Donald Trump Joins Brian to discuss early voting and top priorities if re-elected

From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Killmead. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kill Me Show.

So glad you're here. Rich Lowry at the bottom of the hour from the National Review. Kayleigh McInanty is right here in our studio. Overseas, we got our Secretary of State going to Saudi Arabia. We have our I guess Current president, probably apologizing to Kamala Harris for his antics yesterday in New Hampshire.

And before we get to Kaylee, let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. Can you assure the Israelis this was not an intentional leak by the administration?

Well, first of all, Jen, you know that I take handling of classified information very, very seriously. We remain committed to supporting each other and being as transparent as possible. And I'll leave it at that. Yeah, we'll leave it at that. Never answers a question, but he's more politician than general.

That is Secretary of Defense Austin. Leaks satellite images on Telegram. While Pentagon says there are no suspects so far, and the Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin didn't rule out the possibility of an intentional leak by the administration. This as Israel prepares to pay back Iran for their rocket attack a month ago. Number two.

You know the main thing to me is you gotta vote. You gotta vote. A voting early, I guess, would be good, but you know, people have different feelings about it. But the main thing is you gotta get out, you gotta vote. And I'll be voting early.

I'll be voting early. Wow, that's probably just a huge change. I talked to President Trump for about a half hour. You're going to get all of it next hour while Harris seems to fall apart on NBC as she struggles to define and defend her programs and policies while taking the rest of the day off. You'll hear my full Trump interview today.

Number one. I think he's had some very strong issues in swing states doing the auto workers in Michigan, fracking in Pennsylvania, and no tax on tips in Nevada. I think there's been a clever campaign in all those respects. And so I think he's got the edge. Yup, 13 days and counting.

And Mark Penn, a Democratic pollster, says this on election day, it looks pretty good right now for the president. He's winning, but he hasn't won. VP Harris, light schedule.

Meanwhile, Biden rages and hurts Harris again. I don't even know if it's intentional or he's just losing it more than ever. And I don't think the governor's on. I don't even think he's got a staff with him. Kaylee McAnene, co-host of outnumbered, former White House press secretary.

And Kaylee, you were with Trump when he lost.

So he had to finish out those final weeks. Famously, people talk about January 6th. But what changes when they know you're not coming back? Yeah, when they know you're not coming back, you're a lame duck president. And you have people who leave, you have people who talk to reporters.

And we're seeing this with Joe Biden. I mean, he had a former staffer come out, which is, you know, less surprising. You're no longer in the administration in the wake of his comments about jailing Trump, which he clarified he meant politically. I'll leave viewers or listeners to decide about that. But there was a current administration official who told a reporter, and this is often a leak-free White House, but told a reporter that no one listens to him anymore.

That's what happens when you're a lame duck president. And it's stunning because you know, Brian, this has been a pretty good airtight administration in terms of leaks. Right. But, you know, he's so bitter. Obviously, you saw the funeral for Ethel Kennedy.

He's obviously bitter that he's not there. Really trying to put together again how he got ousted, sees that she's no longer, you know, surging, plateaued, and maybe dipping, and thinking, why am I not there again? I did, you know, she's not that good.

So he's having trouble processing this. Yeah, how could you not be bitter? This is a president who began his administration with, I defeated Donald Trump, I took him down. He was meeting with historians because he wanted to be like FDR, and he grilled historians about how he could achieve FDR-like status. He probably imagined his name on his face on Mount Rushmore one day.

And now anyone will remember the Biden presidency solely and simply as the guy who stepped aside amid mental acuity issues. That is his legacy. And he's got to be thinking, could it be different? See, we think that second half. I think people at their dinner table and at their tailgate say, yeah, mental acuity issues, but no one says it.

No one says it. I was going to be one termer. Maybe I should be a one termer. The only reason you're a one-termer is because you got ousted by Nancy Pelosi. I personally think the story is going to be: they predicted everything except for that Harris would get the nomination.

They wanted a jungle primary where Harris would be one of the people. Clyburn even said it on one of the Sunday shows: she should be one of the people considered.

Okay, if Clyburn was saying that.

Well, we'll see. The other big story that came out, I believe, is On the Atlantic magazine story, John Kelly speaking out and coming out and saying basically that Donald Trump liked Hitler and often says he wanted him, he wished he had Hitler's generals, at which time he described and say, you know, a lot of times his generals were trying to kill him. This Atlantic story also includes someone whose daughter was killed on Fort Hood, and there's controversy there. Can you frame it out for us? Yes.

So this Atlantic story popped last night. And, you know, I'm about to go to bed. I'm joining you on Fox and Friends. And I see it. And the headline is about exactly as you described.

And it has this anecdote about the Guillain family. You noted the daughter was killed at Fort Hood. And it said that President Trump disrespected this family, is the gist of it. And I look at the author, and it's Jeffrey Goldberg, and I think, oh, I know that name. That is the name of the individual who wrote the suckers and losers story, which happened when I was press secretary.

And in hours, we gathered more than a dozen individuals who said that is not true, several who were eyewitnesses, one of which Zach Fuentes, an aide to John Kelly, who you mentioned, said he never said suckers and losers. Also, other parts of the story were discredited with contemporaneous documents I brought to the podium.

So this is the individual who peddles anonymous sources weeks before an election to try to affect the outcome. In my view, that's his goal. And then this Guillain story family breaks. I was in the first meeting with the Guillain family, not the second one in December. He talks about.

But the family was shown so much love and respect by Trump. The sister has come out and said, Donald Trump has shown me nothing but love and respect. I, in fact, voted for him today.

So, once again, here you have the Atlantic trying to sway an election weeks before, CBS leading with the story. It is malpractice, in my opinion. She says, Myra Guhan, sister of Vanessa Guhan, says, I don't appreciate how you're exploiting my sister's death for politics. It's hurtful and disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members. President Trump did nothing but show respect for my family and Vanessa.

In fact, I voted for President Trump.

So that. Good luck with that. They love it on CNN and MSNBC, but at least take a step back. Look at the guy's track record. You see the way he cares about people, whether it's a slain officer or it's a child.

You see the empathy that he has, which they claim he doesn't possess. But General John Kelly, I guess when contacted as former chief of staff and never fond of the president, said this: Cut 28. The former president Is in the far right Area. Shouldn't mean authoritarian. Um uh admires People who are dictators, he has said that.

So he certainly falls into the general. definition of of uh fascist for sure. If he was left to his own devices, would he be a dictator if he didn't have people around him? Oh, I think he'd be love to be. I think he'd love to be just like he was.

In business, he could tell people to do things and they would do it and uh and not really bother too much about whether uh what the legalities were and whatnot. General Kelly, your comments. Because you, Kayla, you were there too. Yes.

Don't know John Kelly. He was before my time. But what I do know is the Trump presidency. It was not fascist. You could judge it for yourself.

In fact, when you look at all the polling, people are fond of the Trump presidency. They remember better times. There were no new wars. There was Middle East peace. Did you see a fascist?

I certainly didn't. I see another party that wants to pack the courts. I see another party that used the DOJ to go after Trump lawlessly and pro-lifers nonetheless targeting that group. I see a lot of lawlessness on the other side, but I did not see that with Donald Trump. Can everyone out there understand that every president.

That you read about or study. Wrestle with the fact that they can't get things done exactly like they want it. Through the constitutional system, through the democracy that we have, there are things that got to pass. There are things that are executive orders. There's legislation that's got to be done.

Sometimes you have two Democratic houses, a House and Senate, and you're a Republican president, or vice versa. And there is frustration. You always hear that. The Democratic president talking to a dictator like the president of China or the leader of Russia, and they'll say, you know, I've got to see if I can get this done. I don't know if I can get it done.

I don't know how to get that treaty ratified. That doesn't mean he wants to be a dictator. It means. What Kelly just said. He came from a world for fifty years where it was a family business, like a huge one, but he just basically talked to his friends and family about executing his vision.

Obviously, this is something that he needed some adjusting. I don't think it means he wants to be Mussolini. Yeah, I saw a former cabinet secretary of Donald Trump's last week, and he was giving a talk, and I was listening to the talk, and he said something to the effect of private sector mentality is not rewarded in federal government. If anything, people are hesitant to bring that to federal government because what happens is you end up having, you know, an inspector general on you. There's all kinds of investigations because you're trying to do something different, and it upsets the career politicians, it upsets the career bureaucrats.

Donald Trump came in with a new and a fresh way of thinking. It upset a lot of people, upset the bureaucrats, upset some of the generals. But what did you get? You got economic prosperity and you got peace around the world. The private sector mentality worked.

But to your point, Brian, there are a lot of people who don't get that. And I guess you can't fault them because they've been doing this their whole life a certain way, but it worked.

So Anderson Cooper needed a lead.

So John Kelly provided it. And here it is, cut 30. A.J.B. commented more than once that Hitler did some good things too, and of course. If you know history, again, I think he's lacking in that, but if you know what his you know, Hitler was all about, it'd be it'd be pretty hard to make an argument that he did anything good.

So he went on to say, you know, Hitler's generals kept trying to kill him, so they'd have private conversations, and Hitler did some good things. That, according to him, he said, he brings that out now. Why would you bring that out now thirteen days before an election? When all of a sudden the president, former president, is surging. Yeah, I never heard him say anything like that.

Never, ever, ever in my hundreds of interactions. I don't know why. Look, but I know President Trump, to my point, did things differently. He called Kim Jong-un rocket man on Twitter. I'm sure the generals probably were a little apprehensive about that, but look what it did.

Never wanted to meet one-on-one with him. Exactly. He would pick up the phone and he would talk to Putin. Biden hasn't done that. And there's a colorable argument.

Ukraine wouldn't have happened if there would have been a second term because Donald Trump maintained relationships with both foes and friends, and it worked. And you didn't have Russia redrawing the map and invading a sovereign country. I don't think you would have seen October 7th. I think right now we'd be sitting here with a Saudi Arabia Middle East peace deal and Iran totally iced out in the Middle East. But the way Donald Trump got there was upsetting to a lot of people.

The rocket man, the back and forth. This is unconventional, but maybe I need a little unconventional. Kaylee, in your estimation, being that. You've been on every side of it. You've been a commentator.

Now you're an anchor. You've been an insider. And then you've also been working for campaigns. And you also know Trump. Can this move the needle on the on the few people that are undecided?

Absolutely not. I don't think so. Look, there are independent Nikki Haley voters. Yes, that can be moved. But I think what you are going to see based on the reporting that I've noticed is that Nikki Haley is going to come out, in my estimation, and make a powerful argument on behalf of Donald Trump.

I think you'll see them on the campaign together. There is no one who could bat down an argument better than this than Nikki Haley, who sat at the UN, who observed Donald Trump day to day. And I believe, no inside sourcing here, but I believe she's going to do that. And I think it's going to be very powerful. Would it be on MSG on Sunday?

Oh.

Well, first of all, Brian, I never questioned your political instincts because you predicted what happened this week, last week. And I think you just predicted what's going to happen next week, this week.

Well, I mean, it would be interesting because at first you might be like, well, that's the rival of Trump. Will she be booed? But she wasn't. She was greeted nicely by at the RNC. And you might say, just to button it up, the rest of the Republicans, what do they say?

