Trump leading in 6 out of 7 battleground states with 21 days to go...

From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. Hi everyone, welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kill Me Show. Hope you had a fantastic weekend. We're back in action now.

I'm sure you were glued to the weekend coverage because we had the president speaking, One Nation really wrapped around the president's remarks over Coachella, California, kind of a rural area of Riverside where a guy showed up with a bunch of guns and a phony license plate and phony ID, multiple passports. We still don't know his last name, but we don't think it was an assassination attempt. Good luck with that. We'll try to unwind that in a second.

Meanwhile, great news for us. We are expanding our network of affiliates. WLNA 14:20 a.m. in Peekskill, New York, and WBNR, 12:60 a.m. in Beacon, New York.

WGHQ, 9:20 a.m. Both come aboard today, Monday through Friday. They'll be taking the show live. Keep in mind, too, in Peekskill, New York, for two it is for us. I'll be there Sunday at 7 o'clock.

Uh, we might have a special guest, Peak Skills Finest, on stage with us. It'll be streaming on Fox Nation, History, Liberty, and Lefts. Go to BrianKillmee.com to where to get tickets over at the Paramount, and we'll see you in person. But before we get to our first guest, Kelly McEnany, and our second guest sponge, Kurt Volcker, here is the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. But it was a Hezbollah drone attack that you mentioned last night that proved deadly. This morning, Defense Minister Yoav Galan visited the army base where four soldiers were killed. Each one of them was just 19 years old.

Yeah, there we go. Israel under attack while still on the attack, but help is on the way. New American missile system, all with an eye towards Iran. Number two. He just says things over and over and over.

Often they're lies, but yet people start to believe them. And he's good at this, at the power of repetition. What are we all, as members of the media, how should we be approaching this? They're three weeks to go. This is a dangerous paradigm.

Really? Nice, fair, and balanced coverage. Insanely unhinged. Desperate network media throwing wild, unfound accusations at Trump. You must hear it to be believing it.

Number one. Yeah, and it's working. My campaign has raised a billion dollars. Oh my Lord. How are you not winning by a landslide?

That's a question I scream into my pillow every morning. 22 days in counting. Down is where the Harris numbers are heading in a razor-thin election. How internal falling out between the Biden and Harris team could be there. Undoing and already doing damage.

Kaylee, we were just talking to this. Great to see you. Good to be here. You are filling it for Angela, Fox and Friends getting super outnumbered at noon and you made other appearances. But your thoughts about a possible Biden-Harris schism.

Yeah, it's evident.

So, interestingly, there is this NBC article that comes out, and we see the Axios report that isn't being denied by the Kamala Harris campaign that there's this rift and division. If something's not true, you deny it.

Well, they did not comment. But the NBC article is interesting because it says in there that Biden was kind of ruffled, his feathers were ruffled when Harris said, I am not Joe Biden in the debate. That was one of her most popular lines of the debate. But Joe Biden was a little perturbed about that. And the broader point of the article is whether Kamala is going to distance herself from Biden.

And there's this one quote in there from a former aide, a current aide, that says, she is unfailingly loyal.

Well, she may be unfailingly loyal all the way back to her home in California after November, where she can stare at a cardboard cut out of Joe Biden. Biden, because unfailing loyalty to Joe Biden and not separating yourself is a way to doom your campaign. Right, but he thinks he was going to run on his record and win. Remember, he spent all last summer doing what? Selling Bidenomics.

He spent $40 million and the numbers didn't move. But instead of, wow, you know what? We got to sober up and understand maybe what's going on here. Let's look at the numbers. And he didn't.

He just was doubled down and got angrier that people weren't realizing how good he was doing. That's right. I mean, look, you're going to double down on inflation. People see inflation when they go to the grocery store. You're going to double down on these high interest rates, the unaffordability of housing.

You're going to double down on all that. He's tried it. It didn't work. If I were Kamala Harris, I would have made a clean break as much as you can because she voted for the Inflation Reduction Act and the American Rescue Plan, all these things that caused inflation. I would have made a clean break and said, this is how I differ from Joe Biden on the economy.

But she can't do that. Here is Howard Enton of CNN. And this is maybe part of the reason we're getting these extreme remarks. Marks, Cut 13. Party ID nationally.

You go to October and November of 2016, Democrats had a three-point advantage. You go four years ago, Democrats had a six-point advantage. Look at where we are today, Manu. Republicans with a one-point advantage. A very different picture, very much mirroring what we see in the party registration numbers in those key battleground states and Pennsylvania in particular.

The GOP leads by a point in party identification right now. The average when the Republican Party loses is the Democrats ahead by eight. When the Republican Party wins, the average party ID advantage for Democrats is three. Republicans right now, Manu, are doing even better than the average when they win. If there's one little nugget that I think Republicans are really hopeful for, it's this party ID and this party registration data.

It really points in a good direction for them and for Donald Trump.

So, when it's on CNN, and the only thing the anchor could say is, wow. Right. Yeah. Do you know they hate to report this? Definitely.

Harry Nten, what a fascinating data point.

So you've got to put all these points together. He says, we're seeing voter registration, Republicans with a one-point advantage. Unheard of, Republicans have it. Then you add that to the polling that came out yesterday, where Trump gained five points nationally in the NBC poll, now tied with Harris nationally. You add that to him making gains in the ABC poll and the CBS poll, all of that out yesterday.

And then you add that to the posture of the press and the fact that you have Democrats in panic mode, backgrounding to reporters how worried they are, how bad the internal polls are, all of that together would make me feel very good today if I'm Donald J. Trump. Anything can happen, but today I'd be feeling pretty good. I would. And the thing is, too, is that, you know, people want to say this week with George Sevanopoulos and meet the press, face the nation.

They like to look at themselves as balance. Yeah. You know, because they might have a balanced panel. But to host Stephanopoulos last week, January 6th, 2020 election. Just off as Adivmont and his anger looks on his face, looks he's furious.

And then to see Martha Radditz go at it with J.D. Vance like she did, I was just stunned by this. Listen to this exchange, cut forward. President Trump was actually in Aurora, Colorado, talking to people on the ground. And what we're hearing, of course, Martha, is that people are terrified by what has happened with some of these Venezuelan gangs.

Senator Vance, I'm going to stop you because I know exactly what happened. I'm going to stop you. The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes, and the mayor said our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns. A handful of problems. Only, Martha, do you hear yourself?

Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris's open border. Americans are so fed up with what's going on, and they have every right to be. And I really find this exchange, Martha, sort of interesting because you seem to be more focused with nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has said rather than acknowledging that apartment complexes in the United States of America are being taken over by violent gangs.

Okay, let's just end that with they did not invade or take over the city, as Donald Trump said. I mean, it did. You replayed this this morning, but I couldn't believe it. I was watching it. I still can't believe it.

So, a handful of apartment complexes filled with American citizens, by the way, working-class American citizens, are supposed to accept that Venezuelan gangs are taking them over. Martha Radditz, who lives in the swamp, would never accept that if this were her residence. But you, plebeians, you must accept it. Good for J.D. Vance for challenging the premise of the question.

That is how you do an effective interview. And my gosh, how out of touch can you be, Martha? Right. And the thing is, she kept with the same tone, kissing the butt of the Democrat that came on after. And then the same thing with the panel, she was putting her hand on the scale.

But what they are doing now, she's trending on X, and they have a picture of her $2.2 million house. And what if they were coming into your house? Would that be a different? It's only one house. It's only Martha Radditz's house.

Exactly. It is so deeply, deeply out of touch. But that is what these people are. In New York and D.C., they're so out of touch. They don't understand the Trump movement.

They don't understand how you could be upset. A gang takes over your house. And by the way, let's talk about the human toll. There shouldn't be one girl who goes jogging that loses her life to someone who should not be in this country. And there have been several, not to mention a young girl, Jocelyn Ngari, who walked to a convenience store and she lost her life too.

And we're just supposed to accept that this is the new status quo? No. I know, Kaylee, you had to ready for your show and you're doing a million things.

So I want to play one soundbite from you. From Kimberly Straslow, conservative columnist on Wall Street Journal. She wrote a column a week and a half ago saying Donald Trump needs a topic sentence. And I had her on Saturday night to see, just to recap his live event. I want you to, I just want to comment on this.

Here's Kimberly Strassel. Cut 21. Americans in their heart understand that why are prices so high? Because government spent too much money. Why are we seeing global disorder?

Because government hasn't done its job, stood up for America. Why are we seeing crime because of border policies that government instituted? You know, and Reagan understood this. And those famous Reagan words, the scariest words ever, is I'm from the government and I'm here to help. And if you are looking to the federal government for solutions, this is the kind of mess that you get always.

It's a time-worn prospect. I'd love to see Donald Trump make that point to undergird his points a little bit more. Instead of just saying Kamala's terrible, Kamala is awful. It's actually government that's awful. And I think that would resonate with more voters.

Trying to tell you a car to drive, the Tony, ovens to use. Talk about more practical things. And we know about we're still getting COVID tests in the mail, things to that nature. Do you think she has a point? Yes.

And I mean, Shannon Bream has to ask Tim Walls about if he really wants socialism in America. I mean, that is put so well by Kimberly Strassel. She is brilliant, as always. The only thing I would add to that is for Trump to remind people, it will be morning in America again if you give me the presidency. That money that I added to your wallet, $4,379 in one year was the average median household income increased in the year before COVID.

I will put money in your pocket. I will make it morning in America again. And here is the threat they represent. You want to contrast your vision, your future, your presidency with the failed presidency of Obama.

So you want us to paint how bad it is, but always end up beat. Yes. What could be? And contrast. Here are your choices, A and B.

So put both out and let the American people decide. I bet they choose the Trump years.

So where do you think the campaign is right now? Where do you think the numbers are right now? Oh, I think I look, I hesitate to say this because everyone said red wave, red wave, that didn't transpire. Anything can happen, but I very much. Much believe, like Mark Halperin, that Donald Trump could win six of seven swing states, if not all seven.

And it could be, could be an early night. Who knows? But I just think inflation is going to be such a huge get-out-the-vote operation for everyday Americans to get out and make a change. Bigger than abortion. Yes, without a doubt.

Abortion matters to a small Group of people. Yes, it is the number three issue in a lot of the polls, but number one and number two are immigration and the economy. And Donald Trump wins every day. Kayla McKinney, you've had way too much of me. No, never.

Three hours and 20 minutes. Come on, I'm numbered. We could have more.

Okay, fine. I'm going to kick out the guy you have coming up. Kick out Griff, Jacob. Do we know? Is it Griff?

It is Griff. He's the worst. He is. He is a terrible person. And he knows nothing about the world.

And that doesn't do any reporting. No, never. We're being sarcastic. Kaylee, thank you so much. Dr.

Calls in just a moment. 1-866-408-7669. Then we go global with Kurt Volcker. This is the Brian Killmeat Show. Here are the ins and outs of the 2024 election right here: The Brian Killmeat Show.

