This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human. All righty, folks, 4 o' clock Wednesday. Markets have closed. Why don't we take a look here across the board. Dow Jones earlier it was down. This morning it was down quite a bit. Trump was in Davos. He started talking about Greenland. And I will tell you, the minute he said that we were not going to use force to take Greenland, it was about 300 lower. In the Dow. It went from down 300 to even. And look at this, right now we're sitting at almost 500, 550 points higher on the Dow. S P decent day, 78 higher. Nasdaq up 270 points. Jumping over to the oil markets, still a little, you know, kind of finding a home at 60. We'd like to see that lower. We may see that soon. And gold, gold was up $150 an ounce earlier still ended the day 80, 80, sorry, $60 an ounce higher. Silver backed off just a touch, just a little bit. Precious metals very, very strong across the board. Crypto, another one. Down most of the down big time yesterday, down most of the morning. Next, you know, Trump was talking about not using force to take Greenland and things turned around. Crypto bounced back up to about unchanged for the day. While President Trump arrived in Davos, Switzerland after his plane had to turned around for a minor electrical issue. He spoke at the World Economic Forum. I'm sure we've seen this all day, but this is really, really good. He spoke for 70 minutes, covered everything from international topics such as Greenland. The big, the big kahuna was Greenland. Talked about Russia and Ukraine to US Issues discussing the Somali invasion in Minnesota, talked about the price of gas. He wants the gas price even lower than it already is. He also talked about how well he's doing in this term versus the first term and how bad it was in between those two terms. He spoke on much of these things, some of the accomplishments, but let's take a look. A little soundbite for you.

Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of my inauguration. And today, after 12 months back in the White House, our economy is booming, growth is exploding, productivity is surging, investment is soaring, incomes are rising, inflation has been defeated. Our previously open and dangerous border is closed and virtually impenetrable. And the United States is in the midst of the fastest and most dramatic economic turnaround in our country's history.
A
And you know, Mark Rev, chief White House correspondent Brian Glenn has been in Davos all week and he joins us right now. Brian, tell us what went on today.
C
Thanks, Eric. We are Just outside the USA house here. Oddly enough it is basically a church. Looks like a long time church, but that is along the main strip here in Davos. And there is another USA house that's just down the road. That is where they've had a lot of one on one meetings and various meetings with Trump Admin there as well as we have seen an enormous attendance here@davos 2026. Now let's flip the camera around real quickly. I'll kind of show you. The way it's positioned is up and down this street normally there would be businesses. Well during Davos these businesses kind of switch, remove their, their brand and insert corporate America countries as well. I'll pan off to the left right there. You'll recognize that name right, right there on that building that is in Palantir set up here at Davos. But what makes I guess Davos interesting is it very much as a combination of government and big corporate business coming together to work on policies that they can perhaps put in place to better society. At least that is the main purpose for that. Now if we go towards President Trump's speech today, it started out very much what I would think would be a normal Trump speech. Did talk about the 2020 election, talked about how it was a rigged election and that that will never happen again. Also hinted around and even said it that perhaps he's breaking some news that there will be accountability for that 2020 election and the fraud that took place. So we kind of hit it around with that. But in terms of protesters earlier and I'll flip it back around here so you can give you an idea where they were. They were right out front here. They've got this whole area petitioned off for the crowds to gather. Obviously being in front of the USA House is something that's a lot, drew a lot of attention here. People wanted to stop and see. I just did an interview with Nigel Farage a little bit earlier. Scott Bessant had been there as well. So a lot of people drawn to this USA House as you would think here at Davos. Now as we go into tomorrow, President Trump scheduled to deliver brief remarks tomorrow in regards to, to his attendance here@davos 2026. But this is one of those events, Eric, that, you know, when it was announced, you have to kind of scratch your head for a second and say why is President Trump going to this World Economic Forum? This has quite honestly been one of those events that we used to kind of vilify. We used to kind of blame all the problems in the world on this conference and all of the elite coming together that thinks they know better about how to manage society than we do. But this time, I think President Trump really, in his speech, really hammered down the fact that this is a new era, this is almost a new age of what you would call a new world order. And President Trump kind of bringing America back to the forefront and respect around the world, not only economically, but militarily as well. Cars continue to come down here. If you want to get an idea on the traffic last night leaving this area, going back to a hotel, they to go 0.6 miles, Eric. It took us an hour and a half back to you guys.