8% or 10% are not voting for Trump Republicans, less than that for Democrats?

So, would that be a good place to come out? I asked him, and you'll hear this next hour. Are you doing this on the 27th as a New Yorker to culminate three campaigns and the end of campaigning for an office? And he said, I never thought about it. But For New Yorkers, it is And I think around the country, MSG is something special.

It's an iconic building. It's called the Mecca. It means a lot to a guy that sat in the front row and watched the Knicks and Rangers and Billy Joel for years. Yeah, it's very smart. Look, when Trump makes a stop that doesn't make sense in that it's not in a swing state, it does make sense nationally.

Aurora, Colorado, there was a specific immigration reason he was there. Coachella has a lot of pop culture, pizzazz to it. MSG has a certain notoriety. And I think you're going to see networks cover it and it gets social media traction in a way that maybe one stop in Wisconsin would not. I think in hindsight, these are pretty brilliant.

I can't speak for Kamala going to Texas and Tim Walls going to Kentucky, though. Does it surprise you that in three hours they had the invitations? MSG was sold out. Not surprising in the slightest. There's a lot of pent-up energy here for Trump.

I've seen Trump sides and places you wouldn't think you'd see them around the New York metro area. Not surprised that pent-up energy was channeled into a swamping of Madison Square Garden. You went for three hours with me to 20 minutes with me. Yes.

But you in two and a half hours are going to be doing outnumbered. Do you have any idea what's on your show? I have because you probably had no time to study. I talked to my producer in the middle of your show, and now I get avocado toast at the little Fox Cafe. Oh, you did?

And I go prep for Outnumbered, and I'll be ready to go, Brian. I'm always ahead of the game. But that's true, because carbs on the day of the game. Absolutely. Because they're easy to burn.

I mean, I didn't do the bagel. I could have done the bagel. At least it's got a little avocado spread on top.

So that nullifies the carbs. You know what you killed me? For the longest time, I said, give me an everything flat, right? Ooh, that's good. Right.

But then they said to me, Brian, you're not saving anything because you still are eating the same amount. They just crush it. But you are smart. You should get it scooped, right? Or not having it at all.

Yours is geometrically different, but not nutritionally different. But yeah, when I go to Pot Belly, I have it scooped. That is nutritionally different. Understood. Kaylee, I know you're sick of me.

You get to go now. Never sick of me. Thank you very much. Kayleigh McEnany. Multiple stories.

You could have went 25 different directions. Exciting time. Don't move. Brian Killmeat show. Learning something new every day on the Brian Killmead Show.

You could vote early and set an example if you wanted to in Florida. That would be an interesting decision.

Well, you know, it's interesting. I I really feel I'm very mixed. You know, I I have the old standard of Uh A lot of people like to vote. And I'm really mixed. You know what the main thing to me is?

You gotta vote. You gotta vote. Voting early, I guess, would be good, but people have. different feelings about it. But the main thing is you got to get out, you got to vote.

And I'll be voting early. I'll be voting early. In Florida. I guess you voted early in the primary, too.

So Donald Trump has to be pleased with some of the numbers of people voting early. Because if you look at Nevada, you look at Pennsylvania, the numbers are way ahead where they were in 2020. And remember, the theory is, and it's a strong one, it's going to be the same this time. That is that Republicans win on Election Day, and if Democrats are going to win, it's going to be the voting early vote, not usually the military vote, but it's going to be those who do mail-in voting and the ones who do early voting. Donald Trump.

Stopped everything when he said, Don't vote early. I don't know what's going to happen to your ballot. Don't let them screw with your ballot. Vote on election day. And that wasn't his good strategic move.

Everyone knew it. Plus, there was during the pandemic, and a lot of older people said, I'm not going to go stand online with big crowds. I like to mail it in. But then when you saw all the ballots Just show up in people's mailboxes or in apartment buildings. People say, Yeah, well, that looks like those ballots are ready to be thrown away.

I'm not going to let that happen to my ballot. Then you also had drive-through balloting, which is bizarre. Imagine a family of five, the father pulls up, tells everybody else who to vote for, and they hand up the envelopes in their dodge dart and say, There you go.

So it was a lot different last time. This has already proven different this time. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Killmead. You never saw anything like what happened at the debate night?

behind closed doors with him. It was a bad debate. People have bad debates. Should he bet? He is absolutely.

That's the reason why you're here, and he's not. running for the top of the ticket.

Well, you'd have to ask him if that's the only reason why. What do you think? I am running for President of the United States. Joe Biden is not. And my presidency will be about Bringing A new generation of leadership to America that is focused on the work that we need to do to invest in the ambitions and aspirations of the American people.

Ugh, what a ridiculous answer. Why could you ever be direct? Do you know this is an audition for the job? That was an interview with. Haley Jackson, Hallie Jackson, and asked a normal question that you and I have been asking all the time, but nobody asks her.

Why are you even the person? Why are you the vice president? We hear about you making pancakes for your grand nieces and they want more bacon. And then you get a call from Joe Biden that he's not going to run. He thought great and okay.

And so I guess I'll run. No, what happened behind the scenes was a Jerry McGuire-like frantic push to round up delegates and block off would-be contenders in order for you to get the nomination in this historic pullout thanks to the pressure from George Cooney, Nancy Pelosi, and most of all, Barack Obama. That's the story. And just saying, I got a call from Joe saying he's out, you have to ask him. is not going to suffice.

When does she realize she's got to be somewhat candid? Are you going to blame Brett Baer for asking too many questions? You're going to blame NBC? They're not nice enough to you? My goodness, Rich Lowry of National Review.

Rich, what's going on here? I mean, there's so many questions that even friendly networks are asking them, and she can't answer, and she's stunned by. By the content. Yeah, I think this is another case where she can't answer just because the answer would be too devastating. She'd have to say, she's being sincere and honest.

I knew all along, and we were just going to try to lie our way through it, and then we got caught. You know, that's why I'm the nominee. But of course, she can't say that.

So she has to dance around it and say, you know, I defer to Joe, and who knows? But it's the same thing on the border. It's not as though she couldn't. Not capable of giving a decent answer in the border, she doesn't want to give a decent answer because, again, it would be too devastating. It'd be, look, we blew it up deliberately, it was a huge mistake, we need we violated the law, and I promise not to do that in the future.

That would be a reasonable answer. You know, it would be a devastating one.

So instead, she has to try to evade and obfuscate. And, you know, she's not going to get any clear on any of this stuff in the next 13 days.

So, Mark Huban came out and said it's because their hearts were too big, letting refugees come into the country. I never saw, heard a more ridiculous answer in my life. Have you?

Well I do think they do have this moral view. It's twisted, but they think it's a moral view that basically borders are retrograde. You kind of you're intolerant and maybe a little racist, if you want to enforce them.

So there's this whole category of people, asylum seekers, even if they're bogus asylum seekers, that we don't have a right to exclude.

So it does go to some sort of moral view or at least how they view their hearts. But it's been a debacle and they didn't acknowledge it. Again, it's like Biden being caught at the bait. They didn't acknowledge it until they were caught. It finally dawned on them, oh, we're running against Donald Trump, whose signature issue is the border, and we're going to get killed on this.

And then they try to do something. But I've been kind of heartened. It looks like she was catching up a little bit on the border, but the polling lately shows that Trump continues to kill her on that.

So you know what's a subtle issue, but a major issue is this transgender issue, whether taxpayers should be paying for prisoners to get sex changes. The answer, obviously. Two Americans. Forget about party is of course not. And should you be as a male who wants to be a female playing in women's sports?

The answer for a logical person is of course they should not be playing in men's sports. But she can't even answer it. When confronted with this, listen to this, cut twelve. Do you believe that transgender Americans should have access to gender affirming care in this country? I believe we should follow the law.

I mean, I think you're probably pointing to the fact that Donald Trump's campaign has spent tens of millions of dollars. They're trying to define you on this. I'm asking you to define yourself, though. Just broadly speaking, what is your value? Do you believe they should have that access?

I believe that people, as the law states, even on this issue about federal law. That is a decision that doctors will make in terms of what is medically necessary. I'm not going to put myself in the position of a doctor. She kidding? Is she kidding?

I'm not going to put myself in the position as a doctor?

Well, she did. She was perfectly comfortable to do it three or four years ago, right?

So, what changed? She did this on the border too with Brett. I just want to ask about decriminalization and all this stuff. She's like, I'm going to follow the law.

Well, they didn't follow the law on the border. Actually, they violated the law quite explicitly in a massive way. And on this, too, she was willing to make a value statement, a normative statement, a couple of years ago. And now she doesn't want to address it because she realizes it's a huge vulnerability. And that ad, it's the best ad of the cycle.

If Trump wins, it'll be like one of the top five reasons that he wins. And Senate candidates all over the map, Republican Senate candidates are using the same issue. And you got Democrats running scared. You got Democrats feeling obligated to respond and lie about what they said in the past.

So, this is an issue that's hurting them. And it's good that Republicans finally found their voice on this because a couple of years ago, they were all afraid to talk about it. And now they're hitting Democrats on it deservedly. Think about how much America has found their voice on this. We all know that the border is broken.

We all know that mass deportation might absolutely be necessary. The country is for that. The transgender surgery is applied to women's sports. The country is now wanting to stop that. You know, when so many issues are just coming back home.

And then today, I'm looking at the headlines: How Black Lives Matter wasted $90 million. Why there isn't a major scandal about this, I don't know. But remember when you could not even say that all lives matter? People lose their jobs?

Now, if you say Black Lives Matter, people think you're taunting them. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah, I want you to hear just a little bit more from this other guy named President Biden. He's out in New Hampshire, for some reason, feels he's got to talk about prescription drug prices.

And how great he is.

So, a handful of people show up in a state that no one's talking about, and he says this: cut 24. He is talking about Doing away with the entire Department of Education. He's talking, he means it, not this is not a joke. This is a guy who also wants to replace every civil servant. Every single one.

thinks he has a right under the Supreme Court ruling on immunity. To be able, if need be, if he if it's the case, to actually eliminate, physically eliminate, shoot, kill.

someone who is a he believes to be a threat to him. I mean So I know this sounds bizarre. It sounds like if I said this Five years ago you'd lock me up. We gotta lock him up. Political documents.

Lock him out, that's what we have to do. I have so much to say on this, Rich, but you're my guest. You get to go first. Politically, lock him up? What does that mean, right?

That politically is a save.

So, this is the classic Freudian slip. I mean, it's it's what it's what Democrats believe, right? It's what they wanted to do. It it didn't work, but they at least would have had him in the courtroom entirely from March to October. May maybe the trial last trial will be ending today for all we know, and they'd put him in jail if they could.

So much happened. I mean, think about this. This is two days after Nathan Wade admitted he met with the Department of Justice and the White House three different times talking about this case. Uh the Georgia case. This is a time in which Jack Smith was hired by an attorney general who The current president lamented that America acted too slowly, should have indicted President Trump.

And got him through court a lot earlier. I mean, he shows it. Remember in twenty sixteen when Trump won, he was in the Oval Office with Obama as they essentially found out they started planting the whole Russia investigation and covering their tracks. He was sitting right there.