Listen to the all-new Brett Bear podcast, featuring common ground, in-depth talks with lawmakers from opposite sides of the aisle, along with all your Brett Bear favorites like his all-star panel and much more. Available now at FoxnewsPodcasts.com or wherever you get your podcasts. From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmead.

Well, you can't win every demographic. I mean, the reality is that for the first time in 32 years in this poll, it shows that Republicans are beating Democrats straight up. When you ask people a generic ballot in thirty-two years, it shows that Donald Trump's doing better with black voters, Hispanic voters, off the charts. But the most important thing is, what happened last week is that what was working with female voters with Kamala Harris was that There was some feeling of joy in the air.

Well, that joy is gone. That uh she had a terrible week.

So, Reince Priebus is a solid panelist. Governor Christie was great on ABC, but when he came out, he ran for president, opened up a slot on ABC in that panel. And Reince Priebus did a really good job. He's obviously outnumbered the host plus everybody else, but he knows the facts. He ran the whole thing.

I mean, he ran the whole thing for two cycles ever since Michael Steele screwed it up so apparently abundantly.

So he was just talking about where we're at right now.

So let me give you some stats. ABC says it's 50-48 Harris, but it was 51-46 three weeks ago. NBC says 48-48. She lost five points one month ago. NBC 48% approval for Donald Trump is the highest of his political career.

So with everybody beating him up with January 6th, all the trials, think about all the headwinds. He had a contested primary, and now he had two different opponents: one too old, one way inexperienced, teams overhead, regardless. A DNC just beating him up. Mm. And a lot of people like Liz Cheney anti-Trumpers, and he's got a higher approval rating than ever before.

What other are stats I think matter to you? How about this? And I think this really matters, the gender gap. Donald Trump plus 16 for men. She's plus 14 for women.

It's really men against women. He's going to spend some time trying to get more women. She's going to spend some time trying to get some of the rural voters. She put out an embarrassing ad. You know, Eric, if we can at one point grab it, it is so embarrassing.

The man ad, which they consider men, they have these raw working class men lifting weights in a barn, one sitting on the back of a pickup truck, every stereotype imaginable. Talking about their sensitive side. In retrospect, job approval. Joe Biden's up 43%. Donald Trump's job approval is 48%.

They remember him better than they do Joe Biden, who has the job. On the economy, 59% of Americans say they believe the economy is getting worse compared to 23% who said it's getting better. That helps Trump. Immigration, 56% of Americans now favor deporting. All undocumented migrants, as Trump has proposed.

Do you believe this? That number was probably 35% tops, maybe 30% when he first talked about doing that in 2017. Abortion, 56%, also support reason restoring abortion access to what it was before Roe v. Wade. Battleground states Harris put.08, Harris.07 in Michigan.

The first one was Pennsylvania. Wisconsin, Harris,.06. Um. Then in We have North Carolina Harris. Plus 0.5 Not five, point five.

And Trump, Georgia's got Trump's got Georgia, Trump's got North Carolina, excuse me, yeah, Trump's got North Carolina and Arizona.

So That does not have North Carolina, so I'll look that up.

So they're about split, but it's all percentage points. And the word is, and the saying goes with the pollsters, if it's close, it's Trump's, because most people do not want to admit they're voting for him. Here is also something he has: it's a secret weapon. He talked about this with Maria yesterday. Barrett is so into politics, and he's helping his dad with Gen Zers.

Cut three. Ms. President, I know that you've been doing a lot of Gen Z and you're doing more Gen Z podcasts. Is the influence coming from Barron? A little bit.

I mean, he tells me about all the hot guys, people I never heard about. Dead, that guy is hot. You know, he's very cute, actually. Yeah, a little bit. You know, Baron's a very good student.

He's going to a very good school. He's got good marks. He's also tall. He's very tall. He's a tall student.

But a little bit. But, you know, Don knows a lot about it, and Eric knows a lot about it. Tiffany knows a lot. Spreading out the well. I was surprised.

Remember how reluctant Baron looked? In the Vimelight Allison. I mean, he seemed like a guy, the young man, like, please get me away from this. Who would think by the time he's nineteen he wanted to be a delegate in the at the RNC? But I mean, that's also I feel like, you know, he was a young kid when he fer when Trump first got into politics and now he's lived through it, went through high school.

Do you think being did he finish high school in Florida? Yeah. Do you think that changed it at all being in a totally different environment like DC or New York? Yeah, that could have done it. I think that also, like, at least having a good time at NYU, I think he learned to make the best of it, too.

He doesn't want a perfect life, but I think he appreciates. Boody Scott. Plus he's got. The president's grandkids are like his age. A talk show that's real.

This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Israel has intercepted two drones fired from Syria, and Hezbollah continues firing on northern and central Israel. Take a look at this new video from Haifa, where you can see rockets are being fired this morning. Israel's Iron Dome remains busy there as the ground offensive continues not far away. But it was a Hezbollah drone attack that you mentioned last night that proved deadly.

This morning, Defense Minister Yoav Galan visited the army base where four soldiers were killed. Each one of them was just 19 years old. Seven others are seriously wounded. Dozens more are injured. And it's really heating up as Israel has been taking it to Hezbollah, taking it to Hamas.

Uh doing the best they can. Uh lining up what I think will be a comprehensive attack on Iran while taking out doing damage to the Houthi rebels.

Meanwhile, there's a war raging in Ukraine. They're doing a lot of sophisticated things now, coming up with their own drone technology, their own swarms. Russia is moving ahead.

Now there's rumors of. North Korean, more than rumors, North Koreans actually fighting alongside Russians in Ukraine. Kurt Volcker joins us now, former U.S. Ambassador of NATO, former United States Special Rep for Ukrainian Negotiations, Distinguished Fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis. Ambassador, welcome back.

First off, your thought about what's unfolding in the Middle East, because it also plays into major world powers, because Russia is playing a role with Iran, Russia's playing a role with the Houthi rebels, suddenly, China. Is also helping while trying to stay on both sides of all issues. Your thoughts. Yeah. Hey, Brian, great to be with you again.

Thanks. I think the number one issue that defines everything that's happening in the Middle East right now is our refusing to take hold Iran accountable. Iran feels that it has sanctuary. It gets its proxies to do the fighting. Israel is fighting back against those proxies, and nothing is happening to Iran, and so they continue.

And this is the role the United States has always played is to be a deterrent, really, to let the Iranians know that we are willing to hit them if they would allow these kinds of attacks to take place. And that gave Israel some confidence. That has all unraveled now. Why is that? Why don't they see that?

Why don't they see that Iran is providing rockets and drones to Russia? Why don't they see that they're behind all this? And see this is an opportunity to hit Iran since they've been hitting us in nineteen seventy nine. Does it matter? Exactly.

No, I think it's I think they see it. but their choices as to what to do are very different. Everything you hear the administration say is avoid escalation. We need to deescalate. We need to ceasefire.

What does that do? That tells Iran that they have nothing to worry about, and it tells Israel that they're on their own. And that means that Israel is taking the fight to Hezbollah, for example. But then this escalates out of control.

So by saying all of this emphasis on fear of escalation, we're actually creating some of that escalation.

So what's interesting is too is that this is an opportunity, isn't it? It's an opportunity in Lebanon to turn the country back over to the Lebanese. And evidently we're making moves to do that. But you know who's standing in our way? Qatar in Egypt.

Yeah. Yeah, so-called friends in the region, but on this one they're on a different side. And if again, if the United States is not clear about our strategy and what we are trying to accomplish, and having these rails back, then you have all of these uh other actors on the field pushing their own interests and it becomes a very complicated environment.

So with the relationship with Netanyahu, when you find the Vice President blows off the address to a joint session of Congress, when she says that she that Israel is our friend but not Netanyahu, how does that play into this whole coming to a ceasefire anywhere?

Well, you know, look, she's dealing with her own domestic politics where the Democratic Party is very divided.

Some very vocal pro-Palestinians, and she wants to get their votes. And still there are some pro-Israelis and she wants to get their votes too. But the reality is we can't afford, first off, in foreign policy to make it a partisan matter. Secondly, we actually have to focus on the substance of the issue. And it is about Israel and security in the Middle East and our relationships with others in the region.

It is not just about our domestic politics and how we play it. And we shouldn't be picking sides. We shouldn't be picking personnel saying we like this guy, we don't like that guy. We have to deal with the world the way it is. True.

I want you to hear what Lindsey Graham had to say after visiting Israel, CUP 33. Never ask Israel to make a deal with people who want to cut their throat. If you don't understand that the people coming after Israel also want to come after us here at home, you're national security stupid.

So here's the deal that I want to make: I want the Arabs to reconcile with the Israelis to isolate the great Satan, Iran. Why did I go to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates? These two Arab leaders would like to do a deal with Israel that when the war Gaza, that they will come in and take over Gaza and the West Bank and replace a system that teaches killing all the Jews with teaching tolerance. That's the only way you're going to protect Israel. Do you want to take that on?

Okay, quick. Yeah, I think he's absolutely right. We have to give back to the Arabs and the Israelis seeing a common interest. in working together and building peace And the real challenge in the region is coming from Iran.

So we've completely lost that focus right now, but Lindsey Graham. Might have lost the ambassador. It was in a bad area. We'll try to get him back. You back there, Ambassador Volcker?

I lost the signal there for a moment, but you're back. Can you repeat that? No, you all said we just got it. You support Lindsey Graham, and I think the whole region is open to normalizing relations with Israel except Iran. But I want to go to another area of expertise, and that's Ukraine.

It looks like President Zelensky has accused North Korea of sending not only weapons, but troops. And some, according to reports, have already died in battle. Kim Jong-un is putting North Korean troops in battle and with Russia. Why is this not a bigger deal?

Well, it should be a bigger deal. And what's actually happened here is kind of interesting, too. The North Koreans have providing the bulk of the artillery shells that Russia is firing. They are sending Russia more artillery systems than Russia produces on its own. It turns out these are not working very well.

They have a lot of misfiring. And so the North Koreans brought in technical advisors to then look at what the Russians are doing and how it's working to see if they can make any improvements. But as you say, this alliance between North Korea and Russia in fighting in Ukraine should be a much bigger deal. Right. I mean, this is the beginning of a world war.

I mean, you have Axis powers fighting alongside each other against an ally of ours with NATO ringed around. Iran is there as well. Yeah. Yep. Iran is providing all of the drones that Russia is using to fire Ukrainian cities every night.

And Russia's providing, in return, something for something for North Korea, no doubt, probably missile technology, providing something for Iran, Feynman, plus a lot of political cover in the Middle East. You think the Chinese are on the ground? Do you think the Chinese are on the ground with troops? I don't think they're on the ground. No, I think the Chinese are actually sitting it out in terms of participating in the war, but they're providing a lot of liquidity to the system by buying raw materials, fuel, gas, oil from Russia, from Iran, and basically benefiting from cheap access to energy because of the war and then providing goods in exchange, even busting some sanctions.

