans. And worse yet, Lake and Riley, Ruby Garcia and so many more precious Americans killed by illegal immigrants. But but Joe Biden is more concerned with with with With keeping his seat and protecting his job than keeping Americans safe. I think that's a travesty, which is why we impeach Majorkis and which is why the American people are going to hold Joe Biden accountable in November.

Yeah, we'll see. Right now, the polls are really close, but in your state, in Michigan, maybe Minnesota, in Wisconsin, that will decide the election. And I know how close your election was, the ones that you lost, even the ones that you won. Everything's so tight there. What's changed from 2020 to 2024?

Yeah. the American people get to see They get to compare. They get to compare one against the other. They get to compare a more secure border with things like the Remain in Mexico policy under Trump, with a wide open border, with over 7.5 apprehensions just on the southern border alone, with millions more who've gotten in that we don't know about. We're looking at over 500 in the FBI terror watch list who've gone on through this country, and 84% of those are crossing on the northern border.

People see that every state is a border state. Every town is a border town. It's affecting safety and the well-being of every American. You're looking at Joe Biden and his Democrat elites. who can weather the storm of inflation, but normal people are paying an average of $12,000 more per year for essential items.

Energy costs up 30%. People are feeling inflation, and Joe Biden doesn't seem to care. When you look at international chaos, we were sold a bill of goods by Joe Biden and his allies at They would be that steady hand to restore respect. all over the world, but the exact opposite has happened. We are absent in the South China Sea.

We have Jews being killed and attacked by. Amas. and Hezbollah and the Houthis, and we have Russia running rough shot all over the world. We absolutely are less safe. It's open season on America under Joe Biden, and the Americans have a choice.

I think they're going to go back to Trump. I know, I hope so. Let's be honest. It's not even close. I mean, this guy can't do the job, and his performance has been absolutely awful.

And the reason why Barack Obama won is because they made Mitt Romney unelectable. That's what they're going to try to do to Donald Trump. And Joe Biden was doing that yesterday. He is trailing, when it comes to border security, he has 33 percent approval rating, and he trails the president by 11 points in who's better on the border. Listen to him, cut 21.

Four months ago, After weeks of intense negotiation between my staff and Democrats and Republicans, We came to a clear clear bipartisan deal. It was the strongest border security agreement in decades. But then Republicans in Congress, not all, but walked away from it. Why? Because Donald Trump told them to.

He told the Republicans, it has been published widely by many of you, That he didn't want to fix the issue, he wanted to use it. to attack me. That's what he wanted to do. It was a cynical. and a s extremely cynical political move.

and a complete disservice to the American people who are looking for us to not to weaponize the border but to fix it. Is that true? There was a border bill, bipartisan bill, and Donald Trump didn't want you guys to sign it. Look, I I'm in Congress and I can tell you Point blank, Republicans in Congress have been leading. This was our number two priority, H.R.

2. But only behind HR 1, our energy independence, which is crucial to our national security. H.R. 2 is the Secure Our Borders Act. Look it up.

We passed it. last May. Last May, we passed a border bill. And Chuck Schumer is ignoring it. Joe Biden, I mean, frankly, this is the same man who's too incompetent to stand trial.

And we we believe him? I mean, behind closed doors, Democrats know he's slipping. And w we're we're putting this this this uh this mental health patient up for president. It's unconscionable. The fact of the matter is, Republicans have led on this issue back when Democrats called us racist and xenophobic for wanting to secure our border and for wanting to stand up to what the Chinese are doing to our jobs.

And now Democrats are coming because they see Joe Biden is at risk at the polls, and now they're throwing some tokens at it. And they're blaming Donald Trump, a man who's been out of office for three and a half years. And don't forget that Democrats had a trifecta in this town, Nancy Pelosi in the House, Chuck Schumer in the Senate, and Joe Biden in the White House for two years, as they repealed all of the strong border policies that Donald Trump put into place. And then now, while we are in a thin majority, the only line of defense against insanity.

Now they still have the White House and the Senate, and they still want to blame Donald Trump and Republicans. We are not that dumb. They think we're stupid. Republicans have consistently brought solutions to secure our borders, and Joe Biden is in the eleventh hour trying to save his seat.

So while you guys say, I'm not buying it, I see election ploy, listen to those on his left. They are not happy, he's even bringing it up. Cut 26. I don't think this is the right move. This is not going to solve the problem at the southern border.

I don't think we've seen harsh enforcement policies ever do that. What does it is other things, some of which the President has been doing, creating legal pathways. What we really need are more legal pathways, reforms to our immigration system as it relates to anybody who's trying to come into the border.

So they're upset, they want more pathways for more people to come in. Do you believe this? Yeah, I I th I wish we could run um our vehicles and And uh our houses on liberal tiers. because they seem to be very renewable. energy sources.

It seems like everything that makes logical, rational sense, the Libs on the left propose some wonky policy that cannot work that will further put Americans behind the eight ball. We absolutely must secure our border. Border security is a national security. And we need to make sure that we do that first before we consider anything else. It just amazes me, too, that the president, you almost feel bad for him.

He finally gets tough on the border after three and a half years, and he's losing his entire left. In fact, you have this student group that is for progressive causes, one of the biggest in the country. They refuse to endorse the president, even though he put billions into these environmental issues that technology is not ready for. It's cost using a ton of money, more and oil and gas production. But let's move on and talk about something else if we can.

And that is not only what's happening at the border, but what's happening with 2024. Byron Donalds and Wesley Hunt heading into Philadelphia to work for the former president to try to get out the black vote. John James, as a person of color and as a Republican, As one of the few Republican, black Republicans out there, how much progress needs to be made? And how do you do it?

Well First, Byron and Wesley are are both great friends of mine, and I wish them the best of luck. Um Like I've said to President Trump himself in the Oval Office when he asked, because you know the President does ask questions, he does listen. I said, mister President, we cannot expect or return where we have not made an investment. And for so many years. While the Democrat Party has neglected the black vote, the Republican Party hasn't even tried.

Well, under Donald Trump, that's changing. Under Donald Trump, the first investment that Republicans have made are in policies that will make our nation safer, will make our streets safer. that will provide more educational options for parents.

so their children can have better futures. That will provide more entrepreneurial options for workers. That will help African Americans and all people, frankly, live better lives. And people are beginning to see this. They recognize that Democrats are playing with their emotions.

And they propose no solutions other than what you see out there. They're campaigning on abortion and they're campaigning on Trump, and they don't have solutions for the problems that face everyday Americans. They are concerned with their own reelection and they're concerned with the vote, not actually improving the lives of African American people and all people. And we are out there saying that we are going to show up in the community. We are going to start with policies that work.

We are going to put money back into your pocket and we are going to make sure that you yourself can take ownership and have the resources to provide a better life to pursue happiness. These are the policies and these are the solutions that we're bringing forward. And I'll tell you what, immigration is another great issue for Republicans to show that investment in African Americans. When you have people who are coming across in droves by the millions and they're getting their cell phones paid for, they're getting their food paid for, they're getting their shelter paid for. That's more access to resources African Americans in the neighborhoods have had for 400 years.

And you talked to Charlemagne the God last week, and he said the exact same thing. These aren't just black issues. These are American issues, and Donald Trump and Republicans have been talking about it for years, and African Americans and all people are beginning to wake up to the Democrat ploys.

So Charlemagne did tell me that he doesn't believe the numbers. You know, right now I've not seen one poll without the president getting between 20 and 25 percent of the black vote, mostly males. And I told him that, I say, I don't believe the numbers. I'll have to see it after November. Do you believe the numbers?

Well, that's fair. I mean, uh the only poll that matters is Election Day. Um but uh uh that's why we have to keep working. I I don't the only numbers I believe or after the votes. And so that means that Republicans can't take anything for granted.

We have to run through the tape. We have to vote absentee. We have to vote however is legal. We have to absolutely swamp them. We have to leave no doubt, no doubt whatsoever, that we have a mandate from the people to take power away from DC and give it back to the people in the neighborhoods.

We need to have a clear mandate that this is the direction the people want. And I absolutely believe if we make that case to the American people, that we will form a government that trusts them. Then I absolutely believe they will give us a shot to continue earning their trust to lower inflation, to secure our borders, and to bring back sanity to our world. Right. Congressman John James, thank you.

Lastly, just your gut feeling on how much Mike Rogers has to do to be successful in the Senate race is about two or three points off. Slotnick is up on him. He's the likely nominee. If he was to ask your advice, and I hope he would, what would you tell him? I was don't miss a chicken dinner.

Um On turnout. We need a Republican in that seat in the state of Michigan. And we were a hair away in 2020. But focusing on 2024 is is what we need to do to move our state and our country into the future. All right, there you go.

Congressman John James, thanks so much. He's out of Michigan. He's looking for two more years. He's likely to get it. Go get him, John.

Yes, sir. All right, 1-866-408-7669. When we come back, I'll give you more on what the Wall Street Journal editorial wrote if you haven't read it yet, and bring you the latest on the Hunter Biden trial, as well as go over some Merrick Garland clashes yesterday. He came ready to fight. But did his answers suffice?

