Summary

WABC Radio Host Brian Kilmeade joins the program to discuss the partial DHS shutdown affecting TSA, citing hundreds of TSA agents walking off the job and long wait times at airports like Atlanta, Washington, and Philadelphia; Kilmeade blames Democrats and criticizes their stance on voter ID while discussing the Save America Act, arguing Republicans should keep legislation focused on clean voter-ID provisions and noting possible compromise efforts to fund DHS. The conversation then shifts to questions about Trump’s relationship with Qatar amid Middle East tensions, with Kilmeade saying Qatar has served as a broker and investment partner, while Iran’s actions are clarifying regional alignments; he notes Gulf states have not condemned U.S. actions and suggests Qatar may be pushed to stop “playing both ends.” Learn more about your ad choices.