A
Well, that's because the big guys in town, everyone wants, it's everyone wants to get close to Trump. You should see the reporters. After Trump made his speech, it was an opportunity for global world journalists to come and ask the president some, some questions. And he was very, very forthcoming with, with a lot of questions. By the way, we just heard that Gavin Newsom tried to get into USA House. True story. He was rejected at the door. By the way, why is the governor of California trying to act like he's some sort of diplomat? Global diplomat, that, by the way, Palantir is the sponsor of that USA House. Palantir is founder and CEO. That's Peter Thiel, the billionaire conservative billionaire, I believe, friendly to Trump as well. All right, folks, we've watched my next guest for years, helping families on the hit show, the TV show Catch a Contractor. And for the last 10 years, he has appeared hundreds of times on the nation's biggest news shows as an expert contributor on how Americans can improve your own homes and more importantly, how they can keep healthy and safe. Happy to have Skip Bedell here with us to discuss the serious concern over chemicals and contaminants that are in our drinking water. Skip, welcome to Bowling. Welcome to Real America's Voice. Really good to have you, my friend. Been watching you for years. Tell us what you're standing in front of, because I think this is a very, very important issue you're talking about.
D
Yes, sir. Thank you so much for having me, Eric. And you're right, it is a critically important issue that most Americans, you know, I think they're really just under educated as to what's in the water. And, you know, we see it more and more. I'm sure you're seeing stories all the time, Eric, about the things that are showing up in the water. Not just the usual stories, you know, like the lead and the mercury and the arsenic. But now we're seeing these incredible spikes nationwide in things called forever chemicals. And they're not only showing up in the water, they're actually showing up in the blood tests of Americans across the nation. And these chemicals are serious. They cause big problems to our systems. We're seeing tremendous rises in cancer, in internal organ problems, things like liver and kidney disease and intestinal disease, and it's all going back to water. We need to filter these things out of a water. I'm sure a lot of the viewers, myself included, maybe yourself, too, in the last number of years, you're experiencing a big rise in things like chronic fatigue, pain all over your body, chronic inflammation, brain fog, maybe all these things are all symptoms of stuff that is our body is being affected with, you know, that's in our environment. So, yeah, as far as filtering out the water, super important. A lot of people are under the misconception or just this, this. This sense of security that's completely false, that if they do filter all the water, you know, the water that they drink in their house, perhaps they have a filter on the refrigerator or under the kitchen sink, or they even drink bottled water, that they're free from these problems that they don't have to worry about all the contaminants, they hear about the news. And the scary part is that couldn't be further from the truth. And what I'm going to say next is probably going to shock a lot of people in your audience, because I know it shocked me the first time I heard it. Once I started doing all the research for my own family, I was shocked to find this out. You know, our skin is the largest organ on the human body, and it absorbs everything that comes into contact with Eric. And that's why so many medications that we get prescribed or are prescribed to be applied topically, because those medications absorb directly into your bloodstream very, very quickly. It's the same thing with all the contaminants. There's hundreds and hundreds of contaminants that are in our water across the country. So when we shower and bathe, do things that we think are clean, you know, wash our face and hands and brush our teeth, we're coming in contact with water all the time, not just the water that we drink. And so all those contaminants could be absorbed very, very quickly through our skin. And also when we stand in the shower, it's. And inhale the vapors in the shower now, they're highly condensed and vaporized. Those chemicals going directly into your lungs and into your bloodstream. And that is exactly why people need to filter all of the water that comes into their home, not just the water that they drink. So, you know, I did a ton of research being in this field, being a home improvement contractor, you know, for decades. My family's been building homes for over 100 years. I've been around this for many, many years and installed every type of water system you can imagine. So when it came time for me to find the right system for my own home and keep my family safe, I did a lot of research and I came up with, you know, a whole house water filtration system is what people really need to have in their home. Something that's going to filter all of the water, every drop of it to every faucet.
A
Skip, let me just tell you, I am, I'm so glad you're doing this. I am hugely, hugely concerned about my own drinking water. My family's drinking water, for God's sakes. I give my dog bottled water. Don't shoot me. There's reasons you guess. Everyone can go to their own town's water supply. There's a report that has to come out at least once a year, if not more. And the EPA mandates this here. I'm just reading a few things that are in our drinking water. Faucets ready, lead, copper. Those are tied to neurological problems. Arsenic tied to cancer, chromium tied to cancer, not to mention fecal matter. They have a level that's acceptable of fecal matter in your drinking water. Can you mind? Blown, Skip, am I right?
