Bells are ringing. People are slamming gavels and stuff, but not very good news in the markets today. Dow Jones down almost 900 points. S&P 145. That's a big move down. NASDAQ 566. That's the biggest loser of the day right there. Tough on a bailing out of some. Some equities that folks had a lot of profits in a vix up. We don't like to see that. Goal up 163. Do you see that? A hundred and sixty three dollars today. How long have we been talking about gold? More than a year. If you bought one ounce of gold a year ago, you'd be up almost $3,000 right now. One ounce. Just one single ounce. Oil up 60. Crypto had a rough day. I think what's going on here is so people are nervous about the market. You're seeing these stock markets trending down. They're nervous. You're not going to want to hear that. They don't like these trade wars that Trump is picking with the Europeans right now over Greenland. Markets turned down and there's a flight to safety. The flight to safety right now is in the precious metals, gold and silver. That's where a lot of that money is flowing instead of into the bitcoin markets. In fact, people are pulling out of bitcoin and going into gold as their safety hedge against something awful happening. So that's just. Don't shoot the messenger. That's what's going on right there. All right, our own RAV correspondent Bo Davidson joins us now from Miami where the world premiere of Angel Studios newest film, Solo Mio, starring Kevin James, is being held. Bo, tell us a bit about the film was expected at the big premiere tonight.
- [01:41]
C
Yeah, absolutely, Eric, thanks for having me. Kevin James will be here soon. This is the premiere of Solo Mio, which is Angel Studios latest film. And you know, you guys know Angel Studios. It's always about content that amplifies light. And this is no different from that. The difference is this is a rom com. We don't expect that necessarily from Angel. It's a rom com with heart in which Soul tells the story about the character of Matt, played by Kevin James, who's left at the altar in Italy. And so what does he do? Well, he's got this whole honeymoon planned in the beautiful Italian countryside, and so he decides to do it alone, hence the title Solo. And in the process of doing this Alone, he comes to rediscover himself. You know, he goes from love lost to actually love found. He finds that in an Italian woman. It's just, I think, just a great story about how things that happen to us, Eric, that, you know, whether it's personal loss, personal tragedy, can find redemption, can have a journey to self discovery. And this is no different from that. And I think Kevin James, Alison Hannigan, Jonathan Roumie from the Chosen is in this in a completely different role from Jesus and the Chosen. But I'm actually excited to see this. I'm excited to see Kevin James in it. You know, we know him as a comedian, but this is one that's got a little bit more emotional depth to it. We just saw him play the coach, Sean Payton in the movie on Netflix last year, which I think was number one on Netflix for two weeks. But also, we just want to make sure we, our audience knows that this is all by Angel Studios. And the great thing about angel is that they have the guild. And the Guild is how you can watch Solo Mio and all the other great projects and content that angel has. You're going to see a QR code on your screen right now. You're going to want to go to that QR code, go to the link that it takes you to. You join the Angel Guild. There you'll get two tickets to Solo Mio, which comes out February 6th, and you'll get access to all the other incredible content that angel has. You probably remember David, the great animated film that came out last year in December. So some really, really great, wonderful stuff. Eric, coming out of angel, and this is no different. It's Solo mio, comes out February 6th.
- [03:25]
A
Huge. Kevin James, megastar. You know, we've seen Angel. This is probably one of their biggest stars that they, that they're going to bring out. And this, this comes out when this will be released nationally or is it only online or it will be in theaters as well?
- [03:42]
C
No, no, it's in theaters February 6th, and then it'll go online eventually. But you make a great point, Eric. You know, angel is not Hollywood adjacent. They are Hollywood now. They're taking the place of Hollywood because the members of the Guild, which I'm encouraging everyone to join, decide what gets to be made. That makes it unlike anything else. It's not Hollywood studio execs sitting in the corner saying, oh, we think this liberal thing might work. This is literally the audience deciding we want this film. We love solo media. There has to be an incredible threshold for members to vote on in order to get it to this level. But everybody loves Kevin James. He's actually a devout Catholic, which I think is great. It guides his life, it guides his journey. It's a, it guides the roles that he, that he plays. So I just think this is an amazing movie for the entire family to see. And angel continues to put out projects that amplify light, and I think we need that in a dark world.
- [04:25]
A
Very, very good. Looking forward to that. I'm a big fan of Kevin James and King of Queens and that what it was. Me too. Great series. Great series. Yep. All right, Bo, thank you so much. Thank you. All right, folks. United States Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem posted on X that more than 10,000 criminal illegal aliens who are killing Americans, hurting children and reigning terror kill in Minneapolis because Tim Walls and Jacob Fry refused to protect their own people and instead protected criminals. Well, she posted that. But here to give us more insight into the work being done in Minneapolis as U.S. border Patrol Chief Michael Banks. Chief, good to have you back, my friend. And very good timing because I just learned that just, I guess, moments or a couple hours ago, the FBI convened the grand jury which subsequently subpoenaed Tim, Governor Tim Walls, Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry, and Attorney General of the State of Minnesota, Keith Ellison. That sounds like pretty darn good news in your neck of the woods. Tell us about that.
