Key Segments & Discussion Points

1. The Impact of Trump’s Tariffs on U.S. Industry

Guest: Mike Appling, CEO, Lift High Crane and Rigging
Timestamps: 03:27–13:17

Discussion Highlights:

• Bolling introduces the economic context: Trump’s tariffs have reportedly lowered the trade deficit and brought "billions" into the U.S.
  • “Well, Trump's tariffs are bringing in billions into the United States... the US Trade deficit has fallen to a five year low.” (03:27 – Bolling)
• Appling describes the unintended consequence of tariffs: a shortage of construction cranes, as most are manufactured abroad, especially larger models urgently needed for major projects.
  • “There are zero tower cranes... manufactured in the United States. Less than 3% of all terrain cranes... are manufactured in the United States.” (04:21 – Appling)
• Though pro-tariff in principle, Appling requests a modification or waiver for items not manufactured domestically.
  • "If you can't buy it here and there's no chance to buy it here, then why are we adding, you know, an extreme amount of cost, millions of dollars in some cases per crane." (04:21 – Appling)
• Both guest and host agree that importing from China poses economic and national security concerns.
  • “...Most people will not buy Chinese cranes because they're worried about safety, quality and the national security risk that you just mentioned.” (08:03 – Appling)
• Bolling proposes an industry-by-industry approach to tariffs, granting "landing strips" (delays) so industry can adapt.
  • “Maybe you pick it by industry or maybe you pick it by product. Should it be tariffs right now or should there be six months, a year, two years, five years, depending on how difficult it is to get up to speed manufacturing those products here?” (11:31 – Bolling)
• Appling urges listeners to contact their representatives for relief in industries facing these bottlenecks.

2. Political Wealth, Insider Trading, and Senate Races

Guest: Royce White, GOP Senate Candidate; Host, Royce White Show
Timestamps: 17:52–27:49

Discussion Highlights:

• White advocates "no budget, no pay" for Congress—if legislators don't pass a budget, they shouldn’t be paid.
  • “If the Congress or the Senate can't balance a budget, then they shouldn't get their salary.” (18:45 – White)
• Critiques of the STOCK Act and Congress's ability to legally profit from insider knowledge; Paul Pelosi’s chip stock trades are cited as a prototypical example.
  • “If you and I did it, we'd be in jail for.” (17:52 – Bolling)
• Both highlight escalating costs of running for federal office, amplifying donor and lobby influence.
  • “It's almost a foregone conclusion that a U.S. senate candidate has to have pre-committed to one of these lobbies or special interest groups to have any chance of raising the money necessary to be competitive.” (20:47 – White)
• White notes how Trump is an anomaly, capable of self-funding, and claims his own run is exclusively grassroots-funded.
• White argues that populist candidates can succeed only through major grassroots organizing and donations.
  • “We're going to need 10 to 15 genuine grassroots sort of campaigns all across this country to take what I would call...the swing control of the United States Senate.” (26:01 – White)

---

3. Critique of Climate Change Activism

Host: Eric Bolling
Timestamps: 31:14–38:38

Discussion Highlights:

• Segment opens with news of Greta Thunberg’s arrest, which Bolling mockingly celebrates as a “Christmas gift to the world.”
  • “What a sad fall from grace. Of course I use that word grace very, very loosely. There's no real grace for Greta Thunberg to fall from.” (31:14 – Bolling)
• Argues that climate change is a manufactured crisis, pointing to Antarctic ice growth and failed predictions by climate activists and politicians.
  • “There was supposed to be an Arctic summer, right? Nope. No arctic summer, no melted ice caps. Only climate fear-mongering meant to control us. Isn't that right, Greta?” (37:45 – Bolling)
• Frames climate activism as a vehicle for power and control rather than legitimate concern, likening pandemic mandates and climate action to efforts to restrict freedoms.

---

4. Political Narratives & Democratic Critiques

Host: Eric Bolling
Timestamps: 44:17–50:36

Discussion Highlights:

• Bolling accuses Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Democrats of ignorance and misrepresentation of American history and immigration law.
• Highlights controversies over crime and immigration enforcement, using extreme and sarcastic language to deride Democratic policy.
  • “So right off the bat, she lied. Because when you break into the country illegally, you've committed a crime. So 100% of people in detention that are illegals have committed crimes. Sorry, your number's wrong.” (46:02 – Bolling)
• Extended jabs at progressive figures: AOC, Governor Pritzker, James Carville, and ‘the ladies of The View,’ among others, with complaints about leniency toward criminals and attacks on law enforcement.
• Segment includes a short reference to ICE, recent crimes attributed to migrants, and a call for stricter enforcement.

---

5. Listener Voicemails: Sharia, Social Security, and Political Corruption

Timestamps: 57:34–65:33

Highlights and Select Quotes:

• On Sharia Law in the U.S.:
  • Caller: Concern about “Islamists trying to establish Sharia law in New Jersey and Texas.”

• On Social Security Increase:
  • Caller: Complaints over modest cost-of-living increases.
  • Bolling: Argues actual inflation is much higher, while government spending on migrants and foreign aid vastly surpasses domestic spending on seniors.