I'll let you decide. Don't move. The fastest growing talk show in America. You're with Brian Kilmead. show like no other.

It's Brian Killmead. I am sort of actually embarrassed for the Wall Street Journal with this piece. And there's one, at least to me and others. Anyone who has spent any time at all with Joe Biden knows one thing about Joe Biden above all else. He's a talker.

So here's the tell in this piece. With Ukraine running out of munitions, the White House called together top lawmakers to discuss what it would take to get congressional funding, along with the scope of border security changes demanded by Republicans. The president moved so slowly around the cabinet room to greet the nearly two dozen congressional leaders. That it took about 10 minutes for the meeting to begin.

Some people who attended recalled. Two dozen people around a table, and it took them 10 minutes to go around. I'm amazed that it didn't take them an hour. Everyone he meets, he has 10 minutes to talk to them about. Everyone.

So this was a classic, classic hit piece. It's not a classic hit piece, 45 people. Talking about the Ukraine, you see the way he reads cards all the time. You see, he's not conversant in it, and you have this Democratic person who said there's nobody in that room that would not be embarrassed by what they saw. I mean, look, they feel defensive for him.

But we know what we see. For example, There was all these rumors about Reagan being detached, and later on he would have Alzheimer's, and they said there was some signs, and Bill Roy wrote a book about it happening. But what happened is you'd have some rumors, people would say it, but then people would see something different. At press conferences. They'd see something different among leaders.

We are actually hearing less behind closed doors that's bad, but we are all seeing what's bad. And we have that story with uh John uh with um Jon Stewart on Monday, and he just talks about how crazy it is that Joe Biden came out, made an announcement, didn't even acknowledge the verdict except respect the verdict when it comes to Donald Trump. And as he's walking out, He doesn't know what to do to take questions or not. Again. Tell people, how many times have we seen a politician in the local setting, national setting, Get confused leaving a set.

Never. Almost never. One time, George Bush in a padded room in China didn't know where the door was. And we ran that forever, but no one thought George Bush was losing his mind. We couldn't find the door.

Every single time he does not end. He looked straight ahead yesterday and just stared. Everyone's yelling, and he just turns around and walks one way, then another way. And then you finally hear a story. When are we going to get the story?

What happens behind closed doors? We get the story, and all his defenders hit the roof and say it's a classic hit job. Look at Time magazine. I mean read that story. Read some of his answers.

On inflation. On his spending. On what he terms a success. Brings up Afghanistan, doesn't even finish the sentence. I mean, come on.

And then yesterday, probably the most damning thing he says about Benjamin Etan Yahoo that he's extending the war in Gaza in order to make sure that he stays Prime Minister because when the war ends, most likely, they're going to have a snap vote. And he could lose. And then he brings up Well, you know, there were protests going on before October 7th, and he knows when this stops and without distracted with a war, Israel's going to have an election. This guy doesn't like it. Remember, Chuck Schumer came out and asked for a new election.

And he says, Yeah, there's reason to think for people to think that way. That's why the war has been extended. No, Mr. President, you're the reason why the war has been extended. Like it or not, we don't know the difference between civilians and Hamas fighters.

Their goal is to kill civilians. They live underneath. They are killing Hamas fighters, but you slowed them down in Rafah. You slowed down their weapon delivery as they got into Rafah. You nixed their plans to go heavy into Rafah.

And you wonder why the war is not over. You slowed it down. The one thing Trump has said, pick up the pace, get this over with. Here's Joe Biden trying to fix what he said. Cut to.

Is Prime Minister Netanyahu playing politics with the war? I don't think so. He's trying to work out a serious problem he has. I don't know if it fixes it or if he even cares. But I think it's terrible.

I mean, allies look at that and saying, yeah, Netanyahu can be difficult to deal with. I know Benjamin Barack Obama never liked him. Donald Trump did, now they're in a bit of a fight, although I don't know quite what that is about. But allies look at that and say, wow, when things got tough, America lost interest. When things got tough in Russia with their slow walking Ukraine, all these weapons, and now they just decide in to a certain extent, in certain circumstances, they let Ukraine hid into Russia, even though they were the victims of this invasion.

I think people are always watching. Brian Kilmicho. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show. Brian? In Kill Mead.

Hi, everyone. Brian Kilmey here.

So glad you're here. I'm at 48th and 6 in Midtown Manhattan, but my eyes are all on France with celebrating 80 years since D-Day, the most successful invasion in the history of man, saved the free world. And the President of the United States has arrived in France and immediately put a lid on it.

So we took the rest of the day off. They told everybody it was going to be an action-packed three days. Not in Action Pack Day. This is also the After Effects of the Wall Street Journal column. They chose him out of touch and declining, and a Time magazine article that shows really how detached he is from his own policies.

We're going to discuss all of that. And of course, I got to encourage you to get the podcast. If you ever can't, if you ever have to leave our family of affiliates, if you have to not be able to hear the show live, go get us a podcast. Go to the Fox News app. And click on that or wherever you get podcasts.

So let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. The simple truth is. there is a worldwide migrant crisis. And if the United States doesn't secure our border, there's no limit to the number of people may try to come here.

Because there's no better place on the planet than the United States of America. All right, that is President Biden. Nice try. Joe blames Trump for the broken border and then makes a confusing effort to try and fix it with his executive orders, what he did, what he said, and the fallout with his own party. Number two.

We have to remember that 51 very, very senior CIA officers, former CIA officers, said this was a Russian disinformation operation, which clearly and obviously it was not. That is John Kirico, an FBI guy, Hunter's ugly, embarrassing past, front and center, as his ill-advised book and lost laptop combined to bury him and his family, and worse is yet to come, why I believe he's already lost regardless of the verdict. Number one. I mean, he appears very much as he appears on TV. He is older than when he started in office.

He didn't pause when we asked him about it. He came back pretty fast. I didn't get the sense that he was troubled by it.

Disastrous Time Magazine feature exposes President Biden's record, his recall, and the horror of what a second term would look like as Trump heads west for money and his allies head to Philly for black votes. Britt Hume joins us now. Britt, you were the first people of prominence to come out and say, listen, I think he's got the beginnings of dementia. You've said that before. But now we're three and a half years in, and Time magazine seems to have discovered that to a degree.

And the Wall Street Journal unveiled that after talking to 45 separate people who paint, I think, a very disturbing picture. What did you take from both?

Well, it's pretty clear that Demand is senile, and it's been clear. since before he I was elected. And how I know that is that I'm about the same age he is and I understand the symptoms. You know, I'm sometimes forgetful, I can't remember names and so on. Um as you get older this happens.

Um You know, people say, well, if you're that way, how dare you comment like that? And I say, I'm not President of the United States. And I should not be President of the United States because I'm too old. Hey hey. He's a little over the number.

and he is clear. Yeah. not the man he once was. He used to be a he Yeah. years ago.

Um I was trying to do an interview with him for a profile and he was Uh he was uneasy about my doing it because when I was covering the Senate for ABC News, I almost never used any sound from him because somebody alm else always said it better and shorter. He was unbelievably loquacious.

Nowadays he he He he you know. His tendency to talk too much is that's over. Because I don't think he can. He's going to meet with Zelensky in France. Obviously, there's a lot at stake there.

He'll be at the G7 in Italy. The Wall Street Journal has talked to 45 people behind closed doors, and they say there's obvious signs that he's slipping. On Ukraine, he read from note cards in a meeting with staffers who already knew all the facts. Most of the conversation about Ukraine in that meeting didn't even include him. When the conversation came to him, he quickly passed it on.

At one point, when he went to talk, he closed his eyes. And everyone thought he fell asleep and then he just popped out. He also, in that same meeting, would break into some story about the DuPonts, the famous family that he met in Delaware. And he said the same story twice. That disturbs me.

I mean, it's hard to imagine some This being a hit job when the Wall Street Journal does such thorough reporting like this and they talk to so many people. You know what also they did, Brad? I don't know if you do this. I thought this is unusual. The White House kept checking in and they would tell him who they were talking to.

And then after you talked to him, the subject Democrats like Gregory Meeks would call back and say, Oh, I just want to tell you. Those were just one time. Other times he's been right on point.

So they came back and did some damage control within the same story. And to the Wall Street Journal's credit, they listed it all.

Well, the thing that's striking about that story, as well as what you've just mentioned, Brian, is. All the Democrats. In that story, in White House AIDS saying, Oh, no, no, no, no, he's just fine. No. And and of course, you know, when p p people Basically what this story is saying is Americans, you've seen him in action in public.

Uh, he's senile. Uh he's slipping. Um and it's the same behind closed doors. Uh Democrats rushing out and said, No. Yeah.

closed doors, he's he's on top of his game. He's as sharp as he ever was. I don't know what these people are talking about. And I think the story will will Advanced uh knowledge of that pretty substantial.

So, do you think that you're just your gut? I know you're not there reporting, but does that have anything to do with why he's not doing anything today? I mean, he landed at 7 o'clock Eastern time. You have a whole day. You could have rested on the plane.

He's he's well, he's quite an elderly man. And I think, you know, um I'd rather have him you know, if he needs the rest, I'd rather have him get it than than be unprepared. But Look, there's no doubt what's going on here. It's as plain as day. It's people can see it.

I don't think there's any way that the White House or his aides can see spin uh or other Democrats can spin him out of this. He's he's palpably senile. and and poorly equipped to To be President of the United States. I want you to hear what the reporter said on CNN yesterday, Massimo Calabri, an Irishman from Time, cut one. I mean, he appears very much as he appears on TV.

He is older than when he started in office. It's visible if you just look side by side on the tape. The transcript is a good place for people to go to assess that. When it came up, did you get the sense that he takes the concerns about his age from, according to polls? A majority of the American people, including Democrats, seriously.

Yeah, he didn't pause when we asked him about it. He came back pretty fast. I think, you know, to some degree that may be a stock answer. I didn't get the sense that he was troubled by it.

No, I mean, he's got to get used to that question.

So, I mean, it's easy to convolute the two, but on Time Magazine, what if he wins? Same thing for Trump. The one quote that bothered me, senile, I don't care if he's 45 or 85. They asked him, and obviously he's got problems with Netanyahu. They said basically: here's the question.

Some in Israel have suggested that Netanyahu is prolonging the war for his own political preservation. Do you believe that, Biden? I'm not going to comment on that. But there is reason for people to draw that conclusion. And I would cite this: as before the war began, the blowback he was getting from the Israeli military for wanting to change the Constitution, change the court.

One of the worst things that you could say about somebody, that they would allow a war to go on, hostages to be tortured, innocent people to die, IDF to be killed, in order for you to keep the job of prime minister, there's not a more insulting thing I believe you could say about an ally, Britt.

Well, I think it was uh In response to the The feeling that people want this war over with and they want the hostages released and all the rest of it. But there are two ways to look at this, Brian. One is that the research. Reason why the Uh the war is going on. Is that Biden has successfully restrained Israel in and its military objectives In in Gaza.

And one answer to g Yeah. goes on is to end it by winning it. And that's what Nethanyahoo has seemed to me to be intent on doing all along. And there have been all these talks about ceasefire deals and hostage releases and all the rest of it, which I really haven't come. Come to anything, and that's in part because Hamas won't accept any terms that are acceptable to Israel, and because Israel wants to finish the job.

A job, by the way, that President Biden and his administration endorsed. after october seventh when the war in Gaza began.

So my sense of that is Um Biden or Biden and his administration ought to back off. Let Israel finish the job. If it if Israel had finished the job, we wouldn't have had all these protests. on the college campuses and elsewhere. during the spring.

So I think we You know, I think that's about the size of that. Quick thing, when it comes to policy, I wanted to get specific for a second. In the Time magazine story, his perception is the Russian military has been decimated. This is his quote: You don't write about that. It's been freaking decimated, number one.

Yes, they've lost a lot. But, Britt, does he not realize that they've changed their whole economy to be a military base? Does he not realize they've been reinforced by Iran, North Korea, and China? Does he not know that Putin doesn't care about his people? He'll just draft another 100,000.

I mean, that to me I find disturbing if he's that detached.

Well, I'm not sure. Sherry doesn't know. But he isn't wrong. about the losses that the Russian military has suffer have suffered during this conflict. Uh it didn't hasn't turned out.

the way the Russians Russians thought it would, the way Putin thought it would when he started it. Um now we're in you know it's stolen. Russia seems to be gasping. And yes, they have. reoriented their economy.

And their country to fight this war, which is something that Russia never thought it would have to do. Um And you know, the the United States is uh on again, off again, military support. For Ukraine, always a little bit short of what Ukraine. or maybe in some cases a lot shorter what Ukraine would need to actually win the war and drive the Russians out of Ukraine. This is vintage Biden, by the way.

There's one misconception. People ask me this all the time. They say, who is really running things in the Biden White House? Because given his condition, it can't possibly be him. My view of that is, having known Biden as long as I have, is on these major decisions from Afghanistan to Ukraine to of the war in Israel and countless other things.

It is the problem and the decisions or Biden's. Trying to have it both ways on Israel, trying to have it both ways on Ukraine, that's how Biden has always been. Yeah, and I'm just going to bring you to something else. And Politico has this story unrelated to the other two that says when it comes to foreign policy, foreign policy has become a liability for President Biden. And also, one longtime Democratic strategist says it undermines the central tenet of his 2020 candidacy when he said he would restore America abroad and return us to normalcy.

Essentially, everybody wants the other guy's foreign policy. Ian Bremer, foreign policy is a problem for Biden because it undermines the central tenet of 2020. He would restore America abroad and no normalcy. You know that Ian Bremer doesn't wake up trying to defend Donald Trump every day. And he says that Trump wins on foreign policy.

So where does. Biden win then.

Well It's possible, you know, that the Israel could finish the job. Um I think it's close. than many people believe. despite the restraints that have been put on it by in considerable part by By Biden and his administration, that would actually, that would be a win. uh the conflict would be over.

That would probably help Trump. And if he w and he I mean, help Biden, and he would then be saying, you know, look, we supported Israel, Israel I and the rest of it. But he's not helping himself by the way. He's handling these things. And look, he He's not very good at this stuff.

Yeah. He's just not. I've known him a long time. He's always been kind of a nice guy, likable guy, easygoing, friendly. But he's not the brightest bubble on the circuit, that's for sure.

And it and and we see the results of that in the policies. And the circumstances uh that we're seeing now in US foreign policy abroad.

So I want you to hear some people are voraciously defending him, including MSNBC Mike Barnacle. Listen to this, cut six. This piece is so tilted, so off the mark. Is he 81 years old? Yes.

Is he a bit slower in terms of his reactions to some things? Probably. That I don't know. We don't know. I do know Richard, and you've talked to people, I'm sure, who have been with him in national security meetings.

I've been with people who have been with him in the Situation room where he literally goes around the globe on the chart in the situation room. I've never been in there, but electronically, and points out the weaknesses and the strengths of the United States relationships with each and every country that he's talking about with no notes. With no notes. He's an 81-year-old president of the United States who gets up every day. He's got to deal with Bibi Netanyahu in the morning, Ukraine, about 10 minutes later.

So, feel better? Yeah. This is basically the bottom line. Yeah. Americans.

Forget what you can s what you can see and hear with your eyes and ears. He's really fine. He's really sharp.

Now look, people who are senile have good days in bad.

So it's certainly possible that on some days Biden's on top of it, that he's sharp and focused. Other times, he lapses. You don't want a President of the United States who is having mental lapses Uh because the job never lets you g never lets go of you. You have to be on it all the time. Things come up out of nowhere, and if it catches you in a bad moment, you can get a bad result.

So the Mike Barnacles of the world can defend him with unnamed people telling him what goes on in the Situation Room and all the rest of it. But it all smacks to me of being the same kind of stuff you see in that Wall Street Journal piece with all these aides saying, oh, no, he's as sharp as he's ever been and so on. It's not so, and people can see it. Yeah, so much of this, what we're going to be experiencing over the next few months is unprecedented with the rematch that we're having, a former president to judge and a current president to judge on records instead of rhetoric.

So it's so interesting to debate because we have numbers to go over again, which even for a guy that's seen so much as you've, Britt, must make it kind of exciting. And I think the next time I see you face to face, we'll be at the RNC, or maybe if we go out and cover the debates. I look forward to that, Brian. Always good to talk to you. Same here.

The great Britt Hume. Thanks so much. 1866-408-7669. Your call's next. It'll be a skinny block, but then back to Rich Lowry to open it up and talk a little from the Republican perspective.

Don't move. Politics, current events, and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say. Stay with Brian Kilmead. The more you listen, the more you'll know.

It's Brian Killmead. Hi, I'm Ilaria Balda. And I'm Alec Bolta. And we have an announcement to make. You gotta know.

No, definitely not. We're done having kids. Bye. Check out. This is about our show.

We're inviting you into our home to experience the ups and downs, the good, the bad, the wild, and the crazy. Home is the place we love to be most. You say we are the bolt. We are the bulb. No, we are the bulb.

One, two, three, real. And we're coming to TLC.

So, what do you think? I mean, can you believe we're going to try to get the human side out of Alec Baldwin and Alaria? And to me, this shows he has no other option. Do you really think he wants cameras following him around every minute of every day to put together something like this? I mean, how many of his angry outbursts will they have to edit out?

He's got a. He's got Carmen, who's 10, Raphael, who's 8, Leonardo, who's 7, Romeo, who's 6, Eduardo, who's 3, Maria Lucia, who's 3, and Ilaria, who's 1.

So they are all, and of course, he's got one from another, from the Kim Bassinger marriage.

So this is going to be insane. Plus, he's got the wife who pretends she's from another country, who is actually from Boston. This is going to be a complicated show. But the point is, though, I think people will watch it initially because I think everyone's fascinated with it. You know my theory?

What's your theory? Stallone. Sylvester Stallone put his family on camera. They do a whole bunch of things on Instagram. He's talking to his girls.

