Real America’s Voice: Bolling! – January 14, 2026

Main Theme

This episode of Bolling! is a rapid-fire mix of news, political analysis, and guest commentary. Host Eric Bolling covers hot-button issues around immigration enforcement, law enforcement “rhetoric,” financial markets (especially gold and crypto), U.S. foreign policy in Iran and Latin America, and the debate over transgender participation in women’s sports. The voices of law enforcement, finance, and foreign affairs weigh in, with the tone often combative and highly critical of progressive politicians and mainstream narratives.

1. State of the Markets and Economic Snapshot

[00:10–01:55]

• Eric Bolling opens with a market summary: slight stock market declines, with the Nasdaq leading losses; oil nearly flat; gold continuing a strong run ($44,640/oz); and Bitcoin staying strong above $90,000.
• Noted that the crypto rally appears sustainable, with both gold and crypto performing well in the new year.
• Quote:

  “Gold continues…just soaring. $44,640 for gold. That’s about 100 over the course of a year. Crypto still strong. Bitcoin did follow through today. Again, staying over 90,000 is the key marker.”
  —Eric Bolling [00:40]

2. Immigration Enforcement & Political Rhetoric

Guest: Art Del Cueto, former Border Patrol agent and security advisor for FAIR
[01:55–08:50]

ICE Agent Incident & Political Response

• Discussion centers on an altercation in Minneapolis, where an ICE agent was struck by a vehicle during an enforcement operation.

• Criticism of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: Bolling and Del Cueto lambaste Frey for allegedly minimizing the ICE agent’s injuries (“hip injury…might as well have gotten from closing the refrigerator door”).

• Del Cueto calls out hypocrisy among city officials who oppose ICE but use undercover police for security at rallies.

  Quote:

  “It’s despicable that we have leadership running their mouth on issues they don’t know anything about. … They’re causing more division, it’s causing more problems.”
  —Art Del Cueto [02:01]

• Discussion of how anti-ICE/protest rhetoric from liberal politicians is emboldening dangerous protest actions, sometimes leading to tragic consequences (the death of a woman in Minnesota).

• Bolling and Del Cueto connect the resistance narrative to a wider culture war and critique media and progressive politicians who “gin up” agitation.

Broader Political Backlash

• Del Cueto argues that local politicians who oppose immigration enforcement are “against the law,” and says agents now face resistance not just from cartels, but from city governments.

• Bolling notes the increasing trend among White liberal women participating in these protests.

• Both speakers express sympathy for lives lost but blame the protests on “brainwashing” and divisive leadership.

  Quote:

  “They hear these people pushing for them to do this stuff…it’s almost like a football game where the announcer’s getting the crowd riled up, these idiots like Jacob Frey.”
  —Eric Bolling [03:37]

• Del Cueto:

  “At the end we’re dealing with a bunch of troglodytes that don’t have the brain capacity to figure out right from wrong.”
  [05:44]

Minnesota’s Political Leadership

• Critique of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who claims federal immigration operations have sown chaos (“overwhelmed our local police, chaos and violence” [06:25]).
• Del Cueto: “Arresting illegal aliens is public safety…This individual, I wouldn’t trust him to be a security guard at a convenience store.” [07:04]

ICE Operations and Resource Deployment

• Bolling addresses Jacob Frey’s claim that enforcement operations are politically motivated.
• Discussion shifts to allegations of fraud and the impact of Somali communities and “illegals” in state scandals.

3. Gold, Crypto, & the Federal Reserve

Guest: Philip Patrick, Birch Gold Group
[08:51–12:53]

Gold & Precious Metals

• Bolling notes DOJ subpoenas involving the Central Bank and Jerome Powell, questioning potential repercussions for markets.

• Patrick projects continued strength in gold/silver driven by geopolitical instability in Venezuela, Iran, etc.

• Rising inflation and hints at lower interest rates create further tailwinds for gold.

  Quote:

  “The low interest rate environment certainly benefits gold. The argument for the Fed to not cut is diminishing every single day, which bodes well for President Trump.”
  —Philip Patrick [10:15]

Crypto & Dollar Decline

• Patrick expects strong years for both commodities and crypto, noting store-of-value demand outside the US dollar.

• US debt and deficit remain unresolved—“As long as that problem sustains, I think stores of wealth outside of the US dollar, be it physical precious metals or crypto, will continue to see a pickup.”
  —Philip Patrick [11:30]

• Bolling connects the long-term decline of the dollar to continued demand for gold and crypto.

