U.S. and Israel Ramp Up Targets, Eliminate Iran’s Navy

That's pure automotive joy.

I'm Peter, the owner of Musclecar Junior.

It started as a hobby, then I started posting about it.

Before I knew it, I built a business for storing muscle cars on Facebook Marketplace,

and the community of car lovers on Instagram.

Today, new customers send me what's that message is from all over.

Not bad for a hobby.

Toyota, let's go places.

We're going to get to all that, but first let's get to the big three.

Number three.

How many people have been indicted in your state right now?

I don't have those numbers with me, but you've never said to stop payment.

That's one of the highest rates in the country, sir.

Well, you have one of the highest fraud rates in the country.

Yup, fraud front and center.

It's the screws on Minnesota.

To me, Walzen, Ellison are much more guilty than they let on.

Number two.

This will definitely be temporary.

The Trump administration's energy addition, energy dominance agenda, have just massively grown global supply.

Of oil, natural gas.

But yeah, we're going to have a transient bump up as we've seen in gasoline prices.

We do a little bit.

Yup, cost of the economy.

We're going to look at this war in the degree of short term pain on energy.

Will America be patient enough to allow Trump to win this war?

Number one.

For the first time since 1945, a United States Navy fast attack submarine has sunk an enemy combatant ship.

Using a single Mark 48 torpedo to achieve immediate effects, sending the warship to the bottom of the sea.

That's a little of what the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Cain, had to say about our operations taking place in the Middle East.

A torpedo takes out their biggest and best ship.

The Navy is gone, virtually gone of Iran's.

US and Israel ramping up targets, eliminating their Navy, as I said, focusing on leadership and launchers.

We have the very latest, as well as some of the turmoil on Capitol Hill,

from people playing partisan politics.

I expect it if the war lingers on and things went south.

But to have people say, like a Kim Jeffries, is going to end up in defeat.

Really?

You want to be the next speaker of the House, and you're telling the American people, essentially you're rooting for defeat with the President of the United States.

I saw with Senator Mark Kelly said, you're not going to believe this.

The astronaut, former fighter pilot, had this to say.

He says, as I watched this group of people who were supposed to be leading our country, not just the President, Secretary of Defense, and others.

You know, five people that were on the background on the background on the slide here.

And I'm thinking, I don't know what that means, but this is what he said.

And I'm thinking you can pick a random group of people off the street tonight, right here in DC.

Just a random group, and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now.

What war is he watching?

You might not, well, you know, you want to say, I don't think you should have gone in.

I'm ready for that.

But the execution of the military and the mission so far, along with the second best military in the world, working in tandem.

Brett Bear joins us now.

Brett, the partisanship didn't take long.

Did it?

Outside Senator Federman, you know, exactly where people stand by the party they're in.

Yeah, good morning, Brian.

I think it's predictable.

You know, unfortunate but predictable.

You know, you can have major skepticism.

You can raise legitimate questions.

You can ask questions about how long it's going to last.

Is it worth the country's blood and treasure?

But to diminish what's happening or happened as a, you know, just purely the US military precision.

I don't know, it just seems out of place.

And you have to kind of give it just a little time to see exactly what they're doing.

They're questioning the objective, the long term, how long it'll last.

But I mean, they've had a lot of success in a short time.

And, you know, again, you can ask whatever question you want to ask.

But it seems like rooting against them is not the way to go.

So you had the former Secretary of State, National Security Advisor.

Kind of least Ron, kind of least a rice on your show last night.

Great interview.

Here's a little of it when she talks about the objective here.

Cut seven.

If you can render Iran essentially incapable of military action against us and against our allies,

that's worthy.

And I think what they're trying to do is to neuter Iran as a military power in the region.

And by the way, the Iranians who I think made a strategic blunder in attacking the Gulf states,

like the UAE or Kuwait or others, is demonstrating that it is its goal to be a destabilizing force in the Middle East.

Yes, you can still be concerned about what may come after.

You may still be concerned about the uncertainties of warfare.

But to render this awful regime incapable of using its military power, that's a worthy goal.

And I thought that was put wonderfully for somebody who probably hasn't been read in,

but lived with Bush 41, was part of that staff, and she had important roles with Bush 43.

Yeah, listen, she's been in every big decision at a time of war behind the scenes,

behind closed doors in the halls of power.

And I think when she articulates as she comes from a place of knowledge,

she comes from a place of experience.

And I think she cuts through the noise.

And what she's saying there is that, yes, there are questions.

Yes, there's the possibility that things could go sound.

But that doesn't diminish the objective or the goal of taking away this horrible regime's ability

to take down U.S. bases in the region, to threaten its neighbors,

to be a nuclear threat with kind of crazy people running the country.

So, you know, if you think about what happened in 2023 with the attack October 7th,

Sinmar thought he was going to lead the world against, and get finally rid of themselves of Israel against Israel,

Hezboz is going to join in, Iran would eventually join in,

and they'd get rid of that country, especially with a president they perceived as being weak,

and a vice president they thought would be next, that we know is weak, and they've had that.

Now, think about what has ultimately happened.

Sinwar's dead, Hamas is on its back.

Hezboz is about to be finished off, and Iran has been degraded in a way that didn't think was possible.

And we have the Sunni Arab Gulf states who are receiving seemingly on our side,

and ready to take offensive action.

That's not the way the Islamic extremists thought this would play out.

No, definitely not.

And I do think to Secretary Reyes's point, it was a real strategic plunder to attack as much as they have.

It was Gulf era allies of ours, UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar,

and they've unified and given, you know, stiffened the spine of those countries that originally,

you know, at the very first bomb dropping, put out public statements saying they were against that kind of action.

And now, they're supporting the US and Israel.

And as you say, they're on the cost of launching their own counteroffensive.

How real do you think are our weapons depletion?

How much is that concerning, do you think, behind closed doors with the Pentagon and the White House?

Because we hear about interceptors, and we know the Gulf states don't have a ton,

and they're forced to use them to knock down, you know, what is it, $20,000 drones,

using a $4 million interceptor?

So what do you hear, Brett?

I think they're doing less of that.

I think they're doing more of the technology to block drones and to take them out of the sky.

I believe they're not Ukraine has assisted.

I believe in some of that.

They are on the cutting edge of drone technology and counter drone technology.

And so they're offering their assistance.

So I think they're doing less of the $4 million interceptor for the drone.

But it is an issue.

I mean, it depends on how long this goes.

And so timing becomes really critical.

And I think the magic number you've heard it from the President numerous times,

four weeks, you know, we're on week two.

And I think, you know, they're getting to a point where they're saying,

you know, we're not, we're not even to the big part of the campaign.

I don't think it's going to go that long.

And I doubt that there's going to be boots on the ground that are our boots.

And a lot of that is the President says, I'm not going to tell you my strategy.

I'm not going to tell you about limitations.

So when people say, do you rule out troops on the ground?

He says, I'm not going to say that.

So they go, there could be troops on the ground.

And that's uses a political talking point.

But do you understand that you can't have it both ways?

I can't say I'm not going to play my hand and tell you my hand at the same time play

and show your his hand.

To me, it makes total logical sense.

But I want to bring politics into this.

It's especially is from where you're from indeed where you are in DC.

And the thing is going to change in 26 and definitely 28.

You're going to have every Democratic candidate finding a way to criticize

and move away from Israel, including, I believe, Governor Shapiro.

Who's Jewish and pro-Israel?

And if you want proof of that, the weather vein of politics,

who knows how to read a poll of nothing else, Gavin Newsom,

listen to what he calls Israel.

This would normally be death to any candidate cut 23.

The issue of BB is interesting because he's got his own domestic issues.

He's trying to stay out of jail.

He's got an election coming up.

He's potentially on the ropes.

He's got folks the hard line that want to annex the West, the West Bank.

I mean, free men and others are talking about it appropriately,

sort of in a part-tied state.

Really, in a part-tied state, that sounds like a Palestinian talking point.

Here's more, cut 24.

Do you think looking down the road that the United States should consider

maybe, you know, rethinking our military support for Israel?

It breaks my heart because the current leadership in Israel

is walking us down that path.

Where I don't think you have a choice but that consideration.

And if you want to get votes from the extreme right

and from, I guess, most of the left-bread bear,

you tell me if you think I'm overstating it,

you're going to have to have that position at least.

And that, to me, is sad.

And it's a five-a-long fire for the Israelis who will say,

regardless, I have to finish off our enemies now

and we've got to find a way to make our own weapons today.

Yeah, I agree with you.

I mean, I think that it's really amazing listening to some of the rhetoric.

Not only from the Gavin Newsom's and the far left,

but the right side, way right.

And some of that is really eye-opening.

And doesn't seem to understand the reality of Israel under threat

from a lot of its neighbors for a long, long time.

And you can dislike BB Netanyahu or how he's running things.

But the existential threat to Israel is beyond party.

I mean, no matter which leader is at the helm in Israel,

that's going to be something that's always been evident.

So, you know, to even talk about US decoupling from Israel

is kind of just a major, a major thing.

And I think it will be a part of politics coming up.

I think you're already seeing positioning.

I'd be surprised if Shapiro did it.

I think he's going to have a hard time running in that party

if it is designed that way as this.

So, I think we've got a long way to go.

The midterms are going to tell us a lot.

If Democrats manage to take control of one section,

one chamber of Congress,

it's going to be a bumpy road for this administration

or somebody who wants to run a 28 from this administration,

you know, going forward.

Brett Barragas, press show tonight, six.

So, Brett, the another big story coming up,

has this war, I think.

President says, I'm looking three or four weeks,

and there's a nervousness that Israel in Israel

that the President landed early.

I just hope he achieves his objectives.

And I think AI is playing a major role

in why it's been so effective so far.

I'm just reading about that, pretty awesome.

I'm going to ask you about the other big event,

and that's the President's visit to China.

Do you believe, even though they haven't say anything publicly,

that critical of us between Venezuela and now Iran,

to allies of theirs,

do you think that trip is in jeopardy?

I don't think so.

I think the President, well, first of all,

from China's point of view,

I think they want to make deals that want to figure out

how to move forward with the U.S.

From the President's point of view,

I think he looks at it that he's in a better negotiating point

after Venezuela, and we'll see what happens

in the coming weeks in Iran.

But both of those places provide a lot of oil

and energy to China.

And I think most experts say that it's weakened China

in the wake of this.

I think China is going to move forward with that visit.

I'm scheduled to be on that visit

to take the show on the road,

and so it'll be fascinating, especially during that time.

I don't know how it works.

Do you get a plus one?

Do you think I could go with you?

To sneak in?

Yeah.

I mean, they say endgast.

Does it say on the invitation,

Brett Baer endgast?

Yeah.

Can you carry the tripod?

I would.

I'll do anything.

Yes, absolutely.

Like case.

Yes.

And I will not come out against communism

because I want to be able to come home.

