Fox News headquarters in New York City. Always seeking solutions, never sewing division. It's Brian Kilmeade. Hi everyone, so glad you're here. It's going to be a big week, especially right here in New York City. The United Nations located right across town. 150 world leaders are going to be there. Networking will be taking place, but I believe in my lifetime, the institution has never looked more ineffective and irrelevant. And I think the president's going to lay that out in his speech today. We're going to have Dr. Oz on a little bit later because we're talking about... The maybe way of detecting autism and stopping it. A little bit of controversy yesterday in their press conference about what the HHS is putting out there. And also for autistic families, they've got to feel good that they're finally front and center in the spotlight. So we'll talk to Dr. Oz about that. Britt, you'm standing by. Before we get to Britt, let's get to the big three. Number three. The FDA will be updating the label of an existing drug to reflect. potential benefits in reducing some autism symptoms. That is the president's press conference yesterday. We went on for over an hour. Is the end of autism here? Well, it's not clear that from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s big announcement on Monday, how it's roiling the medical community and how it's giving hope to autistic families. Number two. To be a black woman running for president of United States and as a vice presidential running mate, a gay man, with the stakes being so high, it made me very sad, but I also realized it would be a real risk. Okay, sad. Sad how she views America still. Former Vice President Kamala Harris Book Tour begins and the Dems are scrambling to avoid all of her talking points to Biden's health, to her fighting, to other Democratic up-and-comers that she is critical of. You have to wonder if this is all about book sales or is she trying to put wind in the sales for her campaign for 2028, we discuss. Number one. It's emblematic of how feckless the U.N. has become as an organization. It's just a place for once a year, a bunch of people meet and give speeches and write out a bunch of letters and statements, but not a lot of good and important action is happening. So, again, the U.N. has a lot of potential, but it's not living up to it right now. That's the Secretary of State on Fox and Friends about an hour ago. Yep, President descends on, that's with me. President descends on the United Nations for the first time in his second term. The world who once laughed at Trump now clamor for FaceTime. and some quality time and view him as a power broker and a peacemaker. The objectives in the battle to stand up for Israel continue as the U.S. stands virtually alone. Britt, U.M., welcome back.

Thanks, Brian. Good to talk to you. Oh, yeah. I mean, we have so much to discuss. First off in the U.N. today, what do you expect from the president's speech? If they said, hey, Britt, write down a few notes that you hope is included in there. What do you hope's included? Well, I hope he'll say something about the institution, which is not exactly a crisis because it's been so ineffective for so long. It surprises no one to hear that it is still ineffective. But he may have something to say about ways it could be more effective in Luce. But by and large, the president tends to detach himself from these multilateral institutions and go his own way. I don't expect this will be all that different. But, you know, in a way, though, he does relish the relationships between nations. Oh, yeah. That's true. And he cherishes some alliances particularly. And I think he's – as presidents will, he's come to understand that in the area of foreign policy, presidents have – tremendous amount of leeway to act on their own without congressional approval or without court approval or whatever. And so he's gotten interested in it in a way that he may not have been in his first term. A couple of things are going on now. I want you to hear Marco Rubio today about what these other countries are like behind the scenes. And maybe to a degree, even though he's got this foreign policy experience, he didn't fully realize. Cut two. I can only tell you that on both of those issues, on the case of Russia, Ukraine, the only leader in the world that has any chance of bringing it to an end is President Trump, which is why he has put more time and energy into it than anybody else. All of these other countries, including Turkey, by the way, are begging us to be involved. They want us to be involved. Look, these people go out and say what they want to say, but at the end of the day, when they want something done, they want to come to the White House. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is coming to the White House this week to meet with the President. They all come to the White House. They all want to speak to President Trump. President Trump to fix it. So they can say whatever they want to say. The truth of the matter is that we have leaders, we have meetings going on today, that we have leaders begging to be a part of it. They are calling saying, can we be included? Can you bring us in? Can you get me five minutes to shake the president's hand? He is the indispensable leader in the world right now. He is the only one who has any chance of not just brokering a deal to end the war with Russia and Ukraine, but also bringing about the war that's going and getting all the hostages released in Gaza. And I think he's put more time and energy into peace proposals and peace. initiatives than anybody else in the world. And he's had the most success of anybody else in the world. He doesn't get a lot of credit, but let's not forget the DRC and Rwanda had a war going on. Right. And we know he goes through that with us. But he does say people lean on him. But, you know, Britt, I think he... Vladimir Putin's made it easy for the president. There's no gray area. Does he really want an off ramp? Is he really looking at Peter down? He's made it clear. He doesn't want an off ramp. He's ignoring peace overtures. The president went out of his way for Alaska. I give him credit for it. Some don't. But now it's clear with the incursions on NATO nations airspace. And in Poland's case, actually drones hitting the ground and being blown out of the sky. Vladimir Putin is amping it up, not amping it down. What do you think the president should do about it? Well, he has a number of options when it comes to Russian Ukraine, the most conspicuous being the sanctions that he could impose on a Russian economy. He could even get kicked, effectively kick the Russian economy out of the international currency trading, currency exchange system, which would be very damaging. I think nonetheless that...

for all the story he's put by his efforts to bring peace to that conflict. The president still has an odd affinity for Vladimir Putin. And I think he continues to hope that Vladimir Putin wants peace. The president at times has said as much. I think the evidence that you just cited, Brian, suggests that Vladimir Putin thinks he's winning and doesn't want peace. He wants victory. So this is a real test for the president. And the one thing that's, in a sense, encouraging is that he has made so much effort to try to bring peace to that conflict that he can't let it fail. and just walk away from it, because that would go on his copy book as a black mark and failure. So sooner or later, he's going to have to Fisher cut bait on that, and we'll see. Yeah, I just hope we go severe sanctions. But I understand what he means about the China situation. Like, for example, I was talking to Lindsey Graham, and he said, well, hit China with 50% sanctions like he did India. The problem is they've had very sensitive trade negotiations with China up until this point. And this would be something on... international relations and more military, and that would blow up these sensitive negotiations between these two economic superpowers. I understand the president's hesitancy there. I'd go Turkey, Brazil, first. Well, that might make sense, Brian, but I... And I also think that much of the administration's efforts in foreign policy have been based on a proposition that the real threat, the ultimate threat, the one we have to be most concerned about, is the one that comes from China. And this occurs, of course, this is true at the same time that the president has entered into these delicate trade negotiations. So it's a very complicated situation for him to try to balance. And it's not at all clear to me how this is all going to turn out. All right. I will say I just hope the president comes down hard. Here's the benefit. And you have seen this and reported on this in your lifetime with the wall coming down. I think for the first time since the wall came down and Vladimir Putin took over, our European allies, Eastern Europeans get it more than Western, understand they have to build up their own defense. They have to take responsibility. They've got to get the missile defense going. They've got to have their army going. And we could say that every year, and we can complain about it from president to president. But this is the first time they actually fully understand it. And they'll have to buy the military equipment from us. We give up 80% of the military equipment in the world is from us. and then with the maintenance contracts that come with that and the responsibility, that could really benefit this alliance and America. Well, and I think it's important, Brian, because the president deserves a lot of credit, it seems to me, for pushing the European allies to wake up and get serious about their own defense.

Vladimir Putin obviously has a lot to do with that as well. The invasion of Ukraine and the continued war there has been an alarm bell in Europe, and it remains to be seen whether Europe will follow through fully on its promises to elevate its expenditures on defense. But I think there's a greater chance of it happening now than there has been for a very long time, as you suggest. You know what I love? I love the final. Finally, we have an emphasis on Central and South America. And I think they got these, the Sinaloa cartel members that have been captured in Centaurs are become informants. And we're going zeroing in on Venezuela because of that. Now, I love that emphasis because in our hemisphere, Iran, in Brazil, China's got this huge influence. Russia, China, and Iran, huge influence over in Venezuela. I think this has to be addressed. I did not expect the president to do this, but he is. Well, he is. There are serious questions about the constitutionality of the attacks on these drug boats. I don't think anybody watching this would say, you know, We so regret the fact that these boats have been blown out of the water, but there really are questions about whether the president has a legal authority to do what has been done. The effects, though, I think a lot of people will see it's positive. So this 107 days book that Kamala Harris has out. I'm surprised by it. I mean, she really calls out people from someone who took no risks during a campaign in very few interviews. Everything was so measured. She's still debating on whether did you Joe Rogan's podcast, perhaps. But she calls on Gretchen Whitmer. She says, Gretchen Whitmer didn't really help her. She says, I'll believe you'll win, but I need to let the dust settle. Barack Obama saddle up. Michelle and I are supportive, but not going to put our finger on the scale. Nancy Pelosi did back her. Bernie Sanders says, stop. with the abortion, push for working class. Gavin Newsom says, I'm hiking. J.B. Pritzker. Sorry, I'm Governor of Illinois. I'm the convention host. I can't commit. So she talks about people on her side and Joe Biden, when he put on the MAGA hat and when Joe Biden made the comment that Trump voters are garbage really heard her campaign. She lists a lot of this stuff. And my sense is after reading these excerpts, what is her objective, Britt? I can't figure that out either, Brian. I basically believe that the Democrats would not turn to her again. I'd be a surprise if they did. She was the weakest presidential candidate, I can imagine, although if Biden had stayed in the race, he would have been the weakest. But she was not much of an improvement, if an improvement at all. And I think she, and I think her own failings as a candidate, as a politician, and even as a vice president, are what she's dealing trying to deal with here. If I can make a guess at it, because it's hard to figure out. But I think she's trying to...

to shed some of the blame that has attached to her because of her campaign was such a calamitous failure. So she says her status within the administration was always delicate because the outgoing chief of staff always tells the incoming press chief of staff, look out for your vice president because I've gone after him in the past in 2019 on busing in the primary debate. I came into the White House having people make me prove my loyalty. So. Okay. I appreciate that as somebody who likes talking about this stuff and speculating on it. I love it. Just like when you hear the inside story in a locker room when you cover in a team. But I look at that and go, okay, thanks. But you just hurt your relationship with the entire Biden staff, certainly with the former president. So thanks for telling me, but I just don't see how you benefit from something like this. I don't either, frankly. I mean, I think she's... I mean, I think she'll soon be forgotten, and if she wants to run again, I don't think it'll go anywhere. Who do you think on the Democratic side is the most intriguing, the skill set that you think Republicans should take note of? Well, I think right now the frontrunner, unmistakably, is Gavin Newsom. He has some talents. But the California situation is not exactly an advertisement for him as a president. And so he'd have tough sledding. And I think the way he's trying to mock the president and imitate him, imitation is, after all, the sincerest form of flattery, as has long been recognized. So I'm not sure it works very well. But it's early days, and we'll see. But he's always worth keeping an eye on. I know him a little bit. He can be quite charming if he chooses. But he's got some baggage. Right. He's the most inauthentic politician, who's obviously a good-looking guy who fancies himself. He reminds me of somebody playing the role of governor or president if I had to cast a movie show. but he looks so inauthentic. If you just want accomplishments, I'm not saying because they're Republicans, if you just say, well, who's been a good governor and would extend to the president? You look at Glenn Youngkin and you look at Ron DeSantis. They just done very good jobs at their job. But you have Kamala Harris, who wants to forget what bad vice president she is, and you have Gavin Newsom who wants you to forget what a bad governor he was and wants a better job. It seems fundamentally that's not the way America works. You know, it's one more sign, Brian, of the difficulties of Democratic Party faces. No clear leader, no one with a particularly stellar record as governor or whatever other office may be held that you'd look to and say, now there's the emerging figure. Now, it's, you know, we're only, what, some months into the Trump presidency, although at times it feels that so much has happened that it's been going on for much longer than it has. So the party has time. But right now there's no clear leader and no sign of one emerging. Bray, we only had a minute left, but your impression of what you saw on Sunday with that five-hour tribute to Charlie Kirk.

