The Save America act makes it harder to vote and much easier to steal an election. And Trump is learning day by day that the only way he's going to win is stealing it. And we are not going to let him win. We are going to do everything we can to block this pernicious, despicable, anti American piece of legislation.

Eric Bolling (5:37)

Democrats, they actually hate you and they hate America. But I digress. Just like Democrats are slapping Americans in the face by saying what we want just doesn't matter to them. What the baseball unions are saying right now is that the fans opinions just don't matter either. It's more than a little insulting. It's infuriating even because fans aren't dumb, they can see what's happening. Dodgers. Dodgers are spending a whopping $500 million on their roster. Half a billion dollars. That's four or five times the team salary of the Cleveland Guardians. You know what? Red State flyover country team H is there a pattern forming here? But I digress again, see that's not a level playing field. That's like Major League baseball is one thing. And the big teams are over here and the little teams are pretty much a farm team supplying the big teams. It's like showing up to a race where one guy has a Ferrari and the other guy, well, like this guy has a bicycle. Take a look. This never gets old. Wait for it. It's. Well, maybe not that bicycle, but we can't pretend that it's fair. And here's the other thing. Every other major sports has figured it out. Football, salary cap, basketball, salary cap, hockey, salary cap. And those leagues, they're competitive. Teams rise, teams fall, and the fans will stay engaged. But in baseball, you can pretty much guess the contenders in March before a ball or strike has been called yet. And if you're in a smaller market, and I mean most of the country, you're basically hoping for some sort of miracle. So if your team develops a great player, congratulations, you've beaten the odds. But you've only got about three years before either New York or Los Angeles or Philadelphia buys them right out from under you. That's the way the system works right now. You draft a prospect, you grow the talent, they buy the talent the minute the free agent window opens up. Thanks a lot for your hard work. We'll take it from here. Dodgers, Yankees, Phillies, Padres, fans in places like Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Cleveland, they're just supposed to accept it. These people support their team and they Just go to game after game after game and told that maybe, just maybe, their team will be competitive this year, next year, maybe in a decade or so. That's exactly how you lose people. You lose your fans. But the union, well, they'll tell you they're protecting players. But let's be honest for a second about what's really going on. A small group of superstar players are making bank massive money. Good for them. But most players, they're not signing $500 million contracts and deals. The system with a salary cap, a salary floor could actually mean more teams are spending more, more players are getting paid better. Not just a handful at the very top. But of course that would change the system. And there are some very powerful people who like the system exactly the way it is. Thank you very much. Super agents making bank massive commissions off giant contracts. Teams in big markets that can easily outspend everyone else. Now look, it's a pretty nice setup if you're on the winning end of that, of course. But it's not so great if you're a fan watching your favorite team get picked apart every few years. And here's what really loses people. That same union that tells fans to trust them because they know better. Well, they just had leadership, their own leadership, under investigation over a side business that spent millions upon millions. And guess what? They barely lifted a finger. Millions of dollars, a handful of kids clinics and a post office box for an office. Sounds very Minneapolis Somali daycare to me. But sure, make us believe they got the fans best interest at heart. Sure you do. I want to be clear. This isn't about being anti player. I used to be one of them. A Pittsburgh Pirate, in fact. Players should make great money. Of course they should. They're talented. People want to watch them. This is about making the game actually feel like a competition again. And right now, too often it absolutely doesn't feel that way at all. When the richest teams can just stack talent, buy talent year after year, and smaller teams become stepping stones. Basically a farm system for the east and west coast mega teams. That's when fans feel like the outcome is already baked in the cake before the first pitch. That's the problem. Fans know it. They're saying it loud and clear. Fix it. Union, players union. Because at the end of the day, baseball isn't just a business, it's part of our culture. It's the American pastime. It's what Americans grow up with. And they want to believe, at least believe a little bit, that their team has a shot. It's called hope. A salary cap isn't about hurting fans. It's about giving a reason to for people to watch. Give them hope their team might just make it this year. Because when big money decides to stay in these before opening day, that's not competition. That's the arms race I'm talking about. And fans are done pretending otherwise. All right, folks, take a look at this. Let me tell you something that's becoming very, very clear right now. There are millions of places online to argue about politics, but there are almost none where people talk honestly about winning at life. That's why I built the Edge. It's a non political zone focused on performance, money, health, discipline and longevity. And the response has been nothing short of incredible.

