From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmead. Hi, everyone. Thanks so much for being here. Brian Kill Me Cho coming your way.
We're going to leave with Michael Waltz. He's got one of the most important jobs literally in the world, and he's getting sent to take over. Yesterday, a letter of Collaboration was put out between the two administrations: one incoming, one outgoing.
So, his counterpart, Jake Sullivan, and he, I'm sure, I hope has been briefing Congressman Waltz about what he's going to be walking into. And Mark Rute, the NATO general secretary, is going to be with us. He's just taking over now. We're going to bring back that interview they did on Fox and Friends. It's got a real impact when you talk about what's happening over in Israel and what's happening over in Ukraine.
So, before we get to Mike, let's get to the big three.
Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three, being up against a narrative that we weren't doing anything or we were afraid to have interviews is completely bullshit and also like took hold a little bit. And we just gave us another thing we had to fight back for that Trump never had to worry about. Yeah, but just do interviews next time. What are you talking about?
Self-reflection and delusion. That's what I'm hearing from Kamala Harris and her crew as they look at their hit and their misses, which added up to losing all. Seven battleground states. Number two. We got a mass number of people, millions of people, who will get a final order and be ordered removed.
If we don't do it, what is the option? Let them stay? Because if you're letting them stay, you'll never fix the border. And Tom Holman will fix the border. Trump team is already impacting borders in America and their neighbors, which means for illegals here, they are going to be in trouble.
There's Democratic resistance, but I think this administration has got the experience and the legal team to push back successfully this time. Number Let me be clear. If Hezbollah or anyone else breaks the deal and poses a direct threat to Israel, and Israel retains the right to self-defense consistent with international law. There it is, President Biden. We don't have peace, but we have a cease.
That's a ceasefire over in Lebanon. Why I think this helps Israel more than Hezbollah and spills more trouble for Iran and Hamas 54 days until a new sheriff hits the Middle East. Congressman Michael Waltz, the incoming National Security Advisor, I think you're still in the Armed Services Committee in Congress, or did you officially resign? Yes, hi, Brian. No, I sent the governor and speaker my intent to resign on january twentieth when the new administration takes effect.
So technically, I'm still on those committees and and we'll swear into the new Congress.
So first off, congratulations to our radio audience. You're really valuable. You're always helping us out. We appreciate it. Hopefully, that'll continue.
Can you tell us how the cooperation's been between the Biden team and your team? Look, it's we don't agree on every issue, obviously, but we are certainly keeping each other informed. They are keeping us informed. We did not, as I've previously said, know about the extension of the ATACMs. That was fairly soon after the election, but we have been keeping each other informed since then.
And I think it's important for our adversaries out there to not see this as an opportunity to not think they can play one administration off against the other. We are one America, one fight. Again, we don't agree on everything, but this is not a moment that they think should think Uh that they could take advantage of. I shouldn't call you a congressman. I guess I usually call you a congressman.
So, Mike, I'm a little thrown.
So, Mike, let me ask you this. Are you getting your high security briefings, like the Presidential Daily Brief? Is it coming to you guys too? It is. It is, and to the appropriate people as they get named.
So we are seeing that level of intelligence. And again, there's cooperation in place. We had a discussion about this ceasefire agreement before it went in. But again, there's one president at a time. President Biden is the president.
We have a president-elect. We don't agree on all things, but there is coordination and cooperation.
So you got a 60-day truce. The Israelis withdraw from Lebanon. Hezboll pulls back to the Latani River, which they were supposed to do anyway. Right.
So now you've got to get 60 to 70,000 people back in their homes in northern Israel, and then we've got to see how long this is going to hold. From what you can tell us, how much of Hezbollah has been decimated to the point where the Lebanese army can start stepping forward again because they were clearly a junior partner?
Well, look, remember, there was a lot of pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu to not take the gloves off with Hezbollah. That was Iran's, forgive the pun, but that was their Trump car. That was the barrel at Israel's head. That's what, you know, the cavalry for Hamas down in the south. And Bibi went on offense anyway.
The Pager and Walkie-Talkie operation, which was absolutely brilliant. The targeted airstrikes, the going after their finances and some of their financial facilities, and then the limited incursion in the South. With the Israeli military, and that was intended to take down the miles and miles of tunnels that they would have used to invade Israel and also the rocket sites that were hitting Israeli homes. Hezbollah has been decimated. The spoiler for any type of agreement and the spoiler for Lebanon at all has always been Iran.
But now Iran is naked and exposed because of the strikes there.
So I think plus Uh, President Trump coming in has led all sides to come to the table. Look, in fairness, the administration, the current administration, has been working this for a while, but all of those things coming together, and plus what we're calling the Trump effect, which has moved everything from markets to people don't want to suddenly deal, I think has led to this. And the important part. Is not just in Lebanon. The Lebanese military hopefully will be empowered and emboldened.
The French are working with them as well to fill that space while Iran and Hezbollah's on their back foot. But also, Hamas is even further isolated. And so hopefully, we will see some movement in that direction as well. Michael Herzog, the Israeli ambassador, said this about a possible deal with Saudi Arabia before you even get to Washington, Cut 7. The window for such a deal is still open.
The Saudis have some requirements, things that they need politically. And I'm hopeful that this could be done. The reason people are talking about this transition period is that there are better opportunities to pass it in the Senate.
So the window is open, and we're hopeful.
So he thinks you can get 67 votes to get a treaty where you guys, where America guarantees their security. Treaty obligated. If they're attacked, we attack them, whoever attacked them, like we do with the Philippines and we do with NATO.
So are you comfortable with this? Are they checking with you on this treaty? And do you believe that this Senate is more apt to pass something from this President? You know, I mean, I'm Brian, I'm not going to dive into Senate politics right now. It will be a unique period between I mean, this is just a statement of fact between the sixth and the twentieth with a a Democrat president and a Republican-led sworn-in Senate.
However, some of those, there are mixed opinions on some of those things. That the Saudis and others may need. And I think a question is, could we get a better deal in the next administration? And I'll just have to leave it at that. When you said that you weren't briefed about the ATACM restrictions being lifted, does that mean you don't think it was a good move?
Well, look, I don't what I don't think is a good move is an endless escalation ladder.
Now things are going global. North Korea is getting involved. They could get even more involved.
South Korea is obviously not very happy about that. We're going deeper into Russia. And as I've you know, I've said this for years. What does success look like? What is the end state in the line with American interests?
what is all of this driving towards? And then for all of our veterans out there, it's called ends, ways and means. What is the objective? What is the strategy to achieve the objective? And then what are the resources you need?
All Washington talks about is billions of dollars. and throwing more and more at what has now turned into a World War One style protracted stalemate with literally a meat grinder on the Eastern Front.
So what I think has us Uncomfortable, and the president has certainly shared his view: how does this end? This can't be an endless war with these kinds of casualty figures and this kind of death and destruction.
So, how do we get people to the table? Who's at that table? And what's the framework for some type of agreement? As you know, if Ukraine had their drothers, there would be no war. There's only one country responsible for this.
It is Russia. President Trump had his brothers. I mean, again, I'll remind everyone: Putin invaded under President Bush in Georgia, invaded under Obama in Crimea and eastern Ukraine, and invaded under Biden. President Trump has been clear, and I believe this to my core, he had deterrence in place, and Russia wouldn't dare, and they didn't. And oh, by the way, the javelin missiles and everything Ukraine did have on day one when deterrence failed was provided by President Trump.
He provided lethal aid to them when Obama and the Europeans refused. After the first invasion.
So Europe should have been going to 100%, 2% of GDP for their defense spending in 2014 after that first invasion, and that's when they committed to do it. That's the conversation we just had with the NATO Secretary General. But you had 23 countries now doing it. 10 years later.
Well, but you really have to pick at those numbers, Brian, because some of them are projections, some of them are promises. You know, we saw the Pentagon and how it's kind of shifted its accounting around. And oh, we found $6 billion more dollars. I mean, there's reports of the Germans provided tanks that were so bad, the Ukrainians gave them back. How did they value that contribution at the lemon level or at the new replacement level?
That kind of thing we need to dig into the details. How impressive is it that Ukraine is now saying, I know you're running out of weapons, so just give us the money, we'll make our own?
Well, I think that's look, their revitalizing their defense industry, which was completely based on old Soviet equipment, now needs to be based on being compatible with ours, is a step in the right direction for all European countries to revitalize their defense industry and step up in their defense.
So when they now have Yemenis, Hououthi rebels fighting for Russia, does that tell you that Russia is weak?
Well, I look, his manpower, I mean, he's literally feeding people into a meat grinder, number one. Number two, he is clearly trying to expand the scope and the scale of this war. And again, this is why before this thing goes completely global, we need to contain it. And if we're escalating to de-escalate or if we're escalating, it needs to be in some type of strategic framework. As long as it takes, it's not a strategy.
So we're talking to Mike Waltz.
So, Mike, how do you see your job? I mean, I know you know the job. Like, now that you're doing it out for a few weeks, could you describe what is your job description?
Well, it's essentially pulling together. When you hear the term in Washington, the interagency, there's all kinds of agencies involved in our national security, obviously. DHS in the homeland and the border, the Defense Department, the State Department, the intelligence agencies, of which there are 18, by the way, that roll up under. Nominee Tulsi Gabbard under the DI. I pull all of those together, I get their input, I present options to the president, we work through his decision.
And then, what I think has been lacking in the past is if people in his administration disagree with that decision, they slow rolled or obfuscated. And that's not just an insult to him. It's in my view, and I feel very strongly on this, it's an insult to the 70, 80 million Americans who put him there. It's not like he's playing hide the ball or switching what he wants to do on the campaign trail for when he gets into office. And so it's then the execution piece, Brian.
And when the president of the United States, the commander-in-chief, makes a decision direction we're going, it's getting everybody moving in the same direction. How do you? That's really the crux of the job. How would you characterize your relationship with President Trump? You know how intense he gets?
You know how direct he gets? And you know that Reince Priebus had the job before, Mulvaney had the job before, Kelly had the job before.
Well, those were all Chiefs of Staff. Those are all H.R. McMaster. And so, look, you have to be your opinion is one opinion. And as I've said to the team, Congressman Mike Waltz, kind of CEO of my own operation, is or independent contractor, however you want to describe it, is done.
Now I am part of, you know.
So Team Trump, 100%. I work for him. I have an opinion, but so do many others. Mine is to corral that, make those clear, make those known. And he certainly has his.
This is his second term, not his first term. He has very clear ideas of what worked, what didn't work. And what I love about him, Brian, is his instincts are just so phenomenal. And so it's, again, it's channeling that in a way that the interagency can then implement. And the relationship is strong, but he has a lot of relationships and he relies on them.