You know, it was interesting to me that it turned out the way it did. There was some concern that it might be, you know, an event where a lot of scores settling would happen. It wasn't. It was more about religion and Christianity than any of heard or seen on that scale, maybe in a lifetime. And I think it's been widely misinterpreted by the people who are critical of it. It was inspiring, and obviously her forgiveness. of the man accused of killing her husband was the most extraordinary moment in politics that i've seen for a long time all in all it was moving but it was so much was said brian over such a long period of time and it went on as you pointed out for hours that i guess people can take away from it whatever they want But I know what I took away from it, and that was a certain inspiration and a certain hope that a Christian revival might even now be possible in America. No violence, very little politics, all positive. It was one of the best, most perfect events that I've ever seen, five hours. I think I'll watch most of it. Britt, thanks so much. Always appreciated.

Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kilmeade. We are back in about 10 minutes. I'm just... Going to be talking about autism and what the, would Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announce yesterday, the president taking the lead on that. But the president said that they got two leads. One, how to treat autism. And number two, one, not to have to make sure your kids not autistic. Both things bring some controversy because it's a traditional, didn't go through, maybe the trials and the rigors that. Maybe others do. But as Dr. Oz just said, and I'm going to follow up on this, he said, yeah, I want more rigorous study. But what we like to do is offer it to people through Medicaid and CHIP, which funds half the kids in America. These are government programs, let alone people in their private insurance, to see if people want to take this drug for kids that are showing signs of autism. Why wait? Why should we just let another generation go on as we continue to study? This is what I fundamentally love about it. It's addressing an issue. It's making everyone focus on it just because so many more people are coming down with it. And I think if you're one of these autism families, even if you say to yourself, wow, this is a little non-traditional. At least the focus is going to bring more scrutiny, hopefully more money, and hopefully closer to solving the problem. Because in America, those numbers are getting way, way too high.

Hear it all on the Brian Kilmeade. We want to take this problem head on. You know, we also released today information about a new label change. We're going to approve a treatment for kids with severe autism that have... an antibody or a deficiency of folic acid in the brain, maybe 20 to 50 or 60% of all the kids with autism have a blocked receptor in their brain that's not allowing their folate, that is their vitamin B9, to get in the brain and for those nerve cells to develop normally. And this medication, leukovorin, bypasses that receptor. And there are incredible stories from doctors have seen dramatic improvement. So we've got good news and we've got this warning. So that is Dr. Martin McCarrie after the announcement of a treatment and announcement of possible cause of autism, which is plaguing this country at its dizzying rate and needs to be addressed. Dr. Memmonaz joins us now. Medicare, Medicaid Services Administrator, extremely busy and right in the middle of this entire process. Dr. Oz, great to have you on. Thank you, Brian. Well, you heard Marty explain it very artfully. The president is passionate about this topic. He's been talking to us about orthism in general for quite a while, in part because he's felt, over the last 20 years, he's seen too many young people get hurt by it, and he doesn't think we've been honest in America about the possible causes. So the idea that we might have a culprit, but we also have a treatment, was very appealing to him, and he wanted to move forward yesterday trying to get the word out. Do you want to move forward? Would that be... your call, too. Oh, for sure. No question. You know. The numbers are stunning. Fivefold increase in autism in the past 25 years. When I do the homework that you have to do in my job and call centers and ask, how long will it take to know for sure if, for example, prescription lukevorin is effective in autism? They say, well, we can probably within five years, get some day. Five years, what about a mom with a three-year-old who, she doesn't interact now with the child, which she can't do because they're autistic, is unable to teach the kid basic skills of life. They're not going to wait five years. If you've got a drug which got a long history of safety, look of Orrin's an old drug, it's a cheap drug, inexpensive drug. And, you know, it's basically a way of bypassing the blockage that Marty said of getting something as important as vitamin B9 into the brain. And if that's really one of the major causes, which it seems to be the case, then we should move forward. Now, we've got a couple hundred kids who've been through trials on this. We've spoken to the centers taking care of the most children. I asked the key question you should always ask your doctor. Would you give this?

prescription medication to your child if they had autism? The answer overwhelmingly is yes. So we're going to give it. Marty change is changing the label. It'll allow state Medicaid programs and chip programs to give it to kids. Just for everyone out there, we cover. insurance for more than half of the kids in America is government insurance, Medicaid and chips. So that will allow the kids most vulnerable to get access to this important medication. Again, a loving president does this. He wants it out there. He wants kids to have the tools. A doctor will prescribe it, and we're going to collect data in order to study how effective it is. So we're going to get real world data. So. When you, okay, first you have the treatment of that drug. So if you're a kid right now at any age, take it. Are you just saying if your kid has autism right now watching us to take that drug? You talk to your doctor, assuming that the autism that you have is, in particular the kind that has some verbal issues with it, which most do. You're a candidate for it. We want your doctor involved in that decision. But yes, I would give it to a child of mine if they had autism in order to give it a shot. Again, it's not a panacea. It's not going to work for every child. But if half the kids get some benefit, some of them quite dramatic, why would you not try it? And more importantly, or equally importantly, we're going to collect data on what's happening. effective it is, we'll know what kids benefit the most, and those will be the ones we'll focus on. All right, so you're going to have people just focusing on the different families that decide to take this drug, and you're going to be creating your own study in real time, right? Exactly. And what can I collect it across the country? So let's go to the Tylenol situation. So the owner of Tylenol says we believe independent sound science clearly shows that taking... Acetamine, I'm pretty sure I said that wrong, does not cause autism. We strongly disagree with any suggestion otherwise and are deeply concerned with the health risk this poses for expected mothers. The facts are that they are over a decade of rigorous research endorsed by medical professionals and global health regulators confirmed there's no credible evidence linking this to autism. We stand with many public health and medical professionals who have reviewed the science and agree. You obviously don't, but what's your response to Tylenol? There's no question. There are quite a few papers and organizations worried about the results of those papers which show that there is a... concern with high dose chronic use of Tylenol during pregnancy and the possibility of autism. And that's why we moved forward yesterday with the press conference and the announcement. Now, again, getting the real data to figure out some of these answers takes years and years. The question you have got to ask yourself is you want the government sharing the signals, the clues that we get through our research when we get them. I think the answer should be yes. We want transparency, radical transparency. To be radically transparent, you take the data you have.

and you share it real time. That's what happened yesterday. There was a major study published by the Harvard School of Public Health, one of the most respected on the planet that pulled together 46 studies on Tylenol, Ustream, pregnancy, and autism. And they concluded without question that although there were some papers that did not find that correlation, there were more that did, and for that reason, they recommended that this be evaluated, and they, the head of that school, sent an extra letter in sharing exactly what we said in that press conference. was mom should be cautious. The message here, Brian, this is important, is not to ban Tylenol. The message is don't overuse Tylenol during pregnancy. Use it as little as possible. We should not be using it for low-grade fevers and small aches and pains thinking that it's so safe it couldn't possibly be a problem. If you have a high fever, a big problem, you've got to talk to your doctor anyway, and your doctor's going to tell you to take Tylenol in that setting because high fevers can be a risk as well. Is acepetamine? I'm pretty sure you say, do you know, acetaminophen? Is that in other pain relievers too? Yes, a cinnamon offense final quite a few items. The classic one is Tylenol. Okay. And so, and that's the main way that it's consumed by moms. And there was a general belief that it's so safe. And by the way, it's really the only medication over-the-counter medication that we prescribe or offer pregnant women for mild aches and pains and fevers. So this is concerning. That's why we're not saying never take it. We're saying don't. Be judicious. Be thoughtful. Be careful. Talk to your doc about it. Take it when you need it. Don't take it more. So here's what Dr. Scott Gottlieb said, who was with the president's first, I think, CDC director. Listen. There's been some small studies showing an improvement in verbal language skills in patients treated who have autism with philinic acid. Certainly worthy of further exploration. I know the FDA is considering some label updates with respect to this. I think it's going to take larger randomized trials to really prove out whether there's a correlation between the drug. So, and the problem with that is, Dr. Oz, you're saying people don't have that type of time. Promise is enough to go ahead with a recommendation. The clinical trials that Scott's absolutely read about need to be done will take years and years to get answers on. They're being funded. We have $50 million that we're allocating, and Jay has awarded 13 groups that money to pursue this. However, I asked the key question. I called personally. to these major centers. Would you, as your center expert on autism, give your child the leucovorin, prescription lukevoren, if they had autism? And overwhelmingly, they said yes.

