Eric Bolling
This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Welcome to bowling. Unreal America's Voice. One year ago today, folks, this happened. Great news. We got Eric Bowling in the house.
Steve Bannon
He joined RAV today, has his own new show.
Eric Bolling
That's right. So I found out in a press release. I was reading the paper, I saw a press release. We're going to be the 4:00 clock show in RAV. I said, oh, okay, got it. That's. That's how it works. But yeah, we're going to 4 o'. Clock. We're going to lead into the 5 o' clock abandoned war room. It's going to be great. And, you know, it's one year now. I wanted to thank Rob Sig and the RAV crew for hosting the bowling show this past year. It's been a wild ride covering Trump 2.0. First year. You know, RAV is pretty damn cool if you're America First MAGA and or pro Trump. I wanted to highlight just some of the strong conservative voices here at rab. One of the main reasons I brought my show here today. I thought it'd be a great idea, a great time to highlight some of my very talented colleagues delivering shows here every single day. We're going to hear from the great group of folks over at TP usa representing the Charlie Kirk show. We'll have the good men of 6B with vin butter there and the crew, his crew. And we'll also have the new guy, a really funny guy, really funny dude named Alex Stein later as well. But first we. We start with the man I call my conservative true north around the office. I call him the original gangster Maga Don, Mr. Steve Bannon. Steve, very much a welcome to you, my friend, if I can. Before we jump into it, I wanted to show folks we go way back. We go back to years of you and Andrew Breitbart, California Radio. Here's seven years ago. Take a look. Well, Steve Bannon, thank you for joining us on our premiere show. This segment's called the Interview because we hold it to the highest standard of interview because, you know, you are.
Steve Bannon
You had to start it here at the Breitbart Embassy. It's on Capitol Hill. So we're starting big league.
Eric Bolling
Big league. And not only that, you flew in from Paris.
Steve Bannon
Paris just got Paris.
Eric Bolling
Well, we started that show, but it goes way, way back before that. But Steve, welcome to the show. It's been a great year. And by the way, that that introduction was from the war room at CPAC, February 20, 2025. Thank you. Steve.
Steve Bannon
Well, hang on. I don't know how we did the war room. We launched your show with Brat, Posobic and Berquam. How the FCC didn't step in right away and shut this thing down. I mean, that's a group of pirates right there.
Eric Bolling
That's a way. Why don't you say that? I call the guys in the control room, the guys and gals, control room. The original gangsters of pirates and maga. But I'm not blowing smoke up your dress at all, Steve. But you were there. Listen, I'm going to do something you may not like. I'm gonna tell the folks what it really is. Steve Bannon right there, folks, is the inventor. He's the guy who came up with America first, which is the Genesis precursor to MAGA. Mr. Trump can take credit for it. He was differently.
Steve Bannon
Yeah, well, we did the Tea Party, but he was President Trump when he came on the scene, really, in 2014. And that's what was amazing about you, that you're the first guy with a major cable show that really so. Because I think you knew Trump personally, but you're the first real voice, you know, in running Breitbart. And then Trump had come to a couple of CPACs, but it was uncertain what his move was going to be. And then in 2014, he went to thein. May of 2014, he shows up in New Hampshire, and I think it was Hanover, New Hampshire, at this gathering of activists. And they had all. Dave Bossi. Put it on. The great Dave Bossi. And they had all the, you know, you've got to get these activists in New Hampshire to kind of sign up with you. And they had everybody there. They had Ted Cruz there. They had Newt Gingrich there. They had, at that time, Rand Paul just had the COVID of Time magazine. So he was on fire. And at that time, it wasn't even Canada, just Donald Trump showed up on a Saturday and gave a speech, and everybody was leaning into it. But, Eric, you knew Andrew well, you knew we were doing it. Breitbart, you were with Andrew before he passed away, and then after I took over, after he passed away. But what was it about Trump that attracted you? Because you were on a network that was really, didn't, you know, was not really in that much into MAGA or America first, when it really became defined of what it was going to be. They had done a lot of Tea Party, but it was kind of trying to capture the Tea Party for the neoliberal neoconservatives. And I know, Ailes was a mentor of yours, very close friend of mine, a great man, but he came from the, you know, he was a power broker and kind of the Republican establishment. What was it about Trump in those early days that got you on board?