• On Political Corruption:
  • Caller: Describes Democratic Party as a “crime syndicate.”
  • Bolling: Entertains the idea with reference to RICO laws and calls for more severe prosecution.
  • “Not only are they...I think they’re criminals. I think they protect criminals...To call it a criminal syndicate, it really would include RICO laws.” (64:24 – Bolling)

[Eric Bolling]

Well, Trump's tariffs are bringing in billions into the United States States and the US Trade deficit has fallen to a five year low. Take a look. And now because of tariffs which have been so incredible, we've taken in hundreds of billions of dollars and we're bringing back our factories, we're bringing back everything. Well, one pro Trump business owner says there's an unintended consequence of those tariffs. Mike Appling, CEO and owner of Lift High Crane and Rigging, said there's now a crane shortage causing construction projects to slow down. Mike, welcome. So you say that you're, you need to buy cranes. They're manufactured elsewhere or in the United States. But because of the tariff situation, you have to look at the manufacturers within the United States and that is costing you more. Tell us about the supply and demand of cranes. And by the way, it matters because our tall buildings are all built with cranes. Go ahead, tell us about that situation now.

[Mike Appling]

Well, and you're absolutely right, it's the tall buildings, it's the LNG plants, it's the data centers, it's the chip plants and the cranes are manufactured all over the world. It's a worldwide market, so to speak. And totally agree that the, the tariffs are generating tax revenue. They've cut the trade deficit. There's a lot of good things going on. But right now, crane manufacturing was not offshored from the United States. There are zero tower cranes, which are the ones on the buildings that are manufactured in the United states. Less than 3% of all terrain cranes, which is in the picture right there, are manufactured in the United States. And importantly, there's only three sizes of all trains that are manufactured in the United States when there's literally 30 sizes ranging from 30 to 900 tons. So we don't even have the ability to buy these cranes in the United states. And the one crane manufacturer that makes its largest crane is a 300 ton, if you called them. Now, my understanding is that you'll get a crane in about a year. And so we're just looking for some relief and some type of modification just has been done with coffee and bananas and other things where it's like if you can't buy it here and there's no chance to buy it here, then why are we adding, you know, an extreme amount of cost, millions of dollars in some cases per crane. And that's also causing people to take a look at Chinese cranes. I personally know people that have never bought Chinese cranes before and they're now looking at it because economics are just getting out of hand on the cranes we buy from our allies being Japan and Germany.

[Eric Bolling]

Know this is, and I don't know if you know this now. I understand you. You are, they've told me that you are still yet pro tariffs though. Explain that how you can, how you can be pro tariffs yet you're. The business that you started is having a hard time because of those tariffs.

[Mike Appling]

Well, the whole crane industry is having a hard time with the tariffs and it's kind of a unified front. But we are all supportive of reshoring manufacturing in the United States. We want to make America manufacturing great again. And that is what's going on. The tariffs are having the effect that President Trump and the administration would like to have, but it's also, there are unintended consequences in certain markets where it's just not as efficient to do broad based terrorists the way we're currently doing them.

[Eric Bolling]

So cranes, bananas, beef from Venezuela, autos, AI My question is, you know, I'm an economist, right? I think you guys are misreading this. I think you're, you're right in that it's difficult because you need to go outside the country because frankly these things have been produced outside the country cheaper because labor is cheaper there, etc. Raw materials are cheaper there. They don't have minimum wages in, in China. They don't have a whole list of regulations in China so they can produce a crane cheaper. So your choice is either go buy Chinese crane and hope they're not spying on you by the way, which they might be with materials and, and, or technology or, or, or spend more money here. I just, I believe every single industry is in the same quant. You know, quagmire, what do we do? And for me, I just want the tariffs to go away. Why am I wrong?

[Mike Appling]

Well, the, the tariffs are a good thing for many people in many industries and they are causing more purchases in the United States and people are getting focused on that. But that's not available in every situation. And cranes are currently not available. And the labor is not cheaper in Germany and Japan than it is here. The German Japan is cheaper in China.

[Eric Bolling]

It's maybe a twentieth of what it is. You can pay a Chinese manufacturing worker 500 bucks a month.

[Mike Appling]

I totally agree. And most people will not buy Chinese cranes because they're worried about the safety, the quality and the national security risk that you just mentioned. And I do believe that they would spy on you. I mean, think about a crane with sensors, cameras, recorders, computers. And we want Chinese cranes going into our LNG plants and nuclear plants. I don't think that makes a whole lot of sense. But the unintended consequences, people are starting to look at the cheaper cranes whereas they previously had not done so.

[Eric Bolling]

Okay, so you're, you're here because you want to talk about a situation that's developing in specifically building, construction, manufacturing, and the support, the infrastructure support which, which you are cranes. What's your, what's your pitch? What do you want the American people to hear right now and do turn and make a call to their congresspeople, call the White House? What do you want them to do?