So I'm telling you the inside story of what doctors know. Normal governments often hide this because they want to be super cautious. The president is a brave man. He wasn't willing to wait. He was adamant that we get out in front and tell the American people so you can decide. Now, you can do your homework if your child has autism. So I guess one of the risks would be if something goes wrong if you take this, then the government gets sued. That's what you're talking about, right? So there's some liability there. And you're going to change the labels on Tylenol immediately? So that's Marty's decision. I believe his intent is to add a cautionary note to the Tano label. For me, the more important one is the prescription lukevoren, because if Marty changes the label, which he will do within a week or two or three, he's already started that process, then we're going to, that will allow state Medicaid programs to pay for it. That way, children who are vulnerable, and remember, we cover 53% of kids. So most kids in America will now have access to this medication. as long as the doctor prescribes it for the child. It opens up a huge opportunity for families who have an autistic child. It gives them hope. It gives them a chance to go at this full speed, the way people who know about Luca Vaughan have been doing now for several years. So autism prevalence in the U.S. 1 in 31 children born in 2014 are diagnosed with autism, five times higher than the CDC began tracking in 2000. And now one in 20 boys are affected. That's 5%. California with the highest at one in 12%. Is this an American increase or is this a world increase? We're seeing it in many parts of the world. And just to put a fine line on those numbers, a five-fold increase in a disease over 25 years is not genetics, right? The human genome doesn't change in 25 years like that. So there is something in the environment that is leading to autism. Talk to the family's autistic kids. They have lots of ideas. Autistic kids, as often as said, you've seen one, you've seen one. They're all different from each other. But there's something else out there in the environment. We are aggressively seeking answers. When we find them, we will share them. This is the first of several. updates that you should expect to get during the president's term. He highlighted yesterday, that's his intent. As we find that the clues, we're going to share them with people. They have other promising leads. They could be things with how the gut bacteria prosper. It could be toxins in the environment and how they affect the kids. Lots more to come. But you've got the first two important clues, the building blocks, of building trust in America in science. Dr. Eyes. First off, when I hear a disease is prevalent, that's bad, but it's good for research money because it affects a lot of people. Is there a lot of money in autism research did you find when you took this job? And if not, why?

There's not enough money in autism. Research is changing. The president gave us $50 million more dollars that Jay has already, from day one, was out there looking for people to support. Jay Badacharya from NIH, 250 grant applications came in. He awarded 13. So now it's up and running and moving at its pace that it should be. You ask an important question. Why hasn't this been adequately funded? I think there's been a fair amount of gaslighting of parents. They say there has been. They're told, oh, it's in your head. We're just, we're measuring it differently. These kids were always, that's one question that came up in the press conference. These kids have been out there forever. We just never kept track of them. To which. All of us who are over age 50 say, well, where are they? Like, where are those kids? I didn't grow up with autistic kids. Bobby's 70 years old. He says they didn't even know of a kid who was autistic. So obviously there's been a change because if we don't know any autistic kids in our lives, and now everyone is the autistic kid in their life, there's a difference. Our environment, the world around this has been different. And we think the autism issue could be helped dramatically by looking at some of the nutritional deficits that might be happening. because of autoimmune problems that have been created in the modern world. Kids are the canaries in the coal mine. If there's an autoimmune issue out there, it's going to hit a kid. And that's one of the reasons that this look of war is promising because the autoimmune conditions block the brain's ability to absorb vital elements like vitamin B9. And if you don't have those in the brain, the brain cannot evolve. It cannot develop. And it would start to show itself in its early years, which is why we start to see autism in ages. two, three, four. So, Dr. Oz, you have these years as a medical professional. And you sit down and you're in a meeting and you hear things. And even though you're on the HHS team, Dr. Oz, the doctor, not on board. How do you handle that? If that has happened yet, when you start hearing different things and different policies and you're thinking, I really can't back that, whether it's medical research or whether it's a program. How do you be on the team, but yet speak your mind? Brian, we're a very, very open group of people. As Bobby has said many times, we're all renegates. I got canceled during COVID for saying things that weren't popular to be heard at the time now turned out to be true. Marty, same thing. FDA, J, same thing. God knows, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s been attacked. So we are like family. We speak very openly, very bluntly to each other, but we wash our laundry in private. I must say I'm pretty aggressive as a physician. I want to give my patients the choice to they decide. I don't patronize them by, you know, or be to do paternalistic, rather, by holding back on evidence that they should know about. And frankly, the president is as aggressive as anybody. He's a brave man. He said he did not take this job to hold back. He wants to go full speed on autism. He thinks it's an indictment of how we take care of our children. But Dr. As I know, we're up against a break. Real quick. So I think you guys fundamentally want to change something. Rather than wait for every study to be the, every dot to be dot and every T to be crossed, your feeling is if we're getting there and there's positive signs, what are we waiting for? There's lives in the balance.

And you want to change the way things are done there in HHS, period, correct? It's too slow for lives that are moving so fast. Beautifully stated, and we have silos here that block within any government, the different agencies. who should be working together and building a safety net for the American people to do just that. If I'm doing my little thing and never talking to FDA, and NIH is discovering things, they don't tell FDA about it, no one benefits. In this administration, the president busted those silos. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. does not take prisoners on these issues. He is adamant. I don't want any infighting. I want you guys to get along, fix these problems, and I certainly don't want to have internal barriers slow down progress for the American people. Failure is not an option, Brian. This is a catastrophe. for us. Right. And hopefully we can change people's quality of life and lengthen their life in the process. He's the Administrative Medicare and Medicaid Services. Dr. Oz, thanks so much. We appreciate it. God bless you, Brian. Take care. You got it. I'm going to take some calls in just a moment. I took up a lot of time, though. 1866408-7669. Don't move.

The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmeade. Hey, we are back. Just a quick note, the President of the United States has arrived at the UN General Assembly. Speaking right now, President Alula, an embarrassment. He was in prison for corruption, but somehow he got out. And he is a leader in a corrupt election over in Brazil. He's speaking now. President has put huge sanctions on him for what he's doing to his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro. with a ridiculous series of charges that could lead to his arrest and going ultimately into jail. So the president says you do that. You're going to poison relations forever. So we'll talk about that, the president's speech and so much more. We're also looking at the details of this cyber attack. Get this. And it's hard to get my head around how big this is. But the Secret Service since the spring got word of a possible massive... It's a cyber attack, a telecommunications threat. So get this U.S. service dismantle this network, mostly located in and around within 35 miles of the U.N. that had SIM servers, 100,000 SIM cards. They were going to be able to... simultaneously text message 12 million people and overwhelm a system that would not be able to respond to 911 calls or communicate at all. It would also take down cell towers. How the Secret Service got a hold of this with their advanced threat interdiction unit. They need to be saluted. I don't have other further details. But when you talk about a sophisticated would be hit like this, you've got to come down to just a handful of countries. It's got to be China. It's got to be Russia. It's got to be Iran. North Korea. There's no other unsavory actor, now combined, by the way, that would want to do something like this. And where it is early, they're looking to China. And nothing happens in China. You know, Russia always says, you know, I can't control my big country. China will never say that because they can't control everything and everybody knows it. Quick note, coming up, wow, in a matter of five days, we're going to be in Richmond, Virginia, at a beautiful theater, right in Richmond. I want to be there. I want everybody tuning in at 7 o'clock on Fox Nation, but most importantly, come down and get tickets. Go to Brian Kilmeade.com. It's history, liberty, and laughs. We're going to bring history to life and push back on the war on history as we are on the precipice of celebrating Year 250. You listen to Brian Kilmeade. Keep in mind, we're here every single day. but also watch Fox and Friends over the Fox and Friends every single day Monday through Friday and One Nation Saturday nights at 10 o'clock. Breaking news all over the United Nations. The president's speech coming up will have a preview review. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian Kilmeade. Hi, everyone. So glad you're here. I come to you from 48th and 6th in Midtown Manhattan. Where, if you enter a car, just put it in park. You're not going to get anywhere because 150 world leaders and all their security has landed and descended in New York. And I just saw this video of Emmanuel Macron.

The president of France in the traffic, he's stopped. And he calls up President Trump and says, I can't get to the U.N. building because of you. They stop traffic because you're there. Well, the president and I missed good news, Mr. Emmanuel Macron. The president is now in the building. He's going to be set to speak. The Brazilian leader is speaking right now. something dictatorial that maybe China wrote for him. So before we get to my first guest, to Rachel Campos Duffy, and we bring you the latest preview on the president's speech because we talked to Marco Rubio about that and my morning show Fox and Friends. Mike Allen a little bit later, simulcast with Stuart Varney. Let's get to the big three. Number three. The FDA will be updating the label of an existing drug to reflect potential benefits in reducing some autism symptoms. That's the President of the United States, abruptly cut off in a press conference, but did go on forever. This is big news. Is the end of autism here? Well, it's not clear from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s big announcement on Monday, but it's roiling the medical community because it's unorthodox with they're rolling out. One thing I know for sure, autism families have some hope that attention's finally being paid in a big way. Number two. To be a black woman running for president of the United States and as a vice presidential running mate, a gay man, with the stakes being so high, it made me very sad, but I also realized it would be a real risk. She is so obsessed. The whole party is with sex, gender, sexuality, enough. But that's what the vice president feels. It's in her new book, and the tour begins. And Dems are scrambling to avoid all her talking points to Biden's health, to fighting for her own performance, to her taking on other would-be stand-out Democrats. You have to wonder. If this is all about the book sales, or is this about putting wind in her sales for 28? We'll discuss. Number one. It's emblematic of how feckless the UN has become as an organization. It's just a place where once a year a bunch of people meet and give speeches and write out a bunch of letters and statements, but not a lot of good and important action is happening. So, again, the UN has a lot of potential, but it's not living up to it right now. It is not. And the secretary of stay with us today. I'm going to hear more from him. The president descends on the UN. We're going to preview his speech. It's going to start. He stepped up to the microphone just now. So we'll bring you some of those highlights as they happen. But I want you to hear what Marco Rubio said. He kind of tipped us off. And by the way, how many big speeches is the president going to give? He just addressed 70,000 people in a stadium two days ago. Here is Marco Rubio, cut two. I can only tell you that on both of those issues, on the case of Russia, Ukraine, the only leader in the world that has any chance of bringing it to an end is President Trump, which is why he has put more time and energy into it than anybody else. All of these other countries, including Turkey, by the way, are begging us to be involved. They want us to be involved. Look, these people go out and say what they want to say, but at the end of the day, when they want something done, they want to come to the White House. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is coming to the White House this week to meet with the President. They all come to the White House. They all want to speak to President Trump.