His girls are talking to him. Even though his kids are kind of young to ask him real questions, maybe you're gonna get the human side of him. Talk about a little bit of his journey. I mean, this is a desperate attempt. The guy's up for murder charges.

True, but you would also hope he actually does love children if he has so many of them. Like, he does like being a father. I hope he is. By the way, Dad had a real tough guy image, unbelievable with kids. And he was also a teacher.

Teacher, and he was also good with little kids because I used to do some recreation with him.

So at the time, I was like seven until 11. He was great. Mean looking guy, but not a very nice guy. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead.

Was that your laptop? For real, I don't know. I know, but you know, that's this is the one. I really don't know the answer is that. You don't know yes or no if the laptop is available.

I don't have any idea. I have no idea.

So, it could have been yours. Of course, certainly. There could be a laptop out there that was stolen from me. There could be that I was hacked. It could be that there was the.

that it was Russian intelligence. It could be that it was stolen from me. See, this is so unbelievable. This guy writes a book, supposedly sober, at which time the laptop is a major story. His dad wins an election.

He goes on a book tour, and even the most. Forgiving hosts like Jimmy Kimmel would say, Have you thought about Apple Care? And make fun of it. But he has no answer for his laptop real. And why does that matter?

Well, now he's got to find out we get authenticated months after the election. 51 Intel experts lose their reputation, in my view. They all should no longer be getting high-security briefings. We find out that this was rounded together by Anthony Blinken and Mike Morrell of the CIA. They rounded up 51 Intel agents just to say their laptop's real.

And not one of them picked up the phone to ask Joe Biden if it's real and should they stake their reputation on it. And then it turns out not only is it real, a lot of it is salacious and shows intricate business dealings with Joe Biden, who was very much informed and on many, many meetings. I don't want to go through that all right now, but here's how it relates. Hunter Biden yesterday had all these naked pictures up there, half-naked pictures up there, all this communications, text messages with his family members all exposed because the laptop was his. And I know he knows it was his.

And it wasn't stolen, it wasn't hacked. You dropped it off at a repair shop in Delaware, and everyone knows you. He tried to get a hold of you over and over again when it didn't. Clearly, the rules were. He can keep it.

When they realized what was on it, he brought it to the FBI. When they brought it to the FBI, they harassed the guy that gave it to them and didn't do anything with it. And now it's being used against him in this gun case. Rich Lowry, I hope everyone was able to follow that, but that's why it matters. It showed that Joe Biden was not this pure snow, former 40-year politician looking to become president.

It shows a very complicated situation with his son, his brother, and Tony Bobolinski, and others. Rich, welcome back. Hey, yeah. I mean, they were totally lying, right? They knew his laptop.

Hunter certainly knew it was his laptop. He easily could have contacted all those former intelligence people and say, guys, don't get yourself out on a limb, you know, because it's my laptop. But the whole purpose of that letter is to give Joe Biden something to say. And he used it in one of the debates to try to diffuse the issue. And most of the media at least used it to create ambiguity around this issue, and there was just no doubt it was his laptop.

I mean, the level of foreign intelligence operation it would have taken for Russian intelligence to fabricate a Hunter Biden laptop with a bunch of fake, fake, porny kind of videos and drop it off at this Wilmington repair shop, it was always insane. But a lot of people bought it. Yeah, in fact, this is the moment. And we've got to keep this in mind because we're about to go into another debate. And there was no fact checker, there still isn't, but cut nine.

There are fifty former national intelligence folks. Who said that what this he's accusing me of is a Russian plant. They have said that this has all the characters. Five former heads of the CIA, both parties, say what he's saying is a bunch of garbage. Nobody believes it except his and his good friend Rudy Gianni.

You mean the laptop is now another Russia-Russia-Russia hoax? This is where he's going. The laptop is Russia, Russia, Russia. And then they just said move on. And by the way, the reason why it matters is because it had a lot of corrupt stuff on there, not just a guy with hookers and crack.

It gets worse as far as what people were voting on. And then we find out months later, everybody that tried to retweet that, send that, forward that, their accounts were shadow banned or flat-out banned, including the press secretary at the White House.

So I don't know what to say. I mean, this story tells itself. And you wonder why people out there who support President Trump don't trust the system. Yeah, I mean it was a frank suppression of the truth involving people who were very powerful and had access to incredibly sensitive information and kind of prostituted themselves to this political cause and the future President of the United States and his son just lying about it and a lot of the media going along.

So it was a corrupt deal from beginning to end. And a corrupt deal that was meant to hide. further corruption and all this influence peddling.

So, this case in particular, Rich, you know, I don't feel good about anybody being addicted to anything. Everyone knows someone who's addicted. He had the gun charge. He looks so guilty. I mean, why he's putting his family and friends through this, his former girlfriend, his former wife, his mom, I don't get it.

He can't win this case. And if he wins a case, it's only because of Delaware jury. But he's already suffered irreparable damage in embarrassing his family with all these. And the exchanges, the text messages. What are they thinking?

Yes. So I don't really care about this case in isolation or at an abstract level. It's the influence peddling I think is the real public story or the story with more public consequence, except that he needs to be treated like everyone else, right? And anyone else will be going to jail. offense.

And he almost got off of this corrupt sweetheart plea agreement that couldn't survive the first contact with a skeptical judge who asked a couple hard questions and the whole thing fell apart. But that's not how anyone else is treated. And Joe Biden himself has been this has been a major cause of his, right? Increasing the penalties for people who lie on their form.

So they're going to try to make the defense basically, well, you can't prove he was high that day, right? But that's not the standard for anyone else. But I think it's what you referred to in your question. It's the potential of a hung jury. It's not crazy to think in a sympathetic jurisdiction, unlike the one that Trump was in in the Stormy Daniels case, you could get and I thought this might happen in Manhattan.

For Trump, it didn't, obviously, but you could get one or two jurors like, no, you know, this guy's an addict, he suffered enough, we're not going to do it.

So I've been talking a lot about the Time magazine, a Wall Street Journal story. I want to get your take. But first, I want to talk about the border. Here's the President yesterday blaming Donald Trump for the mess we're in and how he suddenly realizes he can fix it. Uh cut 21.

Four months ago, After weeks of intense negotiation between my staff and Democrats and Republicans, We came to a clear clear bipartisan deal. It was the strongest border security agreement in decades. But then Republicans in Congress, not all, but walked away from it. Twy Because Donald Trump told them to. He told the Republicans, it has been published widely by many of you.

That he didn't want to fix the issue, he wanted to use it. to attack me. That's what he wanted to do was a cynical and a c extremely cynical political move. And a complete disservice to the American people who are looking for us to not weaponize the border, but to fix it. And just to give people a reality check, in an effort to get foreign aid, the Republicans said: give me a border, give me a border deal, reinforce the border, get some security down there.

They worked on a bipartisan deal. Trump hated it. Most Republicans hated it. They wanted H.R. 2.

Now, the president is leaning on that, saying that is the problem. He's let 8 million people in. Most people think it was flat-out intentional. Will he be able to get traction off this? You know, I think it's better than the alternative for him.

Doing something, even if it's theatrical and it's not going to have much effect, is better than just letting it happen, which is what they've been doing, with few exceptions. I mean, they've leaned on Mexico to tighten up some, which Mexico has done. But it just goes to what a scam that deal was and how the critics were right. You know, this was something that Biden could have done on his own, because now he's done it, and the number was higher in the deal than it is in this thing he's doing on his own.

So what were Republicans getting from that?

Now, I supported the Ukraine funding, but obviously the border element of it was a joke. And I read through the proclamation yesterday, and it's amazing how he makes it appear as this crisis is just something that happened to him. It's a hemisphere-wide problem that just came to our shores, and there's nothing we can do. He doesn't mention any of his rollbacks of all the Trump Policies. He was asked by Time magazine about this, and he's like, I'm proud.

I should have done it sooner.

Well, it would have been hard to do it sooner because he did a lot of it on the first day. And that's what caused the unraveling. Yeah, there's a lot of migration around the hemisphere, but that doesn't mean our border needs to be open. And he cracked it wide open as soon as he came in. And nothing will happen.

There's no bell that's going to go off. Right now, they have to stop. They're going to close the border outside the port of entry. There's no way to close the border. You saw the video.

They're coming through San Diego right now. 85% are coming through San Diego right now. You saw Bill Melusian. They're pouring in from Africa. They're coming in from Korea.

They're coming in, not from Korea, excuse me, from Taiwan. They're coming in from China. They're coming in from Vietnam. They're coming in from everywhere. They know this is the time.

And now he wants to stop it with this new executive order. There's no people there to stop it. This is a joke. Yeah, you'll just increase the the gotaways and there's some indication that if you claim credible fear, they're still gonna have the same process they did before. And another emphasis in the proclamation, uh a word you'll see over and over again there there is processing or process uh process or processing, which means you you know you you're just you're just letting them in but someone's stopping and talking to them before letting them in.

That's processing, right? They have an app. That's just entirely meant to put a legal patina over illegal immigration. If you just go log on to the app and enter some information.

So even if this. Order or what is portrayed as, it'd still be like 1.5 million people a year by some estimates. And there's a good chance it'll be stopped by the courts, and that this might be Biden's play, right? He'll say, I tried to do it, and then it got enjoined by the courts.