[Mike Appling]

We want a modification of some sort that gives us a couple of years to figure this out. We can work as an industry with the manufacturers to potentially figure out how to build plants here that may ultimately not be economical, but at least we won't disrupt the market and cause delays in the meantime. And you mentioned the point about being an economist. The analogy that I always like to use is if Germany is charging us 30% to import a Ford Explorer, then we ought to be charging 30% on an X5. And we have had trade imbalances caused by protectionism all over the world. And I really appreciate that President Trump is dealing with that, but it's not going to work on a broad base.

[Eric Bolling]

You know, Russian, I'll have this, I'll have this esoteric conversation with you as they do so many people who have this who make the same argument. Mike. Okay, so you're Apple or, I don't know, your Caterpillar. And Trump says, unless you start manufacturing here, we're going to put the same tariffs in and out for, for all your products as well. They say, we're going to build a plant here. Two questions. When are they going to build the plant? One, they make promises where they can wait till Trump's out of office and change their mind. Or number two, if they do, go ahead and put half a trillion dollars into building a manufacturing plant for iPhones or whatever the Number may be. Is anyone in this day and age, including you, sir, do you think they're going to fill these plants with human beings or with robots?

[Mike Appling]

Oh, it would be a mix of both. And there's no doubt that the manufacturing plants have been moving more toward robots. But I would also tell you that it may not be economical to build a crane plant over here. And it would take four to five years to do it and possibly, you know, three to $5 billion, depending on the estimates. And that's just for one crane plant. And so it is a, it is a tough situation all the way around.

[Eric Bolling]

So maybe we can compromise here and say, well, in industries or products like cranes, heavy, heavy equipment, there should be some sort of lead time leeway, a couple of years, we get a landing strip, so to speak, and allow these companies to upscale manufacture, manufacturing here in the United States without putting the immediate tariff on. Is that, is that something you'd be willing, would you, are you okay if they said, you know what, we'll give it a two year window, but that doesn't help you out now because you still can't secure the crane right away, right?

[Mike Appling]

Oh, we can go get cranes right now. I mean, when we are buying cranes in North America, we can buy cranes in Germany, we can buy cranes in Japan, but we need that Runway to figure out how to adjust the manufacturing base. And so exactly what you just proposed would be a big win for the construction industry at large.

[Eric Bolling]

You know, it's a very fascinating argument. So there's a, there's a huge group of people who believe we should do exactly what Trump is doing. You agree that raise the tariffs to bring manufacturing back here. I don't think it's going to happen. I don't believe that's the way companies work. I think they're more concerned with their bottom line and they'll just wait out the waiting period and they'll go back to the regular operations or once someone's not breathing down their neck about tariffs, it's just me. I'm being, I know people hate when I say that. I'm still an economist and I'm a free market economist on top of that. But maybe you pick it by industry or maybe you pick it by product. Should it be tariffs right now or should there be six months, a year, two years, five years, depending on how difficult it is to get up to speed manufacturing those products here? It's not a bad, it's not a bad compromise that might, I guess what my biggest problem is, everything became blanket tariff right off the top. And as we go forward, as you point out, you said coffee, bananas, I'll say I'll add beef autos. You know, it's several other different products that people who've petitioned the White House get a little bit relief on. So maybe it is industry by industry or product by product. But Mike, we hope you do figure out where you're going to go from here, make your appeal. Where can people find you and or help you out with, with this initiative?

[Mike Appling]

I think you hit the nail on the head earlier. Call your congressman, call your senator and this, the situation needs to be escalated where people understand that there are a lot of good things going on, but there are also a lot of things that are unintended consequences and we want to get that result.

[Eric Bolling]

Got it? Got it. Thank you, Mike Appling, CEO and owner of Lift High crane and rigging company. And God bless you, my friend. And let's hope you are in always in massive demand in the United States, certainly in the Texas area as well. Thank you, Mike.

[Mike Appling]

Thank you for your time, sir.

[Eric Bolling]

All right, folks, my next guest is a former NBA player, current GOP candidate for the United States States Senate, and the host of the Royce White show right here on Real America's Voice. Happy to have Royce White with us. Royce, on your website, you say senators should work for the people, not for their own net worth. That's, that's a tall ass. That goes for anyone in office. I mean, if we look at Nancy Pelosi, we look at someone who stepped into the office, they all do. They step in, I don't know, relatively broke. Small net worths, generally there are some big ones, but. And they walk away with tens of millions of dollars in net worth. Pelosi, we know she's, she's got something like a $300 million net worth. Maybe not all from stock trading, but man, what an advantage it is, this stock act that allows them, you know, almost like a get out of jail free card, perpetual get out of jail free card, when things that, if you and I did it, we'd be in jail for. How do we get rid of that?

[Royce White]

Well, I think if the Congress or the Senate can't balance a budget, then they shouldn't get their salary. You know, and I say this because it's, there's obviously insider trading going on that goes without question, plus the special interest in lobby money that can give you 100,000, $200,000 here and there for speaking and appearances and whatnot, book deals. The whole, the whole thing is kind of a money machine in some respects. But it doesn't hurt to have a $200,000 a year salary that you really don't have to do anything for other than show up and give lip service. So I think it would be a huge incentive for the Congress and the Senate to actually work for the people if their salary was contingent upon, upon actually governing this country. And I would be in favor that I would gladly bring a bill to do that as a, as a U.S. senator.