So the Chinese are a little bit more passive on this, but they are still very actively involved. Ambassador Kurt Volcker, I guess. And Kurt, here it is. After internal debate, President Biden is deciding against. Allowing Russia to use American weapons to strike targets in Russia.

There's been a particular focus of President Zelensky over the past few months, but both the Americans and Coordinator allies are convinced it's not a strategic ask, meaning it wouldn't have a significant impact on the battlefield. Isn't that nice? We sit there in Europe and in America and we tell them it wouldn't help either way?

Okay. Yeah. Can you imagine if Somebody was attacking the United States. And we were being told by our friends and allies: oh, don't attack back, don't hit them back, only fire back if they're inside your country. Crazy.

That's crazy. But they're not. They say the Kremlin has been banging the drum about bringing the war directly to NATO if they go ahead and allow them to strike in Russia. And the Biden administration says they're hearing that Russia would provide advanced anti-ship missiles to the Houthi rebels. What's your reaction to that?

Do we just stand by and watch that? Yeah, well we should not allow Russia to threaten us and deter us. We are far more capable, and Russia knows it. They say these things to get us to avoid doing what we could do. We shouldn't pay any attention to those kinds of threats.

We should make our own decisions about what needs to be done. And frankly, as Ronald Reagan always said, if you want to get peace, you have to have peace through strength. If you allow yourself to be deterred into submission, then it's not going to be peace. It's going to be submission. And you know what, Ambassador, whoever the next president is.

Uh has to double the defense budget. There's just no way. The best way to avoid the next war and supply our allies what they need to defend themselves, and most of them can pay. Let them have the missile systems. They'll buy them from us.

We'll make them. But our industrial base is too small right now. Right. And concerning Ukraine, I think the best idea I've heard is is from Mike Pompeo. Put in place a lend-lease program for Ukraine, just like we did for the UK in World War two.

They can borrow as much money as they need. They pay us back later when they've won the war. They buy only American defense goods.

So it's not costing the taxpayers anything, but it is getting Ukraine massive quantities without limitations of what they need so that we can get the war over with. I hear you. Ambassador Kurt Volcker, thanks so much. All right. Thank you.

Take care, everybody. You got it. 1866-408-7669. That's what's going on in the global scene. That's what's going on in the domestic scene.

Much more to go, including one unhinged response from Speaker Johnson, who told me over the weekend, I said, wow, great job on Meet the Press. He said, Did you see you on Face the Nation? And I said, No, I didn't know you were on. He said, They edited my remarks. He said they did a taped interview and they cut out the parts where he thought he had the strongest argument.

They cut it out. Why is that? You gave a congressman after that. Three segments. And you cut off the Speaker of the House.

You couldn't give him a full segment. And your drum roll, please, CBS. This is the Brian Killme show. You'll hear that when we come back. Giving you everything you need to know.

You're with Brian Kilmead. A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmead. A new report shows that inflation has dropped to its lowest level in almost four years. Man, I just wish Joe Biden was still around to see this.

Oh, he is? How do you know? Right, that was just some of the jokes I get. I did not see Weekend Up Day. I just did see the cold open, though, which I thought the cold open was a little bit like old times.

Uh, because they really took it to Joe Biden, which by the way, they never would have done if he was the nominee. Because Dana Carvey was absolutely amazing as Joe Biden. Listen to this: cut 48. Let's go over to President Joe Biden. And something that you keep in your glove box.

I like to buy a valve. Yeah. That is, that's that's the wrong game, Player. Come on, Conan. What are you doing?

It's me. I'm still the president. I'm Joe. I may be older. I'll beat the hell out of you.

I'll pop you. I'll give you an uncle sandwich. You know how to do it. I can make sandwiches. And guess what?

Here's the deal: I'm not the old one now. Trump is. The only difference I know when to walk away. About six months too late.

Okay, show me whatever that was.

So they were playing Family Few to begin with. I thought it was pretty funny. I mean, they that's funny, but they never would have let Dana Carvey do that if he was nominated. Do you agree? No, I completely agree with you, but I am thankful that we get to see Dana Carvey do it because he's so good.

How much do you want to bet that he's going way too far than they want? Because he because you hear him talk, he knows Joe Biden lost his mind. Yes. Like as as Dana Carvey. Do you think it's too far from like who L wants Joe Biden?

Do you think Lorne Michaels and these guys are like, come on. I mean, he I think he's had living a lot of that. No, I mean, probably, but I also think they're probably very happy with him going that far because they're also like he's like he just said, I stayed in six months too late. I bet they're all angry about the fact. He stayed in too long.

Wow. All right. So here's um This is more of the family feud. This is This is Kamala Harris on the open, Cup 43. Yeah, and if you're not sure.

Working. My campaign has raised a billion dollars. Oh, my Lord. How are you not winning by a landslide? That's a question I scream into my pillow every morning.

Right. Yeah. You know, what if I landslide? That is a question that I don't think anybody could really understand on those Sunday morning, Sunday morning shows. Here's more from Kamala Harris.

Remember, they're up at the, she's going against Trump, Cup 45.

Okay, gee. Give me time to give me trouble. I'm telling you, Steve, she's going to be horrible at this game. She's a very low IQ person. The whole world is laughing at her because they don't respect her like they respected me.

Well, okay, Steve. The fact is, Donald Trump likes dictators, all right? Because anyone can manipulate him simply through flattery. That's simply not true. It's not true.

Okay. You look handsome tonight. I love her. Isn't she great? She's got my vote.

Right, pretty funny. What you said after, I'm a middle-class person, we'll probably grab at some point. Oh, that's 46? Let's listen.

Alright, let's play the game.

Okay, one other. People surveyed top six answers on the board, name something that you keep in your glove compartment. Oh, VP Harris. Steve. Look.

I was raised in a middle-class family. Oh, here we go.

Okay, my mother. Raised my sister and me. All right. She worked hard and saved up. Yeah, uh-huh.

And we had a second mother, too.

Okay. Did that mother have a glove apartment? Small business owner named Miss Shelton.

Okay, we got that something that you keep in your glove apartment. Oh, a Glock, Steve. A big old Glock. Mm. It's funny.

I mean, the other thing with the cold open being Good again. They also have really good people playing the candidates. Oh, Keenan is great. And Maya Rudolph's. On point with Kamala.

Yeah. I think she's good, but I just think they're way too positive with her, but I expected that. At least they started with the middle class thing and they went with that, but they do make her seem much more competent. They make Trump seem nuts, but not as hateful. But Alex Bolden played a hateful.

Yeah, and angry. And remember Robert Zeiro came on as. Um You know, as Robert Mueller, I'm coming after you. It was crazy. It was not even entertainment.

And now it is.

Now it is. All right, so I was telling you about the Sunday shows just going off, and I told you already about what happened with J.D. Vance, who just destroyed Martha Radditz, even though I don't believe she knows it. Speaker Johnson also had his moment on Meet the Press, cut five. You can see that he didn't release his medical records.

You don't want to know things like his cholesterol level, whether he's dealing with any issue that we may not know about if he's going to be commander-in-chief. And he also said he would relieve cognitive. Kristen, listen to your question. Should he release that? Kristen, the American people don't care about the cholesterol level of Donald Trump.

They care about the cost of living and the fact they cannot pay for groceries because Kamala Harris and Joe Biden's policies have put them in that situation. The medical records are irrelevant. Let's talk about things that the American people care about. That's why Donald Trump is surging in the polls because he's doing that on stages, in interviews, nonstop around the clock. And Kamala Harris has done nothing.

Every time she talks, her numbers go down because she is uniquely. unqualified to be the Commander-in-Chief.

So, could you believe that they just focus on, okay, now we got this thing. It's called She's 59 and He's 78. Gets Medical Records. Let's focus on that. Let's focus on January 6th.

Let's focus on 2020. Let's focus on court cases. That dog doesn't hunt, so they don't even bring that up anymore. All right, so that's it for this hour. Just keep in mind: we have great news today.

WLNA is now carrying our show at 14:20 a.m. in Peakskill, New York. I just drove by that en route to watching my daughter's soccer game this weekend.

So, the exit for Peekskill because I'll be there Sunday at 7 o'clock. History, Liberty, and Laughs. Have a chance to go on stage, walk through history through my six history books and my two sports books. It'll be inspirational, motivational, and patriotic. And I hope everyone can get tickets.

So, we bring history to life. You will have a great time and also have a chance to meet you in a VIP if you're able to do that and fit that into your schedule. Yeah. From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmead.

All right, welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kill Me Show coming to you from Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, around the world. This hour, we got two exciting guests coming your way and also covering the stories that mean the most. Michael Goodwin standing by at the New York Post and Jerry Willis, Fox Business Reporter, host of the Real Tough Women on Fox Nation and host of the Fearless and Proud podcast.

So, Jerry Willis is going to be here too, talking about the economy with some staggering numbers. The numbers say the economy is good, the people say it isn't, and it's pretty been consistent for two years.

So, how long the Democrats are going to stay with it, I'm not sure. Because they're not feeling it. Also, a big day for us. We're now being able to be heard in Beacon, New York, and Peakskill, New York. WLNA, 14:20 a.m.

and WBNR at 12:60 a.m. and WGHQ 9:20 a.m. in Kingston, New York, all carrying us live. They're all called The Beacon.

So, thanks so much for listening, especially in Peacekill. We're going to be live on stage there this Sunday, 7 o'clock, go live. We'll also be able to simulcast on Fox Nation. We go to a stage show like you've never seen before. We bring history and patriotism to life.

So, let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. But it was a Hezbollah drone attack that you mentioned last night that proved deadly. This morning, Defense Minister Johav Galan visited the army base where four soldiers were killed. Each one of them was just 19 years old.

And that, of course, is great. Nate Foy, Israel under attack. And while still on the attack, but help is on the way. A new American missile system, the FAAD system, is put in place shortly with eyes towards Iran and the possible retaliation. Number two.

He just says things over and over and over, often their lives. But yet people start to believe them. And he's good at this, at the power of repetition. What are we all, as members of the media, how should we be approaching this? There are three weeks to go.

This is a dangerous paradigm. Besides that, I don't know. Don't leave the witness. I don't know who you're going to vote for. Jonathan Lemire of MSNBC, Insanely Unhinged, Desperate Network Media, throwing wild, unfounded accusations Trump's way.

You must hear it to be believed. Number one. And it's working. My campaign has raised a billion dollars. Oh, my Lord.

How are you not winning by a landslide? Yeah, that's a question I scream into my pillow every morning. Right, that was fun. Of course. Uh, Steve Harvey playing the role of host a family feud, and it was the Trumps against the Democrats.

22 days in counting. Down is where the Harris numbers are heading in a razor-thin election. How an internal falling out between the Biden and Harris teams could be their undoing and already doing damage. Can you imagine the stories that are going to come out if she loses this election? Let alone what's coming out before there's an election, while the campaigning is going on, a lot of regrets.

Michael Goodwin knows all about the internal makings of politics. He works for the New York Post. His latest column: here are the three reasons why I'm voting for Donald Trump. Michael, welcome back. Thank you, Brian.

You know, Brian, what you just said about the imagine the stories that will come out of Harris loses, that's a very interesting thought, right? Because after Biden withdrew, all these stories came. out everybody knew. that he was uh losing it. Uh but before, no, no.

It was Omerta about all of the dirty deeds and events of Joe Biden behind the scenes. But you're right. If Harris loses this, I think the floodgates will open of how they all saw it coming, and she wouldn't study, she wouldn't do this, she wouldn't listen, right?

So that will be an interesting follow-up. Yeah, I mean, the Axios has a story today. The VP reportedly weighs now how to distance herself from Biden's record. And they report that the relationship between Harris' campaign and Biden's campaign has been increasingly fraught in the final weeks. The relationship between them, they said, is fraught because 10 people familiar with the situation tell Axios that Biden aides have joined, the ones that have joined Harris' camp, say they feel like they've been labeled as disloyal by Biden's team for having even considered it.

Really? I thought it was their vice president that he wants to see win. Tensions are high between both teams. And keep in mind, Joe Biden has made it clear he is. Chagrined that she will not run on his record.

But when asked about what you do different from Joe Biden, Michael Goodwin, she said, not much. Yeah. Nothing comes to mind, right? Yeah, it's extraordinary. And of course it goes back to the mainstream.

Biden not wanting to leave the stage. And he feels he was pushed out against his will, and he was. But Look. I think anybody with any sense of neutrality would have to conclude Joe Biden was not going to be able to make it for four more years. And so the plan was obviously for him to win the election and then, at some point in the term, hand it over to her.

That wasn't going to work. He wasn't going to win the election. After that debate, it was pretty clear. And so he got the bums rush. She got the job, and she clearly isn't ready for it.

I mean, I think there's no other way to look at her campaign. Brand, the fact that she hides so much that she will not answer questions, that when she does, there's no there there. Uh It really is quite revealing. And when you look at the history of the the last four years, the terrible policies that they have followed. And she Has no alternative.

I mean, that's what's really striking, too. You had a president whose approval ratings were in the high 30s for much of his term, and she has over the economy, the border, et cetera, and she has no new ideas, nothing different.

Now, I guess you can say, oh, it's all about him. It's not about the policies. That's a tough sell, too. You know, I think American people have just said, I'm making my own decision. I'm not waiting for Martha Raditz.

I'm not waiting for Margaret Brennan. I'm not waiting for David Axerod. I'm not waiting for Anderson Cooper and Jake Tapper. I'm doing myself. And they can't believe it.

They can't believe that they've been telling you how ridiculous Donald Trump is, what a bad president he was, how corrupt he was, and now he's more popular than ever. He's got 47% approval, which may not sound high, but in this polarized environment, it's amazingly high, especially this is the middle. Of the greatest comeback in American political history. But this is what I look for: the desperation in normally rational people. Jim Clyburn, listened to him yesterday.

He's desperate to get black men to stop saying they're going to vote for Trump or stay home.

So he did a tour of Michigan, and this was his message: cut seven. We will expect. Project twenty twenty five to be a full blown policy in his administration. And what would that policy be? I described it on the first night of our national convention, and I've been describing it that way ever since.

It will be Jim Crow. 2.0. Really? So the President's going to say use whitewater fountains and blackwater fountains, black bathrooms and white bathrooms, get to the back of the bus. Let's not integrate school.

I mean, are you going to go back to a horrendous time in American history? Is he serious?

Well Uh he is serious. And that's the problem, that this is their argument. They have to lie in order to create a momentum or a reason for voting against Trump. They're not even trying to tell you Harris will be a good president anymore. They've given up on that.

It's now just how bad Trump would be. And so they have no real answers.

So they have to lie. They have to. I mean, the 2025 thing, he not only disavowed it from the first time he was asked about it, the Heritage Foundation fired the guy who wrote it. Uh i that should end that. The same way when he says that uh uh you know, I will not support uh a national ban on abortion.

He has said that repeatedly, and yet they keep saying, Oh, they want to ban abortion and Donald Trump will sign legislation.

So it it just shows me, Brian, that they don't have any confidence in their own candidate, that they've got to lie about Trump. uh in order to create a justification a mere justification for electing Kamala Harris and Tim Walls. And I I think it's it sort of reveals itself.

Now obviously, it's a close election because uh half the country or nearly half, does hate Donald Trump or is just uh uh uh has sworn allegiance to the Democratic Party, no matter if a dead raccoon is on the ballot. Uh nonetheless, uh i i Trump looks like he's building a nice Lead in the swing states, and the fact that the national polls. Have it pretty close, very close, one or two points separating them. That would, if history is any lesson, that would suggest that Trump will win the Electoral College because a Democrat has to win by roughly three and a half to four points at least on the national ballot. Because New York, California, Illinois, they'll run up the vote in those states.

But the Electoral College, of course, will be different. All right. So you have three reasons why you're voting for Trump, they are?

Well how Largely put, domestic, foreign and cultural. The domestic policies primarily the border and the economy, but there, of course, are others. The foreign policy is his belief in peace through strength. And the Biden and Harris obviously don't believe that. They believe American power is a shameful relic.

Um and so the The world is in turmoil because America has stepped back from its leadership, and everybody looks at America now as weak, and our allies. Are worried and our adversaries are encouraged. And then finally, the cultural issues. I mean, everything from this transgender ideology to the use of the courts. uh for political purposes.

These I think are Mm-hmm. Completely changing the nature of our country. I mean, again, the details, the idea of ending the Senate filibuster, which is not in the Constitution, of course, but which has served the nation well because it requires Some kind of a consensus in the Senate to get something done. You the the idea of uh enlarging the Supreme Court so that the Democrats can pack it or to attack the Supreme Court to undermine it. You know, th they'll go back to uh uh adding states.

Puerto Rico, perhaps, others DC to give themselves more Senate seats.

So there's all of this going on that I lump into a kind of cultural thing that is being used to divide the American public and to try to take power and keep power. Don't forget, 12 states. We're trying to ban Donald Trump from the ballot this year. Supreme Court stopped that. But just think about that.

12 states did not even want to give voters a choice. I know. They wanted to pick the Republican candidate. It's shameless and it's endless. And that's why I think it's very important that Donald Trump win this election.

And lastly, I disregard, because it is the most famous city, even though we're from New York and we're in the states where we were a national show. You say Mayor Adams is hanging in there because they are unable to deliver the knockout blow. The indictment, as damning as some of it sounds, not all of it, he's still standing. He's not going anywhere. Yeah, that's And look, the feds have been a lot of the same.

suggested more charges are coming. The round And I think it's a very unstable situation. I mean, the mayor has been indicted and he remains in office. The people who have he has pushed out, most oh, except with it one exception, they were not indicted. They're they they're they're Subjects of investigations, but he pushed them out because of those investigations, and yet he was indicted and he stands.

Look, if there are more charges, I think it's, you know, say good night. On the other hand, I think what he should be doing, I think if he's going to fight these things only through his lawyer, that's a mistake. I think he needs to talk to the public about this. I know his lawyer wouldn't like that, but he needs to address these charges, I think, in specific ways. Although even if it's j that's what he's going to do in court at some point, at a trial, but I think he needs to talk to the public about these charges and make the case.

For why he should stay. I mean, one of the things is, yeah, one of the things is going to get anything done. I mean, it's effectively over. Using straw, like Americans have foreign money, supply his campaign with money. That's one of the accusations.

Bill Jones represents some other firm in Turkey or individuals. You can't do that. But I understand that. Other things, it looks like a gray area that might be done regularly, and you just wonder the fact that he's center left instead of way left. Is that really the problem?

Is that really what got him in trouble?

So I'm not going to bad for him. I don't know him too well, but I know the other guy was so much worse. We're missing billions of dollars, and he sits there. Without a job, working out every day, sleeping, who knows? But no one indicted him.

Right. Yeah. And the U.S. attorney investigated him, and their answer was. Was that he probably broke the law, but he had the advice of lawyers and he didn't put any of the money in his pocket.

I mean So I don't know. I mean, are are are did Adams put money in his pocket? I mean, the the being upgraded on airline flights, is that really a federal crime now? Because ev ha as many people have said, have you ever seen a congressman sitting in coach? You know, they're all upgraded.

They're all you go into restaurants with a congressman, you know. They're gonna eat for free. I mean, w so what is the point here of this of this probe? I think that the the feds had some interesting Significant charges in there, but overall, it's not really persuasive that it's important enough to bring down the mayor of the largest city in the country. I hear you.

Michael Goodwin, thanks so much. My pleasure. Thank you, Brian. All right, he's voting for Trump. He gave you his reasons: 1-866-408-7669.

I see you in Virginia. I see you up there in Michigan. We'll get to your calls when we come back. Brian, kill me, Joe. Politics, current events, and news that affects you.

Brian's got a lot more to say. Stay with Brian Kilmead. The more you listen, the more you'll know. It's Brian Killmead. He was the inspiration for the mute button.

Host of One Nation and co-host of Boxer Friends, Brian Killmead. Brian. Yes. Thank you for coming on the show. Do you mean that?

We all know you really have nowhere else to go. I have nowhere else to go. It's a Friday. What am I going to do? I know.

Just wait for Monday. Yeah, you just drive out Long Island. What else would I do? Wait for traffic to build up and then dissipate. And then I go home and wear the same outfit till Sunday night, then quickly change.

Right, thank you. I thought it was a fun show. You didn't watch, you were with me. I was with you in person on Friday night because a little behind the scenes thing they tape on Fridays. But yeah, so it's always fun, though.

Yeah, I did the Italian, I got the Italian Tribune Publishers Award. Yes. And who has received that award prior to you? Because that's very impressive as well. Yes.

They say Frank Snatcher, Joe DiMaggio, Phil Rosuto, Tony Bennett, Joe Pecci. Yeah. So pretty cool. Awesome. Hey, Todd, you're in Michigan.

Todd, what's on your mind?

Okay, it's in reference to Ukraine. Uh I don't want any US troops fighting over there in Ukraine. They're not. But it we've led and died for Europe in World War I, World War two and the Cold War. And Europe is more and more socialist, marching marching to more communism.

They don't have a Bill of Rights or Constitution for their citizenry. Um, I want European troops to fight it, and that's what I'd like to hear you say: that they're Brits and North. Yeah, just let these guys want any help, they don't want the North Koreans, the South Koreans, they don't want Americans, they just want to be able to fight with weapons that they're more than happy to pay with eventually, but right now they're in a fight for their survival. They can fight, Todd. They're not asked for anything.