And I think some of my predecessors, not all, but some, tried to kind of conform him to this existing Washington DC system. I think it's the other way around. We need to conform his administration to his style and how he makes decisions. I often talk about the Space Force. A lot of people didn't want to do it.
The generals were dragging their feet. He fired some folks. Uh everybody made fun, Brian. Remember the the Netflix? You know, series about it.
But, you know, look now, just a few years later, how right he was, how right he was on the Abraham Accords, how right he was on energy policy on the border, on the pivot to China. And then it's putting meat on those bones and those instincts.
So we didn't, he doesn't know the Mexican leader, but the Mexican leader came out yesterday and said, I heard about your tariffs. We're going to tariff you back. Trudeau picked up the phone and called instead. How do you handle Mexico?
Well, that's going to be I mean, that's going to be Secretary of State nominee, Marco Rubio. That's going to be Stephen Miller. That's that's the border, that's fentanyl, that's trade, it's It's Mexico and their southern border. We had policies in place that worked. And we'll establish that relationship.
We'll make those priorities clear. I mean, we have to be good neighbors. with each other. And when you have cartels that control, according to some estimates, huge swaths of the country, including our border, that's just unacceptable. Congressman Mike Waltz, National Security Advisor, congratulations.
I know you're going to have a busy Thanksgiving, but have a great one. Thanks, Mike. Thanks, Brian. Appreciate it. 1-866-408-7669.

So I'm. I'm looking at the ceasefire right now, and this is what I think is positive. What positive is I think the IDF needs to recalibrate too. You just can't fight three wars at the same time and not have pay a toll. Number two is Hamas is now isolated.
They had a distraction. October 7th, they do the attack. October 8th, Hezbollah rockets.
So immediately they have two fronts and have to evacuate. Thousands from their northern part of their country. And then they had Sinwar and they had their plot and the plan and they we couldn't find where the tunnels were. And then the world is saying you better not hit back and there's so many people here. How are you going to get humanitarian aid in?
And they have totally fixed it. And sometimes, I think this is an example.
Sometimes you have to fight in order to get peace. And this is a case in point, and you got to win. And they have blown up so many tunnels, killed so many leaders from the Pagers September 14th when they exploded in all those leaders' pockets. And then they take out Nasarella, and then they blow up all those tunnels and they get rid of the weapons, and up comes the Lebanese fighting force. The other thing is.
And I don't think it can be overstated. Is that they said yesterday that Joe Biden's been slowing down weapon shipments. They talk about the attack helicopters, and then what they know is happening. In a month and a half, this is all going to change. You know who knows that?
Netanyahu knows that. We know also does. Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran. Things are going to change rapidly for Israel. A talk show that's real.
This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Hey, welcome back, everybody.
So, there's a new sheriff in town when it comes to NATO, and they know about President Trump. In fact, the head of NATO, his name is Mark Route, he has already gone down to Mar-a-Laglo and met with President Trump, and he knows that first and foremost, they're going to be talking about. where they go from here in Ukraine because Russians have certainly picked it up a notch. At the same time, we have weapons flowing in at a bigger rate to Ukraine, and we now have the ATACMs restrictions released. We just talked to Mike Waltz about that as a national security advisor about to be for Trump.
He's like, we were not briefed on lifting those restrictions. I said, were you against that? And he came back and said, well, I j you know, where are we going with this? We just keep escalating. We end up in World War I again, because it looks more like World War I.
So here's my interview with the Uh with the new With the new NATO Secretary General. Mark Rutte. After more than a year of fighting, Israel and Hezbollah have agreed to a sixty day ceasefire. The plan is intended to be permanent. It is not intended to be permanent, and troops will be scaled back over the course of sixty days, with the U.
S. and France ensuring that both sides follow the terms. But Israel maintains the right to defend themselves against any violations. NATO General Secretary Mark Ruta joins us right now. Mr.
Secretary, thanks for joining us. You at first blush your take on the sixty day plan.
Well, obviously, Brian, I welcome it. But let's not be naive. Hezbollah is still there. Iran is still backing Hezbollah.
So it is good that it is there. But now it has to be implemented. Let's see what happens, whether they will keep to the deal, the Hezbollah. People. Russians have weapons to the Houthis.
The Russians were found to have a ton of new weapon deliveries in the Hezbollah tunnels. Why?
Well, obviously this shows that all these conflicts are now getting interconnected. We see the North Koreans, Iran and China getting more and more involved in Ukraine, backing up to Russians, the Russians more and more involved in the region we are now discussing.
So this means that we are really facing a global conflict and this is posing a threat not only to us here in Europe, but also to the Americans and of course to Japan and South Korea, because Russia is paying for it, for example, by missile technology, and these missiles can then reach the American mainland. And that's a real risk, and we have to be very much aware of this. Absolutely, and the more Lebanon has control, the better it is for the people in the region. Let's go over to Ukraine. We know the Russians are on a big push.
They're seizing more Ukrainian territory of late than they have over the last six months. What are they doing? Are they trying to get in position, in your view, to get to talks with the maximum leverage? Or do they have something else, just a total takeover of Ukraine? Mr President, that could still be the case, and they get more and more backing.
As I said, Iran is involved now, China is involved doing dual use deliveries, but I'm the most worried, of course, about the North Koreans and the fact that Russia is paying for this, and the technology Russia is now paying in return for North Korean support is a direct threat to all of us.
So what we have to do is to make sure that whenever a deal is reached, that we have a good deal, and that deal should start from a position of strength, peace through strength, to quote a famous American politician whom I spoke to last Friday. And I think that's crucial, that we have a good deal, because the whole world will be watching what type of deal will be struck between Russia and Ukraine when it comes to it. I was able to talk to the President-elect last night, and I asked him what his message is to you. He says hello, and you guys get along great. He said, when will Europe equalize the payments toward the war with the payments of the U.S.?
And is Europe prepared for an all-out war with Russia? Because that's where this is heading. And who is going to get Putin to the negotiating table? First off, on the first thing. Who's going to get Putin to the negotiating table?
Do you plan on doing that?
Well, clearly, first of all, we have to make sure that Ukraine is in a position of more strength than they are at the moment, so that a deal can be struck which is favourable not to the Russians and therefore to China, North Korea and Iran, because they all will be watching. I mean, take Xi Jinping. He'll be very much interested who comes out on top of this, and if it is the Russians that will pose a threat long term.
So we have to make sure that Ukraine is in a position where they can start these talks and obviously then we have to take it step by step, make sure that Putin comes on board. And to your other point, President Trump is right. He was right that we had to spend more on defence on this part of NATO. We have done so in the meantime. We still have to do more.
This is what I discussed in Friday. But at the same time, we also have to make sure that collectively we keep Ukraine in the fight and prevent the Russians from getting what they want. Yeah. Do you plan on getting Vladimir Putin to the table? Are you going to make that offer, or do you want President Trump to do it?
Is that on the table? Uh I would argue that, first of all, we have to make sure that Ukraine is in a position of strength, and that we have to do collectively. And to make sure that whenever it comes to talks, that Ukrainians can discuss the future of their country from this position of strength.
So that has to be Ukraine to the table, but they will only do that when they feel that they can get something out of that. And at this moment, they're really on the back foot. Then, obviously, President Trump is right that in the meantime, not only within the alliance, the Europeans have to do more. He pushed for that in the past successfully. And we still have to do more in the future, and particularly when it concerns the fight in Ukraine and the support for Ukraine.
I also think on this issue, it is the Europeans who have to step up, but obviously we will still need the help of the US and its formidable defense industrial base. And I think, I guess, no, I'm pretty sure certain even that when we do all of this, that collectively, President Trump, myself, others, we will be. Able to get Putin to the table because he will sense that ultimately it is in his interest not to continue the fight. But he has to feel this. He has to sense that it's hard to believe, Mr.
Secretary, that it's hard to believe that he's losing a thousand people a day and feels like he's winning. And number two is now they've got the Houthi rebels fighting there, they've got the North Koreans fighting there. At what point does NATO say, I can't let Ukraine fight alone? Is NATO considering putting troops in if these other countries keep coming in to help Russia? Mr President, I think that it would not be wise to do that.
You do not want to get in a direct confrontation with allies being a party to the conflict. I don't think that is wise. What we need to do is to make sure that the Ukrainians can take that fight forward, can make sure that they get in a position of strength whenever it gets to talks, and that means that we have to supply them with the weapons they need to do that, to get in a position of strength whenever the talks start, but then clearly we have to make sure that the deal being struck is a good deal and that we do not give in to Iran, China, North Korea and Russia. It is really crucial for the future of all of us to make sure that that doesn't happen. And Ukraine is now making their own weapons with aid from NATO, which just shows their ability to adjust.
They're fighting valiantly. This is something NATO needs to be successful here. Mr. Secretary, thanks so much. It's an interesting time to take that job over.
You certainly have your hands full. I appreciate you joining us today. Absolutely. I look forward to it. I'm going to work with you and the new President, and lots to do.
That was so nice of him to join us this morning. I mean, there was a time where NATO would just say, well, you know, I got to do PBS and I'm going to do UN television and maybe Anderson Cooper and Christine Omnipour. And now they're realizing they got to come on with us. And he's just great. And he knows he's got to deal with President Trump.
You don't criticize President Trump like Merkel did and then expect to get a deal done. Not that he's thin-skinned, but if you don't want to deal with him, okay, you're not dealing with the U.S. It's not a matter of you not liking Donald Trump. The U.S. is what he represents.
So the Russians continue to demonstrate that they want to get as much territory as possible before Trump takes over, according to the Institute for Study of War. Their foreign intelligence director, Sergei Narshikhin, claims on the 26th yesterday that Russia is open to negotiations but stated that their categories reject any freezing of the current front lines or the creation of a demilitarized zone. The Kremlin has repeatedly demanded the Ukraine relinquish areas of four Ukrainian regions, and the Kremlin has illegally annexed that they had illegally annexed, and the Russians' forces do not currently occupy. There's no way you could ever agree to that.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces recently regained lost positions in three separate cities. They remain in Kursk, and now they have ATACM hitting them deep in Russian territory. And the Russians, even though they got a population of 156 million and they're going against a country with between 20 and 30 million, they have to bring in literally tribesmen from Yemen and North Korean, indigent North Korean soldiers who have not fought in a war in 60, 70 years using the most impoverished nation's artillery. They're out. and then using other soldiers because they're losing a thousand a day.
Now they will win a win of attrition. But I think that if you get these Ukrainians weapons, they fight like a Western force. They still put these Russians are still putting their generals in front and they still have no strategy. They put their prisoners on the lines.
So they're the ones that are going to get killed first.
So, NATO's got their hands full, but they got to show they could stand strong, believe me.
