[Eric Bolling]

See terms foreign. Folks, four o' clock on the east coast. Markets are closed. Take a look all over the board today. By the way, in the markets, down early, down through the night. 3, 400 points in the Dow through the night. They're worried about inflation. Inflation came out this morning, came out very tame, more tame than they thought it was going to be. Rocketed straight up. 400 points up and we're going to end somewhere Almost unchanged. About 35 points higher in the Dow, only 3 points higher in the S P, a little bit lower in the Nasdaq. So very, very quiet close after a wild whipsaw two directional thing. The good news is inflation seems to be taming and President Trump has been saying exactly that. Jumping over to the oil market, down a little bit, 25 cents, nothing crazy. Still way too high. 60, almost $63 a barrel. Um, the gold, let's see what happened today in gold. Yesterday was down 150 bucks. Back up 100 today and back up over 5,000. $5,050 to the gold ounce silver. 80, 70, 77 dollars to the silver. And then crypto bounced a little today. Bounced a little. Certainly not like the old days of crypto. You know what I'm talking about. Up a couple thousand dollars in bitcoin. All right, so if you're 64 years or older, this is a very, very important message to you. Every year, too many seniors, Real Plan doesn't cover the doctors that they want to use and the ones they trust. Suddenly you're stuck finding new doctors or overpaying by thousands of dollars. That's Medicare for you. You can spend hours researching, doing everything right and still end up on a plan that costs you thousands more than you should be spending. That's why Real America's Voice has partnered with Chapter. Chapter is the only national advisor that compares every Medicare plan. On average. They save people eleven hundred dollars a year, on average. One caller named Jill said her Chapter advisor showed her options she didn't even see on Medicare's own website. That's exactly how broken the Medicare system is. Chapter is a free resource, free for my audience and can review all your options in under 20 minutes. So if you're on Medicare now, now, or will be soon, call our friends over at chapter at 814-ChAPTER 814 C H A P T E R. It's help you can trust. All right. Our first guest is a former CIA covert operations officer, now CEO of Portman Square Group. Also has that daily podcast called the President's Daily Brief. Happy to bring back Mr. Mike Baker on the show. Mike, we want to talk. There's so many things to talk about. I just want to stay on on Minneapolis for a second Trump. The Trump administration says Operation Metro Surge is winding down in Minneapolis. More than 3,000 ICE agents with were sent to Minneapolis and over 4,000 undocumented immigrants have been arrested. But the question is, Mag is listening closely to you, Mike, Is this the right thing to do, to leave? Is it the right thing to do?

[Mike Baker]

Well, they're not leaving entirely and Tom Homan was pretty clear about that. Look, I think he's doing the right thing by dialing it back. They have improved the cooperation with local law enforcement. Look, none of this, frankly, none of this would be something we'd be talking about. And I would argue we could have avoided those two tragic shootings that are still under investigation if there had been that cooperation to begin with. And you know, I turn around and say, look, this is sanctuary city. Sanctuary state policies that prevent ICE from doing what they're supposed to be doing according to federal law. And, you know, they instead have to go out in the communities they're engaged in, activity there shouldn't be engaged in because they're not supposed to be out there. Also providing crowd control and perimeter security for their operations, which could have taken place in local prisons, picking up people who had been detained. Those are the priority targets, of course, but you know, the sanctuary city leadership, they want to stand around and act like they have no responsibility for any of this. But Tom Holman said they're going to have some federal agents still in place to continue their work. But I do think that, you know, he's, he's probably doing the right move. He's a very smart guy. Look, he was awarded a medal for immigration by President Obama. So both sides should be able to agree with some of his policies.

[Eric Bolling]

My issue here, I'm pure maggot og Mag, in fact. So here's the issue. Trump said there's a problem we had anywhere between 9 and 19, 19 billion, according to Trump. Other people are saying $9 billion of fraud on coming out of Minneapolis. And there was a Somalians specifically. Some of them may have been illegal. So Trump sent a big force over there, a surge into Minneapolis Mayor, we know all the story. Get the F out of here. Ice. The local officials. Get the F out of here. Ice. And at some point, we on the right were classifying it as domestic terrorists. Right, because they were tormenting ice. They were protecting the Somalians. They're protecting people that shouldn't be here. And the pivot happened when Trump said, okay, we'll leave after two people lost their lives, but frankly, they're putting themselves in harm's way. We'll leave. It definitely toned down the temperature in Minneapolis, but the message it sends. If you want to bring someone in federally into a city or state that's having problems now, you can protest and get law enforcement or Trump to leave if you protest loud enough.

[Mike Baker]

Well, they've arrested hundreds who were involved in impeding the, the actions of the authorities. And, and that's, again, that's a law. It's on the books. Right? That's what you're supposed to do. They can protest, they just can't impede as they had been doing as they were encouraging.

[Eric Nesbitt]

Me.

[Eric Bolling]

Wrong. You're getting me wrong. The message of when they tell you to get the F out and then they, the administrative, the law enforcement gets the F out because people didn't like to be held accountable for what they were doing. You're sending a message that you're, you know, if you, if you protest loud enough against ICE or DHS or Trump, they'll leave. I, I think it's the wrong.

[Mike Baker]

Yeah, I think you're right. No, no, I, I don't think it's just you. I think it's, it's right. People are going to, on, on a particular side. By that, I mean, the hard left are going to interpret it that way. I think other people are going to be a little bit more rational. They're going to look at this and, and they're going to understand it is what it is. The problem I have with the fraud, which is incredibly important, but the two issues got conflated, right? The issue of going out there, arresting the worst of the worst, the criminal element within the illegal immigrant population, picking those people up. It got conflated with this fraud, which has to be followed through, that you've got to investigate. But it's not the same thing. The ICE operation on the street to pick up people who, frankly, they should have been picking up in local prisons if, again, the Sanctuary City leadership had allowed it to. You know, they're not supposed to be doing the fraud investigation. That fraud investigation is ongoing, but it needs to be monitored very Closely, Because I guarantee you, if they're allowed to let it slide, to get off the radar screen, to disappear under the rug, they'll do it. That has to be followed through. Because it's not just in Minnesota where that sort of fraud, that level of fraud has been taking place.