  Quote:

  “The history of currency is destruction and decline. They don’t thrive over long periods of time, particularly [with] deficit spending and unmanageable debt.”
  —Philip Patrick [12:25]

4. US Foreign Policy & Geopolitics: Iran as Flashpoint

Guest: Dr. Waleed Faris, fmr. Trump advisor, foreign policy expert
[15:16–25:24]

Iranian Regime & US Involvement

• Bolling seeks Faris’s view on potential US/Iran escalation, regional embassy closures, and communications disruption.

• Faris highlights President Trump’s open support for Iranian protestors—a signal but not a direct intervention.

• Faris posits that regime change in Iran is inevitable, driven by domestic protest, and suggests US involvement is more about supporting Iranians than ground intervention.

  Quote:

  “There is a consensus…Americans want to help the Iranians, but not to put forces on the ground.”
  —Dr. Waleed Faris [16:59]

Future of Iran

• Faris foresees an end to Islamist rule, predicting a new Iran that is secular, democratic, multi-ethnic, and friendly to Israel/US.

• Emphasizes the importance of a transitional government post-regime.

• Oil politics: Trump administration may arrange oil deals with Iranian opposition as leverage for support.

  Quote:

  “Imagine a nation of 90 million people will be joining the West, the free world.”
  —Dr. Waleed Faris [22:41]

Comparisons: Venezuela, Cuba

• Faris draws parallels with Venezuela, noting US approach is to facilitate regime change via economic deals.
• On Cuba: the spread of Internet access is key to future democratization, with the Cuban diaspora likely leading any transition.

Domestic US Politics & Foreign Policy

• Faris argues political framing of foreign operations will be crucial for Trump in the midterms: characterizing US action as liberation, not “foreign wars.”
• Bolling: “I’m just very, very nervous about any sort of kinetic activity certainly initiated by US.”

5. Transgender Athletics, Supreme Court, and Gender Politics

[25:42–34:10]

Clip & Rant: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

• Bolling plays clips and criticizes Justice Jackson for declining to define “woman” during a Supreme Court case—calls her appointment “an embarrassment.”
• Argues it is “dangerous” and “unfair” for biological men to compete in women’s sports, and denounces terms like “cisgender” as unnecessary and “insulting.”
• Uses tennis as example:

  “Nick Kyrgios (ranked 671st among men) beat Sabalenka, the world’s number one woman, in straight sets in an exhibition.”
  —Eric Bolling [29:05]

• Calls for a Supreme Court ruling to “end the insanity.”
• Cites Dr. Chad Carlson, sports medicine:

  “Athletics is about bodies, not identities. If we allow boys and men in female divisions, girls and women will suffer injury.”
  —citing Wall Street Journal [approx 32:00]

6. Continued Focus: Immigration, DHS Funding & Left/Right Rhetoric

[34:10–42:43]

Democrat Critiques & Defund ICE/Police Narratives

• Bolling features clips of Rep. Ted Lieu, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Sen. Cory Booker, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, and Don Lemon, with response commentary.

• Argues leftists incite violence and call for defunding law enforcement, despite the dangers posed to ICE officers and public safety.

  • Example: Omar’s comments on ICE; Jayapal’s praise of immigration as critical to America.
  • Irony: activists shaving heads in honor of a protester who allegedly used her car as a weapon—Bolling highlights “they can’t even get her name right.”

• Bolling alleges the left wants to keep illegal immigrants for electoral advantage.

• Predicts if Democrats win the House, their main goal will be to impeach Trump.

7. Audience Engagement & Security Risks

[47:06–49:07]

Voicemail Segments

• Perp Walks:
  Caller Steve from West Virginia wants visible arrests for wrongdoers:

  “We’re sick of it, Maga. Sick of it. Start arresting these SOBs…we gotta see it.”
  —Caller Steve [47:35]

• Biosecurity Concerns:
  Another caller raises concern over foreign students sending “inoculants” to US soil (hinting at bioterrorism). Bolling issues warnings about vulnerabilities in the water supply and electrical grid to such threats.

8. Notable Quotes and Moments

• Art Del Cueto:

  “When they do all these rallies and tell the public, ‘don’t comply, resist,’ they do it with undercover police as security. How hypocritical is that?”
  [02:55]

• Eric Bolling:

  “The dollar…has done nothing but go down…that’s always good for precious metals.”
  [11:52]

• Philip Patrick:

  “The history of currency is destruction and decline.”
  [12:25]

• Dr. Waleed Faris:

  “Either they’re going to continue to kill…and get them to 100,000, or they’re gonna go. There is no middle way.”
  [18:43]

• Eric Bolling:

  “Men are generally taller, heavier, faster. We have denser bone structures. We’re stronger than women, period. It’s biology.”
  [28:26]

• Dr. Chad Carlson (via Bolling):

  “Athletics is about bodies, not identities. If we allow boys and men in female divisions, girls and women will suffer injury.”
  [32:00]

• Caller Steve:
