Well, what a difference a day makes. As they say, folks, Dao is down about 600 yesterday. Oh, oh. Up 1200 on the Dow right now. S and p strong with 134point move up. Nasdaq up 500 points. These are really, really, really nice moves. Oil moved up a bit, not much. That's okay. Gold finding a bottom. And this is the interesting one. Last night I was watching the crypto market. I watched bitcoin. Very involved in bitcoin. You know, I've owned it. I'm not going to sell all of it. Play in and out of some of it. I got a base. I'll never sell my gold. I got a base in crypto and I started buying a little more in the 70s. 73, 71, 70. Last night I bought it like 67. It dipped to 60. I was like, oh, this is gonna really, really smack me. Jump back up to 70. So who knows? Like I've said from the beginning, I think this is a meme stock environment right now. The Meme Bros. Ran up a lot of these stocks last year. AMC, GameStop, everything was great. They ran gold and silver up and they got smoked when it went down because commodities are different than stocks. So they lost a lot of money. I think they were just selling out of their crypto positions to pay for their losses in gold and silver. I will take that to my, to my grave. Unless someone proves me wrong. All right, folks. February National Cancer Prevention Awareness Month. Now more than ever, we need to be asking what each of us can do to lower our chances of cancer. And if your loved one is battling cancer, we need to make sure that no stone is left unturned in the effort to stay healthy. That's where the wellness Company comes in. A great, great company. Actual doctors, real prescriptions. You know, the wellness Company, we have their doctors on here all the time, like Dr. Kelly Victory. Peter McCullough was on yesterday talking about this exact topic. And all the time the doctors show up to rav. The wellness company and their doctors are medical professionals. You can trust these folks. The Wellness company is committed to providing safe, low cost alternatives to big pharma. From ivermectin to methylene blue to their fantastic new product shield and so much more shield we talked about with it with McCall yesterday. It's a, it's a cancer. It's a preventative cancer medicine. I won't call it a drug medicine. And so the wellness Company gives you the opportunity to make the promise of the maha Movement a reality for you and your family. This February. Let's take control of our health. Just go to www.twc health voice today and order. That's twc health slash voice and use a promo code voice and get 1010 off. Prepare now. Don't wait. All right, folks, first guest is our own RAV White House correspondent, Mr. Brian Glenn. We have so much to talk about. So much. Can we do the one thing, can we get this out of the way? B, because we're going to talk about census in 2030, election integrity, SAVE act, all those types of things. Venezuela Super Bowl. I just have to get this out of the way. This, this meme, this, this video that Trump posted on Truth was up for 12 minutes. So it's a, it's. Folks may not know this, but it's a long video. And at the very end of it, there's a few minutes of someone had tacked on Barack Obama and Michelle Obama looking like monkeys or looking at apes. And then the song from the Jungle Book is in, is overlaying it. It's, it's, it's racist, it's bad. We get it. But there's always an explanation. What, what do you hear? What do you know? What do you think? I'll tell you what I think. When, when, you know, if you know anything, let us know.
- [03:40]
Brian Glenn
I do think it's an unforced error that out of all this stuff that's in the news cycle right now that the Trump administration has to address, they don't need some type of meme or video to go out in poor taste that paints the administration in a bad light. So let's put that aside now. What happened? I'm assuming, and I don't know this for a fact, and we're hoping to get a little bit more clarification on this, that this was put up by a staffer. And I don't think they clearly knew what the entire video entailed. Like, they didn't know about that part towards the end, as you and I spoke off camera. It starts off great. Election integrity, talking about the election. And it's, it's great. It's all the things that we stand up for. And then it makes a, a wild turn at the end. So I'm hoping that this was not intentionally posted, knowing what it referenced, but we certainly don't need any unfirst errors right now.
- [04:36]
Ben Brash
I will, I'm gonna throw this out there. And this may be a little bit too inside baseball. I agree with you. I think some, a staffer don't know who it is. Probably thought the first part was made sense with what's going on with election integrity investigations, save act, et cetera. And that first part of the video is all about that they sent it over. Maybe he saw it, maybe he didn't, but he certainly didn't see the end of it. There's no way President Trump would post that if he saw the end of it. And, and here's the thought, Dan Scabino has run his social media since 2015. I've known Dan for a long time, one of the quintessential pros in social media. He just got married over the weekend, probably on honeymoon. I think he may be, maybe not. But he's, he's certainly not paying attention to this as much as he might be if he didn't just get married on Sunday, by the way, and also on Saturday. The other big group that Trump uses for social media, X strategies, Alex Bruskowitz, also got married that weekend, probably out of the pocket as well. So I would say the people who are be tasked with making sure some, this unforced air, which I agree with you, didn't happen, were kind of like man down, two man down. Yeah, yeah.
- [05:38]
Brian Glenn
And there's also, they contract out with some meme makers as well. These people put out campaign videos. Most of them are in very poor taste. Like the one that we had last week about, you know, shut the F up had the tag at the very end of it, poor taste, in my opinion. It could be someone from that organization as well that maybe has control of that social media that thought it was a good idea to drop that in there. I think it's reckless at best. But it definitely, they have apologized, I think, for it.
