Biden addresses the nation, avoids answering main question

From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmey. I have one Brian Kilmey here. Thankful to be with you on the most exciting news cycle in all of our lifetime. And I didn't live through the 60s, obviously.

But people that did said this is even crazier, maybe by the fact because of what's happening. I mean, just think about it. You got the election, which is dramatic. You have the RNC, which is always interesting. The naming of a vice president, which is always surprising, always gets you working.

But the assassination attempt, thankfully, hasn't happened since Ronald Reagan and before that. They tried to shoot Gerald Ford in the 60s at MLK. RFK, JFK, Med Grevers, I think was 1957. You know, Malcolm X was so we were seeing it non-stop.

So that was a crazy, violent time, along with the war backdrop. But I look at what's happening now, and I actually think this is busier. I mean, think about this. I will no longer run Joe Biden last night. Kamala Harris, first woman, she's now in.

came out of nowhere. A DNC which promises to be protest-filled of people who don't like Democrats, that should love Democrats in Chicago.

So, Adam Bowler is going to be with us shortly. He's the lead negotiator for the Abraham Accords. Douglas Brinkley, prestigious historian, will also put this in perspective for us.

So, for now, let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. On July 6th. He did a Google search. For quote, How far away was Oswald?

From Kennedy. And so that's a search that obviously is significant in terms of his state of mind. That is Christopher Wray, the assassination investigation getting more concerning with every revelation. The only good thing, bipartisan motivation to find out what went wrong and fix it. Number two.

Well, I have a message for these protesters. When the tyrants of Tehran, who hang gays from cranes, And murder women for not covering their hair. Are praising, promoting, and funding you. You have officially become Iran's useful idiots.

So glad you didn't soft pedal the protesters. They don't have a point. They are wrong. They're evil. Most financed by Iran.

I don't think most are Americans. Prime Minister Netanyahu speaks to Congress. He was simply brilliant. He was direct and defining. The Dems embarrassed themselves, and protesters embarrassed the country.

Number So I've decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. That's the best way to unite our nation. There's also a time and a place for new voices. And that time and place is now. And that address should have happened, I don't know, March.

President Biden does not tell the truth on why he's not running for re-election. He's at the Oval, spoke for 11 minutes, and avoids answering the main question. President Trump rallies for the first time since Biden's exit and takes aim at Kamala as we all begin to look at her record. And in terms of getting America excited, great presentation, wonderful on-the-prompter, decent crowds, lots of energy. But when it comes to who she is, what she's done, and what she stands for, that's where the problem is.

But first, President Biden spoke 11 minutes, said, I'm out. He waited, he said, because his voice was raspy.

So they put together this speech. Here's a little of it: cut one. America's going to have to choose. between moving forward or backward. between hope and hate.

Between unity and division We have to decide do we still believe in honesty? Decency. Respect. freedom, justice, and democracy. In this moment, We can see those we disagree with not as enemies but as fellow Americans.

Can we do that? Does character in public life still matter? I believe you know the answer to these questions. Because I know you, the American people. And I know this.

We are a great nation. because we are good people. All right, some good lines in there. But the whole thing was veiled shots at Donald Trump. They believe he's anti-democratic, wants to be a dictator.

Goodbye democracy. That is the same rhetoric that gets people trying to shoot him. Don't really think that that's really the most responsible thing to do. And again, inappropriate. I thought a State of the Union had the wrong message.

It was a campaign speech. Just tell us how the country's doing. And I think this speech didn't address the main thing. Why are you leaving? Time to pass the torch.

Well, why? You said that you were the best vehicle. You said you were staying in the race because you didn't know how divided the country was. You're the best to move forward with it. You said, I'm not going anywhere multiple times.

And then you got COVID. Two days later, you got out.

So we still don't know the answer. I don't get emotional about his career. I don't get emotional about him. I believe he did launch those investigations into his opponent. I do believe he didn't listen to any generals in Afghanistan.

I don't believe that he ever meets with his cabinet, nor do they listen, nor does he dictate. I think this country is running without a leader. Let his family feel bad that they're no longer going to be in power, and people will listen to him even less. But for me, My heart does not go out to them at all. Donald Trump was on with his unfoxing friends last half hour.

Here's what he said. About his demise. Not his demise, but Biden's demise, cut five. They didn't want him running. He was way down in the polls and they thought he was going to lose.

They went to him and they said, you can't win the race, which I think is true unless I did something very foolish, which I wasn't going to do. And I think he was so far down and they said you're not going to win and you're not in great shape and you did poorly in the debate. I think the debate started everything. That really started the fall. Knocked him out.

He said, you know, basically, he opened up his speech last night by saying he knocked him out. And this morning, I think he expanded on that. What Trump said. About the Oval Office was his Truth Social post last night. Speech was barely understandable and so bad.

Kamala Harris wrote: President Biden has profound compassion for the people of our country are all deeply, deeply grateful for his service. All right. We'll see. It was the stab in the back from people from his own team. Stab in the back for Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, Senator Schumer.

And the people that know it are Senator Coons, Senator Fetterman, and his entire inner staff, the nuclear staff.

So that's what makes this week historic. I mean, whatever you think of the president, him saying I'm not running again, here's my explanation four days later matters. Kamala Harris on the stump for two more times matters. Finding out yesterday that I think by August 7th she's going to get the formal nomination unless someone comes out of nowhere to run, but no one in the mainstream is running. It looks like Mark Kelly really wants to be the number two.

It looks like Bashir of Kentucky won't even get. Will not even get a look. He's not even gonna get a background check.

So we'll see where this goes. I don't want to play her much because she's the biggest waste of time in my lifetime. But she was asked, KJP, directly about: are you lying to us? You told us the president was functioning so well, doing so great.

Well, he didn't tell us at night why he's leaving, and he still hasn't expressed. Why is the timing right now when this is the latest anyone's ever waited to basically give up a nomination? that they earned.

So listen to this non-answer. She totally doesn't understand that the American people are onto this. Cut 10. It would seem that people in this White House knew. that President Biden was slipping.

And it was hidden from the American people.

So who Ordered. White House officials to cover up. A declining president. I know that that is a narrative that you love. First of all, there's been no cover-up.

Want to be very clear about that. I know that's the narrative that you all want. It is not a cover-up. I know that is the narrative that you all want. It is not.

Okay. Can you repeating yourself? I don't know what book page you're going to be on. We all know it was. We hear the diplomats talking.

We hear the foreign leaders referring to his being out of it in meetings. We see the days off he needs after he travels. We also find out, thankfully, the story is beginning to come out, how he really made no sense in 2021, how concerned people were, like the congressman from Massachusetts, when they saw him, he looked like he wasn't even there. Kevin McCarthy said the same thing. You can pretend as if he's fine.

We know he's not. And we know that all the higher-ups know he's not. It's not that his polls are down, it's that he's out of it. I'm not sure how we're going to get through the next five months. Politically, it's definitely to the advantage of Republicans for him to stay in, but it's not an advantage to our country.

Don't think I didn't see and you didn't see that the Russians and Chinese buzzed our airspace yesterday in Alaska, first time ever together.

So, the other big story is the decisions yesterday for dozens of Democrats to boycott the speech of Benjamin Netanyahu, for staffers of congressmen and women to walk out at 1:30 when he started speaking. Idiots like the squad members holding up signs that say war criminal while staying in the stands. They didn't understand that our ally has a leader in Prime Minister Netanyahu who's in an impossible situation. He literally is being attacked from seven sides, but the first people he's dealing with is Hamas, and he's doing it in the most Uh Sanitized way possible, but it doesn't mean some innocents won't die, mainly because Hamas hides underground. But I love Netanyahu's address.

I love that he included uh soldiers. I love that it included Uh spouses, I love they included hostages who have been released.

So I love what he also said about the protesters that defiled the statue the statue of Columbus at Union Station and burned our flag and flew the Palestinian flag. CUP 36. For all we know. Iran is funding the anti-Israel protests that are going on right now outside this building. Not that many, but they're there and throughout the city.

Well, I have a message for these protesters. When the tyrants of Tehran, who hang gays from cranes, And murder women for not covering their hair. Are praising, promoting, and funding you, you have officially become Iran's useful idiots. And that's the kindest words you'll hear. I will certainly not be in that nice.

He is 100% right, Mr. Prime Minister. When we come back, I ask Adam Bowler about this and how he would deal with Iran if he gets back in with Donald Trump. If Donald Trump wins. Brian Killmead Show.

So glad you're here. It's Brian Killmead. That is the sound of an expensive car repair about to happen. And to prevent breaking the bank with your out-of-warranty vehicle, you should call CarShield, America's number one automotive protection company. CarShield has helped save drivers big dollars on car repairs.

Don't risk paying out of pocket for expensive repairs. For dollars a day, you can have protection coast to coast on up to 5,000 parts and systems. That's protection on your engine, transmission, entertainment system, plus so much more. And your plan also comes with 24-7 roadside assistance, courtesy towing, and rental options. Best of all, your rates will never go up as long as you cover your vehicle.

That's money in the bank. All you have to do is call CarShield before a breakdown. Get protection on your car, truck, or SUV that comes with unlimited miles and the peace of mind you get with CarShield. Don't wait another minute. Call CarShield now.

Call 800-204-0239. That's 800-204-0239. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead. We're not only protecting ourselves.

We're protecting you, my friends, if you remember one thing, one thing from the speech. Remember this. Our enemies are your enemies. Our fight is your fight. And our victory will be your victory.

Ladies and gentlemen, that victory is in sight. Israel's defeat of Hamas. will be a powerful blow. to Iran's access of terror. Yeah, 100%.

And you also brought up the fact that you said, don't go into Rafah. He went into Rafah. They're all set. They blew up a lot of those tunnels and routed a lot of those terrorists. Adam Bowl knows all about it, lead negotiator with the Abraham Accords, founder and CEO of Rubicon.

Adam, welcome back. Do you agree with the sentiments of the Prime Minister just now? Yeah. I thought that his speech was one of the best speeches that I have heard given in those chambers. Uh Um Factual Um very compelling.

Yeah, I think it's a very good question. if people were listening. And I think that Netanyahu's absolutely correct, and our support is vital here.

So what Nancy Pelosi said is Netanyahu's presentation in the House chamber today was by far the worst presentation of any foreign dignitary invited and honored with the privilege of addressing Congress. Why does she feel so differently, or does she? I mean, I the truth, you can tell, and Pelosi and I might not enjoy hanging out and having drinks together. The reality is, I'd be surprised if she listened to the whole thing. And what you have is you have a contingent of Congress on the democratic side that has made this political.

And it shouldn't be political. And it all has to do with places like Michigan. or Minnesota, where people are vot you have voters that care about this particular issue, and so they've decided not to go And listen to the head of a country speak that's one of our greatest allies. In, by the way, an extremely bipartisan way. I think Detanyah did a great job, and I think it's embarrassing.

that people like Pelosi. the dozens of Democrats did that didn't attend. that Vice President Harris Was that a sorority event? I thought that was really interesting too. Man, if you're going to go to another event, maybe come up with something better, but a sorority event, I think it's embarrassing for the United States.