D
Completely blown. And you know what you're talking about right there, Eric, is the MCLS. You can look it up on the EPA's website. MCLS are Maximum Contamination levels or limits. Acceptable limits that the government agency actually puts on is saying it's acceptable amounts of poison that is in our water. Now I don't know about you, but if you're feeding an infant child and that child is dependent on everything that goes into their body on you, there is zero amount of poison I'm putting in that child's mouth. So why should there be any acceptable allowed into our bodies? And it is a big problem you're mentioning the epa. They only regulate a very small fraction of the thousands of contaminants are in our water. They just can't keep track with there are literally hundreds of forever chemicals just alone. And I think they only regulate about 90 or 92 of those out of three. Close to 400 forever chemicals. These are a big problem because they are absolutely confirmed now to be Directly causing cancer and in Americans. And we're finding that this is, you know, a huge nationwide problem. It's not just in little pockets, it's everywhere. And that is why you need to filter out all of the water that comes into your home units like this. You know, after me doing a lot of research and looking at price, what's the most effective, what's the, the smallest size, the easiest to install. I came up personally with this system. I find it to be amazing. Since I've installed it in my home, I've noticed a tremendous difference. Not only in the way I feel, the way I look, my skin, my hair, everything. It's obvious it made a huge difference. Not to mention the water. You can, you know, not smell and taste the contaminants in it anymore. But this takes out all of those things, including the forever chemicals, including even things like the stuff they put in the water, like chlorine and fluoride and all this other stuff they put in the water intentionally, Eric, for our benefit. Right. Those things are also highly contaminations and you know, cause cancer. Big, big problems. So it takes out all of those and delivers alkaline water to every faucet in your home, which, you know, a lot of people now are paying like 8, $9. Alkaline water. This is actually going to filter out all the contaminants and convert your water into alkaline, not only at the sink, but at every single faucet when you're bathing in it. You're also getting, you know, alkaline water. No more contamination.
A
It's amazing. Skip. The folks the largest organ in the human body, not your heart, not your brain, it's your skin. And it points out that if there are acceptable levels of fecal matter and carcinogens that we're showering with, that sounds like a recipe for disaster, Skip. So you put one of those, your tank, your water tank so that you can have enough water so more than one people can get a drink of water and shower at a time where it just give a sense. Where do we order this? How do we find you?
B
Skip?
D
Yeah, so first of all, you made a good point. You know, you're going to install this right at your water main. It's a very easy installation. It's just one hose in, one hose out. It's the easiest install ever. And you set it and forget it. There's never any filters to change. Completely maintenance free. This is by far the best options available out there. And I found for the price, you cannot beat it. So I Would definitely recommend that every American household look to put a whole host water filtration system in their home. Like this one. Like the one I use. This one you can find@freedomwatersystems.com this is the Freedom water whole house filtration system. Unbelievably effective. And again the. The difference in the water, Eric, after hooking this up is just remarkable. You won't believe it. You have to actually have it to experience it to believe what I'm saying.
A
We're going to leave it right there, Skip. Really good to have you on, folks. You can use skip26freedomwatersystems.com use free skip26 promo code to let them know you you saw it right here, Skip. Really good to have you on. We'll get. We'll see you again very soon. Thank you, Skip.
D
Hey, thanks Eric. Thanks for having me.
A
All right folks, we will be right back. Well, the new year means new financial goals like making sure your savings are secure and diversified. Will this year be the year you finally listen to me and talk to someone from Birch Gold Group? Let me just stop here for one second folks. If you've been listening to me for a year here, you know we started a year ago this day. One year ago, gold was $2100 an ounce. 2100. We're up 2800, $2700 an ounce between that year now we've doubled in price in gold. I've been telling you for a year, do it. You could double your money by now. Honestly. Birch Gold, great gold people. Great people generally. I appreciate their educational approach and their understanding of macroeconomics. There are forces where pushing the dollar lower and what that does, it pushes gold higher. When that happens, which is why they believe so do I. Every American should own physical gold. So until January 30th, if you're a first time gold buyer, Birch Gold, they offer you a rebate of up to $10,000. 10 grand on qualifying purchases. Claim your eligibility. Start the process. Just text the word America to 989-898. Birch Gold can help you roll an existing IRA or 401K into an IRA in gold and you're still eligible for a rebate of up to ten grand. Make right now your first time to buy gold and take advantage of that rebate of up to $10,000. Not from anyone from Birch Gold Group. When you buy by January 30th, text the word America to 989-898. Claim your eligibility today. One more time. America. Text that word to 989-898. You want won't be sorry. All right, next guest. Always breaking the news. The guy has got a pipeline to breaking news. It's like the, the universe said, hey, let's break some news in the world. Let's get Solomon on the line. He knows he's got so many people here to give us insight on how President Trump was accepted at the World Economic Forum. CEO and editor in chief of just the news. No noise. Always have to have John Solomon back with us. You posted something. Tell us what's going on with Greenland. There's been a lot of movement in Greenland in the last four or five hours. It's the floor is your first.
E
A little breaking news. The House Oversight Committee just found the Clinton's in contempt, recommended a full vote tomorrow. They could be referred for criminal prosecution as early as Friday. How about that?
A
That's a former president we love. Can I just stand on that right there for one second? You and I know how this works, right? So the House, they refuse to show up, they're held in contempt and then they can back channel their way out of any sort of like further.
E
That's right.
A
Unless, unless it gets sent over to the Department of Justice. Will it go from the House to the doj?
