Jamie Kennedy
Are you asking these finalists to pledge.
Eric Bowling
To lower rates if they become the chair?
Donald Trump
I'll be asking questions and I'll be able to figure it out.
Dr. Peter McCullough
We have three countries sending drugs to the U.S. mexico, Venezuela and Colombia. And you talk to the president of Mexico.
Donald Trump
You already talked to Nicolas Maduro.
Dr. Peter McCullough
Have you considered talking to the president.
Eric Bowling
Of Colombia, who you call a drug dealer?
Donald Trump
No, I haven't really thought too much about him. He's been fairly hostile to the United States. I haven't given him a lot of thought. He is. He's going to have himself some big problems if he doesn't wise up.
Colombia is producing a lot of drugs. They have cocaine factories that they make cocaine, as you know, and they sell it right into the United States. So he better wise up or he'll be next. He'll be next, too. And I hope he's listening. He's going to be next.
Eric Bowling
Yes, Mr. President.
Donald Trump
Because we don't like people when they kill people and they sell drugs. They kill them in the United States. And Colombia is a major manufacturer of drugs, meaning cocaine in particular, as you know.
Host/Announcer
Thank you, Mr. President.
Donald Trump
Thank you.
Host/Announcer
Multiple House Republicans in recent weeks, days have been critical of Speaker Mike Johnson. I wanted to ask you if you're still confident in the speaker to keep his conference together ahead of the midterms. And how often are you speaking about him?
Donald Trump
I think Mike Johnson is great. Had a majority of 2, 3, 4. Then back to 2. We actually had one. So we were one heart attack away from disaster. So everybody prayed for everybody's help. I think Mike Johnson has been a fantastic speaker. I mean, a very hard job, because, you know, when you have a small majority and we got the biggest bill in the history of our country approved. The great big beautiful bill. I call it the great big beautiful bill. There are different names for it, but to me, it's a great big beautiful bill because it gives the biggest tax cuts in history, the biggest regulation cuts in history. No tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime. I think Mike Johnson's been a great speaker. I think few people could have done that.
Host/Announcer
John, do you want to see another big package move through Capitol Hill the next year or.
Donald Trump
Well, we don't need it because we got everything. You know, this was supposed to be 17 bills.
I think it was my idea. But, you know, with the concurrence of people that have done this a long time, and I said, why don't we make it one bill? Because it's very hard to get things approved by the Democrats. And it worked out because there was something good for everybody. If we would have done 17 bills, we wouldn't have gotten a third of them approved. It was something great for everybody in the one, you know, the great big beautiful bill.
Dr. Peter McCullough
Yes.
Eric Bowling
Good to see you, Mr. President.
Donald Trump
I could follow up on the event last night.
Eric Bowling
Pennsylvania, Huge crowd turned out there.
Donald Trump
It seemed like Rally Trump was in prime condition last night. You enjoyed it? Can you just give me your thoughts on that then?
Guest/Interviewer
I do have a question on the gold card.
Donald Trump
Last night was amazing in Pennsylvania. We had a tremendous crowd. It was, like, freezing. And the people, the thousands of people on the sidewalk trying to get in on the streets. It was an amazing evening, actually, and I think people really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. You could tell that. I can tell that you enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. I really. Well, you know, it's easy to enjoy when you do a good job and, you know, when you can talk about things in a very positive way. It's hard not to say we have potentially the greatest economic boom in the history of the world. It's being built right now, and when it opens, there will be nothing ever in history like what's happening in our country. And, you know, Washington, D.C. is safe, and Memphis is. Now look at Memphis. Crime is down 60% in Memphis. We just got there three weeks ago, and we're going to have New Orleans. New Orleans was. We Just sent a group of people there and crime is down 28, 28% in about three days. No, we do a good job, you know, and these are central casting people. These people are. They're very tough people. If they have to be, they're very good. They're great patriots, but they are the toughest and.
They don't take any nonsense. And every place we go, we knock down drugs. Too bad that we're not invited more into Chicago because we could save Chicago very quickly. But even that, we're doing it on a minimal basis until at some point we'll just go in and do what we have to do. If the governor doesn't wise up, they got a bad governor, they have a bad mayor. I would say they're both incompetent. But it's hard to believe that people don't want to stop crime. We could stop the crime in Chicago in about two weeks. Go ahead.
Eric Bowling
My question is on the gold card.
Donald Trump
I apologize if I missed the answer to this. Is there a limit to how many.
Eric Bowling
Gold cards these companies can buy?
Donald Trump
Howard? So the program is part of the already approved visas. So we're just going to have great.
Eric Bowling
People come into this country.
Donald Trump
The average green card holder earned less.
Guest/Interviewer
Than the average American.
Donald Trump
So they were more likely to be on the dole and be on our assistance programs than average Americans. And the idea is from President Trump, he wants to raise it, bring in.
Eric Bowling
The best people into America.
Donald Trump
So same visas, but now just full.
Eric Bowling
Of the best people.
Donald Trump
Basically, it's a green card, but much better, much more powerful, a much stronger path. And a path is a big deal. Have to be great people, but much stronger path. And it also, in addition to that, helps companies, because not only for companies, but if IBM gets somebody number one in his class at the Wharton School of Finance, and you're dying to get the person, but you can't guarantee the person stays in the country because oftentimes they'll say, I'm sorry, sir, you got to get out of here. You have 24 hours.
Eric Bowling
Right.
Donald Trump
And you say, where's my employee? Now, IBM can buy a card, and that employee can be there for essentially a very long period of time.
It's so needed for the companies, you know, it's needed for others. But really, it's basically a much better form of green card. And you can't get green cards. They are impossible to get. This is much better than a green card.
Eric Bowling
Yeah.
Dr. Peter McCullough
So did you tell Bruce Blakeman not.
Donald Trump
To run for governor or that she.
Eric Bowling
Should think about not running for governor.