His unit was the most decorated special operations task unit of the Iraq war. He completed 10 combat deployments. Thank you very much for that, sir. In support of the global war on terrorism. He's the founder and CEO of Talent War Group, best selling co author of the Talent War How Special Operations and Great Organizations Win on Talent. And he's the host of Truth and Tribe podcast Happy to have back with us Mike Sorelli. Mike, you are good. Thank you for our freedom. Thank you for your service, sir. So you said that the US needs to destroy the fanatical clerical regime that's been attacking us for 47 years. Is that possible?

Mike Sorelli (16:12)

Well, I'll tell you what, the war is not cooling. It's currently expanding and we can go into any campaign plan or any campaign with a plan and you know, no plan survives first contact. At this point, regardless of what I think, we have to remain committed. You know Eric, the phrase at the water's edge, regardless of our domestic politics, we've got to support the troops there. We've got to support the presidency. This has been an evil regime for 47 years. The blood of Americans are on Iranian hands for the past decades. And maybe my experience is shaped by fighting in Iraq, particularly in Sauder City amongst Iranian special groups. We are fighting against them where they are employing something called an efp, an explosive forming penetrator that killed hundreds of US soldiers. So I may be warped and I see the moral coherence of why we are going after Iran now. Now there's others like Joe Kent and I know we're probably going to talk about that, who see it differently, that are shaped by their perspectives and their experiences.

Eric Bolling (17:13)

So we'll get to John in just a second. We have to talk about Joe. But you know, General Flynn, good friend of mine, once said to me, and it's really stuck with me, the enemy of a great plan is, is a good plan. And that really makes sense. It can't be perfect, you know, I can't be, it can't satisfy all your goals when you're drawing it up in the situation room. Where are we on this though? Is this, is this is a great plan, a good plan, whatever we're doing here and, or does it need tweaking just to become a good plan?

Mike Sorelli (17:41)

Every plan requires tweaking. We all know that's the reality of warfare. It's the reality of business as well. But the military is performing exceptionally, you know, regardless if the US uses loses wars. Our soldiers have always won every battle they're tasked with. But look at the perspective right now, or at least the reality. We've destroyed 70 to 90% of Iranians military hardware, their technology, their weaponry. We're putting pressure on the regime. You know, just in the last 24, 48 hours, we've eliminated both the Iranian security chief and especially, and this one's important for the people of Iran. The Bajij commander, which is like their internal gestapo, their internal security apparatus that keeps the opposition at bay. So the military has performed the Strait of Hormuz. We knew that was going to be the pressure lever because Iran cannot fight state to state. So where do they go? They go to creating instability in the regional and global markets by disrupting the Strait of Hormuz. And unfortunately, the allies have not answered the call by President Trump to assist in convoys to pick the traffic back up through the Strait of Hormuz, which was unplanned. And arguably, since we've been in heated debate with Naito, not surprising that NATO is not answering the call.

Eric Bolling (18:56)

Yeah, not surprising they didn't jump when Trump asked him prior to hitting Iran the first time. They want to sit back and see what happened. They seem to be a little bit more interested in playing ball after Trump really just leveled their navy, possibly their air force as well. Mike, who's running Iran now? Is it the irgc or is it Mochaba Khomeini?

Eric Bolling (19:19)

The.

Eric Bolling (19:20)

The Ayatollah Committee's dead. Ayatollah Committee's son, which we hear has one leg and maybe hiding a bunker.

Mike Sorelli (19:26)

Yeah, I think probably the correct response is, who knows? They're trying to keep up the appearances that they have some sort of command coherence, but the truth is they're probably in disarray and they're going to lead with a great information campaign. I thought it was bold that they said they don't want to entertain any treaty or ceasefire agreements and that they're seeking repayment or retribution for the attacks on Iran. To me, that is the sign of a desperate regime at end of days. And we've just, in my opinion, we've got to stay the course. If we can continue for three to four more weeks to totally decimate 100% of their military regional strike capability, we've destroyed their navy, as you mentioned, their air force. But if we can now target the regime and continue to do that alongside Israel, there is the potential, the potential for an uprising of the Iranian people for which 90% of the Iranian populace has never supported this fanatical theocracy.