Now they got to get a message. My plan. The Brian Kill Me Doctrine, which I'm surprised hasn't got more momentum as of yet. I'm going to give it to Pete Hagseth. Hope he takes it.
Is it We expand our military industrial base. Not only do we grow our military responsibly, But our allies, France, England does a lot, England, Germany. Treaty obligated to be somewhat limited. Japan. S Vietnam not Vietnam, but South Korea, the Philippines.
They begin the Taiwan. They purchase our military hardware and technology at a friends and family discount. We produce it. It's for profit. They learn to use it.
We mainten it. We get paid for that. And they learn to defend themselves. To me, it's the ultimate. If you just watch what Israel did, if they sat on the sidelines and tried to do a deal with Hamas, a deal with Hezbollah, a deal with Iran, that every day they'd be in peril because they're dealing with evil regimes, evil terrorists.
Instead, they said, I will you hit us, I'm going to wipe you out, I will destroy you and the tunnels that you dug with the money that we gave, and then we're going to take your benefactor, we're going to wipe out their radar, take out their missile defense and degrade their nuclear program.
Now you have a chance at peace. That's what you have to do to Russia. Show their vulnerability, expose their ineptness, drain their economy. And then let them know they can't invade again. See how you do that.
This is Brian Kilmeichelle. Back with your calls in a moment. 1-866-408-7669. Also, when we come back, another Hollywood. Veteran, who you all know, decides to go to another country.
and rip America. Don't move. Diving deep into today's top stories, it's Brian Kilmead. A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmeade.
Not to run for president again in 2028. Please don't. I can't really speak for governor of California. Californians seem to support her significantly. We haven't yet been able to measure what that support looks like after this current run she just had.
That may be the only thing that she, I guess, may make sense for her to consider. But another shot at the presidency, I hope she doesn't. And if she is relying on those same advisors that advised her this cycle, that's not who I would listen to. That is so diplomatic. And now her woman name is, this is Theron Bond, a Democratic strategist.
And this is the point, and I keep saying this, but it's sad. Kamala Harris didn't get the memo. This is the only time you're really going to get the poll. Parties being honest about what they did right and wrong. And then they got to get into their corner, start rebuilding, and get ready for the midterms or off-year elections like what's happening in Virginia.
So you have someone just saying what we all know: she's not a good candidate. She doesn't know what she stands for. She was never able to define herself. I love when they say, well, she didn't know how to separate herself from Joe Biden. She didn't know how to separate herself from the person who ran in 2020.
She did nothing to define herself. And it's America's fault that we didn't get a chance to know her. For example, George H.W. Bush, when he ran for president, did anyone really have to know after being introduced to him? When Al Gore ran for president, did you really have to be introduced to him?
He's supposed to be a continuation of Bill Clinton without the personal issues that he had, even though he was stiff and untalented as a speaker and communicator. We knew what he stood for, Mike Pence. When Mike Pence ran for office, did you really say, well, the problem with Mike Pence is he couldn't disseminate himself from Trump? No, vice presidents are in the TV every day if they choose.
So you have. Democrats yesterday talked to donors and say how proud they are that they raised over one billion dollars.
So they wanted to be honest about what went wrong with the campaign. And Kamala Harris says, I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying in the fight. What fight? What are you fighting about?
Listen to this, Cut nineteen. We raised an historic one point four billion dollars, almost one point five billion dollars. The outcome of this election, obviously, is not what we wanted. It is not what we worked so hard for. But I am proud of the race we ran.
So, look, we still have a lot to fight for, okay? Really? What are you fighting for? You didn't tell us what you did wrong yet. The reason why they lost is people were tired of the smugness.
They're tired of the DEI. They're tired of the political correctness. They're tired of the spending on green energy and green technologies. And we're not doing anything besides putting eight terminals for electric cars, supplementing electric cars, telling us we got to buy them. while at the same time denying things that we knew.
That inflation was not transitory, that it was at nine percent, that Bidenomics sucked, that it wasn't effective, that our foreign policy was in epic fail. I mean, come on. What would you have done different?
So Jen O'Malley weighs in on Pod Save America, a very friendly area. I believe she was also in the Obama administration. She ran things for Harris, Cut 22. being up against a narrative that we weren't doing anything or we were afraid to have interviews i is completely bullshit and also like took hold a little bit and we just gave us another thing we had to fight back for that Trump never had to worry about. What is she talking about?
Yeah, because Trump did Trump did Adversarial interviews. He did interviews that were lifestyle-like on the podcast, went into enemy territory constantly, did it as president. She didn't do anything like that. In fact, we waited first from July until after the DNC. She said, after the DNC and before the debate, then I'll do a couple of interviews.
But it's the wr it's the wrong narrative that she wouldn't do any interviews. She went in and did Brett Baer, gave him 10 minutes and showed up 20 minutes late, had a huge attitude, and act like she did us a big favor. I actually believe Elon Omar was right. She said a huge mistake. Combining with Liz Cheney.
Liz Cheney's now popular with Republicans. She's known as a conservative. She still is to this day. There's no way she would have agreed with almost anything Kamala Harris would do. And the dad's associated with the Bush era that the Middle Eastern thinks was his idea, the Iraq war and the war on terror.
So no one asked her to combine with an unpopular Republican. Just because that Republican Was against Trump. It was a dumb move. Just admit it. I mean, that would be something where we made a bad move.
We thought Liz Cheney was more popular, or whatever we thought. But this is this is to me The craziest assessment yet. Cut twenty-four. When people learned more about her, understood what she stood for, where she came from and what her vision was, they responded well to that and they responded in a favorable way, especially in contrast to a point of view that Donald Trump will be worse. And I think that's playing out right now.
Well, that was not true. By the way, playing out right now? His approval date rating for his transition is 59%. Real quick, it's cut 23. We would do an interview.
The questions were small and processy and about like they were not informing a voter who was trying to listen to learn more. Do you believe? I got to get you a team. Do you believe this? She's blaming the questions as to processy.
Meanwhile, they're telling what they can and can't talk about, and they're like trying to overly produce everything before she's even on the air. But you can ask me any question I want. For example, if I'm selling a book, if I want to talk about Teddy and Booker T. You could say, what's a book about? Or you could say, History is overrated.
Whatever you say, I'm telling you about the book. Whatever you wanted to, you can ask me what you want. I'll have a word and then I'm going my direction. If the questions are too simple, get out of your bubble and go somewhere else. You got hard questions and 60 minutes edited to make you look smart.
No joke. From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Kilmead. All right, from 48th and 6th in Midtown Manhattan, we're in 24 hours. We're going to get a huge parade for Thanksgiving.
Sadly, it's going to pour, but people still show up. I know, you just walking down the street last night. I literally had to walk in the street, I'm not complaining. Because it's tourists and it's great for all the businesses. But I'm I literally had to walk in the street to get to the to get to the subway to get to the train.
But I had to walk in the street because there was no room on the sidewalk. And now they got this great idea in New York City to put a bike lane right by the to right by the curb.
So if for one minute You might just say, there's the curb, there's the street, let me look at traffic, and don't look at the bikes, you die. More on that later. Mike Tannebaum is going to be with us a little bit later. New York football has been an epic disaster. He is a former executive with the Dolphins, with the Jets.
Now you see him on ESPN. He's bound with the task of getting the Giants, excuse me, the Jets, a new general manager and coach. I just want to get his perspective on how you do that and what does he think about the games tomorrow. Robert Holden, the New York City Councilman Democrat in Queens, who has stood up and said it's time to cooperate when it comes and get rid of Sanctuary City policy. I give Democrats a lot of credit for doing that.
I want more to do it. Richie Torres hasn't gone that far, but is close. He is from the Bronx. Adam Bowler is standing by, founder and CEO of Rubicon Founders, an entrepreneur in the healthcare profession, but he was all part of the Abraham Accords, former negotiator with the Doha Agreement, with the Taliban, and all that stuff. Adam, your thoughts about this ceasefire, which is supposed to last, what, 60 days?
That has the IDF out of out of Lebanon, Lebanese army in control, and hopefully get the Israelis back in the northern part of their country. About sixty thousand men are forced to evacuate. I like the agreement, Brian. I like the concept of it because it lets Israel focus its resources on Iran, on the situation in Gaza and getting our Americans back home. That's a good thing.
If we can get our Americans back home out of Gaza, that's going to be the key. Hamas has never had the IDF has never been able to focus on Gaza because within one day of the October 7th attack, they'll be getting shelled by Hezbollah and who knows what Iran was up to. This is different now. It's different also. I mean, look, it's no one of the questions and I saw President Biden announcing it yesterday.
And one of the reporters as he was going out said, sir, What's different this time? And I couldn't really hear his response, but I'll tell you what went through my head. is what's different is who was just elected President of the United States. And you're seeing some really good things come out of it because they'd love to they don't want to deal and they want to show flexibility to President Trump before he comes in. And interestingly enough, he comes in in fifty four days.
So right under the sixty days, there's a reason for that too.
So here's what Michael Herzog said, the Israeli Ambassador to the U.S., cut five. We believe that the ceasefire deal with Lebanon will apply a lot of pressure on Hamas. Hamas has been really betting on a regional escalation, Israel being dragged to a long war with Fizballa and a war with Iran. And now that we have a ceasefire in Lebanon in place and Iran is deterred, we hope that Hamas will reach a conclusion that time is not on. on its side and will ultimately agree to do a hostage deal.
That is our focus right now. Adam, what do you hear about the hostages? We got seven Americans there. We hear there's under fifty ala uh alive. But do you think they is there any one person with control of them all?
Or are they all with different terror groups? I believe their setup is a combination of things. I think some are Hamas. You've got some that are with Jihad. And then you have some, just like the Israeli soldiers that found in that unbelievable operation where they freed a number of hostages, they're in private homes.
Because I don't think all of them are in Tulsa.
So you probably have a situation of the seven. Man, I hope to God that all seven are alive. I won't tell you that I think that's the case. I hope that's the case. But they're in different places.
And but we can still get half of them back for sure. How much stronger would your hand be right now dealing with Iran, being that they're Missile defense has been blown up, their radar has been eliminated from Syria and Iraq, and now we understand parts of their nuclear programs destroyed. And now you see Hezbollah and Hamas no longer watching their back. How much stronger is your would your Would your hand be in negotiations? Super strong.
I mean, you're in a situation right now where, and this is my belief, is The next steps for Israel, for the United States, are to make sure that we get the hostages back. And then that we eliminate, if we can, the nuclear facilities, all of them from Iran. And then quite frankly, this is what will happen because there aren't just American hostages as everybody knows here. There's American hostages all over the world. And people will understand that We come for our people.
We come for our boys and girls that are out there, and that will serve as a deterrent in the first place in taking them. Yeah, I guess we're going to see what's going to happen shortly because the other added advantage is. The Iranian people hate their government. As much as we do. And it was pointed out to me yesterday by H.R.