But the whole problem is Iran. You know it. You live it. But he pointed it out. They're getting hit by seven sides.

You know, they got Iran's in Syria. Iran financing and training Hezbollah. You know that they financed Hamas and helped construct the battle plan October 7th. We know that they're funding the Houthis, creating havoc with Saudi Arabia and especially in Yemen, where they're located, shutting down two waterways in the region, targeting us hundreds of times. It all goes back to Iran.

It's not a mystery, is it, Adam? It's not a mystery. And this administration has allowed Iran to get much more significant in scale and size and attacks. And that's because we are not policing. We're letting Iran sell oil.

And that has enabled all of these things. I mean, it's funny. Joe Biden will say, Well, who else would you trust to preside over all of this turbulence and wars that have happened? I can root it to very few things and it was Self-inflicted, which is when you allow the terrorist state of Iran. to get wealthy, they use that wealth across their proxies and they attack.

When you don't take action and you have an embarrassment like our retreat from Afghanistan, that gave us all views of what happened in Vietnam. with people hanging off of our planes and dying as they fall. We look like cowards.

Okay. Uh that encourages a strong man like Putin to know This is his opportunity. And I will tell you something about Hamas. When I was in the administration, when I was negotiating with a group The Abraham Accords. It was unclear whether Hamas would come to the good side, and I think they would flip one way or the other, but with a weak administration.

like the Biden-Harris administration, they're going to flip aggressive. because there's no one to hold them back.

So you're absolutely correct. These are self-inflicted wounds, and now we have to hear the rhetoric. That only This administration can handle the actual wounds that they inflicted.

So I want you to hear what President Trump told us on Fox and Friends last hour: Cut 47. October seventh would have never happened if I was President. There was no chance. Iran was broke. They had no money for Hamas or Hezbollah.

It just wouldn't have happened. Zero chance. By the way, Ukraine, the attack by Russia, would have never happened And he went on to say that the last person to visit there to stop the invasion was Kamah Harris.

So do you know, Adam, his sentiment is correct. He he doesn't think it would have happened because they knew they were firmly in Iran's court, and so were the other nations you were working with on the Abraham Accords. You know, President Trump, as we all know, Friends, foes, everybody knows he can be given to exaggeration and superlatives, right? He says the best of everything, right? He's funny.

I find it funny. This was not an exaggeration. I will tell you, and I had the top clearance in the United States when I worked in the administration, there was never a time where we feared or saw movement or anything was happening relative to Ukraine. There was never a time. I mean, I'll tell you something, quite frankly, everybody on both sides was so afraid to have any contact because there was the witch hunt that somehow we were in collusion with Russia.

So every contact was heavily monitored. Everybody was nervous all the time because there wasn't, you know, everybody was going to jump on you. But That never would have happened. And I will tell you one other thing because I don't want to just say, oh, It never would have happened, but let's talk about now. Let's talk about now that it's happening.

I want to ask another question, which is how is it possible, how is it plausible that we have five Americans that are there and we don't do anything? Nothing. They're there. Do uh we don't ever hear of them. I know.

We have five hostages still alive there. There were over 30 attacked that day, and two more bodies turned up dead two days ago. But we'll see if this has ceasefire allows more. I hear there's only about 22 left, and they're missing over 100 at them.

So it's just ugly all around. Would you go back if Trump asked you? Uh It would depend on the role, like a lot of people say. I run a firm now. There are certain things, for example, that are even part-time, like negotiating for hostages.

Gotcha. And when I think about a role that would make me very happy. You got it, Adam. Thanks. Radio that makes you think.

This is the Brian Kill Me Show.

So I decided the best way forward is the past the torch to a new generation. It's the best rating in I in our nation. You know, there is a time and a place or long years of experience in public life. But there's also a time and a place for new voices. Fresh voices.

Yes, younger voices. And that time and place is now. I guess so. Although two weeks ago, he said he was the right person. He isn't going anywhere.

He's doubling down. He was going to get Delaware banks to pay up. Then he got COVID, then he went home. and then he resigned, and made it official last night. Douglas Sprinkley joins us now, one of America.

We just lost him, but in a matter of moments, we'll get him back. Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian, professor of history at Rice University, does a fantastic job for all my projects, too, and is kind enough to endorse the President Freedom Fighter as well as Teddy and Booker T, which is out now. August 27th, they'll be on stage in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, by the way. There's some tickets left. BrianKilme.com.

Hope to see you in person. VIP is right before. Um so we'll see we'll see about we got him? Douglas, welcome back. We almost had him.

We don't have 'em.

Okay. We'll see where we go. All right. To put it in perspective, his address last night. Are those a little confusing?

I think the bottom line is there's going to be books written about it, the steps since the debate to get Joe Biden just to relinquish the nomination, that he got over 4,000 delegates. It was his. He was all set. He was going to be the focus of the DNC coming up August 19th, right in August, leading up to Labor Day, and maybe get some momentum and try to push past Trump. But Trump's much stronger than anybody thought.

He's doing much better than anyone thought. The court cases, instead of hurting him, have helped him. Then he starts beating the court cases, adding more to that. The escape, the assassination that happened two Saturdays ago made him stronger. And also, what makes him stronger is a lot of the policies that he was pursuing are ones we miss.

And when you see what Kamo Harris stands for, you see the problems that could be there.

Now, I don't ask you to go by what I say Kamo Harris says and believes. We can go by what she believes and has said in the past. That's where she's going to be vulnerable.

So For the first time, we're going to have a in a long time, we have a lame duck in the office. It's no last one was Barack Obama. Before that was George W. Bush. Barack Obama has vice president running.

George W. Bush didn't. He was back to you. I don't think at the end he was even speaking to Dick Cheney. Douglas Brinkley is here now.

Hey, Douglas. Brink, that's why. Douglas, you there? Yes. Hey, it's Brian.

You're on. When will I be on? How about now? You're on right now, Douglas. Hold on one sec.

Yeah. Um Never really had this happen before. Hold on one second.

So we're supposed to check. I guess he's in a different room or an airport.

So we'll see where that goes. I want you to hear a little more of the speech. Here is cut three. You know, in recent weeks it's become clear to me. I need to unite my party.

in this critical endeavor. I believe. My record is president. My leadership in the world. My vision for America's future.

All married at a second term. But nothing. Nothing. can come in the way of saving our democracy. That includes personal ambition.

So They say his personal ambition would have stayed in the late democracy. He said he was the best person to win. Number one. Number two is that's how they labeled Trump: a threat to democracy. The way you ran, nobody loves January sixth, but if you're actually going to just have your whole campaign over January sixth, maybe we should run your whole campaign, President Biden, over the Afghanistan exit.

Although that was legitimately all your decision, the only thing I could say about Trump is he legitimately had a rally and said go over to the Capitol. Uh what happened after that wasn't. But I would say Afghanistan a whole lot worse. The only thing different is all the lawmakers were targeted. But don't ever think it was a good day, but it's hard to believe that's how he wants to win four more years.

So Trump probably didn't like the speech. I'm not sure if you like the speech, but Kamala Harris is already campaigning. She's basically taking the President's whole staff, including the headquarters, and then took them to Indianapolis. Here's her message, cut eleven. In this moment.

Our nation needs your leadership once again. In this moment, I believe we face a choice. between two different visions for our nation. one focused on the future The other focused on the past. And with your support I am fighting for our nation's future.

And let us be clear. about what that future looks like. I know the leaders in this room. And I know the future we believe in and we fight for. Uh I'm not sure.

Uh the speech's fine. Donald Trump's a terrible person, democracy on the line. That's what she's going to pick up. But my problem with Kamala Harris is what she would do if she was president. Because the only thing we can go by is what she's done as vice president or not done, and what she was trying to say that she would have been like had she got the nomination and went on to win the presidency when Joe Biden won it.

And you saw that.

So listen to Kamala Harris. Talk about what she's done in the past. This is this I know the media loves her now. But these oh but these words and these statements made everybody in the left worry Cut sixteen.

So I say as we work to build a brighter future. and to move our nation forward. I am prepared. To get rid of the filibuster, to pass a Green New Deal. There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking.

So, would you ban offshore drilling? Yes. And I've again worked on that. We need to have Medicare for all. Who of us has not had that situation where you've got to wait for approval and the doctor says, well, I don't know if your insurance company is going to cover this?

Let's eliminate all of that. Let's move on. It's simply wrong that we have a situation where the pharmaceutical companies have been dictating prices. Affordable health care should not be a privilege. It should be a right.

Yeah. Can't do it. We have a situation then that's like London and Canada. Uh England and Canada. It doesn't work, that healthcare system.

She didn't even think it through. She can't go into detail on any of this. And the word is, the reputation went right through the vice president's office. She won't read the briefing pages.

So she's going to have to defend all this.

So, no one's cutting her off prematurely. No, this is not an edit issue. She's going to see all this, and I got so much more from what she stands for. And including the new Green Deal to the tenth power to the tune of $10 trillion.

So we come back. We'll try to hook up with Douglas Brinkley successfully. We'll also show you more about Kamala Harris and how she would lead. Don't move. Both sides, all opinions, it's Brian Killmeat.

Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. I thoroughly understand it. If you're a Democrat, you're dealing with, you really saddle with Joe Biden, you had to make excuses, you couldn't really dictate anything, wasn't doing interviews, wasn't doing press conferences, trying to run over packages that he did two years ago. He's done nothing since the House flipped.

So. You have Kamala Harris, who can speak. Goes in front of a crowd, is excited, and people are like, oh my goodness, this is fantastic. But we don't forget what she stood for, why she flamed out, and what she would do as president. Don't you think those things are important?

I don't care about her gender. I don't care about her race. I just want to know what kind of president she would be. And then, in retrospect, you could say first woman, you know, first man, first billionaire, oldest president. You can talk about that later.

But I think it's important that we just go over where she stood in her own words, and then she could try to say, well, that's what I would do now that I'm president. But President Biden either kept me down Or President Biden educated me on how most of these policies wouldn't be effective. Either way, I think she's got credibility issues. Number one credibility issue is this. You kept telling everyone President Biden's great.

You also say you have lunch once a week. Please don't tell me you expect us to think that during those lunches you didn't look at him and wonder, is he all there ever? Cut 17 is a little of Kamala Harris in her own words. Plastic straws are a big thing right now. Yeah.

Do you ban plastic straws? I think we should. Yes. I think there's no question that we've got to critically re-examine ICE and its role and the way that it is being administered and the work it is doing. I am in favor of saying that we're not going to treat people who are undocumented and cross-border as criminals.

That's correct. That is correct. For far too long, the status quo thinking has been to believe that by putting more police on the street, you're going to have more safety. And that's just wrong. But would you support changing the dietary guidelines?

