[Eric Bolling]

This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.

[Brian Glenn]

Ding. A link Bristol Myers Squibb. Oh, a drug maker. They're doing very well. Haven't they been doing very well since COVID I think they're probably still doing very well. Not sure they're already listed. I'm not sure why they're there. Good day today in the markets. Well, most of them at least dial up 305-S-P up 58, NASDAQ up 300. And this is all in anticipation of. In just a couple of minutes, Nvidia, the big chip maker will release earnings and everyone's expecting a very positive number. So you see all those equity numbers jump up. Gold holding its own up $30 announced $5200 an ounce. By the way, silver I just saw silver's back to $90 an ounce of silver. Oil down just a touch. Like to see that a lot lower. And bitcoin was very interesting overnight. Got as low as 62500 last night. Late last night. Just took out 69000 on the upside. So it's kind of range bound between 62 and 70. See if it can break out on the upside to 70. It should run at some point because all of all the people who are nervous Nellies who are selling have probably sold now. And now they'll watch it go right back up going, dang, I wish I was still on it. And they buy more, pushes it higher. That's how these things work, folks. All right, let's talk Medicare just for a minute 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, simply because that's where those folks, those agents get the money from. That's where they get their admissions from. But seniors are paying the price. That's what makes chapter different. Chapter walks 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 call for your own family or your own self health needs. Donna said her chapter advisor walked her through every single option, explained everything in a way she'd actually understand. Plus they saved her thousands of dollars. If you're on Medicare or will be soon, call 84 Med Help M E D H E L P 843 Med Help to learn more about enrollment options 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. You heard that right. Most People wish they called sooner. Okay, folks, remember way back when last week when they were claiming that no one ever called President Trump racist?

[Eric Bolling]

Where or when does the president believe

[Brian Glenn]

he's been falsely called racist?

[Eric Bolling]

You're kidding, right? I will pull you plethora of examples.

[Brian Glenn]

She's 100% right. And this week, Well, that was Rashida Tlaib saying KKK as Republicans champ usa. Let's just see that again, shall we? Look closely. How horrible is that woman? How horrible is that woman? Looks a lot like Congresswoman inferring that the president and Republicans are racist in aligned with the kkk. How about one more time just look closely? Didn't make it up. They really just can't help themselves.

[Eric Bolling]

What did you think about that moment when the president was asking Democrats to stand up for American citizens during that

[Brian Glenn]

part of the speech when he was talking about immigration and immigration enforcement efforts?

[Eric Bolling]

I think you can agree with the what, like standing up for American citizens, but I disagree with the how. And so it's always about how do we bring our. Our country together but not stand on the backs of others. There's thinly veiled racist language, anti immigrant language in what he was asking. And that was. That was uncomfortable.

[Brian Glenn]

Not anti immigrant. It's anti illegal immigrant. Lady, get it straight. Some things never change. You know what else never changes? The Democrat party's illus or delusions or Kamala Harris's delusions of grandeur. Somehow Kamala Harris has inherited the Hillary Clinton disease of. Maybe they'll forget just how much I suck in a year or two.

[Michelle Bachmann]

Okay.

[Eric Bolling]

Will you run again? I haven't decided. You're still thinking about it. I might,

[Michelle Bachmann]

yeah.

[Eric Bolling]

That's what I've been saying. That's what I. I closed the book. And I'm like, oh, she wants to. She's just thinking about it. About it, if that was my impression.

[Brian Glenn]

Interesting. Hey, Google, has Kamala Harris ever called the president, President Trump? The F word?

Let me ask you tonight, do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?

[Eric Bolling]

Yes, I do. Yes, I do.

[Brian Glenn]

Well, yeah, we all know why Kamala's dad was a Marxist. And they've just won political play when opponents get in their way. Here's a dandy little video from 1964. Kind of lays it all out. The communists developed the third phase of

their blueprint for world domination.

Neutralize the opposition.

[Michelle Bachmann]

We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses, hate,

[Brian Glenn]

revulsion and scorn toward those who disagree with us. A Communist party directive issued in 1943 reads, Members and front organizations must continually

[Michelle Bachmann]

embarrass, discredit, and degrade our critics.

[Brian Glenn]

When obstructionists become too irritating, label them as fascist or Nazi or anti Semitic.

[Michelle Bachmann]

Constantly associate those who oppose us with those names which already have a bad smell.

[Brian Glenn]

The association will, after enough repetition, become fact in the public mind. Yeah, it's really interesting. Did you hear what they said? They said, when they get in the way, label them as fascists. A communist said, here's how we bring communism, spread communism around the world. So when democracy loving people get in their way, label those people as fascists. Going on right now. And at the end of last week, it felt like all Democrats got the same memo. After making repeated comparisons that have been, shall we say, historical in a very specific 1930s direction they really wanted Americans to believe. Well, it never happened. I haven't suggested that Donald Trump is Hitler.

