>> From high atop Fox News Headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions never sewing to vision.
00:00:12
It's Brian Kilmeade.
00:00:14
>> Hi everyone, so glad you're here, Brian Kilmeade show, big, big week.
00:00:20
Another center race has come in, just as expected, we projected Dave McCormick, Quinn's, Pennsylvania, not out of it yet in the Republicans aren't out of it yet.
00:00:29
Sam Brown over in Nevada, and believe they're not carry-lakers within one point in Arizona, sadly, it does not look like Mike Rogers is going to win a Michigan, I guess they declared it for the other for Slotkin,
00:00:41
so that's a disappointing, because he is just so qualified.
00:00:46
I thought he ran a great race on the ground in the year, everything.
00:00:50
We'll find out about that, hopefully Donald Trump puts them into his cabinet in some way.
00:00:55
This hour we're going to be joined by Tom Carricot, senior fellow with the International Security Program, Missile Defense Expert, because the president-elect has talked about building up an iron dome for this country.
00:01:07
Is it feasible?
00:01:08
We'll look at that, so before we get to Senator Shelley Moore Capito, let's get to the big three.
00:01:13
>> Now with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three.
00:01:19
>> Number three, as California Attorney General, if Trump attacks your rights, I'll be there.
00:01:27
You come from my people, you come through me.
00:01:29
>> If you try to harm New Yorkers or roll back their rights, I will fight you every step of the way.
00:01:36
>> Hey, read the room, kids.
00:01:37
Let the resistance begin foolishly, self-serving governors and AGs misread everything about the election, announce their plans to Trump-proof their states.
00:01:47
>> I have news for you, the best thing you could do is just do your job well, days of living off Trump's fame or over.
00:01:54
>> Number two.
00:01:55
>> It was a red wedding style defeat, it was a catastrophe.
00:01:58
We cannot just call Americans racist and bigots and say that that is the reason why Kamala Harris lost.
00:02:05
>> As Linda Lee, a senior, Harris-Serrigant, the political earthquake, still shaking the nation as Republicans try and lock up the house after increasing the majority in the Senate.
00:02:15
We look at the gains and the reason why Trump's agenda resonated with America and the Dems didn't.
00:02:21
>> Number one.
00:02:22
>> They had really good people working with him the first time and he's got really good people working on it now and when he focuses in on it, as I imagine he's starting to do, we're going to start getting those decisions and I'm going to be working with him one way or the other.
00:02:35
>> Trump wins.
00:02:36
Names his first staffer and his historic selection as well, but not unexpected wheel of Susie Wells, and we look at the leading contenders and the big three names who have been removing themselves from contention,
00:02:47
not because they don't like Trump, it's because they just want to stay in their car and post.
00:02:52
Senator Shelley Moore, more Capitol joins us now.
00:02:55
She was on appropriations and transportation, we don't know what she's going to be now.
00:02:59
She now is going to be joined by Jim Justice, the Republican one Joe Manchin seat in the Senate.
00:03:06
Senator Capitol, why did this version of Donald Trump not only win going away with the three hundred electoral votes, but also the popular vote by between five and seven million.
00:03:17
What changed?
00:03:20
>> Do we hear her?
00:03:25
>> Yeah, it looks like she just dropped off, I'll tell you what's changed.
00:03:32
I think the country saw four years of Joe Biden and one of the opposite, number one, number two is you had a very aloof vice president who had no idea that she had to actually tell how she feels and why she feels that way.
00:03:43
She didn't want to sit down at all with anyone.
00:03:46
And the people that knew her in the Senate said there's not much there.
00:03:49
And we're not talking about intellect, we're talking about the ability to understand issues and have an opinion on them and take action with them.
00:03:56
Now Senator Capitol joins us, Senator, why such a decisive win in 2024 when it wasn't there the previous two times?
00:04:03
>> Well, good morning, and sorry about that, I have myself on mute and I didn't realize it.
00:04:08
>> No problem.
00:04:09
I think, honestly, I think it boils down to something so incredibly simple that the Harris folks kept denying and trying to convince the American people that this wasn't occurring.
00:04:23
It's the mom, it's the dad going to the grocery store and seeing the cost of food and how their harder money can no longer stretch to help their family.
00:04:35
I mean, they kept saying, no, the economy's great, everything's fine, inflation's going down.
00:04:41
People are not that stupid.
00:04:43
They understand when they're stretched and then they see the illegal immigration issues.
00:04:49
I think those are the two main big issues.
00:04:52
The Biden administration and the Harris administration had three and a half years to prevent 10 million people from coming in and instead they went the opposite direction and welcomed them in.
00:05:02
I just think those issues were so resoundingly critical to Trump's election and his numbers because his whole plan,
00:05:13
which he laid out a concrete plan and that helped too, but his whole plan is to change both of those things very dramatically.
00:05:21
I congratulate him on sticking to the message and also for the ability to really read the room so, so well.
00:05:29
Right, so Trump gains even in new places where he lost 12 points in New York, 12 11 points in New Jersey over a Massachusetts, nine points.
00:05:38
He also gained, he gained over in California, Texas, he won at eight points, he won dominantly in Florida for those people who think Texas is slipping away from Republicans, not quite and Florida over 10 points.
00:05:50
So among Latino voters between 2020 and 2024, he's gone up six points.
00:05:56
He's now at 41% and if you guys as a party can understand the formula, that could be the turnaround that grabs the Hispanic vote maybe for the conceivable future.
00:06:08
But if people want to know what's wrong, I always, after a major loss, after after Obama won in 2008, I always look to see, you know, what's going to be the reboot before everyone gets into the political corners and worries about reelection.
00:06:20
David Axelrod laid it out and the numbers back him up.
00:06:23
Listen to this.
00:06:24
Cut 18.
00:06:25
I can't approach working people like missionaries and say, we're here to help you become more like us.
00:06:30
There's a kind of unspoken, disdain, unintended disdain in that.
00:06:36
I think Biden has done, you know, programmatically, some good things for working people, but the party itself has increasingly become a smarty pants, suburban college educated party and it lends itself to the kind of backlash that we've seen.
00:06:52
And right, by the way, the only place they increased was people who make over $100,000.
00:06:57
That's where Harris improved.
00:06:58
What kind of candidate do you think she was?
00:07:01
Well, you know, I actually was, she was so much better, I thought, than 2020, but I just thought, you know, she's dragging in Hollywood stars,
00:07:12
you know, people can't relate to that.
00:07:14
They're flying in in their private jets.
00:07:16
They're talking about how it's terrible that it's, we need to tax the millionaires and billionaires, which is them.
00:07:22
And you know, the hypocriticalness of it just rings hollow, I think, with regular people.
00:07:27
So I don't even, I wonder who we're in those crowds.
00:07:30
Was it the people that David Axelrod was talking about just more of an elite group, or was it somebody who's coming to, because they think they're going to see,
00:07:41
you know, a Beyonce concert?
00:07:42
I mean, I just think that their whole message was, was, as he said, very condescending.
00:07:48
And I said earlier, the American people are not stupid.
00:07:52
They know when things are good, and they know when things are not as good, and they are not as good as they were under Trump, and people know it.
00:08:00
And so, you know, I read an article, I think it was David Brooks at the New York Times.
00:08:04
And you know, he can go one way or the other, but he wrote this article about the respect gap.
00:08:11
And I think that is absolutely true.
00:08:13
We, and her supporters, and her rhetoric, and even President Biden, others, don't respect working people, and they know it.
00:08:24
And so I think they, they just, you know, she, she didn't go on any media.
00:08:30
She didn't have any spontaneity to her.
00:08:33
She never gave specificity a plan.
00:08:35
She kept trying to worry about who she's going to offend.
00:08:37
At the end of the day, people want decisive leaders that they know are going to make their lives better.
00:08:42
She did not make the case.
00:08:44
So a couple of Democrats in our way in, and we'll move on and talk about what the agenda is, but anonymous House members said this from the Democratic side to Axios.
00:08:51
Democrats just literally attacked everything he did, meaning Trump.
00:08:54
He would never agree with anything, never give him credit for anything, could never say, well, actually, securing the border is a good idea, just to disagree with how he's doing it.
00:09:02
Tom Swasi said this, a Democrat from Long Island, who won George Santos' seat.
00:09:07
Instead of saying, how can people vote for Donald Trump?
00:09:10
We should have been asking, why did people vote for Donald Trump?
00:09:13
What did he do right?
00:09:14
And what did we do wrong?
00:09:16
I mean, that's why he won, because that's kind of a, that's kind of a red area.
00:09:20
But I assume he kind of believes it, because in Nassau County, they were actually shooting a fireworks from Trump one.
00:09:25
So isn't that, isn't that a logical question to ask?
00:09:29
Absolutely.
00:09:30
And, and I think, I mean, when, you know, I do a lot of work in the environment and public works space, I set up to be the chair of that committee, actually, which I'm very excited about.
00:09:41
All the policies that came through are, were so woke, they're preventing projects from being constructed, preventing pipelines from being made, but preventing energy from being sourced in our own country.
00:09:54
All of it was, it was about, who are you and what, what is your history, rather than, we know who you are, we know you want an opportunity, energy provides you that opportunity.
00:10:06
And, and that's what the policies have been over the last four years.
00:10:12
And again, people just said enough is enough.
00:10:17
So talking to Senator Capito of West Virginia, Senator, you have a new partner.
00:10:21
What is Governor Jim Justice going to be like at Senator Jim Justice?
00:10:23
Well, I was down at the Green Brow with him for his victory party, which he owns.
00:10:27
Where would you own speech?
00:10:28
Yes, which he owns.
00:10:29
So, you know, not too hard to live for me or him.
00:10:32
I talked to him yesterday, he's excited and I think we'll work very well together.
00:10:38
And he has a, obviously, great energy background, but he, you know, has the heartbeat of the, of the people.
00:10:44
He, he appeals to the same sort of common sense working people that Donald Trump does.
00:10:51
And, and so I think I'm excited about him coming and I look forward to working with him.
00:10:56
I think he's, we've been, we've known each other in a small state, we've known each other for a long, long time.
00:11:01
And so I think our partnership will be very good.
00:11:04
He's looking to run for the Republican Policy Committee.
00:11:06
She, I'm sorry, you are looking to run for it.
00:11:09
Yeah.
00:11:10
So what would that, what would that entail?
00:11:11
Yeah.
00:11:12
Well, thanks for asking about that.
00:11:14
We're going to have leadership elections and obviously who's going to replace Mitch McConnell is, is the big question.
00:11:20
But there are six leadership slots.
00:11:22
I'm number five right now.
00:11:24
I'm moving up, hopefully to, to move to the policy committee.
00:11:28
What I do will do there is help my members and their staffs formulate a unified message on policy.
00:11:35
And certainly with President Trump being at the helm, we're going to be working closely with the White House here.
00:11:40
So let's just say you have a transportation or environment issue or a military issue.
00:11:45
I'll have the staff to be able to prepare our senator staffers so that they can prepare their senator for the pros and cons or what direction we think Republicans will be going in concert with the House.
00:11:58
So it's an inside working with a lot with the members, but it's also formulating very policy oriented.
00:12:04
And I also will run the caucus meetings that we have once a week, which is where all of our voices are heard.
00:12:10
So I'm excited about it.
00:12:12
I don't have an opponent so far.
00:12:13
So it's the way to go.
00:12:15
So everyone is talking about who's going to replace Mitch McConnell to some people say it's corn and some people say it's the thing.
00:12:21
Senator Rick Scott wants to once in on that Steve Daines turned it down.
00:12:26
He doesn't want to go back and forth and spend too much time in Washington, but he did such a great job getting 53 Senate seats at least this time around.
00:12:35
Who are you supporting?
00:12:36
Well, you know, I he won't surprise you.
00:12:39
I'm not going to say who I'm supporting because I'm friends with everybody, all three of them, and they all have strengths that are that are, I think, really complimentary.
00:12:49
And so we'll see when they present their cases to us on Wednesday morning, we're talking to them all on the phone, everybody's calling everybody.
00:12:58
And so, you know, I know it's going to be a good leader and it's going to be somebody that's going to be able to work with the president.
00:13:03
That's very important.
00:13:04
But more important is probably how they work with the 52 or three other senators, Republican senators to have that unified voice.
00:13:13
So we can beat back the challenges that we know we're going to have.
00:13:17
It's an exciting time, Senator Habito, and the thing is it's going to be seen.
00:13:21
I had the majority got pressure, but you also have a president that only wants four years, not even thinking about re-election, just make the four years productive, and I think it could be great.
00:13:31
People say lame duck.
00:13:32
I don't think so at all.
00:13:33
I think it's free.
00:13:34
No, I don't either.
00:13:35
I think it's free.
00:13:36
I think if I could say anything, and I don't think president Trump is whatever not be this, but I think it gives an opportunity to be even bolder and we're going to have all three or two houses and the executive we need to seize this moment.
00:13:54
And so it will be very exciting.
00:13:56
Real quick, I'm over time.
00:13:57
But do you think being that he did so well and brought the Senate and held the house it looks like, and he is such a dominant wind?
00:14:05
Do you think Democrats might be looking to cooperate more than they have in the past?
00:14:10
You know, I think the overwhelming of the numbers definitely help him.
00:14:14
So, you know, I tend to be an optimist.
00:14:16
So there's many things, problems that we have, things we need to solve.
00:14:20
Let's hope for the good of the country we can all come together.
00:14:23
I think it's possible.
00:14:24
We'll wait and see how the rhetoric formulates so far.
00:14:29
The Democrats have been rather conciliatory.
00:14:32
Congratulations.
00:14:33
You won.
00:14:34
Let's do the best for the country.
00:14:35
So let's keep that attitude.
00:14:36
All right.
00:14:37
There you go.
00:14:38
Senator Castro, thanks so much.