All right.

Brett, have you named your panel yet?

Or have you named the finalists?

We're down to about 20.

Okay.

We'll give it down to three.

By noon.

Well, you're just going to post up the starting rosters.

Is that the way it works?

Exactly.

Exactly.

Brett Baer.

Come back on.

I don't know.

All you have to do is ask me.

When you come into New York again?

Hmm.

Next week.

So I will get on the horn.

All right.

But not to me directly.

I don't take direct calls.

I mean, you'll have to go.

I understand.

You know, it comes to your people.

Yeah.

It gets very awkward.

Brett Baer, thanks so much.

Brett Baer is coming to New York next week.

If you're interested in it,

Brian's talking about it.

You're with Brian Kilmeade.

How many people have been indicted in your state right now?

Do you know Governor?

I don't have those numbers with me.

Don't?

98 people have been indicted.

You'd have to know how many are Somali-American.

I don't.

We've prosecuted over 300 people in the Medicaid fraud

because the area-

300 I would predict is a drop in the bucket.

But you've never said to stop payments.

That's one of the highest rates in the country, sir.

Well, you have one of the highest fraud rates in the country.

Your former chief of staff was notified directly

by these various commissioners about the fraud in Minnesota.

That could be correct.

So are you saying that your chief of staff didn't notify you?

I'm saying I don't recall.

Oh, this governor's such an embarrassment.

Can you imagine if he was actually vice president

that's Waltz and Keith Ellison, the AG,

who just watched that criminal, all that money being wasted.

And I think they're getting towards billions

being sent over to Somalia in suitcases.

That's what TSA agent said because he turned it over.

You're allowed to take cash out of the country and they did.

And guess where the money was supposed to go?

To feed the homeless, feed those in need.

And for autistic kids, they went into the Somali community

and said, I don't care if your kids are autistic or not.

If you bring them in, you can keep half the money, the grant money,

and we take the other half.

So right now, Jordan responded that 80,

they didn't want to answer the question.

I don't really look at people's heritage or their ethnicity.

Okay, that's fine.

That's good for you.

But you do have to notice some trends.

85% of the people indicted were Somali Americans.

And I think that's what drove the whole thing.

So if you see a problem and they are going to be Somali, Nigerians,

Irish, Italians, Norwegians.

It's not racist sexist or xenophobic to say, hey, what's with that community?

You know, all this money is being stolen in Little Italy in New York City.

I don't know.

Is it my being anti-Italian by saying I think there's something

within the Italian community and the money is flowing back to Italy?

But no, everyone's scared to death or placating and pandering

to the black community during that period.

And they got found out.

And the best thing that happened to them was the ice controversy there.

Because people stopped talking about it.

And they started talking about ice and not about the fraud.

But that was front and center yesterday.

Sadly, it happened in the afternoon.

And not enough people paid attention to it.

Hi, everyone. It's Brian Kilmeade here.

Radio that makes you think this is the Brian Kill Me Show.

So we are back.

We love one Frank Fizignano comes to visit us.

He's run Social Security with the administration there in the CEO of the IRS.

A powerful guy who didn't need this job.

In fact, he did it as a favorite of the country.

The old-fashioned thing called service.

And today is the 7th annual slam the scam day.

It's coming on March 5th, as you know.

So each year Americans lose hundreds of millions of dollars to fraudsters in their schemes.

Often impersonating government agencies.

They might come in your email.

You get all panicky and you do what they say.

And it turns out it's all a scam.

It fuels criminal and trafficking networks.

So we're going to focus on that.

But also on the job Frank, you've been able to do in just over a year.

The under a year probably because you had to have confirmation.

Great to see you.

Good to be here.

Always a pleasure for me.

So give everyone an idea of your background that led you to this moment

and why you decided to take the job.

Well, you know, first I grew up in a multi-generational and we're in household in Brooklyn, New York.

Which was, you know, for me the greatest place in the world.

And I was fortunate to have a career that led me to great leaders.

I worked for Sandy Wilde, Jamie Diamond, Tony Terciano, Henry Kravitz, Scott Nuddle.

All running large parts of JP Morgan, Chief Operating Officer,

a 9-11.

I was in Lower Manhattan as the Chief Administrative Officer with 16,000 people.

Several World Trade Center was building.

And I just was blessed in the bosses I had.

And then, you know, I get the opportunity to work for the President of the United States.

And the blessing continues.

So I was running a public company for 12 years, 48 quarters of earnings growth.

And S&P 100 that served every American household.

And I had an opportunity from the President to run Social Security for the country.

And a freedom not just to run it, but to change it.

To transform it.

You know, in the government, sometimes they use the phrase modernize.

I use transformation.

You know, these are really technology agencies, technology businesses.

But with Social Security, we have 330 million Americans with Social Security numbers.

We're serving every one of them.

Yes, we pay out over 70 million Americans of 1.5, 1.6 trillion a year.

But we serve every American household.

And then you have, you know, so what we've done there is we've taken call wait times down.

Proudest moment is in a couple of weeks we had transformed the website.

It had 29 hours of downtime.

And it had service hours.

And today it's up every day, 24 hours a day.

We have over 100 million digital users.

We've been driving that while we're very dedicated to our field offices.

And we've cut phone wait times from, you know, in the last administration.

There were 40 minutes on average.

And they're single digits right now at peak season.

All technology, I see the career leaders in the org so embraced in wanting this change.

And, you know, when you walked in there as the outside guy, they didn't resent you push back

and say we have a way of doing things.

Or it took a while, you know, but I've been through a lot of, a lot of turn arounds.

First data was one of the great turn around.

So I took the mortgage company during the crisis.

That was a great turn around 2008.

It was called first data.

I've got to two that it was first data in 2013.

I took that job.

But when I take the mortgage business at JP Morgan Chase during the, during the housing crisis,

we turned it around and we restarted the housing market.

And, you know, around the global transaction bank at city group,

which turned into its best run business.

I'm proud of the people that are that took it after me.

And it's always about getting people to understand culture,

being one team, one dream.

We're doing that IRS right now.

We call it the team called it one IRS, right?

And everybody's working for each other with each other.

They said it's very hard with civil servants.

That's not the mindset.

Am I wrong?

I think it requires a governance structure.

Our governance structure looks like this for both orgs.

A weekly staff meeting, normal, but maybe not normal for everybody.

I never knew not having one in the beginning of the week.

Once a month, an all day management meeting to make sure everything we're doing is on track.

Wow.

Wow.

A whole day.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

And I learned that from Sandy Wilde.

I learned it from Jamie Diamond.

CEO of CityBank.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And when we were the biggest bank in the world and the best bank in the JP Morgan was.

So these are disciplines that those great leaders taught me that I've had the ability to bring

into my own companies as a 12 year public company CEO and bring it to the government.

We get together once a week and go through every key indicator with multiple levels of management.

We have a risk meeting once a week to go through any risk-related items.

And what are the largest financial services businesses in the world?

IRS and SSA.

So let's talk about some of the improvements you've made.

When it comes to reimbursements, people are filing their taxes now.

They get about it getting their paperwork together.

If they get the April 15th as a deadline.

But now you would just tell me it's an eight or nine day turnaround on your refund?

Yeah, what we're doing right now is, first of all, to frame it.

During tax season, which started on time when there were a lot of pundits that were questioning it

because of staffing levels, because of all the change.

But of course, because Elon Musk came in there and doged it before you kind of got there, right?

It was definitely before I got there.

But the fact of matter is, as I like to say, nobody said this staffing level we had was the right staffing level.

And right now we're delivering single digits on the phones for Americans, right?

And we're getting, as I said, direct deposits, which is the 90 plus percent of the payments

out within an average of nine days.

I think when you look at this tax season, 40% of the people have already filed.

We have 56 million filings already.

Taxes and viewed as 140 million.

And what's really important is 43% of the filings have a schedule 1A.

What's the schedule 1A?

It's a deduction from the Working Families Tax Act.

So think about that.

Which is a big, beautiful bill.

Big, beautiful bill.

The number one claim deduction on that is overtime.

You want to talk about working families tax cut, working families love overtime.

And you see it going on now.

And also what to recognize is.

And they get to keep it.

Yes.

And you also have what probably will be the largest economic deduction.

The benefit to seniors on social security.

So tell me about that because it didn't go, you couldn't do it exactly like you want.

I said, don't pay tax on social security.

You couldn't do it exactly that way.

So which way did he end up doing it?

It ended up that it's up to $6,000 for an individual filer.

Up to $12,000 for a joint filer of a deduction.

So that's all money back in those seniors pockets.

As the president, the president, what he delivered and what the Congress ultimately delivered was probably the most landmark.

Legislation and tax.

We have bigger refunds going out.

You know, we talked about $1,000 more on a refund.

If you look at those who took that schedule 1A, it's $775 right now.

But our research and analytics group and I sat with them the other day.

Have it going up to $1,000 because there's more returns coming in later.

Wow.

And so very, very powerful.

And I'm so proud of the organization, a technology organization, a servicing organization because they're delivering.

We have a national taxpayer advocate who actually is confirmed and reports.

And they're advocating for taxpayers.

I talked to her yesterday before the Congressional hearing.

I said, if I was to quote you, what would you say?

Everything is going smoothly.

And you know, any issue we see is an anomaly of an individual.

It's really been really been amazing work.

So it's going to be encouraging because we're going to know.

We're going to know when you file your taxes, communications grade, what about the refunds.

And we're going to see how this all goes because the president since no one's felt the big, beautiful bill yet.

Because they really got to file their taxes first.

And that's when there's a double, double benefit here.

Deductions are coming down.

We made a lot of items.

I say we liberally, led by the president, made a lot of items permanently like a double standard deduction.

Right.

So in 26 right now, people are getting a bigger paycheck because of better deductions that occurred.

A tax credit, child tax credit.

And then you see small businesses getting a $199.8 pass through benefit.

All of this made permanent.

And so we're seeing more, more employers feeling that they have more money to spend.

And that means more employment.

And it means better opportunities than a growth in America.

I hear you.

So yesterday you were testifying.

Was it the first time you testified in Capitol Hill after your confirmation?

No, I had been to House and Ways Means for Social Security for hearing.

And then yesterday it was the IRS.

Who's it like?

It's always kind of fun.

You know, three hours and 40 minutes.

You know, I think Chairman Smith did a great job.

People, people very enthused about the outcomes.

I'd say on both sides of the aisle, it was well recognized that IRS is delivering.

You know, the most powerful number I love is that 40% more online inquiries to us,

meaning taxpayers self-serving.

They could, they could hit a button and say, where's my refund?

And they could get an update.

I want to get some tips if I can, Frank.

On people listening out there, on what scams to look for and how to know if it's really you.

The Social Security is really the IRS, as opposed to some scammer out there,

because these guys are getting better and better.

Hey, we are back.

We are back.

Frank Bizignano is here.

