Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. U.S.-Iran Tensions and Foreign Policy

[01:25, 16:04, 17:36]

• Rising conflict with Iran: Eric Bolling points to deteriorating negotiations and imminent threat of U.S. strikes (“We may be looking at some sort of strike on Iran…” [01:25]).
• Market reaction: Turmoil pushes up gold and crypto, with gold at an all-time high (“Gold market up 100 bucks an ounce today… up almost 80% this year alone” [01:25]).
• Guest John Solomon’s analysis:
  • U.S. stance has hardened—“Iran doesn't get to dick around anymore. Here are the terms: take it or be bombed into smithereens” [17:36].
  • Anticipates decapitation strikes and economic siege, not ground troops.
  • U.S.-Israel cooperation highlighted (“Israel could do the work itself, too, but with the United States just enforcing a blockade” [19:26]).
  • Trump’s approach: quick, precise strikes rather than long wars (“...all of the military action that he's taken, it's been incredibly precise, limited in nature, and all thus far, all entirely successful” [21:00]).
  • Addressing internal threats: Iran could activate sleeper cells in the U.S., especially Hezbollah (“They have sleeper cells on our soil. They could activate Hezbollah here” [21:00]).

2. 2028 Presidential Race: AOC and Rubio in Munich

[04:06, 05:16, 09:06, 09:55]

• AOC and Rubio at Munich Security Conference:
  • Bolling contrasts their performances, mocking AOC’s “deer in the headlights” response to policy questions, especially on foreign affairs (“She only has experience on domestic topics... you put her on that foreign stage… failed miserably” [05:59]).
  • Marco Rubio portrayed as having gravitas and a clear grasp of global issues (“we want allies who are proud of their culture... heirs to the same great and noble civilization” [04:39]).
  • AOC pushes a “class-based internationalist perspective” and a swift wealth tax (“We shouldn’t wait for her to be president, just get a wealth tax in there early” [04:21], "I think that it needs to be done expeditiously" – AOC [04:10]).
• Brian Glenn’s take:
  • Stark differences in polling and skills: “She does poll fairly strong... because she's charismatic, because she's young. But... she stumbles” [05:16].
  • On Trump’s prospective picks: JD Vance and Marco Rubio are both mentioned as potential front-runners, depending on the foreign policy focus.
  • Speculation of Mark Cuban as a “dark horse” Democrat candidate due to his business/entertainment background [11:48].
• Cultural observations:
  • Discussion of Republican “iron sharpens iron” competition as fostered by Roger Ailes [09:06], and Trump’s television instincts in political positioning [09:55].

3. New York City’s Fiscal Experiment Under Mayor Zoran Mamdani

[25:37 – 33:27]

• Populist promises vs. economic reality:
  • Satirical critique of free services (“Free buses, free groceries, free rent. What could possibly go wrong? Well, just about everything” [25:37]).
  • Comparison of NYC ($127B budget for 8.5 million people) vs. Florida ($117B budget for 23 million) [26:53].
  • Mandated rent freezes and attempts to tax the rich, but the burden falls to property owners due to legislative reality and budget shortfalls.
  • Criticizes the mayor's policies as “communism” and predicts dramatic tax increases for New Yorkers (“Raise property taxes by almost 10%... on homeowners and renters alike” [28:58]), warning that services are declining and the middle/lower classes will pay.
• Key quote: “When a politician says something is free, it just means you haven’t paid for it yet. Nothing’s free, someone always pays. And right now, New York is about to find out exactly who that is.” [32:17] – Eric Bolling

4. Media and Democratic Party Controversies

[35:31 – 44:42]

• Equal time dispute:
  • Stephen Colbert claims CBS legal blocked him from airing an interview with TX Rep. James Talarico due to FCC equal time rules, but CBS denies it—was apparently just legal guidance, not censorship.
  • Jazzy Jasmine Crockett clarifies: “The federal government did not shut down this segment. That is my understanding...” [36:13].
  • Bolling’s take: Democrats, not conservatives, are inventing censorship controversies to their advantage.
• Identity politics & campaign battles:
  • Crockett laments being questioned on electability, calling it a “dog whistle” against Black women [37:22].
  • Critique that Democrats are turning every issue into one of identity, regardless of context.

5. Epstein Files Fallout: Double Standards and Media Hypocrisy

[38:28 – 51:05]

• Reactions to famous names in Epstein files:
  • Whoopi Goldberg addresses being in the files: “Anybody can be on this. Anybody.” [39:04]
  • Discussion on coverage: Media and public quick to judge Trump, Bannon, but lenient towards progressives when similar associations emerge (“Don’t trash Bannon if you did it yourself too” [51:05]).
  • Bolling on Clinton: “We have video of Clinton in hot tubs with young girls and Ghislaine Maxwell. We have Clinton doing really, really weird things. So don’t compare Bannon and Clinton and certainly Whoopi.” [51:05]
• Commentary on conservative vs. progressive treatment in media:
  • “Running Bannon's name in the bond, that's not conservative. That's not protecting one of ours. Bannon was a filmmaker before he was ever in politics. He was a documentary filmmaker. Bannon was making a film about Jeffrey Epstein.” [49:53]

6. More Democrat Drama: Sanctuary Cities and DEI

[40:11 – 42:56]

• Philadelphia Mayor Sherrelle Parker fumbles “sanctuary city” question:
  • Bolling mocks her non-answer as a sign Democrats have lost clarity on key issues.
  • Rant against language slippage (“can we just get over this Axe thing? ... Just speak it. If a white guy says ax, I want to call him out, too.” [41:16])
• Attacks on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion):
  • Washington DC Water manager’s comments on racial representation in utilities become a target for attack post-sewage spill (“DEI must die” [41:37]).
  • Asserts that such policies lead to incompetence, using a sewage spill as evidence.