- [05:19]
D
And so it does. Right? And so again, you can't incite violence. You can't encourage people to go against and contradict federal law enforcement. You know, what they're doing is putting Minneapolis, Minneapolis residents and American citizens in danger. And so, you know, we're not going to tolerate it. You're not going to impede us, even if you're an elected official. We've got a job to do. We're going to enforce the law. And you need to either get on board and work with us or the bare minimum, get out of our way.
- [05:44]
A
You know, I think it's very, there's, there's an issue here that at the center of this, and I'm not even sure that the Trump administration has, has sent the message now properly on this. Trump sent ICE and bodies, he sent agents to Minneapolis not only to remove criminal illegal aliens, but also to help investigate, find evidence on this massive Somali fraud. He said it, he said this is the reason why it's not just for, for deporting. And, and so all these people who are protesting ICE don't really understand that this has a two pronged effect. And they're supposed to be there for other reasons that might save themselves some real, I guess, financial hardship as well.
- [06:25]
D
And I imagine that's by design by Mayor Fry and Governor Walz. Let's distract from what the real investigation is, which is the billions of dollars that fraud took away from the American taxpayers and the fact that they've got massive amounts of criminal legal aliens inside the Twin Cities and, and they're releasing them onto the streets. Let's, let's, let's create some hate and discontent and maybe they won't focus on the target and they'll go chase this red ball that we're creating.
- [06:51]
A
Chief, amazing what I saw over the weekend. I saw Don Lemon, a left wing CNN agitator, I believe he was with Black Lives Matter or Black Lives Matter were satellite with, with him, bust into the church and Don Lemon got into the pastor's face. I think we might have some sound from that, guys. What? Roll some sound from that just so the folks understand. I'm sure Chief knows it, but go ahead, roll that.
- [07:13]
E
What do you think of it?
- [07:14]
A
I mean, this is unacceptable. It's shameful. It's shameful to, to interrupt a public.
- [07:20]
E
Gathering of Christians in worship.
- [07:24]
A
But there were folks who will say I have to take care of my flock.
- [07:27]
E
Okay, but listen, we live in a, there's a constitution in the First Amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble and protest.
- [07:34]
A
We're here to worship. We're here to worship Jesus because that's the hope of these cities, that's the hope of the world, is Jesus Christ.
- [07:40]
E
I'm gonna be very respectful. Please don't push me though.
- [07:42]
A
We're here. We're here to worship. J us. That's why we're here. Okay? That's why we're here. That's what we're about. Don't you think Jesus would be understanding? And we're about love, these folks. We're about spreading the love of Jesus. Did you try to talk to them as a. No one is willing to talk. Okay, So I, I, Chief, I don't know about you, but I'm certainly hoping there's a knock on Don Lemon's door very, very soon with a subpoena in hand as well, because I believe he's violated a couple of, couple of laws, if not laws, certainly the acts I'm thinking of, the Clan act for one. And others, what are your thoughts on Don Lemon, what he did there?
- [08:20]
D
Just absolutely despicable. Right? And you know, children terrified in church when they're there to worship and people come storming in and creating protests inside the church. And you know what the pastor told them to do. Open your Bibles, open your Bibles. Just absolutely amazing the restraint that they exercised. But, you know, just, it was absolutely staged. It is despicable that someone would go in and take this protest into a church simply because that church wasn't out in the street screaming and hollering against ice. And so it's just sheer intimidation. Let's go intimidate Christians while they're in service to get them on the streets to protest against ice, who's simply actually out there enforcing the law. I just, it's the most despicable thing I've seen a long time.
- [09:04]
A
So Pam Bondi over the weekend came out and said that she was, she's going to use the law enforcement and the tactics against attacks against law enforcement, intimidation of Christians are being met with the full force of federal law. I hope that means to those folks, too, that busted into that church. I mean, you may know more than I do. You imagine. Chief, just for one second, just for one second, if it were, I don't know, let's say Trump supporters or maga, a group of MAGA people who busted into a Baptist church and, and did that kind of intimidating tactic to people praying at a Baptist, a black back this church in the south somewhere. Do you imagine the outrage of the left at that point?
- [09:40]
D
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
- [09:43]
A
All right, I will leave it there. Chief, really good to have you on. And there's a, there's a lot more to come from Minneapolis as we see in the, in the, as long as Margaret Brennan on CBS and those folks in the media keep portraying what's going on in Minneapolis, some sort of peaceful protest, this is going to be a problem we see differently with our own eyes. Chief, final thought on any message to Tim, Governor Tim Walls, Mayor Fry or Attorney General Ellison before.
- [10:08]
D
Yeah, absolutely. United States Border Patrol, ice, Department of Homeland Security. We're not leaving Minnesota without accomplishing the mission, and that is to get violent criminals off the streets. We're not going to be intimidated or the United States Border Patrol will go anywhere in the United States and arrest those in this country illegally.
- [10:23]
A
Final thoughts. Chief, before I let you go, are the local law enforcement authorities in the region in the area assisting you or inhibiting you doing your jobs?
