This is an I heart podcast. Guaranteed human. Ever notice your dog acting totally out of character? It might be stress. My dog Max used to lose it every time I grabbed my keys. The second I'd reach for the door, he'd be pacing, whining, or tearing up the couch. His separation anxiety was stressing both of us out. So I tried Cradle. They make vet formulated calming products with premium ingredients, chews, bars, tinctures, whatever works for your dog. And here's the thing, they help dogs stay calm and relaxed without making them drowsy or zoned out. Whether it's separation anxiety, thunderstorms, car rides, or just the chaos of everyday life, Cradle helps support balanced behavior. And the best part, you can try cradle risk free. If it's not a good fit for your pup, you get your money back. No stress, no hassle, no hard feelings. So if you're ready to help your dog find their calm, head to cradlemypet.com. that's K-R-A--L-E-My Pet.com. that's Cradle with a K. Try it risk free today because a calm pet is happy. Pet workers in America, we're particularly proud of the work we've led to create an electrician training program. And we're committed to train 100,000 electrical workers and 30,000 new apprentices across the country. On top of that, we're excited about significantly growing these programs. We've heard the pledge. Finally, Mr. President, as you said, the American grid needs to be more resilient, and so we're investing here as well. Two quick things we pioneered, demand response with data centers. So we, with technology, will move workloads out of the way during extreme weather events to make room for the community. And second, we're applying AI itself to the grid to increase capacity in the grid. So again, I want to thank you, I want to thank you all for convening us. The benefits from AI responsibly delivered are immense for America's businesses, for America's communities and and for its citizens. Thank you again for your leadership on this very important.

Thank you very much. Doing a great job. Thank you.

Eric Bolling
Thank you, sir. Mr. President, I want to thank you for your support. Thank you. I want to thank you for your leadership. Because of your work on this issue, I'm confident that we will win the race with AI with China, and succeed in delivering inexpensive, abundant electricity for the American people. As you know, XAI builds huge supercomputers and data centers, and we build them fast. Currently, we're building one on the Tennessee Mississippi state line. As part of today's commitment, we will take extensive additional steps to continue to reduce cost of electricity for our neighbors. Mr. President, we want to be on your team to deliver a big win for the American people. Xai will therefore commit to develop 1.2 gigawatts of power as our supercomputer's primary power source. And that will be for every additional data center as well. We will expand what is already the largest global megapack power installation in the world. The installation will provide enough backup power to the city to power the city of Memphis and more than sufficient energy to power the town of South Haven, Mississippi where the data center resides. We will build new substations and invest in electrical infrastructure to provide stability to the area's grid. We build state of the art. We haven't talked about that yet, but this is actually quite important. We will build state of the art water recycling plants that will protect approximately 4.7 billion gallons of water in the Memphis aquifer each year. And we will employ thousands of American workers from around the city of Memphis on both sides of the Tennessee Mississippi border. We will also commit to to deploying our AI technology to make people's lives better. Creating a period of abundance where electricity becomes cheaper and people have access to the best goods and services humankind has ever seen. Finally, Mr. President, we commit to take these efforts into orbit. We are currently designing orbital data centers powered by the nuclear reactor in the sky. Launching supercomputers into space will mean even more energy on Earth as all the power plants that we're building now and power sources we've built will be available to the communities instead of the data centers. I've been in space. I've been in the space industry for nearly 40 years, sir. And I have never seen things move more quickly than under your administration. So thank you for that, Mr. President. You've been strong and clear about building AI that is that benefits Americans and benefits American values, including demanding that AIs is consistent with American values. In July 2025, you signed an executive order directing agency heads to support only those AI models that are. That prioritize truth seeking and are ideologically neutral. We fully support that order and we're fully on board with the Ratepayer Protection Pledge. And I'm really excited to be here. Thank you so much for your time.
- [04:58]
Ben
Very much. Thank you.
- [05:00]
Congressman Mark Harris
Would anybody like to say something? We're finished with the official speakers, but we have the most important people in the room and great people, political and otherwise.
- [05:11]
Ben
Would anyone have anything Please, Darrell, Perhaps as the California representative here, I can tell you how excited I am about your proposals. First of all, all of you have major presence in California. And not long ago I visited the largest site of one that's not here today, Apple. It's in Reno, Nevada. Mr. President. It is 1700 acres. It goes on, as you said, forever with buildings. It is doing a great job. It is one of dozens. Most of you also have centers being put up in that same neighborhood just outside my state of California. The reason they're there is the availability of power. And the story, I just wanted to briefly say that says a lot about the current state versus where you're putting it. With the help of industry, they have what you would call huge, beautiful power plants. One after another that they have. They built them for backup because in Nevada they were able to get all the power they wanted, but they built in resilience there. They've only had to run them extensively. When California calls and says we're having a blackout, would you please turn on your power generators so we don't go dark in San Jose, miles away. That said so much to me about the responsibility of these companies already in the past building backup power, but also the need to have the resilience that these plants would will create as a result of your work. And they won't be diesel plants, they'll be clean burning plants. They won't be temporary or backup. They'll be positive. Lastly, my state has invested in solar. So much so that we have it to burn during the day. Literally, we burn it, we don't know what to do with it. The ability of these power plants to take solar when it's in excess and then provide that resilience 24 7. All as a result of your leadership. And so as someone who is from a state that may build less of them but needs them more than any other state, I want to thank you for what you're doing. Because these companies now can be empowered to do a lot more than what they did so far on the edge of California to help California be part of winning the AI race.