Eric Bolling
Well, Steve, so I came on to, to Fox, Fox, we're talking about from cnbc. I was the finance guy over at cnbc, started the show Fast Money. But Roger Ailes pulled me over, said, I want you in politics. You're good on tv. So I you're smart guy, but I want you in politics. I don't know a lot about politics, Roger. I know I like my money. I know I knew conservatism a bit. And this is 26, 2006. And he brought me into the political side. I will tell you, early Fox, you mentioned the Tea Party. They started to cover it and they freaked out. They got in a lot of trouble. At one point, some advertisers were blowing back and they, they abandoned the Tea Party, if you remember, Cavuto, remember this. Lost his mind at one point, said, no more Tea Party. And he was, he was the executive, whatever was present there. So they moved away from it. What was it about Trump? I was a business guy. I didn't know anything about politics. But I realized our nation was being run by politicians who cared about the next election, rather than whether whatever they sold us during this current election was going to help or not. They didn't care anymore. They got the seat. All they cared about is getting reelected. And I saw from a business standpoint, we were headed down a very, very dark road. Growth was shrinking, inflation was strong, unemployment. I was here for stagflation. I was like, we can't continue this and become and stay the greatest nation with the greatest military on the planet. And it was all about the business guy. And you're right, Steve. There's one thing I will take credit for at Fox. I was there first. It wasn't Sean. Sean's a dear friend of my handy. He came. He was Ted Cruz to start. Mark Levin was Ted Cruz to start. It was pretty much, oh, they were
Steve Bannon
Ted Cruz all the way until basically Levin, until Trump won the primary, Hand Ted Cruz bandwagon until really Super Tuesday. This is in 2016, right when Trump won. I want to go back to this Tea Party. I think it's very important for people to know this. The Tea Party started really on Tax Day, April 15th of 2009. This is where the Jim Hoffs, these people, a lot of people in St. Louis had this tax Enough already. Michael Patrick Leahy, I think was 12 of the original founders. And Fox jumped on it right away. And he had Newt Gingrich having live from New York City, the great Lou Dobbs. We did a, with David Webb, we did a huge, a huge rally. But Fox got very nervous, the advertisers got very nervous because they had a very populous tone to it. As you remember, Eric, it went through 2009. I think it was over the holidays and into 2010 that Fox really tapped it down. And what happened is that the grassroots really picked it up that that November the Tea Party won 63 House seats. Now it's off a much lower base. The Republicans were really out of business in the House, you remember, they won 63 seats. And the following day it was like an explosion. People like going, man, this Tea Party is real. They actually delivered. They actually delivered. And I think that's why people that believed in the Tea Party at the time, now they were co opted by the establishment. But you saw the power. It's the first time you really saw the raw political power of the, of the grassroots populist nationalist base. And of course then you were the first guy to really, you know, see Trump in 12, 13, but really 14 when he started to rev up. What was it about him that had you go counter to really what was the Fox Party line?
Eric Bolling
Well, the Fox Party line was rhino Republicanism, establishment Republicanism. It was just wasn't working. It was, I would listen to people like Mitt Romney or Paul Robert Ryan. It just wasn't resonating. I hear Donald Trump talk and people were energized. Here's something different, here's something fresh. And the guy knew how to. He was a billionaire. He was a billionaire. If he can turn his own world into a billion dollar empire, he should would be able to do the same thing for the country. And that's really where it was when he was going to turn things around on the financial side. That's what I knew, that's what my background was. And I realized that we were headed down a dark path of higher inflation, lower employment, lower growth. Growth was the big thing. We were stagnating in growth. And I knew the only way, if you're going to spend like drunken sailors, the only way you bail that out is with growth. And there was nothing that any of these guys were bringing that increased national growth. If I may. Well, I'm going to tell you why this guy right here you're watching right now understands, understood how important this whole idea of nationalism Is and was. Here's again, seven years ago, that same interview. Listen, Nationalism, nationalism has been on the left called racist. Tell me about nationalism. It's one of your, one of your nationalism tenants.
Steve Bannon
Economic nationalism is what pulls us together. Economic nationalism doesn't care about your color, your race, your ethnicity, your gender, your sexual preference. What it cares about is that you're a citizen of the United States of America. If you're a citizen of the United States of America, you're going to get a better deal than the non citizen.
Eric Bolling
Steve, that is the message. It was right in 2007, it was right in 2019 at that clip. And it resonates right now. You, my friend, were at the heartbeat of that.
Steve Bannon
Well, this is what we gotta, I think, make sure we get back to. This is President Trump's tariffs. This is why he's being vilified. This is why we're at the Supreme Court. Let's be blunt. With all the changes President Trump's made, we've actually not had that big an impact on the official establishment of the Republican Party. They really don't support his tariffs. You saw this the other day, where I think six Republicans vote against it. And you can see President Trump comes at things from an economic nationalist point of view. Eric, I want to make sure we can get back to this. I want to make sure when the time we've got allotted. I got to tell the story here. On the first anniversary of your first year with Rav, Eric Bolling was actually our first choice to be Secretary of Commerce, given your understanding of capital market. Trump didn't know politicians and he kind of, quite frankly, doesn't relate to politicians, particularly back then. He likes business guys, he likes deal guys. He likes guys that understand capital markets, how things happen. You were our first pick. I got to tell the story. I'm going to meet the President. We're talking, we're going through candidates and we get to Commerce and he goes, I want bowling. And I text Bollinger, said, you've got to get over here immediately. We got to meet. And Bolling goes, hold it. I'm inherent makeup for the like the five o'.
Eric Bolling
Clock.
Steve Bannon
I said, f the five o' clock show, you're going to be the Secretary of Commerce. Talk to me about that.
Eric Bolling
Exactly true. Didn't see that coming. You know, I told the story before. I used to have Steve's number hidden on my phone called Big Banana, not Bannon. But I knew it, what it was. I didn't think anyone else knew it. It comes in about 230 or so, big banana. I'm like. He said, get over to Trump Tower now. Like Steve, I got a show in two and a half hours in Harem. He's, get over here now. So I rush over to Trump Tower, get called up, you know, and the first thing is I get put in a conference room. Steve Band comes in, he's. Hold on a second. Calls Reince Priebus in, and the two of them sit down and say, we'd love you to be a Secretary of Congress. You're going to be Secretary of Commerce. And, you know, didn't see it coming at all. I didn't know what to do. And I, you know, I love you. I appreciate it, and I love the country. I love Trump. I just. It was a moment where I just wanted to. In hindsight, Steve, in hindsight, I should have been Secretary of Commerce under the Steve Bannon Donald Trump administration.