Eric Bolling (20:26)

All right, let's. Let's move on to Joe Kent. Guys, can we show that? The tweet of the ex post that Kent put up this morning kind of shocked everyone, so to speak. Basically, after much reflection, I've decided to resign from my position as director of National Counterterrorism center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. So. And he goes on. I've met Joe. Nice guy. Thank you. Thank you for your service. Joe Kent. But there was always something I wasn't really picking up with him. Do you know Joe and do you have any idea what, what this is all about?

Mike Sorelli (20:58)

So I've got a lot of mutual friends that, that say Joe's a good man. Former Army Special Forces. He lost his wife who was in the US Navy in Syria. Sarah Kent. They speak highly of him. But, you know, there's always three sides to any story. You know, his side, Trump's side, or the administration. And then the, the truth. He could have possibly had access to, to information. Again, he's also shaped by his perspectives and experiences that he thought this was an unjust war. But the Trump administration is saying that they have evidence of a inherent attack on the United States. When it comes down to it, an Iran armed with any nuclear capability is a inherent threat to our nation and to what I would say, Eric, if not now, then when? And if not us, then who? We've allowed this toxic cancer to metastasize for over 47 years, and no administration was willing to do it. And Trump has stepped up and he's also rearranged the global chessboard. Not only with Venezuela, with the wars he's ended, he's now doing it with Iran. I mean, I couldn't imagine a Strait of Hormuz where we had a predictable stable supply chain and energy market. That would be a different world. And that's not the cause for doing this. Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism.

Eric Bolling (22:15)

Right.

Mike Sorelli (22:15)

Well, it takes moral coherence and clarity

Eric Bolling (22:18)

to step up, if I may, bring it back to Joe specifically. And I'm concerned with the method. Right. I mean, we're in war. It's a wartime. Let's be, let's be real. If you have a problem with, with the administration, your commander in chief, what he's doing, There are ways to do this where you don't post it on X and say, I have a problem with, with the basis for attacking Iran. I mean, you can do it quietly. And he reports to Tulsi Gabbard is, did she know. I was just. Did it catch her by surprise as well?

Mike Sorelli (22:47)

So, Eric, I couldn't agree with you more on this one. So it's no different than a commander on the battlefield who may disagree with his direct superiors. You don't abandon your troops when we're committed to an offensive, to a campaign like this. And especially you don't hit social media and go against the administration and add to a narrative that is anti. Iran conflict. So he did that part poorly. I know that is sort of the political arena and the level he serves at. I wouldn't have done that. And I think on that side, you know, we've, we've got to say he was in the wrong.

Eric Bolling (23:21)

And Tulsi, what are your thoughts on her future?

Mike Sorelli (23:25)

You know, Tulsi's under a lot of pressure. She was, she was hard getting, you know, confirmed. I think Tulsi, in knowing Tulsi, she is just a standout leader. But this administration had their, their, their enemies lined up before they even took office. Tulsi is doing a wonderful job. This is not a good look for Tulsi. I think she can recover and continue to perform as she, as she has been performing.

Eric Bolling (23:49)

Got it. Mike Shkreli, thank you. CEO of the Talent War Group. Appreciate your time, my friend.

Mike Sorelli (23:53)

Thanks, Eric.

Victims Justice Group Advertiser (26:15)

Product

Eric Bolling (26:18)

for decades, it was known as the miracle mineral. Asbestos was a common material used in flooring, roofing, insulation, even common household products we used each and every day. Some called it the miracle product. But today we know that sinister side of this mineral and the heavy price people have paid being exposed to asbestos. Asbestos exposure is the primary cause of mesothelioma and other forms of cancer. Prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to cancerous growth. But the latency period, get this, for developing mesothelioma, ranges from 20 to 50 years. Many people diagnosed today were exposed decades ago. If you or someone you love was affected by mesothelioma or lung cancer, you need to call Victims Justice Group now. They can help you determine if you qualify for compensation. The attorneys and staff working with Victims Justice Group have decades of experience and fully understand the complexities of filing a claim. Search victimsjusticegroup.com for more information. That's victimsjusticegroup.com and there it is, right on your screen right now, folks. All right, our next guest says he's the antithesis to California state government because he says he's going to take a nuclear bomb into that building and, and absolutely destroy everything that they do to us. Being behind closed doors. Here to give us more detail, Riverside county sheriff running for governor of California, Sheriff Chad Bianco. Welcome, sir. Before we jump into it, we want to take a little listen to President Trump calling out Gavin Newscomb said it the way he said it.