E
It will. It will. And there's no goodwill for the Clintons in the DOJ anymore. And so they won't have the hooks, the deep staters that they used to rely on when they smashed their blackberries and hid the email scandal from us or the Russia scandal from us. They're going to, they're going to face, they're going to get abandoned. Abandoned is a verb now. And they're going to get banned and they're going to face real criminal charges. Going to be pretty. Now the big challenge for this Justice Department of these charges need to be made in or taken in D.C. where the Clintons have a chance of beating it with a 95% democrat jury. But it will be, it will be a difficult road ahead for the Clintons after tomorrow.
A
You know they're, this is all centered around their refusal to talk about the Epstein investigation. But it can, when, when these things happen. It can, you can find other things too. Can you can find out what Hillary and, and Bill were doing with some of the money that they were taking for the Clinton foundation, which I think would be a bonanza if they really started to dig into that.
E
We know the FBI had three investigations that got shut down looking at pay to pay corruption. And so yeah, there's a lot of opportunity here and that's probably why the Clintons were unwilling to. One offer they made is we'll sit but there could be no record of it. Well, that's silly. Congress needs a record to investigate. So you know that they're worried about saying things, worried about being caught lying. And this, this Q and A while it was supposed to be about the Epstein documents. Since Epstein was a donor in supporter of the Clinton foundation, there is an opportunity for the committee to have gone to that foundation. And the Clintons just simply don't want to talk about that foundation.
A
Other news, Vance is going to Minneapolis. Pam, Bonnie went to Minneapolis. There's so much breaking news surrounding everything that's going on in there. John, talk to you sent me something last night. I found it fascinating. And you called it. This looks like Christopher Steele 2.0. And you know right about that. Tell us what that's all about.
E
Well, remember that a British spy, a foreigner hired by the Clinton campaign concocted and drove a large part of the fake Russia collusion investigation which we now know there wasn't an iota of credible evidence that Donald Trump colluded with Russia or Russia colluded with Donald Trump in 16. Well after that got exposed, took three years for us to get the truth. Chris Wray, the FBI director at the time said, all right, looks bad. We're going to fix it. No more foreign influence, no more politically biased informants. And we will make sure that informants don't talk about their secret relationship with the FBI if they're an informant.
A
Because.
E
Because Christopher Steele ultimately was fired because he was telling people he was working secretly for the FBI, which violated his confidential human source agreement. Well, fast forward to three years later. The same Chris Wray FBI, they hire a overtly anti Trump source, a group of researchers that are called the sedition hunters. You just have to read their Twitter site. You'll understand they hate Donald Trump. Two, they have lots of foreigners in this group. In fact, the very work that the FBI was paying sedition hunters to do was being done in Great Britain using software that was at least being implemented there. Facial recognition software to track down the identities of J6 defendants and suspects. And sedition hunters openly talked about the fact that they were working with the FBI. So the same three things that happened with Christopher Seale, foreign tinge, anti Trump bias, overtly talking about something that's supposed to be confidential. This group did it, these members did it. And to add a little bit of mystery to didn't matter. The FBI paid these guys $150,000 at least. It may be more, but at least $150,000. Cash Patel telling us last night after we dug up these documents that this was an inappropriate confidential human source relationship. The agents who supervise it have been terminated and they're doing an audit to find if there's anyone else they should hold accountable. And they're going to make sure in the future that politically biased, foreign, confidential human sources who boast about what they're doing won't be in the employment of the FBI in the future.
A
Interesting. I'm old enough to remember when this went down with Christopher Steele. They used the fake document. Steele was basically making stuff up. They used it as evidence. They brought it to the FISA court. And the FISA court gave them a warrant to spy on Donald Trump, the candidate in 2016, and Trump Tower. Fast forward to this. So my question here, John, is, is Cash Patel, Pam Bondi, Cash Patel, Are they going to go after the FISA court? Because it seems to me that this FISA court is really biased against all things Trump. And maybe you clean that up, maybe some of the law firm, some of the BS that's been going on would stop. Yeah.
E
So this one didn't go through the FISA court because it wasn't a foreign intelligence matter. It was just a domestic police matter. By the way, here's the most bizarre thing, and I think Congress is going to be asking this question. The FBI had contractors that they could have turned to, to do facial recognition. There are US Companies that do it. You can contract it. The reason they probably didn't want that is because that contract would be in the contract database. So here, if you do it as a confidential human source agreement, it's never going to get disclosed that the FBI was using facial recognition to find these people. So I think there's a concern about contracting, about transparency. There could be a criminal referral that comes out of this as a result of it. The FISA court wasn't involved in this one.
A
If I may, if I may. But there could be a criminal referral. We've had criminal. Where we've had, you know, subpoenas to Vary Comey and Brendan. I mean, Chris Wray would be a prime candidate. Maybe John Bolton. I'm thinking, what about Chris Wray? I mean, is he complicit in some of this stuff?