- [10:32]
D
And so for the most part, it's been very inhibiting. I just give you one, one small fact. If you go look at the operations we did in New Orleans, Louisiana, one assault during the entire time we were there, we racked up more assaults against agents in the first day in Minneapolis. And we racked up in many cities because law enforcement inside of Louisiana supported us. We're not asking them to go make immigration arrests. We're asking to protect their people and protect law enforcement from being attacked while they're doing their job. We're not seeing that in Minneapolis.
- [11:03]
A
Chief. I hope you guys help assist the FBI in, in finding more about what this 9 or 10 or who knows how many billions of dollars that were stolen from children's, children's meal plans. I mean, can you imagine that stealing money that was supposed to go to kids, being fed. It can't get more despicable than that. And thank you for what you do, Chief. Chief Michael Banks, thank you so much.
- [11:23]
D
Thank you.
- [11:23]
A
All right, folks, you feel it today. You saw it in the beginning. Markets on edge, the world tense, everyone guessing what comes next, Right? Here's what I've learned from three unforgiving arenas. Pro baseball, pro sports, trading, FL and national television. When pressure rises, most people don't fail because they're weak. They fail because they've never trained for the pressure itself. That's why I built the edge. No politics, no noise, just how men actually perform when things get real. And I'm talking real and they're getting real. We're at 9,400 subscribers right now, closing in fast on 10,000. And that isn't hype, it's momentum. Every week, real conversations with men who've been tested and survived. So you don't have to guess when it's your turn, when your number's called, when that surprise thing happens to you. Go to YouTube, search the edge with Eric Bolling or Eric Bolling and the Edges. Put those two in the search box or just face your camera at that QR code. It'll come up again. Never going to get charged for anything. No one's going to send you any promotional material. We just want you part of this thing. When we hit 10,000, it's off to the races. We want you part of that. Train your edge before you need it. We'll be back. Two and a half minutes. I folks, let's welcome back our next guest, a couple of guests. First guy was a former foreign policy advisor, President Trump, the author of Iran An Imperialistic and Republican imperialist Republic and U.S. policy. And the secretary General of the Transatlantic Parliamentary Group, Dr. Waleed Faris. And welcome to the Kingdom assembly of Iran spokesperson Gazelle Sharmad. They host together the War and Freedom Insight Talks podcast. Welcome Dr. Waleed and Giselle Giselle may start with you, because this. This story is just. It's outrageous. Your father. Your father Iranian, but also American. I understand you'll tell us about that, but he was plucked out of Dubai by the Iranians. They called in an arrest. The rest of the world called it a kidnapping. And then. Tell us what happened next. That was last year. Tell us what happened next.
- [13:40]
F
Thank you, Eric. Yes. And before that, let me go back in time to 2009. The Islamic regime sent assassins to our door in Los Angeles to murder my father when they couldn't assassinate it because it was stopped by the FBI and by the local authorities. They then tried to kill, kidnap him, but unfortunately became true in 2020 when he was kidnapped through two state borders, from Dubai to Oman, from Oman to Iran, held hostage during the entire Biden administration, which did nothing to bring their hostage back. And then he was murdered one week before President Trump was elected. And it took us an entire year to bring back his body from the regime, from the jihadist which. Who mutilated his body and cut him pretty much into pieces to bring him back to America. So these jihadists have their tentacles everywhere, including inside of America.
- [14:34]
A
And we say jihadists. I assume you mean the ruling class, the Muller class, or the theocrats. The reason why I bring this up, Dr. Waleed Ayatollah Khomeini made a statement on Saturday saying several thousands were killed during the protesters. But the theocratic establishment maintains them. They maintain that the agents affiliated with foreign powers and not the state forces were directly responsible for the murders, for the deaths. Waleed, weigh in on that, will you, Eric?
- [15:02]
G
This is the usual narrative by Islamist regimes, in this case, humanist. In Iran regime, they are the one who have the tanks, they are the one who have the troops. They are the ones who have been shooting, machine gunning, mowing down people. And I remember when in the beginning there were about 2,500 people killed. The regime said 500. Now that the regime is saying 5,000, you have to multiply this by four. So basically, you have 20,000 people killed. This regime actually was not ready yet to fight against the United States and Israel. So what they've done was to promise the United States that they're going to stop the killing, stop the lynching. But in fact, they have engaged their whole army, the whole militias, occupying Tehran. Now you go on Instagram, you see videos of their armies and forces marching and rolling through Tehran and through other cities in Iran. So this is a dossier that is not closed. We need to have to make A decision about it in America, Giselle.
- [16:02]
A
The Iranian government, the mullahs have promised more, right? So they said this, this isn't finished. And apparently what they've been doing is murdering their own citizens. They admit to 4,000 murders so far. Deaths in the protest so far. But there's no Internet. We have no idea. We have no eyes on the ground there. When, when they do shine the Internet, they'll open the, open the gates, so to speak. The number could be, as Waleed says. I think people on Fox are predicting, some generals are predicting 12 to 15,000 murders of their own citizens. It's, it's continuing though. How does this end, Giselle?
