D (4:38)

And Brian, thank you for the kind words too.

B (4:40)

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. So tell us about, you know, tell us about the vacated congressional seat that you're Looking at and tell us where you stand.

D (4:46)

Look, these are big shoes to fill. This is CD5. This seat has been held by Andy Biggs, who has been a phenomenal congressman, part of the Freedom Caucus. He's just done a great job. He is now running for governor in the state of Arizona. We need him as the next governor of the state of Arizona, but that leaves that seat open. And so I'm. I want to be that unapologetic defender of God, family, freedom and the Constitution. I think the American people want authentic Americans to serve them, and I think I'm the right candidate for that. We did really well in the Senate race. Even though I didn't win, we did really well in that district. A third of it is where I was the sheriff. So we're jumping in this race and I hope to. We have President Trump's endorsement, so I hope to be able to get into the foxhole with him out in D.C. and we can.

B (5:31)

Forgive me, I don't know who's a Democrat, likely Democrat to be your opponent.

D (5:35)

Now, there are five people I've never heard of. They're going to duke it out on their side, but this is a plus. R20 district. So one of the anchor districts, not just for Arizona, but for America. We want to get that anchored down so we can make sure that we win a couple other districts in Arizona.

B (5:48)

Are there other Republicans running, conservatives running? And by the way, Trump's endorsement, we got massive weight behind you, so go ahead.

D (5:56)

But we got President Trump's endorsement, the House Freedom Fund. We've got Speaker Johnson, Speaker Scalise. We're doing great. Say just now.

B (6:05)

Did you get that? Let me.

D (6:07)

Turning Point action today. Thank you, guys. By the way, they did phenomenal work. Part of the reason why President Trump did so well in Arizona was he's, you know, the best candidate for the job. But also. But because TP Action, tpusa, was doing such great work on the ground, and they really pulled a lot of candidates over. And I'm glad to have them in my corner, because going into this election, you want a group like that, people that are just passionate about this country. They want good candidates in there, and they're willing to fight for it. So I'm honored to have Turning Point Action as well. Have their endorsements.

B (6:37)

Huge, huge couple of endorsements right there.

D (6:39)

It's huge.

B (6:40)

And we get, if I'm not mistaken, I believe before he was assassinated, Charlie Kirk endorsed Andy Biggs for governor.

D (6:48)

I believe he did as well. And Charlie Kirk and myself and Tyler Boyer we talk, you know, Tyler Boyer especially. I talked to him a few times along the way. Charlie Kirk, he says, look, Sheriff Lamb needs to be part of this plan in Arizona. And it was very sad. This hurt our family. You know, he's a friend of mine. He's a big role, played a huge role in Arizona and in America, frankly. My son worked and filmed right next to Charlie Kirk for a long time. So it's a, it's a huge loss. And I, I just think we need now more than ever patriots like Charlie who are going to stand up and be unapologetic. That's what Charlie was. He was unapologetic about the things that he believed in. And, and I think that we need people like that.

B (7:25)

And so we're sitting in again, Arizona. I, my early years into politics, 20 years ago, always red, always going to be a red state. And it's kind of evolved into almost like a Colorado. Like you don't know if it's going to go red or blizzard purple. Is it purple or where are the roots and where are we headed? And I can see Andy as governor and you representing Pinal County. Wow, that, that really turns things back red, doesn't it?

D (7:50)

Absolutely. We just need some strong leadership in Arizona. Andy, I think, is going to bring that to the table. It's a red state. We just have happened to lose some very crucial races. We lost the governor's race. And a lot of that was national politics played a huge role in that. I think the national politics are trending in the right direction. Contrary. I think affordability is going to come down. I think the economy is going to get better. The border is obviously better. So we've got that, that President Trump is doing. I think we're going in the right direction. And by next election, the people of Arizona, which there are more than 300,000 more Republicans in Arizona, we've just got to do politics by addition out there and make sure that we capture every vote.

B (8:27)

Yeah, Fascinating. Tell us the issues. Now you talk about the border, and that was a huge issue in 2020. 2020 2024. Less so of an issue because Trump is locking it down.

D (8:37)

I think it's still a major issue. Trump is locking it down, but these are executive orders holding it together. What we need is for Congress and Senate now to solidify these with good policies, lock them into place. President Trump has got the ball in the right place. Now. We need the. We need Congress to lock it in. And I hope to bring some help in D.C. with that. I think my knowledge of what the border brings and how, what the immigration is and the, the law enforcement piece of it. I think that it's needed in Washington, D.C. but President Trump has done the right things. He's done everything right, got the border secured. Now we've got to solidify that with, with law.

B (9:13)

What else? What are the other major issues Arizona faces?

D (9:16)

Look, the economy. I'm going to go back to it. Affordability is killing American families. I think that when you talk about border crime, crime is one of them. But affordability is going to be the biggest issue. People want to know that they can pay their rent, they can put food on their, that things are not going to skyrocket out of control. And I think that we've had to fix a lot of things that Joe Biden's administration really did. And it doesn't happen overnight. These things take time. And I think that President Trump has done some great things, this administration has done some great things, and oftentimes things get a little bit more prickly before they get better. And I think that we're going to be hitting our stride next year, and I think we'll see a good, we'll see a good midterm election.