I wouldn't.

[Eric Bolling]

I don't think any Democrat has. I actually. And I. And I think it's a. It's a smear that they project back on to critics.

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, no, okay. Nicole Wallace used to work for Bush is why I can't stand Bushy. She's the exact reason why they were never conservative. Nicole Wallace and J.B. pritzker from Illinois. Nope. No one ever compared anything to anyone wearing a suspiciously familiar mustache. What you heard, you didn't hear that, folks, because Nicole Wallace and Pritzker said, never happened. We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic.

That's what happened in Germany, 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that you've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court

[Eric Bolling]

orders and this rogue Department of Justice going out to do the bidding of this Timu Hitler. I don't even know what to call him. I've called him so many things, but this wannabe Hitler for sure. Trump actually reenacting the Madison Square garden rally in 1939. That neo Nazis, fascists, innoc.

[Brian Glenn]

America never happened, hon. Nicole Wallace, you dope. Never happened anywhere. And when CBS hack Ed o' Keefe insinuated that no one ever called the president racist, well, that was quickly disproven with receipts, as always.

I'm Don Lemon. The President of the United States is racist. He is a tried and true, like, died in the wool racist.

I know what Mr. Trump is. He's a racist.

[Eric Bolling]

What Trump has always been was a rich, malevolent, really racist man.

[Brian Glenn]

We now have a president of the United States who is a racist.

Do you believe President Trump is a racist?

[Eric Bolling]

Yeah.

[Arian White]

Yeah.

[Brian Glenn]

No question. Donald Trump Wasn't.

I think he's a racist. He is a racist.

[Eric Bolling]

The President is a racist. Racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist.

[Brian Glenn]

Never happens. Right? Selective amnesia. Nice way to put it. Well, they're straight up lying now because all of a sudden they're being told that no one ever called Donald Trump a racist. All of a sudden we're being told nobody compared him to fascists. And nobody invoked 1930s Germany. Really, nobody.

[Eric Bolling]

So when we say Donald Trump is a fascist, fascism, a huge component of fascism is uniting racism, bigotry, a form of racist nationalism. I mean, they are not only looking the other way when he says fascist things like round people up and put them in camps and mass deportation and round up all of his enemies and arrest them, they just shrug their shoulders and say, there's nothing wrong with it. So the Republicans who are still on Team Trump are apparently fascist enablers.

[Brian Glenn]

Trump is not a normal candidate. And I think it's not a stretch

[Steve Bannon]

to call Donald Trump a fascist right now.

[Brian Glenn]

The question is, are Republican members of Congress going not only to roll over to Donald Trump's will, but to roll over our democracy and allow him to take over this country as a fascist dictator? I can guarantee you, and you don't

want to deal with that, you are on the wrong side of history because

this president is authoritarian and he is a fascist.

We can do this all day. We got plenty of time if you want. Because anyone with eyes and ears know that for years the left and their cronies have sounded less like C Span and more like the History Channel during World War II. A marathon. Listen, we know that politics has always used overheated language rhetoric, right? Andrew Jackson was called a tyrant. Lincoln was called a dictator for trying to end slavery. FDR was compared to kings. George W. Bush compared to emperors. Obama was called a socialist, a communist, a divider. Oh, wait, those are actually true. Sorry. Anyway, it's the playbook, right? But in the last decade, the rhetoric has gone from loud to apocalyptic. Not just bad policy and wrong direction, not even just dangerous precedent. Democrats made the leap from that right to the end of the republic, capital H, history. But at some point it stops persuading anyone you overuse the term. Because when everything is Hitler, then nothing is Hitler, and eventually voters get sick and tired of living in a permanent state of DEF CON 1. Eventually the repeated mantra gets tiring. When is the time to sound the alarm? When is the time to start saying, well, does this look like Germany in 1932? This is not a reach. I could go back and talk about Nazi Germany. And I do it. I do it without any concerns whatsoever. And if people can't start drawing the parallels, well, you're just stupid. Or you have your head in the sand or you're one of them. You know, it's one thing to have an opinion, heighten the rhetoric, but then to outright lie, like you, Nicole Wallace MSNBC or CNN, I guess it's MSNBC. And like you, Joe and Mika Scarborough, both of you, all three of you claim to be Republicans. Joe, you were Republican congressman, I think, in Florida, right? Rhino, listen, you want to be political hacks, be all, by all means, just go ahead and do it on your stupid little channel. But you want to be freaking liars, you got to stop doing that. It's not very becoming. It certainly isn't helping any of your audience, which, by the way, is dwindling faster. We're glad to take it right here. All right, folks, let's do this. Let's talk a little bit about the Edge, if you don't mind. Let's jump here. Look at this graphic. This is what's going on on the Edge right now as we speak. Our episodes are showing 100.