He's the Social Security Administrator and CEO of the IRS.

Frank, you got your hands full.

First off, I didn't talk to you about the Trump accounts yet.

So how much money is in it?

And how many people have already signed up for the Trump accounts?

Well, you know, we have multiple things going on.

We have three million dependence.

We have two million forms, 45, 47.

It's growing every day.

It's growing every day.

Remember, they don't start inception till July 4th, 26.

Right?

So you have Michael Dell and his family.

God bless them, planning over $6 billion.

That means $250 for every person who has a Trump account.

We have about 750,000 of newborns.

And then the rest are dependents.

It is so early and so powerful.

It's an IRA opportunity of a lifetime for Americans.

And it's just in the infancy of that.

And three million people have signed up for it already for their kids.

Yes.

And is that, could you be a grandparent in sign up for it?

Yes, you can.

Yes.

So you could be a grandparent and say, I want to put it for my three grandchildren.

Exactly.

Okay.

And then it's my five.

And in the ideal world, and people said that people getting a gift for a four-year-old, five-year-old,

they say, I donated $200 to your account, right?

Yes.

Or more.

Or less.

Yes.

And you can't touch it till you're 18.

18.

But I, I, I, the belief is we're going to teach financial discipline.

We all know that, you know, maybe a, maybe a, a long time ago in my era, you had a past

book and you went to the bank and, I mean, put in $5.

Get there before three o'clock.

Yeah.

And, and I taught many people financial discipline.

You know, the presence and actement of this is unparalleled.

And the secretary is, after Secretary Bessent, what he's doing is creating something that

will be multi-generational.

I remember Kevin Hart had this talk and he was trying to teach, talk to kids in inner

city.

And he's trying to teach them that they could be part of the economy, point and part of

investment because he said, for example, where do you shop?

And he goes, where do you get that backpack?

Well, I went to Walmart.

I got that backpack.

Okay.

Do you want to buy a stock in Walmart?

Is that a good story?

Yeah.

Well, what would you want to buy a stock in it?

He was had to do it.

People thinking like that who don't have a dad like you, Frank, who did this for a living

and maybe brought his friends home and they overheard it at the dinner table.

You know, so you have that.

And the other thing to keep in mind, is there anything you could offer people?

And I get this all the time and I know very small people have fallen for it.

The fraud.

Sometimes you might feel some social security.

Sometimes it might be from the IRS.

You get scared.

You answer the questions and next thing you know, you're hacked.

Well, this is a national consumer protection week.

Across the government, let it SSA, it's slam the scam day.

Today is slam the scam day.

And how tips on this are quite simple.

First and foremost, everybody should tell everybody, you know,

the IRS or SSA is not going to threaten you.

Tell you something bad is going to happen if you don't hurry up and send us money.

And phone calls never going to ask for some personal identifiers.

And the whole trick on the scammers is to put you in panic mode.

You must do this now or something really bad is going to happen.

And at that moment, you should just hang up the phone and report it.

Right?

That's slam the scam.

We're partnering with the Inspector General and we've had huge success.

We want to protect almost vulnerable communities, right?

That's where they go to, right?

And in fact, we want everybody to always know you're never going to get a phone call

from social security or IRS that says you have to hurry up and go send us this money

or we're shutting down your social security number.

I have an economic question for you.

Yes sir.

I just read today as well as JAP Morgan Chase is doing,

they're laying off a large number of people.

And I'm wondering, you know the financial sector, these are all your friends, right?

So what's going on there yet?

It seems to be a great time for bankers, but yet they should be adding to the roster.

Is AI taking a bite of this?

Well, I think, you know, look at, you probably saw a block said they were going to cut the old square,

the payment company that I so happily competed against half their workforce, half their workforce.

Now there's so many AI, but it is there is AI coming in, but in fact, you'd have to say

where people just over hiring over time and AI is a potential crutch for exactly what to deal with.

Yes, AI will bring the benefits, but you know, I've always said through my whole career,

technology is the great enabler, but I've really never seen technology not drive to more opportunity.

So thus employment still continues on.

You're not worried about, for people listening to us right now who are a very, you know, college degree,

should they worry about AI?

They should brace it, figure out how to utilize it.

I mean, I think, you know, I love the technology sector for people coming out of school.

I love the finance sector for people coming out of school.

I think if you look at any chart, you'll see them always having explosive growth.

And, you know, historically good performers and good companies.

We're good.

So let's carry your IRS because you got a great CEO.

Thank you.

Thank you.

America leads the world in medicine development.

It matters.

We get new medicines first nearly three years faster.

Five million Americans go to work because we make medicines here at home.

And not relying on other countries keeps us safe.

But China is racing to overtake us.

Will we let them?

Or will we choose to stay ahead?

When America leads, America cures.

Let's tell Washington to keep us in the lead.

Always seeking solutions.

Never selling to vision.

It's Brian.

Kill me.

I'm going to be welcome to the latest moments of the Brian Kill Me Show.

We have a lot going on today.

We come to you from Midtown Manhattan.

Heard around the country and around the world.

Sage Steel is going to be in studio.

One of the most talented sports casters.

Now she does everything on her great podcast.

Josh Kraschauer bringing us inside politics.

And there's a lot to discuss.

We'll cut up in the war and I get it.

But we also have a lot of primary intrigue.

And a lot of I thought some upsets as well as some run offs.

I didn't think was going to go that direction.

And we'll take a look at that.

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

Number three.

How many people have been indicted in your state right now?

Do you know Governor?

I don't have those numbers with me.

But you've never said to stop payment.

That's one of the highest rates in the country, sir.

You have one of the highest fraud rates in the country.

Yes, good point, James Comer, chairman of the oversight committee.

That is a little of what is going on with all the scams that are happening right now in this country.

Cost on the economy.

Look at this war in the degree of the short term pain and energy that America will be patient for.

Also the fraud front and center and screwed these on Minnesota.

Number two.

This will definitely be temporary.

The Trump administration's energy addition, energy dominance agenda,

have just massively grown global supplies of oil, natural gas.

But yeah, we're going to have a transient bump up as we've seen in gasoline prices.

We do a little bit.

Straight of Hormuz.

The Iranian said you can go through unless you are Americans or Israelis or Europeans.

Not good enough to bring the price of oil down, we're going to discuss it.

Number one.

For the first time since 1945, a United States Navy fast attack submarine has sunk an enemy combatant ship using a single Mark 48 torpedo to achieve immediate effects sending the warship to the bottom of the sea.

That is pretty impressive.

General Dan Cain.

U.S. and Israel ramp up targets in Iran, eliminating the Navy.

Yup, the Navy focusing on leadership and launchers.

We have the latest as the pace of this war really picks up.

It's not going to be a long one.

Trump knows exactly what he's doing, even if they're not communicating it necessarily on one note.

And a part of the reason is there's more than one reason to go after Iran.

There's the history, there's the pace in which the talks were happening.

There's rebuilding of the two nuclear sites that were blown up about eight months ago.

And there of course is the ballistic missiles about a hundred a month thanks to China that are going out and being expedited along with the drone technology that's happening.

As well as financing, supporting, energizing, planning and plotting with Hamas and Hezbollah.

And that's why when you talk to a Trump official, a lot of times they say, well, you got multiple reasons for the war.

Which is it? How about all of it?

With me right now, Josh Crosshawar.

Josh, welcome.

Hey, Brian, good to be back with you.

So yesterday the Senate did not vote to stop the president from conducting this war.

Not that it would have mattered anyway.

And now the House, how do you think the House is going to go?

Well, you know what's interesting.

I think there are two Republicans were watching that may vote against the leadership.

That's as you know, Tom Massey, Kentucky and Warren Davidson may also join him from Ohio.

But you know, it's looking like they're actually will be maybe slightly more Democrats that break with their party.

We already saw John Satterman do do so during the Senate for yesterday.

But Josh Gottheimer from New Jersey, Cradle Handsman of Ohio, have said that they're actually not going to be supporting party leadership.

So, you know, you have a few of them in both parties going to get generally a party won't vote.

I will say talking to a number of Democrats, moderate, Tom Swasey or Jared Mosquets and Florida, you know, a handful of others.

There's a discomfort.

They are 100% on board that Congress should authorize and play a role in helping ratify the foreign policy that Trump has that degree or disagree.

But they are supportive of the overall mission.

And you saw that in some of the statements that came out in the immediate aftermath of the war that, you know, there was a United Democratic front against Trump not seeking congressional authorization.

But a notable number of Democrats did speak out against the Iranian regime, the Ayatollah, and generally you spoke in favor of the troops.

I still think that's a minority within the caucus, but there is a divide within the Democratic party beyond just the authorization and whether they support the mission.

Yeah, I want you to hear what some critics have said.

Olivia Beaver is from the Wall Street Journal.

He says this is what the Democrats are telling her, cut 20.

Democrats, as you can imagine, and as the Senate vote was, it was split.

They feel like the administration really wasn't giving them answers for their decision to launch what they described as a defensive operation.

So the one thing that came out with Steve Woodkov sat down with Sean Hannity.

There would have been better through with one message is that the Iranians told them when they first started talking to them again.

They said we got 460 kilograms of enriched uranium.

We can make 11 bombs and we're not going to do it.

We're not giving that up.

They almost got up after that.

And they dealt with them with a couple more rounds and he just told the president nothing's changing.

It's gone from posturing to dug in.

So you bring that up and I don't know what Oman was saying.

They say we're really making progress.

You're not making progress.

This is the same game they're always playing.

And we cannot keep our troops and our assets for too long without using them.

So it's either you're going to deal and we're going to pull out or you're not going to deal and we're going to attack and we're attacking.

Yeah, well, I think the process arguments is what unites the party.

Now the substance that we're at war is whether the little more more debate.

Look, anyone who pay attention to those negotiations in Oman and Geneva over the last few months knew that Iran was not continuing one win of anything that would have been significant.

And if there was actual progress that they actually really were committed to giving up ballistic missiles or not in which the uranium and material.

There actually may have been a deal, but Iran was fine time, posturing, doing what they do best.

I mean, this was sort of their playbook during the Obama years.

If you were looking at it, we cut a deal which Trump pulled out of, but it Iran was already by the end of that deal, you know, not living up to it's end of the bark.

We know how the Iran's play these negotiations and it was pretty much part for the course and anyone paying attention knows that reality.

Look, I think on the message in front of the White House.

This is something that happens a lot of administrations with their, you know, but there's a lot of reasons to engage or go and go and, you know, go, go use force against the enemy.

You know, a lot of reasons you can point to the nuclear pursuit. You can point to the fact that sponsoring terrorist groups throughout the region that destabilize an effect.

But I will say that, you know, I think the Trump administration would have been a little, little, the themselves of the servers if they actually kind of spent a little more time preparing the public, making the argument a little more in the state of the union that Trump gave a few weeks ago, you know, preparing the public.

