  • Bolling lambasts the Democrats’ “fixation” on Trump: “If there were an Olympic sport for talking about Trump, Democrats in Congress would sweep gold, silver and bronze” ([36:39]).

Summary Flow & Tone

The episode’s tone is challenging, sometimes incredulous and confrontational. Bolling relentlessly critiques perceived government inefficiency, media hypocrisy, and woke politics, while elevating issues he feels are being ignored or downplayed by mainstream channels: the price of oil, cartel violence, economic vulnerabilities, and the enduring fixation on Trump. The inclusion of raw on-the-ground reporting and interviews with policymakers gives urgency and diversity to the discussion.

For listeners wanting an unvarnished, right-leaning rundown of market news, global crises, and culture war skirmishes—all unapologetically framed as defending “American values and freedom”—this episode delivers, blending fact-heavy reports, direct soundbites, and aggressive editorializing.

rules and restrictions apply. All right folks, four o', clock, east coast markets close. Broaden wall right there. I'm telling you something. Wow. Wow, what a day. We woke up. Oil was moving up as we talked, abandoned yesterday after 4 o', clock, after the markets were closing, I was watching oil tick up in the aftermarket. Went from 92 up to 97 this morning up to 103 at one point. Stocks were being hammered because of it. And then Israel Netanyahu said, you know what, we'll talk to Lebanon. And also an oil ticked from 103 down to 98 or so and everything else started to move up. It's just the point is this, the point is everything is like linked to the oil market right now for whatever reason. Every product, every company, every forecast is linked to where is oil now? Where is oil going to be going forward? Gold was holding its own. Didn't go up, didn't go down. Just kind of again, gold's watching the oil market, Silver's watching bitcoins watching the oil market. It's just that's where we are in this mess right now. S P was up a good amount. 41, Dow up 275. Nasdaq up. Nice move on Nasdaq. Almost a full percentage point up187 in the oil market sitting around 9, 900 a barrel. Still, it just is not ready to go down. That said, I spent the morning putting together a presentation of the keynote speaker in the Money show in it's a Miami, Fort Lauderdale Money show where a lot of huge investors, a lot of traders come out, a lot of CEOs come out just to talk about what's going on in various markets. And I put this whole show together, talked about AI, I talked about the tech stocks, I talked about the safe havens, the utilities, the dividend stocks. I talked about oil. And I did about half an hour of Q and A every single from the CEOs to the traders to private equity guys, what's going on in oil? Where's oil going? Why is this, why is oil price, why are gas prices still high? Everything, everything is oil right now. So thank you to the Money show. The, the, the opportunity to speak to those folks. But I will tell you it confirmed Everything we've been saying here, keep your eye on the oil market. So. And we will. All right, let's take a look at this real quick.

[Oscar Elbl (Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez)]

This is our country of Mexico, right here. This cross behind me, it was from an abducted and kidnapped woman. Her name is Iris Ruby Torres. And on the cross it says, we love you all the way to the heaven, my dear little girl. Everything is going to be okay. I love you, sister. This is a body that was found on this mountain. As we have been saying that multiple bodies have been found on this area that is used by the organized crime, the cartel, to bury bodies on this particular site. This is Mexico. This is the cases that we have been talking about of missing and abducted people continuously in our country. This is the only way that you can get to a place with these collective groups or searcher groups to search for bodies. You have to have the local commission of searching of people right here. That is from. That's a dependency of the state of Baja California. And also you need to be accompanied by the National Guard with armed soldiers. That is the only way that these searcher groups will dare to search for bodies. Now, informative reports from this commission of searching of people. They have told us that behind here on these premises, on these mountain areas, just a couple of weeks ago, they found three bodies. These information that is coming to these particular dependencies are coming from informants that they are extremely tired of seeing the illicit and illegal activity of these criminal organizations burying bodies continuously on rural areas, on the mountain areas on the east side of the city of Tijuana.

[Eric]

Well, that was our own RAV border correspondent who a few weeks ago told us about the hundreds of bodies buried by the cartel in that area near the Akron Stadium in Mexico where the 2026 World cup will be held. Always happy to have Oscar Elbl. I'm going to call you Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez with us. Is that okay if I do that, Mr. Ramirez?

[Oscar Elbl (Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez)]

That is absolutely great, Eric. Thank you for the invitation.

[Eric]

Yes, sir. All right, tell us about what this is. So you tell us. There was a bunch of bodies that were being found buried and loved ones were going to see if those people were part of their families and they're going to have them tested to find out if that's where these missing people have gone.

