I ring that bell. There it is. 4 o' clock, Wall Street. Very, very odd kind of day on Wall street, folks. I, I can't even really explain. It's called a mixed market usually when they do this, but Dow Jones down 4, 409 points. 409 points down. Nasdaq up 215 points as I go up, thousands down. Now there's some earnings that came out in some of the tech stocks all week they're going to be doing that but generally they don't see that big of a disparity between the, the Dow Jones and the Nasdaq. S P was up, up a bit. Oil, not such great news today. $1.72 over $62 a barrel. It's trending in the wrong direction. This will hurt inflation, this will hurt prices going forward. And I tell you a very, very odd thing going on right now. Silver was making gold and silver have been making, just ripping both, both in the same direction. Last night they both backed off a little. Silver stayed lower on below unchanged. It's down for the day. Gold up $72 an ounce. So gold is like on its own path of destruction. Call or, or higher prices. And gold now 5150, $5150 an ounce. We've been talking, like I said, begin one year ago today, 2800. So it's up $2300, almost 100% in one year. And crypto just cannot figure this one out either. Just dead in the water. Bitcoin up a little bit. Up, up a touch. So we'll keep an eye on all these things. A lot of interesting news coming out. There's going to be a Fed decision on whether to move interest rates tomorrow on Wednesday, usually right around 2 o'. Clock. The vast majority of people think interest rates will stay the same. Trump wants them down. I think we can go lower. They should go lower. But, but oil creeping up doesn't help that case. When oil creeps up, it pushes inflation up. And what the Fed tends to do is inflation higher. They tend to raise interest rates. We want interest rates lower. I will tell you something. Trump was talking about the dollar just in Iowa and he says the dollar's doing great. It's not the dollar is getting smoked. The dollar's just falling off the end of the table. So the dollar keeps going down, it pushes prices up, pushes gold up, pushes things up like that. So that's kind of how things stand right now. Very interesting. Kind of bifurcated markets, so to speak. All right. Something we've been talking about. New year means new financial goals like making sure your savings are secure and diversify. Will this be the year finally, finally that you listen to me and talk to someone from Birch Gold Group about gold? Honestly, they're great people. I appreciate their educational approach and their understanding of macroeconomics. We talk about it with Philip Patrick right here all the time on this network. There are forces pushing the dollar lower I just told you about. It's falling off the edge of the table. When that happens, gold goes higher, which is why I believe, and they believe every American should own physical gold. So until January 30, a few days from now, if you're a first time gold buyer, Birch Gold, they're offering a rebate of up to $10,000 on qualifying purchases. To claim eligibility and start the process, just text the word America America to 989-898 on your text. Birch Gold can help you roll an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold and, and you're still eligible for a rebate of up to $10,000. You're just taking your money's already invested. You just move it into gold with Birch and you can get the rebate of up to ten grand. Make right now your first time to buy gold and take advantage of a rebate of $10,000. But you got to buy by January 30th. A few days from now, text America to 989-898, claim your eligibility today. And again, one more time, text that word America to 9898-9898. All right, let's bring in Brian Glenn who is, you know, he anytime you need to know what's going on with Trump with the White House, you bring in Brian Glenn because he's on top of all that. Brian, really good to have you, my friend. Let's start before we get to Minneapolis, in Minnesota in general and in general, our immigration policies, let's just talk about what, what Trump has got on the schedule today in Iowa. Tell us about it.
C
Well, it seems like he's back on messaging about the economy coming off the World Economic Forum. Now, last fall they did tease that once we got into this new year, President Trump was going to start making these weekly what I call economic mini rallies. And that's exactly what he's doing today in Clive, interesting timing on all of this. As we get into this Q1 of 2026, we start to see some of the economic reports come out. Obviously, we've seen inflation adjust considerably to what it was under Joe Biden. And he's got the message that, you know, with, with the tariffs, with the game plan that he has like this, particularly in Iowa, if we put that Iowa is a key state, obviously a key State in 28, the presidential election. So I think the timing of this and the location for this particular messaging is ideal right now as we go into what would be, I think, a great booming year, economically speaking under the Trump administration.
A
Yeah. No question that whatever he's doing or what, whether it's his, to his credit or not, the markets are responding very, very well with what's going on. No doubt about it. And getting back to the economy is always a wise thing to do, certainly in a, in an election cycle and an off presidential cycle where you have a lot of risk losing House and, and Senate votes. Typically that's what happens in any president, any midterm, you know, election cycle. But the overwhelming interest, the overwhelming eyeballs right now across all genres, doesn't matter if it's evening news, broadcast news, kitchen table. People want to know what the hell is going on in Minnesota. And I will tell you, Brian, that there's the, there's a good portion of the base maga, the people who, that Jacob Fry, Tim Walls, Elon Omar and Keith Ellison, who've called terrorists, who called us Nazis, they've called us all the worst things you can possibly call us, including Trump too. But now it feels like there's. Is removing Bovino. Do you think, and do you think that, okay, it takes the temperature down, but at what cost?