So this whole thing was Freudian, and the other ridiculous statement, which I don't know what's worse, if he believes it? Or he doesn't believe it. And said it. The Supreme Court ruling on immunity allows him to shoot somebody. Kill someone, he believes he'll be able to get away to it, or threaten to kill him, and he'll be able to get away with it.

There's nothing up this guy's a lawyer. There's nothing about that ruling that says he can go shoot somebody. But he's telling another group of vulnerable people that if you elect Donald Trump, he's going to kill people and be immune for prosecution. Yeah, it's absurd. And what will happen with that ruling?

It happens with all these Supreme Court rulings like that. Democrats will say, oh, it's the worst ruling ever. And then some Republican prosecutor will try to go after Biden or if Kamala Harris wins and is out in four years after Harris. And then they'll get protected by this ruling, and all of a sudden, the ruling will be great.

So it doesn't say Donald Trump is immune. It says presidents. And Donald Trump is not going to be our only president ever again.

So it's so short-sighted, and it just goes to the rank fear-mongering of the other side. I'm pretty struck. Maybe you have so much more experience with this, but I'm just struck about the negativity coming out and the attacks through the surrogates on Trump. Trump's always been tough and brusque. That's where he's always going to be: Rosie O'Donnell or.

Kim Jong-un. That's where he is. Oh, he got attacked. I'm attacking back. But listen to the man representing the party of joy, Cut 19.

When he's not complaining when he's not doing some strange tweet. He's trying to sell you stuff. Hey. I mean, who who Who is Hawkin Merch? when they're running for president.

I mean, he's trying to sell you golden sneakers. He's trying to sell you... A hundred thousand dollar watch. Says it's made in Switzerland, but Nobody really knows.

So he's just going off. Just going off on him like, I can't believe this guy is winning. Yeah, so this is kind of the part of the Obama MO is mockery. You know, he did a lot of it in 08 and 2012. But it's just the joy campaign is over, right?

They had the cliche with a sugar high. I think that was right. You know, the media was so on the tank, and Democrats were so relieved to be done with Biden that they could do this joy thing. Pretty long time, especially in a short campaign. But that phase is gone, that's worn off, and now they're just going hammer and tongs after Trump.

So I want you to hear what Mark Penn said about Democratic pollster for Hillary and Bill Clinton. I find him very interesting. He doesn't care. who he's being interviewed by, he's just going to hit you with the uh the facts. And this is how he sees the race at this moment.

Uh here is If I could just find it. Uh yeah, here's Mark Penn. I think Donald Trump has an edge. I I would not count Kamala Harris out at this point, but I think he's got an edge because he's winning on all the major issues. I think he's had some very strong issues in swing states, doing the auto workers in Michigan, fracking in Pennsylvania, and tips n no tax on tips in Nevada.

I think it's been a clever campaign in all those respects. And so I think he's got the edge. So that's how he sees it. Is that how you see it, Rich? Yeah, I I totally agree.

It's what I thought all all along that he had had the edge because people are so discontented with status quo and he's leading on the the major Issues, the economy and inflation and the border. And it's not a massive change, but you can see it kind of tip in his way in these swing states and some national polling as well.

So I kind of think he's going to win. But look, it's a margin of error race in every single swing.

So if there's a polling era looking out there for Harris or for Trump, or one of them turns out more people than we expect, it could tip one way in kind of a big Electoral College result. But it was close in sixteen, it was close in twenty. I think it's going to be close again this year, but I give the advantage to Trump. Lastly, what's your prediction on what Israel is going to do to Iran? I don't know.

I think it's unknowable. I think they who of us would have would have predict, oh, they're going to explode the pagers of Hezbollah operatives, right, and make a profit in the company, the cutout company that was manufacturing these things. They're so good. They have been so subtle and effective. The last five or six weeks, I have no idea what they are going to do, but I would not be sleeping very easily if I'm a terror operator in Iran.

Yes.

I just think that the whole region, I think, on some level is rooting for them to take out the nuclear program, except for President Biden. And I can't get my head around that. I know he doesn't want a world war, but the best way to stop us to do that. Yeah, everything would have played out differently if Iran had had a bomb. Israel going against Hezbollah, they'd be hesitant to do it because what if it makes Iran launch against them?

You know, it just deterrence doesn't just stay. Stop someone from launching a nuclear weapon. It stops you from doing things short of that.

So the whole environment would be different. It's totally intolerable for Iran to get a weapon. And it's just bizarre. After the first two or three weeks after October 7th, the administration has been bent on restraining Israel from doing the things that it needs to do. And then when it works out, they're like, oh, we're happy with that, but stop now.

So it's bizarre.

Sometimes you need to take your own side in a fight. And these people are our enemies, too. Right. The word surrender, not ceasefire. Mail-in ballots, you said, are a national embarrassment.

Why? Because we wait to count them until after the election? Yeah, Florida has a lot of mail-in ballots. It's not the system I would prefer, but it's the world we live in. And they process them before the election, then they count them on Election Day, and you know the result by an hour or two after the polls closed.

Pennsylvania doesn't process them until Election Day. It's complicated. You've got to take them out of envelopes, confirm envelopes, unfold the ballots. And it takes days.

So I think if it depends on Pennsylvania, which isn't a crazy bet, obviously, we might not know till Saturday again. Wow. Rich Lowry, National Review. It's an exciting time, Rich. Thank you.

Awesome. Thanks, Brian. 1866-408-7669. I know you have a lot to say. Brian Kill Meet Show.

Giving you everything you need to know, you're with Brian Kilmead. More to know. Sponsored by Previgent. Previgent is the most recommended memory support brand by pharmacists. Along with LeBron.

History. Tonight. The first father-son duo to play together. in an NBA game. This is all in the family and what a celebration.

For the James family. Ronnie's brother and sister, his mom on hand, Savannah. Zuri and Bryce sitting front row. There you go. LeBron James sets another record playing with his son, 20 years old.

Hopefully, he can work out. He did not have a long college career. He had a mini stroke. Before his freshman year, he was able to play the second half of the year at USA and then decided to go pro. With the Lakers up 51-35, he checked into the game.

So, congratulations, they made history. Here's. Him here's the Bronnie talking about playing with his dad. What will you remember most about tonight? Going up to that sports table with my dad checking in for the first time, that's a crazy moment I will never forget.

As you checked in and you realized this lifelong dream, what did you realize about accomplishing that? I mean, I'm just extremely grateful for everything. I was given an amazing opportunity to come in this league and get better every day and learn every day. See, I'm just extremely grateful. Right, here's LeBron.

Huge smile across your face. You have accomplished many milestones. You have made history countless times. Why is this feat so special? It's family.

It's always been family over everything. And, you know, for me, I lost a lot of time because of this league and committing to this league, being on the road at times, missing a lot of his things, Bryce's things, Jerry's things.

So to be able to have this moment where I'm working still and I can work alongside my son, it's one of the greatest gifts I've ever got from the man above, and I'm going to take full advantage of it. Yeah, and I hope his son does.

Meanwhile, this, a Spanish women's soccer club has sparked outrage after fielding two bearded guys who are transitioning from female to male. Including one who scored one of the winning goals. The transgender uproar exploded when club Esperanza took on a European team, and these two guys took the field.

So, get this. The women were becoming men, so they're wearing beards. Is that part of the transition process? I don't know. The fact that there's people with beards playing women's soccer is just mind-blowing.

Certainly not attractive. Not why I watch it. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show. Brian? In Kill Mead.

Hi everyone, I'm Brian Kilmead. Welcome back to the Brian Kilmead Show on this Wednesday in the afternoon. Before the John Kelly story broke in the Atlantic, I had a chance to sit down, excuse me. Talk to the former President of the United States. Here's a listen.

It's my pleasure to bring back on to the Brian Kilmicho, the 45th President of the United States, who wants to be the 47th President Donald Trump. Mr. President, How do you feel? with just 13 days to go. Can you believe it, first of all, all this time, all these years, all this work, But I feel very good.

She's taking the day off, and she's taking another day off. I don't believe in. I've gone 52 days in a row. And another thirteen days left, and I'm just leaving to make a big speech. in North Carolina.

And just I feel very good. You if you look at the early voting, which you know as well as anybody, it's looking very, very strong. I think it's people are voting for us at levels that no Republican has ever seen before. Republicans tried to stay away from early voting. You were unsure about, especially in twenty twenty.

Florida started voting. Are you going to vote early, kind of set example? Or do you want to set an example on voting day? Yeah, I'm very mixed on it. I I mean, I'm okay with the Tuesday voting, which they like doing, Republicans like, and I'm also I I say the main thing I say is vote.

But ideally, I guess a lot of people would like to see early voting, you know, where you stand a little bit. And I'm I'm okay either way, Brian, really. I really am. When you talk about stuff that you're doing, word is out that you're going to sit down with the number one podcaster in the country, Joe Rogan. You've met him a couple of times.

Why is this the right time to do the interview? It's going to go about three hours. That's a huge commitment with a guy with everything's uh everything's in play.

Well, I don't know. I think he talked about doing it and I don't know. We talked about it for a long time and uh I I think he's a nice guy. I've met him a couple of times at the fights. And I don't know, it's that just seems something to do.

It's no real strategy there, Brian. I do it and I do a lot of shows, good, bad or indifferent. I do a lot of shows, and they come out good. We're leading. We won the Republican nomination in a record time, and it's the fastest anyone's ever won it.

And we're doing very well now. We're up in the polls against this woman who's and I say it loudly, she's a low IQ person. We've had a low IQ person for the last four years. We cannot afford to have it any longer. And it's sort of isn't it amazing when you have 13 days left that somebody takes off and you're talking about the presidency?

That's not what we want. When you uh by the way, and and as far as Rogan's concerned, you know, I I enjoy him. I don't get to listen too much. I don't have a lot of time to sit down and listen. But I think it might be very interesting.

I think he is fantastic. I don't think he can go wrong. And the one thing we have in common, I did the first few UFCs with Jim Brown when no one knew what it was. And Joe Rogan helped make it, along with Dana White, one of the most successful franchises in the world. I want you to hear when you talk about illegal immigration and migrants overrunning cities, like we have 66,000 here right now.

President Obama brought that up. He's the surrogate who is doing work while the Vice President does perhaps other things or interviews. I want you to hear what he said. And the reason some people think Wow, I don't know. I remember that economy when he first came in being pretty good.

Yeah, it was pretty good, cause it was my economy.

So we'll talk about the illegal immigrants, what he said, but for there and the economy, is that why your economy did good? Because you inherited Obama's? No, we had a whole different thing, a whole different philosophy. My economy did good because I got the tax cuts. I got the greatest tax cuts in the history of our country.

And that's what really spurred our economy. We had the best job numbers of any of anybody. We had the best I had the best economy in history. And in the history of our country, I get credit for that. I get credit for the military.

I get credit for not having gone into a war. Right. You know, a lot of people thought I'd be in a war in 24 hours, and we had peace through strength. I did take over a mess that they left me with ISIS and defeated them in rapid time. You know, we we really did.

I rebuilt the military.

So you think Obama is largely characterizing your success, Mr. President? Do you think that he is. No, but he doesn't he doesn't characterize anything that's uh that's proper. I mean, what he what he does, he'll say anything anything that comes to mind as long as it's positive for him.

I mean, what he did to what he did to Biden was pretty incredible. I watched the way he let him off the stage. And I will say what he did to Biden was I think it was really terrible. I think it was terrible. They sabotaged Biden.

Whether you like Biden or not, he won the nomination, and then they took it away from him. And there's never been a time There's never been a time where that's happened. He certainly sounded upbeat. More with Donald Trump, who's going to be running through the tape with a very, very busy schedule, which looks to be much busier than the vice president's. More with Donald Trump in just a moment.

Newsmakers and newsbreakers. Here at first on the Brian Kill Meat Show. Welcome back, everybody. Brian Kilmeat here, as promised. I had a full 30 minutes unedited, uninterrupted with President Donald J.

Trump. After the break, as I told you, we're going to have more. Guess what? It's after the break, and here's more.

So, I want to talk about what's happening in foreign policy. Right now, Russia is hosting this break summit. It includes China, India, Brazil, South Africa, Russia, obviously, UAE, Ethiopia, Iran. Together, they represent. 20% of the world economy, 43% of the world's population.

Is that a threat to the G7? And are you calling on our allies like India and UAE to drop out of it and Turkey to stay out of it? I'm not calling on anything. I think it's a threat. It's always a threat.

But the reason that threat is there is because Biden and Kamala are so pathetic as leaders. They're the worst administration in the history of our country. Jimmy Carter looks brilliant by comparison. I mean, they are the worst. There's never been anything like this administration.

They are incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. And we'll end up in World War three over these people.

So, I mean, I don't, you know, I'm just blaming them because, frankly, if we had a real president, if we had a president that knew what he was doing and a vice president that could help, and she's worse than him. She's worse than him. I really believe that. I think she'll be actually worse than him. But you do look at BRICS as a threat, and that's something you want to address because they want to get off the dollar.

The de-dollarization is what Russia wants to do. Will you push it?

Well, I'll solve that as soon as I get in, and I will solve it very strong and very nicely, and it won't happen. There's no way we get off the dollar. If we get off the dollar, that's like losing a world war. That would make us a third world country. Losing the dollar, losing the status of the dollar would be a loss almost of a world war.

And it's not going to happen. If I'm president, it's not.

Now, if It'd be nice if they could start today instead of january twentieth. But you're right, that is a threat. To the dollar, and it's a threat militarily. That's a big force you're talking about. And there's no reason for this.

This should have never happened. Before I even premise this, I know you believe, and there's indications you're right, that Ukraine would never have been invaded if you had won the second term.

However, there is a war going on, and you will inherit it if you win. and right now that's been confirmed, fighting for Russia are North Korean soldiers and Chinese mercenaries.

South Korea has indicated if North Korea is going to fight, we'll go. What do you do about this? And is one of the things releasing the restrictions on the weapons that we give Zelensky to actually hit the people who are hitting you? Because right now they're restricted. Your thoughts?

Well, you know, you mentioned at the beginning, just at the beginning of this question, that, you know, I know it wouldn't have happened. It would not have happened. And that's the sad part.

So many people are dead.

So many people are killed.

So many cities, I mean, almost most of them are just laying on their sides, broken up into smithereens. What a shame. Far more people died, Brian, as you know. You see that. Far more people died.

And it's a horrible thing. And I hate what happened. But that is going to be your problem, Mr. President. There's no way it would have happened.

It's going to be on the resolute desk. Whoever the president is, it's going to be on the resolute desk, top priority. What would you do about it? It will be a top priority, and I'll get both sides together and I'll try and knock something, knock some sense into them. And I think I'll be successful.

But it was a lot easier before it started, that I can tell you. All the lives that were just wasted. It really was Vladimir elected war. Vladimir Putin's elected war, and he basically lost his navy to a bunch of drones that Zelensky. I think they've been brilliant in many ways, but now they've got their hands full.

They got two other countries fighting against him. I wonder. You didn't see that coming. By the way, you didn't see that coming, Brian. You got other countries going, and you have an incompetent president, and you have an incompetent vice president.

She's more incompetent than he is. I want you to hear what's happening. Elise Lotkin, Democrat, Senator Casey, Democrat, are using you. in their ads in a positive way. Listen.

Sammy Bono got President Trump the signer made in America bill. That's why I wrote a law signed by President Trump forcing drug companies to show their actual prices. Casey bucked Biden to protect fracking, and he sided with Trump to end NAFTA and put tariffs on China to stop them from cheating. Do they deserve credit?

Well, you got two others because you have in Ohio that's happening, and there's a couple of others, too. I guess it's a compliment, but I just hope it doesn't affect the race. I would imagine it's probably a compliment. No, they're all saying that we were with Trump when the tariffs were. At least tariffs are finally becoming popular.

I'm not sure how you feel about it, but I will tell you: tariffs are going to make us rich again. Tariffs are the way to go. It's my favorite word in the dictionary. Outside of love and religion, Brian. Let's move to Israel.

Israel has done the impossible. They've decapitated. Hezbollah. They've released and located their financing and told the Lebanese where to find it. They also have all but wiped out all but one battalion of Hamas, including their leadership.

And now they've all but promised and it's expected they're going to hit Iran. I know you've talked to Prime Minister B.B. Netanyahu over the weekend. Without giving away intelligence, I know you're concerned about the leaking or the hacking, whatever it is. What would you say to them about what?

What sites should be hit or not hit inside Iran? It's sort of ironic the way you put that question because you say without giving away intelligence. Brian, our intelligence or their intelligence has been totally leaked. That was a massive leak. And somebody is a real enemy to have done that.

They've leaked the entire seventy, whatever it is, different plans and versions of it to the world, to the world. Think of it. How would you like to be Israel and wake up and find out that all of your various plans on attacking Iran have been leaked to the media and to the world? And this can only happen to this administration. This group of people is just so bad.

And they think it comes out of the Department of Defense, but who knows, right? Do you think it's a sentiment there's a sentiment in this administration for Iran? And does things change when you come in if you win? We're going to get everything straightened out. We're going to get Russia and Ukraine settled up.

We're going to get them settled up. We're going to work like hell. And I know you'd like to see that. And I know how you feel about it. And I fully understand how you feel about it.

We're going to try and get that settled up and stop. We're going to stop the killing, the death, all that death. And Horrible, wasted death. It's so sad to watch. You know, that whole culture's been taken down because those cities are knocked down to the ground for the most part.

Outside of a few areas, it's uh I mean, these you look at those cities, every single building is Some of them magnificent, those magnificent golden towers and everything, they're all gone, blown to Smithereens and far more people than anybody knows, right? You're going to find that out. But I am going to sit down with them, and I know both of them very well. And I'm going to try and get that thing done. I'm going to try and enforce a peace between them.

And then with Israel, that's actually in a certain way Uh you might say it's more complicated, but maybe not as difficult if you want to know the truth. It's probably a more complicated situation, but maybe not as difficult. But but if Iran is on October 7th, you know, Brian, I think you would be believing in this. October 7th would have never happened. Iran was broke.

They didn't have money for Hezbollah. They didn't have money for Hamas. They had no money. They had they were absolutely they would have made a deal. And I would I would have made a deal that's good.

I want to make a deal that's good for everybody. But we don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon. But if you look at your message to the Arab community, if you look at the Abraham Accords, there's really no administration that's done more, maybe Jimmy Carter, when he brought Egypt to the table with Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat, to bring the Arab world together with Israel than you guys.

So is that the message to Michigan?

Well, I'll tell you, the message to Michigan really is that if they would have gone with the accords, so we have the four countries in, we're going to get a lot of countries, we're going to get those countries back in there. The Abraham Accords was one of the greatest things that maybe one of the greatest things, maybe the greatest that the Middle East has seen. It can easily be filled out. And I think it would have been filled out. And I even think there would have been a chance at that time because Iran was not in a great negotiating position.

And although I must say, over the last four weeks, they're not as good at negotiating Position as they would have been a long time before. It's amazing what's happened.

Now, had Israel listened to Biden, They would be waiting for a bomb to be dropped on their head right now. They would have listened. Yes, go ahead. There's a theory that the Prime Minister, after meeting with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, said that if Trump is not to win, uh things are going to change dramatically, so I have to win now. Do you believe he changed his strategy after he came to the US and met with them and she did not show up for the joint session of Congress?

Yes, I don't know, but he's been pretty much on his own. He has not been listening to Biden. Biden wanted them to stop immediately fighting. And if he did, you literally would be waiting for that bomb to drop down on Israel. That's probably what would have happened.

And he's in a very strong position right now. But with all of that being said, we'll see what we can do in terms of getting peace. But He has really put himself uh Bibi's done uh Hell of a job of fighting, but he would not listen to Biden. He wouldn't do it. He wouldn't listen to Biden.

Don't forget, when they made the original, you know, when the United States made the deal, he came here. He was begging Obama, in that time, Obama and Biden, but basically Obama, not to make the deal, a deal that I broke, and a deal that it was a great thing that I broke it. Do you know, if I didn't break that deal, the deal would be coming through right now. They'd be able to make it. It would end in 10 years.

No, the biggest problem with that deal was very short term. You know, everyone said, oh, I broke the deal. Of course I broke the deal. The thing would be coming due right now, and they would have a clear path to do it. There was, in theory, nothing you could do about it.

So it would have been coming due right now. It was a very short term deal. It was a lousy deal. Whoever made that deal, which I know who made it, but that was a very bad deal for the United States. It was a really bad deal for Israel.

And I terminated it. We're working on all these things, Brian, you know, and they're in flux because it's like, what are you going to do?

Well, what am I going to do today is going to be what am I going to do tomorrow is going to be different, you know, because it's changing rapidly. It's changing rapidly. And right now you're running. I'd love to end Ukraine. I'd love to end the.

War between Russia and Ukraine, I really think that we gotta get that one ended. I'd love to see that ended. I thought it's been badly handled by everybody, including Biden. I mean, Biden, what he was saying at the time, there's no reason Russia would have gone in. They would have never gone in.

And I hate to say that always.

Well, you know, it's been a disaster for Russia, too. They've lost 100,000 people. They've been isolated economically and fallen apart. But just to bring it back locally or actually to Israel, real quick, they're going to hit targets, and it's going to be in a matter of weeks. The Thad missile system is there.

They've got the Arrow, David Sling, and they have the Iron Dome.

Now that it's in place, and Iran has basically hit 150 sent 150 rockets their way and is all but embracing for it. Would you like to see them hit the oil fields, the nuclear fields, the military fields?

Well, I don't want to say because it puts me in a very bad position in terms of negotiating. But a lot of people would say, let me put it that way, that you hit the nuclear and you hit the oil. But I don't want to be the one to say that because I don't want to get involved. And I do speak to BB and I speak to a lot of people. And from a negotiating standpoint, if I'm going to be involved, but what people are saying now, Biden is saying the exact opposite.

Don't hit the oil and don't hit the nuclear. You know, he's taking the opposite approach. Everything you know, in history, Brian, if over the last forty years you went the exact opposite of Joe Biden, every single decision, the exact even if you look at Or look at the World Trade Center. Let's not hit him, right? Let's not hit Osama bin Laden.

Yeah, he said don't take bin Laden. If you would take the exact opposite of Biden every single time, you would be one of the greatest foreign policy experts in this year. Part of the reason why they seem to have just kicked him to the curb.