00:14:39
Have a great day.
00:14:40
You too.
00:14:41
Thank you.
00:14:42
Bye.
00:14:43
All right.
00:14:44
And she has a partner now in Jim Justice.
00:14:45
We'll have him on, too, hopefully next week.
00:14:46
It's still defense for the country.
00:14:47
Is it possible?
00:14:48
You'll find out next year calls 1-866-408-7669.
00:14:52
We have Susie Wiles as in as Chief of Staff.
00:14:54
Who should be next?
00:14:55
And why?
00:14:56
Don't move.
00:14:57
Politics, current events, and news that affects you.
00:15:01
Brian's got a lot more to say.
00:15:03
Stay with Brian Kilmeade.
00:15:06
The world of business moves fast.
00:15:08
Stay on top of it with the Fox Business rundown.
00:15:11
Listen to the Fox Business rundown every Monday and Friday.
00:15:14
FoxBusinesspodcasts.com or wherever you download your favorite podcasts.
00:15:20
A talk show that's real.
00:15:30
This is the Brian Kilmeade show.
00:15:33
The people pulling the strings of the Democrat Party get rid of them and they blow off the plot.
00:15:38
Tonight is on the Democrats.
00:15:39
It was a ringing endorsement.
00:15:41
The Republicans Trump ringing tight and against the Democrats.
00:15:44
They have looked themselves in the mirror.
00:15:46
This moral superiority complex they have.
00:15:50
This arrogance they have.
00:15:53
It's not working.
00:15:54
It's time to wake up and see that.
00:15:56
God, that is a part of the bar stool.
00:15:59
Not really partisan, but it was just so obvious to so many people, especially when Trump was out there doing the podcast, getting to know him.
00:16:05
You know, whether it's Andrew Schultz or whether it's Joe Rogan or the Nelk brothers or the Nelk boys.
00:16:10
You got to know him.
00:16:11
You go, you know what?
00:16:12
I know where he stands for.
00:16:13
I know why he's saying the things he says.
00:16:15
And after three hours, you can't really, you don't need Jake Tapper to interpret a wolf blitzer to interpret what he means and how irrational he is because they don't believe that anymore.
00:16:24
Here's what David Axelrod said to Dave Portinoe's assessment.
00:16:29
I absolutely think that that's what it is.
00:16:32
And I don't, you know, I don't know if I put it just that way, but I think that he's on point.
00:16:38
I think we need to, we owe people the respect, the respect for what they do and what they mean, you know, and all these blue collar workers and people who do things with their hands in the back.
00:16:51
They make this country go.
00:16:53
And they feel like they are thought of as less and that their priorities are not the priorities of the Democratic Party.
00:17:01
So that's an Axelrod, but here's why the outgoing Jamie Harrison, what a failure he is.
00:17:06
He does not even own up to the fact that the elections over said Biden was the most pro-worker president of my lifetime, saved union pensions, created millions of good paying jobs and even marched in a picket lines and some of MVP plans could have fundamentally transformed the quality of life and closed the racial wealth gap for working people across the country from the child credits,
00:17:27
25,000 to a down payment for a house to Medicare.
00:17:30
He wasn't the most pro-worker and just picking up a sign and walking around with nine other people one day.
00:17:35
I don't know.
00:17:36
Let the union has a side and management has a side.
00:17:39
If you go to pro union, the product suffers because they got to get their balance sheets out to either make less cars, you hire less people.
00:17:47
That's why presidents don't usually get involved in these things.
00:17:50
They might get involved by bringing mediators in.
00:17:52
I don't think that's a good thing.
00:17:54
And also the number one car manufacturing state is Michigan.
00:17:57
Why did Donald Trump win it?
00:17:58
Because he said that EV should be an option that should not be mandatory.
00:18:02
The dealership shouldn't be forced to sell them and people shouldn't be given incentives to buy them with big time tax credits because it takes less people to build.
00:18:13
Okay, that's fine.
00:18:14
That's called improvement.
00:18:15
But a lot of the rare earth has to go outside the country to a place like China.
00:18:19
How is it in our national security and how is that more expensive and what do we do with the batteries?
00:18:24
He never answered that question.
00:18:26
That affects Michigan.
00:18:27
That affects Wisconsin.
00:18:28
That certainly affects Pennsylvania when we come back.
00:18:31
When we defend our country with a missile defense the entire country like Iron Dome will discuss it.
00:18:39
Our radio show like no other is Brian Kilmeade.
00:18:52
They have to restore deterrence.
00:18:55
And that has to start with military capability, certainly.
00:18:59
The last four years the budgets have been flat.
00:19:02
No increase.
00:19:03
China is outpatient us.
00:19:04
You name the platform and they outpace us in it dramatically except for submarines.
00:19:10
The Air Force and the Army are too small.
00:19:14
The Navy doesn't have enough ships.
00:19:16
The defense industrial base needs to be replenished.
00:19:19
It takes money to do it.
00:19:21
When we play war games publicly recorded we run out of offensive missiles in a war game against China in two weeks.
00:19:28
I mean that's the reality of the erosion of the military capability that has taken place in this country.
00:19:36
General Jack Keen with me an hour ago on Fox and Friends talking about what Trump has to do.
00:19:41
And that is established deterrence.
00:19:43
Begin to spend.
00:19:44
And also he would want to say you have to reform the spending practices of the Pentagon there too slow.
00:19:49
They're not quick to adjust.
00:19:50
And too many people are dug in to make profit.
00:19:53
Tom Keriko joins us now, senior fellow at the International Security Program, director of the missile defense project at the center for strategic and international studies.
00:20:01
Tom, do you agree with what General Keen said that you hope that Trump does?
00:20:06
Yeah, I think I agree with just about all that.
00:20:09
I think the fact that DOD's budget has been flat or arguably declining in terms of relative to inflation.
00:20:17
That's not a good thing, certainly in terms of relative terms to China.
00:20:21
I think also the reference to deterrence has been a good one.
00:20:26
Look, there's some P-52s parked in the Middle East right now.
00:20:29
There's some aircraft carriage parked in the Middle East right now to tell Iran, hey, why don't you stop this nonsense of shooting at Israel, for instance.
00:20:38
But it's been slow to sink in.
00:20:42
But I think writ large, there's not just a new administration, but there's a new Congress coming in here.
00:20:47
And this is fundamentally an opportunity to tear up the the FRA, fiscal responsibility act as it applies to DOD, and I've got two words for you, Roger Wicker.
00:20:58
If he comes in as the head of Senate Appropriations for Defense, I think that's going to be a very good possibility for-- Because he did, because he supervised the total evaluation of Pentagon spending.
00:21:10
What is some of the conclusions he came up with?
00:21:13
Well, number one, and it was alluded to just a minute ago, is we need more ships and submarines.
00:21:19
We also need a lot more missiles and munitions writ large.
00:21:24
And look, at this point, the Ukraine conflict is now a combined arms effort between China, North Korea, Iran, and Russia.
00:21:32
And it's going to be important to degrade things and win there to get them to stop hemorrhaging.
00:21:39
And one of the things that have been so important there is air defenses, air missile defenses.
00:21:42
That can be a massive demand for deterring, as well as if you have to prosecuting a conflict elsewhere in the world, whether it be in Europe, whether it be in the Indo-Pacific or anywhere else.
00:21:53
So, Tom, can we-- the President talked about an iron dome for the country.
00:21:57
Can you-- do you have missile defense for a country this size?
00:22:01
Hmm, you'll look, I think that that is a metaphor.
00:22:05
It's a metaphor for the need to have some kind of active air and missile defenses.
00:22:10
It's not about defending every Kalpastra in Texas against everything that can come in.
00:22:15
But there are big gaps and big holes, especially in terms of, well, frankly, the sort of things that we see in Ukraine on a weekly basis, the cruise missiles.
00:22:25
That's not a theoretical problem, that's a very practical problem.
00:22:30
And so cruise missile defense, ballistic missile defense, yes, hypersonic defense, these are all going to be important to deter a conflict with China, so that they don't wake up and say, hey, we think we can pull this off.
00:22:40
Right.
00:22:41
I mean, they now are sucking wind economically.
00:22:43
They're trying to put-- print all this money and put it into the system.
00:22:47
It is just not going.
00:22:48
And they're 20% unemployment.
00:22:49
We watch this submarine just sink the other day, and nuclear submarine just think of a month ago.
00:22:56
So, they're not a juggernaut.
00:22:57
They have money willing to spend, and they're aggressive.
00:23:00
But the combined-- the combining North Korea, Iran, Russia, and China, it's got to be concerning, especially when they put 10,000 troops in North Koreans in with the Russians to fight the Ukrainians?
00:23:12
Yeah, and I think about that troop transfer, not just in terms of filling a gap or sending people into a meet grinder, but rather as experience for their officer corps.
00:23:22
So, they're going to be learning things and taking those lessons back.
00:23:26
And so, I think there's a layer of cooperation here that's more than just sending stuff or sending munitions or sending bodies.
00:23:34
There's a layer of learning and intelligence gathering that is being shared across the board here.
00:23:41
So, Tom, when you look at the missile defense, you know that there's a tremendous demand from Israel, a demand from Ukraine.
00:23:47
And now, are you concerned that Iran is going to try to get it from Russia?
00:23:50
And do they have it available?
00:23:52
Well, the Israelis, to their credit, just took out a number, reportedly, a number of the Iranian-era missile defenses, they're S-300s and that sort of stuff,
00:24:04
leaving them pretty defenseless.
00:24:07
So, it turns out that our strike capabilities, the Israelis, strike capabilities to suppress air defenses are pretty good.
00:24:14
So, the Iranian missile defenses, not exactly at the top of my worry list, because again, the Israelis just took them out.
00:24:23
But we have a different posture.
00:24:24
We have a more defensive posture in the world.
00:24:27
And that's why it's important for the United States and for its allies, Japan, Australia, all these folks to have those things, because we're not going to be the ones taking the aggressive action against our adversaries.
00:24:40
So, do you think -- you said that -- you said that the Pentagon needs to be reformed.
00:24:45
Well, they'll be pushed back from that.
00:24:47
Are there people who are unwilling to change there?
00:24:50
And are they -- is that a situation where, with the right defense secretary, with the right vision that you mentioned, they can go in and fire people or move them out if they're not going to change?
00:25:00
So, you know, I think it fundamentally starts with leadership.
00:25:04
The Pentagon, like other bureaucracies, have all the tools that they're disposal to do things fast, if they want to, and when they want to.
00:25:12
It's about prioritization, prioritization comes from the top.
00:25:15
And it comes from vision, both from the executive branch, but also, they said before Congress.
00:25:20
So, you know, whether it was, you know, MRAPS, armored vehicles in Iraq back in the day, we moved heaven and earth to build as many of those as possible in a rapid period of time.
00:25:31
And so, it fundamentally is about prioritization and vision.
00:25:35
Yes, there's always bureaucracy in process, but those apparatuses can be bent in the proper context.
00:25:45
They will be.
00:25:46
I hope so.
00:25:47
Here's what Joaquin said about that, cut 38.
00:25:51
We have to fix the Pentagon's ossified business practices.
00:25:56
It's risk averse.
00:25:58
It's too slow to get a platform.
00:26:00
It takes years.
00:26:01
You look at the commercial sector, and how quickly they can turn a platform.
00:26:04
It's remarkable, compared to the three or four times it takes the Pentagon to get a system.
00:26:10
And the other thing is, it's too costly, and we've got to bring in modern commercial business practices in the Pentagon with innovation and certainly technology.
00:26:21
So, that would certainly help.
00:26:24
We got to get the R&D together with the Pentagon and act quickly.
00:26:27
Aren't we learning a lesson from Ukraine?
00:26:30
What they're doing with drones in real time, now they're making their own?
00:26:34
How they adjusted some of the equipment that we have gotten?
00:26:36
Some of our defense missiles have been used as offensive missiles.
00:26:40
Yeah, I think there's a number of things here in terms of how we think about the business of defense.
00:26:47
You mentioned earlier the profit incentive.
00:26:49
I don't want to be relying upon companies to be supplying the Department of Defense at the lowest profit market as possible.
00:26:56
I want people going into defense because they think they can make money, and that there's an alignment between doing the right thing for the United States of America and defense.
00:27:07
And so, the commercial motive, you know, people invest in Apple because they think there's going to be a return on investments.
00:27:12
And if there is one asymmetric advantage that the United States has, it's our private capital markets, our private wealth.
00:27:19
So, we want to leverage those things, as opposed to just the taxpayer at all.
00:27:23
We want to leverage all of that strength and wealth to protect and to invest in ultimately our national security.
00:27:32
So, I want to bend a little bit there that we want to leverage that.
00:27:36
We want to leverage the profit incentive, and we do need to change the business of defense and the contracting of defense, as opposed to merely demonizing it.
00:27:45
Right.
00:27:46
So, the president says he's going to solve that problem in Ukraine in 24 hours.
00:27:50
How does he even approach it?
00:27:52
Well, I think the important thing is going to be providing Ukraine with the best negotiating position, and it's always good to negotiate from a position of strength.
00:28:05
I think allowing, changing the policy to allow the Iranians to shoot back, to go after the supply depots, even if they be in Russia,
00:28:15
even if they be with Western supply munitions.
00:28:18
That's perfectly reasonable, perfectly acceptable.
00:28:21
We've got to give the, we've got to stop asking the Ukrainians to fight with one hand behind their back, because we don't want this to continue on forever, we want them to win.
00:28:30
We want them to get to a position where they're making the least negotiate from position strength.
00:28:34
Yeah, that would help when it comes to Hamas there now asking for a ceasefire to end this conflict after the election of Trump.
00:28:42
This is an opportunity to get hostages back, because they know it's going to get a lot worse for them, because President Trump, if you look at his profile, he will give Netanyahu a lot more room than Biden,
00:28:53
and he's not cutting off weapons.