C
Brian Holman will be able to communicate with the people there on the ground. He's, he's worked under several presidents with the border, so he's very aware of a lot of people that currently work in ICE and on the border security. But I'm with you. The base wants to see accountability for what's been going on. And I know that if this would have been the Biden administration and we would have seen violence erupt around the country with conservatives kind of maybe what we considered on January 6, Eric, they went after us, they rounded everybody up that had anything to do with January 6th. And so the base right now is wanting some type of accountability. And if you look at the signal chat that they had, that had not only the, I believe the lieutenant governor there of Minnesota even involved in that, they had members of media as well in that chat to somehow, you know, figure out where we're going to be and how do you, how do you combat These ICE agents, the base wants accountability. And I think the timing for something to happen is now. Now, will we see an insurrection act, Eric? Will we see President Trump enact that and bring law and order back to the streets of Minneapolis? Because right now it's chaotic. And Eric, look, we're just normal people. We're just normal guys. I'm getting violence fatigue. I'm getting chaos fatigue right now. I'm tired of seeing it every single day, and no one seems to be held accountable or at least dragged off of jail. Yes, they are arresting some of these protesters, as they should, but it's much higher than that. I think we need to focus in on that.
A
I did a monologue yesterday at the end of the show about this isn't really, for me. It's not about what's going on in Minneapolis on the streets. It's about the reason this is happening. I believe the reason it's happening is because Mayor Jacob Fry and Tim Wall's governor are in the crosshairs. Not. Not literally like gunshot crosshairs in the crosshairs of the Department of justice. Because $9 billion slipped through their fingers right under their noses. And if there's any sort of coordinated, I don't know, looking the other way, knowing what's going on because they wanted to keep that Somali vote, those two could be in jail. And I really, really think they could be prosecuted. I just think we start pulling in, pulling out threads on the sweater, this sweater would eventually unravel. And I realized that they riled up their base. They riled up their people in Minnesota. The white liberal lunatics that want to somehow pretend that they're, you know, looking out for the Somalians and black and brown people. They riled those folks up to cause what's going on on that in the streets of Minneapolis to divert attention from the real issue here. $9 billion stolen from the people of Minnesota taxpayer, by the way. And I don't want them let off the hook at any cost, Brian. And I think that's. This is the problem. Like, someone is saying, let's tone it down in Minneapolis so that everyone feels better, but I just don't want Walls, that lunatic, that. That piece of garbage, corrupt son of a. And. And Jacob Fry, who I don't even know what to call that guy. I want them to work. That's it. I'm really adamant about it. I apologize to Grandstand here for a.
C
Minute saying what the American people feel right now, and that's why it's so important that we have shows like yours and, and the fact that we can come on and talk about this and you know what, we're going to be talking about Maine before too long. That has been described as a mini Mogadishu, if you will. The same type of fraud that's, that's being committed right now in Minnesota is happening in Maine and it's also happening down in Texas. The HB1 visas that have been under, you know, undercovered, discovered, I should say in North Texas particularly. We are fleeced, Eric. We are giving illegal immigrants and immigrants to this country. They are fleecing us by US tax dollars in the loads of billions of dollars. And it's something that people like you and I, once again, people watching this program, they're pissed off. They're pissed off. They want to see their money put in place, stay here in the US and not go to some foreign country, which is a whole different conversation. But you're right, we want accountability. And for Governor Waltz, which by the way, if he had a great phone call, which President Trump describes a positive phone call, that's not the Tim Waltz we've been seeing on left leaning TV shows. Trashing Trump, trashing ice, trashing immigration officials, pushing back on them, calling people to push back on them. So I want to know what Tim Waltz, which one was on the, on the phone.
A
I just want to know what he got, I want to know what he got to say. Stand down. Minneapolis, I'm sorry, Minnesota National Guard get involved and help Iceland. He got something. He got a deal somewhere. And so did Fry. And I just, I just, I'm just praying it's not some sort of look the other way or go easy on them by the Department of Justice. Brian, I got to go. Appreciate your time. Thank you for jumping in and we'll see you again very soon. Thank you.
C
Yes, sir. Thanks, Eric.
A
Hi, folks. I want to show you something real quick that's very, very real. That's President Trump's X account right, right there. And yes, it says, follows you, Eric Bolling. I don't brag. I'm not bringing up to brag. I bring it up because attention at that level is earned. Not asked for the edges in the political show at all. It's where pressure, performance and truth meet without filters, without talking points. We're sitting just about 150 subscribers short from busting right through that 10,000 subscriber milestone. 10,000 strong. Not a gimmick number, not a vanity number, a signal that something real is being built at the edge. Look, if the president of the United States can decide. I'm worth following. You can decide if this conversation we're having at the Edge is worth hearing. Subscribe to the Edge. All you have to do is point your phone, point your camera to the QR code right there and hit that yellow line that comes across. Never going to charge you a penny for any of it. Or go to YouTube and type in Eric Bolling and the Edge. You got to be both of them. Eric Bolling in the Edge. So subscribe. We're building something worthy of Trump's time and your time. I respect how valuable your time is. I promise I won't waste your time. We'll be back in two and a half minutes. All right, folks, our next guest is our own rev host of Breaking Point, David Zier, who is in Iowa with President Trump. David, we saw Trump arrive, have some little, little back and forth with some of the folks. Tell us what's going on now. What do we, what do we expect to hear?