McMaster is that they would have reports, you would probably be subject to them too, of all the protests, the anti Ayatollah protests in Iran when the maximum pressure campaign was on. And the and the and the protest and they protest money that they have coming to them that was going to Hezbollah and Hamas that was drying up. You re do you concur with those reports? I concur with them 100%.
Well, and I also concur with the opinion that the Iranian people are I mean, just look at the pictures post-revolution and some of these things and what happened.
So and think about the Persians that are in the United States. I mean, it's a group of people that were forced to come out. It's like first generation Cubans or first generation in any culture, Jews, Italians, Irish. They're great people. And the most important thing, and people don't always understand this about Abraham Accords, but people don't or let me use another example.
Why did Arab people People say, why would Arab or Muslim people vote for President Trump? I understand completely because. President Trump is against Terror. That's why he's against Iron. He's not against.
Muslims or Jews or Christians or anyone, actually. He actually is for. A situation where we have a safe world. And I do believe that, and I hope for the Iranian, ultimately, they have their destiny in their hands, but we can certainly make sure that the situation is set up well. They're great people.
So this is interesting because For a legacy, Biden says, I want to get the he never calls it the Abraham Accords that you guys would think he would embrace. He doesn't call it that. He goes, I want to get an agreement with Saudi Arabia to push peace in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia says, Well, you've got to get some type of plan with the Palestinians before I do that. And then they want in return a security guarantee.
So if they're attacked, we would attack with them against the enemy. Which I think brings a lot of strengths in the Middle East. You know, the Houthi rebels were attacking Saudi Arabia. We told them, stop doing it, and we're taking the Houthi rebels off the terror watch list. That's how the Biden administration started.
Now they want to end it with signing a mutual defense agreement. Should we do it? And he says it'll get 67 votes in the Senate. What do you think, Adam? Yeah, I think, I mean, he's got not enough time left, and it sounds to me like a I'm sorry to say this because I think he's a nice person.
It sounds to me like an old man trying to cement some sort of legacy. Unfortunately, it's too much, too little. And I heard him compliment Israel for being bold yesterday. It's interesting because if it were up to the administration, they asked Israel every single time not to do what they did. They were upset when Israel took out Nezra, and they were upset they were in a forum when Israel did its operation against Hezbollah.
They were upset when they went into Lebanon. They were upset and didn't want them to react at all after October 7th. And if they had listened, if Israel listened, which usually they do because the United States is the big dog, right? If Israel had listened to everything that the administration had said, we would really be in a there would be a big issue. And so I just it's too much too late.
And I he's getting the benefit of the fact that The Uni Americans att elected President Trump. And so you're seeing the change. You're seeing Qatar throughout Hamas right after the election. That's kind of funny timing. This happened.
Hamas just said today they're willing to enter into a ceasefire with no preconditions. I did not see that. Where was that? Yeah, that just happened today. I saw a report on, I think it's on CNN today that, and you know, they said we would never do it.
They said they would be open to it and they would start to discuss exchange. And before. That was there was no way that was going to happen.
So things are changing. You may have seen China just released three Americans. I did see that. Yep. Yep.
And they said they were wrongfully detained.
So Ted Cruz kind of echoes you. He says this. The Biden administration has spent the last four years pathologically obsessed with undermining Israel and boosting Iran, including by coercing our Israel allies to cede maritime territory to Hezbollah. They're now using the transition period of the Trump administration and a Republican Congress to try to lock in those efforts and to constrain the incoming administration by establishing what they believe is irreversible diplomatic, legal, and military policies. I'm sure they're going to stop short of that.
The slow walking of weapons is real. It was mentioned by Prime Minister Netanyahu yesterday in his remarks because he knows in 54 days that's going to end. Adam, you still there? Uh list. I listen.
I think that Yeah, there's fifty-four days. And and The world is watching. Right, so Tal the T are the Taliban have American hostages now. And if the Taliban are watching, because they are. then they'll know that President Trump is coming.
And President Trump isn't interested in tit for tat with the Taliban. He's interested in getting Americans home.
So all of these things are tied just like they were before, just like our disaster of a withdrawal from Afghanistan. Led to Putin seeing the weakness, him moving. Led to Hamas deciding, Iran deciding to push. All of them are very connected.
Now, what's happening is Because We are going to focus on The strength. Already, just that knowledge is starting to assemble because President Trump's actually going to be credible in that. And when he was tested, When he was tested, he killed the number two guy in Iran.
So that they know they don't want to test. This president because they know what happens. And now all of these things are going to disassemble that. For four years. were created and maintained.
I hear you. And uh and lastly when you look at what's happening with the Ukraine right now, you see two countries now contributing to Russian forces where they should have a ton of reinforcements. They seem to be running out of people, but desperate to get more land. Where do you think this is heading by the time Trump takes over? I think that there needs to be something.
This can't be a forever war. And I think that there needs to be a deal Uh, there needs to be something that stops it. It can't be a forever, so many people are dying on both sides. I think with Trump coming, Putin knows That this has got to stop. And I do, you know, people say, oh, you know, it's going to be a deal of century, President, you know, and President Trump has his flair in what he says.
But what I have noticed when I work for him, Abra records all these things. He said at the beginning, there'll be a historic piece in the Middle East, you know, in a way that only he can. And everybody, oh, you know, they downplay it because he says big things, but then it happens. And so I do think what you'll see is you'll see some resolution to that conflict, which can't last forever. Adam Bowler, it's an exciting time.
There's an opportunity, but sometimes you have to have war in order to get peace. That's what Israel is showing us right now, sadly. I wish it was a different world, but it isn't. Adam, thank you. Of course.
Thanks for having me on. You got it. Robert Holden, bottom of the hour. The idea of standing up and getting in Tom Holden's way, Holman's way, as he tries to get rid of the Eagle immigrants, especially the criminals, that is not a good idea, according to one Democrat. He'll tell his story next.
I don't know. Expanding your knowledge base. It's the Brian Kill Meet Show. The more you listen, the more you'll know it's Brian Killmead. There's a continuum of illness, and we go from overweight to morbidly obese, and there are 170 comorbidities associated with being overweight and obese.
So, if a person is very far down the road on that continuum, if they have chronic kidney disease, if they have heart disease, if they have advanced type 2 diabetes, if they've tried everything, if they're morbidly obese, then Obviously, in the cost-benefit analysis, they would be the appropriate candidate for these drugs, and they could. Could be considered a first line of defense.
However, that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about utilizing this drug as a first line of defense for human beings as young as six years old. We're talking about a vast swath of the population, up to 28 million people, that they would like to prescribe these drugs to that are simply not candidates.
So, Jillian Michaels, a fitness expert, unbelievable personality, great person, but this is the big question, and it's more complicated than you think. Ozempic. All those weight loss drugs you need to take every day, they work. We don't know the long term effects of it. Should you if you can't afford to buy it, you don't get it.
If you're on Medicare Medicaid, you don't get it.
So should they offer it for Medicare Medicaid patients for people who are older or for people who are disabled? or unable to work or workers comp whatever reason.
Now, if you do that, provided for free, someone's paying for that.
So it's coming out of healthcare, the Medicaid or Medicare budget. If you do that, you're going to have to raise rates because this is a lot of money. There's so many people who are overweight that are going to say, give me that, and I need it every day and I can't afford it.
So, which is great for the pharmaceutical company, great for the Ozempic people. I got it. And all the others, Wagovi and the others that are out there, and there'll be more coming up, especially if the government's paying for it.
So, you shouldn't do it.
So, Bernie Sanders says, well, the government better give a discount because it's going to raise rates. Just like I said, he has a different approach.
Now, I also am sympathetic to the fact that why should just middle-class and rich people be afforded to take this miracle drug that has you lose all this weight and technically, in many ways, makes you healthier, less apt to get diabetes, let all the things that come with obesity, improves your lifestyle, which means less depression, gets people out again.
So, there's ripple effects up and there's ripple effects down. Underlying all of it is we don't know the long-term effects, and we do know it wears on your muscle. But do you believe that the government should pay for this?
Now, for example, if someone wants a nose job, someone wants a different type of plastic surgery, most times you're not, your insurance is not going to. Pay for it because it's elective. This is elective and it's daily. You can't stop taking it. The weight comes right back.
So this is a complicated thing and Trump and it looks like the Biden people want to sign off on it and kind of stick the bill with the Trump people. Kind of really devious because they, hey, he's the one who took away your free weight loss drug that all you had to do is sit in your bed, take it, and you still lose weight.
So It's tough, but that's what Dr. Oz has to deal with, I imagine. He's going to be in charge of Medicare and Medicaid, and he's going to approach this in a way that's not an elitist way. He's going to talk about it.
Now, I was struck by how many people in the inner city who are on some type of food stamps are overweight. And you would think if you're deprived of food, what happens is you're not eating well. Where you're not getting out as much. Can't join that gym. Can't get the balance in life that other people can.
So, these are the people who would benefit. Is it right to deny them the ability to lose weight effortlessly? Interesting debate, right? Um I'm not for paying for it, tell you that. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it.
You're with Brian Kilmead. We're not changing how we run the city, but it's important that people know what that status means. What that means is that if someone has committed a violent crime, has committed a felony, we do collaborate with federal law enforcement, and we will. That is Mayor Mike Johnson desperately trying to backpedal after his Tiananmen Square. Proclamation that if ICE comes in to take his illegal immigrant, he will go out and attack, let his cops stand off of the National Guard.
Do you believe this? Or with ICE? And he says it would be like Tiananmen Square in Colorado. This is a city that per capita has more illegal immigrants than even New York City, that is overrun. You've got to see these pictures.
You see these pictures and know how cold it's getting right now in Denver. And the reason why the criminals and the gangsters are going out to Aurora, there's no room left in Denver. And this guy says I'm going to stand up to fight back against ICE. What is wrong with these Democratic mayors and governors who just automatically, if Trump wants to do it, it's got to be wrong? Same with the governor of Massachusetts, same with the mayor of Boston, same with the mayor of.
and governor of California and Los Angeles, respectively. Robert Holden's different. He wants to do what works, and he understands there was a warning shot fired politically in New York and these blue states after this last election. He's a New York City Councilman for District 30 in Queens. Robert, welcome to the Brian Kilmeet Show.
Oh, good morning. Good morning, Brian. Yeah, it was great talking to you on T V earlier this week, but I just want to get our audience, national audience as well as the WABC audience, a perspective. You're a Democrat that want that thinks the current situation is not acceptable with illegal immigrants overrunning the city for the last three and a half years. Yeah, and why would anybody want to keep Undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes, who are members of gangs.
Nobody would nobody in my district. I haven't met one person that said, Yeah, let's keep them.