want President Trump to fix it. So they can say whatever they want to say. The truth of the matter is that we have leaders, we have meetings going on today that we have leaders begging to be a part of it. They are calling saying, can we be included? Can you bring us in? Can you get me five minutes to shake the president's hand? He is the indispensable leader in the world right now. He is the only one who has any chance of not just brokering a deal to end the war with Russia and Ukraine, but also bringing about the war that's going and getting all the hostages released in Gaza. And I think he's put more time and energy into peace proposals and... peace initiatives than anybody else in the world. And he's had the most success of anybody else in the world. And the president of the secretary of state as usual on his game. The president's going to be meeting one-on-one with Ukraine leader, Argentinian leader, the European Union, probably all individual and collective, multilateral with Qatar. Of course, they're a little aggravated because of the attack on Hamas in their territory. So that'll be on top of the agenda. Melania Trump is also there, enter the building with the President of the United States. She's going to be given a speech talking about fostering our future. It's the initiative of how to weave AI responsibly in with our kids. So Rachel Campos Duffy is here. Rachel, you and I can identify with this. The president walked up and first thing I'm reading the closed caption, the teleprompter doesn't work. And he said, do you believe this? teleprompter doesn't work? Good thing I can speak off the cuff. And, you know, you have the United Nations funding this. And that's why he's reading right now. Your thoughts. Yeah, no, no, we're funding that. So where's our money? By the way, we haven't paid like billions of dollars in bills. He's just not paying. Oh, good. Maybe that's why the teleprompter's not working. I love that Mike Waltz is there, though, right? Yeah, we got, we finally have that, that confirmation over with. And there's a lot of other people that are stalled, by the way. nominations that haven't made it through the system. You got about 50 through, but you got another 100 at least. So was it good to see me? You know, they told me I had to sit close to you. Right. They said take the seat closest to Bryant. Well, no, they just said that's what normal guests speak and you're a normal guest. Yes, I'm a normal guest. It's been great having you on the weekend. You filled in last weekend. Right. And that was awesome. Right. Do you think I was awesome? Or you think just having me there was awesome. Happy you, that was awesome. Okay. I love you. Congratulations. Your team is together now. Yeah, it's official. It's Griffey. Well, great job over the weekend. What was it like being on the road for Tuesday? No, no, it's just Sunday. Yeah, we just, we did Saturday in studio, and then we flew out, and we did the show, which is really early, if you're doing it on West Coast time. But it was great. I mean, listen, it was an incredible event, a historic event, a spiritual revival. No doubt is happening. You stayed for it? I did. I stayed because they had the cabinet secretaries. All stay and I saw Sean there I was there to you saw Sean but you didn't see me I was standing right next to him Really? Are you sitting right next to him? I was sitting right next to him That disembarrassing I apologize I would have pointed you out Well, I'm so short, you didn't notice. Well, no, I wouldn't say that. You're tall enough. But I thought it was one of the best events. I think it was perfect. I just, you know, it was one of the things you walk right, you go, that was perfect. Five hours. And how did they do that, Brian, in six days? I mean, as they said, it takes six months to plan an event like this. It was incredible.

Not one thing went wrong. And I'm not even just talking about no violence. I mean, no violence. Everything was great. But there was no, not even trash. It was, it was the most beautiful event. So we have two things that are going on right now, and the President of the United States got to address them. You have Russia and the Gaza situation where you have these other nations recognizing a Palestinian state. The problem is there's no Palestinian government, and what you're doing, and Hamas said this, this is the fruits of our January, excuse me, October 7th attack. The fruits of massacring 1,200 people, France, according to Marco Rubio, and I think it's 100% true. They are trying to placate their immigrants that have flooded into their society in the UK, France, Portugal, and they want their votes. So to do that, they got to alienate the only democracy in the Middle East. Well, look, I lived in Europe when, you know, they're... before a lot of this mass immigration, I've been there and have family there. And there's always been a lot of sympathy for the Palestinian people and their displacement. So I mean, is there more political pressure now that there are a huge number of voters who have that sympathy? Yeah, probably. But there's always been outside of the United States, a lot of sympathy for the Palestinian people. And the desire for a two-state solution, which I am one of those people that still believes. I mean, you may call me naive, Brian, but I believe in a two-state solution. And I believe in peace, and I believe that they both have, you know, I believe Israel, you know, the decision was made. They have a right to live there. But the Palestinians have a right to live there as well. The problem is. Now, Hamas is a horrible problem, and they can't have Hamas leading their government. That is clear. And the Palestinian Authority became billionaires using the money from Yasser Arafat to today that the world. the world is given for aid. They build tunnels and make give themselves big houses around the world. So it's hard to fathom this type of corruption. But just remember in Ukraine, there's a lot of people in Ukraine now who have, you know, villas on the coast of Spain and Greece from our money being sent over there as well. So corruption is, of course there are. Absolutely not. Oh my God. Oh my gosh, Brian. I'm going to send you the videos that people know that's absolutely true. Ukraine is the most corrupt country in the world. And of course our money has been spent. We have no accounting of it. There's been no transparency. So I get that you really like this, you know, you really want Ukraine to come out ahead in this. And I respect that. But let's not pretend like there's not. Of course, I think they were invaded and I think it was wrong. But I also think that they were. There were things that our government did and said that encouraged that incursion. And I think that's really regretful. And now we're in a situation where you have, you know, 7,000 kids dying a week. I mean, it's gruesome. It's a meat grinder. And they're dying in the most horrific ways, Brian. They're dying by drones like it's a video game. It's horrible. And I've seen those videos too.

They're devastating. We've got to end that war. We've got to end both these wars. Right, but it's really Russia's decision. And unfortunately, they're making the president look bad. And right now, we look extremely weak unless we could marshal some type of collective effort. I love what Poland just said. Poland said, I hope Russia's been warned, next time you preach our airspace, we're shooting down your planes and don't whine about it. Right. So Estonia, who interviewed the head of Kosovo today, there's a real fear that they're going to try to reestablish the Soviet Union. We're going to be back to Cold War II. I don't know how they're going to be able to do that since they're wrestling with Ukraine. Do you believe that Ukraine should not be part of NATO? But that's an existential threat to Russia, and so that's not going to... Yeah, I don't think that's any problem. I think that's pretty much agreed. Yeah. Yeah. But you do agree that there were hints and conversations had and statements made and statements made it seem like they were going to allow them in. I mean, I remember, I think it was Kamala Harris went to the... George Bush. Yeah, they all kind of said it. And there were people like Mearsheimer that were saying, if you do that, you're going to get, you're going to get the Russians mad and the Russians are going to think it's an existential threat and they're going to have to do something. But NATO can never be a threat to Russia because NATO is a defensive organization that has no offensive capabilities. They have defensive capabilities, one attacked, and if they go to war, of course. They'll have coordinated efforts in individual ways of being protective. But NATO's not a threat. The threat of freedom on their doorstep is what Russia fears. I guess I look at it. Like, how would I feel if the Chinese set up, you know, if the China had something equivalent to NATO with Mexico, I wouldn't like it. And so I guess I just want peace. And let's figure out how to make that happen. And, you know, now I don't see how. this is going to get resolved without, unfortunately, Ukraine, losing some land because they just have been losing. Oh, well, they're going to lose some land. They're not going to get the land back that they lost. No. But if the border stop here, you know, Volodymyr Zelensky politically can't say, okay, we're just going to stop here. But he's going to agree to that. And there's certain areas that they've taken back already. But having said that, then that country gets secure. We don't have this problem every three years. Yeah. Because we had a problem. Seven years ago, five years ago, four years ago. So it is everything, we never get it settled. They sign agreements. Russia breaks the agreement. And then they go back to war again. And so I think we've got to get this thing settled. What bothers me most because I like the president is that he put his personal word on it. Listen, let me deal with Vladimir Putin. And Vladimir Putin knows he took great political risk in doing this. So even though he's a dictator and I get it, I always thought to himself, listen, it would be great to have somebody in the White House that I could talk to. Yeah. He's making it so President Trump has no relationship. He knows the minute heavy sanctions go on, the talk stop. And I'm saying to myself, even if you have that survival instinct of a dictator, you'd say, why am I alienating Trump?

The next guy, the next woman is never going to be as open to my suggestions. And what he's doing is making the president look bad after Alaska. And that bothers me as an American and as somebody who wants to see Trump being successful. I guess I don't think the president looks bad. I think the president looks like somebody who's been trying with greater effort than anybody ever has at bringing about peace. I mean, ultimately, each country is responsible for their own country and they have their own needs and their own, you know, their own interests. And so the president, you know, extended the olive branch is trying to make it happen. But there's also things on the battlefield that are happening that are changing things as well. So I don't understand at all. I do believe that President Trump. is trying really hard. One of the great things... He's a peacemaker. The one thing I love, and he's got to rattle the cages in order to get peace, and that's what's happening in Central and South America. And Maduro reached out and shows how desperate he is and says, I want to meet with the president when he's in town. The president's not going to meet with him. Of course not. He's an illegitimate... How real is this story? that some of the higher-ups in the Sinaloa cartels have been arrested, moved over here, and have become informants, giving us information on how exactly this drug's being trafficked, and it's led to the explosion of these boats leaving off the coast of Venezuela. I wouldn't doubt it at all. I mean, it's interesting. We're seeing just more and more pressure being put on him. He comes on TV, Maduro does every day. He has this propaganda TV station, government TV station, which, by the way, in Mexico, they believe that the Mexican president is funding that television station, which is interesting as well. But, yeah, I mean, he's there. He's getting a lot of pressure because the money is getting cut off. The oil money, he doesn't have the same oil money. He doesn't have the drug money coming in. And so he's getting more and more pressure. And I think the hope that Marco Rubio and also Pete Hegseth and the president have is that this will end peacefully, that he'll just get so isolated because they're putting pressure on Mexico and saying, you better not be involved in this. So if he gets more and more isolated and he gets poorer and poorer, he might go, I better take the billions that I have or millions that I have. and just go to Turkey, you know, get moved somewhere else. Or run. I hear they're hiring. Wherever. Let's hope that happens. The president of the United States just pointed out when he was a developer. He offered to fix up and refurbish the UN. They turned him down. Instead of marble, they went with plastic. He is not forgetting. Back in a moment. Giving you everything you need to know. You're with Brian Kilmeade.