E
Knowing we're gonna have to look at his testimony, we're gonna have a story tomorrow comparing his testimony and promises to what happened here. It is highly unlikely that Chris Wray would not have known that this informant agreement existed. Jack Smith knew about it. Jack Smith, who's going to testify tomorrow. He, his staff approved one of the payments, one of the $20,000 payments. So, yeah, I think there's a lot of avenues here for criminal liability or investigation. Was this an end round around protecting Americans biometrics? Because when you use facial recognition, you have to be more careful under civil liberties law. Was this just an effort to get taxpayer money to a group that would use its social media account to create a narrative that would build an argument for indicting Donald Trump? That's one of the theories that the Cash Patel team has. There's a lot of fallout from this yet to come. The discovery of the documents is really the first domino on FISA reform, though. You're right over the target, Eric, as you always are. Congress is doing markups today and this week, Senate Judiciary Committee, House Judiciary Committee, to do some significant reforms and curtail the FBI's ability to spy on Americans. Who FISA, they'll always spy on foreigners. But there could be some new protections working their way through the House if Republicans have the courage. The bill is out there. Whether they have enough votes to pass it, we'll see.
A
Courage, courage, Republicans. Courage often lacking. We got to go, John. Very quickly, Trump alluded to making an announcement about replacing Jerome Powell. I'm going to go with Scott Besant. He's not even kind of on the list. You want to make a guess? You're well connected. You want to make a guess?
E
I haven't done a lot of reporting. I know. He said that Kevin Hassett would be too important to lose. We may not. Bassett makes some sense. Although Bassin is such an important negotiator, it may be someone we're not thinking about. That'd be my guess. Someone's gonna bet you.
A
I was gonna bet you dinner. Loser. Loser buys dinner. And I don't know.
E
I'll do that anyways because I love your show, buddy.
A
Next time in December. We'll do it either way, John. John Solomon, folks. Editor in chief. Just the news, no noise. Great, great pipeline to all things breaking news. Thank you, John.
E
Thank you, my friend. Good to be with you.
A
We'll be back. Two and a half minutes, folks. He's about to pull over. Well, after some drama with Air Force One, which had to make a U turn, turn around and head back to D.C. after a reported electrical issue with the plane, the President finally made his way to the World Economic Forum in Davos to show the world who's who told. Show those globalists, in fact, what Trump is thinking. And as expected, President Donald John Trump delivered.
B
It's great to be back in beautiful Davos, Switzerland, and to address so many respected business leaders, so many friends, few enemies, and all of the distinguished guests and so who's who. I will say that the consensus was that so called dirty jobs and heavy industry should be sent elsewhere. That affordable energy should be replaced by the Green News scam. And that countries could be propped up by importing new and entirely different populations from faraway lands. The Green News scam. Perhaps the greatest hoax in history. The Green News scam. Windmills all over the place. Destroy your land. Destroy your land. Every time that goes around, you lose $1,000. You're supposed to make money with energy, not lose money. Quite frankly, many parts of our world are being destroyed before our very eyes. And the leaders don't even understand what's happening. Certain places in Europe are not even recognizable, frankly, anymore. They're not recognizable and we can argue about it, but there's no argument. Friends come back from different places. I don't want to insult anybody and say I don't recognize it. And that's not in a positive way, that's in a very negative way. And I love Europe and I want to see Europe go good, but it's not heading in the right direction. The situation in Minnesota reminds us that the west cannot mass import foreign cultures which have failed to ever build a successful society of their own. Emmanuel Macron. I watched him yesterday with those beautiful sunglasses. What the hell happened? They have a choice. You can say yes and we will be very appreciative, or you can say no and we will remember.
A
The President delivered his America first message against the backdrop of a litany of typical World Economic Forum banter. As always, we've got the receipts. We shouldn't at all be surprised that known globalist Mark Carney got a standing ovation after he touted their favorite lines and phrases together. Cooperation. And of course, the New World Order made yet another appearance in Carney's speech. We understand that this rupture calls for more than adaptation.
F
It calls for honesty about the world as it is.
E
We are taking the sign out of the window. We know the old order is not coming back.
A
We shouldn't mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy.
F
But we believe that from the fracture.
A
We can build something bigger, better, stronger, more just. This is the task of the middle powers, the countries that have the most.
F
To lose from a world of fortresses.
E
And most to gain from genuine cooperation. The powerful have their power, but we have Something, too.
A
The capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home and to act together.
E
That is Canada's path.