Caller quoting Trump (27:52)

Take a look with a low IQ person, you know, because Gavin Newscomb has admitted that he is a. That he has learning disabilities. Honestly, I'm all for people with learning disabilities, but not for my president. I don't want. I think a president should not have learning disabilities. Okay. And I know it's highly controversial to say such a horrible thing. The President of the United States, Gavin Newscomb, admitted that he has learning disabilities, dyslexia. Everything about him is dumb, but.

Eric Bolling (28:28)

All right, Sheriff, what do you say about what Trump said? Yes, by the way, first of all, folks, if we, if that were the, the litmus test for Congress that they don't have learning disabilities, I think most of Congress would be thrown out the door. Sir, I digress your thoughts on what Trump said about Gavin?

Chad Bianco (28:42)

Yeah, I don't know if I would have come out and said that. I would be more along the lines of it's just another thing that he lies to try and convince a certain segment of the public to support him as he, he wants you to think he's one of you. And what we know at the time when he did that was exactly that. And he actually insulted the people that he was talking to. It's unfortunate. I will tell you this, I will agree with President Trump. Gavin Newsom has absolutely no business being our president.

Eric Bolling (29:15)

So you said 30 years of Democrat one party rule in California ruined the state. Tell us what you mean.

Chad Bianco (29:22)

Yeah, we've, we've had, and actually it's been longer than that from the 1950s. Our assembly and our Senate has been in control of the Democrat party since the 1950s, 1956 and 1958. And every 20 years or so we get a reprieve with a Republican governor. And it's been 20 years now since we've had that Republican governor. It's way past time to have it again. And everything about California now is worse than it was 20 years ago. So that one party rule, that Democrat rule that has been in place in California for decades has brought us to where we are today. California is the greatest state in the country. The only thing harming us, the only thing causing people to leave, businesses to leave is horrific policy, horrific government politics, and it is all Democrat. Republicans have absolutely nothing to do with it and they never have. We had a great governor which started out as with Governor Schwarzenegger and was he had great plans but he was not forceful enough. He wanted to make friends and he thought that he could get along with everyone. And the reality is this government agenda has no intention of getting along with anyone other than if you agree with their agenda. And I'm going to destroy their agenda. I'm going to point it out for what it is. We're going to be honest with Californians. I think that's why I'm leading in the majority of the polls for the last six months, is because Californians are sick of politics. They're sick of politicians and they're looking for a sheriff to go in and end not only the crime problem we have here, but the absolute government corruption.

Eric Bolling (30:53)

All right, Sheriff little economics here, my friend. The national average for gasoline today, nationally regular gasoline, 380 a gallon. Today in California it's around 560 a gallon. Just looking at the number. San Francisco 567. Los Angeles 562. San Diego 560. Ventura 557. I heard Newsom say there's a lot of tax, right? California adds a lot of tax to a gallon of gasoline. That's why the big difference between what it is nationally in California is so much higher. But I heard him say, well, the oil companies wouldn't let the consumer keep the difference if we drop the tax. How ridiculous is that comment?

Chad Bianco (31:31)

Well, it's so ridiculous that they don't do that in the other states. California is the only state they're going to do that in. The same companies in California that's operating in every other state, but they're just choosing California. It's so asinine. It's such a lie. It's such a gaslighting comment by a failed governor. He is responsible for the price in gasoline. We make gas. Gasoline for the states of Nevada and Arizona, but theirs is $2 cheaper than us. Why? Because Gavin Newsom's policies in California are driving fuel up, driving the cost of the production of oil up, driving the cost of gasoline up, and the cost of owning a gasoline car out of existence so he can push his green agenda, his electric car. This is 100% government caused $2 absolute minimum. Just because of government regulation. If he wanted to, he could eliminate it. Today he chooses not to. We could be the same as every other state. G. Gavin Newsom and his political agenda choose to not allow Californians to enjoy the same price gasoline as the rest of the country.