So this is why sanctuary cities can't work, doesn't work. And it wasn't really meant obviously, they're trying some people, at least the far left, is trying to protect some immigrants. But then you're going to protect criminals You know, and so I it's just ludicrous to even think. That we should harbor these i illegal aliens. But the mayor of Denver is Tom Johnson.
I hope he gets arrested. And again, I love Tom Holman. He's amazing. He just comes right out and says what everyone thinks, by the way. And it doesn't matter party.
I'm a conservative Democrat. There's a few of us still left. But we're common sense Democrats. There's again, there's A few in the city council, there's two others. that are part of my caucus uh and We have to really Actually, be a voice of reason in the party.
I want you to hear what Tony Holman said yesterday in Eagle Pass, Texas, Cut 10. It's a shame we have other governors and other mayors who are right out of the gate have said they're going to push back on President Trump and what we're trying to do, especially for interior enforcement. Let me be clear. There is going to be a mass deportation because we just finished a mass illegal immigration crisis on the border. It's not over.
It's still happening. And with 54 days left, they're just trying to get ahead of things. It's amazing, Robert. They hi the Texas Land Commissioner had to buy 1.4 million acres. Down in Texas to build their own wall.
because the federal government is he stopped the building of the wall that the American people have already paid for. The wall doesn't answer all problems, but it helps the Border Patrol push the illegal immigrants to an area in which they might be able to deal with it better. Yes, and regarding this, by the way, the southern border is going to change once Donald Trump gets in there, and certainly Tom Holman. But just imagine how many got through already these gangs, these trend dear Aragua. You know what they do?
Murder, protection racketeering, drug trafficking, forced prostitution, kidnapping, retail theft, robbery. This is these guys, there's 5,000, I think, in maybe in this country already.
So do we really need this? Do we really want this? Nobody in his right mind would. And so it's a new day dawning for United States. We're going to have a secure southern border, hopefully, within a few weeks.
But I think you'll hear the Democrat mayors and governors changing their tune, especially. When you have the threat, they're committing a felony if they harbor these illegal aliens. And we've done that in New York City over and over again, every single day. What I find amazing is Is that last week in New York, we had this guy arrested after he followed an assistant prosecutor home to her house that works under Alvin Bregg, the embarrassment of a DA that we have here, and broke into her house, robbed her, did some vile things in front of her, and when he was arrested for the sixth time, had a big smile on his face. Why would any American, why would any Democratic mayor or governor in any state say, you know, we got to leave them alone?
Let's make sure ICE doesn't get them the first time. Let's make sure they have a chance to kill or maim or rob somebody else. And that's what I think has so much to do with this election. They didn't elect Republicans. They elected common sense.
Right.
Right.
And again, last year w we brought this up in the common sense call, 'cause we had one guy come in from Venezuela. He said he was here thirty days. He commit he was arrested six times. I mean, there again, I don't know How any country can sovereign country would want to keep them? And we should have deported them right away.
But the sanctuary city laws in New York City, and they amended this a number of times over the years. And I was I voted against the last one, which would keep ICE out of jails, keep ICE out of the courts. You they can't even go in the courts. Can you imagine that?
So that's my definition of harboring and shielding. And that should be a felony. And listen, any leader, including the governor of the mayor of New York City, if they're going to subscribe to those sanctuary city laws, then they got to be prepared to defend Against a felony. And I think Donald Trump will do that. Don't you, Brian?
I mean, it makes sense. But you know what? What keeps happening? We're talking to Robert Holden, New York City Councilman, Democrat in Queens, who you listen around the country. He just has had it because he cares about his people more than he does his party.
And I just think people get all caught up in the lawsuits and everything just stops. And the sanctuary cities, they pretty much won last time, every time the president tried to get rid of them. But now I hope when you saw those citizens of Chicago from inner city Chicago get up and yell at the city council, how dare you don't allow me to vote to get rid of sanctuary cities because the services they're taking away from my people, the facilities my kids can't use because they're now shelters, but we can't get through. I mean, I could see if you have an landscaper or an old pair that's been living here for 16 years and you want to hold on to them. That's different than the criminal, the people that just snuck in, that blow off their appearances and that have created havoc and living off the city, living off the welfare system here.
They just won't put it forward.
So, Robert, when you bring this up to people that aren't in your nine-person caucus that has three Democrats, what do they say? The city councils are the real problem here. Yeah, and they're because they get elected, and again, most of them are socialists, and that's the problem here. But they get elected in the Democratic primary because we don't have this very strong two-party system in New York City. The Democrats control everything.
And listen, I'm a Democrat, but I don't subscribe to most of their rhetoric. But let me just tell you how they get elected with a couple of thousand votes in a primary. And then once they're on the Democratic line, they automatically get elected. That's why we need a strong two-party system in New York. But let me just go back to ICE, because I visited with the Common Sense Caucus six or seven times already.
The ICE headquarters is in New York City Hall.
So we've gone there and met with Ken Giannalo, who's the director of ICE in New York City. And he said, we had so many detainers for these criminals that are in jails, and we filed them. And there are hundreds in twenty twenty three. none were honored by New York City.
So that to me is a felony. That means we should start. And I hope we're going to write to President Trump to really initiate this. And then if they don't abide by it, You either arrest them or you threaten to withhold funding, federal funding. I mean, he's got, you know, again, Donald Trump.
Is going to bring some sensibility back to the sanctuary cities, I hope. I'm praying for that because I want to protect my family and certainly my constituents, and everybody does. But the city council. Again, they're far left. Many of them are far left.
The ones that are moderate, Brian, come up and tell me, you know, I agree with you, but I can't say anything. Come on. Let's go. You're jeopardizing everyone. Hey, Robert, have a great Thanksgiving.
Hopefully, your voice will be heard. And when the president takes over, we'll have one objective: not get re-elected, just to find out who the illegal immigrants are and get them out of here as quick as possible. When you start doing that, it'll diminish the traffic at the border and make everybody's life easier. Thanks so much, Robert. Have a great weekend.
Thank you. Thank you, Brian. All right, we come back. Mike Tannebaum joins us, former executive in the NFL, also a longtime agent.
Now, you see him on ESPN. He's got a brand new job. And also, he's going to preview the games that's coming up tomorrow because your Thanksgiving Day is now full of NBA games and NHL games as well as NFL games. You'll listen to the Brian Kilmey Show. Both sides, all opinions.
It's Brian Killmead. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. As far as my future goes, I haven't told anybody in my life that I want to play in 2025 and not in the Jets. 100% false.
I actually said the opposite. I'm going to wait and see what happens at the end of the season and if they want me back, and what happens with Brick and what happens with the offensive staff and obviously the GM at the time. Yeah, then they just fired Joe. There's a lot of things out of my control when it comes to that. I've really enjoyed my time in New York.
I don't even know if I want to play yet, but New York would be my first option. Aaron Rodgers talking at a press conference about where he goes from here, of the epic disappointment of his team that most people thought would go into the playoffs if he could stay healthy. He's not healthy, but he's healthy enough to play. And the team has done so poorly. They fired their coach.
They just got rid of their general manager. And the guy still standing is Aaron Rodgers at 41 years old. And Mike Tannenbaum is now the former GM. And Executive vice president of the team who went over to Miami afterwards, who's so respected in NFL circles, has been asked to lead the hunt for a new general manager and get the Jets in a new direction. You also, you see him on ESPN, and you also see him in the front of a college classroom.
Mike Tannebaum, former executive president of football operations for the Dolphins and for the Jets, joins us now. Mike, welcome back. Brian, great to be with you, my friend. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Same to you.
What were your thoughts when the Jets contacted you? Yes. Look, I was flattered, to be candid. They just reached out recently and said, hey, look, we're going to have a couple of searches here, and we'd love for you to come back and help. And I created an organization with a thirty third team, which is a football think tank and have availed to a lot of industry experts that will get their set of eyes on this as well.
And proud to go back and help my former boss and Woody Johnson and help the Jets. Wow, that's so interesting.
So tell me about the 33rd team. Yeah, so we're basically a little bit data technology, media, and think tank. We study industry trends, do observations for both college and pro teams relative to like research projects. And we have a lot of former coaches that spend time with us between their opportunities. And we're sort of a little bit of a transition platform where we help them get to their next spot and along the way collect a lot of interesting information.
So from when you see of the Jets, I mean, you're commenting on it, you're writing about it, you're talking about it. From what you see of them, what went from, were you one of the people that thought this team was hitting the playoffs? Yeah, look, I think it's a great opportunity, Brian. You know, like, and I've said this on the record, off the record, but I had 16 wonderful years there. You know, we went to the playoffs seven times, a bunch of championship games, and I don't think there's anything like, you know, being in the NFL in New York.
And there's a lot of good players on this team. And, you know, for whatever reason, it didn't work out this year. But, you know, I think more importantly, Brian, like moving forward, like two gentlemen, a new head coach, a new GM, we'll get a great opportunity. Yeah. So I bring this up because Aaron Rod is a national personality.
Also, when you fire, is there an advantage to firing a GM and coach in season? Dude, would you ever recommend that? I mean, for example, they just need the office space. I mean, wouldn't it be better to have somebody there and just. Wind it down?
Yeah, you know, like there, that's a longer discussion given the complexities of the NFL rules. Like, most of the people in any search, and again, I've run four searches with both the Jets and the Dolphins. Like, there's a myriad of rules and procedures.
So, you know, a lot of the sort of like interviewing won't take place until you get to January because of like when people are actually eligible to do so. But what it does allow you to do is to be in the marketplace and do research and collect information. Because, you know, Brian, I've been part of the situation where a decision gets made after the last game. Everyone sort of has a bad taste in their mouth. And then you wake up on Monday morning and you're starting from scratch.
And that's not a great place to be either because these searches are detailed and there's a lot to them. All right.
So we're talking Mike Tannebaum now. He's been tasked with helping the Jets with their search for a new GM and a coach. Would you bring back Rex Ryan? Because he wants to go back. Yeah, I'm well aware.
So, look, we're just starting, and it'll be a detailed, comprehensive search.
So, as soon as we identify K's, you'll be the first to know, Brian. But, yeah, I had a great run with Rex. He's a good friend, and we'll just see where the process goes. Like I said, I think we're on day two here. Daniel Jones is about to sign with the Vikings.
He got cut by the Giants. The Giants signed him for a lot of money, and they let Saquon go. This is the conversation that happened on Hard Knocks between the Giants GM. Uh Joe Shane and and Saquon. Saquon.
Franchising and trading him, I don't think is realistic. Are we positive that nobody's going to pay him that kind of money? I mean, who would you say would go sign up running back to that dollar a month? I mean, anyone that has money to spend, there's a lot of running backs in free agency. Yeah, but are there any potential difference makers, really?