Yes, you know, the food pyramid. What would people reduce red meat specifically? Yes, I would. Yeah. Red meat, no drilling, re-examine ice.

No, police don't mean they're more safe. If you're a cop in a cop family, you cannot vote for this. Joe Biden says, listen, I was too tough on crime in the 90s. And then in 2000, I said, you know, maybe we should examine this, but I never, you really couldn't say. Defund the police and Joe Biden.

He said one he had one comment, but for the most part, that goes right to the squad, it goes right to her. This is what she stands for. Also. Talks about educating.

Now, what are they doing in California? Free education, free health care, non-criminalization of going across the border illegally. How's that going? Tons of homeless, overcrowded classrooms, kids that don't speak English, a state that's overtaxed, and as beautiful and diverse as it is, it has more people leaving than coming for the first time in modern American history. That's bad leadership.

She wants to bring that to the country. Cut eighteen. The bill also says quote Every individual who is a resident of the United States is entitled to benefits for health care services under this act. Not every individual who's a citizen. but every individual who's a resident.

So you support giving universal health care, Medicare for all to people who are in this country illegally. Let me just be very clear about this. I am opposed to any policy. that would deny in our country any human being from access to public safety Public education or public health, period.

So who's paying? Who's paying for all 8 million more, maybe 11 million more under her reign for free health care and free education? It is you and it is me. But you just say whatever you want to be president. But we were recording a lot of it.

Now, AOC is out there. She just gets elected. She wants to make the whole country socialist. Listen to how she handles this CUT20. Alexandria Opasio-Cortez is the new darling of the party.

She officially has more Twitter followers than Nancy Pelosi. She's on 60 Minutes this weekend, proudly calling herself a radical. And she's promoting policies like saying that every single carbon emission in the country, every car, should be eliminated within the next 11 years, everything from a 70 to 80 percent tax rate. Do you agree that she could possibly, in this ideology of the socialist left, could splinter your party? No.

You know, I think that. She is challenging the status quo. I think that's fantastic. I think that she is introducing bold ideas that should be discussed. Huh.

I mean th the thing is You should be discussing eighty percent tax rate? It should be discussed. To me, if you want to be president, you want a higher office, you cannot be talking about taxing American people 80%. You cannot talk about defunding ICE. You cannot say more police is not better, it doesn't bring more safety.

You cannot say no fracking. You cannot say, I'm not no more offshore building. You can't say billing, drilling, what do I say? And you can't say. In my view, I'm going to get rid of private insurance.

That's what she stood for. And the reason why she flamed out is every question seemed to have caught her by surprise. But is it going to be different now? Douglas Brinkley joins us, presidential historian. Not yet.

All right. We'll go back to finishing up these policies. All right. Um Here's what she said about that.

So you have where she stands on all these other issues. Here's President Trump on the attack plan. See, I don't know if you've heard the last two days, but Harris has been attacking Donald Trump on one way and one way only, saying that I'm a prosecutor, he's a predator, and he has business fraud, and he's a convicted criminal, and I've made a career going after her.

So it was my idea actually during the interview on Fox and Friends to play that cut. Of what she said over the last two days, and see how Donald Trump would respond. Cut 21. They push all these cases on me. They're the ones that started.

And then they say, I'm a prosecutor. He's a criminal. They're the ones. Every case is started by them. And I'm winning the cases.

But every case and the big one I just won in Florida was just thrown out by a a brilliant judge, to be honest with you. And it's disgraceful. It's disgraceful that they can do this. It's called weaponization and it does happen in other countries.

So I asked him, Do do these attacks get under your skin? And he says no, but he knows they're responsible for those civil cases, especially in New York. Joining us now is Douglas Brinkley. Douglas. Hey, how you doing, Brian?

I'm doing good. How does how does last night's speech compare to 1968?

Well, in nineteen sixty eight, Lyndon Johnson really surprised the nation in March of nineteen thirty one. He was able to go on television and do it directly, and it shocked everybody. It was shocking all. You turned in and my God, Johnson's dropping out. He didn't have any drama last night.

And originally, the fact that Biden isn't running pre-election. Was broken in the news media via a letter Biden wrote and was distributed on X and other social media platforms. But the similarity is a poor approval ratings In Vietnam, we were sending troops And we were mired in war in '68, but Joe Biden is overseeing America's. A wars. In Gaza, Israel, and against trying to protect Ukraine.

So there's some similarities there. That if And now what we do know for certain is Biden will go down in history as a one-term president. Best bet legacy-wise is to try to frame it like Jimmy Carter or perhaps George Herbert Walker Bush. but he won't be able to be seen as a transformational precedent. Here is what LBJ sounded like when he surprised everyone March before the November election.

With America's future. under challenge right here at home. With our hopes and the world's hopes. for peace and the balance every day. I do not believe.

That I should devote an hour or a day of my time to any personal partisan causes. or to any duties Other. than the awesome duties of this office. The presidency. Of your country.

Douglas, from what you know, did he have a shot at winning if he stuck with it? He did have a shot of winning. But again, you know, he it was started out in 1968 very badly with the Tet Offensive, meaning North Korea, I mean, North Vietnam was. really scoring points on the US. And in ransacking our airports and embassies in South Vietnam.

But he had bad health. He was really a chain smoker. He had heart attacks. High blood pressure. And he had a wife who didn't like power.

And Lady Bird Johnson told her husband, we got to quit.

So we've done our time in Washington. We've been here a while. Let's get out. And they did. And of course, it led to Robert F.

Kennedy soaring. In actually going in, winning the California primary, looked like the presumptive nominee when Sir Hans Sir Hans shot him at the Ambassador Hotel. In Los Angeles. And after Kenny was killed, there was more and more mayhem in the streets. Much of it's civil rights related with Dr.

King, who also was killed then in Memphis. And it left the Chicago Convention, just utter chaos of yippies and hippies, and a group of Moab and Black Panthers, all fighting against Mayor Daly's police force in the National Guard. It's going to be similar in Chicago now, only it's going to be Hamas. It's going to be Gaza. And you saw what they did to Union Square.

It is going to be that with what happened at Union Square, but multiply it one hundred times. There will be a massive protest in Chicago. And it's one of the issues President Trump will look to seize upon that he is the law and order. President. And you're a great historian.

Douglas Brinkley, thanks so much. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show. Brian. In Kill Mead. Hi, everyone.

So glad you're here. Come to you from Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, around the world. Seems like 10 years ago that I was in Milwaukee doing the RNC, talking to Hulk Hogan. But things have really accelerated since, and we know what's happened. We know it was one of the most successful conventions you'll see anywhere.

Proper momentum made. Donald Trump's never been more popular. And of course, beating the assassination a couple of days before, he still showed up in Milwaukee and he sat in on every single one.

Now, you thought that would be part of the news story, but things have accelerated to such a degree, it's not even close. This hour will talk to Arya Lightstone, senior advisor to Ambassador David Friedman under the Trump administration. And I got to get his take on the Prime Minister's address yesterday, and Mark Thiessen standing by.

So let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. On July 6th. He did a Google search. For quote, How far away was Oswald From Kennedy.

And so that's a search that obviously is significant in terms of his state of mind. That's a little interesting, Christopher Wray. Assassination investigation gets more concerning with every revelation. The only good thing, bipartisan motivation to find out what went wrong and fix it. Number two.

Well, I have a message for these protesters. When the tyrants of Tehran, who hang gains from cranes, And murder women for not covering their hair. Are praising, promoting, and funding you. You have officially become Iran's useful idiots.

I'm so glad he was direct. Prime Minister Netanyahu speaks to Congress. He was brilliant, direct, defining. The Dems embarrassed themselves, and protesters embarrassed the country. Number one.

So I decided the best way forward is the past the torch to a new generation. That's the best way to unite our nation. There's also a time and a place for new voices. That time and place is now. One that's not going to whisper.

Oboe address. A president's speech avoids answering the main question. President Trump rallies for the first time since Biden's exit and takes him at Kamala as we all begin to look at her record, including Mark Thiessen in his column today. I love your headline: Harris is a gaff-prone leftist.

So, why didn't anyone challenge her?

So, that is strange. Mark, I think to a degree. Nancy Pelosi and Obama and company are surprised no one challenged her. Do you? I think you're right.

I mean, first of all, I mean, they spent three weeks in a circular firing squad.

So they immediately snapped into unity. But seriously, I was on Falk News Sunday with Shannon on Sunday, and we were talking to the Democrats, and they're saying, oh, there's going to be a process, and there's going to be, you know, there's going to be a mini primary and all this. And then, boom, like within 24 hours, it's like the Politburo has spoken. She's the nominee. And, you know, she is really a deeply, deeply vulnerable candidate.

She has never gotten a primary vote in her entire life, either this year or in 2020, because she flamed out before the 2020 primary started. She has fewer primary votes than Uncommitted and fewer primary votes than Dean Phillips. She polls. beneath Joe Biden and beneath Donald Trump. And she doesn't do any better than him in most of the polls.

So I don't understand this. And then on top of that, remember last four years ago when the Democrats panicked that Bernie Sanders was going to be the nominee, and so they all rallied around Joe Biden as a sort of the moderate centrist alternative that could be palatable to voters? She's to the left of Bernie Sanders. I mean, they literally, there's a Gulf Track, which is a nonpartisan watchdog, ranks votes, says that she of one hundred senators, she was the fur the number one hundred as far as for the furthest to the left.

So she she literally is more more uh she it's like they nominated a member of the squad. To be their candidate.

So we're not even pretending to be moderate anymore. Yeah, I mean, she said that in CBS to Nora O'Donnell, and they said that it's not my opinion. You've been ranked. To the left. And why?

She's for the new Green Deal, cost $10 trillion. She's for banning fracking, bearing offshore drilling, decriminalizing border crossings. She wants to defund the police and defund ICE.

Okay, good luck with that. Americans don't want that. We're going to find out. But it didn't stop the media from suddenly realizing she's the best candidate ever, cut fifteen. Free at last, free at last.

Kamala Harris is unleashed. She's just brilliant. The energy that's coming off of her is the energy that's coming off of the American people. This is 2008 vibes already. You are witnessing the birth of a cultural phenomenon, and you need a cultural phenomenon to stop a cultural phenomenon.

Vice President Harris is poised to get this nomination, this presidential nomination. It is gratifying, and I think it's a sign of strength. I just think about. Uh pride. For so many voters that are going to look at her and see themselves in her.

We've been talking a little bit tonight about just what's coming her way, which is sexism, misogyny, racism, a lot of this. And I mean, making fun of her laugh. I hope she never changes her laugh, by the way.

Okay, that was all MSNBC.

Sorry to put you through that. But the first one we see it in.

So, your thoughts?

So first of all, she's a terrible candidate, which is why she didn't even make it to the Iowa caucuses last year. She has this grating habit of saying simple-minded things with a deeply profound voice, like there is a significance of the passage of time. The passage of time has significance. Yeah. And then she talks to people like they're idiots.