- [07:41]
Congressman Mark Harris
Thank you very much.
- [07:42]
Ben
We'll go very quickly. David, please. Thank you, sir. As I think all of you know here we have an AI boom going on. We also have a construction boom going on. Just the leading companies in the US are investing $650 billion this year building out this infrastructure. That's a 2% tailwind to GDP and that is leading to job increases for construction workers and huge wage increases for construction workers like the Fellows, we got right up here. So this is a very important boom to sustain. And thanks to your leadership, Mr. President, we're doing that. And we're protecting residential ratepayers, making sure that their electricity prices will not go up. That's the combination we need. And I just want to contrast it, if I may, with the approach of Democrats like Bernie Sanders. Their approach is just to ban. They just want to ban the data centers, so they want to stop the economic growth. They want to stop the wage increases for blue collars. They want to stop the construction. They wanted to stop progress. That's not the answer. There's a much better answer. You have found it, sir. And I just want to vouch for the fact that in one of our very first meetings, you did say that you wanted to make our AI companies into energy companies. So that was. And I remember thinking, that's a really good idea. The President knows more about AI than I do. So this is, this is thanks to your leadership we're here today. And I know this is something that you've been championing for a very long time.
- [08:59]
Eric Bolling
Thank you.
- [08:59]
Ben
Thank you very much. And Katie, thank you.
- [09:00]
Eric Bolling
Yes, Mr. President. So this is something that we've not only just talked about, obviously on the national stage, but we've been talking about and wrestling within Alabama as well. Look, we understand the need to win the AI race, and you have made sure that America is put first in every category. And that means that we dominate there. And we do it in a way, though, that helps everyday Americans. So when we're looking at their safety and security and what that will ultimately prevail there, we're, we don't want to do it at the expense of rate payers. And you once again have taken an incredibly complex problem that everybody wants to talk about, and you actually found a solution. You found a win, win. We're not only going to win the AI race as a result of what you're doing today, but you have said to every American, to every Alabamian I see you, and we're going to make sure that your energy cost not only does not go up as a result, but you even said today with the added capacity that it's actually going to go down. In addition to all of that, just want to say thank you to you for being willing to be good community partners. That's what makes all of this work. So the communities that you will ultimately reside in, you are saying we want to build you up in every sense of the word, giving you greater opportunity as a result of this pledge today. So, Mr. President, thank you for making sure that Americans were put forward first and that this progress is not at their expense, but is rather at their. To their benefit.
- [10:26]
Ben
Yep, that's right. Very quickly, Derek. Mr. President, I have to tell you something. You're the only person in the world that could put together this coalition. You are the only person in the world. I hope the American people understand what we're talking about here today. You're meshing high tech with the hammer, putting these guys with the hard hats with, with the 100 pound brain nerds. And that's going to, that's going to be the.
- [10:47]
Eric Bolling
Sorry.
- [10:48]
Ben
I love you guys. So, Mr. President, the thing that the American people need to understand is that you're not thinking about an election cycle. You're thinking about the next generation. And what you're doing today by having this coalition of people is making sure that the future generations, our children, are not going to have to be concerned about losing a war. And that means so much, especially in this time now if people really take a step back and appreciate your. This is, this is actual visionary leadership. And it's going to take care long before or long after we're all gone. Sir, your efforts today are going to make America great into the, into the foreseeable future. So thank you so much. Thank you, Derek. You're doing a great job.
- [11:26]
Congressman Mark Harris
Bernie, I think you're okay.
- [11:27]
Ben
You want to say something really fast, Bernie? Thank you. He gets my vote. He gets my vote.
- [11:39]
Congressman Mark Harris
I have to go back and look
- [11:40]
Ben
at the war, you know, have a lot of things happening. Thank you, Bernie. You're doing a great job.
- [11:46]
Congressman Mark Harris
Please.
- [11:48]
Ben
This is Will Sharf. Go ahead.
- [11:50]
Congressman Mark Harris
Will you have anything to say?
- [11:52]
Ben
I think it's been pretty comprehensively covered
- [11:54]
Eric
by all the speakers you've had today,
- [11:55]
Ben
sir, but you're going to be signing a proclamation announcing the Ratepayer Protection Pledge. This is going to ensure American AI dominance in the years ahead, while also ensuring the that American ratepayers, ordinary Americans paying their electric bills, aren't paying anything more. And along with the proclamation that you're signing, each of the CEOs and industry representatives that we have present here will be signing an actual copy of the Ratepayer Protection Pledge, committing them to your vision for this industry going forward. Pretty good, right? And let me say to the press, thank you so much for being here. It was fantastic. After the pledges are signed, if we could have you move out of the room as quickly as you can so we can do a little bit of business. But thank you for being here at this thing. And as you heard, the summary of the Trump agenda is lower prices, higher wages. Okay, you got it done. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you, press.