7. Potshots at Media, Pride Flag Debate & Listener Voicemails

[47:19 – End]

• Pride flag protection:
  • Listener indignant at legislation to give the pride flag the same status as the U.S. flag. Bolling agrees, “Stop with the gay pride flag, guys. There's no reason they represent 1% of the population. Trans do. Maybe 10, maybe 12%. All stop. Just stop. Too many people have died protecting that flag.” [47:51]
• Defending Bannon, attacking Newsmax:
  • Bolling claims Newsmax censors conservative voices and slams them for running stories on Bannon’s mention in the Epstein files.
  • Listener suggests Trump should buy CBS to bring “real TV” to the public [51:58]; Bolling speculates about CBS shifting rightward under Barry Weiss.

Overall Tone & Style

Unfiltered, satirical, confrontational, and unapologetically right-leaning. Eric Bolling delivers pointed critiques, frequently mocking progressive politicians, policies, and mainstream media. He uses colorful invective, rapid-fire analysis, and a touch of showmanship (competitive references, listener engagement) characteristic of cable news punditry. Guest contributions, especially from Brian Glenn and John Solomon, provide insider analysis but retain an informal, at times bantering, tone.

---

In Sum

This episode offers a blend of headline-driven analysis—on foreign policy crises, emerging electoral battles, and big-city economics—interlaced with culture war jabs and behind-the-scenes media and political gossip. The show’s critique is sharpest on progressive policies and figures but also covers conservative media ecosystem dynamics and listener questions about news parity and political representation.

[Eric Bolling]

We have chosen not to negotiate with the Trump administration, so we may be looking at some sort of strike on Iran. Anytime you strike a producing nation that spikes oil prices, you spike a consuming nation. It makes it go down. That's the way oil market works. Gold market up 100 bucks an ounce today in gold. Silver up 360. Crypto again, very, very close to that. 63, 62, $63,000 area. If it breaks 63 it's got a 35, we call them handle. It's got 35 handle in it. So very, very tenuous crypto market right now. International disputes, inflation, rising national debt, digital currency.

All right, guess what? Two of our potential 2028 presidential nominees have been very busy this week. We've been talking about it all week. AOC and Marco Rubio were in Munich, Germany at the Munich Security Conference. One commanded the room and one had trouble getting her thoughts out to the public. Here to break down potential race for the White House is our own RAV Chief White House correspondent Brian Glenn. Before we jump into it, Brian, let's hear. Should we hear a little bit from each one of the. The reason why I set this up this way is it just struck me to two Hispanics, two people, young people who. Younger ish people for Marco Rubio on side, but two people who are looking possibly to be the next President of the United States. And there couldn't be a bigger diversity of what these people brought to that stage. Trish, can we roll first AOC A little bite of her. So when you run for president.

Are you going to impose a wealth tax.

Or a billionaires tax?

[Jazzy Jasmine Crockett]

I don't think that I, I don't think that anyone. And that we don't have to wait for any one president to impose a wealth tax. I think that it needs to be done expeditiously.

[Eric Bolling]

Oh, good news. So that was the one where she said, you know, we're just, we shouldn't wait for her to be president, just get a wealth tax in there early. Then she couldn't figure out where the equator was and then she had words and she called Western civilization with air quotes. How about on the other side of the coin, the, the right side of the aisle. Let's hear a little Rubio.

And this is why we do not.

Want our allies to be weak because that makes us weaker. We want allies who can defend themselves so that no adversary will ever be tempted to test our collective strength. This is why we do not want our allies to be shackled by guilt and shame. We want allies who are proud of their culture and of their heritage, who understand that we are heirs to the same great and noble civilization and who together with us are willing and able to defend it. So Brian, what is the take on this? I mean, is DC seeing the stark differences between, you know, who the candidates on the left and the right? Could be, yeah.

[Brian Glenn]

Good afternoon, Eric. One sounds like they could openly discuss Russian politics and US Russian relationships. The other one sounds like they could actually serve you a White Russian at the bar. And there couldn't be any more stark differences between these two candidates. And I'd say candidates very lightly when I talk about aoc, Eric. Now she does poll fairly strong among Democrats and independents because she's charismatic, because she's young. But as you could see, when you put her on the world stage and try to get her to talk about foreign policy or just foreign politics in general, she stumbles.

[Eric Bolling]

Now he stumbles. Brian, if you heard three or four of the. What an unforced error to put her on that stage. I mean she, she's able to just fire venom at Trump and talk about things domestically. Cuz that's what. She only has experience. And you put her on that foreign stage complete deer in the headlights, lost, nowhere to go and just failed miserably. Like she couldn't even ad lib it. Like Trump. Trump came to politics not knowing anything about politics. He was still able to be smart enough to read the room and know where to put buttons. But she is completely lost in the woods, Brian.