A
So if you ever hear New World Order or global digital currency, two different phrases, run for the hills. It's all about controlling you and me, not them. You and me. Yeah, don't worry. After last week, we were very clear on what Canada's path is right now. Bending the knee to Europe and joining forces with the Chinese Communist Party. Perfect match, really picking up right where Justin Trudeau left off. Oh, poor Justin broke up with Katy Perry. It's also not surprising that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, well, he's heading to China as well to make very nice with the Communists. Fitting, since Keir Starmer garners zero respect from anybody, let alone his own citizens, who, by the way, have to worry about posting online or they might get sent to jail for what they post online. Look at how quickly they show their true colors. Look at how quickly they run to China when America shows a strong hand. Good luck with that partnership. By the way, CURE in Canada, UK partnering with China just to stick it to President Trump. Nice to see that Trump derangement Syndrome thrives well beyond our own liberal borders. The president made sure to make his opinion about Canada's Mark Carney at WEF too. Watch.
B
Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way. They should be grateful also. But they're not. I watch your prime minister yesterday. He wasn't so grateful that they should be grateful to us. Canada. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements.
A
They should be grateful to us. He's damn right. Look, last year when the World Economic Forum took place, they tried to predict what could be coming with another Trump presidency. This year, they have a pretty good picture if this first year has been any indication at all. Regardless of what happens with Greenland, this much I definitely know. This much is very clear. Through the whole process, we've been able to see the truth about these countries. Canada, European countries, these places are so happy to dish it out about America while they censor any voices online inside their own countries that they don't like, suppress election results that they don't like. But they know that without American support, they would be nowhere near where they are now, nowhere near as safe as they are right now. And some of these European comrades are still willing to acknowledge that that fact. And here's my question to the audience. I mean, many of you I know criticize Donald Trump, but do you really think that is how Donald Trump. Eight big economies in Europe, including Spain and Italy and Belgium, Canada, by the way, also outside Europe, would have come to 2% in 2025 when they were only on 1.5% at the beginning of the year. No way. Without Donald Trump, this would never have happened. They're all on 2% now. Do you really think that in the summit in the Hague, as already Alex was saying. Sorry, the president of Finland was saying.
D
That you've said earlier that Europe can defend itself without the Americans if it comes down.
A
Not exact mics. That's not a quote.
D
More or less.
A
We'll go back to the transcript. More or less.
D
More or less.
A
I love journalists and that really is the hook here. Europe can't. NATO can't defend itself without the United States cooperation. Our money really. And we can definitely see what a potential Gavin Newsom presidency would look like with him showing just how much he hates his own country, that he would actually go there and encourage Europe to stand up to our president. Luckily, Scott Besant had absolutely zero issue with slapping him around right in front of the audience. Newsom is trying so hard to get in good with.
E
I think it's very, very.
A
Ironic that.
E
You know, Governor Newsom, who strikes me as Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken.
D
May be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris.
E
He's here this week with his billionaire.
A
Sugar daddy, Alex Soros.
E
And the Davos is a perfect place.
A
For a man who when everyone else.
D
Was on lockdown, when he was having people arrested for going to church, he.
A
Was having thousand dollar a night meals at the French Laundry.
E
And I'm sure the California people won't forget that. And I can tell my message to.
A
Governor Newsom is the Trump administration is coming to California. We are going to crack down on waste, fraud and abuse. Oh well, Greenland, of course, has taken a large chunk of the conversation in Davos. But something that strikes me is this. The prevailing theme is that these globalists seem panicked and desperate. The neutered so called Davos man thinks he's going to find solutions to the world's problems over filet mignon in the luxurious Swiss Alps. They're talking about how to control AI for their benefit. They, they're still talking about a climate crisis that doesn't exist, but somehow no mention of Iran. Where's the mention of how to deal with the growing threat of radical Islam? Everywhere, including in your own home, in within Europe. Europeans, they're so obsessed with America's growth, which only serves the whole Western world, by the way. But where is the mention of one of the greatest sources of geopolitical instability? That's because much like the other useless organizations like the UN and the world health organizations, that's not really what they're about. It's always about control. And folks, tomorrow and Friday we'll bring you some of the greatest hits to come out of the World Economic Forum. Yes, they're still obsessed with climate change, except now they've rebranded it weather change because they realize the other one wasn't working, just like global warming wasn't working. And yes, they still want to set all the rules and guidelines all for the world, including what we can say online. Yes, they do want to create a new world order. Confirmed yet again. Run for the hills, folks. We'll be back. Two and a half minutes.
C
Minnesota's headlines are getting wild. Tim Walls and Ilhan Omar are being accused of massive fraud. And it's so bad, all you can.
A
Do is laugh at this point. So from Real America's Music, the label.
C
That brought you the number one hit.
A
Anthem of the Free, comes a brand.
C
New song from singer songwriter Natasha Owens, the Somali Waltz.
A
Let's make the music industry mad and run this to number one. Scan the QR code or search the.

A
Dancing to the Somali Waltz and coming soon to a st near you new name saved you the Somali wants. All right, so while the President gives the globalists and ivory tower clowns in Davos a taste of what he really means when he says that America is heading into the golden age, CNN thought it was somehow a good idea to have children come on their channel to downright slander Trump and defame him here at home. I am appreciative that the President is being transparent about this.