- [13:07]
Eric
Alrighty, folks, that was Trump talking about the ratepayer protection pledge, meaning we're going to go after the AI to win the AI race, but not at the expense of people who are paying their, their electric bills and their gas bills. All right, how about a little quiz, a little culture quiz on performance? Two questions. Let's see how tuned in you really are. First question. The average American checks their phone how many times a day? 40, 90 or more than 144 times a day. Well, the answer, 144 times a day. Which means most people are interrupting your own focus every eight minutes. I know I'm guilty of this, severely guilty of that, actually. Now question two. According to performance researchers, how long does it take for your brain, the human brain, to fully refocus after an interruption? 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or more than 22 minutes. The answer is 23 minutes. So if you're checking your phone all day, you're never actually ever able to refocus and lock back into what you were doing. That's one of the reasons why I started the Edge. Every week we talk to people who perform at the highest levels. Athletes, founders, Wall street guys, fighters about discipline, focus and how to win in a distracted world where this is pulling at us non stop. New episodes every Thursday. Just search the Edge.

We'll be back in two and a half minutes.
- [14:59]
Ben
Well, let me be clear. In Minnesota, if you do fraud, public programs, if you steal taxpayer money, we'll find you, we'll prosecute you, we'll convict you and we'll throw you in jail.
- [15:08]
Eric
Oh, will you now? Cause you want to know something? Well, let's bring in our next guest. National security analyst, chairwoman of ActForAmerica.org and New York Times bestselling author of Rise in Defense of Judeo Christian Values and Freedom. Let's welcome Bridget Gabriel. Bridget Waltz says if we commit crime in Minnesota, we'll find you, we'll convict you and we'll Throw you in jail. He knew. He and Ellison knew about what was going, the fraud that was going on in his state since 26, 2019, almost seven years, more than six years. He knew about it, but it took young, whatever, the young guy who went over to Minnesota to really expose him. Now all of a sudden you're going to throw people in jail. Your thoughts on this nonsense with, especially with the Somalis in the voting bloc that they represent in Minnesota.
- [15:53]
Bridget Gabriel
Well, the more he spoke today, the more his nose grew longer than Pinocchio. I mean, who is he kidding? Does you think the American people are dumb? The stealing, the lying, the cheating, the COVID up, the kickbacks. This is what happens in Democrat controlled states and this is what happens with Democrat governors. And that's just scratching the tip of the iceberg. What happened in Minnesota, the robbing, the stealing of American taxpayer dollars. Your taxpayer dollars, my taxpayer dollars, the American people taxpayer dollars. To a group of people who despise us, who came to America to siphon off the chest of the United States of America. And I mean obviously they were not smart enough to figure out route on their own. They had the Democrat party help them out how to figure it out. And then they say, hey, give us a little bit of a kickback. You make money, we make money, everybody's happy. You contribute to our campaigns. It would have gone if it wasn't for again, I forgot his name. The young brilliant conservative who extorted some 22. That's right, 22 year old person. That's exactly the type of journalists that we need.
- [17:01]
Eric
Yeah. Oh, okay, Tim, we'll throw you, we'll find you and throw you in jail. What were we waiting for? 7 years? You didn't do it and you didn't start talking like that until you got caught. And I find it right. Kind of fascinating because the Democrats on that panel wouldn't ask him a question about the nine billion plus dollars in fraud they were asking him. Well, was ICE there? Did ICE interrupt what you were doing? Almost like over the last couple of weeks or a few weeks that ICE was there somehow derailed their investigation into finding the fraudsters.
- [17:34]
Bridget Gabriel
Isn't it amazing how they cover up for each other, how they always stand up with each other? I wish that Republicans will learn a lesson. This should be mandatory watching for Republicans so they can learn how they can stand shoulder to shoulder with each other and protect each other. We don't do that on our side. Look what happened in Virginia with the election of Jones, a candidate for who posted on his social media that he was. He wished the death on an elected official and his children. Yet the Democrats got him elected in the state of Virginia. We on the Republican side, anybody that says anything less than holier than thou, the Republic, the whole Republican body rejects him. Like what happened to the congressman in New York. This needs to change. But thankfully, we have President Trump. We have strong Republicans in the House who are challenging, who are holding hearings, who are asking the right questions. We just need to make sure, Eric, that we get them all reelected this coming November. Because we cannot afford to lose the House or the Senate if you want to continue finding the truth and holding people accountable. Because if we lose the House and the Senate, we're screwed for the next two years.
- [18:43]
Eric
Yeah, even if we lose just the House, it would be screwed because they'll just put a stop to everything Trump's trying to do. Hey, Ben, is this next sound bite the same or a different sound bite than we ran in the opening? Is this different? Ben, let's roll this. Because you can't. I can't get enough of Tim Walls lying to the American people under oath. By the way, watch.
- [19:00]
Ben
A single taxpayer dollar wasted on fraud is a dollar we can't tolerate. That's why, as governor, I have taken decisive action. I appointed a head of Program Integrity to oversee statewide anti fraud efforts. I created the position of Inspector General at the Minnesota Department of Education, at the Department of Human Services. I ordered data driven reviews and where appropriate, corrective action against providers. I've directed my administration to work with
- [19:26]
Eric
our partners in chief. Come out of this nonsense early because when did you do that, Tim? And by the way, why didn't you do it when you were losing $9 billion since 2019? It's all BS, Bridget, but go ahead, your thoughts on him lying and how would the American people just. Okay, let's elect more Democrats to these blue states.