All right, folks, our next guest was the United States congresswoman representing Minnesota's 6th district from 2007 until 2015. She's the founding member of the Congressional Tea Party Caucus and ran for president in 2012. She's now focused on preparing the next generation of government leaders as the dean of the Robertson School of Government at Regent University. Happy to have Michele Bachmann with us. Thank you for joining us, Michelle. I'll call you Congresswoman because I was there. Let's tell the folks very quickly 2011, you pointed out in the break. I flew from Fox from New York to Iowa to announce something very important. What do we announce right there, that moment, Michelle?

[Eric Bolling]

Well, I was running for President of the United States, the first Republican woman ever to do so. And to be in the presidential debate debates, it was a thrill to do it.

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah. And you, you're great. You're awesome. I was just thrilled to be able to, to bring that to the, to the people for the first time. So can we do this? Let's just, let's talk a little bit about last night with, with what went on between Elon Omar, the representative from the, I believe it's the fifth congressional district in, in Minnesota, Minneapolis specifically where 19 up to $19 billion or more has been missing, is still missing and, and the disrespect that she was throwing at President Trump while he was talking. You know, he was stated, it's his State of the Union, elections have consequences. He won. It's his State of the Union. So your thoughts on the disrespect that she and Elon Omar and others showed to the president?

[Eric Bolling]

What you saw last night is Ilan Omar. That's who she is. She's a very arrogant, disrespectful person, as is Rashida Tlaib, who represents a district in Michigan. And both of them, they will tell you themselves, Talib represents Gazans. She represents what she calls Palestinians, Gazans. That's her first priority. But also Ilhan Omar will say the same thing even here in Minnesota, that she represents Somalia, that that's. That's her priority. She represents Somalis and Somalia. And it's absolute, absolutely true. Because a lot of people have heard about this egregious fraud coming out of Minnesota. People haven't even heard the half of it. They just heard the opening salvo. It's at minimum, it's a floor of 19 billion that Somalis have stolen. They've only been in Minnesota since the beginning of the 1990s. Bill Clinton brought the Somalis here after he had absolutely terrible military debacle in Mogadishu. If you remember, Somalis shot out of the sky, too, two US Helicopters, and they killed and then dragged through the streets of Mogadishu, 18 U.S. marines. So Bill Clinton's big idea to that is, well, Somalis hate us. Let's make them love us. Let's bring them to America and show them how great we are. So he brought them to America, and Minnesota is the number one welfare state. So they came to Minnesota, and they have been thieving out of Minnesota programs ever since to the point of this is how bad it is. And your viewers may not know this, they steal so much money that literally every week traveling through the Minneapolis airport is several million dollars in cash on carry on bags. So they would run them through the security machines like we run our bags through. And then TSA would flag it because it's a bag full of cash. They'd show their paperwork that they declared that they have over 10,000 in cash. And mysteriously, no one ever asked a question. In one year alone about 10 years ago, the FBI said that they had taken $100 million through the Minneapolis St. Paul Airport. That's never stopped. That's continued. And the Minneapolis St. Paul Airport is run by all Democrat appointees together with the Democrat mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul. So this fraud has been going on for years. As a matter of fact, the Minnesota taxpayer sends more money to Somalia every year than the entire GDP of Somalia. So we taxpayers support that country. But the sick news is there's no real government in Somalia. It's run by Al Shabaab, an Al Qaeda affiliate. So our Minnesota tax money and yours, because it's been federal money too that the Somalis stole, that money has gone straight into the bank accounts of Al Shabaab, the Al Qaeda affiliate. That's just a beginning of the story of the fraud going on here. And the arrogant Ilhan Omar thinks that that should continue, that she's delivering for Somalia because she doesn't care about us. She hates us, she hates America. She's all about Somalia and building up the Al Qaeda affiliate there because Somalia is one of the most corrupt, poorest countries in the world. They're also one of the highest terror states. So our US State Department lists Somalia as a level four. In other words, don't travel there. So that's the, that Ilhan Omar is representing, not Minnesotans. She's representing Somalia and Al Shabaab and the terrorists that are in that country.

[Brian Glenn]

And she said that, she said as much as you point out. She said, I represent the people of Somalia. And folks, it's true. There is no formal government in Somalia. And that's why you're as a, as a boater, you're told not to go near the coastline of Somalia. It's just you're, you're asking for to be pirated.