B (9:56)

What are your thoughts on. I agree with you. We talk about this all the time. That price, the wholesale level of prices have come down under Trump. He's got things cheaper. He's got oil coming down. Not as much as we want, more. It feels like the retail people have just continued to gouge the American people. So as their costs come down, they continue to charge the retail customers, the mom and pops, everyone on the street, food, gasoline, rent, clothing, everything. Those prices aren't coming down fast enough. I think we just need this whole affordability could be a lot better. Trump's getting it done on the wholesale level. You got to bring it down. But these are national things. Any of the other issues, one of them for you especially is world near and dear to my heart, energy. And you guys, Arizona is a major consumer of energy. It's hot. It's hot all the time. How. Where are you? Where are you on the nuclear alternative to energy?

D (10:47)

Well, Arizona, we have very reliable energy because we have the Palo Verde nuclear plant. It is one of the best nuclear plants in the country. I'm a huge believer in nuclear. I think we should have never gotten away from it. We've got these micro modular, those modular nuclear reactors. We need to start getting those in place immediately. When I talk about energy, it takes energy to make a product, to ship a product, to sell A product. And when you have increased costs and energy like you were talking about, about the oil price, all that's going to do is eventually affect the price of the goods we're consuming. These big companies, BlackRock, Vanguard, all these other huge companies, they're not looking to reduce the cost for you. So we've got to find ways with energy to get.

B (11:26)

I'm so happy to hear you embrace nuclear, and I think Trump is starting to play around that area. But there's, there's so many issues. Not my backyard issues. I'll tell you what. Not in my backyard, nuclear power plant. Okay, fine. Have you seen these, these solar farms?

D (11:42)

My county is full of them. What happened is they cut our water off. And so all these farmers, look, they still have to turn a profit as well. So these, they're now leasing their ground to these solar farms. Huge solar farms all over the place. We know, look, solar is a source of energy, but it's not the best source of energy. Wind is certainly not. They put these huge windmills up. They look terrible. They produce nothing. They use more energy and oil and, and probably more destructive to the environment than anything else, which is the irony of it all. But then you get to solar. Solar's good. But how many solar panels do you need to run a place?

B (12:17)

They're hideously ugly. And you want to talk about environmental impact, which is allegedly. That's what you're putting them up for. These, when they're discarded, they're, they're a mess. These, these panels, they're massive. They're huge. They're metal. They're rusting. And they're not going to be good for any environmental impact strategy or studies.

D (12:33)

As this country grows, we need to make sure that we have reliable energy. That's nuclear. Coal has been great. They've reduced that. You know, Arizona, they've shut some coal plants down in the northern part of Arizona. It's impacted our reservations and a lot of families that live in northern Arizona. We've got, we've got the, the oil industry that they've tried to choke the life out of, which now is starting to come back. We've just got to really put some focus on it because I think that does affect affordability.

B (12:59)

Sheriff, energy is your answer to affordability. Just keep pounding the table. Trump 1.0 did that. First thing he did, he came into office, he said, all of the above. Remember? All. All of the above energy drill here. Drill, baby, drill. Trump got oil prices. Barrel of oil. You know what the low price was for that negative it went from 100 to 50 to 20 to 0 and then went negative because there was so much oil, people didn't know what to do with it. So we're paying you to hold their oil. And it's never happened in the history of this country.

D (13:28)

And then the last guys come in and they just start giving it away, selling it off, getting rid of our reserves.

B (13:34)

Clamp down. You can't drill here. You can't drill there also. Okay, supply is going down, prices going up. Stay on that energy.

D (13:40)

This is the danger of having people that really don't know. You know, Biden, he's been a government guy his whole entire life. He's never really ran a business. This is the benefit of having a president who understands what running a business is like. I ran a large agency with a large budget. I've been a businessman for a long time. We need people that actually understand how the things work. Who's put a name on their checks before on somebody else's check. And I think we need people that understand law enforcement. Crime is a problem, border's a problem.

B (14:06)

We.

D (14:06)

We need people that have actually been there. In this case, the reason why I think I make a great candidate is because I can hit the ground running. I've proven myself in the field, and we need to be able to hit the ground running because we're going to have two years with President Trump that we really need to get some things concreted in and make this country better for the trajectory.

B (14:23)

Before we go, you were. Where was this? You're driving through Florida.

D (14:26)

Naples.

B (14:27)

Let's take a look at this sign. Do we have a picture of that? Do we have that Memorial, right? Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway. Tell us.

D (14:33)

Yeah, one of the highways in Naples, right there. I said, hey, pull this car over. Let's take a picture of this. Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway. This should be in Arizona. Arizona, if you're listening, we need a highway somewhere. But look, I just. I loved seeing that they took the time to honor Charlie Kirk and they named this highway after him. What a. What a. What a beautiful gesture to him and his family and to the work that he did, the patriot that he was. And this had tremendous, tremendous interaction on social media as well. So, Arizona, if you're listening, I know Andy Biggs. When we get him in there as governor, we can work on this.

B (15:06)

You give our best to Andy Biggs as well. Thank you. He's. He's a good friend of ours for a long time. Been working with him a long time. Sure. Mark Lamb. Congratulations. Good luck. And we'll. We'll be following you. And.

B (17:53)

Deserves so much PTO and an easy.

F (17:55)

Way to track it.

B (17:56)

And Gloria, who's been with you since.

F (17:58)

Your conference room was a living room and has a knack for landing herself.

B (18:00)

In the emergency room.

F (18:01)

But, hey, at least you got your team that good. Medical.

D (18:05)

I'm okay.

B (18:06)

She's okay.

F (18:07)

Folks, we do your human resources right.