I think the public is sort of catching up to a lot of the arguments and they're still processing things as we go along.

Let me ask him, you know, Trump had such bad experience with the NSA, you know, Alexander Vindman linking out calls, the anonymous guy writing a book about him.

And he never really trusted people listening on the line didn't even know what he's having world leaders conversations like that hasn't happened.

Part of the reason is he doesn't want not want an NSA. He's like, I'm just going to deal with my group, you know, I'll keep Wilson formed in New York.

I'll keep Rubio. He's got two jobs. And, you know, I got my vice president. And because of that, maybe, and of course the communications White House communications, maybe Josh, and you're the expert, you're there every day.

Maybe it would have been easier to make that message more coherent if they were had that the traditional NSA. Do you think I'm right about that?

Yeah, I mean, look, that's the danger of limiting your inner circle to a really trusted group of people in Marco Rubio has done a tremendous job.

He's really run point on a whole lot of fronts, but only one person can only do so much and having allies having a bigger bureaucracy that's able to communicate, able to work with allies, able to kind of work with the embassies to evacuate.

If any of these are things that having people having kind of that organization there ahead of time would have been helpful.

I think the White House would tell you that they also wanted the element of surprise. They wanted to, you know, catch a Randolph guard. And they did during the daytime where they were able to initially the initial strike against the Itoll and some of the top, top officials really, really get the, you know, nail the, at least several dozen of top, top IRGC.

And political officials in the country. So, you know, that that's what there was a little bit of misdirection, I think, too. But look, the State of the Union, that would have been, I mean, I don't talk to talk about Iran a little bit during the State of the Union.

I would, given that speech, what two hours I would have, you know, had a foreign policy section and really laid out the threat historically and currently that Iran has posed and does pose.

And I think it was a little over them all over the map. And that section, I think that would have been the opportunity with tens of millions of Americans watching to really lay out the case that they've been playing a little bit of catch up in the interim.

Joshua, the Fox News Radio put a glanalyst and editor in chief of the Jewish insider. So I noticed that these 2028 candidates for the first time they're going to be running against Israel.

They're going to be running, I guess, afraid to upset their anti-Semitic wing. And the Republicans have a portion of their party who's very anti-Israel. And Gavin Newsom, who changes like a weather vane, but the thing that drives him is what's hot politically.

He said this cut 24.

Do you think looking down the road that the United States should consider maybe, you know, rethinking our military support for Israel?

It's my heart because the current leadership in Israel is walking us down that path where I don't think you have a choice but that consideration.

Really?

Yeah, that was a real eyebrow razor from Gavin Newsom. It wasn't just that comment, but he also at one point suggested that Israel was a apartheid.

No, let's let people hear that cut 23.

The issue of BBs interesting because he's got his own domestic issues. He's trying to stay out of jail.

He's got an election coming up. He's potentially on the ropes. He's got folks the hard line that want to annex the West, the West Bank.

I mean, free men and others are talking about it appropriately, sort of in a apartheid state.

What does that sounds like a Palestinian talking point?

Yeah, I mean, just in the last two weeks, Brian, I mean, Gavin Newsom was asked at an event whether, you know, he would take money from APEG and he was sort of having an audience and say anything.

He got to the question.

Then he ended up doing a do over an attack APEG and ever since then he's been going harder and harder against Israel as the Democratic party has really just gone off the deep end in many ways.

The mainstream wing of the party has been swamped by the activist wing even during even during wartime, even even during a time when Israel's left threat from Iranian missiles and Iran.

It is certainly threatening the security of the Jewish state.

So, you know, it is puzzling. I talked to more Democrats in the last few weeks who have been shocked at the direction of their party and don't even know what they would call themselves Democrats anymore.

Pro-Israel Democrats, Jewish Democrats, all across the board moderate Democrats.

They are shocked at the rhetoric coming from the leading 20th, 28th presidential candidates.

Newsom was, you know, as liberal as Newsom is, he had been, you know, a pretty good ally of the Jewish community in California.

He had good relationship. You'd never said anything like this before.

But he's actually doing an interview with a podcaster at New Hampshire, one of the early primary states today, who has made some of the most obscene comments about Israel, including Sinothera.

Terrorist state and he's doing a prominent interview in New Hampshire with this podcaster.

I mean, so he's clearly claimed to the very extreme left.

It's where a lot of the activists are demanding the party goes.

And it's going to make things awfully uncomfortable in the months to come.

In a primary that may play, you know, okay, I mean, I thought the way the Democratic Party seems to be going.

This is toxic for swing voters, for persuadable voters.

When you're softer on Iran than you are with one of the closest U.S. allies in Israel.

But Josh, the thing is, what worries me is even Josh Shapiro is not as fervent pro-Israel.

And, you know, Trump is out there, but I don't know.

I don't think JD Vance is pro-Israelist Trump.

So I'm wondering, I'm worried about that relationship.

And if I'm netting Yahoo, I knock out all my enemies right away now because this might be your last chance.

Under Trump to do it.

I think there's something to that.

I mean, the tie is pretty clear now.

On the Republican side, the elect, you could only name one or two elected officials on the Republican side in Congress that are anti-Israelis.

It's Vance's office, perhaps.

And it's the social media wing of the party.

I think there's a lot to worry about among younger, you know, conservatives.

And in the future, but right now, the elected officials are pretty much strongly supportive.

On the Democratic side, we saw those early kind of early seeds being planted five, six years ago.

And now the party is, you know, reminds me of when Republicans were speaking out against Ukraine.

There was not many Republicans.

You know, it started out with a small number.

And there was a defection of it.

And I would argue right now that there are more, you know, Democrats that are anti-Israelis than there were ever Republicans that were, you know, against Ukraine during the war, as it goes on.

I know.

I mean, that's a sign of the, like, the horseshoe theory that the far left and the far right finding common cause.

But it's kind of shocking how fast that is accelerated.

I don't want to give the name out because I don't want to give them more credit or clicks.

But one prominent podcaster just said we all know Israel's behind 9-11.

I mean, that's where this is going.

The Rosio Donald whack job stuff.

So I'm just, my jaw has been on the ground on this issue really since October 7, 2023.

Go ahead.

Yeah.

Well, I was going to say, given the online ecosystem, these conspiracy theories, these radical, extreme views spread faster and get seen faster than ever before.

When you look at polls, you ask normal people like what they think.

These are still fringe views.

So the fact that you have, you saw this in 2020, Democrats chased all these fringe views that was on, that was percolating online about all these different wonk issues and activist issues.

You realize that no one really supported them.

And then you had literally everyone marching off the cliff.

I guess it was Joe Biden who was the only one that kind of held the line and, you know, reality intervened.

So I think you're seeing a similar dynamic where Democrats think because they're online so much everyone's backed by Israel.

But the reality is, even the most pessimistic polls show the public is pretty evenly divided in their view of Israel.

Democrats have certainly moved in one direction.

But this rhetoric about Israel being a terrorist state, apart from the kind of nonsense that just, so ludicrous on its face, that's the kind of stuff that's going to get the Democrats in trouble if they continue to pander.

Right.

And also the Republicans, the extreme right and Republican side, I find equally, because I expect more, equally is disturbing.

But it not between me and you, we're on the same page.

Josh, thanks so much.

Appreciate it.

Thanks, friends.

So help me out here.

We have some great affiliates in Texas.

Is that the type of guy that you want representing?

The people of Texas.

That is the idol of Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel and those on the left.

That's supposed to deliver a Democrat who's supposed to flip the seat, beat Kornin or Ken

Paxon.

That is James Taloriko.

He just beat Crockett, who was in tears, blaming Republicans for losing to a Democrat in

a Democrat primary.

Good luck.

That made no sense.

But Taloriko, I think he's got some issues, big time.

And I think more stuff is going to come out on him.

Here's Taloriko on changing politics and Crockett going after Republicans.

This is where he had to say cut 48.

We are not just trying to win an election.

We are trying to fundamentally change our politics.

I can tell you now that people have been disenfranchised.

This is what Republicans like to do.

What if Republicans have to do with a Democratic primary?

She's upset about the way Democrats win their primary in Dallas.

And you're blaming?

And she cried.

You lost.

And she called up.

She called the guy and said congratulations, but soon she'll be out.

And I think the best idea for her is the view.

Something that we just listened to and they can clap after things she says, because as

a politician, she's useless.

She's theatrical, that's it.

Just like Congresswoman Bobert and others, they're not there to make a difference.

They're there to get famous, and she's one of the worst by far.

And by the way, who told her it would be a good idea to run?

I would have just tried to keep her seat, even greet district or not.

Listen to the Friday and kill me, Joe.

Back in the morning.

The talk show that's getting you talking.

You're with Brian Kilmeade.

Hey, with me right now is Sage Steel.

How do I know?

I met her in person and she looks exactly the same.

She's got a great podcast called the Sage Steel Show.

And when she comes here, she steals the show.

Wow.

Because everyone loves you and looks to book you.

And thanks so much for coming in, Sage.

I love hanging with you, though.

No offense ever.

With the first Fox person.

Yes.

I was.

Yes.

Yes.

So nervous to meet you.

Right.

And you're not scary.

I'm really not scary.

I'm sorry.

It deserves a credit for that, right, Allison?

Because you realized when you were fondly a free agent.

You did your first interview with Megan?

Megan Kelly?

Yeah.

Two, 48 hours later.

Pretty raw.

Yeah.

That was, I think, back about that time.

That was August of 23.

Wow.

And we became friends because we had the same attorney.

That she helped her after her NBC fiasco.

And then me with the SPN with Brian Friedman.

He's also with Justin Baldoni right now.

Like the guy is a genius, frankly.

And so that's how Megan and I met and she had me on.

And from there, who knew that I'd be allowed in this building as a point, too?

No, absolutely.

And now you, I mean, you're on with Sean all the time.

Yeah.

You're on with Jesse all the time.

Jesse, yeah.

So, and how's the podcast world going?

It's going well, Brian.

This whole thing is a thing that I had wanted no part of.

Mm-hmm.

And now here we are.

I love it.

And it's taken me a minute to fully appreciate the freedom with it.

And when all you know is 30 years of network, local regional national.

And it has to be managed to get it done, right?

Yes.

And directives and 64 bosses.

Like, it's so weird to be able to say, you know what?

I would be honored if I could talk to Brian and kill me on my show, which is going to happen.

Yes.

And so that freedom and to talk about whatever you want and to have an opinion that I believe

should be based in fact, right?

But to go out there and say what you want and not be afraid of what your employer is going to say.

I used to get pulled in and asked about, you know, why are you liking this person's tweets?

We're noticing this.

It's like, what?

So, the freedom part of it is amazing.

I'm not a great entrepreneur.

I've never done that.

I had no interest.

My husband, fortunately, is and is helping with that side of it.

And he's done that in his whole life.

But it's a blessing.

There's so many blessings that come with getting canceled.