Eric Bolling (32:36)

Sir. So what's your answer? Okay, so you eliminate the $2. That's a massive budget shortfall. California's already in the hole. Where do you make the difference up or do you?

Chad Bianco (32:46)

Yeah, it's not. It's a wash. It's actually a benefit to California because right now we're buying all of our oil from other countries. The Middle East, South America, other states even. And why? We have our own oil. California. It's a government regulation that's causing it. Not it's an environmental activism that is causing the oil industry to leave California. We have more oil than we could ever use in the history of the world. We have more oil here. And with me as the governor, we will be oil independent. When you stop buying from other countries, you get the benefit of drilling it here, using it here. And that funds the government. We don't need our taxes. Why does State of Texas not tax its residents? Why does Alaska not tax its residents? Why do the Dakotas not tax their residents because they get their, the revenue from oil. We are going to do the same thing in California. We're going to lower the cost of gas to the lowest in the country. We're going to eliminate the state income tax. So now we're not paying the highest in the country. We're paying zero, the same as some as 10 other states. We are going to make California the economic boom that it has never seen in the history of California. The gold rush is going to be minimal compared to what state of California is going to be with a new governor.

Eric Bolling (33:54)

Sir, I want to do the math with you, right? I think the number is California used like 13 and a half billion gallons of gasoline in 2024, maybe even more in 2025. That's a, you know, you eliminate that gas tax, that's $26 billion. Again, just the California gas tax, not the, that the federal. So you're, you're throwing another $26 billion.

Chad Bianco (34:16)

No hole. You got to know we're no, we're replacing that money. When an oil company drills oil from the ground everywhere, Texas, the Dakotas, Alaska, even in California, when they, when we utilize our own money, the oil company pays a fee to the state. When we buy 80% of our oil from other places, they don't pay that fee to the state. There's zero benefit. The money is awash. We're actually going to be more beneficial.

Eric Bolling (34:38)

Do you know, this is where I agree with you, I agree with you 100 million percent. California used to be one of Alaska and California used to be our two biggest oil producers. Now it's, it's moved to natural gas, occupied natural gas, shale, etc. In the Midwest. Do you know where you can ramp up oil production within the state?

Chad Bianco (34:57)

It's already here. It's just being prevented from operating. Kern county is in Kern County. What we have in our, in our central Valley, more a little bit inland, is, has all of the oil that we could ever, ever, ever imagine. We also have a lot of oil along our coast. That's what President Trump is dealing with. What you see on the screen right now, that is a massive, massive, massive oil reserve. All we have to do is remove the environmental activist regulations that are preventing us from using that oil, from getting that oil and using it. It's absolutely simple. It's the signature, the stroke of a pen from the governor and we will do it the day I get sworn in.

Eric Bolling (35:36)

All right. On March 24th, you're going to be part of a gubernatorial debate which we all have to see. We know Steve Hilton very well. We wish you well. Sheriff Chad Bianco. Appreciate your time, my friend, and please stay with us. We're enjoying this. Very much so. And man, can we get a. Can we get a Republican in the mansion, in the Governor's mansion in California? We can only hope, folks. Chad Bianco, thank you.

Eric Bolling (35:58)

You bet.

Chad Bianco (35:58)

We're gonna do it.

Eric Bolling (35:59)

Yes, sir. All right, folks, we'll be back. All right. We love the voicemail so much. And you love it. Everyone's responding. I've been literally thousands of voicemails. We had to do a whole segment on this. Give it a little breathing room. Ben, let's. Let's roll a couple of them. Let's go.

Victims Justice Group Advertiser (36:31)

Sure.

