Eric Bolling
All right, our first guest is our own RAV chief White House correspondent, Mr. Brian Glenn, who joins us today. Talk about Christmas at the White House. Brian, what do you think about the Christmas White House decorations this year versus, I don't know, clown show over the last four years prior to Trump?
Brian Glenn
Yeah, you know, Happy post. Merry Christmas to you. Good to see you, Eric. Yeah. Some described the decorations last year under the Biden administration as almost being carnival like, if you remember that, a carousel with horses and clowns and things like that. But that's not the case. This, this time. First Lady Melania really being in charge of all the decorations here at the White House has done a tremendous job. And I was there when the tree was delivered there and she inspected it. And it wasn't that short time afterwards that the public got to see that beautiful White House that she decorated. Even President Trump just the other day mentioning that the wreaths that are behind me on the White House have never been displayed as proudly as they are right now. But the president and the first lady has done an amazing, amazing job of bringing Christmas back to the White House this year in the first year of the second Trump 2.0. So what a great contrast to what we saw last year.
Eric Bolling
You remember, I don't know if you remember this, but the last two years of Trump 1.0 at both of the Christmas parties and Melania had made, first lady had made these, these red Christmas trees. And the left just, they just hate it. It was like they was just looking for things. They don't even recognize Christmas in the first place. But they couldn't stand it that she had red Christmas trees instead of, I mean, anecdotal. And it always, she's, she's she's been amazing. And speaking, the first lady, she's keeping the White House open during renovations because her focus is on welcoming people from around the world to experiencing actually people from around the country. Let's just say that the people's house.
Brian Glenn
Yeah, yeah. I just saw some people a couple days ago walking in front of the White House that I recognized from the great state of Georgia. And I asked them, why are you here? And they said, well, we took a tour. We wanted to see what, what the first lady and President Trump has done to the White House. So people are certainly very thankful that President Trump and the first lady has done a tremendous job on decorating this, this White House. And you're right, I'm surprised they didn't have rainbow flags, you know, in the Biden administration on the South Lawn. I mean, that was the extent of their decorating the White House.
Eric Bolling
I remember Christmas is back. Do you remember it was probably fourth of July when they had all those trans on the North Lawn and they, you remember Biden, he put the trans. The pride flag and he draped, he flanked the pride flag with two US Flags, which is an absolute no, no flag code. Do not do that. And he did it on the White House.
Brian Glenn
I, I actually thought, Eric, that that was a joke. When I first saw the images from that, I thought was this AI and this before AI really became as popular as it is now. But can you, can you believe they had men with breasts and bikinis walking around? It was insane to think that that took place here at the whites. How about the guy with the nuclear codes? The cross dressing trans guy that would stealing luggage at the airport and got in trouble for that. This is the administration. They had even the individual over at HSS or hhs, I should say that individual.
Eric Bolling
I don't know how they identify Health and Human Services. And you have, you have a trans that's running healthy human. It was, it was. You're right, you're right. It was almost a parody of itself. It was almost like south park wrote the four years of the Biden administration. Yeah.
Brian Glenn
It's almost like they were shooting a reality show. And now we have the reality of what the White House should look like, should behave, who should be running this country. And it's President Trump, no doubt. And it's been a very impactful, I would say first term. I think he's, you know, we talked about some of the accomplishments that he did. The border, I think being number one in my book that he was able to secure so quickly. And I know, we often talk about the border on this show because it was something that impacted everybody. Eric. Remember in the campaign trail, we said, no matter if you live in South Texas or south, you know, Michigan, you're going to feel the impacts of an open border in your community. Well, that hit, that instantly stopped, I think, almost a month, month into his presidency here, his border policies and of course, locking it down and making sure nobody came across. And in the last 90 days or so, I think, Eric, we've had like zero border crossings. The people who did come across that went back, so zero people coming in, which President Trump often says those numbers almost seem like they can't be real. That's almost too good to be true. But that is what's reported from very credible organizations that track this stuff. So it's been an amazing gift for the American people, a Christmas gift, if you will, that we have a safe border, secure communities. And I think that's something that we can all be very appreciative this Christmas season.
Eric Bolling
Clean up on aisle five is now clean up on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. I'm told this, I'm told to handle this sound bite properly because we're not allowed to play jingle. Here's what Lawfare is all about. We're not allowed to play Jingle Bells. We're not allowed because we don't have the rights to play. But watch the White House Christmas video and just imagine Jingle Bells overlaid on this. Just take a, you can see a little bit over there. Right? Let's give it a minute to watch.
Brian Glenn
Places from which they came.
Eric Bolling
That is brilliant.
Ted Nugent
Out of our country.
Eric Bolling
So, folks, if you can't see it here, it's Jingle Bells playing over mass deportations. And it's phenomenal. Watch out.
Ted Nugent
As long as it's not here. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.
Eric Bolling
I wonder who puts these together. Is it. I mean, obviously Stephen Miller is like the policy driver, so we know he's really, really tough on immigration. It could be him or Kristi Noem, where the President has recently said he has all the confidence in the world with.