[Eric Bolling]

It's just so right, it's warlords, it's warlords, warlords.

[Brian Glenn]

And they bring that and they export that to the state of Minnesota, the city of Minneapolis. And it just blows me away that this, this woman, Elon Omar was defending care the Council on American Islamic Relations when they were unindebted coconspirator of 9, 11 and still has the guts to do. And by the way, Michelle, she entered Congress with no money in her bank account, literally $43 I think they said, and now is worth $30 million. About six years later, I think she

[Eric Bolling]

actually was negative 65,000 because she owned school loans and all the rest. So she was in debt into Congress. And you're right, in one year's time, her wealth increased over $30 million. So thank God President Trump has the Treasury Secretary Besant on that case to try and track down where this money came from because they've already proved that the so called winery that her husband had is A fraud. There is no winery at that address. Just like there weren't any legitimate daycares at the daycare addresses in Minneapolis. Same thing.

[Brian Glenn]

Five million came from that winery. Five million from that winery. That there is no. They can't find a winery, let alone one that earns most of our losing money. A $5 million profit. It's incredible what. What they're up to. I can't wait till we pull at those strings on the sweater. Michelle, before we let you go, do you have plans to go back into elected office?

[Eric Bolling]

Well, not today. Right now, I'm focused. As you said, Eric, I'm training up the next generation of government leaders because one thing I saw when I was privileged enough to serve in the United States, con. There are a lot of people in D.C. with very high credentials, and not all of them, but many of them don't have a basic understanding even of the United States Constitution or of limited government or what that means. A lot of them don't have a great understanding of the reality of Israel and the fact that Israel is actually more of a friend to us than we are to them. And so that's what concerned me, is I wanted to make sure. So we launched a PhD program in government. We have undergrad, master's, PhD, but we also launched an Israel Institute because I wanted the next generation to be prepared to know something, to know the truth. And I. I'm. There's a reason that they'll go into strong positions of government.

[Brian Glenn]

I have a bit of a motive to ask you that, because I'm just sitting here thinking. I've known you a long time. You're a great. You're a great congresswoman. You know, Minnesota needs a good. Needs a good governor. I know. We have Rice White who's running. I saw. Personally, I think Pete Hegseth might do it. He. He. I think he should try. If neither, fantastic would be fantastic. But so would you if you ever thought about it. Man, this is really not a bad time. Everything you just laid out regarding Elon Omar, Tim Walls actually is probably part of this cabal as well. And Keith Ellison, the Attorney General, boy, you have so much knowledge that you would be a wonderful replacement to Tim Walls. Just throwing it out there, Michelle. Always good to have you on. We'd love to get you back real soon if that's all right. Right.

[Eric Bolling]

We will. Will do. Thanks again, Eric.

[Brian Glenn]

All right. Good to see you. Michelle Bachman, everyone. All right, folks, we'll be back. Two and a half minutes. All right, let's bring in our Next guest, the RAV chief White House correspondent, Brian Glenn. Brian, I think it was billed as America to 50 affordability, etc. Etc. I would say it was probably Trump's best, certainly best State of the Union, maybe one of his best appearances on any stage. What are your initial thoughts on it?

You know, my, my biggest takeaway was this is exactly what the American people needed to hear and see. Not only did he recap the first year and all the fiscal economic policies that have really reversed the trend that this country was going in under the Biden administration, lowering inflation, getting everything to affordable levels, but it also showed, Eric, just the disconnect that the Democrat Party has right now with the American people when they cannot simply stand up on the very fundamentals that you should, when you're sworn into office, want to uphold. They couldn't even do that. And as we all watched it unfold, President Trump and his wisdom just let it play out. And he knew the Democrat would fall into that basically would reveal themselves as. I don't think they love this country, Eric.

Yeah, it was a trap. He set them a trap. And they stepped. It was a bear trap. And they stepped right. Those bears stepped right in. I think he used the gallery better than I've ever seen. Maybe any president used the gallery. In fact, this one kind of hit home for me. Young, little, young girl, five years old, who was hit by a truck that was being operated by an illegal who couldn't speak English. And she's had to relearn how to even walk. Some of the basic things her father this morning I saw on Fox saying she doesn't know what tastes good, what doesn't taste good, because her brain is still recovering. Take a look at this moment, if you don't mind. You have a sound bite of this, guys, or is that just vo? Okay, so this is the moment right here. Trump calls him out, points out that that's a cdl, a commercial driver's license, which you can get in any state. And apparently in states like, like California, Brian, where we've seen this happen several times, you only have to learn. You don't even have to know how to speak English or read English to pass a CDL license. That's dangerous.