Caller 1 (36:31)

Hi, Eric. We enjoy watching your show, but I gotta. Somebody has to defend Pam Bondi. If you think about it logically, if they would have sent through one, two or three indictments and stream them through nice and slow, we would probably get a ton of fight back. And since Trump did the big beautiful bill and sent through a lot of what he wanted all at one time, would it not make sense that rather than piecemealing all these indictments that Pam Bondi does the responsible thing and waits until she has a full list of who she's indicting and does a mass indictment.

Eric Bolling (37:27)

Interesting.

Caller 1 (37:27)

Over several. Several people.

Eric Bolling (37:30)

Okay, let's bring it. So.

Caller 1 (37:32)

Which would be harder for the Democrats to fight.

Eric Bolling (37:35)

It's a theory. Wait. And have all the evidence. Listen, I, I'm, I'm with the folks. I want to see some indictments. I want to see some per blocks. Not sure we're going to see them. Just. Why not just one at a time. I don't care. Drop them one at. Let's get one. How about we get one on the board? All right, then another one. I think we have the other side

Victims Justice Group Advertiser (37:52)

of the coin here.

Caller 2 (37:53)

Hey, hey, ho, ho.

Caller 3 (37:55)

Pam Bond. He's got to go. Hey, hey, ho, ho. I have been saying that since the day or two before he even picked her. I did not want her. She's never going to be any good. Just look at what she done as Attorney General in Florida. I know people down there. She was horrible. Ron DeSantis could not get rid of her. Couldn't happen fast enough when her term run out. No, no. Hey, hey, ho, ho. Pam Bond. He's got to go.

Eric Bolling (38:25)

All right. I think she was a great Attorney General of Florida, but I do agree that we need some per box quick. Ben, what else?

Victims Justice Group Advertiser (38:34)

We have a viewer from South Carolina who's not A big fan of Lindsey Graham.

Caller 3 (38:38)

Hey, Mr. Boland, we love you here in South Carolina, but we don't love Lindsey Graham and we want him out and he is a disgrace.

Caller 2 (38:49)

We.

Caller 3 (38:50)

South Carolina is the laughing stock of America right now for putting a man like this right here into office. You have a good one, buddy. And we appreciate you. And like I said, we love you, man.

Eric Bolling (39:03)

Love you, too. Real weird story. So I left fox in whatever 2018 and I was, I moved to South Carolina to run against Lindsey Graham because he was no friend to Trump. If you remember the Trump 1.0, Lindsay was just literally beating Trump as Lindsay and John McCain, they were beating him up. I said, you know, I'm going to go to South Carolina and run against some senator and see if I can knock his anti Trump butt off the stage. I don't know how he's ends up playing golf with Trump. Whatever. Yeah, he's not very beloved. I think my good friend Steve Bannon calls him Lady Lindsay for whatever reason. We got Ben, we have a viewer

Victims Justice Group Advertiser (39:40)

who has an idea for illegal immigrants.

Caller 4 (39:43)

Inter Boeing question, whatever happened to the dreamers, you know, way back, 15, 20 years ago, if they're still out there, why don't Trump make an appeal to them stupid Democrats that if they're not felons and they've been living a clean life, that will make them citizens. If we pass the Voters Save act and cooperation in all 52 states with all local jails, cops, etc. To rid the country of illegal aliens that have committed crimes because it'll take us to the end of Trump's.

Eric Bolling (40:20)

Yeah, 50 states. 50 states. But I get it. What happened to the dreams? I'm not really sure. I'm not sure we want to make them full citizens yet either. I, I just, I, I don't think it's time to give away citizenship. There's a way to give them, you know, the ability to stay, but that vote really has to be earned and proven, in my opinion. And in the meantime, hasta la vista, baby.

Victims Justice Group Advertiser (40:43)

Ben, a viewer wants to change how we vote on issues.

Caller 1 (40:47)

Hey, Eric, love your show. My wish is that we would totally skip the representatives in Congress and direct vote. We have the ability to do it. They're not listening to us. We have the technology to do it. Let's just bypass those idiots that don't listen to us and vote directly for what the people want. It is past time to clean the swamp and that's the only way we're going to do it. Thank you for listening.