Brian Glenn
Yeah, yeah. Well, they've got a great content creation team here. They really do. They have some really brilliant, creative people that kind of are in touch with the base. And I think the base appreciates short films like that, if you will. And they kind of poke fun at the left because, look, they, they demonized us, Eric, for four years. They called all of us conspiracy theories, conspiracy theorists. They pushed, you know, Russia, Russia, Russia. They Pushed, you know, the hunter. Biden's laptop was Russian myth, misinformation. They told us the border was secure. They told us there was no inflation while we were getting hammered. And you're an economic guy, you know this. We were getting hammered double digits every single month on inflation across the board. Every consumer but good service product, it was all getting hammered. And that all ended as soon as he came into office. And yet, you know, got inflation. Obviously, prices have come way down. But my God, look what he inherited. Eric, you're a financial guy. You can, you know, you know this better than anybody watching us. And anything that I could ever say on, on air, he inherited a financial disaster when he came into office.
Eric Bolling
Another cleanup. Another cleanup in the left only, remember? And by the way, that was my question in the, you know, a couple weeks ago in the briefing room when they gave me the new media seat. Thank you, Caroline Levitt, very much for that. First question was I'm looking at a bunch of legacy media folks, especially in the front row. And by the way, Fox was in the front row at the time. And that was very purposeful. And I said, how come they don't remember the four years under Biden when they're calling this affordability crisis is what they were saying in the media. And Caroline hit that ball. I laid it up, but she hit it over the fence. No question about it. And I really was about to say, how come they don't remember those four years? Isn't that right, Caitlin? I was going to lean over and look at Kaitlan Collins down at the end of the first row, but I thought better of doing that because it was the White House, after all. Hey, B. So we have a couple minutes left. I want to ask you how the newly engaged doing. You got engaged to Marjorie Taylor Greene a couple of weeks ago, and it's just fantastic. Or a week or so ago. Fantastic. Want to know how the, how the newly engaged are. Are spending the Christmas and New Year's holidays?
Brian Glenn
Well, that's. I appreciate that. And, and I do think all the viewers that have posted up messages of congratulating us. That's very nice. We know we've been dating for a couple years now, and you kind of get to a point. Eric. They've got to move beyond the girlfriend boyfriend. That's. I'm no longer in middle school, not in high school. We need to formalize this. And we both know that, hey, you're, you're pretty much the only person I want to say spend my, the rest of my life with we agree on so many things. Just politics aside, we're very much the same person. And so we decided the time was right. Joe's Seafood, which is a couple blocks behind me, I just arranged for our usual table that we go to, made sure everything was right, and proposed there at the restaurant. And then. And then, you know, put it up on social media and let social media do what they do. But it's been. It's been a great experience, and I have gotten a lot of people here at the White House come up to me, people that I've never even met before, that I've seen every day, have thanked me and congratulated me for that engagement. And so I just want to thank everybody who was. Send their. Their. Their best wishes for me. I appreciate that. But, yeah, no plans. No wedding plans yet. No. Nothing in stone. I don't know when. We're still trying to get past this holiday season, get into New Year's, and we'll deal with everything down the road, but I certainly appreciate you bringing that up.
Eric Bolling
Two quick ones, two quick questions. Does Brian Glenn get on his knee at Joe's Seafood? And number two, how are you getting treated with maga? I mean, I love you guys both, and I wish you congratulations. And, you know, they're getting on us, but they'll get over it. Yeah.
Brian Glenn
You know, what's the question? Number one, No, I did it in a booth. I didn't get on my knee. I could have, but the booth was too cramped and I would. I'm old and I wouldn't be able to get back up.
Eric Bolling
That would be a great second. I'd love to see video of you in the booth, but. I'm sorry, in the booth.
Brian Glenn
But the second one. You know, it's interesting about our MAGA that there is a percentage of people in our base that absolutely are blinded by certain things, and because of her resignation, they think, for whatever reason, she's a traitor. And she thinks, for whatever reason, I've a traitor to President Trump. And Eric, I'm telling you right now, the man that sits in that White House, which, by the way, he's not there, he's down in Mar A Lago, still loves me and has publicly said that, publicly supports me, supports his network. I support him. I support the presidency, his Trump administration. So there's no love lost there. But I call them the booger readers, Eric.
Eric Bolling
Yeah.
Brian Glenn
The booger readers on the Internet will try to tell you otherwise. So don't listen to them. Listen to the horses.
Eric Bolling
Brian, let me tell you something. I was with Trump in 2013 when he was doing Celebrity Apprentice. I was probably one of the big reasons he was elected in 2016 because most people at Fox didn't even want that to happen. I was the most vocal voice and I congratulate two of my good friends and all of a sudden I'm being told I'm an anti Trumper. Like, what is wrong with people? You can tell. You can tell two people you love dearly that you wish them very well. Even if you don't agree with what's going. Just relax. It's an engagement. Brian, Merry Christmas. Yeah, go ahead.