So, more with Donald Trump right after this. You listen to the Brian Joe Mead show. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show.

So, I hope you're enjoying the interview with President Donald J. Trump. As we get said, 13 days in counting until it's all said and done. We went 30 minutes, took a couple of breaks, said, here's more of my interview. Kind of exclusive.

With the 45th president, who really believes he's about to be the 47th. I want to talk about something in New York that you can relate to, and that's Danny Penny. This hero Marine, in my view. Sees a problem on a subway car and used his training to subduce Jordan Ely, sadly. Maybe due to some drugs in the system, we don't know.

He loses his life.

Now he's on trial, at stake his freedom, maybe 15 years in prison. your take on what he's going through and what would you like to see happen?

Well, I guess you have to look at the also the record of the Other gentlemen, we're talking about like 30 or 35 arrests or something like that. It was rough. You're going to have to hear from the people in the subway because they were very, very scared. They were, from what I understand, very scared. And I'd have to look at it in a little more detail, but it sounded to me like he was very aggressive in the subway and they were afraid for their lives.

And I assume they have some of those people testifying.

So we'd have to take a look at that. But uh It's an awfully tough case, I think. It's an example of crime in the subway. I mean, there's always been crime in the subway in New York, especially in the 70s and 80s. But it is dangerous now, and as Good Samaritan standing up, and now he's on trial when almost nobody else in New York, aside from you, is.

The other thing that comes to mind is you're going to be at Madison Square Garden.

Now, October 27th, it's going to be Sunday. Already with reservations, you are sold out. Is this because you look at it as the perfect way to culminate three campaigns?

Well, I didn't think of it that way. We're really looking to win New York if we can. We think there's a chance of winning New York first time since well, long time, many, many decades. And we think there's a real chance with what's going on with the migrants taking over the city, taking over the whole state. Frankly, if you look around, they're all over the state.

And uh a lot of crime, crimes at an all-time high. You would think would do very well in New York. And so it's for New York. But it is it's also, you know, it's MSG, it's Madison Square Garden. If you like guys like you and I, that means a lot, those words, Madison Square Garden, right?

Don't you think so? And Sid Rosenberg coming up who's going to speak first, that's going to be great. Yeah, we're going to have a good time. I think we're going to have a great time. And it is in a certain way.

I didn't do it for that reason. I did it because it's. It's a very big stop. And, you know, we sold it out in three hours. It was totally sold out in three hours, which is pretty amazing when you think of it for politics.

I don't have a guitar, so you can do it. When you can do that in three hours without a guitar, that's pretty good. But there's a great feeling. We did great in twenty sixteen. We actually did much better in twenty twenty, as you know, in terms of votes.

And uh This one will be there's no comparison between the first two and this one. The level of enthusiasm, I think you see it too. The level of enthusiasm for this is Greater than anything I've ever done. Take a look at McDonald's. I went into a McDonald's, it's become this.

Incredible story. Google said it's one of the most searched. They've ever had. It's pretty wild.

So it's all about the level of enthusiasm. And we've never had anything like this one. Doug Emhoff, I'm sure you didn't have a chance to see this one. Maybe you did. They're running out so many ads.

He's got an ad out with Ben Stiller and Andy Cohen talking about the need to be a girl dad and stand up for abortion rights. With the scandals, rumors swirling around him. Should he be telling us how to be a girl dad? No, I don't think so. I think it's that good.

I think that I think the whole group is not so good. This is not what our country needs. I hope that we're going to have the kind of results that we're seeing in early voting. You know, the early voting has been extraordinary so far. I would say beyond our wildest expectation.

If you look at North Carolina, you look at Georgia, I guess somebody, one of the I think the Atlanta paper came out with about a five four or five points spread already that we're leading. And we're doing we seem to be doing very well in early voting, but who knows, we have to get it You have to get it over the top. There's great enthusiasm. We've never had hey, look, It's my third time doing this, and we've never, we did incredible in 2016, we did better in terms of voting by millions of votes. The second, we've never had enthusiasm like now.

And part of the reason is because they've been so bad. What you know, you love competition, you like to break down the numbers. Out of the seven battleground states, what worries you the most? Cheating. Which one though?

Which state? No, all of them. I mean, they cheat. All of them. I mean, the biggest.

Risk to me. I think we win it easily. I think I would have just. campaigned At 30% of what I've done. You know, I haven't taken a day off in 52 days.

And now I have thirteen, and she's sleeping today, and she'll sleep by here tomorrow, too. She's going to sleep all day. She's like Biden, she likes to sleep a lot.

Well, no, I haven't taken I haven't taken days, I have not taken Days off at all. Nor should I. You know, this is the big thing. This is going to be make America great again. We can't take a chance.

Our country, if we don't win this race, our country is in serious jeopardy. One sports question, but before I do that, this quote from Barack Obama: He wants you to believe, meaning Trump, if you elect him, he will round up whoever he wants, ship them out, and all our problems with him will be gone. When I hear Donald Trump talk, he's very quick to say, Kamala, you're the vice president. You had it for four years. He said, Dude, you were the president for four years.

Why haven't you done it? What's your response to Obama?

Well, I did do it. We had the strongest border in history. I built hundreds of miles of wall. I did do it. If you look at that famous chart, that now very famous chart, the lowest point that we've had for virtual money.

So why does he say this? Was the last day? What kind of attack plan is that then, do you think? Like you not do you notice when he's attacking you? I don't care what he says.

Look, I mean, the guy I thought he was a very divisive President, not a good President. And look at the kind of things, look at the mistakes they made when he was President. He was frankly compared to Biden, He was good. Compared to this group, he was good. But he was a very divisive president, not a good president at all.

But when they say, why didn't Trump do it? I did do it. I built hundreds of miles of wall. I was going to build 200 more that were all set to be put in place. And these people didn't do it.

And we had the best border in history And for him to say that is just pretty amazing. But that's all right. Let him say nobody. Here's the good news about Obama. Nobody listens to him.

When the Vice President is campaigning, she's doing town halls with Liz Cheney. She's trying to get disinfected, I guess, disenfranchised Republicans. Why do you think she's doing these town halls with Liz Cheney? Liz Cheney had the biggest loss in the history of the United States Congress, losing by almost 40 points. Think of it.

The biggest loss, because most people, when they're down that much, if they're in Congress, what they do is they resign before going through a humiliation like that. She is so bad. She was a war hawk. Like her father, a Warhawk. He was the one that.

Push Bush into the Middle East and spent $10 trillion. I mean, think of it: $10 trillion that we got. We got nothing but death. Everybody got death out of it. Loss and death.

And Liz Channy, it's very interesting because here you have somebody that went into the Middle East. And she's trying to get this is the man who wanted to get strongly wanted to get. into the Middle East and kill the Arabs, And she's trying to get Arab supporters, he's got Liz Chaney, of all people. And Liz Chaney was a war hawk. That's why I never got along with her.

She wanted to go to war with everybody. You know, big brave Liz Cheney, let's let's kill a lot of people.

So disgraceful. We know that. I think it's a huge negative for her, by the way, for Kamala, as the expression goes. Why do you think she's not campaigning at all with President Biden? And what do you think that message is that?

Well, I think she's not campaigning at all. She's off today, and she's off tomorrow or the next day, and I've gone fifty-two days in a row. And we have 13 left, and I won't be taking off. I will not be taking off. But think of it: she's off today, and she's going to be off tomorrow.

This is not what we want for a president.

So, when I used to cover sports, they used to say, Yeah, Donald Trump's up there with George Steinbrenner, as usual. You guys used to go on the Yankee heyday, good and bad days, you sit there and watch George Steinbrenner erupt or cheer. Very consequential guy.

Now, your mutual friend Landy Levine is running, Randy Levine is running things. I try to get some inside information about the World Series. First one in New York since 2009, first time they met since 1981. Donald Trump, your prediction on the World Series seen on Fox. Game one, game two will be out in Los Angeles.

Your thoughts about how long it goes and who's going to win.

Well, I'm going to say the Yankees. Randy is a great friend of mine. George and the family, his family is made of a lot of terrific people. And so I have to go with the Yankees, of course. But we'll see what happens.

The Dodgers have a great team. They have a great team. But uh if the Yankees are hot with their bats, I would say they have maybe a little bit of an advantage. What are the odds on it, by the way? Who's favored to win?

Similar? That's a great question. I'm not a big betting guy. I would think the Dodgers might be favored with a better record overall, but the Yankees really coasted through the playoffs and Judge is beginning to hit. Dodgers are favored.

Minus 130. All right. We're not betting people, are we? You don't bet, do you? No, we don't want to bet.

But I'll say the Yankees will win. You and I will talk about it afterwards. Will you go to a game? Hopefully, they'll have a good. I'd like to go.

You know, the problem is because of the Secret Service stuff, I don't want to make it uncomfortable for everyone else, you know? All right, Mr. President, I'd love to.

Well, our audience really appreciates the time, especially you're being heard in Omaha now, and there's electoral votes just waiting there.

So over in Nebraska.

Well, Omaha, I love Omaha, and I really hope you're going to give me that vote because I would go. Go out there right now, and whether it's going to be that important or not, it may be under certain limited. Under a limited circumstance, it could be a very important vote. But I do great in Nebraska. I'd love to get that Omaha vote.

You know, it's a little bit segmented from the rest. I understand. They had a little bit of a rogue senator out there who decided that he wanted to get a little free publicity, so he didn't get that done. But that's okay. I would love to get that vote.

And to the people of Omaha, please be nice to me. Thank you. Yes.

And you could vote early and set an example if you wanted to in Florida. That would be an interesting decision.

Well, you know, it's interesting. I I really feel I'm very mixed. You know, I I have the old standard of uh the Tuesday vote and all. Uh a lot of people like to vote. I and I'm really mixed.

You know what the main thing to me is you gotta vote. You gotta vote. A voting early, I guess, would be good, but, you know, people have Different feelings about it. But the main thing is you got to get out, you got to vote, and I'll be voting early. I'll be voting early.

That's interesting. Great. And we'll see if Elon Musk is doing that too. He's making sure everyone votes. Is he the greatest?

He's right now campaigning in Pennsylvania while she's sleeping. She's sleeping, and Elon is campaigning. Elon is busier than her, too, believe me. He's half Henry Ford, half Edison, and half Benjamin Franklin. Whatever.

Isn't he unbelievable? He's unbelievable. Even the Starlink, he got it for Dutch. Think of it, he got it for North Carolina Starlink when they had no communications. People were dying over no communication.

And he got it to them right away at my request. He's amazing, that guy.

So it's nice to have him on my side, Brian. Do you agree? I agree. He's got good cars and good spacecraft, and he doesn't waste anything. They land intact.

Right. They land. I've never seen anything like it. It's really something. That's great.

Thanks a lot, Brian. Best of luck Sunday and best of luck in North Carolina. Those people need a lot of help. Mr. President, thanks so much for your time.

Best of luck. Thanks, Brian. You're doing a great job. Thank you very much. All right.

Hope you enjoyed the interview. If you want to hear the whole thing without any commercial breaks, just go to BrianKilmeadShow.com and click on the podcast. This way you get to hear Trump 101 with me, your favorite host. Educating, entertaining, enlightening, you're with Brian Kilmead. Yeah.