[Eric Bolling]

I want to show you an interchange. Keith Ellison, who should be on the hook, Attorney General of Minnesota. Under his watch and in the watch of Tim Walz, the Governor, somewhere between 9 and 19 billion dollars have been stolen from the people of this country. Not just Minnesota, but this country. He's the top law enforcement officer in the state. He had a back and forth that was pretty. Pretty. I call it disgusting. Watch this man's attitude, knowing that under his watch at least $9 billion are missing. Go watch. I can't imagine being a law enforcement official.

[Skip Bedell]

Where I know my colleagues have.

[Eric Bolling]

Been shot at, their vehicles rammed, that their trained activists deployed. And by the way, we know at.

[Skip Bedell]

Least one of those activists had a.

[Eric Bolling]

Semiautomatic pistol with extra clips. A tragedy was going to happen and you encouraged it and you ought to feel damn guilty about it.

[Mike Baker]

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yeah, sit there and smirk.

[Odoo Ad]

Smirk.

[Mike Baker]

Sick.

[Skip Bedell]

It is despicable.

[Eric Nesbitt]

Are you asking me for comment, Senator?

[Eric Bolling]

Because everything you said was untrue.

[Mike Baker]

It was a nice theatrical performance, but it was all lies.

[Eric Bolling]

You know, I call that a smug sob. But, Mike, your thoughts on why is he not concerned about what's going to come when we start really digging into what happened in Minneapolis?

[Mike Baker]

Well, I mean, he should be. At. At best, he was just completely negligent in doing his duty and following through this. It didn't just spring up that there were concerns over large scale fraud in some of the programs there in Minnesota. It had been bubbling away for a while, but they just couldn't be bothered for whatever reason. And again, it could be just ignorance, could be willful ignorance, it could be involvement. Who knows? That's all speculation at this point, but he should be concerned. And all I would say again is we can't let the spotlight off of that fraud investigation. Fraud investigations are fairly straightforward efforts. I've got a company, we do them all the time, all around the world. There's a methodology to it. It takes some time, but you work your way through it. You follow the money, you understand? And then there has to be consequences.

[Eric Bolling]

Stop right there. Stop right there. And then there has to be consequences because the rest is pomp and circumstance and the rest is what we've got for the entirety of this. Right? So, yeah. Oh, they're bad over there. We're going to get them, get in power. We're going to get them because they've been doing. We find out what they've been doing, and then it stops there, Mike. It just stops there. They don't. You don't see the perp walk. You don't see the jail cell door close.

[Mike Baker]

No, and I say this all the time. Look, Washington, D.C. is a place where investigations go to die. We seem to have moved far away from the idea that bad behavior has consequences. So I'm not confident that there will be consequences. I say that there should be. But again, the only way to try to drive towards that is to maintain a focus on it, maintain a spotlight on it. And frankly, a lot of the media would just be happy to let that go away because they love the narrative that this was all about ice. And you can see how quickly that fraud situation slipped off the radar for a lot of people.

[Eric Bolling]

Yeah, we're gonna leave it there, Mike. And the problem is both sides promise perp walks, promise accountability, promise transparency, and we just don't seem to get it. We were. By the way, folks, we're saying goodbye to Mike Baker. Always good to have you on, Mike. Appreciate your time. President's Daily Brief podcast host. Thank you, Mike.

[Mike Baker]

Take care, man.

[Eric Bolling]

And folks, we were looking at President Trump as he. I guess he was. He was at Fort Bragg. Now, is. Is this Joint Base Andrews, guys, or where is this shot? Right here at Fort Bragg. Okay, so that. That's Trump and Fort Bragg. All right, folks, we just premiered brand new important Edge episode yesterday morning, and it's. Hold on. Hold that thought for a second. Listen.

[Donald Trump]

So we had a great visit at Fort Bragg. We saw a lot of heroes, and as you probably heard, we're going to be giving one particular person the Congressional Medal of Honor for what just took place in Venezuela and met a lot of people right now. We were there for quite a while and it was beautiful. These are great warriors, these are great patriots, and they're in very good shape, I will tell you that.

[Eric Bolling]

What can Iran do to avoid attack?

[Donald Trump]

Give us the deal that they should have given us the first time. They give us the right deal. We won't do that. But, you know, historically they haven't done that. I will say they want to talk, but. But so far they do a lot of talking and no action. They've already started.

[Eric Bolling]

Do you want a scene change in Iran?

[Donald Trump]

Well, it seems like that would be the best thing that could happen. For 47 years, they've been Talking and talking and talking. In the meantime, we've lost a lot of lives while they talk and legs blown off, arms blown off, faces blown off. Has been going on for a long time. So let's see what happens. In the meantime, we have. Meantime we have. Tremendous power has arrived and additional power, as you know, and other carriers going out shortly. So we'll see it.

[Eric Nesbitt]

How?

[Donald Trump]

If we could get it settled for once and for all, that would be good.

[Mike Baker]

What would you want to say?

[Donald Trump]

What?

[Mike Baker]

Who would you want to take over?

[Donald Trump]

I don't want to talk about that. There are people. He's doing a great job inside that.

[Eric Bolling]

The radiant nuclear sites have been totally obliterated. What's left to go after?

[Donald Trump]

Well, you could get whatever the dust is down there. That's really the least of the mission. If we do it, that would be the least of the mission. But we, you know, probably grab whatever is. Whatever's left. It has been obliterated, as you know.

[Eric Bolling]

Would you accept anything less than zero nuclear enrichment?

[Skip Bedell]

I don't.

[Donald Trump]

We don't want any enrichment. We don't want enrichment. Thank you very much, everybody.

