"Not A Just War?" Brian Kilmeade Fires Back at the Pope

In this intense episode of The Brian Kilmeade Show, host Brian Kilmeade delivers a scathing critique of the Pope’s condemnation of U.S. military actions in Iran, framing it as morally inconsistent and out of step with Catholic just war tradition, especially given the Church’s historical silence during events like the Holocaust and Iran’s mass killings. Kilmeade defends President Trump’s strategic blockade of Iranian ports as a bold, non-aggressive move to counter Iran’s nuclear ambitions and regional aggression, aligning it with just war principles and praising its success in degrading Iran’s military and economic power without full-scale war. The discussion expands into immigration and border security, with Congressman Chip Roy warning of a coordinated effort by foreign-backed groups—linked to the Muslim Brotherhood’s 1991 plan—to impose Sharia law in Texas, calling it a national security threat. Guest Dr. Kevin Roberts reinforces the legitimacy of Trump’s foreign policy, arguing that the Pope’s blanket rejection of war undermines centuries of Catholic teaching and fails to account for existential threats. The episode also centers on the political fallout from serious sexual misconduct allegations against Congressman Eric Swalwell, with Kilmeade condemning the alleged 2019 incident involving physical aggression and trauma, calling for a full House ethics and law enforcement investigation. He emphasizes that timing should not invalidate the gravity of the claims and implies a broader pattern of misconduct among Democratic lawmakers, including Congressman Gonzalez, urging accountability across the party. The segment concludes with praise for VA improvements under Doug Collins and bipartisan support for the Dignity Act, while Republicans push reconciliation to fund Homeland Security and the military amid Democratic obstruction.