Yeah, it is. And I've talked to President Trump about this very subject in the Oval Office. There is a truck driving school in California. Many in that state that have a lot of immigrants, not just from Mexico, but a lot from India and on the Far east that come over get their driver's truck, driver's license and then hit the American highways. And it's a big risk to everyone. And that was just one of the moments that really touched me as well. And you saw when she gave her dad a kiss and that, that moment that everyone should be able to relate with. And of course, Republicans showed a lot of respect. But to see the Democrats act the way they did, even in a moment like, like that, it's indescribable.

Yeah. And he kept, he kept calling him out, you guys can't stand for this. You can't even stand for this. What's wrong with you? I think they had to stand for this one because they, they had to, they. None of them would get reelected if they didn't. US Hockey team, let's play a little vio of that. That was pretty amazing to, to turn that around that fast. That game was won on Sunday morning and by Tuesday night they reparteed at 11 in Miami, a nightclub all night. Nightclub. And then get them, get their butts to, to the Capitol to get inside that chair. Pretty impressive. Tell us it was impressive.

Yeah. And I think you laid it out perfectly in the open. He really used the chamber wisely. He had Congressional Medal of Honors recipients there, war heroes there, ones that have lost a loved one. We had the National Guardsman, the female officer that was shot and killed just blocks from where I stand right now. He used, and I say use that. He wanted to highlight the service that people have given this country. And he did it in such a tasteful way. And of course, bringing the hockey players down and showing, giving them some love and having some fun with them as well. I think it was appropriate given the nature that we just had a very successful US Olympics in terms of gold medals and just winning. And I think the overall, I saw some, some sound this morning, some, some of the takeaways that people had. And Eric, it was positive. They, they like the fact that we are winning. We have mo. We have momentum going into the midterms. And quite frankly, Eric, I don't know what the Democrats are running on right now. It's just. We hate Trump. Stop Trump. No plans. No, no, you know, economic, you know, any kind of plan to rebuttal anything that Trump's doing.

Their plan is to see if they're

not going to work, see if they

can get illegals the right to vote. This is the only thing that's going to save their, their butts at this point. You know, it's, it was pretty shocking. I believe almost two hours, which is quite a long time. Did he change the trajectory of anything. There's, there's a group of maga that's getting a little, let's call Ojideville, get a little nervous about where, where are the blocks? I mean, that is an undercurrent and a lot of people are saying it's going to cost Republicans, cost us in the midterms. Did anything change, you think, last night with that?

Yeah, maybe, maybe. I'm with you on that. He went about 90 minutes before he even got into any kind of a foreign policy. And that's when he touched upon the situation in the Middle East. That's when he brought that up and talked about the war in Ukraine. Didn't talk about any accountability as far as election fraud, talked about the fake election, but didn't talk about accountability. I think there's a, like you see, like you said, there's a large portion of large as to say a somewhat sizable portion of the base that wants accountability. They know that the economically he's turned it around. He knows that, that things are going the right direction, but they still look back and go, well, what about this? We want accountability. We didn't hear that last night. Not to say that it won't happen, but I think the Republicans are really focused on just making sure they get the message out that the economy, it's back, it's going in the right direction.

Final thought, Brian. Rashida Tlaib and Elon Omar are sitting together. Noteworthy that Elon Omar is yelling the whole time, screaming every time Trump talked about the shenanigans that the Somalians have pulled off in Minnesota, which is going to cost all of us, not just people from Minnesota. So she's yelling back and forth. And you know, at one point they cut to Rashida Tlaib, who had a button that said F. The rest of the word there, the whole word F ice. Pretty shocking inside the chamber, I would say. Your thoughts? Yeah.

Well, I'm not surprised. That's how Democrats behave, especially on the floor of the House. We see what they do just outside the Capitol. They had a little rally going on. Maybe 50 people showed up to that. They were screaming and hollering, dropping F bombs as well. It doesn't surprise me, Eric. Unfortunately, that is the state of the Democrat Party. You would think that someone with an ounce of dignity and class and that incivility would, would rise above all of this and take the leadership. But for whatever reason, the tail is wagging the dog. And unfortunately, what you saw last night from Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib is the pure definition of the Democrat Party right now.

Yeah, man. I saw her this morning on CNN saying she did nothing wrong. Would not apologize for the outburst. And I'm old enough to remember Joe Wilson yelling, you lied to President Obama. When Obama said, you can keep your doctor with Obamacare, he said, you lie. And the left went apoplectic. Their minds were blown that someone would be so rude as to say something like, you lied to the president. Let's go read back what Elon Omar and Rashida Tlaib were saying to our president right now, those same hypocrite Democrats. Brian, appreciate your time. Thank you. And stay warm, my friend, in a chilly D.C. thank you, Brian.