- [16:39]
F
It ends with the liberation of Iran. Let me just go back and correct some of the misunderstandings. This is not a government of Iran. No Iranian elected the Ayatollahs ever. This is an Islamo Marxist coup that was brought about in 1979 from the outside. So the Ayatollahs were produced in Iraq in the Islamic schools of Iraq, then they were brought to France and then air flown into an Air France flight to Iran, replacing the Iranian true government. So they're not killing their own people. The people of the Ayatollahs are the Arab Islamist armies in Gaza, which is Hamas in Lebanon, which is Hezbollah in Yemen, which are the Houthi and all of the other Islamic militias. They are the sworn enemies of Iranians. So as we know, they are anti American, they're anti Israel, but they're first and foremost anti Iranians. That's why they're taking machine guns and mowing down millions of millions of Iranians who are trying to reclaim their country, which is not Islamic, out of the hands of these jihadists and back into the hands of the Iranian people. Now, let me explain to you. When they kidnap my father, and I'm just one Iranian American here, I stopped everything. I stopped my career as a critical care nurse. I stopped being pretty much a mother to my newborn child. I stopped everything and focused on taking out this regime. So now they've been mowing down thousands of Iranians. Guess what they will do? Do you think they will go back home and say, okay, we're good now, it's okay, they will do everything. Now, if they had any ambition, any fire, any grievances before to take these Islamists out of Iran, that, that ambition, that fire is now a thousand fold. So Right now, as Dr. Faris was saying, they're bringing in militias from Lebanon, they're speaking Arabic, they're holding down millions of Iranians in their homes through martial law. How long can they maintain that? Especially when America and Israel start bombarding them from the top. They cannot fight the Iranian millions of Iranian people, the underground resistance and American troops, American from the sky at the same time. So they're going down.
- [18:47]
A
Walid, the way all regimes, dictatorships and regimes end is when. When the military decides, okay, we've had enough. These, the numbers are getting too great. Are we at a tipping point? What. What's the. Where's the tipping point where the military lays down their guns and say we're no longer protecting these. These lunatics? We're with you on this. Where is that? Where are we? What inning of the ball game are we, so to speak?
- [19:10]
G
Eric, there are multiple tipping points and we need to see a alignment of planets. The first important one is that the population is decided is determin continue. And that's what we're saying. Yes, there is shutdown of Internet. Guess what? Some of these rebels or the demonstrators have created a internal Internet among themselves and found ways to get us the videos, get us what's happening inside. But there is something in between. The population rising, part of the military deciding to break away from the regime, which is what we say here. It's like when Reagan hold Gorbachev tear down the wall. What we need really is President Trump and other leaders later on addressing directly the Iranian people. That would encourage the people to stay put. That would encourage some of the dissidents in the military, and those military will help the people bring down the regime.
- [20:03]
A
I will tell you, Giselle, the Iranian population is around 90 million people. The Iranian military is ballpark with. With reserves, about 900,000. So there are 10 times more people than. Than military. My point is, in America, we were about a million active duty, maybe a million three. And we have 300 million citizens. We have a lot more citizens per military personnel. My point is, is there a point where the 90 million people are big enough and active enough and motivated enough to force the 900,000 military people in Iran to lay down their weapons?
- [20:40]
F
If inside of Iran there was a military that was a normal military like we have in America, they would lay down their weapons. What we have inside of Iran is a jihadist army. Jihadists do not want any peace. Jihadists are sworn enemies of any civilization. So if jihadists were controlling America right now, the American people would rise up again and again and again until we get them out, just like we're doing right now. You were just reporting about pastors and everybody here in America being harassed by the far left or the jihadist or whatever forces we have inside of our country, the American people are fighting back. The same thing is happening inside of Iran. So we have to understand this will be bloody because jihadists do not step back. We have to also understand that jihadists do not. We cannot act in a vacuum and think they're staying in the Middle East. Nothing's going to happen to us over here, especially in times of cybersecurity, especially in times where they can just, like cyber attack our water system or do something to poison millions of Americans here on our soil. We have to understand that the threat cannot be stopped because we have an ocean between us. The threat is here. They tried to assassinate our president. They will continue trying to do that with all of their forces. So it is in our national interest as Americans to stand with the Iranian people who are doing the job on the ground right now. They have no military, but they're going up against them. We've seen in the last weeks deflections from the Iranian army away from the Ayatollah. So it is crumbling as we speak. But it's our duty to stand with the right side because it is in our national interest to have the biggest, biggest jihadist organization that's screaming death to America and wants to kill our president being taken out before anything else can happen.
- [22:23]
A
Very good. Very good. By the way, folks, we told you yesterday that the Iranian Foreign Minister decided not to show up in Davos World Economic Forum after he is somehow invited. No one can figure out why. They probably didn't want to be there when Trump just absolutely unleashed on him tomorrow. I'm guessing a lot of what he talks about will be Iran as well as Venezuela and Greenland. But I'm sure Ryan will get there, get their moment in the. In the war path of Donald John Trump. Thank you both. Walid Ferris, Giselle Sharma. Thank you very much, both of you.
- [22:55]
F
Thank you.
- [22:55]
G
Thank you, Eric.
- [22:56]
A
All right, folks, we'll be back. Two and a half minutes. Well, our old friend Don't Lamon led an angry mob into a church on Sunday in Minneapolis. Family sat there, horrified, children in the pews. He went there with intent just as much as that mob did. Don was with them. Dom was one of them. Don went there knowing full well what he was and that he was a part of it, and he did it anyway. And then when the world reacted with shock and horror, he not only showed zero remorse. Nope, no chance. Down the man. Instead, Don insisted that there was nothing wrong with what he did or even that. What he did that whole angry mob thing instead. Don decided it was time to double down.