- [06:10]
Ben Brash
So here's the, here's the, here's the, here's the downside of it. Right. It just gives fuel to the left to talk about something other than what, what I know Trump really wants to talk about. He wants to talk about the economy. He wants to talk about middle class affordability in the way it really means, not the way the left has portrayed it under Trump. Affordability is a problem under Trump. Meanwhile, they kept their mouth shut for four years under Biden when affordability was a real problem. Clearly, life is a lot more affordable now. It just takes the, you know, you keep that shiny object over here, you can't get back to the other one that that matters a lot in nine months, in midterms. Final thought on this? Agree.
- [06:45]
Brian Glenn
Absolutely. I mean, we need to get back on track of Making sure that life in America gets back to what we consider normal under the Trump administration. Look, the policies work. We know this and they are working right now. We inherited double digit inflation across the board, every product, service, every industry. So they've come down. So let's just, you know, let's move forward. We don't need this in the midterms. We don't need Democrats running this ad and their campaign saying, well, meanwhile, will we focus on uniting the country? President Trump is running this. We don't need that. And we just gave them a little bit of ammunition for that.
- [07:23]
Ben Brash
The other topic we want to talk a little bit about is the, the census. Now help us through this, Brian. I mean, I know Trump in Bannon wants it too. Trump has been talking about maybe having a, you know, rather than every 10 year, which is 2030 would be the next one, maybe pulling it close closer because we know that the census has been, it's useless, it's basically useless. The way they, they petition, the way they ask the questions right now allows non citizens to be counted as citizens and such and whatnot. What is the latest on what, where do we stand? Will there be a Census prior to 2030? Or, or we have to wait for that. And will they fix the way they develop that? The questionnaire?
- [08:00]
Brian Glenn
Yeah, they need to, they need to fix the questionnaire. Now they're doing it in two cities. They're doing Huntsville, Alabama and in South Carolina as well. And I did a little bit of research and just in Huntsville, depending on what estimates you have, there are between 9,000 and 11,000 illegal immigrants living in Huntsville, Alabama, around 61,000 statewide. So you have a lot of people that are reported in the census. Now there is a bill right now in Congress that Marjorie Taylor Greene last session put in Make American elections safe again. This calls for a new census so we can actually find out how many US Citizens live in this country. And then based upon that, not only do your tax dollars get allocated accordingly, but also congressional seats because this could redraw congressional lines based upon this census. Now do I think it's going to take place before 2030? I don't, but this is at least a good step forward, making sure that we count the people who actually are US Citizens. I don't think it's a racist question at all to ask someone, are you a US Citizen? And based upon that answer determines if your state, your city and your, your government, how much money goes to your, your state or your city in that, in that matter. So I think it's I think it's a very, it's a no brainer. It's like, it's like showing a photo id.
- [09:28]
Ben Brash
Exactly.
- [09:28]
Brian Glenn
This is a no.
- [09:30]
Ben Brash
No brainer. Yeah. You want to buy a pack of cigarettes or beer, you got to show an ID with a picture or you want to get on a plane, it better have. Not only do you have to have an ID, it's got to be one of the more recent IDs, but God forbid you want to make sure you participate in the, in the, in the fabric, the freedom and the, in, you know, the, the continuance of this great country. No, I don't need an idea for that. We'll take anybody. That's absolutely insane topic. I want, it's probably not something we were thinking about, but let's talk a little bit about super bowl and what this weekend. Only because Brian Trump's not going to the super bowl and I, someone asked me about why and I put a quote in one of those left wings newspapers and they said, well, he's not going because the super bowl sports isn't about sports anymore. It's become a political event. And why would Trump go to San Francisco where, yeah, he knows he's going to get, you know, the, the boo crowd's going to come out. It just makes no sense. I mean, I don't blame him for not going. Here's the question. He's not going. But what, what's he, is there, is there something else that might happen? Let me ask you that. I'll tee you up.
- [10:31]
Brian Glenn
Well, you know, it could be a busy weekend and I predicted, and I was wrong that last weekend might be a preemptive strike on Iran considering the amount of military we just moved in that region. And if you, historically those things have happened on the weekend now and President Trump had some very strong language in regards to Iran. So could it happen on super bowl weekend as the world watches the super bowl or maybe they don't. Maybe eyes are on the Middle East. So I don't know. I think if he was in a, in a, if we thought something would happen and he needs to be in a situation where he can watch the world and watch and govern our US Military, the place to do it is not in San Francisco. And I agree if he stepped out on the field or even shown in the press box, that extremely liberal area of Northern California, he would get booed. Sadly, that's the reality of it. But I don't expect anything less than anybody that goes to see a bad bunny halftime show or A Green Day performance. So. But I, I really think that there is a good chance that we could see some type of military action this week.
- [11:44]
Ben Brash
Yeah, I'll tell you what, B. You know, Trump could just say, look, I couldn't make the Super Bowl. Had a little something important on the docket to take care of. Couldn't watch the super bowl in liberal land, liberal wasteland of Northern California, San Francisco, no less. Nancy Pelosi's district. Brian, always good to talk to you. By the way, people will be watching. TP USA is the all American halftime show right here on Rev. Don't forget, I think Kid Rock. Who else we got? It's not gonna be bad Bunny, I'll tell you that. And there won't be any Spanish speaking singers that, that refuse to speak English because they're. Because they hate ice and tell ice to F off. Brian, good to have you.
- [12:23]
Brian Glenn
Yeah, he backtracked it on that too. Oh, by the way, he said you don't have to understand Spanish to see my halftime performance. But does he come out in a dress? Maybe the poly markets have that as well. Eric, will he wear a dress in the halftime performance?