The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmeade. And I don't mind making the speech without a teleprompter because the teleprompter is not working. I feel very happy to be up here with you, nevertheless. And that way you speak more from the heart. I can only say that whoever's operating this teleprompter is in big trouble. So the president having some fun to start. Rachel Campos Duffy, I want to make sure we only have a couple of minutes. Who's on Noticius today? What should we know? How do we get it? So you can get it. You can go to Fox DePortes. We're also on YouTube a lot. We're probably getting more people coming to us via YouTube. But we're doing everything. I mean, we're covering the latest on Venezuela. We're covering immigration. We have... A woman who worked for Turning Point since 2016 in Arizona who knows Charlie Kirk. She's going to be on today to talk about how much Turning Point has done to help Hispanic. She was doing door to door and phone work for Charlie Kirk. But just what a great guy is, how interpersonal he was and worked with his employees and talked to them and mentored them. So that's interesting. And, you know, every day there's something new. Right. In Spanish, Central and South America, and it's hard to believe that you speak a whole other language. Did you know that? I did. I did know that. I did know it. You know what they say about people who are bilingual? What? Less chance of dementia, which kind of makes sense, doesn't it? Really? Using your brain, using all parts of your brains. Then I stopped using my brain in 11th grade. Because I was taking German. Yeah. And it didn't really stick. Why did you choose German? It's not that useful. My dad was stationed there in the Army, and he thought that Germany was going to really be a big language. Until Angela Merkel came. Thanks, Angela. She was a genius. All right, so we're going to be monitoring the president's speech. He's actually talking about Israel, the need to support. And now he's going into the Ukraine war. We're going to talk about what he's going to do because we need some action, Rachel. Thanks so much. I love that we can have this. This is what Charlie would want. Two people with very different opinions about war and peace. Prove me wrong. I love it. Love you. He's so busy. He'll make your headspin. It's Brian Kilmeade. President of the United States now talking about being very tough on Ukraine. Excuse me, tough on Russia. It has to do with Ukraine. Of course, saying allies stop buying energy, but we'll talk about how we're going to clamp down against Russia. So that's pretty strong. That's encouraging. In my view, maybe not yours, but in my view, it absolutely affects American foreign policy. If we lose Ukraine, think about this. We'll have probably the second most powerful army in Europe. That's how good they are in the hands of the Russians. Is that what you want? I mean, think about that. How does that benefit America or NATO? That's more money to other NATO nations to counteract and emboldened Russia, who says, I can evade a country, I can take a country, and NATO does nothing. Yeah, they supply arms, killed thousands of our people, but a million of our people, but it's not going to matter. That's what matters. The president's also talking about immigration now and how it changes the countries. And he said, I went to London and have that mayor there. They're going to look to put Sharia law. It's in certain places. You know what? He's right.

and has changed the way, changed the foreign policy of France and England, you could say. Michael Allen joins us now, former Special Assistant to the President, former NSC Senior Director, and former White House Intelligence Staff Director. Michael, welcome back. Hey, thanks for having me. Michael, first off, President of the United States speak, I don't know if you're listening at all. Promptor was down initially, but he's out laying out the lay of the land. He's viewed much differently now from then 2017. Can you explain? Yeah, sure. I mean, now he is an expert in the job. He has experience. He's been there for some time. He uniquely in American history had a middle four years to plan out what he would do if he were to win the presidency again. And of course, now that he's done it, he's been quite aggressive. We know now more about his foreign policy. He's not an isolationist. He wants the United States to play a leading role. everywhere in the world. That's why he's, of course, talking about the Middle East. That's why he's talking about what Russia needs to do to get together with Ukraine. And ultimately, I think he'll talk about Asia as well. And he's a very active president. And he wants the United States to be a world leader. Well, would you, I mean, right now, Vladimir Putin's making him look bad. The president could put an olive branch to great political risk in doing it. But since Alaska, he's only picked up the pace. He's actually aiming at civilian targets days after Melania Trump gives a letter to Vladimir Putin saying, what about returning the children you kidnapped? He wants and two days later, he hits a kindergarten in Ukraine. I mean, what would be the correct response, collective response that you would like to see here and now? And I don't fault the president for trying to. restart these talks at all. But Vladimir Putin's making it easy to understand there's no gray area. He wants to keep fighting. You're right. Listen, I don't fault the president either, but I think the truth is something that we just have to look at, which is that Vladimir Putin does not want peace. He sees Ukraine's westward orientation as a threat to Russia. By the way, it's not, but he sees it that way, and he's not going to stop. He's not going to give up. Vladimir Putin is disrespecting the United States. I think... President Trump realizes that. That's why he's beginning to talk more about sanctions. He seems like he wants the Europeans to step up more before he does. He wants to keep leverage over the Europeans. But that's what I think he would do if we're getting very serious about trying to condition Vladimir Putin to come to the table in a real way to make concessions. So sanctions and keep the arms going because that's the only way you can give Vladimir Putin's attention. What about changing tactics? We watched a breach of the borders of Romania, of Poland, of Estonia, and we heard drones went into Denmark today. And that didn't hit anything, but they went into their airspace. Poland has come out with a statement. I'll paraphrase. Russia should know. The next time they breach our airspace, their fighter jets will be shot down. Don't whine about it. I mean, that's a tough muscular stance. I think we all have to have. And they got to do it.

Vladimir Putin is a thug, and he only understands force. What's a responsible way, Michael, to handle this? Well, I do think that we need to get together as an alliance and be very clear with Russia that if you continue to impinge upon our airspace, you are going to get a serious response from NATO. We're not looking for a war. We don't want... But what's serious? Michael, what's serious? What's a serious response? Oh, it may well be, it may well be shooting down or threatening to shoot down some of these planes unless they immediately exit NATO airspace. Because if we don't, then it looks like our alliance is not real. It looks like it is just a paper tiger. And that defeats the whole purpose. And you have it right. Vladimir Putin needs to believe that we are tough. He needs to believe that we'll fight for all of these NATO countries. And if we won't or if it looks like we're not interested in doing so, he's going to continue to pressure us and pressure us. And we'll never get the upper hand back on Russia. By the way, we don't even... won any of these problems with Russia. The United States has other fish to fry around the world. It's Vladimir Putin who doesn't want to get along with us, if you will. He's the one that keeps dragging us back into this, but we have to be forceful in our response. But guess who benefits? I don't have to tell you, Michael Allen, but who benefits if we're hunkered down and focusing on Europe? Well, it's... China. China to some degree. But I also believe that China needs to see that the United States can stick to something. They want to be able to see that we are able to succeed in helping our allies in Europe. And then that'll help us in Asia because then China will then conclude, well, you know what? The United States is not a paper tiger. They stand by their allies just like they always said they would. And that'll make him think twice. about invading Taiwan, which would be a calamity for the global economy and our economic prosperity. So I do think it begins with Ukraine. By the way, I'm glad that the Europeans are standing up. I'm glad they're paying for more arms. But the United States just can't do nothing now. It's going to take a little while for the Europeans to stand up. And while Donald Trump doesn't want to own a Vietnam, a escalating conflict. in ukraine at the same time he doesn't want to preside over in afghanistan either where the russians sack kev so that's why we have to stay involved so we know uh we have more nations friendly nations uk australia canada france portugal all acknowledging uh now saying that they recognize a palestinian state it doesn't mean it's going to happen here's the prime minister of israel cut six You are giving a huge reward to terrorism. And I have another message for you. It will not happen. A Palestinian state will not be established west of the Jim Jordan River. For years, I have prevented the establishment of this terrorist state, despite tremendous pressure, both domestically and internationally. We did this with determination, and we did it with diplomatic wisdom.

So it's not going to happen, but this does complicate things. Now you have a Palestinian nation that we're going to have to deal with in the eyes of many and that the Israelis are going to have to deal with. And foolheartedly, they say that Hamas is not part, and is not in the West Bank. They are in the West Bank. They don't really map out territories and a capital and a leader. So why do this? Oh, it's for PR and it's for outraged European publics. They're progressives, if you will, who are upset with the Israelis. Look, I agree with the Israelis. This rewards terrorism. But what it really does is that it underscores the fecklessness of all of these nations who are doing this. For them, as you say, to quote unquote recognize a Palestinian state, one without borders, without a leader. without any governance, no bureaucracies to try and run things, just underscores that this is a symbolic PR exercise. I don't doubt that they need to do something maybe to calm down their public, but at the same time, this is not a serious piece of policy advancement on behalf of all these countries are doing right now. So. Would you be interested in this offer from Hamas? Listen to a Trey Yinks reported yesterday exclusively. Cut four. Fox News has learned from a senior Trump administration official and a second source directly involved in the negotiations that Hamas has drafted a personal letter to President Trump asking him to guarantee a 60-day pause in the fighting in exchange for immediately releasing half of the hostages being held. And he goes on. He says the letter, it bypasses Benjamin Netanyahu, goes right to Trump. What do you think Trump should do? Well, I don't love that Hamas is coming directly to us. I don't like the United States negotiating with a terrorist entity. At the same time, I'm really wondering what Benjamin Netanyahu's ultimate plan is. I'm a little surprised two years into this that they are, the IDF, are reinvating Gaza City. I don't, and I'm an Israeli supporter, don't fully understand what Benjamin Netanyahu's end game is. And so I think it's wise for President Trump to put a little bit of pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu, make him articulate. just where he thinks he's going with this. I don't believe we're going to end up with the two-state solution, by the way. But I am interested in where this is going. When do we get to the phase that Trump wants to get to, which is to rehabilitate and revamp the Gaza Strip to make it a livable piece of land? And so I'm a little bit interested in some of this pushback. And they're going to meet this week, maybe tomorrow. Michael Allen, always great. Thanks so much.

When we come back, we do a simulcast on FBN, then squeeze in some of your calls, and we'll track the latest at the UN. Don't move. Brian Kilmeade. Giving you everything you need to know. You're with Brian Kilmeade. Brian Kilmeade joins Fox Businesses Farney and company with Stuart Varney, live on your radio and on Fox Business. Here's Brian Kilmeade. Nothing satisfies me more than the President of the United States telling the world exactly how he feels about green energy. It's a big scam. Big scam. Used to be global warming. When the globe stopped getting warming, you changes the climate change. So whatever the hell happens, you could say I'm right. And then he says, you let all these people in that don't belong in your country. You're going to fail. You countries are going to fail. Enough with the windmills, drill in the North Sea. So all this stuff that... People were afraid to say the president is winging it. He hasn't looked at the teleprompter in quite some time once they finally got it working. So I'll wait to do a simulcast with Stuart Varney. I'll wait to be introduced. And of course, you'll cue me when we're ready, right? So let's listen in together. And there he is. OK, Brian, listen to Don Lemon called Charlie Kirk's Memorial Service, religious nationalism. Watch this. To me, this was not mourning. This was a mobilization. And here is where... We have to tell the truth here. What we saw in that arena was not simply faith-finding public expression. It was religious nationalism on full display. That is the truth. That is my truth. This is my freedom of expression. This is my First Amendment right to be able to tell you the truth from my point of view, not just from my point of view. This is what it is. All right, Brian, let's take that on. It was religious. And there was a good deal of nationalism in the speech. Does that make it religious nationalism? It was one of the most perfect events I've ever seen. I mean, almost every speaker took it a different direction. And I'm struck by this, Stuart, Don Lemon's saying, this is what I think. And whatever happens next, I'm not interested. I don't care what Don Lemon thinks. But the reason you brought it up is because other people are saying this. They're trying to marginalize. 277,000 people in and outside the arena who came from one man who turned 31 years old who had a message. Let's talk. Let's dialogue. I'm conservative. I'm Christian. I have a point of view. And man, I resonated with the most powerful people in America, a country I'm proud to be in. He's very patriotic. He was very well read. And he brought all those things into Turning Point. And Turning Point's got a bunch of disciples who are doing their work. And when people talk about religious, I am religious, I'm not. religious. It's a set of moral values that if people adhere to, the world would be a better place. That's it. Why are people offended and worried about that? Why would you come out against that? That's by saying, I would like to just let all hell break loose in the world. Well, it seems to me that the left is really, really uncomfortable with Christianity for whatever reason. They don't like it. And you never hear them use the word Jesus. Is that going to change?