B (18:09)

So you can do right by your people. Just works for your people.

B (18:15)

All right, let's bring in our next guest, the executive producer of the Charlie Kirk Show. Happy to have back Andrew Cole with us. Andrew, you know, tell the audience all the time, we need more Charlie Kirk content. We need more TP USA content because we cannot allow them to do what they did in vain. Can't forget them. Can't forget the legacy that he is leaving. So let's just do this right now, very quickly. Thank you for doing.

F (18:37)

Yeah.

B (18:38)

You were on town and just wanted to make sure you came on the show to. 4 o'. Clock. Loves you guys, too. So you're doing great stuff.

F (18:44)

We're honored to be here. You were always such a great friend to Charlie. He loved you, would go out of his way when you wanted him on his show, and we would make crazy things work. You would make crazy things work to get on our show, too. I remember that specifically one instance where you were at a restaurant, but you went outside.

B (19:03)

That's right.

F (19:03)

Yeah. It was great.

B (19:05)

You're like, fix that shot. I'm like, I really can't instead have a sushi restaurant?

F (19:09)

No. But you always have been such a great friend, and that means a lot, especially after we lost Charlie. You know, you keep your friends really close.

B (19:17)

Yeah. You guys are amazing. And. And let's just talk a little about this Amfest 2025. Huge, huge event.

F (19:24)

Yeah.

B (19:25)

Am I. Am I right that I hear you're sold out already?

F (19:28)

We've been sold out for weeks. I mean, as soon as Charlie was murdered, you know, we kind of went into, obviously, shell shock trauma mode. What. What's up? What's down? What comes next? So you just. You're getting through each day, and, you know, then we had the memorial, and then at some point, I forget when in the midst of that, we looked at somebody had the presence of mind to look at ticket sales at Amfest. And like everybody's jaw dropped. It was such an outpouring of love and support for Charlie and for the organization and for Erica that, you know, we realized, hey, we have a capacity issue. So we had to work with the venue instantly. We kind of realized, hey, we gotta turn the ticketing off, which we've never had to do before. We had 21,000 last year on the final day for Trump after the big election win. And I told, I remember looking around the team saying, we'll never be able to beat this or maybe we will. And maybe I'm being, you know, I'm just doubting Thomas over here and, you know, leave it to Charlie Kirk to find a way to.

B (20:29)

What kind of numbers you think?

F (20:31)

Big? Bigger than that.

B (20:32)

Bigger than that.

F (20:33)

Wow.

B (20:33)

Yeah. Fantastic. Fantastic. You know, you guys did a great job in Phoenix for the, for the memorial. I was there. You handled a massive crowd wonderfully. The question is, are you. What do you do? What Security concerned about security for. For December. For December 18th to the 22nd, by the way.

F (20:50)

Yeah, 18 through the 21st. Yeah. So no, it's four day conference. We start on the Thursday night and then all day Friday, all day Saturday, and then Sunday morning. So, yeah. What are we doing for security? We're, we have, I mean, suffice to say, we've augmented security and we've, I mean, we had, I believe, a great security team in place, but we've had to augment it. I mean, that's just the reality of the world that we live in. And I will assure you this, there will be, you will see the security presence getting in that venue. No bags, no. You know, it's going to be tight, so. But the goal is, Eric, we want people when they're inside to feel safe and feel like they're in a place where they can roam about freely without having any doubts or any of those thoughts. And certainly we feel the same. So, yeah, we want it to be a safe environment. We want everybody to rest assured that every precaution is being taken.

B (21:40)

Tell us some of the names that are going to be there. Star studded event.

F (21:43)

Yeah. Well, we just announced J.D. vance, Vice President, J.D. vance, this last week. He's going to be a featured speaker, obviously.

B (21:50)

Yep.

F (21:50)

There's. There's the graphic. He been just such an incredible friend. He and Ushev have just been tremendous, obviously, with, you know, when they flew to Provo to pick up the, the casket with Charlie, the dignified transfer back to Phoenix but even just in the little things, you know, being there, calling Erica Usha, giving her words of advice, how to get through the moments. 15 sec. 15 minutes at a time. 15 minutes at a time. So they've just been tremendous. So we're honored to have JD and obviously the Ole Miss event with Erica and JD which was, by the way, we had half the student body in Oxford register for that event. Half the student body. So this is the incredible amount of outpouring and energy and enthusiasm that we've seen. You know, Charlie would be ecstatic. And it's, you know, it's like, I think about it, you know, we want to have our chance to grieve this, but we also know that we have this sacred duty to Charlie and to his legacy to push forward. And that's why you asked who the speakers were. It's not just J.D. it's not just, you know, Tucker Carlson. It's not just. I mean, we have just up and down the lineup is just absolutely incredible. And every media outlet on the planet is going to be there broadcasting, so.

B (23:07)

So Meteor Row is going to be a zoo.

F (23:08)

It's going to be an absolute zoo.

B (23:11)

I think RAV is going to have a Parker. Rav's gonna have a nice presence in Meteoro, right?

F (23:15)

It's gonna. Yeah, we. We're. Yeah, we're gonna have the. The War Room blasting and the Charlie Kirk show blasting and.

B (23:21)

And this show, too.

F (23:22)

This show too. And we're gonna.

B (23:24)

We're gonna.

F (23:24)

So it's gonna be truly, truly incredible. Obviously, Erica Kirk's gonna be giving. Giving us a speech as well, so. And we're gonna have debates.