00:28:55
Yes, but I also say that Hamas, if they are indeed asking to negotiate after, it's because of the posture and of the way in which the Israelis are prosecuted,
00:29:08
the Hamas conflict, and also the Hezbollah conflict, they've been going after their leadership, they've been putting the pain between the ears of the decision makers.
00:29:19
And so that goes a long way to changing the minds of the decision makers.
00:29:24
And so I think, again, having that overall posture, to not sitting and taking it, but rather to taking a fight to them, there's lessons there for the Ukraine conflict as well.
00:29:34
Tom Carrico with us.
00:29:35
And if I let you go, this is somebody that hasn't fought in wars, but sometimes in life, you need an opportunity to maybe cool things down.
00:29:47
You'd think it's a, maybe you have an off ramp.
00:29:50
Do you think on some level with Russia losing 500,000 people, with the Palestinians losing almost all the Hamas fighters, and sadly,
00:30:00
some civilians, Hezbollah losing their entire top brass?
00:30:05
Do you think that they might say, okay, with Trump coming in, or if we put it out there to go out and meet you, there might be an appetite to scale back China's economy doing so badly,
00:30:16
wondering about what's going on with buying the Iranian oil, which is about to end.
00:30:22
Do you think there might be any search for an off ramp from the new Axis powers?
00:30:27
>> Well, I think if there is going to be that off ramp, it's not going to be by letting the foot off the gas.
00:30:33
It's by convincing them that these railings, the Ukrainians and the United States will lean forward and that they will lose, and that's the best way to get them to stop is to convince them that they will lose and it will not be worth the cost that continues.
00:30:47
>> Right.
00:30:48
>> And save face.
00:30:49
Right?
00:30:50
>> Save face.
00:30:51
>> Yes.
00:30:52
>> Yes.
00:30:53
And so they understand hard power.
00:30:54
That's not going to just be about the force of personality, or the threat of personality.
00:30:59
It's also going to be hard power, and continuing the tempo.
00:31:04
>> Yeah.
00:31:05
>> I don't want the Russians to think they've won.
00:31:08
Maybe I'm an arrearity.
00:31:11
I want the Ukrainians to be successful, and that should be a priority.
00:31:16
And I hope that gets back.
00:31:18
I hope the President, I hope the President comes around to that point of view.
00:31:23
Tom, thanks so much.
00:31:24
>> All right.
00:31:25
Have a good one.
00:31:26
>> All right.
00:31:27
Back in a moment.
00:31:28
Listen, when I come back, I'll be going out to Ohio, going out to Virginia, going out to Glendor, California, and New Mexico.
00:31:33
I want to find out what you have to say about this titanic election change, this big movement.
00:31:37
It looks like the House will be retained with a small margin, by the way.
00:31:41
And the Senate, 53 seats for Republicans, and a Republican with over 300 electoral votes, and no Russia phony scandal to stop them.
00:31:51
We're in a little bit of a honeymoon now.
00:31:53
How would you like to see the President execute during this time?
00:31:55
Who would you like to see him hire?
00:31:57
How do you think they would roll can he play in these three weeks or four or five weeks before he takes power?
00:32:03
You listen to Brian Killmeet show.
00:32:05
>> Coming to you on a need to know basis because, Mandy, you need to know, it's Brian Killmeed.
00:32:19
The more you listen, the more you'll know, it's Brian Killmeed.
00:32:24
We are in the midst of a meltdown, and if the party is just going to vilify anyone who has a courage to stand up and say what needs to change, we are going to keep losing.
00:32:34
If we don't recognize that America has finally shifted to the right, that we're undergoing a right word shift, we're going to keep losing.
00:32:40
We cannot keep indulging the fringe of the party at the expense of the American people.
00:32:45
>> See, the only thing I criticize her for, that's Linda Lee, DNC's national finance chair.
00:32:50
She's a Harris, a Harris surrogate or used to be, no one will be a surrogate now, it's not America going to the right, it's American using common sense.
00:32:58
These aren't even conservative things, enforce the border, that's not conservative.
00:33:02
Don't put girls in men's sports or don't put men in girls' sports, that's not conservative.
00:33:08
Enforce crime is not conservative.
00:33:09
I'm not talking about crack down on crime.
00:33:12
Enforce crime, don't defund the cops, respect them, use all the above when it comes to energy.
00:33:20
Scott, New Mexico, he's Scott.
00:33:22
>> Hey.
00:33:23
>> Hey, what's on your mind?
00:33:25
>> So, what's on my mind is that I'm very glad that Trump got elected, so he would have a chance to put America first, megapi, instead of Mike Pompeo as the defense secretary.
00:33:40
And hopefully all the insurvey war mongers, and also work with Congress to cut off the $200 billion to Ukraine that only cost us the manufacturing jobs.
00:33:55
We can invest that money here in America domestically, and you should negotiate good faith, see the fire with Vladimir Putin, I'm pretty sure that it would be much better than spending than wasting all our tax money.
00:34:11
>> Scott, I hear you, but just having a ceasefire, giving up maybe a third of your country for an invasion that was unwarranted, it's just flat out theft.
00:34:23
While you kid, they kidnap children, bring them back and put them up for adoption in Russia.
00:34:28
I think that if you just said, okay, let's get a ceasefire without getting the kids back, getting them most of that land back, paying for the infrastructure.
00:34:37
There's got to be, that means they'll be rewarded for this brutal invasion.
00:34:42
So I understand wanting to get it done, and people say we got to spend it home.
00:34:46
I think you could do both.
00:34:48
I think you got to get, there's a victory plan that the Ukrainian president has.
00:34:52
I'd like to take a look at that.
00:34:54
Kill and Florida, hey, Gil.
00:34:56
>> Good morning, sir, and thank you for taking my call.
00:35:00
I would like to ask you to please educate me what Mr.
00:35:05
Gabin Newsom is referring to as the freedoms that you would like to protect against Donald Trump.
00:35:13
>> Freedom to get an abortion, I guess?
00:35:15
Freedom to transition your kids without telling your parents, or if the kid wants to be known, if Robbie wants to be known as Roberta, not telling the parents.
00:35:24
I mean, this is the stuff they care about.
00:35:26
>> Freedom to do drugs?
00:35:29
>> Yeah.
00:35:29
>> Open air drugs?
00:35:30
Open air drugs?
00:35:31
>> Freedom to steal $950.
00:35:33
>> Yep.
00:35:34
>> Walmart, Target, CBS?
00:35:36
>> Yes, that's what he wants.
00:35:39
That's what he wants.
00:35:40
And by the way, there was criminal justice passed, Proposition 36.
00:35:43
So there's going to be a bit of a crackdown.
00:35:45
I don't know if that $900 threshold has been rescinded.
00:35:49
We will see, but I think I'm going to play this clip for you.
00:35:53
I saw it last night, with Adam Smith, when asked about the new resistance moment cropping up in Gavin Newsom's quest to be a counter to Trump's White House.
00:36:04
I want you to hear what he said.
00:36:06
Cut 33.
00:36:07
>> Look, there's a lot of different factors here.
00:36:10
But yeah, I will say bluntly, I think our party needs to do a better job of standing up against some of the extreme left policies that have really propelled Donald Trump forward.
00:36:22
And yeah, I'd give the same advice to Gavin Newsom that I'm going to give to our new governor, Bob Ferguson, here in the state of Washington.
00:36:29
If you want to stand up to Trump, I suggest you don't ever mention him.
00:36:32
I suggest you govern well.
00:36:34
>> It, you know what it's called?
00:36:37
Don't worry about it.
00:36:38
Just do your job and people will notice.
00:36:40
Do your job.
00:36:41
Be efficient in people will notice.
00:36:42
Senator Murphy said the same thing as Governor Pritzker is Gavin Newsom and Governor Hocal.
00:36:47
They didn't call you out, he didn't go after your job.
00:36:51
In fact, he's, as the most part, Donald Trump profiles as a president that likes to give power to the states.
00:36:58
Who are you fighting?
00:37:00
>> From the Fox News radio studios in Midtown, Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show,
00:37:11
Brian Kilmeade.
00:37:13
>> Hi, everyone, welcome to the latest moment to the Brian Kilmeade show.
00:37:18
So glad you're here.
00:37:19
Michael Schellenberger in studio, founder and chairman of politics, censorship, and free speech at the University of Austin, but he's got a lot of jobs.
00:37:28
Neil Chatterjee is going to be with us shortly too at the bottom of the hour, former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission under President Trump.
00:37:36
First thing Trump wants to do is the border.
00:37:38
One B is energy.
00:37:39
He wants to maximize it responsibly, responsibly, and you're going to see it really pick up, especially if we believe Iran's the issue, you take Iran's energy off the market,
00:37:50
it could spike oil.
00:37:51
And secondly, if we pick up the pace a little and others do the same thing like Saudi Arabia, who was the first person to call Trump after his monstrous win.
00:37:59
So I come to you from Midtown, Manhattan, and a rare visit from Michael Schellenberger here.
00:38:03
Michael, great to see you in person, it's the first time seeing you in person.
00:38:06
>> It is really nice to see you in person, Brian.
00:38:07
>> Did three hours with Joe Rogan, I enjoyed every minute of it, you got your wide swath.
00:38:13
You just spent time in Brazil.
00:38:15
>> Brazil is a warning to all of us, it's a sign of what could have happened here.
00:38:19
I mean, they actually are preventing their popular former president, Bolsonaro, from being able to run for president again, of course, that's what they're trying to do with Trump.
00:38:27
They're doing mass censorship, I mean Elon Musk was in a tough situation.
00:38:31
It was deprive 22 million Brazilians of acts, or agree to government demands to ban about 300 people.
00:38:40
They had to make a tough choice on it, but we're still fighting down there.
00:38:42
The Brazilian people, at the end of the day, were all Americans, were all the Americans, and they really love their freedom there, and so we're absolutely not giving up, and I'm going to keep fighting.
00:38:51
>> And when people don't understand it, Joe Biden loves Lula.
00:38:54
Lula is basically mentored by Castro.
00:38:57
This guy is a corrupt guy, they should be in prison.
00:38:59
He got out, they propped him up, they put him back in, and Bolsonaro gets railroaded out, and he was a Trump guy, and because he was pro-Trump, and very similar to Trump,
00:39:09
all of a sudden the Democrats don't like him, but Joe Rogan didn't know either.
00:39:13
They don't understand who the good guy was.
00:39:15
>> Well, it's a crazy story, because as you may know, I was on the left, I was on the radical left.
00:39:21
I interviewed Lula 30 years ago this year, and I asked him, I was actually always in favorite free speech, so I wasn't that way, but I said, are you going to turn Brazil into Cuba and restrict free speech,
00:39:31
and have censorship, and he said absolutely not.
00:39:34
He promised me that 30 years ago, I wrote an article about it back then, and when he started censoring earlier this year, I called him out on acts about it, the Brazilians are, but they're in the streets, we had hundreds of thousands of people in the streets of São Paulo,
00:39:46
Brazil, in early September.
00:39:47
>> Are you rallying them?
00:39:49
>> No, I'm just, I mean, I'm just sort of like a little American mascot, but I'm happy to sort of be there, and we did the Twitter files, Brazil, which showed mass censorship demands,
00:40:00
it was awful.
00:40:01
I mean, it's not just that they were doing censorship of individual content, they were literally banning people from every social media platform, which is basically destroys the lives of independent journalists and independent politicians.
00:40:13
You have to be on social media, to be in media or politics, and so it was a kind of, it's a kind of totalitarianism down there that really gives us a glimpse into the future that we want to avoid.
00:40:22
>> And it just backs up, and I know you agree with this, is that Elon Musk buying Twitter out of all the things he's contributed to society from our space program to the electric car, to the chips in the brain.
00:40:34
Buying Twitter, taking a huge loss to get it, probably is his greatest contribution to restraining out America, because what you discovered there, and what you found out, yet our intelligence agency is along with the government on the outside restricting and shadow banning some of the most important voices in America,
00:40:50
whether it's Don Jr., Don Sr., or the laptop information.
00:40:54
>> Look, our intelligence community is in a very bad way.
00:40:59
We are 50 years into, I mean, we had big reforms in the mid 70s, so we're in a very similar moment.
00:41:07
A huge committee in the Senate, that's when we discovered the CIA was engaged in assassinations, mind control, drugging people, crazy stuff was uncovered.
00:41:17
We cleaned out the intelligence agencies.
00:41:19
They're back to being politicized, weaponized, corrupted, I think it was yesterday said that they are going to take action on this.
00:41:28
We need new heads of the FBI, CIA, and Department of Homeland Security.
00:41:32
But more than that, they got to put in place real reforms to protect our freedoms.
00:41:35
We've got to put a check on these warrantless wiretaps that they're engaged in.
00:41:40
We saw with the Hunter by and Laptop, and I think people have a sense of it.
00:41:45
December 2019, the FBI knew that that was a legitimate laptop.
00:41:49
In 2020, the FBI, because our spy on Rudy Giuliani, they knew that he was giving the laptop that he had to the New York Post.
00:41:57
They ran a disinformation effort.
00:42:00
It's so sinister, the FBI and the CIA ran a disinformation effort to convince the social media companies and the journalists that the laptop wasn't real,
00:42:10
that it was Russian disinformation.
00:42:12
It's such a stain on this.
00:42:15
So with the head in time, just to refresh everyone's memory is, there's going to be something coming your way.
00:42:19
That's right.
00:42:20
And it's going to be look like it's going to be authentic.
00:42:21
But it's really the Russians putting phony information out.
00:42:24
And when it happens, Zuckerberg told Joe Rogan, yeah, we got a heads up that this thing was going to happen.
00:42:29
Well,aptop came out.
00:42:30
We said, this is exactly what they warned us about.