[Eric Bolling]

And there he goes off, off to. I guess. I don't know if he's come back to Palm beach or D.C. both. We'll keep an eye and we'll take a look into it. And if he does get off the plane, you have more comments, we'll. As always, real America's voice will take those comments. All right. Like I was saying, we just premiered a brand new and important Edge episode yesterday. One of our best. Did you know right now, artificial intelligence is profiling everything you and I do, what we buy, when we buy it. Even now, it's smart enough to figure out how much we're willing to pay for things even before we even realize how much we're willing to pay for things. That's how smart AI is getting. So we expose the devious trick. Major retailers, not just small, major. We're talking Walmart, we're talking Amazon, we're talking Kroger Foods on the West Coast. A scam they're pulling on customers to extract maximum amounts of money from us. The grocery store. Picture this. You walk into a store after work, you're exhausted, you're hungry. You just want to pick something up and go home. It's been a long day. The system knows that. It knows your phone, your routine, your spending patterns. The price you see is not the best price. It's the maximum price the algorithm thinks you'll tolerate. Is that fair? It's not what's equal but the max. And they know from your own history. They know the max and they know you'll fork it over. By the way, that's not capitalism. Capitalism requires transparency. This is algorithmic extraction and it doesn't stop at income. It's called dynamic pricing. And the edge just exposed, that's being used. Grocery stores, department stores and more. Just hit your QR code. Point the camera right at that one. You're going to want to watch this episode. It's unbelievable. Same people, same product, same time, same store, same checkout aisle, two different prices. Absolute BS folks. Eric Bowling the edge. Look it up. Anyway, we need you to subscribe. Why don't you watch it? But please subscribe. We'll be back. Two and a half minutes.

Here's the truth no one in pet food wants to say out loud if it isn't just fresh from just food for dogs, it isn't fresh, period. Because a lot of fresh dog foods in those cute little packages, they're not 100% human grade, they're not backed by real science, and they're definitely not something you could eat unless you enjoy mystery meat puree with a side of marketing spin. Just fresh is different. It's real beef, chicken, sweet potatoes, green beans, actual food you recognize. It's cooked daily in real kitchens. Vets recommend it. Dogs lose their minds for it. And honestly, if your dog could talk, they'd ask you why you ever fed them anything else. New year, new you. But what about your dog's fresh start? Make the switch. Make it just fresh from just food for dogs. Get 50% off your first box at justfoodfordogs.com that's justfoodfordogs.com no code, no fine print, no fake fresh. Just real food. Finally.

[Eric Bolling]

There's serious concern over chemicals and contaminants that are in our drinking water. Nationwide testing has clearly proven the presence of these contaminants and how they're responsible for many chronic health problems, even diseases like cancer and others. Here to weigh in on this very concerning issue is home improvement expert Skip Bedell. Skip, really good to have you. Hey, this is one of the most important things we can talk about. The water we're drinking and the water we're putting on our our bodies and our family's bodies. Tell us about the contaminants in this water.

[Skip Bedell]

Yeah, Eric, so you know we see it all the time in the news stories. There's so much and it's been going on for years now, but, but lately it seems really been ramped up. You know, stuff like lead, mercury, arsenic. And now we're seeing the last number of years a big spike in pfas or pfas known as forever chemicals.

[Odoo Ad]

Right.

[Skip Bedell]

They're showing up across the country.

[Eric Bolling]

Plastics.

[Skip Bedell]

Yeah. So from, from manufacturing the chemicals they use in manufacturing to make basically everything. I mean our clothes and textiles and you know, furniture technology, anything that has like plastic in it, those chemicals are in there getting into our drinking water. And now they've confirmed that's actually cancer causing. And we see a big spike in health problems. A lot of Americans, we're seeing the numbers in cancer rise, internal health problems. Also things like I might have mentioned to you in an earlier show, things like people are complaining the last number of years of a lot of chronic fatigue, chronic inflammation around their body, brain fog, things like that. Alzheimer's is on the rise. So we look at all these chemicals that are in our water and we say like, you know, it's definitely a direct response to the spike in things that are going on. And a lot of people are under the impression, I want to say a false sense of security, that if we've filter our drinking water or we only drink bottled water. Right. Like I don't have to worry about it because I'm not putting it in my body, I don't drink it, I filter everything. And that couldn't be farther from the truth, what I've said so many times, these appearances, and I was one that thought that way too. But after doing the deep research and speaking to so many doctors and scientists, really educating myself about that, you find out that your skin takes in more of those chemicals than you ever could by drinking it. When we shower and bathe, for example, like a 10 minute shower, like a hot shower, your body can take in up to six ounces of chemicals.

[Eric Bolling]

Chlorine.

[Skip Bedell]

Six ounces of chlorine chemicals.

[Eric Bolling]

Six.

[Skip Bedell]

Yeah, yeah. Believe it or not, yes.

[Eric Bolling]

This little vessel right here is about a half an ounce. So 12 of these in a shower, your body could be ingesting those chemicals.

[Skip Bedell]

That's correct. So because your skin is the largest organ on your body, it takes in everything like a sponge. And that's why there's so many medications that were prescribed by doctors that are said to apply topically because it's one of the fastest ways to get anything into your body. It goes directly through your skin into Your blood, bypassing your digestive tract. Right, right into your blood. So when you're showering, you're soaking yourself in this water, all those chemicals that you're hearing about, the PFAs and the lead and the mercury, like, I don't need to worry about it. No, you're taking it in through your skin, right into your blood. And even worse yet, when you stand there and you inhale the vapors from the shower, the mist and the steam, now it's very vaporizers, highly concentrated. You take that into your lungs, directly into your blood. So nobody thinks about that. And I too, didn't think about it until I started getting educated on this. Like, now I'm standing in the shower and I'm like, what? This is like, not now. It's scary, you know, like, what am I doing? So.

[Eric Bolling]

And you're looking at that shower water going, that's not filtered. That's going to hit me. Those are chemicals.