D
Hey, Eric, Trump left the machine shed according to last word. It's a popular chain here in the Midwest. I love their fried curds there. By the way, don't tell my doctor, but we're here at the Horizon Center. We got about a thousand people here waiting for Trump. He should be here within a couple of minutes. And he's embarking on pretty much an informal kickoff to travel around the country in support of key mid term races here, specifically here, Zach Nunn is a toss up, according to Charlie Cook, and he's in the third district right here. And the first District Congressman, Marionette Miller Meeks, also vulnerable. Southeast and Iowa a little more to the left down there. Her issue is getting E15 to the market, getting funding for Congress for it, for energy efficient fuel benefiting the farmers and the corn growers here and the ethanol producers. And Zach Nunn running on affordability, he has a Campus Housing Affordability Act, a Rural Housing act, streamlining USDA programs to help people fix houses up, build new construction, help low income people, farmers and senior citizens here. But this is really important. You lose those two races, Eric, you might, you might lose Congress because you can only afford to lose four at this point, right?
A
Yeah, well, you know, it depends on what happens with redistricting. And that's still kind of up for grabs right now. So, yeah, the message has to be get back onto the economy. I assume the economy is going to be the main message that he wants to hit home this in this rally and others.
D
Yeah, he's going to continue to do that across the country. Here, you know, the best case scenario for Republicans, according to Cook, is that they'll pick up 11 seats. But every poll, the last 130 poll releases, the real clear politics have shown the Democrats between four and six seat advantage here. And I know, you know, the lawsuit's pending. The Supreme Court case about the Voting Rights act and other redistricting efforts may benefit the Republicans, but Trump has on its side now. This year, people will benefit from no tax on tips, overtime, Social Security savings kicking in here. Thousand dollar contributions for the Trump, you know, account here, inflation going away, wages are up, GDP is at over 5% from what I'm hearing right now. And there's a lot of variables here in Iowa. Kim Reynolds not running for governor again. And also the senator, Joni Ernst is not running again as well. And Ashley Hinson's running for that seat and Congressman Randy Feature is running for governor. It's the first time in 58 years that this has happened, happened. A lot of dynamics going on here in Iowa. And you know, Trump, Eric Trump built an incredible machine here in 2016. 2020, 2024. Nine years of data mining, the precinct captain, they came out in droves last time. And that's primarily who's in the room here, people who worked on the campaign, a lot of familiar faces, spent a lot of time on the ground for RAV here. There again, they're motivated. And we'll see in this off year, with Trump not running on the ticket, what kind of influence will have on the midterms? Will it have an effect?
A
Well, he has to because the vast majority of MAGA base still wants trust. Trump would love to see him do a third term. You know, you talk to Steve Bannon, maybe there is a third term, but whatever. I digress. But what's the sense if, if it's not going to be Donald Trump, you know, then who, who, who, who do the folks on the ground there think should be holding the MAGA mantle?
D
Well, the latest polling I've seen is J.D. vance is in the, you know, front runner as far as the polling goes. I haven't talked to locals here how they feel about that. I bet it parallels the national sampling as well. Marco Rubio, popular and others, you know, as well here. And this, this crowd, you know, they're coming out of a bad time for the last five years. And I think they're optimistic that things are going to get better. And I guess the big question is, will it have enough effect by the time these midterms happen, primaries only six months away, the Democrats are starting to drop off the primary ballots here so the Democrats will have a unified message and not have contentious races. Two people dropped out the other day here. A lot going on in Iowa here. And you remember, Trump won every county here in the Iowa caucus except for one, Johnson County. And I think Haley only won by one vote or a couple of votes in that race as well. And he won by 13 here in 2024, even though the Des Moines Register said I think he was going to lose by a couple of points. So we turned everything on a tear. And I think Trump will be a factor at least.
A
Yeah. It should be interesting tonight to see if he stays on message with the economy. I think that's what people really want to hear across the country. Or if he, you know, kind of veers off into, you know, he's just, he goes off script. If he veers off to what into what's going on in Minneapolis and Minnesota. Kind of hope he stays on message with the economy. That honestly, the economy is what's going to win or lose the election, the midterm elections for us, the House, certainly not what's going on in Minnesota. But a lot of people, their attention has, you know, is obviously on, on that, that state in that city. David's here. Good to have you. Appreciate your time. Thank you.
D
Thank you, Eric.
A
All right, folks, this is what happens when people at the top levels of government, and here I'm talking about almost every single Democrat politician in power, when they compare ICE to the Gestapo and when they compare the deportations to the Holocaust, that messages carried down and spread far and wide.