[Oscar Elbl (Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez)]

Yes, this is the aggravated problem. This is the number one reason why the Trump administration has designated the cartels as terrorists. This is what they do, Eric. They kidnap, they abduct, they dismember, they decapitate, and then they Buried the bodies in rural areas. And then, you know, the other aggravated thing is they extract organs also. They have been studies that they have been extracting organs and burying the bodies and mountain sites. This area we visited yesterday and it wasn't. We wouldn't be able to go in there if it wasn't for armed security. And also the national guard accompanied us. This is a really high, high alert cartel activity place where they have found more than 18 bodies that they have been buried. And you know that picture right there, it is a woman that. It was found just a couple of weeks ago. Dismembered body. All of her organs have been extracted. It's just horrible what is happening in our country. From 2006 all the way to 2026, 130,000 people have gone missing due to cartel activity in the country of Mexico. And the current president of Mexico is saying that we are okay, that everything is okay, when it's completely the opposite. We have the World cup coming up in the next incoming months. And on that particular stadium that is going to be held, Estadio Azteca, a huge stadium, 130,000 capacity for fanatics. Imagine that stadium being filled with people that they have gone missing. That is exactly the same number that has been happening in the country of Mexico. Eric.

[Eric]

Oscar, that's not the first time you've brought us these, these areas where the cartels have buried multiple bodies. What's, what's going on? Is this a common thing? Do we know this is happening? But the media, I'm sorry, the military refuses to get involved. The police refuse to get involved.

[Oscar Elbl (Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez)]

This is the extreme corruption between the three levels of government in Mexico. They all know, they all are in cahoots and they are in the payroll. Because if they knew that these areas, they are in high alert of people going in there and burying bodies consistently. And huge alerts from informants, from particular anonymous calls to these collective groups and these searcher groups. Why the authority is not doing anything to just stop these people from going into these places or putting mass security over these areas. It is not only just in Tijuana, Eric, it's the whole country, the whole country of Mexico. It is a complete mass grave. We are about to do massive coverage. Real America's Voice News and Raven Espanol. We're about to do massive coverage over the country because this is a huge, huge topic. Under the government of Clyde Shanebound, 17,500 people in a year and six months have been gone missing. And she goes on her morning conferences and says everything is okay. We're not having a problem. Clearly somebody is being paid off. Clearly somebody is telling her to not, you know, escalate this activity to have massive security over the Mexican citizens. And clearly nobody's trying to do something to bring security to the Mexican people.

[Eric]

So, Oscar, you also brought us the El Metro was, was taken, was killed. El Manchi was. El Manchito is that we're calling the son of El Mancho who's now taking over the cartel. Is he as deadly and bloodthirsty as his father was?

[Oscar Elbl (Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez)]

Oh, yes, absolutely. And the one that it was speculated that she was going to lead, it was the sister that she was the eldest one. They called her a psychopath. It is exactly the same ideology. You know, these young men and these young men, Juan Carlos Valencia, better known as Cerro Tres03, he has been completely, you know, analyzed as being exactly as violent, exactly as radical, but more intelligent in terms to the capacity of owning territory, in terms of the capacity of knowing the market inside of the United States of America. And as we have said before, this was a complete strategy by the CJNG cartel because he is a US Born citizen in the part of California. So they did it on purpose. They know how they can use this to an advantage. And you know, I had, like I have always said to the American people, cartels, these people are not wearing sombreros and revolvers. These people are engineers, architects, doctors. They have a capacity to know the market in this. They treat this as a business.

[Eric]

Now, can't he, since he's a US Born here US Citizen, by the way, can't we FBI, CIA go in there and take him out?

[Oscar Elbl (Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez)]

Well, apparently due to international law and what the United States is, CIA cannot investigate a US Citizen just like that. They need to do a prior investigation and ultimately they need to reaffirm that he is clearly involved and he's directing.

[Eric]

Hold on a second. Let me, let me just throw something crazy at you, right? So Trump has declared the cartels of Venezuelan those boats bringing drugs over here as a threat. They're killing American citizens. I would say it's the same threat coming from El Manchito. Why, why can't he, why can't use the same theory of if you can take Venezuelans out bringing drugs over here, why not take out the cartel leader who's even more so a US Citizen? If you're not going to kill him, you can certainly extract them.

[Oscar Elbl (Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez)]

That will be immediately. The, the strategy that it could have be done, you know, just after El Mencho was murdered and it was captured they, they were informing that one of the daughters of El Mencho had a business in California. This is how much freedom they had to operate. So clearly there is a lot of corruption in the part of California. Clearly somebody is being paid off inside of the government in California. Clearly they know that the CJNG has a lot of power in this particular state and on these border towns. But the most, you know, the most concerning thing about it is that why they're letting him have this leadership right now of this criminal organization without the FBI, without the CIA just posting immediately about, you know, a bounty on him, just going after him. And I don't understand why it's taking it so long if they already know that he is the leader of this next, this criminal organization that by the way, at this particular moment, it is fractured. A lot of the leaders of that they were expecting to lead this organization. They are not pleased with this decision. But strategically for them it is more to put Juan Carlos Valencia El Menchito as a leader because he's a US Citizen.

[Eric]

Oscar, when, when you're doing this, this reporting and including the new new reporting for rev, are you safe?