Eric Bolling (41:20)

Oh, thank you for the call. Interesting. Listen, maybe in the big issues, but think about what it takes to get a national vote. I mean, it literally becomes prohibitive. And by the way, I don't like this until we make sure our voting. We have voter id. I wouldn't do this before we have voter ID because it just gives the Democrats an opportunity to cheat and get everything they want. But that's, that's my two cents, Benny.

Victims Justice Group Advertiser (41:43)

We have a bit of a funny one having to do with the Strait of Hormuz, so I'll just let it run.

Caller 2 (41:47)

Hi, Eric, it's Mary Jane again. I'm still loving your show. In looking at the Strait of Hormuz, I don't know what the terrain is. Like Wikipedia, you know, doesn't say much good. And I'm just wondering. It's been a problem for centuries. I'm wondering why we can't use some of our bombs and blow a channel off that little nipple of Oman. I don't know if it's. It must be heavily populated. But they could just blow that little nipple off and then it be more in control. Oman, I don't know. It's just. I don't want us going to war because of oil. And that's, I think that's why he's sending troops, is to protect, protect the tankers. And so it's basically to protect the oil. And that, that makes me sad. I know it's, it's all, you know, for the, for the good of the, the purpose. But anyway, I say blow the nipple off Oman and make a new channel and to hell with Iran. Love you, buddy. As God intended. Have a great day.

Eric Bolling (43:18)

Well, you too, Mary Jane. Interesting. Newt Gingrich just came out with that idea. He said we should nuke a channel through that, that nipple. Yeah. Thank you. Put that back up. He's Newt Ginger said we should blow a nuclear channel, but just blow it up and make that another shipping channel there. I'm not sure I like that idea. You know what? Put that, that picture back of that map up one more time. Ben, here's what I think we should do, right? A pipeline. So put a port, a terminal, an oil port and terminal on both sides of that little nipple, as Mary Jane called it. Just put on and just run a pipe. It's very inexpensive. You could do that in a month. Run a pipeline through. Under the ground through those and put a terminal here and terminal there. You don't have to deal with Iran anymore. You don't have to deal with Iran or the stupid Straight. I'll never have to say straight of Hormuz again. My idea. Let me know what you think of it. Send me a voicemail. Because we love your voicemails. Keep them coming. All right, folks, Listen, Benny, can you show us how to subscribe? What do we got for the edge here?

I was working out over the weekend and this voicemail came in and it really, really, really hit home. Take a listen.

Uncle Bobby (45:48)

Brother Bowling Uncle Bobby here from the Mid Atlantic. I live about 8 miles from ground zero here at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. FYI, the guy that got killed was a retired military officer. He was a teacher at ROTC class. So this genius had decided he was going to attack him, was attacking the military. Basically, he came in and these students, he shot the Instructors dead with AK47, yelling, Alu Akbar. His name's Muhammad. And the students went Medal of Honor Rambo on his hand parts. The Parker not letting out as they stabbed him. They, they. So they literally brought a knife to a gunfight and won. Those guys need some recognition from Mr. Hexith. You still might have some connection with that fella from the Fox days. I don't know. But he needs to be made aware that the ROTC program is alive and well in In Norfolk, Virginia. Love your show, brother. Dig the edge too. Keep it up. Uncle Bobby.

Eric Bolling (46:54)

Out.

Eric Bolling (46:54)

Well, that hit home. I was working out and I was like, you know what, I gotta call Uncle Bobby. I called Uncle Bobby and we had a little conversation and let's bring in Uncle Bobby. Uncle Bobby, thank you for the voicemail. Appreciate you. I appreciate your patriotism to send that voicemail. What inspired that, sir?

Eric Bolling (47:12)

Well, it's, it's, it's his service that it's, it's. If it's not inspiring to, you're not gonna have some American blood in you. These kids, they didn't cower in place. They didn't wait on somebody to give them permission. They didn't wait for a higher power to tell them what they were supposed to do. They went right on this guy's hand parts. And that saved untold how many lives. This guy had loaded up AK47 and could have done lord knows how much damage. And the rapid action by these guys without hesitant is exactly what we need in the military. Guys that are able to take it on their own and go to course and it'd be a great thing for Pete to use as a recruiting tool. And actually you ought to get these guys up there in D.C. and talk to them and give them a pat on the butt and give them an attaboy. You know, the military is all about atta boys.