00:42:33
And we were in on suppressing it.
00:42:35
It's shocking.
00:42:36
Just so you know, 15% of the electorate said they might have voted differently.
00:42:39
Had they known that Joe Biden and his family were involved in these overseas business dealings that could compromise their ability to lead clearly and without constraints.
00:42:49
That matters.
00:42:50
Why doesn't matter so much that Trump not get elected?
00:42:53
Oh, I mean, maybe in 2020.
00:42:56
And probably now, if you had there, like, why was they so desperate to get them out?
00:43:01
And why were they so desperate not to let them in?
00:43:03
You know, people there, I mean, I asked a bunch of people this question, including people that revealed to us that the CIA had manipulated the intelligence assessment that came out in early 2016,
00:43:15
claiming that the Russians favored Trump.
00:43:17
The evidence actually showed that the Russians favored Hillary because she was continuity.
00:43:21
The Russians thought that Trump was too much chaos and, you know, too much madman wild man.
00:43:27
They didn't know what they, it was unpredictable.
00:43:29
So they manipulated the intelligence assessment.
00:43:31
I mean, that is a serious high crime by the CIA, the CIA director at the time, James Brighton.
00:43:37
Why did they do it?
00:43:38
You know, I asked people, is it because they were worried that Trump was going to normalize relations with Russia where they worried that they wouldn't be able to go to war and be war mongers?
00:43:46
I think there are some of that, but I just think these guys hated Trump.
00:43:48
They just hated him at a visceral level, and I mean, the heads of the intelligence agencies, they were dogmatic Democrats.
00:43:56
It was Trump derangement syndrome at the bottom.
00:43:58
Can I just say, and I don't know if you guys said that on the show, but Gina Haspel was head of the CIA.
00:44:02
And she had to sign off on that, okay, the 51 intel agency said the laptop was real.
00:44:07
She looked and said, go ahead, you could put that letter out there.
00:44:09
So is Gina Haspel also anti-Trump?
00:44:11
Yes.
00:44:12
Who's Trump putting that spot?
00:44:13
A hundred percent.
00:44:14
Gina Haspel was part of the disinformation operation.
00:44:18
We have to remember that the politicization of the intelligence agencies is so radical, and throughout American history, which you went from your CIN FBI directors to be scrupulously nonpartisan,
00:44:28
did not engage well.
00:44:30
She approved that letter from those 51 former intelligence agents within hours.
00:44:36
Within hours, all she had to do, if assuming she didn't already know, was pick up the phone and call the FBI and ask her if the laptop was real.
00:44:42
She did not do that.
00:44:44
She is absolutely a traitor to not just the Trump administration, but to the American people and to the Constitution.
00:44:50
She violated her oaths of office.
00:44:52
These are serious high crimes they need to be investigated.
00:44:55
So we'll tell you what Michael Shellenberg, Michael, you know the West Coast, you moved out to Austin, but you've lived there for how long?
00:45:00
30 years.
00:45:01
30 years.
00:45:02
Where?
00:45:03
Berkeley, which is across the Bay.
00:45:04
Don't you feel we're a self-correcting country.
00:45:06
Yes.
00:45:07
And if you think I'm too optimistic, fine.
00:45:09
But guess who's at?
00:45:11
You lost Chesobo's bohem because terrible performance.
00:45:14
You just lost the mayor, London breed, just lost an election.
00:45:19
Now you have, they lost their AG over in Los Angeles, which is named again, this terrible gas cons out.
00:45:27
Gascon is out.
00:45:28
So he is in and Donald Trump added six points in his popularity in California.
00:45:35
Are they beginning to wake up in a place that Ronald Reagan used to be governor?
00:45:39
It's a revolution.
00:45:40
I don't know.
00:45:41
I mean, you're right to be optimistic.
00:45:42
And I'm thrilled.
00:45:43
I literally haven't been this happy in years.
00:45:46
In fact, the day after the election, I was like, what is this feeling I'm having?
00:45:50
And it was like a feeling both of happiness, but also relieved.
00:45:53
You're not a Republican?
00:45:54
Not a Republican.
00:45:55
I mean, independent.
00:45:56
I was like I said, I was on the very radical left.
00:45:58
I wasn't just like a moderate Democrat either.
00:46:00
They drove us all out of the party.
00:46:01
I mean, it was, you know, it was, look, you have 75% of voters in San Francisco that want to arrest people that are camping publicly, smoking, fentanyl public and get them the care they need,
00:46:11
the get them into rehab, where they're reviving people 10 or 20 times from fentanyl overdoses before they then die.
00:46:19
This is insanity.
00:46:20
I mean, I discovered a two-year-old child on the streets of Skid Row surrounded by people that are violent, psychotic, holding weapons.
00:46:29
It's an extremely immoral situation.
00:46:32
It's actually even better than you said.
00:46:34
They also...
00:46:35
Prop 36.
00:46:36
Prop 36 is the main event.
00:46:37
I mean, that recriminalized drug dealing.
00:46:40
It recriminalized shoplifting under $900, $900.
00:46:43
So yes, we got to, you have to crack down on fentanyl.
00:46:47
This is the most dangerous drug, beautiful medicine for people that are going through back surgery, like my mother, smoking fentanyl and meth on the street is a death sentence.
00:46:57
They also recalled, brand, they also recalled the mayor of Oakland, because she's corrupt, she's under FBI investigation classic for garbage contract corruption.
00:47:07
They recalled the district attorney of Oakland, as well as the district attorney of Los Angeles, both George Soros backed district attorneys.
00:47:16
Gavin Newsom is now, they're in a narcissistic bubble.
00:47:21
They are so, their egos are so fragile that they can't acknowledge defeat.
00:47:27
But what they ended up doing was driving all of us that had some concerns around what's happening on the streets.
00:47:34
They drove us all out of the party.
00:47:36
So, you've got this reaction now that I think is absolutely healthy.
00:47:40
It gives me hope in the American people that gives me hope in the people of California.
00:47:44
Well, all of a sudden, you're Gavin.
00:47:45
Gavin Newsom comes out and he's going to be part of the resistance.
00:47:48
He promises to Trump prove California.
00:47:51
He's having an emergency meeting.
00:47:52
Pritzker is something similar.
00:47:53
Governor Murphy of New Jersey is something similar.
00:47:55
Well, we're going to Trump proof Governor Hocal, our press conference yesterday with that lunatic Latissa James.
00:48:01
How does Gavin Newsom Trump proof California?
00:48:04
What is he talking about?
00:48:05
It's about freedom.
00:48:06
What kind of freedom?
00:48:07
What is he talking about with freedom?
00:48:09
Well, I mean, who is he going to talk about freedom?
00:48:11
Last year, we reported that he created a snitch line, literally taxpayer funded snitch line for people to report so-called hate speech, cyberbullying.
00:48:19
Somebody was mean to me on the internet.
00:48:20
I'm going to report them to the government.
00:48:22
He created that.
00:48:23
We are engaged in an immoral medical mistreatment experiment against children, adolescents, invulnerable adults.
00:48:32
California is the epicenter of it.
00:48:34
It has to stop.
00:48:35
70 to 80% of Americans are against the so-called gender-affirming care.
00:48:40
You cannot.
00:48:41
There are two sexes.
00:48:42
They cannot be changed.
00:48:44
There's been no scientific breakthrough that allowed you to change sex.
00:48:47
They're doing drugs and so they're blocking puberty.
00:48:50
The right puberty is a human right.
00:48:52
He has the right to go through puberty.
00:48:53
They're blocking you.
00:48:54
I can't believe what you just said.
00:48:55
Do you realize what you just said?
00:48:56
It's crazy that you have to say that.
00:48:58
Right.
00:48:59
You know, it is a pseudo-scientific cult, the idea that you could change somebody's sex.
00:49:04
You can't do it.
00:49:05
These children, and also it's mentally adults, are being abused.
00:49:11
I mean, this is the worst medical mistreatment scandal since lobotomies, the lidomide, it will go down in history as an absolute stain on California,
00:49:22
on Gavin Newsom.
00:49:24
Gavin is trying to prevent schools from informing parents when their children have been brainwashed into thinking that they're the opposite sex.
00:49:32
So for me, when I look at the priorities of the incoming Trump administration, we have to do something to end this barbaric practice.
00:49:38
Even if he was a pure political hack, he would have to look at the flow charts, look at the pie charts and say, yeah, this is not going to get me elected.
00:49:45
I got to change.
00:49:46
I got to go to the middle.
00:49:47
I got to change my opinions like so many of these politicians in New York did.
00:49:51
The ones that flipped the seats back to Democrat were had Trump in their ads.
00:49:57
So they weren't running way to the left.
00:49:58
I have a great idea.
00:49:59
Let's put men in women's sports.
00:50:01
They denied that they ran from it.
00:50:03
So you would think Gavin Newsom, if he's just a political animal, would say, would Michael Schellenberger just said, hey, you know what, I can't do this gender of firmly care.
00:50:10
I've got to come out and crack down on crime and take credit for prop 36 and hopefully have short term memory loss, but he's not and I don't, I don't get it.
00:50:18
You believe he's just in a bubble.
00:50:20
I'll talk to Michael more about that in a second.
00:50:22
He was in the brain, kill me, Joe, on the historic week.
00:50:26
This is one of the biggest surprise elections that I can remember in many ways, but not so much the Trump one, but how he did it and who he brought with him and what it means for the direction of the country,
00:50:51
don't move.
00:50:57
We got a real chance to make real change.
00:50:59
This is like one of the first times ever, but there's a real chance to make real tangible change that's going to be for the good of everybody, and he's got to unite people.
00:51:10
He's got to not attack the left, not attack everybody, let him all talk their ****, but unite.
00:51:16
Now it's time to unite everybody.
00:51:18
So that was Joe Rogan yesterday after doing the endorsement the Monday before the Tuesday election.
00:51:23
Mike Schellenberger, a good friend of his is here just fresh off his show.
00:51:26
There's hope in his voice.
00:51:27
He never wanted to get political, but you were saying to me when you walked in, his endorsement had such ripple effects, even surprise you.
00:51:34
Oh, it did.
00:51:35
I mean, I was surprised by how much the media now.
00:51:37
I mean, even the, you know, even the Axios co-editor today was like, look, we just have to admit that Joe Rogan is bigger than all of the mainstream media at this point.
00:51:45
I mean, Joe's also expressing something else, which I was saying, which is like, we just felt a sense of relief and catharsis.
00:51:50
I mean, including those of us that were on the left, I mean, it was getting really to talkitarian around here, you know, there was a lot of persecution of heretics and, and dissidents on the left and it drove many of us out.
00:52:01
Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F.
00:52:02
Kennedy, Jr.
00:52:02
Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, minor figures like myself.
00:52:07
They got just kind of beat up and were like, this is not the party that we were used to.
00:52:11
It's kind of taken over by, there's a derangement that took it over.
00:52:14
You know, it's interesting is somebody who's different as, as I don't Trump is.
00:52:18
He wasn't asking for you believe in some existential project that never worked before.
00:52:23
He's going, let's enforce the border.
00:52:24
Let's build up our strength.
00:52:25
Let's not get involved in wars.
00:52:27
Let's start using our natural resources and maximizing it.
00:52:30
Nothing I just said is radical.
00:52:32
Unfortunately, we weren't doing any of it and they were denying that they weren't.
00:52:37
Were you shocked with what they were saying about the border at the end?
00:52:39
Oh, it's enforced.
00:52:41
It's fine.
00:52:42
It's down.
00:52:43
It's never been a problem.
00:52:44
Or, and now it is a problem than it wasn't a problem, but we all knew it was a problem.
00:52:47
Well, it's the gaslighting.
00:52:48
I mean, they call it, you know, the psychologist call it gaslighting because it's basically, you know, what abuse of, you know, husbands due to their wives.
00:52:56
They beat them up and they say, Oh, I didn't hit you, honey.
00:52:59
No, that we were basically being, we were basically being abused and persecuted for the last decade by a, you know, a woke, totalitarian mob.
00:53:08
And then after we, people complained about, they denied that they, that they did anything wrong.
00:53:12
I think on the other issue, Brian, it's just that civilization is not that complicated.
00:53:15
You need to have border enforcement law and order, meritocracy, cheap energy, equal justice under the law.
00:53:22
We're in a back to basics moment.
00:53:24
The kids need to get back to reading.
00:53:26
They need to get back to learning their math.
00:53:28
We got to have a proper way for people to come into the country.
00:53:31
It's not, like you said, it's not rocket science.
00:53:33
This is not landing a rocket.
00:53:35
This is just doing some, some of the basics.
00:53:37
And that's why you use the University of Austin, right?
00:53:39
I'm very happy to be, you know, it's exciting timing.
00:53:41
We got a new university now in Austin.
00:53:43
It's an incredible opportunity to get some really bright kids.
00:53:47
What's different about, first of all, is it's founded on the principle of free speech.
00:53:50
I mean, that is fundamental.
00:53:52
Is that?
00:53:53
Very wise.
00:53:54
Real Ferguson.
00:53:55
Real Ferguson.
00:53:56
That's right.
00:53:57
You know, you know, Paolo Camelo's, it came from the great books, he was running St.
00:53:59
John's great books program.
00:54:01
It's a real commitment to Western civilization.
00:54:03
I mean, I think we forget how rare free speech and democracy are in the long history of humanity.
00:54:09
It's just a very tiny, brief moment.
00:54:11
We need 250 years.
00:54:12
We're going to celebrate the 250 year anniversary in this country in a couple of years.
00:54:17
I think it's a chance to feel some gratitude for what, you know, people that died for free speech.
00:54:23
Right.
00:54:24
People died for our democracy.
00:54:25
We should have that same level of commitment.
00:54:27
Would you hope a degree from University of Austin does for people when they look at resumes, when they see University of Austin, would you hope a prospective CEO looks at sees?