- [12:35]
Ben Brash
Oh, my goodness. What is, what does the NFL come to? I love football, but you can thank.
- [12:41]
Brian Glenn
Jay Z for that. You could think Jay Z. Jay Z's Roc Nation controls the halftime performances. He's had the contract for about eight years now. That's why every halftime performance, in my opinion, is awful. It's awful.
- [12:53]
Ben Brash
Natasha Owens. Maybe Natasha Owens should do a halftime show next year. You know, she is, she, she's. She's going to be on the show later today talking about her latest itunes, soon to be itunes hit. We're going to talk about. Brian, really good to have you. Thank you, my friend. Have a great weekend. Have a great super bowl night. All right, folks, check this out. Last week's episode of the Edge Dark side of Longevity labs this morning, 135,000 views. That's more than a newsmax cable show. Did I say Newsmax? I meant news hacks. Sorry. And guess What? It's not a one off. Our total channel views over 650, 000 views, more than 26000 watch hours, less than five months. And YouTube itself flags those numbers as elite level performance. Doesn't happen by accident. Happens when you stop chasing outrage and start talking about pressure, health, money and power. More importantly, how do you harness those things? Pressure, money, power. That's what the edge is. What we're not though, we're not politics. We're not gimmicks. We're not currently influencers pretending to be experts. Just real conversations with real people, real athletes, real physicians, and real successful men who actually know the terrain. Well, if you want to surface noise. Nah, there's plenty of that out there. If you want clarity under pressure, hit that, that QR code right there with your camera. Yellow line. Press it. Subscribe. Just do it. I'll wait. I'll wait a second. I'll wait. Let's go ahead. Great timing guys. Great timing. Control. That's perfect. Hit subscribe. You want to hear more of that? I love that. I love you guys. Eric. Bowling the edge. YouTube it or Google it and subscribe. We love, love to have you with us. We'll be back.

Eric Bowling
Two and a half minutes.
- [14:52]
Ben Brash
Every couple of months, Europe wakes up, stretches its arms, looks across the Atlantic and says, ah, what are the Americans crying about today? And how do we make them stop? Well, actually, when they're not too busy censoring their own citizens over there, they turn their heads to America right here and think about how to control our voices. I wonder who gave them that idea.
- [15:12]
Brian Glenn
We don't want diversity of fact, by the way. It will require some government, I believe some government regulatory constraints around some of these business models.
- [15:27]
Ben Brash
That's what happens. Some becomes more becomes lot becomes total control. That man is anti American, anti western, blatantly subversive, highly destructive and always heavy, has been, always will be. And of course his version of facts is different from the real version of facts. Depends on what your definition of facts is. And to a leftist, whichever version of facts that supports their agenda is their version of fact. But I do digress. This week France invaded the offices of X, which Elon Musk rightfully referred to as a political attack. Interesting how the French government never raided Twitter when they're actually manipulating the algorithm by mass shadow banning conservative voices all around the world. Now when Musk Maga ally owns and runs the platform, now X, of course the French government terrified about transparency. When Elon Musk took over Twitter Back in 2023, mind you, holding the sink in hand, everything but the sink with the sink, he promised to restore free speech on the platform. That also meant bringing back many of the conservative voices that were removed from Twitter for voicing opinions the communists on the left didn't like or agree with. That spooked a lot of people and corporations which promptly pulled advertising from the platform. Coca Cola, Kellogg, Meta Disney or the turn of return of conservative voices scared away the woke mob of ESG driven BlackRock owned corporations. And Musk's response was legendary. Don't advertise. You don't want them to advertise?
- [16:57]
Eric Bowling
No.
- [16:58]
Ben Brash
What do you mean? If somebody's gonna try to blackmail me.
- [17:03]
Eric Bowling
With advertising, blackmail me with money.
- [17:05]
Ben Brash
Go yourself.
- [17:10]
Eric Bowling
But go yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is.
- [17:17]
Ben Brash
In case you didn't hear it the first time, he said it a little slower for the world. Well, of course, all the corporations came running back bit by bit, but Democrat leadership clearly, clearly didn't give up the fight to perform a little 1984 when it comes to online policing of voices.
- [17:33]
Eric Bowling
They don't like, he has, he has lost his privileges and it should be taken down. And the bottom line is that you can't say that you have one rule for Facebook and you have a different rule for Twitter. The same rule has to apply, which is that there has to be a responsibility that is placed on these social media sites to understand their power. They are directly speaking, speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of oversight or regulation. And that has to stop. We should be, in my view, repealing something called Section 230, which gave, you.
- [18:08]
Natasha Owens
Know, platforms on the Internet immunity because.
- [18:11]
Eric Bowling
They were thought to be just pass throughs, that they shouldn't be judged for.
- [18:15]
Natasha Owens
The content that is posted.
- [18:17]
Eric Bowling
But we now know that that was an overly simple view, that if the platforms, whether it's Facebook or Twitter X or Instagram or TikTok, whatever they are.
- [18:29]
Natasha Owens
If they don't moderate and monitor the.
- [18:32]
Eric Bowling
Content, we lose total control.