[Oscar Elbl (Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez)]

Well, you know, Eric, as I was, you know, talking to our, you know, our greatest owners of real America's boys news, I always say it is not the same as eight, eight, nine years ago. The violence has escalated in Mexico greatly in Central America and South America. We always, if I have to move, I have always had to go with security and a couple of guys that are always with me, they're not on camera all the time. They never on camera all the time, but they're there. And you know, that's the only way that we can go around this and that's the only way that we can inform. But after hours when we go back home, you never know what the activity might, might come. You know, we had a couple of guys that they were armed, that they try to enter my premises, you know, and those are the kind of things that we are in danger consistently.

[Eric]

So you're, you're going to be. I know. Oscar, we have video the two armed guys trying to get into your, into where your family was staying at the time. It's very worried about you. We are, we. The reporting's amazing. It's incredible. But now you're going to go on searches with citizens or dual citizens or citizens looking for relatives and loved ones with real America's voice. I hope you're well, well armed security up, so to speak.

[Oscar Elbl (Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez)]

Well, we got God on our side. That's the best armory that we got, Eric. So we're positive that everything is going to be great.

[Eric]

And Wesson wouldn't be a bad sidecar alongside.

[Oscar Elbl (Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez)]

I cannot own one over.

[Eric]

Right, we're gonna leave it there.

[Eric Bolling]

Oscar.

[Eric]

Be safe, my friend, please, and keep reporting. It's great stuff. Thank you.

[Oscar Elbl (Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez)]

Thank you so much, Eric. It's always a pleasure.

[Eric]

All right, folks, take a peek at this. At some point, you realize something's off.

[Eric Bolling]

Operation Epic Fury was a historic and

[Oscar Elbl (Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez)]

overwhelming victory on the battlefield.

[Eric]

A capital V military victory by any measure. Epic Fury decimated Iran's military and rendered

[Oscar Elbl (Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez)]

it combat ineffective for years to come.

[Eric]

You see, in less than 40 days, one of our combatant command's central command, CENTCOM, using less than 10% of America's

[Oscar Elbl (Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez)]

total combat power, dismantled One of the

[Eric Bolling]

world's largest militaries, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism proved utterly incapable of

[Oscar Elbl (Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez)]

defending itself, its people, or its territory.

[Eric]

We untied just a fraction of our strength, and Iran suffered a devastating military defeat. Well, that was a look at Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who gave us an update on Operation Epic Fury yesterday. My next guest says what happened in Iran was 47 years in the making, overdue. Back in the show to discuss is the congressman for the great state of Florida. This one, Mr. Randy Fine. Congressman, President Trump played hardball with the Iranian regime. Are you surprised they agreed to the cease fire?

[Eric Bolling]

No. I mean, because President Trump made it very clear they would either submit or they would die. And most people prefer to stay alive. So they made the right call. And I think President Trump's going to ultimately get what we all want. We've destroyed their navy, we've destroyed their air force, we've destroyed their missile shield. Now we have to get the final piece of the puzzle, which is eliminate the nuclear program and eliminate the capability to build a missile, to deliver that nuclear weapon to the United States. That's what the focus is over the next two weeks, and hopefully we will get the job finally done.

[Eric]

Well, you know, J.D. vance is in Islamabad, going to have, I guess, some discussions with the Iranians, with the Pakistani people as well. Pakistanis have a lot to. A lot to lose if the Strait of Hormuz doesn't reopen. It just feels. Congressman, I'm watching this. It just feels like we're kind of going in there at the mercy of Iran versus going in there with a heavy hand because we can obliterate their citizenship if we wanted to. But it just seems like we're playing on a softball with these guys. What do you think? Am I wrong?

[Eric Bolling]

No, I think that may be how the mainstream media wants to make it sound. But let's look at the situation. Iran's military is largely destroyed. We can do whatever we want. There's no question we could blow up every power plant and bridge in the country at a moment's notice if we wanted to. Number two is, while the Strait of Hormuz was closed, that certainly hurt the world. But how do we think Iran gets all of the oil it sells to market through the Strait of Hormuz? So their economy has been zeroed out during this conflict. No one seems to talk about that. So I don't believe Iran is in a strong position. They need it open for themselves. And whatever regime is left wants to stay alive and I think that, you know, giving up the nuclear weapon, giving up the ability to deliver it to the United States, I think that will bring this in for a landing.

[Eric]

So who gets this? By the way, Straightforward moves is technically an international waterway. I'm. And who gets that? Because Rand seems to think that the only way they get a 10 point plan through or a 15 point plan through, which is what I'm hearing lately, is if one of them is that they control the straightforward moves and they can charge tolls in the straight. I'm just wondering why that isn't just a deal breaker right off the bat.

[Eric Bolling]

Well, look, President Trump's a negotiator. He's going to put all options on the table and sort it through. We will see what happens. But Iran needs the Strait of Hormuz more than America needs the Strait of Hormuz. America has the ability to be self reliant on our own oil. We don't need Iranian oil in order for our economy to work. It's the rest of the world that does. But Iran needs the Strait of Hormuz open so its economy can function. You know, you don't see a lot of stuff at the grocery store or Walmart that says made in Iran. They're not really an export economy. What they export is oil and they export it through the Strait of Hormuz. So when it's closed, it destroys their economy. They have far more to gain from it being reopened than we do. We deal with the inconvenience of higher gas prices. They deal with the inconvenience of no money at all for their country. And again, I think that those will be the contours of the negotiation that's going to happen this weekend.