[Eric Bolling]

You know, there's such a conflict of interest, incredible conflict of interest when, you know, a senator or a congressperson is litigating laws that will affect companies, outcomes, affect companies profitability going forward, whether it's a water right over here or some, some sort of regulation over there or attacks and they're making these decisions or I'll never forget this. Paul Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi's husband, invested heavily in some chip stocks right before Joe Biden declared an $80 billion payout to chip companies to expand their, their company, their chip companies right before. And guess what happens right after when their stocks jumped, Pelosi sold them out. I mean, that is legitimately insider trading right there. But they were protected by what they call the Stock Act. It's, it's insane. We really, really, really need to get that thing fixed, and Anapoleon alone is trying to get it done. But, but even one step below that, let's just say we allow them to trade. You know, how about you can't trade individual stocks, you can't buy Nvidia before it gets a $5 billion payout from the government that you know about. Yeah, right, something like that. Royce.

[Royce White]

Of course, there are a lot of things that could happen. My, my biggest problem with the money in D.C. is obviously the sort of elephant in the room that the major donor class, the verticals of big corporate money, big globalist interests are prevalent, powerful, and sort of predominant for American political candidates. I mean, running for U.S. senate, and I said this the other day, it's almost a foregone conclusion that a U.S. senate candidate has to have pre committed to one of these lobbies or special interest groups to have any chance of raising the money necessary to be competitive. I think that's obscene in and of itself. And I say that in conjunction to the conversation about insider trading, because it speaks to a thread of financial and economic corruption and tyranny. It's no wonder why the government doesn't get anything done. They're filling their own pockets. And never, this is the thing people have to understand. Never in the history of human civilization have the elites of an empire gotten so rich during the decline of the empire. That's the thing that the American citizens have to be insulted by during. When the Roman Empire started to collapse. When the Roman Empire fell, the Roman oligarchs did not get as rich in the decline as our elites are getting here in America.

[Eric Bolling]

Royce, what does it take? You're running for con Senate. What's, what's the cost to run for Senate these days? The reason why I bring this up is, is, you know, when I first started covering politics 20 something years ago, you know, for a presidential cycle election, you didn't need to raise 2,300 million dollars, right? 2 or 300 million just to, to be considered in the game, so to speak. Yeah, a lot of people want to run. They just want to elevate their Q score. But to be legitimate contender, couple hundred million dollars, now it's probably close to two billion dollars to be considered a legitimate presidential candidate in the Senate, it used maybe a million. Inflation used to be a million dollars. What is it? What's a. You have a real shot at winning a Senate seat. How much money you need to have in your bank?

[Royce White]

I think that the, the, the conventional wisdom about the amount of money you need, it's a part of the scam, it's a part of the facade. I think that the 2 billion number that you threw out there has been the thought, I think that's a way to, as Eric Weinstein would say, prune the field of the populist candidates. Now, President Trump threw a wrinkle in that because he is a unique candidate in that he had his own money, had great financial vitality as an individual that he could parlay into the political. And then as he got more and more political, his momentum kind of carried him, and people had to jump on the bandwagon whether they liked him or not. So President Trump's an anomaly in the field.

[Eric Bolling]

But, hey, Rice, let me, Let me just jump on this with you and agree with you for maybe a little bit of a different reason, because Donald Trump, in the history of politics, politicians, he's a unique candidate ever, ever. No one garners as much what they call earned media. Earned media is technically what it means. Media just wants to hear what he has to say. Love him or hate him, they just have to hear what he has to say. No one has ever captured the. The world's attention the way Donald Trump has. So he may not need the billions, but otherwise, it's a lot of money. I mean, there's a reason why you're open up your computer, your laptop, and during the election season, you're getting bombarded with political ads because it costs a lot of money. But, but they're reaching the public. So my question is, can you. Can Royce White legitimately launch a Senate bid without having to, you know, sell your soul to the donor class?

[Royce White]

Well, that is. That is the catch 22 question that the American people have to answer was. The point I'm getting to is, number one, I did already in 2024 when I went against Klobuchar. We weren't successful, but our elections aren't secure either, and I was still able to increase the numbers on paper per the machine. Is that what they're saying in 2024, even in my defeat, is that the American populist movement is. Is. Is on the rise so much that we can't square not having an improvement in the numbers on Royce's side? And so we flipped 29 counties. And we could go deeper into that at another, at another point, but I think you can launch a successful campaign without the, and what I think the number probably is is 25 to 30 million dollars in a place like Minnesota. But you have to remember in the Georgia runoff against Herschel Walker, raphael Warnock raised $250 million in six weeks. I mean that, that's just in the, again, going back to your point about 20 years ago for presidential races now a Senate runoff is bringing the type of hundreds of millions of dollars it used to be for a presidential race, which is obscene. I mean, it's really obscene to be honest with you.