F
I would love it if he was.
A
More transparent about the human sex trafficking network that he was a part of. But you can't win them all. Cameron's grateful that the President is being transparent about the Nobel Peace Prize and his desires for Greenland. Scott, what do you think about that? You're going to let that sit? Are we going to claim here on CNN that the President is part of.
F
A global sex trafficking ring or.
A
Well, I mean, again, we're going to talk about the FC files. Scott, I will do the fact checking as we go along here. Repeat what you said about the global sex trafficking ring, that Donald Trump was provably very involved with it. Okay, we'll get to that later. I mean, Donald Trump has never been charged with Any crimes in relation to Jeffrey Epstein.
B
But.
F
Yeah, but, but let's be.
B
We'll talk.
A
We'll talk about that.
D
Serious.
A
Satisfied? Now answer the question about Greenland. Do you think you know, just like David Hogg. Remember that kid, that guy, that child. Cameron Caskey is his name. He's a survivor, a survivor of the Parkland School shooting, which now somehow makes him some sort of viable pundit to the folks over at cnn. Well, Cameron's. Find out quickly that you just can't say anything you want to and took the X to say, and I'm quoting, I would like to retract my comments from CNN last night and truly apologize. Donald Trump was obviously not involved with a giant international child sex trafficking ring where women and children were systemically abused by elites. I said that by accident. You mean after years? Asked three or four times. Three times. What was it? John Brennan, Anyway. All right, I don't even want to react to this one. Next one. This level of admiration on the left for New York City Mayor Zorin Mamdani is actually nauseating. The guy is the far left, as far left goes. The things he's saying he can do, he can't actually can't even do. And if he can, they're trying to be destructive to the city, but Whoopi thinks the guy is the savior of the world. You know, it's really nice to have you here. You make sense. Thank you. Yeah, well, because it's important, you know, and you know, Joy has given you marching orders and that's very important. But I just want to say, listen, if you can do what you say you can do, you will not only remake the city, but you may help remake the nation. Yeah, okay. All right. Mom, Donnie. Whoopi loves it. They're all communists anyways, socialists, whatever you want to call them. And of course, it's no surprise that Mamdani is hot on getting rid of ice. So when he's asked about it on the View, the so called future of the Democrat Party goes on a leftist propaganda rant inciting violence against are federal agents. Yet again, I am in support of abolishing ice, and I'll tell you why. Because what we, What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people, no matter their immigration status, no matter the facts of the law, no matter the facts of the case. And I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life. Communists. Communists. Get rid of. Abolish. They want to abolish police five years ago. Now they want to abolish. They're nuts. Like I said yesterday, these Democrats just have zero respect for the Constitution, for this country, for our values. They continue to insist that terrorizing a Sunday church service in the name of your insurrection seems to be perfectly fine on their account. I am appreciative that the President is being transparent about this.
F
I would love it if he was.
A
More transparent about the human sex trafficking trafficking network that he was a part of. But you can't win them all. Camera's grateful that the President is being transparent about the Nobel Peace Prize and his desires for Greenland. Scott, what do you think about that? You're going to let that sit?
F
We're going to claim here on CNN.
A
That the President is part of a global sex trafficking ring or. Well, I mean, we're going to talk, we're going to talk about the FC file. Scott, I will do the fact checking. I'm just. As we go along here, repeat what you said about the global sex trafficking ring, that Donald Trump was provably very involved with it. Okay, we'll get to that later. I mean, Donald Trump has never been charged with any crime and we did talk about that one already. All right, folks, here's a hard truth about the moment in history we're living in right now. Most institutions don't deserve your trust anymore. Universities protect ideology, not truth. Governments protect themselves, not truth, not citizens. And media protects their corporate bought and paid for narratives, not reality. That's the gap the edge was built to fill. The place where trust still means something. Trust that the conversations are real, not fake, premeditated clickbait. Trust that the guests earned their seat not paid for relevance. Trust that pressure, not politics, is the filter we use with every episode. Trust that you get the most cutting edge guests, technology and science that will enhance your chances for success in an unforgiving world. And the response? Undeniable.

Let me talk to you about trust, just for a second. Because trust has become the most rare currency we have left. You can't trust academia anymore. Just look at Harvard. You can't really trust government narratives anymore. Democrats protect criminals at the expense of citizens. Just look at Minneapolis. And let's be honest. You definitely, definitely cannot trust most of the mainstream media anymore. Mostly peaceful. Need I say more? Spin has replaced truth. Access replaced accountability.

Bannon on a day that's so important, with so much going on globally. Mr. Bannon, Mr. Bannon, Davos. It really Trump speech this morning. Altered world markets himself, few words, altered world markets. What are your thought thoughts on what happened today?