Donald Trump
I haven't spoken to. First of all, he's a friend, she's a friend. These are two great people running in a way. I hate to see them running against each other. I hope they're not going to be damaging each other, but Elise is fantastic and Bruce is. They're two fantastic people. And.
I always hate it when two very good friends of mine are running, and I hope there's not a lot of damage. Then sometimes it works the other way. The victor ends up being much stronger because of it. A lot of times that happens in politics.
Well, I think in New York, we have a convention toward the end of February, and I think you'll know pretty much at the end of February what's going to happen. And I'll probably have to, you know, do what I want to do, but I hope he's running now, as you know, and she's running. We have two very talented people. Either one should win.
Against the Democrats.
Predicting that you're going to fire this one or you're going to get rid of that one.
Host/Announcer
Of all your Cabinet members, who would.
Eric Bowling
You perceive as the most under attack?
Donald Trump
Well, I think my Cabinet's fantastic. I read the same stories that I'm unhappy with this one or that one, and I'm not. I think the Cabinet's done a great job. I read a story that I was unhappy with Pete because he was attacking drug dealers. I said, that's not exactly right. I would say very much the opposite. Pete Hegseth has been phenomenal. I read a story recently. I'm unhappy with Christie. I'm so happy with her. I mean, we have a closed border. We have a border that's the best border in the history of our country. Why would I be unhappy? She's fantastic. Actually. No, we have a fantastic Cabinet, really fantastic Cabinet. I mean, Lutnick I'll have to think about no more. Can't have everything. Can't have everything.
He's doing great. Well, Howard's done really well and Scott's done really well. We have just a fantastic Cabinet. I'll tell you who's doing a great job, is Linda McMahon. We're bringing education back to the states where it belongs. Education is going to. We can't do any worse than we're doing right now. Let the states run it. You know, if you go back to some of our states that are run so well, so good, I would say 40 of them, and then you'll have trouble with five, and you'll have bigger trouble with another five, but you have 35 or 40 states that will run education as good as Norway or Denmark.
Jamie Kennedy
Sweden.
Donald Trump
We have some, you know, the heads of the list are Denmark, Norway, Sweden, a few others. I think if you go to Iowa and you go to Indiana and you go to. I can name.
A lot of states, I think it would be almost the equivalent, maybe better. But you can't run a school system in Iowa from Washington, D.C. yeah. So the Gaza plan. When do you expect to announce members.
Eric Bowling
Of the Board of Peace, the leadership of that?
Donald Trump
Well, we'll do it early next year. And the Board of Peace are going to. It'll be one of the most legendary boards ever. Everybody wants to be on it. It's mostly going to be, I guess, you know, we weren't thinking about it that way, but they want to all do it.
Basically. It'll be the heads of.
The most important countries.
They all want to be on. It wasn't really planned. You know, we thought we're going to get very distinguished people that do that kind of thing for a living. But really it looks like it's turning out to be. They want to be on the heads, the kings and the presidents, prime ministers, they all want to be on the Board of Peace.
Host/Announcer
This is a president on the video all the way up to last night's rally.
Eric Bowling
Can you clarify?
Host/Announcer
You have called the affordability crisis as a Democratic hoax, but you also want to make America affordable again?
Donald Trump
No, the word, the word that they use is a hoax. And because they're the ones that caused the problem. I'm only. No, I'm talking about when you, you know, you're trying to say it a different way now. It's pretty simple, though, if you listen.
It's a hoax where they created the problem. They're the ones that gave the high prices. So when they use the word affordability, they shouldn't be using that word because they're the ones that created this problem. They created the highest inflation in history and they created the highest prices in history. And now we have to get those things down. But when they go, they look and they say affordability. They never discuss it. They just say the election's about affordability. Well, it may very well be. I think it's also about still the border. You have to remember the job. You know, the sad thing is, for seven months we've had no people come through our border. Nobody can even believe it. Zero people. And the people that do that are largely Democrats, which. The people that do the stats. We've had no people come in other than Coming in legally. But if you take a look and nobody wants to talk about that. In fact, last night I said, let me talk about the border. My own people told me, sir, nobody cares about the border anymore. You've fix the problem. I said, do I get a little credit for fixing a disaster where millions of people a month would flow into our country and you know, from prisons and from gangs and from drug dealers and mental institutions, they say, sir, you fixed the border. Nobody cares. I say, but I care. It's sad when you fix something and then you can't even use it. You can't talk about it. My own people don't want to talk about it anymore. But.
Very simply, the Democrats created the worst crisis of inflation that this country has ever had. And with that came the highest prices that we've ever had. And I'm fixing it.
Host/Announcer
Mr. President, has Secretary Hickseth told you why he hasn't released the video of the second strike?
Donald Trump
No, he hasn't. I thought that issue was dead. You'd surprised you bring it? You must be. You must be.
Jamie Kennedy
CNN lawmakers are still talking about on the Hill.
Guest/Interviewer
Are you?
Donald Trump
Are you, Sienna?
Jamie Kennedy
I am with cnn.
Donald Trump
I'm shocked to find out the lawmakers.
Jamie Kennedy
Are so talking about it on the Hill.
Donald Trump
Well, I'll tell you, I don't know about lawmakers, which lawmakers.
Jamie Kennedy
You're talking about trying to release it.
Donald Trump
You mean the people that you work for, the Democrats. You know, you work for the Democrats. So you're basically an arm of the Democrat Party. Thank you very much, everybody. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Dr. Peter McCullough
Thank you.