[Skip Bedell]

But I got a filter on my refrigerator or I only drink bottled water, so, you know, I'm good. And, you know, after you find out, really, the science, you understand what's going on, and we wonder why things are on the rise. So I brought along this little kit. This is just a basic pool test kit. Anybody that has a pool has seen one of these. It comes with some chemicals in it that you can test for things. The easiest thing to test for in our water, just to do a demonstration that's fast, is chlorine. Because every municipal water system, every city across the country, over 50,000 water municipalities, use chlorine to sanitize the water. Now we're going to test for chlorine today with this. It shows up very quickly with a color yellow if we it interacts with chlorine. But the purpose of this test, more than showing chlorine, is that how quickly it goes into your skin. So what I want to do is I want to stick my hand in this glass just for a minute or so. And if you want to just put like maybe three or four drops, five drops, you know, into that glass, three, four, five glass. We'll give this, like, maybe, you know, a minute, right? Let my skin, just my hands sit in this glass. And by the way, these were filled up right from the bathroom. So sink you have right here, right? So there's no filter on this building. There's no, you know, there's no filtration system. It's just basic municipal water, which everybody has. And by the way, Florida has like, one of the highest chlorine contents, I'm sure.

[Eric Bolling]

Tell you something else.

[Eric Nesbitt]

It was just.

[Eric Bolling]

They'll blow you away, folks. If every municipality has to post what's in their drinking water, it's what's in their water, right?

[Skip Bedell]

Yeah.

[Eric Bolling]

There are levels of fecal material that are acceptable. Think about that for a second. There's an acceptable level. I mean, it's not zero either. Can you imagine how much bad things you're getting by not filtering your water?

[Skip Bedell]

It's when people say acceptable levels of fecal matter, I don't see how any of that is acceptable.

[Eric Bolling]

So it's turning yellow. It's detecting chlorine.

[Skip Bedell]

It is, yeah. So it'll start to turn yellow now. And you're seeing that there's chlorine and it detects it pretty quickly. Hopefully they can see it on camera. You're going to get a pretty dark yellow there. And because there is a lot of chlorine in the water now, again, I'm testing for chlorine. But more importantly, I want to really show the difference between that glass and this glass because I've had my hand in it for a little while now. So it's only been about a minute or so. Typically, a shower, you know, is going to take a little bit longer.

[Eric Bolling]

See the yellow? Yeah.

[Skip Bedell]

So you can see the yellow. All right, so we can go ahead. And it's actually not quite as dramatic on camera, but you get, you get the idea.

[Eric Bolling]

I'm seeing a lot of yellow. So let's go ahead and try this.

[Skip Bedell]

Yeah. Put in like the same amount of drop that you put in that one into the other glass where my hand was.

[Eric Bolling]

And let's see this one. Yep.

[Skip Bedell]

Just like, you know, three, four drops in that one is good. Okay, that's cool. Let's see what happens with this. We'll give it a minute also to interact about the same way. So basically, by having your skin exposed to that water, your skin is sponging in whatever's in it. Right. So that's what we're going to show here. And you know, it's really important when you set up something like this. And by the way, this is what I used in my house. It's a whole house water filter. And it really kind of sucks. Solves the problem for you because you put this right where your water enters the building, right where your main shutoff valve is. It's a super easy installation. There's just one hose in and one hose out. That goes back to your house very fast. Install by maybe 30, 40 minutes. And then what this does all the water has to pass through this unit.

[Eric Bolling]

Everything, faucets, so every shower, ice maker.

[Skip Bedell]

Everything is completely filtered, you know, in your showers. Yeah, everything, yeah. And it's coming out alkaline. So this, this unit does not only do the job of a water softener taking out all the hard mistakes, minerals that clog up your plumbing, but it also sanitizes and filters all the water. And on top of that it converts it to alkaline. It reduces the, you know, it raises the pH to alkaline. So alkaline is where you want to be. You know, if you're acidic, you're going to be welcoming in cancer and other diseases. So you want to try to keep your body alkaline. Which is why a lot of people were spending like, you know, eight, nine dollars for a little bottle of alkaline water. Right. So. All right, so you can see it's interacting just a little bit, but not nearly as much as, as we did on that one. Because I have my hand in here, we'll let it sit even a little bit longer and you know, we'll see. The truth is right in front of you, but your skin takes all this stuff in like a spongebob.

[Eric Bolling]

How long does it take to install this? It looks pretty simple. It is literally the water main in. Connecting to what would have been connected to your water main in.

[Skip Bedell]

Yes. So this is the whole house water filtration system from Freedom Water again. Yep. Just one line in, one line out. It forces all the water to go through this filter.

[Eric Bolling]

Does this have, have to be changed? Is there, is there a.

[Skip Bedell]

No. You know, that's, that's a great question. One of my favorite parts about this particular brand is that it's maintenance free. There's, and if you see it's a sealed tank, there's no way to even get into it. There's no filters to change, nothing to add. A lot of people have systems like you have to put salt in it or different, you know, materials or you have to change cartridges out a few times a year. Those are a lot of work and they're expensive as well. This is basically set it and forget it. You know, it's guaranteed for 10 years.

[Eric Bolling]

My dog gets bottled water. I certainly like to stop spending so much money on bottled water. It's expensive.

[Skip Bedell]

It's expensive. Listen, the bottled water industry is 100 billion dollar a year industry because people, most people know enough not to drink the water from their tap. So a lot of people, the sales of bottled water is going through the roof but that doesn't help you for your bathing and all the other contact that we come in. You know, we use water for everything, right? You shower, you bathing, you wash your hands, brush your teeth. Everything you do, we use for water, you know, and we kind of take it for granted. So, yeah, you can see right now, right, it's like clearly, you know, very yellow and, and clear. So just that short amount of time, the minute that I have my hand in there, whatever chlorine was, pulled the.

[Eric Bolling]

Chlorine out of the water into my hand. That's amazing. That's untouched. Your hands in there. It pulled the chlorine out and there's very little left. Incomparably.