Brian Glenn
Merry Christmas to you. No, I was just going to say, by the way, she's never invited on Fox to do anything. She's blacklisted from Fox. So when she goes on CNN or Bill Maher or any one of these networks, she gets completely attacked. But at the same time, Fox can have Fetterman on. Fox can have all these other liberal Democrats on and it's okay if they go on, but if Margie Taylor Greene goes on any other network other than real America's Voice or conservative network, she gets. Gets attacked. So what it is what it is. Merry Christmas to everyone watching this. You, Eric, you're a rock star. I appreciate you. I love you. I enjoy being on your show and I hope that Santa brought you everything you wanted.
Eric Bolling
This well, 2026 pre. We're gonna see a lot of you. And please, the best to Marjorie Taylor Greene as well. From bowling, sir.
Brian Glenn
I will.
Eric Bolling
All right, guys. Thank you, Brian. Folks, motivation we talk about all the time, but I talk about it specifically in the edge. It shows up when things are easy and disappears the second things get hard or the heat gets turned up. Purpose is different. Purpose doesn't care how you feel. Purpose doesn't wait for conditions. Purpose keeps moving. When motivation dies, quits on you. If you're relying on motivation, you're already losing. If you're anchored to purpose, you won't stop. Purpose beats motivation. Motivation fades. Purpose compounds. Build your purpose and watch your whole life tighten up. Hit, subscribe, join the edge. Purpose driven movement. And that right there is what the edge is all about. That's why I developed the edge. It's not hype, it's not slogans. It's purpose under pressure and we're exploding. We're a platform. We're movement. Subscribe. If you hit the that QR code with your phone, the little yellow line comes up, press it. You've subscribed. How's this? Do me a favor.

All right, I just. I just love this guy. The next yes, he's a ball of American spirit and I bet holiday spirit as well. Let's get right to the one, the only, the Motor City mad man and my good friend, Mr. Ted Nugent. Really good to have you, Santee Claus. Santi Claus.
Ted Nugent
Watch me coming down your chimney. You know, my Christmases are very special because I'm a very special guy. You know why? Because my buddy gave me Christmas socks with an AK47 on them. That's an AK47 on my Christmas sock. Did you get Christmas socks with an AK47 on it?
Eric Bolling
No, I actually got Christmas socks with Rolling Stones on them, believe it or not. I mean, that's a close second.
Ted Nugent
All right, good. Merry Christmas.
Eric Bolling
The sporting the Santa Claus look, I'm. I guess Santa Claus is packing some heat, too. All the time, right?
Ted Nugent
Well, you know, during the hunting season, I turn into Natty Bumpo. I turn into Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett and. And Teddy Roosevelt and I whack him and I stack them and I track them, hacking my hack them. And I've got venison flowing to the soup kitchens and homeless shelters so they think I'm Mother Teresa with a bow and arrow. So I celebrate the Christmas spirit. Hands on hardcore.
Eric Bolling
Was it Bad Santa or Fred Claus? Remember, those are like Classic Christmas, Christmas movies. I love to be of the fly on the wall, the Ted Nugent Christmas household.
Ted Nugent
Well, I'll tell you, my son Rock was put together this outrageous book, thousands of pages called Ted Nugent the Gonzo Life. And she, he went back and sat down with my brothers and sisters and my members. And Christmas has always been a huge celebration at the Nugent family. I was born in Detroit in 1948 after World War II, where the positive spirit, the work ethic, the proud patriotism was ubiquitous and universal and powerful. And Christmas and Thanksgiving and Independence Day and Veterans Day and Memorial Day, which by the way, we celebrate Christmas, Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving and Independence Day, every day. And now that the new year is coming out with 250 years celebrating an American dream experiment in self government, I recommend everybody celebrating Eric Bolling's real America voice that you celebrate those great, great sensations all year long. Just an idea from the gonzo guy.
Eric Bolling
Love it, love it. We Love it here, Ted. 250 years, right? What's more at risk? I know if it's Democrats, they're probably all at risk. The First Amendment or the Second Amendment.
Ted Nugent
Right now, I think it's a photo finish for a threat against the most instinctual. Remember, these aren't government authorized freedoms. These are individual freedoms from God, instinctually and just happen to be guaranteed on that sacred U.S. constitution document. But I'm just a guitar player and you're just an Eric Boling. But we know deep in our heart and soul that what is outlined in this unique experiment in self government is as pure, natural, instinctual, and must be protected and celebrated and fought for every day. So that's why holidays, Christmas or New Year's, whatever it is, even if I'm doing an incredible soul music concert, which I'm doing all the time now, so, so effervescent, it's insane. But my family has always known that this American dream is pure, it's instinctual and it's being chipped away. The First Amendment and the Second Amendment. Just to be clear, I don't need anybody's authorization to open my mouth and speak my mind. I don't need paperwork, I don't need a license, I don't need a permit. Same for the Second Amendment. All those regulations and laws are illegal. They're infringements. I do not bend over for those.