00:54:38
You're going to see a whole human being, an authentic human being, somebody who has not, has not been made a one dimensional person with one dimensional views that can see some of the complexity of the world that doesn't see it all as good versus evil that if they disagree with their fellow Americans,
00:54:52
they want to understand where they're coming from.
00:54:55
I certainly want to teach something that we had learned in high school debate, which is that you better know how to represent your opponents arguments better than they are able to represent.
00:55:03
If you want to win it, that's the heart of it.
00:55:04
Right.
00:55:05
And that's good.
00:55:06
And you're going to teach in January.
00:55:07
Which time?
00:55:08
My first time teaching ever.
00:55:09
Yeah.
00:55:10
Amazing.
00:55:11
Well, but you certainly have the resume.
00:55:12
I'm sure the kids are going to be signing up.
00:55:13
Michael Schoenberger.
00:55:14
Exciting time.
00:55:15
Thanks so much for the quality time on This Historic Week.
00:55:17
Thanks for having me, Brian.
00:55:18
All right.
00:55:19
Back in a moment.
00:55:19
Radio that makes you think this is the Brian Kilmageau.
00:55:38
He talked about having a sovereign secure border.
00:55:41
That is, you said, not just energy independence, but energy dominance being the energy market for planet Earth.
00:55:48
And ending wars and restoring peace and stability all over the planet.
00:55:54
He talked about revolutionizing science and technology, sending an American astronaut to Mars working with Elon Musk to lead the way into space.
00:56:04
That is Steven Miller talking about he's going to be a key advisor to President Trump.
00:56:09
And he was talking about what they're doing with energy.
00:56:10
I know they talk about the border first and it will be and deporting the criminals and they'll do that.
00:56:15
And right in 1B is energy.
00:56:18
Neil Chatterjee joins us now, former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulate Regulatory Commission, Under Trump, former senior advisor to Mitch McConnell.
00:56:26
Neil, there's a lot of anticipation of what we have and a lot of anxiety to some.
00:56:33
But anticipation about finally reaching our potential with energy exploration.
00:56:37
What is feasible for this administration to do right off the bat?
00:56:41
I mean, I think our one just taking office will provide clarity and certainty around certain energy resources like gas.
00:56:54
I think one of the big frustrations of the past four years is the Biden administration really struggled to figure out what their view was towards gas.
00:57:06
On the one hand, they looked at things like U.S.
00:57:09
liquefied natural gas exports as a savior to Europe and giving our allies an alternative to piped in Russian gas.
00:57:18
And then they simultaneously issued a pause on certificates for these very needed energy export facilities to get that gas to Europe.
00:57:29
And that kind of confusing signal, confusing messages really caused a lot of turmoil.
00:57:37
And so I think just providing that clarity and certainty simply by virtue of taking office will not just day one, hour one lead to kind of a stronger investment environment so that we can make sure we have this infrastructure going forward to do it cleaner,
00:57:58
better and more economically sound than anybody else.
00:58:01
So Neil, here's the maddening thing.
00:58:02
You say you want to crack down on Russia, you want to hit them with sanctions, you're going to take them off the swift banking system and you're going to, you're going to tell Europe, you better not buy oil and gas from them.
00:58:12
And we have the natural gas, but we want them to not buy it from Russia, but we stopped and we froze new new leases on natural gas.
00:58:23
That only not hers in Europe, it hurts Japan who are counting on us.
00:58:28
How does that make a coherent foreign policy?
00:58:33
The craziest thing about this, I look at these facilities and I think, all right, here you've got projects that create economic growth and job development here at home that have geopolitical value in making the US a real player on the international stage.
00:58:54
And clean U.S.
00:58:58
LNG displacing dirtier sources of energy overseas, you mentioned Southeast Asia, Japan, China, U.S.
00:59:04
LNG displacing their dirtier fuel actually helps the environment as well.
00:59:09
It is a win, win, win.
00:59:12
It confounded me that the Biden administration didn't understand that.
00:59:16
And I think on day one, hour one, the Trump administration is going to reclaim that win, win for America.
00:59:24
And I know that places like Pennsylvania, they'll do it.
00:59:26
There'll be other places that will have resistance to doing it within our country.
00:59:30
But could you explain to people listening how you could say, I don't want to ban fracking.
00:59:34
But at the same time, you could ban it by slow down, slow approval of leases by making it financially, financially too much of a risk for banks to get involved in and just making federal land,
00:59:47
expanding the amount of federal land you can't drill on.
00:59:50
They're permitting.
00:59:51
There are so many permits required for these facilities.
00:59:54
That's a better word.
00:59:55
I meant to say permitting instead of leasing.
00:59:57
And so you can basically tell folks, well, no, I'm not going to ban fracking.
01:00:01
But then you pursue a bunch of policies that make it economically challenging to move forward with these facilities.
01:00:08
And that is a backdoor way to do it.
01:00:12
The Trump administration is going to reverse course on all that day one.
01:00:15
And I think Americans are going to see the benefits.
01:00:18
Some damage has already been done because when it comes to these natural gas export contracts, they're long term contracts.
01:00:28
And a lot of off takers overseas who wanted to work with the U.S.
01:00:33
to buy our gas, they've been slow to close these deals because they were worried that there wasn't certainty about what the future of gas policy would be in the U.S.
01:00:45
I think right off the bat, even before the election in the next 75 days, you're going to start to see rein-gagement from some of these off takers because they will have restored confidence that under a Trump-bant administration that the U.S.
01:00:58
will firmly remain behind gas.
01:01:01
Are you going back?
01:01:03
We'll see.
01:01:04
I haven't been asked.
01:01:06
You know, if I were asked, I would certainly consider it, but I haven't been asked.
01:01:10
It's not my call.
01:01:12
But we'll see what happens.
01:01:14
So Neal, a lot of people look at this and say, okay, Trump's in regulations will drop.
01:01:19
But there's going to be pushback from the bureaucracy against this.
01:01:23
Environmentalists who have been planted inside these organizations.
01:01:27
Is it very hard to dislodge them and stop them from coming up the works?
01:01:32
Look, I mean, you know, there's going to be a big push on this, you know, the president rolled out this policy called Schedule F that, you know,
01:01:42
kind of makes it easier to handle personnel matters in these bureaucracies, in these agencies.
01:01:49
Look, I will say I worked at a mid-sized federal agency, was the chairman of it.
01:01:54
There are a lot of wonderful public servants who are, you know, making sacrifices to serve their country.
01:02:00
I'd say the overwhelming majority are, but you do have some bad actors here who try and pursue their own agendas and not the agendas that are in the public's best interest.
01:02:16
And so, yeah, I think there will be some pressure from the Trump administration.
01:02:20
They're much more prepared coming in this time than they were back in 2016.
01:02:24
I hope so.
01:02:25
I do.
01:02:26
And they understand Trump.
01:02:27
That's the main thing.
01:02:28
Don't agree.
01:02:29
You have to respect him and understand that his rule, his word matters.
01:02:36
Debate your, put your side in and then let your defense rest and do it.
01:02:40
Unlike some other people, there were probably really good people that just couldn't handle it.
01:02:45
Tell us in Mattis Kelly and others, so Neil, explain to me what Iran's oil on the market has meant.
01:02:53
There is a sense that right before the election, the last thing to want is gas prices to go up.
01:02:57
Even though Iran was rocketing Israel twice, fermenting terror throughout the region, supporting the Houthi rebels who have shut down the Red Sea, we did not want to stop them and look the other way when they were circumventing the sanctions selling to China and others because we're afraid of the spike of oil prices and gas prices.
01:03:16
Could we number, come, was that, do they have enough of a footprint in the global market to affect the price at the gas station in America?
01:03:25
You know, I'm not a total expert in that sphere.
01:03:29
There are others that could probably speak more intelligently to the impact of Iranian oil supplies.
01:03:36
I will say what I am looking forward to is that while yes, U.S.
01:03:41
oil production has continued to prosper and has been at record levels, but it still doesn't mean that it was, that we were fully taking advantage of it because of the mixed signals,
01:03:54
because of the fear of future regulations, because of the fear of future crackdowns.
01:03:59
So removing that uncertainty is going to enable the U.S.
01:04:03
to impact global oil markets.
01:04:06
And that's what I'm encouraged by, but I'm not enough of an expert on the Iranian situation unfortunately.
01:04:12
Should we be buying Venezuela and oil?
01:04:15
Absolutely not.
01:04:16
Why would we, when we have the ability to be energy, not just dependent, but independent, but energy dominant here at home?
01:04:26
Thank you.
01:04:27
I got to ask you about something really concerning people, not getting enough attention because of the election this week.
01:04:32
So the Nashville power grid was almost blown up by a suspect who, a young guy who was looking to blow it up with a drone, Skylar Philippi who appeared in court,
01:04:44
court documents wearing a skull mask and showing off homemade bombs.
01:04:48
So they've foiled the attempt in Tennessee, do you know anything more about this?
01:04:53
I don't know the specifics, but like things like this have been happening the last couple of years, you know, and I think there's been a lot of focus on what folks' motivations are.
01:05:03
But from my standpoint, when I was in the government at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, my foremost responsibility was oversight of the reliability of the grid because when the power goes out, it's hugely disruptive to American life.
01:05:16
And various actors have come to realize that.
01:05:20
And you know, sometimes the motives range from, you know, teenagers hoarsing around people who had too much to drink and think it's funny, or folks with genuinely nefarious motives.
01:05:34
And so this is just something that we all collectively have to be vigilant about.
01:05:38
We have 54,000 substations in the United States of America.
01:05:43
The most critical ones are required to have kind of 24/7 surveillance and protection, but it is just two costs and two untenable to have that level of surveillance and protection around every one of these 54,000 substations.
01:05:57
So we've just got to make sure we remain vigilant.
01:05:59
Really, there's nothing you could do to make them a harder target.
01:06:03
Have you seen plans in place to do it that would be cost effective?
01:06:09
This pros and cons, right?
01:06:10
So in certain regions of the country, you could put sandbags over transformers that could propel a bullet.
01:06:16
But then if it gets really, really hot, the impact of those sandbags could be more detrimental than an even a bullet.
01:06:23
Replacing chain-linked fences with, you know, hard fences seems really practical.
01:06:29
But then when you start to look at the cost implications across 54,000 substations, that starts to get pretty expensive pretty quickly.
01:06:37
Having video cameras there can help you maybe catch someone after the fact, but isn't necessarily a deterrent, if someone's determined to do something beforehand.
01:06:48
I think, you know, law enforcement intelligence services as indicated by this current situation have done a pretty good job of cracking down, but the reality is that cyber and physical threats to the grid are just something that those of us in the energy space are now going to have to get accustomed to deal with.
01:07:08
Here's one thing that the Trump administration can do, again, to really help here, speed up the clearance process for folks in the energy industry to get security clearances.
01:07:20
I want to add the CEO of a pipeline company, major pipeline company, come and tell me he got briefed by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence that his system was vulnerable, but he didn't have a single person in his entire company that had a high enough clearance to get the T.S.
01:07:35
SCI-level briefing to even know where to invest to protect his system.
01:07:40
Because this is new to those of us in the energy space, this idea that we are now kind of at the front lines of, you know, these kinds of attacks on the grid.
01:07:50
And so we've got to get people clearances.
01:07:53
There are other things that we can do to coordinate across the state and federal level with industry to make sure that we stay ahead of these directs.
01:08:02
What about nuclear?
01:08:03
That's how you say the problem is becoming efficient, but they got to protect it because the nuclear energy could be a weapon, correct?
01:08:09
Yeah, so look, that's one of the challenges with nuclear power.
01:08:12
We're even talking about advanced reactors smaller, you know, reactor small modular reactors.
01:08:17
At the end of the day, even a small reactor is, you know, it's a nuclear facility that needs to be guarded by an army 24/7, and that, you know,
01:08:28
can be a cost-determined to the deployment of nuclear power, just the security fact of what it takes to protect it.
01:08:36
Sometimes that pushes away investment in nuclear.
01:08:39
Yeah, I just wonder what Europe's going to do because they're shutting them down, right?
01:08:42
Are they still shutting nuclear?
01:08:43
Are they reopening?
01:08:44
So we're about to see, I don't think folks around the world have fully wrapped their brains around how much the demand for power is getting ready to surge,
01:08:55
driven by data centers, driven by AI, driven by the need to power data centers to support AI.
01:09:03
There is an AI race that is going to take place around the world right now.
01:09:06
China is building a nuclear plant a week to try and win that AI race.
01:09:11
We need more power here in the U.S.
01:09:14
and I think our European allies in the manner in which they've handled their resource mix, they're going to find themselves falling behind in that AI race because they're not going to have the power necessary to meet all this coming,
01:09:26
you know, surge in demand.
01:09:28
All right, Neil.
01:09:29
Get your resume back in there.
01:09:30
I'm sure they know what you did, and hopefully the energy sector is going to be really exciting with this administration.
01:09:35
I hope you're back in.
01:09:36
I know the president listen to you to put a good word in for me.
01:09:39
You got it.
01:09:40
Of course, I say I'm his number one, I'm his number one advisor.
01:09:42
Neil, thank you.
01:09:43
When we come back, we'll be able to take some of, say, some of your calls, Brian kill me Joe in this historic week,
01:10:07
don't move.
01:10:17
We try to harm New Yorkers or roll back their rights.
01:10:21
I will fight you every step of the way.
01:10:27
New Yorkers are resilient.
01:10:29
We fought the first time around and we'll fight again.
01:10:32
So this idiot, Governor Kathy Hoko, total, total fraud, instead of saying, well, the American spoken, we were able to flip three seats back, a Democratic seats back,
01:10:43
Democratic in Long Island in New York City, and you know, we lost at lower C to Monday or whatever.