[Skip Bedell]

Yeah. And by the way, anybody watching this from home, you can all do this, this test very easily. Just so you know for yourself, you can go into any Walmart or anywhere they sell pool supplies and just get this test kit. It's a really easy way. Just run a couple glasses under your kitchen sink and, you know, put a hand in one. You know, you can see the difference right there. So we just want to demonstrate and just let the people know, kind of raise awareness. It's so important to filter all the water that comes into your home, not just the water that we drink.

[Eric Bolling]

You know, that's great, great, great, great system, Skip. Really good having you. Appreciate your time. Yeah, man, thanks for having me. Congratulations with your, with the great water grab, everyone. This is something everyone should have in the house.

[Skip Bedell]

Yeah, I would definitely recommend folks go to their [e-mail] and right now, Eric, it's a great time to get Woody's because they're running an awesome promo for all the RAV viewers. If you put in promo code SKIP26.

[Eric Bolling]

You can get it right there. Promo code SKIP26, receive $1,000 discount.

[Skip Bedell]

Yeah, it's a really, it's a great deal. It's almost like half price they're offering to people right now. So it's a great time to get one if you want to, you know, have your family be safe from the contaminants in the water.

[Eric Bolling]

Free water. Skip it all. Thank you, my friend.

[Skip Bedell]

Yeah, man, thank you so much for having me, brother.

[Eric Bolling]

Oh, I got some, I got some chlorine.

[Skip Bedell]

You got chlorine on you?

[Eric Bolling]

Thank you, Skip.

[Skip Bedell]

Yeah, brother.

[Eric Bolling]

All right, folks, we'll be right back.

Here's the truth no one in pet food wants to say out loud if it isn't just fresh from just food for dogs, it isn't fresh period. Because a lot of fresh dog foods in those cute little packages, they're not 100% human grade, they're not backed by real science and they're definitely not something you could eat unless you enjoy mystery meat puree with a side of marketing spin. Just Fresh is different. It's real beef, chicken, sweet potatoes, green beans. Actual food you recognize. It's cooked daily in real kitchens. Vets recommend it. Dogs lose their minds for it.

Finally.

[Eric Bolling]

Well, just when you thought there couldn't be many more fraud in the United States, guess what? There is this time Michigan in disabled adult foster care homes owned and run by Nigerians, not Somalians. This time Nigerians. Here to discuss the fraud in the state, the state is Senate Republican leader who's also running for governor, Eric Nesbitt. Eric, the fraud never ending. You know, it seems like it's just another day. You know, I think we're talking about some in, in Maine or Vermont as well. Tell us what you found. What do you know?

[Eric Nesbitt]

Hey Eric, thanks for having me on. And under seven years of Gretchen Whitmer and the Democrats in Lansing ruling Michigan, what we've seen is year after year of waste, fraud and abuse. State governments growing, more taxes are being taken away from hard working Michigan citizens. And what we're seeing is this, this collection of waste, fraud and abuse that's happening. I mean this is the same governor that a few years ago was caught giving away eight and a half billion dollars of fraudulent claims on unemployment over Covid. She's the one that's been caught sending out tens of millions of dollars to fraudulent non existent nonprofits or some that were just created the day that she decided to dish out the money. And there's been some reporting just recently this week from unheard news that saying that there's these adult foster care, these are folks that are supposed to be taking care of folks that can't take care of themselves, adults with behavioral health issues. And there was reporters that started going around asking questions, empty Buildings. Nigerian immigrants couldn't answer any questions. Folks not knowing where the money's actually going. This is wrong. This needs to end. Because we know every tax dollar that's taken out of the pocket of working families here in Michigan means it's more expensive for Michigan families to actually make it. Here in Michigan, we're fighting this waste, fraud and abuse. Last month, I pushed to have a full audit of our child care system here in Michigan, making sure that every dime is actually going to provide good childcare to hardworking families. I'm sorry, but with Governor Whitmer as governor and Dana Nestle as Attorney General here in Michigan, the waste, fraud and abuse just continues to grow. And we have to stop it. We have to hold people accountable.

[Eric Bolling]

So, Eric, tell us what kind of numbers we're talking. We were blown away that in Minneapolis we heard 9 billion Trump yesterday claim up to $19 billion in waste. Call it fraud. I'm sure it's waste at all. It's just straight up fraud. What kind of numbers you looking at? Maybe in Michigan, do we even even have a handle on that yet?

[Eric Nesbitt]

I mean, this is probably a billion dollar program, but we don't know. Again, there's good operators out there, but how much of it has actually gone to gangsters and fraudsters and folks that are cheating the system? This is the importance of making sure that we have a full audit of this, that we bring in the Department of Justice to help us do this audit, because we know what Governor Whitmer will do. She'll sweep it under the rug just like what Tim Waltz, her buddy in Minnesota, did the last few years. We can't let that happen here in Michigan. That's why running for governors, that we get out the waste, fraud and abuse, that we hold people accountable and that we make sure that every family and job creator and kid can actually make. And Michigan again.

[Eric Bolling]

I want to get to your running for governor in just a second, but I want to talk a little bit about how this happened. So 84 people, last check, were arrested in Minneapolis. And it stemmed from a white female US Citizen who was in charge of doling out or at least keeping an eye on some of these outlays. And she was just allowing these things to go on unchecked. I understand Gretchen Whitmer appointed a Nigerian to oversee the similar type of situation in Michigan.

[Eric Nesbitt]

Yeah, I mean, there was a partner of Gretchen Whitmer that just got charged with one and a half million dollars of stealing money from the state that's going to court. There's A former Democrat treasurer that was just caught and being taken to court for hundreds of thousands of dollars that she stole from an elderly person. I mean, this is stuff that's not being covered by the mainstream news. It's unfortunate they continue to cover it up, just like what they did with Tim Waltz in Minnesota. And you're right, it's probably billions of dollars. Last year, House Republicans found thousands of what we call ghost employees. There are employees that were funded, that were never hired, that were never actually put into the field, and yet there was money that was still going out. It's wrong. It needs to end. And this is why it's so important that folks like you are uncovering this so that we can hold them accountable this year and then actually hold them accountable in court.