[Eric]

Exactly my point. I've been making this point for 40 days now. Let them have it. Let them. Let him have it. What do we care? I mean, there's some helium that comes through there, some petrochemicals, but the vast majority of what we do we either produce ourselves or we buy from Mexico or Canada and maybe Venezuela. Now let's do this. Bring it back home a little bit. You've introduced the disqualifying Dual Loyalty act very fast. I love this thing. And I'll tell you why after you tell us what it is and what you're proposing.

[Eric Bolling]

Well, you know, for years people have said to me, dual citizens shouldn't be able to serve in Congress. And it makes sense, right? How can you serve two masters if you swear an oath to the United States and you make that same oath to Any other country in the world. How can you come to Congress and we know that you're focused on the United States. My bill would be simple. It says if you are a citizen of another country, in addition to being a citizen of the United States, you cannot serve in Congress. One citizen, one loyalty to the United States.

[Eric]

And I looked it up. There are 26 members of, of con in the House of Representatives right now in 2026. There are 26 people Congress, people who've been, who were born in other countries. I assume they kept their citizenship so they'd have to denounce one or the other. You can't be a congressperson if you don't have a U.S. citizenship. So you'd have to lose your, your original place of birth citizenship, is that right?

[Eric Bolling]

Well, today you can. And by the way, that list that you found, that's just estimates. Nobody actually knows how many dual citizens there are in Congress because you don't have to disclose it. So it could be more, it could be less. Some of those people may have already renounced it. We just don't know. But what my, what my bill would say is moving forward, you would have to renounce your citizenship. You could only be a citizen of one country because think about it. When you take the citizenship oath, you swear an oath of loyalty. How can you be loyal to the United States if you've sworn a loyalty oath to another country?

[Eric]

Well, Ilhan Omar has said on several occasions she works for the people of Somalia. She, she, she isn't afraid to admit it. Your bill would, would end that. Either get the hell out of here or, or renounce your Somalian citizenship. I have a hunch she wouldn't do that. Sir, is this one of those things that if you get it through the House, because you have a majority, it goes to the Senate and you can't get 60 over there and, and Thune is going to refuse to bring this one up to filibuster this one. Kill the filibuster for this one.

[Eric Bolling]

I suspect so. But we can't stop proposing good legislation because the Senate doesn't want to do their job. I did not come to Washington D.C. to preserve made up traditions that were developed in the 1970s about the US Senate. I came because of the traditions that were created in 1776. And so I'm going to continue to put forward great legislation to advance the country.

[Eric]

You know, that's what we need to do. Just keep putting up. And folks, this is really important. You got what, seven, eight months until the midterm elections. This is the moment to get as much of it. If it doesn't even make it to the President's desk, at least you've staked the claim and you're willing to show that John Thune is unwilling to make to push these things through the way that by the way, the way Democrat senators will do if they get the gavel back or will do when they get the gavel back is nothing's forever. Senator Congressman hey almost promote you Congressman. Really good having you on. We'll see you again soon and keep up this great work. Immigration is a hot topic and you're you're doing God's work on that. Thank you. Thanks buddy.

[Eric Bolling]

Appreciate it.

[Eric]

All right folks, we'll be back in two and a half minutes.

When I was diagnosed, all I wanted

[Eric]

to do was get back to work

[Eric Bolling]

I wanted to get back to that trajectory that I was on prior to the cancer. I always felt like I had value.

[Eric]

I had a place on the team

[Eric Bolling]

to just be treated with dignity.

[Martha Stewart]

It means everything.

[Eric]

Research shows there is a significant connection between the ability to continue to work and cancer recovery. We can make work a better place

[Martha Stewart]

for healing, learn more and sign the [e-mail] we've been doing mornings the same way for a long time now. Hit the snooze button, hit the snooze button again. Roll out of bed eventually, then race to get out the door like it's some kind of obstacle course. But mornings should start strong. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day after all. And that's where silk protein comes in. It's a plant based beverage with 13 grams of complete plant protein and 50% less sugar than dairy milk. So you're not just starting your day, you're starting it better. Blend it into your smoothie, mix it into your coffee, pour it over cereal, or just drink it straight when you're running late but still trying to make good choices. Ah, because however you mix it, those extra 13 grams of complete plant protein are the little bit of extra you need. A little extra readiness, a little extra boost, a little extra oomph. So let's mix up the old routine from here on out. Let's start our morning strong. Silk protein feel plenty good.

[Eric]

Well, here's a little fun game we can play at home tonight. Name one. Just one thing Congress has done in the last 10 years that actually made your life better. Not a press conference, not a new hashtag. Certainly not this.

[Oscar Elbl (Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez)]

Hey Congressman, trying to help you.