And then, when we give them weapons, let them use them how they see fit. We shouldn't tell them. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead. The people of North Carolina are still reeling from Hurricane Helene just 17 days later, and we are not going to forget.

93 people died in that storm in North Carolina. Still, to this day, 100,000 people don't even have access to running water. You still have 11,000 people without any electricity. And get this: storm debris, there's so much of it. There's enough debris to fill the entire state building nearly eight times.

The bridges that need to be replaced, that's 100, maybe more as I do more stress tests. Estimated damage, $250 billion, that number likely to go up. And then the rainfall totals east of the Mississippi from that storm alone: 40 trillion gallons, which is enough to fill 60 million Olympic-sized swimmers. important. Wow.

So that's a little about what's going on here with this with the whole hurricane and where we go from here. And I'll tell you, not many people are people are forgetting and the President where was the President this weekend? He was in Florida, and there's nothing wrong with going to Florida. It's been hit twice. But North Carolina, getting to those spots, is going to be extremely hard to do.

People would understand if he had to get into a helicopter. That's what he should have done. And by the way, it's not politically, it's politically advantageous for you to do it, even though you're not technically running for office. Jerry Willis is a Fox Business reporter, host of the Real Tough Women on Fox Nation, and host of the Fearless and Proud podcast. And Jerry, also, you're from that area in North Carolina.

In a big way, for seven generations. Here's how our family got our property there. They served in the American Revolutionary War and they were land-granted.

Okay, so I'm familiar with this area. I know what it's like. I know the kind of prejudice that exists from the elites in Washington towards this area. And we've heard it over and over again. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the deplorables.

You heard David Axelrod talking about this. You know, it doesn't really matter if those people in the rural parts of the state can't vote. We don't care. We just want those people in Asheville who we know are liberals to vote. And they'll be able.

To do it, why because they're so much smarter and better educated than the people in the rural areas. Let me tell you, I have had enough of this. You know, this is prejudice. This is the same kind of prejudice that kept black kids out of white schools. It's the same thing.

Prejudice doesn't mean just color of your skin, it's an attitude. And their attitude is this: We're better than you, we should tell you what to do. And I think we've got to kick them out. This is too much.

Well, right now, what is the situation? Because it's always going to be hard to reach, right?

So, you need helicopters in the rescue situation, I think that's steadied. But what about the rebuild situation?

Well, we're a long way to go, right? My mother's little town, Spruce Pine, North Carolina, population 2,200 people. The water treatment plant is sitting under two feet of mud. You get on social media, and the areas around her, the roadways are still, you know, half on the mountain and half off the mountain. This is going to take a very long time.

Long time. We have to get serious about rebuilding. We have to get people in there who can help. And I know that J.D. Vance, possibly one of the most articulate human beings in the public eye today.

got a lot of Backlash over what he wrote for the Wall Street Journal, but it was absolutely accurate. Washington was slow in their response, and there's only one way to interpret it. We don't care. That's what they're saying.

Well, put it this way: we know they're slow in the response. He's getting a total pass by it. If George Bush went to the beach, he didn't go to the beach with Katrina. He stayed at Crawford maybe too long, sure. But he was on the beach that weekend.

She was campaigning all weekend. It came on Thursday, took the whole weekend off, got angry when people asked him that Monday, where were you? And then, where, you know, what about the rumor? We started with the rumor deflection a short time later. And as I said to people on the show, I was able to get in touch with the people I work with at Fort Liberty because I showed up there over a weekend and we did a bunch of features.

And they said to me, We were ready to go with a thousand people on Monday. And they said, I go, what are you waiting for? We have to be called. We have to be asked. We can't, part of the Constitution, I guess it's the 10th Amendment.

But the governor had to ask, had to ask the Defense Department, Defense Department had to send. Nothing came down. Dick texts him every day. Finally, he said, Thursday morning, he goes, It's getting ridiculous.

Now we got 2,000 people. We could go in there. Thursday afternoon, he gets the call. And then it was two days later. By the weekend, he felt like we've turned it around.

He said, it could have been done so much earlier. I said, would you be willing to say that? He goes, no, I'd be fired. Are you kidding? I can't say this.

These are two people telling me this. 93 people dead. I mean, the effect could have been so much better than it was. They really dropped the ball. I'm tired of hearing about Doritos.

Get serious. You want to be president of the United States? States act like the President of the United States. Look for this region. It typically gets brushed aside.

It happens over and over again. You know, you think of federal policy and its impacts on this region. NAFTA, a disaster. My own family lost jobs because of NAFTA, the opioid epidemic. The government was heavily involved in pushing the gas pedal for opioids.

A disaster for that region and for many regions. And now this hurricane, again, the federal government failing this area. Yeah, here's what J.D. Vance was saying in an interview with the New York Times: cut 50. The reason that there is a housing crisis is that not enough houses have been built.

And that we have 25 million people who shouldn't be here.

Well, I mean, this is the thing. I think it's both. I know you do. I don't think that many people who look into this agree with you, but about a third of the construction workforce in this country is Hispanic. Of those, a large proportion are undocumented.

So, how do you propose to build all the housing necessary that we need in this country? By removing all the people who are working in construction?

Well, I think it's a fair question because we know that back in the 1960s when we had very low levels of illegal immigration, Americans didn't buy houses, didn't build houses, but of course they did. And I'm being sarcastic, of course, in service of a point, Lulu, the assumption that because a large number of home builders now are using undocumented labor, that that's the only way to build homes, I think, again, the country is much bigger. The fundamental need is much bigger. I mean, I'm not arguing in favor of illegal immigration. I'm asking how you would deal with the knock-on effect of your proposal to remove millions of people who work in a critical part of the economy.

Well, I think that what you would do is you would take, let's say, for example, the 7 million prime age men who have dropped out of the labor force, and you have a smaller number of women, but still millions of women prime age who have dropped out of the labor force. You absolutely could re-engage folks into the American labor market. This is, I think, to work in construction? Of course, you could. Do you believe this?

So, I have no idea. You know what's really interesting when you talk to the elites, and particularly journalists, I'm sorry to say, they have so little experience with anything at all. And no humility to find out. No, no, no. And they know absolutely nothing about the economy.

Like, it's an embarrassment to understand money. You shouldn't understand money. Money doesn't matter. And we're paying the price for that now. Our entire economy lurches forwards and backwards, and no one is able to explain it to the American people.

Yeah, so in that there is a housing crisis now. And people would be willing. Yeah, listen, there are other jobs, and there's a situation where you can get work feasas. By the way, a lot of people work in construction I know, and uh they're Americans, they have this they take a lot of pride in it, and they know they were never out of work. Uh, number two, uh, by the way, the trades are booming in this country.

That's finally, remember five years ago, no one wanted to do it. We're already seeing a change. But did you see that private equity is now investing in those very specialties? They're buying up, snapping up some of these businesses and helping them grow. Why?

Because it's very lucrative. I did not know that. Could you expand on that? What do you mean?

So, what's going on is because these people with this incredible experience who know how to do things in our economy, whether it's building or whether it's plumbing or anything like that, skills, real skills. Private equity is investing in that and making a profit of that because they know it's a good place to be and they're growing that. Story in the Wall Street Journal last week.

Well, fantastic. Here's more from J.D. Vance in the New York Times interview, Cut 51. The unemployment rate does not count labor force participation dropouts. And again, this is one of the really deranged things that I think illegal immigration does to our society: it gets us in a mindset of saying, We can only build houses with illegal immigrants.

And we have 7 million, just men, not even women, just men who have completely dropped out of the labor force. People say, well, Americans won't do those jobs. Americans won't do those jobs for below-the-table wages. They won't do those jobs for non-living wages, but people will do those jobs. They will just do those jobs at certain wages.

Think about this from the perspective of an American company. I want them to go searching in their own country for their own citizens.

Sometimes people who may be struggling with addiction or trauma, get them re-engaged in American society. We cannot have an entire American business community that is giving up on American workers and then importing millions of illegal laborers. That is what we have, thanks to Kamala Harris's border policies. I think it's one of the biggest drivers of inequality. It's one of the biggest reasons why we have millions of people who have dropped out of the labor force.

Why try to re-engage an American citizen in a good job if you can just import somebody from Central America who's gonna work under the table? For poverty wages, it is a disgrace, and it has led to the evisceration of the American middle class. I think that's brilliant. That's a great explication of what's going on. And what's so fascinating about it?

This is the new Republican point of view. You know, this isn't the old Republican because you wouldn't criticize big companies, the big construction companies in the world, but he's willing to do it. And I think he's right on spot with this. These employment numbers are very difficult to understand. They're not able to count everybody.

There are big questions about whether they work or not. And I think he is able to put his finger on so many of the big problems that are going on and really call people to fire on this, right? It's just astonishing to me. how baked into our own mythology some of these some of these reporters are.

So if you look at right now, how this has something to do with the election, in August, the President had a twenty two point advantage on the economy.

Now it's up to twenty five. Surprise, surprise. And now they've been attacking Adam. We see some numbers go up, and we see the unemployment go down to 4.1. That's before the revision that's most likely going to come.

So why do you think that is that the Biden people still can't figure it out? Do you remember last summer, they put $40 million into selling Bidenomics? By September, the numbers went down in the approval rating, and they finally dumped it and eventually dumped Joe Biden. Because you know what you pay for bread. That's why.

Because you know what you pay for eggs. I mean, like, this is so close to people's pocketbooks and their lives and the health of their family. They understand it firsthand. Look, Vance and I are from the same part of the world. He's from Kentucky.

I'm from North Carolina. It's both Appalachian communities. He moved to Ohio for his family moved to Ohio for jobs. My family did the same. I had a slightly better outcome in some ways growing up than he did.

But. You know, people lost jobs in that region because of NAFTA. Federal policy, federal policy has to change, and we have to open our eyes to what's going on globally and find a way where the U.S. can do better. I mean, there's no question it's possible.

NBC trend poll says inflation in August, the president had a 9-point advantage, now it's 11%, even though inflation rate has gone up. People like you have explained to me that if it goes up to 9% and the next month it only goes up 2%, it didn't go below 9%. It didn't go to 7%. It built on the 9%. It doesn't go down.

That's the threshold. No one's happy with the threshold. You don't get a negative number. You're not hearing the federal government say that inflation came in at a negative number. It's not going down.

It's only percolating higher and higher. Will we ever get that negative number? I am not hopeful. I have to tell you, it's very difficult to do. I mean, what you'll have to have is a very deep recession to make that happen.

I don't think, and the government needs to spend. Spend less money, for goodness sakes. Where are you on the rate hike? On the radio? I think that you'll probably get 25 basis points.

They really don't know what to do. The most recent economic statistics coming out are a little more positive. It's back and forth. In fact, the Wall Street Journal today is saying, well, they need to be less data dependent. They have to depend on something, and they can't just make it up whole cloth.