Eric Bowling
All right, folks, President Trump just wrapped the meeting in the Oval Office. Very interesting. A lot of questions. He, you know, the most interesting part of that for me was there's been rumors that, oh, he's going to fire Pete Hegseth. Oh, he's going to get Christine Oem. Oh, Pam Bond is. He just literally said, I love every one of my cabinet secretaries. And I think that will at least calm the folks down a little bit. Very quickly, let's run over what the markets did. The stock market was up very big today. There was a rate cut. The Fed cut rates by a quarter percent. That sent the stocks flying upwards. Major indexes went higher. The Dow Jones up 500 or so. S P up 45. Nasdaq up 77. And let's jump over. Gold keeps going up. And crypto, crypto backed off just a hair, holding really, really nice at 92 and a half thousand to the bitcoin. All right, let's bring in our, our first guest, an actor and comedian who joins us today to talk about something not so funny. It's really, really important, folks, to the average American household. Here's why the US Is facing an historic air conditioning crisis. I said it right in. Historic air conditioning crisis, which is projected to cost you and me and all of us $25 billion every single year. And put a damper on, I guess, going forward, a strain on the heating, ventilation and air conditioning industry. Let's bring in, Happy to bring in Jamie Kelly on the show. Jamie, good to have you, my friend. We're gonna get to your acting career first. Just set us up with what is this thing that's gonna cost a monster amount of money? American people next couple years.
Jamie Kennedy
Thank you for having me, bro. Basically, this is a huge thing that no one's talking about. A few years ago, there was a big meeting of 185 countries and it was in Kigali, Africa, called the Kigali Agreement. They basically changed a whole gas and refrigerant that a lot of people are going to use. And the problem is that now we've picked up a new gas, a refrigerant that is more flammable, more toxic, has PFAS in it, which are forever chemicals. It's more expensive. It gives nothing to the manufacturer here.
Eric Bowling
Just so folks understand, this is the. They're trying to phase out Freon, right? Because they call it too toxic to the environment, whatnot. That's why if you've ever had your air conditioning reload it with Freon, it costs you an arm and a leg because they're not producing anymore. So very quickly finish the rule check.
Jamie Kennedy
They're phasing this out and let's say it was $75 a canister. Now it can go up to 1200. Yeah, it's a 15. It's insane.
Eric Bowling
Yeah.
Jamie Kennedy
So what's happening is, is that the, it is done in China and then it's put in the, the unit in Mexico. So two countries benefit takes backlog of eight months. The reason I'm involved is I do comedy and comedy clubs, people fanning themselves. I noticed it and I was like, what's going on? And then they're like, we don't turn the air conditioning on. It's too expensive. Then I was at a high end restaurant in la. We don't turn the air conditioning. I'm like, what? And then I did a show in Palm Springs. So from a person has a one bedroom apartment in Boca or Palm Springs to a Huge business to a. Grocery outlets, whatever. It's a huge problem. The rest of the world had 15 years to make the change. We had 15 months. We're now in month 12. We have three months. April 1st is going to be.
Eric Bowling
After April 1st, you can't use Freon to load your airplane.
Jamie Kennedy
I'm not exactly sure, but it's going to be very difficult. There's going to be a lot of regulations.
Eric Bowling
So here's the important part. Jamie, I don't mean to cut you off because our time is fairly limited. I know. He's got to get a plane back to la. You met with Lee Zeldin yesterday.
Jamie Kennedy
I had an amazing meeting with the head of the EPA. Mr. Lee Zeldin took my meeting. Incredible. And he was awesome. Him and his staff were there and basically let me know that, you know, they're going to make an announcement soon. I can't say that. Something that I think will help this issue. And so they're working on it.
Eric Bowling
Let me ask you this. Is it before April? April, Whatever the expiration of the Freon.
Jamie Kennedy
I feel that there's. There will be. I feel that, yes. I don't feel that they're going to. They're going to. They're going to help the industry. That's how I feel. But, you know, it's not at liberty for me to say, you know, they're going to help, try to help this issue.
Eric Bowling
This is relevant because now Mexico, we have to go to Mexico for our. Whatever this product is put into the air conditioning.
Jamie Kennedy
It's made in China. The gas, then the gas is shipped to Mexico, then they install it in the unit in Mexico. So you got to manufacture it, wait, Ship, manufacture it, wait, hope it gets shipped. I mean, it's a lot.
Eric Bowling
And then we pay. And then we pay more of all that manufacturing.
Jamie Kennedy
Their workers get paid. They get a piece of the tariff. Our guys are sitting around waiting. We have nothing. We're losing money on all ends. We're losing refrigerant. We're losing it. And it's dangerous. It's dangerous.
Eric Bowling
Look, Jamie's an actor, he's a comedian. But this is a really, really important. I've been doing this for forever. He's in dc. We're in DC right now talking to Lee Zelda. This is very. So what is it gonna take? I mean, Trump is rolling back emission standards for vehicles, right? Can he roll back this?
Jamie Kennedy
Mr. Zelda assured me that he's all over it, very aware of it. He had a great meeting with Alta Energy Co. Refrigerant in October. And then he also told me that President Trump is very aware of it. He knows a huge problem. Listen, 118 degrees in Palm Springs, Scottsdale, Boca. You know the drill.
Eric Bowling
I do know the drill. It's not. But it's only that it's 100 freaking 18 degrees in Chicago in July.
Jamie Kennedy
100% exactly.
Eric Bowling
All right, I know we're a little bit cramped for time.
Jamie Kennedy
Take your time.
Eric Bowling
Tell me. Tell me the movie.
Donald Trump
Yeah.
Eric Bowling
Portal. By the way, if you. If you recognize Jamie, he was in Scream.
Jamie Kennedy
Yeah. You just found that out right now?
Eric Bowling
I did.
Jamie Kennedy
You also said, my name is Jamie Kelly.
Eric Bowling
I did say Jamie Kelly. I know Jamie Kelly. Jamie Kenny. I'm sorry.
You'Re in Scream. And now this movie's Portal in the Pines. Yes, I also just looked that up.
Jamie Kennedy
Portal in the Pines is a thriller, kind of conspiracy theorist movie, and it's about basically, time warps. Are you familiar with the CERN Large Halden Collider in Switzerland?