B (23:32)

Ted Cruz gonna be there. And the reason why I'm asking is Ted Cruz. There's a little sniping between JD and Ted lately. Have you noticed what's going on?

F (23:39)

Yeah, I try. And listen, we are coalition builders here.

F (23:46)

We only shoot inside the tent when it gets to a certain level. You would have heard Charlie talking about Mitch McConnell because he crossed more than a few lines. Right? But listen, we're trying to build coalitions, but what we are going to do is we're going to have debates. So we're gonna have debates about religion, we're gonna have debates about weed, we're gonna have debates about foreign policy. So we want to keep that dialogue and debate alive. And we're also gonna have a number of the speakers. I think Megyn Kelly's doing it, Ben Shapiro. They're gonna be going out and doing a Prove Me Wrong in honor of Charlie. So We've got this big truck that's gonna be in the exhibitor hall and we're gonna invite all the students to come up and ask questions right inside the convention center.

B (24:28)

So, so, so speaking of that, where Charlie was assassinated in one of the. Under one of those tents, tell us about the future of going to college campus. Are you guys still doing it? Is it continuing to the same degree? Less. And who's doing them?

F (24:42)

Yeah, so we're still doing it. I think some of the vision is, is still sort of getting formally formulated, like, far out. Like, you know, what do we do two years from now, that kind of thing. And we're already batting around ideas, having discussions about how to make that special, make that really great. You know, I think there's not really an appetite in the immediate future for doing those outdoo events. Right. There's. It's just from a security standpoint, it's just, it's just more of a challenge. It just really is. So. But there are a bunch of good venues inside right on campus, so we can. And those you can secure, you can, you can scan everybody before they go in. More of a police presence. It's. It's great. That's the way to do it, especially in the, in the immediate future. And we are going to, we're going to be having our spring tour. We're going to be launching that and making announcements after Christmas about what that's going to look like. And we're going to have the, you know, Charlie, what he did is patented debate style. If you disagree, come to the front of the line. We want to invite those debates. We want to have those conversations. And so many of our friends have volunteered to be those people. I mean, it's similar to what you saw in the fall tour, right? This is the turning point, is what we called it, the fall tour. But we're also going to have a lot more voices. This is something that people don't really understand is that we do have these spring tours and the fall tours, and Charlie would be the headliner for those, a lot of those, and we'd have him with somebody else. But that's only a small fraction of what we do. We are all the time. We just had, we just had. Was it Holman at El Paso? Tom Holman was at El Paso yesterday. And so that's, you know, that's not part of any tour. It just happens. Right. And so we have events going on all across the country every day, small, large, medium sized events, and we have high school events going on all the time. So this stuff is happening all the time. But one of the things we are excited about doing as well, a new little wrinkle that we're announcing in the spring, announcing who's going to be doing it, is we're going to be doing debates. So instead of just a speaker and then taking questions, which will be part of the programming, we're going to have debates actually in front of the students on campus.

B (26:42)

Great. Wonderful. We're going to see more of the legacy, it spreads. I don't know this. Are you still doing the All American halftime show, the Super Bowl?

F (26:49)

Yes, we are.

B (26:50)

Yeah. Because I heard. Yeah. Lee Greenwood, Kid Rock.

F (26:55)

Sure. There's been a lot of lists that have gone around and zero of them have been authentic. It's just. It's just. It's just.

B (27:02)

So you haven't announced the official.

F (27:03)

No, we haven't announced the official list. We've. We. I can say that we have booked talent now, but we're kind of waiting for. To make the announcement on who.

B (27:11)

Do you have the venue set up yet?

F (27:12)

Yeah, we got the venue. Yeah.

B (27:13)

Is this public or is not public? Secret. Yeah, it's a secret probation.

F (27:17)

Double secret. Yeah. Like, I would tell you off the record, but I, you know, this would be a bad time to do it.

B (27:22)

Yeah. Now we will be interviewing a guest once and he's like, eric, here's a phrase like, eric, Eric, between us. I go, you're on tv between us.

F (27:30)

Yeah. This is between us. Yeah. There's no way to keep that just between us. But there has been developments there. It's going to be exciting. We're really looking forward to it. And it really, you know, we want it to be a unifying moment for.

B (27:41)

Oh, it will.

F (27:41)

For America. Right. Because.

B (27:44)

And so contact you, like, what are you doing here?

F (27:47)

There's not us directly, but there's been sort of intermediaries that I know, I've had conversations with, with all parties involved. But listen, we want it. We don't want this to be negative or anti anybody. We want it to be a positive, uplifting moment. And I mean, listen, we're going to have some faith. We're going to have some different genres. And you look at what happened with the memorial. There is a different way to bring people together. And I think be positive, be patriotic, but also have a great time.

B (28:13)

I know you got to go. You have plenty to catch. Andrew, I've known you eight, ten years.

D (28:17)

Yeah.

B (28:18)

How are you?

F (28:19)

Oh, that's a. That's uploaded. How much time do we have, yeah.

B (28:23)

As much as you. Yeah, I know you have a plane.

F (28:25)

But, you know, I am. Well, I'm like, remarkably well. I've told people that I feel sustained by the prayers of strangers. I can't tell you how many times people send me messages, like, unsolicited, and they're just like, I just want you to know I'm praying for you today. I'm praying for you today. I'm praying for you. I get dozens of these every day from people I haven't heard from for a long time. So I would say remarkably well given the circumstances. But I think I tweeted this once and it's still true that.