I mean, have you seen the interview where she says, so Ukraine is a small country? And it's next to a big country named Russia. And the big country, Russia, invaded the small country, Ukraine. And so we think that's wrong. This is like, you know, this is somebody who wants to be commander-in-chief.

She is, you know, everybody freaked out about the, you know, the Biden debate. We're, we're one. Dumb interviews. Bad press conference away from her like setting the whole Democratic Party back into a panic. She's better on the stump than President Biden.

Almost everybody is. And look at what they're taking an aim at. Everybody's taking aim at this. They even came up in Christopher Wray's testimony, cut twelve.

So I say as we work to build a brighter future and to move our nation forward. We must also recognize there are those who are trying to take us backward. You may have seen their agenda. Part of it is called Project 2025.

Now, can you believe they put that in writing? 900 pages of it. Project 2025. A plan to return America to a dark past. These extremists want to take us back.

But we are not going back. We are not going to be able to do it.

So we asked Trump this. I don't know if you pulled it, Eric, but I asked him about 2025. They keep on bringing it up. It's a 900-page tomb put together by the Heritage Foundation. It's very conservative.

He says there's some good things in it, but a lot of his stuff is nutty and extreme. And he answered that this morning. But they're not going to stop it. I've never seen anything like it. It's not grounded in any truth.

Well, this is how, you know, what a disaster Kevin Phillips and the Heritage Foundation are: they've saddled Donald Trump with this. Kevin Roberts, I'm sorry. Kevin Roberts and the Heritage Foundation. This is the think tank that was Ronald Reagan's favorite think tank, that was the intellectual powerhouse behind the Reagan Revolution. And they've completely abandoned all of their Reaganite principles.

They're opposed to supporting freedom fighters around the world. They're for cutting the defense budget. And they laid out all these things in an effort to trumpify themselves so they could appeal to Donald Trump and become Donald Trump's favorite think tank. And he's completely dissed them because some of their ideas are absolutely batwano crazy.

So, you know, great job, Heritage, for trying for giving the Democrats their number one talking point. What I'm worried about is Kamala Harris's Project 2025. which she hasn't put down in writing, but we can look at her record and see.

So you ticked off some of the things she talked about in the 2019 campaign. Brian Riedel from the Manhattan Institute back in 2019 added up all of her he's the best budget analyst in America, by the way. He added up all of her proposals and how much they would cost. She proposed $46 trillion in new spending. Right.

Biden spent like, what, four or five trillion dollars? Forty six. Trillion dollars that she has put that she that she wants to spend. This is This is Democr she is a full-on Democratic socialist. She is the squad, she's AOC, she's Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren combined, except she doesn't have their eloquence.

she's and she is and she is she she ha is as gaff prone as Joe Biden without the excuse of age, but she's as socialist as as as much of a socialist as this is the this is the most dangerous extreme candidate that the Democratic Party has ever put forward in its history.

Well, a couple of things. I don't think she ever did the math. She just says stuff. I want everybody I want to get rid of private insurance and pay for everything. I want to take care of every all all things, uh school, housing, food and health care for illegal immigrants.

Do you think she's doing the math on that? No, I don't think she can do math. I mean, she's a c she's a uh she's an episode of Veep come to life. And again, this is a person who's risen above their station by virtue of identity politics. I mean, keep in mind, you know, Joe Biden.

Said that the reason he chose her was because of gender and identity.

So, this is not something that the conservatives have come up with. He said, I'm picking a black woman for my vice president and then chose her.

So, the field was narrowed, and she was it. And the reason why nobody has challenged her. is because all if you look at all the people they're considering for Vice President, They're all almost all of them are white males. Right. All the all the candidates everybody says says are more electable is like Josh Shapiro and and uh and uh yeah B Andy Brashir and Ro and Cooper in uh from a marketing They're never going to challenge her.

Kelly, Mark Kelly. They're never going to challenge her because the party of identity politics will never pick a white male over a black woman, and they don't want to be tarred as racists. For having taken the challenge and knocked off the first black woman ever to lead a major party candidate, a major party platform.

So they're not going to run.

So I want you to hear what Kevin McCarthy said is how you attack her and the mistakes Republicans are making, Cut 28. Two attacks I've heard Republicans give that are totally stupid and dumb to do is the DEI attack.

Okay? The other attack that I would not do is saying that the President has to resign. Interesting. That would be an advantage for Kamla. Air Force One is very powerful when it lands somewhere.

And you know what?

Something will happen between now and the election, a hurricane or something else, and she'll be able to present herself as a leader. Or maybe there is some foreign policy. That is a mistake for any leader to go out and say that on the Republican side. This DEI, that seems like a petty. Look, I disagree with DEI, but she's the Vice President of the United States.

She is the former U.S. Senator. These congressmen that are saying it, they're wrong in their own instance.

So that's good advice, isn't it? It is very good advice. And I'm not saying it as an attack on her. I'm saying I'm explaining it as why no one's challenging her inside the Democratic Party. Because she would turn around and accuse them of racism the way she accused Joe Biden of racism, right?

So that's why she's got a lock on the nomination. That doesn't mean that's the way to attack her in the campaign. And he's 100% right. We do not want Joe Biden to resign. First of all, putting aside the advantages of flying on Air Force One, this woman should never be anywhere near the Oval Office.

Or if she is, she should be in there as a guest. not sitting behind the resolute desk. And the idea that she would run the country for even five months is terrifying to me.

So we should not want that as conservatives. I'd rather have a mentally deficient president than a socialist. uh in that position. I imagine they're not going to have any sit-down interviews with her because they realize this, right? Great, 'cause you can't speak.

But do you think when do you think she does it? Do you think she does it before the convention?

Well, here's the problem. The longer they the longer it takes. This is why not having a primary is damaging, right?

So part of the process of the primary is to t it's like the preseason in hockey. Like you go out and you take your y your recruits and give them and put them on the ice in NHL hockey and give them a chance to see show if they can sink or swim, right? Sh last time she tried it, she sank. She was a disastrous candidate. She didn't even make it to Iowa.

If you don't have a problem, you know, if you look on the Republican side, a candidate that looks good on paper doesn't necessarily do well. I mean, Tim Scott looks great on paper. He's a great man, has a great life story. And he just didn't connect with voters for whatever reason, just never took off. And all of a sudden, Nikki Haley took off, which I wouldn't have expected necessarily, but she ended up having a bunch of great debates and sort of rose to the top of that field.

It's like you don't know who's going to do well until you actually play the game. And they decided not to play the game and just go straight to the Stanley Cup final. And so they don't know how she's going to perform. And she could fall flat on her face because she is not tested and not prepared. Let's talk about her decision yesterday not to go to the Netanyahu speech.

She had a chance to look presidential, looking right over her shoulder, whatever she wants, and say, listen, I don't agree with everything he does, but he's our ally. Instead, she went to see a sorority. Here's a little bit. Netanyahu was brilliant. Here's a little of what he said: cut 35.

Some of these protesters Hold up signs proclaiming Gaze for Gaza. They might as well hold up signs saying chickens for KFC. These protesters chant. From the river to the sea, but many don't have a clue what river and what sea they're talking about.

So that's it. He was so direct, you just there was no nuance.

Well, there's not a lot of nuance in the situation. This is the battle between good and evil. It's that simple. But it's not looking simple. Dozens sat out.

They think he's being too aggressive. They're actually saying he's extending the war to stay in power, which is one of the most evil things you could say. Yeah. Well here's the thing. He thinks That because she is a member of the squad for all intents and purposes, that she'll get a pass on Biden's policies towards Israel and she has a chance to win the votes in Dearborn.

And so she did not want the first thing she did as vice president to be standing there applauding Benjamin Netanyahu on live on national television. And so she put her political future in pandering to the pro-Has. uh people who by the way during the speech were sitting there Burning American flags at Union Station and chanting Hamas is coming and the end of the USA is coming. These are the people she's pandering to. But she put pandering to them for her political interests over serving her responsibilities as Vice President of the United States.

It's sickening. All right, Mark, I look forward to your comment. I love the angle. How the hell did she get it? What the hell is going on?

You know, when you wrote, Harris is a GAFRON leftist, why didn't anyone challenge her? That's a big question. I actually think she deserves credit. She saw an opening and she locked it all up. And I think that's why Obama still hasn't.

And that's why this former speaker and majority leader Schumer took a while to endorse her. Then they said, wait, she outmaneuvered us. We'll find out. They'll write a book about it. Brian Kilbicho.

He's a genius, Brian. Exactly. I've never heard that before, but I'll accept it. Mark Thiessen. Back in a moment.

You're with Brian Kilmead. The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead. This is why, according to scientists, sharks off the coast of Brazil have tested positive for cocaine.

Meanwhile, I can't get this song out of my head. Cocaine chark do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.

Okay, touch it.

Okay. So that was Jimmy Fallon last night, taking some shots. He had to do his show before they had the big speech. You could tell I watched his monologue. I'm getting hopeful to be able to grab some stuff.

I didn't think it was that great of a monologue, did you? It was okay. It was, you know. Matt Damon was his first guest. I thought, this is not a reason to be late for work.

Oh, you didn't want to tell Fox and France. Let's just go on a little later. Right, I think he's good, though. I mean, one thing with Jimmy Fallon, I mean, the guy can do so many things. Yes.

I mean, he does, he's a singer. You could tell he's an act. He was acting for a while. Remember that Red Sox movie he was in? Yes, with Drew Barrymore.

Right. He did the improv thing, writing. Talk show, Drew Barrymore. The way she handles herself and I talks to you, it's ruined her for me. How often do you actually get to watch her talk show?

I want you to be my mama. That was bad. That was so bad. There's some other things that might be interesting, but that was bad. But I'm glad to see she's busy.

That's good. I'm glad you care about Drew. The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead. That's why the mobs in Tehran.

Shant death to Israel. before they chant death to America. For Iran. Israel is first, America is next.

So when Israel fights Hamas We're fighting Iran. When we fight Hezbollah. We're fighting Iran. When we fight the Houthis, we're fighting Iran. And when we fight Iran, we're fighting the most radical and murderous enemy of the United States of America.

And there you go. That is the Prime Minister yesterday in a brilliant speech in front of a joint session of Congress where the exact opposite review from Nancy Pelosi thought it was awful, one of the worst ever given, because she's just ridiculous. She looks at him as Donald Trump friend, conservative, instead of an ally of ours, regardless of who the leader is. Dozens of lawmakers just decided to boycott the speech. Arie Lightstone, a senior advisor to the U.S.

Ambassador to Israel under David Friedman, knows there's a lot to discuss yesterday. First off, Aria, we discussed this before, but did you expect defilements of our monuments like yesterday, the burning of our flag, the anti-Americanism along with anti-Semitism? Yes, because as we discussed before, it's one and the same. This is not a cause du jour. Hating the Jewish people or hating the state of Israel.