- [19:45]
Bridget Gabriel
Yeah.
- [19:46]
Congressman Mark Harris
Yeah.
- [19:47]
Bridget Gabriel
My thoughts are. Thank God he is not vice president right now and Kamala Harris is president. Can you imagine the corruption that they would have had on the highest levels of government if this is what they're doing in Minnesota, can you imagine what they would have done in Washington D.C. thank God he is not vice president. That's why elections matter. And that's why, again, elections matter. Thank God we have Republicans right now who are in control of the House and the Senate, who are holding these hearings, who are asking the right questions, who are putting them on the spot, nailing them so they can speak the truth. And even with that, they are lying through their teeth. You know he's pontificating, speaking, you know, flying by the seat of his pants trying to look good. But I don't expect anything different than the Democrat Party. They can lie straight to your face and keep on going.
- [20:37]
Eric
And I'd like to just weigh in. We about a minute and a half left, Bridget. Texas had to go to a vote, a referendum vote, last night. Turns out almost 2 million people voted to make sure Sharia law would never be the law of the land of the state of Texas. I find it a sad day in America when a state, especially a state like Texas, has to vote to say Sharia won't be a legal law in the state of Texas. It's insane. I call it Sharia. You and I used to call it Sharia creep 10 years ago. And they used to call us bigoted for saying that. But it really is. What's going on isn't.
- [21:08]
Congressman Mark Harris
Is.
- [21:08]
Bridget Gabriel
And Texas has such a bad case of apathy. We introduced. We. My organization, act for America, introduced American laws for American court anti Sharia laws in Texas in 2009. It took us until 2017 to be able to pass it because it was the Republicans who would not pass a law in Texas that said only American law should be used in an American courtroom instead of the. Instead of Sharia law. And so this is back between 2010 and 2017. The only reason Texas woke up is because of Epic City. Not because patriotic Americans decided to wake up on their own, but because Islamists became so successful, they forced the people to wake up.
- [21:52]
Eric
And when they didn't get what they wanted in Texas, they tried to do it in Florida. And it's still being litigated down here in the state of Florida. I think we really have to have a firm hand. It's not bigoted to say if you want to come here, you act the way we act, you're bound by the same laws that we are. Bridget Gabriel, always really good to have you on. Thank you Again, chairwoman of actforamerica.org thank you, Bridget. Always good to see you.
- [22:14]
Bridget Gabriel
Thank you, my friend.
- [22:15]
Eric
All right, folks, before we move on, if you're 64 years or older, this very, very important message is for you. Every year, too many seniors realize their Medicare plan doesn't cover the doctors they trust. Suddenly you're stuck finding new doctors who. Or overpaying or both. That's Medicare. You can spend hours researching, doing everything right and still end up on a plan that costs you thousands. That's why we partnered with Chapter. Chapter is the only national advisor that compares Every medical plan, on average, they save people over eleven hundred dollars a year. That's just the savings. One caller, Jill, said her Chapter advisor showed her options she didn't even see on the Medicare's own website. That's how broken the Medicare system is. Chapter is a free resource. I said that Right. It's a free resource for my audience and can review all of your options in under 20 minutes. So if you're on Medicare or will be soon, call our friends over at chapter at 814-get-help 814G e t h e l p. It's help you can trust. All right, we'll be back. And a half minutes. The White House posted a TikTok video of some of the people killed by illegals. Watch.
- [23:42]
Eric Bolling
Nobody ever wants to see their child in a bathroom the way I found her. Two beautiful kids in California, Anya Varfolomiev
- [23:53]
Eric
and Nikolai Osokin, were killed by an
- [23:57]
Eric Bolling
illegal alien in a DUI crash. Now, the illegal alien was indicted, but in 2025, because of California's criminal protecting state sentencing laws, the criminal, the illegal alien who killed those two teenagers was scheduled for early R. It's been hard.
- [24:21]
Eric
It's been hard. You know, one would think the United States of America, that our laws would be followed by everyone, including the left. Unfortunately, not only are they not being followed, they're being twisted to constantly portray Republicans in a negative light. Today, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was in a hearing on oversight of the Department of Homeland Security and faced Democrats who outright lied about the work and actions of ICE agents. Here to discuss is Congressman Mark Harris of North Carolina. Congressman, really good to have you, my friend. So it was really interesting juxtaposition today on the Hill. You had Kristi Noem testifying to the House over House oversight or Judiciary. And then you had. And then you had Tim Walls testifying to oversight, which was. I watched some of that. Infuriating the way the Democrats just kind of diverted the whole idea of the $9 billion that were stolen from Minnesota and kind of pointing their finger at Kristi Noem, who was testifying maybe one or two conference rooms down the hallway from that one. Break that down for us today. And what's the final result that you saw?
