Elizabeth Pipko, former GOP national SPOKESWOMAN and before we get started talking about all things politics and all that fun stuff, which you're an expert at, we got to talk about the Knicks game. Now, I'm a Celtic fan. I had nothing in this at all other than just enjoying the NBA Finals. So if we could roll that number 29, that would be phenomenal.
B
Brunson gets it, fires up a three shot. No good. The tip, it's gone. It's gone. It's gone. With 1.2 remaining, Knicks take the lead. OG Ananoby. And it's 1. 107, 106. No timeouts left.
A
They have to get it in.
B
Harper lobs it inside. Castle hasn't lost it. That's it. It's over. The greatest comeback in NBA playoff history. The Knicks pull off the miracle comeback and lead it three games to one now, one win away from a title.
A
Yeah, that. I was glad there was a huge blowout because the Gutfeld show was running during that time, so there was a nice lull so our ratings didn't get hit. And then you flipping back now. Are you a Knicks fan?
C
Yeah. I'm born and raised in New York. Everyone I know is crying over this, so it's hard not to really, really get into the emotion of it all.
A
Did you. Was there a point in the game where you felt like, I'm going to switch to something else, or did you stay the course?
C
Everyone told me so. I was up at 4 today to do Fox Business. So everyone's like, you should be sleeping. Like, they're down by 25. Why are you even bothering? And I stayed up and I was like, you never know. It's New York, and if it's a comeback and I miss it, I'm really, really going to regret it. But by, you know, midpoint of the fourth quarter, I'm like, oh, I think I was right. Like, it's going to happen. Then I wavered and then, you know, it all. It all happened. It was a good lesson in never giving up.
A
For sure what I've been. I'm a Boston Celtics fan, and I have noticed this trend in the NBA where teams get. And the Boston Celtics are phenomenal at doing this, getting up 25 on a team and then losing by five. But it always comes. There's always one moment in the game, and much like life, and I hate to do it, but Wembley choked again. He did. If he makes those two free throws, it's not a question that that missed three is ball game. A lot of people going after Fox for trying to get a layup. But I goes back to the thing. He didn't make the free throws. It was. And then hearing. I have a. Like I said, I don't like the Knicks. I don't like Knick fans. I think they're bandwagon fans especially. That's true. Celebrities, every single one of them. You don't see them at all. And then when they act like they made the shot, it's not. It's like they're. They're looking for the camera. I think the worst was Taylor Swift was that I don't even know what that group was about. But again, it's the NBA Finals and you're glad. It's fantastic. I think the series is pretty much over. Do you have any predictions?
C
I think it's pretty much over. I think it'd be really funny if they. They win. Well in San Antonio to see what's going to happen here. I would be scared to go outside,
A
you know, and that's a real thing because we've had so many problems in New York with peaceful. Mostly peaceful protests. Yeah. Whatever that is. And just bad behavior overall. And I think a lot of. Unfortunately a lot of individuals are going to use this championship to do well.
C
I did that last night. I don't know why. We're celebrating the Knicks winning in an incredible win, by the way, with Palestinian flags. I don't know what one.
A
Yeah. I don't know the quite connection that it's not even. They don't even play summer league over there. So it's like. Is what. And speaking of. Of extremes, you know, I just. I gotta go right into it. This Graham Platner situation. I don't even need to say as a. Can I get a woman's perspective on this? Because I think this is just a human being perspective. Can we roll in? His excuses are just awful. Can we roll number two?
D
Love and redemption. Redemption is not just some simple or easy destination.
C
It's.
D
It's a journey. I've made mistakes in my life, mistakes that I regret, that I live with, that I continue to learn from. I'm still far from perfect, but every day I wake up and I try to be a little bit better and a little bit kinder than I was the day before. And if you give me the chance, I will be a senator for the people who cannot afford to buy a senator.
A
I will be a senator for people who can't afford to buy a senator. So he's already insinuating that Government is insanely corrupt. But did it, his speech sound like something that someone would write a book report about where, like where they try to use the, The. The action as a noun?
C
Yes, but. But to be fair, that's what works, right? If you're sitting back as a Democrat and you're wondering how to win right now, you're not going to win by being a normal, moderate individual. You're going to win by spewing nonsense AOC has been spewing for years and riling up. I think the worst part, obviously, of our country and of the Democrat base, and that's the only way to do it, is to say oligarchy a million times. Even though they can't spell it, I'm sure they don't know what it means. And to tell everyone that things are corrupt and you're going to make sure that their college is paid and that no one ever has to work a day in their life again and everything will be a utopia and communism is the win. And you basically will sail through a Democrat primary. I just don't know if it's going to get them the senatorship.