Steve Bannon
Here's what the difference for the audience, the difference in the second term, and this is why it's providential. We had to spend the four years in the wilderness. And President Trump, you know, he got much more organized on executive orders and everything like that. Is his natural instinct was to get communicators. That communicators should run these big departments that people that could take policy and explain it to the average American is more important than a bureaucrat or some managerial type. The whole second administration, I think the reason things that click with people like Pete Hexa, people like Bobby Kennedy, right? These people are from Tulsi Gabbard. You have fantastic people that understand their departments and can oversee the senior management. But one of their principal things, you see this in the Cabinet meeting. This is why, Bolling, you were actually, and to be brutally frank, after you turned us down, because for logical reasons, we didn't do a lot of that. That first cabinet actually had people that were not great communicators. One of the reasons I think President Trump had a little problem with traction on some of these issues is we had like a Rex Tillerson. Not that Rex was a solid guy and turned out he had some different ideas, but he wasn't. Although he was chairman and CEO of Exxon. As you know, they don't have to go on TV a lot, and they particularly don't have to explain things to the common man. They have to talk to Wall street analysts. They have to talk to people in the industry. You were really Trump's idea of the concept of the Cabinet. He has today that I need people that can explain complex things to the American people as we kind of drive this Trump revolution, sir.
Eric Bolling
All right, well, we'll leave it there. Steve, I love you and appreciate you. And as I said, folks, that's my true north conservative right there. Steve Bannon. Always catch the war room a couple of times a day on Real America's Voice. And every time you watch the War Room, you're going to walk away smarter, I guarantee you that. Steve, thank you so much. Have a great show.
Steve Bannon
Thank you.
Eric Bolling
Great weekend.
Steve Bannon

Eric Bolling
All right, folks, welcome back and continuing this amazing show where we just wanted to show how much really awesome talent is right here at Real America's Voice. Let's continue this with guess what, the folks from the Charlie Kirk show, specifically Andrew Kova. Folks, take a look at this first though.
Nancy Krause
In December of 2025, Turning Point USA hosted an event marketed to high school students with food and beverages advertised as an incentive for attendance. While community building opportunities for students are important, this event raises serious concerns related to student safety, parental rights and governance oversight. Students are widely recognized as vulnerable population. They are in critical developmental stages and especially susceptible to influence. For this reason, safeguarding measures, parental involvement and transparency are essential. All Board of Education members in this room are mandated reporters under state law, as I am. Based on the circumstances surrounding this event, a report was made to Child Protective Services. All of this was provided along with. Thank you for your comments.
Eric Bolling
Well, I would call that a left wing, Karen, to say the very least. That was Maryland activist Nancy Krause who filed a complaint with the Calvert County Board of Education and reported high school students to Child Protective Services because the students established a chapter of TPUSA at their school.
Alex Stein
Ooh.
Eric Bolling
She characterized the formation of this chapter as a form of Abuse warranting CPS to get involved. Here to discuss his host and executive producer of the Charlie Kirk Show, Andrew Kovet. Andrew, again, thank you so much. You're so generous with your very, very busy time, your schedule. I appreciate you, but when I saw that we had to talk to you about that. Shocking, isn't it? Shocking what is going on with this lunatic Nancy Kraus?
Andrew Kova
Yeah, you know, this is a first. In all the years that I've been doing this with Turning Point usa, I can genuinely say we've never been reported to Child Protective Services. But I mean, listen, first thing is she got her facts wrong. Club obviously has security concerns. They don't want to just let any schmo off the street into the club. And so they limited it to adult volunteers and parents of students. So she just had her facts wrong. But it kind of begs the question, why did she have her facts wrong and why did she not check about having her facts wrong? It's because she wanted it to be true. She wanted to be able to criticize conservatives, go after conservative kids and silence conservatives. And so it was just cognitive dissonance. It was confirmation bias and none of it is true at all. And so the kids have done a really stand up job. That's the other part of this story, Eric, that I want everybody to know about. They've handled themselves with such dignity and class. They've just dealt with it. We haven't even had to coach them. They just putting out these statements explaining that this Nancy Krause activist, Karen Gal, is completely wrong and misrepresenting the facts and you know, good for them. And this is the first trial of many that conservative kids will undoubtedly go through when people want to shut our voices down. And so hat tip to them, they've done a great job.
Eric Bolling
And you know, because she made a big thing this Harmony Dillon, the deputy Attorney general is going to quote, unquote, look into it. I'm just blown away, Andrew. I mean, the young guy, his name is Luke Grover, who's a chapter president there, said that their first meeting was November and they talked about how they can help veterans, what they can do to raise awareness about veterans issues and maybe even find some assistance for veterans. How is that dangerous to children? How is that abuse to young people?
Andrew Kova
Well, listen, I mean, you have to go back far a bit further in the leftist ideology to understand this. They want to cut off tradition between parents and their children. That's name number one priority for communists, leftists, whatever, radicals. They don't want those traditions. The bulwark of Christian faith to get in the way of their indoctrination. And so she calls this abuse because they're conservative ideas. They're ideas that she disagrees with. She's obviously a far left activist and she wants to have liberal progressive ideas pumped down into the minds of children. And that's just not gonna happen. Because one thing is we have Club America chapters all over the country. Thousands and thousands of them popping up all over the country. Over 50 new chapters are started every day in this country still. And so what do they do with these chapters, Eric? Yeah, they don't regurgitate liberal slop. No, they do pray around the flagpole day. They do flag days where they hang up flags everywhere around their campus. They go volunteer with veterans groups or elderly groups or they do voter registration drives. They're getting involved in the heartbeat of their community. That's what the Club America chapters do. I mean, it's such a wholesome, good club to be a part of. And it's like, you know, Charlie had the right instinct. They're called Club America chapters, Eric. Club America. How could you not love that? How could you not celebrate that? That you have a bunch of young kids that want to love their country, love their local communities, gather together, bring their parents that can make it, and some volunteers and have a great time and share a great experience with like minded students? It's a great opportunity. This lady's offer rocker. I don't know if she would rather have them at some LGBTQ chess club.