[Brian Glenn]

It really is. She really is. And if you scale it from 1 to 10, 10 being an official Kamala Harris word salad, she's probably at a 9. But that is an embarrassment for the Democrat Party if they feel like this is the person they need to send over. They've got a list of other people that potentially could be a viable 2028 Democrat nominee. Go into Gavin Newsom, who's a front runner on this. You've got Josh Shapiro, you've got other ones like Gretchen Rittmer, who by, by was there as well. They should have been in that seat, not aoc, because she was an embarrassment in. For this country. And actually President Trump just days ago mentioned that as well, that she had no business being on that world stage.

[Eric Bolling]

Representing the U.S. yeah, I mean, I mentioned the Western civilization. Civilization. Air quotes. And, and she had taken a shot at Rubio's speech, which is baffling. Couldn't be, it couldn't be the wor. You know what they say, you know, if, if someone's got you and you're kind of caught in the public right now, just stop digging because it's only going to make it worse. Listen to what she said about Rubio. But mind you, Rubio's speech has standing ovation from the crowd. The foreign, foreign people, reporters and diplomats crowd. But listen to what she said.

[Jazzy Jasmine Crockett]

They want to take this mantle of culture at the end of the day though is, you know, it is very thin. And so the response that we have to have is again, it's material, it's class based, it's common interest. There was certainly more openness to what I was saying than probably there would be in years past. We can't underestimate the appeal of going back to these well worn grooves. A lot of what we talk about, when we talk about a class based internationalist perspective also means ending the hypocrisy towards the global South.

[Eric Bolling]

No idea. Honestly, just wandering the room saying words that don't even string together. Final thoughts on aoc. Before I ask you a very important question.

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, I've been trying to follow. I've got her transcript right here and I honestly cannot decipher what the hell she is saying right now. Clearly it's about what, a 13 hour flight from D.C. to Munich. You would think at one point one of her handlers there, her chief of staff or someone in her comms department would have given her some paper, some notes to talk on issues like this. But apparently that did not happen.

[Eric Bolling]

Yeah, Brian. Okay, important question. So we saw Ruby on the global stage. Now I'm coming from a place I, I learned my everything about this and TV from Roger Ailes, one of the, probably the best TV mind in, in the history of television news. And he used to pit people against each other. He wanted everyone to be competitive. It was his competitive juices that he, he felt rose Fox to the top and people on Fox. So he put Hannity and O'Reilly together and they, you know, let them duke it out. Jesse Waters and I, he put us together all the time just because, for whatever reason. So, and I noticed Trump has been saying Vance and Rubio a lot. Vance and Rubio a lot. You're inside that Oval Office. I want, we want to know from the inside the Oval, what's your sense? Is there a front runner, at least in Trump's mind?

[Brian Glenn]

It's really interesting you ask that question because oftentimes President Trump has mentioned Marco Rubio as someone that is viable for 2028. But you know, JD Vance and Marco Rubio, they are friends, they have a great relationship. Matter of fact, Marco Rubio even said that if JD Vance wants to make a pursuit for the 2028 run, which presumptively he's the front runner that he would defer to J.D. vance. So they have that relationship. But with that said, we still have a couple years left before we start to really get into that 2028 primary season, if you will. And there's a lot of news that can develop, whether or not it seems like if it's more geared to foreign policy, I would think that Marco Rubio might get a little bit of a nod on that since he's been primarily involved in that now as far as MAGA is concerned, Eric, I think that JD Polls very strong amongst maga and he would presumptly be a frontrunner. But Trump does like to do this, and he did this in the Oval Office with Zelensky. He let that whole debate play out because he knew it was good television. He knew that Zelensky was getting himself in a situation. And when J.D. ben said, Mr. President, if you, if you don't mind, I'd like to. And when he jumped in, it got even better. So President Trump perhaps is iron sharpening. You know, iron sharpens iron. And perhaps President Trump is participating in that when it comes to the 2028 nominee.

[Eric Bolling]

Indeed. I just note that I think Rubio is very talented, but I'll never forget he was part of that gang of eight that was anti immigration before Trump was even running for president before that. I just can't get that out of my mind. Brian. I hear very quickly only a couple just you have a fantasy 2028 lineup. You know what's funny?

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, I like to play fantasy politics and do this lineup. I have a dark horse for you. And if go to the poly market, I don't even know if this guy's on there yet, but if he is, I throw a couple bucks on there. Mark Cuban. And the reason why I say Mark Cuban is when I was in Dallas market working for Salem Radio, I often did a lot with the Dallas Mavericks that covered Mark Cuban pretty extensively. I know at that point he had no interest in getting into politics, even though he thought he had a better plan for America. Well, now his kids are growing up, they don't have to worry about that. He's no longer involved in Shark Tank. He's no longer recording that he's no longer a majority owner in the Dallas Mavericks, doesn't worry about that. I think Mark Cuban and his focus on health insurance, on pharmaceutical drugs, all of that puts him in a particular situation where if he was presented as a potential nominee for the Democrats, he would poll pretty, pretty good because he is reality TV star For the most part and owned a basketball team. People know him, they trust him. He's someone to look out for for the Democrats. But I do see this.

[Eric Bolling]

J.D.

[Brian Glenn]

Vance is in charge of rooting out the waste, fraud and abuse in California under Gavin Newsom. That role of doing that I think sets up a potential head to head coming up in 28. They're already getting J.D. vance prepared to attack Gavin Newsom.