A
You know, I think it's funny when someone like Bernie Sanders says he's against oligarchy and he's been in the Senate for how long, which is kind of technically an oligarchy. I guess my thing is this. I think sometimes the conservative outrage, it's confusing to me as a black man because I see the same behaviors from the squad. And you mentioned AOC and Jasmine Crockett. They will say the most racist things about white people and, and everyone kind of gives them a pass. The only difference I see with, with, with the Fuhrer Platner is that he's white because he has the same ideology. And I don't. I'm waiting for America, especially white America, to kind of get off that guilt trip that, that kind of like, I'm sorry for something that I wasn't even a part of in a lot of cases. And they always bring back oppression, stolen land, all these things. You're white now. You might have been black back then.
C
That's true.
A
You know, this is. I mean, it's just. And if you're black now, you could have been white now. Like, I have two different rounds of Jamaican, Scottish, both had issues, good and bad. So I just. At some point, I think we have to stop, and I don't know if you agree with that, where we have to start calling them out for what they are. They are a racist party. They always want to mention Jim Crow. If you ask Jim Crow which team to join right now, I think it would be no question that he'd be like, wow, this is the Democrat. I mean, this is.
C
No, it's just there are people that, you know, see everyone in their country, see their voters as the color of their skin. They see them as different demographics. They truly believe there are oppressors in our country, though they can't actually point to one unless it's a white person or now a Jew or anyone that makes more money than you do. Where in reality, we believe in the opposite of that. It's so easy to come here with nothing and become successful. That's kind of what we promote. And for them, it's about making sure everyone knows that they are a victim, no matter what. That it's cool to be a victim. I mean, Bernie Sanders was yelling at millionaires for how many years? And he became billionaires. That's just all that it is. They want people to not look at the facts and just be angry at everyone around them. And it's. It's sad, but that's how you get people, by the way, to go out and vote in the midterms. You have to get them angry. And that's the only way to do it.
A
Because, I mean, can we roll Sunny Holstens, who's one of. I don't even. She's just clickbait tv. It's just the most ignorant stuff I've ever heard. And I said stuff because I'm being polite. I don't think Republicans at this point can ask us to take the moral high ground. There you go.
C
That is over at this point.
A
That's right. That is time for Democrats to stop that nonsense, put emotions on the side. Let's be strategic. Let's get some power. Republicans to ask us to take the moral high ground. How about just human beings take the moral high ground? I'll be the first one to say there are Republicans I wouldn't vote for. Is it Paxton in Texas? I wouldn't vote for him at all. And I have no promise. I don't support him based on his. His personal issues, I think are just. Is too much for me. That's my personal. I have no problem saying that.
C
Right.
A
Nothing against him personally. I just. That's not for me. I don't understand the idea that you're. And she said. And you pointed out earlier that she had already mentioned all the things that he was. He was misogynistic the day before, that
C
everything is wrong with this man. And she could never vote for him and doesn't know why Democrats stand for him. And then the next day, she said, I'm going to close my nose and vote for him. That's the only way to do it. That's what I would do if I were in Maine. And that's what you all should do.
A
And that, to me is absolutely. Again, she's basically saying the quiet part out loud is that I support racism. I support. I mean, this was. The Democrats pushed the MeToo movement so hard to where they were going after anyone for far less. He's literally on a website that is famously there for protecting predators and underage boys and girls, and yet they're fine with it because of it. I don't think it's fair to say Trump derangement anymore. I think this is just who it's.
C
Yeah, they truly hate half of the country. I don't think it was ever Trump's arrangement. I think it's almost arrangement against those who voted for Trump. That's the most dangerous part. People have always hated the opposite side. And whoever they elected, they've never hated their voters this much. Sunny Hostin has said for years, and I know this because I watch the View every single day. Don't ask me why. I need to know. I need to know what they're saying about us. But she has said for years that she judges folks not because of the policy viewpoints of Donald Trump, but for supporting someone with such, you know, moral failures. I don't believe in any of that. I love the president for many, many reason. Reasons. But she believes that voting for him, even if you agree with him politically, is the wrong thing to do. And she has repeated this at least three times a week for 10 years now. But now when it's about making sure the Democrats control the Senate, you hold your nose, you vote for anyone. Doesn't matter if they abuse the woman, if they support Nazis. Doesn't matter as long as they have that D next to their name. They are for Sunny Host.