Even if Saquon is number one, you're board. Do you imagine anyone's going to have such a gap between Saquon and Jacobs, Pollard, Henry, whoever else, that they're going to want him at $12 million a year or minus whatever?
Well, the answer is yes. The Eagles, they're contenders, and he's going to have an MVP year, and the Giants cut Daniel Jones.
So, your thought as a GM, were they able to sign both and weren't just flexible enough? Did they make the right move? Yeah, well, certainly like the way it played out, it hasn't worked out. And I was, you know, Brian, I try to first guess with my position with the SPN, not second guess. And I've always said, like, I think when you have a high character, productive player like a Saquon Barkley, you know, like you can't keep everybody.
That's one of the great things about the NFL, the cap sort of equalizes things. But what you do try to do is say, like, which are the guys that really move the needle? And obviously, it's worked out great for Philadelphia. And look, for Daniel Jones, I'll say this, Brian: like, good for him with Minnesota. Like, you look at guys like Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, Geno Smith.
Those guys have been with four different teams.
So there's no question, like, his career is far from over. He's going to have to play better, obviously. And if you're the Giants, like, one of the things you have to look at is. The guys that I've left here, be it Leonard Williams, Xavier McKinney, obviously Saquon, like. They've done well.
So part of what you put your team together, you have to evaluate your own correctly. You have Chicago against Detroit, 1230, Giants, Cowboys, Miami, Green Bay. Uh the best game looks to be Miami and Green Bay. Detroit's having a season that could get him in Super Bowl. Uh lastly, uh is the are the Cowboys the biggest disappointment in the league?
Well, yeah, but they've also had a ton of injuries. Like, let's give them credit for beating Washington. It looks like it's close to the end, Brian, but they still have a post there. And let's see if they can win two games in five days. And we've got to remember: seven teams make the playoffs, so you can never say never.
Giants have to run through the tape to save their coach in GM and play hard. You know, look, you know, John Merrick came out and said those guys are coming back. And, you know, let's see how that plays out at the end. But, you know, that was disappointing. I thought they would have played better against Tampa with DeVito.
That was a bad day at the office. And, you know, that's the bad news. The good news is they get another opportunity in 24 hours. Mike Tannebaum, always great to talk to you. Thanks, Mike.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving. I know you'll be watching three games of football, knowing you. Appreciate it. Brian Killmeech. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show.
Brian Kilmead. Thanks for being here, everybody. It's the Brian Killmeat Show. Hope you got great Thanksgiving plans. If not, I hope you have the day off at least.
Tyrus is going to be on this hour. He's not taking today off anyway. He's going to be on Gutfeld tonight. Daniel Hoffman, former CIA station chief, served in Moscow, Iraq, Pakistan, South Asia, and Europe. Most of those places you probably never want to go to, but he worked there for the CIA.
So I always appreciate him. And we will also see today that we have a parade that's blanketing the city. It's going to be full of balloons and people, and it's supposed to pour. I always feel bad about that. The President of the United States, yes, we have one.
It's Biden. He's going to be staying at somebody's house for free in Nantucket, Massachusetts. The House and Senate will not convene today, but Lindsey Graham is speaking out. He is always in the action. He's over in Israel talking about that.
The ceasefire that's going to last for 60 days.
So let's get to the big three.
Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. Being up against a narrative that we weren't doing anything or we were afraid to have interviews is completely bullshit and also like took hold a little bit. And we just gave us another thing we had to fight back for. What are you talking about?
Trump never had to worry about it. Yeah, really. Because Trump did interviews. Jen O'Malley, you got to be kidding me. Out of all the things you want to fight against, you're fighting against the image that you didn't want to do interviews.
Yeah, one tough interview with Fox lasted 10 minutes and showed up 20 minutes late. The other one in 60 minutes, she blew, but they edited and make her look like a genius. They have never added up or admitted that or answered the inquiries about that at 60 minutes. Self-relection and reflection and delusion with the Dems. We'll talk about it.
Number two. She has a mass number of people, millions of people, who will get a final order and be ordered removed. If we don't do it, what is the option? Let them stay? Because you let them stay, you'll never fix the border.
Tom Holman already in action. Team Trump is already impacting borders in America and their neighbors. What it means for illegals here and why I believe that them resistance in blue cities will not prevail this time. Number Let me be clear. If Hezbollah or anyone else breaks the deal, and pose a direct threat to Israel.
And Israel retains the right to self-defense. Consistent with international law. Really, tough guy, Joe Biden. Here we go. We don't have peace, but we have a cease.
That's a ceasefire in Lebanon. Why I think this will help Israel more than Hezbollah and spells more trouble for Iran and Hamas 54 days until a new sheriff comes to the Middle East. By the way, there's a lot of things happening right now. We have Hamas got kicked out of Qatar there in Turkey. We also just had three.
Uh Americans released for uh who were detained. wrongly, in China, released on their own recognizance. How soon to now Hamas releases the seven Americans and the Israelis who were kidnapped on october seventh of last year? I think things are certainly changing. I'll talk about that in the Ukraine war with Daniel Hoffman shortly.
But I just do think that there's a new sheriff in town and he's coming to town. The fact is, we know what Joe Biden, excuse me, Donald Trump is going to do as opposed to Joe Biden.
So you don't say, well, if you are Iran, you don't say, well, what does this campaign say and what will he do? They know what he's doing. And he's coming back to do the same thing all over again.
So let's talk about the deal. This is the deal as we know it. They let the IDF rest for 60 days. They're supposed to back up fast to Latani River, which means that they can't rocket the northern part of Israel, which means 70,000 people get to go back to their homes. Hezbollah has all those hungs, those tunnels destroyed, almost all of them.
Their weapons depots have been destroyed, almost all of them. They've had a lot of their elite fighters killed and most of their upper brass dead. Blown up started September 14th with the Pager explosion.
So the Israelis withdraw, and now they could focus on Hamas and Iran. Netanyahu said as much yesterday. Key moments. On the twentieth, Israel begins taking out senior Hezbollah commanders. On the twenty fifth, they fire mi uh Hezbollah fires missiles into Tel Aviv.
And then the twenty seventh, they kill Their leader, Hassan Nasarallah, a rock star amongst terrorists, he is now dead, as well as about four of his heir apparents.
So Biden team briefed the Trump team on this whole Hezbollah ceasefire. Good. And now they could focus on Hamas. Let's get these hostages out. Do not be surprised if they get out very shortly, because now all the weapons that have been slowed down, even though Biden denies it, are going to be in Israelis' hands.
And they have earned that right to do it. And then they know that when the sixty days are up, fifty-four days are up, they'll be able to get those attack helicopters and everything else they've been lacking. Mike Huckabee is going to be have a key post. He's going to be the ambassador to Israel from the US. Cut nine.
The problem is that Hezbollah and its Iranian backed proxies like Hamas and the Houdis, they've never kept an agreement.
So I think the Prime Minister is doing the right thing, but I also think he's very smart To retain the right to restart the fighting if Hezbollah breaks the truce. All right, good luck with that. They will do that if the rockets start flying and 200 Hezbollah rockets flew into Israel over the weekend. If they start doing that again, there's going to be nothing left of Hezbollah. The hope is, guys, that the Lebanese take control of Lebanon.
I know that sounds like a no-brainer, but they haven't been controlled for at least 10 years. The Hezbollah has the power and the money, but now they have the dominance and the majority until they get taken out.
So let's talk about what's happening here. Already, the Trump team is staffing up and moving out. Tom Holman at the border with the governor of Texas yesterday talked about what they plan on doing in Texas. They'll have success. They talked about the Shelby Park miracle.
Since they put up their wall, their barrier, their Constantine wire, they have stopped influx of illegals down 85%. The question is, will Will these blue states cooperate in these sanctuary cities? This one clown, this Denver mayor, even though his city has been just destroyed by illegal immigrants, they're taking up the services, their sidewalks, their shelters, their boys and girls' clubs, he still says he will fight back against expelling all of them. Cut 14. We won't use our law enforcement, and we don't think we need to.
That's not what we're after. I think America's not after another conflict on this issue. They're after a way to find pragmatic solutions to this problem. And so, to quote Lincoln, you know, we don't think here that might makes right. We think that right makes might.
And so, if they are going to send the U.S. Army or the Navy SEALs into Denver to pursue folks to pull them off the job at hotels or restaurants where they're working or pull kids off the soccer field, I think we will see Denverites and folks around the country who will nonviolently resist that because I think that doesn't represent our values and doesn't represent the Constitution. People are staying overweight, they don't pass the background checks, the people that have not shown up for their court hearings, have not complied, have not kept. Kept in touch, they're susceptible to be thrown out. And I think we've got to get rid of chain migration and a lot of other things.
That's going to be next, but people will vote on that. But in case you want to know about the danger, I think it was very important that Jocelyn Nungery's mom, Alexis, showed up at the Rio Grande City yesterday in Texas to let us know it's not about Donald Trump. It's not about Tom Holman. It's about the American sanctity of our borders. It's about making sure the enemy doesn't get in.
And that's why you have to watch out borders now. That's why 25%. Tariffs on Canada, who've let 20,000 in over the last two years, the ones that we know of through the northern border. Do you know in 2022 there were 2,000? That's why Canada is involved.
And the same thing with Mexico, another 25% off all imports. Here's Alexis Nungare about the dangers because it was an illegal immigrant who raped and killed. Her daughter, Cut16. Every day it's a struggle. Every day it's hard.
Some days are easier than others. But it never takes away the fact that She's not here anymore due to heinous people who were let in this country to do what they did to her. As much as I wish I could change the past and take it back and even take her place, I can't do that. And everything happens for a reason and there's a reason I'm up here and standing and speaking because my goal is to get justice for Jocelyn, but To make a change for every other child in this state, in this nation, to not have any more families go through what me and my family are going through. Great point.
This new ICE director also gives me encouragement. He sat down with Griff yesterday. Tom Homing gives me encouragement.
Some of these governors got to step up and understand. Forget about your stupid party. Talk about saving the next Jocelyn or Lake and Riley.
So when we come back, Daniel Hoffman tells me what's latest in Ukraine. It's going to be one of the big things standing, sitting, waiting for Donald Trump to tackle when he gets into office. You're listening to Brian Kilmey Show.
So glad you're here. Politics, girl. Events and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say. Stay with Brian Kilmead.
Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. There are some people in the Republican Party these days. Puts kind of tend to parrot Vladimir Putin's talking points. I don't know if it's because they're drawn to him and they see him as a kind of a defender of Western civilization, as the shirtless guy on horseback, but they've got to disabuse themselves of this strange affection.
For Vladimir Putin, who is not gonna stop in his effort to restore Russia to national greatness at our expense. That's what he's obsessed with. He's obsessed with. kind of reestablishing the Russian Empire. And so he has aspirations.