C
I understand that. But they take people to Fort Snelling here, which literally was built as a.
A
Concentration camp, and Alligator Alcatraz, which I.
C
Think we can all agree is a concentration camp. Not saying they're Dachau.
D
I'm not saying they're putting people in.
C
Ovens yet, but these are concentration camps.
A
Okay, I, I don't need to argue with, you know. Yeah, you gotta say, what are you doing, Jake Tapper? What are you doing? You put that clown on. You put people in ovens. Concentration camp. Can you get a little serious and do a little serious journalism over at CNN, please? Interesting play here by CNN's Casey Hunt. Who is it? Casey or Cassie? I don't even know Cassie Hunt, who uses a tweet from Charlie Kirk back in 2018 to essentially condone citizens use of guns against ICE agents.
B
I want to bring back a tweet from Charlie Kirk in 2018. He says this, the Second Amendment is not for hunting. It's not for self protection. It is there to ensure that free people can defend themselves if, God forbid, government became tyrannical and turned against its citizens.
A
And I think a lot of people.
B
Are pointing to this because, I mean, what, what we saw in the streets.
A
So there is this juxtaposition, let's be honest. I mean, to be really, really transparent here, Kyle Rittenhouse, you brought a gun to a protest, right? And listen, if that guy brought the gun and brandished it, he deserves what he got. Just bringing the gun to the protest. I'm, I'm a Second Amendment advocate. You can bring a gun to a protest. You're allowed to. The Constitution specifically put it, the founding fathers put it into the Constitution for that reason, not to defend yourself in your home, to protect against the tyrannical government. So of course you can bring a gun to a protest. Just don't pull it out when you're being detained by ice. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshears joins a long line of Democrats looking to smear ICE agents. And he does it on cnn, of course.
B
What are you going to do if and when a massive ICE operation is launched in Kentucky?
A
Well, the first thing we have to.
C
Do is demand that they pull these.
A
Officers out of all of our cities and that they fully retrain every single one of them. They are operating with aggressive tactics that.
C
Are not appropriate for law enforcement. They are not following our Constitution.
A
One more. Let's just pause and take a moment for Oscar winning actress Natalie Portman, who shed some tears on the red carpet for her fellow countrymen and women countrymen who died at the hands of Hamas on October 7th. And also the thousands of protesters in Iran who've died at the hands of the terrorist regime that runs that country. It's.
B
Sorry, I'm getting emotional because it's, it's really been, it's such a horrible day. It's been a horrible week. It's very joyful to be at a film festival and in a creative community celebrating film together.
A
Ah, but wait one second. Why are you crying, Natalie?
B
But what is happening in our country is just obscene. And what Trump and Kristi Noem and ICE are doing to our citizens is, and, and to undocumented people is outrageous and needs to end. And I'm very moved by all of the people coming out and supporting each other in community and showing the best of America, really being like incredible neighbors and citizens. But it's just too much. It needs to end.
A
Okay, first of all, Natalie Portman, they're not Undocumented people. They're illegal aliens. Call me racist for calling them aliens because that's what the government calls them. Okay? That's what the handbook. That's what the government. They're illegal aliens. That's what they are called until they change the terminology in dc. They're illegal aliens. They're not undocumented. By the way, crying over this, are you serious? The Somalians in that Same City stole $9 billion from you, me and the people of Minnesota and Kimmel crying last night on tv. I'm sick of these liberal Hollywood losers crying about this stuff. Stop fighting back, deport and stop. Stop breaking the law. Everything ends. See? Nothing to say about Iranians, the thousands of Iranians, but plenty to say about the lawful deportations of illegal aliens. I said it again, illegal aliens. And by the way, criminals must be nice living in a gated community flanked by armed security guards, Natalie Portman, Jimmy Kimmel. While everyday Americans have to fend for ourselves as the criminals, some of them undocumented, granted. Walk our city streets. But. But no tears for them. 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 do is laugh at this point. So from Real America's music, the label that brought you the number one hit anthem of the free, comes a brand new song from singer songwriter Natasha Owens, the Somali Waltz. Let's make the music industry mad and run this to number one. Scan the QR code or search the Somali Waltz on itunes and buy it right now. The Somali Waltz. Available everywhere.
A
And coming soon to a state near you. New name, same do the Somali Wall. Man a soda knows how to handle ICE.
D
Man a sort of.
A
Knows how to handle I. Well, that was a look at an anti ice rioter telling us exactly what he or she thinks. Can't tell really. I. Whatever call it, she. My next guest is a reporter for the Daily Caller News foundation who's currently on the ground in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Happy to have Jorge Ventura with us, folks. If you don't know Jorge, one of the best on the ground reporters in the business. He's been all over the place. I've been doing work with Jorge for a very, very long time. Jorge, you've been in Minnesota witnessing the chaos. Rioters, they're creating this. They're destroying hotels or they think ICE agents are staying. Give us the sense of your. You know, we watch it and we, we see both sides. You watch MSNBC, you get 1, 1 ID. Watch the right wing. You get another idea. Tell us on the ground, are these. It strikes me that these people are predominantly white people, a lot of white women doing the rioting. I'm blown away by this fact. Am I right? Yeah.