Eric Bolling (48:08)

Yeah, no, no question. We're going to get into Pete Hexeth in just a second, sir. But I want to continue this here. You made a great point. The ROTC program is alive and well in America. I think a lot of people have kind of either forgotten about it or don't give it the credit that it deserves. Tell us about that.

Eric Bolling (48:24)

Well, it's a shame. I mean, it's, it's a, it's a, it's a stepping stone or a ladder to a higher calling in the military. It you already get the indoctrination, so to speak, as what military life is going to be like and you're on your way to a career. I know I've got many, many friends that are retired and still in, that are doing pretty daggone good. It used to be if you were an enlisted guy, you were really struggling and a lot of them are now still too. It's got big families, but still the training and the, and the, the just the general growth you have as a human being in the military is not something you can't get out the street.

Eric Bolling (49:11)

Let me tell you something, that line stuck out with me. You know, it's amazing. You said they literally brought a knife to a gunfight and won. Really? And it had to be the military training they got, right? Yeah. That's not going to happen in one of these liberal arts schools, right?

Eric Bolling (49:27)

Not going to happen. You ain't going to get it. The thing about it is, I mean, you look at the resolve of say the Chinese people, no tell, you got 90 million, 900 million, something like that, communist, and you got a billion people. If you arm those people instead of my hero Eric Holder and Barack Obama arming the cartels, if you armed the Venezuelan people and the Chinese people, chances are we wouldn't have those problems.

Eric Bolling (50:03)

Eric, tell me about quickly the big news that we're dealing with right now. Iranian people. What does Uncle Bobby think we should do in Iran?

Eric Bolling (50:14)

Well, that's a tough one. The, I think the people got the will. They've got to, they've got the want to, you know, all they got to have is the means. I don't think, I think the boots on the ground should be Iranian or Israeli if they want to play hard. But I don't want to see a lot of dead Americans over there. I really don't. But if, if they want to arm somebody and do a, whatever the Iran Contra, whatever that deal happened to be with weapons, load those guys up, take everything out of Afghanistan we gave the Afghans and send it over there and they, they take care of business themselves. I've got to feel.

Eric Bolling (50:50)

This is why I love the voicemail. Where else are you going to sit down, hear voicemail or even on your side send a voicemail and you end up on, on tv, millions of people watching. I. So you mentioned Pete Hegseth in there. I tell you what I did. I clipped that voicemail and I, I sent it to Secretary of War and he gave me a thumbs up back, which means he heard it, he listened to it. Secretary of War, listen to you, Uncle Bobby, thoughts on that?

Eric Bolling (51:16)

Well, that's, that's America. That's, that's how things work in this country. You go to just go to the source. You know, I'm, I'm a real big one for going to the highest level. You can go to. I don't like these hills, these balls rolling downhill. I generally try to start at the top.

Eric Bolling (51:32)

There you go. There you go. Uncle Bobby, we appreciate your voicemail. Please do keep sending in your thoughts. And everyone else, folks, everyone else watching, you just might end up on, on bowling, on Real America's voice. Uncle Bobby, have a great day. Thank you for whatever you're doing. And thank you for that wonderful voicemail. See you again soon, my friend.

Eric Bolling (51:49)

Come go fishing with us.

Eric Bolling (51:51)

Come go fishing with you. See you again soon, sir. Thank you. Nice to meet you. How about that? Who doesn't love him some? Uncle Bobby. What a. What a patriot. What a good. What a just cogent thinking, common sense kind of guy. Uncle Bobby, thank you for those calls, by the way, folks. You can do it, too. 888-601-0032. You might get on TV. Send your voicemail. Get to as many as I can. War room's coming up next. But here's a little we're gonna play out with God, grit and guns. Take a listen. If you kill Americans, if you threaten

Chad Bianco (52:21)

Americans anywhere on Earth, we will hunt you down without a power and without hesitation. And we will kill you.

Caller 3 (52:28)

Don't hate nobody I just won't kneel I don't chase headlines I live what's real I raise my kids to think and pray to know the cause before they say I don't scare easy I don't care.

Eric Bolling (52:46)

In my tail because of you Real