Who knew?

Who knew?

Well, don't you think the canceled era is virtually over?

I feel like it.

But they're hanging on.

They don't want to let go of it, you know?

But what happens is that when people hate to sound dramatic, but you rise from the ashes,

when you believe that you were worthless actually.

You're like, oh my gosh, everybody's crashing on me that this must be true.

And then you wake up the next day and you're still breathing.

And then you're like, wow, I can actually walk and talk too.

When you do that, others who've lived in fear of speaking up,

realize, well, maybe I need to do this too.

Maybe it's my time because if they survived it, then I can too.

And that is one of the reasons why I think now, yeah,

the cancel culture era is going away quickly, not quickly enough in my mind,

compared to what so many people have been through.

But Courage Begets Courage.

And I never looked at my thing as courage.

It was just standing up for what I thought was right.

But Riley Gaines talks about that all the time.

And Courage Begets Courage, and when you used to be,

look at all these other young women athletes

who are now stepping up and saying, no,

I shouldn't have to be in a locker room with a boy.

This is sick.

But I don't know that that would have happened

if not for some of those young women like Riley.

Well, you could make a repino.

This is to your point, not mine.

She is still ripping on everything that doesn't say that there are two,

there are seven genders.

Yes.

And men should be able to play on the women's national team.

I guess, well, with that due to her.

But she, you know, I had so much respect for her.

And I would like to separate that as a player, right?

But otherwise, and I try not to personalize it,

but she discussed me.

Because what she has done has been strategic.

And maybe she believes this the whole time.

Maybe she's just virtually circling, I don't know.

I think she believes it.

But to wait until the end of your career,

when you've got millions of dollars in your pocket,

to then all of a sudden say, yeah, it's fine.

And all you anti-trans racists,

what like the stuff that she's called me and many other people.

Why didn't she attack you?

Oh, she did.

She did it with me, Dave Chappelle,

and someone else in the same sentence,

and how we are a danger to the trans community,

but with what we say that women's spaces should be protected.

And it is just so convenient and sick that she waits to the end.

Because remember, when the women's national team

lost to you, I think it was an under 15 boys team

from Texas, like high school kids.

And there's no shame, guess what?

Men are different from women.

News flash, news bulletin, right?

And so she knows she would never have had the career

that she had, the illustrious career,

if men had been in her sport.

So she's full of it, she discussed me,

and she's doing such a disservice

to so many millions of young women and girls

who've looked up to her this entire time.

But I think, you know what?

I saw her and Duncan Donuts answer a few years ago.

I don't see her now.

Also, the way her career ended was so bizarre.

She misses a penalty kick.

And she's like, is this a bad joke?

No, no, you missed a penalty kick.

It's not a bad, it's called the way it happens in sports.

You don't always win a championship,

you don't always score the goal,

and they just, they blew that whole tournament.

Because those women,

totally unlikeable, by the way.

And you're talking about somebody that was there in 93.

I watched Mia Ham and Julie Fati and Christine Lilly

and all those.

I covered Brianna Scurry and Goal,

and of course they win the World Cup in front of 100,000

and Pasadena.

I was there.

Bill Clinton went to the locker room.

Yeah.

And he partnered with the girls.

What a concept.

Yeah.

And but there was no cameras,

so he didn't get any bowback from it like this press.

And I don't think he would have.

But this could, this last one,

the new one, a great.

I don't know about them personally,

but professionally,

the new era seems to be good.

But the last one that just left, I could do without.

Yeah, and listen,

some of the young women in the NWSL right now

are doing some of the things,

same things Megan is doing.

And by, I've got the name of their teammate

who was out on one of the teams in California.

For the professional women's league.

Yeah, I'm sorry,

the professional women's league.

And who just said,

listen, I'm sorry,

trans women,

slash men,

do not belong in our spaces.

And what are their teammates do?

They came out and they attacked her

and they held a press conference.

Like, it's insanity.

So unfortunately,

that's the point about Rapinoe.

And people like that,

the impact actually runs deep.

Yes, common sense should prevail.

But when you are a legend,

like Rapinoe was on the pitch,

she does have that influence.

And you know, I mean,

she's very much involved.

I think she's one of the owners,

Vangel City or one of those teams.

So it does matter what she says.

But I do love that more and more people are now

telling her where to shop it.

Frankly, because it's just factually incorrect.

So I can't believe it.

It's just factually incorrect.

So I coached a couple of players

that are in the MLS right now.

And their brothers.

And I asked to go out to this MLS team.

I go, wouldn't it be good to do a feature?

And they say, Brian,

maybe you do it where they're having

Thanksgiving and they go to practice the next day.

And they see where they've been and be doing

a nice feature.

So many different ways.

And that team said,

I don't really think we want to be on Fox.

So for the MLS,

to turn down a national audience,

even though they don't have a national audience.

They need an audience.

And unless you're messy,

when messy plays, it's different.

It's different.

Yeah.

And he's not American.

I mean, you're still trying to grow the sport.

And that's the decision that you make.

I've never heard of that.

It's insane.

And this is not about sports,

but it reminds me leading up to the election.

I was, yes, on the campaign trail,

something I said I also would never do.

And I remember Brian going with Laura Trump

and Tulsi Gabbard and Danny Capatric

and so many of these people.

And we were like,

having a great time.

It was a blast with our pink jacket.

Women for Trump.

Point is, I was shocked to see

that we were going to food pantries in Atlanta

and Charlotte.

And we'd go up for the day and help.

And unload the food that was being donated

by the, you know, Trump toll all of the time.

So many.

Yeah, so many.

It doesn't matter where it's coming from.

It's free food for your community.

Do you know that it took in Atlanta the first stop?

The fourth one that we called

who was willing to accept free food

for the country and the community.

Because why?

It was associated with Trump.

So don't tell me you care about it.

Don't tell me you care about your communities

when you're turning down free food and resources

for poor people in Atlanta and Charlotte

just because it had Trump's name associated with it.

Problem is, so it's everywhere throughout culture sports you name it

where people just run away from it instead of saying,

okay, let's look past.

Yeah.

The politics of it and the good of it.

We're trying to promote soccer for God's sake.

But the one thing I do get and

community is to know this too,

that sometimes if you say,

hey, as long as it's not politics,

because you don't want to,

if they don't want to,

you want to do a feature on the team,

you want to make sure that stadium is packed.

So unless they're,

unless the player insists on it,

if they say to me,

but I don't bring up politics,

I wouldn't.

This is about them

with their chiefs and their family.

But that I understand.

If I'm media-relationsers.

Yeah.

And unless that player just says,

no, I want to talk about it.

Like, for example, Phil Mickelson,

he comes up to me,

I'm doing this event for his for live.

And I'm at the

Durauk golf club of Donald Trump.

Miami, yep.

Yeah.

So he's my last interview.

I can't wait to talk to him.

He's so opinionated.

And before we walk up,

they go, I just got to tell you,

whatever you do,

don't bring up politics.

I go, all right.

I got two or three things to talk about.

Why you left California?

How he feels now?

Exactly.

Things he's been very public about himself.

Thinking to myself,

they went out of their way to say it.

I'm like, should I do it?

So I go, okay.

It's a morning show.

I want to talk about politics.

You have plenty to talk about.

We're done.

And then afterwards, he says to me,

oh, I want to talk to you.

He goes, I was going to bring up

stuff about politics.

I want to talk to about anything.

So the media relations people got ahead

and told me.

Publicists.

But that's why you always got to talk

to the athlete or the coach first.

But.

Yeah.

And it stinks.

But they're the ones.

And how about if they're concerned,

they ask Phil first.

Don't speak for Phil.

I'd be furious if I'm Phil Michaels.

Absolutely.

Because now, I mean,

he is more vocal than ever.

Yeah.

And he got ripped for saying,

I'm going to move out of California,

because taxes are too high.

Can you imagine that?

Now that everybody's moving out of California.

Yeah.

It's unfortunate.

I think there's so many athletes

who want to, who want to speak up.

And it's just like the prior conversation,

like the more who do it in a sane,

actually based way that represents their opinion.

Yeah.

There's nothing wrong with that.

That's actually what we need more of.

It's the way that you do it.

If you're tearing down others when you do it,

okay, fine.

Yeah.

But he's allowed to have an opinion.

So let's talk about hockey.

And it only seems like two lifetimes to go

because we're in the middle of a war.

Yeah.

But the USA hockey team wins,

gets a call from the president.

Yeah, whether the FBI director

should have been partying or not.

That's a separate conversation.

But he's a huge hockey guy.

We also know people,

very professional.

You put him around that athlete

or sport, you know, they go crazy.

Oh, they do.

They're human.

He goes to, yeah,

I'll enter season,

take it hold.

There's goes to the game.

So Cash Patel,

that's a separate argument.

But to have the president on speaker phone,

when you know that,

George Allen was called into Nixon.

We used to give George Allen plays

for the redskins,

Gerald Ford.

This used to be a,

Ronald Reagan was the biggest sports fan ever.

Yeah.

And that's controversial.

And then the so-called joke the president said,

you know, I got to invite the women.

How do you feel about that whole thing?

I sometimes I just hate our media for this reason.

It's like these guys who were as classy

and have been since then as classy.

When people ask me who are your favorite athletes

to interview over a 30 year sports career,

it is always hockey players.

Always.

And HL first.

And then we can debate from their football basketball.

Baseball was always the toughest, frankly.

Like, I love these guys.

Baseball.

So you said baseball?

Yeah, major league baseball.

I think it's because they have 162 games.

They're like, leave me alone.

I get it.

But hockey guys are always so grateful and so, so humble.

Listen, at the end of the day,

it doesn't matter who the commander in chief is.

The commander in chief is called.

Yeah.

And always happens for the most part, right?

Whenever there's a championship of any kind, one,

I love how they handled it.

They knew it was a joke.

They laughed.

And they're like, yeah.

Like, we doubled up.

We're two for two.

Like, no one cared until certain people told us we should care.

Yeah, the Caspatel thing.

I prefer to not see him in there.

I think he's busy, busy or these days.

And you go to the game.

Do we need to be in there?

Fine.

But there's nothing wrong with the President of the United States,

calling to congratulate you and to invite you.

I think it's a missed opportunity for the women.

Sounds like they are going to eventually go.

But I love how these guys have handled it ever since,

with every single medium-undit, trying to get them to say Donald Trump.

And the whole thing, sage sealer, I guess,

says the whole thing is, they can't drive a wedge between two teams

that pulled for each other, they trained with each other.

They were in the same, I guess hotel or dorm, whatever it was.

But they went to each other's games.

So when you have the men did this and the women did this,

they said, well, we have no friction, we have no problem.

So don't make it up.

You know, I-

Yeah, he was said, the one who scored the game winning goal.

He said that the one who scored the women's game winning goal,

also a two-one game and overtime, that she inspired him against.

She inspired him.