Eric Bolling
I love it. I love it and I. We've always said, Ted, we protect the First Amendment with the Second Amendment with the right to carry, because it's not about the right to carry. Against your fellow citizens, the right to carry. Against the. A tyrannical government and government that wants to reach into your pockets, reach into your bedroom, and reach into every part of your life.
Ted Nugent
You know, we're doing these concerts. I run around and play a great band. John Coutts on drums, Jason Hartless on drum, Johnny Big on bass guitar. We just get a trailer full of equipment like 1960 playing VFW halls in Detroit. It's so pure, so natural, so Chuck Berry, so Little Richard. And I introduce Stormtrooping, which was the 200th anniversary of the American Revolution. In the early morning hours, there's a din in the air Mayhem on the loose Stormtroopers coming, you better be prepared there's no time to lose they're coming up your street Jack boots stepping high, you gotta make a stand Looking in your window, listening to your phone Keep a gun in your hand that was the kid from Detroit. Understanding why we have revolutions now, 250 years later, when I introduced Stranglehold. On stage. Every night, nobody's feet touch the ground because the essence, the. The power, the. The pulse, the heartbeat of that song. And my music really is the soundtrack for absolute rugged individualism and independence. And my music has never meant more. I have heroes from the military and their families and law enforcement and SWAT and special ops and people with no id. I have the greatest audience in the world, and we play all these different games. We're playing Billy Bobs and in Fort Worth on January 23rd in Heritage hall in Oklahoma, because I'm able to do the rock and roll concerts and then come home to Shaman and the dogs every night. Is my life perfect or what?
Eric Bolling
I tell you what. My life would be perfect. I see some of those concerts I would love. You know this, Ted. I. I freaking grew up listening. Strangle is the greatest song ever written, ever played, ever written, ever performed, bar none, period. It's on my ringtone.
Ted Nugent
I was defying the industry that was making fun of me because I murder innocent animals. It's called barbe, numb nuts. And because I carried a gun, because my life is not only worth protecting, but I have a spiritual, moral, intellectual, constitutional obligation to have the tools necessary to defend my life. And if you notice, Eric, that all these people that are raped and stabbed and bludgeoned and attacked on the beaches, you know what they all have in common? They're unarmed and helpless. Here's my New Year's chant for my fellow Americans. Get a damn gun. Know how to use it, and protect your sacred gift of life. Life be Radical. Stand up for your own independence and self sufficiency.
Eric Bolling
One billion percent agree with you. Ted. I want to get back to the music in a second. I have a little fun with you, but in the meantime, well just do this first. We saw you put something up on TikTok and I think it's really poignant. I think you're really striking the correct chord. See what I did there? See what I did there? Let's take a listen, folks.
Ted Nugent
Donald Trump, I love you. I love Donald Trump and Hegseth and Kristi Gnome Cash. I love all you people. But if you're saving us trillions of dollars in otherwise fraudulent, illegal, power abusing waste of our taxes. You've, you've, you say you found trillions of our wasted, ripped off tax dollars, then give them back to us.
Eric Bolling
Yeah. And you go on to say it's ours. You're right. You're 100% right. They're doing the right thing. But make sure they do the right thing once they do the right thing.
Ted Nugent
Well, we're obviously took a turn for the right, the correct, the righteous with Donald Trump after the embarrassment of so many years in history, especially the last four. But yeah, my logic, common sense truth meter is pinned right now and I want, I want my immorally wasted tax dollars back. We want them back. Those of us that pay taxes up the ass or out the ass, we, we need to get our money back since you stole it from us, Uncle Sam. And also, where are the arrests? If I was in charge, Eric, we'd run out of rope in a week. There needs to be arrests. American citizens who have to be held accountable would like our government held accountable. So there's a lot of unanswered questions right now, but we pray for the great Donald Trump and his team because we obviously are on a better track than we've been in a long time. But we're not perfect. We're not even close to perfect yet. I love when the Venezuelan dope boats get blown to smithereens. I have a loop and I just watch that for inspiration. So he's doing a lot of the right things, but we're not quite caught up yet with a we the people accountability representation by Uncle Sal.
Eric Bolling
We agree with you here. Bowling show almost daily, certainly every other day at least. Where are the perp walks? Want to see some perp walks? Got to see them. Otherwise they're going to continue. The swamp will be the swamp until you start taking some of the, taking some out, putting a few of them behind bars and they, they rethink their action. They don't want to end up like that guy. Unfortunately, for the past 249 and a half years, they've done the same BS and gotten away with it. And so it's, it's like the whole boy network, the swamp backroom deals. You're not going to get in trouble. You'll do it now. Guess what? We may do it next time. When. When you're president or you, you have the Senate or you have the House. It's awful. It's got awful, it's got a break. And Trump's the guy to do it. Hopefully he does. Ted, the music. I got to do this. We do this all the time. So you're going down this tour? I guess it's a love song tour, right? I mean, Cat Scratch Fever, Wang Dang Sweet Poontang Stranglehold Here I come again now, baby like a dog and he, you tell me by the clamor now, baby I like to tear up the streets. I mean, these lyrics are just poetic romance songs, aren't they?