F
Well, Eric, you're a guy that was in the pitch. You've traded for years. You came out of investment banking and trading. You know, the president, you talk about trust. They trust the president when he says, hey, I'm going to, I'm going to get a framework. I'm going to get this thing done. Don't worry about this. All this hype about the military aspects. People run around in circles with the hair on fire. And what happened. He came out of the first meeting, he said the overall framework and of course, the markets took off. Like I said on the morning show, Eric, this thing, this was a black and white speech. It was a bifurcation. If you're a globalist, you think Trump came in as a total gangster, right? And gave a gangster speech. If you're a nationalist, a populist nationalist throughout the world, you think this was Pericles at Athens, right? That's how good it was. So it's been a heck, it's been a heck of a day. It's been a heck of a day for the president.
A
I will tell you. I watched markets go from substantially lower to substantially higher in a matter of minutes. When Trump said, you know, we weren't, we're not considering using force to take Greenland. And you know, Steve, whether or not you and I know, because we've been doing this quite a long time, there are a lot of young people on Wall street and they were jumping out of their trades, worrying about some sort of global World War three happening. You and I both know it was, it was going to be Trump using leverage, using financial leverage, because we are the great consumer of the world and he knows how to use that. We saw that. But, but they didn't. And, you know, it's kind of, kind of funny to watch how, how wrong they can be about Trump. It's not.
F
No, no, it's amazing you say that because, remember, Scott Bessant went over there. Scott Besant was like the Beastmaster, a beachmaster. He went over a couple of days early, like in Normandy to clear the beach. And Trump comes in like Patton to go take the Reich. Remember what Scott Besson said. Scott, you and I have talked about a lot. We've been dealing with the Trump trade, the America first trade. You know, come into America, buy bonds, buy stocks, buy equities, put, put the, the big beautiful bill, the, the massive tax Depreciation is to invest here. The trade tariffs are a forcing function to get people to trade here. In 48 hours, they went to a Sell America trade. Remember, that's what Monday was all about. Monday and Tuesday were all about to Sell America. And President Trump just laid hands on it and made sure people weren't running around with their hair and fire. He also said, correct me if I'm wrong, because you're more of a markets guy than I am. I'm more on the investment banking side. But didn't he say, eric, we're going to double, we're going to double the Dow Jones Industrial Average or the NAS in a couple of years? All I know, all I know is that I'm sure some people are out there looking for out of the money calls on the market because of that.
A
Sir, I will tell you, he, he did have that, that story he told about Switzerland. When the Prime Minister of Switzerland called him, say, hey, Mr. Trump, you can't, you can't put 31% tax on fee tariff on us. And he said, you're doing 60% with us. We can't do 31. And she said, we're, we're a small country. And he said, he said, she rubbed me wrong. So I hung up the phone and made it 30 and that threatened to make it 70%. And the reason why I say this, Steve, is because there's a thing that guys on Wall Street, I talk to these guys every day, they call it the taco trade. Trump always chickens out. Taco, it's B.S. you know what he's doing, he talks in platitudes, he talks in this is your potential risk. And then he works the room quietly. You call it taco if you want, but the reality is it's effective.
F
I think part of that, that's what I said about this Switzerland and Macron and Carney, he called Carney right out to his face, said, hey, look, we're defending you guys before you, no more smack talk or you'll regret that. That was, I think, the gangster part. That's, I think, I think the EU guys took it as the gangster part. President Trump came in there, but he's not, you know, he's not messing around. He does this for, you know, fires for effect a lot. He knows what he's doing. He's a master negotiator. And hey, the proof's in the pudding. He came out, everybody's working together. They came out in a couple hours after is really his first bilat on this in the AT least they said terms agreed or a framework for a deal. I'm sure we'll get more details. Of course, we strongly recommend that President Trump stop by Greenland on his way back from. From Davos tomorrow. I think that'd be a great. I think it'd be a great end to the trip.
A
It's amazing. Steve, we only have a little time. Your show is coming up, but tell the folks how important Greenland is. If you don't know what it is, folks, look at the map. I mean, you have North America right here. You have Greenland, which separates Russia. You put gold, you put the golden dome in Greenland. Wow. Are we much safer from any sort of lunatics in Russia that has eyes on the prize.
F
Plus the submarines. The Greenland, Iceland, UK gap is very important for our submarines. Plus, as you know, that we talk about all the time, the Arctic is the great game of the 21st century. And that's why you got Alaska one side, now Greenland the other, Canada in the middle. We're going to have to work something out with Carney.
A
Eric Bolling. Steve, go get it, brother. Appreciate your time.
F
Thank you, brother. Love doing the handover. Thank you, sir.
A
Me, too.
F
We're not gonna have a cold open. I have a very special guest and I want to get into.

This is an I heart podcast, guaranteed human.