[Eric Bolling]

So, you know it's obscene, Royce. You know it's obscene. It's because, yeah, we hear about the number, you know, $200 million in Texas, $150 million in Ohio Senate seats. We hear about the number, but we don't realize and we don't really think of why, why are these groups spending so much money? Get these people elected. There's only one Amen. Because they're going to get something in return. They're going to get back.

[Royce White]

Right.

[Eric Bolling]

Go ahead.

[Royce White]

Yeah. And I, and I have zero, I have zero contributions from any pack. All of my contributions so far have come from individual donors and that's a very difficult thing to do. And, and, and stay in the, in the money hunt per the mainstream medias assessment. So I think the American people have to really, this may be the most important issue going into the 2026 midterms. President Trump won. He prevailed. He's a unicorn. He was able to raise money. But if we want to get 10 to 15 seats of real America firsters in the United States Senate, they're not going to give us the money to do it. The United States Senate is the bastion of the deep state and special interest lobby money. We're going to need 10 to 15 genuine grassroots sort of campaigns all across this country to take what I would call the, the, the, the swing control of the United States Senate. And that way we'll be able to help President Trump and his agenda on the second, the second phase of this second term.

[Eric Bolling]

Bryce, I think you, you speak volumes. You speak important ideas and we need to have a Royce white voice in D.C. whether it's the upcoming Senate or if, honestly, I'm not being mean here, rude, anything. But if it doesn't, if it doesn't, if you don't win that one, I'd love to see you come and maybe even just, just go after Elon Omar. I mean you want to talk about some of the most disgusting things that can possibly happen to in in America to the citizenry is when someone claims to be elected by the people, but claims to to only care about her home country of Somalia. And then note that when she entered Congress she had a negative net worth. And just a few four or six years later, suddenly it's a 30 million dollar net worth through her husband's business that they A lot of shenanigans can happen. But Royce, stay on it. We'd love to have you and get you back again real soon and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year brother.

[Royce White]

Merry Christmas brother. Thank you for having me.

[Eric Bolling]

See you again soon. All right folks, we'll be right back. Two and a half minutes.

Well, the world's favorite high school dropout was just arrested a couple days ago in London. The Christmas gift really to the world after seeing that grifter hauled off to jail yet again. What a sad fall from grace. Of course I use that word grace very, very loosely. There's no real grace for Greta th. Well, the world's favorite high school dropout was arrested this week in London. A Christmas gift to the world. Really seeing that grifter hauled off to jail yet again. What a sad fall from grace. Of course I use that word grace very, very loosely. There's no real grace for Greta Thunberg to fall from. From fighting a made up climate crisis to fighting a made up genocide that never happened. Greta Thunberg really is an inspiration to all sniveling, clueless, spoiled brats throughout the world. Mostly liberals. But in all seriousness, I really never understood why this propagandized student of Marxism became an obsession of the leftist ivory tower elite to begin with. But she has. And somehow she still is. And Greta Thunberg has become a bona fide child actress of the World Economic Forum. But the fact that Greta has all but abandoned her fight against climate change only proves that one she never really cared about climate change. And number two there's no real crisis of climate change to speak of. John Kerry was wrong, Al Gore was wrong, and Greta Thunberg was most certainly extremely wrong.

[Trainer Games Advertisement]

We are in the beginning of a.

[Eric Bolling]

Mass extinction and all you can talk.

[Trainer Games Advertisement]

About is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you.

[Eric Bolling]

No, how dare, how dare you, Greta. But it's true. Once upon a time, she probably did care what she thought. She knew ever since we found out back in June that the Antarctic ice sheet, also known as AIs, has shown signs of record breaking growth. And ever since, more and more climate scientists have come out to debunk years of leftist nonsense, the climate goblins have all but retreated. After all, John, privates, jets. Kerry once told us that Antarctica was at the core of climate change and the end of the world as we know it. I was at ground zero for climate change at McMurdo Station. And as I listened to these scientists from all over the world and looked at chart after chart where they traced what has been happening, describing the latest deeply alarming evidence of what is going on, I was generally scared. How do you translate this into a language that the average citizen can understand and connect to? I flew by helicopter over the great West Antarctic ice sheet, which now people say is threatened to perhaps break off or slide down. They've obviously been fear mongering and lying to us for years, decades even. Like Al gore saying in 2000, 2009, not that long ago, 16 years ago, mind you, that the polar ice caps would be gone in five to seven years, that there is a 75% chance that the entire north polar ice cap during summer, during some of the summer months could be completely ice free within the next five to six, seven years. Okay, or that the other time when John Kerry also in 2009, saying that in five years, also five years, we're doomed because of melting ice and stuff. In five years, scientists predict we will have the first ice free Arctic summer that exposes more ocean to sunlight. Ocean is dark, it consumes more of the heat from the sunlight, which then accelerates rates the rate of, of the, of the melting. See, when you do this, it makes you sound like you know what you're talking about. But they were all wrong. This is what they do to control us, to break us, to hurt our economies, to steal our money, to control us again. And even though their grift has been uncovered over the last few weeks or the next few weeks and months, it will snow and sleet in many parts of the Northern hemisphere, hopefully a white Christmas for some temperatures will go lower and lower. Okay? That's what happens in the winter. They'll even plunge to record lows in some places. They'll cry climate change instead of global warming. They change that. Most of us sane people like to call that winter. I don't know, call us crazy. I guess spreading the distortion of facts and claiming them as science wouldn't be the first time. Because real scientists, meaning those not purchased by the kings of propaganda, they'll tell you there's actually no such thing as climate change and no climate crisis whatsoever. And that a so called clean energy economy and their net zero goals are literally impossible to reach. John Kerry and Al Gore are ideological grifters and make not made make their living misleading and bilking ignorant fools like our governments. And if you follow the money, always follow the money, you'll find the skewed data to support climate change. And if you follow the thirst for power and control, you'll find that same stuff there too. Because it's about control. The pandemic was an exercise in seeing just how much control they could take and have over us. Lockdowns, mandates. They would love climate change lockdowns, green taxes, carbon taxes. There are men committing suicide in China because they've exceeded their allowed carbon footprint and are boxed out of society. They want that for all of us too. And the progressives. Everything is evidence of climate change. Arson. Climate change, hot day in July, climate change, cold day in December. Climate change. When these get your order wrong. Climate change or racism. They're supposed to be an age, an ice age by now. An ice age. No wait. There was supposed to be an Arctic summer, right? Nope. No arctic summer, no melted ice caps. Only climate fear mongering meant to control us. Isn't that right, Greta? Poor Greta. No climate crisis and no genocide. Whatever will Greta do now?