- [23:45]
E
And there's a certain degree of entitlement. I think people who are, you know, in religious groups like that, it's not the type of Christianity that I practice, but I think that they're entitled and that that entitlement comes from a supremacy, a white supremacy. And they think that this country was built for them, that it is a Christian country. When actually we left England because we wanted religious freedom. It's religious freedom, but only if you're a Christian and only if you're a white. Mal.
- [24:08]
F
Pretty much.
- [24:09]
E
And so, Yeah, I. Absolutely, 100%, but it's an intimidation tactic. And, you know, I said, I don't understand how I've become the face of it. When I was a journalist, I do understand that I'm the biggest name there. And I'm also, as I was on with my producers this morning, you and Kylie talk all the time. My producers were saying. I said, how did I become the face of this? And my producer said, don, you're a gay black man in America.
- [24:29]
A
Hey, dumbass, you broke into the church. They were minding their own business. They're white supremacists praying in a church. You break in with Black Lives Matter and other groups, other agitators, and they're being somehow bigoted. Are you nuts? By the way, you aren't the biggest name there. You were never the biggest name. Contrary to your own misguided beliefs. Everything that's wrong with liberalism was encapsulated in that 1:44 second clip of Don Lemon right there. A complete misuse of the word entitlement. That's really rich. So those who look to practice their religion quietly are somehow entitled. Well, I guess they are entitled to do that. I think the freedom of religion in the Constitution protects that, Don. And you busted that up. Total lack of responsibility. Why am I the face of this? Well, of course you're the face of it. If the world had reacted positively, Don would have been absolutely thrilled to be the face of it all. But now, of course, he's just a journalist. Not even close, by the way. And then naturally, the identity politics must be thrown in there. Folks, I'm just being attacked because I'm a black gay man. I'm not a victim. Don't you see? I'm the victim. They're not victims. I'm the victim, says Don Lamond. Nothing to do with the fact that you proudly led a mob into a church while they're praying on Sunday. Women, children, all of this an attack on you because you're gay, Don? I guess so. All of that 44 seconds is why we're fighting a losing battle right now against these lunatics. The left have officially gone crazy. It's official. And I can't even begin to understand how to fix it. Lemon Gate is about more than just Don Lemon and his comrades thinking it's perfectly all right to storm a church in the name of the First Amendment. The protest is fundamental to American society.
- [26:18]
E
This country started in a protest, and, you know, it's freedom of expression.
- [26:23]
A
People have a right to lift up their voices and make their peace, and none of us are immune from the voice of the. Of the public. Lemongate is about so many things. The left's obsession with keeping illegals in America, with protesting all things that Trump does. That crowd scaring innocent churchgoers who themselves are protected under the constitutional to practice their religion freely. Believe me, they know that this stopped to an entire. An absolute, entirely new low, even for them. They're taking their usual airwaves, welcomed by the open arms of cnn, which was obviously doing everything in their power to desperately try to clean up on aisle nine and justify any sort of way, something so outrageously unjustifiable on the street right now. They feel a kind of helplessness. Right. That's how you end up bullying your way into a church. And you've been in that chair.
- [27:19]
C
You've been the person who was the activist and felt like lawmakers weren't doing enough.
- [27:23]
A
Do you understand their frustration? Of course. Oh, of course. She said. It's just so frustrating when the federal government removes illegals in order to protect the country. How utterly frustrating that is. So much so that we welcome total anarchists. They've gone mad. They've gone insane. But Lemongate also highlights so much of what's wrong with the news right now. I don't even call it news. It's not even journalism anymore. It's. It's propaganda. You see, Don Lemon let his own bias in politics get the better of him yet again, and he had the nerve to call it journalism and protected it under protesters under some sort of facade that the Constitution protects them. Even if they place fear and chaos into a Sunday prayer service, the left knows it's several steps too far. It's gone way over the line. Never mind that the Department of Justice is looking to prosecute the. Under the Civil Rights act, and it's called the Klan Act. There's sort of a manic fever to these protests now. We've Seen it time and time again with the leftist protests, in which reason goes so far out the window, it can't even be seen from planet Earth. They're wrong. So wrong, and they know it. You see, Don Lemon was so mesmerized by the attention and adoration Nick Shirley got after taking himself to Minnesota to earn some of the. The most disgusting fraud this country has ever seen. And that's because. You know why? Because Don wanted to be a part of it. He wanted to put himself in the middle of it. Clinton's Pelosi wanted to be one of them. But I. Look, it looks like Don Lemon wanted a little piece of that pie. Pretending to be a real journalist by throwing himself into the middle of that mob. Celebrating the mob and then saying when it blew up. Oh, I was just doing journalism. Looks like Don made some sour lemonade out of those lemons. And there's a history lesson here. Don Lemon has stepped in it plenty of times. Exhibit A. How about a healthy dose of blatant sexism?

This whole talk about AIDS makes me uncomfortable. I think that. I think it's the wrong road to go down. She says people, you know, politicians are something, and not in their prime. Nikki Haley isn't in her prime.