Eric Bolling
That was my, that was my next point, Andrew. My point is, where's her complaint about child abuse when Gavin Newsom is welcome. Young people under the age of consent traveling to California and getting sex change operations against their parents will now that would be considered child abuse. So you don't hear her complain about any of that.
Andrew Kova
No, you're exactly spot on, Eric. I mean, you know, in California, you. You can have your kids taken away from you if you don't get on board with the trans insanity. So that's abuse again. They want to separate a child from their parents because left wingers know that their ideas are terrible and you gotta indoctrinate them young and, you know, because the bulwarks of faith, family, freedom and nation will get in the way of radicalizing young people to the far left cause. And so, yeah, I guess you would think it was abuse if you believe like this Nancy gal believed. And it's just one of the most absurd things ever. I do hope that, you know, listen, she. I don't know anything about this lady, but I do hope that Harmeet Dhillon makes her life a little miserable for a while because you gotta scare other people away from doing this. At the end of the day, it's very clear to me that these people want to separate children from their parents. They want to take your kids away from you. They do not want you to be able as a parent to drive your kid to a Club America meeting. Because those aren't the values of a gal like Nancy. And so it's just hypocrisy all the way around. It's really offensive. But again, our students have handled it admirably and I'm so proud of. Proud of them.
Eric Bolling
You know, there's, there's potentially charges that can be levied because you can't create a false chart, false statement against like report people. Yeah. Can't create a false report. Right. We'll see if that goes. Maybe you can even file a counter lawsuit for frivolous lawsuit or damages, whatever. You don't have to tell us about all that. I do. Only with the last two and a half minutes or so. I have Andrew is, you know, a lot of people. There's theory here. And the reason why Charlie was the target, the reason why Charlie was assassinated. You talk about the number of young chapters of young people between the reach and the young age of. It's so important to get people's minds right early. They get left, the left turns it around, twists it into a knot, makes transgenderism like almost normal. And that's completely wrong. That's unethical. And then they turn America into some sort of hate group. Right? We're all racists if we don't believe their ways. What you guys do is evening the playing field. And that's why Charlie was so dangerous. Not because he was tapping into young people. He was tapping successfully into young people
Andrew Kova
at scale, No, a thousand percent. Charlie, his message got through. And if we think of America as a unbroken chain link between generations, it was like Charlie looked around and saw there was a chain missing. And he personally endeavored to fix that, to make sure that the next generation was getting the promises of American freedom, prosperity and our Constitution passed down and a love of those things. And it's like if you compare that with what the left is offering, and I will tell you, they are leading young people to nowhere good. We have the most depressed, suicidal, anxious, drug addicted generation in American history. And there's a reason for that, because we're telling them they're all victims. We're pumping them full of antidepressants and trans hormones. And look what you're saying. Seeing in Canada with the shooting up there, or you see the shooting that happened at the hockey rink. These ideas are a road to nowhere. Charlie knew that. Turning Point USA knows that. That's why we have these Club America chapters. That's why we have the Turning Point college chapters all across the country. Somebody needs to be pushing back and fighting in the spaces where we're wanted least because that's where the need is greatest. That's what Charlie knew. That's why we go to these campuses. It's the absolute ground zero for the battle for the future of America.
Eric Bolling
You are on the heartbeat. You're tapping into it, Andrea. Charlie did and you're continuing that that mission. Thank you so much. Andrew Colvitt, host and executive producer for the Charlie Yep. Go ahead. Yep.
Andrew Kova
Congratulations on one year. Eric, congratulations.
Eric Bolling
You're doing a great job. It's great to share a network with you. Andrew, appreciate your time. Thank you for coming and help us celebrate one year. Andrew Colvin, everyone. Thank you.
Andrew Kova
God bless you, man.
Eric Bolling

My next guest, like to have a good time on tv. Don't we all. This group covers news, politics, sports and all the stories that make you think what the heck is going on in America. Happy to have Vin Buda. Vin. I can say Vin. I don't have to call you Vince or Vincent, do I?
Steve Bannon
No, no, no. You got it.
Eric Bolling
Vinnie from New York, Damon Roberts. We're gonna get to some New York stuff in a little bit too. The Six host of 6B as well as well as Kevin Downey Jr. Slick. There's a Slick. You guys have a Slick?
Vin Buda
Yeah, we got a Slick.
Eric Bolling
You got, you got a Paul, you got a Delgado and we have Damon. And you've been good to have both of you guys. I'm start with you, Vin. Take a look at this, please. So on Monday, Robert Dort, Oregon I'm saying Robert for a reason. A trans person opened fire at a Rhode island high school hockey rink, killing his ex wife, his adult son, and then turned the gun on himself. What is wrong with people in America then? Trans people make up about less than 1% of the population. Sure. Seems like there's some mental disorder going on. They have an inordinate number, a high rate of mass shootings down to you've
Vin Buda
got a mental disorder and you have the drugs. I mean, think about the amount of drugs that need to go into somebody's system as they transition to male to female or female to male in general, the hormones, all that extra activity that is not healthy for you. Number one two. It kind of looks like there's an underlining mental challenge, mental disease, whatever you want to call. Because there's so many of these things and you can't make sense of them. They seem to be highly irrational things for people who are mentally disturbed and or jacked up on drugs.
Eric Bolling
Damon, I read that he, he had his, he had the surgery, he has his stuff cut off. I mean that alone would kind of mess with, with a dude, wouldn't it?