F (28:57)

Charlie. I worked every day for eight years with Charlie, sending dozens and dozens of messages, Dozens and dozens of phone calls, traveling together, extended periods on the road together, and lunches, dinners, the quiet times, joking. He's still the last thing I think about before I go to bed. He's still the first thing I instantly think about when I wake up. And yeah, I mean, I miss him. So you're not gonna get me emotional. I'm not gonna do it. But yeah, it's hard. But we do it for Charlie because, you know, I've said it before, we have a sacred duty to push forward and to continue his legacy. And candidly, knowing Charlie the way I know Charlie, he would have been upset if we, we didn't. He. He would demand that we get every last drop and an ounce of energy out of what he sacrificed for.

B (29:52)

Well, Andrew, you're doing a wonderful job with TP USA in the wake of Charlie's assassination. Just take care of yourself too.

F (29:58)

Try my best. Thanks, Eric. Appreciate you.

B (30:00)

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

B (30:11)

Ben. Am I sitting up straight enough now, Ben?

D (30:13)

Yes.

B (30:14)

For those folks don't that may not know, Ben just told me, sit up straight. I said, what are you, my mom or my first grade teacher? I gotta sit up straight. Everyday Americans are being suffocated by massive credit card interest rates. But you don't have to keep living like that. Iconic debt relief helps people reduce their monthly payments and get out from under high interest debt. It's awful. They charge you more when you have credit card debt than they do anywhere else. And they're allowed to. They walk you through your options, help you understand the process and support you every step of the way. If you're carrying over $10,000 in credit card debt, a lot of people are. There's over a trillion dollars in credit card debt across the country. Just make pick up the phone and call Iconic Debt Relief today. Just give him a call. There's a number right there on your screen. Relief is possible. Alrighty folks, he is done it again. He's done it again. Jake Tapper has produced a new what you see is not what you see, folks moment for cnn. But this goes well beyond mostly peaceful. Like they used to say in 20 of 20, you really can't make this stuff up. Watch this. A suspect was arrested for the planting of the pipe bomb on the eve of January 6th. Remember that? Well, here's how Tapper reported it. Listen carefully. Iron Cole Jr. A 30 year old white man from the D.C. suburbs is charged with transporting an explosive device in interstate commerce and with malicious destruction. Did you catch that? Did you catch that? I'm sorry. Let's see it again. Ian Cole Jr. A 30 year old white man from the D.C. suburbs is charged with transporting an explosive device in interstate commerce and with malicious destruction. A 30 year old white man. While the picture shows something, something that doesn't look like a white man unless he's identifying as white. This flashback is going to blow your mind folks, particularly now that we have a pipe bomb suspect and he happens not to be white. Here's Media son stepping in it once again back in 2022.

F (32:08)

Jelani, you're a black man.

B (32:10)

I'm a Muslim. When you consider how black criminals and Muslim terrorists are treated both by the legal system and by the media. And yet the January 6th pipe bomber who laid explosives in front of the.

D (32:21)

RNC and DNC headquarters still walks free.

B (32:25)

We just learned today that then Vice.

D (32:26)

President Elect Harris was inside the DNC.

B (32:29)

When the bomb was found there. We still don't take domestic terrorism of.

F (32:33)

The far right white variety seriously in.

B (32:35)

This country, do we? No, we don't. We've seen this since the Obama administration where they pointed out that there was this rise of white nationalist terror and that was promptly squashed. So way back then they called it a white nationalist terrorist. Now Jake calls the person of interest who has been arrested a white male. And he's clearly not. Let's see how they fix that one on cnn. Prince Harry took some time out of his busy schedule of being shunned by his family for writing books and doing interviews to slander them all while being married to one of the most annoying narcissists of all time while he did this. Well, took time out to go visit Colbert and slam the president of the only country that would actually have that sob. I wouldn't say we're Obsessed with royalty.

G (33:26)

Really?

B (33:29)

I heard you. I heard you elected a king.

B (33:35)

That's a fair point. No, he's. He's got a point. Can you go back, please? You and Megan, please, just go back. We don't. You don't like here. Just please go back to your. Your stupid parliament patriarchy, whatever the hell they call that. Squad member Prima Jayapal is clearly on a mission to rewrite history in an effort to protect and defend Somali criminals.

C (33:59)

The majority of Americans across the country, regardless of political party, know that immigrants from all over the world, Somalia, India, wherever they're from, Latin America, Africa, that immigrants have built this country and make this country what it is today.

B (34:16)

We want immigrants. We want legal immigrants. Go through the vetting system. You got a problem, you want to. You're being, I don't know, threatened in your country. Great. Get here. You'll get here in a year and a half. We got to vet you first. It's all BS of like bringing in everyone in. You bring Somalis in here. They. They think it's Somalia where there's no government. Literally. Law and order is not existent in Somalia. Not even government. There's not a recognized government in that country. Again, I've said this over and over. If you're ever in a boat and they said they're going to go past the Somali coast, say, no, thank you. You're likely going to get pirated because they do things differently in Somalia. But when you bring them over here and you don't vet them first, what the hell do you think is going to happen? They're going to act just the way they do at home. They stole a billion dollars from taxpayers. A billion. Tells you everything you need to know right here about MSNBC at the time. Now, msnow that they kept Joyless Joy Reid on the air for. So never has there been a more race baiting presence on the airwaves. Any of them. But somehow joyless Joy Reid managed to get her racism out there for the whole world to see, even now.