E
You know, the tensions are still high and the majority of protesters are 90%, you know, white liberals. The way that I could, I could describe it with my conversations is they view themselves as, in a way, as the white savior, that they're defending their Somalian brother and sister, and because that they're white, that they have the privilege to be out there and to confront law enforcement. I think that's what you also see, why so many of these white protesters are so emboldened to then impede border patrol operations. And it doesn't really help when the mayor, the governor, and also local police here do not want to support federal agents really in any type of way. Now, last night was the first time that we saw a strong response from local law enforcement, the Maple Grow law enforcement a little bit out of the outskirts of Minneapolis here, where a hotel last night was targeted, a Spring Hill Suites where they believed that Commander Bovino was staying. They wanted to cause another riot and attack the hotel. But we saw stronger response and we did see 12, 26 arrests last night. But right now, I do want to say, Eric, it does seem that the energy here, the writers, the agitators, left wing protesters, their energy, the morale has been lifted with the news that Bovino has been relieved. So I would expect another hotel to be targeted tonight. And I don't expect these, these demonstrations. Right. To slow down anytime soon.
A
So many questions, Jorge, and literally you, you mentioned it. My next question was me, where. Where the hell are the Somalians? I mean, the reason why ICE is there in the first place, Trump sent them there. Yeah. For deportations. Also help investigate the $9 billion of fraud that went on there. Where the hell are the Somalians? Are. They don't seem to be on the streets protesting at all, are they?
E
No. And actually, you know, if you actually drive through the Somali neighborhoods, something that I did, all on the street corners, you will actually see, once again, it'll be white protesters are wearing these kind of yellow vests and they see themselves as like the rapid response. So if you see any vehicles that even resemble ice, the SUVs out of state plates, they're doxing those vehicles, they're placing them all over websites, uploading their locations, but also trying to impede that operation. So they're following those convoy of agents Trying to cause as much noise as they can. And it's really disrupting the operations and really stopping at times agents from even apprehending those individuals, those illegal immigrants with serious criminal history. And once again, I think these individuals, they are emboldened by the mayor's language when, in the governor's language also when the media, particularly left wing corporate media, does use the language of Gestapo Nazi. That's how they view ice. They don't view them as kind of like a federal law enforcement agency. They view them as they're going against a Gustavo. And that's why I think we're seeing these demonstrations really continue. And as of now, I don't see this slowing down. I mean, the video you're looking at, you know, I shot that just two nights ago. You can see the vandalism. One of the agents at that scene was, was concussed after an object hit him in his head. It was very chaotic. It was actually that agent, you can see he's actually bleeding, his hands are bleeding, faces moving. You seem very disorientated. And there's a moment, Eric is super powerful, where he kind of is desperate and he kind of pleads to the camera saying, where is local pd? And I think that's kind of the microcosm of story.
A
This is really important. This is, this is the nuance. I think folks aren't really, aren't really seeing this. Are paying really, really close attention. You might not even be seeing it on the ground there. All of a sudden, things change, right? Trump says, I had a good conversation with Fry. I had a good conversation with Waltz. The right is saying, screw that. What do you mean good conversation? Last we checked, we don't negotiate with terrorists. And these guys are in essence hiding or providing cover for the terrorists that are terrorizing law enforcement on the ground. So Minneapolis police or Minnesota National Guard starts helping after a conversation. I. It seems misplaced now. Are you seeing that that was it? Bovino leaving doesn't seem like enough impetus to make the whole tenor change. It feels like, because Trump, walls and Fry said, we've had good conversations that may have turned down the temperature, but there are a lot of people on the right who say, don't negotiate with those jerks.
E
You know, I think right now it's, it's still too early to tell, right? We have to see how this week plays out. Friday, I think, is going to be a key day, Eric, because here, Friday is a huge general strike and we're expecting like another huge 30,000, 40,000 to come out. I think that, that, that'll give us a lot of telling here in the video we're looking at right now that was shot last night where the officer starts to charge and start to make those, those arrests. So right now, the temperatures do need to cool down. And I think President Trump knows optics. That's why it's clear he's sending home in. Bovino has been really, what cost, though.
A
You know, Jorge, at what cost, though, right? So a lot of us, me, I, I asked this question yesterday. Do are we saying that, that the Justice Department is going to go easy on walls and fry maybe Elon Omar, Keith Ellison in, in exchange for toning the temperature down in Minneapolis because the rest of the country wouldn't take that trade. Now, Trump might because he sees his poll numbers slipping because this doesn't look good or for whatever reason, but the rest of the country is saying, screw that, they're terrorists, they're terrifying, they're terrorizing law enforcement and Minneapolis will find its own way. But in the meantime, you're going to let these, these jerks go that have looked the other way for $9 billion worth of corruption and theft. That's, that's the little rub here. So go ahead, Orey.