Damon Roberts
Yeah, I mean Vin kind of said it. The cross sex hormones combined with mental illness is a serious deadly combo. But first of all, can we think of any other tragic shooting like this where the media would so quickly move on from not only a shooting, but it involves a white man with Nazi tattoos. Can anyone think of anything that the media would have moved quicker on than they have in this, in this situation? And like you said, Eric, making up less than 1% of the population, yet these trans Identified young people seemingly. And most of these are increasingly at the center of all of these tragic shootings. And we, the public, continue to get gaslit. We get gaslit by the media, we get gaslit by other people. We continue to see these trans identifying people, mentally ill, killing, murdering non mentally ill people. But we're told over and over again that the real threat is towards trans identifying people, despite them being, like you said, 0.5% of the population. It's just unbelievable. Gaslighting.
Eric Bolling
Yeah. And there's so many things that are going wrong. We're looking at the picture of Robert who wanted to go by Roberta, had things cut off and, and there was a, there's a trans, obviously a Democrat, trans Congressman Sarah McBride. It's a dude who is defending this person saying, you know, look, they get so much, I guess, animosity pointed towards them, they're going to go berserk at times. There it is right there. What are your thoughts of, of, of the defending these people? I mean, there's a mental illness here going on.
Vin Buda
There's also a lot of anger that they seem to have. Unresolved issues, I call it. And I see that a lot with young people. I see it a lot with the liberals who go completely nuts and particularly in the trans community. I feel like there's a lot of unresolved issues and underlying anger that brings a lot of this out. And defending it is not the right thing to do. Treating it is the right thing to do. And the first part in treatment is acknowledging what the problem is here. The drugs, the mental illness and all these other things.
Eric Bolling
Treat it as an illness. I mean, we're supposed to treat it as like, oh, they're being misunderstood and we need to treat them better. No, it's a mental illness. Needs, needs attention. Make sure that you don't need to put people institutionalized who are ready to kill their wife, their adult son and then themselves. By the way, he got the order wrong when he went on the shooting rampage. Damon. Because you get. And folks, part of the reason this, I love this show today, one year in verse is we can highlight the amazing talent that real America's voice has put together. These guys are in New York. These guys tape live in New York, two hours a night. Amazing. Damon, I wanted to bring this up to you guys. Can you roll the sound bite that I didn't prep the guys for? I want to know what's going on in my wonderful city of New York that I lived for 30 years, have gotten out of New York. But what Is this all about. Take a listen. Here is Atlantic. We are hearing is. Come here. I think we take running off the dentist, Damon. I never thought it would happen in the great. The financial. I was called the financial capital certainly of America and probably of the world Call Muslim call to prayer in the streets of New York City. Sir.
Andrew Kova
Yeah.
Damon Roberts
I said this, I think on the election night in New York City that in between Broadway shows now you're going to be tripping over prayer mats on your way from one to the other. And that's exactly what's starting to happen. I mean, what we're seeing in New York is exactly what we should have expected to see given the election of this jihadist. And that's exactly what's going. That's exactly what's going to happen. You see the budget. He's got a budget that's bigger for 8.5 million people in New York City than Governor DeSantis has for the entire state of Florida. So, you know, unlike. Unlike Virginia, where they.
Eric Bolling
They.
Damon Roberts
They pull the. I'm going to. I'm going to be a moderate. And then she gets elected and then she runs, you know, like the cr. Liberal that she is. You know, New York, it was pretty much up front. So none of this really should be too much of a surprise.
Eric Bolling
Yeah. Hey, Vin. And then he's got the. The lunatic who. Who supports him. Mamdani, I'm talking about who said, you know what? No more dogs in households in New York because we don't do that in Muslim countries.
Vin Buda
Yeah, well, that. That is the problem. They're bringing their ideology into governance and their city. It's ridiculous. Well, London. Look at London. When's the last time you've been to London?
Eric Bolling
London is Londanistan.
Vin Buda
Londanistan, absolutely.
Andrew Kova
Minne.
Vin Buda
Detroit, all of these cities being overrun with religious perspective from the Muslims, and they're bringing their sensibilities there. First of all, New York has a great dog community. Most people in there love dogs. They walk dogs. I can't imagine they keep electing people like this.
Eric Bolling
Or dogs. Cops. Dogs are cops. They're military members. We're gonna leave it right there, guys. Don't forget watch. You can catch Damon. Damon Roberts, Vince and the rest of the crew. 6B. Every night on this network, 8 to 10pm Live. And it's a really, really interesting, great show. They kind of copied the 5. I knew a little about the 5. You just need some. You need some. Great.
Vin Buda
I was waiting for that to come up.
Eric Bolling
Attractive. Like, you guys are funny. Like, we were on the fight. It's really good to meet by the first time I met Damon as well. Thank you guys both so much.
Vin Buda
We're the Six.