- [18:35]
Ben Brash
Anyone else? That voice go right through you, we lose total control, says Hillary. Folks, they mean what they say. They're not mincing words. When the left calls for controlling your voice. She said it. She said the quiet part out loud with that really, really horrible voice of hers. It's why they so easily throw around words like fascist and totalitarian. These people just love to throw stones in glass houses. So it's no wonder then that Europe, the land of globalist and socialist crybabies, also takes issue with the growing populism of the world. Now, let me be clear. I have no love for Europe whatsoever. Meaning I'm not one of those people who thinks, ooh, Europe, land of wine and cobblestones, we got the best of everything right here in America, thank you very much. Europe carries itself like that co worker who keeps reminding everyone, hello, everyone. They studied abroad once and therefore they know the correct way to live and you don't. But somehow the whole continent of Europe seems convinced it's the world's designed hall monitor. Designated. They really do act like they're a level above anyone here in the United States. Culturally, morally, democratically, whatever that means when you're cranking out new censorship laws like their croissants. Spain, over there unveiling a brand new Information Integrity framework, which is code for a committee of bureaucrats deciding which opinions are just a little too spicy for us there. Here is a Spanish youth minister talking about limiting or even banning the platform X in Spain. Know what that does? You know who does that? Little rocket man in North Korea. Know else does that? The Iranian regime just did that to silence protesting voices and opinions. It's great company you're in there, Spain. Congratulations. Meanwhile, France, nodding along in that condescending French tone, remaining the Paris office of X rummaging through servers and desks demanding the policing of opinions, words, thoughts on the X platform that scream democracy to you, not to me. Brussels. Brussels is printing out digital regulations like their money. Digital Services Act, Digital Markets Act, Digital Rights Act. Next up, the digital Americans, please stop posting opinions we don't like. Act. And of course, the big one, the obsession is with American populist voices, especially the ones that come wrapped in red hats. Europe can't stand it. It's amazing. Europe leaders and lecturers, they lecture America about free expression while simultaneously deciding which political parties are allowed to post memes. So now they're launching these shiny new disinformation committees and content safety panels, all of them designed to reach across the ocean and say, excuse me, Silicon Valley, please delete this American man's tweet because it violates Article 42B of the we don't approve of this stuff here in Europe directive. They really think this is somehow enlightened of them. They really think we don't understand what they're up to. Washington must push back against this blatant political attack, as Musk referred to it. It's right. He's right. They may not care about preserving free online expression on the other side of the pond, but we have to show that at least on this side, we protect it at all costs. By the way, it's in our Constitution. We'll be right back. Alrighty. Before we move on, if you're 64 or older, this is important. Every year, too many seniors realize their Medicare plan doesn't cover the doctors they trust. Suddenly you're stuck finding new doctors or overpaying. That's Medicare. You can spend hours researching, doing everything right, and still end up on a plan that cost you thousands and thousands too much, by the way. Chapter Chapter is the only national advisor that compares every Medicare plan. On average, they save people over one $100 a year. One caller, Jill, said her chapter advisor showed her options. She didn't see. You see it on the website? On Medicare's own website, by the way. That's how broken the system is. Chapter is a free resource for our audience and can review all your options in under 20 minutes. If you're on Medicare or will be soon, call the friends over at chapter at 81 4. Chapter 814. C h a P T E R. It's help you can trust. All right. These lefties will protest and protest and protest and protest the opening of a book. I'm telling you, they're not happy until they've stapled some poster board to a wooden stick. It gives them some semblance of purpose in a world that mom and dad and eventually the long arm of government paid for. Once upon a time, liberals posted interesting things, things that really mattered, like wars, sky high inflation and segregation. You know, real issues. Now you've got Starbucks employees marching around protesting uniforms and long work days. Ooh, I got to work more than five hours. Meaning anything over five hours, they're going to protest. So, the Washington Post losing money, years of biased garbage disguises journalism caught up to him. And guess what they that's business, folks. I know that's a foreign concept of people who hate capitalism and free markets, but that's the way it works. In fact, a business, if it's failing, you need to change what you do, right? Sometimes people need to be laid off. And a protest can't change that.
- [24:13]
Eric Bowling
We do. Who makes the Post? Who makes the Post? Who makes the pose? Welcome, Ben Brash.
- [24:26]
Ben Brash
No, you don't make the Post. The owner of the Post makes the Post and pays your salaries. And if you can't afford it anymore, I don't care how much money he has. It's still a business. Still got to be viable. Listen, we're going to stop getting quality content like why birds are racist. Then maybe we should all be protesting this travesty. But in case these snowflakes need to understand why the Washington Post is failing, I'm old enough to remember when the Washington Post called a known terrorist like ISIS leader Al Baghdadi an austere religious scholar. Remember that? Ain't that something? Don't worry. After being slammed for adding warmth and levity to an evil terrorist biography, the Washington Post begrudgingly changed their headline. Democracy Dies in Darkness is their motto. More like Where Democracy Goes to Die I would say if the rumors are true, life about this is about to become a lot more entertaining. If the rumors are true, by the way, the rumors floating around, guess what? Kamala Harris is considering a run for president again because the first two times worked out so well for her. But it does mean that we will get more of the queen of word salads. Madam Vice President, what's going on with Kamala hq?
- [25:38]
Eric Bowling
Well, I'm so glad you asked. I have good news. So Kamala HQ is turning into headquarters and it's where you can go online to get basically the latest of what's going on and also to meet and revisit with some of our great courageous leaders, be they elected leaders, community leaders, civic leaders, faith leaders, young leaders. I'm really excited about it. So stay engaged and I'll see you out there. Thank you.