[Eric Bolling]

Well, ME thinks maybe AOC is due for an American history lesson and not a lesson at one of the propaganda schools that she and her party spend so much time defending. You see, AOC seems to have a lack of understanding about which political party sat on each side of the Civil War.

[Trainer Games Advertisement]

For example, Donald Trump and Stephen Miller want you to believe that this is who we are as a country, and we are here to say that it is not. We are a country that has fought and defeated the Confederacy, that has defeated a history of civil rights violations, of secret police.

[Eric Bolling]

Yeah, except that's not really what history tells us. For more cluelessness and lies, AOC has got you covered. Always. Democrats spent four years lying during the first Trump presidency, so why would anything be different during the second Trump presidency? Like continuing the lie that being here illegally is not a crime, or that ICE is removing American citizens. Among many other lies, President Trump ran.

[Trainer Games Advertisement]

On a promise to the American people that ICE would go after the worst of the worst. Well, we are now coming up on a year of this presidency, and I want to talk to the folks at home who feel disillusioned by what ICE is doing in our country. Because what we have seen is that ICE is not overwhelmingly going after criminals. In fact, over 70% of people currently detained in detention facilities do not have a criminal record. So who are they going after? They are going after six year olds in my district. They are going after students and permanent residents for their political views. They are going after Americans born and raised in the United States.

[Eric Bolling]

So right off the bat, she lied. Because when you break into the country illegally, you've committed a crime. So 100% of people in detention that are illegals have committed crimes. Sorry, your number's wrong. Just last month, in November, a woman named Bethany McGee was set on fire on a Chicago train. Her name and story, well, they're hardly mentioned. Because the inconvenient truth is that the man who did it was a repeat offender who should never have been out on the streets. But that's just so, so blue, isn't it? To hide that stuff, Democrats love letting criminals off the hook. So Governor J.B. pritzker, who continues to be in denial about how badly his state is being run because it's him and he wants to run for president, is avoiding dealing with the real problem and offers this solution instead. Oh, the irony, just a little ironic, that Democrats love to go on about how rude the President can be in his tweets and comments, and yet they can say things like this and somehow pretend not to see it as a country. We have three years ago with a man who's not only massively, and I mean massively corrupt, but I'm not sure possesses the basic elements of humanity. And I'm not sure he's not getting worse. I don't. It's not up to me because frankly, I wouldn't down his God throat if his heart was on fire. What happened to James Carville? He used to be like a sane politico. Not on the left, but still somewhat sane. Remember, he came up with it's the economy, stupid for Bill Clinton, which basically won the election for Clinton. If the left isn't busy saying awful things about President Trump and his administration or lighting Teslas on fire for no reason, they also like to turn to slamming an entire political party with their special brand of vitriol, like the ladies of the View. What's particularly interesting is how quickly the left has forgotten how so many of them reacted to Charlie Kirk's assassination and how few of them actually condoned the behavior.

[Royce White]

There is. There is no justification for him to.

[US Ski and Snowboard Insider Advertisement]

Have written what he wrote.

[Royce White]

There's no way to justify it.

[Eric Bolling]

And all of those Republicans who are quiet, damn you all. You're like, damn. Oh. So let me get it straight. Whoopi. He wrote something and said something. So he. There's no justification. Justification in your mind. So it's okay he was assassinated because there are a lot of people who disagree with you. Whoopi what are they supposed to do? The left doesn't seem to care that they incite violence against this country's federal officers and agents. Two National Guard members shot, one of them killed. There was a shooting in a nice facility before that. They just managed to stop a leftist terrorist attack. But it doesn't matter the likes of unfunny comedian Leslie Jones, nor to Nicole Wallace as she smiles when Leslie says this. How do you think it ends?