To go far beyond anything that's in reaction to what we do. And the only thing that stops it, really, is strength. Right.
That's the only thing he understands. Daniel Hoffman, former CIA station chief for a myriad of bad places, including Moscow, joined us now, Fox News contributor. Daniel, that's H.R. McMaster. Do you agree with that, what he just said?
Yes, I do. And what I would just add to that is, Vladimir Putin served in the KGB. That was his formative experience. He was the director of Russia's Federal Security Service. Before he became Prime Minister and then President of Russia.
And so he sees the world through this prism of espionage, cloak and dagger espionage. And that's what he's doing. He's running sabotage operations in Europe, lots of spy operations and very effectively running disinformation, propaganda and information operations against the Bind administration the last four years. And right now, where do you think this war is at?
Well, the war is at an inflection point because. the Biden administration was leaving, having failed to achieve success that they could have achieved in this war. You know, Putin Sized up. President Biden really well. Biden made it clear that he didn't want a nuclear war.
He didn't want to do something that precipitated a nuclear war even though there was no chance of that happening. And Biden also said he wanted to avoid a direct conflict with Russia.
So those are the two points that Putin always has made over the past three years. Uh To induce some escalation paralysis in this administration, threatening that Russia would use nuclear weapons. Threatening the United States and NATO, that we're now in a direct war with Russia, and that caused the Biden administration not to give Ukraine what they needed when they needed it. The Biden team had a chance to really make a transformational impact on U.S. foreign policy, and they utterly failed.
And they're leaving a really much worse situation, not just in Ukraine, but around the world, for the Trump administration. No quit, no kidding.
Now you have North Korean and Yemeni fighters fighting against Ukraine. Excuse me. Yeah, fighting against Ukraine. What is the reason for that? Why do you think Putin's using them?
So there's minimal tactical advantage on the ground. The North Koreans and the Yemeni terrorists are not going to tip the balance in favor of Russia. But what the Russians are saying to us, to the West, to NATO, to the United States, is that they are aligned closely with North Korea and Yemen. And those are two countries that can really cause problems for the United States. Obviously, North Korea has got a nuclear program in their concerns about weapons about weapons of mass destruction and proliferation of those weapons from North Korea.
the Yemeni Houthis, the terrorists, Iran's proxy terrorists have disrupted trade in the Red Sea. And so what Putin is saying is, sure, if you want to support Ukraine and continue to support Ukraine, we are going to be allied with your enemies, and they will do you harm. And that just increases Putin's leverage while the war is ongoing and then in a potential uh peace negotiation. Dan, am I wrong to think they're running out of people too? Because they they need these North Koreans on the front line or?
Well, they could always use them. But Russia's the demographics are in Russia's favor here when they're fighting Ukraine. And yes, they've suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties. But the estimates from General Jack Keene's team at the Institute for Study of War is that Russia can carry on. sending their their troops cannon fodder to fight Ukraine, Yeah, they're suffering for sure, and they're in an unbalanced wartime economy that is hurting the population with high inflation rates.
But they feel like they can outlast Ukraine. And more importantly than anything, Brian, they just want to convince us that they can do that to strike a better deal. This is now going to be. Incoming President Trump's legacy as to whether he signs off to a really good deal or a not-so-good deal. And Putin, make no mistake, will try to use to his own advantage President-elect Trump's desire to end the war, stated desire to end the war.
Have the attackems blown up anything? I haven't heard about any damage they've done, just that they've used them. They've used them in Kursk, they've used them in Bryansk and the Ruskov military district. They have targeted Russian military sites effectively. Look, this is a little bit too little, way too late.
The Ukrainians should have been firing these things. Two years ago, and that is the failure of the Biden administration, and it's uh. Look, it big They could have helped Ukraine when Ukraine needed it most, and they didn't. And history will not judge them kindly for that. Ukrainian forces recently regained positions in three or four separate cities, but Russia's have launched a number of drones last night, about 200, and they're trying to blow up the infrastructure, go for the water, and go for the energy.
They are now seizing more territory in Ukraine on a regular basis. Not a lot, but they are moving forward. Do you believe they're ready to talk? Do you think it's their interest to talk to when Trump comes into office? It's a question of how much leverage We Have over Russia.
Right now, I don't think Vladimir Putin needs to talk. His goal is to topple the government of Ukraine and install a puppet regime 100% loyal to the Kremlin. That's what he wants. And so his peace terms that he will seek to dictate will be pretty draconian, beyond no NATO membership, beyond neutrality and maybe not allowing Ukraine to rearm, essentially making Ukraine weak going forward and vulnerable to a future attack by the Russians. But Vladimir Putin has continued to rain down hell on Ukraine.
There's no indication that he's seeking any sort of a negotiated settlement. He'll talk about it, but that's just obfuscation KGB talk. What about us expanding our and getting our missile defense to them, replenishing? I understand Ukraine has taken over the bulk of weapons manufacturing. That now our allies, their allies, which are our allies, are sending them money and material so they can build their own weapons.
How effective has that been? I think that's a good start. And look, Ukraine is the bulwark now for the defense of Europe from the threat that Russia poses. And make no mistake, that's absolutely in our national security interest. We enjoy a trillion dollars worth of trade with Europe that would be vulnerable if Russia were to defeat Ukraine and then threaten Eastern Europe.
So If we can build up Europe's defenses and have the Europeans take ownership of that, all the better. And certainly going forward, that would certainly be the way to go with a nuclear umbrella that the United States provides. The return on investment from the money we've spent, I would argue, has been quite good. But that'll be over to the National Security Advisor, designate Mike Waltz, to reassess The war, reassess U.S. national security interests, and go forward protecting our country's national security.
You believe that we have to stay with Ukraine, right? 100% we do. Look, this would look, this would be. President Trump's Kabul if we were to withdraw from Ukraine. That's the way this would look.
And this would have serious ramifications for the rest of his presidency and beyond if we were to just leave Ukraine high and dry. We can arrive at a good, I think, strategy where Europe shoulders the burden that they should for supporting Ukraine, that we build out our defense industrial base and beat Russia back. Remember Russia's allies, China, Russia, North Korea and Iran. Let's make those allies pay a price. For doing Russia's bidding in Ukraine.
The best way to drive a wedge between China and Russia, between Russia and Iran, and Dan Hopman, have a great Thanksgiving. I 100% agree with you. The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead. I love Hollywood.
I really do. I love living here and I love show business. And I don't like the taxes. Don't take it the wrong way, but the people here, they're loaded with talent. They're not loaded with.
Smartest person in the room. I'm not saying they're complete idiots.
Some. And there are some very smart people in the business, some brilliant people. But mostly what they got was talent.
So they're talking about the election. Of course, they all want to talk to me because they're like, oh, that kid actually knows. Yes, you do. You do, Bill. You know, okay.
You do.
So they're like, you know, of course, they're all upset about Trump as if their life is going to change. Like, you know, let me tell you, for the last year, people have been coming up to me at the nicest restaurants in Hollywood because that's the only place I go because I'm a baller. You know this, even a okay.
So it's like, oh, Bill, what are we going to do if Trump wins? I'm like, you know what, you're going to do go back and finish your $900 dinner for four people. That's what you're going to do. Yes. And your taxes are probably going to go down like they did the first time.
And everything else, you couldn't give a shit about. And that is Bill Maher straddling the news world and the Hollywood world, stand-up comedy. I think this year he did say he's coming back on stand-up. He's got his podcast and he's got his HBO show. There is on his podcast with Stephen A.
Smith.
So just talking about Hollywood, just flipping out.
Now, some people are silently saying, as you heard Alexei Lollis yesterday, he was in Los Angeles. He said, I can't tell you how many celebrities and athletes come up to me and say, hey, because he's outwardly a Republican and big Trump fan. Yeah, how many people say to me, Isn't it great news? We won, but they don't want to say anything because they think it'll hurt their careers. It's fine.
You know, if it's going to hurt your career, why? I mean, like Hulk Hogan came out and said, I'm 70 years old. He almost got killed. He's been my friend. I'm tired of pretending like he's not.
So he came out. But if it's going to hurt your career just to declare yourself publicly, no reason to. It's okay to, I don't think it shows a lack of courage. Just street smart about what you say. But when you go overseas after an election that is so that sends such a solid message, You know, the popular vote, the electoral vote, every battleground stayed increasing with minorities, increasing with especially with black men, with Hispanics.
You can't even say, well, if you vote for Trump, you're a white supremacist. You can't even say that anymore. He actually went down 2% with the white vote.
So, having said all that, you think, okay, Republican, Democrat, Democrat lost, 107 days to replace a failed president wasn't enough, and she was a terrible candidate.
Okay. But no, you have to go overseas, get awards, and then speak to the press. Sharon Stone, case in point, right after, and I'll play back in case you missed Alec Baldwin, who got a lifetime achievement award. You think it's the time to kick back, reflect about what happened on the rust and the shooting and the killing and the disastrous temper tantrums he's been through and the self-sabotage that he displays on a regular basis. But instead, he takes a shot at America.
But it didn't stop Sharon Stone the next day from doing the same thing. Cut 36. My country is in its high lessons. Adolescence is very arrogant, adolescence thinks it knows everything. Mm-hmm.
Adolescence is naive and ignorant and arrogant, and we are in our ignorant, arrogant adolescence. Should I think? We haven't seen this before in our country, so. Americans who don't travel. Eighty percent don't have a passport.
who are educated. are in their extraordinary Laider's A.
Okay, do you believe this?
So, Sharon Stone, the audio wasn't great. But she says we as a country are ignorant, arrogant adolescents. Yes, we're a lot younger, two hundred and fifty years old, than compared to the Italian society, Germany, when they were Prussia and France. We we know that. But we're not.
I mean, she's she's what, seventy years old or seventy five years old? I mean, that's not your adolescence. By this time, you don't wake up and say, well, I wish I was more mature, but I only know it goes back two hundred years. We all have aspect, and we all have an encyclopedia and this thing called the internets in order to get ourselves older looking. But then she's embarrassed and putting us down in front of a European nation who happens to be an ally of ours, who might very well look up to us because they also have family members who have emigrated here when their country went south.
Literally, the whole south of Italy came here, and they're very proud of their relatives.
So she goes in front of the press, which might be feeling those Americas beneath them, and she just rails against America.
Meanwhile, she hasn't done a job in 25 years. It has provided great living for her. And she's watched, I believe she lives in San Francisco, that old city devolved because of the idiotic philosophy that she has as a Democrat. Listen to Alec Baldwin. Time to reflect, kick back, and talk about a great career.
And wasn't it great to have this film society recognize him? But no, you get this. There is a gap, if you will, in. Um Uh information for Americans. Americans are very uninformed about reality Americans are uninformed about reality.