The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead. Nice of the President to sit down, give me some quality time yesterday in the afternoon. And I'll have to say, had a chance to talk to him, as I've said before, as dating back to 88 when I was doing SportsPhone, graduating college. And you know when he's upbeat, he was upbeat pretty much every minute until he became a politician.

But sometimes he hops on, and he's hopped on with us here on the show live. And hi, hi. Abrupt, kinda angry, all right. Yesterday? When I when I called when he called in and we patched me in, he said hello.

We're having a small talk, and I was trying to just say, This is not on. He goes, I know. I just want to see what you think and how you think it's going. He really feels good about his prospects. He feels like things are going.

But then a few hours later, out come this story in the Atlantic about what General Kelly says he said about German generals and Hitler and. Uh Gold Star Families. Here we go again, and I predicted it. There'll be some type of pushback from these generals that work for him. Admiral McCraven didn't like him.

Uh General Kelly didn't like him. And we also have Uh General Mattis didn't like him. But the people that replaced him did really well. I mean, Robert O'Brien was fantastic. National Security Advisor McMaster liked a lot of what he did and didn't, but he did a great job.

And then John Bolton took over. He was later replaced. John Bolton. was a bad mix for the president. I like John Bolton.

He's been a great friend of the show. But for him to think that Kamala Harris would be better for the country than. Donald Trump is nuts. Come on Harris is a disaster. She stands for nothing.

She's done nothing. Accomplished nothing. Worst vice president ever. The most maligned, certainly since Dan Quayle. Although to Dan Quayle, there are indications it was unjustly.

So I thought he was uh upbeat. And I thought he was pretty strong yesterday. We'll see where we're going. And we did find out that he's voting early. And I know it's not the sexiest topic in the world.

You might not be talking about it at your tailgate this weekend. But the whole brick story is thirty two nations formed to essentially be anti G seven. Anti-American to try to find an economic force that would freeze us out. And we have some allies on that. And I asked him about that, and you heard his answer on it.

If it ends up being the the de dollarization of the world, it is like a Third World War. We'd have to restructure all our debt and everything else. What's coming up Friday is Joe Rogan.

So Rogan, who said, I'm not going to interview Trump because I don't want to help him, has changed his mind. Had a chance to meet him, talks to Dana White, who's one of his best friends and one of Joe Rogan's best friends. They have mutual and getting to see how everything's falling out, and Elon Musk being best friends with Rogan. He's not saying I'm endorsing anybody. But what he's saying is, come to the show for three hours, and you will see.

Just like Andrew Schultz, that's an outstanding comedian who has a podcast, you'll see the numbers, even for Joe Rogan, go through the roof because they're going to want to see them interact. You have no idea what Rogan's going to bring up. But the reason why Trump thrives in this is the only things they'll bring up is personal things that might be shocking. Trump doesn't care about personal stuff. You want to talk about the color or this or that?

You've got to bring up the 1970s in some type of situation with his dad. He's not going to embrace it. But He'll talk about everything.

So that won't be a problem. And I think you'll see that side of him. And maybe Joe Rogan, without any notes, will bring up something nobody else has brought up yet. That he's not going to read a book. He's maybe watching the news.

But overall You're looking at a race. That Donald Trump Is on the cost Of winning. If the election was today, I think he'd win. Just judging by the momentum and judging by the actions of the other guys. Ineptness.

For Kamala Harris to take off entirely yesterday. She doesn't need any more fundraisers, got more money than anybody else ever used. You cannot spend all this money. Everybody knows you got more money. But then to go to Texas Tomorrow?

Really? Why are you going to Texas?

Well, I want to help out Colin Ulrich against Ted Cruz. Really? Why do you care about a Race in which more than likely the Democrats are going to lose in a state that you're not going to win. You worry about your seven states. Go visit hurricane victims in North Carolina.

That's an idea. Go to Michigan and don't just stay in Detroit. That's another idea. From Hayaton, Fox News Headquarters in New York City. Always seeking solutions, never sowing division.

It's Brian Kilmead. Welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kilmead Show.

So glad you're here. Make sure you call 1-866-408-7669. Martha McCallum will be here at the bottom of the hour. And Mike Dunlevy, the 12th governor of Alaska. He's been doing this since 2018.

We'll be joining me shortly, and we have a lot to do. Special thanks to the former president for joining me at a previous hour, depending on when you're getting the show. And keep in mind, go to BrianKilmeatShow.com and you could hear the entire interview unedited.

So before we get to the governor of Alaska, let's get to the big three.

Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. Can you assure the Israelis this was not an intentional leak by the administration?

Well, first of all, Jen, you know that I take handling of classified information very, very seriously. We remain committed to supporting each other and being as transparent as possible. And I'll leave it at that. Yes, if they only left it by President Biden's Corvette, no one would ever have found it. Leak satellite images on Telegram.

While Pentagon says they have no suspects, and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin didn't rule out the possibility of an intentional leak by someone in his administration, this is Israel prepares to pay back Iran for their rocket attacks. from a month ago. Number two. You know what the main thing to me is you got to vote. You got to vote.

A voting early, I guess, would be good, but you know, people have different feelings about it. But the main thing is you got to get out, you got to vote. And I'll be voting early. I'll be voting early. All right, that's pretty big news.

He told us he's voting early. A lot of difference in four years ago when he said only counted on election day. There you go. I talked to President Trump for 30 minutes while Vice President Harris seems to fall apart on NBC. She struggles to define and defend her programs, policies, and her loyalty and health of President Biden.

You'll hear the Hulk for a Trump interview and listen to it, and we'll get some clips for it. Number one. I think he's had some very strong issues in swing states doing the auto workers in Michigan, fracking in Pennsylvania, and no tax on tips in Nevada. I think it's been a clever campaign in all those respects. And so I think he's got the edge.

That's Mark Penn, Democratic strategist, pollster. 13 days until Election Day for 2024. Early returns show a surge in Republicans getting out to vote early under Trump, but it usually is he's a day-of-game guy. Dems quietly start to panic about the polls, in my view. VP Harris has a light schedule, which is an odd way to say I'm trailing.

Meanwhile, Biden rages and hurts Harris in the process. Governor Mike Dunleavy joins us now. Governor, great to hear from you. It's great to be on, Brian. Thanks for having me.

Now that you're in the mainland, are you with us or you're in Alaska? No, I'm in Alaska. It's about uh seven oh eight AM. Wow, I appreciate getting up early.

So, Governor, where do you feel this race is? I think reality is setting in. I was just looking into your last top three in your segments. I think reality is setting in that. Harris is there's nothing there.

And that people are looking back four years and asking themselves, are they better off today than they were four years ago? And anyone that's honest is going to say no. If you're a college student, you're living with your parents, you can't afford to pay off your loans, you can't afford to buy a house. I mean, the list goes on and on and on. You look at the wars in the Middle East, the Houthis flinging rockets at Israel, what's happening in Russia.

None of this was happening under Trump, and I think people are starting to realize that actually those four years were pretty good years. They shut down the Red Sea, causing people to go around Africa now.

So this is absolutely incredible. Columbus had it better. Kamala Harris sat down with NBC, thought she'd have a walk in the park. The problem is she can't have a walk in the park if she never wants to answer a legitimate question. Listen to this: Cut 12.

Do you believe that transgender Americans should have access to gender-affirming care in this country? I believe we should follow the law. I mean, I think you're probably pointing to the fact that Donald Trump's campaign has spent tens of millions of dollars. They're trying to define you on this. I'm asking you to define yourself, though.

Just broadly speaking, what is your value? Who you believe they should have that access? I believe that people, as the law states, even on this issue about federal law. That is a decision that doctors will make in terms of what is medically necessary. I'm not going to put myself in the position of a doctor.

Is she kidding? You don't have any opinions on transgender surgery? She does, Brian, but she doesn't want to state what they are. That's the problem, and that's what people are seeing. You don't have that problem with President Trump.

He's running on it. I want to talk about energy. It matters so much to you. When people come out, Governor Dunlevy, and say, well, energy production is up. I don't know what you're talking about being a new Green Deal administration.

What could you tell us is the reality as you see it in Alaska?

Well, Alaska, to be honest with you, has been brutalized by this administration. Senator Dan Sullivan has a very interesting chart that shows sixty six actions by this administration in the past four years against Alaska, just Alaska only. Everything from shutting down Anwar, which was opened up in twenty seventeen and a bill signed by Congress, The offshore oil leases, NPRA National Petroleum Reserve, which is a petroleum reserve. It was there for oil, 13 million acres taken off the table. The list goes on and on and on.

And Alaska is a resource state. We were producing 2 million barrels per day in 1989. We're still producing about 500,000 barrels today. We have tremendous opportunity to drive down the cost of energy in the United States of America and help our Asian allies. Every turn, every day, there seems to be a new executive order favoring talking to Venezuela to get oil or Saudi Arabia as opposed to its own country.

And so we're really looking forward to this election up here in Alaska. And I can tell you, as the only red state left on the West Coast, President Trump is going to win up here in Alaska, and we'll do our part to get him over the finish line.

So let me get this straight. You're doing 500,000 barrels and you could be doing 2 million? We were doing two million. We're doing five hundred thousand barrels now. But if they allowed us just to take advantage of the opportunities that we have, we estimate we'd be back up to eight hundred thousand barrels, maybe nine hundred thousand barrels.

So almost doubling what we have now if they just allowed us to drill. And Anwar was part of the tax reform package.

So we can't get a hold of the whole. Biden excuse the Biden Harris energy plan, now the Harris energy plan. We know where she stood in twenty twenty. But listen, dating back to twenty nineteen, I want you to hear her all her different positions on when it comes to oil and gas, Cut thirty four. There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking.

So yes, do you still want to ban fracking? No, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020. That I would not ban fracking. I made that very clear in 2020. I will not ban fracking.

I have not banned fracking as Vice President of the United States, and in fact, I was the tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act, which opened new leases for fracking.

So where where do we believe? Then we have her surrogates coming out yesterday saying they say you can keep fracking, but no new exploration. That is this Camilla Thorndike. And then she walked it back saying, I didn't explain myself clearly. Contrary to Trump's claims, the VP has Not banned fracking and doesn't support banning fracking.

In fact, she cast the tiebreaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act about fracking. About new leases, She goes, We're open to new leases. After saying they weren't, and currently we're in a pause. This is a big deal. Truly, it is.

Brian, I'm originally from Scranton, Pennsylvania. I'm the other guy that's from Scranton, Pennsylvania. I grew up heating our house with coal, heating our hot water with coal. Susquehanna County, which is just north of Scranton, is where fracting is really taking place. I've got friends there.

And they don't believe her. They don't believe what she's saying. They believe what she was saying years ago in which you wanted the ban fracking, but they don't believe the new Kamala Harris today. And so again, I'm optimistic that Pennsylvania is going to do its part as well in making sure that we can put the last four years behind us and really look at a future for last excuse me, for all Americans and our young people. But nobody believes her.

That's why you see her poll numbers and her possibilities of winning this election. Falling. Right. And I guess we're going to see what happens with the Republican Party. Also, with the Senate, you get a good indication of where the election's going because you look at the Senate, it looks like McCormick is closing.