[Eric Bolling]

Take it one step further, Eric. Here's the issue, folks. And you really have to understand that money is fungible, right? And what that means, If I put $10 in this pocket and pay for something, $5 out of here, it's still the same money, right? So when the federal government gives the states of Michigan or Minnesota money and they use other money for things like this or lose money through this, taxpayer money is being lost, not just Michigan taxpayer money, American taxpayer money is being lost. It's fungible. Where's Pam Bondi?

[Eric Nesbitt]

Well, this is where we sent the letter to, and they said they received it today. People need to be held accountable. You're exactly right. This is what the Department of Justice is there for. Because, believe me, we can't trust our Attorney General here in Michigan, Dana Nestle. She's saying she's doing an investigation on some of this fraud and gangsters and abuse. But we know that these Democrats and Lansing just cover for themselves. It's wrong. It needs to end. Fortunately, we have President Trump that's willing to actually take this to the people and actually hold people accountable. And my hope is that Pam Bondi and the folks at the Department of Justice actually step up and do their job on this.

[Eric Bolling]

I don't know the answer to this. Is Gretchen Whitner term limited, or is she up for reelection and you're running against her?

[Eric Nesbitt]

Yeah, she's termed out this year. And so there's somebody even less competent and more liberal running named Jocelyn Benson. This is a Secretary of State, kind of like a Katie Hobbs experience right here, where she let Chinese nationals vote in our elections a few years ago. She has 104% of of adults that are actually registered to vote in Michigan. We can't let her get anywhere close to the governor's office, a less competent, more liberal Gretchen Whitmer. That's the last person we need as governor here in Michigan. It's going to be important.

[Eric Bolling]

Has Michigan come back to right to the red voting for Trump? Is it red again? Because it was red when I grew up. Michigan was conservative then it was became blue. Where is it now?

[Eric Nesbitt]

Yeah, I think with President Trump winning Michigan in 2024, we were the only state that actually flipped the house from Democrat to Republican in the nation that I feel very positive. We go into this fall with Mike Rogers running against some extremist, Bernie, Bernie or Bernie Breaux in the U.S. senate. We have a great opportunity to pick up a U.S. senate seat here in Michigan. And this is a crossroads we're at. Is that, where are we going as a state? Is that, are we going to become a state that has less population, less incomes, less affordable, with less kids that are, that are learning? Are we going to shake up the status quo, burn down the bureaucracy and make sure that every parent has choice, every kid can read, every person has a opportunity to get a job, a good paying job here in the state. Because if we do nothing here in Michigan, we're going to be a big, a poorer, dumber, less prosperous state.

[Eric Bolling]

We're going to leave it there. Eric Nesbitt, you're running for governor. It's a, it's a pretty big field running for governor. But I like what you're up to. Closing some of these waste, fraud and abuse issues and, and maybe we find a way to just stop with Dearborn and this whole hat tip to Muslims having at least even no go zones within certain states and municipalities in America. It's just, I mean, last time I heard, Dearborn had the ringing of the bells for prayers a couple times a day, just as a hat tip to the Muslim population. This is America, folks. I'm not racist, I'm not bigoted. I just think when you come to America, you live like Americans, not like you live in the country you're coming from. That's just my personal opinion here. Yeah, go ahead.

[Eric Nesbitt]

Final thought, Eric. It's going to take a farm boy to clean up this mess here in Michigan. And that's what I'm doing. They expect a governor that works just as hard as they do. And that's what I'm going to do as governor is clean up all this mess. American laws, one constitution. That's what we're doing, doing.

[Eric Bolling]

You, you let us, you'll keep in touch with us and we'll let you. We'll keep talking about how that race is going. Eric Nesbitt, thank you so much.

[Eric Nesbitt]

Thank you folks.

[Eric Bolling]

We'll be back. Two and a half minutes.

All right, folks, you're looking live at Mardi Gras. Nolan's, Nolan's, Louisiana folks, you know, celebration for Mardi Gras should say because. Because as we all know, next week is Fat Tuesday where everyone, the theory is you, you party like it's 1999, get out of your system because Ash Wednesday, you, you make a commitment to give something up, so you party first. So it's starting a little early this year. Should we say Fat Tuesday, Ash Wednesday next week? Chuck Schumer just loved making Americans suffer through a shutdown. Chuck and his comrades dream at night about doing bad things for the country all in the name of of sticking it to Donald Trump. Well, Chucky is super excited again and not just because this weekend is here and he can flip burgers in a way that makes any real American, red blooded American, shudder. No, Chucky can't wait because he's just dying to shut down Department of Homeland Security tonight. Oh, and hey, Chuck, by the way, desperate and despite your evil dreams, ICE isn't going to be impacted. But. But sure is nice to know that the Senate Minority Leader of the United States of America is so informed.

[Mike Baker]

So as you all know from day one, I've said, unless there are really strong, meaningful reforms to rein in ICE and stop the violence, there will not be Democratic votes to fund ICE and extend the awful status quo that now exists.

[Eric Bolling]

Today's strong vote was a shot across.

[Mike Baker]

The bow to Republicans.

Democrats will not support a blank check for chaos. Democrats shut down, folks, midnight tonight if it happens. Jacob Fry is an absolute joke. Mayor of Somalia and Elmer Fraud. Somalia west and Elmer Fraud supported, even incited violence and chaos in their state. And now they think they deserve federal Compensation meaning taxpayer money to cover and pay for their idiocy and fraud.

[GotPrint Ad]

Governor Walls was, was talking about that as well, and he said he wants federal compensation because of what happened in Minnesota.

[Bethenny Frankel]

He said you don't get to break.

[GotPrint Ad]

Things and then just leave without doing something about it. Do you agree with that, that there should be federal compensation?

[Eric Nesbitt]

I do. You know, to give you an idea of the damage that we have collectively experienced, this has indeed been catastrophic. Now because, clear, we're not victims here. We are tough. We've got the kind of grit in.