Yeah, thanks, Eric.

All right, folks, we'll be back. Two and a half minutes. All right, let's do this. Let's do it. Take a look at this graphic very quickly because we'll get to very, very important guests. Very important guest standing by that graphic right there. At 1.5 million five months, folks. Edge has been around for five months. 1.5 million views. 60,000 watch hours. So far, 11500 subscribers were called elite level channel growth by YouTube analytics themselves. I will also point out that the last two episodes, 400, 000 each, are more than Newsmax and News Nation shows any given hour. Combine them together and the Edge episode kicks their booty. So I want you part of it. Look at this one very quickly. You can see who it's going to be. It's going to be. Jillian Michaels is coming up next. There she is. Right there. But right there. And then also the last one. I just want you to subscribe. Here's why. The bigger we get, the bigger our voices. The bigger our voices, the farther YouTube pushes us out. It's a weird thing. You got to get big before they like you enough to push you further. We want to get this voice out there. I want you part of this. Eric Bowling the Edge. Go there. Just search it either on Google or within YouTube. Eric Bowling the Edge. And subscribe. Once you're part of that subscription, we get bigger and we push it out. I'm asking you, please do it. Thank you for watching Rev all the time. Thank you for watching bowling at 4 o'. Clock and thank you for subscribing to the Edge. All right, where is Doge when you need him? Instead of attending the State of the Union last night, dozens of Democrats decided to literally do what they figuratively do, each do each and every single day. Act like a clown show.

[Eric Bolling]

And tonight, I defy Trump and his Authoritarian project by standing in joyful, radical, peaceful resistance with the Portland Frog Brigade.

[Brian Glenn]

Portland Frog Brigade. And they got people up there in frog costumes. Oh, you want more cringe than that? Than that? Inflatable dancing frogs. Well, we can actually beat that, believe it or not. Courtesy of the Democrat Party, the people's State of the Union last night.

Okay.

[Eric Bolling]

I think I did okay. You did amazing.

[Brian Glenn]

The dogs are bark. Hear the dogs barking? They were so out of tune. In case you missed it, that was joyless Joy Reed, race baiting extraordinaire. Are Americans supposed to relate to this garbage? Singing and inflatable amphibians? Oh, we want more cringe. Don't worry, Dems have you covered.

[Arian White]

Once again, I'm fresh out of an ICE prison in Minneapolis. I've been arrested three times by ICE over absurdity, over us being ourselves, over me singing songs like, hey, Mr. Tangerine man, get rid of brown people for me. I'm Arian White. There ain't no place I'm going to.

[Brian Glenn]

I got mad dog. Re Rack that. I gotta see this again. This guy's serious. I remember he goes on to say he's arrested in Portland too. He's a professional protester. But really, is this what you call serious? I mean, we should. Republicans should use this in the midterm elections. You want to vote for these clowns one more time? Play that, please.

[Arian White]

I'm fresh out of an ice prison in Minneapolis. I've been arrested three times by ICE over absurdity, over us being ourselves, over me singing songs. Song's like, hey, Mr. Tangerine man, get rid of brown people for me. I'm Arian White. There ain't no place I'm going to.

[Brian Glenn]

So he says he sang that racist song, but then he got arrested by ice. Why? Because it was too. I mean, these people are absolutely lunatics. You wouldn't even believe me if there were no video right to back it

[Arian White]

up, would you, Pumpkin Spice? Satan is making his way to the State of the Union. So you know what we're gonna do? We're gonna rev up the show right now. We're giving out prizes. We're gonna have bingo. We're gonna storm the White House with love and compassion.

[Brian Glenn]

I can't believe actually serious about this. From cringe moments to amazing moments. Like when that slime ball senator, Chris Murphy, got what he deserved last night. Watches to explain the trials and tribulations that every immigrant, that every refugee goes through to get here and to press this country.

[Arian White]

I stuck in the border. Go Trump. Go Trump.

[Brian Glenn]

Hey, Murphy. Thanks, man. Thanks, buddy. They're serious. That's their serious people. State of the Union. Suddenly, things that have happened for decades at the State of the Union are deemed to be, quote, game show type moments to the likes of CNN's Abby Phillip itself.

[Eric Bolling]

But he utilized almost like these game show type moments where you're seeing awards being presented to really bring these moments of togetherness that otherwise might not have been.