Eric Bowling
Yes, I am. Are you familiar with the massive volume they clock? Yes.
Jamie Kennedy
Are you familiar with particle Mandela effect?
Eric Bowling
That I'm not.
Jamie Kennedy
Well, it's basically just like they said. In 2012, our timeline shifted and it was because this big Haldron collider, which is in Switzerland, which is a real thing. And so the movie's about.
Eric Bowling
So the portal they discover in the Pines, and it's supported to.
Jamie Kennedy
Hell no hell. Just another dimension.
Eric Bowling
You better talk to Rotten Tomatoes. Because they said.
Yeah, okay, you have a wingman, which will be.
Jamie Kennedy
Wingman will be. I'll be at 20. I'm being your hood come Fort Lauderdale Film Festival, February 27th. Wingman is my new comedy that's going to debut there. And then I also have another movie I did, and it's on also on Amazon prime called Namaka. And that's if Moana went bad.
Eric Bowling
Dumb question. Why does it a successful acting actor and working actor and comedian want to get involved in air conditioning?
Jamie Kennedy
Because it's a real problem. I'm in my 50s. I noticed it through my job, people fanning themselves, and I'm lucky enough to have a platform. So it's like, I want to help.
Eric Bowling
Got it. Seriously, Jamie Kennedy.
Jamie Kennedy
Kennedy, brother.
Eric Bowling
Thank you, Porto.
Jamie Kennedy
Thank you, brother.
Eric Bowling
Prime video. Thank you. Appreciate it.
Jamie Kennedy
Thank you, brother.
Eric Bowling
All right, do we have Mad Dog? I can't hear you. No one's talking. Do we have Peter McCullough? Well, let's do this instead. I'm going to read this if you want me to read it. It says joint pain. You want me to do joint pain or do you want to do Birch Read? I'll do whatever you guys want me to. Silver, let's do silver. Silver's a great Christmas gift. It's a Christmas season after all. That's why for every $5,000 you buy between now and December 22nd, Birchgold will send you an ounce of silver, which is up 60%. 60% this year alone. It's $61 an ounce right now. Silver is insane. Smart people diversify and have a hedge. That's why I absolutely encourage you to buy gold. But not only buy gold, buy from Birch Gold Group. With rate cuts from the Fed in 2026, the dollar will be worth less and less. It's just happening. It's happening over time. It's going to continue. What happens by the way, if the AI bubble bursts? You better be diversified. Let Birch Gold Group help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA in physical gold, gold bars, gold coins. For every $5,000 you buy, you're going to get a free ounce of silver for your stocking or for your kids. By the way, what a great way to teach your kids about saving smartly. Just text the word America and to 989-898America to 989-898 claim your eligibility for this offer. Again, America 298-9898 text today because Birchgold Group's free silver with qualifying purchase promotion ends on December 22nd. Again, one more time you text that word America to 989-898. We will be back in two and a half minutes.

@Justworks we know your small business employees are more than your Employees. They're your people. Like Arlo, the coding genius you hired full time even though he lives in Australian central time. Or Paul, your BFF turned CEO who deserves so much PTO and an easy way to track it. And Gloria, who's been with you since your conference room was a living room and has a knack for landing herself in the emergency room. But, hey, at least you got your team that good medical.
Donald Trump
I'm okay.
Eric Bowling
She's okay. Folks, we do your human resources right so you can do right by your people. Jessworks for your people.
All right, our next guest, our own Rav, host of Law and Border, who's been out with the Border Patrol and is currently in Minneapolis. Let's bring in Ben Berquhm. Ben, you spoke with the U.S. border Patrol chief, Michael Banks, and you asked him what would be his message to the American people about the importance of Border Patrol jobs. Let's take a little sound bite from that.
Guest/Interviewer
First and foremost, entering this country illegally is a crime. One of the things you'll hear from the left talking heads is that some of these people don't have a criminal history. Maybe not here in the United States, but they have criminal history back home. You have to understand that when the prior administration and Biden administration told you they were vetting people, it's just a lie. They were vetted against systems that they weren't in. They weren't vetted against the systems they were in. And Venezuela wasn't going to share that information with us because they didn't want them back either. And so what you're seeing is known criminals being arrested, those that have committed crimes since coming here, those that committed crimes from countries that do share that information with us, and then again, those that are wanted in their own country, that they would not share that information with us. But listen as we do target enforcement. When you target a criminal, illegal alien, someone that's convicted, got a conviction for rape, robbery, murder, sexual assault of a minor, you're going to find regular illegal aliens. Why? Because the criminal legal aliens live in the same communities as illegal aliens. They prey on those illegal aliens, hoping that they won't report the victimization that they've received because they fear deportation. For the first time in my lifetime, in both the Border Patrol and in the military, whole of government approach really has a meaning. I heard it so many times over and over again. We're going to take a whole of government approach. I've never seen it until January 21st of this year. As you said, we got FBI, we got ATF we got DEA. If you're a law enforcement officer in the federal government, you are in some way helping us with this mission. And the fact is, is that those that came here illegally are going to be apprehended. They're going to be prosecuted and deported. Is it the most cure border we ever had in my lifetime? Absolutely. Are we going to get complete operational control? And by that, I mean that nothing crosses that border without being apprehended. We are going to get it. For the first time in my career, I actually believe it's obtainable because the President of the United States and Kristi Noem are empowering the U.S. border Patrol to do what we know how to do, which is go out there and secure that border. And we're doing it.
Eric Bowling
You know, Ben, I think it was really interesting that the President was finishing up that long press conference at the top of the hour, and he mentioned what a great job Kristi Noemi is doing. A lot of people are calling me, hey, have you heard? Trump's going to fire Kristi Noem reporters. I'm like, you guys are nuts. And Trump confirmed he's not. He's very happy with her job. Tell us about Chief Banks. He seems at least encouraged. I've interviewed him before and he was. He was worried about morale and whatnot. Tell us where we are with him now.