Eric Bolling
Yeah, the Six. Okay. All right, folks. This week on the Edge we continue something very different in modern media. Real conversations with high performers who understand pressure, discipline in consequence from actions. Athletes, traders, business leaders, builders, not influencers chasing trends or clicks. Men who've operated where results actually mattered. Because in a world full of opinions, experience is becoming rare and discipline becoming even more rare. The Edge is built around one core idea. Preparation over noise. We talk longevity instead of quick fixes, standards instead of excuses, execution instead of motivational speeches. And this week's conversations raises the bar again. Get this, we have Grant Cardone, who started from nothing, spent 10 years as a drug addict. He said he wasted 10 years of his life as a drug addict. Now he manages $5 billion in property. Grant Cardone, one of next level influencers, successful people. He scaled everything from money to influence to his own name and brand. That's this week's episode, so make sure you go to Eric Bowling the Edge on YouTube. There it is right there. You can use your camera. Hit that QR code. Eric Bowling the Edge on YouTube or on Google. Please subscribe. Thank you for watching RAV every day. Thank you for watching bowling on RAV every day and 6P within. And thank you for subscribing to the Edge. We'll be back. Two and a half minutes. All right, folks, let's talk Medicare because a lot of folks aren't getting the full story. Most Medicare agents push Medicare Advantage plans even when they're not right for you. Why? Well, that's where their money is for them. They get paid on that one. But seniors are paying the price. That's what makes chapter different. They walk you through original Medicare, Medigap, Medicare Advantage in part D with the pros and cons all laid out so you can make the right call for your own health needs. Donna said her chapter advisor walked her through every single option and 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 843M MEDHELP to learn about enrollment options and and find ways to save. It's free, it's quick, and they can review your options in under 20 minutes. I said it was free. Did you hear that? Free. Most people wish they'd call sooner. My next guest brings his brand of comedy into courtrooms, out to protests and on the steps of the U.S. capitol. He's new to our RAV family and we're happy to have him on the show. He's the host of After Hours with Alex Stein. Alex, welcome to the show. Before we get to you in one second, let's get into this. You've had a few run ins with our friends friend aoc. You have a special name for her, which she's not too happy about. Let's take a look at my favorite Big Booty Latina.
Alex Stein
I love you, aoc. You're my favorite. She wants to kill babies, but she's still beautiful. You look very beautiful in that dress. You look very sexy. Look at that booty on aoc. That's my favorite Big Booty Latina.
Eric Bolling
She didn't. She didn't. She didn't like that comment. Alex, tell us about your relationship with aoc.
Alex Stein
Well, you know, it's funny in that clip, her fiance Riley was there the whole time, and he's such a soy boy cuck. He didn't even say anything to me. I mean, if somebody was cat calling my girl, I'd probably go punch the guy in the face or at least give him a piece of my mind. And he's not. He's walking her dog. So that kind of shows you who wears the pants in that relationship. It's clearly aoc. And she wasn't wearing pants on those steps. She was wearing a nice little mini skirt. So listen, it's an. It's a cause that's near and dear to my heart. Amnesty for all Big Booty Latina. And you know, I was part of the campaign that helped raise money for AOC's grandmother when her roof collapsed. You know, I was sharing that like crazy. And she didn't even take the money. So I'm out here trying to help the Big Booty Latinas, and she still wants to lie about me and try to demonize me. So she's a liar and a fraud. But she is hot, I'll give her that.
Eric Bolling
Eric. Well, you know, I'm a. I'm an honorary Latino. I don't know if you know that. I've been accepted into the Latino culture and tribe by several Latin American men. Move. Embrace me. Because I love Latin culture. I love the music, I love the food, I love the song, I love the. The wines, of course. Amazing. And I speak Spanish on top of Alex. She didn't like this, though. So you wrote her a love song? Can do we have a piece of that? Guys, do we have some of that? You're so sexy.
Alex Stein
Every insurrection is deserved a felony.
Eric Bolling
Your body could melt the ice caps
Steve Bannon
and your brain will cause the financial to collapse.
Eric Bolling
Your fiance had nothing to say when
Steve Bannon
I said your booty was fine that day.
Eric Bolling
Any indication of AOC has heard your love song? Love quote, Air quotes, song for her?
Alex Stein
Well, honestly, I do think so, you know, because she blocked me on Twitter, so I sued her and we ended up dropping it. We kind of came to a resolution, but she didn't unblock me. But in the lawsuit, that song, she was trying to call me a stalker because I made that song. So she has heard that song. Her attorneys have heard that song. So believe it or not, that has been on her radar. And aoc, at the end of the day, like, we like to make fun of her and tease her, but Eric, this is not a joke. I'm actually a little worried if she gets on a ticket with Gavin. And Gavin Newsom is, you know, terrible for the state of California. But the fact that he wins California all the time, it just shows you that these voters don't even care about results. And so I think that she would actually be a force to be reckoned with. Even though she's an idiot. I really wouldn't underestimate the power that AOC has, especially being a hot, big booty Latina. That definitely helps with a more moderate and, you know, undecided voters of the male vote.
Eric Bolling
You don't think what she did in Germany this last couple of days here where she called Western civilization civilization using air quotes like it's not a thing, or where she thought Venezuela was below the equator. You don't think that blew her chances out of the water?
Alex Stein
No, not at all. Most people don't even know where Venezuela is on a map. Most people don't care, especially her voters. They don't care that, oh, where's Venezuela? They're not worried about that. They barely really know where their state is on a map of America. So you have to realize we're not trying to convince or, you know, win the minds of smart people. She wants the most low IQ voters that vote purely on emotions and that don't actually care about the repercussions of voting for somebody that's so untalented or incompetent. So I think that she plays on the simple minded people and she does a good job of it, especially in the left. They're all on antidepressants, SSRIs. They're all don't even know what a woman is. So she's able to manipulate these feeble minded people. So let's not underestimate her. I really don't think we should in 2028.
Eric Bolling
What. What about Kami Harris and God forbid, Hill shady?
Alex Stein
Well, Kamala Harris is so unlikable that she is with. I think she would get crushed by AOC in a primary. I mean, I mean, Kamala Harris only got her position. Even Joe Biden said it that we need a woman of color. So because of the color of her skin and we still don't really know if she's black. We know that she's kind of Indian, but I don't really know how much evidence there is that she's an actual African American. So when it comes to Kamala Harris, she is just so unpopular, unlikable. That's what separates her and aoc. AOC is an idiot, but there is like a kernel of likability in her. So I'm not worried about Kamala Harris. I actually hope she's a nominee because I think Vance or Rubio would crush her very easily.