She inspired him.

Like, there's so much love between these two.

And so I think it's pathetic.

And it would never have happened had this been under Joe Biden or Barack Obama.

Or even George Bush.

It's a different time, a different era.

But people want to find any reason to hate more on Donald Trump.

And the best thing is, most of those guys said, I don't care.

I'm going to the White House because it's the White House.

And because we won this for America.

Yeah, and we had a chance to meet them.

And they especially like this president, I have to notice.

I noted, hey, if we can, here's Charles Barkley talking about this whole incident.

Everything is not Democrat, Republican conservative, a liberal.

That's why we got this divided, screwed up country.

I'm not a Trump guy.

But if I got invited to the White House, I would go.

I'm not a Trump guy.

I want to make that clear.

But I respect the office.

He's the president of the United States.

So simple.

Makes sense.

But then you look at the contrast of that with like a Steve Kerr and a Doc Rivers and a Greg Popovich.

It's just the worst.

He's the worst.

But now he's kind of gone and you pray for him, his health is a thing.

Doc Rivers is the worst.

The DMs he has sent me, crushing me for my beliefs.

Oh, he goes right out.

And I was like, Doc, remember that whole thing, diversity of thought.

It's not just diversity of skin color, which is what you guys always want to make it about race.

But it's Doc and who used to be a friend of mine and Steve Kerr, etc.

They lead with divisiveness and hatred and judgment.

Because I actually said to Doc, this is a very long DM chain.

And I was like, you just hate the fact that you can't put me in a box because of my skin color.

I'm supposed to think a certain way and vote a certain way and marry a certain way.

You, people like you and Steve Kerr are the problem.

How about respecting people's opinions?

You don't know my story.

You don't know my why.

And I don't know yours.

I respect yours.

Why are you coming?

So I have no respect for those guys who are in such leadership positions.

And when they make their basketball press conferences about this, stop.

That is not, I tell this to my boss, it's Brian.

Why are we bringing politics into sports and sports center?

It's not why people watch us.

Right.

Steve Kerr, by the way, did his dad die in Beirut?

Yes.

I, Aaroni, and sponsored and supported Hezbollah, who blew up, killed 241 Americans back in 1983.

His dad was one of them.

His dad was.

And it's heartbreaking.

And people say, well, that's why his opinions, I'm like, again, it isn't necessarily what your opinion is.

It's the way you choose to condemn others for having a different opinion.

And damn, that is the opposite of what you people preach.

That was perfect way to go to break, so we will.

Where big stories need bigger conversations.

Stay informed and energized.

With a Brian Kilmeet show.

In 2024, a truck crashed into Canaw in Maurizcu, where I work.

146 of our dogs needed homes fast.

We asked for help on Facebook.

Our stories spread through WhatsApp messages and Instagram reposts.

Immediately, people stepped up.

And just six hours later, every dog was fostered.

He'll make your head span.

It's Brian Kilmeet.

Oh, Fred, we just finding out Britney Spears was arrested.

What are we talking about?

A dancing.

She's driving herself.

Who's going to deal with that?

I mean, say it's deal again.

The dancing videos is what she should be arrested for.

So you're in the news.

Did CBS.

Oh my gosh, I am so glad you're asking this question.

Brian, I literally heard nothing about any of this.

I had a reporter reach out 48 hours ago on my info at thing.

And I laughed.

I was like, this is some guy trying to, I have no idea what this is.

And yesterday, I'm on the flight coming here to New York.

And a friend sends me all these links to sage.

She'll say, I was like, what?

Not a single human being has ever reached out to me from CBS from anywhere.

So like.

It says he tried to know.

No, no, no.

I will look through emails to make sure I'm like, not one person.

You know what they did?

This is what happens all the time in the media business.

They threw a name out of a former host to, I don't know, has same skin color as Gail King.

I don't know.

Like threw me out there to manipulate and make it seem.

And I was actually kind of upset.

I'm like, wait, I'm kind of easy to find.

Pick up the phone if that's the case.

But I actually don't think they wanted to talk to me.

This was just a way.

Do you know her?

That Barry White's?

Never matter.

Yeah.

Never, never talk to her.

I like the free press.

I mean, I guess so.

That's what I need to look at it.

But and I've certainly respected her.

And what, I mean, what she, she inspired me with what she did.

She's been believing this part of the world now coming back, but I swear.

Thank you for asking her the first person to ask.

I had zero clue.

The stage deals show, where do we get your podcast?

YouTube, but never where you can find everyone else.

Everywhere else.

We're on YouTube too, but you were there first.

Alright, thanks so much, Sage.

Appreciate it.

Radio talk show. Brian Kilmead.

I've won so good you there. It's a Brian Kilmead show. We have a lot on the agenda today.

We're following the latest on the war. The president, excuse me, the secretary of war,

as well as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, visiting Sencom and Tampa. They gave

some remarks. We'll bring back some of them. Bottom line is going really well and the pace is

only going to pick up why. We opened up the skies and it looks like we basically have freedom.

Although I do worry because the defensive democracy statue that the Iranians have about 2,000

rockets and they've only set off about 700. So I'm wondering if they're pacing themselves.

But I'm sure the military knows much more than may call Rova standing by.

Ari soccer and Israeli rocket scientists with three decades of experience on anti-missile

technologies going to be here, including the iron dome help constructed. So before we get to

Carl, let's get to the big three number three. How many people have been indicted in your state

right now? Do you know governor? I don't have those numbers with me, but you've never said to stop

payment. That's what it's one of the highest rates in the country, sir. Well, you have one of the

highest fraud rates in the country. That is some of the exchange on the fraud trials yesterday.

I just feel as this governor attorney general enough about the embarrassment. I need to know,

give the whistleblowers to talk about how they were informed what you have said and why they

looked the other way has a lot to do with being politically correct, not caring and using the

Somali influence on their elections. Number two, this will definitely be temporary. The Trump

administration's energy addition energy dominance agenda have just massively grown global supplies

of oil, natural gas. But yeah, we're going to have a transient bump up as we've seen in gasoline

prices. We do a little bit cost on the economy. We look at the war and the degree of the short term

pain on energy will America be patient or make Trump pay the price? Number one, for the first time

since 1945, a United States Navy fast attacks a Marine has sunk an enemy combat and ship using a

single mark 48 torpedo to achieve immediate effects sending the warship to the bottom of the sea.

General Kane really outlining some fantastic performances by a military.

U.S. and Israel ramp up targets in Iran eliminating their navy, their navy focusing on leadership

and launchers. We have the latest Carl. It's almost as if it's back to the future for you.

I'm a lot of your time in the White House was you guys wrote war right up to 9-11. How does this feel

the same? Well, it feels the same in part because we had to deal with Iraq in Afghanistan with

the malign influence of Iranian of the Iranians. We've been at war with them. They've been at war

with us for 47 years, even at the moment that we haven't acknowledged it. Again, grabbing control

the skies was critical in both Iraq and in Afghanistan. It was easier to do obviously in Afghanistan

because the Taliban had firstly no modern air force. This is an extraordinary performance by the U.S.

and Israeli militaries and the degradation of the Iranian capabilities last year

is showed up this year and they've been further degraded. Essentially, their navy swiped out

their air forces in the process of being wiped out. Their military depots are being blown.

They're missile-making, they're missile fabrication facilities, they're launchers,

they're drone facilities, all of these are at risk for them. So, Carl, Condoleezza Rice,

your good friend, former Secretary of State, was out with Brett last night, also a good friend of yours.

Here's what she said. She seized the justification for this. And to me, wanted everyone to understand

the history, to understand fully why we're there, cut seven. If you can render Iran essentially

incapable of military action against us and against our allies, that's worthy. And I think what

they're trying to do is to neuter Iran as a military power in the region. And by the way,

the Iranians who I think made a strategic blunder in attacking the Gulf states, like the UAE

or Kuwait or others, is demonstrating that it is its goal to be a destabilizing force in the

Middle East. Yes, you can still be concerned about what may come after. You can still be concerned

about the uncertainties of warfare. But to render this awful regime incapable of using

its military power, that's a worthy goal. And that's what's got to be outlined. I think you

got to hear that from Tom Cotton, you got to hear that from Lindsey Graham, you got to hear

that from the President, the Vice President. Do you agree? Marcarubia? Yeah, in fact, I wrote my

column about it in the Wall Street Journal today. I mean, look, the military execution has been

superb. But the American people need to be told why we did this, what the stakes are,

what is going on. It was great to have Kane out there briefing. But the President needs to

consider giving an oval office address. And they need to have a deliberate plan to explain to

the American people at the highest levels. Can't leave it just to the Sunday morning programs.

I mean, those are Tom Cotton. You know, we had Michael Watts turn when we had Mike Turner,

the former Intel students, we had Senator Cruz. They were all good. But look, it is the President.

And the President needs to lay this out and continually talk about it in a way that the American

people can grasp. And otherwise support for this is going to diminish. And this is an important,

this will affect the future, not only of that region, but the security of the United States for

decades to come. So Carl, and think about this for a second. I remember Gerald Ford, tell me if

you remember this. He said he knew Iraq was a problem. And he said, I don't know why the Bush

administration just said weapons of mass destruction. They did so many other things worthy of this type,

with weapons inspectors, oil for food program. You should have had more than, there was more than

one reason. So when the, so when the war wasn't as, let's say as predictable as we thought,

and we know what Ron had a lot to do with that. When it wasn't as predictable as we thought,

they said, well, where are the weapons of mass destruction? It looks, oh, he lied. And we know

he never lied. We understand that. But if you gave the bunch of reasons why we were there,

you wouldn't have been stuck to one. And in a way, I'm not saying that they took a page from this.

You wonder, no, why we're in a run? Where do you want to start? The 83 barracks, the 79 hostages,

how about the 603 that died during the Iraq war, directly from the EFPs that they engineered and

pushed? How about the 241 Marines that died in Bayroot? How about the daily, how about the

assassination attempt? Pick one, circle it. So if you just say one, then people go, okay,

what about that? So go ahead. It's not just a nuclear program. Yeah, you're right. Keep going.

I mean, look, the nuclear program, the ballistic missile, they're attempting to build missiles

that can hit the United States of America. And look, do you talk about periodically,

they have closed the strait of hormones, driving up oil prices around the world in order to

discombobulate our economy and that of our allies. So I mean, and they funded, look, the Houthis,

you know, Hezbollah. I mean, these are people who have been actively supporting Islamic radical

terrorist movements around the world. So yeah, no, but my point is, my column was, the White House

needs to pay careful attention to this. And it's one thing to send out, you know,

articulate spokesman like cotton and, and, and cruise on Sunday morning talk programs.

But the White House needs to be behind this each and every day in a patient program

of explaining to the American people the stakes and the consequences.

Yeah, the one thing that they've not looked at, they've kind of disabled, and the NSC,

because of Alexander Vindman and some other leagues that guy anonymous who wrote the book.