C (35:19)

And, you know, having been inside of a Republican National Convention and had that vibe from a senior citizen, someone's grandma, but whose glee was directed towards some of the most heinous ideas you could imagine. Right. You know, sort of gleeful towards sort of returning to 1930s Germany, not even the United States. Like, I know that it's real.

B (35:40)

Real.

C (35:41)

I actually think that what those people wanted and what Donald Trump is delivering is ethnic cleansing.

B (35:48)

Right.

C (35:48)

Well, I think, you know, I think it. And I. And I don't. And I Don't think that they see it as ethnic cleansing. I don't think they see it as something bad.

B (35:55)

No, no, no, not ethnic cleansing. Illegal cleansing. Cleanse the illegals from this country, and we're good. We're fine with different nationalities, different religions. America's a melting pot. We get it. But you got to get here legally. Joy lists. Joy Reid, CNN's Abby Phillip really, really so delusional. Just like the most of the people that work at that network. To be so steeped in believing that telling lies, the American people, and distorting the facts is actually a good thing, is a quite difficult thing to hear, actually, to pull off. But you have to see it to believe the level, the level of ridiculousness this woman brings.

C (36:34)

Conservatives are living in a completely different information world than liberals, and breaking that down needs to be done, because when you don't ever even hear the facts, it's hard to even know that you're wrong. And that happens a lot. I mean.

C (36:54)

Half my job sometimes is knowing what the latest conspiracy is so that if it comes up, I'm ready to address it. Because it happens a lot where people don't even know that what they're saying or what they've seen and believe is not true. And so that happens a lot. And I don't come away from that saying, what's the point of this? People are just saying false things. I think that one time that that person brings up something that is debunked and false, and I debunk it at the table. Might be the very first time that someone out there has heard an alternative point of view.

B (37:31)

Hey, Control. What's the name of the guy is on CNN on that Abby Phillips show all the time? Saad Jennings. Scott Jennings teaches her a lesson almost every single night that he's on that show. I don't know why these cnn. You watch CNN now and MSNBC now.

C (37:44)

It's.

B (37:45)

It's unrecognizable. Well, it's becoming a trend that the ladies of the View that, well, they cut the break when every time someone says something they can't handle, they don't like, they try to bait their guest, Stephen A. Smith, who happens to be kind of a conservative lately, into pandering their ridiculous notions in politics. Whoopi Goldberg tried to do just that about the Democrat Party's failures, and Stephen wasn't having it.

C (38:07)

I'm gonna say one more thing because, you know, I know that you have very strong feelings about Democrats, but I do have this to say to you. It was Important, I think, for Democrats to show that they stood with the LGBT community, that they stood with black women and women in general.

D (38:25)

Because.

C (38:25)

Because once you let us go, once you let women and poor people go. Okay, what do you have? And so I've listened to lots of people say, you know, that you didn't follow what was necessary. They did it the way they thought they could. It didn't work for them. They got it.

B (38:42)

See, respectfully, I don't like that. Let me explain.

C (38:45)

That's okay.

B (38:46)

Let me explain.

C (38:46)

Just like you said to Sunday.

B (38:48)

Let me explain.

C (38:48)

He sure did say that to me.

B (38:49)

We're going to come back. We have to take a break.

C (38:52)

We have to take a break.

F (38:53)

Yeah, you can explain.

B (38:54)

Okay.

C (38:55)

More with Stephen A. Smith.

B (38:57)

So Whoopi goes on a rant, throws it at Stephen A. Smith, like, throws it down with him. Steven's like, respectfully, I don't. I have a problem with that. And then they cut to break before he can explain why. Wow. Another great moment of Stephen not having it on the View, this time with Sonny Hoston, when talking about Seditionist one of the Seditionist six, Mark Kelly.

C (39:18)

So you recently accused Senator Mark Kelly, a veteran, an astronaut, of crossing the line for participating in a video reminding troops that they can refuse to follow illegal orders. Okay, let's see some of what you said, my friend.

B (39:34)

Sure. You know better, Senator Kelly. You know better. How dare you do that? You could go to the house. You can put up drawer paperwork. You could try to start articles of impeachment if you think there's something illegal. I mean, damn, it ain't like y' all haven't done it before. You impeach the man twice, where'd that get you? Got his behind back in the White House. Had you left them alone in 20, since 2020, maybe he wouldn't be back. You don't tell military men and women to ignore an order from the commander in chief. You don't do that.

C (40:09)

Caffeine's a.

E (40:10)

You know.

C (40:11)

Now, let me just. Just remind you that Pete Hegseth said in 2016, I do think there have to be consequences for abject war crimes. If you're doing something that is just completely unlawful and ruthless, then there is a consequence for that. That's why the military said it won't follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief. Now, given the fact that the secretary himself said that, I'd love to give you the opportunity to perhaps change your position on what you said.

B (40:41)

I'm not changing the thing. I didn't Stutter.

C (40:43)

Once you're saying you want to say loud and wrong.

B (40:44)

Well, you could call it loud and wrong all you want to say. Or you're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine. We're going to leave it just at that because he shut her the hell up just perfectly. Two and a half minutes. We'll be right back.

B (41:05)

All right, folks, my next guest is our own RAV Washington D.C. correspondent who knows a thing or two about football. Happy to have Britt McHenry join us. And by the way, Brit, you are the fan favorite in the Rumble chat. At least some dudes are like, hey, give Brit my phone number. I'm like, guys, pay attention to the show. Pay. You want to win some money? Listen to Brit. Ohio State Buckeyes number one. At number two, Indiana. Wow, my head's going to explode. I'll let you go first.