There have to be numbers behind what they do, for goodness sakes. How do you feel about what the president's talking about in terms of tariffs and like to jolt the system and bring back manufacturing? This is fascinating. This is part of the new republicanism that they are talking about, that Trump has been talking about, that Vance is talking about, and this idea that we really have to protect American manufacturing, grow American manufacturing, and that's where it all starts. Because you have these components in our own rockets, our missiles of defense, only made in China.

And then you have the other chips in Taiwan, and we're watching over the weekend, we watch China basically encircle Taiwan. And have a war game against Taiwan because they wouldn't admit they were actually part of China. Listen to this. In Western North Carolina, where I am from, there are two quartz mines that produce. the cleanest, purest quartz on the planet.

It is essential to semiconductor production. That this course be mine quartz be mined. And it wasn't mined for several weeks while we went through this disaster with a hurricane. One of those mines has now reopened and they are owned by Europeans. Who is their biggest customer, do you think?

China. It's China. And the big question is: as they finally get back into production, are they going to be forced to give everything to China? Isn't this something we need to say, hey, no, this is an American thing. We need to own these mines.

Right, I mean, we have to have certain things for national security. We have to make some rules.

So they say that you are the system.

Now, here's a question, Jerry. If you go ahead and put tariffs on things, for example, how are we ever going to compete with the slave labor in China? Right now, they're paying these people $3 a week, and they say you better do it. What they do with the Uyghurs, you better do it. We're not going to do that.

We'll never be able to make a product as cheap, even though they're shipping it.

So how do we compete with that? We put a let's say a five hundred percent tariff on it, the President said, so they stop buying it? Or we look we look to make this stuff internally? We make better stuff. We make stuff you actually want to buy.

We don't make junk. And we protect our intellectual property. The only reason that the Chinese could have gotten as far as they did economically is because they would steal our secrets. Right. So we have to protect our intellectual property.

We have to make goods that are better than what they're making, which should not be too hard because they steal our ideas anyway. And that is the route back to manufacturing renaissance. Right. It'll be one of these things. You jolt the system, it's meant to intimidate.

And then have people protest it, and the President Trump, I think, if he wins, will say, hold on tight. This is a negotiation. There's so much to do. Yeah. Jerry Willis, thanks so much.

Fox Business Reporter, host of the Real Tough Women on Fox Nation and host of the Fearless and Proud podcast. Back in a moment, Jerry. Thank you. Thank you. Expanding your knowledge base.

It's the Brian Kill Meat Show. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. I'm man enough to be emotional in front of my wife. In front of my kids.

In front of my horse. I love women. I love women who support their families. Women who decide not to have families. Women who take charge.

And I'm man enough to help them win. The worst ad I've ever heard in my life of this cycle. Desperate to get men, they're rolling that out with a super PAC. For one, Kamala Harris. Tell me if you're a man.

Do you feel more comfortable voting for her after you heard that? Or are you now sure you will never vote for her as long as you are a true man? Answer at home. Let's find out if there's more to know. More to know.

Sponsored by Previgent. Previgent is the most recommended memory support brand by pharmacists. Here we go. A SpaceX Starship rocket successfully landed. Get this upright Sunday alongside a massive metal land tower as it was caught by two converging chopstick arms.

So picture a huge rocket going back into a holster and only one man could pull that off, Elon Musk. They said it's the fifth test flight for Starship, which stands nearly 400 feet tall and is composed of a super heavy booster and the Starship spacecraft. The system is central to founder Elon Musk hopes to eventually colonize Mars. SpaceX said the spacecraft also experienced a successful flight and splashed down precisely on target. This is pretty amazing.

I mean, as Eric told me this morning, it landed in the precise spot where it took off from. It just floated on down. Is there anyone else inventing anything? UFO drones are surveilling America's most sensitive military sites, and the Pentagon says it can't stop them. Fleets of dozens of mysterious UFO drones are surveilling America's sites.

This has got to be Virginia. We're talking about based in Nevada and Virginia. Navy's elite SEAL team training.

So this has got to stop. stop. This has got to be China. What do you mean you can't stop it? From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show.

Brian In Kill Mead. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Killmee Show. We come to you from Midtown Manhattan, heard around the country, around the world. We got some great news.

We're continuing to expand our network. We've had a great six months because everyone's working so, so hard here at Fox News to spread word about our show, Guy Benson's show, and Jimmy Phaler's show. But now we're going to be heard on WLNA, 14:20 a.m. in Peakskill, New York, WBNR, 12:60 a.m. in Beacon, New York, and WGHQ, 9:20 a.m.

in Kingston, New York, all live. The station slogans is the beacon. But in Peekskill, New York, and the surrounding area, I hope to see in person. Fortuitously for me, we have a show Sunday at 7 o'clock, History, Liberty, and Laughs on tour. I know you think that you heard me on radio, you see me on TV.

We have a lot more fun on the stage, and Fox Nation's co-sponsoring it. There's going to be specials for Fox Nation if you go, and they're going to stream it. But I'd love to see you in person VIP opportunities. Go to BrianKilme.com. I was just up there.

It's a beautiful area. It's at the Paramount.

So I hope to see everybody there. BriankillMe.com. Let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. But it was a Hezbollah drone attack that you mentioned last night that proved deadly. This morning, Defense Minister Johab Galan visited the army base where four soldiers were killed. Each one of them was just 19 years old.

Israel under attack, and while still on the attack themselves, but help is on the way. The new American missile system all is coming ashore with an eye towards Iran with 100 American operators of the FAAD missile system. Number two. He just says things over and over and over. Often they're lies, but yet people start to believe them.

And he's good at this, at the power of repetition. What are we all as members of the media? How should we be approaching this? They're three weeks to go. This is a dangerous paradigm.

Insanely unhinged, desperate network media throwing wild, unfounded accusations at Trump. You must hear it to be believing it. Number one. Yeah, and it's working. The campaign has raised a billion dollars.

Oh my god. How are you not winning by a lance night? Ha ha. That's a question I scream into my pillow every morning. 22 days in counting.

Down is where the Harris numbers are heading in a razor-thin election. How an internal falling out between Biden and Harris teams could be their undoing and already doing damage. Word is that Biden is miffed that he's not asked to do more. Biden is my campaign trail. She is upset, or her team is upset, that anybody who jumped from the White House to her team is looked at as traitors.

She also, he has also counter-programmed some of her live events with him walking into the media room and contradicted her when he said Governor DeSantis is doing a great job, even though she's got mad at him for playing politics and not calling her back. When in truth is, she's not in the chain of command during hurricanes.

So, Congressman John James joins us now in another tough battle to keep his Michigan seat in the 10th District, Republican, West Point grad. John James walked. Welcome back to the show. Hey, thanks for having me back on, Brian.

So, what is the state of the race in Michigan? You know, about a month ago, it looks like Michigan and Wisconsin were pulling away from Republicans.

Now, what's the story?

Well, it's tight. It's tight in my district. It's tight in the state of Michigan. But I'm running against an opponent in the number one manufacturing district in the nation, Michigan's tenth congressional district, who says that automotive is a dying industry. And if he and Kamala Harris have their way, they'll continue to send our jobs overseas.

And right now in Warren, Michigan, the third largest city in the state of Michigan. We have 2,400 jobs that are being laid off. And right up the street in Sterling Heights, the fourth largest city in Michigan, overflow production is not going down the street to Warren, staying in Macomb County, staying in Michigan, staying in America. They're shipping those jobs to Saltillo, Mexico. This is 100% because of the wrong-headed policies coming from this administration that will force you to buy EVs, that will force you to depend on Chinese foreign labor and also slave labor when they get their critical minerals.

And Kamala Harris and Carl Marlingwell allowed them to keep doing this. But it's a tight race. Democrats are trying to buy this seat, and we can't let them.

So let me ask you, is that the is that the USMCA that allows countries companies to go to Mexico and Canada without through traditional barriers that would stop a country that wasn't in this trade agreement? No, it's because of failures of leadership. Under President Trump, our jobs were growing. Under President Trump, people knew that they had to build here, they had to make things here. And everybody, black, white, gay, straight, male, female, conservative and liberal experienced increased buying power.

But right now, we're paying more for gas and groceries in our healthcare. And the only thing that's decreasing in cost is fentanyl. I was talking to some law enforcement officers a little while ago, and because of the wide open border under border failed borders are Kamala Harris, not only do we have 10 million illegals that have flooded in, not only do we have 100,000 lost children under her administration, but we have tons and tons of fentanyl that's poisoning our communities all across the country with crime also increasing. This is 100% her fault. And not only we're seeing illegals and fentanyl come in and our jobs leaving because they're literally failing on everything.

And when she got the opportunity to separate herself from these harmful policies, she was asked in the view last week. She said she couldn't think of anything. Not the open border, not the unconditional surrender in Afghanistan that left the Taliban with $85 billion worth. of U.S. military equipment, not failing to enforce sanctions on Iran that have funded their nuclear program and attacks on our allies, Israel.

These failed policies go all the way from EVs to our foreign policy, and it's making us weaker at home and abroad. And we have to make sure that we take back the House, we take the Senate, and we put Donald J. Trump back in the White House.

So, John, I'm talking to Congressman John James, great successful businessman, veteran, fought in the war, went to West Point. Congressman. There's no doubt about it. For some reason, and I think the reason is obvious to me, but I don't live it. I just watch it and analyze it.

That is more black men are coming to the Trump camp than ever before, than we've seen in modern American history. Romney, McCain, George W. Bush didn't touch this, but they are coming. And it's upsetting a lot of people on the left, including James Clyburn. Listen to him.

This is the senior congressman and maybe the senior most respected person on the Democratic side. Cut eight.

Now, you know, I'm the ninth African American to serve in Congress from South Carolina. That means there were eight before me. The problem is There were ninety five years. between number eight and number nine. and the policies that they're 95 years that kept us out of government.

out of this economy. It's called Jim Crow. And if you look at Project 2025, It will be. Jim Crow 2.0 And I am amazed at the number of people who actually are interested in contrasting that. And I think that we had a lot of success up in Michigan being able to explain that.

Your thoughts about his analogy.

Well, it's people like this on the left who are trying to guilt us into saying something different than our eyes are seeing. When we step out in our neighborhoods and we see in too many places around black America, and we see run down buildings, we see schools that are failing, we see our young men overwhelmingly that are going to the graveyards or into prisons. And we see, after years and years and years, with these liberal talking heads telling us not to believe our eyes, and this is what we're left with. Obama came with a message of hope, but hope alone isn't a strategy.

Now our streets are ripe with crime. Our kids are reading below grade level all over the country. And Democrats are giving illegals more help in four days than black people and all Americans have gotten in 400 years. We were sold on hope, and now the world's on fire. Our borders are wide open, and Americans are going into debt to pay for their gas and groceries.

People are standing up and saying that we're not taking your line of garbage anymore. We expect better from our government. We expect better from our elected leaders. And all Kamala Harris can come up with is failed policies where she cannot, she literally said her own words, she can't think of anything different she would do. But then you have Trump rolling out his platinum plan four years ago.