Eric Bolling
Hill Shady.
Alex Stein
Hillary, oh my God. But Hillary, I mean, she's not going to be held responsible for going in on these Epstein files. She's one of the most disgusting human beings there are. She's evil. I mean, Norm MacDonald had some of the best jokes. She's got a kill list that started before the 90s and it probably continues today. And then, you know, we really didn't talk about it him. But Eric, there's a bunch of weird connections with Savannah Guthrie's husband worked for a technology company that would go and delete people's embarrassing information off the Internet. And the fact that that company was hired by Hillary Clinton so he knows where all of her dirt is online at least. And you just look at what's happening with Savannah. We don't really know who the the kidnapper is. We're not really getting good information. I'm not saying Hillary did it, but it's just weird that she's always connected by not six degrees of separation. One degree of separation from some of the most heinous murders and crimes like Seth Rich. And the list goes on. So she's actually evil. I wouldn't be surprised if she does some sort of like satanic rituals when she's alone with Bill.
Eric Bolling
It wouldn't shock some of our audience as well. Very quickly before we go, Alex, I keep watching you and I hear this line. Let's get this out of the way right away. I'm one of the sexiest men in conservative politics. I know, you said one of because obviously you were thinking about me when you're said one of. Right.
Alex Stein
Yes, of course. Eric, you are the og. I mean, I would say you, you know, my biological stepfather Tucker's a handsome man. There's a lot of handsome men in this game. And so I wasn't just saying I'm the number one sexy man in conservative politics. I'm just one of many. And it's actually hard to compete because all of us have testosterone. All of us are real men. Don Lemon, he gets to be the hottest gay black guy because there's no gay black guys that even want to, you know, be in the position that he is in. So I think it's actually hard. I'm actually going against people that are handsome and attractive and are real men, not soy boys that are, you know, lib tarted.
Eric Bolling
Well, you are one handsome conservative man, but you're also a funny guy and we really enjoy your show. Thank you. Alex Steinhof, after hours with Alex Stein, Monday through Friday right here, 11pm on RAV. Thank you, Alex.
Alex Stein
Thanks, Eric. Appreciate it.
Eric Bolling
Peace out, guys. We'll be back. Two and a half minutes. We have something very fun for you coming up next. Yeah, They feed you headlines, cut the frame, say it loud enough, call it fact, change the words, dodge the blame, sell the lies and double back.
Announcer
From real America's music, the label that brought you Anthem of the free, the Boss and Somali Waltz comes a brand new anthem built for a distrustful age page Truth Bomb by the Truth Bombers. This song talks about distrust of institutions, media manipulation, government narratives, big tech censorship, cancel culture and ideological silencing. The culture needs a truth bomb and this track delivers pre. Save it now. Scan the QR code or search Truth Bomb. Buy the Truth Bombers. We've broken records before. Let's do it again.
Damon Roberts
Together.
Announcer
Together.
Eric Bolling
Well, I hope you enjoyed the show. Hope you realize what a great full bone of talent that Rav has put together here. Robin Parker, Sig it put some, some great names on this network. And also so I'm gonna tell you, the guys in the control room, best I've worked with. I've worked at Fox, I've worked at News hacks, and I've worked at Sinclair. Best group of technical people, operations guys in the business, bar none, it's been a great year. Before I say that, man, I let them do the final segment with a little montage of thoughts and things we did over the year. Maybe I should have done this after I see this. I haven't seen it yet. I'VE not seen this yet. So here's what they put together.
Andrew Kova
It's the one year anniversary of bowling on Real America's Voice. Today we look back at the moments that made us laugh, the moments that moved us and the powerful conversations that made us proud to stand with Eric Bolling every step of the way.
Eric Bolling
We got great news. We got Eric Bolling in the house.
Steve Bannon
He joined RAB today, has his own new show.
Eric Bolling
I found out in a press release. I was reading the paper, I saw a press release. We're gonna be the four o' clock show and rap. I said, oh, okay, got, that's, that's how it works. But yeah, we're gonna 4 o' clock and we're gonna lead into the 5 o' clock abandoned war room. It's gonna be great. We have a lot to talk about today. Real America's Voice chief White House correspondent, a like superstar in the media world. Brian Glenn, Trump calls on you all the time. Are they jealous? Are people jealous? What's, what's going on?
Steve Bannon
I think he's a great guy.
Eric Bolling
By the way, there's also some very bitter people here that just do not want to see media outlets like ourselves be pushed to the front of the line. Border crossings are down 94%. We haven't even built a wall yet.
Steve Bannon
The Democrats invited the most evil people on the planet. There's a meeting in the White House
Vin Buda
of the leader of the free world.
Steve Bannon
And Donald Trump is also going to be there.
Eric Bolling
Democrats are a stain on this cross country and we don't know everything that Elon Musk has done as it may relate to the election. We're back to election denialism again, aren't you Democrats? Democrats can't clap for a kid with cancer, but they can wave the hell out of Ukrainian flags. That is your new Democrat party. I don't think I've seen Steve Bannon throw it around the way you did. You were going, let's go to.
Steve Bannon
Let's go to.
Eric Bolling
Wow. Let's go to the Capitol. Let's go to Brian Glenn. Let's go.
Steve Bannon
Everybody was a gun last night.
Eric Bolling
RAVS is a real deal, man. Give you the show, Steve. Take it away. And I just love these handoffs. They're amazing. Good talking to you again, my spirit animal, folks.
Steve Bannon
Always good, Eric.
Eric Bolling
Love you, brother.