These are People who wish to destroy America from within.

So that's the message that President Netanyahu was trying to say. And if they're by putting both flags together, that's certainly the case. The story a couple of weeks ago came out, something you always suspected, that Iran is behind a lot of this activism, a lot of the financing, a lot of this messaging. How are they doing it?

Well, money is fungible, and they have an enormous amount of money since the Biden administration took over tens of, if not hundreds of billions of dollars, and they spend that money in an effective way. One of the notes that Prime Minister Netanyahu said early on in the speech, and I was in the room, it was electric. He said that when the Ayatollah originally led the revolution in 1979, their raison d'être, their mission statement, was to expand the Islamic resolution, revolution, pardon me, to the rest of the world. And so, therefore, when they get money, it's not to build universities, it's not to make think tanks, it's not to enhance like universal pre-K. It's in order to sow terror across the world.

And the United States of America is quite literally ground zero for that. And they will take that money and funnel it through the useful idiots in order to be able to accomplish this goal. Right. And that was the message yesterday. He used that term.

I also like what he said, when you see gays for Gazans. This is what he said about that, CUD 35.

Some of these protesters Hold up signs proclaiming Gaze for Gaza. They might as well hold up signs saying chickens for KFC. These protesters chant. From the river to the sea, but many don't have a clue what river and what sea they're talking about.

They don't know where Gaza is, but they're out there just defiling things. I just watched Dan Senor, and Dan Senor says it's because it's they're Jewish. That's why that that's what this is about. It's possible that way, but uh one of the things to watch within the gallery was when Democrats would stand or applaud. And by the way, I give full credit to every Democrat other than Rashida Tlib for showing up.

It was easier not to show up. Which is a major problem with the Democratic Party in general. But I give enormous credit for the Democrats who were there. But what was fascinating to me was those who looked sheepishly when he called out the myths about Israel, because I think that they were concerned that a reporter would ask them when they left the hall: Do you know what the river is? Do you know what the sea is?

Do you know how they treat LGBTQ in Gaza? And the answer is the vast majority of them don't know. It is just like there's Trump derangement syndrome, there's Bibi derangement syndrome. And Nancy Pelosi, as you let off the show, apparently has it worse than anybody else.

So, how close is it to ceasefire? And what do you think Biden is going to be saying today? And then followed up in a separate meeting in the afternoon with Harris.

Well, if yesterday was an 11 out of 10, which I think it was, today I anticipate being a minus one out of 10. These are going to be tough meetings. What do you do as a world leader in an existential war for your country? And you're meeting with a president who it's very clear that he is no longer in charge. How do you conduct that meeting?

What is the script for walking into a situation with a president who you know that that guy is not making the decisions? And then you walk into a VP candidate who's now running for president who's boycotted your speech. Like, how does that conversation work? That's incredibly complicated. I think it's going to be contentious.

I think it's going to be hard. And what I believe the prime minister is going to deliver for them is the commitment to get a ceasefire as soon as his parliament goes into recess. And his parliament, the Knesset, goes into recess the last day of July, and he doesn't want his government to fall.

So I believe that he's going to agree to the Biden-brokered ceasefire on August 1, which I believe is a bad ceasefire. Hmm. Right. Well, some of the things that are involved in it, don't you like the prisoner swap ratio? The prisoner swap ratio what what That's terrible.

And that's been the precedent. And unfortunately, I think that's going to exist. And by the way, I think to get anybody back, unfortunately, that's just sort of baked in. It will be the security guarantees that they have to wind up giving. There are countless Israeli soldiers who have sacrificed their lives in order to make sure that October 7th doesn't happen again.

If there's a capitulation to either walk out of the Egypt-Gaza border or to undo the separation between North and South Gaza, I don't know how you look at those families and say that those kids didn't. Sacrificed their lives in vain. You cannot let Gaza become Hamasistan again.

So, right now, we understand they cleaned out Rafa, they did a good job going through, and now they got to go back to Khan Yunus. Is that correct? Yeah, what they've done is they've gone in and then they've left. And one of the things that they've been able to do pretty successfully is they've lured the bad guys back in. You saw this execution of this incredible Raid that they had in the Shifa hospital.

It must be even now three months ago. They had abandoned it. They allowed them to use it again as a terror center. And just when it was filled with high-value targets, they went back in and they took out over 900 terrorists without a single civilian casualty.

So, what they've accomplished there has been incredible. And Prime Minister Netanyahu echoed this many times in the speech: says, in the history of urban warfare, none of us, no army has done what we've done in order to be able to accomplish this. And they didn't get nearly enough credit for that. Yeah, so I want you to hear what Trump said. Today about his meeting with Netanyahu on Friday.

Cut forty six. It was very nice. Nice to me yesterday. He mentioned me in the speech very nicely, and I appreciated that. He's coming to see me.

I want him to finish up and get it done quickly. You got to get it done quickly because they are getting decimated with this publicity. And, you know, Israel is not very good at public relations, I'll tell you that. Israel. for whatever reason, you have Jewish people out there wearing yarmicas And they're You know You've never seen anything.

People have never seen anything like this. Israel has to handle their public relations. Their public relations are not good. And they've got to get this done fast because The world the world is not Taking lightly to it. It's really incredible.

Even though he thinks they're right, he doesn't think they win the PR war. Your thoughts about your old boss? President Trump is a million percent correct. This war should have been done in 30 days. And the only reason why it's not done in 30 days is it did not have the full Israel does not.

And did not have the full support of the United States of America, not in terms of arms, not in terms of weaponry, not in terms of diplomatic support. Remember, it took three months to finally go into Rafah because Biden and Kamala Harris were very clear that you can't go into Rafah and you can't go get your hostages back unless you can go into Rafah. You can't beat Hamas unless you're able to execute the war. And President Trump has now been saying this for six months. All I know is that if President Trump was in charge October 7th, Had it happened, I'd like to believe that it wouldn't happen because Iran would have been bankrupt and broke.

But had it happened, the war would have been over by November.

So we'll hear about these two speeches. We'll think about this ceasefire. Do you think that Hamas is coming to the table more because they're getting closer to Sinwar? And does that really trouble you that we'd stop sh you'd stop short of getting them? Yeah, Israel needs to finish the war.

Now, if they can come up with a break in August with a ceasefire that works and makes it through the election, here is what is crystal clear: Gaza is now able to be mitigated, if you can use such a word. And if they can get the live hostages back, that would be a fantastic win. Israel, in order to finish prosecuting the war against Iran, against the Houthis, against Hezbollah, to finish up against Hamas, needs a president that will give its full support, but more importantly, needs a president. Just to understand this very clearly, Prime Minister Netanyahu is going to seek reassurances from President Biden. Does anybody in America know if President Biden is going to be our president in one week from now or in two weeks from now or in three weeks from now?

So when your superpower is your relationship with the United States of America, how does Prime Minister Netanyahu make decisive decisions based upon whatever conversation is going to have today? It is not possible. I know this is not in exactly your area, but it's certainly of your interest. There's going to be a message from the Secretary of Defense actually going to do something. He's going to talk about the breach of our airspace in Alaska by Chinese and Russian planes for the first time in history.

What message are we supposed to take from that?

Well, it started with the Chinese balloon. Uh, when these things can happen with impunity, uh, Russia is docking nuclear subs off of Cuba. Uh, what who is home? We are living in what is going to be the most dangerous five months uh of our lifetime, uh, other than 9/11. And what needs to happen with clarity, by the way, and I would love for President Trump and Kamala Harris to say this distinctly together: don't mess with us.

I mean, this is America, this isn't a Republican issue, this isn't a Democratic issue, but we know that's not going to happen. President Biden gave a very uh non-convincing speech last evening. It seemed even in this well-rehearsed and practice speech, it did not give a lot of confidence to the American people. Certainly, Kamala boycotting the speech of our ally yesterday and not condemned the burning of flags outside of the Capitol and the beating up of police officers outside the Capitol. If you're an enemy, what more could you possibly hope for?

And that's what they began probing again yesterday with the breach of our airspace. I hear you. What a consequential time. Aria, a light. Thanks so much.

Thank you, Brian. You got it. When we come back, I'll be able to get some calls for the first time. 1-86-1-866-408-7669. You'll listen to the Brian Kill Me Show.

We're also monitoring the Secretary of Defense will be making remarks shortly. Hopefully, some type of rebuke of what Russia and China did last night and some type of offensive move to let them know we will not be brushed back in our own airspace. Don't move. This is the Brian Kill Me Show.

He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Kilmead. It was reported that Elon Musk was giving $45 million a month to Trump's campaign. But now Elon's saying that's not true. And he just put out a statement about it.

Take a look. Elon said, I know I owe millions, but I'm just not going to pay. And Trump said game recognize game. Yeah, I never heard that expression before. Did you?

I know what it means having figured it out, but did you It's not one that I hear very often, but also probably the young folks say it among those crowds. This is what happened when that story came out that he was going to pledge forty five dollars, forty five million a month. Uh they backed us off. And then I asked two people on the campaign, they go said, no, it's true. And then Trump said the other day, he's like, you know, I think he's pledging 45 million.

I haven't heard it from him yet. And then uh Elon Musk said I never said that. It's the craziest thing. I mean, it's not forty-five dollars. Forty-five million dollars is a is a lot of money, even for don't you think that's a lot of money even for a billionaire, multi-billionaire?

Well, it's I mean, it for it I mean, it's a lot. For him, but I mean it's it's not the The same as a $45 million to let's say you. I mean, it's probably like, what, $200 to him? Right, that's my 401k. And I would never cash in my 401k.

It's only 45 million, Brian. Right, yeah, because I didn't, in the beginning, I wasn't taking the full 20%. I actually, and we pull back on the copay. Gotcha. That would be why.

Actually, that whole riff, though, he goes on for a pretty long time with all different examples of how they're so similar. It's very on point. Right. But they're both I I think it was amazing too, and I forgot who said it. Is that they were saying that Kamala Harris has done some great work inspiring entrepreneurs around the country.

And I thought to myself, out of everything that she could do, you can't tell me that somebody who has never started a business, made more than $145,000 in salary, never taught a class, is inspiring people to be entrepreneurs around the country unless she took a PowerPoint or heard a TED talk that inspired her. The guy that should be talking about entrepreneurship is her opponent. Stay out of that area.

Now be the prosecutor. You can't sell me that you know more about business than her. No, it's a great point, but who is going to be there to actually question her or the people saying that?

Well, I mean, if she ever brings that up in a debate, can you imagine Trump? Oh, that would be great. Yeah. Here's my question for you: who when do you think she'll sit down for her first real interview? I don't know.

I mean, she's definitely not going to do it with Lester Holt. He does a pretty good job, and he's cut up, he cut her up the first time pretty significantly. And he did the same thing with Biden. Remember, at the end of it, Biden goes, why don't you ask me some real questions? Remember that?