And Kamala Harris just comes out last week talking about some knockoff platinum plan for African-American men. She's literally the sitting vice president. She's literally the president of the Senate. Every single thing she's campaigning on, she has the power to do and did not do it, or does not have the power to do and is failing.

So she owns this administration. It's her administration. She has failed black men and all Americans, and she has to pay the consequences. And she will not get hired.

Well, there's a degree of panic because the numbers must be really strong. And there was a time, John James, when we talked about you, we talked about Harold Ford, Colonel Alan West. These are even though Harold Ford's a Democrat, just people that just think about America first, not the color of their skin. That's what I thought we were getting to into the George Floyd riot era. And then listen to Barack Obama come out and lecture black men, cut six.

You're thinking about sitting up or even supporting somebody? Oh Has a history? A denigrated you? Because you can't Excellent. a sign of spring because That's what Eight Americans?

Put women down? That's not acceptable. He went on for about five minutes. Just yelling at black men, they just wake up and start voting for black women. I have news for you.

She's doing better with black men than Joe Biden was. Joe Biden was losing him.

So, what are they? Were they anti-white men? What is his basis of thinking this is a sexist ploy?

Well uh it's like most things that come from extreme liberals, it's not based in reality. And so it's difficult for conservatives to understand it. Everybody who is voting based on reason and logic in the economy and national security is already voting for us. And so we have to recognize that there are some people out there who are literally looking at the future of this nation and saying, you know, it's time for a woman. They're not taking a look at her policies that are making your medicine more expensive.

They're not taking a look at their policies that are sending your jobs overseas. They're not looking at her policies. We're talking about black people.

Well, how about the enslavement of black people used in the critical mineral mining in Africa that they're bringing back? How about the Uyghur slave labor that's used because we're not doing that stuff here? How about policies that will bring our jobs back home? These are people who live on their celebrity friends' yachts while too many people back in the hood are struggling to make ends meet. I'm here for people who've been struggling.

I've been tremendously, tremendously blessed in my life, and I believe it is my duty as an American, as a Christian, as a father, to give back to a country that has given me so much. There are people out there who are living a reality that President Obama does not know. And frankly, it's this. Finger wagging, this condescending tone that is going to actually push people, all people of all races, but particularly black men, who have been used and discarded for decades, back to a party that is working for their vote. The Republican Party is working for their vote.

And we're going to continue to do it because we believe. That everybody, regardless of race, color, and creed, should be given a chance at opportunity and be giving a chance to success and not being used because of the color of their skin like Democrats are doing. Congressman John James is our guest, and John is going and facing a Democrat, Carl Moringa. And right now, the Cook Report says it's leaning Republican, but it's just going to be a tough fight in Michigan. What do you think about your governor with those antics with that TikToker, feeding her as if she was a priest, giving her the hoax, only using chips and making funny faces into the camera?

Huge backlash among Catholics, a protest in front of the governor's mansion. Your thoughts? Yeah, I frankly, I saw it, and I moved on to more important things, like the fact that we're losing jobs in Warren. People don't care about what the governor is doing with Dorito chips with her liberal friends in New York. They care most about the fact that their liberal policies are separating parents from knowing what's going on with their children in schools in Rochester Hills.

What people are most concerned about, there was just a grisly murder in our streets right in the 10th Congressional District, in one of the safest cities in America. And when crime is up, people think it's in other countries and other cities. It's not. It's in our own neighborhoods. But the defund the police movement on the left is turning to the disrespect the police.

And now the bad guys feel emboldened. And we need to go back to a time where the good guys feel safe. And that's what President Trump promises. That's what I promise, getting back to an America where you could feel safe and get ahead. And that's what we're focused on here.

All right. Thanks so much. Congressman John James, go back to campaigning. It's going to be a sprint to the finish the last three weeks. Thanks a lot.

If you want to learn more, please go to johnjamesmi.com. Thanks a lot, Brian. You got it. 1866. 408-7669.

When we come back, how John Fetterman is making more and more sense. You listen to the Brian Kilmeat Show. Hear the ins and outs of the 2024 election right here. The Brian Kill Meet Show. Breaking news, unique opinions.

Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. A news poll shows that since 2016, support by black voters for Democratic candidates has dropped from 92% to 78%. Oh, don't make this our fault. 78% is still a lot. For context, 78% of black people is enough to make white liberals leave the county.

Be grateful. The only other people to get 78% of the black vote was the North and Kendrick Lamar. Also, if it wasn't for black voters, y'all wouldn't even be a party anymore. You'd be the Democratic small get-together.

Well, there you go. Michael Che having a good time on SNL, but that is one of the stories, and it's devastating to go from 90-something percent to 70-something percent. Not me cheerleading or not. It's just a fact, and it's creating panic to the point where you're rolling out Barack Obama to yell at black men. That wouldn't.

If anybody, you know, we tried that with Governor Cuomo yelling at people in New York to go get a vaccine, and President Biden is running out of patience with you.

Now, all of a sudden, you get you look up and you see Barack Obama telling you, you black men don't like black women, you better straighten out your act. Really? Maybe because we don't like her policies, we have no idea what she stands for. We don't like the last four years of Joe Biden. We're sick of him.

We're less sick of her. And now you're saying it's because I have a gender issue? You got to be kidding. Here's what Rachel Bade picked out on Politico this weekend: Cut 16. We've been talking about women this entire election, how they're running away from Trump, childless cat lady comments, abortion, just Trump's temperament in general.

But in the final weeks of this election, we are really starting to see that Donald Trump has been very successful with turning out men, or at least getting them excited to vote for him, and not just conservative men. Men who consider themselves to be pro-abortion, right?

Socially liberal men, black men, Latino men. And he went on and he said, Yeah, a lot of them have the are just are outraged about this whole transgenderism, women playing in men's sports, girls playing in bo uh boys playing in boy girls' sports, all this crazy stuff. About not telling your parents and doing things like that. Here's a little of John Fetterman on what Democrats are missing when it comes to Elon Musk and the Trump campaign, CUP 23. Trump has now made it so competitive, and I want people to understand how popular he is in Pennsylvania.

And one thing, you know, honestly, that really does have me concerned more than the polls. The polls is what I expected. But You know, now he's using, and Musk is willing to actually show up at these kinds of rallies. And I witnessed that in Butler County a couple days ago. You know, Musk is.

Most endorsements don't count for much in this business, but Musk is incredibly popular, and he has an appeal to a demographic that Democrats have been struggling with. And to some people, that they see him as that's Tony Stark. He's the world's richest man, and he's undeniably a brilliant guy.

So I think that that is a situation for Democrats we would have to acknowledge that. You did great at it. And keep in mind, he's the guy who's the greenest guy. He's the guy putting people into space and at the electric cars, which, by the way, he financed himself and lets him put his own charging stations himself. And they told him to go take a walk.

And Trump said, come my way. The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead. Let's not forget over the past three and a half years, the White House has gone to great pains to make sure that it is Biden-Harris in all of these big, what they would say, policy accomplishments. And now, all of a sudden, she wants to run away from it, but also stay with it because her positions in the U.S.

Senate and her positions on the campaign trail herself as a candidate during the 2020 presidential cycle were so far left, she didn't get a single Democratic vote in the primary because she had to drop out. Jackie Heinrich, you join us now, and just coming off Katie Pavlich's comments about the history of Kamala Harris before she became the vice president, and then they won the election, and she had basically very low approval rates, up to about 32 percent before she got the nomination, and then it rocketed up.

Now it seems to be plateauing, and I sense a degree of panic. But now we're seeing this pre-election friction. Can you describe what you found out?

Well Brian, I mean just teaching. Off what Katie Pavlich said, I think that they're really, you know, this campaign is between a rock and a hard place because they have created this new messaging to say that Harris is a new way forward, and yet she can't, you know, name a single thing that she would do differently than the president. That's partly because you can't stray too far from the guy who you want to take credit for all the things that did work. But then also, she doesn't really have any policies of her own that are well shaped. I mean, that the sort of more liberal or more moderate positions that she has taken on are Biden's, and she can't really explain her thoughts about them.

In terms of the conflict between the campaign and the White House teams, Biden's been trying to give Harris opportunities to basically like cosplay president, allowing her to ask questions in FEMA briefings and demonstrate leadership, meet separately with Bibi Nanyahu, or, you know, and basically. Give remarks on her own conversations and show that she has, you know. the ability to to appear presidential because people can see her in that light. And then they're getting upset when Harris decides to campaign rather than act like vice president. And it all came to a head during the hurricane.

You recall, she stayed on the campaign trail last week while Milton was bearing down the coast of Florida. Biden canceled his travel, foreign travel, and she got into this public spat with Ron DeSantis, and the White House was very frustrated. People in Biden's orbit were very frustrated that she chose to pick a fight with the Florida governor right as his state's about to be pummeled. And then Biden's not going to say, Yeah, yeah, Ron DeSantis, pick up my vice president's calls. He's leader enough to know that that's not what you do in a crisis moment for anybody, including the people of that state.

They don't want to see their state, local, and federal people in a fight. They want to know that things are working smoothly and they're going to get the help that they need.

So they're very frustrated by that. And Axios is a similar report. The relationship between Harris' team and Joe Biden's team has been increasingly fraught in the final weeks. Ten people familiar with the situation tell Axios several Biden aides have joined Harris's campaign, but some feel like they've been. Been labeled as disloyal by Biden's team for leaving or even considering it.

Now, that's interesting because these people, I thought it was interesting from my perspective and trying to get answers that I'm seeing Ian Sams, who was telling me how great Biden was, now is telling me Harris is the next coming. Um, okay, really?

So, what am I supposed to believe from you? All these surrogates just switch teams right away.

Well, you recall Ian Sams actually used to work for Harris before he was with Biden.

So they have a relationship that goes back some time. But I think we'll. I think it might be well, Cedric Richmond is is a Biden person and they kind of need him to be a messenger, you know, for the constituencies that Harris is trying to reach out to. But, you know, more broadly, I think that You've seen in the beginning when people dropped, or when Biden dropped and they threw this team together, it's like a Frankenstein operation because they have taken what was Joe Biden's campaign, handed it over to Kamala Harris, and then tried to plug in her people who know her sort of personality, her messages, what works for her, what doesn't, and try to increase that. the presence of that within the operation.

So like for us, it used to be that you could reach out to the campaign and get a statement after talking to two people.

Now you got to run it up the chain to like 30 different folks because some people are from Biden's orbit, some are from the Obama world, some are from old Harris team, some are from Harris's official side that went over to the campaign. And I don't think that this would have ended up this way if she had a longer race, but because it all came together in just a few months, this is what they're stuck with. Yeah, so we'll see what happens because I thought this Jackie would definitely take place after. Win or lose in November. And if they lost, it's going to be just going to be a soap opera.