Ben Berkhom
Well, that was another question that I asked him. Was it specifically about morale? And his response was, it's never been higher. Letting these guys do what they swore an oath to do is all they want to do. Border Patrol and ice, all they want to be able to do is their jobs to go get the bad guys. And with Border Patrol's case, in Border Patrol's case, I was with him in Blaine, Washington, up on the northern border. So those guys want to secure that border. Under Biden, they were actually shipped down to the southern border to help process illegals and invite them into our country. Now they're back up on the northern border, securing the border. And beyond that, they're able to go and do these targeted enforcements, working with ICE to go into these communities where the illegals were allowed in and they're getting them out. So not only is Border Patrol securing the border, they're also helping with that all of government approach to get illegals. But that also brings you to here, where I'm at in Minneapolis, where the biggest problem we have in this country are the sanctuary jurisdictions. Mayors, like the mayor of Minneapolis, the governor, Governor Walls, all these people that are working against ice, that's the problem. If there's any morale issue, it's because you have sanctuary jurisdictions working against them. But if anything, what I'm seeing is it just pisses these agents off even more and they want to do their job even more.
You know.
Eric Bowling
And it strikes me that this, this whole thing in Minneapolis and Minnesota, the billion dollars that the Somali group had stolen, you know, Elon Omar comes out and says, oh, but they're American citizens. Well, I'm not sure, maybe they are, maybe they aren't, but they're, they're still stealing, stealing people blind. Is there a massive, is there a big illegal migrant situation in Minneapolis also?
Ben Berkhom
Yeah, absolutely. Well, you've got twofold. So one is we've allowed in millions of even legal immigrants that should never have been allowed into this country. You have people being brought in from corrupt governments and you wonder why somebody, why they would do this massive fraud in Minneapolis in the Somali community. Well, when you invite people into our country that have first off has no allegiance to this country and then you don't ask them to assimilate, you don't expect, have any expectations for them, they're going to bring that third world mentality. And so even with the legal immigrants that you have here, you have still have that third world mentality with many of them. I saw a lot of them today out protesting against ICE in the community, trying to pick up the other, the illegal bad guys. But the other side of that is, yes, you also have illegal aliens that were brought in under Joe Biden. Every country in the world just about came through our southern border and our northern border under Joe Biden and they've shipped everywhere. But it's not just Somalis that you have a massive illegal alien population here in Minneapolis. You have huge numbers from Central America, South America and even Asia. Big numbers from China, from Vietnam as well. All over the country. They choose these liberal cities because they get protection, they get coverage, they get all the welfare benefits. And they know now when ICE is coming to town, you're actually going to have the government working the city and the state government working against ICE being able to do their job. There's a reason why, yes, to answer, short answer to your question. There's a massive illegal alien population here in Minneapolis just like every major liberal city in America.
Eric Bowling
How does Chief Banks, I don't know if you asked him this. How would be. What's the general thought on? I believe it's up to 1.8 million illegals have self deported under the program. They get some money, they get to, to jump back into the front of the line. If they come back legally, does ICE and border patrol think it's working?
Ben Berkhom
Yeah, actually, again, speaking of that, I'm going to be releasing the whole 15 minute interview. That was one of the things he brought up. He said every time we go into a community and do targeted enforcement, we get more applications through the CBP home app. Because of the enforcement, people are realizing illegals are realizing they're coming and they'd rather do it on their own terms than get picked up by ICE and forced home. If you choose to use that CBP home app, you can actually not only go home, it doesn't count against you. It's not considered a deportation. And they'll actually, the government will actually pay for your flight back home. You can actually apply legally to try to come through the process. But now if you get deported, you don't have that option. You'll never be allowed back in unless again, unless a Democrat gets into office and you come back in illegally. So we're seeing a massive. Every single time they do these targeted enforcement, you're seeing an increase in people using that CBP home app.
Eric Bowling
Indeed. Indeed. Ben, we're going to let you go, my friend. I know you're busy. You got a bunch of people who get begging to get Ben Berkhom on the show. Thank you. Appreciate your time. Ben Burkham, Law and Border with Ben.
Ben Berkhom
I got, I got to get back out with ice. We're going after more illegals, brother. Yeah, go get them.
Eric Bowling
Go get them. Send them home. Send them home. That. Tell them they can come back and pay taxes like the rest of us. Thank you, Ben.
Alrighty, folks. All right, folks. Chronic joint inflammation, whether driven by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or post traumatic injury, remains one of the most disabling conditions in modern life. Especially when you get up there in age a little bit older, all these things start to hurt. Everything hurts. To find out more, let's bring in the chief scientific officer of the wellness company, good friend of mine, personal friend, Mr. Dr. Peter McCullough. Doc, really good to have you on. Tell us about joint, chronic joint inflammation and what we can do and what specifically the wellness company can help us with.
Dr. Peter McCullough
Eric, you should know better than anyone being a former pro athlete and you know, as we get older, our joints get older and invariably we get some joint pain or sometimes I just think our joints feel old. Wellness company has innovated with a product called Therablue, which contains multiple very, very Innovative ingredients including methylene blue, NAD a peptide, a copper based peptide that helps in joint repair as well as multiple botanicals. And we encourage people to use it every day, consistently, whether the joint hurts or not, to fundamentally change the natural history of this arthritis.
Eric Bowling
Doc, you're right. I have a massive joint problem, my right arm from throwing all the wear and tear. Is it one of the things, do I have to have surgery or is there hope for me?
Dr. Peter McCullough
You know, it all depends because certainly you need to see your orthopedist. And the MRIs have assisted greatly. You know, I've run a marathon in every state in the country. I've got a lot of mileage on my legs and knees and they just sometimes feel old. And I personally use the product every day consistently. And you know, it's a method of not just relieving pain, but also, you know, we think improving the joints. And it's. You really can't do that by taking pills and surgeries can only go so far. So what's really going to carry us? TheRablue.