- [26:03]
Ben Brash
Say leaders again, Commie. Even CNN thinks Kamala's new HQ website is cringe.
- [26:09]
Eric Bowling
By the way, the handle they're using, you can see there, we're zooming in on it at headquarters. Underscore six seven six seven, as the kids used to say. Well, you know, used to say a lot of things. And I think they also used to say that's probably cringe, cringe.
- [26:28]
Ben Brash
By the way, after all the criticism, especially by CNN, Kamala's team quietly changed it from Headquarters 67 to Headquarters 6 8. That'll do it. It's a well known fact that every single president before President Trump has carried out the same kind of deportation operations as we've point many times before. Barack Obama was known at the time as deporter in chief who showed no remorse for doing precisely what Trump is doing right now. Even CNN is pointing that out to mayor of Somalia, Mr. Jacob F. Ice.
- [26:58]
Eric Bowling
Fry is worth noting that during the Obama years, the Hennepin county jail actually had a policy where they let an ICE agent keep an office there and allowed them to talk to immigrants. So the policy has clearly been under a Democratic president. What now the Trump administration is asking for? I mean, big picture, do you think it's good policy for the jails to follow an ICE detainer and hand someone over if they've committed a crime? And again, this only happens after they've served their time, you know, to, for. For whatever crime they may have committed against the people of Minnesota? I mean, look, you're asking all the right questions here.
- [27:41]
Ben Brash
And while I don't have full expertise.
- [27:44]
Brian Glenn
In how the operations at the jail.
- [27:46]
Ben Brash
Are conducted, AKA I can't answer that question because it was a hard One. Where's my softball questions? Lady is supposed to be a liberal left winning media entity. Serious question here. Is there a single far left Democrat who doesn't have some sort of ties to corruption? Most of them do. I guess that's what happens when the left side of the proverbial swamp gets a little bit more power. But Rashida Tlaib, let me say it right. Rashida Talib may have. You'll understand why I said it that way later in the show. May have taken things just a step further. It's possible and I know this will come as a shock to many of you, it's possible that squad member and America hater Talib may have some close ties to dare I say, terrorist organizations.
- [28:29]
Eric Bowling
The 19 page document detailing what it calls our serious ethical and also the those national security concerns. Those concerns are related to Tlaib's alleged affiliations with terrorist groups and documented engagements.
- [28:42]
Brian Glenn
With organizations linked to both Hamas and.
- [28:45]
Eric Bowling
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, both foreign terrorist organizations. The report also suggesting that Talib's rhetoric raises some concerns about potential risks to both the ethical and institutional integrity of the United States.
- [29:02]
Ben Brash
I tell you what, why don't you start doing Elon Omar next. That'd be. That'd be even more fun. Must be fun. Triggering unintelligent people. And the Trump administration is having a field day with that. At a House hearing on the economy. Treasury Secretary Scott by the way, this is a great hearing. Scott Besson handily exposed many Democrats for the absolute hacks that they are simply by just telling the truth as he explains things. Explains things as they say to Maxine Waters. I believe the ranking member does not understand the definition of generalized inflation versus one time price increases. I would also note that housing especially for working Americans. A Wharton study has shown that the mass unfettered immigration adding 10 to 20 million new people demanding housing Congresswoman is what caused a great deal of housing inflation for working Americans. So you and the Biden administration should be ashamed. 10 and 20 million immigrants. Can you look at the housing housing stock of working Americans and can you maintain some level of data? Labor's time has expired. Can you shut up. You make me look bad. This guy's Democrat Party's ideal candidate. His name is Tony Thurmond. He's running to replace Gavin Newsom. And and he wants everyone to know that if he wins he's really going to try hard to be even worse for California than Gavin is.
- [30:26]
Eric Bowling
And when I am governor I will.
- [30:28]
Brian Glenn
Restore universal health care for all including undocumented immigrants in the state of California because we know that health care is a right. We will abolish ice.
- [30:38]
Ben Brash
We will create a pathway to citizenship.
- [30:40]
Brian Glenn
And right now I have legislation that puts a tax on any single company.

In California that does business with ICE and ICE detention centers, tax control sensor California communism. Finally, as the spell of frigid coal continues in New York City, tens of thousands of New Yorkers are without heat heading into what they're expecting to be the coldest days yet. And it reminds me of the words Mayor Zoran Mandani uttered at his inauguration in January.
- [31:12]
Brian Glenn
We will replace the frigidity of rugged.
- [31:15]
Ben Brash
Individualism with the warmth of collectivism. So how's that collectivism? You know what Collectivism. It's socialism. It's a. It's a form of communism. It says the state controls everything. The workers work and the bureaucrats. Bureaucrat, right. So they work, they produce stuff and all the proceeds go up to the top and then the top decides how to distribute. Well, when the workers realize that it doesn't make sense for them to work harder because they're working harder than that guy over there, then they work less like he's doing. Production goes down, resources go down and then you'll have stuff to give back to the people who are the workers. It's anti capitalism and they're finding out the hard way in New York. Guy is a slick talker, no question. He reminds me of Barack Obama. Slick talker like you want to hear the guy talk. If you're in the mindset that that be in your realm, it'll be amazing. But they don't say anything that makes sense. They're talking things that are going to take that city down. Almost Obama almost took America down. They still trying. We'll be back two and a half minutes. This time on Law and Border.