So he'll get the best of both worlds from his perspective, where he can say, He tried to do it, but the flow continues uninterrupted. I was talking to Rich Lowry from National Review, and Rich, finally, the former President of the United States flying out to California for more fundraisers. He sent Byron Donalds Wesley Hunt over to Philadelphia to start organizing the black vote. He really wants to continue to make progress there. I give him credit, obviously.

He out-earned, they out-raised, Republicans did, Democrats.

Now it seems two months in a row. The official numbers aren't in yet, but it seems pretty obvious. And then this story comes out in Time Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, talk about how detached this President is from reality and might be detached from his faculties. Your thoughts about how hard this will be to recover for the former President, if at all, for the current President, if at all? Yeah, so it's not as though the Wall Street Journal article is going to sink him, right?

What's hurting him, and we've seen it in polls and we've talked about it a lot over the last year or two, is just what people see in public, right? You don't need an insider report to see how he's shuffling on the White House lawn, and they need to surround him with a bunch of people so people don't notice how much he's shuffling and that he's going through shorter, up and down shorter stairs for Air Force One, and he has long, awkward pauses, and he misspeaks constantly, and he mumbles, and he's reading from note cards and very basic meetings. Everyone sees that, right? And they believe, at least three-quarters of Americans, that he doesn't have the physical or mental capacity to do this again for another four years, and they're right.

So that's just another huge anchor around Biden.

So it's still a close race. I think Trump has a better chance to win. It's still kind of 50-50, but it's not crazy to think this thing could flip in the end. Not like a 10-point Trump victory. That's on a card.

That's not on the cards. It doesn't really happen anymore. But all the swing states, potentially. Could flip to Trump at the end. I think that's a plausible outcome.

It's also plausible that Biden could hold the blue walls and draw an inside proverbial inside straight and stay in. But this is a president and a presidency that's in pathetic shape. Right, and they just want to make Trump unelectable, just like that was Barack Obama's strategy, too. Rich, you wrote about Caitlin Clark, and you said, don't hate her. I mean, even the controversy helps sell the story.

If we were just waiting for her to score 30 points, I don't think it's as big a story as the hard fouls she's getting and some of the resentment she's receiving. I think it actually helps the league. What are your thoughts? Yeah, I think it does. I still think it's bad.

It shouldn't be happening, but the controversy sells. And I'm not a big WNBA fan, but I've followed Caitlin Clark a little bit, and it's telling that two or three games ago, she scored 30 points, and I didn't know. I didn't hear about it. This foul, I heard about it. Everyone heard about it.

So I think it is racialist. I think a lot of people just hate the fact that she's a white girl who's this good. And that's funny. Fundamentally un-American. It shouldn't matter whether she's Black, white, straight, or or whatever.

She's a pure shooter who's a joy, joy to watch, was amazing on the college court. You know, still has work to do on the WNBA court, but that's to be expected. She only played 11 games. But everyone should realize she's an enormous asset to the league. Huge.

And women's sports. I'm pro women's sports. Most guys are. There's nobody out there looking to keep women down except for people that want to let men who want to be women play in women's sports. That's the only time people I hear express outrage in my circles.

So the more out there, the better. And I love that we have the best basketball players in the world. We might as well have the best league. Let's make it successful. And hey, ladies, you have to go.

Young girls, you have to go. Because most are still guys that are going to the girls' games and women's games. Rich, thanks so much. Always appreciate the wide swath of knowledge. Back in a moment.

I'll take your calls. This is the Brian Kilmeat Show. It's Brian Killmeade Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Gill Me Show. Space flight.

Is risky. That's why this launch of the Boeing Starliner. It's a test flight. The two astronauts. are test pilots.

If everything works well, Then the next one will be the starting of a cadence of four astronauts in the Starliner. Five. Four. Three. Two.

One, ignition, And liftoff of Starliner and Atlas V. Carrying two American heroes, drawing a line to the stars for all of us.

So it's been that that is it. Boeing has had their first manned launch of a Star Aligner spacecraft. It had a bunch of false starts. You know, there are many reasons why that could be happening. We are now two minutes and 40 seconds into the flight, and so far, so good.

I see Earth in the backdrop. Their stages are releasing, and we'll see what happens.

So, Boeing wants to get into the business. They desperately need some good news. They have two more whistleblowers who came out in their airline industry.

So, Boeing, for now, Uh looks good. And let's hope. They just had a booster release. That was supposed to happen, I believe. Uh We'll try to find it.

I believe it was. All right. 1866-408-7669. You want to know why I'm down on stealing the border right now, even though we're over the threshold and it should be happening? How about Bill Melusian yesterday in Jacumba, California?

Listen to him walk out there by himself, no border patrol around, as these migrants are crossing into San Diego, Cut 36. Where are you guys from? What country? Mauritania. Mauritania.

From Africa. From Africa. Yeah? And why'd you guys come to the United States? What country?

Nepal. Nepal. All of you from Nepal? Yeah. No English.

No English. What country? Vietnam. Vietnam. What country are you from?

Mauritania. Mauritania? Mauritanians? Where are you guys from? What country?

India. This is America. See the red lights? Teduana. Mexico Lee.

You are Teduana. No, no, no, no, no. San Diego. See the lights? San Diego.

You believe that they're saying Tijuana? You say, no, it's San Diego. You're in San Diego. But yeah, it's a big migrant crisis. No, we let people in.

That's what's happening. You know why they stopped going in through Texas?

Well, not all, total. They stopped going to Texas because they reinforce things on their own. Do you know who took credit for that yesterday? This clown, Alejandro Mayorkis, said, Well, we really handle things at El Paso on Eagle Pad. What are you talking about?

You were suing Texas, the governor, the state, for taking things into their own hands, putting down those containers, stacking them up, putting out barbed wires, and then you realize how bad it would be if you made them take it down.

So you kept suing them, but now all of a sudden, looking for an easy entry, everyone's going to California. I don't know why they weren't going to California to begin with. You know why? Because when you get there, it's free health care.

Now there's a big movement in California among Democratic lawmakers to make it a priority in the California state college system to hire illegals. A priority over Americans to hire illegals. You can't be more screwed up than that. Hey, go to BrianKilme.com. Find out how to see me on stage.

It is Fantastic History, Liberty, and Laughs tour. I'll be in. As you know, Indianapolis, Indiana on the 29th of June and on the 28th, on the 27th, rather, catch me in Strasbourg, Pennsylvania. From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian.

Kill me. Hi, everyone. So glad you're here. So much going on, too. On a lighter note, and a good note, Boeing has got their Starliner in the sky.

It's a manned mission. They had some problems.

Some of the stuff was out of their control, it was weather. Other stuff was mechanical issues, electronic digital issues. But now they are back. They're in the sky. They're fine.

So that's good news for them. They desperately need some good news, so is their stock.

Meanwhile, two more whistleblowers came out. But that's not the big story. We also have Bill Melusian joining us from the border, the best in the business. Him and Griff Jenkins have done things on the border that have really changed American security and changed American policy. Thank goodness.

Not for Republicans and Democrats, but for the country. He's going to be joining us live about this new border changes through executive order. Congressman Kevin Hearns is standing by. Wayne's and Means Committee is one of his things, chairman of the Republican Study Committee, co-chair of small business caucus. And we have a lot of news for him to cover.

So let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. The simple truth is. there is a worldwide migrant crisis. And if the United States doesn't secure our border, there's no limit to the number of people who may try to come here.

Because there's no better place on the planet than the United States of America. Wow, he really means it, doesn't he? Nice try, Joe. He blames Trump for the broken border and then makes a confusing effort to try and fix it. What he did, what he said, and the fallout.

Number two. We have to remember that 51 very, very senior CIA officers, former CIA officers, said this was a Russian disinformation operation, which clearly and obviously it was not. Yes, obviously, it's not. That is an FBI expert, Jon Kiricow, last night with Jesse. Hunter's ugly, embarrassing past, front and center, as his ill advised book and lost laptop combined to bury him.

And his family, and right now he is back in court, and they're cross-examining some of the witnesses. As his ex-wife is now on the stand, one of the things she will say is: he owes me $5 million in child support. I don't care what the verdict is, really. It's already bad for the Bidens. Number one.

I mean, he appears very much as he appears on TV. He is older than when he started in office. He didn't pause when we asked him about it. He came back pretty fast. I didn't get the sense that he was troubled by it.

Really? Massimo Calabri, the CAD reporter in Time magazine, talking about a major feature story on the president of the United States, and it does not make him look good. You talk about his recall, his record, the horror of what a second term would look like as Trump heads out west for money, and his allies head to Philly to try to collect black votes. From Oklahoma, Congressman Kevin Hearn joins us now. Congressman, thanks for being here.

It's great to be with you. First off, are you surprised the President of the United States put a lid on his appearance? He's only going to be in Normandy for three days. And he just landed and didn't talk to the press, no meetings planned. Do you think something's wrong?