He goes on to say that our news, our news is that's just to entertain because corporations supply it. You know, we're not, I guess, we're not funded by the government, which would be another interesting challenge. We don't know much, we don't read. And our news only gives us short bites. And we only want to know a little bit of things.
This is what Alec Baldwin says. You know, it's not like he's sitting there with a Princeton and Harvard degree. The guy never went to college. He was on the Doctors, a soap opera, when most of us were in school. Still.
Tyrus Fox Nation's host, author of the book Enough Said, host of Maintaining with Tyrus on Outkick. Museum hosting or a panelist every night on Gutfell. Tyrus, welcome back. How are you? I'm great, man.
I I your passion when something bothers you, man, it's fiery. Like I'm ready to go I I've just lifted weights, I'm ready to go back. Like you would have been a tremendous football coach. Like your speech at halftime we would put forty points on the board. Easy.
You should be very proud of yourself. I am.
Well, for did I get you fired up to enough to comment on that?
Well, I just think it's isn't it funny that someone has the temerity, the mitigated gall, to say uninformed. I mean, Americans are more informed than you are about gun safety, sir. I just don't understand. Like, Alex, you got a break. You know, like you somebody died on your on your movie set because of ignorance and not following the rules and not being informed and not reading and et cetera.
So that was more like projection. I just think that when people get uh what is what can be best described as a break in terms of just go away. Take your award, say thank you, and shut up, because you know what? You're literally talking about the party that you were fighting for. They were the ones that were pushing misinformation and lies and painting everyone with a Hitler brush who disagreed with them and stuff.
And the American people did their research. took their time and got tired of $9 butter, which by the way, the main the legacy media thought was $3.
So When it comes to out-of-touchness, I think Alec could be the poster child for that. I think the best thing for him to do is just go away. You know, I don't understand these guys. You literally. Are the most uninformed movie producer of record.
So just. Go away. Yeah, I mean, why put down us in another country? I mean, he's in Italy. And just, I thought about this, Tyrus.
You know how many Italians emigrated here because their country fell apart? The North robbed the South of all their riches.
So, in the turn of the 20th century, like my family and the family before the next generation, they came here. They kind of like America. If you go to Italy, they're not arrogant. The French are arrogant, but still, they're fine. We're kind of used to that.
But you're talking to the Italian people. And the Italian people, excuse me, half my family left to go there. I'd rather you not call them uninformed, especially because we know everything. And by the way, they think that he goes on to say the film industry is really supplying the information that keeps us educated. Really?
Gladiator 2? I mean, what's the last time you learned something from a movie? Yeah, let's hold up. I haven't seen Gladiator 2 yet, and Gladiator 1 was phenomenal.
So let's not attack the movies. Let's just remember the source. Hollywood is entertainment, period. Movies are, if you, any historic thing has changed, you have to do things like read great books like you put together, educational books, Booker T. Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, so on and so forth.
Movies are there for that. But again, Alex isn't even a part of mainstream Hollywood anymore. He's going to be making CD and EF movies. For the rest of his career. His light is gone.
And again, to your point, when you're talking about all Americans, here's the thing. If Italy all of a sudden is worried about Russia, who do you think they're going to call? Us. You know, they're going to call Hollywood, or they're going to call the uninformed America. Yeah.
America is the watchdog, and I think it's funny, only a spoiled American. would talk this way about America. Iran doesn't talk this way about us because they know what could happen. You know what I'm saying?
So again, it goes back to Alex is just, and a lot of these actors and actresses that decided to. go all in with the DNC for a check. Let's remember that. They made a lot of money legacy media by supporting the Democrats at the expense of the American people.
So, maybe he's trying to get another check. Maybe he's trying to be a part of a committee. You know, maybe he's trying to keep his. Deadlight going. Like, he's not even, he's done in terms of being an actor, and he's done it to himself.
Not just that horrible incident that happened on the movie set, but he yells at Civilians, and he talks trash to people left and right. He's just an unhappy, miserable person. And his highlight of his career in the last 10 years. 10 years was doing President Trump impersonations. He should be thankful.
That President Trump was around because it kept him relevant.
So going to Italy, trashing America, it's par for the course. for individuals like him. But here's the here's the good news. chances are, unless you and I are really Lonely and three o'clock in the morning and flip on the sci-fi channel, we'll never see Alec Baldwin again.
So here's what I feel bad about. He's from Massapequa, and he was a really good actor. And this guy, he was always so angry. And we've all, you know, you're an athlete.
Sometimes, like, your quarterback's volatile, but he's such a good player. You just have to put people around him that are going to save him from himself. You know, you have a coach that's volatile, like Bobby Knight. He's a great coach, but you've got to watch it. He's in the wrong mood.
You're going to get tossed from the game. It costs you a technical. You get it.
So I thought, Alex. Here's the thing, B. This is how we used to say, I was an office alignment.
So if we had a quarterback or running back who was disrespectful to the team or maybe celebrated way too long on a first down because you're just doing what you're supposed to do or a touchdown, we had a call called. We used to call it uh Let him go. And I would give that call. And we would just fall down a play. And the quarterback or running back would get lit up like a Christmas tree.
And as we picked him up, we'd be like, Hey, maybe just focus on the game and chill out on that celebration and trash talking. All right.
And they always had the same expression. They don't blink. Their eyes are wide open. And they say, Yeah, yeah, I got it, guys. You sure?
Okay, cool.
So there's ways. Unfortunately, Baldwin is not a quarterback, so we can't do it that way. But I think, like I said, he's going to get a Blitzkrieg of mediocrity and being just, he's going to be. Has been. That's really what he is at this point.
And he's done great movies. I used to be a fan. I loved him in Departed. He was phenomenal. He's had so many great performances.
And it's really sad because the same thing with De Niro. These guys that you look up to and respect just for their acting ability, we forget the person they are. And then when you see who the person they are, and you're like, suddenly those movies aren't really worth watching anymore.
So a couple of things.
So Brett saw him at a restaurant, and he walked up and said, How did I do? And I saw him at a voiceover thing. I was walking, he was walking, it couldn't have been nicer. And I thought to myself, you know, with seven kids, what he went through. I bet you he turned the corner.
I bet you had one of those moments And I guess he didn't. I want to change code into one more one more thing with you, and that is the Democrats doing a self assessment. Gen O'Malley Dillon, who also ran Obama's campaign or played a prominent role, said this was the problem. Cut twenty-three. We would do an interview.
The questions were small and processy and about like they were not informing a voter who was trying to listen to learn more or to understand. That does a disservice to voters.
So, one of the reasons they lost is the interviews they did, people didn't ask them tough enough questions or good enough questions. I have never heard an excuse quite like that. Your thoughts? Yeah. They're blaming the legacy me listen, uh you would if you tried to get an interview with Kamala Harris, you were given a list of things you could not ask.
You had to submit questions ahead of time. They had to be approved. Remember Rogan wasn't allowed to talk about weed and some other things.
So is it you literally only allowed softball questions, you only allowed friendly networks? And here's a disservice. If she would have gone on One Nation with you, you would have gave her a fair, honest interview, unbiased, and gave her an opportunity to connect to people, just like Brett Baer did, but the same thing. She came on combative, she came on late. She tried to milk the clock.
So again, they don't get it. The issue was not a question. The issue was not messaging. The issue was you were on the wrong side of the American values. You wanted an open border.
We see the horrible things that are happening. Anything in life, when you don't do it the right way, when you take a shortcut, nothing good happens. You and I both can speak to that volumes. The second part of that is she was not a good candidate. She never was.
She is, for whatever reason, Her first, whenever she comes on the scene, she's electrifying. Everyone fired up when she originally was running back in 2020. The first week of like, I remember saying, like, she's the frontrunner. She's making all the money. She didn't make it to Iowa.
Do you know why? It wasn't the press's fault. It was what came out of her mouth during debate when Tulsi Gabbard completely destroyed her. When she made completely ridiculous statements like, oh, Biden's racist, but oh, that's just. That's just talk.
That's not talk to the American people.
So if you want, again, she's a bad candidate. It's like Dan Quayle coming back and saying the reason why he didn't run again was because the American people weren't ready. No, you were a bad candidate. I think we all can say in the Republican Party that he was a bad candidate.
So again, you're trying to blame everybody else. Here's the deal. As Judge Janine would say, when you point one finger, there's four coming at you. Right.
And by the way, I think she does say that, but I think someone else said that first. But I'm going to look into it. No, no, no. The actual between you and me, please don't tell anybody it's one pointing at you, three pointing back because a thumb is not a finger. But again, I'm not going to tell her that.
Maybe you could. But I think you like walking. Right.
I also think, too, that I think it's bad news for thumbs. I think they're going to have a say in this, too, because I think they are a finger.
Well, I'll tell you what, we're getting thumbs up right now. America is excited. 59% of the country is excited about the transition team and everything else.
So, again, you're going to have to deal with poor sports and people that are going to, because here's the deal: let's be honest, Brian. It's very lucrative to be in favor of legacy medias and the DNC. Gotcha. Millions and millions of dollars went to celebrities. Thanks so much.
Your mission now is to have a great Thanksgiving, watch him on Gutfell, watch his show on Outkick. Tyres, you're the best. Back in a moment. Learning something new every day on the Brian Killmead Show. Sponsored by Previgen.
Previgin is the most recommended memory support brand by pharmacists. These Call Her Daddy shows and all these different shows that she went on. I mean, I'm sure they had an impact. But I think that in the future, I'm sure they're scrambling to try to create their own version of this show. This is one thing that keeps coming up: like, we need our own Joe Rogan.
But they had me.
Well, number one, they had you. Number one, they had you. They had you and they drove you away. Is that number one? But they also have, you know, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN.
Right, but that doesn't work anymore. That's like, you know, like you're using smoke signals and everybody else has a cell phone. It doesn't work. That is Joe Rogan talking about he's not a right-wing fundant, he's not a right-wing talk show host or podcaster, and he's just talking about how the Democrats, there's a couple of things going on. Why didn't you do Joe Rogan's show?
Kamala Harris keeps being asked, and so is their staff. I don't believe any of the explanations. They said their conditions were one hour. You have to come to them. Please.
Or we don't want to have to go to Houston. We want to go on Battleground State. You already went to Texas for some reason to try to boast the fortunes of your Senate candidate going against Ed Cruz. Don't get it. Number two is she wasn't secure talking about herself for three hours.
That's it. Or talking about issues that she had no control of. That's. Flat out, that's a skill set she doesn't have.
Well, we'll see what happens from here. Just a quick note: Lyft, especially WOKB listeners, I'm going to be February 15th. I want you to go get your tickets, BrianKillmee.com, be on stage talking about all my books, talking about Trump, talking about politics, talking about inspirational, motivational, patriotic stuff.