Ted Nugent
You know, I don't write music. I have a guitar and an amp and I'm always experimenting with new frequency exploration. I'm like Lewis and Clark and my guitar is Sacagawea. And we go into uncharted territory and we fondled each other at night. Is that in the history books? Well, it is starting right now. And my point being is that my enthusiasm, you may have noticed this, my passion, my love affair with what Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry and Little Richard taught us and James Brown and Wilson Pickett, the Motown Funk Brothers. What they taught us about defiant, uppity, outrageous, uninhibited, irreverent soundtracks to the human experience has to cover all those bases. And when I sit down with the guitar, these rhythms just erupt, like Little Richard's playing the keyboards with his left hand and just boogie woogieing up a storm. I love that guy. And so when I start singing, if you got a chord that's going, what else are you going to sing except Cat Scratch Fever and then Wang Dang Sweet Poontang was just an extension of my effervescent masculinity, where I wanted to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of gonzo, sexy happiness. So they're all instinctual. You know, the samurai guy that's said, you can't be a samurai art artist if there's too many minds. I don't think when I play the guitar, it happens from my guts and my balls and my Spirit and my enthusiasm, and it's as pure as anything in life, and I'm so proud of that. And again, the musicians at my side. Holy God in heaven, am I the luckiest guitar player in the world or what?
Eric Bolling
And anyone that gives you any kind of garbage about. You can't. I can't say those things anymore. I mean, have you listened to I Won't say the Word, but it's Wap Wap. And I won't say what that really stands for. Wow. You want to talk about lyrics that you shouldn't. Your kids shouldn't listen to. Meanwhile, I think your. Your lyrics are amazing. I think young people just should embrace being young.
Ted Nugent
Well, Eric, at my gigs, we do these speakeas. They just did my birthday bash at the Rattlesnake Roadhouse. And just thousands of maniacs, real music lovers. Nobody's feet touched the ground. A lot of teeth and eye, a lot of fists, a lot of shaking hips, A lot of dancing. A lot of maniacs. There's all these young kids there. I have to watch what I say on stage to keep it PG 16 at least. But the parents are bringing their kids because they love the enthusiasm, they love the passion. Plus, the most important message in a Ted Nugent concert is that you can't be having as much fun as Ted Nugent unless you're clean and sober like Ted Nugent. And they bring their children. We got people at my gigs older than me that's really old, and kids, little boys and girls. I bring my grandkids to the gigs and they immediately understand what Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley and Little Richard and these black, defiant originators created. And those of us that still play music. Leonard Skinder's on the road, Steven Tyler's still jamming, Sammy Hager's still jamming. These great bands. Styx is still out there. Night Ranger is still out there playing. Incredible. We're all children of Chuck Berry and James Brown. And they will all admit that. And that's. That's contagious. That's so pure and human that the kids like it, the old people like it. And again, I feel blessed every time I strap on again.
Eric Bolling

But on the way out, we're gonna play just a little video from one of your earlier years when. When you're on stage in the loincloth and throwing the rocks out to out to the folks. Ted when you're in Florida, please let me know when you're playing. I I'm going to be there. I'm going to be come see you.
Ted Nugent
Well, play rock and roll and kill some pigs. That's what we're gonna do. Go to see the table in Naples. We'll have the time of our life.
Eric Bolling
I'm gonna be there. Ted Nugent Everyone, have a great Christmas and a happy New Year.

Eric Bolling
You know, Democrats have this way of saying some of the craziest things without a single shred of, I don't know, self reflection or irony, right? Behold, I give you one of the latest from, oh, this guy Barack Obama.
Barack Obama
We are more divided and that our democracy is more unstable than any time in my lifetime. Not in American history. I mean, we did have like a civil war and stuff. I mean there have been some pretty big, you know, breakdowns in the process. But I would say that the order, the system, the sets of institutions that were built after World War II.
Eric Bolling
And.
Barack Obama
Then refined over the course of subsequent generations, I think those are unstable.
Eric Bolling
This guy is referring to this. While he's known as the divider in chief in that kind of like the pot calling the kettle Obama, he's also known as the deporter in chief. He did everything in his power to divide this country, leaving in far worse shape than how he found it. And he's out here talking about more divided than ever. The fractions we see, the America hating protest policies, those all stem from his own fancy work as president. Eight years of that, by the way. But wait, there's more. The eight years of Barack Obama's presidency were so damaging, every possible aspect, that the repercussions will continue to be felt in America for decades to come. And then the de facto third term of Obama presidency, also known as Joe Biden, well, the sleepy Joe Biden at the helm did even more damage to the country. So he has the audacity to sit there and talk about how divided America has become, which is really code for they're really desperately, desperately trying to undo the damage that I did. That's what he's saying. And just a few months ago, back in July, we found out, thanks to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, that there are receipts that prove that Barack Obama knew Russia didn't interfere in the 2016 election. But Obama, then president, forces agencies, an army of treasonous sobs, to continue to try and destroy Donald Trump. And yet, once again, without a shred of irony, he goes on to say this.