- [29:31]
A
Sorry.

When a woman is considered to be in her prime in her 20s, 20s and 30s and maybe 40s.

What are you talking.

E
Wait, that's not. According to me.
- [29:38]
B
Crime.
- [29:38]
A
For what?
- [29:39]
E
It depends.

A
It's just like crime. He said that, and it kind of cost him his job. But he also said this, and I.

Remember once when I said that the biggest terror threat in this country were domestic white men radicalized to the right because of domestic terror. It was the truth. But everyone gets all outraged by that.
- [29:57]
A
So Don's. Those white men in America are just so. So horrible, so terrible. And then he went out and married one. He did. Bottom line is that nothing is sacred to the left. Nothing about this country, about our way of life, about the Constitution, about people's protected freedoms and their safety. All that matters is their hatred. There's nothing left but violence and hatred and zero regard for humanity. The blue line through all of this is the one thing in history that never changes, is the sheer evil of the Democrat Party. And yes, Don Lemon, you're one of it. You're one of the faces of it, and you want to be right in the middle of it. Good luck, my friend, when that subpoena knocks on your door. And no, it has nothing at all to do with the fact that you're black or gay. Or both. Doesn't matter. You broke into that church. But everything to do with the fact that you and everyone that like you and thinks like you has completely forgotten what it means to be an American. We'll be back two and a half minutes. Every day, Americans make choices that shape our country's future right down to which cell phone provider we support. Here's what most people don't realize. Patriot Mobile isn't just a wireless provider. They're actually an activist organization funded by selling top tier cell phone service. They've been on the front lines defending our freedoms long before it was cool. Standing in the gap when others wouldn't. The best part is they deliver prioritized premium service on all three major U S networks giving you the same or even better coverage backed by 100 U. S based customer support. Get unlimited data plans, mobile hotspot spots, international roaming and more. And when you switch to Patriot Mobile, you'll help grow a movement that fuels the Christian conservative cause. Every bill you pay helps advance the values of faith, family and freedom. Switching is easier than ever. Activate in minutes. Keep your number, keep your phone. Or you can upgrade. Take a stand today. Go to patriotmobile.com rav or call 972 Patriot and use promo code RAV for a free month month of service. That's patriotmobile.com rev or call this number 972 Patriot. Make the switch today. And so it officially begins. Exactly one year into his second presidency. While the US Continues to face an open rebellion against him from the left, against all levels, federal, state and local, the world's so called elites are taking swings at President Trump. Over in Switzerland, the billionaire boys club as RFK Jr referred to it as is in full swing in Davos with the World Economic Forum and its new president and CEO quickly set the tone by throwing out words like orchestrate as a fancy word for we're here to make up some new rules. It's a moment of uncertainty, but also possibility. Not a moment to retreat, but a moment to rise. The World Economic Forum is not about responding to to current events. It's about orchestrating the right conditions that enable us to move forward. Orchestrating. Another word for coursing, controlling. Same word, same idea. That's code by the way, for nothing else happens in the world until we figure out how to proceed. And to help kick things off, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink took a break from his busy schedule of pushing DEI and trying to change our collective behaviors to talk about how important it is for the elite to regain the Trust of the world so that they can, what, control us some more? We hear all about the elites, and how does that play out in an age of populism? How does an established institution make a difference in an era of deep institutional mistrust? And there's some truth to the criteria speak. I believe in this forum for a long time. I certainly wouldn't be leading this if I didn't believe that we can change and make the world better. But it's also obvious that the world now places far less trust in us to help shape what comes next. If the World Economic Forum is going to be useful going forward, it has to regain that trust. That Guy ran runs BlackRock. They run about $2 trillion of pension funds around the country, and they were focused on DEI and climate change forever. You think it's going to be any different when he runs the World Economic Forum? No way. Same guy. They just want us to pay for it. Gavin Newsom took time out of his busy schedule of running the state of California into the ground and hating America to fly to Davos, attend the World Economic Forum, and bully Europe's leaders into being more firm with President Trump on his own soil and then on foreign soil. Watch. Time to buck up. It's time to get serious and stop being complicit. It's time to stand tall and firm, have a backbone. You know, it's. I've seen this in the United States, the supine Congress playing both sides. You know, saying one thing on a text or tweet another thing publicly. Should you reform principle. It's time to stand tall, strong. Does that mean what's the time to stand united? You make that determination. I don't make that determination. But when you say standing collective, just. I can't take this complicity. He said, time to buck up. Just for clarity, just so we're safe here. Just. You understand, that's exactly what he said. To be clear, though, that's the governor of one of the biggest states in our country, the biggest, really, and maybe the most populous. A man who's likely to run for president in two years. And he's calling for European countries to come for our current president of the United States. And he's doing it on camera. Gavin here's telling the world that he just hates it when our president shows strength on the world stage. People rolling over. I should have brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders. I mean, handing out crowns and handing. I mean, this is pathetic. Nobel prizes that are being given away. I mean, it's just pathetic. And I hope people understand how pathetic they look on the world stage. I mean, at least from an American perspective. It's embarrassing. So what should European doing? The Europeans should decide for themselves what to do. But one thing they can't do is what they've been doing and they've been playing. This guy's playing folks for fools and it's embarrassing. You Europeans think this is diplomacy and this will diplomacy with Donald Trump. He's a T. Rex. You mate with him or he devours you. Best part of that soundbite is not what Gavin Newsom was babbling on about, by the way. If he were president, he would put us right in the middle of that World Economic Forum, which means we pay for all those stupid BS projects ideas of theirs. The climate change and eating bugs instead of food and beef, whatever. But do you see those reporters? They're like shaking their head, nodding in agreement. Those European reporters just love, love them. Some liberal American politicians don't they? Looks like maybe someone had a little too much fun the night before his speech to the World Economic Forum. Or maybe it's because President Trump smacked Manuel McCrone around a bit, proverbially speaking, last night when he was asked about Macron refusing to be on his board of Peace for Gaza. Well, nobody wants him because he's going to be out of office very soon. So, you know, that's all right. What I'll do is if they feel like hostile, I'll put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagne. Sick. His wines and champagne at Costco, apparently. French President Emmanuel Macron. Same guy having an issue with his eye, which is why he delivered his speech in aviator sunglasses.