[Eric Bolling]

What the is up with Trump?

[Oscar Elbl (Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez)]

Always chickening out on tariffs.

[Eric]

Anything else?

[Oscar Elbl (Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez)]

Nope, that's it.

[Eric]

Wasting your taxpayer dollars doing that kind of crap. Not a dramatic reading of the Constitution on cable news. Although to be fair, many of them have obviously forgotten about the Constitution altogether. So a reading may not be the worst thing that they may do. But name one thing. We'll wait. Think about it. An actual result. Go ahead. But wait. You can't. Well, maybe you can, but I'd like to hear it. Yeah, that's what I thought though. Let's just ask the very simple, almost offensively reasonable question, which is, what has Congress actually achieved over the past decade? We're talking trillions of your tax dollars. Trillions salaries, staff committees, hearings, fights, motorcade, security details, A full time job with part time results at best. That's being generous because from where most Americans are Sitting. It looks like Congress has spent the last 10 years doing just three things. Grandstanding, finger pointing, and auditioning for their next cable news hit.

[Eric Bolling]

What do you say to those critics who argue that both ICE and Border Patrol are already set with funding millions and millions of dollars because of President Trump's so called big beautiful bill that passed months ago? So Democrats just held up this legislation for what? For political posturing, is that right? Well, that's not fair at all. We held it up because we wanted, as I mentioned before, to reform ICE and cpb, which are lawless. The American people are totally on our side, I think by 2 to 1 or close to that. They want it reformed and that's what we're pushing for.

[Eric]

Well, to be honest, yes. They've passed some bills, big ones, expensive ones, flashy names that don't really apply. The infrastructure bill or its real full name, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. It actually had so little to do with actual infrastructure, they just started referring to it as the jobs act, even though it did very little of that too. Later, Joe Biden would finally admit that it was inappropriately named and was all about climate change. Not jobs, not infrastructure. Turns out when leftist politicians say infrastructure, what they really mean is here's a little for roads and maybe a bridge and a whole lot of things for everything else they couldn't pass on their own pet projects, climate add ons, social programs tucked not so neatly into a bill that sound like it's about fixing potholes. But it was $1.2 trillion trillion dollars. So what did that spending actually do? Are airports running smoothly? Are roads dramatically better? Is your commute easier? Is your cost of living lower? Or are you still paying more, waiting longer and getting less? Because for all the trillions spent, the everyday experience of being an American hasn't exactly gotten smoother. Don't worry, because Congress, well, they'll hold a hearing about that. And here's where it gets really interesting. Because when Congress isn't passing bloated bills, what are they focused on? Not inflation, not national debt, Border policy, no way. Public safety. Now. Jasmine Crockett's eyelashes.

[Martha Stewart]

Well, you don't want to talking about. I think your fake eyelashes are messing up.

[Eric]

Order. Mr. Chairman,

[Eric Bolling]

order of your committee.

[Eric]

Order.

[Martha Stewart]

Please understand your ruling. If someone on this committee then says starts talking about somebody's bleach blonde, bad built Bush body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?

[Eric]

What now instead we get endless debates about niche issues that only affect very small slices of the population. Elevated, amplified and treated as if they're defining the crises of our time. Nothing to help the majority of Americans who are just trying to pay rent and buy groceries without needing a second mortgage. Just uselessness. Like AOC melting down about men who dress like women because being banned from using women's bathrooms at the Capitol.

[Martha Stewart]

It's disgusting. And everybody, no matter how you feel on this issue, should reject it completely. What are they doing? They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can make a buck and send a text and fundraise off an email. They're not doing it to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross.

[Eric]

Thank you, thank you. But above all, Congress, well, Democrat Congress, at least they found their true calling. And that is of course, Donald Trump. If there were an Olympic sport for talking about Trump, the Democrats in Congress would sweep gold, silver and bronze every hearing, every panel, every Sunday show. And it's their absolute destruction. Don't just take it from me. Listen things.

[Eric Bolling]

We've really, kind of really lost our connection with American voters in ways and I think we can't just be, well, Trump is always wrong or, or that we're going to set the country on fire or whatever. That's just not true either.

[Eric]

Trump is a threat. Trump is a danger. Trump is the end of democracy as we know it. Playbook Democrat insanity. Look, you can agree or disagree with the President, that's fine, but you can't spend 10 years doing just that and only that. Just the screaming about one man that's not governing in any way, shape or form. That's called a fixation. It's called a derangement syndrome. Investigations, impeachments, hearings. Hearings about hearings. At one point, Congress felt less like a legislative body and more like a 247 courtroom drama written by theater people who failed out of screenwriting school. And yet through all of that, did your life improve? Did anything actually get better or get fixed? Or was it just unbearable noise?

[Eric Bolling]

You asked me earlier, what's the leader of the Democratic Party right now? I would say it's TDS that is that's driving the conversation. If he supports, you know, he could come out for ice cream and lazy Sundays and now suddenly Democrats would hate it. We would want to vote it down.