Barack Obama
I would not have expected the legitimacy of an election and the peaceful transfer of power to be. To have been challenged. I thought that was not something that would happen today. I would not expect. The politicization of the Justice Department or our military, and I don't think that's happened. I think there's been resistance, particularly in the military, to that. But the degree to which that has been encouraged, you know, that used to be something that I would lecture other countries not to do.
Eric Bolling
Got it. So a president whose FBI leadership was texting about insurance policies against Donald Trump being elected as president and the head of a party that spent four years calling the 2016 election illegitimate, who told his agencies to continue to investigate something he already knew wasn't true. Russia collusion, that is. It's actually sociopathic for Obama to sit there in that armchair and say those things, but it doesn't stop there. Why not lie some more, Barry?
Barack Obama
The Justice Department. Eric Holder was my Attorney General. I never spoke to him about any active case.
Eric Bolling
Because.
Barack Obama
Our democracy requires that no one is above the law. And that as best as we can manage it, the power of the state is wielded in an objective way that people can trust. So that when a prosecutor says somebody does something, we know they have to present their evidence. And when a judge rules on something, we are going to abide by it, even if we don't like it, because we believe that their fealty is to that higher standard. And so there are norms like that that have been eroded, actively undermined in some cases that I believe are a problem.
Eric Bolling
Wait, you never spoke to your own Attorney General? Eric Holder about an active case ever. Can I call bull on that? Well, I just did. Total lie. What was that again? Right out of the mouth of Eric Holder, by the way, about being President Obama's wingman. I'm happy.
Ted Nugent
I'm still enjoying what I'm doing.
Eric Bolling
There's still work to be done. I gotta. I'm still, you know, I'm still a.
US Ski and Snowboard Insider Advertisement
President'S wingman, so I'm there with my boy.
Eric Bolling
Yeah, yeah. For Barack Obama to pretend that he had a totally independent Department of Justice, especially with what we've learned and continue to learn, is laughable, to say the least. You're telling me that Eric Holder, Obama's wingman, ran an independent Department of Justice? And Obama wants to talk about judges, does he? Well, he and Soros work together to place as many politicized judges in, into the system. And we see it day in and day out today with them doing everything in their power that they can at every turn to block and dismantle every single thing President Trump and his administration are trying to do. He knew exactly what he was doing. They're always Obama appointed judges, aren't they? Certainly seems that way. But then just when I was at my peak of anger and disgust that this guy's lying and dishonesty, obviously deflections, Obama goes on to say this.
Barack Obama
I actually think that the mainstream news still does a very good job of just presenting facts.
Eric Bolling
You sure you want diversity of opinion? I'm not so sure you want that, Barack, but if you fell off your chair when you heard that, you had the correct reaction, just like I did. What is. Is he even talking about the same media that works for the Democrat Party? The same media that's lied for years, it covered up for Joe Biden and Hamas? The same media that edits videos to make their preferred candidates look better? The same media that covered up for Joe Biden's obvious mental decline. Russia collusion. Russia disinformation. Hunter. Biden's laptop is a conspiracy theory. They said it COVID pandemic debacle. Science. Yeah, right. Is that the media? He's talking about the same guy, Guy who seems so worried about misinformation.
Barack Obama
Part of what we're going to have to do is to start experimenting with new forms of journalism. And how do we use social media in ways that reaffirm facts, separate facts from opinion? We want diversity of opinion. We don't want diversity of facts.
Eric Bolling
This man has become a walking parody. For some reason, people still care what he thinks, what he says, even though he did everything in his great power to destroy and divide America, and every single word he's allowed to utter out of that only, only, only big flapping mouth of his only reminds us of the fact over and over again, he hated America. We'll be back. Two and a half minutes.

Eric Bolling
Alrighty folks. So last week I promised that a Christmas gift for our audience would be to pick a winner out of the list of many nominees for the most embarrassing member of US Congress. Nominees, of course include, in no particular order, of course, right now, AOC Elon Omar, Jasmine Crockett and Eric Swalwell, among others. And the winner is, without a shadow of a doubt from our side of this camera, the most embarrassing member of Congress in the year 2025 is none other than Jazzy Jasmine Crockett. Of course, you knew that was coming, right? And we would like to congratulate and honor Jasmine Crockett by showing you some of her greatest hits of this past year. It's just part of my Christmas gift to our wonderful audience. Starting strong with this golden Jasmine moment. It was one of her lowest points of the year among so many. So hard to just choose one, by the way. But Jasmine Crockett showed just how classless and how really low she is by hurling the most disgusting insult at the governor of Texas State she now wants to represent in the Senate. It by the way, listen to this.
And because we in these hot ass Texas streets, honey, y' all know we got governor hot wheels down there. Come on now. And. And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot ass mess, honey.