Wow. What a great question. I think you will. I mean, I wouldn't doubt. I mean, it looks like we're going to have a campaign soon in 2020. You know, we're going to get really started after November after the off-year elections. And I think people are going to bring it up. And especially in the Midwest and the South. I mean, that resonates called, that's called every day. You know, in the Northeast, when I used to that. But there are certain areas that maybe you're changing. And there's a lot of places. You know, Trump gained in every state in the country? He gained in every state in the country. But he talked about these things not the way Charlie did and maybe like Marco Rubio and J.D. did. But in the same moralistic, this is where we're heading way. Be proud of this country. Where here's the way you should do things. And watching our borders and doing things like that. I think it's going to be more in the vernacular. But I just don't want to see it marginalized. Because people say, well, that's not my religion. But they're basically just talking about a way to live your life with purpose. Yeah. I'm sure you've seen this, but we've got this new Gallup poll. 67% are dissatisfied with the way things are going in the country. Now, that poll was taken right after Charlie Kirk assassination. I think that really got to the nation. I think you're right. I mean, if you talk to, you know, some people are very happy with the government in place and some people are extremely unhappy with the government in place. Some people are upset that illegal immigrants are being told to leave the country and some people are happy about it. We're divided on many issues. But one thing I think would definitely help. is if we can make sure our economy gets on track, we start hitting gear, being able to hit gear, we start being able to bring grocery prices down a little bit further. Suddenly the housing market unfreezes. People realize they're not stuck in their house. It is time to improve their location. You can afford college again. When little things start going in right direction, people can get their mind off politics and back into their own life, their own careers, their own family, the better off will be. As much as politicians want attention, best when America does its best when they're worried about what's going on in their family and their life. I think we're too worried about Trump. I think we're too worried about the AOCs and politicians. For the most part, they're not playing a role in our lives. Stop with the obsession as much as it brings us viewers and listeners. I think that we'll be much better off when we can get back to doing what we're doing and focus on politicians when we have to. Right again, Brian Kilmeade. Thanks to join us, Brian. See again real soon. All right. Absolutely. Stuart Vaughney did a fantastic job over covering everything over in the UK too because the president had a very successful summit there. But I think it's time to see some results with Russia, with Gaza, with everything. Get the hostages out, some type of full court press there. And I think that Steve Witkoff needs some help. You got Steve Witkoff doing Iran, that didn't go well or it did go well with the final result. Steve Witkoff doing the hostages, Steve Witkoff doing Russia and Ukraine. It's impossible. This is an everyday 24-hour thing.

And when it comes to Russia, I think talking is over. I think it's going to be something about national security now for NATO. National security for 33 nations that make up this country, that make up the most successful alliance and longest lasting alliance, maybe in world history. Other nations playing a role in that. So we'll continue to follow that, as well as the aftermath of Kamala Harris' book. People are so mad at James Comer for bringing up Biden and trying to find out about the Autopenn scandal. They say, why are you going backwards? Why are we relitigating the previous four years? Let's look ahead, especially the way it ended and the pervasive and the overwhelming loss and the elections. And then what Kamala Harris did, we're putting out this book, brings us right back to 2024. But the problem is not Donald Trump. They're not in this book. The problem are other Democrats going after Democrats going after Democrats. And the one person they gave a billion and a half dollars to, and she still ended up in debt, lost, and she is angry. And she's taking no prisoners. I'm not sure if she has a political future in this. This is not going to help it. But Democrats now are scrambling to answer the questions that she put. forward. To listen to the Brian Kilmeade, there's nowhere else you should be. From Hyatom, Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sewing division. It's Brian Kilmeade. I'm so glad you're here. I guess the whole world is here, right, at 48th and 6 in Midtown Manhattan. We're a national show, but the whole world is here, 150 plus leaders. The President of the United States just wrapped up his remarks. I think they lasted about 40 minutes. He didn't have a teleprompter, had some fun with it to start, and then covered everything. And I just think about what the world is thinking. They were so worried for the longest time. Don't make sure you know that global warming and climate change is a third rail of Republicans. Don't bring it up. He's like, Paris climate change. Remember when he left it was such a big deal? Now everybody knows it's a big scam. Everybody knows that Joe Biden jammed that down our throats with the IRA, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the President even brought that up. I do have some news to update you on. The president has called off his meeting with the Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer. And it's really at the urging of Republican leadership. They're trying to undo the whole big, beautiful bill. If you hear what they want to do to continue to fund the government, it's basically unwind half the things the president redid with the big beautiful bill was so hard for him to pass. And he has a lengthy... a post on truth social about it. But this is definitely approved by John Thune and Speaker Johnson. He says after reviewing the details of the unsurious and ridiculous demands being made by the radical left in the return for their votes to keep our thriving country open, I've decided to have no meeting with Chuck Schumer.

and Hakeem Jeffries, they can have $1 trillion in new spending to continue their health care and illegal aliens. They basically want to restore the whole thing if you look at what they proposed. So they know the president would not sign off on that, but my thing is they'd probably try to get one of those scenes that Nancy Pelosi did with Chuck Schumer two separate times as they brawl in front of the cameras. And if it didn't happen in front of the cameras, it would leak out that they went up and stood up to the president and acted tough because they have an election to win. in the off year, and then in the midterms. One of the best guys you'll ever meet, and I wish he'd be back in the political fray, but I don't know if he could handle the pay cut. Howell Ford Jr. Foxx, whose contributor, co-hosts of the most successful show on television, The Five. Harold, welcome back. Brian Kilmeade, always good to be with you, sir. Thank you for the kind word. I can anticipate your reaction. You're always saying we're better off talking, but it looks like they're not going to talk because the president feared, in my words, grandstanding, if they were to meet to avoid a government shutdown, your reaction. Well, you're right. I always think that it's best to, thanks again for having me on. I think it's always best to talk. And here's why. If you don't talk to very people whom, when you're in public office, who you say you are desiring to represent and desiring to make their lives better, because leadership and politics. when they go hand in hand, because sometimes the politics doesn't have any leadership, but when they go hand in hand, positive things happen for people. So I differ slightly with the president and the characterization here. I think if you're not going to meet with Democrats, presumably that means one or two things. One, you don't need their votes to pass what it is you want to pass. And this is vice versa, if a Democrat was not going to meet with Republicans, but in instance, as a Republican president, not meeting with Democrats. So you either don't need their votes to pass it and or. related to that, you already have the votes to pass it, and you're trying to get more, you want the country to see this is something's bipartisan. The president has control, this party does the House and the Senate, Mr. John Thune, who's an old friend, and Speaker Johnson, who I don't know as well, they don't have the votes in their chambers to pass this. If Speaker Johnson had enough Republicans to say, hey, we think the Democrats are wrong to want to adjust some of these health care spending. I actually think they're right. I actually think if I were the president, I would restore some of the funding for Medicaid because the president, President Trump made a promise to his voters, many of them viewers and listeners on Fox and Fox radio, to say that I am not going to cut Medicare, Social Security, or Medicaid.

And the problem is they've cut Medicaid. Now, the president may think that's the right thing to do, and clearly he does, and many Republicans do as well because they passed it. And Democrats don't think that. So if you need Democrats to support legislation to keep the government open, and you have to negotiate with them. This is not rocket science. But you pass legislation. You have to negotiate. I've negotiated home with my wife. Sometimes I've negotiated with my kids. But Harold, when you negotiate with your wife, you sincerely want to resolve. There's a sense that there's a sense that there's no sense of resolve at showboating. And I would just qualify what you're saying about Medicaid and saying that they're looking at the people who are eligible. They said the eligibility has made Medicaid unsustainable. And they do not want to fund illegal immigrants. I don't care how long they've been here. They should not be eligible for social programs. So I think the rural hospitals looks like they want to take away the rural hospital fund that was put out there because rural hospitals were left. out of the big beautiful bill. So they put 50 billion aside for it. So they thought that was something that was going to come in. And it's, by the way, the House is fine. It's the Senate that's the problem because you need 60 votes. And John Thune also, who you know is like you, very even tempered, wants to get stuff done, not a firebrand, not Matt Bill Gates type. He doesn't see any sincerity on the left, just a ability to show their voters that they're standing up to Trump. All right. So, again, I just, whatever the motivation is of these Democrats who, I mean, it wouldn't be the first time that a politician wanted to go to the White House and come out and showboat. I mean, that's part of politics. I think John Thune, John Thune, there's probably some truth of what he's saying. But what we know is there's absolute truth to is that there's not enough votes to keep the government open after September 30 if they don't reach an agreement. I'm just built different. I just think that you have to be willing to give a bit in order to advance the interests of the country. I think it's a selfishness on the part of politicians in that federal and that national political class, meaning Congress and the Senate and the White House, who are really fighting and feuding amongst between each other when the very people who need them to pass this are the people who vote for them. Now, I differ with you a little bit on the Medicaid piece. I mean, I don't even wrong. I don't think that illegal aliens or illegal immigrants ought to be benefiting from that. I think that people who can go to work should go to work. But to give you just a tangible example, the biggest payer, the biggest payer for mental health services in our country for teenagers and for young adults is Medicaid. So if you are a young person and your father, your mom, doesn't qualify for Medicaid any longer because they're missing some element of how they're seeking work or trying to get work or they may have to stay home with you because you have some sort of health issue and you no longer get health care because the Medicaid has been cut off. It's really kids who've been impacted the most about it. But I don't mean to get in the weeds about it. My only point is this. If the president and the Republicans in the House and Senate do not have the votes amongst themselves to pass this legislation, then it is incumbent. It is necessary. It is without question. The only route they can take is to go and try to negotiate, even if they think that the other side is only trying to advance themselves politically. And I would argue to them that's what politics is about.