- [25:35]
Congressman Mark Harris
Well, Eric, thank you so much for having me today. You're exactly right. We brought Secretary Noemi in and of course, as a freshman in Congress, I'm one of the last ones on our side to get a chance to ask questions. And so I sat there really in between different committee meetings that I had today, but overwhelmed, quite frankly. I said this when I started to speak, I was overwhelmed by just the contempt and lack of decorum and lack of respect that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle had for, for our Secretary of Homeland Security. I mean, my goodness, whether you agree with her or disagree with her, whether you like her policies or don't like our policies, I've never seen people just treat someone with such contempt. And, and I almost think that that tends to be, again, how the left operates when they don't have any legitimate issues, when they can't really talk about policy or things that are going on, they tend to just turn things so personal. So that's what I witnessed throughout the day. And of course, in my questioning, I went down the line of highlighting some of the folks just in North Carolina that we have seen killed by illegal aliens and again took the opportunity to highlight some of the bad hombres that were arrested during the Operation Charlotte's Web that took place in my district or close to my district right there in North Carolina. So again, Secretary Noem was patient. She was very, very well prepared. I thought she answered every question that was asked when there was a situation she was not aware of, she said she was not aware of it, she was going to look into it and get answers and would immediately get back with these members. So I feel confident she will. And again, I just think it's crazy, the contempt with which she is being treated here on Capitol Hill.
- [27:31]
Eric
Amazing, amazing server. The other side, Jamie Raskin, a Democrat from Maryland, giving her a hard time saying that she wasn't doing her job, maybe even doing things illegally. Meanwhile, the American people side with, with her and with you and us conservatives. I think the number is 82% overall. All, all sides considered minorities inclusive. Blacks at 73% agree with what she's doing. Hispanics at around 80% agree with what she's doing. That's both sides of the aisle. So what's the political play here?
- [27:59]
Congressman Mark Harris
Well, the political play from their point is just simply, I think, to say everything's bad. I mean, I think that is all they've got. They don't have a leader, they really don't have an agenda, they don't have issues. So they just look for anything to say, things are bad, we need to change, and that's all they've got. And the truth is we know what we would be changing for would be very, very bad. Would, would be changing a government. A majority in the House, a majority in the Senate, and the President of The White House, we would be exchanging that for a Congress that would be involved in just trying to impeach President Trump day after day. If the Democrats in any way fell into control of the House or the Senate. We don't need to go down that road. But I think that's all they've got is just to try to say, well, you know, things aren't great and therefore
- [28:48]
Eric
we need to change. We hate Trump. I mean, all the things that Trump is doing are things that, that Clinton tried to do. Barack Obama said he was going to do, Joe Biden couldn't do. Trump does it now, all of a sudden it becomes, I don't know, bigoted, illegal, or someone's not doing a job. I want you to take a look at this. Sir. I'm not sure you probably saw this, but I'm not sure our audience have seen this yet. NPR posted this, that and they say that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than us born Americans Studies Fine. Now I will tell you unequivocally, I'm a statistician. This is pre tape. That's bull. Straight up unequivocally bull. That is not what the numbers reflect. There are 330 million Americans. The rate of violent crime and crime is far lower than the 2 or 3 million that are here illegally. Sir, your thoughts? That's my opinion and I know the numbers. What are your thoughts on that?
- [29:44]
Congressman Mark Harris
Agree with you 100%. And that foolishness was actually brought up, and I think it was the representative from Tennessee today on the Democrat side brought up and had the nerve to say to the angel families, there were a whole lot of angel families, those that have lost loved ones at the hands of the criminal illegal aliens. And they were all across the front holding pictures, which was a powerful thing for any of us who were a part of that hearing. But he actually said he was sorry for their loss, but they would have been more be more likely to lose their lives at the hands of an American citizen than they would an illegal alien. And I thought Secretary Noem was very on top of it. She pointed out that all of those angels families she felt like were highly insulted by what this representative even put that out on the table. So I think it's just foolish foolishness. I'll even buy your description of the BS that it is. Bottom line is we need to make sure that people know the truth and we can't forget these folks that have been lost, that have died at the hands of these illegal aliens. And I'm going to do everything I Can to continue putting that information out there, sir.
- [31:01]
Eric
One more thought before we go. We got about a minute and a half, two minutes. There's a big election. Looks like it's going to come down to Roy Cooper, that Senate seat that Thom Till a Senate seat in North Carolina versus Michael Whatley. Michael Whatley is the former RNC chair or current RNC chair. I don't even know about that. But certainly endorsed by President Trump. Cooper's been a thorn in the side to anyone who's conservative certainly in the state of North Carolina. Your thoughts on that very important Senate seat by the way, because balance of power right now about 53 but one you need to keep, sir.
- [31:32]
Congressman Mark Harris
We definitely need to keep it. And, and we now have a nominee and this is important. I mean we had a primary yesterday. Michael Watley emerged. He emerged strong. I think he got a strong 65 to 70% of the vote yesterday in that primary and he had a number of candidates that were running. He is our nominee. Roy Cooper has certainly demonstrated over his period of time in Raleigh as our Attorney General and then as our governor that he is in so many ways an empty suit. He has simply been not carried out the job he needed to do. And when you look at the fact that he went from Attorney General to governor and then you recognize these reports that are out there that he was actually part of coming to a plan that released during COVID 3500 prisoners during that Covid era. 51 I believe that were guilty of felony convictions and everything that were serving their time, including a man that made on the list allegedly was the Carlos Brown who was the guy that actually killed Irina Zaruta. The. The beautiful Ukrainian woman who had come to Charlotte escaping a war torn Ukraine and was trying to build her life and was making her way home on the light rail from work at a pizza parlor where she worked. And there the Carlos Brown encountered her, stabbed her from the back in the throat. She never knew what hit her. And all of America has seen that horrible picture.