Eric Bowling
TheRablue. Interesting. Also, you mentioned peptides and the reason why I asked this, doc, if I'm not mistaken, the GLP1 drugs are peptides. How is this different?
Dr. Peter McCullough
Well, these are short. This is a short peptide that fundamentally gets absorbed through the skin and then favorably influences repair of the proteins that make up cartilage and ligaments. So it's very different than a GLP1 peptide. But you know, the Federal Trade Commission regulates them. They are safe for topical use. Wellness company has a tremendous experience there. And the peptides are actually in a special, what's called aquasome that allows the delivery into the skin. They're safe. And this is a giant advantage over just the topical pain relievers that people are used to. This fundamentally, we believe changes arthritis and helps people heal and get better.
Eric Bowling
So, Doc, one more question before I let you go. Methylene blue and thera blue tell us. They're popping up everywhere. Everyone's starting to talk about it. Just tell us what those are.
Dr. Peter McCullough
Well, methylene blue, we use it, I'm a cardiologist. We use it in cardiology to kind of revive the cardiovascular system after heart transplant. It's used in carbon monoxide overdoses. It helps regenerate the mitochondria, the energy factories within cells. Well, we can actually use it topically to help rejuvenate the mitochondria in the cells. And some of these senescent cells in the joints, they need a boost and they fundamentally help those cells Get a metabolic boost.
Eric Bowling
All right, we gotta let you go. Wellness company. By the way, you can get 10% off if you mentioned America's. Real America's Voice. Is that right?
Dr. Peter McCullough
That's right. Use your promo code. Get 10% off. These make great stocking stuffers. And while this company, well supported by real America's Voice and your audience, thank you so much.
Eric Bowling
All right, all right, all right, Doc. Really good having you on, my friend. We love having Dr. Peter McCullough, one of the premier doctors in America, honest with us. Thank you, doc.
Dr. Peter McCullough
Thank you.
Eric Bowling
All right, folks. Every man gets a moment in life where life quietly asks a dangerous question. Who are you willing to become to get ahead? Patrick bet David got that question working the front desk at a Bally's gym, no less. Way back when watching. They call me to say, how much money make at Valley's right now? I said, I'm doing great. I'm making 3, 300amonth.
He says, how would you like to make 4k a week if you just come with us? You're just our muscle and you got to get us, you know, collect money. I come home, I'm like, oh, they're dealing coke. Oh, coke. Like, yeah, this guy eventually ends up going away, but so they're dealing coke. And I. I come back and I say, I can't do it. So I don't do it. You got to find out how that story ends. That's on the Edge. We have some of the most amazing interviews. Almost an hour with Patrick Beth David, one of the premier talking heads in America right now. Great guy, if that hit you.

Alrighty, folks. Well, day two of Jasmine Crockett's new Senate campaign launch did not include another rapper. Let's get into it.
Donald Trump
Okay?
Host/Announcer
She ain't never scared and she ain't never been. Who is willing to go toe to.
Dr. Peter McCullough
Toe against the President?
Eric Bowling
No rapper on day two of her launch. But it still maintained plenty of Jasmine's ridiculous delusions and notions, starting with how Jasmine, jazzy Jasmine Crockett believes she can mamdani her way into Texas Senate seats.
Host/Announcer
Let me tell you something. Mandami has not backed down whatsoever from his rhetoric against the president in the Oval Office. He stood at. He stood there and he said what he said about him being a fascist, yet he was able to win those voters. So. So Democrats that believe the only way that you can win is by being soft and sounding like a Republican. That is not true. What people are looking for are people that are tough and are fighters and are going to fight for them.
Eric Bowling
I mean, who's going to vote for this woman? Are you kidding me? Texas. Texas, you better come out. CNN's Jake Tapper decided to do some journalism for a change. Probably still embarrassed about referring to a black man as the white man on air last week. Remember when he thought it was a white man who was actually a black guy who committed the crime? Jake decided to actually ask Jasmine Crockett a difficult question for a change, specifically about this article from Vanny Fair in which she said that Trump voting Latinos have a slave mentality. And of course, Jasmine rolled out the usual Democrat trope of what you heard is not what you actually heard. It almost reminds me of what people would talk about when they would talk about kind of like slave mentality and the hate that some slaves would have for themselves. It's almost like a slave mentality that they have. Now, about the time that that was published last year, around a million Latino voters in Texas were voting for Trump. Do they all have slave mentality?
Host/Announcer
No. And that's not what that said at all. To be clear, it did not say that every Latino has that type of mentality.
Eric Bowling
No, no. But slave the ones that vote for people who believe in strong or Trump's immigration policy.
Host/Announcer
So. So I don't believe that the people that voted for Trump believe in what they're actually getting.
Eric Bowling
So. So it's a Democrat, especially Jasmine Crockett, who, you know, Democrat by definition. They lie. And most politicians do, by the way, said. Oh, I didn't say that. Well, you actually did say that. You wrote it, too. The Internet's a funny thing. It kind of lives forever. Jazzy Jasmine Tepper also decided to ask Jasmine Crockett about that weird, weird launch ad that went up on YouTube with just President Trump's voice on over Jasmine's face. She turns a couple of times. And of course, her defense of that comical video went just as you would expect it to. Your official announcement is just a video of you and an image of you while insults of President Trump, of you play in the background. Why that decision? I mean, one of your opponents, Tellarico, he had a video. Him with constituents, him with Texans. Why you solo?
Host/Announcer
Yeah. So there's a couple of things. Number one, I wanted to do something different because number one, in order to flip the state of Texas, we'll have to do something that we've never done. So I wanted to stay on brand with the fact that we would be different. I also wanted people to understand who the president sees as a real threat. And it is me.