A (41:33)

I'm going to say Indiana. See you out the door. They do have the number one overall offense. I know everyone, everyone wants to ride high on their upset Oregon earlier in the season, but you know what? That was earlier in the season. We have talked about Ohio State so many times on this show, Eric, I would love to hear what you think. I think this will be a high scoring game if you want to take points. But I'm going to just keep rolling on the Buckeye train because they handle their business against Michigan. This will be the first time they win a conference in five years. I think this is an overall complete team, especially with their line, but linebackers and the blitz combos they have. I'm going Ohio State.

B (42:09)

I. Oh, you tricked me. I thought you were saying Indiana.

B (42:15)

Quarterback from Fernando Mendoza. Mendoza will probably be of the first two or three picks in the draft. So I, I love Indiana on this. I know everyone, everyone loves Ohio State for whatever reason. I just, I. Probably because I bet Indiana to win the whole, the whole shebang about two months ago. But I just. Wow. If they pull it off this week, I think it's going to be an. It would be an amazing rematch in the final if it came down to that in the, in the playoff championship. But. All right, so I'll take Indiana. Yeah.

F (42:45)

Yeah.

A (42:45)

A lot of people are upset about the college football rankings, too. And I personally am upset that Miami is on the outside looking in when Notre Dame is in the top 12. But maybe that's a discussion for another day.

B (42:56)

Notre Dame's a really good team. All right, let's do a little I and L, folks. Chicago Bears. All of a sudden, the Chicago Bears are the number one seed in the playoff picture right now. The Bears who to thunk at Green Bay Packers 9 and 3. Your thoughts?

A (43:12)

I'm going to ruffle some feathers and I've said this online. I will say it on your show. I think the Chicago Bears are frauds and I think they are going to get exposed in the playoffs and you want to know why? I know that. I was at that Hail Mary game last year when they lost the Commanders. I was at the game this year in Washington where they barely squeaked because of a fumble late from Jaden Daniels. And we all know the Commanders have been injury ridden this year. So I've noticed them there. I love that they're playing for Ben Johnson. He's a little cringe for me taking his shirt off in the locker room. But you know what do you Chicago. But the reason I like this matchup is because I just think the packers have sorted out some defensive issues. Caleb Williams is really not great. In fact, he's the worst in the quarterbacks in the league on third down completions. I just think it's going to be a defensive juggernaut and I would love to see them get humbled. Maybe I'll be humbled if I'm wrong.

B (44:03)

From Chicago, my hometown, I'm, I'm not a huge Bear fan. But in Chicago, you know what we love? You know we love on our pizza in Chicago? Shredded cheese. So I'll take the Bears. I'll take the Bear.

A (44:13)

You like that deep dish? Yep.

B (44:16)

You know the cheese heads work with me here. The cheese head.

A (44:19)

Yeah, I got that. I got that. I got that. There you go.

B (44:22)

Pittsburgh Steelers 6 and 6 are are at Baltimore Ravens 6 and 6. You know this, this year no one's a favorite anymore. I can't figure anything out. So we'll let you do it. Pittsburgh Steelers at the Ravens.

A (44:35)

This is tough for me because I seriously think something is more wrong and injury prone for Lamar Jackson this season. He just is not what we've seen. He can't run, his completion's been off. Aaron Rodgers hasn't been great. He really can't throw more than 10 to 20 yards, which is atypical for him because we know in his prime he had a cannon of an arm like Dan Marino, but it's not his prime. I don't know. I want to say the Ravens are going to come back from that loss to the Bengals, but it just to your point, this is really hard for me to call. I'm going to go Ravens because it's Home. But you know what? I got five on it, Eric, because Jaden Daniels is back for the commanders.

B (45:13)

There you go. That'll be a huge, huge, huge help, Eric. Except you keep saying the commander. Who is this commander's team? Who are these commanders?

A (45:21)

You can say skin manders. Some people, some fans are saying that Skinny.

B (45:25)

I'll call them the Redskins. I don't care. I'll call them Skinny.

A (45:27)

Very quickly, Redskins here.

B (45:28)

Tell me, what was the other one? I wanted to just. Oh, the toilet bowl. The toilet bowl. Titans 111 at Cleveland 3 and 9. And not they would cares, but betting people may care. So your thoughts here. Nice sound effect.

A (45:44)

You know, I think if you're being smart, you take the Browns. Even though this is. This is a real toilet bowl. It's hard. I was going to say Titans, but that's only out of sympathy, Eric. It's just one win. I will say shitter. Sanders is struggling as. As much as a lot of fans wanted to see him have this comeback story because who knows which fans.

B (46:03)

Which fans. I think some do. I think the kid thinks. He thinks he's Deion Sanders 2.0. Yeah, not yet, brother.

A (46:11)

And he's been throwing interceptions. His pass completion is low. He's very much a rookie. So I don't. Which one are you taking in this? I want to give you guys good odds, but these are two terrible teams.

B (46:22)

How about 33 and a half, one of the lowest unders of the year. We'll still take the under. Think of that.

A (46:28)

Okay, let's. We'll go with the under. Yeah, we'll go with the under.

B (46:30)

Well, we'll deal with that one. Brett, really good to have you on again. Thank you. A little, little truncated, a little shorter this week, but we'll get you again. Very sincere next week, my friend. Have a great weekend.

A (46:39)

You too.