But if they had won, you know, maybe the story really went on behind the scenes would come out. I didn't foresee this happening in October. And this is going to be a week that's going to be fraught with angst because this is the week that she had a weekend to come up with things that she would do different than Joe Biden and maybe admitting things that haven't worked, which is only going to increase the friction with Jill and Joe and the loyalists that are left. I think what's most telling is that you have some people in the White House who are not actively jockeying for jobs in the next administration. That says that they are not so certain that she's going to win or that they would be welcome in her administration if she does.

And so I think that the big happy family thing is a little bit of a tall tale because just because those people exist. When you talk to people at the White House, it's like, what are you doing? Oh, I'm looking at jobs. I'm talking to such and such a company. Who knows what's going to happen?

And that's pretty telling.

So KJP, I evidently, since They say Anita Dunn left has locked out Admiral Kirby from doing these briefings, which evidently he loves to do. And obviously, when it comes to military, she has no idea what's going on, and he's got 40 years of experience. What could you tell me about that? That directly affects you. It does.

This is not a new dynamic. You recall about a year ago, there was an effort within the administration to basically force Corine's exit and place her with Emily's list. She didn't, you know, bite at it, and she's sort of dug in her heels and stayed in the press secretary role. But the truth of the matter is, she's not the best messenger for Biden and hasn't been for a long time, especially on issues of foreign policy. This is Kirby's wheelhouse.

He was in the State Department. He was Pentagon spokesman. He knows this stuff in and out. And in the past, when there has been, especially news heating up in the Middle East, reporters have been pushing to get Kirby to the podium. Corrine doesn't like to share the podium.

That's pretty well known at this point. And there has been reporting over the past year or so pointing out that she calls on people for Kirby rather than letting him call on his own people. She just sort of wants to maintain the ownership of that job because it is a historic first for it to be hers. She doesn't want to share it with him. But Since Anita Don left, There has not been someone that the press could go to to get Kirby to the podium to sort of muscle through any resistance from Corrine.

That decision now falls to Ben Labolt, who is much closer with Karine. And so over the since Biden dropped and since Anita left, you do see the drop off in times that we get to talk to Kirby from the podium, even on days where Corrine is not briefing, but Kirby holds a gaggle, remote audio only. We should have that at the podium, but Someone doesn't let it happen. It's so petty. It's so petty at this point, too.

I mean, to think you're giving way not to a cohort, to a military expert. And believe me, when Israel hits back against Iran, I don't want to hear from KJP. I want to hear from Admiral Kirby. What did they use? What kind of rockets did they use?

What kind of missile defense system work? Was the Thad engaged? Was the David Sling engaged? You want someone who knows, or at least is going to spin successfully, and that's Admiral Kirby. Although I find him disappointing because I know he knows better with a lot of things that he's saying, but it's just maybe the nature of his position.

Lastly, I know you have a sense of what's going on in Pennsylvania. Where do you think it's heading, not only for the President, but for Dave McCormick and Casey?

Well For the presidency, I think that there's a lot of anxiety they're going to lose Pennsylvania. And the momentum is certainly moving in Trump's direction, I think, across the board. I think that's why you're seeing Harris now agree to do a number of sit-down interviews that she had resisted for a long time because they're looking at the internals and saying, yikes, things are not so good. And so I think that could have impacts down ballot for sure. Bob Casey, John Tester, and Sherrod Brown are sort of the three Dems that are looking like really, really big question marks.

And I'm not so sure that there's much that she can do in Pennsylvania at this point to turn things around other than deploy people like Barack Obama, because it's the working class voters, it's the union workers, it's, you know. The middle class, basically, who is concerned about the economy. And when you're running a campaign that is so little about the economy, and your questions or your answers rather on what you do differently don't satisfy people, I don't know how she can pull that out and turn that around with 25 days left. Absolutely. And this is where Joe Biden might have been a benefit or done better because of his history there.

And I was talking to Dave McCormick today before our interview actually started, and he was saying it's been a real benefit from him when Biden dropped out in Pennsylvania. Do you feel the same way? Do you think there's a reason? Do you think there's some substantial reason for that? I do.

I think that they're losing unions because you look at the IAFF, the International Association of Firefighters. They were like one of the first unions out the gate to endorse Joe Biden in 2020. They did not endorse a candidate this cycle. That is really big news. It's indicative of sort of where the split is among these union people and how their leadership can't come down and say this is who we're endorsing.

Happened also with the Teamsters. Joe Biden had union workers in his corner. He's been, you know, he likes to say, one of the most pro-union presidents in history. Harris has not prioritized those votes, those voters. She's hoping that the youth vote, the people of color, sort of messaging to those constituencies will make up the difference.

But union workers are a very reliable voting block.

So time will tell. And I guess the results will show whether this gamble works out for her or not. But it's a big concern. I know people talk about crowds. I looked at that crowd in California, saw that huge crowd in Butler, and see what he's getting online when he sits down with Andrew Schultz and likely he's going to get with Joe Rogan.

If you go inside the Harris camp, that's got to be intimidating. I mean, I can't believe the size of the crowds.

Well, when you've got Trump going to Coachella, that's Trump trolling Harris, being like, look, I'm in California.

So they're obviously feeling pretty good. And I think that we can agree that the momentum right now is with Trump. Harris had her moment. The honeymoon looks like it's over. And then what she said and did in the weeks after didn't satisfy people.

There's been cycle after cycle of questions outstanding that she needs to answer about who she is, what her policies are, what she would do as president. And given the opportunity, she hasn't successfully delivered any answers.

So, you know, it's a margin-bearer race. They still think it's possible that she wins, but it's going to be a dogfight till the end. You're doing a great job. It's not an easy job that you do every day. Every question, you know, they disdained before you even open up your mouth, and you're unflappable.

Jackie, thanks so much. Thank you. Appreciate it. Jackie Heinrich coming to us from the White House. Appreciate it.

Before we go, I just want you to hear.

So you heard about the places he's going. He's getting huge crowds at Nassau Coliseum. He goes to a, he's going to be at Madison Square Garden October 27th. Then he goes to Coachella around Riverside, California, in a kind of Inland Empire area of Southern California, gets an unbelievable crowd, at least 50,000, according to the sheriff. And then Lonnie Chend, who's out in California, said this, CUT 19.

He is from the Hoover Institute, really smart guy. We are seeing coalescence amongst Republican voters, and I think that the self-identified block of Republicans who are, quote, non-MAGA is definitely decreasing. I think there's a few reasons for that. First of all, I do think that there is a recognition amongst the issue that Republicans care most about, which is immigration. I mean, if you look at this poll, every poll that we see, it is immigration.

There's a lot of contrast on that issue. And I think Trump has successfully. Driven contrast on that issue. And those voters are coming home because of immigration. I would also say that there's a positive view, I mean, to your point, about his administration's policies on the other issue they care about, which is cost of living.

And so that contrast on issues is quite significant. That is coalescing Republicans. And I think that is the single reason why his numbers have improved significantly over these last several weeks. I think it's a pretty good point. And I like a guy like that because he'll quote Trump out, but he doesn't hate him.

You know, he doesn't have anything against him. He ran for office himself. Hoover Institute is extremely valued. He used to work for Mitt Romney, but he keeps his, you know, it's almost like General Keene when it comes to the military. I don't care who the president is.

I know what's I want to do what's good for the country. He's like, well, I'm a Republican, but. If the Democrat was making more sense, I'd say it. But he also would say if Donald Trump wasn't making any sense, he'd say it.

So I watch him on the Sunday shows.

So I wanted you to share that. He also comes on with us. We'll try to get him again. When we come back, we'll wrap up the hour. He listened to the Brian Kill Me show.

Don't move. Want even more, Brian? Download the podcast at BrianKillmeadShow.com every episode. Exclusive interviews on demand. More of Killmead coming up.

Yeah. The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead. There's two types of votes: you're voting for Donald Trump, or you're voting against him because you hate his guts, and you vote for a potato or a head of lettuce or anything. That's my dad.

It doesn't matter who's running. He hates Trump so much, he'd vote for whatever you put up there. But Kamala Harris can't even answer the easiest questions of all time. She never gives a straight answer. She doesn't seem to be able to put coherent thoughts together.

It's actually scary for me to think about what she'd be on the international stage.

So that's all I'm saying. That's what's pushed me to the point age. I am so sick of being gaslighted like she's some great candidate. There is a reason when she ran for president last time, she didn't get one vote. She dropped out before the primaries.

There's a reason they waited the Democrats till after Biden got the nomination because she wouldn't have gotten it again. She is the worst presidential candidate in the history of American politics. Honestly, now, if you still want to vote for her because you hate Trump that much and you can't stand him, you think he's all this evil, do it. But stop the gaslighting, please. The footage is there.

She can't answer simple questions. If you have any issues with the last four years, that's her. And she, even though she's saying she's the change candidate, she literally then will go on interviews and be like, yep, same thing. I can't think of one thing different. It's like I'm taking crazy pills.

And Dave Porternoy speaks much like Joe Rogan, not really somebody you know for a Republican or Democrat. He's leaning more right because he's not insane. He's not for opening up the border, letting 8 million people in. He's not for transgender games. What we're dealing with now, some of the craziness we've seen with the self-hate when it comes to the country.

People are done with it. They see the terrible foreign policy, see the wars everywhere, and they go, wait, that's not even close. And then she rolls out, and it's not Barack Obama's eloquence or Bill Clinton's. Bill Quinton's I guess one-on-one skills in many ways. We're both seeing there were acting as surrogates, but he speaks for a lot of people.

Of course, he's the CEO of Barstool. I'm sure people are going to be mad at him. I don't think so. He's also pro-business. And he also took some great action.

So, took some action when the pandemic hit. And so, the ridiculous restrictions with the pandemic. He almost moved out of New York, and I think he eventually did, got his company back, he's doing well. This is going to show you how bad it is. They're actually having fun with Kamala Harris and having fun with Joe Biden's intellect, which is gone, and Tim Waltz.

Cut 47. The Tim Walsh, okay, something that you keep in your glove apartment. This is right in my wheelhouse, in my glove box. I got hot hands, napkins from Runza, and gotta have tumbs in case I eat something spicy like tomato. If you say so, show me some white nonsense.

Pretty funny. Steve Harvey having a good time. I think the cold open was good, but of course, they didn't go over the top with Kamala until, of course, EFG does, in fact, lose. Look. Three weeks ago, people were saying, How could Trump have blown it?

He should have adjusted to buy got away from Biden quicker.

Now, most people are saying what a great week he had. They're trying to make some of the statements seem extreme and unacceptable as numbers keep going up because I think that most of the media has been marginalized. They're calling it as they see it. They're not waiting for someone else to analyze it. It's like watching a game and turning off the play-by-play.

I can figure it out myself. I've seen enough football. Even if I'm not Tom Brady, you listen to Brian Kilmey Show.