Hove D is closing in Wisconsin. McCormick is closing in Pennsylvania. And you have Bernie Moreno, who's come out of nowhere. He's now within one point of Sherrod Brown, who's a long-term senator there in Ohio. Do you look at that?

And Tim Sheehi is up five, it looks like, in Montana. It looks like that'll flip. Does that indicate to you that something's happened at the presidential level? Yes, I think so. I think you're going to see I think you're going to see a number of Senate races turn in for the Republicans.

I think we're going to just get one. We're going to get several to have a cushion in the Senate. I'm also optimistic on the House. I know that some people are questioning that, but I'm optimistic on the House. Up here, we have one seat that used to belong to Don Young for 49 years, and we're optimistic that we can get that back to a Republican seat.

And so right now, we're holding our breath up here. We're doing our part. But I think you're going to see Republicans in charge because, again, you just have to look at the last four years, Brian. Are you better off the last four years than you were before with President Trump? And the answer is clearly no.

Whether you're an internationalist looking at what's happening across the globe, whether you're interested in energy, or whether you're just a senior going to the store to try and buy food, it's worse today than it was four years ago.

So Mitch Landrew is key spokesperson for the campaign, former governor. He is still optimistic about Harris's chances. Listen to how he describes their schedule, cut 10. The vice president and the entire team of us have been traveling to every swing state. I mean, ad nauseum.

I mean, if you go look at the schedule, the vice president was in three years. States yesterday, not just one, and then weeks before that have been aggressively going to all of the swing states. The point is that there is an issue that is bigger than whatever minor differences we may have about some policy agreements, and that is the protection of democracy. And I think that when you can say that you've got Bernie Sanders and Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney and 25 of the people that worked with Donald Trump all saying that, hey, he shouldn't be anywhere near the Oval Office, I think when you highlight that, I think it makes a big difference. What's your reaction?

You know, I I've heard this for years, and to me it's just nonsense. President Trump, there was no coup. There was no National Guard called in, Army called in. It's fear-mongering at its worth, and it's a rejection of reality in history. It just never happened, and it won't happen.

That's the only thing they hope they can leverage is that fiction. But the long story short, People see right through it. People, again, when they go to the store, when they fill up their gas tank, when they try and buy a house, when they're trying to pay off their student loans. They're thinking about those bread and butter issues, and those are the real issues that almost all Americans are thinking about.

So, what about Russia and the constant breaches of your borders in our air and international airspace? Are you seeing that? And we're watching North Korea is now sending troops into Ukraine to fight with Russia. China doing military exercises to blockade Taiwan. We hear about Russia breaching our airspace.

What are you seeing up in Alaska, Governor Dunlevy? Yeah, let me give you some perspective, Brian.

So, we're two and one-half miles from Russia, two and a half miles, 50 miles from the mainland, two and a half miles between two islands, one owned by the United States and one owned by Russia. Very, very close. We have flyovers constantly, and it's increased. Part of the reason, the theory behind that is that if Russia believes that America is weak, which if you look at the Middle East and what's happening around the world, it's not difficult for some to perceive that, they're going to test our defenses. We have the Chinese that claim that they're a near Arctic nation.

They have four going on five icebreakers. America's got two up here in Alaska. One is not even working. And so they look at this and they say to themselves, maybe this is an opportunity to flex our muscles. We also have the Koreans.

We're under the Korean North Korean missile umbrella. We have interceptors here in Alaska. And don't get me wrong, we have a very strong military up here. We're used to being and playing in this dangerous backyard as the main sport for North America. But When you have an administration in Washington that exudes weakness across the globe, you're going to have these outfits try and probe our defenses.

Again, I think if they had an opportunity to vote, they'd probably vote for Vice President Harris. Yes.

Because they know that once President Trump gets in, it's going to be a different ballgame. Right. Although she's from a middle class family, that could be intimidating. And according to Putin, she has an infectious laugh.

So he's having a great time with this matchup. Governor Mike Dunlevy, thanks so much. Hey, thanks for having me, Brian. Honest commentary, unique opinions. No agenda.

It's Brian Kilmead. The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmeade. I think Donald Trump has an edge. I would not count.

Kamala Harris out at this point, but I think he's got an edge because he's winning on all the major issues. I think he's had some very strong issues in swing states, doing the auto workers in Michigan, fracking in Pennsylvania, and tips, no tax on tips in Nevada. I think it's been a clever campaign in all those respects. And so I think he's got the edge. That is Mark Penn, Democratic strategist.

I just wanted to play that for Martha McCallum to get us off talking about this election. It's one point of view, Martha. Everyone's got one. We're subjected to the pollsters that let us know what's going on and people that tell us what's happening when we're not out on the trail ourselves. Martha, your reaction to a Mark Penn just says, great to see you.

You know, hi, Brian. It's great to be with you, as always.

Now we're inside of two weeks out. It's a super exciting time to be covering all of this. Every morning I seem to wake up to something that has popped into my inbox that explains how the polls are different this time. They're doing more text messaging. They're doing different kinds of outreach.

They're panicked because they don't know if they're right or wrong, and they could have gotten it wrong again this time.

So we'll see what happens on election night. But I always like listening to Mark Penn. I think he's a very straight shooter. He worked for Hillary Clinton's campaign. He's a longtime Democratic operative.

And yet I think he sees things very clearly and in an unbiased way.

So I appreciate his take. And I think he's right. I think that people can. Easily identifies several issues that they know Trump feels very strongly about it. And he said it yesterday at this Hispanic roundtable event that he did, where he said, Look, everyone knows where I stand.

I stood in the same place for the last 20 years. America first. I'm at national security. These are my issues. You know, everyone knows where I stand.

And then I look at the Hallie Jackson interview and I see Harris meandering. And I think a lot of people have a big question mark in their head still about where she stands. I want you to hear what Maria Shriver said yesterday. You're not, unfortunately. We have some predetermined questions, and I hopefully I'll be able to ask some of the questions that might be in your head.

I hope so.

So they're doing a they're doing a town hall, and if someone said, Can I ask a question? And she says, You're not. He goes, Because we have predetermined questions.

Now, Mark Penn said, We were able to have a successful Senate run as Hillary Clinton. We went on a listening tour. I would never have allowed that. Why would you have a town hall and let Maria Shriver have preexisting? It's not a town hall.

Just say you want to do an interview with Maria Shriver. Yeah. I mean, I sort of bemoan that the town hall environment has become very structured. And I think that a lot of, you know, I think that it would be good to get back to a format where there is a little bit more free reign. I always think of that moment with John McCain at the town hall where the woman stood up and said something derogatory about President Obama, who he was running against.

And he said, no, ma'am, that's not true. And, you know, those kind of organic moments we don't see all that much in these environments anymore. But yeah, I mean, that doesn't look, that's not a good look at all. But I mean, Hallie Jackson, and we'll play some of that after we get back from the break. Very similar to Brett Baer.

She just had follow-up questions. Absolutely. And they're not hard questions. But break down your healthcare plan. Tell you the truth in the debate, Trump hasn't talked about healthcare in three, four years.

I expect that was a bit of a, all right, it's important, but I have the framework of a plan. Got me. She wasn't looking for a gotcha. She's looking for an explain ya. Just explain.

This is an opportunity. If you're in controversy, give you an opportunity to talk. I'll have a follow-up question, and she can't do it. And I'm just wondering, what are they what are they doing? I mean, she's a smart, smart woman, law degree.

You know what I'm saying? It's a classic case of being over-managed, or maybe she's over-managing herself. And she really is so reluctant to stake out ground and say this is where I stand. You know, for instance, the transgender question that she was asked, it's been a successful advertising campaign. with that sound bite of her a couple of years back saying that she thinks that transgender operations for prisoners with taxpayer money is a good idea.

She, you know, lay down the law. Tell us what you think. It hasn't happened. He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Killmead.

So is it? Question of pragmatism, then, what concessions would be on the table? Religious exemptions, for example? Is that something that you would consider? I don't think we should be making concessions when we're talking about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about your own body.

To Republicans, like, for example, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, who would back something like this on a Democratic agenda, if in fact Republicans control Congress, would you offer them an olive branch? Or is that off the table? Is that not an option for you? I'm not going to engage in hypotheticals because we can go on with a variety of scenarios. Let's start with a fundamental fact.

A basic freedom has been taken from the women of America. the freedom to make decisions about their own body. And that cannot be negotiable. Which is that we need to put back in the protections of Roe V-Wade. And that is it.

But what if you can't do that? What if you can't get that passed and you want to save lives in Florida and in Texas and in Georgia? What do you do? I'm not going to go down that route. Rabbit hole.

with you right now. It's not a rabbit hole, really. I mean, it's something that really could happen. You're not going to put Roe v. Wade back.

Does anyone think the Senate's not going to Republicans? Yeah. So, I mean, come on. What do you think? No, you have to be realistic, and you have to have some sense of what your plan is.

Martha Callum here, by the way, great to be with you, Brian. Thank you. You know, you have to be realistic about what your plan is, and you have to say, I mean, the fact of the matter is, and I feel like this has never been clearly articulated by Republicans. And I know President Trump has tried to say, you know, it goes back to the states now, right? It goes back to the states.

So people closer to those decisions, it's a classic states' right argument. They're the ones who get to make those decisions about what the laws are in their own state. But this whole thing about, you know, women's bodies and allowing them to make their own decision, I just always go back to the little girl inside those bodies sometimes. And I wonder when these same, I would love to ask Vice President Harris.

So at what point does the baby girl's rights start to matter? I love it. I love it. How about this? Uh when can you hear the heartbeat?

Six weeks.

So six weeks. Say you can hear the baby uh a baby's heartbeat is six weeks. When do you consider that baby, a human being that should be allowed to be born. What would she say to that? I mean, I would love to hear the answer to that question.

But you know what she would here's my guess based on just watching her a lot, as we all have, is that she would say, that's between the woman and her doctor. That's between the woman and her doctor. It's not for me to decide. It's between the woman and her doctor.

Well, you're a woman. What do you think? You're a person, you're an American. When do you think? I think she would squirrel around it.

I think she would say, Look, you know, I am here to uphold the law. This is my role as President of the United States, and I respect. The decisions of the court, blah blah blah. What about religious exemptions?

So it's a, am I to understand this, unless I have it wrong? Was she saying no religious exemptions?

So, if you're a Catholic hospital, you have to do abortions. Yeah, that's not going to work. You know, we've been down this road before. Remember the Little Sisters of the Poor case? You cannot make a religious organization provide a benefit that goes against their faith.

And she always says on this issue, Brian, you can still have your deeply held beliefs. I'd love to know what her deeply held beliefs are. I still don't know anything. On this issue, we still don't know. And I just think that even if she were to say, You know, look, you have to be you know, even Europe has a 16-week cutoff.

I mean, there are many people who believe that that is a barbaric move at that level, at that time marker. But yeah, she just she's gonna bob and weave on it like she has. But I'd love to know her religious sh she's not stepping on anyone's deeply held religious beliefs and she's gonna have to respect that Catholic hospital.

So those things have to line up.

