Episode Overview

This episode digs deep into the current state of US foreign policy, Middle East dynamics, governmental oversight failures at home, and the cultural moment in America headed into a critical election year. Host Eric Bolling is joined by high-profile guests including President Donald Trump, geopolitical strategist Dr. Waleed Ferris, commentator Rena Shaw, and health expert John Jubilee. The tone is unapologetically conservative and combative, focusing on threats abroad, perceived weak leadership among Democrats, and the necessity of strong, America First principles.

1. Middle East Policy, Israel, and Iran

(Starts at 03:03)

Strong Leadership Preserves Israel

• Trump asserts that Israel’s survival is due to strong leadership:

  "If they don't have a strong prime minister, Pete, you might not have Israel today. ... If you had a different kind of personality, a weak person or a stupid person ... you might not have Israel." (Donald Trump, 03:03)

• Trump credits himself for being “a big help” in keeping Israel secure and achieving Middle Eastern peace.

Gaza and Potential Migration

• Referencing a recent poll, Trump claims over half of Gazans would relocate if given the chance, citing poor conditions and lack of opportunity.

  "I've always said it. If they were given the opportunity to live in a better climate, they would move." (Donald Trump, 03:54)

• He hints at ongoing US assistance to Gaza but steers clear of advocating forced resettlement.

Syria Relations

• Trump talks up US-Syrian relations under a “strong” new Syrian president. Netanyahu joins, emphasizing Israel's interest in a peaceful, terrorist-free border and protecting minorities, especially Christians.
• Trump unexpectedly heaps praise on Turkish President Erdogan for action against “a very bad ruler” in Syria, giving him “a lot of credit.”

  "President Erdogan did it. And we give him a lot of credit." (Donald Trump, 07:53)

Lebanon and Hezbollah

• Asked about Hezbollah, Trump stresses the Lebanese government’s weakness and Hezbollah’s misbehavior but provides no clear US policy path.

Iran’s Nuclear Threats

• Trump warns of repercussions if Iran pursues nuclear weapons, referencing past threats and his record of “giving them the option” for peace:

  "Now they believe me. ... Consequences will be very powerful." (Donald Trump, 09:27)

• He claims Iran's nuclear capabilities have been destroyed but worries about renewed efforts.

Peace Process & Abraham Accords

• Trump and Netanyahu underline the conditional re-admission of the Palestinian Authority in Gaza (extensive reforms, ending glorification of violence required).
• Trump touts the Abraham Accords as a “great achievement,” foreseeing further expansion (likely referencing Saudi Arabia joining soon).

  "Countries are already talking about expanding it and they'll be expanded fairly quickly." (Donald Trump, 15:34)

2. China, Taiwan, & Global Alliances

(Starts at 11:01)

• Trump downplays Chinese naval exercises encircling Taiwan, citing his relationship with Xi Jinping and suggesting drills are not new:

  “They've been doing that for 20, 25 years.” (Donald Trump, 11:29)

3. Domestic Economic Policy and the Federal Reserve

(Starts at 16:25)

On Jerome Powell & the Fed

• Trump excoriates Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, blaming him for runaway costs, incompetence, and construction overages:

  “We’re thinking about bringing a suit against Powell for incompetence ... just a very incompetent man.” (Donald Trump, 19:40)

4. Major US Fraud Scandal: Minnesota Case

(Starts at 21:33)

Feeding Our Future Program

• Eric and Rena Shaw dissect shocking levels of fraud in Minnesota’s aid programs, focusing on Somali-American communities and systemic failures.
  • Industrial-scale fraud impacting child nutrition, Medicaid, housing, and autism programs.
• Rena emphasizes bipartisan need for oversight and accountability:

  “Evidence of it like this, potentially billions stolen … is a really big reminder … of why we need really strong oversight and accountability in government spending.” (Rena Shaw, 22:15)

• Eric credits Trump’s tougher approach for FBI action but warns against scapegoating immigrants.
• Mad Dog advocates for prosecution of negligent officials and even removal of illegal actors, asserting loss of public trust.

5. Ozempic, Weight Loss, & Wellness Culture

(Starts at 34:17)

Critique of Weight-Loss Drugs

• John Jubilee (Energize Health) warns against long-term Ozempic/GLP-1 use:

  “You gain the fat back, but your muscle is gone forever, right? ... This guy got his life back, got his health back and got his muscle back.” (John Jubilee, 34:42)

• He pushes “intracellular hydration” as the true healthy path, urging listeners to focus on metabolic health, not just weight loss.

6. Cultural and Political Commentary

(Starts at 37:59)

Jimmy Kimmel & Free Speech

• Eric blasts TV host Jimmy Kimmel's UK Christmas message about “American tyranny,” arguing Kimmel ignores real free speech threats and is out-of-touch:

  “You want us to be more like Europe? You’re out of your freaking mind, Kimmel.” (Mad Dog, 39:17)

Rep. Jasmine Crockett and Eric Swalwell

• Eric and Mad Dog lampoon Crockett's Senate ambitions, calling her a “race-baiter” and warning Texas voters.
• They criticize Democratic plans to use “lawfare” after 2026 if they retake the House, pushing for stronger Republican accountability.

7. Iran, Terror Threats, and Domestic Fear

(Starts at 45:11)

Dr. Waleed Ferris on Iran

• Ferris explains the Iranian regime’s ongoing hyper-aggression and new posture of “total war”:

  “Total war means even in your own homeland. That’s what it means.” (Dr. Waleed Ferris, 51:19)

• Ferris warns of embedded jihadi networks in the US and Europe, a rational fear of terrorism, and domestic unrest triggered by Iranian commands.

Domestic Fear as Political Tactic

• Discussion centers on how the threat or fear of terrorism shapes American (and Western) behavior, even if attacks do not materialize.