[Brian Glenn]

How about Elon Omar yelling, listen to the folks at Ms. Now. It's like they're allergic to just being patriotic and loving. This country can't handle the fact that America won the gold medal in ice hockey at the Olympics and that the country and the president honored them for it.

[Eric Bolling]

No one is against USA and our athletes and our Olympic athletes. They should not be used as political props though, and frankly allow themselves to be used as political proposals. And I think that is the. That is going to be the question and the discussion going forward. It is very clear why the President did this. What is unclear to me is why the men's hockey team allowed themselves to be utilized in this particular class.

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, how about being proud of this country? How about having finally having an athletic team say they're proud to be part of America, not kneeling for the national anthem, wearing the flag when they win, instead of what goes on in, I don't know, the NFL and the NBA? In one of the more disgusting displays by the Democrats who hate decency, morality and this country in a moment that should lose them every single election moving forward, Democrats showed their true evil and disgusting colors when they refused to stand up after President Trump called for justice for Irina Zarutsky, the young Ukrainian refugee who was murdered, stabbed on camera by someone who had been a repeat offender and let out of jail way too many times.

[Michelle Bachmann]

Times. Mrs. Zka, tonight I promise you we will ensure justice for your magnificent daughter, Irina. How do you not stand? How do you not stand? I'm asking this Congress to pass tough legislation to ensure that violent and dangerous repeat offenders are put behind bars and importantly that they stay there.

[Brian Glenn]

Really, really, really. Displaying her usual America hating banana republic behavior, Ilan Omar showed her usual, usual classless form, making us wonder yet again why in the hell this woman still holds a congressional office.

[Michelle Bachmann]

You should be ashamed of yourself not standing up. You should be ashamed of yourself. That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties for public officials who block the removal of criminal aliens in many cases. Cases. Drug lords, murderers all over our country. They're blocking the removal of these people out of our country. And you should be ashamed of yourself.

[Brian Glenn]

All right, how about one more quick one. Take a look. Wolf Blitzer. She wanted to. I watched this on CNN this morning. I said, we got to cut this at least. Maybe she's going to apologize.

[Michelle Bachmann]

But watch.

[Brian Glenn]

The House Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffries advised your caucus, the Democratic members, to either skip the State of the Union address or sit there in silence. Should you have just boycotted the address? And do you think you violated the guidelines set out by your own leader?

[Eric Bolling]

No, I think it was really unavoidable.

[Brian Glenn]

Do you have any regrets at all about the interaction we played between you and President Trump just last night?

I do not.

With hindsight, Congresswoman, do you think you would have been better off boycotting the speech like so many other Democrats went

on three or four more times? He gave her a chance to just apologize or explain herself. She couldn't do it. What in the hell are you thinking? Minnesota's 5th district state of Minnesota. What do you think he. Do you want that as your representative? We'll be back. Two and a half minutes. Special guest. All right, you've been waiting a long time for this one. The next guest, the host of the War Room, the great Stephen K. Bannon. Steve, before we get into your overall thoughts on the State of the Union, let's just go back and help us understand what this.

[Steve Bannon]

Hang on. I just, I, I got a glimpse of this last night because we did the show, I think, to Bo Davidson, took over about 11, 11 or 30 or something. And then this morning we were going through and breaking out President Trump's parts. I just glancing. Can you play that again? I thought the Pepes. Did the Pepes take over the, did the Friends come up and the Pepes took over the counter? Can I see that again?

[Brian Glenn]

Let's play that one.

[Eric Bolling]

And tonight, I defy Trump and his authoritarian project by standing in joyful, radical, peaceful resistance with the Portland Frog Brigade.

[Brian Glenn]

That's their, that's their serious people's response.

[Steve Bannon]

I thought we're back in 2015 or 14. I thought that's the Pepe. I expect Cernovich to get on stage. They should sue for intellectual property theft because that's the Pepes. Never heard of this.

[Brian Glenn]

What?

[Steve Bannon]

Internet. I think that's what they're taking over.

[Brian Glenn]

I think they're going for that. That whole, you know, MAGA is white nationalist, bigoted, racist. I think they were going for that. I'm guessing, because I really don't understand the giraffe dude. They say they failed. What was the giraffe dude?

[Steve Bannon]

That's what they were going for. They failed.

[Brian Glenn]

Steve, listen to the words of the song he's singing. They don't. They can't even put a script together with a. With a piece of sound. Listen, okay.

[Arian White]

I'm fresh out of an ice prison in Minneapolis. I've been arrested three times by ice. Over absurdity, over us being ourselves, elves. Over me singing songs like, hey, Mr. Tangerine man, get rid of brown people for me. I'm Arian White. There ain't no place I'm going to.