Competition from the United States of America.
- [37:58]
A
Through trade agreements that undermine our export interests, demand maximum concession concessions and openly aim to weaken and subordinate Europe. Europe combined with an endless accumulation of new tariffs that are fundamentally unacceptable. I know. You know? Bandit asked why we didn't go to to Davos. Like when for, for. I don't want to be with these lunatics. I don't want to hear this. How about him? Manuel Macron, wearing sunglasses because his eye had a bad eye. Either that or he's just thought he was looking cool in Davos. Just got off the slopes. The head of the European Union, Ursula van der Leyen, took a break from her busy schedule of pushing for the complete censorship of her continent's populist movement and calling for zero carbon footprint. This is what they're all about, folks. Zero carbon footprints for all human beings. And to give $90 billion more dollars to Ukraine.
- [38:50]
F
We all agree that therefore, Ukraine must be in a position of strength to go to the negotiation table. And this is why we Europeans have decided to provide Ukraine with a loan of 90 billion euros for 2026 and 2027. It reaffirms Europe's unwavering commitment to the security, the defense, and the European future of Ukraine.
- [39:19]
A
You know what? Fine. European future. Fine. Putting a bit of fire under Putin right there. Fine. Always a good idea. Fine. Just use your billions, don't use ours. Shall we? All right. These people want their global reset. They want their new world order. The globalists at the World Economic Forum say it it out loud. But also the messaging is there in every single thing they say and do. And here the von der Leyen lady is really just conveying the West's collective dream of a global financial reset. Important.
- [39:50]
F
And the decision to delink the US dollar from gold in an instant. The foundations of the Bretton woods system and the entire global economic order set up after the war effectively collapsed. But it also had two major effects. It inadvertently created the conditions for what would become a truly global order. And it provided a sharp lesson for Europe and on the need to strengthen its economic and political power. It was a warning to reduce our dependencies, in this case on a foreign currency. The world may be very different today without any question, but I believe the lesson is very much the same, that geopolitical shocks can and must serve as an opportunity for Europe.
- [40:53]
A
They want this. They want one global power control center. They want it. We have it. We're the strongest country. We're the richest country. We're the most productive country on the planet. They don't like that. They want to bring us down. They want to use some of it and take all of our assets, take all of our ingenuity and spread it around the world. What's in for us? Nothing. Nothing. This is the worst possible gathering of human beings I've ever heard of. Awful. Another dream of the Davos crowd. Cashless society. This is part of the plan. They don't want the US Dollar. They want a digital currency. What better way to control the masses than to have all the digital money under your control so they can track your every move, every single thing you buy, every single thing you do, where you go. Give them that and you give them control of the world. Watch. More than 100 central banks don't have a fast payment system. And fast payment system is very important for any economy.
- [42:03]
D
To make the economy efficient, for example.
- [42:08]
A
That will also help to reach the goal of cashless based economy. And this is type of digital, digital product. Of all the harebrained ideas that they're trying to come up with in Davos, this is the worst. A global digital currency. They want to control it, they can. That means they know your bank accounts, they know your spending, they know everything you do. Completely unconstitutional in the United States. All right, folks, words matter, signals matter. And when leaders get it wrong, markets, careers and lives pay the price. I've watched it happen in real time. From oil pits in New York to cable news to locker rooms, here's the one truth no one tells you. Most men are reacting when they should be preparing. The Edge is where preparation lives. No slogans, no motivation. Fluff. Just lived experience under pressure. We're 9,400 strong, climbing fast towards 10,000. Get us through that. That thermometer. Bust the top off at. Let's get 10,000.

Thank you for staying with Rav, thank you for staying with the bowling show, and thank you for subscribing to the Edge. We'll be back in two nets. Alrighty, folks, let's do a few. Hey, can we have the control room cam? Let's take a look at it. Ben. Working on it. Oh, we're working on it. Okay. We're gonna do some voice. I think we. We had Steve on the line for a second. We lost the. We lost the connection. So we're gonna just jump over to some Voice. There we go. Benny, can you. Hey, guys, let's play a couple. Let's. What do you got? What's first?