Well, I've been saying that all along. There's something wrong with him. Think about it. He became president by hiding in his basement and not talking to the press. And here we are, as the president, he is going to very friendly territories under like.

unlike what President Trump has done, has gone out and gone right into The dens of people who are not supporters of his to tell them that he is the president that will actually return the country where it needs to be, make America great again, if you will. And Joe Biden wants to go into safe union districts, and people are just sick of it. They see through it. That's why you're seeing the polls. They're moving away from him in a big way, and that's why you're seeing him try to hastily put the policies together.

And he's trying to do it at the last minute.

So, what do you think of this executive order? It says that he is going to not apply the exceptions we'll have. He'll shut down the border after a consecutive seven-day average of $2,500 a day.

So, we're already on that. Only reopens after a counters dropped to $1,500 a day. This doesn't count for port of entry. Illegal immigrants will receive a minimum five-year ban on re-entry and can be criminally prosecuted if they try to come back. It prevents border officials from admitting new asylum seekers while active and still allows 1.8 million illegal immigrants to enter per year.

It looks like if you're an unaccompanied minor, you still get to stay. And if you're using the CBP One app, you get to stay and will not apply to visa holders.

So, here we go. Plenty of exceptions, executive orders implemented, and the Border Patrol has never been informed.

So right now they're supposed to be sealing the border. Congressman Hearn, you know they're not. They don't have the manpower to do it. They don't. I've been to the border several times from Arizona all the way to Texas, and there's different issues up and down the border.

But where the border wall is, you don't have people crossing every single day like you do in Texas, inundation. And now it's starting to move elsewhere. But, you know, one thing the president has been quick to do is blame the Republicans and the Senate for not passing the bill that would have been not any more helpful than what he's talking about right now. You know, what he's failed to tell the American people that we're going to continue to remind everyone is the Republicans in the House of Representatives passed H.R. 2 in March of last year, and the Senate, Chuck Schumer, and the President refused to take it up.

It would have shut down the border crossings illegally. It would have been more aggressive. And from the president's own words, President Biden's own words from the State of the Union last year, he stated that 70,000 Americans were dying from fentanyl overdoses, and that is coming directly across the southern border, something he has. To dress, and he has not done it.

Now that's up over 100,000 Americans are dying every single year from fentanyl overdoses. And we talk about what this president has done in his DOJ to go after President Trump in Manhattan and elsewhere. These are going to be things that are going to be looked at when President Biden is out of office. Did he have the blood on his hands of Americans who have died from fentanyl because he went and undid Donald Trump's border policies, the first thing when he got in office.

So a lot to go on here, but I felt once more that he's the one who's in charge of the border since President Trump has left office.

Well, by the way, Merrick Garland came out firing yesterday. He says he didn't have anything to do with this, with any of the court cases against Donald Trump. Here he is with Jerry Nadler getting served up. Easy questions. Cup 43.

Thank you. My Republican colleagues seem to believe that the Department of Justice is secretly coordinating the now successful prosecution of former President Trump in New York. Is there any truth to this allegation? And what is your response to this allegation? The dist the case in New York is brought by the Manhattan District Attorney.

Independently on his own volition and on his own determination of what was what he believed was a violation of state law. You do you agree with Merrick Garland or do you or do you agree with Jim Jordan who vehemently disagrees?

Well, clearly, Jim Jordan. And for Mayor Garland to say that in the Department of Justice not seeing the wrong that has been happening in Manhattan where a misdemeanor was plussed up to a felony, thirty four felony counts only by the use and the introduction of felon issues Merrick Garland could have stepped in and called out what it is. It's a sham trial. It's a persecution of a political opponent. It's something that we'd expect to see in Russia or Venezuela or even China for that matter.

And right now, Iran's going through presidential elections. It wouldn't surprise me to see them do the same thing in their elections. But we're the United States of America. What we've seen happen very recently is the big apple becomes a banana republic. And with these kangaroo courts, where the known outcome, as President Trump said early on, there's no way I'm not going to be convicted with all the things and the excuses and the opportunities that this judge gave the jury.

go find him guilty. And we're going to look at this. I like what President Trump said. He said, I will get my vengeance by the success I'll have as President of the United States. And I think all Americans need to wrap their arms around that, support President Trump to be the next President of the United States.

I guess we're going to find out. It was very fiery yesterday, also when we watched the FBI director come out, and he talks about how we have lost the looking glass on terrorists coming to our shores because of the way we left Afghanistan. And we're not emphasizing intelligence collection anywhere these days, not in Iraq and Syria, where we also have people. Here's what he says that gets him most worried: cut 40. As we have less collection overseas against foreign terrorism.

There's less sources of information to inform people about people coming in.

So, in other words, somebody could be coming in who should be watchlisted. But isn't. And it's not because of a breakdown between CBP and the TSC. It's because the information that should have told everybody that this person is a threat. Has not yet been Unearthed by whatever intelligence agency it is out there.

Because it's not just the FBI that puts people on the watch list. When you see 8 million people coming in here illegally, and then you have the watch list get into triple figures quickly every year, you wonder how we're being able to dodge this bullet.

Well, certainly, I think our intelligence communities, whether it be the defense community or our national intelligence communities, are working overtime. And if you go back and talk about Afghanistan, this President, Joe Biden, has failed in every policy area that matters to American people, whether again, it's the border policy, Whether it's energy policy and what he's done to curtail production in the United States and make the rest of the world dependent upon the Middle East and Russia. or Venezuela, you know, not very friendly to all of us. whether he looks at the economy and the spending he's created with IRA and the Build Back Better programs he's had out there, the trillions of dollars in debts he's had, and then to your point with that article, foreign policy issues. And this all started in August of twenty twenty one with the botched pullout out of Afghanistan, and we had thirteen new Gold Star families because of poor leadership.

And you mentioned what's happening in the Middle East, and you just had the the FBI talk about we don't have intelligence. This is what former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said while we needed to leave a contingent. Of military observers at Bogram Air Force Base so that we had the ability in theater to see what was going on. We learned throughout the Cold War that there was nothing better than having boots on the ground to gather intelligence. You can't do all that from satellites.

And this president, as you've infamously said, was an over the horizon intelligence gathering. What little we've gotten has probably saved us a little bit, but I think everybody knows, as Christopher Ray said, that it's not if, but when we have an uprising from terrorists from around the world inside the United States.

So right now, President Trump's on the West Coast getting you money. Will he be coming to Oklahoma at all? He's been to Oklahoma several times. Obviously, Oklahoma is a solid red state for him. He's more popular than ever in Oklahoma.

It's the only state where he has won the primary three times.

Now his popularity is all across all 77 counties, all red, all supportive of President Trump, and even more so since the trial last week. Uh, President Trump, we would encourage him, and I have to go to those states that are going to be those seven sling states to make sure he wins the presidency because America. The future of America can't do without him. Congressman Kevin Hurd, thanks so much. Thank you, Brian.

I appreciate it. You got it. When we come back, I'll take your calls. We'll begin with Vinny and WABC and work our way back. Then Bill Malusian brings us right down to the border.

Last night he was in San Diego. I'm not sure where he is right now. I believe he's there. We're able to uncover, and I want to get his take on what President Biden is doing and if it will have an impact. I'll get the answer from the man on the border in just a moment.

Coming to you on a need-to-know basis because Mandy, you need to know. It's Brian Kilmead. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Joe. This is the first president in the history of the United States of America that anybody seeking asylum.

has to do it in another country. That's never happened before in America. That's never happened before in America. You come to the United States and you make your case that I seek asylum based on the following premise: why I deserve it under American law. They're sitting in squalor on the other side of the river.

What are you talking about? He's also meant the first country you step into, and I can't wait to get Chad Wolf on this, Tom Holman, Mike Pompeo. This is what's worked out. The first country you walk into, if you're in Ecuador, the first country you walk into, if you're in Nicaragua, first country you walk into, you go to our embassy and that's where you apply. Don't tell me that's not been done before.

It's a great system. If it is groundbreaking, it's awesome. We need everybody here already, and then they become our problem. And then we say, when you come to the border, you apply, you remain in Mexico because you're not going to be our problem unless we find out that we have to take you in. And you have to have very strict criteria in order to get that refugee status.

That's a fact, and that's a great policy. And guess what happens when you collapse it through your executive order? All hell broke loose.

Now you have an app where people can apply outside the country to get in. How is that different? It isn't.

So now at least you have track of people, you know who's coming in, you screened them before.

Now you hop on an app, they're very easy screening questions. We will fly you in on our expense. Do you believe that? And then we take you in and we f we Fund these NGOs like Catholic charities, and they give you everything you need. Then we put you into school.

How great is that? If you're them, not if you're us. People are fed up with it. That's why this is the number one or number two issue on everyone's ledger. And just so you know, Trump is killing him in this.

And he might come out and say, Look, I had to act alone, and I blame Trump for that. No one buys it. Border Security. In terms of what the President's approval rating is, according to This is a Fox News poll, 33% approval rating on border security. The Quinn and Piak poll from May showed that 16% of participants in the poll named immigration as the most urgent issue facing the country, behind the economy and preserving democracy.