E
And actually, I think right now the base isn't, isn't happy with what's happening right now because they want Bavino in charge. They like the aggressive operations. I mean, no matter what you think about Bovino, they were targeting and getting serious criminals off the streets. It's not always going to look pretty and great on camera, but that is what it is. It's an aggressive operation. In the last six weeks, federal agents already made around 3,000 arrests since Trump, just in Minneapolis, by the way. And since Trump took office, they've at least made 10,000 arrests just in Minneapolis alone. Obviously, they're, they're doing the, they're carrying out a heavy, heavy surge. I think Eric and I might be wrong. I think, I think Trump's going to start to pull away some, some of the agents. We'll see how Holman changes the top, the, the tactics. But it does seem like the base is not happy with it, with the direction it's going. It seems like the left is getting a victory here. If you kind of look at the way that they're tweeting their language and even from the, from being on the ground, the protesters, the Bovino leaving as a huge lift in their morale, as almost like they stood up to the Trump administration and they won.
A
Of course it does. It feels exactly Like a win. Because it is a win. They get what they want. They, they've got ICE to, to retreat. They've. They have, they have a retreat. In the meantime, what was the deal, in other words? Tim Walls and Jacob Fry. Jacob Fry says get the F out of here. ICE day one. And they've been on every media platform they can possibly find over the last couple of weeks since it started, was ripping. Ripping maga, Ripping the base. Ripping Trump. Yeah. Ripping ics, but ripping the base as well. All of a sudden it's become, you know, a love fest. Kumbaya. At what cost? What the deal was behind the scenes. Doesn't seem like it's worth it. For what? For what maybe looked like a retreat on our part.
E
And pay attention to this. I think in the next 30 days, we might, we might be hearing some real revelings on Christy Noem. There's a, there's highly likely that she could be out in the next 30 days. And then what, what shake up does that look like? And it just seems like the administration is off the messaging. Even after the shooting. Right after the shooting, you had Stephen Miller, Christine. Using the language of domestic terrorists. And the president didn't even really go close to that characterization. So right now there's a huge shake up. And you know, just like I said for my sources at dhs, things like Kristi Noem's days are, are numbered and these next 30 will be extremely careful to watch for, I would expect. Also known you probably won't see her do another press conference anytime soon, Eric.
A
Yeah, no, we hear that and I hear that and I get that, but. And that's the way things. You know, no administration, no president wants to admit that they may have made a mistake picking certain cabinet secretaries. And they usually allow them to walk away saying the distraction is too great when walk away. That's how this usually goes. However, you're 100% right. Stephen Miller, one of the most important, influential people in the immigration debate, not only in the United States, in the world, called it domestic terrorism. Right. And if we're backing off, are we negotiating with domestic. It just, it scares me. I don't want to see it. I hope it's not the case. And at what cost? We have to ask. But Jorge, appreciate you. I don't know. We'd love to get you back after this, this Friday day of whatever that is. Maybe if you, if you get some video, you send it to us and maybe we'll do something. We'll. We'll take a look again on Friday, if you're, if you're available, my friend Jorge Ventura, folks, one of the best on the ground reporters in the business. Jorge, thank you.

How and why does Tim Walls, after weeks of pushing protesters in his state to keep at it, after months of comparing ICE MAGA to the Gestapo, why does Walls just suddenly play ball with the president? How do you make the turnaround from claiming this is an Anne Frank situation? We have.
C
We have got children in.
A
Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside.
C
Many of us grew up reading that.
A
Story of Anne Frank. Somebody's going to write that children's story about Minnesota. And there's one person who can end this now. And Frank, 6 million Jews died. Comparing this to Minnesota, really? Timmy Walls. And now suddenly, after a friendly little chat with the President, the Minnesota State Patrol is moved in to deal with protesters. Just how much corruption is going on over there with the Elmer fraud at the helm? Just how much has Tampon Timmy Wall stepped in it that suddenly he's cooperating with ICE agents? He's referred to as the Gestapo so many times before. Also, ICE is doing work throughout the country. Why, I wonder, are protesters most chaotic and screaming the loudest in Minnesota? Hey, Just asking the questions here. It must be some kind of unwritten rule that the deeper a Democrat's occupation is corruption is, the louder they yell to try to deflect from it. We talked yesterday about how Barack Obama, the deporter in chief, who had zero qualms about deporting illegals, even if the stories were tragic.
C
You know, I'm the President of the United States. I'm not the emperor of the United States. My job is to execute laws that are passed. And Congress right now has not changed what I consider to be a broken immigration system. And what that means is, is that we have certain obligations to enforce the laws that are in place. Even if we think that in many cases the results may be tragic, there are going to be some stories that break our hearts.
A
You know, I could just imagine how excited Obama was to deflect from his plentiful career of overseeing mass deportations come hell or high water.