[Eric]

So all just noise. Four years of sir naps a lot. All stumbles, confusion, lies and wincing, all cloaked under the massive Democrat curtain of COVID ups. That was literally their entire job. For four years it felt like the constant blue factory of visiting any show that would have them on so they could grit their teeth through a web of lies about how fit and fiddle Joe Biden was. The opposite of stepping in, asking hard questions, having our best interest at their heart. Wagons circled around that man, defending one of the worst lies perpetrated upon the American people. Defended, deflected, protected with a level of loyalty and aggression that, imagine this would have really, really been useful if applied to, I don't know, say, fixing the country. Because you see, it's not just that Congress isn't doing enough. And again, I'm speaking to Democrats and RINOs here. They're doing the wrong things too. They're doing the wrong things very efficiently. They're excellent at fake outrage, world class messaging elite at political theater, but actual results, nada. It's like hiring a construction crew that shows up every day, argues about who's in charge, who's going to dig the damn hole, films TikTok videos about the blueprint, and never actually digs a hole. But as long as the transgenders get their days of visibility, then we're okay, right? Democrats. So here's the checklist. Stronger economy? Debatable. Lower national debt? Not even close. More unity? Ha. Absolutely not. More trust in government. Not now, not then, not going forward. And yet they want you to believe that the biggest threat to your life is not inflation, not spending, not dysfunction. But the guy they've been talking about non stop for a decade.

[Eric Bolling]

That whole civilization forming the presidency died with the elevation of Donald Trump to the presidency a second time.

[Eric]

Keep them scared. That's right. Because if they can keep you afraid, then you might not notice how little they've actually done. That's what they do. Keep them scared. Go on every TV show you can and scare the bejesus out of us. Because then you won't realize how little they've been doing. Maybe the real question isn't whether Trump is the problem. Maybe it's whether a Congress that can talk endlessly but deliver nothing is the problem. We'll be back in 120, 100, 150 seconds, America. We're entering our 250th year and the direction of this country is being decided right now. In our culture, in our economy, and who we choose to support matters more than ever. Most wireless companies don't care who you are or what you believe. They just want your money. Patriot Mobile is different. For more than 12 years, they've stood with Americans who believe freedom is worth defending. Funding the Christian conservative movement when others stayed silent and here's the deal. You don't have to give up quality or service when you switch to Patriot Mobile. They deliver premium priority access on all three major U.S. networks. So you get the same or better coverage than you have today. Think switching is a hassle? It's just not. Keep your number, keep your phone or upgrade their 100% US based support team. Get activate you in just minutes. Still paying off a device, Patriot Mobile even offers a contract buyout. This is a defining year. We must work together to save our country. Go to patriotmobile.com rav or call 972 Patriot. Use the promo code RAV for a free month of service. That's patriot mobile.com RAV or 972 Patriot and switch to today. All right. No matter how you feel about the situation in Iran, one thing remains true throughout and that is the mainstream medias, the legacy media's handling of it all. The hypocrisy, the overblown rhetoric at times and all of it tinged with the massive heaping and helping of Trump derangement syndrome. And when you see the receipts, it's also very clear. Like CNN's Aaron Burnett talking about Iran's nuclear capabilities, or lack thereof.

[Martha Stewart]

This timeline of Iran being a few weeks away from a nuclear bomb is in direct contradiction to CNN's reporting. According to U.S. intelligence assessments, Iran is three years away from being able to produce a nuclear weapon if they wanted to. So the facts on Iran getting a nuclear weapon do not bear out the claim. At the heart of what has put

[Eric Bolling]

the world on the verge of world

[Martha Stewart]

war, Iran's uranium may still be intact and In Iranian control, 408 kg of it now enough theoretically according to experts, to make nine nuclear weapons only set back the Iranian nuclear program by months. We got to call it like it is.

[Eric Bolling]

It's a big deal.

[Martha Stewart]

Sources tell CNN there is no US Intelligence that Iran is building missiles that could soon hit the United States. That's a really big deal.

[Eric]

Aaron Burnett, meet Aaron Burnett. Meet the other Aaron Burnett. Same woman, three different occasions on the same network saying three very different things. Hypocrisy, folks. That's three face hypocrisy. No matter what the President does though, the core truth here for the left and the media they own is and always has been that his presidency is detrimental to the country. That his presidency means the end of civilization as we know it. The same people who thought it was just fine to have a dementia ridden, lifelong corrupt, corrupt politician at the helm with his hands. All of the nuclear codes, mind you, Just like Lawrence o', Donnell, hard at work peddling fear mongering propaganda for Ms. Now with a little history lesson to boot.

[Eric Bolling]

It could not be more tragically clear now that a whole civilization has already died. The whole civilization, beginning with the model of the British Parliament, leading to the first independent American government formed under the Articles of Confederation, followed by the colonies constitution that wrote the presidency into existence, and nearly 250 years of the American presidency. All of that, that whole civilization forming the presidency, died with the elevation of Donald Trump to the presidency a second time.