So it was third. 52% said Trump would do a better job handling it. 41% say Biden would. I don't know who those 41% are. Maybe people that want an open border.

Vinny, listen on WABC. Hey, Vinny. Hey, good morning. How are you, Brian? Good.

Listen, three and a half years into the presidency, now all of a sudden the so-called president by name only is saying, Oh, yeah, we got a problem. We need to take care of this. Six months before Election Day, I mean, does he think we're all born yesterday with this? Yes. He thinks we're going to buy it.

I mean, his people think he's going to buy it anyway. And the Democrats always do, no matter what happens. Everybody else is like, yeah, there's something wrong with this guy. He's on another planet. But every day that goes on, I don't know what's going to happen.

Personally, I think Trump's going to wind up serving time, unfortunately. I'm a Trump supporter. And if Biden gets in again, what's going to happen in the next four years? I'm terrified. Nothing good.

His foreign policy is terrible. And you know that as Democrats is on the record basically saying, Ian Bremer, I wouldn't say he's a Democrat, but security expert, says that on foreign policy, the president loses. The Politico loses to Trump every time. Politico knows it, most Democrats know it. His foreign policy is terrible.

And no longer can you say Donald Trump just talks, he doesn't produce. We know exactly what he does. Maybe you don't like it. But I know exactly the record. And this is the other thing I like to emphasize, Benny.

When the President goes to the debate, And this comes up. He shouldn't just say, you broke the border. I want to know the specifics. I want him to list off the executive orders that undid what was done, including Title 42, which he sued to get rid of. And I want to hear the numbers and make the President answer this question: 84,000 missing unaccompanied minors.

Where are they? They want to talk about dividing families. The president did that for 10 days. It was supposed to be used as a deterrent. And they were keeping the kids safe.

And what Tom Holman told me: when you pull somebody over, and if they're drinking and driving, they got kids in the car, you arrest the woman. Or man. And you keep the kids until you can get them to a family member. That's what they were doing. Having said that, they got rid of the policy.

But what they would do with another company of miners, you treat them with respect, you give them everything they want when they're here, and then you fly them back home. Simple as that. Word will get out. Then if you come, you leave. And that'll that'll go a long way.

To being successful. The problem with this, and there's a lot with these executive orders that Joe Biden just put out. With the executive order that Joe Biden just put out. If you're an uncomfortable miner, you get to stay. And guess what?

Put you with a family. A lot of these people will be in traffic. They pretend to be family members. They use these kids basically as slave labor. They never see one day of school, they work in the fields.

That happens in America. Other times They put him with a family member and they send for their parents. And then their parents get to stay. Where the parents get here, they got 10 years before they make a court appearance. They have kids, the kids become Americans.

Next thing you know, they show up at immigration, they go, Look, I got three kids, they're all Americans. Are you really gonna send me back as a parent? And the answer should be yeah, with your kids. The good news is, this is not 2016 anymore. The American people, when asked about mass deportation, over 50% want it.

Five oh. Go ahead, call President Trump anti-Semitic. Uh The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead. Where are you guys from?

What country? Mauritania. Mauritania, from Africa. Yeah? And why'd you guys come to the United States?

What country? But Nepal. All of you from Nepal? Yeah. No English.

No English. What country? Vietnam. Vietnam. What country are you from?

Mauritania. Mauritania? Yeah. Mauritanians? Where are you guys from?

What country? India. This is America. See the red lights? That's Border Patrol.

No, no, no, no, no. San Diego. See the lights? San Diego. Wow, and that is a little of a slice of Bill Melusian's beat at the border.

And I believe that was San Diego yesterday. They're not no longer coming from Mexico, no longer coming from El Salvador. Yes, there's some, but they're coming from everywhere. Bill Melusian joins us now. Bill, are you still in San Diego?

Yeah, Brian, we're about an hour east of San Diego in Hacumba. It's a remote area in San Diego County, but you're spot on, man. We we never see any Mexicans or Central Americans out here anymore. It's pretty much all Chinese, Middle East, Africa. It's wild.

Do they land in Mexico or do they walk through Mexico? They typically land in Mexico or they arrive in southern Mexico via bus and then they take different buses or trains to northern Mexico. They get to Tijuana, then the cartels scoop them up and they drive them in SUVs like an hour east of Tijuana to this remote brushy area. And we've got videos of this where they just drop them off in escalades on the other side of the border and they walk through gaps in the border wall. It's well oiled.

It's a machine. And these smugglers are making a massive amount of money because these people are coming from all over the world. They consider them exotic clients.

So they charge them a lot more. If they try to get a Guatemalan in, it's a few thousand dollars. The Chinese, they can charge them like thirty, forty thousand bucks. How could someone from China just get out? Hey, I'm leaving.

Communist country. Yeah, it's time for me to go.

So I get my roller bag and I come and I pay off my cartel member and I cross. How did they get out of there? Did did we ever get that explanation? That is the question, and I've been wondering that for months, Brian. We've had over 30,000 Chinese just in the San Diego sector just since October 1st.

So, just think about that. Just since a little bit before Halloween, enough to fill up a college football arena of Chinese have come through one little spot on the border out here in San Diego County. A lot of them are in brand name clothes. They've got nice iPhones. They're bringing their luggage with them.

They're clearly not like these poor, downtrodden people. But you're right, it raises the question: you know, the CCP is known for being an iron fist on its own citizens. How are they letting so many of them just leave and come to the United States? You know, I wish I had an answer for you. I'm sorry, I don't.

It's remarkable, though, and almost none of them are being deported. China doesn't cooperate with repatriation flights. I think Secretary Mayorkas just testified last month that they've had one flight recently in like the last year or two.

So, all these Chinese you see show. Showing up here, pretty much almost all of them are just being caught and released into the country. And the question is: where do they go and what are they doing?

So, I understand that we used to question them all extensively before they came in, before the numbers started getting this great. We have no interest in questioning them, being that they're from a country that basically is an adversary of ours. Yeah, they're supposed to question them. They should. The problem is, this administration is all worried about political optics.

So when you start getting thousands upon thousands of people showing up each day, they want to avoid bad images of overcrowding.

So, well, you can't have your agents busy doing questioning and intensive interviews of people from all over the world. It's just let them go with an NTA, let them go with an NTA, let them go with an NTA. The thought has just been. Process as fast as possible, get them out, get them out, get them out.

Now, they're supposed to process them and question them thoroughly when they're a special interest alien. That means they come from a country that has potential national security concerns. That includes China now. It used to be mostly those Middle Eastern countries, but China is on that list now.

So these Chinese migrants. should be getting vetted and thorough questioning, but they're not.

So Mayorkas was on, the HSS Secretary was on Neil Cavuta yesterday and talked about this legislation, the changes they're going to make and the situation is at the border, Cut twenty four. It will in fact be immediately in effect. And then if We experience seven consecutive calendar days where the average number of encounters each day is below one thousand five hundred, then fourteen days after those that seventh day, Um we will reopen and if in fact If, in fact, the number of encounters thereafter. is twenty five hundred or more on average for seven consecutive days, we have the authority to again implement this bar, which we would do.

So, I mean, just to shut it all down outside the ports of entry, is that even possible? No, they don't have the manpower to do it. I think people picture what there's someone standing at the border with the clicker: 2497, 2498, 2499. Ding, ding, ding, 2,500. All right, an alarm sirens, a wall goes up, border agents run out, and they start shoving people back to Mexico.

No, that's not what's happening at all. And there are so many exceptions if you read the fine print of this executive order. It doesn't apply to unaccompanied minors. People can still claim fear if they don't want to be removed.

Well, anybody can say they're afraid. Then they go through questioning, they get what's called a CFI accredible fear interview, and then they can still be released into the country.

So it's potentially a paper tiger, Brian. And you know that, I mean, you've seen what they've done with their orders over the years. This sounds great, right? We're going to shut down the border. We're going to seal it.

Asylum's going to be blocked between port of entries, yada, yada, yada. But if you actually look at the order, they've written so many exceptions into this thing. And they're also not touching the ports of entry where they're bringing in $1,500 a day with a cell phone app called CBP1. They're not touching their migrant flight parole program where they're flying in 30,000 a month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. If they really wanted people to stop coming into the country, the first thing they would do is stop those programs, but they're not.

They're bringing in tens of thousands a month. They just prefer to do it in a quote-unquote lawful pathway they created because they don't want these images they see on Fox News every day of people swarming the border because they're five months out from an election. And don't forget, unaccompanied miners.

So if you're a kid and you come over here, you get to stay, right? You go to an NGO, and then we get you to a school. And then eventually you ask for your parents. Yeah, and think about it. The cartels are going to be able to run with that marketing until the sun goes down.

So now that unaccompanied children are exempt from this executive order, they're going to be able to go to migrants and say, hey, pay us, give us your kids, we'll get them across the border, and they're not going to be deported. The U. S. government will take them, and they will finish the final leg of human smuggling for us. They will get your kids to Health and Human Services, and they will transport your kids to a sponsor or a family member in the United States.

That is exactly what's happening. And look, I understand these are children, these are minors, these are kids. The U.S. has to take care of them. But facts are facts.