C
Ultimately, our nation, like all nations, has the right and obligation to control its borders and set laws for residency and citizenship. And no matter how decent they are, no matter their reasons, the 11 million who broke these laws should be held accountable.
A
Must be held accountable. Obama didn't agree with the whole let illegal immigrants be thing. The left keeps pushing. By the way, if you put those words in and you ask someone on the street who said it, Obama or Trump, they would say, oh, that must be Trump. It was Obama. But President Obama's former Secretary of State and fellow corruptionist, Hill Shady Clinton, currently in contempt of Congress with Bill for refusing to testify about Epstein. Well, of course, Hill Shady just had to take advantage of the moment to talk about protesting lawless violence in order to revel in some drama that's not her own. But there are always receipts out there and we always seem to find them. And I'm old enough to remember when Hill Shady had a different view on illegals.
B
Last week, an undocumented immigrant who had been deported five times killed a 32 year old woman, Kate Steinle, in San Francisco, a sanctuary city where local law enforcement does not enforce federal immigration laws. When you last ran for president, you supported sanctuary cities. In light of this terrible incident, does that change anything about your view on this? Well, what should be done is any city should listen to the Department of Homeland Security, which, as I understand it, urged them to deport this man again after he got out of prison another time. You know, here's a case where we've deported, we've deported, we've deported. He ends back up in our country. And I Think the city made a mistake. The city made a mistake not to deport someone that the federal government strongly felt should be deported.
A
Got it. So once upon a time made sense for Democrats to do so. They actually had some kind of common sense about what's best for the American people. Right back then, before Donald Trump and before all the lawfare and Trump derangement syndrome got the best of them. Hillary once had absolutely zero support for cities that don't listen to DHS on deportations. But wait, there's more.
B
But we have to send a clear message. Just because your child gets across the border, that doesn't mean the child gets to stay. So we don't want to send a message that is contrary to our laws or will encourage more children to make that dangerous journey.
A
So, in a nutshell, children who are here in America illegally must be deported. You see, it's important to remind them of what these figureheads of their party have always firmly believed, but somehow now no longer believe it because it deflects from their own corruption or shortcoming and perhaps most importantly, slams the current administration and President Trump. So we know why these people, like Obama and Hillary, are suddenly against all of what they stood for when they were in power or vying for power. In the case of Hillary dodged the bullet with her, too, just like Kamala. These deportations are happening throughout the country. Why are they screaming the loudest in Minneapolis? Just how far wide and deep is the corruption in Minnesota that its governor, deputy governor, Congress, women or woman, and others are riling up the masses to this extent, pushing them to use their bodies in the streets to protest. Why waltz did effectively what any dirty Democrat does to distract from a network of corruption. Less than two weeks ago, there were talks of a possible Tim Walls resignation after he had already announced that he was not going to seek reelection as governor. And I think the signs were there that a massive Democrat support campaign was coming.
B
Hey, I'm here with Governor Tim Walls in Minnesota. We are so excited that we have 28 members of Congress from all over the country here to stand up with you. Governor, you have been such a strong champion to say that the what is happening in Minnesota is absolutely not right. Tell us.
C
Well, Congresswoman, thank you.
A
And to everybody out there across the country, thank you for standing with Minnesota.
C
We're here today in beautiful, peaceful St.
A
Paul, a place that we care for our neighbors, we care for everyone. This assault that we're seeing is traumatic, but what I keep telling Minnesotans, we're not alone in this fight. We're on the right side of justice, the right side of history. What deal? What deal did he cut? What deal did that? Slimy tampon, Tim. But we may never know. Lock them up, baby. Lock them up. Don. All right, let me give you a quick, quick little reality check right here. I didn't ask for this. I didn't campaign for it. But when you open up President Trump's X account, it says that he follows you. Follows me. That tells me one thing. Being committed to speaking only the truth still gets noticed by the most powerful people, men in the world. I've never asked, and I would never risk losing that.

A couple of dudes on the stage and you're listening to Gloria TLO R I A Gloria Mad Dog, you got a control cam. Where are you? There you guys are. I guess we can squeeze in some voicemails or Trump comes out. We'll jump over there, but how about you? Let's. Let's go. I think we've got a couple brand new ones. Let's go.
E
Yes, sir. Viewers have messaged. Viewer has a message to President Trump.
F
Hey, President Trump, you took an oath to the Constitution to defend this country from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Sir, we have domestic enemies in this country, Sir, I don't know what you're doing right now, but I hope you're devising a plan to take out the domestic enemies in Minnesota, sir, Because, sir, I voted for you six times. Okay, I'm feeling a little let down here, sir. Sir, I hope you have something up your Sleeve you usually do. You cannot let this happen in Minnesota. Do something, sir. If we have to bite the bullet, we bite the bullet. I don't know if you're worried about the economy, this and that, sir, but I'd like to see them, all these illegals out of the country. My grandfather, great grandfather, came here from Italy 120 years ago, and he put up with a lot of crap in Italy, okay? That's why he left it then. They put up with the crap here in America, but we knew this was the place to live. The Italians, we put up with the crap, but we love this country. We knew this was the place, though. Sir. Do something about this, will you? I voted for you six times. I pray for you a lot, sir. We gotta win this, sir. Recon. I don't know, sir. I hope you're making the right moves here. Remember, all enemies, foreign and domestic. God bless you, sir. God bless you, Eric.