He does not trust these people in the State Department elsewhere, listening in on his phone calls.

You know, the anti-Trumpers that were everywhere. And there used to be the NSC and you,

you know, how it works. But the way I understand it works is the NSC used to get the White House

communications along with the State Department Communications and Defense Department

Communications now, the Department of War. And say, this is the message. This is the result.

This is what we want to get out. But there doesn't seem to be that huddle around.

And we need that huddle again, which you can make up your own huddle. But there's got to be a huddle.

Yeah, that's right. I think that you're absolutely right. And look, I'm a Secretary of State

Marco Rubio is doing a terrific job, but you need a national security advisor who could work

with him as a force multiplier. Let me talk about one other thing that is critical.

We need to be talking to the Iranian people. And one of the biggest mistakes the administration made,

and I hold Kerry Lake responsible for it was shutting down Radio Farsi. We had a radio

by the way, I found out that's not true. It's still there. So Jennifer Griffin corrected that.

Yeah, but it's it's it's it's staff has been decimated. It's broadcasting this week. It is not

on as often as it was. And it's understaffed. And as a result with, you know, and and we were

also on the internet, we had a fulsome all out social media and radio program to communicate

with the Iranian people. And it doesn't exist in the form that it used, the powerful form that

it used to be there. Now, I'm a little bit wired up about this because I used to be on the board

for international broadcasting that oversaw Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty and and the

radio services around the world that that allowed people who live in closed societies like Iran

to hear the truth. And this is a powerful tool that could be spreading the news about what is

happening in their country that they're not hearing from their government. And and and we're weak

in this regard and we need to do more. Well, Carl, let me ask you, was there a problem with the left

wing messaging that I watch on CNN international and I'm able to pick up with a lot of these.

This was not CNN. This was not CNN. No, but was there a left wing bias to it? Look, look,

when I was on the board, where there are people who are Democrats and Republicans and liberals

and conservatives, yes, but you have editors and you have leadership. And so you can control that

if it is particularly if we're talking about Iran, yes, put the, if you're worried about it,

have a couple of supervisors from the White House and the State Department over there looking at

this material, but no, we should not have dismantled this enormous influence for us. If there were

weaknesses, correct them. If there were mistakes, stop them. If there were voices that it should

be heard and voices that shouldn't be heard make changes, but don't silence or undercut or got

which is exactly what we've done to all these radio services. I want to talk about Texas. James

Taloriko was the new beta or rock. He's a genius. He's a fresh breath of fresh air. Let me stop

you right there. Can we listen to him right there? You want to listen to a little of it? No, no,

no. He is the next iteration of Robert Francis award. Do not give Robert Francis award,

the benefit of the phony nickname to appeal to Latino voters. So listen to this, cut 42.

Our southern border should be like our front courts. There should be a giant welcome mat

out front. There are many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six. God is both masculine

and feminine and everything in between. This Texas God is non-binary. Really? Okay, does Texans both

de-Texas believe that? No, and look, this is, I love it. It's like, yes, let's come up with a guy

who says, unlike most immigrant candidates, I'm proud to be a Christian. But the comment about

six sexes was when he was opposing a bill that said men should not participate in women's sports.

And this guy defended the principal by saying, well, you know, really, there are six sexes,

and so we shouldn't get into this. And anybody ought to be able to participate in women's sports

who wants to. So let's not kid ourselves. This guy, look, he is an Austin liberal. I live in Austin.

I love Austin, but it is the blueberry and the deep red sea of Texas. And this guy is an Austin

liberal, which means he does things like say, we ought to have a welcoming porch on our southern

border and ring our hands over Jesus. Anybody that the cartel is able to extract money from,

we ought to welcome them across our border. You know, human traffic, because they're bad if they're

in the US, but they're okay. If they're in Mexico, sending people across our border. I mean,

this guy, John Corden will do to him what he has done to every other person who's run against him,

which is beat him badly. Yeah, Carl, why does the turnout so low for Republicans in the primary?

Wait a minute, buddy. How low were they? Lower lower than Democrats?

Yeah, but guess what? That happened in 2008. That happened in 2016. It happened in 2020.

And the Republicans won the state overwhelming. The last time that it happened in a midterm election

was 2002. And in that election, the Democrats had 900,000 people vote. The Republicans had

600,000 people vote. The Democrats nominated the mayor of Dallas, Ron Kirk, who was a serious

candidate. And what happened? John Corden beat him 5543. And so, yeah, look, most of the time,

you know, the Texas primary and presidential election years, by the time we get to the time of

our primary, traditionally, the Democrats still had a contest and we've settled hearts. But in this

one, it was a not, obviously not a presidential election year. And the Democrats had a couple

100,000 more people vote than the Republicans. You know where? Not not worried about it.

Real quick, I got one exit question for you. The president of the United States said,

in a little while, I'm going to pick who I want to endorse in the Texas primary to be the

Republican nominee. And I'm going to ask the other person to drop out. Is it too late?

Well, I don't, you know, already compacted and is said, I'm not going to drop out. But,

look, I mean, the president's endorsement of John Cordenen will be dispositive and the contest

will be over. And remember, think about this. A year ago, Cordenen was down by double digits.

He was down almost 20 points and he won. He came in first. And not only that, but in the last

week of the campaign, Paxton was going around the state cocky saying, I'm going to win by 20 to

30 points and win without a runoff. And on an election night, he looked like death warmed over.

I mean, he came within 900 votes out of nearly 100,000 votes of losing his home county of Colin

County. The people who sent him to the State House and the State Senate, who know

best and are taken sides on the divorce where his wife is divorcing him for biblical reasons,

catch my drift. Three girlfriends that we know of, you know, the people who knew him best to almost

turn him down in favor of Cordenen. Cordenen, on the other hand, won his home county of

bearer San Antonio by a hefty margin. All right. So you think if Trump endorses Cordenen,

he just gets in the victory or he's going to win anyway?

I think he's absolutely guaranteed some of the big president's endorsement is powerful.

All right. Carl, I like the fact that we zoom together. I think it makes us even better,

more center. I love when you yell at him. You're a handsome dude. I get to yell at him.

I was trying to tell people that they're just not buying it. There you go.

Carl, thanks so much back in a moment. Thanks. You got it. It's Brian Kilmeade.

The people of Minnesota have been singled out and targeted for political retribution added

unparalleled scale, including blocking Medicaid reimbursements to our state just last week. I want

your help on fraud. Why would I not want money to go to the programs I care deeply about feeding

people, clothing people, housing people. But what I did disrupted everything that we were doing,

it disrupted our federal partners and it forced our law enforcement agencies who have worked hard

to gain the public trust to have the public believe in that. So that is Governor Walls and

a nice little speech. Problem is, his actions didn't back it up. There was no vigilance in doing it.

And we all know the attorney general caught on tape, allowing making it clear to the feed your

feed America people who took millions and people in jail because of it that, hey, listen,

we'll look out for you. You look out for us and they said great and that's essentially you vote

for us and you can take as much money as you want. We all know that. So I just think that this

guy's got to pay the price. Either he's the bigger, bigger idiot than I think he is just a total

moron or he looked the other way. And he know the thing is in 2020, he probably thought to himself,

well, you know what? It's, it's good to be allowed the Somalis to cash in on America.

It's not going to matter. I'm not going to pay the price. In fact, I'm going to get their vote.

And he was able to get that vote win again by a pretty good margin.

And then become vice president, the vice presidential nominee. So I wish, I mean, I hear about

the California fraud. I want to see it now. I hear that they remain. I want to see it now.

So you got to put it in front of people and then make these people go and answer these questions.

You know, we had Paul the page on the former governor and he talked about how the current

governor was his attorney general and she looked the other way. She would not prosecute anything.

She tried to get, he tried to get Barack Obama's attention. He was not interested to talk about them

with the mad fraud happening in Maine. So we know about Minnesota. We know about California.

I want these people to give the money back or go to jail or something. And I want to find out

who took the cash out of the country. All right, when we come back, we've talked to Ari soccer.

He's a rocky rocket scientist and knows all about missile defense and men. Do we need it now?

By the way, I hear about the beam. They have lasers taking out missiles.

How can we help make stronger communities happen? Well, at JP Morgan Chase,

we invest in what's working in businesses that create more jobs in hospitals,

delivering care where it's needed the most in workers building new buildings,

bridges and roads, connecting what we need to where we live.

Make the green grass grow all around all around. Make the green grass grow all around.

From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmeade. They have the iron dome and now they just started

using something they call the iron beam directed energy to defend themselves. That is a great cost

curve for defenders and I hope that we start utilizing those types of capabilities here at home

and then in our interest around the world as well. Well, that is General John Tigert and I spoke

to him yesterday on Fox and Friends 2 and I asked him about the iron beam. It's a laser and

why do people reluctant to admit they have it? I'm not sure. I'm about to find out,

but Israel is evidently using it. What could be more cost effective than that?

Ari Sasha joins us now, Israeli rocket scientists, three decades of experience on anti-missile

technology, including the iron dome, senior policy advisor to the US and Israeli education

association. Man, you're busy now. Ari, with first off, are you concerned about the number of

interceptors we have available from the Gulf states to the state of Israel?

Everybody's concerned. Nobody knows the real numbers, but everybody's concerned about the rate

in which they're being fired. I mean, Ron's firing off between 200 and 400 of these

shot head drones that carry about 50 kilo of high explosives. They cost about 35,000 dollars

and we're shooting them down with Patriots, with all sorts of other stuff. They cost a couple

of million dollars a shot, so let's do the math. I mean, you're worried about how many

of your interceptors you have, and you're worried about how much it's costing you.

So they're real legitimate. We just don't know the answer to that.

Oh, they're 100% legit. I mean, these things, I mean, they do damage. You've seen what happens

when they aren't shot down. They took out Aramco and Saudi. They took out a radar, a US radar

in Bahrain. They're taking that all sorts of stuff. I mean, these Israelis,

here in Israel, we're lucky because we got a lot of time before they get to us, pick them up

on the radar. You shoot them down while there's still over places like I don't know, Jordan,

Saudi. But the people that are closer, I mean, they got a lot of problems.

Yeah. What about the what about the beam, this laser beam? Could you tell me what the theory is

behind it? Yeah, iron beam. It's like it's out there. I call it not hit to kill,

it heat to kill. So we just focus the laser beam on a bad boy. And you wait long enough,

which is not very long at all. The bad boy starts to burn and falls out of the sky.

The nice thing about that is essentially free. You just cost the amount of electricity that you

use for a couple of seconds that you use it. And this thing we're making, we're pulling

no punches. In Israel, this has been operational since December of 2025. And it was actually used.

There were some, we took some stuff out of the shed, dusted it off and stuck it out there in

2024 to start taking care of this stuff. That's his bow. I was throwing it at Israel. And

because there's nothing else that could take care of it. And these lasers are real. They work,

they're inexpensive. And just like the shaheads, the drones change the way people attack the laser

change the way people defend. Did they have limitations? Well, everybody's got limitations.