[Eric Bolling]

There you go. There you go. I like it. I like your theory. I also like a business guy on the left to try and his hand at it. I just know my, I know Mark Cuban personally. He will fail miserably on the debate stage. In the other stages, I just, I just, he, he gets, he gets too nervous, he gets too liberal and, and he's a bit of a whack job. But anyway, I like it. I like where you're going with that. Brian Glenn, always chief White House correspondent at ra. Thank you. Okay, folks, Mark's today. Today right here marks five months. That's it.

[Eric Bolling]

All right, let's talk Medicare because a lot of folks aren't getting the full story. Most Medicare agents, when you call them, they push Medicare Advantage plans even when they're not right for you. Why? Well, because that's where they make their money. That's where those folks make money. So seniors are paying the higher prices. That's what makes chapter different. They walk you through original Medicare, Medigap, Medicare Advantage and Part D with the pros and cons all laid out for you so you can make the right decision for your own family's health needs. Donna said her chapter advisor walked her through every option, explained everything in a way she could actually understand. Plus they saved her thousands of dollars. If you're on Medicare now or will be soon, call 843M MED help m e d h e l p 843M MED help to learn about enrollment options and find ways to save. It's free, it's quick and they can review all your options in under 20 minutes. Most people wished they had called sooner so as the US apparently we're getting closer to war with Iran. It's been reported by Axios the that a conflict could begin very soon if nuclear negotiations with Tehran collapse, possible military action could occur. To talk more on this, the CEO and Editor in chief of Just the News, our good friend John Solomon, John J.D. vance said yesterday or today said, unfortunately it looks like the Iranians have turned Down. One of the things that the Trump administration. Administration really wanted them to sign on the dotted line about. And then we moved some assets in the region. What do you know?

[John Solomon]

Yeah, listen, I think the president says what he means and means what he says, and that is that we're willing to make a deal, but Iran doesn't get to dick around anymore. Here are the terms. Take it or be bombed into smithereens. And I think the mullahs seem to have an interest in being bombed into smithereens. They're not effectively negotiating. Now. There was some modest progress at conversations yesterday, but the. There's a couple of big sticking points, and Iran is famous for this. We won't agree to that. Oh, we might agree to it. And they drag it out and drag it out and drag it out, and then you never really get a deal. I think President Trump's patience is thin on this, and given the ease at which he was able to go in and bomb the nuclear reactors and take them out of commission, I think pretty strongly he feels confident our military can create some pretty significant regime change through military force without putting boots on the ground.

[Eric Bolling]

So what would that be? What would that look like, John? If we're not going to take out the nukes, you take out the mullah infrastructure, where they're living, the palaces and whatnot.

[John Solomon]

Yeah. Decapitation strike. Sees all the rest of their money, so they've got no money free. Create a blockade so they can't bring oil out. Listen, Iran's an oil or die sort of. They only have two businesses, terrorism and oil. Right. And if you can blockade their oil, there's no cash flow coming in. And so you can stranglehold that country pretty significantly financially. Its own populace has shown it's frustrated. And so with a little assistance from top, maybe a decapitation strike or two, like we did on Saddam Hussein early on in the second Gulf War, I think you could put a pretty significant opportunity for the people of Iran to overthrow it by us just creating air superiority over the country.

[Eric Bolling]

And, you know, all indications are it will be a joint operation with Israel.

[John Solomon]

Yeah, I think that's right. That's why Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu made his seventh trip here to visit President Trump in the first year for 13 months of the Trump presidency. You get a sense that they're working very closely on this, and Israel could do the work itself, too, but with the United States just enforcing a blockade. So there's a lot of different options that have been created for the president, and that allows him as he always does, to make a clear decision when he feels the moment's right.

[Eric Bolling]

You know, Trump is earlier talking to Brian Glenn, I said Roger Ailes is probably the best TV producer that's ever walked the earth. I would say a very close second be Donald Trump. And the reason why I say this is there's a big event happening next Tuesday going to give a lot of eyeballs on D.C. i mean, what a time if you're going to do it, to announce to of the world really what you did.

[John Solomon]

Yeah. Or to make the final case for it. That's another way he could look at that moment. Here's why we do it. I don't like using the military, but we got to and look what we just did on Maduro and we got a chance here to save the world. So he's got, even in that moment of the State of the Union, he could precede the State of the Union with an attack or he could make the final case for it by having a straight conversation with the American people unfiltered by the media, which is always spinning to put the most negative possible connotation on anything he's trying to do.

[Eric Bolling]

John, what's your take on the folks that say, you know, Trump kind of told us he was against war and all of a sudden, you know, we've attacked Iran once, we've taken Maduro, we might attack Iran again. Does, does this jive with what he promised the people?

[John Solomon]

He said he was against long wars. Right. The non ending war. And he hasn't gotten us in a long battle and he solved a lot of places where people were in long war. He's still trying to get Ukraine and Russia to the peace. So his record is to try to stop wars. And in all of the military action that he's taken, it's been incredibly precise, limited in nature and all thus far, all entirely successful. Now Iran's a little bit different. They have sleeper cells on our soil. They could activate Hezbollah here. That becomes a real challenge for people. And so, you know, we're not used to having backpack bombs here in the United States, but that's what Hezbollah does for a living. And so I think those are all things that are on the table right now. But I don't think that a military engagement with Iran to decapitate its leadership is going to take more than a few weeks and unleash the Iranian people, make their own destination going forward. That all looks very plausible. And so I don't think this is a 20 year Afghan war or even a 17 year Iraq war. It's a much more limited precision sort of military operation like Maduro. As we were in and out of Maduro in three hours, you know, very.