A
Well, thank you. A couple of things right there. Thank you for your service. I think you're speaking what so many people are feeling right now. Let's get these. These illegal aliens out of the country. I'm personally very concerned about that little Muslim town they wanted to build in Texas. Abbott told them to get the hell out. They came over to Florida waiting for DeSantis to say the same thing. We don't want no go zones. We don't have a place where they. The. The groups that come over here, legally or not, I don't know, still assimilate to the American way of life. That's what you do. You don't go to Italy and group bring a group of Americans there and say, this is. We're going to do things over here. No, you assimilate to the country you want to be in. I agree with you and I'm not sure how. You voted for Trump six times, but we'll talk about that another time. I think he only ran three, unless I'm missing something. Mad Dog control room. How can you vote for Trump six times? Just curious. I think you're right. I may miss something, but we get your point. All right, hear another one, Viewers, thoughts on Biden's border.
E
Hi, Eric.
F
This is Steve from Pennsylvania. My question is, why hasn't Biden and his administration been held accountable for leaving the borders wide open? Isn't that part of the Constitution, to protect this country? Thanks and have a good day. I watch you every day. Goodbye.
A
You know, you're so right. Where's my orcas? We were going to prosecute my orcas. Who Said there's nothing wrong with the border. The border is intact. And like something like, I don't know, up to 20 million people came across over the four years. Really that you lie. And then all the people who are, let's unfortunately all the American citizens who are raped or killed by. At the hands of illegals. And sure, another one illegal is supposed to be deported. Wasn't deported, just ran some drunk driving. Just ran over another young American girl. Died again. Another one. It keeps happening and happening. These people should be, these people should be held accountable. They should be on the hook for some of that. If you can hold a parent accountable for something a kid does, like they're starting to do, you can hold these, these idiots who let millions of people in illegally who are killing American citizens, hold them accountable to slam a door. Perp walk. Someone slam a door, maybe it slows down. Sorry. Riled up. Mad dog Vera wants Christians to rise up.
F
Hello, Eric, this is Al. Just wanted to say feeling righteous indignation about that debacle at that church where all those protesters came into. Into play. And I really believe it's time for a crusade. If Christians around the country in the world would just do the same thing at a mosque and I don't know, go in with. Going with your shoes on and shouting, gesticulate just like the people did down there in that church. Anyway, try to watch your show every day. But sometimes I don't make it. But God bless and take it easy. Thanks.
A
Thank you for your comment. Appreciate you. Glad you watch Rev every day. Keep it. Just put rabbi in the morning for the morning show. Just keep it all the way through the night. Just keep it there all the time. Thank you for watching the show as well. You're right. Can you imagine if a group of maga, Christian MAGA guys walked into a mosque with their shoes on and like just started saying the things that the other side was saying to those. I mean, it's incredible. The hypocrisy, the, the, you know, it's okay for them, but not okay for us to do stuff. It's just incredible how bad this country is getting really bifurcated, guys. And again, I'll say it again, if you come to this country, you want to come here legally, that's fine. Do what you're supposed to do. But then assimilate, do things the way we do here. That's a problem with Somalians. It's a lawless country. They don't have a government. No one recognizes Somalia as a government. So they have no government. They have basically a failed state, state, no laws. And they come over here and they think they can do the same thing here. And idiots like Tim Walls and Jacob Fry allow him to get away with it. It's got to stop. Enough is enough. Herp walks, deportations. And don't negotiate with Walls or Fry or Elon Omar or Keith Ellison. Throw them behind bars. This is an I heart podcast.
B
Guaranteed human.
This episode dives deep into volatile current events, centering on protests and political controversy in Minneapolis, Minnesota, recent ICE operations, alleged corruption involving Minnesota officials, and broader themes of U.S. immigration, law enforcement, and the state of the American economy. Host Eric Bolling is joined by guests including Brian Glenn, David Zier, Jorge Ventura, and audience callers, unpacking the news through a populist, MAGA-aligned lens. The discussion is fiery, challenging mainstream narratives and explicitly critical of prominent Democrats and progressive activists.
Tone:
Bold, adversarial, and emotionally charged, the podcast is sharply critical of Democrats, mainstream media, and progressive activists, while voicing frustration about current events, law enforcement, and perceived corruption. The hosts and guests maintain a conversational, sometimes confrontational, and unapologetically pro-Trump/MAGA tone throughout.
For those seeking to follow ongoing stories in Minneapolis or shifts in U.S. immigration policy, this episode highlights the anger and strategic thinking within the right-wing media ecosystem, offering insight into populist talking points, movement priorities, and skepticism about bipartisan "deals."