He goes, why don't you ask me some questions that people care about? What are some of the things? I thought that was a fantastic question. I mean, for Joe Biden to get aggravated, Lester Holt, it was his third interview. And, you know, Stephanopoulos is probably the first one that you asked because he would look to not bury her.

Yeah, but he knows there's nothing else. And the guy fundamentally has shown as talented as he is, and he is talented. As talented as he is, he is shown to be a Democrat.

Well, true. But do you think they still would after his then comments caught? On camera, that Biden wasn't great during the interview. Yes. Because there's nothing wrong with that.

Because George Kalinu showed you there was nothing wrong with that. In fact, it helped goose him. Uh goose them right out. True. But do you think she's gonna sit make a point to sit down with a woman or like BET or something like that?

And do you think they'll actually start to press her? Or no, it's going to be more of a softball.

Well, I mean, if you listen to the coverage, and we flip her, we have to flip around all the time. Listen to the coverage, they have said nothing negative. They have not one person sit up and said, I hope she wins, but she's got problems with her border stance. She's got problems with the get-riding of private insurance. She's got problems with what she didn't do with the border.

She's got problems saying she wasn't a border czar when she was named border czar.

So I actually asked to brainroom this. They have not gotten back to me. Or I got lost in my blizzard of emails yesterday with all this stuff going on. I asked her, when President Biden originally said, I've asked my vice president to handle the border. He never said root causes.

She did nothing and then said root causes.

Now, everyone that wrote a political axios that says she's in charge of the border are now writing it back and said, Well, we never should have written back in 2020 that she's the border, 2021, that she's the borders are.

So they're correcting themselves because she couldn't do the border or chose not to do the border. And remember this statement. I don't know if it was on this show. Where She made the statement. When she went to the border the one time, This will be the new Ellis Island of this generation.

And I remember as soon as it was said, that's what she said.

So she wanted people to come and act like it's Ellis Island. She did not understand fully that people coming from Ellis Island were screened in their country and then were screened at Ellis Island and were sent back. I did a whole feature on it. If they were, didn't have somebody waiting for them, had to prove that they had something to do, weren't going to be a burden on society. They had to have somewhat of a sponsor.

If they had receding gums, if they had any fevers, they would keep them there until they felt as though they were better. They'd have a mini court there. Instead, we have people just streaming through the border, and she wants to let them all in for free school, free healthcare. And I don't think that she said it doesn't matter how much it costs. I think she never cared how much it costs.

Because when you're in a government job, you're not balancing budgets like this. If you give me, that's why so many people say to you: if you want a good president, give me a good governor. Because they are looking at budgets. Because they have the executive experience. Right.

But she does inspire entrepreneurs, so maybe. Right, she does. Oh no. I was going to say, we're going to have Charlie Spearling on Leader, who has, you can ask him all about this in Commodus. He wrote the book Amatra and dives into it.

Yeah, remember. Trump's chief pollster came out and said, There'll be a sugar high. She might even pull ahead in some of the polls, but everything's going to settle down because fundamentally it's about policies. And they believe they have the better policies. I do too.

Brian Kilmicho. From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmead. Appreciate you being here, everybody. We've got a busy hour coming your way.

Charlie Spearing is going to be with us, author of Amateur Hour, Kamala Harris in the White House. Man, is that a good time to write that book? Who knew she was going to be the nominee? Not many people thought so. In fact, if it opened up, not many people thought it would be her.

And Bob Cusack standing by, Editor-in-Chief of the Hill. What a blizzard of news that we have coming your way. We're also waiting for the Secretary of Defense to speak about the breach of our airspace over Alaska by Chinese and Russian planes at the same time. Any coincidence, a time in which tumult is everywhere in our political process, our president could never look weaker. Current president, and who decided to be a lame duck against his will, I shouldn't say decided, against his will as a lame duck.

And now we find out the Russians are taking advantage of it. Are the Chinese going to move on Taiwan next? You got to worry about it. Politics aside, you have to worry about it. Just three weeks after an assassination attempt, which we're in the middle of investigating, what's being in Bob Cusack right now, editor-in-chief of The Hill.

Bob, first off, what do you think the Secretary of Defense is going to say today? The breach of our airspace is a big deal, but we don't hear much from him. No, we don't. And obviously, the Defense Secretary Austin had his own controversy about his health and not disclosing it.

So he's not a very high profile Pentagon chief, but he's got to answer some big questions here. And you're right, this is a big deal. There's a lot going on, as you know, Brian, and we've had quite a stretch of news over the last couple of weeks. But the fact that Russia and China are both working on it, I mean, this is a big deal.

So, first off, on yesterday's speech, here's a little from President Biden. It was 11 minutes. We thought we'd get an explanation of why he's stepping down. The talk behind the scenes, he never wanted to. We watched him on the stump for the last two weeks as he really campaigned to keep his job and to run for four years.

He did Stephanopoulos, did Lester Holt, did BET TV with Ed Gordon, did four or five. Live events on stage in a week, in two weeks. He ends up with COVID and then loses his chance for reelection. Cut two. When you elected me to this office, I promise to always live with you.

To tell you the truth. And the truth. The sacred cause of this country is larger than any one of us. Those of us who cherry that cause Cherish it so much. a cause of American democracy itself.

Wish you knight to protect it. These days, it seems like he's always in the library whispering to a friend.

So. I mean, your thought about the address. What questions do you have?

Well I think the address showed that Democrats made the right move in getting him out of there. And as you say, he didn't want to go. And all those media interviews I thought were subpar. I mean, some in the media said a few of them were pretty good. I don't think so.

They were all subpar. And that's why Democrats pushed him out. And that's why they have Harris, who is, you know, without a doubt, still the underdog as Biden was. But obviously, she can do better in a debate. No one, really, no one could do worse than Biden did in that first debate.

And it was interesting, Brian. He didn't, he didn't mention really why he left. He just said party unity and democracy and all that kind of stuff. But it really wasn't very transparent. And there are legitimate questions.

And I know, and we've reported, and you've talked about, you know, a lot of members on Capitol Hill, Republicans, are saying, listen, if he can't run, he shouldn't be president. But obviously, he's going to stay on the job. He's not going to get much done, honestly. And honestly, I don't. How much time, how much we're going to be talking about the president of the United States over the next hundred days before the election because he is a real lame duck.

Well, you know, there is a fear of some type of international event because they might think that the superpower is vulnerable right now because we've come off quite divided. Whether it's the defiling of our landmarks at Union Square, whether it's the assassination attempt on a former president, whether it's the Craziness with the current president stepping aside, surprisingly. The only thing you can't have it both ways, Bob. You can't say, I'm stepping aside, not tell us why, and then have everyone say what great courage he showed in selflessness. You know, if he had his brothers, he'd still be running, and it would be nice if you told us, and then you have the press secretary insist that there's no slippage.

When we know we've been reading the reports, we know what we see. You can't have it every other way. I think people just say, I've given up on ever getting the true story. Yeah, and that's part of the reason that Democrats pushed him out because he's gotten worse. There's no doubt about it.

He's been slipping. For a while, uh, certainly, I think when he launched his bid, it was a very different type of Joe Biden. You look back at the 2020 debate. With debates with Trump. He's still not as sharp as he was in the Senate, but he's much sharper back then than he is now.

And listen, we have not had a press conference with Biden's doctor. And I think that's been kind of outrageous, both on two big issues that America should know about. The President's health, And the Secret Service also not doing, or the FBI doing a press conference since the assassination attempt. It's crisis 101. You've got to communicate with the public and tell them what you know.

We got some more details with Christopher Duray yesterday, but honestly, we should have learned a lot of that information earlier. I know Bob Cusack with us now, editor-in-chief of the Hill. Bob, the guy's dead. There's a very good chance it is just a lone actor. He's got three platforms in which he was encrypted, communicating with encryption with.

I got it. Having said that, you could tell us if there was a ladder. You could tell us how he got up. You could tell us if there was a guy on that roof. You could tell us why the perimeter was so close.

You could tell us if there were two men short. Why did the Washington Post have to break the story and confirm what Michael Waltz told us that the Trump team has asked repeatedly for more relief and more people when it comes to the Trump Secret Service team? And they were denied. They tell us no. We never denied it.

How dare you say that? Four days later, it gets confirmed. And now we find out from the Trump team they've been asking for months.

So this is stuff that's unacceptable. I don't care what party you you're for. It is, and obviously, this is personal for both sides of the aisle because a Democrat could be next, and the shooter apparently was also searching for. For Biden on his devices.

So listen, I think it's outrageous a Secret Service Director to laughed at as long as she did. I mean, she should have resigned right away and certainly had conversations. Trump been assassinated, had been killed, she would have had to step down right away. And then the fact that she was talking about the slope, and as you know, there was a bipartisan group of members who went to the site, they went on the roof. was not that much, even for members who were 70 plus years old.

That was one of the most ridiculous comments I've ever heard in politics. And you're right, we deserve to know these basic facts, information from the agency itself and to take questions. I understand you can't answer all the questions because it's an ongoing investigation, but they could have answered so many. And then, of course, what happens? A lot of conspiracy theories get born in this vacuum of information.

So, a couple of things I want to bring up, too, just in regards to what happened yesterday. I know you're probably used to it. I'm not. Every time, you have five minutes. And you start talking about the laptop.

You have five minutes, you're talking about Project 25. You have five minutes, you're talking about January 6th, you're talking about Paul Pelosi. Excuse me. You got the CF FBI director there on an assassination attempt on the president, the first one in what, 30, 40 years. And they're making political statements at 2 in the afternoon.

Can they ever be serious? Yeah, and it really is. I mean, that's the big issue of the day when we don't have a lot of information. And listen, if you replace the lawmakers with Reporters, they're going to be asking questions about the assassination because there are still so many unanswered questions and hopefully we'll get the information and get what the motivation was, but so many basic questions. And I think you have Ray who, listen, I think he handled some of the questions well and he pushed back when he needed to.

But at the same time, I just don't know why the Biden administration didn't say, listen, we need to tell everybody what's going on. And also so that other politicians who are on the campaign stump, and there's a lot of them, House, Senate, and of course White House, so that they're safe too.

So yesterday, those riots at Union Station, well choreographed, wearing the same t-shirts on the sit-in, have all the flags ready to go. The chants are all rehearsed. The Palestinian flag goes up at a major venue in America, in our nation's capital. As an American, Bob, are you not offended that they're burning the American flag and the Israeli flag, our chief ally, while we have a bunch of people with their faces covered putting up the Palestinian flag? I tell you, it's a crime.

Now, it's not a crime just to burn your own flag. The Supreme Court has held that up. But this is federal property. And listen, this is and if Democrats want to win, and I just saw that Harris condemned it, but at the same time, this is something where most, and I'm talking 90-plus percent of the American public, look at those images. and are disgusted.

Uh, by it, the vandalism and the outrageousness. Uh, it it really has to stop, but I don't think it will. And Brian, as you know, the Democratic Convention is just around the corner next month. And this is going to be a big problem for the Democratic Party because you think the protests were big yesterday. They're going to be immense in and around Chicago.