[Eric Bolling]

Quickly and I know as Pete Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has been pretty quiet, you know, off any sort of interviews right now. That tends to hat tip that he may be in lockdown planning stages, not to leak anything by accident.

[John Solomon]

Yeah, I think that's probably right. I mean if you're the Defense Secretary and you've got this big potential, you got to give the President the optionality for what could be a significant military operation. You're going to lie low and make sure everything is perfect. The way they carried out Maduro was so impressive. There are tools and weapons that Iran has never seen that they'll probably see. If we do do it, they'll be confused, they won't know what to do. And that will show both Iran and also those who've occasionally tried to prop it up, China and Russia. US has got some stuff you ain't seen before. Don't mess with us. And so I think that's a another factor.

[Eric Bolling]

They can always bomb the ports too. I mean you point out that the main industry in Iran is oil. Yeah, they do ship a pipeline. You can take those pipeline installations out and also the ports that they load their VLCCs with with oil on. John, always good to have you. John Solomon, CEO at Energy with just the news. Always good at watch him after the rap show, after Banny comes back on and tells us all about what's going on in dc. Thank you, John.

Free buses, free groceries, free rent. What could possibly go wrong? Well, just about everything. Just six weeks into New York's political experiment, we're already finding out just how bad it can be. Turns out the dog feces now littered across the sidewalks of New York City. More than just a sign of things to come, it's a sign of things that are already there. You really can't make this stuff up. Zoran Mamdani can't tax the rich anymore, so he's taxing every property owner instead. His entire campaign was built on that promise. Taxing the wealthy. But just one little icky, sticky, tricky problem with that though. He doesn't have the power to even do that. Never did from the start. Kamdani Communist Mandani. Kamdani's sales pitch was like a bad 90s late night infomercial. Everything must go. Free buses, free groceries, free rent. Free everything.

[Zoran Mamdani]

I'm Assemblyman Zahran Maldani and I'm running for mayor to freeze the rent for every rent stabilizer 10.

[Jazzy Jasmine Crockett]

Wait, you're gonna freeze my rent?

[Zoran Mamdani]

Yes.

[Eric Bolling]

Did I hear rent freeze?

[Public Podcast Announcer]

Yes.

[Eric Bolling]

This guy's gonna freeze the rent.

[Public Podcast Announcer]

No hike.

[Zoran Mamdani]

None.

[John Solomon]

This guy's gonna freeze the rent.

[Zoran Mamdani]

It's true. As your next mayor, I will freeze your rent.

[Eric Bolling]

Oh, that's right, ladies and gentlemen, step right up. And they's. And thems also. You're welcome too. For today only, the laws of economics are officially canceled. Except that they're not. And reality is one hell of a drug. But New York City bought it hook, line and sinker. And the very expensive tax Bell to boot. Because here we are barely a month and a half into Mayor Zoran Mamdani's grand experiment and he's unveiled a historic record breaking budget to the tune of, get this now. The budget for New York City proposed. $127 billion New York City, the biggest in the city's history, mind you. Here's a little perspective. Population of New York City, eight and a half million people. Mamdani wants $127 billion. Governor DeSantis in Florida, 23 million people. Three times the number of people. $117 billion. 127. 117. Three times as many people. That says everything, folks. And he's dangling two options in New York City from in front of the city. Either Albany taxes the rich or so tax the rich more it's got to go through the state. Or everyone else gets whacked with higher property taxes in the city.

[Zoran Mamdani]

There are two paths to bridge this gap. The first is the most sustainable and the fairest path. This is the path of ending the drain on our city and raising taxes on the richest New Yorkers and the most profitable corporations. The onus for resolving this crisis is, should not be placed on the backs of working and middle class New Yorkers. If we do not fix this structural imbalance and do not heed the calls of New Yorkers to raise taxes on the wealthy, this crisis will not disappear. It will simply return year after year, forcing harder and harsher choices each time. And if we do not go down the first path, the city will be forced down a second more harmful path. Faced with no other choice, the city would have to exercise the only revenue lever fully within our own control. We would have to raise property taxes.

[Eric Bolling]

Sounds an awful like the normies are taking the hit. And don't say you weren't warned, Gotham City. We warned you. We warned you right here. Over and over and over again for months. And how's that piled up snow doing? How's that dog poop everywhere doing? Worst of all, under the jihadist watch, at least 18 people have died because of the cold, awful, awful decision making going on in the city. At a sprinkling of early morning Islamic calls to prayer and you've got exactly what Big Apple voters paid for and voted for. The city is staring down a 12 billion dollar budget gap. 12 billion dollars in Khamdani's proposal. How does any true communist do things? Taxes, raise taxes, raise income taxes, raise property taxes. In this case, they want to raise property taxes by almost 10%, nine and a half percent. That's a hit on homeowners and renters alike. He's also dipping into the city's rainy day reserves.

[Zoran Mamdani]

Would rather do is ensure that they remain as they are so that the city can be on firm financial footing. However, in order to get to this point of closing the gap on both this fiscal year and the next fiscal year, we are forced to raid the rainy day fund, the Retiree Health Benefits Trust reserve, and to increase property taxes across these other years.