So I want you to hear what she said about another issue that she really doesn't weigh in on much. Haley Jackson Hallie Jackson should be given credit for this, but we still don't have an answer, Cut twelve. Do you believe that transgender Americans should have access to gender affirming care in this country? I believe we should follow the law. I mean, I think you're probably pointing to the fact that Donald Trump's campaign has spent tens of millions of dollars.

They're trying to define you on this. I'm asking you to define yourself, though. Just broadly speaking, what is your value? Do you believe they should have that access? I believe that that people, as the law states, even on this issue about federal law.

That is a decision that doctors will make in terms of what is medically necessary. I'm not going to put myself in the position of a doctor. Frankly, that's done. I thought it's very. That Hallie Jackson said, Define your value on that, because she's putting her own words back on her where she said, My values haven't changed, right?

So, what is your value? She's asking her on this issue.

Now, my only quibble with the way that it was phrased is that, you know, and she talks about the millions of dollars that Trump is spending on this ad, but the ad shows her words. It's a full sound bite question, and then the answer about transgender's rights to have. Gender-changing surgery as prisoners in the just in our penal system with taxpayer dollars.

So, I would love to hear her answer to that. Do you stand by what you said in that ad that you're complaining about? Do you still believe that? The other issue on this whole big subject is: should parents be able to block their child who's under the age of 18 from making this life-changing decision? And I would love to hear her answer on that as well.

It was a very broad question, and I think she was looking for her to reaffirm thinking for the LGBT community. But the two issues are either prisoners in taxpayer dollars or kids under 18. Do you what do you think Trump's answer to that is?

So that's a that's a it's a very good question. I mean, I think on the under 18 thing, he's clear. He would not allow a child you know, when you are Yeah. Under your parents' care, 18 years old. You know, we've seen so many kids say that this was a big mistake.

The parents get backed into these things by these. I'm sorry, but you know, crazy doctors, it's my opinion. Who are telling them that if you don't do this, your child's going to commit suicide. I mean, can you imagine? As a parent, a doctor saying that to you?

You better do this, or your child's going to kill themselves. I mean, it is so heartbreaking to me. I feel confident that President Trump would be on the side of allowing a parent to make that decision. And in terms of just in the penal system for prisoners, I think he's going to suggest they better wait and find private funding for that surgery after they get out. No way.

Yeah, I'd say no, a resounding no on both. And especially didn't get to the part in sports. Sports a big deal. What did they find out sixty different medals and placements were taken by transgender men, stopping women from placing or winning tournaments, trophies or titles? A little bit more because Kamala Harris didn't do anything yesterday.

About Joe Biden. We still don't know why, technically, we still don't know why Joe Biden is not the nominee. Remember, he was only off two or three points after that horrendous debate where he froze and looked like a mannequin. Cut fourteen. It was a bad debate.

People have bad debates. He is absolutely. That's the reason why you're here, and he's not. running for the top of the ticket.

Well, you'd have to ask him if that's the only reason why. What do you think? I am running for President of the United States. Joe Biden is not. And my presidency will be about Bringing A new generation of leadership to America that is focused on the work that we need to do to invest in the ambitions and aspirations of the American people.

So that's the boilerplate, right, at the end there that you hear in pretty much every answer that she gives. I sympathize with her answer on this. This is a rock and I don't know what the right answer to this question is. Either in her position, if she never saw anything, Did she ever see, you know, that's a weird answer, right? I never saw any of this behavior because I never spent time with him, right?

We did? No, of course we did. Think about all the times he was wandering around the stage looking for someone's hand to shake, falling, going up the stairs of Air Force One. I mean, all of these examples. But there is no good answer to this question because the only other route she could have taken was to go to Jill Biden and say, We need to talk.

There's a problem here. We got to work this out. Or go to the cabinet and say, I've seen too much of this. 25th Amendment. We need to have a serious conversation about this for the good of the country, if that was her option.

Or to go directly to him and say, Mr. President, you're slipping, and we need to talk about it. There's no evidence at all, and I think that if she loses this race, we're going to hear a lot of stories that give more detail to all of this. But I just think there's no good answer for her at this moment to that question.

Well, I mean, is it unbelievable that Nancy Pelosi, George Clooney, Barack Obama, all directly responsible, would technically have no answer to the question? What do you think she should have done? What do you think she should have done? What I have said is: Joe Biden called me up and says, I'm not going to run again. We're behind the scenes.

Everybody has good days and bad days. I'm sure there's days that you could come up to me and say, wow, she forgot Michigan yesterday when it came to battleground states. But I would absolutely say that President Biden did not think he could do a second term. As he was coming to the end of his first term, he didn't think he'd do the end of his second term. And I said, But then she's saying more than he's ever said.

And Remember, he hand-picked her. But he backed her. But by this time, she's your pick. But by this time, Martha, I need an answer. And like you said, go meet with Jill.

Guys, remember, Sure said I wouldn't have done anything different. Takes two days off, comes back and said, My administration will not be a second Biden administration term.

So that should have been. July. That should have been July. But you know what they think they're slow to realize? And he gave her the leeway for that.

He said, she's going to carve her own path. That was his way of saying, go ahead, go ahead. But you know what they didn't realize? Because they're in a bubble. They didn't realize how unpopular their administration was.

And the policies and the arrogance in which they implemented their policies. They said everyone's happy about the new Green Deal. Everyone's happy about the CHIPS Act. Everyone's happy about the infrastructure. Everyone's happy about the Recovery Pact.

They're going to love it when I mandated those vaccines and I demanded you wear masks and I looked out for your safety by keeping schools closed. Really? Okay. And you made me give money to Black Lives Matter, who wasted $90 million. And you told me we're a racist country.

Okay. And you told me that Georgia Law was Jim Crow 2.0. I didn't really much.

Okay, they love me. All right, my approved rating is 43%. Oh, the way you left Afghanistan, what happened in Ukraine, what's going on with Israel, you told the uproar on these campuses. It's a big deal. I'm just doing my job, time for re-election.

And then she realizes: not only do I have to separate myself, If I don't I'm going to lose. I can't talk about any of these programs. The other inherent problem there is that the, you know, Biden ran as a moderate, but then got pulled to the left on all the things that you just mentioned. She was already on the left.

So now if she tries to go back to the middle, it's too late at this point. If she tries to go back to being a moderate candidate, it's not going to be believable at this point.

So, and all the things that you mentioned are half of America saying that they think this is too liberal. It's not the direction that they want to go in. But, Brian, you know, I don't know if these polls are accurate. None of us will know until we get past the next two weeks. But half of the country disagrees with you on those things.

According to the polls. You mean they they like their administration? I'm just saying half of the you know, th it's a very s it's a razor thin margin from what we're seeing right now. If that's not true and if somebody wins in a landslide, well, then we'll have a different conversation. But at least at this moment, and I don't know, yeah, at least half the country feels that way.

But if she if that is correct, she'd say, I am so proud. of the EV mandate. I am so proud to push for the new Green Deal. I'm so proud to be able to do it. Maybe she should subsidize.

Maybe she should be saying all those things for her side. Maybe she would be doing better if she was owning the space that they were in. Because right now, she's all over the place talking about your hopes and aspirations, and people don't have anything to grab onto. Like, who are you? What is it?

Where am I getting here? I'm so proud to bring 8 million illegals, many of which I know nothing about. Here. I'm so proud of it. I'm so proud to undo those.

Dozens of Trump-era crackdowns on illegal immigrants at the border. I'm so proud that that fence is rusting in the desert rather than standing up, blocking, and parallel. No, I mean, that's not, you know, if you were coaching her and you would say, you know, you need to embrace the future of America, immigration, you know, they're showing you all the ugly things. There are a few ugly things, and we're going to fix those holes. But, you know, there's an overwhelmingly good impact of having more people come into the country.

I mean, these aren't my thoughts. I'm just saying if you're it's more specific. At least you're in a fact-based world. You've got to own something. But if I say what you just said, at least I'm in a fact-based world.

I'm acknowledging there are 8 million people here, and I'm saying it's great. But don't just acknowledge they're not here and say that I've prosecuted transnational gangs in 2012. I know. I mean, think about those people. I always go, my mind goes back to Chicago, to the city council meeting when all of those residents of Chicago stood up, many of them black, many of them Hispanic, some of them white, and said, Why are these people eating up all of our services?

You know, why are they sleeping in our schools? Why my kids can't go play on the field they usually play on? And my mind just goes back to them all the time. I think, this is people's reality. This is what they're living every day.

You cannot tell them that it's not happening, and that's why she's in a box. When we come back more with Martha McCown, we'll find out what's on her show and then ask her how she feels about General Kelly, General Mattis, and General Milley coming out and saying Trump likes Hitler. Giving you everything you need to know. You're with Brian Kilmead. Information you want, truth you demand.

This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Hitler did some good things, too, and of course. If you know history, um again I think he's lacking in that, but if you know what his you know him was all about, um it'd be it'd be pretty hard to make an argument that he did anything good. What would you say? It was very hard.

What did you say, Allison? If you know history. Oh, if you know history, it's hard to imagine Hitler did anything good.

So obviously. I feel the same way. General Kelly talking about conversations he had behind the scenes with President Trump, and he felt compelled to tell the Atlantic magazine that, Martha McAllamir, your show starts at three. Imagine you're going to discuss some of this. Mm-hmm.

And your thoughts about Kelly coming forward now.

Well I I'm sure he has his reasons. I think that President Trump would say, well, I fired all those guys and that's why they're doing this. They have bruised egos and now they want to drudge up things that we said that were said in sort of in the office while we were discussing things.

So I I think it's unfortunate, honestly. I think it's a little unseemly um at this stage of the game. But I'm sure they have their they have their reasons and uh They have freedom of speech.

So, you know, I mean, I think most people, honestly, I don't think they're going to change a single person's mind with this issue. I think that. President Trump is a very unique Man, a unique operator. He says things and does things in a way that are uniquely him. I think he has to be judged by his actions rather than these comments in a lot of ways.

I think that the person who said, and I can't remember who said it originally, but you have to take him seriously but not literally, is the approach that people need to take with him for, you know, whatever they decide is their ballgame. But he's a unique historic figure. There's no doubt about it. This is what Trump's people said back. Trump said this in a private conversation Trump said in a private conversation in the White House, according to two people who heard him say this, people who were totally loyal to him that follow orders.

This is absolutely false. Pfeiffer wrote in an email, President Trump never said this.

So the quote was, you know, so I have a few things to say. Number one, do I want everything I say in a private conversation public? I don't think anybody listening to me does. Number two, every time you bring up Hitler, just know what's next is bad. Number th number three is General Kelly and General Mattis are playing politics.

They swore they'd never do it. That's why they got out of it. If they didn't like him and they didn't, they should have gotten out early. Instead, they sat there and undermined him they thought for the good of the country, which to me is pretty arrogant because the country voted the other guy in, not you. I mean, I I think that General Mattis, as you said, has stayed quiet for a very long time.

And I think that history Is on the side of those who don't insert themselves in these kinds of moments. But honestly, I think that you know, doesn't matter. Yeah, I just think these guys feel like they're doing the right thing. But you can see that Trump is vehemently disagreeing and saying that these are people of bruised egos, and that's why they're lashing out. And as you see from that comment, they say it was never said.

Is this the October Surprise? We'll find out. Watch the real story today at 3 p.m. Eastern Time. Thanks, Brian.