Steve Bannon
You look very handsome in your suit. And I think we may have color coordinated.
Eric Bolling
President Trump is set to deliver the most important speech of his young second term. The President of the United States. There's a lot of groundswell of Support around conservatism and speech, especially America First Trump Maga Maha. The environment's electric.
Steve Bannon
We saved the greatest country in the history of the world.
Damon Roberts
Welcome aboard the real American's voice. We are stronger and better with you here.
Eric Bolling
You've done a great job. The first week is in both of them. Justin Trudeau never knows when to stop talking. We will not back down from a fight. All right, soy boy. Canada will fight back. Canada? Are you kidding me? We don't need your maple syrup. Lower your tariffs. We will too, and you'll survive. If not, all bets are off. I'm a big fan of you, Eric Bolan.
Steve Bannon
You're a fair broker and you're a friend.
Alex Stein
And I'm happy to be on your show.
Eric Bolling
Epstein this, Epstein that. Where are you on this and what are your thoughts? The left should shut the F up about it. They're only trafficking in it because it's bad for Trump.
Damon Roberts
I don't believe there's anything in the
Eric Bolling
files that show that he's a kitty toucher. People around the President made false promises
Damon Roberts
about what Epstein was about, and now
Eric Bolling
he's having to pay the price for that allegiance to these people.
John Rich
My life got taken from me overnight. Me being a fighter. I was going to get up every time I wrote the White house. Starting in 2018, I would write the White House every Sunday. And somehow how my letter got to Alice Marie Johnson. She took it to Brook R. And Brook R said, I want the whole file on this case. She took it to the President and she said he came back and said he's going home. I'm always give my Lord and savior, Jesus Christ all the praise and glory because without him, I wouldn't be here.
Eric Bolling
We're going out on two buses. Two trend Laragua members, one for murder. They're going to deport both of these people. Law enforcement is here, present. This is what we vote for. Two different officers, seven different law enforcement agencies. This is legit. We're vested up. This could get crazy. The assassination attempt on Charlie Kirk. I'm going to look at our. Our fearless leader, Rob Sig, who is pacing back and forth to give us. Give us. Tell us he's passed. Am I hearing this? Control room.
Damon Roberts
It's right.
Eric Bolling
It's.
Damon Roberts
It's Solomon.
Eric Bolling
Put it up. It's on just the news. They're reporting. John Solomon's reporting on just the news that he's. He's passed. Yes. Is this what I'm hearing? Yes. Can I get here? Yes, yes, yes. How do you coexist with literally half the population. Some of them are radical enough to rather see you dead than express your own opinions about the country.
Nancy Krause
Mr.
Eric Bolling
Bowling, it's great to see you here.
Nancy Krause
He's of real America's Voice.
Eric Bolling
He's also the host of Edge, his interview and commentary podcast. Please, Eric, why don't you kick us off back on the show? My good friend, John Rich. Really, really, really, really good to have you.
Alex Stein
I appreciate it, sir. Thanks for having me on.
Eric Bolling
My good friend, Kid Rock. I've known Kid Rock, international circumstances. Superstar rocker.
Steve Bannon
Thanks, Eric.
John Rich
In the Man.
Eric Bolling
As someone who holds one of the MAGA torches, I hope you're being honest with us because we would like to have people like you.
Alex Stein
I know exactly where the bodies are buried.
Nancy Krause
I'm revealing all that in the coming months.
Eric Bolling
Well, quite. Quite a year. Oh, my. Oh, my goodness. No idea. Look at this, folks. Look at this. Look at this.
Vin Buda
This.
Eric Bolling
Oh, my goodness. Rob. Rob Sig. Thank you. It's been a great year.
Andrew Kova

Eric Bolling
They said it wouldn't last.
Alex Stein
Look at. Look at us now. Wait till the next year.
Eric Bolling
Oh, 20. Buckle up. It's going to be a wild ride. Trish. Look at the guys in here too, everyone. Come on, Kyle. Come on. Get in here, buddy. It's been quite a year, folks. And guess what? 26 is going to be another amazing year. We keep going, Rob. That's it. We're going to keep built something amazing.
Alex Stein
Got something exciting coming too. Oh, be on the watch.
Eric Bolling
Is this a tease? A deep tease.
Alex Stein
Next time we have you to cpac,
Eric Bolling
you're going to read a new press release.
Alex Stein
Excellent.
Eric Bolling
Every. There's Parker. There he is. There he is. The man, the myth, the legend. Parker Sig as well. Thank you, folks. Thank you. Oh, yeah. Make a wish.
Andrew Kova
There it is.
Eric Bolling
Awesome. Thank you. Love you guys. Been a great year. See you you Monday. This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.
This special anniversary episode of “Bolling!” with Eric Bolling on Real America’s Voice (RAV) celebrates the show’s first year on the network. The episode spotlights RAV’s collection of prominent conservative voices, reflecting on the network’s growth and its commitment to “America First” principles. Bolling features interviews and conversations with Steve Bannon, Andrew Kova (Charlie Kirk Show), Vin Buda and Damon Roberts (6B), and comedian Alex Stein, among others, focusing on current events, conservative messaging, and the evolving political/cultural landscape.
Discussion Points:
This landmark episode of “Bolling!” serves as both a retrospective and a vision statement: celebrating the RAV community and its alternative-conservative perspective while addressing pressing issues—ranging from populism and nationalism, campus activism, mental health/violence, demographic change, and disruptive comedy in politics. The tone, as always, is brash, combative, and deeply plugged into the “America First” narrative, complete with humor and moments of camaraderie among the hosts and contributors. The episode previews another year of hard-charging commentary from Eric Bolling and the RAV team.