- [44:21]
G
We have.
- [44:22]
A
Hold on one moment.
- [44:23]
C
We have a viewer doesn't understand the ice protest.
- [44:26]
A
Yes.
- [44:27]
B
Yeah, I'd like to say I don't understand. I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but I don't understand why these people were protesting. They must not be or not understand what illegal means. It's unlawful if they don't know. But I come up with the conclusion I believe are blinded from the truth. There's no Doubt about it. There is the blind leading the blind. I appreciate you, and I am happy I could call in. Why?
- [44:55]
A
All right. All right. Yeah, you're right. And by the way, they are violating some laws, maybe more than one. And we just pointed out within the last couple hours, Governor Tim Wallace, tampon, Timmy Walls has been. A grand jury was convened by the FBI. They. They subpoenaed Walls, Fry, Jacob Fry, the mayor, and also Keith Ellison, the Attorney General. So maybe we will. Maybe we see some perp walks, at least some investigations into perp walks. Benny got another one. Yes, sir. We have a viewer with some questions about suing protesters.
- [45:27]
B
Hey, my name is Joe. Is there any way to have a lawsuit brought against these protesters for stressing out my animals because they're not eating right, they're not going in their litter box the right way. And it's just. It's messing them all up with all this noise and stuff. And if they don't stop doing it, it's just gonna make a Morse. It's gonna cost me a vet bill and all that. I'm gonna have to take them to the vet, which I don't like to do, except in emergencies. You know, cats, cat, man, a dog. The dog there, you know, ain't like you gotta rush them to the ER room every time something happens. But that's the way I look at animals. But at least you treat them with respect. And I love animals. So is there any way I can take these guys to court? Let me know. Maybe get a hold of your lawyer friends, because these guys shouldn't be able to be banging on drums and making noise around my house. All right, have a great day. And Trump's gonna win at everything, and I think he is gonna hit Iran, unless for some miracle, them guys get the hell out of there. And you know who I'm talking about. The families and their cousins and all of them. Go to exile somewhere on an island. Enjoy the rest of your life in luxury. I would take that offer any day.
- [46:50]
A
Okay. All right. I don't even know where to start with it. Joe. I'm not sure you can sue the protesters because your cats aren't using the litter box the right way. It's a great. I put that there because I love. I started cracking up when I heard this. And, Joe, take your dog to the vet. If there's something wrong, don't say they're just daughters and. No, take your dog, your cat to the vet if. If they. If something comes up. And yes, it's going to happen. The Mullahs are all going to find a place to go. Cutter maybe. Cutter maybe. I don't know. It was going to be Venezuela. Could have been Venezuela. Once the military says, no, we're not protecting you anymore, they're gone. It'll be a regular government, probably in some sort of quasi democracy in. They'll. They'll elect officials. There is actually a democracy going on in there, but they have no power. So the President of Iran has no power. It's all the mullahs, the Ayatollah, etc. But Joe, take your animals to the vet if they need it. Please, please. Benny. We have a viewer's thoughts on maga.
- [47:47]
B
And tell the President that we're getting sick and tired. Him going on TV and telling us what great guys. Boom. And. And Cassidy and Johnson and all the scumbags that are waiting him out, you know, sit there and tell the American people. Stand there and put your arms around these guys and tell you, these are the fighters.
- [48:07]
A
These son of a.

B
Sell him out with a wooden nickel if they could get away with it. And you know what you invented? You talk all about the deep state, but you don't ever can name a name. And that started to piss your base off. John. Thune and John are about as frugal as pieces of shit that you could possibly have. And he sits there tampering. Oh, what great people we have in the Senate, Congress. You still got 40 head to clean out of the Senate and about 140 head to clean out of the House before this thing looks anything like a republic again.
- [48:42]
A
My man's there a little upset. I will agree with you, dude. If you watch the show, you know, I, I come down hard on Thune and Johnson. I think they're rhinos. I don't think they're doing Trump any favors. I'll tell you the best. The best example of this is when the government went on strike or whatever, they shut down for a while. There was an opportunity to do some recess appointments. Appointments at that moment. But you needed Thune. We needed Johnson first and then Thune to back that up. And they were nowhere to be found. They wouldn't do it. They wouldn't bring it to a vote so that they could. So Trump could make recess appointments when the government shut down. They're no, they're no friends of Trump. I don't know why he lets Johnson come to the UFC fights and hang out with them. Those are rhinos. And you're right, it's a process, though. I mean, it's much better than the first Trump presidency. Like we he weeded out a lot of the rhino nonsense, Reince Priebus, etc. On Spicer. Another rhino. Those two clowns are gone now. They're not part of this. So he's weeding it out. Takes time. It takes time. I'm not sure why he doesn't get rid of the rest of them, but it's time. Most importantly, I hope he leans on Pam Bondi to put Tim Walls, Jacob Fry and Keith Ellison behind bars. That's it, folks. That's it for us. We will see you again here tomorrow. Steve Bannon War Room is coming up next. Have a great night. Always Keep it here. I on Rev. Keep it here, rev. Top to bottom, morning to night, this is an iHeart podcast.