So what do they plan on doing? Trying to get the Michigan vote, trying to get the Detroit vote, the Ann Arbor vote? What do you plan on doing by rebuking our ally? You don't like the way they're conducting a war in the most densely populated area, maybe in the world?

So you think it's to your political advantage to ice out Israel? I mean, do you realize how nuanced we expect voters to be on that? Because they look at this administration to be in two together with Israel. Do they know what Trump represents? Yeah, it's it's really it doesn't make any sense when you think about it what even they're trying to do.

And I understand but you do it through peaceful protests and you don't you don't deface uh federal property and and and and do what they did yesterday. And thankfully, you know, there weren't massive injuries or deaths. But this is this is getting we're we're in a very politically charged time and people the First Amendment's a great thing you and I love it But there is a limit to what you can do especially when you're when you're you're you're burning flags that are not your own That's that's that's not your property So we remember life three weeks ago when we looked at Kamala Harris's view of the border as a disaster She did nothing when we look at the fact that when she was a candidate she wanted ten trillion dollars for the new Green Deal. We know that she was looking to ban offshore drilling as well as fracking. We know she wanted to get rid of private insurance.

This is why she flamed out.

Now that she's a candidate standing alone, the media says, well, if she's all I have. I love her. Cut fifteen. Free at last, free at last. Kamala Harris is unleashed.

She's just brilliant. The energy that's coming off of her is the energy that's coming off of the American people. This is 2008 vibes already. You are witnessing the birth of a cultural phenomenon, and you need a cultural phenomenon to stop a cultural phenomenon. Vice President Harris is poised to get this nomination, this presidential nomination.

It is gratifying, and I think it's a sign of strength. I just think about. Uh pride. For so many voters that are going to look at her and see themselves in her? I mean, we've been talking a little bit tonight about just what's coming her way, which is sexism, misogyny, racism, a lot of this.

And I mean, making fun of her laugh. I hope she never changes her laugh, by the way.

Okay, that makes one of us.

So your thoughts, people have short-term memory loss. At one point, Bob's got to sit down and say, I disavow all those things I brought up because the American people aren't there. Or she's got to say, that's what I'm going to do. And she, now, listen, I think the reaction, this is Van Jones has a lot of good points in analysis. I disagree with that, that this is the second coming of Barack Obama.

There's only one Obama. I think the reaction has been a little bit over the top, but they are excited that they don't have Joe Biden, the 81-year-old who showed why he shouldn't be the nominee last night and has shown that for several months. But she's going to have to. She's going to have to, all those issues you just mentioned, fracking, Medicare for all. Where she went way left in the primary, didn't even make it to 2020, didn't even make it to Iowa.

Is she gonna disavow that? Is she gonna be different than Joe Biden on Israel or other issues? That's gonna be one.

So I think the real test for her is gonna be a debate because as we all know, Trump is a masterful debater, but also subjecting herself to hopefully tough. but fair questioning and not going to a liberal journalist or liberal commentator and doing interviews that way. You know, if you're going to win the presidency, you've got to go for it. Trump is not afraid of the media. Hillary Clinton was afraid of the media.

We interviewed Trump four times in his 2016 run, asked Hillary Clinton to sit down. Never sat down with us. She later said she regretted her media strategy. Harris has to be she can't be cautious. She's got to be out there and she's got to do a lot better than she did in her interviews with Lester Hall.

Now, I think her first campaign rally speech was good. It was short. Sure. But at the same time, that's not how you win. You're going to have to go toe-to-toe with Trump and toe-to-toe with the media who's asking tough questions.

And she's got to answer a lot of questions about all those issues you mentioned. Unless they're going to try to give her a glide path, because the media suddenly found their journalistic integrity when they realized that Biden had to go. They were asking him, rolling back clips, wondering if he's going to be okay. Lester Holt blew him up. Stephanopoulos almost blew him up by mistake.

And then people were asking him some questions, and they got really aggressive with him. But I wonder if they're going to get as aggressive because they hate Trump so much if they end up blowing her up. And Leslie, I think she deserves credit. I think she consolidated delegates in a way that nobody thought possible. And the way she accumulated power, I think it shocked everybody.

I think that might be the story that we uncover later, don't you? I think so. I think it was impressive. I did think all along that And I've been wrong a lot, Brian, but but I thought there was no way they could just jump over her. That would be a historic snub.

I know her numbers aren't great and Democrats want to win, but you couldn't just jump over her. And there was reporting out there that Joe Biden was not going to endorse Harris. That just, that doesn't make any sense. Biden was upset with Obama that he didn't, Obama didn't endorse him in the 2020 primary, so he did something different. Obviously, Biden not pleased with being pushed out, but he had to support Harris.

And Harris did a good job of consolidating that power very quickly. And I saw Harris put out a statement condemning Hamas and any defilement of our monuments. A little late, would have helped yesterday. Had a chance to be presidential. Bob Cusack, always great.

It's an exciting time. It's always a privilege to talk to you. Thank you. Thanks, Brian. All right.

Well, listen, we come back. You can write me at Briankilme.com. Also, you could go to 1-866-408-7669. Quick thing: going to see you Saturday, I hope, in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. Cool place.

Go to the Shelton Auditorium. Go to BrianKilme.com.

Some VIP opportunities are available. That's when I get a chance to talk to you before the show, answer all the questions. But it's a show like no other. I hope you could be there. See you then.

Covering this election year like no other, it's Brian Kelmead. Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kill Me Show.

All right, we're back. By the way, I'm going to be on the five tonight.

So, and I'll be next week, I'll be on the five twice Monday and Wednesday. I mean, that show got a four rating. I did it Monday.

So, a four rating on a Monday. I mean, that's how crazy this news cycle is. And do you see that Fox has got the highest rating since prior to 2020? I mean, remember they said cable news is fading out and people are cutting the cord, maybe. But they I don't know if they found a way to pick up the stream and put that in Well, I think it's you know, in big news times, right?

Like, this is where you need to turn for the election for the most current breaking news.

So it makes complete sense. And for the average ratings, like a two.

So being like a four is double, which is for the, you know, the average listener who doesn't really get T V ratings. Right. I would say they average like a three, three.

So they're getting over a four on that show. And it's just amazing because. There's only 32% of the country or GOP. It goes to show you how many Independents and Democrats or moderates or undecideds are watch Fox. And I think I have a theory on it.

I just think it's because, number one, you get put in this job, you get to be yourself, for better or for worse. Number two, no one has the same opinion. I mean, you look at people, even if you say, well, I'm going to vote this way. No one is this, and the issues are so plentiful, you can't possibly get on the same page as everyone. Where you might be here, the other person might be there.

It makes more interesting television, I believe, and more fun. That's underestimated. It's a more fun channel. From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmead. It's the pursuit of doing things better than we have done.

And seeing what is possible unburdened by what has been. We see what can be. unburdened by what has been. But can be. Unverse.

By what has been. Knowing and believing and having faith in what can be. unburdened by what has been. That is a line she clearly loves. One thing about the Trump rallies, you don't really get two lines that are the same.

You get some stories that are similar, but he goes off prompt her a lot.

Now, by the way, the Vice President of the United States, who wants to be president, is now in Houston accepting the endorsement of the Teachers' Union.

So, congratulations. That is no surprise, but she's trying to consolidate as much power as possible. She's given some solid speeches. A person that knows her and studied her, wrote a book about her, called Amateur, Kamala Harris in the White House, Charlie Spearing, joins us now. Hey, Charlie.

Hey, Brian, good to be here. First off, how would you characterize her first three appearances since consolidating delegates in order to virtually get the nomination?

Well, it's very typical from her already campaign performance. As she ramped up for the reelection campaign, the Biden team was sending her out to make these to some of these swing states, making the argument that Biden deserved reelection. But it was less to do about Joe Biden, more to do about the case against Donald Trump.

So she has been in recent weeks, very recent months, even very scripted, very on message, very on point. Kamala Harris is very dutiful at this point. She didn't want to make any more mistakes, you know, perhaps sensing that she had a political opportunity here. If she can go up and back Joe Biden, she might be rewarded. And wow, it turns out that it did.

Before we talk about the news and what she's saying right now and what she could be saying later, I want to back up a little bit. When did you realize this would be a target-rich environment for your book? Yeah, it was back before the campaign really got into motion. We know we assumed that Biden was running for reelection. All indications was that he was running for reelection.

And that's why we sat down and started thinking about this book. And not every vice president deserves a book written about them, right? We didn't write books about Al Gore or some of the others who were just there because Clinton was doing fine. But when I first sat down to write this book, I realized there's a very real chance she could be the 47th president of the United States, and it was time to examine her record. And what did you find out?

I mean, I see one of the descriptions. You describe her as a hilarious, incompetent, trailblazing radical. Yeah, that's very true. And anybody who watched her 2020 campaign realized exactly just how. Much of a failure that she was on the campaign trail.

She wasn't ready. And I think that a lot of elites, journalists, donors put a lot of stock into the idea that Kamala Harris could be the ultimate Trump slayer. But wow, when she got out on the campaign trail and tried to connect with voters, she really came up short. It seems as though she didn't understand policy. When healthcare, when on the border, what she wants to do with oil and gas and what would be involved in a new Green Deal.

It just seems like she was winging it. It's not as if here's my position, it doesn't make sense, but here's my logic. It seems like she was throwing stuff out. Exactly. When she got into the Senate, her first goal was to go as far left as she could.

This is why she had a record that was far to the left of Bernie Sanders. She calculated that if she became the new darling of the left, if she was the new Bernie Sanders without all the cantankerous oldness from Vermont, that she would be embraced with open arms. But voters were quick to see that she wasn't necessarily serious on all the issues and was willing to say anything just to gain power. All right. So, I mean, we have some for positions, and I just think it's important for people to know we're not just winging it or trying to disparage her.

We're just trying to let people know what she was saying. Here's an example of where she stands: Cut 16. I am prepared. To get rid of the filibuster, to pass a Green New Deal. There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking.

So, would you ban offshore drilling? Yes. And I've again worked on that. We need to have Medicare for all. Who of us has not had that situation where you've got to wait for approval and the doctor says, well, I don't know if your insurance company is going to cover this?

Let's eliminate all of that. Let's move on. It's simply wrong that we have a situation where the pharmaceutical companies have been dictating prices. Affordable health care should not be a privilege. It should be a right.

All right, and that she went on to say for illegal immigrants, too, who are not going to be criminally charged. She goes on to define uh going forward to funding, reimagining ICE, as well as saying more cops don't mean more safety. It's also going out of her way to say those race riots aren't going to stop and happy about it, and encouraging people to give money for bail for those rioters after the After the riots in 2020.

So, all this stuff is on the record. How does she handle it? Because this is not popular with the American people. Right, that's why she's not really addressing it full, you know, she's not coming out and addressing it entirely. What she's trying to do is sidestep it.