01:10:48
And by the way, we can see Donald Trump, a New Yorker became president of the United States and we're still New York and we wish in the best, like the mayor said, mayor Adams said congratulations to governor to the president and president and vice president elect.
01:11:03
She shows no class two days ago.
01:11:06
She comes out and then let us your James follows cut 30.
01:11:11
And if possible, we will work with his administration, but we will not compromise our values or our integrity or our principles.
01:11:24
And we are prepared to fight back once again.
01:11:30
Because as the attorney general of this great state is my job to protect and defend the rights of New Yorkers and the rule of law.
01:11:38
Really?
01:11:42
She's already getting huge blowback and you're going to hear from it, including somebody that might just be the next attorney general who basically said, we're not, we're not messing around this time and we'll put your fat ass in prison for conspiracy against the rights.
01:11:55
I promise you that.
01:11:56
That from Mike Davis, a direct quote, I dare you to try to continue your law fair against president Trump in a second term.
01:12:03
Listen here, sweetheart.
01:12:04
He says, we are not messing around.
01:12:06
Wow.
01:12:07
I don't get him the job.
01:12:08
Jerry and Connecticut.
01:12:09
Hey, Jerry.
01:12:10
Hey, I was calling about I live in Connecticut, but I work in New York and I got this unhinged letter from a state senator, Liz Krueger,
01:12:21
28 district.
01:12:23
And why it's significant is because Trump tower among other places and I think Fox news and pops possibly even ABC, they're in her district.
01:12:32
So so in a sense, what she, this is not a college professor.
01:12:37
You know, this is not that kid screaming on the sidewalk eight years ago, over the long ago was this should be, I mean, she's quite elderly.
01:12:44
This should be a responsible individual, but I mean, she must have not heard a word Joe Biden said because let's see, the letter begins with, there is no question, our nation is entering a dangerous and uncertain time.
01:12:57
And then she has another, she quotes an author about people kept faith in the dictatorships of South American in the 1970s and 1980s, what's her name,
01:13:08
what's your name, Jerry?
01:13:09
Her name is state Senator Liz Krueger, right, our U E G E R.
01:13:14
And what I'm calling about is perhaps either somebody could send my first thought was to call the secret service before she seems to be inciting an insurrection with a word.
01:13:25
My second thought is to call the NYPD and have somebody do a wellness check on it.
01:13:30
Yeah, a lot of people need it, including every late night host, not name, not name Greg Godfell.
01:13:39
I'm serious.
01:13:40
I mean, everyone, the late night shows everybody on MSNBC, they're just nuts.
01:13:48
From my adopt box news headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never selling to vision.
01:13:59
It's Brian Kilm.
01:14:00
Thank you being here.
01:14:01
Everybody is to Brian Kilm.
01:14:02
Show historic week of fun week.
01:14:04
Zavika Klein is going to be with us at the bottom of the hour, editor in chief of the Jerusalem post.
01:14:09
Man, you want to get the post of the people in the ultimate hotspot in the country, in the world, in the country.
01:14:14
What am I thinking?
01:14:15
I in the world where Donald Trump's going to be like a laser focused and probably has already on top of it because of Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Lutherie Rebels, what's the elements in Syria and beyond.
01:14:27
We'll talk about that.
01:14:29
And by the way, Iran continues to say we were looking to assassinate President Trump.
01:14:33
Is that okay with you?
01:14:34
And if you think that President Trump's not going to back off with his Iran policy, Brian Hook is being is being asked back to help out as an advisor to Iran.
01:14:43
He is also on the hit list from the grand diatola for taking that Soleimani.
01:14:47
He is part of the brass knuckles against Iran, who is the problem in the region.
01:14:52
Before we get to Shannon Breem, let's get to the big three.
01:14:54
Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three.
01:15:00
Number three, as California attorney general, if Trump attacks your rights, I'll be there.
01:15:07
You come from my people.
01:15:09
You come through me.
01:15:10
If you try to harm New Yorkers or roll back their rights, I will fight you every step of the way.
01:15:17
What losers?
01:15:18
These guys from Illinois, in California, in New York, I'm going to stand up from my people for what?
01:15:26
Let the resistance begin foolishly self-serving governors, AGs, misread the room and announce they have plans to fight back on Trump and make their state Trump proof.
01:15:37
From what may I ask, we'll discuss.
01:15:39
Number two, it was a red wedding style defeat.
01:15:42
It was a catastrophe.
01:15:44
We cannot just call Americans racist and bigots and say that that is the reason why Kamala Harris lost.
01:15:50
Okay, I'm pretty sure there's a lot other reasons why.
01:15:54
The political earthquake still shaking the nation, a Republican as Republicans try and lock up the house after increasing their majority in the Senate and flipping it.
01:16:02
We look at the gains and the reasons why Trump's agenda resonated with America and the Dems don't have a resume.
01:16:09
Number one.
01:16:10
He had really good people working with him the first time and he's got really good people working on it now and when he focuses in on it, as I imagine he's starting to do, you know, we're going to start getting those decisions and I'm going to be working with them one way or the other.
01:16:22
There you go.
01:16:23
That is Marco Rubio.
01:16:24
I think he's going to be the next secretary of state.
01:16:26
Trump wins.
01:16:27
Names his first staffer and his historic selection is a strong woman.
01:16:32
It is Susie Wiles, we're going to look back at the leading contenders and the three big names that have removed themselves from contention and Shannon Brehm, I should say four because you've removed yourself too,
01:16:43
right?
01:16:43
When asked, you will not serve?
01:16:45
Correct.
01:16:46
I am busy with other things and I think I need to focus there.
01:16:49
Well, you have to have better answer than that if he asks.
01:16:52
I'm busy with other things.
01:16:53
All right.
01:16:54
I'll work on it.
01:16:55
I'd like to call it anytime.
01:16:56
Right.
01:16:57
I'm sorry.
01:16:58
I'm doing something else.
01:16:59
It's not good.
01:17:00
I'm covering your administration, not being in it.
01:17:01
That's true.
01:17:02
You could do one or the other.
01:17:04
They pay equally.
01:17:05
Actually, they don't.
01:17:06
That's the way.
01:17:07
So, Shannon, I mean, a benefit package here versus the White House, I don't know.
01:17:10
Fox benefits.
01:17:11
It's pretty good.
01:17:12
Now, Susie Wiles.
01:17:13
I like my dentist.
01:17:14
I don't want to have to change that.
01:17:15
Right.
01:17:16
And that's the only reason why you will be there.
01:17:17
I don't want to change my dentist.
01:17:18
I don't want to change my job.
01:17:19
Right.
01:17:20
And if we could get you the same dental plan, it might be a go.
01:17:23
I mean, I got to have some negotiating leverage, so we'll see what you can do.
01:17:26
So Shannon, I know Fox News Sunday.
01:17:27
Don't tell us yet who's going to be on.
01:17:30
I do want to ask you about Susie Wiles being named as a strong woman, the chief of staff.
01:17:35
Not the biggest surprise.
01:17:36
I thought the main reason was I thought you wanted to go back to Jacksonville.
01:17:41
I did not know that she wanted to do this because it's exhausting doing what she did for the last two years.
01:17:47
Exactly.
01:17:48
And I think all of us when Susie's name was floated, weren't sure she would actually want to take it.
01:17:53
It seems like a very smart choice for President Trump because she's kind of known as the one that's like a Trump whisperer that she really can talk strategy, calm him, calm some of his impulses and works really well with him and he trusts her.
01:18:05
So that's the kind of person you do need as White House chief of staff.
01:18:08
It's a different job than running a campaign, which is excruciating.
01:18:11
It's exhausting.
01:18:12
It's all those things.
01:18:13
But Washington is a different beast and remember when he won in 2016, I don't really think they were prepared to win and do this transition and walk in.
01:18:21
He knows what he's doing this time and who he wants surrounding him and how this is going to work.
01:18:25
So she seems like the right skill set and match for him.
01:18:27
So what is the more intriguing for you, filling up the cabinet for President-elect Trump or the destruction of the Democratic Party?
01:18:35
You have, I couldn't believe this video and they have a lip reader.
01:18:39
There's a video of Nancy Pelosi sitting there on the I lost concession speech, Kamala Harris.
01:18:45
And she's approached by Donna Brazil who seems to be yelling at her.
01:18:48
And then you have the mayor, Bowser, say ladies, calm down, calm down, calm down because it looks like Donna Brazil blames Nancy Pelosi for everything, could be anything for getting rid of Biden for not kicking him out earlier.
01:19:03
What are you hearing, Shannon?
01:19:04
>> Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of consternation and the finger pointing is going in every direction.
01:19:08
But as you know, it is Biden and Harris, those two teams going at each other, they're those very frustrated that Biden was encouraged to run again.
01:19:16
And that there wasn't more of a voice saying, hey, this may not be the best idea for us.
01:19:21
And then there are those that say, you know, Harris didn't run the right campaign, that she didn't connect with people.
01:19:26
She didn't give us enough information about, you know, people were left to think that she was very progressive based on things that she's done and the ways that she voted on things in the past and that she didn't have enough time to make her case.
01:19:36
And then, of course, you know, there are Democrats who were just saying, hey, listen, the American electorate is misinformed, there's disinformation out there, there's sexist, there racist.
01:19:43
And a lot of Democrats feel like, listen, we can't stop there.
01:19:46
It's very shallow.
01:19:47
We're going to get us to the lessons we should take from this Tuesday, she'll acting.
01:19:51
So plenty of blame game going on here in DC.
01:19:53
I want you here, Linda Lee, she's the DNC National Finance Chair, cut 11.
01:19:58
It was a red wedding style defeat, it was a catastrophe.
01:20:01
This wasn't a squeaker, it wasn't of a margin, it wasn't a margin of error race.
01:20:06
She resoundingly lost and we really have to be introspective and realize that we cannot just call Americans racist and bigots and say that that is the reason why Kamala Harris lost.
01:20:16
There are other reasons that we can go into, but you can't just vilify the entire country.
01:20:21
It doesn't work like that.
01:20:22
And that's not conducive to a productive conversation.
01:20:25
And you're going to keep losing if you alienate the voters.
01:20:28
Right.
01:20:29
And this is the time, soon they're going to get into their own and get ready for the midterms.
01:20:33
This is the time where people are being honest and saying what went wrong.
01:20:38
And the thing is, yeah, if they went through a primary process and she emerged, she would have had to have been four times a candidate, she is right now, Shannon, I think it's safe to say she's a terrible candidate, never felt comfortable in unscripted situations,
01:20:50
never had a press conference in 107 days, never used to three and a half years to do anything significant or look ever sure in front of the camera.
01:20:56
I'll give you an example, JD Vance, in a short period of time, he did three hour podcasts, you have other podcasts he did before.
01:21:05
He was able to overcome calling Donald Trump is an evil person, a Hitler type person.
01:21:09
This guy's handling four Sunday shows a day and yours was too easy for him, I think, because you were normal person and you let him finish his questions.
01:21:20
So go ahead.
01:21:21
Yeah.
01:21:22
I mean, he definitely was out there doing the stuff, taking the questions.
01:21:25
And even when the vice president would go to friendly places like the view she got in trouble there.
01:21:31
That was the big question when she was asked what would she do differently than Biden.
01:21:33
She couldn't come up with a single thing.
01:21:35
I mean, that was supposed to be a raw, raw, let's bolster her.
01:21:39
This is going to be easy interview, make her likeable.
01:21:42
And it ended up being one of her worst moments on the campaign trail.
01:21:45
So, you know, it's a strategy to not go to the difficult interviews.
01:21:49
I mean, she finally sat down with Brett and I think people got to look at the fact that it was hard to get to policy details with her in that interview.
01:21:57
So yeah, it is different when you compare it to a JD Vance who almost never said no to an interview.
01:22:02
Because he was sick or exhausted or something was going on, but he was willing to show up in all kinds of places and have difficult conversations where, you know, it seemed Democrats vacillated back and forth.
01:22:11
Is it better for her to do sort of the, you know, basement campaigns, stay away from details?
01:22:16
Oh, no.
01:22:17
Now let's get her and Tim Waltz out there everywhere.
01:22:19
Is it too late?
01:22:20
They should have had tougher practice interviews before this.
01:22:23
It just seemed like, listen, it's tough to mount a presidential campaign in 106 or seven days.
01:22:28
But those are the cards, your adults and, you know, critics of the vice president, even within the party and without just felt like she didn't rise to the occasion.
01:22:36
Is there a sense by your show Sunday will know roughly the balance of power in the house?
01:22:41
Um, remember last time it was December.
01:22:44
I mean, some of these things that even if we get a count, their automatic recounts, it depends on state law.
01:22:48
So we don't know.
01:22:49
I think we'll definitely be closer.
01:22:50
There will be a couple more races.
01:22:52
We probably get called before Sunday.
01:22:53
I don't think we're going to be all the way there, but that's one of the deep dives we're going to do on the remaining races and how they're looking.
01:22:59
Who do you think it about booking a lot of times?
01:23:01
You still don't have everything solidified yet.
01:23:03
What do you think?
01:23:04
Well, we've got Congressman Dean Phillips, who is one of the few people to step up and say, I don't think President Biden should run again and he actually ran against him and picked up some delegates in the primaries, but never really got traction.
01:23:14
I mean, I'm sure he's feeling vindicated, not happy about what happened on Tuesday night, but that he was right to be warning about that.
01:23:19
So we'll talk to him about the Democratic autopsy and we've got Congressman Byron Donald to talk about what does happen?
01:23:26
Listen, if Republicans take the White House Senate and House, there's going to be pressure on to get things done with the border with these tax cuts with all kinds of policies.
01:23:35
What's the plan?
01:23:36
Well, that's great.
01:23:37
We have Joe Manchin, we have Tom Cotton, and we're going to have Douglas Murray.
01:23:45
I don't think I'm going to keep up with any of these intelligence.