Eric Bowling
No, no, lady, your brand isn't different. Your brand is Trump derangement syndrome. And you think there are enough liberals in Texas to vote you into a Senate se the very important Senate seat because they don't like Trump either. You're out of your mind. Ain't going to happen. It hasn't happened in decades. It's not going to happen this time around. As expected, the ladies of the View are supporting Jasmine Crockett's wild notions and honestly believing that she stands a chance at a Texas Senate seat. But what's even more ridiculous is why.
Host/Announcer
They believe that this is my frustration. If purely being against Donald Trump was a winning strategy, Dems would have beat him in 2016 and they would have beat him in 2024. I would have loved to hear. I'm Jasmine Crockett and I'm going to fight for affordability. I'm going to fight for the working class. I'm going to bring manufacturing back. Talking about issues. Texans aren't looking for you to take on Donald Trump. They just want competent leadership for the state. Texans are plain spoken people just like everybody else. They know that the economy is going down, down, down. He's underwater with the American people. His approval rate is 39% or something. And with Hispanics, it's 38%.
Dr. Peter McCullough
And she assumes that they read and.
Host/Announcer
That they can see that the economy is in the toilet.
Eric Bowling
You know, that's pretty amazing, Joy Behar. I mean, do you remember last four years, Joe Biden, you want to talk about the economy? 9% inflation, people. Wages were going down, inflation was going up, people getting squeezed. Now, I do think things are getting better under Trump, but they could be a lot better. I think he should lean into some of these titans of business. Anyway, onto the next one. The sudden the subject of having no clue whatsoever about the economy, the insistence of clueless lefties to go on the air and speak as though they're financial gurus. Always comical to me. But Joy Reid takes some time out of being racist to be, I don't know, stupid.
Host/Announcer
I can't imagine the job of the next president to have to fix this mess, because this is a mess like he's going to leave. I mean, I'm assuming 2026, we end up in a recession. I'm just assuming that. And I think people should brace themselves for the economy to get really bad. Because when a small number of people get rich and you don't expand the middle, and when the bottom gets poorer.
There'S no way to sustain an economy like that that anybody can really benefit from. I mean, Trump is benefiting. His friends are benefiting. Who else? It's not good.
Eric Bowling
You know what you did there, Joy Reid? You described Joe Biden's four years where the middle class gets squeezed. Prices were going up, wages were stagnant or going down, and your budgets were busted. Trump is trying to turn that around. I'll tell you what else. Joe Biden raised taxes, raise taxes. Trump is trying to lower taxes for everybody. That helps the middle class out. These people are just. I don't. I think they. If they say it and say it enough, they'll start believing themselves and hopefully the people who are saying it to start to believe it. I'm not sure if it's working, but that's gotta be their plan. In other socialist news, Zoran Mamdani, who promised everyone free stuff with no clue how to pay for it, is airing yet another ad begging New Yorkers for donations just weeks before he takes office as mayor of the Big Rotten Apple.
Dr. Peter McCullough
Time flies.
Donald Trump
Believe it or not, there's just a few weeks left before I take office.
Guest/Interviewer
As the next mayor of New York City.
Eric Bowling
But before then, I would like to quote the great senator from Vermont, I'm once again asking for your support.
Donald Trump
I'd like to tell you a little.
Eric Bowling
Bit more about why we need it.
Donald Trump
We've got a full plate getting ready for January. We're reviewing the more than 70,000 resumes we received, setting up our transition committees, naming our appointees will turn policy into practice and planning and budgeting for an inauguration celebration.
Jamie Kennedy
We are so excited to share with.
Donald Trump
You soon, all so we can start delivering on our affordability agenda from day one without skipping a beat.
Eric Bowling
Yeah, your affordability crap you run out of people's money to give to other people's. And the makers make enough. They can't give enough. They already taxed at the highest rate in the whole entire country. He wants to raise taxes more. Eventually the takers will all flood to New York and the makers will leave. It's going to be a hellhole even worse than it is already. Leftists still can't get it through their thick heads that DEI is one of the most poisonous policies in the world. I'll tell you what, they're not going to. They're going to still play with it. But it's always fun watching them play around. Watch.
Host/Announcer
NTDI is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. You're opposing diversity and equity and inclusion. Why? What is wrong with any of those things? And I think that to attack these notions is a dog whistle to the worst elements of society that are seeing a slide towards a more fascistic world. And every politician who engages in that should be ashamed of themselves.
Eric Bowling
Meritocracy works. It's always worked. The free market, the capitalist market. Call me a capitalist pig, because I am. Gosh darn it, I almost said the wrong word. All right, just finishing off with yet another ridiculous moment on the View in which Sonny Host improves yet again. That the left not only condones violence and killing, but also celebrates those who defend them and want criminals right back out in the streets.
Host/Announcer
You know, I think the system is doing what it's supposed to do. Everyone is. Is innocent until proven guilty. That is our system here. And I think that that needs to be.
That needs to be expected. And I do know these defense attorneys, actually, I know Karen Agnifolo extremely well. She is the best of the best. And so. And she was a former prosecutor. And so I know for sure that he is getting the best defense. And don't we want that? I think we do want people who allegedly murdered a CEO, a young person with all the potential in the world to have a defense. And so that if he is convicted, he is rightfully convicted.
Eric Bowling
She's defending the convicted murderers. That Ilhan Omar, defending the Somalis who stole $1 billion from the people of Minnesota. They defend the criminals at the expense of the citizens. What a shock. All right, folks, nobody, nobody warns men about this phase of life when the money's good. But something just still feels empty. Patrick bet David hit that wall and made a move most men are afraid to make. Because to me, I'm like, is this it?
I know Dad's retired. He's not working at 99 Cent Store again. And I'm just not happy.
Jamie Kennedy
I'm not content.