He got a certain amount of range. And that's about the limitation.

Okay. Because I just don't know why people are reluctant to talk about it because it's space

age, because it can be used. We never would have reluctant to talk about the Iron Dome, David

Sling, Iro systems. Why are we reluctant to talk about Iron Beam?

Well, I don't think anybody's reluctant to talk about it. Ask Ray questions, get the right answers.

Israel has it operational. There's an assembly line. We're putting out these things.

Ramping up production, ramping up, getting these things over to the IDF as fast as we can.

And no one's pulling any punches, no one's hiding anything.

I have it only. We're rated. We're rated. Yeah. Rain and fog could be detrimental to the beam.

Yeah. Rain and fog have a certain effect on the laser beam. It depends on how bad the rain is.

We did some calculations. And we've shown that more than 95% of the time in Europe

take us as an example. The rain is not bad enough to cause any major damage to our performance.

I mean, if you use it out there in Iran, puff the grain out loud. I mean, that's like every day of

the year, it works. So Ari, tell me what you think of how Iran is as a firing back as opposed

to the way they did in the 12-day war. Iran has been severely stunted. They've lost a lot of

not only missiles, which the U.S. has taken out more than Israel is because we're bringing over

these B2s and dropping these very chunky GPU 57s into these underground factories. But everybody

Israel and the U.S. are plunking away at their launchers. And the long pull in the tent is not

the amount of missiles you got because you can't throw them. You got to stick them on a launcher.

And these launchers, the Israel has destroyed officially more than 300 launchers since the

beginning of the war. And I was going into bomb shelters 90 times a day on Saturday.

Today and yesterday, I ain't going once. The situation has totally changed and that's why.

Complete air dominance. So what they're also trying to do, if you get into this strategy wise,

they want to rattle the Gulf states. And you know, they have six rockets one into cutter and the UAE

is getting hit pretty regularly. They hit the CIA location in Saudi Arabia and a few others.

What do you think that approach? What is that about?

I think Iran has realized that they're not going to do any major damage to Israel.

And the only thing that they can do is really flail, hit what they can hit. I mean, today they

hit Azerbaijan. Are they insane? And Azerbaijan is the very well-equipped country that borders Iran.

And any damage Iran does to Azerbaijan, especially considering how much of their arsenal has been

blown up over the last couple of days. I mean, they stand to take equal amount of power from

Azerbaijan. So I don't know what they're thinking. So the so the farm is the country going down

in flames. I think so too. Unless their goal is to rattle these states to the point where

their economy can't do anything. For example, they have to shut down the natural gas field and

cut it for the first time in 20 years. They're hoping maybe they don't let life get back to normal

and the people pressure their government to disassociate themselves with us. That could be the

theory if you extrapolated out. What do you think? Yeah, I think it could be the theory. But I think

at the end of the day, everybody's got to take a long breath. And if we breathe deep and we stand

tall for a number of days or maybe weeks, then the amount of attacks on all of Iran's neighbors

will be reduced just like it's being reduced on Israel. It's being reduced on us first because

the bad boys that they have, they have fewer of them than the ones that can hit us. It'll also be

reducing cutter. It'll also be reducing Bahrain and the UAE as well. This will be a threat that

will never return. If we allow Israel and the US now is there by giant time to destroy the threat

completely. That is happening as we speak. All right, I guess it doesn't surprise you that behind

the scenes Saudi Arabia was pushing Trump to act. All of these Arab countries now in the beginning,

they said we don't want you to use our bases. What are you doing? But behind the scenes, they said

please do this, Mr. President. Follow through. So maybe you can make sense of it being that maybe

you want to understand the Middle East more than my audience. Well, I'll tell you, everybody is

scared of Iran, especially. But there's two basic kinds of Muslim, Islam. You have the Shia and

you have Sunni. And the Sunnis, most of them are more moderate than the Shia. The Shia is

essentially centered in Iran. There are little branches and leaven on another places. But the Sunnis

are typically more, well, more down to earth. But there is a tremendous amount of interfamily

unhappiness between the two. And at the end of the day, I mean, I just heard yesterday, the

Kassan Soleimani, who was killed by anybody, US, a number of years ago, he was the head of their

overseas terrorist office. He said that the country we have to worry about is not Jerusalem,

you have to worry about Iran. Iran, the Shia and the Sunnis will forever hate each other.

And that plays into the hands. And that's how the Abraham Accords worked out. Israel and moderate

Sunni states against the common enemy. Iran. I hear you. So let's talk about, let's talk about

missile defense. We're trying to build a golden dome here in theory. It's going to be a trillions

of dollars. But I think people look at what's happening now and they say if you really want to

secure a country, how else would you do it if you're America? The chances of that working,

I know Space Force is playing a big role for that. And what do you think the future of

missile defense is? I've been impressive what we see, but it's not perfect. Where do you think

we're heading with it? Look, the country that has the most up-to-date and hermetic, if that's

it all possible, missile defense system is Israel. And it's a layered defense system. You have

the shortest range is iron dome going all the way up through David slaying an arrow to all the

way up to arrow three. And one of the advantages of Israel is such a small country so that we can

have a reasonable number of batteries defending this small country. The US is slightly larger.

Israel is the size of New Jersey. Do the math. So if you use these kind of systems to protect systems

like New York, Philadelphia, Boston, well that's great. But then to start using them to defend the

entire US, that becomes unproblematic. And therefore you have these space-based interceptors,

which will be part of the golden dome. The question is, what can we bring to the table now?

We have absolutely nothing. You're shooting down drones in El Paso. In order to do that,

you take out a laser and you shut down airspace over El Paso for 12 days. You can't live that way.

So the United States has to look. They have to determine, all right, we have a problem with drones.

We have a problem with the potential of a problem for an Iranian ship at sea to fire drones

into America. We have ballistic missiles that could be landing in American cities. So let's

take the systems out there that are proven. That exists. That have saved lives. Let's put as many

of them as we can now. And then in parallel, we're working a space-based system to take out the

other stuff. Okay. That's the way ahead. Can we get better than what we have now? Can we get

instead of improving on the Patriot? Is there more engineering that you would like to see in R&D

to make them even better? Oh, there's some great stuff going on. Look at the statistics in Israel.

I mean, the official statistics from Gaza and Lebanon with iron dome. I mean, that's greater than

90 percent. And the official statistics of the Arrow III against those Iranian monsters that they

fired at us with a ton of high explosives. That was 86 percent. That's pretty good. It means out

of every 100, 15 of them are going to fall. Not all of them are going to fall and kill people.

So maybe we can tweak that up a little bit higher. I think if the Patriot is an older system,

even the newer Patriot, it's not created to hit the same stuff to say that is created. So you

could take Patriots, take that, take some of the Israeli stuff which has been proven, and make layers.

Missile defense systems are like ogres. They work in layers.

So that's what you guys got to do. So what about with the pioneering in Ukraine and they're working

on their way of taking down drones without using Patriots because obviously you did the math to

start this segment. So what is, what has, have you been seeing what Ukraine's been developing?

I have, I have Ukraine says you guys going to fire a drone at me. Well, I'm going to take it out

with a drone on my own and they dropped the equation from 35k on their side to a million on our

side to 35k on their side and I'll shoot it down with 35k on my side. That's more reasonable.

So that is definitely a solution for a certain set of drones. I don't believe it's a solution

for all the drones. I don't think it's a solution for the, the shot heads that we have right now

because they're coming in very high and very fast and these things that the Ukrainians are offering

are smaller. That said using that as a concept, very interesting concept. It's something definitely

worth looking into when there are companies around the globe other than the Ukraine that are actually

looking into these things as well. I think Ukraine says that any nation that's helped us out,

we're going to help them out. And they took a pause from peace talks of Russia just to do that.

And I was, I was able to go to Germany at Veezbaden and it is like war university the Ukraine.

They're going to school on what the Ukraine and Russia has been doing changing the face of war.

I'm sure you've noticed all this, Ari.

I have, I mean, I've noticed we've learned a lot in Israel. We've learned a lot from what goes on

in the Ukraine as a function of tactics, what to expect the enemy to do. And by Gali,

I mean, they, the, the, um, Iranians are using tactics very similar to the tactics used both

by the Ukrainians and by the Russians, which are proving very successful, which is why they're being

replicated. And so what, um, what, what we need to do is also learn from what's going on now in

Israel. What's going on now in Ukraine is going on now in UAE. We're going to learn from that.

We're going to change our tactics and modify our tactics. And we're also probably going to

modify the systems that we have out there, maybe build new ones, maybe modify old ones.

All right. Thanks so much. Always insightful to have you on Ari Sasha, Sasha, who joins us as we

try to unwind missile defense and pretty much in awe of what people like you have been able to

accomplish and really save a nation. You save Israel. Uh, you really have. Thanks so much, Ari,

back in a moment. From breaking news to big name guests, Brian brings you inside. You won't hear

anywhere else. You're listening to the Brian Kill Me Show. This is Ainsley Earhart. Thank you for

joining me for the 52 episode podcast series, The Life of Jesus. A listening experience that will

provide hope, comfort and understanding of the greatest story ever told. Listen and follow now at

FoxNewsPodcasts.com or wherever you listen to podcasts.

A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show sponsored by Previgen. Previgen made for

your brain. True, it seems that Iran's potential successors keep getting killed, but everyone here

at Fox still believes we have the perfect guy for the job. And remember Iran's plot to

assassinate Trump, the leader of that operation hunted down and killed. Everyone's gone.

Their war room is as empty as a Kill Mead book signing. What is going on? That's two. I didn't say

anything yet. So that was a great gut felt. Having fun with me on my introduction. You know,

he doesn't really talk to you until after the monologue. So I didn't have a chance to even really

interact with them until I was the subject of that. Now, do I have, do I have any, I know you

want to law school? I also do I have any legal standing to sue him for this type of defamation?

I mean, is it really defamation? I mean, you mean it's accurate? They have empty books. It's

acting that I should be grand a total. They're actually very patch which proves that Greg has

never been to one. Right. That was awesome. It was a joke. Well, most of them, well, I can't take

it anymore. I'm going to snap. Do you want to hear more of your tie with Greg last night?

Sure. His first name is spelled like brain and that's where the similarities end.

Close to Fox and friends in one nation, Brian Kill Mead.

Brian, I've almost I've missed all of your commentary on this because I don't get up that early.

I'm assuming it's as banal as always, but give us your, what do you call your 35,000-foot view

of? Right. It's probably 32,000-foot, but let's just spend it's high. By the way,

Sunday's a 10 also if that's pretty if you prefer that time slot. Well, no, I don't. Yeah,

yeah. Where do these mentalists come from? Mental institutions. That's probably the hardest