- [33:03]
Eric
Correct.
- [33:03]
Congressman Mark Harris
Listen, Roy Cooper is going to have to answer for the kind of soft on crime policies that he has instituted. I think Michael Watley is going to be able to get his name out. That's going to be important. President Trump's going to be critical because listen, the president needs allies in the US Senate and not just allies that are going to have an R by their name, but an R that's going to be will work with the president.
- [33:26]
Eric
Correct. I said I posted this just, just a minute ago, sir. The two and Eight new. Two new additions to the endangered species list. It's ayatollahs and rhinos. Let's see if we can bring that one home. So very good having you. Congressman Mark Harris, North Carolina. Thank you, sir.
- [33:42]
Congressman Mark Harris
Great to be with you. Thank you, Eric.
- [33:43]
Eric
Thank you. I Folks, we'll be back. Two and a half minutes. Think about this for one second. In 2006, $20,000 equaled roughly 33 ounces of gold at the spot price at the time. At Today's price, those 33 ounces would be worth about $165,000. So let me break that down. Had you put 20 grand into gold, then you could basically sell it and buy a house. Or at least a big down payment on a really big house. Smart Americans diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals. And that's why you need to consider buying gold from my close friends at Birch Gold Group. For thousands of years, gold has been a store of value and wealth. And today it's a crucial part of any balance strategy. Even better, Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered retirement account. In gold. Just text America that word America to the number 989-898 to receive your free info kit on gold. No obligation, just useful information. They've got an A plus rating with a Better Business Bureau and tens of thousands of happy customers. Let Birch Gold Group help you diversify with gold. I do. They're great people. Now that's peace of mind. Text the word America to 989-898. Again, America to the number 989-898J. All right, folks. Jazzy Jasmine Crockett, Democrats Senate primary loser. But how? Make it make sense, please. I for one am shocked. This didn't work. What a brilliant endorsement from a brilliant lady. From one DEI lady to another, how did this not work? How did this not work, y'?
- [35:34]
Eric Bolling
All, early primary voting is happening right
- [35:37]
Bridget Gabriel
now in Texas and we need Jasmine Crockett to win. She is running for U.S. senate. And if you want somebody that's going
- [35:44]
Eric Bolling
to fight for your right, if you want somebody to come fight for your
- [35:46]
Bridget Gabriel
community, if you want somebody that's going
- [35:48]
Eric Bolling
to go up there and represent you
- [35:51]
Bridget Gabriel
and represent your issues, please vote for my sister, Jasmine Crockett.
- [35:57]
Eric
I won't do it yet. I want to hold off. I can't believe this didn't work either.
- [36:02]
Congressman Mark Harris
How about this new one?
- [36:03]
Ben
They have their new star, Crockett.
- [36:05]
Congressman Mark Harris
How about her? She's the new star of the Democrat Party. Jasmine Crockett.
- [36:10]
Ben
They're in big trouble.
- [36:13]
Congressman Mark Harris
But you have this woman, Crockett. She's a very low IQ person. I watched her speak the other day. She's definitely a low IQ person.
- [36:21]
Eric
Crockett.
- [36:23]
Congressman Mark Harris
Oh, man. Oh, man. She's a very low IQ person.
- [36:29]
Ben
Somebody said the other day, she's one
- [36:30]
Congressman Mark Harris
of the leaders of the party.
- [36:32]
Ben
I said, you gotta be kidding.
- [36:34]
Congressman Mark Harris
Now they're gonna rely on Crockett. Crockett's gonna bring them back.
- [36:39]
Eric
It's getting better and better. Here's what Donald Trump said about me. How did that not work? Not talking about actual policy didn't work. That's so odd. And this didn't make her more viable as a Senate candidate right here. Really? I can't believe this endorsement didn't do it either.
- [36:57]
Eric Bolling
Especially by Crockett and Talarico.
- [36:59]
Bridget Gabriel
They're two of the most effective communicators
- [37:01]
Eric Bolling
in the entire Democratic Party right now.
- [37:03]
Bridget Gabriel
Yeah, when we were seeing the leaderboard there.
- [37:05]
Eric Bolling
So you see them on your screen right now.
- [37:07]
Bridget Gabriel
Do they look like a great pair of running mates?
- [37:11]
Eric
You know what I mean?
- [37:13]
Ben
Can.
- [37:14]
Bridget Gabriel
Can one of you just be vice senator?
- [37:15]
Eric
Can we do that? Rachi. Rachi Maddow. They're not running mates. Rachi. The white guy won the white dude one. Oh, my God. That's exploding everywhere. And now we're sitting there thinking, is the Democratic Party or Democrat Party? Excuse me. Not just misogynistic and racist, too. Now say it ain't so. There are some broken wine glasses over at Ms. Now, today, I'll bet Congresswoman Jazzy Jasmine Crockett, loud and proud about being one of the worst race baiters in Congress, has just lost her Democrat primary for U.S. senate handily. Who could have seen this coming? Tossed aside by the Democrat Party. Say what I mean.