[Washington Post Advertisement]

How do you think the ERA ends?

[Caller/Mad Dog Viewer]

Girl, this is.

[Eric Bolling]

I'm hoping.

[US Ski and Snowboard Insider Advertisement]

This is what I'm hoping that midterms.

[Eric Bolling]

People come out and vote like crazy to switch it over. And then the reckoning comes. That's what I want. All everybody that work for ice, I want them in jail. I just want a reckoning. I want a reckoning.

[Royce White]

Y' all know y' all did wrong stuff.

[Eric Bolling]

You know, some of the stuff you did was so wrong. I need a reckoning, folks. Jasmine Crockett is looking for a miracle to help her win the Texas Senate seat, much like I'm sure it was a miracle that somehow got her the Texas congressional seat that she thinks she deserves. Jasmine thinks she can win the Senate without winning over Republicans because that worked out so well for Beto o' Rourke.

[Public Investing Advertisement]

In trying to win this state. Which tack are you taking here? Are you trying to reach out to voters who had otherwise cast ballots for Republicans or. Or are you going to go for a different tack, which is to build to bring about a new swath of.

[Royce White]

The electorate that hadn't previously come out?

[Trainer Games Advertisement]

It's a little bit of both. But I will tell you, it's more of the people that haven't been talked to than it is going and trying to win over Republicans. And I'm glad that you brought up Beto, because Beto is the last Democrat that came anywhere near clinching one of these statewide seats.

[Eric Bolling]

Beto. Beto. Have I been saying it wrong this whole time? Beto o' Rourke or Beto o'? Rourke? Let me ask someone who knows. The Minneapolis police chief says he refuses to cooperate with ICE when checks are given out, given the lack of leadership we've seen from that particular city. But then this guy decides to make a false equivalency to illegals just in time for Christmas.

[Royce White]

Having been raised a Catholic to be in a Christian church this morning, as.

[Eric Bolling]

We are Approaching Christmas.

[Royce White]

And I cannot help but think of what is happening in our city today and how that echoes with how outsiders.

[Eric Bolling]

Have been treated for thousands of years.

[Royce White]

How Mary and Joseph themselves were considered.

[Eric Bolling]

Outsiders and forced to stay in a barn. Now, there's no equivalency here. The ones who are taking care of our military, the other one, illegals are, are breaking into the country illegally. They need to go home. But it's really to point out as well, that's Minneapolis in the state of Minnesota, where the number is now $12 billion. $12 billion that that group or those groups of Somalians and others stole from tampon Tim Walls estate. $12 billion started a billion. It's up to 12. Who knows what I mean? This guy, he should be prosecuted. Forget throwing him out of office. He needs to be prosecuted. He was warned. It's. It's going to be one of the biggest corruption scandals in the history of the country. $12 billion and this clown cop says, oh, yeah, treat the military, treat them the way we're treating the illegals who broke the law to come into the country. These people are nuts. Nuts, folks. All right, People don't respond like this unless something real is actually happening. Look at those quotes. Incredible show. Lifting the veil of uncertainty.

Already you've been leaving great messages and again the voicemail. Keep them coming, keep them coming. If you keep them, keep them like 30 seconds or so. Just tell me what's on your mind. You can be mad, you could be upset, you could be happy, you could be funny. We like them all. You can sing, I don't know, do whatever you like. But we love your messages and I listen to just every single one I can. And again, I will get through all of them eventually. I might have to take a month off, but I'll get to them all. All right, Mad Dog, shoot me a voicemail. See, see what the folks have to say. All right. Viewer has comments about Sharia law in New Jersey.

[Caller/Mad Dog Viewer]

Eric, hope you're boiling. Mayor by guy on there's only one tribe that can be separate from the state and federal government and they get investigated by the feds if they do something that's Native Americans. Now these Islamists trying to establish Sahara law in New Jersey and Texas, that should be against the Constitution. There's only one people that can have this separation and hopefully our Constitution protects us from this. This is scary, but this is going on. This is the stuff they're going to try to pull. They have no rights. I see. You know. All right, thank you. Just a thought. Maybe you can check in to have a great day.

[Eric Bolling]