I mean, this is not, this Democrats are not turning a new page here by saying, hey, we want, we want to have some, some attention here. We want some credit here. You know, Republicans are asking for it. Just give me a clean CR because you need three more months to negotiate evidently because they can't get it done on time on the Senate side. Three more months to negotiate our budget. They say, we need some more time. It's just a clean CR. Whatever we're paying, we're paying. Whatever you're funding, you're funding. Just keep it going because if the Senate just got their work done, am I right, Harold? If Senate got their appropriations bills done, we wouldn't be at this point. This House did get it done. They're supposed to get their appropriations bills done, go to conference and fund the government. Is that correct? And if that is true, why did they take off in August? The House has done – I think the House has done – I don't think they've done all of the appropriations, but they've done a number of them. You're now in the process of trying to get reconciled with what the Senate has done. You ask basic questions. Every year they take off in August, and every year, the fiscal year starts on October 1. This is not a surprise. I mean, in the last 45 years, Congress has only passed this budget on time, the funding of the government – Four times. Crazy. Now, this is their job. If you and I failed and only showed up at Fox 10% of the time, we'd be fired. And the challenge we face in our political class is that the country has gotten so accustomed to this nonsense, this back and forth. They governed by defaults. They governed by shutdowns. They governed by only when they have to pass legislation. That's not how our national political class or national political body should work. But here we are. And again, I just, I don't, I think subsequently a lot of things you're saying, Brian, I happen to agree with. I happen to agree with some of the things, if not many of the things the Democrats want. But one thing I have to agree with is if they don't come together and have some give and take, we're going to have another government shutdown on September 30 a week from today or at midnight on September 30 the morning of October 1st. And it will be the 46 times, 46 years, and they've only done four on time. So, I want to get to Kamala Harris's book, and I know you're going to be talking about this on the five today. Here's what she said to Rachel Maddow in her first interview since coming out, and she talked about mistakes she made. Cut 19. No matter how, you know, I've been an advocate and an ally of the LGBT community my entire life. So it wasn't about, yeah, right. So it wasn't about any prejudice on my part. But we had such a short period of time. And the stakes were so high. I think Pete is a phenomenal, phenomenal public servant. And I think America is and would be ready for that. But when I had to make that decision with two weeks to go...

You know, and maybe I was being too cautious. And you're talking about not picking people to just because he's gay. You're asking America to pick a woman, to pick a woman of color, and a gay man. It seems like such an obsession on gender, sexuality, and nationality. And it just was very flagrant in that answer. I could play even more of it. Your response. I've said now for the last two days, I don't understand why you would include this in a book. for two reasons. Put aside the Pete Buttigieg's sexual orientation. It is, politics is best litigated going forward, not backwards. Second, why would you go through? and enumerate the details behind the choices you didn't make for VP around people who are Democrats who are perceived and likely will be the future of the party. I just, I didn't get it. Again, I wish her nothing but the best. It sounds like this was more of a cathartic exercise, and it was a strategic exercise on her part. And, you know, she'll have to deal with the consequences of not only the decision she made in those 107 days, but even the decision she's making now about how she's talking about that and how that, you know, portends for her future. And she talks about the Biden fallout. She says, she recalls her conversation when he dropped out. When he dropped out, she recalls Biden wanting to wait days to endorse her. for her so he could have national attention. And he says, no, you got to do it right away. And she talked about how upset she was that he waited nine minutes to come out with a tweet to endorse her. And there was separation there. And then when she talked about the disappointment in his speech of the DNC said it was a legacy speech for him, not an argument for me. But if we waited for some personal stories about working with me and what qualities he had seen about me that led to endorse me, they just weren't in that. speech. He talked about putting on the MAGA hat on the on the trail for her and that overwhelming her ellipse speech. And then when he called Trump people, Trump voters trash, garbage rather, that overwhelmed her on the on the campaign trail. Is your sense this was done on some way passive aggressively against her? I don't. Again, Brian, as I said, I don't understand this exercise of this book, the purpose of it. At some level, it strikes me as her saying that she's not going to ever run against the public office. At least I don't know how you come back to the Democratic Party. And the things that I've not read the book, the excerpts from the book that I've listened to and that I've had read to me, it's just puzzling to me.

You know, I think if anything, the vice president should be saying the Democrats, thank you. Because the party, we gave her the nomination without a primary. We gave her the nomination. And a billion dollars. And a billion dollars. Right. And then the campaign was well-funded and well-resourced. But look, I don't, I'm not a psychologist, psychiatrist. I don't, and nor do I understand all that's going on with the vice. I like her personally, but she is, this is not what I would be doing. And I don't think it, again, I don't think it votes well for her going forward. So just quick, I have a minute left. But as a Democrat, they hated the fact that they're doing the whole autopen investigation with Zepts and everyone's got to take the fifth or explain what they were doing while Biden was losing his mind. Now this brings everything back, but they only have themselves to blame. Now Josh Shapiro and Gretchen Whitmer and Biden and everybody else is going to be asked about their relationship with Kamala Harris and they can't point to Trump to say, where is this coming from? Final thought? Yeah, again, I think this goes both ways. President Biden is no longer the president. He tried his hardest to make our country better and make our country stronger. In some instance he succeeded, some he didn't. I dislike when President Trump, who is my friend, but I dislike when he constantly rails on President Biden. You've got to look forward. And I just think you look backwards only to get some context about where you're going forward. Not you don't look backwards. to bash and explain why you can't get the job done, whether you're a Democrat or Republican. I agree. I would love for the president not to bring up to Joe Biden again. I really don't want to hear it. But when people in the Biden administration write books about it, that's when you guys talk about it on the five, and then we got it front and center here. But I agree with you, Harold. I have no interest in looking back. I have no, from the president's perspective, he's got too much on his plate. You wrote a great book on, you know how close. John Thune and I, we were the bipartisan basketball team back when we were in Congress back in the late 90s, and we won the championship a couple times. And it was not because of me. John Thune can play. The leader can play. So you wrote about it and thank you again. That's the only time I look back on this conversation. You got it. And by the way, I'm writing a secret. Harold Ford. Thanks so much. Thank you, man. Watch him on the 5 today and everywhere around the channel. Back in a moment. Brian Kilmeade-Mitchell, latest from the UN and just around the bend. Politics, current events, and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say. Stay with Brian Kilmeade. Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kilmeade. Six years have passed since I last stood in this grand hall and addressed a world that was... prosperous and at peace in my first term. Since that day, the guns of war have shattered the peace I forged on two continents. An era of calm and stability gave way to one of the great crises of our time. And here in the United States, four years of weakness, lawlessness, and radicalism under the last administration delivered our nation into a repeated...

set of disasters. So this is the President of the United States just gave us address without a teleprompter, for the most part, at the United Nations, it was very Trumpian, and they had stuff addressing real-life issues. And one of those real-life issues is Russia's belligerents and their refusal to do anything that shows that they will come to some type of agreement when it comes to stopping the war in Ukraine. And he says there's going to be strong tariffs coming on to Russia. He called on European nations to stop buying oil and gas. And basically they have from them while putting more money and buying weapons from him to give to you. Ukraine. So the president's getting what he wants. And I want Ukraine to get what they need. In order to hold off Russia. And just think about this. When people say, and the president has said this before, there's a big ocean between us. But we don't want to live in a world where Russia control is the biggest army in the world. And then they'll control the biggest and most well-trained army in Europe. That would be the second one in Ukraine, who, by the way, pound for pound is better than Russia. More casualties on them than on that they had to suffer themselves. So more character of meaning on Russia. When we come back, I'm going to talk to Alan West about this, what it means from... military perspective and also about the cyber attack that would go as about to overwhelm most of the country

From his mouth to your ears, it's Brian Kilmeade. Everyone thought Russia would win this war in three days, but it didn't work out that way. It was supposed to be just a quick little skirmish. It's not making Russia look good. It's making them look bad. No matter what happens from here and out, this was something that should have taken a matter of days, certainly less than a week. And they've been fighting for three and a half years and killing anywhere from five to seven thousand young soldiers, mostly, mostly soldiers on both sides every single week from five to seven thousand dead young people. And some in cities, much smaller numbers, where rockets are shot, where drones are dropped. This war would never have started if I were president. This was a war that should have never happened. So he talks about Russia doesn't look good. I love that. I love it too. And he says we expect strong tariffs on them. I don't know if tariffs are enough. I think that we've got to go ahead and put it on those second parties. Congress gave us a great bill. Now, look, I know we're in a sensitive time with China negotiations, and they are our rival slash enemy. But economically, we're trying to get across the line, and they've got the rare earth that we have, and we got things that they need. And then if you hit him with 50% tariffs, it blows the whole thing up. If you want to slow walk the China tariffs, let Europe do that, and then you hit Brazil, Turkey, South Africa, who's buying their cheap oil, at the same time, you really try to put pressure on China to stop supplying them with dual-use weapons. Lieutenant Colonel Alan West is here, Dallas County Republican Chair, the American Constitutional Rights Union Executive Director. Colonel, your thoughts about the President's stance. There's no doubt about it. Russia's not close to being ready for peace. No, they're not. And I think we have seen the response from Vladimir Putin since the meeting that President Trump had with him in Alaska that he's going to continue to go forward with his plans and the attacks that you've seen. And even the fact that we've had some drones that went across border into Poland. So I believe, and I agree with you, that we have to start looking at those second-tier countries that we can affect that are doing business with Russia and how we can make that happen. And then also we have to look at how we can deter the Chinese from interfering and engaging and supporting Russia and their endeavors in Ukraine. And without a doubt, the reason why you have North Korean troops assist in Russia and Ukraine is because China is allowing that to happen. So, you know, by way of, you know, our oil and natural gas and other means, we've got to put the pressure like we saw on India. We've got to get people from trusting and being supportive of the natural gas coming out of Russia. I was glad to see the EU, and, you know, they wanted to buy more energy resources from us. So that's how we have to peel this onion back. You know that rapidly, too, because they understand the threat is real. I mean, what is the right response when you're a NATO nation and a leader? like us, and they breached the airspace of Poland, Estonia, Romania, and now I believe this morning, Belgium. What do you want to see? Admiral Stabrid has talked about instead of, and this is not the right Air Force terminology, so excuse me. Instead of being on the tarmac when they hit, he wants air patrols. He wants AWACs. He talked about the type of fighter jets need to be done. That's got to be done. That would send a great message, wouldn't it?