[Eric Bolling]

Looks like Florida's northern border may look like our country's southern border under Joe Biden in just a minute. Nearly a whopping 10% property tax bump, the biggest in decades. And it would affect millions of residential and commercial buildings, by the way, in a city already facing a cost of living crisis. 10% by the end of this year. Expect that number to double, by the way, because that ain't going to cut it for them. Well, maybe it'll triple if you have a dog, if you know what I'm talking about. So the original pitch, we'll give you free stuff because we're just going to tax the rich. The new pitch, oops, sorry, can't do that. Albany said no. So guess what? You're going to have to pay the taxes instead. New Yorkers, Mom. Donnie calls all of this transparency and honesty. I call it lying through his teeth to get elected and then socialism to stay in power. Here's a transparency this guy launched a free stuff for everyone campaign and his supplier refused to deliver. Hey New Yorkers, how's that? Buyer's remorse kicking in? Not yet. How much dog poop and dirty snow will you take? How about some more socialism? You'll have to pay for all of this because the guy is bringing all the socialist goodies. The pork barrel has starved, has arrived. Except in this case, more barrel than pork. More, just more taxing, less pork. Kamdani wants billions for services like migrant support. Of course he does. Homeless programs on top of an already stretched too thin social safety net in New York City. All of that on top of all the things he's promised on the camp campaign trail. Don't forget free buses, universal childcare, city run grocery stores. They just opened one. They can't keep it open. Rent controlled apartments. Except again, who's paying for it? Meanwhile, garbage sits, dogs run free. The only thing holding New York City together is nostalgia and hope. The track record already isn't tracking, folks. Are you kidding? New York is the business capital of America. Might even be the global economic powerhouse. When New York sneezes, the economy Catches a cold. Except here's what's up was the business capital of America was a global economic powerhouse. Businesses and big corporations and wealthy people are moving to other states, to Florida and not to New York. This is what we warned about. We warned this exactly. Except it's not dying a slow death. It's basically already dead. New York because louder, louder, louder for the people in the back. Communism doesn't work. You can't govern like this. There's no such thing as a bottomless check. Services, sanitation, safety, stability. That's the core of what it takes. And you know which S word kills all of those? Socialism, democratic or otherwise. Sorry, calm down. But the streets are telling a story. The speeches just didn't. Just remember, when a politician says something is free, it just means you haven't paid for it yet. Nothing's free. Someone always pays. And right now, New York is about to find out exactly who that is. We'll be back. Two and a half minutes.

[Eric Bolling]

All right, time for a little Democrat drama, folks. Should we say so here's a story. Stephen Colbert claimed on the late night show, his show, that CBS's lawyers told him he could not air his scheduled interview with Texas Democrats State Representative James Talarico because of concerns it would violate the new FCC equal time guidance. He also said that he wasn't he was even discouraged from mentioning it on air. Now CBS fully denies that and apparently never told the Late show they couldn't air Tallarico's interview. They just offered legal guidance about how Colbert could and should provide equal airtime to other Democrat candidates who Tellarico is running against, including Jazzy Jasmine Crockett.

[Jazzy Jasmine Crockett]

The federal government did not shut down this segment. Number one, that is my understanding that the federal government did not didn't shut this down. And we will will do an official statement once we get another official statement that we anticipate is going to be coming from Pure House. There may have been advice to just have me on and then they could clear the issue. It was my understanding that someone somewhere decided we just don't want to do that and instead we're going to just do it this way.

[Eric Bolling]

Oh, it turns out Stephen Colbert and James Talarico were lying. So actually looks a lot like Talarico and Colbert seem to have colluded and worked together to push a false narrative. Sounds about right for Dems. After all. Colbert is canceled and he's really fighting with the CBS Ivory Tower, so to speak, on air. And this is really good to watch. That was just a tiny little glimmer of clarity from Jazzy Jasmine Crockett though, where she helped clear up a live coming from Colbert. But we thank you for that, Jasmine. Tip of the hat to you, my dear. But here's what she's really all about. She just cannot help but make everything about herself.

[Jazzy Jasmine Crockett]

I am tired of people asking whether or not I am electable. The reality is that that is nothing but dog whistle. You got a super PAC that's doing your bidding, they need to go ahead and lift you up. What they shouldn't be doing is tearing down a black woman who number one is more qualified. These are just the facts. At the end of the day, I am the only one that has owned a single small business. I am the only one that has actually practiced law both on the state level and the federal level. I am the only one that has been elected to do work on the state level as well as the federal level.

[Eric Bolling]

So it's about race, Jazz. They didn't want Colbert, the liberal progressive Democrat, didn't want to have you on because it was about race. Sure. That was just us. I thought it was just Maga and Trump. Looks like her party may be abandoning her. Could it be? This is fun, too. Whoopi Goldberg and the ladies of the View were forced to confront the truth that Whoopi Goldberg was named in the Epstein files. And by doing so, we're also forced to admit the fact that just being named doesn't necessarily mean you did anything wrong, per se. Watch.

Now, in the name of transparency, can you put up. My name is in the files? Yes. And what does it say? It says, Whoopi needs a plane to get to Monaco. John Lennon's charity. It should say Julian Lennon's charity is paying for it. They don't. They don't want to charter, so they're looking for private owners. Here's the info. And they give all the information, and they're saying, do you want to offer your G2?