Ted Nugent
So.
Eric Bolling
So. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
See how that works for the the voters of the great state of Texas. Jazzy Jasmine, you are the winner. Though clueless and classless Back in March, the left were burning Teslas and doing damage to Tesla cars and dealerships. Things started to get particularly violent as Democrats incited violence against Elon Musk. They didn't like what he was doing with Doge, some even calling for him to be assassinated when he was heading up that Doge agency and helping downsize the insane levels of government spending. Jasmine Crockett was certainly no exception in pushing for that violence against Musk and Tesla. So watch.
So I'll make sure that I keep it short. But I am truly here for very selfish reasons. Starting with on March 29th. It's my birthday and all I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down. Yes.
Really?
Brian Glenn
Ooh.
Eric Bolling
Even her own party thought that particular percent comment, recent comment was disgusting and tasteless. Which is her new Senate campaign slogan, by the way. Or at least it should be. But this comment seems to fit Jasmine's particular brand of. I don't know. She loves to use a race card. She's got so many race cards in her deck, she keeps fling them and using them. Race baiting.
So I had to go around the country and educate people about what immigrants do for this country or the fact that we are a country of immigrants.
Ted Nugent
Right, Right.
Eric Bolling
The fact is, ain't none of y' all trying to go and farm right now. Okay, so I'm lying. Raise your. Raise your hand. You're not. You're not. We done picking cotton. We are. You can't pay us enough to find a plantation.
I'll leave it at that. More race baiting from Jasmine Crockett. Why not? Hey, at least she's consistent. And there's something to be said about consistency here. Our most embarrassing member of Congress proves she's also one of the most racist, racist members of Congress as well.
They don't want to talk about white supremacy. I don't know how many hearings we gonna have about the fact that there's been this one immigrant that killed this one person. And no, I'm not excusing any killings by them or white supremacists. But they haven't had these hearings. We didn't have a hearing on Buffalo and what happened there.
We didn't want more. What more? How about the time Jasmine Crockett had the nerve to stand next to a drag queen and insult the appearance of of MAGA women?
Brian Glenn
Okay, A lot of the MAGA women.
US Ski and Snowboard Insider Advertisement
Receive gender affirming care such as lip.
Brian Glenn
Fillers, breast augmentation, etc. Why do you think they are so against Gender affirming care for trans people. You know you want to say it.
Eric Bolling
Okay, so I. So I have this thing where, like, you know, a MAGA woman, when you see 1000%, they all have a look, right? But they, like, they lips be up to anyway. That's a whole other issue. But, yeah, yeah, it's. They don't even know, because when that was brought up on the House floor, because there was a discussion about this on the House floor, they were like, how dare you say we use. And it's like, no, that's exactly what y' all do. Y' all just didn't realize that that's what it is. But okay. Yeah, yeah.
Also interesting that Jasmine Crockett decided to make this particular comment back in August, just the weeks before Charlie Kirk was assassinated. And after a solid year of inciting violence, Crockett was able to say something, something like this without a hint of irony. And it wouldn't be a day if Jasmine Crockett didn't run her mouth about President Trump and maga. So far this week, Jasmine has said that we're all racist. She said we're all patriotic, and now we're all violent, too.
The violence doesn't come from Democrats, just to be clear. I mean, obviously, anyone can be a criminal, but it is maga. It's specifically MAGA faction. Like, I don't think traditional Republicans are getting engaged in all of this, but, like, even when we look at. And they don't talk about the assassination attempts anymore, that took place with Donald Trump. But these. These were Trump supporters, right?
Jasmine, taking to the airwaves the day of Charlie Kirk's funeral to smear him as a new love. Jasmine Crockett. This one you have to see to believe.
The rhetoric that Charlie Kirk continuously put out. There was rhetoric that specifically targeted people of color. And so it is unfortunate that even our colleagues could not see how harmful his rhetoric was specifically to us. And I can tell you that a month prior to him passing away, he had actually gotten out on his podcast. I wasn't aware of this at the time, but he got out there and he was talking negatively about me directly. So if there was any way that I was going to honor somebody who decided that they were just going to negatively talk about me and proclaim that I was somehow involved in the great white replacement. Yeah, I'm not honoring that kind of stuff.
You know, Jasmine, just because Charlie Kirk spoke negatively about you doesn't mean he's racist. A lot of people speak negative about you. A lot of African Americans are African Americans who speak negatively about you, Jasmine Crockett. Are they racist too? You're nuts, lady. This is all gift wrapped in one big package for you. Video proof of why promoting Jasmine Crockett from most embarrassing member of the House to most embarrassing member of the Senate would be one of the worst ideas in our country's political history. Grab your eggnog and enjoy Cringeworthy Jazzy Jasmine Crockett.
In fact, Ms. Perry, I know your organization, the Heritage foundation loves Texas. Oh, they love Texas. They always sending us some nonsense bills. And to understand enough about the Constitution. To the extent that I'm the one that's supposed to make the decision or at least get a vote, someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleach blonde, bad built, butch body that would not be engaging in personalities. Correct?