B (46:40)

All right, folks, let's talk about what's been lighting up the channel this week. And when I talk to the channel, I'm talking about the Edge channel. A brand new Tito Ortiz episode dropped yesterday. It's already making some absolute serious waves. Tito got real with us about his decades long feud with Dana White, who. Who runs the UFC of the Unbelievable. Dana White's a billionaire from ufc and they used to be buddies. Trust me, you've never heard him open like this before. If you haven't seen it yet, this week would be a great chance to catch one of the most candid interviews he's given. They've actually gotten a fight on a private plane once. Dana and Tito and you got to see what he says about Tito Ortiz. So go ahead and check out the YouTube channel right now. The Edge. It's at Eric Falling. The Edge. Edge on YouTube. YouTube.com EricBulling the Edge. I don't know. I think you're gonna love it. Also, if you just take your camera, aim it at that QR code, you will subscribe. Never going to ask you for a dime. Never going to give you stuff that you don't want. This is just the beginning. This is a major show, a platform that's growing because you. We thank you. I asked you for 7,000. We want to hit 7,000 by the end of the year. New Year's Eve. We just hit it today. Almost. Almost a month in advance. Three weeks. More than three weeks in advance. Thank you. I appreciate you. I appreciate that sub right there. We'll be two and a half minutes. We'll be right back.

B (48:08)

There you are. You know what's going on. There's. There's Ben, I think Mad Dog and Rashid. That's you, brother. I can. My little return's very small, I guess. Trish and Matt in the back. And the chat is lighting up. They love Brit. They all want to date Brit McHenry. And they're talking about the Bears. Like, who thought a guy from Chicago hates Green Bay? I don't hate Green Bay. I love Green Bay. I love football. It was just. I grew up in Chicago, and one of the biggest rivalries in football, Chicago versus Green Bay, Mike Ditko. Yeah, we're talking about Jim McMahon, William the Refrigerator Perry. Those are some fun times way back when. All right, Benny, what do we got? You got some voicemails for us?

D (48:45)

Yeah.

B (48:46)

We'll start with a bit of a longer one here.

C (48:48)

This viewer has comments about people sending.

D (48:50)

Money out of the country.

G (48:51)

Hey, greetings, Eric. This is Tony calling you from Cayucas, California. Hey, one of the things that's been really.

G (49:01)

Wondering for so long is anytime you go to the post office on Fridays or sometimes middle of the week, you see lines full of what appears to me is illegals or certainly high amount of Mexican immigrants in line with cash money, buying postal money orders and sending them off to Mexico. And I just wondered if we stopped that, if we stopped allowing them to get that cash money and send it out of our country. Because this, like me, 99% of them, when I stand there doing my mailing, they aren't speaking English. And I definitely have validated that they. Most of them are illegal. If we could stop them sending all that money and I've tracked it for about a good year now and it just seems like if we could, if we could stop that, if we could stop allowing these illegals to get their cash, go to the post office, buy money orders and send that money down to their country, that would sure stop a lot of this nonsense going on and a lot of the funding to the cartels and all the illegals.

B (50:23)

Let's come out. This is a really, really good point. Really good point. Did you know, listen, these Numbers, folks in 2023, I'm reading right there, $63 billion was sent just to Mexico alone from inside, from Mexican nationals sending money back. Mostly illegals. I'm not sure everyone's illegal, but mostly illegals. And what the reason why this is so bad is because the, the you. They come over illegally, they're not paying taxes, they're taking US dollars and then they're sending them out of the country to Mexico. It's a very, very dangerous practice. I don't care if you come over legally, you're going to pay your taxes on it and then you could go ahead and do it. But when you do this, you drain the value of the US Dollar. You do because not tax. It's just you're sending it out of the country. Country. So they're earning these dollars in America illegally and then sending them home. It's been. This is just Mexico. 63 billion in 2023. 2024 even higher. 60, 64. Almost $65 billion in 2025. One country. Think about that. How many hundreds of billions are. Are fleeing out of this country that should be staying with us, should be staying within our own economy, working its way through the economy. You stop it. You really, really strengthen your economy. Great, great, great idea. Great question, Great comment. Thank you for that voicemail. Ben, you got another one? Yes, sir.

D (51:34)

We have a question. Why has no one been charged after the Afghanistan pullout?

G (51:38)

Eric Bowen, this Charles from Georgia again, man. Hey, about the Afghan. The Afghan withdrawal, I hadn't seen nobody been held accountable for that. And all the Americans lost their lives. And we're the Afghanistan that came over here under Biden's watch. Ain't nobody said nothing about them. Thank you.

B (51:56)

You know, you're right. Mark Milley humiliation. Millie oversaw that. I don't know. This is our problem. You are so right. We talk about this every day. Where the hell are the perp walks? This is a great, great idea. Do you know our State Department had an idea that there was a suicide bomber 28 days before it happened before the Afghan pull out where 13 service members died. They were getting cables from overseas saying there's going to be a suicide bomber. There's going to be a suicide bomber on the day you're, you're leaving. They knew it in advance and no one ever told those sitting duck service members. And I'll never forget that the dignified transfer when Biden was looking his watch because he couldn't figure out how much more time he had to stay there while 13 service members were draped caskets were being offloaded at Joint Base Andrews. Insane. Insane. Put some people behind jail in behind bars in jail and they'll stop doing it. It worms coming up next. You know that little music they play? It means stop talking bowling. Shut up because worms coming up. We gotta hear what Bandit has to say. We'll be back.