And it looks like they said, no, thanks.

Yeah. So in other words, anybody can be on this. Anybody. Well, this is my point, because I'm telling you, when I tell you people are trying to turn me into.

[Jazzy Jasmine Crockett]

I wasn't his girlfriend, they dropped like 300 names. And it's like, flood the zone. Because when you're looking, there are people like Marilyn Monroe, who was dead Elvis. Yeah, a lot of people. Because a lot of the reasons your name can be mentioned are news articles, third party emails, contacts. Again, wealthy, famous people often cross in professional and social circles.

[Eric Bolling]

Ladies of the View, you should talk to the ladies of the View. When they were calling out Trump and they were calling. How about Bannon? How about fuck freaking Bannon? I'm telling you something. We're going to talk about that in a minute at the end of the show. View ladies.

Really?

Okay, let's straight. They just said, just because your name is in the Epstein files doesn't mean you did anything wrong. Hold that thought, Whoopi. Enjoy Behar and the rest of you lunatics more Democrat fund. Why not? Well, here's Philadelphia Mayor Sherrelle Parker having something of a computer glitch when asked what should be a very simple question for a Democrat to answer. What is a sanctuary city anyway?

[Jazzy Jasmine Crockett]

What does the term sanctuary city mean to you?

[Eric Bolling]

Mayor, what I want to tell you about Philadelphia, and this is Extremely important that you, Claudia, various, have been provided an answer to the question that you just asked from our city solicitor, Philadelphia. That means the chief lawyer for the city of Philadelphia, Renee Garcia, is our city solicitor. And what we are, the term we use to describe our city is that we are a welcoming city here.

First of all, the question was, what's a sanctuary city? It's kind of like when Marsha Blackburn asked Katanji Brown Jackson, what's a woman? She couldn't answer, but. She couldn't answer, what a sanctuary. But can, can we just get over this Axe thing? Can we just. Can we talk about this? It's ask a S K, it's English. It's not a ks, it's not a X E ask. What is it? It's not. I'm not being racist or, or bigoted by. Just speak it. If a white guy says ax, I want to call him out, too. Mad dog said accident. 10 minutes ago. I said Mad Dog. Ask, not Axe. Ask the questions, don't ask them. I guess for Democrats, DEI will just never die. They still seem to believe that talent, skills, and experience should matter less than your race when it comes to getting that job. Washington DC's water manager, who just oversaw, is still overseeing the largest sewage sports spill in US history. Sewage into the Potomac, mind you, proves the point that DEI must die. You know, when I arrived at DC Water, this was an organization that looked very similar to our, to our, our industry. It was predominantly, you know, white male at the top, but this was a utility that's, you know, more than 70% people of color work at this utility. And I really believe, and I still believe, and it has been fantastic. The outcomes have been fantastic. But the, the people at the top, the executives, the chiefs in that C suite, they should look like the employees that they, that they serve and that they work with. All right, before I go on Mad, though, can you put the control room camera? Let's put it on. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I called you out. I called you out about that. These guys work so hard. Folks are so good. I had to do it. It was probably a slip of the tongue. I think it was all right. Some things never change. AOC goes to Munich, makes herself a fool answering a question about Taiwan, among other highly embarrassing moments. And CNN, Abby Phillips CNN turns it into a conversation about, you guessed it.

Trump, a flub for aoc. But the question is also what happens when the president, the actual president of the United States, does very similar things on the world stage? So Look, I'll give you that ASC probably should have been more ready for that question, but are we going to really pretend that the actual president of the United States has not made similar, or perhaps worse flubs on the global state? Bad answers, bad answers. What do you think should happen to Donald Trump? Well, as a result of his bad AOC word salad? What about when Donald Trump in 2024 said, I think Taiwan should pay us for. For defense for you, John? Hey, I'm just asking for you all to apply the same.

[Brian Glenn]

I think he makes mistakes all the time.

[Eric Bolling]

Just like I cracked up at Joe Biden when he made sure this. First of all, Abby Phillips, I'm just asking the questions. Way to go. Second of all, you really want to put Trump's IQ up against aoc? You really want to do that, Abby Phillips, because unbelievable. I would love to see the debate that would be. That would make the Joe Biden debate look like kindergarten. I would love to see that. Finally, Insurrectionist Mark Kelly ran over to the BBC to engage in more of his high level Trump derangement syndrome antics, pushing the same tired Democrat trope, but this time stopping short of telling our armed forces to stop obeying orders.

[Public Podcast Announcer]

I think he was a horrible and failed president in his first term. He has exceeded. Yeah, and then he got reelected as a convicted felon, by the way. And I think he has exceeded all expectations about how bad he can be in a second term.

[Eric Bolling]

Certainly for me, I think that guy's 15 minutes is up. All right, folks. Today, just five months since we launched the Edge. I knew this would be an important show. I just felt that performance, motivation, all the things we need to become bigger, better, stronger people in our workplace, in our relationships, just feeling better about ourselves. That that secret sauce right there. That's the Edge and you've responded. Look at these view totals just on that screen right along right there.

All right. There the boys, the boys and the gals. Girls, gals. There they are. There's the team. Very, very, very talented staff right there. Amanda, we got some voicemails.

Yes, we do.

This is John from Wisconsin. Thoughts about on Pride Flag.