Yeah, what he's talking about is the air cap, air capability that you put out there, especially in those Baltic states, such as Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, maybe work with Finland, definitely with Poland and other Eastern European nations. You've got to start having that show of force. And it doesn't just have to be the United States. It can be a NATO-based shore of force where you have these people that are up in the air and they're able to. to say, look, you know, enough is enough. And we're going to start having these type of power and capability patrols that are up there on the air. And also look and see what we can do and working with our NATO allies on the ground, more joint exercise and especially intelligence sharing. So listen to this. Recep Tayyip Erdogan sat down with Brett Baer, the president of Turkey. And listen to how he needles Trump here. Cut 51. You've heard President Trump talk about how he thinks about images too, but the images he thinks about are October 7th and what happened inside Israel. So how does this come to an end? Much like Russia's Ukraine, how can this come to an end? Is there a deal that can be made? I can only say this. Mr. Trump... You might remember he used a term when he said, I will finish the Russia-Ukraine war. Did it end? It still goes on. Similarly, he said, I will finish the war in Gaza. They didn't? No. That means once we start analyzing the issue, there are prices to pay. And when we look at the hostage exchange, that was done. It goes on. So I'm not sure quite what he meant, but he wanted to just make it clear that I know that Trump didn't get it done. And that's a ally that's coming to the White House tomorrow. Am I oversensitive to that? No, first and foremost, Recep Tayyip Erdogan is not a friend to the United States of America. Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been very supportive of Islamic terrorism and Islamic terrorist activities. We know that he facilitated a lot of the ISIS activities and allowing those fighters to transit through Turkey. We know that just the same as Qatar and others, he supports some of these terrorist organizations. And he's quite cozy with Russia. I mean, the S-300 missile systems. He's bought those from Russia. So, you know, I don't really think he should be part of NATO. Maybe that's something that President Trump would talk to him about. So, yeah, I think that there are people to look and say, okay, President Trump, you said that if the hostages aren't released, all hell will break loose. I hadn't seen that happen. So I believe that there comes a time when you have to take those actions.

Much the same is what Israel did going out to Hamas leadership inside Qatar. You have to be bold. You have to be audacious. And you send a message to your opposition and to your adversaries. So the U.S. Secret Service dismantled an imminent telecommunications threat in New York City. But this is no small thing. The protective intelligence investigation led to the discovery of more than... 300 co-located SIM servers, 100,000 SIM cards across multiple sites. In addition to carrying out anonymous telephone threats, these devices could be used to conduct a wide range of telecommunications attack. They were going to be able to directly text message 12 million people, overwhelm a system, bring cell towers down, and stop 911 calls from being answered. This can only be done by a handful of countries, one of which is China. Yeah. Well, that's part of that asymmetric warfare that we see China engaging in. And again, this is where we have to start looking at China, and we have to put pressure on them because we know they're behind these things. We know that they're behind so much of this infiltration. When you look at what happened with our border, you're talking about 20 to 25,000 single military age males Chinese that came into this country, these Chinese police stations that are out there intimidating, you know, Chinese citizens. that are here in the United States of America trying to suppress their free speech and speaking out against that regime. So it's time we get tough on China. I know that everyone's saying that, you know, we're tied to them economically, but at some point in time, we've got to have that off-ramp and get more of our industries back here being produced who cannot trust and depend on them when it comes to so much production, manufacturing, and being a part of our economy. All right. So here, and by the way, rare earth, pharmaceuticals, we have to be making adjustments. Hopefully we are. Kamala Harris is speaking out about a book. She looks twisted into knots trying to explain. it called Rachel Maddow. I don't even think read the book when she talked to him. And she was talked about herself not stepping in and telling Joe Biden not to run. Cut 17. So when I write this, it's because I realize that I have and had a certain responsibility that I should have followed through on, which is, and so when I talk about the recklessness, as much as anything I'm talking about myself, There was so much, as we know, at stake. And as I write, you know, where my head was at at the time is that it would be completely, it would come off as being completely self-serving. If she stepped up and said something. But when she did, she's mad at Biden. She said, for not endorsing me right away when he made the announcement, for giving a DNC speech and barely mentioning her, which was true, for screwing up and putting on the MAGA hat on the trail, overwhelmed the speech she had in the ellipse. And she came out and said that Joe Biden also called Trump voters garbage, and that became a huge distraction on the trail. So, and let alone the call right before a debate to say, my brother tells me you're trashing me, knowing she's got to get her head on straight to go.

out in a debate. So this is a breakup call. This is a breakup book, isn't it? Yeah, it's seriously a breakup book, but too much, too little, too late. Why didn't you do all of these things when you were there in office when people were pointedly asking you about Joe Biden's mental acuity and capacity and capability? And you were saying that he was absolutely fine, that he's in total control. And so now, you know, post everything that has happened, these people trying to extricate themselves from that disaster. And really, I think they're doing is trying to elevate them, you know, herself. trying to stay relevant, which I don't think she is. Do you think it helps her? Even though I know you think she's terrible, and I think she's a terrible candidate, and she's so unnatural. She doesn't study. She doesn't work hard. You lost me on those two attributes. So having said that, do you think that it's going to sell books for sure? But if you go ahead and know you're going to be competing against Josh Shapiro and you're going to be competing against Gavin Newsom, and I guess you could say competing against Pete Buttigieg to a degree, You mean, you're kind of on that debate stage now, aren't you? Taking the first shot. Yeah, of course. Of course, she's on that debate stage, but I don't think that she is going to go very far, and I don't think that the far left that owns the Democrat Party right now wants to have her there. Josh Shapiro doesn't have a chance. I mean, you know, the far left didn't want him to be vice president. They could have come a lot closer. They don't like that these Jewish. It's a very anti-Semitic party. And so right now, the biggest mouths that you see coming from the Democrat Party, the AOCs, the Jasmine Krakis, the Zohran Mamdani Mamdhanis. I mean, looking at, you know, Kathy Hochul and now Hakeem Jeffries have bowed down and kissed his ring because they understand who controls who butters the bread for the Democrat Party. So I want you- Progressive Socialists left. Right. Look, Smirmao Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, we're talking to Zohran Mamdani. We haven't made a decision yet. That's lack of courage. Just make a decision. The head of the DNC in New York said, I'm not supporting him. He doesn't stand for capitalism. He's anti-Jewish, so I'm not doing it. That's a decision. The governor of New York says, I don't agree with him, but I'm endorsing him. She doesn't get an endorsement back on an embarrassment. And here's Kamala Harris. Tell me if this is an endorsement or shows how she equivocates again. Cut 23. Do you endorse this candidacy? I support the Democrat in the race. Sure. But let me just say this. He's not the only star. I know that, you know, he's in New York, and I know New Yorkers think they're in the center of the world, and here we are in New York having this interview. It is the biggest city in the country. And I love New York as the saying goes. I really do. But, I mean, there are people like Barbara Drummond in Mobile, Alabama, Helena Moreno.

in New Orleans. They're all running for mayor, too, and they are stars. So I hope that we don't so over-index on New York City that we lose sight of the stars throughout our country who are right now running for mayor and many others. I can't listen anymore. The dumb laugh. I just can't take it. And number two is have some guts. I endorse the Democrat and the party. Again, that's what people can't stand. Trump has ruined that type of politician forever. Yeah, you're absolutely right. And if you notice in that little clip, she could mention the names of those two other individuals who were running from mayor, but she did not mention Zohran Mamdani's name. She just called him the Democrat that is running in the race. Gotless. She got totally gutless and equivocating, and she's trying to stay away from this and trying to thread that needle. But again, this is what people don't like about Kamahars. And, of course, whenever she's nervous, when, of course, when you've got her kind of off guard, she goes to that silly, you know, laugh. And, you know, the American people seem through that. So I think that her relevancy bubble is losing air. Balloon is losing air. So what is your reflections on Charlie Kirk and what you saw on Sunday? I tell you what, what an incredible gathering. And this is the thing that you have to understand is that, you know, an incredible young man tragically lost his life by assassination. Where are the burning buildings? Where are the people out in the street rioting and all of this type of nature? What you saw was a grieving widow that stood up there and said, I forgive you. And how powerful of the statement that can be for her to say that. And tens of millions of people, not just there, but all across the world saw that and heard that. So it's just a completely different reaction because it's a completely different mentality. It's a completely different movement. One is rooted in violence. That's the left. The other is rooted in principle and values. And that's what we see with constitutional conservatism. Yeah, I think where it goes from here is going to be fascinating. You know, Trump's got to do things economically. I get it, and he's got to make some definite decisions internationally. I understand it. But I'm wondering if the foundation has been laid to really separate these two parties or make the left really get understood that the whole Bible thing, religious, is... irrelevant to what he was saying. It doesn't matter of your Christian. It's a set of rules and morals to live by. What do you do when no one else is watching? How do you know if your parents aren't there? You know, if you don't have the best situation in life, do you blame? Do you ask for handouts or do you take responsibility? Collectively, that changes a nation. I'm not, he's not asking, no one's asking people to come Christians or Jews. You know, I think that what you're really talking about is less of an emphasis on political parties as opposed to ideology. When you see the elevation of individual rights, freedoms, and liberties as opposed to this collectivism where you try to put people in boxes and you try to manipulate one group against another, and especially with young people, I think that this is really going to touch young people because...

I think everybody wants to have the conversation. Everybody wants to have the open debate and dialogue and discourse. And to hear that, you know, he even sent a letter to a note to Van Jay Jones and saying, let's sit down, let's talk about this. That's what you want to see continue to happen. That's going to put the left in a very bad position. Lieutenant Colonel Allen West, thanks again. Talk to you soon. Appreciate. God bless. Take care, Brian. Back in a moment. Coming to you on a need-to-know basis because, man, you need to know. It's Brian Kilmeade. A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kilmeade. Hey, we are back. One of the main things the president did yesterday announced that they have something they're recommending. Tylenol not be used for pregnant women. They also have a medicine out there that's been out for a long time that's having some success with autistic patients. At the same time, he also declared Antifa a terror network. And this is so important because Antifa wrecks stuff. They disturb things. They surround colleges. They're mostly overprivileged white kids who wear black men. and terrorized and really been a stake in Europe and here. I want you hear what Karoline Leavitt said yesterday what allows police and the FBI to do. Cut 37. As President Trump has promised, he will directly address the dark sources funding and supporting this domestic terrorism to finally restore order in our country. The American people can expect further, very strong action on this very soon. Everyone, Republican, Democrat, everyone in between. We all deserve to live in a country where we do not have to fear for our lives simply for stating what we believe in. And they're going to look into the funding because these people are on the streets, not because they're dedicated to a cause. They're dedicated to creating anarchy. And that's their job. They want to get paid. And guess where it goes? A lot of the funding when it comes to Antifa, George Soros. So when they're not funding groups like that, they're funding way-left prosecutors who put the criminal first over you and allow them to run wild hurting the police on the street. and the ripple effect has been unsafe cities that all of us are now choosing to avoid if we can. Most of them are blue, and the president's trying to straighten it out. He never slows down. Keep in mind, I'm not slowing down either. Saturday night, I'm going to be in Richmond, Virginia. Hope to see you there, Brian Kilmeade.com.