- [37:55]
Ben
Lost.
- [37:55]
Eric
Not narrowly. In a hanging chad way. Nope. Nope. Lost. How did the queen of controversial congressional theatrics react? Reflection? Humility? Maybe some thoughtful the voters have spoken concession? Well, if you thought Jazzy Jasmine was going to do that, you just don't know Crockett. I guess. Folks, can you please queue up some good old Democrat election denialism for me? We would appreciate that.
- [38:21]
Eric Bolling
Fred has already stated we encourage each and every one of you to remain resilient.
- [38:28]
Bridget Gabriel
We cannot allow this type of behavior
- [38:31]
Eric Bolling
to be rewarded, because so long as they know that they can win, even if it means cheating, then they will continue to do it. So I am asking you, I am begging you, to make sure that you go ahead and figure out where it is that you are Supposed to vote, stand in line, wait in line. Unfortunately, this is what Republicans like to do. And so they specifically targeted Dallas county, and I think we all know why.
- [39:06]
Eric
Yeah, we know why. They're racist. And they cheated. God. Wait a minute. Wait one second. Who cheated? Democrats. This was a Democrat primary, right? There some suggestion that somehow Republicans cheated in a Democrat primary. See, Jazzy's upset that the Texas Supreme Court intervened and didn't let her cheat. And now it's somehow the Republican Party's fault and Trump's fault. This is playing out like the worst Stacey Abrams movie ever. But wait, isn't questioning election outcomes like some sort of assault on democracy? I kind of remember that. Right? In Georgia. Jack Smith. Is it like insurrection or something? Don't be silly, folks, because that's only the case when Republicans say it. I got it. Right, right. When a Democrat says it and does it. They're just brave, brave fighters for justice. Oh, the irony of someone who voted against the SAVE act, against protecting the sanctity of our elections. How? Questioning the sanctity of our elections. And for a bit there, Crockett was treated like she was the future of the Democrat Party, wasn't she? You mean to tell me moments like this didn't help matters?
- [40:14]
Eric Bolling
And because we in these hot Texas streets, honey,
- [40:21]
Bridget Gabriel
y' all know we got
- [40:22]
Eric Bolling
governor hot wheels down there. Come on, now.
- [40:27]
Bridget Gabriel
And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot mess, honey.
- [40:32]
Eric Bolling
So. So. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
- [40:36]
Eric
Well, in case anyone forgot, Crockett was referring to the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, who's paralyzed and uses a wheelchair. And that type of class with a K, was Crockett's entire political brand. But here's what I want to know. How exactly do Democrats spin this moment? Because last I recall, what was it now? Republicans are sexist and racist. Isn't that right?
- [40:57]
Eric Bolling
Most black people are not Republicans simply because we just is, like, y' all racist.
- [41:01]
Bridget Gabriel
I can't hang out with the KKK in them. So this idea that I'm gonna go
- [41:05]
Eric Bolling
and be like, oh, well, they're being racist or misogynistic towards me. Like, you think I didn't know black woman when I woke up and decided that I was going to run for the United States Senate.
- [41:13]
Eric
And now. And now, how dare you Democrats. How dare you look at a black woman of such class and prestige and choose the white dude instead? Have you no pride? See what I did there? Have you no dei? Is this the hashtag systemic Democrat racism we've been hearing about? Or does it matter that someone doesn't bring up policy beyond just hating the president of the United States and calling Texans racist.
- [41:38]
Eric Bolling
There's nothing that I could ever say or do that would make MAGA be like, that's our girl. Right? Because, like, first of all, ton of races.
- [41:46]
Eric
By the way, the policy of the guy who won against Jasmine, James Talarico. In case anyone was confused, our southern
- [41:54]
Ben
border should be like our front porch.
- [41:56]
Congressman Mark Harris
There should be a giant welcome mat out front.
- [41:59]
Eric
How adorable. So my message to Jasmine, Jazzy Jasmine Crockett today. Reflect, learn, take some personal responsibility. Or you could just do what you always do and blame everyone else, which is right on brand for Democrats. But really, on a serious note, for me personally, I'll miss moments like this. Gather round and let's remember all that is or was Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett.
- [42:22]
Bridget Gabriel
We done picking cotton? We are.
- [42:27]
Eric Bolling
You can't pay us enough to find a plantation.
- [42:30]
Eric
But.
- [42:30]
Eric Bolling
But when we start talking about things that look like evidence, they wanna act like they blind. They don't know what this is. These are our national secrets. Looks like in the. To me, this looks like more evidence of our national secrets. Say on the stage at Mar a Lago. So she gon keep saying trans, trans, trans. So that people will feel threatened and child, listen. Send them to Texas, they send them to Florida. Every deplorable state that we can think about.
- [42:59]
Bridget Gabriel
They usually coming out of.
- [43:00]
Eric
Y' all think, no, I'm sorry, there's another minute left in that. But it just goes on and on. I'm sure we're gonna have another opportunity. By the way, if anyone knows, anyone who knows Jasmine Crockett, we would love to get her on the show. Just, Just give us a few minutes of your brilliance. Weed. Jazzy Jasmine Crockett. We'll be back in two and a half minutes.
- [43:19]
Congressman Mark Harris
Listen, they feed you headlines, cut the furniture, Say it loud enough, call it fair change.