01:23:47
I think you'll Tommy Laren.
01:23:48
Tommy Laren.
01:23:49
I heard you talking about this morning.
01:23:50
You got a great lineup.
01:23:51
Good memory.
01:23:52
Uh, yes.
01:23:53
And Tommy Laren's going to break down the media.
01:23:54
You know, the hardest thing is going to be knocking it down to four because I can't get enough of this in that I thought the late night shows will make a few jokes.
01:24:02
Well, I had that wrong.
01:24:03
I mean, Stephen Colbert literally talked to me like I'm Mr.
01:24:06
Rogers.
01:24:07
I know.
01:24:08
We've had a bad day.
01:24:09
Me too.
01:24:10
How do you feel?
01:24:11
It's okay.
01:24:12
I mean, there were people that were losing themselves emotionally, which I understand for normal people.
01:24:16
That's going to happen.
01:24:17
It's really hard for half of the country every two to four years.
01:24:20
But not if you're hosting a late night show, but not if you were hosting a show like being that you have to pull it together, right?
01:24:26
If you're hosting a show.
01:24:27
One thing I do and Eric and Pete know this is I will often, I'll do my weeping between nine and I know six.
01:24:34
So when I leave for the only downtime, you have the entire day is from nine and I know six.
01:24:40
And I cry.
01:24:41
It's going to happen.
01:24:42
I cry my eyes.
01:24:43
You would then shake it off.
01:24:44
You get a red bull and you get back to work.
01:24:45
So I want you to hear the advice that Joe Rogan, the newest endorser and friend of Donald Trump gave and asked me and see if you think the president will take this advice cut seven.
01:24:54
We got a real chance to make real change.
01:24:56
This is like one of the first times ever, where there's a real chance to make real tangible change that's going to be for the good of everybody.
01:25:05
Yeah, he's got to unite people.
01:25:07
He's got to not attack the left and not attack everybody.
01:25:11
Let them all talk.
01:25:12
They're.
01:25:13
But you night.
01:25:14
Now it's time to unite everybody.
01:25:16
What do you think?
01:25:17
And I think that's where Susie Wiles comes in too.
01:25:19
I think she'll have a big influence on where he goes, where he focuses his energy and its legislative policy and all those things.
01:25:24
But I do think he has an opportunity.
01:25:26
And remember in 2016, when he won, it surprised a ton of people.
01:25:30
There were all these calls.
01:25:31
You got to prosecute Hillary Clinton and lock her up and all that kind of stuff.
01:25:34
And he sort of demiried like, you know, that's not going to be a focus for us.
01:25:37
I don't think that's good for the country.
01:25:38
We got other things to do and move on.
01:25:40
So I think he's totally capable of doing things he thinks are good for this country.
01:25:44
And I do think generally, whether you like his policies or not, you spend some time talking to him.
01:25:49
He is about a deep love for this country.
01:25:51
I can't wait to see you want to one with him.
01:25:53
You had a one on one.
01:25:54
I have not recently.
01:25:56
But yeah, I haven't passed.
01:25:57
I mean, why not?
01:25:58
Why can't you be the first interview?
01:25:59
Absolutely.
01:26:00
Let's let's make it happen.
01:26:02
We're working on it.
01:26:03
All right.
01:26:04
You should do that.
01:26:05
I would love to see it.
01:26:06
I'll tell him you said that.
01:26:07
And Janet, great coverage.
01:26:08
You do a great job.
01:26:09
You always so didn't ever rattle, always insightful, bringing us through rough unscripted times.
01:26:15
I didn't cry.
01:26:16
You know, I kept my motions in jack.
01:26:18
I did see you in the green room.
01:26:19
You know what I did get fueled by on election night, which I know you bakery.
01:26:24
There's that one right by Fox in New York and they they're banana pudding.
01:26:27
I decided to eat that for dinner, which maybe wasn't my best choice, but it seemed like a fun election night thing to do.
01:26:33
Well, that was good.
01:26:34
I didn't know anything was open late at night.
01:26:36
Well, I got that before we got started, you know, because we did broadcast coverage 7 PM to 3 AM.
01:26:41
And I thought it's going to be night for sugar.
01:26:42
I don't do caffeine.
01:26:44
So it was a sugar night.
01:26:45
What's your caffeine free?
01:26:46
I'm caffeine free.
01:26:47
Oh my goodness.
01:26:48
You really?
01:26:49
I know you have really.
01:26:50
Really?
01:26:51
And so I feel like you're up at two o'clock in the morning, so I don't expect you to be caffeine free.
01:26:55
Wow.
01:26:56
That is such discipline.
01:26:57
What do you do wrong?
01:26:59
You know, oh, well, you know, there's a lot of swearing.
01:27:02
You heard that.
01:27:03
That is not true.
01:27:05
I've got my own bad habits.
01:27:06
There's a lot of online shopping.
01:27:08
That's probably a lot.
01:27:09
Do you have a Catholic?
01:27:10
I'm not.
01:27:11
I mean, evangelical Christian.
01:27:13
And so I know that I'm a sinner saved by grace.
01:27:16
So I'm thankful for forgiveness every day where I do because I was going to say, Cat, do you do confession where you are?
01:27:21
Well, the way we evangelicals do it is we just pray all the time.
01:27:24
And so we're confessing all the time and I find this the closer I confess to the sin I've committed, then I just get it fixed and move on.
01:27:31
Right.
01:27:32
We do the same.
01:27:33
The Catholic church is confession.
01:27:34
I would love yours televised.
01:27:36
You know what, I don't know that I'd be comfortable with that, but I do think God, there's something about having accountability and going to someone and having that in your life,
01:27:47
whether whatever denomination you are, I think it's good to have, you know, people can help you walk through stuff.
01:27:52
So, yeah, I do a lot of confessing and I sign the sooner the better.
01:27:56
That's how I handle it.
01:27:57
Right.
01:27:58
I don't know how we got into this.
01:27:59
There's a chocolate problem also that I have.
01:28:01
Okay.
01:28:02
Good.
01:28:03
Hey, that's not a sin, though.
01:28:04
No.
01:28:05
It's not a sin, right?
01:28:06
Right.
01:28:07
I'm pretty sure.
01:28:08
Let me read the Bible one more time and find out if it's chocolate.
01:28:09
That's not something you want to do.
01:28:10
It's definitely not a command.
01:28:11
No, no, no.
01:28:12
But, you know, keeping your body clean, trying to live a good life.
01:28:15
I mean, look at you.
01:28:16
You're aging and reverse and you work 20 hours a day.
01:28:18
So, I know you're doing something right.
01:28:20
I have caffeine.
01:28:21
Hey dog.
01:28:22
I rather you find out from me than somebody else.
01:28:23
I like your dog yeast too.
01:28:25
Yes.
01:28:26
Shannon Bream.
01:28:27
We're going to watch Fox News Sunday.
01:28:29
Okay.
01:28:30
Saturday first.
01:28:31
Okay.
01:28:32
Bye.
01:28:33
I'm going to be back in a moment.
01:28:35
Educating, entertaining, enlightening.
01:28:38

01:28:58
You're with Brian Kilmeade.
01:29:00
Hey, I'll get to the phone just a second.
01:29:02
I just want to announce me.
01:29:03

01:29:35
Don't forget Veterans Day.
01:29:36
If you listen to this show, you know, it matters.
01:29:38
Mary Jane, you're in Vernon, Texas.
01:29:40
Mary Jane.
01:29:41
Hello, Brian.
01:29:42
I just love your show and I'll tell you, I'm happy because it's raining here.
01:29:49
We've just, it's been drought and I'm also just over the top with Trump being elected in the way he was.
01:29:56
I think I'm going to get to go down on my blood pressure, man.
01:29:59
So, so Mary Jane, get all that's good news.
01:30:01
Mary Jane, it looks like Texas likes him more now.
01:30:04
How does it text?
01:30:05
This is New York billionaire is liked by Texas.
01:30:08
Why?
01:30:09
Just because he makes sense.
01:30:13
I mean, you've got so many people that are, you know, just the regular common man.
01:30:19
We're out here.
01:30:20
Working, we, and we know we just, he just makes sense to us.
01:30:26
I agree to me too.
01:30:27
Really relate to with billionaire.
01:30:29
I mean, not that way, but you know, we don't, all of these celebrities, we can't relate to that.
01:30:36
I know.
01:30:37
In fact, it's a turn off, isn't it?
01:30:39
Absolutely.
01:30:40
And I'm just watching to see which one leaves first.
01:30:43
Yeah.
01:30:44
We'll see.
01:30:45
I think Rob Reiner can't be happy here now.
01:30:47
I mean, I just can't believe, I mean, they're weeping.
01:30:49
They're actually crying.
01:30:50
Scott, you're in the villages.
01:30:53
Hey, Scott.
01:30:54
Yeah.
01:30:55
Hey, Brian.
01:30:56
So Joe Rogan waited until the day before the election to endorse Trump.
01:31:00
And, you know, so 80 million people had already voted before he even endorsed him.
01:31:06
Elon Musk took over Twitter or acts, if you will, two and a half years ago.
01:31:11
Opened up the ex files, has over 200 million followers.
01:31:14
So every time he would put something out there, 200 million people, probably mostly in United States, it's all bad.
01:31:21
So I think his impact is by far much greater than Joe Rogan, but no argument here.
01:31:29
And not only that, he campaigned for him, and then he got a ground game going.
01:31:33
I called over to the campaign.
01:31:34
I said, I know super PACs are kind of running your ground game, who's the biggest contributor?
01:31:39
And they said Elon Musk and then it was Charlie Kirk's group.
01:31:42
So he jumped in and then he set up a ground game.
01:31:45
I've never seen anything like it.
01:31:46
I mean, he's number one in space, number one in brain chips.
01:31:49
He's building a tunnel company, number one in electric cars, number one with starlink in the sky.
01:31:55
It's.
01:31:56
I mean, is this a joke?
01:31:57
It's like a comic book success.
01:32:00
And now he helped the guy become president and he's going to be doing a lot to make our government more efficient.
01:32:07
I'm optimistic.
01:32:08
Are you?
01:32:09
The talk show that's getting you talking you're with Brian Kilmeade.
01:32:23
I don't take it seriously.
01:32:24
I mean, we've been down this road before.
01:32:26
Hamas's position has been pretty steady, you know, since the last hostage release last year.
01:32:32
Their position has been hard fast that they'll only deal with complete Israeli withdrawal and cessation of all military activities.
01:32:41
That has been their position.
01:32:42
I'm assuming that's the direction they're heading and this is more fig leaf than anything else.
01:32:47
So they talk about Hamas as they want an end to the fighting.
01:32:50
Now that Donald Trump has won the election, what does it actually mean for the people in Israel?
01:32:54
Is it a real overture to end the violence?
01:32:56
Zavika Klein is the editor-in-chief of the Jerusalem Posts, kind enough to come in studio.
01:33:00
Zavika, great to see you.
01:33:01
Hey Brian, how are you?
01:33:02
Hamas's latest posture since the election is.
01:33:05
You know, they've been kind of quiet.
01:33:07
I mean, we kind of, I think first of all, the idea eliminated most of its leadership, right?
01:33:11
So it's kind of, we obviously their social media is still working, but they're not, you know, actively responding very quickly or not.
01:33:20
Are there rockets in Israel still?
01:33:22
From the time.
01:33:23
From Hamas.
01:33:25
From Hamas and from, from, from, from Hisbalah and from Yemen, from, from Iraq, from, even from Jordan.
01:33:34
There was like one time.
01:33:36
Really?
01:33:37
I'm kind of thinking.
01:33:38
How are they able to get rockets?
01:33:39
Well, you guys, because you know, you, you clear, but you don't hold, right?
01:33:42
So you clear, and they'll just reconstitute 100% and it's just like, you know, it's crazy.
01:33:47
I mean, I mean, it's, it's more than a year now of just seven literally, you know, it's not like metaphorics, seven fronts of non-stop attacks against Israel.
01:33:58
It's just, it's just crazy.
01:34:00
But the progress you're making militarily seems to be substantial.
01:34:04
It is substantial, but again, it's seven fronts and there's lots of money that has been invested for years, you know, in Hisbalah and Hamas tunnels,
01:34:15
drone attacks.
01:34:16
And by the way, also drone attacks are semi new to the warfare.
01:34:21
So the, you know, the effectiveness of, of, of, you know, shooting them down is, is, you know, limited, but also, you, the fact that you asked me if we're still being shot at is because of,
01:34:34
you know, the Iron Dome and all these other amazing inventions that are shooting them down.
01:34:38
So a lot less people are being killed, but people are also being killed.
01:34:43
But like we got used to this like situation where we're like, we're shooting them down, but we're still being shot at.
01:34:49
Yeah.
01:34:50
So a run for promises to, they looked at what you did in with your bombing retaliation.
01:34:55
Mm-hmm.
01:34:56
And everyone's like, well, not too bad.
01:34:57
A hundred aircraft, 20 sites, and they looked around and go, well, it is bad to get almost all their missile defense.
01:35:03
Well, I mean, their public reaction, first of all, was nothing happened.
01:35:07
Then it was like, oh, it's only in certain, you know, there was a very slow release of what they say.
01:35:12
And they still haven't really, you know, admitted to, to, to the harm that Israel has, has, has done there.
01:35:19
But that said, you know, Israel has definitely, according to many sources, you know, harm their, their air defense system.
01:35:26
So in a sense, but, and also the entire, you know, the operation in Iran.
01:35:32
And what's about like four hours?
01:35:34
So imagine four hours Israeli Air Force, just to do whatever they want, but, but actually being because of, especially because of the Biden administration,
01:35:45
being very cautious and very focused on specific targets, as opposed to probably what others in these really government would have wanted.