We saw a little bit of that yesterday, you know, making the claim that she was never the immigrations are, the borders are, and she was only tasked with root causes.

Well, it was very clear at the time that Biden was throwing her to the wolves to handle a very thorny political issue that he didn't want to deal with.

So that's why she got branded as the borders are. That's why the media ran with it. And everyone looked to Kamala Harris to solve this issue. And she came up woefully short. She originally was asked to take care of immigration at the border.

In your book, you write, she corrected Joe Biden because she didn't want the assignment. She says, no, it's going to be the triangle countries.

So the Vice President Joe Biden took it from Barack Obama. You know, we remember that. Uh she did not want to take this and she didn't do any work on it. Right. They sent her to the border with a strong message.

Go down there and tell them that migrants will not be allowed. She gave a press conference. She said, I believe to migrants, do not come. I believe that if you come, you will be turned away. Wow, that was absolutely the wrong message they received.

What they received was the border is open. Get up here while you still can because Kamala Harris is not taking this seriously. Did she grow in the job? And how do you find what did your research show you about their relationship with Joe Biden? Look, Kamala Harris is someone that just wants power.

She is very good at running an election. She's very good at positioning herself for positions of power. But when it comes to doing the job, she comes up short. She's risk averse. She's trying to protect her political brand.

Anytime the Biden administration asked her to take some of these difficult issues off his plate, she dodged them. She sidestepped them. She didn't want to risk her political brand. She still ran her vice presidency as if she had a political future. Listen to this.

Uh I think he's gonna have a tough time shaking this. This is with Nora O'Donnell of and of CBS, Cut Nineteen. You're considered the most liberal United States Senator. I somebody said that and it actually was Mike Pence on the debate stage. Yeah.

Well, actually, the nonpartisan GovTrack has rated you as the most liberal senator. You supported the Green New Deal, you supported Medicare for all, you supported legalizing marijuana. Joe Biden doesn't support those things.

So, are you going to. Bring the policies. Those progressive policies that you supported as senator into a Biden administration? What I will do, and I promise you this, and this is what Joe wants me to do, this was part of our deal. I will always share with him my lived experience as it relates to any issue.

that we confront Okay, we don't really know what that means. I'm not sure that Joe Biden changed any policies, but she didn't say that's not where I stand or maybe I overstated or misstated it. Maybe I've worked with the President, I've kind of amended my views. As far as I know, that's what she believes. That interview was such a good one.

It was right after Joe Biden selected her as vice president, and that's where she also laughs off any tough questions. Nora O'Donnell really grills her on a number of issues, and this is a famous Kamala tactic: when you're approached with uncomfortable questions, you just laugh and refer back to who you are as a person. She also talks about in that interview how I also love hip-hop, so what are you saying?

So it was very, she was not serious about handling these issues. She didn't do a good job explaining away some of her views, or at least, you know, saying those were my views then, but I'm 100% aligned to Joe Biden. She couldn't even get that line out. Charlie Spearing's here. Charlie, her relationship with Obama is strong.

And many people believe, maybe you do too, that if she does get in, that it's going to be Obama's third term, correct? That's a very good, that's a very good point, Brian. And certainly that's why so many people are wondering: why isn't Obama endorsing Kamala right now? Why is he the only one who hasn't stepped up and endorsed? And I think that he wants to sort of create that public distance in the same way that he didn't never want it to be seen as publicly pushing Biden aside.

He doesn't want to be seen as publicly helping Kamala Harris into the position. Yes, he's like the Derek Jeter of politics. He's a powerful guy, but he doesn't want anyone to think or anyone's feathers to be ruffled to think that he is one of those guys that are going to be like AOC, taking a radical position on everything. But you know that if he wanted Joe Biden to stay, he would still be in that job and there would have been an O-speech last night. I find it amazing, Charlie.

Maybe you do too, that people want to just credit Joe Biden for stepping aside at the right time. This guy had to be stabbed in the back and bled out. And gotten COVID in order to come to the conclusion he had no other choice. There's no way he did this for the good of the country. Right.

And look at Kamala Harris. She was nowhere to be seen last night during the speech. She wasn't even on the sidelines. They didn't post a picture of her watching. There was just sort of a bland tweet that was posted about 11 p.m.

last night. But until then, we haven't really heard much reaction from her. She's already trying to separate herself from Biden, throwing him under the bus as she tries to move forward with her own campaign.

So, Charlie, the other thing and just rereading some of the stories is the Washington Post story when they talked about why she is losing so many staff members. Over 80% have left since the day that she took the office. Why?

Well, one of the things is she's brutal to them. Number two, extremely demanding, condescending. And the other thing that came up is she refused to read her briefing papers. And when things went bad, she would blame people on her staff. I mean, how consistent was that?

Right. The trip to Guatemala is when things really blew up. And it started with that Lester Holt interview, that famous clip of her saying, you know, Lester Holt asking her, why haven't you been to the border? And she laughs and says, I haven't been to Europe. Her staffers had prepared her with an answer to that question.

It was a question Republicans were asking the Biden administration: when are you going to the border? When are you going to the border? But she didn't take it seriously. She forgot her answer, laughed off the question, and really came off looking really bad. And so that was just one sign of why staffers started leaving in droves.

They didn't see her as having a political future, and it certainly wasn't, you know, sometimes staffers will put up with abuse as long as they know that they're changing the world and dealing with a historic leader. That wasn't the case with Kamala Aires, which is why so many people started leaving. It isn't the case. But very interesting, now media is cooperating with the remake of her persona. Axios on Wednesday put out this.

Now, on october 14, 2021, Axios wrote this. Harris, appointed by Biden as Borders Ar said she would be looking at the root causes.

Now, when she keeps saying, I was never a border czar, that's something right-wing pundits have put on her. That's not true.

So, Axios acted yesterday and said, in the past few days, the Trump campaign and Republicans have tagged Harris repeatedly with the Border Czar title, which she never actually had. Oh, really?

So then they realized they wrote it and said, the article has been updated and clarified to note that Axios was among the news outlets that incorrectly labeled Harris as Border Czar.

So if you can't do the job, if you couldn't do the job, let's just change the job. It's kind of, if you've followed the White House for a long time, you know how this works, right? Anytime there's a thorny political issue, the president appoints somebody to take it off the table, and the media automatically calls them the czar. This happened during the Ebola. Remember the Ebola crisis?

Obama appointed Ron Clain to be the Ebola Tsar, and that's how the media branded him. It's a common incident in media and politics. And for everyone to pretend that this isn't what Biden did with her is absurd. Right. All right, Charlie.

People should pick up your book. You did some insight. I imagine you should update it and have another appendage to it because she's now running for president unless something goes terrendously wrong. Charlie Spearing, author of Amateur Hour, Kamala Harris in the White House. Go get him, Charlie.

You bet. Thanks so much, Brian. And by the way, if you want to see the clips, we're going to post them. Charlie was on Skype. That's the whole thing.

We stream the show.

So you stream it on Fox Nation. We also stream it on the app.

So you go to watch on the bottom, just page over, page over, page over in TC, Fox News Radio, and me, or Guy, or Jimmy on it, and you can watch the show. You can watch as well as see. I think that's where we're at right now. Radio is television, television is radio. Depending on what vehicle you're in.

Listen, we come back. I will get to a couple of phone calls. Just a few minutes left in this hour, and we'll give you the latest. I don't know where the Secretary of Defense is, but he's supposed to have had a presser already about the breach of our airspace by Russia and China simultaneously on Wednesday. Don't move.

Here are the ins and outs of the 2024 election right here: The Brian Kill Meat Show. A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show.

When asked who are you supporting for president, 44% said Kamala Harris, 42% said Donald Trump, 13% said Joe Biden. 38% said, Joe Biden, have you been paying attention to the news? 24% said, no, not really. Why?

Seventy two percent said, Bro, he dropped out four days ago. 52% said, oh, my bad, I've been super busy. 11% said so busy you didn't know the president dropped out. 63% said, will you lay off, man? My job is really stressful.

17% said, sorry, what's your job again? 24% said, I'm the head IT guy at CrowdStrike. That's so funny. I thought that was funny. That was great.

Listen, a lot of you are writing me, and I appreciate it. John Murphy writes this about what Jerry Nadler said yesterday in the hearing. Jerry Nadler, instead of asking questions of the FBI, came out and said, Shouldn't the president, the former president's top using terms like bloodbath, isn't that dangerous? Basically, saying, shouldn't he be arrested? And John Murphy writes this: Somebody needs to ask for a retraction of Nadler's statement.

Trump says there'll be a bloodbath if he loses, an outright lie, hate speech and fuel for an assistant and fuel for an assassin. Sick of these words getting a pass. He is the worst. I agree. Jerry Nadler is an embarrassment to New York.

And I know I'm in New York right now. About Kamala Harris. Prop 47 was a California law originally called the Criminal Sentences Misdemeanor Penalties Initiative, but changed to Safe Schools and Safe Neighborhoods Act. This law changed felonies for anyone stealing over $950. This resulted in shoplifting and theft that is rampant in California.

No one will get arrested under the level of this theft. Who was the author of that act? Kamala Harris. How devastating is that? Please tell me that the Trump people are putting this out.

Because this is the shot, the smash and grab was really coined. Out in California, where she was, who wants California justice? John writes this. Trump should start naming his cabinet.

Now that Trump has the nomination locked up and has chosen his running mate, he should start naming a few of the rock-solid leaders he plans to head the various cabinet departments. It would be a great contrast to the Democrats who have thoroughly screwed up the top of their ticket. Yeah. And by the way, Kamala Harris, basically, the word is not using the Secretary of State, not using Jake Sullivan, not using Secretary of Defense, who are all terrible, by the way. Absolute embarrassment, but they're doing everything because he doesn't do anything.

But I will say this. Early on, I wanted to see him name his cabinet because I wanted people to be assured that people would work for him.

Now that's known. What I would do is people that are that are skilled politically, like John Radcliffe, like Mike Pompeo, to go out for him. And start campaigning for them, going in a fundraisers for them. Even if they're smaller fundraisers, smaller events, if you just say, hey, listen, it looks like I'm going to be CIA Director, Secretary of Defense, for example, the Governor of North Dakota. Why not put him out there?

Why not Senator Marco Rubio? From Florida, why not get him out there? These are finalists to be the VP, but I would argue, Ben Carson, you know, he's going to be in the cabinet. But fanning him out across the country in small and big venues, knowing arming them with the facts about what Trump wants to do and what Kamala Harris is capable of doing. Man.

That's a great idea. John Hart, another good idea. He writes to me all the time. Hey, go to BrianKillme.com. Order tickets for Stroudsburg.

It's coming up on Saturday. It's going to be Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, History, Liberty, and Laughs. I'll talk about all my books, including the latest Teddy and Booker T. And by the end, you'll realize we are an exceptional nation. But you'll have facts to back it up at your next barbecue.