[Eric]

When he first started, I thought he's talking about Iran. The whole civilization died or was about to be extinguished. But apparently he was talking about Donald Trump. And he was so dramatic, wasn't he? Wasn't he dramatic? Everything's over, folks, because of Donald Trump. I just imagine Gavin Newsom, by the way, sitting at home brushing through his combing through his greasy gelled hair for the hundredth time that day, wondering why it seems like his wife is purposely trying to sabotage his reputation and his chances for the White House in 28. I swear, every time she speaks, woke decibel rises in the room.

[Martha Stewart]

Trust me, I'm not a fan of Pam Bondi nor Kristi Noem, but I need to call out that it's no surprise to me that the first two prominent people pushed out of this administration were women. Let me explain the conservative women that Trump hand picks who align themselves with an agenda that can controls women, restricting our rights, limiting our autonomy, and pushing us back into this straight jacket of femininity that is only in service of men. There's a familiar pattern here. Women are brought in packaged mar a Lago style and lifted up as long as they commit to wholeheartedly serve the interests of the patriarch at the top. Now, it looks like power or proximity to power with a big title, but it never comes with job security and protection. There's no secure place inside this handpicked patriarchal body that systemically disrespects, devalues and discriminates against women and girls. And this is where complicity comes in. Because when you align yourself with that value system, with a leader who has publicly devalued women, degraded them, and been found liable of abusing women, well, guess what? You're going to be the first to go.

[Eric]

I mean, you want to go back to that? That is the woke DEI crap of the last two Democrat presidencies. First, Obama started with the everything's racial and then Biden started with you better be. You better have your children okay. To be gay and lesbian and transgender, or else you're a bigot. We had enough of that. And by the way, she goes by the first. I'm sorry, the first partner of California if elected, Gavin Newsom. She would be the first partner instead of the first lady of the United States. These people are nuts. Every day she's more woke. In fact, Jennifer Newsom also has a very interesting methodology for confusing and grooming her children just so she can cement her status as America's most annoying liberal woman.

[Martha Stewart]

I've given our boys dolls, even if they tear the head off. I've given them dolls to learn that care and caregiving is not just an activity that's reserved for women, but that it's also an activity that is a responsibility of men. What I've done with both my daughters and my sons is if I'm reading a book and the protagonist is a male, I just change the he to a she. And it just normalizes. For my sons in particular, it's not even. I don't even just do it for my girls. I do it for my sons because I want them to see that women can be the center of a story, that women matter, that women are interesting.

[Eric]

No offense here, but if my mom as a kid gave me a doll, I would have given it to the dog as a chew toy. Just saying. So when it comes to the things Newsom's wife says, we've already shown just how deep into woke. Woke world Jennifer truly is slamming the so called patriarchy scrambling gender so she can truly confuse her own children and make sure they're ill prepared for the real world. But one of the latest Jennifer isms to come out into the fold is actually quite shocking. Remember when Gavin Newsom thought he could relate to black Americans by claiming he can't read? I'm not, you know, I'm not trying to impress you. I'm just trying to impress upon you.

[Eric Bolling]

I'm like you.

[Eric]

I'm no better than you. You know, I'm a 960sat guy. Well, his first lady. I'm sorry, his first partner seems to believe that she can relate to black Americans by saying that she killed her sister. And yes, by the way, she actually did. This, folks, is real.

[Martha Stewart]

Matt had to be very raw when we interviewed the. The young men who were juvenile offenders in San Quentin. I told them about my own loss, where my. My. I lost my older sister a few days before my seventh birthday. And I blame myself for her death. And I share that because that they ultimately were accused of Committing these violent crimes and sentenced for life. And I think it shocked them that this, you know, blonde lady who was, you know, the interviewing them had a similar story, was perhaps in the wrong place at the wrong time and. But wasn't punished the way they were because clearly it was an accident. But theirs was probably an accident too. So anyway, I share that just because I it. I guess, you know, I quite enjoy spending time with people and being real and unmasking and showing them that it's safe to unmask themselves.

[Eric Bolling]

Beautiful.

[Oscar Elbl (Oscar de las Noticias Ramirez)]

Beautiful.

[Eric]

You know what's really gross about that? Listen. Her sister, two little girls, she was six at the time, playing with on a golf cart. Her older sister, I believe Stacia, was behind the golf cart and somehow went into reverse. She killed the sister. That's. That is tragic. That is horrible. But to somehow say that a tragic accident as a six year old is relatable to people who are in San Quentin. Murderers, rapists, who actively did something, who were convicted of perpetrating a crime. Not into six year old. And you people are disgusting. Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey, remember her? She gave Trump the hard time once and kind of paid for the. That paid that price politically. Maura Healey clearly thinks her constituents are all clueless individuals. But I take personal offense to this nonsense she put out, even though I don't live in that stupid blues of blue states and never would, by the way. But when Healy, whose state has the second highest energy prices in the country using donuts. She used donuts to explain it all. It's time for someone to step in and help this woman.