You're so right. But it's not just New Jersey and Texas. Look at New York. Mamdani gets elected before he's even sworn into office. They do a, they called it a pop up mosque in Times Square and is packed. Every space was taken by Muslim folks, Islamists who are on their knees doing their prayer thingy. Listen, I have no problem worship, do your thing. But you will never supersede the Constitution. You will never supersede U.S. law, U.S. code. U.S. code is the law of the land. The Constitution regulates the law of the land. But the problem is when they did this in Europe and we tried this, this Failed experiment in Europe. First it was in Germany. Women were getting raped at like insane levels. And they're all the people who came over from Muslim countries who they were doing in their own country when they came over and said, oh, look at these pretty British women. Not that there are a lot of British pretty women. Sorry, just kidding. But no, but the rapes were exploding because the. They never assimilated. And then there were. Paris was next, where the same things were happening. People were getting stabbed to death left and right from illegals, not even legals. They were legally coming over from migrants, mass migration coming from Middle Eastern countries. They want to do that here too, to the point where police don't go into certain neighborhoods. And London and Paris right now, they let them police themselves. No go zones. And I've told the story before. I was at Fox 15 years ago and I mentioned no go zones in. In London, in Paris, and I literally got called up to the office and they said, tone it down, bowling. Stop saying that. That's not true. Well, it was true and now it's out in the open true. So you want. You want to be more like Europe. Rape circs. The rate of rape is exploding. Murder by knife is exploding in these countries because the. The people who migrate don't. Are never forced to assimilate. That's why vetting works. That's why there's a process here. It takes almost 18 months in the United States to get a legal citizenship, to get a legal visa, to stay here. And that's. That system works because it makes people. It weeds out the people who are just coming over here to commit crime with the people who you want, who will come over here to make a better life for themselves and for the country. Mad Dog, viewer says he's the most qualified voicemailer.

[Caller/Mad Dog Viewer]

Well, hi, Eric. You know, Eric, I just want you to know that there are some that have said that I am the most qualified voicemailer to run for president. So there. Put that in your toxic mail pipe and smoke it for a while. The most qualified voicemailer to ever run for president. Some have said. I'm not going to tell you who to. Some are. Who does who the sum are. You're going to have to figure that out for yourself. I'll ask the questions, you just take the orders.

[Eric Bolling]

I got it. Mad Dog. He was hitting the eggnog a little hard. I think right around Christmas time. It got to him way too early. He just kept going, just kept going. All right, dude, you can ask questions. No, that guy, I Don't know his name, but he's a regular caller and he's very funny. So once in a while we listen to his, his humor. We like to break it up a little bit. Mad Dog viewer talks about people on Social Security.

[Caller/Mad Dog Viewer]

The raise that the Social Security people got was 2.8. They should be shaming themselves. That was nothing but a bunch of crumbs. And they need to change that. Cola need to be changed. It's not fair. That cola is not bad and it needs to be changed. Better for the American people, the people that's on, on Social Security and the disabled. It's a shame. 2.8 I was shame to tell somebody that. 2.8. It's a shame.

[Eric Bolling]

You know, this is a really good comment. Cola Cost of living adjustments to Social Security up 2.8%. Know what the number was for this, this period? But, but up to point, I don't remember inflation being only 2.8% annually. Remember when Joe Biden took over from Trump is 1.4, 1.5%. Ballpark it was 3% then it was 5% then was 7%, that was 9%. But every time it goes up, it's working off the prior price. So the prices keep getting bigger and bigger. And then when it goes from nine to seven, it doesn't go down, the rate goes down, but the prices continue to go up at a slower rate. So over the course of a year, 2.8% is insanity. It's nothing. It's a drop in the bucket. Look at how many tens of billions of dollars. First of all, we spent something like $250 billion on illegals just on the federal level. Forget the state and local level. On the federal level, $250 billion a year just giving away stuff to illegals coming over here, just giving away housing them, giving them food, making sure they're okay, making sure they have legal services given this. So hundreds of billions of dollars. There's plus we send off tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars to foreign countries to support whatever issues they got going on. How about you take care of our people, take care of our military and our and our old folks who are, who are living check to check Social Security, checker, paycheck to paycheck. Just take care of our own first. Be really, really nice thing to do. For some reason, D.C. has got their priorities all messed up. Mad Dog, we got time for another one. Yes, sir. Butch doesn't like the Democratic crime family.

[Caller/Mad Dog Viewer]

Eric, this is Butch from Ohio calling about the organized crime and Democrats, Democratic Party has become an organized crime syndicate and should be pointed out in the media that protects them. I. I hope that some. Somebody will start to recognize it and maybe start prosecution. Thanks.

[Eric Bolling]

You know, it's a. It's. It's an interesting concept. Not only are they. I think they're criminals. I think they protect criminals. They. They protect criminals at the expense of American citizens so many times. Cashless bail. Really? You nail someone doing something goes to jail and cashless bail. What's even the point? Wait, so you get a fingerprint and let them go? They're not coming back. Cashless bail, Keep them in jail, let them defend themselves and prove their innocence before we let them go. Right. It's insane. But. But to call it a criminal syndicate, it really would include RICO laws. RICO laws are crime syndications of crimes or different. Various groups get together, organize their crime, their plan, perpetrate the crime on the people. What a great idea. Because RICO crimes are punished at a higher level than just person to person crimes. And you're right. When they get together and they all have the same idea. Cashless bail. Let the criminals go. Let the criminal invaders. Illegal aliens coming in when you let them go too. Yeah. It is kind of a. A conspiracy, a group, a RICO conspiracy. Interesting. Maybe we should ask Rudy Giuliani about that. He's the only guy that I've ever known to break up a true crime syndicate. He broke up the mafia in New York when no one thought that was ever going to happen. Amazing. Amazing. All right. Always good hearing your voicemails. Have a great evening. Worms coming up next. And we'll be back here with a brand new show for you few tomorrow.