A
I mean, it's not just women that have to be worried when it comes to the Fuhrer. Platner. That's my nickname for him. I tried air, but it sounds like I say air.
C
Honestly, he'd like it.
A
He probably. Well, yeah, because he didn't know.
C
How could you know how to know?
A
He was like, hey, I once danced with a Jewish person. Like, he just that. By the way, when someone says that, that's how you know how racist they are. Like, oh, I have a lot of black Friends, you know, like, counted them.
C
I have six.
A
Yeah. You know, and he. He continuously just says things to let you know he knows exactly who he is. Like, he said that he didn't know what it was.
C
Which, by the way, how is that a defense?
A
It's not.
C
I don't think if you are trying to be a senator and hold that kind of power and make decisions for the American people that you can get away with saying, I actually don't know who the Nazis are and I didn't know it was tattooed on my body for nearly two decades. That almost doesn't help at all.
A
No. And then he comes back with, just so you know, I'm a historian.
C
Well, not a very good.
A
I mean, it's just. It's like we took. It's like we took crazy pills when we hear them talk.
C
Yeah.
A
When a. When. And again, I hate what about ism. But this, I think, is a fair comparison when a Republican shows these type of behaviors. Because this guy, I don't see much difference with, in terms of philosophy, with how David Duke was.
C
Yeah.
A
Except he was a little scotch, more honest. But even David, I don't think he ever got the tattoo right. You know, and you have a guy who is. Who had the. The work the worst most. If you were going to get the worst Nazi tattoo, this one is number one and three on the list.
C
And a pretty bad spot, too. Like right on the shelves.
A
Yeah. I mean, it's not. It wasn't like. I mean, I'm. I was wondering, like, because they're saying, hey, there's more. Everyone keeps saying there's more to come out. Maybe he has a weird tramp stamp, the lower back. Yeah. You know, whatever. But you see this and they're so focused on them. But then meanwhile, you have. And I think this is that we had the hearings the other day, and I think this is the greatest villainous name ever, Mr. Fair. Like, I think that's just the. Like, he should have foot soldiers. But he did. To where again, it goes back to, we have to start. Racism is all inclusive and it has been just pushed on white America to the point where white America is walking on eggshells to even stand up against racism coming back on them. I. Racism in this country is so dried up and. And so hard to find in terms of coming from white America to where a group that he represents had to go out and manufacture higher.
C
Use their donations to create racism.
A
Yeah. To create racism. What a great compliment for America.
C
Yeah.
A
But how sad it is. But now, instead of Saying because I used to. And I unfortunately, when I was younger and stupid, I used to. Well, black people can't be racist. Bs. Yes. And it's, we have to start calling them out on it. And they have, there has to be consequences. You know, Jasmine Crockett is abs. Some of the things she says is absolutely sickening. And it's. And everyone gives her a pass. And then we echo it. Like, I get you have to watch the other side. But when if we, we wouldn't let a skinhead on the radio show today, you know, talking about how much he hates black America or he hates Jews, but yet if he had my skin tone, we would have him on and then thank him for coming on. That to me is insanity.
C
I also think you would sit here if he were running, for example, in a primary, you would say, hey, don't vote for him. I don't care if it gets Republicans the Senate. Do not vote for this man. It is not worth keeping the Senate. And that's I think, the only thing that matters. So people can see keep listening to you in 10, 20 years knowing that you tell them the truth in every
A
single election, you know, and that's a phenomenal point. We're going to take a quick break. Do you mind staying on for one more second with us? That is awesome. See, she stayed.

But okay, so during the break we were talking about, I was asking Elizabeth she was ever interested in running for office and apparently it's a question that comes up a lot. You've been working with the president for 10 plus years and you, you come from a family, immigrants. You are the American dream in a lot of aspects. Now, when there's a controversial subject, I'm going to roll this real quick. We roll. Jasmine Crockett, 24.
C
Was it a switch? I don't know what he had. It was like, it seemed like it
A
was a multi tool.
C
Almost like a Swiss Army. Yeah, like with the little scissors and everything and whatever. So it was small? Well, I would argue the size of it alone. You wouldn't even think it's a daily weapon.