01:35:55
So when the IRGC says we're going to come out and knock your teeth out, what are they talking about?
01:36:00
What are the retaliations, almost something you guys want?
01:36:02
Give me an opportunity to go back again.
01:36:04
They must know that.
01:36:05
They're also psychologically enjoying the fact that Israelis are kind of like on alert and like waiting for this next Iranian attack and are nervous about it or, you know, cautious about it.
01:36:18
That said, you know, they're an extreme group of people and, and I think the things that they say sometimes are kind of like this opposite psychology thing where like, you know,
01:36:29
they actually are afraid.
01:36:30
But they can't in their eyes, you know, in Middle Eastern, whatever.
01:36:34
You want to show that you're strong.
01:36:36
So that's their way of, you know, speaking up, showing their citizens that they're not weak.
01:36:41
So there's no doubt about it.
01:36:43
They just Trump is back in office.
01:36:45
They're still trying with the assassination.
01:36:47
Joe Biden's been holding you guys back.
01:36:48
He's been very critical behind the scenes and concerned about his own electoral future, being critical, being critical at home.
01:36:55
I will just add that yes, but the Biden administration also did assist Israel like they didn't ignore Israel.
01:37:01
You know what I'm saying?
01:37:02
No one ever thought.
01:37:03
You know, presence.
01:37:04
I mean, there's some people that would want, want them to not help, right?
01:37:07
And you know, probably, woke Americans, right?
01:37:11
We're probably not happy about it.
01:37:13
And yeah, she suffered from it.
01:37:14
Yeah, she suffered from it.
01:37:15
Good luck with that.
01:37:16
And we would Trump did, you know, know this probably, but he wanted to meet with the Arab leaders in Michigan.
01:37:21
And he said, look, I don't know for peace.
01:37:23
I'm not looking sort of who you are going to back Israel.
01:37:27
So I'll tell you a lot of Israelis are bit nervous about, you know, Trump, his track record when it comes to the Middle East and Israel is overwhelming,
01:37:38
probably the most and any of other American president has done for Israel.
01:37:43
The question is, is this the same Trump, right?
01:37:47
You know, you know, we spoke up before, you know, we were on air about about the Jewish, you know, people surrounding Trump.
01:37:55
It seemed that in 2016, there were a lot more, you know, visible Jews around him advising happening.
01:38:02
We only named one part.
01:38:03
Well, his son-in-law.
01:38:04
Well, no, but I'm saying he's got Susie Wow, Susie.
01:38:07
Oh, he only named one person.
01:38:08
He has no 100% but the campaign, right?
01:38:11
His kids were involved, but you didn't see Jared and Ivanka, right?
01:38:14
We did see them at the, at the, when he, you know, he finally made his speech.
01:38:19
I think that the, as private citizens, they want to get back to private citizenship young family, too.
01:38:23
Yeah.
01:38:24
Took a lot of criticism.
01:38:25
They weren't, in my opinion, they weren't used to it.
01:38:26
Right.
01:38:27
They were, I mean, pretty much they walked to the best parties with the best, most important people.
01:38:31
Right.
01:38:32
And Jared's family, as well as his, you know that.
01:38:34
And all of a sudden, they were presented on grotto, a lot of, a lot of places and they, you know, they have young kids and they thought, you know, why am I doing this?
01:38:41
Right.
01:38:42
But historically, I mean, you know, this is not a very near, a few, near your history, you know, close history.
01:38:47
They, they did amazing things.
01:38:49
You know, moving the American MSc to, to, to Jerusalem, no other president did it, you know, bipartisan.
01:38:55
That was a thing in a campaign, acknowledging the go on heights.
01:38:59
The Abraham Accords is, I'm telling you, like in Israel, any Israeli or American, you can tell that 10 years ago would be like, come on, what are you talking about?
01:39:07
Right.
01:39:08
You know, so if that continues, that will be amazing.
01:39:11
If the Saudi deal actually will happen, you know, that's amazing.
01:39:16
If, if, if we're able to end this war while Israel is strong, that's amazing, because he, because he wants us to continue this war, I think he kind of wants it to end,
01:39:27
you know?
01:39:27
Well, I, you all do, but you all do, but how it ends, it will actually decide when, when we'll start again.
01:39:34
I don't know for that.
01:39:35
So you have these hostages you want to get out.
01:39:37
Now, if a mosque is really decimated, they'd make it offer to release all the hostages and try to put pressure on Netanyahu to act.
01:39:43
Right.
01:39:44
It's so interesting to see if they're politically savvy enough to be able to work their refs.
01:39:48
Right.
01:39:49
Interestingly, I just saw a report on Israeli news that an official in, in Qatar told the head, the heads of Hamas in Doha that they're no longer,
01:40:00
you know, wanted.
01:40:01
They're no longer happy.
01:40:03
No, go welcome there.
01:40:04
No, no.
01:40:05
Yeah, welcome.
01:40:06
They want Hamas out of Doha, according to this report.
01:40:08
It's a very initial report.
01:40:10
I think it's interesting because there has been, you know, people have been saying, why isn't America saying to them, you know, you want to be our ally?
01:40:19
Get them out.
01:40:20
Well, there's a theory that you guys want somebody to talk to and that you need somebody to talk to in a place that's not in the middle of, in the middle of Gaza.
01:40:30
I'm 100%.
01:40:31
So I'm actually not one of those people.
01:40:33
I was actually in Qatar a few months ago.
01:40:35
I had, you know, I was one of the first Israeli journalists to go meet with the top leadership of Qatar.
01:40:42
And it's a complex situation.
01:40:44
I think diplomacy in general is complicated, right?
01:40:47
You know, are they, are they as, you know, pro-Israel as you are, Brian?
01:40:52
No, but they're, they want to be Western and they want to be acknowledged by the Western world.
01:40:58
And then you want to do business and they want to be safe, right?
01:41:01
Right.
01:41:02
They, they have tough neighbors as well.
01:41:04
So, you know, it's interesting.
01:41:05
Right.
01:41:06
Because they have, they share land with Iran.
01:41:08
Yeah.
01:41:09
And they can't just say, Iran, you know, you're the bad guys in this that's going to be a problem, right?
01:41:13
Right.
01:41:14
Because obviously, Iran will go to any lengths and they don't care about the interest.
01:41:16
And they don't have like an army as, you know, as strong as we do.
01:41:19
So it's, it's, uh, they don't even have, do they have one?
01:41:23
I, well, I met the ambassador in Berlin and he was part of their air force.
01:41:27
So I, I assume there's something, but, right.
01:41:30
Yeah.
01:41:31
So, so we have a situation where the, how was that the pager story?
01:41:36
That is one of the most amazing stories I've ever known about in our life.
01:41:38
I'm sure there'll be movies and books and what I'm, I'm sure the smart people are already, already finishing up those books and movies.
01:41:45
They're taking out of Hania at a guest house to welcome him in the new president in Iran, in Iran, just and just eliminating him.
01:41:53
Nobody else.
01:41:55
The grand diatola crazy.
01:41:56
The grand diatola knows he's net also next and he's basically hiding pops out once in a while.
01:42:01
And he's also sick.
01:42:02
Mm-hmm.
01:42:03
But is it true the Iranian population hates their government?
01:42:05
Or is that too much of a broad statement?
01:42:08
I don't know enough and also I think polling is probably problematic in, in Iran.
01:42:13
Interestingly, there's a small Jewish community in Iran and they speak up whether they need to or they actually believe it against the Zionist state, you know, which is interesting.
01:42:22
Right.
01:42:23
Against you guys.
01:42:24
Yeah.
01:42:25
Self-preservation.
01:42:26
Yeah.
01:42:27
Yeah.
01:42:28
Probably.
01:42:29
Yeah.
01:42:30
So, Dan Yahoo right now is, is his popularity going up?
01:42:31
So his popularity, you know, at the beginning of the war and we spoke at the beginning of the war was very low.
01:42:37
It's higher than I think pretty much ever was because of all these operations, operations, you mentioned, you know, the pages and the elimination of, of, of,
01:42:47
of, of, and that's around a 100%.
01:42:49
That said, now, you know, firing, you know, the minister of defense on the eve of the American election is a big deal.
01:43:01
Many people went out to the streets, a lot of people are frustrated, basically replacing him by someone who has no security qualifications whatsoever.
01:43:14
And you know, I think also those who are more liberal, Galant was kind of the more liberal one in the current Israeli government.
01:43:21
So, you know, they see this as a very, very dramatic moment.
01:43:27
Oh, there's no that about it.
01:43:29
So I look at, you know, the Israeli economy's got a function in order to the finances war.
01:43:34
So how far has that been?
01:43:36
It's, it's dramatic.
01:43:37
Listen, I mean, you have, you have businesses falling apart.
01:43:40
People don't usually notice this like I could say so I'm 41 and I live in a neighborhood where for a long time, most of my friend, my neighbors, we're not home.
01:43:50
For months, half a year, a year on and off in reserve service.
01:43:54
And like these are people who are lawyers, work for the government, high tech, whatever, or, or own little businesses, small businesses and a lot of, a lot of them are collapsing and the amount of money spending on security is just overwhelming.
01:44:08
So there's a, there's a, there's a real problem there.
01:44:10
So I guess that, so you got to get that going and no tourism, right?
01:44:14
No, it's just, you know, it's just here and there.
01:44:17
So we have a situation that's going to drag on, but you get the sense that people are going to make moves before Trump comes in.
01:44:24
What are, what are people telling you?
01:44:26
So interestingly, a number of people I spoke to said, you know, there's like an eight week period now for Israel to, I wouldn't say do whatever it wants,
01:44:37
but Trump is going to want to, you know, Trump doesn't take any, you know, any BS from anyone and he's going to want to kind of get to, to the situation where he can end a war in an effective way.
01:44:49
So if we want to attack Iran, and maybe now, right.
01:44:53
And do you have the weaponry you need?
01:44:56
We?
01:44:57
Of course we do.
01:44:58
To attack Iran.
01:44:59
To attack Iran.
01:45:00
To attack Iran.
01:45:01
You think we do.
01:45:02
We were so easy.
01:45:04
We were so, and listen, I told you four hours and nothing, like they all came back.
01:45:10
All the, all the airplanes came back.
01:45:12
Like, you know, no, there was no, you know, casualties and no one was injured.
01:45:19
That's crazy.
01:45:20
And this is, and this was like a very restraint attack.
01:45:24
So the sense is you might have a window of opportunity, 100% and then I was, it was explained to me that you guys do have enough, what it takes to do some serious damage on the nuclear program.
01:45:34
Some said you didn't, without our help, but our help would be, uh, would actually destroy it.
01:45:39
Right.
01:45:40
And wouldn't that help?
01:45:41
The question is, would, would there be that help?
01:45:43
It's, you know, it's an interesting question.
01:45:44
I don't have an answer for that.
01:45:46
But do you, do you, do you think most of the region will be for getting rid of it?
01:45:50
After all, nobody wants Iran to have it.
01:45:52
Right.
01:45:53
So here's the question.
01:45:54
Do you go all out or do you actually go and like, let's say destroy their oil and then their economy will fall apart?
01:46:02
That's another, you know, voice available.
01:46:04
There's no protection for that oil.
01:46:05
No.
01:46:06
Do you think that I just might not be your area of expertise, but does it affect your oil market?
01:46:10
Uh, affect the world oil market.
01:46:12
If Iran is offline, 100% even though they're not going to capacity.
01:46:15
And the resistance has already has an effect and, and, and, you know, just the fact that the Houthis in, you know, in the Mediterranean or wherever in, you know, in control, a huge amount of,
01:46:26
of, of, of sea area, prices are going up in Europe and in, and Israel and other places because you have to, instead of shipping, you, you, you fly it over, but that's more expensive.
01:46:37
Why is it so hard to neutralize the Houthi rebels?
01:46:41
Um, you guys hit them hard.
01:46:44
We've hit them before.
01:46:45
In case.
01:46:46
But it's very, it's very kind of, I feel like it's going to go.
01:46:52
Yeah.
01:46:53
Here and there type of thing.
01:46:54
I mean, the question is, how many fronts can you actually win effectively?
01:46:58
Right.
01:46:59
But you can't, it doesn't seem like they're the most, you know, I would say, um, the biggest or the most successful terrorist group out there, but they definitely are,
01:47:09
you know, making their, their rounds.
01:47:12
Well, um, but yeah, you guys did, I thought you would viscerated them, but I guess I didn't happen.
01:47:17
Lastly, you, with Hezbollah, the goal was to keep you guys at bay and stop there with the Israel, the, the Iranians from, uh, the stop you from blowing up the Iranians nuclear program.
01:47:28
Uh, Hezbollah said, Hey, we got long-range missiles.
01:47:31
We're going to bring them on, uh, drills at Tel Aviv, you're not going to be able to stop it.
01:47:35
Right.
01:47:36
Well, the word is over the last few months, you've done a heck of a job in eliminating their long-range missiles, which would, you essentially may leave Iran totally naked with their program.
01:47:46
Right.
01:47:47
But this seems to be a very unique window of opportunity.
01:47:48
Yeah.
01:47:49
100%.
01:47:50
I mean, I think the really is a window of opportunity now.
01:47:52
The question is, if what the American administration is going to do or not do, you know, they've been very clear, most of these attacks saying we haven't been involved or we, we knew or we didn't know.
01:48:03
Usually they say we didn't know or we were updated like a second before.
01:48:06
Um, it's a big question.
01:48:08
And I don't know if Biden has the bandwidth for that moment.
01:48:13
It's a big of a client.
01:48:15
Thanks so much.
01:48:16

01:49:17
They believe it was just one guy's idea and the rest followed.
01:49:21
So if you just return on your own, this does not have to be ugly.
01:49:25
That's my message to the monkeys who might be listening.
01:49:27
Residents are strongly advised to keep doors and windows secure close.