[Skip Bedell]

Minneapolis that I think is admirable.

[Eric Nesbitt]

We're going to make an extraordinary comeback. And of course, we have to acknowledge the impact on people, on children, on small and local businesses, on our economy.

[Eric Bolling]

So rioters rip up the streets, people get killed, money is spent and you support them, and then you want to be compensated by the federal government that was trying to stop all of that. That nice. Good luck with that. Elmer Fraud and Jacob Fry Fry, so to speak. I think it's kind of crazy that the folks over at CNN actually still believe that they're doing unbiased reporting. But that's just what the raging mind virus of Trump derangements in those drum does to you. You don't even know you're doing it when you're doing it. I guess that's probably why they didn't notice how they've also almost lost 2/3 of their viewership since 2016.

[Bethenny Frankel]

You know, they always argue the media is biased against them and doesn't cover.

[GotPrint Ad]

Them fairly, even though we cover them, I think fairly inaccurately. You wanted the focus to be on the subject matter and not on you.

[Bethenny Frankel]

Personally as a reporter.

[GotPrint Ad]

And so I always try to keep that distance in terms of that.

[Bethenny Frankel]

And I think keeping your composure in.

[GotPrint Ad]

That point is important because you never want to prove them right on that front that they are right, that you're biased against them or that you have a personal, you know, angst here. I don't.

[Eric Bolling]

Cable News loses about 8% of their audience every single year. It's been going on for 10 years. It'll continue to do that. But CNN and MSNBC have lost an inordinate number, way more than 8% each year. They're getting smoked. Fox and right wing channels are picking up real America's voice. Picking, picking up all those folks who are realizing it's just propaganda that they're watching when they watch CNN and msnbc. This was a great moment on Thursday between Ohio Republican Senator Bernie Moreno and Soros funded Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. This guy. I just cannot. This guy rubs me the wrong way. I cannot stand this man. It's so easy to trip up these Democrats because nothing they believe in actually makes any sense at all. Not a big shot lawyer like you. Just a quick question. If you enter the country illegally or you overstay a visa, should you be deported? My simple answer is, sir, it depends. Okay, so if somebody breaks into your home, should they be arrested for breaking entry or does it depend? It's an entirely different scenario. How's that?

[Eric Nesbitt]

Because immigration is essentially civil and breaking into my home is a criminal matter.

[Eric Bolling]

Oh, okay. Gotcha. So if there's. So there's laws that should be enforced. So we shouldn't enforce civil violations. We absolutely should enforce them. So. But you just said that it's a civil matter, so it's different. So if somebody. You enforce civil matters. So if somebody commits a civil infraction, it shouldn't be enforced.

[Donald Trump]

It should be.

[Eric Bolling]

Okay, so they should be deported. No, they should have due process that is associated with their petition. So, for example, the act of entering the country illegally, you think we should say, well, did you really do it or not do it? It's pretty obvious that they did, right?

[Public Investing Ad]

Well, I mean, it would depend on.

[Eric Bolling]

The facts of the situation. The scary part is it's not that he's a raging liberal lunatic who will twist, you know, facts. It's that he's the top lawmaker in the state of Minnesota. The top attorney general right there. Horrible people. Horrible people. Missouri senator Josh Hawley also got to expose Ellison at the hearing. And right from the get go, you could tell it was going to be a great exchange.

[Public Investing Ad]

Senator Hawley, thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Ellison, let me start with you. You're the attorney general of the state of Minnesota. Do I have that correct?

[Eric Bolling]

That's a yes, sir.

[Mike Baker]

You're aware of my job.

[Eric Bolling]

You know the answer to that is you're not gonna answer my questions. Are we gonna start this way?

[Public Investing Ad]

Are you the attorney general of the state of Minnesota? Yes or no?

[Eric Bolling]

You know the answer. Mr. Ellison, you're in my courtroom now. You're under oath. So I suggest that you answer my questions. You the chief law enforcement officer of.

[Public Investing Ad]

The state of Minnesota? Yes or no?

[Eric Bolling]

Let's try another question. Are you familiar with the $9 billion.

[Public Investing Ad]

In historic fraud out of your state, including the $250 million in the feeding Our Future program alone? You familiar with that?

[Eric Bolling]

Don't turn to the pages in your book to get your potted answers. Are you familiar with it. Yes or no?

[Mike Baker]

Yes.

[Eric Bolling]

I am familiar with it.

[Public Investing Ad]

Very familiar.

[Eric Bolling]

Aren't you?

[Eric Nesbitt]

Don't talk over me.

[Eric Bolling]

As early as 2019. It's my hearing, pal. As early as 2019. Don't call me Whistleblowers came. Well, I should call you a prisoner because you ought to be in jail.

[Mike Baker]

Well, we'll see what you can.

[Eric Bolling]

In 2019, whistleblowers came to you in your office and referred to you fraud allegations from Feeding Our Futures, and you blew them off. He's so easy. They just. They. They just. They're trying to lie. They can't lie. Especially when you have smart guys doing the questioning. That was great. Those are great. And what a smug SOB That Keith Ellison is. Folks, just rubs me the wrong way. All right, we just premiered a brand new and important episode yesterday, and it's one of our best. Did you know, right now, artificial intelligence. This is amazing. What they're using. Artificial intelligence through your phone, through your every. Everything you do, all your activities, they know more about you than you even know about yourself, including how much you're willing to pay for something. So when you go into some stores in America right now, today, you can be in the same store with the same person right over there, buy the same product at the same time, go to checkout aisle, get two different prices. Did you know that? Because they know you're able to pay more, you're willing to pay more through your algorithm. Watch the grocery store. Picture this. You walk into a store after work. You're exhausted, you're hungry. You just want to pick something up and go home. It's been a long day. The system knows that. It knows your phone, your routine, your spending patterns. The price you see is not the best price. It's the maximum price the algorithm thinks you'll tolerate. Is that fair? It's not what's equal, but the max. And they know from your own history. They know the max, and they know you'll fork it over. By the way, that's not capitalism. Capitalism requires transparency. This is algorithmic extraction, and it doesn't stop at income. All right, folks, we are exploding. We're growing so fast. I just want you to use your camera. Hit that QR code right there if you can. If you don't, don't worry. Either go to Google it or go to right to YouTube. Eric Bolling and the Edge. Put them both together. Get there, subscribe, you'll get all that information. Never going to charge you a thing.