- [32:24]
Brian Glenn
We'll head across the country and show you the enemies within who are protesting and riding against ice.
- [32:31]
Eric Bowling
Yeah, they're not messing around.
- [32:32]
Ben Brash
Today the Law and border team starts.
- [32:34]
Brian Glenn
Out in Chicago, Illinois, also known as the Windy City, but is now nothing more than a lawless city because of.
- [32:41]
Ben Brash
Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker. We got some babam energy. And then we'll head to Los Angeles.
- [32:47]
Brian Glenn
As a new wave of campaign season riots kick off nothing gained.
- [32:53]
Eric Bowling
Yeah.
- [32:53]
Brian Glenn
There we'll expose more of the hypocrisy of the radical left as their communities are driven into the ground under their.
- [33:00]
Ben Brash
Virtue, signal and fail policies. These federal law enforcement officers are putting.
- [33:05]
Brian Glenn
Their lives on the line every single day to remove the Criminal illegal aliens that Joe Biden and the Democrats allowed into our country.
- [33:13]
Ben Brash
The communities that are aiding and abetting, protecting them. So we're doing a little something different here. We're moving the voicemail segment up a little bit, make room for Natasha Owens. She's got a brand new song out. Remember her from Somali Walls? We love that song. Got the number two on iTunes. She got a new one that I, I'm gonna guess it's Gonna hit number one on iTunes once we, we start playing it and you start listening to. You're gonna love this song, especially with the timing of what's going on with the Super Bowl. But Ben, we got some voicemails, right?
- [33:54]
Brian Glenn
We do have some voicemails. We have Tony, who's got a question about the new ice body cams.
- [34:00]
Eric Bowling
Hey, Bowling. So, man, Tony from St. Louis, we suck this year. Anyway, here's the deal. So we're spending $20 million on body cameras. Okay, great. How many is this? That by exactly you're the mathematician. Where's the government fraud now? Love your show, bro.
- [34:27]
Ben Brash
I, I, I, it's a public service announcement before you call, maybe like, I don't know, have, have some coffee or something before you go. I don't know, 20 million? I, I mean, I, I, no idea. I think, actually I do think body cams are, are protective of police because I think the left hates police so much that they'll, they'll accuse them and blame them of everything. It's for their own safety, not because they're going to catch them doing something bad. It's so that the lunatic left doesn't keep saying, oh, I was abused, I was beat up by a cop. I think you can't spend enough money on body cams for cops. I don't want to see it on street corners, but for cops. Not a bad idea, Benny.
- [35:05]
Brian Glenn
We have a viewer who wants everyone to watch the Unfit documentary.
- [35:09]
Eric Bowling
Hi, yes, Eric, this is Sandra from Indiana. I am calling on February 6th at 4:30 in the morning. I just watched a documentary called Unfit the Psychological Profile of Donald Trump. I beseech everybody in your listening audience to watch it this weekend. And if you've not heard of it or watched it, I beseech all of you to watch it if you are a Trump supporter because it is very, very disturbing of how the left is portraying President Trump. And watch for certain things that are in it that they are the fake news and the liberals are trying to incite or say that it was all done under President Trump. It is a very compelling Documentary. It was done in 2020 and the people need to watch it. I beseech all of you to watch it. It'll only take you about an hour and a half. It really made my blood boil. Or my blood. Yeah, my blood boil. Thank you.
- [36:25]
Ben Brash
Beseech is to request something urgently. Just so you know. So yeah, I remember this documentary from 2020 and it's not a pro Trump documentary. It just shows how outrageous they. They paint the picture of Trump in 2020. Remember 2020. They're trying to make sure he wasn't a president again. He didn't get reelected. May have worked. I don't know. May have worked. But whatever it did, it made him more potent. Let's put that he's making more potent as a president in 2024 and in the next four years that will ensue have ensued and will ensue. Watch the documentary. It pisses me off beyond because it's not just Trump the documentary. People take shots at Maga America first people. Maga people. I can't get through 10 minutes of it. See if you can let me know. Benny.
- [37:17]
Brian Glenn
We have a viewer saying absentee ballots should be notarized.
- [37:21]
Eric Bowling
Hey, this is Alton Billing. Sleek. I don't know why it's never been put before the House or Senate to for absentee ballots to have to be notarized. That would save a lot of the problems. Just one simple thing. Absentee ballots should be required to be notarized in addition to IDs for present ballots. Thank you.
- [37:49]
Ben Brash
You know, it's a great idea. Notarize the absentee ballot. I don't like absentee ballots, to be honest with you. Don't love it. I think military should have it. You can probably petition for it, but it's just an automatic absentee ballot and not loving that idea. But why not notarize it? You have to prove that. We have to show an ID to get a notary. I agree with you too. Have you have the ID out there. And again I there's a very, very effective way to stop illegals from voting. Just let it be known and perp walk them and throw them out. If you're caught, you're an illegal. You're trying to vote. You're caught, you're going to get deported immediately. Your family's going to deport, will send your stuff behind you and you're never, ever, ever going to get asylum nor citizenship in America. If you do that, you will cut down the incidences. They don't want to get caught, folks. They do not want to get caught telling you it's not a bad idea, but good question there, Benny. What else you got?