Eric Bowling
Because to me I'm like, is this it? Am I just supposed to make money and that is it? Because that's not going to be the case with me. I need more than that, you know, and that's what we tap into. We tap into the, the motivations. We tap into the performance, men's performance, and we tap into how men who've fallen get back up. Real risk isn't falling. Real risk is not getting back up. If you stay where you don't belong, that is where the conversation ends. That's where we pick it up on the edge. Now hit that QR code right there with your phone. Show the camera to that.

All right, let's come back to voice. We love the voicemails. You guys are amazing. I've literally, I probably have 10,000 voicemails from you. I, I get to as many as I can. I sent some over. I think, I think they're fun. I think they're interesting. But most importantly, I think you're asking the questions that most people are asking. We try to answer some of them certainly in the voicemails. And we also try and program the show for that great, great things. Shot of control. Mad Dog. I have a question for you. Do we take the Caroline Levitt's presidential briefing every time she does one? Do we take it live Real America's voice every time? Right. Do you think there's any reason we wouldn't take it tomorrow at 1 o'?
Donald Trump
Clock?
Eric Bowling
Just probably not, right? We would definitely take it, right? No, we'd definitely take it. We're gonna take it. Hey, folks, let's just say I hope you watch it tomorrow at 1 o', clock, especially the beginning Part right at the top. Whenever she starts, I'm going to leave it at that. It's called the deep tease. It's a teases. What's coming next on the show. Deep teases. What's coming tomorrow. Just watch that one o' clock briefing. I'm not going to even the guys. You guys in the control room don't even know what it is, do you?
Jamie Kennedy
I do not.
Eric Bowling
No one knows. You folks are the first to hear about it. All right, let's do a voicemail. Mad Dog. Yes, sir. This viewer says, beware Jasmine Crockett.
Caller/Mad Dog
Hey, Mark from Texas. Beware with Jasmine Crockett. She's not that much, but, boy, she's got some professional help. That was very well done. That looked like Hollywood back in her. And she can probably get that help if she needs beware.
Eric Bowling
Yeah, man, you are so right that, you know, she pulled that video down, the one where Trump is talking about her and she's looking around. I guess whoever realized it was a dumbass thing to put up there. If you're going to. If you're going to. If you can come out and become a Texas senator, you have to have policies, you have to have ideas that the people want to hear. But it's clear she only wants to be anti Trump. But you're right, man. That was a polished video. So there's some money behind that woman. Of course, the blue would love the left. Would love to turn that seat blue. Bad dog. You got another one. Yes, sir. This next viewer thinks that the world is ran by fear.
Caller/Mad Dog
Hi, Eric. I love your show. I watch it every day. Let's face the facts. The world is run by fear. Right now, as I'm making this message, there's probably three or four different crime families plotting to assassinate our president. Guys like you and me, we're trying to be clever and get the message out and get people motivated and figure out that magic statement that's gonna travel across the world to change things. We're trying. And the beat goes on, but like I said, people are. People are just scared, plain and simple. I'm not afraid. Probably why I've been a victim of attempted murder. Murder on probably at least two occasions that I know of. But yeah. And yeah. So you speak the truth and only the good die young. Well, I'm not young. I'm 66. I might not be as good as I think I am. Talk to you later, big boss.
Eric Bowling
All right. Thank you for the call. Yeah, you're right. You're right. Fear is one tactic the Left loves to use fear. That's what they do. That's, that's there. And it's also informing people, you know, telling the truth, being transparent. That's what we do on the right. That's certainly what we do on the show. Mad Dog, viewer wants action from Republicans.
Caller/Mad Dog
Hey, when. When do you think the Republicans are gonna stop talking so much and arrest some of these politicians? Been irritating the crap out of me that all they do is talk, talk, talk, and nobody's been arrested. Thanks. Have Merry Christmas.
Eric Bowling
Hey, Merry Christmas to you too. You're right 100%. We talk about this all the time. Put some people perplex, slam some doors, and maybe some of the BS stops. Mad Dog, we have another time for a quick one. Yes, sir. Quick.
Caller/Mad Dog
Eric. Mike in Oregon, big fan. I'm way behind me lines out here. What happened? The idea of a new census and have it done by United States Postal Service. That would really help our representation out. Thanks and God bless.
Eric Bowling
So this is very interesting. As you well know. We talked to Bannon. Bannon Trump, first term in 2016. Trump Tower. Bannon calls me up. We want you for a commerce Secretary. I had to thank them and politely turn them down because I was at Fox. I just started the five senator seat on the five. I said no. But I think this is important to do another census. Trump wants to do another census through the Commerce Department. Another census, but this time you don't count illegals. Do you know the census counts illegals and resources are diverted to states and municipalities have massive numbers of illegals. Let's do a census. American citizens only. Trump's right on that. That's his idea. I'm not taking it. I'm not coming up with it. That's all Trump for you, folks. And he's right. He's right. Howard Lutnick. Hopefully he does it. Hopefully they get that thing across the finish line. It's about it. We got Bannon's war room coming up next. I'll be here in D.C. today. I think I'll be here tomorrow. You're gonna watch that briefing. Don't forget to watch that briefing. If not, I'll be back in West Palm beach.

Podcast Summary: Real America’s Voice – Bolling! (December 10th, 2025)
This episode of Real America’s Voice – Bolling! delivers a characteristically energetic blend of political commentary, current events, and interviews, centered on American values and topics ranging from border security to the air conditioning crisis, political infighting, economic policy, immigration, and more. Host Eric Bolling is joined by a range of guests, including former President Donald Trump, Dr. Peter McCullough, actor/comic Jamie Kennedy, and field correspondents, for lively discussions.

This episode encapsulates Real America’s Voice’s populist, pro-Trump perspective, tackling immigration, legislative strategy, economics, and political personalities with lively banter and strong opinions. Grounded in the idea that only bold, outsider action can reverse America’s perceived decline, the show aims to both inform and energize its audience with a mix of policy talk, cultural commentary, and emotional motivation.