Once they drop these children off, They know the U.S. government is going to reunite them with a family member or a sponsor in the country. It literally completes the human smuggling for the cartels, Brian. It's wild. Right.

And by the way, the former president, the current president, said he couldn't do any of this, and the stuff he's doing is not accepted by the way left. What I also thought was, Rich, and I thought about you immediately, is Mayorkas yesterday told Neil Cavuto, you know, Neil said hypothetically, if they come to Eagle Pass, what do they have to do? He goes, well, we really control things in Texas and in Eagle Pass and El Paso. Who's responsible for any type of border breach? If there is security at the border, who's responsible for that?

That'd be the state of Texas, which put up legions of Razorwire, brought in their National Guard, their state troopers, and completely put Eagle Pass on lockdown. Also, the Mexicans have stepped up on their side of the border. They've stopped the trains. They've stopped the buses. They're sending migrants back to southern Mexico.

So it's been Texas and Mexico cracking down. The U.S. government didn't do anything to stop anything going on in Texas. The U.S. government sued Texas for trying to secure their own border, and they've sued Texas at every turn when they try to do something.

So for my orcas to try to take credit for lower numbers in Eagle Pass, that is absolutely ridiculous. They sue them every time, Ryan.

So so right now, by the way, they see it, they fight to do it.

Now they're taking credit for it. But, Bill, right now, are we probably over the threshold for $2,500? You should be shutting the border down, correct? We should hear a big loud bell. We are over the threshold.

Yeah, you would think there's some sort of siren that goes off or something. But look, we've been talking to our contacts, whether it's ICE, CBP, Border Patrol, they're all telling us essentially it's just business as usual. And because there's so many exceptions with this thing, people will find ways around it. You might see a lull for the next coming days. Anytime there's a policy announcement change, the numbers usually drop for a little bit as the cartels kind of analyze and wait a little bit and see what's going on.

They'll poke and prod, send some invaders over, see if they get removed or released. There'll be a kind of wait and see phase, and then the numbers inevitably will go up again. If you remember, last year when Title 42 ended, the numbers dropped for a little bit, like dropped heavy. And DHS and MyOrcus came out with these press conferences taking total victory laps, saying, you know, we are we fixed the border, our policies fixed this, the numbers are falling off a cliff. What ended up happening?

six months after that, we had three hundred thousand in one month in December, and we hit the highest numbers in recorded history.

So if there is a little bit of a lull as a result of this order, we all know what's going to happen after that because the last few years have shown us the track record. Bill, great job anchoring. Let me ask some: when you leave the border, how long does it take for you to stop thinking about it? Yeah. I'm always thinking about it, man.

Even when I'm off, if I'm at the beach or at the gym or with my family, I'm still getting my phone blown up with ICE or Border Patrol contacts telling me stuff.

So, you know how it is in this business. The brain never turns off and you're never technically off the clock. It's 24-7. But you almost feel guilty. Because these guys work so hard, you almost feel guilty when you do leave.

You rarely leave because they're left in this hell. Yeah, no, I do feel for them, man. And their morale is just rock bottom right now. I really do feel for those guys. I mean, think about it, especially we're heading into summer.

Some of these guys will chase some of these illegals around for three hours in 116 degrees, mosquitoes biting their faces the whole time. They finally catch them, they spend the whole afternoon doing it, only to find out later they were released, and now they're in a five-star hotel in New York City. You know, it's crazy. Right. And then you have one 19-year-old who shot two cops on Monday morning, and he's part of a gang, a bloodthirsty gang.

Yep. And they dropped his entire immigration case on top of it, so he's not going to be deported. Yeah, on May 6th in Chicago. Amazing. Bill, they do an incredible job, and you're a great anchor.

I look forward to talking to you again soon. Thanks, Bill. Thanks, Brian. Appreciate it, man. You got it.

1866-408. 7669. I'll be able to squeeze in some calls. We'll go over some other stuff, too. The latest on the Hunter Biden trial.

You listen to the Brian Killmeat show. Want even more, Brian? Download the podcast at BrianKillmeadShow.com every episode. Exclusive interviews on demand. More of Killmead coming up.

The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead. You know, I spent more time. on my hands and knees. picking through rugs, smoking anything that r even remotely resembled cracked cocaine.

I probably smoked more parmesan cheese than anyone Yeah. Anyone that you know, I'm sure, Tracy. It's hysterical. That is Hunter Biden forced to go through his audiobook, his laptop. A lot of the pictures naked, doing crack with hookers.

And also, now he's got his ex-wife who says he owes him a ton. She is owed a ton of money in child support. And he's got a. Uh Bo Biden's widow is going to be testifying. That's the one who tossed the gun into the dumpster to begin with, and he refused to press charges on her when they finally got the gun.

And they're recreating all of it. Look, it looks dead to rights. Jonathan Turley weighed in on a cut ten. It's one of the most curious trials I've ever seen unfold because there really isn't a defense here. I mean the form is quite straightforward.

It asks, are you a drug user? And basically the trial began with Hunter Biden being called to testify against Hunter Biden. I mean they read from his book that said that he was an addict, that he was at times taking a hit of crack every 15 minutes. Yeah, so I don't understand why we're even having a trial. He didn't like the deal.

It was way too favorable for him, and now he's going to be looking at jail time if he's found guilty. Although everybody in Delaware knows him, I was in Delaware two months ago, and they were just saying that Joe Biden lives here. I live one mile from Joe Biden. Everything is by where Joe Biden's houses or houses are. He owns the place in Delaware.

And I don't really care if he gets convicted. I'm interested in the tax trial and to find out how much money he earned and where he got it from. And as they unwind his tax penalty over in California, I want to find out if where how his dad benefited from it and how much he's lied about it and let people know that. Carrier Bonn on this whole thing and talked about what they learned in day one and what they're learning now in day two. Cut 12.

So Ashley Biden apparently shed a few tears while we were in there. I didn't personally see that, but our producer Jake Gibson did. I have to tell you that, Jesse, I was a bit surprised about that given that Hunter Biden went on a pretty well-known book tour over this, about this book a couple of years ago. And we sat through listening to about an hour of Hunter's own words and his own voice, listening to his audiobook as he detailed his wild drug escapades, including him talking about how finding crack was his superpower. Yeah.

And he said he was uh he was able to get crack wherever he was because what he would find is look for hookers who party, and that means they have drugs. I did not know that. I didn't plan on learning that, but now I know it because of the Delaware trial of Hunter Biden.

So, the thing that bothers me most is the main source of intelligence is that laptop. And for the longest time, if you said the laptop was real, you were marginalized. If you brought it up on another channel, they now deny it. You were bringing up stuff that was Russian propaganda. Remember that?

Now we know that Mike Morrell and Anthony Blinken rounded up intelligence agents that would go on the record quickly before the debate for this select purpose, and up saying it's classic Russian disinformation. And they put their reputations on the line. John Podesta, not John Podesta, but Leon Panetta, all the way to John Brennan, of course, and all these people put their reputations on the line, and the anti-Trumpers. In order to give Joe Biden some plausible deniability. That bothered Miranda Devont, who wrote the book.

About the laptop from hell, cut sixteen. As Derek Hines said, the prosecutor in his opening statement, addiction is not a choice, but buying a gun illegally is a choice, and lying is a choice. And both of those things he is alleging that Hunter Biden did. And look, when you mention the laptop, today really it was a momentous occasion in the whole saga of the laptop that the New York Post has been living for the last three years and eight months since we first broke the story from the laptop showing that Joe Biden was involved in his family's influence peddling scheme around the world and there's evidence on that laptop galore. Yes, and that's why she wrote a book about it.

And when people talked about it, they said, Really? Is that really in there? And now I love this: Margaret Brennan, CNN.

Well, we never said the laptop wasn't real. We said we look like Russian classic Russians his information, but we talked about it. No, you never made it the center of anything. And you saw Chris Wallace and other moderators just cut anybody off that wanted to expand on it. And Joe Biden was able to get it out.

Donald Trump interrupted and said, This is Russian disinformation. And they sadly moved on to another topic.

So that's one of the things. The border is the other thing. And the other thing we haven't talked about is the Wall Street Journal came out with an editorial, long worked on. They talked to 45 separate lawmakers and officials about the state of Joe Biden's mind, essentially, and how he's acting behind closed doors.

Now, why would they do that? Because we keep hearing behind closed doors how lucid he is and how funny he is and how engaging he is.

Well, it turns out not many people agree with that. They bring up a story where he's sitting around at a table talking about in January Ukraine funding and everyone around the table was talking. He read from his cards generic things that everybody in the room knew. He barely said anything. When he was brought up in conversation, he passed it on.

One time he went to talk. closed his eyes, And everybody was convinced he fell asleep. An anonymous person on negotiations said this on Ukraine funding: you couldn't be there and not feel uncomfortable.

So, before you vote, if you're undecided, read the Time magazine story, cover story is of Joe Biden, and read the Wall Street Journal article and tell me what your questions are. And definitely watch One Nation on Saturday. We'll be bringing a lot of this up. You listen to Brian Kill Me Chill. Keep it here.