Ted Nugent
What now.
Eric Bolling
Chairman? Because we in these hot ass Texas streets, honey. Y' all know we got governor hot wheels down there. Come on now. And the only thing hot about about him is that he is a hot ass mess. Honey, you not. We done picking cotton. We are. You can't pay us enough to find a plantation.
Brian Glenn
I know. That's right.
Eric Bolling
But when we start talking about things that look like evidence, they want to act like they blind. They don't know what this is. These are our national secrets. Looks like in the. To me, this looks like more evidence of our national secrets. Say on a stage at Mar a Lago. So she gonna keep saying trans, trans, trans. So that people will feel threatened and child. Listen. Send them to Texas, they send them to Florida. Every deplorable state that we can think about. They usually coming out of Yalls think tank. We're talking about his son. We're talking about someone who is an actual citizen. Just a regular schmegular citizen. Listen, we're not talking about somebody who could not pass a background check. Don't tell me to calm down. Because y' all talk noise and then.
Washington Post Advertisement
You out of control.
Eric Bolling
Cause if I, chairman, come and talk about her, y' all don't have a problem. Mr. Chairman, like, baby, you probably need a good black woman in the room who can check you and tell you that first of all, you shouldn't be doing this on signal or anything else. But baby, baby, y' all got the white supremacist galore, okay? Like all of them. You got the proud boys. You got. You got the neo Nazis. You have people that literally should be classified as domestic terrorists. The Republicans are gonna lose the House and y' all run this back for them when they do.
Behold Jazzy Jasmine Crockett, folks.

Sorry, Rav. I think Pam Bondi is not long for this job. I just, I think they're, I, I'm getting, I'm getting the sense that a lot of it's coming down to people pointing the finger at the Department of Justice. She's the Attorney General, she runs the Department of Justice. And I, I'm guessing that she will be the first head to roll, so to speak, in, in the cabinet. Now, that may be controversial. Sorry about that, but. And by the way, Pam's a great person. She's a good friend, friend of mine, former Attorney General of the state of Florida. I've known her almost a decade. She's great. It's just not, and I don't know if it's her fault or not. Just for whatever reasons. It's just lined up where it's. She's going to take the brunt of the blame for this. So I wouldn't, I would not be surprised to see a different attorney. Remember how bungled it was. First it was going to be Matt Gaetz and those bam Bondi. It's really the area that Trump really needs to clean it up, fix it and I think think, you know, does it trickle down into the FBI cash? Patel is there. Bongino left on his own. I don't know. I think the DOJ really needs to kind of get its act together. Mad Dog, Speaking of the Bears, this.
Ted Nugent
Viewer heard that the Bears are moving to Indiana.
Eric Bolling
Eric, I just found out on the news that the Bears are going to move to Indiana because the state won't give many tax breaks in building a new stadium. What do you think about that? I think it's going to drive the people nuts in Chicago, all the fans. I think that she that should get them motivated to get Pritzker out of office by thank you for the comment. Yeah, I've heard this too that the the Bears are negotiating with with the state with Pritzker and they're giving them a hard time about some tax breaks that a lot of other teams get in other cities and they're threatening in Indian. Indiana. State of Indiana, I think it was whatever Northwest Indiana or whatever closest to the line between Indiana and Illinois wants to offer a stadium just over the line. That'd be a terrible idea. It's horrible in New York when the both the New York jets and the New York Giants play in New Jersey. It's just, it's no good. I would love to see the Bears. You know, Arlington Heights is where the Bulls play. A lot of sports are done in Arlington Heights. It's not the city of Chicago. I believe it's still a county. Cook county in Illinois. Illinois. I'd love to see the Bears move to Arlington Heights, Illinois. I'm sure they're going to cut a deal. I think the Bears will stay in the state of Illinois. I certainly hope so. And thank you for the call and thank you for the Bears. Thank you for Mad Dog and the team in the booth. Merry Christmas to everyone. Merry Christmas to you. We'll see you back here tomorrow day after Christmas. Have a great night. Bannon's war room. Up next.

This Christmas edition of “Bolling!” delivers enthusiastically partisan coverage of the holiday season at the White House, the legacy of the Biden and Obama years, and the spirit of Trump’s presidency in the post-2024 context. The show features interviews with RAV correspondent Brian Glenn, focusing on White House Christmas traditions and political contrasts, and with rock icon Ted Nugent, who combines holiday cheer with unfiltered commentary on American freedoms. The episode also includes a recurring segment that highlights and lampoons Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, crowned the "most embarrassing member of Congress" for 2025. Listener messages round out the broadcast.

American Values and Amendments Under Threat

Guests and host alike use colorful metaphors and blunt language to energize their audience, frequently invoking patriotic themes and personal anecdotes.

The episode is loaded with in-group references and mockery of political opponents, offering a blend of news, opinion, interviews, and listener engagement, all wrapped in festive, combative style.