John from Wisconsin, what do you think of this? That disgusting American pig Schumer wants that disgusting flag to have the same federal protection as the American flag. Can we get any worse than that? Oh, wait a minute. There's always tomorrow.

You know, you make a great point. When he When John called and left that voicemail, I looked it up. Sure enough, Schumer is proposing legislation that protects the gay pride flag with equal protections as the US Flag. I mean, how many tens of thousands of Americans have died protecting that flag for the principles that that flag represents? I'll never forget. I'll never forget. You want to talk about what the difference between a conservative and progressive is or a liberal is? When Joe Biden had that event on the White House lawn, it may have been Easter. I don't remember what the event was. An event on the on the north lawn of the White House, which is the backside of it, and along there, so it's just like a balcony. Along there's. There's US Flags. And you never, never, never use the US Flag as a flanking to another flag anywhere. If there's a president in the room, let alone the White House. On the White House, he had Gay pride flag in the middle and US Flags, Old Glory on the sides of the gate. That is there. There's flag etiquette. I mean, it's not suggested. It's really it. We don't mess around with that. Stop. Stop with the gay pride flag, guys. There's no reason they represent 1% of the population. Trans do. Maybe 10, maybe 12%. All stop. Just stop. Too many people have died protecting that flag. Sorry, I got worked up. Mad Dog. We have a. We have a pair. We have to do both of these. Not together, but roll the first one.

[John Solomon]

All right.

[Eric Bolling]

Hi, Eric. This is Lynn from Newcastle, Pennsylvania. Hey, on Newsmax, on the ticker at the bottom of the screen, it says, Bannon close to Epstein back Trump removal. And I was wondering if the guys from your show. I don't know if you could. Steve hasn't addressed that. And of course, they have his name on the paperwork that came out of the Epstein files. And I just wonder why nobody's addressing that from your show. And I wondered if maybe you would, because people who are, you know, fans of yours and fans, Steve Bannon, we'd like to know what's going on. Thank you.

All right, Lynn.

Here.

I'm gonna do this first. First of all, stop watching Newsmax. You're gonna. You're. You're. Your mind will melt. They censor every single voice on that network. It all comes from one. They were pro Ukraine. They were pro vaccine. Stop watching Newsmax. I left there because I told them, stop censoring my show. They said they wouldn't. I left on my own. They offered me a contract. I ripped open, said, no. Goodbye, Newsmax. Stop watching. They're awful. Second of all, running Bannon's name in the bond, that's not conservative. That's not protecting one of ours. Bannon was a filmmaker before he was ever in politics. He was a documentary filmmaker. Bannon was making a film about Jeffrey Epstein. Now, let's talk about people who say, just because you're mentioned in a list doesn't mean you did anything wrong. Shall we? Let's roll the next voicemail.

Eric, did you know that Whoopi Goldberg denies ties to Jeffrey Epstein? Whoopi Goldberg's name was mentioned in The Epstein files because she was asking to use his plane to go to a charity event in 2013 at Monaco and insisted it doesn't mean she's guilty of any wrongdoing. So it's fine for her to ask to take his plane to go to a charity event in Monaco. Nothing wrong. Trump flies on his plane and he's a pedophile. Go figure.

Yeah, And Trump, he's a pedophile and Steve Bannon is. They're raking him through the muck because he did a. He did 50 hours of taping a documentary, which was going to be very valuable at some point. You can't blame Bannon for wanting. It'd be like blaming someone doing an interview with a high profile, I don't know, murderer on NBC. You can't do that. It was a documentary he was working on. And let me just tell you something else about Alan Dershowitz coming on the show saying Clinton did nothing wrong just because he flew on the plane. It's a different story. Clinton just didn't fly on the plane. We have video of Clinton in hot tubs with young girls and Ghislaine Maxwell. We have Clinton doing really, really weird things. So don't compare Bannon and Clinton and certainly Whoopi. Don't trash Ban if you did it yourself, too. Mad Dog. We got one more. Yes, sir. This is a viewer has an idea how to get the voice out.

Bowling for dollars. Hey there, Eric. You have some of the best clips, best shows, but unfortunately, the public doesn't see it. You know, Trump. Trump should purchase CBS or something so every night these disgusting pigs can cringe that much more while they watch real tv.

You know, this is an interesting concept. I don't think Trump is going to want to purchase cbs. But Barry Weiss, who was. She used to work for the New York Times. She was kind of centrist. Then she started the Free Press, who did very well. She became. I think she became right of center. I'm kind of right here. Or conservative. She's running CBS News right now, which is very interesting because a lot of changes are happening. You see, Colbert's finished. You know, Anderson Cooper is going to no longer be part of 60 Minutes. Change is happening at CBS, but it can't happen too fast because I worked at a Sinclair where they had 200 stations. Vastly liberal news directors at the stations. Even if the bosses were conservative, the news directors at the stations were very liberal. You can't. You can't force it on too fast. They'll all run and you won't have anyone turning the lights on and turning lights off. So watch cbs. I think it will lead the way. They see what Fox is doing with conservative audience. They're growing it. And maybe they've realized that three networks, three broadcast networks splitting the liberal vote or the liberal eyeball pie was too much and they're going to give Fox a run for its money. And they might. Because remember, broadcast network's free. A lot different than paying for cable. All right? And by the way, gotta watch Rav. Screw all the rest of it. Don't watch Newsmax. Warham's coming up next, folks. Have a great night. We'll see you back here tomorrow.