Here's the truth no one in pet food wants to say out loud. If it isn't just fresh from just food for dogs, it isn't fresh, period. Because a lot of fresh dog foods in those cute little packages. Packages, they're not 100% human grade, they're not backed by real science, and they're definitely not something you could eat unless you enjoy mystery meat puree with a side of marketing spin. Just fresh is different. It's real beef, chicken, sweet potatoes, green beans. Actual food you recognize. It's cooked daily in real kitchens. Vets recommend it. Dogs lose their minds for it. And honestly, if your dog could talk, they'd ask you why you ever fed the them anything else. New year, new you. But what about your dog's fresh start? Make the switch. Make it just fresh from just food for dogs. Get 50% off your first box at justfoodfordogs.com that's justfood for dogs dot com. No code, no fine print, no fake fresh. Just real food. Finally.

Alright. Do you remember, do you watch the Super Bowl? Do you remember this commercial? This new ring commercial? Ring cameras. The one that Amazon dropped during the Super Bowl? The warm fuzzy little ad about finding a lost puppy well behind the cute golden retriever. Something whole, whole lot darker. Because what they were really selling wasn't pet safety. It was the idea that a neighborhood wide always on surveillance grid is just, you know, pure, wholesome fun community. Fun safety. Looking out for the puppies. Don't worry, everyone's camera is going to be watching everything you do all the time. Isn't that great? George Orwell is spinning in his grave right now. Because think about what it actually means. If this system can track a dog across an entire town, it can also track you. And it will. It can track your entire family, your every move, your habits, all of that information stored, analyzed and ready to be accessed by whoever decides they deserve a peak personal liberty gone, privacy no more. We're not talking about science fiction here. It's happening right now. But it's being marketed with soft music and puppy eyes so no one notices the freedoms being chipped away underneath us. And we've seen this playbook before. Violation of Privacy rolled out as convenience. Don't worry, it's just a safety measure. It's just a temporary solution until it's not temporary. Because once those cameras are on and rolling, they will never turn off. Trust me. Welcome to the surveillance. I almost said it. Welcome to the surveillance state, folks. And if you haven't heard much about this story, well, you will now and you'll hear much more of these kinds of stories. We just launched the brand new weekly libertarian newsletter. We call it Bowling Weekly. We dig into this story, the ad, the very real threat behind it. Because these kinds of stories rarely get the coverage they deserve and almost never from the perspective that actually matter how your freedom, your privacy and your personal liberty are being eroded in real time. So if this ring story made you raise an eyebrow, good. It should. If you want more like that, we're cutting through the noise telling you what's really going on. So look out. Make sure you're signed up for the newsletter. You can find it on my website, ericbolling.com you can find it on all my social medias, ericbolling across all the social media platforms. All right, how about this one? This weekend, real America's Voice Steve Bannon hosting a very special war room entitled The 500 Days of Tina Peters. Tune in on Saturday, February 14, 11am and February 15, Sunday at 2pm you won't want to miss it. All right, we got a little time, Ben, for a voicemail or two.

[Mike Baker]

Yes, sir. We have a viewer wants to know how they can find out which Republicans to primary.

[Eric Bolling]

Eric, somebody asked the Force tone to have a vote regarding a filibuster so that we can know what Republican rhinos need to be what you call primaried. Without them having a vote, you have no idea where they really stand. Thanks. You're so right, sir. Not only phone. Yes, yes. On this issue, on the Save act is what you're talking about. I agree with it, but it should be everyone. You know, this is why Mike Johnson, speaker of the House and the House side doesn't bring votes when Trump is he's doing executive orders. Johnson won't bring it to a vote because he's worried about which rhino is going to get exposed. Because if Trump is putting an executive order, you're pretty damn well sure a conservative America First, a real conservative, a MAGA congressman or woman would vote for it. Right. But the ones that they have the House, they can get past the House. He doesn't bring them because he knows they're rhinos. They're going to vote against it he does. He wants to protect rhinos. Mike Johnson, John Thune. Get rid of them, Benny.

Attention on the Epstein files.

[Bethenny Frankel]

Hi, Eric Bowen. I watch your show all the time. I think you're fantastic. My name is TJ and I'm from Liberty, Texas. And I'm calling because I did watch the halftime show. Of course, of course I did with Turning Point usa. It was beautiful. But I'm just feeling kind of sad about these Epstein files coming out and nobody is upraised or I can't believe what's in them, what they're doing to the children and the horrible things that that are happening in our country. And it seems like it's being pushed on the back burner when we should be going after these people and stopping this. And everybody's worried about the super bowl and children are being tortured and hurt in this way. It just makes me very sad that people are just more upset and causing more of a commotion about what's really happening in this world world. And you have a great day and a great weekend.

[Eric Bolling]

Well, TJ from Liberty, Texas, what a great name for a town. You're right. I, I, I agree with you. And it doesn't tends not to be a popular opinion because let's be honest, President Trump doesn't want to talk about he said there's no no here. They're there. And I agree with the folks who say, Pam, Bonnie, you promise some perp walks, you promise some arrest, let's see them. It doesn't make man Howard Lutnick. All right, put him, call him.

[Mike Baker]

Why?

[Eric Bolling]

Why is this guy. I won't go into Howard. L I agree with you, ma'. Am. I think the transparency matters. These folks look, Goldman Sachs just let someone go. It's happening around the world. We need to know who did what and when. And maybe we need to clean house a little bit. That's my opinion. Sorry if it ticks people off. Love you. Have a great weekend. We're going to be back on Monday from Orlando. Monday and Tuesday from Orlando.