- [38:40]
Brian Glenn
All right, so this is from before. You had a bit of a. Or a throwback to before about Rashida Talib. Now, I had to bleep some of.
- [38:47]
Ben Brash
This, but I think it's. Oh, you had to believe it. I didn't think you had to believe it. Okay.
- [38:51]
Brian Glenn
It was pretty emphasized, I think, for safety. But you'll understand when I play it.
- [38:56]
Eric Bowling
Eric, It's Rashida Talib. Remember, pronounce it correctly. Eric. Rashida. Rashida to leave. Okay? Get it right. Eric. Rashida to leave. Have a good day. Bye.
- [39:10]
Ben Brash
By the way, Ben, it only worked because you. You bleeped it perfectly. Because we got the essence without.
- [39:15]
Brian Glenn
It works. Honestly.
- [39:16]
Eric Bowling
No, no, no, no.
- [39:17]
Ben Brash
You didn't hear the word. But you know exactly what I. If you believed it too much you like. I don't get that well done on you, my friend. Well done on you. Got it. And we said it the right way in the earlier block. Go ahead, another one.
- [39:29]
Brian Glenn
All right, so this is a bit of a gauntlet here of viewers asking about what's going on. So I believe this is Robert California. He didn't say so, but we'll. We'll start here.
- [39:38]
Eric Bowling
Here. Hi, Eric. I see you look pretty banged up today. My question is, what does the other guy look like? Probably not too good if I know you. All right, keep. Keep fighting the good fight, slugger. We're pulling for you.
- [39:54]
Ben Brash
So you know the voicemails are hundreds of voicemails asking about what happened yesterday. I'll get to it in a second. And a lot of. A lot of people on the chats, both getter and rumble chat are lighting it up like. That's what the glasses are for, by the way. But go ahead. Let's hear another one.
- [40:08]
Eric Bowling
Hey, Bowling, what's with the patch on your head and the black eyes? Did you run into a angry Karen?
- [40:17]
Ben Brash
Not quite. Another one?
- [40:19]
Eric Bowling
Yeah, Eric, I just watched your program here day. What happened to your face? Did you. Somebody box here or what? I just wanted to know, see if you're gonna be all right, if it's something. Thank you.
- [40:32]
Ben Brash
No, that's not it either, but thank you for your concern. Is there more, Ben?
- [40:36]
Brian Glenn
Yeah, I got one more.
- [40:37]
Ben Brash
Yeah.
- [40:38]
Eric Bowling
Was watching you on TV and wonder what happened to you.
- [40:42]
Ben Brash
Okay. Yesterday. Little basal cell carcinoma up here. Doctor was going to scrape it a little bit. Scrape? It's supposed to be a little bit of bandage, like he said. You won't even see it. And he nicked a forehead artery. He nicked it with his scalpel. I was bleeding everywhere. So he had to do atheists six, 16 stitches. So I got 16 stitches up here. But what happens is little to unbeknownst to me, as they say, when you do forehead surgery and it's more extensive, it swells, but the swelling drops into your face. I had no idea. So you got this. That's why the glasses are here, and that's why it got worse throughout the show yesterday. I'll tell you really quick anecdotal story. I took the train here because I didn't want to drive because my eyes were swelling. I'm on the train, and a lady comes up. Are you Eric Paul? I said, yes. Her and her husband. Like I thought. I watch rap every day. I watch you every day. I said, oh, that's really great. Thank you. I said, apologize for my look. Look on the way into work, apologize for the way I look. She said, I'm an eye doctor. Don't worry about it. You know, you're gonna swell. Blah, blah, blah. Did the show. I got worse throughout the day. If you notice, during the hour. It got worse yesterday on the way home. I swear on my life, the same couple was on the train on the way home.
- [41:52]
Eric Bowling
The.
- [41:52]
Ben Brash
The doctor said, yeah, you're really swelling bad. Take some Sudafed and take some anti inflammatories. Absolutely true story. Thank you for your concern. We're going to be okay. Feel great. Talk to the nurses. Everything's fine. Just got to work it through. Body's got to work its way through. Thank you for your concern on the chats and the voicemails, and thank you, everyone. All right, today we follow up on the success of that longevity lab episode on the Edge with another conversation with my doctor, Dr. Todd. Not the guy who did this. My. My physician. Personal physician. One that might make you uncomfortable with this one, because we're now exposing the dark side of the nutrition labels. You know, nutrition labels shows how much carbs and calories and protein the foods are being sold to you as healthy, balance and nutritious. May be doing the exact opposite of what you think. What you're eating, what you're feeding your kids, what you're trusting because the label sounds right might actually be killing you. That's true. Not in 10 years, but right now. But Doc has a lot of good suggestions.
- [42:49]
Eric Bowling
Apricots would be a good choice. Anything with the word berry, blueberry, raspberry, BlackBerry, you know, whatever those are. Low in sugar, high in fiber, but.
- [42:59]
Brian Glenn
They'Re still, you know, a fruit and they taste great.
- [43:02]
Eric Bowling
Now, if you compare that to something like watermelon, for example, you're definitely getting a lot more sugar. So it's great to eat fruits. They have lots of other benefits, but you can't overdo it.