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, I, I'm a little lost here. Can you break it down? I mean, you're. You're a political genius. I can't know. No, I can't.

[Steve Bannon]

I can't break all. All I can say is. Omar, President Trump gives the. The greatest. It wasn't even a State of the union speech. It was an event. It's historic moment. He sees the moment. It could have been more serious. He called these guys out for the Marxist.

[Brian Glenn]

They are.

[Steve Bannon]

I've never seen anything like it. And this is what you get on the other side. You got Omar, you got these clowns. We should play this over and over again. This is great. You got the. You got whatever the Portland frog big gate is. You got Joy Ann Reeds freezing on the mall with nine people around her singing some protest songs. It doesn't get better. It shows you they're not serious, but dangerous. And President Trump called it out last night magnificently. But I didn't even get a chance to see this stuff. This is the. It's beyond a clown show. And that's what you want running the country.

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah.

[Steve Bannon]

Is that right?

[Brian Glenn]

There should be the midterm. That should be a midterm commercial. A promo that runs on all networks while Trump was doing this, you know, standing ovations for the hockey team, for people who got almost killed by illegal CDL drivers. And, and, and by the way, the Democrats not standing for those folks. While, While, meanwhile, Democrats are doing the Portland frog brigade and the raspy throated giraffe dude singing some weird songs. I mean, this is just.

[Steve Bannon]

How did they. Eric, how did they walk? You know, Wolf Blitzer sitting there pleading with Omar. Don't you understand? He walked you. He walked you into a trap and then closed it on national tv. Don't you understand that? And she continues to fight. How did they walk into this? They walked into a punch.

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah.

[Steve Bannon]

And President Trump delivered a haymaker. And the whole nation.

[Brian Glenn]

They didn't even catch on his basic question. They didn't catch on. Here's why. We put a little montage together. It's a little long, so we'll make cut out early. But all the times Trump called them out for not standing up, this is amazing. It's amazing. We strung them together and if we don't get to all of them, you can certainly grab that if you want. Guys, roll the montage and we'll try and get a lot of it in.

[Michelle Bachmann]

If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens. Isn't that ashamed? You should be ashamed of yourself not standing up. You should be ashamed of yourself. Last summer, 23 year old Irina was riding home on the train when a deranged monster who had been arrested over a dozen times and was released through no care cash bail stood up and viciously slashed a knife through her neck and body. Mrs. Zaretzka, tonight I promise you we will ensure justice for your magnificent daughter Irina. How do you not stand? How do you not stand? I'm asking this Congress to pass tough legislation to ensure that violent and disruptive dangerous repeat offenders are put behind bars and importantly that they stay there. Nobody stands up. These people are crazy. I'm telling you, they're crazy. Boy, oh boy, we're lucky we have a country with people like this. Democrats are destroying our country, but we've stopped it just in the nick of time.

[Brian Glenn]

We can we. This is longer. We're going to cut out because I wanted to ask you that. So Trump reads the room like nobody, like nobody's business, right? So he sees that they're not standing up. He's getting some applause about them not standing up, calling them out. And then he says these people are crazy. He just nailed them. Put a nail through their coffee right there. He's very good.

[Steve Bannon]

We're just going into our show. Hang on. Tell, tell your producer man. We're going to our show. I'll take the time. Just let's. I want to play it all because it's so powerful. He read the room and he kept baiting them and they kept taking it.

[Brian Glenn]

Can we pick it up?

[Steve Bannon]

Let's. Do you have more? Let's go and play whatever you got.

[Brian Glenn]

Play the rest of that out if you can. Mad dog.

[Michelle Bachmann]

Boy, oh boy, we're lucky we have a country with people like this. Democrats are destroying our country. But we've stopped it just in the nick of time, didn't we? As we ensure that all Americans can profit from a rising stock market. Let's also ensure that millions of members of Congress cannot corruptly profit from using insider information. They stood up for that. I can't believe. I can't believe it. Did Nancy Pelosi stand up? If she's here, doubt it. Pass the Stop Insider Trading act. Isn't that ashamed? You should be ashamed of yourself. Not standing up. You should be ashamed of yourself. That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties for public officials who block. Block the removal of criminal aliens, in many cases, drug lords, murderers all over our country. They're blocking the removal of these people out of our country. And you should be ashamed of yourself.

[Brian Glenn]

So, yeah, amazing. He read the room he played. He kept going with it. And he. That he created, I believe, a moment that they'll use in midterms for it was amazing.

[Steve Bannon]

Well, I think it's Eric. I think it's a moment in history. Have you ever seen the convergence of image and institution and America's best values, heroism, patriotism, summarized by Trump, who was like a conductor of a great org.