[Martha Stewart]

Energy bills are high. Everyone can see that. So lowering your energy bills is my top priority. Now, how does that happen? That's a little more complicated. So let's talk about energy in a way that everyone understands with munchkins. Picture this. You're at work or school, wherever it's 9am and no one's eaten breakfast. Someone shows up with one of these. Demand is high. Everyone wants a munchkin or two or three, but we've only got 25. That's where we're headed with energy. So how do we fix that? See this glazed munchkin? That's when Massachusetts already has an offshore wind project lowering our energy.

[Eric]

We got to come out of that. That's a minute and a half of her talking how donuts relate to prices at the prices of the someone she needs. Economics 101. It was a ridiculous comparison. I wasn't going to waste any more of your time. Always interesting though. To hear how the other side thinks. And when you do hear it, you start to wonder about the people walking down the street next to you, driving in the lane next to yours. They're among us. They live among us. They live their lives supposedly doing jobs and paying their taxes. But when you hear something like this, you wonder how they actually make out in the world. Survive.

[Martha Stewart]

I can't stop thinking about how grass lawns are racist and, like, based in white supremacy. If that doesn't make sense, that's okay. I guess it seems really obvious to me. It's. It's really upsetting. Bring back weeds. Bring back clover yards. Look, can we just. Can. Can anything just be okay in its natural state? Or do we just have to whitewash everything, make it a competition and use. Use it as a sign of your worth as a human being in society. Like, can we just have weeds?

[Eric]

Lawns are racist. I leave it at that. No more explanation than that woman claiming lawns, grass, lawns, racist. Take a look at this. At some point, you realize something's off. You're working, you're paying attention, you're doing what you're supposed to be doing, and it's still just not adding up. That's the moment right there. But most people ignore it. I don't. On the Edge. We break down what's actually happening, why prices aren't what they seem to be, why healthy isn't always healthy. In fact, sometimes something labeled healthy is actually killing you.

And I spent some time on War Room with him, and we're breaking some real, real interesting ground. Steve, we spoke this morning. A lot going on.

[Eric Bolling]

Bowling. Hang. Hang on. Eric, Eric, Eric, Eric. Before we get into the series stuff, because there's only serious stuff with you who select who Makes your music selections. Is that you or your producer? Because I want to figure out who to blame. What, like, are you inviting me up to your apartment to, like, see your. See your etchings? What is, what's the music in the middle?

[Eric]

Late afternoon network here, bro.

[Eric Bolling]

You got to keep them on the edge of this late in the afternoon. They gotta be on the edge of the seats.

[Eric]

You can't be doing the, The.

[Eric Bolling]

The classic Spanish guitar.

[Eric]

Cole, can you give him a little stranglehold or a little Ted Nugent or, Or. Or Drew, if that's you. Is it better?

[Eric Bolling]

There we go.

[Eric]

All right, I'm jacked now. I'm ready for Liquor Room now. That's a good point. We'll take that. We'll take that under advisement. You want to talk a$, shall we?

[Eric Bolling]

Well, I want to know your perspective of what's happened today. This is one of the reasons we tune into your show beforehand. But Bloomberg and I've got. Actually, Philip Patrick's coming on a day early because Bloomberg's got a huge piece about how everything that's happened here in the strait in the Persian Gulf and about oil is going to permanently have an impact on the dollar as the prime reserve currency. And I'm going to talk to Philip about it, but I wanted to get your thoughts.

[Eric]

So here's what happens now. They're talking about either using a. Another currency, the Chinese yuan or Bitcoin, to pay for this trans. Whatever. They're talking about tolling ships through the Gulf, which is insane to begin with. But the point is it's. It's a move to devalue down, to take the petrodollar off the currency used to trade dollars, and frankly, just about every international commodity. So you got to go to the US you buy dollars, whatever currency you're from, and use those dollars and make these transactions, even if it's not us that's transacted. So Iran wants to trade with Iran. Trading with Israel can imagine that it would be done in dollars. Once you remove the dollar as the currency that everyone uses, there's no reason for these people to buy the dollar. And what happens when you don't have buyers, when you don't have demand? It sinks. It sinks and sinks. And these idiots in D.C. are supplying more and more dollars with the Treasury. It sinks. And when the dollar goes down, prices go up because same amount of dollars don't buy that same amount of commodity anymore. You need more of those because they're weaker. And so more dollars means higher prices, higher prices means inflation. And then the vicious cycle happens when the Fed has to combat higher inflation by raising interest rates, which tanks everything except things like oil, gold, so oil goes even higher. It's a vicious cycle.

Let me. Eric, hang over a second. Just hold you for a minute, if you would do into our show, opening paragraph of Bloomberg. The US wars. The US's war with Iran has put a potentially irreversible strain on the global trading system, with gold reserves having eclipsed central bank holdings. Evaluation adjusted dollar assets for the first time in several decades. Your thoughts on that?

[Eric]

Yeah, because of what they're doing. Central banks around the world. That means the Chinese, the CCP's central bank. Every country has a central bank. We have a Fed. Right. So they all are. They're hoarding gold instead of dollars because.