A
That type of. And I'm that type of racist. Irresponsibility from leadership is the biggest problem in this country. And that's no different than if somebody was supporting a Nazi and the only reason why she's getting a pass is because she's black. That's. That's sad, isn't it?
C
It is. And you and I were talking about it. I think we're in an age where everybody wants to go viral. They want to be known for doing something to score a win against the opposite side. Because Donald Trump is Hitler and the Republican is our. Republicans are our enemy. Other way around also happens quite a bit. Democrats are our enemy. And it's about sending a supporter a video and making sure they donate more that day. It's about going viral on Twitter and it's about being as disrespectful as possible, doing things that would have been unheard of 10, 20 years ago because you want the attention, you want the news cycle to cover you that day, and you want people to know that you're still around. And I think it's sad to know that we actually applaud that behavior now
A
because isn't that the. And you pointed out during the break, isn't that the absolute definition of racism? Yes, I'll let you say, because I don't want. It was a great phrase and I don't want to steal it from you.
C
No, thank you. I don't even know because it was in the moment and it was genuine. It just, it infuriates me. When we're talking about anything to do with races in America, people try to separate us further and imply that you can't be angry at someone for doing something wrong because they're black. Because then you're generally just saying all black people are bad and you're scared to criticize one that makes you racist. I don't think when someone does something bad, I should ask if they were Jewish or white or black or anything else. Because then I am myself being an anti Semite or a racist. I like people who are good and I hate people who are bad. And I don't care where they come from or what they. They look like. And I think if you only think about race when deciding if you should critique someone for a murder, for example, that makes you the racist.
A
Is that. And again, I keep pushing this point, at some point, and I hate saying white America, but Americans need to come together. And if it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it's a damn racist duck.
C
It's a duck.
A
So. And that. And like I said, you. Like I said, what you had said was supporting someone because of the color of the skin, regardless of their character and what they've done, is the very definition of racism.
C
Right.
A
And it's an ugly part of America. And I really hope we start seeing results and people again. You have Platner, but he's no different than Crockett. Honestly. There's absolutely no other than their pigments.
C
And that he'd have more power because he'd be a senator.
A
He'd be a senator, yeah. Luckily, the good people of Texas said, I'll say to her, hell to the no. I'll put it out there like that for Crockett. You know what? Thank you so much for coming on today. Thank you. Hopefully it wasn't a complete letdown that you didn't have kill me, but at least you'd have to look down when you talked, so that had to be nice.
C
I'm not responding to that. Thank you for having me.
A
See, you're going to do great in politics. All right. Thank you so much. This is Tyrus on the Brian Kilmeade Show.
Episode Title: Why is the Media Giving Far-Left Radicals a Free Pass?
Date: June 11, 2026
Host: Tyrus (substitute-hosting for Brian Kilmeade)
Guest: Elizabeth Pipko, former GOP national spokeswoman
This episode of the Brian Kilmeade Show centers around perceived double standards in media and politics, especially concerning how far-left or progressive figures are treated compared to conservatives. The discussion uses recent sporting events, political controversies (notably involving "Graham Platner" and Jasmine Crockett), and contemporary American race and social dynamics to examine issues of media bias, race relations, political hypocrisy, and the evolving nature of public discourse.
Clip played: Graham Platner’s redemption speech as a Senate candidate after scandal.
Tyrus's reaction: Platner’s speech frames U.S. government as “insanely corrupt”; criticizes reliance on vague, emotionally manipulative language.
Elizabeth’s take: Claims far-left candidates win Democratic primaries by “spewing nonsense” and fostering a sense of victimhood and anger among voters.
The conversation is conversational but pointed, full of banter, sarcasm, and rhetorical questions—reflective of typical FOX News programming. Both Tyrus and Elizabeth Pipko are direct and often use humor to lampoon what they see as the excesses or hypocrisies of their political opponents.
This episode articulates deep frustration with what the hosts perceive as one-sided accountability in mainstream media and Democratic politics, frequently relating issues back to hypocrisy, identity politics, and lowered standards of public discourse. They call for a return to moral consistency, regardless of party, and contend that coddling far-left extremists or excusing bad behavior due to identity is fueling division in America.
Listeners unfamiliar with these controversies will take away the hosts’ thesis: demanding equal moral standards for all political actors is the only way to restore trust and integrity in public life.