- [43:31]
Eric
All right, how about another quiz? How about a quiz on AI about our future? All right, quick cultural quiz. Two questions. Let's see how dialed in you are again. Question number one. Right now. How many people worldwide are using artificial intelligence tools every week? 50 million? 200 million? More than a billion? Well, the answer. More than a billion people use AI every single day. Seven billion people in the world. Think about that. In just a couple of years, AI has gone from tech curiosity to something hundreds of billions of people are using every single day. Here's question number two. According to recent studies, what skill is becoming more valuable as AI gets more powerful? Is it memorizing information, working longer hours or independent thinking. Clear in independent thinking. Because machines can generate answers. They're faster than us. They're smarter than us. They can read 200 pages of documents in seconds. So the real edge becomes goes to the people who ask better questions. That's what every, every, every episode that we put up explores every week on the Edge, how high performers stay sharp in a rapidly changing world. New episodes every Thursday. Search Eric Bolling with the Edge on YouTube or anywhere. Have to have them both. Thank you for watching Rav morning, noon and night. Stay with us. Thank you for watching the four o' clock show. Really appreciate you. And I also very much appreciate if you go to YouTube, Eric. Falling in the edge. Type it in. Become part of a subscription base 12,000 strong. We want to get to a million, but they're pushing our content out. The more people, the more of you sign up, the bigger we get. I appreciate that. Never going to sell you anything over there, I promise you. And by the way, it's not politics, so it's not competing with this at all. Thank you. All right, let's do some voicemails. Ben.
- [45:16]
Ben
Yes, sir. We have a viewer. He's got a long winded response to your Dershowitz interview.
- [45:21]
Eric
Okay.
- [45:22]
Ben
Hey, Eric, you are the man. I'm telling you. This is Friday, February 27th. Just got done watching Thor. What's you talking with him? And I think that these people are so brainwashed. I know he's a lawyer. It just seems funny that he was accused of some shady stuff in this as well. And just like you have, you know, Cash Patel and Bongino, big talk, big talk. And then all at once they get
- [45:56]
Eric
too close to something.
- [45:57]
Ben
Now, I understand they're probably getting threats and they're probably fearful for their lives and the lives of their families, so that's understandable. But the American people are not fools. We understand and we see what's going on. And this is total bull. Clinton has got pictures, young girls and hot tubs sitting on his lap. Did we forget about Monica?
- [46:22]
Eric
And that was my issue with Alan. Look, look, Allen was Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer. I'm not accusing Alan of anything. All I'm saying is when there's smoke, there's fire. And I said that to him. He said, well, sometimes there's a lot of arson too. When there's smoke and fire. I don't know. Bill Clinton looks like the guy who probably enjoyed his time at Epstein island, if you know what I mean. To start to defend Bill Clinton is insanity, especially when we know so many times he lied. Whatever. It was an important interview. And thank you for that. That those thoughts. Benny, another one.
- [46:51]
Ben
We have a viewer's thoughts on the economy. Hi, Eric, my name is Sean. I'm from Missouri. I watch your show every day. And just something I was thinking about, you know, with current events and everything. Trump espousing about how great the market is and you know, inflation rates are down and, you know, the stock market hit over 50,000. That's great and everything, but that doesn't trickle down to the average American. Like people just assume. I know a lot of that falls to retailers and manufacturers, but, you know, 70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. We're not feeling this golden age that the Trump administration is.
- [47:43]
Eric
Sean, you're 100% right. I don't mean to cut this off short, but you're 100% right. But it'll come, my friend. Remember, this is one year and a month or so into his presidency. Second time Biden racked up inflation, made everything more expensive. And it has to take time to come down. Oil prices were coming down. Certainly Iran doesn't help. They will come down. Gasoline prices got into the high twos for a while there. It's up a little bit more. Probably going to go up now, but, but that all helps. And Trump is trying to, you know, memorialize Trump tax cuts to keep them lower. Yes, you're right. Some of these things. I'm going to talk about one of these next week. There's a another billionaire bailout which we want to push back against as well. It takes time and there's a lot that will trickle down, but it doesn't trickle down immediately. It takes a lot of time. And I've said this from the beginning, when oil prices come down, everything comes down eventually. Just takes time to work the lower oil prices through the system. Benny, do we have a short one by chance, or can we hear a very short one?
- [48:40]
Ben
It says viewer thinks Trump is taking care of business. Eric, we wanted a president that was going to take care of business. We got a businessman, he's taking care of business.
- [48:48]
Eric
Glad you said that. Literally the reason why I got Behind Trump in 2015, even before he announced that he was going to run for president, before anyone else at Fox, I'm going to tell you this before Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, anyone, I was there first for that reason. I wanted to see a politician out. I want to see a businessman in the seat. He is treating the Oval Office like the boardroom. And it's fantastic. And it'll. It'll work, guys. It'll work. I don't agree with everything that goes on, but most of the stuff I do and I know the businessman will take care of business in America. Agree with that. Last caller. Warhammer's coming up next. Appreciate your time. Have a great night. We'll see you tomorrow on a Thursday. Share the hour with the president of the United States. Again. But that's what we do here. Stay on RAV all day long. See you tomorrow.