- [43:12]
Ben Brash
So we dig deep. The episode breaks down. How labels are engineered, how ingredients are disguised, and why the system rewards confusion, not actual health. It's not fear porn, not clickbait. It's information you're supposed to have but probably never got or never knew about. Just hit your phone, your camera on that QR code right there. Hit subscribe. We really want you to be part of this. It's a move. It's getting really big. I got a couple great episodes up now. Going to be another amazing one next week. We'll tell you all about it once you're part of it. Thank you for watching RAV. Thank you for watching RAV bowling at 4 o'. Clock. Thank you for hitting subscribe on YouTube. Use Eric Bowling and the Edge. Hit subscribe. You're part of the group. You're part of the movement. We'll be back, two and a half minutes. All right. This is gonna be fun. This is gonna be fun. You're gonna like it. Folks, you loved my next guest first song, for real America's music, R.a.m. we call it. That song was called the Somali Waltz. Well, I'm guessing you're going to download this next song as soon as you hear. It's called the Boss and it's in response to Bruce Springsteen's ice protest song Streets of Minneapolis. Happy to have back on the show, singer Natasha Owens. Natasha, can we do this? First, let's hear some of your new song, the Boss.
- [44:35]
Natasha Owens
Let's do it.
- [44:42]
Eric Bowling
I dance to Rosalita. I shouted out thunder road. I used to believe you sang for me in those glory days of old. Where is your song for justice? Where is your song for the working man? I was born in the USA and you spill my promised land you preach from your mansion but you don't know the cost I thank God you're not the bar. What about Lake and Riley?
- [45:27]
Ben Brash
All right, Natasha, tell us about this. By the way, you were on last week talking about the Somali waltz and I asked you, you know, what's next? Because this one's great. And this was. This was not even begun yet, has it? Tell us about that.
- [45:39]
Natasha Owens
It was not. It was not on our radar. Thursday, this song dropped. And soon as I heard it, I was so infuriated and so disappointed as a Bruce. Bruce Springsteen fan back in the 80s. And I thought he has it completely opposite. He is. He is, you know, making these people out to be heroes, and they're nothing but a bunch of thugs that are ignoring the rule of law. And what about Lake and Riley? What about the victims of the illegal immigrants that should have never even been here? And, you know, he has. He has kind of trademarked himself in the past, for decades, to be. For the working man, for the forgotten man. And this is not what it's about anymore. It's about ideology. And so we thought we're going to do a rebuttal to his song, and within 24 hours, we had this song written and just about recorded. And here you go. I hope you love it.
- [46:33]
Ben Brash
It's amazing. It's. It's very, very catchy. It's a great song. And. And it's dropped now, right? So folks can actually log on to itunes and purchase a song and listen to it. It's available.
- [46:45]
Natasha Owens
It is available on itunes. The video is available. Get this thing to number one. We really want to show his. His surviving fans, whoever's left in that side, that it's not okay. You know, he. He took away the voice of the people that he's been singing for his entire life. I'm giving that voice back, and it's not okay. That's why we're pushing back.
- [47:06]
Ben Brash
It's great. We'll get a little bit more into. Into the song and your passions about it. You can hit that QR code, too, by the way, folks, if you want to download the song. Right there, the QR code, bottom screen. So, okay, so I'm from Chicago. I couldn't stand Bruce Springsteen because all the east coast people love Bruce Springsteen, and he ends up being a wild, liberal, raving lunatic. So we think you're going to hear from the Boss.
- [47:32]
Natasha Owens
You know, who knows? He may push back. He may ignore me. He's been so petty, and you can see the pettiness. I believe in his song that I think he probably will push back in some form or fashion, but it doesn't matter to me. I get so frustrated sometimes when I hear Hollywood and the elites and they scream for their mansions. And it has nothing to do with them being rich. It has to do with the fact that they have no reality of real life. And the working Americans are living in these communities that have lawlessness and have all this crime and all these murders. And he's just saying that it's okay. And I'm saying it's not.
- [48:13]
Ben Brash
Yeah. And. And they have their security guards or team of security, you know, gunned up. Security guards. But they want to take your. Our guns away as well. You know, I. This past Sunday, Billie Eilish was really anti ice. The whole crew of the Grammys were anti ice. But Billie Eilish, you know, stolen land and this and whatnot. Why are they so liberal? And more importantly, why are the. They're such hypocrites.
- [48:40]
Natasha Owens
They are such hypocrites. And that's what most Americans. I believe that the majority of Americans see right through that crap when it comes to taking our guns and being all fair. They're. They're guarded up to the hill. Don't build the wall. But I'm going to build a wall around my house to keep myself protected. And I just, I don't appreciate it. I don't even watch the Grammys anymore. They're too politicized. And I was very, very upset to see the Supreme Court justice sitting in.
- [49:08]
Ben Brash
There applauding Donji Brown Jacksonji Brown Jackson, who, by the way, couldn't define what. What a woman is. Natasha Owens. The song is the boss, folks. Download the boss right now. Just aim your camera at that QR code on the bottom of the screen right there. Let's get this song to number one again. They had the J6 song number one. You had Somali Waltz number two. Almost got to number one. Let's get this one to number one. This one is a great song. It's, it's, it's well, well produced, by the way. Great job and great job hooking up with real America's music. Get. Turn this thing around because this is really fun music to listen to. Thank you, Natasha.
- [49:46]
Natasha Owens
Thank you so much, Natasha.
- [49:47]
Ben Brash
Points for the halftime show and Super Bowl 61 next year, whatever the number is. Thank you. All right, folks, listen to this. Download that song. Let's do it. Let's get number one.
